E Coosh EEWA: The wgy it is
Plaza ideas
By D uran Bobb
The Warm Springs Economic
Development Corp., known also
as Warm Springs Ventures, has
moved from the Plaza to the
newly-designed Construction
office located in the Industrial
Park.
“The reason we moved out
was to give small business an
opportunity to get
close to the mar
\
ket the casino will
S p ilya y
be creating,” Jeff
S p ea k s
v_______________ y
Anspach said.
T he
P laza
space occupied by Ventures will
now be rem odeled into two
units.
One unit will be rented to
Kah-Nee-Ta once the new In
dian Head Casino opens. There
are several applicants interested
in the remaining unit.
This area will be a prime lo
cation for any small business,
once the casino opens. There
will be a boom in foot traffic at
the Plaza unlike any previously
seen on the reservation.
“Over the years, we’ve lost
m oney just m ain tain in g the
building and trying to find ten
ants. Then we have to try to
keep those businesses open and
have had a hard time figuring
out how to get traffic to stop.
But I think those days are fi
nally behind us.”
Tribal members have ideas
of the types of businesses they
would like to see open at the
Plaza.
“If you think about it, there’s
a pawn shop within a mile of
any other casino.”
“At the casino, it’s bells and
whistles and noises. I think
people come looking for Native
American items locally-made.
This would give visitors the In
dian experience.”
“It would be nice to see a
salon,” N atalie M oody said.
“Many young ladies have fin
ished school for this, but they
have nowhere to set up shop.”
Yvette Leecy would like to
see a music store open.
Another tribal member said,
‘Whatever business opens in the
available space, I think it would
mean more to both locals and
visitors if the owners keep de
p en d ab le, regu lar bu siness
hours.”

he can shoot an arrow, run, and
get there before the arrow hits!”
Boy #2: Yeah? My dad fires
a gun and gets there before the

Spilyay: Well my uncle works
four-tens. That means he gets
off work at 4:00 and is home
by 3:45! YIKES!!!

A thank you
A big thank you is long over
due to those who have helped
me by providing firewood.
Thank you, Dempsey Polk
and his children, Tiger VanPelt
and his crew, and Mallory Gil
bert and her husband for their
help in splitting the blocks.
The Senior Program wasn’t
able to provide me with fire
wood, and your help has meant
a lot to me.
I would also like to say thank
you to all of the people who
helped me when the horrible fire
burned through the area around
my home.
My neighbor and nephew
Dennis Thompson and his friend
raced to my house to turn on
my water before the fire crews
arrived. They also came after the
fire fighters left to put out the
smoldering ashes. Thank you,
everybody, for your concern and
for calling to check on me.
M axine M cK in ley and
family.
Very proud
I’m very proud of my oldest
son Floyd Frank Jr., who is now
in Texas putting out the very big
fire over there. He was one of
the fire fighters who volunteered
to help put out that fire in Warm
Springs this year. You are a very
smart young man. I’m so proud
to be your mother!
Love, your mom, E ve tte

Cindy Brockett of BestCare Treatment Services
presents the books to Warm Springs Librarian Craig
Graham.
The Bullying Prevention
Committee, a sub-committee
of the Jefferson County Pre
vention Task Force, pur
chased bullying prevention
books to donate to the local
libraries as a resource for the
community.
This was done to continue
the awareness campaign on
bullying that the committee
has been working on.
The group wanted parents
and children to have a place
where they could check out
resource books if they were
interested.
Seven books by Oregon
author Trudy Ludwig were
donated to the Jefferso n
County Library, and the same
seven books were donated to
the Warm Springs Library.

The Warm Springs and
Jefferson County libraries
were very appreciative and
excited to receive the dona
tion of books. We worked
with Craig Graham at the
Warm Springs Library and
Lorene Freeman at Jefferson
County Library.

W ell, another year has
come and gone, just in the
blink of an eye! I’m talking
about Hood to Coast... We
had another fine year and
another fine team, but every
thing went by too fast!
We went slightly over our
anticipated time of 29 hours
and some odd minutes. I think
they finally got it done in 31
hours 45 minutes or some
thing like that. All in all, it was
a year to be rem em bered.
Many couldn’t focus totally
on their running, due to the
fire at home. Everyone came
back and there was still the
worry of homes being threat
ened. But it was a year of
hope o f w hat could have
been.
The team members were:
M onica Sam pson, Jo rd an
Leonard, Leslie Davis, Jayme
Schricker, Hailey Brownson,
Ina Schuster, Ryan Smith, Lex
Anguiano, Jason Smardowit,
Adam Haas, Douglas Rector,
and D on C ourtney. B ig
‘thank you’ to Don and Dou
glas for being our last minute
recruits. Congratulations to
Jordan for being our young
est; it will be a year to re
member for her! It was her
first year, her “break-in” year.
We had several rookies
this year, besides Jordan. Con
gratulations to Ryan, Dou
glas, Hailey, Jayme and Adam
(all except for Ryan and
Hailey have run HTC before,
but not with our team). We
still consider them rookies...
As always, we must thank
our sponsors: Warm Springs
Composite Products, Kah-
Nee-Ta High Desert Resort
& Casino, Brunoe Logging
and Warm Springs Market.
We couldn’t have done it
without your support and as
sistance.
Also, many, many thanks
to our families and friends
that were there to support
us during our training; al
ways, always training. They
were there for us during our
times of great stress of “can
I do this?” or “Lord, help
me get through this”; always
by our side, cheering us on
and giving us the boost we
needed.
We alw ays need your
moral support, so thank you
all for giving us that! Be look
ing for us again in 2012, we’ll
be doing our fund-raising and
getting ready for next year.

ervation Runners”
