make them into a stew by adding them

are well done (you may want to add
some salt and pepper). If you prefer,
you could just keep roasting them on
the sticks until they are well done.
Throe Si*wrs Slew The three
main vegetable crops grown by Indian
people all over Eastern North America
in the old days were cum, beans and
rimers." Here'sooe way to cook them
together that pay tribute to their
iaponMCt in the lives of so many
people for to long.
Lightly brown some chunks of
neat with n little butter in n deep
heavy pot (any kind of meat would
do, deer or bear or even turkey,
although ham is easier to get these
days and wots just fine). Add some
coarsely chopped ooioos and chopped
hot peppers after the meat is lightly
browned, and continue cooking until
the anions wilt. Then add about three
tablespoons each of flour (com or nut
meal would work) and butter. Stir
and cook these together until the
onions and meat chunks are well
coated and until the flour starts to take
on a slightly brown color. Slowly
add two cups of good chicken broth,
stirring constantly; bring to a boil.
Then add two cans dark red kidney
beans with their juice, two fresh
yellow squash (coarsely chopped),
the kernels cut off of four ears of
fresh corn, four tablespoons of
molasses, two tablespoons of chopped
parsley, two-and-a-half teaspoons of
fitt (this is ground sassafras, available
in the spice section of the grocery
store). Bring it all to a boil over
medium heat. Reduce the heat and
simmer the stew for about 45 minutes.
Serve Three Sisters with corn bread.

Reflecting on Season Changes
Dear Ms Cornice
Weil November is here, the trees
have lost a good pan of their leaves
The nights ha\ c Marled to get longer,
you know the only thing I like about
the changing of the lime is we get
back the hour we lost If you have
ever traveled much back and for*
watd between time /ones you know
w hat I mean lust one hour can re
ally make a difference,?hichbrings
me to the reason aM
will be spending the nasi couple of.
months being very hum- doing all
sorts of things, dunsig the holidays
But let's not forget the real reasons
we celebrate these holidays take
Thanksgiving, how many ofus think
of how much we hav e to be thankful
for during the holiday or are we to
busy worry ing about the Turkey or
if all the famiK will show up or not9
Are we thankful for our homes, be
cause there are homeless, are we
thankful for our jobs, because yes
there are people who are unem
ployed.
For mc I'm thankful for our Little
Church. Triad Native American
United Methodist even after almost
two years it's Kill growing in mam
?ns It may not be growing in leaps
and bounds (NOT YET) bul I do like
the way it's developing I listen to
our Preacher Kenneth Locklcar and
sec how he is dev eloping in so mam
different ways. I watch those who
were not active at first become lead
ers in their own quiet way I see the
children dev eloping leadership skills
in front of people who really care for
them I'm thankfo! for mv health. ,
bicassc so mam people arc sick? I
may not be a rocket scientist and
some may disagree but I think I have
a good mind. I'm thankful for all my
friends those w ho I have small talk
with and thoae that together we solve
the world problems ( IF THE
WORLD WOULD ONLY LISTEN
TO US) I'm even thankful for the
hour I get back that spring takes
away from us
I'm thankful for my home Robeson
Counlv a place where, when I'm
there f feel my spirit pick back up
It's a place that I not only grew up
in. but as a child I went to school
here and played there I run into
childhood play mates who look a lot
different now but when they laugh it
sounds like lime hasn't really
changed, we still laugh about the
same things
I hope this gave you some things to
think about and be thankful for
What I would like for us to do lawsc
that hour we lost in a wise way take
some lime to think When y ou're in
the middle of the holidays trying to
do everything under the suit and in -
IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN
WHAT WE DO WITH THEM So
dunng Thanksgiving be thankful
and during Christmas let's remem
ber the Christ Child and the hope he
has brought to the world You know
when I really think about it. if you
don't hav e Jesus then you really don't
hav e much to be Thankful for do
y ou? Maybe that's why some people
act the way they do. they got an ex
tra hour on their hands and can't
think what to do with it. I'll leave
you with that one. I'm sure you'll
come up with something Take
Care

Last neck we talked about the
conimoa condition called pigeon
toed And a> promised this week
will discuss ofWr orthopedic prob
lems seen in children
V?r> often I see children
brought to clinic by parents con
cerned about the shape of the child s
legs The two most common condi
tions arc bowlegs (genu \ana) and
knock-knees (genu valgum) What
I try to remind parents in clinic is
thai either condition can be normal
for that particular child Remember
that infants gcncrall) hate bowing
of the legs (hiring the first tear of
life By about 12 to 18 months the
legs begin to straighten out and mat
even progress to mild knock-knees
Usually by 6 or 7 years of age the
alignment of the legs arc set for good
To determine how bowed or
knocked the knees might be. I have
the child perfectly straight with their
ankles touching. If there is a gap
between the knees, then they arc
bOw lcggcd if the knees overlap,
they arc knock-kneed This lest can
be done at home To reassure par
ents. I stand in front of them in my
office and show then I am bow legged
and mention that my 4 year old
daughter is knock-kneed I also try
to remember to tell parents that some
TrTh^TSsk^nlSfrifnBgBB
knock-knced (Dads really loveH
hear thai about Ihor duklrcn!) O*
if time conditions are severe or to
cur only on one side does a doom
need to consulted I
Let me briefly mention oae
other orthopedic condition seen in
kids?flaifeet (pes planus) Fig.
feet arc normal in mums and yo?|
children The arch will detelnp
whether the goes barefoot or we?i
shoes One out of every 7 children I
will never develop an arch and t^fc 1
is usually because the fool is loom J
jointed The arch flattens w hen il?* J
arc standing Buying special shaH
or using arch supports for time kiu
is usually bothersome to their flH
and a w aste of the parents ntoncv It I
is when the flalfoot is SUIT, painful I
or v ery set ere that il needs medical I
attention or special shoes supports I
Remember that the good Lord I
made us in all dilTcrcnt shapes and
si/.cs and if measured, no one \
would hat c perfectly straight legs
Congratulations to Glenn
May nor. our new Sheriff) Let's sup- c
port his efforts
Take care and we'll talk again
