This was a relaxing transition for Earlynne Squiemphen, who recently entered a team in the Portland to Coast walking event. She has entered the 129 mile Portland to Coast relay walk for six years. But this year was different because she was the captain of a new team, "Wading to Exhale." She had a team of nine walkers on a 12-person team, yet they made a good showing and completed with a time of 29 hours, 38 minutes. Squiemphen said, "ev erything fell into place and went smooth for us." Squiemphen used to walk, just to be walking. And it turned out that she found it relaxing. Now she enjoys it very much. She walks about 12 miles each day during her lunch break and when she gets home from work. To further challenge herself she began to enter competi tions throughout the north west. She likes to walk uphill in her training and relaxation. She has walked a hill near Sherar Falls, and sometimes the hill near the fish hatchery. She says that walking is easier on the body, and that her time improves each time she walks. With that improvement she sets goals for competition. Be sides the Portland to Coast, she competes in the Portland Mara thon, the Seattle half marathon, Kah-Nee-Ta Mini Marathon, and Pi-Ume-Sha Fun Run. She will enter the same team in the Portland to Coast relay in 2004 for her second year as cap tain. She will also walk in the Portland Marathon for the sec ond year this coming October. In 2002 she completed the Port land Marathon in about six hours. This year at the Portland Marathon her granddaughter will compete in the 2-mile run. She wants to be like her grandma and walk or run. Squiemphen completed the 13-mile half marathon in Seattle with a time of 2 hours, 38 min utes. She completed the 14-mile, Kah-Nee-Ta Mini Marathon in just over three hours. She walked in the Pi-Ume-Sha Fun Run Walk event a couple times. Her next goal is to walk the Ultra Marathon, which is 50 miles long. This has been her goal for quite some time now, and she hopes to reach it in a couple of years. "Walking is a relaxing thing for me. I encourage others to keep on the go, because the more people there are out there walking or jogging, the more people there are actually walk ing or jogging," concludes Squiemphen. Earlynne at the Portland Marathon 2002. She is currently preparing for the 2003 Marathon.

So far, teaching in Warm Springs is a pleas ant experience for Ed McDaniel, who filled the position as Physical Edu cation teacher vacated by Mr. Osborne. He comes to Warm Springs from Lebanon, where he taught Physi cal Education for two years to students in kindergarten to eighth grades. "It was a fun job, but with the budget cuts I was laid off," he states. While looking for a job, he applied for Physical Educa tion teacher in Warm Springs, and was hire'd. McDaniel has been teaching for 26 years. He has also been a coach for various sports. He feels lucky to be here, because teaching the younger students is fulfilling. "They are at a special age, and they need attention," McDaniel said. McDaniel was raised in Lake County, where he snpnf 0 vp;irs nf his life. 'j He likes the similarity in s i lU! climate to Warm Stmntrs. 1 o "I love the weather here," he said. In his 26 years of teaching he finds Warm Springs staff the best. "There is a com mitment to the kids, they're friendly, helpful, and every teacher is here for the right rea son," says McDaniel. I lis wife, a nutrition counse lor, is currently finishing up her job before she moves here. Their two sons graduated from high school and are now attend ing college. "My oldest is living in Bend, and my youngest is at tending Western Oregon Uni versity," says McDaniel. This weekend McDaniel and his two sons will compete in a triathlon relay together in 1 lood River. Twenty-five years ago this week From the Spilyay Tymoo September 22, 1978 Court orders lower river season closed The first week of a seven week commercial fishing season in the lower Columbia River was cut short Tuesday, Septem ber 19 at 6 p.m. after attorneys for the four treaty tribes asked U.S. District Judge Robert Belloni to issue a temporary re straining order Monday. Belloni closed the area from the mouth of the Willamette River to Bonneville Dam 48 hours after it opened Sunday evening September 17. The judge agreed with U.S. Attorney Sidney Lczak, saying that if the season remained Story idea? open, the Indian fishermen would not have the opportunity to catch their share of the salmon "because an indetermi nate but significant number of fish destined for the upper Co lumbia River will be caught." The Columbia River Com pact, composed of the states of Oregon and Washington, had decided at their September 8 meeting to give non-Indian com mercial fishermen seven 4-day weeks of lower river fishing beginning September 17 and ending November 2. Lower river gillnetters had already had a four-day season August 15-19, and an addi tional two days in Zone 1 Sep tember 10 and 12. Mrs. Lee says "Jai Jien" to Warm Springs Ching-Ye Ixe, who has been the Public I Iealih nutritionist in Warm Springs for nearly seven years, ended that successful ca reer today. "My husband says I've been gone long enough," said the Chinese-born nutritionist. "We have a very good understand ing concerning each other's ca reers." Chiug-Yc, as she is most of ten called, came to America from China when she was in her late teens. I ler family moved to the East coast so the children could attend the Ivy League schools. "They were the only schools we had ever heard of while in China," she explained. Mrs. Lee did her graduate training at Columbia University in New York. She received her Master of Science in Nutrition in 1945 and later returned to acquire her Masters in Nutrition Education in 1952. Prior to Mrs. Lee's arrival, Warm Springs was without a nutrition specialist and therefore used the services of the OSU Extension office for basic nu trition needs and aides. But with , her arrival here in 1971, Ching Ye brought many hours of ex perience and knowledge in that field with the understanding that it would take about five years to set up successful and work able nutrition programs, 553-3274.
