The Vocational Rehabilitation
Program would like you to know that
October is National Disability
Employment Awareness Month. As
reported in the Peernet, about 54
million Americans (approximately 1
in 5) reported that they had some kind
of disability and 26 million of them
(1 in 10) said they had a severe
disability. 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.

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.

Officer Timothy Pike
WSPD
The Warm Springs Police De
partment would like to introduce to
the community of Warm Springs to
our newest police officer, Officer
Timothy Pike. 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.
