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
Redhorn.
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
of John F. Kennedy, “If not us, who? If not
now, when?”
As always, I invite you to let me know your
thoughts, ideas, concerns, or suggestions by
contacting me at jalbrecht@leg.ne.gov or by
calling my office at 402.471.2716.

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.
