The First Salmon Ceremony is a sacred event. The tribal fishermen always knew when it was time for the salmon to return. All fishing stopped as soon as the first salmon was caught, and immediate preparations were made on shore for its reception. Not until these preparations were complete could that salmon be brought ashore. All the sick people must be removed from the village, as were pregnant women and those women and girls who were in their regular monthly time. All dead bodies of people and animals must be removed from the village. It was a must for the village to go through a thorough house-cleaning.

First off, I would like to ask for help on behalf of Fire Commissioner Randy Pennington of the Lewis County Fire District 15. As we all remember with horror, on Dec. 14 20-year-old Adam Lanza fatally shot twenty children as well as six adult staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Pennington would like to present Medals of Honor to the families of the teachers who died defending students. To raise funds, they will be holding a fill-the-boot in addition to a full Spaghetti dinner at the Winlock Community Building next to the fire department this Saturdayfrom 4 to 8 p.m. They are currently accepting donations for a silent auction, which is to be held at the same time.
We would like to thank the businesses who supported the Winlock Backpack Program following Make a Difference Day. Additional monies were collected in donation cans at Winlock Auto Parts, Yours, Mine and Ours Salon, Guadalajara, the Club, the Fire House, and the Handy Store. Additional food was collected by MacKenzies's Salon, Timberland Bank, and All About Accounting. The support by these businesses and the community has been truly amazing!
