Letters to the editor b IA names news are director
Like Old Times
Dear Sal,
It was a nice trip to visit
Warm Springs for the Labor
Day basketball tournament.
This note is to “Thank You”
and all those involved in
providing and preparing the
lovely meal for us. We
enjoyed it and we are grateful.
It reminds us of old times when
it was traditional to provide a
meal for the ball players.
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.
Thanks and Farewell,
Gary Heckman

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.
