Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Horse sale set at By Brian Mottenaen Spilyay Tymoo People who buy horses or need a good horse for their farms might be surprised how suitable horses from the Warm Springs Reservation might be. Warm Springs hosts its tltird horse sale on the reservation at the Warm Springs Rodeo Grounds June 18. "People from out of the area would find strong horses with heavy bones that will carry you all day long and then some," said Dclvis I Icath, Chief of the Warm Springs Tribe and a member of the committee arranging the sale. "They're better than mules." Most of the horses that will be up for sale will be ones that roam and graze right on reservation land that were once owned but now are free. Occasionally, bad studs have been culled out of the herds, and better ones kept, to ge netically improve them. Jacob F'rank, also a mem ber of the sale committee, said the horses are strong Lecture series The Celilo Salmon and Smoke series continues at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 2 with the presentation, The Log Springs Fire: Last Summer's Ashes, This Summer's Hope.

"They'll last you a while," he said. "They know the country, they grew up on the range. They know how to survive on their own. They're not raised in a stall."

Frank said the kind of horses sold in the June 18 sale "aren't going to get blue ribbons, but they're good work horses, good for roping and chasing and working cattle," said Frank. "They're not that big. A thousand-pounder would be one of the bigger horses out there." The aim of the sale on the reservation is to sell the horses for a better price than they might garner elsewhere. "A lot of wish ful thinking goes into it," Frank said. "We don't really have any thing set right yet. We can get a better price than we get at auc tion sales." Morses from the reservation are usually sold for nominal prices, or "killer prices," as fod der for a glue factory. "We hope to bring other than killer buyers," Frank said. "If we can bring in buyers who can take the horses home to break them, we can get a better price." Lawmakers (AP) - Police officers some times find food stamp cards under a variety of names when they raid houses that have been used to make methamphet amine. The ATM-like cards belong to meth users who trade them for the drug. Under a bill in the Legisla ture, parole officers and other legal supervisors would be able to cut off food stamp benefits for anyone suspected of using their food stamps as payment for drugs. Law enforcement officials say meth causes a whole range of problems - increased prop erty crime, increased child abuse and neglect, a strain on county prosecutors, overflowing jails, overextended police and in creased identity theft.

In terms of rangeland, the reservation is divided into six districts. Three contributed to last year's horse sale, Frank said, and he hoped tribal members with horses from other districts might also con tribute this year. "We'll try to work with horse owners," he said. "We'll work them and sec if there's anything they want to sell at the time." The horse sale at Warm Springs started two years ago, Frank said, from the idea that tribal members could sell their horses on the reserva tion and perhaps get better prices and not have to rely on sale prices at auction yards elsewhere. "I've worked horses most of my life, and I'm 70 years old," he said. "I'm familiar with sales and how they work My interest in right now is getting the best horses to ben efit owners of stock and (per haps increasing) what we get by putting on a sale on reservation." .'P.1: develop plan to target meth abuse Chief Walt Myers said the Leg islature needs to agree on a plan - and provide funding - to fight meth. "More officers, more jail fa cilities, there has to be more prosecutors. There has to be, and if that decision is not made, it will continue to worsen," Myers said. "There needs to be money applied to the problem," Myers said. But lawmakers have struggled this session to find cost-conscious ways to combat Oregon's growing meth problem. Working with Gov. Ted Kulongoski, who made meth a top priority, Sen. Ginny Burdick, D-Portland, and Rep. Wayne Krieger, R-Gold Beach, say there's an emerging consensus to spend as much as $20 million to: AUTOMOTIVE & TOWING "Done Right The First Time" a m m j l j i m j i J- - .T.ll I f What this means to you...

Columbia fisheries re-open for some species The Columbia River treaty tribes last week re-opened the Zone 6 platform and hook-and-line subsistence fishery for some species, Unfortunately, the harvest that was agreed upon for spring chinook has been reached, and this fishery remains closed, due to the low return. The updated spring chinook run size is 82,400 upriver spring chinook at the river mouth. At this run size, the tribal spring chinook fishery is managed to a seven percent harvest rate. The recent action by the treaty tribes is as follows: The platformhook and line fishery reopens for the retention of shad, walleye, carp and bass in all of Zone 6. In addition, re tention of steelhead is allowed News from High Lookee High Lookee Lodge, along with Carlson Farms, hosted the annual potato drive this month. Staff at the lodge passed out 100-pound bags of potatoes from 9 a.m.' till noon on May 4. A total of 3,000 pounds of potatoes were handed out. In other news from the lodge: Photo courtesy at Oliver Kir - Make it a crime to expose children, elderly or disabled per son to meth labs. - Provide funding for pro grams that allow addicts to com plete strict recovery programs instead of serve jail time in cer . tain circumstances, and to fund in-jail recovery programs for serious offenders. - Give parole officers and supervisors the authority to sus pend food stamp benefits for meth users if it is suspected they are using the cards as payment for drugs. One of the issues was how to protect children from parents' destructive drug habits - which often leads to abuse and neglect. The majority of child abuse cases in the Department of Human Services now involve meth.

Tribal Natural Resources enforcement officers this week investigated a case of trespass and offensive littering on a road off U.S. 26 near the northwest border of the reservation. Oliver Kirk and Stanley Simtustus of Natural Resources were at the scene Monday, to determine where the trash came from. Apparently, based on one item in the pile, someone from Clackamas County is responsible, said Kirk. something that's got all our hearts broken," said Senate President Peter Courtney, D Salem. Courtney said cases have included children living in meth houses and babies born to drug addicted mothers. "We can't end this session without making a heck of a run at that," Courtney said. The bills would create a crime of exposing children, eld erly or disabled people to meth. They would also clarify the court's ability to change custody agreements based on drug con victions. Both would help keep kids out of drug houses and away from parents who abuse meth. Krieger and Burdick also said treatment programs are an im portant aspect of the state's fight against meth.
