From Vol. 76, No. 19, November 26, 1976
Scenic standards sought for Deschutes
Oregon's Scenic Waterways Advisory Board voted
November 12 to recommend federal classification of
the lower Deschutes as a "scenic" river. After months
of research and deliberation, the Board passed a mo
tion at the Kah-Nee-Ta meeting to support the Con
federated Tribes in their position on the use of the
Deschutes much of which lies on the Warm Springs
Reservation.
In line with its tribal water code, the Confederated
Tribes have long felt that the lower Deschutes - from
the Highway 26 bridge to its mouth on the Columbia
River should be preserved through restricted use. To
this end a scenic classification under the 1968 federal
Wild and Scenic Waterways Act has been felt to be ap-
P.roPriate: ,.,.,. t . -,n
. Currendy the lower Deschutes is part of the Qregon
Scenic r Waterways System which includes eight rivers
throughout the state.
New life for Celilo
In a concerted effort to get a central government or
ganized at Celilo, the Confederated Tribes of Warm
Springs, the Yakima Nation, and the Umatilla Reser
vation have been working with Celilo delegates since
April of this year.
In a prevailing spirit of cooperation and support, the
Celilo Wyam Board was set up to deal with objectives
and program proposals for Celilo.
The two board members from each of the reserva-,
tions are: Olney Patt Sr. and. Amos Simtustus from ',
Warm Springs; Mike Ferrel and Clydel Bronson from
Umatilla; Roger Jim (chairman) and Nelson Moses from
Yakima; and Wilfred Yallup and Karen Jim of Celilo.
Well-Child Clinic reaches out to families
The lively atmosphere that reigns at the twice
monthly Well-Child Clinic at the Indian Health Ser
vice appears to be dominated by the babies and tod
dlers who fill the waiting room, corridor and doctors'
offices. But the clinic is equally intended for the par
ent. It is a place where mothers can bring questions
about the feeding and development of their babies and
share other parental concerns with the health service
staff. -
As Public Health Nurse Virginia Forseth says, "The
child is there, but the parent is going to mold the child."
The Maternal and Child Health Program of which the
Wellness Clinic is a part, has been built around this
thought.
Learning Center offers second chance
It's a tale of two ladies. Without a whole lot of flash
or fanfare they've guided scores of adults to their GED's,
helped secretaries improve their clerical skills, and or
ganized a variety of classes through Central Oregon
Community College.
In their quarters in the basement of the old girls'
dorm, Reba Powell and Nancy Jolstead have had a quiet
but significant impact on the adult population of Warm
Springs. They have been with the Adult Learning Cen
ter since its beginning and are being rewarded by a grow
ing community response to the services they offer.
Just as the Center seems to be on the upswing, it
ironically faces an uncertain future. Federal funding that
has paid for over half the expenses is no longer avail
able, and COCC is trying to maintain its financial com
mitment amidst serious budget slashes.
But the Center goes on. Last year 100 students used
the Learning Center on a regular basis. Fifty-one of
those were studying for GED.
Feelings needn't control
From Ihi stuff
of I 'ictimt of Crimt Strvicts
You can stay distracted from
your feelings from fear, hurt,
anger or any feeling that makes
you uncomfortable by over
doing just about any activity.
If you arc uncomfortable with
your feelings, but things keep
happening to stir them up,
you'll find you have to do
more and more to avoid facing
your emotions. And you may
not even realize how focused
you arc getting on your "es
cape" behavior.
The following list includes
some of the ways people escape
feelings by putting their atten
tion elsewhere. These behav
iors are or can become de
structive and take over your
life. If any of these situations
sound like your life, don't be
afraid to ask for help. Go to a
friend, parent, teacher or
school counselor and let them
know what's happening to
you. Keep looking until you
get the type of help you need.
Running or other physi
cal activity for hours at a time,
day after day.
Eating, not eating, binging
and purging, or just worrying
about food all the time. :
Regularly taking hours to
clean your room to keep it
spodess, even when it's already
clean.
Thinking about other
people's difficulties all the
time; your friend's problems,
your friend's friend's prob
lems, and so on
Always wearing head
phones and constantly listen
ing to anything other than
what is in your own head and
heart.
Sleeping all the time, es
pecially when the rest of the
world" isTawake'. V'"
.Too, much television
(some people think any is too
muchl)
Taking baths or washing
your hands every day, morn-
Powwow
to honor
sobriety, vets
The Simnasho Longhouse
in December will be the set
ting fur powwow honoring
sobriety and veterans.
The two-day powwow will
also honor of the late Johnny
Sampson, who always attended
the annual event in past years.
The powwow, set for Dec.
14-15, will include the Johnny
Sampson Memorial Round
Bustle Special. For more infor
mation, contact Gene A.
Sampson, Johnny's son.
Prizes at the powwow in
clude: first place, $250 plus a
jacket; second place: $150; and
third place: $100.
On Friday, Dec. 14, the
powwow starts in the evening
with dinner, followed by a
grand entry.
On Saturday, there will be
dinner followed by a sobriety
ing and afternoon, or hourly.
Using drugs andor alco
hol to get high, Jow, sideways,
or generally detached from
your body and life.
Trying to control other
people through words or ac
tions, intentionally or other
wise. Trjing to control your en
vironment through extreme
measures or "overdoing it";
organization, cleaning, etc.
Repeatedly leaving: leav
ing the room, leaving home,
leaving school, leaving town to
avoid the hard stuff. Wanting
to be alone more and more of
the time.
Thinking constantly
about anything, like nuclear
war, your boyfriend or girl
friend, your grades, your
health, your weight, your
future... you get the idea.
When you get your feel
ings back
Being responsible for feel
ings means we take responsi
bility for what happens when
we get out of control. If you
are in a down and out, nasty,
blue funk about your life, you
have some responsibility for
your impact on the people
around you. If a friend says,
"Boy, were you in a bad mood
yesterdayl I didn't like being
yelled at!", you need to own up.
You might say something like
"You're right I shouldn't have
taken it out on you, and I'm
sorry."
It is very hard for our rela
tionships to work well when
we don't know how one an
other feels. Sharing our feel
ings with someone tells them
what is going on inside us. If
we don't tell, we won't really

know what is going on or
where we stand with each
other.
A safe rule for sharing a feel
ing with another person is to
start out by saying, "I feel..."
Using an "1" statement like this
keeps you from blaming the
other person for your feeling.
For example, "I feel angry
when you arc late" is better
than "You make me angry
when you arc late." The first
statement says 1 am in charge
of how I feel, and that your
behavior (being laic) is having
a negative effect on our rela
tionship. The second state
ment says the other person has
power over my emotions and
their being late messes me up
that I am a victim.
The great part about having
feelings is that they arc all
yours. What's more, you can
learn to be more in charge of
how you feel if you want. It is
ONE part of your life where
you can make decisions about
what you want for yourself.
Tljcn, if there are people who
seem to be out to MAKE you
feel bad, you can choose to ig
nore the invitation. It's great
to be in charge of your own life
in that way.
