WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED Read by more than 5,000 readers weekly! 2 Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press . . . – The First Amendment Opinion The Plainview News Wednesday, April 20, 2016 “Where Do We Go From Here?” Babbling Brook The time is upon us Thick and thin, 20 years, some advances, some retreats, and yet, Plainview does it again. The new Plainview Public Library will be opening soon, where’s our local hype-man ready to make sure everyone fully appreciates this moment. The same type of excitement happened when the fire department got a long-overdue upgrade to their building, the addition of a new public library has more to offer than a new place to store books and introduce people to computers (among the 100s of other things to do.) It invests in our local community – to a point that people won’t fully understand for another 70 years. Plainview has always lagged a bit, not in the inception of ideas or the thoughts and progression of those ideas, but in the action part. We’re viewed as progressive – I’ve heard my contemporaries always discuss that. We’re at the forefront of discussion, but we’re typically one of the last to get things rolling and finished. We certainly aren’t the first to have a brand new library in our offerings to the community. We weren’t the first to have new pool. People have been replacing sewer systems for a long time around us. Communities have revitalized their downtown a clear 10 years before we attempted a few years ago. Even our water tower is now around 20 years old. Everything has its cycle – Plainview just happens to be on the outerlower circle of the that cycle, right before the rubber hits the pavement again, we make it out. I’m, at times, an “I told you so” type of guy – and I firmly believe that thinking positively and cleanly airing negativity, being harsh and open with criticism and discussing things thoroughly are the only ways to make sure that the right thing is being done. Two sides of an argument are necessary – not only for the determination of the “right” side, but also to make sure that you’re not missing out on any points that could affect the outcome. There’s really no point in discussing things if the only information given are “pros” or “cons” alone. Sometimes that’s a terrible process - it can ruin people’s ability to talk with one another. There’s always some part of us that determines if someone is on the “wrong” side of a conversation, it means they don’t support what’s going on or what decisions are being made. I found myself on that side of the Library conversation a few times, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t support it. Of all the people in Plainview, I like paper. I like books. I like reading. I don’t think our civilization can survive without the written word, literature in general and the historical preservation of our very society. I was just discussing this topic with someone a few days ago - in another 20 years, how many of us will be able to reproduce or even find our photos? We run the risk with digital photography of having an entire generation of pictoral history eliminated. Twenty years from now, there will be no flea markets with stacks of pictures. There will be no paper copies of pictures of “old Plainview” and there will be few and far between prints of baby pictures, graduation pictures and the like. We don’t have Harold Maucks any more storing up thousands of pictures to record history just for the sake of enjoying people. What we do have, however, is brand-spanking new library - good for all ages, and put together by a bunch of people devoting nigh and all 20 years of their lives to the betterment of Plainview. It adds not only a structure and a service, but it greatly increases the very value of our community, making it one step harder to lose, to move away from or to outlive and out-do. By: Michael Holton City Administrator Community building is a nonstop activity and it is hard to rest on your laurels after any one success. Plainview has many fingers into many pots and these are all part of concentrated efforts throughout the past few years. There is no time for rest. We have been a part of a new resurgence and growth in addressing many of the needs that Plainview has. Just during the past 15 years we have seen a tremendous amount of change in the community with several projects that were needed. The economy has hit the private sector pretty hard and we have lost businesses but we have also gained others. This is inevitable. The latest project that will come to fruition is the new Plainview Library. This project was a labor of love on the behalf of many citizens over the last fifteen years. On May 2nd, the new library will become a reality. The same can be said for the economic development of the community. It was during this period of time that we were able to guide and develop Husker Ag to locate their operation of ethanol production east of Plainview. There were a lot of people who put a lot of work into getting that business to come here. There were several surveys and needs assessments that were also put out to the community and a new economic development program for the city was one of the results of those surveys. The first item on the list of economic development projects was to work with a retailer like Family Dollar to get them to come to Plainview. After months of negotiations with the corporate office, Roger Synovec and I were able to secure the land and a store to come to the community. The economic arm of the city also reached out to help form the Pierce County Economic Development Corporation (PCEDC) with Osmond, Pierce and Hadar to work on a regional level and that included several cooperative efforts like Central Valley Ag (CVA) which located a base of operations in Pierce County on Highway #81 as well as several other businesses in all of the communities. Another effort that came out of the economic development efforts was the introduction of the LB840 plan which guides many of the latest efforts including Powerlift which is now in the old SiDump’r building. There is also the signage program which has helped existing businesses like Johnson Repair, Serendipity, Plainview Commodities, Northern Nebraska Insurance get new signage dollars to help increase their visibility. The school has also been active in several renovation efforts with the most recent being the new flooring in the old gym. Other changes in the community include the new parish hall for St. Paul’s Catholic Church, Mike McManaman’s building, Midwest Bank, Subway, CHI Home Health moving into downtown, a complete downtown historic renovation project, a new fire hall with the city and the rural fire department combining, twelve houses and buildings being torn down, new electronic sign next to the library, new swimming pool, renovated running track at the school, new scoreboards for the football fields, baseball fields, new residential homes, over a dozen existing homes rehabilitated through grants, new restaurant facilities in Serendipity and Baileyz, Casey’s expansion, new child care facility for Zion Lutheran that is open to the public, Jazzercise, new city offices in the old fire hall, new cell phone towers, technology center for the Plainview Telephone Company, all new fiber optic for the entire community, D&M Dairy, Madison County Bank, renovation of the Band Shell in the park, Senior Center renovation to become the Plainview Social Center, Frisbee golf course, announcer booth for the Legion Ball fields, expansion of the Klown Doll Museum, renovation of the Historical Museum, new signs donated and upgraded for the east and west entrances to the community, white picket fence on the Memorial Cemetery replacing the old wire fence, new flowering berm in Chilver’s Park, new building in the park for equipment needs, and others that I am sure I missed. To top this all off, we were also a site selection for the six-time academy award nominated movie “Nebraska.” So what is next? It appears that we are in line for a new restaurant, new playground equipment for the city parks, housing expansion, and new businesses wanting to come to our town. So, as you can see, there is no time for rest and all of us need to work towards the future of Plainview so that we can all be proud of the community we call home. Help with LB959 passes to slow Library increase in property taxes moving day By Seth Olson, Nebraska News Service LINCOLN—On the third to last day of the session Tuesday, April 12, senators wasted no time by working through multiple bills. While many bills passed, a bill to bring back Nebraska’s winner-takeall system distributing presidential electoral votes failed, after senators rejected a cloture motion on LB10. The bill, which would award all five electoral votes to the winner of the state’s popular vote, was introduced by Sen. Beau McCoy of Omaha. Currently, two Electoral College votes are awarded to the state’s popular vote winner while the state’s three congressional districts are each awarded one electoral vote. The cloture motion offered by McCoy to cease further debate on the bill and take an immediate vote failed, 32-17. It was only one vote short of the 33 required to take a vote on the bill. Other bills saw more success. LB960, introduced by Sen. Jim Smith of Papillion, passed on a 480 vote. It will create a $450 million transportation infrastructure bank to fund new roads and bridges, including the state’s expressway system. The money will first come in July from a one-time transfer of $50 mil- lion from the state’s cash reserve fund while the rest will be collected from state motor fuel tax from 2016 through 2033. LB959, introduced by Sen. Kate Sullivan of Cedar Rapids, passed 47-0 and is intended to slow the increase in property taxes. It adjusts the state’s school aid formula by eliminating the minimum levy adjustment at the end of the 2016-17 school fiscal year. It reduces state aid for schools with a levy below $0.95 per $100 valuation. It will limit the amount school districts across the state can levy to pay for projects relating to life safety, environmental hazards, accessibility barriers and mold in school buildings or school grounds. New projects will be funded under a three cent levy, which may not be used for construction projects. Another bill, LB1038, also passed with ease on a 48-0 vote. Introduced by Sen. Al Davis of Hyannis, the bill will allow water currently being used for generating hydropower to be used to maintain stream flow for fish, wildlife and recreation. A task force will be given $1 million a year to remove invasive plant species that reduce stream flows. Next Wednesday, April 20, is the final day of the Legislative session. ### Letters Welcome The Plainview News welcomes letters to the editor for publication.

Please be patient with us as we will have to close the old library to get settled into our beautiful new facility. Opening our new library would not have been possible without all of you, your donations and the dedication of many people in this community. Our librarian, Donna Christiansen, deserves a lot of thanks for all her behind-the-scenes work to help this new library become a reality.

There was a total of five strokes separating the top four teams with Creighton taking the championship with 336. West Holt and Randolph tried for second at 339. Stanton came in fourth with 341 despite having Brook Klinetobe as the gold medalist with a score of 73. Chase Largen with 75, Mason Hale with 76, and Andrew Schnoor with 78 were the top four medalists. Plainview had their low team score for the year with 398. Tyler Masat let the Pirates as he was one stroke out of medaling with a 92. Masat opened with a 45 that is his best round of the year. A lost ball kept him from a much lower score Masat played bogie golf with the exception of two holes on his back nine. Jake Lingenfelter got off to a rough start and never was in rhythm to open with a 51. This was Lingenfelter’s first time playing in the number one position. After two double bogies to start the back nine, Lingenfelter finished with 46. Alex Haase shot 50 on the front and then set a personal best 9-hole score of 47 on the back to give him a personal best of 97 for an 18-hole score. Haase continues to play better each time out. Kenny Hart ended the team scoring with a 112. Hart played good golf except for a stretch of 5 holes that accounted for 40 strokes of his total score. When Hart learns not to try to make up for a bad shot with a super shot he can avoid this type of a stretch. Nathan Choat’s score of 132 was not used. Choat is continuing to find a rhythm in his swing that he can trust. Jason Gutz, being released from rehab played his first competitive round of golf. Gutz shot a respective round on the front of 63. His back nine had four holes that were respectable but Gutz having never played 18 holes before tired out to finish at 76. “The Pirates continue to slowly improve and with a few exceptions, I was satisfied with the progress being made.

At Leigh, April 13 The Plainview golf team traveled to Leigh on April 13th for the Patriot Invite. Even though the Pirates finished eighth, there were several good things that happened. The Pirates were short-handed as Tyler Masat was unable to attend because of sickness. With Jake Lingenfelter having a front nine score of 38 to lead the field for the first round, the Pirates set a new low nine-hole team score of 210. Lingenfelter was helped by Alex Haase with a career low nine-hole score of 49 and Kenny Hart with 54. Nathan Choat struggled as the lack of playing time caught up to him as he had 69. On the back nine, Lingenfelter started out poorly and with a triple bogie shot 44. This allowed Lingenfelter to tie for third in the tournament. Haase continued his good play on the back nine as only a score of seven on a hole left him with a 50. Haase’s score of 99 gave him a personal best for a 9-hole and 18-hole score. Kenny Hart set a personal best nine-hole score on the back as he shot 52. This also set a career 18-hole score of 106. Nathan Choat continued to struggle on the back nine. Even though his score of 67 does not seem like it, he played much better as he ended his round. Triangular, April 12 Plainview hosted a triangular golf meet between Plainview, NiobraraVerdigre, and Clearwater-Orchard on Tuesday, April 12th. Although Ryan Wilhelm of Clearwater-Orchard was the medalist, Plainview won 222 as Clearwater-Orchard had 229 and Niobrara-Verdigre had 259. Tyler Masat with a second place finish of 50 led the Plainview team. Masat played fairly steady golf with the exception of two middle holes. Masat was able to shake off his frustration to end on a good note except for an out-of-bounds. Jake Lingenfelter started off his round 10 over after three holes but settled down to finish with 52. Kenny Hart was able to overcome a double-digit hole and shoot his low round of the year of 57. Hart is learning better course management on his way to improvement. Nathan Choat ended the team scoring with 63. Choat has been busy with many activities and has been unable to do a lot of practicing. Choat was able to shake off the rust after 3 holes and play some good golf. Alex Haase’s 66 was not used in the team scoring. Haase is another member of the team who has to learn to get a better start. Haase has done well despite the fact that he had never played much golf before. Since all teams had several beginners on their teams, a reserve meet was held. The reserves played from the gold tees. Niobrara-Verdigre won with 260. Clearwater-Orchard had 268 and Plainview did not have a full team for an overall score, though Wes Vaughn was silver medalist with a 63. Chris Camey of Niobrara-Verdigre was medalist with 53. Brady Scott with 77 and Troy Donner with 82 completed the scoring. Both Scott and Donner had missed three days of practice because of attending the FFA convention. All three of these are in their first competitive action and have had to learn many aspects of the action. Creighton Auto Inc.

The 120 slots were filled about as fast as Kathi could write down the names and count the money. The Golfers who are non-members outnumber the Members about 80 to 40. The Board could have done an economic study of supply and demand and really jacked the cost up to make some decent money instead of a paltry 10-12 percent. Eventually, the locals will learn if the Open is held, “They will come.” That has been true for the last 30 years anyway, but not forever. A little recap that is not “Gospel,” but should be pretty close: there is a documented Open in the 50s that hosted 136 golfers in one day which was an exception as most of the tourneys in the 60s and 70s had 100 or less. Just show up, sign up, and pay $15 and whack away. The membership was not full and a new member could buy a share on sale for $75. This continued until the late 80s when the membership was filled to the 300 allowed in the bylaws with share buyouts going for $300 or $500 and the Open filled up at the same time. So the line-ups on the morning of April 15th began with the interested parties showing up earlier and earlier each year. One year was notable in that a “Gentleman?” signed up 48 entries, which cause the Board to enact the rule that one man could only sign up two foursomes, which still stands today. About 2000, there might be 20 people waiting for hours, so a couple of Nuts made breakfast for a few years so the Guys could eat together, and tell golfing tales so the time would pass faster. Then, in 2005-2006 a big chance was taken by the Board to host a twoday Open. The Manager was a spunky young Pro named Toby Thompson, who was positive it wouldn’t fail, and he was right. The Open continues to fill each year, and as the golfing ability of the entries improve, the size of the Calcutta purse increases. An opinion as to the success of the Plainview Open in contrast to so many others in the State that have gone under: many Golfers like to play in a real golf tournament. A Golf Course that is fun to play, and is kept in excellent condition; volunteers who put in a few hours up to gobs of hours; decent pries to those who win and place in fights plus the Calcutta. Two weeks until the first Stag, and then real articles can be written instead of just blather.

The council approved four separate Keno grants to area local groups and their projects. The groups and grant amounts included the Plainview Ball Backers for $5,000.00, the Girl Scouts for $1,000.00, Plainview Area Rec Soccer for $2,000.00, and the Plainview Historical Society for $4,592.00. Each group applied for the grant with specific projects in mind when requesting funds. The Ball Backers will be upgrading the baseball fields, buying a windscreen for the Legion field, and purchasing picnic tables for the little league fields. The Historical Society will be purchasing and hiring a contractor to replace windows and frames. The Area Rec Soccer will be using the money to purchase a new painting machine to mark fields before games, as well as new paint, soccer balls, nets, and flags for practice and games. The Girl Scouts will be improving the Girl Scout building in the Band Shell park by installing new drywall, insulation, and paint so that it can be used year round. City Superintendent Report The new city superintendent, Rollie Cederburg, was present to report the status of the current C&D Site. He told council members that the current cell where garbage is being dumped has filled up faster than had been anticipated. To be able to continue to be able to provide service to members of the community, the city may need to dig a new cell site and close the current one to avoid an interruption to the city and others who use the facility. The City Clerk, Kelly Pendergast, also alerted council members to the fact that the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality requires cities to budget for a closure fund to make sure sites are closed according to state regulation. This fund is approximately $10,000 behind what the NDEQ requires. City Administrator, Mike Holton, said that these funds are budgeted for through the city’s general fund. He also noted that historically, the C&D site usually cost the city money to provide the service to the community. In recent years, however, the site has been bringing in revenue for the city. Council members discussed the possibility of raising rates slightly for non-local members that use the site to cover the additional costs to closing one site and opening a new one. In Other City Business - Heard that the new Plainview Library will be open on May 2. The official opening and ribbon cutting ceremony will be June 4th. -Approval for a Special Liquor License for the Library Foundation for June 4th. A wine tasting event is being planned for the official opening to allow people to see the new building. - The council went into closed executive session to discuss a raise for the City Administrator, Mike Holton. After coming out of closed session, the council tabled the issue for the next meeting. - The council approved a payment to A&R Construction for $38,823.05, which also included a change order for the street improvement project for an additional $8,032.56. The council also approved payments to RaDec Construction for $101,290.64 and to the Nebraska Department of Economic Development for $975.00. - The City approved the hiring of three employees recommended by the Park Board. The employees, Dylan Moore, Blake Christiansen, and Jaden Wingert, will maintain the park area for the upcoming summer months. - The council approved a fee for the use of the use of Community Hall for events and large gatherings. The fee will be $50, which includes the deposit and a $25.00 non-refundable fee.

Risinger family donates new grave stones as memorials It took 115 years before the descendants of the Emmira Jane (Beggs) and Leonard Abraham Risinger family gathered together at the Chadron cemetery to place memorial flowers on the new grave stones that the family recently donated. Several years ago it came to the attention that there were no grave markers. This past summer, new grave markers were placed. A group of 19 people gathered together for a weekend in Chadron to pay tribute to their long-forgotten relatives. The youngest, Martha Olive Risinger, was only seven years old when she passed away in 1901. Florence Edith Risinger was almost 21 when she was buried in Chadron in 1911.

The family had a great weekend of playing cards and enjoying the company “A System That Cares” By Governor Pete Ricketts April 12, 2016 Providing services and a safety net for the most vulnerable among us is one of the core duties of state government. This is an expression of the pro-life values that underpin our way of life. From our foster care system to behavioral health services, the state deeply invests in the physical, social, and emotional well-being of thousands of Nebraskans every year. The primary agency that provides services for the most vulnerable Nebraskans is the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). It is no secret that the agency has faced some challenges in the past. Under fresh transformational leadership, however, the department has found a new direction. Last year for the first time, our foster care system met all six federal standards. Earlier this year, DHHS announced the creation of a new integrated Medicaid managed care program, which will coordinate physical health, behavioral health, and pharmacy programs to simplify access for clients. Last month, call wait times at our ACCESSNebraska economic assistance call centers fell to a new low of 1 minute and 3 seconds, down from a high of almost 24 minutes in August 2014. The good news from DHHS keeps building. This past week, DHHS and I announced the creation of a new behavioral health System of Care for children. This new program will integrate behavioral health services by connecting and coordinating the work of state child-serving agencies, nonprofits, local government organizations, behavioral health care providers, families, and patient advocates. The strategic plan that will serve as the basis for the System of Care included the feedback of over 1000 stakeholders. Behavioral health services are an important part of how we care for our most vulnerable citizens.

Located in Breslau, Neb. halfway between Plainview and Osmond on Hwy. 20 children in Nebraska experience behavioral health disorders. Additionally, about 16,000 Nebraska adolescents ages 12-17 had at least one major depressive episode in 2014, according to the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. There is no question it can be confusing and oftentimes challenging for families to access behavioral health services for their children in Nebraska. Old approaches to delivering services have been marked by fragmented service delivery and high rates of out-of-community placements. With the new System of Care, DHHS and its partners will deliver services in a more effective and customer-oriented manner. This new delivery method will eliminate the need for families to navigate multiple systems to find services to meet the needs of their children. Over the next year, DHHS will be laying the groundwork for the System of Care. The agency will implement a phased work plan, build a database of all behavioral health funding sources, and develop a plan to inform partners, families, and stakeholders about the System of Care goals, common principles, and new infrastructure. As with many of our initiatives, we will be measuring results to track progress in the System of Care. Within three to five years, DHHS expects to see increases in school attendance, school performance, and the percent of youth and young adults living in home settings. Additionally, they expect to see a decrease in the average age of first contact with our behavioral health system and the cost per youth receiving services. This is just the beginning. I look forward to sharing more news about the System of Care as DHHS implements it in the coming years. If you have experience or feedback on our mental health services provided by the state, I hope that you will contact my office at 402-471-2244 or [email protected]. Your stories help provide insights from the frontline on how services are delivered and inspiration as DHHS continues to improve how they help Nebraskans build better lives. We look forward to hearing from you!

The milk bonds in the cracks and somehow seals it right up.” — B.I. in Virginia * After each use, clean a grill with aluminum foil. Simply wad up a piece of foil, and use it as a scrubber to remove stuck-on foods. If you’re starting out with a dirty grill, you can still scrub with foil, and give the foil wad a spritz with cooking spray to oil the grate before cooking. (Never spray a lighted grill directly with cooking spray.) * “Kids counting down until the end of school? Make a handy paper chain that doubles as a countdown calendar. Write the date and the number of school days left in the year on each link in a paper chain. Then hang it somewhere close at hand. Each day, your child can remove a link to see the days till summer vacation shrink.” — O.P. in Ohio * “Here’s a tip to find your car in a large parking lot. Take a photo of your vehicle with a landmark in the background. This can be an entryway or a store, or you maybe the sign that shows the section and floor of the parking garage.” — A.L. in Texas * A hanging toiletry bag makes a great backseat catch-all in the car on road trips — especially for kids. Look for one that includes a hook so it can be hung from the front-seat headrest. Snacks, small notebooks and a box of crayons or a portable gaming device and extra games can be stored securely and neatly, then gathered up easily to bring with you to rest stops, diners and motels. If you’re traveling solo, just hang it in the passenger seat to keep your essentials organized and at hand! (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc. 1. The Boss (R) Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Bell 2.

Q: I was a big fan of Davy Crockett during the 1950s and even had a coonskin cap. I managed to save my Davy Crockett lunchbox, and it is in fairly decent shape. How much could I sell it for? — Carl, Tulsa, Oklahoma A: In 1954, Walt Disney produced the Davy Crockett show and it became an immediate hit. The “Ballad of Davy Crockett” shot to the top of the charts, and almost every kid in the country pestered his parents for a coonskin cap. Crockett was portrayed by Fess Parker. Two lunchboxes were produced, one for the American market and the other for Canada. Your American lunchbox is valued in the $125-$800 range depending, of course, on condition. The value was found in the “Official Guide to Disney Collectibles” by Ted Hake and published by House of Collectibles. *** Q: I have a GAR badge that was used during an encampment in Indiana in about 1890. What was the GAR, and is my badge valuable? — Bill, Shreveport, Louisiana A: The Grand Army of the Republic was formed immediately following the Civil War “to provide aid and assistance to the widows and orphans of the fallen Union dead and to care for the hospitalized veterans as needed.” The first encampment was staged in Indianapolis in November 1866. The organization was disbanded in 1949 when the last comrade of the GAR died. Your badge is probably valued in the $25-$50 range. *** Q: I have a Singer sewing machine that is the Model 15-30. It is in an oak cabinet that has been damaged by dampness. A neighbor has offered me $600 for it. Should I sell? — Bill, Indianapolis, Ind. A: Take the money and run. According to several dealers I consulted, your machine is probably worth about $300, and perhaps even less with the cabinet damage you described. *** Q: I have a letter that was signed by Harriet Beecher Stowe in 1885. I have been offered $1,200 for it, but I think it might be worth more. — Lillian, Hastings, Neb. A: A standard letter signed by Harriet Beecher Stowe should sell in the $200 to $500 range.

(Kristo for Husted/Harvest Public Media) Midwest farmers advocate for TPP free trade deal Harvest Public Media Apr. 17, 2016 Turn on the TV and you can barely escape it: presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle deriding free trade agreements, like the pending Trans-Pacific Partnership. The TPP is a bum deal that will hurt the U.S. economy and especially low-wage workers, according to pols from Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton. But if you venture into the Midwest and ask a farmer about the TPP, you’re likely to get a different answer. “This pending TPP trade negotiation, to me, is hugely important for agricultural commodities, but specifically for beef,” said Mike John, a cattle rancher in Huntsville, Mo. John, along with many Midwest farmers and ranchers are bucking the political trend to dog the TPP. A coalition of more than 200 hundred agriculture groups recently drafted an open letter urging congressional leaders to approve the deal, saying the trade deal will help U.S. farmers stay competitive in an increasingly crowded world market. Free trade agreements remove tariffs on products we import, but also on food grown here that we export to other markets. That opens the door to get more beef, soybeans and rice into other countries at more competitive prices. John says the TPP could ultimately put money in farmers’ pockets by giving them more customers in Asian countries with a taste for American beef. “The Asian markets are showing a huge increase in demand for beef,” he said. “In particular, the grain-fed U.S. beef is highly prized in places where that beef demand is growing.” The 11 countries along the Pacific Rim that are parties in the TPP already take in more than 40 percent of American agricultural exports. That’s worth a whopping $63 billion, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The department says the TPP could be worth an additional $3 billion to U.S. farmers. Many beef producers, like Mike John, want to see the TPP ratified because it is designed to cut tariffs in countries such as Japan that historically have been highly protective of their domestic markets. “So it’s not necessarily that we need to get into those markets, we just need to have fair access so that we can compete with the other global suppliers of beef,” John said. Indeed, agricultural policy analyst Julian Binfield at the University of Missouri said not sealing the deal could leave U.S. farmers at a global disadvantage. “If TPP is not signed, then some other countries might write their own agreement,” he said. “Maybe it’s part- See us for all your grain and feed needs!

When you grow . . .We grow! ners in the TPP like Australia and New Zealand – they’re writing bilateral agreements all the time. Maybe they get expansion.” That could actually mean less access overall for U.S. producers. The other issue casting a long shadow over TPP negotiations: China. China is not a part of the trade deal. But pro-TPP interests say agreements like this one prevent China from setting global trade rules in its own interest. “In terms of the U.S.’s overall strategic position, I think that China is a massive power that they probably want to make sure they impose their own (rules on) or have some say in their own rules and don’t let China dictate too much,” Binfield said. All of this is not to say that all farmers are campaigning for the TPP. Despite their current advocacy for the trade deal, none of the country’s largest agriculture trade groups call the TPP an unmitigated victory. The National Farmers Union actively opposes the deal. The organization of mostly smaller farmers contends that the agreement would hurt the broader economy, which could spell trouble for farmers. “It’s not that we’re opposed to trade. It’s not that we don’t want more agricultural trade,” said Roger Johnson, president of the National Farmers Union. “We absolutely do want more agricultural trade.” Johnson said he’s worried that free trade deals make it more likely that big companies will move jobs overseas. That can hurt the U.S. market for food and, in turn, hurt farmers that depend on off-farm income. He’s worried we import more than we export and feed the ballooning trade deficit. “It it grows, if it gets worse as a result of this agreement just like it has as a result of earlier agreements, then what have we gained? We just haven’t made a meaningful step forward,” he said. President Obama championed the TPP and set his sights on getting the deal approved before he leaves office. For that to happen, Congress will have to approve it, but neither the Senate nor the House have set a date for review. On a cold windy morning, Kelly Nissen feeds the cows at the Iowa State University Beef Nutrition Farm north of Ames. Far from just tossing hay, he weighs out specific rations and carefully delivers them to numbered feed bunks. “When you’re feeding, you’re always double-checking yourself to make sure it’s going in the right lot,” Nissen says. These cows munch on the common mix of hay, corn and distiller’s grain, but they’re often getting a little something new, too. They test different formulas that researchers in the animal science department at Iowa State develop. Among the goals, across livestock species, is to find ways farmers can lower their use of antibiotics that are important for human health. The antibiotics that clear up infections and keep us healthy are becoming less effective because as they are used, some squirrelly bacteria develop resistance. Those pesky ones easily share their adaption, which can infect unsuspecting humans and leave doctors struggling to cure so-called drug resistant bacteria. Scientists say giving the drugs to farm animals is part of the problem, which is why researchers are looking into new ways to keep livestock healthy and profitable, especially the animals that become our pork chops, chicken tenders and steak. “There are alternatives to antibiotics in feed,” says Stephanie Hansen, one of those Iowa State professors. “And that’s going to be a broad area of research here in the next 10 to 15 years.” You may be surprised to hear that researchers are turning to something you can probably find in your fridge: 402 W. Locust -- Plainview 402-582-7878 USDA Apr 18, 2016 There is $4.7 million available in grants for food safety education, training and technical assistance projects that address the needs of owners and operators of small to mid-sized farms, beginning farmers, socially-disadvantaged farmers, small processors, small fresh fruit and vegetable merchant wholesalers, food hubs, farmers’ markets, and others. The grants, offered through the Food Safety Outreach Program and administered by USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), are designed to help these stakeholders comply with new food safety guidelines established by the Food and Drug Administration under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). “As growing demand for local food creates new economic opportunities for small farms, beginning farmers, and others, we are committed to ensuring that all types of farmers and Northern Nebraska United Mutual Insurance Company FARM/HOME INSURANCE www.madisoncountybank.com Fast Friendly Service Phone 402-582-3385 800-279-4588 Plainview, NE SEE . . .

In fiscal year 2016, the Food Safety Outreach Program at NIFA will build upon this established national infrastructure by focusing on the delivery of customized training for owners and operators of small farms, food processors, small fruit and vegetable wholesalers, food hubs, farmers’ markets, terminal markets, and farms that lack access to food safety training and other educational opportunities. This year, NIFA will fund three types of projects to help producers comply with FSMA. Pilot projects will support the development and implementation of new and potentially high-risk, high-impact food safety education and outreach programs in local communities that address the needs of small, specialized audiences from among the various target groups. Community outreach projects will focus on the growth and expansion of already-existing food safety education and outreach programs that are currently offered in local communities. Multistate Education and training projects will support the development and implementation of multi-county, state-wide, or multi-state food safety education and outreach programs where there are common food safety concerns, but the states are not necessarily located within the same regions. A webinar for potential applicants is 2:30-3:30 p.m. EST April 19. Applications are due June 2. See the request for applications on the NIFA website for more information. J.E.

He says some large chicken producers are interested in it because it helps the birds gain weight with less feed, a benefit they used to get from antibiotics. Penaloza says his probiotic could be a good replacement. “We cannot say that probiotics is the silver bullet to completely eliminate antibiotics,” Penaloza says. ”But I am sure that they can help a lot.” Just like many people, animals might be even healthier with some changes to their diets. And as human nutrition explores new possibilities, the animal researchers will be paying attention. There’s plenty of overlap. “There are essential oils. There are enzymes that could be supplemented,” Hansen says. “There could be a possibility that trace minerals and vitamins could play positive roles.” Moving beyond antibiotics on the farm will be a gradual process, but it’s getting a little inspiration from our diet trends. 4.7 million in grants available for food safety training Auto, Boat, Motorcycle and AAA MADISON COUNTY BANK healthy bacteria. Ever read the ingredients on a cup of creamy Chobani? A good yogurt will contain several live bacteria, which can help you stay healthy by keeping your gut happy. No one’s going to feed pigs, chickens or cows Yoplait. Some researchers, though, think a bacterium commonly found in your lunchbox, Lactobacillus acidophilus, may be help keep animals healthy and lead to less dependence on drugs important for human health. “Acidophilus would have the same impact in a production livestock animal as it would in humans,” Hansen says. “Maybe it’s able to outcompete a bad bacteria for attachment in the gastrointestinal tract in the intestine, so that would be a good thing.” In essence, beneficial bacteria can crowd out the bad ones, preventing them from making you, or a cow, sick. If they protect the animals from infection, farmers will need fewer antibiotics. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s data suggest nearly half of chickens and about 40 percent of pigs may get antibiotics when they’re not even sick, though overall use has declined in recent years. The more farmers reduce antibiotic use on the farm, the less likely bacteria are to adapt and become resistant to our medicines. It’s a short path from use in the barn to preserving effectiveness in the hospital. Last year, the Obama Administration announced a plan aimed at cutting down reliance on these medicines. With veterinarians and livestock producers both now looking for other ways to bring healthy animals to market size, nutrition companies are paying attention. Iowa-based Diamond V has developed a pig feed supplement made from Lactobacillus acidophilus. Jason Frank says they got the idea from work on human nutrition.

ROACH: A year ago, my internist prescribed Evista for mild osteopenia, but my gynecologist said she would not have put me on medication yet. Two of my friends also have osteopenia, but they have not been prescribed medication. I stopped taking Evista last month, because of my fear of developing blood clots. What is your view on this? — N.S. ANSWER: Osteopenia simply means “too little bone,” and it is a risk factor for developing osteoporosis. Most experts would treat osteopenia by ensuring that you are getting adequate calcium and vitamin D, and seeing that there are no other causes for your osteopenia, such as low thyroid level or medications that can lower bone density, such as cortisone. Although there may be reasons to treat osteopenia before osteoporosis develops, medicines like raloxifene (Evista) are reserved for the more serious condition of bone loss, osteoporosis. Raloxifine does decrease the risk of fractures. Raloxifene has risks: It increases the risk of blood clots by about 1 person per thousand over five years. However, it decreases the risk of breast cancer. Thus, raloxifene is a poor choice for someone with an increased risk of clots, but a very reasonable choice for women who need treatment for osteoporosis and also have an increased risk for breast cancer. The Plainview Pirate junior high track team hosted a quadrangular with Elgin Public/Pope John, Bloomfield and Elkhorn Valley on the local track and field on April 4, taking secondplace in both the boys and girls contests. The Lady Pirates took secondplace with a team score of 49.33 points trailing only Elkhorn Valley, and the Pirate boys did the same with 36 points, tying for second with Elgin Public/Pope John.
