Tribe invites local students to free sealant clinic to help take care of teeth Feb. 15-17 • Siletz Community Health Clinic Siletz Valley School and the Siletz Clinic again are working together for the oral health improvement of children in the Siletz area. All children at SVS are invited to participate in this annual event, the first to be held at the new clinic on Gwee-Shut Road. The students who participate will have a screening, sealants, home care instructions and supplies, and a chance to see this wonderful new clinic. A letter to parents will be sent home with each student that will provide information on their child’s dental experience. Transportation will be provided to get students to the clinic and back to SVS. Only one item of paper is required, a signed parental consent form (which includes a health history section). Most parents had an opportunity to fill this out when registering their children for the school year last August. If you need to complete this form, one can be obtained at the SVS business office. The completed form must be back in the SVS office by Feb. 11. Students who participate in this clinic will have their name added into a drawing to win one of three kids Sonicare tooth brushes or one of three spin brushes. The drawing will be held Feb. 18 after the three-day clinic has been completed. If you have questions, please contact Judy Line at SVS, 541 -444-1100, or Mary Ellen Volansky at the Siletz Clinic, 541- 444-9640 or 800-648-0449, ext. 1640; or maryellenv@ctsi.nsn.us.

The OPEC oil embargo, related energy shortages and gas lines in the 1970s ... The president of the United States sit ting in a cardigan asking all Americans to turn down their thermostats and industries to run factories at partial capacity ... being somewhat less comfortable ... Sacrificing ... These are such graphic images of energy and national security in the Ameri can consciousness that they often are the first thoughts that come to mind when the words “energy conservation” are heard. But energy efficiency is a far cry from the energy conservation images and prac tices of old - of doing with less or doing without, of being uncomfortable or less comfortable. Not unlike the tremendous technological strides on computers, elec tronics and other fronts, energy efficiency takes advantage of advances in technol ogy to provide significantly better and smarter services. Energy efficiency means: • Using advanced and state-of-the-art technologies to provide better-quality energy services with less energy • • • • • Getting the most productivity from every unit of energy Getting the desired energy services - comfortable homes, profitable businesses, convenient transporta tion - with less energy use, less air pollution and lower total cost Using energy wisely Eliminating energy waste Using technology to easily re duce energy use without having to “remember” daily to do it yourself Energy efficiency is a valuable resource that creates a win-win solution on multiple fronts. One action = five major consumer and societal benefits. It saves consumers money, increases comfort, protects the environment, enhances the economy and promotes national security. When energy efficiency is combined with energy conservation - like turning off lights, TVs, computers and electron ics that you’re not using them - all of the benefits above are compounded.
