New York students gather around Greeley at National Museum of
the American Indian
and spitting notes that blend into his
unique sound
As he performs more, he is in
creasingly rewarded by the response
from his audiences. At his recent
Smithsonian appearance, New York
school children were enthralled by
the unfamiliar sounds. One child
exclaimed, "When I listen 1 can see
myself as an eagle, flying high up to
the sky." One evening an older
woman confided, "livery time you
play your music, you take me to
another place."
"That just stops me in my tracks.
To be able to transport people, it's
awesome!" Greeley is obviously
amazed that the music that enhances
his spirituality and connection with
his background brings joy to others
as well. He emphasizes the mutual
ity of the experience between musi
cian and audience before each per
formance when he advises, "I can tell
a story, but if you hear something
different, it's your story,"
In another story, one of Pueblo
origin, lmg Sash (the constellation
Orion) led his people from a land
of war to one where they might live
in peace. I Ic guided them carefully
along the way. Perhaps on that night
1991 when Greeley awoke to the
glimmer of Orion's stars, I-ong Sash
became his guide - to help him dis
cover the haunting, soaring, longing
notes that have the power to trans
port us all.
To hear Greeley "tell his stories"
in his magical way, catch him this
weekend (March 24,h and 25,h) at
Chinook Winds Casino Powwow or
contact him for his CD's which arc
available for $10.

Officer Introduction
Hello community of Warm
Springs my name is William L Sam
aka (TACO), I have lived here in
Warm Springs all of my life. My two
grandmothers Mary Danzuka, and
the late Nancy Johnson raised me.
Since the age of six 1 have always
wanted to serve in Law Enforce
ment. During the summer of .1994,
Chief Don Courtney, and I.t.
Stoney Miller made it possible when
they hired me as a police cadet
through the work force develop
ments cadet program. For the next
four summers, I served as a police
cadet until 1999 when 1 accepted a
full time position as a 911 dis
patcher. I joined the Law Enforcement
field because I wanted to help make
a difference in my community do
ing what I can to make it safer for
everyone. As a 91 1 dispatcher for the
Warm Springs Police Department,
my duties include answering phone
calls for help when someone is in
need of police, fire, ot EMS services.
In the near future I hope to con
tinue to,. SL'rve .the community of . .
'arm Springs iri the police depart
ments Patrol Division protecting life
and property on the reservation, and
dispensing justice under Federal,
State, and Tribal Laws when and
where it is needed.
' I would also like to take the time
to thank the following people for
believing and encouraging me to
continue in police work because
without them, I might not have
made it to where I am today. My
appreciation goes out to Chief Don
Courtney, Lt. Stoney Miller,
Deputy Glenn Fluhr, Mary Calica,
Erma Garcia, Billie Jo Bagley, Rob
ert Whittenburge, Mariam Tias,
Earlene Tufti, Leeann Tufti, Mark
Coffee, Maria Lopez, Jimmy Tohet
Jr, Buster Isadore, Garrett Greene
and many others.
Last but certainly not the least,
one who has always been there 24
hrs a day 7 days a week and 365 days
a year showing her continuing love
and support my mom Mary
Danzuka. Without her, my dream
of becoming a COP would have
never come true. Words will never
express how much I appreciate what
you have done for me over the past
20 years.
Corrections Corner
Greetings from the Warm
Springs Corrections facility
As the new Lt. of Corrections, !
have been here for over a month and
it seems like I just started yesterday.
The support and friendliness from
the community has been excep
tional. I would like to use this col
umn to provide some information
concerning jail operations and ku
dos' for my staff
The following are some policies
that have been implemented in or
der to provide some structure to the
running of the facility.
Inmate Property- Inmates are
only allowed the following items
from outside the facility, 3 changes
of undergarments, and three pairs
of socks. Any other items brought
into the facility will be refused.
Inmate Money- Family members
may bring in money for their fam
ily inmates. You will be given a
receipt for the amount and the
money will be posted to the
. inmate's books. This money is for !
their use in buying 'commissary
items.
Money Disbursement- Inmates
may disburse money to their im
mediate family, parents, wife, or
children. No other disbursement
will be allowed
Staff Recognition-
We have enticed Tamara Kalama
to return to the Corrections field.
Tamara brings lots of experience and
knowledge to our little department.
Officer's Farrell Shortman and
John David will be attending the

this month. We fully expect them
to graduate with honors.
Officer Chris Seed is a new mem
ber of our Corrections Staff. He is a
resident of Madras and wants to
make Corrections his career.

It is said the presence of
Kokopelli, a symbol of fertility, can
be felt whenever life comes forth.
The notes that flow from Greeley's
flute, evoking timeless themes of
earth and man, could well be those
of his ancestor, so universal arc they
in their call.
Greeley returns to his Hopi fam
ily as often as possible, partaking in
Rattlesnake Dances, the Kokopelli
Flute Ceremony and Kachina
Dances. Of his blending of tribal
backgrounds he says, "My magic
3,.
i -rf"
V . ".W- 1 ft
k - - - - ' - -
t omes from the rivers as well as the
. deserts. Thai's where I get mv bal
' ance."
The flutes that convey his spirit
are as deceptively simple in their
appearance as the clear notes they
produce. Visually, each is unique.
'. Some include a "block" carved in the
shape of a whale, wolf or other ani
jnal which serves a functional as well
. as decorative purpose.
The length, diameter, hole place
ment and wood from which they are
carved give each a unique personal
ity and musical key. Greeley laughs,
"They arc like people - even two
twins are never completely alike."
.And, like people, some are more
challenging than others. He chooses
between these individuals to create
' the special mood he desires." Occa
sionally he finds two flutes who
"mate - they are two hearts as one"
and plays them simultaneously.
The simplicity of the instrument,
however, makes the flutist's job
more demanding. Greeley has devel
oped a range of breathing and
mouthing techniques to create the
trills, bending notes, gargling notes,
.

2002
timber sale assessment released
The Resource Management Inter
disciplinary Team has released a
draft project assessment covering the
2002 Timber Sale for public review.
The document was prepared by the
Project Interdisciplinary Team
(P1DT) to provide options for tim
ber harvest in the upper Metolius
River, Whitewater River and
Jefferson Creek watersheds.
Four alternatives were formulated
and numerous logging methods were
considered for this project, taking
into account present resource con
ditions, forest health and public in
put. The 2002 Timber Sale is ex
pected to yield approximately 53
million board feet.
There are opportunities for
Tribal Organizations to utilize in
mate workers. If you have jobs that
need to be done around your Tribal
Organization, we have lots of eager
ambitious workers at your disposal.
We are sorry but we cannot take by
name requests for any inmate workers.
Letter to parents
Dear Parents,
Yes, it's finally SPRING BREAK!!! I just wanted to take a minute
to remind you that with state testing coming up the week of April
9-13, the weeks immediately following the break are very impor
tant. The first two w-ecks after the break are spent on a final review of
all concepts that will be covered on the state tests, grades 1-4 and,
of course, the third week after break will be the actual tests. It is
very important that your children attend school on these days.
They have worked very hard this year and are just about ready to
really rock these tests! Please help them be totally ready by making
sure they arc in school following the break. Thanks!
Dawn Smith, Principal
Warm Springs Elementary
The document is divided into sec
tions explaining the purpose and
need for action, resource-based in
dicators used to help the technical
staff analyze and mitigate environ
mental impacts, and details'of the
four alternatives. There are maps
showing the harvest blocks, quick
reference tables to compare the al
ternatives, a list of measures needed
to mitigate environmental conse
quences, and the PIDT's recom
mended alternative.
The goal of Alternative A is to
continue current management. Ac
tivities such as hunting, recreation
; jjt
V
and cultural food gathering would
continue as in the past. The only
harvest proposed under Alternative
A would be through conventional'
salvage operations.
The emphasis of Alternative B for
the 2002 sale would be to use the
current transportation system,
shortest haul routes and lowest road
maintenance to harvest timber
within the project area. Emphasis
would also be placed on timber
stands with high and moderate for
est health problems. Seventy-three
percent of high priority acres iden
tified in the project area would be
treated under this" alternative. The
net harvest volume would be 53
million board feet of timber, includ
ing 527 acres of commercial thin,
1,151 acres of seed tree, 1,481 acres
of shelterwood and 577 acres of land
scape prescriptions.
The emphasis of Alternative C
would be to treat stands with high
and moderate forest health prob
lems. Seventy percent of the high
priority acres identified in the
project area would be treated under
this alternative. The net harvest vol
ume would be 49 million board feet
of timber, including 1,658 acres of
commercial thin, 617 acres of seed
tree and 1,193 acres of landscape pre
scriptions. Alternative D, which is the
PIDT's recommended alternative,
would emphasize the treatment of
high and moderate priority forest
health issues. Ninety-seven percent
of the' high priority acres identified
in the project area would be treated
under this alternative, including
1,658 acres of commercial thin, 562
acres of seed tree and 1,545 acres of
landscape prescriptions.
The alternatives would have vary
ing effects on water, fish, wildlife,
cultural, timber, range, soil and eco
nomic resources. There would also
be some changes to the transporta
tion system, which could include up ;
to 1.7 miles of new road construc
tion, depending on which alterna
tive is approved.
For more information or copies
of the documents contact Rich
Lohman in the Forestry Branch, or
call 553-2416. Tribal members have
30 days to comment on the pro
posed sales.
