Victim's Assistance program
explained by coordinator
To the Editor,
The last week of April and first
partof May was Victims Crime Week
and we were so busy in the Victim
Assistance Program Office we were
unable to submit an article to the
Spilyay Tymoo. I just want to update
the people of Warm Springs what the
Victims Assistance Program has been
doing for the reservation.
First, the Victim's Assistance
Program is here for the victims of
crime, such as domestic violence,
sexual assaultrape, child abusene
glect, assault and battery and elder
abuse, on the reservation. We do
crisis intervention, such as talking
with a victim to make sure they are
safe and that o other harm comes to
them. We let the victim know what
options are available and they decide,
on their own, what they want to do.
The Victim's Assistance Program
does not force anyone to d something
they do not want. We do not break up
families, the individual abuser does
that on his or her own when they
abuse their spouse andor children.
Sometimes, we help the victims of
crime with other things, such as
transporting and sheltering the victim
and their family; assisting the victims
get restraining orders, helping and or
teaching the victims about court ad
vocacy, etc. All of these services are
made possible for Warm Springs
victims of crime through a grant from
the Native American Victims of
Crime Act Program (NAVCAP)
Eligibility for this program is that
you are a victim of a crime such a
domestic violence, sexual assault
rape, child abuseneglect, elder abuse
andor assault and battery.
We also work with outside agen
cies for such things as sheltering,
transporting and emergency needs,
but those are limited resources. We
needs volunteers
to share with Kah-Nee-Ta guests
tribal history and culture. Panic ipanu
are asked to provide their own horses,
if at all possible. If at all interested,
call Luanda Green at Kah-Nee-Ta at
553 1112, ext. 474.
Additionally, craft people are
needed to set up booths at the Village
on Sunday, May 30. Those setting up
must be demonstrating the craft they
are selling and all crafts must be from
local people. Call Green for infor
mation. record is a requirement for Head Start
registration. However, going through
the physical and immunization pro
cess docs not guarantee that your
child will be enrolled. If you have a
four or five year old who missed the
pre-kindergarten day in April and
you would like to bring them on May
20, please let HIS know you will be
coming so they can bring your child's
chart.
people if there might have been
bullets. My apologies to you as my'
people for the conditions I brought
upon you.

The Warm Springs Victim's as
sistance program staff consists of
Ramona Greene-Baez, program co
ordinator; Patty Tulee, secretary
through the JTPA program; and
Saraphina Morningowl, adult advo
cate. We do not have money for a
children's advocate, but all the staff
tries to work together to make each
victim feel safe and comfortable.
The program coordinator's posi
tion is the only position that is funded
by the Tribe. The other positions are
funded through grants, which will
eventually run out.
The Victim's Assistance Program
would not be as effective as it is
without its volunteer workers. Cur
rently, there are about 15 to 18 vol
unteers in the Victim's Assistance
Program who will volunteer for either
a day or a weekend at a time on an on
call basis. The volunteer is called by
the police dispatcher if there is a
crime of violence where the victims
can use a volunteer's assistance or
help. The volunteer will contact the
victim, sometimes at the victim's
home, the police department or a
hospital, in order to be with the vic
tim and provide them with the as
sistance described in the first part of
this letter. Volunteers receive pre
paratory and on-going training to help
them work with the victims of crime.
The Victim's Assistance Program
can always use more volunteers,
"lease contact me at the Victim's
Assistance office, in the tribal
courthouse or call 553-3357 if you
are interested in becoming a volun
teer with the program.
Sincerely yours,
Ramona Greene-Baez
Kah-Nee-Ta Lodge addition
I he addition to the north side of
Kah-Ncc-Ta Lodge "puts us back in
the game," says resort food and bev
cragcassistant manager Steve
Whitakcr. Instead of turning con
ventions away, the expansion can
accommodate larger groups or sev
eral small groups with meeting rooms
and banquet facilities.
Much of the cost of adding a new
section includes furnishings and car
peting. Old conference rooms also
received a share of the funds, getting
new carpets and remodeling to
complement the new conference
rooms.
An addition has been discussed
for years, says Whitakcr, but it never
came about. A grant of $200,000
from the Oregon Lottery Regional
Strategy Funds with matching tribal
funds allowed resort managers to
begin construction. The remainder
of the S900,(XX) total cost is being
paid from the operating profit. "It
takes cash out of the operation," says
Whitakcr, "but it's worth it. We feel
it will open a lot of doors to us."
Whitakcr plans to sec a greater share
of the convention market at Kah-Ncc-Ta
because of the additional
space.

Good behavior in school begins at home
Warm Springs Elementary School
staff members wish to offer a few
words of advice to parents, con
cerning behavior, to ensure a
student s success in school.
If students have good behavior,
they do well in school. Good behavior
requires thinking things through and
making good choices. At Warm
Springs Elementary School, the en
tire staff is working hard to teach
students both of these skills.
School expectations are taught on
the first day of school, and rules are
reviewed throughout the year. Most
students require nothing more than
this. They take pride in doing the
right thing. Teachers provide posiuve
encouragement for following school
rules.
There are some students who con
tinue to break the rules, however.

When rules are broken, they are
handled by the classroom teacher
privately and on an individual basis.
The exception to this is when a child
continues a pattern of misbehavior
by repeatedly disobeying the rules
and making bad choices, or if achild's
behavior is: 1) illegal, 2) dangerous
to themselves or others, or 3) delib
erately disobedient.
We feel that each of these is serious
enough to make a referral to Dawn
Smith, the vice principal, or Nan
Willis, the principal. If this happens,
then one of the following things takes
place:
1. Loss of lunch recess.
2. Loss of all recesses.
3. Time out in the office during
class time.
4. In-school suspension all day.
5. Out-of-school suspension.
