Help needed to find missing regalia
A black Ecko bag was left on the pow-wow grounds in Siletz on Sunday, Aug.
12, 2012.It contained two sets of regalia. One was a youth-size yellow and red
Pendleton with a Sponge Bob lining. The other was a man’s black ribbon shirt
with turquoise, white and gray ribbons. The breach had the four directions on it.
They are both traditional regalia that are very important. If you find them
or know if someone picked them up, please call the Eugene Area Office at 541-

By Reggie Butler Jr., Physical Activities
Coordinator
If your mother, father, husband, wife,
grandfather, grandmother or another loved
one has diabetes, there are things you can
do to help.
First, try to understand how it feels
to have diabetes. Some people
might feel:
•

•
•
•
•
In denial
A lack of control
Overwhelmed
Scared
Depressed
Angry
There are things a person can
do to live a healthy life with dia-
betes. This is what your loved
one might be doing every day:
•
•
•
•
Testing blood sugar several
times each day
Changing their eating habits
to eat foods with less sugar
and fat
Changing their eating habits
to include more fruits, veg-
etables, whole grains and
lean protein
Being more active by walk-
ing, working out at a wellness
center, splitting wood, etc.
•
Resting when needed and trying not
to get “stressed out”
You can help your loved one with
diabetes. Here is what you can do:

Going to medical appointments
more often

Taking diabetes pills every day or
giving themselves insulin shots

or be a support person at a doctor’s
appointment).
Be positive when they are drinking
water instead of soda or eating baked
foods instead of deep-fried foods.
Try not to nag or judge them when
they make a choice you think

I am not a diabetic. I am a mother,
auntie, sister, friend . . . a person with diabetes.
I am not defined by diabetes.
I have learned to manage it,
and my life goes on in a good way.
I am strong and confident.
I will live a long, healthy life with diabetes.

One of the best ways you
can support your loved one with
diabetes is to let them know
they are inspiring you. You can
become a champion in the fight
against diabetes. You can prevent
diabetes by being physically
active every day and staying at a
healthy weight.
Tell your loved one, “I want
to help you stay healthy with
diabetes and I want to be healthy
myself. Let me join you in mak-
ing healthy lifestyle changes. You
have inspired me to stay healthy
and fight diabetes. Thank you.”
