Pool tourney
The Central Oregon M en’s
Team 8-ball League Champion
ship for 2006 belongs to Bosses
Office No. 1, the team members
are all from Warm Springs.
A big congratulations goes
out to this dynamite team. Not
only did they place first in the
league but also in the Elimina
tion Tournament.
T his same team won first
p lace in 2005 m akin g them
back-to-back Champs.
T he league cham pionship
was won outright but the first
place elimination event wound
up a showdown.
The match stayed incredibly
tight in a race to 13. When the
score reached 12 to 11 Bosses
Office, Jerry Bagley was up and
he had no intention of allowing
the opposition to see anymore
daylight and sent them packing
after winning the crunch game.
Louis Smith topped it off for
good measure with an extra vic
tory.
It was a team effort with the
players shooting nearly flaw
lessly coming down the stretch.
The team players are: first, the
two younger rising stars, W illy
“The Stick” Bagley, who is the
Shot-Maker and most improved
along with Louie “Lionheart”
Smith, who is Mr. Consistent, a
ringer who wins tournaments
and/or is always in the money.
N ext is Em erson “C h ief”
Smith, a Top Gunner who can
shoot them down and is also the
Team C aptain and Strategic
Leader. Jerry “Bags” “The Sil
ver Coin” Bagley, the money
player. When the game is on the
line he’s the team Gunslinger.
Then there is Tony “The
F lam in g A rro w E x p re ss”
Litdeleaf, a player that remains,
The One to Beat. The team had
one roving sub Levi Van Pelt, a
very determined up and coming
player w ho m ay just be the
leagues Rookie of the Year.
O ther top finishing teams
were the second place City Slick
ers (Jack L ou’s) team . T hird
place was a tie between Moose
Lodge and VFW (Clint Smith)
team whose team players are
C lin t S m ith , B illy B egay,
Raymond Riddle, Tony Boise,
and Tony “Tiger” Van Pelt, a
well-deserved congratulations
go es o u t to them as w ell.

Global warming
The news says the tempera
ture is getting warmer, which is
causing the rapid melting o f the
p o lar ice caps and g la c ie rs
throughout the planet including
at Mt. Hood and the Cascade
A pril 13, 2 0 0 6
range. Some scientists are pre
d ictin g catastro p h ic c o n se
quences.
Results are severe drought,
floods, and extra forest fires, and
also an increase in species that
thrive in warm er weather like
mosquitoes, tree insects, carp,
and suckers, etc.
Some species may not sur
vive well in warm weather, for
instance the salmonoids, which
require excellent upstream habi
tat and frigid cool water.
M any people don’t under
stand the value o f old growth
trees and the intricate ecosystem
they support. Carbon dioxide is
one o f the m o st d am agin g
greenhouse gases. The trees are
crucially important because they
absorb a lot of carbon dioxide
and keep the earth cooler.
The deforestation o f Warm
Springs’ forest looks terrible
from Highway 26. The trees are
thinned and re-thinned. Clear
cuts also cause erosion, mud and
siltation.
Central Oregon may have the
nations most rapidly growing
population. How many biomass
power companies will be pop
ping up like the large 20-mega
watt Silvan Biomass Power Co.
out of Bend.
In this region the long-term
fight for hog fuel wood to burn
in the future may be fierce. Rav
aging the resources so a few can
prosper is a worldwide problem.
People everywhere need to do
more. Check out what’s happen
ing and realize what could hap
pen. Is global warming a false
alarm? Well let’s hope for the
b est. R esp ectfu lly, Tony
