PAGE 4 WARM SPRINGS, OREGON JULY 23, 1976 Editorial E COOSH EEWA: Employee Potluck Pieni Spilyay Tymoo (The way it is) Editor's Note To The Editor. Dear Mr. Miller: I have just finished reading the July 9th Edition of your newspaper. I would like to compliment you and your staff on the contents and excellent photographic work in this issue. I am sure the members of the Confederated Tribes also appreciate your newspaper be cause this is an excellent means of maintaining commun- ication between the Tribal ad ministration and the individual Tribal members. I plan to be in the Warm Springs area during the middle part of August, and I would like to stop by your office and visit with you. Keep up the good work. Very truly yours, Ray L. Matilton, Jr. Planning Director (Hoopa Calif.) Dear Editor, Sid Miller: My family wishes to thank the Warm Springs Confeder ated Tribes for their generosity in sharing with us the delicious meal at the Indian Salmon Bake at Cascade Locks, Sun day 18th. This the first year we have attended, and heard about it through the Oregon Journal. It was a great feeling of sharing and making friends. Sincerely, Nancy Avedevech Portland, Oregon Traveling to and from the printing office in Prineville, thoughts ran through my mind; for instance, are we doing the community justice in putting out this paper? Are they reading the paper as well as I hope they are? And many other minor matters that are of no importance at this time. I know of at least one person who reads the paper over and over. Would you believe it’s the editor. Even though I know what is in each edition, I read the paper for errors and to find other meth ods of doing lay-outs of the paper, trying to improve each issue to make it more inter esting for the readers. Being new at this line of work scares me at times, but I feel that I am improving right along with the paper. I can see a great deal , of improvement from the very first edition a few months ago, as compared to the latest one. I also believe that we are getting through to the readers as there have been several letters to the editor. This pleases me. It was an honor to receive a letter from Congressman Al Ullman M.C. I do appreciate all the letters that have been coming in. That in itself is a bit of encouragement. Thanks. The time of the year has arrived, and thats for all the departments to work on the coming years budget. MBO is playing an important part in projecting budgets for the coming year. MBO (Manage ment by Objectives) when em- ployed properly can be very instrumental in working out budgets. This gives the Super visor, Department Heads, and the Management a better tool to work with.

Box 92 Monmouth Oregon, 97361 Celilo Resolution At a Tribal Council meet ing held June 1, 1976, ihe Celilo Resolution was presented to the Tribal Council. It was sta- ted that there have been sev- eral meetings held at Celilo. With full attendence at one of the meetings there, the three Tribes were present and each tribe was represented by Tri bal Council members, they de cided to come to an agreement and draw up a document. This was instituted by the Yakima, Warm Springs, and the Uma- tillas, and the intent was that' the three Superintendents take the document and rework it and come up with a Consti- tution. Council Agenda The following is the Tribal Council Agenda for the re mainder of July. There have been some changes in the agenda, so those interested should take notice. July 26 - 10:00 a.m., Tribal Council Meeting. 1. Fantasy Films Contract and Agreement - Dennis Kar- nopp. 2. 11:00 a.m. Report on status of fish litigation - Dennis Kamopp. 3. 2:00 p.m. - Management Reports. July 27 - 10:00 a.m., Tribal Council Meeting.' 1. Committee and Council Delegate Reports. 2. Unfinished Business. But a meeting in Portland, Or., with the Solicitor, the suggestion was instead of a Constitution, a delegation of authority be granted to that group, and also a Board be appointed. At another meeting at Ce lilo this was to be presented to the group, and also a Board be appointed. Another meeting was called at Celilo, the Board was suggested, and things went along quite well at first, but as time passed there was some controversy among those pre sent and the discussion linger ed. Another meeting was scheduled at a later date in which the resolution was fin ally expected after a lengthy discussion, subject to approval of the Tribal Councils. What this would do is dele gate certain authority to this group at Celilo. The function of the Board would be to carry out those functions, apply for EDA funds, apply to the Bur eau to take care of the facil ities there, but nothing to en cumber land such as leasing or whatever. The Board would have to come back to the Tribes for those authorities. priority list for educational re building. Congressman Ullman’s re quest for construction funds received favorable attention from the Appropriations Com mittee. Congressman Robert Duncan who serves on that committee had a favorable in fluence as he serves on the committee also. Full House and Senate ap proval of the appropriation is still needed.

The Timber Committee, the Range Committee and the Tribal Council were well re presented on the forestry tour held Wednesday., July 21. A group of about 25 people roamed through various thin ned and unthinned areas of timber land west of Sidwalter and experienced first hand the effects of tree-thinning on the environment. Gunther Heeren of the Forestry Department and Wilbur Johnson of the Tri bal Council arranged and con ducted the tour, which pre sented the pros and cons of the treatment techniques used after thinning occurs. The first stop on the day long tour introduced the group to the Fire Control Station where reports of fire are re ceived and crews and equip ment assembled. Larry Walow- itsa and Gunther Heeren led a tour through the plant explain ing operations in each area. The rest of the day was spent in the forests discussing and observing the condition of the forest floor in six different locations. Heeren explained the two kinds of treatment equipment most commonly used after thinning: Tomahawk and Track Mack. Both procedures involve crushing the slash but they differ in when they are used and what effects they have. Basically Tomahawking is done with a special attach ment to a caterpillar and it can only be used on dry slash. The caterpillar tends to chew up the ground making reseed ing easily accomplished. The Track Mack can crush green slash quite effectively so that it disintegrated faster but it is a more costly method. Both techniques were said to be beneficial in terms of regrowth of grass and timber. Wilbur Johnson and others maintained that theser meth ods presented a fire hazard and discouraged grazing by domestic stock and wildlife. It was suggested that the piling and burning of a slash might be a quicker and safer way of treating thinned areas. Everyone seemed to agree that tree-thinning is a neces sary procedure. It remains to be seen, perhaps through fur ther experimenting, which method of treating slash will be most beneficial to both timber growth and grazing. Linton Winishut The Tribal Council, Tues day July 20, approved by reso lution number 4679, the ap pointment of Linton Winishut to serve on the Fish and Wildlife Committee. Winishut was appointed by the Tribal Council July 13, 1976 to replace Sam Scott who re signed. The position has been officially accepted in writing by the new committee mem ber. Other members of the Fish and Wildlife Committee are: Harold Culpus (Chairman), Delbert Frank Sr., and Nelson Wallulatum. Committee mem bers serve a three year term which will expire May 31, 1977, when the new Tribal Council members are chosen. The new Tribal Council will then ap point new members of the Fish and Wildlife Committee.
