Warm Springs captures blue ribbon at Grand Floral Parade Plagued with mechanical problems, the Confederated Tribes' entry in the Rose Festi val Grand Floral Parade June 10 limped through the streets of Portland but was striking enough to earn a first place in the category of Civic Groups. The grace and charm of Miss Warm Springs Jackie Estimo and her grandmother Lucinda Smith more than com pensated for the jarring effect of a man's torso emerging from the fir grove at the rear of the float and the unceremonious presence of a tow truck out front. The two ladies, who endured hours of cold and rain to greet thousands of spectators, re turned to Warm Springs with a plaque and ribbon commending the tribes' second float and sec ond blue ribbon. Following the parade theme of "Hooray for Hollywood" the forested Warm Springs float commemorated "Three War riors," the film made here on the reservation two years ago. But again, the float suffered a malady this time a split person ality. Change is not easy when it isn't chosen. That is why it was difficult for Warm Springs to say goodbye to Presbyterian minis ter Calvin Chinn and his family, who left this week for a new life in San Anselmo, California. The Chinns have chosen to change directions and we who became so accustomed to their friendship must adapt to their decision and the hole it leaves in our community. As with any loss it is painful for a time, but we find ways to cope and even grow. After five and half years in Warm Springs it was time for Calvin to return to academia. It was time for Nancy to surround herself with fellow painters. It was time for their kids to find new challenges in another school. Warm Springs girls at the top The Warm Springs girl's team coached by Teddy Tanewasha is holding a strong lead over all in the Major League Softball Di vision. There are eight teams in the division and these girls played five and won five. The girls played a game against Olsen Seed from Madras and won 10-6, Monday June 12 in Warm Springs.
