visitors a safe journey home.

Congratulations to the Willamina Middle School wrestlers for an
undefeated season two years in a row! The Wolverines won their
own home tournament in February, where they hosted 8 regional
teams. On March 16, they had their last meet at home against Neil
Armstrong Middle School of Cornelius. This year's team record was
15-0. Good job, boys! Many of the 8th graders will go on to wrestle
at Willamina High School, whose wrestling team won the state
championship this year. Tribal member wrestlers at Willamina
Middle School are: BRETT LENO, 90 pounds, 16 wins, 2 losses; LEE

CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
Look to this day, for it is life. The very life of life.
In its brief course lie all the realities and verities of existence.
The bliss of growth, the splendor of action, the glory of power
For yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision.
But today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day.
