SpilyayTymoo Warm Springs, Oregon April 16, 1993 PAGE 3 "-4 v; Rootfeast, a special event As spring has sprung, up pop the !F - , . - ... 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. Geneva Charley, left, andludnda Green serve traduionalfoods during annual Root Feast celebration.

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.

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.
