Squiemphen walks to train and relax
By Selena Boise
Spilyay Tymoo
From walking for fun to
walking in competition. 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.

Marathon 2002. She is
currently preparing for the
2003 Marathon.

Some lucky winner will be driving away in this 2003
Hummer 2 on September 27, from the Kah-Nee-Ta High
Desert Resort and Casino. There is a drawing scheduled
for 10 p.m. and one out of 85 tickets will be the winner of
this burnt orange Hummer. Anyone winning a $50
jackpot or more since July has been entered into the
drawing barrel. Additional drawings are held on Fridays
and Saturdays from this drawing barrel for entry into
another drawing barrel for the Hummer 2.
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.

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,
