4 March 27, 1997 Warm Springs, Oregon SpilyayTymoo E Coosh EEWA: The way it is Yep! There's no getting IT 0 around it! Spring is springing up all around us, and once again the world is coming to life. Like they used to say in, "The Olden Day's, It's Green-Up Time." That's when all the farmers would get out and work their fields to plant crops for the coming year. Yep! After a pretty tough winter we had with snow, rain and freezing rain along with the cold sub-zero tcmpctures and floods it will be nice for a little change. A lot of roads have had extensive damage during the flooding we had and the Boy's from the Roads Department have been working very hard getting them back in usable condition. They have a lot of work to catch up on and if you roadway is not up to standards, be real "Cool," they'll get there when they are catching up. There may be a lot of empty sacks, but eventually they will get cought up. In the mean time the farmers are hard at it in their fields getting ready to plant crops. With the long cold winter the hay prices went sky high, as there was a real need for extra hay for the livestock. With the hay prices so high kinda makes one think of growing his own hay for next year. That would be a good solution for the shortage of hay. or would it? Considering the cost and time it takes to work the fields and to top it all many have full time job? to keep and farming can be a full time job in it's self. There are a few part-time farmers around here who have everyday jobs, but they have all the good equipment that it takes to work fields beside holding a full time job. If a person does not have adequate equipment than it costs to hire out for someone to do partial jobs for the hay grower. So does it pay to be a part time farmer. Again there some who just enjoy doing farm work because they did it with their fathers while growing up even if its profitable or not. It's just a good feeling to be out in the fields. Speaking of saving in areas for feed and stuff, it would really pay if a person had all the necessary equipment he needs in order to save a couple of bucks. Yep!:A real farmers day is from daylight to dark and even at that there isn't enough time for some farmers. "Well so much for farmers." This is the time of the year when a lot of things take place, some peopledigout their golf clubs. Just like this lady after taking her first lesson in golf, she came home all proud of her self. She told her husband, after one day she could throw her club just as far as the Pros. Well it will be great to be able to do things out of doors again. Dogs Need Licenses On The Res. "Dog Gone," Well, information being sent out to all dog owners that the Tribes are going to start enforcing the dog ordinance (Ordinance 36) the first of May. What it means is that any dog over the age of 6 months must be licensed and must have a current rabies vaccination (current through October 3 1 of this year.) Dogs that are unlicensed will be removed from the Community. There will be a vaccination clinic held April 5, from z:uu to 5:00 p.m. Dogs can be licened on this date ore after this date, dogs can obtain their licensee tags form the police department. The Madras Animal Hospital is going to run a certification fro people with animals that are currently certified so that the information will be on hand on the 5th and also at the police department. So later if you dog does not have shots or licensee he may be "Dog Gone." Children learn by watching do's & don't's To the editor, Hello from Pastor Rick. Last week my little girl riding the school bus to Madras looked across the isle out the windows. .An older Indian girl thought she was looking at her. The older girl said to my daughter, "What arc you looking at you white ! ! !" Now what is interesting to me is that my daughter is a mix of Indian, Black, Turkish and 18 other. Her facial bone structure and skin color docs not say "white". It says a woman of color. Now please be not too alarmed by this event, it happens off and on all the time to her and to other children. My question is who taught this oldergirl to look at someone else Thank you for letter To the editor, We arc writing this letter about a letter in your last Spilyay Tymoo that our AuntieGrandmother Neda Wesley put in.

You know as adults on the reser vation wc all are the teachers of our youth. They learn from us by what we say or by what we don't say about an issue, they learn from us by what we do or by what we don't do. The learning never stops; there is no sum mer time break or after hour school time. When you say, "It servers them right!". What is the lesson that you give your child. I believe we as the teachers teach with a house paint brush and not with a fine small brush that gives detail. Is it right for an Indian child to have such anger in side of them? Is it right for an Indian child to become pregnant at the age of 13? Is it right for a child to learn that culture is to do opposite of an other culture (a little girl told me the other day that Indians don't wear bike helmets). Now, about this time you are agreeing with me or you are mad at me for talking about Indians.. .I'm sure if I lived in a Spanish commu nity or Asian community, I would be seein? and hearing the same svstem Again, who are the teachers?

When I can show you all my love, In each and every way. To feel the closeness of your mind, your body and your heart. How I love to feel this way, Before each morning starts. Our minds will penetrate the walls all lovers seem to build. Our mingled bodies lost in time, and passions all fulfilled. I need to feel your tender touch. the depths of conscious souls. The pleasure that is meant to be. When two halves are made one whole. Excitement of my moistened limbs. And minds lost in desire. Concentrating on a point. Where each can reach no higher. And when dawn breaks, we share the dreams, that dime wiihin our souls. But in the shadow of the day Once more, love is our only goal. From vour wife Nikki Charlev
