The UW-Extension staff, along with Northrup, pioneered and developed the program from scratch and has been a model for other groups across the country wanting to start a similar program. “We looked for an existing program and soon found out none existed,” Lobenstein said. “We developed the curriculum and, over the years, we’ve found out what works and what doesn’t.” “I think it’s getting better,” said se- nior Cecelia Lonetree. “They actually listened to our presentation.” The target audience is fourth through eighth-graders, and each grade has its own curriculum and touching on subjects such as coping with bullying, awareness, cyberbully- ing and being an ally. A tool they can use has been labeled as “Stop It,” in which eighth graders are taught how to stop bullying by themselves or as a witness. As part of their presentations, differ- ent props are used to get the message across. For instance, in their Kool Aid activity, the presenters offer a glass of water as representing “rumors” and the Kool Aid powder as “truth.” The two are mixed together. It shows that, once the water and powder are mixed, they can never be separated. “There are good discussions re- sulting from the demonstrations,” Northrup said. Lonetree said that one of her fa- vorite demonstrations is to show how stories become changed as they pass from person to person. She offers a game called “Pictionary Telephone.” A slip of paper is passed around and the first person writes a sentence or state- ment. The second person folds under that statement and draws a picture of that sentence. The next person looks at the drawing, folds it under, and writes a sentence of the drawing. The game continues until everyone has had a turn. At the end, the last sentence is compared to the first sentence. Usu- ally, the two sentences are completely different. “It shows how a rumor can change PAGE 6 LEGALS Hu\u\c wiihiraagni\ra 27, 2015

Both programs utilize feder- ally funded grants designed to assist Native American students, from Preschool to College, in achieving success in their education. The night’s activities in- cluded a traditional render- ing of the Ho Chunk Earth Creation Story by Woodrow White, storyteller, Tradi- tional Gardener and Program Manager for Cultural and Community Education for the Ho-Chunk Nation. After the story, students of all ages gathered to recreate the story on a mural. While they were hard at work, everyone was treated to the musical talents of a local native musician. Kelly Jackson is a member of the Lac Du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians and winner of a Na- tive American Music Award (NAMA) for Best Folk/Amer- icana Recording for her debut Album “Spirit of a Woman.” In addition, the University of Wisconsin - Madison Wunk Sheek Drum provided a wel- coming, thank you and trav- eling songs for the event. Brooke Lewis, a Ho Chunk 10th grader from Sun Prairie High School captured the sentiment of many of the attendees. “It was great be- cause it was so nice to see that many other Native American students.” Others commented that it was a wonderful com- munity building event with a blend of traditional and mod- ern native entertainment.

My dedication to serving the public began over 20 years ago when I joined the United States Marine Corps. I then spent almost 10 years as a police officer with the Milwaukee Police Department, followed by 10 years as a Personnel Investigator for the Ho-Chunk Nation. Throughout my Investigator position, I conducted many in depth investigations, then made sound conclusions based on the HCN’s Employee Relations Act of 2004, HCN Acts, Laws, Resolutions and Standard Operating Procedures. My hard work resulted in numerous departments of the HCN saving money due to my findings and recommendations. I am currently the Community Health Office Manager and a Certified Mediator.

I am an active member of the Andrew Blackhawk American Legion Post 129 and the Andrew Blackhawk Auxiliary Post 129.

The reason I am running for Legislator is due to the many unanswered questions I have as well as other questions Tribal members have voiced. I see the potential for change in the Nation that will be beneficial for our members futures, starting with the youth’s education regarding our culture, careers, financial values and structured investments, which affects all of our futures, especially the care of our elders.

Essentially, I will be the Voice of reason that is heard and take the initiative and action needed to complete each task. This will be done through being the active listener, as I have always been, and keep the lines of communication open, so there are no questions unanswered. I shall use my experience as a Police Officer and an Investigator to thoroughly research all possible solutions. Dedicated to…

Building Youth Education Momentum through educational preparation to strengthen academic areas needing improvement, Mentoring and Internship Programs. Teaching life skills to succeed and be financially secure.

Assisting Elders with transportation and keeping them a positively productive force in the community; and supporting assisted living facilities.

Actively pursue the assistance to Veterans with housing, jobs, raising awareness to the families and community working with Military service related disabilities, PTSD and other requests. Creating a Veterans Healing Circle, with the input from Veterans, so they may assist healing other Veterans.

Implementing positive actions to have all government branches working together to reach goals that continue to make our Nation's future financially successful.

Standing firmly against Sand-Mining. The Ho-Chunk Nation needs to take positive progressive actions to halt the devastating effects on Mother Earth, which include the air, water and land, our people, all living creatures and plants.

Supporting the fundamental education, training and tools to promote employ-ability for our HCN members.

Networking with Ho-Chunk Nation member's businesses.

Building and sustaining business relationships that would be advantageous to the Nation.

My decisions will be professional, based on all relevant information, including input from the constituents, and meeting on common ground, following proper procedures to make the expeditious and best informed decisions.

Assure the Ho-Chunk Nation's Police Department proactively eradicate the illegal drugs within our communities which are poisoning our people.

We, the Nation, need to take steps to work together professionally, listen to each other and blend our ideas to create the best plan that brings the Nation success and prosperity for the present and future generations.
