The art of communication

For the past couple of months I have been a member of a winter madness committee ( organizing activities during the March break). We planned several activities during the break, and just in case of bad weather, I suggested to my fellow members that we reserve the school gym for two days of activities, they were all for it. My fellow members did give me a warning however, " The janitors will not let us use the gym." This is my first year working with the Medical center, and most of the committee members have tries to reserve the gym in the past, all with the same result, the janitors are too busy cleaning the gym. I told the committee that I didn't think it should take two weeks to clean one gym, so I went ahead with my plans. I contacted the school principle and he said, "No Problem, I'll just instruct the janitors to clean the gym in the last few days of the March break." I brought the news back to the other members and it was a relief, piece of mind, we can schedule the gym for indoor activities.
I arrived at the school to prepare for the day's activities, as I was walking towars the school's doors I noticed a big sign ,"GYM CLOSED FOR CLEANING." I went in and asked what was going on, "I had activities planned," I went into the gym and saw scaffolding set up and large pieces of dust on the ground, but no janitors in the gym. I talked to the janitor, and he told me, "Nobody told me" I went back and told the other members, they told me, "We told you so, the janitors run the school"

New era of campaigning

"The elections are coming", "The elections are coming" Usually big news to any reserve.
Today with the technology that is easily accessible to the masses, it has never been so easy and affordable to reach the entire community and then some. In Listuguj , in my opinion, Facebook has become a favored site to reach out to the public. Two groups have emerged quickly, each group supporting their favored for Chief, with a few groups popping up to support general discussions about Listuguj and the elections. With such easy access to the community little or no councilors have thrown in their two cents worth, maybe they're not fans of technology.

What types of risky behaviors are you seeing with our young people?

Being a father of four children, two are teenage boys, I don't really notice any behavior that is any riskier than what I did as a youth. Sure they have instant access to watch other " Jackass" type behavior, but they have yet to try and duplicate those actions. They wear a helmet when they snowboard, something I never did, they wear helmets when they are on their bikes, skateboards and ski-doo, when I was younger a helmet never touched my head. Sure they should be made aware of a potential wild world , but you can't always be there to show them the safe way, it's justt something they will have to learn on their own, sadly most times by trial and error.
Maybe thats why kids take longer to grow up and stay with their parents until way into their twenties, parents put the fear of the world into them.
