[Fred McDougall] says [Eugene Boshey] is the one causing the trouble. \"Mr. Boshey has been in office for eight years and has jackrolled two administrations,\" he said, in reference to former band councilors who under Boshey's director were pushed out of office after they demanded information about Fortune Bay's finances. \"I'm just one more Bois Forte member who has to bite the dust to save (Creative Games).\" [Cyril Kauchick] denied McDougall's allegations March 20, saying McDougall had overstepped his bounds as chairman of the board. He said Creative Games is a responsible company doing business in a responsible way; the company is maintaining the machines, and McDougall's numbers are wrong. Kauchick said the casino made $2 million from the machines last year, far better than it had made with machines leased in the early years from other firms. \"There's no doubt about it, it's a business,\" Kauchick stated. \"But to imply we're doing something illegal, that certainly isn't the case. We're very confident that everything we've done is legal and on the up-and-up.\"

\"On our end of the basin we're already seeing neuro-behavioral toxic effects on our children,\" she said. \"A notice `Don't eat the fish' is not enough. It's a typical science response. It's like saying, `The air is polluted, don't breathe.' What are we supposed to eat?\"

\"Our people are dying,\" Lac du Flambeau Chairman Tom Maulson said at the biennial meeting of the International Joint Commission here Sept. 23-25. \"Not only from alcohol; from cancer, from what we eat -- the deer, the fish. Those animals don't need us, we need them, and we better clean them up.\" \"On our end of the basin we're already seeing neuro-behavioral toxic effects on our children,\" said Katsi Cook, Akwesasne Mohawk, traditional midwife and researcher at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. \"A notice 'Don't eat fish' is not enough. It's a typical science response. It's like saying, 'The air is polluted, don't breathe.' What are we supposed to eat?\" Judy Pratt-Shelly, director of Red Cliff's Environmental Programs, told the conference this type of amendment is essential. \"It's too easy for people to change a law. Laws aren't going to be good enough to protect seven generations.\"

At an Indian gaming association convention in Minneapolis last month, Minnesota and tribal officials drafted agreements setting down regulations on video gambling machine and blackjack paybacks, background checks, licensing, security and enforcement. The 11 Chippewa and Dakota Sioux tribes in the state now operate 15 casinos; the state participates in law enforcement. [John McCain] and [Daniel K. Inouye] reminded the governors that tribes possess the sovereign right to offer gambling. \"It would seem we are left with the alternative of having the federal government negotiate compacts with the tribal governments,\" they wrote. \"There would be no involvement of state governments in negotiation of compacts or in the regulation of Indian gaming.\" [Charles Keechi] and many tribal leaders are leery about tampering with the law. They fear that tribes will lose legal ground under what they consider a well-funded and well-organized assault by private, non-Indian gaming interests and a variety of state interests, including state-run lotteries and racetracks.

Some states trying to dissolve successful Indian gambling operations are balking at a federal law requiring them to cooperate with tribal governments in establishing rules.

As leaders of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod gathered for a national meeting this month, they found themselves embroiled in an escalating crisis involving accusations of power-grabbing and lack of financial accountability brought against top officials. The charges are expected to reverberate at the synod's national convention in Pittsburgh, which began Friday and runs through the 17th. Unprecedented resolutions to dissolve ecclesiastical courts and recall top officials are expected to be introduced. Probably the hottest issue facing the 1,200 delegates surrounds the Rev. Robert Preus, who was given involuntary retirement from the presidency of the synod's seminary in Fort Wayne, Ind., in 1989 and recently was acquitted of charges from [Ralph] Bohlmann and the synod's five vice presidents that he was guilty of \"a pattern of untruthfulness.\"

\"They're really in demand,\" said Milton Hill, a collector here. \"People from as far away as Australia write, asking me to assist in making swaps-country plate for tribal plate.\" \"Every tribe, in my understanding can issue title registrations and license plates,\" said Marlene Swanson, director of driver and vehicle services for the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. \"But some states disagree... In Minnesota, we're convinced that we should build the same reciprocity with tribes as we do with any other state or (Canadian) province. If we can drive in their territory, they can drive in ours.\" \"This case was one of the most interesting I'd handled,\" said Patrick O'Brien, who grew up next to a reservation near here. \"Until then, I didn't realize that Indian tribes had rights. I thought a tribe was just a bunch of Indians living on a reservation, subject to state law.\"

They regulate registration, design and issue plates and seek reciprocity agreements with states. Where a state's name normally appears on the standard 7-by-12-inch plates are tribal names such as Menominee, Absentee Shawnee, Kiowa and Turtle Mountain. The greater value of tribal plates, however, is that they are a public declaration and practical exercise of tribal government sovereignty, said Roger Jourdain, former Red Lake tribal chairman who developed the license-plate idea in the 1950s. In South Dakota, however, Oglala Sioux who drive off their reservation with only tribal plates are likely to be arrested, said Gerald Big Crow, a tribal councilor. So members display state and tribal plates, he said.

With the advent of antibiotics in the 1950s, most patients could be treated at home. In 1961, [Glen Lake] became Glen Lake San/Oak Terrace Nursing Home as inpatient TB care was phased out. In its heyday, the sanitarium had been rated with National Jewish Hospital in Denver and Saranac Lake sanitarium in New York as the best in the country, said Victor Funk, 90, a Glen Lake physician from 1924 to 1958. People infected with AIDS are far more likely to develop TB, especially strains difficult to treat, said Richard J. O'Brien, chief of the clinical research branch of the CDC's Division of Tuberculosis Control. He reported last week that the only available test for TB is ineffective if a person also is infected with the human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS.

Aubid was one of few high-ranking priests in the Midewin or Grand Medicine Society, traditional religion of the Chippewas. His family was among those that kept the religion alive during the century that began in the 1870s when disapproving Christians forced it underground. Aubid, who spoke fluent English with a Chippewa accent, became a teacher for those seeking a return to their ancestral faith. Midewin Medicine Man Nee-Ba-Geshig, also known as Archie Mosay, 85, of the St. Croix Chippewa Band of Wisconsin, sat quietly at the front of the room alongside Midewin leaders from three other bands. Reflecting the Midewin emphasis on humility, the priests looked like any rural Chippewas, wearing blue jeans, work shirts, beaded visored caps and a dignified, retiring demeanor. The medicine man directed the group to stay indoors with Aubid during the meal. Later, more cigarettes were passed and lit, and several of Aubid's close friends and students spoke in English of their regard for him. [Mushkooub] thanked the group for coming to \"share this final meal\" with his father.
