'fHf I Spilyay Tymoo Warm Springs, Oregon 4 November 5, 1998 E Coosh EEWA: Vie way it is We work on our budgets each year, each year we are instructed to cut so many per cent of our last years budget. Its getting to the point where we can't cut anymore in order to operate at a moderate level. Makes one feel that he should have padded his budget just al little deeper in the past. I'm sure if this was foreseen in the past most of the budgets would have been padded sufficiently to stand the cuts today. Most of the big corporations look to please their employees because the better vou treat your people the better results you will have in personal performance. You don' t hear of corporations having their departments cut their budgets. They see to it they at least get a cost of living advance each year. The economic condition is blamed for our lack of better budgeting for each department. Our Natural Resources are depleting on a rapid scale to where we have to look into other areas for income for our tribe. We have depended on our timber resources so long that its getting to the point where we don't have any more large timber to harvest. Our power industry cannot carry the load. So we have to seek revenue from other sources. At the present time we are facing a decision on the future of our gaming establishment here in Warm Springs. It is quite certain that we will have an election on what we should do about the future of our gaming establishment. At the present time it is located at the Resort at Kahneeta, and now we are experiencing a lack of space for and the location is not too favorable to bring in better income for the tribes. We are having studies made on relocating our gaming establishment to a more populated area and the most promising site is down at Hood River, OR. Where we have some trust lane along the 1-84 freeway that runs east to west along the Columbia River. A site such as this would surly be suitable for a gaming establishment. Many local residents are objecting to a gaming establishment there, however it is these same group that objected ; against the wind surfers' when they were moving in there. Since they have moved in the economic condition has improved. They were even opposed to having Wal Mart build up there. But since these things have came in there it has improved condition all around. A casino would improve the job situation there as it would imploy two to three hundred people or more. The next thing is to present it to our own people for their in-put on the situation. It is pretty well known what the intentions are and many feel that it's to far to go to gamble, but it's not for us to support the gaming hall. They say no one will relocate to work there but who does really stick to a job that has odd hours and week-ends. No one likes to work while everyone else is off on the week-ends. People say, "Why don't we have an all tribal member staff. It sounds good but when you do give anyone a chance the first thing they do is miss days and anyone can tell you that you cant operate a business short handed. It costs even if a person misses a day of work. Just like a car it won't run if even a small part goes haywire. Everything has to be in operating order for a car to run. That's the same with a business everyone must be on the job at all times to make any kind of income. I've seen it many times when people are given a chance for a good position but what do they do.. .the first thing they miss and lose their job and than they start griping about non-Indians having jobs where they should be. It's the same all the time People just don't want the responsibility of having to work on the week-ends, holidays or odd hours.. Some non Indians are not worth a darn but they are always present on the job. Some day we will have people like that hopefully. AAH-N AH-CHI-TOON ! ! !

Happy B-Lated Birthday to those spooky Tw ins June & Juliane from J'Von, KyeOwna & Ollie Love is a powerful emotion To the editor, Hello from Pastor Rick. Hey, I read a neat story the other day from the Bible about Israel having its back against the wall. The bad guys had come to town in order to put the king in his place and the kingdom in their pocket. And the Lord heard the prayer of the prophet Elisha. Now what is neat is that the bad guys did not get thumped. They got temporary blinded and were moved to another town. Here instead of being hurt, they were given their sight and a good meal. Then were told to go home; which they never to return as raiders of a nation. Love is an interesting power when you are full of anger, fear, distrust and hate. It takes the emotions of wanting someone hurt or someone to go away and let us have our life the way we want it. It takes those emo tions and changes them into emo tions of pity, hope and charity for the other guy. That is of course you let love in and have it's way with your life. Pray for those who you believe In loving memory,dedicated to parents To the editor. Please print this poem in the next Spilyay. It is dedicated to the parents of the late Jessica Sanders. "I'll land you for awhile, a child of mine," God said. "For you to love her while she lives and mourn when she's dead. It may be for one or two years or maybe twenty two or three, But, will you, till I call her back, take care of her for me? She'll bring her charm and glad den you, and may her stay be brief. You'll have her memories as so lace for your grief. I cannot promise she will stay long, since all from earth returns. But, there are lessons to be taught down here I want this child to learn.

The tribes have the new 911 system that is a part of 911 all over America. What I learned is that when you now dial 911, there is a 5 to 7 second time period when all of the phone com puters talk to each other about the location of the phone call. Then the dispatcher gets the ring on their end. So when you call 9 1 1 , let it ring, help will be on the way. Everyone is invited to the pro grams of the Warm Springs Presby terian Church. Christian Education at 10 a.m. Worship at 11 a.m. on Sundays, Youth study on Tuesday nights from 7 to 8 p.m. from seventh grade to high school Women's group on Wednesday nights from 6 to 8 p.m. Finally, one day at a time. Wear your seatbelts in your car. Don't let the kids get to alcohol or tobacco products. Rev. Rick. R. Ribeiro, WS Presbyterian Church-on the campus I've looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true, and from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you. Now, will you give her all your love nor think the labor vain? Nor hate me when I come to call, to take her back again. I fancied that I heard her parents say, "Dear Lord, thy will be done, for all the joy the child will bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter her with tenderness, we'll love her while we may, And for the happiness we have known, forever grateful we'll stay." "But shall the angels call her much sooner than we've planned, we'll brave the bitter grief and try to understand."
