PAGE 4 November 23, 1993 Warm Springs, Oregon SpilyayTymoo Editorial E Coosh EEWA: (The way it is) Letters to the Editor 0 S4 The Tribal Organization has really grown here in the past couple of decades and all the tribal offices arc over crowded. Every one is always looking for more office space. It seems like the more we build the more we need. When one office is vacated it al ways stirs up quite a commotion among all the department heads with everyone trying to outdo the other in getting the space. rep! things have really changed since the "Olden Days, like every time there is office space available everyone is hassling each other trying to get more space. There was once a time when the entire Tnbal Office was situated in building, so you can sec how much have several Branches which spread out into many departments That's why whenever there is a around in a mad scramble to get I There was a new Administration was to house the tribal organization, but when all the space was assigned out many Branches were nave many oranencs witn omccs spread all over the place in different areas or buildings when they should all be in the same area. Yep! every time there is new oilice space Supervisors and Department heads arc always bickering over the space, and it usually ends up that the one who really should have gotten it When the old Administration took over most of the offices, but own 01 1 ices built up at the Industrial Park area, so did the Roads Department. Now the Natural Resources and Tribal Court take up all the space and forced the Spilyay Tymoo out of the building there and guess where they moved the Spilyay Tymoo. Spilyay Tymoo was placed in the basement of the old girls dorm, a space where no one else would have nothing to do with. It was old, dirty and with a moldy smell which still lingers throughout the offices. When it really rains we arc Hooded out most of the time. Yep! where many people don't even know with management out I guess they They probably thought. It's only Spilyay, so let's put them down in the basement. Yep! We've been put here and there at will, to places where no other department wanted and without any discussion, they just say, you win DC moving to that location. Today they put Spilyay Tymoo you ask me I think Spilyay Tymoo where it won t bother any one or I still feel Spilyay Tymoo is a thing with Spilyay I ymoo arc KWSO, the And we as a Branch should have a branches together. We need a good central location the community and the Tnbal Membership. A good location would be just at the top ol the hill on highway bet since I mention this location everyone else will want the same site And if that's not feasible than another good location would be along the EastTcnino street overlooking lor the entire Branch and keep other them Apples " Ann-NAnn-Chi-Toon! !! Reservation Nice I like our reservation because it seems quiet and peaceful to live in. Some people say, we have a beautiful place to live, away from all the rush, rush, of the city life. It is a beautiful place to live as long as you don t go to certain places around here. It really is pathetic how people drive out in the country where the land is beautiful, the roadways are some people who take their trash and Litter scattered all over the place. Why don't they just haul their trash to the landfill which is much closer their trash. Makes people wonder what could do things like this. Maybe they are used to living in places like this and want the rest of the reservation to look the same. Yep! It would be much much more closer if they just instead of cluttenng up our roadways tion. If people had any pride at all beautiful place to live, "wouldn't it?" TOE NESS Living in the city, living is getting so bad that people figure, Mugging into their budgets Yikes SS SS A by-stander watching a construction crew, said, I see you are putting up a new building? The Crew foreman: "It s the company policy, We never put up and bid one! YIKES SS SS EDITOR'S NOTE Spilyay Tymoo welcomes articles and letters from it's readers.

SS SS Powwow committee extends appreciation for help To our people, The Veterans Day Powwow Committee would like to lake this time to give special thanks to all the Veterans, Tribal Council. Ken Smiih, Dora Sahmc, Luana Macy, Warm Springs Public Safely, McGruff, Fireman Bob, Sparky, and our spon sors for your support to make the 4ih Annual Veterans a success. The committee thanks all the par ticipants and spectators that came to the powwow which witnessed with us, the talent, strength and beauty that was displayed during the Men's All Around and powwow. The com Take responsibility for your To the editor, Lately it seems I'm always hear ing of someone else passing on. My heart aches, my prayers and thoughts go out to the ones left behind. Time after time people tend to stand up to share a few words of comfort for the family. The key phrase that never fails to come out goes something like this: ..."we never gather ourselves together until something like this happens." Please note! Not only arc these words not up lifting to those already in pain! Our heavenly creator commands that we f ;athcr ourselves together, to be up ifling and love one another. Our reservation is steadily striv ing towards our tribes healthiness, theme being: "The healthiest com munity by the year 2000" I hear a lot of snickering, ill jokes and a trove of negative comments over this and I agree, realistically it s unattain able. Say, like by the year "twenty thousand and something plus how ever long it's going take" would be a little more "con-vincing." What I'd like to share is this: Just going through the motions of life by woodenly bumping into each other on occasion, coupled witn not ac tively attaining sincerity in focusing on other's doesn't help! What would help? Good question. I've been ask ing myself that for the longest time and now here's my thoughts I can offer you today but later on as I grow into my own wellness, I may be Sha-Kon-Ah open To the editor, We at Sha-Kon-Ah Autobody would like to extend an open invita tion to you the people of Warm Springs & abroad, to come see us about your autobody needs.

Our love and respect goes to his beloved widow, Luana Macy. Also in special recognition toNcda Wesley, Liza Brown, Alex and Phyllis Tohct, Harvey Anne Tohct, Robert and Marc I la Sam. We also thank those community service workers that helped make the kitchen run smoothly. The committee also would like to thank 1992-1993 Veterans Day able to add on or even say "No, I was wrong," then retract it. My entire existence consisted of my six children, our home, my hus bands job and that was it. I didn't c ven inc lude my self , in any way shape or form. Before and even after my marriage, I faithfully kept my motto of, "Go along, to get along. In this "victim role" life failed to be any good, it just kept spiraling down ward into a cold dark muck! Feeling like a worn out door mat with the same old problems troppcling upon me I started un raveling and falling apart! At limes I felt like I was going crazy and very much un-lovcd. So I sat out for prayer, got prayed over and also cried out for help. I had isolated myself to the point of not having any close friends, no strong bonds to feel close to my extended family members, cause I didn't want to burden anybody with my life's ills. I had no co-workers for support, I wasn't employed and I felt over whelmed with bill collectors want ing to be paid off all at once! On and " on it went. There wasn't any let up, and it never will, but we don't have to go it, feeling all alone. So, here I am with just the bear threads of my life, praying, crying out my anguish wanting help and through prayer I was shown our In dian people traditionally dressed gathering together, smiling, visiting, singing, dancing and just being there Happy belated Birthday Sheilah November 2nd From, Selena Happy Birthday to: niece Maureen Foster November 1 nephew D.

We look forward to working with all of you. The committee also (hanks the Hatficlds Department Store for giv ing our people discounts for Pendleton Blankets and Shawls to families who wanted to recognize their family Veterans. In addition. Chubby Robinson and Allison own actions with one another. We were created to be "social." We have a deep need to be with one another. To share a good laugh, a meal, even a few moments for a warm hug, a pat on the back, a smile or a kind word in passing. . . a little love. Even though this was shown to me I felt incapable of fulfilling this tall order in my state of un healthiness. Today I'm carefully taking steps to wards working on my wellness, by "reaching out to others. People! We've enough programs to get us up and going, but we've just got to feel important enough to our selves to utilize them. All I'm asking is take responsibil ity of your own actions and use your common sense of "basic needs." Exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, get plenty of rest, learn how to relax (I have to learn). Socialize in a wholesome way go to a place of worship of your choice, try going to Community Counseling. Seek out support groups, ask Family Preser vation, "What programs are there?" I heard ECE has the best packet form of information. "Caring for yourself is being your own best friend." Easier said than done, right? Right, but I am trying and I hope you will too. That's about all I have to share for now, and if you're still reading, I thank with all my heart, until next Ume, Bye.
