E Coosh EEWA: The wgy it is Letters to the Editor H ü a g weekend at the powwow B y Selena B oise Management Succèsso? ■; Well, I hope that everyone has a good time at the Pi-Ume- Sha Powwow this weekend. It is always a time to get together with all Spilyay your family mem- Speaks bers who do the ------i poWwow trail during the sum mer. Plus there are numerous ac tivities surrounding this powwow — there is always something go ing on in the morning, afternoon and evening. So, there should be something for everyone. Whether you like rodeo, softball, boxing, running, or maybe the endurance face, you will find something to do each day. We can’t forget the food that will be "'served while you are at the powwow. I am always ready to eat an Indian taco, especially when it is made fresh. But there will be other foods that are good too. And why not wash it down with a cup of strawberry lem onade or any kind of soda you might like to drink? Seems like the weekend just gets started and then in a few days you realize it’p almost over. This will usually happen when you are having such a good time that you forget all about time and day. ¿Sometimes you meet new people, make new friends, and then you will eventually have to say good bye to them because the weekend comes to an end. Also be aware of the traffic iftffiecommumty and along the qjgliway. There are always safety issues where Vehicles are con cerned. For one there will be a lot of vehicles here from out of town and sometimes they drive slow because they are lost, be, patient. ' And you should always keep an eye out for drivers who are all over the road, or driving too fast. Sometimes drivers can be unpredictable in their direction and speed. T But with all this to consider have a good time at the pow wow, buckle up, drive safe. ‘ Correction An photo caption in the previous Spilyay, identify ing members of a welding class at: Madras High School, misidentified one of the students as “Ron Suppah.” The student ac tually is Ron Smith.
