Museum exhibit
features extraordinary
Cradle Boards
Our children were adored—From their first
baby boards to the clothes they wore when they
began to walk, and the toys and dolls they
played with.
These exquisite items expressed the family’s
deep love for the child. Yet of all the beauti-
fully made childhood treasures, the
cradleboard was by the far the most extraordi-
nar y.
The Museum at Warm Springs invites you
to the exhibit—Babies First Home: Cradle
Boards of the Confederated Tribes of
Warm Springs—on display through early
June.
For the exchange students
Letter in support of Miller for 509-J school board
I write this letter in sup-
port of Carina Miller, who
is running for seat no. 5 on
the Jefferson County 509-
J school board.
I have known Carina all
her life and have spent the
past three years working
with her on the War m
Springs Tribal Council.
At that table she has been
an advocate for children,
families and education.
She is a hard worker and
cares deeply about people.
Carina has educated her-
self about unfamiliar issues
and has the ability to con-
sider multiple perspectives
in search of true solutions.
The Warm Springs and
Madras communities are
linked in many ways, one
of which is our public edu-
cation system.
We all want what’s best
for all our children and I
know Carina Miller would
contribute to that as a school
board member.
Thank you.

Kiandra Smith, classmates and teacher Andrew Smiley
will be traveling to Tomi, Japan in June.
M adras High School student Kianda Smith and classmates
will be traveling to the Tomi, Japan as exchange students
this summer.
The students and chaperone Andrew Smiley, teacher at
the Warm Springs Academy, this Saturday, April 27, will
host a car wash fundraiser to help pay for the trip.
The car wash will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the
parking lot of Les Schwabb Tires in Madras.
All proceeds benefit the 2019 exchange trip—Come
and get your car cleaned and support the students! Sug-
gested donations are $10 per vehicle, and $15 for a large
truck or van.
If you are a horse owner
and plan a trip out of state,
you are required to obtain a
health certificate from a vet-
erinarian and have proof
your horse has been Coggins
tested.
The test was developed
by Dr. Leroy Coggins in
1970 and remains the most
definitive test for Equine
Infectious Anemia.
All states require a nega-
tive Coggins test before a
horse may be transported
across state lines.
Most horse shows, ro-
deos, and auctions where
horses are gathered in one
place require a negative
Coggins test for all horses
entered.
The clinic will
run from 10:30-
12:30 on Wednes-
day, May 15 at the
Warm Springs
rodeo arena.
Depending on the state
or competition, this nega-
tive test must have been ob-
tained during the previous
6-12 months. The Coggins
test is simple, inexpensive,
and well worth the peace of
mind that comes from
knowing your horse re-
mains negative for EIA.
Sometimes referred to as
horse malaria or swamp fe-
ver, Equine Infectious Ane-
mia (EIA) is a nasty virus
that causes destruction of
the horse’s red blood cells,
causing anemia, weakness,
and death. The EIA virus is
primarily spread through bit-
ing insects like horse and
deer flies. EIA may also be
spread through contami-
nated needles or surgical in-
struments.
Oregon State Extension
will be hosting a Coggins
testing and annual horse vac-
cination clinic on Wednesday,
May 15. A USDA veteri-
narian will be there to pro-
vide Coggins testing, annual
vaccinations and de-worm-
ing for your horse.
The clinic will run from
10:30-12:30 at the Warm
Springs rodeo arena.
If you are interested in
getting your horse tested,
please call the War m
Springs Extension office
at 541-553-3238; or Scott
Duggan at 541-480-3091.
We need to know how
many horses you want
Cog gins tested, if you
want the annual four-way
vaccine given and if you
want a de-wor mer for
your horse.
We have to order vac-
cines two weeks before the
clinic so you need to con-
tact us in advance for this
service. Check out the
OSU Extension War m
Springs Facebook for
more information.
