Corps proves to be
in the region. There are over
100 corps members from nine
tribal nations throughout
Idaho, Oregon and Washington
states.
The bulk of Salmon Corps
funding comes from contract
work, set up by Trimble and
Jason Smith, and from grants
set up by Chuck Sams and
Scott Welch. The tribes fund
this program with $40,000.
Over an eleven-month pe
riod, corps members complete
1,700 hours of service and in
return they receive an annual
stipend, post-secondary schol
arship award, health insurance,
child care, GED support, an
opportunity to earn college
credits at no charge, education
testing and placement assis
tance, training, education, job
and life skills.
Training received this year
includes orientation, sexual
harassment and drug abuse
awareness, defensive driving,
team awareness, firefighting,
archaeology, and aboriginal
lifeways. They will continue
with these trainings through
out their 1,700 hours of ser
vice. The Warm Springs Salmon

members, including 12 tribal
members and one non-tribal
member. They are between the
ages of 18 and 25.
The members support the
Work Force Development De
partment, and take in four to
eight summer youth workers,
whom they refer to as
"smolts." They also accept
community service workers to
work their hours with the
corps.
Kalama has been the site
leader for five years, "from the
beginning to now I have seen
this crew grow in maturity,
they take this work seriously,"
says Kalama.
Squad leader Garcia, with
his experience as a fisheries
technician, and the return of
some hard working individu
als have brought this crew to
an outstanding work perfor
mance level.
"I see this crew work so
hard that they are tired and
their arms are like jelly, they
put forth a real team effort,"
says Kalama.
Lewis Hellon is in his sec
ond year as a Salmon Corps
member and has been a sum

for two years. He has seen this

Warm Springs just can't do
anything wrong these days.
The Confederated Tribes en
tered a large float in the Rose
Festival Parade for the first
time ever, and walked off with
the first prize. The three chiefs,
Nelson Wallulatum, Nick
Kalama, and Amos Simtustus
(represented by Harry Miller),
preceded the float in full rega
lia. TV commentators
struggled with the pronuncia
tion of the chief's names and,
understandably, really muffed
it.
The three-section float, ap
proximately 50 feet in length,
was cntided "Celilo Falls". The
overall setting of the float de
picted Mt. Jefferson overlook
ing an Indian casting his net for
salmon at Celilo Falls while a
beautiful maiden (Miss Warm
Springs) watches from the
bank.
The float, built by Dick
Huserik, was a multiple unit
free form design decorated
mosdy with flora native to the
Warm Springs area. In fact, the
trees and ferns came from the
reservation.
The front unit of the float
consisted of a large war bow
with the three-teepee design of
the Confederated Tribes. On
the bow was a large bouquet
rienccd bowler with league
games played in previous years,
while Latasha Boise, Tonya
Boise, and Addie Estimo were
first time bowlers in the league,
Jodene's experience and bowl-
ing her average weekly kept
their scores up as well as the
remaining team with their im

Fund raiser scramble on tap
Another fund raiser
scramble is scheduled to be
held July 14 at the Kah-Nee-Ta
High Desert Resort and
Casino golf course starting at
11:00 a.m. This event is hosted
by the Kah-Nee-Ta Golf Asso
ciation. Entry fee is $30 per person
that includes green fees, tee
prize, KP's, long-putts, and lots
of fun and laughter. If you do
not have a team, one will be
found for you.

The main unit showed Mt.
Jefferson overlooking an In
dian village setting with an ar
tistic teepee, brilliantly colored
drums, and a realistic looking
cook fire with lacy smoke
puffs.

Those who rode on the
prize-winning float were
Aurolyn Stwyer (Miss Warm
Springs), her grandfather Herb
Stwyer, Matilda Mitchell,
Sylvia Wallulatum, Nettie
Shawaway, and Raymond
Shike, Jr.
Steno pool employees were
instrumental in setting up the
whole project with the aid of
Ed Cornwell and Elton
Greeley. The Tribal Council
approved the bulk of the fund
ing for the entry and additional
fund-raisers contributed much
of their time.
Because of the enthusiasm
generated by the winning of
first place in the Rose Festival
Parade, there has been talk of
entering the float in the Pasa
dena Rose Parade. Nothing has
been definitely decided at this
time, however.
