This year, the suggestion was implemented, and Fox and Kemper will be recognized during this year’s festival for their years of service to Arbor Lodge and for the thousands of trees they’ve seen take root around Nebraska City. Fox and Kemper will be honored throughout the weekend. On Friday, they will be honored with the planting of a black tupelo Although they were in the background at last year’s commemorative tree planting that honored Tom Farrell (right), this year Randy Fox and Mark Kemper will be front and center this year as they are honored with the planting of a black tupelo on the grounds of Arbor Lodge in Nebraska City.

Allgood said that Fox selected the type of tree that will be planted this year, putting as much thought and care into this year’s selection as he and Kemper have in years past. “They always put a lot of thought into the trees planted, “ she said. “Randy and Mark considered the type of tree for the DAV Van Nikki Carlson [email protected] one of the three proposed sites for sports complex, amphitheater and trails system. Business owner Jim Thurman spoke about the proposed project. Thurman, who has lived in Nebraska City for most of his life, said he has become "frustrated" with people not choosing to reside or stay in Nebraska City, the limited space at athletic fields and the lack of fine arts and walking and biking trails in town. "My thought is that you create a community that is rich in the arts, you create a community where we can bike and walk safely, a community where we have plenty of open space, athletic fields for our youth and package that in Nebraska City," he said. "(If you) make it a great place to live with all of the amenities that we need, and the jobs and development will come to you." Many people involved with youth baseball, soccer and fast pitch softball organizations and residents spoke in support of the proposed project. This fall, Nebraska City Middle School students will each get a Chromebook to use in school. The Nebraska City Public Schools School Board approved to implement a preliminary Technology Pilot program during it's meeting April 13. "What ultimately we are asking for tonight is that the board approve a pilot for the middle school to provide a learning environment that's rich in technology, that provides each student with a device that they can use on a regular basis day-in and day-out as it would enhance the curriculum, and the teaching and the learning in the class," NCMS principal Craig Taylor said to the board. The vision of the Technology Pilot proposal is: "Nebraska City Public Schools focuses advanced technologies to create an environment of outstanding instruction so each student becomes a productive member in a global society" by providing: ■ Regular opportunities for students to interact with technology, ■ Developing skills that enhance students' personal productivity, ■ Developing students' critical thinking skills, ■ Collaboration between students and staff, ■ Recognizing that technology is key to student learning and success in the classroom and in their daily lives, ■ Recognizing that technology offers educators effective ways to reach different types of learners, ■ Empowering students' inherent motivation to learn, ■ And allowing for multiple ways of assessing student understanding. "We want to take the middleschool environment and provide what they call 21st-Century learning opportunities to encourage more critical thinking, more collaboration, more communication," Taylor said April 17.

They were just always very methodical about the tree picked for this very special honor.” “Mark’s going to throw in a coin,” Fox predicted, adding that it’s been a tradition the two have followed since planting their first trees together 30 years ago at the lodge. Kemper explained that he began the tradition after he and Fox found so few artifacts when they replanted trees or did other outdoor maintenance at the mansion. “It’s just something that I thought would be kind of neat for someone in the future to find if they had to replace a tree,” he said. On Saturday, Gov. Pete Ricketts will honor them at 12:30 p.m. at a ceremony at the Otoe County Courthouse before Fox and Kemper drive their Bobcat down Central Avenue as grand marshals of the Arbor Day Parade.

American Legion Corn- husker Boys’ State is set up as a functional “51st state” and each boy learns how government subdivisions operate by actually doing the job. Participants will campaign for offices, hold elections, take part in band and chorus, compete in athletics and be involved in other varied activities as part of the citizenship training program. They will set up their own state government and draft bills.

COURTESY PHOTO Drug disposal available in Nebraska City What should you do with your unused, unwanted, or expired medications? Now there is an easy answer available in Nebraska City. For years we have continued to flush these medications. This is not the answer. Instead, take them to your local pharmacy for disposal. Walgreens Pharmacy is now able to collect these unwanted medications and make sure they are disposed of safely. Find other participating pharmacies at www.nebraskameds.org. Why is this so important? A nationwide study released in 2002 by the United States Geological Survey detailed trace levels of prescription drugs found in 80 percent of the waterways across the country. Pharmaceutical chemicals can enter the environment contaminating surface and groundwater by several means. Also, according to the Office of National Drug Control Policy, each year in the United States more than 71,000 children age 18 and younger are seen in emergency rooms for unintentional overdoses of prescription and overthe-counter medications. Additionally, among young people ages 12-17, prescription medications have become the second most abused substance, behind marijuana.

GUEST COLUMNIST Medicade Redesign qualifies as stimulus Alvin Guenther [email protected] Less than a week after I had released my guest commentary to the Nebraska City News Press discussing the dangers of skepticism, I wrote to a Nebraska State Senator questioning his vote on the Medicaid Redesign Act. I questioned his stance for he used partisan ideology as a reason to vote nay to the bill as opposed to using testible hyposthesis and quantitive analysis to arrive at a decision that may have life changing cataclysmic affects upon thousands of fellow Nebraskans. Following is that letter: sumption increases at the same rate as the income increases. At issue here is that, yes the percentage remains the same but the number of actual dollars saved as opposed to being used for consumption also increases. That savings represents a leakage from the CIRCULAR FLOW OF MONEY. If that saved money is borrowed or reinvested in new PLANT AND EQUIPMENT or new jobs, that savings would represent an injection into the circular flow of money. However, if it is used for speculative purposes such as an investment in stocks other than the original issuance then it simply becomes speculation and does not increase GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT. To summarize, the more income a household earns… a decreasing amount of that income in dollars is used for consumption and more dollars will go for saving. (Leakage from the circular flow of money). To achieve an injection into the circular flow of income and thus an economic stimulus, that excessive income is taxed and redistributed to those that will spend it on, the lifeblood of capitalism, household consumption. The $2.1 billion that the state will receive over a five year period, combined with $992,000 received daily in federal expansion funding, the $5 billion in increased activity could result because most likely a greater percentage of that stimulus funding will go to Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Nurses Aids, Laboratory technicians, janitors, electricians, plumbers, accountants, building contractors, utilities personnel, and other middle income households. These middle income households will spend most of their earned income on household consumption as opposed to the circular flow of money leakage known as saving. CETERUS PARIBUS (The assumption that everything else will remain constant) this increased household consumption, the life blood of capitalism, may create economic growth sufficient to slow the “brain drain” and greatly improve the economic climate in rural Nebraska. This proposed economic growth, Ceterus Paribus, could mirror the economic growth represented by new business startups surrounding Lincoln’s Pinnacle Bank Arena and Omaha’s Century Links Arena. I must be extremely careful that I do not violate the ASSOCIATION-CAUSATION FALLACY (The false notion that association implies causality). That is why I am being extremely careful to reference economic models and theories in my theoretical explanations. Therefore, in the absence of additional testing or research to prove to the contrary, to reject this theoretical dialogue would represent a rejection of TESTABLE HYPOTHESIS (An inference from a theory that can be subjected to real-world testing) of the educational discipline of Economics. Senator, You indicated that you had read the report commissioned by the Nebraska Hospital Association and the AARP. As Professors Allen Jenkins, PH. D, Professor of Economics and Ron Konecny, PH. D, Professor of Management both of the University of Nebraska/Kearney stated, “One must be careful to avoid letting ideological positions influence the quantitative benefits”. Professors Jenkins and Konecny proceed to list six ideological positions taken by opponents of Medicaid Expansion. Your position on the Medicaid Redesign Act and statement that you “are not comfortable with an analysis that compares an expansion of an entitlement program with economic development” aligns with their ideological position bullet point number six: An argument that Medicaid expansion is an economic stimulus is misleading because the federal government will have to borrow the money for expansion. Practicing the Common Core method of instruction while referencing an informational text (Principles of Economics, Fifth Edition) authored by Ryan C. Amacher, Professor of Economics and Dean, College of Commerce and Industry; Clemson University and Holley H. Ulbrich, Alumni Professor of Economics; Clemson University, I, using economic TESTIBLE HYPOSTHESIS as opposed to partisan ideology, will demonstrate that Medicaid Expansion (Medicaid Redesign Act) is in fact an economic stimulus. Like Social Security benefits, food stamps and welfare payments; Medicaid Expansion or the Medicaid Redesign Act are TRANSFER PAYMENTS. They represent a form of INCOME REDISTRIBUTION. Transfer payments are financed through our PROGRESSIVE INCOME TAX SYSTEM or financed by a fixed rate on a given amount of income. Economic stimulus occurs through income redistribution and as explained in part by the economic model known as THE MARGINAL PROPENSITY TO CONSUME OR SAVE (The fraction of any change in income that is consumed – or- The fraction of any change in income that is saved).

DIARY OF A DAD Discussions reveal passion for Wildwood Golf Course Since early November of 2014 I have been in conversations about the idea of a sports destination in Nebraska City; a one-stop shop for baseball, softball, soccer, running, and community events. A lot of those conversations have been exciting and life giving; some have been frustrating and deflating. Over the course of those conversations, some with community leaders, some with UNL students, some with planning firms, there appeared, to me, a perfect option in our wonderful town for the creation of this unique, inclusive catalyst to the next chapter in our great history. That option was to look at the possibility of using the land currently used by Wildwood Golf Course to be the new home of what could be a focal point of our community and creating opportunities for people of all ages to be outside using facilities that were modern, safe, and inviting. I began working with a group of committed folks, gathering numbers, look- REV. GREG BOLT ing at budgets, revenues, profit and loss, a small group of us even toured other complexes to give the students at UNL an idea of what we were looking to create. As a former athlete and someone who likes to be outside, all of these conversations brought me joy. The majority of the folks I talked to sounded like they were also excited about the possibilities. After many public meetings, hours of conversation, social media posts, and energy spent in creating a plan to look at the possibility of using Wildwood as one of three possible locations for this endeavor it all came to a head on Monday night at the Rowe Security Complex where a vote came before the City Council to approve around $20,000 of LB840 funds to do a feasibility study of the three proposed sites. The place was packed. Big Apple News Radio reported that “a record setting crowd of 130 people” showed up to listen, to speak, and to see what the next step would be. After over an hour of questions, comments, and discussion the City Council made their decision. The voted 4-0 (Jeff Crunk was not at the meeting) to deny the request for the LB840 funds to do the feasibility study on the possibility of a sports destination in Nebraska City. I was disappointed because I think getting more information is always better. I was disappointed because I thought this was a no brainer. I rarely think shutting down conversation is helpful. But…the sun came up on Tuesday. It’s obvious that Wildwood Golf Course has support here in Nebraska City; people don’t want to lose it. So here’s my challenge to you. Get out and use Wildwood Golf Course, play rounds, walk the cart paths, get out and use it. We haven’t been using it, that’s why the use of its land was even on the table. If there is as much love and devotion for that course and what it means to our town let’s prove it. I’ll be out there this week (it’s only $15.50 for nine holes and a cart during the week), I’ll take my kids out there. I hope to see you out there. Hit them straight! At dinner every night, my family goes around the table and shares their high points and low points of the day. We call it “Favorite” and “Not Favorite”. Here are my “Favorites” and “Not Favorites” of the week. Favorite: The conversation and the passion shown by those willing to discuss the future of our town. Not Favorite: The personal attacks, threats, and fear tactics used when people disagree. FROM THE GOVERNOR Growing Nebraska off to great start after Rickett’s first 100 The first 100 days of my administration have moved quickly as we have focused our priorities and resources on a single goal: Growing Nebraska. As I have said before, the key to growing our state for the next generation starts with creating jobs, lowering taxes, pushing back on regulation, and expanding educational opportunities. To achieve these goals and objectives, we have spent the first days of my administration focused on hiring transformational and innovative leaders and building a budget that reflects the fiscal restraint we need to provide Nebraskans with the tax relief they need and deserve. We are building a great team. With the help of an executive search firm and the financial support of Nebraskans across our state, we were able to identify directors for key positions in the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Corrections, and the Department of Economic Development. GOV. PETE RICKETTS These leaders are already making a difference. Here are just a few examples of the wonderful work my team has been doing these first few months: DHHS CEO Courtney Phillips announced with my office just last week a new transparency initiative that creates public performance metrics for ACCESSNebraska. The data will be updated online every month. This measure will help hold the program’s performance accountable not only to my office, but also to the people of Nebraska that this program serves. In the Department of Correctional Services, Director Scott Frakes is taking steps to upgrade software that calculates sentences to remove manual processes and reduce the probability of error in sentence calculations. Finally, Nebraska Department of Economic Development Director Brenda Hicks-Sorensen and Nebraska Department of Agriculture Director Greg Ibach are planning the first trade mission of my administration which will take us to the European Union in June to promote Nebraska business and agriculture. As a part of my budget recommendation, I put forward a plan to slow the growth of government and provide tax relief – the “3 percent plan.” If the Legislature holds the line on spending to around the 3 percent mark that I recommended in my budget while revenue continues to grow, the difference can provide tax relief to hardworking Nebraskans. Nebraska’s 2015 Business Tax Climate Index ranking by the Tax Foundation ranks us at 29th for competitiveness. If we plan to continue to create good-paying jobs for the next generation and to stay competitive nationwide and globally long-term, our business tax climate must improve. I am pleased that the Appropriations Committee has adopted my recommendation to transfer an additional $60 million a year into the Property Tax Credit Relief Fund. This represents a nearly 43 percent increase and would bring the total transfer to the fund for the biennium to nearly $400 million. This is tax relief for all property owners in Nebraska. While the full Legislature must still consider this recommendation, this represents significant property tax relief if adopted. There are additional tax relief measures under consideration in the Legislature for which I continue to advocate, and there is still time for the Legislature to provide additional property tax relief this year.

ARBOR DAY From page A1 “It’s been a labor of love for both of us,” said Fox of his and Kemper’s combined 70 years of service. “We want it to continue to prosper.” Among the improvements Fox and Kemper have made are reconstructing the fish pond, renovating the greenhouse, formulating a comprehensive garden plan and restoring the monument of J. Sterling Morton that was originally dedicated by President Grover Cleveland in 1905. Fox and his wife, Cyndi, were instrumental in starting the lodge’s annual Living History Days, which take place in the fall. Last year marked the 31st year for the celebration, which helped bolster tourism and revenue, said Laura Steinman, Arbor Lodge coordinator. Kemper would take part in the festivities by impersonating either J. Sterling Morton or his son, Joy, he said. When he portrayed Joy Morton, Virginia Ott would often take the part of J. Sterling Morton's sister, Emma Morton. Another thing Fox is most proud of in his years at Arbor Lodge is the free tree giveaway for schoolchildren during Arbor Day. After he and Kemper demonstrated the proper way to plant a tree during the annual school program, children could take a seedling home to plant in their own yards. Steinman said she’s heard about several of these trees still being focal points of yards around Nebraska City during Arbor Day Foundation meetings. Meeting participants had to talk about a personal experience with tree planting, she explained, and several of them mentioned that the seedlings they received as kids are growing in their yards or in their parents’ yards years after Fox and Kemper planted the seeds of knowledge during an Arbor Day demonstration. “We wanted to incorporate everything back to the turn of the century,” said Fox of his and Kemper’s landscaping efforts at the lodge, adding that if a tree had to be taken out because of damage or disease, another was planted in its place. COUNCIL From page A1 Patrick Wehling of the Nebraska City Youth Baseball program said the community's sporting programs are steadily growing and Nebraska City has fallen behind smaller communities who have "bigger and nicer" facilities. "I think that this shows the need for us as a community. We're growing," Wehling said. "In order to get another three to four fields would be tremendous because we could then host larger tournaments." Resident Marty Stovall said upgrading youth athletic facilities will promote economic growth. "I just want to consider the economic impact it could have on Nebraska City by upgrading the facilities," Stovall said. "Being in the kid business is serious economic development. It just can't be discounted." Those who voiced their opinions on the opposite end said they don't reject the idea of promoting more youth- and family-oriented events from coming to town. But, rather, they are opposed to Wildwood Golf Course being one of the three proposed locations for the project. The proposed construction would take place at three locations - west of CHI Health St. Mary's, the North Industrial area near the transfer station and Wildwood Golf Course. Wildwood golf pro Jon Casey said the golf course is "one of the top nine-hole golf courses in the state of Nebraska. "I think we're doing a huge injustice if we just say, 'Start the bulldozers,' and just start whacking the trees," Casey said. "I am not opposed to getting fun stuff for kids, and hopefully for adults too, but I can say from experience cutting down our trees, destroying our beautiful park, Wildwood Golf Course, is not the answer period." Public Works Commissioner Jim Stark said he would like to see the community's "passion" for this discussion to spark the organization of a community committee much like the one that was formed for the construction of the new aquatic center. "I'd like to see us harness this passion tonight to get a group together and let's see what we come up with and then talk about bringing in the expertise," Stark said. New Mayor Bryan Bequette said he would like to see the energy brought forth by the community during Monday night's meeting continue to move the project forward. In other news, Bequette also announced during the meeting that the original agenda items of appointing a new city administrator and city clerktreasurer wasn't going to happen at this time because he needs more time to review the candidates. Bequette was sworn in as Nebraska City's new mayor during a special meeting the morning of April 15. Before his appointment, Finance Commissioner Mindy Briley had been the acting mayor and had been working diligently to not only fill the mayor position, but other two as well. He told the audience that he simply needed more time to interview the candidates with commissioners. "It is my intention to convene a special meeting before our May 4 meeting to interview, as a council, the top few candidates for each position. My not making an appointment tonight is in no way a lack of confidence in the applicants," Bequette said. "It is solely due to the amount of time I've had to review the process and my belief that a special meeting to interview the group of candidates as a council is the proper way to move ahead." Bequette added that he intends for the special meeting to take place within a week, but due to the Kemper added that he and Fox made sure to keep the mansion's interior accurate to the period of the early 1900s. They had an inventory of household goods to work with, and they researched subjects such as color schemes and wall coverings. They also talked to the Nebraska City Historical Society to ensure the final look of the rooms "wasn't just something we dreamed up." "It's a continual process to maintain it, make it look nice and keep it up," said Kemper. "It's just like anybody's older house. There's always something that needs to be done.” “One of the things that Randy and Mark have been good at is encouraging volunteerism,” said Friends of Arbor Lodge board member Joel Lundak, himself a former recipient of the award. “Having volunteers active out here actually increases your work load, but it really is important in winning over community support.” Kemper said one of the most interesting parts of his work at Arbor Lodge was meeting the guests, from visiting dignitaries to ordinary tourists, who came to the park and mansion, and the park staff and community volunteers he worked with over the years. "We had all kinds of people…the older people and then the younger people we've seen grow up and become outstanding adults in their communities," he added. Fox credited the Friends of Arbor Lodge as being instrumental in getting some improvement projects completed, including the playground equipment, the walkways and the water fountain. The state of Nebraska turned control of Arbor Lodge over to the Arbor Day Foundation/Arbor Day Farm in 2014. At that time, Fox became superintendent of the Riverview Marina and the Southeast Regional Maintenance Center. Kemper now works at Indian Caves State Park in Auburn, where he supervises 3,400 acres, including the last of the great deciduous forests in Nebraska. "There's lots of things I've taken from Arbor Lodge that we use down here," he said. "like the tree planting, and some other things we'll be adding. It's great being down here with a whole new set of challenges." short notice to fellow commissioners and Arbor Day weekend being this weekend that may not be possible. In other news, the council had a laundry list of discussion and action items on their agenda list.

New full-time paramedic with Nebraska City Fire & Rescue Joe Grubbs was also introduced during the meeting and Bequette proclaimed the week of May 1 through May 7 to be Youth Week, as designated by the Nebraska City Elks Lodge No. 1049. SCHOOL BOARD From page A1 "We want to do that through an environment in which all kids have access to the technology to facilitate those skills. "We know that in our town, in our community, that not all of those kids have that access. So we want to provide every kid with the same access to where teachers can no longer just stand and lecture and use traditional methods anymore," Taylor added. "We can start taking advantage of all of the technology that is out there and the advantages that those bring to learning." The pilot program consists of providing 320 Chromebooks to students. The estimated costs of the Chromebooks, insurance, management software, storage and charging stations is about $104,000. The funding will come from a Title 1 grant, a Title 1 Accountability grant and the 2014-2015 General Fund Technology Budget and Technology Cooperative budget. Currently the school has about 265 devices in two computer labs, one ChromeBase system in each classroom, six iPad carts and one Chromebook cart. Taylor said some of the school's devices will be shifted to the elementary schools and the high school. Along with the pilot program, a new digital citizenship curriculum, called Common Sense Media, will be required for all middle school students to take this fall to teach them about eight different categories: ■ Internet safety, ■ Privacy and security, ■ Relationships and communication, ■ Cyberbullying, ■ Digital footprint and reputation, ■ Self-image and identity, ■ Information literacy, ■ And creative credit and copyright. Taylor said middle school staff will be trained on how to teach the Common Sense Media curriculum and sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students will all be taught five different lessons that are age appropriate. "That will be one of the first things that we do when kids come back to school," Taylor said. "Digital citizenship is a key first step into teaching our kids how to behave with the device. It is still a school-owned device; the kids do not own it. "So this is our chance to teach them what's OK and what's not OK," he added. "To where hopefully that training will start spilling over to when they start working with their own devices that they're making better choices with them." Students will not be allowed to take the Chromebooks home. The Common Sense Media curriculum is geared toward kindergarten through 12th-grade students with the hope, if the pilot program is deemed successful, it will branch out to the other Nebraska City Public Schools. Taylor talked to seventh-grade students the morning of April 17 about the pilot program and the digital citizenship curriculum and what their role will be this fall as eighth-graders. Seventh-grader Max Chaney said April 17 his biggest concern with using a Chromebook would be dropping it. However, he said a Chromebook would reduce the amount of students forgetting to bring their homework to class. "I think it's nice for every kid to have a Chromebook," Chaney said. "It would be easier because if you had the Chromebook you'd just take it to your classes and all of your worksheets from every class that you had homework on would be on that device." Classmate Ruby Lopez said the Chromebooks would help students know when assignments are due and also help them with not losing homework. "A lot of kids tend to lose their homework if it's on paper," Lopez said. "It's a lot easier to keep track of it and know when it's due." Lopez said her concern is with students not taking care of the Chromebooks. "It's a big privilege to have the teachers actually trust us with a computer," she said. Seventh-grader Aubrey Kasbohm is concerned about walking in the hallway and dropping the Chromebook after bumping into someone, but she thinks it will help students stay focused in the classroom and create less to carry from class to class for the teachers and students. "I think it's going to be easier and I also think it's going to get kids focused more because I always get distracted when I'm writing, but if I'm typing I just think kids will focus better," Kasbohm said. Taylor said April 17 that he had spoken with the seventh-graders because he wants to involve them in the pilot program this fall to be role models for the younger students. "So they can demonstrate what the right things are, how to do it the right way and just give them to opportunity to just really own this," he said. "The eighthgraders we look at them for leadership, especially for our younger kids coming in." Chris Fletcher, the district's director of technology, NCMS sixth-grade science teacher Elizabeth Dunn, who is also a building representative on the district's Technology Committee, and Jeremy Nielson, the state coordinator for Common Sense Media Education Outreach, joined Taylor during the school board's April 13 meeting to present the Technology Pilot program and new curriculum. In other news, the NCPS school board also approved the following items: ■ The resignations of Hayward Elementary School special education teacher Maggie Johnson and reading coach Mary Ann Athen, and Nebraska City High School business teacher Judy Krenk; ■ Option enrollment requests for two Conestoga Public Schools students for the 2015-2016 school year; ■ The NCHS 2015 graduation list of students; ■ The Nebraska Association of School Boards membership renewal of $5,551; ■ An Educational Service Unit No. 4 Core Services resolution; ■ Magazine bid for libraries in the district's schools for 2015-2016; ■ A foreign exchange student from Bavaria, Germany, to attend school at NCPS for 2015-2016; ■ And a 4.8-percent total compensation package salary increase for classified and administrative staff for 2015-2016. The school board's next meeting will be May 11 at 6 p.m. in the NCPS District Administration Building at 215 N. 12th St. The public is welcome to attend.

Winning for the Pioneers were No. 1 singles player, Kendra McGinnis, who won 8-6 over Kylie Hohlen, and No. 2 singles player Evy Causgrove, who won 9-7 over Janelle Adams. “I was proud of the way that Kendra and Evy fought back in their singles matches for victories in matches that truly could have gone either way,” said Holmberg. “But they never quit, even when shots weren't falling in or momentum was on the other side. “The will to win is strong in these two,” he continued. “They're a real pleasure to coach.” The Pioneers played an away dual at Blair Thursday and a home dual against Brownell-Talbot on Monday.

We will have a chance on Thursday to improve on this performance. “ Individually, Tom Gress took top honors with his score of 42.

Nebraska City jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the first, but Elkhorn scored six runs in their half of the second and never looked back. The Pioneers collected eight hits in the game, but stranded seven base runners. “We are not playing very good baseball right now,” said head coach Tom Bales. “We are making the mistakes you might expect early in the season but not at this juncture. “We just need to keep working, get some things straightened out and play better baseball,” he added. Offensively, Bret Kochanowicz went 2-for2 with a double. Brennen Bales went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, and Trey Denniston also went 2for-3 with an RBI double and a run scored.

The Lourdes Central Catholic girls’ track team finished fourth at the Sacred Heart Irish Invitational track meet, which took place at SD-A High School Tuesday. The girls earned 62 points at the meet, while the boys’ team finished 12th with five points. Pawnee City won the girls’ team title with 117 points, and Syracuse won the boys’ team title with 137 points. “We had some injuries on the boys side that caused us to pull some kids out of events,” said cocoach Jacob Staroscik. “We would rather pull them out now then aggravate things and make them worse for later in the year,’ he added. “So that limited our point totals for the boys. “Brandon Fredrichs, a freshman, stepped up big for us, though, and got his first two individual medals in the hurdle events,” he continued. “It was great to see him succeed.” On the girls’ side, Lourdes had another great meet, said Staroscik. “We had our usual medal winners do well and got some points from freshman Anna Heng in the 800,” he said. “It was her first individual medal of the year, so it’s good to see her improving over the course of the year.” In the field events, Laura Box broke the school record for the long jump with her jump of 16-2.5, said Staroscik. “It’s always a great thing to break school records,” he said. “We’re very proud of Laura, her hard work at practice is paying off big in the meets.” Medal winners for the Knights were as follows: Girls high jump: Katie O’Neil, first place, 4’10”.

On Monday night, the visiting Pioneers boys’ team beat the Elkhorn Antlers 3-2in a conference game. “Monday’s game was a win against Elkhorn in the second overtime,” said head coach Jessica Rice. “We started of the game scoring two goals early-one was a penalty kick from Killian Keetz after a hand ball in the box, and the second goal was scored of a corner kick by Roberto Silos.” The Pioneers were up 2-0 in the second half when Elkhorn scored two back-to-back goals within three minutes of each other, Rice continued. “The game was tied 2-2 through the first overtime, and with 1:25 left in the second overtime, Juan Rodriguez scored the game- Beki Warga assisted in scoring the Pioneers’ lone goal against Auburn Tuesday. Tessa Kinart scored the goal to give Nebraska City the win in double overtime.

On Monday night, the Nebraska City girls’ team lost a conference game at home to Elkhorn, 6-0. Tuesday’s home game against Auburn had a different outcome. The 1-0 non-conference victory came in double overtime when Tessa Kinart scored the goal off an assist by Beki Warga, said head coach Brian Hoover. “We outshot Auburn 260 and played well,” he said. “We just couldn't find the back post. “We are sitting in good position moving into the conference and district tournament with the EMC tournament beginning next week,” Hoover added.

Five mother-anddaughter teams took leadership roles in the project, including Stacy Blum and her daughter Makensi; Dana Stovall and her daughter Kelsie; Melissa Turner and her daughter Brenna; Julie Little and her daughter Kaili; and Stacie Higgins and her daughter Chloe. “It’s the first time for that kind of dynamic in a church group I’ve been involved in,” said Higgins, who thought that the project was a great mother-daughter bonding opportunity. The young women involved in the project brought a different set of skills than their mothers, said Stovall, including extensive knowledge of social media that resulted in an online presence that included Facebook, Twitter and a project website, and a strong design sense that resulted in a eye-catching Tshirt that members of the congregation could purchase to support the project. See KINDNESS, page B7 Mayhew Cabin Dear community members, Some of you are aware that we have been in the process of reviewing a major renovation of the cave/tunnel area at the Mayhew Cabin site. We did receive some funding from the Nelson Foundation very early last year to have a limited study done. The architect company that has been working with us is finalizing the plan for the project after we were given an estimated budget. However, they have not sent us the final agreement and informed us that we should close off the tunnel and parts of the cave area to the public. We have done that per their advice and this will be the situation until the fall (more than likely). I have attached a simple map that shows what areas are closed off. The sleeping quarters area is labeled closed, but still can be viewed from where are cut off point for the public is. In addition, the Mayhew Cabin site itself is still OPEN to the public. The cabin and cellar area underneath remain open along with the historic village and museum area. Basically the tunnel area and the ravine area are closed off to the public. If you have any questions, please email me or call me during the day at 402-873-8374. Bill Hayes, Volunteer Director Nebraska City museums celebrate opening with tour, presentation Sandy Parmenter [email protected] During a recent Society event, members of the Nebraska State Historical Society and trustees of the Society and the Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation as well as some local community members got to preview Nebraska City's Civil War Veterans Museum, Kregel Windmill Factory Museum, and Old Freighters Museum before season opening. After their special tour of the museums, the group convened at the Lewis and Clark Missouri River Visitors Center to enjoy wine from Kimmel Orchard and Vineyard and appetizers prepared and served by the Pantry of Chris' Cuisines before hearing a presentation by Dr. Gary Moulton. Moulton is known as one of the foremost experts on the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and spent the last 20 years editing and publishing the journals from that expedition. The result of his long term effort is a 13 volume set of the journals for which he was awarded the NU Outstanding Research and Creative Activity Award and the J. Franklin Jameson Award of the American Historical Association. Moulton has served as consultant to the United States Mint, National Geographic, and Ken Burns based on his knowledge of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Moulton shared with the group background information about how and why he got started on the project of editing the journals, and some of the difficulties he faced while doing so, as well as some unique and interesting facts about the expedition itself. Moulton said he started out with only basic knowledge of the Expedition, but knew enough to consult with others in the fields of botany, linguistics, cartog- PHOTO SUBMITTED raphy, etc. Because this project was started in the 1980's, though, consulting with others across the country or world meant doing so via letters back and forth and phone calls, in a painstakingly slow process that the internet generation could not possibly fathom today. Moulton faced other issues, too, such as incomplete maps and journals that had nothing written in them for as long as nearly a year. While Lewis and Clark were both intelligent men, they were not above such common foibles as spelling the word Sioux 27 different ways in their journals, either. Moulton said that linguistics was one of the most difficult tasks of editing the journals throughout, and those issues delayed every volume. According to Moulton, Lewis made an impressive effort to collect the vocabularies of the tribes he met along the way, and they met at least 50 tribes, but he listened to the Indians, wrote down what he heard, then translated, and it was not uncommon for things to be lost at any of those three points in translation. Moulton had the difficult task of trying to check his translations after the fact, and explaining what Lewis ! # #" RICKETTS From page A4 Dr. Gary Moulton spoke to members of the Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation at the Lewis and Clark Missouri River Visitors Center. had done. Moulton's presentation was engaging and informative, and made it clear that what students learn about the Lewis and Clark Expedition in school is merely the tip of the iceberg. The journals, as edited by Moulton, were published by the University of Nebraska Press, and can be purchased or can be read online at lewisandclarkjournals.unl.edu. The Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation, which acts as the funding arm of the Nebraska State Historical Society, is a non- profit organization that has been dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and appreciating Nebraska history for the last 73 years. Donors to the Foundation help support countless Nebraska State Historical Society programs, projects and events. New members to the Society are always welcome and just a few of the benefits for full members include invitations to exhibit openings, or tours such as the one held in Nebraska City on April 9, a subscription to the Nebraska History magazine and Nebraska History News mailed quarterly, and free admission to NSHS historic sites statewide. The Foundation is making a concerted effort toward statewide outreach and plans to increase its presence with trips around the state to places of historical interest. Anyone interested in learning more about the Society or Foundation or making a donation can call Leslie Fattig at 402-4353535, email her at [email protected] or go to the Foundation website at www.nshsf.org, or the Society website at www.nebraskahistory.org. & ! FROM TO During these past few months, we made some exciting announcements. A few weeks ago, my office announced that Nebraska attained the lowest unemployment rate in the nation, and this month it dropped even further to 2.6 percent. Last week we revealed that Sheldon Station in Hallam would become the first large utility to utilize hydrogen which will be provided by the first clean carbon black plant in the United States. This week, I joined leaders from the University of Nebraska to unveil Suji’s Korean Cuisine as the first international business to join Nebraska Innovation Campus. These stories are all great news for Nebraska and serve as evidence that our state is growing and vibrant. This is just the beginning of our quest to grow Nebraska. As we work together, I will continue to listen to your ideas on how we can grow our state. Please contact my office at 402-471-2244 or [email protected].

We communicate with older and younger generations of family. The seniors want lengthy phone calls and cards; most do not have computers or any interest in acquiring them. Those our age seem to be cafeteria-style: some prefer a combination of phone, email, text; some also do cards, and some Facebook, some not. Younger folks prefer lots of text and lots of Facebook. We find that some members of all generations get peeved when the communication attempts are not in the form they prefer. But it’s hard to keep track of each individual’s preferences. The most annoying seems to be those who text and expect an immediate response. They don’t seem to realize that not everyone has phones attached to them 24/7.

None of us can force others to adopt communication devices simply for our own convenience; we can only face the consequences when our own choices result in someone else being unresponsive.

That means that you talk to your folks by phone and that your kids will occasionally be frustrated because you aren’t available to respond instantly to every text.

Squatters, marijuana found at apartment Nikki Carlson [email protected] A landlord of a Nebraska City apartment complex met with the Nebraska City Police Department about squatters living in an apartment. According to an affidavit, NCPD officers met with the landlord at 10 a.m. on Monday at the apartment complex. Francisco Pascual, 20, of Nebraska City answered the door. Officers noticed "several other persons in the living room." During a search of the apartment, officers found a "jar full of marijuana and a blue bong on the coffee table." A clear bong was found on the kitchen counter, and an officer found KINDNESS From page A1 The six-week program, which is a Nebraska City exclusive, started with a focus on kindness toward family members. The second week revolved around kindness toward friends, followed by kindness toward school/work /church members in Week 3. The fourth week involved kindness in the community, followed by kindness in the world. The project concluded with a celebration service at the church on March 15. During the program, church members were involved individually, in small groups and as an entire congregation in performing acts of kindness. On an individual level, members were given a bracelet with the hashtag dosomethingnow. They were to put it on their left wrist to start the day because their act of kindness was still “left” to do, explained Stovall. After the act was completed, the bracelet moved to the right wrist because being kind was the “right” thing to do, she continued. Participants also received 40 Pass It On cards that they were to share with the community as they performed their kind acts, said Stovall. The cards encouraged the recipient to pass the kindness on. Participants were also supposed to share their kind acts via social media or by dropping a note in the “Jar of Kindness” at the church. The most difficult part of the individual program was getting participants to share what they did, said Higgins. “People liked "numerous individual baggies of marijuana" in an upstairs bathroom cabinet. Pascual was arrested at 10:20 a.m. on suspicion of possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, a Class 3 felony. According to the affidavit, the other individuals in the apartment were cited on suspicion of possession of marijuana. Pascual's first appearance in the Otoe County Courtroom was Monday. He could be facing a maximum of 20 years in prison, a $25,000 fine or both for the Class 3 felony. His bond was set at $5,000. Pascual's preliminary hearing has been scheduled for May 18 at 1:30 p.m. in county court. telling us what they received, but not what they did,” she said. In the small-group portion of the program, the groups met weekly to devise and undertake mission projects within the community. One of these was to provide hand and foot warmers to the Nebraska City Police Department, and the warmers came at an ideal time: just before officers were deployed for an extended period of time on an extremely cold day. When the project began, the committee thought that the congregation would undertake a single church-wide project but, after receiving suggestions from members, they decided to do three: care packages for deployed service members, gift bags for members who have attending difficulty church, and cookie boxes that were distributed around the community to non-members. The variety of projects allowed church members of all ages to participate, said Higgins, from writing notes of support to service people to packing care packages and gift bags to helping deliver the goodies locally. “We sent about 100 pounds of food to service members, gave about 50 gift bags to members and distributed more than 40 boxes of cookies,” said Stovall. Even though Lent has passed, the committee plans to keep the kindness going throughout the year. Other churches and community groups have inquired about the program, which Stovall and Higgins would like to see grow to include churches and schools in the Nebraska City area. NCPD executes search warrant, arrest ed a search warrant at the property at 3:40 p.m. Pierce was located on the property in a trailer that he was living in. In the trailer, officers found a small baggie with white residue that had field tested positive for methamphetamine. NCPD officers also found a plastic case with two bow and arrows and a red shotgun reloader under a bridge at an adjacent lot. "Both these items were verified as items we had stolen in a burglary of a residence in Nebraska City on April 1, 2015," the affidavit stated. Nikki Carlson [email protected] A search warrant at a Nebraska City residence led to the arrest of three Nebraska City men April 17. Kory Pierce, 26, Russell Linthicum, 37, and Roger Ulfers, 67, were all arrested on suspicion of possession of methamphetamine, Class 4 felonies.
