by Captain Don Courtney
A Tribal member along with a
Montana Indian were the latest ar
rested in the WS Drug Task Forces'
effort on the war against drugs.
The latest intelligence led the task
force team to the Wolfe Point area
where another search warrant was
executed that turned up a small
amount of packages known as
"bindles" which contained a white
powdery substance suspected as be
ing cocaine. Preliminary field testing
of the substance showed that the
substance did test positive as cocaine,
however results from the crime lab
are pending for verification.
As trial is pending, the task force
continues to urge community mem
bers to get actively involved in
criminal activity reporting.

From the Captain's Desk
For the first quarter of this year,
there were 19 breaking & entering
cases reported to the police depart
ment that resulted in only 5 persons
being arrested. With that, remember
these helpful hints:
1. ) If you are planning to go on
vacation, don't discuss your plans
out in the public, you never know
who might overhear your plans.
2. ) Make arrangements for some
one to either keep an eye on your
property & house, or you might want
to have someone stay there while
you are away. In any event, make
plans to have things done in & around
your home while you are away.
3. ) Check all your locks on win
dows & doors, make sure they are
working properly. I went to a call at
'this business where a break-in was
-i
Mir V
reported and it was discovered that
the window locks had been broken
for quite some time before the break
in. Cooperate with the officers if they
stop by...again we are here to help
you remain safe.

To the editor,
A farewell wellness salute to all
the people that took the challenge of
changing their lifestyles to the better.
I have seen many people take that
step in bettering their health and
wellness in the twelve years that I
have been in the WcllncssRccrcation
department. As of April 24. 1 will no
longer be employed as the Wellness
Recreation person, I will be trans
ferring to Kah-Nec-Ta in Andy
Lucas s old position. I regretted very
much making the change because
my First thought was of all the people
that relied upon me to lead the exer
cises and just supporting them in
their Wellness walk.
I thoroughly enjoyed and believed
in my job as a Wellness Health Pro
moter. I felt that I was a good role
model and example to the people, I
walked my talk. I believe that if I
could better my health, then you could
also, it is never too late to change
your lifestyle to the better.
Physically I was fit in my body,
Mentally I was stressed out, where it
was effecting my work. I believe that
all supervisors, directors, managers
take a good close look and listen with
miles were covered by WSPD.
What makes this event different
from other runs, is that this run is
without the pressure of competition.
You run the amount of miles you
want at your own speed. This run and
the dollars donated are for the benefit
of the special athletes in Central
Oregon.
The event for the Central Oregon
Law Enforcement Runners ended at
the steps of the Capital Building in
Salem. Our torch joined the Portland
area torch flown in by Life Flight
where McGruff the Crime Dog
handed off to the various other
agencies ready to complete the run to
Eugene for the opening ceremonies.
Special thanks goes out to those
who contributed and sponsored the
WS police officer runners (families),
the officers, the co-workers, and es
pecially to the GM Public Safety
Branch Jeff Sanders who continues
to support the officers efforts toward
physical fitness and a healthier
community.
According to Captain Courtney,
plans have already been made to be
gin the annual event here in Warm
Springs next year.

tected out of the contacts with 1 1

both cars when your line people come
to you with a concern, mainly listen
with your heart. The tribes are loos
ing some good people because of not
enough support or faith in their em
ployees. I can honestly say that I was
a good employee and dedicated to
my role as a health promoter. I will
also be a good employee for Kah-Nce-Ta.
I regret to say that I can't help but
get upset when I sec an article any
place stating that we plan on being
the healthiest Indian community by
2000. 1 could be so blind that I cannot
sec anything happening, but when
are we going to start, or has it started
already? and who? Especially when
there was two people in Wellness,
then one and now none.
I want to encourage everyone to
keep exercising, that is the best pre
scription that any doctor could give
you and it docs not cost a thing. I plan
to dedicate myself to keeping healthy
and fit and I want you to do the same.
Especially the people that looked to
me for extra support, you know who
you are, keep on trying and don't
give up.
I love you all Lucinda

successful fire suppression program
was allowing natural fuels to accu
mulate well beyond traditional
amounts. The reason this was oc
curring was due to the absence of
fire. Our dry climate inhibits de
composition of woody debris and
plant material by bacteria, conse
quently fire becomes the major de
composing agent. By reintroducing
fire under prescribed conditions we
can reduce this fuel accumulation to
acceptable levels.
Other benefits include increased
browse with higher protein content
for wildlife, rejuvenate grazing op
portunities for cattle, increase short
term site productivity by releasing
bound nutrients for plant growth and
creating a less fire prone environ
ment. Fire has also been recognized
as a major control factor checking or
reducing insect and disease popula

an undcrstory burning program to
meet these goals. The resource ben
efits of this burning is abundantly
clear. We can reintroduce fire and
provide favorable changes, biologi
cally and socially. There is an in
creasing need to reduce the threat of
catastrophic fire due to natural fuel
accumulations as we continue to in
vest in our forest and range resources
and build homes in these fuel types.
Our immediate goals is to annually
treat 2,000 acres over the reservation.
This program is conceptual and will
be developed through this new
management period governed by the
Integrated Resource Management
Plan.
Currently a large area in the vi
cinity of Quartz Butte, Simnasho
Butte and Laughlin Hills is being
studied to provide management di
rection for the reintroduction of fire.
An interdisciplinary team from For
estry and Natural Resources have
sketched a framework for this project
to follow. Tribal members wishing
to make a commitment to help de
velop a ten year plan are encouraged
to become a part of this team. Our
intentions are to provide Tribal
members information and opportu
nity to help guide this process.
Anyone interested in a field trip to
review past and current undcrstory
burning, view a formal indoor pre
