Treat yourself to a facial or body treatment at Spa Wanapine
... .. j i r-it
Treat yourself to a super
rejuvenating facial to nourish, tone
and improve the color and texture of
dry skin. This deluxe facial facilitates
integration of body and mind. That
would be the Deluxe European Facial
at Wanapine Spa.
The basic process for a facial is to
enter Spa Wanapine with your mind
set that you arc going to relax. You
lie down, and get comfortable, shut
the rest of the world out, melt away
all your worries and let the esthctician
do all the work. Listen to relaxing
music playing throughout the facial
treatment.
This treatment includes gentle
cleansing, dead cell removal, steam
therapy, skin analysis, relaxing
massage to face, chest and neck using
Avcda essential oils, and nourishing
masque. She will begin with hot
towels to warm your skin, use Aveda
products for cleansing, toning and
exfoliation of your skin, to remove
all toxins and impurities. Your skin
will then be analyzed to begin
treatment, removing all blemishes in
the skin. She will then apply a

Are you a compulsive gambler?
Compulsive gambling not only af
fects the victim, but the victim's fam
ily, friends and co-workers. The main
features of a compulsive gambler
include emotional dependence on
gambling, loss of control and inter
ference with normal activities.
You can determine for yourself if
you have a possible gambling prob
lem by picking up a brochure, in the
brochure racks at Indian Head Ca
sino. A series of questions contained
within the brochure will help you
determine signs that a problem might
exist.
"Even though statistics show a
very small percent of the populations
who recreationally gamble have a
potential problem, we still have a
responsibility to those few. Provid

EAP assists employee
How the Employee Assistance
Program Can Help Employees of
Warm Springs, part 1 of 3.
In 1988, the year it was passed,
the Confederated Tribes of Warm
Springs decided to put the "Drug
Free Work Place" law into effect
within Warm Springs. In addition to
a drug testing program, they also
decided to establish an Employee
Assistance Program, also called EAP.
An EAP is a benefit provided and
paid for by the tribe, for all of the
employees of all of the tribal indus
tries and their family members. It is
available to help people address any
personal or work problem they may
have which is causing them difficulty
on the job. Some of the problems that
people deal with at the EAP are
conflicts with their supervisor or their
co-workers, hostility in the work
place, marriage problems, money,
credit or legal problems, difficulty
with parents and children, gambling,
alcohol and drugs, problems with co
workers, and mental health problems
such as depression. This program is
set up to do several things; (1) To
help Tribal members get and keep
jobs in the various industries such as
Kah-Nee-Ta, Indian Head Casino,
Warm Springs Mill, Composite, and
the tribe itself when they feel that
their job may be at risk. (2) It is
established to help the employees
maintain their confidentiality by
having a place to go to talk about
their problems without having to talk
with their supervisor or other em
ployees about their difficulties. That
way they are they are able to have
some privacy without others talking
about their problems.

purifying mask to calm and soften
your skin.
One of the benefits of a facial
treatment is that it stimulates and
gives more clarity to the skin. A
basic exfoliation of dead cells, deep
penetrating moisturizers and
stimulating your skin before doing
massage.
An average skin type should have
a facial every other week or once a
month to maintain the skin. A person
with dry skin may enjoy the softening.
An acne prone skin with blemishes
should have a facial once a week
until they get the results they want,
then every other week. This would
rid the skin of all impurities.
The worst thing a person could do
to their skin is inflict picking to
remove blemishes. Their skin could
scar. An esthctician at Spa Wanapine
has the talent of clearing away
blemishes with proper preparations,
not leaving any scars.
The esthetician will then
recommend cleansing and
moisterizing tips for home use to
maintain yourskins moisture balance
help combat a possible gambling
problem." says Jeff Ford, Indian Head
General Manager.
Indian Head Casino searched for
such assistance regionally and found
Deschutes County Health Services.
The Deschutes County Health Ser
vices has full time counselors who
have been dealing with gambling
problems for the past several years.
They also understand the confiden
tial nature associated with this topic.
"Indian Head is committed to help
ing those individuals seek counsel
ing and program involvement." Ford
states. "If an individual prefers,
Deschutes County Health Services
can be contacted directly. They are
professional and discreet."
Tribal individuals entering the
program need not worry about the
cost. If they identify themselves to
program counselors, Indian Head
(3) It is for employees to be re
ferred to the type of help that is really
needed for the problems they may be
having. They could be referred to
providers who are covered under their
insurance plan or they may work
with the EAP for their problems.
(4) This plan helps employees get
the help they need to keep their jobs
when they are afraid of being termi
nated for alcohol or drug problems
related to their work. It is important
that employees understand their
rights on the job as well as their
requirements and to know what in
formation they need to tell the job
and what information they do not
need to tell the workplace. (5) An
other very important part of the
program is to help employees who
are in conflict with other co-workers
or with their supervisor. This program
can help them learn the skills to deal
with those problems more effectively
as well as knowing when they are
being treated appropriately.
No one has to refer an employee
to EAP. All the employees has to do
is call 553-3205 and set an appoint
ment. The EAPis trained to deal with
mental health, drugalcohol, and
conflict problems at work as well as
working closely with IHS and
Community Counseling to help the
employee get what they need. This
plan is paid for by the tribe to help
estabish the "Healthiest Tribe By The
Year 2000." It is to everyone's ben
efit to use the program.

as well ana answer any questions
you may have about your skin.
Spa Wanapine decided to use
Aveda products because many years
ago Native Americans cleansed
themselves with all natural materials.
Being a Native American owned spa,
they wanted to use all natural products
like the Native Americans did. With
the use of all natural products for
facials everybody comes out with
great looking skin.
Aveda Herbal Body Masque
There are two types of wraps
detoxifying or relaxing. These wraps
are designed to increase perspiration
and help the body rid itself of toxins,
poisons and excess fluid.
When you go in to receive an
Aveda body masque you will lie down
and allow the esthetician or massage
therapist to apply the body masque.
All you have to do is relax.
Once the masque is completely
applied you are wrapped with sheets
and heated material. A heated pad is
placed on your stomach and wrapped
with you to generate heat. You will
stay wrapped for fifteen minutes.

Casino will in turn pay for treatment
as outlined by Deschutes County
Heath Services.
"For Tribal members who wish to
remain anonymous or are perhaps
pressured by the cost of treatment,
we will have hopefully removed those
barriers from the equation." Ford
expresses. "Health Services is the
closest organization dealing with
problem gambling. If there is an ap
parent need for this program in a
person's life, hopefully he or she will
take advantage of it."
Deschutes County Health Services

How do you feel about the housing situation in Warm Springs?

Nancy Collins, "It is sad that there
is so much vandalism of the houses,
especially since there are not enough
houses to start with! Its too bad that
so many people have to live in a
small house and that houses remain
empty so long because of mainte
nance repairs that are not complete.
There is really no excuse for the
housing situation in Warm Springs.
We really need to get on the ball and
make a difference. The housing
situation was identified in the 1969
Comp. Plan, as a problem. The
problem still exists, and that was
almost 30 years ago."
i
Sara Scott, "Being that more then
half the population here in Warm
Springs is under 21,1 feel there is an
extreme housing shortage. Also there
is a need for more small family and
large family housing. I think a lot of
the social problems come from
multiple families in one household.
The housing department needs to
repair and move people into vacant
houses so they will not get vandalized."
You relax and maybe fall asleep
depends on how relaxed you are.
The masque is gently scraped off
of your body and warm, moist towels
are used to wipe off the remaining
masque.
Your herbal body masque
treatment is over and you go into the
Wanapine Spa showers and rinse any
remaining herbal masque away.
Drink plenty of water to help your
body release toxins.

before your treatment for $10.
"I was asked to experience a facial
and body treatment at Spa Wanapine
to write about my experience. I was
having problems with my skin, it's
oily and dry. After the facial I was
impressed with the improvement to
my skin. It had clarity and it wasn't
dry or oily . I am using Aveda products
every day at home now. The body
masque made my skin feel smooth
and clean. I could feel a real difference
in my skin. I would recommend these
treatments to members of the
community. Pamper yourself with a
treatment at the Spa." Selena Boise,

Shooting
takes life
David Belgarde, Jr., 17, is cur
rently in custody at the Warm Springs
Corrections facility following a fatal
shooting.
Belgarde faces charges ranging
from manslaughter to murder in the
shooting death of Damean Alejandro
Frank, 21, who died Monday at St.
Charles Medical Center. Belgarde
could face charges in tribal and fed
eral courts.
The shooting happened either late
Sunday night July 19 or very early
Monday morning July 20 during a
party. Frank and Belgarde apparently
got into an argument. Belgarde then
left the party and returned a short
time later with a gun. He then shot
Frank in the upper chest. A third
party took Frank to Fire and Safety
who transported him to Madras. He
was flown by Air Life at approxi
mately 6:30 a.m. to St. Charles. He
died in surgery.
Belgarde was being held at the
Warm Springs facility on unrelated
shooting charges. He was released
Sunday afternoon. He turned him
self in to police authorities July 20.
Vincent Wallulatum, "Its inad
equate, more housing is needed.
Education on the process of how to
get your home built, is needed.
Education on how existing resources
can help; credit, realty, committee
process, etc. How can HUD build
more homes, for rent-lease option to
buy?
I personally feel we do not need
any more homes built on Schoolie
flats. Our water system is inadequate
to supply any more homes. It seems
long range planning wasn't used
when the Beaver Creek water system
was developed. It's not that old, and
the water pressure is low on our end.
I'm sure water and power lines are
needed all over the reservation to
fulfill our homes needs. Not every
one wants to live in the Agency area.

Housing plan submitted to HUD
The Warm Springs Housing De
partment executive director Chet Van
Pelt hand delivered the "Indian Hous
ing Plan" on June 25, 1998 to au
thorities at the Seattle HUD office.
The Warm Springs Indian Housing
Plan will be reviewed by HUD staff
to ensure we are in compliance. HUD
has 60 days to review our plan and
once HUD determines that we are in
compliance, the Warm Springs Hous
ing Department will be allowed to
expend 1998 funds.
Construction of two, five-bedroom
mutual help homes in Greeley
Heights was started in mid-July. The
homes are being constructed by the
Warm Springs Tribal Construction
department. Completion of these
homes is targeted for the end of Oc
tober 1998. Construction of these
two homes will complete the 13-09
project.
The Warm Springs Tribal Con
struction department has started the
rebuilding of the home damaged by
fire in the Greeley Heights area. (
The renovation of five units has
been completed in the 13-02 Project
in West Hills. Renovations are being
Luke Sanders, "Yes I feel we are
in a pinch with our housing situation.
We have alot of people on the housing
list and too few houses available.
How do we go about matching up the
houses with the people who need
them. Some people need housing but
have no income. There are families
out there where only one person
works or both work. But it seems that
with two incomes they barley make
enough to keep up with all their needs.
Our reservation is getting bigger and
bigger every year. Some of the homes
are in need of repair but not enough
money to get all the houses fixed.
The money pot is shrinking and the
needs are rising. We need to balance
this two things out."
Dorothy Clement, "I feel that the
turnaround rate for move-in and
move-out is very slow considering
how many vacant units that are ob
vious (waiting for repair) and how
many families need a home. A lot of
people I know are waiting for repairs
to be done on (heir rental homes. It is
very disappointing to have to wait so
VERY LONG for someone to do the
maintenance on a housing unit, and
when "they" finally get to doing the
job it takes such a small amount of
time to get it done! So after waiting a
long long time to move in to a home
and the repair job taking but a little
while. Why isn't the job done on
lime? WHO KNOWS??? The wait
on Mutual Help homes is easier to
understand because of the demand of
homes needed and the criteria stuff
that have to be reviewed to see if you
are eligible for a home."

The Housing department is cur

a job with the Public Safety Branch.
Lana's expertise and knowledge will
surely be missed. We wish her well
on her new job. We are also advertis
ing for our tribal secretary, as Denise
Picard-Smith left for greener pas
tures also. .
The Warm Springs Housing De
partment would like to remind all of
our tenants the importance of staying
current on your rent or home pay
ment. The financial success of tqe
Housing Department depends oh
consistent payments of all our ten
ants. Elina Langnese, "I feel housing
is very inadequate in Warm Springs,
it is not healthy (physically or emo
tionally) for families to double up
and triple up in to one dwelling,
people need their own space, need to
have the responsibility of financial
load of owning or renting a home. It
is a basic life skill that needs to be
experienced by all adults. When
people depend too much on one an
other financially, it becomes a burden
and usually leaves them at odds. I
have seen this many times.
When new housing referendums
come up, they should be talking about
hundreds of homes and apartments'
complexes, not just 25-50 dwellings.
This is just a patch put on the prob
lem, not the solution.
Because I have not personally
dealt with housing, I am not familiar
with their policies and procedures
and cannot make an honest critique
of their program. I can only say what
I have heard, and that is Housing
sometimes gives special priority.
Also houses are vacant for long pe
riods of time without tenants. This
tends to encourage vandalism which .
ultimately increases costs to every
one involved. These are just a couple
of the problems associated with in
adequate housing.
It might be beneficial for Housing
to have a spot in the paper and KWSO
keeping the Warm Springs commu
nity up to date on what housing is
available and how long individuals
will need to wait.
Hopefully, with the help of sta
tistics more planning can be done.
The population is not decreasing but
increasing, and especially the age of
becoming independent and needing
housing. In my opinion, the Tribe
needs to be moving fast on this issvjf,
as they are still playing catch up at
this point"
