Letters to the Editor
"Spifyay Spealts"
participated in the discussion on the off-track betting. There really
isn't much point for the general public's input on the matter
because there has been perimutual betting for several years at the
Crooked River Round-Up horse racing. It was also said that all
betting would take place in the Riverhouse lounge and no one
under 21 years of age is permitted on the premises.
All betting and pay-offs would take place just as though the
bettor is right at the race track. Regular track cashiers would be on
hand to handle all the ticket sales as well as the pay-offs. It is also
said that the bettor would have the same odds as those who would
be betting right at the track.
This added attraction would just take good common sense as
long as the individuals don't get carried away and lose the shirts off
their backs.

Thanks for
To the Editor,
I realize that my letter is overdue,
but I would like to congratulate all
of the winners from the 1 3th annual
Holiday Bowling Tournament.
At this time, I would like to
thank the Tournament committee
for the opportunity of working
with them. The real backbone of
this Bowling Tournment needs some
special recognition. I tip my hat to
Cougar and Norene Greene, and
Margie Tuckta. These are
probably the best right and left
hands that any one could hope for.
Thank you also to Sandra Greene,
Carolyn Johnson, Pelton Lanes
and Jeff Toms for all their effort
and work.
Everyone knows who the prize
winners were, but the tournament
also had another kind of award:
The annual Chickenhawk Award.
From the beginning to the end, I
find something for my awards.

Off-track betting? Why not?
Although some people are
opposed to all kinds of gam
bling, I think this would serve
its purpose for those who like to
play the horses and some even
go to the dogs.
With the nearest race track in
Portland, this would give Cen
tral Oregonians a chance to bet
and sec the races on TV moni
tors. The Riverhouse lounge in
Bend has been selected for the
site of off-track betting in Cen
tral Oregonian.
It was said that there is a
mall citizen's group who have
joncerns on the off-track bet-
j :ing here. They claim the general
jubhc had no input on the mat
ter and would like to have
for you!
You shall be missed by me
For you always gave me a smile
You shall be missed by me
For you always carried me that
long mile
You shall be missed by me
For you always brought me laughter
You shall be missed by me
For you always put me first
You shall be missed by me
Your memory will be in my heart
always.

Craftsmen seek support
Craftsmen are invited to discuss

their work.
"My concern is for people who
need to sell their work," says Max

effort. As a businesswoman, she
with other craftsmen are looking
for an outlet.
Switzler has inquired about using
the Longhouse for the purpose of
selling craft items but has met with
some opposition. And the Com
munity Center, she relates, is
always being used for other activities.

To everyone concerned,
I am so thankful today because
God saw me fit to be alive. He
brought me out of a suicidal state. I
had scars inside that were so pain
ful, I was too ashamed to let anyone
know why I hurt. My emotional
scars were healed but I have two
arms that will be scarred till, pray
erfully, I will be whole and un
marked when I walk those streets
of gold.
I hurt so much for the ones that '
don't know where to turn when
that suicidal spirit takes hold. I
hear so many people say, "If you
ever need someone to talk to, call
me anytime." We're all so con
cerned but where are we when that
call finally comes? We're busy at
the moment, call back., no answer,
it's three a.m., call at a decent hour.
Our young kids need help, not
later, not tomorrow, but today!
What good will a museum be
when all our kids are committing
suicide? Alcoholism and drug ad
diction are forms of suicide. When

If I left anyone out, I'm sorry. I'd
like to thank those who bowled
and I hope you had a good one.

Switzler says she "would like the
Tribe to be aware of the needs of
craftsmen." Making and selling
these items not only keeps people
busy, it helps them earn money and
keeps traditions alive. Most crafts
men, she says, "are enthused about
what they are doing."
Craftsmen who would like to
talk about their concerns and pres
ent their ideas are invited to call
Switzler at 553-1033 or Jackie
Johnson at 553-1590 after 5:00
p.m. If enough interest is generated

Parents,
Hey Parents! To all who care for
children or pay the bills to feed and
clothe children, I have found a
problem that can be dealt with
right here in Warm Springs. A
question with a real answer. The
problem is children who never fin
ish high school. Children who never
go to school. Or children who will
not work at their studies. The an
swer is US. We parents and guard
ians must tell our kids to say "YES"
to education. Follow this Teachers

people, just like in Madras. The

The hoop was something very special,
from the Scott family. Another beaded
key chain was also made and donated
by Charolette Shike and family as a
memorial for both as part of the " M up
Award", which went too Art Escalunte
of the Oregon Travelers.
Anyone could have placed in the
finals, for a lot of up coming teams,
came to play. No one underrated their
opponents. 11 they did, then they were
defeated or had to play a little harder
to win their games. The talent is here,
it's just up to the teams to ask individu
als too play. It gives individuals some
thing to look forward to on weekends,
tournaments. They learn by playing
time and coaching, giving them expe
rience as time goes on. They may not
win them all now, but in time the
results will change, have patience.
All they need is self confidence,
working on fundamentals and prac
tice, with playing time. For no one is
born a ball player, they must be taught,
Its up too the individual to listen. To
practice what they've learned to better
themselves. They must learn from their
mistakes and never make excuses fot
their defeats, when the game is over
win or lose, it's history. Just be ready
for the next game coming up. "Nevet
under rate any opponent." Never keep
stats on yourself, it'll just throw youi
game. Use good teamwork, and hustle.
If someone is having a bad game, you
must work a little harder or if someone
has a little less experience, you musi
learn to adapt and overcome the situa
tions. "A good ball player can do so
making the individual that much more
valuable to the team."
