Since the sun is shinning
and it's bright out side maybe
we all feel a bit on the up and
up side of things.
Like that Ole saying goes,
"Sticks and Stones may hurt
my bones, but Words will
never Harm me." Well going
back to the last issue of the
Spilyay Tymoo where I
mentioned several issues we
should be watching out for and
how to run a business. Well
I'm glad someone give's me a
bad time on issues raised ,
which means someone is
reading what is mentioned in
those articles. The only thing
is they take it to heart and
make it as though I'm trying to
run the reservation instead of settling down and reasoning things
out to realize these are just things we should be preparing
ourselves to watch out for and to get with their representatives
that they are concerned about.
There are several issues that do need special attention but
there are those who never participate in tribal affairs in attending
or speaking up at general meetings or turn out to vote during
tribal elections. If they are not satisfied with what is elected into
the tribal council they have no grounds to stand on because they
didn't participate during the elections. There are always negative
feelings about the out come of tribal elections which could have
been different if they had participated, so it their own fault for not
getting out to vote. The only time many can be heard is when they
don ' t receive a Bonus Check. Many have the attitude of, "What' s
the use, they already have their minds made up, why should I
vote on those matters." That's the wrong attitude to have because
this is your show and things could be different if you would fully
participate right along with the other members of the tribe.
There are things that do need re-alignment in our Organization
to keep a firm structure. We boast of being a reservation of great
quality and I'm sure we are if weiend to business in the right
way. At the present time there are other reservations who are
doing very well for themselves by doing business in a business
like manner.
There are some reservations who at one time had no means of
income, but once they got on their feet they are doing very well
and are beginning to provide well for their tribal members with
education,, Homes, employment etc. They are now in a position
to offer their members better opportunities such as scholarships,
for students, employment is improving, their health benefits
have improved, their employment situation is on an up swing
and all of this comes from careful planning and decision making
by all tribal members as a whole. They appreciate what they have
and are making progress to a brighter future.
Some have learned the hard way from experiencing the
hardships of having their reservation come to an end during the
day's of termination. They struggled for years and finally had
their tribes re-established for Federal Recognition once again.
Yep! the days of termination set a lot of tribes way back and
it' s hard to get back on one' s feet after an experience such as that.
We are fortunate to have had leaders who fought against
termination to keep our reservation in tact, even though those
dollar signs looked very tempting. Just think what could a person
do with 30-40 thousand dollars.: Well many reservations ended
up with that kind of dollars which didn't last very long for some
people.
I believe if we keep our "Cool," and not bicker among each
other and watch what we do we will be on the right track for a
while. "AHH-NAH-CHI-TOON! !

Walking into the bar, Harvey said to the bartender. " Pour me a stiff
one, Eddie. I just had another fight with the little woman."
"Oh yeah?" Eddie said. "And how did this one end."
"When it was over," Harvey replied, "my wife came to me on her
hands and knees,"
"Really?" Now there's a switch! What did she say."
"She said, 'Come out from under that bed, you gutless weasel!"
YIKES

After being arrested for robbery, This guy hired the best lawyer in
town.
"Look," the crook said, "I've got nearly a million in cash in my bank
box. Can you get me off?"
The lawyer said, "Believe me, pal, you'll never go to prison with that
kind of money." '
And sure enough he didn't. He went to prison flat broke. YIKES

Approaching the woman at a singles' bar, the young man said, "Hi,
cookie. How about a date?"
"Forget it," she said. "I never go out with perfect strangers.
"We're both in luck," he said. "I'm far from perfect." YIKES

What is normal?...
t tu Aitn second thin
To the editor.
- Hello from Pastor Rick. I had a
thought. What happens when a com
munity has a steady stream of death
throughout the year? What becomes
normal thinking? What becomes nor
mal living? Warm Springs lost about
one percent of tribal members last
year. Most towns, and cities do not
nave one percent population loss. If ,
Bend, Oregon lost one percent in one
year, it would be on CNN, and every
newspaper in America. What is a
normal world that has a high death
rate? What comes to mind is a long
term war. War brings a steady stream
of grief, depression, sadness, and
worst of all a slow process of the
hardening of the heart. A process
that happens to everyone in order to
protect yourself from the steady in
jection of pain that death brings to
life. Now, what can Warm Springs
do? First thing is to stop a hardened
heart. Love softens all hard material.
So love someone who needs love.
Help someone who needs help. The ,

second thing that you do is tough
love. That means say sometning .
The hardened heart says "It's their
life, it's their decision". Wrong...a
part of being a community is that
your joy is my joy, your pain is my
pain. Warm Springs is a community
that needs more tough love.
Say something. Tell someone you
love to go get help. Go to Treatment
for the addiction. Go and get help for
your anger. Say "Do something to
change". Become a loving pain in the
side of someone you love. A rela
tionship with God brings changes to
our life. Why not a community hav
ing a relationship with God to bring
changes across all of Warm Springs.
Also, on February 1, at 7 p.m. at
the Warm Springs Presbyterian
Church we will show a film from the
Billy Graham Program. It is called
"Scars that Heal" - The life of Dave
Rovever. Everyone is welcome. See
you in church.

blinding him in his right eye and
deafening his right ear. Nearly half
of his face and chest were gone.
Roever's amazing testimony
about not only his physical recov
ery, but his emotional and spiritual
healing is one of the most dramatic
you may ever see or hear. Through
the faithfulness of God and the lov
ing support of his wife, Brenda, he
has experienced a restoration so com
plete that his message has been heard
around the world. A message that
can bring healing for the deep emo
tional, mental and spiritual scars tor
menting today's generation.
SCARS THAT HEAL shares this
unforgettable true story through
Dave Roever's own words. While
on the outside, he remains scarred
from the grenade, he says, "My soul
is not scarred. My spirit is not patched
together...I'm proud of my scars and
stripes. Maybe my life hasn't been
easy but these scars tell a story."
SCARS THAT HEAL is a brand
new documentary-style film with
dramatic reenactments from World
Wide Pictures, the motion picture
ministry of the Billy Graham Evan
gelistic Association.
Pastor Rick and the members of
the Warm Springs Presbyterian
Church would like you to attend this
