Budget: District
meetings planned
for October
(Continued from page 1)
The weak wholesale market for elec
tricity this year has been a main factor
in why the tribal government budget is
facing a significant drop in revenue:
Warm Springs Power Enterprises pro
vides a large percentage of the overall
revenue. Timber revenue meanwhile
is con tinuing its s teady 10-year .decline,
The need for new revenue is the
main reason why the Confederated
Tribes are diligently pursuing develop
ment of a new casino at the Columbia
Gorge.
Earlier this month, the heads of the
various tribal departments and
branches presented two budget sce
narios to Tribal Council. The first sce
nario was based on a 5-percent reduc
tion for 2003. The second was based
on a 10-percent reduction.
A draft budget will be posted in
October, after which time the council
and other tribal officials will conduct
district meetings with tribal members.
This will be the opportunity for the
tribal membership to comment on the
proposed budget. There will also be
one pr more general council meetings
on the proposal. A final recommended
budget will be presented in November
to Tribal Council, which will make the
appropriation later in the month.

Lake Billy Chinook Day has a unique
emblem, with meaning to all of the dif
ferent parts of the drawing.
Paul Patton, of Oregon State Parks,
provided an explanation of the mean
ing of the emblem.
First, the human figure on the em
blem is standing in water. The water is
represented by three wavy lines, which
is a technique used in Native Ameri
can rock drawings.
The emblem, in fact, was developed
by a Native American woman from
back east.
By standing in water, the human is
representing an interactive relationship
with nature, said Patton.
In the water is a fish, representing
fish and wildlife.
The three lines below the figures arm
are the three rivers that flow into Lake
Billy Chinook: the Deschutes, Mctolius
and Crook rivers.
The way the lines are arranged in
the drawing reflects in a simple form
the geographic configuration of the riv-
