When vou find your mood changes, when you suddenly discover that you are angry or anxious, do an instant replay. What was going tnrougn your mind, what were you saying to yourself that could have caused the change in mood? Watch out for these common distortions which may be reigning over your feelings.

Chapter I, a fed erally funded supplementary educational program, offered a four week reading program for first, second and third grade stu dents. Classes were held in the mornings so the kids could enjoy summer afternoons but the morn ings were filled with hard work for the students. Teacher Carol Bailey helped students develop their reading and retention skills through exercises. Throughout the month long ses sion, young students read stories, wrote stories and listened to sto ries. They also learned to read instructions necessary for making snacks during the day. According to Bailey attendance has been "great," more than she had expected. And the students showed many successes in increas ing their reading skills.

The earth then radiates infrared energy, but trace gases and water vapor absorb part of the infrared radiation. The gases then emit some of the radiation back to earth, further warming the surface. This warming of the surface air is known as the greenhouse effect. Scientists project that increased emissions of greenhouse gases will warm the earth rapidly. Climate change in 50 to 100 years could be as great as the change over the last 10,000 years. Climate models esti mate the world risks a 3 F to 8 F warming. Such a rapid increase in temperature would disrupt natural and social systems. However, there is uncertainty regarding how much and how quickly the climate will warm. We do not have scientific predictions of change for the re gion or the state. The gases that are ol most con cern are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and chlorofluoro- carbons (CFCs). Carbon dioxide contributes 70 to 80 percent of the potential warming. Americans con tribute about five times as much carbon as the world average per capita. Oregon's Contribution Oregon adds most to global warming by burning fossil fuels, which creates carbon dioxide. Ore gon generates about 40 million tons a year of carbon dioxide from all sources. Transportation contri butes the largest share of carbon dioxide, about 53 percent. Oregon has no CFC manufacturers. Ap portioning U.S. use on a per capita basis, Oregon accounts for about 9 million pounds of CFCs. The largest amount of methane for Oregon from human activity comes from the cattle and other rumi nants we raise. Natural gas use and landfills are also important. Hu man activity generates more than 200,000 tons of methane a year in Oregon. POTENTIAL IMPACTS Water Changes in climate will change the amount and distribution of water in the state. Such changes would affect municipalities, for ests, agriculture, fish and wildlife, recreation, and the state economy. Changes in precipitation, cloud cover, wind, temperature, and ocean currents could fundamental ly alter historic storm patterns in the Northwest. There could be higher rates of evaporation from soil, lakes, and streams. If Ore gon's climate becomes warmer with less snow pack and drier summers, the water levels and flows in streams, lakes, and aqui fers could decline. Warmer water could also harm salmon and trout and cause water quality problems. Competition for Oregon's water supplies is increasing regardless of climate change. Climate change could further reduce water sup plies. A water shortage would limit the state's economic and popula tion growth and impact irrigated agriculture, fisheries, and water based recreation. tional academic and remedial help evenings and weekends. According to Gray, the school is noted for and emphasizes alcohol and drug edu cationtreatment, counseling and guidance, nutritional food service, modern dormitories with an en hanced home living environment, varied cultural and Native Ameri can activities, diverse athletic pro grams, and a broad range of inter esting recreational opportunities. On September I, 1990, Chem awa School's Drug and Alcohol Program was identified and selec ted as one ot twelve ( 1 2) outstand ing programs in the Bureau of Indian Affairs school system. The program was determined to have made a positive difference in the academic, cultural, social and per sonal lives of the American Indian students attending Chemawa. As a Bureau of Indian Affair's Sharing Excellence Network school, Che mawa was featured in the Bureau's Annual "Showcase of Excellence." Many students have been helped to overcome their chemical depend ency and abuse problems through Chemawa's Drug and Alcohol Program according to Gray. A new instructional education television news network program (Channel One) will be available for the students this school year. A computerized instructional pro gram, Writer's Workbench, will also be available for the students. Two fully equipped computer laboratories were built and estab lished for students use beginning on September I, 1991. Recreational and leisure activi ties include skiing, river rafting, swimming, mountain hiking, camp ing, attendance at NBA and many college basketball games, excur sions to the Pacific coast, and par ticipation in many clubs, social events, student banquets, school barbecues and picnics.
