Stanley "Bear Tracks" Simtustus poses with a branch
antlered bull elk killed last week by a motor vehicle on
Highway 26. Natural Resource Branch employees used
the elk to teach summer youth workers how to skin and
care for the meat of big game animals. The meat was
placed in the Natural Resources freezer and the cape is
being mounted by a taxidermist for use as a conservation
education tool.

ments will be served, and there
will be live music.
Art Adventure Gallery is lo
cated on Fifth Street in down
town Madras.
The following is a statement
by Jeanie Smith regarding her
artwork:
The dialogue taking place
between humans and dogs can
confuse, humor, and delight
both species.
This I found to be true in my
search for the perfect dog com
panion. The selection process led to
a new awareness of how many
differences the breeds of dogs
have.
How do dogs react to hu
mans? How trainable are they?
What is their temperament and
are they visually pleasing or just
plain fun to watch?
To complicate matters, I plan
to have this new family mem
ber learn to be a therapy dog.
Choosing became a problem.
Painting them was a solution.
Their personalities begged to
be on canvas. So, along with the
search came The Art of the Dog.
Fascinated with the form, I
added the bright colors. In some
cases muted dog colors with
vivid backgrounds seemed
more appropriate. I don't do
prior color planning. The dog
portrait dictates the outcome.
Each painting or multi-media
piece has its own message, of-
Painting by Jeanie Smith
ten interpreted differently by
each observer.
Some images required differ
ent materials.
Dogs can be a piece of art
or your best friend.
In all cases, dogs are due re
spect and love and the ability to
live along side those who treat
them well.
The Art of the Dog is spiked
with bounce, bite and love. This
show is an art homage of the
four-legged hairy ones that give
the highly sought after uncon
ditional love.
Perhaps the beauty of a dog
lies in its artistic status in our
hearts.

Simnasho Mustangs continue winning season
By Tony "Bigrat" Suppah
Coach
We played in the Hillsboro
basketball tournament, held Au
gust 7-8. It was a very physical
and at times a tough tourna
ment. By the Mustangs winning
their division, they qualified for
the USSSA Hall of Fame 3-on-3
World Championships, to be
held at Parking Lot Q.at down
town Disney, just north of the
Cirque De Soleil and Home of
the Blues, within the Walt Disney
World Resort, Orlando, Fla. The
event will be hosted by Disney's
World of Sports, Sept. 3-6.
Our roster consisted of Cap
tain Rosey Twostarrs "Swoosh"
Suppah, Redsky Walker "Ice
man" Suppah, Turner "Solo"
Gill, Anthony "Snoop Dog"
Maldanado, and Bob Gill, who
helped by keeping score, and
due to a fight in another game,
had to finish reffing one game.
Thanks a lot, Bob.
We will be representing the
Rez and the West Coast teams.
There were seven good teams
in the brackets, and they all
made the playoffs on Sunday,
August 8.
Due to a car accident on
Highway 26, two of our play
ers got caught in the traffic jam.
So we almost went down in de
feat by forfeit, in our first game.
Thanks to the opposing coach,
she wanted to play. The ref sug
gested we use an extra player to
start the game, until the rest of
our team arrived. The oppos
ing coach said, I need to know
where our team's at, the only
way is to play the game. No for
feit, so the coach loaned us her
son. He tried his best, but we
fell behind and it was a very
physical game, from the start.
Finally Turner showed up
with four minutes left in the
game, being fresh and quick, he
helped us get the victory. An
thony got there when the game
was over. We were all present,
so we had to play three more
games on Saturday to make the
playoffs.
Our second game we won
very easily. Our third game
against the Portland Jayhawks
was very tough. They beat us
both offensively and defen
sively. We went down in defeat
20-12. Our fourth game we got
our composure back. The other
team was competitive, but we
came out victorious.
Tied with another team with
a 3-1 record, we had a better
point spread in our games, so
that gave us the number 2 seed
in the championship bracket,
which began at 10 a.m. Sunday.
Our first game was up for
grabs, a seesaw battle. The team
with the least turnovers would
win. It was a very tough, physi
cal game, no blood-no foul. We
played good team ball, holding
them off to win the game.
We played a lot of players
who played on different teams
in the state games tourney. In
our semi's we played one of our
rural teams, Oregon City. We
jumped out on them quick, not
giving them a chance to get their
game together. Winning and
moving into the championship,
we prepared to play the
Jayhawks again.
To our surprise they were
upset in overtime by another'
Portland team. They must have
played themselves out because
when we played them they
didn't play like they did in their
semi's. They played tough, but
we won very easily.
We complimented their team,
because they beat the team that
walked over us." A lot of teams
would like to be where they had
gotten, to the championship
game.
God bless you all.
