Fireman Bob
What did Fireman Bob do last
Wednesday July 13th after work and
then playing a Softball game? Did he
go right home to his wife and kids?
Did he stop at Dairy Queen for a
Blizzard Supreme? Or did he go to
the Kah-Nee-Ta lounge to sing a few
Karaoke songs?
No! to all of the above. Fireman
Bob had a date with 350 or so pound
pig, named Porker. Fireman Bob went
out to kiss Porker because he was the
winner of Warm Springs Boy Scout
Troop 59's "Kiss a Pig" contest from
this year's at Pi-Ume-Sha. 30 Warm
Springs celebrities participated as
contestants by agreeing to put their
name on a quart canning jar. Fireman
Bob had the most money in his jar by
Sunday evening June 26th, and he
was to kiss a pig on the Fourth of
Lucky fig-Fireman Bob Sjolund accumulated the most money in his jar for
the Scouts' fund raising activity. Sjolund and Porker met lip to snout July 13.

This is the second conference and
the mission of the conference is to
provide a forum for agents to share
concerns and ideas as well as create
a unified voice on the importance of
this program forlndian communities
and people.
The program and conference are
supported in part by the Intertribal
Agriculture Council (I AC). The IAC
is a national non-profit organization
based in Billings, Montana and is
directed by Ross Racine. Racine en

the more tribes that become inter

the more leverage it will have for
continuing. The conference is open

Before the first Europeans sailed
west across the Atlantic, every cor
ner of North America was alive with
indigenous peoples. For more than
1 ,000 generations, 500 tribes of Na
tive Americans, each with a unique
language and culture, existed in what
is now the United States. Now, for
the first time, the stories of these
diverse nations-from their origins
through the devastation wrought by
European contact-are told in their
own words and through their own
eyes in THE NATIVE AMERI

A workshop designed to help
Native American communities deal
with violence and gang activity will
be sponsored by the University of
Oklahoma at three sites during August
and September.
The "Native Youth Violence

College of Continuing Education.
The workshop will be held Aug.. 23

"This workshop is designed as a

Teen pregnancy rate must be
by Governor Barbara Roberts
The State of Oregon has an urgent
goal that affects our youth, our com
munities and our families: cutting
the rate of teenage pregnancy in half
by the year of 2000.
This is no small task. We are deal
ing with sex and sexuality. We are
dealing with teens and parents. We
are dealing with peers and pressure.
We are dealing with costs, both per
sonal and societal. And we are dealing
with a complex issue that has no
single answer.
But that's exactly what makes this
issue so important it touches all of
us.
In 1992 in Oregon, 18 out of every
1,000 girls ages 10-17 go pregnant.
In numbers, that translated into nearly
3,000 pregnant girls across Oregon.
Three thousand complex decisions
that happened too soon in a young
person's life. And sometimes, a very
youngperson's life. Over 150of these
3,000 girls were 14 or younger
fourteen or younger! These are
children having children children
being sexually active, risk the health
hazard of child birth, being respon
sible for one so very much younger.
The cost to these girls and young
women, and to our society is huge.
Pregnant girls are more likely to drop
out of school, to have trouble finding
good jobs, and to need welfare to
help support their family. Many teen
parents work very hard to raise their
baby and finish school. But the road
is so much harder than it could or
should be. The babies of teen moth

ers also face a tough future. Babies of
teen parents are more often prema
ture and need medical care. These
children startout life with less than a
fair shake.
And each teen pregnancy costs
taxpayers an average of $30,000 in
health care and support payments. In
public assistance costs alone, each
year's new group of young mothers
adds at least a $44 million burden to
the state's General Fund money that
is subtracted from schools, or pre
ventive health care, $44 million that
can't be spent on alcohol treatment
or mental health or crime prevention.
It shouldn't be that way. But we
can change the way things are. Each
one of these hardships and burdens
can be avoided with one over-arching
goal: prevention. That is why teen
pregnancy prevention is designated
as an urgent state benchmark and
why it is a top priority for me and my
administration.
Right now, I am working with my
special assistant, Allie Stickney, to
develop a long-term plan by Fall of
1994 that can be put into place at the
state and local levels.
Any successful teen pregnancy
prevention plan will have to involve
parents, communities, and teens
themselves. Already we have talked
with more than 2,000 students from
95 schools across Oregon through
our Ed-Net system; we reached hun
dreds of community leaders repre
senting 35 counties; and we held a
forum where more than 300 local
