Checks to have
expiration date
It was announced recently that
recipients of federal government
checks will no longer have "forever"
to cash those checks beginning
October I, 1989.
Provisions of the new law limit
the time period to one year for
cashing federal government checks
and for initiating claims of non
receipt. Currently, federal government
checks are payable without any
time limitation and total aoproxi
mately 550 million checks annually
which are valued at more than $500
billion. Nationwide, there are ap
proximately six million uncashed
federal government checks held by
the public for one reason or another
that are older than one year. Their
value exceeds $2.5 billion.
The new law requires that the
checks dated on or after October I ,
1989 must be cashed within one
year from the date of issue on the
check. These checks will bear the
legend, "Void After One-Year.-"-
The new law also provides that
all federal government checks issued
prior to October I, 1989 will have
to be cashed not later than Sep
tember 30, 1990.
Two other major provisions of
the new law allows only one year
for a payee to file a claim of non
receipt, and allows only 18 months
for the treasury department to initi
ate recovery of funds from a finan
cial institution in cases involving
forgeries or unauthorized endorse
ments. Although this new law sets a
time limit on cashing a check, it
does not affect an individual's enti
tlement to payment which must be
determined by the federal agency
that initially authorized the check.
A bona fide holder of an expired
check should contact the agency
and request a replacement check.

The Confederated Tribes of
Warm Springs recently received a
$2,500 special emphasis grant from
the Small Business Administration.
The grant is to be used specifically
for business training and counseling
on the reservation.
According to tribal economic
development specialist Robert
Raimondi, a one-day "Getting
Down to Business" seminar will be
held later this fall as part of the
grant. The seminar, titled, "Doing
Business on the Reservation," will
assist those tribal members already
in business or considering going
into business on the reservation.
Also to be covered will be the
physical and legal environment
peculiar to Warm Springs. In
addition, there will be commercial
emphasis on the types of businesses
that will probably be located in the
proposed shopping center. Those
attending the seminar will be look
ing at capital projects anticipated
by the Tribe and how they may
influence private business planning.
The seminar, says Raimondi, will
offer a "good, firm base for what '
it's going to take to get a business
started."
A nominal fee of $5.00 will be
charged for each participant. When
plans are finalized for the seminar,
announcements will be posted.
Do you know the locally
accepted definition of child abuse?
Are you aware of the number
of children who are physically and
sexually abused each year in Warm
Springs?
Do you know of the programs
available in Warm Springs designed
for victims and their families and
alleged abusers?
These questions any many more
will be answered in upcoming issues
of Spilyay Tymoo in a series con
cerning the physical and sexual
abuse and neglect of tribal child
ren. Also to be discussed will be
abusers and what programs are
available to help them reverse their
behavior and what is being done to
help adults who were abused as
children.
Above all, abuse must be handled
professionally and without emo
tion. People don t get help, cases
don't get solved if those dealing
with the cases get mad. To most
people, this, in itself, would be an
impossible task.
Professionals say there is no more
abuse now than 10, 20 or 50 years
ago. It's just that people are now
more aware of the crime and are
more willing to talk. More cases
are finally being reported and taken

Celebrate Children Special buck tags to be issued
For the first time in this Nation's
history , a day has been set aside to
celebrate children. Congress has
declared Tuesday, October 10, as
Children's Day. Children make an
important contribution to our
Nation's quality of life. yet. recent
studies have shown that parents
spend very little time listening to
their offshpring. The average father
spends only three minutes a day
listening to his kids. Mothers arc
not much better communicators,
spending an average of only seven
minutes a day speaking with their
children.
Please help celebrate Children's
Day by spending extra time recog
nizing our younger citizens' con
tributions to our lives and hap-

library of Warm Springs Flcmcn
tary School on Tuesday. October

Due to last summer's drought
and a very severe winter, there was
a substantial loss in deer herds over
many areas of Eastern Oregon.
The decreased deer herds caused
a reduction in the length of buck
season and the number of doe tags
allotted for ceded lands this year.
Therefore, it is anticipated that
fewer ceremonial deer w ill be taken
this year.
Currently, the tribal goal is to
.arvest and store at least sixty
anterless deer to provide for tribal
member funerals in 1990. If ad
ditional deer are taken, priorities
for use will be established.
Knowing there will be a shortage
of ceremonial deer, we have decided
to issue Special Reservation buck
tags and set priorities for the re
maining off-reservation doe tags to

families planning memorials in
1990.
Tribal member families who plan
to conduct a memorial in 1990
should contact the Natural Re
sources office to obtain tags for the
memorial. If a familiy docs not
have a hunter, they may designate
individuals to hunt for them.
Reservation tags and most ceded
area controlled hunt tags will only
be valid in October, so it is im
portant that families make their
requests as oon as possible. Most
ceded area doe hunts begin on
October 14th and last approximat
ely one week.
In order to provide for the future
tribal members, the Reservation
deer herds will need to continue to
grow: therefore, no tags or hunt in
should occur after October.
