October campaigns to raise awareness Red and purple will be seen frequently around Warm Springs this October as part of two campaigns for E)omestic Violence Awareness Month. - Several ted, wooden silhou ettes will be distributed through- 'vout Warm Springs in October, according to Mark Matthews, «director of Victims of Crime, c Each wooden ¿utout features to sheet of paper that explains domestic abuse or relates a per sonal account or someone from Oregon. Matthews adopted the idea as part of the Silent Witness Na- ' tional Initiative. In 1990, 'a group of women in Minnesota founded the pro gram to speak out about domes tic violence. They came up with the idea ito use the free-standing, life-, i sized wooden figures in order to commemorate the women' who had lost their lives due to domestic violence. In addition, community members may see a lot o f' purple in town this month as Victims o f Grime uses the purple ribbon campaign , to spread awareness. The campaign began in 1994 with the goal of eliminating in terpersonal-violence. Supporters wear purple rib bons to support the end of do mestic violence. The creators of the International Purple Ribbon Project believe that domestic violence eventually leads to vio lence outside the home. Victims of Crime Services will also be running public ser vice announcements on KWSO and distributing handouts in the community. They will also participate in a domestic violence census that will identify the survivors of domestic violence during a given period.

In the first six months of 2007 , 21 people were sheltered through VOCS and 46 restrain ing orders were filed— 10 of, which were emergency restrain ing orders. According to Matthews, those instances typically include victims of domestic violence. VOCS recently added a po sition for a dvil legal advocate who assists victims with legal is sues that may relate to domes tic violence. While domestic violence typi cally involves physically harm ing someone, it can also include threats, harassment, stalking, or even negligent wounding, Matthews said. * There is an on-going bottle drive fundraiser benefiting the Rez Express, the All-In dian high school boys basket ball team representing Warm Springs.

Tribal Council members and management officials breathed a long-awaited sigh of relief for two reasons. One,; the $12.4 jmillion tribal operating budget for. 1983 was finalized; and two, Portland General Electric issued a check to the tribes for the Pelton rent payment. Tribal Council and manage ment worked hectically to final ize the budget in order to have it posted by the October 1, mid night deadline. Word o f PGE’s payment came just before noon, Friday, and the tribes re ceived the $4.6 million check at 12:05 p.m. i The payment somewhat re lieved the' budget pressure for 1983. However, tribal depart ments will go into 1983 with whatever cUts were made.
