Not always, since this inter rupts the flow of the story. It's also frustrating for kids. Instead, wait a moment-then call out the word your self. It's more important for her to enjoy the story.

Spilyay Tnawa Mishk'aau (Spilyay asks "Whats Up?") What type of new business do you feel is needed in Warm Springs and whiz? Mary Sando-Emhoolah, "The businesses I'd like to see for our community are all of the services we utilize, Banks, Dr.'s, Car Dealerships, Shopping Centers Etc. We could further simplify our lives by having these services available locally and provide more job and business op portunities for our community." Carol Stevens, "We need a Bank, so that we are able to cash checks and do all our banking needs without leaving Warm Springs. With over 3,300 people in Warm Springs, we need to keep and circulate our money on the Reservation. Going to Madras is always so time consuming. 1 I f V f it - "V ' 1 L.

MM' nimminnmi. inTiinnlt mm Roger Stwyer,"We need a car dealer (DMV licensed). Everyone drives a car but must travel and spend time searching for the car to buy. An insurance agency would be beneficial. A store, Post Office, and child care is needed in the Simnasho area. More businesses geared towards younger people. Such as a bowling ally, (quality) Pizza parlor, theater, and musicstereo store. Whatever money we spend Off-Reservation, a potential market exists here on the Reservation from those businesses. Also, we need to start developing elsewhere besides in Warm Springs. Perhaps Miller Flat or Sidwalter ar eas. The money earned here should be spent here, benefiting the com munity, rather than lining others pockctbooks. V f heavy metal show Saturday, May 2, in Warm Springs. The show will start at 9 p.m. at the Warm Springs Community Center Social Hall. The show will be free of charge and all ages are welcome. DOD members include Warm Springs tribal members (brothers) Sun Dancers Danny Martinez, "We need an Employee Credit Union, to serve employees and to provide loans. A Credit Union would promote incen tive and allow money in Warm Springs to circulate. It would also assist people to establish their own business on the Reservation. Emma Smith, "We are speaking of legit businesses right?! Our community really needs a dependable laundry-mat with large and small washing machines and dependable small and large dryers and that is open. A dry cleaning business would be nice, to be added on to a local laundry-mat. Our young people need a building to hang at, a place that has their kind of music, pool tables, video ma chines, snacks, a place to mingle and hopefully this will help them stay away from hanging at places like partying parking lots or party houses. Their place should be a Tribal Enterprise that hires only responsible young adults, plus it needs to be located within walking dis tance.

We need a Souvenir shop, one large build ing, so that all Indian artists can display and sell their artwork, jewelry, or cre ations, even a T-shirt shop with Warm Springs logos. A Florist shop is needed with all outdoor plants, wood and rocks we have on our Reservation, someone could create beautiful and unique flower displays! Bullons included with our Language written on them! A photo but ton booth, "Take your picture with a real Indian" type of thing! And if someone could have a "Rent Lawn Equipment" this would help 'spiffy' up our commu nity. You know this is needed especially since Housing has no motivation to keep up lawns which 1 would like to add, if they want to charge Tribal rents, com pared to the outside ApartmentsCom plexesHomes, then they really need to keep up the maintenance of these places and quit letting the regular maintenance people milk the job! There are so many business opportunities. I would like to add, why should ourcommunity feel any remorse towards bettering ourselves, our surrounding communities didn't! And really all it boils down to is taking care of business! Lets jump into their game be fore it's too late! Like I said before, if we don't take care of our own, no one else will!" 4
