Certificates were presented by three fifth grade teachers who were: Ms. Earlcnc Anderson, Mrs. Kathy Bishop and Harry Phillips. The D.A.RJE. awards were presented by Sgt.

Each child presented hisher parents with a rose after the ceremonies in appreciation of all the help from their parents during these past five years of school. A goal was set here, 70 students received certificates today, go on to higher levels of school and the 70 students graduate from high school within the next 7 years.

The sale of poppies was until May 30ih and hope that all wore them on that day to honor our vctcrans...lhose who gave their lives and those who arc with us and still carry the scars in memory. A report of available cash was reported. And accordingly, we need donations of raffle items. The trailer needs to be set up for selling of pop. Judy Kalama-King has volunteered again to run the stand for us. We need donated food for the working crew....chili, stew, "lug", salmon and dumplings, salads, etc. On May 14th, we purchased a gas stove from the Redmond Post at a cost of $650. This has depleted our funds and the fast approaching Pi-Umc-Sha and the condemning of our trailer stove and four tanks have pushed our Post Auxiliary to the wall. Many things have to be accomplished to restore and cover our purchases for the Veterans Hall. Our last meeting as Commander and President was on the 26th of May. I thank all those who helped us. And, good luck to Raymond and Geneva and their officers for a suc cessful year ahead." Kindergarten students sang their "a-b-cs" during graduation ceremonies at Warm Springs Elementary May 29.

The screenings were a big success New Home-Base Program to begin September 1,1992 A new program is being intro duced, to Warm Springs Head Start, called the Home-Base Program. The basic goal of Home-Base is to bring Head Start Program activities to reservation homes for parent guardians of 3-year-olds. The Home-Base Program will fo cus primarily on enhancing positive and frequent parent-child interaction. The Home-Base visitor is Margie Earl-Kalama. Margie will work with Head Start staff to pick up daily training activities and teaching techniques. The methods will then be passed on to the parentguardians of 3-year-olds in their own home. These skills will help the parent guardian plan home activities and natural training interaction with their child(ren). The Home-Base Program is slated to begin September 1, 1992 (our 1st year!) We are looking forward to addressing the developmental goals of our community. Recruitment ef forts are beginning.. .give Margie a call at 553-3241 for more information. Catch your child doing something good We all know how important it is for our children to feel loved and cared for if they're going to be suc cessful at school and later in the workplace. But in the day-to-day rush of raising children, we forget to tell them every day how wonderful we know they are. Even when our children are showing behaviors that are hard to deal with, there are ways to turn that around. Here's how: each day, find one thing your child is doing that you like, even if it's a little thing. Then tell him or her with words as well as with a hug. For example: "Wow! You put on your shoes when I asked you, that's great!" (Then give a hug.) The more times you "catch" your child doing something good each day and say it, the more those positive actions will multiply! V if' v ' P 'p:. S . w I Lli.,l,rrri, . t ,...,, , tihhm ...

In an tJt Ur report Agent Smith recommended to the Commissioner cy' Indian aIJ drs that the President establish two rights-of-way through the Ratrwlon. In his Utter of February 7, J4S2, Smith again to)' up thM topic and describes the existing roads on the Reservation. Warm Springs February V 2 , Sir I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt some time since of your Utter of inquiry dated June 6' I&SI, 'L'4875-ISS1, relating to the two wagon roads, which In my letter of February 25 1881 I asled might have the provisions of Ankle 9 of the trecry ofjun 25 1855, extended to, which was that the Confederated Tribes agreed 'Tutt whensoever In the opinion of the President of the United Statu, the public Interest may require it, that all roads, highways and railroads shall have the right of way through the res nation herein designated, or which may at any time hereafter be set apart as a reservation for said Indians'. I hae delayed answering your enquiries as to the character of the roads, whether State, Territorial, County or private roads and by whet authority constructed and ffffft principally for the reason that I ?t?t??tf?t might have some definite data, to furnish you. As I can find no ycord on file In regard to either of the roads spoken of, I can only give you their past history and an outline of the routes taken. As no plat of the surveys on this reservation Is on file In my office, and but few points are certainly known, the rude plat herewith transmitted may not be exactly correct, but I deem it sufficiently so, to give you a very good Idea of general direction and distance of each road. I 'he road to The Dalles Oregon This commences at the crossing cf the DeChutes River in Sec 30 Township 9 S Range 13 E. Thence northwest to this Agency, thence northerly to, and crossing the Warm Springs river, and thence northerly to the reservation line, near the Section lines between 20 and 21 Tsp 6 S R 12 E. Distance from Agency about 24 miles, end from crossing of the DeChutes River about 26 miles. This road lias wholh been constructed by Indian labor for the use of the Indian and Department teams in hauling supplies from The Dalles and from PrineviUe, where the Indians often go to trade. This road is traveled by the US Mail line and is usually known as The Dalles and PrinevilU stage road. It Is often necessarily traveled by white persons in passing from settlements east of the DeChutes and this reservation, to point t to the north; as Oak Grove, Tygh Valley, and The Dalles, and the reverse coming frort them and going to PrinevilU and other places. The Indians are expecting to put consider alU work on this road the coming summer, hence it ought to be permanently located. 2' The road towards Portland This commences at the same point in the DeChutes river, as the first mentioned, thence to this Agency in a westerly direction and keeps the same to Mill creek, when It runs northerly to the reservation line about 3 miles beyond the crossing of Beaver creek. Dhtance from Agency about 30 miles, and from crossing of the DeChutes about 32 miks. This road as far as constructed has been built by Indian labor, for the purpose of hauling lumber from the reservation saw mill on Milt Creek, to the various Indian settlements, and this Agency. It Is passabU for wagons, for only about 19 miles. H.ts been traveled its entire distance mainly by drovers and persons going on horse back, to Portland and other points In the northern part of the Willamette ValUy. It has bee i traveled by teams, but Is now obstructed by fatten timber, btf would not cost much to open it and the Indians would gladly perform the labor, as they could then quite easily go to Portland to trade, and once in a whiU to Forest Grove to see their children in the Training school and white sett Urs find it the stiortest and f opened the best route in going to, and returning from Portland; at points east of the DeChutes and this Agency. The road is usually known as the Warm Springs at J Portland road. I trust that I have sufficiently explained the nature, and need, of the above roads so as to warrant the issuance of an Executive order granting tht right of way. As the country settles up there will be more and more need of crossing this reservation by white people. The more civilized of my Indians are anxious to induce travel to come this way, as it gives them a good market for their various field and garden products, and stimulates them to greater efforts. Hoping tliat favorabU action may soon be taken The Commissioner of Indian Affairs Washington D.C. I remain Very Respectfully Your Obt Servt US Indian Agent Dedication ceremonies set for June 24 The dedication ceremony for the new Early Childhood Education Cen ter is set for Wednesday, June 24th from 1 1 a.m. - 6 p.m. The festivities will feature speeches, a 12:30 ribbon cutting ceremony, afternoon tours of the new facility, a parent club silent auction, a 1 p.m. dinner at the Longhouse and other special events and commemorative jtcms.
