As spring has sprung, up pop the

greens. Like Ihc formers used to say
in the olden days, "It's Green-Up
time." Well so comes the ."Looksh,
and other roots.
The ladies of the Tribes go out
and after certain sacraments of
blessing of the fields they dig the
roots, peel them and prepare the meal.
All these traditions must be observed
prior to anyone going out into the
fields. As trie longhouse is buzzing
with all the commotion stirred up,
t conic going back and forth in the
itcnen, the beat of the drums can be
heard as the men chant the Seven
Drum religion songs in the longhouse.
All these rituals followed step by
step as they were handed down from
generation to generation.
This observance is the thanks
given to the Great Creator for the
bountiful supply of roots and other
loous l ic has provided. It is customary
that all these riturals be observed
before anyone can gather these foods
for their own use. All these same
procedures are followed in all the
longhouscs of the River Tribes.
At me same time this year in
Cclilo, Oregon, the same procedures
were being performed, the chanting
and drumming in the longhouse as
me women folks were busy prepar
ing the Salmon for the feast. The
Salmon feast, the coming of the first
aaimon ot the new year. All these
events have the same meaning and
arc carried on throughout the year for
otner delicacies of the Proud Indian
People.

Child care to be discussed
An opportunity for a better job, or
for the education and training to get
a bctlcrjob is meaningless for a parent

nity action Agency Network
(COCAAN), in partnership with the
Oregon State Employment Division,
is sponsoring a spring conference on

egon employers.

their employees, and representatives
from the State Office of Child Care

and child care supply and demand.

Warm Springs Community Center
None for the Road
With winter finally behind us, the
'None-for-the-Road committee has
finally got a firm date set for the first
Victims Impact panel here in the
Warm Springs area.
As mentioned in previous articles,
the Victims Impact Panel consist of a
panel of individuals who come to

drinking & driving incidents have
changed their lives.
Successful in other areas, the panel
is looked at as another tool used as an
alternative to incarceration.

p.m. at the Community Center social
hall.
In other related incidents, the first
sobriety check point for 1993 got
underway this past weekend as three
drivers were arrested for being in
toxicated. Testing the new road on
East Tenino, officers set up on the
top flat portion of the roadway where
the check point was conducted. It
was also noted that three drivers had
conducted an illegal U-turn prior to
entering the check point. On stop
ping of the suspect vehicles, it was
. noted on two occasions that the
drivers stated that they fled the area
because they did not possess a valid
license. Two drivers found sober,
were explained to that we were not
checking for licenses but for drunk
drivers. It should also be mentioned
that if all occupants on the vehicle
are found intoxicated and the driver
gets arrested, the rest of the occupants
might be taken intocustody for detox
without a sober driver. Please re
member that if you must drink, have
a designated driver.

Fish & Game
In most recent events, the weather
has been hard this past winter for all
Correctional Facility news
Well after three months into the
new year of 1993, and the several
changes taking place in the Corrections
Division, we are releasing news on
what has been taking place in this di
vision of the Public Safety Branch:
Concerns of Inmates:
Inmates stating food that was being
served were those foods from the pre
vious meals. Be assured that all food
served in the Corrections Facility are
fresh, not left over from the previous
day.
A daily account on all meals served
are checked either by myself or the
Corrections staff. I've met with the
inmates in the Corrections Facility to
assure that they're welfare and health
needs are being met
On January 17, 1993, Head Cook
Shirley Smith, Assistant Cook Donna
Wainanwit and several of the inmate
workers in the kitchen had been given
a class of how to prepare, handle and
serve food to the inmates of the Cor
rections Facility to assure that no one
gels UL
Exercise:
Several of the inmates have talked
with me on the types of exercise that
they wish they could have.
I have allowed inmates to bring a
riding exercise bicycle in the facility as
well as hand weights, they play bas
ketball 2 to 3 times a day when weather
allows.
Other news:
With the growing number of persons
being sent by the Tribal Court to spend
time in the Corrections Facility, the
Corrections Division is having quite a
time housing the inmates. The over all
capacity of the Corrections Division
housing is only 48 inmates in the facil
ity. The inmate housing consist of:
Rooming for 24 adult males; 12
adult females; 6 juvenile females; 6
juvenile males.
The average of adult males spend
ing time in the Corrections Facility
have been approximately 26 over the
last 3 months, which has made the
Corrections Officer needing to utilize
the Juvenile section of the facility to
house inmates when there are no ju
veniles in custody of the Corrections
Facility.
This information is being given to
the people of the community to let
them know that the need for a larger
capacity facility should be considered
in order to assure that all persons being
sent to the corrections facility by the
Tribal Courts are to spend the sentenced
time instead of being furloughcd.
The total custody offemale juveniles
in the Corrections Facility over the last
three months are 29 and 52 juvenile
males. This should be of great concern
for the community members, some of
these juveniles could be your children.
The majority of the juveniles brought
into the Corrections Facility were ei
ther for Juvenile In Need of Supervi
sion or Juvenile In Possession By Con
sumption. Remember one of these children
could have been yours. Let's all work
together for the better of the Commu
nity and watch our children for their
futures.
Visit's are as follows
Wednesday through Saturday, 3-5
p.m. and 7-9 p.m.
The Corrections division is trying to
accommodate the needs of the inmates
to spend time with their families, we
have made a new time schedule to
allow the inmates to visit with family
members in the dining area of the Cor
rections Facility.
Please keep in mind that during the
visit's, bookings still occur please be
patient when Corrections Officers are
attending to their duties.
The Corrections Division of the
Public Safety Branch has given the
Community the activities at the Tribal
Facility, if there arc any questions of
concern please contact me SgL RJ
Whittenburge with your concerns or
questions at 553-3309.
We at the Public Safety Branch
always have the concerns and welfare
of the community at hand, all input is
looked at in a serious way. Please if
there are any concerns or ideas please
let me know of them.
Thank you for the opportunity in
looking out for the welfare and safety
of the Warm Springs Community.
Sincerely.
Sgt. RJ Whittenburge
of us and hopefully we have seen the
last of the snow fall locally. Problems
have been noticed especially for the
woodcutter's. We do understand how
hard it is to get around out there in the
woods. Current road conditions are
not very good right now due to the
warming trend and melting snow.
Some roads are muddy in some
places, heavy snow pack on others,
and somewhat dry in others. With the
melt, continued rain is not helping
out the conditions.
Fish and Game has had it's own
problems with not being able to get
out into many areas that are in need
of being checked. With this in mind,
an issue that has come up lately is in
regards to stuck vehicles. Fish and
game does have winches on their
vehicles however the use is not in
tended to be used to pull out other
vehicles out of the mud or snow.
According to the vehicle pool, the
winches are intended to pull ourselves
out in the event we get stuck and that
we should not be considered tow
irucks with the amount of power it
takes to pull another vehicle out that
is more than the fish & game vehicle
can handle.
The reason we cannot pull out
vehicles is due to the fact that it takes
a lot of money to repair the damage
of the fish & game vehicles after
pulling someone out. The other fact
is that we can not afford to be held
liable for the damage to the stuck
vehicle while pulling it out, in this
event, it would again cost the de
partment unwanted dollars that can
be well spent in other areas.
If for some reason you get stuck
out in the woods, we can only come
out and get you. If you want your
vehicle pulled out, it will have to be
done by a private party or a tow
truck. ThanksSgt. Tias.

Grandmother's gift of fire
Legend tells of a generous old woman who agreed to share fire
with two warring Northwest Tribes, She was given a young and
beautiful appearance, and was placed on the stone bridge over the
river dividing their lands. After a time, both chiefs wanted to marry
the young maiden and a quarrel ensured. Fed up with their petty
bickering, the Creator changed them into what are now called Mt.
Adams and Mt. Hood. Even as mountains, the Chiefs continued to
fight, tossing stones and flames at each other into the narrow spot
we call The Dalles. The woman was heartbroken at the trouble
beauty had caused. She could find no happiness as a human, so the
Creator once again placed her between the chiefs to maintain peace.
Today we know her as one of the most beautiful of mountains, Mt.
St. Helens. (Grandmother's Gift of Fire)
