if RICK'S |f PLACE 1 was present at a recent meeting ? of concerned folks regarding the : Lumbee Bill 1 was impressed with the amount oftune. energy and money : that has gone into the effort in the last k ; few weeks to get the bill voted on in <*> the US Senate j As in most political situations. , . things are not what they appear to be. ; It would appear that all Lumbee Indian { groups, organ i7atwms and associations t would be able to put aside the petty i jealousies and grudges to work for the - common good of our people Has this ? happened? 1 don't think so. As an Indian people, we have a ? duty to ourselves to work together to ? get this major piece of Indian - legislation into law. The Lumbee bill ? will probably be the most important I single event to touch the lives of us as ; a nation. This bill has the potential to ; change, for the better, the way we ? live, the way we educate our children. I and the way we look at ourselves ; The Lumbee Bill will not provide ; an "Indian Check" or ' Indian ; money" for Lumbee Indians ? individual. The bill will provide ! services that will be for all Lumbee ! Indians. Health care service. educational services and community based services to improve the quality of our lives is just the tip ofthe Federal iceberg It is necessary for the Bill to be voted on before die Senate adjourns this session The Limbec bill is in a political now or never (or at lean not in our life time) situation Now is the time to let our iUwtmnons US Senators know where we stand on dus issue Or. Joey Bell and I have committed to write letters to Senators Fair cloth Helms and lnouye to let them know how we feel about the Uumbee Bill and to let them know we need and appreciate their support. 1 encourage you to join us in this commitment Take a few moments and hand write a short letter to: US Senator Fatrcloth 702 Heart Senate Office Building Washington, DC. 20510 and US Senator Helms 403 Diiksen Senate Office Building Washington. DC. 20510 also US Senator lnouye 722 Heart Senate Building Washington. DC. 20510 Traditionally, hand written letters are rend by the Senators. This is the quickest and most effective means of doing something for the Lumbee Bill. There is an old saying: "The squeaky wheel gets the oil" Let's nuke enough noise that the U S Senate will give us the "oil" in the form of Federal Recognition Write today' Rick Barton Celebration to Be Held The Tn-Angle Naiive American Society cordially invites the public to attend the celebration of their Tenth Annual Indian Heritage Gala on Saturday.

The Coach's Corner ARBITRATION. THE BASIC RULE Webster s dictionary says, "the hearing and settlement of a dispute between two parties by the decision of a third party or court. This is why the players' strike is to my way of thinking is out of line They, not a third party is forcing the issue and settling it their way It is the using of the "slave ethic' that makes it so wrong. The interests of the fans, management interests, the hundreds of other employees are being ignored It is a very badexampie ofthe freedom of democracy guaranteed by the Constitution. It is too expensive to attend the games, yet there are plenty of people willing to shell-out S20.00 to 530 00 to see a game, or more. The players owe plenty to the game and should not strike We could not have " Private enterprise " or freedom in a democracy if money was not allowed to make a profit That is why communism failed, there was no reward for their investment. The players selfishness is spoiling the game. Striking is not the answer. I just hope common sense will come into play and Clinton will enact the Tali Arbitration Law K.J. a Jrtoian ^H ^H ? ? t I ?

Oregon two weeks ago. Today let's discuss some if the problems that can arise in our luds teeth nod what can be done to combat these problems Dental care has come a long way over the last 10 to IS years A survey in 1980 showed thai 50% of children agesS to 7 were free ofdental cavities This is up from 36% in a sun ev done 10 years earlier. While this is good progress, we must still remember thai approximately 80% of all IS to 17 year olds have at least one decayed, missing or filled tooth surface One of the earliest types of significant tooth cavities is called "bottle cavities" It usually involves the front upper and sometimes front lower teeth These cavities result from excessive and prolonged nursing in young children with milk or juices It is particularly common in infants put to bed with a bottle. These cavities. like all cavities at any age. are caused when the sugar from these liquids is eaten by bacteria in the mouth and acids are formed. The acids ear away at the enamel of the teeth and eventually cause decay We should discourage excessive use of bottles and especially putting kids to bed with juice or milk. In the more common cavities of older kids, decay usually begins in the deep pits and crevices of the molar teeth Once the cavity has progressed pass the enamel, it eventually can reach the pulp, where the nerve and blioo supply of tke loath Ikt Inflammation begins with rapid art?nil Mirm of fluid mtmihii >nh and pun develops. Ifdental carets not Mwght^ this iafl?mattoo and even spread beyond the tooth and gums Antibiotics are required to help control the infection The inflammation may have to be chained from the tooth or the tooth may be removed Having cavities treated early, before thev reach the deepest part of the tooth, can prevent those more severe problems Gingivitis, an early tonn of gum - disease, is more common than previously thought in children Gingivitis refers to inflammation of the portion of the gums adjacent to the tooth. All chikben have a mild form of gingivitis when a tooth begins popping through the gums, but of course this "teething" inflammation goes away once the tooth is through After tooth eruption, however, the accumulation of plaque (a sticky combination of food debris, bacteria and saliva) on the tooth athacent to the gums may initiate a more serious form of gingivitis At least one medical study has shown thai up to 90% of school age children have at least mild to moderate gingivitis. Brushing your teeth regularly and using plaque removing techniques will help eliminate gingivitis Next week we II talk about preventive dentistry and things we can be teaching our kids to do to have healthier teeth and gums We need everyone s support on our Lumber federal recognition bill in Washington and don't forget to vote for tribal candidates on August 27th See Ya* 521-2826 to Subscribe u Vote for Emma Lee Locklear District 13 (Prospect Community) LUMBEETIUfMU, CPUNCIU Saturday, August 27, 1994 6:30 A.M. ? 7:30 P.M.
