SILETZ, OREGON ALCOHOL - SUMMER- A e W v iftE 9 Submitted by Walt Klamath, Outpatient Counselor < Submitted by Walt Klamath, Outpatient Counselor Alcohol has many calories, but it is not a food. They are quick burning calories. This is why the body gets confused when alcohol is consum ed. Part of the body system is e n e rg ize d , w h ile the m otor functions slow do w n , a little confusion to the body, wouldn't you say? When food and alcohol are consumed at the same tim e, the body will quickly use the alcoh ol calorie s and store the food calories. Hence we have to add holes in our belts. Beer and wine do have some food value in the beverage. Alcohol is a fe c a l matter. Alcohol is a waste product of yeast. When the alcohol content gets so high the yeast bacteria die and decay to make stronger alcohol. Isn't th a t som e th in g, alcohol is such a good disinfectant that it disinfects itself, and we d rin k it? A Doctor in Eugene once said, that beer will put fat around the heart, resulting in a condition called fatty heart. He said that a person that is a heavy beer drinker may not show excessive weight physically, but w ill show internally (during autopsy). The Siletz T ribal Alcohol and Drug Program h a s a b u sy sum m er schedule p lan ned fo r tire p re ve n tio n /e d u ca tio n o f chem ical use,, abuse and addiction. There may be more events happening than what we are planning for at this time. To start out, on June 9, the class from Toledo High and others, will be going on a Rope Challenge course in Portland. This is something that is brand new to our program, we do not know what all will take place, I am sure that it w ill be interesting. We have see,n videos of others that were doing it, however it was suggested that we not show these to the participants as then they would use others ideas rather than their own. We w illv id e o their progress through the course. June T7 through 24, T ribal Elder, Eddie Bellerose will conduct a workshop at the Siletz Tribal Com m unity Center. Eddie w ill lead one workshop for young people, and one for the adults. There will be a nominal fee for- attending these w orkshops. Eddie puts on a very interesting workshop. He uses m any cultural and traditional methods of getting the idea across. The num ber of persons w ill be lim ited, so our advice is to get y o u r n a m e i.ln soon. C ontact Frank Petersen for reservations. Between July 22 and August 4 we are planning 3. raft trips, The p e e w e e § w il| be a fld a t t r ip dow n th e W ilia m e ttb There are three types o f alcohol: Ethyl Alcohol, about this there are m any songs w ritte n ,’.-many show s, many broken dream s and many deaths. It is called a social beverage by many, courage builder, rom ance enhancer. Probably, one of my favo rite songs is "w hat made M ilw aukie fam ous, has made a fool out o f m e". Ethyl Alcohol is the only one of the three that will not do immediate damage to the body, but it w ill, it is very patient. Methyl Alcohol: This is canned heat used in little boy scout stoves, and was included in C -ra tions during the Korean Conflict. Many have consum ed this m ethyl alcohol and have lived to boast about it, many didn't. The Koreans used to sell this stuff to the soldie rs in K orea. M ethyl A lco h o l can cause acute sickn ess and b lin d n e s s m ost o f th e tim e it w as reve rsible. T his type o f alcohol works directly on the eyes. M ethyl Alcohol stays in the body 9 tim es longer than ethyl alcohol, .instead of 1 hour to an ounce to dissipate, it takes 9 hours for an ounce to leave the body. This is also used as anti freeze in very cold weather, it had a low boiling po in t , so is not too effective in climates such as ours. Isopropyl Alcohol: Rubbing Alcohol, highly toxic, sometimes called wood alcohol. Many years ago we used to bore old growth trees to get the pitch, that would be used to make w ood alcohol. Isopropyl a lc o h o l IS' treated w ith an additive, ipecac, to cause im m ediate vom iting if it happens to be ingested. M ost of us have had enough sense, to leave these last ,two alone, I don't know hpw, m ust b e ,a n ^ n g e i^ n , our shouJders. ap p ro xim a te ly 20 m iles, an o ve rn ig h te r. th e r e w ill be a three day trip down the Deschutes River for the teenage boys and girls.
