Reception at
To the Editor,
I'd like to personally thank all
those involved with the Root Feast.
My wife and I, both new to the area,
walked slowly into the Longhouse,
not knowing where our place was. At
once people were open to our
participation and got us involved.
We watched as women carefully laid
out the mats, then dishes, cups and
saucers. Then, as people continued
to move in a circle, the salmon, the
venison, and the luksch was laid on
Happy Birthday Mom, May 1st. I

the end and May God always bless

the mats in front of us. Before long,
the mats were overflowing. A person
thoughtfully invited us to sit at the
mat and join in. The master of
ceremonies told us of the water, and
order of the foods before us, and we
tried each in its turn. Wonderful food.
Around us people encouraged us to
explore these native foods, and
explained their significance. After a
long meal, we followed the lead as

the Longhouse and, as the bell rang
out, I felt a part of it it all. Thank you.
Last issue I introduced the Robert
Wood Johnson "Healthy Nations"
Project and invited you to participate.
Since my invitation, many people
have offered commentary and their
views on alcohol and substance use
and abuse and how they relate to the
community. That is what it's all about.
You have been asked many times in
the past, I'm told, to give your input
on a planning phase of this or that
program. Some people have indicated
they felt their comments fell on deaf
ears. This is a grant project
independent of government. This is
your project. Some people already
have ideas on new local programs.
Others have proposed this project
working in concert with existing
community services. Over the next
year, we'll be discussing ways the
community can help itself,
developing community-based,
staffed and run programs, on which
the community has expressed
agreement.
I appreciate your comments and
involvement in this planning process.
Your sense of involvement matters.
As I stood before the Longhouse wall
and the men around me say out, I felt
a part of the ceremony. It felt good to
be included. It is my hope in the
upcoming months, as this community
developmentprocess grows, you will
feel a part of this process.

Planning ahead will ease stress of shopping with kids
Plan Ahead
Check attitudes. Is your child too
tired or hungry to shop? Are you? If
yes postpone your trip or find a baby
sitter. Agree on Rules. Before entering
the store say, "Stay close to me."
"Use your quiet voice."
Agree on rewards. For good
behavior, give a choice of one snack,
food or a stop at the park. Promise to
read a book or play a game at home.
Keep it simple and be sure to follow
up.
At the Mall
Make a game of it. "Who can see
the shoe store first?" "Who is wearing

Volunteers
needed
American Red Cross seeks
volunteers. The Jefferson County
Chapter of the American Red Cross
is looking for persons interested in
becoming ARC volunteers. Mr. Bill
Apgar, Chapter President, would like
to make available some training to
new volunteers. He is especially
interested in the development of an
ARC sheltermass care plan for the
Warm Springs area. This is something
that would be needed in the event an
evacuation took place. Since we are
somewhat removed from the
Chapter's main area, it is more
practical to have people trained and
shelters already identified in our own
community.
If you are interested or want more
information, please contact Sharon

T?"
Choices. When possible, allow
your child to make a choice or
decision, "Blue or red socks?"
Play, "I see something." Ask the
child to guess what it is.
Praise your child. "You are so
helpful!" "You are making good
choices today!"
If all else fails
Remember kids will be kids. They
are not perfect!
Ignore inappropriate behavior
unless it becomes dangerous,

Remove a child who is out of
control. Take him to the restroom or
out of the store. Tell quietly, eyeball
to eyeball that his behavior is totally
unacceptable.
Wait for the child to calm down.
Say nothing else. Then ask if she is
ready to try again.
Go home if she cannot calm down.
Find a sitter and return alone.
What you can do when parents
mistreat their children in public
1. Sympathize with the parent.
Say something like, "She sure is a
bundle of energy," or "My child use
to get upset like that,"
2. Divert the angry attention away
from the child. Open up a
conversation with the adult. Ask a
question or directions, anything to
provide a distraction and some time
for the parent's anger to subside.
3. Compliment or praise the parent
or child. Say something positive.
"What a big, strong boy you have!
How old is he?" or "It's hard to shop
with a toddler. You have my
admiration for managing it!"
4. Offer sympathy and help.
News
Fifth's Disease
Warm Springs Elementary, like
other schools throughout Central
Oregon, is seeing students come down
with the symptoms of Fifth's Disease.
The symptoms of Fifth's Disease are
bright red cheeks, blotchy-like rash on
arms and legs which fades and recurs,
runny nose, loss of appetite, sore throat,
gastrointestinal complaints, low grade
temperature, and a headache. Fifth's
Disease is transmitted through the air.
Good preventative techniques are to
cover your mouth when coughing and
thorough, frequent handwashing.
Students who exhibit the symptoms
are not mandatorily being excluded by
the school, but don't be surprised if
your student asks to go home because
some of the symptoms may be more
severe. Warning. . . if you are exposed
to Fifth's Disease and are pregnant,
S lease contact your doctor.

Sometimes a parent's anger is fueled
by embarrassmentat the fuss the child
is making. "Children sure can wear
I
ou out! Is there anything I can do to
elp?" 'Taking kids out to eat is
hard! I'm sure everyone here is
remembering that and giving you
credit for your patience.
5. Alert the store manager if you
are concerned about the child's safety.
Ask someone with authority over the
parent to communicate that, "This is
a safe place for children. You may
not spank here."
6. Quietly stand guard if the child
is being neglected and is in jeopardy.
For example, keep an eye on a child
left unattended in a grocery cart or a
toddler at a street or parking lot
curbside.
DO NOT give dirty looks or make
snide remarks. Disapproval or anger
will only increase the parent's anger
and make matters worse. If someone
else in a store or restaurant is clearly
disapproving, step in and be an
obvious ally to the parent by offering
a kind remark or help.
