E Coosh EEWA: The way it is
Letters to the Editor
"Spilyay Speaks"
There are times and events that
linger in the minds of individuals for
ever. Some very important events
that took place many years ago. Just
like on June 6, 1944, When the Al
lied forces made that historic landing
on the Normandy beech head on the
southern part of France, where the
Allied forces became the aggressors
and on the way of ending the war in
Europe.
How many people can remember
those dark and frightful days of World
War II. There are many untold sto
riesofthathorribleevcntwhichmadc a major move to end the war in
Europe. As the World Warm lin
gered on as the allied forces fought
their way up the Italian main land in
a slow battle with the Germans. Those
days were hard on everyone even on the home front. The days of gas
rationing, food stamps, people working in war plants and ship yards.
Everything going toward the defense and War Department. How far can a
person get on 4 gallons of gas per week. That's what everyone was allowed
in those days. Gas stamps, food stamps, meat stamps. Everyone was
allowed just a certain amount of things and the rest was going toward the
Military Forces.
It is now referred to by many as, "The Big one," "WW II." and so on.
: Yep! with everything in a limited supply things were pretty scarce around
here. The A gas stamp was for the regular resident, there were special
stamps for commercial vehicles, and the Farmers were allowed more to
farm their land as everything was needed by the Military. In those days
people didn't go very faraway from home, especially here in Warm Springs
as we are sort of Isolated in the mountains had qui te a distance to go get food
supplies in Madras, and with just 4 gallons of gas it was quite a chore.
After the big depression jobs sprang up all across the country during the
war. In the shipyards in Portland people were hauling in the cash, especially
if he was a welder. But the jobs sprang up in everything because of the war..
Today kids read about the "The Big One." in history books and never
give it much thought because they never had to experience those dreadful
days, like b bad nightmare. With the fighting going on in Europe. That long
road to victory all began in North Africa where
auiea rorces started tne Dig pusn on tne oncnsive for the first time since
the war started and the Germans were making theirmove on the world. Here
on the home front all the men were being drafted into the service leaving
just the young boys and old fellers to run the show.
Yep! There was a war in Europe and a war in the Pacific, and it was
frightening with fighting going on both sides of us. The Japanese Empire
decided to join the Germans and go on a rampage in the Pacific, taking
Island after Island scaring the wits out of everyone. Especially when they
made that sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941, which
caused the United States to enter the War. The fall of the Philippines, and
the death march from Bataan. It was real scary of how the Prisoners were
treated and how they must have suffered during the war.
All during these times the United States must have been preparing for
thatbig move and training men for that great Historical event of the invation
of Normandy. Warm Springs and all the cities were almost ghost towna
with all the men away in the service, and many families moved to the city
to work in the war plants and shipyards. But there were still a few around
that had beef cattle and stufflike that, because the meat situation was critical
and meat was rationed all over.
Yep! D Day was a big event that shortened the war in Europe where
many lives were lost Today there are just a few men left who have really
experienced those dreadful days and some are having a reunion to com
memorate those days of the past, and to remember all those who gave their
lives in the battles there. Yeplltwill be something forall those men to return
to that are where there will be some hard feelings of the past and we hope
we will never have to face what they have gone through. "NIGH"

There was this not-so-bright guy who went to a traveling agent and
said, "I'd like a round trip ticket please."
The Agent, "Where to?"
"Why, back here of course." YIKES

Family expresses gratitude for help during crisis
To the editor,
Thank you for the support! We,
the family of Joe Boise wish to
express our sincere gratitude to those
that were on duty on April 9, 1994,
the night our son was involved in a
car accident. To the EMT's, for their
quick response and their ability to
retrieve our son from the wreckage
and able to get him transported thru
the A irLi fc to the S t. Charles Hospi ml.
To the doctor and the nurses; for their
knowledge and expertise to respond
to the immcdiatccarc our son required
during his critical time. To the
therapists that helped Joe thru his
rehabilitation.
Thank you for all the prayers; for
we know there were many. We truly
believe these prayers were answered
and our son was given a second
chance. Our son was in critical
condition, in a coma with a head
injury. The prayers and his own self
determination helped him to recover
& recuperate rapidly.
A special thank you toour mothers,
Norcne Greene and Irene Towe, also
to Joe's Great Grandmother, Gladys
Thompson. They stayed with us
throughout the duress and gave us
support unselfishly, even when they
were hurting. Also to Gubba & Uncle
AG for their words of encouragement
before Joe left the hospital. To each
and everyone that kept us in prayer;
to all that visited or called for Joe.
Another very special thank you to
family and friends that stepped
forward and offered their homes to
our children at home. Marcia
Minthorn for keeping the girls and
sending them to school. To Alice
Wycna, who was able to keep Trevor
& Triston. To Vicki and Leo Hcllon
for keeping Aswon. This was a great
help and cased the stress, knowing
our children were well cared for while
we were with our son.
To the Warm Springs Fish
Hatchery, the co-workers who called
and gave Randy support. Letting him
know he was not to worry about work,
for covering in his absence. And to
his supervisor, Steve, who made a
personal visit and offered his support.
Joe is now home and has follow
up appointments. Due to the head
injury, he will be on dilantin for a
short period. The dilantin is to prevent
seizures andor convulsions & he is
required to take his medication
nightly. His medication docs not mix
with alcohol. A special thank you to
those who arc his true friends and
realize the importance of Joe's health
and help Joe make the right choices
regarding alcohol. We appreciate the
words of encouragement you may
have for Joe.
We arc planning a dinner for
family and friends who were there
offering their support & to come sec
how well our son is doing. We will let
you know when & where.
Birncy and Randy Boise, parents
Jolcnc, Irene, Dcsirac & Jodcnc,

Jackson questions Indian gaming
To the editor,
Las Vegas, NV-Indian Gaming
In early March, 1994, 1 was, by
Tribal Council, invited to attend a
Seminar on Indian Gaming in Las
Vegas, NV.
I think Tribal Member people
should read the report I brought back
to Council. This is an informational
report only.
Thanks for supporting WSCP
To the editor,
First of all, the employees of Warm
Springs Composite Products would
like to express our gratitude to the
Tribal Members of Warm Springs.
We are especially grateful to the 640
Tribal Members who took a few
minutes to cast their votes at the
Community Center or by absentee
ballots.
In addition, I would like to thank
the following people who showed
tremendous support to the
establishment of W.S.C.P.: Ken
Smith, Secretary-Treasurer; Dennis
Karnopp, Tribal Attorney; Members
of Tribal Council; Nat Shaw, Public
Relations; Mike Villalobos & Sue
Ryan, KWSORadio; Charles Jackson
& Bobby Macy, Bus. & Econ. Dev.;
Donna Bchrend, SpilyayTymoo; Joe
& Dallas, Tribal Printshop; Madeline
Queahpama, Vital Statistics and all
the family and friends of WSCP
employees.
I would like to give a special thank
you to our secretary, Monica for her
extensive help preparing the
presentation material. Monica did an
outstanding job of orchestrating,
organizing and communicating the
WSCP education program with other
tribal departments. An extended
thanks to Susan Moody and other
Tribal members who dedicated their
time and energy to promote our
company.
I have stated many times leading
up to the WSCP referendum on May
17, this company has enormous
potential. My beliefs and feelings
have not changed. The
manufacturing of an environmentally
safe and world class product, and
most importandy, the creation of
family wage jobs for Tribal Members
MIT's.
Terry Turner, Phil Rodda, George
Cornwall, Frank Smith and myself
will do our absolute best to keep the
momentum going. We have a special
hard-working crew at WSCP. Their
work and commitment will enhance
our capabilities and chances to
become a successful, world class
manufacturing facility.
On behalf of the WSCP
employees, thank you Tribal
Members for your overwhelming
support of Warm Springs Composite
Products.
Sincerely,
Tony Stacona

The individual making this report
is Max Jackson. I assumed, when I
was selected to go on the two-day
seminar in Las Vegas, it would be to
report back, first things first.
If Council and the people decide
to operate a gaming enterprise on the
Warm Springs Reservation, we have
an inhouse population of at least one
million six hundred thousand
(1,600,000). By inhouse I mean they
could come to the establishment by
day and go home the same night.
This is in the Central Oregon area,
including The Dalles area and the
Portland Metropolitan area.
There are management and
financial terms associated with the
Indian Gaming world out there. 'The
cost in dollars could be at no cost to
the Tribes", ever hear that before? I
heard of one gaming team offering 1
We're proud of you
To the editor,
Tony Stacona, we would like for
you to know that we are very proud of
all the accomplishments you have
successfully completed: graduating
from Madras Senior High School,
Lewis & Clark College Durango,
Colorado (4 years).
We would especially like you to
know that we're glad the Tectonite
(D.E.) Project that you have
aspiringly worked exceptionally hard
on (Public Relations) to have
referendum brought to tribal voters,
was passed on May 17, 1994.
It's people like you, we need more
of who's first thoughts are of the
people and not just yourself. Keep up
the good work and again
CONGRATULATIONS on all of the
accomplishments you have
completed.
Love,
Kennedy Smith & Edna, Alex

million up front money to be that
Tribes management team, I never
checked this out.
Internal Controls by the State and
Tribe's would have to be worked out.
I don't think the financial and
management teams would tangle with
this one.
The State and Tribe's would be
assisted by the Indian national
Gaming Commission.Thcre arc many
factors to consider.
An example of a successful Indian
Gaming State would be Minnesota.
Revenues generated in 1991 by Indian
Gaming was 900 million-how much
in 1993 figures were not available at
this session.
Unlike manufacturing, Indian
gaming raw materials are always
there-honesty and productivity.
Sincerely,
Max Jackson
