LOCAL TRIBAL YOUTH EXCEL IN BASEBALL
Del Norte Little League All-Star Baseball Junior age division made a historic run for local baseball. The team, comprised of players between the ages of 12 to 14, went deep into the postseason. Representing Del Norte in Oregon’s District 8, the 11 player team went on to win the Oregon State Tournament in Prineville OR, becoming the Oregon State Little League Junior Champions for 2022. All of their wins at the state tournament were of 10 runs or more. (Yes, Del Norte County California actually is part of Oregon’s little league due in part to our proximity to Oregon based teams.)
Following the State Championship, the team went on to represent the state of Oregon in the Western Regional competition. Teams winning this round would move on to represent the Western Division in the Little League World Series. Hosted by the City of Bend, Oregon, at Caldera High School these boys represented Del Norte, their local tribes, and the surrounding community with dignity and respect. Matched up against teams from 10 other western states, the boys fought hard. It was amazing to watch them compete against All-Star teams from huge areas where some teams have population bases to pick from in excess of 250,000 people, compared to the Del Norte team being comprised from a population base of appx 25,000.

These higher power teams have over 10x the player pool to pick from but that didn’t stop our boys from competing with them at the highest level! Ultimately the team did fall short of winning the regional competition, however the accomplishment is no less amazing. Tribally this team was the most significant representation in recent memory for Del Norte Baseball. 9 of the 11 kids on the team are either local tribal members or descendants of Native Americans. Tribal members hailing from Siletz, Yurok and Tolowa Dee-ni Nation. Tolowa Dee-ni tribal members played prominent roles on the team and they included Marcus Parras starting 1st base and 3rd base, Dominick Miller starting catcher, and Kanyon Starkey starting pitcher and shortstop. The team was coached by Kurt Miller Tolowa Dee ni tribal member, Victor Starkey
coaches had heard numerous times things like “baseball is my favorite sport” or “I like baseball now more than _____ sport”. This in the end is the real goal. To instill work ethic and a love for a team game in these young men. There are boys coming off this team who now just want to play baseball all year long!
A huge thank you goes out to the community for helping to support the kid’s historic journey. The outpouring of support was astounding. And a very special thank you goes out to the Tolowa Dee-ni Nation for donating not only to this team but to all the little league All Star teams as well as the Nations support to sponsor the local Little League itself. Without programs like Little League there would be kids who never reach their full potential not just in baseball but in life itself. It truly is an invaluable program.

GreatAmerican Smokeout (GAS)
ElidiaAdams Loya, Health Promotion & Education Specialist, NATIVE Tobacco Project United Indian Health Services, Inc.
What is the GreatAmerican Smokeout? The Great American Smokeout event is on the third Thursday in November hosted by theAmerican Cancer Society. This can be your day to start your journey toward a smoke free life. You’ll be joining thousands of people who smoke across the country in taking an important step toward a healthier life and reducing your cancer risk.
Smoking causes an estimated 480,000 deaths every year, or about 1 in 5 deaths. More than 16 millionAmericans live with a smoking related disease. No matter your age or how long you’ve been smoking, quitting improves health both immediately and over long term. Giving up smoking is a journey, and it can be hard, but you can increase your chances of success with a good plan and support. Getting help through counseling and medications doubles or even triples your chances of quitting successfully.
More than 1 in 4American Indian andAlaskan Natives (AI/AN) adults smoke cigarettes. At 26%, that's 1.5 times greater than the US smoking rate. Out of the 10 leading causes
of death amongAI/AN, 6 of them have been linked to smoking.
On November 17, 2022, United Indian Health Services’ NATIVE Tobacco Project will be providing educational outreach at the following sites: Potawot Health Village & TAA‘ATDVN Medical Clinic (Crescent City) from 1-4PM. This event will have FREE resources, face masks & quit kits that have been specifically designed for UIHS clients.

NEW EMPLOYEE
Dv laa ha~ (Hello),
I would like to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Staci Barr and I am your new Manager for Records and Enrollment. I have lived in Brookings since 2004. Myself, along with my husband of almost 17 years, Rob, raised our son, Colby, in this gorgeous area. My son recently graduated from Brookings Harbor High and he and his new wife, Taysja, both enlisted in the United States Marine Corp and started boot camp September 5th of this year.
My previous position was as Branch Manager for US Bank. In my role I managed, at different times, both the Crescent City branch and the Brookings branch. With my knowledge, I bring management, organization, confidence, guidance, a smile and always a helpful hand. It is my absolute pleasure to be entrusted in this role with the Nation. I look forward to working with all of you and growing the Tolowa Dee ni’ Nation.
In my spare time, I enjoy watching the 49ers and the Oregon Ducks play Football. I love hiking with my beautiful Rottweiler, Lexi and enjoy watching our cat Dexter, who thinks he rules our house. Please feel free to contact me anytime with any questions, concerns, or general information at 707-487-9255 ext. 1180.
Shu’ shaa nin-la (Thank you), Staci Barr
