E Coosh EEWA: The way it is
Sports
Memories
By Yvonne Iverson
As youth and their fami
lies traveled these past few
w eeks rep re se n tin g W arm
Springs in basketball, baseball,
softball and boxing, it just
b ro u g h t back
all o f th e
Spilyay
sports stories I
Speaks
have heard in eU.';
■? ■ J
explicit detail
over the years. Now, these
youth are out there creating
their own memories and sto
ries they can tell their children
and grand children.
For those at hom e cheer
ing, you could follow the H it
Squad on the NABI Founda
tio n w ebsite or you could
read the status updates bn
Facebook. But there is no th
ing like being there to experi
ence the determ ination and
heart these youth show when
they compete.
W hat stories will they have
to teU?
WiU it be the 11-run sixth
inning th a t b ro u g h t W arm
Springs a come from behind
victory to stay in the softbaU
tournament? O r maybe it wiU
be about the 20-plus car ride
to Phoenix, Arizona for the
b ig g est N ativ e B asketb all
Tournam ent in the country.
Sports has the potential to
take our kids to places that
they have never seen, and to
m eet people they otherwise
wouldn’t have. I look forward
to hearing the stories that re
sult from this sum m er’s trav
els, so keep it up and continue
to create the lasting m em o
ries that sports can provide.

Family, friends and com
munity,
My deepest apologies to all
o f you for my out-of-control
actions o n Ju n e 21. I was
heavily under the influence,
being in and o ut o f reality.
I ’m sorry to have p u t anyone
in the terrible situation that
occurred. I have been really
u n d e rsta n d in g as to w h at
could have happened. A nd
my higher pow er is bringing
light into my life, where I can
m ove forward w ithout alco
hol. As for now, please for
give m e for I was n o t in my
rig h t m ind. I w ould never
have w anted to harm anyone
in that manner. As for now I
will take care o f the punish
I am dead to him. H e can’t
see me cause he doesn’t want
to. I can talk to him b u t he
ignores me. I reach o u t to
h im — m y h a n d re m a in s
empty. I try to hold his hand
and touch his heart— it only
makes him colder.
I am no longer a p art o f
his life.
Love is there but is use
less. Pain is chemically eased.
T ears m ay fall fro m sa d
ness— sadness replaced with
anguish— then anger. Memo
ries fade... Happiness forgot
ten. Frustration sets in. I am
a ghost. I haunt his love. His
pain. His tears and memories
to rem ind him o f the best o f
times, the good times and hap
piness.
I look in his eyes to seek
truth— but I can see the lies.
I ask questions— why— b ut
everything is tw isted. T he
truth is I love him. The lie is
I let love go. The questions
turn into torture, T he twisted
thing about it all... is that I ’ll
always wait to hold his hand—
to u ch his heart— bring my
w arm th and to see tru th —
and say... take a chance and
notice me. I love you to the
death. I need you the m ost
and I ’m nothing w ithout you.
I will always love you and I
don’t care w hat them people
say. I ’m g o n e.. .H L K
O n the o th er hand, life
goes on— so m ust I. All that’s
been throw n away will hope
fully be replaced. Physically—
m e n t a ll y — s p i r i t u a l l y —
w h a te v e rly ... I t w o n ’t be
easy... b u t I ’ll try ... to be
u nstuck. W hen n o th in g 'is
right—it all gets left.

Successful lenders, m anu

retailers have usually learned
how to wisely use the credit
they get— and the credit they
give. Their businesses pros

The key for them and for
