Prejudice: A word that will never
be set aside in any society. No matter
how one looks at the subject it will
always prevail in one way or the
other.
In each race there is prejudice of
some sort and the minority always
seems to get the bad side of it all the
time. Even in our own community
there is prejudice if one would take a
good look around. In our neighbor
ing cities there is prejudice. Every
town has their problems. Madras is
on the high percent if rated on a scale
from 1-10.
There has been a long rough
tough road of inter-grating students
into the 509-J school system, there
still seem to be that problem, like
name calling with words like, dumb, To the editor,
stupid, dirty etc. It is present and has been witnessed among some kids. Hello from Pastor Rick. Here at

To the editor,
To our Warm Springs families,
time to Warm Springs up. I don't
know too much but I do know when
we are being ripped off, big time.
Our own worst enemies wouldn't be
able to hurt our own people the way
we hurt each other. We are our own
worst enemy by the way we continue
to hold bad feelings, grudges, seem
ingly endless grudges, that in these
times of change there are more im
portant issues besides money, greed,
oppressions....
What I'm trying to say is that is
time we Paiute, Warm Springs,
Wasco, Simnasho, Agency,
Sidwalter, Jackson Trail,
Kah-Nee-Ta, Seekseekqua, West
Hills, Miller Heights etc. All of us
realize that it is time to team us.
Distinguish business from per
sonal. We don't have to get along
100 of the time to create a vibrant
economically stable, wholesome,
community, school, businesses, etc.
We are taught through our elders to
be generous, unselfish, contributors
to the continual existence of our in
digenous peoples. Lets try to put
aside selfish desires in order to keep
what little we have left here in good
ole Springs. The days of our lives in
Warm Springs, OR. This is the most
freedom we will ever, EVER expe
rience and we are losing what little
freedom we negotiated with Uncle
Sam for!? Think about thing....
We must come together as never
before. All our families rely upon
this piece of land, Warm Springs,
HOME, for our existence! Protect
what we have. REGROUP. Think
things (economy, social, mental) over
and offer all our people a voice, choice
about our lives, where we are going,
do we want to continue to allow a
few of our people to dictate, mo
nopolize, hustle, steal from their own
people !! Too sick, evil, wicked for
me & I think I can safely say almost
all our people do not get strung out
on money. In today's society money
is a necessary evil. But don't allow
the evil of money get the better of
you, us, our people. We are losing
what little we have left.
Warm Springs Rez. 3000!! If this
is to be real then we must start now ! !
These are crucial times, things are
out of control here in Warm Springs.
All our resources are being funncled
off our WS rez. We, WS Tribal people
created this glutinous monster that is
eating away on the very fabric of our
Eeople, community, devouring the
onest realties of life that connect us
all.... we can vote o uncreate this
monster and place the decision
making back into the hearts, minds,
spirits, souls of our WS tribal peoples.
Let's start today to really think
about what dominate socitys motives
are. The only good Indian is a dead
Indian mentality still exists. Ask those
8-5 'ers that come into our home ev
eryday to steal all they can then run
back to their haven while we wade
through our people's blood.

Today, it was Wednesday, July 26, 00, there was a grass fire along high

blaze after it burned about five or six acres of grass land.

Springs Commodity Program? It is
our very own Safeway Store on the
Reservation. Instead of the food
stamp debt card, you get over one
hundred pounds of food per person
per month. And you get to pick the
food you want to take home. Plus the
requirements to get the food are dif
ferent then the food stamp program.
That means you can be working and
still get food from the Commodity
Program. So go and check it out at
the Social Service Center in the In
dustrial Park.
Well, we all had a good time at the
Powwow. We survived the effects of

First. Get ready, get set.... Hug
someone you love. Hug someone you
dislike. No alcohol or tobacco for

Read the Bible for it's effect on your
heart. Pray to God, to the point of
hearing Him. Honor someone. Love
yourself. Like yourself. See you in

Logo changed?
To the editor,
Hey People! Did you know that
your Indian Head Casino Logo has
been changed? From the Indian Head
to a feather. I asked about this and a
non-tribal person stated it was done
so that the logo would be more
streamlined and simpler. What do
you think?

Thanks for the
past support
, To the editor,
Hello, I'm one of Jefferson
County's 4-H youth. I would like to
take a moment to say thank you for
your support of our 4-H program in
the past by purchasing an animal
from the livestock auction. The
money you spent I'm sure was used
to promote more 4-H activity by the
recipient. I know the money that I
make, after paying back expenses, is
used to purchase an animal. That
way I can continue participating in
the 4-H program. It has taught me
leadership skills, working as a team
member, and discipline to achieve a
goal. I would also like to make sure
to invite you to the Jefferson County

To the editor,
I would just like to take this op
portunity to thank the young ladies
who ran for this year's 2000-2001
Pi-Ume-Sha Treaty Days Powwow.
Each year we look for young ladies
in the community that are willing
and capable to run for the court.
This year the senior court candi
dates that vied for the Miss
Pi-Ume-Sha Queen title were: Pearl
Jack and Tia Bean. Tia Bean was
crowned to be 2000-20001 Miss
Pi-Ume-Sha Queen and Pearl Jack
was 1st runner-up. Great job ladies!
Blanche Mitchell sold tickets as part
of the senior court, but due to a death
of a family member, dropped out of
the contention for queen. However,
Blanche continued to sell tickets on
behalf of the Pi-Ume-Sha committee
and I would just like thank her for
doing that.
This year the junior court candi
dates that vied for the Jr. Miss
Pi-Ume-Sha Queen title were: Sadie
Johnson, Sasha Robinson, Nathena
Jim and Teryl Florendo. Teryl
Florendo was crowned to be
2000-2001 Jr. Miss Pi-Ume-Sha
Oueen, Nathena Jim was 1st
runner-up, Sadie Johnson was 2nd
runner-up and Sasha Robinson was
3rd runner-up. Good Job Girls!!!
It takes a lot of hard work and
determination to run for Pi-Ume-Sha
Queen or for that matter any court.
Each of these girls had to apply
themselves to the community. Each
of them gave their best effort and I
thank each of them for that.
I would like to send a BIG thank
the out-going 1999-2000
Pi-Ume-Sha Queen's Valerie Suppah
and Mystina Spino-McCormack.
You both did a great job in repre
senting Pi-Ume-Sha and the com
munity during your reign.
I would also like to ask that the
members of the community give each
of these girls a word of encourage
ment for they are representing the
people of Warm Springs. Let them
know that they are doing a good job
or just take a minute to shake their
hand. These words of encouragement
will held them achieve their best and
help them to be proud of our com
munity. Danni R. Katchia
Pi-Ume-Sha Committee Member
Remembering "uncle"
To the editor,
The family of Raymond Shike
Sr., I would like to express my feel
ings of the loss of my Dear Uncle
Ray. I have always held my uncle
close to my heart. He has always
meant so much to me. He is the one
who named me "Hot Dog". We have
been through so much. As a child
growing up at Cascade Lock, OR
(along the Columbia River), I re
membermy uncle always was always
there. One time I stole his Salem cigs
and I went to the trail overlooking
the river and sparked up a cig. My
uncle woke up and noticed his cigs
were gone. He started to walk from e
camp to the restrooms and he seen
me sitting on the ground puffing
away. He walked up to me and scared
me. He yelled "What you doing? (I
was around 6 or 7 years old).
When I grew up and he seen I
smoked Marlboro, he said "You
changed your brand, huh?"
I always tried to keep in touch
with my uncle on my trips. I traveled
all over the United States racing
horses and I would write to my uncle
and let him know I loved him.
When I heard of his passing away
I was alone. I'm hurting not only for
myself but his children, grandchil
dren, brothers and my Dear Aunt
Charlotte. My prayers are with you
always.
We must be strong and glad that
uncle is no longer in pain. I'm so
sorry I missed the funeral, I live in
Battle Mountain, NV. It's hard to get
the funds to travel back and forth.
I love you all, Helena, Dino,
Sharon & RB; Ray Shike Jr.; Mina,
Reina, Alfredo & Alfred; Lawrence,
Lil Lawrence, Lana & Baby William
Ray; Sandra, Owen & Lil Owen and
Lana, Andy, Patch & Albert.
Aunt Charlotte, never forget I love
you and I'll keep you in my daily
prayers.
Love,
