Vacation bible school fun and enjoyable Film Festival set for Nov. 6-16 in mcir ninin year icacning Dime school in Warm Springs Michelle Sanders and members of their church came to teach at the Presbyterian Church. This year's theme was "Carnival Theme Park." held July 7 II. These youth are from Smith Memorial Presbyterian Church in Fairview, Oregon. They do all their own fundraising and recruit people to come and help out. A total of 20 people came this year. They were divided into three compartments, each kid was assigned to one of these members and stayed with them all week. They were the ride guides and took these kids to different attractions in the theme park to learn different things from the bible. Each day a different lesson was taught. They were taught in the form of crafts, games, video and story time, acting, singing and a follow up at the end of the day to wrap everything up. Sanders says, "The kids really enjoy it. I don't think anyone can see how deeply these kids smiles affect our lives. I hese kids minister to us as much as we hope that we minister to them." The youth who are chosen tocome here start preparing for it from Easter until the summer to do intensive training of, "what is Jesus, who is Jesus, and what can Jesus be in the lives of these kids?" Also in their own lives. If their own spirituality isn't solid then they're not going to be worth anything to these kids. They are also required to do a two-hour community service project and write about that in their application for the program. This year they came early to be in the Pi-Ume-Sha parade to advertise and hand out flyers. They also did the Extreme Ice Cream night to reach out the teenagers in the community. They fed ice cream to people for two hours and played games of water balloon baseball, bucketball and basketball on the campus area.

Walk the Art Beat Deschutes River permit system will be common pool aJ'$&& Redmond Downtowners Association If a permit system is needed to limit use on the lower Deschutes River in the coming years, the man aging agencies for river recreation area have agreed that it will be a common pool system. The agreement, in the making since 1988, means that commercial guides and outfitters and their clients will compete equally with all other boaters for limited river access op portunities. The earliest the common pool permit system could take effect would be the 1998 boating season. A deci sion on whether the permit system is necessary in 1998 will be made this October and will be based on the success of non-permit measures in reduces use levels on peak days dur ing the 1997 boating season. Start up of the system could be deferred indefinitely should non-permit mea sures such as launch check-in, boat ing and camping fee increases, and increased drug and alcohol enforce ment succeed in reducing boating use on the lower 100 miles of the river. The managing agencies for the lower Deschutes River include the Bureau if Land Management, Bu reau of Indian Affairs, Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Oregon Marine Board, Or egon State Police, and the local governments of Sherman, Jefferson and Wasco counties and the City of Maupin. Once placed in effect, the com mon pool system will be phased in over a minimum three-year period. The phase-in will allow commercial guides and outfitters to have a guar anteed amount of access for at least the first two years before they would have to compete fully in the common pool with other boasters. More phase in time will be allowed if annual performance reviews indicate the need. The decision finalized by the managing agencies calls for permits to be required only on Fridays, Sat urdays and Sundays from July 1 to Labor Day on the portion of river between Warm Springs and Sherars Falls. Additional days and segments of river will be included in the permit system if boating use continues to exceed daily and seasonal target lev els set by the managing agencies in the Lower Deschutes Management Plan. Once implemented, permits will be available up to one year in ad vanced on a first-come, first-served basis. The release of permits will be scheduled throughout the year to ac commodate long-range, mid-range and short-term planners. Oneormore trip members must be identified at the time the permit is obtained. At least one of the originally identified members must be present at the time of launch or the permit is invalid. The permit fee has not been deter mined but is expected to be about $10 per transaction. The fee will be designed to cover only the cost of administering the permit system. Initially, the state boater pass fee and the federal use authorization fee cur rently in effect will remain un changed. These fees help pay for basic visitor services. The lower Deschutes River was designated an Oregon state scenic waterway in 1970 and a federal wild and scenic river in 1988. Levels of boating traffic have been a problem on the lower Deschutes since the 1980s. The Lower Deschutes River Management Plan, adopted in Janu ary 1993, set both seasonal and daily boater use target levels. Having de clined for a time following the plan's adoption, seasonal use levels rose again, reaching or exceeding the plan's seasonal use target levels. Peak use on summer weekend days con tinues to exceed the plan's daily use target levels.
