Timber Sale Nets Millions
A few hours of oral bidding
August 1 resulted in a substan
tia] increase in the treasury of
the Confederated Tribes when
Brooks-Scanlon offered $3,260,-
005 for the Chinkapin logging
unit on the reservation’s Mc-
,Quinn Strip.
“This is a record sale as far
as value received,” said acting
B.I.A. forest manager Bob Bol
ton. The B.I.A. appraised the
13,520,000 board feet of timber at
$1,474,410, but Brooks-Scanlon
and Publishers Paper Company
(Estacada) battled “nip and
tuck” for six hours, pressing
well beyond the $3 million mark.
Payment for the sale will be
received monthly as the timber
is cut. Brooks-Scanlon expects to
remove the timber over a three
year period — two million board
feet this season and the balance
in 1979 and 1980.
Six bidders from both sides
of the mountains competed for
.the sale, which Bolton termed
“attractive.” Not only is the size
and quality of the timber out
standing, but it is easily acces
sible from the east or west, he
said.
Timber sales on the Mc-
Quinn Strip are open only to the
public, disqualifying Warm
Springs Forest Products Indus
tries from competition until 1992,
according to the 1972 legislation
that returned the mis-surveyed
land to the Tribes.
The B.I.A. lays out timber
sales, appraises the timber at
fair market value, and adver
tises to potential buyers. Sealed
bids accompanied by $44,000
checks are recorded and an open
oral auction held.
On the Chinkapin logging
unit, ponderosa and white pine
were appraised at $45 per thou
sand board feet, and the high bid
was $193. Douglas fir and larch
were appraised at $114 and sold
for $273.50. White fir and other
species, appraised at $90, went
for $166.
Stiff competition from
Mountain Fir Lumber Company
(Tygh Valley), Crown-Zeller-
bach, Vanport Manufacturing
Company (Estacada),.and Loui
siana-Pacific (Prineville) was
partly responsible for the inflat
ed bidding. But behind that is
the fact that the construction
business is going strong and
providing a solid market for
lumber, a situation that may not
last as interest rates on house
loans rise.
Kah-NeeTa Restaurants Are Unrated

No Shots-No School
The State of Oregon is tak
ing a firm stand on the Com
pulsory School Immunization
Law this year and will deny
enrollment to any student be
tween the ages of 5 and 14 who
has not had the required shots.
The immunization law which
was amended by the 1977 legis
lative assembly provides that a
child must be fully immunized
at the time of enrollment. The
30-day “grace period” has been
eliminated for Oregon children
initially entering school, and the
“grace period” for out-of-state
transfer students has been short
ened from 60 to 30 days.
Rubella has also been added
to the list of required immuniz-.
ations.
The law states that only a
statement providing a religious
AGE
or medical excuse will be ac
cepted in lieu of the required
shots.
According to the Health Di
vision of the Department of
Human Resources, Oregon
schools are still experiencing
outbreaks of vaccine-prevent
able diseases. The outbreaks
unnecessarily expose school
children and their families to
complications of the diseases.
On the reservation most
children have already been in-
noculated, but PHS Health Edu
cator Lee Loomis believes that
about half of the children enter
ing kindergarten this year are
not current or have not received
the required shots.
The following list outlines
the minimum number of immu
nizations required for school

Wasco County Health offi
cial Dennis Illingsworth inspect
ed the River Room Restaurants
at Kah-Nee-Ta four weeks ago,
finding it necessary to degrade
the standing ‘A‘ rating to a ‘C’
rating. He gave management
two weeks to clean up the con
ditions which made it necessary
to change the rating. At the time
of his initial inspection, Illings
worth did not check the lodge
restaurants and kitchen failities.
When he returned to the
River Room two weeks later,
Illingsworth found conditions
improved, but decided to leave
the restaurant unrated for a
month. This was to see if the
conditions really were changed
for good, not just temporarily.
At the same time, Illingsworth
inspected the lodge facilities
finding them in unsatisfactory
condition. He “unrated” the
lodge facilities, giving the man
agement there time to bring
them up to accS|)table stand
ards.
Some of the violations Il
lingsworth discovered affect the
safety of the food which is
served. Soup, he found, was not
kept at or above 140 degrees,
which is required by law. Some
uncooked hamburger patties
were left on counter tops, caus
ing their temperatures to rise
above the required 45 degrees.
Some walk-in coolers were even
above the required 45 degrees.
Ed Manion, Enterprise Man
ager and Bill Pauli, Resort
manager, are in agreement with
Illingsworth’s inspection. Al
though they feel he may have hit
on “nit-picky” things such as an
ice scoop left in an ice bin and
window cleaner inadvertently
put on a shelf with catsup and
mustard.
One regulation that is hea
vily violated is the walk-in and
freezer storage. The ruling
states there has to be “off the
floor storage” within coolers
and freezers, and nothing can be
kept on the floor. Illingsworth
entered a walk-in and could
move around only by stepping
on or over cartons and boxes on
the floor.
Pauli stated that the staff at
both kitchens are beginning to
give the facilities complete and
continual care and are improv
ing all housekeeping habits.
When the Indian Health Ser
vice hires a sanitarian, Illings
worth feels that the improper
training of Kah-Nee-Ta restau
rant personnel will be less hap
hazard. A sanitarian could be
very helpful, perhaps resulting
in fewer problems for the res
taurants, he added.
Local Youths Injured In Cycle Accident
After spending eight days in
St. Charles Medical Center,
Jimmy Manion, son of Ed and
Urbana Manion, was released
last week. He is home recuper
ating and walking a little, but
spends most of his days lying
down.
Manion, and Bob Macy Jr.,
both 17, were involved in a
motor cycle accident Thursday,
July 27.
The two boys were practic
ing for a moto-cross on a hill on
Tenino Road, commonly used by
cyclists, when they collided
head-on. They were both taken
to Mt. View Hospital where
Macy was released after treat
ment for cuts and bruises. Man
ion was later transferred to
Bend where he was hospitalized
with nerve damage and injuries
to his right side.
COCC Budget Okayed,
Warm Springs Helps
Despite the heat, enough
voters made it to the polls to say
“Yes” to Central Oregon Com
munity College’s $2 million
budget levy Tuesday.
Although the final tabula
tions from the six-county district
are not yet all in, the unofficial
count revealed that 4,001 voters
favored the levy and 3,115 said
“No”.
In Jefferson County, where
barely 15 percent of the voters
turned out, the levy lost by one
vote - 395 “Yes” and 396 “No”.
. ‘/But Warm Springs really
helped us out,” remarked Coun
ty Clerk Elaine Henderson. The
Warm Springs tally was 60
“yes” and only 4 “no”.
It was the third try for the
COCC budget levy and the Warm
Springs precinct approved it by
the largest margin of any in the
district. A suggestion was of
fered that perhaps the extreme
heat only affects the “no” voters
in Warm Springs.
On May 23 during the unsuc
cessful second levy try, Warm
Springs also maintained its un
broken support of COCC with a
tally of 58 “yes” and 26 “no”.
