SMILE
(Continued from page 1)
For fourth- and fifth-graders,
the SMILE Club activities
for the 2002-03 year will end
in May, when the members
take part in a three-day out
door camp.
College students are re
cruited to serve as mentors.
Everyone stays in cabins at
the site of the camp.
Activities usually include
some interaction with the en
vironment, such as cartography
courses, or testing of acidity of
the water of a lake.
Land: $943
for 28 acres
(Continued from page 1)
For instance, the price the state
paid to Jim for the 28.6-acre parcel
was just $943.80. "The figure seems
remarkably low for the sale of more
than one-third of an Indian's allot
ment, particularly in view of the fact
that the portion conveyed to the state
is the most marketable portion of the
property," according to the report.
Also" in regard to the timber pre
serve strip: the deed specifically pro
vides an access easement to Thomas
Jim. This easement would pass with
the subsequent transaction of the
trust property, meaning the Confed
erated Tribes can use the easement
across the strip for access to the pro
posed casino site, the report says.
Tribal officials have been looking
closely at these old transactions, as
they pursue the best possible gaming
expansion plan - a plan that is best
for the tribes as well as for people at
Hood River, said Rudy Clements,
gaining spokesman.
Lake Billy Chinook Day this
The Confederated Tribes this year
are again helping sponsor Lake Billy
Chinook Day, set for Saturday, Sept.
21.
A main purpose of Lake Billy
Chinook Day is a community clean
up around the lake, both on the res
ervation and off.
But the event is much more than a
clean up, said Paul Patton, State Parks
visitors service team leader.
There will be a barbecue, enter
tainment, a tour of the lake by boat,
a kayak race, birds of prey demon
stration, plus prizes.
The clean up though is important.
Anyone interested in participating in
the clean up should show up at the
first boat launch at the Cove between
9 and 10 a.m. on Sept. 21.
A boat will be available to take
people to cleanup areas along the res
ervation shoreline.
Volunteers who help are welcome
to the barbecue free of charge.
Lake Billy Chinook Day this year
is marking its ninth anniversary. The
event is co-sponsored mainly by the
