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.

Power Enterprises gives report
From Power Enterprises
The Warm Springs Power Enter
prises Board of Directors has re
quested that the Tribal membership
be updated as to the activity and fi
nancial standings of Warm Springs
Power Enterprises.
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-

To' the editor:
Last week the Warm Springs Po

attendance had said they would be
back with their families to spend
time and visit
We would like to thank the fol
lowing people for their time during
the conference: Captain Burroughs

a jacket belonging to one of thei
Chiefs of Police and left This per-'
son was caught rather quickly when'
she was seen walking down a hall-'
