Tribe discusses Law
Enforcement with County
The Tribal Council recently met with the Yamhill
County Sheriff Department to discuss law enforcement
on the Tribe's reservation. Since the reservation is a
precious resource to the Tribe, the Council expressed
concern about maximizing the protection for the
reservation.
The cost of hiring a full time police officer to patrol the
9,811 acre reservation would be prohibitive. The
Sheriffs Department told Tribal officials about the
Yamhill County Timbcrland owners Association which,
was formed about five years ago. This association was
formed by the private landowners who make an annual
contribution to Yamhill County, and a match is provided
annually by the County Board of Commissioners, for a
full time Deputy to exclusively patrol timber lands.
Each year fire season is something every land owner
dreads. If the Tribe were to have a major fire on the
reservation, it would be catastrophic to say the least.
On April 18lh, 1990, the Tribal Council elected to
authorize a payment of $2,000 to join the Yamhill
County Timbcrland owners association. For added
protection of a multi-million dollar resource, this would
be a small price to pay.

Softball Update
On May 13th, the Grand Ronde Tribal Softball team
traveled to Siletz to play their softball team in a pair of
non-League practice games.
In the first game, Grand Ronde started out with a 5
run lead after the first inning. Grand Ronde scored 2
runs the third inning while holding Siletz to 1 run. At the
end of the 7th inning, the final score was Grand Ronde
12 and Siletz 1.
In the nightcap, the Siletz team rallied in the 1st inning
to a 6 run lead, holding Grand Ronde scoreless until the
2nd inning when Doug Colton hit a triple that produced
a run making the score 6 to 1 Siletz. The Grand Ronde
outfield, made up of Lenny Logan, Doug Colton, PJ
Bobb and Jeff Larson were able to stop anything that
came their way. The infield was playing some tough
defense too. Greg Leno didn't let anything by third base.
Derek Olson, Mike Colton and Jimmy Bruckner made
several double plays to keep Siletz from scoring.
Mike Larson made several hot plays from the mound,
he was teamed with catcher Lee Yates.
The game remained 6 to 1 Siletz favor until the bottom
of the 7th inning when Grand Ronde was last to bat.
Jack Bailey started the 7th inning rally with one out.
Grand Ronde was able to score 6 runs in the 7th inning
to give Grand Ronde a 7 to 6 victory over Siletz.
We hope to see everyone who can make it to the games
when the West Valley Softball league starts the first
weekend in June on Sunday at the High School in
Willamina. Come down and support the team!
