Cort Directions serving new client Twenty-five years ago Heat wave ties national record From the July 28, 1978 edition of the Spilyay Tymoo Warm Springs shared with Tumalo the dubious of being the nation's hot spot this past Tuesday, as the mercury soared to 109 degrees. Weary from the week-long heat wave, folks scurred from air-conditioned cars to air-conditioned buildings, wondering how they were going to get any sleep that night in their non-air-conditioned houses. Everyone has a different way of coping with extreme heat. Dan Macy just shrugs it off and says to think about snow. Caroline Tohet whips up a huge container of lemonade and serves it in cheerfully decorated glasses, Lloyd Smith Jr. (Shag) spent some time in the pool up at Kah-Nee-Ta, and Spilyay's Cynthia Stowell cried because the Burger Inn was out of ice cream. In other news: Kah-Nee-Ta took on a new general manager, ending nearly eight weeks of team manage ment at the resort. Bill Pauli, 47, was transferred from Kah-Nee-Ta Village up to the Lodge, where he occupies the seat va cated by Dan Myles.

BEND - Cort Directions, the tribally owned payroll and hu man resources computer soft ware company, has added a significant new client, Colum bia Helicopters.

The fact that Cort Direc tions serves professional sports teams was a key fac tor, said McClure. "Because professional sports teams have the same complex pay roll processing requirements as we do, such as processing multiple states in the same pay period, we looked for ven dors whose clients included pro sports teams. That quickly narrowed the running to just two companies," he said. McClure says that Colum bia Helicopters as a geographi cally disbursed workforce, from Alaska to Peru. This can lead to long de lays before the payroll depart ment learns that field person nel time was entered incor recdy. "CORT Directions makes it easy to correct payroll er rors, even those from prior payrolls, months, and quar ters," said McClure.
