This month has brought many changes in our USDA Program. Our
participation came up tremendously, by about 150.. I think that since
we have acquired the frozen ground beef our participants like it the
best. There have been many positive comments about the frozen
ground beef. Deliveries are made monthly to the warehouse to assure
that the beef is fresh. At this time we would like to ask our
participants, if you are choosing the frozen ground beef, please be
sure to bring your own coolers. This will help to insure that the beef
will stay frozen until you reach home. We know especially with the
summer weather and the travel time this will help.
Also, this month we bid a fond farewell to both of the clerks.
Kelley Ellis has left her position at the Salem warehouse and Todd
Mason has left his position at the Siletz warehouse. They have done a
lot of hard work for our program. I'd like to wish them both the best
of luck in their new positions. They both will be greatly missed.
EDITORS NOTE: Get well wishes to Charlene who.recently
injured her back. Raymond Blacketer and Daryllynne Carey are
temporarily keeping things going at USDA.

The Library recently purchased 21 new
Native American Books to add to our
Library Collection. Many o f the books
purchased are children's stories. The
Library recently received a gift of Native
American Books from Nadine Liebertz, in
Loving Memory of William J. Liebertz II.
William, really enjoyed learning about the
life ways of the Native American and
wanted his collection to go to the Siletz
People. We gladly accept and appreciate
this generous donation.

Weather has slowed work on our apartment project. We don't have any control
over the weather, except to pray for sunny skies.
But, of even more concern are the reports from our contractor, Wolverine
Supply, that plywood and lumber is being stolen from the site. Whoever is doing this
is really s t e a lin g from the Tribal Elders and families who will be occupying these units,
is how I feel about it. We would appreciate any information on the responsible parties.
Additional security measures are being taken.
Despite these and other problems that have plagued this project, we are
expecting the f r a m i n g to start soon. The Housing Authority board recently selected
colors for the exterior and interiors of the living units and administration building. I
know that this will be one of the most attractive housing areas in the Northwest—one
that all Tribal members can take pride in.
We have ju st begun notifying applicants who have been selected for units at
Tolowa Court, which is the street name for this new housing area. Those applicants
who have been determined ineligible are also being notified as to the reasons and
given an opportunity for a hearing. This will still leave many applicants on the waiting
list. These will also be notified as to the reason they have not yet been selected. We
hope to get our next rental housing area trader construction soon, so that they will not
