Greenhouse site topic of discussion
The Tribal Land-Use
Committee and War m
Springs Ventures met with
community members last
week in regard to the loca-
tion of the cannabis green-
house.
The preferred site is in the
Lower Dry Creek area, past
the landfill on the way to the
water treatment plant. The
siting process involves an
evaluation by the Natural Re-
sources Branch, based on the
Integrated Resource Man-
agement Plan (IRMP).
The IRMP process began
The Warm Springs
TERO office, and the
Workforce Innovation

last week, and could take an-
other week. The Land-Use
Committee will review the
proposal, and then make a
recommendation to Tribal
Council. A number of factors
make the Lower Dry Creek
site the preferred site by Ven-

tures. For instance, the site
is located away from resi-
dences, the nearest being
about a mile and a half away.
Proposed update to dog control ordinance
The dog control ordinance
of the Confederated Tribes
dates back to 1962. Tribal
sanitarian Nancy Collins has
been working on an updated
ordinance.
She has presented the
draft to the Justice and other
tribal committees, and to
community members.
The intent of proposed
update is to hold dog owners
responsible for the animals,
Nancy said. This would help
reduce the rate of dog bites
on the reservation, which is
higher than average. The
changes would also be more
humane for the animals.
After public comment,
the proposal will be pre-
sented to Tribal Council.
For information call 541-
553-4943.

Tribes look to
dedicate Red Hills
The Confederated
Tribes last year acquired
the Red Hills conservation
property. The 278 acres
are located in Yamhill
County, in the Willamette
Valley.
The tribes acquired the
land through the BPA
mitigation program. The
Culture and Heritage
Committee would like to
help in hosting a dedica-
tion event for the property,
said Lepha Marie Smith,
committee chair.
The idea is to take a
bus to the property for
the celebration, she said.
The site is a usual and ac-
customed place of the
tribes.
The tribes manage the
Red Hills property for
fish and wildlife. The
management plan could
include some hunting op-
portunities for tribal
members, said Clay
Penhollow, of the Branch
of Natural Resources.
A Pet Clinic is coming up this weekend. There
will be pet shots for $15; licenses for $5; and
spay and neuter vouchers. The Pet Clinis will be
on Saturday, March 19, from 2 to 4 p.m., at the
old ambulance bay across from the post office.
The transactions are cash only.
