Scant snowfall, warm weather
may spell drought for region
(AP) - After a season of
scant snowfall and a recent spate
of warm days, experts say Cen
tral Oregon could be on track
for the worst drought in more
than a decade.
That would mean trouble for
farmers and irrigation.
"I'm doing my rain dance
right now," said Jeremy Giffin,
Deschutes Basin watermaster.
"It would take a historical event
to bring us up to normal at this
point"
As of last week, the
Deschutes River Basin held only
57 percent of the average mois
ture for this time of year, said
Jon Lea, snow survey supervi
sor for the federal Natural Re
sources Conservation Service.
The water shortage could
limit hydro-electric operations
this year, although that's unlikely
to have a major effect on elec
tricity prices, according to a
power company spokesmen.
Dave Kvamme, spokesman
for Pacific Power, said hydro
power makes up only about 5
percent of the company's total
supply. Pacific Power is the pri
mary electricity provider for
most of Central Oregon.
Kuu-Nauxsh wins weekend tourney
By Brian Mortenscn
Spilyay Tymoo
It might not have needed a
lot of three-point plays during
the weekend, but the Kuu
Nauxsh team, comprised of
mostly players from Warm
Springs and the Yakama Indian
Reservation, had enough to win
the North End Express Men's
All-Indian Six-foot-and-under
Basketball Tournament at the
Warm Springs Community Cen
ter Friday and Saturday.
Kuu-Nauxsh, which means
"And One," won all four of its
games, including a 98-66 victory
over Tha' Slicks in the champi
onship game Saturday evening.
James Bailey, who lives in
Spokane, led Kuu-Nauxsh with
25 points in the championship
game and was named the
tournament's Most Valuable
Player. Bailey, 26, showed a good
range of athleticism in running
the floor and solid range from
outside, scored 12 points in the
first half as Kuu-Nauxsh led, 45
31. The games were played in
halves of 20 minutes in running
time.
"This is a way-faster pace
than I'm used to, " Bailey, who
plays in three different recre
ational leagues in the Spokane
Post Falls-Coeur d'Alcne area,
said. "The league up there is
more half-court set. They don't
run or push it as much as the
Indian tournaments.
"It takes me a while to ad
just. They always want you to
push it and take it to the hole."
Bailey, who is a full-blooded
Ojibway, smiled as he said that
was part of the reason he missed
a dunk in the second half.
Kuu-Nauxsh was able to start
running early and took a 21-10
lead eight minutes into the final
game, but Tha' Slicks were able
to cut the lead to 28-25 with five
minutes left in the first half. A
pair of buckets by team captain
Shawn Harry keyed an 8-0 Kuu
Nauxsh run to go up, 36-25, and
then scored nine straight points
just before the half ended, in
cluding a three-point play by
Bailey to go up, 45-29.
The teams played even to
start the second half until Kuu
Nauxsh went on a 13-2 run to
go up, 73-45, with about 10 min
utes to go in the game.
Kuu-Nauxsh took its biggest
lead near the end of the con
test, when, with the game no
longer in doubt, the teams
slowed the pace considerably
and traded three-point attempts,
at 85-63. Kuu-Nauxsh's last
four buckets were three-pointers.
David White scored 20 points
in the championship game for
Kuu-Nauxsh, while post Phil
Rigdon had 16 and Harry 15.
Tommy Garcia led Tha'
Slicks with 16 points, Floyd
Frank had 12 and Aaron
Greene and Preston Tom each
had 10.
Tha' Slicks reached the cham
pionship game by beating the
Northwest Bailers, 78-58, in the
final of the consolation bracket.
The Northwest Bailers finished
third, while Da'Click finished
fourth.
Northwest Bailers, a team
Bailey usually plays for, came up
through the consolation bracket
after losing to Kuu-Nauxsh in
the opening round.
The host North End Express
went 2-2 in the tournament and
was one of the Northwest
Bailers' victims in the consola
tion bracket.
