This Act provides for the ma jority of the housing assistance from HUD to be awarded on a block grant basis directly to the Tribes. This has created a system that allows each Tribally Designated Housing Entity more flexibility to create housing programs that best meet the needs of its community. This is also the first time that the federal government has made a statutory declaration of its trust responsibility to house Native Americans. Warm Springs and all other Trib ally Designated Housing Entities are required to submit an approved One and Five Year Housing Plan to HUD before November 3, 1997 to receive monies for HUD projects and activi ties.

Fifth graders complete DARE training The Fifth Grade class at Jefferson County Middle School completed the Drug Abuse Resistence Awareness (DARE) training for 1997 school year. Officer Ray Cuellar of the Prineville Police Department taught the fifth grade class the dangers of drug abuse. Students wrote essays about what they learned in the DARE Program and from each classroom an essay winner was chosen to read their essay at the graduation. Each student received a DARE package containing bumper stickers, key chain, T-shirt,1 and pencils for their efforts. They learned to say no to a drug pusher and the effects of drugs to your body. In addition to their education about the affects of drugs each student was taught gang awareness. Parents are encouraged to continue the education of drug abuse awareness in their homes. What a parent can do The first thing a parent can do in the fight to have a drug-free child is learn about the kind of drugs kids abuse. This will put you in a good position to have frank, open discussions with your children to impress upon them that they are being sold a bill of goods by the drug culture. That they are being led to believe that drugs are "cool" when in fact they represent a tremendous health hazard. Armed with the proper information, you can give your kids the help they need to say "no" to drugs. It' s important for you to encourage your children to get involved in activities that can give them a "natural" high. Sports, recreational, Oregon Indian Education honors locals- Foster Kalama, community liaison for the 509-J school district, was selected as counselor of the year lr the Oregon Indian Education Association for the 1996-97 school year. Kalama was very honored and glad to receive the award. "This felt good and makes me feel like people are seeing what kind of work I have been doing. And it tells me I am making a difference in some of the kids lives." said Kalama. Kalama added "I enjoy touching bases with the youth. I think that's the most important part of my job is to be there for them and help them with their problems that come up at home or wherever problems may arise. When I started this job I thought to myself here here I am God, show me what you want me to do. I have just went from there. I touch bases with about 40-50 youth per day not only in the school system, but at home as well. I deal with runaways, Caucasian youth, Mexican youth, or any youth that wants my help. I hope people realize we need to come together as a team, parents, teachers, students, counselors and community members so we can become stronger and our youth can learn. They will become our leaders of tomorrow and we as parents should be looking out for them. "There are some great human beings working at the school who are assets to our youth, who really care what happens to them. I am glad to be working with them," concluded Kalama. I also heln mv erandma cook fish for 1 j c salmon bakes at Kah-Nee-Ta. Finally I like to travel to powwows to fancy dance. I would like to represent Pi-Umc-Sha Treaty Days. Not only the Tasha Mares powwow but, also the people of the reservation. Thank you to those people who bought tickets from me. Hope to see you at Pi-Ume-Sha. Good day to you.

Seelatsee of Priest Rapids and the late Dclores religious and volunteer activities can be real substitutes for drugs. It's important for both you and your children to discuss rules of behavior and to set clear and distinct limits they can understand. It's also crucial that you participate. Form groups with other concerned parents. Join your P.T.A. Invite drug counselors to meetings. Talk with school superintendents, principals, coaches, church people, physicians and local politicians to make sure that everyone is not only aware of the drug problems but that . they are responsive to them. If we can stop drug abuse at the experimental stages, we'll be getting at the problem before it gets a grip on our kids. DARE America Mrs. Moore's class graduated 25 D.A.R.E. students.
