Thanksgiving Day and the Christmas holiday will soon be upon us and one needs to remember those who are not as fortunate as you might be.

When we went to the Ainsworth Food Pantry on Wednesday, November 13th, we found that some of the shelves were bare and a need for non-perishable items is necessary to help those in need.

According to Pastor Eldon Davis, President of the Ministerial Association and Pastor Georg Williams, keeper of the Food Pantry keys, when individuals and/or families come to the food pantry in Ainsworth, they receive 7 cans of fruit, 7 items with protein, 7 cans of soup, 1 jar of jelly, 2 rolls of toilet paper, juice, soap, 1 box of cereal and macaroni. Each recipient is given a voucher that they can take to the three grocery stores in Brown County and one in Keya Paha County to pick up perishable items such as milk, eggs, hamburger, apples or bananas, russet potatoes, bread and margarine. Each recipient can receive items once every 6 weeks. The Ainsworth Food Pantry serves residents of Brown and Keya Paha Counties.

Other items collected at the Ainsworth Food Pantry include toothbrushes, toothpaste, diapers, soap, shampoo,detergent and toilet paper to mention a few.

Pastor Williams stated they are always short of canned fruit.

All items are appreciated and everything is used that is donated. Monetary gifts allow the Pantry volunteers to purchase items they are short of.

Pastor Williams commented, “We live in a very caring community. The residents of this area have big hearts when it comes to helping those in need. Last year alone, 1/3 of the Brown County families were helped in some way or another with items from the food pantry. When the primary care giver is laid up or loses their job, the food pantry is a way for them

to help feed their family. One must keep in mind that all these donations are from individuals, businesses or organizations and there is no government money or involvement.”

The Ainsworth Food Pantry is located at Ainsworth’s Zion Lutheran Church, but all churches collect items for the pantry.

If you have items for the pantry, you can leave them inside the glass door entry way on the north side at the Lutheran Church.

Help others enjoy the holidays that are fast approaching.

Ainsworth Food Pantry Has Some Bare Shelves

Pastors Eldon Davis and Georg Williams stand in the Ainsworth Food Pantry at Zion Lutheran Church. Many nonperishable items as well, are needed to help those who are not as fortunate as others. This holiday season, remember those who need assistance.

Ainsworth City Council Accepts Bids for Restroom Renovation and Tractor

The City of Long Pine was unfor-tunate enough to have not one but two house fires this past week.

The first, occurring on Tuesday, November 12th, was in the home of the James Allen family, owned by Virginia Lewis. The family, recent transplants to the area with their four children, was not at home when a faulty electric cord started the blaze that destroyed the home and all of its contents. The family dog was not found after the blaze.

The Long Pine, Ainsworth and Bassett Fire Departments were called out on Thursday, November 14th, to battle an evening fire at the home of Don and Fadonna Good-night. Mrs. Goodnight was first alerted to the fire by a noise in the garage. It was later determined that the fire was started by a wire short in an ATV parked in the garage.

Both Goodnights escaped with no injuries before the fire spread throughout the home via the raf-ters. After a valiant effort, the firefighters were able to salvage the home, although extensive cleaning will be necessary because of smoke and heat damage. The contents of the garage were considered a total loss.

Firemen Battle Two Separate House Fires at Long Pine

Long Pine and Ainsworth firemen battled a house fire on Tuesday afternoon, November 12th in Long Pine. A faulty electrical cord started the house fire that destroyed the home occupied by the James Allen family.

The fire got into the attic area and firemen had to cut a hole in the roof to extinguish the fire.

Late Thursday night, November 14th, firemen from Ainsworth, Bassett and Long Pine were called to a house fire at the Don Goodnight residence southwest of Long Pine. The fire started in the garage and moved into the house through the attic area.

Angela Campbell, a 1995 graduate of Ainsworth Community Schools, recently had the high honor of arguing a case before the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. The Court receives approximately 10,000 petitions for appeal each year but grants and hears oral argument in only about 75-80 of those cases.

Campbell, the daughter of Dr. Mel and Sherry Campbell, began her journey to Washington D.C. many years ago as a Mock Trial participant in Ainsworth from 1992-1994. Under direction of team sponsor Mary Rau, Campbell’s team advanced to the State Cham-pionships her senior year. The team finished in 7th place that year, despite Campbell’s ankle injury and crutches during her closing

argument. According to Coach Mary Rau, Angela fell and sprained her ankle in a basketball game the night before their first trial at the State Mock Trial competition. This was the first team from Ainsworth to ever qualify for State Mock Trial competition.

Rau indicated that Angela was in Speech grades 10th, 11th and 12th and part of the Mock Trial Teams in her junior and senior year.

After graduation from AHS, Campbell attended Yale and gradu-ated in 1999. She then attended Boston College of Law, graduating magna cum laude in 2002. Upon graduation, she served as law clerk to Honorable C. Arlen Beam in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in Lincoln from 2002-2003. For the

next four years, she served in the Federal Public Defender’s office in Des Moines, Iowa, representing defendants charged with federal crimes through both the trial and appellate stages of their cases.

In 2007, she opened the Dickey and Campbell Law Firm in Des Moines with a partner. The firm has since grown and now employs four partners who argue a wide variety of cases for their defendants in criminal courts.

Campbell argued her case on Tuesday, November 12th, before the highest Court of the Nation. She was appealing the decision of a lower court that found Marcus

Note From WashingtonBy Senator Deb Fischer

Capitol NewsBy J.L. Schmidt, Statehouse Correspondent, Nebraska Press Association

Lessons from HistoryRecently, United States Secretary of State, John Kerry, joined other

foreign leaders in Geneva to participate in negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program, a source of great concern to our nation and many of our allies. Negotiators returned home without reaching an agreement. 

At this point, most members of Congress haven’t been briefed on the terms of the deal offered by Secretary Kerry. However, the Secretary did update members of the Senate Banking Committee and Senate Democratic leadership this week behind closed doors. Despite this lack of information, what is perfectly clear is that the proposal created great unease among our allies.

The French Foreign Minister described the deal as a “fool’s deal” and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that, “the deal that is being discussed in Geneva right now is a bad deal, it’s a very bad deal.”

Press reports indicate their concerns are well founded.According to these media reports, the administration was prepared

to “unfreeze” billions of dollars in Iranian assets by Executive Order – meaning without Congressional approval – in exchange for an agree-ment by Iran only to “slow” its nuclear program.

 Many in Congress share our allies’ concern with this basic equation and believe that U.S. sanctions should only be reduced if Iran clearly demonstrates its commitment to a peaceful nuclear program. This would require that the Iranians take tangible steps to comply with U.N. Security Council Resolutions and its treaty obligations.

 Suspending the enrichment processes, which the Security Council has demanded Iran do since 2006, would help rebuild the international trust and credibility that Iran has destroyed over the past decade.

  Instead, Iran is apparently demanding we concede that it has a “right” to enrich nuclear fuel. Despite the Iranians’ claim, there is no “right” to enrich uranium recognized in international law.

It’s important that we also remain mindful of Iran’s history. Tehran has repeatedly violated their treaty obligations, thwarted interna-

tional weapons inspectors from doing their jobs, and successfully used negotiations with the West to buy time for their nuclear program to progress.

 North Korea used a similar strategy in the 1990s, when it agreed to forego nuclear weapons, only to continue its weapons program in secret. The similarities between recent negotiations with Iran and past negotiations with North Korea do not end there, either. In fact, some of the same negotiators continue to represent U.S. interests. The world knows how that story played out.

 Winston Churchill famously stated, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” I believe it is critical – both to our national security and to stability in the Middle East – that the same mistakes of the past not be repeated again. 

 The United States and our allies must require Iran to take verifi-able steps to comply with its international obligations. The Senate Banking Committee is expected to consider additional sanctions on Iran. Though Secretary Kerry is urging lawmakers to stand down, it is exactly this financial pressure that has brought the Iranians to the negotiating table in the first place.

 The administration insists that passing additional sanctions could undercut negotiators.  However, I believe that increasing pressure would demonstrate resolve and make clear to the Iranians that the United States will not weaken its position until Iran dismantles its illegal nuclear program.

 The Senate may also consider this issue during its upcoming debate on the defense authorization bill. Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ), has indicated he intends to offer an amendment on this issue. I look forward to reviewing proposals put forth and working with my colleagues to move forward towards an effective solution.

 I continue to believe our best foreign policy – and our best nego-tiating position – is one of “peace through strength.” I will push for policies that strengthen, not weaken our hand at the negotiating table.

Retention of the Best and Brightest Deserves ConsiderationA few weeks ago, I shared some ideas from the former director of

one of the state’s most philanthropic private foundations who urged Nebraska lawmakers to dip into the state’s $679 million cash reserve fund to invest in community development to make the state even more attractive to outsiders.

Lyn Wallin Ziegenbein, longtime executive director of the Peter Kiewit Foundation, told members of the Legislature’s long-range planning committee to use some of the money as a catalyst for com-munities to build: libraries and parks; public art and plantings; health facilities; large recreation areas; and supported law enforcement to bring them up to par as part of the “Good Life.”

I received some pushback on the topic. Good ideas and laudable goals, I was told, but the stuff of fluff. “Putting lipstick on a pig,” one person said. I spent enough time doing community development and historic preservation work in a previous life to know that physical improvements on a building mean nothing if the structure isn’t sound and occupied with a viable business. Neither is the quality of life any better with nice infrastructure and available amenities if the work-force isn’t educated and innovative.

It was suggested that the better way to attract those sought after “outside parties” to want to invest in and become a part of Nebraska is to focus on a better educated workforce in areas of technology, sci-ence, and math along with a change in attitude toward strengthening what is already there. There needs to be creative thinking by better educated students and teachers to go along with the money infusion that was suggested to the legislative committee.

The “woe are we” mentality of small towns has to be broken. There needs to be an understanding of why the best and the brightest often leave these places never to come back. Often they have left to go someplace where they can be the best and brightest surrounded by other best and brightest. Big cities are full of people who once lived in smaller places and would love to return to a simpler lifestyle some day, but only if they could take their challenging careers and best and

brightest colleagues with them. The number of people who can work remotely at these tech type jobs grows exponentially, almost daily.

So why can’t they go back home? My previous life experience revealed several factors that need to be addressed. One is housing. I look at communities like Sidney or Chadron that have a lot going for them – Sidney with a worldwide headquarters for popular retailer Ca-bela’s and Chadron with a four-year college. But there are not enough entrepreneurial or skilled builders who realize the opportunity sit-ting in front of them to build or remodel housing for the expanded workforce. The builders and remodelers who are that smart are too busy already. I heard from a Cabela’s employee in Lincoln who was offered a better job at the same company in Sidney, but turned them down because there’s no place to live.

We don’t need more public art, but we need better-planned and implemented festival type activities (music, food, art) in smaller communities that attract the type of people that towns really need to be attracting. For the “best and brightest” that communities want to attract, such activity is as appealing an amenity as parks and li-braries. Look at the awesome festivals in rural states like Colorado, Washington and New Mexico that draw huge crowds, often from out of state. It’s got to be more than just the (insert town name here) festival. AND, that takes money and talent to pull off.

 We don’t need brand new and shiny, but we need to rehab our exist-ing deteriorating libraries and bring the facilities and their systems into the 21st Century. The last thing we need are more parks, but we need to put money into taking care of the parks we have.

Everyone wants shiny and new but that’s not going to fix the prob-lem and it will only create new problems. Preservation saves money and pays dividends.

Let’s hope that the Legislature is paying attention as it looks at long-range solutions and visits with the hands-on community devel-opers and preservationists who have the experience to know what is really needed.

“Veterans Day Program!”I’d like to start out this column by congratulating everyone

involved in the Veterans Day Program held at Ainsworth Commu-nity Schools. To the students who continue the Adopted Veterans Program - good job. I feel it is important for our youth to realize what it is like for these Veterans to leave home - away from their families for months at a time and to be away from them on holidays, birthdays, birth of children, etc. They sacrifice more than one real-izes. The music from K-12th grades was outstanding and we must not forget the youngest ones from Little Paws Preschool - I think you stole the show!

I have attended many of these programs over the years and I believe that this one was by far the best one -- again good job to everyone involved in the process of making it happen.

Some of the pictures from the program are included in this week’s paper.

Delbert Leslie Christensen, 99Delbert Leslie Christensen, son of Mads

and Minnie (Warp) Christensen passed away Sunday morning November 10, 2013, in Tucson, AZ. Born on December 18, 1913 at Minden, NE on the Kristensen homestead, he spent his early childhood in Minden be-fore the family moved to a ranch in Bassett, NE in 1923.

Delbert graduated from Rock County High school in 1931 and immediately started teaching in the local rural grade school. He spent 2 years at Kearney State College before enrolling at University of Nebraska, receiving his bachelors degree in 1939 and a Masters degree in Math in 1941. Summers were spent hauling ice by day and doing accounting work at night for the Warp family businesses in Minden. Shortly after joining the faculty of the math department of Kearney State, WWII erupted.

In December of 1941, Delbert accepted an appointment to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and moved to Philadelphia. He spent the WWII years investigating federal crimes and espionage in the Eastern United States.

Delbert married Ruth Louise Koch on June 10, 1944 and they had four children, Ruth Ingrid, Connie Jo, Mark and David. Following the war Delbert and Ruth moved to Chicago where he joined Flex-O-Glass, INC., an early plastics manufacturer launched by the Warp Brothers. Innova-tion and loyalty were cornerstones at Flex-O-Glass where Del worked for 49 years, serving as president for 15 of those years. In addition, he was a section director of the Society of Plastics Engineers from 1968 - 1970. Del also served on the Board of Directors for Warps Pioneer Village for many years.

Delbert and Ruth raised their family in Elmhurst, Illinois, from 1950 to 1985 and were active enthusiastic members of their community.  His children fondly remember many trips to Nebraska with visits to the Pioneer Village and relatives farms and ranches.

Ruth attended a writer’s workshop in 1970 at the American Baptist As-sembly in Green Lake, WI and soon became smitten with the atmosphere of the ABA grounds and surrounding area, convincing Del to retire there in the early 1980’s. Ruth and Del’s farm became a welcome haven for all, including family from out west, Chicago friends, and local kids feeding apples to the sheep. Age was never an issue as many of their closest friends were half their age. Winters were spent in Tucson where they enjoyed Ingrid’s growing family and the warm weather.

Delbert, a lifelong rock hound, was soon a fixture at the ABA lapidary shop where he continued to volunteer on a daily basis until he quit driv-ing at the age of 97. A grove of 100 year old American chestnut trees near the golf course captured his attention, and soon Del had another hobby: gathering nuts and raising chestnut seedlings in his greenhouse to re-establish the majestic tree nearly wiped out by blight in the 1800s. Del was featured in numerous newspaper stories and became a ready resource for local programs. His trees can be found all over Green Lake County.

Summer at the farm meant a steady stream of kids, grandkids, and friends, which after Ruth’s death in 2001 provided companionship and physical assistance that allowed Del to live at home until he was 99. Delbert was a thoughtful man of impeccable honor and a quiet energy that earned respect. He and Ruth were a great team that touched and brightened many lives.

Survivors include children, Ruth Ingrid Christensen Laurie of Tucson, AZ, Connie Jo Christensen (John) Blumthal of Portland, OR, Mark Alan Christensen of Salt Lake City, UT, and David Lars (Julie) Christensen of Park City, UT; grandchildren, Yetive Ruth Laurie (Larry Ruhf), Adam Laurie, Zander Laurie, Stephen A. Shepro (Kathleen Hanson), Amy Jo Shepro (Tim) Tanous, John “Chris” Blumthal, Eric Christensen, Laurel Christensen, and Bryan Christensen; great-grandchildren, Gwyneth, Penny, and Ryan.

His wife Ruth, parents, and siblings Archie, Helen, Bud and Robert preceded him in death. A memorial service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 8, 2013 at The Federated Church of Green Lake, 489 Scott Street Green Lake, WI 54941 with Rev. Karen Rodriguez officiating. Reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Federated Church Memorial Fund in Delbert’s name.

Ila M. Horner, 82 Ila Maxine (Moore) Horner was born

November 24, 1930 to S.T. (Ted) and Minnie (West) Moore at Long Pine, NE. She was the second child of eight and was raised on the banks of Pine Creek on her parents’ farm 4 1/2 miles southeast of Long Pine, NE. Ila had a cheerful, optimistic outlook on life and embraced hard work as a good way of life. 

She graduated from Long Pine High School in 1948 and worked at the Hospital in Stuart, NE the summer after graduation. That fall she took classes and received a teaching certificate before teaching a year in the Buell School District. 

On May 25, 1950, Ila married Eldon Horner, a rancher from Rose, NE.  They purchased the Duff Bank building and moved it onto the home place where they raised eight children. Even if they could have found money in the walls of their new home, they would have chosen to ranch together. They loved this way of life.  Eldon ran a cow/calf operation for years and then switched to raising Hereford steers at some point. Together Eldon and Ila ran the dairy operation which started out by milking the cows by hand while sitting on milk stools and ultimately they grew it into a Grade A dairy operation housed in a brand new dairy barn. Ila continued running the dairy after Eldon passed away in 1986 until the mid 1990’s. She lived on the ranch until shortly before she went home to be with Jesus on November 7, 2013, at the Wheat State Manor in Whitewater, KS.

Through the years in her spare time, you could sometimes find Ila in the middle of a Scrabble game or a jigsaw puzzle. She dearly loved her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved music and was always singing or humming a song and she found it important to give her children piano lessons. She also loved to garden, sharing her produce with her neighbors. She enjoyed spending time with the Jolly Neighbor’s Club and she took her turn receiving the Jolly Neighbor Award. She liked being a Bible School teacher to small children and supporting mission work. She loved her Lord with all her heart.

Ila was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Eldon, her sister Alice Asa, her son-in-law Jonathan Busenitz, her granddaughter Kayla Joy Klooz and great-granddaughter Brenna Layne Clark.

She is lovingly survived by her children, Velda (Jim) Klooz of Purdum, NE; Carolyn (Stan) Clark of Long Pine, NE; Teresa (Larry) Brauser of Fort Collins, CO; Warren Horner of Rose, NE; Joyce (Brian) Grinder of Cheney, WA; Mary (Tom) Boehm of Elbing, KS; Rachel (Gordon) Busenitz of Newton, KS; Genia (James) Entz of Benton, KS; 41 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, two brothers, Lynn (Mary Lou) Moore of Long Pine, NE and Harry (LaWanda) Moore of Parker, CO; four sisters, Lois (Sheldon) Wade of Alliance, NE, Clara Roundtree of Scurry, TX, Carol (Lyle) Birkey of Bonnie Lake, WA; Ardath Sydor of Langley, British Co-lumbia, CN; brother-in-law, Leland (Alie Marie) Asa, and many nieces and nephews.

Funeral services were held on Saturday, November 16, 2013 at the United Methodist Church in Bassett, NE. Pastor Rod Heilbrun and

Dr. Brian Grinder officiated over the service. Congregational hymn of “Wonderful Grace of Jesus” was sung as well as selections by Ila’s grand-children. “What A Friend We Have in Jesus” by Jeana Hackel. “In The Garden” by Warren Horner and Carolyn Clark. Pallbearers were Ila’s sons-in-law, Jim Klooz, Stan Clark, Larry Brauser, Dr. Brian Grinder, Tom Boehm, Gordon Busenitz and James Entz. Burial was held at the Duff Cemetery near Rose, NE under the direction of Hoch Funeral Home of Bassett. Memorials were directed to the Camp Witness of Long Pine, NE or to the Operation Christmas Child.

The Brown County Historical Society met November 12, 2013 at the Coleman House Museum. President Darrel Steele Jr. opened the meeting with the flag salute. Ten members answered roll call. Minutes were read and approved.

The Treasurer’s report was giv-en. The only bill was to NPPD. A memorial was given for Fona. Al Tirevold, whose wife is a grand-daughter of Jacob Wheeler, be-came a lifetime member. They also bought two books. They were delighted that we found a lot of in-formation on their ancestors.

The Christmas Open House and Decorated Gingerbread Contest will be held December 1, 2013 at the Coleman House Museum from 1:00-4:00 p.m. Jean talked on the Open Line program on KBRB radio about the gingerbread contest. The contest rules were sent home with the school children, published in the Ainsworth Star-Journal and are available at the library. Addition-ally, 402-273-4830 or 402-387-2498 can be called for more information.

Sunday, November 24th, will be the day to decorate the house and tree around 1:00 p.m. All members are encouraged to come help with this.

Historical Society Discusses Upcoming Christmas Events

The annual Christmas party for members and guests will be held on December 10th at 6:30 p.m. at the Museum. A list of what people wanted to bring was agreed on.

We need to make a long range plan for the saving of our county artifacts and history. Part of that plan is the space and the best lo-cation needed to continue doing this. Last month, Darrel appointed a small committee to investigate this. This month, he asked if the committee could be expanded to all the officers, and the board plus Maynard. Motion carried.

Darrel Steele Jr. does not want to be president next year. We ap-preciate the many years he has served in that capacity. The Of-ficers and Board for 2014-2015 will be: President - Ruth Ann Steele; Vice President - Kathy Burchell; Secretary - Carol Larson and Trea-surer - Shirley Crone. The board will remain the same with the four officers plus Glenna, Bev, Faith, Darrel and Becky. These officers and board members will take over in January after being sworn in.

Our next business meeting will be January 14, 2014.

/s/ Carol Larson,Secretary

GriefShare: Surviving the Holidays Seminar

Bringing a young person into a farm or ranch operation presents challenges, but at the same time helps accomplish key goals: help-ing the young person get  a solid start, keeping the farm or ranch in the family, and ensuring a more comfortable retirement for all  in-volved. 

But blending a variety of tal-ents and personalities into one operation takes planning, com-munication and management. The Returning to the Farm program is designed to assist families and farm or ranch operations in developing a financial plan and successful work-ing arrangements that will meet the needs of multiple families.

Returning to the Farm will be offered December 16th and 17th in Valentine’s Niobrara Lodge. It is the first time the program has been offered outside of Lincoln in a shorter, two-day format. The workshop schedule is from 1:00-7:00 p.m. CST  December 16th and 9:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. December 17th.

Sponsors are Farm Credit Servic-es of America and UNL Extension.

Registration is due by Decem-ber 5th or until the workshop is full. Some easy homework will be mailed prior to the workshops for completion, so timely registration is important. For more information call UNL Extension in the Central Sandhills at 308-645-2267, or UNL Extension in Cherry County at 402-376-1850.

The workshop is intended for multiple generations. On-site baby-sitting is available. Call for more information and to reserve a spot. 

Returning to the Ranch Workshop in Valentine on December 17th

Returning to the Farm is for families in the early stages of tran-sitioning, where a calm environ-ment allows all to be heard, and a plan to be developed for multiple generations.

Participants will set a transition plan, review financial feasibility, and look at the communication process between family members. Break-out sessions will allow par-ticipants to think through different scenarios.

25 Years Ago 1988On November 19th, the Ainsworth Volunteer Fire Department held

their 1988 Award Banquet. Twenty-six registered firemen and their spouses attended the supper. Five honorary firemen and their wives were also in attendance. Honorary firemen attending were Chet See, Jim VonHeeder, Cow Williams, Bud Lucht and Floyd Crone. The Ainsworth firemen responded to 35 fire calls for a total of 1650 man hours. They also put in 1400 hours of training the past year. Awards were presented to Gerald Schipporeit for Fireman of The Year; Roger Adams for Rookie of the Year; and James Schendt for 20 years of service.

Happy Bear puts in an appearance at Ainsworth Head Start. The Happy Bear play is part of the Happy Bear program, a personal safety program that teaches preschool children, ages three to six years, ways to prevent sexual assault. Through this program, young children also learn the “3 R’s” of prevention- recognizing, resisting and reporting.

50 Years Ago 1963Dick Reece, of Crawford, has been assigned to the Ainsworth area as

predator and rodent control agent for the fish and wildlife service of the Department of Interior. His family, including his wife and three girls, hope to move to Ainsworth about Christmas time. Reece replaces Don Fryda here. Fryda has accepted a transfer to Oxford, NE. He expressed appreciation for the cooperation he had received while agent here, and especially to members of the Rod and Gun club for their work.

Lloyd Johnson, Chester Saner and Clarence Jansen have been chosen by judges to receive the Ainsworth Star-Journal conservation awards for 1963. The awards will be presented at the annual SWCD banquet this evening at the Springview auditorium. Some 285 persons have already purchased tickets to the annual award banquet. First place winner of the newspaper award in Brown County is Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Johnson, who farms north of Ainsworth on an 800 acre unit. Second place winner is Mr. and Mrs. Chester Saner and their family who operate a 6,690 acre ranch in the southern part of Brown County. Third place winner is Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Jansen who operate a farm west of Ainsworth owned by his mother, Mrs. Frankie Jansen, consisting of 240 acres.

75 Years Ago 1938A meat canning demonstration will be held in Ainsworth at the Con-

gregational Church basement Wednesday morning, November 30th at 10:00 a.m. Central Standard Time. Miss Francis Shewmaker, Food Pres-ervation Specialist from Ball Bros. Co. at Muncie, Indiana, will conduct the demonstration. In addition to the demonstration, she will discuss advantages of home canning of meat, methods of canning, steps in the canning process, storing canned goods and success pointers and modern practices. The general public is invited to attend.

A large and appreciative crowd gathered last Thursday at the High School Auditorium and enjoyed the operetta, “The Chimes of Norman-dy”. The cast was well chosen and kept the audience well entertained throughout the performance.

100 Years Ago 1913Last Friday afternoon, a football game between the high school boys

and a town team was pulled off, in which the high school boys took the honors. It was a hard-fought battle all the way through, but when the end came the score stood 48 to 0 in favor of the boys. But that wasn’t the best of it, by no means, the next day there were quite a few of the “Old Married Men” that were so stiff and sore they could hardly navigate. All they can say now is “Never Again.”

West Side notes:C.N. Harr is doing some plowing with his gas tractor and gang plows for C. Alberts. There was a party at Longs last Friday night. Chris Cord has a new gasoline engine and is shelling corn.

A visit over to the mill by the writer, found the Shrimpton boys all busy and turning out flour, meal, etc., at a lively rate. The mill is doing a good business and selling about all the flour they can make. Every good citizen should boast for our mill and all other home enterprises.

125 Years Ago 1888Now that the court house is completed, it would be well for the county

officials and our citizens to see to the fixing up and beautifying of the court house square. A little expense on behalf of the county and some work by the people and Ainsworth can have one of the finest squares in the northwest.

Not the best weather in the world for the coal dealer.Ainsworth is becoming quite a shipping market.The streets of Ainsworth are in a very fine condition.Several car loads of hogs have been shipped from Ainsworth this week.

I love my wife. My wife Toby and I have been married for 19 years and our relationship is getting stronger and stronger all the time. Not to say that everything is perfect because we have had our share of struggles. I know for a fact, that we are doing well today and growing closer to each other because of our relationship with Jesus Christ. If it was not for us putting our relationship with Jesus first, I could probably say that we would not even be together. We would have gotten so self-absorbed that eventually we would have driven apart.

Toby is an amazing musician. She writes music and lyrics and most of it is straight from the Bible. She is going to start a new music ministry and she is going to get into the studio and record music to distribute for free. To kick off this ministry, she is going to hold a free concert this Friday at 7:00pm at the E-Free church. Everybody is welcome. My point to this is that although things are good between us right now, even when things are not good, I’m to always treat her with the upmost respect and love. The best thing I can do for her is to point her to Jesus and support her in her Journey as a child of God, wife, mother, and friend. The amazing thing is: as she grows in her relationship to God, our relationship grows as well.

If you do not have a relationship with Christ, then this is the first step in mending your relationships with others. It starts with you. Acknowl-edge to God that you have made huge mistakes and genuinely turn from those things that are keeping you down. Talk to God right now and tell Him what is going on and receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Salva-tion is a free gift. We can not earn it and we don’t deserve it but because of our faith in God’s grace alone we can be saved. When you have done this, then pursue God wholeheartedly and watch what He will do with you and the relationships you are in. It will be nothing short of amazing! To find out more about a relationship with God; come out to the concert this Friday and also join us for the Sunday service at 10:00 am. I hope to see you at the service and the concert.

News Briefs....Country Cash Advance Ribbon Cutting

The Ainsworth Area Chamber of Commerce will be holding a Ribbon Cutting for Country Cash Advance, located at 218 W. 3rd Street in Ainsworth, on Thursday, November 21st at 1:00 p.m.

SilenceIs GoldenThe value of silence in our noisy andbusy world is easy to overlook, andeven though many of us would like aquieter environment, it can be almostimpossible to find a truly quiet place inmuch of the modern world. Cars,trucks and motorcycles with loudmufflers are some of the worstoffenders when it comes to disruptingwhat little serenity we have. Loudmusic and boisterous parties areperennial disturbers of the peace aswell. Since loud and inconsideratepeople are not likely to be convinced ofthe errors of their ways, holy men andwomen have always known theimportance of sequestering themselves,going into caves or sojourning in thewilderness. Some religious orders eventake vows of silence. Finding quiettime each and every day pays bigdividends to our spiritual andemotional health, and probably ourphysical health as well. We shouldconsider also whether our lifestyle iscontributing to a quieter world or ifwe are one of those vexatiousdisturbers of the peace.

– Christopher Simon

This Gingerbread House was built by Dawn Dorsey in 2012 and she won the Adult Gingerbread House competition.

Gingerbread and Royal Frosting Can Help Make That Perfect House or People

Do you need to make a family tradition for Thanksgiving time? Maybe this year is the year to start making your Gingerbread Houses and People a new tradition. The entire family can get involved and come up with a great idea and com-pete in the Brown County Histori-cal Societies Contest.

With the right idea, design, gin-gerbread and frosting, decorating can begin. We are giving you the recipes for Gingerbread and Royal Frosting that were provided to us by the Brown County Historical Society.

Gingerbread(Made with Molasses)

2 1/2 Cups Flour1/2 Cup Sugar1/2 Cup Shortening1/2 Cup Light Molasses1 Egg1 Teaspoon Ground Ginger1 Tablespoon Vinegar1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cloves1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda1 Teaspoon Baking PowerBeat shortening in a large mix-

ing bowl with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 sec-onds. Add sugar, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves. Beat till combined. Beat in molasses, egg, and vinegar. Beat in as much flour was you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon. Cover and chill 3 hours or until easy to handle. Cut and bake. Lightly grease the back of a 15 x 10 x 1 inch baking pan. If desired, placed on a damp towel to prevent it from slid-ing around. Roll some of the dough 1/4 inch thick on the greased pan. Place some of the pattern pieces 1 inch apart on dough. Cut around each piece with a sharp knife. Remove excess dough (save for rerolling), leaving dough cutouts on the pan. Bake in 375 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and centers are just firm.

Leaving gingerbread on the pan, place pattern pieces on the warm, baked cookie pieces and trim edges exactly. Return gingerbread to oven and bake 3 minutes more or till very firm. Cook 3 minutes on pan. Loosen bottoms of cookie pieces with spatula. Cool complete-ly on pan; transfer to wire racks. Repeat with remaining dough and patterns. You will generally need two batches of dough for a house. Mix batches separately so that it will not overflow your mixer bowl.

Royal FrostingThis works well and dries hard.1 Pound Confectioners’ Sugar (about 4 cups)3 Egg Whites (At Room Temperature - Use Large Size, Not Jumbo Size Eggs)1/2 Teaspoon Cream of TartarSift the confectioners’ sugar.

Place the egg whites in a mixer bowl. Add sugar and cream of tartar to egg whites while stirring. When all the sugar is incorporated, turn mixer to high and beat mixtures until thick and very white. The icing should hold a stiff peak. The process takes about 5 to 7 minutes, longer is using a hand-held mixer. Cover icing tightly with plastic wrap, as it dries very quickly. Use paste food colors to tint the icing. A tiny dot on a toothpick to a quarter cup of icing will make a nice pastel color -- but be sure to add it a little at a time.

Royal Meringue Recipe3 Level Tablespoons Meringue Powder Mix4 Cups Confectioners’ Sugar (1 Pound)5 Tablespoons WaterBeat all ingredients at low speed

for 7 to 10 minutes (10-12 at high speed for portable mixer) until icing forms peaks. Keep tightly covered, it dries out easily.

Decorating and AssemblyIf you allow gingerbread pieces to

dry overnight, they will be firmer and better for construction. Fill pastry bag with royal icing. Keep any remaining icing covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated until needed. If icing in bag begins to dry and plugs the decorating tip, just wipe the tip with a wet cloth. While pieces are lying flat, deco-rate houses as desired, piping on windows, doors, etc. Use icing to attach candies and any other edible garnishes. Let stand about 2 hours or until icing is dry.

Working on waxed paper, pipe white icing with the star tip or spread icing along the edges of an end and a side. Press the pieces to-gether, holding them in place with short glasses, measuring cups, or heavy coffee mugs. Add remaining side, then end, piping icing on edges to be attached. Keep the supports in place until the icing has dried and pieces are secure (about 2 hours).

For roof, pipe or spread icing along the top edges of the house. Set one roof piece into place, using straight pins to hold roof till icing has dried. Repeat with remaining roof piece. Let dry thoroughly. Remove pins. Carefully move house onto a tray or wooden cut-

ting board.Ideas for Decorating: Use tinted

green coconut for grass, candy can pillars, wafer sidewalks, chewing gum steps, peanut brittle or Oreo’s for path. Shutters - sticks of gum, wafer cookies or Lorna Doones.

Shingles - Crackers, licorice, pretzels, cereal, candy wafers, chocolate chips, M & Ms hard pep-permint candy discs, neat frosting designs made with star tip, life savers.

Fences - Pretzels (either stick or twists) or candy canes.

Chimneys - Nestle crunch pieces, caramels, make with gingerbread dough and decorate with frosting to look like bricks.

Trees - Upside down sugar cones covered with green frosting.

So now you have what you need to make a new tradition ... let the fun begin!

Veterans Buddy Small - US Air Force, Tony Lentz - US Air Force and Bob Beatty - US Army, were on hand to talk to students at Lila McAndrew Elementary about their experience being in the United States Military.

The men explained the various branches of service - Army and Ma-rine Corps - ground, Navy - ocean/sea, Air Force - air, Air National Guard - helps with forest fires, or typhoons (helps secure people), Coast Guard - guards the coasts of the United States and helps guard coasts of friendly countries to the United States.

Their meals - MRE - Meals Ready to Eat were pretty good.

Many times, these veterans while serving their country never made it home for the holidays. When you serve your country it is an honor; but with honor you give up a lot of time with family.

The men and women they served with became their family away from home.

Burrage guilty not only of dealing drugs, but also of his client’s over-dose and subsequent death, even though the client had used a variety of substances to overdose and Bur-rage had only provided the heroin.

During the original trial, experts could not testify that without the heroin, the user would not be dead, a key component of Campbell’s ar-gument before the Supreme Court.

Burrage was sentenced to 20 years in prison for trafficking drugs and an additional 20 years for his role in the death, the portion of the sentence which is being appealed.

A complete transcript of Camp-bell’s argument for the Burrage v. United Sates case may be found at www.supremecourt.gov under “oral arguments”.

According to a well-respected Court analyst, Lyle Denniston of SCOTUSblog, Campbell argued her case well, though a final decision from the Court is not expected until June. Further details of the case, as well as Denniston’s reviews, can be found at www.scotusblog.com.

When it comes to major meal prep this time of year, the Thanks-giving turkey is what comes to mind immediately. Whether it’s your first year hosting or your fifty-first, keep these tips from the Food Network handy for the perfect bird this year.

For a whole turkey, allow about one pound meat per person, which includes a moderate amount for leftovers. If you like a lot of left-overs, allow up to 1-1/2 pounds per person. Turkeys range in size from 4 pounds, which are baby turkeys about the size of a chicken, to whoppers up to 25 pounds. Make sure your roasting pan, oven and refrigerator can accommodate the size of turkey you buy. There’s nothing worse on Thanksgiving than realizing the bird won’t fit in the oven or the pan.

• Thawing a frozen turkey re-quires patience. The safest method is to thaw turkey in the refrigera-tor. Be sure to plan ahead — it takes approximately 4-5 days for a 20 pound turkey to fully defrost.

• For crisper skin, unwrap the turkey the day before roasting and leave it uncovered in the refrigera-tor overnight.

• Cooking times will differ de-pending on whether your bird was purchased fresh or frozen. Plan on 20 minutes per pound in a 350 de-gree F oven for a defrosted turkey and 10 to 15 minutes per pound for fresh.

• A turkey will cook more evenly if it is not densely stuffed. Consider adding flavor by loosely filling the cavity with aromatic vegetables — carrots, celery, onion or garlic work nicely — or by carefully tucking fresh herbs underneath the breast skin. For the stuffing lovers, cook the dressing in a cas-

serole dish on the side. Cooking the stuffing inside the turkey increases your risk of salmonella.

• Before roasting, coat the outside of the turkey with vegetable or olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Stuffing some flavored fat (such as butter with salt and herbs) under the skin will help flavor meat, but don’t go overboard. Too much fat will just make the meat greasy. Whichever method you choose, tightly cover the breast with alumi-num foil to prevent over-browning (it will be removed later).

• You want the entire bird to roast evenly and have crispy skin all over, so consider elevating it off the surface of the roasting pan. A good-sized roasting rack will do the trick, which allows air to circulate under the bird - crisping it all the way around.

• Once you get the turkey in the oven, resist the temptation to open the oven door and admire your handiwork. When the oven tem-perature fluctuates, you increasing the likelihood of a dry bird. About 45 minutes before you think the turkey is done, remove the foil from the breast to allow it to brown.

• Remove the turkey from the oven and use an instant-read ther-mometer to determine tempera-ture; it should read 175 degrees F at the thigh when it’s done. If you stuff your turkey, check the internal temperature of the stuffing as well; it should be at least 165 degrees.

• Tent the bird with foil and let rest for about 25 minutes before carving. If you need more time to make gravy, heat up side dishes, etc., you can let the turkey set for up to an hour without losing too much heat.

• Remember to carve your turkey with a very sharp or electric knife.

Keep Yourself Healthy During Cold and Flu Season

(StatePoint) Cooler temperatures often bring along the season’s sniffles and colds.  With a few win-ter wellness tips, you can prepare for a happier and healthier season, regardless of your budget, with the following tips.

Preventive CareA nutritious diet and plenty of

rest can help you stay strong this winter so consider keeping juices, vegetables and fruits in your fridge all winter long.

You can improve your nutri-tional balance and overall wellness with vitamins and supplements.

Stock Your Medicine CabinetWhen illness strikes, the last

thing you’ll want to do is rush to the store. A well-stocked medicine cabinet can save a trip when you’re feeling your worst. Keep over-the-counter cold and flu relief medica-tions on-hand for both day and night, as well as cough suppressant and a general pain reliever. Parents should ensure they have medica-tions suitable for children, too.

Healthy Skin Skin is prone to dryness in win-

ter, so apply moisturizer as soon

as you get out of the shower. If possible, ditch the scalding hot showers for warm water, as heat can be very drying.   Don’t forget that the sun’s rays can be just as potent in winter as in summer, so don’t neglect the sunscreen and lip balm just because of the cool temperatures.

Germ-Free While germs exist year-round,

your body may be more susceptible to cold and flu viruses in winter. Be sure to wash your hands thor-oughly and use a hand sanitizer.

Soup’s On! Start all your winter meals with

a warm bowl of soup full of protein, vegetables and liquids. If you don’t have the time to make soup from scratch, healthful and delicious ready-made soup can be a great alternative.

Stay Active Don’t let your exercise routine

fall by the wayside in winter. Ex-ercise can improve your immunity and also help keep winter pounds at bay.

With some preparation, staying healthy in winter can be easy.

Sometimes....Sometimes it seems such a long

climb to get up to where I want to be.

And I ask myself if maybe...I should stop and rest.

It’s while I’m resting that I re-member if you stop too long on an uphill climb, you sometimes slip backward, just a little bit...and lose a foot or two and when you’re measuring by inches...

It’s then I get that second surge of strength and keep on climbing...

For though it’s still a long, long way to go, it’s also a long, long way from where I’ve been.

We want to thank everyone for their support, caring, encourage-ment and generosity. What a great community to live in.

Thanks to the Pink Ladies Dart League and everyone that helped in any way to organize the benefit.

God Bless you all!Dan and Jackie

City Administrator Kristi Thorn-burg reported that there is ap-proximately $170,400.00 available in Economic Development Re-Use Funds. Thornburg said that if the funds are not used they will be re-turned to the Nebraska Department of Economic Development.

There are strict guidelines for the Re-Use funds. Guidelines are available at the NCDC office in Ainsworth.

Water MetersThe Council heard a presentation

from representatives of HD Supply Waterworks about an automated water meter reading system.

The City of Ainsworth replaced

all water meters in Ainsworth in 1997 and 1998. At that time there were 864 water meters.

The current water meters have a life expectancy of 15 years or 750,000 gallons of water metered.

HD Supply Waterworks rep-resentatives showed the Council examples of their meters and me-ter readers and explained how the meters worked, warranty and cost.

The new meters have a radio frequency controller that sends the water information to a receiver. The Water Department personnel can drive the town and record the meter readings for billing.

Presently, the Water Department personnel have to go up to every building to get the meter readings.

HD Supply Waterworks said that the time should be cut from 4 to 5 days down to few hours, plus the new meters are more accurate and would increase the City’s revenue.

Cost of the new system would be approximately $250,000.00 for meters, hand-held reader and software.

VehiclesMayor Moody reported to the

Council that there are two retired

fire department vehicles that the City owns.

One is a 1967 fire truck that the Mayor proposed making into a dump truck and the other is a 1993 Chevy pickup that was used as a command vehicle.

The Council didn’t show inter-est in making a dump truck out of the 1967 truck but talked about selling it.

The Council agreed to use of the 1993 Chevy pickup by City person-nel.

Vacating StreetPhoebe McDaniel met with the

Council to discuss the possibility to vacate a portion of 5th Street near Dutrow Subdivision of City 2nd Addition.

After discussion of the present use of the street and utility ease-ments, the Council directed Phoebe McDaniel to have an abstract done to determine if and what utilities are present in that portion of the street and then come back to the Council for determination on the possibility of vacating that portion of 5th Street.
