LEGISLATURE’S JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MEETING While members of the public waited their turn to speak, members of the Legislature’s Judiciary Committee heard from long chain of people describ-ing their interactions with police. Among them was Rev. Darrell Goodwin, a United Church of Christ official for Nebraska and Iowa who’s black. Good-win said he was stopped three times while driving in Omaha last year but never charged with a violation. He said he was escorted into a demonstra-tion last weekend by Omaha police to de-escalate the situation, and all seemed to be going well until the eight o’clock curfew hit. "When eight o’clock came, I’m telling you, I stood in the wake of having pepper balls shot at me and my fellow clergyperson; I stood in the wake of having gas thrown at us; I stood in the wake and watched an Omaha police person shoot a young person in the back with pepper balls seven times. You cannot tell me that that was in their doing their job. I could not even pray for peo-ple as a black person in the state of Nebraska without being afraid of shot at or peppered, even after the police escorted me ‘safely,’” Goodwin said. Fatima Flores-Lagunas said having lived in Omaha for 20 years, she con-cluded the world was not built for people like her.

2020 PRIMARY ELECTION IN THE BOOKS The 2020 primary is officially in the books. Members of the Board of State Canvassers reviewed and approved the results of the statewide elec-tion. No problems were noted in the Canvass Board review, and no state races qualified for an automatic recount. Secretary of State Bob Evnen opened with a few remarks regarding the success of the primary election in the midst of a coronavirus pandemic. “The May 12th primary was historic in a number of respects. More Nebraskans voted in our 2020 primary in the history of our state.” Evnen added, “Nebraska did not move the primary elections. The polls were open. This was all accomplished within the legal framework in our state. Nebraska voters refused to allow the coronavirus pandemic to prevent them from exercising their right to vote.” Deputy Sec-retary for Elections Wayne Bena noted, “In addition to all 93 counties re-ceiving new ballot counting and ADA equipment, Nebraska received high marks for election security.” Prior to the 2020 primary election, Nebraska was the recipient of the Inaugural Innovators Award presented by the Na-tional Association of State Election Directors (NASED).

TWO CASES OF MIS-C The first and second confirmed cases of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) were reported to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). MIS-C is a condition where different body parts can become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs. One child is from Dawson County www.facebook.com/2RPHD/. The other child is from Douglas County www.douglascountyhealth.com/latest-news. Both are currently hospitalized. “We don’t know exactly what causes this syndrome, but we do know that many children diagnosed with it had COVID-19 or had been around some-one with COVID-19,” said Dr. Gary Anthone, Chief Medical Officer and Director of Public Health for DHHS. “The syndrome appears to be an un-common manifestation potentially tied to COVID-19. It can be very serious, but most children diagnosed with the condition have gotten better with medical care.” DHHS shared information on recognizing, managing and reporting potential cases of MIS-C with health care providers and local health departments across the state in a May 18 Health Alert Network advisory.

PIRATE PETE

LISTEN TO KICX AND THE HAWK

FOR PIRATE PETE CLUES!

SPORTS The Nebraska women's basketball team will have a strikingly differ-

ent roster in 2020-21, as Coach Amy Williams welcomes seven new-

comers to a 13-player roster, including four West Coast transfers, a

talented freshman post from Minnesota, a top player in the Australian

National Team program and one of the best guards in the state of

Nebraska. Although much of the United States and the world shut

down in mid-March because of the coronavirus outbreak, the Husker

coaching staff went to work adding a wide variety of experience with

four transfers joining the program since April 15. Those transfers will

be added to an incoming group of three freshmen who made their

commitments to Nebraska official in November of 2019. The seven

newcomers will join forces with six returning players (Kate Cain,

Taylor Kissinger, Sam Haiby, Isabelle Bourne, Trinity Brady, Makenzie

Helms) to represent the Huskers during the 2020-21 season.

Nebraska senior wide receiver JD Spielman officially entered the

transfer portal on Monday morning, ending his career as a Husker.

Spielman had been away from the team since before the start of

spring practice and his status with the team had long been a big

question mark in the offseason. Spielman did not go through spring

practices with Nebraska, and returned home to Minnesota in March to

deal with what Nebraska officials called a “personal health matter.”

The decision to transfer from Nebraska was a "mutual separation,"

according to a source. Spielman was poised to finish he career as

Nebraska’s leading wide receiver. He ranks third all-time at Nebraska

in both receptions and receiving yards, while ranking second in 100-

yard receiving games, third in combined kick return touchdowns,

seventh in punt return touchdowns and eighth in receiving touch-

downs. He finishes his career with 170 receptions for 2,546 yards and

15 touchdowns.
