P3 je 10 Spilyay Tyrooo, Wrm Springs, Oregon October 16, 2003 Friend of tribes passed away Warm Springs lost a friend and supporter when Ham' Clark Paget passed away on August 23 of this year. Mr. Paget died at age 79, fol lowing a year-long battle with lung cancer. He died at his home in Anacortes, Wash. Mr. Paget earned a bachelor's degree in 1951 from Reed College in Portland. His major was in an thropology and drama, with a mi nor in sociology and speech. He received Reed's creative the sis award for his thesis and film, Return to the River. The thesis and film were based on the Indian fish er' at Celilo Falls on the Columbia River. In 1997, Mr. Paget transferred the film to VMS for museum use. Return to the River is still sold in museums in the Northwest. Mr. Paget was updating the film with footage from the Warm Springs Fish Hatchery at the time he be came ill. Mr. Paget was hired as the di rector of the Mid-Oregon Indian Historical Society in 1975. He worked to set up a cultural com plex and museum. While here, he renewed strong bonds with com munity tribal leaders whom he had known from his early anthropol ogy interests while a student at Reed College. Two people that he kept close ties with over the years were then Mid-Oregon Indian Historical So ciety chairman Rudy Clements, and Wasco Chief Nelson Wallulatum. Mr. Paget also kept in contact with Ray and Sandy Rangila, with whom he stayed when he first moved to Warm Springs. He had a deep interest in Warm Springs, and in recent years had lob bied tribal friends to move Billy Chinook's old house to the Mu seum at Warm Springs. On one of his last trips to Warm Springs he found that the house had deteriorated to where it was impossible to move. Another of his passions was to protect the Seekseequa Church by moving it to the museum grounds. Mr. Paget talked often about how someone should write a book about Billy Chinook. He felt that with the advent of the Internet, someone could research Chinook at little expense and provide a valu able book for the Wasco people. I le and his wife Patricia retired to Anacortes in 1989. He enjoyed sailing and chose this region so he could continue that passion. I le also worked to bring the Anacortes Sis ter Cities Association to fruition and expansion. I le joined the first adult group that went to Lomonosov, Russia, in October 1992, and Kisakata, Japan, in September 1995. He en joyed hosting many visitors from those countries at his home. Mr. Paget had a passion for life, with special interest in books, Northwest Native American cul ture, and his computer. A gathering of I larry's family and special friends took place Au gust 31 at the group tenting area at Washington Park in Anacortes. I lis ashes will be released at sea, as he requested.

Soon it will be Hal loween and there will be goblins and ghosts knocking on your door looking for treats. Mostly those treats involve some sort of sugary pre-packaged candy. But in a time when juvenile diabetes is at an all time high on the reservation, perhaps you should reconsider your Halloween treat plan. According the U.S. Department of Agriculture Research Service, kids are eating more sugar than ever: on the av erage 21-23 teaspoons of added sugar every day. Most of this is from carbonated sodas, fruit drinks, candy and sweet baked goods like cakes and cookies. When this is combined with minimal physical exercise and hours of staring at the TV or computer screen, it's no wonder that many children on the res ervation are at risk for diseases associ ated with obesity.
