Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon July 27, 2022 Page 3 Heat causing some sidewalks to push upward As the heat wave contin- ues in the region this week, you may have noticed a few of the newer sidewalks around Warm Springs have been pushing up on hot days. Warm Springs Construction’s Mark Mann says this is be- ing seen across the region. “The cause is expansion of the concrete when the weather heats up,” Mr. Mann says. “I’m not sure why it’s so prevalent these days, as we did not see this 15 years ago and before. One theory is the use and type of re- inforcing fibers that are cur- S. Matters/KWSO Sidewalk in Warm Springs pushed up by the heat. rently used in most side- walks.” Mark explains that when long expanses of concrete heat up in the hot summer days, the concrete expands and has to find relief some- where. “Once it heaves like this, it can't just fall back into place once it cools down. Expan- sion joint material is typically installed at least every 200 feet, but it appears these days that is not enough. We install expansion joints at closer in- tervals on the work Warm Springs Construction is doing now,” Mark says. The slightly upended side- walks seem most affected when adjacent to the dip of a driveway approach. of inclusion, diversity Fast-growing Deschutes County—among the fastest growning regions in the state—is the best example: Over the past 10 years, Deschutes County residents have deepened an average of 29 wells per year. Last year, that shot up to 60. Now, with development booming, more than 1,100 new wells have been drilled since 2020 alone. State regulators have long taken a timid approach to safeguarding groundwater for domestic wells, which aren’t regulated like larger commercial or agricultural uses. People who complain about dry home wells are of- ten told that the only recourse in state law is to keep digging deeper. Near Redmond, the water level in monitored wells has been shrinking more than a foot per year for decades, state data show.

As of this time last week, there were 17 confirmed cases among the community. As shown on the graph, recent weeks have seen a increase in cases following the very low-to-zero numbers registered in March. Last week, there was one person in the hospital because of covid. Since the pandemic began in spring 2020, thirty-six among the community have died from the virus. From the Bend area all the northward to Lake Billy Chi- nook, groundwater average depth is deepening.

(from page 1) Among her experiences, Dr. Tippett worked in the PTSD Outpatient Clinic at the Seattle VA Medical Cen- ter, winning the VA Indi- vidual Special Contribution Award, recognizing her cul- tural awareness trainings; plus the VA Sustained Superior Performance Award. With these and other ac- complishments, Dr. Tippett returned to Central Oregon. For a time she served as the tribes’ director of the Community Mental Health, and the Alcohol and Drug program. In 2015 she joined the St. Charles Family Care Clinic as Clinical Psychologist. Then last December she be- came the first St. Charles Health System Manager of Inclusion and Experience. Distinguished Alumnus Another life milestone happened for her earlier this year, when the Oklahoma State University Department of Psychology honored Doc- tor Tippett as the 2022 Dis- tinguished American Indian Psychology Alumnus. The university cites specifically her career and contributions to Native American mental health. The award ceremony was a rare and special event, as her parents and three chil- dren traveled with her to Stillwater for the occasion. In announcing the honor Oklahoma State mentions the following, words that speak to the focus of her work: Dr. Shilo Shaw Tippett Since the beginning of Dr. Tippett’s career in psychol- ogy, she has prioritized Na- tive American health and wellbeing. Before her doc- toral training, she was a re- search coordinator, examin- ing the factors that influenced child outcomes in a Native American Head Start pro- gram. While at Oklahoma State, she conducted research as- sessing outcomes for Native American survivors of child abuse, as well as the academic achievement of Native American college students. She has successfully at- tained five different grants for Native American child developmental programs, and ser ved on many different committees throughout the past 20 years as an advisory member to promote the needs of Native Americans and ensure Native culture is being provided in various health settings, work she now carries on for the St. Charles Health System. The Branch of Natural Resources invites the tribal public to attend and contribute feedback on the Tenino Hazard Fuels Reduction Project and Clackamas Meadows Timber Sale. The scoping meeting will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, August 3 at the Fire Management training room.
