Surrounding Communities
The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde with
cooperative efforts of other members of the Grand
Ronde and Willamina communities has formed an
Oregon TOGETHER! Board. The Oregon TO
GETHER! Board is a community based prevention
board comprised of key leaders and other community
members. The Board's long term goals are to reduce
substance abuseuse in our community. However, there
are many steps that need to be taken before that goal is
obtainable.
The Oregon TOGETHER Board's mission is to utilize
community cooperative efforts to aid in the reduction of
adolescent substance abuse in the Grand Ronde and
Willamina communities by focusing prevention efforts
on the risk factors associated with substance abuse. The
risk factors which usually appear in every community are
divided into 4 categories.
The first are those risk factors which focus around the
community. These include economic and social depriva
tion; low neighborhood attachment and community dis
organization; transitions and mobility; community laws
and norms favorable to toward drug use; and the
availability of drugs in the community. Each of these
risk factors are related to substance abuse in the
community.
The second category of risk factors is that of the family.
These include having a family history of alcoholism;
family management problems; and parental drug use
and positive attitudes toward use. The next category
involves the school and risk factors associated with it.
Early antisocial behavior; academic failure; and a low

STATE CHAMPION - Tribal member Shonn Leno defeated Ryan Henry 2-0 in the State 2A Wrestling Champion
ships at Western Oregon State College in Monmouth. Leno, a sophomore at Willamina High, won the 106 lb. title.
Tribal Member Wins State Wrestling Championship
In the most exciting championship final of the State 2A
Wrestling Tournament, Tribal member Shonn Leno
pulled off a stunning victory over Dayton's Ryan Henry
to win the 106 pound championship. Leno, a sophomore
at Willamina High School, used a reversal with just :03
seconds left in the match to defeat Henry.
Leno brought a 31-3 record into the championship final
and Henry's record was an impressive 29-1 before losing
to Leno. Two of Leno's three losses were to Henry
earlier in the season. Henry defeated Leno 4-3 at the
Oregon Classic and 2-1 just two weeks ago in the
District championships.
After the match Leno said that his victory hadn't really
sunk in yet. " I just know that this a good feeling."
During the match's final seconds Leno said he knew he
could pull it off. "At the end of the match I just kept
thinking 'State Championship.'"
The tournament, held at Western Oregon State
College in Monmouth, was the highlight of the season
for this 15 year old grappler. His battles with Henry just
made the season more memorable. "It's harder for both
of us because we know each other so well."
Congratulations Shonn! The Tribe is proud of your fine
effort.
