8 Smoke Signals New transportation senice is available A new bus service connects the cities of Dallas, Monmouth, . Independence and Salem. ujqqJ After years of hard work and planning, Polk County is excited to announce the beginning of expanded transportation services. The Chemeketa Area Regional Transportation Service (CARTS) expanded services to Central Polk County area residents on October 18. The new service began operating transportation services connecting the cities of Dallas, Monmouth, Independence and Salem. Hopefully the future will include Grand Ronde. "This type of service (scheduled bus service) has been needed for a long time, and will improve the quality of lives of many Polk County residents by connecting them to jobs, medical facilities and social services," said Marsha Clark, the Polk County Human Services Director. Routes operate Monday through Friday, and depart regularly from the Polk County Courthouse. Presently, this service is being provided by Wheels Community Transpor tation, through a contract with the Salem Area Mass Transit District. The service is available to any person who wishes to ride on the system. For more information or questions, please call Wheels at (503) 585-5187 or Polk County Commission for Children and Families at (503) 623-9664.

(mr& feRSe iiissft ss&s Now is the time to start thinking about joining the Grand Ronde Royalty Court! Participating in the Royalty Court is an excellent chance for young tribal women to represent the Tribe in a positive way. It does require commitment and time, but it is a tremendous honor. There will be dance, protocol, craft and speaking classes that will help prepare you to be on Royalty. Any young lady who would like to participate in Royalty to gain experience may as a Princess, and not compete this year for a Queen position. We encourage any interested young lady who is a tribal member and between the ages of 5 and 21 to join us. Personal contacts can be made with: LeonetteGalligher (503)879-5061 Claudia Leno (503) 879-5892 or Terry Warren (541)726-7535 Application form must be sent to Royalty Board 47225 SW. Hebo Rd., Grand Ronde, OR. 97347. Grand Ronde Royalty Court guidelines: Participants must be enrolled members of the Grand Ronde Tribe, drug and alcohol-free, childless, and never married. If school age, must be attending school (private or public) full-time. The age categories are: Miss Tiny Tot 5-7; Jr. Miss 8-12; Sr. Miss 13-17; and Miss Grand Ronde 18-21. The girls must be within these ages by January 15, 2000. Participants must have their own regalia.

However, the chosen queens will receive stipends and a budget for travel expenses for attending required events. The Royalty Court and their families must show good judgement by not participating in any activity that could bring adverse publicity to themselves or the Tribe. Participants must have a parent or sponsor who is willing to assist them in attending required events, and help with activities that Royalty is involved with. All members of Royalty must comply with the guidelines and the Royalty agreement. The deadline for submitting an application is February 29, 2000.
