WSIRA Rodeo Set For August 27, 28 1994 General Assistance: A way to self-sufficiency The next Western States All-Indian Rodeo will be held in Chiloquin, Or egon, on August 27, 28, 1994. There will be the 7 standard events and many added attractions at the show. With the rodeo season at it's peak where all contestants are eyeing that trip to the Indian National finals Ro deo, which will be held in Rapid City, SD., this year after many years at Albu querque, NM. In the timed events where at the start of the season was a pretty sure win is now way down the list Calves being cought and tied at a rapid pace, steers being wrestled down almost at the blink of the eye, and the girls barrel racing is really getting tough also and they really have their work cut out for themselves at each show, and now they really have to get a going to place at each rodeo. They also have their eyes on that trip to the National Finals. Points are piling up for some cow boys while there is a race yet in some events. For each Buck made or won at a rodeo is a point toward the high standings at the end of the season and a trip to the finals. There are just a few more shows left until the regionals and at this time this time there hasn't been any time or place set The other rodeos left so far for this year are this one at Chiloquin, one in Shurz, Nevada and one in Owyee, Ne vada. The dates are un-known at this time. The cowboys and cowgirls with the most points will have earned a right to compete at the National Finals. The cowboys and cowgirls all pay their annual dues, pay their entry fees, their traveling expenses to get from rodeo to rodeo and many travel miles and miles each week to compete, and would you believe they don't even get a , "At least we tried T-Shirt" Oregon HEAT helps low-income individuals with energy needs Oregon HEAT has appointed Jay D. Formick Executive Director. Formick previously served as Director of Development at the Oregon Historical Society and Marketing Research and Sponsorship Coordinator at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. Oregon HEAT is a private, non private, non-profit organization which helps low-income Oregonians meet their household energy needs and achieve energy self-reliance. Oregon HEAT manages low-income energy assistance funds for Pacific Power Portland General Electric, the Oregon Oil Heat Commission and municipal electrical utilities. "Oregon HEAT assistance comes to most families at a critical time," Formick said. "Sickness, unemployment, a missed child Wasco County Fair August 18-21 Rodeo August 1 9-20 support payment, or other unanticipated event can prevent many families from meeting the basic necessities of life, such as staying warm in the winter." According to Oregon State Housing and Community Services, 60,000 households in Oregon were unable to pay their heating bills last winter. "Each year in November, Pacific sends envelopes to customers urging them to lend a hand to help their neighbors stay warm during the winter, and Pacific Power stockholders match those contributions," said Bob McConnell, Pacific Power Manager. "Oregon HEAT is the organization that manages this program." All funds collected by Oregon HEAT are dispersed by local social service agencies, which determine eligibility on a case by case basis and ensure that those in need receive assistance. An annual campaign that includes a solicitation inserted in the electric and oil bills raised $638,000 last year. "Oregon HEAT has a very broad base of support across the state," said Formick. "More than 24,000 Oregonians contributed to Oregon HEAT last year. Those dollars, along with corporate gifts from the sponsors, helped keep over 1 1 ,000 of our neighbors warm last year. Oregon HEAT is an example of Oregonians helping their neighbors when and where it really counts." In the last edition of the Spilyay was the 3rd of a series of articles on General Assistance. The focus of that article was whether G. A. was needed. It was our personal opinion that it is needed, but the program must be redirected if G.A. is to help people become self sufficient rather than just provide General Assistance payments for minimal subsistence. Also in the lastarticle we discussed the 3 year EARN projects that were very successful in helping G.A. clients find work and thereby reducing the G.A. caseload for the seven (7) Tribes participated. They were successful because the projects made significant investments in the G.A. clients to remove whatever barriers existed to keep them from becoming self sufficient. There are reasons why people are unable to get a job and keep it. Those reasons are the obstacles that without assistance most G.A. or any other welfare recipients will not be able to escape the welfare trap. As we reported in the first article the respondents to the survey on the G. A. program indicated they did not want to be on G.A. but didn't have any otherresources. They also indicated they would be willing to invest their time and energy in a SIPI may be your answer If you can't decide about your future, then job training and higher education for American Indians and Alaskan Natives at Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute (SIPI) may be for you.

What then can be done to assist them to no longer need G.A.? We believe that there are two (2) immediate courses of action that can be taken! 1 . Establish an EARNTWEP type Self Sufficiency demonstration project: the CTWS has a broad array of resources that can be coordinated in a manner that allows easy access by G.A. recipients. A work group composed of representatives from many of those resources have been working cooperatively for several months to develop such a program. What is lacking is the additional manpower to offer systematic barrier removal services for G.A. recipients who can't over come their obstacles without assistance. This additional manpower would expand casemangement services to G.A. clients. Currently one casemanager has a caseload of 160. It is unrealistic to think that person could give personal and indepth service to this many. A Life skills instructor will be employed to provide a series of personal and family life sessions to focus on personal and career issues that will become a part of a comprehensive plan of action for self sufficiency. In addition a placement si tool to help recipients to become self sufficient. This requires that the CTWS do three (3)thmgs: A) Submit a plan to the BIA to change the criteria forG. A. program. B) submit a request to the BIA to have any savings in G.A. grant funds that results from the above efforts be transferred to the CTWS to be used to support pecialistwillbeusedtoworkclosely continuing efforts to help people vith Work Experience program staff, become self sufficient. C) Submit a request to the BIA for funds to establish and ongoing EARNTWEP program here in Warm Springs. The G.A. clients have been referred to as one of the most disadvantaged and most needy. They are heavy users of the Tribal resources because rarely can one program respond to the broad needs of G.A. clients. Therefore an indepth comprehensive focus on each participant is vital if we are to help them to be able to obtain employment and ultimately become self sufficient wi Vocational Rehabilitation Program staff in other to develop a number of work and training sites. We believe that a number of positions can be targeted within the Tribal Governmental and private entities that no new jobs will have to be created to accommodate those that successfully complete the project. However the long term effort will likely require some on and off reservation job development. 2. Initiate a process to change the criteria for G.A. that will reinforce the philosophy that G.A. funds are a Trio attends training; USDA info given Headstart parentsPolicy Council members Wanda VanPelt and Susan Moody traveled with Headstart Director Nancy Kirk to Washington D.C.
