Edwardene The N atural Resources D e partm ent has been responsible fo r d istrib u tio n o f h atch ery clipped salmon to tribal mem bers. W hy are we the people not consistently receiving any? W ho is responsible? M ost o f us have no fishing sites anymore. N o vehicles or gas. We depend on these fish. Plain and simple the state and the tribes have a com pact that should guarantee fish for the people from hatcheries around the state. It’s up to the employees o f the tribe to follow through. Co lum bia R iver cerem onial fish supplem ent cultural and tradi tional needs for the tribes. There is no extreme shortage o f fish. T h e c o u n t n u m bers over the dams on the Columbia prove that. We do n o t w a n t to h e a r about smoked fish products for sale thro u g h the N atu ral Re sources D ep artm en t. I t does not benefit our households any way. Simply from this day forward distribute to us the people the salmon equally. Sincerely, Joseph Smith.

I realize that people are in the business to make money, b u t it’s being done at the expense o f our people. There are so many dif ferent things we can list that will make this a true statement. You already know w hat you are. I f you don’t — you don’t care for your family members. W hen we go to the clinic, we see posters addressing domestic violence and phone numbers to call. W hat good does it do if the victim refuses assistance just to protect the offender? The tribal court should enforce the law to its limit. N one o f us need to live in fear. W here o r w hen does it end? I wish I had all the answers. In conclusion, we all need a safer comm unity. A ccep t the fact o f being an alcoholic or substance abuser and get treat ment. Think o f the price your loved ones pay as a result o f your use. D o n ’t let alcohol or any o th er m ind altering sub stance ruin your life.

Many o f us have accepted the fact that we are alcoholics. It’s a shame we don’t w ant to admit it in the first place, but we have to start someplace and time. Each family can tell their own story about how alcohol or substances have affected their lives.

Myths and facts about diabetes By Elsie Howard Q u e stio n : D o h o u se h o ld chores count as exercise? Answer: Yes and no. Have you ever raced around the house to get the dusting and vacuuming done before guests arrive, and then found you’re o u t o f energy? Have you n o ticed your blood glucose level gets low whenever you m ow the lawn? T he U.S. Surgeon G eneral suggests 30 minutes o f m oder ate physical activity at least five days per week. M oderate inten sity is anything that raises your heart rate. Thirty minutes sounds like a lot, but you don’t have to do it all at once. You can reach the 30 m inutes by exercising three different times o f ten m inutes o f exercise (or tw o 15 m in utes). I f you chores increase your heart rate for ten m inutes or more, you can count it toward your exercise goal. M ow ing your law n w ith a push mower, moving furniture w hen you vacuum , chopping w ood and washing the floor on your hands and knees are all good examples o f m oderate in tensity exercise. Light dusting, washing dishes, and ironing are considered to be lig h t in ten sity activities and w ould n o t count tow ard your daily activity minutes.
