Solar power
In some parts of the country, the
flu season this year is the worst in
13 years, according to federal
health data. Fortunately, the IHS
Warm Springs clinic has a good sup-
ply of vaccines available.
All people age 6 months and
older are encouraged to receive a
flu vaccine. The vaccine is espe-
cially important for people at higher
risk of having serious complications
from the flu virus. For more infor-
mation or for an appointment, call
the clinic.
Meanwhile, the latest covid
booster shots are also available, de-
signed to help address the most re-
cent variants. You can schedule an
appointment at 541-553-2610.

Meanwhile, Mr. Watson and
the Community Action Team
are working to secure funding
for the solar panels that will be
on the Commissary roof, and
on the land adjacent to the
Commissary.
“We’ve been in conversa-
tions with representatives from
Pacific Power’s Blue Sky pro-
gram and the Energy Trust of
Oregon,” Mr. Watson said. “And
we’re applying for state reim-
bursement funding and federal
tax credits that will enable us to
raise all of the funds for a
$200,000 solar project.”
The Community Action
Team is also putting solar pan-

els on the WSCAT building itself.
This is a $67,000 project that will
be funded with reimbursement
grants from the Energy Trust of
Oregon, the Oregon Department
of Energy, a donation from the
Portland United Methodist Church,
and a federal tax credit. WSCAT
will add another $7,000 or $8,000,
which will be earned back in power
savings within about a year, Watson
said.
“We’re excited about being a net-
zero energy organization,” he said.
“Solar panels on the WSCAT build-
ing will go up by the end of 2022,
and we expect to set up panels at
the Commissary site by the end of
2023.”
Construction on the Commis-
sary and at the Commissary site will
be on hold beginning at the end of
this month, when the K3 waterline
project is complete, and is sched-
uled to resume in spring as more
funding arrives.
Recently, the Visit Bend
Sustainability fund awarded
WSCAT $250,000 for the Com-
missary project. This will fund
construction of the pavilion and
food court area outside the Com-
missary.
Also meanwhile, the Community
Action Team will hold a public
meeting on Tuesday, November 29
at the WSCAT office, starting at
noon.
The meeting is to provide the
Warm Springs community with an
update on project progress, to pro-
vide prospective Commissary-
based entrepreneurs with an under-
standing of how to get a retail or
office space, and to learn from
community members what they
hope to see at the space.
Through public input sessions
in the past, WSCAT has already
heard from over 200 community
members regarding the Commis-
sary business project. See the Pub-
lic Meeting Notice on page 2.
