4 May 25, 1995 Warm Springs, Oregon SpilyayTymoo E Coosh EEWA: The way it is SV IhYkY $VE!htC$ Warning! Three Nations place second Poem I T Just like the end of World War II, this year marks the 20th year since the fighting stopped in Viet nam, the controversal and dread ful war that has left many scars that will never be forgotten by those who were involved. Sons, daugh ters, parents, friends and just about anyone, both South Vietnam and Americans, all suffered through those awful years. Many, many men and women gave their lives for the sake of what? Many sons and daughters were lost during the struggle for peace in that country. Today, many wid pws face the world from the hard ship of those days of turmoil in Vietnam. Across the nation, and even around the world, there bad feelings about the Vietnam war. Here in the U.S. there were all kinds of demonstrations staged against the war where draft cards and flags were burned in protest of the war. , Demonstrations on college campuses were staged to the point .'where things sort of got out of control where troops fired on the demonstrators. At Kent State University students were killed during jtheir demonstrations. That really set off the fire works against the war. All along, men were dying in the jungles of Vietnam of which the war lasted about 10 years. At first the Americans were there as advisors to the South Vietnam forces, teaching them and training them for combat. The Viet Cong started to attack everything in sight to where the Americans had to become involved to protect themselves. Finally the word was, defend yourself at any cost and later to the point of search and destroy. The invisible enemy of the jungles of Vietnam and so the U.S. troops were in the thick of things. Finally the bombing raids were ordered to take place on North Vietnam as tons of bombs were dropped on all the major cities that produced the war weapons and supplies for the Viet Cong. Still on the home front the protesting against the war continued and as troops returned home from Vietnam they faced the problem of not being accepted by the general public for being involved with the Vietnam War. Who was to blame? It wasn't their fault that they had to go over to Vietnam. Some of them were humiliated by the general public for being a Vietnam Veteran, until recently they finally were accepted. , , 1 : Yep! There are many big battles that will stand out in minds of a .yietnairi Veterans' mind until the day he dies. Battles all along the. countryside from the first time the U.S. Troops landed in Cam Ranh Bay in South China Sea, to the end of the conflict. Some of the major battles of the era were around Phnom Penh, Bien Hoa, Da Lat, Pleiku, Hue, Da Nang, Quang Tri, Kae Sanh, Chu Lai, Dak To, and many, many others during the war. I The war finally came to an end in Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City, twenty years ago where about 58,000 lives were lost in the ten-year stretch. The Troops are home now and let's hope there won't be another war of its kind again. SS SS SS i I The game of basketball is getting a little out of hand now days as you watch the Pros play. Everything seems to sway toward who the player is and not according to the rules. And some refs are just as bad at making calls during a game. Yep! Depends on who the player is that seems to get away with a lot of tilings, or if a ref seems to have a beef "against one of the players, or he seems to dislike. At one time this was called a non-cnotact sport and a good, clean game. Today you almost need three refs and a wrestling ref under the basket with all the pulling, shoving, elbowing going on. There are some fouls called for trying to get postition but it's mostly who the ref favors who gets the benefit. The body contact is worse than anything to where soon players will have to have helmets and face masks. There are no offensive fouls called even if the defensive player is laying flat on his back. It's the guy who is knocked over who ends up with the ; foul. If it's K.J, Stockton, or Jordan they never get charging fouls, it's always the defensive player. If the ref calls a foul on KJ or Stockton ; you'd think there were not supposed to be any fouls called on them. i Another thing when the offensive player gets the ball and turns his 1: back to the basket and dribbles backward pushing the defensive : player, to me that should be charging. They travel all the time but no i calls are made, they switch piviot foot a lot of times and the refs just let it go. Palming the ball is like earring the ball and they do it all the time. They should be called for that. Yep! Pro ball is getting out of hand today. SS SS SS Toe Ness The trouble of being a good sport is that you have to lose to prove it. YIKES. SS SS SS There was this guy who said he became an umpire because he couldn't see well enough to bat. YIKES SS SS SS A Hippie walking down the street with one shoe was asked, "Did you lose 21 shoe? "No," came back the reply, "I found one." YIKES To the editor, Hello from Pastor Rick. Do you remember the robot on the TV show "Lost in Space". 'Warning! Will Robinson. ..Warning Will Robinson...Warning. He would stand there and rock back and forth shouting this phrase to the young man warning him of the latest evil bad guy to come to their planet. Well, here I go; Warning Warm Springs!! Warning Warm Springs!! Warning...In the past couple of weeks I have seen the continual effects of alcohol and drugs on the lives of people. But now there is the added layer of gambling having its power over families of Warm Springs. Now it is a loved one going out to Kah-Nee-Ta for a few hours of gambling because they heard of someone hit ting it big. They come back home with no money and the house hitting it big. They come back home with no money and the house bills looking even bigger on the kitchen table. Wanting something for nothing, is a very old trap. It is a trap that says "jump in, past the darkness is wealth, health and love." Yet, past the dark ness is more darkness, and more dark ness. DON'T JUMP... If you want to gamble do this first; pay your bills, put some money away for the future, use some money to help someone in need, then if you have any left over, keep it in your pocket.

Our girls consisted of Tanya Tewee, Angela Picard, Marie Kalama, Myrna McConville, Deece Suppah, Roberta Thomas, Darlene Frank, Farrell Lucei, Taralee Suppah and Marissa Kalama. Our team went by Three Nations. We had played in an older cat egory, because I was told that it would be a 17 & under Tourney but found it to be a 19 & under on arrival. Our 4 h team had represented Warm Springs very well on the court. We played White Swan, WA in our first game. There was a rule in effect that at the end of the third quarter, a team lead ing by 30 points or more, the game will be called. With the girls speed and fast breaks, we ended the game at the end of the third quarter with a 39 point lead. We then played the Lapwai High School Team, who had taken second in state. We was beat by eight points. We had them in the first half by eight but ended up losing. We then went to the back door playing girls from Lapwai called the Chocolate Chicks. These girls were same age and older then our girls. We also took these girls out at the end of the 3rd quarter. With a 32 point lead. We then met up with the High School team again. The Lapwai girls took the lead right off the start of the game. At one point, our girls were down by 16 points but came back to tie. The Lapwai girls were at their edge. At the end the score was 48 to 53. The Lapwai girls edged our girls. Considering the girls from Lapwai were a lot older with 1 9 year old girls on their team, and taking second in State this season, our girls did a great job and played hard. Good job girls.

Simnasho Grade School Parent Advisory committee submitted Reality by Dancing Light She'd smile at passers-bye And everyone who caught her eye She was so friendly But that was way back then When she was nine or ten Before reality. She was taught that the States was good And that politicians would Make all things better. But now she knows that the rich will rule The poor...and make them so much more the dcbter..Reality! Reality! A true friend should take heed she thought When someone is in need or want And so she gave her all. And so.. .Take they did: each one and all Ignoring her silent call for fealty She found some friendships just aren't true That people climbed and used her too. It made her cry. Now she, just like a rose that's crushed, Brings fragrance in an artful brush to Reality. She smiles at passers-bye and now she casts a careful eye for honest friendship. Reality can hurt and Reality can mend and build a lasting kinship. House for sale Four-bedroom, two bath. All appliances included.

Why aren't more Tribal members hired as policemen or at the fire sta tion? Is it who you know or are re lated to? How many ways are there for a person to give up? We live in a beautiful world with heaven & hell the red road and the dark road. Oh yes! Affirmative action is under at tackin this country. Maybe the people of color don't need those jobs after all!? We all come up short in some eyes. I feel that we need the freedom to vote for our leaders, branch man agers, chief of Police, judges, fire chief! Let these people stand up and say what they have to offer us. Would our tribal mill workers have been sent home with bad attitudes? What a joke! Would our people be passed over for non-Indians at the Police & Fire stations-No! because who would vote for a manager who would by pass his own people! Get a life-get a job! Maybe people would come back to council meetings. Maybe they would put down their bottle or drug of choice. Who gets busted for drugs & who doesn't?! Is it who you know or are related to? Freedom is real or is freedom an illusion, clear a path for our next generation just say no? Let our men be men and put them in their rightful places. Just say no! LeRoy Bobb f
