His decision to accept this position was, "Most recently working at the museum I could see some of the need, even though I didn't work directly handling artifacts or crafts. I noticed a need for documentation and history of these items or crafts. I thought that this department would be where I could help. I have hopes of doing this type of thing, transcribing oral history. Our elders ,are passing on. In a few more years Somebody might be calling me and elder and that's scary. Because the history that elders know is ' disappearing. The biggest reason is I of BIA vehicles, stabbing . partment, Drug Enforcement Admin . istration, Oregon State Police, Crook County Sheriff's Office, Prineville Police Department, Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, Madras Police De partment, Oregon National Guard, and the Warm Springs Police De partment. A rash of recent vehicle thefts and vandalism has plagued the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Warm Springs Tribe. The most recent of the thefts occurred Friday morning April 30th when three All Terrain Vehiclefs (ATV) were stolen from the BIA compound on Holliday Way. Two of the ATV's belonged to the BIA and one belonged to the Water and Soil Department. Two juvenile suspects were arrested after a short pursuit along Tommie Street. At least one more suspect is at large. On Sunday April 25, 1999 Officer's and Detective's responded to The Indian Health Services ve hicle compound after a BIA Jeep was stolen. Suspect's entered the com pound and attempted to start at least three of the Jeep's, causing damage to the ignition and steering columns of the vehicles. After starting one of the vehicles, the suspects caused se vere damage to the compound when they drove the Jeep through the front gate. On Tuesday , April 27th, 1999 The Jeep was recovered in a remote IRMP II public meetings scheduled Two meetings have been sched- ulcd to gather tribal member com ments on the final draft of IRMP II, ; the intergrated Resources Manage ment Plan for the Non-Forested and Rural areas. The meetings will be held May 18, at 8:30 a.m. and on May 20, at 4 p.m. at the Community Center. Members of the interdisciplinary team that worked on the plan will explain the goals, objectives, stan dards and best management prac tices developed for the plan's 15 major issues. Comments will be taken from tribal members during the meetings, which will account for the plan's final review before it is presented to Tribal Council May 26. Refreshments will be served. , f ,11 4 1 f .--vS vr it t ' .", - i ; y.- ''.w v! :.. t Director hope to help adding this documentation into our history. And the little things that we take for granted, like washing machines, years ago how did they do it? Even cloth for sewing, where did they get these things? Expand on these stories, get comments on elders. Get their perspectives on things like this. Sights need to be documented on Huckleberry fields. I hope that I could add to and keep programs going," says Palmer. The Culture and Heritage staff consists of nine employees with limited duration consultants helping out with language classes. They are Shirley Tufti for Paiute language, Gladys Thompson and Madeline Mclnturff as Wasco consultants. Culture and Heritage is planning and budgeting to develop other programs they would like to teach, history on the reservation, crafts, fishing, and putting these types of cultural knowledge in text form for teaching. In the first week at Culture and Heritage Palmer has been reading and learning more about the office and their budget. He has also received assistance of employees that have been working there and is thankful to them for their assistance in welcoming him and answering his questions and explaining the : operations of their office. ! area of the Reservation. The interior i of the Jeep suffered extensive dam ; age when it was set on fire. At least ; one of the suspects in this case should have a laceration due to being cut by razor wire while entering the com pound. Detectivefs found blood at the scene which will help in the in vestigation. These thefts come only weeks after almost identical thefts which cost the tribe thousands of dollars. A Jeep was stolen from the IHS com pound a few months ago and recov 1 ered in The Dalles area by the Or egon State Police and Wasco County Sheriff's Office. A few weeks ago juveniles stole two ATV's from BIA Fire Management. The recent ATV theft involves some of the same ju venile suspects. Two of the juvenile suspects remained in custody for the weekend. These type of senseless acts im pact the Tribes and the community in several ways. Replacing and re pairing these vehicles places a mon etary burden on the Tribes and the , departments which are victims. The ' loss of these vehicles impacts the community by a reduced level of service. The recent Jeep theft from : IHS impacts the community in a very negative way. The vehicle provided the community health nurse trans portation to make home visits, tak ing care ot the sick and elderly. The Warm Springs Investigations Division continues to investigate and arrests are expected in the near fu turin the early morning hours of Sun day, May 2, 1999 Sylvester Sahme Jr. walked into the Warm Springs Police Department bleeding from two stab wounds. Mr. Sahme was trans ported to Mountain View Hospital by ambulance, where he was treated and released. Officer's responded to 4 1 1 0 Miller Heights where they arrested Ken neth Sahme, the victim's brother, for the stabbing. Detective's were called out to both the scene and the hospital to investigate the incident. Kenneth Sahme was held in the Warm Springs Correctional Facility pending a hearing on Monday, May 3, 1999.

What type of business would you like to see in Simnasho? (Jiv.it it... . . a-- Dennis Thompson, "I would like to see a retail business that will offer groceries, video's, and a gas station. This type of business is really needed for Simnasho's residents who have to travel so far just for their basic necessities." Venus Walsey Strong, "I'd like to see something build in Simnasho that is going to be of service for the elderly people who live there. They need a closer service station for fuel, a store for their shopping needs with activities for the local young people. The young people need an educational area where they can hang out and learn or just play games without being bothered. We definitely need better care for our older people who have to live so far away." Beatrice Scott, "Simnasho residents need a gas station, and they also need a store. It s just too far for Simnasho people to travel up towards Walter's I Corner, Wapinitia, or down to Warm Springs and the Madras I area to pick their everyday basic needs. I think the Simnasho area has been isolated long enough" Emerson Squiemphen, "I could see a store and deli there with a gas station and an arcade for the young people. Another good idea would be a laundry mat tor people who can t atrord to buy a washer and a dryer. It will save Simnasho people money on gas having these facilities around instead of traveling all the way to Warm Springs. Many of the elders and community members are unable to drive and have to depend on someone to do the driving for them. Once in the Warm Springs area, some people decide to travel all the way to Madras for other necessities" I - f. , ir . 11, r ' ; J T- jt m ' m 1 J" 'fix vV - v ;' V ;- ( Y : Martha Winishut, "I think the Simnasho area would be the place for a recreational building. A place where people could come play stick games or other type of entertainment and not have to spend massive bucks to enjoy themselves. Indian Stick Games, have become popular in the Yakima area where people come from other reservations to play. It's not only a lot of fun, but the whole family can participate during special events that would include the young people as well as the older one's." r Clint Smith, "I'd like to see a grocery store build in Simnasho. We have many community members who live there and it's kind of an inconvenience to have to travel down to Warm Springs just to buy their basic needs. It will also be a convenience for tourist who travel to the resort during the Summer months." Mike Clements, "If they could get more people to move back to Simnasho, there should be some kind of manufacturing facility. A store with a gas station would help by creating employ ment and also encourage people to move back and live there again." Irene Towe, "I'd like to see a grocery store with a gas station build in the Simnasho area. Simnasho people have a long ways to travel just to put gas in their gas tanks or buy their groceries." Sandra Main, "Well since Simnasho is an isolated area I think what would work best is something with a little bit of everything. A gas station and store combination with maybe a snack bar and a small arcade for all young people to enjoy." ii.niwimiii iiiiium At f) L r 1
