Foster homes needed
CPS is recruiting for foster
homes for adolescent children who
have been victims of abuse and or
neglect and have been removed by
Tribal Court. To qualify to be
licensed as a CPS foster home, the
applicant must complete a home
evaluation by a CPS employee and
meet the requirements as set by
policy. A copy of these policies will
be provided upon request. In addi
tion the applicant must be free
from the usVof illegal drugs or the
dysfunctional use of alcohol.
There is a great need for caring
water bill
If the bill fails in the senate, then
the agreement would be invalid
and the tribal membership will not
have an opportunity to vote on it.
The Shoshone-Bannock tribes
would then have to determine their
water rights in state court.
According to the Sho-Ban News,
the majority of non-Indian ir
rigators and state officials support
the water agreement for three
reasons: First, a negotiation would
save millions of dollars and years
of litigation and would prevent
increased discord between the tribes
and the state.
Second, a water fight could create
an inter-state conflict. Downstream
water users including Oregon and
Washington, the lower-Columbia
River tribes and other federal
interests may decide to fight, seeking
all unallocated water in the upper
Snake River Basin which could be
detrimental to the State of Idaho.
Finally, the negotiation agree
ment gives non-Indians replacement
water that would not be available
in a court settlement.

MARCH 22, 1991
Drug-free
alliance begins
The Alliance for a Drug Free
Central Oregon is starting to im
plement its grassroots action plan
to prevent drug and alcohol abuse
in the tri-county and Warm Springs
regions. The Alliance, a 100 fed
erally funded grant program, has
defined three very specific goals
and objectives for its program: 1)
promote grassroots action to pre
vent alcohol and drug abuse, 2)
foster intolerance to and absti
nence from the use of illegal drugs,
and 3) develop a regional ethic
which supports the justice system
and is against the abuse of alcohol
and drugs. To meet these goals, the
Alliance is advocating for a conti
nuum approach to the drug and
alcohol abuse problems of the re
gion. The Alliance's premise is that
unless programs and services which
address prevention, intervention,
treatment and corrections are avail
able and utilized in the entire tri
county and Warm Springs areas,
the war against drug and alcohol
abuse will fail.
The Alliance has recruited a
Steering Committee made op of
members of all communities in the
tri-county and Warm Springs are
as. Steering Committee members
will meet to "kick off" the Alliance
project on Thursday, March 14
from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at Mrs. Beas
leys restaurant in Redmond. At
that time, the Steering Committee
will receive their challenge to iden
tify and recruit Alliance volunteers
in each community to implement
and promote identified local pro
grams in each community which
fulfill the Alliance's continuum
approach to drug and alcohol
abuse problems.
The Alliance program is a grass
roots effort based on the idea that
local community members know
best what kinds of programs and
services should be implemented or
supported in their communities.
Alliance volunteers will choose
very specific and defined programs
which are meaningful to their per
sonal area of interest. By closely
identifying individual Alliance
programs with local volunteers
operating within the sphere of their
own communities, the Alliance pro
gram will be successful as a whole.
Anyone interested in learning
more about the Alliance project or
in participating in some aspect of
the project should contact the
Alliance staff in Bend at 383-3058.
be thrown out. Aspirin gets a
vinegar smell when it breaks
down.
(B) Capsules: Get rid of any
sticky, moist or soft capsules.
(C) Liquids: Separated liquids
should be thrown out. Drugs
that need shaking but remain
separated after agitation should
also be discarded.
(D) Eye Products: To be safe for
use, eye products must be fresh
and sterile. Even if the expira
tion date is still good, throw out
opened containers of eye drops
and ointments when they are no
longer needed. As a rule of
thumb, dont keep opened con
tainers around for more than a
month.
Additionally, pharmacists recom
mend that a one ounce bottle of
Syrup of Ipecac be kept in the
medicine chest for each child in the
household.
