TRIBAL PROGRAM NEWS Computer Funding Approved by Tina Retasket The lion didn t sleep at the SVS Talent Show and neither did the snake, giraffe, or alligator - alias Drama Class members (left to right) Natasha Williams. Tim Lindstrom. Karli Jay, and Shyla Justice. Students from grades K-12 participated in the talent show in various performances, including musical skits, sign language presentations, poetry, baton twirling, and more. Veterans Information Once again, thanks goes to the Siletz Tribal Council for approving funding for desktops and a limited number of laptops for college students. Tribal staff is working on obtain ing quotes for price per individual unit in order to obtain the most com puter for the least amount of money. These will be new. state-of-the-art comput ers. Bid responses will go to the Tribal Coun cil in July for award ing a contract based on the bids received. Staff and council are aware that the first computers purchased are beginning to fail because of use and time. The components are outdated at five years old and the cost to repair them is nearly as high as purchasing a new one. In addition to providing laptops for eligible college students and desktops to tribal member households that have not received one previously. Tribal Council approved purchasing a limited number of replacement computers for tribal member households that received one in 2002. Households that are non tribal but have legal cus tody of a tribal child are eligible to apply on be half of that tribal child (NIC applica tion). The adult is re sponsible for all taxes associated with receipt of the computer and if the child should leave the home, the computer must go with the tribal child. If you would like more informa tion or need to request an application, please call Tina Retasket. assistant general manager, at 541-444-8210 or 1-800-922-1399, ext. 1210. by Margo Hudson I would like to thank all the veter ans who participated in this year's Me morial Day celebration on Government Hill.
