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.
In w ine, s u lfu r d io xide , an
insecticide.
Egg whites to clarify the
beverage.
Then poly vinyl poly pro.
clarifies and preserves the wine. This is
the product that we clean the plastic
upholstery in our autos and furniture.
Hard liquors are colored with
carmei. the.¡GCSTRfSj
de^oea, creme
dem int, etc.-are simulated cream, contains
some hydrogenated soy bean oil, preserved
with BHA BTA sodium caseriate. Some of
the other;; additives are phosphate, and
sodium silicaluminate. Without a chemical
dictionary I have no idea what these are or
what they do, they do not sound too
appetizing.

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.
