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

Who is the teacher???
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

To my husband Robert Charley, Sr.
I long to spend the time with you,
In the shadow of the day.
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
