18 Smoke Signals AUGUST 1, 2019 Honoring Quigley INDEPENDENT TRIBAL PRESS ORDINANCE OPEN FOR COMMENT Photos by Danielle Frost From left, Karen Quigley, past executive director for the Legislative Commission on Indian Services, and Grand Ronde Tribal Council Chairwoman Cheryle A. Kennedy catch up during Quigley’s retirement party held at Willamette University College of Law on Thursday, July 25. Quigley retired in late 2018 after nearly 24 years at the helm of LCIS, and more than 28 working for the State of Oregon. Her retirement party drew approximately 30 attendees from the state’s nine Tribes, governmental officials, friends and family. She and husband Bill Clumpner plan to enjoy retirement together. “This is a special chance to pause and think of how fortunate I’ve been in my work life with LCIS,” she said. “Over the next year we will travel, take in new sights, have new experiences and start thinking about what comes next. I have no definite plans for what that may be, but know something good is ahead.” The Tribal Council is considering amendments to the Independent Tribal Press Ordinance. The proposed amendments were given a First Reading at the July 17, 2019, Tribal Council meeting. The purpose of the proposed amendments is to (1) provide addi- tional background and purpose information, (2) clarify that Smoke Signals journalists, when acting in their official employment capac- ity, may not be fired or suspended solely due to the content of their reporting, (3) clarify press funding process and training obligations, (4) provide for remote Editorial Board meeting participation, (5) clar- ify legal representation obligations, and (6) include minor technical (i.e., formatting and typographical) modifications. Tribal Council invites comment on the proposed amendments to the Independent Tribal Press Ordinance. For a copy of the proposed amendments, please contact the Tribal Attorney’s Office at 503-879- 4664.
