To help heal the pain of
sexual abuse, those who hurt
need to know they can talk to
someone.
The Warm Springs Victims
of Crime has two events
planned for the month of April,
designated Sexual Abuse Aware
ness Month, to involve the com
munity and help bring the sub
ject to light.
Sarah Frank of the Victims
of Crime office said the events
arc to "get the message out to
the community so we can deal
with the issue."
"So many people are crippled
by abuse as children," she said.
"We need to let them know there
is hope to heal. We care for
them, and it's time for them to
heal and move forward."
The first event is the I leal
ing the Heart Prayer Walk
through the Warm Springs cam
pus area on Friday, April 7. The
walk begins at the Victims of
Crime offices, located at 1132
Paiute Ave., and continues on
to 10 stations, where the group
will pray at each spot.
From the starting area, the
walk moves to the Warm
Springs Police Department, to
the Warm Springs Courthouse
building, to the abandoned
building to the north of the
courthouse, to the Fire and
Safety building, to the Tradi
tional Treasures and Work Ex
perience located on Warm
Springs Ave., to the Spilyay

A brown bag lunch is pro

The second event is the Res

ners and walkers will travel from
the Warm Springs Campus in
three different directions, in re
lay style, lxping back to the cam

At the relay's start at 8 a.m.,
one group starts toward
Simnasho and back, a second to
Seckseequa and back, and a
third in a tour of areas around
Warm Springs, including the
West I fills, Greeley I leights, the
trailer courts and Tenino Apart
ments, and Upper Dry Creek,
among other locations.
The Restoration Relay is nei
ther a race, nor a competition,
nor a fund-raiser, but an event
stricdy to make the message of
healing for people affected by
sexual abuse known through die
community, Sarah Frank of Vic
tims of Crime said last week.
The idea is to form a chain
of people, covering each part
of the three routes. Frank said
the three routes total about 105
miles. She said people and
groups have already committed
to walking or running certain
portions of the routes, but to

At Warm Springs Elementary, fifth-grader Charmaine
Billey has become a very impressive reader. Since January
28, she has read an amazing 43,700 words. Not only has
she read a lot, "she has a very high accuracy and compre
hension rate, " said Principal Dawn Smith.
She is a great reader, but Charmaine still says her
favorite subject is math. In fact she has been excelling in
Accelerated Math and Math Facts in a Flash, along with
the Accelerated Reading program, said Smith. Outside of
school, Charmaine, 1 1, likes to play basketball.
Congratulations on your school work, Charmaine, and
keep up the good work!
complete each of the three
loops, about 60 runners and
walkers will be needed.
Frank said she has submitted
a letter to Secretary-Treasurer
Jody Calica and Chief Opera
tions Officer Lauraina I lintsala
asking that tribal employees be
allowed time to participate.
Frank said she is also consider
ing asking Indian Health Ser
vices to allow its employees to
participate.
"1 believe in getting involved,
not only to advertise sex abuse
awareness," Charles Tailfeathers,
an advocate for the Victims of
Crime, said, "but to stamp out
that particular issue."
Tailfeathers, who began at
Victims of Crime in February
and works mostly with citiens
60 and over and disabled citi
zens, said he hoped to get the
senior citizens he services to
"get out walking" during the re
lay, for their own well-being and
fresh air but also to provide an
other measure of support.
The Restoration Relay is
sponsored by Victims of Crime,
along with Jefferson County
Juvenile Justice, Central Oregon
Battery and Rape Alliance (CO
BRA), the Warm Springs Com
munity Center, Warm Springs
Police Department, Warm
Springs Fire and Safety, and the
Warm Springs On-Rcz Fish and
Wildlife Commission.
The Fish and Wildlife Com
mission is bringing Gatorade
and water, but Tailfeathers said

plan to walk or run in the relay,
ones who don't could also help
by bringing water to the runners
along the courses.
Frank said that a sad by
product of sexual abuse is "self
medication," through substance
abuse, both for victims and even
those who abuse, as they, more
likely than not, have been vic
tims of sexual abuse, also.
The substance abuse comes,
she said, because victims feel so
much shame.
"We're getting the message
out, that they can deal with the
issues, and they can find some
one they can trust and release
that pain," she said. "It doesn't
have to be through Victims of
Crime. It can be through Com
munity Counseling, a pastor or
a close friend."
Along with Frank and
Tailfeathers, Martha Winishut
and F.arlenc Tufti also offer help
at the Victims of Crimes office.
Runners on the Restoration
Relay will be sent off and beck
oned home with the blessing of
traditional drumming. A meal will
follow the relay. Participants are
encouraged to prc-register for
the relay, either by calling Vic
tims of Crime in advance (553
3393) or by email (safety
vocswstribes.org). "It's a day to feel free,"
Tailfeathers said. "To be encour
aged that diere arc others work
ing with them.
"People want to get healthy,
and we want to support them."
