Children.
The celebration is designed to

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.

Geo quiz...
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.

More wishes. . .
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 '

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.
