PACE 4 SptmbtrJS.IV Warm Springs, Oregon Spilyay Tymoo Editorial E Coosh EEWA (The way it is) Letters to the Editor "Spifyay Speak" Change suggested for race Tm EDITOR Highway 4 up Tcnino Valley has proven again to be a valua ble roadway on the Warm Springs reservation, especially during the time of the forest fires that were burning in the southwest area; namely the Twin Butteand White Water fires. Had it not been for the fairly decent roadway into the area, the fire fighters might not have had the comfort of riding a bus to and from the fire lines. A rough road probably would have required a stake body truck to transport the crews. The route may have been a little longer than cross-country but the sur face of the road made a big dif ference. The black top road led right to the area where the fires were burning. Just think of the wear and tear that was avoided by the use of Highway 4. We needed a road like that getting to and from the fires. It is a shame that all of Highway 4 will not be maintained or resurfaced anymore. There are many reasons why Highway 4 should be maintained and resurfaced. The main reason is to be prepared for what just happened, good access to and from potential forest fire areas in the future, a suitable roadway for transporting logs to the mill, for the use of tribal members to get firewood and to look after livestock within the area. We never realize the importance of good roads on the reservation until something like a major forest fire comes along to open our eyes. It was said that Highway 4 will not be kept up anymore but the 'road has proven to be a valuable asset to the reservation and should be kept up for future use for reasons such as forest fires. Could this come under trust responsibility? To the Editor, I would like to take this time to thank those who donated to my accomplishment in the Pi-Ume-Sha Endurance Race. I really appre ciateyourdonationsand time Buck, Jason and Champ, in making my first endurance race a success! 1 would like mention a fact to the Endurance Race Committee; whoever you are. The purse prizes for the race is truly unbclicvcablc! The men and junior category receive purse prizes. Seems possible with an entry fee of $75.00 per rider that the committee would be able to put together a budget for all stages of the cate gory entries, including women, so winners in all divisions could receive a purse prize. I wonder what the outlook is to visitors, especially the visiting opponents! Again, my appreciation and spe cial thanks to Buck, Jason and Champ! Mona Smith Pit bulls should be banned To the Editor, I live up on Bray Avenue in West Hills. About a month ago I noticed some boys leading a pit bull around by a leash. That in itself isn't bad, but what they were doing made my blood run cold. They were leading this dangerous animal into neigh boring yards and trying to get their dog to attack other dogs. When they came by my yard and attemp ted to get their pit pull to attack my German Shephard, I was angry. I went out and yelled at them to get off my property and if I saw them doing that again I would have to sign a complaint. I saw them three separate times doing the same thing in the neighborhood. Later on, I heard a pit bull had attacked a child. I think someone should be held responsible. The parents or the police. I had reported the above incident concerning boys provoking fights when it first hap pened, but I was told that it had to attack soemone first and not until then could anything be done against the dog. In other words, it had to maime or kill someone before any thing could be or would be done. As a mother and tribal member, I, for one, believe that pit bulls should be banned from the reserva tion all together. With school begin ning, a lot of kids will be walking to and from school. Also, with Hal loween just around the corner our kids will be walking house to house trick or treating. If there's a pit bull out there being trained to bite or attack, the children are in real danger. Something must be done to prevent a death or another attack from happening. Some cities have banned pit bulls already because of their unpredictable nature and tempe rament. That they're just like any other pet dog is a bunch of bull. Thank you, Myrna J. Bobb ? ' i i .
