Dog control to be enforced
Larry Crabb, a Multnomah County
field tactical animal control officer,
spent two days in Warm Springs re
cently qualifying law enforcement,
Fish and Game and Natural Resources
personnel on the use of the newly
purchased tranquilizer weapons. The
Police department purchased two
tranquilizer weapons at $600 (a hand
gun and a rifle) that will be used for
dog control purposes in Warm
Springs.
Beginning in July, all 17 trained
personnel will be enforcing the dog
control policy by using the tranquil
izing weapons to capture dogs that are
running loose or dogs that have been
abandoned. "The tranquilizer dose
will take about ten to fifteen minutes
to take effect on the animal," says
Sergeant of police Dave Allison.
"We're working with veterinarians to
find out quicker methods that are less
than lethal but quicker to
tranquilizeing them. Afterthe animals
are captured, they will be relocated
either to the humane society or to
families that will care for them. After
the animals are relocated, it will be
the new owner's responsibility to pay
license fees for their new pet. All
unlicensed dogs, dogs that are both
ering livestock or wild game will be
destroyed on site," says Allison.
By calling 553-1171, community
members can request an officer to
tranquilize or remove an unwanted
animal from their property.

Essays
1st place
Raylene Alana Ike Thomas We
Need to Keep our Rivers Clean
Because It's what keeps your body
full of energy. And keeps you alive
for a long time. But if people keep
putting garbage and raw food in there
it will be spreading in the river then
it won't be good for the living crea
tures in the river. Then they will die
and people won't like that. And the
water won't taste good like it's sup
posed to because people keep putting
that garbage in the rivers. And thats
not how you take care of our rivers.
We need water and water needs care.
So don't put garbage in the rivers.
And maybe we will stay healthy for
the rest of our lives
2nd place
Troy Kalama
A bear needs food, water, and so
they can live in a healthy environ
ment. Sodoesachildinordertohave
healthy water we should keep gases,
oils, and other poisons out of the
water. If you dump oil on the ground
the rain could wash it down to the
creek. We need to help trees and
bushes grow along the river bank so
the creeks and rivers stay cold. A
bear and a child need fresh clean
water, keep the environment clean
like you keep your room clean. Do
not poach, only kill what you need so
animals can have homes. Keep our
earth clean.
3rd place
Robert Thomas, Jr
We need to keep our forest green.
It would be nice to put more garbage
cans out in the forest. There should
be more look out towers. Some ani
mal care. Two are more water scien
tist and peole that clean the water. So
please don't throw trash on the forest
floor. Do not cut down trees and
leave them there. If you cut down a
tree plant another one there. Do not
leave a camp fire alone or you can
start a forest fire. Please don't poi
son the river. Don't run over little
trees with cars or we will not have a
forest to camp in or go hunting in or
a place to get lumber to build a house
to live in or we will not have a nice
warm fire to go home to. So get what
you need, but don't wast things na
ture gives us.
4th place
Heather Johnson
A tree and a child both need a
healthy environment because a tree
is as important as a child because it
gives us air and a child needs air to
live. But if peole keep littering the
tees would start dieing and the air
won' t be clean and the children would
start becoming sick and might die.
And there might not be much of and
environment left. Besides trees have
to have food and so does a child. A
tree needs water a child needs water
too. They need a lot of the same
things, but in different life styles.
We need to keep a healthey environ
ment. This is how you can keep our
environment clean don't liner don't
throw gas in rivers lakes etc. don't
dump litter and leave it because ani
mals could get stuck in it and die
