ess than 1 percent

elite program.
Nebraska City Police Department Sgt. Chris Angus
was selected to go to the
10-week program and
graduated June 13 with
the 255th Session.
And while most of the
attendees have served 19
years or more in law enforcement and serve in executive-level positions, Angus has 16 years of experience and holds the rank of
sergeant. Angus said the
FBI only chose two to
three people in the
Iowa/Nebraska region.
"I was very fortunate to
get in this early," Angus
said. "I was very excited. I
was kind of in shock because I sent in the application in 2008. So it was
sitting in limbo for five
years."
NCPD Chief David Lacy
said being nominated into
the FBI National Academy
Program is the equivalent
of "winning the Oscar.
"I'm tickled to death
about it," Lacy said about
Angus' graduation. "I
think it's great."

base in Quantico, Va., he

coverage
ave you ever heard a
child ask, "I'm bored;
why is there nothing to
do?" A group of individuals are
in the process of answering that
very question.
The Optimist Club is a service
organization whose No. 1 focus is
to provide youth with activities,
events and projects to help them
grow and develop into responsible adults. Brenda Baumann is
one of the individuals trying to
bring the Optimist Club back to
Nebraska City.
"We're trying to provide involvement and a place to keep
kids out of trouble," Baumann
said.
The organization was an active
club in Nebraska City, but it fizzled out. The group of eight to 10
people are trying to rebuild the
organization after hearing about
the growing need of providing
positive outlets for children in
town.
"There's a need for an Optimist
Club in Nebraska City," member
Jason Holman said. "To make it
a more youth-friendly Nebraska
City."
In order for the Optimist Club
to become a chartered club it
needs more members. Past Gov.
of the Nebraska District of Optimist International Al Penner said
that the local club will need to
have 15 people in order to become
chartered.
"It's an effort to bring some
people together that are interested in helping youth in Nebraska City," Penner said.
Penner said that an ideal number of new members would be between 20 to 25 people.
On July 14, the group had an
informal discussion at Pizza Hut
to talk about what the organization can do for youth, and to get
the club started. They discussed
providing projects for children
during the evening hours or on
weekends.
"We were throwing ideas out
there to figure out what we can do
for the youth of Nebraska City. To
give them different avenues for
things to do in Nebraska City,"
Holman said about the discussion. "I think it went good. … It's
just a matter of getting members
involved and then also getting the
numbers up to make an organi-

Local leaders speak out about

tatements from Governor
Heineman in the past
week about the more than
200 illegal immigrant children
settling within Nebraska state
borders has added a greater
narrative to the topic of immigration reform in Nebraska.
In a press release from Gov.
Heineman’s office, he said he
will “continue to fight” for the
names and information of the
children and their sponsors.“I
can’t ensure that any illegal individual is not getting federal and
state benefits if I don’t know
who they are and if they are not
in our system,” Heineman said. “I
S
want to know who is going to pay
for the education of these unaccompanied alien children that
are being sent to Nebraska.”
Diversity in education and
commerce is what immigrants
provide southeastern Nebraska.
Community leaders in Syracuse and Nebraska City, Nebraska, said their small presence has positively affected commerce and business.
A lack of educational resources
for immigrant children has left
community leaders wondering
how immigration reform could
help these children, though.
Mayor Jack Hobbie of Nebraska City said that diversity is
the word that comes to mind
when he thinks of what immi-
gration has brought to the city.
He said Nebraska City currently has two Hispanic restaurants, a Hispanic grocery store,
two Chinese restaurants and a
Vietnamese restaurant that just
opened.
“They bring businesses to diversify us and commerce to help
keep us going,” Hobbie said.
“These places weren’t things you
saw here 15 to 20 years ago.”
Hobbie said in the past 20
years immigrants have come
mostly to fill jobs available at one
of the three major employers in
the area: Cargill, American Meter or Diversified Foods & Seasonings, Inc.

Avoca area farmer
recovering in hospital
Jim Brock
[email protected]
A man injured in a tractor accident Thursday
evening is recovering nicely in an Omaha hospital, his
wife said Friday afternoon.
Allen Hauschild of rural
Avoca was airlifted to
Creighton Medical Center
for injuries sustained from
"falling off " his tractor,"
according to his wife Paulene Hauschild.
The incident occurred
about 8:30 p.m., she said.
"He's doing pretty good,"
she said via telephone from
the hospital. "He doesn't
have any broken bones except some broken ribs. He
got his face and arms
skinned up pretty bad.
They're just going to watch
him for a few days, and the
ribs should heal themselves."
Fire and Rescue officials
who responded to the scene
could not be reached for
comment at the time of
this report.
Despite reports that
Hauschild was crushed by
the tractor, Paulene said
that wasn't the case.
"The tractor didn't run
over him," she said. "He fell
off the tractor, but he was
just lucky the tractor didn't
run over him."
Paulene said Hauschild
was attempting to get his
leg over the seat to apply
the brake when he fell.
Avoca, Manley and
Weeping Water Rescue
were among the agencies
that responded to the 911
call.

Local business challenges others to make monthly pledge
Melissa Sandfort
Special to the News-Press
r. Jeffrey Cumro,
owner of Nebraska
City Chiropractic,
is challenging other local
businesses to join him in
pledging a percentage of
monthly net profits to the
Nebraska City Community
Foundation Fund (NCCFF) to help reach their
goal of raising $500,000
for The Sherwood Foundation matching grant
challenge.
Dr. Cumro is donating
1.5 percent of his company’s
monthly net profits to the
NCCFF Unrestricted Endowment Account, having
made his first contribution
in June 2014, running
through December 2015
when The Sherwood Challenge ends.
If another local business
accepts the challenge, Nebraska City Chiropractic’s
pledge will increase to 2.0
percent, and if a THIRD
business joins in, the
monthly pledge will cap at
2.5 percent per month!

What about insects showing up in trees?
Gary Lesoing
Special to the News-Press
It appears several insects are showing up in
trees this year.
The oak lace bug is usually common in area, and
may be identified as feeding on your oak trees.
Healthy trees can usually withstand feeding from
oak lace bugs without
treatment with an insecticide.
Some people have seed a
few bagworms. They are
later than usual this year
and can be showing up on
coniferous trees and
shrubs, such as junipers,
red cedar, arborvitae and
spruce.
There are several types of
sprays that can be used
for control the bagworm
this time of year.
If you want to use something natural, BT is effective in controlling bagworms and can be pur-

chased as Dipel from most
garden centers. The small
larvae can be controlled
chemically by Sevin, Eight,
DeltaGard, Orthene or
malathion, among other
things.
Another pest very similar to an insect that is again
causing problems this
summer is the spider mite.
Spider mites are usually a
problem on some of the
cedar and spruce trees
each year. People have
seen them this year as well.
If left untreated, they could
kill a small evergreen tree.
Trees infested with spider
mites turn a yellow or
bronze in color.
Spider mites are very
tiny, being only about 1/50
inch when adults. Many
are web producing and will
coat the foliage with a fine
silk web that collects dust
and gives it a dirty appearance.
For control of the spider
mite, the use of horticul-

With summer in full
swing, the Southeast District Health Department is
reminding residents to protect themselves from possible West Nile Virus infection.
"People should definitely take precautions against
mosquito bites,” said Kay
Oestmann, Director of the
Southeast District Health
Department. “It only takes
one bite to infect you.”
Less than one out of 100
people bitten by an infected mosquito become seriously ill, but everyone
should be vigilant.
West Nile symptoms include flu-like symptoms
with fever, headaches, and
muscle weakness, however most of those infected
have no symptoms or only
mild flu-like symptoms.
The more serious compli-
cations from West Nile encephalitis include swelling
of the brain and associated
symptoms such as disorientation and paralysis.
To avoid mosquito bites,
the Southeast District
Health Department recommends:
n Applying mosquito repellent containing DEET,
picaridin or oil of lemon
eucalyptus
n Wearing long-sleeved
shirt, pants, and socks
n Avoiding going out at
dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active
n Eliminating standing
water to reduce mosquito
breeding sites
The Southeast District
Health Department is located at 2511 Schneider
Avenue,
Auburn, Nebraska 68305. For more information, call (877) 7770424 or (402) 274-3993 or

THE FORT
The debate on
‘border children’
stood one night on the
banks of the Rio
Grande in Texas.
I was concealed by some
underbrush and accompanied by the United States
Border Patrol. It didn’t take
long to see a person swimming across illegally—a
snapshot of America’s immigration challenges.
The latest crisis at the
border is a surge of children,
unaccompanied minors as
they are called in legal
terms.
Tens of thousands have
been caught attempting to
enter our country illegally.
Some have been placed
under surveillance in warehouses. Others have been
released. Very few have thus
far been returned home.
The border children come
from Central American
countries with stagnant
economies and ungoverned
space.
Desperate poverty in the
region, along with signals
from the Administration
about decreasing deportations, has created conditions that cause families to
risk sending their children
north.
Young boys and girls are
placed on trains or given to
smugglers known as “coyotes.”
Many then suffer terrible
abuse, falling victim to human trafficking and sexual
exploitation.
Most Nebraskans are
rightfully outraged by this
dramatic failure of our immigration policy. The question of how to properly care
for and deal with the children is under intense debate.
From my perspective, first
the President should immediately call up the National Guard to assist the
Border Patrol to bring the
situation under control.
Second, the message
needs to be clearly and continuously sent that persons
I

FORTENBERRY

arriving illegally will be
quickly returned.
Third, we must demand
that the governments of El
Salvador, Honduras, and
Guatemala set up the proper conditions for the repatriation of children and
adults, ensuring their safety and humane treatment.
Once the framework is set
and order is restored, we can
address the exceptional
needs of those who have a
just reason for asylum.
The First Lady of Honduras has said we want our
children back. I agree with
her.
Now we must fix this latest immigration problem so
that children are protected
and families are reunited.
On one of the committees I
have served, we have already begun working on the
proper procedures for repatriation and stopping the
flow.
America has always had a
vibrant immigration system, welcoming people who
are facing political persecution or dire hardship, seeking a new life with their
families.
But chaos and disorder at
our border harms our country’s ability to be generous
and is not fair to those who
follow the law.
About the new veterans designation
uly 1st of this year
marked another
milestone for veterans in Nebraska.
It was the first day
they could apply to have
a “veteran” designation
added to their driver’s license or state identification card.
This is a great way to
recognize and honor our
veterans.
On June 4, 2013, I
signed into law LB 93
which made the veteran
designation possible.
This law provides for
qualified veterans to register with the Nebraska
Department of Veterans’
Affairs to become eligible for the designation to
be placed on their license.
The veteran designation can be added to a
driver license or state
identification card at the
time of renewal with no
additional fee.
The statutorily mandated fee for a replacement license will be required for persons de-
J
GOV. DAVE
HEINEMAN
siring to add the designation at other times.
There are approximately 140,000 veterans in Nebraska, and
that number represents
many years of sacrifice to
our country.
Adding a veteran designation to the driver license provides an outward symbol of gratitude for their service.
Veterans who apply
and are issued a driver’s
license or state identifi-
cation card with the veteran designation will be
able to receive recognition from persons whom
they come in contact
with on a day to day basis.
Additionally, this past
legislative session, I
signed into law several
bills which honor the
men and women who
have served our country.
Legislative Bill 383
provides for military
honor plates to be issued beginning in January of 2016.
Legislation was enacted which will give
veterans preference
when seeking employment, provide in-state
tuition for recently separated veterans, provide
income tax exemptions
for portions of military
retirement, and provide
homestead exemptions
for some disabled veterans and their family
members.
Nebraska is proud of
its veterans and their
service to our country.
I encourage all Nebraskans to acknowledge and share their appreciation to veterans
when they see a driver license or state identification card displayed
containing the veteran
designation.
Veterans who want to
register with the Nebraska Veteran’s Affairs
Office, can visit www.veterans.nebraska.gov , or
by calling or emailing
the Nebraska Veterans’
Affairs Office.
Once they are on the
registry, they can apply
to the Department of
Motor Vehicles to have
the designation placed
on their driver license
or state identification
card.
To add the designation to a driver’s license
through the Nebraska
Department of Motor
Vehicles, please visit
www.ClickDMV.ne.gov .
The designation can
also be added at any of
the driver license stations across the state.
VIEWPOINT
Gay parents and well-adjusted kids
any of those who
oppose gay marriage couch their
arguments in the idea that
marriage is for procreation.
Point out that millions of
married couples — gay and
straight alike — who want
children cannot create them,
and most of them will invariably respond that adoption should only be an option for those seeking to
create “traditional” families,
because being raised with
two moms or two dads must
surely harm a child.
However, a new study —
the largest of its kind ever
conducted — finds the exact
opposite is true. Instead, it
finds, kids raised in samesex households are actually
more likely to be healthier
and happier. Researchers
at the University of Melbourne in Australia surveyed 315 same-sex couples
who parent a total of 500
children.
The resulting data
showed that children with
same-sex parents scored
about 6 percent higher on
family cohesion and general health, “even when controlling for a number of sociodemographic factors such
as parent education and
household income.”
And when it came to other factors, such as emotional health and physical functioning, there was no difference between those raised
in same-sex families and
M

opposite-sex families.
Dr. Simon Crouch, the
lead researcher of the study,
attributes the better social
cohesion score to a more
even distribution of work. “It
is liberating for parents to
take on roles that suit their
skills rather than defaulting
to gender stereotypes, where
mum is the primary caregiver and dad the primary
breadwinner,” he wrote.
While this latest study is
the largest of its kind, it is
not the first to be conducted, nor is it the first to find
that children are not
harmed in the slightest by
being raised by gay and lesbian parents.
In fact, when the American Academy of Pediatrics
came out in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage last
year, it rooted its argument
in an analysis of three
decades’ worth of data.
“More than 100 scientif-
$" ! ""
ic publications over 30 years,
taken together, have demonstrated that children’s wellbeing is affected much more
by their relationships with
their parents, their parents’
sense of competence and
security, and the presence of
social and economic support
for the family than by the
gender or the sexual orientation of their parents,” the
American Academy of Pediatrics report stated.
Ironically, it turns out
those who claim to be so
concerned about the wellbeing of children in samesex families may actually
pose the biggest problem
to them.
However, even then, according to the AAP report,
those kids showed resilience
“with regard to social, psychological and sexual health
despite economic and legal
disparities and social stigma.”
Benjamin Siegel, a professor of pediatrics at Boston
University School of Medicine and co-author of that
report, told the Washington
Post, “We’re never going to
get the perfect science, but
what you have right now is
good-enough science. The
data we have right now are
good enough to know what’s
good for kids.”
And what’s good for kids
is being raised in stable,
loving homes.
Period. Being biologically able to bear a baby doesn’t necessarily mean one is
fit to parent that child. Read
the news reports any day
and one is bound to find stories of horrible abuse committed on children by their
parents. Or just look at the
state of adoption in Tazewell
county, Illinois, where, according to Children’s Rights,
a national advocacy group,
kids spend an average of
about three years waiting in
the system for adoption ...
and some never find forever homes at all.
Sadly, of the 400,000
children in foster care, more
than a fourth of those —
101,666 — are awaiting
adoptions, if only homes
could be found for them.
Forty-two percent of those
were removed from their
homes before the age of 2.
It seems to me we should
be doing everything possible
to find these kids permanent
parents who will love and
nurture them, not trying to
prevent that.
Many same-sex couples
are willing to provide loving
homes, and they are just as
capable of doing that as any
other couples.
So if building strong, stable families is the true goal,
then it’s time that those who
have been so strenuously
objecting to same-sex couples raising children to instead turn their attention to
helping anyone who wants
to be a parent be one — regardless of whether that
person is straight or gay.
And if those people still

want to continue questioning parenting skills based on
the sexual orientation of the
parents, perhaps the focus
should shift to straight couples.
After all, accidental pregnancies don’t happen in
same-sex relationships, so
gay couples who have a child
choose to have one.
So doesn’t it stand to reason that the real threat to
kids is being born to parents
who don’t want them, or
aren’t equipped to raise
them?

ASK AMY
Set guest rules right away
DEAR AMY: My wife’s friend
has been staying with us for the
past four months. She took time
off to work on some stressful
career issues and deal with her
depression.
We welcomed her, never
asked for rent and allowed her
to borrow our cars, eat our food,
use our utilities, etc. We offered
our shoulders to cry on. We
didn’t expect her to stay so long.
We are aware it is our fault
for not setting boundaries at
the beginning. She has been
to only one counseling session
but seems well enough to travel
several hours for dating and for
vacations almost every week.
We regret not putting down
more concrete agreements
and feel we are being used,
but feel guilty asking. She very
dramatically reminds us of her
depression when we try to talk
about how her being in our
house is starting to wear thin,
especially since we are expecting
our first child.
My wife and I finally asked

DEAR GUILTY: The best way to
help someone (depressed or not)
who comes to stay is to say at
the outset what the parameters
are, and then be patient with
the houseguest but also certain
about your first obligation —
which is to your own household.
If you are able, it is best
to offer this hospitality free
of charge; charging rent can
actually make it harder to get
someone to leave after she has
overstayed her welcome.

about four weeks, shine a light
on your own accomplishments.
Update your bio and your portfolio.

argument. The next four weeks
are about partnerships. Craft your

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Use
your imagination as you enter a
four-week busy phase. A shattering
illusion could get awkward. Don’t
over-extend.

IMMIGRATION
that regards.”
Gould said Nebraskans
in these smaller communities have a sense of
neighborliness who want
to build a great community.
She said that is why
many immigrants are attracted to Nebraska – they
can create a community
for themselves and their
families.
She said education is always a positive and a negative whenever a new population arrives in a community, though.
Dr. Jeffrey Edwards, superintendent for Nebraska
City Public Schools
(NCPS), said if immigration reform could bring
anything to the city it could
be more funding for English Language Learners
classes (ELL).
Edwards said each student brings a set of unique
challenges.
A good example of this is
when a Mandarin family
moved to town and the
school district didn’t have
access to a Chinese translator.
“The Mandarin student
really threw us for a loop,”
Edwards said. The four
Nebraska City schools –
Northside Elementary,
Hayward Elementary, Nebraska City Middle School
and Nebraska City High
School – have two fulltime teachers and two
paraprofessionals who divide their time among the
four schools.
Edwards said there are
12 current immigrant children enrolled at NCPS.
The public school system
only gets $7,000 per year
from the federal government from a No Child Left
Behind grant to help provide ELL classes for these
children.
Edwards said many of
the kids come from countries, like Honduras and
Guatemala, where children
are only expected to go to
school until fourth or fifth
grade.
“Sixteen or 17-year-olds
who come in could be at a
way lower grade level because of this educational
difference,” Edwards said.
He said many of them
start taking elective classes right away, like gym and
art class.
All of them have to take
English as a Second Language classes before entering a regular classroom,
though.
A big portion of the ELL
resources comes from a
state-aid formula, too.
Every year NCPS has to
write an English proficiency plan that helps the
state determine how much
money to allocate to the
public school system.
Edwards said the money
allowance ranges from
$80,000 - $100,000,
which allows them to hire
the ELL teachers and paraprofessionals.
The unique perspective
and diversity immigrants
bring to classrooms has
given an overall positive
impact to the schools and
community.
Although, an inability to
provide fully for the immigrant children has left
Edwards and other community leaders entertaining the idea that immigration reform could bring
more resources to the
schools.
“One of the things we are
required to do as a public
school is educate everyone that comes through
our doors,” Edwards said.
“Our job is to continue to
educate them – immigrant
or non-immigrant, legal
or illegal.”
Continued from Page 1
fathers,” he said. “Our
forefathers came and then
a brother or sister followed because of job opportunities, and they
eventually
established
themselves in the community.”
Other cities in the region, like Syracuse, haven’t
seen a great impact from
immigration.
Carolyn Gigstad, executive director of the Syracuse Area Chamber of
Commerce, said Syracuse
has seen little to no increase in immigrants.
“I can’t foresee immigration reform affecting
Syracuse unless we have
bigger industries coming
in,” Gigstad said. “Who’s to
say we won’t get those industries in the future
though and really need immigrants to help?”
A 2012 study from the
Midwest Immigration Task
Force found that immigration to rural areas had
a 57 percent growth from
2000-2010.
Becky Gould, executive
director at Nebraska Appleseed, a Lincoln-based
nonprofit that advocates
for equal opportunities for
every Nebraskan, said immigrants feel more at
home in these rural communities.
“The way we look at immigration for our state as a
whole is that in some of the
rural areas we are looking
to attract people to be contributors to the community,” Gould said. “Immigration has been positive in
Fernando Dominguez wins at FCCLA Nationals
Tammy Partsch
For the News-Press
ebraska City Middle School introduced FCCLA to
its students for the first
time this past school year,
but one participant is already receiving national
recognition for his work
in the chapter.
Fernando Dominguez,
who will be in 8th grade at
NCMS in the fall, is one of
the founding members of
the Middle School FCCLA,
which stands for Family,
Career, and Community
Leaders of America.
With a focus on service,
the Middle School chapter
was created to feed into the
Nebraska City High School
chapter already established.
Dominguez was interested in the STAR Project
competition sponsored by
FCCLA.
The optional competition stands for Students
Taking Action with Recognition. For his project,
Dominguez created a website for the Middle School
FCCLA chapter.
“I’ve always been good
with
computers,”
Dominguez said. “Designing a website was one op-

tion they had.”
Dominguez wrote most
of the text for the website,
drawing on the national
FCCLA organization for
general information about
the institution.
After the website was
built, Dominguez and the
FCCLA advisor, Michaela
Vestecka, submitted it to
the FCCLA headquarters.
It was evaluated and
deemed good enough to
send Dominguez to a national competition in San
Antonio early in July.
“They gave me some feedback, so I tweaked a few
things before going to San
Antonio,” Dominguez said.
Vestecka said FCCLA
uses the website design
project to recognize participants who use a chapter
website to educate, inform,
and involve members and
the general public about
the importance of the family and consumer sciences
program.
Dominguez, the son of
Jose
and
Debbie
Dominguez, and his family
spent July 6-10 in San Antonio.
Dominguez attended
leadership classes at the
FCCLA conference, but also
took time to visit the River
Walk and SeaWorld.
His big moment came,
however, when he presented his website to a panel of
judges.
“I had five minutes to set
up, ten minutes to present,
and then five minutes for
questions,” Dominguez said.
“I spoke really fast because
I was nervous. It went well,
though.”

Two days later, the results were posted and
Dominguez learned he
earned a 94% on his website, a high enough score to
receive a gold medal.
“I was astounded!”
Dominguez recalled. “I didn’t know what to think.”
Dominguez’s parents
were also overwhelmed.
“Words cannot describe
how proud we are of him,”
Debbie Dominguez said.
Vestecka was proud of
her student as well.
“Fernando competed in
the junior level but was the
only student from Nebraska, out of both junior and
senior levels, and all events,
to achieve a gold score!”
she said.
Dominguez said he
thinks his score would have
been even higher, but one
thing the judges were looking for was information on
past activities. Since this
was the first year for the
Middle School chapter, he
had nothing in the past on
which to draw, limiting his
ability to get full credit for
that portion.
Dominguez, who plays
tuba in the band and is
learning bass guitar, said
he will continue to work
on the website and plans to
link it to the Nebraska City
Public School website.
“I want to redo it on a different web builder to make
it even better,” he said.
As for a STAR project for
next year, Dominguez is already thinking about doing
a written project.
Debbie Dominguez said
one neat thing about the
whole process that touched
her was the support their
family received from the
school and the public.
“We didn’t know where
the funds would come from
to send him to Nationals,”
she said, “but we had a few
fundraisers and received
some nice donations from a
few people and local organizations.”
Debbie Dominguez said
there was some money left
over and that has been given back to the Middle
School’s FCCLA chapter for
future events.
Fernando Dominguez
said his favorite memory
of the trip to San Antonio
was a moment he had just
prior to giving his presentation.
“I was waiting to walk in
and just said to myself, ‘you
can do this – just give it your
all,’” he said. “I just had to
do the best I could do.”

NC bounces back at area
Kirt Manion

After falling to Wahoo in the
opening round of the Class B-1
Seniors tourney at Plattsmouth,
top seeded Nebraska City bounced
back with a win over Springfield
on Saturday, thanks in large part to
the heroic efforts of Kestyn Lee.
Lee pitched two innings of hitless relief and struck out three during the Wahoo game.
He came back Saturday with a
nine-inning effort as Nebraska City
edged Springfield, 3-2.
Lee threw 123 pitches against
Springfield, struck out 11, walked
just three and allowed two runs,
one earned, on two hits.
“You can’t ask a starting pitcher
to compete harder than Kestyn Lee
did today,” said Coach James
Widoe.
“He was just a workhorse.”
And Nebraska City needed all

braska City broke the tie with a run
in the top of the ninth.
Hitting wise, Nebraska City got
four hits for the game, one each by
Bret Kochanowicz, Lee, Chris
Monaghan and Noah Kasbohm.
Jacob Martens reached base and
scored a game tying run and later
drove in the game winning run.
Gabe Sammons also had an RBI.
Kasbohm and Lee scored the other
runs for Nebraska City.
As much as the first round defeat stung for Nebraska City, Coach
Widoe said the victory against
Springfield was the kind of win
that can change a team’s tournament fortunes.
“I think this was 360 degrees in
the opposite direction,” Widoe
said.
The coach went on to say that,
with the way his pitching lines up,
the Nebraska City team is still very
much alive to win the area tourney
and advance to the state event.
An improvement in offense
would definitely help Nebraska
City’s fortunes.
Coach Widoe said the problem
.%62:01%22
for his team on Saturday boiled
down to a combination of wind
and turf.
The wind made it hard to drive
the ball through the air for base
hits. And, with the infield being artificial turf, ground balls can be
easier to field.
In response to that adversity,
Coach Widoe said the team continues to reinforce the confidence
level of the hitters as they work toward having a break out performance.
Wahoo 5, NC 1
An effectively wild performance
by Wahoo pitching keyed its victory over Nebraska City.
Bladen Bales, the Nebraska City
starter, pitched five innings of fivehit ball, struck out six and walked
three. Of Wahoo’s five runs, only
two were earned.
In response, Wahoo allowed one
hit and one run and struck out five,
but also walked eight batters.
Bales had the lone hit for the Nebraska City offense. Gabe Sammons scored the team’s wone run.

Born in a ghetto on
the east side of
Manhattan in 1922,
Paul’s rags-toriches story began
with his stuttering
problem and low
self-esteem as a
child. His mother
was the main
cause of his
problems, as she
constantly belittled
him and told him
that he was no
good. To make
matters worse, he
also had polio as a
child.
Paul Wilchin,
though, was a man
of many diverse
talents. In addition
to being an
inventor, he was
also a hypnotist, a
practitioner of
acupuncture and a
very successful
entertainer. In fact,
it was his work in
TV for which he is
remembered. He

through volunteer foster
homes,” said Schroeder.
“Most people assume Nebraska City has an animal
control facility or a Humane Society, when in fact
it does not.”
Schroeder said the lack
of a facility does present its
problems as the group often gets calls daily from Arbor Valley Animal Clinic
about unclaimed strays.
“After three days, the pets
are euthanized,” Schroeder said. “We are always in
need of foster homes to
care for these pets while we
match them with a home.”

said
Farmer.
The1contest runs from July
25-August 6, with voting
stations set up at each Nebraska City bank. Twelve
dogs are featured; the public votes with money and
the dog who raises the

The winner of the Cutest

In addition to the Doggie

According to the the FBI

years or older and in excellent physical condition, have
excellent character and integrity, view law enforcement as a public service,

Law enforcement officers
who attended the 255th Session with Angus were from
46 states, the District of Columbia, 17 international
countries, six military organizations and five federal
civilian organizations.
"A lot of it's refresher
skills. The biggest thing that
I took away from the training was the networking of all
of the other law enforcement officers that were
there," he said.
Lacy agreed that being
able to network with other
law enforcement officers
around the world is a valuable asset that officers
who've attended the academy can bring back to their
home departments.
"Networking is a great
thing. Chris not only has
contacts nationwide, but
has contact with people
worldwide," he said.
Lacy and Angus are in a
category all of their own
because both have graduated from the FBI National
Academy.
Just like Angus, Lacy was
also a sergeant when he
graduated from the 177th
Session in 1994. He said
Nebraska City is fortunate to
have had two officers who've
graduated from the program.
"I think it's a wonderful
example that Nebraska City
has a great police department," he said. "I'm proud of
Chris. I'm proud of my participation in it and I think
that Nebraska City should
be proud that they had two
officers that have participated in the program."
Angus said the opportunity to graduate from the

hard for him to leave his
wife, Stacy, and two daughters - Taylor, 19, and Kirstin,
17.
"The hardest part was
just being away from my
family for 10 weeks," he
said. "I met a great bunch of
guys … but it can't replace
being away from your wife
and kids."
Angus is a 1990 graduate
of Nebraska City High
School and former Marine.
As a Marine, he began vol-
unteering for the military's
police training. It was then
that he became interested in
a law enforcement career.
He remembers his commanding officer asking him
during an exit interview
what he would like to do as
a civilian.
After being honorably discharged, Angus got married and moved to Arizona.
He was working as a professional golf assistant and
