Twenty-five. years ago this week
From the April 27, 1979,
edition of the Spilyoy Tymoo.
Council sets two
referendum dates
The Tribal Council has called
for a Tribal Referendum on
May 15 to allow construction of
the Pelton Reregulating Dam
Hydroelectric Project.
Project summaries are being
mailed to tribal members to help
explain the purpose and signifi
cance of the project.
Anyone having questions
about the proposal should attend
the General Council meeting on
May 1 at the Agency Ixmghouse. ,
The early referendum was
determined necessary in order
to allow a 1980 construction
start. Each year construction is
delayed, over $2 million would
be lost because of inflation. Due
to the complexity of the project,
other items have been scheduled
for separate referendum (see
story below).
The $25 million-plus hydro
electric project involves the in
stallation of a turbine generator
in the existing Pelton
Reregulating dam, with a trans
mission line connecting the pow
erhouse to the Warm Springs
electrical substation.
Water system,
housing subjects
of June 5 vote
June 5 has been designated
by the Tribal Council as the ref
erendum date for the proposed
Deschutes Domestic Water Sys
tem and several housing projects.
A General Council meeting is
expected during the last half of
May.
The $8 million water system
involves pumping water from
the Deschutes River near the
Dry Creek Campground up to
a new reservoir near Tewee's
Butte. From the Tewee's Butte
Reservoir, transmission lines will
carry water by gravity flow to
the proposed new reservoirs at
Warm Springs and Kah-Nee-Ta.
The proposed housing
projects include 30 additional
Tenino apartments; six
Simnasho senior citizens homes;
five Simnasho rental relocations;
and a 24-bed dormitory at Kah-Nee-Ta.
Estimated cost for the
projects, including access roads,
is $2.45 million, The housing
projects would relieve the hous
ing shortage facing tribal mem
bers and employees.
Memo signals
change at NCAI
Executive Director of the
National Congress of American
Indians Andy Ebona no longer
has the authority to sign checks
for the organization, while travel
and salary restrictions have been
placed on the staff as a result
of the memo from NCAI Presi
dent Veronica Murdock.
The memo also reinstates
staff people terminated by
Ebona, and calls for creation of
an oversight committee to act
as a grievance mechanism for
employees. There may be fur
ther Executive Committee ac
tion with regard to Ebona, ac
cording to the memo.
Hydro projects
look favorable
In light of the recent nuclear
plant scares, particularly the
Three Mile Island accident, the
development of small hydro
electric power plants is becom
ing increasingly favorable look
ing. Governmental agencies and
public officials are impressed
with the proposed hydroelectric
project at the Pelton
Reregulating Dam, for instance.
Nationwide
running epidemic
caught by locals
They can be seen running
around the campus, up Tenino
or out the Kah-Nee-Ta road. In
fact they can bee seen almost
anywhere, at almost any time.
"Who or what are they?" you
ask. Runners. I luffing and puff
ing, striving for a faster mile, or
a goal not easily recognized or
known by non-runners.
The Craigs have been run
ning since February, getting en
couragement from their son
Joel, age 9, and Madeline's
brother Ralph Qucahpama.
Kids delight in
spring traditions
Every culture has its spring
traditions and Warm Springs is
lucky enough to enjoy two of
them.
While I leadstart classes ven
tured out to Webster F'lats to
gather piaxi and luksh, other
youngsters were decorating and
hunting for Easter eggs.
