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.

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.

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.
See you in church.

To the editor,
We attended the Lapwai, ID Cathy
Rickman Basketball Tourney on May
5,6. 7, 1995.
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.

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.

To the editor,
Congratulations Chief Spirits ! To
Reva and her crew. Just to say con
gratulations on a well organized
CHILDREN'S basketball tourna
ment. It was really good to see the
CHILDREN' COMMUNITY CEN
TER being used for a local event that
gave a chance to all those that wanted,
to just have fun. It was a very enter
taining event, that really made a per
son smile to see all those little ones
having the time of their life on the
basketball court. This, to me, was a
reminder of what the Community
Center was originally set up for. So
all those that took part and supported
Reva and her efforts deserve a big
pat on the back for a job well done.
And last, but not least, the 4-H Rain
bow dancers would like to thank Reva
for the opportunity to run the conces
sions as part of our fundraising ef
forts. Myra Shawaway &
the Rainbow Dancers.

Unanswered
questions asked
To the editor,
Just say no. Smoking weed a com
fortable place to escape and relax.
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!
