P3ge 6 Spilyqy Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon April 17. 2003 Tohet setting the pace By Dave McMechan Spilyay Tymoo Melinda Frank Tohet con siders exercise to be of great importance in her life. Exercising, such as walk ing, or riding a bike, "Is a good way to pray," said Tohet. "And it helps unload a lot of my concerns to the Lord. It's not healthy to carry stress around," said Tohet. "I like how I feel now since I exer cise daily." Tohet walks 4.2 miles on weekends and holidays. She rides an exercise bike twice daily, Monday through Friday at the Community Center. She rides five miles during her lunch hour, and six miles in the evenings. She has been exercising regularly for the past three years. Tohet just recently took up riding the exercise bike. She is motivated to ex ercise by a desire to feel bet ter about herself. It is important for her to feel good, because her job can be challenging. She is a teacher at the Early Child hood Education Center. She has been with ECE for the past 16 years. Of her exercise program Tohet said, "I enjoy walking out in the country more than 1 I v v..-,...- i ' i , t Melinda Frank Tohet Dave McMechanSpilyay on the treadmill, I get to spend time sharing my burdens with the Lord and asking for strength and direction." Tohet has seen difficult times in her life, "and He has given me the strength to face them and continue on." The only things that might prevent Tohet from exercising daily are being sick, or having too much else to do. "I don't want to call pow wows a stumbling block, but during some weekends I go to powwows, rodeos and horse racing." Tohet has encouraging words for anyone consider ing taking up an exercise rou tine. "If you feel overweight, depressed or have a lot of stress concerns," she said, "then try walking."

Boxers compete at Warm Springs By Austin Greene Boxing coach 1 The Battle on the Rez, March 29, 2003, is over. The boxing clubs who came were local and from a distance. The Aztec Warriors Boxing Club of Trenton, Wash., traveled the most miles to compete. The All American Boxing Club of Burns came a good distance too. But I think maybe they all traveled a long ways to put on a show for the Warm Springs box ing fans. It's fun to do sports, but it's even more fun and exciting when there is a good noisey crowd having a good time. First, let's thank the fight doctor who always shows his pleasure to our great commu nity. Dr. Leland Beamer, M.D. "I like boxing. It's healthy, and healthy is good," he said.
