New Show Barn going up at county fairgrounds
The Jefferson County Fair Com-
plex broke ground in September
on the new Bi-Mart Show Barn.
At 14,000 square feet, the new
show barn will be the biggest build-
ing constructed at the fairgrounds
property in over 70 years. It will
feature state-of-the-art LED light-
ing, lots of electrical outlets, water
spigots, a sound system, WiFi and
an Americans with Disabilities Act
viewing area.
“In 2020 we had to take down
the old livestock barn,” said Brian
Crow, Fairgrounds event coordina-
tor.
“The old barn was in very poor
condition and became unsafe to
occupy. At the same time, we be-
gan dreaming about what we
could do to replace that lost struc-
ture.”

$225,000 for tribal economic development
The Affiliated Tribes of North-
west Indians will receive $225,000
in federal funding to assist with
job creation and capital invest-
ment strategy. The announce-
ment came last week from
Oregon’s U.S. Senators Jeff
Merkley and Ron Wyden.
Amber Schulz-Oliver, execu-
tive director of the ATNI-Eco-
nomic Development Corporation,
commented:
“Indian Country was hard-hit
by the coronavirus pandemic, and
ATNI Economic Development
Corporation has worked to ensure
ATNI member tribal govern-
ments, citizens, Native-owned
businesses and their employees in
the Pacific Northwest have the re-
sources they need to recover and
thrive.
“This funding will support the
ATNI-EDC Comprehensive Eco-
nomic Development Strategy, and
support ATNI member tribes
meet their economic development
goals, facilitate Inter-Tribal
economy building, support for
tribal entrepreneurs, and build an
ecosystem of Tribal economic de-
velopment professionals.
“We heartily appreciate Senators
Merkley and Wyden pushing to se-
cure this funding.”

Deep Dive into the human
spine with W.S. Holistic Health
The human spine is composed
of 24 bones known as vertebrae.
The spine is divided into three
sections called the cervical spine—
the neck—, the thoracic spine—
upper to middle back—, and the
lumbar spine—the lower back.
At the base of the lumbar spine,
there are two sections of fused
bones referred to as the sacrum and
the coccyx—the tail bone.
The spine has several important
functions. It helps to hold the body
upright, support movement, and
protect the spinal cord and nerves.
Fun Facts about the spine:
The uppermost vertebrae in the
cervical spine (C1) is commonly
referred to as the “atlas.” This is
based on the Greek mythology char-
acter, Atlas. He carried the weight
of the world on his shoulders, simi-
lar to how the neck supports the
weight of the head.
Humans and long neck giraffes
both have exactly seven cervical
vertebrae.
The spine of a newborn fetus
begins to develop at about 2 months
after conception.
The human spine has over 120
muscles, allowing for strength and
flexibility.
Over one-quarter of the height
of the spine is made up of carti-
lage. Cartilage is the connective tis-
sue that provides cushion and al-
lows for smooth movement between
vertebrae.
Try this exercise to get some
movement through your spine:
Cat Cow: Position yourself on a
mat on your hands and knees. Your
hands should be directly underneath
your shoulders and your knees about
hip width apart. Start with your spine
in a neutral position. This means
that it is relatively flat without ex-
cessive arching or sagging.
For the cat phase, slowly exhale
as you activate your abdominal
muscles. Push your back up to-
wards the ceiling while your chin
tucks slightly downward. Hold this
position for about 5 seconds. This
exercise is meant to be pain free,
so only go as far as feels comfort-
able.
Slowly relax back to a neutral,
or flat spine position.
For the cow phase, you will be
moving in the opposite direction.
Gently inhale and relax your spine.
Allow gravity to assist as you slowly
let your stomach fall downwards
towards the ground. Your shoulder
blades should come together as you
lift your head towards the sky. Just
as with the previous movement,
only allow for as much motion as is
comfortable.
Repeat this transition back and
forth for 20 repetitions. Don’t for-
get to coordinate your breath with
each movement. This part may take
practice!
If you have additional questions
about the spine, please contact the
Physical Therapy Team at Warm
Springs Holistic Health for more
information. We are accepting new
patients for both in person and
telehealth appointments on a refer-
ral only basis.
