While the archeological study did not reveal anything that could not be worked around, the geotechnical study did. Core drilling at the site indicated a static water level at 40 feet. The solid waste committee met briefly to discuss this and decided that to protect the water resource, alternate sites should be investigated. A second site in the Dry Hollow area has had preliminary archaeological work completed and core drilling completed. This site looks feasible and is being investigated further. Call 553-4943 for more information. The S.M.A.R.T (Start Making A Reader Today) program at Warm Springs Elementary will recievc a special visitor on Monday, January 22nd. Former Oregon Governor Nctl Goldschmidt will be at the school at 9:30 a.m. S.M.A.R.T. coordinator Wanda Buslach says that Goldschimdt will also visit with the Warm Springs Tribal Council before continuing on with his Central Oregon tour of S.M.A.R.T schools. Former Governor Goldschmidt was instrumental in starting the program. S.M.A.R.T. operates on a simple system. The program has a VISTA or Amcricorps volunteer recruit local community people to read to children. The volunteer dedicates one hour a week to come in and read to children. The value of reading and books is further strengthened by the program giving two books per month to each child for them to take home. Local businesses and civic organizations provide the funding for the books, while the VISTA volunteer is paid with federal funding. The Oregon Children's Foundation administers the S.M.A.R.T. program. This is the first year for the S.M.A.R.T program at Warm Springs Elementary, and coordinator Wanda Buslach says she could still use some help. Right now there are 60 children being read to at least once a week, with the goal of having each read to twice weekly. There are also some volunteers who have "doubled" up to take two children at a time. Thirty readers are keeping S.M.A.R.T. going at Warm Springs Elementary. Buslach says she could use about 30 more people to help. Buslach also oversees the S.M.A.R.T. program at Madras Elementary. Coordinator Janice Low works in the Westside Elementary, Metolius, and Culver schools. The S.M.A.R.T. program at Warm Springs has had its fair share of ups and downs. Of course there are the usual glitches with worked together just tine for the furlough pretty much the same as they had before the federal government shut down. If you are interested in becoming a S.M.A.R.T. volunteer at Warm Springs Elementary, vou can contact either Wanda Buslach or community liasion Helena Shike Jackson at 553-1128. getting any new project going, but this year the recent federal furloughs created their own upset. Coordinator Buslach says as a VISTAAmericorps volunteer under the federal government she was sent an official letter ordering her to stay home. She refused partly because she felt that local people in the community were depending on her to be at the schools running the S.M.A.R.T. program. Wanda relates that she called in to the head office in Portland with her decision to go against the order. Her superiors then called, or at least tried to, a VISTA Americorps administrator. Phones rang up and down the West Coast, and finally the S.M.A.R.T. people were able to reach someone at the Presidio in San Francisco. The decision was made that Buslach could stay at the S.M.A.R.T. program at Warm Springs and Madras Elementary as long as she had someone in charge of her.
