a lthough Che e e (P l W g e )has lived in Redmond most of his life, he is
perhaps better known outside of town for
his sharing of songs and stories of the Coast
Salish peoples. Please join us on March 13,
when Che oke ten will talk of both cultures
~ witnessing so many changes in what was
once a very rural Redmond, and sharing the
warmth, humor and wisdom of Coast Salish
stories (or teachings, in the tradition of this
land). Hell be interweaving his Spirit-gifted
songs on Native American ute along with
traditional tribal drum songs.
A member of the Vancouver Island
Saanich Tribe, Che oke ten often visits
relatives in his tribal homeland and has made
it his mission to keep the traditional teachings
alive in the hearts of people of todays world
and to honor the original ancestors of the
places in which we live.
Che oke ten, Paul Wagner

RHs neWs I n m emoriam :a mo m arr
o ne of the Redmond Historical Societys earliest supporters, Cl eam M ie Ch pi M passed away on February 22, 2010.
In 1927, when Clare was just three, her family arrived in Redmond from
Libby, Montana, and lived on the Red Brick Road. Amo graduated from
Redmond High in 1943, and then worked at Lakeside Drugs.
Amo had been on the Society board for several years, and was most
recently in charge of sending birthday cards to members 90 or better! She
was also a long-time member of the Nokomis Club, serving for a time as
president of the states oldest service organization.
Proud of her many years in Redmond, Amo was a regular of the
Old Redmond lunch bunch that meets weekly at the Village Cafe. Those
longtimers, as well as others who knew Amo, will miss ~ but certainly wont
forget ~ her larger-than-life presence.
The Nokom s womens serv ce club was a favor te of Amos and she often rode n ts entr n theDerb Da s parade. Here shes seen second from left along w th Rose Weiss , far left, dr ver DianthaJanus and Jennie Bryden , Amos half s ster. (Photo b M guel Llanos.)

m y bike was one of myproudest possessions. It was a gift
for my ninth birthday in 1945. World
War II was about to nally come toan end, and bicycles, that had been
nearly impossible to get during the
past few years, were now slowly
becoming available once again . . .
It was a deep wine-red color
with gold and white trim. Im not
sure which bicycle company built it,but it had a ashy metal nameplate
that said Thunderbird.
My buddies and I used to ride
our bikes all over town and even out
in the countryside, but most of time
we rode around the school grounds.
My pal Rollie and I would putplaying cards in our spokes, and
putt around the neighborhood. Im
sure the neighbors got very tired of
the noise, but no one complained,
at least to us anyway. Inside their
homes, they were most likely all
saying, Dont those damn kids haveanything better to do than ride up
and down our street making that
god-awful racket?
It was a carefree life. Some
Mdays, Rollie and I would pack a
lunch and tie our shing poles to the
fenders of our bikes and ride over to
Bear Creek, where wed spend theday trying to catch the little rainbow
and cutthroat trout from its brush-
choked pools . . .
Near the end of the war, Boyd
Kinney, a close family friend, came
home on leave from the Navy after
the battle for Okinawa ended. Hepaid us a visit, and while he was at
our house, I showed him my new
bike.
He took it out for a spin on the
school grounds and a few minutes
later he came walking back to the
house carrying a piece of my bike ineach hand.
His shirt was torn and his arm
was all scuffed up and bleeding.
Darn goose neck broke, he said, I
darn near broke my neck, too.
I envisioned the headlines in the
morning newspaper: SAILOR WHOSURVIVED OKINAWA BREAKS
NECK RIDING BICYCLE
Both Boyd and the bike were
eventually repaired.
From time to time, we run excerpts from Society member Bob
Martins book, The Way I Remember It. Most of the names Ive usedare ctional, he says, but all the events happened as described with
just a pinch of embellishment. Heres an excerpt about childhood,World War II and the late Boyd Kinney .
