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.

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.

prior to trial; failure to do so
will not be considered suffi

I f you fail to appear as so

2002. 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.
