STAHS makes basket purchase with Tribal charitable grant, other funds
The Siletz Tribal Arts and Heritage
Society (STAHS) made a significant pur-
chase of five Siletz baskets through a grant
from the Siletz Tribal Charitable Con-
tribution Fund and money from STAHS
fundraising efforts.
STAHS Vice Chairman David Hatch,
working with Tribal Cultural Director
Robert Kentta, became aware of the bas-
kets held by Arthur Erickson of Arthur
W. Erickson Inc. Fine Arts and Unusual
Antiques in Portland, Ore.
The baskets were presented to the
Tribal Council by Hatch and STAHS
members Gloria Ingle and Margo Hudson.
The acquisitions will be owned by the
Siletz Tribal Cultural Center.
The purchases of another two collec-
tions were completed in April to further
add to the Siletz Tribal Collections. The
first one includes seven baskets and the
other includes five baskets and a tradi-
tional Siletz gambling drum. Details will
be shared in a future issue of Siletz News.

Between December 2012 and January 2013, all Western Region Food Distribution
Programs went through a transitional period. The warehouse that handles the storage
and distribution of all of our commodity foods was moved from Paris Brothers in
Kansas City, Mo., to Americold in Nampa, Idaho.
During this transition period, several products were not available for ordering
while a portion of the inventory was
shipped between the new and old ware-
houses. It appears that all of this has
been completed, so our warehouse is now
fully stocked.
I’ve made these cookies and they are
so good. Hope you all get a chance to
try them.

Name:
* 1/3 Cup milk
* ¼ Cup all-purpose flour
* ½ Cup mixed candied fruit, finely chopped
¾ Cup chocolate chips
* ¼ Cup sugar
*2 Tablespoons honey
* 2 Tablespoons shortening
• In a saucepan, combine butter, milk, sugar & honey. Bring to a full boil.
Remove from the heat; stir in almonds and fruit. Stir in flour until
blended. Drop by tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart onto greased & floured
baking sheets. Spread batter with a spoon to form 2-1/2 inch circles.
Bake at 350* for 6-9 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool
on pans for 1 minute before carefully removing to waxed paper to cool
completely. For coating, combine chocolate chips and shortening in a
small saucepan. Cook over low heat until melted. Spread 1 teaspoonful
over the bottom of each cookie. When chocolate is almost set, draw
wavy lines with a fork or cake decorating comb. Store in the
refrigerator.
• When I made these, I used whole wheat flour in place of the all-purpose
flour and replaced the almonds and candied fruit with the FRUIT & NUT
MIX that we have in our food boxes.
