' SILETZ, OREGON 'gt BREWING ADDITIVES By: Walt Klamath, Outpatient Counselor Alcohol brewers seem to be exempt from labeling what Is in their products other than the alcohol content by volume. Technology has come a long way since grandpa Stirred up a batch of hootch in the back yard. This stuff was hazy to look at, had sediment on the bottom. The only way to have a clear drink was to not shake the bottle or jar. Today there are all sorts of chemicals added to achieve a desired effect. For instance, in beer, asperguillus oryzae or bacillus subtilus, a bacteria in spit, is used for natural light beer. Appetizing, yep. Methylene cloride, this is an excellent paint remover and an industrial solvent. Calcium disodium ethylendiamine, I have no idea what this is, but it puts the head on the beer. Bebchwood aging process is a chemical treated piece of lumber put in the brewing vat. Food dye#5 causes extreme allergic reactions in some people, and we thought that it was a hangover.

Box 549, Siletz, Oregon 97380 July PAGE 7 NEW MEXICO WORKSHOP BY: Walt Klamath, Outpatient Counselor In May of this year I had the good privilege to attend a workshop in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This was facilitated by Indian People. I met Indians from all over the United States and Canada. Even had a chance to talk with a medicine man, this was truly an experience, but I cannot remember what all he had to say. There were many sober, sober Indians there and at night, when the workshop had come to a standstill, they were not at the hotel bar. Most of tine people that I talked with had many more years of sobriety than I, so it does work for us! There were many good topics to choose from, I chose those that may be used in our own program. One was on the use of the Sweat Lodge, another was INDIAN POWER. There were others that I did take and were interesting but these were my favorite topics. They did have a sweat in the hotel sauna, but there was no way anyone could get to it, it was so crowded. The University of Oklahoma put on a Mini Pow Wow the first night there. There was not even standing room. The University had figured there would be about 300 in attendance, it turned out to be about 550 people. The majority of the providers in attendance were women. I guess one could say heaven fell on us (meh). This incidentally was the first time that I have ever flown in a jet plane. I was quite apprehensive about flying, and was ready to cancel out if I could have figured some way to save face back at the ranch. I cannot fly a plane and was skeptical if anyone else could either. The pilot did manage to get the darn thing off the ground without any help from me though. On the way to Los Angeles, I had a window seat to the rear on a plane with wings to the rear, mb on top of them. From Los Angeles to Albuquerque I was again with a window seat toward the front this time, on a plane with the wings to the front, me on top of them, so did not see very much, probably couldn't anyway from 32,000 feet. Then from Albuquerque to Salt Lake City, Utah I was on the aisle row In-between wings, and it probably would have embarrassed the two people between me and the window to lean over them just to see where we were. Then, glory be, from Salt Lake City the plane had forward wings, my seat to the rear, but it was dark. The last time that I was in a plane was in 1951. One of them had seats, or rather a bench along the sides with straps for seat belts. The other the same year was a two- motor jobby, I believe a DC 3 . There was quite a difference as I remember. That was a day or two ago. Then, too, maybe the spirits may come back to haunt me. During the Korean Conflict, I was part of an anti-aircraft unit, the only plane that we eve'r shot down was a jet.
