Recurring problem by landfill
The Utilities Depart-
ment workers at the Dry
Creek Landfill and Trans-
fer Station just spent many
days cleaning up an area
that is near the landfill-
transfer station.
The area had been used
for illegal dumping for
many months.
The area, an old shoot-
ing range, stayed clean for
a short time, and then
someone recently began
leaving garbage there
again.
This is especially dis-
couraging, as the landfill-
transfer station is located
about a third of mile fur-
ther down the road, said
Tony Wergin, recycling
technician with the Utili-
ties Department. The
transfer station is open 24
hours a day, seven days a
week; and the landfill is
open 8 to 5 p.m., Mon-
day through Friday.
Utilities is asking
members to use the fa-
cilities, rather than
undesignated
areas
where dumping is pro-
hibited. And if you see
someone who is violat-
ing the prohibition,
please call the police.
The area is clearly
marked with ‘no dumping’
signs. For information,
you can reach the trans-
fer station at 541-553-
3163.
The Tribal Council Chair
and Chief Delvis Heath are
specifically invited, with a
request from the U.S. For-
est Ser vice for Chief
Heath to perform a bless-
ing as part of the event.

The Pi-Ume-Sha Com-
mittee is getting ready for
the Forty-Seventh Annual Pi-
Ume-Sha Treaty Days. The
