Council attendance for November TOTAL NUMBER OF MEETINGS HELD 10 DATE November, 1987 A Designated Skidtrails work shop attracted approximately 40 Bureau of Indian Affairs Forestry Department personnel. Warm Springs Forest Products Industries employees, tribal employees and contract loggers. The two-day semi nar focused on resource protection and logging efficiency. Specialists in forest practices from Oregon State University presented the November 23 and 24 workshop with lectures, slides and Held work. Discussion ranged from soil com paction and the economics of it to laying out skid trails and post harvest treatments. The workshop was discussed after Oregon State University president John Byrne visited with Tribal Coun cil in April. Tribal Council repre sentatives expressed a need for education regarding the Tribe's forest resource. BI A Assistant Forest Manager Bill Donaghu says Tribal Council wanted those who worked in the forest to have more informa tion on "protecting our land and our sites." BI A Forestry department annu ally sponsors a logger's meeting, but this one, says Donaghu, was attended by more people than usual. Participation during the workshop was high with many questions being asked and discussion taking place. This meeting was "basically dol lars and cents to the loggers," says Donaghu. If they build skid trails in the right places it makes them money, he adds. Environmentally, the use of desig nated skid trails will prevent soil compaction. It "forces organiza tion" in the logging operation, says Donaghu. Skiddcrs stay on the same trails going out and coming back rather than working on a "helter-skelter" log-gathering approach. Along with other participants, Donaghu explains that BIA fore sters learned from the workshop. For several years the Forestry depar tment has been trying to imple ment designated skid trails. "There ' has been some resistance," says Donaghu. Loggers have been ask ing a lot of questions. "Some of the answers weren't completely valid." he says. Designated skid trails "are not the answer everywhere in the forest," and they are not always less costly. Oregon State Univer sity specialists updated forestry infor mation and provided many answers. Next summer a one-day work shop at the site of logging opera tions will be held as part of the Skid trails seminar. Following is a list of those attend ing the workshop: BIA-Carla Buckland.

It can be part of a good time or it can present a real danger. Alcohol is a drug in that it can alter your moods, cause changes in your body and it can be habit forming. The same amount of alcohol is contained in a 12-ounce can of beer, a five-ounce glass of wine or a mixed drink containing I '$ ounces of liquor. The effects of alcohol on the body occur quickly because it isn't digested like other foods and liq uids, but it is absorbed directly into your blood stream from the stom ach and small intestine. The alco hol is carried quickly to the brain and other parts of the body until it is burned up by the liver. If you weight 150 pounds, it takes about two hours for each drink to leave your system. If you weigh 100 pounds, it takes over three hours. Coffee of cold showers ca nnot speed up that process. Alcohol is a "downer drug." It depresses your central nervous sys tem. Gradually, all your body's f..nrtions are slowed down.

He went on to state The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Tribal Council Estimo enlists Portland Oregon Lois K. Estimo, daughter of Tom Estimo and Delia Smith, both of Warm Springs, has enlisted in the U.S. Army. She will leave for eight weeks of basic train ing at Ft. Jackson, South Carolina on April 6, 1988. Upon completion of basic, she will attend advanced individual training at Ft. Lee, Vir ginia to prepare for her assignment as a material control and account ing specialist. Estimo, who enlisted for four years, is a 1 980 graduate of Madras High School. She attended NEC Skadron Business College in San Bernardino, California, signed the application as the spon sor this month. Also offered will be a new type of scout, the Tiger Cub, which will be for boys who are too young to enter cub scouts. An explorer group designed for older boys and girls will also be offered. According to Kalama one of the reasons the scouting dropped off before was that he was trying to handle everything and that did not give him enough time to actually spend with scouts. This time Tribal Council has appointed Jody Calica to coordinate the entire program. It will give Kalama the time needed to work with the children. Any interested boys or girls should contact Jody Calica 's office at 553 1 161, ext. 228. It is expected there will be a membership drive but nothing definite has been announced. get drunk. Besides the fact that drinking is not legal until you are age 21, drinking can cause other problems if you get in a situation where alco hol is available to you. Keep in mind: Do not drink any faster than your body can burn up the alcohol; no more than one drink every two hours for the average size person. Sip, don't gulp your drink. Be sure to eat while drinking, that will slow down the alcohol's passage into the bloodstream and brain. Don't drink at all when you're feeling sick, tired or are angry, tense or depressed. When you drink to escape problems, you run the risk of dependency on alcohol. Do not mix drinking with sports or other physical activities includ ing driving. Alcohol is related to 70 percent of fatal falls, 69 percent of drownings, 40 percent of work acci dents and 83 percent of fire fatalities. Never use alcohol with any other drug. The drugs multiply the effect. You can die of overdose. Time is the only way to sober up. Drinking and driving are the number one cause of deaths among teenagers. If can happen to you. Alcohol often gives a person the feeling of being more powerful and more in control than usual. Ask a friend who has not been drinking to drive or call someone, a friend or a parent for a ride. Riding with a drunken driver isn't cool, daring or loyal it's just plain dangerous. There's always another way home. Try to prevent a friend who is drunk from driving. But don't just stay quiet rather than make trouble about the ride. Your own safety is at stake It's OK not to use alcohol. Some times it can be hard to resist pres sure from friends but the best way to refuse a drink is simply to say, "no thanks." You don't need excuses or apologies. Remember, you're in control. No one else can get you drunk. It's your decision. Budget cuts will affect operations Judge upholds federal ruling A $1 18,820 budget reduction in the Culture and Heritage depart ment "will affect our operation." says Culture and Heritage depart ment director Nina Rowe. "Obviously, I'm not satisfied with the cuts," Rowe states, "I feel like our department should be consi dered equally with other depart ments." The budget cuts eliminates two positions and will limit the number of cultural classes that the depart ment can hold. Cultural tapes, which go to tribal departments and cultu ral teachers, can no longer be given without charge, says Rowe. In addition Rowe indicates that it may be necessary to hold fund raising activities to purchase needed equipment. "That's how much we're committed," Rowe adds.

The regulation had been chal lenged by David Sohappy, Sr. and eight other Indians who were served with eyiction notices in 1984 by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The notices sought to evict the Indian from the riverside fishing grounds set aside by the federal government to compensate for tra ditional fishing sites submerged in 1957 by the pool behind Bonneville Dam. Authorities on Friday also post poned until Monday a court hear ing on a proposal to move Sohappy to a California medical facility from a prison near Spokane, Washing ton where he is serving a five-year prison term for federal fishing viola tions. In the permanent residency case, the Indian challenged regulations controlling fishing sites now located at Cook's Landing, Wind River and Underwood in Washington and at Lone Pine near The Dalles and at Cascade Locks in Oregon.
