The Red Ribbon has now become a sym bol for the drug free movement. Over 100,000 schools and or ganizations nationwide celebrate Red Ribbon Week, making it the most successful drug prevention event ever officers kept these particular people make it bad for everybody else who are trying to comply with our tribal law. It is bad enough that we have to have hunting regulations and seasons here, but it is worse when people poach an animal and leave a large amount of meat that is going to waste and just take what they want such as antlers, teeth and certain parts of the animal. Hunters: Elk season is just around the corner and begins Novem ber 1, 2000. Every hunter must dis play their tag upon request of a law enforcement officer. If should you bag or take an animal you are required to tag the animal immediately there after. If you should violate the law while hunting the enforcement officer(s) can and will most likely seize all property used in commission of the crime such as the following but not limited to: rifles, pistols, knives, vehicles, ATV's and animals. Dress for the appropriate weather while you are hunting. Always carry a pack or something that will assist you if you should get into trouble such as matches. A small fire can keep you warm and dry. If you should get lost or turned around from your hunting party, always keep in mind that you should find a commonly used road "Drug Free" message to all T1 be drug free held. Unfortunately, unhealthy mes sages continue to barrage our children from other sources. Although some illicit drug use has declined, marijuana and underage tobacco use are rising at alarming rates.

Attention: If hunter(s) are over due or you suspect the person to be lost, please report it as soon as pos sible to the Police department. Vital information must be given to the dis patch or officer and they are as fol lows but are not limited to: a. ) Location of where they are hunting?

(Example Road number) e. ) Does the person have a lunch andor water on them? This is just a few vital questions that may be asked and is very impor tant when you have lost a loved one that is overdue. Have a safe hunting season and SAFETY is 1 Priority. If you have someone that is overdue or any infor mation regarding these two particular poaching cases mentioned above no tified any of the Fish & Game officers or call the Warm Springs Police de partment at (541) 553-1 171 or 911. 1 ft .J i. a' C.H.E.T.
