To The People
To the People of Warm Springs,
We, in the past two weeks or so,
have dealt with many items that
may change the future appearance
of Warm Springs as well as provide
a more secure future for our member
ship. Earlier this month, we reviewed
a proposed preliminary plan pre
sented by the BIA Roads Department
that will provide a new approach to
Highway 26. The new access route
would come from the southside of
the community, through the campus,
on Paiute Street, to the highway.
This proposal could involve a new
bridge and underpass for Shitike
Creek traffic. We have asked the
Roads department and tribal plan
ning to have public hearings for
input.
Also proposed is a change in the
West Hills approach to Tenino
Road and perhaps a new west-side
entrance from Tenino Road to the
Administration building.
BIA programs officer Charles
Jackson explained to us the 1988
budget cycle and the general process.
He also explained the adjustments
that are expected between this fiscal
year and 1988. He presented the
planning figures and we expect a
small increase in the overall BIA
budget. Jackson pointed out the
need for coordination between the
Warm Springs Agency and tribal
budget.
Ken Smith reported on the progress
he's made on the various projects
such as water rights, investments
and federal legislation.
We authorized the tribal staff
and attorneys to submit a final
draft of the amended trust agreement

with the U.S. Bank. Theamendment
would provide for two investment
funds for the minor's trust. The
"basic fund" would be set up for
children under the age of 14. It
would be a high growth type fund,
gaining high interest over along
period of time.
The "fixed fund" would be for
older children. It would have a
more fixed growth on investments
so that payments could be more
predictable. The bank, as trustee,
would have about four years to
decide when to move the childrens'
investments from the basic fund to
the fixed fund, depending on market
predictions.
Lobbyist Mark Phillips was in
from Washington, D.C. and gave a
report on the status of certain
legislative items, such as the congres
sional appropriations and hydro
relicensing and bingo and gambling
legislation. He also explained the
proposed Columbia River Gorge
Protection Act and the Indian Health
Care Improvement Act.
Assistant Secretary Treasurer
Mike Clements was authorized to
redraft Tribal Council rules which
govern the conduct of our meetings
and business.
Acting Secretary Treasurer Larry
Calica began program planning for
1987 which will state alternative
plans and costs. The plans will be
based on department charters. He
hopes to get tribal member input to
those plans before submitting them
in a final proposed form to Tribal
Council.

Secretary exhibits skills in contest
by Donna Behrend
A secretary is considered by many
to be the backbone of an organiza
tion. And a secretary with well
developed skills is invaluable. A well
trained secretary can fit into almost
any office when called upon. Toni
(Smith) Made fits that description.
Toni has developed her secretarial
skills to such a point that she's
currently typing about 100 words
per minute, taking shorthand at
1 30 words per minute and operating
a dictaphone at twice the usual
rate.
Beinganavid reader, Toni regular
ly scans the newspaper from front
to back. While doing so one day,
Toni spotted an ad announcing a
statewide typing competition that
would eventually lead to a national
competition. Toni contacted Compe
tition coordinator Pat Lussier of
Western Temporary Service in
Portland found that the competition
was open to anyone who was
interested.
Once Toni decided to participate,
it was a matter of funding. Because
she is employed as a temporary
clerical aide, Toni was not eligible
for tribal funding. Toni said that
tribal managers all chipped in so
that she would have gas money.

is also under the same program.
Brunoe explained that heand his
family were selected for the job as

think the family would work out.
Brunoe wouldn't have been selected.
The major requirement for the family

they must live in a 900 square foot
hotel room for the next three years.

Southern Oregon State College, he
spent a year with Proctor and
Gamble as a sale representative in
Spokane. Washington. He worked
as a sale trainee at WSFP1 and
worked for a ycar-and-a-half under
the management trainee program
at Kah-Nee-Ta. Following that,
Brunoe worked for about a year in
Stevenson. Washington with Wood
I Northwest. It was in 1980, that
Brunoe returned once again to Kah-Nee-Ta.
Brunoe feels that since 1980, the
resort has changed due to the chang
ing markets. Oregon, and Kah-Nee-Ta
as well, are both seeing
more international business than
ever before and it will increase due
to Expo "86. And. Brunoe feels that
Americans are going to stay in
country. "They're going to do their
traveling in the United States."
Over all. Kah-Nee-Ta should see
an increase in business.
The Brunoes are excited about
their newest adventure that will
take them thousands of milcsaway
from home. However. Brunoe says
his two youngest children have no
concept of how far away China
really is. And. while waiting for
word on his exact departure date,
Brunoe has been studying Mandarin,

of that competition won't be avail
able until later next week. Her
score for her initial testing was 102
words per minutes with six errors.
All test results were sent to the
home office of Western Temporary
Services in Walnut Creek, California
as will the results of the final state
competition.
. Toni's reason for entering the
competition is personal. "I want to
inspire young kids and help our
people. Maybe kids will see what
I'm doing and think "hey, maybe I
can do that."
One thing Toni stressed is that
she didn't learn her skill overnight.
She started typing when she was in
the seventh grade where her speed
was 56 words per minutes on a
manual typewriter. And, she had
"positive surroundings to motivate
her. I've had a lot of good teachers.
She attributes much of her success
to her mother and to playing the
piano at a very young age. "My
mom was always there giving me a
push "when practicing the piano.
Whatever her reasons for com
peting, she feels she's fulfilling her
goal of being a "roll model" and
hopefully setting a positive example
for the youth and other of Warm
Springs.
