Smoke Signals August 1993 Page 7 Chemawa To Begin New School Year Chemawa Indian School Supervisor, Gerald Gray, announced that classes for the 1993-94 school year will begin August 25, 1993. Students, who are enrolled, will travel August 23-24 or as soon as possible thereafter by bus, train, or air as arranged by CIS. Chemawa Indian School is an off-reservation boarding (residential) high school accredited by Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges and the State of Oregon, and offers a wide variety of programs for Indian youth. The school's beautiful campus includes 400 acres near Salem, and 50 miles south of Portland. Course offerings for this year (four class block schedule) include general, vocational, computer, art, personal relationships, special education, Chapter 1, gifted and talented, career development, and a personalized education program where students are provided additional academic and remedial help evenings and weekends. According to Gray, the school is noted for, and emphasizes alcoholdrug education and treatment, counseling and guidance, nutritional foods service, modern dormitories with an enhanced home living environment, varied cultural and Native American activities, student government, diverse athletic programs, and a broad range of interested recreational opportunities. "Hopefully, all are having a great summer and I am looking forward to seeing the returning students as well as meeting all the new students in the fall," Byers said. Chemawa School's Drug and Alcohol Program was selected in 1990 as one of the twelve outstanding programs in the Bureau of Indian Affair's school system. The program was determined to have made a positive difference in the academic, cultural, social, and personal lives of the American Indian students attending Chemawa. As a Bureau of Indian Affairs' Sharing Excellence Network school, Chemawa was featured in the Bureau's Annual "Showcase of Excellence". "Many students have been helped to overcome their chemical dependency and abuse problems through Chemawa's Drug and Alcohol Program efforts," stated Gray. A new instructional education television news network program (Channel One) is used for the students. A computerized instructional program, Writer's Workbench is also available to the students. Two fully equipped computer laboratories were built and established for students to use. Recreational and leisure activities include skiing, river rafting, swimming, mountain hiking, camping, attendance at NBA and many college basketball games, excursions to the Pacific coast, and participation in many clubs, social events, student banquets, school barbecues, and picnics. City bus service is available to students and staff. BEAR AUGUST 28 - NOVEMBER 30, 1993 NAME ADDRESS CITY ZIP STATE PHONE. HUNTING STICKER NUMBER .

By Linda Mann, RDH Summer is here, and recreational activities are in full swing. Unfortunately, so are the injuries to the teeth, lips, and face. We've all seen professional athletes wearing mouth guards, but you don't have to be an NBA or an NBA or NHL player to benefit from a mouth guard. Anyone at any age who is involved in an activity that poses a threat to injury to your face can and should wear a mouth protector. Adults, teens, even children can benefit by getting used to wearing one and using it whenever they play sports. For instance, volleyball, soccer, rodeoing, and many other recreational activities can be potentially harmful to your smile without a mouth guard. A mouth guard is made of a soft plastic material that is formed to your teeth. It usually fits on your upper teeth. Although the "boil and bite" mouth guards available from most sport stores will work, a more comfortable, custom made mouth guard can be made by your dentist. All you need to do is come in for a simple impression of your teeth, then come back to pick it up. It's that easy. So enjoy your summer recreationjust remember to wear your mouth guard. The dental team here at the Grand Ronde Tribal Dental Clinic will be glad to make one for you. We want to help keep your smile safe for a lifetime.
