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,

Ore. casino investors have mixed record o f results
(AP) — T h e developers
who .want to build a casino
outside Portland have blan
keted airwaves and mailboxes
with prom ises o f $100 mil
lion for schools and public
services from a project they're
calling "T h e Grange."
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.
T h e investors say every
market is different, and some
have less c o m p e titio n o r
lower costs.
T h e p rim a ry in v e s to rs
behind the project are two
Canadian companies with ex
ten siv e ex p erien ce in th e
gam bling industry. M ost o f
their projects have h it the
ja c k p o t, b u t a few h av e
