BIA campus structures to be removed
Tribal Public Utilities will
host public meetings this
month to advise the commu-
nity of the plan to remove
the old BIA homes and
structures in the Agency cam-
pus area.
The plan also calls for re-
moval of the old school in
Simnasho, said Utilities gen-
eral manager Don Courtney.
The demolition process
first involved level 1 and 2
Environmental and the His-
torical and Cultural resource
surveys.
These are now complete,
and several request for pro-
posals will lay the ground
work for a number of struc-
tures to demolished.
Mr. Courtney advises the
area residents to stay clear
of the old structures be-
cause of unsafe levels of
asbestos and lead paint.
While lying dormant, he
said, the buildings pose a low
health risk. However, once
the structures are disturbed,
the risk could elevate.
Courtney asks community
members not to go into the
old structures.
Pathways Home classes starting
The Pathways Home
seven-week home-owner-
ship course will begin on
March 7. Classes will be
on Tuesday evenings
from 5:30-7:30 at the
Credit building.
To sign up for the
course, call 541-553-3148.
This course is required
for everyone in the IDA
Program for home own-
ership, but is open to any-
one who wants to learn
how to become a success-
ful homeowner.
Proper handling, packag-
ing, and disposal will be
handled by certified staff
and contractors, once the
contractor selection is made.
Look for notices, or lis-
ten to KWSO for further de-
tails on the meetings and
progress as the project gets
underway.
Removal of the old and
abandoned BIA campus
structures is part of the long-
term downtown, or campus
improvement plan.
Replacement of the old
infrastructure pipes is an-
other phase. This has been
a project on the tribes’ com-
munity and business devel-
opment agenda for many
years.
Required funding from
the BIA has been the ob-
stacle toward completing the
infrastructure work.
The existing pipes in the
campus area are 1930s era,
including wooden piping.
The issue came up at
Tribal Council on Monday,
during an update from
Chief Operations Officer
Alyssa Macy.
Tribal Councilman Jody
Calica suggested that the
BIA officers come in and
meet with Tribal Council.
The infrastructure mat-
ter has been on-going for
many years, he said; while
the Supreme Court case
U.S . vs. W hite Mountain
Apache Tribe makes clear
the BIA responsibility for
the project.

Lamprey at High Desert
A pair of Pacific lam-
preys arrived last week at
the High Desert Museum.
This is part of an ef-
fort to restore the threat-
ened population of the
fish, a first food of the
tribes.
Lampreys were abun-
dant in the Upper
Deschutes before the con-
struction of dams in the
watershed.
Now they are rarely
seen in the upper parts of
the Deschutes.
The Confederated
Tribes of Warm Springs,
the Umatilla, Yakama and
Nez Perce are working to-
gether to help restore the
lamprey.
For several years, tribes
have been moving lam-
preys to the Upper
Umatilla River basin and
other streams in Eastern
Oregon and Idaho. The
fish are collected in places
such as Willamette Falls
near Oregon City or at the
Bonneville Dam.
