O p en in g night o f the
Children’s Art Show at The Mu
seum at Warm Springs featured
art pieces created by the youth
o f the community. In addition,
storyteller Adeline Miller was
present to tell stories, and James
Greeley was on hand to play his
well-known flute music for the
public.
This marks the tenth year of
the annual display of children’s
art in the museum’s changing
exhibits gallery.
Children have acquired their
talents in art from their pre
school years, cutting and past
ing, painting, drawing and even
the traditional artwork that con
sists of beadworking. As they get
older, they build on that talent,
adding detail to their pieces, as
seen at the children’s art show.
Childhood Education Center,
W arm Springs E lem entary,
Je ffe rso n C ounty M iddle
S chool, and M adras
High School brought
artw ork made by the
youth of Warm Springs
to the museum.
This year’s exhibit
■includes traditional art
work, modern art, and
a mixture o f both.
T raditional art in
cluded
beadw ork,
dream catchers,' side
purses, cradleboards,
teepees, drum s, and
miniature Indian-style
suitcases.
Modern art included the pen
cil drawings, paintings, cutting
and pasting, coloring, ceramics,
and the paper cranes. The pa
per cranes are o f special inter
est, as children express their
wishes on the display.
And there is art that has a
mixture o f both modern and
traditional, including the eel
dance display using paper dolls
dressed in their wing dresses,
chaps and vests for dancing, and
the pre-school paper cradle
boards. There is also an Indian
village on display, which was
made by a classroom o f chil
dren.
This exhibit is held annually to
focus on the youth o f Warm
Springs as individual artists. Each
child who attended was given an
art pack, consisting of drawing
paper, construction paper, paints,
and crayons, to practice their art
and continue to be creative.
The youth are talented and
you will see "that when you see
the display.

N e w Year brings fresh ideas
for Victims o f Crime Services
The Victims o f Crime Ser
vices receives help from key
people in the community, as they
work toward their goals. The
staff has completed four reports
for 2002, recording that they
have served 337 clients.
The Victims of Crime Pro
gram consists o f six team mem
bers. They are: Director Marie
Calica, P ro secu to r N ancy
Sampson, Women and Children’s
Services and Shelter Coordina-
tor/A dvocate Gwen Leonard,
Investigator Glen Dunsbergen,
and Advocates Debra Kalama,
and Sarah Frank.
The goal o f the Victims of
Crime Services Program is to
promote and provide safety and
justice for all victims of crime;
to empower women affected by
dom estic violence to live
h ealth ier lifestyles, and to
strengthen family structures.
They received assistance
from Dr. Locker and Montel
Elliott to reach this goal. This
program has also received help
from Sister Pauline, “she has
been extremely helpful, thank
you Sister!” adds the program
advocates.
The program sees some big
changes com ing in the year
2003.
Transitional housing units will
be built, where the legal aid of
fice is currently located. Fund
ing for this project comes from
H UD and the Warm Springs
tribes. In preparation for the
new building Leonard and Frank
visited a Women’s Transitional
Home in Portland that is now
being utilized by local women.
Tuesday nights from 6:30 to
8 p.m. Women’s Support Group
meets at the Victim’s of Crime.
This is open to all women, it’s
not too late.
Women’s jail support group
is held weekly at the WSPD.
Batterers Education is held
Thursdays from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
at the VOC.
A friendly reminder, for the
safety o f the advocates they
cannot work directly with a vic
tim when they are under the in
fluence of alcohol and/or drugs.
This applies only when a victim
is under the influence. After the
person has had time to recuper
ate, the advocates definitely like
to meet with them.
I f you know someone who
is in a violent relationship and
needs help, please give us a call
at 553-2293.
