SiCong Iht H(p5eson IraiC by Dr. Stan Knick, Director UN CP Native American Resource Center We have taken Abenaki storyteller Joseph Bruchac's first two steps on the road to good storytelling: listening and observing (from his book Tell Me A Tale: A Book About Storytelling). This week we move on to his third step ? remembering. Memory may be the most important, and yet the most taken-forgranted, function of the brain. If the ancient human beings had not had memory, they would not have been able to develop diverse and adaptive cultures, systems of social organization and kinship, ways of looking at things, beliefs and values and most of the rest of what makes us distinctly "human." Very little would be possible without memory. As Bruchac says: "Without memory, there would be no history." But most of the time we don't even think about memory. Memory is like culture, in the sense that most of the time we don't think about it, we just live it. Both memory and culture are so "built-in" to our everyday lives that we don't need to think about them on a conscious level. As long as they are there in our heads and working properly, everything goes along in an ordinary fashion. They are usually only conspicuous in their absence. If something is missing from our culture or from our memory, we may be upset or we may not know what to do. Bruchac says: "The only time we seem to remember memory is when we actually do forget." But memory is not just about the past It is also tied to the present and the future. Bruchac writes: " Knowing the pas t can protect the future. And story is one of the best ways to make those memories of the past come alive. Memorizing names and dates can be boring and difficult. Remembering the stories associated with those names and dates, however, can be exciting and interesting. If names and dates are the bones of the past, stories are the flesh and breath that make those dry bones come alive again." Bruchac and others have argued that human memory works best when it is in the form of a story. The brain is capable of storing so much information that it is like a very powerful computer. Often when we can't remember something, it is not because that thing is no longer in our heads but rather that we are not using the right pathway or access code to get at it "As with a computer, wejustneed to know how to access the right file. Storytelling is like a powerful password.... Information in our mind that we shape into the form of a story is much easier to remember.... One memory device is to think of the story like a joke. After all, most jokes are just very short stories that are intended to make people laugh! So... look af the structure of the joke. A joke can be divided into three parts: the setup, the development, and the punch line.... If you have ever known anyone who can't tell a joke, it is probably because he or she either forgets one of the three elements... or tells them in the wrong order." Here is Bruchac's example of a good three-part joke: The Setup: "A man was driving his brand-new car down .the road. No one else was on the highway, and so he decided to see how fast the car could go. He pushed the accelerator all the way to the floor, and before he knew it that car was doing over 120 miles an hour. All of a sudden, something passed his car as if it were standing still. It was a chicken with three legs!" The Development; "The man had never seen anything like that before. He followed the chicken as best he could, even though it was getting farther and farther ahead. Suddenly it turned off onto a dirt road that led up to a farm. The man followed. When he reached the farmyard and stopped his car, he got another surprise. That farmyard was* full of chickens and everyone of them had three legs. He saw a farmer sitting up on the porch and decided... to ask him about those chickens. But before he could say a word..., the farmer said to him, 'I bet you want to know about those threelegged chickens.' 'That's right,'said the man. 'Well,' said the farmer, 'my wife and my son and me, we love to eat chicken. The problem is that all three f of us love drumsticks. Now most chickens have only two legs, so we bredthesechickenstohavethree. That way, whenever we have chicken, we can each have a drumstick."' The Punchline: '"Well,' said the man to the fanner, 'that is really something. But tell me, how do those three-legged chickens taste?' The farmer shook his head. "'I don't rightly know. We've never been able to catch one.'" It is easy to see why Bruchac believes that memory is an essential elementin storytelling. Not only would there be no history without memory, there would be no funny stories either. Next week we will look at the fourth and final s tep on B ruchac's path to good storytelling.

Pediatric Pointers I by Dr. Joey Bell, Pembroke Pediatrics j One of the more common illj ncsses 1 sec in the clinic is diarrhea ' The most common cause of diarrhea is a viral infection of the intestines. The symptoms of diarrhea usually last about 3 days, but may last up to 7 days. The frequent diaper changes can be a hassle, but most cases of diarrhea are uncomplicated and do not cause a threat to the health of the child. If lots of fluids are lost during a bad diarrheal attack, however, a child may run the risk of dehydration. Dehy dration can have serious medical consequences, but it is relatively easy to present by making sure that the child drinks enough of the right kinds of liquids. A good choice of fluids for infants with diarrhea include the oral rehydration solutions, such as Pedialyte or Infalyte These have a combination of salt, sugar and water to replace that which is lost in the bowel movements. These solutions will work much better than plain water, or fluids that have a lot of sugar in them, such as soft drinks or juices. Lots of sugar tends to make diarrhea worse. If you use these liquids, make sure they arc diluted with water. Children with diarrhea need about twice as much to drink as they normally need. For instance, a one tear old with diarrhea should drink about 6 to 8 ounces every 2 hours It is good to not allow a child to stay on an oral hydration solution only for more than 24 hours It is important that your child returns to a regular diet as soon as possible. Although your child may not be interested in solid foods during the first 24 hours of their illness, it is important to begin feeding again as soon as possible especially after 12 houjs without food or formula. At that point, continue with breastfeeding or the same formula the baby is on. If the child is eating solids, try bland foods such as noodles, crackers, oatmeal, rice, vegetables, bananas or yogurt. Avoid fried, fatty foods of foods with a lot of sugar, such as ice cream of sweet cereals. Well, that's all on diarrhea Take care and we'll talk again next week! r f PMS , ? ^*nm/hm- -A.il V- I The full official name of the hum-vee, the three-ton, aeven-foot-wlde, four-wheel drive modem equivalent of the Jeep used by the American military, is High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle.
