Why women

IPS!
by Erin Sweeden
The battered woman stays because
she's learned from experience that
although everything looks black to
day, tomorrow will be better and
she'll be back in love again. It's only
a little bruise, and it hasn 't happened
in a long time. She doesn't want the
relationship to end; she just wants
the abuse to stop. They promised to
stay together "for better or worse
until death do us part," and she be
lieves it's the wife s responsibility to
keep the family together. Besides,
the children need their father. What
would people say if there's a di
vorce? She could even lose custody
of her children. The minister, police,
and parents keep urging them to try
to work it out. Next time, she won't
make the same mistake again and
she'll finally get it right. He prom
ised he'd go into treatment and it
would never happen again.
Lotus classes rescheduled
In the Fall Community Education schedule we had Introduction to
Lotus and Lotus 2.4 Version. We have canceled both of these classes
because of lack of enrollment. After canceling the Introduction class,
a number of calls came in so we will try again and offer the Introduc
tion to Lotus on November 7, 1994. The class will run from the 7th
through the 28th of November, starting at 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. The cost
is $32 and you need to bring a 3 12 inch disk to class. Mike Lofting
will be the instructor.
Please call immediately and get registered. If we do not have 10
people by October 24th, we will again cancel the class. REMEM
BER TO REGISTER EARLY.
Please call your Warm Springs COCC Center at 553-1428 with
questions and come by to register at the Center in the Education Building.
Listen for alarm
To the editor,
Each year, thousands of people
needlessly die or are injured in
home fires. Tragically, many of
them would be alive or unharmed
today had their home been
equipped with a working smoke
detector. t, . fvwf. .
A working smoke detector cuts
the risk of dying in a home fire by
nearly half by providing an early
warning and critical extra seconds
to escape. The problem is that, al
though 82 percent of American
homes have smoke detectors,

stay in abusive
If the woman did leave, where
would she go anyway. She let go of
supportive family and friends be
cause he didn't like them. Educa
tional and career goals were dis
couraged, so it's difficult to imagine
supporting the family alone. After
years of being called ugly, stupid
and worthless, she lacks the self
esteem to seek eitherajob or another
partner. She may even have lost all
sense of self and self-preservation.
Many women are terrified of being
alone. A miserable present can be
easier to cope with than an unknown
future. In some cases, men threaten
to kill their partners or harm their
families if they leave, and in fact, the
risk of severe violence does increase
after reporting or separation.
After a period of time, deeper
psychological changes take place
which make it even more difficult for
battered women to leave. They de
velop "learned helplessness." When
dogs are put in cages and given elec
tric shocks when they press the wrong
bar and then receive shocks no mat
ter what they do, they learn to lie
down and stay there even when the
cage doors are opened and they could
easily escape.
Another explanation is that trauma
bonds form between the victim and
the victimizer when violence is fol
lowed by a honeymoon when all is
forgiven. The romance of the honey
moon and the excitement of such an
intense relationship are rewards

message is simple and potentially
lifesaving: change the batteries in

To help you remember, at 6:00

relationships
which are not nurturing. The longer
the trauma continues and the greater
the increase in fear, the stronger the
trauma bond becomes. It is even
stronger if the trauma is similar to an
earlier victimization such as child
abuse or a previous violent relation
ship. Victims are often attracted to
the same traumatic situations again
and again in an effort to get it re
solved somehow, and this just leads
to more victimization.
Despite all the reasons for stay
ing, there are certain things which
tend to finally push women over the
edge into leaving. Some will tolerate
unspeakable abuse to themselves, but
when the abuse spreads to their chil
dren, they take them to safety. Some
go when their children get a little
older. Others leave when the violence
gets so bad and so often that home no
longer feels like a safe place and the
risk of staying seems greater than the
risk of leaving. The last straw for
some is when they get arrested for
defending themselves against their
abusers and court mandated into
counseling or anger management
training. All traces of love are usually
long gone by this time.
Support and encouragement from
outside the marriage can be helpful
at any point. However, all the help in
the world won't be enough until a
woman decides she's ready. If you
are ready to ask for support or look at
some options, please call Erin at 553-'
3205.
Insure family
During Fire Prevention Week,
Warm Springs Fire & Safety tar
geted a pressing, tragic problem
that affects at least one-third of the
homes in America, smoke detectors
that don't work due to old or miss
ing batteries.
There bas been countless cases
where people perish in fires in
homes that had smoke detectors,
but the smoke detectors didn't
work. It's unimaginable the pain a
family must feel when they had
simply replaced the battery in their
smoke detector?

No impact found in proposed BoulderShitike sale
The Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Warm Springs Agency, proposes a
timber harvest in the Shitike and Mill
Creek watersheds of the Warm
Springs Indian Reservation. The
primary objectives of this sale are to
produce income for the Confederated
Tribes of Warm Springs, to improve
forest health through various silvi
cultural treatments and to salvage
dead and dying timber from recent
insectdrought impacts. Approxi
mately six million board feet of timber
will be harvested from 646 acres; of
which 613 acres will be clearcuts
with seed trees left, 17 acres
shelterwood cuts, and 16 acres of
commercial thinning, there will also
be 346 acres of pre-commercial
thinning.
Based on the Project Assessment,
BoulderShitike Timber Sale and
public comments gathered during the
period of December 8,1 993 through
July 15, 1994, we have determined
that the proposed action does not

Hackle Hackers donate money for ninth year
An organisation called Hackle
Hackers donated money to the Warm
Springs tribe October 2 to be used for
youth activities in the community.
The Hackle Hackers have been
donating money to the tribes for the
past nine years totaling $6,000. They
also donate money to the city kids of

participants meet at Kah-Nee-Ta and
enjoy themselves playing both golf
and fly fishing.

safety: Check
many Americans have a false and
dangerous sense of security about
smoke detectors. While more than
85 percent of American homes have
at least one smoke detector in
stalled, as many as one-third of
them would not work in an emer
gency because of old or missing
batteries. Inoperable smoke detec
tors contribute to many of the 6,000
deaths and 230, 000 injuries that
occur each year in fires.
It has been found that one of the
most common reasons for residen
tial fire deaths is the failure to have
a working smoke detector. Warm
Springs Fire & Safety encourages
all residents to replace their smoke
detector batteries annually and to
check the operation of the detector ,
monthly.
To help fight the problem, Warm

To protect soil resources: Retain

used rather than "pile and burn"
methods. Where possible seed ex

high production sites deep ripping of

improve timber growth.
The water quality will be pro
tected by: Placing rocks and boulders
at stream crossings and watcrholcs;
removing a portion of the P-650 road
(from intersection of the P-651 road
to the intersection of the P-600 road);
stabilizing and repairing the P-630
road and redesigning the drainage

BIA proposes Mt. Wilson timber sale
On behalf of the Confederated
Tribes of Warm Springs, the Bureau
of Indian Affairs proposes a 1995
timber harvest in the Mt Wilson Sub
Forest Planning Unit The proposed
sale is located within the Beaver
Creek Watershed on the Warm
Springs Reservation. Approximately
1,200 acres are proposed for harvest
utilizing a variety of logging meth
ods. The sale would yield approxi
mately 39 million board feet of limber.
Bunny Mason is familiar with the
golf course because he was asked to
design the last nine holes by Vernon
Jackson in 1974. They enjoy coming
to Kah-Nee-Ta because it offers a
unique environment for both fly
fishing and golfing.
The check was presented to
Benson Heath at Kah-Nee-Ta Lodge
October 2. The Hackle Hackers are
grateful to Heath for all he has done
for them these past nine years. This
year the donated money is going to
be used for activities at the
Huckleberry Feast 1995.
Radio Help network
offers safe haven
Young people heading back to
school this fall and motorists along
the highways have a network of
i friends throughout the area-Pacific
Power employees who drive vehicles
displaying RADIO HELP and KID
KARE decals.
The programs offer a safe haven
for children who are frightened, or
bothered by strangers; and
communication for the public in
general, from the scene of an accident,
fire or other emergency or a less
critical need-stranded motorist or
person needing directions.
Pacific Power manager Bob
McConnell said KID KARE was
created by the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
and the Pacific Power, for use
throughout company service areas in
California, Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and Montana.
"The KID KARE decal on the
side of most Pacific Power vehicles
is a symbol to a child that the operator
is a friend and provides a safe place
to wait for help to arrive," McConnell
explained.
