25 years ago this week
(From the D ecember 11, 1981
edition o f the Spilyay Tymoo:)
The m onthly m agazine
America Illustrated, printed in
the Russian language, is planning
a story on the Warm Springs
Indians based upon National
Geographic’s April, 1979 article
about the reservation.
The magazine is published by
the U.S. International Commu
nication Agency, Washington,
D.C., for distribution in the So
viet Union. Elsewhere:
Nearly 200 people gathered
at the Agency Longhouse to dis
cuss the 1982 tribal operating
budget. Due to the absence of
T ribal C o un cil C hairm an
Delbert Frank, vice-chairman
Zane Jackson chaired the meet
ing.
Councilman Mike Clements
told the group that “Council has
taken time to make hard deci
sions.” He said that last year
m any questions were raised
about the court and police de
partments. t cWe took tribal mem
ber input from last year’s meet
ing into consideration” when
making decisions.
The Council directed man
agement to limit the 1982 bud
get to a maximum of 5 percent
increase because of revenue
projection and the current eco
nomic trend. Management met
the objectives, but with capital
improvements, such as a new
water system for Elliott Heights,
the 1982 budget is 6 percent over
the 1981 budget.

The Bridge of the Gods ca
sino communications team met
in Portland recently, to chart out
the path for the coming year.
The group is optimistic that
2007 is the year when the ca
sino environmental impact state
ment (EIS) will be approved for
siting of the casino, said Greg
Leo, a consultant on the project.
Part of the reason for the
optimism is the recent re-elec
tion of Gov. Kulongoski, and
the election of local officials at
Cascade Locks and Hood River
County who support the tribes,
said Leo.
“And we believe that what the
opponents are saying is not cred
ible,” he said. Opponents have
circulated a document that says
the tribes’ Hood River property"
is not a viable casino site; but
the document is “dishonest and
a m isrep resen tatio n o f the
tribes’ rights as related to that
site,” said Leo.
The casino communications
team includes Leo; tribal govern
ment affairs director Louie Pitt;
M ichael Mason, governm ent
affairs; Margie Tuckta, special
projects manager; Floyd Calica,
community outreach; Lena Ike,
administrator of the communi
cations effort; attorneys Howie
Arnett and Dennis Karnopp;
Jeff Ford, casino chief execu
tive officer; Len Bergstein, state
affairs consultant.
Also attending the recent
communications team meeting
were Ken Smith, chairman of
the gam ing board; and Ed
M anion, vice chair and EIS
manager.
“It was an optimistic meet
ing and the prospects are good
for the coming year,” said Leo.
