ing our time of grief. My heart is sad. David, you will be missed by all of
us.

Come and get to know your candidates.
To Smoke Signals...
As Chairman for the Elders' Mother's Day Tea, I want to thank you for
the beautiful ad. It was just gorgeous. It contributed much to the Tea's
success.
A special Thank You to Kim (Campbell) for the extra work she put in on
the sheet music. When "Peachie" (Tribal Elder Annabelle Hamm) sang
the room was very hushed. The faces of all showed thoughts of love,
memories, happiness and even some tears. It was very special and I think
all had a special moment with their mother.
My deep appreciation,
Wilma Fenwick

Pride In Their Work Smoke Signal's new newspaper machines
can now be found locally throughout Grand Ronde (and soon in Willamina and
Sheridan) and in Salem (currently at Chemeketa Community College). Public
Information staffers and Tribal members Justin Phillips (left) and Willie Mer
cier show off the new machines that sport the Tribal logo.
Corrections:
Positions on the Tribe's Housing Board are not paid positions as
previously reported in the Committee Feature in the May 15 edition.
B Joe Kirk works for the Social Services program and not the Adult
Vocational Rehabilitation program as indicated in the photo cutline
in the June 1 edition.
The amount of money given by Boyd's Coffee to the Tribe's Rodeo
Committee was $7,500 and not $5,000 as reported in the June 1
edition. Boyd's has been a sponsor since 1996 and will unveil a new
logo at this year's rodeo on June 22 and 23.
