Great website
Faces of a Reservation by
Cynthia Stowell was pub-
lished 30 years ago, featur-
ing photographs and profiles
of War m Springs tribal
members.
Ms. Stowell has created a
website to keep the photo-
graphs of Faces of a Reser-
vation in circulation. You
can find the site at faces-of-
a-reservation.com
Be sure to enlarge each
picture and see the captions,
as well as the background

Canoe Journey
Hello,

ing the hard landing, place

We discussed the tenta-
tive schedule, confirming
dates with longhouse leaders
and soft landing areas. As
the plans are confirmed, we
will keep you updated.

enue, Vancouver, Washing-
ton. Time to be announced.

follows:

ment.

For students
I wanted to extend a big
thank you to our community.
I am serving as the 2018
chaperone for the students
selected to travel in June to
Tomi City, Japan.
The students were chosen
via an application process with
the Madras Sister City Pro-
gram. The students had to
raise $2,500 each for their
trip to Japan. That is $10,000
total! Not a problem when
you have so much support.
Thank you for supporting
them with your participation
in their can drive and prize
raffle.
We would also like to thank
Indian Head Casino, Warm
Springs Power and Energy
Enterprise, Johnson O’
Malley Scholarship Commit-
tee, the City of Madras, Ro-
tary and Kiwanis for the gen-
erous donations.
These students are going
to have an amazing experi-
ence, that they will remember
for the rest of their life.
Thank you for showing them
how great it is to be part of a
supportive community!
Thanks.

Ellen and I like it, because
it helps us be aware of what
we should know. We both
know a newspaper in all cit-

grandfather Delbert
Frank Sr. went into the
Navy during World War

do not permanently ban me
from your store. Instead of
going someplace else, I would
rather just go into your store,
which I’ve missed, including
the deli food. I also go there
because your prices are good,
and I know the staff well.
They are very nice and help-
ful, another reason why I like
your store. Once more I am
very sorry.
