Please watch your speed
Parents & community members:
Please be cautious, observe the
15 mph speed limit in front of the
school, and talk with yourchild about
looking for cars before crossing the
street. We've had a few close calls
with children running out in front of
cars and people driving too fast in
front of the school.
Want to make your child's day?
Find some time to drop by the school
to eat lunch with your child or vol
unteer to read a story to the class.
Check with the teacher or office for

Reading Tip
Your child is reading aloud to you
and comes to a word she doesn't
know. Should you ask her to "sound
it out"? Not always, since this inter
rupts the flow of the story. It's also
frustrating for kids. Instead, wait a
moment-then call out the word your
self. It's more important for her to
enjoy the story.

included guest speakers from
throughout the community, Dental
Sealants, Body Fat measuring and
general health, safety and cultural
education.
The dental clinic was closed for
these two mornings because eighth

molars sealed. This process is also
done when they are in second grade,
when their molars are coming in.
Austin Greene was available to
measure the amount of body fat in
the students' bodies, if they wanted
to. Greene is the Manager of the
Community Wellness Center.
There are 93 eighth grade students
from Warm Springs who were sent
home with consent forms and 13

(Spilyay asks "Whats Up?")
What type of new business do you feel is needed in Warm Springs and
whiz?
Mary Sando-Emhoolah, "The
businesses I'd like to see for our
community are all of the services we
utilize, Banks, Dr.'s, Car Dealerships,
Shopping Centers Etc. We could
further simplify our lives by having
these services available locally and
provide more job and business op
portunities for our community."
Carol Stevens, "We need a Bank,
so that we are able to cash checks and
do all our banking needs without
leaving Warm Springs. With over
3,300 people in Warm Springs, we
need to keep and circulate our money
on the Reservation. Going to Madras
is always so time consuming.

Roger Stwyer,"We need a car
dealer (DMV licensed). Everyone
drives a car but must travel and spend
time searching for the car to buy.
An insurance agency would be
beneficial. A store, Post Office, and
child care is needed in the Simnasho
area. More businesses geared towards
younger people. Such as a bowling
ally, (quality) Pizza parlor, theater,
and musicstereo store. Whatever
money we spend Off-Reservation, a
potential market exists here on the
Reservation from those businesses.
Also, we need to start developing
elsewhere besides in Warm Springs.
Perhaps Miller Flat or Sidwalter ar
eas. The money earned here should
be spent here, benefiting the com
munity, rather than lining others
pockctbooks.

Danny Martinez, "We need an
Employee Credit Union, to serve
employees and to provide loans. A
Credit Union would promote incen
tive and allow money in Warm
Springs to circulate. It would also
assist people to establish their own
business on the Reservation.
Emma Smith, "We are speaking of
legit businesses right?! Our community
really needs a dependable laundry-mat
with large and small washing machines
and dependable small and large dryers
and that is open. A dry cleaning business
would be nice, to be added on to a local
laundry-mat. Our young people need a
building to hang at, a place that has their
kind of music, pool tables, video ma
chines, snacks, a place to mingle and
hopefully this will help them stay away
from hanging at places like partying
parking lots or party houses. Their place
should be a Tribal Enterprise that hires
only responsible young adults, plus it
needs to be located within walking dis
tance. We need a large Consignment

Shop, that has enough space in it to fit all
sorts and sizes of clothing items. We
need a Souvenir shop, one large build
ing, so that all Indian artists can display
and sell their artwork, jewelry, or cre
ations, even a T-shirt shop with Warm
Springs logos. A Florist shop is needed
with all outdoor plants, wood and rocks
we have on our Reservation, someone
could create beautiful and unique flower
displays! Bullons included with our
Language written on them! A photo but
ton booth, "Take your picture with a real
Indian" type of thing! And if someone
could have a "Rent Lawn Equipment"
this would help 'spiffy' up our commu
nity. You know this is needed especially
since Housing has no motivation to keep
up lawns which 1 would like to add, if
they want to charge Tribal rents, com
pared to the outside ApartmentsCom
plexesHomes, then they really need to
keep up the maintenance of these places
and quit letting the regular maintenance
people milk the job! There are so many
business opportunities. I would like to
add, why should ourcommunity feel any
remorse towards bettering ourselves, our
surrounding communities didn't! And
really all it boils down to is taking care of
business! Lets jump into their game be
fore it's too late! Like I said before, if we
don't take care of our own, no one else
will!"
