Provide approp riate program(s), facility and access handicapped, aged and disabled. For the Health department the following recommendations are pro posed: I . Adopt and implement the five-year health plan which requires development of an annual plan for each of the five years; 2. Construct a new health center; 3. Construct for a month at a time for two months a year. Time served is spread out over the year. For exam ple, if a person is chosen to serve in January, he may not be called again until July. To avoid prob lems, the court tries not to schedule too many people from any one department or family to serve on jury at the same time. When a tribal or WSFPI employee is called for jury duty, he draws his regular wages as specified in the personnal manual. If the person is unemployed, he receives $12 per day plus mileage from his home. Seasonal employees, such as those working in the woods, usually serve during the winter. Jurors are paid during the month following service. If a juror has no phone or leaves no message phone number, the court has no way of contacting him. It is advised that jurors con tact the court prior to trial so they can be sure that the trial will pro ccde as scheduled. If a juror does , not show up to serve, a $180 civil contempt fine and or five day jail sentence may be imposed. This can be waived if the juror has a good excuse. If you have a medical excuse, are a senior citien or have an appointment you can be exempt from jury by filling out an exemp tion request prior to trial. A person can be selected to serve on a jury every three years. If you have been chosen tcf serve this year. " your name probably won't appear! on the list again until 1991.

Jefferson County commissioner Gordon Shown ex pressed interest in learning more about the tribe's diversion programs. He mentioned, also, that the county district attorney would like more information. Judge Herschel Read of Jeffer son County felt circuit judges should familiarize themselves with drug and alcohol programs and concerns of the three areas. They should "educate themselves on what eve ryone is doing," he added. With a common interest cooperative effort will provide a better means of con trolling the problems. Shown pointed out. Knowing how existing pro grams are working is important. Services are available for per sons who are jailed should they need counseling or help. To avoid tragedies both Jefferson County and the Tribe have people on call. It is important, says Reed, that "we , know all we can about a person before he is jailed." Comini pointed out that a new bridge is planned to be built by I989 near Wapinitia from thecounty road budget. To severe turns at the present bridge site affects traffic. Comini also invited reservation youths to join a youth job corp that employs boys and girls between the ages of 1 5-1 8 for forest work. The Mid-Columbia Council of Govern ments funds a youth conservation group. Last year 56 youth, super vised by forest service personnel, were funded. In the upcoming sum mer the council hopes to expand the number by 20 and use Bear Springs as the campsite. Any youth can apply for the jobs and names will be drawn for employment. The meeting was productive in many ways particularly by provid ing a way for county and tribal officials to become acquainted and discuss issues in an informal way Dennis Karnopp referred to the first meeting the tribe had with Jef ferson County, "We found out we had more similarities than differences." Attending the lunch meeting were: Tribal Council chairman Zane Jack son; tribal council members Ellen Henry, Rita Squiemphen, Janice Clements, Mickey Brunoe, Delbert Frank; tribal secretary-treasurer Larry Calica, Wasco chief Nelson Wallulatum, Warm Spring chief Delvis Heath, tribal fiscal services manager Doug McClelland, tribal community services manager Ed Manion, Tribal Council secretary Myrtle Adams, tribal consultant Ken Smith, Jefferson County judge Herschel Read, tribal attorney Dennis Karnopp, Wasco county judge Bill Hulse, Wasco County Commissioner Jim Comini, Jeffer son County commissioners Helmer Wallan and Gordon Shown. Plans are being made to meet again. Discussions for future meet ings might include airports and lot teries. In the interim contacts will be made regarding the subjects brought out in the first meeting. The meeting is the first step in coordinating activities between the Tribe, Wasco and Jefferson Coun ties. It is the beginning of increased communication between these dis tricts.
