These efforts are part of a larger vision set forth by the tribe in its Environmental Mission Statement: “The traditional values of the Forest County Potawatomi Community teach us to respect all living things, to take only what we need from mother earth, and to preserve the air, water, and soil for our children. Reflecting these values, we take leadership in creating a sustainable and healthy world. We resolve to reduce our own environmental impacts and to take steps to remedy the impacts of others. We encourage others to do the same. We also seek legislative and policy changes that protect the envi- ronment for all people, including gener- ations to come.” To achieve these goals, FCP recent- ly adopted new energy standards and practices for development and vehicle use. These standards will advance the tribe’s efforts to protect the natural envi- ronment, conserve energy, and promote sustainability in accordance with this mission. Building Standards On May 29, 2013, FCP Executive Council passed a motion “requir[ing] that all new buildings on tribal trust and fee lands be, at a minimum, constructed in accordance with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certified standards. . . .” Why LEED? LEED-certified buildings are designed to: • Lower operating costs and increase asset value • Reduce waste sent to landfills • Conserve energy and water • Be healthier and safer for occu- pants • Reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions Fleet Cars On May 29, 2013, FCP Executive Council passed a motion “requir[ing] that all newly purchased fleet cars be hybrids . . . .” Why Hybrids? • Lower emissions and better mileage • Much cleaner and less carbon monoxide (CO) and other greenhouse gas emissions • Batteries need not be charged by an external source • Hybrids help reduce dependency on fossil fuels which directly affects fuel prices The FCP Community will continue to work towards improving energy effi- ciency and explore renewable energy options that help reduce environmental impacts and protect tribal resources. Questions regarding the new standards can be addressed to the Director of the Division of Land and Natural Resources, Nate Guldan at (715) 478-7205 or [email protected]. Background The Environmental Mission Statement was adopted in 2008 by the FCP Executive Council. In January 2013, an Energy Working Group was appointed by the Executive Council to coordinate the tribe’s various energy projects. The development and fleet vehicle standards and practices are out- comes of these tribal initiatives.

On Wednesday, Sept. 4, two coach-
es and four ball players stopped by the
FCP Executive Building to meet with
FCP Vice Chair Al Milham. The reason
for the visit was to thank the FCP
Community for its $10,000 donation to
Menominee American Legion Baseball.
Keshena Little League Coach Tim
Dixon said, “We sometimes have a hard
time paying our umpires… thank you!”
Tri County Junior League Coach Wayne
Wilbur was appreciative as well and
said, “This will go a long way to help
the boys.” The donation will help youth
ages 8 – 15 in several baseball leagues
including those in the Neopit and
Keshena areas.
Milham shook hands all around and
said, “We have to take care of the
youth!”

Cole Kincaid, representing the
Forest County Citizens Fair Committee,
had this to say: “Without generous dona-
tions like yours, doing this for the youth
would not be possible. Thank you so
much!” According to Kincaid, over 250
children were positively affected by this
same program last year.
Milham, echoing sentiments from
the night before, said, “We have to take
care of the youth!”

Living with diabetes is not easy, and
unfortunately once it has developed, dia-
betes does not go away. In order to suc-
cessfully manage diabetes, most people
with diabetes need to make some serious
lifestyle changes. Learning how to mon-
itor and control blood sugar levels can
take time, and the threat of serious
health problems never goes away. For
this reason, a person who has diabetes
may need the help and support of their
family. People with diabetes may face
numerous complications and may also
be more prone to depression and stress.
Having diabetes affects both you
and the people close to you – your
spouse, significant other, children, par-
ents and friends. They, too, need time to
adjust to diabetes. They may also go
through some of the same feelings as
you do – they may be relieved that it
wasn’t something worse, for example, or
they may fear that you will develop
complications. It may take some time
for your family to adjust to your treat-
ment schedule. Some of the changes you
need to make in your routine, such as
eating at regular times, will affect them
as well.
Though they may need time to
adjust, your family can play a big part in
supporting you and helping you cope.
They are also instrumental in supporting
your goals and helping you to achieve
them. It’s important to educate them
about diabetes – what it is, what lifestyle
changes you will have to make, and how
they should handle diabetic emergencies.
Take family members along to visits
with your diabetes care team or to dia-
betes education classes. Talk to your
family or loved ones about specific ways
they can give you support as you care
for yourself each day. You may ask, for
example, that they eat healthful meals
with you, or go on walks with you a few
times a week. If you often forget to test
your blood glucose or take your medica-
tion, ask for their help in remembering.
Remember, there are many people
who can help you to learn more about
your diabetes and assist you in day-to-
day self-management. Your diabetes
health care team is behind you for sup-
port and guidance, as well as your fami-
ly and friends. But the most important
person on the team is YOU! And the
more you know, the better you will do at
managing your diabetes.

Bruxismsubmitted by FCP Health & Wellness Center Dental Department
Is work or school stressing you out?
You may be taking it out on your teeth
through a condition called bruxism.
Bruxism is characterized by the grinding
of the teeth and is typically accompanied
by the clenching of the jaw. Bruxism is a
habitual behavior as well as a sleep dis-
order. Untreated bruxism can lead to
other health problems, damage to the
teeth and gums, and even temporo-
mandibular joint disorder. Bruxism can
have numerous
causes, such as bite
problems, stress,
medical conditions,
or certain medica-
tions.
Most people
with bruxism are not
aware of the condi-
tion, and only
approximately 5 per-
cent develop symptoms (such as jaw
pain and headaches) that require treat-
ment. In many cases, a sleeping partner
or parent will notice the bruxism before
the person experiencing the problem is
even aware of it. The noise resulting
from bruxism can be quite loud.
Bruxism can result in abnormal wear
patterns on the top surfaces of teeth,
unusually sensitive teeth, notching of the
teeth at the gumlines, as well as severe
damage to the teeth, including fractures.
Bruxism also is a significant cause of
tooth loss, gum recession, and loosen-
ing of the teeth.
The symptoms of bruxism vary and
can include anxiety, stress and tension;
depression; earache; eating disorders;
headache; insomnia; and a sore or
painful jaw. If left untreated, bruxism
eventually shortens and blunts the teeth
being ground and can lead to facial mus-
cle pain and TMJ. In severe chronic
cases, it can lead to
arthritis of the tem-
poromandibular
joints. The patient
often becomes
aware of the condi-
tion during a rou-
tine dental examina-
tion. Your dentist
will be able to rec-
ognize the signs of
bruxism during a dental exam and may
even suggest further analysis of your
bruxism, such as recommending an
overnight stay at a sleep laboratory.
There is not always a definitive cure
for bruxism, but the signs and symptoms
can be reduced or eliminated through
dental treatment. Treatments can include
mouthguards, bite adjustments, biofeed-
back devices, and repair of damaged
teeth. Do you have questions about
bruxism? Talk to your FCP dentist.
Whether you desire options for clear,comfortable, efficient vision, or have
physical eye needs such as infectionsor injuries, we are here for you.

Basic Facts
• All thunderstorms produce light-
ning and are dangerous.
• Lightning often strikes outside the
area of heavy rain and may strike as far
as 10 miles from any rainfall.
• If you hear thunder, you are in
danger.
• Lightning leaves many victims
with permanent disabilities (or death).
Avoid lightning threat:
• Plan ahead. Know
where people will go for
safety and how much
time it will take them
to get there.
• Postpone activi-
ties. Prior to a prac-
tice or event, check
the latest forecast
(NOAA Radio).
• If thunderstorms
are in the forecast, con-
sider postponing activi-
ties.
• Monitor the weather.
Watch and listen for clues of impend-
ing danger. Look for darkening skies,
flashes of lightening, or increasing
winds and listen for thunder.
• Get to a safe place. If you hear
thunder, suspend activities and instruct
everyone to get to a safe place.
Substantial buildings provide the best
protection.
• Stay inside. Do not resume activi-
ties until 30 minutes have passed since
the last thunder was heard.
Being outside in a thunderstorm:
• Avoid open areas and stay away
from isolated tall trees, towers, or utility
poles; lightning tends to strike taller
objects.
• Stay away from metal bleachers,
backstops and fences. Lightning can
travel long distances through metal.
If you feel your hair stand on end,
lightning is about to strike!
There may be little or nothing you
can do to keep from being struck
by lightning. As a last des-
perate resort:
• Crouch down
on the balls of
your feet, put
your hands over
your ears, and
bend your head
down. Make
yourself as
small a target as
possible and min-
imize your contact
with the ground.
• Do not lie flat on
the ground.
Know what to do if some-
one is struck by lightning.
• Call 911 immediately!
• Give first aid if trained to do so.
Check the victim’s pulse; begin CPR if
necessary.
• If possible, move victim to a safer
place. An active thunderstorm is still
dangerous. Don’t let the rescuers
become victims; lightning can strike the
same place twice.
Lightning: The UnderratedKiller!submitted by Linda Thomaschefsky, FCP Emergency ManagementUnited States
Environmental
Protection Agency
(USEPA) Regional
Administrator Susan
Hedman and her staff
visited the Forest
County Potawatomi
(FCP) Community on
Friday, Sept. 13,
2013. The reason for
the visit was to talk
with the FCP Natural
Resources
Department about
projects that it’s con-
ducting and the many
successes of the pro-
gram, including those
funded with USEPA
grant dollars.
During Hedman’s
one-hour tour, she
visited the tribe’s air monitoring station
where she was shown the various air
pollution analyzers and collectors. The
FCP has the most extensive air monitor-
ing program in the region, sampling for
seven air pollutants in addition to mete-
orological data.
Hedman was also briefed on the
tribe’s Class I redesignation effort and
the current status of ongoing discussions
with the Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources (WDNR) on protec-
tions afforded the tribe under Class I for
natural and cultural resources.
Hedman’s visit was part of a tour
she made to other tribes in the area
including Oneida, Mole Lake,
Menominee and Stockbridge Munsee. It
is Hedman’s intent to be familiar with
the tribes within Region 5 of the USEPA
and to ensure that tribal leaders know
that they can approach her with any con-
cerns or issues.

Once again, summer has come to
an end but the children had a great one!
They loved the extra time outside play-
ing in the pools, slip and slide and the
sprinkler.
We also had a chance to bring the
children to the FCP Natural Resources
building for its annual picnic. The chil-
dren really enjoyed playing games and
visiting the booths they had set up,
although their favorite part was seeing
the little owl and putting out the fire.
We didn’t realize we had so many chil-
dren that have the potential to become
firefighters! We would like to thank
FCP Natural Resources for inviting us
to this educational and fun day that was
so close to home. It was a great getaway
for the children.
In July, we made the journey to
Rouman Cinema in Rhinelander five
times to see movies. The children were
very good and appreciated the chance to
do something different. Miss Connie
packed several picnic lunches, and we
picnicked in the Hodag Park. The chil-
dren also had a chance to tour the Train
Museum which is by the Hodag Park.
Crandon Public Library had its
summer reading program. Amy Marvin
and her daughter came once a week to
read to the children. She had a project
of some sort and a snack and they got to
pick out a book to keep.
It was truly a wonderful summer!

School District of Crandon KicksOff New School Yearsubmitted by Martha Walentowski, Crandon Elementary School
On Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2013, the
School District of Crandon enthusiasti-
cally kicked off the new school year by
welcoming the entire student body (K-
12) with a Cardinal PRIDE pep rally.
If the students weren’t excited about
coming back to school before they
arrived, they certainly were after the
rally. The district’s Cardinal mascot was
out in full force, parading around in the
beautiful school colors as he careened
up and down the gym floor, stopping to
meet and greet the students as they
arrived to take part in the morning’s fes-
tivities.
The band played the school song as
well as many other toe tapping, hand
clapping tunes, which helped pump up
the Cardinal PRIDE excitement. Other
activities included a pseudo kick-off
with footballs and goal posts, and the
administrative team was introduced to
the students. The main event was the
celebration of student achievement from
the 2012-2013 school year. Students
with perfect or outstanding attendance
from fourth quarter of 2013 were also
commended by their principals, superin-
tendent and teachers for their great suc-
cess at improving their attendance.
It appears that the 2013-14 kick off
was a tremendous success thanks to the
Cardinal PRIDE team, the administra-
tion, teachers, support staff and, of
course, the STUDENTS!

PORTLAND, Ore. and WASHING-
TON, D.C. (Sept. 10, 2013) — The
National Indian Child Welfare Association
(NICWA), the National Congress of
American Indians (NCAI), and Angel
Smith, an independent attorney appointed
by the District Court of the Cherokee
Nation and “Next Friend in the filing,” are
applauding the action by the United
Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights
of Indigenous Peoples James Anaya call-
ing for state, federal, and tribal authorities
in the United States to take all necessary
measures to ensure that the well-being and
human rights of Veronica Brown, the four-
year-old Cherokee child at the center of a
highly contentious custody dispute, are
protected.
Anaya’s office pointed out that the
Indigenous rights are guaranteed by vari-
ous international instruments subscribed to
or endorsed by the United States, stating,
“I urge the relevant authorities, as well as
all parties involved in the custody dispute,
to ensure the best interests of Veronica,
fully taking into account her rights to
maintain her cultural identity and to main-
tain relations with her indigenous family
and people.”
NICWA, NCAI, and Smith, who had
brought their concerns to the Special
Rapporteur’s attention, hailed the
announcement as corroboration of the
concerns raised both in the federal civil
rights lawsuit on behalf of Veronica in
July and in ongoing legal matters in
Oklahoma.
Among the possible human rights
violations is the forced removal of
Veronica from her Indian family and tribal
nation without adequate protection or
recognition of her right to culture. Such
removal violates her right to culture, edu-
cation, family, and tribal nation as guaran-
teed by Articles 7 and 8 of the U.N.
Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous
Peoples and Article 27 of the International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
The executive directors of two lead-
ing national organizations, NICWA’s Terry
Cross and NCAI’s Jacqueline Pata, called
for the national conversation about the
case to focus on Veronica’s human and
civil rights.
“These rights are being violated by
the failure of the courts to provide
Veronica, her tribal nation, and her
extended family with opportunities to be
heard regarding her best interests,” said
Cross. “What the U.N.’s involvement indi-
cates is that we must all agree to turn our
focus back to Veronica. When we do, it
becomes disturbingly clear that the courts
have utterly failed to protect what is guar-
anteed to her by international law and
established treaties, best adoption prac-
tices, and in my opinion, basic tenets of
decency. Her rights have been violated,
pure and simple.”
“We commend the Special
Rapporteur for engaging on this issue—
it’s a vital step for protecting all
Indigenous children throughout the world.
It’s important to note that these are viola-
tions of international laws recognized and
ratified by the United States long ago, not
external forces weighing in on domestic
laws,” said Pata. “Veronica, and all simi-
larly situated Indian children, families,
and tribal nations, have deeply felt inter-
ests in maintaining their individual and
collective rights to family, culture, and
community. These basic human rights,
along with the fundamental principles of
self-determination, non-discrimination,
due process, and equality, must be protect-
ed.”
Smith agreed, stating, “Of course the
facts of these matters are heart aching.
Even so, it is important and required that
when considering Veronica’s rights and
protections to acknowledge that, as an
Indigenous child, she holds the rights of
continued connection to her family, her
culture and community. It has been tragic
that, in the media firestorm following this
case the last two years, so little attention
has been paid to Veronica’s basic human
rights. These are rights and protections
due her—due to Veronica—and are inde-
pendent of any other individual involved
in these matters. Veronica’s rights and
interests must be considered.”
Smith continued, “If she were any
other child, in any other case, her present
situation, needs, and rights would be con-
sidered and would have been part of the
determination. Today, Veronica is a four-
year-old little girl with her own view of
her daily world and her own identity. She
has her own words and her own voice. It
is time Veronica is heard because it is,
after all, Veronica’s life.”

CRANDON, Wis. (Sept. 2013) -
Officials at Crandon International Off-
Road Raceway would like to recognize a
couple sponsors that went above and
beyond the norm with generous cash
prizes at the Labor Day Weekend World
Championship®.
The Forest County Potawatomi Tribe
and Randy Fenwick of Fun Company
stepped up with cash prizes for the Trophy
Kart and B&L Race (Potawatomi Tribe)
and last place finishers at Saturday’s event.
“We definitely weren’t expecting this
... but just goes to show the generosity of a
couple sponsors at Crandon, going deep
into their pockets to help out some racers
that otherwise wouldn’t have much finan-
cial payback at the World Championship,”
said Crandon’s Cliff Flannery. “Hats off to
the Forest County Potawatomi and Fun
Company’s Randy Fenwick. Crandon
Raceway recognizes your involvement
with the World Championship and we
thank you for your generosity.”
Both parties ponied up thousands of
dollars to the cause, with the Potawatomi’s
cash purse going to the podium finishers
of the Trophy Kart class and B&L Race,
while Fenwick/Fun Company’s unique
cash purse was given to the last place fin-
ishers on Saturday, with the winners of
that money being drawn from a hat. Those
racers included:
1st place ($1,000) Charlie Wilson,
Stock Truck; 2nd Place ($750) Charles
Holtz, Formula 4x4; 3rd Place ($250)
Jimmy Weitzel, Trophy Kart.
Thanks again from everyone at
Crandon Raceway to the generosity of the
Forest County Potawatomi Tribe and
Randy Fenwick at Fun Company!
With racers and trucks/buggies, crews
and off-road fans converging from all
points on the U.S. map, the small logging
town of Crandon, Wis., (population:
1,961), is awash in activity. And since
1970, the off-road phenomenon has played
out in Crandon, making it the nation’s
longest-running short course off-road com-
petition.

When Nicolasa Alamilla, enrolled
FCP tribal member and college student,
came home to Milwaukee this past May
after completing her first year of College
at Parsons in New York City, she set her
suitcases down and said, “Mom, I need a
job. I need to understand the value of a
dollar and I need to earn and give back to
the tribe. They’ve done so much to help
me get my education”.
Well, after I picked myself up from
the floor, she and I talked about approach-
ing the Milwaukee casino. Chrissy
Shegonee of the Human Resources
Department said she had been thinking of
how to create just such a program!
Immediately, she went to work on it and
just a few weeks later, the Potawatomi
Bingo Casino (PBC) Milwaukee
“Pathways Tribal Internship Program” was
born:
“PBC Pathways is a six (6) week pro-gram designed to offer educational oppor-tunities to enrolled tribal members of theForest County Potawatomi community inan effort to enhance tribal sovereignty andhelp candidates gain professional experi-
ence in the area of their interest and study.Candidates selected for the internship arerequired to meet the stringent criteria asset forth by the Gaming Commission toacquire and maintain a gaming license,including but not limited to an applica-tion, background check, a drug-test andorientation process.”
The program required Nicolasa to
attend briefings, tours, orientations, lunch-
eons and official introductions to key staff
and projects.
While the program came together
extremely quickly, it was highly organized
with a categorized schedule. Nicolasa said
that everyone was friendly and supportive.
General Manager Mike Goodrich and
Winslow Mexico both welcomed her and
were involved with the oversight of the
program to ensure that students seeking to
gain and utilize their skills are matched
with aspiring interests.
Nicolasa is a strong speaker, and
attending school in NYC is probably why.
She knows that being able to speak helps
her and will help her tribe. Additionally,
because Nicolasa is interested in commu-
nication design, she was able to perform
graphic work for the upcoming 2014
Hunting Moon Pow-Wow and did a video
with Goodrich.
Nicolasa would especially like to
thank all the Human Resource and
Marketing staff for the opportunity, and
their involvement and support. Our family
would like to extend gratitude to Tom
Boelter of the Education Department who
works with students and families, connect-
ing resources and people for the benefit of
all students of the tribe. Finally, the FCP
Tribal Council for creating policies and
supporting programs that help all tribal
students achieve their educational goals.
Nicolasa found this experience valu-
able because she was able to witness all
the hard work and passion that goes into
running the casino, and has more of an
appreciation and deeper understanding as
it relates to the historical and legal context
of Indian gaming and the benefits she has
reaped as a tribal member. She can’t wait
to return next year…
If any enrolled tribal member who is
a college student is interested in the pro-
gram, please call the human resource
department in Milwaukee or in Crandon to
apply for next summer.
