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.

All welcome to bowling party
Happy 20th Birthday!! "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

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

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.

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.

To the Editor,
It has been a pleasure to provide

Your young people were friendly,
courteous and snowed very good
sportsmanship each week.
It was rewarding to see them

them continue bowling this fall but
