Tohet
setting
the pace
By Dave McMechan

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

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.
We had 15 matches, 60
pounds to 180 pounds, includ
ing 12 different clubs.
Who boxed and who won:
60-pounds winner, William
Chapman, Grand Ave., defeated
Efrain Estado, Beav. PAL. 70
pounds winner Cory Hill, Knott
St., defeated Omar Villa, Cen
tral Oregon.
