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.

Some ideas for
a healthier Halloween
October is here. 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.

Louis Allan Bagley passed away on

Mr. Bagley was born on December
12, 1950, at Sweet Home to parents
William Bagley Sr. and Gertrude (Pitt)
Bagle.
Mr. Bagley worked as watch man
for Warm Springs Forest Products In
In a recent study conducted in Con
necticut, 284 trick or treatets between
the ages of 3 and 14 were just as likely
to choose toys as candy.
So this year when all the fierce crea
tures come to your door, try giving them
something beside candy. Here are some
options:
Halloween theme pencils, crayons
and erasers. Halloween theme magnets
or stickers. Temporary tattoos.
Creepy crawly rubbery worms, spi
ders or Halloween figures. Orange col
ored or pumpkin shaped note pads.
Orange, black or Halloween balloons.
Bubbles or whistles.
Individually wrapped packages of
pumpkin seeds for older children. In
dividually wrapped packages of raisins.
Sugar-free gum. Individual juice boxes.
Individual packages of pretzels.
And maybe this will be a happier,
healthier Halloween for all the fright
ening creatures.
