Is the Hype, Hype?
"Hey, are you on another diet?
Looks like you have a different color
pill this month. Yeah ! I think this one
will work this time, it's green." The
chocolate diet shake didn ' t shake out,
the wonder pill did not seem to take
away fat but I did feel better and
more energetic. "You mean the one
you take and lose 30 lb. in 30 days."
Yeah, that one. Does this sound fa
miliar in your office cubical or the
gym locker room?
Many times we fall into a fad that
we think is the miracle cure for weight
loss. We fail to recognize that we
have different body structures and
types. Just like the different brands
of cars and trucks. If there were only
one brand of car, that took the same
kind of gas, had the same engine
parts, things may be easier. But, how
realistic would that be.
The same for all the body types
and sizes and how much fuel each
body needs to operate. For many
there are times that we much eat and
eat anything, right or wrong? How
much is to much, am I getting all the
vitamins, minerals and nutrition I
need? Are there times you wish you
didn't eat what you just ate?
How much is to much?
Let's look at some foods we eat
and what an ounce of that may be; 1
oz. sausage link: size of a shotgun
shell. 1 oz. cubed cheese: four place
dice. 12C ice cream: one tennis
ball. 1 Tablespoon dressing: 12 golf
ball. 1 tsp. butter: tip of thumb. 12C
cooked spaghetti: size of fist. 3 oz of
beef: deck of cards. 4 oz. dry spa
ghetti: size of a quarter. 12C mashed
potatoes: 12 an apple.
These are just naming a few foods
that may help you understand what
amount of foods a person may eat. Of
coarse we all eat more than we need
to. It becomes important to eat a
balance of required food that will
keep you full of energy and healthy.
Take steps to insure you don't eat
much proteins, fats and sugars. To
obtain proper amounts of your daily
requirements contact a certified nu
tritionist and keep things simple.
Understanding that a diet is foods
you eat, not pills you take, shakes
you drink or meals you skip can ease
the pressure of weight loss. A simple
blend of meals and moderate exer
cise can get you to a point of no
return, a no return to overweight.
Herb's natures calling
There are many companies and
independents who are arms and legs
for those big companies who adver
tise and sell natural Herbs. These
Herbs are natural all right. But do
you know what is what and where it
comes from? It's been long said to
eat natural foods and supplements,
that is the only safe way to go. Guess
what? There are limits of natural
Herbs and even vitamin that your
body needs You wonder what hap
pens if you overload on one herb. Is
that herb going to affect my heart,
liver, blood, brain, urine, the only
way to find out is to ask. Remember
to buy into something that sound to
good, could be. Flash back to the
wonder shake and the pills earlier
mentioned. If the ad said 30 pound in
30 days, and the 30 days did not start
until you took the pills for 15 days
and the amount of pills you have to
take is five in the morning, five at
noon and fifteen at bedtime. And
each time you had to drink 1 0 cups of
water. Of course you will lose weight
because you will be full of pills and
water there will be no room for food.
Become educated on things that may
affect you in anyway. All it takes is a
little time and patience. For more
information on herbs call the tribal
nutrition department.
23rd Annual National Indian Timber Symposium slated for Warm Springs-

said Theron Johnson, a member of
the symposium committee from
Warm Springs who will moderate
activities for the upcoming event.
"We'll also have a number of excel

anticipating a very good sympo
sium." Pre-symposium activities begin on

ITC Background
The National Indian Timber Sym
posium has only been held in Warm
Springs on one prior occasion (a 1986
celebration of the eventis 10th anni
versary), but the community has a
long history of involvement with the
conference and with the Intertribal
Timber Council (ITC).
The idea of forming a timber coun
cil came from Ken Smith, former
general manager and secretary-treasurer
for the Confederated Tribes of
Warm Springs. Smith and the former
manager of Finance and Natural Re
sources, Doug McClelland, were try
ing to develop this concept in the
mid-1970s when they attended a
meeting on forest management hosted
by the Bureau of Indian Affairs in
Gallup, New Mexico. The meeting
was informative, but Smith and
McClelland thought the format
needed to be expanded to include
additional agencies and members of
the private sector.
Back at home Smith spearheaded
an effort to formulate a regional com
mittee with members of the Warm
Springs, Yakama, Quinault and Neah
Bay tribes. All of the tribes were
facing similar problems and issues
related to forest management, and all
stood to benefit by gathering infor
mation from outside sources.
"We thought it would be great to
have something every year and we
decided to hold the first symposium
in Seattle," said Smith. "The first
meeting was rather informal, but it
went really well and when we asked
the people who attended if they would
like to organize, the response was
pretty much unanimous."
The Intertribal Timber Council
was formed soon thereafter and in
the years that followed it grew from
humble beginnings to a project of
national scope. Tribes from through
out the United States took notice and
quickly realized there was something
to be gained through an exchange of
information regarding sustainable
forestry, integrated resources plan
ning, timber industry trends and the
latest technologies.
"It started with a few Northwest
tribes with an interest in timber man
agement and grew from there," said
Smith. "We went out to find quality
people who could talk about issues
on the front burner for everyone and
the interest continued to grow."
Smith became the first ITC presi
dent and held that position until 1 98 1
when he was called to Washington
D.C. to served as assistant secretary
for Indian Affairs of the Interior
Department. In addition to summon
ing experts in the field of forest man
agement, Smith said a key to the
success of ITC and its annual sympo
sium was to involve tribal managers,
committees and councils in the dis
cussion, which placed participants at
all levels of forest management on
common ground.
"We brought people who work in
forestry day to day together with
decision-makers," said Smith. "It
became a place to educate people
about resources and how to better
manage them."

We will be sending you an up
dated news release in March, which

speaker. If you would like to send a
