better within 1 week. The cough of
acute bronchitis usually lasts from 1
to 3 weeks.
Is there any reason to prescribe
antibiotics for acute bronchitis?
If you do not have lung disease or
immune problems, studies have
shown no benefit of taking antibiot
ics for acute bronchitis. Antibiotics
do not help how bad or how long you
have symptoms. Antibiotics do not
prevent pneumonia, sinus, or ear in
fections in healthy patients with acute
bronchitis.
Why did I get better last time I
used antibiotics for bronchitis?
If you have bronchitis, you will
get better regardless of antibiotic use.
Sometimes bronchitis may last only
1 week, other times it may last up to
3 weeks.
Why were they given to me for
acute bronchitis in the past?
We used to think that antibiotics

Coordinator position left vacant by
Myra Shawaway was appointed the,
Culture and Heritage Director. -
Tribal member Jeanne Thomas
accepted the Language Coordinator
position and reported lor woric on
October 1. "I've been involved in
this field of work for years," Thomas
said. "I've decided to continue in this
field of work until the end of my
career." Thomas said she would
prefer to work with Culture and
Heritage and with the Native
American languages because this is
such a critical part for future gen
erations. Thomas is the daughter of the late
Frenchie Thomas and June Courville.
Thomas' parents met while attending
Chemawa Indian School. They were
both active in music and enjoyed
listening to classical music. Jeanne's
grandparents on her father's side were
the late Winnie Coon Thomas from
the Klickitat River area, and Elizabeth
Teaius, a Wasco Indian from Warm
Springs.

were unlikely to help, they were pre
scribed more freely. As a result of
this practice, some patients now ex

bronchitis. Some doctors say that
they prescribe antibiotics in response
to this pressure.
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria have
developed, in large part, because of
widespread use of antibiotics for ;
colds, bronchitis and other viral in-
fections.

your doctor to prescribe an antibiotic
for colds, flu and bronchitis, and by
giving you bodys immune system
enough time to clear the infection
naturally (2-3 weeks). Doctors must
prescribe antibiotics only for illnesses
that antibiotics can cure.

commenting on ner new position,
Jeanne said, "As the Program Coor-
dinator, it will be my responsibility
to assume some of the administrative
duties that the other staff members
have been active in." Thomas said
she will assist them in the arranging
of different programs so they can
recruit more people. "We will get
more public announcements out to
the community so they'll know when
and where language classes are being
offered." Jeanne mentioned that
teachers are being trained at the Early
Childhood Center to play a more
active roll than before.
According to Thomas, there are
many areas that are developing to
help meet the goals of the program.
Many language classes are held each
week, and the teachers are very busy
preparing their lesson plans. The
teachers are constantly increasing
their personal expertise so the lan
guage program can expand the kind
of instruction that is provided.

Insights for parents
Preparing for a parent-teacher
conference
; Research shows convincingly that
parent involvement has a critical ef
fect on children's learning, attitudes
about school and aspirations. When
parents and teachers work together,
they can make an unbeatable team.
Parent-Teacher conferences help
build that team.

Before the conference
Write down questions you want
to discuss
Talk with your child about the
fact that you have a meeting with his
or her teacher. Ask the child if heshe
has any concerns. Discuss what the
child feels are hisher successes, like
and dislikes about school. Ask if
there are any problems you should
discuss with the teacher.
Be prepared to talk and listen
during the conference. What goes on
at home affects how ell a child does
in school. Be sure to let the teacher
know about such key events as a
separation or divorce, family illness,
new baby, death in the family, loss of
a beloved pet, etc. It is not necessary
to share all your personal business,
but it will help your child's teacher to
know about important events that
may affectyourchild'sperformance.
At the conference
Arrive on time and stay only for
the amount of time scheduled for
your appointment. If important ques
tions have not been discussed, ask
for a future appointment. Overstay
ing your allotted time can put the
teacher in an awkward position with
other parents.
Try to relax
Talk about your child's interests
and any special information that he
she wanted discussed.
Make notes about discussion
during the conference to review with
your child.
Ask the teacher for herhis views
on needed improvements.
If your child needs additional
help, ask if the school or district
provides a list of tutors or after-school
classes.
Ask the teacher to explain any
thing you do not understand.
Summarize your understanding
of your child's progress and your

To the editor,
Impulsiveness. I am just so grate
ful that I do have the kind of brain
injury I'm told. Don't get me wrong.
I'm not proud of it, it's just that I
seem to aware of all the negative
things we all go through in life.
I'm sure we all have an impul
siveness we go through in our lives
with money. We all would love to get
what we want in our lives without
thinking about budgeting.
Remember inflation. We should
all prioritize the best must be bought,
be for first, we should have no crutch,
like, excuses either.
I'm now in a wonderful low-income
Uhihorn program, that is for
brain-injured folks only, around the
USA. I'm learning a lot. It's wonder
ful ! Just remember to "keep on keep
ing on", that's life for ya all. Thank
you.
