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. Open house, computers, superintendent on agenda The Plainview Board of Education will gather for its annual “noon meeting” at 12:30 p.m. on Monday, February, 8 to conduct normal business and hold the yearly building walkthrough. The meeting will be held in the Long Distance Learning room this month, and the majority of the agenda as of Tuesday, Feb. 2 has discussion items with three action items included. The action items are to approve membership for the school in the Nebraska Association of School Boards for the next year, to approve ESU #8 services for the same term and to act on renewing the principal’s contract. Discussion items as of Tuesday included: guidelines for attendance at coaches/activity sponsor clinics; discuss the open house planned for touring the old junior high building; review an initial draft of the school calendar; discuss purchasing new computers for students; discuss cooping activities and discuss the superintendent search and plans. The usual reports from the administration will also be heard. The meeting will be open to the public. The 2015-2016 Plainview Lady Pirate Bowling Team. Back row (l to r): Coach Dave Korth, Kailee Rafert, Brittani Pospisil, Devan Solomon, Jadin Doerr, and Coach Michael Holton. Front row (l to r): Daren Siep, Ashlyn Hoffart, and Becca Wills. Ten students from the Pirate Band competed at conference honor band. Students play in Pirate Bowlers to roll at state honor bands 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. Submitted Article 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 INSIDE THIS WEEK Wednesday Feb. 3, 2016 12 pages Volume 122, Issue 46 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.

WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED Read by more than 5,000 readers weekly! 2 Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press . . . – The First Amendment Opinion The Plainview News Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2016 Babbling Brook 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. Co Motor mpan • Body Work • Estimates • Tire Repairs • Oil Changes • FREE Vehicle Inspections 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 Association Award Winner 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 them that The Tonight Show was in Cancer Center, $600,000 for the Norfolk Johnny Carson Thegood hands.

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!” Source: Nebraska Alumnus Magazine, Recent News items. P.O.

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. For more information, please visit redcross.org.

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.

Main Plainview 402-582-4202 Bill Michael, R.P. 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.

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. • Heating • Air Conditioning • Water Conditioning • Furnace Duct Cleaning 402-586-2288 800-542-5640 [email protected] NOW HIRING SEASONAL EMPLOYEES We are looking for seasonal employees to join our CVA team in Royal, NE.

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.

Advertise Regularly In we’ve got you covered Classifieds By Phone (402) 582-4921 By Fax (402) 582-4922 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.

Call first to see if the center takes donations and what specifically it might need. The kids at my daughter’s day care really love the play kitchen, and can’t seem to keep those teacups and saucers in the play area. When we got rid of our daughter’s play kitchen, we donated all the food and accessories to the kids at the school, and they LOVED it!” — A.A. in Florida * When you need to hang something like, say, a frame, use this trick to get your nails in just the right place. Use a dab of toothpaste on the back of the frame where the nails should be. Press against the wall. The toothpaste will leave behind a superb guide, which can be wiped right off the wall after the nail is in. Hang and admire! * Like to play games on your smartphone?

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.
