Lorelei DeCora and Brian Chamberlain newly appointed Tribal Council members

Shown above are the voting results from

the July 15th special elections. Thank

you to the candidates and for everyone

that came out and voted. Also, congrats

to Lorelei DeCora and Brian Chamberlain!

Winnebago Indian News (WIN) would

like to send a special thanks to the Winnebago Election Committee, Winnebago

Administration, and Winnebago Communications Officer Garan Coons for all of

their hard work in preparing the special

elections swear-in ceremony on July

16th.

Here’s just some of the stunning beadwork that you will find at the Ho-Chunk

Village Farmers Market that takes place

every Wednesday from 1 to 6 PM in Winnebago, located at 509 Buffalo Trail. You

will also find fresh, locally grown fruits

and vegetables, prepared foods, and

much more!

On Thursday, July 16th there was a special Tribal Council meeting and swearing-in ceremony for the newly appointed Tribal Council

members Brian Chamberlain and Lorelei DeCora.

Winonah Leader Charge

WINNEBAGO, NE—On Thursday,

July 16th at 1:00 p.m. Lorelei Hope

DeCora and Brian Chamberlain took

their oath of office one day after special

elections. The ceremony took place at

the Blackhawk Center Gymnasium in

Winnebago.

Due to safety concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic the swearing in ceremony was closed to the public. The Winnebago Communications Department

and Winnebago Indian News were able

to film the Swearing in Ceremony for all

tribal members to view. The Swearing

in Ceremony can be viewed on the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska’s YouTube

Channel.

DeCora received 226 votes, which

was 26.46 percent of the vote, to Chamberlain's 221 votes, or 25.88 percent.

“The people have spoken” said the newly

elected council member Chamberlain.

During the swearing in ceremony,

Chamberlain thanked everyone who

voted and to all those who supported

his candidacy. This is Chamberlain’s

4th time taking his oath for office and

a COVID-19 survivor. Chamberlain

stated, “each time that I do it I take this

responsibility very seriously.” Chamberlain also extended his gratitude and

appreciation for all the candidates.

Chamberlain also stated, “politics is in

the hand of our people and the voice

of the people needs to be heard at all

times.” Concluding, “You will receive my

best efforts, you will receive my fullest

level of what I believe to be correct and

what I believe we ought to be doing and

I pledge to you all that through the end

of this term.”

DeCora the newly elected council

member thanked all the people who

were apart of the elections process:

the election committee, the college

students, Garan Coons the Communication’s officer, and the two previous

council members. Decora stated, “I will

do my best between now and until the

general election.” Decora expressed her

gratitude and appreciation to the Winnebago people.

Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska awarded $900,000 to support the

construction for the new Halfway House

Bluff Street is starting to look a lot better,

and the construction workers are making

tons of progress. Here is an updated look

at the construction zone located in front of

Winnebago Public School.

Thank you to Liz Bayer and Reva DeCora

for organizing the MMIW Healing Walk, in

honor of Kozee Decorah and other MMIW

victims. The healing walk took place at

the river road in Winnebago, on Saturday, July 18th. Photo courtesy of Melori

CHEE WOY NA ZEE (meaning House of Hope) is the Halfway House in Winnebago, NE. Pictured above is the old building in May 2015. On

May 4, 2020, the old Halfway House was demolished to make way for a new building.

Winonah Leader Charge

A special thanks to the Whirling Thunder

Wellness Program for their continued efforts with the Kidz Café lunch drive-thru.

On July 21st, families also received a

homeschool teaching tools bag.

Another construction site in Winnebago

has been coming along great! On the

corner of Beck St and Peach Ave, the new

senior 12 plex is making a lot of progress.

WINNEBAGO, NE--The Winnebago

Tribe of Nebraska (WTN) was awarded

$900,000 from U.S. Housing and

Urban Development (HUD) Indian

Community Development Block Grant

(ICDBG) program to support the construction for the new Halfway House.

Joy Johnson the Director of Planning and Development stated, “as a

key component of our tribal community’s comprehensive response to the

Covid-19 pandemic the Winnebago

Tribe will construct a new residential

facility to serve as a Halfway House

and Counseling Center for ten adults

(five men, five women) who are graduating from the Drug Dependency Unit

(DDU). The facility is constructed with

ten private rooms which will facilitate

self-isolation and quarantine requirements for residents who may become

V i s i t

u s

a t

infected with Covid-19, or who might

otherwise need to reside with family

members in a high-risk location where

this isolation would not be feasible.”

Construction of the Halfway House

Project began May 2020, during this

phase of construction the 110-yearold wood framed house was demolished and disposed. In addition, an

environmental company tested and

removed asbestos. Now that the ICDBG is supporting the construction of

Halfway House, the Winnebago Tribe

of Nebraska has to meet the specific

environmental requirements before the

tribe can contract and proceed with the

project. The goal is to have the rough

construction and enclose the building

by December 2020.

The previous Halfway House will

be replaced with a modular/prefabricated residential facility which

will also include a counseling center.

The building will support providing

residential services, peer support and

group meetings. “The lower foundational area will provide office space

for up to seven counseling staff, and

meeting space for individual, small,

and large group counseling sessions.

Supervised physical activities will be

made available to both residents of

the halfway house and counseling clients on the lower foundational area.”

Upon the completion of the facility job

placement and accessing GED and/

or career education will be provided.

The new Halfway House is anticipated to be completed in 12 months

and is being made possible with the

funding support from HUD, the U.S.

Department of Justice, Siletz Tribe,

Tyson Foods, the Winnebago Community Development Corporation, and

the Winnebago Tribe.

Twelve Clans Unity Hospital Implements

Resuscitation Quality Improvement Program

to Increase Patient Survival from In-Hospital

Cardiac Arrest

Winnebago, NE - More than 200,000 in-hospital cardiac arrests occur annually in the U.S. with survival rates from adult in-hospital cardiac arrest at less

than 26 percent. Patients who suffer a cardiac arrest must receive the highest

quality CPR possible, which is known to be the cornerstone for survival. For

decades, the CPR training standard for healthcare providers has been Basic Life

Support with a requirement for participants to renew their course completion

card every two years. However, studies show CPR skills can decay within three

to six months following this training.

Twelve Clans Unity Hospital (TCUH) recognizes the importance of high-quality

CPR competency, performance and delivery in saving more lives. That’s why

the Resuscitation Quality Improvement® (RQI®) program, co-developed by the

American Heart Association®

(AHA) and Laerdal® Medical, is being implemented to help Twelve Clans Unity

Hospital achieve sustained mastery of high-quality CPR skills and competency,

resulting in improved patient outcomes. Not only is the hospital one of the first

facilities in the nation to implement RQI 2020, we are the first hospital in the

state of Nebraska as well.

RQI 2020 provides a high-reliability platform for self-directed, simulationbased mastery learning and performance, which is implemented through “lowdose, high-frequency” hands-on CPR quality improvement sessions, in 10 minutes

every 90 days, that

measure and verify competency each time. This program also provides training and certification for Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric

Advanced Life Support (PALS) , which allows the hospital to provide a higher level

of care to patients. The RQI program also provides analytics that can measure

individual, department, facility or system compliance. In addition, it allows for

simplified enrollment and offers additional modules for learners when necessary.

Through more frequent exposure to CPR simulation scenarios, our facility and

staff are committed to improving patient outcomes and decreasing preventable

deaths from cardiac arrests.

Haven House Adds New Housing Program

for Survivors

Many people experience abuse in

their life, such as emotional, psychological, verbal, physical and sexual abuse.

No one deserves to be abused. Haven

House is here to help and provide support. They are dedicated to the elimination of violence against women, men,

and children through empowerment,

education, social action, and support

services. Haven House has been providing free and confidential services

for survivors of domestic and sexual

violence since 1978. They serve victims

of domestic violence and sexual assault within a five county area; Cedar,

Dakota, Dixon, Wayne, and Thurston

counties which includes the Omaha

and Winnebago Indian Reservations.

Being cooped up at home is tough.

But for victims of domestic abuse

trapped at home with an abuser, home

can also be a terrifying, dangerous

place of violence. Haven House has

been working hard to expand their

services to provide victims safe way

out. For years they have been able to

provide emergency shelter for individuals fleeing for their safety; Haven House

is now able to take it one step further.

Haven House was awarded fund-

ing for a transitional housing program

by the Nebraska Crime Commission’s

Victim of Crimes Act. This has been a

great accomplishment for the agency.

Beginning July 1st, Haven House has

the opportunity to further assist victims

of domestic and sexual violence by providing transitional housing for up to 24

months. During these 2 years, Haven

House can help victims pay deposits,

utilities, and monthly rent. While participating in this program advocates

will work continuously with individuals

to provide intense case management

throughout the length of their participation. The intense case management

will allow advocates to assist individuals with employment search, financial

budgeting, and debt reduction. The goal

of the program is to teach individuals

the tools need to be self-sufficient and

live violence free.

If you or someone you know is dealing with domestic or sexual violence,

Haven House is available 24/7. An advocate can be reached by calling the Haven House hotline at 1-800-440-4633.

Let's go camping!

Each year we select a Bible verse

and a hymn for Jesus Our Savior Lutheran Preschool. This year I selected

a two-part Bible verse. The first part

goes like this:

'Then [Jesus] opened their minds so

they could understand the Scriptures'

(Luke 24:45).

Jesus was sending his disciples,

now his apostles - or 'sent ones' - to

go in all four directions and share the

Good News found in Sacred Scriptures.

You need to have your mind open in order to understand God's Sacred Word.

It is our prayer that God's Spirit would

open the minds of our preschoolers

this school year. And what do the

Scriptures teach? Jesus went on and

this is part two of our Bible verse:

Then [Jesus] opened their minds so

they could understand the Scriptures.

He told them, “This is what is written:

The Christ will suffer and rise from the

dead on the third day, and repentance

and forgiveness of sins will be preached

in his name to all nations, beginning at

Jerusalem." (Luke 24:46-47).

God's Sacred Word teaches how our

preschoolers and every one else as well,

can hear the Good News of obtaining

the forgiveness of sins. By the grace of

God, one is moved to repent and then

to place one's faith in Jesus Christ's

saving work and awesome resurrection.

The hymn that we selected for this

school year - 2020-2021, was written

by Frances R. Havergal, (1836-79); and

is entitled 'I am trusting Thee, Lord

Jesus.' I will let the words speak for

themselves:

I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus

Trusting only Thee;

Trusting Thee for full salvation,

Great and free.

I am trusting Thee for pardon; At

Thy feet I bow,

For Thy grace and tender mere

Trusting now.

Pastor Ricky Jacob

I am trusting Thee for cleansing In

the crimson flood;

Trusting Thee to make me holy By

Thy blood.

I am trusting Thee to guide me;

Thou alone shalt lead,

Ev'ry day and hour supplying All

my need.

I am trusting Thee for power;

Thine can never fail.

Words which Thou Thyself shalt

give me

Must prevail.

I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus;

Never let me fail.

I am trusting Thee forever And for

all.

Jesus Our Savior Lutheran Preschool is now accepting applications

for the 2020-2021 school year. Our

preschool operates four days a week

(most likely Monday through Thursday

this year).

A child is eligible once they turn

three and no longer in diapers/pampers. Our morning class meets from

9 to 11:30; and our afternoon class

meets from 1 to 3:30. There is a onetime registration fee (non-refundable

of $25) for first time applicants. Class

size is limited to eight.

Our curriculum is designed to meet

the individual needs and interest of

each child. It includes: Bible stories

and memorization of God's Word and

the Lord's Prayer in Ho-Chunk; reading

and number readiness (Zoo-Phonics

Program) as well as preschool level HoChunk language learning; science concepts and problem solving; large and

fine motor skills; social development

and interaction; music and drama; as

well as creative art and expression.

Jesus Our Savior Lutheran Preschool mission statement sums it up

nicely. It reads: Each child is a precious

gift from the Creator, saved by the love

of Jesus. Thus it is our duty to help

them grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually through God's

Word, empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Senator Joni Albrecht WEEKLY UPDATE

July 13, 2020

As we move closer to reconvening at

the Legislature, Nebraska moves towards

economic recovery. Our state continues

to lead the country, even in the midst of

COVID-19. In June, Nebraska posted

the lowest unemployment rate in the

Nation, showing once again the amazing

work ethic of Nebraska residents and

their commitment to a strong recovery

of our State.

Speaking of unemployment, the extra

$600 per week for those collecting unemployment benefits is set to expire July

31. Also, beginning the benefit week of

July 12, 2020, performing and reporting

work search activities are once again required for those claiming benefits unless

the claimant has an employer-confirmed

recall date within 112 days of their layoff,

is in approved training, a union member

with a hiring hall, or in a short-time compensation program.

Working from home the last few

months has involved more than a few

frustrating moments without adequate

Internet service. This last week, I directly

experienced the need for improved broadband and internet access for those of us in

District 17. The gap in adequate rural access to broadband has become even more

apparent with increased use of Internet

by so many working from and staying at

home during the pandemic. Never having

left my mind, rural broadband access is

once again at the forefront. I serve on the

Transportation and Telecommunications

Committee. In February, the Committee

designated LB992 as one of our two priority bills. LB992 proposes the Broadband

Internet Service Infrastructure Act and

makes changes recommended by the

Rural Broadband Task Force to improve

access. The changes in part provide a

process enabling broadband to expand

service by running over existing electric

easements to the rural communities

throughout Nebraska. I am looking forward to discussing LB992 during these

next 17 days of the Session.

Kudos to Walmart South Sioux City

that has actively participated in reaching

the goal of Walmart’s Veterans Welcome

Home Commitment to hire 250,000 veteran associates since its Memorial Day

2013 launch. Nebraska helped reach

the goal with 2,200 veteran hires and

421 veteran associate promotions in the

state. I am proud that District 17 played

a part in this honorable effort.

Looking ahead to reconvening July

20, property tax relief remains a focal

point for me and many of my colleagues.

There has been hard work since January to try to bring tax relief to individual,

commercial, and agricultural landowners.

Many senators have worked tirelessly to

make LB1106 a better bill. Reports have

indicated that there is still a struggle to

get the 33 votes needed to pass LB1106.

My thanks to Senator Groene for outlining

the following changes being proposed in

the most recent amendment to LB1106:

Agriculture, horticultural & special

valuations within the TEEOSA formula

adjusted to 52%; residential, commercial/

industrial & centrally assessed property

adjusted to 83%

Taxable property valuations for school

districts: 55% for agriculture, horticultural & special valuations; 87% for residential, commercial/industrial & centrally

assessed property.

Acceptable ranges for property valuations by Counties adjusted to 49-55%

for agricultural, horticultural, & special

valuations; 79-87% for residential, commercial/industrial & centrally assessed

property.

Foundation Aid, currently set at 2.23%

of local income taxes to each school district from the State, under LB1106 in its

currently proposed amendment would

replace the Income Tax Rebate with 15%

of net income, corporate, sales & use tax

collections divided by statewide K-12 fall

membership. Foundation Aid cannot be

less than 15% of a school district’s basic

funding.

Base limitation on budget growth.

Adjust from 2.5% Basic Allowable Growth

Rate of expenditures, which has averaged

1.48% to 2.0% maximum allowable growth

in expenditures.

Budget authority, currently allowed

to accrue unused budget authority year

over year may access a maximum of 2.5%

of additional budget authority annually.

This would continue after 2020-21, however, would include a one-time reset of all

school districts’ unused budget authority

back to current year expenditures. To

eliminate budget authority hoarding,

the 2.5% cap would be eliminated and

districts that use the year over year

budget method would be allowed to set

base-year maximum expenditures at 110

% of the most recent 2-year budget.

Maximum levy of $1.05 per $100 valuation adjusted.

In summary, the State pays a larger

percentage of educational costs for Nebraska’s children and the school districts

restrain spending growth. At the center

of the proposal is a plan to reduce local

reliance on property tax revenues.

Naturally, the changes noted above,

along with a few others may change,. As

the amendment is currently proposed,

District 17 taxpayers and schools will

benefit from its passage.

What is certain is that enough is

enough. We need to do what is best for

the children, the taxpayers, and the State.

As we look toward reconvening on July

20, I am challenging my colleagues in the

Legislature to join hands across the aisle

and to take care of this issue that the

people of Nebraska have already waited

40 years for us to fix. Enough is enough.

The time is now. In the infamous words

Helicopter to Make Low-Level Flights

Over Eastern Nebraska to Learn More

About Groundwater Aquifers

1,400 trees planted for regenerative poultry

project

Ho-Chunk Farms is changing the

way poultry is produced in Winnebago.

They have joined a number of other

farmers in adopting and developing a

regenerative agriculture system.

The first visible step involved planting 1,400 hazelnut trees. Next, a chicken coop needs to be built and fencing

installed before 1,500 egg-laying hens

arrive.

This food sovereignty initiative has

been in the works for over two years

and builds on what Ho-Chunk Farms

is doing with organic farming.

“We can feed our own crops to the

chickens and run an entirely organic

operation,” said Aaron LaPointe, manager of Ho-Chunk Farms. “It will be

fully integrated to where we’re producing organic, free-range chicken eggs

that we can take to the farmers market,

schools, the hospital, grocery stores.

We can get more nutritious, locally

grown foods into our markets here in

Winnebago.”

The 3-acre site allows for rotating

crops and grazing to naturally rebuild

the soil. The hazelnut trees will provide

shade for the chickens, plus a cash

crop to harvest. The chickens will be

able to move freely, continually eating

bugs, working the soil, and fertilizing it.

Regenerative agriculture is an ap-

OMAHA, NE: Eastern Nebraska

residents should not be alarmed if they

see a low-flying helicopter over areas

of the Papio-Missouri River Natural

Resources District in August.

Beginning August 1st and lasting

approximately three weeks, instruments mounted below a helicopter will

collect and record geologic measurements to learn more about groundwater aquifers in Dakota, Thurston,

Burt, Washington, Douglas, Dodge and

Sarpy Counties. The Papio NRD, as

part of the Eastern Nebraska Water Resources Assessment, have planned the

flights and are completing them with

financial assistance from the Nebraska

Water Sustainability Fund, through the

Nebraska Natural Resources Commission. A flight schedule for each area is

forthcoming.

“The flights will improve our understanding of available groundwater

and its possible connections with

surface water in an area of the state

made more complex by the presence of

proach designed to produce wholesome food, reduce chemical- and

antibiotic-intensive farming, reverse

environmental damage, and build rural

prosperity. It was created by Reginaldo

Haslett-Marroquin, founder of the Regenerative Agriculture Alliance, based

in Northfield, Minnesota.

“One freedom that should not be

compromised is the freedom to collectively own and control our food and

agriculture system,” Haslett-Marroquin

said.

This aligns with ongoing food sovereignty initiatives in Winnebago.

Two years ago, the Winnebago Tribal

Council approved plans for an organic

tribal garden and poultry operation to

be developed on a 40-acre parcel of

reservation farmland. The Food Sovereignty Task Force is now executing that

plan. The garden was planted last year.

Grant funding made it so Ho-Chunk

Farms could move on to the poultry

project.

Ho-Chunk Farms employees received help planting the trees from the

Ho-Chunk, Inc. groundskeeping crew,

tribal farmers, the Nebraska Natural

Resource and Conservation Service,

and the Nebraska Department of Roads.

An extra 500 hazelnut trees were

planted in the tribal orchard.

glacial deposits,” said Paul Woodward,

Groundwater Management Engineer

for the Papio NRD.

Aqua Geo Frameworks (AGF), of

Mitchell, Nebraska will oversee the

flights, process data and produce a

final report. The equipment can collect

data at a speed of more than 50 miles

per hour and explore to a depth of more

than 700 feet below the ground surface. Scientific equipment, that looks

like a hexagon, is towed about 100 feet

below the helicopter in a ‘spider web’

array and is designed to map geologic

structures beneath the surface of the

earth. The helicopter will be manned

by experienced pilots specially trained

for low-level flying with this equipment.

The flights are a continuation of

previous data collected during 2016

and 2018 and will provide a geologic

understanding of all remaining areas

in the Papio NRD. Similar flights have

been made across Nebraska since 2007

as NRDs seek to better understand and

manage groundwater resources.
