KWSO station manager, Mike Villalobos gives most of the credit to Federal justice rules in Indian Country A non-member appears before a federal Magistrate on drug and endangerment charges A late night traffic stop on the evening of June 7 has made tribal history. The normally routine action by Warm Springs patrol officers led to the arrest of a non Indian man on drug-related and child endangerment charges. The 43-year-old man, an Indian Health Service x-ray technician, is the first to appear before a U.S. Magistrate judge on the Warm Springs Reservation. If found guilty, the defendant could face substantial fines and spending time in federal prison. The defendant, Gary Stedder, brought from the Warm Springs Detention Center in handcuffs after spending the night in the tribal jail, made his initial appearance before Magistrate Dennis Hubel on June 9. Stedder was subsequently charged with possession of a controlled substance and endangering the welfare of a minor. Stedder was represented by a court-appointed federal defender.

"Obviously a large number of listeners :ners in Jenerson . v County like what they hear when they tune their radios to 91.9 FM. Steve McNally, Sue Ryan, Delson Suppah, Dana Smith, Ken Miller and Liz Smith, our core announcers, are talented and as professional sound ing as any announcers anywhere. Our ratings prove it. Alot of credit is also due to Warren R. Clements, Director of the Public Information Branch of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs who oversees the operation of KWSO. The 19th Warm Springs Tribal Council had a great deal to do with our success since they helped support the radio station and allowed us to serve our community."

Conditions included reporting to pretrial services; Stedder must refrain from using alcohol and drugs; he must submit to UA testing and pay a percentage of the testing fee; he must undergo drug and alcohol counseling and pay a percentage of the counseling fee; he must have no contact with the witnesses, nor must he have any contact with minors except if required in his work, and he must have no new law violations, whether they be state, federal or tribal. Hubel also "took under advisement" the matter of excluding Stedder from the Reservation. Dennis Hubel, an attorney with the Bend law firm that represents the Confederated Tribes, was appointed federal Magistrate Judge and will hear most Magistrate cases on the Reservation. P.O.

The NMDP Registry is a comput erized databank of tissue-typed po tential volunteer donors nationwide. Currently 85 Native Americans are searching the NMDP Registry for an unrelated matching marrow donor who may provide their only hope for a cure from diseases such as leuke mia and aplastic anemia. Because the unique tissue charac teristics of an individual's bone mar row are inherited in the same say one inherits skin, eye and hair color, a Native American patient's best chance of finding a perfect match is with another Native American. Of the more than 1 .6 million potential donors currently listed on the Regis try, fewer than 18,000 are Native American. Of the nearly 14,000 po tential donors from Oregon, fewer than 200 are Native American. To join the NMDP Registry, po tential donors give two tablespoons Gaming road The Bureau of Indian Affairs, Warm Springs Agency proposed to construct a highway project, using Federal Highway trust funds on the Warm Springs Reservation, OR. This road will serve to improve access to the Kah-Nee-Ta Lodge and Indian Head Gaming Center. Based on the Project Assessment for Kah-Nee-Ta Road Extension and public comments gathered during the period of June 5 through June 15, 1995 we have determined that the proposed action does not pose a sig nificant impact upon the human en vironment.

Since 1987, more than 3,380 pa tients have received NMDP-facili-tated marrow transplants. Only 14 Native American patients have found unrelated matches through the NMDP. As the number of potential Native American marrow donors listed on the Registry increases, so will the odds of survival for Native American patients in need. Joining the Registry does not guarantee that a person will be a match and be asked to donate mar row for a patient needing a trans plant. If a preliminary match is found, further tests are performed to ensure an exact tissue type match. If the donor and recipient prove compat ible, and the donor consents, his or her marrow will be drawn in a minor surgical procedure. To ensure confi dentiality, donors and recipients are told little about each other. Potential marrow donors must be between 18 and 55 years of age, and be able to pass a thorough physical examination.
