in a while I get a bite or two and when I catch them I don' t throw them
back like they do on TV.
Yep I'd say we have a pretty nice place to live even though it may
be hilly and stuff like that. There is only one gripe, and that's about
rubbish. Why do people drive along these roads and throw theirtrash
out when they could just as easy go to the landfill to dump theirtrash.
This is an eye sore for our roadside views. Take the Tenino valley
where there are several homes and there are dumpsters set up along
the roads for people to dispose of their trash. But I guess things are
not as ugly for some people so they just dump their trash anywhere
they want. Like I said, it would be closer for them to drive to the
landfi 1 1 and dump their trash than to go and dump them in the country
and ruin the scenery.
Yep! In some places people who are caught dumping rubbish

placed on them they would not dump their trash so freely.
As they used to say in the Olden day's, "It's Greenup time," the
time for all the farmers and stockmen to start working their fields
planting feed for their live stock for the coming winter. The price of
feed is outrageous when winter rolls around, especially when there
is a shortage of feed around the country. Around here there are not too
many irragatible lands for repeating crops like alfalfa and stuff like
that, so the best kind of crops are dry land farming
The recent floods have had quite an impact on some of the farm
lands, especially land along the river bottoms. There are fields with
huge wash outs and gullies running down the fields. There are some
fields where silt has washed onto the alfalfa fields and it will take
some time for the crops to become productive again. Yep! there sure
was a lot of damage done to many tillable lands along the river
bottoms .. It w i 1 1 take some time to get these fields back into producing
stages but with some hard work by the stockmen and farmers they can
get their lands producing again. It does cut down a whole lot to raise
ones own crops for feed for their livestock, or raising crops for
market, like wheat and oats or other kinds of open market use. It's
even fun to grow a garden for fresh vegetables during the summer
months..

To the editor,
Work Experience and
Development Department is no
longer located in the basement of the
Education Services building. We
have moved to the first floor of the
same building. We do not have
telephone service in the room we are
in, but are trying to work something
out so people can reach us by phone
if they need to.
We ask that the community have
patience with the situation we are in.
We have no control of the reason
why we have had to move out of the
basement area. We wish Laura a
healthy recovery. We are sorry for
Thanks for
sticking with me
To my wife Myrna Ferguson
This is to let you know that I love
you for sticking with me through all
our troubles and will walk through
whatever may come our way, side by
side.
Things will get better.
Loving you,
Your husband,
Sinte Hla Luta
all the inconvenience this situation
has created because we know many,
many people count on our daily
services and team.
We are really proud of the entire
team for pulling together to be able
to quickly relocate their work stations
to keep operating, and for getting
along so well-being crammed into
an even smaller work area.
Thank you so much WEDD team.
We want to publicly thank our GM,
Wendell Jim, for providing us the
temporary space to move into because
we know this means another
operation was inconvenienced.

To the editor,
To the Tribal members, I would
like to take this opportunity to Thank
everyone involved with our part in
the grand opening of the "Indian Head
Gaming Center".
We encountered some problems
in developing our stick game tourna
ment, but we did get some involve
ment from some visitors, Idaho, Utah,
California, British Columbia, Wash
ington and of course Warm Springs.
Everything was conducted in a
traditional form, in fact, they asked
for a cultural game on our last day.
Nobody wanted to take off their
breech cloth or wing dress for bet
ting. Mother Earth and elements played
a good part also. The Gaming Man
ager and her staff helped our cause
tremendously. Without them, we
might have failed. We had other op
tions developing, but without our
participants patience nothing would
have been possible.
We're all looking forward to 1997
and another opportunity to demon
strate the generosity, kindness and
patience of our tribal members.
Some of the primary people who
assisted in developing this ceremony
were: Donna Torres, Nettie Dickson,
Caroline Torres, Ramona Starr, Ri
chard Tohet, Lenora & Orland Doney
and Lizzie Rhoan. All of the person
nel has some assistance from other
resources, which helped with the
"opening" at the salmon pit, the stick
game shed and at the gambling itself.
There was plenty to eat and drink.
There were some restrictions at the
end, but couldn't be helped. Of course
without Zuanne Jarret, here supervi
sors and all of gaming staff we
couldn't have had as much fun as we
did. Thanks to everyone from myself
and our newly formed club "Starr
Gaming Club".
