Angel and Jose came back to the
states to live with their mother
after spending Ihe last 10 years
with their father
Flore had lived in Boring, Ore
gon with both of her children and
her husband, when her sons were
very young. But, due to the abu
siveness of her husband, she was
forced to leave him. She traveled to
Warm Springs to live with her
mother, Isabellc Keo. Her children
were left behind with their father.
The boy's last year of formal
education ended at the fifth grade.
The two brothers ended up travel-'
ing and working in Nyssa. Oregon,
as migrant workers. They wrote to
their mother as often as possible.
They were again moved by their
father to California where they
worked as field hands. After they .
worked in California, their father
took them over the border into
Mexico. The boys soon grew tired
of their father abusively "pushing
them around"and taking what lit
tle money they earned, so they had
no other choice but to try to cross
the border and come to Warm
Springs to their mother. Zillah had
let them know, in letter written car
lir, that she had made her home in
Warm Springs and was employed
at the Day Care Center.
Both boys were born in Gre
sham, Oregon, but only one of
them had his birth certificate with
him at the time they were to enter
tne u.a. witn some convincing,
officials let both of the boys cross
the border. They arrived March 7,
1990 and saw their mother for the
first time in almost 10 years in
April, 1990. Zillah did not know
what she felt.when her'sons came in
to the Day Care Center and recog
nized her and said, "Hi, Mom!"
It took some time for Angel and
Jose to get used to their new home,
but they now get out into the public
and are becoming acquainted with
their new home life and environment.

Biologist saves fisherman
Warm Springs tribal fisheries
biologist Mark Fritsch was in the
right place at the right time last
Monday, November 6.
While performing a carcass in
ventory near Trout Creek on the
Deschutes River with two people
from the Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife, Fritsch heard a
man yelling "help." He looked up
from his duties and saw an elderly ,
man floatingdown the river,,a fish
ing rod in each hand. The man was
not wearing a life jacket.
Fritsch grabbed the man and
pulled him in the boat. He imme
diately took him back to his camper
at Trout Creek campground so he
could get warm. ,
The man apparently was boating
in a portable collapsible boat. He
lost his balance and fell in. He was
fishing alone.

I he beef cattle production is
Undergoing dramatic changes as
they meet the demands of the re
tailers and consumers. To meet
these challenges the cow calf pro
ducer is being asked to produce
cattle to certain industry stand
ards.
Over the past two years the
Central Oregon Stockman's Semi
nar has focused on what type of
calves the industry was looking for
and what type of heifers would
produce the calves to industry
standards. As the Stockman's Sem
inar continues for its third year the
focus will be on selecting sires.
Stockman Seminar III will be
taking place at the Jefferson Coun
ty Fairgrounds, Madras, Oregon
on Saturday, December 1.
The 1 990 event is "Beef Produc
tion 90's Style" and will aga"in
feature Dr. Bob Long from Texas
Technical University. This year
Dr. Long will describe how to
select bulls thaf will sire calves to
meet the trends in the 90's. A part
of his presentation will include
using live bulls to demonstrate his
concepts.
Joining us this year -will be Dr.
Larry Cundiff, U.S. Meat Animal
Research, from Clay Center, Ne
braska. Dr. Cundiff will present
selection of cattle breeds for the
Western arid grasslands and using
EPD's.
To induce the seminar and tie us
into the concepts learned in the
previous two seminars will be Dr.
Bill Zollinger, Oregon State Uni
versity Extension Beef Specialist.
Even if a producer doesn't sell to
the large packers, producers will
likely be affected as industry
standards move certain directions.
