Winnebago Football Earns Trip to the Championship Game

Victoria Kitcheyan on May 11th in the

Tribal Chambers.

Congratulations to the Winnebago Public

School’s One Act Play on their amazing performances during both May 11th

and May 12th shows. Thank you to Mrs.

Spirk and the students for all the hard

work and dedication!

A special thank you to Reva Decora, the

Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, Preserving

Native Families, and the Alcohol Program

for putting together the MMIW Healing

Walk (In honor of Kozee Decorah) on May

18th at the river road in Winnebago.

Winnebago, NE – The Winnebago

High School Football team find themselves facing a familiar foe for this year’s

championship game. The #1 ranked

Tiospa Zina will go head-to-head with

Winnebago in the All-Nations Football

League Championship game. Tiospa

Zina gave Winnebago their only loss back

in the beginning of May.

How did we get here?

Winnebago rebounded from their first

loss with a victory in Macy, Nebraska

against the #4 ranked Omaha Nation

Chiefs. The game was not Winnebago’s

best game but they got the job done.

The first two quarters found both teams

taking light jabs at each other. Neither

team could get their offense going and

the refs found themselves throwing a lot

of penalty flags. Antrell Harlan had two

touchdowns and Caleb Kearnes scored

a 10-yard touchdown. Omaha Nation

kept the game close and if it was not for

the Winnebago defense, the chiefs could

have pulled off the upset. Winnebago

produced 3 huge interceptions to seal

the win.

After the win, Winnebago was seeded

#2 in the playoffs. That put Winnebago

and the #3 ranked Lower Brule Sioux

on a collision course to battle it out in

the semi-final game. This game was

played on Friday, May 21 in Mitchell,

South Dakota at the Joe Quintal Football

Stadium. Lower Brule came out swinging and scored first on Winnebago. The

Indians then marched down the field and

scored, came up with an on-side kick and

scored again. Lower Brule made things

interesting with a 53-yard touchdown.

Winnebago was not fazed and decided to

go on a touchdown frenzy. The freshman

running back Antrell Harlan ended up

with 2 touchdowns, Senior Quarterback

Caleb Kearnes scored 2 touchdowns and

wide receiver Zaiden Bernie found the

end zone 6 times - (4) touchdowns and

(2) Two-point conversions. Winnebago

scored a season high of 58 points against

Lower Brule’s 28 points.

The Championship Game.

Tiospa Zina (1) won against Omaha

Nation (4) not allowing them to score.

After the game, Tiospa Zina called out

Winnebago in the live stream and got

their wish. This game is for the AllNations Championship title. Winnebago

is playing for the first time in the league

and earned 5 victories. “It’s hard to beat

a team twice if Winnebago wants it, they

can win. Limit the turn overs and Winnebago will be bringing back the trophy.

Tiospa Zina has a great QB and they

have speed. Winnebago should control

the tempo of the game by running power

football. We can’t hang our head if TZ

comes up with a big play. Last time, TZ

did a lot of talking on the field and got

into Winnebago’s head. That can’t happen this time.” said WTN Communications Officer and Football Announcer,

Garan Coons.

The Winnebago Indian News predicts

the championship game results – Winnebago 32, Tiospa Zina 30

Due to publishing deadlines, the results of the championship game will be

in the June 12th issue.

Fatherhood/Motherhood Is Sacred Conference: Battling substance

abuse with Spirituality and our traditional cultural way of life

Mr. Al Pooley shared many good words

and stories during the Fatherhood/

Motherhood is Sacred Conference on May

19th-21st. (If you missed the event, you

can check out the footage from the 3-day

event on the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska’s Facebook & YouTube pages.)

Mr. Terrance Medina Fatherhood/Motherhood Is Scared Trainer Facilitator & Probation Officer and Judge Kenneth Vampola who was one of

the speakers at the conference.

Winonah Leader Charge

At the end of Day 1, Fatherhood/Motherhood is Sacred members and special

guests got together for a group photo.

Winnebago Indian News would like to

wish the best of luck to the Winnebago

Indians as they play in the All-Nations

Championship game on Thursday, May

27th. Here’s the team right before they hit

the road to Mitchell, SD.

SLOAN, IA— Fatherhood is Sacred/

Mother is Sacred Conference was held

on May 19th at the WinnaVegas Casino

Resort. The three-day event was made

possible by a grant from the Substance

Abuse Mental Health Administration

Services sponsored Winnebago Alcohol

program and the Winnebago Human

Services program.

The Fatherhood is Sacred/Mother is

Sacred program started 19 years ago, the

Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska was recognized as the third chapter in the country.

“The program (Fatherhood is Sacred/

Mother is Sacred) is based off of five

principals: Choices, teachable, service,

wisdom and Creator. The goal of the

program is coming to the bright light of

Creator God. Our approach is the Native

American Fatherhood Family Associa-

V i s i t

u s

a t

tion (NAFFA). Our method is to teach the

fathers and mothers to be uplifting, encouraging, assisting, and teaching. This is

to try to help our relatives make a change

in their life” said Fatherhood/Motherhood

Is Scared Trainer Facilitator & Probation

Officer Terry Medina.

“It is still helping me today. It was introduced to me while at the Domestic Shelter

in 2010. Being in an active addiction and

being in an abusive relationship you are

always looking for a safe place, that’s what

motherhood brought for me. Something in

the curriculum was a guide for my identity

and that gave me purpose, with purpose

you are able to take care of your family.

You start expanding outward. We have to

be nice to our children and go out and

be nice to others” shared Denise Milford

Facilitator for Motherhood Is Sacred &

Lead Advocate for ATLAS.

“The event was very successful in

terms of establishing new relationships

and partnerships with State agencies and

organizations” shared Medina.

The Winnebago Communications

Department broadcasted the Father hood/Motherhood Is Scared Conference

on the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska’s

YouTube Channel and Facebook page. It

averaged 150 views a day and had 154

in attendance.

Anyone interested in learning more

about Fatherhood is Sacred/Mother is

Motherhood Is Sacred is being held every Tuesday at ATLAS of Winnebago starting at 11:00 a.m. For more information

We only get to pick 3!? Please ask us

top 3 native songs next time because I

have some favorites for those too...here

is mine.

Throw away your television by Red

Hot Chili Peppers, The live at Slane

Castle version. The reason is because

the guitar solo in that song is phenomenal!

How deep is your love by Dru Hill.

The reason is Sisqo is quite the singer!

Please bring back the R & B singing

groups!

Thrill is Gone, live at crossroads by

B.B. King. The reason is that this song

was a historical one for blues and I

grew up listening to it.

It is tough to only choose 3 songs because I am such a music fanatic, but I

will go with:

Wicked Games by The Weekend because the lyrics are honest.

Lithium by Nirvana because of all the

metaphors, leaving the lyrics up for

interpretation.

Holla at me by Tupac because the lyrics and his energy are fire. He is the

G.O.A.T.!

More like top 100 for me but I'll do my

current top 3, starting with the best: 1)

Good News x Mac Miller- I think it's a

beautiful song created by a beautiful

soul, gone too soon. 2) Bigger Than Life

x Nipsey Hussle, it's the lyrics for me.

He was one of the best! 3) Snowchild

x The Weeknd, I would've listed his

whole collection buut..

It’s hard for me to narrow down 3 songs

for overall because I tend to put a

favorite song on repeat until I’m sick

of it. Umm that new J. Cole album

though… my 3 current faves are, “Fight

for You” by H.E.R. (love the free flowing vibe in the beat and lyrics), “No Me

Conoce” by J. Balvin (after watching his

documentary I’ve become very inspired

by him), “Lemon Pepper” by Drake (he is

the Artist of the Decade!)

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thoughts on a bright future...

It is graduation season. I couldn’t

be happier for our grads and their

families. I don’t know the statistics

but so many of our young people are

graduating from high school and college that I am losing track. I love the

pictures of the graduates with their

cap and gown and a few members of

their family with huge smiles on their

faces. This many graduates bodes

very well for our future.

My grandparents were not educated, but they were smart. Even if

they had a higher education, I wonder what opportunities they would

have got in the 1940’s and 1950’s.

My guess is not much. I love that

the Tribe has become an opportunity machine for our people. You

can work for the Tribe, one of the

casinos, Ho-Chunk, Inc., Little Priest

Tribal College, or the Hospital. There

are also plenty of jobs at the two

school and the BIA also.

Most small towns in Nebraska are

slowly dying because they lack opportunity which causes their young

people to go away for college and

never move back home. Soon these

towns close their school or consolidate

with another town. These declining

communities also lose businesses

and build very few new homes. This

creates a sort of death spiral for these

towns with mostly cheap housing and

older residents.

Winnebago is the exact opposite.

We keep adding people Our town has

grown by about 600 people in the last

8 years. Our school keeps expanding.

Our business community is growing.

Most of our people are young and we

just keep on building new housing

units. None of this was an accident.

It was the plan of our leaders back in

the 1980’s.

The Tribe started the casinos. The

Tribe started Ho-Chunk, Inc. The

Tribe started Little Priest Tribal College. The Tribe took over control of

the hospital. The Tribe invested in

higher education and Educare. The

tribal members now run the village

and the school board. We took control

over our own destiny and shaped a

future where we can create opportunities.

We still have problems. We still

need housing. We still could use

more jobs. We still have long term

trauma that messes with generations

of a single family sometimes. But

we are slowly creating a virtuous

cycle of expectation and opportunity

for success. To me these graduates

are an obvious a sign that the work

put in by the Tribe and hard-working

members over the last 40 years is really starting to pay off in a big way.

With the economic growth on the

horizon with the WarHorse casino’s, I

can’t help but think the future of the

Winnebago people is very bright and

I am so glad to be a witness of it.

JESUS OUR SAVIOR

LUTHERAN OUTREACH

"Children of God"

On this past Sunday, May 23rd, we

celebrate at Jesus Our Savior Lutheran Church the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus walked this earth for forty more

days after his victorious resurrection. Before he left, he comforted his

disciples that he would not leave them

as orphans, but he would be sending

them the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Ten days later the Holy Spirit came

down on his followers with power.

The work of the Holy Spirit is to have

Jesus' Father adopt us into the Family

of God. Those who, by grace, receive

God's Spirit into their hearts are children of God.

I am taking much of the following

words from Bo Giertz's devotion book,

entitled 'To Live with Christ.' His devotion is based on Paul's letter to the

Romans, chapter eight, verses twelve

through seventeen.

Here are two of those verses: 'You

did not receive a spirit that makes you

a slave again to fear, but you received

the Spirit of sonship. And by him we

cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we

are God’s children' [Romans 8:16-17

NIV(84)].

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of childhood. This name indicates better than

anything else the reason the Spirit has

been sent into the world and what He

accomplishes. The Spirit is also called

the Helper, Comforter, and Consoler.

The comfort and help He can give

consists of teaching us that we can

be God's children together with Christ

and through Christ. Therefore, He

witnesses about Christ and not about

Himself. He paints Christ's picture

for us. He helps us understand that

Jesus died for us. He creates faith

in our hearts, allowing us to be born

from above.

This is something that might not be

noticeable right away. We might just

feel an immense helplessness instead.

But in the midst of this helplessness

grows a firm confidence in Christ, a

confidence like that of the thief on the

cross.

In the Gospel of St. Luke we learn

that Jesus had been crucified between two thieves. Luke writes: 'One

of the criminals who hung there

hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you

the Christ? Save yourself and us!”

But the other criminal rebuked him.

“Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since

you are under the same sentence? We

are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this

man has done nothing wrong.” Then

he said, “Jesus, remember me when

you come into your kingdom” [Luke

23:39–42].

The penitent thief knew he didn't

deserve it, but he couldn't help but

hope and believe that Christ would

have mercy on him. Look up in your

Bible (or on-line) for Jesus' response.

If the Spirit has completed the

work, then sooner or later He gives us

childlike wisdom. He testifies through

our spirit that we are God's children.

This fills us with a great comfort,

a boundless thankfulness, a lovely

certainty that nothing can separate

us from God's love because Christ is

with and has mercy on us. We can

say Abba! Father! with childlike confidence.

There are people who think it's obvious that we are all God's children.

They have never thought about how

much separates us from God. But

when the Spirit convinces us of our

sin, it's possible that our own conscience, which is the Law's voice in

our own heart, can pronounce such

an irrevocable judgment on us all

our egoism and impurity that we no

longer dare to believe we can be God's

children.

Only then can the Holy Spirit show

us the truth, the great truth that

Christ has died for sinners like us

and that it's possible even for us to be

God's beloved children. He alone, the

Spirit of childhood, can convince us

of this.

In loving memory...

On Common Ground

Stuart Fischer

The LPTC Extension office has been busy the past two weeks with our annual

kickoff of the gardening year and distribution of seeds and seedlings. We are also

distributing trees and shrubs to the community to emphasize the importance of

planting trees for the well-being of the environment. We had originally tied the

tree and shrub distribution to a combined Earth Day/Arbor Day celebration,

but continue to distribute until all trees are gone or spoken for.

The Extension office also has been doing bi-monthly workshops in our ongoing

Garden Series, which runs from February to November. We discuss all things

gardening and harvesting of produce, canning and dehydrating and even an

occasional cooking demonstration.

LPTC Extension has hired Angelica Parker as our Lead Gardener/Extension

Assistant. Angelica has been with us since March and is doing an outstanding

job getting our Hoop House and gardens ship shape!

We are expanding our Outreach to the youth which had been hampered by

the Pandemic. We are currently working with Educare, YCIC, WPS and look

forward to doing more with the Boys and Girls Club in a common curriculum,

but designed to fit the various age groups.

Our collaboration with various tribal organizations continues to expand and

strengthen and we look forward to building strong relationships with all of the

Winnebago Community and beyond.

JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER

Twelve Clans Unity Hospital Earns

ACR Accreditation

Public Notice and Comment Period

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 7

Proposed Wastewater (NPDES) Permit No. IA0073717

WinnaVegas Casino Wastewater Treatment Facility

Sloan, Woodbury County, Iowa

Winnebago, NE – Twelve Clans

Unity Hospital’s Radiology Department has been awarded an additional three-year term of accreditation in mammography as the result

of a recent review by the American

College of Radiology (ACR). The

Radiology Department was initially

awarded a three-year term of accreditation by ACR in 2018. Mammography is a specific type of imaging test

that uses a low-dose X-ray system to

examine breasts. A mammography

exam, called a mammogram, is used

to aid in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women.

The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of

image quality and patient safety. It

is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR Practice Parameters and

Technical Standards after a peerreview evaluation by board-certified

physicians and medical physicists

who are experts in the field. Image

quality, personnel qualifications,

adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures and quality

assurance programs are assessed.

The findings are reported to the ACR

Committee on Accreditation, which

subsequently provides the practice

with a comprehensive report that

can be used for continuous practice

improvement.

The ACR, founded in 1924, is a

professional medical society dedicated to serving patients and society

by empowering radiology professionals to advance the practice, science and professions of radiological

care. The College serves more than

37,000 diagnostic/interventional

radiologists, radiation oncologists,

nuclear medicine physicians, and

medical physicists with programs

focusing on the practice of medical

imaging and radiation oncology and

the delivery of comprehensive health

care services.

Twelve Clans Unity Hospital is

a division of the Winnebago Comprehensive Healthcare System

operated by the Winnebago Tribe of

Nebraska. The 13-bed healthcare

facility serves an estimated 10,000

Native Americans who live on the

Winnebago Reservation and in the

surrounding region. Health care

services provided by the hospital

and the Winnebago Public Health

Department include an ambulatory

care clinic, inpatient care, express

care clinic, pharmacy, radiology,

emergency care, medical laboratory,

physical therapy, social services,

dental, optometry, audiology, behavioral health and more.

This public notice is issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

Region 7 (EPA). EPA is seeking comments on a proposed National Pollutant

Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, under Section 402 of the

Clean Water Act (CWA), for the discharge of wastewater from the WinnaVegas Casino wastewater treatment facility (facility) owned and operated by the

Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.

EPA is seeking written comments regarding this proposed action until July

2, 2021. The address for written comments or to request a public hearing is

shown below.

BACKGROUND: NPDES permits to discharge wastewater to waters of the

United States are issued under Section 402 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. Section

1342, subject to certain effluent limitations and other conditions. The Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska owns and operates the facility and has applied to

EPA for an NPDES permit to discharge treated wastewater from the facility,

which consists of a three-cell wastewater lagoon system. The facility discharges treated wastewater to an unnamed tributary of the Missouri River through

an outfall located within the exterior boundaries of the Winnebago Tribe of

Nebraska Indian Reservation. EPA has the authority to issue an NPDES permit for this facility, located and discharging in Indian country. On the basis

of information provided to EPA by the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, and

application of pertinent standards and regulations, EPA proposes to issue

NPDES Permit No. IA0073717 to the facility, pursuant to Section 402 of the

Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. Section 1342.

PROPOSED NPDES PERMIT: The proposed permit would allow treated

wastewater from the facility to be discharged to an unnamed tributary of the

Missouri River. The proposed permit includes technology-based and water quality-based effluent limitations. Additional information regarding this

proposed permit is contained in the Administrative Record, which includes

the permit application, proposed permit, Statement of Basis for the proposed

permit, and other pertinent information upon which the proposed permit is

based.

ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD AVAILABILITY: The Administrative Record and

other information concerning EPA’s proposed NPDES permit are available for

review electronically and can be obtained through email by contacting the

Winnebago Tribal Council Administrative Office, 100 Bluff Street, Winnebago,

NE 68071; or by phone at 402-878-2272. The Administrative Record and

other information can also be obtained electronically by emailing Alex Owutaka, EPA Region 7, at owutaka.alex@epa.gov; or viewed on the EPA website at:

www.epa.gov/ia/winnavegas-casino-wastewater-facility-draft-npdes-permitand-supporting-documents.

For more information about available documents, please contact Alex

Owutaka, EPA Region 7, by email at owutaka.alex@epa.gov, by phone at 913551-7584, or toll-free at 1-800-223-0425.

HOW TO PROVIDE COMMENTS: Interested persons may submit written

comments regarding EPA’s proposed permit or submit a written request for

a public hearing on the proposed permit. Any request for a public hearing

must state the nature of the issues that the requester proposes to raise at

the hearing. EPA’s rules and procedures governing the issuance of NPDES

permits, public comment period, and public hearings on proposed NPDES

permits are found at 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 25 and 124

and are also available for review in the Administrative Record for the proposed permit. If a public hearing is held, EPA may conduct it virtually, due

to restrictions resulting from the C0VID-19 pandemic. All written comments

and any requests for a public hearing must be submitted by July 2, 2021, to

Glenn Curtis, Chief, Permits and Loans Branch, Water Division, EPA Region

7, 11201 Renner Boulevard, Lenexa, KS 66219.

Garden Update

Week of May 23, 2021

Kathleen Cue, Nebraska Extension Horticulture Educator in Dodge County

Colorado Spruce

The Christmas tree shape of Colorado spruce is beautiful indeed, but several

common problems make growing them a challenge.

Deep Cold

February’s hard hit of negative double digit cold resulted in the tops dying out

of spruce trees. This caused cracks to develop in trunk tissues that then leak

sap. This is apparent with the accumulation of white crust on the trunk and

branches. Once cracks develop, canker pathogens like Cytospora gain access to

conductive tissues within the tree, widening the wound. Unfortunately, sprays

and drenches do not counter the effects of Cytospora canker. Prune out the dead

central leader and re-train a lower branch to take over as the new central leader.

Branches below the new central leader can be cut back to restore the pyramid

shape. How To Prune Coniferous Evergreen Trees (uidaho.edu)

Spruce Spider Mite

The spruce spider mite is a small sucking pest of spruce and other evergreens.

With their needle-like mouthpart, the spruce spider mite removes sugars, sap,

and chlorophyll from foliage. When mite populations are high, needles present

an off-color appearance of dusty green. Leaves eventually turn brown altogether

and fall from the tree. The spruce spider mite is active in the cooler parts of the

season, with activity peaking in spring and fall. A hand lens or a microscope

is a handy tool to identify spruce spider mites, but the paper test can also be

applied. Using a sheet of white paper, tap a branch over the paper and look for

small dots moving across the page. Miticides are effectively applied when mites

are active in spring and fall. Rainfall has a nice way of keeping mite populations

down by drowning them. Ins of ev 3-6-09 (unl.edu)

Bagworm

Tear drop-shaped bags and loss of needles are clear indications of bagworm

infestations. A few caterpillars can defoliate trees in a relatively short time frame,

leaving branches bare and killing next year’s growth buds. Products containing

the active ingredient Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) can be applied in mid-June to

early July to target these caterpillars when they are small. As the caterpillars

grow, so do their appetites, causing significant defoliation and being difficult

to manage as well. Come August, caterpillars are too big to manage with insecticides and hand-picking bags from trees is really the only option. Be On

the Lookout for Bagworms | Nebraska Extension: Community Environment |

Nebraska (unl.edu)

Rhizosphaera Needle Cast

This fungal disease, caused by the pathogen Rhizosphaera kalkhoffii, interferes with intake of carbon dioxide through the needles. The needle’s breathing

structures, known as stomates, are clogged with the fungus’s spore producing

structures. Without the ability to breathe in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen,

trees are unable to photosynthesize, starting a cycle of decline that, if left untreated, can cause defoliation and death to the tree. Cool wet springs provide

the perfect conditions for development of needle cast. A hand lens or microscope

is handy for spotting infected stomates, which appear as rows of black dots

on needles. Good air circulation, keeping irrigation water from wetting foliage,

mulching beneath trees, and application of a fungicide will manage needle cast.

Dis of ev 1-20-09 (unl.edu)

Tree Overuse

Colorado spruce is suited to rocky, well-drained soils, in locations that receive

6 or more hours of direct, uninterrupted sunlight daily. Heavily irrigated clay

soils and shady sites are situational conditions ripe with opportunity for decline,

necessitating costly interventions that may or may not work.

With the tree popular for use as accents in front yards, as windbreaks, and in

allées, the Colorado spruce has become the dominant evergreen in the landscape.

As with any over-used plant, a major concern is the potential for an emerging

insect or disease problem to infest the species (think: emerald ash borer for

ash, Dutch elm disease for elm, and pine wilt for pine.) Diversity is always the

best choice, especially when utilizing trees with insect and disease resistance.

Substitutions for this much-overused tree include juniper, Concolor fir, Douglas

fir, Fraser fir, Norway spruce, Black Hills spruce, and Ponderosa pine.

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 05-25-2021, there are no recent meth arrest(s) to report.
