Owens Mares was named
2003 Native American All
American East Defensive Player
of the Year at the East vs. West
national football game in
Lawrence, Kansas. He received
a trophy similar to the award he
won in 2002, as this is his sec
ond year playing in the national
all-star game for the east
He was chosen for his abili
ties as a football player and his
skills as a defensive nose guard.
After school studies and a
strong academic program at Riv
erside Indian School was a key
factor in his three years of high
school, as he graduated one year
earlier than his class. In addition
to regular school hours he at
tended after school hours to
complete all his credits.
The awards he has received
are not exclusive to football, as
he was named first at state for
power lifting. He is also a
letterman with letters for each
year in football, power lifting,
and wrestling.
Though he attended school
away from home he continued
to keep the traditional ways of
his family heritage through his

hard to get him where he is to- year in the spring,
day, and we are proud of him," He was a member of two
singing groups while at school,
Cuzad and Southern Thunder.
These are both southern drum
groups who traveled almost ev
ery weekend to a powwow. They
traveled to Gathering of Na
tions and placed second in the
drum contest
After looking into the colleges
who wanted to recruit him he
has chosen to attend Huron
University in South Dakota to
study auto mechanics.
He is, however, interested in
becoming a football coach some
day and teaching the life skills
and development he was taught
through football. He likes to
help others and would like to
come back to teach these skills
at Madras High School.
While traveling to an all-star
game in Pittsburgh he had the
pleasure of meeting the Detroit
Lions coach and talked with
him. The coach said that he
would look again at Mares in
four years.
Mares was ranked top of his
class in both academics and
sports and he credits his coun
selors, his coach, the whole
school, and his aunt and uncle
for their encouragement to continue.

Heat wave ties national record
From the July 28, 1978 edition
of the Spilyay Tymoo
Warm Springs shared with
Tumalo the dubious of being
the nation's hot spot this past
Tuesday, as the mercury soared
to 109 degrees.
Weary from the week-long
heat wave, folks scurred from
air-conditioned cars to air-conditioned
buildings, wondering
how they were going to get any
sleep that night in their non-air-conditioned
houses.
Everyone has a different way
of coping with extreme heat.
Dan Macy just shrugs it off and
says to think about snow.
Caroline Tohet whips up a huge
container of lemonade and
serves it in cheerfully decorated
glasses,
Lloyd Smith Jr. (Shag) spent
some time in the pool up at
Kah-Nee-Ta, and Spilyay's
Cynthia Stowell cried because
the Burger Inn was out of ice
cream. In other news:
Kah-Nee-Ta took on a new
general manager, ending nearly
eight weeks of team manage
ment at the resort. Bill Pauli, 47,
was transferred from Kah-Nee-Ta
Village up to the Lodge,
where he occupies the seat va
cated by Dan Myles. And this:
Aurolyn Stwyer was named
Miss Indian Northwest 1978 at
the Neighbor Fair in Portland.
Elsewhere:
As had been anticipated, the
Oregon Liquor Control Com
mission handed down a 30-day
license suspension to The Fron
tier Tavern at their July 25 hear
ing in Pordand. This means the
tavern will be closed until Aug.
25. ''t,ii
Effective immediately, the
penalty was assessed against the
establishment as a result of vio
lations involving illegal hours of
operation to visibly intoxicated
customers last December.

BEND - Cort Directions, the
tribally owned payroll and hu
man resources computer soft
ware company, has added a
significant new client, Colum
bia Helicopters.
Columbia Helicopters has
a global workforce of 800
employees. The company ear
lier this month selected Cort
Directions, based in Bend, as
its provider of payroll and
human resources software
technology and support.
The Confederated Tribes
purchased Cort Directions
earlier this year through the
Warm Springs Ventures eco
nomic development corpora
tion. Cort Directions serves
manufacturers, hospitals, ca
sinos, government agencies,
trucking companies, farming
co-ops, schools and ski resorts.
The Confederated Tribes uses
Cort Directions for its payroll.
Other clients include Harvard
University, Boeing, the Den
ver Broncos and St. Louis
Rams, and Tribune Publish
ing
Scott McClure, manager
of Columbia Helicopters,
said, "We selected CORT Di
rections based on price, ease
of use, and because their us
ers were much happier with
The fact that Cort

McClure.
their results than the compe
tition."
The fact that Cort Direc
tions serves professional
sports teams was a key fac
tor, said McClure. "Because
professional sports teams
have the same complex pay
roll processing requirements
as we do, such as processing
multiple states in the same pay
period, we looked for ven
dors whose clients included
pro sports teams. That quickly
narrowed the running to just
two companies," he said.
McClure says that Colum
bia Helicopters as a geographi
cally disbursed workforce,
from Alaska to Peru.
This can lead to long de
lays before the payroll depart
ment learns that field person
nel time was entered incor
recdy. "CORT Directions makes
it easy to correct payroll er
rors, even those from prior
payrolls, months, and quar
ters," said McClure.
