Soccer camp has British style

Young soccer players of the
reservation learned some new
techniques recently from three
players from Great Britain,
where the game is called foot
ball. The five-day camp was made
possible through the tribal Dia
betes Program, said Carolyn
Harvey, Warm Springs commu
nity wellness coordinator.
She said that 42 young people
were able to participate in the
soccer clinic, held on the fields
by the Community Wellness
Center.
The weather was hot during
the camp, but the players gave
a great effort to complete the
program. They drank a lot of
water and rested in the shade
during breaks.
The training itself included
different kinds of soccer drills,
geared toward the different age
groups of youth who partici
pated.
A favorite drill was one called
crab soccer, where the players
attempted to move soccer balls
from one goal line to another,
while coaches and some other
players seated on the ground
tried to steal away the balls. Of
course, no hands were allowed
to touch the balls.
The coaches of the camp
were Anton Hel'fron of Scot
land, Garcth Vaughn of South
Wales, and Jennifer Rose
Coleburn of England.
They were representing the
British Soccer Challenge Sports
Corp., which promotes the
sport. The three applied to be a
part of the clinic program, and
were accepted. They stay with
host families while in the U.S.
In all the Soccer Challenge
program hosts camps through
out the U.S. In all, 70,000 kids
take part in 1,500 camps each
year.

dinator, Carolyn Harvey sent
letters to members of the Warm
Springs community, asking if
people might be interested in
having a soccer camp at Warm
Springs. The response was posi
tive, said Harvey.
The Soccer Challenge camp
in Warm Springs was made pos
sible by the Diabetes Grant.
Warm Springs Composite Prod
ucts and Warm Springs Forest
Products Industries also helped.
This was the first time that a
Soccer Challenge camp was held
in Warm Springs.

Yakama detention center investigated
TOPPENISH, Wash. (AP) -The
Bureau of Indian Affairs
has been investigating the sui
cide of an inmate at a Yakama
tribal detention center where the
man's body was left hanging in
his cell for at least five hours.
The inmate, Ricky Owens
Sampson, died June 25 when he
hanged himself in his cell at the
detention center on south-central
Washington's Yakama Indian
Reservation. His body was left
hanging - long enough for rigor
mortis to set in - because the
jail had just one staffer on duty
that night, jail supervisor Ned
Tillequots said.
Tribal officials expect a report
from the investigation soon.
Nedra Darling, an Indian af
fairs spokeswoman for the De
partment of the Interior, con-
firmed an investigation was un
der way but said she could not
comment further Friday.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs
operates detention centers and
funds tribal-run jails.
Sampson, 40, was being held
for investigation of violating a
domestic-violence no-contact
order, Tillequots said. He was
accused of violating the order
again while in jail and was moved
to an isolation cell in the former
juvenile wing.
Sampson was not on suicide
watch and hanged himself in a
part of the cell not monitored
by cameras.
Family members believe
Sampson was left hanging for
much longer, than five hours,
and tribal Police Chief Elliot
Lewis said they might file a law
suit. "I'm concerned about how
long he was left," Lewis said.
The suicide occurred two
days after the inspector general
for the U.S. Department of the
Interior criticized Indian coun
try jails in testimony before Con
gress. "BIA's detention program is
riddled with problems and, in
our opinion, is a national dis
grace, with many facilities hav
ing conditions comparable to
those found in Third World
countries," Inspector General
Earl Devaney said.
An investigation by
Devaney's office found a dis
turbing record of suicides and
escapes, many of them unre
ported to the BIA. His office
released portions of the inves
tigation in April; a full report is
expected later this summer, said
spokeswoman Pam Boteler.
The U.S. Department of Jus
tice also recently visited the
Yakama jail to investigate con
ditions, Lewis said.
Northern California's coho salmon
now on endangered species list
(AP) - Northern California's
struggling coho salmon popula
tion will get an extra layer of
protection from the state's En
dangered Species Act.
The state Fish and Game
Commission voted Thursday in
Bridgeport to place coho salmon
from San Francisco to Punta
Gorda in Humboldt County on
the state's "endangered" list,
i Coho from Punta Gorda to the
I Oregon border will be desig
. nated as "threatened."
"It was time to bite the bul-
let here and list the species as
endangered," said Sam
Schuchat, commission vice
j president. "We're down to thou-
sands of fish. If we hadn't done
what we did today, the species
is going to wink out of existence
and be gone forever."
Environmentalists who
pushed for the listing hailed the
vote, which now mandates that
loggers, farmers and other de
velopers seek special permits
before embarking on projects
that might harm the once-abundant
fish.
From San Francisco to Or
egon, the coho population has
plunged 70 percent since the
1960s, and is estimated to be just
6 percent to 15 percent of its
1940s level despite the release
of millions of hatchery-raised
fish, according to the commis-
sioa
Commercial harvests
dropped off dramatically in the
1970s.
In 2002, the state Depart
ment of Fish and Game re
leased a comprehensive review
on the coho, warning of im
pending extinction and recom
mending the protections.
In February, the commission
approved a $5 billion, 25-to-30-year
plan to revive the species
and restarted the process to seek
protections.
