The trip was sponsored by the Warm Springs Recreation Department. The trip included a visit to a petting zoo with chickens, ducks, rabbits and goats. There was also a hay maze, and many pumpkins available for picking.

The youth will be attending the Eighth Annual Graduation Cer emony of the Salmon Corps. Each year the young men and women of the Salmon Corps work many hours - at times in extreme heat and other difficult conditions - to improve fish habitat. This year there are 10 Salmon Corps graduates from the Warm Springs Reservation. The graduates are: Aldo Garcia, squad leader, Edwin Thomas, Alberto Jimenez, John Kalama, Lewis Hellon, Lamar Jackson, Sarah Belgard, Eugene Wewa, Larry Squiemphen III, and Ambrose George. To graduate, each of the Salmon Corps volunteers must complete 1,700 hours of work. "This is one of the hardest scholarship programs," said Roland Kalama, who has been the Warm Springs Salmon Corps director for five years. As an example of the work: This summer, while building a fence line on tribal property near Condon, the Salmon Corps crews were working in 134-de-gree weather. Kalama mentioned that youth workers from the Work Experience and Develop ment Department (WEDD) are also to be credited for their help on the Condon area fence project. Salmon Corps began in 1994 with the goal of inspiring Na .ye, , Amqriqanyo.ung adufpages I to, repair ; disappearing fish habitats in the Pacific North west Salmon Corps members spend the year providing in stream restoration, planting na tive vegetation, and building and repairing miles of fence along riparian corridors. This year Salmon Corps member Edwin Thomas com pleted the program one month early, and is now working at the Housing Department. Alberto Jimenez also com pleted the program a month early, and is getting ready to at tend college. Lewis Hellon re ceived his GED, and Ambrose George as of last week was still awaiting the results of his GED testing. , . , All or at least nearly all of the 10 Warm Springs Salmon Corps members this year were planning the graduation.

Tribal officials are opposed ', to the ordinance because, they i say, the new regulation is incon sistent with the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan. The tribes are joined by the Jefferson County Farm Bureau in opposing the new ordinance. From the tribal perspective, increased development in farm and range areas could reduce wildlife and native plant habitat in the ceded lands encompassed by the county. The tribes intend to appeal the ordinance to the Oregon Land-Use Board of Appeals.

You don't see friends or fam ily to prevent your partners an ger or jealousy. Your intimate partner con trols where you go and what you do. Your intimate partner con stantly puts you down, humili ates you or lies to you. Your intimate partner is ex tremely jealous and constantly accuses you of having affairs. Your partner destroys or mars your things, threatens your pets or things dear to you. Your intimate partner forces you to submit to sex, to do sexual things against your will or hurts you during sex. Your intimate partner slaps, pulls, shoves, kicks, burns or threatens you with or without a weapon. No one deserves to be abused ... no one.
