Fishing Legend Films Show with Choctaw Leaders Promoting an Anti-Substance Abuse Message Is One Thing That Choctaw Chief Gregory E BISHINIK PRSRT STD P.O. Drawer 1210 U.S. Postage Paid Durant OK 74702 Durant OK RETURN SERVICE REQUESTED Permit #187 THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE CHOCTAW NATION OF OKLAHOMA Serving 138,573 Choctaws Worldwide www.choctawnation.com August 2003 Issue Fishing legend films show with Choctaw leaders Promoting an anti-substance abuse message is one thing that Choctaw Chief Gregory E. Pyle and world-famous professional fisherman Jimmy Houston have in common. Another thing in com- mon is that they teamed up recently to film a fishing excursion for ESPN. While casting for the big bass in a Bryan County water- shed, the Chief and fishing legend Jimmy Houston talked nonstop, with topics ranging from “best lures” to moral and spiritual issues. Chief Pyle and Mr. Houston were joined by Assistant Chief Mike Bailey in the Bass Tracker, launching the boat shortly after day- light. As Chief Pyle reeled in the first catch of the day, the discus- sion turned to ways that people could be encouraged to “get hooked on fishing, not drugs.” This subject has been a hot topic with Jimmy Houston since news articles were printed this year about Jimmy Houston’s announcement that he refused to wear a Busch beer logo on his clothing and put the beer sponsor’s decal on his boat. This refusal means that the fishing legend has opted out of the running for BASS Angler of the Year, which he has won twice before. Houston was quoted in a Baptist Press article that he could not comply with endorsing the beer sponsor because of “ethical, moral and scriptural reasons.” When asked if he had prayed much about his decision, Houston said he hadn’t needed to pray about it at all – the decision had been made long ago not to be involved with spon- sorships from alcohol distributors. He said that he did not sell beer in his store, and he did not think it would be a good example to others to have a beer decal on his boat. “I admire the conviction of Jimmy Houston to be a living testi- mony against the use of alcohol and drugs,” said Chief Pyle. See HOUSTON on Page 3 HHS Deputy Secretary visits Choctaw tribal programs It was an historic occasion this week when U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Deputy Secretary Claude Allen visited with tribal leaders of sev- eral Oklahoma tribes, including the Choctaw Nation, Cherokee, Chickasaw, Absentee Shawnee, Citizen Potawatomi and Sac and Fox Nations.
