National I ndian Safety Week
Safety stressed to reduce accidents, injuries
Beginning October 9 will be
National Indian Safety Week.
This is an annually recognized
week which was established
to promote a greater awareness
of safety in Indian communities
and to rèduce accidents and
ituuries.
Even though the effort to
prevent accidents and injuries
is a never-ending task, now is
the time to begin preparing
your home and environment to
be safe for your family and
friends.
Take a walk through your
home and around your yard to
look for ways in which you
could improve your family’s
environment and be more safe.
Getting hurt is never any fun.
Here are some ideas to help
you make your home and
property more safe:
1. Smoke Detectors—How
many of you have smoke
detectors in your home? These
little units are one of the most
valuable items to have as they
will warn you of heat, smoke
and fire early-on. M ore
importantly, they will warn you
when you are asleep. Just be
sure that when you purchase a
unit it Is equipped with a
battery or has a battery back
up system.
2. Fire Extinguisher—This
device is something you may
need quickly, but only once in a
great while. By having one of
these in your home, it will help
you to put out a fire before it
becomes too large. If you elect
not to have one in your home,
you may be subject to watching

Over 20 weigh in for
Chubby challenge-— — -
by Donna Behrend
While others were feasting at
lunch one day recently, a group
of determined and hopeful
“losers” met at the Warm
Springs Community Center to
d iscu ss the m ost recent
“Chubby Checkers” weight loss
contest.
To qualify for the contest,
each participant was required
to pay $20. Participants were
also presented with brief
e x p la n a tio n s o f p r o p e r
nutrition and physical exercise.’
Each perSon was weighed in
by A ssista n t C om m unity
Center Director Eva Montee
with the weight being verified
a n d r e c o r d e d by IH S
nutritionist Karen Gordon. On
October 14, one short month
after the initial weigh-in, each
participant will be weighed
again. The person losing the
most weight will win one-third
of the pot.
At the end of three months,
on December 14, participants
will once again weigh ih and the
biggest loser will take one-third
of the original pot. At the end
of six months, on March 14,
participants will again weigh
and the person with the biggest
weight loss will take the final
third of the pot. In other words,
lose big, win big, in more
“weighs” than one.
Newcomers to the contest
were Welcome, but September
23 was the last day to enroll in
this challenge. If enough are
in te re ste d , said M o n tee,
another challenge will be
conducted later. Rules for the
second contest will be the same.
For most effective and long-
lasting weight loss, it is
recommended that a person
lose no more than one to two
pounds a week. Anymore than
that can cause physical and/ or
psychological complications. It
was explained that one pound
of body fat contains 3,500
calories and to lose one pound
a week, a person must reduce
their daily food intake by 500
calories.
Not only must a person
reduce their calorie intake to
lose weight, but increased
physical activitiy helps to
condition the body. This
“Dynamic D uo” (improved
diet and increased exercise) is
the preferred. way to lose
Weight, said Montee.
The Chubby Checkers weight loss challenge drew over 20
contestants. Here, Norma Smith is weighed by Eva Montee and
Karen Gordon.
Gordon and Montee gave
several tips on weight loss.
G ordon has a phamphlet
available entitled “Nutrition
and Your Health” that is very
helpful to those interested not
only reducing but improving
their dietftoo. Also, Montee is
currently conducting several
exercise classes that provide
all-around body conditioning.
For more information, feel free
to contact Gordon or Montee.
F o r m any, m aintaining
weight loss is very difficult. But
through altering eating habits
a n d in c re a s in g p h y sic a l
activity, losing the weight and
maintaining that loss is made
easier. Not only does a person
feel better but they look better,
