PAGE 12 OCTOBER 6, 1978 (Continued from Page 1) Bad Scare Buzzy Jo Berry will probably never chase another brown dog across Highway 26 after what happened to him Wednesday. The eight year-old was just con centrating on that dog about five o’clock in the afternoon, when he ran smack dab into a car on the highway. Fortunately Buzzy is well padded and more or less “bounded” off the car. Also, the driver saw the boy and had nearly come to a complete stop. -But the impact sent Buzzy spin ning. Although badly frightened, Buzzy received only a sprained ankle. He was treated at the Warm Springs clinic and re leased. The driver, a tourist, was terribly shaken according to police. He accompanied the police to Buzzy’s home to talk with the parents. No citation was issued. Maybe from now on, Buzzy will be chasing only yellow dogs. Budget cont'd ANT EATER - Kids from the HeadStart-Day Care trailer were informed about fire safety last week in observance of fire safety week coming up soon. Wilfred Jim, who slightly resembled an ant eater, demonstrated the use of the oxygen mask as well as other fire fighting equipment.

Management’s employee de velopment program had more than half its funds held in abey ance, with $50,000 being retained for the training of tribal mem bers.

In the area of com mittees, funds were added to the Education Committee for the promotion of vocational educa tion activities, while the propos ed Land Purchase Committee was deleted altogether. Visits From Old Folks Valued “When I was a little girl, we had to prepare our food for winter a lot different than we do today. We had no canned food — we didn’t even have refriger ators to keep it cool. We had to dry meat, berries and other food. . . . ” The four young journalism students from Mad ras Junior High School’s paper, the J r. Buff, listened intently, gaining valuable insight into the early life of Lucinda Smith as they interviewed her for a fea ture article in their school paper. For the past two years small groups of students from the junior high school have been visiting with older folks in the communities of Warm Springs, Madras, Culver and Ashwood as part of their journalism training. By chatting with “older folks” they are, in many cases, learning and gaining an appreciation for the past that they would never get any other way. Stories, folk- lore, experiencès, various skills, pictures, etc., are viewed, re corded and learned by these beginning writers. After they have completed their visit, they return to the school to begin the laborious task of preparing the information for • publication in their school paper, the Jr. Buff. This involves mak ing a transcript from their taped interview, developing and print ing their pictures, and, of course, composing their feature article for the paper. Not only junior high school students and their parents bene fit from these articles, but many others in the area enjoy those delightful and informative arti cles. From the educational point of view, these interviews have ignited and motivated many stu dents to write and develop skills that heretofore were not being developed. The student realizes that this is not just an “assign ment,” but a real story about real people which will be read, criticized and appreciated by hundreds of people. That pro vides writing incentive to the young writer. Our desire is to provide as many opportunities as possible for our students to interview and learn from people of all back grounds and Walks of life. Many tinges, there are people in our own communities who know fas cinating stories, skills, home- remedies, anecdotes, etc., of which we’re not aware. We would really like to have the opportunity of sharing with others these gems of knowledge before the brilliance of the light is dimmed or extinguished. If you know of someone who would be willing to chat with these youngsters, please contact Marie Calica or Harold Moore at Madras Junior High School, 475- 3131. Gerard's visit, cont'd to manage the infusion of federal money they receive today,” Ger ard observed. Management and Gerard were barely getting into the nuts and bolts when the B.I.A. chief was whisked off to Tribal Coun cil. He returned later for a hand-shaking tour of the account ing, purchasing and data pro cessing departments as well as much of the Bureau. In the council chambers, Gerard pulled a chair up to the oak table and briefed council- men on current Bureau doings. The elected officials asked Ger ard to address such issues as the reorganization of the B.I.A., resource development assis tance, water policy and Indian education (see separate story page 2). G erard’s flight over the reservation on the previous day was highlighted by a glimpse of the McQuinn Strip, the fight for which Gerard had followed close ly through Congress as an advi sor to the House Interior and Insular Affairs Committee. Ger- ard was also interested in the Pelton Re-regulating Dam, the site of proposed generating facil ities. The assistant secretary said he intends to work more closely with “energy-conscious tribes” such as Warm Springs. In Gerard’s mind, the Warm Springs Reservation has a num ber of superlatives to its credit, making it a model for other reservations. “I ’ve always been impressed with the quality of leadership on this reservation,” he said, “and how they’ve proceeded in the planning and development of their own natural resources.” One of the great strengths Gerard has noticed is the “separ ation of development from the political realm .” Gerard is also impressed with the number of tribal mem bers working for the tribal or ganization. And of course thé “degree of cooperation between the B.I.A. and the Tribes’” is especially satisfying for the Bureau head. Council requested that the grouping and m erit increases for the branch manager positions be justified. It was also suggested that the general m anager’s posi tion be evaluated with outside help.
