/ Spílygy Tymoo February 1 Pgge 3 Madison Laundry Popular ‘biggest loser’ contest begins next week By Leslie Mitts Spilyay Tymoo It’s tirqe to find out who can drop excess pounds with an an nual weight loss challenge. The “Biggest Loser in Warm Springs Challenge” is set to be gin Feb. 5. This year the challenge is undergoing a few changes—in addition to having weekly weigh- ins available, participants can also attend educational sessions. The 12-week challenge will run from Feb. 5 until April 27. This is the third year of the competition, according to Com munity Wellness Coordinator Carloyn Harvey. Men and women compete in separate divisions, Harvey said, because men and women lose weight differently. In order to participate, a $10 entry fee is required. However, the competition is non-profit—meaning that all the entry fees are put into a pool for the winning competitors. The contest is open to any one 18 years'or older who lives or works in the Warm Springs community. Weekly weigh-ins and educa tional session will take place on Mondays from 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. Raffle prizes will be available at the educational sessions, Harvey said, and they already have prizes like a free massage and 18 free holes o f go lf at Kah-Nee-Ta. The competition is aimed at giving participants a jump-start on weight loss, Harvey said, as well as educating them about exercise, nutrition and motiva tion. Plus, Harvey said, the com petitive aspect is helpful for cer tain individuals. “Some people just need com petition,” she explained. M easurem ents m ust be taken at the beginning and the end of the challenge, and com petitors are asked to wear a short-sleeved t-shirt when they come in to be measured. Beginning measurements will be taken between Feb. 5 and Feb. 9 between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. daily. Measurements will be taken at the clinic in Pod A— competitors just need to go to the Community Health window and ask to be measured. No appointment is necessary. Ending measurements will be taken between April 30 and May 4 at the same location and dur ing the same times. All com petitors receive a sweatshirt for participating, but Education is theme of Native student art contest The Office of Indian Edu cation of the U.S. Department of Education is holding its third Native American Student Art Competition. The theme o f the competition is Tiducation: A Gift Without Boundaries. The competition celebrates the values and documents the successes of education in Indian communities, and is open to Am erican Indian students in grades pre-k through 12. By supporting this competi tion the Office of Indian Edu cation hopes to inspire students to think about the connection between their education and their culture. The 2006 competition, The Power to Dream, The Power to Achieve, generated entries from over 32 states including Alaska. In recognition o f the stu dents’ visions of their education and culture along with their ar tistic talents the winning works were exhibited at the U.S. De partm ent o f E ducation, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, the E ducational Testing Service cam pus, and the Chicago Children’s Museum. The entries for the 2007 Native American Student Art Competition should relate to the new theme, Education: A Gift Without Boundaries, and reflect the promise and importance of pursuing an education for Na tive youth. Submissionss will be judged in six different grade levels, and prizes will be awarded to first, second and third place winners in each of these categories. The deadline for subm issions is March 14. Due to an overwhelming re sponse in 2006, a change in the rules requires that a student reg ister their entry online or over the phone prior to submitting it.
