Location
A truck stop, casino etc. in
that location, there is a strong
fumy gassiness odor emitted
by the company located next
door and just up wind. The
smelly odor is one reason I
voted no on the Madras ca-
sino. The majority of tribal
members exercised their sov-
ereign rights and it was voted
down by popular referen-
dum. Now by recommenda-
tion by the Warm Springs
Gaming board and manage-
ment the truck and casino etc.
The next Spilyay
Tymoo will come out on
August 17, with a sub-
mission deadline of Fri-
day, August 12.
is going forward. Well there
is already competition at the
location. With the reeking
smelly odor I question hospi-
tality business in that location.
Maybe more appropriate
would be a manufacturing
business, like use the build-
ings to make solar panels or
some other up and coming
business.
It is a sad time to me, like
a death to see the mill shut
down. We saw it coming. No
profit for years. It was said
by the ol’ timers when the
mill first opened the lumber
was Warm Springs, good, one
board sold for ten dollars.
Now days ten boards sold for
one dollar. Also at a mill meet-
ing a GM under pressure said
this month we made a profit
for the tribes but next month
that’s not going to happen.
And he was right. The WSFPI
powerhouse has two electric-
ity generating turbines, equip-
ment that should not be sold
out, and kept intact to gener-
ate heat and electricity for
Composite. I would not want
to see two enterprises go belly
up on my watch. The benefits
could be huge with many jobs
created like getting hog fuel
wood chips for the boilers to
produce steam. Also maybe
sell electricity to the power
company like 15 years ago
profiting ten thousand dollars
per day, or just sell out the
turbines for someone else to
make ten thousand dollars per
day.
Awe-Na,
Tony
Littleleaf.

Extension
garden advice
This time of year can be a
challenge with your garden
due to all of the hungry cus-
tomers (insects) that feel like
they should share in your
hard work.
The question that quickly
arises is how much can I do-
nate to the bugs before I have
to take action?
I always figure a little bit
of damage is just our pay-
ment to Mother Nature.
However, if the bugs are tak-
ing more than their fair share
there are several options that
you can take.
First, ask yourself if you
want to remain organic or go
ahead and blast them with a
synthetic insecticide. There
are several chemical sprays
available, just be sure to check
the label to be sure they are
safe to use on vegetables and
relatively bee safe.
If organic is your choice,
than you need to take action
sooner than later, as most or-
ganic insecticides work best
when insect populations are
low. A large infestation of
insects is very difficult to con-
trol with most organic sprays.
Secondly, be certain to
spray when bees are not
present in your garden re-
gardless if it is organic or in-
organic insecticide. Experts
agree that is either dawn or
dusk.
Also, even if it is an or-
ganic spray, be sure to wear
protective clothing and safety
glasses to prevent exposure
or injury.
If you are interested in
learning more about protect-
ing your garden from insects
and weeds, OSU Extension is
hosting a lunch and learn gar-
dening class on Tuesday, Au-
gust 9 at 12 p.m. in the base-
ment of the Warm Springs
Education building.
