Celebration of freedom seemed to fill the air on the fourth of July as streets were lined with specta tors all across the country, waiting for the big parade to pass in their towns. There were all sorts of parades honoring the special day. There were several versions of celebrations. Some referred to it as Welcome Home Persian Gulf troops, the day observed as usual, the Declaration of Independance. Color guard for the Confeder ated Tribes of Warm Springs Representatives were the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Willie Yubeta, Harry Miller, Marvin Ike, Nelson Wallulatum, Kirby Heath and Keith Moody. Following on a float was Wayne Miller who just re- turned from the Persian Gulf area. Other members of the VFW, the Chiefs and some Council members and Miss Warm Springs, Nicole Yaw were present. Down Broadway in Portland, Oregon, the parade featured the Veterans of all Wars. The Grand Marshall was a 91-year-old WWI Veteran. As the drums sounded and the marching band struck up the tune "Caisons Rolling Along," all units stood sharp and ready lor the parade to start. Veterans from WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf wars, were ready for the parade to begin, stood proud and fast. This was a time that all veterans gathered to celebrate the freedom of our nation today. It was great to see Veterans of all wars and of all branches of service grouped together. There wasn't anyone who felt they needed anymore attention than the other because this is what it is all about. Our Freedom. During each war all men served their country and got the job done. There were some parades after the wars, especially WWII. But there were no bands a playing or the streets lined when the Korean war ended. There was no parades after the Vietnam war. But the guys stuck together and did what they had to do while in service of their country. This 4th of July parade had many Vets with a little lump in their throats but yet they were , ' .

The session will be held in the from 9:30 a.m. to noon. Public hearing dates announced Public hearings on the draft Des chutes River Management Plan have been rescheduled. This an nouncement supersedes all previ ous schedules. Each hearing will begin at 7:00 p.m. Members of the Policy Group and agency staff will be available to answer questions about the draft plan for one hour immediately preceding the hear ing. Due to the number of people expected to testify at these hear ings, questions about the draft plan cannot be answered after 7:00 p.m. The public comment period has been extended to October 15, 1991. Public input will be analyzed by an independent consultant, and the analysis used as the Policy Group develops the final plan. The draft preferred alternative is based on the best information presently available. The final plan may in corporate parts of the other alter natives on a "mix and match" basis. To help us in developing the final plan, please tell us specifically what you like and dislike about the preferred alternative, why you like or dislike it, and how you would change it. The more specific your comments are the more helpful they will be. The split hearing schedule is in tended to accommodate the needs of those whose summer schedules have already been set as well as to meet the Policy Group's need to have the comment analysis com plete this fall in order to finalize the plan in time for the 1992 summer season.

Input gathered will help shape the 1992 budget. At the June 25 session, the second of three held in June, tribal CEO Ken Smith said what most people consider to be problems, he con siders to be "challenges... .We have many challenges ahead of us." Smith encouraged participation, as "we need new thoughts and ideas on how we're going to get to the future." Smith sited numerous statistics relating to the health and well-being of community members. "Approximately 75 percent of our people die before they reach the age of 65. "Twenty-five percent of Oregon's population dies after the age of 65. Among the 42 tribes in the North west, Warm Springs has the high est number of hospital admissions and the highest health care costs per patient. There is a 36 percent dropout rate among Indian students in high school and the SAT scores among Indian students are the lowest in the 509-J school district. "These statistics are unaccepta ble to us.. ..It's not dooms' day there are a lot of good programs here," Smith commented. However, Smith added, the "organization is not the answer to all our problems. The community has to get involved. ....Some people are not taking re sponsibility for their misjudgments and unwise decisions." The real question now is how to best appropriate and plan for not only 1992, but the future as well. Priorities must be set. Some suggestions mentioned at the June 25 session included estab lishing an aftercare center for ado lescents who have completed drug Continued on page 2 Management session set If you would like a copy of the draft plan, or have any other ques tions, call or write: Jacque Green leaf.
