August 24,1979 Page 3 Hamburger trailer does business on shaky ground On the southern border of the reservation, near the Deschutes River Bridge, there is a mobile hamburger stand called the “Mini-Inn”. Its presence there is disturbing to some, and a delicious addition to the community to others. Owned and operated by Jack Joyner of Prineville, the Mini Inn boasts of oversized avocado burgers and mush room burgers. Up until he added Indian tacos and fried bread, the burgers were his best sellers. Joyner brought the trailer from Rhododendron 2 months ago. He hopes to purchase another one which he plans to park at the mill, so that employees can have leisurely half-hour lunch breaks. With a five-year lease, subject to cancellation at any time by the Tribal Council, Joyner intends to make his time in Warm Springs as profitable as possible. Because the trailer is located next door to the Information Center/ Gift Shop, and right at the eastern entrance to the reservation, shop manager Faye Waheneka would “appreciate it if they relocated the trailer. I know‘Alices’(now vacated) makes the area look dead, but I didn’t want a ghetto,” she says. As part of her goals and objectives for 1980, Waheneka plans to “beautify the area with picnic tables and umbrellas, lots of grass and a dog run.” Like the shop manager, Joyner also has similar plans. He would like to see tables, grass and a temporary structure built on the back side of the trailer so that customers can sit inside during colder weather. However, all Joyner’s plans, according to his lease, are pending approval of the Tribal Council, Land Use Planning and Enterprise Manager Ed Manion. When Joyner moved in, he brought with him the hamburger stand, two travel trailers, one for storage and one to live in he said, and large picnic tables, all of which were sitting on the pavement until last week. The lease states that Joyner is to have the hamburger trailer off the pavement and on the curb so that the driveway is not blocked in any way. The tables are to be on the curb also, and the travel trailers are not allowed at all. He is also responsible for planting grass. Early this week, Manion was informed that Joyner had begun construction of a shed like affair that was to be used during the winter. Joyner had not contacted anyone about approval of the construction. He was using the cement curb as part of the foundation, which is not allowed under present building codes.
