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

(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.

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

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

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

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.

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

sions from that report indicated
a common pool allocation sys

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

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

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

my back, laugh it off and never

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.

There's equipment to
think about: saddle, bridle,
reins and hoof picks are just
part of the program. The
clothing will include jeans,
boots and, depending on the
heat, a long-sleeved or t-shirt.
And don't forget the helmet.
Safety is important.
Then there's the horse.
Miller recommends a calm,
gentle and easy horse for
beginners. It's important to
have something that isn't dif
ficult to climb on, like an
older Shetland Pony.

Next year, Miller plans on
graduating to a new horse for
the 4H competition.
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.
