We d eeply re g re t any inconvenience this may cause A b o u t 30 c o n te s ta n ts showed up at the community center for a dog show staged by the summer recreation staff August 8. . Action in back of the community center Wednesday morning resembled something more of a rodeo arena than of contestants bathing their dogs. One big black dog dragged three people for 10 yards before letting them rinse the soap off of him. A smarter contestant has his pet snubbed up short to a car hood ornament while he scrubbed him clean. Other dogs stood around shivering qfter the cold bath as they waited for the show to start. Shortly after one o’clock, spectators begin crowding under the limited shade to escape the hot sun and contestants started drifting into the show ring with their dogs, some obediently and other more reluctant to follow. Nervously making their way around the ring one at a time in front of judges, Lyle Rhoan Sr., Caroline Tohet, Eva Montee, and Dorothy Earl, contestants learned that many hours of preparations and patience is required in order to have a well trained and obedient doe.

Water system clogged, new facility going in problems twice a year—in the spring when runoff is high, and in late summer when the water level in Shitike Creek is very low. Cassell noted that the present system was never designed to handle the load it is now carrying. The interim system will be ready for use “hopefully by next February,” according to Cassell. The treatment plant will have a capacity of two million gallons a day and the life of the system is figured to be about five years. “After the D eschutes system is in operation we could possibly turn this facility over to the Tribe to use as a standby system,” speculated Cassell. On the ¡subject of domestic water being used daily by the community, Cassell said that Both Cassell and IHS the amount has gone down just sanitation officer Jerry Shipps recently. It was up to one say the water is safe to drink million gallons per day. But he and that it is tested regularly for is puzzled by the amount of bacterial count.
