Tip 1 Quick safety seat checkup
Does your child ride in the back
seat?
The back seat is generally the saf
est place in a crash.
If your vehicle has a passenger air
bag, it is essential for children 12 and
under to ride in the back.
Does your child ride facing the
right way?
Babies should ride facing the rear
up to at least age one and 20 pounds
(a) .
Children over age one and at least
20 pounds may ride facing forward
(b) .
Does the safety belt hold the
seat tightly in place?
Put the belt through the right slot.
If your safety seat can be used facing
either way, use the correct belt slots
for each direction.
The safety belt must stay tight
around the safety seat. Check the
vehicle owner's manual for tips on
using the safety belts.
Is the harness buckled snugly
around your child?
Keep the straps over your child's
shoulder. The harness should be ad
justed so you can slip only one finger
underneath the straps at your child's
chest. Place the chest clip at armpit
level.
Does your child over 40 pounds
have the best protection possible?
Community Conference April 9
The community members who
attended the April 9 Community
Conference enjoyed exercising their
citizens voice at the "sticky dot ses
sions", and were reminded by former
Tribal Council member Olney Patt,
Sr. that we need to remember where
our strength comes from. There have
been approximately 400 community
members who have attended com
munity meetings in 1997-98 and pro
vided input to determine the direc
tion for the Tribes for the next 20
years. The Planning Teams are using
community member input; using their
words; to develop the Tribes 20-year
Vision and Goals. Even if you have
already attended a Comp. Plan meet
ing, you will want participate in this
next step of Phase 2, which is to
select the most important visions
and goals.
At the Community Conference,
Tribal Council member Zone Jack
son did opening remarks for the first
session and Kathleen Heath for the
second session. You could hear a
pin drop for the second presenter,
Olney Patt, Sr. who was present at
the session, recorded his opening
remarks on a audio cassette, in
Sahaptin. His daughters, NinaRowe
and Orthellia Patt, were present to
translate. Nina started her transla
tion by saying "After Orthelia and I
shared our translation with him, he
said, is that all you got out of what I
said?" He gave a very eloquent
speech, talking about the thinking
that was behind the decisions of
leaders during his 30 years on Tribal
Council. "The people who are liv
ing today and the people yet to come,
are going to be benefited by what we
are talking about today." The amount
of respect and listening of the people
was very powerful. There was a
presentation on community values
to discuss the importance of identi
fying our values as a community and

River Mill Reservoir (Estacada
Lake)
Keep your child in a safety seat as
long as possible, at least until 40
pounds. Then use an auto booster
seat that makes vehicle belts fit bet
ter. Most children this size are much
too small to fit correctly in safety
belts.
A booster seat without a shield
(C) is preferred. It is used with lap
and shoulder belts. A booster seat
with a shield (d) is used if your car
has only lap belts in back. Check on
special products for heavy children
too active to sit still in a booster.
How should a safety belt fit an
older child?
The child must be tall enough to
sit without slouching, with knees at
the edge of the seat. The lap belt must
fit low and tight across the upper
thighs. The shoulder belt should fit
over the shoulder and across the chest.
Never put the shoulder belt under the
arm or behind the back.
For more information, read Child
Auto Safety Tips 2 to 9 and call
your local safety group or the Auto
Safety Hotline: 1-800-424-9393.
Even the "safest" seat may not
protect your child if it isn't used
correctly.
Booster with a shield (right) is
used with a tap belt
as individuals.
Sticky Dot Session
Then came the fun part. Confer
ence participants were given sticky
dots to place on Visions, Values and
Goals they thought should be fo
cused on over the next 20 years.
The results of the Sticky Dot Ses

was a day we had family members
who were extremely wise, watchful
and alert. Today is it due to the many
distractions such as alcohol, drugs
and T.V. that were introduced to our
people we became careless with our

deficiency Virus, HIV-the AIDS vi
rus. The AIDS virus may live in the
human body for years before actual
symptoms appear. It primarily af
fects you by making you unable to
fight other diseases. These diseases
can kill you.
Many people fee that only certain
"high risk groups" of people are in
fected by this virus. This is untrue.
Who you are has nothing to do with
whether you are in danger of being
infected. What matters is what you
do.
There's a lot of focus on HIV
these days. So we sometimes forget
about the other sexually transmitted
diseases (STD). Not all STD's are as
serious as HIV, but STD's can cause
major and often painful damage to
your body. If not treated, an STD can
make you unable to have children. It
can make you sick and cause long
term infections.
Today is a good day to live the
healthy live style which can assure
you a Healthy future.
