show this
weekend
The Plainview FFA Boosters and
volunteers will be hosting the fifth-annual farm and home show this weekend on Saturday, Feb. 6 at the
Plainview Public School.
In a bit of a new twist this year, in
addition to the more than 40 vendors
signed up, the FFA group will be hosting a free hot potato bar for those taking part in the show by visiting the
vendors.
The Show will run from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m. in the Pirate Auditorium, and will
feature vendors of all kinds – “vendors
and sponsors to interest everyone,”
from the flyer.
Participants will receive a ticket
when they visit a vendor, which will
allow them access to the free hot potato bar and entry into drawings, as
well as tickets if they purchase something from a vendor, which will enter
them into additional drawings.

On Saturday, Jan 30th Class D1 Districts were held in Plainview at the
D&K Lanes with teams from Plainview, Humphrey, Clarkson-Leigh and
Newman Grove participating.
Starting at 10 a.m. with girl’s competition, Plainview immediately flexed
their muscles showing why they are the
top team in Class D, said Coach
Michael Holton.
The format for the Districts was simple in that the girls bowled three regular
games and then five baker games and
total pins would determine the winner.
The first game, the girls rolled a 637
with Brittani Pospisil rolling a 173 and
Devan Solomon rolling a 170.
In the next game, the girls rolled a
539 slipping a little with Brittani leading
the scoring with a 163. In the final individual game, the girls got back on
track rolling a 612 with Kailee Raefert
rolling a 184 and Becca Wills contributing with a 177.
“The one thing that I reminded the
girls is that this needs to be a team effort
and all of the girls rolled well today,”
said Coach Michael Holton.
In the five Baker’s games, the Plainview Lady Pirates completed the day
with a 2,543 in total pins outdistancing
runner-up Newman Grove who rolled a
2,329.
“Newman Grove is the defending
state champions in Class D and the
Plainview girls put on a clinic today. I
hope that they continue to focus the
same way when they go to state,” said
Holton.
The girls who will be going to state
to represent Plainview will be Brittani
Pospisil, Kailee Raefert, Devan
Solomon, Becca Wills, Jadin Doerr and
Ashlynn Hoffart.
The boys’ competition started at 2
p.m. with the same teams competing
but Plainview struggled in the meet.
In individual action, the boys rolled a
475 in the first game with Kenny Hart
leading the way with a 137. In the second game, things did not get much better as the locals rolled a 497 with Kenny
Hart once again leading the way with a
138, said Holton.
In the third game, the Pirates rolled a
484 with Lane Campbell rolling a 137.
Fortunately, the boys did step it up in
the team Baker’s format to roll a total
pin count of 2,162 to place third just
ahead of Newman Grove. Humphrey
St. Francis won the districts managing a
total pin count of 2,488.
Boys who will be traveling to state
competition will be Lane Campbell,
Zach Sims, Kenny Hart, Klay Cash,
Logan Campbell, Troy Donner and
Jaden Wingert. Other boys on the team
are Carter Scott, Brady Scott and Jacob
Lingenfelter.
State bowling will be held in Lincoln
on February 13-14th.
Both the boys and girls will compete
at state at Sun Valley Lanes in Lincoln
starting at 3 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.
If the team makes it to state finals they
will be played on Sunday, with girls
Class D at 9 a.m. and boys Class D at
10:15 a.m., which will also be held at
Sun Valley.

The month of January has been
a busy one for many of the band
students at Plainview High School.
On January 23, 10 students performed for the conference honor
band that included 16 schools at
Wayne State College.
There was a ninth- and 10thgrade band conducted by Wayne’s
percussion professor, Mr. Brad
Weber, and an 11th and 12th grade
band conducted by Dr. Michelle
Bluford from Elkhorn South High
School.
The students were busy with
chair placements as early as 8 a.m.
that morning.
If they got first or second chair
in their section they received a
medal from the conference. Many
students had to practice for this
ahead time. Plainview Band was
proud to take home five medals.
The Plainview students included
Micah Williams, second chair percussion; Kaydi Daudt, second
chair tenor saxophone; Brittani
Wacker, first chair baritone saxophone; Jordyn Anderson, first
chair baritone and Karissa Eichberger, first chair flute.
“Overall it was a great day and
we can’t wait until next year,” said
Band instructor Tessa Jacobsen.
The following weekend, on January 30th, Wayne State College
held their honor band.
Klariss Norris was chosen to
play flute in the junior high honor
band.
“This was exciting news considering there was 676 auditions!”
said Jacobsen.
Overall, there was three bands
that were represented by 75
schools.
To finish with the latest news,
Plainview has had five students
who auditioned for Class C All
State Choir and Band and were accepted.
Out of 444 auditions, 289 students were accepted.
Chosen from Plainview were
Brittani Wacker and Austin Choat
perform in the Symphonic band,
and Klarissa Norris, Becca Kment,
and Ashlyn Ickler perform in the
Junior High Band on March 19 at
Kearney High School.
“If you see these students
around anywhere be sure to acknowledge them on their huge accomplishments,” said Jacobsen.

Garbage pickup changes for Plainview
With the change in garbage collectors for the City of Plainview,
customers should be aware of different pickup days than they’re used
to, beginning with Tuesday, Feb. 2.
At a special meeting last week,
the City Council agreed to accept a
bid from Bud’s Sanitation of Newman Grove for trash collection for
Plainview customers, ending a collection service history by Bessmer
Garbage, now Aschoff Garbage.
Justification for the change was
presented as mainly a difference in
pricing between the two bids received, approximately, $57,000 annually from Bud’s and $77,000 from
Aschoff’s. The bids were both based
on approximately 531 residential
pickup locations and 64 business locations. With tipping fees excluded,
a new change in the contracts.
Historically, the tipping fees the
City of Plainview charges at the
transfer station had been one of the
more debated pieces of the contract.
The contract stipulates that if the
tonnage fluctuates upward by more
than 20 percent the collector can ask

to renegotiate charges, and the same
if the tonnage goes downward the
City can renegotiate.
The contract was approved for a
five-year term. Aschoffs were serving on a month-to-month basis for
the last number of months, utilizing
an older contract for basis.
In regard to businesses that had
been picked up more than twice a
week, it was discussed that they
would have to increase their storage, or make other arrangements,
until the second pick up can occur.
With the change, those residents
on the east curb of First Street and
all residents east will be picked up
on Tuesdays, and those residents on
the west curb of First Street and all
residents west will be picked up on
Fridays. Pick ups will be done in the
early hours of the morning, indicated by the service representative
saying at the special meeting, that
they would typically want to dump
at the transfer station in town
around noon each day.

Downward Spiral
There’s something fascinating about “rubbernecking.”
Rubbernecking, of course, being that indescribable urge to watch something completely ruin itself. We use the term most often when driving past accidents or scenes of distress. Instead of watching where your car is going,
you’re looking at the scene outside your window.
Facebook helps with this quite a bit.
You can rubberneck from the comfort of your own computer, without actually having anyone know that you’re evening doing it.
I’ve talked before about how silly it makes people look sometimes to read
their direct comments, I’ve participated and made myself look a bit silly
sometimes, too. It’s our nature.
I found a great article last week that talked about how journalists and especially new journalists aren’t prepapred, and can’t keep pace with the consuming hole that internet journalism produces. People can consume
information almost faster than it can be created at times, and new journalists
are getting burned out with that rate of consumption.
We’re producing more and more crummy work, faster and faster, and the
actual writers that I know, the ones that got into journalism to produce information, not just fill space, can’t handle the heat. I couldn’t either, that’s
why we have a very limited production of “internet information.”
What I always find entertaining however, is the absolute tenacity of people to prove that they are more than willing to discuss issues that they haven’t
researched hardly at all. This isn’t anything new - but on the same token as
generating useful content, people are ill-prepared to be constantly bombarded
with ignorant opinion as well.
It’s one of those rubbernecking situations. You’ve got to distance yourself
from the issue a bit. Can you imagine if people would not only rubberneck
and watch something happen, but throw their comments out the window as
well.
You’re driving past a car accident and someone pokes their head out the
window and says “I knew that guy was always a drunk” or “she’s such an
idiot for texting and driving.”
Often times I catch myself making comments that I haven’t fully considered, and writing, rewriting and then eventually deleting all together rather
than show an ugly side with a quick response. It brings out the worst in us.
I’ve noticed a gradual shift toward acknowleging and even encouraging
that bad behavior. I suppose it goes back to the early days of immediate selfgratification. Good things come to those who wait, and all that.
See how Snickers (tm) did that to you? Now instead of waiting, they
shovel you two King Size bars for the price of one normal sized one and
gleefully count their money while you consume enough calories in 10 minutes that should last you all day and then chortle happily as you join their
gym-partner-side-business to lose the weight you can’t understand how
you’ve gained.
Take a step back, take a breath and remind yourself how you’d like to be
treated as well.”
“Let’s Talk Garbage”
By: Michael Holton
City Administrator
This past week, the council opened
up two sealed bids from two garbage
providers in Aschoff and Bud’s Sanitation.
The contract with Aschoff garbage
had expired and by all legal practices,
Request for Proposals (RFP’s) were
sent out or picked
up by garbage
collectors. As a
service Aschoff
has been extremely good for
Plainview
and
they were a local
service that all of
us in the community appreciated.
Ron Bessmer
and his crew were diligent and provided excellent service for a great
many years. The bids were opened up
and Aschoff bid the contract for the
next five years based upon the base
price of approximately $77,000 while
Bud’s Sanitation bid roughly $57,000
per year.
Because the council is bound by
certain legal criteria upon selection,
they were obligated to choose the lowest bid. Through diligence, several
questions were asked of the new
garbage hauler to make sure that the
city of Plainview would be served.
After much deliberation, the council chose Bud’s Sanitation.
For the record, Bud’s Sanitation is a
reputable garbage hauler and has been
in the business for more than 30 years
with 17 clients or municipalities in the
area. I don’t think that there was anyone that wanted to see the garbage
service change in Plainview but reality
is this is what had to be done or other
repercussions could have been worse.
I have heard customers come in and
lament regarding the loss of local
business and how the city screwed up.
First of all, neither the city council
nor the city staff screwed up as their
hand was forced. Local preference
can be given in a bidding situation
when the bids are close and the opportunity is there to keep the service
local. When the bids were $20,000
apart, the financial responsibility of
the city to the taxpayers of the community must be considered carefully.
That is what was done.
Now moving forward there will be
several growing pains for both the
customer and the city itself. The new
service will provide two pick-ups per
week for commercial customers and
once a week service for the residential
customers that reside in the city limits.
The actual dividing line of the service will be based upon the east and
west halves of the town. First Street
will be split down the middle with the
east curb going east picked up on
Tuesdays while the west curb of 1st
Street going west will be picked up on
Fridays.
Routes are being determined and
there will be a responsibility for both
the customer and the contractor.
Commercial customers will be picked
up either twice a week or once a week
depending on the amount of garbage
present.
If there are customers that do not
get their trash picked up, please call
the city offices where we will compile
a list so that we can relay the information back to Bud’s Sanitation so they
can correct the problem.
We will also have flyers and phone
numbers at the city offices that you
can call yourself if you wish to change
the way the garbage is being handled.
If you are in need of a tote or a dumpster, you can also call Bud’s Sanitation
and they will sell them to you at cost
and deliver them as well.
The key in this discussion for all
citizens of this community is to remember that we all wish Ron Bessmer
and Jim Aschoff the best of everything
and no one wanted to see them go but
this happens when you are bidding
jobs or materials out.
The city also does the same thing
when we bid out for general liability
insurance or other services as well.
We use both Madison County Bank
and Midwest Bank for our business
depending on the interest rates. Technically, Midwest Bank is our City
repository but competition for the
business is based upon what is best for
the community in terms of dollars.
We use the bidding process when
we sell land, equipment, rent land,
build a new library, etc.
Plainview will continue to go forward and we will all make it through
this change.

A blizzard posting reported snowfall of up to or over 12 inches hit Plainview Monday evening and continued through most of the day Tuesday,
putting the community on limited activity through the day.
Law enforcement, emergency personnel, government agencies and all
encouraged little or no travel because of whiteout conditions most of the
day. More to follow in next week’s News.
“Johnny Carson U. of N. Benefactor”
At the University of Nebraska, in the
years right after WW II, one, John Carson, who in those days went by the name
of Jack Carson, was definitely a BMOC
(Big Man On Campus). A Navy veteran, he didn’t throw his weight around,
and he wasn’t involved in campus politics, but never-the-less was a fellow that
everyone recognized, and felt as if they
knew him.
Once, while I was in high school, in
Plainview NE, my dad took me to a
Chamber of Commerce banquet, where
Jack Carson, from nearby Norfolk, was
the entertainment. He told a few jokes,
but his main thing at that show was his
magic, for which he was introduced as
“The Great Carsoni.” He was very
good, and folks talked about that show
for some time afterward.
Jack’s notoriety at the U stemmed
from his work in campus productions.
He was a popular Master of Ceremonies
at the Kosmet Klub shows. He was the
first male to ever emcee the female NU
Co-ed Follies (for which he dressed in
drag). He was also the organizing force,
and star of his Phi Gamma Delta (Fiji),
Kosmet Klub skits. In 1947 the Fijis
won first place in the fall revue competition with their skit, “She Was Only a
Pharaoh’s Daughter, But She Never Became a Mummy”. In that skit Jack was
hilariously alluring as Cleopatra. (Note:
Jerry Solomon, from Culbertson, also a
major donor to the U. of N, was a friend
of Carson’s. Jerry was a piano major and
provided musical arrangements for
many of Carson’s skits. In the years
since he has been called back to the University whenever there have been tributes to his friend.)
In those days Jack worked part time
for radio station KFAB, which had its
studios in a downtown Lincoln building
(before moving to Omaha in 1948.) I
had a part time job as an elevator operator in that building on the weekends and
had a casual acquaintance with Jack and
the other people who worked at KFAB.
He was a friendly fellow, and I appreciated it when he got me tickets for one of
the Fiji shows. (They were very popular and tickets went very fast.)
I saw Carson once more. In 1962 he
was the entertainer for the National Retail Bakers Convention in Philadelphia.
He had just been named as the new host
Nebraska Press

on NBC’s The Tonight Show, replacing for Public Power companies, and Logan,
Jack Paar. I remember people asking me where John’s grandfather had served as
about his taking over that show, his ties mayor.
Carson maintained a strong relationto Nebraska and whether he’d be able to
replace a star, the magnitude of Jack ship with Norfolk, with donations of
Paar. I had no hesitation in assuring $2.7 M to build the Carson Regional

Items received after 10 a.m. on Tuesdays will be used as time and space permit.
Following Carson’s death in 2005 the
University received $5 M from the Carson estate for the endowed support of
programs in theater, film, and broadcasting at the U. Those funds established the Johnny Carson School of
Theater and Film at the Lied Center, and
broadcast programs at the School of
Journalism and Mass Communication.
Carson, besides being among the
highest paid performers in TV, was always an active investor and entrepreneur, not always successful, ie: He was
one of the major investors in the DeLorian (futuristic) car. In the 1970s Carson
created the Carson foundation. As so
many things in his private life, it was not
known how large this foundation was,
but he regularly added $1 M or $2 M to
it each year. In 2010 his heirs added a
whopping $156 M to the foundation.
In 2011 and 2012 the U received gifts
totaling $2.3 M from the Foundation to
create the Carson Scholarships, for Nebraska high school graduates to study
theater and film.
In November 2015 the University officials announced that NU had received
a $20 M donation from the Carson
Foundation. That money will be used to
transform the former Nebraska Book
Store, which the U. had purchased in
June, into “The Johnny Carson Center,“
an academic program and facility focused on interdisciplinary learning, creativity, and research in emerging
media—-a one of a kind facility among
American Universities.
To date The Carson Foundation has
bequeathed some $33 M to the University
At the time of his contribution to
transform the Temple Building at NU,
Carson said, “I got my start in the Temple Building and have never forgotten
the impact of my academic studies at the
University of Nebraska on my life and
career. It is my hope that this gift will
enable future generations of theater and
film students to learn their craft in the
Temple Building, which will enable
them to pursue their goals, just as I did.”
In 2016 those words apply to the entire
University as well. So, I join with all
Nebraskans in a heartfelt, “Thanks
Johnny for the Memories and The Millions!”

NEWSBRIEFS
Major Sonja Caballero, daughter of Judy VanOstberg of Osmond, recently accepted the
Inspector General position over the
190th Air Refueling Wing in
Kansas.
She officially became a Kansas
Coyote when she was sworn in on
December 14. Caballero transferred from the 141st Medical
Group at Fairchild Air Force Base
in Washington, where she most recently held the position of chief
nurse of clinical operations.
In her civilian job, she works as
a health system specialist for the
office of Inspector General for veterans affairs in Kansas City where
she frequently travels to VA hospitals and clinics performing healthcare inspections and hotline
investigation cases.
Caballero is married and has
three children, aged seven, 10 and
13. Her husband is active duty Air
Force and currently stationed at
Hill AFB in Utah, planning to retire on Feb. 1.
She started her full-time Guard
position on January 11.
American Red Cross
taking donations, Feb. 10
Every day, patients across the nation rely on blood donated through
the American Red Cross. Nearly 5
million need blood transfusions every
year.
Donors can help the Red Cross
meet patient needs by giving blood on
Wednesday, February 10, from 9:00
a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Plainview High
School in the Tartan Gym.
Members of FCCLA, FFA, and
NTHS will be calling past community
donors this week to set up donation
appointments. To make an appointment to donate blood, simply call 1800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767),
visit redcrossblood.org, or contact
Ronita Jacobsen at Plainview High
School (402-582-4991).
All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A
blood donor card or driver’s license
or two other forms of identification
are required at check-in.
Individuals who are 16 years of
age, weigh at least 110 pounds and are
in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. Students who
are 16 years of age are required by the
Red Cross to bring a completed
parental permission form. This form
may be picked up from Ronita Jacobsen at the High School or e-mailed to
donors.
“Accident victims can require up to
100 pints of blood, but they aren’t the
only people who rely on blood transfusions.” Said Tricia Quinn, CEO of
the Red Cross Midwest Blood Serves
Region. “The blood you donate
through the Red Cross can also help
cancer patients, organ transplant recipients, premature babies and many
others.”
The blood supply is particularly
vulnerable during the holiday season
because donors travel and spend time
with family and friends and may forget to schedule a donation appointment. Because red blood cells have a
shelf life of only 42 days, it is vital for
those eligible to give blood regularly.
The American Red Cross provides
shelter, food and clothing to victims
of disasters; supplies more than 40
percent of the nation’s blood; teaches
lifesaving skills; ministers international humanitarian aid; and supports
military members and their families.
The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers
and the generosity of the American
public to perform its mission.

A Creighton author has just finished production of her newest
book, “Some Northeastern Nebraska Barns and the Pioneers that
Built Them,” featuring 23 northeast Nebraska barns and their histories.
Joan S. Kershner of Creighton,
has been working on the book
since 2012, and, through her introduction, said she produced the
book to “preserve a bit of history
of the old barns in Knox County,
and other close-by northeast Nebraska counties, plus one across
the Missouri River in Yankton
County, S.D.,” and “the book is intended to identify a number of old
barns and the families who built
them.”
The book boasts 23 barns, published in with full color pictures
throughout, with extensive history
about their construction, ownership, use and current owners, including
family
histories,
recollections of the barns original
purposes and detailed explanations
about the features of each specific
construction.
The barn chapters include: the
Adams Barn, Carpenter-Nelsen
barn, Dartman barn, Doerr barn,
Falter-Frisch barn, Fuchtman barn,
Gardner Barn, Green Gables,
Horstman-Fischer barn, LaPesh
barn, Lyon-Neyens barn, Milne
barn, Nelsen-Rice barn, PortzlineCarpenter barn, Schroeder-Shelton
barn, Stokes barn, Tenney barn,
Thomassen-Wilmes barn, Ulrich
barn, Van Brocklin barn, WagnerWilmes barn, Wilmes barn and
Wilson-Meikle barn.
Additionally, the book includes
numerous pictures of old farm machinery that Kershner found interesting along her travels and an
extensive glossary of terms used
and defined in the book.
Kershner said she intends to
have the books for sale at the
Creighton Historical Center in
Creighton, and also available
through direct mail by contacting
her daughter in Creighton, Mary
Jo Kershner, at 1402 Bryant Ave.,
Creighton, NE 68729 or 402-9290566.
Hardcover and softcover books
are available, with a limited firstprint.
Kershner, now 92, said she already has plans for another book
in the works, retelling local recollections in a short-story format.

Healthy Heart Habits: Life’s Simple 7
As you started into the new year, did you resolve to have healthier habits? Many people do. But a
long-term study found that Americans are not doing as well as they were 20 years ago in maintaining a
heart-healthy lifestyle.1 And that increases their chances of having a heart attack, stroke, or heart disease.2
Life’s Simple 7. In the study, the percentage of Americans who met all these heart-healthy lifestyle
goals—what the American Heart Association calls Life’s Simple 7—dropped from 8.5 percent to 5.8 percent:
• Eat a balanced diet.
• Be active.
• Manage your weight.
• Don’t use tobacco.
• Maintain ideal levels of blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure.
Best for women. In the past, it was thought that hormones protected women from heart disease
until menopause. Now we know that’s not the case. But two recent studies show that there may be subtle
differences in what’s best for women and men.
In one study, women who followed these six habits cut their risk of heart attack by a whopping 92
percent.3
• Don’t smoke.
• Maintain a normal body mass index (BMI).
• Exercise—moderately to vigorously—at least 2.5 hours a week.
• Watch no more than seven hours of TV each week.
• Drink no more than one alcoholic beverage each day.
• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and fish or omega-3 fatty acids. Limit
sugary drinks, processed and red meats, trans fats, and sodium.
Even women who adopted just one or two of these healthy habits lowered their heart risk, with a
normal BMI having the greatest impact.
Best for men. A Swedish study tracked 20,000 men and found that men with the following habits
cut their risk of heart attack by 86 percent:
• Don’t smoke.
• Eat a healthy diet.
• Drink no more than two alcoholic drinks a day.
• Stay physically active, for example, walking or cycling at least 40 minutes a day.
• Maintain a waist circumference of less than 37 inches.3
For men, healthy diet and moderate drinking appeared to have the most impact on reducing their
heart risks.
Know your numbers. So where should you begin? One place to start is to know your numbers.
That includes blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure—as well as your weight. The next step is to
talk with your doctor about ways to improve.
I can also give you tips on tracking—and improving—these critical numbers. For example, if you
want to track your blood pressure at home, I’ll advise you on how best to do that. Remember: High blood
pressure is a “silent killer,” so the only way to know whether or not it’s lurking is to check it.
In fact, nearly 30 percent of Americans have high blood pressure. And, nearly half don’t have it
under control with either lifestyle habits or medication.2 If your doctor has prescribed blood pressure medication, be sure to take it. For some people, that’s the only way to keep it at bay.
Nothing herein constitutes medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, or is a substitute for professional advice. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other medical professional if you have questions or concerns about a medical condition.

Pirate grapplers finish in
top four at home invite
The Plainview Pirate wrestling
team hosted their own annual invitational this past Saturday, Jan. 30, taking on 15 other teams from around
the area, and winning fourth overall.
The Pirates pulled together 113
team points for the local tournament,
placing them behind champion Battle Creek’s 214.5, Creighton’s 158
and Wayne’s 141.5. Crofton-Bloomfield finished in fifth, place with 107
team points. Other participating
schools were Norfolk Catholic, West
Holt, Randolph, Osmond, LaurelConcord/Coleridge, O’Neill St.
Mary’s, Ponca, Grand Island Central
Catholic, Lutheran High Northeast,
Hartington Cedar Catholic and Niobrara/Verdigre.
Coach Dean Boyer said that he
chose Christian Miller and Cole
Aschoff as the “wrestlers of the
meet” this week.
“Christian Miller pinned his way
through a bracket that had a state
champion and a 3rd placer in it. He
is wrestling very well with a lot of
confidence,” said Boyer. “Cole
Aschoff defeated Simons from Battle Creek in the finals. Cole lost to
him the first meet of the year. I don’t
think Cole has ever wrestled better.”
The Pirates will compete again at
the Clearwater invite this Friday,
Feb. 5, barring any weather issues,
and then will prepare for the District
tournament to be held on Thursday
and Friday, Feb. 11 and 12.

The Plainview Lady Pirates played in
three games at the end of January –
against Hartington, Randolph and Winnebago, updating their record to 9-10 on
the season.
In the team’s latest game, against
Winnebago at Emerson, the Lady Pirates faced some stiff competition, being
outscored the first half 13-9 and 14-11
to enter the halftime break trailing 2720. The third quarter the Winnebago
girls kept on the pressure, outscoring the
Pirates 19-11 and again in the fourth 1914 to take the win over the Lady Pirates
65-45.
Brittany Waldow scored a big 14
points to lead the Lady Pirate offensive
effort. Catie Williams posted eight
points, Nikki Mosel had seven points,
Jasmine Zuhlke had five, Jordyn Anderson marked four, Caitlyn Hart had three,
Caiti Ziegenbein had two and Ashlyn
Hoffart had one.
The Lady Pirates will face off against
O’Neill’s Lady Eagles at home on Tuesday, Feb. 9 and then against Creighton
on Friday, Feb. 12 on the road before beginning sub-district play.
Vs. Randolph
A loss at home was the result of a visit
by the Plainview Lady Cardinals on January 28 against the hometown Lady Pirates, bringing the team’s record even at
9-9 on the season.
“The Lady Pirates played battled hard
for four straight quarters, playing intense
defense and working the ball down low
to their posts,” said Coach Heath Anderson, “Ultimately, the three point
shooting from Randolph was too much.”
The Lady Pirates maintained an even
game throughout the first half, posting a
9-8 and 7-7 first two quarters for a halftime break leading by one 16-15. In the
second half, however, the Cardinals
turned up the heat, outscoring the Lady
Pirates 25-16 from a 23 point game from
Katelyn Backhaus of Randolph, mentioned by Anderson.
The Lady Pirates took a close loss to
the 12-2 Lady Cardinals, 40-32.
Vs. Hartington-Newcastle
The Plainview Lady Pirates notched a
loss against the Hartington-Newcastle
Wildcats on Tuesday, Jan. 26 on the
road, 36-13.
At the half, the Lady Pirates trailed
16-6, and the Wildcats pushed that lead
by another 13 in the third quarter to tie
down the lead and take the win 36-13.
Jordyn Albin had five points to lead
the team. Brittany Waldow had three,
Nikki Mosel and Jasmine Zuhlke each
had two points and Jordyn Anderson had
one.

Two wins were marked for the

On Jan. 26 the team played

Plainview had three big quarters
that the Wildcats were unable to respond to, 11-7, 24-6 and 16-2 to

Matt Hoffmann had a big game
with 12 points. Alex Hader and
Austin Choat each posted eight
points. Micah Williams and John
Novicki had six points each, Keaton
Eichberger had three and Brandon
Pellatz marked one.
In the team’s second game
against Randolph the margin was
closer, but the Pirates still won at
the final buzzer.
Plainview led through the first
two quarters of play, but the Cardinals held the team scoreless in the
third quarter to close the gap. The
Pirates marked the win 18-17.
Matt Hoffmann again led the
team’s scoring with nine points.
John Novicki had three and Brandon Pellatz, Alex Hader and Micah

Purple Pirates finish out
season in a “big way”
The “Purple Pirate” third and
fourth-grade girls’ basketball team
ended its season in a big way by
achieving first-place in their league
bracket on Sunday, January 31 in
O’Neill.
Members of the teams this year
were Teya Boyer, Madelynn
Dougherty, Abbie Kromarek, Brooke
Rafert, Katie Mauer, Stella Schroeder,
Kayci Daudt, Roni Prewitt, Baili Prewitt, and Ashley Wacker. Coaching
the girls were Brittany Waldow and
Caiti Ziegenbein.
The team first took on West Holt
White and defeated the opposition 6-
4.
High scorer was Teya Boyer with
four followed by Brooke Rafert with
two. “The girls hustled the entire
game and their best asset was definitely their defensive skills,” said
Coaches Waldow and Ziegenbein.
In the championship match up, the
girls played against West Holt Blue,
who had previously defeated the
“Purple Pirates” in overtime earlier in
the season.
The team came out fired up and
ready to play, and the Pirates captured
their first place victory with a score of
8-4.
Leading the girls in scoring was
Teya Boyer with four and Madelynn
Dougherty and Abbie Kromarek each
with a bucket.
“Rebounding and ball control were
the factors that helped the girls come
away with their win,” said Coaches
Ziegenbein and Waldow.
“The team played very aggressively throughout the entire season.
All of the girls improved their basketball skills and learned that teamwork
and practice is very important. We
enjoyed coaching the girls,” said
Coaches Brittany Waldow and Caiti
Ziegenbein.

Tilt-Out TV
Q: My mom and dad were among
the first in Chicago to own a television
set. It was an Emerson Model 608 console with pop-up screen. I have inherited it, and its unusual design must
mean that it is worth more than just a
few dollars. — Carl, Naperville, Illinois
A: Your television was introduced in
1949 and was, as you claim, quite unusual. I would, in fact, consider it a
classic. It had a 16-inch tilt-out screen
that could be hidden when not in use. I
have checked with two serious collectors, and they seem to agree that your
set is worth somewhere in the $400 to
$600 range depending, of course, on its
condition.
Q: I have three issues of “Marge’s
Little Lulu” comics, Nos. 39, 81 and
123. Are they worth keeping? — Betty,
Springfield, Ill.
A: According to most of the guides I
consulted, they are worth a minimum
of $100 each in good shape. As with
most collectibles, condition is paramount. The value of a comic boils
down to several factors, including condition, scarcity and demand. A good
place to monitor the value of comics is
eBay.
Incidentally, your issue No. 39 also
features another popular cartoon character, Witch Hazel.
Q: I have an old paper recording by
Rudy Vallee with his picture on the
blank side. Is it worth much? —
Donna, Wiers Beach, N.H.
A: Your record was issued by Hit of
the Week and was sold at news stands
beside the latest copies of Liberty, Saturday Evening Post and Punch. The
recordings, which featured such popular entertainers as Eddie Cantor and
Duke Ellington, sold for about 10 cents,
making them extremely affordable.
Your Rudy Vallee recording is worth
about $5 in good playable condition.
Incidentally, the main drawback of
these products is that they had a tendency to curl.
Q: I have a political poster of
Richard Nixon that was used in 1948 to
promote his congressional campaign in
California. It is in fairly good condition,
and I have been offered $200 for it.
Keep or sell is my question. — Carol,
Orange County, California
A: Take the money and run. Your
poster generally sells in the $50 range.

cultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act (AFIDA) reports with the
FSA county office that maintains
reports for the county where the
land is located.
“Failure to file a report, filing a
late report or filing an inaccurate report can result in a penalty with
fines up to 25 percent of the fair
market value of the agricultural
land,” said Waterman.
For AFIDA purposes, agricultural land is defined as any land
used for farming, ranching or timber production, if the tracts total 10
acres or more.
Disclosure reports are also required when there are changes in
land use. For example, reports are
required when land use changes
from nonagricultural to agricultural
or from agricultural to nonagricultural. Foreign investors must also
file a report when there is a change
in the status of ownership such as
the owner changes from foreign to
non-foreign, from non-foreign to
foreign or from foreign to foreign.
Data gained from these disclosures is used to prepare an annual
report to the President and Congress concerning the effect of such
holdings upon family farms and
rural communities in the United
States.
For more information regarding
AFIDA and FSA programs, contact
the Pierce County FSA office at
402-329-4996 or visit the USDA
website at http://www.usda.gov.
