•by Amy Brandt
The regular Arapahoe City
Council meeting was called
to order on Tuesday, March 1,
2016 at 7:30 p.m. by Mayor
John E. Koller. Council members in attendance were Dan
Kreutzer, John Paulsen, Ward
Carpenter, Chris Middagh, and
Todd Monie. Also attending
the meeting were City Clerk
Nicole Kubik, City Superintendent Greg Schievelbein,
City Attorney Kevin Urbom,
Jake Deaver, John Tangeman,
Tom Houston and Erick and
Miranda Lee. Mayor Koller
made everyone aware of the
Open Meeting Act.
North Subdivision
Houston spoke about needs
within the community to be
developed, specifically housing. Regarding the North
Subdivision, he recommends
a new name for it to help with
marketing. He also recommended an amendment which
incorporates the subdivision
into the comprehensive plan as
a whole. Houston was not confident that the base valuation
is correct, and would like to
be be looked at more closely.
He continued that there will be
trade-offs in the project for the
first 15 years or so.
He reported they predict 14
homes at $200,000 per home
with the projected differential
being $2.3 million for the city.
The plan amendment allows
each house to be treated as it’s
own redevelopment project,
which allows more flexibility
with timing.
Cost of the infrastructure
is approximately $750,000,
capturing approximately
$42,000 per year to help pay
for cost of infrastructure. The
City of Arapahoe is obligated
to proceed with infrastructure
necessary for subdivision and
file plat. The approximate
street cost is $310,000, sewer
is $580,000, and $750,000 total with a built-in contingency
and the approximate street
completion would be June or
July 2017.
The City of Arapahoe
would capture approximately
$500,000 over the course of 15
years. Buyers of the lots would
receive a $20,000 subsidy if
the lot is purchased in the first
two years with the subsidy
then declining.
Houston said one way to
tell if there is interest is to
complete purchase agreements
after the plat is filed, more
purchase agreements signed
equals more interest. Buyers
will be required to start and
complete construction in a
certain time frame, must pay
taxes on time, and there will be
protective covenants to make
sure homes are similar in size/
amenities/materials, etc.
The city will be able to
recapture complete TIF monies
in 14-15 years on each house,
even though they won’t be
completed at the same time.
The source of the $20,000
subsidy would be LB840. The
city is not going to be able to
get any bids this year because
contractors are all booked, but
will need to set completion
date for paving in June or July
2017. Houston recommends
getting bids as soon as possible to make sure the bids are
in line with projections before
proceeding much further.
The Council approved the
CRA Resolution 2016-04

Plan, Resolution 2016-15 to

The Lower Republican
Natural Resources District
(LRNRD) is pleased to announce it will continue the soil
moisture sensor program for
2016.
The LRNRD has been
implementing its soil moisture sensor program on an
ongoing basis since 2010 in
partnership initially with the
NRCS Cooperative Conservation Partnership Initiative and
subsequently with the Nebraska Environmental Trust.
Currently over 95,000 acres
in the district are utilizing
moisture sensors as a result of
the LRNRD program. Sensors
and data loggers are currently
being provided under the program at no cost to irrigators
who agree to install and use
the equipment for a minimum
of five years.
The technology to be
provided has been shown
in testing conducted by the
University of Nebraska in collaboration with the Nebraska
Corn Board to save at least
1-2 inches of water per acre
and sometimes up to 4 inches
per acre annually in irrigated
fields, with no negative and
sometimes positive impacts on
yields.
Soil moisture sensors
work by enabling irrigators
to measure soil moisture at
plant root depth rather than
only at the surface, where the
traditional “hand feel” method
of measurement can result
in overwatering, leading to
wasted resources and reduced
yields.
Irrigators interested in obtaining and using soil moisture
sensors under the program
should contact your County
NRCS office or the LRNRD at
308-928-2182. The LRNRD
urges irrigators to act quickly
while the program is in place
in order to be able to take full
advantage of the available
funding.

Rumors of the closure of
Arapahoe Floral & Gifts have
been flying around town recently, and now it has officially
been confirmed that the business has been sold.
Glenda Schutz, who also
co-owns and manages Hemelstrand’s, has owned the local
floral shop for the last eight
years.
“I am so happy to announce
that Kristi and Marlin Wendland have purchased Arapahoe
Floral,” she says. “My last day
is March 10th and it will open
under new ownership Friday,
March 11th. I want to thank
all the people who have been
such loyal customers for the
past eight years. I have enjoyed
working with all of you and
I think the town of Arapahoe
should feel very fortunate that
we will continue to have a floral shop on main street. I wish
Kristi all the best in her new
venture.”
When asked what motivated
her and her husband to buy the
floral shop, Wendland said they
didn’t want it to close because
it’s a fixture on main street and
the town needs it. She doesn’t
intend to make any drastic
changes to the business, at
least for a while. “I’ll need to
get my feet under me before I
can even think about that!” she
laughs.
Wendland says that throughout the transition the community support for her and
her husband has been wonderful. People have been very
expressive of how glad they
are that the business is not
closing. The awesome amount
of community support has
helped quash any doubts and
insecurities that she had about
purchasing the business. She
wants the whole community
to know how much she greatly
appreciates everything and she
is excited to serve the community in this new venture.

taking over ownership and management of Arapahoe Floral

Property tax debate continues as session winds down
Capitol View
By J.L. Schmidt
Statehouse Correspondent
The Nebraska Press
Association
Plans to cap annual increases in statewide agricultural land
valuation have won the support
of Governor Pete Ricketts but
brought opposition from some
municipalities and appears to
have created mixed reaction
among farm groups.
All this as lawmakers try
to solve a decades-old property
tax problem in a short session.
It’s a daunting task at best, but
an impossible one with a Legislature more prone to quibbling
than cooperating.
Grand Island Senator Mike
Gloor introduced the 3 percent
cap for the governor in LB958.
The measure would affect aggregate agricultural and horticultural land valuation increases and tighten spending limits
on local governments to slow
property tax growth. Gloor said
the intent is to slow down the
valuation increase and slow the
growth of locally levied taxes.
Gloor’s bill would remove
some exclusions from levy and
budget limits, including the
ability of a political subdivision—other than schools—to
approve a levy in excess of
its limit during a meeting in
which more than 10 percent
of the subdivision’s registered

The deadline has now
passed for anyone to file as
a candidate in the upcoming
elections.
Those that filed for Arapahoe’s East Ward are incumbents Dan Kreutzer and Troy
tenBensel. Erick Lee has also
filed. There are two positions
to be filled.
Incumbent, John Paulsen,
filed for Arapahoe’s West

voters are present. The use of
restricted funds for capital improvements, sinking funds and
inter-local agreements would
also be limited to the 3 percent
cap in 2017.
There appears to be no argument with the 2013 Tax Modernization Committee, a joint
interim study of the Revenue
and Education Committees that
Nebraska relies too heavily on
property taxes to fund K-12
education. The disagreement
comes in finding a way to fund
education and lower property
taxes. Gloor said his plan could
result in a variety of increases
or decreases in property valuation assessments.
Ricketts testified in support
of the bill with the understanding that any property tax relief
plan must include limits on local government spending.
Steve Nelson, president of
the Nebraska Farm Bureau said
he supports the bill because
Nebraska farmers and ranchers
pay a disproportionate amount
of property taxes compared
to residential and commercial
property owners. Nebraska
Farmers Union President John
Hansen spoke in opposition to
the bill saying the 3 percent assessment limit could result in
an overcorrection of agricultural land valuations over the next
10 to 15 years.
Lincoln Mayor Chris Beutler
opposed the bill saying spending limits would devastate
some political subdivisions by
removing budget flexibility.
LaVista Mayor Doug Kindig
spoke against the bill because
of the imposed limitations on
interlocal agreements, which
have allowed his city to grow.
Nebraska Association of County Officials President Robert
Post opposed the bill because
limits on sinking funds would
prevent counties from making
unforeseen but necessary purchases of equipment without
going to a popular vote, which
takes time and money.
The Revenue Committee
is also considering a couple of
stop-gap measures that could
be implemented in case lawmakers do not agree to a more
permanent solution. Wahoo
Senator Jerry Johnson’s bill
(LB940) would freeze valuations on all classes of property
for three years at their 2016
levels unless lawmakers pass
a law to reduce the percentage of school funding provided
by property taxes. Tax credits

would remain the same during
the freeze and political subdivisions could increase their levy
limits only if the state budget
grows.
If there is still no law in place
at the end of the freeze, assessed
values would increase by the
same percentage as the increase
in the state budget from year
to year. If there is no reform
in place before the end of the
stabilization period, assessed
values would increase by the
same percentage as the increase
in the state budget from one fiscal year to the next. Johnson
said he hopes the stabilization
period would give lawmakers
time to pass comprehensive tax
reform that would reduce the
dependence on property taxes
to fund public education.
Nebraska Farm Bureau
Federation spokesman Bruce
Rieker said he supports the bill
because it would create an incentive for the Legislature to
change the state’s property tax
policy before the end of the
stabilization period. Nebraska
Association of County Officials Executive Director Larry
Dix said he is against the bill
because it doesn’t consider
land use changes during the
stabilization period Senator
Mike Groene of North Platte
has proposed a one-year freeze
(LB717) and a requirement that
assessors use a five-year comparable sale history instead of
the current three-year formula.
These appear to be good
ideas. But none will be the
hoped-for panacea without the
necessary study, debate and
compromise that is clearly not
possible in a short legislative
session.
•Senator Dan Hughes, District 44
Several important and noteworthy
bills
were advanced
or stopped this
past week. I am
glad that LB 710,
the bill which I
introduced to protect younger
Nebraskans from hazing, was
advanced unanimously by the
Legislature from General to
Select File.
LR 378 CA, a resolution by
Senator John Kuehn of Heartwell, would place a question on
this November’s ballot to add
an amendment to the Nebraska
state constitution recognizing and protecting our right to
farm. The resolution was advanced out of the Agriculture
Committee on Monday, and,
as Senator Kuehn’s priority
bill, will now be debated by the
whole body of the Legislature
in coming weeks.
A long-standing discussion
about how Nebraska allocates
its electoral votes is once again
happening in the Unicameral. Nebraska is one of only
two states, along with Maine,
which divides its Electoral
College votes for presidential
elections. Our five votes are
divided as follows: two votes
go to the winner of the popular vote in the state, and the
winner of the popular vote in
each of our three congressional districts gets one vote. LB
10, by Senator Beau McCoy of
Omaha, was debated for eight
hours in 2015 and passed from
General to Select file. But its
progress was halted when a
motion to invoke cloture failed.
However, Senator Hilkemann,
also from Omaha, has made it
his priority bill for this session,
meaning that it will now return
to the floor on Select File, with
two rounds of debate to go before passage.
A bill to allow assisted suicide, introduced by Senator Ernie Chambers, stalled out in the
Judiciary committee this past
week, after a motion to move
it out of committee came up
against a 4-4 vote. A piece of good news with
regard to Nebraska’s budget is
that the Revenue Forecasting
Board met again in February
and raised revenue projections
for the current and upcoming
fiscal years. In contrast to a less
optimistic outlook the Legislature had been expecting at the
outset of the session, the new
estimate means an additional
boost for the emergency cash
reserve fund.

the Nebraskans I represent.

Tri Valley Health
System earns ACR
accreditation
Tri Valley Health System has
been awarded a three-year term
of accreditation in mammography as the result of a recent review by the American College
of Radiology (ACR). It has
also passed its annual Mammography Quality Standards
Act inspection by the FDA
with no deficiencies. Mammography is a specific type of
imaging test that uses a lowdose X-ray system to examine breasts. A mammography
exam, called a mammogram,
is used to aid in the early detection and diagnosis of breast
diseases in women.
The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and
patient safety. It is awarded
only to facilities meeting ACR
Practice Parameters and Technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical
physicists who are experts in
the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment,
quality control procedures and
quality assurance programs are
assessed. The findings are reported to the ACR Committee
on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice
with a comprehensive report
that can be used for continuous
practice improvement.

Carpets provide both practical and aesthetic appeal inside
a home. In winter, carpets help
keep homes warm, and the right
color carpet can add to design
schemes.
Carpeting remains a go-to
flooring
material
in modern
homes. In
fact, many
homes offer a blend
of
both
carpeting
in some
rooms and
different flooring choices in
others.
Upon choosing carpet, it is
important that homeowners follow some guidelines to prolong
a carpet’s longevity and maintain its style. The following are
some common carpeting dos
and don’ts.
DO consider the room’s
purpose and foot traffic before
shopping for carpeting. Make
a list of the attributes desired
(e.g., soundproofing, easy care,
high pile) and present these to
the salesperson so he or she can
help you make the best choice.
DON’T rush into flooring
choices. Unlike paint colors,
flooring materials are more permanent choices that are only
updated every several years or
more. Weigh all of your options
before diving in.
DO consider conservative
colors and styles. Neutral hues
and patterns will blend better
with furniture options. This
means you can change furniture
out and still keep the existing
carpeting, which complements
any new pieces. Also, if there’s
a chance you might sell your
home in the near future, buyers
tend to look for a neutral color
scheme they can make their
own.
DON’T skimp on padding to
save a few dollars on the carpet installation. The
carpeting
needs
a
solid foundation to
last
and
look
its
best. Inadequate
padding
can lead to extra and noticeable wear and tear. Invest in a
good foundation for the carpeting, like firm, dense padding in
high-traffic areas.
DO become knowledgeable
about different carpet styles,
such as frieze, Berber, Saxony,
textured, and more. This will
help ensure you make the most
educated decision.
DON’T purchase at the first
store you visit. Shop around
to investigate different pricing
and specials. Also, consider the
professionalism and expertise
of the staff responsible for carpet installation. High-cost carpet may not look very good if it
isn’t installed correctly.
DO stain-protect rugs and
carpeting, which can help repel
stains that would otherwise become permanent and can prolong the longevity of the flooring.
DON’T forget to vacuum
carpets frequently to prevent
ground-in dirt and debris.
DO pick textured carpets to
conceal footprints and vacuum
track marks.
Find and maintain the right carpet for you

Methodist youth preparing for confirmation
•by Amy Brandt
This is a special time of year
for Christians as the various
denominations prepare for
their Lent and Easter celebrations. For Methodists, now is
also the time for students to
finish preparing for Confirmation. Becky Saddler, the pastor
of Arapahoe’s First United
Methodist Church, was gracious enough to answer a few
questions about Confirmation.
“Confirmation is a time of personal decision,” she explains.
Many of the students were
baptized as infants, so Confirmation is viewed as a time for
them to reaffirm those vows
and become full members of
the church. For any students
who weren’t baptized as infants, now is a time for them to
learn about baptism and decide
if it’s a commitment they want
to make on their own.
So, what is the purpose of
Confirmation? “It is a time
to learn about our church, the
entire church community and
what it means to be a faithful
Christian. It is a time to learn
the privileges and responsibilities of church membership. It
is the beginning of the adventure of faith,” says Saddler.
Here in Arapahoe Confirmation classes are held twice
a week starting the first of
September and running until
Confirmation on Palm Sunday,
with a couple of breaks at
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The class is for students in
grades 6 through 8, and each
student has a mentor. The
mentor makes sure the student
stays on track and motivated to
get their lessons and homework done. The children study
a Confirmation book and the
Bible, and have other resource
books at their disposal. Pastor
Saddler teaches the Wednesday
class, Dallas Garey teaches the
Sunday class, and George Probasco fills in whenever Pastor
Saddler has to be gone.
To be confirmed students
must first pass a test. “They
need to learn the Ten Com-
mandments, the Apostle’s
Creed, the Lord’s prayer,
memorize a life verse for
each of them, the books of the
Bible, learn who God, Jesus
and the Holy Spirit are, study
our two sacraments, learn what
it means to walk the Christian
walk daily and be representatives of Jesus Christ plus so
much more.”
That’s not to say that it’s all
work and no fun, though. “We
also take field trips,” says Saddler. “We went to the funeral
home, we went to the Christian
Church in Edison to view a
baptistery and we are going to
a Jewish synagogue in Lincoln
in April. We want to expose
them to as many experiences
as we can during this time.”
The Confirmation ceremony
itself quizzes the students on
their lessons and their life
verse and what it means to
them. They are also responsible for leading worship that
day, picking the music and
helping serve communion.
“It is really a celebration for
them.”

Easter is a wonderful time of year. It is the beginning
of spring, new life, new hope and most of all remembering just what our Savior Jesus Christ has done for
us. However, all of these are daily events; each day we
are given the opportunity to experience new hope with
the remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.
This month our church is memorizing Mark 16:6:
but the angel said, “Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn’t
here! He is risen from the
dead! Look, this is where
they laid his body. NLT
Why? Because this is the
amazing part of the Easter
story; Jesus is NOT dead,
He risen!
That promise is our new
hope each and every day.
We are given the assurance that Jesus paid the price
for our sins so we can enter Heaven when we die as
long as we believe and accept Him as our Savior. I
don’t know about you, but that Promise is amazing!
As we come together to celebrate Easter let’s remember it is about so much more than eggs, bunnies
and new clothes. Jesus have given us new life, new
Confirmands enjoy their time each week with their mentor and the pastor. Shown above hope and a reason to celebrate!

On March 6, 2016, members
of the Arapahoe Fire and
Rescue Department met for
training. They were “paged”
to a simulated structure
fire. The initial attack crew
experienced
ceiling collapse leaving one fireman
trapped inside. The Rapid
Intervention Team (RIT) then
entered the structure and
rescued the down fireman.
The group worked well as a
team. Members participating in the training exercises
were: Todd Monie, Arlan
Leising, Brian Sisson, Frank
Leising, Brandon Yeager,
Josh Schrock, Chuck Collins, Wendell Hoefs, Brad
Loghry and David Holcomb.

student to fill-in with answers
of what he/she learned.
Share speaker details (information presented, dates
and times)
Megan and Karme shared
details about the K-6 speakers which include Sheriff
Kurt Kapperman, volunteer
firefighter Chuck Collins, and
a speaker from McCook’s
DASAS. Speaker details for

Other Items to Wrap-Up
Safety Week Planning…...
No volunteers are needed
for the week since the outside
speakers and teachers are presenting all information this
year.
All lesson plans, content,
activities and/or speaker info
due should be emailed to Bob
as soon as possible.
The group will no longer
need a fundraiser for the
social media/internet safety
speaker due to the generosity of school administration
to cover all expenses for the
speaker from Karen Haase’s
office. It was recommended by
Superintendent Charles Curnyn
to- instead -spend some of
the group money on the kids.
Shayla Hill shared some
items she found for sale online including good manners
bookmarks and good character
bracelets. It was approved to
purchase the bookmarks and
bracelets to send home with
the K-6 students as a way to remember the important lessons
from the week. The group
expressed their gratitude to
the school administrators for
covering all costs for the
7-12 speaker including event
costs and mileage from Lincoln.
Soncksen proposed that we
compose a mission statement
for our group; the rest of the
members approved. Discussion was held about how this
might help community members better understand our
purpose and hopefully join
our cause. This will be done
at a later date.
RayAnn Roskop reported
that she spent quite a while
researching the Helping Hands
program but could not find any
current information about the
program or proof that it is still
in existence. She stated she
also looked for any similar
programs currently being used
by communities but could find
nothing. The group thanked
her for her efforts.
An announcement was made
reminding members about the
upcoming community meeting
concerning the school building on Monday, February
29th.
ACTION ITEMS:
1. Turn in lesson plans and
materials for safety week.
2. Contact speakers about
material needed if have not.
3. Email Braithwait Safety
Week websites for April Newsletter.
4. Create an outline for
Safety Week to send home to
parents.
The next meeting is set for
April 3rd, 2016 at 7 p.m.
Proposed Agenda Items:
1. Prepare a mission statement as a group defining our
purpose.
2. Go over feedback and
comments from Safety Week
