Potawatomi Language Summer Immersion
Issue #8, August 2011
Week two of Summer Immersion was a great success! Another week of the Potawatomi Language Immersion has come and gone. It was a great turn out and great
weather to go along with it! It was quite the learning experience to those who attended and everyone walked away
with a little something from $5 in promo to $20 gift card
for BP. Our big door prize went to Barbara Ann Warren
from Pokagon who won a Sam English print donated by
the Heritage Center. Once again, the mornings were dedicated to hearing the fluent speakers, Jim and Mary Jane Thunder. They
told stories and went over some vocabulary. It was very intriguing listening to these wise elders speak Bodewadi. The
afternoons were filled with grammar lessons and language
based activities that went along with what was learned in
the morning, with the exception that we did not have any
rice wine. These activities got the participants involved
and moving after delicious lunches that were provided by
Lois Tovar. The week was a huge success and we hope to see
more of tribal members at the Language Conference in August. It is very important that we learn our language and
we keep it alive. Ktthe Megwetth to Jim and Mary Jane
Thunder, Lindsay Marean, Earl Meshigaud, Dawn Hill,
Lois Tovar, Island Oasis, Island Resort & Casino and the
Culture Language staff!!

KidZone
On Wednesday, July 20, Kidzone’s Group 3 (group leaders Lauren Moore and Jennifer Ives) & Group 6's (group leaders
Trisha Pepin, Jackie Sagataw, Ton Ohman, and special help from Stacey Reath) along with the Learn & Serve project (Learn & Serve
is one of the grants the Youth Services Department has); raised money and awareness for children who are hospitalized. They found
the Ronald McDonald House charities to be a good fit. That is where their classmate's family (Jimmie Potvin) stayed after his accident.
Below are pictures from the Pie Throwing event that took place in the cafeteria. Youth Services Staff along with KidZone staff
volunteered to have pies thrown at them for $1 a piece. Within an hour they raised $232 for the charity!!!
They also decided to make Capes for Kids, where they made super hero capes for the kids so that they would feel like they
were super heroes in fighting their illnesses. On Monday, July 18th they dropped off some capes to Mr. Jim Edwards at the U.P. Children's Museum in Marquette (he has connections with Beacon House, Marquette General's version of RMH). On Monday, July 25th,
they made their second drop at OSF St. Francis in Escanaba, with a final drop scheduled to the RMH in Milwaukee at the Children's
Hospital.
For their Learn & Serve project, Groups 2 (group leaders Carmen Jamison and Amanda Whitens) & 4 ( group leaders Kendra
Merkling and Cassandra Shepherd) are raising money to purchase craft kits and other activities for kids needing to stay at the Alliance
Against Violence & Abuse in Escanaba. They will also be making a cash donation to the shelter for daily supplies. These groups had a
bake sale the first few weeks of KidZone and had a 2-hour total of $154.63!! They also hosted an ice cream float/cotton candy/popcorn
sale to help raise additional funds on July 21.
Lastly, Group 1 (group leaders Bobbie Jo Taylor and Adrian Ransfer) & 5 (group leaders Melissa Ledford and Stephen Lesperance) are initiating a "Story Corps" project, where they will video tape interviews with Community Elders (kids interviewing Elders).
They have already met with the Elders to review the types of questions they'd like to ask, and hope to complete the project to show at
the Gathering in August.
KidZone’s last day for all students is Wednesday, August 3rd, with our reward trip for eligible students on Thursday, August
4th to the Milwaukee Zoo. If you have any questions regarding KidZone or you would like to help fundraise or donate to the charities,
please call Rachel Fix at 466-5397 extension 216.

Gardening with Larry
A few months ago I talked about planning for seed saving. Now it’s time to think about doing it. So,
which seeds can you save? It will depend a bit on what varieties you planted in your garden. I’ll cover a few favorites here. First, if you planted hybrid varieties, don’t bother saving them. Hybrids have two different varieties for
parents. The result is a nice variety for you to plant, but the next generation will be variable and unpredictable.
Some of your crops may be cross pollinated by other varieties, so you may not know what the seed will
produce next year. Sweet corn pollen is carried by the wind, so if there is another corn crop within 600 feet it
may have cross pollinated your crop. If you want a really pure seed your sweet corn may need to be separated by
two miles or more. The ears can be left on the stalk until they are dry or they can be picked after the husks have
turned brown and dried off the stalk. Just pull back the husks, tie them with twine and hang them until they are
dry.
Squash can be tricky because the varieties fall into several different species. Acorn squash, pumpkins,
zucchini, yellow summer squash and many gourds are all in the species Cucurbita pepo. If you’ve planted more
than one of these varieties they may have cross pollinated one another. But Hubbard squash is a different species
(Cucurbita maxima) and so is butternut squash (Cucurbita moschata), so they won’t cross pollinate. Cucumbers (Cucumis sativus), melons (Cucumis melo) and watermelons (Citrullus lanatus) are also different species,
so they can be grown together with the squashes. For all of these squash family varieties wash the seeds to clean
off all the of the sticky, sweet material and let them air dry.
Some vegetable crops are self-pollinating and their seeds can be more easily saved. Beans and peas are
self-pollinating, usually before the flower even opens, so even if they are visited by bees and other pollinators they
won’t usually cross. But peas and some beans - lima, broad and runner –can be cross-pollinated by bumble bees. Separating them by 100 feet will keep them safe from cross-pollination. Beans and peas are simply left on the vine
until they are dry, then “shelled” – removed from their pod.
Tomatoes are mostly self-pollinating, so you can save seed from a number of varieties even in a small
garden. But a small amount of crossing does occur, so if you want greater purity it’s best to separate them by 30
feet. To collect the seed, crush the fruits into a pulp then let it ferment at room temperature for 2-4 days, stirring
at least twice daily. The pulp around each seed will change to a thin liquid and the seeds will sink. Add water,
stir, let the seeds sink then pour off the liquid. Repeat until the seed is clean then spread on a cloth or screen to
air dry.
Be sure the seed you have collected and cleaned is good and dry before storing them. A rule of thumb is
when the seed feels dry to the touch, let it air dry for two more days. After that seeds should be stored in relatively steady cool, dry conditions. Freezing doesn’t hurt the seeds, so that can be a good way to store them. Most
seeds keep better in a sealed container, but beans and peas need a more open container – an old coffee can or even
a paper bag.
A good source of information about seed saving is a book by Susan Ashworth, “Seed to Seed”. Johnny’s
Seed Company sells a very practical book, “Growing Garden Seeds”. A very thorough and useful website is
http://howtosaveseeds.com.
A note on selecting seed: save fruit from the best plants in your garden. If you forgo eating some of the
very best fruits and save them for seed you will, year after year, select for the best varieties for you own garden. There is a great sense of self-reliance and satisfaction to be had when the seeds that you saved from a previous
year come poking up through the soil. I hope you give it a try, and let me know how it works.

You might have heard people mention MRSA but don’t really know what it is or how you can avoid getting it. First of all,
MRSA is short for Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. MRSA is caused by a strain of staph bacteria that has become resistant
to commonly used antibiotics. It is the result of years of often unnecessary antibiotic use.
Staph is a common type of bacteria that normally live on the skin and sometimes in the nasal passages of healthy people. The
bacteria are generally harmless unless they enter the body through a cut or other wound, and even then they usually cause only minor
skin problems in healthy people. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 1 percent of the population carries
the type of staph bacteria known as MRSA. The bacteria can cause infection when they enter the body through a cut, sore, catheter or
breathing tube. The infection can be minor and local (for example, a pimple), or more serious (involving the heart, lung, blood, or bone).
MRSA is spread by contact. So you could get MRSA by touching another person who has it on the skin through an open
wound on your skin. Or you could get it by touching objects that have the bacteria on them that come into contact with your open skin.
MRSA is common among people who have weak immune systems and are in hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care
centers. Other people at risk are those that participate in contact sports because MRSA can spread easily through cuts and abrasions,
people living in crowded or unsanitary condition, and men who have sex with other men.
Staph skin infections, including MRSA, generally start as small red bumps that resemble pimples, boils or spider bites. These
can quickly turn into deep, painful abscesses that require surgical draining. These symptoms can include drainage of pus, fever, and
warmth around the infected area. Symptoms of a more serious staph infection may include: chest pain, chills, cough, fatigue, fever,
general ill feeling, headache, muscle aches, rash, and shortness of breath.
MRSA infections can resist the effects of many common antibiotics, so they are more difficult to treat. Different types of
antibiotics may have to be used.
Careful attention to personal hygiene is the key to avoiding MRSA infections. Wash your hands frequently, especially if visiting someone in a hospital or long-term care facility. Do no share personal items such as towels or razors with another person. Cover all
wounds with a clean bandage, and avoid contact with other people’s soiled bandages. If you share sporting equipment, clean it first
with antiseptic solution. Shower after athletic games or practices. Avoid common whirlpools or saunas if another participant has an
open sore. Make sure that shared bathing facilities are clean and sanitize your linens. These simple steps may help you from getting
MRSA or spreading it if you have it.
If you notice a wound that seems to get worse rather than heal or you have any other symptoms of staph infection, call your
health care provider to make any appointment to determine if you need to be tested.

Derek suffered injuries while serving in
Baghdad which caused him to lose hearing in one ear, half a foot, sight in one
eye and most of one leg. After recovering from the injuries in record time,
Derek is an inspiration. He began bowling with his family as a form of therapy
which led him to the 2011 USBC Open
Championships. Currently he is enrolled
at the University of Wisconsin Marinette where he is studying for a degree in
business and plans on returning to the
Open Championships next year.
