Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians
Eatherly, Fawver Receive Volunteer
of the Year Award
hy Diane Rodriquez
Two Siletz community residents
received the Volunteer of the Year
award from the North Lincoln Hospi
tal Foundation at the organization’s
annual dinner in March.
Sue Eatherly and Debby Fawver
received the award for volunteering to
paint a mural in a room sponsored by
the Siletz Tribe at Samaritan North Lin-
colh Hospital in Lincoln City, Ore.
In August 2006. the Siletz Tribal
Charitable Contribution Fund awarded
$5.000 to the hospital foundation for a
room makeover. The charitable fund
was the first group to step up to donate
money for - and complete - a room
makeover at SNLH.
Following the August 2006 chari
table distribution. Sue and Debby ap
proached the tribe with an offer to paint
a mural in the room that was represen
tative of the tribe. Euchre Creek Falls,
a traditional tribal fishing site mat still is
in use today, was selected for the mural.
“Sue and Debby provided a price
less donation to both the tribe and Sa
maritan North Lincoln Hospital by
painting a gorgeous and true represen
tation of Euchre Creek Falls,” said
Delores Pigsley, tribal chairman, as she
helped present the award at the dinner.
The mural became the main focus
of the room makeover and all other
elements were designed to complement
the mural. The quilts and valances also
incorporate the tribe’s basketweave
design.
Sue and Debby always seem to be
involved in something in Siletz,
whether it’s an after-school art program
with the Siletz. Valley Partnership, city
wide and Highway 229 cleanups, a
Christmas tree ornament-making party
for youth, or installing and maintain
ing the large flower baskets along
Gaither St :n Siletz.
Thank you. Sue and Debby, for al!
you do for the citizens of Siletz.

Progress or the Nation’s Report Card.
Selected students in grades 4 and 8 were
assessed in reading and mathematics.
NAEP is a congressionally man
dated project of the National Center for
Education Statistics in the U.S. Depart
ment of Education.
We also are in the process of ad
ministering our state-required testing in
grades 3 to 8 and grade 10 in the high
school. This year ODE is changing the
way student test scores are counted.
Students will need to score higher
on the tests in order to meet or exceed
the standard scores that have increased
by 3 percentage points over last year.
We have received our school's report
card from last year’s testing and have
sent it out to parents.
