12 S moke S ignals NOVEMBER 1, 2017 Chemawa completes remodel SALEM – The Indian Health Service’s Chemawa-Western Oregon Service Unit held a rededication ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 19, for its remodeled facility that serves more than 6,000 registered patients. The modernization construction started in early 2016 and included ap- proximately 12,000 square feet of existing space that was remodeled for primary care, eye care, behavioral health and business offices. Approxi- mately 2,000 square feet of new space was added for a patient wing and wellness center. The building was first constructed in 1979 and was originally known as the Chemawa Indian Health Center. It was designed primarily as a student health center for Chemawa Indian School and also for Native American and Alaska Natives living in the Salem area. Shortly after it was constructed, it was transferred from the Bureau of Indian Affairs to the Indian Health Service. Today, the facility continues to provide health services to the students as well as Tribal members from more than 100 Tribes. “We are excited that this day has come for the community,” said Dean Seyler, Portland Area Indian Health Service director. “We’ve seen sig- nificant growth in the service population as Chemawa, which made the modernization project necessary.” JOB OPPORTUNITIES INTERNAL OPENINGS INTERNAL/EXTERNAL Housing Groundskeeper/ Maintenance Technician Job #090-17 Housing Grade: 6 Closing date: Nov. 1 EHS Home Visitor Job #088-17 Early Childhood Education Grade: 9 Closing date: Nov. 2 IN THE TRIBAL COURT OF THE CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF THE GRAND RONDE COMMUNITY OF OREGON In the Matter of: Brittany Sarah Thomas, Petitioner Based on the allegations set forth in the Petition for Name Change filed by Petitioner on August 25, 2017, THE COURT FINDS AS FOLLOWS: 1.
