This goes to show that people do care and are concerned of Tribal matters. Just recently the Tribal Timber Committee went on a timber tour viewing six proposed timber sales for 1985 logging units. These include Sheep Creek area, Shitike Canyon, Old Mill, Beaver Canyon, East Camas and the Powerline units. With a public meeting there has been some controversy on the Shitike and Beaver Canyon logging units suggesting they be put in conditional use. Often statements are made concerning important issues. Some issues are presented onesided, leaving both sides of the story untold. Other items Tribal members should be thinking about are the Range Management Plan here on the reservation and the Fishing problems which presently exist at both the Columbia River and Sherars Bridge on fishing procedures set up for Tribal Members. Just recently, Spilyay Tymoo received a letter to the editor directed to the Sherars Bridge Committee with some very good points. The letter was not published in our last issue because it was unsigned. Our policy is, all letters to the editor must be signed by the writer,.No Exceptions. Un-signed letters in most cases have a tendency to present malicious statements directed toward a specific individual through the newspaper causing undue hurt. If you do have information or opinions on matters regarding the reservation or Tribal members you would like to share with the readers, feel free to write._________ ______ ____________________ H u n d re d s o f e n tr ie s , to the preservation of Indian including baskets, pottery, arts and cultural traditions. textiles, jewelry, beadwork, Entries will be accepted kachinas and student artwork beginning October 3 and will be (grades 1-12), are expected judged in several categories. from across the country in The Closing date for all entries is Heard Museum Guild 16th October 26.
