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.
