E Coosh EEWA: The way it is
"Everybody want's to be
Boss, There are some special
ists who hate to assist in fire
fighting when a fire gets out of
control. Everyone running around
like a chicken with it's head cut
off trying to be boss.
Probably if they would get a
hold of a shovel, an axe or hoe
and do some work on fire fight
ing maybe the fire would not get
out of control. Maybe they just
don't know how to fight a fire!
There are so many ways to
attack a fire and the main idea is
just good common sense.
There are bosses out there and
they don't need anymore bosses
to mess things up. Each group of men on the fire line has a foreman
or a boss of some kind and they have their orders on what to do. on
the fire line. If a person does not have a crew he should not go around
trying to tell people what to do as they already have their orders.
Now take a look at the fire a year or two ago that burned the whole
north and east side of the reservation. The fire could have been
contained at an early stage if things went right. But once the fire got
its start it went over Mutton Mountain and beyond that blackened the
whole east side of the reservation.
YeplEachcrew has its own boss and they expect him to give them
directions and not every Tom, Dick, and Harry that comes along
trying to order people around.
There was a person with a specialty that was needed on the fire
to do what they expected him to do and when he got started to do his
job here comes one of those "Wanna Be Bosses" started to tell him
to do other things than what he was there for and a little later here
comes another "Wanna Be Bosses," trying to get him to do other
things. It's pathetic of how guys try to get out of doing things
themselves so they try to be boss.
When ever they see someone doing things like this they should
give him a shovel and say get busy on a fire trail, because that's the
only way that will stop a fire is just a little work by everyone.
I'ye , seen fires about a half acre burning real slow and guys
standing around waiting for machinery to arrive to cut a trail around
the fire, and by the time the Cats get there its way out of control, while
it could have been contained if these guys would have cut a line in
front of the fire while its still getting started. They wait too long and
when its out of control than they panic and call for all the help they
can get.
Well the fire season is just about over and hopefully there won't
be any large fires around here. It gets pretty cold at night on the fire
line this time of the year.
Deer Hunting Season
The Deer Hunting season is in full swing here on the reservation
and people driving all over the countryside with their four wheeled
rigs. One time it was a real sport where people would get out and walk
the country to hunt deer. But with all the four wheeled rigs there isn't
anyplace where they haven't been.
Every little road or large trail there has been a four wheeled rig on
it with beer cans along the road side. If a person wants to go hunting
where there isn't others he must go way up in the high country in the
rough country to walk around and feel free to know there wasn't a
four wheeler in front of you. That's where the fun is when you are
alone in the high country in the thick timber and where there are no
logging roads.
The Elk season will soon be opening up for the month of
November from the first to the thirtieth. The same rules apply for the
elk season one bag of a horned animal per month for a family. The
elk population is increasing slightly each year and hopefully in the
near future there will be enough to have a longer season.
This time of the year the elk start their rut season and all the bulls
will be gathering all the female elk they can and you can hear the
bugling by the big bull elk in the forest. They usually go to the most
remote areas where the terrain is rough and rugged which makes it
a bigger challange to get a good big bull.
There is even a season for black bear and the same rules apply of
one bear per family per month. Don't know how people cure bear
meat and how they use it but I guess some do. A good bear Bar-B-Que,
like they used to have during the fourth of Juoy.
The bird season has its limits also but I'm not too sure of what it
takes the hunt birds like Quail, Ducks and Geese.

Why terminate the "designated hunter" for
To the editor,
Before the Treaty of 1855, our
traditional hunting and fishing
territory was vast. It extended beyond
the mapped out ceded boundaries of
today. Enormous regions of valuable
land was turned over to the Federal
Government, from Bend to Oregon
City up to Heppncr area and along
the Columbia River.
In return, exclusive rights were
reserved. Ouranccstorchicfsrctained
our traditional rights to hunt and fish
on the reservation and on our ceded
lands.
The exclusive right to subsistence
and ceremonial hunt and fish is also
a form of tribal properly. The right to

To the editor,
Hello from Pastor Rick. God helps
those who help themselves. And you
shall work out your salvation. Which
one is from the Bible? From the Bible
Paul says how we are to work out
your salvation. This means that we
must use and test the limits of the
gifts the Lord gives us. That means in
part to u se our heads about what to do
about life. Two of the greatest gifts
from Gdd is his blood and love for us.
And the creation of that small, soft,
round object between our ears called
the brain. We can think. We can
think about thinking. We can think
about life; about today, yesterday
and to dream about tomorrow. This
is not just an ape and man issue. With
our gifts we can dream and then work
to make that dream become real in
our lives. If we don't think then the
gospel becomes a story of God who
came to love a lump of coal not a
human being. There are some who
refuse to use their heads and to work
Spirit of giving
I would like to inform the com
munity that the spirit of giving does
continue after Christmas.
Some of you are aware that our
oldest son Jeremy Doney is blind and
has a talent for music. Through the
generosity of the Bend Kiwana's,
Jeremy has been able to take piano
lessons this summer. The Bend
Kiwana's has provide a stipend to
pay a piano teacher to assist Jeremy
perfect his piano playing talents. This
is the second time the Bend Kiwana s
has done this for our son and we are
truly grateful. We are grateful to Jean
MacConnochle of the Central Or
egon Regional Program for approach
ing the Bend Kiwana' s on our behalf
when we hadn' t receive any response
from the Warm Springs Johnson
O' Mallcy Program for our piano les
sons request for Jeremy last year.
I have another testament of the
spirit of giving. As the new school
year approaches I had gone to a couple

i:ike pnme and fish has always been
of immense economic importance to
many tribes, and it has equally great
cultural significance.
According to Tribal Biologist,
1999 is another fine year for the deer
and elk herds on the reservation. It is
also very good on our ceded lands,
thanks to the mild winters. It seems
like wc arc giving up a right every
year, this year is no exception, and
that is terminating the "designated
hunter."
The scenario is ironic and a
travesty. We should all be concerned.
What is the intent? In whose best
interest is it to deprive our Tribal
Members their right to subsistence

m;Kt have returned to VOU (JamCS
5:14). The righteous prayers and
anointing of oil will heal you (James

The Full Gospel need the young
and the old (Acts 2:17) and we arc all

Don't look at the "world" and what it

you and be set free (Galations 5:1)!
We ask that you please return to

Friends, take some time and think

you taking care of family OK? Are
you taking care of your community

surprised to find that my account had
been paid in full and it was done so
by someone who wanted to remain
anonymous. I was very pleasantly
surprised! Thecashiers seemedhappy

experienced definitely had a rippling
effect. The kids got most of every
thing they needed and I was able to
apply the money I would have paid
on that account to help with a car

could have known I had an account at
that store, but I want them to know I
am thankful for the extremely gener

I just wanted our readers to know

Lumber stolen
I am writing this letter to ici you
know someone had taken our lumber
from our fishing site at Sherars
Bridge. This has been my mother's
(Mabel Eylc) site and it was used
every year except last year. It sad
dens me to know that there is no
respect for the elders, who would
steal from us? The lumber was worth
approximately $500, so please if you
know who done this, return it so we
can continue our fishing too.
