Even after it decomposes, gar
bage isn't really out of sight. 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.

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
