The September City Council
Meeting involved appointment
of a new member, making zoning
changes for the proposed truck
stop and further discussion on
ATVs and UTVs on city streets.
The council also worked
through extending library hours,
insurance, and abandoned properties.
Orville Gigstad was appointed
by Mayor KC Ortiz to fill the open
City Council seat that was created when Lynn Lyon resigned last
month.
He will serve out the remaining
two years of Lyon’s term. The rest
of the City Council approved the
appointment at the regular September meeting.
The council continued discussion on an ordinance allowing
ATVs and UTVs on city streets.
According to state law, golf
carts are not allowed on streets except those adjacent to the course.
The city, by law, cannot allow
them in any other capacity. Operation of ATVs and UTVs, however, are determined by the city.
They discussed acceptable driving age, inspections, what to do
about lost stickers, revocation,
and fees associated with the permit.
It was decided that the permit
will be $15 annually. If the decal
is lost or unreadable, the owner
will need to pay $15 to replace it.
It is non-transferable (if a new ve-
hicle is purchased, for example).
In licensing the ATV/UTV,
owners will need to provide proof
of insurance and have a brief inspection of working lights, flag,
and muffler.
It is yet to be determined if the
sheriff’s office or the city clerks will
take on this responsibility.
The original suggestion on driving age was 20. Otoe County
Deputy Mike Holland strongly
agreed with that age.
However, city council members and Mayor Ortiz were all in

The company has been drilling
near Elk Creek for a rare metal

Right now, they are in the planning and analysis phase, but the
company believes there’s a high
probability of a large mine that
would bring hundreds of jobs to
the area.
Niobium is mainly used in the
form of Ferro-Niobium to produce

Otoe County Commissioner Tim Nelsen of Talmage announced that the
property and real estate
tax levy has decreased for
the upcoming fiscal year.
"The tax levy has been
lowered again this year,
which makes this the sixth
consecutive year of lowering the levy in Otoe County," Nelsen said.
Depending on the value
of properties and real estate, some Otoe County
residents may see an almost 2-cent decrease in
taxes for the upcoming
year.
Otoe County Commissioners adopted the 20142015 proposed budget during its meeting Tuesday
morning.
Last year the tax rate for
property and real estate
was 32 cents. This year the
rate is 31 cents.
The proposed property
tax that is estimated to be
collected for the upcoming
year is $6,311,872.40. Last
year's property tax request
was $6,019,444.99.
Residents who own a
$100,000 home for instance will be paying $308
in property and real estate
taxes.
The proposed budget
that commissioners approved and adopted for the
upcoming year is projected
to be $21,550,781.76. Over
$15 million of that amount
is projected to be used for
the general and road budgets. Last year's projected
budget was $19,270,617.65.
County clerk Janene
Bennett said what was actually
spent
was
$13,985,588.04.
After the budget was
adopted, Commissioner
Carol Crook discussed the
results of the Household
Hazardous Waste collection that took place on Aug.
22 and 23 by the Red Willow Road crew at the Otoe
County Road Shop.
Crook wasn't satisfied
with the number of people
from Nebraska City who
disposed of household hazardous waste at the collection.
"I was little disappointed
that Nebraska City on a
Saturday, we only had 22

but if you look at the paint

from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Syracuse residents will
also get to participate in
the take-back event on
Sept. 27. The drop-off will
be located at Syracuse City
Hall, located at 495 Midland, from 10 a.m. to 1
p.m.
Schebaum said drop-off
occurs twice a year, April
and September, to give residents a safe way to dispose
of medication.
"It keeps drugs from going down the drain. It
keeps them from ending
up in the water system,"
she said.
Once the medications
are dropped off at the locations, the Drug Enforcement Agency then
collects and incinerates
them, bottle or container
and all.
Schebaum said people
can keep medications in
their original bottles or
packages. She said some
people tend to tear off their
names on the labels, however it's not necessary because the DEA burns the
medications and the drive
is anonymous. She said
people could also put their
medications in a bag or
container.
According to a press re-
lease from the Partners for
Otoe County, over 650 of
unwanted and unused
medication has been disposed of since October
2010. This event was created to provide a safe, convenient and responsible
opportunity to dispose of
prescription drugs and to
also educate the general
public about the potential
abuse of medications.
Otoe County Sheriff 's
Office Chief Deputy Mike
Holland said the drop-off
provides an "excellent opportunity to safely dispose
of unused drugs," which
helps keep them off of the
streets and reduce prescription drug abuse.
"That's really the main
focus of the prescription
drug take-back program,"
Holland said.
Schebaum said needles
aren't allowed to be
dropped off and any type of
aerosol or compressed air
medications, such as inhalers, are also not allowed.
The Prescription Drug
Take-Back program was
made possible with a grant
from Region V.

hauling hazards out to the
collection site to boost participation.
"Maybe we could try to
make a neighborhood collection and have that stuff
ready to go for the Saturday
morning on a Friday afternoon," Freshman said.
Commissioners
approved purchasing different sizes of corrugated metal tubes from Metal Culverts of Lincoln as a backup supply for future road
construction projects. Metal Culverts had the lowest
quote of $18,976.20.
The commissioners also
approved purchasing corrugated metal tubing from
Contech of Lincoln for
$19,015.50 for a road project on R and 54th roads.

nificant," Crook said.
Commissioner Steven
Lade disagreed with Crook
about the number of people
who showed up for the
event.
"I think that it indicates
that we're in the right direction that we're getting
less people because the
people took care of it over
the last few years, and then
they don't have any more at
home," Lade said. "It is my
opinion that we're doing
good with that."
Crook asked commissioners for suggestions on
how to get the word out
about the annual household hazardous waste collections.

Mayor Tomas “KC” Ortiz addressed the Syracuse Chamber of Commerce to give a status on
the city’s accomplishments
and goals for the future.
A larger-than-typical
group of Chamber- members gathered at the library for the regular September meeting to hear
his comments as well as
information about the
possible Niobium mine in
Elk Creek.
The City has completed
several projects recently.
They have continued to
work closely with Zito Media and their general manager to improve the cable
service to Syracuse, and
the complaints have been
significantly less. The water tower was cleaned and
painted inside and out.
A date has not been finalized, but the library
will soon have extended
hours on Thursdays.
An electrical project is
under way to move lines
underground and put the
city on a grid system.
Power outages have been
caused by squirrels chewing the lines.
Without a grid, this affects more homes than
necessary.
They have completed a
remodeling project at City
Hall. Soon, an open house
will be held for members
of the community to come
in and see the improvements.
The sound system on
Main Street was also upgraded and it has been
working great.
Looking forward, the
City continues to work on
obtaining a “Leadership
Designation.” This will
allow Syracuse to apply
for grants. Specifically,
Mayor Ortiz wants to pursue a grant for rebuilding
the pool house, among
other things.
A comprehensive plan is
being completed by JEO
Consulting, and he requested assistance from
the Chamber of Commerce in completing this
plan and applying for
grants.
The Chamber of Commerce was also asked to
partner with the Agricultural Society in bringing
events to Syracuse in relation to their new arena at
South Park.
Budgets have just been
completed by City Council, and Mayor Ortiz was
pleased with the process.
He said most were under
budget this year, and they
knew where they stood.
The whole budget process
has continued to improve
and become more streamlined in the last several
years.
Peggy Hobscheidt has
served as Syracuse City
Clerk for 27 years, and
she has decided to retire.
There will soon be a transition time as she passes
on her workload.
Mayor Ortiz is happy
with the City’s strategic
plans moving forward.
“We are thriving and
growing; we are fortunate
to live in Syracuse and the
community we interact
with.”

OPPD looks to
reduce power
plant
emissions
The Omaha Public Power
District has taken another
step aimed at reducing
emissions at its coal-fired
power generating plants.
At its regular monthly
meeting for September,
the OPPD Board of Directors authorized management to begin negotiations
to eventually enter into a
contract to purchase Dry
Sorbent Injection (DSI)
and Activated Carbon Injection (ASI) equipment for
Nebraska City Unit 1, North
Omaha Unit 4 and North
Omaha Unit 5. The authorization will allow the District
to investigate all potential
equipment supply options.
The equipment is necessary to allow the generating units to comply with
emission standards imposed by EPA’s Mercury
and Air Toxics Standards
(MATS). Those standards
limit emissions of mercury
and other air toxics from
power plants. Earlier this
year, OPPD approved a
plan to retire 3 of the coalfired units at North Omaha

The things I think
I know
Alvin Guenther
Special to the News-Press
n Damian Fowler’s
“Falling Through
Clouds” he speaks of
Monsignor James
Habiger who had proclaimed, “We’re not interested in legislating
morality, but we’re interested in the morality of
legislation.”
Fowler also quoted Paulo
Freire’s ‘Pedagogy of the
Oppressed’, “As long as
the oppressed remain unaware of the causes of their
condition, they fatalistically ‘accept’ their exploitation and they are apt
to react in a passive and
I
debtedness to right this
upside down economy,
there are still aspiring
politicians that identify tax
cuts for the job creators to
create a level playing field,
create jobs and get our
economy back on track as
their number-one priority.
I swear, it’s like the middle Miocene geologic
epock.
An era, in spite of their
inevitable death, the animals continued to return
to the same old mud holes
of Nebraska’s AshFall State
Historical Park in an illfated attempt to relieve
the suffocating effects of
volcanic ash.
I would like to ask these
Is it morally right to create public
policy increasing the bottom line of
higher income earners while middle
and lower income earners are
struggling just to make ends meet?
alienated manner when
confronted with the necessity to struggle for their
freedom and self-affirmation.”
My last op-ed addressed
the latter issue while identifying and introducing
“educational inbreeding”
as a reason why voters continue to cast votes that do
not represent their best
interests.
The Bible teaches that
God speaks through us
and that we must take a
stand, make a difference,
stay committed and be prepared to defend what we
know to be the truth
“... for it is God who
works in you to will and to
act according to his good
purpose.” – Philippians
2:13.
After viewing the New
Republican Governors Association political advertisements on television, I
wondered if Nebraskans
are truly as ignorant as
those advertisements assume them to be.
I have more confidence
in Nebraskans than that,
but if I’m wrong, I am driven to take a stand relating
to two troubling issues.
To address these two issues, I would like to make
some sort of catchy statement.
A statement like, “There
are things I know I know
and then there are things I
think I know.”
I know that if the wing of
an aircraft passes through
a mass of air at an angle
that causes the air to flow
over the top side of the
wing in a ripple effect, the
wing will stall and the aircraft will begin to fall from
the sky.
An area I think I know is
that this year’s Nebraska
Cornhusker football team
seems to be loaded with
athletic talent, and if this
team remains humbled
and focused, its potential is
unlimited.
Back to the topic of
things I know that I know,
our economy is upside
down and the angle of its
passage through daily living if not corrected will be
disastrous.
The year 2007 was the
beginning of that disaster.
Luckily, with resulting decreased consumer discretionary spending, the actions of our United States
government and Federal
Reserve have allowed our
system to continue to stay
aloft through massive
spending, lowering of interest rates and influx of
new money.
In spite of the creation of
a massive government in-
promoters of tax cuts to
guarantee to me that these
tax cuts would result in
real job growth as opposed
to wealth maximization on
Wall Street, discontinued
worker exploitation and
proliferation of income inequality.
How will they guarantee
to me that their tax cuts especially property tax cuts
aren’t simply a tax shift?
What do you expect to
gain from your proposed
tax cuts?
Is it morally right to create public policy increasing
the bottom line of higher
income earners while middle and lower income earners are struggling just to
make ends meet?
Finally, can you prove
to me that you are not creating a banana republic?
Conversely, I will guarantee that if the minimum
wage would increase from
the current $7.25 per hour
to an inflation-adjusted
minimum wage of $10.50
per hour, every dime of
that household income increase would be used for
discretionary consumer
spending.
Like lift being created
by air flowing smoothly
over the upper surface of
an aircrafts wing, discretionary consumer spending represents the lift or life
blood of capitalism.
I ask you nay sayers to
take a look at the tremendous increase in numbers
of small businesses springing up in the area of the
Omaha’s Century Links
and Lincoln’s Pinnacle
Bank Arena. You may have
also noted the increase in
small enterprises that
sprang up on Omaha’s
South 13th street while the
College World Series was
still being held at the
Rosenblatt. True entrepreneurs invest most frequently because of anticipated discretionary consumer spending.
A fellow retired career
educator and I were discussing why I like to write,
take a stand and challenge
the status quo.
I mostly mumbled and
jumbled my responses stating I saw some candidates
pursuing self-interested
public policy that violates
economic theory, models
and concepts. Policies I
knew weren’t in the best
interest of the masses.
I felt it necessary to take
a stand. But then I
thought, “Why even try?”
But, because of a force
within me, I did it anyway!

SEPTEMBER JOURNEY
These squirrels are driving me nuts
ears ago I wished
we had a few squirrels to eat some of
the black walnuts or the
acorns that proved to be
missiles when I mowed. I
thought we had surely
provided everything
squirrels would need.
Our many felines had
other ideas. Apparently
they had a sign out somewhere that informed any
possible squirrel residents
a certain death or something close to it awaited
them if they planned to
live at our house.
Readers of this column
actually confessed to trapping their squirrels and
letting them out at our
house so I would have
some.
That sort of explains a
squirrel I saw out on the
end of a limb chattering a
wild distress call. The reason for his dilemma could
possibly be the 20 or so cats
in hot pursuit! Eventually
he dropped from the limb
and quite possibly is still
running for his life!
My residence today is a
different story. My next
Y
PHYLLIS BUELL
door neighbor loves the
furry, lilttle tail flicking rodents or whatever they may
be. He feeds them nice fat
ears of corn and mourned
when one of them got hit
on A Street. I was just sorry the deceased squirrel
hadn’t brought a few more
of his family with him.
Since his windows are
next to ours, they check out
our window sills daily, just
in case we might be feeling
generous. Miss Priss has a
fit, running from window
to window to see if she
might be able to get them.
It wasn’t her fault that one
of my favorite plants was in
her way.
Persons with birdfeeders
keep squirrels away with
different ways such as
greasing the pole that holds
the feeder with Vaseline.
Others put a baffle on the
pole and that works for a
little while.
I can’t put petroleum
jelly on my white petunias.
There is one left out of the
dozen I planted. I’ve yelled
at them (thank goodness
Lloyd, my neighbor, is
deaf), I’ve squirted them
with the hose, I routinely
dig their acorns out of my
pots and replace them with
moth balls!
They don’t get the hint.
Is it illegal to trap squirrels
– non-humanely? I’ve tried
explaining the problems
they cause me to them,
hoping they will feel sorry
about the whole thing and
move somewhere else.
I think they tell everyone
in their nutty family “the
old lady is out there with
her flowers, yelling about
what we did – so let’s go
torment her a little more”.
So, they come right up to
me, chattering and scolding me as if I’m violating
their territory.
Are they afraid of owls?
Maybe if I put a stuffed toy
cat in the tree they would
stay away – for a few days,
at least.
We used to put a radio
out in the sweet corn patch
to deter the raccoons. One
person tried that and said
the raccoons were just
dancing to the music while
they feasted on his sweet
corn!
I’ve been noticing a flock
of wild turkeys just a few
blocks away. Who knows?
I may have more to complain about than squirrels
if they move in.
I’ve seen what those
birds can do to a corn field
in a short while. My 36 pots
of flowers wouldn’t even be
a snack.
The city is becoming
more countrified all the
time. We had a mother
duck hatch out nine little
ducklings in a protected
area here at Gramercy Hill.
It was a delight to see them
all in a line.
If you have any ideas to
help my furry problems,
please let me know.
DIGGING UP ROOTS
Spanning the Big Muddy
eing located on the
western banks of
the Missouri River
has always been a defining characteristic for
Otoe County.
The rich bottom lands of
Iowa produced agricultural products needed by a
growing population, and
the thriving town of Nebraska City would have
provided a market that was
so very close, but the roiling
waters of the Missouri River lay in between.
The only way to cross
until 1888 was by a primitive and often dangerous
ferry boat.
It is said that the very first
bridge across the river was
a made by a group of railroad surveyors in 1856,
long before any railroad
had pierced the wilderness.
It was the winter of 1856
and the river was frozen
over except for a narrow
opening in the ice about six
feet wide. These forward
thinking gentlemen placed
a 16 foot wooden plank
across the opening and
crossed on it, thus creating
the first known Nebraska
City bridge.
Since that time there
have been three bridges
constructed across the Missouri at the Nebraska City
B
SHIRLEY GILFERT
site, but it is the first one
that drew world-wide attention.
In March of 1888 Col. S.
N. Stewart of Philadelphia
arrived in Nebraska City
and arranged a meeting
with several businessmen,
during which he made a
startling proposal.
“We can build a bridge of
boats so strong and substantial that it will support
the heaviest weight than
can be placed upon it, so ingeniously planned that it
will cause no interference
with steamboat traffic on
the rive, and so simple that
it can be removed from the
river with the advent of
winter, thus escaping destruction by the ice.”
Col. Stewart had such
faith in his plan that he offered to give $10,000 of his
own money if the town
could raise another
$10,000.
That sounded pretty impressive and fund raising
was started immediately.
The money flowed in and
construction of this unique
bridge was started in April.
His plan was to use a
hundred or more flat boats
with a mean span of 894
feet. The approach on the
Iowa side was 1100 feet
long, the longest in the
United States.
There was a roadway
with a surface built of
planking that was 16 feet
wide. A walkway on each
side for foot traffic featured
iron handrails on both
sides. The most important feature was a V-shaped
draw, the largest ever constructed.
The point of the V was
downstream and it was
thrown open by the current
to permit passage of
steamships and barges.
It was closed by one man,
using no steam power,
again using the current to
assist with the closure.
Once completed, the fees
for crossing were about
half what it had cost on the
ferry.
A single horse and rider
paid 25 cents for a round
trip, a person walking
across paid five cents, and
a team and wagon paid 40
cents. It proved to be a
boon to both sides of the
river.
When winter came, the
flatboats were removed
from the river until spring,
and then replaced after the
ice melted.
However, the rising water from the heavy ice melt
of the next winter proved to
be so great that the bridge
washed out.
One man from Iowa was
crossing the bridge with a
horse and wagon at the
time. The horse was on
one section of the bridge
and the wagon and its driver were on the other.
He barely escaped by
whipping the horse and
racing to the other side.
The bridge was never replaced after that spring,
but it had drawn national
attention.
An article in the Scientific
American, a popular magazine of the day, called it the
largest drawbridge in the
world and predicted it
would be followed by many
others of like construction
across the Missouri.
Although the pontoon
bridge served the community for less than two years,
it had served its purpose
admirably, for it proved
that “if you build it, they will
come.”

The dictionary defines success
as “achieving a hoped-for

Softball wins one
at Falls City Invite
-46
)95
4)55
Continued improvement by the Syracuse softball team was rewarded
Saturday with a quality
victory over Auburn-HTRS
at the Falls City Invite.
Syracuse won 2-0
against an Auburn-HTRS
team that is 9-5 so far this
season.
“The Falls City tournament went well,” said
Coach Justin Royal. “It was
great to get the win against
Auburn as I feel they are a
really good team. We really buckled down and did
the things we needed to
get the win.”
In other notes from Saturday, Coach Royal said
bench players stepped up
with good performances.
Bench player Kaylee
Meyer reached base and
scored one of the Rocket
runs against Auburn.
Taylor Weiler and Sam
Parde made bench contributions in the team’s 11-3
loss to Conestoga.
Looking back at the
Rockets’ tourney losses to
Southern, 8-4, and Conestoga, in the third place
game, there were positives
to draw on.
Syracuse led in the
Southern game, but was
undone after having committed errors on defense
and leaving runners
stranded on offense.
Conestoga hit the ball
well in the third place
game, but the Rockets
fought back well with
some good hits.
Prior to playing in the
Falls City Invite, Syracuse
played Wahoo and
dropped a 14-6 decision.
Kahner Woods and Kerstin Barrett had homers in
the loss.
Coach Royal said he
was pleased to see the
power hits and noted that
Woods is developing into a
clutch hitter.
Overall, the Rockets
continue to make strides in
the right direction.
“We are continuing to
improve and we have been
more competitive recently,” said Royal. “We
have struggled getting past
the one bad inning each
game.
“We are continuing to
improve with our bats and
it has made us much more
competitive. I think our
confidence is building,
which will only help us to
get better.”
Coach Royal said
Rachael Nordhues continues to be an asset for the
team at the catcher position where her skills as a
leader are readily apparent.
And Nordhues has kept
up her pitching in a relief
role as well.
Fed up with frustration, the
Rocket football team cut straight to
domination on Friday night in a
45-0 victory over Lincoln Lutheran
at Syracuse.
Going into the contest, the
Rocket team had two losses on its
ledger, both of them coming in
road games against top 10 ranked
teams and one of them having
been decided by a single point.
Through one quarter against
Lincoln Lutheran, the Rockets led
by just a touchdown.
That status changed in the second and third quarters as the
Rockets posted 14 points to lead
20-0 at the half, then piled on 25
more points in the third quarter.
Trey Mueller rushed for 182
yards and four touchdowns on the
night.
Seth Bayliss was close to 100
yards as well with 83 yards and a
touchdown run.
Ty Snyder and Connor
Cameron had 16 yards and
Cameron Clark had 12 on just two
carries.
Tanner Harsin threw for 90
yards on the game, including a
touchdown connection with
Cameron.
Mueller had one catch for 51
yards. Cameron had two grabs for
39.
The Rocket defense was even
more dominant than the offensive

We need help with our budget
Dear Dave,
My husband and I have
been living on a budget
for a few months, and for
some reason there seems
to be leaks in our budget.
It’s just a few dollars here
and there, but added together it makes a huge
dent. Can you give us some
advice?
– Joy

Going into
debt doesn’t

Dear Joy,
This kind of thing happens a lot in household
budgeting, especially to
folks who are new to the
game. Here are some ideas
to help stretch your dollars
and plug those leaks.
Use the cash-only
method, especially when
shopping for groceries.
you use often when there is
a big sale. These little
things will add up.
Try eating out only on
special occasions, drink
water as your beverage and
don’t be afraid to use
coupons in restaurants, either. When it comes to
buying clothes, make a
habit of checking out the
sale rack first. You can
DAVE RAMSEY
Take only the amount you
have budgeted, and don’t
use your debit card or a
check. Also, use coupons
only for items you would
buy anyway. In addition,
you can stock up on items
shop at thrift and consignment stores, and sell
the clothes you don’t wear
anymore.
With entertainment, use
dollar-off and buy-oneget-one-free coupons
whenever you can. See a
matinee or a second-run
movie, and if you’re going
somewhere with a bunch
of people, call ahead and
ask for a group discount.
You’ll be amazed at how
much money these tactics
will save!

Avoid interest
on loan?
Dear Dave,
In an attempt to im-
prove my bad credit, I recently bought a new car
which I financed at 17.9
percent for 72 months. If I
make the minimum payment of $468 a month,
I’ll end up paying about
$13,000 in interest alone.
Is there a formula I can use
to avoid paying all this interest?
– Marcus
Dear Marcus,
There sure is. Sell the
stinking car!
Your credit rating and
interest rate are lousy because you haven’t paid
your bills. And you haven’t
paid your bills because
you’ve been buying a
bunch of crap you couldn’t
afford — like this new car
at $468 a month.
Listen, you could have
more than $5,500 in just
12 months if you just saved

owned business since 1953.
The company makes many
products with organically
grown grains, honey, and
many more items.
The group of ladies took a
tour of the plant to see how
they make their products.
It was an interesting tour.
Several shops in the business district of Aurora were
welcoming to the group of
ladies. Six of the over 40
baskets were drawn. Each
lady went home with a basket and some were able to
take home more.
After Friday breakfast the
ladies participated in an educational program about
‘Parliamentary Procedure
Made Easy’. The Business
Meeting had several
changes made to the NE
FCE Constitution, districts,
and officers. A second tour
was taken at the Aurora
Cooperative.
Cindy
Schroeder, Fleet Manager,
explained the functions of
the company and told about
how the building was designed to meet the needs of
the workers. Another lesson
was given on ‘Stepping
Stones to Better Health’.

Lincoln man leads sheriff 's
deputies on 100-mph chase

A Lincoln man that led
deputies on a chase across
part of Otoe County was
charged with felony flight
to avoid arrest Sept. 8.
Terique L. Jackson, 22,
was arrested by the Otoe
County Sheriff 's Office at 9
p.m. on Sept. 6.
Chief Deputy Mike Holland said the sheriff's office
received a complaint at
7:25 p.m. about a motorcycle speeding and driving
recklessly on Highway 2
near Palmyra.
A deputy met up with
Jackson on Highway 2 just
west of Syracuse. The
deputy turned on his emer-
gency lights and pursued
Jackson.
Holland said Jackson led
deputies on a about 40mile chase and was reaching speeds of 100 mph
while weaving through vehicles.
Jackson led deputies
through Syracuse, he then
went south on Highway
50, turned around and
proceeded north on Highway 50 and travelled east
on Highway 2 again. Holland said he then turned
onto South County Road
52, went east on Highway
128 and continued zig zagging on county roads.
"He essentially went
from the western part of
Otoe County to the eastern

Dallas Ringland has been awarded the Scholarship from the Palmyra Chapter #257 Order of
Eastern Star. The OES Chapter awards one
scholarship to one student from either Syracuse
or Palmyra each year. Dallas graduated from
Palmyra High School and will be attending the
University of Nebraska Lincoln majoring in Actuarial Science at the Business College.
Dallas is the son of Dennis and Tami Ringland.

MINE
its niobium needs; 99 percent of it comes from
Brazil.
Currently, the company
is drilling in Elk Creek
for metallurgical analysis. This will more accurately reveal how much
is extractable and what
percentage of that can be
used.
The Syracuse Chamber
of Commerce invited a
guest to speak about the
mine and what it could
mean for our area. According to Tony Fulton,
who serves on NioCorp’s
Board of Advisors, this
GIGSTAD
ings. The seat filled by
Gigstad has two years remaining on the term.
Originally from Ne-
particular mine seems to
hold a much higher concentration than what has
been found in the past.
The samples are being analyzed to gain a classification from the Geological
Society of America.
Fulton said once the
analysis is complete, the
company will do a Feasibility Study in order to
determine how long the
mine could reasonably be
expected to run.
Current estimates are
30 years. At that point,
fundraising would begin
for building and opening
the mine.
Initially, in the building
phase, they would need
800-1000 construction
workers to get it up and
running. The construction would be expected
to last for 18 months to
two years.
Once that is complete,
the mine would employ
around 300 long-term
employees.
If the mine came to the
operations phase, there
could be an influx of people into Elk Creek and
the surrounding area.
Syracuse is only 30 minutes from the potential
site, and it has been suggested that the community could see construction
and mining families moving into the area.
The chances of a mine
are still only a possibility.
Fulton said that he believes that they will defi-
nitely get the classifications and feasibility study
done which will show the
potential profitability.
However, after that, he
said it will depend on raising the funds to construct
and open the mine.
Though nobody seems
to be making any immediate plans for adding
housing to Syracuse on
speculation of the mine, it
is a possibility that many
will consider.
The Chamber of Commerce members plan to
keep up with the progress
in Elk Creek and monitor
how it might affect growth
in Syracuse.
braska City, Gigstad and
his wife Carolyn have lived
in Syracuse for 38 years.
They moved here after he
completed veterinary
school in Kansas City.
Gigstad operates Arbor
Valley Animal Clinic north
of Syracuse, and he looks
forward to serving Syracuse as a member of City
Council. His wife Carolyn serves as Executive
Director of the Syracuse
Chamber of Commerce,
and they both enjoy taking
part in efforts to improve
the community.
Regular elections will
be held in November to fill
two other seats on the
City Council. Incumbent
Kristi Henke is running
for re-election. Alan Britton and DeeDee Staack
are also running for a seat.

BBQ time
Over 150 people went out to Otoe on Saturday for
the Otoe BBQ. In the past, Otoe had a very popular
Otoe days. Over time it dwindled down and eventually stopped. After several years of no local town
BBQ, the Otoe BBQ was brought back this year.
The event was chaired by Ralph Edwards and James
Parsons with lots of help from community members
to make it a success. The meal consisted of delicious smoked brisket sandwich, baked beans, potato
salad, chips, and a drink. Music played continuously
in the background. Two local churches donated
bounce houses, and a comedy skit was done by
Harley Hillman. Harley, who was always a part of
Otoe days in the past, had everyone laughing.
Angela Parsons, one of the event organizers, said
“Overall, the Otoe BBQ was a hit! The food was delicious, kids loved the bouncy houses and playing at
the park, adults enjoyed visiting with friends and
neighbors, new community people met fellow townsfolk and the entertainment was for all ages, funny,
and on the books for next year.
“Without the teamwork, this wouldn't have been
possible. We thank everyone that was involved in getting the BBQ up and going. We thank the churches
and their volunteers for providing such fun for the
children. The money raised at the BBQ will go towards park equipment and the continuation of the
Otoe BBQ.”

He said Smallwood,
Kahler and the children

Holland said Sept. 10 that
both were being detained in
the Otoe County Detention
Center on a $3,500 bond.
In County Court Sept. 8,

Nebraska City Medical Clinic ‘in-network’ for BCBS
Jim Brock
[email protected]
Officials announced last
week that the Nebraska
City Medical Clinic remains
in-network for Blue Cross
Blue Shield patients.
CHI Health St. Mary's,
however, remains out-ofnetwork.
"That was good news for
us and good news for Nebraska City," said Dan Kelly, President of CHI Health
St. Mary’s. "We felt very
strongly that we were outof-network… It really took
a long time to get pinned
down.
Based on our structure
here, we under the assumption that we were all
out-of-network."
Kelly said this revelation
came after calls from area
clients to the BCBS customer service line prompted deeper investigation.
Apparently, The Physician Network, which operates within the clinic, has
an "individual contract"
with BCBS, allowing doctors to continue to accept
patients on an in-network
basis.
"Even though that our local group is legally part of
St. Mary's, we are still affiliated with [The Physician
Network]," Kelly said.
The ongoing dispute between CHI Health and
BCBS was the result of
failed contract negotiations,
which resulted in CHI
Health facilities going outof-network for BCBS patients on Sept. 1.
As of Sept. 11, negotiations had not resumed as
initially anticipated.
"There's no word as of
this juncture," Kelly said.
"It's going to be a constantly evolving situation,
and we're working with
patients all the time to
make it as painless as possible."
In the meantime, CHI
Health has pledged to continue working with its
clients.
"What we have done is
restructured things at the
clinic so the patients aren't
overly penalized for a battle that really was not of
their choosing," Kelly said
in a previous report. "The

According to BCBS of

to the Aug. 31 deadline,

Nemaha NRD Board Meeting Report
Tecumseh – Nemaha Natural Resources District board of directors voted Thursday, September 11, to approve a budget that held the
property tax request at the same level as last year, which was just
over $2.4 million. With no increase in the amount of the tax request,
the resulting levy dropped from 4.37 cents to 3.88 cents per $100
dollars. No one appeared to testify regarding the budget at a public
hearing held prior to the board’s regular meeting.
A final, total budget of $6.1 million is an increase over last
year’s $5 million budget. However, the additional revenues needed
will come from other sources including state and federal grants and
funds. A large cash balance is also available for land rights required
by the Duck Creek Watershed project, which combines flood control
and public recreation components near Peru in Nemaha County.
Other major projects in this year’s plans include rehabilitation of
Upper Big Nemaha 25-C near Adams to upgrade the structure to high
hazard standards. Conservation cost-share measures in the Buck and
Duck Watersheds will come to a close this budget year. Repairs and
major maintenance projects on several watershed structures are also
planned.
Olsson Associates was selected to provide design and construction services on the Milton Buchholz cost-share dam. Though their
estimated fee was not the lowest, their experience was rated highest
of the four firms submitting proposals.
After considerable discussion and a motion to reconsider a well
permit application that had previously been denied for Harlan Plager,
the board voted to table action on the motion. Some board members
felt more information was needed prior to acting on the motion to
reconsider since the new permit might include special restrictions.
The well in question is near the public water wells of the Pawnee
County Rural Water District, who objected to approval of the well
permit.
Chuck Wingert, Water Department Manager, and several board
members reported on a meeting they attended with Barada area residents regarding domestic well issues. Wingert said he plans to investigate some questions further once crops are harvested and that NRD
staff is also working with landowners in that area to measure their
wells and help them register their domestic wells. Director Jon
Keithley, Falls City, asked on behalf of some of the landowners to
place an item on next month’s agenda to consider a moratorium on
new wells in that area until the current issues can be further investigated.
Two separate agreements with the Natural Resources
Conservation Service received board approval. One will provide federal assistance to complete rehabilitation assessment of 13 structures
over the next two years. Federal funds will foot the bill for the assessments, which will be conducted by private consultants. The second
agreement is for upgrading Upper Big Nemaha 25-C near Adams to
meet a higher hazard classification. Total cost of this project is $3.9
million, and the NRD’s share will be about $846,000.
Following a short, closed session to discuss land rights for the
Duck Creek project, the board voted to approve a recommendation of
the Executive Committee regarding the land rights. NRD Manager,
Bob Hilske, reported that he is hopeful a construction contract for
this dam could be approved before the end of the year.
Three resolutions to be considered at the annual conference of
natural resources districts later this month in Kearney were reviewed.
Generally the board proposed approval for all three resolutions
though they indicated delegates may have to use their judgment
should additional information be provided at the conference to
change the District’s stance on any resolution.
The next regular meeting of the Nemaha NRD board of directors will be Thursday, October 9, 2014, beginning at 8:00 p.m. at the
NRD headquarters in Tecumseh. Committees will meet prior to the
board meeting.
