New Face: Linda Mann Greetings from the state of Arizona! My name is Linda Mann and I am the new dental hygienist here at the Grand Ronde Tribal Dental Clinic. My husband and 18 month old son just moved from the Grand Canyon state to this beautiful green state of Oregon. We are excited to live and work in such a beautiful location, but after living in dry, hot Arizona, the rain will take some getting used to. Let me tell you a little about my background. I graduated from the University of Colorado with a Bachelor of Science degree in dental hygiene in 1 986. 1 have spent the last seven years working in private practice in various dental offices. Although I enjoyed private practice, I have always wanted to get more involved in dental health education and community activities and am pleased I will get to do that in Grand Ronde. I will be seeing patients three days per week here at the clinic for preventative services which include dental cleanings, treatment of periodontal diseases (pyorrhea), applying dental sealants and helping you find ways to keep your mouth in tip-top shape. The other two days per week I will be busy doing tribal and community prevention activities including speaking to the kids at summer school, doing some staff in-service training and visiting the schools this fall to provide dental education. You will be hearing more from me each month as I continue to bring you news from the dental clinic on topics relating to your dental health. I look forward to meeting you and being part of the Grand Ronde staff and community. ATTENTION!

J Linda Mann new hygienist Tags No Longer Transferrable The Grand Ronde Tribal Council has ammended the Fish and Wildlife Ordinance to read under Section (v) (3) Sentence l-Only a tribal elder or a handicapped person may transfer a tag to another licensed enrolled tribal member. The transferring member is still responsible for returning the tag or reporting the status of the tag. This resolution means that if a hunting tag is allocated to you, you will not be permitted to give it to someone else to hunt game for you unless you are an elder or handicapped. The Tribal Council for the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon adopted this resolution at a regularly scheduled meeting, with a quorum present as required by the Grand Ronde Constitution held on June 2, 1 993 by a vote of 6 yeas, 0 no, and 0 abstentions.
