The bus pulls up and as the door opened he says to the trial members, "Hello, all my good friends." Their response was "Hoolah, Hoolah, Hoolah!" With that response he felt good and went on to say, "I promise to build schools to educate your children!" Again, they responded, "Hoolah, Hoolah, Hoolah!" "I promise to build new homes for everyone." Again they responded, "Hoolah, Hoolah, Hoolah!" "I promise everyone will have employment!" Again they responded, "Hoolah, Hoolah, Hoolah!" I promise you a medical clinic to take care of you!" "Hoolah, Hoolah, Hoolah!" He went on to say, "I understand you have a bull farm where you raise bulls and sell them to the public, can I see it?" They take him to their farm and as he was going to get out of the bus a councilman stopped him and said, "When you get out of the bus be careful and not step in that Hoolah!" Yikes sss sss sss A BAD DAY?? When you THINK you have a bad day, remember this one from a young mother... I was taking a shower when my 2-year-old son came into the bathroom and wrapped himself in toilet paper. "Although he made a mess, he looked adorable, so I ran for my camera and took a few shots. They came out so well that I had copies made and included one with each of our Christmas cards. Days later, a relative called about the picture, laughing hysterically and suggesting I take a closer look. Puzzled, I stared at the photo and was shocked to discover that in addition to my son, I had captured my reflection in the mirror wearing nothing but a camera!" Yikes sss , sss sss An acquaintance of mine who is a physician told this story about her then-four-year-old daughter. On the way to preschool, the doctor had left her stethoscope on the car seat, and her little girl picked it up and began playing with it. Be still, my heart, thought my friend, my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps! Then the child spoke into the instrument: "Welcome to McDonald's. May I take your order?"

I do not expect anyone to be Derfecr. Just patient and lovine. caring and kind! Do you believe in yourself? Have faith in yourself, that we can have it together. ! Nicole Michaels To the editor, Myself, along with others, were wondering just who is in charge of management on this Reservation? The Council already admitted that these speculators and management don't report to them. Or are they ashamed to admit that they do? The Tribal Members sure don't have any say so. So who is management ac countable to? They must report to their own secret society. It's gotten to where they don't even care what Tribal Members "think". Because if you listen to them talk, they always refer to the tribal membership as "you guys" or "the Indians", it's only"we" when they need a vote for more money. Take Economic Development for example. Aren't they getting paid through the Tribe, to develop busi ness for the Tribes? Now I hear they set up a business for themselves. If it wasn't done on tribal time, as they claim, just what were they doing on tribal time, to get paid? The same way a past housing maintenance person, not from here, did while building his own house, with the then housing managers blessings. This same man ager told me at gaming, that this guy left them "one big mess" when he left housing and got a cushy job at gam ing. Now there are numerous com plaints against his replacement who was "trained" by the last guy, with management looking the other way again. This is how they grow their own "little" good ole boys. This bunch keeps demanding insurance and license from tribal contractors to work on the reservation, to learn how to be like white contractors. Which is good, but do those who are doing the demanding have a Joumeymans card and license just like white contrac tors? These guys probably think that a Joumeymans card is the tribal credit card they use to travel for more train ing. This is the same bunch that kept denying small business grants to tribal members, who kept having to clear one obstacle after another until they all gave up. Not so long ago they said everybody had to make a business plan on thier own, and were encour aged to apply for grant money for off the reservation. They all turn deaf when asked, what happened to the original funds that were meant for tribal members. Now I'm told that they used other tribal employees to write their business plans for them. And Gene Keane, who we all thought was hired to be helping all members in small business, helped write grants for these "managers" personal busi ness. Could he be involved in their personal business venture? But then again "Conflict of interest" means nothing to this management and Council. If these "managers" can't do what they demand of others, what and who qualifies them to ruin other peoples plans? As one council mem ber told me a few months ago "I don't know why you people are fighting so hard for another casino with Indian businesses, a certain family is going to own it all anyway". Whoever is over this depart ment, and other departments, doesn't seem to be able to maintain control over those under him. But, it's com mon knowledge that this whole clique, has and always will wash each others back.

Cheryl & Lunchmeat Happy Birthday Grandma Marcie Your grandkids Vanessa, Shaniah, Antone, Ricky, Thomas, Francis & Kali & Misty To the editor, Hello from Pastor Rick, long ago there was a king called Josiah. He was a good man. In the course of time he discovered that in the eyes of God he was in fact doing badly. Some , workmen were doing a remodeling job on the temple of the Lord. They discovered the book of law, the To rah. The king read the book and dis covered that he and his people were way off the mark of doing the will of God. So, he cleaned up his life and ordered the nation to get their act to gether. False gods and their temples came down. Powerful people lost their jobs. So, in the end King Josiah had the look of success. Then one day an army was going through his coun try to get to the other side. The king ordered his army to meet them. The Egyptian king crushed king Josiah's army and killed him. On the surface the story seems to say why bother with being faithful. You will still die in the end. The truth is the king gave everything to God except his being Happy B-day wolf! from the boys Happy 16th Birthday to Alexis Smith Love Sis Desirae & Jason Camisha & JaDe king and how to lead a people. He had it right, right up to the point of doing wrong. From the top, down leadership and a people need to hold on to what is good and honorable and to be con sistent in life that is not right, then their choice is to fix it or step down as a leader. By-the-way, the story of Josiah is in the Bible 2 Kings Chap ter 23. Read it today. At the Warm Springs Presby terian Church-Christian Education begins at 10 a.m. on Sunday morn ing. Worship is at 1 1 a.m. Okay, Hug someone you love. Hug someone you dislike. No alco hol or tobacco for children. One day at a time. Buckle up the kids and your selves. Don't hit or beat on your selves. Pay your bills before gambling then stay home. Read the Bible for it's effect on your heart. Pray to God to the point of hearing Him. Honor someone. Love yourself. Like your self. See you in church. Pastor Rick WS Presbyterian Church On the campus ally I think this Govenors veto of I Iood River, may have been a bless ing in disguise. I hope people remem ber the Apple Dumpling Gang showed their true colors. Like the be hind closed doors deals, to give a big share of gaming to Madras and KahNecTa and gaming management. Following the Pioneer lately, I won- . dcr if this small group in power in Madras, are the ones our "gang" were so eager to make these behind closed door deals with. Who knows what kind of "se cret deals" our negotiators, and Apples Dumplings, along with their consultant buddies, would have made. Most likely anything to satisfy . the Non-Indian. Just so one of them could do their "Little Chief dance" for their new found friends. It's bad enough that this casino mostly sup ports the non-Indian, and KaNeefa management which seems to be suck ing dry other enterprises to stay afloat. The tribe would be supporting the towns of Hood River, Madras and KahNeeTa. Look at all the services that our leaders were promising to these towns. Like more fire and po lice protection, better roads, utilities, more housing for employees, when things like that are needed here, but are always being threatened to be slashed on the reservation, unless you vote the Apples way. Look how little the membership gets now, except for ' . a lot of promises. With more White people and more managers to support and with the accountability and hon esty that this regine has shown, I think members would be getting shafted even more.
