declamation.
For the first time in over twenty
years, no second Vice-chairman was
selected. Warm Springs Chief Dclvis
Heath and Calica each questioned
the constitutionality of the second
Vice-chairman position, citing Ar
ticle I of the tribal By-Laws which
speaks of only three Council offic
ers, the "president", "vice-president"
and the "secretarytreasurer". It was
recommended that the position be
eliminated and that the Chairman
and the Vice-chairman, in their ab
sence, be authorized to appoint an
other Tribal Council member to con
duct meetings. However, the "acting
chairman" would be restricted to
conducting business for the time
appointed.
Nominated for the position of
SecretaryTreasurer were Raymond
Calica, Charles Calica and Mike
. Clements. Clements' nomination
died for lack of a second. For the first
time since the election of 1959, the
position of SecretaryTreasurer was
filled from within Tribal Council, as
Ray Calica was selected to fill the
position recently vacated by Ken
Smith. In support of the selection,
Chief Heath stated, "We have a good
group" serving on Council. .."They
were elected by the people." The
position of SecretaryTreasurer, said
Heath, "should be elected from within
Tribal Council."
In accepting his new position,
Calica stated, "It was tough to go
against my younger brother.. .He is
highly capable." He added the Sec
retaryTreasurer position will be a
challenge to reckon with and one
which he "accepts....I will not let the
people down."
Symphony-from page 1
rector and Conductor. DePreist's
leadership resulted in a new level of
concert activity, a national reputa
tion of quality and even greater ser
vice in the areas of education and
outreach. A major portion of the
Symphony's strong following also
can be attributed to the popularity
and musical expertise of its Associ
ate Conductor, Norman Leyden. Ley
den joined the Symphony in 1971,
initiating the Pops program and be
coming an important part of the clas- .
sical side of the Symphony as well.
Resident Conductor Murry Sidlin
joined the Symphony in 1994, add
ing his national reputation as a great
educator and "communicator" of
classical music to the conducting
staff.
Under DePreist's leadership, the
Symphony's audience has grown to
more than 300,000 people annually.
Before this vast audience, DePreist
and the Oregon Symphony have
championed he music of composers
of our time and our nation. It has an
active program both of commission
ing new works and of presenting
performances of works which have
dropped out of the active repertoire
since thier initial performances. The
orchestra will celebrate its Centen
nial during the 1995-96 season.
The performance at the Warm
Springs Community Center on Sun
day, June 4th is scheduled to begin at
10 a.m. The concert is free to the
public, however donations will be
accepted. For a unique musical ex
perience, you are encouraged to join
in this educational event.

He did a lot of walking when he

his family acquired a car. He feels,
"We were a better bunch of people
when we didn't have money."
After college George was

worked for the Jet Interstate Tractor
and Equipment store in The Dalles.
He stayed there for five years. He
quit due to health reasons. In 1955, at
age 45, George was asked to work at
the Extension Service here in Warm
Springs. He taught arts and crafts to
the youth in Warm Springs, who
George feels "seemed to be lost
between generations." He continued
these efforts until Culture and
Heritage said they would take over.
He retired from the Extension
Service, after 17 years, in 1972.
George enjoys raising plants and
taking care of his yard at his home in
the senior citizen housing area. He
mentioned, "When you go to a place,
you should either leave it in as good
a condition or better than you found
it."
He is a veteran of World War II,
he served as Staff Sergeant in Combat
Engineers in the United States Army.
He saw a lot of sites but recalls, most
of all, going to Switzerland while on
leave. Switzerland is where his
parents migrated from.
He feels there have been a lot of
changes since he has been here. For
instance, he remembers when he
came to Warm Springs, per capita
was $500 a year. Throughout the
development of the reservation, per
capita is now $100 a month.
When asked what his suggestions
to parents now days raising their kids
he feels, "Those experts who give
advice about raising kids don't have
kids of their own, they don't have the
right to give advice." Although, in a
brief observation, George said,
"Younger people aren't taking
enough interest in the reservation as
the generation before, in regards to
preserving the reservation. They just
don't become involved."
