Tribes act on fish pact
It has been two weeks since the Bonneville Power
Administration entered into a pact with Warm Springs
and three other tribes to presenrve and enhance the
Columbia River fishery.
Since then a technical staff consisting of members of
the four Tribes has met to formulate project recommen
dations and determine procedures for gathering the in
put of other parties involved in fishery use and manage
ment. At the same time the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Com
mission continues to be dismayed about the BPA's "lack
of coordination with state agencies in developing the
bilateral agreement with the Indians."
Tribe plans juvenile criminal justice program
The need has existed for a long time but the reality
of a Juvenile Criminal Justice Program for Warm Springs
is just now taking form. With the arrival of funding, a
program director and a juvenile court judge, work has
begun on the development of the program and the facil
ity to house it.
A total of $200,000, including a $150,000 grant from
the LEAA (Law Enforcement Assistance Administra
tion) and $50,000 from the Tribe, is available for con
struction of a juvenile justice facility. Such a building
would house the Juvenile Court, a Juvenile Detention
Home and the personnel directly involved in the pro
gram. A tentative site by the jail is being considered and
negotiations have begun with an Indian architect from
Oklahoma. It is expected that a construction contract
will be awarded by the summer of 1977 and the facility
may be completed by late 1977.
Kah-Nee-Ta enjoys three month profit
For the first time in the history of Kah-Nee-Ta Re
sort, management is pleased to report a net profit for
the months of June, July and August 1976, and a gross
operating profit for the month of September.
Room occupancies were higher than forecast at both
the lodge and the village for those months. According
to Ed Manion, enterprise manager, room occupancy
during August was the highest on record the highest
in the history of Kah-Nee-Ta Resort.
This is the first time Kah-Nee-Ta has enjoyed a profit.
In addition, records indicate that volume is picking up
earlier in the year and lasting until later in the year.
Ambulance program needs help
How many people would know what to do if a loved
one suffered a heart attack or a friend was badly injured
in an automobile accident? When faced with situation
such as these, most of us feel utterly helpless and are
dependent upon the aid and knowledge of someone who
has the training to handle such emergencies.
We rely on ambulance personnel to get there quickly
and we expect those manning the ambulance to know
how to administer oxygen, stop bleeding, and be able to
do whatever is necessary to keep our family member or
friend alive and stable en route to the hospital or clinic
We expect all this, at yet at Warm Springs Jeff Sand
ers, tribal police chief, believes that for a community of
this size, ambulance service is far below what is consid
ered normal. He is asking for help in building up the
ambulance program in order to give more service to the
community. Presently, the only people manning the
ambulance are members of the police force, and that's
not enough, according to Sanders.
"We need volunteers from the community (men or
women) who would be willing to take the training re
quired to ride in the back of the ambulance," said Sand
ers.
The Twelfth Annual Veter
ans Day Powwow is scheduled

The interviews helped in
concluding that the cause of
the incident had been the pe
troleum product used during
maintenance of the fan motor,
said Martinez.
The environmental testing
at ECE shows that the build
ing has excellent air quality,
said Julie Quaid, ECE director.
There is no reason to think
that the problem last week
would recur, as maintenance
scheduling would be adjusted
to avoid a recurrence, said
Quaid.
Chief Martinez said, "The
Early Childhood Education
facility has been thoroughly
tested and determined to be
safe."
As a precautionary mea
sure, the ECE building will
have 16 carbon monoxide
monitors installed in pod F,
with an additional 24 installed
by the end of the month, to
taling 40 monitors in the ECE
building. , . .
In responding to this inci
dent, the overriding concern
was the safety and health of
ECE staff and the children,
said Willy Fuentes, chief op
erations officer.
The temporary closure of
the building, he said, was nec
essary toward achieving this
end. The decision to reopen
was made only after Chief
Martinez, incident com
mander, was assured that no
potential health problems were
present at the ECE building,
said Fuentes.

tography and other tasks.
You also may drop announcements in printed and

Wasco St. on the Warm Springs campus, or send them
to Spilyay Tymoo, P.O. Box 870, Warm Springs, Oregon
