The annual Citizenship program, sponsored by the Nebraska American Legion, is designed to provide youths a better understanding of how city, county, and state governments operate. American Legion Cornhusker Boys’ State is set up as a functional “51st state” and each boy learns how government subdivisions operate by actually doing the job. Participants will campaign for offices, hold elections, take part in band and chorus, compete in athletics, and be involved in other varied activities as part of the citizenship training program. They will set up their own state government and draft bills. Special lectures and addresses will be delivered by experienced public officials and professional leaders throughout Nebraska. Invitations have been sent to the Governor and Secretary of State offices for special appearances at this year’s program. National acclaimed motivational speakers are also scheduled to address the entire group.

Brandt Board discuss properties, hears fire department request by Tammie Middagh The Holbrook Village Board met for their regular monthly meeting on Monday, April 4, 2016 in the Holbrook Village office. Those in attendance included trustees Julie Epley, Kim Helms, Dale Long along with the village clerk Tiffany Hock and the village superintendent, Ron Brown. Visitors included CJ Poltack from West Central Development, Virginia Valenzuela from Furnas/ Harlan Partnership, Kelsey Runion, Wes Hock, and Matt Schulz. Trustees Tim DeVries and Laurie Magnus-Warner were absent. Chairman of the board, Dale Long, opened the 7:30 p.m. meeting and noted that the Open Meetings Policy Act was posted in the room. The minutes from the March 14, 2016 were approved as the first order of business. The claims in the total amount of $29,428.00 were reviewed, discussed and approved for payment.

They have met with the Holbrook Planning Commission asking to have this property zoned commercial. No action has been taken at this time as this property will be posted for 30 days and then there will be another meeting with the Planning Commission. The board discussed at length several buildings on Center Avenue. The current owner would like to gift them to the Village of Holbrook. At this time, only one quote on the cost of demolition has been received and the board would need to have three estimates. Asbestos testing would have to be done as well. In the event there is asbestos in the buildings, only those that are certified in asbestos abatement can remove it. Disposal of asbestos material is also an added expense. The board took no action. Long informed the board that Holbrook resident Gary Metzger would be interested in purchasing a few pieces of playground equipment. The village clerk addressed the issue of nuisance properties around Holbrook. Letters have been sent. Clean up has begun on one property and the Inside this week Page 6...................

The board voted to approve the part time employee to begin this week keeping the dump open on Mondays and Fridays from 4-7 p.m. and •Continued on Page 2 The U.S. Census Bureau recently released new population estimates for the time period from July 2014 to July 2015, and while roughly one third of the counties in Nebraska saw population growth and the state as a whole is keeping up with the national growth average, Furnas County has once again seen a decline in population. Counties with the most growth are also home to the biggest cities in Nebraska: Douglas, Sarpy, Lancaster, Buffalo and Hall counties, which house Omaha, Lincoln, Kearney and Grand Island, respectively. This continues the trend of urbanization within Nebraska. Douglas County, where most of Omaha resides, is the largest county with approximately 550,064 residents, an increase of 32,954 people since the 2010 census. On the flip side, Arthur County, in the Sandhills just north of Lake McConaughy, has a mere 456 estimated residents, down from 460 at the 2010 census. It is estimated to be the fifth smallest county by population in the United States. Furnas County has an estimated 4,862 residents, which is a slight decrease from the 2010 census when there were 4,959 residents. The county’s population has been declining ever since 1900 with the only uptick in 1930 when the population grew by 4.1% from 11,657 in 1920 to 12,140. Interestingly, in 1930 only 5,916 people lived in a town in Furnas County, with over half the population living in rural areas. Now, more than 75% of Furnas County residents live in a town, further illustrating the urban shift. On the whole, Nebraska is going through its biggest period of growth since the early 1990s, which is largely credited to how well Nebraska weathered the economic crisis of 2008 and beyond. The state surpassed West Virginia - one of only two states, along with Maine, to decline in population since 2010 – to become the 37th most populous state in Union.

Opinion ARAPAHOE PUBLIC MIRROR • WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6 2016 •PAGE 2 arapahoemirror.org From the Director’s Desk Hughes Views Virginia Valenzuela, Director Furnas-Harlan Partnership This time of year is commonly associated with Spring Cleaning, and if you’re not currently in the habit, then I suggest incorporating a sort of spring cleaning of your businesses and organizations. Not only should we clean out the physical clutter and dirt from our stores, buildings and properties, but we should also use this time to reevaluate business practices, policies, and procedures that aren’t useful to our operations. We all have more things on our to-do lists than we have hours in the day to do them. Whether you’re a business owner, an organization leader, a community leader, a farmer, or a stay at home mom, we all have excess clutter in our schedules, and in our daily operations that are inhibiting us from performing at our optimum level. By eliminating the clutter, we will not only free ourselves and our organizations to refocus our efforts on our core missions, but we will also become more efficient in performing our tasks. If you’re a brick and mortar store owner, this would be a great time to evaluate your inventory as well. If there are things that are sitting on your shelves that haven’t moved for the last year, then get rid of it. Your shelf space is valuable, and you only want to use that precious space for things that will make you money; after all, isn’t part of your mission as a business owner to provide goods and services that your public wants? In addition to getting rid of stagnant inventory, utilize this time to connect with your customers, whether that be in face to face conversations, through a survey, or comment box; find out what your customers are leaving town to purchase. There may be new items or services you never considered carrying or providing before, but if your customer is leaving town to acquire these things, then there is an opportunity gap that needs to be filled on the local level. I believe that many of our small towns have a great foundation of businesses, but we can do better in our efficiency and our service. One thing that is a great efficiency builder is competition. When we’ve done the same old thing year after year and decade after decade we tend to fall into a ‘business as usual’ mentality. This is a dangerous mindset to be in because if you’re not consistently evaluating new items and services of opportunity, then you’re leaving a big slice of the market wide open for somebody else to take advantage of. That’s why big companies employ annual and quarterly market trend analysis. They want to keep on top of their performance, the performance of their competitors, and overall target market trends so as to be quick to identify an emerging opportunity and capitalize on it before their competitors. So don’t look at new stores in our towns as threats, rather, use them as a fundamental element that will push you and your organization or business to perform even better. There’s nothing wrong with competition, rather it draws us to be more creative, efficient and engaged; so get rid of the ‘autopilot’ mode of business. If your business or organization needs some help with jumpstarting your spring cleaning plan, then give me, Virginia, with the Furnas-Harlan Partnership a call at 308-655-1032. I would love to help your organization or business get more organized. We all have deficiencies we need to work on, and there’s no shame in asking for help; I better be hearing from some of you this week! •Continued from Page 1 - Holbrook Village Board to 4:00 p.m. A new hydrant has been installed at the shelter.

The current packs are 18 years old, and although still good, are a different model from what the department would like to be using. Schulz has the opportunity to purchase two new air packs at a savings of approximately 40% and asked if the village would be interested in purchasing one air pack and the Holbrook Fire Department would purchase another. Some discussion was held about the sale of the old air packs. It was finally decided that more information would be needed before proceeding. Virginia Valenzuela, director of the Furnas/Harlan Partnership told the board what she has been doing. She will be coming back to a board meeting in the future with a power point presentation about what she learned at a recent Department of Economic Development meeting. The board decided to change their next meeting from Monday, May 2, 2016 to Monday, May 9, 2016. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. Arapahoe Public Mirror The end is near, haste makes waste Capitol View By J.L. Schmidt Statehouse Correspondent The Nebraska Press Association As the 104th Legislature wraps up its work with a hurried tax plan, it’s a good time to remember that, “haste makes waste.” Somewhere in my newspaper archives (read that “box of stuff in the basement”) I have a 72-point slug of type (that’s big) from a Ludlow machine that says etsaw sekam etsah. Every editor, printer and reporter can interpret that. It was a “gift” to me from my first post-college real boss who wanted me to remember a mistake that I had made. No words were necessary. Just that shiny chunk of lead strategically placed on my desk some 40-plus years ago. In the rush – and I am still NOT sure why – to get a tax policy in front of Governor ‘My Number One Priority Is Property Tax Relief’ Ricketts, lawmakers went back to the drawing board late in the session with another public hearing and a hurried proposal to give owners of agricultural land a larger property tax credit than the rest of us. I am not sure if that would pass muster in the courts – should someone challenge it. I do know that at least one farm group had suggested it might seek to take the matter to the voters. In what could be a battle of the think tanks, estimates on the impact to the state’s piggy bank in the out years have ranged from a $100 million shortfall to a whopping $240 million shortfall. Neither one is acceptable to me -- and I would venture to guess most people paying residential or commercial property taxes – while they empathize with the owners of ag land – aren’t going to be crazy about it either. Following advancement of the revised bill to the full Legislature, Ricketts said he was pleased that the Revenue Committee invested significant time and thought in collaborating with his office to assemble a property tax relief package. He used his oft’ stated line that this is a step towards bringing property tax relief to hardworking Nebraska families. Significant time and thought. One short session (60 days) of the Legislature is hardly enough. The debate should be about forming a public-private group including members of the Legislature and the administration and the stakeholders and directing that group to hammer out several alternatives in a reasonable amount of time, say maybe a year. Public hearings should be held along the way. This should not be done in an election year. Term limits has created a pool of senators who can’t come back for four years. What do they care about the outcome? And for those who are running for another term, do you think they want to make an important decision about such a heavy issue right now? You’ve read it here before; when it comes to taxes it’s a simple matter of whose ox is getting gored? Oh, and how powerful and influential their lobby is. There hasn’t been significant tax action in Nebraska since the late Governor Norbert Tiemann (1967-1971) threw caution and a political future to the wind and oversaw: creation of a state sales-income tax system; state aid to schools; the University of Nebraska at Omaha; the state Department of Economic De- Bargain Buyway - April 22, 23 & 24, 2016 Coming April 22, 23 and 24, Bargain Buyway is a 300+ mile loop in scenic North Central Nebraska, with over 200 vendors offering new & used, large & small, something for everyone!

Tiemann was not a favorite in his own party after all that and lost a second term bid to Democrat J. James Exon. But Tiemann knew what was right for Nebraska at the time and stuck to his guns to make it happen. He’d be a good role model for others to follow in the on-going – should I say never-ending – discussion about taxes. Even the potential beneficiaries of the proposed tax break aren’t satisfied. A spokesman for the Center for Rural Affairs calls it token relief. The Nebraska Farm Bureau and Nebraska Farmers Union have said they support the measure but warned that it wouldn’t address the state’s heavy reliance on ag-land tax support of public schools and local government. One Southeast Nebraska farmer said simply, this isn’t enough. The proposal would boost property tax credits for farm and ranch owners by about $30 million next year. But the OpenSky Policy Institute says the owner of a $1 million tract of farmland would see a savings of about $235. The Lincoln think tank sees a $100 million dent in the state’s next two-year budget. Other estimates have warned of a $240 million budget shortfall over the next three years. Omaha Sen. Heath Mello, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, says state spending on public schools — held down in recent years because of high agricultural land valuations — is expected to climb by an average of five percent each year during the next two-year budget cycle. That could complicate the governor’s goal of keeping the state’s overall budget growth lower each of those years. Former state Senator and eight year Appropriations Committee member John Harms of Scottsbluff says agriculture is facing rough years ahead and lawmakers could be tempted to reach into the state’s Cash Reserve. He calls the pending legislation a dangerous decision to make right now. Former state Senator Bob Wickersham of Harrison says the Legislature is not done with this issue. Remember friends, haste makes waste. •Senator Dan Hughes, District 44 After several weeks, the legislature arrived this past week on the topic which many have worried about and looked forward to: property tax relief. Specifically, we spent many hours debating LB 958 and LB 959, the bills introduced at the request of the Governor. Both bills passed the first round of consideration, with many amendments considered, debated, rejected, and adopted for each. LB 958 would increase agricultural property tax credits. Among other things, LB 959 deals with removing an incentive for school districts to actually raise property taxes. We also did extensive work on LB 1067, relating to the Learning Community in Omaha. LB 958 was advanced to Select File after lengthy debate. There will certainly be further changes to the bill, but as of the deadline for this column, it would continue broad property tax credits offered last year, and would change the way that agricultural property tax credits are calculated, bringing it closer to the way that residential and commercial property tax credits are calculated. LB 959 was placed on Select File following hours of debate as well, and this was also done on the condition that further negotiation would occur on the bill before it is debated for consideration for Final Reading. It also caps a special levy which school districts can use to address health, safety, and accessibility problems. Additionally, LB 959 would remove a penalty for school districts which set their levies below 95 cents. This would give those districts access to state aid and eliminate a law which encouraged them to raise property taxes. This will allow a number of school districts to reduce their levies and will provide more state aid to districts that are heavily dependent on property taxes to fund their schools. LB 1067 will also be the topic of much negotiation before it is debated on the floor for advancement to Select File. The discussion last week revolved around elimination of the common levy, and how to allocate state educational aid and poverty aid to the Learning Community school districts as well as rural areas, as poverty is not exclusive to the Omaha metropolitan area. Currently, the bill as amended would eliminate the common levy, increase state aid by $5.3 million, and provide for two years of aid for districts negatively impacted by the change to transition, starting at $3.6 million. As always with bills involving multi-milliondollar price tags, there will be more discussion of how much money will be spent on each appropriation and on the bill in total.

ARAPAHOE PUBLIC MIRROR • WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 2016 •PAGE 5 Support Local Businesses: arapahoemirror.org Shop Arapahoe The hidden boost that buying local provides to the local economy, a figure that dwarfed the revenue returned by the national chains, which returned just 14 percent of revenue to the local economy. Restaurants provided an even bigger boost to local economies, returning 79 percent of their revenue compared to just 30 percent for the national chain restaurants. The reasons for these disparities include local businesses spending more on local labor and relying more heavily on local service providers. So while buying local may be more convenient and eco-friendly, it also can greatly benefit local economies. Though consumers no doubt understand how buying from local merchants can benefit those merchants, few may grasp just how beneficial buying local can be to their entire communities. In 2012, Civic Economics, an economic analysis and strategic planning firm, analyzed data from 15 independent retailers and seven independent restaurants, all located in Salt Lake City, comparing those businesses’ local economic impact with four national retailer chains and three national restaurant chains. The study found that the local retailers returned 52 percent of their revenue Lu Trosper wins March Shop Arapahoe contest Lu Trosper won the March Shop Arapahoe contest for a $20 gift certificate valid at any of the businesses on this page.
