Sincerely, Little Boston Ball Club Many Thanks To the Editor, It was a good day last September 17, being the day that the Natural Resource D ep t., Land O perations, Coyote News staff and a handful of friends from other tribal departments and non- tribal agencies gathered to say farewell to myself—Gary Heckman. It’s a grateful feeling to receive. tokens of praise for w o rk c o m p le te d w hile employed by the Tribes and to be wished well in my future endeavors, in the manner you folks did at that farewell gathering. The beaded belt buckle and the job-well-done plaque from the Natural Resource Dept., Land Operations and Coyote News staff, and the farewell letter and donated salmon from the Confederated Tribes are appreciated by myself beyond words. To all of you, many thanks. As I look back I see a variety of experiences that I grew from in my employment as a Bio- Tech and Fisheries Biologist for the Tribes. I hope that I was able to reciprocate my personal benefits with equal benefits to the Tribes towards manage ment of its natural resources during my employment.

Comments on rafting letter To the Editor, In the last edition of the Spilyay Tymoo on September 27, in the letter to the editor, ‘Who really wants Deschutes rafting?” Where it reads, “Remember the petition for the ski resort?” it should have read, “remember the petition against the ski resort?” Just a clarification on the wording in that paragraph. Myrna Courtney Tribal member To the Editor, I would like to clarify a statement made by Pinky Beymer in her letter to the editor in the last issue of Spilyay Tymoo. Pinky asked why tribal members had to pay for the Land Use Comp Plan, the Recreation Needs Assessment and NADS AT reports. 1 would ‘like to say that the NADS AT Deschutes property sold to state More than 3,220 acres of Deschutes River frontage property will become publicly owned due to action by both the state and private sectors to raise $1.6 million. The scenic riv e rfro n t property was put up for sale to private parties by the Eastern Oregon Land Co. It is an area well known for its steelhead trout fishing. The 13 miles of property is located at the mouth of the Deschutes River near The Dalles on the W a sco -S h erm a n C o u n ty property line. One-half of the purchase price for the land is to come through state agency budgets. The other half is to be raised by a public fund-raising effort. The money must be raised by September 30,1983 with the state to gain title to the •property then.
