Erie, Pa., is named after
the Eriez Indians. The loca-
tion played a key role in the
War of 1812, being the site of
the construction of the ship

British in the battle of Lake

location of the first lighthouse

Goals outlined for the

on. Subsequently, there are a
large number of our visiting
hunters who are hunting on
your land without your
permission. The fact that
they are trespassing is not
right. It is not fair to you to
have unauthorized people
abusing your hunting rights
or possibly damaging your
message of local landowners personally to the
body which will be establishing our game laws for
the 1980-81 season.
I’ve grown a little disillusioned with the P&W
Commission in recent years. Efforts to gain input
to the P&W Commission prior to their establishing
of game laws for the 1979 season were particularly
frustrating.
Largely urban-oriented and leaning more
toward the interests of South Texas deer raisers
than to the needs of Panhandle landowners and
the wildlife on the High Plains, the Commission
has been relatively unresponsive to any area north
of Austin in the past.
Wish I could be there this Friday to see the faces
of this body when a contingent from the Panhandle
“badlands" shows up to call for equal
consideration of the needs of ahother area, where
everybody in the state seems to think they have a
right to hunt our ringnecks, but about which the
Commission has seemed to care very little in the
past.
According to the propaganda put out by the
Commission over the past two or three years, we -
haven't received consideration because we -
haven’t had a delegation in Austin.
Well, this time out it will be time for the P&W
Commission to put up or shut up on game issues :
affecting the Panhandle.
And I'm sure there are a lot of county :
landowners who appreciate a couple of our -
commissioners taking the time to see that they are :
represented in Austin this time by home folks who
are aware of the sentiment of the area concerning :
the pheasant season.
These two matters and the actions taken by our .
county commission regarding them only go to
shew that a governing body can take a ♦
“heads-up” attitude concerning recreation and
wildlife issues and still maintain a practical, •
feet-on-the ground approach that avoids
“environmentalist” dives off the deep end.
The world is growing smaller and the demands
on our wildlife and recreation resources increase -
each day. I think a local governing body showing
that it does care about conserving our natural
resources sets a precedent that is to be
commended.

No major victories have been won at this point
on a couple of recreation and wildlife issues of
considerable interest to this area, but still, I think
a little reognition of accomplishment is due,
particularly when the accomplishment has
evidently set a new precedent here.
And one party due that recognition is the Deaf
Smith County Commissioner’s Court.
This governing body has taken an interest and ar
active part in the issues of retaining the Buffalo
Lake Wildlife Refuge for our area, and in
obtaining a pheasant season re-aligned with the
interests of local landowners and sportsmen.
The county commission was the first local
governing body to endorse efforts to retain Buffalo
Lake as an area vital to water conservation,
downstream flood protection, recreation and
wildlife.
And County Judge Glen Nelson and
commissioners Austin Rose, James Voyles, J.F.
Martin and Bruce Coleman all took time to attend
, the Parks & Wildlife Department's game
regulations hearing here In March, where they
each testified on behalf of county landowners
concerning the local pheasant season.
Going one step farther, Rose and Voyles will be
attending the Parks & Wildlife Commission’s
public hearing in Austin this Friday, to carry the

Just over a week remains before the
Department of Interior’s public information
meeting concerning the Buffalo Lake dam is held
in Canyon at the WTSU Science Building.
A panel made up of residents of Canyon,
Amarillo and Hereford will be carrying the local
word to Interior officials at that meeting.
If you have a point ybu would like to have made
at the meeting, or some idea concerning Buffalo
Lake, contact Marie Griffin or myself, so that we
can see that the point is included in the panel
presentation.
In addition, we need a strong local turnout for
the April 22 meeting, to be held in Room 101 of the
WT Science Building at 7 p.m.
A powerful public turnout, coupled with the
over 20,000 signatures on petitions calling for the
retention of the dam and the Buffalo Lake area
could go a long way toward maintaining the
momentum that has already caused DOI to think
twice about breaching the Buffalo Lake dam
