Memorial Day program draws robust crowd

A robust crowd turned out in beautiful
weather for the Memorial Day program at
Park Hill Cemetery in Syracuse on Monday.
Gerald Neeman served as Master of Ceremonies for the event, which featured performances by the Syracuse-Dunbar-Avoca
High School band, opening and closing
prayers by Father Michael Stec, and student
presentations by Cornhusker Boys and Girls
State representatives as well as a keynote address by Unadilla’s Ed Reed, the commander of American Legion Post 100 of Syracuse.
The S-D-A band opened the program with
the Star Spangled Banner. Following an
opening prayer, Cornhusker Boys State representatives John Stubbendick and Jameson
Bennet recited Logan’s Orders, which is
thought to be a founding document for establishing Memorial Day. Britton Lyon, also
a Cornhusker Boys State representative, recited Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysberg Address,
which was particularly in order this year
since it’s the 150th anniversary of the end of
the Civil War.
Reed then gave the keynote address of the
event and, in doing so, implored his fellow citizens to keep the families of service members
in their thoughts, not just on Memorial Day,
but on every day.
“The men and women we honor and remember today have proven that they are not
just friends to Americans. They are friends to
men and women in countries all over the
world,” said Reed. “We owe it to the nearly one
million men and women who have died defending America since our nation’s founding
to live life to the fullest.
Unadilla’s Ed Reed addresses the assemblage at the Syracuse Memorial Day program at
Park Hill Cemetery on Monday.

ble because of our fallen heroes that have paid
its high price.”
Following Reed’s address, Cornhusker Girls
State representatives Sarah Antes and Kylee
Werner recited First World War Poems In
Flanders Field and America’s Answer.
Wreaths were placed by Carol Wallman of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Lois Johnson of the American Legion Auxiliary. A
salute to the fallen was given with a three-shot
volley by a firing squad. Taps was played by Jeff
Burr and Blake Zoller and a closing prayer was
recited.
“We owe them to ‘earn this’ as Captain
Miller implored his surviving comrades in
‘Saving Private Ryan’, a fictional story, but a
dead-on accurate portrayal of the bravery
demonstrated by America’s military again and
again.
“We can earn this by remembering the
families who have sacrificed so much,” Reed
said. “We need to be there for them, not just
as members of the American Legion family,
but as American citizens.
“Americans must remember that freedom
isn’t free,” Reed said. “In fact, it’s only possi-

The City of Syracuse will
have a new City Treasurer/Payroll Clerk effective June 1.
Deborah Niedermeyer accepted the position after recent
interviews were conducted by
Mayor Ortiz and City Council.
Nebraska City recently hired a
person in this position paying
$26 an hour based on their experience. After discussion,
based upon Mayor Ortiz’s recommendation, Niedermeyer
will be paid $16 an hour to
start.
Garry Carman and Peggy
Hobscheidt retired effective
May 22.
Eldon Halm, longtime city
employee also recently retired.
An open house in their honor
will be held at the Syracuse Library May 29 from 2-4 p.m.
Public Works Superintendent Garry Carman gave his final report to City Council at
the May meeting.
They approved payment for
new subsurface locator equipment.
The current unit is 12 years
old, and the new one is much
lighter with some upgrades.
After trade-in, the new equipment is being purchased for
$4,247.60.
Public Works employees recently completed the installation of 64 “Welcome to Syracuse” banners. Councilman
Orval Gigstad expressed his
appreciation and noted that
the Chamber of Commerce
was also extremely grateful
for their assistance with the

project.
After Carman’s complete report, Mayor Ortiz noted, “One
thing I learned to appreciate
about you was that you were
always proactive… You did a
good job managing your department. I appreciate that,
your employees appreciate it,
and I know the community appreciates it.”
Chief Deputy Mike Holland
delivered the sheriff ’s report.
The reported hours in town
were drastically low.
However, Deputy Holland
said that the new deputies
were not telling dispatch when
they were in town.
That has been communicated, and the reporting will be
more accurate in the future.
S-D-A High School Principal Joy
Stilmock recently conducted graduate
surveys. She gave a report to the School
Board at their May meeting.
She received a large response from
graduates. In the past, she has conducted the surveys by email and received a low response. This time, the
surveys were sent via text, and many responded quickly. Many of the survey respondents are in college, and they provided valuable feedback (positive and
negative) to Principal Stilmock.

Fossenbarger embracing CMH position
emphasizing quality, community outreach
Laramie Werner
laramie.werner@gmail.com
Laura Lea Fossenbarger was recently assigned
the role of Director of
Quality and Community
Outreach at Community
Memorial Hospital, and
she has jumped right into
her newly created position. Emphasizing convenience and ensuring
quality are her main objectives.
Fossenbarger has always had a passion for
helping people, and she
enjoys educating people in
the community about the
opportunities for patients
to receive the majority of
their medical care right
here in Syracuse.
Through speaking opportunities and one on
one meetings, Fossenbarger wants to promote
wellness, preventative
screenings, new services
and new technology.
She hopes to educate
people that they don’t
need to travel for their
healthcare, and CMH
wants to make it as con-
Fossenbarger
venient as possible.
“If anyone is ever looking for someone to speak
to a group or be a part of
anything, that’s the purpose of this role as well.
I’m not clinical, so if it’s
not me I can tap into quite
a bit of expertise here at
the facility,” she said.
”Getting in front of
people and speaking has
always been a passion of
mine, something I really
enjoyed. In high school,
even before that in middle
school and 4-H, I just really liked it.”
After working in the
manufacturing industry
and also a nursing home,
Fossenbarger’s then boss
encouraged her to pursue
her interest.
At that time, she received her CPHQ (Certified Professional Healthcare Quality) credential,
and six years ago took a
position with CMH as an
executive assistant. Recently, Fossenbarger was
selected as President of
NAQRS (Nebraska Association for Healthcare
Quality Risk and Safety).
Though she spends a
lot of time on education
and community outreach,
Fossenbarger is also the
director of quality at
CMH. She oversees quality studies, teaches courses on quality, and takes
ownership of reporting
those overall findings to
staff and board members.
Though she is very
much enjoys her work,
Fossenbarger is equally
committed to her family.
“Finding a good balance
between home life and
work life is important for
everybody and that just
comes back to being well
in mind, body, and soul.”
she said.
She and her husband,
Jeff, have been married
almost 19 years. He works
for the Nebraska Department of Roads. They live
in rural Johnson with two
sons, Cole (8th grade) and
Caleb (5th grade).
“We stay very active
with attending multiple
sporting events for the
boys” said Fossenbarger.
“I also serve on the Financial Committee at
church, the ParentTeacher-Student carnival
committee, and as Secretary of the Johnson-Brock
Athletic Club.”
While she is obviously
very busy and involved in
many areas, Fossenbarger
is most interested in relationships and helping other people.
“That compassion and
that part of they’re a real
human being and they
want to be heard is so important,” said Fossenbarger.
“You can pick up in a
couple of sentences or a
couple of minutes what is
important to them.”

tion is not available.
Superintendent Brad Buller
brought up a request that will be officially addressed at the next meeting. It was not on the agenda.
Therefore, they could not vote on it.
The date for those who live outside
the school district to “opt in” has
passed. A family recently purchased a home a quarter mile outside the line, and they were under
the impression their children could
attend school in Syracuse. They will
be making a formal request in June
to allow their children (3rd and 7th
grades) to attend Syracuse.
Superintendent Buller said that
they have typically not allowed people to opt in once the date has
passed. He doesn’t like to do that
because he is against having students move when they are only doing so when upset with their district.
By enforcing the dates, it forces
those outside the district to reevaluate that after a time period of
cooling off. Usually, they do not end
up moving to the district in the end.
Due to the nature of this particular
request, he felt it warranted discussion for an exception.
The legislature is in session, and
they have made some changes that
affect schools. In the past, schools
were required to obtain bids of a
project was expected to exceed
$40,000. That limit has been
raised to $100,000.
Under current law, in an emergency situation, government entities
can make immediate purchases.
However, schools were not allowed
to do this. A new bill allows schools
to make emergency purchases when
prudent. Another bill now allows
schools to keep electronic records.
An abundance of paper records at
SDA will be converted to electronic documents thanks to this bill.
The Superintendent was approved as the authorized representative for Federal Programs for the
2015-2016 school year. Treasurer
and Secretary Reports were approved, and all claims were approved as presented.

The students noted many
strengths of S-D-A including specific classes and teachers, college
level classes, the variety of classes offered, and emphasis on time management.
A large number of students requested that SDA teach APA Citations as opposed to the currently
used MLA. Most of the local colleges use APA, and the students had
to learn this once they moved on to
college. They also requested more
emphasis on quizzes and tests and
less on assignments.
Based on this feedback, Principal
Stilmock will be holding meetings
with teachers to evaluate any needed changes. School board members
asked about the possibility of reviewing college transcripts to see
where the students fall after high

This past year we also received $12,250 in grant
money. We receive roughly 25 percent in matching
funds for every dollar run
through our DFS account.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Senators repeal
death penalty
The Legislature voted
to repeal the death penalty this past week. LB 268
was passed by the Legislature on a 32-15 vote.
Governor Ricketts issued a statement prior to
the final vote, urging senators to listen to their constituents and keep Nebraska among the 32
states that have a death
penalty.
In his extensive travels
across the state, the governor said he found overwhelming support for
keeping the death penalty
in Nebraska.
He said that a vote to repeal the death penalty will
give our state’s most
heinous criminals more
lenient sentences.
The governor has indicated that he will veto LB
268. If so, I would predict
that Senator Chambers
will file a motion to override his veto, which will
likely be taken up by the
Legislature next week.
Thirty votes are necessary
to override a veto.
The recent incident at
Tecumseh State Correctional Institution emphasizes the need for the death
penalty.
If the death penalty is repealed, it can no longer be
used as a deterrent for inmates serving life sentences, which could impact the safety of staff.
Opponents of the death
penalty pointed to the high
costs associated with carrying it out. They also cited religious reasons for
not taking a life, the possibility of wrongful convictions, and the emotional turmoil it places on the
victim’s family.
The State of Nebraska
has officially administered
the death penalty since
1901, when executions
were moved from individual counties to the Nebraska State Penitentiary.
The method of execution at that time was hanging.
In 1913, Nebraska’s execution method changed to
the electric chair.
In 1972, the U.S.
Supreme Court ruled in
Furman V. Georgia that
the arbitrary and inconsistent imposition of the
death penalty violated the
U.S. Constitution and constituted cruel and unusual punishment, resulting in
a national moratorium.
Nebraska and other states
enacted new legislation
seeking to overcome the
constitutional defects and
in 1976 the U.S. Supreme
Court upheld the constitutionality of the revised
death penalty statutes.
In 2009, the Legislature
changed the method of execution to lethal injection,
after the Nebraska
Supreme Court ruled in
2008 that the sole use of
the electric chair violated
the constitutional ban on
cruel and unusual punishment.
The State of Nebraska
has carried out 23 executions, eight by hanging
and 15 by means of the
electric chair, with the last
occurring in 1997. Eleven
men are currently on death
row.
Senator Chambers has
been attempting to repeal
the death penalty for forty
years. In 1979, the Legislature passed such legislation, but former Governor
Charles Thone vetoed the
bill.
The Governor signed the
budget bills without a single line-item veto.
Governor Ricketts said
that he did not veto anything from the budget as it
slowed the growth in government spending and it
offered property tax relief,
DAN WATERMEIER
which were his two top
priorities.
Within the budget are
several items that I instigated and am appreciative of the approval from
my fellow senators and the
governor.
Several water projects,
initiated through the Nebraska Resources Development Fund (RDF) to
help protect our state’s
natural resources, while
also producing notable
recreation and economic
benefits for the state, were
never fully funded.
The RDF was phased
out with the passage of
legislation in 2014 that
created the Water Sustainability Fund. In fulfilling the state’s obligation, these projects will
now be fully funded
through a combination of
General Funds and funding from the new Water
Sustainability Fund.
Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers are trained citizens who are appointed
by a judge to speak in court
for the safety and well-being of abused and neglected children.
There are 22 CASA programs serving 38 counties
in Nebraska. It has been
shown that children with a
CASA volunteer are more
likely to find safe, permanent homes, are more likely to be adopted, are half as
likely to re-enter foster
care and are substantially
less likely to spend time in
long-term foster care. I
was able to obtain a stable
source of state funding for
this program.
I introduced legislation
to increase the funding for
the Property Tax Credit
program by $60 million
annually. The Governor
also included this increase
in his budget proposal.
The final biennial budget contains an additional
$64 million annually in
direct property tax relief
for taxpayers, which is
shown as a credit on annual tax statements.
Along with a dozen other senators, I visited the
Tecumseh State Correctional Institution this past
Sunday. We wanted to
show our support for the
staff at TSCI and commend them for their dedicated service during the
recent riot at the facility.
I also joined Governor
Ricketts and Scott Frakes,
the director of the Department of Corrections,
as they toured the facility
mid-week.
The Governor has
pledged to seek solutions
to staffing problems at
TSCI, including high
turnover and job vacancy
rates, stagnant salaries and
mandatory overtime.
As we enter our last days
of this legislative session, I
encourage you to continue
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 email address
is dwatermeier@leg.ne.

number is (402) 471-2733.
SEPTEMBER JOURNEY
Memorial Day questions
Every so often I wonder
“why” I didn’t ask questions and get answers
from my parents and other relatives while they
were still here.
As I was placing flowers
in the cemeteries today
was one of those “why”
days.
I have heard many tales
concerning the work ethic of my Great Grandmother Bornemeier. I
hadn’t thought much
about the fact that she
had left an 80 acre farm to
each of her eight children
until I really studied the
dates on the gravestones.
I have passed on many of
the family genealogy
books to my own children
so I can’t look it up for certain. I can only remember
names of seven of her
family. There was a small
gravestone for a two year
old girl in their cemetery
lot. Maybe she was the
eighth child
August Bornemeier, Sr.
was nine years older than
Margarethe. He died at
the age of 42 leaving his
widow with a large family to raise at the young
age of 33. Seven farms or
eight . . . I wish I had
PHYLLIS BUELL
learned more about her
when I had the opportunity. She must have been
a remarkable woman.
Searching through a
Murdock history book
compiled by Maxine
Cline, I found the story
about Margarethe carrying the plowshares to
South Bend or Weeping
Water herself to be sharpened so the horses could
rest for the next day’s
work.
There is also a story
about her stepping on rattlesnakes in the prairie. I
don’t think I inherited
that much courage from
her. One rattlesnake sighting and I would have been
at the top of the windmill
– and I don’t like heights
either!
The more than abundant rains have left the
cemeteries luxurious this
spring.
I’m certain it was a
nightmare for the caretakers to have them looking in tip top condition for
the many visitors this Memorial Day. Each and
every one we visited was
especially beautiful this
year.
The pioneer cemeteries are filled with many
stories of courage and
steadfast spirit. I hope
many of those families
have been better at learning the stories than I have
been.
Another gathering that
takes place juast before
Memorial Day is the Elmwood Alumni Banquet.
Four of the five living
members of my class attended last night. We lost
two members this past
year.
I’ve decided either our
eyesight is failing at the
same rate as the rest of our
bodies or we think it is going to make everyone feel
better if we exclaim “Oh, it
is so good to see you and
you haven’t changed a bit.”
There was a lot of that going on.
We were recalling what
a thrill and an “honor” it
was to serve the banquet
when we were juniors.
Some of the church ladies
aid groups used to cook
the meal and garden flowers decorated the tables,
way back when.
Then, times changed
and a local caterer or
group provided the meal.
It was a buffet and we
served ourselves. Commercial floral arrangements graced the tables.
High school junior classes were too involved to
take time out on a Saturday night for such an activity.
Last night a grocery
store from Lincoln catered
the meal and thank goodness peonies and iris from
someone’s garden decorated the tables along with
a blue crepe paper ribbon on the white tablecloths. Getting back to
basics a little bit.
June is right around the
corner. Schools are out
for the year and farmers
are still waiting for the
ground to dry out enough
to plant – a month or so
later than normal.
Something tells me we’ll
be wishing for some rain
when July rolls around.
DIGGING UP ROOTS
Homesteaders murdered
Editor’s Note: This is
part two of a series about
Otoe Indians.
The 4th of July Celebration at Mattingly’s Mill
near Fairbury found the
Otoe Indians joining in,
especially enjoying that
new steam whistle, but
after awhile most of them,
anxious to get home from
their buffalo hunt, headed
on out toward the reservation. Neescaw, however,
lingered. There was another attraction for him.
A fellow named John
Wehn had been selling
liquor without a license in
Fairbury for several
months and although
there had been several
complaints filed with the
law, nothing had been
done about it. The celebration offered a great opportunity for him to make
extra money and he had
sold his whiskey to several of the Indians from the
reservation, Neescaw included.
As the day wore on,
Neescaw was in a drunken state and started making threats against sever-
SHIRLEY GILFERT
al white men who were
there. He caused enough
of a ruckus that several attendees remembered him.
When he finally started
for Medicine Hat’s camp
he was in a pretty sorry
state.
Meanwhile, two homesteaders had set up camp
about four miles from the
small village of Rock
Creek where there was
plenty of water and grass
for their horses. They had
met on the trail and decided to make camp together.
One man was S. N. Pasco, about fifty years old.
He had taken a claim in
Republican
County,
Kansas and was traveling
to Nemaha County to visit relatives. The other fellow, P.H. Walters, lived
near Nebraska City, but
had been to his claim near
White Rock, Kansas, and
was returning home with
a load of corn.
The men had set up
camp and were cutting
grass for the horses when
two pistol shots rang out.
Pasco dropped immediately with a bullet in his
brain. Walters tried to
defend himself with the
scythe he had been using, but he also took two
shots, one through his left
eye and the other entering
his brain behind his left
ear. Both men had powder
burns, indicating they had
been shot at a very close
range.
The next morning a
young man named Lewis
Wagner was walking the
trail when he spotted the
horses. Hoping to catch a
ride into Beatrice, he approached the camp. At
first he thought the men
were sleeping, but soon re-
alized both were dead. He
immediately hurried back
up the trail to the nearest
homestead, that of Mr.
E.D. Brickley, to report
what he had found. Brickley went to the camp to
verify Wagner’s story and
then hurried back to Fairbury to report the murders.
Sheriff S. J. Alexander
went to the camp and
looked for clues to the
person who could conceive of such a crime. No
motive was evident. They
had not been robbed. Pasco’s pocketbook still contained the ten cents that
his wife had said was what
he had left home with.
The horses were still in
place and in harness. Neither man had any known
enemies.
The sheriff immediately offered a reward and
area newspapers were
quick to report the senseless crime, noting that
“some drunken Indians
from the Otoe reservation
were suspected.”
Now the aid of the Indian agent was needed.
Next week we learn about
Major A. H. Green, the
Quaker Indian agent, and
how he offered assistance
in solving the murders.

Tri Valley Bank receives honor
Independent Banker, the
award-winning magazine
of the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) and the nation’s
number-one source for
community banking news,
recognized Tri Valley Bank,
Talmage, as an ICBA top
performer in its May issue.
Tri Valley Bank’s recognition is based on its earnings and operational efficiencies throughout 2014.
“Whether serving rural,
suburban or large metropolitan areas, community
banks operate with the
same focus by always putting their customers and
communities first,” said
Chris Lorence, ICBA executive vice president and
chief marketing officer.
“Tri Valley Bank knows
its local market and thrives
because it stays true to the
principles of community
banking while showcasing drive, ingenuity and
community commitment,”
Lorence continued.
“Tri Valley Bank demonstrates integrity, enthusiasm and inventiveness in
the financial industry, and
ICBA is proud to recognize
it for its outstanding efforts.”
This year’s Independent
Banker Top Performers
rankings showed the importance of focusing on
serving customers and
communities, first and
foremost.
Those on the list deliver
superior service, follow
disciplined pricing models
and support their local
communities and neighborhoods.
These community banks
stick to well-known industry fundamentals,
while embracing the
changing industry landscape.
As part of its annual
performance rankings of
ICBA member institutions, Independent Banker pulled year-end FDIC
call report earnings data to
identify the top 25 community banks in six asset-size categories, both
for Subchapter C corporation and Subchapter S corporation banks.
Each top-25 listing
measures community
banks by their return on
average assets (ROA) and
return on average equity
(ROE) ratios for all of
2014.
“Tri Valley Bank is delighted to be recognized as
an ICBA top performer,”
said TiAnn Allen, president, Tri Valley Bank. “As a
proud member of the
Southeast Nebraska community, we credit our loyal
local customers and dedicated employees for our
success. We look forward
to serving the unique
needs of our community
and helping it grow and
prosper in the years to
come,” she said.

Michigan baseball
claims Big 10 title
MINNEAPOLIS The Michigan baseball
team claimed its ninth
Big Ten Tournament title, and first since 2008,
defeating Maryland 4-3
in Sunday's championship game. The
Wolverines earn the
conference's automatic bid to advance to the
NCAA Tournament.
The third-seeded
Wolverines (37-23)
went undefeated in
tournament action, defeating sixth-seeded Indiana in the tournament-opening game,
knocking off No. 2 Iowa
on day two and eliminating top-seeded Illinois to advance to the
championship game.
Maryland was the
first to score as Kevin
Smith hit a sacrifice fly
to right field, scoring
Nick Cieri for a 1-0 lead
in the top of the third
inning. Michigan responded with four runs
in the bottom of the
fourth as Cody Bruder
opened the scoring with
a single to left center
that drove in Jackson
Glines.
Carmen Benedetti
reached on a fielder's
choice and was brought
home by a Kevin White
single to left center.
Bruder crossed the
plate on a wild pitch,
while Kevin White was
walked home.
The Terrapins (3921) did not let up, cashing in a run in the
eighth inning with a
pair of walks followed
by a Jose Cuas RBIdouble to right field.
Maryland pulled with-
in one run with the
bases loaded in the
ninth inning, but came
up short.
Michigan capitalized
on six hits and did not
commit an error, while
Maryland recorded seven hits and one error.
Michigan's Brett Adcock picked up the win,
striking out four batters and allowing one
run on two hits in 5.2
innings of work. The
tournament's Most
Outstanding Player Jacob Cronenworth was
credited with the save.

earned run, striking out
three in 3.1 innings of

Any athlete can relate to SyracuseDunbar-Avoca’s Jake Heitkamp, regardless of their skill level. At the end
of the day, he wants what everyone
wants—to improve.
After finishing his final event at
state track at Omaha Burke Stadium
Saturday, Heitkamp took a few minutes to review his performances and
determined he was most pleased
with Friday’s fifth place triple jump
effort.
Heitkamp had earned a first place
medal in the high jump on Friday.
He was eighth in his final event of the
meet, Saturday’s long jump.
Why did he pick the triple jump as
his best state event?
Simple. He achieved a personal
best.
“I am more happy about my triple
jump performance than my high
jump performance because I beat
myself,” Heitkamp said. “That’s kind
of what I am going for each event—
just improving.
“If you don’t improve, you don’t get
anywhere in life.”
Not only is that a good observation
by the Rocket sophomore, it’s also a
message that coaches state wide are
hoping to get across to their athletes.
Don’t compete with others. Compete
with yourself.
Heitkamp competes with himself
on a continual basis. Last year, after
failing to place in the Class B state
high jump, Heitkamp set his sights
on improvement.
He leaped 6’2” last year at state.
Early on in the season this year he
had cleared 6’9”.
That’s a lot of improvement. And
Heitkamp knew that if he could
have beaten his previous best at
state, he would be right in the mix for
the all class gold medal.
Heitkamp said he was pleased
with how his high jumps were going
on Friday. Despite dealing with a rain
delay, Heitkamp felt strong and was
comfortable in clearing the heights
up to and including 6’6”.
Then something changed. He got
off his game plan.
When the bar went up to 6’8”,
Heitkamp let adrenaline get the
better of him. And his form suffered.
“I wasn’t using my form as much
as I should have been. That’s what
caused me to miss those heights,”
said Heitkamp.
Yes, there is still room for improvement. Better form might have
resulted in an all class gold for the
high jump.
And a little bit better endurance
might have had Heitkamp finishing
higher in the long jump standings.
The triple jump personal best was
great, but it also gave Heitkamp another mark to try to beat.
With the high school season over,
Heitkamp said he will simply continue his efforts to eclipse prior performances. Since track and field
success depends on form, Heitkamp
said he’ll continue to seek refinement
of those skills. He’ll work to get
stronger to leap higher and farther.
Ultimately, the goal is to be the
best.
“I always have desires to be the
best in the state, whether it’s in my
class or someone else’s class,” said
Heitkamp. “I don’t like anybody
beating me. I am a really competitive
person. I just want to be great.”

Nemaha NRD Board Meeting Report
Tecumseh – The Nemaha Natural Resources District board of directors met Thursday, May 14, for their regular, monthly meeting in
Tecumseh. Several well permits applications were once again part of the
agenda. Craig Behrends, Chad & Carol Herr, and Anthony & Janet Ahern
each had a pair of permits for wells intended to be comingled in order to
achieve their desired flow rate. In addition to approving those permits, others receiving approval were for Kelvin Korver, Randy Bohling, Harlan
Plager, and JAG Rentals LLC.
The board revisited an application made last month by Kelvin
Korver for a transfer permit in Lancaster County. His original well permit
was approved a couple of years ago, prior to changes in the District’s
groundwater rules; and at that time he had intended and had begun plans
to transfer water to an adjacent section of land. Because he presented sufficient evidence to show that the transfer began prior to the recent rule
change, the board approved the transfer.
A request by Eric Trout for an additional payment on a cost-share
project was reviewed by the Programs and Projects Committee. When
Trout had applied for funds in May, 2014, to install a pipeline and tanks in
a planned grazing system, some incorrect figures were used to prepare the
estimate of his cost-share assistance. When the work was completed this
May, the error was discovered, which resulted in $1,476.10 less cost-share
assistance. Since he had proceeded with the work on the assumption he
would receive the maximum cost-share available, the board voted to pay
him the additional amount.
Last month the board selected Lake Tech Consulting to assist with
the development of a Nemaha Basin Water Quality Management Plan.
Following that action a contract was prepared and submitted to the board
for their approval. The fee for this work is $150,000, with the plan to be
completed and submitted to the Nebraska Department of Environmental
Quality by June, 2016. This plan is required to be in place in order to qualify for future funding from the EPA Section 319 program.
May is the month when Urban Special Project Program funding is
reviewed. One new application and one request for extension were presented. The City of Auburn was approved last year for a trail project
around their recreation complex on the north side of town. Because of
engineering and construction delays, they requested an extension beyond
the June 1, 2015, deadline. Since some of the project includes native tree
and grass plantings, the board approved an extension until December 1,
2015, to finish all the work. The new application considered was from the
Village of Unadilla and also for a trail project within their village park. It
includes a 2500-foot concrete trail, benches, and signage. The board
approved their request for up to $25,000 in matching funds with the deadline for completion of June 1, 2016.
No action was taken on a project to produce a documentary about the
history of Natural Resources Districts. The Nebraska Association of
Resources Districts is investigating the program and requested input from
each NRD regarding interest in pursuing it. The board’s Operations and
Education Committee expressed support for the program. More information on costs, timetables, and production will be available at a later date.
A slightly revised amendment to an agreement with Nemaha County
for the upgrade of Road 736, as it is involved with the Duck Creek
Watershed project, was reviewed by the Executive Committee. Previously
approved by the NRD board, the County asked to add a couple of clarifications regarding calculation of in-kind contributions and future repair and
maintenance responsibilities. Following the changes the NRD board
approved the amendment to the agreement.
No action was taken on the Syracuse drainage issues or the FY2016
salary schedule. More investigation and discussions with the City of
Syracuse may be needed to determine if the NRD can be of assistance with
a drainage issue in the city. The salary discussion will appear on the agenda again next month when more information is available. The meeting
adjourned at 9:45 p.m. The next regular meeting of the Nemaha Natural
Resources District board of directors will be Thursday, June 11, beginning
at 8:00 p.m. Committees will meet prior to the regular meeting.

The
Baylor & Assocs
Antes Family
extends sincere
gratitude to Pastor Gary
Ganger for the comfort and
solace of his visits and
prayers, and for the simple
yet heartfelt graveside and
memorial services he conducted for us. His words
captured the true essence of
Dad for all of us.
We are especiallly grateful
to UCC for allowing us the
use of their church for the
memorial service, and to the
UMW for providing lunch.
As a neighbor to our former
church (United Methodist)
which Dad attended all his
life, UCC truly felt like
“home”.
Dad will be greatly missed
by us and by many of you
but the memories we share
of his life and time with us
will bring comfort for years
to come. The outpouring of
love and sympathy from
everyone in the community
has made a profound and
lasting impression on all of
us. Our family is also comforted in the knowledge that
Dad is once again reunited
with his beloved Fay...this
time forever.
In accordance with Dad’s
wishes, gifts in his memory
will be divided among the
Syracuse Rescue Unit, the
Volunteer Fire Department,
and the Post Home.
God Bless

S-D-A’s new greenhouse serves
to enhance agriculture learning
Laramie Werner
laramie.werner@gmail.com
Syracuse-Dunbar-Avoca High School now has a
greenhouse for use in agricultural education.
The greenhouse was delivered at the end of March
and students have been
receiving valuable handson education since then.
Though the greenhouse
was fully assembled at delivery, S-D-A staff-member
Ken Aden assisted greatly
by building shelves and
installing shade covers.
The students in Horticulture and Plant Science
classes already spent time
working at the class’s community garden through-
out the year (including
FFA students that continue through the summer).
The greenhouse enhances their ability to grow
plants from seeds in cups.
Once the plants are big
enough, they can be transplanted to the community
garden.
The greenhouse even allows students to do stem
cutting to propagate
plants, according to
teacher Tim Arkfeld. In
the past, when they attempted any type of growing with artificial lights, it
was not effective.
The food they grow all
gets donated to various organizations in the community. In addition to
their work in the community garden, the students
work on other projects.
They recently completed
a project planting in front
of the high school by the
sign. The students said it
was difficult to pull up the
netting underneath the existing plants, but they had
fun with it by competing
with each other on who
could do it the fastest.
Agricultural education
at S-D-A includes much
more than classroom
learning.
Due to the community
garden, grounds, and the
greenhouse, they have
multiple opportunities for
hands-on education to enhance their experience.

Seat belt campaign strives for safety
Governor Pete Ricketts
and Nebraska law enforcement and public safety officials recently joined forces to
promote safe travel and the
”Click It or Ticket” initiative.
This is the 11th year the
state has participated in the
national safety campaign,
which began May 18 and
runs through May 31.
”We are quickly approaching a period of increased travel on Nebraska
roadways during the busy
summer months,” said
Governor Ricketts.
So far in 2015, the state
has recorded 86 traffic fatalities, up from 75 fatalities
compared to the same period one year ago. Of the 70
occupants who died in motor vehicle crashes on Nebraska roadways, 55 of them
were not wearing seat belts.
“Federal highway safety
grant funding provides us
the ability to put additional
troopers, deputies, and offi-
cers on Nebraska roadways
over this very busy two week
period,” said Col. Bradley
Rice, Superintendent of the
Nebraska State Patrol. “By
reminding drivers of the
need for voluntary compliance with all traffic safety
laws, we hope to positively
influence safe driver behavior throughout the summer
travel season.”
In addition to the Nebraska State Patrol, the
”Click It or Ticket” enforcement mobilization involves
30 county sheriff ’s offices
and 19 community police
departments from across
the state.
The effort provides more
than 7,500 hours of additional traffic enforcement,
emphasizing the use of seat
belts and proper child restraints.
Road construction projects typically increase during
the summer months. Drivers are encouraged to pay
extra attention in work
zones and to remember that
fines for infractions double
when workers are present.
”Hundreds of times each
year, motorists distracted,
speeding or otherwise unable to control their vehicles
stray into highway work
zones,” said Moe Jamshidi,
acting director of the Nebraska Department of
Roads. “We simply want to
remind drivers to be extra
alert as they approach the
cones and the barrels.
Please, slowdown in work
zones.”
Motorists are also reminded that Nebraska law
requires drivers to move
over for emergency vehicles.
”Summer travels in Nebraska can be safe travels if
we all do our part,” said
Ricketts. “I urge all drivers to
watch out for motorcyclists
and pedestrians, never drive
impaired or distracted, and
pay extra attention in work
zones.”
