Spilyay Tym oo, W arm Springs, Oregon Pgge 2 Preparing ground for the new school The building site for the new Warm Springs last Fri day was blessed with Washat and Shaker services. The new school “is a re newal o f our commitment to o u r stu d e n ts,” said Jo d y Calica, Secretary-Treasurer. A W arm S prings k-8 school has been talked about for 20 years, and the project is finally becoming a reality, Calica said. Bobby Brunoe, director o f Natural Resources, spoke o f the personal significance o f the school site. Growing up, he said, his family had farmland nearby. “We .were always taught: education, edu cation, education. My grand father w ould be pro u d o f this.” Laurie Danzuka, school board chairwoman, and Rick Molitor, district superinten dent, welcomed the commu nity, expressing their appre ciation for everyone who has supported the k-8 project. T h e S haker C h u rch opened the ceremony, and the Washat brought the bless ing to a close. T h e co n stru c tio n start date is still set for .July. O n th a t schedule, the school would open for the fall term o f 2014. May i 2013 Mothers D ay sale Friday Warm Springs Recreation will host a Mothers Day Sale from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Fri d a y May 3.

COCC winter Dean’s List Dave McMechan/Spilyay Washat Service at the site of the new school. The delay has been financ ing, in particular the USDA loan that the tribes are apply ing for. The tribes are borrowing $6.5 million. The tribes have also designated approximately $3.5 million in tribal funding to the project. T h e sc h o o l d istric t is matching the amount with a $10 m illio n c o n trib u tio n funded through property tax. The district last spring passed a $26 million bond levy that includes the portion for the Warm Springs school. O ther district projects are a p er forming arts center and new high school sports facilities. In a recent development, the school district decided to split th e W arm Springs portion o f the district bond fro m th e M ad ras sc h o o l projects. This was necessary, as the USDA has taken longer than expected, and th e d istrict needs to start on the high school and other projects in cluded in the. bond levy. — Dave McMechan D an a H u rta d o and Krysten Saldana were named recently to the Central O r egon C om m unity College winter-term Dean’s List. The COCC Dean’s List is based on enrollment in 12 or m o re cre d it h o u rs and a grade-point average o f 3.60 or above.
