Police address problems with crimes against senior citizens In the last issue we discussed the panhandling of our senior citizens by those who have no feelings or conscience. Yes, we have ones who would rather prey on the elders of our communities then go out and work at an honest job. They go around trying to pawn or hock items for money, and if the elder person says no then they are threatened with physical violence, abuse, in timidation or coercion. This is a problem that can only end if people get involved. If you know of such an incident you need to report it. Our seniors who have raised us, taught us, helped us to grow, and cared for us, they do not need this kind of treatment. They don't need it nor should they have to be worried about it. Do your part in stopping this type of crime, show your elders you care about them, protect them. If .you see or know of such activ ity report it, call 553-2202. Kids First Some of you out there have had a visit from our Kids First Program. We have gone door to door on two occasions. Both times we were in the West Hills area. This is a new pro gram Community Policing has been working on. It is patterned after the Kids Korner program in Reno. We are working in conjunction with Jefferson County, Crook County and several other agencies on this project. Judge George Neilson of Jefferson County District Court was instrumental in starring the program here. Under the Kids First Program agencies form teams that go into the community and talk with residents. The main purpose of the visit is to check on children, make sure they have their immunization shots, see if they need any help with illnesses and other related medical care, and to provide information on resources available to help if needed. The departments involved with this program in Warm Springs in clude our office, I. H.S., Fire & Safety, Housing, Tribal Sanitarian, Fire Management and volunteers. If you happen to look out your win dow and see a group of people com ing your way, it will most likely be the Kids First group. Crime Stopper Tip With the weather warming there are more outdoor activities going on, quick road trips to do, ball games, and lots more. When you leave the house for an extended period of time you should always remember to de ter crime by taking a few precau tions. Check all your windows to be sure they are closed (sliding windows can be secured with short lengths of molding cut to fit) and latched. You can set a timer to turn on lights, ra dio, and TV, giving the appearance that someone is home. Check your door locks, make sure they work and double check them when you close your doors. Then, have some one you trust check in on your place if you are planning to be gone more than a few hours (if you have a pa per box they can remove the paper, this is another indicator that thieves look for when looking for targets). You should always remember to stop by the Police Department and fill out a house check request.

This turbinegenerator, built in and generating power since 1982, has been a very reliable machine for us. The turbinegenerator is being well maintained and has a historical run ning time average of 8,328-hours annually, which represents a 95 per cent running time. Though good maintenance practices, we can expect to continue producing energy 24 hours a day seven days a week with unit running time approaching 170,000 hours. ' We have experienced two long duration outages for maintenance and repair. The first in 1996 due to a bearing failure and the second in September of 2000 when the unit was down for 35 days to address a problem discovered in the generator. We anticipate the need to completely dismande the unit for rehabilitation during the next ten-year timeframe. Warm Springs Power Enterprises, through Tribal Council direction, has been requested to oversee the recent setdement agreement reached between Portland General Electric Company and The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs for the Pelton Project The Enterprise staff, along with Tribal Council, has been involved in developing the necessary changes in the operating documents to allow this responsibility to be clearly defined. With the current energy shortage, Warm Springs Power Enterprises has been exploring other generating op portunities. Gas turbine development on res ervation lands could be a positive contribution to the Tribes' annual revenue needs. We have also looked at other types of generating oppor- PLANTIOUIPMtNT FMEqulpmanl WARM SPRINGS POWER ENTERPRISES BALANCE SHEET AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2000 ASSETS Net PlantEquipment I33JS9327 (11.gW.g42) OTHER ASSETS Anna Poky CURRENT ASSETS Ca Aooounta RmmUi PrapatdEivanaaf Deferred Chargea 14,884.178 14 962 Total Other Aaaata Total Currant Aaaata (Capitalila at Complatlon) 278,882 eeo.sss 97.S20 1.043958 3,347,336 TOTAL ASSETS PROPRIETARY CAPITAL AND LIABILITIES Propriatary Capital ConMbulad capital -Tnbe 110,000.000 2B.281.1gt Total Propriatary Capital Lon0 Tarm Dabt, laaa currant portion Currant Liabilitlaa Accrued mamat Aooounta payable Currerrt portion of long-term debt Due 10 General Fund Total Currant Liabilitlaa TOTAL PROPRIETARY CAPITAL AND LIABILITIES , WARM SPRINGS POWER ENTERPRISES STATEMENT OF REVENUE AND EXPENSES YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 OPERATING REVENUES - Powar aalaa OPERATING EXPENSES 10848 87.718 1,815,382 1,713,548 17,743.868 Operation and Marnajnama DapraoMon OPERATING INCOME OTHER INCOME EXPENSES 468.428 604,982 880.180 Total Operating Expanaaa 1.714,178 Lon0-4arm dabt Intaraat Settlement expenaet 280668 (107,442) (788,100) Total Othar IncomaExpenaaa NET INCOME (704,893) tunities and will continue to look for opportunities that help in sup porting tribal government.
