Tribal planners. Kah-Nee-Ta Board of Direct ors and the Portland architectural firm of Brun Morcland Christopher have been working together to outline the proposed three-phase plan which would be developed over a live-year period. The need for changes at Kah-Ncc-Ta have been recognized for some time by the Board of Direc tors, says Board chairman Mike Clements. "There has always been property plans with Kah-Nee-Ta," he says. Last summer a committee was appointed to look more thoroughly into a development plan and to generate ideas for a 5-10-ycar plan. The plan was recently put on paper. The Kah-Nee-Ta masterplan is built around a "family resort" con cept, explains Clements. We're "making an effort to reach these folks" along with recreational people. New ideas for appeal to recrea tionalists and families include the addition of recreational vehicle facilities and tent camping. A time share and condominium complex is also being considered for the final phase of the plan. Initially "we will try to do things that are affordable," says Clements. The bigger items will wait. Changes will occur in areas that will gener ate immediate revenue. The Board, working with Tribal Council, will continue to update the plan to formulate the best over all plan for Kah-Nee-Ta. Funding for projects will be on an annual basis as development continues. The annual Kah-Nee-Ta public meeting on February 25 will allow community members the opport unity to get a closer look at the plan. The Kah-Nee-Ta masterplan in cludes the development of both Village and Lodge areas. Actual construction will be ranked and will occur after analysis of needs, costs and availability of funding.

It was stated that IHS would like to see the Tribes take over at least 75 percent of the con tracting. Another tribal member ask if the health charter had been approved by Council with the answer being yes. People wanted to know what avenues were open to tribal members to voice concerns about the health care presently being pro vided. The use of monies to send people to alcohol treatment programs only to have them return and "fall of the wagon," was questioned. It was stated not all programs offer after care and the health branch sees a need for aftercare to assist people in "staying dry." One individual expressed a belief that it was a good plan but felt there was a need to guarantee that it would provide all it says it will. "It looks good on paper but will it work." He went on to say that he felt too. often the people were moti vated by negative information. They may read something in a paper and accept it as a truth even if it is nega tive. He also saw a need for real feedback on the plan. People who are concerned with the plan should contact Sal Sahme for input. The only way a plan will ; work is if the people become active in the process. Sahme said it is a plan that can be an active living plan and not just a booklet for guidelines or policies and procedures. life loss (YPLL) due to alcoholism and substance abuse. 4.
