Surprising as it may seem, Warm Springs does have a Dog Control Ordinance. The ordinance was passed in 1962 and is known as Ordinance 36. The ordinance provides for the licensing of dogs, control and de struction of unwanted dogs, and pen alties for violations of the ordinance. The ordinance requires that dogs kept, harbored, or maintained within the boundaries of the reservation be licensed on or before May 1 of every year. Dogs over six months of age must be licensed. The only dogs that are exempt from the licensing re quirement are "seeing eye" or "guide" dogs and non-residents that are tem porarily visiting the Reservation. Failure to license the dog will be considered abandonment of the dog by the owner. Currently, there are only seventy-one (71) licensed dogs on the Reservation. Before dogs can be licensed, the owner must show proof that the ani mal has a current rabies vaccination. The Warm Springs Environmental Health department currently has an animal certificate program that al lows owners to obtain a vaccination series for just $5. The certificates may be obtained by stopping by the Sanitarian's office in the Warm Springs Health and Wellness Center or by calling 553-4943. Owners are also required to pro vide their dogs with a substantial collar or harness to which the license and rabies vaccination tag is attached. This collar must be worn whenever the dog is "at large" or "running loose. Female dogs in heat, fierce or vicious dogs, or dogs that become a nuisance to others when they are walking along the streets are now allowed to run "at large" regardless of whether they are licensed or unli censed. Dogs that have bitten a person are required to be confined in an en closed or by a substantial chain by the owner for a period of ten (10) days. If the owner fails to confine the dog, any tribal officer ca have the dog removed from the owner's property and taken to a veterinary hospital for observation. The owner is required to reimburse the tribes for this expense.' ,'. ; Dogs in violation of this ordi nance can be impounded by any Tribal Police officer or person ap pointed for this purpose. Dogs will be held for a period of five (5) days and if not claimed, destroyed. Persons found in violation of this ordinance are guilty of a misde meanor is if convicted, assessed a fine or imprisonment. The Environmental Health Pro gram also issues certificates for re duced spray or neutering services. Female dogs can be sprayed for a $ 1 5 and female cats for $10. Male dogs can be neutered for $ 1 0 and male cats can be neutered for $5. Few people i seem to be aware of Ordinance 36 and most Warm Springs residents agree that we have a dog control problem. Perhaps if we all did our part to live up to the ordinance we have in place and to participate in the programs that are available, some of the problems would be taken care of. Seatbelt Usage Rates Congratulations to the Warm Springs community for taking steps to improve the health and safety of your members ! When I came to Warm Springs community in August 1991, the seatbelt usage rates were about 10. The Tribal safety Committee tried in 1993 to pass a seat belt or dinance but were told to do commu nity education. In April 1999 after six years of education activities, our usage rates were still only about 1 3. The Tribal Council recognized that education alone was not bring ing the seat belt and child restraint ordinance in October. The law went into effect in April of 2000. Between October , 1999 and April, 2000 the seat belt usage rates went from 13 to 33. The police decided to give a 60-day warning period and in July, 2000 the usage rates were 53. Imagine what the usage rates will be once enforcement really begins! We could be a leader in the state. Of course the most important reason to wear your seat belt is because it will save your life and ultimately this is evervones goal.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30, 2000-Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman announced today that start ing September 1, USDA will begin making $5.5 billion in supple mental payments to about 1.4 mil lion producers. "These payments, part of a $7.1 billion relief package, will help our Nation's farmers weather these difficult times," said Glickman. "Even with these payments, and other assistance USDA is providing, there remain serious, long-term, structural problems in American agriculture. The Clinton-Gore Administration has repeatedly said that the 1996 Farm Bill does too little to help farmers during bad times. The pain felt in farm country today is evidence that the 1996 Farm Bill is fundamentally in adequate and a stronger farm safety net is desperately needed." USDA's Commodity Credit Corpo ration will issue payments to those farmers who received a final fiscal year 2000 Production Flexibility Con tract (PFC) payment; sometimes called Agricultural Market Transition Act payments or AMTA payments. These payments will be automatically paid to eligible farmers, who will not have to file any forms or visit any offices.
