The Holbrook Lions Club
hosted their annual Spouse’s
Appreciation Supper and
Awards Banquet on Tuesday,
January 19 at 630 p.m. at the
Holbrook Community Building. Special guest was Lion
Brad Keller, District 38-L
Governor from Eustis. Lion
Keller was presented a framed
picture of a lion created by
Mirandah Schaben, who is an
art student at Arapahoe-Holbrook High School. Keller had
a short speech after supper and
said he was very proud of what
this small club has achieved,
more than what most larger
organizations have accomplished. Coffee cups were used
as centerpieces with pictures
of early days in Holbrook as
well as a picture of the lion
designed by Schaben. Pictures
were applied to the cups by
Lions Bob and Kathy Trosper
with flower arrangements
by Arapahoe Floral. Roger
Schroeder supplied the original
pictures of Holbrook.
The Holbrook Lions Club
undertook a new project this
year. As we have all witnessed
disrespect, mistreatment and
abuse of Law Enforcement Officers throughout the USA, the
club members wanted to show
their support for those who
enforce the laws and protect
the community. Therefore, the
club invited Sheriff Kurt Kapperman, his officers and office
personnel and their spouses
to the annual Lions Club
banquet last Tuesday night
in Holbrook. Howard Davis
presented an office plaque to
Sheriff Kapperman as well as
a certificate to each member
of the Furnas County Sheriff’s
Department.

As Arapahoe’s wrestling
team experiences a banner
year and excites the town, it’s
still important to recognize
another group of competitors
bringing home awards for the
school: the quiz bowl teams.
The school has three teams:
elementary (coached by Amy
Clubine), middle school
(coached by Heidi Thomas),
and high school (coached by
Marcia Foley).
The high school team most
recently took second at RPAC
after a close-fought contest
with Cambridge. Cambridge,
an undefeated team, managed
to win on the last question.
The middle school team also
placed second at the Southern
Valley meet on January 11.
The elementary school team
competed in five meets. They
took third at their first meet
in Holdrege, did not place in
Cambridge, placed second
in Loomis, won first place at
Southern Valley, and did not
place at their final meet in
Holdrege. All of the teams
represented the school well
and made their coaches proud.
According to National
Academic Quiz Tournaments, LLC (NAQT), “Quiz
bowl is a game in which two
teams compete head-to-head
to answer questions from all
areas of knowledge including
history, literature, science, fine
arts, current events, sports, and
popular culture.” Quiz bowl
is widely accepted to have its
origins in World War II when
a game called College Bowl
was created as a USO activity
for US servicemen. It then became a radio show in the early
1950s and a television program in 1959. It has always
been primarily an activity
for college students, but over
the years adaptations have
been made to the questions
so it could be played in grade
school and high school as well.
I sat in for part of the middle
school’s morning practice on
Thursday, and one of their
questions was, “the Cumberland Gap runs through
Virginia, Tennessee and which
state?” Not an easy question to
answer when you can’t refer to
your cell phone for a map. The
answer is Kentucky.
Quiz bowl may not have the
flash of basketball or wrestling, but who knows? Maybe
one of these kids will be the

The long game on property taxes
By Governor Pete Ricketts
Last week, I delivered my second State of the State
address to the Unicameral, and then I went on the
road for 10 statewide stops to talk directly with
Nebraskans in South Sioux City, Columbus, Grand
Island, Hastings, North Platte, Sidney, Scottsbluff,
Alliance, Valentine, and Fremont. Not surprisingly, property taxes were the top issue again, but this time there
is an increased sense of urgency to see progress.
Many Nebraskans continue to be concerned about their options
as property taxes continue to rise. For example, Mary Lou in
North Platte showed me this year’s property tax bill. In 2015, her
taxes went up almost 36 percent year over year on top of a 20 percent increase from 2014. If property taxes continue to increase
at this pace, families like Mary Lou’s may be forced to sell land
their family homesteaded generations ago—just to pay their tax
bill. This isn’t just a rural or agricultural issue. Valuations are on
the rise for commercial and residential property as well. Many
Nebraska taxpayers are on fixed income and have no ability to
manage fast-paced valuation increases. In some cases, the American Dream of owning a home is becoming more difficult for
hardworking families. Statewide property valuations from 20032013 increased by about 77 percent. With ag land values rising
even more rapidly than residential, property taxes on farmers and
ranchers during the same time period increased by 137 percent. As a point of reference, property taxes make up about 40 percent of total taxes paid in Nebraska, while sales and income taxes
combined come out to over 50 percent.
Property tax valuations are based on a three-year rolling average of a property’s actual value. The rolling average is an attempt
to prevent dramatic increases based on an isolated economic
event. Practically, this also means that if values rise rapidly for
a couple years, and then level out or fall, the annually assessed
valuation may still increase during years three, four, and five until
the highest values are removed from the average. While we all
feel the pinch of increased property taxes, ag producers, who are
seeing a down trend in commodity prices, are still experiencing a
significant increase in property taxes each year. This reality has
families like Mary Lou’s facing the possibility of literally losing
their family farm. The economic pressure experienced by the ag
industry, which represents 25 percent of the Nebraska economy,
impacts all of us. Property taxes have been a major focus of my policy initiatives since I’ve had the honor of serving as your Governor. Last
year, we were able to provide $408 million in direct dollar-fordollar property tax relief to Nebraskans through the Property Tax
Credit Relief Fund, an over 45 percent increase from previous
budgets. While it was important to provide immediate relief, we
must do more.
It is a challenge for state officials to take on the property tax
problem directly because property taxes are imposed and collected by your local government including cities, counties, school
districts, natural resource districts, community colleges, and
educational service units. State officials are limited to determining the parameters for local collection.
This year, I’ve worked with Revenue Committee Chairman
Mike Gloor and Education Committee Chairwoman Kate Sullivan to propose a property tax relief package to make structural
changes and begin to provide long-term relief through fiscal
restraint. Our bill will tighten spending and levy limits and limit
the statewide aggregate growth of agricultural property valuations
to three percent.
The $408 million in direct tax relief in the budget the Legislature and I agreed upon is significant, but property tax relief
continues to be a priority because we can do more. My property
tax relief package encourages fiscal discipline, transparency, and
accountability in local government, while maintaining local control over budgeting decisions.
We are working on your behalf at the state level, but we need
your help at the local level. Here are a few suggestions for how
you can help support property tax relief for your community:
Consider attending budget meetings for local government and
share your property tax bill, urge fiscal restraint in budgeting, and
look for ways to achieve tax relief by lowering the levy. You can
find information about how to contact local government by visiting some of these websites:
· City: http://www.citytown.info/Nebraska.htm
· Community College: http://www.ncca.ne.gov/ncss/areamap.

· Natural Resource District: https://www.nrdnet.org/nrds/findyour-nrd
· School District: http://educdirsrc.education.ne.gov/CustomFinal.aspx
You may also contact your state senator to urge them to support
the property tax package introduced at my request by Chairwoman Sullivan and Chairman Gloor. You can find their contact
information at www.NebraskaLegislature.gov.
If you have any questions about how property taxes are levied
or the tax relief package we are working on this legislative session, please contact my office by emailing [email protected] or by calling 402-471-2244. I look forward to hearing
from you!
•Senator Dan Hughes, District 44
Two weeks ago,
you read about
the first three bills
I introduced during this session.
Shortly after, I
introduced
my
next three bills,
for a total of six. Wednesday,
January 20th was the tenth day
of this session and the last day
for senators to introduce bills.
Some senators introduced more
bills than I; some fewer. I am
happy with the set of legislation
which I have put forth on behalf
of District 44 in 2016. Here is a
short summary of my last three
bills this session:
LB 820 would allow Nebraskans to participate in pools
based on events in nature. The
impetus for this bill stems from
a community in Nenana, Alaska
which organizes a pool based
on the day, hour, and minute
that the ice on the Tanana River
at Nenana will break up. Residents and visitors from around
the world buy tickets, and the
person or group with the closest guess receives a share of the
money from ticket sales. The
organization which runs the
pool is a non-profit, and every
year the event generates hundreds of thousands of dollars
for many groups in the Nenana
community, including public
schools, senior centers, and libraries. LB 820 would allow
for a similar event to be organized in Nebraska.
LB 860 would allow cities and
villages to include grants and
loans under their economic development program, as long as
the grants and loans support the
construction or rehabilitation
of housing which is included
in a workforce housing plan. A
town which has a lack of housing, and no room for new workers to expand the workforce of
the town, could issue loans and
grants to remedy the situation
as part of the Local Option Municipal Economic Development
Act, also known as LB 840. The
program gives the town special
authority to use tax dollars to
improve their economy. This
bill will offer another vital tool
to communities in Nebraska
which face housing shortages
that hamper the community’s
ability to attract new businesses, or keep existing businesses
from expanding. Currently, six
cities and villages in the 44th
District take advantage of this
program.
LR 394 CA would propose an
amendment to the Nebraska
Constitution for the November
ballot, changing which government entities must be included
in Tax Increment Financing
(TIF). Currently, City Councils
have the sole decision-making
power, but this amendment
would allow other taxing bodies, like school districts, to have
their tax revenues exempted
from a TIF pledge. Such taxing bodies may see increased
expenditures as a result of the
TIF-funded
redevelopment
program, but wouldn’t see increased revenue for upwards of
fifteen years if they don’t opt
out.
Ricketts, some lawmakers want to put a lid on it, again
Capitol View
By J.L. Schmidt
Statehouse Correspondent
The Nebraska Press
Association
“What has been will be
again, what has been done will
be done again; there is nothing
new under the sun.” --Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NIV)
The governor and the Legislature are looking at the 2016
version of property tax relief,
which includes the use of lids
on spending, and property
value increases. Lids. Nothing
new here folks. In fact, it was
20 years ago when there were
three petition drives aimed at
substantially reducing or even
eliminating the use of the property tax in Nebraska. One made
it to the 1996 general election
ballot.
Thus began a multi-faceted
legislative approach to the
problem with the enactment of
bills and placement of two constitutional amendments on the
ballot from 1996 through 2000.
With some reservations, the
results were generally positive
in reducing property tax and restructuring state aid.
The property tax growth rate
was cut in half – from nearly
6 percent to less than 3 percent
-- by the property tax relief
measures passed by the Legislature beginning in 1996. This
was due primarily to increased
state aid to local governments
and tighter budget growth limitations.
State aid to local governments increased thanks to revenue growth in the income tax
and sales tax without increasing
either state tax rate. The whole
process was blessed by a period
of exceptional growth in the
economy.
But remember, “Most human affairs come down to depending on whose ox is getting gored.” Martin Luther is
credited with that paraphrase of
Exodus 21: 29-31 in the 1520s.
It is especially true in matters
of property tax. Farmers want
a valuation break on their vast
land holdings, but they also
want better schools to educate
their children. An estimated 60
percent of property tax dollars
statewide goes to public education. Can they have it both
ways?
Over time, levy limits have
been effective in some smaller
communities but less significant in reducing the level of
property taxation. If valuation
growth slows down and improvements are made in the
quality of assessments, the situation could change.
Governor Pete Ricketts
thinks the time is right – again –
for lids. He painted this picture
in his recent State of the State
Address: Commodity prices
are flat or down; corn is around
$3.50 a bushel, a significant
drop from the $8 a bushel price
in 2012; cattle prices are down
17 percent over the last year.
While farm incomes are subject
to fluctuations each year, property taxes go up and up, he said.
And that’s a threat to agriculture, the largest part of the state
economy.
The 2016 version of the lids
(in two governor-approved
bills) would tighten limits on
budget growth and levy increases for all local governments, and slow the rise in
government-assessed cropland
values. Ricketts calls them
tools to help local governments
control spending in light of the
$3.78 billion Nebraskans paid
in property taxes last year.
Remember, property taxes
are assessed and collected by
local governments using guidelines from the state. Ricketts
repeatedly says lowering property tax bills is his number 1
priority.
One part of the tax proposals would limit statewide aggregate growth in agricultural
land valuations to 3 percent,
and tighten levy and spending
limits that already apply to local governments. The governor
says that would trigger millions
of dollars in additional state aid
to school districts, anywhere
from $5 million to $40 million
next year.
The other part of the proposal would limit school district spending by restricting the
amount districts can stockpile
in their reserves each year and
how much potential budget
growth they can carry over

from year to year.
At least one tax policy think
tank says it is concerned about
unintended consequences of
the measure. And the executive
director of the Nebraska Association of County Officials says
property valuation increases
should also include a floor to
limit how much cropland values can drop. Larry Dix says he
worries that down years on the
farm could destroy some political subdivisions.
Numerous exemptions to
the lids have been allowed in
the last 20 years to account for
such things as court cases over
which local governments have
little control. Several high profile murder cases have stretched
the budgets of Nebraska counties. There are other examples
of emergencies from natural
disasters and the like.
While there doesn’t appear to
be a new approach, let’s just be
mindful of the vested interests
of those who are advocating
for or resisting the changes. Be
prayerful that cool heads will
prevail as solutions are sought.

read your meters until further
notice. There are three transmission improvement projects
that TVPPD will be working on
throughout the year, and LED
security lights and street lights
will be introduced into our service area.
Parts for mercury vapor security lights (MVL) have been
increasing in price over the
last few years as LED prices
have begun to drop. The federal government banned the
manufacture of MVLs in 2008.
TVPPD will begin to phase out
MVLs throughout our system
and replace them with LED

provide maintenance on High
Pressure Sodium lights that are
installed, but any new security
light that is added will be an
LED. Through a lot of research
and field testing, TVPPD feels
we have chosen the best LED
security light for our customers. LED lights are more efficient, should last about four
times longer than MVLs and
contain no mercury.

that you may have.

Holbrook Blue Jeans Extension club sponsors clinic
Furnas County Sheriff, Bill
Bennett and his deputy Robert
Upward, conducted a fingerprinting clinic, sponsored by the
Holbrook Blue Jeans Extension
Club, at the Holbrook school
Thursday morning. There were
73 students in grades kindergarten through 12th grade and
six pre-schoolers who took part
in the voluntary child identification fingerprinting program.
Child identification programs
make the difference when a
child becomes missing. Child
Identification Fingerprinting is
a way to help find missing or
lost children.
The number of “missing”
children in America is on the
rise. The problem is so serious that more and more parents
now worry that it could be their
child listed among the estimated one million American children missing each year, worse
yet, another two thousand are
found dead and cannot be identified. Although police can do
very little to prevent these disappearances, the often difficult
task of finding the missing children becomes their obligation.
The object of Child Identification Fingerprinting projects
are to provide parents, and only
the parents, with a ready record
of their children’s identification characteristics to give the
police if their child ever fails to
return home. This way police
are better able to have an accurate description of the missing
child as well as make positive
identification when the child is
found.
Child Identification Fingerprinting provides parents with
an opportunity to voluntarily
have their children fingerprinted on a special form, which
also includes space for other
pertinent identification characteristics.
No one other than the parents of the child, unless they
so state, will have possession
of this identification and it will
only be used by the authorization of the parents or guardian.
The completed forms were
mailed to the parents of the
Holbrook children Thursday
afternoon following the fingerprinting project.
Blue Jeans Extension Club
members who assisted with
the paper work were Jeannie
Broughton and Nancy Long
and the school secretary, Sandy
Long. The school principal,
Dan Olhrich, also assisted by
keeping a steady stream of students in line for the two hours
of fingerprinting. Sandy Long
and Nathan Olhrich helped the
children clean their hands after
they were fingerprinted. The S
& W store in Arapahoe provided the hand cleaner used in the
project.
Furnas County Sheriff, Bill Bennett, (left) and his deputy, Robert Upward were busy fingerprinting the youngsters at the Holbrook school last Thursday morning in a Child Identification project sponsored by the Holbrook Blue Jeans Extension Club in conjunction with the
sheriff’s department. Helping to oversee the project while her students were being printed
was Mrs. Sheryl Robinson, fifth and sixth grade instructor at Holbrook. The project is on a
volunteer basis and allows the parents to have their child fingerprinted if they wish to have
a copy of their child’s prints in case their child is ever lost or missing. (Observer Photo)

New additionn at S & L in progress...
An expansion project by S & L Service in Arapahoe is now in progress. All block work has been completed on the new addition and workers took advantage of a warm day late last week to erect the rafters and sheet the roof. The new addition is 36
feet by 50 feet in size and will allow Steve and Linda Pearson additional facilities for large trucks and tractors under cover
for repairs and cleanup. Pearson purchased the business from Jerry Busch a few years ago and the expansion project will
give the firm much needed additional shop space for their expanding repair program. (Mirror-Photo)

scored 18 points in the second
quarter to capture the lead before the half. Arapahoe could
not keep pace with Axtell.

win.

very well. Arapahoe shot 31

teams struggled from beyond
the arc and from the free throw
line. Arapahoe and Axtell both
shot below 50 percent from
the charity strike. There were

James Edward Mues, 82,
passed away early Tuesday
morning, December 29, 2015 at
Harney District Hospital.
Jim was born May 8, 1933
in Dalton, Cheyenne County,
NE. He was the second of two
boys born to Edward and Emily (Haussler) Mues, joining his
older brother, Max.
In 1938, Edward and Emily
moved their family to Idledale,
CO and then in 1940, the family moved to Derby, CO, where
Jim attended grade school and
high school. He graduated from
Adams City High School in
1951.
Following graduation, Jim
joined the U.S. Army and
served in Korea as a member
of the 5th Field Artillery. He
arrived in Korea shortly after
the truce was signed, and spent
much of his time driving jeep
for various commanders and
helping with South Korea’s reconstruction, participating in
building churches, hospitals
and orphanages. Jim was honorably discharged in April of
1955 and returned to the Denver, CO area.
It was in Denver that he met
and fell in love with Marcy
Ziegler, and on August 19,
1957, they were married. Over
the next seven years, they welcomed their children, Dave, Jalyn and Scott, and settled into
their home in Lakewood, CO.
In 1969, Jim and Marcy decided to move their family to
Burns, where they had bought
property the prior year. Jim began working in the woods for
Edward Hines Lumber Company, and during every break-up
in the spring, he would build on
to the home on Red Barn Lane.
Eventually, Jim began working
for the Edward Hines road crew
as “the powder monkey,” a job
he truly loved, and he was involved in the building of many
roads throughout the forests
Hines logged.
When the logging industry
began its decline in Harney
County and Edward Hines shut
down, Jim moved on to construction, working for William
Foster Construction and Harney
Rock and Paving.
In 1988, Jim was involved in
a serious trucking accident that
prompted his early retirement
from construction. Jim loved
spending time after school with
his grandchildren. In turn, Emily, Sarah, Dylan and Maggie
lovd keeping Grandma and
Grandpa on the run. Jim and
Marcy’s first great-grandchild,
Silas, was born in 2013, and
Silas’s sister, Quinn, joined the
family in 2014. Family was,
and continues to be, foremost
in both Jim and Marcy’s hearts,
and all were blessed to spend
this last Christmas together.
Jim is survived by his wife,
Marcy; his brother, Max and
sister-in-law, Rayta Mues of
Golden, CO; his son, Dave
Mues and wife, Debbie; his
daughter, Jalyn Thompson and
her husband, Jake; grandchildren, Emily (Mues) Johnson
and husband, Devin, Sarah
Mues, Dylan Thompson and
Maggie Thompson; his greatgrandchildren, Silas and Quinn
Johnson; his nephew, Dan;
and nieces, Marla and Trudy;
and the many friends he made
throughout his life.
Jim was preceded in death by
his mother, Emily Mues; father,
Edward Mues; and son, Scott
Mues.
Jim requested that no memorial service be held. In lieu of
flowers, Jim requested that contributions be made to the Ronald McDonald House of Central Oregon, his favorite charity.

the City Council. At the hearing, the
hearing officer shall mark and receive
