Job opportunity gives tribal
member a chance to shine
TREVOR AARON has been work
ing in Information Systems at the Ca
sino for a few months, and loves it. It is
a behind the scenes position work
ing with computers, and that is right up
his alley. Trevor was working for Com
plete Software Solutions in Salem when
he heard the Casino was looking for
computer technicians. Being a tribal
member with roots in the community,
it sounded like a great opportunity. "I
was pleased to hear that this position
offers more money than I was earning
at the time," said Trevor. "There was a
certain pride about working here, also.
It was much closer to home, too. Over
all it was the best thing that could have
happened to me at the time."
Trevor began his career in computer work at the tribal offices, where managers gave him
a chance to receive training on the office system and learn about all the software the Tribe
uses. It was after the experience he gained at the Tribe that he was offered a position with
Complete Software Solutions.
"Without New Horizons Learning Center and Complete Software Solutions, I would still
be looking for direction in my career," Trevor said.
Trevor likes his job because he is given assigned tasks, and the freedom and tools neces
sary to complete the job at hand. He said, "I tend to be more productive when left alone
with a task, if I am given clear direction."
As a tribal member working at the Casino, Trevor says that he is proud of the good things
the Casino can help provide for members. He is from a family that is very active within the
Tribe, its activities, and committees, and keeps informed of all the programs and benefits
that are being established.
He would like to see the Casino become a premiere destination on the West Coast, which
provides a family-oriented good time for everyone.

The Native American
band REDBONE
will open for THE
MARSHALL
TUCKER BAND at the
Casino on Thursday,
November 7. Tickets
are still available. The
word Redbonc began as
a Cajun word meaning
half-breed. Now it
means four Native
American performers
who have sold over 22
million albums and singles worldwide, cur
rently have a hot-selling CD distributed by
WEA, once held number one on the Bill
board singles charts for 16 weeks running,
and are now packing in major venues like
the Foxwood Casino in Connecticut.
To date, Redbone has released 12 albums.
Their new WEA Avenue release, Redbone
Live, continues their successful tradition.
Redbone was recently nominated to the
prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in
Cleveland, and have also been honored by
the Smithsonian Institution as the first Na
tive American Rock and Roll band, and were
nominated in February of 1994 for the first
Native American Arts Award.
For two decades, The Marshall Tucker
Band has entertained sold-out audiences,
wowed critics, and influenced hot country re
cording acts like the Kentucky Headhunters,
Confederate Railroad, and Travis Tritt with
its definitive blend of rock, rhythm and blues,
jazz, country, and gospel.
"The buying public never really cared
whether we were country or rock and roll,"
says founding member Doug Gray. "They
called us southern rock, but we played
everything. We're still playing the same
songs, but now the times have changed,
j -f "1
, V vf hp - '
REDBONE
we're playing to more of a country audi
ence than in the past."
The Marshall Tucker Band got its start in
Spartanburg, South Carolina, when Gray
teamed up with Tommy and Toy Caldwell.
They borrowed the name Marshall Tucker
from a piano tuner in the area and signed
with Capricorn Records, the label that rock
eted the Allman Brothers to national fame.
The band first teamed up with the Allman
Brothers in 1973. The following year they
were headliners.
With six gold and two platinum albums,
the group's music is still played today on
rock and country radio stations. In the
1990's, the band scored five hit singles on
Billboard's country chart. Their music can
be heard on the movie soundtracks oi Smoky
and the Bandit, The Pursuit of D.B. Coo
per, and Shipwrecked. Their latest album,
Walk Outside The Lines, was released by
Cabin Fever Music.
Country singer, DOUG STONE is
scheduled to play on Thursday, De
cember 5. For tickets please call Spirit
Mountain Ticket Sales at 879-2350 or 1-800-760-7977.
