M 1 - ' "SbihtQV Sboalts" Mother-in-law is blessing in life; Thanks! " (T Dear friends in Warm Sprint"!. I am so eratcful to our Futhcr in Thank vouacain to mv dear Q3- The Autumn air is brisk, the dew a little heavier than last week, the leaves show a trace of redness on the edges and the sun seems to set a little sooner now than a month ago. This only means that the nice warm summer days are fading away and the chill of winter is just around the comer. Are you pre pared for the cold winter season? If not, its coming anyway. Just like the fairy talc of the grasshopper and the ants. All summer long the ants were busy going in and out of their ant hill storing supplies for winter. The meantime the grasshopper was having a ball hopping around playing his fiddle. He asks the ants, "Why is it you are so busy you don't enjoy the nice summer days?" The ants said, "We're busy preparing for the cold winter season. The cold weather sets in and the ants are settled in their home underground with all the supplies they need. Outside the grasshopper is freezing trying to find a leaf to eat. How many of us arc like the ants, preparing for those cold winter days? Or, are we like the grasshopper hopping around having a ball without a worry in the world? Well in the olden days it was customary to store fruits and veg etables by canning or freezing. Storing meats and fish, cutting a lot of wood, having enough feed for all the livestock. Today everything is so unpredictable no one knows what's going to happen from one day to the next. Especially with George Bush and Bill Clinton at each others throats trying to get as many people to vote for them. There is one thing for certain and that is if Clinton wins the Presidency there will be a change. If for nothing else it will change from Republican to the Democratic party. Bush has the upper hand on Clinton, because he has been through this before and knows he can make all his promises more convincing. Most of what he has said had been said during his last campaign speeches even though they were all rorgotten wncn ne was elected. Now he is worried over the unem ployed across the country. Probably because his job is up for grabs in November. A lot of the issues of American people face today were his top priorities before the last election. He speaks of cutting on taxes, depending on spending cuts of Congress. There is always that little ripple he can hide behind to make his statements sound convincing. This is the second time around for Bush and its a bit scary. What will people promise just to get the votes. There are so many problems in the nation today and each candidate cleverly makes statements on how to handle things. The economy, the veterans administration, employ ment, the homeless. They speak of how they will help the Blacks, Hispanics, Jews and other nationalities but not once have I heard anyone of them mention the Native Americans. I've said this before, that the only time the whites notice the Indian race is when they go out to exercise their rights by off reservation fishing and hunting. They raise all kinds of stink saying the Indians are breaking the law. There are so many that need to be educated about the treaties and how dear we cling to those rights. Ahh-Nah-Chi-Toon. Dear friends in Warm Springs, I would like to give a very special thank you to those who bought foods from my mother-in-law, Shirley Chamcma Smith.

YIKES SS SS SS Happy Birthdaxj,Mom Love, Marsha 4 Family Services. My youngest of six children was over 12 months of age and I was asked to seek employment. (Personally, I felt I was getting no where fast but actually it was a step toward my "wellness".) The next challenge was getting myself em ployedwith the typical description of: "no job experience, little training in any major field and I didn't finish college." Chcle Paye was the first person who extended her hand to assist me. Through the combined efforts of three local programs, JTPA, Employee Development and COCC, I was able to successfully complete secretarial training. It was set up for ten students and I was the llth...I got in by the skin of my teeth. Margie (or Bonnie) Tuckta, gave me a job interview, even when she was in need of full time help! She allowed me toconunue my secretarial classes and work half a day at Public Utilities. Being an "on the job trainee", she has the pleasure of teaching me. She has been very pa tient and very helpful, correcting my efforts in tasks given to me. (Her children are very lucky to have her presence with them she's a fine woman and a good-hearted person!) She has been very encouraging and supportive of my joining the Con federated Tribes work force. The above story" is not the "sum" of my life. On top of all the new changes, I've also been dealing with court summons, working with legal aide, victim's assistance, AFS-child care (while I work and each of their individual school program needs (I haven't resigned from being a "Mommy"), going to community counseling and women's support group meetings help me vent my frustration and identify my own personal needs. I 'm working on my "weak" points, in hopes of improving my quality of life here on our reservation. I'm an enrolled member, I want to live here.
