Dinner was coordinated by Leota Saunders. Freshmen, parents invitea Freshmen and their parents are invited to "Passages 1993" to be held October 24, 1989 at the Warm Springs Agency Longhouse.

Memorial service learned through trial and error To the editor, On June 23, prior to Pi-Ume-Sha, I conducted my first memor ial service in memory of my brother Antonio M. Ncjal (Stacona), who passed away in August 1988. Through personal trial and error, I learned this intricate process from my elders. The following people are to be especially acknowledged in helping me learn ceremonial protocol of a traditional burial, mourning and conducting a memorial. My Aunt Elvina, my cousin Beulah, Gene, Beans, Prunie, the cooks Ruby and Margo, and Bernice Mitchell who presided over the memorial and give-away. In addition, I express deep ap preciation to all my family and friends (too numerous to list) who traveled from Seaside, Portland, Prineville, Milwaukie and SanJose to be with me during this ceremony. All these folks were instrumental in helping with the luncheon to feed 150-200 at the Pi ume-Sha grounds, ran food from the Long house, brought in helium balloons for the ceremony and participated in the memorial and joiners' cere monies. My heartfelt appreciation to Cati, who devoted many hours sewing wingdresses for my daughter, my two nieces, all the accessories and additional items for the give-away. My daughter Charmagne, my two nieces, Paisly and Sweetwater, my nephew Levi and my sister-in-law, Cati and my cousin Onte's grandson were recognized as new. joiners this year. Finally, thanks to the runner, family and friends, who either ded icated their run or offered their support in honor of my brother during the Pi-Umc-Sha 2.7 and 6.4 run. I could not have completed this leg of the journey without all these beautiful people. It was a lot more work than I imagined, but the right thing to do for my brother, myself and my family. Now my brother and I, along with everyone else, can get on with our spiritual journeys. I love you all. Charlotte YVilhelm (Nejil Stacona) 1173 Corvallis Drive SanJose, CA 95120 Love your child enough to care To the Editor, Every morning around 8 a.m. or so, there are several "family cars" that pick up other children at the bus stop across from the fire hall and from in front of the Warm Springs Court Building. It's great to love your child enough to permit himher to drive to school, but please love your child enough to have insurance coverage and make sure your child has an Oregon State driver's license. Ideally, your child should have completed a driver's safety course. Last, but not least, have the other parents' permission to let their loved one ride with your child. If your driving child doesn't have have a driver's license and or insu rance, plan to: 1 . appear in court in the jurisdic tion in which they are cited; 2. pay a fine; or, 3. have your insurance premium elevated each time your child is cited. I would hope a tragedy doesn't have to occur to wake you up. Love your child enough to care before anything happens. This is what school buses are for. A concerned citizen, Daisy Ike Thank you for saving life To the editor, This letter is in appreciation to the people and relatives that helped to save my life. Thank you very much for caring enough to help save my life and to give me the confidence to pull through. If it weren't for you people that helped me, I wouldn't be here writ ing this letter to you people. Once again thank you for the prayers that were sent.
