E Coosh EEWA: The way it is Page 4 Spilyay Tymoo October 1, 2014 Letters to the editor Switzler Reunion No Fear Greetings to the Warm Springs community, As the Portland to Coast walk relay comes to an end for 2014, as do the memories of the greatest adventure—The Mother of All Relays, and not to mention the muscle strains, blisters, aches and pains… but so worth the fun and excitement! I would like to person- ally extend my apprecia- tion to the ladies of team No Fear for going above and beyond what was ex- pected; words along aren’t enough to say how proud I am of each of you… Kudos, high five, and roll out the red carpet to all you ladies… Lynn Graybael, Angel Daniels, Amanda S q u i e m p h e n - Ya z z i e , Shania Tom, Reicie Simtustus, Rosanna Jack- son, Diane Green and Olivia Sanchez… a huge shout out to Lynn and Angel for doing two extra Home fire We, the family of Rachel K. Macy and kids, Mariah, Lil’ LeRoy, Lorenzo and Raquel Smith, lost our entire home on September 10, 2014. Our beloved pets have been fostered by the Madras Animal Hospital until we can get situated in a home with a fenced yard; we hope. We are very temporarily staying at a motel in the local area. I have been reminded to ad- vocate very strongly on be- half of my children and their overall well being. I was to move my daughter LaTonia and grandsons Enzo and Aden into our home at the end of September; so they were also affected by the fire. I had moved some of their clothing in before they actu- ally moved in. The following are sized for my children and grandsons. We are sincerely thankful for all the kind words, prayers and support. We are blessed to be alive and well as we grieve the loss of everything Mariah and I have worked so hard to earn, to take care of our family. In the fire, I lost my beloved pink 1968 Pontiac Catalina… no more pink cruises into the sunset. Again, thank you for your support.
