Letters to the editor are always welcome from the
readers of Spilyay Tymoo, or from anyone else for
that matter. 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._________ ______ ____________________
