We were Lincoln County champs in that era of very good teams in a very strong league. Toledo had a very hard team to beat. They had a pitcher, J.D. Wade, who was hard to hit. We used a bunt tactic to beat him - and we did. Roy, my brother, also was a wonder ful baseball pitcher. Our team was unde feated in 1948, the champion years.

By Angela Ramirez On June 8, 2009, Tribal youth Cris tian Ramirez, 13, went with Tribal Elder Ross Standiford and Casey Deckert (pictured), a fisheries biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, to assist in the tagging of steelhead on the Siletz River. The fish from the hatchery are clipped before being released into the stream initial ly. When the hatchery fish return to the lad- der, they are tagged, which is what Cristian was helping with. After being tagged, the hatchery fish are taken back to Moonshine Park and released for fisherman to have a second chance at catching them. If the fish make it to the ladder again, they are caught and donated to the Newport Food Share and to the Siletz Tribe through out the summer. The native fish are allowed through the ladder to go upstream. July 2009 • Siletz News • 11
