Opening eyes to gangs, drugs in Oneida The Oneida Police Department (OPD) gave a presentation on gang activity and drugs to community members at the Elderly Meal Site on Tuesday, May 29. Officer Matt Ninham, (standing, upper left), and Gang Task Force Coordinator Antonio Doxtator, (seat- ed far right), were on hand for the question and answer session follow- ing the presentation. Ninham led the talk with a video featuring photos of graffiti, drugs and weapons from Oneida and surrounding areas mixed with pictures area gang members have taken of themselves. According to Ninham, the gangs often adopt Native American sym- bols and subvert cultural ideas about family and traditions for their own ends. Ninham stated that community members need to be aware of the signs of gangs and drug use because the two go hand in hand. 2A (T#ken) • May 31, 2012 Local www.kalihwisaks.com Older American’s Month Profiles Danforth is now health focused as he ages Danforth moved to Currently, Danforth is in this case.

Question: How do I start receiving child support? A parent or caretaker can apply for services with the agency by phon- ing for an application or accessing it on our website at: http://www.oneidanation.org/uploadedFiles/Departments/Social_Serv ices/Child_Support/Application%20for%20Services(2).pdf

Question: My case is currently in another county in Wisconsin. Can I have it transferred to Oneida? Yes, cases can be transferred from another county if the parties in the case meet the jurisdictional laws to have the case with Oneida Child Support. Contact the agency to discuss the transfer process.

Question: What happens after the referral or application? How long will it take to start seeing child support payments? After a referral or application for services is sent, the case will be del- egated to the appropriate case manager in one of our four stratified areas: paternity, enforcement, interstate, or sub-care case manage- ment. A case manager will then contact you to follow up with the referral or application. The time from referral or application to the start of child support payments can be somewhere between two-three months. If you receive any certified mail, be sure to pick it up right away to avoid any delay in the child support process.

Upcoming Events and Updates: • See us at Oneida Community Fest from Noon-3:00pm for informa- tion and questions. • The start of the Outagamie County transfer process was initiated in May 2012. Call 920-490-3700 and ask for Michelle with any ques- tions regarding the transfer. • Please keep address and contact information current with the agency in order to avoid any delay in the transfer. 6A (Y@=yahk) • May 31, 2012 Local www.kalihwisaks.com
