SpilyayTymoo Warm Springs, Oregon 4 September 10, 1993 i tvrf 4i E Coosh EEWA: m way u is Controversy over the Salmon and SteelheadmnsintheCoIumbiaRiver Basin is causing uneasiness among all who are opposed to the Indian gill netting in the River. All the organizations feel the tribes have no right to continue to catch salmon and sell to the public. One of the main concerns is, why should all the money spent on the Salmon recovery in the Columbia River Basin and allow commerical harvest on the endangered fish. The salmon runs have been dwindling down all along every since all the dams have been built in the rivers. The States of Washington and Oregon are always trying to restrict the Indian fishing, even though there was that court case U.S. vs Oregon, that established the tribal fishing ri&hts. Everything seems to point toward the Indian fishermen especially during the issue that the Salmon are an endangered species. No mention of the Dams, Russian, and Japanese, and other Ocean fishermen who take more than their share. No, it's the Indian fishermen who are taking all the fish. They don't seem to realize the Commerical Fishermen m the lower Columbia River have first crack at catching the fish also. Yep ! with all that greed, the Tribes have to fight for what s rightfully theirs in court battles. The Tribes must stick together and make it known they have every right to fish and take salmon. Has there ever been a wealtly Indian fishermen come away from the River? All Tribes fish for subsistence and livelihood and not to become millionaires. Yep! Just like anything else it costs plenty to get the equipment to go and catch some salmon and even when sold they don't come out way ahead. Sometimes they just break even on paying for everything they need to be a fishermen. Many years ago in the Fall time when the big run came up the Columbia there were fish all over the place. Fish jumping all over the pools below the falls. Fish would try to go up any waterway even if it were just a few inches deep . Those were the days when a fishermen could catch his limit in no time at all.

Kids all getting settled for another school year. The past couple of weeks the stores were pretty ousy ana me ciuuuug w 6...6 pretty bare as school shopping was at it's peak. Yep! The Emporium, Mier and Frank, Wal Mart, Target and all the department stores had their share of school shoppers. One time I used to look forward to the opening of school after what I thought was a long tough summer. In them days we used to work in the Agriculture fields to earn money for school, and that was tough work. Sore knees and aching back in the hot sun, but it was great when pay day came around. During the month of august seemed like the pay uay uaiuw aivuuu, o longest month in the year, just counting the days until the school would It was good to get back for school, see old school friends, girl friends and stuff. Always curious to see what the next grade would be like. A new year, new grade, new teacher, "New Girl," (aye). Well, the start of the new year was always interesting. School days always bring out school sports of football, cross country, volley ball and soccer. The madras White Buffaloes are in the Tri VaIleyConference,whichincludestheEstacadaRangers,Sherwood Bowmen, LaSalle Falcons. The Dalles Indians, Madras White Buffaloes, and the Wilsonville Wild cats. This year the league lost the Gladstone Gladiators to the 4-A ranks and now they are in the Three River Conference. Also lost Portland Christian to the 2-A and are now in the Northwest League. Could be an interesting year. A AH-N AHCHI-TOON ! ! ! Toe Prisoner: Judge, I don't know what to Judge: Why, how's that? Prisoner "I swore to tell the truth, but Objects."

Senior trip enjoyed by all, in spite of gossip To the editor, If you were, by chance, one of the victims here who was subjected to the wild, wild, irresponsible and slan derous chit chat about a brawl amongst our elders who recently went to the National Aging Conference at Bismark, North Dakota, please rest assured that those stories were noth ing but a lot of baloney! Obviously, everyone who was retelling the BIG LIE added some of their own version to juice it up more. This rumor spread and grew faster than that wildfire we had on the reservation, last year, which caused so much destruction and grief. It is amazing (to me) that so many people in the community actually believed such a falsehood about our seniors. It seems to show that some people will quickly believe such tables, but win go mio sen aemai about the alcohol & drug abuse prob- 7 Tu 7 jT Ti0iirc in 32ffJSfi& the community, spouse abuse, elder, ,ing to bite Jhe other one s ear.

It became a "we don't do that" fight. "Them or us" was the final theme. It is amazing how in the life of kids you see the greater community live out its life. "Them or us". I see it all over the reservation. Different groups talking about others. Examples, police and bad guys, Fireman ana nre siariers. Loggers and the mill. One tribe and another tribe.

Kalan & Devon August 27th Happy Birthday Kosie Sam, Robyne & kids To the Tribal Council, Management, Springs community 1 attcr in tht editor I would like to take this opportu nity to thank all of you for your friendship, help and support of the environmental health programs since I started in 1 99 1 . As some of you are aware, I have been transferred to the Yakima Service Unit. Regretfully, my last day with Warm Springs will be on August 21. Together we have accomplished many good programs for the Warm Springs Community. While I am concerned that the pro grams that have been started will not be completed if the Tribes does not act to hire another sanitarian in timely manner, I know that the community has appreciated and supported the programs in the past and will con tinue to show their support. tun tifilnerO. and five of our senior services staff went on this ten day trip to Bismark. We chartered a bus from RAZ Transportation Company, and also took our small senior's van. Everyone, except myself, used the transportation which was provided. I was on leave prior to the trip, so used my personal vehicle to go to the conference site, and returned to Warm Springs late the night before our group got back. The first thing I heard early the next morning was, "Did you hear about our seniors who went to Bismark?" Tht Hf nw went something like this (other pprsnn speaking); My inside source told me that, "When our seniors were on the trip back to Oregon in that big fancy, luxury bus, I guess it was somewhere in Montana, they all got into a big fight! It started with two of the la dies. They were really into it just like Tyson and Hollytield. une was iry- selves. And of the three the worst is nnrsp.lves. We are the ones that allow the devil to tempt, and the world to push us. "Them or us" is a very old condition. Adam and Eve. Cain and Abel etc. The answer to deal with condition of "them or us" is older. The cross of Jesus Christ reaches the rim rocks of both sides. The bridge stands firm and ready for anyone to cross it and to meet "them or us" at the middle with Jesus there to help. So I ask everyone if you begin to slip into "them or us" thinking, stop for a moment and check where you are at on the bridge of love and peace.

Some of these programs have now been taken over by the Tribal organization such as the recycling and solid waste programs. Others have yet to be in corporated into the Tribal organiza tion and it is these programs which I am concerned. There are also many programs that have yet to be done such as the water quality and quantity program which I han planned on starting to help us better plan where subdivi sion and housing areas should built. These are important programs and I The smaller ladv oromDtlv eave the men karate chops and karate kicks, then everyone on the bus started to battle each other. The bus driver ran off the road when he was trying to stop the bus. After stopping, he called the police. Some of the seniors had to get treated by EMTs, and some had to be hauled off to jail." All of this gossip is totally untrue! The story has been treated as a laugh ing matter. Our seniors enjoyed the trip. They went to the conference sessions, and met many of the 1,800 people who were in attendance. Please talk with any of our seniors who went to Bismark. They will gladly tell you their feelings about the trip and this stupid rumor. Thank you. E. Greeley, Director Senior's Department Greetings sent To the editor, Greetings from Nevada! ! Hi ya'll !
