After an adventure that in
cluded rafting 70 miles and hav
ing their raft puncture and de
flate underneath them, brothers
Albert and Joel Santos found
what they were looking for - a
bighorn sheep for Albert.
Albert, of Portland, bagged
an 8-year-old ram on the west
side of the John Day River Nov.
Joel took a 7-year-old ram
from the Deschutes River can-
air, the rapid would have caused
the Santos brothers to flip over.
They stopped to patch the
raft, using a propane torch to
heat the patching glue.
"By then, we weren't caring
about sheep," he said.
The third day was consider
ably more successful, as, Joel
Santos said, they had found big
horns. Most were off-limits be
cause they were either on pri
vate land or land east of the

raft in; at Clarno and floated ; found .three sheep that were
about 50 miles north before
they even saw any bighorns. On
the second day, they had been
delayed because the raft punc
tured going over a rapid on the
shallow river just 20 miles into
the journey.
"The water was only about a
foot deep," Joel Santos said.
He said riding the deflated
raft helped because, had it had
, available to them.
They spotted the biggest of
the three high above the river.
They were on the bottom of a
canyon, and the sheep were at
the top.
"I ranged it about 500 yards,
and I thought it was too far,"
Joel Santos said.
Albert Santos, using a 7MM
Ultramag, took a shot anyway
and hit the ram on the shoul
der. Two more shots brought the
animal down.
Joel Santos said the brothers
had seen 12 rams on their foray.
The Santos brothers rowed
to their takeout at Cottonwood,
40 miles from the mouth of the
Columbia.
The tag was for a special big
horn sheep hunted allocated to
members of the Confederated
Tribes of Warm Springs,
i ' Only one fag was issued each
i for thebhn Day 'ahd'Dds'chuVe's '
river sections, which was' de
cided by lottery. ' ' '""
Santos said only three people
had applied for the tag on the
John Day River, including an
other brother, their father and
a third person.

Program helps lower
winter heating bills
Help with winter power bills
is available for low-income
families, through the Low In
come Home Energy Assistance
Program (LIHEAP).
The program is federally
funded. This is not an entitle
ment program and instead pro
vides assistance for households
affected by costs of home en
ergy excessive to their home.
The program this year is the
same as last year, and provides
a one-time payment during each
heating season. The program
helps but does not pay all the
home's heating costs.
Any household whose income
is at or below 60 percent of the
statewide median income for
Oregon is eligible.
. Both homeowners and rent
ers are eligible.
Tribal Social Services will
process applications for assis
tance from low-income house
holds. The amount of assistance a
household receives is deter
mined by several factors, includ
ing household income, house
hold size, and the climatic re
gion of the state where the
household is located.
Tribal Social Services will
begin taking applications for as
sistance no later than Dec. 1.
Call Odessa Jones-Anderson,
energy assistance coordinator, at
553-3491 for information.
