FOSTER
Fisher has been a foster care licensor for eight years.
Foster Care is a supportive service available to families experiencing
problems and is considered after all other alternatives for a child's safety
are explored.
"'Foster parenting is rewarding but also difficult," said Fisher.
Foster parents must be willing to work as a part of the Children and
Family Team that includes a willingness to work with the child's par-
ants.
A federal (FBI) background check on all adults living in the prospec-
tive tbster home also needs to be completed.
Completion of PRIDE training mad Fire Safety must be completed
prior to licensure. Foster parents are also required to complete 12 hours
of training each and every year of licensure.
Prospective foster parents must be at least 21 years of age. If married.
have a stable marital relationship and married for at least one year and be
financially stable whether married or single.
Foster parents do receive a maintenance payment for the care of a
CARE MEETING FROM PAGE 1
child and the amount depends on the child's age. As a licensed tbster
home, foster parents have a choice in taking a child who needs place-
ment at any time.
"'Foster parents provide a nurturing and secure environment for a child
until the child is able to return home." said Fisher.
The length of a child's tbster care placement varies. Statistically, the
average length of stay for children in care as of Sept. 30, 2011, was 13.2
months.
According to the North Dakota Department of Human Services, Di-
vision of Children and Family Services, there were 401 licensed family
foster homes and 360 licensed therapeutic family foster homes in Sept.
2010.
"Foster parents are just ordinary people who do extraordinary things
by opening their hearts and homes to children in need?' added Fisher.
If you are interested in looking into foster parenting or adoption and
you cannot make this meeting, please call Rachel Fisher. LSW - Walsh

Regional DUI Task Force shows encouraging second quarter
GRAFTON. N.D. The
Northeast Grand Forks Regional
DU1 Task Force participated in the
Regional DUI Task Force proam
in North Dakota. They made
thirteen driving under the influence
arrests. 145 other significant
arrests/citations mad made a total of
129 enforcement contacts during
the recent unified saturation patrol
effort. This task force began on
October 1, 2010 in order to take
significant steps towards reducing
alcohol-related crashes and
fatalities across the state.
In the Northeast Grand Forks
Region, eight law enforcement
agencies participated in the second
quarter of this program. By
working together to create high
visibility enforcement, early results
show a positive impact on
deterring motorists from drinking
and driving. During the second
quarter enforcement period, which
was conducted from March 16-24,
2012, there were zero crashes and
zero impaired driving fatalities in
the region. These statistics
emphasize the importance of
enforcement and saturation patrols
in protecting motorists on North
Dakota's roadways.
Eighty-three percent of all law
enforcement agencies currently
participate in the DUI Task Force
across North Dakota. This program
is intended to save lives by
reducing alcohol-related fatalities
and car crashes.
