NFHS announces 2008 National High School Hall of Fame class
Tom Kropp becomes Nebraska’s first inductee
Three female athletes who seized
the opportunity to play high school
sports after the passage
of Title IX in 1972 headline the 2008 class of
the National High
School Hall of Fame.
These four were chosen in the Athlete category:
• Tom Kropp, Nebraska prep athlete of
the decade in the 1970s
at Aurora (Nebraska)
High School;
• Jackie Brummer,
four-time state gymnastics allaround champion from Amherst
(New York) Sweet Home High School
in the early 1980s;
• Natasha Kaiser-Brown, ninetime state champion (1982-85) in track
and field from Des Moines (Iowa)
Theodore Roosevelt High School;
• Karen Smith, two-time California state basketball player of the
year in the late 1970s from Sacramento (California) Rio Americano
High School.
These four former high school
standouts are among 12 individuals
who will be inducted in the National
Federation of State High
School Associations
(NFHS) National High
School Hall of Fame July
7 at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Washington, D.C.
The Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be
the closing event of the
89th NFHS Annual
Summer Meeting.
“This is a tremendous honor and we are
extremely excited to
have Tom Kropp become Nebraska’s
first inductee into the National High
School Hall of Fame,” said Dr. Jim
Tenopir, Executive Director of the
Nebraska School Activities Association. “Tom was a tremendous allaround athlete. He is one of those
athletes that people remember and
still talk about to this day. Tom’s
accomplishments and athletic ability are evident and we are proud that
he will go into the National High
School Hall of Fame in July.”
Kropp was a four-sport (football,
basketball, baseball, track) standout
at Aurora High School from 1967 to
1971. He was two-time all-state in
football and played in the 1971 Shrine
Bowl. In basketball, he averaged 33
points and 23 rebounds as a senior
and was named one of the top five
basketball players in Nebraska history by the Omaha World-Herald.
He was the winning pitcher in
Aurora’s state baseball championship and threw a no-hitter in the
tournament’s semifinals. In track,
Kropp was undefeated in the shot
put and discus in his senior season.
Kropp was named one of Nebraska’s
school sports and activity programs.
This year’s class increases the number in the Hall of Fame to 350, and
this year’s event will be the 26th induction ceremony.
The 12 individuals were chosen
after a two-level selection process
involving a screening committee
composed of active high school
state association administrators,
coaches and officials, and a final selection committee composed of
coaches, former athletes, state association officials, media representatives and educational leaders.
Nominations were made through
NFHS member associations.
A reservoir of opportunity awaits.

Baseball cards celebrate America’s pastime
(NAPSI)-Whether you’re a fan of Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Cal Ripken Jr.
or Ken Griffey Jr., chances are you remember opening your first pack of baseball
cards.
Collecting and trading baseball cards has been part of our nation’s pastime for
over a century. While the thrill of opening a pack of cards has stayed the same, many
fans will tell you that modern capabilities make baseball cards the coolest pieces
of “art” money can buy. Now, baseball fans, young and old, can pay homage to
baseball cards when Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Major League
Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) present National Baseball Card Day.
With the support of card companies Topps and Upper Deck, card collectors
can celebrate the thrill of baseball card collecting as of March 29, 2008, when they
can receive free packs of 2008 trading cards at participating hobby shops and Toys
“R” Us stores. National Baseball Card Day promises to bring together generations
of fans as they build new memories, interact with collectors in their area and find
fun and unique ways to connect with their favorite players.
In an effort to help kids and other fans make the most out of their collections,
MLB, MLBPA, Topps and Upper Deck offer tips to get started:
• Collect your favorite players!
• Start a team collection with the players on your favorite teams. Set aside the
starters and place them in the batting order while you watch the game.
• Trade with your friends to swap doubles and find cards that fit with your unique
collection.
• Collect cards by type of photograph, such as a “perfect swing,” or those that
share your first or last name.
• Show them off!
People excited about the season’s new card series from Topps and Upper
Deck can get things started on National Baseball Card Day. Select retailers, from
Toys “R” Us to your local hobby shop, will give away exclusive National Baseball
Card Day packs featuring some of today’s brightest superstars. So who knows,
when you open your free pack of cards you might just find Alex Rodriguez, Derek
Jeter, David Ortiz, Ken Griffey Jr., David Wright or Albert Pujols, as well as a mix
of other current standouts and rising stars.
To find out more information about National Baseball Card Day, visit

(NAPSI)-Regardless of what the
scoreboard says, learning the basics of
sportsmanship can help kids score big,
whenever they compete.
That’s the idea behind the Five
Golden Rules of Sportsmanship, created in partnership with the American
Youth Soccer Organization, Little
League International, Girls on the Run
International and new Kellogg’s Frosted
Flakes Gold cereal.
“The Five Golden Rules of Sportsmanship help kids with confidence as
they deal with both challenges and accomplishments in athletics,” said Olympic gold medal speed skater Bonnie
Blair. “They serve as a ‘playbook’ for
kids in practice, games and in their daily
lives.”
The Five Golden Rules of Sportsmanship give coaches and parents the
tools they need to teach kids about good
sportsmanship on and off the field.
1. Play with a smile. That means
playing with passion, confidence and

self-respect; being gracious in victory
and defeat; and most of all having fun.
Play for your love of the game, not just
the trophy.
2. Be a winner. Winners lead by
example—always playing their best,
being humble and acting in good character. Bring your game to the next level by
practicing hard and learning from your
mistakes.
3. Show respect. Playing fair and
following the rules is a big part of sportsmanship. Always consider your safety
and the safety of others. Treat your
coaches, officials, parents, fans, teammates and opponents with respect.
4. Be a good teammate. Being part
of a team means showing up to practices
and games on time, cooperating and
being a trustworthy, loyal teammate.
5. Find good in the game. Instead of
focusing on missed opportunities, focus
on the positive points. Cheer on good
plays by your teammates and opponents
and congratulate effort as well as success.
As part of Kellogg Company’s national Earn Your Stripes program—
geared toward helping children believe
in themselves, work hard to accomplish
their goals and be their very best—kids
are also encouraged to get enough sleep,
exercise regularly and eat well. To help,
parents can check out a kid-friendly yet
nutritious cereal such as Kellogg’s
FrostedFlakes Gold.
Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes Gold is
not only a good source of fiber, but it
also provides long-lasting energy with
10 grams of whole grain per serving that
helps kids be their best. The crunchy
flakes also contain real honey, so parents can feel confident that it is a cereal
their kids will enjoy.

Hickman Preview of
Summer League Baseball Team
By Kolby Hamilton (Nebraska Baseball Association Intern)
There will be a new game in Hickman this summer. With the cooperation of the
Nebraska Baseball Association (NBA), an adult summer league baseball team is
being formed to play this summer in Hickman.
Hickman will play in the Southern State League. Hickman’s first season will be
managed by Chad Essink. Essink is excited for the new league and feels it will
provide another opportunity for those who want to extend their baseball playing
career.
“Hardball is an excellent idea,” he said. “It is a great alternative to fast pitch
softball for the kids who are too old to play legion and want to continue playing
baseball for a few more years before moving on to softball.”
The NBA was formed in 2006 in an effort to unify all Nebraska-based leagues
and promote playing the game of baseball by providing structure and ending the
season with a state tournament. Currently there are ten adult leagues operating
within the NBA. The Southern State League is one of the 10.
The Southern State League is currently comprised of three teams; the
other teams are Crete and Wilber, with more possibly joining. Other
possible teams could be Beatrice, Seward, Adams-Sterling, Wymore and
Fairbury. They have until March 31 to join the league.
The season begins May 18 and will go through August. In an effort for people
with jobs or busy schedules to be able to play in the league, all league games are
scheduled on Sundays, with a total of 12 league games being played in all. There
is also the possibility of inter-league games to be played during the week. The
season will end in the State Tournament, which takes place on the third weekend
in August. State regionals will precede the final tourney to determine who qualifies
for State. The site of the tournament is still up for bid and to be determined.
Essink feels the state tournament is a great way to unify all the leagues in
Nebraska and to compete against teams from across the state.
“I am sure the state tournament will be fun and I am excited to play in it,” Essink
added.
For more information about the NBA, leagues and teams, visit the NBA website
(www.nebraskabaseballassociation.org).
Don’t give up goals when dieting
(NAPSI)-When trying to achieve a healthy weight, the first thing you may want
to cut out is stress.
According to nutritionist Shawn Talbott, Ph.D., “Stress is just as important a
factor to control as diet and exercise, so unless you control all three in the same
program, you’re really spinning your wheels.”
That’s why he created the Get Up-Slim Down program. “It’s not about
removing stress from your life,” he says. It’s about handling stress differently, to
avoid storing “stress fat” the body thinks it needs to survive tough times.
His program helps people relax and destress, while also improving mood and
energy levels (without shakes or jitters). Simply feeling better can often help you
get back on track with diet and exercise—and achieve your weight loss goals.
To cut stress, he offers some tips. Get a hobby—it can help you relax. Spend
time with friends. Identify patterns relating to your stress and do what you can to
predict and avoid stressful situations.
More about the program is at www.GetUpSlimDown.com and (888) GetUp-90.
The less stress in your life, the more likely you’ll succeed at losing weight, a
nutritionist says.

The results of the 2008 Boys State
Basketball tournament are in the book.
Omaha Central won the Class A state
championship for the third straight year;
Beatrice nabbed the Class B championship, their seventh in school history;
Hastings St. Cecilla won its first ever
Class C1 state title, with Class C state
championships in 1958, and 1969.
Our neighbors to the east, ElmwoodMurdock, claimed the top spot in Class
C2, for its first ever state title; In Class
D1, Archbishop Bergan, behind the hot
scoring of Iowa State recruit Wes
Eikmeier, who had 43 of his teams 56
points, won its first D1 state championship after Class C state titles in 1980,
and 1987; and, neighbors to the southeast, Falls City Sacred Heart, won its
eighth state championship.
The crowds were great at the Devaney Sports Complex, and I understand
it could be a record attendance year for
both the girls and boys basketball state
tournaments, despite the extremely high
prices for almost everything nowadays.
In the Event Staff “Pick’em” contest,
Jim Andreas and I tied for first place
with a three day record of 35-13; Ron
Severson placed second with a record
of 33-15; Kent Backson, and Allen
Plunknett, were third at 31-17, and Brad
“Maybe Next year” King was fourth, or
last, depending on how you look at
it, with a record of 26-22.
It was a refreshing way to end the
winter sports season, especially since
while I was working, I was able to see
life long acquaintances who show up
once a year to catch a few high school
basketball games.

If you are thinking Easter is early
this year, you are not alone. I received this explanation on why Easter falls in March, and what to expect
in the future: Easter is always the
first Sunday after the first full moon
after the Spring Equinox (which is
March 20).
This dating of Easter is based on the
lunar calendar that Hebrew people used
to identify passover, which is why it
moves around on our Roman calendar.
Based on the above information,
Easter can actually be one day earlier
(March 22) that is rare.
This year is the earliest Easter any of
us will ever see the rest of our lives! And
only the most elderly of our population
have ever seen it this early (95 years old
or above). And none of us have ever, or
will ever, see it a day earlier!
Here’s the facts: The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be
the year 2228 (220 years from now).
The last time it was this early was 1913
(so if you’re 95 or older, you are the
only ones that were around for that!).
The next time it will be a day earlier,
March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277
years from now). The last time it was on
March 22 was 1818.
So, no one alive today has or will
ever see it any earlier than this year! So,
take pictures and put in your photo
album. Easter Sunday is a very historic
day in more ways than the resurrection celebration.

SECC students visit nut orchards near Bennet
Local nut-grower Stan Matzke (far right) shared some important grafting techniques with
Horticulture students from Southeast Community College in Beatrice.
Photo submitted
The Southeast Community College
of Beatrice horticulture class visited
John Knorr’s and Stan Matzke’s pecan
and walnut orchards near Bennet on
March 6.
They observed the results of the
propagation of cultivars through the
grafting of scion wood on seedlings from
high quality producing nut trees. Prior
to the visit, a PowerPoint presentation
and demonstration of different propagations methods were presented to the
horticulture class at SECC. During their
visit, horticulture instructor Kevin
Christiansen and his class were able to
see orchards with new and established
grafts.
The class asked questions about
what seedling root stock one should use
for flowering and pollination, and they
were able to see different types of orchard management practices to help tree
growth and nut production. The class
was also interested in understanding the
value of walnut trees for wood.
Stan showed the class his walnutfigured wood orchard, which was
grafted with figured scion wood as seedlings. After the trees grow about 10 foot
tall, they are again grafted with scion
wood from a known cultivar for nut production. The only way to propagate a
cultivar nut is through grafting--not the
planting of its nuts.
The Nebraska Nut Growers Association is celebrating its 30th year this
year. The purpose of NeNGA is to
educate persons in the cultivation,
propagation, improvement and use of
nut and fruit trees and bushes. NeNGA
has worked closely with UNL research
in developing a high quality of northern
pecan and walnut cultivars. The fruit of
those efforts has turned into hundreds
of entrepreneur and production growers growing cultivar nuts. A Coop was
also formed called Heartland Nuts
N’More (HNNM) to handle the nut
processing and marketing of the products in Valparaiso.
It is never too late to start growing
cultivar nut trees. Local nut-growers
have planted one-year-old seedlings and
grafted them two years later, and some
of them had higher quality walnuts just
two years later. NeNGA holds several
grafting workshops each year for growers and several general meetings on subjects like scion wood distribution in order to propagate improved cultivars
through grafting techniques. Their next
grafting workshop will be held May 10.
More details will be published as time
approaches. If you have any questions,
please contact Stan Matzke or John
Knorr.

Way More Than Meets the Eye
Both images show Galaxy NGC 1512. The image on the left was made with visible light only.
The image on the right was made by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer in ultraviolet light. What
a difference! (Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/DSS/GALEX).
How’s your vision? Do you think
it’s perfect? Well, even with perfect
eyes, you are nearly blind. What
you see is just a teensy slice of what
is really out there in the world.
That’s because our eyes can see
only visible light. There are many
other kinds of light.
Some of the invisible kinds of
light are x-rays, ultraviolet light, infrared light, and radio waves. We are
so fortunate to have modern telescopes enabling us to “see” in all
these kinds of light. Pictures from
these telescopes show us a whole
new universe.
One particular telescope, the Galaxy Evolution Explorer, orbits high
above Earth in space. It sees the universe in ultraviolet light. This tele-
scope has revealed that many galaxies (huge groupings of stars) are
more than three times bigger than
they look in visible light! These galaxies have huge spiral arms that
stretch way beyond the visible
edges of the galaxies.
What is in these glowing ultraviolet spiral arms? And why don’t
they show up in ordinary light? The
arms are made mostly of young
stars. They are so hot they barely
put out any “cooler” visible light.
Instead, they glow in the more energetic ultraviolet light. So the Galaxy Evolution Explorer is a great telescope for studying where and how
new stars are born.
Why are new stars forming way
out there in the far reaches of the
galaxy? That is still a mystery. Astronomers can only guess right now.
But they are excited to see what
other surprises this galactic explorer
will bring as it surveys the farthest
reaches of the universe.
Find out more about ultraviolet
light and what we can learn from it.

Bennet Builders busy with March activities
The Bennet Community Builders
Association has scheduled several
events during the month of March.
All community residents are invited
to attend any or all in which they
may have an interest.
The regular meeting for the
Bennet Builders has been moved forward a week to March 13 due to
Maundy Thursday falling on their
regular meeting date. The meeting
will be in the Legion Hall and will
start at 7:30 p.m.
Next in chronological sequence
will be another of the ongoing Community Improvement Coffee Discussions to be held on Saturday, March
15, at 9:30 a.m. in Mamasita’s. Bennet Builders are sponsoring these
sessions to provide an opportunity
for residents to offer suggestions
on ways to make living in the Bennet community more pleasant and
productive. Past discussions have
been lively and positive.
Youngsters in the community will
enjoy an Easter Egg hunt to be held
at the Village Park on Saturday,
March 22 at 1:30 p.m. The Easter
Bunny is expected to leave ample
candies and eggs for children to enjoy finding with their friends in four
different age categories. All those
two years or younger will comprise
one group, preschoolers another,
kindergarten and first grade another, and all second, third, and
fourth graders will make up the final
group. In case of inclement weather,
the event will be moved to the
Bennet School Gym.
The last event for the month will
be another fundraiser featuring Bennet Burgers to be baked and distributed at the Bennet Community
Church on Saturday, March 29. An
advertisement in the Buck Ad section of the VOICE News has information on who to call to place orders for this highly popular bit of
local cuisine. All those who would
like to order Bennet Burgers are encouraged to place their orders soon,
as there are only a limited number
of them that will be available, and
orders will be accepted on a first
come, first served basis. When total orders have reached the level
that can be baked, sales will be cut
off.

Freeman students enter Youth Art Month Exhibit
FREEMAN SCHOOL
Emergency Preparedness
by Dr. Gary Hammack:
While we would all prefer to think
emergencies happen elsewhere, we
realize it is important to be prepared
as they can occur anywhere. The
Freeman Public School safety plan
includes the following emergency
procedures:
• Bomb Threat
• Disturbance
• Evacuation (Fire, broken gas/
water main, chemical spill)
• First Aid
• Hostage Situation
• Intruder in Building
• Lockdown
• Tornado/Earthquake
In some emergencies such as fire,
broken gas line, or chemical spills,
we need to evacuate the building
as safely and quickly as possible.
In other situations such as tornados or lockdown procedure, we will
seek safety in the building. We will
practice these to be confident in our
plans.
We know parents have questions and concerns when we experience an emergency. We do ask parents to not come to school, as it
means our personnel have more
people and issues to deal with.
We hope we will never need to
use these procedures and we will
always seek to improve our plans.
We are working with local resources
such as the rescue squad and fire
department, along with County and
State agencies. We believe by working together we are more prepared
and can react better, if an emergency
occurs.
We thank you for your overwhelming support and understanding in our most recent situation.
Your child's safety is of utmost importance.

grade. Two students are selected from each school by their art instructor to participate in
the exhibit. Students who are selected also get to be part of the Nebraska Department of
Education’s Visual and Performing Arts website exhibit. Evan Buss and Michael Andersen
were the two Freeman students selected to participate in this year’s Youth Art Month Exhibit.
Evan drew a Shelby Mustang in the media of value markers, and Michael painted with
acrylics a design based on a cartoon. The two pieces will be on display during the month of
March at the Nebraska State Office Building just north of the State Capitol in downtown
Lincoln.

Children need help preparing for college
What parents can do to enhance a child’s career path
With today’s choices in post-secondary education, many students
will want to pursue an education beyond high school to help them prepare for their future careers. A college education also can make a big
difference in a person’s income.
According to a January 2008 U.S.
Census Bureau press release, “workers 18 and older with a bachelor’s
degree earned an average of $56,788
in 2006, while those with a high
school diploma earned $31,071.” In
addition, “adults with advanced degrees earn four times more than
those with less than a high school
diploma. Workers 18 and older with
a master’s degree, professional or
doctoral degree earned an average
of $82,320 in 2006, while those with
less than a high school diploma
earned $20,873.”
So a college education is an important part of a child’s future. Preparing early is one way parents can
guide their children to success.
Throughout their education, students should strive for excellence.
Parents can help by encouraging the
child to develop good study habits
and to challenge himself or herself
when choosing classes and class
projects. In addition, students
should get involved in school and
community activities, particularly
those that encourage hands-on
to temptations. Eliminate the potential diversions of games and gadgets by setting up a workstation in
a quiet, minimalist space such as the
dining room. A large table can be
excellent for spreading out all necessary materials.
Make organization easy
Help kids get right down to business by making sure all essential
tools and materials are at their fingertips. Keep a supply of basics
handy;
highlighters,
blank
notecards and sticky notes should
be easily accessible on or near the
workspace.
You can enlist the help of hightech study aids such as the Fly Fusion Pentop Computer from
LeapFrog. Besides providing interactive step-by-step help for students
in a variety of subjects, it hosts an
onboard personal planner that kids
can use to keep track of upcoming
exams and assignments.
Additionally, when you take class
notes with this computer, everything
is automatically captured and can be
uploaded to the PC for easy management. Come test time, the homework
tool makes studying a breeze with a
search function that allows kids to
efficiently sort through all notes to
find exactly which are relevant. Learn
more at www.flyworld.com.
learning and career exploration.
Parents will want to record these
activities in a scrapbook or notebook, as well as awards and other
items of interest so students can
complete applications for scholarships and other honors and awards
in the future. As students enter
middle school/junior high school
and high school, it is time to more
seriously focus on what a student
can do each year to make sure he or
she is on a path to college success.
Is your child too young to be
thinking about a career yet? There
are still steps parents can take to
build a good study routine. Many
parents may be glad to learn they
can foster a positive studying environment without digging out their
old textbooks.
Here are some helpful tips:

Seventh Grade English
comes up with big ideas
By Jill Shea
For a pre-writing assignment, I
gave the seventh graders a
worksheet of statements to complete. Some of the responses were
so clever that I just had to share.
First I list the statements and then
the student responses.
If I were the teacher, I would...
“stay home and go to sleep.” “give
a lot of assignments and make them
suffer.” “tell all the people to be
quiet.” “quit my job!”
If I were president, I would...
“make war illegal.” “say that anyone over 10 could drive.” “bomb the
New York Giants.” “change the color
of the White House.”
If I could meet anyone, it would
be... “any WWE wrestler.” “R.L.
Stine.” “Avril Lavigne.” “Peyton
Manning.” “Brett Favre.” “Bill
Gates.” “John F. Kennedy.” “Amelia
Earhart.”
If I could be anything, I would
be... “a tree.” “a famous artist.” “a
horse trainer.” “a Bengal tiger.” “a
dog.” “a Great Dane.” “a rock.” “a
cat.” “a famous actress.” “a pro football player.” “a doctor.” “a
paintball.”

Sterling High School students
recently attended the 15th annual
Greater Southeast Nebraska Math
Challenge hosted by Peru State College. The students compete in individual tests, team tests and a math
quiz bowl. There was quite a range
of school sizes that attend this great
math competition. They are Beatrice, Norris, Fall City, Syracuse,
Palmyra, NC Lourdes, HTRS, Thayer
Central, Weeping Water, JohnsonBrock, Pawnee City, Sterling and
Southeast Consolidated. Sterling
competed in Division III, which includes the smaller schools. The Sterling Precalculus Team was Wade
Hunt, Jamie Erickson and Kaylee
Agena. The Sterling Algebra II Team
was Brandon Nieveen, Kella
Buchholz and Morgan Shea. The
Sterling Geometry Team was Willow
Hunt, Jese Salberg and Jake Wenzl.
The Sterling Precalculus Team and
Algebra II Team both took first place
in Division III, while the Geometry
Team came in second in Division III.
The individual winners were Wade
Hunt, who came in second in Precalculus Division III, and Brandon
Nieveen, who came in first in Algebra II Division III.
When Coach John Cockerill received the overall results he was
pleased with how well his Sterling
Math team competed against all the
schools, including the large schools.
“ We have very bright students at
Sterling, so it was not a surprise to
Presenting the victorious Sterling Math Teams. Back row (left to right): Jake Wenzl, Kella
Buchholz, Wade Hunt (holding up plaque), Jamie Erickson, Kaylee Agena. Front row (left to
right): Jese Salberg, Brandon Nieveen, Morgan Shea, Willow Hunt.

see our students score well against
students from small and big
schools. I was really proud of our
kids’ team test scores, where we
outscored every other team in Precalculus and in Algebra II,” he said.
Sterling’s Precalculus team test
score was 33 points with Weeping
Water next at 25, followed by Norris
at 24 and Beatrice and HTRS tying
with 19 points. The Algebra II team
test score was a 26 with Norris coming in second with 23, followed by

with 19 points. “It makes the students
feel good knowing they don’t have to
be in a big school to get a good education and many of the smaller schools in
this area offer that type of good education,” said Cockerill.
A few other notable performances were Wade Hunt tying for
fourth place out of 39 in all divisions
for individual test score in Precalculus. Brandon Nieveen tied for
third place out of 39 in all division
for individual test score in Algebra II.

VIDALIA ONIONS
Hand Harvested & Graded
$10.00/10 lb. Bag
The World Famous Vidalia Sweet Onion
Sesostris Shrine is promoting the sale of “World Famous Vidalia
Sweet Onions”. It takes nine months to grow these onions,
and therefore, only one crop is produced each year. The supply
is normally sold out in a six-week period between May & June.
These true Vidalia Sweet Onions will be shipped “Fresh From The Farm”
directly to the Shrine about the first week in May.
The Vidalia Sweet Onion is as sweet as a Valencia Orange, and the natural
sugar content is 12 1/2 percent. These unique characteristics combine to
make it a gourmet delight.
To place your order call Bill Bryant at 792-2255.
Leave your name, phone number and how bags of onions you desire.
The price is $10.00 per bag and can be paid for at time of pickup.
