Do Not Call

On Oct 2, 2006 all cell phone numbers were released to telemarketing companies and you're probably receiving sales calls on yours now......and you are being charged for these calls!

To prevent this , call the following number from your cell phone : 888-382-1222 . It is the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a minute of your time. It blocks your number for five (5) years.

You must call from the cell phone number you wish to have blocked . You cannot call from a different phone number.

You can also register your regular phone number at www.donotcall.gov

Many states also have their own do not call lists as well.

Six Elders honored in a special issue of the LCO Times
HONORING OUR ELDERS: Editor’s Note: The following special edition to the LCO Times is made possible by WOJB-FM 88.9 because of their Historic Preservation Project that was done in part with the LCO Ojibwe Community College and the LCO Historic Preservation Office. These five interviews done by WOJB are only a few of the many great interviews they conducted and will be airing soon. We here at the LCO Times are honored to be able to share some of them with you in this special publication. There are six total LCO Tribal Elders honored here, even though we’d like to feature so many more, space simply doesn’t allow it. All these featured elders, with the exception of our cover page elder, were interviewed by WOJB and those interviews appear here in a shortened edited form. Our cover, Marie Kuykendall, was submitted by her daughter and we thought she was perfect. Please enjoy!

F.A.C.E. program making books for children

By Joe Morey

In order to better prepare children for school, the F.A.C.E. program at LCO Ojibwe School is making their own REALE books for their students, and setting out on a new goal to get books into the hands of needy children on other reservations.
REALE books are picture and word books made for small children by their parents in the F.A.C.E. program, or they are made by the children themselves. The parents in the program make the books at www.realebooks.com at a cost of about $1 a book for the cost of ink and paper.
The picture books are created with RealeWriter (“Really Writer”) software. RealeBooks offer the parents a unique way to get their students writing by making them the authors of their own books. They are a particularly promising tool for Family Literacy programs, allowing parents to create books to read to their children in English, their native language, or both languages. Children too can make RealeBooks, even adding their own artwork as illustrations by using a scanner to make digital copies of their drawings and paintings. (Read More...)

Sample tribal license plate rejected

by Joe Morey

The LCO Tribal Governing Board recently rejected a sample LCO License Plate and will be seeking input on a new design. Vice Chairman Rusty Barber, who is handling the new license plates, said there is no time line for when the plates will be finished but said that the service will be expedited.
“If we set up our own LCO motor vehicle registration, then we’ll be able to set our own rates,” Barber said. “We’ll use the revenue to help off set the cost of law enforcement.”
