PAGE 4 August 14, 1987 Warm Springs, Oregon Spilyay Tvmoo Editorial E Coosfa EEWA (The way it is) Letters to the Editor "Sptfya? Speolts" fEDlTOR Once a year a person gets the urge to venture into the moun tains and load up with huckle berries. "Well, some people do.'' Spilyay spent the day jusl recently, combing the hills in search for those tasty little bug gers, called huckleberries. Using all his wit and skills of the mountains (romping through the underbrush of the berry fields, which once in the past a person could see for miles, but with all the new growth of high moun tain fir and snow brush its hard to see twenty feet at the most. From time to time a bush would appear with a good growth of berries, but there wasn't enough of these bushes to make picking worth while. It seemed like there must have been a nole in the bottom oi tne container because it appeared that no headway was made no matter how hard or fast the berries were picked. Could it have been that Spilyay was eating more than he was putting into the container. The temptation is too great to resist, all it takes is one hand full of those tasty little berries in the mouth and its hard to stop from eating. After all his effort of trying to get all the berries he could, Spilyay decided that, "What the heck, I'm out here just to eat all the berries I can." So from there things didn't seem so bad. Makes a person wonder of the demands some berry buyers make upon buying berries. They are the ones who should expe rience a day in the mountains trying to pick these little fellars. Try to Keep tne oasKet iree irom leaves ana stun, men go nome ana have someone tell you, your berries should be cleaned and to top it off the lowest price a person can offer for a gallon of berries. Some people would be embarassed to make demands like that. Some thing like a cheapskate, its bad enough to pick these berries in the first place let alone have to meet these demands. No matter how much berries erson gets or where he went, there is always one who will say, 'Tou went to the wrong patch, you should have gone here or there, the berries were as big as grapes." The only berries Spilyay saw that were as big as grapes were those as big as what they call, "Oregon Grapes," which are no larger than beads. Well, anyway it was a good day out in the fresh air getting some good exercise rather than spending the day glued to the tube watching some stupid ball game. YIKES. . .or should it have been just the opposite, being at home watching some ball game rather than trying to pick these stupid little berries. But anyway it was a good day. ..;;V; ... : .

"Sonia The Strange" Summer help appreciated The phone rings and a polite young man dashes across the office to answer. . .Hello KWSIKWSO can I help you? The summer youth program has been a success at KWSI KWSO due to the efforts of Scheldon Minnick and Richard Suppah-affectionately referred to as "radio indentured servants" or You have to practice to play To the People, We would like to take this time to thank all those that have donated to our traveling Co-ed softball team. They are: Bill's Home Center, Ahern's Market and Juniper Autos, with very special thanks to: Deschutes Crossing Buck and Susie Smith, Rainbow Market-Bob Mclnturff and Erickson's Sentry Market-Wylie. They helped us many, many times. We cannot forget our team mem bers who have "hung in there" thru it all! Our goal started out with the idea to keep ourselves and others' busy and show them they can have fun without alcohol and drugs playing. We remember when we were learning and how someone had taken time out for our mis takes, just because we weren't "good" enough for the experienced play ers. We go to tournaments to have fun and keep sportsmanship in mind because sportsmanship is more important than first, second or third. The players are learning how to conduct themselves, to work toget her as a team, to be patient, not to get mad, to be able to take correc tion and instruction, to be able to smile after a loss with the attitude of "we'll do better next time." We're Iparnintr not to he emitters if thines Our team is young, not only in age' don't go our way but to be faithful but in experience.. .to us, we believe and try hard, in giving all players a chance at This will help them in the game Toe Ness Confucius Say: "Many everybody!" YIKES. women have heart like Hotel. . .room for Golfers Terms: Celebrity, tournaments nonetheless. SS SS SS a lousy golfer who gets to play in a lot of YIKES SS SS SS Creative Golf: Flubbing your shots with such precision that your boss will actually believe he beat you fair and square. YIKES SSSS SS of life, which brings to mind the story which we call "the coach" (Easton's input) I sit and wonder what God must think when we don't practice what we preach. There was once this coach of a softball team. Everyone was happy, full of joy. Then, little by little, the joy and happiness was gone. Bitterness, hatred, division, envy, jealousy and pride set in. Some members thought they were too good for everyone else. So people stopped coming to practice until there were just a few faithful who came. A tournament came then everyone wanted to play but they had no practice. What did the coach do? He went out and found new players to fill the positions, players who wanted to practice and play as a team. The same with God, Him being the greatest coach of all. He's looking for people to fill positions in the body of Christ, the faithful. Eve ryone wants to play, but they don't want to practice. We hope someone gets a little something out of this story because it is the truth regardless if it is in some sport or in the walk of a Christian. P.S. Our team traveled to LaPush, Washington (July 1 8 and 19) and we brought back "Sportsmanship" plus two all-stars. Good going. Pebbles "Big Mudge" Smith and Easton Aguilar. Easton and Tina Aguilar just "those two hip guys." When not answering phones they would be completing CNN affe davits, typing up music lists, record ingtribal auction commercials, wash ing windows, taking out the garbage or rearranging furniture. Or, they may have been in the production room listening to new records and checking the charts to find out the nation's latest hit tunes in prepara tion for their 6-8 p.m. airshifts on KWSO 91.9 FM. Little Rich and Scheldon have been an asset to the stations over the course of the summer. Their help with anything thrown at them, covering virtually every aspect of radio, will not soon be forgotten by the stations' staff. And fear not they'll continue to roll the hits on KWSO in the early evenings as long as there is music to be played. Stay tuned! And thanks to these guys for a job well done.
