From The baNd maNaGerFINANCE CLERK: I’d like to welcome Janine Sheard to our team until Lucy gets back from her leave. Janine been hired to replace Lucy as our Finance Clerk. Welcome to our team!! To Lucy… I sincerely hope your trip goes well and look forward to your return.

TRUST: I heard some disturbing news going around the re-serve recently. I was told that the reason that I don’t have anything to do the Trust anymore was that I was asking for more money to add to my job as band manager. Nothing could be further from the truth. I received a letter from the Trust thanking me for my efforts and that my services were no longer required. I never have nor was I asking for more money from the Trust. There was a suggestion that because I was employed as a band manger perhaps the Trust should consider reimbursing the band for services rendered because it was taking up to 30% of my time. That does not mean extra pay, just that the band should be compensated for the work done for the Trust. The pay was to remain the same. We have purchased a Float camp recently and we have our first contract for some tree planters. We hope to have struc-tures in place soon to accommodate band members and elders to attend the site as soon as we bring the camp up to a better standard.

DRIVE SLOW: The kids are all going back to school now and I want to remind people driving cars to slow down to 25 km on the reserve and pay extra attention to the young ones on the road.

FISHERIES & WATCHMEN: We will be winding down our fisheries and Guardian Watchmen Program soon and I sincerely hope that you can attend our season’s debriefing and presentation at year end to hear what the programs have accomplished and the direction we are trying to head in for the future.

GARBAGE: The Fall clean up is coming up soon. Regarding debris on the side of the road- please con-tact Bob.. don’t just put it out on road.

“Knowing how important fish is in our lives and also how hard Vivian and Janet both worked on their fish, Bob and I will donate six of our frozen fish to them, once someone builds them a smoke-house. No, this is not a challenge to anyone else, it’s just a contribution. If anyone else can, that would be great, I know that six fish is not much, but who knows? If a few people donate one, two, three fish, it just might add up. We both totally admire them for their commitment and dedication to fish preservation.”- cathY SWaiN
