To the editor,
To whom it may concern: I'm not
sure who to address this letter to, but
I'm really hoping you can help me.
I'm looking for someone who is very
special to me. His name is Willard
Fent. He is called "Toby orTobiano".
He is a Warm Springs Native. He has
a beautiful spirit and he has "touched
my heart". Because of circumstances
beyond our control, we have lost
contact with one another. I haven't
got to talk to him since December 98.
I really want to let Toby know
how I feel and where I am. My name
is Mary Sterritt-Carr and I would like
to hear from anyone who knows any-
Tasheena-to my sweet sister 1 6
WOW! You have so much to offer in
this world & a key that can open
many doors. Happy Birthday, Tee!
Love you sister,
Nessa
Winner Joe-our shining light deep
dimpled of them all! Hey, waas up?

sage to him. So maybe if you would
print something in your paper, some
one would recognize him and let him
know. I have to try. Because when
two spirits are so much a part of each
other as Toby & I. It is rare and I
don't want us to simply get lost from
one another. If I can help it.
"Thank you" for taking the time
to read this and please send some sort
of response so I could know.
Sincerely,

What is Native American Self
Help? (Herein called N.A.S.H.)
Operated by Warm Springs tribal
member James Wolfe and wife
Patricia GoldenHawk, Native
American Self Help was founded by
people who have "been there" and
overcome their struggles. N.A.S.H.
was formed in response to the need
for an organization which incorpo
rates support with healing. At this
time, we are an all-volunteer organi
zation. A volunteer board of directors
holds responsibility for overall
management of the organization. In
dividuals are elected to join this di
verse group of concerned citizens by
other board members. We are com
mitted to helping ourselves and others
to heal and stay healthy. We are
committed to helping those who wish
to return to or learn their individual
traditions and culture with respect,
dignity and honor to ourselves, our
people and our ancestors. We also
help those who may not be Native
American. This group is Spiritual
based and has the support and guid
ance of a Traditional Elder and Spiri
tual Leader who has been doing
prison work and AlcoholDrug
counseling for many years.
We are a non-profit organization
registered in the State of Oregon, and
have received our Federal 501 (c) (3)
status as a Foundation.
What are N.A.S.H goals?
Our immediate goals are to de
velop and provide immediate refer
ral to resources such as housing, jobs,
support and treatment for those
coming out of prison or treatment
and off the streets. To continue and
increase our Circles and support of
those in need.
Our long term goals are to estab
lish an intensive Outpatient Center
and clean and sober housing outside
of the downtown area that will pro
vide a safe, clean environment to
help residents avoid returning to de
structive, unhealthy lifestyles.
What makes N.A.S.H. unique?
N.A.S.H. provides an important
statements of support and commit
ment to those seeking parole.'-We
arrange treatment with outpatient and
inpatient facilities under the guidance
of an elder alcohol and drug coun
selor and outreach worker and a li
censed family therapist. We assist
those wanting contact with their tribes
for information, enrollment, and
connecting with elders. The program
provides transportation for indi
viduals from prison to treatment, to
meetings, to job interviews, and to
various reservations, incl uding those
out of state. We sponsor a support
bridge between those coming out of ; circle at 635 SW 19th Ave. 123 i,n
prison or off the streets and spiritual,
tribal and treatment facilities; be
tween the Western and indigenous
traditions; and among peoples of all
faiths. It provides important
learning's and healing experiences
for people who are searching for a
way it integrate their spirituality and
their healing.
What programs and services
does N.A.S.H. offer?
N.A.S.H. works to develop and
provide immediate referral and re
sources for those coming out of prison
or treatment and off the streets. The
program works effectively with pa
role boards, probation and parole of
ficers, and social services in Oregon
and other states. N.A.S.H. also sets
up workable programs with proba
tion and parole officers as sponsors
of their clients that have shown a
desire to heal. We have provided
Portland, Ore. every Tuesday
: evening. The location is very acces
sible to homeless people and those
recently released from prison into
subsidized housing.
We support the Spirit Learning
Drum which holds weekly practice
and drums at various ceremonies and
celebrations.

us with you! I'll always love you! Consultant
From jour Dad
Happy Birthday to my brother
Samuel Scott. Wishing you a fun
time on your special day.
From jour sister Cigany Scott
"Dad I finally decided what I'm
going to be," the high school
sophomore exclaimed. "I want to be
a zoologist." "What's a zoologist?"
Dad inquires.
"I'm not sure but I think it has
something to do with animals and I
love animals." "I thought you wanted
to be an accountant." "I did! but an
accountant came to our class last
week. Do you realize those guys are
always inside? And besides, that was
last week.
"And the week before that you
wanted to be an astronaut. I don't
think you know what you want."
Dad is right. Too many high school
students don't know what job or
career they might find rewarding.
What's worse, they have no
experience on which to base a
decision. So how can you help your
child gain that experience?
School To Work (STW) just may
have the answer.
Students enrolled in STW are
placed in businesses that can give
them the direct, hands-on experience
they need to choose a job or career
that is right for them. You might say
its like taking a career for a test
drive. In doing so, students gain
valuable insight into their abilities
and interests as well as the world of
work.
And there are other benefits. STW
students begin to understand how
skills learned in school are used in
the world of work. The result is more
students stay in school. Further,
mentorships can turn into Summer
jobs.
There are currently over 200
opportunities for students in Warm
Springs and Madras. One may be just
right for your student.
Get your daughter or son thinking
about w hat they might like to do after
high school. Then encourage them to
talk to their counselor or STW
facilitator about enrolling in STW.
Give him or her the opportunity to
kick a career tire, look under its hood
and take it for a test drive.
You can reach the 509-J STW
office at 475-3292.
