been pari of the reservation for many
years, the U.S Forest service has al
ways had control of it. 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. This
project has already started and should
be completed two weeks after the Pi-Ume-Sha
celebration. "All we have
to do now is make sure that he is

mcnt to get the job done right. 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.
"Wc want to be able and serve the
community of Warm Springs as
promptly and professionally as pos
sible and still serve our guests on the
highway as well," concludes Police
Chief Kncale.

Another school year has come and
gone, it doesn't seem appropriate to
end the year without thanking every
one that helped make this year com
plete. 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 !

ers, do your best and good luck as

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.
