SPILYAY tymoo WARM SPRINGS, OREGON April 20, 2000 5 Anger can leave a scar There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails in to the fence. Then it gradually dwindled down. He dis covered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally, the day came when he boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young f n Carlos Rafeal Miller (Poo-Poos) Belated Happy Birthday wish. to a Six year old. April, 7, 00 Happy Birthday to Paula J.

M boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. I he father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like (his one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out, it won't matter how many times you say, "I'm sorry," the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one."

Your bratty nephew Mista Lennox Awan Lewis k -A Housing needs survey important To the editor, I am a RARE, Resource Assis tance for Rural Environments, Intern this year working in Redmond at the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC). My projects involve regional planning community, and economic development. The project I wish to address here is the Central Oregon Housing Needs Assessment, which is sponsored by the Northwest Area Foundation. Part of the project includes a very important survey, which 1 out ol 15 households in Central Oregon will receive some- time next week, i nis project is ex citing because of the partnership that was formed to tackle this complex issue. The partnership includes a cooperative effort between govern ment not-for-profits, and jurisdic tions that are pulling together to take a holistic approach to livability. The Needs Assessment seeks to determine an honest understanding of existing housing conditions in our communities, and the goal is to im prove housing and affordability is sues for all Central Oregonians. That's why it is so important for people to fill them out accurately if their household receives a survey. The results of this survey will give us a snapshot of the current housing situation in Central Oregon as of April 2000. There will be a work Happy Birthday Theyliah, I love you.

Just to let people "think" they had a voice in making decisions that affect the reservation. When all the time, they already had made a deal with Madras. A deal like this had to have been made a long time ago. Shows the lack of consideration and respect this bunch has for tribal members. Tribal members opinions and feelings about Jiaving to "give" to someone, who has little, if any, " respect for Indians means nothing to this bunch. How many other, behind close doors, under the table deals are being made, for the good of the "GENERAL FUND". Again, we are being told, if we don't do this or if we don't do that we will be broke. The same speech given to start the first casino, the same to enhance Kah-Nee-Ta, the same if we didn't vote for the dam, now the same if we don't expand to Madras. Constantly going broke seems to be a bad habit with our management. All that has grown around here is management positions. Are these just pay-backs for being "GOOD OLE BOYS?" For what or who was this Reader shares To the editor, Please print this poem. It seems f appropriate and hope it will reach ! someone who reads it. Thank you. Rocksy Pamperien Climer Moonlight Ride Jenny was so happy about the house they had found, For once in her Hfe it was on the right side of town. She unpacked her things with such a great ease, As she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze. How wonderful it was to have her own room, School would be starting, she'd have friends over soon. There would be sleepovers and par ties she was so happy, It was just the way she wanted her life to be. On the first day of school every thing was great, She made some new friends and even got a date. She thought "I just want to be popu lar and I'm going to be, , because I just got a date with the star of the team" To be known in this school you had to have a clout, And dating this guy would sure help her out. There was only one problem stop ping her fate, Her parents had said she was too young to date. "I just won't tell them the whole entire truth, They won't know the difference, what's there to lose?" Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night, her parents frowned but said "all she got ready for the big event. But as she rushed around like she had no sense. She began to feel guilty about all the lies. But whats a pizza, a party and a moonlight ride. Well, the pizza was good and the Jim vies for Jr. Nathena Jim Happy Birthday Bratt Grandpa money spent or squandered on? If anyone accountable for all those losses? Looking around, after these years, the reservation still looks the same. Except maybe four brand new stop signs. While Madras has turned into a Boomtown. I am all for gaming, but since "OUR LEADERS", have forced Madras on everybody, I think ev erybody should force "OUR LEADERS", to make sure our casino is managed like it is suppose to be. You know, like it actually belongs to Warm Springs Tribal Members. With more fairness to tribal members, at least. This bunch has already given Kah-Nee-Ta to the non-Indian. Look at how rotten, "US OWN ERS" are treated at Kah-Nee-Ta. If these same managers aren't ac countable for how much money is actually made, and for the treatment of tribal members, at a casino in our backyard, just think how they will be when the casino is sitting in their backyard. I have heard member's complaints about their treatment, both as cus tomers and employees. I know these complaints to be true, so does the Indians in management positions with the casino. I have seen them run to V 13 "Moonlight Ride" poem party was great, But the moonlight ride would have to wait. For Jeff was half drunk by this time, But he kissed her and said he was just fine. Then the room filled with smoke as Jeff took a puff, Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff. Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point, But only after smoking one more joint. They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride, Not thinking he was too drunk to drive. They made it to the point at last, And started trying to make a pass. A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all, And by a pass I don't mean playing football. 'perhaps my parents were right...maybe I am too young, Boy, how could I ever ever be so dumb". With all of her might she pushed Jeff away, "Please take me home, I don't want to stay." Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas, In a matter of seconds they were going to fast. As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger, Jenny knew that her life was in danger. She begged and pleaded for him to slow down, But he just got faster as they neared the town. Just let me get home, I'll confess that I lied. That I really went out for a moon light ride. Then all of a sudden there was a big flash, "Oh, God, please help us, we are going to crash." She doesn't remember the force of the impact. Just that everything went black. Pi - Ume - Sha Queen Hello, my name is Nathena Jim.

At every meeting "OUR LEADERS", prom ise to look into this. For years all they have been doing is looking. Seems they only want to see what they want to see, or what management tells them what they see. They ask why the big turn-over in tribal members. The members turn to "OUR INDIAN MANAGEMENT" through the grievance process but "OUR PEOPLE" turn their backs on tribal members. Is it because we weren't ' the beautiful people like them? I have heard a few managers and casino experts say, "It is a business to make money," putting members complaints second. If that is the case, these managers should be down the road, since they are always running us broke, after each business venture. I am sure we will hear these politi cians putting the blame on everyone else. Remember, this is the same bunch the Paiute Chief referred to as "THE FOUR HORSEMEN." A more fitting name, would be the "APPLE" dumpling gang. Victor Moses, Tribal Member She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble, And heard "call an ambulance, these kids are in trouble." Voices she heard. ..a few words at best, But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck. Then wondered to herself, if Jeff was alright. And if the people in the other car were alive. She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad, "You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad." They said, "Jenny we've done all we can do, But it looks as if we'll lose you too." "But the people in the other car!" Jenny cried "We're sorry, Jenny they also died. Jenny prayed "God forgive me for what I've done, I only wanted just one night of fun." "Tell the people's family I've made their lives dim, I wish I could return their families to them." "Tell mom and dad, I'm sorry I lied. Oh nurse, won't you tell them for me?" ' The nurse just stood there, she never agreed. But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes. And a few minutes later Jenny died. A man asked the nurse, "Why didn't you do your best, to bid that girl her last request?" She looked at the man with eyes oh, so sad. "Because the people in the other car were her mom and dad". This story is sad and unpleasant but true. So young people take heed, it could have been you. by Anonymous (Taken from Starlite Cafe-Poets Comer)I don't know who the real author of this poem is but I thought it was very sad and it needs to be posted !
