By the time of the dm permanent white settlements hen along t^e Robeson Trail, bones would already have been vwry familiar The introduction of hones in the West produced what we now recognize as he external dements of Plains Indian culture ? highly mobile tribes and nations living in tipts and following buffalo herds By 1640 the southern Apache had horses, and soon they had so many that they wese able to trade them to other Indian nations. Even though most Europeans tried to keep horses away from the Indians (because horses were a military advantage), by 1750 the Lakota, Mandan, Cheyenne, Kiowa. were fully mounted Nations which got banes first m?<u iifp hard ft* other Indians who were still walking (as in the case of the Pawnee foot soldiers who were repeatedly over-run by Osage, Comanche and Cheyenne hone soldiers). The introduction of horses into Native America had both good and bad consequences. It gave us, among other things, one of our most abiding images of American Indians.

When two opposing groups fights regression occurs, sure ooe wins but the price in this case will be too mucb. lfthe sport is put first both sides will consider the sport over their own interests This is the "selective ethic" the love of the game As opposed to the "situation ethic" which pins you own selfish interest first. Labor strikes have only been retried when both put their mutual interest first They are depending on each other for their livelihood. The third ethic is the "slave ethic" and m this case the players are the so called "slave drivers" Cameron's Comment By Paul Cameron Larry's back looks better. Much better. Alonzo's calf isn't hurting anyone, either So with a little of lady luck's smile - and none of miss fortune's frown - the Hornets might be picked 2nd or 3rd in the NBA's Eastern Conference pre-season Even without Horace or Danny. In fact, the greatest part of LJ and Zo playing with the Dream Team II is the year round conditioning It ought to be a plus for Larry who usually spends training camps wheezing like a real Grandmamma Glad to hear John Kruk's latest visit to the doctor wasn t serious Kruk. the Philadelphia Phillies slugger who had a cancerous testicle removed earlier this year. Foundapatroflumps on his torso He immediately took himself out of a game in Florida and got himself checked. Come to find out.

BELL, MD This pax week J had fee pleasure of anendihg and speaking X our annual Association of American Indian Physician Conference. This year's conference was in Piatlaxd. Oregon I had never been to the Northwest before, it ismily oneof the max beautiful places I have ever vuitod! We saw elk and eagles Hvmg in the wilds, large Redwood trees op to 20 feet in diameter, and salmon swiareuegap the Columbia River It truly was spectacular* During the conference I had the honor of speaking on fetal alcohol syndrome, and 1 thought it would be good tode vote my article this week to that subject Remember that fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a birth defect caused by maternal use of alcohol during pregnancy. U is now thought to effect one in every 500 to 700 births, but is more commonly seen in the Native American population The rateofFAS in Name Americans is 6 tunes that of Africau Americans and 30 times that of Caucasians' I The 3 characteristics that help make the diagnosis are; I. Failure to thrive for inability to put on weight well 2. Distorted fecial features, such as small eye slits, thin upper lip. low set ears and fix fecial profile, and 3 Central nervous system disorders, from symptoms as mild as hyperactivity or unpulsiveness. to as severe as mental retardation Matter of feet. FAS is now thought to be one of the leading causes of mental retardation in the U.S The question always comes up ~ what is a safe amount of alcohol to drink during pregnancy'.' While drinking x least 2 ounces of alcohol greatly increase* the rufc of FAS, we do know that there have bees kids wbcn Sdkktobwb ' with FAS. And we know that the during pregnancy the more severe the symptoms of FAS can he The rale is don't drink during pregnancy. With all this in mind, it's easy to 9ee that the key to stopping FAS is prevention; we need to educate our young people about the dangers of drinking, not just during pregnancy, but anytime. If we could prevent women from drinking during pregnancy we would never see another case of FAS! We must become aware of the symptoms of FAS in our children so that a correct diagnosis and treatment can be made. And us guys are not off the hook, either! While we know that a man drinking at conception does not caaae FAS, we do know that a man drinking at borne will more likely lead to the women drinking, even during the pregnane v. 1 am happy to say that there are efforts to look at FAS in the Robeson County area in the works now As health providers we must become advocates for our children by helping stop FAS in future generations.

J One of the most wonderful texts in all of your Bible is found in John 3:16 "God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son. that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life " How it must have touched the hearts of the first disciples! For "whosoever" meant fisherman as well as rabbis, tax gatherers as well as priests, little people up in Galilee as well as the lords of the Sanhednn in Jerusalem It took in the lame, the blind, the crippled, the leper It left out nobody who wished to be included strangers ftV.n "everyJnation under heaven" thdsame lovely word came rushing intl lus nuiidT Eagerly he crtedaJoud.' Whosoevf r shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" < (Acts 2:21) Almost the last message from Jesus I in your Bible is a reminder of the same gracious, unlimited invitation "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches And the Spirit and the bride say. Come And let htm that heareth say. Come And let him that is athirst come And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely" (Rev 22:16. 11. Some words may be bigger and some deeper, but none is broader than "whosoever ." It makes God's plan for man's salvation a very personal matter. It declares that every individual on the face of the earth is included MnKiu4v ?* ruit Klrtt _ pinnUWo., ._ vttAAJy to a* B vlll^lv iTltili Ov woman Not the smallest boy nor the tmiest girt.
