Tribal Recycling Depot Now Open!
Grand Ronde residents will no longer
have to chart their recyclables to Mc
Minnville or other towns. A community
drop-off recycling depot is now open
behind the Public Works building on
25500 Grand Ronde Road. In response
to tribal member interest in local recy
cling, a recycling depot has been estab
lished for the Grand Ronde community's
use. The depot will be smaller but simi
lar to the City Recycling drop-off depot
in McMinnville. You can recycle used
newspaper, magazines, corrugated card
board, glass, tin cans, aluminum cans and
plastic bottles and milk jugs. Signs at
the depot clearly label the various bins.
All contributions to the depot are volun
tary. No deposit will be paid and no fee
will be charged. City Recycling of Mc
Minnville will collect the materials and
sanitize the containers weekly. You may
already be familiar with City Recycling's
drop-off program. If not, the guide be
low explains the requirements of their
systems.
Newspaper: Slick ads may be re
cycled with the paper. Please do not mix
with cardboard, paper bags or magazines. '
Magazines: Must be slick, shiny,
coated paper only. Catalogs are O.K.
Don't mix with newspaper.
Corrugated Cardboard: No wire or
plastic. Waxed cardboard cannot be re
cycled. (No cereal boxes, milk cartons
or shoe boxes.) Recycle brown paper bags
with cardboard.
Glass Bottles & Jars: Food and beverage
bottles and jars only. Caps must be removed.
Labels must be left on. Sort by color (clear,
green, brown) into separate bins. No broken
glass, window glass, light bulbs, pyrex, ce
ramics or dishes.
Tin Cans: Remove labels, top and bottom.
Rinse clean and flatten. Household cans only.
No appliances or scrap metal.
Plastic Bottles & Milk Jugs: Check the
neck, threaded necks (or screw tops) only.
Discard lid, rinse and flatten. You do not need
to remove labels.
Establishment of a community recycling
center has been a goal of the Tribal Recycling
Team for sometime. Dakota Whitecloud, who
serves on the Recycling Team said, "It's a
good place to have the depot. Public Works
is a secure location and also easily accessible."
"It's about time," commented tribal member
and Grand Ronde resident Jan Michael Rei
bach, "It's a good idea. It makes sense that
Indians would want to recycle and protect the
environment."
Special thanks go to Mike Larsen and John
Mercier for their help and support of the
project. The hours of operation for the depot
are 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The area will be
patrolled by tribal security to ensure that this
community service is not being abused. If
garbage dumping occurs on site, the depot will
have to be closed.

"To a Special Person"
We would like my niece Angie Fasana to
know how very proud we are of her. On May
24 we attended to her graduation from Lewis
and Clark Law School. She worked very hard
for this accomplishment. She set her goals
high and then did it! Through all of this she
still attended all family functions, got mar
ried, had a daughter, and tried to live as nor
mal a life as possible. She also attended all
Education Committee meetings, as she is the
secretary. We could go on forever of all rea
sons w hy we think she's special. But most of
all she is and always has been a great niece.
Always willing to help. We still sec her as
the little girl in pigtails smiling. Best of luck.
We love you, Uncle Roy and Aunt Dar.

- Only 1 in 3 are willing to report a drug

marijuana in their youth. Kids Exposed
to Smoke are Sick More Often... Chil
dren exposed to smoke in their homes
have more colds, flu, bronchitis and pneu
monia and miss 7 million more school
days than others kids, a major study
shows. Researches for the federal Center
for Disease Control and Prevention, At
lanta, interviewed the parents of 17,488
children ages 1 to 10.
"Secondhand smoke exposure has
never been studied in such a large num
ber of children before. This is the first
nationally representative sample," says
David Mannino of CDC. Based on their
sample, representing 33.7 million chil
dren, Mannino estimates 10.5 million
(31.2) are exposed to cigarette smoke
in the home daily and another 2 million
(5.8) are exposed less often.
Results show that 10.5 million children
arc exposed to smoke every day.
- They miss 28 million school days, a
third more than kids not exposed to smoke
at home.
- Have 1 .7 million more colds and acute
respiratory infections, 10 more than un
exposed kids.
- Have 102 million days of restricted
activities, such as missing sports practice
after school, 2 1 more than exposed kids.
- Secondhand smoke is the third lead
ing preventable cause of death in the U.S.
behind direct smoking and alcohol abuse.
- Each year 53,000 Americans die as the
result of exposure to secondhand smoke.
- Tobacco smoke contains more than 50
chemicals that have been identified as car
cinogens (cancer-causing agents).
- Sidcstream smoke contains 2.5 times
more carbon monoxide than direct smoke.
And it contains more small-diameter par
ticles, which are more likely to become
embedded in the lungs.
- up to 33 of childhood asthma in the
U.S. is due to exposure to tobacco smoke
- Exposure to parents' smoke is a ma
jor cause of Sudden Infant Death Syn
drome (SIDS).
