The State of Washington
Museum donor board displayed
To honor and recognize donors ing invocation by Warm Springs
Chief Delvis Heath followed by a pro-
Maria Cantwell and Deborah
Senn, are looking to be the Candidate
to face Rep. Slade Gorton on the Nov.
7 ballot.
' Gorton will be trying for his
fourth term as the Republican incum
bent. j; Deborah Senn, the state insur
ance commissioner, and former Rep.
M aria Cantwell, now an internet ex
ecutive promoting her experience in
the "new economy," are battling for
the right to take on Gorton.
' I Senn got into the contest early,
after several potential Democratic
heavy weights, all took a pass. Senn,
51, has racked up dozens of endorse
ments from labor groups, lawmakers
and others. She pointed out that she
has won statewide races twice with
more than 1 million votes, more than
Gorton received in any of his state
,wide races.
'- Cantwell, 4 1 , enjoys the advan
tage of the millions of dollars she has
earned as a software executive at Real
Networks. In some ways, getting
booted out of Congress after one term
In the 1994 Republican tide could turn
out to be the best thing that ever hap
pened to her politically. She has
vowed to spend "whatever it takes"
to unseat Gorton, 72. She also says
she has a "real world" private-sector
experience that makes her a stronger
candidate than if she had stayed in
Congress.
Cantwell, for the moment seems
to be ignoring Senn. She said she
could win only by making a much
larger impression on the voters, not
by dissecting her opponents record.
Cantwell said, "I look at this as a
huge task of a cynical public that
doesn't want to hear too much about
politics.
Senn said she has been battling
insurance companies and fighting for
lower drug costs for years in her state
post and she scoffed at Cantwell's
interest in the subject.
Democrats say that Gorton, who
has been in public life almost continu
ously for more than 30 years, is more
conservative than most other Wash
ington residents and thus vulnerable
to an upset.
Gauging support for the candi
dates at this point is tricky.
In Washington "blanket pri
mary" system, all Senate candidates
including Gorton, will bo on the Sept.
19 ballot.
The leading Democratic vote
getting, regardless of her percentage,
will face the incumbent on the Nov.
7 ballot. Any third party candidate
who receives more than 1 percent of
primary vote also makes the general
election.

and initial endowment fund between
1993 and 1995. Tribal members Dor
othy George, Sam Wahsise and

Amelia Millie Colwash not only
beaded strips but also attached the
strips to the hide.
Dozens of individuals donated
between $1 and $999 to the cam
paign. All was honored with an open-

The annual 4-H summer camp
was held once again in Peters Pasture,
one of the old Land Marks of the res
ervation. Camp director Arlene Boileau,
said the camp was a big success, as
the camp was divided in two sessions.
The first was for a younger set of kids
up to the age of nine years old, and
the second session was for the older
girls up to the Eight Grade. The first
session started on August 6 and ran
to the 12, and was for the younger
kids. The second session started on
the 13 and ended on the 19"' of Au
gust. In the younger group there were
66 children registered for the first ses
sion, and in the older group there were
a total of 38 youngsters registered for
the weeklong session.
Peters Pasture, a picturesque set
ting deep in the forest and along the
Shitike Creek, near Mt. Jefferson.
During the week at camp each
group had a grand time w ith several
projects and planned activities of Arts
and Crafts, hiking, swimming, pick
ing Huckleberries, and a Sweat
Lodge. There were 66 children in the
first session, which were the younger
ones, and 38 in the second session for
the older group. A total of 32 adults
were among the campers who assisted
with various arts and crafts and other
outdoor activities during the two
week encampment
One day the larger group hiked
up to Harvey Lake to pick huckleber
ries and have a good swim as one of
the big highlights for the group. There
are so many things that children can
learn at an outdoor camp, and expe
rience would never have had if they
had not attended the camp. It even
gives the adults the enjoyment of the
outdoor encampment with the chil
dren during the two w eek, stay in the
camp area. Everyone can have a
learning experience of the outdoor
activities.
For several years the camp was
held at Trout Lake, which was the
more desirable location, said Arlene
Boileau, camp director. Each year the
attendance became greater at which
the Trout Lake area was not large
enough to accommodate all the camp
ers. The move to Peters Pasture gave
them more space for all the children
who really enjoy the outing. The chil
dren are very fortunate to have a camp
each year for learning experiences of
the outdoors. There are a whole lot
of children who don't have this op
portunity, especially those who live
in the large cities. Here, Peters Pas
ture is just the place to be during the
summer months.
A brief history of Peters Pasture,
which once was once a summer range
for livestock, and in the earlier years
it used to be a Ranger Station, and
during the depression it became a
CCC camp for several years, where
men came in to work.
Peters Pasture became a boy's
summer youth camp, and after that it
sat idol for several years until the 4
H camp moved in. It was said, that it
was a hard decision to make to leave
Trout Lake, but for more space, Pe
ters Pasture fit the need to house all
the interested children who want to
attend the summer camp.
