The Honor Senior Day went real
well, there were two intoxicated in
dividuals who had to be removed
from the area but no other problems.
The bus unloading and loading went
very smooth, with people going right
into the registration tents. Everyone
had a great time and enjoyed them
selves. We have been giving out infor
mation on crime prevention, securing
homes with locks, window security
and effective lighting for yards. There
has also been a lot of seat safety
promotion done, remember to use
your seat belts, and make sure your
passengers do to. The seat belt might
seem like a pain to put with, but just
think of the pain it can prevent.
Community Policing spent time
with the 2nd Graders at HeHe this
week on their annual Natural Re
source Day outing. There were over
three hundred students at this gath
ering. Everyone had fun, the weather
was good though a bit chilly.
Plans have been finalized for a
Citizen's Police Academy which will
be starting on June 6, 2000. The

stepping up its enforcement efforts
on the rivers and burn areas. On May
20, 2000, 1 was able to spend all day
on the Deschutes River. A total of
fifteen persons were contacted be
tween Dry Creek and the Wasco
Jefferson County Line. All of these
persons were non-Tribal members
but they all had the proper permits.
As mentioned also in the last
Spilyay the Warm Springs River and
it's Tributaries have been closed as
per the Sherars Bridge Resolution,
9858. Some Tribal members have
been contacted in response to the
resolution that were found to be
fishing on the river, primarily for
trout. The time spent with those
members was informing them on the
resolution and issuing one time ver
bal warnings, due to alot of people
still not knowing about the resolution.
Officer Larry "Bubba" Holliday
along with Natural Resources En
forcement Officer, Lester Poitra, re
cently patrolled the Metolius Arm of
Lake Billy Chinook.
This effort resulted in several
contacts, with two persons being cited
to appear in Tribal court for not hav
ing a fishing permit. Some fishing
equipment relating to the violation
was seized and the case is pending
disposition in Tribal court.
More river and lake patrols are
being scheduled as well as satura
tions of the wooded areas. We are
hoping to have a high success rate
with our combined efforts with the
Department of Natural Resources.
Recently I assisted the Detectives
from our department in a drug search
warrant that was served. My part in
the detail was that the detectives had
found a dead calf and some fish in the
back of a vehicle. The results led to
one Tribal member being cited for
two counts of livestock si aughter and
one Hispanic individual being cited
for theft of the livestock. The calf
was found to have been shot in the
Whiskey DickScookum Creek area.
One rifle was seized and the fish was
released to the Tribal Members fam

have been caught legally by Tribal

EMS week was outstanding,

In Simnasho I have been taking
alot of motor vehicle accident re
ports in the Schoolie Flat area, on
Highway 3 between milepost 15 and
Simnasho. The accidents primarily
consist of vehicles versus livestock.
In some research that I had re
cently worked on, I had found that
most of the accidents on the Reserva
tion that relate to vehicles versus
livestock occur on Schoolie Flat.
Motorists are urged to keep to the
speed limit which is 50 MPH, wear
your seatbelts. and keep an eye out .
for anything moving on the side of
the road. The Schoolie Flat area is
open range however I have been dis
cussing with Ronnie Suppah, one of
the Simnasho Grazing District ride
bosses, about improving the fence
line throughout the area.
As a reminder, if you have any
information for violations that have
occurred or that is on going relating
to Fish and Game or the Simnasho
Community, there are some numbers
that you can call. The Department of
Natural Resources has a hunting and
fishing information line, which is
553-2000. The Agency has a hot line
number, which is 553-2202. My di
rect line into the Simnasho office is
553-2263. It has an answering ma
chine, if I or one of the Fish and
Game officer's are not present. You
need not give your name if you wish.
Until the next Spilyay be safe and
hope to see you at the grand opening! !

Hello, Congratulations to the Boys
& Girls Club for it's opening of doors
to the little people. Because of the
location, we ask that you traveling
motorists watch out for kids in the
area of the Community Center.
I have noticed that for the most
