PAGE 4 July 26, 1991 Warm Springs, Oregon Spilyay Tymoo Editorial E Coosfa EEWA: (The way it is) Letters to the Editor to i Speak" Take time to update patient care registration m W W t k. ihnf we mav nrevent deiavi in nv informalinn This rnnlrt rrsnlt in vicitt With temperatures soaring into the high 90s and 1 00s, peo ple are taking to the lakes and streams trying to find a good Flacc to jump into the water, t's good to have weather like this, makes it seem like summer. Like that song goes "summer time when the living is easy." Makes a person want to find ny kind of an excuse not to go to work. Almost as good as "Powwows," Aye!! But in order to make the wheels turn we must go to work if we like it or not. Many people go on vacations during times like this, with ideal traveling weather and fun to be out of doors. All the tourist towns having a peak period of the year as travelers stop for meals and stuff. Now its trying to find a cool comfortable place. For a while everyone was trying to find a warm spot after that long cold spell we've had. All during those cold days the general talk was, "When will we ever get some good warm weather?" Well it finally happened and now the talk is, "Oh! this miserable heat!" There are people that are not satisfied with any kind of weather, they are always complaining. One thing for certain now that we are enjoying some nice warm days the hay fields look like they are ready to be cut and you know what that means, everytime people cut their hay it rains. Hay must be dry to be baled, or it spoils. With the warm weather here perks up the fire danger all over the country. The grasslands arc real dry and can become a pretty hot fire in no time at all. With the rains we've had this year the grass is pretty tall in places which makes it all the more dangerous. So everyone better be careful with fire and in some paces if "Smokey the Bear catches you smoking he will crush your Butt." . . , ..-. v m The County fairs are starting up all around the country. Right now the Multnomah County Fair. Also in full swing is the Jeffer son County fair. This years fair will feature all the exhibits, the fun rides, and the rodeo. This year the rodeo is PRCA, and their is no admission to the rodeo after paying general entry to the fair grounds. Well let's see, next there will be the Deschutes County fair which is held in Redmond each year, they will have a big fun center and all that stuff that goes along with a. county fair. Of course there will be the Huckleberry feast, Yummmm, that will be coming up real soon. This is usually held in HeHe Mill. That's where all the "Mud Wrestlers gather." A fun rodeo with something for everyone. There is always fun things to do there with all kinds of contests for all young and old. The rodeo is mostly for the kids, where they all have fun with wild colt race, cow riding 'N' stuff. This is a place where a kid can find out if he likes to rodeo or not, and many guys got their start at places like this. And at night everyone goes to the longhouse and do some fancy dancing and sneak-up dancing, maybe practicing teepee creeping, Aye! There are all sorts of fun things to do.
