Park Project One employs the unemployed, builds self-esteem
Project One Is a program designed
provide on the job training,
develop work programs beneficial to
the community and reservation, and
help people become self-sufficient.
Doug McClelland, Special
Projects Director, said, "We've tried
to pick projects that are meaningful
to the community , that tribal members
can identify with."
Project One's first undertaking is
designing and constructing Shitike
Park across from the Community
Center, and fencing the McQuinn
Strip on the North end of the Reser
vation. "Wc arc building the program
so we have the continuity...it's one
thing to hire people, another to figure
out what they really want to do. Wc
arc still developing the base pro
gram," McClelland continued.
Seventeen people arc employed
in the two Project One programs.
These arc people who were either
displaced at the mill or were on assis
tance. Frank Smith is the supervisor
in charge of McQuinn Strip fencing,
and Enos Hcrkshan supervises the
Shitike Park phase. 'They arc both
making things happen," McClelland
said, "I'm extremely happy with the
way they understand what we're
trying to do, and the way they're
carrying out the programs.
Work started on Shitike Park the
last week in June. The Park encom
passes approximately seven-and-a-half
acres, with 820 feet of Shitike
Creek frontage. Six acres will be
lawn and landscape areas. There will
be a multi-purpose basketball court,
park benches, drinking fountains,
picnic tables, barbccucs.day use area,
and R V waste station. There will also
be paths, and large open lawn area.
Rcstrooms and a playground will be
added in the future.
Dale Parker, the coordinator for
the Park Project, said, "We're pro
gressing, with most of the major
underground systems completed."
This includes irrigation, domestic
water, and sewer lines, and electrical
conduit systems. Parker said the do
mestic lateral line systems for water
fountains and an RV dump system
arc now being put in place. Most of
the master planning is done, we're
now waiting on the final details of
the landscaping plan and recom
mendations for lawn seeding. We
will be brining in the fencing crew to
help with forming for picnic tables
and barbecues."
The landscape architect is Murasc
& Associates of Portland. A repre
sentative of the firm, Brian
McCormack, has been brought in to

istration and minor in mathematics.
Saunders says his goals for WSFPI
have been outlined by the Warm
Springs Tribal Council, which also
serves as the acting board of direc
tors for the mill. The number one
priority is for WSFPI to attain prof
itability and maintain employment
for tribal members and associates
both of which fit into the Tribes
mission statement for WSFPI which
is to "maximize a long-term eco
nomic return to the Tribes through
the development of timber and human
resources.
Saunders feels that "most of the
consultants now working at WSFPI
will be phased out by the end of the
year." He added that a "couple will
be here until February." Also, the
consultants, he said, arc working in
Eositions that will eventually be filled
y regular WSFPI employees.

Parker, work on the park should be
finished by the end of November.
Phase Two of Project One will
provide a program to remove 50
Tribal Members from the unemploy
ment roles and prepare them for a
full-time, permanent job that pro
vides a level of pay that is greater
than the benefits enjoyed under the
existing welfare systems.
Projects for Phase Two include
Forestry, Kah-Ncc-Ta and Warm
Springs Forest Products. People who
arc currently on welfare will be of
fered jobs that will enhance the com
munity or reservation.
At the end of one year, those
people successfully involved in the
program will have been placed in a
permanent, full-lime job. They will
be productive members of the tribal
community, and will have been re
moved from the welfare role.

Three areas on reservation proposed for Budworm spraying
The Western Spruce Budworm
Spray Project Interdisciplinary Team
is developing an Environmental As
sessment (EA) for three areas on the
reservation where the budworm has
caused moderate to heavy defoliation
of firs. The team is seeking prelimi
nary input from the public about is
sues, concerns and opportunities re
lating to the proposed Western Spruce
Budworm Spray Project The EA will
be developed and written to follow
the guidelines and standards in the
recently adopted Integrated Resource
Management Plan.
The proposed spray project units
would be located in three areas along
the western reservation boundary.
The general areas arc south of the
Whitewater Canyon to Jefferson
Creek, east of Cedar Meadows, and
the Mount Wilson area. The proposed
area is approximately 30,000 acres
and may increase depending on the
budworm spread. The projected pe
riod for spraying is in June of 1993.
In 1988 a similar spray project
was undertaken using the same bac
teria. But, over approximately
150,000 acres of forest land west of
Highway 26. Due to the drought and
competition for growing space with
other trees, the green trees have turned
red from budworm feeding on the
new green needles. This has reduced
tree growth and may kill some trees.
We are requesting comments from
the public so we can identify your
concerns as we put this Environ
mental Assessment together. In order
to do this in a timely manner, please
respond by October 29, 1992. If you
would like more information or wish
to provide comments about the pro
posed spray project, please contact

Coordinator, at 553-2416 ext. 126.
To submit written concerns, send to

You are welcome to stop by the

The first organizational meeting
of the Warm Springs Diabetes Sup
port Croup was held Wednesday,
September 23 at 7 p.m. at the Warm
Springs Community Center. Candacc
Reich, Diabetes Program Coordina
tor, and Lucinda Green coordinated
the meeting.
The main purpose of the group is
to offer emotional support and confi
dence to people with diabetes and
their families. When you first find
out that you have diabetes, you may
be frightened or wonder "why me?"
These arc very real feelings that many
people have when they first find out
they have diabetes.
Different people have different
feelings about diabetes. The impor
tant thing is to be aware of how you
are feeling and to know that your
feelings may be different from those
of others. Also, your feelings about
diabetes may change from day to

Some members have been adopted
after appearing on the adoption bal
lot numerous times. Do you think a
limit should be set for the number of

Do you think this process should
remain as it is, or should adoption
elections be secretarial elections
conducted by the BIA?
It has been suggested that the ap

may help to talk about your feelings
with others who have the disease.
Learning to live with diabetes
takes a long time. As you learn about
diabetes, you will find out that you
need to make some changes in the
way that you live. It's always hard to
make changes. It's easy to get dis
couraged and you may even want to
stop trying. Talking to others who
are trying to make similar changes
may help.
