Sasha Robinson (left) and Tyrin Wolfe were
among the Warm Springs youth who attended a
pumpkin hunt at the Veggie Shack's Pumpkin
Patch in Metolius. 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.
Later in the week, local youth carved their
pumpkins at the annual Great Punkin Party and

Ten to graduate
Salmon Corps
Members worked 1, 700 hours
Several young people from
the reservation will be traveling
in November to the Upper
Skagit Community Smokehouse
in Sedro Valley, Wash. 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

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. The
event begins at 6 p.m., Thurs
day, Nov. 14 at the Upper Skagit
Community Smokehouse in
Sedro Valley, Wash., hosted by
the Upper Skagit Tribe.

Tribes oppose ordinance
; The Confederated Tribes
i again intend to appeal a
Jefferson County ordinance
regulating development in farm
and rangeland.
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.
Know the signs of
an abusive relationship
By Dr. Rachel Locker
Warm Springs Health & Wellness
Last year in Oregon more
than one out of every eight
women, that is 132,800 women,
were victims of domestic vio
lence. Scary but true. Domestic vio
lence is an epidemic in this coun
try. Women of all ages, races and
incomes are affected. It occurs
in both rural and urban homes.
Domestic Violence even occurs
in same sex relationships.
What are the signs of an abu
sive relationship?
You feel like you are walking
on eggshells.
You live in fear of your
partner's temper and change
your actions to avoid it.
Your partner seems like two
different people.
Your intimate partner blames
you for the failures in the rela
tionship. 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. Unfortu
nately we all know someone who
is or has been in an abusive re
lationship. If these signs describe your
relationship, get help now.
