How can the Spilyay better serve the community? i $ r -N , J I llMnWIilWHIIMII.. yrWiirMTOIIWMMIIIIIIll ( Rayncle Andrews, "The Spilyay needs to cover more of the accom plishments of our youth. The news- ' paper does cover some stories but there needs to be more stories in volving our youth. The youths are real important in our lives and they are our future. We need to start rec ognizing them more not only by newspaper but recognition needs to start at home. We have children getting awards, children on the Top Honor and Honor Roll, children do ing well in sports and children doing different crafts andor clubs." J ) -TBS Vr f - X ..-!7 1 K ..' ...

I would like to see the Spilyay give more com prehensive coverage, both pro and con, so the readers can understand both sides of the issue." 6 1 Brigette M. Scott-Whipple, "The Spilyay can better serve the com munity by having a higher interest in the youth involvement in academics, sports, and community, pay more attention to the work being done for the community and following the progress of the reservation as a whole. There are many youths involved and excelling at high levels that are not acknowledged for their achievements in academics, sports and community which can be in the newspaper which arc positive tributes to the reservation. Community notice of the reservation in a positive way would boost the esteem of our people as a whole." Easton Aguilar, "1 feel that the Spilyay could better serve the com munity by keeping us better informed of things that have occurred locally. Seems that our local resources would prefer to cooperate with outside media before any information gets to the Spilyay. I feel freedom of the press should be that, freedom of the press!" Lois Lesarlley, "I would like to sec a section from Tribal Council informing tribal members regarding tribal issues that arc coming up, de cisions being made and resolutions that arc being passed and just in forming tribal members of things that arc happening. Marcia Soliz, "To belter serve the community I feel the Spilyay should have less editing out and should ex pand the paper size. There should also be a youth section in the news paper to help encourage our youth. Spilyay can visit different depart ments, programs or speak with community members for positive and uplifting news." c-' ml v Deepak Sehgal, "Spilyay Tymoo needs to print more local human in terest stories. Warm Springs has so many gifted and talented community members who should be recognized locally and by all Spilyay readers." Margaret Buckland, "I feel the Spilyay could serve the community better by having a Photographer present during events and activities that occur around our community. Interviewing individuals in our community that have earned merits and can be recognized for their dedication to the Warm Springs community. Print positive things."
