Heppner Gazette Times. Heppner Oregon Wednesday, January 1,
lone Topic Club hears Domestic Violence program
Nicholson says that victims of
abuse have been taught to re
cognize the cycle their abusers
follow. The cycle of abuse starts
with excuses, moves into a
"honeymoon” period, then
moves into routine. But tension
begins to mount again and ul
timately something triggers the
abuser and the abuse/violence
takes place, she says.
"Using the cycle of abuse
was a tool for creating aware
ness of the abusive patterns in
the lives of those we worked
with, but we needed more. We
needed a way to help them
break that cycle and move on
into a healthier and happier
lifestyle," says Nicholson. "W e
wanted to be more effective in
helping them through the tran
sition from victim to survivor."
The tool to make that happen
was developed in
1995,
when Nicholson and her ad
ministrative assistant, Stacy
Pierce, with input from other
staff members, Vicki Rodriguez
and Lee Werhan, developed
"T h e Cycle of Personal
Responsibility" (TCPR). They
began teaching it to the victims
they worked with and said they
saw results almost immediate
ly. "I think the best part is that
it's so simple," Pierce said.
TCPR has been presented at
statewide conferences in Ore
gon and Washington and at the
National Employee Assistance
Program Conference in Chica
go, IL.
In early 1996, Nicholson and
Pierce collaborated with
authors Greg Enns and Jan
Black on a book called, "It's
Not Okay Anymore. (Your Per
sonal Guide to Ending Abuse,
Taking Charge and Loving
Yourself),” which features
TCPR. The book has been pur
chased nationwide by victims,
counselors and for use in bat
tered women's programs, says
Nicholson.
"Victims often feel over
whelmed and powerless, so
handing them an encyclopedia
on domestic violence isn't go
ing to be very useful," says
Nicholson. "But handing them
a simple, user-friendly, step-
by-step guide has been ex
tremely effective."
"M any victims aren't ready
to reach out to us for services,"
she adds. "But sometimes a
friend or relative will purchase
the book for them. After they
read it, they call us for further "It's called 'The Cycle of Per

Pond owners to register before Jan. 31
The Oregon Water Resources
Department (OWRD) is asking
owners of small storage ponds
to register for an exemption
before Friday, Jan. 31.
In most cases, Oregon law re
quires a permit to take and use
water from rivers, streams,
lakes, ponds and underground
aquifers, said an OWRD news
release. An Oregon law, pass
ed in 1995, exempts some
smaller-sized ponds from the
need for a water right permit.
Owners of ponds built before
Jan. 1, 1995, that store less than
9.2 acre-feet of water (about
three million gallons), or with
dams less than 10 feet may
qualify for an exemption if they
apply before the deadline.
After that date, they will be re
quired to apply for a permit to
store water.
Applying for an exemption
requires less information from
the applicant and can be pro
cessed more quickly than a
typical water right permit.
Under current law, an applica
tion for water use or storage
may take as long as eight
months to process.
"W e realize that many peo
ple may wait until the last
minute to file for an exemption.
We want to encourage people
to come see us before it's too
late," says Dick Bailey, ad
ministrator of the Water Rights
and Adjudications Division for
the department. "This gives
our staff more time with each

Under Oregon law, the
waters of the state are owned
by the public. The OWRD
manages these waters through
a system of permits known as
"w ater rights." This system is
for the protection of w'ater
users both out of stream and in-
stream throughout the state,
said the release. The Water
Resources Commission is a
citizen board that decides the
policies that guide the depart
ment in managing this re
source, the release continued.
The department encourages
landow ners with small ponds
who have not registered their
pond or applied for a water
right to contact their local
vvatermaster to file for exemp
tion or apply for a permit.
Pond owners may also con
tact the OWRD in Salem by
calling 1-800-624-3199. The
W ater Rights Information
Group (ext. 499) can assist with
questions about ponds.

Come on Down to
Bucknum’s Tavern
New Year’s Eve
As spring approaches, teen
agers throughout Oregon start
thinking about summer jobs.
One of the things they will
need when they find a job is a
Social Security card.
"Teenagers whose parents
claim them as dependents for
income tax purposes should
already have a Social Security
number," says Carol Michael,
Oregon State University Exten
sion home economist in Mor
row County.
But if they haven't been us
ing it, they might not know
where it is. Michael advises
them to locate their Social
Security card now rather than
wait until a potential employer
asks for it.
If a Social Security card has
been lost or stolen, an applica
tion for a free replacement card
can be obtained by calling the
Social Security toll free number
1-800-772-1213 or by visiting the
local Social Security office.

the probability of recovering
stolen items.
Your homeowner insurance
agent may have an inventory
form for you, says Michael. If
not, list items, estimate date of
acquisition, approximate pur
chase price, brand and model
number, and unique features in
a notebook.
Completing an inventory of
everything in your house is a
big task, so break it into smaller
pieces. Set up a system for re
cording the information on new
purchases. Do your most ex
pensive items first. Work your
way through the house a room
at a time. Don't forget the at
tics, basement and garage.
Even if you don't get a com
plete record, some records are
better than no records, says
Michael.

you have any questions
about a particular road
call Public Works Office
at 541-989-9500.
A household inventory isn't
easy to compile, but every
household should have one,
says Carol Michael, Oregon
State University Extension
home economist for Morrow
County.
Simply put, a household in
ventory is a list of all your fur
nishings, appliances, clothing,
sports equipment and other
tangible personal possessions.
Renters and homeowners use
the inventory when filing in
surance claims afer a loss and
when filing police reports after
a theft.
Among the information you
will need when filing a claim,
says Michael, is proof that the
item actually existed and infor
mation to establish its value, in
cluding date of purchase, pur
chase price, brand and model
number. In addition, serial
numbers are helpful when fil
ing police reports and increase
