had to borrow or rent vehicles
for museum programs or ser
vices.

museum's first vehicle.
The van will be used for edu
cational and other museum pro

in making sure the vehicle is
mechanically sound.

Clean up efforts take huge step up
Sorry, but that one will not
make it into the Rez Car Parade
next year. Many cars that no
longer are used park in peoples
driveways, yards or in the
streets.
Contractor Bob McDonald,
of Culver, was contracted by
Warm Springs I lousing Author
ity to clean the neighborhoods
of broken down cars.
He started August 26 and
worked until Friday, August 30,
to transport these vehicles to the
community dump near dry
creek. Housing units in Warm
Springs, including I IUD, Mutual
Help, were given priority over
other housing units in removal
of cars.
Other homeowners were re
quired to pay $20 for removal
and sign a release form.
McDonald removed 32 cars
from West Hills on Poosh Street
and Kalish on the first day. He
continued in West I Iills and pro
ceeded to the Trailer Courts and
Greeley Heights. Cars were re
moved also from the car im
pound at the Industrial Park.
The old cars were taken to
the Warm Springs community
dump, where they were crushed.
This service was available to
Warm Springs for a one-week
time frame, but residents in the
community will have another
chance for removal in the Spring
as McDonald will be asked to
return and provide this same service.

Leonard receives PASSION award Woven
By Selena Boise
Spilyay Tymoo
Women and Children's Ser
vices Coordinator Gwen
Leonard recently receiyed the
PASSION Award. She is one of
the first to receive this award
of the Oregon Coalition Against
Domestic and Sexual Violence.
PASSION stands for Perse
verance, Advocacy, Support,
Strength, Integrity, Optimism,
and Nurturance. The award is
dedicated to individuals who
exemplify these qualities in sup
port of their program's goals.
Leonard has been with the
Warm Springs Victims of Crime
Services for over a year and was
nominated for the award by her
co-workers. In their letter, they
stated, "There is a saying that a
wise woman thinks twice, then
speaks once. This describes our
friend and co-worker Gwen
Leonard. She is the epitome of
X ,m- I f
Gwen Leonard holding her
award, which is made of glass.
the PASSION philosophy."
At a recent talking circle
within their office she was rec
ognized as quiet, one can almost
see the wheels turning as she
"thinks twice." When she
speaks, she does it softly, slowly
and thoughtfully, every word
matters.
Leonard's co-workers also
stated that she was caring, sen
sitive and has an open heart.
Victims feel comfortable talking
with her. She has a calming sense
about her and is a good listener.
She is client focused and
wants to be there for them, she
doesn't let personal opinions get
in the way and she looks for
good in everyone.
Leonard not only advocates
for her clients, but for the wel
fare of the community as a
whole.
She is dedicated to the ser
vice of others needs, as she
stated once, "I was born to do
this work."
I ier co-workers conclude the
following: "She radiates an in
ner strength and joy of service.
I Ier positive attitude is conta
gious. There is a strong gratitude
and appreciation felt by her co
workers and her clients. Most
important, Gwen cherishes the
positive choices clients make to
change their lives to be stron
ger, safer, healthier and happier."
