Recently released, "A Sweetness to the Soul" is a historical novel described by The Oregonian as having "an authentic voice" in which the author takes readers back to the 1800s with "depth, empathy and soul." Based on real Central Oregonians, Jane and Joseph Sherar, the book shares the love and disappointments of this frontier couple and the critical role of the Warm Springs, Wasco and Paiute Indians as the Shcrar's pursued a seemingly impossible dream along the Deschutes River known as Sherar's Falls. Jane interviewed tribal members Olney Patt, Margaret Charley and others to discover memories of the Shcrar's. The Culture and Heritage Department assisted in researching authentic spellings of Wasco and Sahaptin words and gave permission for their use. Several other tribal members are acknowledged by Jane for their encouragement and support of her writing this novel. She also interviewed descendants of the Shcrar's and had access to their personal papers to lend authenticity to this fictional story. Kirkpatrick's non-fiction book, "Homestead" published in 1991 is the story of the Kirkpatrick's decision to buy, build and survive on 150 rattlesnake-infested, sagebrush covered acres along the John Day Riverin north central Oregon in 1984. Several Warm Springs community people appear in this book as well. "Both books are stories of adventurers and 'homesteaders' separated by 150 years and on different isolated rivers," notes the author. "But neither could have accomplished their dreams without family, friends and a sustaining faith." Both books have been promoted nationally. Kirknatrick's essavs and articles have appeared in over 50 national Eublications. She has won awards in cr native state of Wisconsin and through Oregon's Willamette Writers and the John Jake's national writing competition. She is a frequent workshop and conference presenter and founding member or Women Writing the West. A registered Clinical Social Worker, Jane and her husband, Jerry, continue to live at the ranch in Sherman County that was the subject of her book "Homestead."

The proposed sale is located witnin tne Seekseequa and Shitike Watersheds on the Warm Springs Reservation, (please see the management area map). From 1,223 to 598 acres, depending on which alternative is chosen, are proposed for harvest utilizing a variety of logging methods. The sale would yield from 3.9 to 16.2 million board feet (MMBF) of timber depending on which alternative is chosen. Upon completion of this proposed activity, open road densities would be reduced to 4 miles or less per section. This would be accomplished by either ripping or blocking existing roads. An imnortant reason for undertaking this timber sale is to improve forest heaitn. Another alternative, alternative B, was analyzed and discarded because it failed to meet management objectives. This is the first Of three assessments for 1996 sales. The packet is available for public viewing and comments.

Headquartered on the Santa Ana Puehlo reservation in New Mexico, Americans for Indian Opportunity serves as a catalyst for new concepts and opportunities for Native Americans in a constantly changing environment. AIO works with tribal governments and tribal people to develop leadership, institutions and structures that can deal with change using new ideas and creative initiatives based on traditional tribal values. By finding new ways to manage change, tribes can make positive contributions while maintaining a strong tribal identity. AIO is based on three major premises. First, the strength of Indian peoples, both collectively and individually is in the tribe. Second, strong tribal communities and governments can have a significant impact on the world. And third, tribal governments are sovereign units of government with the power and ability to determine their own futures. r t
