The dream was set at the beginning of the year, when Aurolyn made it her New Year’s resolution to achieve Several feats. She wanted to Start a business blog, brush Up on her Ichishkiin skills with her grandniece, Kayla, learn t h e . songs o f the longhouse, do 60 sit-ups and 30 push-ups at least five times a week. Ultimately, she wanted to run the 5k in the mini marathon. A fter .receiving some frightening results following a routine physical, and after becoming separated from her h usband in D ecem ber, Aurolyn became determined. She used exercise to counter the stress in her life. “I set up the personal chal lenges for myself, mainly to be a role model to my girl, Kayla,” she said. “The stress seemed to bring on my child hood tonsillitis condition. In March, my tonsils were so enlarged that it was hard to sleep because I co u ld n ’t breathe. There isn’t any medi cation that cures this condi tion. As a result, in April I had to start over with running two miles and worked my way back up to 3.1 miles. That was the hardest part.” , Aurolyn found support at the Community Wellness Cen ter, where she became reac quainted with the tribal elders who are making exercise a priority in their lives. “We have excellent equip ment there to carry out my exercise regimen,” Aurolyn says. “I worked out on a regu lar basis with Uncle Lamont Brown, Harrison Davis, and Cecil Seyler. These elders are an inspiration, and they have supported my goal to com plete the 5k. After I won the M A C softball tourney in M ay Candles Ron Green, Consultant Duran Bobb/Spilyay Aurolyn Stwyer runs the KNT mini-marathon. race, they asked me if I was a champion. I gave them the thumbs-up.” Her New Year’s resolution has also helped Aurolyn cul turally. “It is much easier to walk for many hours when I’m in shape. It is part o f my responsibility to dig roots and pick berries for my longhouse.” One of Aurolyn’s hobbies is dancing the women’s tradi tional high step at powwows. “I ’m competing in a lively dance with young ladies who are half my age,” she says. “T he m ain reason th a t I dance is because of my ap preciation for physical activ ity, and to be present at an alcohol and drug free activ ity. I also enjoy wearing re galia that has been in my fam ily for many generations.” Wearing her regalia and fit ting into jeans that have been put away for a while is much easier, Aurolyn says. Since setting and achieving her goal, she has lo st 10 pounds. “There are many benefits to running... It boosts the im mune system and is the best way to burn calories.” While working to better herself, Aurolyn has done much research. “It takes 30 days to create a habit,” she said. “I found that it’s im COCC offers swim class Central Oregon Com munity College’s Madras Community Learning Pro gram is offering a new class taught by a profes sional swim instructor. “Learn to Swim” will help students to be com fortable in the water.
