Greg Youngman helps add a new coat of paint on the M in Warm Springs.
New paint brightens letters
By Brian Morten sen
Spiljciy Tjwoo
From the Warm Springs
campus, they looked like
' ants on the letters that spell
out "Warm Springs" on the
side of the hill looking north.
But when a group of five
local residents were through
with the letters, the words
were quite a bit brighter. This
was the first paint job and
renovation the letters have
had in 10 years.

Youngman, ''' '' JpRnny
Simtustus and Maury Rhoan
were the paint crew, from the
Warm Springs Community
Works Group. They did the
work starting March 31. The
group ascended the side of hill
at 7:30 that morning with buck
ets of paint and brushes.
"We're going to try to get. as
much as we can," Wheeler said.
By then, she, Thompson and
Youngman had been working on
the R and M in "Warm," while
Simtustus and Rhoan took
brushes to the rocks that
formed the S in "Springs."
jj.nJVy. .li3iOfthait.7Afll?rri&on,
Wheeler' had made her fifth trip
up the hill, carrying paint and
new brushes. The afternoon
bore spring-like warmth, so
drinking water was also a ne
cessity. By the time the group
called it a day, they had com
pleted most of the "Warm"
and the S in "Springs."
"Our goal is to try to get
the three tipis (the Confeder
ated Tribes' logo) up there
(above the letters)," Wheeler
said.
"But that's in the works."
She said this after her fifth
trip up the hill for the day.

beat the cloudy and slightly
rainy weather last week to fin

New hires at Kah-Nee-Ta
By Urbana Ross
For the month of March,
Kah-Nee-Ta High Desert Re
sort and Casino hired 42 new
employees, of which 31 are
tribal members.
Most are committed to work
ing for the season, while a few
of the new tribal member hires
stayed only a few days and oth-'
ers a few weeks.
The Tribal Member Recruit
ment and Development Pro
gram supports and assists tribal
members with finding an area
to work. In recent weeks the hir
ing of employees has slowed
down. To mention a few of the
recent new hires, or to name
those I forgot to mention in pre
vious articles: Tashcena Arthur,
Clay Thompson, Lois Knight,
Rosemary Charley, John I Iowe,
Carolyn Bruno, and Aaron
Wewa.
There are many more posi
tions available. Please contract
the Human Resources depart
ment if you have any questions.
(Urbana Ross is manager of
the Kah-Nee-Ta Tribal Member
Recruitment and Development
Program. She can be reached at
