tioa Sando-Emhoolah worked in
radio in high school and college,
as well as at KWSO.
She said her interest in broad

child.

had an interest in writing," she
said. The family may not have
had a lot of money, "but books

Arizona tribes work to stem gaming addictions
PHOENIX (AP) - Indian
tribes want to curb the gambling
addictions of roughly six to eight
million Americans, who get their
fixes in reservation casinos,
tribal and industry leaders said.
"This was certainly encour
aging to hear," said Judith
Herriff, executive director of
the Michigan Association on
Problem Gambling.
Herriff was among many
treatment professionals and re
searchers who attended the 18th
annual conference on the Re
search, Prevention and Treat
ment of Problem Gambling on
Friday.
At the conference, which was
held at the Arizona Biltmore
Resort & Spa, tribal leaders
spoke about the latest research,
prevention and treatment for
problem gambling.
Mark Van Norman, execu
tive director of the National
Indian Gaming Association,
praised Arizona tribes for tak
ing a leadership role in attack
ing the issue.
Arizona gambling tribes have
contributed $.37.8 million of
their casino profits to the state,
of which $759,140 was allo
cated for problem gambling.
That money was thanks to one
year of revenue sharing under
Proposition 202, which was ap
proved by voters in 2002.
The money goes to the state
Department of Gaming, which
distributes the money to orga
nizations such as ACT Counsel
ing in Phoenix and Glendale.
The department and Arizona
tribes also agreed to allow prob
lem gamblers to exclude them
selves from the state's casinos.
After about a year, the list has
450 names on it, said depart
ment spokeswoman Christa
Severns.
The Arizona Lottery also is
contributing to the Department
of Gaming. It will contribute
$300,000 this fiscal year to go
toward problem gambling.
