2. Qualifications for office, withone proposed amendment;

3. Salaries, with one proposedamendment; and,

4. Meetings and procedure, withtwo proposed amendments.

Diabetes is a main healthconcerns on the reservation.Hundreds of tribal membersare dealing with the disease, andmany are focused on prevent-ing diabetes. The Indian HealthService and the tribes are help-ing in the fight, with the Diabe-tes Program and Diabetes Pre-vention.

“We all believe in these pro-grams,” said Montell Elliott,Prevention coordinator, who isalso the interim Diabetes Pro-gram director.

“I had pre-diabetes, and I’vebeen able to prevent it,”Montell was saying recently.Others on the staff have gonethrough the programs as well,and are now working to helpothers.

Some of the staff arelifestyle coaches, working oneon one with the clients. Some

people have been in the Pre-vention program for manyyears, and have avoided the dis-ease.

Exercise is a big part of thesolution, Montell says. A studyhas shown that exercise is moreeffective than medication in pre-venting diabetes.

Walking is the usual place tostart with exercise. “We usu-ally start out with 150 minutesof walking per week,” Montellsays.

Montell is an Alaska Na-tive—Haida Tlingit. She hasbeen with the tribes for 23 yearsnow.

Mill closure dueto rainy weather

The Warm Springs Forest Prod-ucts Industries mill had to shutdown this month. The problem wasa log inventory shortage, becauserainy weather had made the loggingroads impassable.

The closure was expected to beabout three weeks, said John KatchiaJr., mill director. The mill manage-ment and board met with TribalCouncil last week to update theCouncil on the closure.

The discussion also turned to thelong-term viability of the mill, andits plan of operation. The goal hasbeen to make the mill at least abreak-even enterprise.

One way to help achieve this goalwould be to pay off the debt themill owes to its log selling partner.This would allow the mill to ask forbids from other potential sellingpartners, mill board member BenBrisland said.

Because of the debt to the com-pany, the mill is required to keep acertain amount of log inventory onthe premises. This was also a con-

tributing factor that led to the re-cent shut-down, John Katchia said.

The mill is making payments tothe tribes in order to make up formissed payments from last year.One way to pay off the debt to thelog selling company would be tosuspend the back payments to thetribes, board and management said.

Instead, payments would go tothe company, and the debt could bepaid off this year, they said.

The situation at the mill has re-percussions through the organiza-tion. Part of the mill debt, for in-stance, is to the Credit enterprise,and some is from the tribes in theform of a Business InvestmentRevolving Fund (BIRF) loan.

Importantly, the WSFPI pay-ments to the tribes help fund theSenior Pension Fund. The WSFPIpayments are from a trust asset, thetimber. So the pension paymentsto the seniors are not taxed.

The Pension Fund could be re-plenished with non-trust tribal funds.

Greenhouse site topic of discussion

Conceptual drawing of greenhouse.Courtesy of Ventures

The Tribal Land-UseCommittee and WarmSprings Ventures met withcommunity members lastweek in regard to the loca-tion of the cannabis green-house.

The preferred site is in theLower Dry Creek area, pastthe landfill on the way to thewater treatment plant. Thesiting process involves anevaluation by the Natural Re-sources Branch, based on theIntegrated Resource Man-agement Plan (IRMP).

The IRMP process began

last week, and could take an-other week. The Land-UseCommittee will review theproposal, and then make a

recommendation to TribalCouncil. A number of factorsmake the Lower Dry Creeksite the preferred site by Ven-

tures. For instance, the siteis located away from resi-dences, the nearest beingabout a mile and a half away.

The Warm SpringsTERO office, and theWorkforce Innovationand Opportunity Act pro-grams, are planning acareer fair: The fair isset for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.on Friday, April 1 at theCommunity Center.

Tribes look todedicate Red Hills

The ConfederatedTribes last year acquiredthe Red Hills conservationproperty. The 278 acresare located in YamhillCounty, in the WillametteValley.

The tribes acquired theland through the BPAmitigation program. TheCulture and HeritageCommittee would like tohelp in hosting a dedica-tion event for the property,said Lepha Marie Smith,committee chair.

The idea is to take abus to the property forthe celebration, she said.The site is a usual and ac-customed place of thetribes.

The tribes manage theRed Hills property forfish and wildlife. Themanagement plan couldinclude some hunting op-portunities for tribalmembers, said ClayPenhollow, of the Branchof Natural Resources.

A Pet Clinic is coming up this weekend. Therewill be pet shots for $15; licenses for $5; andspay and neuter vouchers. The Pet Clinis will beon Saturday, March 19, from 2 to 4 p.m., at theold ambulance bay across from the post office.The transactions are cash only.

The dog control ordinanceof the Confederated Tribesdates back to 1962. Tribalsanitarian Nancy Collins hasbeen working on an updatedordinance.

She has presented thedraft to the Justice and other

Proposed update to dog control ordinancetribal committees, and tocommunity members.

The intent of proposedupdate is to hold dog ownersresponsible for the animals,Nancy said. This would helpreduce the rate of dog biteson the reservation, which is

higher than average. Thechanges would also be morehumane for the animals.

After public comment,the proposal will be pre-sented to Tribal Council.For information call 541-553-4943.

The BIA has been working to find additional fund-ing for law enforcement on the reservation.

BIA Warm Springs Agency Superintendent JohnHalliday said he has been meeting with agency Re-gional Director Stan Speaks, and tribal Public Safetydirector Stan Suenaga on the matter.

Mr. Halliday updated Tribal Council on progressof this project last week. The BIA has funds setaside specifically for reservation law enforcement,he said.

Part of the additional BIA funding for WarmSprings would go to Corrections, and part to the po-lice.

Law enforcement positions on the reservation havenot received a salary increase for 10 years, Mr.Halliday said.

The pay rate for tribal law enforcement is belowthat of neighboring areas, such as Jefferson andCrook counties.

This leads to the problem of an officer startinghis or her career on the reservation, going throughtraining and gaining experience, and then taking a joboff the reservation. In the long-term, this ends upcosting more, because of higher turnover.

The planned additional BIA funding would notimpact the tribal general fund.

Tribal Council hasopened the smelt fishingfor the Sandy River, asrecommended by theBranch of Natural Re-sources Fisheries Depart-ment.

March is expected tobe the best harvestmonth on the Sandy. Thefishery is open to tribalmembers from 6 a.m. to6 p.m., seven days a week.

Fishing will continueuntil the harvest reaches5,500 or until the runends.

The smelt fishing sea-son earlier this year on theCowlitz was a success,said Brad Houslet, BNR

Fisheries Department man-ager.

At the Cowlitz tribal mem-bers harvested about 2,000pounds of the smelt, or Pa-cific eulachon.

Natural Resources staffgave some of the Cowlitzsmelt to tribal elders, Housletsaid. Some other provisionsin the Sandy smelt resolution:

Gear for the harvest is lim-ited to dipnets. The Branchof Natural Resources is re-sponsible for the biologicalmonitoring of the fishery.

Pursuant to tribal law, tribalmember fishers shall uponrequest allow authorized fed-eral, state or tribal officers toinspect the catch.

A tribal member mustcarry an enrollment card atall times while fishing or trans-porting the fish. The mem-ber must produce the cardupon by state or tribal en-forcement officers. Any per-son who produces the tribalenrollment card is not re-quired to produce a state fish-ing license.

Tribal members must re-port catch to Natural Re-sources on-site at fishery lo-cations. Those not reportingon-site are to report the har-vest within 24 hours at theBranch of Natural Resourcesoffice in Warm Springs.

This is a subsistence fish-ery. There is no harvest limit

per individual within thetribal allocation of 5,500pounds.

Subsistence fishingmeans the taking of fishby members is for per-sonal use. This includesthe sale or exchange withother treaty Indians fortheir personal use. Nosales or trades are allowedwith non-Indians.

Commercial fish salesare not allowed. The useof alcohol or drugs is pro-hibited when fishing un-der treaty rights.

Penalties for violationsare strictly enforced toensure compliance withall rules and regulations.

“The proposedchange would removedistricts; Council to bechosen from members atlarge; and Chiefs wouldnot be members ofCouncil.”

(Continued from page 1)But the payments

would then be subject totax. And this could also re-quire a reduction in thetribal operation budget,possibly costing jobswithin the organization.

About 60 tribal mem-bers work at the mill.Tribal Council, the millboard and management,and the BIA have beenworking for some timenow on a fix for the mill.

The hope is to keep thejobs in the community,but the situation is com-plicated. The BIA, for in-stance, could issue a ceaseand desist order on themill operation, if thetribes are not receivingfair market value for thetimber.

An alternative wouldbe for the Tribal Councilto agree in writing that the

tribes are knowingly pro-viding the timber toWSFPI at a value less thanthe fair market.

Another alternativewould be for the tribes tosell the logs on the openmarket. This would ap-parently bring in less rev-enue than the mill opera-tion, according to an analy-sis by WSFPI.

Brisland, who works atWarm Springs Ventures,also made an interestingsuggestion at the Councilmeeting last week.

If the mill remains vi-able at least for the nextfew years, then there maybe the possibility of com-bining the operation witha hemp production enter-prise.

Hemp production hasbeen mentioned as an ad-dition to the tribal cannabisgrowing operation.

The Confederated Tribesand the Education Commit-tee hosted a visit last weekwith officials from the Or-egon Department of Educa-tion.

The meeting saw a goodturn-out of parents and othercommunity members. Thiswas a chance for them toshare thoughts on how to im-prove education services totribal members in JeffersonCounty.

The information will helpthe state in implementing theOregon American IndianEducation Plan.

The conversation focusedon the education strengths,needs and priorities.

Some of the strengthsidentified included extendedfamily support system pluscultural knowledge, Nativelanguage and history.

The meeting was part ofthe community discussion onchanges to help more stu-dents stay in school, get agood education, and pursuetheir interests after theygraduate.

Meanwhile, the EducationCommittee, Tribal Counciland the board of the 509-Jschool district are workingtoward a new long-term edu-cation agreement.

The Council and commit-tee hope to have this com-plete by the end of the termof the Twenty-Sixth TribalCouncil.

Our tomorrowsOur beloved Creator has

opened the door to bettertomorrows. In all the turmoilthis last term, the peoplewere kept hostage and tor-mented all due to leadershippride of a few.

We, as a tribe, need to seeand expect better tomor-rows. This election is so im-portant, when you cast yourvote to the new Council, orfor the secretarial ballot forthe constitutional amend-ments, remember and beaware of the power andstrength of that vote and themulti-generational impact ithas.

Remember the hopes anddreams our past elders hadfor us, today and theirdreams of better tomorrows.

Let us learn from the last30 years of voting for peoplebased on blood, educa-tion, popularity, and beingfooled by someone whomade you feel important un-til they got your vote and youbecame a stranger again.

Let us learn from allthose travel checks that tookfood away from our eldersand children, and tookaway jobs from families whostruggle with poverty.

Let us learn from politicsand how politics has no placein our tribal nation—it’s apoison like that of a rattlesnake and it slithers amongstour people through gossipand manipulation that causessuch an imbalance that thebad keep getting away withthe bad.

Our way of life, our obli-gation to our beloved Creatorand to our peoples canchange the scope of our fu-ture.

Our young people, youhave amazed me in your vot-ing strength to bring our con-stitution to be updated. Youare our voting majority, youare now the spine of ourpeople. You are the hopesand dreams of our elderslong gone. That is how ourCreator intended and howbeautiful that is.

The path to create a lead-ership that works in har-mony is the key to bettertomorrows. The right de-meanor and spiritual focus iscritical. If we vote in peoplewho are selfish, self-centered,and spoiled we will continueon this destructive path.

If we vote in more peoplelike our chairman and ourvice-chair, we will witnesssuch a burst of growth, wewill be set on a more hopefulpath. It will take time be-cause it took 30 years to cre-ate this mess, but keep faith,there will be better tomor-

One day, our Creatorwill have enough of the evilof politics and a new genera-tion will be born who will getus back on course.”

I see that today, and I prayour young people will em-brace the responsibility placedupon them by our belovedCreator.

My name is LindaMeanus. I am an elderand tribal member of theConfederated Tribes ofthe Warm Springs.

Two of the main rea-sons I moved to Portlandwere for cancer treat-ment, and I was alsosearching for opportuni-ties to further my educa-tion.

Since coming to Port-land State University, Ihave been working to-wards earning my Bach-elor of Arts in LiberalArts. My minor is in Na-tive American Studies,also under the new nameof Indigenous NationsStudies.

I will graduate inSpring 2016. Beforecoming to Portland StateI attended Bacone JuniorCollege in Muskogee,Oklahoma.

Then in 1970 I earneda Secretarial Certificate inOffice Procedures in SanJose, Calif.

After moving toWarm Springs I beganwork at the tribalprosecutor’s office, andwas also employed withWorkforce.

I realized I wanted toincrease my earnings, andin 1998 I moved to Bendto attend Central OregonCommunity College tolearn computer skills.

After working as anoffice manager there, Ilearned even more ad-ministrative skills andQuickBooks from HealdCollege Business Admin-

istration School, where Igraduated with an Associate’sDegree in Business Adminis-tration in 2010.

From that point I waseven more motivated to fur-ther my education. I hadenough credits to transfer toPortland State University andwas accepted!

As a first generation stu-dent I am grateful to TRIO,and my advisors Rosalyn Tay-lor and others who havegreatly supported and guidedme. They gave me the confi-dence to go through this jour-ney.

They have helped me findopportunities for attendingthe classes I needed to meetmy goals, and to get where I

am today. I could nothave done it without allof these wonderfulpeople helping me along.

I am very excited,and look forward tograduation so I can be-gin using all of theseexperiences and newskills on my pathway tosuccess.

I am deeply grateful,appreciative and thank-ful to TRIO for alwaysbeing available and en-couraging me to con-tinue and successfullymeet my educational,professional and per-sonal goals.

Thank you so much.Linda Meanus

For the kidsTo all my tribal members inthe Warm Springs commu-nity,

A recent phone conversa-tion with my son caught myattention by surprise when heexplained to me that heneeded to be picked up fromhis skateboarding session justto go to the restroom. WhenI asked if there wererestrooms at the skate park,he stated there were but theywere unavailable for use. Toput it in his exact words, hereferred to them as “rez bath-rooms.” It was not a positiveresponse to say the least.

It makes me really said tohear that something as simpleas an available toilet is out ofthe reach to those practicinga positive and healthy hobby/sport such as skateboarding.

I sat down with two otherWarm Springs tribal mem-bers (Mattie Spino and KathyDanzuka) to brainstormideas to throw out there aboutthis simple problem. Mattiebrought up the vandalism is-sue, which brings out the firstidea of utilizing the tribal in-mates to tent to thoserestrooms on a weekly basis.

Kathy thought of the ideathat this could be a commu-nity service project. I myselfwas wondering who is directlyin charge of those restrooms,and if there is a budget issue.Is there money that could beraised to fix this?

As incarcerated parents,

we see things from a differ-ent perspective. There is ex-treme importance to havinghealthy and positive activitywidely available to our chil-dren. We need to focus onthese little things that helpmagnify the important thingssuch as having fun in a com-fortable and healthy way. Weneed to encourage having funthat does not include drugsor alcohol.

Sincerely, Susee Davis,Kathy Danzuka and MattieSpino.

Two people who participated inthe armed takeover at the MalheurNational Wildlife Refuge in Oregonwere charged for damaging a sitesacred to the Burns Paiute Tribe.

Sean Anderson and a secondperson are accused of causing morethan $1,000 in damage to the ar-chaeological site. The charges ap-parently stem from a road and la-trines that were dug in and near thesite. Federal investigators said hu-man waste was found in at least oneof the latrines.

The identity of the second per-son is redacted in the version ofthe indictment that was unsealed lastweek.

In total, 26 people are facingcharges in connection with the 41-day occupation of the refuge. The

defendants include Eric Lee Flores,a 22-year-old member of the TulalipTribes, who reportedly went backand forth between the refuge andhis reservation in early January, whenthe incident began.

Flores is not specifically accusedof damaging archaeological sites,according to the superseding indict-ment. But he’s facing other chargesfor allegedly threatening federal of-ficers and employees and possess-ing a firearm within a federal facil-ity.

The land in and around the ref-uge was initially set aside as a reser-vation for the Burns Paiute Tribein the late 1800s but the federalgovernment took 1.78 million acresfrom the Northern Paiute peopleand forced them to march to reser-

vations in neighboring Washington.After the Paiutes were allowed

to return, they were placed on amuch-smaller reservation inpresent-day Burns, about 30 milesfrom the refuge. The tribe repeat-edly called for the anti-governmentprotesters to leave their ancestralterritory and has been concernedabout damage to sacred sites andartifacts.

“I’m glad they cleaned up allthose urinals they made,” BurnsPaiute Tribal Council member JarvisKennedy said.

“They went in with Hazmat suitson and got all of that out of thereand covered it up. When I first sawit kind of made me mad. That’s ourburial ground area.”'

The team presented Arthur Mitchell with the winning check in the 50/50 raffle. Theraffle helped with some of the expenses for the trip to the state tournament.

Oscar Hammerstein gave ussome lovely lyrics. Here is one thatI have adapted for both individualsand businesses.

The original goes a bit like this:

A Bell is not a Bell until you ringit—A song is not a Song until yousing it.

Love in your heart wasn’t putthere to stay—Love isn’t Love untilyou give it away.

Here are the “new” last two lines,with apology to Mr. Hammerstein.

For individuals:

Putting business to music

Cash in your paycheck isn’t putthere to stay—But cash in your pay-check shouldn’t be frittered away.

Savings in your bank isn’t putthere to stay—But savings in yourbank shouldn’t be frittered away.

For Businesses:Money in the cash register isn’t

put there to stay—But money in thecash r egister shouldn’t be fritter edaway.

Cash and Retained Earnings onthe books isn’t shown there to stay—But ca sh and r e t a in ed ea r n in g sshouldn’t be frittered away.

Good luck and remember, “I canand I will,” and “Pennies make dol-lars.”

Health: report documents diabetes among members(Continued from page 1)

Diabetes remains a lead-ing cause of death on thereservation. In the most re-cent year for which data isavailable (2014), the numberof deaths from diabetes wasestimated at close to 100.This number was the same asfor accidents and cirrhosis.

The incidence of deathfrom diabetes was trendingdownward in the recent years,from a high of more than140 in 2009. In that year dia-betes was the leading causeof death among tribal mem-bers on the reservation, ac-cording to the report.

“The majority of patientswith diabetes died from re-lated heart disease and kid-ney failure,” the report says.“This remains an area thatneeds emphasis for our localpopulation.”

The report says: “Diabe-tes can be combated throughhealthier diets, increasedphysical activity, and reduc-ing the number of over-weight and obese people inour community.”

Patients of the reservationwho are identified with thechronic disease of diabetesincreased from 600 in 2011to 627 in the year 2014. Iden-tifying people who have thedisease, or who have pre-dia-betes, is critical:

“Detection of diabetesand control of blood glucoselevels are essential to manag-

ing the progression of thedisease, and delaying or pre-venting the resulting damageto the health of the indi-vidual.”

And most importantly:“Monitoring this group ofpatients, counseling and edu-cational efforts can have agreat impact on the healthstatus of the patient, and thefuture health care costs ofcaring for patients with dia-betes.”

There has been an in-creased focus on diabetestreatment at the clinic, asdocumented in the JointHealth Commission annual

report on the Diabetes Pro-gram services.

The report shows the num-ber of total Diabetes Pro-gram patient visits increaseddramatically from the years2011 to 2014.

In the year 2011, therewere a total of 3,963 Diabe-tes Program visits. This in-creased steadily over the fol-lowing three years, to 7,337visits in the year 2014.

The increase is due mainlyto “clinician clinical visits,”which went from 1,931 in2011 to 5,254 in the year2014.

The Diabetes Program

was fully staffed during 2014,the report says. The staff in-cluded the Program Coordi-nator, Nurse Practitioner,RN, Certified Diabetes Edu-cator and Administrative As-sistant.

There were major aware-ness events during the yearas well, including the Diabe-tes Awareness Day Confer-ence, the Heath Smart Din-ner, Honor Seniors Day, thePi-Ume-Sha Health Fair, Se-nior Center Diabetes SupportGroup dinners, the YouthSupport Group, the FoodDemo and Support Group,and the Culture Camp.

chiefs would be eliminated.Chiefs could be nominated

for Council and, if elected,would serve as one of thenine members of TribalCouncil.

The voting for all electedTribal Council seats wouldchange from once everythree years, as is the currentprocess. Instead, once imple-mented, the Council wouldsee three new memberselected each year, as threeterms would expire each year.

Under the proposedamendments, the Councilmembers would be elected bythe membership at large,rather than by district.

The eligible tribal membervoting age would go from 21to 18.

The Tribal Council election

date would be announced 90days instead of 30 days priorto the expiration of mem-bers’ term of office.

Also regarding the Coun-cil:

“The Tribal Council mem-bers shall receive as compen-sation for their services asfollows: Chairperson $80,000;Vice-Chairperson $70,000; allother members $60,000, andmileage from home to placeof meeting and return at arate used by the federal gov-ernment. Expenses shall bepaid from available tribal bud-geted funds. Benefit pro-grams and reimbursementexpenses will follow tribal or-ganization polices as bud-geted... ”

Additional changes are pro-posed to redefine the Consti-

tutional process for:Vacancies and removal

from office; impeachment,recall, and selection of offic-ers.

By-laws changes being pro-posed include:

Adjustment to the languagefor qualifications of office forTribal Council members.

The fact that the lampreyhave been found above theformer dam location signalsan important step forward inhabitat restoration, lampreyconservation and partnershipin the Columbia River Basin,officials with the YakamaNation and the U.S. Fish andWildlife Service said.

“This is a good day,” saidPatrick Luke, Yakama NationTribal Councilman.

“We are recognizing asum(lamprey) making theirmighty return to Mitula Wana(White Salmon).”

Sometimes referred to asthe forgotten fish, Pacific lam-prey are a traditional foodsource for the Native people,as well as a wide variety ofwildlife species.

They spend their earlyyears nestled in creek bedsbefore transforming intoparasitic adults that migrateto the ocean to feed for yearsbefore returning to spawn.

While not endangered,populations of lamprey aredropping dramatically acrossthe Columbia Basin, in partbecause adult lampreystruggle to use the fish lad-ders designed for salmon athydropower dams.

Staff from the YakamaNation and the Fish and Wild-life Service began monitoringlamprey distribution in thebasin in 2007.

Prior to the 2011 removalof Condit Dam—whichblocked passage of upstreammigrating fish for more than100 years—surveys found noPacific lamprey above thedam, only below.

Last summer, as part of

the post dam removal moni-toring, the wildlife servicesurveyed for lamprey in sev-eral watersheds as well as themainstem of the WhiteSalmon River above and be-low the former dam site.

Pacific lamprey werefound at three locations up-stream of the former damsite, in areas previously inun-dated by Northwestern Res-ervoir.
