Goudy feels he will benefit from
this event because of the experience
it will give by teaching him how the
system works and expand his leader
ship skill even farther. He has done
various fundraising events such as a
dance in Warm Springs to earn the
money he needs to attend this trip.
Goudy has shown his leadership
skill by attending numerous confer
ences, mediated at one held at Kah-Nce-Ta
Resort, and put on a couple
of conferences for leadership skills.
He was chosen to be a speaker at
Siletz Jr. High as well as Madras Jr.
High. Goudy is involved with Futures .
For Children also. In August of 1992
he traveled to Albuquerque, New
Mexico to attend leadership training
and learned public speaking. He has
been selected the last two years for
Who's Who Among High School
Students, which is the top 5 of high
school students across the nation.
The second year he was chosen he
was in the top 1 of the previous 5.
References of chosen students are
given to various colleges in the nation.
Upon his return from Washington
D.C. he will be traveling to Albu
querque, New Mexico for training
for Futures For Children. Then off to
Newport to mediate for the Oregon
Indian Youth Conference, and finally
up to the Washington area to attend a
Northwest Indian Youth Conference.

munity in 1984, has benefited a large
percentage of Madras High School
seniors. The purpose of this impor
tant and meaningful event is to pro
vide our students with a fun, memo
rable and safe graduation celebration.
Since 1984, our community has
been very generous in its financial
support of parent's efforts to organize
a party that almost all seniors will
want to attend. Our business people
can be very proud of this ongoing
commitment to the youth of Jefferson
County. This commitment sends a
message of support for a high stan
dard of behavior and restraint for
everyone.
Each year efforts are made to par
tially finance the party through
various fund-raisers, and this effort
continues. But we do need help and
we are asking for help from you.
Donations can be in the form of cash,
gifts, gift certificates, food, or work
or enhancements for the car that will
be raffled. Any donation would be
greatly appreciated.
Throughout February and March
members of the donations committee
will be visiting or phoning Jefferson
County area businesses to ask for
donations.

LIEAP funds
available
The Oregon Legislative Emer
gency Board (E-Board) has approved
an appropriation of 3.3 million of
suite emergency funds to supplement
the Low Income Energy Assistance
Program (LIEAP). As a result
funding levels are now 1991-92
levels.
Central Oregon Community Ac
lion Agency Network (COCAAN)
will be receiving approximately
$162,000 to further assist low in
come Central Oregonians with their
winter heating bills. This translates
lo approximately 700 more house
holds receiving assistance.
Sharon Miller, Executive Direc
tor of COCAAN stated "We have
had to turn away approximately 300
households seeking assistance. With
these funds we will be able to serve
these households along with others
who are struggling to meet their high
energy bills brought on by extreme
weather conditions."
I louse holds m ust have a total gross
income at or below 1 25 of the Fed
eral Poverty Level to be eligible for
the one-time energy assistance pay
ment, which averages approx imatcly
$200. The poverty guideline is es
tablished by the Federal Government
and takes into consideration house
hold size and income. For example, a
household of one would be eligible
for LIEAP with an annual income at
or below $8,572 or $709 per month.
The income level increases by $2,975
per year, or $248 per month for each
additional household member.
Interested households can call for
an appointment at 1-800-245-4748.
