PSu OFyn OR SiAlo muniie
Studying tribal communities

SIGHT SPEECH H

Sandra Momper, associate
professor ofsocial work,specializes
in research on gambling, substance
abuse and mental health in the
American Indian community.
Momper's research from the past
few years centers on OxyContin
abuse and its effects on the tribal
community, healthcare access, and
the association of gambling with
substance abuse, depression and
criminal history.
What inspired you to pursue
your field of study?
My mother's side grew up on
Bad River Indian Reservation in
Wisconsin, and I grew up there as
a young child, so that's what led

me to this area of interest.
Describe an interesting or
memorable experience
from your research.
During my dissertation study,
there was a study on gambling
and families, and it was a mixed-
method study, so I used qualita-
tive and quantitative data. With
the quantitative data, there was
an interview with 20 women
from the Indian reservation.
Many of them stated that finally,
there were researchers whoasked
them for their opinion, and that
was one of my most memorable
moments, recognizingthat it was
about time that people started

asking Indian people what their
opinion is in terms of what sort of
services they might need.
What project are
you proudest of?
I think the suicide prevention
project because one of the . out-
comes of that project is that the
American Indian community is
more aware of the high suicide
rates, but they're also not feeling
like it's such a stigma to talk about
mental health and suicide. As a
result of the screenings and the
training that we've done, they're
much more apt to discuss and
even say the word suicide.

an end to the shelling of towns
where militants are suspected of

since the aerial campaign began
on Aug. 8.
Backed by the U.S. airstrikes,
Iraqi and Kurdish security forces
have retaken the strategic Mosul
Dam and several small towns.
However, serious challenges
remain since many Islamic State
fighters are operating from cities
with large civilian populations,
such as Fallujah and Mosul.
In northern Iraq, meanwhile,
the U.S. and its allies began
training Kurdish peshmerga
forces to enhance their ability to
fight the Sunni extremists.
Helgurd Hikmet, general
director of the ministry over-
seeing the Kurdish forces, said
that France, Italy and Germany
were among countries provid-
ing training in the use of the new
machine guns, mortars, rockets
and demining robots the Kurd-
ish fighters have received.
The U.S. forces are part of
the advise-and-assist teams that
have been in Irbil, the provincial
capital of the semi-autonomous
Iraqi Kurdish region, for several
weeks. The U.S. has also provid-
ed equipment against roadside
bombs and other sophisticated
artillery to the Kurdish fighters.
Last week, the French joined
in the aerial campaign, and a
number of European countries
have committed to arming the
Kurds and providing humani-
tarian support for more than a
million people displaced by the
onslaught of the Islamic State
group.

Zemke was appointed to the
Society of Automotive Engi-

ary 2014, which aims to increase
the number of students in STEM
fields. He also sponsored a bill in
June that will ease the formation
of district libraries.
"Don't let anybody ever tell
you that there's not money for
something, because there is
always money," he said. "It's just
that somebody wants to spend it
on somethingelse."
Right to work: He is against
the right to work legislation
that passed in 2012, which out-
lawed the requirement of union
membership in jobs that once
required it.
"That is essentially creating
an uneven playing field," Zemke
said. "You are telling people that
it is okay for them not to pay for
services from an organization
but yet that organization still has
to provide the services to you.
That is baffling."
Women's rights: He is pro-
choice and supports equal pay.
"Allowing pay discrimination
in Michigan is going against tal-
ent attraction and retention,"
Zemke said. "By not support-
ing those policies, basically they
are deterring folks from coming
here, which makes no sense to
me at all.
In May 2013, Zemke sup-
ported a package of bills that
would promote women's health.
Included in this package were
bills promoting prevention,
treatment and research of wom-
en's diseases, a requirement that
all health facilities offer emer-
gency contraception to rape
survivors and additional efforts
to improve sexual education in
public schools.
Where he wants to invest:
Transportation, Medicare,
autism and mental health treat-
ment,greenindustry,urbanrevi-
talization, and education.
