House next to the Small Business
mission work.
On June 22 a group of kids from
The Cameron House and Chinese
Presbyterian Church in San Francisco
came to Warm Springs to do mission
work. The Housing Department
worked with them to get a house
painted on the campus area, next to
the Small Business Center.
The Cameron House is a youth
community center where they work
with the youth as well as the adults
and seniors in their community.
The last group that came to Warm
Springs helped by preparing the
house to be painted. Upon the arrival
of this group the painting began.
Rudy George of the Housing
Office said, "These were the best
bunch of kids been through here so
far. The really did a good job."
They were sent here on a
recommendation from Calvin Chin
who was Pastor of the Warm Springs
Presbyterian Church about twenty
years ago. Chin is now a Pastor at the
Cameron House and Chinese
Presbyterian Church of San
Francisco.
The group also spent some time
with Warren "Rudy" Clements and
talked about the reservation. Rudy'
was good friends Calvin. Rudy
answered their many questions about
the reservation.
They finished the painting
Thursday afternoon and on Friday
they spent the day at Kah-Nee-Ta.
Wishing they could stay for Pi-Ume-Sha
Powwow, they were able
to attend Friday evening session,'
which they enjoyed.
: This painter works very diligently.'

and 14 people making braces and
artificial limbs," he said. "They have
incredible expertise in the care of
special needs children who need any
type of bone, muscle or joint disease
or injury."
Easter also explained that the
Hospital also provides plastic sur
gery for children with burn scars,
cleft lippalate or other type of facial
disfigurement.
"Not only is the care the best in
the world," Easter added, "it's also
free, thanks to the generosity of
Shriners and many others who sup
port the Hospital with donations."
Among the Jefferson County pa
tients who get their care at Shriners
Hospital are 11-year -old Stephanie
Schlenker of Madras and 13-year-old
Joey Badoni of Warm Springs.

deformed leg, has gone through sur
gery and other services at Shriners
over the past two years. Because her
affected leg was only about half the
size of her other leg and not really
functional, the family decided to have
part of the leg amputated and fitted to
an above-the-knee prosthesis.
"We have medical insurance, but
it won't pay $8,000 every time she
needs a new prostheses," said her
dad, Royce. "She plays softball and
does other sports. She's hard on the
leg, but Shriners will fix it or replace
it as needed. Their care has been
fantastic."
Joey Badoni, who's going into
eighth grade at Jefferson Middle
School, has been a patient at Shriners
for about ten years. Joey has cerebral
palsy, which has affected his walk

ized braces for his feet and a walker
to help his balance.
"He's doing real good," said his
father, Joseph. "He's even stopped
wearing his braces unless he has to
walk a long way. He doesn't do sports,
but he loves collecting NFL football
cards. He really likes the Cowboys
and the 49ers."

care of some 7,000 patients from all

Some of the newer treatments
available at Shriners include the use
of "Botox" a powerful toxin that,
in tiny amounts, helps to calm spas

the use of donor and artificial bone
implants for patients who've had
bone cancer so as much as possible
of their limbs can be saved.
Laboratory research is also a ma
