Or drop by the Employment Service Office in the tribal Administration building. The Deer Ridge facility is B o w le r — Growing up with five sisters (and as the youngest), Greene said, was always interesting, challenging and memorable. That’s why he worked with several cousins to form the group. “ My co u sin s becam e my brothers and we form ed the drumming group,” he said. Now, as the Quartz Creek Drum and Dance Group, they perform in various fundraisers throughout the year, and have been selected as a “ host drum” for several pow-wos, Indian Nights Out, and for the early ch ildh ood pro gram , m iddle school and high school. About a year ago, the group was featured in a special for O regon Public Broadcasting about the Confederated Tribe o f Warm Springs. During filming o f the special, Greene said, they were able to perform at the Rose Garden in P ortlan d as p art o f N ative American Day for the second year in a row. “ We enjoy doin g p e rfo r m ances,” he said. “Wherever we’re asked to go, we go.” During whatever time he has left, Greene works at ranch ing— laboring in hay fields and raising cattle on his fam ily’s ranch. Bowling, however, is a hobby that will remain consistent in Greene’s life for many years to co m e— e sp ecially sin ce he serves as the president for the Warm Springs Bowling League. G reene also serves as the chairman for the holiday bowl ing tour. “ I had some big shoes to fill there because it used to be my dad’s,” Greene said. F o r his fellow bow lers, Greene advises that calmness is the best method. “ D o n ’t get excited or ner vous,” Greene cautioned. “ Just continue to do the routine things throughout the game. D on’t sit there and think about it; that is when excitement and nerves could overcome your game.” Greene joins Ray Shike, Jr.; D elano “ Satch” Miller; John Wright; Dick Souers; the late Vernon Tanewasha; and the late Gerald Nicodem us as a tribal m ember from Warm Springs who has achieved a perfect 300. In 2004 G reene won two m aster’s events: the first at a tournament in Yakima, the sec (Continued from page 2) “ It’s a wonderful feeling see ing all o f the kids down there doing something,” Greene said. “We have to keep them busy and occupied.” It’s something that Greene said wouldn’t be possible with out the volunteer coaches that make the league successful and share their skills and talents— something he appreciates. Greene believes that the rec reation department helps pro mote worthwhile activities for local youth. “That’s what we hope for,” he explained— and it’s som e thing that encourages him to strive for success in his position. While the recreation depart ment once had as many as 10 employees, Greene now relies on four full-time workers and a few part-time employees. However, he credits the abil ity to create positive programs for youth on his dedicated staff members. Over the years Greene has seen many changes in the de partment, and some aren’t the changes he would like to see. “ I hate to say it,” he said. “There is a decline in kids’ in terest.” “This used to be the place to be,” he said. Now, however, he said many children are becom ing interested in things like video games and other activities. “ T h at’s a hard challenge,” Greene said. “You just have to make what is available the best you can.” As for the staff, he said, they work hard to make the experi ence as worthwhile as possible for the youth that do take ad vantage o f the center. Like any person, Greene isn’t without his personal struggles. In 1988, he said, “ I had a life changing experience.” That year he sought treat ment for alcoholism. It was something that he said became especially crucial after beginning to work with the rec reation department. “ It was important to me in the position that I held, being a role m odel for so many chil dren,” Greene explained. N ow he has been alcohol- free since 1988— “That’s impor tant,” he said. According to Greene, it was so m eth in g that m attered in terms o f gaining respect and trust amongst participants at the community center, as well as re spect as a person in the com munity and surrounding areas. “Although we’re a small com munity, you want to be some body positive,” G reene said. “ It’s important to the kids that come here on a daily basis.” Because o f his interest in cul tural aspects, Greene said, he participates in a local drumming group. “ It’s teachings that have been handed down,” Greene said o f his drumming. In his opinion, “ I f you have an opportunity to share a cul tural teaching with a youth or individual, the culture will carry on.” He became more involved in drumming when his drumming group was founded in 1997. under construction near M a dras, and will employ several hundred people when it is op erational in the next couple o f years. A computer/orien tations session is scheduled in Warm Springs in the Higher Education building computer room from 10 a.m. to 12 noon on Friday, Feb. 9. ond in the O m ak All Indian Event. * D u rin g a to u rn am en t in Yakima Greene also received a plaque awarding him for achiev ing 11 strikes in a row.
