The celebration is designed to focus our attention on the needs of young children and their families, and to recognize the early childhood programs and services that meet those needs. The Week of the Young Child is a time to plan how we, as citi zens of a community, can bet ter meet the needs of all young children and their families. Community events to raise awareness of abuse Children's Protective Ser vices (CPS) is supporting Child Abuse Prevention Month in April. Child abuse and neglect affect all walks of life, rich, poor, traditional, non-traditional, young, old, healthy and disabled. We are all people with feel ings, so we have to help each other be safe. What is it Child Abuse Pre vention Month? This is a community aware ness event that extends the en tire month with different activi ties. We are open all year around to community members who are concerned and want to help in stopping child abuse and ne glect. What is the message Children's Protective Services want the community to hear? That, as a community that cares, we can protect our chil dren by taking a stand and do ing something about abuse and neglect. These are my relatives, my people: What kind of stand could I take? That these are our relatives, our people, is the main reason why we should get involved, to stop the harm and separation from occurring. Think back to when you were a child. Wouldn't you have wanted a friend or relative to protect you? To educate you about abuse and neglect, and for you to realize life doesn't have to be like this? How can I get involved and show my support? Join us at the CPS events. Serve all year as a foster parent to keep our children on the res ervation and participating in tra ditional events, and growing up in the community. What kind of events will CPS sponsor? CPS will kick off the month long event with a walk from the Community Center to CPS. There will be hot dogs, chips and drinks, a coloring contest for ages ECE to fifth grade, scav enger hunt and taco dinner. For further information, re fer to the calendar of events that is available through CPS. Call Cecilia Collins, family intake coordinator, 553-3209. Story ideas?

Cheryl Smith last week demonstrated her expert knowledge of the geography of the reservation by correctly identifying the area where the Geo Quiz photograph had been taken. Smith correctly pointed out that the photograph was taken on the Island area of the res ervation. This area is near Simnasho. From Highway 97 on the way to Simnasho, you take a right on Island Road, located just before the grade. Follow this road about two miles and you will see the windmill pictured in last week's Geo Quiz. Cheryl Smith recognized it because she has been out hunting on the Island.

I reflect back to the early years of Josh waking up to them cold snowy mornings to go hunt ing with me and his Uncle Dal las. Josh's favorite spot was Mt. Wilson, where he helped pack out lots of freezer meat. He was always a good listener during our hunts and would forever be looking to see the deer or elk first. He didn't have a rifle be cause he was too young, but he always carried my rifle to the truck. During the ceremonial hunt ing season Dallas and myself were always a crew, and took turns being the lead hunter. In 1997, while in the South Colum bia Unit, we had to gas up in Arlington. We both left our wallets at home except for a check I had from the previous hunts. Every place was closed except True Value. The owner said if we bought something he would cash it He was taking this rifle out of a box. It was a 22 Marlin, 50,h anniversary rifle. It had a stainless steel barrel, walnut grain stock, and a Bull barrel with buck ear sights. I said I'll buy that rifle and a box of bullets for my son. Josh could not use this rifle until he could hold it up, take aim and squeeze the trigger. I put it away for him until he was older and strong enough to shoot it accurately. He was 12 years old when he shot his first J turn ' i! ; r 1 J s tor buck. I am so proud of our son. He still remembers all the hunts with his Uncle Dallas, and that is why he chose his uncle to re ceive his rifle during the cer emony and to dance with him. A very special thank you to Dallas. I would like to express my heart-felt appreciation to the following people for all their help duringjoshua Moody's first kill ceremony. Wilford Jim, who led the ceremony and the hunter's dance. My mom and Enie for wisdom and gifts. My girlfriend Nadine, who spent many hours sewing and prepar ing for the giveaway. Jacquelyn, Kelli, Anevay, Rico and Kiana Moody for helping house their brother. Leevi Herkshan and family. Sonya Scott, who came forward to help during the give away. The cooks who prepared the food and all the relatives who attended this special day Keith Moody and family.
