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.
