EPA Summer Jobs
Our Web site, EPA Summer
Opportunities for Students, is now up
and running. It provides a central place
for students to learn about EPA
programs, offices, and summer employ
ment opportunities.
Having a central spot will make it
easier for students to find information
about specific areas in which they
would like to work. They also will be
able to submit a job application directly
to the EPA location that has a vacancy.
The EPA Jobs Web site is located
at www.epa.gov/epapages/epahome/
jobs.htm. The direct link to the Summer
Student Employment Opportunities Web
site is www.epa.gov/ohros/student.

Veterans Needed for Honor Guard
by Margo Hudson
The Siletz Tribal Honor Guard is
looking for volunteers to serve on it.
We do special events, funerals for
veterans, and parades.
Tribal Council generously provided
funds to purchase part of the honor guard
uniforms. I’m looking for volunteers in
different areas because we would like
to broaden our area of service, but need
help in finding veterans who are willing
to serve, even if part-time.
I’m building a calendar of events and
ordering uniforms. After four or more
events at which you serve on the Siletz
Tribal Honor Guard, Tribal Council has
allocated funds to purchase an additional
item for your uniform. It’s a surprise
and only available while funds exist.
Training will be provided once we
have established enough people for an
honor guard. I have been designated as
the staff representative for the veterans.
Please call or write to let me know
that you are interested. My telephone
number is 1-800-922-1399, ext. 1303,
or 541-444-8303. My mailing address
is Margo Hudson, Veterans Represen
tative, Siletz Tribe, P.O. Box 549,
Siletz, OR 97380-0549.
