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.

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.)

In the next coloumn, let's look at a projected start-up for
a pizzeria. (Start-up costs are based on an 800 square foot
to-go pizzeria with projected gross sales of $600,000
annually at the low end. The high end operation reflects a
2,500 square foot full-service pizzeria with projected gross
sales of $1,500,000 annually.)
