would be placed along the
highway, such as at each
end o f th e reserv atio n
where the highway enters
tribal land. T he Council
resolution supports the ef
fort to secure funding to
establish and maintain the
markers.
The BIA, Oregon D e
partm ent o f Transporta
tion, and Parks and Rec
reation are possible fund
ing sources, Calica said.
VFW and American Le
gion fundraising is another
possible source.
O re g o n Sen. T ed
Ferrioli and U.S. Sen. Ron
Wyden are in support o f
the Tribal Veterans Memo
rial Highway designation,
Calica said.
Movin’ Mountains entries
will remain $25 per person,
and divisions will include, like
last year, men’s and women’s
in d iv id u al c o m p e titio n s ,
men’s and women’s teams o f
four, and two-person mixed
teams. Last year, 328 people
took part.
O ne element that is new
this year is that people who
w ant to participate in both
individual and team competi
tions m ust pay separate entry
fees o f $25. Participants can
compete in up to two events.
The essence o f the com
petition— judging on a per
centage o f w eight lost and
inches from the w aist and
hips— will remain the same as
it has been.
To create m ore winners,
individual male and female
competitions will have weight
classes, to be determined af
terweigh-ins.
O rganizers plan to have
essentially the same number
o f people in each class, so
the classifications will not be
determined until weigh-ins.

highway, building projects
H e and Tailfeathers also
brought up the idea o f de
veloping a Highway 26 way-
side area with an information
kiosk about the tribal veter

early planning stage. Calica
said he would come back to
Council w hen it is further
along.
A third idea m entioned
briefly was the Veterans me
morial that once was planned
by the m useum . T h is idea
came up a few years ago, and
then was dropped. Calica and
