4 January 30, 1997 Warm Springs, Ori:con Spilyay iymoo E Coosh EEWA: The way it is Can you imagine two Ice q 0 Rain storms in one month? Well it happened here causing haz ardous driving conditions for local motorists, and causing school to cancel classes in the 509-J school district. Some high school athletic activities have been put on hold and re-scheduled for another date. Yep! Never saw this much freezing rain in one season around here. The freezing rain followed a heavy snow storm over the last week-end where several inches of snow was dumped covering the whole countryside. Now can you imagine what might follow? Maybe a little flooding. Well lets hope it don't flood because we've already had our feet wet once this year. Not only did the motorists have difficulty getting around, it was equally as bad for those afoot. Several spills by individuals on the slick icy surface on the sidewalks and pathways. Yep! we've all had our ups and downs slipping down. I've had my share of spills from the slick sidewalks. Yep! I really hit hard on my North end when I was going south.. I decided to look for chains for my shoes, fortunately I was lucky and found some at the Western Auto Store in madras. A pair of cleats that I buckle on my shoes, so now I can walk on any icy surface with out having to worry of slipping down.. Some of those spills I took hurt pretty bad, worst than being bucked off a bronc. Well we still have a couple of months of Winter yet to go so this might just be a start. So be extra careful while out in this weather and I hope you don't bounce on your North Side.

A special comment was made by one of our elder committee mem bers, Mr. Tom Begay. On how great it was to see all these teams playing 40-Over and keeping themselves in great condition. Because most tour naments are for young men and kids. That he was glad to put this memo rial 40-Over Tourney on. So the par- group. Hven though some still play against the younger generation yet and is in favor or making this an annual event. A chance for every body to get together each year, slack ing up memories.

Prep basketball in the state is on the down ward trend toward the finals in each district before all the play-offs start, and the winners on to State. This year the 3-A class basketball tourna ment will be held in the Chiles Center at the University of Portland, in March. As each week passes by all sports minded folks have their eye on the weekly rating polls. Just recently the Madras White Buffaloes were rated No. 4, and they worked their way up to No. 2, behind Douglas. Douglas was upset and lost a game and that put the Buffaloes in the No 1 , spot in the state. And for two weeks now the Buffaloes have been rumbling over the state as the No. 1, team, as voted by the AP polls. The Madras White Buffaloes earned their right to the No. 1, spot with convincing wins over The Dalles Indians by the score of 83-60, and rolling past the Gladstone Glasiators 81-58, to receive the No. 1, spot for the second week in a row now. What does the No. 1 , ranking do for a team? Well for sure all the schools will be looking for that big chance to knock off the No, 1, team in the state. Yep! After hanging around long enough the White Buffaloes finally made it to the top in the weekly ratings. Being No. 1 , can have its effects on a team. It puts pressure on the boys to hold that position each week, and all the school will be looking for that big chance to down the No. 1, team in the state. Not every school has that chance to become the most voted for team in the state, which is a great honor for the players and the towns people and parents are proud of their team. "Good Luck" for the rest of the season Buffaloes!! "Happy Birthday Cowgirls" Sheila, Cinda, Winona, Mariel It's time to Cowboy up! Us cowboys and some of the family kin are sending and wishing you cowgals a very special day, along with a whole bunch of huts, kisses and lotsa love... Sign, Jacob Frank Stables & Broncs Reminder to love those who love you their wedding. They heard the words "in sickness and in health" and started To the editor, Hello from Pastor Rick, how about a devotion.... A well dressed couple and beauti ful flowers. Marshall and Stephanie promised their love to each other for life. Guests released helium balloons when the couple left the church. It was a wonderful wedding. But just hours after the decora tions were gone, the groom came down with the flu. In the middle of the night Stephanie went to find medi cation for Marshall. She stayed up all night caring for him. When Marshall felt better, they watched a video of laughing. "I didn't realize how soon I'd be tested on that promise," said Stephanie. "Maybe what happened to us is a better picture of a good marriage than any wedding picture feeling what the other one feels, tak ing care of each other no matter what. " Just as Stephanie shared in Marshall's sickness, Gos is so close to his people that he hurts when they hurt. Look up Isaiah 63:7-9. This was a reminder to love those who love you.... See you in church. Rev. Rick R. Ribeiro (WS Presbyterian Church) with us on this special day to honor my mother. Again thank you to all the family and friends. Without everyone's help and support the me morial would not have been as suc cessful.
