Page '. uiy 15,1983 Spilyay Tymoo Annual report assembled in-house by Donna Behrend What’s in an annual report? By all logical definitions, an annual report should include p e rtin e n t and in te re stin g information, a few photo graphs and possibly a few charts to visually illustrate d iffe re n t asp ects of an organization. The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs has, for years, had annual reports, always produced by Rockey/ Marsh Public Relations of Portland. To cut costs this year, the 1982 a n n u a l r e p o r t is b ein g assembled in-house. Never having done anything like this before, putting together the annual report was an endeavor not taken lightly. Much time, worry, effort and expertise was used in assembling this report. Meetings to discuss the report’s cdntents were held in May. It was difficult to prioritize all the materials submitted, but after a few meetings and long discussions, it was decided what “copy” would and would not be included. Following the last of these meetings, all information submitted by Ed Manion, Doug McClelland and the Planning d epartm ent was scrutinized and rewritten for ASSEMBLY OF AN ANNUAL REPORT—Many, many hours have gone into the 1982 annual report, due fo r distribution in August. B y doing the annual report in-house, nearly $10,000 have been saved. A ll writing, editing, layout and design has been done b y the Spilyay and Planning departments. final review. Sim ultaneously, Spilyay Tymoo was busily pulling “file photos,” taking new photos and trying to figure out the exact layout of the report. With limited space, it was difficult to second-guess each photo’s depth and width. The original copy was typeset ana measured for length. Finding it was too lengthy in some areas, the copy was re-written and cut again. Then the layout began. The layout, much different than newspaper layout, was a difficult task. Each page had to be “squared up,” making sure that all lines were perfectly perpendicular. Using illustra tion board, which has no preprinted lines like newspaper layout pages, a T-square, two, 45 degree tria n g le s and common sense helped to make squaring up the pages just as time-consuming but a bit easier. Spilyay Tymoo staff was assisted in desigi? ideas by graphic artist Ed Carson of Design of the Times in Bend. His expertise helped the newspaper staff to decide exactly where and how the copy should be layed out. O nce th e la y o u t was completed, including photo graphs, the finished pages were read, reread and reread again for typographical errors. Spilyay staff found that even after reading a page several times, errors were still to bp found. Finally, after all copy was in it s p r o p e r p la c e , re d lithographic paper replaced all photos so that when the report was ready for print, the red “holes” would remain open for the proper photographs. Doing the actual work on this annual report has been a challenging experience. All involved in any aspect of the re p o rt have learned an invaluable lesson in graphic design, writing and layout. By next year, the job should be a bit easier if not more fun. Also, those involved with the report learned that not only is time, worry, effort and expertise involved in producing a report. Quite literally, blood, sweat and tears are also involved. New police officer CRITFC, tribes to hire officers hired on river by BIA The BIA has established a permanent law enforcement officer’s position in Skamania C ounty, W ashington. The officer will work with local law e n fo rc e m en t o fficials on problems that mayarise on “in- lieu” Indian fishing sites along the Columbia River. In the past, there have been re p o rte d in s ta n c e s of vandalism on the sites and a lle g a tio n s o f u n la w fu l conduct. The five federal trust sites are used by the Yakima, Umatilla and Warm Springs tribes in the exercising of treaty fishing rights on the Columbia River. The three sites in Washington and the two in Oregon were provided in lieu of traditional fishing sites flooded by th e c o n s tr u c tio n of Bonneville Dam. BIA police officer David Valandra will be detailed from his present job on the Coeur d ’Alene Indian reservation to the Skamania position. The BIA office is presently in the process of recruiting a person to fill the full-time permanent position. The police officer will work closely with local law enforcement officials as well as Indian people on any problems that may arise. S p ily a y T ym oo In May of this year, the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC) received BIA funding for the Columbia River law enforce ment program. The monies will be used for law enforcement p e rso n n e l and g e n e ra l operations of the Hood River office. The program will consist of eight officers and a field supervisor. They will work out of the Hood River Inter-Tribal enforcement office. It was proposed that each of the four Treaty tribes (Nez Perce, Umatilla, Warm Springs and Yakima) hire two officers with the field supervisor being hired by CRITFC. The Nez Perce Tribes does not have its own tribal law enforcement department so CRITFC will also hire personnel for those two positions. It was hoped that the new officers would start work by July 1, but due to setbacks in hiring that date has been changed to August 1. T he o ffic e rs w ill be responsible for enforcing tribal fishing regulations in Zone 6, the Columbia River fishing area from the Bonneville Dam to McNary Dam. The officers will each have the authority to enforce the tribal code against tribal members of the Tribe through which the officer has been employed. The officers will serve to protect tribal fishermen and check the fishing areas and equipment that is used for fishing. They will be in the Zone 6 area to protect the t r e a ty f is h e r m e n fro m harassment and interference by individuals and agencies. This is a step to preservé Indian t r e a t y f is h in g th r o u g h regulatory and enforcement measures by the Indian tribes. It is in-step with the ruling that Indians have the right to govern themselves with tribal law. A L aw E n f o r c e m e n t Advisory Committee com posed of the chief law enforcement personnel from each of the four tribes has been recommended . to ensure the program’s effectiveness. For Warm Springs, Chief of Police Jeff Sanders will be on the advisory committee. The two positions for Warm Springs had been advertised e a r lie r a n d clo sed b u t according to Maurita Smith, CRIFTC law enforcement coordinator, the positions will be readvertised for another t wo weeks. Umatilla will also be open to take additional applications for the two positions from their reserva tion. ★ ★ * * * * / * * Spilyay Tymoo Staff * * * * ♦ * * * MANAGING EDITOR .. ASSISTANT EDITOR ..
