c Page 8 September 13,1985 } Cavities...why so many? by Sandy Boers , IHS Dental Hygienist Did you ever wonder what our ancient ancestors did when they had a cavity? One would think that they certainly had a lot of cavities because there were no dentists around to take care of them. Maybe they went to their village healer for help or pulled out their own teeth. Well, the fact of the m atter is that ancient people just didn’t get cavities. When these people had toothaches, it was because they had either broken teeth or teeth that w ere w o rn down. What happened? Why do we get so many cavities now? The answer is diet? O ur ances tors just didn’t .eat like we do today. All their foods were nat ural and they only ate as much as their bodies needed? Their diets did not include processed fo o d s th a t co n tain e d large am ounts of sugar or salt like our diets do today. Many of us have developed health problems that are unrelated to diet. One of these problems has been den tal cavities. Cavities can be traced to one element of our diet. T hat’s sugar. Most people know that sugar causes cavities but either (don’t Want to reduce the sugar in their diet or don’t know how to reduce it. I ’m going to give you a few suggestions that work for me. At the grocery store: Let’s say that you are at Safeway doing your weekly shopping. You’ve gotten all the things you know your family likes and you’re ready to go to the check-out stand. Stop a minute and look at ydUr cart and think. Does your family really need three cases of Classic Coke, two cans . of Hi-C, a bag of caramel candy and that big box of Stiper Sugar Crisp? What can you get instead? How about substituting the cans of Hi-C for a couple of bottles of fruit juice? Trade in acouple of the cases of soda pop for sugar-free soda or lemonade. Maybe you could really go crazy and give your family water to drink? Get rid of the caramels and pick up some fresh fruit, cheese or a big bag of popcorn. Put back the sweetened cereal and pick up something with lit tle or no sugar. Even if you break down and add a little sugar to the unsweetened cereal, you’re still getting a lot less sugar that way. (Cheaper too.) Remember, if the sugary stuff doesn’t get into the house to begin with, it won’t be eaten there, Now you’re ready for the check-out. On the way out, you might want to sto p and pick up a free copy of “Eat Right and Smile Bright” at Safeway^ nutri tion display. At home or at work: Are you one of these people that has to add about half a cup of sugar to their tea or coffee to make it taste good? Try some sugarle'ss flavored coffee or herbal tea. If yoti have a snack during break, make it fruit o r popcorn. Does your group raid the refrigeratof the minute they walk through the door? Keep a plate of apples, carrot and celery sticks, grapes, bananas, cheese and crackers, or anything that’s naturally sweet and good in the refrigerator. It really satisfies. If you must eat sugary things, eat them at meal time. (Remember to brush after wards!) At school: This really is a problem. I guess there’s no way to keep kids from sneaking off after school to buy a candy bar or soda. The only answer to this is to teach our kids the impor tance of cutting down on sweets. W hat’s learned in school needs tQ be reinforced at home. Only then will our kids be able to make intelligent decisions about their diets. All of this suggests that cavi ties can be controlled by diet alone. Believe it or not, it’s true. But, if you’re not willing to cut out all the sugar in your diet, at least cut down. Less sugar means fewer cavities. In addition, if you keep up good brushing and flossing habits, who knows? You may not get any cavities in spite of what you eat! Reservation cone harvest completed Cone harvest completed on the W arm Springs reservation was reported by Forestry De- velopment officer Bill Dònaghu reservation concentrating mostly Crews were in the woods on ponderosa pine. The nob» gatheringconçsthroughout the fir cones come from the MV. Wilson area. Doug fir cones were gathered in a limited amount because of the bud worm infes- tation throughout the Northwest. All cone harvesting was done under the chjection of K urt Wiedenmann who is the tree improvement officer here for the past two years. He was assisted by Ray Moody, a tribal forestry trainee. The cone crews have been gathering cones since August 21 up until last Friday? September 6. At the presertt time the cones are being sorted out at the forestry development center on trite north side of the industrial park and they will remain there for a short time to rid all moisture before being shipped to Cottage Grove, Oregon for further process which the^ will eventually become seedlings for replanting. ' There will be some planting done here in designated areas under the direction of Wieden- Spilyay Tymoo photo by M ille r tllânn and M oody. In the M t. Wilson area, noble fir cones perched high toward the tops o f the trees on a bright sunny day. The M t. Wilson area is where all the noble fir cones were harvested. Blend baby’s food New parents: Baby's food need not break your budget- It aou have a baby and buy jars of ready-to-eat baby food. u h i know they’re not cheap. And some contain sugars, salt and starches your baby doesn’t need You can save 50 percent or more o'n the cost ot baby food by preparing the baby's fneals when you prepare your Own. All you do is take what’s left over, put it in a uleuuer. tOod processor or food mill. Pop the trays in the freeze1!, then transler cubes to freezer bags and use as needed. Foods will keep for about two months. Savings? Here's an example: A small jar of ready-to-eat string-beans cost about 50c. Cooked, pureed and frozen, you'd have enough for, six or more meals. And most important, you control,the ingre dients. Group discusses proposed sales The Timber Committee and the forestry technicians guided a to u r on future timber sales here on the Warm Springs Reser vation on August 29 and 30 with a group of nearly 50 parti cipants. The areas set for discussion were the Bunch Grass/ Big Springs area, Dry Creek Timber Sale, Muddy Run Logging unit, the Antoken Logging Unit and the Butte Creek Logging Unit. The purpose and need for action: the Bureau of Indian Affairs proposes to harvest tithber from these logging units all lo cated on the north and northw estern part o f the reservation. The proposed actions primary purpose is td provide income and employment for the Con- federated T ribes and trib al member and to bring portions of the timber areas under manage- ent. Along with timber land man agement there were other con- tern s expressed such as the protection of the fi§h and wild- life w ithin/he boundaries of the reservation. Natural Resources expressed their main concern in certain areas for the protection tion of the big game animals, Some proposed sale areas would destroy the natural habitat and expose the big game to the pub lie by building logging roads into the areas. Big game take shelter in some of these areas because there has been no dis- t u r b a n c e by h u m a n s, The logging activity would surely disturb the big game and cause them to leave, especially the elk. „ , Studies show a large area covered by big game migration includes aIl parts, o f the timberlands of the reservation, Buffer 20nes are needcd along the waterways for the protec tion of fish that are migrating back to their spawning grounds. Heavy equipment operation along river and stream banks could be very destructful if precautions are not taken for the protection of spawning beds for the fish. T here .were no liv esto ck representatives along to vpice their concerns for grazing in these areas. Each logging unit needs cer tain typés and methods of log ging.. Steep and rough terrain would require cable logging in most cases, where as some areas would require cat and rubber tireskidders for select logging. Clearcuts, slash piling, burning and reseeding. Selective logging, logging by leaving overstory for natural seedlings. Each method used in each area there is some sort of timber management plan. The two-day tour was quite a success for the group especially those who made the tour and expressed their opinions.

Locals in first place Continued from page 6 points they have thus far totaled up for the season. The goal of the team was to earn a berth in th e ’ n a tio n a l fin a ls fo r W HRAA and to win it. In past years, the finals have ben held in M ontana with the top teams from the seven regional com peting for the top honor. This year there wil not be a finals held but the team has earned more points then any other in the assoication and unoffically they are the top team.They have sewed up the championship title for the Timber division (the Northwest) and with Pendleton being the last show at this time there is not any way any other team could catch them, accord ing to Yazzie; Yazzie went on to state with Jason, as known as the Boss, in school and playing football the team will not start the 1986 sea son this fall. They will probably start in /he spring. They were able to “pull it out of the bag” this season and it is possible again.

A ■ »w i r f t ; * carefully. “It is better to be safe than sorry.;” Abuse has becorhè a major issue in the United States. It can no longer be ignored. Recent studies show at least one out of every four girls and one out of every six to eight boys are sexu ally molested by the age of 18. One of the ways to prevent; and intervene sexual abuse of children is to increase aware ness and provide some under standing of the problem.
