Smoke si tina l?: Tribal Forester gets the Ax! by Cathy Cline, Editor After four and one-half years of hard work and dedication, Tribal Forester Cliff Adams gets the ax from the Tribal Council. An ax, he says, he "will always cherish." And why shouldn't he? It's gold plated! Having Adams give his annual update report for the Forestry Department at the February 2, general council meeting was the perfect camouflage for the Tribal Council to present him with the token of their apprecia tion for his years of hard work and commitment. "This comes as quite a surprise," Adams told the Council. "I want you to know I really appreciate this." It also came as a suprise for him to learn about his nomination, made by the Tribal Council, for an Intertribal Timber Council (ITC) Award. The ITC was established to create a network of tribal forestry lands across the United States and offers the Earle Wilcox Memorial NationalRegional Award only once a year to the top tribal forestermanager. In the letter submitting Adams' nomination, Tribal Chairman Mark Mercier wrote, "Cliff has been most conscientious in maximum utilization of forest manage ment, using state-of-the-art methods. Our Tribal Council is pleased with Cliffs dedication to his work." As an Oregon State University graduate of Forest Engineering, Adams said he is committed to his job because he finds certain aspects of it to be challenging. "I enjoy the responsibility of my job," he said. "The challenging part is bringing many elements of a large, complicated plan together." "My personal goal is to set up a really good forestry program for the tribe," Adams said. "To bring forth and upgrade the program so it will continue and last." . Adams is obviously on a mission and, with ax in hand, there is little to stop him. V 3 .-aV'i . " 4 4..
