Cy Jim with a bighorn ram taken recently from the Lower Deschutes River
canyon. Jim received one of two off-reservation tags reserved exclusively
for tribal members. The ram, estimated to be 8-9 years of age, is only the
second taken by a Warm Springs resident in modern times.

Work has begun on a financial im
pact study that will determine just how
the reservation affects the school dis
trict, Superintendent Darrell Wright
reported to the Tribal Council. "We've
got the ball rolling," he told the Coun
cil. "The point is," he said, "we need
factual data so that perhaps we can
eliminate some of those opinions which
lead to misconceptions."
Wright said that nobody knows for
sure what the final outcome will be, but
that the figures will be "controversial
regardless" of what the committee
comes up. Elsewhere:
Over 600 people were in attendance
at the 1979 Northwest Indian' Educa- (
tion Conference, held in Spokane. The
theme of this year's conference was
"Education Is A Treaty Right."
And this news:
A native of India, Deepak R. Sehgal,
26, recently took on the newly-created
position of Water Master of the tribes.
At age 4, Sehgal moved with his
family from India to the suburbs of
Belfast, Northern Ireland, where he
lived for about 18 years. "It was get
ting pretty hot down there, pretty dan
gerous," Sehgal said, referring to the
conflict between Catholics and Protes
tants. Because Belfast was "just too
rough," he decided to go to the Uni
versity of Manchester in England
where he earned his engineering degree
in 1977. Elsewhere:
Temporary insanity hit Warm
Springs this Halloween, and tribal em
ployees took advantage of the oppor
tunity to let their inhibitions go.
Many more women than men
dressed for the occasion, leaving some
to believe that women are more often '
in work rles that don't allow the "real"
person to show through. Would you
want to be hired by a black cat? The
personnel department employees were
seen dressed in a variety of unusual
costumes.
Bear euthanized in Central Oregon
(AP) - Wildlife authorities in Cen
tral Oregon last week euthanized a
black bear that had taken to rummag
ing through residents' trash.
"Bears exhibiting this kind of be
havior - foraging through neighbor
hoods for trash and other kinds of food
- tend to repeat the behavior," said
Steven George, Deschutes district wild
life biologist for the Oregon Depart
ment of Fish and Wildlife. "And they
usually get more and more aggressive
over time."
George said the agency does not
relocate these "problem" bears because
they will either return to the area or
become a problem in another popu
lated place.
"Probably what happened with this
bear is, a stronger bear came and took
this one's territory," he said. "And so he
was here (in Tumalo) looking for a new
place to live."
The Oregon Department of Fish
and Wildlife estimates that 25,000
black bears currently live in Oregon.
Most of them avoid humans and live
alone, in territories of about 10 square
miles.
The Tumalo bear was captured
Wednesday night in a trap set less than
two days earlier. George said the ani
mal was lured by parts of a deer the
agency salvaged as roadkill.
Some residents said they had been
worried about the animal eventually
becoming a threat.
"I'm glad he's gone, but I'm also
sorry that it had to turn out this way,"
said Anna Andersen. But Tumalo resi
dent Doug Coats said he was upset
about the euthanization..
"What do you expect, if you stick
the garbage out?" he said. "To me, it's
not the bear's fault, it's the people's
fault." When a bear is first reported in
a residential area, the wildlife agency
first tries to educate residents on how
to prevent the bear from returning, ask
ing them to keep their trash, pet food
and other items likely to attract bears
inside their house or garage.

Agreement
to improve
Indian housing
For the first time, three fed
eral agencies have agreed to join
forces to address housing needs
of American Indians.
The three agencies are Hous
ing and Urban Development
(HUD), the Department of Ag
riculture and the Department of
the Interior.
The announcement of the co
operative agreement came from
HUD assistant secretary Michael
Liu at the recent conference of
the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest
Indians (ATNI) in Montana. Liu
heads the HUD Office of Public
and Indian Housing.
The three agencies agreed to
commit to work together to re
move barriers that make the
home-ownership process more
difficult in Indian Country.
Each agency will use its in
house processes and programs
to improve assistance to Ameri
can Indians to develop and op
erate affordable housing cm
trust or restricted lands and res
ervations. For example, the BIA is in the
process of implementing an au
tomated system that will expedite
title status reports (TSRs), which
is an important documentation
that lenders require before a fam
ily can obtain a home loan.
