It's still there.. .in just another form. Garbage won't vanish. It's form may change as it is burned, buried and disintegrates, but it will not disappear. Even though garbage is removed from the receptacle in front of each house two times each week, the waste produced by Warm Springs residents still exists. The paper that was tossed into the garbage can last week is beginning to disintegrate in the landfill. It will take one month to break down. The cotton rag will take five months to decompose while the painted wood requires 13 years, the tin can will take 100 years, the glass bottle 500 years and the plastic milk jug or styrofoam container never. As a nation we create4.5 pounds of waste per person each day, two pounds more than 60 years ago. And the waste produced by each person continues to increase. Until the incident of the Islip Barge, cruising the eastern coast in search of a port at which to deposit its 3,100 tons of garbage occurred, garbage was not much of a con cern. But since that time attention has been focused on the waste created by the nation and what will be done with it. Warm Springs, with its spacious landscape, provides extensive areas to deposit garbage. But Warm Springs residents are part of the nation's statistics. They are as re sponsible for the production of waste as is a resident of a metropol itan area. They help produce Ore gon's daily 5,480 tons of refuse. According to Warm Springs Utilities Department project man ager Herb Graybael, sanitation tech nicians in Warm Springs collect 80 cubic yards of garbage per day in the community. The Tribe pays approximately $205,000 annually to serve Warm Springs residents and have a land fill maintained. The cost increases as new regulations are implemented. The landfill, operated by Johnny Continued on page 5 Two-day tax workshop planned Isley and Co., the Tribal Audi tors are having an income tax workshop for all interested tribal Resources to Join with Integrated Resources Management Team to determine what the future will hold for the Warm Springs Reservation.

Voters to decide tribal borrowing authority The February 20 Secretarial elec tion concerning tribal borrowing authority, if approved, would allow the Tribe to seek private financing for tribal facilities if authorized by tribal voters through referendums. Currently, the tribal Constitution provides for borrowing only from the federal government and limits other financing methods. The proposed constitutional amendment would change Article V, Section 1 (e) to read as follows. "To borrow money from the Federal Government in accordance with the terms of a corporate char ter to be issued to the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reser vation of Oregon and to borrow money for public purposes in accordance with terms to be ap proved by tribal referendum." The new language allows the Tribe, if authorized by referendum, to take advantage of the Indian Tax Status Act, including borrow ing from private institutions and issuing tribal bonds. "This would give the Tribes the tools to finance community devel opment needs, especially the big projects such as the Early Child hood Education Center and Health Center," said Ken Smith, tribal Chief Executive Officer. He added, "The Tribe has a number of public projects on the drawing board and we need to leverage tribal funds with loans and grants from the pri vate sector as well as the govern ment." "We cannot depend on the fed eral government for grants or loans. We need to take advantage of the financing opportunities that are available to us. The people, through referendums, will decide on which projects private financing will apply,"said Larry Calica, Director of Governmental Affair and Plan ning. "Approval of the Secretarial elec tion will allow us to borrow addi tional money to help fund the con struction of the Early Childhood Continued on page 2 members on February 13 and 14, 1990.
