History stands as the record of achievements
of those who paved the way for progress, but
that historical record means little without
present day citizens who recognize the value
of history and build upon it.
Two such citizens, longtime Arbor Lodge
Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent
Randy Fox and Mark Kemper, were honored
by Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts with
admiralships in the Great Navy of the State
of Nebraska during a special ceremony Saturday at the Otoe County Courthouse.
Saturday’s honor was the second in as
many days for Fox and Kemper, who were
recognized Friday at the Commemorative
Tree Planting at Arbor Lodge State Park.
Just prior to introducing Governor Ricketts,
Tim Pendrell of Nebraska City Tourism and
Commerce noted that Friday’s moment was
an especially significant one.
“Randy and Mark have been doing the
honorary tree planting for this community
for a long time and it was cool to kind of
turn that around and plant a tree for them
right in front of Arbor Lodge,” said Pendrell.
In turn, Governor Ricketts recognized Fox
and Kemper, not only for being a part of Nebraska’s history, but for building upon it.
“Today, we are also going to recognize a
couple of individuals who have been a part
of that fabric of our state, the fabric of Nebraska that makes it just a wonderful place
to work, live and raise our families,” said
Governor Ricketts.
The Nebraska Governor then read aloud
the official documents making Fox and Kemper admirals in the Great Navy of the State
of Nebraska.
The reading of the documents was met
with rapt attention from on lookers and a
few chuckles at some of the language, including parts about tadpoles being put under
the command of the admirals.
There was no mistaking the serious way in
which Kemper received the honor, however,
and how much it meant for him to serve
Arbor Lodge and Nebraska City.
“It is a great honor to receive this from
Governor Ricketts,” said Kemper. “It’s been
a great honor working for the Nebraska
Game and Parks Commission for 32 years
and I continue my work now at Indian Cave
State Park near Shubert, Nebraska. I invite
everybody, all the tree lovers from Nebraska
City, to come down and visit us at Indian
Cave State Park. It was wonderful working
here in Nebraska City and at Arbor Lodge
for all these years and I will always treasure
this honor too, Governor, for as long as I
live.”
Fox also addressed the Governor and the
assemblage in regard to his appreciation.
“I would like to thank the governor too
and all the citizens of Nebraska City,” said
Fox. “We have entertained a lot of visitors at
Arbor Lodge over the years. My 40 years
that, I can’t tell you how great its been for
me, because of all the things that we’ve met
and we’ve done there and continue to do.
My station will be here for the near future
to make sure all the stuff gets done at Arbor
Lodge that we want to get done. I am just as
excited as all get out. I have never been an
admiral before, so it’s really kind of neat. We
are really excited and thank you Governor
Ricketts, it’s really an honor.”

Wildwood Historic Center's Art Barn is playing
host to the works of featured artists David Frana
and Pam Apley April 24June 4.
Frana, a Nebraska City
native who works for a
janitorial company in his
other life, creates beautiful
lathe-turned wooden
bowls, goblets, candlesticks, boxes and containers, as well as the occasional bow.
Chunks of pine, cherry,
apple, walnut, hackberry
and maple trees are transformed into these works
of art by Frana in a two
stage process. Once he's
obtained the wood in log
form Frana cuts the wood
into chunks, puts the
chunks on the lathe and
roughly shapes them, leaving two to three times the
amount of wood he will
eventually end up with.
The roughly shaped piece
will then be stored for anywhere from two months
up to a year to dry completely.
After drying, the rough
object will be put back on
the lathe to be turned into
whatever it was meant to
be. Frana said that he often doesn't even know
what he's going to make
until he gets into the wood.
Each of Frana's pieces
are unique, a labor of love
that he creates in his basement, spending untold
hours to turn it, sandingusing grits starting at 60
up to 800, then finishing
with as many coats of
polyurethane or oil finish
as needed.
On some pieces he adds
some wood-burning embellishments, and Frana
has expressed an interest
in trying his hand at carving on the pieces, too, but
hasn't had time yet.
Most of Frana's pieces
are food-safe, and the ones
on display at the Barn
range in price from $25$100. Anyone who would
like to ask him to create a
specific piece can make
contact with Frana
through the Wildwood
Historic Center.
Apley, also a Nebraska
native, has spent the majority of her life in small
towns or on a farm, and
currently resides in Lincoln. When not creating
artworks, she is an Operations Director at a small
office.
Apley said she has always been artistic, but she
was encouraged and greatly influenced by her 5th
grade teacher and by her
mother, who had grown
up in the Depression era
and had the ingrained
habits of saving everything
and making do that came
with that time period.
Apley's art starts with a
bed sheet that she paints
a basic picture on, possibly
a landscape or flowers,
butterflies, etc., then she
enhances the picture by
spot gluing tiny pieces of
material to it, in shades
of green for grass or blue
for the sky, and so on.
When she's done covering
the desired portions of the
painting with fabric, a layer of tulle is placed over
Arrests
April 21
■ Eric J. Williams, 29, of Cook was ar-
rested at 4:50 p.m. by the Nebraska City
the whole thing, and the
tedious job of machine
sewing around the small
fabric pieces begins.This
part of the process involves
changing threads and
stitches numerous times
to match the colors and
pieces being sewed.
Apley really got involved
in art through her church,
the Lincoln Berean
Church, where she got involved in the Visual Arts
Ministry and their "Creative Call" class made her
realize that her artistic
skills were a gift from God
and an opportunity to cocreate with Him.
Apley noted that a lot
of her works of art involve
"taking small scraps and
pieces and putting them
together to form something more meaningful
and complete", much like
life itself. A very religious
person, Apley believes
every person is a "work in
progress" and that all of
the pieces of their life may
seem inconsequential or
not worth saving, but in
the end they become
something beautiful.
Like Frana, this is Apley's second appearance
at the Wildwood Art Barn,
and she also has five pieces
out on loan to the Lincoln
Internal Medicine Office.
Prices for her pieces vary
based on size, and for the
pieces on display at the
Barn, the prices range between $35-$375.
More information about
Apley and her art can be
found on her newly developed website, "Pieces
of Life Gallery," at:

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.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Budget advances
to General File
The Appropriations
Committee completed its
work on their budget recommendations for the next
biennium, voting 9-0 to
advance the recommendations to the full Legislature.
The budget bills will be
placed on General File by
April 28, the 70th legislative day.
The Legislature will take
up the budget package on
General File beginning
April 30.
According to the Legislature’s rules, the appropriations bills must be
passed no later than the
80th legislative day, which
falls on May 14 this year.
The budget, amounting
to $8.7 billion, increases
state spending by an average of 3.1 percent over the
two-year period.
The increase in spending
is noticeably lower than
the average 4.3 percent increase over that past 20
years.
The budget package
does include the concept
contained in LB 364, the
bill that I introduced to
add an additional $60 million annually for the Property Tax Credit program,
which provides direct
property tax relief to property owners.
A bill to strengthen the
Commercial Dog and Cat
Operator Inspection Act
was given first-round approval this past week.
The legislation adds a
definition of significant
threat to the health or safety of dogs and cats.
Due to recent concern
regarding the inspection
and enforcement procedures for licensed facilities by the Department of
Agriculture, the department has updated their
rules and regulations.
The statutory definition
mirrors the department’s
regulations, clarifying that
the department’s inspectors may impound animals
or ask law enforcement to
impound animals, if conditions pose a significant
threat to the health or safety of dogs or cats.
The legislation also provides for non-lapsing licenses, eliminating the difficulty the department had
in taking enforcement actions against licensees
whose license had expired.
Furthermore, the bill removes obstacles for unannounced inspections and
authorizes the department
to charge a reinspection
fee and mileage for reinspection trips to determine
if correction of defects
found in previous inspections have been completed.
As amended, LB 360 increases the annual license
fee for breeders by $25 for
each license fee category
and imposes a new annual fee in commercial license fee categories of $2,
times the daily average,
for dogs or cats numbering
more than ten.
The legislation would
increase the annual dog
DAN WATERMEIER
and cat license fee in cities,
counties and villages from
$1 to $1.25. These fee increases are necessary to
adequately fund the program. The Legislature also
gave first-round approval
to a bill containing many of
the recommendations submitted by the Nebraska
Liquor Control Commission.
The legislation seeks to
define hard cider as beer
instead of wine, allows retirement homes to apply
for liquor licenses, applies
the keg laws to all kegs
containing alcohol liquor,
allows retail licensees to
bottle and sell growlers,
and offers tax credits for
beer manufacturers to utilize local barley and hops.
As introduced, LB 330 repealed the mandatory closing time for bars.
This provision was
stripped from the bill by
the committee amendments.
LB 330 gave the Liquor
Control Commission the
authority to regulate powdered alcohol.
This powder produces
an alcoholic beverage when
mixed with water.
A successful amendment
struck this authority by
banning powdered alcohol in the state, except for
research purposes. S
enators were concerned
that this new product
would appeal to underage
drinkers and would be
hard to control.
A Unicameral Youth
Legislature will be held on
June 7-10, 2015 and I encourage high school students who have an interest
in law, government, leadership or public speaking
to register for the event.
Students will sponsor
bills, conduct committee
hearings, debate legislation and learn more about
our nation’s only Unicameral.
Scholarships are available. More information
and registration forms can
be obtained at www.NebraskaLegislature.gov/uyl.
If you have any comments on legislation currently before the Legislature, I urge you to contact
me with your thoughts and
opinions. I can be reached
at District #1, P.O. Box
94604, State Capitol, Lincoln, NE 68509. My telephone number is (402)

POLITICS
Twenty years since OKC
Two decades. Twenty
years.
We have turned the page
on our calendars 240 times,
but if I close my eyes I can
still see the huge console
television in my office in
Chickasha that we turned
on when we heard reports
that the Alfred P. Murrah
Federal Building in Oklahoma City had been
bombed.
Bombed. In Oklahoma
City.
The shockwaves shook
the Sooner State.
That old, dusty television showed the catastrophic results of hate
overflowing from the heart
of homegrown terrorists
who successfully blew a
hole in the heartland that
beautiful spring morning.
The editor in me knew
this story would be among
the biggest I would ever
cover.
The human being in me
saw men, women and children bruised and bloodied
from the damage and I immediately thought of the
commuters from our area
that made their living in
Oklahoma City.
A grandfather of a friend
of mine, a member of a
prominent local family, and
a toddler from the church
where my brother was a
pastor were all among
those taken by the blast.
We were left in shock
that these hate-filled men
could plan such an intricate
attack but fail to keep a legal tag on the getaway vehicle.
There was an abundance
of evil but a lack of genius.
Almost immediately, residents began living lives
that were reflections of Romans 12:21.
That lifestyle was noted
by President Bill Clinton
when he addressed the
Prayer Service Memorial
only a few days after the
bomb shook our ground
KEN BUSH
and even our faith.
Clinton noted the faith of
the state that had already
begun to overcome the evil
act.
“In the face of death, let
us honor life,” Clinton said
before quoting that verse
from Romans.
“As St. Paul admonished
us, Let us ‘not be overcome
by evil, but overcome evil
with good.’”
After Clinton addressed
the crowd at the State Fair
Arena, Rev. Bill Graham
made his way to the podium and joked with the
crowd that President Clinton’s address was a worthy
of any pulpit anywhere. He
quipped that perhaps in
20 years, Clinton would be
serving as a pastor somewhere. He isn’t.
But he will be back in
Oklahoma City on Sunday
to address the same people
who he helped lead
through a moment in history that no one should
endure.
Rev. Graham went on to
tell the crowd in the most
honest way possible that he
had no answers for why a
loving God lets events like
April 19, 1994, happen.
“I’ve been asked why God
allows it. I don’t know,”
Graham told an arena full
of Oklahomans seeking
comfort.
“I can’t give a direct an-
!
"
#
swer. I have to confess that
I never fully understand even for my own satisfaction. I have to accept by
faith that God is a God of
love and mercy and compassion - even in the midst
of suffering.”
I saw those questions being asked by friends and
family of those who were
lost and I felt the pain of a
state whose false sense of
safety had been shattered.
I felt similar feelings
when I argued with God
sitting by my father’s bedside a couple of years ago.
Dad wasn’t taken by a terrorist’s plot. His body rapidly degenerated thanks to
a rare brain condition.
I sat in his room the
night before he died and argued with the God of the
universe.
Why would you let this
happen to a man who
served you? He poured out
every ounce of himself to
serve others and now he is
lying in this bed semi-aware
moving his right hand to
touch his face to make sure
the one final limb that was
still mobile hadn’t failed
him yet.
I know how it feels to ask
God why He allows things
to happen that don’t qualify in our sense of justice.
But in his address, Rev.
Graham touched on two
points that we all need to
cling to in times that try our
faith.
Both are from Jesus himself. One is a teaching. The
other is an example.
Everyone knows about
the Beatitudes – a sermon
Jesus gave on a country
hillside to a large group of
followers. He established a
great deal of Christian doctrine that day.
Then, as recorded in
Matthew 5:4, Jesus talked
about dealing with death.
Kent Bush is publisher of
“Blessed are those who
mourn,” he said. “for they Shawnee (Oklahoma)
News-Star.
will be comforted.”
FISHIN’ PREACHER
Tell Bad Life: “Shut-Up”
Psalm 95:6 “Oh come,
let us worship and bow
down; let us kneel before
the Lord, our Maker!”
ESV
The First
Amendment
That is huge.
He didn’t say their
mourning would be taken
away. He didn’t say everything would be just fine. He
said we will be comforted in
our mourning.
Like that friend who
squeezes you tightly as tears
stream down your face,
God holds our souls and
comforts them while we
mourn.
Rev. Graham also
showed that those times
when faith is shaken and
God seems far away are
normal and acceptable.
“And our Lord on that
Cross asked the question:
‘Why?’” Graham said referencing Jesus’ words from
the cross during his crucifixion. “My God, my God
why hast thou forsaken
me?”
Jesus asked “Why?” and
there will be situations in
this life that make us ask
the same thing.
One of those happened
20 years ago.
Today, we remember the
lost. We honor the heroes
from that day. We let those
painful memories surface
and relive the pain from
that horrible day.
Now, two decades later,
some of those wounds still
feel fresh, but our faith is
stronger because we have
been comforted.
Our resolve was tested,
our faith was questioned,
and our lives were changed.
But on this 20th anniversary of the horrific attack,
let us remember that we
came together as a state
across party lines and cultural boundaries.
What was meant to tear
us apart brought us closer
together and made us
stronger. We can be that
better version of ourselves
again and we should in order to honor the memory of
those who were permanently affected 20 years
ago.
I found myself saying, “I
wish Calgon could take
me away.”
The bills stacked on the
dresser so we don’t forget
to pay them, and I had a
pile of insurance papers
that needed filled out.
Then one of my kids had
to go to the ER, tipping
my stress scale of life.
That night I was
preparing for a chapel
service. I sighed when I
saw my guitar, and said to
myself and God, “Really?
AARON JEFFERS
I don’t feel like doing this
right now, and you know
I’ve been a real spiritualpansy of a loser this week.
Now I’m supposed to lead
others in worship?”
I looked at the words
and the chords and started picking, but the grin
sure wasn’t there.
I started singing an old
Tommy Walker tune that
goes like this, “I have a
Maker…He formed my
heart…Before even time
began…My life was in his
hands…I have a Father…He calls me His
own…He'll never leave
me…No matter where I
go. He knows my name.
He knows my every
thought. He sees each
tear that falls, and hears
me when I call.”
And there it was.
Somewhere in that
transaction Jesus told the
waves of my heart, “Peace,
be still.”
And all those petty and
dreadful things that I had
magnified and given bully status to in my heart
had to run for the hills.
Bad life no longer
choked out the great life
that Jesus died and rose
from the grave for me to
live.
Worship is when you
recognize God’s worthship in comparison to
your circumstances.
The moment your heart
starts to adore God, it
puts God in proper perspective in relation to life,
and all the bad things in
life that try to hold you
down have to shut-up in
the presence of God.

ARBOR DAY
From page 1
The honoring of Fox and Kemper
dovetailed nicely with two other noteworthy occasions which Governor Ricketts, a Nebraska City native, celebrated
with Nebraska Citians on Saturday.
The first of those occasions, quite obviously, is Arbor Day itself.
Arbor Day
Ricketts pointed to J. Sterling Morton,
the founder of Arbor Day who began
the state, and, now, nationwide holiday
on April 10, 1872. Ricketts said Arbor
Day is also celebrated in a few other
countries as well.
“It is really a wonderful thing to recognize here what J. Sterling Morton did
to help recognize what a wonderful contribution trees make to the overall quality
of life we have here in Nebraska,” said
Governor Ricketts.
Otoe Courthouse
In addition to the 144th Arbor Day
celebration, the Nebraska Governor also
took time to recognize the 150th anniversary of the Otoe County Courthouse,
Nebraska’s oldest public building.
In his remarks, Ricketts pointed out
some historical facts about the courthouse.
After Col. Stephen Watts Kearny established a military outpost near Nebraska City in 1841, William R. Craig
and F. W. Wood began work on a Georgian brick house that would become the
Otoe County Courthouse. Work was
completed on the courthouse two years
prior to Nebraska’s statehood in 1865.
Since then, Ricketts noted that reno-

the Commemorative Tree Planting at Arbor Lodge State Park on Friday.

in honor of Fox, Kemper

Special to the News-Press
After more than three
decades of planting trees
at Arbor Lodge, Randy
Fox and Mark Kemper
were honored with trees
of their own during the
2015 Arbor Day Celebration.
Fox and Kemper, the
longtime superintendent
and assistant superintendent at Arbor Lodge in Nebraska City, were named
as the 2015 Arbor Day
Honorees.
Part of that recognition
included a commemora-
tive tree planting at the
park.
“When we first talked
about where to plant their
tree, we without a doubt
wanted it right in front of
the mansion,” said Rod
Edwards with the Arbor
Day Foundation. “The
Mortons are the mansion’s
first family; Randy and
Mark are thought of as
the mansion’s second family.”
The tree Fox and Kemper selected is a Black Tupelo, or Blackgum, tree.
The tree’s alligator skinlike bark and colorful,
glossy leaves are its most
striking features.
Edwards said this is the
first Black Tupelo tree to
be planted at Arbor Lodge.
Kemper said he and Fox
always worked well together during their time
at Arbor Lodge.
“We remain the best of
friends,” Kemper said.
Fox said he really appreciated being named the
Arbor Day Honoree and
gave his thanks to the
crowd gathered at the tree
planting.
“It’s the people like you
who made it easier for us
to take care of Arbor
Lodge,” Fox said.
vations were undertaken in 1882, 1936,
1988, 2006 and 2007.
“We’ve got a wonderful history in this
building, including the restoration of
the 1866 bell tower,” said Ricketts. “There
is a lot of wonderful history that really
celebrates Nebraska right here.
“It really is a chance to reflect upon,
not only on Arbor Day and the 150th
anniversary of this courthouse, but what
a wonderful history we have here in Nebraska.
“We have a great state.
“Nebraska is more than just lines on a
map,” said Ricketts. “We are bound together by more than just our common
geography.
“Nebraska is a culture. It’s a way of
life. It’s how we treat each other with
dignity and respect and civility. It’s how
we are involved in our communities, engaged in our schools and our churches.
“And you all here today represent that
best sprit of Nebraska, coming out to
celebrate our great history and the sacrifices our ancestors made.
“Now, its our duty to build on that
wonderful foundation and create even
better futures for our children and grandchildren, create those opportunities and
grow Nebraska,” said Ricketts.
Prestigious Tree
Pendrell announced that the Arbor
Day Prestigious Tree Award for 2015
goes to the tree at the Otoe County
Courthouse. The tree, which also won
the Prestigious Tree Award four years
ago, was nominated by Joan Dawson.
The Prestigious Tree Award is an award
given in accordance with a partnership
between Nebraska City Tourism and
Commerce and the Nebraska City NewsPress along with Gatehouse Media.
Pictured are plaques which were given to Randy Fox and Mark Kemper to commemorate their selection as Arbor Day Honorees.

Girls’ tennis tops
Blair squad, 5-4
Julie Mancini
[email protected]
The Nebraska City girls’
tennis team won their dual
against Blair, 5-4, Thursday at Blair High School
The team’s dual record
is now 3-2 for the season,
said head coach Dan
Holmberg.
Winning matches for
the Pioneers were the No.
3 doubles team of Kendra
McGinnis and Evy Causgrove, who also won their
singles matches 8-2 and
8-5; the No. 4 singles player Magen Jorgensen, who
won 8-2; and the No. 5
singles player, Brenna
Turner.
“Nebraska City earned
first point at No. 3 doubles,” said Holmberg. “Evy
and Kendra won 8-4.”
The Blair girls won Nos.
1 and 2 doubles to take a
2-1 lead after doubles, he
added.
“Magen, Evy, and
Kendra won their singles
matches to retake the lead
at 4-2,” said Holmberg.
“Brenna Turner won the
fifth and deciding point
with an 8-5 victory in No.
5 singles.”
Holmberg said he was
pleased with the way the
team bounced back after
a tough loss to Norris on
Tuesday.
“Our focus on winning
individual points was the
best it's been all year, and
that converted into game
and match victories,” he
said. “Hopefully, we can
keep that attitude as we
get ready for the conference and state tournaments in a couple weeks.”
The tennis team played
yesterday at home against
Brownell-Talbot. They will
take to the courts in Steinhart Park against Beatrice
at 4 p.m. Thursday. Look
for results of those matches in a future issue of the
News-Press.

The Nebraska City boys’
golf team finished second
at a triangular against
Glenwood
and
Plattsmouth Thursday at
Glenwood Golf Club.
Glenwood won the
match with a team net
score of 161.
The Pioneers’ team net
score of 186 was 12 strokes
better
than
the
Plattsmouth JV team,
which finished third, and
15 strokes better than
Plattsmouth.
“It was the first time
any of the golfers had seen
this course, so I was happy
with the majority of their
scores,” said head coach
Scott Kinnison. “ We had
a few too many big numbers, but overall it was a
good result.“
Tom Gress shot 44 for
fifth place in the individual
standings. Loren Steinman finished a stroke behind at 45 for sixth place.
Kyle Francois’ 47 earned
him eighth place overall,
while Aston Crum and
Ben Miller each shot 50,
which tied them for ninth
place. Braxton Schreiner
finished in 11th place with
a 59.
Glenwood’s
Kobe
Rhodes won individual
honors with a 35, which
was par for the course.
“Glenwood has a really
nice team and played well
on their home course, “
he added.
The golf team played
Monday at the Beatrice
Invitational tournament
at the Beatrice Country
Club.
They play again Friday
in an away match at College Heights Country Club
in Crete.
The Eastern Midlands
Conference tournament is
set for May 5 at Crooked

Kyle Francois of the Nebraska City boys’ golf team
tracks an approach shot during action at the team’s
recent home invite. Francois earned eighth place
overall in a dual at Glenwood last week.
The Nebraska City baseball
team snapped its losing streak
Thursday night, beating Plattsmouth 6-2 in an away game.
Andrew Harrah first-inning single brought in two runs and got
the scoring started for the Pioneers. A fielder’s choice by Kestyn
Lee brought in the third run of
the inning.
Noah Kasbohm went 2-for-4
with a two-RBI double in the
fourth. Nebraska City scored three
in the first, one in the second and
two in the fourth, while Plattsmouth scored twice in their half
of the third.
“It was a good win,” said head
coach Tom Bales. “We played well
in the field and did better hitting
with runners in scoring position.”
Brennen Bales pitched six inning for the victory, giving up
four hits and two walks while
striking out three.
Bales also went 2-for-4 at the
plate and scored a run.
“Brennen threw the ball around
the plate and made Plattsmouth
put the ball in play,” said Bales.
“The defense did the job behind
him.”
Nebraska City played Monday
at home against Beatrice. They
play Tuesday at Crete and are
home Thursday against Falls City.
Look for results of these games
in a future issue of the NewsPress.

ASK AMY
Family wants to confront ‘Sid’
DEAR AMY: My sister “Nancy”
has been in an off-and-on relationship with “Sid” for the last
eight years.
He is from another country,
so at times it has been a longdistance situation.
A year ago Nancy got pregnant with his baby. Before and
throughout her pregnancy, Sid
has been verbally abusive and at
times a bit physically abusive.
He also has cheated and lied to
Nancy on more than one occasion. I know he does not like me
or my family, but he is always
charming to our faces.
After a brief time apart, Sid is
back in my sister’s life. I do not
wish to have this guy around
me, or in my home, but I also
don’t want to lose my sister and
nephew. I want to be supportive
of my sister but I’ve had enough.
How do I approach this? — Had
Enough
DEAR HAD ENOUGH: There
is no such thing as being “a bit”
physically abusive. There is only
the first shove, which leads to the
GASOLINE ALLEY
THE MIDDLETONS
Amy Dickinson
is a Tribune

columnist
first slap, which can segue into
something worse.
You should make it abundantly
clear to both “Nancy” and “Sid”
that you are aware of what is
going on, and that you are worried about both of them and their
child. They should understand
that if you witness any physical
fighting, you will call the police.
You should expect both Sid
and Nancy to punish you for
your willingness to bring this out
in the open.
You should NOT cut off
contact with this family, and as
much as you despise Sid, you
should not forbid him from visiting your home. If you deny him
access, you risk further isolating
your sister. If he is charming
when he is with you, then all the
better.

Today’s Birthday (04/28/15).
Home sustains you this year.
Pursue excellence. Take time with
planning. Do the work well and
once. Budget a larger expense for
after June 14. Romance heats up
after October 13. Collaborate for a
common cause. Schedule a peaceful escape after October 27. Review
the terrain, past and forward. Grow
your nest egg for home and family.
Aries (March 21-April 19) —
Work gets profitable today and
tomorrow. Stick to practical
tasks, despite obstacles, and earn
abundant reward. Distractions and
roadblocks could slow the action.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) —
Take more time for play today and
tomorrow. Make a splendid mess.
Hold yourself to high standards.
Collaborate with people who are
better than you.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) —
Make plans to renew your space
without spending yet. Attend to
household matters today and
tomorrow. Get family opinions
before proceeding.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) —
Networking with friends lays the
infrastructure for shared benefit.
Research, study and write over the
next few days.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — There’s
potentially more money arriving, but obstacles could slow the
action. Stick to practical, shortterm objectives. Your ideas attract
attention. Use your own judgment
regarding a professional expense.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) —
You’re gaining authority today and
tomorrow. You’re strong, and getting stronger. Ignore a pessimist.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Wax
philosophical today and tomorrow.
Thoughtful consideration reveals
previously unseen opportunities.
Postpone a date. Resolve logistical
barriers first.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) —
Associates provide valuable input
today and tomorrow. Listen to
experience. It could seem undisciplined and chaotic, but there’s gold
in the creative mosh pit.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) —
Career matters emerge for your
consideration. Travel could seem
plagued with error and delay. Use
what you’ve kept hidden to push
past old barriers.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) —
Keep to a practical track while still
having fun. Plan your next adventure. Resist the temptation to
splurge on stuff you don’t need.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) —
Rejuvenate your relationship by
managing financial matters. Don’t
forget to do the work. Pay bills and
file papers.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — You
don’t have to do it all: delegate! Get
assistance to navigate a change in
plans. Take on more responsibility
by arranging partnerships.

Damme
is a program of the American Legion Auxiliary.
About 20,000 young
women participate in
week-long ALA programs
across the nation each
summer.
During the program, the
delegates assume the roles
of government leaders,
campaigning as Federalists and Nationalists to
become elected officials in
their mock Girls States.
They live in “cities” within
a college or university
dorm during the program.
Every year, two young
women from each ALA
Girls State program are
selected to attend ALA
Girls Nation in Washington, DC.
As Girls Nation senators, they campaign for
political office, craft and
debate the passage of legislation and meet with
their real-life counterparts
on Capitol Hill. Nearly
6,500 young women have
attended Girls Nation
since 1947.
