The Oregon Department of Transportation has also occupied the area for office space and to store road mainlenancecquipmenl. Slowly, hut surely, the Confederated Tribes Of Warm Springs is getting Bear Springs back to be part of the reservation again. Warm Springs Police has taken the opportunity of acting on the situ ation and have taken steps by placing a resilient patrol position at Bear Springs. "We want to put a face in the area so that everyone (hunters, woodcutters, tourist, residents) will get familiar with the officer" says Chief Of Police Dan Kncale. "The officer we stationed at Bear Springs is officer Greg Stinson," says Kncale, "He's been with the Warm Springs Police Department for over two years." Officer Stinson is presently residing at Bear Springs and has been for the past two weeks. Stinson will have the responsibil ity of patrolling the Northwest por tion of the reservation including Sid waiter area, road 216, Highway 26 and reservation boundaries.

Wc have also applied for a $6(),(X)() federal grant that will be used to add a rescue unit, medical unit, and a public safety sub station for the Bear Springs area. "We arc very excited and feel positive about the whole thing," says Kncale. It's something that has been needed for a long time. If everything goes well with the Bear Springs project, we hope to place another sub-station in the Seeksecqua area.

A BIG thank you to those com munity volunteer readers who as sisted with the second year of SMART (Start Making A Reader Today). Without your assistance the SMART program would not be pos sible. I would like to encourage other community members to participate in SMART this upcoming fall. This program is conducted on Tuesdays and Thursdays, if you can spare at least 1 12 hour on cither day to read to a kindergarten, First or Second grader, it is a good way to generate interest in reading and also to make a new special friend. The more readers we have in the program, the more children can participate. You may have heard your child talking about mini-classes at school. This was fun for everyone who par ticipated, the staff members con ducted 1 hour classes and every stu dent at WSE was allowed to select from a list (we have some very tal ented people here at the grade school). This year we had 2 sessions and each student participated in two different classes. We had classes such as stamp art, juggling, balloon shapes, snacks, Spanish, cross stitching, computers, etc. It was so fun after it was over some of the kids kept asking "when do we have mini-classes again?" I would like to thank those parents & community members who took the time out of their busy day to attend an awards assembly, chaperon a field trip, attend a Christmasspring pro gram, called in to inform the school of absences, stopped in to pay lunch money, baked goodies for school par tiesactivities. If your child had the honor of at tending a Rose Garden Event, please take the time to perhaps send a thank you note to Tribal Council. This is a good incentive for our students to be rewarded with, it lets them know their accomplishments are important and noticed. I would like to encourage commu nity members to participate in the community "Education Summits", especially if you have concerns at the grade school, middle school or high school. With more community involvement we can send a message to our children that "Education Is Important" and that we care. I would like to thank JoDc Goudy for his farewell message to our fourth graders at the "Farewell Assembly", it was touching. Also thank you to our Johnson O'Malley Committee for the financial assistance to pur chase WSE logo t-shirts for our out going 4th graders, I know they trea sure their gifts. The following are to be thanked for their generosity in donating to all our activities here at the grade school. Whenever we had an activ ity here at the Grade School. When ever we had an activity these busi nesses & departments could be counted on to assist us. ...THANKS !

Warm Spring Elementary Summer Computer Lab & Open Library June 23rd -July 18th For more information call 553-1128 Success to All Young Nations In UNITY Youth Revival- From June 8to June 15 an All Young Nations In UNITY Youth Revival was held behind the Community Center where special guests made their appearance. The attendance was more than expected. People young and old came to the Full Gospel Revival tent to give testimony and to share the word of the Lord. It was such a surprise to see so many young people attend and participate. The participants were served breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even a midnight snack. The cooking was done by Warm Springs jail inmates that took time to cook because there was no one that wanted to volunteer to cook. Most of the youth stayed in a tent or teepee by the Revival tent. Four of the Native Gospel Posse (NGP) rapped in freestyle. The best testimony I heard was from a gentlemen who came from Montana. He gave a positive and encouraging testi mony and he made it especially interesting by having alot of motion during his testimony. He said "he was an Angel" and showed his wings by holding his ears toward the front as his wings. Most of the youth got saved. They had to move chairs out of the way so more people could come up and be saved. The Freedom Team did some exhibition shows of breaking bricks and skits while they were here. Most of the teenage youth put their tapes, CD's, and gang related items in a pile on the ground while the very youngest group of youth went up and jumped on the pile to break them up. After everything was done that night they put all the broke m items in the grill to make a bon fire out of it. Some of the daily activities was to go swimming at Kah-Nee-Ta, playing softball, and open gym. The singing part of the Youth Revival seemed like it was the most active out of everything that went on at the Revival because everyone got involved and most of everyone probably knew the songs or they got to know them real fast. Many were baptized on Saturday after noon. After most of the youth got baptized they decided to go swimming for awhile. Billy Jo and Wanda Berry did a excellent job of organizing the youth revival. It took a long time for them to f undraise for the event, invite all the groups, and to make sure each group had a place to stay, and to make daily plans for what they were going to do and the food order.
