Northwest tribe displays artifacts loaned from London Artifacts hidden nearly 120 years By GILLIAN FLACCUS Associated Press GRAND RONDE — Tribal artifacts that have been hidden away in the archives of the British Museum in London for nearly 120 years are being returned to a Native American tribe for an exhibit at its own museum — a facility the tribe expanded and upgraded in part to reclaim these pieces central to its complicated heritage. The 16 objects will go on display on a small Oregon res- ervation after a decadeslong campaign by the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde to bring them back from Europe. The intricate bowls, woven baskets and other pieces were collected by the Rev. Rob- ert W. Summers, an Episco- pal minister who bought them from destitute tribal members in the 1870s and sold them to a colleague. The colleague later gifted the objects to the British institution. The “Rise of the Collec- tors “ exhibit, on display at the Chachalu Tribal Museum & Cultural Center in Grand Ronde, also includes basketry collected by Dr. Andrew Ker- shaw, who worked on the res- ervation in the 1890s as a doc- tor and agent for the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs. Together, the two collec- tions are part of a larger plan by the Grand Ronde to reclaim and examine its history for future generations — a mis- sion that echoes efforts by other tribes around the U.S. Two years ago, a Parisian auc- tion house withdrew a cere- monial shield from an auction after the Acoma Pueblo, a tribe in rural New Mexico, moved to halt its sale. And tribes from Alaska to Connecticut have used a U.S. law passed in 1990 to reclaim Native American remains and sacred or funer- ary objects. The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde wanted the objects back permanently but worked out an initial year- long loan because a full return of items from the British Museum requires parliamen- tary action, said David Harrel- son, manager of the tribe’s cul- tural resources department. The tribe never made a formal request to have the objects repatriated and instead chose to work with the Euro- pean institution. The tempo- rary exhibit is regarded as a first step to more collaboration between the Grand Ronde and the British Museum. “It’s a real privilege to be a part of this, where this material heritage is coming back to this community,” said Amber Lin- coln, curator of the Americas section of the British Museum. She and a colleague traveled to Oregon with the objects. “This is what we work for, to bring people together … so that we all learn.” Q: Muscle spasms can be a thing of the past. horses in the leg,facial tics A: Charlie and back spasms are all deficiency ASTORIA CHIROPRACTIC Barry Sears, D.C. 503-325-3311 2935 Marine Drive Astoria, Oregon symptoms — muscles are irritated and working too hard — they don’t have the nutrients they need. Muscles need calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D taken together. Seventy-six percent of Americans are deficient in those nutrients. People may be OK until an injury when the increased activity in the hurt area causes the deficiency symptoms. It is easy and quick to correct.

Seaside kidnap suspect pleads not guilty heard the term “new Q: I’ve traditions” used in commercials I have the power to create By JACK HEFFERNAN The Daily Astorian A Seaside man pleaded not guilty Tuesday to a kidnapping charge stemming from a police chase last week. Timothy Jerome Licari, 32, was arrested in May after he allegedly stole someone’s car and drove away from police with the person still inside. He was indicted last week on charges of second-degree kidnapping, coer- cion, unauthorized use of a vehi- cle, two counts of attempting to elude and reckless driving. The kidnapping charge car- ries a minimum of roughly six years in prison if Licari is convicted. If convicted of all charges, he faces a maximum of 27 years. Licari is scheduled for another court hearing later this month. Bail has been set at $250,000. without any explanation of what they are. Can you please enlighten us as to what they are referring to? A: An excellent question! Since the goal of advertising is to identify, associate, and John R. Alcantara - Funeral Director represent something of value, the only thing that makes sense, (from a professional perspective) is that it’s a way to differentiate a storefront funeral provider (which is essentially an office & sometimes a showroom) from a traditional funeral home/ mortuary. This model began a couple of decades ago, as an alternative for those who were looking for direct cremation (without a funeral service) whereby the majority of work is done by 3rd party contractors (sometimes in other cities & states) . However, just as advertising advocates association & representation as axioms of a model that satisfy individual expectations within a given criteria this model misrepresents if it Astoria: 576 12th St. asserts it does.

LEINASSAR DMD, FAGD State tracks food stamp fraud 503/325-0310 1414 MARINE DRIVE, ASTORIA www.smileastoria.com Capital Bureau SALEM — State auditors touted their work investigating food stamp fraud on Tuesday. They say their efforts resulted in convictions for five mer- chants committing food stamp fraud; $1.7 million in avoided future costs; and $525,000 in court-ordered restitution. Forty recipients received a yearlong ban, and 59 peo- ple were banned from the pro- gram permanently as a result of auditors’ efforts, they say. Since 2013, auditors have been using new data analyt- ics techniques and mapping software to identify merchants with a high risk of fraud. AP Photo/Gillian Flaccus A spear head collected by the Rev.

Just like a leg in a cast for several months getting no stimulation, then removing the cast and seeing a withered leg, the dental jaw bone is stimulated by the function of the teeth and the forces of chewing. When teeth are removed this stimulation is lost and for many denture wearers the bone will shrink resulting in a change of bone volume and a stable denture fit. If your situation does require loss of teeth or you now have dentures ask about dental implants which can help support dentures and minimize loss of bone volume.
