FROM THE AIR PROGRAM

Atmospheric River Activity

What are “...the biggest fresh water rivers on Earth”? According to the Martin Ralph, the Director of the Scripps Institute Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes, atmospheric rivers of condensed water are. In February 2019, Scripps/CW3E developed a 1-5 rating scale (pictured below) for atmospheric rivers based on water vapor content and duration, which you may see in use now. The system that pushed through the Owens Valley/Payahuunadü over Valentine’s Day 2019 was a category 3.

Manahuu! My name is Tisha McKellips, I was born and raised in Bishop CA, a member of the Bishop Paiute Tribe and the new Victim Advo- cate with the Bishop Paiute Tribe’s R.A.V.E program. I come to you with 7 years’ experience in survivor services and grant management. I have experience working with men, women and children in areas of domestic violence, sexual as- sault, stalking and child abuse. It’s a pleasure to be here, working in the Social Service Depart- ment with such a great team. I look forward to working with the tribal community and collabo- rating with other agencies to provide the best service possible to all affected by abuse. Manahuu! My name is Sydney Ariaz. I was born and raised in Bish- Tisha McKellips op, California my Mother is Maria Ariaz, my Grandmother Debra Bishop Paiute Tribe - RAVE Victim Advocate Fimbres, and Great Grandmother Rosalie Dondero. I am a Bishop 50 Tu Su Lane Paiute Tribal Member and a proud mother of a 7-month-old baby Bishop, CA 93514 girl, Kaicee. As of January 22, 2019, I have been working as the Ad- 760-873-9018 ph. ministrative Receptionist for the Bishop Paiute Tribe. Over the past 6 760-920-2151 cell years I have enjoy working with our community within the Bishop Paiute Tribe Public Works Department as well as at Toiyabe Indian Health Project in the Medical Department. I look forward to working with the community and helping Tribal members as much as I can. FROM THE BISHOP PAIUTE TRIBAL COURT COURT OFFICE CLOSURE: Per Bishop Paiute Tribal Court Administrative Order BPTC-AO-2018-0003 “Court Office Closure”, the Tribal Court Office will be closed 8:00am to 12:00n on court days (third Tuesday of every month) due to Court Advisory Committee meeting and preparing for court. If you have any questions, please call the Court Administrator at 760-873-3584.

Continue from front page The Tribal Council recently approved the Hotel portion of the project after reviewing the feasibility study and the abil- ity to service a loan on a Hotel Project. Now FSA and The Tribal Council/BPDC team will issue a interest package for lending agencies to review and submit their letters of interest on financing this portion of the project. FSA has already had plenty of interest on the hotel project, including the current Lender (CrossFirst Bank) for the expansion project. It is important to keep a separate loan for the expansion and the hotel projects as non-gaming projects offer better interest rates and terms, as well as open the door to non-gaming lending sources not offered for an expansion project. Legal Council Alliyson Saunders will be working on closing both the Casino Expansion and the Hotel Loans. Gas Station Update- Architects Womer and Associates began the design and development phase, however there were delays due to EDA’s process of approving the contract with Womer and Associates. It is important to the Tribal Council that we comply with the EDA grant terms correctly to receive the $2.3 million in infrastructure costs. This grant is money the tribe will not have to pay back and will allow the Tribe to construct a C-store that will benefit the tribal community and provide more abundant services and amenities. The BPTC has taken the position that the gas station project will be worked out naturally as there is no rush like there is on the expansion and hotel projects.
