Participants are asked to bring contributions to the potluck picnic lunch, and stay to enjoy the Legislative update Budget cuts expected With the Tribe's 1994 budget process just beginning, the federal government is already looking to 1995. In fact, government agencies have been directed to reduce their discretionary budgets by ten percent in order to be able to "fund the President's investment initiatives within the budget caps" set by the Reconciliation bill. Those discre tionary programs are those that are no longer a high priority, are of questionable effectiveness or which other levels of government could perform. Cost savings form federal program consolidation or restructur ing are also a consideration. Ten percent reductions applied to the BIA and IHS would be in the $300 million range, with BIA taking a $140 million cut and IHS taking a $160 million cut. A Senate commit ting on Indian Affairs Oversight hearing on the 95 budget for BIA and IHS will probably be held sometime this month as tribal governments express increasing concern over po tential reduction recommendations by budget staff.

Industrialized food provides poor diet Over fifty people from the com munity were a part of the first presen tation about the effects of industrial ized food on their diet presented by Jolene Estimo, Jan & Rainier Billingsly. There were several con cerns and questions that arose about diabetes, arthritis and many other health related illnesses. Many of the Warm Springs youth study students made commitments toward eating and drinking more healthy foods. The teenagers were able to sec the differ ence between what their ancestors had eaten and the food choices now available. "It was interesting to learn about processed foods, what is missing in those foods and the supplements that are available" commented Ted Barney of Warm Springs. "I think it would be nice for people to see the water presentation. Also it's inter esting that people are so into fitness and exercise but don't really think about nutrition" said Dorothea Barney. It is no surprise that diabetes and arthritis were the most commonly found diseases in the community. We would like to see more people prevent these and less medication. Please fill out the following ques tionnaire and bring your questions to our talk on Thursday, September 9, 12:00 noon and 5:30 p.m. at the OSU Extension office located in the old boy's dorm next to the grade school.
