No student may be on the honor roll with an I (incomplete) grade. -4.00 Drawing his way into their hearts and minds with his cartoons and message of positive thinking. Quick Draw Charlie kept Warm Springs Elementary students enthralled. His message was clear. " It's what we do with what we have" that's important. If we try our best and give our best we should be happy with who we are. Sponsored by the American Cancer Society Charlie Gorsuch has been on the road for seven years delivering his good feeling message. Usually working in schools and sponsored by Fred Meyer to keep students in a positive frame of mine, he sometimes volunteers his time to the American Cancer Soc iety. He then, also includes a pitch to students about the importance of saying "no" to tobacco. As a child, explains Gorsuch, he had his own self-esteem problem. The 6'3", 270 pound Gorsuch had hoped to be an athlete. An early injury left him without one hip. While recovering in the hospital in a body cast the down-hearted Gorsuch picked up some pencils and learned to draw. His self-esteem problems, how ever, had just started. Unable to compete athletically, he tried busi ness and was always "trying to prove myself, " he says. He always compared himself to his successful brothers and found fault with himself. Eight years ago Gorsuch ended up in the hospital agains. This time he was told he was going to die of cancer. He refused to accept that. In 1981 he served as ambassador" for the Oregon State Fair. He also decided to do what he liked best draw. Gorsuch designed a program for schools and was given funding by the Portland chain to do it. Since then he has been working with youth to help them increase their own self-esteem. He gets to approximately 150 schools each year and works with all grade levels. His favorite grade level, though, is elementary. This is where Gorsuch feels self-esteem promotion needs to begin. "Posi tive choice making begins at a young age.' he says. It is at that time that students must learn to be responsible and to be "their own best friend." Gorsuch says he isn't the best artist in the world but he is a posi tive support person. Now he says about his life. "I wouldn't trade places with anybody. Everything has been a growing experience." 1. 7 J 7 t L. -"" !

Oral evaluations given f- f - " -; 1 r Students at Warm Springs Ele mentary were given oral health sta tus evaluations April 25-28 by Dr. Toothacher and oral epidemiolo gist Kathy Phipps, both from the Portland Area Office. The evaluation determines if a sealant should be applied to the teeth to protect the chewing parts from cavities, just as fluoride pro tects the whole tooth. This does not mean that the toothbrush can be stored away as brushing is just as necessary now as ever. Dr. Dexter and Sharon Miller continued with the regular dental patients in the clinic, while Orpha Bluehouse helped at the grade school gym with the screening program. Appointment confirmations, or reminders, are made on the phone the same date as your scheduled appointment date. It helps a great M deal for the patient's phone and address to be updated on the com puter. Please do that when you next come in so that we can reach you at your current number. This will cut down on missed appointments. Kiasrf-:,"Hff'K - ........ ....... u-bubtv t j K J U i i ; J w. i v . ! : -;tvv' ' : M J ili' ---, ! .1 f I .
