The shooting has stopped in the Persian Gulf and everything looks like it will turn out for the best. Let's hope so. All the POW exchanges and whatever agreements are to be made are just about final. I'm just happy it ended. The troops will be coming home, but there will probably be a few that will have to remain in the area for a time to see that nothing starts up again. Well, this should make those peace lovers happy. Some of them say they sympathize with the families who have sons and daughters in the service. Then, they go on to say everyone never takes the lives at stake of those who are in the war zone. Come on Charlie. What they don't seem to realize is that if the troops had not stepped in when they did, and stopped the agres sion, many, many more lives probably would have been lost. I believe all those people have to do is protest against whatever comes along just to make the scene. If Saddam Hussein would have invaded the U.S. what would these peace lovers do? Protest against the troops who are fighting for our rights? They probably would be the first to squawk, "Where's our troops to protect us?" They would find something to protest about. Well, for the good of those peace people 1 hope they will realize the reason for stopping the aggression of what happened over there. Ah-Nah-Chi-Toon! Anthology now available To the Editor, The Simnasho grazing group met on February 27, 1991 to dis cuss fencing projects; water devel opment projects and any other issues that needed discussing. The membership attendance was sparse. The projects that were approved were a fence from Earl Millers property west to Red Lake. The secondary fencing project was in the Schoolie pasture for a fence from Schoolie Ranger station to Rocky Point and then back to Hwy. 26 somewhere near Robin son Park. The water projects were priori tized at general spring enhance ment in our grazing area; and re pairing the Simnasho Butte Lake. Other topics that came up were gate closures on new Hwy. 3 fence. The stock owners felt that a range management plan can only work if all people involved do their part. Gates that were mentioned were the Tony Suppah gate; the Mit chell gate; and the Sand Trap gate. Another concern was the dual usage of two ranges by some peo ple. The leasing of our tribal range land to members of other grazing group members. The range land is becoming very valuable and the group felt that it should be utilized by our membership. The stock rotation plan was developed and depending on the water situation will be followed by all stock owners. It was decided that if we have to chase the water that we'd better re-think our rota tion and come up with some alter natives. All members will be watch ing the existing drought situation and we will be meeting again on May 1, 1991 to possibly modify our plan. General horse round-up will be gin the first of March and continue until the middle of May. We will be starting at Schoolie flat and Island area. All owners are requested to saddle up. Last but not least I wish to encourage all livestock owners to get involved; come to the meetings. Also participate in the rides and working of our stock. I'd also like to thank the range committee and the Natural Resources range pro gram for all of their help with our grazing group. Ron Suppah Simnasho Ride Boss Youth encouraged to continue sports To the Editor, Every year the Scckseequa Ani mals sponsor a co-ed slow-pitch Softball tournament on the first weekend in August. This year be cause of the passing of my beloved brother, Ed Henry, Sr., the tourna ment will be postponed and we will sponsor a memorial tournament next year at the same time. The team members have decided not to play Softball this year out of respect to their uncle, however, the youth in the family are encouraged to continue their participation in sports events. (It was heart-warming to watch them play in the 16 and under basketball tournament this last weekend.) My brother and I worked hard at keeping the kids involved and his enthusiasm is go ing to be greatly missed in the future sporting events. Therefore, the group of young teenagers are going to keep alive his memory and encouragement and are getting plans together to sponsor their own youth co-ed son Dan tourna ment which will be held on the weekend normally reserved for the Animals tournament. At this time, I would like to thank all those people who have come to me with kind words of support. It was heart-breaking for me to lose Ed as I felt I not only lost a brother, but my very best friend. Thank you Ellen Henry Johnson Hugs go out to hundreds on Valentine's Day To the Editor, Many hugs were seen given dur ing Valentine's Day. It was very catching also, there were people watching that had not bought or Awards offered in health contest Dancing on the Rim of the World, An Anthology of Contem porary Northwest Native Ameri can Writing is now available from the University of Arizona Press. This anthology devoted to Native American writings from the Pacific Northwest gathers the work of thirty-four artists who testify to the vibrancy of the region's Native cultures. The 137 selections, prose as well as poetry, represent works of such well-known authors as James Welch, Duane Niatum, and Mary TallMountain, and also showcase many lessor-known writers at the start of their careers. At the heart of the book lies the question of what place really means to both writers and readers. How do we shape our land and how are we shaped by it. Each author's contribution is followed by biographical and applicable bibliographical information. An introductory essay by Elizabeth Woody and Gloria Bird, places the collection in perspective.

To the Editor & Community mem bers, s It seems early to be approaching you regarding a booth or exhibit in the 1991 Jefferson County Fair, but we must begin making our plans.
