“As you go forth, when you encounter folks who still hold the old prejudices because they've only been around folks like themselves, when you meet folks who think they know all the answers because they've never heard any other viewpoints, it's up to you to help them see things differently.”

It was an honor and made me very proud to personally witness the California Legislature in recognition of Sheriff Crawford.  Mr. Crawford served Alpine County as a deputy and Sheriff for the last 20 years. He's also recognized as the 1st Native American Sheriff in the State of California. Sheriff Crawford exemplifies the strength and dignity of the Washoe Tribe. Congradulations Sheriff Crawford and good luck with your future endeavors. You'll be greatly missed as our random Santa Clause and insuring a safe and happy Hung A Lel Ti Community.

Respectively, Geoffrey B. Ellis

At yesterday morning’s Alpine County Board of Supervisors meeting, Sheriff John Crawford received a wonderful award – a special resolution from the California Legislature honoring his many years of dedicated service.  Sheriff Crawford will be retiring this year. Congratulations, Sheriff Crawford! Councilman Ellis, Cole, Greg, Lane and the Washoe IT/telecommunications team were at the meeting providing a briefing for the Supervisors on the Hawkins Peak microwave backhaul project for Hung A Lel Ti Community and County residents, and were fortunate to be able to observe this outstanding tribute and to take the attached photos of the event.

Have you noticed the Mosquitos are already out! Here is a homemade trap to help keep you and the kiddos from being a blood donor!!! (Needless to say, there’s been a temperature change! sdc)

HOMEMADE MOSQUITO TRAP:Items needed:1 cup of water 1/4 cup of brown sugar1 gram of yeast1 2-liter bottle

HOW:1. Cut the plastic bottle in half.2. Mix brown sugar with hot water. Let cool. When cold, pour in the bottom half of the bottle.3. Add the yeast. No need to mix. It creates carbon dioxide, which

attracts mosquitoes.4. Place the funnel part, upside down, into the other half of the bottle, taping them together if desired.5. Wrap the bottle with something black, leaving the top uncovered, and place it outside in an area away from your normal gathering area. (Mosquitoes are also drawn to the color black.)

Change the solution every 2 weeks for continuous control. ************************************************************************* Leading up to the June 23, 2014 White House Summit on Working Families, the Department of Labor will host forums across the United States to identify initiatives that benefit America’s working families, businesses and economy.  These discussions will help inform the national Summit, which will build momentum around key policy goals and best practices to help both workers and businesses succeed.

The forums will convene businesses, academics, labor leaders, state and local elected officials, tribal leaders, advocates, media, and workers to discuss issues facing the entire spectrum of working families – from young people just starting their work lives, to low-wage workers, to corporate executives; from parents caring for children to adults caring for their aging parents. Addressing these issues isn’t just the right thing to do for workers – it’s critical to our future competitiveness in the global economy. Removing the barriers that keep our best talent from participating fully in our workforce is key to ensuring that all American businesses can compete in the 21st century.

The White House Summit on Working Families will explore how all sectors can work together on key issues including workplace flexibility and paid leave, equal pay, workplace diversity, career advancement, access to non-traditional and STEM jobs, worker retention and promotion, opportunities for low-wage workers, elder care, childcare, and early childhood education.  And it

will lift up promising and best practices of leading companies and develop solutions for bringing such practices to scale, across industries and for all types of workers.

The U.S. Department of Labor invites you to register to attend and receive updates for The San Francisco Forum for the White House Summit on Working Families on May 27th.

The nurse was amazed when she seen me grab it from my pocket and put it in my nose so I could breath. She asked why did I do that, I said so I could breath better which is why I am able to answer you. She called it practicing medicine, I said well we have been practicing it since before western contact, she said well it does work..

I sure do pay more attention to where it is now than ever before, plus the inherit right to use for healing purposes.
