Page 4 November 19,1982 Spilyay Tymoo Editorial E Coosh EEWA: (The way it is) Letters to the editor Indian foresters in demand funds are currently available for the tuition. As you are aware, the Portland Area Office, Forestry Branch, began funding an In d ia n F o r e s te r In te rn Program in 1980 with the initial enrollment set at ten. Unfortunately, there were an additional 12 applicants that were qualified but could not be accepted due to funding limitations. Since this Intern Program has been highly successful, with five out of the ten already completing their academic requirements for conversion to the 460 Forester Classification, and because of the great need for Indian Foresters, we must give the Intern Program first priority if any a d d itio n a l fo re stry education funds become available. (Submitted to Spilyay for publication) Mr. Delbert Frank, Sr. Chairman Tribal Council P.O. Box C Warm Springs, Oregon 97761 Dear Mr. Frank: We have reviewed your proposal for a forestry technician training program which was forwarded from the Central Office. The concept of holding this training on the reservation in conjunction with Central Oregon Community College has many advantages and should be supported. We are pleased that the Central Office, Division of Forestry, can furnish supplies and equipment even though no B u d g e t h e a rin g revenue sh a rin g on $$ We regret to say, therefore, that your regular education programs funds are all that are available at this time, but we wholeheartedly support and applaud your effort since it is by providing appropriate education at all levels and inali areas that the greatest progress on reservations will be achieved.

I am very happy that many parents visited with the high schol teachers and me during Parent Conference Day. It was very beautiful to see many faces at the school. It will be extremely beneficial to your child in the long run. Parents, I would like to remind you about becoming involved with your children as much as possible with their education. It shows concern and caring, especially for those students who may be entering “Alternative Education.” After the quarter, more students may be placed into Alternative Education due to lack of attendance, short credits, and health. Parents must know what Alternative Education is and how it will benefit their son or daughter. Much encou ragement is needed for the Indian youth to keep going and to “hang in there” no matter how difficult it may seem. When a parent is involved, the road to a diploma may not be as difficult as it appears. S tu d e n ts sh o u ld tak e advantage of the visiting colleges and programs for Indian students. Programs such - as: U n iv ersity of Colorado, Upward Bound P rogram , P o rtlan d Area Indian H ealth P rogram , Eastern Oregon State College, and Central Oregon Communi ty College. Students should be sure to sign up with the counselors and read the daily announcements so they will know when the program is at the high school. The Title IV Enrichment program has approved meal monies for Senior students wishing to attend the Third annual Northwest Indian Education Career workshop at Chemawa. Any one wanting more information should see me as soon as possible. The Indian club will be having fund-raising events from time to time, and I encourage everyone to help out in their efforts.
