Fire agencies begin new burn program

Grow enterprise begins construction phase

Graduationceremoniescoming up

The Madras High School gradu-ation will be on Saturday, June 4,starting at 2 p.m. Graduation is heldat the football stadium.

The eighth-graders in June willbe graduating from the WarmSprings Academy. A date was notyet available as of earlier this week.

The Early Childhood Educationgraduation is set for June 10, start-ing at 10 a.m. at the communitycenter.

Some other dates to keep inmind during this graduation time:

The Warm Springs GraduationBanquet for the Class of 2016 isscheduled for the evening of Fri-day, June 10, at the AgencyLonghouse.

High school grads, for informa-tion call Carroll at 541-553-3311.For higher education graduates, con-tact Becky Picard at the TribalCouncil office.

The Simnasho Grads’ Night OutPowwow is set for Wednesday, May25 at the Simnasho Longhouse. Pot-luck dinner at 6, and the powwowat 7.

Construction is scheduled tostart soon on the grow facilitythat will house the tribes’ can-nabis enterprise.

The construction phase willtake four to five months, withVentures estimating a comple-tion time around October.

Meanwhile, the buildingphase is generating new con-struction jobs, said DonSampson, Ventures executivedirector.

The ground-breaking cer-emony for the project provedto be a popular event. Onhand were many communitymembers, plus the tribes’ part-ners in the project, and federaland state officials.

Stan Speaks, BIA North-west regional director, men-tioned how the tribes and Ven-tures have handled a uniqueand potentially complicatedbusiness idea.

“They have been very carefuland very cautious,” Mr. Speaks saidof the tribes. “They are certainlygoing to be a model.”

An economic study has projectedsignificant revenue, possibly morethan $20 million a year when in fulloperation, from the cannabis enter-prise. “But this is bigger than dol-lars and cents,” said Pit-ta Pitt,project coordinator.

“This is not a quick fix,” he said.“This is about a group of peopletrying to find a way to educate,clothe and house themselves.”

The greenhouse and the tribes’retail shops will create about 80 newjobs, according to the study devel-oped last year.

For the shops, Ventures has beenlooking at sites in Portland, Bend,Hood River, Eugene, Salem and

Government Camp.The greenhouse itself, on Lower

Dry Creek Road, will be 36,000square feet.

Ventures is planning to host jobfairs in the community in June orJuly.

The cannabis project is comingon-line as the tribes are looking tonew sources of general fund rev-

Helping with the ground-breaking were Ellen Grover, ChrisHardiman, Mark McNeely, Don Sampson, Pi-Ta Pitt, ShawnPhllips, Roy Sampsel and Erin Phillips (from left).

The program involves helicopter aerial-controlled burn ignition.Dave McMechan/Spilyay

Warm Springs Fire Manage-ment and the BIA this weekbegan a program to conductcontrolled burns with the use ofa helicopter. The aerial ignitionburns were scheduled to startthis week on the Metolius Bencharea of the reservation, saidBrad Donahue, of Fire Manage-ment fuels.

The aerial ignition programincludes a class that is conductedat Fire Management, providingcertification for firefighters in-terested in taking part in theaerial ignition program.

Firefighters were on handfrom California, Arizona, Wash-ington and other areas, plus fromWarm Springs.

Fire Management has notused aerial ignition of controlledburns since 1989. Then last year,

national BIA fire officials were inWarm Springs on other business,and suggested holding a training herethis year. Fire Management agreed.

The plan is to control burn about4,000 acres at the Metolius Bench,

which would help reduce the threatof a major wildfire later in the year,Donahue said.

Fire Management has had a con-trolled burn program for severalyears, with the ignition done by hand

on the ground.For a 4,000-acre project, this

can take two to three weeks,whereas aerial ignition can ac-complish this in a day or so,Donahue said.

Fire Management-BIA isusing a helicopter and pilotfrom Bend. Crew memberscarry out the aerial ignition withthe use of what are nick-named“ping pong balls.”

These are small plasticspheres filled with potassiumpermanganate. When the heli-copter is over the area to beburned, the balls are injectedwith ethylene glycol and imme-diately jettisoned.

VDOS Global, workingwith Ventures - Eagle Tech waspossibly going to use a droneto record the process.

The Twenty-Sixth Annual HonorSeniors Day is this Friday, May 13.

Honor Seniors Day is hosted bythe Warm Springs Senior Program.The popular event will see hundredsof guests from around the regionvisiting the reservation.

Volunteers of all kinds areneeded. If you would like to help,contact the Senior Program at 553-3313.

the mill would be contributingto the general fund. That is nolonger the case, as WSFPI is inreceivership.

Another challenge becameapparent just recently:

Last fall, Warm SpringsPower and Water Enterprisesprojected a dividend of $2 mil-lion for the current year bud-get.

However, an announcementthis week is that the Power andWater dividend will be $1 mil-lion—leaving another $1 millionshort for the present year. (Anexplanation of this situation is onpage 5.)

Clearly, the new Council isdealing with serious challenges.But fortunately there are somenew opportunities on the hori-zon.

Challenges, opportunities for new Council

Dave McMechan/Spilyay

Council members Lee Tom, Raymond Tsumpti, Carina Miller, ValSwitzler, Ron Suppah, Jody Calica and Austin Greene (from left) takethe oath of office at the start of the Twenty-Seventh Tribal Council.

The new Tribal Council took of-fice this month, during a time ofgreat opportunity, as well as seriouschallenges for the ConfederatedTribes.

The tribal budget will be a criti-cal point of focus, not only lookingto 2017, but for the current year aswell.

On the bright side, the Twenty-Seventh Tribal Council is taking of-fice just as the cannabis enterpriseis beginning the greenhouse con-struction phase. In time, this projectcould generate millions in needednew revenue.

Another positive development:The tribes and Natural ResourcesBranch are developing a new enter-prise to realize value from the res-ervation forest products.

There are logs at the mill, andothers in the forest that can be sold

at market value, bringing in trustrevenue. The forest products situ-ation, though, has two significantdown sides:

First, about 80 tribal memberslost their jobs this year, when Warm

Springs Forest Products Industriesshut down.

And second: Last year the pre-vious Tribal Council, finance andmanagement developed the currentyear budget on an assumption that

enue.Forest products, and power

generation from the hydro-electric dams once were thefinancial basis for the tribes.

These industries, though,can no longer provide thesame kind of economicfoundation.

The Warm SpringsOregon State ExtensionUnit was informed lastweek that corn used in anApril dehydrating class inWarm Springs was partof a voluntary Costco re-call.

There is a very slightpossibility that the cornwas contaminated withlisteria. No cases of ill-ness have been reportedin association with therecall. The dehydratedcorn poses very low riskof infection due to thedehydration process, ac-cording to Tom Machala,Jefferson County PublicHealth director.

Listeria is a food-borneillness which in healthypeople is self-limiting. Itis a significant concernfor pregnant women, asit can be passed on to thefetus; and for childrenunder 5, the elderly, andthose who are immunecompromised. Symp-toms run the gamut fromfever and body aches toneurological symptoms.

The self-limiting formhas onset within 48 hoursof exposure (eating con-taminated food), whereasthe more serious systemicform can have a delayedonset of days to weeks

after exposure.Families of children

from the Warm SpringsBoys and Girls Club whotook the April 11 classare encouraged to throwaway, without touchingthe contents, any remain-ing dehydrated corn. Ifcommunity membershave purchased frozencorn from Costco be-tween September 2015and April 2016 with theCRF Frozen Foods Or-ganic by Nature label,please throw it away im-mediately.

Please wash hands fol-lowing contact with thecorn products.

High-risk individuals,especially pregnantwomen, who may haveconsumed the dehy-drated corn, or pur-chased the recalled cornon their own, are encour-aged to call theirhealthcare provider.

I was recently honoredwith a War Bonnet Cer-emony at the SimnashoLonghouse.

At the District meetingfor Tribal Council nomi-nations, Chief DelvisHeath informed me hewould announce that Iwould be named sub-chief.

It was good to see thefamily, relatives, friendsand honored guests in at-tendance.

There was ChiefDelvis along with his wifeShirley, also ColumbiaRiver Chief WilburSlockish and Suzie, andLoren Slockish, who car-ried the War Bonnet as wedanced in.

We had some confu-sion about the ceremony;however, these persons—Fred Wallulatum, who of-ficiated the Waashat, thedrummers, as well as oth-ers—helped to make surethe ceremony was carriedout. I asked my son Os-car to provide the drum,so Aaron and AustinGreene brought theirdrum. Thanks to thosewho sat in with them.

I would like to thankthe veterans that dancedwith me. I would like tomention my friend andcomrade Dave Richard-son, who I served with.Only in the last few yearshad we made contactagain. He was pleasedand mentioned he wastreated real well. He men-tioned Frogman and Kate,who remembered sittingacross from him at themeal.

I would like to thank RonSuppah, who has been realsupportive, and Jody Calicaand brother Raymond aswell. Thank you to AustinGreene and his family, andChief Joe Moses andTeeney. Thanks to mybrother Ralph and my sisterKat. I really should visit withthem more.

My wife Nola did a lot ofworking getting prepared forthe ceremony. I am proudthat she worked so hard de-spite being handicapped withcommunication problemsfollowing her stroke last year.Louella and Jessie workedhard too, and they had Me-morial and Name-Giving totake care of. Doug Jacksonprovided the deer meat forthe meal.

My children were allthere: My daughters Rena,Michelle, Deirdre and myson Oscar—thanks to thegrandchildren too.

Thanks to Jessie and herdaughters, and Louella andher children. I was gladdenedto see Irenecia and Janayadancing during the Waashat.I have been encouragingthem to get out there, andthey did.

Thank you to my niecesAlice, Katie and Lois, whoprepared the meal. It mustbe said that they offered todo this, and did not have tobe asked.

Special thanks go out toJP and Priscilla, who got adonation from the board forfood for the meal.

I was glad to see Muffand Captain there, along withAnimal and Hickster. It wasgood to see Eileen and her

sister Phyllis there. I wastouched by a story Eileentold me of my sisterAntoinette seeing me in aWar Bonnet that Eileen’smom Adeline let me use.Adeline always encour-aged me to wear the WarBonnet. This brings backmemories of others whohave left us who also en-couraged me in this way.

Thanks to my cousinDarlou who went throughschool with and grew upwith her.

This is the time of theyear when Mother Earthis renewing herself. Thesalmon began their jour-ney back up the river, re-turning from the ocean,and the roots which areimportant to our peoplewere emerging.

It is also a time whenour families have lostloved ones, both this yearand last year. Our peoplewere remembering thoselost and thanking the Cre-ator for the return of thesalmon and the roots allalong the river. Relativesand friends were involvedwith these events, andwere unable to be with us.They have spoken to meand I thank them for theirsupport.

I would like to say Iam honored by ChiefDelvis that he named meas Sub-Chief, and thatwhen the time comes I willdo my best to live up tohis expectations, as well asthose I will be serving.

Thank you all,Rafael Queahpama.

Go carefully into that darknight.

Legal business affairs need tobe carefully handled by peoplewith legal expertise. That usuallymeans by an attorney or after con-sultation with an attorney.

Don’t be a legal “Do-it-Yourselfer”.

If you have not done your due

diligence, you may be a danger toyourself and to your business.

For example, the legal meaningsof many words or phrases are of-ten not the same as the “street”meanings. I have seen people losecases because of some very simplemisunderstandings.

Do-it-Yourselfers often turn toSelf-Help sources for legal guid-ance. Those providers are oftennot trained in the law. All they cando, and should do, is refer you tosources.

That leaves it up to you to un-

Self help legal advice can cause serious consequencesBy Bruce Engle

Loan officerW.S. Credit Enterprise

derstand what you are reading.The danger is when an untrained

provider offers legal advice.I have seen an untrained unli-

censed store owner’s advice resultin a couple bankruptcies downhome.

Remember, legal advice cannotbe relied upon from anyone who isnot an attorney. They must be prop-erly licensed by a state. And theymust be insured.

That’s your safety blanket if theymess up. You can sue one of them.You can’t sue yourself.

You can shop for an attorney.You should. The first short inter-view often won’t cost you. Ask.

What does that mean for WarmSprings? In Tribal Court, all legalspokesmen must have taken andpassed the Tribal Bar Exam. Youdon’t want to saddle your spokes-man in court with a case that startedout because you got and acted uponpoor legal advice from an incom-petent.

Errors made in a self-help jobwill cost you. Count on it.

Also remember the old saying,“An attorney who represents him-self has a fool for a client.” Wewho are not attorneys would beeven more foolish. Not good!

Our limited knowledge and ex-perience, when combined with ouremotions, can and will make usfair game to an expert on theother side. The rule is, “Pros beatamateurs.”

Another way of saying that is,“You don’t win the Derby with aDonkey.”

During the past five years wehave experienced unprecedentedprice drops in the wholesale energymarket in the Northwest.

There are several factors thathave changed the landscape forenergy producers in the Northwest.The two biggest factors are renew-able energy resources and naturalgas.

At any given hour we can seewind generation go from zero mega-watts to 4,000 megawatts. This hasa big impact on market prices andaffects all available energy to meetdemand.

The other renewable resource af-fecting the market price is solarpower. This resource is coming onstrong and we will see more andmore solar in the coming years.

The number of new renewableenergy developments has increasedin the Northwest, and by all ac-counts will continue to increasethrough the next decade.

The other large influence caus-ing energy prices to remain low is

the current price of natural gas, an-other fuel supply for power stationsin the region.

Right now natural gas prices areat the same levels they were backin 1991. A new method for extrac-tion through a process calledfracking has increased the supply,making it more economical to gen-erate power with gas turbines likethe combined cycle combustion tur-bines.

Enterprise dividendBecause of a large supply of low

cost fuel, gas fired plants are run-ning at lower operating costs, whichin turn drives energy market pric-ing down.

In 2015, we struggled due to theprice drops, and the dividend pay-ment was met with reserve fundsfrom Warm Springs Power & Wa-ter Enterprises (WSPWE) invest-ments.

We will be hard pressed basedon what we know today to continueusing reserves to pay a dividend.

The board of directors has madeit very clear we must take drasticmeasures to insure we as an oper-ating division of the tribes stay fi-nancially solvent. With that, the divi-dend payment will be potentiallyreduced to levels not typical fromWSPWE.

GeothermalWe will continue to explore other

generating opportunities, and see ifwe can put together a viable projectthat will be needed in the renew-able energy requirements that thelarge utilities will be required to havein the near future.

We received a grant to explore

our renewable energy potential hereon the reservation. This year wedid some surface work to identifywhere the highest potential may befor a geothermal resource for apower plant.

That information yielded enoughpositive information to submit arequest to further our explorationand drill at a few sites in the WarmSprings River Basin area upstreamfrom Kah-Nee-Ta.

Water rightsTribal Council has also authorized

us to explore the consumptive wa-ter rights we have in the Deschutesbasin. That is underway and a re-port for Tribal Council will be de-livered in 2016.

We continue to be optimistic thatthis business will survive if we man-age it prudently. Declaring dividendsfrom surplus revenue and not re-serves is something that the enter-prise is going back to, and will placea high level of importance on ex-tracting the most value out of this

Message to the membership from Power & Waterproject as possible.

Habitat restorationHydroelectric power will continue

to have a place in the Northwestenergy market. It has operatingcharacteristics that wind and ther-mal plants don’t.

The Pelton Project continues tofollow the resource managementrequirements as described in thefederal license we were issued.

There are many objectives de-scribed in the license that we mustfollow. We, along with our partnerPGE, have invested over $16 mil-lion in habitat restoration in the ba-sin. We also have improvementsthat need to be undertaken to keepthe powerhouses up-to-date and op-erating reliably. These two expensesare a necessity to insure we are be-ing prudent and responsible opera-tors on the river.

tially reduced to levelsnot typical from

April 15 caught 85 mill work-ers and their families by surprisewhen the mill went belly up. In thepast when workers were let go, themill paid them “severance pay”.But none of the mill workers weregiven severance pay at this time,nor were any given 60 days noticeof the mill operations closing.When the workers learned of it, itwas front page news in the localnewspaper, so people in Madrasknew of it the same day themillworkers were let go.

When the tribe asked VanPortto turn it over to them, things havebeen steadily going downhill at themill ever since. And now we learnthat whoever was in charge ofpaying for incoming logs, etc.,wasn’t doing so. Logs have been

sold outright to Japan and China by-passing the milling of the logs bytribal members. The question ineveryone’s mind is where did themoney go from the sale of thoselogs? Shouldn’t that money havebeen used to pay off the mill debts?Now the entire mill, we have learnedvia the grapevine, is going to be dis-mantled for good without any hopeof future work for mill workers. Itwill be interesting to “follow themoney” from the sale of the mill’smachines and heavy duty equip-ment. Too bad severance pay isn’tin the minds of those who are incharge, nor is retirement.

Whoever has been making deci-sions for the Tribe these days hasn’tkept tribal members in mind. Eventhough the tribe has won severalmillion dollars in lawsuits, the moneywasn’t shared with tribal members,who are still wondering where ex-

actly did every cent of those law-suits go?

Another contested lawsuit wonby Cobell for government misuseof funds was to be shared by in-jured tribes of Yakama and WarmSprings, resulting in $17,000awarded to each tribal member ofYakama. Yet not one tribal mem-ber of Warm Springs received apenny. It was allocated elsewhereunder authority of the Tribal Coun-cil without permission of individualtribal members who were supposedto receive those funds. No specificaccounting has been tallied. Now wesee the U.S. government is not theonly entity that has been misusingincoming funds. Warm Springs triballeaders have learned well from thewhite man!

People outside the Rez thoughtthat “Warm Springers” were gettingbeaucoup bucks from their casino,

but although other tribes share ca-sino income with their tribal mem-bers, Indian Head Casino has nevershared even a penny with any tribalmember… ever! So the question is:who really owns the Warm Springscasino.

Other outsiders have speculatedthat tribal members were each re-ceiving enormous “per capita”.Whereas in reality each member wasreceiving only $100 a month… that

it until this last when all per capitafor children under 18 was com-pletely cut off, and the $100 peradult was cut down to $25 a month,and seniors pension was cut. Try liv-ing on that when you don’t have ajob. Now poverty is rampant, andtribal leaders have turned to raisingmarijuana as a means of income.Now we know why it is called“dope”.

He would go 3-2, and al-most placed by one match,called the ‘blood round,’ thename referring to all-or-

nothing qualifying.The State Freestyle and

Greco tournament wasthe followed two weekslater in Corvallis, at Cres-cent Valley High School.

After a lot of prepara-tion, inspired by his per-formance at the Regionalsin the same style, Quentinfought back, winningmatches and placing sixth.He also drew enough at-tention from the TeamOregon Committee to beinvited on a petition basisto qualify for the secondstyle and secure his spoton the National Team.

Recurring problem by landfillThe Utilities Depart-

ment workers at the DryCreek Landfill and Trans-fer Station just spent manydays cleaning up an areathat is near the landfill-transfer station.

The area had been usedfor illegal dumping formany months.

The area, an old shoot-ing range, stayed clean fora short time, and thensomeone recently beganleaving garbage thereagain.

This is especially dis-couraging, as the landfill-transfer station is locatedabout a third of mile fur-ther down the road, saidTony Wergin, recycling

technician with the Utili-ties Department. Thetransfer station is open 24hours a day, seven days aweek; and the landfill isopen 8 to 5 p.m., Mon-day through Friday.

Uti l i t ies is askingmembers to use the fa-ci l i t ies , rather thanundesignated areaswhere dumping is pro-hibited. And if you seesomeone who is violat-ing the prohibit ion,please call the police.

The area is clearlymarked with ‘no dumping’signs. For information,you can reach the trans-fer station at 541-553-3163.

Oregon Gov. KateBrown signed aproclamation mak-ing the week of May14-21, American In-dian Week. Theproclamation readsin part:

Our state’s effortsto build a healthy en-vironment, strongeconomy and thriv-ing communities willbe strengthened byconsulting with antapping into the his-torical knowledgeand traditional ex-pertise of the FirstOregonians.

For the first time since theViolence Against Women Actbecame law in 2013, tribeswill be able to obtain federalfunds to help them exercisejurisdiction over non-Indians.

The landmark law recog-nizes the “inherent” author-ity of tribes to arrest, pros-ecute and sentence certainnon-Indian offenders forsome domestic violencecrimes. But Congress never

funded a program that wasdesigned to help tribesstrengthen their justice sys-tems.

That’s finally changing nowthat Congress included somemoney in a fiscal year 2016appropriations measure. TheDepartment of Justice is nowaccepting applications for thenew Grants to Tribal Govern-ments to Exercise SpecialDomestic Violence CriminalJurisdiction Program.

The lack of federal fund-ing hasn’t stopped tribes fromwriting new laws, improvingtheir courts and making otherchanges that enable them tocomply with Violence AgainstWomen Act.

The law requires tribes toprotect the constitutionalrights of all defendants ifthey choose to participate inthe special domestic violencecriminal jurisdiction program.
