VOLLEYBALL
TOURNAMENT
The Alcohol and Drug Prevention Program sponsored
the first annual volleyball tournament as an alternative
sober activity. Trophies were given for 1st and 2nd
places, a 3rd prize ribbon was also given. The AD
Prevention Program has plans to continue this activity
each year on the Saturday of the annual Pow-Wow. We
are currently researching the cost and probability of
having a volleyball sand pit close to the Community
Center for next years tournament. Cost will remain the
same at $2.50 per person, $10.00 per team. To improve
the tournament for the following years, we would like to
work with the Pow-Wow Coordinators and M.Gs to
announce the tournament and winners. We would also
like to have the tournament more organized, as far as
deadlines to sign up and fees due to deadlines, and more
publicity of the tournament. Any positive comments to
improve the tournament is welcomed.
1st place went to: JackieWhisler, Jim Willis , Greg
Leno, Dusty Herber.
2nd place went to: Mary Brickell, Teri Hosclaw,
Cory Meneley, Jeff Nepstad.
3rd place went to: Dean Azule, Kelly Herber, Melanie
Smith, Steve Samples
Congratulation to the winning teams and thank you to
all who participated. Proceeds went to help fund t-shirts
for tribal youth.

SOBER DANCE
On August 16, 1991 the Alcohol and Drug Prevention
Program sponsored a Sober Dance. The dance was
t chosen on this date of the Pow-Wow to provide a sober
activity for persons of all ages, focusing on youth. There
were no problems occurring during the dance at all.
The Alcohol and Drug staff were present to chaperon.
There were also four others who were hired to watch
doors and alarms. No fights broke out or any other
negative misbehaving during the dance and no fire
alarms were set off. Approximately 150 persons did
show up and appeared to have a good time. Persons of
all ages, Indian and non-Indian attended the Sober
Dance. The janitor of the grade school was present
before, during and after the dance, he assured the staff
that the clean-up and all else went well. Although there
was a $1.00 donation for the dance, it was not manda
tory to pay to enter the dance. The AD staff feel that
the Sober Dance is an important alternative activity and
have every intention of continuing to sponsor the Sober
Dance on each Friday of the Annual Pow-Wow.
We also feel that if the Sober Dance was not an activity
during Pow-Wow, there may have been many persons,
including youth, that may have engaged in other activi
ties that could have created an unhealthy environment
and reflect poorly on the Pow-Wow festivities.
It is understood that the Pow-Wow will be held on
Tribal Pow-Wow grounds in August 1992. The dance
will be facilitated in one of two choices, the Community
Center or the Grand Ronde Elementary School again.
The Pow-Wow Committee was very cooperative and
helpful in planning the Sober Dance this year. We hope
that this cooperative and supportive working relation
ship will continue throughout many Pow-Wow years to
come.
