Elder Council Meeting June 12,2004 Chinook Winds Casino & Convention Center 2 p.m. - 5 p.m. Elders’ Woodcut a Success; More Wood Available The elders’ woodcut held in April by the Natural Resources Committee went very well! Thirty-five volunteers cut 10° cords of wood and delivered it to 18 elders in the Siletz area. Elders still are on the waiting list. A Portland contractor, Don Adams, will donate 75 trees to the elders for firewood. This wood will be cut up after it has been delivered and disbursed as soon as possible. If you’re an elder who didn’t receive wood from the woodcut, the site has been opened to all tribal members. The Natural Resources Department is issuing woodcut permits. Please call Natural Resources at 541-444-8232 or 1-800-922-1399, ext. 1232, to get a wood cutting permit before all the wood is gone! Van Peters, principal of Siletz Valley School, received the 2004 Outstanding Administrator of the Year award from the Oregon Indian Education Association. He’s shown here with Patty Savage-Socha, who’s received the OIEA Educator of the Year award twice, and the late Craig Whitehead, school board president. Volunteers cut and get ready to haul wood to waiting elders during the elders’ woodcut in April. Another Year of Wisdom Happy Birthday!
