Coma and has severe brain in

the nursing staff for all facets
of care. Rosa is dependent on
tube feeding for her nutritional

Rosa will continue to require
comprehensive services for all

Thank you.

2 a.m. Competition was tough
and kept on getting tougher to
ward the end. We had several,
matches that went to the hill
(which means there was one fi

winner because of a tie).

Trash sites
O n June 14 and 15 there was
a Memorial pool tournam ent
that took place in Madras. This
tournament was a complete suc
cess. This tournament was held
in memory of the late Wayne
Schjoll. Wayne was the owner of
the Rialto Tavern and has sup
port the pool community here
for years. There was a lot of
work that went into making this
happen. I would like to thank
Clint Smith, Dixon Polk, Lynn
Davis, Sherri Smith, Seagray
Littieleaf; and I’m sure there are
I w anted to brin g the
com m unity’s atten tio n to a
growing, but discouraging trend
happening here in W arm
Springs.
While swimming at the creek
with my kids I noticed a large
pile of trash located nearby. I
have noticed that illegal trash
sites are more consistently lo
cated near the Shitike Creek.
The illegal trash sites are very
unattractive and can have sig-
nificandy negative health affects.
Some of the possible health af
fects can include: hepatitis, blood
borne pathogens, bacterial infec
tions, and other preventable dis
eases.
Identity theft is another prob
lem that can result from personal
information left in the illegal
dum psites. A t one o f the
dumpsites we found documents
containing birthdates, social se
curity numbers, prescriptions,
children’s names, court case
documents and other personal
identifiable information, which
could lead to identity theft.
Some of the kids often use
the waste as submersible objects
to dive after. They can unknow
ingly endanger themselves by
playing with dangerous or con
m any th a t I am forgetting. W ith
tam inated objects.
out people like these folks to
help out this type of tournament
would not be possible. Also, I
would like to thank many local
business owners for their gen
erous donations of raffle items
and sponsorship of the award
items. These include: Kah-Nee-
Ta, Desert Inn, Redmond Li
quor, Rialto Tavern, Madras
A uto, E rickson’s Thriftway,
Black H orse Saloon, Harley
Davidson, Strut Yo’ Stuff, The
Supply Depot, Jerry and Janet
Bagley, Raymond Riddle, and
Lynn Davis arid Lynn Davis
Team. Last but not least I would
like to thank all the pool players
that came to support the tour
nament. We had players from
Pordand, Bend and several from
Washington.
There were 17 four-person
teams which put stress on the
tournam ent com m ittee right
from the get go wondering if
we were all going to be taking
Monday off work. The bracket
was drawn and play started. For
. the most part matches went well
and everyone seemed to be hav
ing a good time. Matches were

stantly during the hot summer
month's. It is disturbing to see
young children swimming in the
creek with solid waste located
so close by.
There have been reports of
hypodermic needles and drug
paraphernalia also located near
the swimming areas above the
“block.” Parents should be cau
tious when allowing their chil
dren to swim at certain locations
along Shitike Creek. Be sure to
inspect each swimming location
for drug paraphernalia, broken
bottles, household waste, hypo
dermic needles, burnt aluminum
foil, chemical spills,'snakes, bee
hives and other possible health
hazards.
Remember that we all have
responsibility to keep our water,
air, and land clean. Have a safe
and enjoyable summer. Be safe
and drink plenty of water.
If you notice any suspicious
activity or possible littering,
please call the Warm Springs
Police Department at (541) 553-

A thank you
Good afternoon.
I just wanted to take another
m om ent to acknowledge the
Warm Springs Education Com
mittee.
I truly appreciate your gen
erosity toward my trip to the
University o f Maryland for the
National History Day Contest.
I look forward to meeting
with you and talking about this
incredible experience. H ope
fully, I will be able to go again
during my high school years.
My mom and I really appre
ciate all of our family, friends,
m om ’s co-workers, the tribal
enterprises and com m ittees,
plus the community o f Warm
Springs for all o f your support
o f my trip to the National Con
test.
Thank you.
TaSheena George.
Proud of you
This is to my big sister T. Tail.
I just want to tell you and the
whole rez how proud I am of
you. You have come a long way
in your young life. Through the
good, the bad and the ugly, but
this is one o f the best times for
you and there are many more
to come.
You are very encouraging to
me. I hope when I get out of
this place I can take the next step
in my life and do what you just
did. Graduating from the Youth
Builders School is not only a
good example for our kids but
for us sisters too and the young
people in Warm Springs. My big
sister, you’re still so young yet.
This isn’t the end but only the
beginning. So keep going and do
what you need to do to better
your life not only for your three
girls but for yourself as well. You
will always be in my prayers and
I will always love you. Toni Elaine
Tail. See you soon, C.Rose.
Forever
Richard Bentley Walker,
If you’re asking if I need
you, the answer is forever. If
you asking if I’ll leave you, the
answer is never. If you asking
what I value, the answer is you.
If you asking if I love you, the
answer is I do.
O n Friday the 13th o f July
2001, the best o f luck came my
way. It actually took me by sur
prise! But I grabbed that luck
and held on tight. I questioned
how long I would have it, now
long it would last, knowing that
my life would be changed -
then, now, forever.
Seven years later I ’m still
here, hanging on, enjoying ev
ery minute of this adventure with
you Rick. Then, now, forever.
Happy Anniversary! I hope
that I’ve held up my end, the
way you have yours. You have
changed my Efe forever and I
look forw ard to many m ore
years, as you grow older (‘mem
ber I’m 21 forever, haha!).
I thank you for the strength,
for the laughter, for the tears,
and I want to tell you, Richard
Bentley Walker, you definitely
are “My Reason.”
X’s and O ’s, Su-Yenn.
Livestock
The 4-H and FFA programs
are valuable learning experi
ences for many of the youth in
our community, and they pro
vide a means for these youth to
earn money towards their higher
education.
O n Saturday evening, July
26, at 4 p.m. the Jefferso n
County Livestock Association
will be sponsoring the annual 4-
H /FFA Livestock Auction at the
Jefferson County Fairgrounds.
You support for the auction
and the youth who have worked
hard over the past year on their
individual projects is much en
couraged.
We would like to see you and
your su p p o rt a t the auction to
bid on the animals.
However, if you are unable
to attend, we have an order
buyer program through which
you can place an order for an
animal and the order buyer will
bid up to the dollar amount you
specify.
U pon being the successful
buyer, you and/or your business
will be recognized during the
auction as the purchaser. An
average animal will cost between
$250 and $500 above the mar
ket floor price.
If you have any questions,
please call the Extension office
at 475-3808.
We look forward to seeing
you at the 2008 4-H/FFA Live
stock Auction.
