2014-2015 City budget
approved by City Council
The Plainview City Council approved the 2014-2015 budget on the
first hearing, tabled an electrical rate
increase and scheduled a special
meeting to discuss employee wages
for the new year at its September
meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 9.
City Administrator Michael Holton
presented the new year’s budget for
the Council and the public hearing,
and City Accountant Mike Pommer
explained the figures and changes for
the year.
The Council had reviewed the
budget and all the changes at a workshop held earlier, and had no changes
to the presented information.
According the to budget paperwork, and Pommer’s analysis, the
City budget (including the Plainview
Manor) will hold within about
$400,000 of last year’s total, increasing to just more than $6 million in
total expenditures.
Pommer said that $400,000 increase was split about half and half

of age and younger also have to
meet certain height and weight requirements. Individuals 16 years of
age need a parental permission form
to donate. This form can be picked
up from Ronita Jacobsen at the
High School.
“The blood supply is currently
very low with many demands being
made for blood due to this year’s
weather conditions. The conditions
across the nation this past year has
led to the closing of donation locations and the canceling of blood
drives. Every donation will help. If
you have never donated, please
consider donating at this time. Additionally, Plainview High School
receives scholarship money from
the Red Cross based upon the total
number of donations received each
year, stated Jacobsen.

between the City and the Manor,
which, when paired with the City’s
lower valuation this year, created a tax
asking of around $239,000.
Pommer also said that the City of
Plainview currently has about four
months of expenses in cash reserves,
or about 33 percent of the 50 percent
of the total budget that is allowed in
savings.
The Council heard one comment
during the hearing from Brook Curtiss about electrical rates paired with
increases, and the topic was also discussed later during the electrical rate
increase discussion.
The Council approved the budget
unanimously, Council member Joe
Grof absent.
Following a bit later on the agenda
was a request from City Administrator Holton to increase electrical rates
8 percent in the next billing cycle to
adjust for costs passed down from the
power supplying companies.
Holton said that this increase,

two minutes to reply.
To end the forum each candidate
will ask their opponent one question
and the opponent will have three
minutes to reply.
This forum is open to the public.
The forum will be hosted by
KBRX radio. It will be recorded and
replayed on 102.9 FM and

Department of
Roads reminds of
the rights-of-way
The Nebraska Department of
Roads (NDOR) is reminding Nebraskans that it is against the law to
erect political campaign signs, or any
signs, on state highway right-of-way.
Various sizes of signs often appear
along roadsides around national and
local election time.
NDOR maintenance crews will remove signs that are improperly placed
within the state highway rights-ofway. These signs will be stored for a
brief period of time in NDOR maintenance yards across the state, where
they can be reclaimed by the owners.
This state right-of-way reminder
applies to any errant plantings or harvesting operations, parked equipment
or salvage items, commercial sales,
private business stands, garage sale
signs, and debris.
According to State of Nebraska
statutes, no physical or functional encroachments upon right-of-way of
State highway are permitted.

“Nebraska” display progressing at
Historical and Depot Museum
A local Girl Scout, Natalie Lingenfelter, has made significant progress
on her Gold Award project, chronicling and creating a display of the
movie “Nebraska” for the Plainview
Historical Society.
Alongside that project, Lingenfelter is in need of interviews, memorabilia and donated items that can help
fill out the display.
Thus far, she has received a number of donations, including:

would make for the last five years a
32 percent increase total. Starting
with a 24 percent increase over three
years, which actually stretched over
four years with one year blocked for
increases, to “get caught up in cost.”
This latest 8 percent was proposed
for the same reason, as the power
companies are charging more for electricity, so the rates will continue to
rise on the consumer end.
Holton said he would be in favor of
a resolution that would automatically
raise rates every time an increase in
cost was discovered, but the Council
decided to table the issue and look
into area rates again to see where
Plainview falls in competitiveness at
the October meeting before decided to
increase rates.
With one last budget-oriented discussion, the Council scheduled a special meeting on Tuesday evening,
Sept. 16 to review increasing wages
for the new year.
In other business the Council:
* Heard that the Plainview Manor
had made final arrangements on the
facility’s bond for its latest construction, and would be holding a “bond
burning” on September 25;
* Approved extension paperwork
for the CDBG housing rehabilitation
grant program;
* Discussed sale of two lots
thought to be owned by the City, discovered they were not, and agreed to
have the City’s available property and
rest of the nuisance property land
“finished off” so that all the lots could
be sold at public offering at a later
date. There are still currently five or
six lots that are available for sale
around town, inquiry can be made at
the City offices.

It’s Getting to be Election Time!
Babbling Brook
By: Michael Holton
City Administrator
Destiny?
I’ve never really understood the need for everyone to feel like they’re special or distinct and different from everyone else.
When I was younger, everyone always encouraged me to make goals - to
make lists of things I could dream about and then work toward making those
things reality.
While attending meetings as an older person, I find myself often saying
that ‘we’ need to stop being reactive, and start being active in the decisions and
movements we decide to take.
Are you seeing an odd pattern here?
Self-fulfilling prophecy has always been an interest of mine. There are multiple mental issues that make people believe that just because they’re comfortable with something, they’re actually a part of it - something along the
lines of the Stockholm Syndrome, no doubt.
Lately, with the advent and movement of Facebook into our every day lives,
many of these “apps” can be found - “What’s your perfect profession?” “What
color are you?” “How many parts cupcake are you?”
All sorts of really redeeming things.
One of my favorites falls into the numerology category - taking your name
and exchanging the letters for a number value and then using those numbers
to make something else, or perhaps choose random things from a list to make
a new name. Something like that.
What it really amounts to is a new, digital version of MASH or that game
with the paper that folds a few different ways like a flower and you pick your
“destiny” from whatever flap you happen to land on.
Partially, we do this for entertainment, but then you find those people that
really believe in astrology or your fortune cookies or some such stuff.
For all the times that something like that really works out, there are literally hundreds of times it does not work out. So I’m not really sure why people place so much stock into it.
Myself? I’m a much more reactive person.
I see a situation, and decide how I’m going to react. I enter into a problem
and solve it along the way. I’m more of a “go with the flow” type person than
a planner and/or goal setter.
I suppose that makes me rather un-motivated, but I’m having fun working
my way through things, so I don’t really bother to notice.
My birthday, for instance, falls on Constitution Day.
My dad’s birthday falls on Flag Day.
My wife’s birthday is on the Summer Solstice.
My anniversary falls directly between my sister and mother’s birthdays.
All those things, in my desparate attempt to find self-worth, must mean
something. They can’t all just be random!
When I couple the above with the fact that I was born in an even year, my
daughte was born exactly 25 years later and my son’s birthday is two days before Thanksgiving (just close enough to eat 3-4 times) I must solidly conclude
that my life has meaning and worth and value and I can now sleep at night and
concetrate during the day into being the best I could ever imagine to be.
The problem is, I can’t imagine attempting to find worth that way.
I don’t swing the other side of the gate so far as to say that everyone is intrinsically valuable. There are some people in our society that are hampering
rather than helping.
One part of “destiny” that I can never reconcile all the way is that of the existence of “hope.”
True hope doesn’t depend on your frame of mind or if you’re happy or not.
It doesn’t depend on having experienced some horrific series of events. Hope
is generated from something beyond ourselves - but it rubs directly against
what everyone else believes about destiny.
I can sit around and wait for the world to fall in my lap, or I can work hard
to change it. I can wait for the government to feed me, or I can work to change
my situation. I can be uncomfortable and uncontent with every situation I’ve
clearly gotten myself into and become a grumpy old man, or I can work to
change it.
Education about hope has to be one of the biggest things we are lacking in
our world today. “Teaching a fisherman to fish” is a very similar line of thinking.
Would you rather have a handout or have someone show you how to get
your own?
Since today is Constitution Day, will you rise up and regard your rights and
liberties, or will you allow someone to tell you what they are?
Will you take my word for it, or will you do your own research?
Everyone cares about something, and I find it fascinating to determine what
it is, and not why they care so much about it, but why they don’t care about
the same things I do. It’s probably my “destiny” to find out.
I love informing people and watching what they do with the truth. Fascinating stuff.....
YOUR VIEW
Writing letters to the editor is not really my forte and something I have not
done in the past but we have a very important issue coming up on the ballot for
the citizens of Plainview on November
4, 2014.
The LB 840 plan requires a vote of
the people of Plainview which will determine the future of economic development as well as the social benefit of
living in a smaller community. This vote
will decide if we are to thrive on the
good things that can happen to us if we
put forth the effort or live in the somewhat same old rut we tend to do so easily.
The LB840 plan will give the Plainview area many more economic development opportunities then we presently
have. This will give us an economic development plan and strategy to use for
our future direction.
You can read the plan in its entirety
on the City of Plainview website or get
a copy in writing if you wish. The funding of this program has already been established by the voters of Plainview by
providing a portion of the sales tax.
This plan will not raise the amount of
levied tax on property. We need the
guidance of a plan that will address the
needs of the Plainview community.
Approving the LB840 plan will give
direction and guidance to the City Council and any new members that are
elected. Also will do the same for any
new Economic Development Coordinator that eventually steps into that position.
The plan spells out how the funds can
be used under the direction of an Advisory Committee with final approval
coming from the City Council.
As you can see this is a major issue
for the community and a bold step forward.

November is not too far around the
corner.
This means that the ballots will be
flying and that issues will be decided
in the election. It is exciting to me as
the local elections have several issues
to be decided. Let’s start with the bond
that is being proposed for the new library.
The way the
language is set up
it shows that the
question will read
that the bond of
$500,000 be approved for the
building of a new
library using property tax dollars if
the money is not
raised by retail
sales tax.
The reason that the language was
used like this was to ensure that the city
would cover the amount owed each
year. The payment on the bond will be
approximately $33,000 and the retail
sales tax which was passed by the vote
of the people is running close to
$36,000 in collection a year for the library. Here is the straight facts regarding the issue on the ballot.

erties and freedom, and to ensure those
inalienable rights to every American.
The United States of America functions as a republic under the Constitution, which is the oldest document still
in active use that outlines the self-government of people.
This landmark idea that men had the
inalienable right as individuals to be free
and live their lives under the own governance was the impetus of the American Revolution. Today, the Constitution
stands as an icon of freedom for people
around the world.
However, as Thomas Jefferson noted,
without education about this remarkable
document, the public cannot make the
decisions necessary to preserve the responsibilities and rights our Constitution
Earlier today my organization lost
one of our own photographers, Rebecca Kroeger, in a car accident in
Minnesota. For someone who has
built a career on writing, I can tell you
it has never been more difficult to find
the right words to express our sadness
and to describe who Rebecca was as a
person.
There is no way to accurately describe her vibrant personality and
willingness to help anyone she could.
Nothing scared her, and she took the
world by storm every chance she was
given. I have never been more proud
of anyone I have ever had the chance
to meet.
That, I can tell you, is the most difficult part of today. I feel so incredibly honored to have had the chance to
be a part of this young lady’s life and
to get the chance to see her grow up in
front of my very own eyes.
I had the privilege of meeting this
beautiful woman just after her junior
year of high school as her counselor
for South Dakota Girls State Journalism City. Girls State brings high
school women from across the state to
participate in a mock government,
while young journalists put together a
daily newspaper for coverage of the
week-long events.
Rebecca walked in that Monday afternoon, and I instantly knew she was
vibrant, young, passionate and an
guarantees.
There are many sources available to
promote education about the Constitution. Our public libraries, our local
schools, colleges, programs on television and the Internet are just a few. Read
your Constitution. Learn and understand
your rights and responsibilities.
Without this education, America may
find that these very important foundations of our country are fading away.
An informed citizenry can change the
course of history and improve the quality of life in our great country.
Take up the challenge!

You do not have to vote for the bond
nor are you forced to. The facts of the
issue are that you have already passed
a sales tax that is collecting money as
we speak for the construction of a new
library. Construction costs on a library
are not going to go down each year as
the money is being collected. There
are also several grant applications in
the works for the building of a new library and it is possible that the full
$500,000 may not be needed. Simple
facts are that the bond will not increase
your property tax based upon the current situation. Could it change in 1520 years? Sure, it could but so could a
lot of other things.
If we can get retail sales tax to increase over the next 15-20 years we
may not be even discussing this. Now,
the question becomes if we need a new
library? My advice to all citizens who
question this is to go to the current library and take a look and then form
your own opinion.
The second question on the ballot
has to do with the LB840 issue. It is
rather simple in that it is a detailed plan
that lays out what the economic dollars
that are currently being gathered can be
used for.
Once again, as citizens of Plainview,
you have already passed an economic
development retail sales tax and this
issue simply points out how the dollars
can be spent and who has the authority
over it. The straight facts of this issue
are simple as well.
You can choose to not pass this issue
and the money will continue to be collected without any purpose or you can
pass the issue and have a say in the purpose. If you are interested in seeing the
LB840 plan and how it will work you
can go to Plainview’s website and look
it over and form your own opinion.
As public officials we are bound by
law to neither support nor go against an
issue on the ballot but to deliver the
facts. Sometimes issues can be controversial in nature like school bond issues, fluoride treatment, election of
candidates to public offices, overriding
the levy to collect more taxes but neither of these issues are that.
The last issue to deal with are the
voting of the candidates.
These are varied and determine policy for several boards. Elected officials
are the voice of the people no matter
what else is said. Vote on the candidate
that will execute policy based upon the
will of the citizens of the community
or region.
The one area that has always been
weak is the will of the people being
dictated by a vocal minority while the
silent majority complains. Candidates
have agendas which is proper and
common but they should not be driven
individually by guiding self-interests.
If you are unsure what those interests
are, ask the candidate. They may not
be in favor of items that you want to
see addressed or not addressed.
Local elections are at the root of
democracy and too often they are not
exercised to their fullest ability. Get
registered to vote if you have not already registered and make sure to vote
your conscience regardless. If you are
unsure of some of the issues, feel free
to call the candidates or call me at the
city office if you need something to be
explained in greater detail.
The bottom line is it your vote and
your decision. Make the most out of
it.

overall incredible individual. Her own
camera in tow, she came prepared to
bring her craft to everyone taking part
in our program — taking hundreds of
photos at every single event that week.
I can also tell you everyone on my
staff felt the exact same way about
her. It is never easy, as an individual
or an organization, to hear such heartbreaking news, and telling my staff
was the most difficult thing I have
ever done in my entire life.
I could see in each of their eyes as
they welled with tears a heartbreak I
cannot describe. Ask anyone who
knew Rebecca, and the first thing they
will tell you is how vibrant her spirit
was.
When I think of Rebecca, I think of
just that — a creative, talented woman
who was so gifted in her ability to
capture photos and create beautiful
images. Her Instagram, Facebook and
Twitter were all full of her passion.
She lived and breathed art and photography.
But with that privilege of knowing
someone so special comes the great
responsibility of honoring her memory in any way possible. I can only
hope as I grow as a person I exude
half of her spunk, her beauty, her kindness and her creativity. Each and
every day is a gift, and if everyone
lived life as full as Rebecca’s, this
world would be the most beautiful
place.
Rebecca will be missed by many,
not only at The Volante and Girls
State, but in the state of South Dakota
and the campus of USD.

On Tuesday, September 16 the
hospital reported having 2 patients.
West Nile active in Nebraska;
no 2014 deaths linked
As of the week ending September
12, 2014 there have been 36 human
cases of West Nile Virus. There
have not been any deaths linked to
West Nile Virus so far in 2014.
Twenty-eight cases have been West
Nile Virus fever and the remaining
8 cases have been diagnosed with
West Nile Virus meningoencephalitis. Mosquito pools have tested
positive for West Nile Virus in
Cherry and Holt Counties in the
NCDHD district and in multiple
counties throughout Nebraska.
There have been five birds that
have tested positive for West Nile
Virus in Nebraska.
Most people who get West Nile
Virus from an infected mosquito
will have no symptoms or will have
only mild flu-like symptoms. Less
than one out of 150 people who get
bitten by an infected mosquito become seriously ill. However, people over the age of 50 and those
with weakened immune systems are
especially at risk to the disease and
are more likely to have serious results.
fever includes flu-like symptoms, such as fever and muscle
weakness. Symptoms of encephalitis include inflammation of the
brain, disorientation, convulsions
and paralysis.
North Central District Health Department would like to remind you
to protect yourself and your family
from mosquito bites. You can help
lower your chances of getting West
Nile Virus by following these steps:
Put on mosquito repellent containing DEET, picaridin or oil of
lemon eucalyptus;
Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants
and socks;
Avoid going out at dawn and
dusk when mosquitoes are most active; and
Get rid of standing water to reduce mosquito breeding sites.
North Central District Health Department also takes calls regarding
sick or dead birds that have been
found. All dead birds should also
be reported to the Health Depart-

North Central District Health Department is providing a public health
update on enteroviruses. Enterovirus
infections are common in the summer and fall and are related to the
common cold. Colds are normal for
this time of year and spread easily
now that school is back in session.
According to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services,
there are many states which are
close to Nebraska which are seeing
more children than usual with severe
respiratory illness caused by enterovirus D68 (EV-D68).
Enteroviruses are very common
with more than 100 known types.
EV-D68 infections occur less often.
EV-D68 appears to spread through
close contact with infected people. It
is a respiratory disease that can make
asthma more severe and brings on
wheezing. There are no vaccines for
preventing EV-D68.
Parents are encouraged to contact
their health care provider if their
child has cold like symptoms (fever,
runny nose, sneezing, cough, body
and muscle aches) and starts to have
trouble breathing.
To help reduce the risk of infection
with EV-D68:
Wash hands often with soap &
water for 20 seconds
Avoid touching eyes, nose, &
mouth with unwashed hands
Avoid kissing, hugging and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick
Disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as toys & doorknobs, especially if someone is sick
Stay home when feeling sick, and
talk with your healthcare provider if
you have questions
The simple action of washing
your hands can make a difference in
the health of your home and community. Here is a reminder to everyone
on the correct way of washing hands:
Wet hands with warm water and
use soap.
Rub your hands together, making
sure to scrub all areas.
Rub for a minimum of 20 seconds
or sing “Happy Birthday.”
Rinse thoroughly, then dry hands
on a clean towel.
Turn faucet off with a clean towel,
not hands, to prevent recontamination.

Marcus B. Kamrath, 24
Darold O. Rasmussen
Funeral services for Marcus B. Kamrath, formerly of Battle Creek, were held
at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Battle Creek on Thursday, Sept. 18.
Father Dave Belt served as celebrant, and burial was at the Union Cemetery
just south of Battle Creek.
Father Joe Wray served as organist and music was provided by the Kirby
girls.
Casket bearers were Kamrath’s cousins, Branden
Stoural, Troy Philpott, Aaron Philpott, Matt Gross, Steven
Kay, Jason Allen, Ryan Wolken, and Jason Bernhardt. Honorary casket bearers were his friends. In honor of Kamrath’s love for football, the casket bearers will be wearing
his jerseys of his two favorite teams, the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Green Bay Packers.
Marcus Bradley Kamrath was born on September 22,
1989 to Marcus Kamrath and Tammi Stoural and died on
Friday, Sept. 12 as the result of a car accident in Stanton
County.
He was a member of St. Patrick’s church in Battle Creek
and attended school there.
As a Battle Creek Brave, he grew up loving football and was also involved
in basketball, wrestling, and track and he graduated from Battle Creek High
School in 2008.
Thanks to the influence of his mother he became a “Cheesehead” at a very
early age as they were both ardent fans of the Green Bay Packers professional
NFL football team. Although the Packers were forever his “number one” team,
he also naturally developed a passion for cheering on the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
In fact, his love for the state’s home team led him to study at the University
of Nebraska in Lincoln where he not only went to as many Husker games as
possible, he also earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Hospitality, Restaurant, and Tourism Management this past year.
After serving an internship the previous year at Divots in Norfolk, he naturally found himself employed in Sales Management at The Cornhusker Marriott
Hotel in Lincoln. However, his true love was instilled by his father—getting his
hands dirty and working on cars.
This irresistible calling led him to shut the office door and purchase a toolbox and go study Auto Body at the Southeast Community College campus at
Milford where he was just finishing up the final touches on his prized possession—a 1981 El Camino he got when he was 16 years old.
In addition to working on cars, Kamrath enjoyed almost anything that involved getting dirty— whether that was jumping with four wheelers or racing
dirt bikes with his crew of hometown buddies known as the “Pit Bike Bandits.”
Kamrath will be remembered by his family for his infectious smile and contagious laughter, as well as his heartwarming hugs. He had a knack for quickly
making friends with anyone of any age, including complete strangers and “didn’t possess a mean bone in his body.”
He was a natural entertainer and was known for his hilarious text messages,
snap chats, and voicemails.
Anyone who ever heard his Harry Caray impersonations or one of his many
jokes enjoyed his natural gift for making others laugh. His zest for life serves
as an important lesson for us all to find the positive in every situation and to live
each day to its fullest.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents: Bill Stoural, Betty Stoural and
Earl and Dortha Kamrath; as well as two of his uncles: Bradley Stoural and
Roger Kamrath.
Marcus Kamrath is survived by his parents: Tammi Stoural and Marcus
Kamrath of Battle Creek, and many aunts and uncles including the following:
Merlin Kamrath of Battle Creek, Vernon and Janice Kamrath of Laurel, Delene Kamrath of Omaha, Terry and Tracy Stoural of Battle Creek, Kevin and
Diane Stoural of Battle Creek, Vicki Volquardsen and Kelly Fries of Norfolk
and many cousins whom he fiercely loved.
In Lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the family for a future designation in Kamrath’s name.
Memorial services for Darold O. Rasmussen of Plainview were held on Friday, Sept. 12 at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Plainview.
P.M.A. Jacquelyn Samway officiated the service and burial was in the Pleasant View Cemetery north of Plainview.
Sue Johnson served as soloist for “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” and “Jesus
is Lord of All” and Congregational Hymns were “Precious Lord, Take My
Hand” and “I Know My Redeemer Lives.” Jan Krause served as organist.
Bearers were Mark Carpenter, Warren Peterson, Chris Rasmussen, Tony Rasmussen, Bill Whitten and Gary Johnson.
Military honors were provided by the Plainview American Legion Post #148
and Plainview V.F.W. Post #5330.
Darold O. Rasmussen was born on July 8, 1924 at Viborg, S.D. to C.O. and Carrie Rasmussen and died September 9, 2014 in Plainview.
He attended schools in Viborg and Centerville and was
a member of the 1942 Centerville High School graduating
class.
He worked then on the farm with his father until he was
drafted into the U.S. Army in 1945. Following his service
he briefly returned home to farm and then moved to Port
Angeles, Wash. where he worked for two years.
He worked as an automotive parts man in Sioux City and
Norfolk from 1948 to 1952.
It was while working in Norfolk that Darold met Ferne Johnson. The couple married on February 5, 1950 at Bethany Lutheran Church and enjoyed 63
years of married life. Their marriage was blessed with three children, Daniel,
Jolene and Gordon.
The couple farmed for 16 years until they opened Plainview International,
which they owned and operated until 1983.
During his years in business Rasmussen developed many long lasting relationships with his customers which he dearly valued. He was active in his
adopted hometown of Plainview and served in numerous organizations and on
their boards. He was particularly proud of his service on the Plainview School
Board during the reorganization of the Plainview School District. He also
served as American Legion Commander, County Commander, on the Board of
Directors for the Plainview Development Corporation and Chamber of Commerce and as a member of the Plainview City Council.
He was a man of faith and was an active member of Our Savior’s Lutheran
Church.
Ramussen enjoyed working for the betterment of the community and volunteered countless hours on projects including the Veteran’s Memorial, addition of the Klown Doll Museum, and the promotion of Plainview and Nebraska
while wintering in Lake Havasu, Ariz.
He was known as “The Balloon Man” and delighted in twisting balloons for
children, especially entertaining children with special needs.
During retirement, he liked working on his golf game at the Plainview Country Club with his standing foursome of good friends, Wil Naprstek, Stub Couchman, and Warren Hoffart. Four of Ramussen’s five “hole-in-one’s” were
obtained at this course. He also gained much satisfaction from his woodworking and carving projects.
Nothing brought Rasmussen more pride and joy than his family and especially his grandchildren who are left with wonderful memories of a devoted
family man who loved a good laugh and a game of cards.
He was preceded in death by his parents, wife, Ferne, brothers and sistersin-law Earl and Lorraine Rasmussen, Ray and Iona Rasmussen, sister and
brothers-in-law, Ada and Jim Oakland, Dale Carpenter, and Al Parmenter.
Darold O. Rasmussen is survived by his sons: Dan (Kathryn) Rasmussen of
Birmingham, Ala.; Gordon (Tracy) Rasmussen of Holmen, Wisc.; his daughter, Jolene (Roger) Lee of Bloomington, Ind. and grandchildren: Becky Rasmussen and Lydia of Houston, Texas, Sarah Rasmussen and Andrew
Rasmussen of Omaha, Jessica (Ryan) Kulinski, Jackson, Jocelyn and Sophia of

The last scheduled event of the year
at the Plainview Country Club was
held on September 9 with the playing
of the fifth Senior’s Two-Man Scramble of the season.
The team of Doerr-Sterkel won the
first-flight with a decent score of 65.
There was a tie in the second flight
with the Ralston-Hammer and Shaffer-Stelling teams both shooting 71.
The 24 aging competitors enjoyed
pork steak dinners after their 18 holes
of scrambling.
There were roasters full of chili
cooked up for the September Stag
Nites, but the men are going to come
up a little short as after only two
weeks, the roasters are empty. The
guys should learn to ration their provisions a little better.
There will still be many days of
good weather in the coming weeks, so
come out and enjoy…chili or no chili.
Notice: The high schools girls golf
team will host the annual Plainview
Invite this Saturday, Sept. 20, so the
course will be closed until mid- or late
afternoon. The girls will also have the
course at 4 p.m. on the 22nd for a Triangular for a couple of hours.
Irrigation tops Club News
A little recap of the year would
have the installation of the new irrigation system as #1.
The original fairway irrigation
lasted almost exactly 30 years, but
was needing more repairs as time
went on so even though the cost
seemed high, a new system was certainly needed.
With the diligent work of the Board
members, the open wallets of Club
Members, and the generosity of
Becky and Lance PIttack (providing a
new pickup through the Woodhouse
Dealerships for a raffle) a good sized
chunk of the tab has been paid off.
The Sunday night meals fed an average of more than 50 folks each
week with the profits going toward

the irrigation bill.
More than 550 meals were served
through the summer with the Board
members each taking a turn with the
Knaak and Michael couples cooking
one night the last of August.
The annual Plainview Open proves
to be a success year after year, the first
Senior’s Open was held this year in
August and was a harbinger for a successful annual tournament.
The flower beds at the front drives
of the club and around the different
tee boxes certainly adds to the beauty
of the course. Then, there is the golf
course itself. Mark Acklie and his
grounds crew keep the course in beautiful shape which makes membership
at Plainview the best bang for a buck
in Northeast Nebraska, or maybe the
whole state.
Golf Note: A couple of weeks ago a
statistic was cited from the PGA that
pros make only 55 percent of the putts
six feet and less. Johnny Miller
pointed out at the final Tour Championship and the FedEx final that Billy
Horschel had made 95 out of 95 of his
5 foot putts and less. He won
$10,144,000 – Billy, not Johnny.
At their second tournament in three
days, the Plainview Lady Pirate golf
team traveled to the Evergreen golf
course in Battle Creek.
Evergreen is a links course with native grass instead of mown grass of
longer length than the fairways. Even
though the native grass was played as a
modified lateral hazard, it still led to
some high scores, said Coach Larry
Knaak.
The only team to have played the
course was the home team, Battle
Creek. O’Neill continued to play well
as a team, as they took their third team
championship this season, by defeating
Battle Creek, a team that had beaten
them at Pierce last Saturday.
O’Neill had 388 while Battle Creek
had 407. Plainview shot 474, almost 30
strokes lower than their previous best
this year.
Stephanie Sorensen improved in the
standings from the Pierce meet as she
finished third with a 90. She had a 46
on the front nine as two triple-bogies
marred a round of three pars and a
birdie. On the back, she had two double
bogies to go with four pars.
Morgan Hampton was unable to conquer the two par fives into the wind on
the front nine, and shot a 49. However,
Hampton had three pars in a row to give
her a boost, and although she still had
trouble with those two holes, she shot a
career low of 41. Her 90 placed her in
16th –one stroke off a medal.
Matti Watson struggled with her
opening three holes before she started
to play much better, and finished with a
48 on the front, said Knaak. Improving
on those three holes on the back nine by
three strokes, Watson had a 53 on the
back nine to finish 18th.
Playing a different kind of course,
and also a new course, took its toll on
the two new sophomores, said Knaak.
The very large greens gave them problems.
Sarah Watson opened her round with
a bogie, but the rest of the round included several lost balls in the native
grass, to give her an 82. Starting the second round on the same hole, Watson
recorded another bogie, but was only
able to improve one stroke to finish at
81.
Watson’s 163 ended the teams coring
for Plainview.
Jaydin Doerr had her score of 179 not
used. “Jaydin does not have enough experience to be able to play well on a
course like Evergreen,” said Coach
Knaak. However, she is learning with
every hole played and will improve a lot
this season, said Knaak. As an example,
Doerr had three bogies for her highlight.
The Pirates host their own tournament this Saturday, Sept. 13 and, said
Knaak, would enjoy having some support from the school and community.
Pierce Invite
The Plainview Lady Pirate girls golf
team traveled to Pierce on September
14 for the Pierce Invitational.
The meet was won by Battle Creek’s
Lady Bravettes with a score of 401 with
O’Neill second at 421. Plainview finished 10th overall with 502, their lowest
score of the year so far.
The team did have three individuals
medal.
Stephanie Sorensen tied for ninth
with a score of 99. She shot a 47 on the
front nine that had her in fourth-place,
indicating, said Knaak, that she can play
with the best girls in the area as most of
them were at this tournament. However,
Sorensen struggled on the back nine
when she was unable to get into a good
rhythm and never had a par in the
round.
Matti Watson received the 19th-place
medal with a career low score of 108.
Watson started off well, said Knaak, and
did not let a couple of poor holes deter
her to shoot 56 on the front. Watson
played very steady on the back, except
for one hole, to shoot 52 as only 10 girls
shot better on the back.
Morgan Hampton took the 20thplace medal and won a scorecard playoff with four other girls that shot 111.
Hampton opened with a 57 on the front
that seems to be her “usual score.”
However, she was able to shoot a career
low of 54 on the back. “With this barrier
broken,” said Knaak. “Hampton can
start to lower her scores.”
Jaydin Doerr, playing in her first varsity match, had trouble getting off the
tee as she ended the team scoring with
184. Even though Doerr struggled on
the longer holes, she was able to play
the par threes well, and that kept her
going. “As Jaydin gets used to playing
other courses, she should see a marked
improvement in her game,” said Knaak.
Sarah Watson was unable to compete, as she became ill playing the front
nine. She was playing fairly well before
becoming ill, said Knaak. If Watson had
been able to finish, Plainview may have
been able to move up in the team standings.
The Lady Pirates will golf again this
Saturday, Sept. 22 at the Plainview Invitational at 9 a.m. and again on Monday, Sept. 22 in a triangular with
Crofton and Hartington Cedar Catholic,
also on the local course, beginning at
4:15 p.m.
Vs. Stanton
On Tuesday, Sept. 9, the Plainview
Lady Pirate girls golf team played in a
dual with Stanton.
Officially, it was a forfeit win, because Stanton could not field a full
team, however, Plainview would have
won anyway, as the team shot their lowest team score of the season, 232. Stanton had one girl shoot 55 and the other
two were at 70 and 71.
Stephanie Sorensen, getting back to
her home course and also improving her
short game, had her career low score of
42. A closing double bogie kept her
from finishing even lower, as she continues to improve her game, said Head
Coach Larry Knaak.
Morgan Hampton tied her career low
score of 57. “Morgan started out very
well, but the two par fives in the middle
gave her problems,” said Knaak.
“Hampton can use this experience to
even lower her score as she learns to get
better in her short game.”
Matti Watson continues to improve
with every outing, said Knaak, and she
has nicely filled the #3 spot in the lineup. Watson shot a 57 that tied her career
low. Watson started out with her first career par on Hole 1 to give her a lot of
enthusiasm for the rest of the round.
Heidi Nelson, having trouble getting
onto the green, said Knaak, was able to
get close with few strokes and ended the
team scoring with a 76. This also gave
her a career low.
Ashley Shaffer had her score of 80
not used. “Ashley has trouble getting to
the green,” said Knaak. “That keeps her
from scoring lower.” Shaffer is helping
out the team as she waits for the
younger players to develop.
Since Stanton did not have a reserve
squad to compete against, Plainview put
their reserves playing a full round anyway.
Sarah Watson shot 69 for a career
low. Watson’s high-light of the round
was that she only had one double-digit
hole, and that was a 10. Watson contin-
ues to move in and out of the varsity
line-up, said Knaak.
Jordyn Betts with a 74 as she plays
from the red tees instead of the golf
youth tees of last year. Betts will also be
considered for some varsity time.
Jaydin Doerr, playing her first full
round without modifying scoring, shot
an 81. With Doerr new to the game, she
needs experience to improve.
Sharyn Sheppard has problems getting to the green as her length off the tee
in the fairway is not the greatest. Sheppard is persistent in trying to improve,
said Knaak.
Natalie Lingenfelter had three “horrendous holes,” said Knaak, when she
reverted back to an old habit that she has
been working hard to change. Lingenfelter is also not long off the tee or fairway, so she must avoid any poor shots
to get to the green.

and Brett Arehart said “We have to
show more emotion during the
game. Football is a game of emotion
and we need to show more excitement when we play. Offensively, we
did some good things in the running
and passing game. Our running
backs ran hard. Defensively, the Pirates played well except for the kickoff coverage. That needs to get
cleaned up. We will continue to look
for improvement from players in all
areas of the game.”
Plainview received the opening
kickoff, and, after a first down,
Plainview had to punt. Laurel drove
the ball 35 yards for the opening
score. The point-after was successful and the score was Laurel 8,
Plainview 0.
After a nice 25-yard kickoff return by Jake Lingenfelter, the Pirates
first quarter ended.
Beginning the second quarter,
Plainview turned the ball over on
downs and punted to Laurel. The Pirates played an excellent defensive
series and forced Laurel to punt
back.
Jesse Foster put together two nice
runs for a first down. Connor Dahl,
after two short runs, scored from 45
yards out to make the score 8-6. The
point-after was no good.
After kicking off, Plainview
stopped the Laurel attack and forced
a punt. Jacob Hoffmann had a nice
10-yard run, followed by a 13-yard
Keaton Eichberger scamper, closing
the half with the Pirates down 8-6.
Laurel received the second half
kick off and scored on a 65-yard run
up the middle. The point-after failed,
making the score 14-6. After a nice
15-yard kickoff return from Foster,
Dahl scored from 40-yards out. A
Dahl to Eichberger pass for the
point-after tied the score up at 14.
Laurel scored on the ensuing kick
off, going 60 yards up the middle.
The point-after failed, leaving the
score 20-14 and Laurel the lead.
The Pirates received the kick off
and the offensive drive stalled, forcing a Pirate punt. Laurel took the
ball on the Pirate 38 and drove into
the end zone after a six-play drive.
After converting the point-after the
score was 28-14 in favor of Laurel.
Opening the final quarter, Eichberger ran the kick off back 25
yards. After a nice 25-yard run by
Dahl, Foster scored from 20 yards
out. The point-after failed and the
score was 28-20, Laurel. After stopping Laurel, the Pirate were unable
to get an offensive drive going, and
turned the ball back over to Laurel
on downs.
The clock ran out, and the final
score remained 28-20, Laurel.
The next game for the Pirate Junior High team will be on September
22 against Neligh-Oakdale on the
local field. The game time has been
moved from 5 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Farm economy starting to see cracks Drones may provide big lift to
Matt Olberding
Lincoln Journal Star
Low crop prices are putting a damper
on the farm economy, but two of the
state’s top economists say they don’t see
a long-term downturn in the making.
Corn futures recently dropped below
$3.50 a bushel, their lowest level in four
years. That means that despite what may
be a record crop, many farmers will
struggle to break even this year.
At the start of the year, the University
of Nebraska’s Bureau of Business Research predicted farm income in the state
would fall more than 7 percent this year
after several years of robust growth. In
July, however, the BBR revised the forecast down to a predicted drop of more
than 13 percent. The BBR is also predicting declines in 2015 and 2016 as
well.
That gels with experts who believe
the national ag economy is entering a
two- to three-year period of relatively
low profitability.
UNL economist Eric Thompson, who
heads the BBR, said there definitely has
been a “cooling off” of the ag economy
this year.
“I would present it as coming down
from record highs,” Thompson said.
“We’re still in a healthy ag environment.”
While the ag economy overall may
still be strong, there is at least one sector
that has been feeling the slowdown: the
farm equipment industry.
CNH Industrial America last month
announced plans to lay off 240 employees at its plant in Grand Island, which
makes combines and windrowers. A
spokeswoman said the decision was due
to a drop in demand.
The CNH announcement followed
announcements earlier in August by
John Deere of plans to lay off more than
1,000 workers, mostly in Iowa.
On Tuesday, Titan Machinery Inc., a
major seller of farm equipment in Nebraska and across the plains, reported a
$600,000 loss in its second quarter, compared with a profit of $3.8 million in the
same period last year.
“The Agriculture industry continues
to face a number of headwinds, including lower projected net farm income and
lower corn and soybean prices,” Titan
Chairman and CEO David Meyer said
in a news release. “This has impacted
farmers’ sentiment and resulted in lower
farmer spending for equipment as well
as more cautious spending on parts and
services.”
Creighton University economist
Ernie Goss said the low commodity
prices are one reason for the slowdown
in farm equipment sales. Another is the
fact that from 2009 through the middle
of last year, farmers went on an equipment “buying binge,” and that demand
has now dried up.
Those two factors have played a
major role in the Agriculture Equipment
Sales index from Goss’s Rural Mainstreet survey declining to its lowest level
ever in August.
Another factor that may be playing a
role is the 95 percent decline in the Section 179 tax deduction that applies to
business equipment. It dropped from
$500,000 in 2013 to $25,000 for 2014.
While the farm equipment industry
has clearly been hit hard, effects on other
parts of the farm economy are less clear.
Goss’s Rural Mainstreet Index overall
fell to its lowest level in two years in August, and the bankers interviewed for it
indicated they expect farmland prices to
fall nearly 5 percent over the next year.
Prices in Nebraska rose 9 percent last
year.
“Agriculture commodity prices have
plummeted for crop farmers in our region and are expected to move even
lower in the months ahead. This decline
has spilled over into the broader rural
economy according to our survey,” Goss
said at the time.
Thompson said there is some indication in the BBR’s reports and surveys
that the metro economies of Lincoln and
Omaha are performing better than the
non-metro economies.
However, the non-metro economies
remain strong, he said.
In addition, some parts of the farm
economy are doing better. For example,
the low commodity prices are lowering
expenses for ranchers, feeders and dairy
farmers, which should help boost their
profits, Thompson said.
Overall, neither Thompson nor Goss
sees long-term trouble ahead for agricultural producers in Nebraska.
Goss cited three factors that he said
will keep the U.S. and Nebraska ag
economy strong: growing global demand that will continue to increase food
demand, a weak dollar and a strong
ethanol industry.

When Steve Morris began building
unmanned aerial systems in the late
1990s, he envisioned flying them over
fields and collecting data that would be
useful to farmers.
But after the wars in Afghanistan and
Iraq, drones became largely associated
with military strikes and surveillance operations. Morris said the technology became the subject of contentious political
debates and public paranoia.
“The entire dream evaporated at that
point,” said Morris, founder and president of MLB Co. in Santa Clara, Calif.
“In an alternate universe where [drones]
rose to prominence through helping the
economy, creating businesses and jobs,
people would have a different view of
them.”
More than a decade later, attention is
refocusing on development of drones for
commercial purposes. Amazon.com
Inc., Google Inc. and Walt Disney Co.
are grabbing headlines with plans to develop drones for deliveries, mapping and
entertainment.
I think it’s going to change agriculture
as we know it in North America. It’s definitely going to allow producers to become much more efficient.- Scott

Livestock makes big tracks at Husker Harvest Days
Robert Pore
World-Herald News Service
GRAND ISLAND — Livestock, especially the cattle industry, is the cornerstone of Nebraska agriculture and is
becoming a big part of Husker Harvest
Days.
Located in the northwest corner of the
HHD complex, its presence has grown
not only with the number of exhibitors,
but also with shows for the public, such
as cattle handling and stock dog demonstrations.
Joe Jeffery, a Lexington veterinarian,
rancher and master of ceremonies at the
HHD cattle demos, is a longtime participant. Jeffery has been involved with the
cattle demonstrations for 26 years.
He said the cattle industry displays
have grown in recent years, in part, because of the good markets cattle producers are experiencing.
One of the chutes used in the cattlehandling demonstrations was grabbed
right off the assembly line, Jeffery said,
as demand for cattle-handling equipment is on the rise. Cattle producers are
beginning to rebuild their herds after the
2012 drought, when hay was selling for
more than $200 per ton and corn for
more than $7 per bushel.
Plentiful moisture has now brought
those prices down.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture
reported that the average August corn
price this year in Nebraska was $3.70
per bushel, down 50 cents from the previous month. The August alfalfa hay
price, at $112 per ton, was down $1. The
other hay price, at $87 per ton, was
down $10.
Despite the rain that plagued HHD
this year, Jeffery said cattle producers
are “smiling like crazy.”
“We remember, not that many years
ago, that things weren’t all that good,”
he said. “Now corn prices are down
where producers can afford to feed
them, and cattle prices are higher than
all get out.”
Jeffery said he was recently delighted
when he sold seven head of bull calves
for more than $10,000.
“I remember years when you would
take a calf into the sale barn and sell one
and they gave you the second one, and
you kept your trailer locked because,
when you went out, they were putting

cattle in your trailer,” he said. “Today,
they are worth their weight in gold.”
The nation’s cow herd is down to historic lows, though public beef demand
continues to be high despite the higher
cost for beef, Jeffery said.
“There are some feedlots where there
are no critters in them,” he said in reference to the low cattle numbers.
Cattle gestation takes about 273 days,
and then it’s another 18 to 22 months before that calf is ready for market. So, unlike chickens and hogs, it takes a while
to rebuild a cattle herd hit hard by
drought.
One of the vendors at HHD this year
was John Kearney, a district manager for
Behlen County, a farm and ranch equipment company based in Columbus.
Kearney, who has been coming to
HHD for 35 years, agreed that the livestock industry’s presence at the show has
grown because of higher cattle prices.
“Cattle are at a very good price now
and on an upward swing,” he said. “It is
like the corn market. It will go up, but
one of these days it will come back
down when everybody is stocked back
up.”
Like Jeffery, Kearney said the
drought had a huge impact across cattle
country. Despite the heavy rain this year
in Nebraska, drought is still a fact of life
in other parts of the nation.
For example, he said the cattle industry in California has some of its lowest
numbers in the last 30 years. Earlier this
year, Nebraska went ahead of Texas as
the nation’s largest cattle-feeding state as
a result of the lingering drought in Texas.
Another exhibitor at HHD this year
was the Nebraska Beef Council, which
is based in Kearney. Doug Straight, director of producer communications, said
cattle producers are not only rebuilding
their herds, but also in the market for
equipment.
“There is no doubt that our fat cattle
market is still pretty decent, and the
feeder markets as well,” Straight said.
As harvest time rolls around, the
USDA reported on Thursday that corn
production nationwide is forecast at 14.4
billion bushels, up 3 percent from both
the August forecast and 2013. Yields are
expected to average 171.7 bushels per
acre, up 4.3 bushels from the August
forecast and 12.9 bushels from 2013. If
realized, this will be the highest yield
and production on record for the United
States.
U.S. soybean production is forecast at
a record 3.91 billion bushels, up 3 percent from August and 19 percent from
last year. Yields are expected to average
a record high 46.6 bushels per acre, up
1.2 bushels from last month and 3.3
bushels from last year.
Strong corn and soybean production
will continue to put downward pressure
on those markets, and that will help livestock feeders.
“The livestock industry has always
been represented here,” said Straight,
who has been coming to HHD for 33
years. “But it has expanded over the last
several years.”
Representing the Gelbvieh breed association was Dick Helms, who also
raises Gelbvieh cattle at his Arapahoe
ranch, Flying H Genetics.
“It is sometimes easier for people to
view your cattle if you bring them to a
place where there are a lot of people,
such as the State Fair or Husker Harvest
Days,” said Helms, who has been attending HHD for more than 20 years.
“But at that time (20 years ago), there
wasn’t near as much cattle or cattle
equipment as there is now.”
When HHD officials dedicated the
northwest section to the livestock industry, he said, “it seemed to really grow
and blossom.”
Because of the good cattle market,
“there are more dollars in the system and
people can afford to do more things and
buy more equipment,” Helms said.
“There are a lot of activities here for
livestock people.”

drones.
The benefits of ag drones are promising for farmers growing largely commodity crops in the Midwest, but
Shearer said they may be even greater
for those cultivating high-value crops,
such as California’s wine grape growers.
Ryan Kunde, winemaker for DRNK
Wines near Sebastopol, has been testing
drones with the goal of one day using
them to help make decisions in the vineyard — where to harvest first, what
plants need more nutrients, which areas
need more water and which need less.
“Small increases in productivity
make a huge impact,” Kunde said. “It’s
farming smarter.”
Kunde began tinkering with drones in
2010, and eventually formed a company
to provide drone monitoring data to
grape growers for a fee. But until the
FAA approves commercial drone use,
that business is “kind of in a holding pattern,” he said.
“The market is there. We just don’t
have the guidelines to regulate it,”
Kunde said.
Drone advocates say wider use depends on the complex process of integrating unmanned aircraft into national
airspace, which will start to be outlined
in forthcoming FAA rules.
That integration was congressionally
mandated by September 2015, though a
recent Transportation Department audit
found that the FAA is likely to miss that
deadline. The FAA has said rules governing small drones under 55 pounds
that fly below 400 feet will be introduced later this year, but some industry
officials cautioned that they may not
take effect until 2016.
Very few commercial operators have
received FAA exemptions allowing
them to use drones in the U.S. Monrovia
drone maker AeroVironment Inc. this
year became the first to get approval for
commercial use of a drone over land for
its Puma AE UAS, which monitors BP
Exploration Inc.’s remote Prudhoe Bay
oil field in Alaska.
The company plans to offer crop
monitoring services for farmers,
AeroVironment spokesman Steven
Gitlin said, but FAA rules are holding it
back.
“We could deliver valuable information to farmers tomorrow, if the rules allowed it,” Gitlin said.
Some researchers at California’s public universities have received limited
federal approval to fly drones as part of
their research. Chen, the UC Merced
professor, is using drones to develop a
way to turn drone data into useful guidance that farmers can follow to boost
yields.
At UC Davis, professor Ken Giles
has approval to fly the 200-pound
Yamaha RMAX helicopter, which has
been used in Japan for more than two
decades as a nimble crop-duster. Part of
his research is collecting the data needed
to guide future regulations on the use of
such remote-controlled aerial sprayers in
the U.S.
Giles, who has a pilot’s license, said
that unlike many of the smaller drones,
which can be programmed to fly a certain path without human guidance, the
RMAX is not autonomous. That, plus its
limited payload capacity — it can fly for
about 15 minutes at full spray before
needing to be refilled — could slow its
adoption for U.S. agriculture.
But the technology, he said, has the
potential to deliver “a level of accountability and precision that we haven’t had
before.”

craft may come from what’s known as
precision agriculture — using high-tech
systems to help farmers increase yields
and cut costs.
In recent years, consumer-quality
drones that are cheaper and easier to fly
have become commonplace, but Federal
Aviation Administration rules have restricted their civilian use to recreation
and research in all but a few cases. That
has led Morris and others to market their
agricultural drones overseas, where regulations are not as strict.
Sunnyvale, Calif., technology company Trimble began offering agricultural
drones in January and is currently selling
them in foreign markets. Indiana-based
drone maker PrecisionHawk says it has
projects in Canada, South America and
Australia.
California farmers and technologists
from the Russian River Valley to Silicon
Valley say they are eager to put drones to
commercial use here at home.
Some, like YangQuan Chen, an engineering professor at UC Merced, envision a new “data drone valley” in the
state’s Central Valley, not far from the
tech giants and venture capitalists of the
Bay Area.
“I see a bright future. That’s the reason I started my lab in the Central Valley,” said Chen, who was doing research
with agriculture drones at Utah State
University before joining the UC
Merced faculty and starting the school’s
mechatronics lab in 2012.
The unmanned aerial systems can be
programmed to fly low over fields and
stream photos and videos to a ground
station, where the images can be stitched
together into maps or analyzed to gauge
crop health. They can also be modified
to land and take soil and water samples.
One day they could be used in the U.S.
as precision crop-dusters.
“The application of these data drones
is only limited by our imagination,”
Chen said.
Agriculture could be the proving
ground for commercial drone applications, partly because operating in rural
areas far from crowds, large airports and
tall buildings alleviates privacy and
safety concerns.
Many experts believe that drones
could revolutionize the industry.
“I think it’s going to change agriculture as we know it in North America,”
said Scott Shearer, a professor at Ohio
State University and an expert in precision agriculture. “It’s definitely going to
allow producers to become much more
efficient.”
Shearer said drones already can be
used to provide more timely crop data
and higher-resolution aerial imagery at
a fraction of the cost of using traditional
piloted aircraft or satellites.
“It’s a bit of a game changer,” Shearer
said.
A 2013 study by a drone trade group
estimated that future commercial drone
markets would be largely in agriculture,
with some in public safety such as law
enforcement, firefighting and emergency management.
The study, by the Assn. for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International,
projected that the economic effect of integrating drones into the national airspace would top $2.3 billion in
California in the first three years, more
than in any other state, leading to the creation of more than 12,000 jobs in this
state alone.
Some experts caution that the trade
group’s predictions may be too optimistic, but they acknowledge that there
is a huge opportunity for agricultural

School Lunch vs. Brown Bag
All across the country, students
hoped that the start of this school year
would bring back their old school
lunches. It didn’t happen. Students are
up in arms about the federally mandated changes to their lunches. Older
students have taken to posting online
pictures of what they’re given. Many
are claiming they won’t eat what’s
being served, or that the portions are
too small. Students who stay after
school for clubs or sports are left hungry at the end of the day, especially
the athletes.
They aren’t the only ones who are
unhappy.
Cafeteria managers have been
scrambling to prepare meals the students will actually eat instead of
throwing away most of the food.
They’re limited in the amount of meat
and grains that can be served in a
week (measured in ounces), and must
follow guidelines about specific calories by age group (as though all 7year-old students are identical). To hit
their targets, they’ve resorted to odd
pairings of food and have cut portion
sizes.
Parents are left wondering whether
they’ll forever be forced to pack
lunches for their kids. The answer is
... probably. Even that won’t solve the
whole problem: There have been reports of overzealous school staff inspecting brown bag lunches. In clear
overkill, some have taken away those
lunches and provided a school lunch
for the child.
There are, thankfully, some school
districts that are refusing to continue
limiting their lunch offerings to what
is now legal. They’re dropping out of
the program, giving up tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal funding to do so.
What’s a parent to do? First, if your
child is throwing away school lunch
food or is hungry again in two hours,
complain to your school district.
They’re likely already in the process
of deciding whether or not to stick
with the legal lunches.
Second, call the school and find out
the policy for the contents of a child’s
bag lunch. If anything you chose to
provide is OK, one battle is solved.
Get ready to pack lunches.
You know what your child will eat
and how much, what the pediatrician
says about your child’s health and
weight, and what current “food
phase” your child might be in.
Bottom line: A hungry child isn’t
going to learn. Send your child off
with a lunch you know he or she is
going to eat.

Event, You’re the Chef
Plainview FCCLA Officers Ashley Shaffer, Heidi Nelson, Natalie
Lingenfelter, Caiti Ziegenbein, and
Autumn Ickler along with Adivser
Ronita Jacobsen recently attended
the Nebraska Family, Career, and
Community Leaders of America
Fall Leadership Workshop.
This annual event was held this
year at University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s East Campus Student Union
and featured over 275 students from
the eastern half of Nebraska. This
event was held in partnership with
the Child, Youth and Family Studies department at UNL.
Students at this event heard from
members of the State Officer Team,
the State Peer Officer Team, and
other chapter leaders about state
and national programs, leadership
development, and chapter management. “The focus of this conference is really on preparing student
leaders for the year ahead and
equipping them with the skills necessary to have a successful year in
FCCLA,” said Nebraska FCCLA
State Adviser Allison Kreifels.
Students also had the opportunity
to take tours of different Family and
Consumer Sciences departments
and speak to the members of those
departments. Presentations from
Textiles, Merchandising, and Fashion Design, Marriage and Family
Therapy’s Family Resource Center,
Special Education and Communication Discovers, Hospitality, and Nutrition departments were well
received from students and advisers
alike. These tours gave students the
chance to learn about these fields,
the education offered at UNL, and
the careers available to them.
Another highlight for students
was hearing from speaker Dustin
Galyon. A Kansas native, Dustin
spoke on the importance of relationships and how to build authentic and meaningful relationships
with those around you. With humor
and heart Dustin shared the lessons
he has learned about relationships
and how those are the things that
truly impact the person you are and
will become.
As members of the chapter bring
this information and training home,
they are looking forward to implementing it in a variety of
ways. Members will use the training as they implement their program
of
work
which
includes organizing blood drives,
gathering toys for the Toys for Tots
program, food drive donations, and

Death claims Leo Risse In US
Navy – Thursday, May 18, 1917
Died from spinal meningitis Friday night
The sad intelligence reached here
Saturday morning of the death of
Leo R. Risse who recently joined
the US Navy. He was taken suddenly ill with spinal meningitis
about two weeks ago and died from
its effects Friday night at eleven
o’clock. The body was shipped
from Great Lakes, Illinois, to West
Point where internment took place
on Monday morning, where he was
buried alongside his father and
mother who had gone before.
Leo R. Risse was born in West
Point, Nebraska May 21st, 1898,
being almost 19 years of age at the
time of his death. Shortly after arriving at the training camp at Great
Lakes, Illinois, he was taken ill with
spinal meningitis and after a hard
struggle of two weeks death stepped
in and claimed its reward. The deceased leaves three brothers and
five sisters to mourn his death.
Leo Risse was a student of the
Plainview schools and was numbered among the graduates of ’17,
but when President Wilson issued
the declaration of war, he left
school to join the Navy and fight
for his country. He was a very
bright young student with many admiring qualities and was popular
and well-liked by everyone who
knew him. It is but a few weeks
since the great patriotic meeting
was held in the Plainview opera
house, in honor of the home boys
who were leaving to take up the
colors of our country, and Leo Risse
was among the boys seated on the
platform that night. All present realized what might be expected in
time of war and that the brave boys
before us might never return to our
city alive, but few anticipate death
to step in and claim one of them, as
the boys were all hale and hearty
and passed their physical examinations in fine shape and Leo the best
other community service events.
They will also be attending the
District 8 Leadership Conference
on October 22 at the Lifelong
Learning Center in Norfolk.

FFA, NTHS, FEA members have
volunteered to assist FCCLA in calling donors for the blood drive. Members also discussed who was to help

help with the loading and clean-up.
Names of those wanting FCCLA jackets were taken down with an order to
be placed yet this fall.

of all. This only goes to show how
uncertain life is “we are here today,
but cannot speak for the morrow.”
As soon as he was taken sick his
brother John, residing north of town
rushed to his bedside, where he remained until the end came. The taking away of this young life was
indeed a sad blow to the relatives
and friends of Plainview. The news
joins with the friends and sorrowing
relatives in extending heartfelt sympathy in their sad hour of great affliction.
