Smith honored for 30-year
career in public service

Mariann Smith knew her co
workers in the pharmacy at the
Indian Health Services had or
dered something to honor her
30-year civil service career, but
she didn't know when it would
arrive.
She was surprised when her
co-workers presented her with
a clock affixed to a clock Thurs
day afternoon in appreciation of
her service.
"I knew about it (Wednes
day)," she said. "They said they'd
ordered it. Twenty-four hours is
Great time
(By the CHET, the Warm Springs
Community Heatjy Education Team)
This month is a great time to
make a change to better your
health.
There are resources all with
in the community to help you
get that start. Here are a few
things that you might want to
use to help you get started.
There's the ongoing nutrition
information and classes, the
November Fitness Challenge,
the morning and weekend wa
ter aerobic class at Kah-nee-tah,
and this month is also the Great
American Smoke Out on No
vember 18.
There are many reasons to
become a livelier person with a
positive outlook on your life.
You may have grandchildren
and children or you may just feel
you need a change. If you smoke
and know the circumstances
why do you keep smoking?
If you eat unhealthy foods
and don't exercise and know
what can happen, then why keep
doing the same unhealthy habit?
Change takes time to accept
but if you set your mind to any
thing you want to do, it will be a
lot easier.
Have a plan, set some reach
able goals until you know you
are well on your way to becom
ing the person you really want
to be.
You may have heard or said
this saying before, "I wish I
could be the same size as I was
in high school."

pretty good."
Smith, who has been a phar
macy technician for 10 years,
has worked for Indian Health
Services since 1980.
Prior to that, she worked for
the U.S. Army Corps of Engi
neers, working with dam and
flood control, and for the In
ternal Revenue Service in Port
land. Working for the IRS, she said
her job included filed liens and
penalties against certain taxpay
ers. "And they weren't nice let
ters," she said.
to make a
Only if it was possible, right?
These possibilities are up to you.
Remember you are in control.
If you want to quit smoking
this month then start to set you
mind to quitting. Start to limit
the number of cigarettes you
smoke.
If you're currently smoking
10 per day, then try to reduce
that number to 8 by the end of
the week. The next week reduce
that amount another two or
three cigarettes. Keep this going
until your quit date arrives. You
are gradually getting your body
familiar to the change that's tak
ing place.
If you haven't ran a mara
thon in the past ten years, why
would you get up tomorrow
morning and try to run a mara
thon? Now we all know that would
be hard to accomplish. It might
be easier if you would gradually
work up to running that distance
slowly getting your body used to
the distance. Use this example
for smoking cigarettes or any
physical change you are going
to put your body through such
as your exercise or eating hab
its. Remember, small portions
will get you on the right track.
Limited portions of food, small
amount of exercise and fewer
cigarettes is a better way to start
until you get used to that change.
Remember, you don't have
to go alone, pick a family mem
ber or a close friend to support

When she began working at
the reservation, she started
working in contract health,
moved on to medical records
and then the pharmacy.
Smith said she likes the
people she works with, and said
the biggest change she's seen
working for IHS is the use of
technology now.
"You used to hand-write ev
erything," she said.
"Now everything's on com
puter." Smith, who lives at Sidwalter,
insists she's "too young to retire."
