experience and periodic classes over
a period of time. The results will be a

After graduation in June, he mar
ried in July. He and his wife live in
Redmond. She attends college and he
works full-time as a Dentist.
About four years ago Andrew
saw the opening of the Health and
Wellness Center and said, "There will
be a job for me there when I get out
of school." He has been employed for
three months.
Kaci Solt arrived a week later
than Andrew to work full-time. She
comes to us from Boise, Idaho. This
is a central location for her because
she has family in the surrounding
states.
Kaci received her education from
the Dental School in Kansas City. She
is also a recent graduate.
"I'm really enjoying it here. We
want everyone to know we're here
and ready to work," concludes Kaci.

Great American Smokeout
Thursday November 16th.
In inconjuction with the
smokeout the Community Health
Education Team is giving two kick
scooters as grand prizes to a boy and
girl from the Warm Springs Elemen
tary School on the 16th. The draw
ing will be held at 3:00 p.m. and an
nounced over the intercom.
To qualify for the drawing the
kids had to return a Pledge form
signed by ParentsGuardian and
themselves with certain criteria. No
tobacco use, respecting parents and
teachers, no drug or alcohol use, go
to school everyday... The parents also
have to sign the Pledge form with
similar requirements. The students
also have to be in attendance on the
16th in order to win. The class the
winners are drawn from will also win
prizes, so the more returned Pledges
the better the chance the class will
have of winning additional prizes.
Experts say the
best way to quit
is to pick one day
and then toss all
your cigarettes
out.
Veteran's Day Observed in Warm
prepared by the auxiliary and
other helpers.
At the longhouse before the
dinner was served everyone
gathered in the hall as all the
names were read of all the local
boys who have served in the
armed forces of the United
States, during war and those
who have served during peace
time. Also a list of all the men
and women who have been
employed here or associated
with the Tribes were also read.
Many of these are from the BIA,
IHS, and other employed here
on the reservation.
The list started with the
members of WW I, WW II, Korea,
Vietnam and Desert Storm and
all the other small violent action
such as Granada and so on.
The dinner enjoyed by all
and was well taken by everyone,
with the Salmon, deer, elk, with
all the extras, a meal fit for just
about anyone.
After the dinner was served
and all the speeches given the
floor was prepared for the first
Grand Entry, with the Veterans
as the kick-off of the pow-wow.
As the Veterans with the colors
entered followed by all the
dancers made the entry which
was a sight to be seen. There
cleaned. The shop is cleaned and or-
!:anized everyday. Our team is
riendly and waiting to serve you.
And best of all, our items are very
affordable compared to other similar
shops. This shop is here to serve the
community needs. So come in to your
community shop and support this fan
tastic effort.
We will gladly take usable do
nations which others can benefit
from so all those clothes and house
hold things, you're not using any
more, please think of us as a place
you can bring them to. Donations can
be taken to the Workforce Develop
ment Dept. on the corner of campus,
2101 Wasco Street between 8:00 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m. The phone number at the
shop is 553-2287. We are open for
your shopping convenience Wednes

children's clothes, teen clothes, men

ter clothing out right now.
The Dollar N' Sense Thrift Shop
is actually planned in three phases:
Phase I clothing; Phase II basic house
hold items; Phase HI used furniture
and appliances. Each phase will train
another Tribal Member to operate as
a small business shop. So, for now,
we are focusing primarily on Phase
I. If we get the community and tribal
leadership support needed, we may
be able to expand into Madras some
where down the road. With the eco
nomically challenging times, an ef
fort like this ought to do well. You
can support the shop by providing
donations and or shopping at this
worthy shop.
Smokeout, November 16
ON THURSDAY, in conjunc
tion with the American Cancer
Society's Great American Smokeout,
people all across the country will take
a shot at kicking the habit. Each year,
according to the ACS, more people
try to quit smoking during the
Smokeout than on any other day of
the year, including New Year's.
Last year, nearly 9 million
people participated in Smokeout ac
l tivities, which ranged from encour
aging smokers to quit to preventing
young people from starting, accord
ing to the ACS.
And this year, the society has
created a consumer guide that details
the various methods and resources
available to people who want to quit.
It's called, "Set Yourself Free," and
is available by calling the ACS (800-ACS-2345).
Reasons to quit
Many smokers are driven to quit
because of health concerns, says Jesse
J. Tepper, a New York psychologist
in private practice who specializes in
smoking cessation and is co-chair of
the American Cancer Society's to
bacco control team.
From head to toe, cigarette
smoke wreaks havoc with the body,
Tepper says. Not only responsible for
many cases of lung cancer and em
physema, the tars and other chemi
cals inhaled with cigarette smoke can
; were many, many dancers both
men and women alike. Men's
Fancy dancers, the Grass
dancers, the Traditional dancers
and the women also had the
Fancy dancers, the Jingle
dancers, and the Traditional
dancers. All participants of men,
women, children of all ages
made it a grand sight.
After the colors were posted
the dancing contests got under
1 way starting with the tiny tots,
both boys and girls, and each
category got a little older as the
contests went along. Sometimes
it makes people wonder how
one can judge contests such as
this as all the dancers do such a
fine job and are very good
dancers. Just a flip of a coin
could determine the winner in
some contests as all do such a
fine job.
At the end of each perfor
mance the colors re retrieved for
the night and the Grand Entry
starts another day before the
contests begin.
There were gatherings all
across the country observing
Veterans day, with parades,
bands, and dinners, as this is
the day everyone respects the
Veterans for what they have
done and went trough during

State-by-state smoking rates
Percentage of adults who smoke,
according to a 1999 survey by the
Centers for Disease Control and Pre
vention. Beyond this, cigarette smoke has
been linked to an increase in malig
nancies throughout the body, includ
ing cancers of the uterus, cervix and
bladder. j '
But even in the face of such omi
nous threats, many people can't give
up smoking's mood-altering effects.
A puff of nicotine-loaded smoke can
banish depression, take the edge off
anxiety or perk up an otherwise bor
ing moment, Tepper explains.
"Part of my task is to assist
people in developing equally satisfy
ing, but less harmful, alternatives in
dealing with troublesome internal
states," he says.
The Smokeout may be the per
fect opportunity to kick the habit.
Experts say the best way to quit is to
pick one day and then toss all your
cigarettes out. You're far more likely
to succeed if you go cold turkey than
if you try to gradually cut back. An
other important tip: enlist the help of
friends and family for support. .
You should also spend some time
thinking about situations that might

be cues to smoking. For example, if
you always smoke after a meal, plan
to do something else instead.
If you think you'll miss the feel
ing of the cigarette in your mouth,
find a replacement, such as gum, hard
candy or carrot or celery sticks.
And if you're going to go it on
your own, you might want to investi
gate the manuals, brochures and au
diotapes offered by the American
Lung Association.
A stop smoking arsenal
In addition to counseling and
self-help aids, there are now a vari
ety of medications designed to ease
the transition to smoke-free living for
smokers committed to quitting.
From nicotine gums, patches and
inhalers to the anti-depressant drug
Zyban, there is a plethora of medica
tions that promise to increase the
number of people who ultimately suc
ceed in breaking free of a drug that
many say is more addictive than
heroin.
About 10 percent to 12 percent
of people succeed in quitting without
any assistance the "cold turkey"
approach, says Jack E. Fincham, dean
and professor of the University of
Kansas School of Pharmacy in
Lawrence. But that number doubles
to 20 percent or 25 percent when
people use a nicotine replacement
product, he says.
