One of the Oldest Living Winnebago Veteran Shares his story

Halloween in Winnebago was very different this year because of the pandemic;

however, the community was still able to

safely celebrate with a drive-thru event

at the EduCare parking lot! (View more

photos from the Halloween event in this

issue.)

Robert Franklin Nash the 3rd oldest living

Winnebago Tribal Member during WWII

1944.

Congratulations to the recent graduates

of Fatherhood/Motherhood is Sacred!

This event was held on November 4th at

the Urban Native Center in Sioux City, IA.

Traffic in Winnebago was almost madness last week, from the construction

work along Bluff street to the transport of

this house through that same construction zone. Thanks to local law enforcement officers for stepping in and directing

traffic!

Winonah Leader Charge

Winnebago, NE—Native Americans play a vital role in the United States Armed Forces, serving

at a higher rate than any other

ethnic group.

According to the Department of

Defense, American Indians and

Alaska Natives enlist in the military at higher per capita rate than

any other racial or ethnic group

in the United States. More than

23,000 of the 1.2 million men

and women on active duty in the

U.S. military today are American

Indians or Alaska Natives.

Army Rank Sergeant Robert

Franklin Nash, the 3rd oldest

living Winnebago Tribal Member,

was drafted on November 3, 1942.

He served during WWII. Sgt. Nash

began his service working in offi ces traveling to several Army

camps in the United States before

being shipped overseas to Europe.

“You could tell when a group

of people would get uniforms.

When you get a suntan uniform,

they knew they were going to the

Pacific. The day they called us

out and gave us uniforms, we got

all wool uniforms. So, we knew

we were going to Europe. You

go where they send you. They

brought us to this big ship called

the Queen Elizabeth” said Sgt.

Nash. It took them about five days

to get to Europe. Stg. Nash landed

in Scotland then boarded a train

to Southampton. “I about froze

to death there. The Army only

gives you one blanket. You have

a big heavy overcoat. I had two

wool shirts and two wool pants.

They had camp cots and a tent. I

knew the camp cots; the air was

going to come up through. I found

craft paper and put it on that

canvas cot so it wouldn’t let the

air go through. It was cold. It was

wintertime” shared Sgt. Nash. He

continued traveling across Europe. Arriving in Belgium where

he joined a 200-man unit. They

walked and marched along the

river.

Stg. Nash explained, “We were

looking for stragglers or Germans.

The Germans were giving up.”

Sgt. Nash and his unit cleared

areas that the forces overtook.

“The citizens of the towns were

trying to get out because where

they lived there was fighting. They

were walking along the highways,

both ways. Some of them were

pushing carts and wagons, trying to take some belongings with

them. In some of those towns

there was nothing left in them.”

“They (Germans) gave up. The

Germans who were discovered

were glad the war was over for

them” said Sgt. Nash.

Sgt. Nash then went to Frankfurt where he worked as a Company Grade Officer for the United

States Forces European Theatre

in a big office building promoting officers. “He was in Europe

for 1 year, 4 months and 1 day.

I guess he was counting” shared

his daughter Melissa Nash.

Army Rank Sergeant Robert

Franklin Nash was Honorable

Discharged March 30, 1946. He

served 4 years.

Thank you for your sacrifice,

your bravery, and your service!

To all those who have served,

and those who continue to serve.

Happy Veterans Day to all our

soldiers, both past and present.

A lot construction is currently taking

place in Winnebago! Here is an updated

look at the installation site for the big

screen projector that was put in place for

streaming COVID response videos, Tribal

Council meetings, and other live streamed

updates.

On November 6th, the HoChunk Renaissance crew made corn hominy while

filming a how-to video. The Winnebago

Pandemic Taskforce commissioned a series of how-to videos so that Winnebago

Tribal Members can learn. (Watašoroc –

The 2020 Atokad Horse Races took place Oct. 17 and 18 in South Sioux City, Nebraska. The expanded gaming measures passed recently

by Nebraska voters allow the creation of casinos at licensed horse race tracks in the state, including the Atokad track that is owned by HoChunk, Inc.

November 3 was a historic night

for the Tribe and the entire state of

Nebraska. With the resounding win

for initiatives 429, 430 and 431, a

bright future has been secured for

the Winnebago Tribe.

Ho-Chunk, Inc. has partnered with

the Nebraska Horsemen’s Benevolent

and Protective Association (HBPA) to

establish casinos at licensed horse

racing tracks in the state. Agreements

are in place to manage casinos in

Omaha and Lincoln, in addition to

the currently owned Atokad property

in South Sioux City.

The facilities are uniquely poised

for success given the Tribe’s background in gaming, having established

Winnavegas as one of the first casinos

in Iowa and the gaming operations

here in Winnebago.

WarHorse Gaming LLC will be

established by Ho-Chunk, Inc. as an

entirely new division to handle the

V i s i t

u s

a t

expansion into casino gaming. Once

fully established, the division will

likely employ more than 4,600 people

statewide, with several hundred of

those positions here locally to support the expansion of Atokad. Based

on projections, Ho-Chunk, Inc. will

become the third largest employer in

the state of Nebraska.

It’s also important to point out

that all significant business growth

requires corresponding financial investments. To bring the projects to

their fullest potential and reap the

most benefit, it will involve the largest

investment to date for the Winnebago

people, and the team is already identifying investors to secure financing

for the expansion.

There is a lot of work to be done

before casinos can be opened in the

state. Since this is not federally regulated gaming that like at WinnaVegas,

we will need to work with the State of

Nebraska to establish rules and regulations. Casino gaming is completely

new to Nebraska, so those rules and

regulations do not yet exist. All parties involved are optimistic that these

approvals will be timely since the

initiatives were so very popular with

the voters.

Though there is a lot of significant

work yet to be done before any grand

opening, please know that the team is

working very hard to move this along

as quickly as possible while guaranteeing it will be done to the highest

standards that are expected by the

Winnebago people. As the project

develops, regular communications

will be posted in the WIN and via

Facebook to keep the Tribe informed

along the way.

Vice Chairman of the

Winnebago Tribal Council

WINNEBAGO PUBLIC SCHOOL

Compilation of WPS Star Students:

Kavion Blackhawk

Nebraska Healthy Schools Program

Recognized 38 Award Winning Schools

From his teacher, Miss Cerveny:

KJ is such a hard worker and a great

role model for the other students in class.

Although he is an “in person learner” this

year, online learning didn’t overwhelm

him during our shut down early in the

school year. KJ has continued to turn in

work on the day it is assigned, when he is

both at home and in school. He receives

scores that show he is taking his time,

watching the instructional videos, and

receiving support from his parents. His

mother, Lynelle, has been great to work

with, and keeps me updated with any

questions or concerns she may have. This

really makes the transition between in

person and online learning very smooth,

thank you for all that you do!

From Mom, Lynelle:

KJ has always done so well in school,

we couldn’t be more proud of him. When

he briefly transitioned to online learning, he stayed on his regular in-school

schedule to help him complete his daily assignments. Him taking initiative to

stay on schedule and discipline himself really shows how great of a student he is.

Arai and Arain Marrufo

From Mrs. Faulkner:

Working with the Marrufos has been great. Tara is always very attentive to the

assignments and does everything she can to help make the situation the best it

can be for her children and myself. Education is definitely a priority for them,

and it shows! Keep up the good work!

From Mrs. Aman:

Arian gets his work done and gets it turned in promptly. Mom and Dad, Tara

and Kris are very good about helping to make sure work is turned in. The whole

family is great about asking questions when needed to make sure work is done

correctly. Arian also shows up for google meets when invited. I miss having him

in class, especially his humor. I am glad he and his family are able to meet the

challenge of virtual learning!

From Mrs. Snyder:

I appreciate the time and effort that this family puts into the education of

their children. We are always able to find answers to questions when we talk.

Our Thursday Zoom meetings are fun and I think we all look forward to seeing

our friends. I tell my families that it takes a village to raise a child and we are

all trying to work together for the best of the students right now.

From Tara Hernandez and Kristofer Marrufo:

Education in our home is very important, everyone in our household is currently in school taking online classes from Educare, Winnebago Public, and College. Arian and Aria get their laptops out, books ready and begin on their own. We

all sit at the table and help each other out with questions, work through to get

the answers, and get their work done. We all have fun when it comes to making

little projects. The one thing I love most is that Arian and Aria are always willing to help their little brother and sister with their homework. I know that they

miss their friends and teachers, they get excited for their weekly zoom meetings

so they can seeing everyone. A BIG Thank You to Mrs. Snyder, Mrs. Aman, and

Mrs. Faulkner for always checking up on the kids and making homebound that

much easier.

Healthy Children Learn Better

On October 20th, 2020 The

Nebraska Healthy Schools Program recognized 38 Award

Winning Schools who prioritize the health and well-being

in schools across Nebraska.

The Nebraska Department of

Education, Healthy Schools

Program has recognized Winnebago Public Schools with a

Gold Level Healthy Schools in

Action Award for their exemplary efforts in promoting and

supporting healthy school environments.

“At no other time in our recent history has the health and

well-being of our school communities been more critical for

student success than it is today.

The COVID-19 pandemic has

demonstrated the need for communities, schools, and families

to work together to ensure that

children’s physical, social-emotional, and mental health needs

are being met. We would like to

take this opportunity to recognize schools that prioritize the

education of the whole child,

working to support students

to ensure they are healthy,

safe, engaged, supported, and

challenged,” said Jessie Coffey, Registered Dietitian and

Whole Child Coordinator at the

Nebraska Department of Education.

In addition to recognizing

schools for their wellness efforts, school staff, community

members, public health professionals, and health advocates

joined their peers in a virtual

Healthy School Conference to

learn about best practices for

promoting whole child efforts

for staff, students, and families. Conference sessions addressed the current pandemic

and health challenges in our

schools and strategies to create

a new normal while supporting

the needs of the whole child.

Talena Bird

Message from Mrs. Finzen:

I would like to nominate Talena Bird

as a star Student for the 4th grade.

Talena is always enthusiastic about

tackling her classroom assignments.

She does this in an independent and

organized manner. Learning from home

highlights what a conscientious and

hard worker Talena is. She truly enjoys

learning and is always committed to

doing her best. Talena exhibits a positive outlook and attitude while working

virtually. She uses her time wisely and

is well prepared for class. She completes

her work every day and seeks out new

challenges. Talena never falls behind.

Her enthusiasm for the activities assigned through Google Classroom shows she

is able to conduct herself with a great deal of maturity. Talena is never hesitant

to take the initiative and seeks out her daily assignments asking questions if she

is unsure of what to do. Her Mom, Jo-Leaha, helps Talena stay focused on the

tasks at hand and she sets a great example of the excellence that can be achieved

with cooperation between parents, students, and teachers.

Message from Mom:

Talena is a kind intelligent person. She gets her work done and also she asks

for help when needed. The subjects she likes in school are math and science.

She loves to learn new things.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thoughts on Iowa Karma...

Ho-Chunk, Inc. was started 26 years

ago. It was funded by profits from WinnaVegas. 1994 was the most profitable

year in the history of WinnaVegas. It

was so profitable because we had removed the management company that

was taking 40 percent of the profits.

Also, Iowa had removed the betting

restrictions they had imposed on gaming facilities. Removing the restrictions

was a mixed blessing because it also

made it financially feasible to bring a

bigger boat to Sioux City and paved the

way for the three casinos in Council

Bluffs.

The Tribe knew that the new competition would hurt WinnaVegas badly.

The Tribe made an extra $24 million

during the 18-month period while the

Council Bluffs casinos were being built

and made two visionary long-term decisions. The Tribe used $15 million to

start its investment fund and invested

$9 million to start Ho-Chunk, Inc., to

diversify the tribal economy. Both of

those investments are still here and

playing their intended part.

After the new casinos opened in

Council Bluffs, WinnaVegas lost a

few hundred employees and profits

dropped dramatically. No one cared,

but us. WinnaVegas was able to battle

back over the years and was able to

recover a portion of the lost profits.

However, Iowa started a new contest for

the Sioux City license. We competed

for the casino license, but lost to the

Hard Rock. Iowa’s gaming has hurt

WinnaVegas again. But once again, no

one cared, but us.

We bought the South Sioux City horse

track 10 years ago, to protect WinnaVegas from competition. However, after

we lost the license battle to the Hard

Rock, we decided to kick up our efforts

in Nebraska. Ho-Chunk, Inc. has spent

3 years trying to get casino gaming at

Nebraska horse racing tracks. Our

efforts had to survive signature gathering during a pandemic, a supreme

court challenge and high-level political

opposition. On election day we won

that fight with over 65 percent of the

statewide vote.

We own the track in South Sioux City

and will develop and manage the tracks

in Omaha and Lincoln. Ironically, the

horse tracks in Nebraska have been on

life support because of the impact of the

Iowa Casinos on their business also.

So hopefully in a year or so, we will be

operating at least 3 gaming operations

in Nebraska.

I gave a little speech on election night.

I told them story of why Ho-Chunk, Inc.

was formed and how our tribal casino

was hurt by the Iowa casinos. The

Tribe planted the seed that became

Ho-Chunk, Inc. all those years ago.

Now we have grown up and we intend

to take from them--just like they did to

us. Karma is a funny thing.

By the way, we named our new gaming operation WarHorse Gaming. We

think it is representative of the battle it

took our tribe to get to this stage and

acknowledges our partnership with the

horse racing industry. We are working

on a logo and all I have said so far is

make it cool!

There is a lot of work to get done.

Building three casinos from scratch

will not be easy and will take a major

commitment of resources. However, if

it works it could help secure the Winnebago Tribe’s future and create a lot of

jobs. Just a little reminder: Ho-Chunk,

Inc.’s mission has always been securing

the Tribe’s financial security and to create job opportunities. We are still at it!

JESUS OUR SAVIOR

LUTHERAN OUTREACH

"Draw near to God"

Let me begin with a question for you:

Are you closer to God today than you

were at the start of 2020? If so, than

how? If not, than why not?

When was the last time that you read

from God's Sacred Word? Please do not

say to yourself that you have no time to

read the Bible. What are you spending

your time doing? Be honest. If you would

like to learn how God works during and

in spite of a pandemic, than this is the

best resource available.

'Your word is a lamp to my feet and

a light to my path' [Psalm 119:105].

'Let the word of Christ dwell in you

richly, teaching and admonishing one

another in all wisdom, singing psalms

and hymns and spiritual songs, with

thankfulness in your hearts to God' [Colossians 3:16]. In order for the Word of

Christ to dwell in one richly, one needs

to read or hear this Sacred Word.

And how about your prayer life? Has

2020 moved you to turn to Mauna in

prayer or against Him? Have you trusted

in Mauna more and more or less and

less? Or maybe you have no spiritual relationship with Mauna or His Son. Then

you are on your own. Lord have mercy.

At one time, the people of the tribe of

Israel were given a high priest who was,

by God's grace, allowed to draw near to

YAHWEH/Mauna on their behalf. He

offered up sacrifices and with incense

through his prayers sought God's mercy

and forgiveness. In time, Jesus came

down from heaven and served as the

high priest. Jesus was not only the high

priest, He was also the sacrificial lamb

of God. Since Jesus' bloody sacrifice

was accepted, we know this because

He rose victoriously from the grave,

you and I now are able to draw near to

our Creator.

The writer of the book of Hebrews

sums it up in this way: 'Therefore,

brothers (and sisters in Christ), since

we have confidence to enter the holy

places by the blood of Jesus, by the

new and living way that he opened for

us through the curtain, that is, through

his flesh, and since we have a great

priest over the house of God, let us

draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and

our bodies washed with pure water. Let

us hold fast the confession of our hope

without wavering, for he who promised

is faithful' [Hebrews 10:19–23].

When was the last time that you

attended a prayer meeting or Divine

service? I am very aware of the fears of

getting the COVID virus. However, has

this stopped you from going to Walmart

or the grocery store? Has this stopped

you from picking up your mail?

Maybe you have watched a worship

service on television - possibly Main

Street Living on Channel 9 at 10 a.m.

Or you have taken in one of my FaceBook Live messages. This is a good and

safe alternative. The question is have

you done so weekly or recently?

I close by returning to the book of

Hebrews: 'And let us consider how to

stir up one another to love and good

works, not neglecting to meet together,

as is the habit of some, but encouraging

one another, and all the more as you

see the Day drawing near' [Hebrews

10:24–25].

Garden Update: Week of November 2, 2020

By Lance Morgan,

Contact me at hochunk@aol.com

After 18 years of dedicated service, Greg

Bass, Sr. is retiring

By Kathleen Cue, UNL Extension

Horticulture Educator

Greg started and developed our facilities department, which takes care

of all grounds keeping and landscaping

for our Winnebago properties.

One of his favorite projects: planting

243 trees, which includes an orchard.

Today, trees dot yards in Ho-Chunk

Village and line 1 Mission Drive, leading up to our corporate headquarters.

Some are evergreens, others bear fruit.

“Those trees will be a lasting testament to his vision and hard work,”

said CEO Lance Morgan, who recruited

Greg when Ho-Chunk Village was still

a cornfield.

Like the trees he planted, Greg got

to grow with the company.

As a manager, he was entrusted to

hire his team and had the opportunity

to buy high-quality equipment and

supplies to do their best work.

In retirement, his attention will turn

toward cleaning up his garage, working on his vehicles and tending to his

wife’s “honey-do list.” He’s also looking

forward to having more time to help his

family with home projects.

“For all of my children and grandchildren to eventually have a place they

call home – not just to rent but to own,

be homeowners – that’s in my prayers,”

he said. “I’m going to try do whatever

they need done, show them how to do

it or help them do it.”

Filling his management role is

Trevor Wilkie, who has worked with

Greg for 16 years.

“On the job and away from the job,

we’ve had a close relationship,” Trevor

said. “He’s always been like the fatherfigure that I never had. He’s taught me

a lot over the years, and I appreciate

everything he’s done for me.”

With Greg’s guidance, Trevor honed

his carpentry skills and learned how to

make wooden picnic tables that can be

found throughout Winnebago.

“He’s always guided me in the right

direction,” Trevor said.

Greg lived out our mission through

his commitment to the community. He

adopted and maintained the community basketball court and frequently completed tasks for local senior citizens.

He’s also helped honor cultural

practices at different occasions. We’ve

been fortunate to have him offer a traditional Native American blessing at

the opening of many of our properties

and events, including last year’s 25th

Anniversary Community Celebration,

as pictured.

Greg, thank you for all you’ve done

for us and the community. We wish you

all the best.

Landscape Fabric

Whether you use landscape fabric beneath mulch in outdoor spaces depends on what you know about

it. The two main reasons landscape

fabric is used are A) a desire to

keep weeds down and B) employing

any means necessary to keep rock

mulches from sinking into the soil

after a rain. Unfortunately, neither

of these reasons assures landscape

fabric will function as planned.

Here is why.

Landscape fabric is a temporary

weed barrier, suppressing weeds

for a few years. Ultimately soil

and seeds blow in, settling over

the fabric and creating the perfect

environment for seed germination.

Emerging weed seedlings send roots

through perforations in the landscape fabric, growing their merry

way downward. When these weeds

are pulled, roots pushing through

the landscape fabric will cling to the

fabric as well. Then weed removal

entails disentangling roots from

the landscape fabric, which has

been pulled up too. Once weed development becomes an issue, weed

problems are ongoing because of

continuing accumulation of soil and

weed seeds above the fabric.

The second reason not to use

landscape fabric, and a more compelling one, has to do with creating

a healthy growing environment for

desired plants to thrive. All plant

roots respire as part of their natural

growth and development, taking in

oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases, as it is

called, is interrupted by the presence of landscape fabric and rock

mulch. The results are less plant

vigor, more plant stress, and less

natural defenses to ward off insect

and disease problems. If you have

ever removed landscape fabric, it

was likely the soil beneath was

slimy, a sure indication of a poor

growing environment for plant roots.

Are there instances where landscape fabric has an application?

Yes. In windswept environments,

landscape fabric and rock mulch

may be the only thing protecting

plant roots. Master Gardener Lynn

had just such a situation, with the

wind rounding the corner of his

house with the fury of a wind tunnel.

Everything planted near this corner

died, with wood chips and soil blowing away, exposing plant roots. He

found landscape fabric and rock

mulch were the only things immune

to the wind and protective of plant

roots. L ynn eventually converted

the space over from landscape fabric and rock mulch to solely wood

chips, once a nearby windbreak

grew enough to provide protection.

When planning your landscaping

projects, consider landscape fabric

as one expense to do without. Not

only will this save you some money

and effort, but your plants will

thank you with increased health too.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Senator Joni Albrecht WEEKLY UPDATE

November 9, 2020

Election Day has come and

gone-at least for Nebraska. The

year 2020 has been very different

than any we have ever known and

the election cycle has been no different. In District 17 for instance,

the registered voters in rural Wayne

County voted by mail while registered voters in the City of Wayne

voted had the traditional poll open

for in-person voting on Election

Day. Candidates campaigned

different throughout the nation

and state, as well. Door-to-door

voter contact was replaced with

campaign car cruises, car rallies,

or boat rallies across the country.

As for me, I greatly missed the opportunities to meet and talk with

more of my neighbors during our

typical fair season. Nothing was

typical, yet we moved through it

together. Our families laughed,

loved, and eventually harvested.

And, we voted.

Election night was a late night

for results in our area. Vote counts

came in around 10:30 p.m. from

Wayne County, and 12:30 a.m.

Wednesday for Thurston and Dakota Counties. For me, it was worth

the wait and I thank each person

who took part. According to the

Nebraska Secretary of State’s Office, 74.87% of registered voters in

Wayne County cast ballots, turnout

was 54.49% in Thurston County,

and 61.25% in Dakota County.

Each person in District 17 who

exercised their patriotism and right

to vote should be commended for

turning out in such a significant

way. I extend a special thank you

for the incredible vote of confidence

in electing me to represent you

again for the next four years. Again,

according the Secretary of State’s

updated website, I received 68.29%,

or 4,155 of the 6,084 votes cast in

Dakota County; 65.89%, or 1,393

of the 2,114 votes cast in Thurston

County, and 68.86%, or 2,746

of the 3,988 votes cast in Wayne

County, for a total of 68.06%, or

8,294 out of 12,186 votes cast in all

of District 17. It has been such an

honor and a privilege to serve Dakota, Thurston, and Wayne counties in northeast Nebraska. There

is much to do in the next four years

and I look forward to hearing your

concerns and being your voice on

issues facing the District and our

State in the Legislature.

Legislative Look ahead: Expect to

see some familiar issues addressed

right away when bills are introduced in the first ten days of the

2021 Session. There will certainly

be some focus on the impact of the

pandemic on the State’s economy,

education, and on families. Fortunately, Nebraska has exceeded

revenue forecasted numbers. In

light of the protests, riots, and unrest this summer throughout the

nation and in parts of Nebraska, I

expect we will also focus on public

safety and law and order.

My office has been working on

issues surrounding public safety,

protecting our children, ethanol production, expanding rural

broadband access, and further tax

relief. These are the issues that

best describe what you can expect

to see me champion in this upcoming session. In some cases, I will

introduce bills, in others I expect

to join my colleagues to develop

common-sense and practical solutions that help but do not further

burden taxpayers.

Concerns about public safety

and law and order seen across

the nation have also been part

of the Nebraska discussion. As

I mentioned several weeks ago, I

intend to introduce legislation to

improve public safety and give our

law enforcement, first responders,

and others the tools they need to

keep themselves safe while they

work to protect our families, businesses, and communities. I have

circulated a summary of the bill

amongst stakeholders for review

and have already received feedback.

As currently structured, the bill will

penalize rioting, inciting rioting,

and assaulting first responders by

throwing items including bodily

fluids or toxic substances or by

other means. It also increases penalties for certain crimes committed

against the person or property of

public safety officers, or threatening public safety by blocking public

roadways or other public ways.

I also intend to re-introduce

legislation bringing greater transparency and public access to

government meetings and to introduce one or more bills designed

to protect children in District 17

and throughout the State from

obscenity and abuse. These are all

areas of concern that I feel strongly

about, and that I believe most of

my colleagues feel strongly about,

as well. I plan to describe each of

my bills in more detail in my weekly

update as I get closer to introducing them in the 2021 Session.

COVID-19 update: Nebraska,

along with many other states, has

seen an increase in the number

of positive COVID-19 tests, and

related hospitalizations. My office

and the Governor’s office continue

to monitor the number of positive

tests, and the beds available for

potential hospitalizations. Like

you, we are hearing that companies are developing vaccines that

will hopefully be available soon.

Even so, the first line of defense is

each of us.

To slow the spread and potentially avoid infection, it is important

that we avoid the “Three Cs” outlined by the Governor: 1) crowded

places; 2) close contacts, and 3)

confined spaces.”

At a press briefing on November

5, the Governor also reinforced

the importance of basic health

habits of frequent hand washing

and staying at home when feeling

ill. Dr. Gary Anthone, Director of

Public Health for the State joined

the Governor at the briefing and

announced a campaign of Public

Service Announcement (PSA) in

English and Spanish, on radio, in

print, and through digital media to

encourage Nebraska residents to

follow the health safety practices.

On Monday, November 9, 2020,

the Governor discussed increased

hospitalizations and announced

a new Directed Health Measure

(DHM) effective Wednesday, November 11, 2020 in an effort to

keep resources available. He

reported currently there are 31%

of hospital beds available, 31%

of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds

available, and 71% of ventilators

statewide. The new DHM re-institutes some previous restrictions

requiring

1). Six foot (6’) separation in

businesses.

2). Masks must be worn in

businesses where 6’ separation is

not possible, like salons, massage

therapists, tattoo parlors, etc.

3). Bars, restaurants, places of

worship, and businesses must provide 6’ distance between groups,

with groups not exceeding eight (8)

persons. In bars and restaurants,

patrons must remain at tables

unless using restrooms, ordering

food, or playing games, in which

case, patrons must wear masks.

Groups seated at tables should not

be more than eight (8) people.

4). Gatherings: Indoor venues

are again restricted to 25% rated

occupancy. This includes arenas,

and other entertainment, and wedding venues. Dancing is restricted

to tableside dancing at wedding

events and recitals where distancing requirements can be observed.

5). Attendance at extra-curricular sports activities is limited to

family of athletes and media; and

6). Outdoor gatherings remain

at 100% rated occupancy, with

distancing requirements and consultation with local health officials

for crowds of 500 or more in any

venue, 1,000 in Omaha/Douglas

County.

DISTRICT 17 COVID-19 numbers: The following numbers of

positive tests were reported and

received by District 17 health departments for the period October

31 through November 6, 2020:

Dakota County:

+105 (2633)

Thurston County:

+83 (496)

Wayne County:

+103 (506)

As always, it is of great importance that I hear from my constituents to effectively do my job

as your voice in the Legislature. I

encourage you to contact me and I

look forward to hearing from you.

The Winnebago Tribal Council is 100% AGAINST Meth. Not only is Meth

harmful to the individual, it destroys families and our community. Meth

use is not the HoChunk/Winnebago way of life. On 12-30-19, during the

Winnebago Mid-monthly Tribal Council meeting, a motion was passed to

publish all meth related offenses occurring on the Winnebago reservation,

in the Winnebago Indian News.

The following individual(s) has been arrested for a meth offense…

As of 11-10-2020, no recent meth arrest(s) have been reported.
