Indianz.com… Sweet Sensations: New coffee shop opens at Ho-Chunk Centre
SIOUX CITY | When does a coffee shop
become more than just a place to pick up
a cup of joe?
That was a question manager Jill
Smith asked herself during the planning
stages of the SweetWater Cafe, a new cafe
that recently opened on the skywalk level
of the Ho-Chunk Centre, 600 Fourth St.
“Ideally, a coffee shop should be a
place where business people can get together for meetings as well as spot where

second State Track Meet appearance.
with these diverse experiences to better
prepare them for life after school.”
Interested students should submit
a camp application signed and dated

identification card; grade transcript
signed and dated by school staff and a
list of community and school activities

To accommodate both types of customers, Smith and her staff provides an

I Was Thinking
Thoughts from Extreme Peril… by Lance Morgan
the exploitation of our resources and
treats us like second class governments.
That is my radical side—every Indian
has one.
We have been working very hard the
last several months to get a bill passed
in the Nebraska Legislature to allow our
old horse track in South Sioux City to
have historic horse racing machines. We
would have liked it to be a full gaming
operation, but we felt that this was the
best approach and had the best chance
of passing.
Last week, there was a vote, but it
got delayed on a procedural maneuver.
The Sioux City paper had a headline
that struck me as a little biased. It said
Ho-Chunk’s bill was in “Peril!” We just
needed one vote and we were in Peril!
For some reason, it just bugged me and
I went around the office and kept saying
variations of “OMG,” “Help Us, we are
in grave danger,” and in a high-pitched
voice saying “We are in Peril!” Because
I am the CEO no one stopped me, but I
think it was clear my fellow employees
thought it was a bit strange.
It struck me as funny that we would
be in jeopardy over what the Nebraska
Legislature decides. We have for so long
been essentially on our own and typically
ask for very little from the state of Nebraska. Don’t get me wrong, other than
tobacco taxes, we get along fairly well
with Nebraska and are very pro-Huskers.
But we have relatively low expectations
of the State coming to our rescue.
But maybe I am the one who is off a
little. I have stated repeatedly internally
and publicly that the legal, economic and
political system is biased against tribal
interests. That their system perpetuates
I have also said in the past that my
long-term goal is to be big enough to
actually be able to use that system to
help us achieve some of our long term
economic and political goals. Well what
do you know? On April 7th, the Nebraska
legislature passed a bill putting our machines on the ballot next November. We
certainly didn’t pass the bill without a lot
of help from other interests, but maybe
just maybe we are turning the corner
in our ability to impact the political and
economic environment.
Typically a tribe complains about some
injustice and if it doesn’t cost the state
much then they will help. But rarely can
a tribe actually get laws changed that actually help us achieve real growth. This
is a bit of a first in my experience here
and frankly our success has caught me
off guard and has opened my eyes to the
potential of what is possible in the future.
Before we start celebrating, there will
be a ballot fight. A lot of out of state
gaming interests will try and fund the
anti-gaming expansion campaign. There
would also have to be a local election to
approve it at the county level. We also
have to design and build our new facility.
So there is a lot to do, but I suppose that
is why we get paid at HCI.
In the meantime, I will try and figure
out if there is anything we can ask for
from our new partners the Nebraska
Legislature. We are so new at being part
of the system, we don’t even know how
to play yet. Things were so much easier
when all we had to do was organize a
good protest.

In My Opinion
MY LITTLE REFLECTION
WOW! Days and weeks are flying by
us so fast. Not so long ago we entered
into Ash Wednesday, the start of the
40 days Lenten journey. Now we are
already standing at the threshold of
Holy Week.
Holy Week is most definitely a very
sacred time of the year, for it is then that
we will commemorate and remember the
last week of Jesus’ life on this earth.
Palm Sunday is the beginning of Holy
Week. During Holy Week, we enter into
Christ’s life, death, and resurrection.
Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday of the
Lord’s Passion, the week before Easter.
On Palm Sunday we are invited to take
up our own palms and sing a resounding hymn in honor of Christ our King.
Later we hear the story of the Passion
of Christ Jesus. The same people who
welcomed Jesus condemned him less
than a week later. We reflect on the
fickleness of human nature and our
own weakness.
The Easter Triduum is composed of
three days: Holy Thursday, Good Friday,
and the Easter Vigil on Saturday, the
heart and core of the whole church year.
The Easter Triduum begins with the vigil
of Holy Thursday. It is the end of the
forty days of Lent and the beginning of
the three day celebration of the death
and resurrection of Jesus Christ. At
this celebration we will have adoration,
washing of the feet and also celebrate
the institution of the Holy Eucharist.
Jesus said in John 13:14, “If I, therefore,
your Lord and Teacher, have washed
your feet, you also ought to wash one
another’s feet.” And you are to become
servants to all your brothers and sisters.
Good Friday will be on April 18th
this year. It is the most somber day of
the year. We pray for the needs of the
church and world. There is no Mass on
this day, one day of the whole year where
no Mass is celebrated in the Catholic
ancient tradition. This day is dreary
and uncomfortable for some people and
for them it is something to quickly pass
over on the way to Easter. The Good
Friday service ends in silence. We keep
silence throughout this day --- awaiting
Jesus’ resurrection in reverence, reflection and prayer, recalling the three days
that Christ spent in the tomb.
After sunset, the Church explodes in
joy and celebration of Jesus’ resurrection. The entire celebration of the Easter
Vigil must take place at night, so that it
begins after nightfall and ends before
daybreak on Sunday. The Church meditates on all the wonderful things God has
done for his people from the beginning.
The Paschal candle’s lighting, which
symbolizes the resurrection of Christ
from the dead, is lit from the new Easter
fire. Jesus is the Light of the world, who
dispels the darkness of our hearts and
minds. “For God so loved the world that
he gave his only Son, so that everyone
who believers in him might not perish
but might have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
At St. Augustine’s we will have Holy
Thursday Mass at 7:00 p.m., Good Friday
service at 7:00 p.m., Easter Vigil Mass
at 8:30 p.m. and Easter Sunday Mass
at 10:00 a.m.
A Blessed Holy Week and Happy Easter to you and all your loved ones. May
you all rise with the Lord and partake in
the joy of the Lord.

JESUS OUR SAVIOR
LUTHERAN OUTREACH
“Wanted: Dead and Alive”
Years ago, Wild West reward signs
were posted with the words: “Wanted
Dead or Alive.” One would surely not
want to have his or her name on one of
these posters. Your life would have been
in great danger. While everyone has an
innate desire to be wanted, one does not
want to be wanted or loved to prison or
to death!
Below the words: “Wanted: Dead or
Alive” was a picture or description of the
criminal. This picture would not necessarily be the best selfie; rather it would
be more like the photo on one’s driver’s
license.
The Wanted poster would also include
the amount of the reward. The reward for
Osama Bin Laden was $25,000,000.00.
That is quite a sum of money. However,
the reward for your life is even higher.
When it comes to your relationship to
God, He wants you too! He does not want
you dead or alive; no He wants you dead
and alive! He wants you in spite of your
being dead. Yes, you are dead right now.
This does not stop Him from loving you
or paying the price to free you.
Listen to Paul’s words regarding this:
“[I]f Christ is in you, although the body
is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life
because of righteousness. If the Spirit
of him who raised Jesus from the dead
dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus
from the dead will also give life to your
mortal bodies through his Spirit who
dwells in you.” [Romans 8:10-11 ESV]
You are dead due to sin. There is not
one man, woman or child that is without
sin. One is a sinner from the get go, even
prior to one’s birth. David rightly wrote
“Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.”
[Psalm 51:5 ESV] In this way you are
Pastor Ricky Jacob
dead and in the process of dying.
However, while you were yet a sinner
Christ Jesus died for you! The price
that He paid for you was His priceless
suffering and death. The reward that He
offers you freely, guaranteed - all bets
off, is life everlasting.
Just as Jesus rose from the dead,
each and every man, woman or child
who has God’s Spirit, the Spirit who
imparts saving faith, will also give life
to your mortal body!
So on the one hand each and every
person is dead due to sin. For the believer in Christ, he or she is also alive
and a saint and holy in the sight of God.
The Christian is a saint and a sinner at
the very same time. One is only released
from this dichotomy and dilemma when
the believer dies or is taken to heaven.
The season of spring or Lent in the
church year is a time to reflect on the
height and depth of God’s love for you.
He loved you to death, His death; however He also rose to new life and offers
you everlasting life.
On next Friday - Good Friday, we take
time to listen to the words that Jesus
spoke on the cross. His cross words on
this day are His final words prior to His
taking His final breath: “Father, into
Your Hands I commit My Spirit.” I invite
you to join us as we reflect on these
CrossWords and their meaning for us in
our daily lives. Please join us at 7 p.m.
for Jesus’ CrossWords.
Easter Sunday will be celebrated by
the members of Jesus Our Savior Lutheran Church at the Ho-Chunk Community Center – Sunday April 20that
11 a.m. Sunday school and Bible study
will be held there starting at 10. A potblessed meal will follow.

dent and CEO Lance Morgan.
“The SweetWater Cafe was an ideal
choice for the Ho-Chunk Centre,” he said.
“We wanted to provide the convenience of
a great coffee house to our building tenants as well as the business community
in the downtown area. The cafe is just
the beginning of great things happening
in the Ho-Chunk Centre.”
In addition to made-to-order foods and
drinks, Smith said she’d also like her cafe
to feature convenience store items such
as snacks and toiletries.
But mostly Smith is jazzed by the
cafe’s selection of caffeinated drinks,
including such interesting coffees as
the Caramel Ho-Chunk and SweetWater
Latte.
“All of our baristas are trained in
espresso beverage production in addition to being certified roasters,” she
explained.
The SweetWater Cafe also offers
breakfast croissants in the morning and
a host of light sandwiches and paninis
later in the day.
“We didn’t want to go head-to-head
with sandwich shops offering deli food,”
Patrick Foley, of Blue Earth Marketing,
said. “That’s why we made a deliberate
decision to do lighter fare.”
Since opening, he said, the Orchard
Chicken Salad sandwich and the Caprese
Grilled Cheese panini (grilled cheese
served with tomato pesto) have proven
to be popular lunches.
Even though SweetWater Cafe has
only been in business for a few weeks,
customer Priscilla Forsyth already considers herself to be a regular.
“I try to come in at least two or three
times a week,” Forsyth, an attorney in
the nearby Frances Building, explained.
“Since the coffee shop is connected to the
skywalk system, it’s just so convenient
for me.”
Forsyth ordered a Bistro Ham and
Cheese sandwich and a cup of chicken
noodle soup.
If she were to splurge, Forsyth could
also take such freshly baked treats as
cupcakes, muffins and cheesecake back
to her office.
During SweetWater Cafe’s first month
of operations, Foley acknowledged that
the menu will likely evolve.
“We’re trying to have a little something
for everybody,” he said. “We’ll have taverns and Memphis BBQ as well as more
figure-flattering fare like Cobb or Thai
salads.”
Which is good news for Smith, who is
happy to please her customers.
“In addition to serving great food, I
want the coffee shop to become a destination place for downtown,” she said.
“I want people to say, ‘Let’s meet at the
SweetWater Cafe.’”

A Winnebago Daughter…
CEDAR CITY, Utah, February 18
– Southern Utah University’s department of athletics recently inducted five
individuals into its Athletic Hall of Fame.
Included in the group was Lacee
LePrey (softball, 2001-04), Lacee was
a three-time all-Mid Continent Conference selection and a two time Mid-Con
player of the year after excelling both
as a pitcher and as a hitter. She led the
Thunderbirds to regular-season conference championships in 2003 and 2004
and earned all-Mid-Con tournament
team honors both years. She holds the
SUU career strikeouts record and has two
of the school’s top-three single-season
strikeout totals, as well as the career
record for RBI, doubles, total bases and
runs scored.
Lacee knows a little something about
striking out. But for the Canyons District
Youth-In-Custody teaching assistant, it’s
not a bad thing — it’s part of what makes
her a champion.
LePrey, who works with at-risk students at Canyons’ Genesis Youth Center,
was recently inducted into Southern
Utah University’s Athletic Hall of Fame
for her accomplishments while playing
softball for the university from 20012004.
LePrey excelled both as a pitcher
and hitter, according to the university,
and she led the Thunderbirds to season
conference championships in 2003 and
2004. Lacee holds the SUU career strikeouts record, the career record for RBI,
doubles, total bases and runs scored,
according to the university.
The skills LePrey developed as an
athlete have carried over into her work,
says Todd Bird, District Coordinator of
Student Support Services.
“She takes the same energy and the
same resolve to help the students as she
does with her athletics,” Bird says. “She’s
just a really great person to have working
with us. She’s great with the students.”
LePrey works one-on-one with students in the District’s court-ordered
residential youth camp, helping them
with mathematics and keeping track of
the classes they need to take. She also
helps coach softball at Jordan High, her
alma mater, where she was voted Most
Valuable Player in 5A softball in 1998.
After graduating from college, LePrey
played professional softball in Italy. Her
accomplishments and attitude are a good
example to the students she works with,
Bird says — which makes her all the
more deserving of recognition.
“It’s really an honor, and I think she’s
really deserving of it,” Bird says. “She’s
just got that personality and demeanor
about her that it doesn’t surprise me
at all.”

One of this year’s headliners at Great
Southern Bank’s Saturday in the Park
Festival will be sponsored by one of
Siouxland’s biggest supporters of live
music – WinnaVegas Casino Resort.
WinnaVegas will present co headliner
Bonnie Raitt at the free summer festival set for July 5th in Grandview
Park. “WinnaVegas has had great support from the Siouxland Community;
enabling us to expand into a Casino
Resort. So when we were approached
by Saturday in the Park to help with a
sponsorship, it just made good sense,”
says Frank Loera, Interim General Manager at WinnaVegas Casino Resort. “We
know that families throughout the area
look to Saturday in the Park as a major
summer celebration and we want to
help ensure its success and longevity.”
Dave Bernstein – co founder of Saturday in the Park – said that the festival
was excited to welcome WinnaVegas
back as a sponsor. “It’s great to have
WinnaVegas return as a sponsor and to
help make Bonnie Raitt’s performance
at this years festival a reality. WinnaVegas, along with all of our sponsors, are
the key to keeping this festival free. We
couldn’t do this without our generous
sponsors.”

Elder Abuse Awareness Day
The Winnebago Tribal Health Department Elder Abuse Prevention
Program is proud to announce that
June 15th is proclaimed as ELDER
ABUSE AWARENESS DAY for Winnebago Nebraska by the Winnebago
Tribal Council.
Effort is being made to get this
awareness out to the community of
Winnebago that elder abuse does exist
and we, who are community member’s
work together to protect our elders and
stop elder abuse. The Elder Abuse
Multi-disciplinary Team is working
prepared the traditional way. Chickens
will be plucked and cooked outside, fry
bread will be fried outside, squash, berries and wild rice served for the meal.
Food separated for our elders who had
passed on and who are no longer with
us, to honor them. The community is
asked to bring their own dishes, if possible. The idea is to do this the traditional
way, however, plates will be available at
the meal.
If anyone is interested in volunteering
call 402.878.2231 ext. 1315 and talk
with Thelma
Thank You to the Winnebago Tribal
Council for granting the proclamation

Oil Change-Routine oil changes
are one of the simplest and least
expensive maintenance measures you could perform on your
investment-your vehicle, and it
is one of the most important for
prolonging the life of your vehicle.
Regular oil changes can help
improve gas mileage and help
keep the interior of your engine cleaner, lubricate your
engine and catch & remove
combustion elements that are
destructive to your engine.
Oil changes are recommended every 3,000 miles or 90
days, which ever comes first.

WINNEBAGO TRIBAL CODE
PROCURING ALCOHOL FOR A MINOR &
MANDATORY MINIMUM SENTENCING
At a duly convened Tribal Council Meeting held on February 19, 2014, a motion
was passed to adopt Resolution #14-47 to approve revisions to the Winnebago Tribal
Code Section 1B-503 General Sentencing Provisions, Section 1B-706 Maximum
Fines & Sentences and Section 3-715 Contributing to the Delinquency of a Child.
Section 3-715 of the revised code states, in part, that “any person who gives,
sells or otherwise provides alcoholic liquor to a person under the age of twentyone commits the offense of procuring alcohol for a minor.” The code further states
that “procuring alcohol for a minor is a Class II offense and shall be subject to a
mandatory minimum penalty of thirty (30) days imprisonment and a five hundred
dollar ($500) fine.”
This will be effective March 21, 2014.
A complete copy of the Winnebago Tribal Code including these sections can be
