The Warm Springs Boys and Girls Club received a donation last week from Kah-Nee-Ta
High Desert Resort and Casino.
Part of the $3,589 donation will be used to purchase a stove for the kitchen at the Boys
and Girls Club headquarters, in the Vernon Jackson building, said club director June
Smith. Also, part of the money will be used to replace some much-needed program
supplies, she said. On hand to receive the donation were Smith (holding check with Kah-
Nee-Ta general manager Garland Brunoe), and Boys and Girls Club members and staff.
Fisheries service urges denial of permit
(AP) — The National Marine
Fisheries Service says a p ro
posed liquefied natural gas ter
minal on the Columbia River
likely w ould harm valuable
salmon habitat.
The federal agency urged the
Army Corps o f Engineers to
deny NorthernStar Natural Gas
Inc, a permit to dredge the river,
at least until the NMFS has
more information.
A NorthernStar spokesman
characterized the letter last
month as routine.
Joe
D esm ond,
a
NorthernStar senior vice presi
dent, says without more infor
mation “they're pot in a position
to say yes.”
But the Fisheries Services
says building and operating the
terminal and dredging to make
way for massive tankers likely
would affect the estuary's vital
habitat.

Niix Pachwai inmi naimuma!
Inashwanisha Malia LaLonie
Collins. I would like to thank
everyone for supporting me this
past year for the 2007-2008
Ju n io r Q ueen for L incoln’s
B irthday
C elebration in
Simnasho.
This title has given me many
o p p o rtu n ities to m eet new
people and to represent our
Tribe and bring recognition to
the Lincoln’s Celebration.
I have been very fortunate
in being able to travel the coun
tryside and talk on many differ
ent microphones! I practiced
many times on my introduction
and my speech that I performed,
but sometimes I forgot to say
that Simnasho is in Oregon!
I went to so many powwows.
I made it to Muckleshoot, Uni
versity of Washington in Seattle,
Puyallup, P endleton, G ran d
Ronde, Portland State Univer
sity, Evergreen Community Col
lege, Yakama Treaty Days,
White Swan, Celilo, Toppenish’s
Washington Birthday Celebra
tion, Burns, Spokane Indian
Days in W ellpinit, Spokane
NW IYC powwow, C ouer
D ’Alene, California, and o f
course, Gathering o f Nations.
I also w ent to many local
powwows, including Simnasho
Shindigs and the New Year’s
C elebration we had at the
longhouse. We have been so busy
traveling, but we were able to
Malia LaLonie Collins
have two fundraisers at the
Community Center.
I am walking away from the
tide, but I will always have the
experience in my heart. I learned
how to talk in front o f large
groups of people, and I got the
chance to meet many veterans
and shake their hands. They al
ways had a smile for me and
they told me that I did a good
job. I felt proud standing next
to all o f them after each Grand
Entry.
I want to thank everyone for
encouraging me and supporting
me this past year by coming to
my fundraisers, I couldn’t have
done it w ith o u t all o f you.
Thank you, Teeney Tappo and
Noreen Greene for beading m y
Puthlapa, it is very beautiful and
I got a lot of compliments on
the beadwork. I will always take
care o f it and wear it on special
occasions.
Thank you to my family, es
pecially my mom and dad for
getting me to all those powwows
on time.
For my outgoing Special on
Feb. 8, 9 and 10, I will be hav
ing a Junior Jingle Dress Spe
cial for ages 7-9. For first place
I will be awarding $500 and a
Pendleton Jacket, for second
place, $350; and for third place,
$250. There will also be conso
lation prize money for the girls
who place fourth through tenth
places.
The reason why we chose to
have such big prize money is
because I have noticed that the
adults get a lot o f recognition
and us kids hardly do, and so I
wanted to change that, at least
for my special. I think kids out
there work really hard to be
come better dancers, and this is
my way o f helping them out.
My family will also be feeding
everyone at the powwow on
Saturday during dinner break.
I wish the candidates for this
year the best o f luck and hope
that they take the time to travel
and truly represent this powwow!
I had the time o f my life and
have m ade m any friends
throughout the powwow circuit.
