The Coach's I Corner I BY KEN JOHNSON The TyMO Tragedy This is a real moralistic, tragic story. The simple-knowing the dif ference between right and wrong is inherent in all of us, including Mike Tyson. Society, too, sets the rules for proper behavior with its laws to pro tect society, itself. Even though it harbors improper conduct within the penitential walls, it doesnt mean to. Getting away with it shouldn't be the norm. Tyson's conscience will pay havoc with him. The validity of his wrong doing was established by jury technique. Jury technique is ancient. For example, the 12 Apostles validated the reality of Christ. The Russian story of "Crime and Punish ment" deals with the pain of con science, causing the murderer to con fess. Tyson will have a long time to suffer over this. It's tragic-going from champ to chump. The pain will be insufferable at times. You might say, God has put a conscience in all of us. That is why discretion is the better part of valor. And conscience is our guide, whether or not we pay attention to it It is mankind's guid ingrule for action, we cannot dispute the learning law of effect in Tyson's case. Leaving the greatest rule book, the Bible out of education is a USA tragedy. The 10 commandments are taught only within the Bible. The society is truly guilty of ommision, not commission. Tyson used no self discipline. He is truly a tragic figure. And it pains me as well as you. 20-20 hind vision is hard to change, isn't it? BY KEN JOHNSON czft Cony o/reson JSj !bt. D(ml*i, jP^*U ^f+tlwt cA^ , With all the beverages available to us today, such as juice, tea, coffee, soft drinks, and so forth, it might be easy to think that in the old days of traditional Indian culture people only drank water. And of course in the old days it was better to drink the water from streams and springs than it is today, since there was no pollution in the water like there is now. But Indian people did drink things other than plain water in the centuries before non-Indians arrived. Perhaps most common among traditional drinks were the wide variety of teas made from locally available plants. Each geographic region had its own plants, and the people of each region had their own favorite teas. One favorite tea was made from barberry (Berberis canadensis). This plant is a thorny shrub wi th yellow six petaled flowers, and deep red berries (which have single seeds). The leaves were steeped in water, and sometimes mixed withj uice from the berries, or sweetened with wild honey or maple sap. Another drink, actually somewhat more like coffee, was made from beechnuts (Fagtu grandifolia). The beechnuts first had to be husked and roasted, then re moved from their shells and dried by further roasting. Then the dried nuts were ground into a fine powder, and added to hot water. Several other nuts were used in a similar manner, including hickory nuts and some acorns. The leaves and blossoms of many plants were com bined to make teas. One such plant, a member of the mint family, is bergamot (Monarda didyma, which has red blossoms; and Monarda fisialosa, which has lilac or pink blossoms). Leaves and blossoms were put in hot water and steeped for about IS minutes. Similar teas can be made from borage (Bongo officinalis, which has blue blossoms, and which is high in calcium and potassium); from clover (various species of Trifoiimm), from colts foot (Tussiiago farfara); and from goldenrod (various species of Solidago). Several berries were also made into drinks. These include blackberry and raspberry, but also the somewhat lesser-known dewberry (like the blackberry and rasp berry, a member of the rose family), and the elderberry (Sambucus canadensis). Juniper berries (Juniperus communis) were also made into adrink, which was rather more like coffee in that the berries had to be roasted and ground. Ferns and lichens could also be made into teas. One is the so-called "Iceland moss" (actually a skeletal lichen named Cetraria islandica). Another is the sweet fern (Comptonia peregrina). Even some grasses were made into tea, such as sweet vernal grass (Anthoxanthum odoratum). But the better known tradtional beverages were made from sassafras (Sassafras albidum); wild chamomile (Matricaria chamomilia); witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana); wild sarsaparilla (Araiia nudicaulis), and the ever-popular maple (various speciesofAcer). Most of these beverages were consumed because of their associa tion with specific effects, but to think that traditional Native Americans drank only water is to overtook a great deal of variety in the daily lives of America's first people. Extreme caution should be exercised in the use of any wild plants, since parts of them may be hazardous to your health.
