Funding increase for Childcare Assistance Program means more services The Tribal Childcare Assistance Program received an increase in funding for FY 2019. With the increased funds, the program amended its plan to expand income eligibility for families to reduce the monthly co-payments required and increase the hourly rates paid for child care services. We can also assist families certified by the State of Oregon Employment Related Day Care (ERDC) with paying a portion of their co-payment under that program. Funded Orthodontic Treatment Screening Changes were also made to increase the funds available to help child care providers meet health and safety require- ments, pursue additional training and assist with emergency preparedness.

Set aside until cool. Measure bakery mix and cornmeal into a large bowl and mix with a fork. Add the water and mix until a soft dough forms. Pinch about a 2-inch ball off and place it on a floured pastry board, knead and roll out thin. Place 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture in the center of the dough, dot the edges with a little water and fold the dough over the apples and press the edges with a fork. Place in a 475 F oven and bake for about 12 minutes. I also drizzled a glaze of powdered sugar and evaporated milk over the top and refrigerated them until the glaze dried.
