N/NE Community
Mental Health Center
Gets $613,700 Loan
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has autho­
rized a $613,700 loan to N/NE Community Mental Health Center for con­
struction of a sixteen unit apartment complex in North or Northeast Port­
land. It will provide independent living accomodations for chronic mentally
ill persons from that area of Portland. The proposed project will provide
long term, low income housing for clients from the N/NE Agency. It is a
much needed resource for the community.
Housing for the mentally ill is a critical need, says Dr. Liam Callen,
N/NE Agency Director. Such individuals often end up homeless or in sub­
standard housing due to their poverty and inability to arrange independent
living. Many individuals can regain health and well-being if appropriate
housing can be found.
The proposed apartment complex will consist of fifteen one-bedroom
apartments and one two-bedroom apartment for the resident manager.
The building will be wood frame construction with a two-story walk-up
design. The site has not yet been chosen.
The project was initiated under the leadership of Dr. Ozodi Osuji, Asso­
ciate Director of the Agency. A new, non-profit corporation and commu­
nity Board of Directors has been formed under the name N/NE Alternative
Mental Health Housing, Inc. The Rev. James Faulkner is President of the
Board. Additional Board members are being solicited at this time.
New Pastor at M aranatha
On Sunday, October 25, 1987, Glandion W. Carney will be installed as

u < z» •
Dr. George McKinney, Pastor of the St. Stephen s Church of God in
Christ, San Diego, California; and Bishop of the Second Ecclesiastical
Jurisdiction of Southern California for the Church of God in Christ will be

Carney comes from a rich and varied background of urban work and
evangelism. Previously, he was Director of Christian Leadership Develop-
ment for World Vision. He has directed inner-city ministries for a variety of
organizations including Youth for Christ International and served as pastor

Chairperson for Leadership '88, a conference to be held in June 1988. This
conference is a significant one with the purpose of spotlighting emerging
Christian leaders across the United States. His personal experiences have
formed the basis for his book, "Creative Urban Youth Ministry ' and he is at
work on a devotional book focusing on the inner life of the Christian leader.

In the last issue, I talked about gum disease, indicating that 70% of all
tooth loss in adults can be attributed to it. How to protect youself? That is
the question I want to attempt to answer in this column.
As I said before, the formation of plaque and the bacteria it contains
is again the culprit here. One must develop health, consistent oral hygiene
habits, removing that plaque each day by thorough cleaning of the teeth
and gum line. The problem is, however, that your toothbrush cannot clean
between the teeth, so flossing is essential. It helps remove the plaque.
Wrap the floss around one of your middle fingers and slide the floss bet­
ween each tooth in a gently back and forth motion. Put it around each
tooth, scraping as you go.- You may also want to try a mouthwash that
contains achemical that will inhibit bacterial growth.
Here are some symptoms to watch for. If any occur, see your dentist,
because gum disease is progressive, and the earlier you take action, the
