Tony Evers elected as next governor of Wisconsin
In what many are calling a much needed change in Wisconsin leadership, state superintendent of public instruction Dr. Tony Evers (D) was elected Tuesday as the state's next governor.
As election day precinct reporting came in, it appeared the race for Wisconsin governor would come down to the slimmest of margins between Evers and incumbent governor Scott Walker.
Throughout Indian Country Wisconsin and beyond, a concerted effort to get Native voters to the polls heated up in the weeks leading up to the November 6th election.
In Red Cliff, the Red Cliff Tribal Council worked with the Red Cliff Transit program to offer free shuttle service to and from the polls on Tuesday. The Tribal Council also offered free tribal identification cards to ensure tribal member voters would not be turned away at the polls.
"Voting is not only a right but a duty and we (Tribal Council) wanted to make sure that individuals would not be denied," said Red Cliff Tribal Chairman Richard Peterson. "I was extremely proud of our community and their overwhelming enthusiasm during this election," added Peterson.
The advantage for Dr. Evers was razor thin, a little over 1 percentage point. With more than 2.6 million votes cast and 100 percent of precincts reporting, Evers led by about 30,000 votes.
Evers has played a big role in Indian Country Wisconsin, forging relationships with various tribal leaders and the Wisconsin Indian Education Association. Through his role as the state superintendent of public instruction, Evers has become a regular attendee at the Wisconsin Indian Education Association conferences, various meetings and has paid in-person visits to tribal communities across the state.
Closer to home in Red Cliff reaction to the election has consisted of an overall feeling of hope and optimism.
That sentiment was echoed across Indian Country Wisconsin.
In addition to Evers election, other notable wins included incumbent Janet Bewley, as well as incumbent Tammy Baldwin.
Evers election brings to a close Walker's eight years as governor, a tumultuous time within the state, which included efforts to reduce environmental protections for big corporations, reduced funding for public education and the dismantling of collecting bargaining rights for public workers.
"Regardless of whom a person votes for, the voting booth is where our voices can be truly heard," said Peterson. "I want to send a big Miigwech to all who voted and volunteered to help make this happen in Red Cliff," added Peterson.
Evers will take office in January of 2019.

Young military couple make their way while representing their respective communities
With Veterans Day just around the corner, many families take the opportunity to pay their respects to family members and friends that have served in the military.
For a young military couple from both Red Cliff and Lac du Flambeau, Veterans Day this year has a special meaning.
John "Pine" Edwards and his wife Darian Edwards (LaPointe) are stationed at Fort Lewis (Joint Base Lewis McChord - JBLM) in Washington State.
On November 1st of this year, Edwards was promoted from Sergeant to Staff Sergeant in a ceremony where his wife Darian "pinned" his new rank on his uniform.
SSG Edwards, a Lac du Flambeau Tribal Member and his wife Darian, a Red Cliff Tribal member, have been stationed at Fort Lewis since June of 2013. Edwards has been deployed three times over the course of his nine year US Army career, having been to Afghanistan twice - one in 2011-2012 and again in 2014 - and Iraq in 2017.
"I enjoy being able to travel to new places and see new things," said Edwards from JBLM at Fort Lewis. "Although I haven't seen combat up close, I enjoy meeting new people from all kinds of backgrounds - there are some really good people across the world," added Edwards.
Darian has been her husband's biggest supporter throughout his military career and shared a glimpse into his promotion to Staff Sergeant.
"I'm very proud of 'Pine' and super happy for him," said Darian. "He has been waiting for this since he passed the promotion board this past February," added Darian.
"Pine" is a lifelong nickname given to Edwards by his parents in honor of his father's mother's (Edwards' paternal grandmother Patsy Edwards of LdF) maiden name Pine.
Darian said that each month the couple would eagerly await testing scores to come out to see if Edwards made the cut.
"In early October, he went to the M4 shooting range and shot 40 out of 40," said Darian of her husband's marksmanship test. "Those were the points he needed and at the end of October, when the points came out, he got picked for staff sergeant," added an enthusiastic Darian.
"I think its wonderful -he's worked very hard to get where he's at," said Edwards' father John Edwards, Sr. "We're all very proud of him for his accomplishments. We're sure he'll continue to do great things," continued Edwards, Sr.
"Pine deserves this promotion very much," said Darian. "And I appreciate that they (US Army) always have me be a part of the ceremonies."
It was an honor for me to "pin" his new rank," added Darian.
The couple's plans include continuing their military career and serving their country and respective tribal communities.

Red Cliff Band files class action lawsuit against Equifax Inc.
Tribe alleges the credit reporting agency failed to maintain confidentiality, sues on behalf of other federally recognized tribes
The Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians on Thursday filed a putative class action against Equifax Inc., alleging that the tribe was harmed by the credit reporting agency’s inability to keep confidential information secure, filing not only on behalf of itself but also on behalf of all other federally recognized tribes.
The tribe requested a Wisconsin federal court to certify the class and toll “any and all applicable” statutes of limitations that might apply to the Equifax data breach that affected millions, according to the complaint.
The suit also seeks damages and alleges violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other laws, adding to the mounting legal issues Equifax faces from the data breach.
The data breach occurred between May and July 2017 and impacted nearly 150 million people. According to the suit, the company discovered the issue around July 29 but didn’t inform the public until September.
If certified, the suit would be a broad Native American effort against the companies. The Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa filed suit under its parens patriae authority that allows it to act on behalf of its members. The Red Cliff Band seeks to do so on behalf of other tribes for tolling purposes, however, it is still early and some details need to be worked out.
As of now, the Plaintiff Red Cliff Band has not decided whether the class “should be an ‘opt-in’ or ‘opt-out’ class,” the complaint states. Acknowledging the sovereign authority and rights of each and every Tribe and Nation, “the Plaintiff Red Cliff Band contemplates that all tribes and nations will unite in their efforts to obtain justice.”
The complaint states that important data, including Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and dates of birth, collected by Equifax was improperly obtained in a breach. Theft of such personally identifiable information caused damage to the affected individuals because the information could help thieves empty bank accounts, receive medical treatment, or cause other types of identity related harms, according to the suit.
Equifax knew that such personal information was highly sensitive, susceptible to attack, and could be used for wrongful purposes. Equifax did not receive consent from the Plaintiff Red Cliff Band, or other Tribes or Nations, for such information, according to the allegations.
Plaintiff and class members now face “years of constant surveillance of their financial and personal records,” the complaint states. “Plaintiff and class members have incurred and will continue to incur damages in addition to any fraudulent use of their [personally identifiable information].”
The complaint alleges that in addition to a lack of safeguards to protect the data, the company “failed to take reasonable measures” to protect itself and did not disclose the breach soon enough.
The Plaintiff Red Cliff Band is requesting class certification, tolling of the relevant statute of limitations, and asking the court to prevent Equifax from allowing any more misuse of such sensitive data. Red Cliff Band is also seeking an award of damages for the breach.
The Band is represented by T. Roe Frazer II, Patrick D. McMurtray, and Thomas Roe Frazer III of Frazer PLC, Dave Ujke of Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, J. Nixon Daniel III of Beggs & Lane RLLP, and Frederick T. Kuykendall Group LLC.
The case is Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, et al. v. Equifax Inc. et al., case number 18-cv-903, in the United States Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, Eau Claire Division.

Red Cliff Water & Sewer Update
November 5, 2018
Good Day Red Cliff Community:
Update on the Community Road/Pike Road project 13-J22
The sewer mains have been replaced and or relined to insure the sewage making it to the plant without leaking into the ground. Many of the homes and tribal buildings received new sewer cleanouts, and a few had their water curb stops replaced. The binder course of pavement has been laid for the winter. The final course will be installed spring 2019.There are parts of the roads that will be left graveled throughout the winter to allow for settling, this will prevent the road from becoming a roller coaster after the final application of pavement is laid. There is still some work that will be finished yet this month, but for the most part, construction will resume in the Spring of 2019 to bring this to the finished project. Some things that are left to be done: yard restoration, curb and gutter work, driveway restoration, riprap installation, and final asphalt application. If you have questions on this project you can call Robert Powless 715-779-9788 or Jeff Benton 715-779-3700.
Update on some other IHS improvements project from 2018
17-K19 Water System Improvements Project, this supported the removal of two old water towers and two wells that had served the Red Cliff area in the previous years. The water tower between Hillside and Water Tower Road has been drained, capped, taken down and all debris removed. This location has been refurbished for the cell tower project under the Tribe. The two remaining wells located on Bresette Hill and on Bineshii Drive, have also been abandoned and the ground has been restored to a natural state.
16-J70 Scattered Sites Project-IHS individual water and sewer project. In 2018, tribal members were served with new water and sewer services. We are always taking applications for new services, applications can be picked up and dropped off at the Waste Water Treatment Plant, 89160 Blueberry Road.
The project at the WWTP over the summer replaced of non-native Phragmites in the reed beds. Phragmites is a plant that is used to filter the contaminants from the ground with in the reed beds as part of the sewer processing. The existing genotype is to be replaced with a native strain that is less invasive to the environment. The Phragmites Project is an extensive one that has included The City of Bayfield, City of Washburn and Red Cliff waste water treatment facilities, funding for project from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Grant. This project has been completed and the new non- invasive phragmites have been planted.
New projects for 2019
In the 2019 Season we have a few new projects coming in to the Sewer portion of our system.
First, we have been funded to upgrade the WWTP pretreat building. This project will add an addition to house the current coarse screen make significate changes to the way the sewer enters the plant. This will also allow the staff to not have to work outside in the below zero winter months. Bids were sent out for this project. Project slated to begin in spring 2019.
Second, we have been funded through the Army Corp of Engineers to replace and/or reline a total of 6,312 feet of sewer line, 4 manholes to be replaced and 106 to be repaired. This will also include an upgrade to two of the sewer lift stations that pump the sewage tot the WWTP. The area of improvements will include but not limited to New Housing, Blueberry, Daley, Water Tower, Hillside, Birch Bark, Bradum Roads and a few more areas which will also be including a section of Bresette Road moving directly down to Gordon Road. This is scheduled to start in the late spring, bids for this project should be out late winter.
Again if you have any questions that pertain to the upcoming projects or any existing please call the Water and Sewer office @ 715-779-5228.
Happy Holiday Season from The Water and Sewer Department Staff!
Note, Friday, November 9, 2018
