Mohican Team Finshes Season 12-0
30th Annual Chemon Fishing Derby
By: Susan Savetwith
Mohican News Reporter
The 30th Annual Chemon Fishing
Derby was recently held at the
Elderly Center due to inclement
weather. Folks from throughout
the community gathered at the
center to have a meal with the
elders. After the meal, a drawing
for prizes was held for the elders.
It is on to the post-season play for the Mohican Little League Team
that finished their regular season play at 12-0! Members of the team
include: (Kneeling left to right); Michael Miller, Donald Waukechon,
Marcus Malone, Neil Cornelius, Sterling Schreiber III, (Standing left to
right); Coaches Jeff Pecore and Sterling Schreiber, Bruce Dixon, Lucas
Percore, Belasaire Vele, Ashwuut Mohawk, Corbin Welch, and Coach
Sterling Schreiber Jr.
Even though the fishing activity
was cancelled Penny Jashinsky
and Floyd Williams were down at
the park to try their luck. Neither
caught fish, but the weather
[no rain] held long enough for
them to try. Floyd Williams and
Mike Rudesill were the only two
entrants for the Craziest Fishing
Hat and Floyd finally won first
place. Floyd’s hat was adorned
with all kinds of lures and pins and

Sara is a direct Oneida descendent
and originally grew up Appleton
with her grandmother and great
grandmother. She says her family
is a lot smaller than most Native
families and mainly made up of
women, but says she wouldn’t
trade them for the world. “I am
the oldest of all my siblings and
closest cousins which has been
quite the experience watching
them from when they were babies
to where most have graduated
from high school and one from
college. Even though I grew up in
the Fox Cities, I have always had a
passion for the woods and working
outside which I was able to pursue
with higher education,” Smith said.
Smith graduated from Appleton

By Susan Savetwith
Mohican News Reporter
This past spring, the Family
Center started a new garden
project, it consisted of construction
of a small green house, putting up
Deer Fencing and acquiring a tiller
and compost tumbler.
According to Stockbridge-Munsee
Council Member, Joe Miller, deer
were coming along and eating up
everything they planted and all the
fencing material was leftover from

compost/potting soil.
Miller said later in the spring
they heard about a grant through

Charlene H. Moon
“Early experiences affect the development of brain architecture, which provides the foundation for all future
learning, behavior, and health. Just as a weak foundation compromises the quality and strength of a house,
adverse experiences early in life can impair brain architecture, with negative effects lasting into adulthood”.
The Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) is here to help!
What it is: The Ages and Stages Questionnaire is a developmental screening and monitoring system
for children from birth through age 5. The ASQ covers five developmental areas: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal-social. It usually takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
What it isn’t: The Ages and Stages Questionnaire is NOT a test to determine the intelligence of your
child. It is Not a test to determine your child’s weaknesses.
Who should complete the form: As a parent or caregiver, you are the best source of information
about your child. That is why the questionnaire is designed to be completed by you.
Why complete the ASQ: The information you supply will help reveal your child’s strengths, uncover
any areas of concern, and determine if there are community resources or services that may be useful for your
child or your family. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends using a standardized screening tool.
Detection rate of developmental disabilities using a screening tool is 80 - 90% and only 20% without using
a screening tool. Early detection/intervention is critical to the development and well-being of children and their
families. Intervention prior to kindergarten has huge academic, social, and economic benefits. “Studies have
shown that children who receive early treatment for developmental delays are more likely to graduate from
high school, hold jobs, live independently, and avoid teen pregnancy, delinquency, and violent crime.” Early
detection/intervention helps ensure better futures. Completing the ASQ is an investment in your child’s future.
Where: The Community Health Department at the Stockbridge Munsee Health and Wellness Center
would be happy to provide you with the ASQ that is age appropriate for your child and score the completed
questionnaire and provide you with
feedback. Please contact Joan at 793-5018 or Anita at 793-3018.

screening, prizes, face painting and so much more!

Celebrating Our Culture
We respect everyone’s
viewpoint on the meaning
of their culture. Each of
us is on our own journey.
Culture is more than just
your tribes land; it is more
than the percentage of Native American you are. It is
greater than a language,
the way you look or dress.
Culture is something ingrained in each of us from
our families, friends, neighbors, and mentors. It is our
way of life we choose to
follow because our ancestors helped us to know the
values of our heritage.
It is the history that’s in our
blood that defines our culture. The experiences of
our ancestors and our own.
It is to be passed on from
generation to generation.
July is a reminder to all of
us to sit down with an elder
and listen. Listening and
sharing is the only way we
know how to pass on our
cultures and traditions.
Below is what I found
searching the internet
about our Culture. “There
are 566 federally rec-ognized American Indian
and Alaska Native tribes
and villages in the United
States, each with their own
culture, language and history.
Every tribe has unique traditions and distinct styles of
housing, dress, and food.
Federally recognized tribes
vary in population and land
base, but all are considered sovereign nations
and hold a specific nationto-nation rela-tionship with
the United States.” (Indianyouth.com)

$4,700 in State funding for “Gardens
to Children” with an emphasis
on education with our youngest
people, Head Start,” Miller said.
According to Miller that funding
helped purchase more gardening
equipment to expand to the garden
behind the Education Office. “This
is a 60 by 40 foot existing garden
where we constructed another deer
fence around and purchased a new
rear-tine tiller, hoes, rakes, seed,
a compost tumbler, and rodent
fencing,” Miller explained.
Miller said they have been getting
the young people involved in
planting for the past year with the
indoor operation [Hydroponics}
at the Family Center, now they
have them involved with planting,
weeding, and watering outdoors
throughout the summer.
“This
serves as incentives for earning
their way for field trips and other
recreational activities,” Miller said.
According to Miller, future plans
include a small Orchard and
Berry patch behind the Education
Office, more raised beds, garden
boxes, and gardens throughout
the community. “It is amazing
how much you can grow in a small
area, our Korean friends have
been doing this for many years and
provided us with expertise in this
area,” Miller said.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease
Also called: HFMD
UV Safety Awareness Month
Summer has arrived and while the
sun is shining bright it’s a golden
time to highlight July as UV Safety
Awareness Month!
What Is Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a highly contagious infection. This virus can spread from person-to-person through direct contact
with unwashed hands or surfaces contaminated with feces. It can also be transmitted through contact with an infected person’s
saliva, stool, or respiratory secretions.
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is characterized by blisters or sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands and feet. The infection can
affect people of all ages, but it usually occurs in children under age 5. It is generally a mild condition that goes away on its own within
several days.
What Are the Symptoms of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?
The symptoms begin to develop three to seven days after the initial infection. When symptoms do appear, you or your child may experience:
(1) a fever, (2) poor appetite, (3) sore throat, (4)headache,(5) irritability, (6) painful, (7)red blisters in the
mouth, (8) red rash on the hands and the soles of the feet
A fever and sore throat are usually the first symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease. The characteristic blisters and rashes show up later,
usually one or two days after the fever begins.
You or your child should feel completely better within five to seven days after the initial onset of symptoms. Re-infection is uncommon. The body
usually builds up immunity to the viruses that cause the disease.
How Is Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease Treated
In most cases, the infection will go away without treatment in seven to 10 days. However, your doctor may recommend certain treatments to help
ease symptoms until the disease has run its course. These can include: prescription or over-the-counter topical ointments to soothe blisters and
rashes. Pain medication, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, to relieve headaches, medicated syrups or lozenges to ease painful sore throats
Certain at-home treatments can also provide relief from hand, foot, and mouth disease symptoms.
You can try the following home remedies to help make blisters less bothersome:
(1)Suck on ice or popsicles.(2)Eat ice cream or sherbet.(3)Drink cold beverages.(4)Avoid citrus fruits, fruit drinks, and soda.(5)Avoid spicy or salty
foods.
Swish-
ing warm salt water around in the mouth may also help relieve the pain associated with mouth blisters and throat sores.
Do this several times a day or as often as needed.
How Can Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease Be Prevented?
*Practicing good hygiene is the best defense against hand, foot, and mouth disease. *Regular hand-washing can greatly reduce your risk of contracting this virus. *Teach your children how to wash their hands using hot water and soap. *Hands should always be washed after using the restroom, before eating, and after
being out in public. *Children should also be taught not to put their hands or other objects in or near their mouths.
*It’s also important to disinfect any common areas in your home on a regular basis. *Get in the habit of cleaning shared surfaces first with soap and water, then
with a diluted solution of bleach and water.* You should also disinfect toys, pacifiers, and other objects that may be contaminated with the virus.
If you or your child experience symptoms such as a fever or sore throat, stay home from school or work. You should continue avoiding contact with
others. once the telltale blisters and rashes develop. This can help you avoid spreading the disease to others.
How long are you contagious?
Isolate contagious people. Because hand-foot-and-mouth disease is highly contagious, people with the
illness should limit their exposure to others while they have active signs and symptoms. Keep children with
hand-foot-and-mouth disease out of child care or school until fever is gone and mouth sores have healed.
If you have the illness, stay home from work.

they can be used to eat. It was so

The sun emits radiation known as
UV-A and UV-B rays. Both types
can damage your eyes and skin:
 UV-B rays have short wavelengths that reach the outer
layer of your skin
 UV-A rays have longer wavelengths that can penetrate the
middle layer of your skin
By learning the risks associated
with too much sun exposure and
taking the right precautions to
protect you and your family from
UV rays, everyone can enjoy the
sun and outdoors safely.
Here are the harmful things
unprotected sun exposure can do:
 Cause vision problems and
damage to your eyes
 Suppression of the immune
system
 Premature aging of the skin
 Skin cancer
Fortunately, there are things you
can do to minimize the risk that
comes with sun exposure.
1. Cover Up: Wearing a Hat (preferably wide brimmed) or other
shade-protective clothing can
partly shield your skin from the
harmful effects of UV ray exposure. Proper clothing may

was a little wet out but she was
still able to take us for a tour of
the wonderful plants that we have
round us.
We all love to take in those warm

remember to protect their skin and
eyes from the damaging effects of

2. Stay in the Shade: The sun’s
glare is most intense at midday.
Staying in the shade between
the hours of 10am and 4pm will
further protect your skin. The
sun still can damage your skin
on cloudy days or in the winter.
3. Choose the Right Sunscreen:
This is extremely important. The
U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s new regulations for
sunscreen labeling recommend
that your sunscreen have a sun
protection factor of at least 15,
and should protect against both
Ultraviolet A and Ultraviolet B
rays.
4. Use the Right Amount of
Sunscreen: According to the
National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention, most people
apply only 25-50 percent of the
recommended amount of sunscreen. When out in the sun,
it’s important that you apply at
least one ounce (a palmful) of
sunscreen every two hours.
You should apply it more often if
you are sweating or swimming,
even if the sunscreen is waterproof. By taking the proper
precautions and following this
advice you and your loved ones
can enjoy the sun. If you are
having any problems after being in the sun, be sure to talk to
your healthcare provider.
Enjoy the outdoors this summer
and remember to protect your
eyes and the skin you’re in!

2016 Woodland Indian Art Show
By Kathryn Church Footit
It was the 10th annual 2016
Woodland Indian Art Show &
Market this past Independence
Day weekend at the Radisson
Conference Center at Oneida,
Wisconsin. This event celebrates
our connection with our native
woodland tribal ancestry with art,
entertainment, education, and the
opportunity toAmarket the artist’s
creations.A
There were several familiar and
brand new faces, most from area
tribes, showing their skilled art in
both traditional and contemporary
styles .
Representing our
Stockbridge-Munsee tribe this
year were Terri L. O’Connor, who
returned for her second year
with her colorful and detailed
multi-medium
artistry.
My
mother,
Donna Jean Church
returned for her fourth year with
her adorable native faceless art
doll ornaments and soft dolls. It
was my first year participate,
showing my home-sewn ribbon
shirts and skirts.
Techniques, stories and laughter
were shared, and it proved to be
an show I would highly recommend
to any woodland artist. This year,
the entries in the competition were
hidden from us until an unveiling
at the Friday evening artist’s
reception. Breathtaking entries;
this year’s special category theme
was “Mother Earth”, where the
artwork needed to be completely
of natural materials.
I’d like to give a special thanks, not
only to the guests, supportors and
sponsors, but to the WIASM Board
and the wonderful volunteers who
work all year round to put on
this event. This is a continually
growing show, and I know that
planning is already started for next
year’s event, which is scheduled
for June 30-July 2, 2017.
