The Lexington School Board ap-proved the purchase of new math and science materials for kindergarten through fifth grade (K-5) during their monthly board meeting Monday night.

The new K-5 math curriculum will come from Great Minds, LLC at a cost of $183,604 with the science ma-terials to be purchased from Acceler-ate Learning, Inc. for $127,015.

Curriculum Director Julie Myers noted a group of teachers piloted two math programs during the first semes-ter and the Great Minds appeared to be more rigorous and best for stu-dents.

Implementation will be staggered over the next two years. At Sandoz

and Pershing Elementaries, grades K-2 will use the new math materials starting this fall and grades 3-5 will begin in 2020-21. Bryan Elementary will implement grades K-3 in 2019-20 and grades 4-5 in 2020-21. Payment for the new materials will come from the district’s depreciation fund.

With the science curriculum teachers and principals participated in a review of two different programs that have been implemented in elementary set-tings across Nebraska and chose “Stem/Scopes.” Myers noted the other science alternative, “Amplify,” was significantly higher in cost.

Implementation will be opposite the math implementation. At Sandoz and Pershing implementation for grades 3-5 will be in 2019-20 and for grades K-2 in 2020-21. Bryan will implement grades 4-5 in 2019-20 and K-3 in

2020-21. This purchase will also be made through the depreciation fund.

In other new business the board ap-proved a $22,930 proposal by Fire-spring, a Lincoln technology firm, to redesign the district website. Director of Technology Kristi Jergensen noted it was time for an update as the cur-rent website is 10 years old and very tough to navigate. After Jergensen and her staff compared proposals and ref-erences from three website design contractors they recommended Fire-spring as the best value for services provided.

“While Firespring’s upfront design costs are higher than the others, they will provide ongoing maintenance for $75 per month, which is substantially

Adding color and pizzazz to the 100th Meridian City will be 20 Art Palettes that soon will be on display all around Cozad.

On Wednesday evening, March 13th, the ‘Big Re-veal’ is set to happen with all 20 of the Art Palettes to be on display at the Cozad Elks Club during a Busi-ness After Hours that will be held from 5-7 p.m.

“There have been a lot of artists, sponsors, volunteers, and local groups that have contributed to bringing this project to Cozad. This project is fun and I hope everyone enjoys the talent and work that went into bringing it to fruition,” ex-pressed Cozad Develop-

ment Corporation (CDC) Executive Director Jen McKeone. “I hope this is something that creates ex-citement and makes every-one whether they are from Cozad or anywhere else ap-preciate Cozad’s art legacy.”

The 20 palettes all had sponsors that cost $500. After they were painted by the chosen artists, a clear coat was applied to each by Eustis Body Shop, so the palettes are able to with-stand the climates outside. Each Palette will be con-nected to a base that Paulsen Inc. is creating.

After the palettes have been displayed throughout Cozad in 2019, they will be auctioned off.

Lexington School Board Approves New Math And Science curriculums

Keeping an active lifestyle has been important for Helen Brooks of Cozad to enjoy her exercising routines with family as she is currently 96 years young, she just celebrated a milestone birthday in late February.

Twice a week, on Mondays and Thursday mornings, Helen is joined by many members of the TRIBUNE-Area during the

Elders Living Fit (ELF) Classes that are held at the Cozad Wellness Center from 10 a.m. until 10:45 a.m. The Class usually has over 20 members, regardless of rain or shine, snow or sleet. “I usually try to get here early to set up for class and a lot of the elders are already present, chatting before classes begin,” expressed ELF Instructor Renee Hueftle.

For Cozad’s Brooks, the exercise routines started probably six or seven years ago. In the past when weather allowed, Helen used to walk with a neighbor nearly a mile a day, “We used to walk to the viaduct and back home before I went to work,” explained Brooks.

Cozad’s proposed hospital district was given a green light Wednesday at a

public hearing before Dawson County Com-missioners. Petitions requesting formation of a district were found to be in order by the commissioners and an election on the pro-posal was set for May 6 to determine if dis-trict freeholders (resident land owners) are in favor of formation.

Construction is getting underway again on

Inspection of meatpacking plants used to be a matter of state or local law. Omaha’s meat inspection ordinance in 1901 was the subject of a whimsical account by the Omaha Daily News of October 10, 1901. When shady entrepreneurs tried to game the system, a resulting court battle came down to the size of rabbits: “The size to which rabbits grow in Eu-rope and America was the principal and only question discussed in police court yesterday afternoon at the trial of Henry Bonehoff of Benson, charged with bring-ing uninspected meat, and sus-pected to be horse meat, into the city limits. “The reason for the transformation of the court from a dis-pensary of justice to a class in natural history was a clause in the new meat in-spection ordinance, providing that it is unlawful for any one to bring into the city limits the carcass, or portion of a carcass of an animal larger than a rabbit, unless it has been properly inspected. The wise men who passed the ordinance undoubtedly meant that the animal in question should be larger than a rabbit, but the attorneys for Bonehoff so construed it to mean that the individual pieces of meat should be greater than a rabbit. As Bonehoff’s meat was cut up into small chunks, the defense sought to prove that none of these pieces were

larger than a cotton tail, a jack rabbit, Bel-gian hare or any old kind of a rabbit. “This interpretation of the law opened up limitless possibilities and, for the whole afternoon, the court was regaled with a choice assortment of rabbit stories which rivaled the best fish story ever told. Charles Daltrop, a friend of Bonehoff, tes-tified that he saw a rabbit in Germany in 1890, which was at least three feet long. A neighbor of Bonehoff once saw in Mon-

tana a rabbit which resembled a young antelope. Another witness saw in Col-orado a monstrous rabbit, whose fur was so large it was used for a rug.

“Dr. Ramac-ciotti testified for the state that Bonehoff’s meat was unin-spected and that several pieces ex-ceeded in size the largest rabbit he ever saw. This com-pleted the testimony. City Prosecutor

Thomas then asked for a continuance to look up authorities in natural history to prove that rabbits never grow to be more than a foot and a half in length.” We don’t know how the case was re-solved. Meat inspection laws remained weak for several more years. In 1905, Upton Sinclair published The Jungle, a novel that exposed filthy and unsafe con-dition in packinghouses. The resulting public outcry led to the federal Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906.

How Meat Was Inspected In Early 20th Century

Well folks, be careful what you wish for. After weeks of snow and ice and more snow and ice, we finally got that thaw we were wishing for. The speed with which the snow piles have disappeared over the past two days has absolutely amazed me.

Sunday morning there were still two-foot and a few three-foot drifts all around the house that had built up throughout February’s various snow and wind events. Nary a piece of lawn was visible in that world of white. Icicles three and four-feet long dripped from the gutters all around the house and our various outbuildings.

Fast forward after two days of sunshine and temperatures in the mid-40s and those mounds of snow have melted into puddles and mini-lakes all over the farm yard. For the past two days it hasn’t been safe to walk along the edges of our metal outbuildings as the snow slid in great chunks off the roofs like tiny avalanches.

Icicles have all but disappeared as the gutters now run nearly free for the first time since November. No more worries about receiving a falling dagger on the head or shoulder.

Instead oceans of mud have replaced the rapidly melting snow piles. What’s left looks grey and brown covered in the gravel and assorted gunk pushed up with the loader over

multiple snowstorms. Anyone living on gravel roads now drives

through inches of muck as the rapid thaw has turned our normally firm roads into gushy,

squishy paths. The county road graders were out yesterday trying to salvage some of the gravel that had been pushed into the road ditches this winter, but I’m afraid it was an effort in futility.

The normally dry creek that winds its’ way through the fields west of our house is running like it does after a hard summer rain and the culvert all the water must go through is absolutely full of water backing up more than a quarter mile in the north road ditch.

With 1.5 inches or more of rain predicted by Thursday I’m guessing we may need a boat to get to town as the water is sure to come rushing over the road before all the snow melt can drain away.

But before anyone starts groaning about all the mud that will produce as the rain surely will melt any remaining snow, have no fear. Mother Nature will help dry up some of that surplus moisture by sending us 40-60 mph winds along with and after the rain. That gives us the wonderful option of either floating away or blowing away.

Ah, spring in Nebraska – it’s not for everyone.

We celebrate National Ag Week to recognize the tireless efforts of our farmers and ranchers to feed the American people and a sizeable portion of the rest of the world. It has always been a point of pride for me to represent Nebraska’s Third District, which is the highest producing ag district in the country.

With recent turbulence in the commodity markets, it is important we do everything in our power to provide certainty for the ag sector which underpins our rural economy. For this reason, I was happy Congress passed a five-year Farm Bill including robust crop insurance and a new livestock vaccine bank to help contain potential future outbreaks of disease.

While this is a positive step, I have been troubled by the rhetoric coming from my colleagues on the other side of the aisle who may not share our understanding of rural America. Initiatives such as the Green New Deal fit into a pattern of negligence whereby Congressional Democrats are increasingly focused on urban and suburban communities at the expense of rural areas.

Washington seems to have forgotten the months- and miles-long supply chain which leads to the local grocery store. Labels like “factory farming” are

disrespectful to our farmers and ranchers who are the best stewards of our natural resources. Modern ag practices are becoming more sustainable and environmentally friendly with each day that passes.

Simply put, it is in the best interests of our ag producers to grow more products using less water and land

than their competitors. The crux of what President Trump is trying to accomplish is to enable American industry and agriculture to flex its competitive muscle by leveling the international playing field.

I would put our farmers and ranchers up against those of any other country in the world and expect them to produce more with less resources on any given day. Ag products are America’s number one export; more than energy, aircraft, or auto parts; and any policy changes considered by

Congress should keep this fact in mind. Please remember our ag community

as we celebrate National Ag Week this March and don’t forget to show a local farmer or rancher how much we appreciate what they do. As Co-Chair of the Congressional Rural Caucus, this is a large part of what I hope to accomplish, along with reminding my colleagues in Congress of the importance of ensuring our rural communities have a voice at the table.

Ever since she has been a member of the Cozad Wellness Center, she has exercised indoors. Which in fact took quite a bit of motivation from her sister, expressed Helen. “Once my husband passed away, I had more time and I started coming to classes and started walking as well.”

Brooks walks laps with her son-in-law, many times she will have walked many laps in the mornings prior to attending ELF Classes at 10 a.m.

“It keeps me moving and its way better than just sit-ting at home. It gets me out of the house,” ex-plained Brooks, when asked what she thought the benefits were for her to participate in the ELF Class.

To echo Brooks senti-ments, many exercises for Seniors address endurance or aerobic activities that increase a participants breathing and heart rate. The participants strength exercises with dumbells and exercise bands make their muscles stronger and more flexible. Balance ex-ercises help tremendously in preventing falls.

Renee Hueftle, Darrel Francescato, Roz Trusdale

and Linda Linke are the instructors for the ELF Classes that are one of the many programs available at the Cozad Wellness Center. Each instructor teaches the class a little different but in the words of Helen, “Its all good for you.”

“I look forward teaching the class and keeping close with the participants in the

ELF Class, It is great to keep informed and com-municate with all the par-ticipants. It is part of my extended family,” stated Instructor Renee Hueftle. “We have celebrated birth-days and other milestones together at the end of classes.”

Physically, I don’t think the participants in the ELF classes would be doing as

well as they are during the long, grueling winter like this years without the ELF Classes. Helen is one of the participants that would find a way to walk and ex-ercise regardless,” ex-plained Hueftle. “ELF participants are able to feed their minds, interact with fellow class members and do something healthy.”

lower than fees charged by other providers,” she said.

Firespring representatives will be on site to get input from staff and students during the design process and Jergensen said they hope the new site will be ready to launch this summer.

Jergensen noted the technology committee is also recommending going ahead with the purchase of new computers and iPads for ele-mentary teachers this summer in-stead of in 2020 because of continuing problems with the hard drives on the current computers. A recommendation will be offered at the April board meeting.

Under the policy and transporta-tion report the board approved a re-vision to Policy 4060 concerning resignations of certificated staff. The change moves up the deadline for certificated staff (teachers and administrators) to submit resigna-tions and contract renewal agree-ments. Current policy is May 1 and resignations and renewals will now be due by April 15. “We are in a tight labor market and recom-mended the change to ensure we can hire the best teachers and ad-

ministrators in a timely fashion,” said Hakonson.

The district will continue the prac-tice of allowing certificated employ-ees to get out of contracts up to June 1, contingent upon finding suitable replacements.

Under the consent agenda the board approved the following hires: Angela Blankenship, Pershing Media Specialist, to replace Ruth Seward, who is retiring; Tiffany Foster, Lexington High School (LHS) special education teacher; Jamie Gruntorad, Sandoz Media Specialist, is transferring from a third grade classroom to the position at Sandoz; Abby Krysl, Pershing fifth grade, replacing Kylie Lewis who resigned; Taylor Rieper, Persh-ing fourth grade, will teach a new section of fourth grade due to the large class size; Nicole Stewart, school psychologist, replaces a posi-tion previously contracted through ESU 10; Jason Sullivan, LHS social studies, replaces Eric Bell who was reassigned to LHS instructional coach. Sullivan is currently Superin-tendent at Elm Creek and prior to moving to Elm Creek taught and was an assistant principal at Lexing-ton Middle School.

Under reports and comments both Hakonson and Myers noted all Lex-ington elementary schools received an adjustment on their final state as-sessment rating, with three schools receiving a good rating and three a rating of “great.” Myers said all buildings moved up in their ratings from 2018, when three schools re-ceived “need improvement” ratings and three were ranked good.

Board President Travis Maloley complemented the district’s teachers and administrators for their hard work in achieving the improved ratings. “Two years ago, when I first joined the board, I know what a tough deci-sion it was to have the district move each elementary to being grade spe-cific. But we are seeing results.”

Congratulations went out to the girls and boys powerlifting teams and coaches for winning the state power-lifting competition for the third straight year and to the boys’ varsity basketball team for making the district finals and compiling 15 wins this sea-son, the most since 1995.

At 7:24 p.m. the board went into executive session for the purpose of discussing compensation for classi-fied and administrative staff. No ac-tion was taken.

Maildrop Cherished Photographs:

To Area Citizens: This is an extremely unusual and significant opportunity that

has been afforded to our entire region by Don Milroy, retired owner of Brown-Harano Studios. Don has donated all the pictures/negatives from the Studio from the late 1930’s through 2018 to the Lincoln County Historical Museum. Vol-unteers at the museum are busy examining every envelope for contents. Those of historical significance to the area will be archived and cared for by the museum. The vast majority of pictures - graduation pictures, wedding pictures, family pictures, child pictures and individual pictures will be cata-loged and made available to the subject of the picture by being advertised on the museum web page at: www.lincol-ncountymuseum.org.

If the name of family member appears on the Brown-Ha-rano links on the web page those pictures may be claimed at the museum. In accordance with Mr. Milroy’s wishes, the mu-seum is hoping for donations to the operation of the museum in exchange.

At the present time we have cataloged over 4,000 of an es-timated 80,000 envelopes filled with pictures of area families. Even in this first glimpse there have been numbers of pictures from pretty much every community in the region and well be-yond. If you do not see your family names on the website, don’t call—the only available pictures are those listed. It will be a long process. The list will likely grow each week, so con-tinue to check the museum website. Period updates on progress and copies of unidentified pictures will appear on the Museum Facebook page - search for us on Facebook at “Lincoln County Historical Museum”.

We hope to bring to readers many family pictures for their personal archives and memories.

Unicameral Update

Greetings District 36. Even though March has arrived, winter has decided to hold on a little longer. We have now accumulated over 55 inches of snow in Lincoln this winter. This is only 4 inches away from breaking the all-time snowfall record recorded during the 1914-15 winter season. Wind and snow aside, your Legislature has been hard at work addressing issues facing our state.

During the past week we have discussed some very difficult and emotional issues. Full and fair debate on is-sues such as eminent domain, gender equity, and the rights of convicted felons, are not easy or comfortable. Each Senator brings our own life experiences, back-ground, and geographical area into the discussion. These, and other issues, are important and as Senators we are expected to engage in thoughtful debate. I appre-ciate the wonderful support and communication I con-tinue to receive from my District on these topics.

During the next few weeks, Senators will be choosing their personal priority bills for the session. I have selected my bill, LB463, as my priority. This bill focuses on issues surrounding our current process of counties selling tax certificates and later issuing tax deeds, on properties that are extremely delinquent on their property taxes. There have been abuses, and some very inequitable results, with the current process and procedures provided for in law. LB463 substantially increases the notice require-ments to property owners, and gives delinquent taxpay-ers multiple opportunities to pay their taxes before risking loss of their property. This bill, which is co-sponsored by 11 other Senators, was heard in the Revenue Committee and was advanced on an 8-0 vote. I expect the bill will be scheduled for general file debate before the full Legisla-ture next week.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m proud to Chair the Bank-ing, Commerce, and Insurance Committee. We have nearly completed our hearing schedule for this legislative session. The members of the Committee have worked hard to handle the bills referenced to the Committee. Much of this legislation is designed to improve the busi-ness conditions in our state, which is a necessary part of growing Nebraska. A special thanks is in order to the Committee members and Committee staff for efficiently handling the workload.

Cozad Resident:William C. Laird, Age 90

(1928-2019)William Calvin Laird's spirit was re-

leased from his worn out body March9th, 2019 at the age of 90. He was bornon July 4th, 1928 at the Laird Home-stead west of Cozad, Nebraska.

Billy was baptized at 12 years of age atthe Cozad Christian Church. He servedon the church board and as a deacon formany years. He married Donna JeanBartlett March 30th, 1953.

Billy was sitting on a milk stool at 5years of age. This was the start of a lifefull of hard work, but also lots of col-orful life events. Staying true to his 4thof July birthday, anyone that knew him realized he was afirecracker to the end. He led quite an interesting life filledwith wonderful adventures with many family and friends.

Trading labor with his brothers-in-law, Dale and WayneBartlett, and neighbor Vern White, resulted in many wildadventures in the north hills and river pastures. The SOBTruck-Line, later known as the “Over-the-Hill” Truck-Line, was born of these work relationships. He cherishedmemories of picking corn, haying, and running cattle.Every event and job was a family affair. Stormy, he's goingto catch you up in heaven! (His favorite horse).

He loved the mountains! Family elk hunts in the moun-tains of Wyoming were always a special time. This loveled to working 20 years at Old Faithful in Yellowstone Na-tional Park beginning in 1985. He and Donna made manywonderful friends from all walks of life. Many a happyhour was spent around the campfire with them. All of OldFaithful knew when the “Pot Stirrer” showed up!

After his Yellowstone years, he began a new adventure in2004, opening a feed store with his two sons. Health issuesforced him to retire, but he maintained his daily job as“Chief Coffee Maker” and questionable “Public RelationsManager.”

He and Donna enjoyed once a month Pinochle Club formany years. In later years, Saturday mornings were re-served for coffee and rolls with kids, grandkids, and greatgrandkids. He loved making early morning wake up callsand visits to his children. Happy Hour (5:00 p.m.) with acold drink was a favorite time of his. His family was hisgreatest love.

Bill was the son of Nancy (Harlan) and Ross Laird. Hewas preceded in death by an infant sister, Blanche Ellenand younger sister, Beverly (Laird) Boyd. He is survivedby his loving wife of 65 years, 11 months and 9 days,Donna Jean. A feat in its own! Five children left to cherishmemories of him are: Cynthia (PJ) Jacobson, Nancy Laird,Pat (Barbara) Laird, Ann (Bruce) Bergman, and Tom(Pam) Laird. Eight Grandkids: Billy (Cali) Jacobson, Dane(Chandra) Robison, Lorne (Jody) Laird, Kasey (Tyler)McNitt, Meggan (Eric) Ide, Emily Laird, Jacob Laird, andEllen Laird. Eight Great Grandchildren: Mylo and WyattJacobson; Brady Robison; Beau and Berkley McNitt; andMyles, Landry and Benjamin Ide. Two Step Great Grand-children; Jaysa Ott and Sophie McNitt. Also survived byone brother, John Ross (Bobbi) Laird, brothers-in-law:Dale Bartlett, Lyle Bartlett, and Gordon Boyd, and lots ofnieces, nephews and friends.

Please remember him by raising a glass of your favoritedrink in his memory. Jack Daniels would be quite appro-priate! His favorite toast: "Here's to mud in your eye!"That's the way it was going west!

Memorials are suggested to the family in his memory forlater designation. Online condolences may be shared atberrymanfuneralhome.com. A private graveside servicewill be held at Cozad Cemetery. Pallbearers will be the 8Grandchildren and Honorary Pallbearers will be the 8Great Grandchildren. Visitation was Tuesday, March 12th,2019 from 1pm to 8pm with family receiving friends from6pm to 8pm at Berryman Funeral Home.

Ne Mule Deer ReceiveGPS Monitoring Devices

One hundred and twentymule deer does are wear-ing GPS monitoring de-vices for the second yearof a research study de-signed to aid in the man-agement of mule deerpopulations in high- andlow-density areas of Ne-braska.A crew of about 15 peo-

ple, consisting of graduatestudents, faculty, and col-laborators from the Schoolof Natural Resources at theUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), along withNebraska Game and ParksCommission (NGPC) staff,equipped the deer withmonitoring devices after ahelicopter capture crewcaught them in four studyareas last week; two in thenorthwest and two in thesouthwest.The GPS devices will

allow for remote monitor-ing via satellite and pro-vide valuable data onmovements and habitat usewhile still allowing re-searchers to locate the deeron the ground to investi-gate possible mortalitiesand other importantevents.The study is being con-

ducted by UNL professorDr. John Benson and histeam including crew leaderEmma Kring. Data fromthis study will help deter-mine survival rates andfactors influencing mortal-ity, habitat use, homerange size and movementsof adult female and fawn

mule deer.“Our research in south-

west and northwest Ne-braska is an amazingopportunity to obtain in-tensive data on mule deerin areas in close proximityat different densities andexperiencing different en-vironmental conditions,”said Benson. “This infor-mation will allow us to un-derstand the populationdynamics and habitat rela-tionships that result inthese different densities,which will have importantimplications for manage-ment of mule deer in Ne-braska and shouldcontribute broadly to un-derstanding factors thatlimit mule deer popula-tions across their range.”Once captured, the mule

deer does underwent DNAsampling, blood draws,weighing and other meas-urements; an ultrasoundwas used to determinebody condition andwhether the does werepregnant. The does will beclosely monitored thisspring and early summerso newborn fawns can becaptured and collared soonafter they are born.Lance Hastings, south-

west district manager-wildlife division with theCommission said the cap-ture project and other re-search could not happenwithout the support oflandowners who provideaccess for the captures andmonitoring.

Organizing The Food PantryKeeping the food pantry organized saves not only time

but also money. Meals can be prepared more quickly,since food items are easier to see and there is less chanceof buying unnecessary duplicates. The following tips willhelp keep the pantry organized.Organize food into zones to make locating food items

easier. Categories such as baking supplies, snacks andgeneral food storage can help make order out of chaos.Group general food staples that have long shelf lives bytype (fruits, vegetables, soups, etc.) and arrange in rowson the shelf. Shelf risers will make it easier to see theback row of cans.Staples like pasta, rice, flour and sugar can be stored in

large clear plastic or glass containers with labels. Match-ing containers make for a much more organized pantryas opposed to mismatched boxes and bags. Plus, it iseasy to see when supplies are running low.Some food packages are hard to organize, like bags of

chips or small odd size packages. Clear plastic bins workgreat for these type of items. Put like items together andlabel each bin. Baskets can also be used, but they areharder to keep clean.Another great place for extra storage is wall space and

the back of the door. There are a variety of over-the-doorhanging shelf systems that give more storage for cannedfoods or spices. Small shelves can also be hung on un-used wall space. These are especially helpful for addingextra storage in small pantries.To keep the pantry neat and organized, do a weekly

straightening. A good time is right before buying gro-ceries. Discard any stale or old food and straighten theshelves to make room for new groceries. Keep a chalk-board on the inside of the door or a clipboard with a gro-cery list on it to keep track of used grocery items tomake grocery buying easier.

Live Wedding MusicBooking a live band for a

wedding or another specialevent can be a great idea. Theatmosphere live musicianscan provide is unmatched.Live musicians offer a levelof excitement that may not bemet by other musical options.But some couples may findthe prospect of booking liveentertainment a bit challeng-ing, especially if they’venever hired musicians for anevent before. Here are sometips to make the process gosmoothly.• Get recommendations. Just

like you might before book-ing other vendors, seek advicefrom friends or family mem-bers who have recently gottenhitched or had live performersat their events. They mayhave wonderful things to sayabout particular bands or per-formers. Individuals also canconsider a resource such asHireLiveMusicians.com, aglobal musician database thatcan help couples narrowdown their options.• Decide on when the musi-

cians play. Live musicianscan entertain guests through-out the ceremony and recep-

tion, but the longer musiciansplay, the more they’re likelyto cost. Work with musiciansto develop a schedule thatsuits your budget.• Discuss the theme. Make

sure musicians understand thetype of atmosphere you’rehoping to create. A band thatcustomarily plays swing orbig-band era songs may notfit in at weddings with moremodern themes.• Understand the fees. Musi-

cians may have fees related totheir agents, cartage (extragiven to musicians who carrylarge equipment), mileagecosts, travel time, lighting,and other factors that affectthe overall price. Discussthese fees before signing anyagreements. • Be sure the venue fits. Live

musicians are great but not ifthe space is too small. Other-wise, the music can be tooloud and overpowering, or theband will not have adequatespace to set up. Considerthese factors before makingany decisions.

Lex Fire DepartmentCompletes Busy Year

The Lexington Volunteer Fire Department (LVFD) hada very busy year in 2018, according to the department’srecently released annual report.Firefighters answered 682 calls for service that included

92 fires and 591 rescue alarms. Fire units drove 3,616miles with the department’s rescue units logging 3,997miles. This represented an increase of 59 calls from2017.Lift assist to homes and transport calls to assisted living

and local care homes continued to stretch the depart-ment’s manpower, according to the report.LVFD’s 34 volunteers spent over 34,000-man hours

during the year at calls, training, meetings, schools andconferences. That represents roughly 2.75 hours of pub-lic service a day for each firefighter.The need for new volunteers is critical as no new mem-

bers joined the department in 2018, but five memberswere lost that represented many years of service. Re-cruiting continues to be difficult given the large timecommitment required of the volunteers. However, inter-est in the department is renewed this year with six newmembers beginning their time in February.Equipment upgrades include the purchase of a new

2,000-gallon Danko tanker that was placed into servicein January 2018. It was purchased by the LexingtonRural Fire District. The old tanker was sold to the El-wood Volunteer Fire Department and will help with sup-plying water at Johnson Lake if the need arises.In other news 14 members trained at the State Fire

School and several members attended EMS training atvarious classes and locations during the year. All mem-bers completed a minimum of 20 hours training in 2018.One member is currently taking EMT classes in Kearneyand is expected to finish in May.

Nitrogen ManagementForms Due March 31stThe Central Platte Natural Resources District implemented

a nitrogen management program in response to increasinghigh concentrations of nitrate-nitrogen in the groundwaterand vadose zones (areas between root zone/top of watertable) in 1987.High groundwater nitrates in the Central Platte Valley were

first identified in 1961. When the Program started, Nitratelevels had increased 0.5 parts per million (ppm) per year to19.24 ppm, much higher than the maximum contaminantlevel of 10 ppm allowed by the state and federal government.One of the ways the Central Platte NRD is monitoring the

nitrate levels is to require producers to take deep soil samplesand groundwater samples for nitrogen (NO3-N) to submitwith their annual crop reports.Producers in Phases II and III of the Central Platte NRD’s

Groundwater Management Program are required to submittheir annual Nitrogen Management Form online by March31st, 2019. The Crop Reporting Website has user-friendly features.

Each page of the form is auto-saved. UNL’s recommendedNitrogen application rates are visible and adjusted as produc-ers fill out the form, so they are able see the results of eachfertilizer application. The Crop Reporting website address is:cpnrd.gisworkshop.comExcessively high nitrates can lead to methemoglobinemia,

known as “blue baby syndrome” and are also a potential haz-ard to livestock. Commercial nitrogen fertilizer is the primarycause for high nitrates in groundwater in the Central PlatteValley.Nitrate levels have been lowered through long-term man-

agement efforts by the NRD and landowners implementingefficient practices. The plan uses a phased approach, withlesser restrictions in areas that are not high in nitrates and ad-ditional regulations applying to areas with higher nitrate con-centrations in the groundwater.The Central Platte NRD boundaries reach from the Lincoln-

Dawson county line near Gothenburg to Hwy 81 nearColumbus. The District includes all or parts of 11 counties:Dawson, Custer, Buffalo, Hall, Howard, Nance, Merrick,Hamilton, Platte, Polk, and Frontier.

SENIOR GUARD Maguire Bartlett was a key player for the Swedes of Gothenburg with his 11.1 points per game along with over 104 rebounds ripped down.

KELLY NINAS/TRI-CITY TRIBUNE

Swede Cagers Gain Valuable Experience During SeasonThe Swede hoopsters

strong guard play and excellent size in the paint powered Gothenburg’s boys during the 2018-2019 cam-paign.

The Cardinal-clad cagers were able to earn valuable victories during the cam-paign including wins over North Platte St. Pat’s, Cambridge, Centura, Valentine and Ainsworth.

The Gothenburg boys combined to score 47.4 points per contest and dished out 7.3 assists per game.

Offensively, the Swedes shot 38 percent for the sea-son while winning the rebounding battle in most clashes on the hardwood.

On the flipside, Gothenburg forced over 206 steals for the season to key the transition scoring for the Swedes.

Leading the way for the Cardinal-clad hoopsters was Junior guard Maguire Bartlett with a scoring aver-age of 11.1 points per game. Bartlett was able to shoot 38 percent from the field while getting to the charity stripe to sink 63 free

throws for the season. From his guard position, Bartlett was able to snare 4.7 rebounds per contest and hand out over 55 assists in 2018-2019. On the defen-sive, Maguire pilfered 34 steals for the season.

Putting together a great season after coming back from a leg injury, Junior Brody Stienike netted 161 points, good enough to average 7.3 points per game from his guard position. At the charity stripe, Stienike was 30-of-54, good enough for 54 percent from the charity stripe. Showcasing great effort from his guard position, Stienike had 64 total rebounds to go along with his 36 steals this past season.

Doing a great job for cashing in from deep, Junior Conner Baker flexed the net for 6.9 points per game. Baker scored 153 points this past season as he dialed long distance for 35 treys as he shot a notable 34 percent from beyond the arc. Overall, Baker shot 35 percent from the field and 77 percent from the charity stripe. On the flipside,

Baker was the leading theft artist with over 44 steals to his credit for the season.

The ‘Big Man’ in the middle, Josh Olson pros-pered in the paint for the Swedes during his Senior season. Olson was able to 5.5 points per game to go along with his 4.3 caroms per contest. On the offen-sive end, Olson was able to snare 39 rebounds.

On the wing, guard Owen Geiken was a force to be reckoned with during the second half of the sea-son as he averaged over 5.2 points per game as he shot 40 percent from the field while sinking 11-of-18 shot attempts from the charity stripe, good enough for 61 percent overall.

Minutemaids Go On Offensive During 2018-19 Campaign

Led by the play of their backcourt, the Lexington Minutemaids had a notable sea-son during their recent 2018-2019 cam-paign on the hardwood.

During the 2018-2019 season, the Orange and Black-clad hoopsters were able to garner clutch wins over the likes of Gothenburg, Ralston, Cozad, Holdrege, Columbus Lakeview, Broken Bow and McCook. The Minutemaids also earned a fourth place finish in their first Central Conference Tournament.

On the offensive end, the Lexington Minutemen flexed the net with authority to average 38.0 points per contest this past season, despite many role players being baptized by fire, with many of the varsity players cutting their teeth in varsity action. Making the extra pass, the Orange and Black were able to average over eight assists per contest as well. The Minutemen shot 34 percent from the field while sinking 56 percent of their shots attempted from the charity stripe.

Leading the way for the Minutemaids this past season was guard Sarah Treffer with 286 points, good enough for an aver-age of 11 points scored per contest. Treffer was able to not only look for her shot but be one of the primary ball handlers as she disted out 2.3 assists per game during the 2018-2019 season.

Senior guard Courtney Hanson saw lim-ited action this season due to an arm injury that sidelined her for much of the season. Hanson was able to come back and finish with a fury in netting 9.7 points per contest along with 2.7 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game.

Cozad Hoopsters Have Stellar 2018-19 Season

Lighting up the scoreboard and doing their best to stifle opponents, the Haymakers of Cozad were able to put together a memorable 2018-2019 campaign on the hardwood that included a District Runner-Up finish.

The Red and Black were able to post a re-markable season record of 19-7 overall that included a nine game winning streak. The Haymakers were able to record notable victo-ries against the likes of Chase County, Her-shey, Ainsworth, Elm Creek, Broken Bow and McCook.

The Cozad offense combined to score 59.3 points per contest while allowing just 50.9 points per contest to their opponents.

Leading the way for the Haymakers in scoring was forward Kadyn Marhenke with a grand total of 351 points, good enough for an average of 14.6 points per contest. From the field, Marhenke was able to shoot 51 percent while sinking 73 percent of his shot attempts from the charity stripe. Doing an excellent job on the boards, Marhenke ripped down a team leading 6.8 rebounds per game. On the offensive end, Kadyn had 84 caroms, good enough for 3.2 per contest. Marhenke was a tough matchup for opponents with his swing-man style that allows him to prosper in the paint as well as step back on the wing and knock shots down. Displaying great versatili-ty on the defensive end, Kadyn led the Red and Black with 24 blocked shots along with taking nine charges, both team high efforts.

Being a great student to the game, Senior Dillon Geiser is living proof of the ‘work hard and good things happen’ theory. Geiser captained the Haymaker offense for much of the season, as he pushed the ball during fast breaks and understood when the pace needed to be slowed as well. Geiser was able to tick-le the twine for 13.2 points per game as well as get the ball to the open shooters from his point guard position to the tune of a team-leading effort of 4.4 assists per game. Show-ing off that his work in the offseason and in the weight room paid off, Geiser was able to be Cozad’s second leading rebounder with an effort of 5.5 rebounds per contest. Defensive-

ly, Dillon was able to lead the Haymakers with 49 steals, good enough for nearly two steals per game.

Making himself valuable in many different ways, Senior Nate Neil had a memorable season on the hardwood, as he averaged 9.8 points per game for Cozad. Neil was able to flex the net for 44 trifectas while being ‘mon-ey in the bank’ at the charity stripe by shoot-ing 79.6 percent while sinking 39 of 49 at-tempts. From his forward position, Neil was able to rip down 3.8 rebounds per game for the Red and Black.

Blasting onto the scene as a force to be reckoned with was Senior sharpshooter Josh Denney as dialed long distance for a team leading effort of 51 treys while hitting ‘noth-ing but the bottom of the net’ on 38.1 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc. Scoring from deep as well as on the drive, Denney was able to collectively score 9.6 points per game along with shooting 76.7 at the charity stripe. From his guard position, Denney was-n’t afraid to battle with the bigs as he cor-ralled 2.92 rebounds per contest.

Mr. Versatility, Adam Cole had a stellar Senior season that included efforts in the paint as well as playing on the wing. Cole was able to flex the net for 4.8 points per game and 3.4 rebounds per contest during the 2018-2019 season. Cole had 33 steals to con-tribute greatly on the defensive end for Cozad.

FIVE YEARS AGO (2014)

For the first time in 35 years, the Haymakers of Cozad reached the pinnacle of high school basketball at the State Championships. The Cozad cagers clashed with Wayne in the opening round of the C1 Bracket. The Blue Devils were able to score a 60-45 win over the Haymakers. Throughout the first quarter, the mometnum swung back and forth as Cozad led 15-14 at the end of the initial eight minutes of hoops action. During the sec-ond quarter, Wayne was able to dial long distance on four treys on a 13-4 scoring run to enter the break with a 36-22 edge. Haymaker guards Colin Wetovick, Conor Young and Tysen Werner all found the range in an attempt to dent the deficit that had climbed to 20 points in the quarter, as the Red and Black trailed by the count of 46-30 with just eight minutes remaining in regulation. During the fourth quarter, the Haymakers were able to cut the deficit to just seven points, 50-43 with 4:13 to play, but it was Wayne that responded and scored the final points to net the 60-45 decision. Jake Paulsen led Cozad with 14 points and three steals. Conor Young dropped in 12 points to go along with his nine caroms and three steals. Colin Wetovick had a great all-around game with eight points, four rebounds and four assists for Cozad.

10 YEARS AGO (2009)

Eustis/Farnam standouts Katie Fagot and Drew We-tovick were named to the Fort Kearny Conference (FKC) Basketball First Teams. Bailey Mahlberg of Elwood and Eustis/Farnam’s Jacey Schultheiss were un-veiled as second team hon-

orees. Braeden Banzhaf of Elwood was etched on the third team, All-FKC.

Gothenburg guard Jordan Geiken was voted as the MVP of the Southwest Con-ference (SWC) Girls Basket-ball honors squad. Fellow Lady Swede Emily Max also earned first team honors. Cozad’s Carlie Pinkelman and the duo of Tressa Bor-chardt and Brooke Ballmer of Gothenburg were revealed as second and third team se-lections.

15 YEARS AGO (2004)

Gothenburg and Cozad, who shared the regular-sea-son title in the Southwest Conference in girl’s basket-ball, each had four players named to the All-SWC unit. Junior Kiley Peterson and Senior Jamie Gonzalez of Gothenburg were named to the first team, along with Cozad Senior Claire Berreckman. Seniors Sheana Clark and Kim Ack-er of Cozad join Junior Janell Nelson of Gothenburg on the second team. Named to the third team were Sophomore Kaitlyn Peterson of Gothen-burg and Cozad Senior Ash-ley Mathews.

James Davis of Cozad has earned first-team All-South-west Conference in boy’s basketball. Davis is a 6’2” Senior. The Gothenburg duo of Junior Dustin Walker and Senior Adam Aden were named to the second team. Gothenburg had two more players selected to the third team. They are Jordon Folk-ers and Matt Hilderbrand, both seniors.

20 YEARS AGO (1999)

Seven experienced players are included in the Gothen-burg High School golf plan for the 1994 spring season. Coach Jim Henke has 25 candidates reporting, includ-ing seven previous letter

winners. Veterans include Jeff Abele, Josh Jobman, Brandon Kauffman, Joe Richeson, Luke Rickertsen, Jason Viergutz and Isaac Auld.

Three athletes who compet-ed in last year’s Nebraska Class ‘B’ State track and Field Championships have returned for boys action at Gothenburg. Pat Harnan, Derrick Penner and Jordan Clark are the Omaha veter-ans. Coach Steve Reeves has 32 prospects in his plan, in-cluding eight seniors, five juniors, seven sophomores and a dozen freshmen. In ad-dition to Harnan, Penner and Clark, other experienced can-didates include Danny Kreis, Brian Cheetsos, Chris Met-zger, Jeff Pramberg, Javan Ristine and Travis Sheffield.

25 YEARS AGO (1994)

Cozad and Gothenburg were well represented on the All-Southwest Conference boy’s basketball team select-ed by the conference coach-es. Cozad’s Joey Cochran, a year after being named to the second unit, cracked the top unit this time around. Cochran, a senior, averaged 18.4 points per outing for the Haymakers. Jason Ritterbush of Cozad, a junior, earned second-team honors after collecting 15.1 points per game. Gothenburg’s Jeremy Yilk, a junior who averaged 13.7 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, was also named to the second team. Cozad had a pair of players on the third team. Senior Chris Adkisson who scored 7.0 points and grabbed 5.8 rebounds, was named, along with junior Brock Nelson, who scored

There isn’t a person on the face of this planet that doesn’t want to see their best effort be in the spot-light, especially the competitors that challenged for supremacy at the Nebraska State Basketball Championships. Each and every team that punched their ticket to the State Championships earned their position through winning a district crown. The first time in a long time that a team had to win their way to state and not back there way into State with a wild card. The State Basketball Tournament features some of the best prep teams that are participating on the hardwood. The NSAA puts their best foot forward in providing great facilities for the kids to compete for top honors and priceless memories. I have set the stage for the performance to be amazing, but there are a few small problems that have happened time and time again. Don’t get me wrong there are referee’s that have performed at the top of their ability throughout the season and are rewarded with the chance to officiate a state tournament, which is much deserved. What I don’t understand though, is why there are some officials that are considered to be the best at their job of keeping the game in check and calling a near perfect game night in and night out, but they are excluded from adding the experience of working a state tournament to their credentials? Some haven’t officiated for a long enough tenure to qualify, suppos-edly, Others basically have been ‘black-listed’ from ever being chosen to work the State Championships. Why not borrow what works in the sport of Wrestling, let the coaches vote who qualifies to work the State Championships? I realize that there are only so many positions each year that can be filled by officials, but if there isn’t a chance of working a state championship game, why work the season? If the athletes were told they could play all season long if they want but they have no chance to be eligible to win a state championship, how many would still play the games?

Cozad Is Set For Annual Muscle Man Volleyball On Sunday Afternoon

It is National Ag Week in Nebraska, and we are cele-brating our state’s number one industry. This week, the Department of Agriculture and I will be visiting with some of the farm families and ranchers who are building op-portunity in communities across our state and growing the food that helps feed the world.

Nebraska’s dominance in agriculture is reflected in our national rankings. We are number one for cattle on feed, popcorn, and Great Northern Beans. Number two in cattle and calves, ethanol production, and hay production. Number three in corn for grain production and cash receipts from all live-stock and products as well as fourth in cash receipts gener-ated from all farm commodi-ties. And we are fifth for soybean production.

This past year, ag-related projects helped bring home Nebraska’s third consecutive award for the most economic development projects per capita in the nation. For ex-ample, Michael Foods in-vested $150 million at their poultry operation in Bloom-field. Veramaris is investing $200 million in Blair to pro-duce algae oil for other biotechnology projects.

These are just a few exam-ples of how dominant agri-culture is in Nebraska’s economy. You will often hear me say that to grow Ne-braska we must grow agricul-ture. To that end, my team is working on three major prior-ities: Cutting property taxes, expanding trade, and increas-ing value-added livestock production.

Cutting property taxes is my top priority. Over the last four years, the Legislature and I have worked together to increase the amount of direct property tax relief by 60 per-cent. This year, I have three proposals: The first would increase direct property tax relief to $275 million annu-ally, or almost double when I started as Governor. Second, I have recommended setting a minimum floor of $275 million in law for the Prop-erty Tax Credit Relief Fund. Third, I have proposed a cap to limit how much property taxes can go up each year.

Since 1980, property taxes have gone up five percent an-nually. If this cap had been in place, property taxes would be roughly half of what they are today.

As we work on cutting taxes, it is important that we bring rural and urban Ne-braska together to control spending. Some Senators have suggested raising the sales tax, putting new sales taxes in place, or giving more money to local government. These ideas will not ulti-mately solve the problem. These approaches incentivize more spending that has fueled high property taxes for decades. To solve the prob-lem, the Legislature will need to cap property tax increases, provide direct relief, and in-centivize fiscal responsibility.

International trade missions are also key to growing agri-culture. With 95 percent of the world’s population living outside the United States, in-ternational trade missions are key to opening markets for Nebraska’s quality products. Over the last four years, I have led trade missions to Japan twice, China twice, Mexico twice, Canada, and the European Union. I will be leading two more trade missions this year. The re-sults of Nebraska’s work to promote our products can be seen in the numbers. For ex-ample, between 2016 and 2018, beef exports from Ne-braska grew 27 percent and pork exports from Nebraska grew 17 percent. Further-more, we will be pushing for approval of the United States-Canada-Mexico Agreement and the new trade deal Presi-dent Trump has secured with

South Korea. Finally, we must continue

to expand value-added agri-culture. Livestock develop-ment adds value to the billions of bushels of quality grains our farmers produce each year. In 2018, we added six Livestock Friendly Coun-ties, showing the public that these counties support live-stock development and are open for business. Addition-ally, Hall County joined Dodge and Merrick Counties as the third county in the state to adopt the Livestock Siting Assessment Matrix to bring greater predictability to deci-sions on livestock siting ap-plications. These programs help attract great opportuni-ties like the Costco poultry project. Costco investment is helping 125 farm families put up poultry barns, creating op-portunity for the next genera-tion of farmers.

Biofuels also play a critical role in the state’s agriculture industry. Nebraska is the sec-ond-largest producer of ethanol in the country. The synergistic relationship be-tween corn, ethanol, and live-stock encourages the success of all three industries. We are looking forward to a rule from the Environmental Pro-tection Agency by the sum-mer driving season to allow for year-round sales of E15. This will give Nebraska ethanol producers more op-portunities to produce and sell this cheaper and cleaner fuel.

As we continue to grow Nebraska, we will work to grow Nebraska agriculture by cutting property taxes, in-creasing international trade, and expanding opportunities in value-added agriculture.

As a follow-up to the suc-cessful International Trade Town Hall organized by the Lexington Council for Eco-nomic Development (CED) in June 2018, the CED is again hosting another town hall meeting focused on in-ternational trade and its im-pact on the local economy. The meeting is set for 9:30 a.m. Saturday (March 16) at Central Community Col-lege’s facilities at the Oppor-tunity Center in Lexington.

Information will be pre-sented on four key topics, including the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement

(USMCA), ongoing trade negotiations with China, up-coming bilateral trade talks with Japan and the status of steel and aluminum tariffs and their impacts on trade relationships.

Scheduled speaker is Jay Rempe, Nebraska Farm Bu-reau Senior Economist, who will share important Daw-son County economic infor-mation.

Current information re-garding U.S. trade policy and international trade rela-tions has been requested from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and representa-tives have been invited to at-tend from Nebraska’s

Congressional delegation in-cluding the offices of Sena-tors Deb Fischer and Ben Sasse and Congressman Adrian Smith to share any additional trade updates.

According to Earl Linde-man of the CED, interna-tional trade’s impact on the local economy was an im-portant economic issue a year ago and continues to be a major factor impacting all who live, work, or own a business or farm in Dawson County. Information pre-sented at the meeting will cover the importance of in-ternational trade from Daw-son County to destinations around the globe. The meet-ing is open to the public and anyone with an interest in the Lexington area economy is encouraged to attend.

The CED, a non-profit community organization, has been promoting favor-able business and working conditions for residents of Lexington and Dawson County since 1971. Mem-bership includes local businesses, area educa-tional organizations, local governments, government agencies and other entities in Lexington and the sur-rounding area.
