Charges restricted soon
Effective August 1,1983, the
following policy will be put into
effect because of a lot of
problems in the past regarding
unauthorized persons signing
on customers gas accounts.
C u s to m e r s w ho h a v e
gasoline accounts established
shall be the only person
authorized to charge on that
account.
This will enable the customer
to keep a better handle on the
amount that is being charged,
so that they do not exceed the
limit set up for them with the
A c c o u n tin g D e p a rtm e n t.
There Will be no exceptions to
this policy.
Legal aid makes changes
The Legal Aide Department
will be moving to a different
trailer across from the BI A
Maintenance Shop within the
next month or so. We will be
notifying the public on a
d efin ite d a te w hen th is
happens.
The Legal Aide Department
has a new policy requiring
clients to come to our office to
discuss their cases in detail at
least lv0 working days before
the trial date.
If you have a tribal court
hearing coming up, we are
requiring you to contact our
office as soon as possible. If we
do not hear from you or you
fail to keep your appointments
with us, we will have to
terminate from your case as
spokesman. This means, you
oS
will be re sp o n sib le for
presenting your own case to
court.
The Tribal Court will not
postpone your case because
you did not prepare.
The Legal Advocates need at
least 10 working days to
prepare for Court, which
includes interviewing you and
y o u r w itnesses (if any),
preparing motions, petitions,
a f f i d a v i t s , o th e r le g a l
documents, if needed, opening
and closing statements, etc. As
you can see, there is alot of
work involved in preparing for
a case.
T h e r e f o r e , y o u r f u ll
cooperation is required. If you
have any questions, please feel
free to call us at 553-1161, ext.

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

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. Wesley and
Children

After having lunch together these two big spenders decided to take
a walk and somehow ended up in an auto showroom. Looking
around they saw this luxurious model which had a built in T.V.
set, bar, stereo and two phones. One asked, “How much?”
“Twenty thousand dollars,” the salesman said, “I’ll take it,” the
man said and started to reach for his wallet. “No,” protested his
friend, “Let me get this—you bought lunch.” YIKES
