warm Springs, Oregon
spilyay tymoo!
E Coosh EEWA: The way it is
i 2tV" ..... '""""'I I IMfW Hinmil ...II IIITH" PI'I.II'l'HllH I TTTtf
JustaRambling...Fromone thing
to another!!
In the Presidents State to the
Union the other night he is provid
ing 10 billion dollars to the Ameri
can Indian programs..."AAA Yeee ! !
Wouldn' that be something if he
would make a statement like that or
any one of the Presidents in their
state to the union. It sure would be
somethingb but you never hear any
mention of the Native Americans
form any one of the Presidents. It's
always the Blacks or other
nationalaties, but never the Indians.
Of all the things that go on in the
world today the U.S. is always giv
ing away dollars to help other coun
tries and our own people suffer.,
Yep! They say Warm Springs is
always No. 1 , in what ever they do and thats no exception as there was a
study made in Central Oregon lately and would you believe that Warm
Springs was leading in one catagory. Warm Springs has the highest
poverty rate in central Oregon. Yep! we do lead in things, don't wwe.
The All Indian Bowling tournament held in Reno just completed
where all the fellow Tribesmen gather to show their skills on the bowling
alleys. At this time there is no results of who won anything at the tourney
from Warm Springs. No matter if you are a top bowler or not its always
good to go to Reno for the week-end, known as the biggest little city. AH
the bright glimmering lights flashing people playing the machines
hoping to hit that big jack-pot. There is alwlays a lot of exciement
happening in Reno, NV.
Just waiting for Valentines day to roll around, with all the Valentines
wishes sent out to the loved ones. Yep! Bet there are a lot of secret
admirers out there sending Valentinen messages..."Oh! Suger daddy,
come to Mommy." and stuff like that...I can remember when I was just
a cute little tyke, we used to cut out our own Valentines and past them
together and send them to the girls..Every one sending Valentines to
secret pals and to re-new old friendships. I remember getting a box of
J candy for my honey and when I gave it to her she'began to get suspecious
and was wondering if i had done something wrong. I had to explain that
s it was Valentines Day and she should be glad that I did buy her a box of
candy, even though I ate it in the end.
The Gaming issue is a never ending story, as there will be meetings
on the issuefor the future of our venture since our prime spot was not
approved by the Governor, that of the location at Cascade Locks.
Well we have trust land in Hood River, OR. where we could diprupt
the beautiful Columbia River Goarge scenic area. Or we could build it
along highway 26. Along a busy highway. The committee will have to
; come up with some good options for the tribal members to consider . No
' matter where we decide to build or if we dedide to build at all, we need
to consider a good gaming center where we can bring in some entertain
ment like other gaming centers where they bring in good entertainers, or
TV Boxing.
We speak of gaming sitluation for income for the Tribes, is there any
other source or field open for an envestment that could bring in some
funds to help the tribesTThats what we need to do is to discuss other
possibilities of other income souces otherthan the gaming sitluation. Our
timber and other sources are dwindling very rapedly and we need
someback up income.
Oh, well! We'll just have to play it lik it is. Ahh-Nah-Chi-Toon!!!
Toe Ness
From The Housing Department
The Bowlers:
Because Rudy works hard at the Housing Office and spends most
evenings bowling or playing basketball at the community center, his
wife thinks he is pushing himself too hard, so for his birthday she takes
him to the local strip club in Bend. The doorman at the club greets
them and says, "Hey, Rudy how ya doing?"
His Wife is puzzled and asks if he's been to this club before. :"Oh
no," says Rudy. "He's on my bowling team."
When they are seated, a waitress asks Rudy if he'd like his usual
Budweiser. Rudy's Wife is becoming uncomfortable and says "you
must come here a lot for that Women to know you drink Budweiser."
"No Honey, she's in the Ladies Bowling League. We share lanes
with them."
A stripper comes over to tleir table and throws her arms around
Rudy. "Hi Rudy George," she says. "Want your usual table dance?"
Rudy's Wife, now furious, grabs her purse and storms out of the
club. Rudy follows and spots her getting into a cab. Before she can
slam the door, he jumps in beside her and she starts screaming at him.
The cabby turns his head and says, 'looks like you picked up a real
doozy this time, Rudy!" YIKES111
Family sends thanks to all
To the editor,
Happy New Years to everyone!
On New Year's Day we had a Nam
ing Ceremony for our daughter
Matilda Wallulatum. She was given
the name "Ti-Cash-Palu".
Atwai MatildaMitchcll was happy
that we named our baby girl Matilda
after her and said to give her Indian
Name "Ti-Cash-Palu" to her some
time "ow-I-ya-uta" (after she passes
away).
We would like to thank everyone
who came to Simnasho Longhouse
for New Year's Day to witness the
event, also thank the drummers, the
cooks, Nettie Shawaway , mom Freda,
Auntie Darlou Foster, Patrick
Mitchell and all the elders, relatives
and friends.

Don't trust anyone with your keepsakes
To whom it may concern:
Over the last few years we lost
two members of our immediate fam
ily. It hurts very much everyday, we
pray for our kids and one another to
be stong.
However, we experienced some
thing different the other day. We
discovered keepsake items had been
stolen and hocked. Items such as
fully beaded ladies traditional outfit,
concho belt, and other miscellaneous
items. We asked each other who could
steal such items and why? We dis:
covered it was our own family mem
ber and live in boyfriend who is now
in jail for theft. We aren't sure if we
retrieved all items, however if you
recieved items from thes two people
that may be part of an outfit, please us.
contact us.
This is a warning to all that you
Happy 4th Birthday"

February 16. You are such a
brave and strong Little Girl. .
I'm so proud to have you as my
daughter! Things have been rough
the few months. And you've
handled it like a trooper!
We love you!
Love, Mom, Jr, Lil Sis Alyssa
can't trust or put anything past any
body evern your own family mem
bers. They will take you for granted,
they will lie to your face, they will
live in the same house and act like
they have feelings of love for you for
their own benefit.
It is sad that you have to be hurt
twice; the loss of your loved one and
then having to go buy keepsake items
back from a non Indian. People steal
ing from their own people? There are
two parties who benefited from this;
the people who stole the items and
the pawn shop.
We are very thankful for the items
we were able to retrieve and we are
very thankful to the nice people who
were considerate enough to notify
Thank You,

To the editor.
The family of Truman
Lumpmouth Sr. give praise and glory
to our heavenly father for all the
years we shared with our husband
dad. Besides being a husband and
dad, he was also a brother, uncle,
cousin, grandfather, and friend whom
will always be with us through memo
ries and in a very special place within
our hearts. How difficult to be diag
nosed with a terminal disease and
know that you may have one ( 1 ) year
to eighteen (18) months to live. It
was unbearable for us, however, he
continued to be our protector, advi
sor, encouraging us as he had done
for thirty-five (35) years especially
to continue to living for God.
We thank the Warm Springs Full
Gospel for all the months of being
there. Brothers and sisters, we love
each and every one of you; Pastor
Hunt for carrying out our loved one's
final request. The musicians, sing
ers, testimonies and the word of God
uplifted us, as a reminder to rejoice
in the Lord.
We thank you family and friends
for the contribution(s) of money,
food, flowers, and cards so freely

To the editor,
To the Greatest Mother in the
world Norma M. Smith. Words could

years could we ever begin to pay you
back for everything you did for us,
for all that you've taught us. We love
you more than life itself. For it it
were not for you I wouldn't exist.
jMackie - iiThanks for always believing in me,
even whea I didn t deserve it. You
are iruly the best. Here's- a- poem I
found that I feel barely begins to
express what I feel for you but it's
close. I hope you enjoy it. I love you
mom,
Love, Roni Smith
Mitch Smith, Norma &
Clinton Tainewasher
. My Mother
You've been the greatest blessing
in my life, its clear to see.
Words could never express,
how dear you are to me
I owe you more than money could
buy,
for all you've been and become.
To repay you for your strength and
love
could simply never be done.
You're faith, hope and love are
things that I treasure;
But I truly t appreciate the love
you give without measure
My heart's full of pride
for all that you've been....
I'm glad you're my Mother;
I'm glad you're my friend!
