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?

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! ! !

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

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.

Information offered
To the editor,
Thanks for putting the article in
the December 94 issue. 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.
Thank you,
Alfred Estimo, Sr, proud father

There were a couple of keys chains
that said "I break for parties", one
that had a gold '94 and one from
Seattle. On the key chains were three
box keys along with a few others.
Please, if anyone knows anything
about my rings or keys please give

An added feature this year to our
tournament was the Saturday

Although we had a small turnout this
first year, the kids enjoyed themselves
and we hope next year to have more
participation. So parents, keep this in
mind, all our young and upcoming
bowlers can look forward to an annual
local Indian YABA tournament, if
we can get it off the ground, so we
will be looking forward to more
YABA bowlers next year.
A special award will be going out
to Angie Spino for 75 pins over her
average (she actually bowled 96 pins
over her average). Congratulations
to Satch Miller also for bowling a
fantastic 708 series. It was the highest
series for the tournament.
Congratulations bowlers!
This year's tournament was held
in memory of past bowlers of the
Warm Springs League-Milan Smith,
Sr., Lloyd Smith, Sr., and Alvin
Smith. We had jackets and vests
donated by Warren R. Clements, and
in honor of these bowlers these were
presented by Rudy as follows: Lloyd
Smith, Sr.-Norene Greene, Alvin
