Veterans Day was well observed in Warm Springs, with ceremonies at the memorial
stone, and a 21-cun salute in front of the old administration building, on Saturday
morning November 11, 1995, and a parade to the Longhouse. This year the ROTC Cadets
from Madras High School joined in on the festivities and the parade. 1 hey also
participated in the grand entries at the Longhouse each performance.
This year the focus was on the Korean War veterans as they were finally officially
recognized as war veterans 40 years after the war in Korea. With the dedication of the
Korean War Memorial at the Mall in Washington D.C., President Clinton Proclaimed
July 27 as the Korean War Armistice Day. The nation will observe that day with Hags
flown at half mast until the year 2004.
Veterans Day activities started on Friday night with the Grand Entry at 7:00 p.m. with
all veterans making their entrance following the colors. After the colors were posted there
was a time to reflect on those terrible war-stricken days.
Chcsley Yahtin is a member of the "Chosin Few", the troops who were completely
surrounded by thousands of Chinese troops at Changjin Reservoir. The American troops
had to fight their way out to the sea at Hungnam, where they were picked up by U. S.
ships. The war was looking as if it might end when the American troops were pushing the
Communist troops up to the Manchunan border wnen tne uiinese troops ueciacu 10 join
in with the North Koreans. During the siege at Changjin Reservoir they not only had to
fight the enemy but also had to fight the sub-zero weather that also took its toll on the
American troops with frost bite. Some even froze to death. When the Chinese army
joined in on the fight it turned out to be a real battle. (Reflections by Owsley.)
On Saturday night Veterans of all wars had a special dance with family members who
supported their veteran danced beside them. The night went right along fine w ith all the
contests of each category participating, right from the small to the big guys and girls.
At the present time there are plans for activities to take place here in Warm Springs in
July, on the day of observance of the Korean Armistice day. Special ceremonies and other
activities along with a powwow are in the planning. Watch for further mlormation in tne
future.

GROWING UP:
A highly active child can test the
patience of any parent. Almost every
child is very active some of the time,
but other children may fit this
description more often.
A parent often describes a highly
active child as "intense" or "always
moving."
The highly active child doesn't
always have the condition called
"hyperactivity" or Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). A
highly active child can most often
has a chronic problem of
uncontrollable behavior that isn't
right for his age.
Many parents feci that certain
foods such as sugar can cause children
to become more active. Studies have
not proven this link. But it is true that
special events that include high sugar
foods, such as birthdays and
Halloween, do excite children. Also,
stressed and tired parents sometimes
feel their children arc more active
than they truly are. And it' s best to let
active children exercise before asking
them to sit still at in a restaurant or
doctor's office.
ECE would like to remind parents
that the BUS LOADING ZONE
located to the south of the building is
closed to all vehicles accept the bus's
who transport children to and from
school. The program would request
your cooperation.
Parents:
How was the ECE Rummage
Sale? Did you benefit by it? Do you
think we should do it again? What
can we do better? Let your child's
teachers know. In the eyes of the
Social Service Coordinator, Versa
Smith. The Rummage Sale was a
success of the sale besides seeing the
amount and quality of clothing that
was donated and seeing the clothing
sold. We took in $ 1 50.00 in cash and
$60.00 in ECE Bucks. Proceeds of
the sale went to the Parent Club Fund
which funds ECE children Activities
such as Halloween, Christmas,
Easter.etc. Versa personally would
like to thank Lois Smith and Delia
Walsey for their time assisting with
the rummage sale they assisted in
setting up on Thursday (102695)
and both parents stayed with Versa
all day Friday (102795. The team
never quit putting clothing out on the
tables Just as fast as clothing was
sold, new donations came in. The
success of the rummage sale depends
on how much you are willing to put
into them. This is what parent
involvement is all about you took
the time to gather and wash clothing,
bringing them to the program and
donating them. You were willing to
share. THANK YOU ALL!!!

ECE held a Thanksgiving powwow November 15 at the Agency Longhouse for the children. Many
children, parents and teachers were there to dance with the children.
During the next two months, the
governments of fourColumbia River
treaty tribes will be finalizing their
two-volume salmon restoration plan,
which they will make available to the
public this coming February. In June
1 995, the Nez Perce, Umatilla, Warm
Springs and Yakama tribes released
a draft of the plan for public comment.
Volunteers needed
During the winter months, when
the snow flies, many Seniors in our
community are in need of someone
that can shovel snow in their
driveways and walkways to allow
them to get out safely. Many are in
need of low cost services, and in
some cases cannot afford to pay for
any services. Central Oregon Council
on Aging would like to know if there
are people throughout the local
communities that can offer their
services on a regular or emergency
basis. Also needed are drivers with 4
wheel drive vehicles, that can offer
their services to deliver Meals on
Wheels during heavy snow. Please
call our main COCOA office in
Redmond, at 548-8817, or contact
your local Senior Center and ask for
the Site Coordinator. Thank you for
your help.
In October, their technical staffs
completed a final, revised draft for
tribal governmental approval.
The major change to the earlier
draft is a sharper focus on survival
rates: Through modeling and other
empirical methods, the tribes' ;
scientists estimated what survival
levels are required at each salmon
life stage in order for salmon stocks
to rebuild. Among other benefits,
this allows policy makers to
understand the impact of resource :
management decisions on salmon
survival. Forexample, if mainstream
Columbia River hydro-operations :
permit a certain level of juvenile :
salmon mortality, the plan now
indicates how many more salmon
will have to survive in tributary
habitat to maintain overall rebuilding ;
rates.
In addition to recommending ;
changes in hydro-system and
hatchery operations, land and water
use practices, and harvest
management, the tribal plan
addresses institutional reforms,
including redirecting costly salmon :
research to activities directly linked
to salmon restoration.
