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."

Ken Smith, "The Tribe is facing
a number of challenging issues, both
locally and nationally. 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."

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."

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."
