Choices and Challenges: Teen
Conference set for May 21
This year brings the eighth annual
Teen Conference to central Oregon.
The Teen Parent Program at Madras
High School has been instrumental
in planning this event since 1991,
with the focus being providing a day
for students to attend workshops, hear
speakers, experience some entertain-
t ment that all address issues teen
wrestle with on a daily basis. It has
evolved from being a teen parent
conference to a conference for all
teens. The event is called "Choices
and Challenges".
Candis Wood of Madras and
Jonathan Jackson of Warm Springs,
both students at the Buff Learning
Center, have worked closely with
Teen Parent Program coordinator
Lisbet Hornung in planning this
year's conference. Caroline Cruz will
join the group and conduct a special
activity but the surprise element pro
hibits coordinators from revealing
the details. Caroline will direct a
game that will teach students about

The Full Gospel Church was condemned and partially tom down
and plans were drawn for the new church in 1994. Groundbreaking
ceremonies were held. Construction was stopped completely until
recently when the Tribes established a grant for a new church building.
Construction will continue and they will go as far as they can until
funds run out. Church members hold Indian taco sales every Thursday
and Friday to raise money to continue construction.
They have accepted help from a church in Bend that has donated
$5,000 for the construction of the foundation. During the pouring of
the concrete, 32 people volunteered their time to help.
Another church from Bend donated $5,000 for a heating system. It
will be a radiant heating system, which heats from the floor. "One of
the first to be utilized in this area, going real well in Bend. It's an old
system but still new to us because it is starting to catch on again," says
George Aguilar, Sr.
Another church has donated materials for construction of the
church as well.
All labor is 100 local, no subcontractors with the exception of the
heating system. They have received help from community members
Award-winning video takes
The ten-minute, excuse me, the
nine-minute, fifty-nine-second, video
depicting the migration of Moses and
the Israelites through the Red Sea
earned sufficient awards on the dis
trict and state levels to enable three
lobal students' td'fhake a ten-day trip
to New York and the Nation's Capi-.
tol in mid-June for the National His
tory Day competition. This year's
national theme was "Migration in
History". ..
Shiloh Partin, Maleena Ennis and
Michael Martinez, along with
Johanna Ennis, Rosetta Martinez and
chaperones Jim and Marie Ennis will
leave June 8 for Washington, DC.
The entourage will visit New York
before actual competition begins June
14. (Micheal and Rosetta Martinez
are enrolled members of the Confed
erated Tribes and are the children of
Trudee Smith Martinez.)
Partin, a freshman at Madras High
School, Maleena Ennis, a senior, and
Michael Martinez, also a freshman,
wrote, produced, costumed and per
formed the award-winning video.
Partin incorporated music, digital
graphics and narration in the video to
spice it up.

An ingeneous video earned these students a trip to Washington, DC for National History Day
finals. Included are, from left to right, Michael Martinez, Shiloh Partin, Rosetta Martinez, Maleena
Ennis and Johanna Ennis.
Now that the video is complete,
and the preliminary competitions are
out of the way, the kids' work is
really cut out for them. They must
come up with enough money to get
them on the plane. The three need
nearly $1,000 each for the trip.

just passing by, people that just want to do something and two
community service workers. "We've had real good response from the
community, and we certainly appreciate them," says Aguilar.
The building will sit for a while and will be completed as the funds
are generated. The church is set to be insured at $205,000. Aguilar
believes it will be a very good building. The walls and the roof will be
metal, Aguilar jokingly says, "Don't have to worry about a paint job."
The Tribe has granted them an additional four acres near the
existing church building. Their long-term goals include a volleyball
court, playground, basketballtennis court combination, shuffleboard
and barbecue pit. The barbecue pit will be constructed by the White
Swan Youth Corps and will have a big oven on top. It will be available
for use by all community members.
The existing building will be left standing and may possibly be used
as a halfway house for recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. It
already has showers and a bathroom.
With the construction beginning, the congregation are thankful to
Tribal Council and the community for their help. "It's a community
effort, it's for everybody," concludes Aguilar.
