I think the commentators should keep their personal feelings to themselves about the team they favor and not go running down the opposing team and making all kinds of excuses for the team they favor. Sometimes its bad enough to see your favorite team on the short end. But when the commentator puts in his two cents worth blaming the offi cials for bad calls and accusing them for favoritism on the other team is not right. During the boxing programs especially the commentator always has to be putting in his two cents worth and to me his comments are not worth mentioning. Another point I'd like to mention is it appears that we don't need any more officials as it appears because of the instant replays. Why have these officials taken the time to get their license to do their job when the cry babies are going to call on the instant replays to call the action. After all this is what the officials are there for and thats to call the plays as they see them and let it go at that. These instant replays are misleading also. If viewed from one angle you can see a different view of what happened, and from another view the whole scene changes to show a different picture. So what do they do, they , pick the one that is more suited for them and call the play back. Sports is one of the favorite program on the Tube, now days and to have all the difficulties that we have is taking the light right out of the whole show. High school sports are making the scene once again with the football, Volleyball and Cross Country teams all preparing for another year. The football team the Greater Oregon Conference champions will be out to defend their title, and the fans will be out in full force to back the Buffs to repeat as this years champions. To the Editor, I would like to share a night spent with a five-year-old future "bull rider." My nephew William "Schnozz" Napycr, Jr. rode a calf during our HcHe Cowdeo this year and wishes to be a cowboy or bul Iridcr when he grows up. On August 21, 1987, he was attacked and bitten by a boy's pet Pit Bull on the arm while he was playing. His mother asked the boy earlier if it bit children and, if it did to leave. He said it didn't. He was treated by our EMT unit and visited our clinic to see if he was up on his shots. The incident was reported to our police force. But you cannot erase the tragic incident from a child who loves all types and sizes of dogs. Last night he asked me to spend the night and crawled into bed with his Auntie. He woke me late at night when, in his sleep, he heard dogs barking. He said, "Help! Guys Dog bites!" He was dreaming the dog attack again and stood straight up in bed and was trying to crawl up the wall. I held and comforted him while he cried in his sleep, I said there were no dogs and that he was safe. But it hurts to hear a future bull rider whimpering in his sleep who should be dreaming of beinga cowboy and not about a dog attack. A lot of us grew up with a Thanks for support grandmother who saved potato peel ings and leftovers to be heated for their beloved family dogs. Not in a small pot but a large pot. We were taught toca re forand love our fam ily dogs who protect our children, family and home. I wonder (because I never heard of) if in the past, a dog attacked a child, what our Elders would have done to the dog...Let's all try to select a friendly, loveable puppy or dog for our children. Let's keep all our children safe! "Schnozi'i" Auntie Liz Tewee Editor's Note: In a list formulated by the Humane Society of the Uni ted States nine pit bulls attacked and killed six people, including four small children and two adults, in six separate incidents.

Brown a paralegal To the Editor, The August 28, 1987 issue of the Spilyay Tymoo contained an arti cle on page 8 entitled "Attorney Available for Consultation." The article explained that David Brown, an associate attorney with our office, was available for consultations each Tuesday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Mr. Brown does work lor oui office, but he is not an attorney. He has formal education and expe rience as a legal assistant, or parale gal, and works very closely with the attorneys in our office, but he is not admitted to the practice of law. We are very happy to have David with us, and we believe he is doing an excellent job. He enjoys very much working with the tribal mem bers, as we all do. Dennis Karnopp In 1986, the Tribal Council adopted procedures, and directed the Land Use Committee to review the status of tribal land assign ments on the reservation, with a view towards making more lands available for homes for tribal mem bers. The procedures have stressed that all tribal members interested in land assignments be treated fairly and each individual situation be evaluated separately. The Land Use Committee is now beginning the process of review and is first considering those assign ments in which the original assign ment is now deceased. As the Land Use committee reviews these assign ments, notices of their recommended actions will be posted and pub lished before Tribal Council takes final action. Interested persons who have ques tions about the recommended actions can either contact the Realty office or the Land Use Committee. All recommendations or objections of interested persons will be consi dered by the Land Use Committee and will be passed on to the Tribal Council prior to the Tribal Coun cil's final action.
