“I W.S. organizing own Little League By Dave McMechan Spilyoy Tymoo Warm Springs supporters of Little League are working to ward forming a local charter of the youth T-ball, baseball and softball organization. Warm Springs has been part o f Je ffe rso n C oun ty L ittle League, but the goal is to have a separate Warm Springs Little League charter by the beginning o f the 2010 season, said Danni Katchia, a coordinator o f the project. A first priority is the estab lishm ent o f a Warm Springs Little League board, she said. Toward this goal, and for general information, the sup porters are holding a meeting on Monday, Jan. 18 at the commu nity center starting at 6 p.m. T he W arm Springs L ittle League board will need a presi dent and vice-president, player agent, secretary, safety officer, treasurer and inform ation of ficer. In the past, Warm Springs community members have vol u n te ered to serve as L ittle League coaches and umpires, and on the Jefferson County Little League board. With its own charter, volun teers will be needed to fill the Warm Springs board positions as well, said Katchia. “We need the community to support this to make it happen,” said Katchia. The Warm Springs board will operate under its own constitu tion and by-laws, and will hold regular meetings. Last year Jefferson County Litde League had 17 teams, in cluding T-ball, baseball and soft- ball. Warm Springs youth made up a majority of the players, said Katchia.

The logical boundary for the new Warm Springs Litde League district would be the reservation, said Katchia. T h e separation o f W arm Springs from Jefferson County Little League is a big step, al though the change will not be much in many ways, said Louise Katchia, who is helping to or ganize the new league. Warm Springs already has been acting for the m ost part independently within Jefferson County Litde League, she said.
