Elders seeking help in making jam Clockwise from left, Tribal spouses Ron Tuomi and Bob Duncan and Tribal Elder Gladys Hobbs assemble a wood duck nesting box at the Elders Activity Center on Monday, Feb. 22. The Tribe’s Fish & Wildlife Committee had the idea to build the boxes that will be placed around the Reservation, and possibly some near ponds in Willamina and Sheridan. Tribal Council sponsored the project. Twelve boxes were built and Tribal Elder and committee Chair Harold Lyon cut the pieces for the boxes. Tribal Elder John Lillard adds a screw as he helps assemble a wood duck nesting box at the Elders Activity Center on Monday, Feb. 22. Tribal Elders are seeking small jelly jars, donations of sugar and vol- unteers to help make jam for Elder Honor Day in July. Drop off donations at the Elders Activity Center, 48940 Blacktail Drive.
