E Coosh E E W A : The W3y it is Page 4 Spilyay Tymoo October 3, 2012 Letters to the Editor Exciting time fo r OSU football fans From the Reservation Runners By Yvonne Iverson There is hope and excite ment building for the Beaver Believers. The Oregon State Football team has started the sea Spilyay son with three Speaks wins in a row and no losses to tie the University o f O r egon for the top spot in the Pac 12 Conference. Beaver fans have struggled through the past two losing seasons, putting up with ridicule and digs from their Civil War opponents, but things are looking up for the 2012 season. After OSU’s win over the University o f Arizona last Saturday the com m ents started flying on Facebook and the excitement was in the air. “I am so happy, giddy, stoked... Nobody can rain on my parade tonight,” Rebecca Soliz said after the win. OSU alum n Celeste Whitewolf shared, “I love it. This has been great, follow ing the game with other be lievers”. E ven true D ucks fans were commenting on the Bea vers game. “The Beavers kinda im pressed me, showed some heart and earned that win,” said James Arthur. T he wins for O regon teams may keep the peace in split households, but come November 24, when the two teams meet in Corvallis, the war will resume. According to Jessie Lyons, “It doesn’t matter if you are a D uck’s fan or a Beaver Believer, either way it has been a season to be a fan of college football in the State of Oregon.” The next deadline to submit items fo r publi cation in the Spilyay is Friday, Oct. 12. Thank you for writing! Birthday wish... Happy Birthday to Austin Smith Sr. on October 5. A nd many more birthdays to come. Best wishes on your birthday, from your younger brother Besta.

Dear family, relatives and friends, O n b eh a lf o f the H ood To Coast Team, “Reservation R unners” and myself, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support throughout the year. We had another suc cessful year and everyone had a good time. Thank you all for the opportunity to participate, because without your help, it would not have been possible. First of all, let me say “Thank You” to our spon sors: Warm Springs Com posite Products, Warm Springs Ventures, Brunoe L ogging, K ah-N ee-T a High D esert Resort and Warm Springs Market. And, of course, to all of the families whose support is vital to our success. We consider it a success if we finish the race. The team completed the race in 30 hours, 54 minutes and 07 seconds, just 14 minutes over our anticipated finish time. So close... The team members this year were: M onica Sampson, Jordan Leonard, Leslie D avis, Jaym e Schricker, Haley Brownson, Karlen Yallup, Ryan Smith, Lex A nguiano, D on Courtney, Je ff A nspach, Adam Haas and Joe Lewis. Joe and Karlen were our last minute recruits this year and o f course, they helped us out a lot! Big thank you to the team members for the donations to the raffle, plus the Mu seum at W arm Springs, Lyda Rhoan and Krysta Rhoan for their help. As always, everyone got along ju st great. T h at makes the whole event so much better for everyone when that happens. So, thank you everyone, for being who you are! We just got word that the team has secured a spot in next year’s Hood to Coast. How exciting! They finished the relay within half-an-hour o f their an ticipated finish time (HTC estimate o f when the team should finish); teams that do th at have automatic entry into next year’s HTC. This is the first time they have done this, so we consider ourselves very for tunate. Be on the lookout for fund-raisers to help the team out again for next year’s event. As long as we are able to secure a spot in H o o d to Coast, and people arè willing to do it, we will continue to submit our name. I would just like to say that if my m other were here, she would have been one of our biggest support ers. She believed in. anyone that; raised th eir own m oney and as long as Someone was willing to do that, she was willing to help. Thank you, Mom, for giv ing me the courage to con tinue on... Thank you, everyone! ' Val Squiemphen for the 2012 H ood to Coast Team, “Reservation Run- For hospitality A very p ro fo u n d and heartfelt thank you to the members o f the Confeder ated Tribes of Warm Springs. Much to my shame this has been late in coming. Over the last few years I have been driving groups sponsored by the World Af fairs of Oregon to the Warm Springs Reservation for meet ings. So far this year I have b ro u g h t a group from Belarus, whose focus was “Green Turisum.” Mr. Wewa and the wonder ful staff greeted us warmly, at the museum. It was the first time I had Indian tacos (very tasty). The other group included minorities of European coun tries. A very special thanks to the folks at the Eagle Cross ing restaurant. On the spur o f the moment, Brenda was able to organize a kayak ad venture for some of the visi tors. The icing on the cake was when the camp host at Indian park shared his knowl edge and wisdom with the group when they got back to shore. (Yes it was my little bus going down that steep road). O nce again let me give everyone my humble thank you. Sincerely, Greg Corey, fleet manager, Vango Trans portation & Tours.

An apology Indian Business Talk Fraud alert, and ways to avoid being cheated By Bruce Engle Loan officer ]F.S. Credit Enterprise Conventional wisdom has it that we will often do for our kids what we won’t do for ourselves. M ost o f us have been there; done that. A college savings account can be successfully built up to a significant amount be cause of that phenomenon. Keys to success for those accounts: • The account should be in the child’s name. • The child should know that. • O nly deposits are al lowed. Withdrawals must be prohibited until after high school graduation. ■ Everybody must respect the bargain. • P aren ts, relatives, friends, and the children may deposit to the child’s account. • Children must be con- tinually brought into the pro cess so they know the savings account is to help them go to college. That is a very impor tant. • Reminders prompt per formance. ■ Financial literacy should be included in their school ing from first grade through high school graduation. Pro grams are available for each grade level that schools can integrate with existing unit and lesson plans. • Proceeds from the sav ings account can be used for technical training, junior col lege, and university expenses. Recent research has shown that children for whom this is done are about six times mòre likely to do well in high school and graduate from college than are children for whom this has not been done. The money is only one of the reasons for that success. What an investment in our kids!
