Thursday's Sahaptin Lesson
"Animals that stay in Singular"
So far this week, we have covered how to talk about
animals in singular, dual, and plural. But we don't always
use the special dual and plural endings. Usually, fish and
birds DON'T use the special endings. In today's exercise,
we will make sentences about one, two, and lots of fish
and birds.
Look at the pictures and fill in the blanks. Use the words
at the end of the lesson.

Kalama Continued from page 3
He has taken a team to Oregon Stale
Games for five years. He has also put
on tournaments for youth and one
adult tournament for suicide
prevention. He became a mentor for
children and feels he has had a big
impact on the youth.
Mona Baez saw potential in him
and asked him to apply as a children's
advocate in the court system. He
walked children through the court
system who were abused sexually,
physically and emotionally. It was
very painful for him to see these
things happening the thc'ehildrcn.
He began his training at this point.
He then worked as a juvenile
probation officer. He had seventy
seven clients ages 12 to 18. Most of
his clients have made it out of the
court system and stayed out. because
he feels, he worked with them very
intensively and showed that he cared
for them. They did what they said
they were going to do and if they
didn't, they paid the consequences in
court, learning that they were
responsible for their actions.
He became ill and resigned from
the probation office in April of 1995.
He was hired as the deputy
prosecutor but stayed a short time as
the Liaison position became
available.
Kalama is also involved with the
Victim Assistance and the Victim
Impact Panel as a volunteer. He is
on-call 24-hours a day with Victim
Assistance. The Victim Impact Panel
holds meetings that Kalama attends.
He is not afraid to speak his mind or
challenge anybody. He says, "I do
challenge the people to help break
the cycles of abuse, neglect, rejections
and abandonment. To break these
cycles people need to start by
breaking the cycle of alcohol and
drug abuse."
He was also a Sunday school
teacher and involved with the Baptist
Church. He went with other church
members on a trip to Belize in Central
America and enjoyed it very much.
He said. "I was even like a magnet to
the children in Belize. I enjoyed
talking with them and seeing the
siclits with the children."
