Activities included basketball skills com- petitions, an eating contest, free food and more. The event took Thursday– Sunday, July 26–29 place at the Civic Cen- ter and Site II basket- 10am –10pm ball court and included a 3-on-3 prize tour- nament and a 5-on-5 tournament between OEW staff and Oneida community members. The event was brought to Oneida by Intertribal youth from all across North America.

CORRECTION In the June 21, 2018, issue of the Kalihwisaks the article titled “Special General Tribal Council meeting convened” incorrectly re- fers to the tabled Employment Law agenda item as having been brought forward by Madelyn Genskow during the June 18 GTC meeting. This agenda item was tabled by Ms. Genskow in a pre- vious meeting and was not her item. The Kalihwisaks apologizes for the error.

Local July 19, 2018 • Wisk 5 ‘Diane’s’ demolition completed

Kali photo/Lorenzo Funmaker The building formerly known as ‘Diane’s Bar’, located at W140 Service Road in Oneida, has been torn down. The property was purchased by the Oneida Nation after a fire destroyed the once popular tavern in 2014. Environmental, Health, Safety, and Land Project Manager Kurt Jordan oversaw the demolition which was completed by Mike Skolaski, Shannon Ninham, and Terry Bain. The Town of Oneida Fire Department’s Dylan Pelky assisted with the project by donating the use of fire hoses from the department.
