The WEDD department (Work
Experience Development Depart
ment) has another exciting project
under way. WEDD has hired two
crews and two foremen to complete
a "Community Beautification
Project." The intent of the new
project:
Provide temporary work devel
opmentenhancement to complete a
worthy project
Clean up and enhance the com
munity Create a "welcome to Warm
Springs" area
Plant trees, shrubs, and flowers
in the community
Provide yard services for com
munity elders (grass cutting, tree
trimming, fence repair, flower or
Time permitting in the end, plant
a community garden
Cut fence posts and sale them to
community members for yard fences
This project is a short term, to be
completed by June 30, 1998. WEDD
was able to do this with JTPA
carryover funds. WEDD crew mem
bers are: Douglas Palmer, Brenda
Cloud, CarlaDean Caldera, Charie
Chee, Sr. Chris Authur, Tracy Frank,
Adele Waheneka, Wayne Miller, and
Charlene Winishut (who is on the
Labor Pool crew). The foremen are
Thurman Squiemphen and Johnny
Holliday.
Our regular labor pool is also in
volved as a partner with the other two
crews. WEDD crews will be clearing
weeds and picking up trash and gen
erally cleaning up the various hous
ing areas first.
The crews will then start planting
trees, shrubs, and flowers in various
parts in the community and housing
areas.
Another special thing that WEDD
is doing, is planting trees in memory
of someone.
One of the outcomes of this is that
trees will be taken care of in a good
way by families and households
where the tree is planted. So please
lets all work together on this. WEDD
will also be acquiring some free trees
and other plants, wc will have to
purchase. WEDD is not sure exactly
how many trees it will end with at
this time.
WEDD crews will be construct
ing a special area which will be the
"Welcome To Warm Springs" area.
It will have a special sign designed
by the crews, and will include grass,
flowers, shrubs, and trees planted.
The Labor Pool will maintain it when
the project is completed.
Time permitting, we hope to start
a community garden. There are sev
eral food service providers which
could benefit from fresh fruits and
vegetables (ECE, Police dept., W.S.
Elementary School, Senior Citizen
Program, Restaurants, Wellness
Center, and the community at large)
If you want to bring out your green
thumb and get involved, give us a
call.
WEDD asks that each commu
nity member take part in this excit
ing and much needed project. Drop
by when you see a crew out in the
community and pitch-in and help.
WEDD would be glad to have you
and your family. WEDD also asks
each community member to do a
little something to help keep our
community areas clean, build pride
back into keeping the community
clean and livable in a good way.
Please don't throw trash, bottles,
cans, or other items out your ve
hicle. Please keep your household
garbage contained and picked up
around your homes and surrounding
areas. Let's be proud of where we
live.
How our community looks, tells
and shows how we feel. Maybe, an
other service area who reads this
article can sponsor trash receptacles
and community members can spon
sor individual receptacles so they
are everywhere and available for use
by the community.
We love our community. The
WEDD department is doing what
they can to bring back pride to our
community. Please do your part. If
you would like to be a volunteer,
please give WEDD a call at 553
3324. We need your help.

On January 22, 1998 the Office of
Trust Funds Management mailed a
letter which contained a listing of
account holders whose "Where
abouts" are unknown to us. The list
ing previously sent has been updated
and once again we are seeking tribal
assistance in locating these account
holders. .
The Office of Trust Funds Man
agement is encouraging tribal repre
sentatives to support this effort lo
cally, through whatever advetisement
media you may have available (e.g.
the posting of the attached "Where
abouts Unknown" listing at the tribal
headquarters in a conspicuous place,
etc.). If the previous list was posted
please replace it with the undated
list. Also, it would be very beneficial
to have each tribal enrollment office
review their enrollment records for
current addresses. The tribal office
could then provide us with the infor
mation, which would allow us to
proceed further in contacting the
rightful owners of all Individual In
dian Money (IIM) accounts.
The Office of the Special Trustee,
Office of Trust Funds Management
would like to thank you in advance,
for your cooperation in this impor
tant endeavor. If you have any ques
tions, please call Marlene Walker or
Harold Redhouse at (505) 248-5805
or the local IIM department.

On April 5-7 Warm Springs,
Victims of Crime Services presented
"Vanishing The Anger Strengthen
ing The Family" conference at Kah-Nee-Ta
Resort. Keynote speakers
included Sharon Clanchischillage,
(Navajo Nation) Howard Rainer,
(Taos Pueblo-Creek) and Lisa Tiger,
(Muscogee Nation).
Master of social work, Sharon
Clanchischillage asked during a
youth workshop, "WTiat's the power
and reward of personal change in
the Indian home and community ?"
"It's time to empower with your
power. Children need to know they
have a purpose in life," says Howard
Rainer. "We as adults and parents
need to learn how to lift the spirits
of the young. Turn off your televi
sions and rcjd more," says Rainer.
Talk to your children and tell them
how special they are in your life.
Adults should be a good example to
the young people around them. Young
people learn from their elders from
the start of their life. Help them make
goals for themselves in life. Adults
and young people alike need to find
one special thing they would want to
improve in their lives," says Rainer.
"Help each other find that one thing,
and follow through with it."
Facts show that domestic violence
is a family affair. Studies show that
girls raised in violent homes often
grow up to become victims.
Boys raised in violent environ
ments often become batterers as
adults. Many battered victims report
that their relationship follows a com
mon pattern called the cycle of do
mestic violence. The cycle of vio
lence starts an explosion of anger and
fear, then loving and contrite, (It will
never happen again) guilt and re
morse builds up the tension back to
anger and fear.
The Victims Of Crime Services in
Warm Springs offers 24-hour safe
shelter for people who are in need of
protection from domestic violence.
Their mission is to promote the safety
and justice of all victims of crime
services in our community. Victims
of Crime Services believe in the right
of each and every person, to live their
lives free of violence. The VOCS
provide services to all people in the
community who are victims and sur
vivors of violence. For more infor
mation or if you are a victim, please
call 553-2293.
Every day over 100 women and
children leave their homes for safety
of shelters and safehomes.
