River: permit opponents have economic stake (Continued from page 1) O n this segm ent o f th e Deschutes, where management goals seek to minimize encoun ters with other people, target lev els may have been exceeded more than 20 times.. “The tribes went to the legis lature in 1984 and tried to get something done, which led to this process,” said Henrickson. “Tribal m em bers were being harassed away from the river and they wanted to do something about it. The tribes have been unrelenting in their position and they’re not going to go away. They’re n o t going to change their minds about how the riVer should be used.” O pp onents o f the perm it system say the trend in boater use is downward. They believe the targets could be reached in the years ahead without putting absolute restrictions on the num ber o f daily users. Suggestions to reach compliance included more analysis, revision o f the user targets, amending the plan, modifying river segment bound aries, doing away with annual passes and charging everyone the daily fee, and strategizing other ways to distribute use. Federal and state representa tives emphasized they are not going back on their commitment to reach the targets, but none outside of the BIA want to im- ...oddly enough the majority o f those who spoke out against a permit system have an economic stake in the matter. pose a permit system. They said they would be willing to work harder to reach the targets and they just want a couple more years to prove their sincerity. “I f I take this back to Tribal Council they’ll say this is the same decision we had in 1993 and '94 and '95 and every other year,” said B runpe. “T ribal Council has pretty much given up on this group.” Brunoe said he would write a letter to the executive board and ask for th§ir direction on the perm it system in general, and on the tribal proposal to implement a pilot permit system in 2004. The executive board is convened to make decisions w hen the Low er D esch u tes River Managers fail to reach consensus. Many opponents o f the per mit system were apparently frus tra te d by the C o n fed erated Tribes’ persistence. They use the boater numbers compiled by the Bureau o f Land M anagement to point out positive trends and question the tribe’s insistence to impose strict regulations.

You may bring any JV team set for new season ‘We’re still a young team, but we do have several varsity players returningfrom last year. ” B y D a ve M cM echan Spilyay Tymoo Isaiah Tewee is one o f a number o f Madras High School basketball players who is return ing this season to the varsity squad. The good number of return ing varsity players is one reason why Madras can expect to have a good basketball season again this year, said Tewee. Coach Evan Brown agrees. “We played a lot of sophomores last year,” he said. “We’re still a young team, but we do have several varsity play ers returning from last year.” Tewee is a junior this year. He plays point guard. Last year as a sophomore, Tewee began the season on the junior varsity squad. P artw ay in to the season, though, he moved up to varsity, and started some of the remain ing games, including some o f the post-season competition. The White Buffalos basket ball team last year was second in the league. They made it to the state tournament, and played in the quarter finals.

Judge Lola Sohappy, Tribal Court. Some believe m inor alter ations in accounting will bring the numbers into compliance. Others say the numbers are al most impossible to read, because once a boater has left a launch site it’s very difficult to track them dow nstream , making it appear as though there are too many people within a particular segment when they are actually somewhere else. Tribal representatives said they are tired o f playing a num bers game. User data has been compiled by the state o f O r egon, Bureau o f Land Manage ment, Oregon State University, and a private contractor. All of the numbers indicate targets are being exceeded and gathering new numbers won’t change any thing. Brunoe and Henrickson said the C onfederated Tribes are tired o f waiting. The plan called for a permit system to be imple ment in 1996 if targets were not being reached. Every year the targets are exceeded and every year the managers ask for an extension, stating the numbers are unreliable or they don’t see the need to limit access. M em bers o f the audience were allowed to comment at the end o f the meeting. There was some support for the tribal pro posal, b u t m ost o f the com ments were pointedly against the permit system. There were nu m erous suggestions th a t the m anagers g ro u p sh o u ld do what’s right for the resource, but oddly enough the majority o f those who spoke out against a permit system have an economic stake in the matter.
