Contact: Mala Pope or Jeanne Larsen . at (503) 390-5904 y By Courtney Gallagher Since I started my reign as Senior Miss Grand Ronde, I have been really busy. As a Senior at Jesuit High School, I have been preparing myself for college. Studying, filling out college papers, working out on the varsity softball team, and participating in school activities such as the holiday food drive, being selected from my class to go to the Re publican Mock Convention at Pacific University, and serv ing as a student receptionist for our school's President's Dinner has taken up most of my time. I attended the Chemawa Pow-wow, the Moonlight Pour of Martha Jane Sands, and the opening of the beautiful Spirit Mountain Casino. It is great to be able to represent and meet our tribal people at events. I have been privileged to have had some of our elders come to my home for lunch. Being Senior Miss Grand Ronde is a wonderful way to learn our traditions, meet new people, and represent our tribe in a positive way. Attending pow-wows had been one of my favorite things to do. I feel very proud to follow our Color Guard into Grand Entry. It is fun to talk to the Whipman, dance, listen to drums, greet other royalty, shop, and meet all the pow-wow people. With the help of my grandfather, Leonard Vivette, I plan to take the rest of our royalty to the beach to share with them the way to gather mussels and prepare them for chowder. I am looking forward to attending the Pi-Um-Sha Pow wow and representing our people in Warm Springs. I will also be attending pow-wows in Washington, the Siletz pow wow, and any other activity I am requested to attend. f SPRINGFIELD INDIAN EDUCATION PROGRAM HONOR POW-WOW Springfield High School, 875 N. 7th, Springfield, OR Friday, May 3 Grand Entry at 7 p.m. The Honor Pow-wow is sponsored and put on by the Springfield Indian Education Program.

Sponsored by Grand Ronde Veterans' Committee New Business Start-up The start-up period for any business is a very trying time. A great deal of time and energy needs to be invested in order to get the business on its feet and running smoothly. Learn from your early experiences so you will do things more efficiently and not repeat mistakes. Before you open for business, make sure you have sufficient operating capital for about three months. This is about the time you will reach your break-even point. Following is a sample start-up table for a house painting business. (The table is based on a one person, home-based operation which will do about 20 jobs per month at an average size of approximately 2,000 square feet per job for projected annual gross sales of $48,000 at the low end. The high end example reflects a house painting business operating from an 800 square foot facility with three crews of painters. Each crew averages approximately 20 jobs per month of about 4,000 square feet each for projected gross sales of $288,000. The suggested operating costs (SOC) for each business is based on the capital needed to run the business for the first three months of operation.)
