Greene family
To the editor,
Verbena Tohet Greene's fam
ily would like to take this opportu
nity to acknowledge and thank fam
ily, friends and relatives for attend
ing the events that involved our
mother. Such as the medicine sing
ing, her birthday and just coming by
to see how she was doing. We are
grateful that we all had the opportu
nity to show our love for her.
Our mother taught us how to
deal with good times, hard times and
bad times. We try to stick together,
support one another and thank God
that we have each other. We believe
it is not only the love, but also the
spiritual part of our life that is solid
and keeps us strong to be able to take
care of whatever comes our way.
Mom taught us how to care, share and
be good to one another because you
never know what is going to happen.
With the prayers and love from
all the people who came to be with
mom, we thank you from the bottom
of our hearts for your thoughtfulness
because you people have had helped
in some way, even in the smallest
way, and it is truly appreciated. Mom
had aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers,
cousins, nieces, nephews, grandchil
dren, great-grandchildren, friends and
other relatives; we give our gratitude
and thanks to all for being good to
our mom. It was truly medicine to her
heart.
Thank you Geraldine &
Wilford Jim, Mary Ann Meanus,
Lucinda Green, Wilson Wewa Jr., and
drummers for your spiritual help for

Dog Control Ordinance
Dogs, dogs, dogs. There seems
to be a major concern with dogs from
our community members everywhere
these days. The subject of dogs comes
up just about anywhere people gather
and talk. The Warm Springs Police
Department will again be in charge
of the Reservation Dog Control Or
dinance. According to Tribal Code
Dog Control Ordinance Number 36,
"Be It Enacted by the Tribal Council
assembled on the 30 day of April,
1962 at Warm Springs, Oregon, that
in accordance w ith Sect ion ( 1 ) and (i)
of Article V of the Constitution and
By-Laws of the Confederated Tribes,
there is hereby established for the
Warm Springs Indian Reservation in
Oregon a code controlling the licens
ing of dogs, providing for the control
or destruction of unwanted dogs, and
providing penalties for violation of
this ordinance". This is a reminder to
everyone that there is certain rules and
regulations pertaining to dogs here in
Warm Springs and on the Reserva
tion Under Section 1 of Ordinance
36 the following definitions are
given: (a) "Dog", shall mean any ca
nine animal 6 months of age or over,

Also, for helping us, her
children and grandchildren to be
strong as her time became near.
Thanks to Taco Sam and some of
Shaker congregation for lighting the
home after the funeral. In our hearts
we know that she is not hurting, not
in pain and is happy to be with her
loved ones who have gone on before
her. Sometimes, the loneliness gets
the best of us, but we have one an
other to hang on to and ask God to
comfort our loneliness. We are all try
ing to find ways to fill the void and
sometimes it gets to be just too much,
but we look at all good times and get
a smile on our faces.
We did the best we can to meet
her wishes when it was her time and
truly believe that we done all that we
could do for her. She would always
tell us that she did not want to hurry
so that nobody will get hurt. That was
mom, always looking out for the best
interest of everyone else.
We would like to thank
Grandma Louise Hellon for the
prayers, advice, comfort and material
goods and to Cherilyn Starr for be
ing such a true and wonderful sister-in-law
and her help to mom and the
family. A special thank you to Maria
Lopez and Lori Mitchell (& Gorky)
for going beyond the call of duty to
tend to mom. You not only showed
her your professionalism, but your
love and we believe that helped her
along. To Rex Buck Jr. and Rex
Robinson for fulfilling the wish of our
mother and conducting the funeral

summer of 2000.
I didn't want to go to camp! My
mom said, "it would be a great expe
rience," and because my mom was
going to work there I decided might
as well. I might as well join the Army,
I thought after I got there. Curty,
Thco, and I attended the first session.
Just because my mom worked there
we wanted to prove to her that we
didn't expect to be treated any dif
ferent than the other campers.
The first morning I woke up at
7a.m. and mom was already at the
kitchen helping out. She greeted me,
"Hi, baby. I already took a bath in
the creek. Yeah right, I thought. Af
ter a great breakfast, things began to
move swiftly. Arts & crafts, Native
walks, hikes, counseling and best of
all "campfires." That's when mom
and myra sold out! But I was very

There were many, many

come to the funeral and we thank you
for your cards and calls of condo

the long trip to pay their last respects
coming from Virginia, Arizona,
becoming smokers. More than 88
of current adult smokers started be
fore they were 18 years old. That's
why the Great American Smokeout

will communicate to our children the
social disadvantages of smoking and
provide them with the tools to recog

The 1988 Surgeon General's
Report on Nicotine Addiction con
cluded: Cigarettes and other forms of
tobacco are addicting.
Nicotine is the drug in tobacco
that causes addiction.
Nicotine is absorbed readily
from tobacco smoke in the lungs and
from smokeless tobacco in the mouth
or nose. With regular use, levels of
nicotine accumulate in the body dur
ing the day and persist overnight.
Thus, daily tobacco users are exposed
to the effects of nicotine for 24 hours
each day.
Tobacco smoke contains over
4,000 chemical compounds, includ
ing at least 43 different carcinogenic
substances.
Fingernail polish remover,
otherwise known as acetone, is a poi
sonous gas, a preservative for dead
frogs, an insecticide, and an ingredi
ent in cigarette smoke.
Cigarette smoke contains cya
nide, a deadly poison.
Cigarette smoke contains
formaldehyde, a chemical used to
preserve dead frogs for high school
biology labs.
Cigarette smoke contains
methanol, a wood alcohol. Taken in
sufficient amounts, methanol can
cause blindness.
Cigarette contains tar, a con

in front of all the kids. My mom even
received an eagle staff from Heidi
and Tooq-ash man. We really lived
by the rules, like 9:00p.m. lights out.
We didn't even have any lights.
Curtiss and I didn't go back for the
next session, but Theodore was anx

campers. I learned how to make
Natural dyes thanks to Heidi. Heidi,
the great bear women seemed to have

Get on the Good Foot
If you've been planning to start
an exercise routine or receive a lag
ging one, what could be simpler than
putting one foot in front of the other?
Walking can be effective. Walking at
a speed of 4.5 miles per hour or more
bums at least as many calories as jog
ging at the same speed. Walking can
also help combat heart disease, dia
betes and even certain cancers.
Make the commitment To reap
health benefits; schedule time to w alk
at least 30 minutes, three to five times
a w eek.

break the monotony and helps to keep
you motivated.
