Yep! This June 6, 1994, marks the 50th anniversary of the Great
Normandy Landing, on June 6, 1944, that put a cap on the World War
II, so to speak.
A half a Century ago men invaded the shores at Normandy as men
came by land, sea and air. Many, many young boys at that time gave
up their lives and never knew what life was all about as they fell in
battle. Now 50 years later many Veterans have returned to the site to
pay tribute to all their buddies who died in battle and never came
home. It was a hard situation for many to speak for their friends who
died during that time of the war. a time that turned the tables of the war
and made a faster ending of that horrible war.
As the big event got under way men storming he beaches there were
Paratroopers who were being dropped behind the lines to cut off the
Germans and supplies which played an important part of the whole
operation. There were many Paratroopers who never came back alive,
and some were killed before they hit the ground.
How horrible it must have been for all those young men to give up
their lives for the rest of the world to go free. I can only imagine how
it must have been in those dark dreary days of the World War II.
Today all the young folks only read in history books of the World
War II, and never give it any thought of what everyone went through
during those days. Yep! there are many small fellers who can remem
ber being the only ones around with all the old fellers. Remembering
a hit tune at that time when all the Women were singing, "They're
either too young or too old." All the Women working in War Plants
in the big cities wearing the pants while the guys are away.
Spring time around here didn't give us that opportunity to greet the
April showers, as a matter of fact we didn't have any April showers at
all. Now things are looking pretty bad as for as greenery is concerned.
We sure could have used a lot of April showers as a lot of the hills are
already turning yellow with the dry grass. Soon there will be some
wild fires all around the place.
Another big factor for a dry season and a low water content was
because of the lack of snow this year. During the winter months there
were no snow falls to speak of at all. What did fall melted away as soon
as it hit the ground and they didn't last very long either and never
dampened the ground at all. Yep! this dry season is being felt by all the
farmers and those who depend on the water supply. Could be hard on
the Marijuana plants, (Ayeee)!
Oh Well, it could be hard on any kind of vegetation as far as that
goes. AAHH-NAH-CHI- TOON.

Warm Springs Elder Walk a BIG success; Thanks!
On memorial Day, it is a sacred
day for the Indian people across
the country, as many communi
ties focus more on the war dead,
the Indian race respects all who
have passed on in their families.
Every family member is honored
on Memorial day from infant to
the very old and are not forgotten.
However, special pride is paid
to those who have fallen in battle
during war time. Also since the
end of the wars we have had many
veterans who have passed on and
we take pride in those men who
were willing to put their lives on
the line in time of war. The Ameri
can flag flies on man v craves here
in Warm Springs, OR, for those
who served their country during
times of disrupt around the World
Decoration Day, as it was referred to in the olden day's, where
everyone goes out and cleans, and prepare the graves for decorations.
Yep! The Indian people take grate pride of all who have passed on.
Visiting the Cemeteries and remembering all those days in the past
once a year. Many visit cemeteries quite frequently when things are
not going well. This sort of puts minds at ease.
To the editor,
The Warm Springs Senior's
Program staff wish to express the
biggest of the "BIG NOTE OF
APPRECIATION AND THANK
YOU!" to each of the senior citizens
and everyone else who participated
in, and assisted with the Warm
Springs Elder Walk on May 25th.
Some local programs and
departments who really came through
with flying colors on this excellent
weather day to help with the elder's
walk included the Warm Springs Fire
Safety Department, the Tribal Police
Department, ECE staff & all of their
young students, the Recreation
Department, Spilyay Tymoo, our
CHR's,IHS personnel, Social Service
staff, Community Counseling
representatives, the Community
Health Education Team, KWSO
Radio Station, and many
representatives from the community
and other programs.
When Joey Ortiz jumped out to
lead the warm up calisthenics, and
everyone was making all of that loud
noise, curious bluebirds, magpies &
meadowlarks came to investigate
what was going on. Those inquisitive
onlookers became a little nervous &
concerned when our elders and the
ECE kids started stomping the
ground, and began to cause those
Richter scale measured 3.3 earth
tremors. More birds came to check
out this happening, and they too, were
becoming distressed. Wilson Wewa,
Jr., of our staff, told them there was
no cause for alarm and that they were
witness to a special local activity in
observance of the "1994 National
Senior Health & Fitness Day." Also,
that we are looking to make this the
first annual seniors community event
for everyone to join in, and walk &
smile a mile. Those birds all sang out
with joy when they realized that this
was an event to promote good health.
and that there was no major threat to
destruction of our planet. Mr. Wewa
had originated this fitness activity
idea for our Senior program.
At the onset of the walk, as the
walkers left the Seniors Center to
stroll down the long, winding, hillside
trail in almost military precision to
the walkway along Hollywood Blvd.,
the crickets & grasshoppers all
stopped gossiping, fell silent, and
watched in awe. Astonished dogs &
cats at the homes along the route
gladly welcomed the invasion of their
privacy. The dogs wagged their tails
to greet everyone, and the cats joined
them as they waved & cheered when
they saw George Schneitcr, Buck
Jones, Ursula Little, Fannie & Faye
Waheneka, Iris Smith, Prunie
Williams (in her warm ups), Elizabeth
Rhoan, Margaret & Dan Buckland,
Edna Sanders and Thclma Coburn
leading the fun walk for all of our
other seniors and the long line of kids
and young adults who had come to
show their support.
Motorist and their passengers
looked amazed to see the very large
number of people (possibly 250 to
300) who had come to do the walk.
This milestone occasion concluded
with a pleasant picnic at Jurassic Park,
the newly developed, still to be
completed, park across the street from
the community center, the food was
prepared by our Senior Program
cooks. One other acknowledgement:
one of our elders who had been
assisting with a family crisis when
the walk was taking place, came in to
the Senior's Center late in the
afternoon and volunteered to walk
the prescribed course. After
completing the walk, she came back
to report that it was easy mush! This
elder was Caroline Tohct. In all, we
wish to thank the many people who
supported this special activity.
Everyone, Thank You!
With much appreciation,
Elton Greeley

To the editor,
Hello once again. Well, it is mid
June and a few weeks from Pow
Wow. At the time of writing this
piece the loggers were out of the
woods because of log
rices...Another senior high class
ooks to its future in this world. With
the right attitude you could think
yourself into a pretty bad mood about
life. Yeah, life looks tough and is not
easy. Well, how about closing the
book of attitudes and to open the
book of praise? To believe other
people are quite as sincere as you are
and to treat them with respect? To
ignore what life owes you and to
think about what you owe life? To
stop looking for friendship and start
being friendly? To be content with

The Community Center and I are
offering massages each Thursday
from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. in the room
next to the Aerobics Room.
Who should receive a massage?
Everyone!!
Massage is good for that aching
back, stiff neck, sore muscles, andor
physical and mental fatigue. Anyone
who is interested in maintaining good
health and controlling stress should
have a massage. It is the manipulation
of muscles and tissues to produce
effects of relaxation or increased
vigor. Touch that is respectful, aware,
non-sexual, caring and comforting
can be a wonderful form of healing.
Massage practitioners must be

needed
such things as you have and to stop
whining for the things you have not?
To enjoy the simpler blessings and to
stop striving for the pleasures of the
day? To forget what you have
accomplished and to meditate on what
others have done for you? To cease
looking for someone to help you and
to devote yourself to helping others?
To accept Jesus Christ as your Savior
and to let your life be an outlet for His
love, joy and peace?

Tribal custom
dictated by God
To the editor,
RE: Customsof the Warm Springs
People:
Before time immemorial we've
had a Columbia River Indian People
Custom. Dictated, mandated by God,
laws, coming from the spirit.. .not
flesh.
See: Our Children...don't listen,
moral ethic, traditional customs,
purpose.
I am proposing we the people
move for unity, and discipline
ourselves. Make positive correction
for our babies, children's benefit.
I'm asking for our little ones sake,
and for spiritual growth, cleanse
myself... this day.
Very truly yours,
