Candidate for school district board
To candidates
Here are some questions
I would like the Tribal
Council candidates to think
about:
· What challenge will be
the most problematic for
you to better; and what ap-
proach will you use to move
it along for positive change
for the Confederated Tribes
of Warm Springs?
· For many years our
community has been work-
ing with the alcohol and
drug difficulties. I am
pleased with recent pro-
grams, but other behaviors
should be introduced to
tribal members, such as
family significance, moral
values, personal etiquette,
display of respect of oth-
ers, work ethics, etc.
Knowing the traditional
customs and cultural are
important to some and not
to some, what other direc-
tives could you suggest to
our legislative committees
to reach our tribal programs
to better our people?
· Much education is
needed by tribal member
leaders for a development
process to arrive at an ef-
fective tribal business eco-
nomic business program
for the tribe.
How many of you have
successfully completed a
business course? And how
much of that course in-
volved knowing Indian Law
when it comes to Indian
Country?
· How many of the fed-
eral regulations, standards,
policies and law have you
dealt with?
· Is our tribal organiza-
tion considered a non-
profit? What does that in-
volve?
I would strongly suggest
a workshop with our tribal
attorneys to fully under-
stand what our non-profit
classification actually means.
· Are you familiar with
the idea that, if elected onto
the Tribal Council, you’d be
able to bring or suggest new
approaches to tribal ways of
doing business? Example:
Much of the voting going
to our tribal members has
been voted on before hav-
ing all the major ducks in a
row. Can it be voted on
with two choices: Voting for
Plan A or Plan B; and of
course, not supporting it at
all.
· What would you sug-
gest for the re-opening of
Kah-Nee-Ta Village alone,
and turning the lodge into
another business? What
would those suggestions be?

H ello, Warm Springs
community,
My name is Casandra

I am an enrolled mem-

my success.
My

the local school board for
22 years, on the state
school board for eight
years, and the national
school board for eight
years.
I am honored to have
his support and guidance
as I advocate for our
community and our chil-
dren within the school
board.
My goal will always be
to empower parents to be

Healthy Living looks at the nutrition label
R eading nutrition facts
labels is a good way to
educate yourself about
what you are eating.
At the top of the nu-
trition facts box is the
serving size followed by
calories per serving.
Take a look to see if
you are getting one or two
servings because you will
be getting twice the calo-
ries if that bag of chips
or candy is actually two
servings.
Remember, calories
are a measure of how
much energ y comes
from fat, carbs, and pro-
tein of one serving.
The breakdown of
how much fat, carbs and
protein is the next section.
The next section tells
you about the vitamins
and mineral content. If
that section is has 0 per-
cent, then the food has
little or no nutrition
value.
Next time you are in
the store, take a look at
the nutrition facts of a
candy bar- that is an ex-
ample of empty calories.
