4 October 26, 1995 Warm Springs, Oregon SpilyayTymoo E Coosh EEWA: 77ze way it is Thank you for your help By Sid Miller Veterans Day is ncarine, a day set aside to honor all those young i- - j men wno sucnucea meir lives aur ing war time. To honor all who served in the armed forces of the United States. All veterans should take pride on tjiis day as they were willing to put their lives on the line during hostel times around the world, j Many years ago this day was known as "Armistice Day, after the end of World War One. Thats when the war ended in Europe, lhcre war ragged in the trenches, rjiud and behind the barbwire, throw in some poison gas or chemicals. There are just a very few men left from that War which ended in 1 9 1 7. f Vnr CAUAfnl iArc ta vfrf tune ait peace but behind the scenes there was plans of war in the European countries, as the Nazis were on the move until the start of world war II, when Germany invaded Poland, in 1 939. From there they went on to other cpuntries, like Romania, the Netherlands and the war was spreading all dver Europe. In the meantime in the far east the Japanese were stirring up aJot of camotion as they were invading small countries and parts of China. I The United States was pretty much natural all this time while things were building up all around the world. ; i Well the Japanese sided in with the Axis forces and really went on a rampage taking all the Island in the South Pacific. All the activities around the world and the United States was not envolved in anyway. j But than on December 7, 1941, the Japanese Empire made a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, on Oahu, Hawaii. Their attack cought the Americans with their hands down and crippling most of the Fleet that was anchored at Pearl Harbor. Many many Americans lost their lives during that sneak attack which prompted the United States to declare war on the Japanese Empire and the Axis forces around the world. The sneak attack was planned to cripple the U. S. Fleet that was in the Pacific theater at that time. 1 Today as you visit Hawaii, you can still see the remains of all the battleships that was sunk during that attack. The memorial of the USS Arizona, where hundreds of sailors lost their lives with out a chance to get away. Yep! it was on a Sunday morning on a peaceful morning when the big attack arrived. That put the United States of America into the war, and so the World Vjter II was in full swing. Today we read of all those battles of the South Pacific and in Europe during WWII. The Fall of Bataan, Corregidor, Leyte, Mindanaio, and the death march by the U. S. Prisoners of War:'"-'-' When the U. S. finally made their aggressive move.was the invatioirof 1 Guadalcanal, and from there it was a Island hopping job of retakingatt those small Islands taken by the Japanese, the Gilbert Islands, the Marshall Islands the Marianas, where all those horrible battles at Tarawa, Sjpan, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and Guam. The retaking of the Philippines, j In the mean time the U S forces landed on North Africa and were pushing their way up through Italy, and finally the big landing at Normandy. That took a lot out of the German army and they were being pushed right back to Germany. Finally the war was over in Europe, but, . there was still fierce fighting in the Pacific Theater with the Japanese.; ' : As the troops were coming home from Europe and many were ' ' preparing to go on to the Pacific Theater it was decided to drop the A Bpmb, which really put the end of WWII. The unconditionsl Surrender ' by the Japanese forces ended the Big World War. . , j World Series The World series are the highlights of the happenings around here today and the games are between the Cleveland Indians and the Atlanta Braves.'". Or should I have said the Cleveland Native Americans VS The Atlanta Native Americans? , . : To some folks who work for a living everyday think it' s pathetic on how some people re-act to something like the Cleveland Indians, something that has been around here for years and years and no one has been hurt from uSat. The Name of the Cleveland Indians, The Atlanta Braves, for the majority of the real Indians who live and work for their living don' t even' pay any attention to the names. It's just people who have nothing to do but Sit around and think up bad things they can do to stir up a fuss on petty . things. , . . , .. ; These names have been around so long that even the grand parents never gave it much thought at all. Like they say, its only a game. I YepT The Working Native Americans can care less of what the teams are called. They are too busy taking care of theirfamilies and their jobs and ijot out looking for hand-outs. I've been a Cleveland Indian fan all my life and I'm sure not gonna change my ways now. Dear Community members, It is with great relief and gratitude that I write this letter to let special people know how grateful I am to have them in my Jifc. The frightening incident involved my fiance", Dane Jackson who hadn't returned home from work on Satur day, October 14, 1995. ' To make a long story short, Dane "was returned home to me safely in the early morning on Monday. You cannot believe the relief I felt when I heard his footsteps come in the door; Late Sunday evening" I was ad; ' vised by Dane's mother to contact, the police department to see what we should do. I am very grateful that our community has a group of people ' such as the Search and Rescue Team who responded immediately when the incident was reported. I don't know who specifically involved, but THANK YOU! And also a big thank you to the WS Police department personnel who was involved. I would like to thank Johnny , Guerin & Tanya for their coopera- ' tion and support when I reported the incident to them, as Dan is employed by Johnny. I would like to thank my two beau tiful aunts, Eliza Brown & Ncda Wesley for coming to my apartment and being with me. They came and told crazy stories to make me laugh and keep my spirits up, and most of all for the faith they have in Dane and the prayer. I would like to thank Rcgina Heath and Alice Jackson, my future in-laws for their love and support through the ordeal. I would like to thank my friends, 'Angie Smith, Angie Spino and Deborah Jackson for their support and words of encouragement. I'm glad I have friends like you. It just seems like words cannot express my deep appreciation, but I . wanted to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart. ' Respectfully, ' Helena M.

The. way , procedures discipline joining channels still wheeling every minute to strive for trust whether outcome holds all or To the people of Warm Springs, I am in my final term at Portland , State University. As a tribal mem ' bcr, I am a recipient of a tribal schol arship which is renewed each term based on meeting or exceeding class credit requirements and G.P. A stand ing. For the past six terms, I have received a child core allowance as a part of my tribal scholarship. This allowance provided much need as sistance to pay for preschool costs so I could attend classes. I am a single mother going to school full-time. This term, on the second day of classes, I received a letter in the mail from the Education Department informing me that I would not be receiving any child care assistance since my daughter is not an enrolled member. First of all, it was my understanding that my tribal scholarship was to assist me through higher education al am a tribal member) and that the child care allowance was a part of that not. Receive yourself tools working ,t scholarship. Second, having received towards traits, enjoying. Breathing this assistance in the past six terms to life. ed to great difficulty and financial Tribal member 1736 CCtress when I found out this term, ...M,V. ...-, ..'Twinkv'riaftec.the tprmbegan, I wouldnot be I nnnlOrilimrt" any prior warning? and 2) Since my daughter is eligible for enrollment through the adoption process, how is it that she is shut from the commu nity and its resources when the he adoption process is put off through no fault of ours? Which leads me to anther subject. As this is my final term, I intend to return to WS after graduation. I am looking forward to returning home with my daughter and contributing to my community. I am proud that will be returning with a college de gree. It is not something I could have done without the assistance of my tribal scholarship and the support of my family. I have worked hard not only for myself and my family, but for the people of WS, who invested faith and support in my achievements and potential. As a former Miss Warm Springs, I proudly represented all of the people of WS as an Indian person. This craziness about pedigrees had me deeply saddened. I have to carry my "pedigree card" and it gives me a fraction that some people use to judge my indianess . As lar as I am con Life full of "laws" To the editor, Hello from Pastor Rick. Wow, my week has been full of "what's the use", "they don't care", "it doesn't matter": "why have a seat belt law. .the police don't do anything anyway". "Why stop drinking, it's MY life". You know there is a God. For me to put up with a week of anger, self righteous, pity-pot, and brats. Why does an attitude that is filled with pessimism, and Mb statements seem to fill the air? Somewhere out in the world there is a law that says the world is to bend my way. The second law says if it will not bend my way then the world is to stand straight up. The third law says if the world will not bend my way and will not stand straight up, it will not be out of reach. Yep, some where out in the world these three , laws are written. Yeah, right, if you believe that then come see me about some swamp land up on the flats I'll sell you cheap. There are no written laws, yet we carry the attitude as if they exist. To be down on life or a part of it is not allow a living God to be a part of you. A bum attitude is a small win dow to the soul. You see what is truly a part of a person's life. You see images of the Lord or a poor reflec tion of the burden that a person car ries inside of themselves. What is the written Law? First law, God is Love. Second law, Love your God. Third law, Love yourself and others. If the third law is too tough, go to the second. If the second is confusing, remember the first. A bum attitude or an attitude of love. See you in church.
