12 S moke S ignals NOVEMBER 1, 2015 Hudson receives Oregon Veterans Medal Tribal Elder Herman Hudson, 90, re- ceived an Oregon Veterans Medal during a presentation held in late September at Chinook Winds Casino Resort in Lincoln City. The annual Celebration of Honor rec- ognizes active duty personnel, military veterans and their families. The event also included a Ride of Honor led by the Oregon Coast Veterans Associ- ation and the re-dedication of the Desert Storm Memorial in front of the casino. Hudson served in the U.S. Navy from 1942 to 1945. He went to high school in Keizer and Salem until his junior year at Salem’s North High School, when he joined the Navy. “It was during the war, you know, and that was what you did, I guess,” he told Smoke Signals in 2013. “My uncles that I was closest to went into the service, so I did, too.” The Navy took Hudson to the South Pacific, where he said he was on “the deck force.” That means, he said, he scrubbed the decks. In the service, he also learned to cut hair. The ship’s regular barber was shipping out, so he taught Hudson to cut hair and the Navy was a good proving ground. “Out in the South Pacific,” he said, “they didn’t care much about how their hair looked.” His ship escorted fleet oilers. “We’d tie up alongside that oiler, and I took my (hair cutting) box out and put a can out if they wanted to throw something in.” The Oregon Veterans Medal is a custom-designed medal that signifies Oregon’s appreciation for the service and sacrifice of vet- erans. To qualify, an application form at www.veteransoforegon. com must be completed with proof of military service attached. n Socialization event Honoring Goodall Contributed photo Tribal member Inatye Lewis, who attends Jane Goodall Environmental Middle School in Salem, recently gifted the school’s namesake with a dentalium necklace on behalf of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. Inatye is a seventh-grader at the school this year and his brother, Saghaley, also attended the school but is now a freshman at South Salem High School. Both boys met the noted British primatologist when she attended the Oregon Youth Summit, where the Middle School had a booth, held Thursday, Oct. 15, at David Douglas High School in Portland. Goodall posed for pictures with the school, which has 99 students, and Saghaley and Inatye gave her a beaded necklace on behalf of the school as well. They are the sons of David and Donna Lewis.

Special Event Board seeking help from younger veterans The Tribal Veterans Special Event Board is attempting to recruit younger veterans – Iraqi and Afghanistan veterans – to join. “Our committee is getting older,” said Veterans SEB Chairman Steve Bobb Sr., who is a Vietnam War-era Marine Corps veteran. Members of the SEB attend events as flag carriers and represent the Tribe, as well as their branch of service. Veterans interested in volunteering should contact Tribal Council Chief of Staff Stacia Martin at 503-879-2304 or stacia.martin@grandronde.org. n We will have awesome door prizes.

DATE: NOVEMBER 20 TH 2015 TIME: 6:00pm PLACE: Tribal Gym INSIDE OUT PG NO SMOKING WITH IN 10 FEET OF EN- TRENCE OF BUILDING, PLEASE DISPOSE OF CIGARETTE BUTTS SAFELY AND PROPERLY 102 minutes Emotions run wild in the mind of a little girl who is uprooted from her peaceful life in the Mid- west and forced to move to San Francisco in this Pixar adventure from director Pete Docter (Up, Monsters Inc.). Young Riley was perfectly content with her life when her father landed a new job in San Francisco, and the family moved across the country. Now, as Riley prepares to navigate a new city and attend a new school, her emotional headquarters becomes a hot bed of activity. As Joy (voice of Amy Poehler) attempts to keep Riley feeling happy and positive about the move, other emotions like Fear (voice of Bill Hader), Anger (voice of Lewis Black), Disgust (voice of Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith) make the transition a bit more complicated.
