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

Energy conservation vs. energy efficiency: Both save, so what’s the difference?
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.
