FURTHERING YOUR EDUCATION
WALK FOR YOUR HEALTH
Submitted by Sue Bevens
Submitted by Irene Holland
The S iletz T ribe offers two post
secondary education programs.
For more
detailed information please contact Bob Tom or
Sue Bevens at the Siletz Salem Area Office at

Walking is one of the most important
activities you can do for your health. It is a
great way to lose weight and to protect as well
as recover from a heart attack. Following is a
narrative submitted by June Austin. What she
has to say is encouraging and from her own
experience.
"A year ago on April 1, 1989, I
started walking with my husband who had open
heart surgery. At the beginning I could only do
1 lap, my knees and ankles hurt from arthritis.
But he kept encouraging me to do a little bit
more each week. I found I was feeling good
being out in the fresh air. So, gradually, I was
up to 5 laps by Christmas, with some new
walking shoes as my Christmas wish. I made
up my mind to go on to 6 laps, 1 1/2 miles.
I've been maintaining this distance ever since.
There has been very little, if any ,
problem with arthritis.
O f course, I stretch
and warm up each morning.
So, I consider myself a winner just by
doing my walking, which I will continue. Health
has been an added bonus.
Would also like to add, I'm diabetic
with high blood pressure and a 66 year old
Great-Grandmother.
I feel great.
Hope it
continues."
