Spilyay Tymoo PACK 4 May 1,1992 Warm Springs. Oregon Editorial E Coosh EEWA: (The way it is) Letters to the Editor "SpifiM .0 A very hot and dry summcrcan be expected this year because of the lack of snow fall during this past winter. Even in the higher elevations the snow pack is far below normal at this time of the year. Willi out snow during the winter time many streams and springs will go dry real soon. Even at the present time there arc prominent springs that have dried uplast summcrand haven't started to flow at all this year from the lack of snow. So you can sec how important snow fall is each win ter, and it not only effects the winter sports and recreation but the farming and agriculture as well and even the town watcrsupply as well. The lack of water will create a high fire danger because every thing will be drying up real soon. Caution will be a must while out in the woods this summcr...So smokers you'd better watch your"BUTTS." Work has resumed once again on the Tcnino cut-off. That's one of the smartest things someone has done in planning that route. When that is complete it will really take off a lot of pressure of traffic congestion around the Post Office and store area. There won t be anymore logging trucks passing through the shopping area like it is at the present time. Its no wonder that there hasn't been any tcrnble accidents with all that traffic in that area, especially at work time and quitting time. The traffic gets so heavy at times its frustrating. Just when a person is in a hurry there is always a lot of backup of traffic m that-area. The tourist season is once again upon us and that increases the traffic within the reservation. Even with this new added access to the qommunity there still needs to be more ways to get into the area. Th'rs" is one of the most mixed up communities as far as streets are concerned. There arc hardly any four corner intersections. All the place streets run every direction, or every which way but loose. AHH-NAH-Chi-TOON!! K ?

Thousands of people suffer long-term disabili ties - some die - because they thought they didn't need to wear their seat belts on a short trip to run a Quick errand Sure, most people wear seat belts on long trips, on freeways, or in bad wea;her But you're most likely to get into a crash when you least expect it onafamiha' road, in decent weather, close to home. Getting a ticket is a nuisance, but it s a smali price to pay if it gets you to use your seat belt on every trip1 Remember, most states have a seat belt law, and an states have a child oassenge' sa'etv law Whe'eve' you dnve this summer, please Buckle Up no prejudice in life i i j L. ,i nmt nirnl fill (nmenne etui or did.

Over the years my list of families that came once a month for a box of food stood at 230 families of Warm Springs Now, Warm Springs has its own commodities program. I went up to the food warehouse and took a took at it. I looked at the sample box of food for one person. I wrote down all of the items in the box and went to Macy's Market to write down the value of the food from the store. What I found was if you bought the food in the box from the store it would cost you $ 1 20.00. That is a lot of food for one person. Now, I have been told that the average food stamp amount for a family of five is $300.00 a month. If this family took the food from the commodities program they VFW grill, tanks condemned Dear VFW friends and family, Recently the propane grill and two tanks in the VFW concession trailer have been condemned as too danger- Juan Manuel Lame Bear April 26 To my son.

Wc wouldn't be mistreated or abused by any other group of people. Olivia Kirk would be getting $600.00 worth of food retail a monin. A two lor one difference tells me the best buy is the commodities. I know a lot of people like the stamps, but for some having com modities will remove the temptation that stamps bring in sell them for money. This brings back some honor to their name. As Pastor I support this program not only with these words; The paper and soap goods we would get at the church on occasion will now be given out at the com modities program (first come, first served). Finally I ask that you be patient with the people who run the program. John, Patty, and Joel are doing their best to help everyone. They have their rules to follow, but they will go as far as they can without breaking the law to help you. Reverend Rick Ribeiro ous. They had been repaired too many times, and now have gone beyond anyone's help. We have asked around about a used replacement, or the cost of a new grill. Regardless of which option we choose, we must find some way of earning the money to open the trailer by Pi-Ume-Sha. As we all know, that weekend provides a large part of our VFW treasury for every year. I had planned on opening the VFW trailer as soon as the weather im proved, throughout Pi-Ume-Sha and the summer including Huckleberry Feast. Big plans brought to a halt with the dangerous grill. We could try raffles, bingo, or rummage sales, but I will need some help. If we all get together, young and old, we can meet this challenge with a smile. If anyone has any sug gestions or would like to volunteer to help or donate, let me know as soon as possible. Raffle or bingo prizes, rummage treasures, or simply your help would be appreciated. We don't have much time! Come to the next meeting, catch me around Springs, write Box 805, or leave a message.
