Pdge 10 January 12, 2011 Spilydy Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon Remodel for Counseling Center By Duran Bobb Spilyay Tymoo Beginning this month, employ ees from the Community Coun seling Center will temporarily move to the Family Resources Center. This move marks sev eral changes that could have an impact to those receiving ser vices at either building. Remodeling comes from a $1.3 million grant through the IHS, Caroline Cruz, Director of Human Services, said. “We sub mitted a grant proposal back in 2005,” Cruz said. “It was not awarded due to lack of suffi cient dollars to grant all requests. They asked us a year later if we’d still like to consider, and we said yes.” The last time the building was remodeled was approximately seven years ago, when the win dows were replaced. Before that, a new heater/cooling sys tem and carpeting was installed 20 years before. Changes in store for the his toric building include a new main entrance located at the structure’s center. There will be a new recep tion area where the conference room is now located.

There will be a kitchen in the basement, and the exterior of the building will be restored its original appear ance. “The staff has been aware of these changes for a year now,” Cruz said. “I hear some rum bling, but I keep reminding them to stay focused on the fu ture completion.” Without any unforeseeable barriers, remodeling should be complete by mid May or early June. For now, there will be no change in DHS (food stamps) within the Family Resources building. However, after the re modeling is complete DHS could move to the Tribal Social Services building. Vocational Rehab would then move to Community Counseling. Cruz stresses that DHS in Warm Springs is not closing at all, as some tribal members had feared. In fact, additional services include the opening of the Community Prevention Re source Center, specifically the Community Library within the next few months. “This type of opportunity u We w ill all be experiencing some discomfort, but once the remodeling is done people w ill be pleased and w ill look back on this as a p a rt of history. » Caroline Cruz Director o f Human Services rarely comes around,” Cruz said. “The Health and Wellness Center will receive a new main tenance building, as well as the Community Counseling Center’s remodeling.
