The Museum At Warm Springs
hosted the "Quiltcrs of the Wasco,
Warm Springs, Pauite" opening on
January 12, 1996. The showing will
continue through March 8, 1996.
Approximately twenty different
Quilters entered their work, with
some entering one quilt and others
submitting up to 5 quilts. The sizes
range from wall hangs, baby quilts to
king size quilts. Some are family
heirlooms and others made especially
for the quilt show.
The Museum tried a different ap
proach and had the opening during
the day from 1 1 a.m. to 1 p.m. which
proved to be effective due to the
number of people showing for the
opening.

Archaeological and geotechnical
studies were completed on the
Wilford Canyon Landfill. 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. Wanda
says in the end, she and Dawn Smith
