I will share my travels of the past month and updates on business decisions made that effect our tribe. Ball and Dice Update I am happy to report that we, the Executive Committee, passed a Resolution on June 20, 2018 to approve implementing the Ball and Dice games into our casinos. The U.S. Department of Interior (DOI) had set a deadline of June 28, 2018 and I am glad to report that we have made that deadline. As I attended The Sovereignty Symposium at the Skirvin Hotel on June 6 – 7, 2018 there was a session on Gaming, “Recognition of the 30th anniversary of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act”. The Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association (OIGA) is coordinating with the Oklahoma Tribes to send in the adopted compact changes. Once DOI receives the documents, it will be published in the Federal Register. That will indicate that we have been approved. The Ball and Dice should be approved by DOI by mid-August. Oklahoma Native Assets Coalition (ONAC) ONAC is a nonprofit Native asset building coalition that works with tribes and partners interested in establishing asset-building initiatives and programs in Native communities, for the purpose of creating greater opportunities for economic self-sufficiency for tribal citizens. The meeting was held on June 5, 2018 at the Jim Thorpe Event Space, in Oklahoma City. I want to congratulate the Absentee Shawnee Housing Authority for their Award they received at the meeting. It was a 2017 Match Savings Mini Award Grant. The Tribe thanks Executive Director Sherry Drywater and her Staff of the Absentee Shawnee Housing Authority for a job well done. Gubernatorial Forum The Southern Plains Tribal Health Board will be sponsoring an Oklahoma Gubernatorial Tribal Town Hall with Tribal Leaders for discussion with the gubernatorial candidates. It will be held on Thursday, September 13, 2018 from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. at the Metro Technology Center, Spring lake Campus Auditorium, on 1900 Spring lake Drive, Oklahoma City, OK 73111. The event is open to the public I encourage our tribal members to attend if you can. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rule Change Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires Federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertaking on historic properties. On May 3, 2018, the FCC published a final rule exempting small wireless facilities deployed on non-Tribal lands from the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review; concluding these facilities are not “undertaking” major Federal actions. The rule change is designed to facilitate the deployment of next-generation 5G telecommunications networking equipment, utilizing smaller towers than traditional cellular technology installations. However, besides exempting small cell facilities from review, the rule also changes the process for large, traditional cell towers, including shortening the timeline for tribal review, and advising that tribes need not be paid up-front fees for towers placed on tribal lands and industry may hire non-tribal consultants to help assess the mitigate tribal impacts. Some tribes have filed, and more are contemplating filing, litigation to stop the planned implementation of the rules, which are to go into Government July 2018 effect on July 2, 2018 (parties that wish to file suit must do so by that date).

Reduce your chances of getting a tick borne disease by using repellents, checking for ticks, and showering after being outdoors. If you have a tick bite followed by a fever or rash, seek medical attention. Gardening, camping, hiking, and playing outdoors – when enjoying these activities, don’t forget to take steps to prevent bites from ticks that share the outdoors. Ticks can infect humans with bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause serious illness. BEFORE YOU GO OUTDOORS: Know where to expect ticks. Ticks live in grassy, brushy, or wooded areas, or even on animals, so spending time outside camping, gardening, or hunting could bring you in close contact with ticks. Many people get ticks in their own yard or neighborhood. Treat clothing and gear with products containing permethrin. Permethrin can be used to treat boots, clothing and camping gear and remain protective through several washings. Use Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus, or 2-undecanone. EPA’s helpful search tool can help you find the product that best suits your needs. Always follow product instructions. Do not use insect repellent on babies younger than 2 months old. Do not use products containing oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE) or para-menthane-diol (PMD) on children under 3 years old. DEET—General Fact Sheet DEET is an insect repellent that is used in products to prevent bites from insects such as mosquitoes, biting flies, fleas and small flying insects. DEET is a colorless liquid that has a faint odor and does not dissolve easily in water. DEET was developed by the U.S. Army in 1946 for protection of soldiers in insect-infested areas. Insect repellents containing DEET have been used by the general public in the United States since 1957. It has been used in a number of insect repellent products including liquid sprays, lotions, and sticks. It has been estimated that about 30% of the U.S. population uses one or more products that contain DEET every year. Always follow label instructions and take steps to avoid exposure. If any exposures occur, be sure to follow the First Aid instructions on the product label carefully. For additional treatment advice, contact the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222. If you wish to discuss a pesticide problem, please call 1-800-858-7378. Scientists do not know exactly how DEET works on all insects. Some insects sense people by detecting the chemicals from our bodies and in the air that we breathe out. It has been shown that insects exposed to DEET are not able to locate a person or animal because they cannot detect them. ENSURING SAFETY: Remember these important points to use repellents safely Applying the Product: Read and Follow the label directions to ensure proper use; be sure you July 2018 understand how much to apply. · Apply repellents only to exposed skin and/or clothing. Do not use under clothing. · Do not apply near eyes and mouth, and apply sparingly around ears. · When using sprays, do not spray directly into face; spray on hands first and then apply to face. · Never use repellents over cuts, wounds, or irritated skin. · Do not spray in enclosed areas. · Avoid breathing a spray product. DO NOT USE IT NEAR FOOD · Check the label to see if there are warnings about flammability. If so, do not use around open flames or lit cigarettes. · After returning indoors, wash treated skin and clothes with soap and water. · Do not use any product on pets or other animals unless the label clearly states it is for animals. · Store insect repellents safely out of the reach of children, in a locked utility cabinet or garden shed. What if you find a tick? What to Do if You Find an Attached Tick. Remove the attached tick as soon as you notice it by grasping with tweezers, as close to the skin as possible, and pulling it straight out. For detailed information about tick removal, see the tick removal page. Watch for signs of illness such as rash or fever in the days and weeks following the bite, and see a health care provider if these develop. Your risk of acquiring a tick-borne illness depends on many factors, including where you live, what type of tick bit you, and how long the tick was attached. If you become ill after a tick bite, see a health care provider. Reduce Ticks in Your Yard Modify your landscape to create Tick-Safe Zones. Regularly remove leaf litter and clear tall grasses and brush around homes, and place wood chips or gravel between lawns and wooded areas to keep ticks away from recreational areas, and keep play areas and playground equipment away from away from shrubs, bushes, and other vegetation. Consider using a chemical control agent. Effective tick control chemicals are available for use by the homeowner, or they can be applied by a professional pest control expert, and even limited applications can greatly reduce the number of ticks. A single springtime application of acaricide can reduce the population of ticks that cause Lyme disease by 68–100%. Discourage deer. Removing plants that attract deer and constructing physical barriers may help discourage deer from entering your yard and bringing blacklegged ticks with them. AFTER YOU COME INDOORS: • Check your clothing for ticks. Ticks may be carried into the house on clothing. Any ticks that are found should be removed. • Tumble dry clothes in a dryer on high heat for 10 minutes to kill ticks on dry clothing after you come indoors. If the clothes are damp, additional time may be needed. If the clothes require washing first, hot water is recommended. Cold and medium temperature water will not kill ticks effectively. Emergency Management July 2018 • Shower soon after being outdoors. Showering within two hours of coming indoors has been shown to reduce your risk of getting Lyme disease. Showering may help wash off unattached ticks and it is a good opportunity to do a tick check. Check your body for ticks after being outdoors. Conduct a full body check upon return from potentially tick-infested areas, which even includes your back yard. Use a hand-held or full-length mirror to view all parts of your body. Check these parts of your body and your child’s body for ticks: • Under the arms • In and around the ears • Inside belly button • Back of the knees • In and around the hair • Between the legs • Around the waist The correct way to remove a tick: How to remove a tick 1. Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible. 2. Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don’t twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin. If this happens, remove the mouth-parts with tweezers. If you are unable to remove the mouth easily with clean tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal. 3. After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol or soap and water. 4. Never crush a tick with your fingers. Dispose of a live tick by put- ne se wi pe ti ke ki-te ne ya li ne ting it in alcohol, placing it in a sealed bag/container, wrapping it tightly in tape, or flushing it down the toilet. 5. Follow-up 6. If you develop a rash or fever within several weeks of removing a tick, see your doctor. Be sure to tell the doctor about your recent tick bite, when the bite occurred, and where you most likely acquired the tick. 7. Avoid folklore remedies such as “painting” the tick with nail polish or petroleum jelly, or using heat to make the tick detach from the skin. Your goal is to remove the tick as quickly as possible–do not wait for it to detach.
