higher rates of diabetes and heart
attacks. "If we were able to keep our
tribe on the same principles that we
were raised on, when you grow up
and you're used to eating certain
kinds of foods. . . " says Courtney,
trailing off without finishing the
thought.
For the Columbia Basin tribes,
the salmon are the fabric of their
lives. Without this fabric, traditional
tribal life has come apart.
Taking out the Dams
Courtney knows how the salmon
can be saved from extinction.
"Removing those dams really makes
sense. The fish depend on clean, clear,
cold water. Without free, clean water,
the fish don't really have a chance."
That's why the Columbia River
Inter Tribal Fish Commission,
representing the fisheries interests of
the four Columbia River treaty tribes,
has endorsed removing the dams as
the best recovery option for their
salmon.
Courtney seems exasperated by
the current "interim" salmon recovery
plan.
Since 1975, the Army Corps of
Engineers has trucked and barged
juvenile salmon up the river past the
dams. The expensive program has
failed to halt the salmon's decline.

hasn ' t worked, but they 're still doing
it," he says. "The Corps says that
only a small percentage die in the
barges, but I've heard reports of
nearly half dying."
He says that the tribes have asked
the Corps for an invitation to
accompany the barge to see for
themselves how many survive. So
far, the Corps has yet to reply.
On this point, Courtney and the
Tribes turn to the rest of the country
for help. He explains that it's
taxpayers money being spent on these
programs, and it's the taxpayers who
should be angry about the failing
program.
"We'd like people to be more
conscious of where their money's
going," he remarks. "We've got
billions of dollars being spend on the
Northwest fish recovery programs,
and I'd like the people of the United
States to say 'hey, this is our money,
we want to see where it goes.'"
Broken Promises
As the dams have caused runs of
salmon dwindle, the tribes have lost
their guaranteed right to fish.
"The Government isn't being
responsible for what our agreement
originally was," he says. "If they're
not going to give us the little that we
wanted, then my feeling is that we

on the 5th day of May, 2000.

shown to defend against the charge(s). You may be
represented by yourself, by an attorney, or by a

tell them 'you're going to have to
give us back the land that you live on.
Give us back Portland, Oregon; give
us back the Dalles; give us back
Seattle' But we'd rather have the
salmon back."
Terry Courtney is a peacemaker.
While he and his tribe have lost much
during his life, he seeks solutions
which share the burden of salmon
recovery. He even suggests that as
low as the tribal fishery has become,
that perhaps its possible for the tribes
to cut back even further. Their current
catch is so low, however, that it
wouldn't likely make much
difference.
The tribes have honored their end
of this one-sided bargain. When
confronted with the question of what
will happen if the Government
doesn't honor their side by not
removing the dams and allowing
salmon to go extinct, Terry Courtney
speaks clearly.
"If they put us in that situation, the
tribes are going to have to have a
giant : lawsuit ' asking for
replenishment of what we don' t have
anymore. So the taxpayers probably
would bear the brunt of it by the
government not being faithful to their
agreement and their trust
responsibility." He adds, "I don't
want to see it come to that."

Problems: Post Truunuitic Stress
You've heard the old retort, "it takes
one to know one," used in various conno
tations. Positively speaking, that ability to
claim personal identification with the woes
of someone in need is one of the most
effective tools in helping the hurting.
Many war veterans are suffering today
from PostTraumulic Stress Syndrome. PTS
is a new name for an old story.. .After the
Civil War it was nostalgia, for WWI it was
shell shock, in WWII and Korea it was
called combat fatigue. No matter what the
term, the symptoms are the same, and most
veterans who suffer with it will only iden
tify with another veteran who has had like
experiences.
Building Relationships
Identification and availability are two
key elements in effective interpersonal
communications. Experts have shown that
these two elements, when present in a
communication exchange, are the ice break
ers, the bridge through which relationships
are connected. After all, that's a key reason
Jesus became man. The Christian veterans
in Point Man Ministries have found that
bonding sharing and forgiving are the vital
steps to a recovered life.
Point Man is an exciting international,
non-denominational outreach to veterans
and soldiers of all wars of all countries. It
is a ministry of veterans who have found
healing only through Jesus Christ, who are
taking the message of freedom, hope, and
healing to their brothers in arms.
The Horrors of War & It's Conse
quences , Unlike other victims of traumas, war
veterans carry scars that few humans ever
experience. While the ministry of Point
Man is helping veterans "make peace with
their past," we still must consider these
devastating results:
292,131 Americans died in WWII,
which lasted only 4 years. Of the 800,000
who saw direct combat, 37.5 percent be
- came serious emotional casualties.
Most Korean war veterans still feel
unacknowledged for their sacrifices, and
many have been plagued with readjust
ment problems over the years 25 percent of
the 198,380 who were in combat suffer
from emotional debilitation.
Between 40 & 60 percent of all Viet
nam veterans have persistent problems with
emotional adjustment. While only 58,000
plus, died during the 16 years of the Viet
nam war, more than 1 50,000 have commit
ted suicide since the war ended.
nearly half of the Argentine veterans
of the Falklands war remain unemployed
because potential employers see them as
wild, unstable, and undesirable misfits.
Most of these veterans still suffer from
severe discrimination and the suicide rate
is on a steady climb.

THE SOLUTION; A Ministry By
Vets For Vets
Enter Point Man International Minis
tries, a non-profit Christian organization
formed in 1984 to bring spiritual healing to
veterans and their families suffering from
"Post Traumatic Stress" (PTS). through
education, onc-on-one counseling, and
support groups. The organization was ini
tially established to support Vietnam vet
erans and veterans of all wars.
FoundedinMay,1984.byBillLandreth,
a Vietnam veteran with the America Divi
sion, Point Man was mainly a onc-on-one
ministry to Vietnam veterans. Chuck Dean
began writing aChristian newspaper, REV
EILLE, targo.cd to reach Vietnam veter
ans in late 1986. In May 1 987, shortly after
Bill Landreth passed away. Chuck became
President and Excessive Officer of Point
Man. ,
Point Man Vision
God gave Chuck a vision for an i nterna
tional network of small support groups, or
"outposts," of Christian veterans meeting
and praying for one another, and evange
lizing vets in their own communities
throughout the world.
Vision Became Reality
At that time, Reveille had a free circu
lation of just 500, going to vets and VA
Hospitals. By the end of 1 987, 2 1 Outposts
had been established. As 1988 closed,
Outposts numbered 99, and today there are
more than 250 support groups stretching
across America and extending into 4 other
continents. Reveille continues to be dis
tributed through the outpost network at the
rate of 20,000 copies per printing.
Developing Ministry Tools
The vision continues to grow still. As
needs are identified, Point Man stands in
the gap. Publishing efforts include mul
tiple tracts for use in ministering to Vets,
targeting known felt needs of those still
struggling with PTS, and other war related
problems..
NAM VET: Making Peace With
Your Past
Chuck has written the first "self-help"
book, geared to help vets identify, under
stand, and overcome PTS. having walked
through the fire personally in Vietnam,
Chuck shares from experience, and offers
the only lasting solution to the emotional
turmoil that has so many in bondage.
Restoration of Families
More recent developments include the
launch of "Project: Home front," a com
panion outreach to wives and families of
vets. Headed by Chuck's marriage and
ministry partner, his wife, Athena, "Project:
Home front" strives to bring peace to the
home through cooperative ventures with
the Outpost, Workshops, Support Groups,
and more.

From America," where people wrote notes
to say thank you to Vietnam veterans,
More than 33000 walked through the dis
play daily. Free Bibles were distributed,
und thousands were touched by the hand of
God.
In more recent months the Vietnam
veterans of Point Man International pre
sented "Operation Heart Shield. ..a salute
to the troops of Desert Storm." This event
included a food drive for military families,
video mail, a Desert Storm art display and
patriotic concerts, as well as a set up where
family members with loved ones in the
Gulf could send electronic messages via
computer ut no charge. As a result, other
large malls have called to secure booking
of the display for high traffic weekends.
New Projects
Prompted by the most recent war in the
Gulf, Point Man announced Operation
Heart Shield to provide encouragement
and support to those families with loved
ones in active duty military as well as the
troops upon their return home.
Regional Conferences
Response is increasing as Point Man, in
partnership with CBN, hosts the fourth
conference for Vietnam veterans at CBN
Center in Virginia Beach, Virginia, World
Vision is the partner for the west coast
conference at World Vision headquarters
in Monrovia, California. At these events,
workshops for pastors, Vet wives and teen
agers add to the outreach of Point Man.
In order to accommodate the need to
unify all veterans of all wars, Point Man is
now putting together a format for new
conferences entitled "United We Stand."
These conferences are designed to encom
pass military personnel and family mem
bers of every era from every country, to
include those presently on active duty.
Growth Continues
The primary reason for such tremen
dous growth in the short term is that Point
Man is meeting a need untouched by Vet
Centers or the VA. Moreover, because so
many in the Church do not understand the
problems, or the spiritual implications of
PTS, Point man has become a welcome
addition to many Church outreach pro
grams. Point Man is a faith ministry. Itreceives
no government money, or any denomina
tional support, nor does it currently receive
income from grants or foundations. Since
it's inception, Point Man has existed solely
on gifts from friends and veterans across
the country. A current financial statement,
budget, and tax return is available upon
request.
