Public input sought for comprehensive plan
Tammy Partsch
The News-Press
ebraska CityвЂ™s community planners are asking
for public input on
what Nebraska CityвЂ™s future
should look like.
At a public town hall meeting
on Wednesday, Oct. 8, Olsson
Associates, dPlanit, and students from the University of
N
Nebraska-Lincoln College of Architecture presented statistical
findings about Nebraska City.
The group has spent the last
few months collecting data regarding demographics, infrastructure, public services, natural resources, environmental issues, market and consumer patterns, economic development
opportunities, historical and
cultural resources, transporta-
tion systems, and existing land
use within the Nebraska City jurisdiction.
All of that data will be complied with comments from local
citizens about perceived opinions on Nebraska CityвЂ™s future
growth.
From that, a unified comprehensive plan will be presented to
the city.
вЂњUsually, communities redo
their comprehensive plan every
ten years or so,вЂќ said Dave
Knopick, owner of dPlanit, a
professional planning consulting
company. вЂњThe trend now, however, is to set a document you
can build on so you are not
rewriting it all the time. If you
make it a living document and
look at it yearly, you can make

"Everybody's OK, right?" was the
only question answered by an employee at the Nebraska City WalMart late Thursday night, just a few
hours after receiving a bomb threat.
"Yes," the employee said hurriedly,
after directing all media inquiries to
1-800-WAL-MART.
The alleged bomb threat, which was
reported to police just before 7 p.m.
on Thursday, caused the store to shut
down for more than an hour while police and Wal-Mart staff searched the
building.
"There were no specifics given of
any particular item we should be
looking for вЂ“ just a blatant statement
that there was a bomb in the building," said Sgt. Chris Bando of the Nebraska City Police Department.
"Three managers and three officers
searched the premises once, then
some employees were allowed in to do
a second search, and then the rest of
the employees were allowed in to do
a third search.
"Nothing was found to be suspicious."
Bando said there were no "known

NEMAHA NRD MINUTES
From the Nemaha
Natural Resources
District
TECUMSEH вЂ“ Water
was on the mind of many
at the Nemaha Natural
Resources DistrictвЂ™s regular meeting Thursday, October 9.
Following a period this
summer when some domestic wells in the Barada
area of Richardson County failed, landowners there
asked the NRD for help in
determining the cause.
They requested a moratorium be placed on approval of any further irrigation wells in the area to
allow time to study possible impacts on domestic
well supplies.
However, with proposed
changes to the NRDвЂ™s
groundwater management
area rules and regulations
set to be acted upon in
November, it was felt the
revised rules and scoring
system would effectively
eliminate many high capacity wells in that area
from approval.
NRD staff will continue
to work with landowners
in that area to monitor
water levels and assist with
registration of domestic
wells to help protect them
from encroachment by
high capacity wells.
Last month the board
tabled action on a motion
to reconsider a previously
denied well permit for
Harlan Plager.
After voting to take up
discussion and action on
that motion, the board narrowly defeated the original
motion in a 9-8-1 vote.
Much discussion and concern revolved around what
kind of restrictions could
be placed on approval of
another permit, whether
reconsideration of a permit
should even be allowed,
and the prevailing concerns from the Pawnee
County Rural Water District about the proximity to

Volunteers Cheri Becerra Madsen and Joan
Dutt, both of Nebraska
City, showed students the
difference between a nonsmoker's lungs compared
to a smoker's lungs by
first breathing through a
straw normally and then
plugging their noses while
breathing through a straw.
Joan Dutt, who is also a
radiologic technologist at
CHI Health St. Mary's
hospital, said the peak
ages of when children
start smoking are between
the ages of 11 and 12. That
surprised many students.
At the end of the handson event, students returned to classes with
plastic bags full of information, coloring pages,
stickers, pencils, snacks
and more.
Gorham said the Relay
Recess at Hayward was
the only one held in Otoe
County.
"It's an educational opportunity for kids to learn
about preventative measures to lower your risk of
cancer," she said.

event was a hit with students.

wells.
In subsequent action on
another permit for a well in
Richardson County to be
used to fill a pond, the
board also denied approval
of that permit.
In other action, four bids
to place rip rap on five watershed structures were
awarded to B.A.B., Inc.,
from Adams. They submitted the low bid in each
instance, and only two or
three bids were received on
each project. Work is
scheduled to be completed
yet this fall, and the NRD
is contracting separately
for the rip rap and hauling.
Christy Haddan from
Schulz and Associates accounting firm in Beatrice
was on hand to review the
DistrictвЂ™s FY2014 audit report. She once again reported that the DistrictвЂ™s financial standing was favorable and that no problems or issues were uncovered in their review.
The board opted to delay
action to approve the report, however, until next
month to allow members
time to study it in greater
detail.
A proposal from Beehive Industries to develop
a database collection system to be used to track
and record information
about the watersheds and
structures in the District
was considered.
The initial, total cost to
set up the data and provide
support, training, and updates was $7,000 with a
subsequent annual maintenance fee of $3,600.
Board approval was granted for the system, which
does not include the cost of
the hardware required for
employees to use the system in the field.
Several items in conjunction with the Duck
Creek project were discussed and/or acted upon.
First the board authorized
the manager to proceed
with incorporating dirt
work for road improvements in with the bidding
process for the dam itself.
In addition some revisions
were approved to the land
rights settlement with the
major landowner on the
project.
The change reduced the
purchase area by about
two acres but provided an
additional seven acres for
mitigation. Finally the
board approved an agreement with the Nebraska
Game and Parks Commission that would have them
provide $500,000 in costshare assistance toward
the in-lake, fisheries related recreation facilities.
With the recent death
of NRD director, John Albrecht from Nebraska City,
the board was required to
make a decision on how to
fill the vacancy. Since AlbrechtвЂ™s term was set to
expire at the end of December anyway, their action was to declare the seat
in Subdistrict 4 vacant and
designate January 8, 2015,
as the first date on which to
consider applications to
appoint someone to fill it.
Because of changes in state
law, the appointment will
only be for a two-year term
after which the seat will be
up for election in 2016 for
another two years.
The next regular meeting of the Nemaha NRD
board of directors will be
Thursday, November 13,
2014, at the NRD headquarters in Tecumseh.
Starting in November and
extending through March,
regular meetings will begin
an hour earlier at 7:00
p.m. with committees
meeting just prior to each
regular meeting. In addition a public hearing will
take place on November 13
at 5:00 p.m. to receive testimony on the proposed
changes to the rules and
regulations for groundwater quality management
areas.

year, and our unclaimed
property specialists stayed
very busy helping visitors
search for property and
file claims,вЂќ Stenberg said.
вЂњInterest from fairgoers,
calls to our office, and visitors to our website tell us
that Nebraskans are becoming more familiar
with our unclaimed property program and are taking advantage of opportunities to search for
themselves, their businesses, and their family
members.вЂќ
For the past two years,
both the number of claims
paid and the total dollar
value of claims paid as a
result of State Fair activity have increased significantly, Stenberg said. In
2012, for comparison,
only about $17,500 was
paid to fairgoers. About
90 claims were paid that
year as a result of State
Fair activity.
Stenberg pointed out
that the $53,000 paid to
fairgoers in 2014 and the
$52,000 paid in 2013 far
exceed previous annual
totals for all outreach
events. Generally unclaimed property specialists staff a dozen or so
events throughout the
state each year. Total
amounts paid as a result
of all outreach events in
recent years include the
following amounts:
2008 вЂ“$24,637; 172
claims
2009 вЂ“ $26,797; 130
claims
2010 вЂ“ $9,750; 88
claims
2011- $31,113, 140
claims
Stenberg said he plans
to continue to promote
the unclaimed property
program and to look for
innovative ways to help
connect Nebraskans with
property that is rightfully
theirs. The TreasurerвЂ™s Office database includes
more than $135 million in
unclaimed property for
350,000 people, businesses, and organizations.
So far in 2014, more
than $8.3 million has
been paid. That represents more than 14,200
claims paid.
The unclaimed property staff вЂ™s final outreach
event of the year will be
Nov. 19-20 at the Gateway
Ag Expo in Kearney. The
Northeast Nebraska Farm
and Equipment Show in
Norfolk on Jan. 14-15 will
kick off outreach events
for 2015.
Unclaimed property
consists of cash and other
financial assets that are
considered lost or abandoned after an owner cannot be located for a specific period of time. The
most common forms of
unclaimed property are
court deposits, dividends,
dormant accounts, gift
certificates, insurance payments, lost IRAs, matured
CDs, rebates, refunds,
stock and mutual funds,
utility deposits, and
wages.
Nebraskans can search
for unclaimed property at
any time through the
TreasurerвЂ™s Office website
at www.treasurer.org or
by calling 402-471-8497
or 877-572-9688 (toll
free). The Unclaimed
Property Division office
at 809 P St. in Lincoln is
open 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Visitors can also search for
property and file claims at
the State TreasurerвЂ™s office
in Suite 2005 of the State
Capitol.
Jana Langemach is Director of Communications
and Executive Assistant to

How much is
enough?
I
n 1913, the federal income tax started as
four pages of instructions.
Today, the tax code spans
more than 70,000 pages.
The income tax system in
the United States has been
called everything from a
disaster to an abomination.
According to a Tax Foundation report entitled,
"Putting a Face on America's
Tax Returns," it takes Americans up to 7 billion work
hours each year to complete the paperwork required by the IRS.
In addition, it costs individual and corporate taxpayers more than $165 billion a year, or about 13% of
all federal income taxes collected, to comply with the
tax code.
If you talk to liberals they
will tell you that the rich
donвЂ™t pay their fair share
and that the tax burden falls
disproportionately on the
poor and middle class but
JASON COTE
a flat tax, where every taxpayer pays the same percentage, or a consumption
tax where you only pay a tax
on the things that you buy.
Both have advantages and
disadvantages but either option would simplify things
tremendously.
It would end all the problems associated with modern day accounting and
would make it less attractive
for businesses to leave profits off shore in order to avoid
As it stands now the U.S. tax code
is full of special interest provisions
and exemptions for political
donors.
Liberals say that the rich arenвЂ™t
paying their fair share but the top
20% of Americans are paying 70%
of the income taxes and the lowest
20% receive almost $23,000 in
вЂњgovernment transfers.вЂќ
the numbers donвЂ™t bear that
out.
Taxpayers earning less
than $100,000 a year account for about 18% of all
income taxes, while those
earning
more
than
$100,000 pay more than
80% of the taxes.
Taxpayers earning $1 million or more a year make
11% of all income but pay
23% of all income taxes.
Looking at it another way,
the top 1% of income earners pay about 37% of all income taxes while the top
10% pay 70% and the bottom 90% pay only 30% of
taxes.
All this talk about how the
rich don't pay their fair share
is nonsense. But who is actually not paying their fair
share? According to a report
from the Congressional
Budget Office the bottom
40% of households in
America actually paid a negative 9% of income tax
which resulted in them
making over $18,000 from
the top 40%.
Half of the American citizens supporting the other
half is not the way the system was intended to operate. In order to get the federal income tax passed by
Congress, President Wilson
promised that the tax rate
on personal incomes would
never exceed 3% of income,
and that it would only be assessed on incomes over
$10,000 a year, which is
equivalent to about
$250,000 today.
I believe that the problem
isnвЂ™t the amount of taxes
paid by each group but the
percentage that each group
pays in taxes. That is why
many have advocated for
scrapping the whole system
and replacing it with either
taxes. Tax forms would be
one page and would take
only a few minutes. In addition, all of the IRS scandals of targeting of rival political groups would be over
as would powerful peoplesвЂ™
ability to use it to hurt and
destroy political enemies.
Much of the personal information that the IRS collects is a terrible invasion of
privacy and is completely
unneeded.
Speaking on Fox News
recently, Senator Ted Cruz
said, вЂњWe ought to abolish
the IRS and instead move to
a simple flat tax. It ought to
be just a simple, one-page
postcard.вЂќ
As it stands now the U.S.
tax code is full of special interest provisions and exemptions for political
donors.
Liberals say that the rich
arenвЂ™t paying their fair share
but the top 20% of Americans are paying 70% of the
income taxes and the lowest
20% receive almost
$23,000 in вЂњgovernment
transfers.вЂќ
This is crazy and it just
goes to prove that the leftвЂ™s
class warfare speech is simply a fairytale.
The left has taught its followers that being rich is
evil. They believe that all
wealth is made off the backs
of poor people who are left
to pick up the scraps or
starve on the street.
They treat taxes as a
weapon and tell companies
and individuals that they
must pay more and if they
object, they are racist or accused of being unpatriotic.
This is not how America is
supposed to operate.
The president calls this
вЂњspreading the wealth
around.вЂќ I call it tyranny.

DIGGING UP ROOTS
Time for Ghosts and Goblins
ebraska in the autumn! Is there
anything more
flawless?
As far as weather is concerned, we have little to
brag about the other three
seasons, but when October
comes, the blazing trees,
the pleasantly warm days
and cool nights, the bounty of the harvestвЂ¦вЂ¦who
could ask for more blessings than that? Most people say itвЂ™s their favorite
time of the year.
I have another reason for
loving October and thatвЂ™s
the wonderful folk tales
that can be found in our
lore. I absolutely love ghost
stories. Those of you who
have my book know I have
spent years researching the
stories of old houses whose
occupants refuse to leave,
even after death. Many
Otoe Countians have come
to me with tales of a soft
footstep on the stairs or a
shadow that darts away
when you dare to look
again, but most folks donвЂ™t
want to make these stories
public for fear of ridicule. I
respect their privacy but I
love the chill they provide in
the telling.
N
SHIRLEY
GILFERT
I am familiar with at
least three documented
haunted houses in Otoe
County. IвЂ™m sure there are
many more. Since Halloween is almost upon us,
it is time to share a spooky
tale or two.
Did you know that the
best known house in Otoe
County is haunted? It has
been said that when
tourists leave and the house
is closed for the winter,
that Caroline Morton, the
beloved mistress of Arbor
Lodge, once more takes
command of her home.
She has been heard walk-
ing down the hall toward
her bedroom at night and
the imprint of her body
can sometimes be seen on
her bedspread where she
has rested
The house and gardens
are kept as authentic as
possible to the era in which
Caroline Morton lived and
sometimes she seems to
provide the information
needed when the restoration is done. In one such instance, new wall paper was
to be replaced and old
books appeared that provided wall paper designs of
the right vintage, or another time, plans suddenly appeared for the koi
pond that was in the planning stages of restoration.
There has never been
anything evil related to
what is believed to be CarolineвЂ™s haunting. She simply
wants to stick around and
make sure her home is well
cared for, but there have
been incidents that have
frightened guides who
worked there.
For example, one tour
guide became quite agitated when she heard several
raps on a closed door on the
second floor. She came
down the steps at a very
brisk pace and refused to go
up on the second floor
again.
Although several strange
or out of place sounds occur
occasionally, there has never been anything of a menacing nature and not so
much as a shadow has been
seen by the superintendent
or his assistant.
Once, a pair of visiting
tourists reported they had
seen two figures in oldfashioned clothes walking
in the garden. The figures
faded away when they approached.
Perhaps SterlingвЂ™s spirit
decided to spend some
time at home and he and
Caroline strolled in the garden, but that would have
been an unusual occurrence when both were alive,
as it was Caroline who saw
that everything ran
smoothly while Sterling
was busy politicking.
If Caroline MortonвЂ™s spirit does remain at Arbor
Lodge, it is there to make
sure things run as smoothly as they did when she
lived. She has been determined to be a welcome
ghost.
participant stated that she
would require economic
terminology be changed
and if the teacher didnвЂ™t
teach the way she desired
she would want recourse
against the teacher.
This is a perfect example
of censorship and violation of academic freedom.
I, hearing that little voice
within me directing me to
take a stand, challenged
that participant.
On October 23, 2008,
Matthew Rothchild wrote:
William Ayers, a professor
of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, was invited to deliver
the keynote speech at an
education conference at
theUNL on November 15,
2008.
His address was billed as,
вЂњWe Are Each OtherвЂ™s
Keepers: Research to
Change the WorldвЂќ.
One lost soul stated,
вЂњGive me a sniper rifle and
a good firing position and I
shall move Bill AyersвЂ™ gray
matterвЂќ. Another wrote, вЂњI
wonder what flag he wants
on his coffinвЂќ.
On October 17, Mario
Scalora, associate professor
of psychology wrote, вЂњbecause of вЂ�substantial security concernвЂ™вЂќ his speech
was cancelledвЂќ
вЂњThis is an embarrassment to the University of
Nebraska and the state of
Nebraska,вЂќ Governor Dave
Heineman told the Lincoln Journal Star, вЂњBill Ayers is a well-known radical
who should never have
been invited to the Uni-
versity of Nebraska.вЂќ
Some faculty members of
UNL and this writer
sharply criticized this decision and statement. It is a
вЂњchilling blow to academic
freedom on our campus,
вЂњsaid one, вЂњand there is a lot
of frustration and anger
from faculty, including
some threats to leave
UNL refused to participate in the censored study
stating that the amendment prevented a study
which should include the
influence of humans on
the climate.
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has now
completed their own study
which includes human behaviors and has developed
a climate change degree
program.
According to Susan
Campbell BartolettiвЂ™s 2005
Copyright, вЂњHitler YouthвЂќ,
Nazi Germany censored
newspapers, radio broadcasts, movies, sermons and
classroom lessons. She further stated that on May
10, 1933 Nazi Storm Troopers and Hitler youth carried
flaming torches and set fire
to banned books. The
banned books included titles written by Jewish authors as well as authors
considered вЂњliberalвЂќ by the
Nazi Party.
In conclusion, questions
surface. Why are people
intimidated by the free
search for truth and the
free expression of ideas for
the common good? Why
do they feel the need to censor? What are they hiding?
GUEST COLUMNIST
Academic freedom
Alvin Guenther
Special to the News-Press
n September 23,
2014 the Lincoln
Journal Star reported that hundreds of
students, supported by
the College Board that
administers high school
Advanced Placement
courses, walked out of
classrooms around suburban Denver in protest
over a conservative-led
school board proposal to
focus censored history
education on topics that
promote citizenship, patriotism and respect for
authority.
The board does not want
to вЂњencourage or condone
civil disorder, social strike
or disregard of the law.вЂќ It
was hoped that the school
boards proposal would provide a show of civil disobedience toward new educational standards.
The College Board said
that the social order must
sometimes be disrupted
for the common good,
pointing to the Boston Tea
Party, the American Revolution and the civil rights
movement as examples.
To my chagrin, but not
unexpected, several Nebraska State Board of Education members are currently promoting similar
censorship of the Nebraska
history standards. Via
phone calls to the State
Board of Education and
O
State Department of Education, I have voiced my
disapproval of censorship.
During the week of August 18, 2014, I explained
the Common Core Standards as a group of new
standards established by
educators across our nation
that place heavy emphasis
on the reading of informational and non-fiction writing.
Academic freedom and
critical thinking are a vital
component of the Common Core. Academic freedom is to insure institutions of higher education
are conducted for the common good. The common
good depends upon the
free search for truth and the
free expression of ideas.
To channel the thinking
process through board policy which deprives the student the opportunity to
pursue truth and free expression of ideas for the
common good would constitute censorship and is a
violation of academic freedom. The College Board
warned that any course
that is censored shall not
use the Advanced Placement designation.
I once had the opportunity to be associated with
the Nebraska State Department of EducationвЂ™s
rewriting of the state standards for social studies. I
wished to increase the requirement of macro and
micro economics. A fellow
prints. вЂњCurrentsвЂќ was created by photographing 131
objects and then printing
and cutting each object out
to animate each object a
frame at a time. They describe the piece as вЂњan act
of playвЂќ - a way of thinking
with the hands. KHN is

FINANCIAL PEACE
Should we rehab home to sell it?
Dear Dave,
My husband and I recently inherited my parentsвЂ™ home. ItвЂ™s in a small,
rural town with little industry, and weвЂ™ve been told
that the place would be
worth $85,000 if itвЂ™s
cleaned up, compared to
$75,000 as is. Should we
spend about $10,000 to
really clean it up, replace a
few things and make it presentable to sell it faster?
вЂ“ Terri
Dear Terri,
ItвЂ™s really up to you guys,
because both options вЂ”
whether youвЂ™re sitting on
the house or rehabbing it вЂ”
are going to take time and
emotional energy. From a
real estate personвЂ™s perspective, houses always sell
better when theyвЂ™re shined
up and looking nice. When
a prospective buyer walks in
and sees and smells new
carpet and fresh paint, they
donвЂ™t have strain their
imaginations looking past
everything. When you force
Honestly, youвЂ™re not doing a
bad thing by putting it into
retirement either. But you
donвЂ™t know exactly what will
happen over the next several
years of your life or the life of
your investments.
DAVE RAMSEY
potential buyers to look
past things, it usually ends
up costing you money.
In most cases, if you
spend $10,000 you gain
more than what you put
into the house.
Honestly, I think one of
the numbers youвЂ™ve given
me is wrong вЂ” either the
$85,000, the $75,000 or
the $10,000 you think it
will take to fix up the place.
In other words, if you spend
$10,000 on a project like
this, youвЂ™ll usually gain
$20,000 when youвЂ™re talking about stuff like a thorough cleaning, new carpet
and flooring, fresh paint
and basics like that. My
guess is if the place is worth
$85,000 fixed up, itвЂ™ll probably bring about $65,000
as is.
If itвЂ™s me, IвЂ™m going to
clean the place and fix it up.
IвЂ™ve done hundreds, if not
thousands, of these kinds of
deals, and I canвЂ™t stand to
try and sell something thatвЂ™s
dumpy, grungy and out of
shape.

id you ever notice
that nothing important ever
seems to happen on a
Wednesday?
LetвЂ™s review:
The work week begins
on a Monday, which we all
hate but it gives the day a
certain status.
Tuesdays are Election
Days, which makes Tuesday a vital cog in our
Democratic machinery.
Thursdays are time
sheet days, which is of
immense importance to
those among us who enjoy getting paid.
Fridays are the actual
paydays вЂ“ and they also
have a restaurant named
after them.
Saturdays are typically
filled with fun and frolic.
Sundays are restful and
given to spiritual contemplation.
But Wednesdays are the
weekвЂ™s weak link. Its only
claim to acknowledgement is that itвЂ™s a day we
get over the "hump."
ThatвЂ™s all it has to beat its
chest about вЂ“ that itвЂ™s a
day to relish because itвЂ™s
leading to other, better
days.
Did you ever wonder
why Wednesdays lack cachet?
Well, hereвЂ™s the answer:
ItвЂ™s because Wednesdays are sneaky.
What other day of the
week tries to sneak a
silent letter by an unsuspecting public?
For instance, whenвЂ™s the
last time you had an important appointment on a
Thurdsday?
Never, thatвЂ™s when.
No, the other days of
the week are spelled and

Dear Dave,
If you have a mortgage
that will be paid off in the
next two or three years,
should you pay extra toward the house or invest
that money over and above
the 15 percent you recommend putting toward retirement?
вЂ“ Walt
pay down a house and sell
it somewhere down the
road. The money comes
back. You didnвЂ™t lose it.
Honestly, youвЂ™re not doing a bad thing by putting
it into retirement either.
But you donвЂ™t know exactly what will happen over the
next several years of your
life or the life of your investments. You might think
you know. You might even
have a plan. But the truth is
even the best plans donвЂ™t always work out the way we
want.
And if that happens, it
sure would be neat to own
your home outright!
вЂ” Dave
trust and feelings of
warmth and respect.
So whatвЂ™s up with
Wednesday and that wily
"d?"
Clearly, its presence is
an indictment of the
whole "silent letter" phenomenon.
Why are these letters
silent?
What are they trying
to hide?
A persuasive argument
could be ventured that
silent letters are a threat
to our way of life.
All right, maybe not a
persuasive argument вЂ“
but an argument, certainly.
WhatвЂ™s the point of a
silent letter?
Their entire message
seems to be, "Hey, look at
me. IвЂ™m not here." Disillusionment inevitably accompanies a childвЂ™s first
introduction to the silent
letter.
The child, quite correctly, wants to know why
the silent letter exists. Is it
there just to make words
more difficult to spell?
They seek an explanation,
a confirmation that the
world indeed makes
sense.
But what are they told?
Hush up, little Johnny
or Susie (or whatever
their name is).
YouвЂ™re not allowed to
question the silent letter.
You must simply accept
it.
Is it any wonder that
standardized test scores
are down?
I think not.
ItвЂ™s time we end the duplicitous sway of the silent
letter.
Knowledge is way too
important.

PLAN
Continued from Page 1
sure you are on course.вЂќ
Nebraska City Administrator Joe Johnson said
a comprehensive plan is a
document that guides the
future development of a
community. He said the
information that was
gathered and then presented to the public gives
Nebraska City residents a
clear idea of what Nebraska City looks like
right now.
вЂњThis is a canvas; we
are painting the picture of
Nebraska City,вЂќ Johnson
said.
Knopick said the next
step in developing a comprehensive plan is to figure out where Nebraska
City wants to go in the future.
вЂњItвЂ™s like asking what
you want to be when you
grow up,вЂќ he said. вЂњThere
is factual data about a
town that comes from the
census and economic information, and then there
is the perception of a
town вЂ“ the public opinion. We canвЂ™t always get
that last part from data,
so thatвЂ™s why we are asking individual citizens
what they think is important. Then we can
merge those.вЂќ
Those who attended the
open house on October 8
were asked to fill out a
Local citizens attended an open house on Wednesday, October 8, to learn about
Nebraska CityвЂ™s comprehensive plan. Those unable to attend are invited to
voice their opinions on the communityвЂ™s future online at nebraskacityplan.mindmixer.com.

comment sheet about Nebraska City. Questions
included: Why do you
choose to live here/do
business here; What are
the
communityвЂ™s
strengths and weaknesses; What do you want to
see improve or change;
What are the most important items or challenges facing Nebraska
City; and When you think
about Nebraska City in
the future, what does it
look like?
Those questions are
also currently available
online at nebraskacityp l a n . m i n d m i x e r. c o m .
Knopick is hoping residents will take time in
the next few weeks to go
online and answer the
survey questions.
вЂњWe want to create a
conversation about Nebraska City,вЂќ Knopick
said. вЂњIf you go online,
you will be asked to reg-
ister your name and email
address so we can keep
you informed of new
meetings and opportunities to voice opinions. We
want to visit with residents and ask what they
want to see in Nebraska
City.вЂќ
Knopick said the online comment site will be
operational for a few
more weeks.
вЂњOnce we know the vision the public wants, we
can put together a strategy on how to get there,вЂќ he
said. вЂњThis is not just for
the cityвЂ™s use, either. Other groups and businesses
can utilize the plan as
well.вЂќ
The data presented at
the open house on October 8 was gathered and
organized by students at
the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. They focused
on four themes: culture,
ecology, land use, and
mobility.
Kim Wilson, the Dean
of the College of Architecture at UNL, said the
students involved are undergraduate and graduate
students in Architecture
and Landscape Architecture. The studio class,
called Community Planning and Design, has 12
students enrolled this fall.
вЂњWe have done this
process for several other
Nebraska communities,
including Crete, Broken
Bow, Ord, and Chadron,вЂќ
Wilson said. вЂњThe students learn what city
planning is all about.вЂќ
One aspect of the project was a walkability
study. The students traversed nearly every street
in Nebraska City and
ranked them based on
the availability of sidewalks, quality of pavement, ease of street crossing, and even took into
account the aesthetics of
a tree canopy. Their findings showed that Nebras-
ka City has 65 miles of
road, with each mile having the capacity for two
corresponding miles of
sidewalks. Of the potential 130 miles of sidewalk
in Nebraska City, there
are only 41 actual miles of
sidewalk, which is 31%.
The planners may incorporate the addition of
sidewalks into the comprehensive plan if the
public opinion survey
supports it as well.
Fourth-year Landscape
Architect student Nanette
Heimes of Hartington,
Nebraska, said she was
impressed with Nebraska
City and hopes to someday do for her hometown
what she did for Nebraska City.
вЂњNebraska City has lots
of great spaces, lots of
green spaces,вЂќ she said.
вЂњThere are so many trees
and culture and history
here вЂ“ we want to bring
all that to downtown and
make it vibrant.вЂќ
After the public input
site is closed, the students
and professional planners
will work together on a
public meeting tentative
scheduled for December
16. That meeting will unveil detailed site and
building designs based
on the feedback received
now.
The actual plan will be
developed in early 2015;
the city could adopt the
new comprehensive plan
in May of 2015.

A four-yard scoring
run had the Lourdes
football team ahead by
eight points after the
first quarter of play at
home against Mead on
Friday.
Lourdes would lead
by a lot more than that
by halftime on the way
to a 58-34 win.
Tylor Sturm had a
34-yard first quarter
run to put the Knights
on the scoreboard. He
also had a two-point
run after that touchdown.
And Tom Gress
rushed in from fouryards out to answer a
long scoring pass by
Mead and put the
Knights up 14-6 going
to the second quarter.
Four touchdowns
and two-point conversions in the second
quarter put the Knight
lead at 46-14 at half.
Gress connected with
Noah Vasa on a 45yard pass to start the
second quarter scoring
for Lourdes. Sturm
rushed in from nine
yards out.
Gress had a one-yard
run and connected on
a 19-yard scoring pass
to Kyle Francois.
Two-point plays were
by Sturm on three runs
and Ethan Martinosky

also on a run play.
Lourdes added to its
lead after half as Martinosky rushed into the
end zone from four
yards out and Francois
covered a blocked
Mead punt in the end
zone for a touchdown.
Down 44 points entering the fourth quarter, Mead posted three
touchdowns before
time ran out.
Turning to the game
stats, Lourdes rushed
for 235 and passed for
114 on four completions.
Mead had 94 yards
rushing on 23 attempts
and was 11-of-23 passing for 150 yards.
Individual leaders for

A blocked field goal turned out
to be a key play for the Waverly
football team in its 38-13 homecoming victory over Nebraska City
on Friday night.
Waverly got on the scoreboard
early thanks to a four-play and 60yard drive capped by a 20-yard Jon
Murray run.
Nebraska City was forced to punt
on its first possession, but did get a
drive going on its second possession.
A key play was Noah KasbohmвЂ™s
rush for a first down on a fourth
down call. He also connected with
Stephen Conner on a 12-yard pass,
but the drive stalled at the Waverly
30-yard line and the Pioneers were
forced to give up possession on
downs.
Some missed tackles gave Murray
the space he needed to race 37 yards
for the VikesвЂ™ second touchdown of
the game as Waverly took a 14-0
lead.
A strange penalty call stopped
the PioneersвЂ™ next drive as Nebraska
City was flagged for an illegal forward hand off. The ball was marched
back 15 yards on the infraction and
the Pioneers were forced to punt.
ThatвЂ™s when the Waverly special
teams came up big as the home
team blocked the Pioneer punt and
covered it in the end zone to take a
21-0 lead.
Kasbohm found Jose Garcia on
a 19-yard pass and Joe Seyler on a
first-down toss, but eventually faced
a 3rd-and-long, and punted.
A sack by the defensive combination of Chris Monaghan and Logan Riege forced Waverly to punt
on its next possession.
Kasbohm passed to Seyler for a
first down, but Nebraska City stalled
and punted, thus setting up Waverly
for its fourth score of the game.
The Vikes drove 75 yards and
Murray scored his third touchdown
on an 11-yard run.

Knight VB rally falls short

The Lourdes volleyball
team looked to be in position to add to its comeback legacy on Thursday,
but Johnson-Brock ended
up shutting the door to
that victory with a fourset win by scores of 2519, 25-19, 24-26, and 2519.
After seeming to be a
bit off of its game in the
first and second sets, the
Knight team rallied from
an 8-3 deficit early in the
third set, then withstood
some adversity to close
out the set and keep hopes
alive.
Lourdes appeared to
have won the set 25-23,
but the ruling of a Knight
point was over turned and
a replay order was issued.
Johnson-Brock tied the
set at 24-24, but Lourdes
got the points it needed
to win.
Coach Michelle Kreifels
said she always talks to
her team about enduring
such adversity.
вЂњWe always preach that
you canвЂ™t let the officials
affect the game,вЂќ said
Coach Kreifels. вЂњThey did
a good job of staying committed to our game plan.вЂќ
The fourth set saw Lourdes own the early momentum with a 7-3 lead.
The score stood tied at
16-16 before JohnsonBrock forged a 23-18 lead
on the way to a 25-19 final.
In looking back at the
entire match, Coach
Kreifels said most of the
Knight difficulties came
down to struggles with
serve receive.
вЂњWe tried to make some
adjustments. We talked
about the basics,вЂќ said
Coach Kreifels. вЂњIt just
wasnвЂ™t working well for
us.
вЂњWe just couldnвЂ™t get in
system enough to use all
of our three hitters.вЂќ
Stat leaders for Lourdes
were Karley Kreifels, 12
kills, 12 set assists and

From Page B1
A Conner kick return put Nebraska City in position for its first
scoring march. Kasbohm converted
a 2nd-and-3 with a 12-yard run,
the PioneersвЂ™ benefited from a
roughing the passer penalty, and
Riege rushed the ball to the Vike
one-yard line with an 18-yard run.
Kasbohm capped the scoring drive
with a short run and Clayton Patton
added the kick.
The score stood at 28-7 with 1:59
to go until half.
Nebraska CityвЂ™s defense stood tall
on the final possession of the first
half as Waverly ran out of time and
was unable to add to its lead. Rique
Aldana nearly had an interception
on that late Waverly march, but his
catch was wiped out on a defensive
penalty.
After forcing Waverly to punt on
its first possession of the second
half, Nebraska City got a pair of
pass connections from Kasbohm to
Garcia for a total of 33 yards. In
spite of those throws, the team was
forced to punt.
And Waverly launched a scoring
drive covering 75 yards. Ben Warner
had the final play of the march, a
24-yard pass reception.
Nebraska City got another good
return from Conner and Kasbohm
passed for 31 yards to Austin Betts
to put the Pioneers in position to
answer, but Nebraska City was
forced to turn it over on downs.
The score stood at 35-7 at the

end of three quarters.
Waverly had a 28-yard field goal
and Nebraska City scored on a late
drive to cap the scoring.
Riege had the scoring play for
the Pioneers on a five-yard run that
made the score 38-13 with 2:26 to
go in the game.
Waverly would then run out the
fourth quarter clock.
With the loss, Nebraska CityвЂ™s
record now stands at 1-6 with two
games to play. Nebraska City will
host games on Oct. 17 and Oct. 24
against Plattsmouth and Platteview.
The Plattsmouth game is also Nebraska CityвЂ™s homecoming contest.
Looking back at the Waverly contest, Coach B.T. Kracl said his team
faced some adversity in adjusting
to some unexpected looks from the
Vike defense.
вЂњOur kids were confused and it
caused us way to many problems,вЂќ
said Kracl. вЂњI told the kids here at
the end, it doesnвЂ™t matter what they
run, the play is the same.вЂќ
Defensively, Coach Kracl said his
team didnвЂ™t come out as sharp as
they needed to be, thus leading to
some success for the Vikes.
Credit to Waverly for making the
plays, but Coach Kracl said his
teamвЂ™s work in practice has indicated
that they are capable of better than
what the final results might have
shown.
вЂњThese are discipline and execution issues that we work on and
work on and its seems that we can
do right in practice, but then we
show up and we donвЂ™t do them
right, so itвЂ™s a little frustrating,вЂќ said
Kracl.
Despite those frustrations, Coach
Kracl said his team should be ready
to take advantage of their opportunities in the final two games of the
schedule. вЂњWeвЂ™ve still got two games
to play,вЂќ said Kracl. вЂњWe are going
to show up. I am going to show up
and I am going to compete. And I
will expect they will do the same.вЂќ
Getting better requires more from
both player and coach. Kracl said
the coaches need to continue to
work in practice to correct errors
and that the players must self critique to find their areas where improvement is needed.
If motivation is needed for that
process, the Pioneers wonвЂ™t lack for
it as the team has the opportunity
to win out at home and celebrate
homecoming with a victory.
вЂњHomecoming is no fun if you
donвЂ™t get a win on the football fieldвЂ”
plus itвЂ™s Plattsmouth,вЂќ Kracl said
of next weekвЂ™s game. вЂњI am looking
forward to that challenge and I
hope the kids are too.
вЂњI really think our kids will respond and come out and play hard.
That is one thing our kids did
tonight is they kept working.вЂќ
The highlight of that hard work
looked to be the PioneersвЂ™ return
game as Garcia and Conner both
had good returns.
вЂњWeвЂ™ve got some dynamic kids
back there returning the ball and
our guys up front gave them a few
blocks. We were one or two blocks
away from springing a couple of
them.вЂќ
Hamburg, Farragut facility reports wonвЂ™t arrive before deadline
Sandy Parmenter
www.ncnewspress.com
Hamburg and Farragut
School District Advisory
Committees received news
that the facility reports from
the architectural team
would not arrive prior to
their deadline to prepare
plans.
With the main focus of
the committees being to
choose which buildings
should be open, closed, or
modified for both districts,
and in case of a reorganization, the groups had hoped
to lean heavily on reports to
be received from Facilities
Cost Management, which
were to include advice of
best buildings to use, close,
repair, and estimated costs
of those actions, including
suggestions for financing
and effects on the districts.
Instead of reviewing those
reports, Superintendents
Terry Kenealy and Tom
Hinrichs went through a
list of about 30 questions
sent to them by members of
the advisory committees,
answering what they could.
They reiterated that the
Department of Education
and SBRC were expecting
major changes, not just a
tightening of belts.
In response to numerous
"what if" questions, the best
they could usually say was "it
depends"вЂ¦on whether consolidation happens, on what
district you get put in if the
districts are dissolved, on
which buildings are kept
open, on what the SBRC
does, etc.
Kenealy and Hinrichs told
the group that they had met
with other Fremont County Superintendents and even
the Shenandoah Superintendent in the last week to
look into further sharing or
28E agreement options, as
well as thoughts about the
future.
Both men said that the
other districts were interested in keeping lines of
communication open, but
none of the districts were
ready to jump into any kind
of action or new configuration immediately.
Conversation turned to
whether a consolidation was
the best thing for the two
districts, with proponents
for and against arguing their
cases. Those against still argued that Hamburg's budget issues were so small compared to Farragut's that they
would be foolish to take on
A child on a bus
t was pouring rain as
the 8-year-old moved
uncertainly toward the
back of the bus. He and
his mom had boarded
partway into this hourlong trip, and there
werenвЂ™t many seats left.
вЂњGrab that one!вЂќ she said,
pointing to the seat next to
me near the back of the
bus.
He hesitated.
вЂњJust sit! You sit there
and IвЂ™ll sit here!вЂќ she said
and settled into the seat
across the aisle.
She seemed slightly annoyed with him and I could
tell he didnвЂ™t want to annoy
her more.
In the seat beside me, he
shrugged his way out of his
backpack, which seemed
much too large for his narrow shoulders. Then he
looked quickly over at me
and away again.
вЂњHi!вЂќ I whispered, inclining my head slightly toward
him.
вЂњHi,вЂќ he whispered back.
Then I turned back to
what I had been doing before the pair boarded, namely toting up a column of
figures to see if I could afford
new letterhead.
вЂњAre you a Math teacher?вЂќ
he asked, studying my paper.
вЂњNo, no,вЂќ I smiled. вЂњIвЂ™m
just somebody trying to remember where the decimal
point goes!вЂќ
вЂњI think it goes rightвЂ¦.
THERE,вЂќ he said, pointing
to my bottom line.
I didnвЂ™t want him to feel
he had to make small talk, so
once I got done with my calculations; I tucked the paper
into my own backpack and

Farragut's debt, and should
look elsewhere for a partner.
Those for the consolidation
still argued that the only
way anybody else would
take on either school was
upon dissolution, when
debt, building, and staff issues would no longer be an
issue, and that their best
hope was to combine to
have more to offer in negotiations with further future
partners.
Kenealy and Hinrichs
pointed out that the committees couldn't predict the
future and needed to come
up with plans that most of
them could buy into, and
that included looking at all
options.
Open enrollments out
came up frequently as an
ongoing worry, and as a reason both for and against
consolidation, but Kenealy
told the committees that no
matter what the choice, they
would most likely continue
to be an issue. "Open enrollment was created to help
foster competition between
schools," said Kenealy, "but
90 percent of applications to
open enroll out are about
the convenience of the family.

ASK AMY
Can you ask for leftovers?
DEAR AMY: Recently I hosted a
holiday dinner for 12 people.
After all the leftovers were
wrapped and put away, one of the
guests approached me and asked
if she could have some of the leftovers for her dog. I was mortified,
and the only response I was able
to utter was, вЂњSure.вЂќ
I was taught that you never ask
for leftovers unless the host offers
them. I am mad at myself for not
saying anything, but what could I
have said?
With more holidays coming
up, IвЂ™m sure people would like to
know how to handle this sort of
thing. вЂ” Tongue-Tied Hostess
DEAR HOSTESS: HowвЂ™s this for
an answer: вЂњCan you take our holiday leftovers home for your dog?
Um, no.вЂќ
Being a gracious hostess does
not mean that you are required to
provide leftovers for your guests to
take home for their own consumption вЂ” or their petsвЂ™. Anyone can
ask for anything from you, but a
request doesnвЂ™t compel you to
comply.

DEAR AMY: For once, I totally
disagree with your advice. Your
answer to the grandmother signing her letter вЂњVery DisappointedвЂќ
was way off base. To me, a teenager who has a tantrum is crying
out for help. This girl has lived
her whole life with aloof (вЂњit is
what it isвЂќ) parents who donвЂ™t get
along (the grandmother referred
to вЂњconflictsвЂќ). With her grandmother (and you) responding to
her behavior as вЂњunacceptableвЂќ
and вЂњinappropriate,вЂќ itвЂ™s no wonder
she has tantrums. вЂ” Reader
DEAR READER: Flipping out in
a hospital room at your elderly
grandfatherвЂ™s bedside is вЂњunacceptableвЂќ and вЂњinappropriate,вЂќ
though I completely agree that
all of the adults should look for
reasons behind the behavior and
do everything possible to help.

GHNS #2008
TodayвЂ™s Birthday (10/14/14).
Work with your community for
greatest satisfaction this year.
Shifts in collaborations and
partnerships lead to new moneymaking opportunities. Focus on
raking in bucks through Dec. 23,
and then get into a research and
writing project.
Aries (March 21-April 19) вЂ” You
can get too much of a good thing.
Minimize risks. Make this your
last bet of the game. Friends help
you advance. Travel plans could
change.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) вЂ”
Romantic moments sizzle. Get
a special treat for yourself and a
loved one. Make the right connection. It pays to advertise. Work the
room. Save the best for last.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) вЂ” Do
the homework for the results you
want. Ask for more than you think
youвЂ™ll get. Dress for the occasion. A
partnership formed now is beneficial. Use the good stuff.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) вЂ” Extra
attention goes a long way. Put
in a little and get a lot. You donвЂ™t
want to have to redo it later. Exert
your willpower. What result do you
want? A lucky break is possible.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) вЂ” YouвЂ™re
extra persuasive now. Keep your
objective in mind. You could end
up with too much. Co-workers
apply pressure. Keep it respectful if
controversy arises.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) вЂ” Talk
it over. More is good. Creative
requests get a positive reaction.
Travel and communications both
seem scrambled.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) вЂ” Play
the ace youвЂ™ve been holding. Use
what you have learned. Leave
something unimportant behind.
You can replace it.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) вЂ” You
can have a lovely adventure without going far. Explore new flavors,
colors and sounds in your own
backyard. Rely on others to help.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.
21) вЂ” Use hidden resources. An
unexpected reaction surprises you.
No gossip. Reroute complaints to
someone who can do something
about it.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) вЂ”
Travel looks good. First, determine
whatвЂ™s required. Another person
helps you advance. Your good
deeds speak well for you. Feminine
leadership shines.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) вЂ”
Provide great service as a default
today. Sidestep someone elseвЂ™s
argument. Make social plans for
later. Finish your homework first.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) вЂ”
Word of your latest exploits travels
far and wide. Listen to feedback
and considerations. Accept whateverвЂ™s available and take notes for
follow up. Ignore someone who
says it canвЂ™t be done.
