Power was restored before 9:30am by Pacific, Power and Light following an outage caused by a tree alling on a power line just before 5:45am.

Because of the power outage and since the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and BIA offices were scheduled for an early release at noon for the Christmas Holiday – work is cancelled today.

The Indian Health Services Clinic is open today 9:30am – 12pm.  Anyone with medication refills should pick them up by 11 this morning, so you have your meds for the long holiday weekend.
