My daughter, Aleah Patterson Roll# 5401, attended her fi rst Unity Conference in Arizona from Feb. 18-21. I just wanted to say that our Youth Preven- tion did an amazing job with our youth who attended. I want to say my daughter went down and enjoyed the Unity Conference and enjoyed herself, and they got her out of her shell and now she is working on getting her application in for Tribal Youth Council. hayu masi Darla Patterson Roll#1617 Comments Requested on Plans for Grand Ronde Veterans Memorial Improvements The Grand Ronde Tribe’s Veterans Memorial was built in 2001 and a couple of the four service branch pillars are running out of space. The Tribe is planning on acquiring two more pillars and incorporating them into the current memorial in a complementary manner. If you would like to comment on this planned project, please contact Tribal Council. You may e-mail them through Shannon.Ham-Texeira@grandronde.org. You may also call Tribal Council staff at 503-879-2301. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department has a Veterans and War Memorial Grant program. The Tribe is applying for funding to help aff ord the cost of the needed expansion. n Correction — A story that appeared in the Feb. 15, 2020, edition of Smoke Signals contained incorrect information provided to the newspaper regarding future Grand Ronde Road repair cost estimates. The estimated cost will be approximately $1.2 million instead of the originally reported $6 million. DEAN RHODES PUBLICATIONS COORDINATOR 503-879-1463 DANIELLE FROST TIMOTHY J.
