OR 97380-0549 Delores Pigsley, Tribal Chairman Brenda Bremner, General Manager and Editor-in-Chief University of Oregon Library Received on: 11-04 03 Siletz news More than 1,000 computers have been delivered to tribal households, thanks to the Tribal Council’s decision to use excess gaming revenue generated by Chinook Winds Casino to place one computer in each tribal household. The distribution of these computers was not limited to the tribe’s 11 -county service area. Computers were delivered all across the U.S. and some went to households in Canada and Guam. The tribe ordered 1,062 computers from Gateway. Hardware included a tower with Intel Pentium 4 Processor and a CD burner, a monitor, and a printer. Software included Windows XP and MS Works Suite 2002, including MS Word and Encarta. Two hundred eighty-six computers were delivered to tribal households in Lincoln County, including 172 to Siletz, which is 27 percent of the total number ordered. UPS and FedEx made the deliveries. Tribal member Randy Garrett, a UPS driver for 17 years, received some much-needed help at the tribal administration building, where he came on two consecutive days with the initial loads of computers. Many tribal members picked up their computers at the administration building, seriously reducing the number of deliveries Randy had to make. Several people helped organize the distribution, including Darlene Carkhuff, Bristo Bayya, and Robert Bayya. PRESORTED FIRST CLASS U.S. POSTAGE PAID SILETZ, OR 97380 PERMIT NO. 2
