You never knew what to expect because your parent was five different people depending on the point in the alcohol curve irri table hangover, normalization, the high when everything was wonder ful, angry drunkenness, or passed out. Until you got old enough to understand that the changes were caused by alcohol, you may have taken responsibility and thought there was something wrong with you or what you did or said. In order to survive, you learned to always be on guard for subtle clues of what was coming, and you set your own feel ings and needs aside. Perhaps you tried harder and harder to be perfect and to do more to please your parent, but it was never enough. You may have spent your childhood taking Free workshops offered Pacific Power and the Oregon Department of Forestry are sponsoring free community forestry workshops in nine cities throughout Oregon this fall.

"Recently, along with the Oregon Department of Forestry, Pacific Power has taken a wider view of trees, using pruning techniques that protect a trees' health and advocating the planting of only tow-growing trees near power lines." He added that the workshop will help officials and planners, as well as tree professionals, look at urban trees as a valuable natural resource.

Fundraising Activities Have your kids come home asking for $ 1 .00 for pepperoni or beef jerky and you didn t know what they were talking about? WSE will be having several fund raising activities this year with proceeds going to care of, cleaning up after and parenting your parent instead of be ing a playful, carefree child. Now, as an adult, you may And lots of other people who need you to take of them because you 're so good at it However, there's always one sad, abandoned, little child off to the side who even you never And lime to care for. This is your own innerchild. Because at the age of five you were so busy being thirty-five, now that you're thirty-five, there's a part of you which is still five because it never got to grow up in the normal way. This child doesn't feel worthy of any love. This child doesn't know how to ask for help. This child doesn't even know how to feel because it was never safe to feel at home, there was no one to provide support and expression of feelings wasn't toler ated. This child never learned how to trust. Many adult children of alcoholics become very successful people who earn the respect and applause of oth ers. They work around the clock to meet an endless chain of deadlines and goals. However, they have diffi culty ever feeling satisfied with their own accomplishments because they don't acknowledge themselves. Some become very pcrfcctionistic and controlling of others. Some get involved in one non-nurturing rela tionship after another in an effort to "get it right this time", and they find it very difficult to separate them selves from relationships which be- pruning techniques to preserve a tree's health, the peaceful coexistence of trees and power lines, utility tree trimming, planting the right tree in the right place and safety, and sources of assistance and funding for community forestry programs. "People generally think of forestry as managing vast expanses of land with large trees, but trees are a valuable part of the community infrastructure, as well," said Paul Ries, ODF Urban and Community forest program manager. "We have only recently begun considering our urban trees as forest to be managed." Both Pacific Power and the Oregon Department of Forestry have established community forestry Register now for fitness challenge The Recreation Department is now taking registration for the Annual Employee Interdepartmental "November Fitness Challenge."

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) you are hereby informed that WSE contains Asbestos-containing building materials (ACBM). In accordance with AHERA regulations, an asbestos inspection and management plan was written and implemented on July 9, 1989. Thereafter each six months the asbestos in WSE will have periodic surveillance performed. Every three years the facility will be reinspected completely. Asbestos found in WSE does not pose a threat to health or the environment Management plans are located in the building office and in the District Maintenance office. These are available during normal working hours should anyone choose to inspect them. A copy or parts of a copy may be purchased at the cost of copying.

Many become "crisis junkies" who are always seeking in tense stimulation and find it very difficult to relax or live a normal, smooth, "boring" life. The only lime they can relax is when they're sick. They create many physical symp toms such as headaches, stomach aches, ulcers and high blood pressure. Some are plagued with depression, excessive guilt, or a wall of rage which keeps the outside world at a safe distance. Others have so suc cessfully numbed all of their feelings that they merely exist as observers, rather than participants, of their own lives. A great many adult children of alcoholics follow their parent's pat tern and escape all of their problems through drugs and alcohol. The damaging childhood pro gramming docs not have to be a life long sentence. By establishing a trusting relationship with a therapist, people can go through the process of remembering the old hurts, express ing the feelings which couldn't be expressed then, and receiving the support which wasn't available at that time. The grieving process can help to wash the slate clean and make room for greater freedom of choice in the present, spontaneous expres sion of a full range of emotions and peace of mind. If you would like to give this gift to your neglected inner child, please call the Community Counseling Center at 553-3203 and schedule an appointment programs.
