"Spifyay Spealts" 4-H basketball team deserves congratulations
As a matter of convenience to
the post office without the
congestion getting to and from
the parking lot a study should
be made to determine a better
method which would eliminate
the traffic jams caused there
during the rush hours each day.
There are times when it is almost
impossible to get in or out of the
parking lot. People trying to enter
while people are trying to leave
and the road is all tied up where
traffic backs up and causes
problems for individuals who
are trying to use the area.
There must be a solution to a
small problem such as this. Rip
some curbs to make a one way
street going all the way around
the old administration building.
There's no such big emergencies as to close streets around that area
and whose stupid idea was it to prevent all parking around the
building. That would help to solve some of the parking problems
around the post office if people were to park on the street.
AHH-NA-CHI-TOON!!!

Well, it won't be long until the kids will be going back to school.
Where has this summer gone? Just whizzed by. All the students
will be getting their final pay check from their summer jobs. The
whole organization was buzzing with students working during
their vacations. Many departments will miss their summer help as
they have been doing good on their jobs. During the summer
months student trainee jobs give the kids a chance to see what it is
like on the job in a field they might be interested in. Sometimes a
field is not as pretty as it may appear to students after they have
spent some time on the job, and they can change their minds on
what profession to study later on in school. Well, anyway, they get
the feel of things and a chance to earn some school shopping
money before they settle down for another school year. "NEIGH"

To the editor,
I want to acknowledge our 4-H
beginner's basketball club. Foster
Kalama worked with boys and
girls that never before knew any
thing about basketball. He then
recruited Mclvin Tewce to coach
the boys while he concentrated on
the girls. All their dedication was
soon to be recognised. Foster was
the commissioner for the 1 3 and
under girls in the Oregon State
Games as Mclvin was for the 13
and under boys.
I was very happy when Foster
asked if I could help out because
not only were these kids represent
ing 4-H, they were representing our
community and the Central Ore
gon area. Our girls (the Columbia
River Bcars4-H team) were small
and young compared to the other
teams that were entered to play.
But that didn't stop them from try
ing and playing hard. 1 am proud
of their hard efforts along with
their acceptance of each foul and
other calls made against them.
They never argued, cried, cussed or
quit playing because of the odds
against them.
The sad part of this event was
things that shouldn't have hap
pened in the very beginning. One
team had been protested against
because the players were 14 and 15
years old. Its one thing to not know
the rules and regulations but to
knowingly pass off these girls as 13
years and under just to win is not
teaching these players to be honest.
I had seen parents and coaches yell
and scream, protest, cuss and act as
if the game was a live and die situa
tion. ..what was they teaching their
childplayer? That winning is
everything? These players were
supposed to have fun playing but
the adults were the ones acting like
children and the children were the
ones that were acting more grown
up than the adults.
Everytime 1 looked, I seen some
one in Foster's face.. ..but he han
dled this very professionally and
with authority. All this time, his
team was seated watching his
example on how he was going to
handle all the pressure of the
coaches and parents. He done a
very good job of being the diplo
mat. I am very happy that Foster is
a good example to our youth in
4-H and in the community of
Warm Springs, we sure do need
more leaders like him. I thank the
Lord for him and his family every
day. Oh yes, because the team that
played the older girls got stripped
of their medals, the brone medal
went to our girls along with
sportsmanship recognition. The
girls played their hearts out and
kept up with the "bigger" girls.
Way to go. ..next year will be
better.
Sincerely,
Tina Aguilar

To the editor,
I don't know how many readers
listen to our KWSO Radio Station
but I would like to take this
opportunity to let the KWSO
Manager and staff know that I feel
they are doing a great job. In our
daily busy lives, we sometimes
forget to take time and thank those
we appreciate.
I especially like the interviews
the announcers do with our local
people who work in ourTribal and
Bureau of Indian Affairs depart
ments here on the Reservation. It
opens the door for more communi
cation between the departments
and the tribal member and resident
listeners. The Community Events
here on the Reservation as well as
those in our neighboring town of
Madras help keep us informed of
events.
Thanks for relay team support apologize

I've learned
my lesson
To the editor,
I wish to express my sincerest
apologies to the office of Parole
and Probation, the Tribal Court
and to the community of Warm
Springs for causing all of the
hardship. I recently returned from
the state of Arizona and was
picked up on an outstanding war
rant for failing to appear for a
court hearing last year. I wish to be
able to return one day and share
my experience with those of you
here at home. I made a serious mis
take over two and a half years ago
and my mistake has followed me
and caught up with me. I will
ensure I don't make that same mis
take again.
Sincerely,
Gerald J. Danzuka
