THE CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF THE GRAND RONDE COMMUNITY OF OREGON ft APril 1992
Dcntcl Clinic opens
Only minutes after the tribal Dental
Clinic opened on March 10, the first
client showed up in desperate need of
repairing a broken tooth.
Tribal member Tom Leno, was the
first client to put a "dent" in the brand
new tribal dental chair.
He overcame his fear of the dentist
long enough to fix his tooth.
With an overall pleasant experience
behind him, Tom said it was nice
because he didn't feel a thing.

HA Division wrestling State Championship
By Cathy Cline, Editor
Winning the High School Division IIA
Wrestling State Championship for
brothers Dustin Leno, 14, and Shonn
Leno, 16, was more than just another
medal to hang on the wall. It was proof
that all the hard work put into wrestling,
by the entire family, was finally paying
off.
Wrestling has been a major part of
the boys' life since they were four years
old, which explains their near perfect
winning records for this year; 35-0 for
Shonn and 34-0-1 for Dustin.
Intensive practicing 10 months out of
the year helps to keep the Leno boys,
grandsons of Orville and Ramona Leno,
focused on their wrestling aspirations,
even though it also wears them out at
times.
During their high school wrestling
season at Willamina High School the
boys attend regular practices at school
and also drive to Portland at least once
a week for private practices at the
Peninsula Wrestling Club.
According to high school rules, the
boys cannot by-pass their regular
practices to take private practices and
still compete in the 2A high school
division. "My daughter Angie Leno and
I share the responsibility of driving them
back and forth to Portland," Reyn Leno,
the boys' father said. "But this year
Shonn is old enough to drive, so they will
be going by themselves now."
The Olympic hopefuls still manage to
maintain a "B" average in their studies
and play other sports. Dustin, a 14 year
old freshman, plays high school baseball
as well.
"I like wrestling better because it is
more of a single sport," he said. "You
don't have to count on anyone else to
win it for you."
"Wrestling takes more self-discipline
than almost any other sport there is,"
Shonn, a 16 year old junior who likes to
hunt and fish said. "There is a lot more
training involved in wrestling and you
have to lose weight and keep it off for
