4 November 7, 1996 Warm Springs, Oregon Spilyay Tymoo iStliS Ty E Coosh EEWA: The way u is We need a 1 500 bed medium security prison here in Central Oregon like we need a hole in the head. We have thriving communities here that are handling the slow growth as the population is increasing all across the country. The economic situation here is growing right along with the population and is holding its own. Not too fast or slow but just keeping up with the growth. Now there is talk of building a prison here near Madras, and the way things look officials are deciding things before hand and to present it to the citizens in the area with out their in-put to the matter. There are points both pro and con as to why there should be a prison built here. Many argue that it would be harmful to the local residents and schools. Some say it would boost the economic conditions here in Central Oregon. The prison would bring in about 500 jobs if it is built here and an increase of the population at a very rapid pace. Where would these people live because of housing shortage with-in the area is critical at the present time. There are already people on' the waiting lists for housing in the area. Most of the appartments are full at the present time. One of the largest employers here is the Bright wood Mill with employees in search for apartments to live in. With the population as it is now and with the ever growing population the schools are becoming over crowded also even with the new Middle school just opened on the east side of Madras. Schools all over in the area are becoming over crowded makes one wonder where would all the new kids fit in with the coming of the prison. Another major concern to many is the safety of the local residents from the escaped convicts in the area. With sites in question would be near the school and could be very unsafe for the children. You don' t know what to expect from a person who might be on the run. They could be very dangerous, by taking hostages and this usually ends up by someone losing their life. Distinction to property, stealing of vehicles and other properties. Just recently an article in the paper reported by individuals who have moved to this area because they wanted to get away form living next to a prison. They experienced damage to their porperty losing a vehicle and it was damaged and when they tried to get reimbursed for the repairs the state refused to offer any assistance, so they had to suffer the consequences themselves. Those who are in favor of building a prison here are probably those who will never have to live next to the establishment and will never experience these conditions of property loss and damage, or have to face the safety factors of someone losing their life to one of those escaped convicts. I believe everything should be thourly discussed with all who are of concern, the residence other organizations and just everyone before anything is decided one way or the other. Everyone needs a fair shake and should have their say on something like this. Annual Veteran's Day Powwow will not be held this year To the editor, The Ike family is sad to announce that we will not continue with the Veteran's Day Powwow due lo family financial hardship. We extend our undying respect and love for our men and women veteran's and their service to our people and ourcountry. It is our hope the recognition we sought for these veteran's reflected the love and respect of all our people, attending visitors and dancers. Our grandfather was killed in action in World War II and with his death, we lost all opportunity to know him. However, the gathering to pay respect to veteran's at the Veteran's Day Powwow, gave everyone comfort and pride. Not only to our family, but to many who lost loved ones in past wars. Also, to those families who were grateful to the safe return of their peace time veteran's. We want to voice our utmost gratitude to the Tribes for past financial sponsorship and all other sponsors. We also want to express our gratitude to our elders who gave us guidance and support. In addition, we thank all our veteran's and their families for their participation.

It's time to reflect, respect, coming season is new song Thanks Danny & Phil To the editor, On behalf of theSimnasho goblins we would like to publicly thank Danny Martinez and Phil for allowing us to use the Simnasho Firehall for our Halloween party. We appreciated all the grandparents, parents, uncles and aunties for coming to share time with us. We had a good time bobbing for apples, cake walking, busting balloons and scooting our booties around. Thanks again for making our party fun for all. Sincerely, Simnasho parents Radio-Thon rescheduled Ballot Measure 34 As the voting is all over and the new term will start its trend toward the twenty first century, we will carry on with everyday life trying to better the future for the younger generations.. With all the Oregon Ballot Measues taken care of there is one that's on my mind and that's measure 34, Bear, cougar hunting. The measure fell during election 65 to 35. The measure would repeal a 1994, ban on hunting cougars or bears with bait or dogs.. They go from one extreme to the other, why couldn't there be a clause in the issue of pest and property protection. There has been a lot of Cougars seen near school grounds and if the law was spelled out to meet these crises of protection and safety on killing cougars I feel this would seem to be the matter and not to turn hunters loose for pleasure of just killing these animals. If an animal poses harm to anyones family or property than he would have the right to kill the animal, and not go hog wild about the whole situation, using dogs and bait to kill these animals.

At the meeting not one mentioned what they would offer the tribe or what they would like to learn about the Indian ways of the Warm Springs, they just wanted what the tribe has. They just dug their ancestors out of their graves and said "they are my family". There was no respect for them. They go out and marry outside of tribes, non-Indians, that was their choice. They made their bed, they could lie in it.
