The Plainview Chamber of Commerce, Madison County Bank, CHI
Health Plainview, the Plainview
Manor and Whispering Pines Assisted Living and the Plainview
Difference Makers Youth Group
helped to assemble more than 70
gifts for the Toys for Tots program,
towels and quilted lap blankets and
care packages for nearly 200 other
residents, youth and families in
Plainview.
Organizers said that they felt this
was an exceptional year for this
benevolence project in Plainview.
From the people that take names to
the volunteers to help assemble and
distribute, every part of Plainview
continues to pitch in year after year
to help make the project a success.
Organizers also said that there
are rarely dry eyes when deliveries
are made – to youth or adults – and
that living in a small town affords
residents benefits that they could
not get in larger communities.
Care packages were assembled and delivered with the assistance of the Plainview Difference Makers Youth Group.

The dead horse
Let’s just say, my arms are itching for a few more swings.
This week the Board of Education from Bloomfield has made some
headlines of its own with a very long, very interesting letter defending the
5-School Merger and offering some “answers” (finally) to previously unconfirmed “facts.”
Thought it was written under the premise of promoting the “investigation” of the 5-School Merger - they seem to have a lot of very confident responses to those of us (myself included) in this “misinformed
vocal minority.”
My questions aren’t so much for that Board – everyone is entitled to
their opinion.
My questions are for the local, Plainview Board.
Let’s start with an easy one.
Excuse me?
How many times have I published, been told, been yelled at, been chastised for “stretching the facts” or making things up to suit my “agenda.”
Well as a part of the newly-created and dubbed “Misinformed Vocal
Minority” (as the Bloomfield board so pointedly insulted hundreds of
constituents with) – I’m here to tell you, I’m tired of being misinformed
myself.
At the last Board meeting, I was just informed that the location of the
new school suggested in the feasibility study and the attorney packet (that
the Boards all paid for) is not the factual location, not even in a ballpark
analysis.
I’ve also been told on numerous occasions by our local board that, A.
No tax savings have ever been promised; and B. No educational advancements will come to our children, only new opportunity.
Yet, here we are, trotting along on this dead horse, with Bloomfield’s
entire Board of Education now not only taking a stand on these items
(also listed in the feasibility study and the attorney packet, mind you),
but defending them with such vigor that one cannot help but know its
propaganda (which they are entitled to, for the time being.)
In fact, two of the newspapers in the district refused to publish the
propaganda without payment because of how one-sided and obviously
promotional it is.
I find it odd that our Board is directly in opposition to nearly everything listed in this Bloomfield letter. If the people “investigating” can’t
seem to agree, it’s no wonder the public is still “misinformed.”
T-Shirts go on sale this week. Free “dead horse” beating club for the
holidays included.
I look forward to the new boards and the new year, maybe someone
will buy a new horse.
By the by – anytime, any place, any setting – I would love to actually
debate these issues. If people think one side or the other can make concrete statements about either side, they’d better think again.
YOUR VIEW
America’s renewable fuel production has more than tripled since the bipartisan Renewable Fuel Standard
(RFS) went into effect in 2005. Since
that time, U.S. dependence on foreign
oil has dipped to its lowest level in
more than 25 years and we’ve created
a homegrown energy industry that
supports more than 850,000 workers
and has revitalized rural communities
in Nebraska and our nation.
Nebraska is the nation’s second
largest ethanol producer.
Yet the EPA in its infinite wisdom
has recommended that we cut back on
the amount of renewable fuel in our
nation’s fuel supply. Thanks to the
outcry of some 200,000 farmers and
ethanol proponents nationwide—including over 6,000 from Nebraska
alone—EPA has deferred its recommendation until some time in 2015.
The growth of renewable fuels is
about providing all of us with choices
at the pump. Our nation needs a diverse portfolio of fuels. Ethanol is a
proven fuel that lowers fuel costs, improves air quality, and generates jobs
and revenue. What’s not to like about
that?
Ethanol is a huge success story for
Nebraska and the nation. Let’s not
allow EPA to rewrite the Congressional legislation that the American
people worked so hard to put in place.
Stay tuned for more opportunities to
have your voice heard as EPA brings
this back to the table in the coming
year.

“Christmas in Plainview”
Mike Holton
City Administrator
When I lived in Denver I used to take
advantage of what the area offered in
terms of Christmas.
I would take the
family to the zoo to
experience
the
lights that they
would put up. We
often would see
what was playing
at the IMAX theatres to enjoy the
showing.
My wife and I
would take the
children to the Planetarium to see the
Christmas star and what it represented.
We took the family to watch the Denver
Nuggets during the holidays as well.
One of the children referred to them as
the chicken nuggets.
Friends came out and we also went to
a Denver Bronco football game. It
snowed that day. It was an amazing
time. My wife and I also lived in Miami
for Christmas one year (BC or before
children) and our enjoyment on Christ-
Patrons of the 5 school Districts,
With so much controversy and negative discussion over the possibility of a 5
school merger, the Bloomfield school
board felt it was necessary to better explain our united support of this endeavor.
Over the past 20 years there have been
feasibility studies made and discussed
and then set aside. This is the first time
the study actually has progressed to
where it is now. In the past, we never had
clear answers to our questions or concerns and never followed through with
these studies. We are on the verge of allowing this to happen again. In the past,
we spent money to obtain “what if” scenarios, usually a 1-2 school merger,
never really getting the opinion of the
public. This time, we have provided the
public with the information and have allowed them to provide feedback, however, we are allowing a misinformed,
vocal minority to control this discussion
and it is time that we, as a board, give
our input as to why we are in support of
such measures.
As representatives for Bloomfield
Community Schools, we are driven to
provide each student the best educational opportunity. Since all of our board
members graduated from Bloomfield
we know firsthand that our students are
not getting the diversity of education that
we received going through this same
district. It is not a change in our teachers
or students, but rather a change in opportunities and resources. We have been
unable to offer several classes because
of our limited resources. For our district,
this has included drafting, woodworking, accounting and business. Yes, some
of the 5 school districts are able to provide these courses for their students, but
they have had to cut other offerings to
do so. We see that our students are
stretched very thin in order to offer the
programs we do have. Almost all of
them have to participate or the program
would not exist. Our teachers are
stretched thin as well. Several of them
have 5-6 prep classes to prepare for besides all of the “extra” responsibilities
they are assigned.
With the merger of the 5 schools, we
would be able to utilize the strengths of
each of the 5 districts while still keeping
the current staff. Through this process
we would have the opportunity to create
stronger teachers because they will be
able to specialize, making them experts
in their field of biology, algebra I, composition, etc. They will teach and prepare for classes on the same subject and
information. This will create more time
for these teachers to offer specialized
programs in each of their fields, such as
FFA, FCCLA, Science Clubs, Math
Clubs, CNA classes and others specific
to their field. By offering several sections of the same class, our students are
able to explore more than one interest
because of scheduling flexibility, something we are unable to offer our students
at this time. Northeast Community College was asked to join in on our subcommittee meetings. They have
provided us with so much insight into
the curriculum that is required of students planning to attend college, not just
2 year colleges like them. They have no
financial benefit to our discussions and
their ultimate goal has been to provide
us support and needed information as we
explore the many opportunities for our
children.
Along with the merger would come
the opportunity for a state of the art educational facility for our students in
grades 7-12. The school would be located in a neutral location as close to
equidistant from each of the communities as possible. No one community
would have an advantage over the other.
Each community would maintain its
own pre-school through 6th grade. The
argument has been made that merging
the schools will not provide any financial relief. Of the 5 districts involved in
this potential merger, our school has the
lowest tax levy at $0.62 and the least
likely to see any financial benefit from
the merger. Again, our focus is on providing the best educational opportunities
for our children.
We have all heard that once you lose
your school, you lose your community.
Businesses are concerned that this spells
disaster for them. There are no plans to
build a town near the school. People are
still going to need a bank, gas, groceries,
pharmaceuticals and maintenance items
that they will continue to purchase in
their respective towns. That will not
change. Communities are not disappearing because of the school, they are
disappearing because of housing, job
opportunities, daycare, workforce issues, shopping out of town, etc. The
merged district would be able to provide
educational opportunities and job training specific for our communities to keep
our students here, in our communities,
to make them thrive.
We have also heard that the school
will be too big, that our children will not
have playing time in sports and that our
town kids will have to drive. Student
numbers to date would place us as a
Class B school but enrollments have
constantly been declining. Most of the
schools in the district at one time were a
Class C1 or C2 school with excellent education provided to the alumni. In a
school this size, you were still provided
personal teacher attention, knew all your
classmates on a personal level and had
many more opportunities than is provided today. Some say that they would
be fine with a 2 school merger, but looking at student enrollment projections, it
will only be a matter of time before another merger will be required and another change needed for our children
and communities. As for sports, what is
so wrong with our kids working hard to
make the team instead of it just being
given to them because of low numbers?
Kids will still have playing opportunities, as there would be freshman, sophomore, JV and varsity games. Students
will be able to explore sports that they
have never been exposed to such as soccer, archery, swimming or tennis. Every
child will have the opportunity to find
their niche in life and be successful. As
for the driving, unfortunately, there is no
way around it. Many of us survived
driving 8-15 miles to school every day

nament), I felt like Clark Griswold each
winter waiting for my $2,000 to $3,000
bonus check. When I worked for the
Frontier (as in the Casinos) we would receive exorbitant bonuses.
Even with all of that, something was
missing.
I recall the first time that we saw the
holiday lighting in Plainview and Chilver’s Park and how much our children
enjoyed it. Meeting with Santa in Plainview gave more back in the spirit of
Christmas that any other place we had
ever lived. Church provided stability
and everything fell in place.
Grandchildren now put the holidays
in another light as nothing is more special than that. While I miss my father
and mother very much as they are deceased, I know that they would have
been happy on carrying on their happiness with this seasonal event.
While we may all want to get out of
town and go shopping in Omaha, Sioux
City, Minneapolis, Lincoln, Norfolk,
etc., it seems right to come back home to
Plainview. That is what the legacy of
this community should always be for all
of us and that is a place to call home.

here, “Nebraska”, the key to the entire
story line was the main character getting
to go home to make an impression and
remember both the good and the bad.
So from our family to yours we wish
all of you a very Merry Christmas and
most importantly a Happy New Year!
I hope that all of you get to enjoy this
holiday season with your family, wherever that may take you!

and so will our children.
The process for this merger to take
place is a lengthy one that involves
major preparation. We feel as a board
that we are taking all the correct steps to
make such a merger successful. We are
in no hurry and the earliest such a
merger could happen is 2-3 years. We
need to continue to collect all necessary
information before we close the door on
this opportunity. We have a luxury in
each of these districts that we do not
NEED to do anything in the next two
years, we have time to do our due diligence and make the best decision for our
students. Change is difficult, no matter
what the situation is, and this is no different. We must place our selfish beliefs
aside and focus on our children. That
means that the pride of our school colors
and mascots cannot be dividing us. Getting 5 districts to compromise may seem
impossible, but not unreachable. As for
our district, our patrons have been very
open minded. Yes, we have those that
are not sold on the idea, but they are
willing to listen to others opinions. We
challenge the other community patrons
to do the same and continue to plunge
forward for the betterment of our students and communities.

mas Day was to go to the beach and lay
out.
Yet, there was something missing in
the beauty of the holiday that simply
could not be replaced and that was extended family. In Miami, Chris and I
could not get into the spirit with Palm
Trees decorated with holiday lighting.
Santa Claus dressed in a speedo couldn’t quite get the holiday spirit going either.
We wanted to go home. While Denver and the mountains were beautiful
and certainly more Christmas-like it still
was missing family. Any other holiday
was acceptable but not Christmas. It
wasn’t until we moved to Plainview that
we started to discover what the true
meaning of Christmas was.
During this holiday season there will
be many who do not have family around
them and it should be our goal as a community to reach out and be there for
them as friends and a Plainview family.
Christmas parties are in full swing and
instead of lamenting of being forced to
go to them, we need to find the joy in the
giving nature of the holidays.

Sixth graders at Zion Lutheran share
their favorite Christmas memory
My Christmas Memory……
My Christmas memory is from
when I went to my grandparents’
house. We drove for about half of
an hour all the while going up and
down the hills. After we arrive we
opened our presents. Then we ate
lunch. We ate peanut butter and
jelly sandwich, potatoes, apples,
ham, and cookies. It was great!
After lunch we went sledding and
made a snowman. We played outside for about an hour and then we
went inside and talked and watched
T.V. Then we played with our new
toys and talked some more. We ate
supper, it was the same as what we
ate for lunch. We said our goodbyes and got in the car to leave. We
went home and then we went to
sleep.
Crystal Hintz
Last year on Christmas Eve my
whole family was gathering at my
house. It was our turn to host
Christmas. As I was waiting I got
more and more impatient. I was
missing my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Once they all arrived at our house I was super
excited. We all sat down and talked
for a little while and then it was
time to open presents. The kids all
started to open presents while the
adults were taking pictures. I usually help hand out the presents because I think that is fun also. After
we got done opening presents we all
started to talk a little bit more.
Then it was time to clean up the
wrapping paper. I have a little dog
names Molly and she had the bows
all over her. After that it was times
to eat. We made ham, mashed potatoes, peas, corn, gravy and stuffing. We started to clean up and then
it was time for everyone to leave
again. It is always so much fun to
be together at Christmas.
Hailee Horst
When I was little I asked Santa
for a horse. On Christmas day I got
an electronic horse. I named her
Buttercup and I played with her a
lot. The box that she came in was
fun to play with too. I made forts
and castles and even hid in it while
my brother and I play hid in it while
my brother and I play hide and go
seek. Every Christmas we go to my
grandma’s house. We always get
there early and then we wait for my
other aunts, uncles, and cousins to
get there. When everyone is there
we talk and eat food. After we get
done eating we get to open presents.
After that’s done we play wit our
presents while the parents talk
about stuff. Then people start packing up their presents that they got
for Christmas. We all help grandma
clean up and put all the food away.
Then we go home and take our
presents into the house and then we
get ready and go to bed.
Brooklyn Kumm
Christians find comfort in
the message of Christmas
There is a fun little song many
like to sing at Christmas time: “You
better watch out, you better not
pout...Santa Claus is coming to
town...He knows if you’ve been bad
or good, so be good for goodness
sake.” How many of us have used
that song at this time of year to
warn our children that bad behavior
is going to cost them?
There is a different and more
comforting message that Christians
proclaim at Christmas and through-
out the year: “For unto you a Savior is born who is Christ the
Lord.”(Luke 2:11) What does Jesus
come to save us from? Sin, eternal
death, and the devil. God knows if
you have been bad or good, and He
doesn’t send you the gift of a Savior
only if you are good. There is a difference between rewards and gifts.
A reward is earned. A gift is given.
Jesus didn’t come to keep people in
line. That sweet little baby didn’t
grow up to be a harsh judge. He
grew up to be the Savior who suffered and died on the cross to give
you forgiveness and eternal life.
This gift cost you nothing, but it
cost Jesus everything.
The members of Trinity Lutheran
Church in Foster and I pray that you
have a Merry Christmas and a
blessed new year!

Land application certification Drought
coming to Nebraska in January information
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension workshops at nine extension offices across the state in January and
February will provide livestock and
crop farmers with information on how
to turn manure nutrients into better crop
yields while protecting the environment.
Re-certification will be during the
first two hours of the day-long Land
Application Training. Dates, times and
locations include:
Jan. 26 – 9 a.m., 128 N. Sixth St.
Suite 100 (Extension Office), O’Neill
Jan. 27 – 9 a.m., 4502 Avenue I
(Boardroom at the Extension Center),
Scottsbluff
Jan. 27 – 9 a.m., 250 S. Eighth Ave.
(Courtroom), Burwell
Jan. 29 – 9 a.m., 2345 Nebraska Ave.
(Extension Office), York
Jan. 29 – 9 a.m., 200 S Lincoln St.
(Courthouse), West Point
Feb. 3 – 9 a.m., 210 E. 23rd St. (Pinnacle Bank Meeting Room), Columbus
Feb. 4 – 9 a.m., 1002 Plum Creek
Parkway (Extension Office), Lexington
Feb. 5 – 9 a.m., 412 N. State St. (Library Meeting Room), Osmond
Livestock producers with livestock
waste control facility permits received
or renewed since April 1998 must be
certified. A farm must complete an approved training every five years, and
farm personnel responsible for land application of manure are also encouraged to attend.
The workshops will help livestock
producers put to use the nutrient management planning requirements of Nebraska’s Department of Environmental
Quality regulations and increase the
economic value of manure, said Leslie
Johnson, UNL AMM coordinator. Participants who attend the day-long event
will receive NDEQ Land Application
Training Certification.
This in-depth, one-day class targets
newly permitted livestock operations.
Operations that have already attended
this initial training, but will need re-certification, may attend the morning portion of the training.
Attendance during the morning of
one of the Land Application Training
workshops will fulfill NDEQ requirements for re-certification of producers
who have completed the initial land application training five or more years
ago.
This portion of the workshops will
consist of a two-hour program includ-
ing updates on changing regulations
and other manure management topics,
such as protecting herd health with
biosecurity, pathogens found in manure
and the manure value calculator spreadsheet that was released in 2012. Farm
staff responsible for implementing the
farm’s nutrient plan are also encouraged to attend.
Pre-registration is required for all
workshops. A fee per operation (includes one representative) will be
charged for the day-long Land Application Training workshops plus a fee
for each additional participant to cover
local costs including lunch.
The Land Application Training Recertification portion of the workshop is
charged per each participant.
These workshops are sponsored by
the UNL Extension AMM Team which
is dedicated to helping livestock and
crop producers better utilize our states
manure resources for agronomic and
environmental benefits.
For additional information on these
workshops and other resources for
managing manure nutrients, visit

“Innovation Never Felt So Good”
available
Angela Hensel
Nebraska News Service
LINCOLN—Located at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the National
Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) is a
national and international leader in
drought-related information.
Founded in 1995 and led today by Director Michael Hayes, the mission of the
NDMC is to help people at all levels
prepare and manage for drought in a
proactive way.
“The National Drought Mitigation
Center actually works with everybody
from an individual producer up to national and international governments.
We work with the United Nations quite
a bit, the World Meteorological Organization, which is a UN Organization,”
Hayes said. “What we try to do is deliver drought-related information to
these stakeholders.”
Mark Svoboda, Climate-Based Monitoring Program Area Leader for the
NDMC, develops a number of information systems on drought to help people
realize just how important and widespread an issue drought can be.
“One of our main jobs is to communicate science in a way that’s digestible
for policy-makers and for the public,”
Svoboda said. “A lot of what we do is
framed around that and in fact we do
pride ourselves in working a lot with
working folks on the ground and at all
scales. We have a pretty large global
footprint when it comes to dealing with
drought issues, because this is an issue
that is very much global, and not just
isolated here in Nebraska of course.”
One of the main information systems
Svoboda works on is the U.S. and North
American Drought Monitor, which is
put together in collaboration with 11
other authors to assess current drought
conditions.
Some of the other information systems provided by the NDMC include
the Drought Impact Reporter, the
Drought Risk Atlas and the Standardized
Precipitation Index. All of these systems
provide a variety of drought-related data
such as vegetation stress, precipitation,
soil moisture and temperature to help
people better understand drought in their
local area.
“All these tools are there for them to
use to make a better informed decision
and hopefully reduce their impact from
drought because we can’t stop drought
from happening, but what we hope to do
is reduce the risk or impacts of drought
on your operation,” Svoboda said.
Reducing this risk is critical to help
people avoid detrimental impacts from
drought, like what the U.S. saw during
the Dust Bowl years.
“Many people don’t think we can
have or experience a situation like we
had in the 1930s, the Dust Bowl years in
the United States. But if you look at past
records and available data, the 1930s
drought is actually not that unusual of an
event,” Hayes said. “So trying to get
people to understand that concept and
hopefully that allows them to think
about being better prepared for an event
like that.”
“It’s one of the most, if not the most
costly hazards in the U.S., it’s right up
there with hurricanes, those two pretty
much stand tall over all other hazards
combined,” Svoboda said. “And if you
think about it makes sense because
drought has a very large spatial footprint
and can last for a very long time.”
By educating and informing people
about drought, the work of the NDMC is
critical for the future especially for a
state like Nebraska, where agriculture is
so important and can be quickly impacted by drought.

Christmas Edition
Plainview Public’s sixth graders retell their favorite Christmas memory
MY CHRISTMAS MEMORY
When I was little, I had one memory I can remember well. Actually I
have many I can remember well.
However this one is very special because it’s about Christmas. It took
place when I was between four and
five. It all started on Christmas morning.
My mom woke me up and since I
was little I was (at that moment) focused on sleeping. Well she kept shaking me and eventually woke me up. I
usually slept upstairs, but then I was
in my parents’ room. I walked half
awake, half drowsy. That’s when I
saw the presents.
There was the Christmas tree and
my brothers and sisters. I saw a rocking horse and a pile of presents for
me. I got a ball that you sit on and
bounce. The rocking horse was realistic and fuzzy. I spent that Christmas
with my family.
Colton Choat
MY CHRISMAS MEMORY
We would be watching my brother
open his presents. All he would do
was stare at the wrapped present. My
dad finally ripped a piece my brother
started ripping it off. When he was
finished they got all of his toys out the
box. He only played with the boxes
instead of his toys.
My other Christmas memory
would be when my mom got me an art
kit. It came with all kinds of things
like purple paint, black, blue, yellow,
all kinds of colors. It had a regular
eraser and an eraser that could be
taken apart and put back together. I
had seven paint-brushes and about ten
colored pencils.
Zeisha Brown
MY CHRISTMAS MEMORY
Last year at Christmas, I had a
blast. When my family and I went to
my mom’s side of the family, we said
“Hello,” and “Merry Christmas, ”of
course. Just to let you know, Anderson, is my moms maiden name. After
that, my cousins and I messed around
for a bit. My Mom has two brothers,
Doug and Brian. They both have kids.
Doug’s kids are Stephany, Alyssa, Jalynn, Trenton, Nick, and Nate. Nate is
in college already so he didn’t have
Christmas last year. Anyway, Brian’s
kids are Trent, Tyler, and Lilie. All of
us played card games and have fun.
My favorite part about “The Anderson Family Christmas,” is spending the night, spending time with
everyone, opening presents, and be-
Season’s Greetings from
Curtiss Law Office
fore we open presents, we read a section from the Bible. After that, we all
see what we got. Then we played
more games and messed around a bit
more. The Anderson Family card
game, as we call it, is our favorite
game to play. The card game is called
“Scat.” Another game that we play is
“Texas Rummie” and that is fun too.
There are only a couple of sad things
about that Christmas: when I loose the
card game, and when I notice we only
have about two more days of vacation.
Allie Dahl
MY CHRISTMAS MEMORY
This story is about a Christmas
memory. This is about when the
power went out. It was horrible when
the power went out. It was on Christmas day. This is where the story begins.
On Christmas we were opening
presents. My mom and dad were
video taping it. Of course it was cut
short. This happened because the
power went out. My mom and dad
were mad. Most of it was recorded.
The other part wasn’t included. I can’t
quite remember all of it. That was a
very bizarre Christmas. I hope it doesn’t happen again this year.
Keagan Mosel
MY CHRISTMAS MEMORY
Have you ever had a fun Christmas? I know I have. It was very fun
for all of us. We had gotten a 20 feet
high snowdrift! I had also got some
cool gifts. I was only 7 when this had
happened.
My gifts were very cool. We had all
received inner tubes. We filled them
up as fast as we could. I was with
Caleb, Matthew, Lezlee, Jake, and
Cynthia. At first, we told our mom we
were going to go outside. She just said
“ok”. When she came outside she just
said, “WOW”
I had also got some other gifts. I
had gotten a coat, and farm toys. They
were all John Deere. We had also had
a Christmas dinner. We had chicken,
mash potatoes, and so much more. We
all had a very good time.
Cody Gamble
MY CHRISTMAS MEMORY
One year we went to Columbus,
Ne. This is our family tradition. My
grandparents live up there, but we do
no go there for every holiday. My
aunt, uncle, and other family members go there to visit us. I like spending time with them.
I am going to tell you what I got for
Christmas. My favorite gift I got was
an airsoft gun. It came in a big box,
with a pistol and a machine. They
work great but they are not powerful
enough to kill an animal. Also, I ran
out of bullets for the guns. That’s what
I got for Christmas.
Alizae Mejia
MY CHRISTMAS MEMORY
Every Christmas, we go to our
grandparent’s house. We eat supper at
their house on Christmas Eve. We
usually have turkey, roast, or ham to
eat. We also have many salads and
deserts. We all bring a kind food.
Then, we just enjoy the food and talk.
After we eat, we go into the living
room. We have to sort all of the presents. After we sort all of them, we
open them! We always have a great
time. That is my family tradition.
Emily Fischer
MY CHRISTMAS MEMORY
My favorite Christmas memory is
when my family got the Wii. Before
we opened any presents, we had to go
somewhere. We had to go to church.
We had an hour plus of singing and
learning about God. Then we came
home put on our pajamas and opened
presents.
So we got home and Tait and I were
really happy. We got to open presents.
We opened our presents and got the
usual. We got toys, cloths, and all that
good stuff. Then there was one present left, and we didn’t know what it
was.
My brother and I opened it at the
same time. We opened it. Our Mom
told us and we were so excited. It was
a Wii. My brothers and I have played
it ever since we got it.
Teagan Ziems
MY CHRISTMAS MEMORY
One day I woke up to see presents
under the tree and my family gathered
around the fireplace. It is always sit
around in your PJ’s all day. I got a ton
of presents this year. One of my favorites was my own snow blower. My
family got an inner tube to pull behind
the snowmobile.
Then outside we saw a car come on
the road. It stopped in front of a 10foot snowdrift. The car backed up to
the intersection to see a taller snowdrift. The car started to back up then it
came flying by. Then WAM!!! There
was a big cloud of snow. When the
snow settled we saw the rear end of a
car sticking out of the snowdrift. We

took a day for the county to get the car
out.
Jaxson Hoffman
MY CHRISTMAS MEMORY
It was a cold day when the temperature was twenty degrees. Everyone
was in a field by our grandparents’
house. We had two four-wheelers with
four inner tubes, two snowboards, and
a lot of rope. That spells nothing but
fun for our family. Everyone was having a ton of fun.
We tied the inner tubes to the fourwheelers. Everyone was pulled
around on the inner tubes. Then someone had a great idea. They said we
should put two inner tubes on one
four-wheeler. I then wanted to try
something new. I wanted to be pulled
on my snowboard. Then two hours
later we went inside to eat.

sugar cookies and decorate them, and
make globs. Globs are these funkyshaped chocolate things that has
peanut butter in them. My favorite
part is decorating the house and the
cookies. Oh also eating the cookies.
I’m usually the one that rolls out the
cookie dough and rolls it into a ball.
That is one of my favorite things to do
at my grandma’s house for Christmas.
Next we go to my dad’s mom’s
house. We usually have dinner there.
The fun thing is that my family from
another part of Nebraska, Kansas, and
Kentucky comes. Basically, everybody brings gifts and by the end it’s a
really big pile of things. It’s called
grab bag game, some might be toys,
funny things, or tools. The last house
we go to is my house. It’s my favorite
house because waking up early in the
morning and watching the Christmas
special of Paw Patrol is awesome.
Also drinking hot cocoa and opening
gift is the best part.

Zion third and fourth graders spread
Christmas cheer through poems
Third and fourth-graders in Jessica
Sauser’s classes at Zion Lutheran
School (currently taught by Janyce
Warneke) contributed Christmas
poems this year.
3rd Grade poems
Jordynn Frahm
O beautiful tree!
O beautiful tree!
Those presents are for me.
O lovely tree!
O lovely tree
Those presents are for my family.
O beautiful tree!
O beautiful tree!
I will end my poetry.
Marque Albin
Spread Christmas cheer for all to
hear,
With cookies and milk to drink,
With lights and candy canes to
make it bright,
With the Wise Men who came at
night,
Who followed the bright shining
star,
Who traveled to Bethlehem from
their land so far,
They traveled all night without a
fight,
They traveled all year with no fear.
Paige Norris
Jesus was born on Christmas Day,
He was born to make us not pay.
He loves us all, that is true.
He cares for us, both me and you.
He was born long ago, but a lot of
people still know.
When you go shopping, think of
this, He is the best in bliss.
Jesus is the best gift of all, but you
can’t buy Him at the mall.
4th Grade Poems
Abby White
Christmas presents, big and red,
I rush away from my bed.
Keep on your jams,
Let’s eat Christmas hams.
Christmas presents, yellow and
small,
Look what I got, it’s a ball!
Let’s run down the hall
Because it’s not fall.
Christmas presents, green and
square,
She got a stuffed bear.
Fix your hair, it’s Christmas morn,
Jesus Christ has been born!
Brett Norris
This is my Christmas poem,
It’s about what we do for Christmas
at home.
We wake up early in the morn
‘Cause Christmas is about Jesus
being born.
We open our presents for lots of
fun.
Jesus died for everyone.
We come and drink cocoa,
Because God is the greatest, you
know, you know.
Then I go to church, which is fun,
When the pastor says He’s Number
1!
I love the Lord Jesus with all my
heart,
He’s better than a gift from a store
like WalMart!
Marlena Curtiss
The house is all quiet on Christmas
morn,
The children are waiting to get a
sneak peak of the floor.
The cat is sleeping,
The parents are watching their children play,
On the Christmas Day!
The rooms are filled with holly
When Christmas gifts are opened
with joy!
The family is happy when they go
to hear
The Christmas cheer!
Kerry Forbes
Christmas is here
Have a Christmas cheer!
Jesus laid in a manger,
Jesus will make no danger.
Jesus was born that Christmas
night,
Jesus is here, you do not need to
fight,
It will show a lot,
I will go to church.
Jesus died for you and me,
When you go to heaven you will
see.
Jesus is the best,
Jesus will be my guest.
Scott Hintz
Jesus came to save all,
Big and small.
From sin and misery,
He came on Christmas.
But the story’s not a mystery,
It is not history.
The story is still being told today,
Yeah, we all say because we can
pray!
Tessa Childress
The Wise Man came from afar,
Following that great big star.
The donkey that carried Mary then
Felt like it was carrying ten men.
The Wise Men traveling way afar,
Coming to see the King.
This present is far better
Than a beautiful golden ring!
Zion second-graders tell their
plans for the day after Christmas
Second-graders at Zion Lutheran
School, in Krista Masat’s class,
wrote about what they would do on
the day after Christmas.
On the day after Christmas, I will
play with my new toys. I am going
to be happy!

What I am going to do after
Christmas is sleep in. Then I am
going to play with my new toys.
Next I am going to another Christmas. Then open more presents and
play with more new presents.
We will have a big meal together.
I will play with my cousins Aubrey,
Tate, and KK.
Then I will go to my Grandpa
Tom’s Christmas and open more
presents. Then play with my new
toys. After that I will spend time
with my family.
Brooke Forbes
We are going to play with our
toys after Christmas and eat food
and dessert. We will take our
Christmas tree down and take it up
the stairs in the attic.

t’s not unusual to hear stories of how the Lord changed
someone’s life for the better.
Some stories are dramatic; some less so.
Either way, they’ll tell you that life is better because of
God’s love.
Really listen to people’s stories this week in church.

What’s good for small towns
is good for Nebraska.
The Rural Futures Institute at the University of Nebraska has
awarded two dozen grants in the past two years to research
how to grow and revitalize small towns. Already, we’ve made
an impact on 70 communities statewide. That’s good news
for small towns. And for all Nebraskans.

Derick Mosel had a big game,
posting 20 points to lead the Pirate
offensive strike. Colin Wright assisted very closely with 16 additional. Christian Zuhlke had seven
points, Turner Dahl marked six and
Nic Jensen and Alex Haase rounded
out the scoring with three points and
two points respectively.
The Pirates will travel after the
break to the Randolph Holiday
Tournament with a game against
Randolph’s Cardinals at 6:30 p.m.
on Dec. 29.
In the team’s game against L-CC, the Pirates could not obtain the

by six in the third quarter, and finally by three more in the fourth to
win the game over the Pirates 64-42.
Turner Dahl led all Pirate scorers
with 21 points. Colin Wright and
Alex Haase both marked six, Christian Zuhlke had three and Derick

note on Saturday, Dec. 20.

Nicole White had four and Jordyn
Anderson had two.
White led the team with five rebounds and three assists and Nikki

“Our defense was very good all
night,” said Coach Steve White. “We

our press, and we shot the ball well in
the half court. We are now 4-2 going
into the holidays and I think everybody is excited about the Christmas
break.”
The Lady Pirates will play again at
the Randolph Holiday Tournament
that starts on Monday, Dec. 29 in

Vs. Osmond
On Saturday, Dec. 13, the Lady Pirates got back on the winning track,
defeating Osmond’s Lady Tigers on
the road, 53-16.

two periods.
Brittany Waldow led the team,
with 14 points, Nicole White had 13
points, Alicia Jensen had 10 points,
Nikki Mosel had eight points, Caitlyn
Hart had six points and Caiti Ziegenbein had two points.
Jensen, White and Waldow all had
eight rebounds to lead the team. Waldow had a team high seven steals,
and White and Jensen each posted
five.
“Our defense caused Osmond a lot
of problems, and led to a lot of
layups,” said Coach Steve White.
“Our half-court offensive is still a
work in progress. We need to be more
consistent and read the defense a little better. Overall, I thought the girls
gave a great effort and the win was a
great win.”
Vs. EP/PJ
The Plainview Lady Pirates basketball team lost to Elgin Public/Pope
John last Friday evening, Dec. 12 on
the home court, 43-36.
Elgin jumped out to a 20-10 lead at
the end of the first quarter. The Lady
Pirates cut the lead to two points and
trailed 26-24 at the half. But the
Wolfpack managed 20 free throws in
the second half and pulled away late
in the game.
Brittany Waldow led the Lady Pirates with 12 points. Nicole White
had 11 points, Alicia Jensen had six
points, Caitlyn Hart had four points
and Caiti Ziegenbein had three
points.
White led the Lady Pirates with
eight rebounds and Jensen had seven
rebounds.
Coach Steve White said that “Elgin
shot the lights out in the first quarter,
then we switched to man-to-man defense and held them to 23 points in
the last three quarters. But, offensively, we had way too many unforced turnovers and missed way too
many easy shots. Defensively we
fouled them way too much and they
shot 20 free throws in the last 10 minutes of the game.”

Senator Ben Sasse gets
committee assignments
By Joseph Morton
/ World-Herald Bureau
The Omaha World-Herald
From farm policy to homeland security, from food stamps to Wall
Street, Sen.-elect Ben Sasse, R-Neb.,
knows what he’ll be working on after
he’s sworn in next month.
Sasse announced his committee assignments Monday: the Agriculture,
Nutrition and Forestry Committee;
the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee; and the
Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs
Committee.
Sasse is succeeding Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., who previously served
as secretary of agriculture under President George W. Bush.
Johanns was a member of the Agriculture Committee during his six
years as a senator.
“I am especially grateful that Nebraska’s farmers and ranchers will retain their seat on the Agriculture
Committee and look forward to promoting fiscally responsible policy and
protecting the next generation of agriculture,” Sasse said.
Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., announced that she’s keeping her committee assignments: the Armed
Services Committee; the Commerce,
Science and Transportation Committee; the Environment and Public
Works Committee; and the Small
Business and Entrepreneurship Committee.
As a member of the commerce
panel, Fischer said, she’ll continue
working to improve telecommunications access across the country and
modernize regulations hampering the
growth of the technology sector.
China said to signal lifting ban
on imports of GMO corn variety
By Bloomberg News
China’s government has told
traders and officials that the Ministry
of Agriculture approved lifting a ban
on imports of a genetically-modified
corn variety that’s commonly grown
in the U.S., as trade talks between the
two countries begin today, said people familiar with the matter.
The approval covers imports of the
MIR 162 corn variety developed by
Syngenta AG (SYT), according to
people who were notified verbally by
officials at the ministry. They asked
not to be identified because information hasn’t been made public.
“The move, if it materializes, will
be a boost for China’s imports of U.S.
corn,” said Li Qiang, managing director and founder of Shanghai JC Intelligence Co., an agriculture industry
consultant. It would also be “a sign
confirming the improving relationship
between the two countries,” he said.
The easing of curbs on U.S. corn
exports to its largest market for food
and agricultural products comes as
China’s government, the world’s
most-populous country and the
biggest consumer of rice, soybeans
and wheat, pushes forward with a
campaign to gain public acceptance of
genetically modified organisms and
seeks to expand food supplies.
China’s corn imports will fall to a
four-year low of 2 million tons in the
year through September 2015, according to forecasts by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They could
double to 4 million tons if the import
ban is lifted, according to Li at Shanghai JC Intelligence.
The country has rejected over 1.2
million tons of U.S. corn cargoes
since last year because they contain
MIR 162, according to an estimate by
the consultant.
Disrupted Shipments
Shipments to China of U.S. corn
and corn-derived feed ingredients
known as dried distillers grain have
been disrupted as more than 10 percent of the U.S. crop comes from
seeds containing the gene, making it
difficult to guarantee any cargo is free
of the trait, according to Meng Jinhui,
an analyst at Cofco Futures Co., unit
of state-owned Cofco Corp., the country’s largest grain trader.
The Ministry of Agriculture didn’t
immediately respond to a faxed request for comment. Calls to the U.S.
Embassy in Beijing weren’t answered. Agricultural quarantine and
inspection is one of the priorities at
the U.S.-China Joint Commission on
Commerce and Trade that starts today
in Chicago, Shen Danyang,
spokesman at the Ministry of Commerce, said today in a press briefing.
Corn futures have fallen 3.9 percent this year on the Chicago Board
of Trade, trading at $4.055 a bushel by
12:17 p.m. London time. On the
Dalian Commodity Exchange, the
contract for May delivery closed at
2,394 yuan a ton ($9.84 a bushel), up
about 2.4 percent this year.

Ibach to lead
Nebraska
Department of Ag
Recently, Governor-elect Pete
Ricketts announced during his remarks at the Nebraska Farm Bureau
Foundation for Agriculture Annual
Dinner that Greg Ibach would lead
the Nebraska Department of Agriculture.
Greg Ibach of Sumner has served
as director of the Nebraska Department of Agriculture since 2005. He
and his family continue to maintain
a cow/calf and grain operation in
the area. Ibach also serves as the
vice president of the National Association of State Departments of
Agriculture.
Ibach formerly served as Deputy
Director of the Nebraska Department of Agriculture for over six
years. Prior to his service with the
department, Ibach worked for Farm
Credit Services. He also has served
in leadership within the Nebraska
Beef Council, Nebraska Farm Bureau and the National Cattlemen’s
Beef Association. In 2006, he was
selected as a member of the Agriculture Builders of Nebraska and in
2007, he was elected to the Nebraska Hall of Agricultural
Achievement.
“Greg’s ag background and
tested leadership in the department
will help build on the successes of
the past decade,” said Ricketts. “I
will work closely with Greg to implement my plan to grow agriculture here in Nebraska.”
Fish farming finds its way to Midwest
Margery A Beck
Associated Press
The latest of five generations who
have worked the same ground in
northeastern Nebraska, 52-year-old
Scott Garwood, isn’t growing corn or
cattle — it’s fish.
Specifically, thousands of an Australian freshwater species called barramundi — often dubbed Asian sea
bass because of its similar sweet,
white flaky flesh — in large tanks inside a warehouse.
With global consumption of
seafood outpacing wild fish populations, many have turned from roving
the world’s waters to aquaculture,
using coastal net pens or ponds to
raise freshwater and saltwater species.
But the emerging trend of indoor
aquaculture is bringing the surf to
America’s turf.
Farmers are increasingly embracing the practice as a way to stay in
agriculture and participate in what’s
billed as “green” food production,
with virtually no chance of their fish
spreading disease or genetic mutation
into the wild. And such tank systems
can be placed almost anywhere —
from Minnesota to Florida — because
temperature and water quality can
be controlled.
Moreover, there’s a market for
these land-grown fish. The U.S. imports more than 90 percent of the 4.5
billion pounds of seafood it consumes
a year.
Globally, aquaculture supplies
more than 50 percent of all seafood
produced for human consumption, but
only a fraction comes from the United
States, according to the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries. Even less is known
about how much the U.S. produces in

Conserving grass trumps maximizing beef production at Gary and
Sue Price’s 77 Ranch near Blooming
Grove, Texas. Their conservative
practices give their operation the resilience needed to sustain a stable
number of cattle – even in drought
years.
Improved grass and soil health result, too, from their work. In recognition of their efforts, they were
named the 2012 recipients of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association
Environmental Stewardship national
award.
The Prices run 200 commercial
beef cows and manage 1,900 acres
of rangeland that is primarily native
tallgrass prairie. Some of the pastures are allocated to fall grazing for
calves since the Prices precondition
calves on grass for 40 to 60 days
after weaning in the fall.
“We could run more cattle, but
we’d feel a negative impact that
would go along with that,” says
Gary Price. “We’re not looking at
maximum production; rather, we
aim for optimal long-term sustainability.”
Such sustainability involves having enough standing grass in any
given year to carry the herd through
unexpected dry weather. In the severe drought of 2011, for instance,
they had enough standing forage to
sustain the cattle without having to
buy hay or feed.
Because maintaining abundant
grass in the pastures helps conserve
soil health and moisture, it contributes to a resilient and continuing
growth of more grass.
“We have no control over how
much it rains, but we can do things
to keep the moisture that we do get,”
says Price. “It takes grass to make
grass. When there’s plenty of standing grass, the cattle then trample it
into the ground, which helps build
soil organic matter and conserve
moisture.
“The trampled grass covers the
ground,” he says, “and this helps us
avoid bare earth. Bare ground is our
number one enemy.”
When ground is bare, hot weather
can scorch soil life and plant roots.
“Information from the Natural Resources Conservation Service has
shown that when the air temperature
is 104˚F., the temperature of the soil
to a depth of 4 inches can be as high
as 140˚F.,” says Price. “Such a high
temperature sterilizes the ground. To
avoid that, we depend upon maintaining a grass thatch to hold moisture and to shade the ground as much
as possible.”
Overgrazing combined with
scorched soil can kill grass roots.
“When roots die, the plants can’t use
sunlight and even the small amount
of moisture that we do get,” he says.
“We’re in the business of converting
solar energy to plant material and
selling it through cattle. Yet because
grass makes grass, it’s never wasted
if it’s not run through a cow.”
The Prices use six management
practices to ensure sustained grass
growth as well as soil, livestock, and
economic health.
A typical stocking rate in their locale is one cow per 8 acres. The
Prices stock at a rate of 75% and
even less than that, especially in the
face of continuing effects of
drought.
Invasions of grasshoppers also
tend to accompany drought. Since
these insects have the potential to
consume grass, a light stocking rate
also ensures cattle will have sufficient grazing despite grasshopper
consumption.
Maintaining a light stocking rate
is particularly important on those
pastures that were poorly managed
before being acquired by the Prices.
They have built their ranch slowly
over a period of decades, purchasing
some overgrazed pastures recently.
“In many cases we’re managing
someone else’s managerial footprint,” says Price. “If some mesquite
pastures have experienced erosion,
with soil ending up in the Gulf of
Mexico, we’re not going to fix that
loss. Because of that, we have a real
mottled look to the land we manage.”
1) Maintain a light stocking rate.
“Our stocking rate is lighter than
that of most other producers in our
area,” says Price.
4) Build populations of native
grasses. Their management system
permits native grasses to thrive.
These resilient grasses include big

2) Rotate pastures. They rotate
two herds through 30 pastures, giving grass six to eight weeks of rest
between grazings.
3) Aim for slow, sustained grass
growth. To build soil fertility, they
rely on livestock manure and urine,
as well as decaying plant residue.
and little bluestem, Indian grass,
switchgrass, and side-oats grama.
“We use the presence of these
plants as indicators to show how
well we’re doing in terms of managing the grasslands,” says Price.
“These native grasses have a great
deal of resiliency. Big bluestem, for
instance, can grow to a height of 6
feet and have extensive roots reaching to depths of 4 or 5 feet.
“That type of grass provides the
kind of grazing forage that will carry
us through a drought,” he says. “The
native grasses also provide important nesting habitat for quail and
wild turkey.” (See “Income Diversity” story.)
5) Supplement winter grazing. To
provide winter grazing for livestock,
the Prices rely on cool-season
grasses like Texas wintergrass and
stockpiled standing forages. They do
supplement cattle, grazing the matured grass with a 38% protein supplement.
6) Add value to livestock. “Rather
than just selling calves by weight on
the commercial market, we look for
ways to add value to the cattle,” says
Price. Calves are preconditioned and
age- and source-verified. They’re
then sold in load lots into all-natural
niche markets.
Conservative use of grass is paying off in the long run. “By maintaining a light stocking rate, we’re
increasing soil health over time,”
says Price. “We’re also improving
viability. We can make it through a
drought without having to sell down
the herd.”

stock about 10 years ago, building a
quarter-acre greenhouse to grow
tomatoes commercially. About a year
ago, they built a warehouse with 18
tanks to produce about 140,000
pounds of barramundi a year.
“We’re in a developing urban area,
so finding ground to continue our row
crop operation and to keep it sustainable was a challenge,” Garwood said.
“So, we began looking out for other
ways we could stay in agriculture.”
Within the next two years, Garwood hopes to expand to 48 tanks and
become part of a fish producing cooperative with other Midwest fish
farms — including Iowa’s First. The
central Iowa fishery recently paired
with VeroBlue Farms to build an indoor operation expected to produce 4
million pounds of fish annually by
2017, VeroBlue President Keith
Driver said.
VeroBlue and other U.S. fish farms
currently import fry — recently
hatched fish about a quarter-inch long
— from a fish hatchery in Australia.
They nurture the fish to about 2 to 2
1/2 pounds for market.
“As you can imagine, you can
bring over a lot of little quarter-inch
fish relatively cheap,” Driver said.
“You need to hit a really big volume
before it makes sense to put in your
own hatchery and duplicate all
that work.”
Zohar and others say growing the
world’s food fish in tanks is no passing fad.
“There is a need for marine aquaculture so we can leave the wild stock
alone so they can recover,” Zohar
said. “We don’t hunt and gather chickens or cows. Why do we still do it
for fish?”

indoor tanks.
“I’m afraid to tell you, the U.S. is
way behind the rest of the world in
terms of developing aquaculture or
keeping up with production of aquaculture,” says Dr. Yonathan Zohar,
chairman of the Department of Marine Biotechnology at the University
of Maryland. “If you look at the U.S.
production numbers, it’s mostly catfish — which is a good industry, but
we need to be looking at some of the
marine species we’ve been running
out of.”
Some critics have suggested that
the tanks — sometimes called closed
containment systems — could be susceptible to catastrophic losses in the
event of a power and backup generator outage. But Zohar, whose life
work is in aquaculture, says the advantages outweigh “what-if” scenarios. Land-based tank fish farming
nearly eliminates fish manure runoff
and water waste through use of water
recirculating and treatment systems,
he noted.
“This technology lets us ... raise
fish in a very clean environment, very
optimized for their health,” said
Steven Summerfelt, who is the director of The Conservation Fund’s Freshwater Institute in West Virginia. “It’s
free from disease. We haven’t used
antibiotics, pesticides, anything, to
treat the water or the fish for over a
decade, because we keep the diseases out.”
Summerfelt had assumed those factors would drive the demand for tankraised fish, but found, “What
consumers really love is that it’s locally grown.”

The Plainview News
Christmas Edition
Public’s Second grade describes Santa’s day after Christmas
Second-graders in Ann Gutz’s
class at Plainview Public Schools
shared their thoughts on what Santa
would be doing on the day after
Christmas.
The day after Christmas Santa
went to New York City. First he
went sledding but an elf slid off the
back and scrunched his nose on a
tree. Then Santa went up the Statue
of Liberty. He got stuck in the
staircase. Later he took his reindeer
to the beach. Santa took Rudolph
surfing. They had a great time.
When he got home he slept in the
hot tub.
Wyatt Doerr
went to the Broncos vs the New
York Buffalo game. Santa cheered
for the Buffalos. Rudolph cheered
for the Broncos. The Broncos won!
Santa was happy to see the game
even if his team didn’t win. The
score was 24 to 16. After that they
went home. The elves made a toy
football with Santa. The had a great
time and then Santa had to get some
sleep.
Jacson King
the reindeer. Then they al went to
bed.
Caden Ickler
played video games all day long.
His favorite was Skylander Trap
Team. All of his reindeer and elves
watched as he played the hardest
level of the game. He got stuck, but
he finally made it through. Everyone was so happy that they had a
big celebration party with lots of
candy.
John Leija
The day after Christmas, Santa
went to sleep for the whole day.
The he wanted to go sledding with
the elves. One elf crashed into
Rudolph. That elf was named Bill.
Bill got a broken leg. Rudolph got
in a lot of trouble for standing in the
way. Rudolph got punished. For
his punishment, he could not go to
Hawaii. The next day, Santa got in
his private jet. Then in 10 hours,
they were there! Santa and the
elves were impatient. Jack the elf
needed to use the restroom. The
next day, the elves were excited but
Santa was not. Santa forgot his
swim trunks. They were in such a
rush that he forgot to pack them. So
they got back in the jet and flew
back home. The elves were mad at
Santa. Santa went inside and got
his swimming trunks. Jack just decided to leave without Santa so they
did. They got back in the jet and
flew back to Hawaii without Santa
and had fun.
Rece Frahm
threw a party for the elves and the
reindeer. He surprised the elves but
the reindeer helped Santa put up the
decorations. When the elves went
in, Santa turned on the lights. He
had surprised the elves. They made
pizza and ate it. Then they went
outside and sent ice skating. The
reindeer couldn’t do it very well.
When they were done, they went inside Santa’s shop. Mrs. Claus came
with cookies and milk for Santa and
took his 1970 Dodge Charger to
Law Vegas. When he got there he
cruised around like a show off. He
got a speeding ticket. Then he
stayed at the Ho Ho Inn Hotel. The
next morning he drove back to the
North Pole to get his private jet that
he calls Silver Lightning. Then he
flew to Alabama to watch Alabama
vs. Michigan State play football.
The final score was 28 to 31. Alabama won!
Harrison Thor
Have a Joyous Holiday Season!
CHI Health Plainview
took a nice bubble bath. Then he
decided to go on a vacation to the
beach. When they got there they
went swimming. Santa wanted to
take the bubble boat. They needed
to take sunscreen so Santa wouldn’t
get another sunburn. They took off
in the bubble boat but all of a sudden they heard a pop! Water started
coming in. The reindeer got cared
and flew back to the North Pole to
get Mrs. Claus. When she got
there, Santa was trying ot swim
back to the beach. She gave him
arm floaties then they pulled him
back to shore. By now it was time
for them to go back to the North
Pole and start making more presents.
Hannah Darnall
goes to the beach.
He takes
Rudolph with him. Rudolph likes
to play volleyball at the beach.
Santa fell asleep while watching
Rudolph. When he woke up he had
a huge sunburn all over his body. It
really hurt so he decided to fly
home to Mrs. Claus. He rested and
ate a lot of cookies.
Xavier Barron
goes to Hawaii with all the people
at the North Pole. They do the hula,
tan, and swim. The elves do the
splits and the reindeer chuck sand
at Santa when he is tanning. Mrs.
Claus sits on the hotel couch and
just eats popcorn while watching
movies. Al the left over toys are in
Santa’s sleigh but the sleigh flies
away so the reindeer had to use
their magic dust to go get it. At the
hotel, Mrs. Claus, the elves, reindeer, and Santa all lay down and
sleep. Then they heard a CRASH!
They woke up. It was the tow truck
trying to take Santa’s sleigh. They
got up and went outside. They tried
to stop him but it was too late so
they had to use their magic dust
again to fly and get it back. They
got it back. When they got back to
the hotel, they were tired so they
watched a movie and fell asleep.
Allie Hilpipre
went to Jamaica for a vacation. He
took Rudolph, 30 elves, and Mrs.
Claus. They went swimming, fishing, and scuba diving. The best part
was scuba diving because they
caught 10 fish 5 crabs, and 1 electric eel that had a sting. The elves
caught 12 fish, 2 electric eels, and
1 crab. They had to cut them up.
When they were done they gave the
crabs to a restaurant called Red
Lobster for $100. When they were
done they went home. They went
to bed and waited for next Christmas. Next year they will go to New
York.
Brandon Stoffel
went sledding with the elves. One
of them hit a bump and went flying!
He landed in a tree. Then they had
a snowball fight. It was really fun.
Then they went to Hawaii and later
they flew back to the workshop and
had a party while Santa took a 6
hour nap. When he woke up, Mrs.
Claus had made cookies. They
were so good. Then they all went
outside and made a snowman and
had the best snowball fight ever.
Trevin Petersen
So was Mason and Allie and Wyatt
and a whole lot of different people.
Rudolph checked the naughty list.
No one was on it. Santa was excited to see the good news. He even
read that Weston wanted a pony for
Christmas next year. Then Santa
told the elves to get back to work.
Weston Hoffman
and the elves went to a really snowy
hill and built a ginormous snow
castle. Santa could even go inside
it. It had 99 rooms in it. They had
a snowball fight and they went to
the top of the castle and slid down.
Then the reindeer came with the
sleigh. It took 20 elves to steer it.
Then they all went flying. They
had parachutes on so then they all
jumped out. All of them landed
safely until the reindeer landed.
The reindeer almost broke the castle. Then they all flew back. Mrs.
Claus had baked 1,000 cookies for
Santa and all of the elves. Then
they all took a long nap.
Landon Hansen
slept for four hours in his bed. He
dreamt about how many presents he
would deliver next year. When he
woke up he had a snowball fight
with the elves and reindeer. Then
he took a trip to Lincoln, Nebraska.
He went to the state capitol. Santa
better like the Huskers since he
only wears read and white. Then he
sent to San Diego, California to see
the Huskers play in the Holiday
Bowl against the USC Trojans.
They won 42 to 3. The he went to
Washington, D.C. First he went to
the Jefferson Memorial. He also
went to the White House and met
President Obama. Then he went to
the Lincoln Memorial. He did lots
of other fun things. Then his trip
ended.
Karter Lingenfelter
went to Hawaii. He took Mrs. Claus
and the reindeer. It was hot! Santa
wanted to sleep. While Santa was
asleep, Mrs. Claus went to see the
volcano. When Santa woke up he
was hungry so he went to the diner
and got something to eat. Then he
went to the volcano to find Mrs.
Claus. By that time it was night
and they went to bed. 19 days later
they went back to the North Pole.
Shayla Jacobsen
went to a hotel. There was a nice
pool and a nice room. One day
there was a storm. Santa wanted to
order pizza from Pizza Hut but he
couldn’t. Instead he went to the
buffet in the hotel. Later, the storm
was over so Santa went swimming.
He went down the big water slide
with the elves. They had a great
time.
Tesla Ickler
took the elves sledding. One elf
went first and hit a rock and flew up
into a tree. He got stuck up in the
tree and couldn’t get down so Santa
helped the elf down. Then Santa
went sledding until he couldn’t
move the sled. Everyone else had a
snowball fight. Santa fell asleep on
the sled.
Keegan Davis-Roberts
was exhausted so he took his sleigh
and sent to the beach to have a
beach ball party and movie night.
After the movie was done, Santa
went to go get some sleep but the
elves kept Santa awake so he could
read them a story. During the story,
all the elves fell asleep so Santa let
them sleep. They all got a good
rest. When they woke up, Mrs.
Claus gave them cookies and milk.
She also gave them all presents. It
was a great Christmas.
Mason Petersen
went back to the North Pole and
taught Rudolph how to do karate.
That did not go well. Rudolph hit
Prancer and Dancer. Then Santa
took Rudolph in the house to check
the good list and Weston was on it!
went to Hawaii with Mrs. Claus, the
elves, and all the reindeer. They all
went for a swim. Santa and Mrs.
Claus dried off and went to take a
nap while the elves and reindeer
surf. When Santa woke up, he remembered that he had forgotten
about the elves and the reindeer so
he ran back out to see if they were
still there but they were gone. The
next day Santa and Mrs. Claus
looked for the elves and reindeer
again but they were still gone. The
next day they looked again. When
they finally found them, they were
in BIG trouble. They all flew back
to the North Pole and went back to
work making toys. The reindeer
had to practice flying all day. Mrs.
Claus started baking more cookies.
Baili Prewitt
takes a rest in his hot tub. Then he
throws a BIG party for the elves
and the reindeer. They eat snowball
pizza. Then Mrs. Claus makes chili
for them. Santa even rents a
bouncy castle. Then they have a
snowball fight. Rudolph even hit
Santa in the nose. He hit half of the
elves too. Then they ordered icicle
pizza. That is the reindeer’s favorite kind. Then Santa said it was
time to get back to work.

One of the most important
people I neglected to mention last week was
Brook Curtiss.

Endless Debt
If you need incentive to dig deep
this year and get your finances under
control, consider a recent study that
concluded that 18 percent of adults
expect to battle debt for the rest of
their lives and die in debt. The research, done by CreditCards.com,
says that it’s not that we’ve gone
crazy accruing debt, but that the Great
Recession lasted longer than financial
experts believe, which was 2007 to
2009. For many consumers, the effects of that recession are still going
on.
With young millennials, only 6 percent believe they’ll never get out of
debt. Increase the age to between 50
and 64, and that goes up to 22 percent.
For seniors age 65 and older, it’s 31
percent. While the millennials are optimistic, perhaps they should note that
those pessimistic seniors likely
thought the same when they were
younger ... that it was possible to get
out of debt. Their likely target age to
be debt free was 53.
Seniors were hit especially hard
during the recession and turned to
their homes to raise needed cash.
Mortgage debt rose 82 percent, which
means that seniors who expected to
live in a mortgage-free home are still
making payments.
Since the recession, total debt went
down slightly (from 79.7 percent to
77.5 percent), but the reason was due
to write-offs when the companies had
to cancel debts that couldn’t be paid.
That left consumers with lower credit
scores, which led to higher interest
rates on any subsequent loans they
took out. Household debt went up,
while incomes went down.
As has been said many times in this
column, beware believing that financial bad times are over, even though
in your household they might appear
to be. Keep debt as low as possible.
Pay off debts as quickly as you can,
but don’t disregard your rate of savings. If you take a higher deductible
for auto or home insurance to save
money, be sure that deductible
amount is tucked away in savings. If
you can’t pay off an item in three
months, don’t put it on a credit card.
Swap interest credit cards for those
with no interest for a period of time
and pay off the other balances. Develop a second source of income.
Shop the sales.
In short, act as though the Great
Recession is still upon us, because in
some ways, it still is.

Pirate wrestlers out of top spot by
a half-point at Elgin tournament
A half-point separated the Plainview Pirate wrestling team from victory at the Elgin Public/Pope John
wrestling tournament last Saturday.
The Randolph Cardinals eked out a
win with 130 team points, outscoring
the Pirates by one-half point of 129.5.
The gap to third was quite large with
Palmer finishing with 93.5 points,
Cross County/Osceola taking fourth
with 86 and Pender in the top five
with 83.
“We have several kids that are sitting out and getting healthy for the
end of the season,” said Coach Dean
Boyer. “The good thing about that is
the young kids are spending a lot of
time wrestling. I think we can do better than we are, but getting second in
a 19-team tournament with nine out of
12 underclassmen in the line-up is not
bad.”
“As a team, we need to get more
offensive. We are not being aggressive enough. For some reason, we are
just waiting too much,” said Boyer.
“If we make mistakes and lose, when
we were trying something that is not
as bad as losing and doing nothing to
win. We will be working hard on that
these next two weeks.”
The Pirate wrestling team will have
a break over the holidays and begin
with competition again on Thursday,
Jan. 8 when the Ord Chanticleers visit
Plainview for a dual at 6:30 p.m. and
they will wrestle again that Saturday,
Jan. 10 at Amherst at 10 a.m.
