SpilyayTymoo News for the o5 This message is from the Vince and Larry Crash Dummy Website by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Education Com mittee at the Health and Wellness Center would like you to continue celebrating motor vehicle safety month that was in October by wear ing your seat belt and not drinking and driving. Drinking and driving don't mix. Drinking and driving don't mix. Drinking and driving don't mix. Nomattcrhowmanytimesvou've heard it, there are people who just don't get it. In fact, every 30 min utes, someone in this country dies in an alcohol-related crash. Every 30 minutes! And last year alone over one million people were injured in alcohol-related traffic crashes. Larry and I want to tell everyone kids, parents and all licensed drivers why no one should drive a car, or ride in a car with someone who is under the effects of alcohol. It just doesn't make sense. Even to a dummy. Questions and answers about drinking and driving. How does alcohol affect a person's ability to drive? The more a person drinks, the more their ability to make crucial driving decisions becomes impaired. After just one drink, a driver can begin to lose their ability to perform the tasks necessary to drive a car: braking, steering, changing lanes, and using judgment to adjust to changing road conditions. At a certain point, a driver will become legally intoxi cated and can be arrested for attempt ing to operate a motor vehicle.

These are terms used by police. In every state in our country there is a legal limit to how much alcohol you can have in your body if you are driving. If you drink and drive you can lose your driver's license and even go to jail. How do you Measure how much Alcohol is in the blood? A driver's Blood Alcohol Con tent is measured by the weight of the alcohol in a certain volume of blood. Police test breath to measure a driv ers BAC. it can also be tested in blood, urine or saliva (Yuck!) Did you know that a major por tion of all crashes arc alcohol re lated? In Oregon out of 572 deaths, 41.4 of the deaths were related to alcohol. What can you do about drunk driving? Follow these suggestions from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). Your best defense against a drunk driver is to wear your safety belt, make sure any children in the care are in child safety seats. Never ride in a car operated by someone who has been drinking. Call a cab or ask a friend to drive you home. Report drunk drivers to law en forcement from a car phone or pay phone. Keep a safe distance from any one driving erratically. Just for the Health of It!

This is what God seems to be teaching me and my family. Things have hap pened to us to make us wonder, Why me (us)?! But with God's everlasting love we can make it. Amen?! When I first came to the Lord (April 12, 1983), it was six months after my husband. By Easton's ex ample I accepted the Lord. We had a pastor when we lived in Beaverton that truly taught us what compassion is. Whenever we missed church services, Pastor Bob was call ing or visiting us to find out why we never came. He always had a way to ask if we were still saved, for ex ample: "Hello, brother Easton, do you still love the Lord?!", "Sister Tina, are you still praising the Lord? !" "Are you still saved?!" Usually it was because we didn't have gas. He would slip one of us some gas money to put in our car, not asking if we needed it but giving whole heartedly . The Lord called Pastor Bob home but we were fortunate enough to meet our Christian parents Merle & Rose Williams Sr. and family.

The Facility Management staffs biggest challenge for 1 999 is the Y2K problem. The year 2000 computer problem is the inability of most com- fiuters to process date information ater than December 31, 1999. With the Health and Wellness Center be ing a newer facility the standard tech nology involves numerous comput erized programs and H VAC systems. Our department is responsible for making certain the systems welcome in the new millennium without a glitch. Presently our Y2K problems are successfully being resolved. To address this challenge our ap pointed Year 2000 Readiness Team has been tasked with carrying our pre-contingency and contingency planning. Facility Management is active on the Readiness Team. We assisted in the sponsorship and organization of the three day "Cleaning Strides Toward the Year 2000" conference at Kah-nee-tah. The conference, which was tailored for cleaning industry workers, re ceived regional recognition. Ap proximately twelve regional and lo cal cleaning workers received certi fication at the, on site, Custodial Technician Level I training we hosted in August 1999.

Corporal Esquiro distinguished him self by display of initiative and tech nical and tactical expertise. Given minimal guidance, he expeditiously emplaced his rifle squad and promptly completed his fire plan sketch. These action allowed the other two squads in 2nd platoon to quickly establish their respective defensive positions. Once emplaced, his squad constructed impressive fighting holes with outstanding interlocking field of fire. In addition, his tactical ability to "What If the defensive scheme of maneuver proved to be an invaluable all that you do, sin but our Christian family is there for us and always prays tor us. i know the Lord blesses them for their love. This is what we as Christians must do, we should have the wisdom to know that something is wrong with our brethren. What is the reason they aren't in church? Was something said or done to discourage their walk? We are the example to our children and the ungodly and the backsliders. If we are caught talking about some one, is it good? If we want to see changes for the good, what is being done about it? Do we walk the talk? When we pray, are we sincere? In stead of being envious or jealous, do we praise God for the other person's good fortune? I thank God for my sister-in-law Becky for blessing George Sr. with a pickup for all the help he had done for her. I thank God for my husband being able to work. George Sr. and Easton had worked long & hard on the new church without any days off at times, trying to get by with what little they had to work with. Giving tithes with their unselfish time, labor and devotion to get the new church finished. I thank God formy family, friends and my salvation. I (we) pray for of this sentence.

Esquiro, says member those that don't know our Lord, those that don't like us, the sick, the dying (spiritually & physically) and for our reservation. I pray for all church con gregations but most of all I pray to let the Lord know I'm thankful He died on the cross for me. He has been good to me and my loveJ ones. The Lord wants all of our praise, even in bad times. There is a reason for all the things we go through, good and bad. If you're not saved, get saved! The time is near when we will hear the trumpet blow! The Lord will be coming back for His own. He will not take the adulterers, the alcohol ics, the druggies, the murderers, etc. The only way to make it to heaven is to accept Him into your life and heart. If you've fallen away, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and continue on! Find a spirit-filled, holy ghost, tongue talking, hand clapping, foot stomping, praising God hallelujah shouting, kick out the devil, church and go. When you do go, be that light to draw others in. Well, Praise God in all things ! If this letter touches one person, I feel I have done something for the Lord today. God Bless you all.
