Greetings! My name is Charlene Holycross
the new USDA Director. I am the one. that's going to
try to keep up with what Margo Norton has done as
Director. I've got my work cut out for me. Todd
Mason is my right hand man and still USDA Clerk.
Together we will get through this tough time of
adjustments.
I would like to thank Bev Owens, Salem
CHR. She cooked Com and Bean Medley for the

Merritt for the Honey balls that she made. Everyone
that tried both of these recipes liked them. Thanks
again Bev and Susie, great job! USDA has chosen
April as Diabetes Month. Diabetes is a common
disease among Indian People.
How to know if you have diabetes, the
warning signs are:
*constant thirst *tiredness
*weight loss *ffequent urination “"constant hunger
♦weakness. If you have these symptoms go see a
doctor right away. If you have diabetes, you need to
eat less sugar, eat less fat, eat more fiber and eat less
salt. People with diabetes need to eat a variety of
foods, exercise regularly, and, in certain cases, take
medication. Overweight people need to eat the right
foods and exercise to lose weight. If you do not
control diabetes, it may lead to other health problems
such as heart disease, high blood -pressure,
infections, kidney disease, stroke or blindness.
