Of the 454 people surveyed, 324

everyone. The majority of people
that wanted legislation for everyone,
said that the implementation tech
nique that they preferred was a tran

would be issued for a period of time,
say 1-3 months, and then not wearing
seat belts would issued fines after
that time.

about what they are doing at home.
"One boy tells me about their horses,"
Cardenas shares. They share about
their hobbies, their birthdays gifts
and what they do at home.
Other volunteer work she does is
in her son Gerald's classroom.
Cardenas is a homemaker. She
has a son, Gerald Cardenas, Jr, who
is in the third grade. Her husband,
Gerald Cardenas, Sr., is employed at
Warm Springs Forest Products.
Before becoming a homemaker '
Cardenas had a variety of jobs. Her
first job was baby-sitting, then she
worked at Alice's Restaurant, she
worked in housekeeping at Kah-Nee-Ta
and her last job was at the Apparel
Industries.
Her hobbies are beadwork and
crocheting yarn belts.
Being involved with the SMART
Program since the beginning
Cardenas has seen many readers
come and go. Tribal departments send
employees to the reading program.
Since November Salmon Corps
members have become reliable
readers to the program. Readers who
show for a few times then quit are
missed and are encouraged to return
to the program.
Readers who return continually
developed relationships with the
children and they look forward to
seeing their reading partner. ,
The books most popular with
children are "Clifford," "Franklin,"
and "Curious George." Each of these
books has an adventure, Clifford, .
Franklin or George could go
shopping, go to a birthday party, ride ,
a bike or even be bossy. They teach
a story about subjects and learning
new things. j

Exercise and Heart Rate
Any activity that gets your
heart pounding and your lungs
breathing harder gives your
cardiovascular system a workout.
When you are sitting still, your
heart pumps about 65 times a
minute, pushing roughly one
gallon of blood around your body.
But during intense bursts of
exercise, your heart can beat up to
200 times and pump six gallons of
blood per minute.
During exercise, muscles
demand more oxygen. As your
lungs work to provide it, your
heart is forced to move blood
faster so that your muscles can

implementation method was a tran
sition. Comments made by people
in this category were: "People that
not have the kids in safety seats
should have to go to counseling".
"Have the law enforced only by the
Tribal Police, not the state". "Of
fenders should have to attend a sup
port group of survivors of acci
dents". Forty-eight people or 11 fa
vored legislation for children 0-16.
Transition was again the favored
implementation method. A couple
of people stated that they only fa
vored legislation to ages twelve.
Some people also stated that they
wanted warnings with no fines
given.
A total of 23 of the 454 people of
5 did not favor legislation of any
kind. Some of the reasons given
were that "it violates my rights". "I
would favor seat belt legislation in
areas where the speed limit is greater
than 35 miles per hour". "I don't
favor legislation because there isn't
anyone to enforce it and it would
just be another law". "Would favor
legislation if there was a way to
have the baby boards".
One percent of the people sur
veyed did not have an opinion or
were undecided at this point.
There are several educational ac
tivities being planned on the reser
vation. On January 29, a car seat
clinic will be held at the Early Child
hood Center. The Community
Health Education Team and Warm
Springs Fire and Safety will also be
doing a number of seat belt observa
tional surveys in the upcoming
months. The Warm Springs Elemen

with the seat belts and safety seats.

Arteries and Heart
Keeping your circulatory
system (heart, lungs, veins,
arteries) in shape by regular
exercise is one of the best ways to
avoid heart disease, particularly
among non-smokers who eat a
low-fat diet.
Exercise also seems to lower
cholesterol levels. One study
showed that people who had
heart disease that ate a low-fat
diet, did a cardiovascular exercise
and stress reduction techniques
were shown to result in clearer
arteries for most participants.
So, exercise may not only
prevent heart disease, but also
reverse it. If you can't imagine a
clogged artery and the stress it
puts on your heart, imagine a
clogged sink or bath tub, water
doesn't travel through the drain
as easy. With you heart, it would
have to work harder to get blood
and over time, your heart
becomes weak, especially without
exercise.
