4 February 12, 1998 Warm Springs, Oregon SpilyayTymoo E Coosh EEWA: Tlie way it is Been a "Bug", going around and many people have been "Under the Weather", as they say. It has hit this area quite severly and several employees have been absent from work because of Illness. I was mixed up with the "Bug," and had to stay home for a few days, and man it really hit hard. This was the first time I've been that sick in many a years, or in a Coons Age... I felt so terrable I cannot describe in words. At one time I thought I was going to die, and again at times I wished I would have, it was that bad. To describe something like this for me would be like comparing things like probably all of you have had that real bad hangover after that big New Years Party, and you thought the world was coming to an end. Well, that's the way I felt only add on the terrable sickness to go with it. I felt so sick that this bad hangover was a big relief in comparison. Yep! I felt weak, feverish, and my bones ached and was just misurable. Tried laying on my back and seems like the room would go into a spin, tried laying on my side but things didn't help much eather. My chest was all tight and coughing to the point where it hurt to cough after a while as my side became real sore, and at one point my nose started to run away and even if I went. "Sniff," my nose wouldn't stop from running. And those nice tears from all this is no pleasure also. Yep! I felt so bad that even if Bo Derek went walking by with out a stitch of clothes on I'd never have paid any attention, well, maybe I might have had a little peek. I began to wonder, What did I do to deserve all this? Started making promises I'd never do bad things, never say bad things and just hope everyone is fine all the time. Anything to get rid of this bad cold I had. Even those things didn't help much it just took time to heal things over, but I thought it wouldn't pass and that better times were far out of reach. The end never looked fo far away when a person is laying in bed hoping for all that unpleasant feeling to go away. The doc told me at first, that I'd better go home and take it easy for a couple of days, boy I thought I'll get to watch TV 'N' Stuff like that, so I hurries home but after a while the TV about drove mc out of my wits. Even food didn't set good or help much as anything I ate I had no taste of it at all, but today I feel pretty chipper and hope I can stay healthy cauz that feeling is nothing I want again for a long, long time again. I even had a flu shot this year. War On Drugs Today its possible for anyone to get his hands on drugs, even in the lower grade schools kids can get drugs reports show. It seems like the more people talk against drugs the more the sales are around the country. People just don't learn or pay any attention to the drug laws across the country. There are all kinds of meetings against drugs on what it can do to people but still they want to use the stuff. What's with the youth of today, do they have consideration on what can happen to them for using drugs. Must make them feel like they are big shots using drugs.. Some dare others to use the stuff and if they don't they call them sissies and stuff like that. Even the drug dealers continue to distribute drugs to minor children even though they know how stiff the penalty is. Read in a news paper once where in China they cought some drug dealers selling drugs to the public. They tried them and than executed them. Maybe thats what they should do around here when they catch drug dealers. Put them away for a long, long time. That might slow them down a little. Even here in Warm Springs I'm sure many know who the drug dealers are who should be punished for dealing with drugs, but no one will come forward to tell who it is that sells drugs,. Maybe they should do like they did in China execute them..."Line them up and shoot them down like dogs." Heard that line in a movie one time about bad guys. It is quite common now days for 6th and 7th graders to have drugs at school and can get drugs when ever they want to. Yep! We need Drugs like we need a hole in the head. AHH-NAH-CHI-TOON!!! Toe Ness There was this guy who was having lunch with his friend and said: "My wife says either I give up Golf or she's leaving me." Friend: "What are you going to do?" "Well," he said, "At first I'll Miss He." YIKES SS SS It is said, "If you can smile when things go wrong, than you must have someone in mind to blame."

This is going to be one of my little bit of everything letter to Warm Springs. I went to the open forum meeting last week for members of the com munity. The issues were of leader ship, jobs and the future of Warm Springs. After sitting in and listen ing, I want to ask the people of Warm Springs to get more involved in the planning of the future of the commu nity. Sometimes this kind of meeting is seen as a political move of one person, one family, or clan to get what they want from tribal govern ment. There are greater issues that will effect the community beyond the wants of one family. Issues that could change the direction of the three tribes. So Warm Springs, get involved. On March 5, 1998, we will have a Red Cross Blood Drive at the Warm Springs Presbyterian Church.
