Toe Ness yik®s There was this guy sitting and staring out of his office window when one of his co-workers asked.“ W hat’s the problem?” The guy answered, “I’ve got two weeks to live.” “Oh!” his friend said. “Are you going to die?” “No, my wife is going on a two week vacation without me and I don’t know what to do first.” YIKES SS SS SS This guy decided to get more gas before starting through the Death Valley in California, so he pulls into the “Last Chance”gas station and said, “Give me ten dollars worth of gas.’’The station attendant asked, “Got a cup?” YIKES Having a special love for the outdoors is what has inspired Ralph Goode to pursue his BI A forestry career. Since high school, the enrolled Flathead has worked in forestry-related jobs ranging from Ere control to forest survey projects. Not only his special interest in the outdoors has afforded Goode his present position as a forestry technician on the Warm Springs Reservation. Goode is also a graduate of the fo re stry in te rn pro g ram sponsored by the BIA. The program was initiated by Inter-' Tribal Timber Council (ITC) whose membership consists of 19 timber tribes throughout the United States, including Warm Springs. The forestry intern program is alone in the field of training native A m ericans forestry technology. The ITC expressed concern over the shortage of Indian foresters in the BIA. The BIA, thinking along the same lines, initiated the p r o g r a m in 1 9 8 0 . In September, 1980, 10 furlough forestry technician positions were advertised bureau-wide, forty-two applications were received. Goode was one of the first applicants selected for the program. A ccording to p rogram criteria, Goode spent two-and- one-half years at the University of Idaho working on the requirements for his “Forestry R eso u rc e s M an ag em en t Option” degree. Prior to that, he a t t e n d e d F l a t h e a d Community College where he o b ta in e d h is A s s o c ia te Forestry Technology degree. Goode speaks highly of a forestry inventory project in which he was involved during 1973 and 1974. Goode and other crew members esta blished forestry plots on the Tulee reservation in California. H e a ls o c o n d u c t e d a cottonwood survey on the Pine R idge R e s e rv a tio n an d established forestry plots on the San Carlos Reservation in Arizona. The inventory project was a BIA program contracted t h r o u g h th e F l a t h e a d Reservation and assisted by the r e s e r v a tio n s t h a t w ere inventoried. Goode and his family are enjoying Warm Springs. “We have fit in real well so far.” The 32-year old forester says that the Warm Springs forestry program is just as large as the Flathead program. “They cut less timber here, but the c iv ic u ltu re an d fo re s t te c h n o lo g y a s p e c ts a re comparable.” Goode speaks highly of W arm Springs and their support of the forestry intern program. “The Warm Springs trib e has su p p o rte d the program and I appreciate s u p p o r t. W ith o u t th e ir c o n tin u e d s u p p o r t, the program would not have beqn as successful as it is,” Eight people were just recently selected by the BIA to begin the intern program this fall, Including one woman. Goode is one of four recent g ra d u a te s of the in te rn program who have been assigned to various reserva tions. Two are stationed at the Yakima Reservation and the other stationed at the Cherokee Reservation. Letter to the Editor Please respect our feelings To the Editor, Several issues back, I read a letter in Spilyay Tymoo, written by a family dismayed over a “memorial” dinner given in honor of a son and brother. They apparently did not understand why. My reason for taking advantage of this time to communicate to my family is so there won’t be any misunder standings over our proposed involvement with the Annual Memorial Dinner at HeHe which is usually held before the Huckleberry Feast. On behalf of the Grandfather Herbert Stwyer, Sr., who participates in the traditional T h a n k sg iv in g C e re m o n y d u r in g th e f e a s ts , th e Grandmother Louise Hellon, who is a traditional food- gatherer and cook for the feasts, we, the family of Arnold Charles Stwyer, Jr. feel obligated to participate. In our way, we are freeing them to p a rtic ip a te in the H oly activities. They should not be tied down at times such as these. I regret, that at times, families of the deceased are condemned by public criticism, which coaid do harm to the young. I am tremendously indebted to many, who at the time of the memorial, will be given token gifts of appreciation. I do not mean to be d isre sp e c tfu l to an y o n e, especially my son. In due time, when I emerge, I will host a tra d itio n a l m em orial and dinner for his motiument. Gratefully, Mrs. Neds B.
