Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Thank you To the Warm Springs com i munity, We are writing to you to day as the Native Class of 2003. Native Class 2003 is a group of high school se niors who attended Senior Grad Nite at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. The trip was June 2-9. This program is in its fourth year of existence as an incentive program founded by concerned citi zens of Warm Springs. This program offers a senior trip to those students who re ceive their high school diplo mas. This program has been a big success. For making this program a success, we, the Native Class of 2003, would like to thank the community of Warm Springs, the Confed erated Tribes of Warm Springs, Warm Springs Power Enterprises, Warm Springs Forest Products In dustries, Composite Prod ucts, Kah-Nee-Ta High Desert Resort and Casino, the Warm Springs Market and the Three Warriors Market, Austin Smith and Lois Squiemphen for the Permits: question is (Continued from page 1) They say guides will to be able to do business much as they have in the past. New guides will be allowed to enter the field, and all guides will prosper or fail based on the public demand for their services and their ability to compete in an open market. The permit system will not make or break a guide's business. Since 1988, when the Deschutes planning process was initiated, managers have struggled with the issue of regu lating boater use. One long standing goal has been to reduce the extremely high number of boaters on the river during peak use periods. The management plan strives to achieve this goal through the use of non-permit measures. Emphasis was supposed to be Feeling There are those days when all you want to do is lay down and die, when it seems like the whole world is falling in on you and you can't hold it up anymore - those days when everything is upside down and you can't take it anymore. There are days when all you want to do is go and lay in your own bed under the sheet where nothing can bother you, go to a place that feels safe and relaxed, where you can just chill, let all the pressure blow away in the sound of your favorite music. I don't have any of those days out here, at Colorado University's Upward Bound pro gram, where I'm spending the first half of the summer. This is the perfect place for me. I like to get up and do things, try new things and get jobs done. I get all of those opportuni ties with Upward Bound. Most of my time goes to schoolwork, which is okay since most of the classes I take are fun. But there is always that little bit of down time, when I can hang out with friends. It doesn't matter if we're eat ing at the cafeteria or sitting in the lobby, the best thing about being here is the sense of free dom and independence we all share. In Oregon when I get done with athletics or school or what ever is taking up the day, I know I'll soon be walking into a small Springs, Oregon from the Native Class sloes'- 19,) :---'::.jvCXP The Native Class of 2003 recently went to Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif.

From the Native Class with the meetings and Without the hard work and of 2003 placed on non-permit measures for the first three years. If boater numbers did not fall within target levels at the end of three years, the permit sys tem was supposed to be imple mented. If and when the per mit system was brought into play, managers would have to determine how permits should be allocated. ; . , The multi-agency planning team, with representatives from public and private boating inter ests, set out to create a permit allocation system specifically designed to meet unique needs and conditions existing on the Lower Deschutes River. As a result, an evaluation of "split allocation systems" was conducted by the BLM and a report was published in March of 1996. A split allocation sys tem reserves a percentage of at home gray and brown compartment that shelters us from the out side world. I will have to walk through the peach colored frame that surrounds our door and into the big arrangement of boards and nails and possessions I call home. I will soon be sitting in mv room thinking about what I want to Carina do next, wishing I was doing something. Just lying there on my bed wishing the hours away. Thinking about school the next day, practice or a game, youth group, anything that will take up my time. Thinking about anything that allows me to interact with other people. Out here in Colorado we spend entire days interacting with other people. I can't be anywhere without someone else . . be ne with me. I love it. When 1 first arrived at Upward Bound it was the beginning of summer and I felt home sick. Then, af ter a couple of days and laughs, it started to feel like home. I stopped thinking about what I was going to do at Madras I ligh and started thinking about Up ward Bound. The thing I like about being here is that I'm surrounded by other people, people who want to go places and do things. When I'm sitting in my room wishing, I only wish seconds ty... . )' i IS I : July 0 one of allocation "It's time to move for ward with the agree- ments we all made together. " Bobby Brunoe available permits for commer cial guides based on historic, as well as expected, use patterns. In January 1995, Oregon Parks and Recreation Depart ment, through a contract with EDAW, a private consulting firm, evaluated common pool allocation systems. They produced a report cn titled "Reservation Systems for Boating on the Lower Deschutes River." The conclu sions from that report indicated a common pool allocation sys tem requiring all boaters to ob tain permits in the same way in Colorado away and then look at the clock and remember that I have something to do. If I don't have anything to do around here, I just walk down to the lobby and find someone to hang out with or walk across the hall, knock on a door and ask "what are you doing right now?" No waiting for the next day, no Miller scheming to go over to a friend's house, because I'm al ready there. Being here for only a month and a half takes away the pres sure of putting on a show. When I'm at Madras High everyone is so caught up in their life I could be standing in the middle of the hall yelling and scream ing and no one would hear. But here, if I whisper a thought of unhappiness, everyone will hear i i me ana be mere tor me. The fact that this program only lasts a month and a half takes away all of the stress of trying to create an image. At home you do one stupid thing and everyone remembers. Out here I can drop my trey and have all the plates break and make a whole bunch of noise and cause a scene and everyone will forget the next day. I could be climbing a tree for no rea son at all, fall out and land on my back, laugh it off and never hear about it again... okay, 24, 2003 of 2003 i 0 treats all members of the pub lic equally and does not create a private property value for ac cess to a public resource." The report also concluded that split allocation systems pro vide an advantage to commer cial guides because "guided boaters do not have to compete for permits." Conclusions in these analyses were used by the managing agencies to develop an agreed upon common pool allocation system tailored to the unique characteristics of the Lower Deschutes and designed to en sure commercial guide opera tions were protected. "It's time to move forward with the agreements we all made together," said Brunoe. "Unfor tunately, we'll have to use the federal court to help us imple ment the plan." maybe a couple of times but nothing too bad. I could rip my pants at a dance and my friends would help me conceal my secret. I could trip over my own feet at the beginning of the powder puff football game and it would seem like no one in the crowd even saw me. Being out here with all these caring people helps me be my self. They are there for me when I need them and I am here for them when they need me. When one of us is hurt we are all hurt. When something bad happens to one person everyone feels threatened. The reason it is so great is because everyone is comfort able with everyone else. When my day is over and I feel worn out, I walk through the stone arch leading to my dorm that has the small sign reading "Baker Hall" and I trip over the same exact crack in the ground every time. I walk past the big black door that seems so heavy and look over at the familiar phone in the hallway, the one we use for mak ing prank calls. When I get to my room and the door says "Marion Hunt and Spud Miller," I feel at home. And when I'm with my cohorts 1 feci like I am with my family, people 1 care about a lot. People who care about me. Jr Birthday Happy third birthday on July 21 to my baby girl Dyrrel Devere. Love, mom.

Mystic, "a sweet horse that sometimes does good and sometimes does bad," is going to retire. The horse's daughter, Baby, will take her place. Miller has high hopes for next year's 4-H competi tion with Baby. Perhaps next year Miller will do more than whisper in Baby's ear and give her a pat before she goes in the show manship ring. Maybe she'll give her a kiss on the nose. Chaz Mitchell, Wapus necklace, Ramona Starr. Delbert Garcia, beaded key chain, Donna Torres. Starr Herbert, basket necklace, Ramona Starr.
