NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURAL
EDUCATIONAL COMMITTEE
No drugs or alcohol permitted!!!
The Parent Committee wishes to extend a special
invitation to you, to attend our Annual Pow - Wow,
which will be held April 28, this year.
Our Pow Wow is small when compared to many. We
like to think it is one of very few that are not commer
cialized. We offer many forms of welcome. We realize
we have people who travel great distances to be with us,
so we offer afternoon snacks, at no cost. This usually
consists of sandwiches, coffee, punch and cake. Just a
little something, until dinner.
We have craft tables available. We normally ask some
small item to offer for our drawings.
We always have a BIG dinner, ham, turkey, salads,,
vegetables, breads, desserts,1 etc. This also is at no cost.
We do offer overnight accommodations. Basically, our
Pow - Wow is held at our School Gym. The overnight
accommodations consist of a sleeping bag affair, on
tumbling mats. But, all who wish to join, are made
welcome and are served breakfast the next morning.
If there is anything I have failed to mention, please
direct any questions you may have to Mary Trcvino. She
has joined us in the past and can be of assistance in
planning.
I, more than most look forward to a group joining us
from Grand Ronde. Pow - Wow is a time of sharing,
making new friends and simply being a part of all those
who can gather in one place. Each Pow - Wow is a
mixture of new and old and each is unique, the same and
yet a little different at the same time. Please know you
will be made welcome.
The following is additional information not covered in
our flyers. We need to know as soon as possible how
many to plan for our annual Pow - Wow on April 28,
1990, particularly in the food area. We intend to provide
the main dish and other items as well. For those
traveling who may wish to contribute, we thought
dessert items would be easier to transport.
We also have overnight accommodations available and
will provide breakfast. Again, we need to know how
many to plan for.
Our Pow - Wow begins at 2:00 pm, dinner will be
served at 4:30 pm, Grand Entry is planned at 6:00 pm
and Pow - Wow will end at 10:00 pm.
Wc have tables available to display crafts, demonstra
tions and sales. Tables arc $3.00 for a single, $5.00 for a
double or and item for our drawing. The set-up crew
will be at the school from 12:00 noon on. You may call
863-4942 to reserve your table (s) or take your chances
on a first come, first serve basis.
Please respond to the following areas. You may write
to the school at the above address or call 863-3272. Or

in the Warm Spring 6 foot and under tournament during
February.

to pull out the victory.
Grand Ronde played the Ma'gpics and after a hard
fought battle of the boards lost 64-58.
Lenny Logan scored 6 points, Larry Hofenbredl had 16
points and Leland Hofenbredl scored 6 points as well.
Kevin Hofenbredl matched Larry's 16 with 16 of his own
and Greg Leno added 14.
The second game was played in Madras, Grand Ronde
poured it on. run and gun Grand Ronde led by as many
as 24 points at one time in this game. The highlight of
the game was a clutch 3 pointer by the player-coach,
Tom Jones. Greg Leno led all players with 29 points.
Lenny Logan had 6 and Derrick Olsen had 7. Larry
Hofenbredl scored 3 points and LeLand Hofenbredl had
14. Kevin Hofenbredl added 15 points and the amazing
Tom Jones was held to a season low and high 3 points.
The final game for Grand Ronde was played Saturday
afternoon. Not a good game for Grand Ronde in the
first half. Lenny Logan led Grand Ronde with 25 points.
Final score was 86-59.
Special thanks goes to the following sponsors of the
team. Everyone wishes to thank you for your help. Next
time we'll smoke'em!

Ed Larson, Grand Ronde Shopping Center, Greg
Archuleta, and the Tribal Council all contributed
needed funds for the trip.
Oregon Opener April 28th
Oregon's general trout season opens the fourth
Saturday of April, which means that the 1990 opener will
be April 28 - the latest opening date possible.
The late opening could have important effects on some
fisheries, such as those that are best right after ice-off.
The shallow-water fishing for lake trout at Crescent
Lake is best as the ice breaks up, so a late opening could
mean that the best fishing conditions were before the
season opens. When considering fishing areas that have
been good in the past, check local conditions before
going. If we have late spring, and late ice-off, then such
fisheries could be as good as usual.
Although many state waters ate open year-round, and a
few do not open until later, this late-April opener is
considered by most anglers to be the opening of trout
season. There are many variations, however, so be sure
to check the official angling regulations; they are
available from any business selling hunting and angling
licenses, any regional department of fish and wildlife
office or the main office of the ORegon Department of
Fish and Wildlife, Box 59, Portland, OR 97207 (503
229-5403).
