More than half the Americans with a severe disability were between the ages of 22 and 64. In 1945, Congress designated the first week in October as "National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week." In 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed its name to "National Disability Employment Awareness Month." This year's theme is "Think Ability". The following are just some of the disability types the Warm Springs VR Program recognizes: alcohol abusedependency, allergies, arthritis, asthma, burns, cardiovascular disorders, carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetes, eating disorders, hearing impairments, HIV AIDS, back pain, multiple sclerosis, obesity, renal-kidney disease, respiratory disorders, seizure disorder (epilepsy), traumatic brain injury, and visual impairments. Please understand that disability types are not defined by the Warm Springs VR Program. Disabilities are determined by the State Vocational Rehabilitation Division and the U.S. Department of Education, office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services. Since 1992, more than 500 people have sought services from the program. Vocational Rehabilitation orientations are held every Monday at 3:00 p.m. Please join us for more information.

On Patrol -- Volunteers needed in Central Oregon SMART (Start Making A Reader Today) will again begin its tenth year in .Central Oregon in the fall of 2000. SMART provides trained volunteers and new books to children in kindergarten, first and second grades, and will now serve third graders. The SMART program is sponsored by local businesses, foundations and service organizations. The goals of the program are to help get children to grade level by the time they leave elementary school, which will increase the number of children graduating from high school. There are 23 SMART schools in Central Oregon's three counties this year. Our goal is to read to 25 of the kindergarten, first, second and third graders. We will need approximately 1,450 volunteers to read to all of the eligible children. The benefits of SMART include students coming to school more often, improved student self-esteem, high student reading assessments and volunteers returning to work more productive. We need volunteers who can give an hour a week and want to make a difference in the life of a child. Call your local school or the Central Oregon SMART office at 383-6466.

Oiiicer Pike was born in St. Petersburg, FL. His grandfa ther was born and adopted off the Rosebud Reservation. He is of the Blackfoot Teton and Oglalla Souix blood. Officer Pike and wife C. Raeanne have four children and four grandchildren. Officer Pike served in the U.S. Air Force as a Security Specialist. He has ten years of Law Enforcement experience in Oregon with over 1300 DPSST certified training hours. He is a certified Firearms Instructor, as well as ASP Baton and Chemical Agents Instructor. Before coming to Warm Springs he formally worked for the Lakeview P.D. as a Sergeant, Toledo P.D. as a Patrol Officer, and also at Florence P.D. as a Reserve Police Officer. As a Police Officer he is a firm believer in getting to know the people in the community. Not just names and faces, but their interests and con cerns. This will allow him to work more effectively to resolve problems within the community. Physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, elder abuse, spouse abuse, animal cruelty, and child abuse w ere some of the main topics dis cussed during the third annual "Van ishing the Anger III: Healing the Gen erations Conference." The confer ence was held October 1 1 -1 3, at Kah-Nee-Ta Vacation Resort with over 100 participants attending. The Vic tims of Crime Services (VOCS), in conjunction with The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs of Oregon and Warm Springs Indian Health Ser vices (I.H.S.), hosted the conference. Because many survivors grew up in homes where abuse was the norm, they often have a hard time identify ing and acknowledging abuse in their own lives. If you or anyone you know experienced any type of abuse, please contact the VOCS offices at ext. 2293. The Warm Springs Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) would like to invite and encourage community members to participate in the upcoming Citizens Police Acad emy Classes. Classes started Tues day, October 1 7, from 6-9 p.m., at the I.H.S. Clinic, Atrium Room. The classes will continue thru the month of November. For more information contact the COPS office at ext. 2283. Classes will be limited to fifteen par ticipants due to facility size and ma terials to be covered. This program is intended to teach the community member working insights into what the police do, and why. Each class session will be 3 hours long and will be presented by two to three mem bers of the police department, pros ecution, or VOCS. A note for parents, if you have children attending the football games at the High School you should know that your children will not be allowed to loiter out in the parking lot or to run around the area. The school has regulations which require that any children in attendance must be there for the game, and actively watching the game. If your children are not watching the game, hanging around the parking lots or the immediate area they will be asked to leave by the School Resources Officers or School staff. This policy was put in place by the school to prevent acts of van dalism, fights or other types of prob lems from occurring. And also please remember, once a person is asked to leave a premises, if they do not leave they may be cited for Criminal Tres pass. At the recent Home Coming Game there were a number of chil dren asked to leave just because of this school policy. The Police Department has added a new young face (not really new to Public Safety) who will be in an apprentice training program. Levi Dowty, who is presently working with Community Policing, and will be working with the different divi sions of the department during the interim of the program. The program is intended to give Levi a foundation for a career in law enforcement. Also there was recently question about another young member of our com munity policing division who has been with us this summer. This is Marie Kalama. Marie has been work ing in a part time position as secre tary for the School Analysis Project ( a grant funded program) done by Russell Graham.
