Early detection and proper treatment increase your chances for surviving cancer. Early detection is most likely if you: A. Know the warning signs for cancer and report any of these warn ing signs to your doctor if they occur. B. Do regular self-examination such as monthly breast self examina tion if you are a woman, and a monthly testicular self exam if you are a man. C. Look at yourself in a mirror for any noticeable changes in warts or moles or for any wounds that have not healed. Ask your doctor to perforin rou tine tests that can help detect early signs of cancer, i.e. pap tests, breast exams and mamogrands for women, (note though uncommon, men can also get breast cancer. Men should Missing ask their doctor for signs to look for). Other tests include ones for colorectal abnormalities: sigmoidoscopy, digi tal rectal exam, and stool blood test. If and when cancer is diagnosed treatment will depend on the type of cancer present, the stage it is in, and your body's response to treatment. Surgery to remove the cancerous tumor(s) and clear any obstruction to vital passageways caused by the can cer. Radiation therapy. Chemotherapy. Possibly immunotherapy. Prevention: Moreover, measures can be taken to lower the risk for certain forms of cancer. Dietary Measures: Reduce the intake of total dietary fat to no more than 30 of total calories and reduce the intake of satu rated fat to less than 10 of total calories. Eat more (fresh) fruits and veg etables, and whole grains, especially: Broccoli and other cabbage family vegetables including cabbage and brussel sprouts.

Deep yellow-orange fruits and vegetables such as cantaloupe, peaches, tomatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash and very dark green vegetables like spin ach, greens and broccoli for their IAAA I beta carotene content. Strawberries, citrus fruits, broccoli and green pep pers for vitamin C. Whole grain breads, cereals, fresh fruits and vegetables and legumes for their dietary fiber content. Consume salt-cured, picked and smoked foods only in moderation. Lifestyle measures: Do not smoke, use tobacco prod ucts or inhale second hand smoke. Limit your exposure to known carcinogens such as asbestos, radon, and other workplace chemicals as well as pesticides and herbicides. Have x-rays only when neces sary: Limit your exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (uv) rays, sun lamps and tanning booths.

Well, according to the record, 34 interested participants were not. The 1998 Tim ber Tour went rather well given the somewhat gloomy climatic condi tions. The Department of Forestry, in coordination with theTimberCom mittee, presented and discussed vari ous management activities and phi losophies as a group. . Practicing forest management ac tivities that enhance the productivity and growth of our working forests was a theme that the group seemed most attracted to. Most of the discus sions centered around the notion of sustainable forest management. Es sentially, Forestry shared that sus tainable forest management is the management of forests to meet the needs of the present without compro mising the ability of future genera tions to meet their own needs. This is accomplished by practicing a land stewardship ethic that integrates the growing, nurturing and harvesting of trees for useful products with the conservation of other resources soil, air, water, flora, wildlife and fish habitat We visited our pine ground and discussed that within the last twenty or thirty years, new forces have com bined to provide perhaps the most significant benefit and challenge to the science of forestry and the tribes that has ever existed. These forces, which include new methods and tech niques that change and improve the f I ' t , " ' "S i ',4 K ' . I " ' . ' ...... rr:rnLS:':i 1 1 f 1 .

We were fortunate to stop at a site that was harvested 30 years ago on one side of the road and see what untreated stands looked like on the other side. In addition, we were treated to the latest in forest harvest technology with the "Tiny Thinnings" sale completed earlier this summer. We had a great look at some pro posed sites in the 1999 and 2000 timber sale areas and had good dis cussions on tribal and forest man agement objectives. Our last stop included talks about cultural re sources (huckleberries) and their in tegration into management and also the Warm Springs Sustainability project, a joint effort with the tribes and Oregon State University con cerning huckleberries. The Forest Manager, Bodie Shaw, felt it critical that Forestry capture the community's thoughts and com ments for the successful manage ment of our forest resources. The tour is one method, but he also men tioned public forums were needed for resource management and the community to gather and share addi tional information. Shaw also felt it necessary to raise the community's level of educational awareness when it comes to taking our resources into account for future generations; exer cising your voice for your grandchildren's grandchildren. He also mentioned that as we decrease our timber harvests, we as a tribal entity must look for other ways to supplement our income. It was ap parent to many that the Branch of Forestry has a long-term interest in the health of our people's forests and ecosystems. 9 a.m. 1:30 p.m. 3:30 p.m. 4:30 p.m. Thursday, October 8 Monday, October 12 9 a.m. 10:30 a.m. 1:30 p.m. 2 p.m. 3:30 p.m. 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, October 13 9 a.m. 4:30 p.m. To be scheduled Tribal Council Northwest Power Planning Council Erich Bloch Nat.
