On Patrol By Don Courtney, Warm Springs Police Department Gunshots lead to pursuit v resulting in arrest Two adult males were arrested following several police chases over a 24-hour period. What started out as a drinking episode on Friday, January 10, 1997, ended in shots being fired at a house in the West Hills housing district. Following up on the initial report, a vehicle pursuit then took place which led to gunshots being fired at the pursuing officer. The suspect vehicle which earlier eluded police was spotted again that led to a second vehicle pursuit. The suspect vehicle was then chased for some time before it stopped on U.S. Highway 26 near milepost 99. A foot pursuit followed a short distance where a suspect was arrested. The second suspect was later located and arrested. Both subjects arrested face numerous charges locally of Discharge of a Weapon, Assault on a Police Officer, Flee Attempt to Elude, Aiding & Abetting, Reckless Driving, and Reckless Endangering. Each charge has a possibility of up to a year in jail and or up to a $5,000 fine. Trial has been set for next month. Continuing investigation shows that one other suspect arrest is pending. In Brief Early month statistics show no sign of relief for the patrol division as the number of reports continue to be generated faster than can be handled. Domestic disturbance's continue to lead the pack as 17 complaints were reported that resulted in the arrest of 15 people.

McGruff Speaks My motto, "Take a bit out of Crime." These few words over the years can help assist our community or you as an individual not becoming a victim to the senseless acts of those who commit them. Break & Entering, Theft, Stolen Vehicle, Assault & Battery, Child Crimes, vandalism, etc., where each act requires a sense of awareness of those things happening in and around your home, neighborhood, or place of work. If you see something occurring that you know is wrong, report it. These senseless acts cost our community thousands of dollars each year in the attempt to replace or fix things that were done to us or our community as victims. These dollar amounts do not include those acts committed against individual victims where no dollar amount can be placed on trying to fix something such as emotions or one's mental health. weapons.' again, take an inventory of your items and make Dine at Resort Kah-Nee-Ta Resort Presents, The Portland Opera.

One definition can be defined as the act of inflicting harm to a child by means beyond that of normal discipline. The Warm Springs Tribal Code (WSTC 305.135) defines Child Abuse as: Section (1) For the purposes of this section, child abuse shall be defined as any physical inj ury to a child which has been caused by other than accidental means, including any injury which appears to be at variance with the explanation given of the injury; or, neglect which threatens the health, safety, and welfare of a child or which leads to physical or mental harm. (2) For the purposes of this section, the'foregoing definition shall not include the good faith treatment of a child by spiritual means in accordance with tenants and practices of traditional Indian religion or good faith parental, teacher, or custodial discipline. (3) Any Indian who shall abuse a child as defined in this section shall be deemed guilty of child abuse. Example: A child makes the claim of abuse by a parent. The child runs to an authority figure claiming abuse. The child got slapped by a parent for something the child said to this parent. Meeting! To discuss the High School Graduation Party February 6, 1997, at 7:30 p.m. in the High School Library All parents of high school seniors invited. What exactly was said? Based on what some of the things that are said to parents today, would my parents have slapped me also for saying such things? A lack of respect? Abuse? Example: A child who is out of control at home who constantly runs away, gets in trouble with law enforcement, is having behavior problems in school. The child gets spanked after other means failed to correct unacceptable behavior. Do we have a case of abuse? To what degree did the child get spanked? With what did the child get spanked with? Hand, paddle, stick, wire clothes hanger? Was this act of discipline within normal practices of administering discipline in the past by this parent. Was the parent in control at the time discipline was administered or was there a total loss of control where the discipline administered went beyond the scope? What are your current household rules of discipline? Does each member of the household understand the rules and consequences of breaking these rules? Who is the administrator of discipline? Is this a shared responsibility between both parents, guardians, or maybe grandparents? Is the continued breaking of rules through a progressive process. Are they fitting to the rule broken? Is the discipline being administered really doing any good or are there other alternatives that can be looked at? One alternative; Concentrate on the positive attitude or things that are done right in your household by it's members. Ultimately if it's a bad behavior that gets the attention by you as a parent; think about all the good positive attention that you can give for good behavior. Praise your child often for things done right. The chores, grades, social outings, etc. Practive good parenting skills and be at peace with your children or tcenacer.
