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.
The Tribal Childcare Assistance Pro-
gram serves Tribal children living within

9 apples peeled, cored*
½ cup raisins*
½ cup water
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup sugar
1 block cream cheese
1½ cups bakery mix*
1½ cups blue cornmeal*
cream cheese and stir until melted. 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.
LIKE us on Facebook at Siletz
Tribal FDPIR. We would like to
see more people sharing their
recipes on our FB.
Peel and slice apples, put in a kettle
with the raisins, water, cinnamon and
sugar. Cook until apples are tender then
mash slightly with a potato masher. Add
