Call 553-3274 with your answer, Officials stress The Natural Resources Branch and tribal law enforcement have asked ev eryone to be mindful of regulations pertaining to the upcoming hunting sea son. Most importantly, perhaps, is the urgent request not to hunt or harass the newly reintroduced bighorn sheep living in the Mutton Mountains. Twenty California bighorns, once native to the area, were acquired from the state of Oregon and transplanted along the Deschutes River in January. Wild herds of sheep had been absent from the Mutton Mountains for ap proximately 100 years and it took 20 years of negotiations with the state to make the reintroduction a reality.

Arthur Mitchell is a senior at Ma dras High School. He's returning this season as a starter on the offensive and defensive lines of the White Buffalos football team. He plays left tackle on offense and defensive tackle. Mitchell is feeling good about the upcoming season. There are a number of reasons why this year's team will be better than last year, said Mtichell. For one thing, he said, the players on the White Buffalo front lines are bigger in size than they were last year. Mitchell, for instance, is six feet tall and weighs about 215 pounds. Another factor in why the 2002 sea son should be an improvement over 2001: The Madras High School team last year saw a number of players suf fer injuries. This contributed to a 2001 season in which the White Buffalos won only one game, and the one win came by forfeit. "We're going to see a lot of improve ment this season," said Mitchell. "We're going to have a better season than last year." Mitchell is the only tribal member on the starting offensive line. He is 17 years old, son of Lori and Gorky Mitchell. After graduating at the end of the school year, Arthur Mitchell is planning to study health education. He is con sidering attending Haskell Indian' Na tions University. He could become a tribal health educator after college. Besides football, he plays basketball at tournaments on the reservation. White Buffalo Head Coach Dan Hiatt said of Mitchell, "I think he's a great kid. I le's a quiet kid, and he's a leader by example, rather than a vocal leader. 1 le started for us last year as a junior, so this year he is one of our seasoned veterans. He's doing a good job for us." importance of Tribal law currently protects bighorn sheep. However, if the bighorns multi ply and expand their range, a hunting season may be possible in the future. But if they are hunted and harassed, the probability of another reintroduc tion attempt in the foreseeable future would be slim. "For the benefit or your children and future tribal people, please take care of your newest wildlife resources," states a flyer being circulated by the Natural Resources Branch. Enforcement officials have also is sued a statement notifying hunters there will be a zero tolerance policy for vio lations during the deer and elk seasons.

"You enter every season with high expectations, so this is no different from any other season from a coach ing standpoint," said Hiatt. Last year, he said, was a transitional season. The coaching staff was new, as were the offense and the defense, he saidj "There was a huge transition last year. This year the players are more comfortable. They know the expecta tions of the coaches." Last year, he said, many of the start ing players were underclassmen. "They took their lumps, and gained valuable experience," said Hiatt. "They're work ing hard," he said. "They're very dedi cated and very coachable." The White Buffalo team may not have the most talent in the division, but dedication and hard work can make a difference in winning games, said I liatt. Storv idea?

This 195-mile race began at Timberline Lodge and ended at Seaside. The 12-person team from Warm Springs called Reservation Runners prepares to take on this challenge each year to do something together that they all enjoy. They completed the race with a time of 31:33:48 for 262nd place out of 281 teams. Now they prepare for the next year when they will run the race again. Hood to Coast is in its 21" year and runners nationwide arrive to run whether they are serious runners, ca sual runners, or just out to challenge themselves. Warm Springs' runners and walkers entered the Hood to Coast partner events, Portland to Coast Walk and Pordand to Coast High School Chal lenge as well. The team, "Lost in Pace," have walked in previous years and prepare each year to walk in the Pordand to Coast event. Their time this year was 30:15:14 for the number 99 place out of 162 teams. They also will prepare them selves for the 2003 event. Warm Springs for the first time had a youth team take the Portland to Coast High School Challenge. ! Sandra and Jerry Sampson, who ran . the 1 Iood to Coast relay yearly, decided to enter a high school team in the chal lenge. Their team name was "Shelly and the Jets." This team ran the 125-mile course with a time of 21:34:48 finishing 18 out of 18 in their category. Runners were all from Warm Springs except two who came from Las Vegas, Nevada and Albuquerque, New Mexico. After talking with team members, it was known that their top runners were passing other 4 to 6 teams per leg and had a good overall time. The team had a good turnout and time with a few problems, but all in all the runners had a good time and will challenge this course again next year.
