Warm Springs, Oregon
held on Sunday, October 3,
Sunday, October 3, was a beauti
ful fall day, and on campus a small
cluster of people (kids and adults)
gathered to show respect and appre
ciation for their pets, and to thank
them with the help of Sister Pauline,
for all their kindness and love. It was
the second annual Blessing of the
Animals in Warm Springs. This even
is celebrated in remembrance of St.
Francis of Assisi's love for all crea
tures on his feast day of October 4.
Here is some of Sister Pauline's
message at the Blessing of the Ani
mals: "Creator God, we praise you for
this lovely day-for the blue sky, the
warm sunshine, the flowers and the
tall trees. We thank you because you
have made a world that is so beauti
ful and wonderful. When we think
about the size of the universe, when
we hear the thunder, watch the horses
galloping, or sit beside a flooding
river, we remember what a great and
powerful God you are. And then we
see the little things like the patterns
of a butterfly's wing, the colors of a
fish, a bird feeding her babies, an ant
working hard, a spider making a beau
tiful web, or a mouse building a soft
bed for her family, and then we know
that as well as being a very powerful
God, you care about little things:
little cats and dogs, and insects and
bugs and hamsters and very special
little people. We thank you for giv
ing us all these animals and birds and
fish and insects to help us be happy.
Help us to take good care of every
thing and everybody you made. And
if we have hurt any of them, please
forgive us. Amen."
Then Sister Pauline read a story- -Saint
Francis and the Wolf- a wolf
that had been terrorizing the people
Church to celebtrate 125th
To the editor,
Hello from Pastor Rick. I am
pleased to announce that on October
31 at 7 p.m. we will be celebrating
the 125th birthday of the Warm
Springs Presbyterian church. We are
going to have a birthday party at the
church. It won't be really long-it is
still a school night. But we are going
to have games, prizes and a cake to' '
' cut and eat. So co'me'ahd'wi'sh'us' a''
'X happy birthday.'-' '.';""?"""- Y"t
Here is other news of the church.
There is a cancer support group that
meets here in Warm Springs and in
Madras. It's purpose is to prove in
formation and support for anyone
who is in the midst of wrestling with
the disease of cancer. It is also there
to provide support for families. If
you have cancer you do not have to
be alone. All praise and applause to
the Tribal Council for passing a seat
belt law for the community. Wearing
a seat belt is not a white world issue,
Indian world issue, or rural county
issue. It is an issue of science. When
an object, a person, seats inside a
box, a car, when the box stops the
object inside keeps inside keeps
moving forward. You have got to
hold down the object inside to pro
tect it. Hey, how about a seat belt.
Great News and Thanks Tribal Coun
cil. I must make comment about all of
the funerals we have been having in
the community. Please to one and all

of a city called Gubbio.
While Francis was staying in that
town, he learned of a wolf so raven
ous that it was not only killing and
eating animals, but people too. The
people took up arms and went after
it, but hose who encountered the wolf
perished at it's sharp teeth. Villagers
became afraid to leave the city walls.
Francis had pity on the people and
decided to go out and meet the wolf.
He was warned of the danger, but he
insisted that he would be safe. A
brave friar and several peasants ac
companied Francis outside the city
gate. But soon the peasants lost heart
and said they would go no farther.
Francis and his companion began
to walk on. Suddenly the wolf, jaws
agape charged out of the woods at the
couple. Francis signaled the wolf to
slow down and to close it's mouth.
Then Francis called out: "Come to
me, Brother Wolf. I ask you not to
hurt anyone." At that moment, the
wolf lowered it's head and lay down
at St. Francis's feet, meek as a lamb.
St. Francis explained to the wolf
that he had been terrorizing the
people, killing not only the little ani
mals in the forest, but also farm ani
mals and people. "Brother Wolf,"
said St. Francis, "I want to make
peace between you and the people of
Gubbio. They will harm you no more
and you must no longer harm them.
All past crimes are to be forgiven."
The wolf showed it's assent by
moving its body and nodding its head.
Then to the absolute surprise of the
gathering crowd, Francis asked the
wolf to make a pledge. As St. Francis
extended his hand to receive the
pledge, so the wolf extended it's front
paw and placed it into Francis's hand.
Then Francis asked the wolf to fol-
continue to pray for all of the fami
lies who are in grief. Their struggle
begins when the services are over
and life is suppose to go back to
normal. So you see it is important to
go and ask family how are you do
ing? And be a good listener. Also I
want to thank the people of tribal
utilities, the police, Longhouse cooks,
and others who work very hard be
hind the scenes to make a funeral
happen in a loving worshipful way.
Special prayers to family who must
make at times, really hard decisions
about the medical care for a loved
one. Do not take on guilt to your life.
Make the call between you, the pa
tient and your God.
I tell the community of Warm
Springs that I went down to the rap
concert on Friday and Saturday nights
to listen to the music. What I heard
was cursing and a message that
women were sexual tools and slaves
to men. With our record of domestic
violence I hope and pray we will do
better to not give our young people
such trash to feed their minds.

In total we raised $777. 10 for the
American Diabetes Association. The
following are those that helped with
the fund raiser: Colleen Johnson,
Carolyn Johnson, Theron Johnson,
Judy Johnson, Althea Henry, Wally
Lujan, Laurain Hintsala, Bev
Surface, Leah Henry, Tiffiney Henry,
Martha Winishut and Joe Henry. The
day ofthe walk, September 25th, was
Ellen's birthday. Ellen suffered a
great deal of her life with diabetes
and the illnesses it caused her. It was
important for her family to get
1999
low him into town to make a peace
pact with the townspeople. The wolf
calmly followed St. Francis.
By the time they got to the town
square, everyone was there to wit
ness the miracle. With the wolf at his
side, Francis offered the townspeople
peace, on behalf of the wolf. The
townspeople promised to feed the
wolf. Then Francis asked the w olf if
he would live in peace under those
terms. He bowed his head and twisted
his body in a way that convinced
everyone he accepted the pact. Then
once again the wolf placed it's paw
in Francis's hand as a sign of the
pact.
From that day on the people kept
the pact they had made. The wolf
lived for two years among the towns
people, going from door to door for
food. It hurt no one, and no none hurt
it. Even the dogs did not bark at it.
When the wolf finally died of old
age, the people of Gubbio were sad.
The wolfs peaceful ways had been a
living reminder to them of the won
ders of the natural world.
There are other churches and faiths
that also have ceremonies to honor
animas. In many religions and belief
systems, the paradox that each living
creature is unique and therefore sepa
rate, but simultaneously part of a
larger circle of life, is addressed.
When we focus on differences
(any differences!) in a critical way,
we become more separate from each
other and from other beings. This
separation often leads to fear-and
fear can lead to misunderstandings
and anger. When we focus on the
similarities shared by all living be
ings, we can feel empathy and sym
pathy for others, we can understand
the actions of other people, and we
can even stop to listen.

To the editor,
On Wednesday, October 6, 1999.
I had the wonderful opportunity to
attend the Family Science Night event
at Warm Springs Elementary school
hosted by OSU SMILE (Science and
Math Investigative Learning Experi
ences). SMILE is an enrichment pro
gram for disadvantaged students in
grades 4-12 that currently has clubs
in the Warm SpringsMadras El
ementary, Middle and High Schools.
I was not familiar with the pro
cram or it's participants so I did not
know what to expect. What I saw
was incredible! I saw students ex
cited about sharing their know ledge,
I saw teachers supporting learning
on multiple levels, I saw interested
community members and I saw proud
parents, Now THAT is a hard find
these days.
For those of you who have not
witnessed the excitement of a child
engaged in explaining a scientific
experiment or leading other students
in a hands-on activity or just having
FUN in a non-violent and healthy
manner, I urge you to check out the
local SMILE club. I guarantee that
you will see it all!
Sincerely,
