The Warm Springs OSU Ex­
tension Office hosted the annual
horse vaccination clinic at the
rodeo grounds last week.
A veterinarian and veterinar­
ian technician with the USDA
Animal and Plant Health Inspec­
tion Service (APHIS) were on
hand to help administer the vac­
cinations.
APHIS and Extension part­
ner to provide the vaccination
clinic for tribal ranchers and
other horse owners, said Fara
Brummer, o f OSU Extension.
Warm Springs has been fortu­
nate, she said, because not all
reservations have the service.
The clinic began eight years
ago and has expanded since that
time, said Brummer.
There was a steady flow o f
h o rse trailers at th e ro d e o
grounds during the clinic, show­
ing that many horse-owners took
th e o p p o rtu n ity to get their
horses vaccinated. A total o f
42 h o rses w ere v accin ated ,
w ormed and blood-tested dur­
ing the clinic, Brummer said.
The shot cost $29, and was
for five diseases, eastern and
western encephalomyelitis, in­
fluenza, tetanus and west Nile.
The vets also offered a paste

T he C onfederated Tribes,
u n d er the leadership o f the
Tribal Council, has been mov­
ing to implement provisions o f
the 2010 Indian Law and O r­
der A ct to better ensure the de­
livery o f community safety and
justice programs
According to the law, in or­
der to prosecute more serious
crimes on the reservation, the
tribes w ould be req u ired to
m eet certain minim um justice
standards. The authority for in­
carceration may be expanded
for sentencing up to nine years.
Tribes would be required to law
trained judges for these cases.
Also, the defendants in more
serious cases would be entitled
to representation by a lawyer;
and the Court o f Appeals judges
would also haVe law degrees.
F or instance, the tribal jail
would have to be modified or
replaced to meet standards for
lo n g e r-te rm in c a rc e ra tio n ,
term s lo n g er th a t one year.
Tribal Council is in the process

“F rom then,” Collins said,
“the company will have 45 days
to complete the well. The geo­
tech w ork will be done right
along with the well construction,
so we can get right to work bn
the pipeline construction.”
“I ’ll be glad n o t to have to

Simnasho resident Roberta Kirk
said. “They take up a lot o f

probably hard, too, for the el­

dispensers, they’re heavy.”

“This is going to be a fairly
big undertaking,” Collins said.
“We’ll have to bore under the
highway and run the system to
Simnasho. Getting down Bea­
ver grade is going to be the big­
ger challenge.”
To solve this problem, a wa­
ter storage tank will be con­
structed at the top o f the grade.
“ With the tank, we’ll always
have a full line o f w ater, so
there’s going to be a good water
hammer there.”

Today, cooking is Buffalo’s
passion. H e enjoys w orking
with new ingredients and inter­
acting with the customers at the
restaurant. Having reached his
goal o f becoming a cook, there
is yet another dream Buffalo
would like to achieve.
“I w ant to eventually open
my own food truck,” Buffalo
says. “I have the trailer, I’d like
to p u t' to g e th e r a p o rta b le
kitchen and park it by Macy’s
or down at the Community Cen­
ter during the evenings.”
For now, Buffalo is proud o f
his work. H e invites everybody
to the restaurant to try the food.
“E v e ry b o d y likes the C edar
Plate Salmon. New York or rib
eye are awesome. We now have
baby back ribs. C hef Oscar is
w o rk in g o n th e T ato n k a
Burger— he makes a huge fry
bread and cuts it in h alf and
uses that for the bun.”
Buffalo smiles. “People see
me, what I ’m doing now com­
pared to what I was like. They
think, ‘I f he can make things
right then maybe I can too.’ I
was a bad kid. I ’d rather be
doing what I ’m doing now. You
don’t have to worry about always
looking over your shoulder.”
