Home remedies often prove worthless
C
Whenever I came down with
a cold or flu when I was a child,
my mother always had an arsenal
of things that were sure to help
me get well. Between her alcohol
rub-downs, bowls of jello, and
gallons of soup, I steadily became
well again. Even though I knew
that I would have gotten well
again anyway, all those things
sure made me feel good at the
time.
There seems to be a few home
cures around for toothaches and
gum problems as well. A lot of
them are actually very beneficial,
such as using salt water rinses
when gums are sore. Unfortu
nately, I've recently come across
a few "remedies" that are not
only worthless, but dangerous.
For example, putting an aspirin
tablet on the gums next to a

Church gains new
Rick Ribeiro is the "new kid
on the block" as the newest
minister of the Warm Springs
Presbyterian Church. Pastor
Rick, as he likes to be called,
came to Warm Springs in early
January from Metlakatla, Alaska.
Ribeiro, his wife Carolyn and
their two year old daughter Sarah,
spent their first week or so in
Warm Springs unpacking and
getting organized. Between bouts
with a cold and the flu, time has
also been spent meeting commu
nity members and service organi
zations. Ribeiro has a BS in criminolo

tooth that is hurting. For some
people, this seems like a logical
way to bring the pain-killing
powers of an aspirin right to the
source of the ache. Sounds good,
but it isn't! Aspirin really is a
strong chemical that can actually
burn your gums. The burns
looks like a white patch of dead
tissue in your mouth. Actually,
it's best not to hold any typ of
chemical in your mouth for
more than a few seconds, unless
your under a doctor's order.
(Are you listening allyou tobacco
chewers!)
There really aren't too many
home remedies for toothaches.
Sooner or later, a trip to the
dentist is the only thing that will
get rid of the pain. The same is
true for a lot of gum-related
problems. Things like canker
sores, fever blisters and cold
sores eventually go away by
themselves. However, problems
related to gum disease and neg
lect can only be soothed tempora
rily. Again, a trip to your dentist
is in order.
There's another dangerous prac
tice going around in the world
of self-treatment. Sometimes
people who are given antibiotics
like Penicillin and told to take it
Departments commended
Three of 44 departments have
responded to the Summer Youth
training site requests sent out
by Margie Earl of the Summer
Youth Operations. Earl com
mends Harold White of Utilities,
Rico Thompson of IHS Mainte
nance and Wilson Wewa of the
Senior Citizen's Program.
Inaddition, Earl reminds depart
ment heads that she can guaran
tee interviews for those requests
which are received by her depart
ment by March 12. Students
between the ages of 14 and 17
must have a work permit prior
to applying. Those applications
are available at the Office of
Training Services. Also, depart
ments interested in high school
students for summer employment
are urged to contact the OTS
office at extension 298, 299.
Monthly blood pressure check
Those wishing to have their
blood pressure checked should
gy with emphasis on criminalis
tics. While working in a police
lab in Longbeach, California,
he and his wife became involved
with a Presbyterian Church there.
Ribeiro spent time working with
youth groups, Bible study and
prison ministry. One day, he
came home from work and told
his wife he wanted to enter the
seminary. In the fall of 1977,
Ribeiro entered seminary. Four
years later, with his Masters of
Divinity in hand, Ribeiro and
his wife were headed to
Metlakatla.
Ribeiro explained that

for seven days, will take it for
five or six days, feel better, and
then keep the rest until the next
time they think they need it.
Sounds good, right? Wrong. It's
not a very good idea at all. If
only half of the medication is
taken, only the weakest strains
of the bacteria that make you
sick are killed off. The stronger
strains stay on and some of
them start to get resistant to
Penicillin. If this happens to
you, you may end up with an
infection, such as an abcessed
tooth, that Penicillin won't be
able to touch. Also, people tend
to treat things like colds, flu,
and sore throats with Penicillin.
All those things are usually condi
tions caused by a virus. Penicillin
won't help those at all. Penicillin
is for bacterial infections and
even then, some bacteria respond
better to other medications. It's
quite a guessing game for anyone
who isn't trained to tell the
difference.
I guess it's better if we stick to
hot soup, orange juice and lots
of hugs to get ourselves and our
children through life's little snif
fles. They may not get you well
any quicker, but they sure make
for happy memories.

minister -
Metlakatla is located on 150
square mile Annette Island and
is the southern most community
in Alaska located below
Ketchikan. The reservation was
formed in the late 1800s and is
"closed", meaning that in order
to reside there, a resident permit
is necessary. The average tempera
ture is 41 degrees with 100 to
130 inches of rain a year. "It's
very windy," said Ribeiro. The
wind would blow 70 miles an
hour with gusts up to 100 miles
an hour. Their house would
"sway with the winds."

Light bills high? Here's help
Are you and your family one
of the many that were faced
with a huge light bill for the last
two months? If you were, then
you were not alone. For many
people it was not an easy job
coming up with enough money
to pay the bill so they would not
have their electricity turned off.

Homes needed
Shelter and Foster homes for
small children and adolescents
are needed right now. There are
some young people, who for
various reasons cannot return
to their own family home, and
need a loving home to help
them through a difficult period
in their life.
Please contact Youth Services
as soon as possible, come into
our office or make an appoint
ment with one of our counselors
to meet you, and to explain
about foster planning. Phone:

as minister there, Pastor Rick
saw the Metlakatla congregation
grown from 45 to 151 people
and regular church attendance,
at his departure, was 120. The
church was founded in 1 920 as a
spinoff of the Duncan Church.
The Metlakatla church was consi
dered a primary "service church,"
providing services such as food
for the needy and wood for the
senior citizens, "even though
other churches provided the same
services."
Ribeiro is looking forward to
working in Warm Springs and
ministering at the Presbyterian
church. His philosophy about a
successful church is, "successful
churches have a good sense of
their own identity and purpose.
They know what to do and how
to do it." Also, he says, "for
anything to happen here, there
has to be a long-term minister:
