Early Head Start news update-
To all EHS Staff and Families,
Congratulations! WE have just com

vices to children and families here in
Warm Springs. We would like to
congratulate all who have partici
pated in EHS throughout the
1999-2000 year. Thank you for be
ing a part of EHS and we look for
ward to serving you again, in 2001.
Picture Pay at ECU
September 1 1 , 1 2, & 1 3. If inter
ested, please let your home visitor
now orcall 553-3241 for information
on rates packages, and times.
We t ill miss ion!
We have 5 children from EHS
who arc moving on into Head Start.
We wish them continued success:
Trevor Rodrigucs, Jovon I leath, Alias
Charley, Benjamin Charley and
Austin Dodge.
The first 20 minutes of group time
are free play, a time for you and your
child to play together. Next, every
one gets in a circle to listen to a story
and sing songs. After circle time, we
all line up and wash hands, and then
we sit down together for a meal.
After finishing lunch and brush
ing teeth, children participate in art
projects sensory activities, and ex
plore the classroom. While the chil
dren and home visitors play, you will
get helpful parenting information and
ideas for fun family activities. We
hope that you will let us know what
kinds of topics you would like us to
discuss in parent time and what would
make this time more valuable to you.
In August, we read "When you
Give a Mouse a Cookie", sang "The
Wheels on the Bus Go Round and
Round", played "Willaby Wallaby"
and puppet peek-a-boo. The dads did
feather and tissue paper art, and
parents watched a video on infant
massage, heard presentations by Dr.
Mendoa and Juanita Simpson on
preventative dental care, and learned
about the HELP assessment.
In September, we will continue
reading "When You Give a Mouse a
Cookie" and sing lots of fun songs.
The kids will make texture books
and play with squishy bags, and
parents will talk about a variety of
topics, including stress management
organization, temperament and more.

new teeth emerging through the
gums. Typically, teething begins at
around 6 months of age (it an begin
sooner) and continues until a child is
around three years of age. Around
the age of six, kids usually begin
losing their baby teeth as their per
manent teeth push up through the
gums.
Signs that may indicate your baby
is teething include: 1) Drooling 2)
Gumming toys or other objects 3)
Swollen, red gums 4) Irritability 5)
Difficulty sleeping and 6) Crying
more than usual.
Some wavs to help case the pain
of teething are: 1) Rubbing your
child's gums with your finger (re
member to wash your hands thor
oughly first). 2) Offering your baby
achilled teething ring, a clean frozen
washcloth or teething biscuits. 3)
Applying Orajcl to baby's sore gums.
4) Giving your baby ibuprofen
(children's motrin)or acetaminophen
(children's Tylenol).

F. Y, I. (For Your Information
Hand washing is one of the most
important thing that everyone can do
to prevent disease.
Cigarette smoke contains 43
chemicals which are known to cause
cancer. Exposure to cigarette smoke
dramatically increases achilds's risk
of car infections, asthma and other
lung diseases, SID (Sudden Infant
Death Syndrome), and may other
health problems.
Studies show that holding and
cuddling your baby helps to ease her
pain when she doesn't feel well,
It is a fact that long finger nails
(real or fake are a nice place for
dangerous germs to live. So, keeping
your nails short helps to keep you
and your children healthy.
Zinc oxide ointment, which is
commonly used for diaper rash, is an
excellent skin soother and protectant
for people of all ages.
Allergies are a malfunction of a
person's immune response. To pre
vent food allergies, you should not
begin introducing foods to your chil
dren until he is about six months old.
Generally, you should introduce
toods to your baby in this order:
mlant cereal, vegetables, fruits (ex
cept citrus and strawberries), and save
meat for last. For details, please con
tact the Nutrition Department at the
Health and Wellness Center.
Statistics show that children who
are breastfed are generally healthier
and smarter than children who
weren't breastfed.
Proper use of seatbelts and
carseats save lives, can prevent se
rious injuries, and is required by

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.

USDA to provide $5.5 Billion in
supplemental AMTA payments
Dog Vaccination Clinic
September 27, 1-4:00 p.m., 6-8:00 p.m.
September 28, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Location to be announced.
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.
