New mobile-friendly web map of Paul Washington Cemetery available A new interactive, online map of the Paul Washington Cemetery is available in the Members Area of the Tribal website (https://tinyurl.com/siletz-cemetery). The next time you visit, you can use your cell phone, tablet or laptop to navi- gate around the cemetery. The web map- ping application has a search box where you can search by name and a locator button to show where you are on the map. To view the new cemetery map, log in to the Members Area of the tribal website and click the Paul Washington Cemetery tab in the lower left corner. The cemetery web map is a work-in- progress, so if you notice any bugs (or have any suggestions for improvement), please contact Jen Martin, Planning Department data coordinator, at 541-444-8271; 800-922- 1399, ext. 1271; or jmartin@ctsi.nsn.us. New deadline set for 2018 summer internship program The deadline to apply for the Tribe’s 2018 College Students Summer Intern- ship Program has been moved up to March 16, 2018. Selecting students earlier will allow more time to develop relevant work site placements so students can start internships in late June or early July. To be eligible you must be at least a half-time student attending a two-year or four-year college and in good academic standing. Applications will be mailed to known students, but if you do not receive an appli- cation, please contact Assistant General Manager Bonnie Petersen or the educa- tion specialists at any Tribal area office to request an application. This program helps Tribal students locate internship placements to gain work experience in their field of study. Ten slots are available for 2018. Students can work up to 360 hours at Tribal minimum wage and can be placed within or outside of the Tribe. Placements can begin in June, but must be completed by Sept. 28, 2018. Students selected for the program must complete an orientation, criminal history background check and drug screening. (Note: The Tribe does not rec- ognize Oregon laws allowing the use of medical or recreational marijuana.) Students should send a completed application and an unofficial copy of transcripts to: January 2018 Community Meetings The dates for this winter’s Plan- ning Department Community Meet- ings are: Eugene – Jan. 11 Siletz – Jan. 18 Salem – Jan. 25 Portland – Jan. 31 Tribal RV parks have space available for you Logan Road RV Park, Lincoln City, Ore. – loganroadrvpark.com or 877-LOGANRV Hee Hee Illahee RV Resor t, Salem, Ore. – heeheeillahee.com or 877-564-7295 By mail: CTSI Attn: College Internship Program PO Box 549 Siletz, OR 97380-0549 By fax: 541-444-2307 By email: collegeinterns@ctsi.nsn.us “Ch’ee t’u” Siletz Basketry Classes Deadline for applications to be received at the Siletz central administration building is 4:30 p.m. on March 16, 2018.
