Hunters find
A Eugene carpenter and his son;
bowhunting in the Central Oregon
Cascade mountains, discovered an
old dugout canoe nestled among a
patch of lilies.
Jim Long recognized the canoe as
the type used by early Klamath In
dians to harvest "wocas", or lilies,
that were once a staple of the tribal
diet. Long said tribal members used
the canoes to float out into the lilly
patches to harvest them like rice. The

Roberts speaks
By Governor Barbara Roberts
The demands on state government
have been growing dramatically,
outpacing our efforts to solve the
basic problems underlying so many
of the demands.
How can wc ever cut our welfare
rolls if our teens are pregnant and our
schools leave many graduates unpre
pared for work? How can our rural
communities prosper if we don't
concentrate our investment in diver-
sifying our statewide economy? How
can we quit recycling inmates through
our prisons if we don't offer drug
treatment and job skills programs on
the inside?
We spend too much money strug
gling with today's crisis instead of
preventing the problems of tomor
row. We must have the courage to
abandon old ways of thinking and
pursue a new government that looks
ahead to fight for the future, not the
past.
I would have been making some
difficult budget decisions even
without the increased demands
caused by Measure 5. But as the
property tax limitation phases in, state
government m ust pay for more of the
costs of local schools. The demands
are increasing, and the budget deci
sions are just that much more diffi
cult. We simply won't have enough
money to do what's right forOregon.
On December 1, 1 will present a
budget to the Legislature, as every
Governor before me has. But unlike
that includes more than a $1 bil
lion cut in services. Usually, the
budget submitted by the Governor is
called the Governor's Recommended
Budget. But not this year. I do not
recommend to anyone that we pursue
the budget cuts that I, by law, must
propose.
Measure 5 has placed state gov-
coordinator's office will be offered
in both morning and afternoon ses
sions. Lunch, sponsored by the Vic
tim Assistance Program, will be
provided for participants at noon. At
2:15 to 3:30 elder abuse and leader
ship will be discussed. From 3:45 to
5 p.m. spirituality will be discussed
as well. All workshops will be con
ducted by tribal members. The ban
quet and honor dinner is open to
interested community members.

Victims support
group offered
A support group for women who
are victims of domestic or sexual
violence is being offered by COBRA
(Central Oregon Battering & Rape
Alliance). This group offers support
for the healing process of changing
from victim to survivor and provides
an opportunity to learn more about
yourself, share experiences, examine
emotions, explore options and make
choices.
All women are welcome and
childcare will be provided. The
groups are led by a trained facilitator,
and all sessions are strictly confi
dential. We offer the group weekly
and you may come as often or as little '
as you like. The groups arc free and
you can call 1-800-356-2369 for the
time and location.
on budget, taxes
emmcnt in a cramped box, one that
limits our vision and restricts our
jlA-i
options. I will make the best choices
I can within that box. I will defend
the choices I make to put that budget
together, but I will never - never -defend
that budget as one that's right
for Oregon.
And I will not be boxed in. I do not
intend to give up my hopes, or
Oregon's future.
So this year, I will present two
Governor's budgets. The first is the
Mandated Budget, including Mea
sure 5 service cuts. But the second
budget will be one that I can and will
recommended for Oregon's future.
I will use my Governor's Recom
mended Budget to demonstrate that
Oregon needs to restructure much of
its state government, and that we can
and must do better, work smarter and
operate more efficiently. But I will
also use this budget to argue that we
must not cut the heart out of state
government services, that Oregonians
cannot afford to sacrifice their future
on the altar of short-term and short
sighted budget cuts.
In my Recommended Budget, I
will recommend restoring some
critical services that fell outside the
cramped Measure 5 box. And I will
support programs that anticipate our
future rather than try to patch the
past.
State government must have a
long-term strategy for Oregon. We
have made some beginnings, but little
more. For example, the Head Start
program is a program for our future.
By investing attention and money to
prepare "at risk" preschoolers, the
payoff is children better able to suc
ceed in school and in society.
Oregon's JOBS program is another
investment in the future, one that
works. It gives parents on welfare
the skills and support to become self
sufficient permanently. But when
welfare caseloads rise, the JOBS
program is usually the first to be cut
back, as immediate demands take
precedence over long-term benefits.
S uch programs deserve more support
not less. A long-term philosophy
must pervade our budgets and our
government
My Recommended Budget will
include measures to streamline gov
ernment and cut costs, and to prepare
Oregon for the future. It will not
protect old spending levels or old
ways of doing government
