Today, as compared to years ago, school buses are built with safety in mind. In fact, a study by the U.S. Department of Transportation states that children are safer riding the bus to and from school than being driven in a car by an adult. When you are sharing the road with school buses, follow these tips. ·, , , , Yellow and Red Flashing Lights – School buses have yellow lights to warn drivers they will be making a stop and red flashing lights and an extendable stop sign to tell drivers to stop. Yellow does not mean go faster, it means slow down. Be aware of your sur- • Railroad Crossings – In most states it is roundings and always come required that school to a complete stop.

It is vital that especially if there is you stop your vehicle a crosswalk. at least 10 feet away from the school bus • Buses Need Turning to allow for riders to Space – Just like enter and exit safely. trucks, buses have a wide turning radius. Remember to provide them with ample turning space so they can maneuver easily on the road. • Watch for Children Waiting for the Bus – As the driver, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the road and on children waiting for the bus. Come to a complete stop at all stop lights and stop signs, drive slowly near bus stops and watch for children crossing the road. • Slow Down – Use caution if you are driving in residential areas and school zones. Fines for speeding in an area can be hefty. • Allow for Extra Time During Your Com- mute – School bus drivers have to follow the same speed limit rules as every other driver; however, they make frequent stops which can delay traffic. Know the bus routes in your community and allow ample travel time when school is in session.

Lummi nation Gathering of Native Americans ~ NWIC 2 SQUOL QUOL Education 2 0 12 JOM School Supplies Giveaway and Carnival 3 Squol Quol Education NWIC expands construction trades program to meet local need Submitted by NWIC Faced with an increasing number of local construction projects, Northwest Indian College (NWIC) and the Lummi Nation’s Tribal Employment Rights Organization (TERO) have teamed up to provide the community with more opportunities for advancement in the construction trades. While NWIC has had a construction trades program on the books for the past two decades, the program has been offered in a limited capacity for periodic classes in recent years, said Fran Dodson, director of workforce development at NWIC. That’s in part because the college was without an adequate facility to accommodate the programs. Lummi nation On Aug. 28, 2012, that changed – that’s when TERO signed an agreement stating the organization would partner with NWIC to rent a 7,500-square-foot facility at 1460 Slater Road. According to the agreement, TERO will pay to rent the facility and NWIC will pay all other costs, such as utilities, instruction and instructional and 4 sion at NWIC and of the be fully educated in their Silver Reef Casino, Hotel trade, Dodson said.

I want to thank the TERO staff and Fran Dodson, in particular, for their diligence in bringing this to fruition.” A variety of industrial safety certification classes are already being held in the facility, including Forklift Driver, Boom Life and Scissor Lift, Refinery Safety Overview (RSO), Industrial First Aid, and Flagging. Construction crafts classes – including carpentry, ground work, and interior and exterior construction crafts – will start being held there after Oct. 1, 2012, which will give program instructors time to become certified by the National Center for Construction Education and Research, a national organization for standardized training and skills assessments with industry-recognized credentials.

The road surface itself changes So what does this have to do with just tooling down a pleasant country lane? Well how about that little old lady in the Buick backing out onto the road just ahead? She’s just seen you, nails the brakes, blocking two thirds of the road, and you don’t have room to stop. The good news is that you have a third of the lane left as well as some grass to roll on before the ground drops away into a deep ditch with a culvert just a bit further ahead. So, can you get past her? Will your car fit? Hitting the culvert in the ditch will send you to the emergency room. Hitting the Buick even with your brakes locked will still pop the little old lady’s head out the window and onto the road. Here’s the steering wheel and here are the pedals. You figure it out.

Making a quick stop at Lummi Island deep water bay to have some lunch, and a introduction to get to know each-other. We were off to our first stop Samish. Where we were greeted and welcomed to come ashore. With every stop there was an exchange of culture. The third day of our Journey to Squaxin Island was one of the longest pulls we had to endure. With the weather not in our favor, we fought waves and some open water. We really came together by singing songs and encouraging each other to keep going. One of the biggest jokes we have on the canoe is that the next destination is just around the next corner. Lummi nation Suquamish was the stop were all the canoes were going to be merging. It was an amazing site to see cones for miles from all directions. One thing we would do when we got in to shore would be to find a Starbucks. As we were pulling in to Suquamish someone on the canoe yelled out “there is Starbucks!” A chant started Starbucks Starbucks. It was one of the funniest moments on the canoe. 16 Some of the most memorable moments at camp would be Uncle Smitty singing bone games songs with us and watching the smiles on all kid’s faces. One day, while setting up camp, someone looked up in to the sky and yelled “look there is a tent flying by way up in the air!” One more thing I enjoyed was the late night check-in meetings. Where we got to get to know each other a little bit more. On July 29, 2012, we landed at Squaxin Island. There was a soft landing where all the canoes met and had a chance to eat lunch. After lunch all the canoes were color coded with colored ribbons to come ashore together. It was in overwhelming site to see. We had made it to our destination, through all of the mental and physical pain. The week to follow would be a long exchange of culture songs and dance. It takes a family to go on the canoe journey, to set up the camp and to pull together on the water. I would like to thank everyone who help out at all the stops. I would like to thank Levi Jefferson for allowing us to use his canoe he had just made prior to the canoe journey, and Dan Jefferson for being the safety boat. Also, I would like to thank Uncle Smitty and Auntie Lutie Hillaire, who traveled and camped with us the entire way. SQUOL Lummi Elders: Seniors in Action by LTHC Preventive Care Nurse, Anneke Zwick.

The theme was “Fiesta Time”. They had a bull-fighting contest. Caz (Casimir Ballew) romped around in good “bull fighting fashion, pawing the ground with his moves and using his index fingers for horns. He made a very good bull, chasing the matador around. It would be remiss not to mention the shop-til-youdrop trip to Burlington. There is nothing better than to revel through the thrift stores. However, we did stop at a quaint pastry shop to indulge ourselves in scrumptious, absolutely mouthwatering, delectable sweetness. only thing better than that is a buttery batch of fry bread.

I’ve also been an Amateur A.A.U. and U.S.A. Boxing Coach and Fighter. Trained and coached under supervision of my father, Armour J. James Sr.; who in his day, was Far East Champion Boxer and Lummi Nation Boxing Coach for many years. I recently witnessed the Amateur M.M.A. matches here in Lummi and it was not appropriate for our people who want to fight. It takes many years and hard training to be an experienced fighter, even in amateur fighting. I did not see this at the M.M.A. fights.

I became curious and decided to do some investigating; looking into the problem as it seemed to be getting more prevalent. I discussed and questioned many folks, mostly young, some mid-aged. These are some of the many startling answers to the questions: Who do you respect and why? Who do you not respect and why? • “I don’t know who to respect, I keep hearing about it. I guess I respect my grandma; she doesn’t seem to come around because my folks drink.” • “I don’t respect anyone, maybe soldiers, but no one else. Everyone else lies.” What I noticed at the fights is that it’s not apart if an association. In amateur boxing there are rules and regulations to go by in order to protect all fighters, coaches, and clubs. A Doctor is required to be ringside at all events in case of serious injury and/ or death. There’s personal protective gear to wear. A fighter is required to wear all protective gear. I don’t see why this shouldn’t be the same in amateur M.M.A fighting. This fighting and events needs more rules and regulations to protect our youth and our people. Yes, people like to go and see a good fight, but it must be more regulated and at a standard pace with our youth. A set of principles and laws to help; not hurt. This is what I saw at the event held out in the Gymnasiums with our kids being put into a cage and not even knowing what they’re doing. • “I don’t respect my folks, they fight, they drink and use drugs It really does take just one hit to ruin someone’s life; we don’t want that for our youth. They need several years of dedication and hard disciplined training to even climb into that ring or cage match. • “I respect my folks, they try their best to make our home safe I am only writing this in concern for our youth, our people, and our nation. The Lummi Nation is already losing a lot of our people to alcohol and addiction. We don’t want to lose anyone because of them wanting to climb into that ring or cage. We want them to learn good teachings and discipline for life, not violence. There’s appropriate ways to bring up a fighter, a boxer, a kid. We need them to be good upstanding citizens in our nation with the skills to be successful in whatever they want to pursue. grandchildren because she doesn’t like their mom? I wouldn’t give her respect, she doesn’t deserve it.” all the time. We never have any food bank and they sell most of the food stamps. I wish I was in foster-care, so I would have clothes and food and not get made fun of.” (This answer was given more times than I care to think about.) • “We are supposed to respect our elders, how can we? My grandma spent time in jail for drunk driving by the school and giving booze to kids. The other kids make fun of me because of it, and she wants respect? NO!” • “Get this, my auntie was in jail and yelling at the other inmates that they should give her respect, because she was an Elder. They still talk about it and laugh at her, calling her a fool.” and happy. They both work, times are hard, but they are happy with each other.” • “How about a grandma who doesn’t recognize some of her My dear relations, I just couldn’t go in. I have so many more comments and most are very similar to these. It hurt my hear and soul to hear all of this, we must change it. Whatever it takes. How can we hold our heads up as a tribe and expect respect from others if we do not have it among ourselves??

Attended by: Anita Johnson (Bop) and Pilar Gauthier Anita Johnson, Lummi community member: Became Certs Member 2012. Upon my graduation from College I worked for the Tribe. I had fourteen programs under me, including eleven secretaries. I am proud to say that one of forty-four keynote speakers at this conference was one of my former secretaries. Marilyn Garcia has been chairman for the American indian health Commission of Washington for 10 years. Marilyn has been on the Upper Skagit Tribal Council for twenty-three years as well. I hope you read this Marilyn. I’m so proud of you, as i know the struggles we all face to get on the ladder. My hands are up to you, Special Lady. Pilar Gauthier, Menominee Indian, Wisconsin: Pilar is my friend. I met her when she started volunteering for the Elders a few months ago. Pilar has been trying to volunteer for the Youth Academy, except a lady told her she had to get a packet, bring it to another program and then to H.R.. She would love to volunteer for the youth and the Elders. Pilar is a student at Western Washington University. She is in her second year of the Master Degree in Mental Health. Her plan is to go on for her Doctorate. Of all Pilars accomplishments, she has done with her husband also attending college and both of them working. Plus, they have two children to take care of. She’s a hard worker. Good Luck Pilar! This was a very informative conference. The forty-four speakers were from the Indian Health Commission, Homeland Security, Federal Emergency MAnagement Agency (F.E.M.A.)., and other Washington D.C. programs. There was only one of the speakers that gave his apologies when he had to leave; he was one of the main people from F.E.M.A.. The gentleman had gotten some important calls from Cle Elum, just as he was called on stage; so his job came first. Now, we know what kind of guy is out front. His name is Richard Flores, Special Advisor for Indian Tribal Affairs for F.E.M.A. Also in attendance were Niqually Tribal Members, Ken Choke, Brother Jeff, and Hanford McCloud. They are all a part of the Emergency Management for their tribe. These men not only talked Canoe Journey safety issues, they also discussed a training program they did at the Arlee Montana Reservation. There was so much information to share at the conference that the big guys had to stay an extra four days afterwards to meet with the tribal leaders and health representatives from every state and other leaders from Washington D.C.. This was such a rewarding conference, the leader of the conference expressed that every is department invited to the next meeting and she’d be happy to put on a conference with an individual tribe. Any interest for one here at Lummi? Barbara Finkbonner might be able to put together a meeting to discuss such a possibility. Please contact Barbara Finkbonner to be put on the list of interested programs. The program held at the Silver Reef Casino was totally awesome, and can be larger. We have a large community, we need all departments involved. At this conference, every department was included. Get involved. This is our community. Special Thanks, Babara Finkbonner: 2 0 12 Thank you Barbara for helping Lilac and I (Bop) with funding from the Homeland Security Conference for our hotel room. Our hands go up to you! “Thank you Babara.” Pilar Gauthier: Thank you Pilar for being there for me. You helped me with respect and any helpful need as in luggage, bringing food to me, and even helped me with my purse at times. You were a wonderful companion. To top it all off, you rented a beautiful van for our trip to make sure of comfort and reliability. You never made me walk to this vehicle, you made sure that I waited while you brought the car to me. My hands go up to you! Thank you Pilar. 19 Squol Quol DearEditor NOTE: The following letter(s), in no way directly reflect the opinions of Lummi Indian Business Council, it’s members or its staff, unless otherwise noted.
