Pqge 10 Spi'lyqy Tymoo, Wqrm Springs, Oregon October 27, 2005 Budget: discussion of bonus (Continued from page 1) Clements said he supports the $350,000 initiative for a Cost Of I jving Adjustment. I Ic said tribal department managers recently have come up with cuts of about S1.2 million. At the district meeting some members expressed concern over the possible loss of the annual bonus. This subject was discussed particularly after tribal chief financial officer Ray Potter distributed a bar graph show ing the tribes' general fund monies dwindling down to nothing by 2011, if current spending levels continue without a new source of revenue. Potter explained that the eventual effect the graph de picted would remain the same, bonus or no bonus. "Regardless of the bonus, the shape of the graph stays the same," he said. Potter said that at current spending the tribes' working capital would fall to about $10 million by 2009 and under $5 million by 2010. "We need $6 million to run on a smooth basis, to make pay roll," he said. "2009 will be a critical year, if we don't do something differently." The Simnasho District was scheduled to meet on Thursday evening of this week. This was after the print deadline for this newspaper. A General Council meet ing on the 2006 budget is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 9, dinner at 6 p.m., dis cussion at 7. The budget is expected to be finalized by the end of November.

Healing: hope offered to victims (Continued from page 3) When programs and or fami lies can understand and accept this fact, then the criticism and victim blaming will decrease. Knowledge is power. How can we change this learned behavior? First of all, we have to ac cept it within ourselves. When we believe that it is wrong for a man to beat a woman, then we can teach this to our children and others that look up to us for direction. If domestic vio lence is within our families we . need to seek help to make ap propriate changes. Men were made stronger than women to protect, not hurt them. Encourage people in leader , ship (at work and home) to set i the example. Allow your own family members to be held ac . countable when domestic vio- lence has reached a stage of vio- lence. Many family members ! hinder their own children's abil ity to receive correction by cov ering up the crime, or blaming the abused person. No one deserves to be beaten, no one. We must each take responsibility for our ac tions. We must learn self-control and seek help to stop the vio lence within our homes. How can we assist ad dicted victim's? In 2003 KWSO and Victims of Crime did a "Meth and Do mestic Violence" radio presen tation on the "My people and mother earth" radio show. Meth addiction increases the amount of violence in homes. It is common for abusers to use addiction as another way to con trol the abused. "If you call the police, I'll call CPS and you'll lose the kids." Ways that we can support addicted victims is to first set up a safety plan then work im mediately towards treatment. Working hand in hand with other community programs is extremely important to stop vio lence and addiction. Understanding that people often use alcohol andor drugs to self-medicate is extremely important. Abusers and the abused often have unresolved grief andor trauma that must be dealt with to help stop do mestic violence. Healing our wounded hearts can prevent relapse.,- t ... We encourage your recom mendations to help our program reach our goal: Promote and provide safety and justice for all victims of crime: To empower women affected by domestic violence to live healthier lifestyles and to strengthen family structures.
