The trend around here lately is
to become the healthiest rcscrva
tion in the country by the year
2000, which is a great thought. It :
is one of the things wc need to
work on.
The main obstacle for this is
Drugs and Alcohol!....By com
bating illnesses such as these, there
is a good chance that wc can
achieve our healthy goal. It's a
slow process and it takes total
commitment by everyone to pitch
in and work toward this goal. It
sounds easy, but try to turn night
into day and sec the
problcms...Practice what you
preach and get to the bottom of
things.
The more people talk against
drugs and alcohol the more people
use them, as though they arc dar- . t..
ing people to make them quit. They use things like cocaine, pills and
weed and all that other stuff that makes a person high. Some sniff gas,
paint and other chcmicals...Isn't it against the law to do things like
this?
We have all kinds of sick people who roam the streets everyday
across the country, even in our own community, but no one wants to
step forward and help them. By the time they realize that a person
needs help, it's too late. It takes total commitment, and often a court
order to get some people into treatment. If that is what it takes, then
people should start thinking about how they can help their kin folks
and not wait until death comes, then start feeling sorry for themselves.
People should do things to help people while there is still a chance and
not depend on anyone else to do it.
There is a lot of work ahead for everyone if we intend to meet our
goal by the year 2000. AHH-NAH-CHI-TOON! ! !
How does a newspaper function? A newspaper plays several roles,
one of which is to let the public know what's happening.
News can bring joy, sadness, but still, it has many other uses. In
today's world, a newspaper has many obstacles to overcome to be
succcsful. Reporters must be aware of all events on his "beat". He must
be aggressive and know what's needed and desired by the readers.
It is impossible to have a successful newspaper when there is
censorship. Publishers and editors stay as far away from people who
try to tell them what they should or should not cover. A newspaper is
a thing of its own and knows what's pleasing to its readers. A
newspaper cannot survive if one person thinks it's not covering events
of his choice. What pleases John Doe doesn't necessarily please
others.
In every community there are several ways for the public to get the
latest happenings. There is the newspaper, radio, TV and even news
letters and shopping bulletins. All these are different entities, each
struggling for survival, each trying to get the news first. A newspaper
should not be answerable to just one person or special interest group.
Whenever all these entities are grouped into one area or looked at as
a unit, thev mieht as well close ud shoD because its purpose is not being
fulfilled : If they have to wait to be told what to cover and what not to
cover, they are not able to compete for news, nor are they able to please
their readers.
Spilyay is doing its darnedest to do just that and has been since its
beginning in 1976-to please the readership and not any one person.
Hopefully, we will continue to do so for a long time to come. NIGH

Pastor Rick offers
To the editor,
All of us at the Presbyterian
Church invite everyone to Easter
Sunday Worship. Easter Sunday is
April 19. Easter Breakfast will be at
9:30 a.m., worship at 1 1 :00 a.m., egg
hunt to follow worship. We ask that
you bring some Eastcreggsand candy
for the hunt. Easter Sunday night at
7:00 p.m. will be a communion ser
vice at the Presbyterian Church.
Some also's I would like to give
my full support of the new Com
modities Program. Many of you know
that the Presbyterian Church operates
the emergency food box program here
in Warm Springs. With the Com
modities Program now in place no
one in Warm Springs will have a
reason to be hungry except for bad
judgment.
Finally, parents don't give up on
your teenage kids. When a child
leaves home the first place they will
go is to a friend or a home of another
family member. In order to stay a
while they must give a reason for
leaving. It is upon this story another
adult will make a choice to give

On March 1 1, 1992 veterans from
the Post Traumatic Stress Treatment
Program at the American Lake Vet
erans Administrative Medical Cen
ter participated in a special commu
nity activity at the Warm Springs
Reservation in Oregon. The evening
was a tribute to veterans and included
a welcome by the Washut Drums at
the Longhouse, a wonderful salmon
bake meal, powwow and giveaway.
The warm spirit that was extended
to our group made a significant
healing impact amongst our group
members who struggle in recovery
from the trauma of war. On behalf of
the staff from the Post Traumatic
Stress Treatment Program at
American Lake, we wish to thank
each and every person who made this
event possible. Your community
pride and commitment to veterans is
an example that other communities
could surely emulate.

Again thank you all for the sup
port Wc were fund raising for mile
age to Albuquerque, New Mexico
for activity bus
To the parents of and The Warm
Springs community,
The activity bus has not been run
ning for a few weeks now due to the
fact that we can not find a qualified
bus driver to make the bus run be
tween Warm Springs and the Madras
schools. It is the responsibility of the
Education Services Program to fill
this need.
Wc need a qualified certified
driver with a Commercial Drivers
License (CDL). Wc arc working on
this matter.
We are asking the parents to bear
with us and perhaps form a"car pool"
message of hope
shelter to your child. A parent must
be willing to love deeply enough to
go and give your side of the story. To
love your child home is at times a
loud heart sharing event But wc must
be willing to even fight ourselves in
order to save our family. The fight in
ourselves comes when the story of
the child to a friend is true. Then wc
mustchoosc when wc can come home
as a parent. Parents don't give up on
your teenage kids. Parents don't give
up on yourselves.
God bless you and keep you close
to him.

Information wanted
To the editor,
We two (Sabine, 20 years, and
Tom, 18, from Switzerland) saw a
report about Warm Springs in the TV
a few days ago. Wc are very interested
in Indians, their culture, life yestcr
day and today, their problems and so
on.
We try to support the Indians in
their fight for their rights. But it is
hard to get good informations. And
so we try to have a lot of contact with
people who are well acquainted with
this topic.
Could you please send us any good
informations or reports about the In
dians at Warm Springs?
We heard also that a man in Warm
Springs prints a newspaper from the
Indians to the Indians. Is it possible
that we can get a subscription to this
newspaper? How many have we to
pay for it?
We thank you very much for your
help and send you our compliments.
