New school
The project manager for construction of the new school is the Wenaha Group, based in Pendleton, and majority-owned by Rob Quaempts, Umatilla tribal member.
The group is also managing other upcoming improvement projects within the district, including the Madras High School performing arts center. The architect for the projects is BBT Architects of Bend. The architects, school board and local design team have worked through the fall and winter toward the final design of the k-8 school. The main school building will be 80,000 square feet, or about the size of the Jefferson County Middle School. The school will be on 20 acres at the East Tenino-Chukar roads. The acreage will accommodate the school buildings, sports facilities, parking and so forth.
The Confederated Tribes and school district recently completed a plan of operation for the new school.
MHS projects
The two-story performing arts center will be located next to the new football stadium at the high school. The center will be an estimated 18,800 square feet. The facility will have a large stage to accommodate a band, a back stage with a green room, which will double as a practice facility and waiting room for stage productions, dressing rooms, makeup rooms and storage space.

The issue of overpopulation of unclaimed horses is complex and contentious. This fact is demonstrated by a recent development within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the tribal response to the development. The problem at hand is the prevalence of horses roaming across rangeland, much of which is tribal reservation land. Tribes participating in our organization occupy trust lands of nearly 20 million acres, said Jason Smith, President of the National Tribal Horse Coalition. Smith, of the Warm Springs Natural Resources Branch, made the statement in a recent letter to Secretary of the Agriculture Thomas Vilsack. His letter outlines the complicated nature of the horse-slaughter issue, pointing out, for instance, that the present federal policy will inflict greater suffering to horses, and economic and environmental hardship to Tribal nations.

Cigarette tax refund to the Tribe has been consistent over the years.
average annual per capita consumption of cigarettes in Oregon multiplied by the number of enrolled Warm Springs tribal members multiplied by the Oregon cigarette tax rate per package. For 2012 the Tribes refund was $282,901. This was calculated as follows: average packs of cigarettes per Oregonian is 47, times 2011 Tribal enrollment of 5,101 members, times $1.18 state tax per cigarette pack equals $282,901.46. As you can see from the chart, the cigarette tax refunds to the Tribe has been consistent from year to year. This refund to the Tribe is

MAC levy
When State voting ballots arrive in the mail next month, War m Springs voters in Jefferson County will have an opportunity to vote on the Madras Aquatic Center (MAC) Recreation District Operations Levy once again. This levy was supported by Warm Springs voters in November, but lost overall by 171 votes. Supporters of the levy are asking the Warm Springs voters to send in a Yes vote for this levy once more. Support from War m Springs voters will assure that there are plenty of ways for youth and adults to develop healthy lifestyles through recreation. The MAC Recreation District wants to continue of offer a variety of choices for all ages, and this vote is needed to reach that goal and keep the programs going. This levy will increase the property taxes of off reservation property owners by 40 cents per $1,000 of property value. Currently, the MAC is home to a variety of recreational programs that are funded by a grant from the Bean Foundation. War m Springs participants are participating in nearly all of the activities.

Election
On Monday, March 18, 2013, the Twenty-Fifth Tribal Council passed a motion to have each member of the Tribes Election Board and employees of Vital Statistics to take a polygraph examination. Not every member present was in favor of such test, but the Tribal Council decided it would dispel any further questions from both certain Tribal Council and various community members. I am not sure of the exact reason or ground for the test, but as I understood, some members of the Tribal Council felt the board members needed to take the test because they did not trust the members of the board, as did some of their constituents from their district. Accordingly, each member of the Election Board took the test and all members have passed the test. With that said, we all can agree and conclude the election for the

Twenty-Sixth Tribal Council was fair, ethical and honest with solid integrity. With this conclusion also come all past and previous elections and referendums. As I have stated before in previous elections, there is literally no way any member of the board can alter, interfere or change the results of the election without a coalition of the other members in a multiple conspiracy. Additionally, such conspiracy would also have the involvement of the Superintendent and Governmental Affairs Director. Some of the cloak and dagger stories are pretty farfetched and some are totally hilarious. This year the election process was again monitored and supervised by the BIA Superintendent, Director of Governmental Affairs and Planning, and when the results were tallied the Tribal Secretary-Treasurer/CEO. I would like to thank Vehicle Pool for allowing the Election Board to use one of their cars, Chief Operations Officer Urbana Ross for the snacks and drinks for the
staff, Olivia Wallulatum and Lucille Suppah-Sampson from Vital Statistics for their hard work for the election. I also want to thank the Paiute Chief Joe Moses and Agency Councilman Austin Greene for your support. All of the above named people worked as a team for the election and I think we have all done a good job. On Wednesday, April 10, 2013, the BIA Superintendent announced his findings and decision on the challenges that were submitted. The election and results were affirmed by his office. The results of the election for the Twenty-Sixth Tribal Council is an accurate reflection of the will of the membership by each district, the people voted in the Council, now it is up to us to support them.

must be diagnosed with PreDiabetes, which means the person is at higher risk of getting diabetes. The persons blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but no high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes. If interested in being tested or more information on how the DPP can help you, call Joy Ramirez at 5530118 or Stefanie Hurtado at 553-1079.
Vesta credits Carol Prevost, IHS chief executive officer, and Montell ElliottDiabetes Prevention Program staff, Winona Stwyer, former DPP staff, and national speaker/motivator Tony Robbins with saving her life. In July of 2012, the Tony Robbins Conference changed her life and taught overcoming fear and being healthy is a reachable goal. Winona shared life stories and information on being a participant, and Montell explained her personal experiences with becoming more physically active (as vesta states became a health freak). In the program she says she learned a foundational education. The cooking class and, sharing of foods to make healthier choices, helped her reach her goals. Vesta says the class was helpful in learning more about the reading of labels and understanding fat grams.
Practicing being mindful when eating has also been an important part of learning for her. Vesta states that the Diabetes and the Diabetes Prevention Program staff are here to change peoples lives. They can motivate you to care for yourself. So, were the healthy changes hard to do? Vesta said that it took some time. But now, with eating fruits and veggies and less fried foods while drinking lots of water, it has become part of taking care of herself. The Diabetes Prevention Program is actually designed to make small, do-able changes for each individual to lead and continue a healthy lifestyle. In closing, Vestas message for the community regarding prevention of diabetes: When you love yourself enough to change eating habits and exercise, life becomes beautiful and the DPP is here to support you.

3. That there was a conflict of interest among members of the Elections Board and Counting Board members. 4. That the Election Day runner compromised some of the ballots. 5. That the Council shall appoint an Election/Counting Board for each election and that the current officials were
selected by the Twenty-Fourth Tribal Council; and therefore were not valid. Halliday addresses each objection in a memorandum to Tribal Council: 1. While the notices of election mail outs were somewhat confusing, the corrected information was sent with the proper timeframe. 2. The Ordinance 44, dated March 6, 1968, says under Council eligibility that the person have no felony conviction. I have reviewed evidence provided by a credible source, and based on that information none of the elected candidates have been convicted of a felony, Halliday says. 3. While there are elec-
tions officials who have close family ties to candidates, the ordinance says that such officials shall not be appointed to such positions in an elections where they may personally have an interest. Halliday says, In this election I witnessed that elections officials were appointed to such positions within the election where they separated duties as to not have a personal interest. In other words they did not handle materials that may be in a compromised form or open to manipulation from any voting districts where there may be a conflict of interest. 4. Halliday says, I personally counted how many ballots (the runner) left with and
then upon his return counted exactly how many he returned with; so that only the proper number of ballots cast by voters were placed in the voting box, and that the exact count of excess ballots were returned to the uncast ballot stack. 5. Tribal Council Resolution No. 11,184 appointed the Election Board and Counting Board, and states that Term expires: Serve until replaced). Based on the above, Halliday concludes, I am in accord with the Confederated Tribes of War m Springs Tribal Council Resolution No. 11,745 certifying the 2013 Twenty-Sixth Tribal Council Election results.

Finding of No Significant Environmental Impact: K-8 School
The USDA Rural Development (RD) has received an application for financial assistance from the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs for their proposed K8 New School Construction Project. The proposed project was described in the USDA RD Notice of the Availability of an Environmental Assessment. This public notice was published in the Spilyay Tymoo on March 6th and 20th, 2013, with a 30-day comment period. No comments were received. As required by the National Environmental Policy Act, RD has assessed the potential environmental impacts of this proposed project and has determined that the proposal will not have a significant effect on the human environment. Therefore, RD will not prepare an environmental impact statement for this proposed action. This determination is based on analysis that indicates that the proposed project will have no significant impact to important land resources, cultural resources, biological resources, water quality, or other areas of environmental concern. USDA is publishing this notice in accordance with Section 106 of the NHPA review. Copies of the Environmental Assessment are available for review at U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Attn: State Environmental Coordinator, 1201 NE Lloyd Blvd, Suite 801, Portland, OR 97232-1274, or locally at the Tribal Natural Resources Building, 4223 Holliday Street, Warm Springs, OR 97761.

Wilford William Sooksoit Jr., (Tux-akul-us), 1957-2012 Wilford William Wiggy Sooksoit Jr., was born in Redmond, Oregon on August 15, 1957 to Wilford Sr. Winbuck and Ada (Moses) Sooksoit. Wiggy passed to be with his Creator on November 2, 2012 at St. Charles Medical Hospital in Bend with his family by his side. Wiggy was a lifelong resident of Warm Springs and attended in schools in Warm Springs and Madras. He was recognized as a champion fancy and traditional dancer during his youth and teenage years, traveling to many powwows with his family throughout Indian Country. Wiggy also was taught by his elders and mother the Washut and Medicine singing worship and participated in many longhouses. With his foundation, he made many friends and was close to all his relatives, near and far. Wiggy had a curious nature about him, allowing him to gain knowledge of Indian ways in other tribal customs and traditions. He traveled long distances and was happy to share what he found and learned. Wiggy was especially to talk about the many people he met along the way. His sense of humor made his stories fun and interesting and made people laugh. During his adult years, Wiggy was recognized and respected to be asked, by his elders, to fulfill the duties of Whipman for the longhouse, which he accepted. He served for many years until his death. Wiggy will be missed, not only by his friends, but especially by his family. He is survived by his sisters, Barbara Poncho and family, Nancy Sooksoit, Wilma Sooksoit; and brothers Marcus Sooksoit, Charley Strom; aunts Adeline Miller and family, Eileen Spino and Phyllis Strong, Lucinda Green and family, Roma Cartney and family, uncle Ellison (Alley) David and family, numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, sisters Marceline (Charley) Johnson, Deanna (Charley) Thompson, brother William Sooksoit and daughter Ursula Edna.

In his letter Tribal Council Chairman Smith writes: To reinstate the ban on USDA inspectors for horse meat for human consumption will not only continue a period of nearly seven years of unnecessary suffering and abuse of horses, but will also have severe economic and detrimental environmental effects on Tribal communities across this land. Such an action warrants tribal consultation before implementation, Chairman Smith said.
Letter to USDA
Our reason for stepping into this rather unpopular fight is that the U.S. policy could be taking another wrong turn of historic significance...
the consequences are no longer unintended. Proponents of an inspection ban do this knowing that it will inflict greater suffering to horses, and economic and environmental hardship to Tribal nations. We in Indian Country know that our ability to affect Congressional action is often restricted when our voice is overridden in populist, popular and special interest forums of the majority culture. The emotional fervor of groups advocating for a ban on equine slaughter is a current case of this phenomena. Our reason for stepping into this rather unpopular fight is that the U.S. policy could be taking another wrong turn of historic significance for the trust lands in much of Indian Country. Indian Country has long been subjected to the whims of the Congress of the United States. Federal lawmakers make policy in law that has far reaching impacts on the lands held in trust for the benefit of the Indian owners (Tribes and individuals): For example, the General Allotment Act (and related acts) had far reaching impacts for both the U.S. Treasury and to the Indian Country. Many of these Indian Country lands have recently seen the settlement of long-standing disputes of both policy and management issues with the United States (i.e. Cobell and Keepseagle) where federal
Jason Smiths letter to Secretary Vilsack, providing the best summary of the issue, is worth reprinting here in its entirety: Dear Mr. Secretary, The National Tribal Horse Coalition (NTHC) is aware that a spokesman from your agency is now urging Congress to reinstate the ban on production of horse meat for human consumption. The NTHC strongly opposes reinstatement of a policy that will have such severe detrimental consequences to our Tribal economies and fragile ecosystems. Tribes participating in our organization occupy trust lands of nearly 20 million acres. Those who are advocating renewing the 2007 Appropriations Budget ban on horse meat inspections ignore the real world consequences of that ban. These are the findings of a Government Accountability Office (GAO) inquiry into Horse Welfare in relation to the termination of USDA horse meat inspectors, June 2011. The GAO report concluded: Clearly the cessation of domestic slaughter has had unintended consequences, most importantly, perhaps, the decline in horse welfare in the United States. If that policy is reinstated,
Earlier this year, following the 2011 legislation, the USDA was close to approving a horse meat processing facility in New Mexico. Then, unexpectedly, word came that a Department of Agriculture spokesperson was urging Congress to continue the ban on horse-meat inspections. This prompted Jason Smith to write to the Secretary of Agriculture. Other tribal leaders from the National Tribal Horse Coalition also wrote to the Secretary. Tribal Council Chairman Stanley Buck Smith addressed the topic in a letter to President Obama.
Executive Agencies have settled Tribal and individual Indian claims stemming from both bad policy made by Congress and poorly executed management and policy on the part of the departments and agencies of the United States. The March 21, 2013 article posted in Foodsafety.com reflect policy advocacy in a quote from you referring to a third way of dealing with the nations horse problem other than slaughtering the animals for human consumption. Mr. Secretary, we want to emphasize that the arguments around horse slaughter are all about imposing cultural mores of special interest groups from majority American culture on others. We have experienced this often in the past. Though we have always highly valued the horse in our cultures, we also understand the lands we live on. We also are subject to the economics of the society we must participate in. We cannot afford to ignore the role of the horse as livestock that needs management. We own horses we value highly and honor but we know ultimately that nature will destroy our herds if we cannot manage them. Our childrens children will be left with a greatly diminished future. We in Indian Country do not relish the concept of slaughtering horses; however, the scope of the overgrazing impacts to our lands are degrees of magnitude greater than for the owners of private lands in the rest of the U.S. Private landowners can simply chase dumped livestock out of the gates of their pastures, with little effort or consequence. We, on the other hand, control large stretches of (often arid) lands that we rely on for subsistence use, economic use, and cultural practices where illegally dumped horses are in many cases already threatening watershed and ecosystem stability on our trust lands. Other than shipping horses to Canada or Mexico (which some are already forced to do at an economic loss) or trying to sell locally (on a market that is so depressed that roundup costs exceed sale proceeds and supply overwhelms demand). Some have
tried adoption, to little avail. Demand is always swamped by the reproductive capacity of the herds. We do not have funding available to sterilize large numbers of horses and if we did, they would still be overgrazing for another human generation until the sterilized horses died. We do not have the 25-plus years to wait around and see if a failed third party alternative will solve the nations problem. The trust responsibility of the whole United States government must be lived up to.
Badly informed policy (i.e. the 2007 inspections ban) has had unintended consequences and must not be repeated. We look forward to dialoguing with you further on this issue. We are engaging our member tribal governments to request that they demand government-to-government consultation on this issue. Sincerely, Jason Smith, President, National Tribal Horse Coalition.
