4 January 20, 1995 Warm Springs, Oregon SpilyayTymoo E Coosh EEWA: The way it is The Ms and I were having a cup J y 0 of coffee one morning when she G upped and asked me about all this stuff on diversity. What's been happening on this lately? "Well," I sez, "as far as I know there have been some meetings held in Bend, Oregon on the sub ject but as far as any kind of plan to reduce prejudice and stuff like that I haven't heard of anything yet. Speaking on prejudice feelings, once I was invited to one of their meetings in Bend, by Mr. Firestone, one of the advocates in the area and while in attendance the question was raised by one of the ladies who asked, "What's he doing here?" referring to me. Mr. Firestone had to explain that he invited me to attend the meeting. If a person really felt like he was in a place where he shouldn't have been, well that's just how I felt.. So where does it END? SS SS SS SS SS SS Have you ever been lost from your car in a parking lot? Went to the Wrangler Pro-Rodeo, at the Memorial Coliseum, Saturday night, drove into the parking lot, paid the fee and followed directions to my destination, never noticing what level I was on. In a bit of a hurry, I followed the crowd into the coliseum. I found my seat, which was in a good location overlooking the bucking chutes. Enjoyed an evening filled action packed rodeo and after it was over, I started to leave the arena. Sorta back-tracking the direction I cam in. Follow ing the crowd I got on the elevator, where it goes down to the first level. I got out and the frantic hunt began. I walked from one end to the other, even got directions to the south parking area. Many things went through my mind like, someone stole the car, or it was towed away and stuff like that. After a second round of looking for my car I came upon one of the attendants and I explained to him that when I paid my parking fee I turned right and went down one level to park. He said, "If you went down one level than you must be up on the third level." Here I thought that there were just two levels, so I gets into the elevator goes to the third level, goes around the corner and there it sat, just where I left it. I jumped in, started up and went to the Motel and everyone lived happily ever after. AHH-NAHH-CHI-TOON! ! ! Toe Ness Teacher: How old would a person be if he was born in 1917?

Five keys open closed spirit becomes grounds for Tickets sold for work program raffle Is the party over? Hope not, hope we can do more for our tribes in the future. Just recently I read an article where the Coquille Indian tribe has a policy that will never have Per Diem (per capita?) payments. "I do not believe in that," said Mr. Anderson, "It creates a socialistic society. Take the Warm Springs, they live in tribal housing and they get $300 a month. A lot of" them won't go to school and they don't want to work." And, as I read on down farther in the article, he went on to say, "The Coquille Tribal Council Chairman just passed a resolution giving the Tribal members a $400 rebate off the Price of Heritage Place. We have very little money, but we've done this, and as we get more money, eventually the Council will make the decisions to what kind of rebate they can give the Tribal Members at that time.. Yep! It would be good if the Warm Springs Tribal members received $300 a month and lived in Tribal homes, What a way to go, Huh? To the editor, Hello from Pastor Rick. Hidden Keys to Loving Relationships. Here is some more great info. Overcoming the major destroyer of relationships. ANGER. Anger in any relationship starts a process called the "Power Struggle". Level one. Power struggle, issues are constantly raised but never resolved. Who's spending the money, a wet towel left on achair. Frustration builds up so an issue that should be a "3" on the emotional Richtcr scale gets an "8". Level two. Power struggle, as problems pile up, they'll drop the issue, and begin to pick on the person. "If she had any brains.. .If he was sensitive like Mary'shusband..."The battle goes from issues to who's going to change and who's in charge. Level three. Power struggle, the final option, attacking the relationship. "If these are the issues and heshe is the kind of person than what am I doing in this relationship !". At this level you question the relationship. Also, something happens in the relationship. Issues jump from level one to level three. Happy 13th Birthday Darreck D. Palmer!! Love, Mom, David, Tashayla, Carmcl, Harley and Grandma Edith Happy ?? birthday Mom! Love you, Donna An issue divorce. All this from level one to three gives all of us a closed spirit. Our inner person is a closed fist. Now, how to open the fist. COMMUNICATION....Facial,eyes, mouth, eye brows etc. Tone of voice, softharsh, patientquick. Touch, soft, assuring, supportive, understanding, firm, enthusiastic. Smallcy has Five keys to open a closed spirit: 1) Become gentle, demonstrate tenderheartedness. 2) Understand what the other person has gone through, listening carefully not only to what the other person has gone thorough, but how it is said. What has caused their anger? 3) Acknowledge that the person is hurting and admit when you have been offensive. 4) Touch the other person gently. 5) Ask for forgiveness. If the person does not begin to open right away, then start over. Get softer, increase your understanding and above all be carefully persistent. See you in Church. Pastor Rick R.

Reina was the only girl to try out for the Coos Bay boy's Little League. 130 boys, 6-7 grade level tried out for 2 teams of 15. Reina was an early selection by both coaches. She also played in the Southwestern Oregon Youth Ac tivities Association (SWOYA) boy's basketball league as well. She was the first of her gender on both activi ties. No small achievement. She also was selected to play in the Junior girl's ASA 14 and under all star team on softball but decided to concentrate her time to Little League. Making 8 put-outs in 8 games from center field. More than any boy in the league. She is a very special girl who is being recruited by Southwestern Or egon Community College already. He asked her to attend the ladies SWOCC basketball practices and work out with the team if she so desired.
