ized crime did not justify restrictions on tribal self-government.
"The tribal games at present provide the sole source of revenue for
the operation of the tribal governments and the provisions of tribal
services," wrote White. "Self-determination and economic devel
opment are not within reach if the tribes cannot raise revenues and
provide employment for their members.
Navajo News at a standstill
The Navajo Times Daily was closed by the MacDonald admin
istration Feb. 19. The Times was the only Indian daily newspaper
in the U.S. and a respected journalistic voice in the Indian Coun
try. Former Times Publisher Mark Trahant offered to buy- the
paper for $600,000 if the tribes did not close the paper. Trahant's
editorials sometimes criticized tribal leadership and he believes
politics might have motivated the closing of the paper. "I think
they didn't want an independent newspaper."
"I think the administration was not happy with what we were
reporting," said Monty Roesel, the Times' managing editor when
it closed.
"There is a censorship problem here, and I think it begins in the
Chairman's office," said Shebela, referring to Louis' case.
Louis, who directed the "Navajo Nation Reports"for television
and radio, was a known supporter of former chairman Peterson
Zah. Louis' programs were 15-minute daily programs that were
broadcast in the Navajo language of 12 Southwestern radio sta
tions. An hour-long television program was broadcast in Navajo
and English to stations in Flagstaff and Albuquerque.
News coverage on the reservation is at a standstill, but KTNN
will continue to air music and national network news, said Peter
Milford, a staff assistant for MacDonald. Milford said Louis'
firing was justifiable and that his position at the station was a
political appointment.
The Times was shut down under orders from MacDonalds
office. The Times had a circulation of about 7,000 for the week-day
edition and about 9,000 for the weekend edition.
The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area

ment of the plans.

interim Guidelines is an important one. The Interim Guidelines

It seems when the creator was making the world, he called man aside
and bestowed upon him 20 years of normal sex life.
Then he called the monkey and gave him 20 years. "But I don't need 20
years" said the monkey. "Ten is plenty." Man spoke up and said: "Can't I
have the other ten years?" the monkey agreed.
Then the creator called the lion and gave him 20 years and the lion said
he only needed ten years. Again the man asked, "can't I have the other ten
years?" "Of course!" roared the lion.
Then came the donkey, he was given 20 years and like the others, said
ten years was all he needed. Man asked again for the spare ten years and
again received them.
This explains why man has twenty years of normal sex life, ten years of
monkeying around, ten years of lion about it, and ten years of making an
ass out of himself.

EDITOR'S NOTE
Lent is time
to change
Hello from the Presbyterian Church:
Have you ever heard of the word
"Lent." I or Christians it is a mark
in time of the 40 days before Easter.
It tells us to be thinking about not
bunny rabbits and eggs, but the
cross and butterflies. Yes, butter
flies t hey a re t he Christ ia n sy m bol
of the resurrection. Lent reminds
mc that as a human being, I am not
a husband, lather, man, Italian,
and Christian. I am a Christian
first, then a man, husband, father,
and Italian. To be a Christian is to
have everything else about me
touched by my faith. It is the trickle
down effect except for Christians
we call it the over flowing cup.
God's love flows to touch how I am
to be a man. husband, father, and
my culture. You see Lent and Easter
are not times for the kids and
candy. But is a season of Power.
Love Power to change a life, any
one's life. So that anyone may
know that they are loved.
Before I go Is there anyone
who would like to join a support
group of family members who must
deal with an alcoholic or drug
addict? Also, are there any senior
highs who would be interested in
starting a fellowship group? For
either group call 553-1 237. Finally,
we need kids for Sunday School
bring them in, from three years to
adults. It's the best place to ask
questions about God. See you in
church.
Grace and Peace,
Reverend Kick Ribrero
