Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Census workers on the job The 2003 Warm Springs Tribal Census is well under way, but there is still a lot of work to do. "We have many of the questionnaires," said Madeline Queahpama-Spino, director of Vital Statistics. "But we're not close to being done." It takes a long time, she said, to make sure that every one is counted. A number of questions have come up among tribal members regarding the cen sus, said Queahpama-Spino. Questions to some of the more frequendy asked ques tions are as follows: First, is there any poten tial problem with the confi dentiality of the information provided to the census enu merators? Answer: All of the infor mation in the questionnairs stays on the reservation. The questionnaires are the property of the Confeder ated Tribes, said Queahpama-Spino. In the end the final num bers - not the personal, indi vidual information - are shared with the federal gov ernment. Question: Is the census really to benefit the tribes and tribal members, or is it for someone else? Answer: The 2003 Tribal Census project is entirely for the benefit of the tribes and and the tribal membership, Pumpkins, good for the whole family Got pumpkins? This is the time of year when ghosts and goblins are. busy dodging those horrifying Jack O' Lanterns. But most people don't know what to do with the pump kin once they're finished scar ing the daylights of the little witches and faeries. According to the Oregon State University Extension Of fice, if you take the time to use non-toxic paint or marker, then serving your family a pumpkin for dinner is the perfect thing to do. If it's a small pumpkin, pierce it several times with a sharp knife and bake it whole at 325 degrees until it's done. The length of baking time will depend on the size of the pump kin. It's done when you can eas ily pierce it with a knife. For larger pumpkins, cut it in pieces and bake it on a cookie sheet, cut side down. After cool ing, peel off the outer skin, scoop out the seeds and stringy membrane. Mash or puree the pulp and freeze in the amounts you need for your favorite recipe. Don't forget to hang on the seeds for roasting. They make a high energy snack. Take the dried seeds and toss with a small amount of vegetable oil. Then spread in a single layer on a shal low baking sheet and bake at 250 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally. Salt, if desired, cool and store for later. Freezing is probably the easi est way to preserve extra pump kin. It's possible to preserve pumpkin in a pressure canncr, but you should never use mashed or pureed when canning The mixture is so think that no safe processing time has been established. It is OK to use cubed pump kin in a pressure canncr. Springs, Oregon ! 1 I ! II I I II I I II I I I I I I II Census enumerator Hamilton said Queahpama-Spino. The reason the tribes are conducting the census, she said, is that the 2000 U.S. Census appears to have underestimated the population of the reserva tion. As stated in the tribes' bro chure on the 2003 Tribal Cen sus: "The Tribal Census will en able the tribes to document our true needs based on concrete data and to apply for funding based on a more accurate pic ture. If succesful, it will increase the amount of federal appro priations for federal- and state funded programs. The Tribal Census will also enable us to Student attendance up Attendance at the Jefferson County Middle School for Na tive American students has been excellent, the school reported recently.
