Mains present update on family activities
"Spring has sprung." or like
they used to say in the olden
days. "It's Green Up Time."
Well to say the least, the weather
has been perfect in every respect
for the past few days. No clouds,
no cold winds but just the kind
of weather anyone could ask
for. Ideal weather for the out
doorsmen and ones with the
green thumb. Ahhh! that sun
sure feels good.
Speaking of the weather, we
really never had any kind of a
tough winter at all if any. There
was not much snow to speak of
and not too many sub-zero days.
So we may be in for a long dry
summer. This goes to show that
every season has a purpose. The
long cold winters with snow provides moisture for the long hot
summer days and so on. Spring is like a new born, so fresh and
green and growing and developing through the summer months
and the final harvest in the fall.
When we have a mild winter we pay for it in the summer.
Everything is affected. The crops don't have adequate moisture,
the range lands are all dry and bare. Water is scarce and expensive
and the crops that come from these conditions sometimes cost
much more than normal which makes it hard for some people to
get along.
So, in the future, if your feel we are having too much snow, you
must think twice before deciding on what's too much and what
isn't. We need all the moisture each year for everything that grows.
To the Editor:
Enclosed are two articles for
printing in the newspaper. Since
we lived in Warm Springs for a
long time and have many friends
there, I thought news of the family
would be of some interest.

vices, BIA. for 120 days. His detail

mately four years as the Area Spe

Affairs. He was born and raised in

und Nellie Main of Billings. Mon
tana. The Longhams, both in the

This is concerning the Peyote
religion meeting that took place on
March 3, 1990. That was a Satur
day night, for those of you who
might have been there.
I was asked by my sister and
another person to please come out
to the meeting to sit with kids that
would be there.
I agreed, mainly because they
both promised a fee would be paid.
I counted sixteen children, and
also as many adults attending.
I never spoke about payment
Tennis tourney needs youth
To the Editor:
To whom it may concern. My
name is Mathew Smith from the
Klamath-Modoc Tribes of South
ern Oregon and Northern Califor
nia. I have been elected this past
year to the North American Indian
Tennis Association as a board
member. I was assigned the task of
promoting this year's 1990 National
Indian Tennis Tournament being
held in Taos, New Mexico on
Memorial Day week-end, May 26th.
27th and 28th.
This will be my third National
Indian Tennis Tourney. Last year
it was held in Tahlequah, Okla
homa and the year before it was
held in Areata, California. These
trips were fun and that is what
these tournaments are all about,
meeting fellow Indian tennis play
ers, competing and enjoying the
hospitallity of our hosts.
In last year's tournament there
were about 125 players that com
peted in thirteen different events.
We have tennis players coming
from a wide range of tribes and
states. But we would still like to see
more tribes and more of our Indian
youth participate. So, if you would
print this information in your news
letter, paper or place a copy of our
poster where tribal members will
see it, we would greatly appreciate
it. For more information please
contact: North American Indian
Tennis Association, PO Box 5556,
ATTN: President Lynn Coffin,
Taos, NM 87571 or phone
(505)775-2382.
Thank you very much!
Respectfully,

the fall of 1991, our church will
stand on a path in a new direction.
In 1991, Headstart Latch Key will
be moving into the new Children's
Learning Center. And for the first
time in over 100 years the church
will not be used by the tribes in
some form or fashion. As pastor I
ask that you join me in prayer to
seek the will of Christ as to the
ministry of our church in this new
direction. We will be a church with
a church building to ourselves.
There is another side to change
that the church must also face. For
rent plus utilities for the use of our
building. This is $8,000 of our budget.
This equals 20 percent of our
budget. So what happens? To begin
with the regional church-Presbytery
of the Cascades-is fully aware of
our situation. They will continue to
help us. BUT we must also do our
part. What part?!
In 1989, we had 22 family and
individuals who faithfully supported
the church with money. 22 givers.
This support came to $9,350 in
1989. This is 25 percent of our
$9,350. $6,545 comes to $3 1 a week.
Others gave $2,805. This comes to
$3 a week for the other 18 givers.
Our part of the solution is this, if
you give $2 a week give $4. If $5.
Easter is April 15
Some news for Easter season.

Jesus Christ died for my sins....

Easter Passover Service on the
Thursday called Maundy Thurs
day. At 7 p.m. a very special com
munion service. Everyone is invited.

"Will 1 be able to play the piano when I get well.
The Doc: "Of course you will."
John: Oh good, because I have never played the piano before."

To the Editor:
We would like to extend our
deepest thanks our friends in Warm
Springs for your many kindnes
sess. On February 3rd of this year,
we were invited to participate in
the Memorial Services for Harriett
Williams. It is such an honor, to us
to be included in so sacred a
gathering.
We will always treasure the gifts
you gave us that day, but more
than the gifts themselves, we hold
in our hearts the precious bond we
feel for each of you.
We hesitate to name names for
fear we might leave some dear one
out, but we so wish to thank Silas
and Prunie for their many kindnes
sess. It seems at times, as if they
know when we are feeling low.
Sometimes we don't see them for
long periods ot time, but when we
get down they always seem to come
around and cheer us up. To Art
and Bernice, who have given us
confidence to move forward and
have shown trust in us when others
showed only doubt. To Jimmy and
Neda and Eliza for your warmth
and friendship and to Sylvia, Net
tie and Matilda for your gentle
ways and for always being there,
not only for us but for all your
people. And to all of you who are
there for us, telling us always that
you're glad we're here.
If we have left someone out, we
apologize. You know who you are
and that we love you!!! Thank you
so very much!
