Nov. 5 opening of ‘Talking for the Children’ The Warm Springs clinic will soon include a children’s clinic that will help in the in vestigation o f child sexual abuse. In the past, children who are victims o f the crime o f sexual abuse have had to travel to a clinic in Bend for the investigation, including an interview by specialists and physical examination. T he new W arm Springs children’s clinic will eliminate the need for the trip to Bend. Traveling out o f the com munity and meeting with un familiar people can add to the c h ild ’s trau m a, ex p lain ed C aroline C ruz, d irecto r o f tribal Health and Hum an Ser vices. Having the clinic located locally will alleviate some of this additional stress to the victim, she said. The child clinic is called “ Snw iyaila M iy an ash n a,” translated as “Talking for the Children.” Cruz and N ancy Seyler, form er director o f Victims o f Crime Services and now tribal prosecutor, have been working on the clinic project for a couple o f years. The hope w duld be that the clinic would never have to be used, but an average o f a b o u t five cases o f child sexual abuse are reported lo cally each year. “A nd we want to have our own kids center here in Warm Springs,” Cruz said. She added that parents or guardians'would still have the option to travel to the center in Bend, if they prefer. Dr. Rachel Locker has also been assisting with the project, along with assistant U.S. A t torney Craig Gabriel, detec tive R o n G reg o ry , G ary S a m u e l,. an d F B I ag en t Rhonda Schantz Townsend.

Oregon would get quite a bit more money if they gave the state the same deal they've giv en g o v e rn m e n ts else where. In other jurisdictions, the same developers share a much larger portion o f their revenue with the governm ent _ 75 percent in British Co lumbia, 50 percent in N ew Brunswick, 45 percent in Illi nois.
