But large outbreaks at meat-packing plants across the nation soon followed. The United Food and Commercial Workers, the largest union representing meat-packing employees, has counted 122 meatpacking worker deaths.

Marc Perrone, the president of United Food and Commercial Workers, argued the fine did not go far enough to punish a company that makes billions of dollars in a year.

“This so-called ‘fine’ is a slap on the wrist for Smithfield, and a slap in the face of the thousands of American meatpacking work-ers who have been putting their lives on the line to help feed

America since the beginning of this pandemic,” he said.

Meatpacking companies have aggressively defended their role in providing the nation’s food supply, warning that if plants closed because of the pandemic, grocery stores shelves would see shortages of meat. After President Donald Trump signed an executive order in April deeming meatpacking plants as critical infrastructure, they mostly stayed open.

The country’s slaughter-houses rebounded, and commer-cial red meat and pork produc-tion for this year has even exceeded last year, according to the latest data from the U.S.

Department of Agriculture.OSHA began investigating

Smithfield’s Sioux Falls plant on April 20, shortly after a team from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention toured the facility to offer recommen-dations on how meatpacking plants could operate during the pandemic.

Smithfield CEO Kenneth Sullivan has defended how the company handled the virus outbreak, sending a blister-ing, 14-page letter to Senate Democrats Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker after they inquired into how meatpackers have protected workers. Hundreds of employees signed on to Sul-

livan’s response. The company has asked its employees to sign onto a statement saying it took “aggressive measures” to protect their health.

BJ Motley, the president of the union for Smithfield workers in Sioux Falls, said Smithfield has implemented most of the measures recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to prevent infections at meatpacking plants. But he said workers still gather closely together in the plant.

But with a rising demand for meat and a shortage of employ-ees after the outbreak, Motley said, “They are pressing their workers a lot harder now.”

The gambling drive was spearheaded by horse-racing advocates and Ho-Chunk Inc., the economic development arm of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, which poured mil-lions of dollars into the effort.

The three measures would have changed Nebraska’s con-stitution to allow gambling and created two laws to regulate and tax the industry. If passed, some of the tax revenue would be funneled into a state prop-erty tax credit.

Evnen took issue with one of the ballot measures that said casino gambling would only be allowed at state-

licensed racetracks. He said the statement was “materially misleading” to voters because the measure would also allow casinos on tribal lands in Ne-braska, even if they don’t have a racetrack.

The court rejected Evnen’s argument, noting that the measures are broken into three separate items that voters can consider individually.

school year.Though the district COVID

plan allows students to switch back and forth, a survey of YSD families last spring showed that the majority of respondents wanted students learning in person. Administrators agree.

“The best option is for students to be face to face to get their instruction,” Yankton Middle School Principal Todd Dvoracek told the Press & Dako-tan. “The staff at YSD has done a nice job of making it possible for the remote learners, and if you legitimately have a reason to remote learn, then it is a nice option. If not, students should be in school.”

“Students thrive in the classroom with face-to-face instruction from their teachers,” YHS Principal Jennifer Johnke added. “While our teachers have worked diligently to provide remote learning opportunities, there is no replacement for in-class instruction.”

YSD opened its doors for in-school learning two weeks ago, and has kept them open with two cases of COVID reported so far.

According to school officials, about 8% of YHS and YMS stu-dents are e-learning.

“We have about 5% of our students that are choosing distance learning for a variety of reasons,” Beadle Elementary School Principal Carey Mitzel said. “Some may have students with health concerns or caregiv-ers with health concerns; others wanted to begin with this option because they had concerns with the COVID numbers in our com-munity.”

Gillis, who said she tends to get colds throughout the winter, found herself in isolation re-cently after exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms. She subsequently decided to switch to online instruction.

The new online learning sys-tem was streamlined and easy to use, she said.

“You go to Google Classroom and you have everything you need right there,” Gillis said. “You have the lesson plans, you have all the assignments.

I looked at the pre-recorded lectures and I got the homework done.”

While in isolation, Gillis was required to stay out of school for 10 days or test negative.

“It was completely reason-able,” she said. “It was to the point where I was concerned that I could have had COVID — and I had the symptoms — and I didn’t want that to spread to any of my friends or to any of the staff, because that would make the situation 10 times worse.”

After several days and a negative COVID test result, Gillis returned to school, finding that there were added assignments she had to catch up on and some that she had completed were taken out of the lesson plan. With her recurring colds, Gillis believed this transition was likely something she would have to repeat throughout the year.

“The transition back into school after being out for so long was the roughest part,” she said. “It would have been easier if I had stayed online because I’m going to be in and out, be-cause I get sick so often.”

Staying home gives Gillis

some consistency in learning, but also could reduce her expo-sure to sickness over the winter.

After a couple of weeks back in school, Gillis opted to finish the year online. Now, when she actually has to go into school, Gillis wears a mask and has limited contact with the rest of the students.

“The guidance office is really accommodating for anyone who has special circumstances, or has some classes that they really need to attend, like chemistry,” she said. “I can still come back for the class periods that I would need to be in school for. In or-chestra, the teacher can let me in the back door where I don’t have to interact with students. I can go in and play my cello, and it’s a lot less exposure to a lot fewer kids.”

As satisfied as she is with the option of online learning, it’s not for everyone, she said.

“I feel like online learning is generally safer,” Gillis said. “But, if you’re a person who learns better in a classroom, then you should be in the learning envi-ronment that works best for you and for your health.”

Noem Plans CARES Act Spending, Oversight SoughtBY STEPHEN GROVES

SIOUX FALLS. (AP) — South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s administration on Thursday laid out a plan to spend the bulk of the $1.25 billion in federal funds the state has received to address the coronavirus crisis, but some House lawmakers balked at allo-cating the money without more input from the legislature.

The Republican governor’s administra-tion has spent about $114 million in federal funds so far and must expend the rest of the money by December 30 unless Congress extends the deadline. Noem this week laid

out a plan to make $400 million available to businesses hurt by the pandemic, and a leg-islative committee that handles the budget provided some feedback on it.

But as lawmakers debate how best to use over $600 million of what’s left to address the pandemic and its economic fallout, a divide has formed over calling a special session to approve the use of the funds. Lawmakers also plan to hold public input sessions this month to formulate sugges-tions on how to use the money.

“Where is the legislative oversight? Where is the legislative input?” Rep. Taffy Howard, a Republican from Rapid City, asked during the Thursday meeting.

Howard said that the governor would be taking input from the legislature as it holds committee meetings this month, but as-serted that Noem has the authority to spend federal funds without a special legislative session. The federal money is a massive windfall for the state, equivalent to roughly 25% of its entire annual budget.

Speaker Steve Haugaard, a Sioux Falls Re-publican, has requested Noem call a special session, with dozens of House lawmakers signing onto a letter supporting that motion.

“This should not be just seen as an op-portunity to stuff her hands in the cookie jar,” Haugaard said of the governor’s funding plans.
