Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. This two-act play is drawn from the life and letters of Ann Landers. The play is a smile-inducing, tear-duct activating reunion with a woman who might have been a stranger but seemed like family. The Lady with All the Answers is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York. The Plainview Arts Council brings the Nebraska Theatre Caravan production to the community with the support of the Nebraska Arts Council and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment. The public is invited to attend with tickets available at the door. Adults tickets are $6.00 and student tickets are $3.00. Plainview Arts Council members will be admitted free of charge with their season ticket. Agriculture machinery tax exemption passed into law Hunter Education graduates 20... The 2014 Plainview Hunter Education class came to a close on Tuesday evening with 20 students graduating from this year’s certification program. The class was led by Lead Instructor Bruce Curtiss, Troy Johnston, Tom Novicki and Cal Fluckey and included classmates (not in order for picture): Jozlyn Anderson, Brooke Arey, Bryce Davis, Troy Donner, Emily Fischer, Vincent Heldoorn, Jaxson Hoffman, Ashlyn Ickler, Peyton Lingenfelter, Carissa Neuhaus, Matthew Oltjenbruns, Katie Peatrowsky, Colin Springer, Lyn Stec, Jessica Stevens, Kendyll Tiedtke, Jody Viterna, Robyn Werner, Lisa Wiese and Luella Hodson. Class members came from numerous communities including Plainview, Creighton, Osmond, Norfolk and Pierce to take the class. LB 96, passed by the Unicameral in April 2014, provides a sales and use tax exemption for repair and replacement parts used to repair agricultural machinery and equipment. This sales tax exemption becomes effective October 1, 2014. The farmer or rancher purchasing eligible repair and replacement parts must issue a properly completed Nebraska Resale or Exempt Sale Certificate, Form 13, Section B, exempt category 2, to the seller to exempt the purchase from sales tax. The Nebraska Department of Revenue has updated the “Nebraska Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Sales Tax Exemption” information guide to incorporate the changes made by LB 96. In addition, the Ne- braska Resale and Exempt Sale Certificate, Form 13, has been updated to identify the exemption for repair and replacement parts used to repair agricultural machinery and equipment. Farmers or ranchers who paid sales tax on depreciable repair and replacement parts for agricultural machinery and equipment used in commercial agriculture prior to October 1, 2014, may obtain a refund of the tax paid by filing a Nebraska Sales and Use Tax Refund Claim, Form 7AG-1. The Department will continue to accept refund claims for tax paid on depreciable repair and replacement parts as long as the refund claims are filed within three years after the date of purchase. Nelson, Young concert draws 8,000 to Antelope County By: Kathy Gotschall In the corner of a cornfield north of Neligh, Neb., country music legends Willie Nelson and Neil Young performed on Saturday to a sold-out crowd of roughly 8,000. Concert goers were seated on hay bales, lawn chairs and blankets for the afternoon of entertainment around a stage framed by giant cottonwood trees. The concert was held on approximately 26-acres of farmland which was planted to corn, and harvested early so it could be used for the parking lot, stage, beer garden, vendor site, teepee village and secondary stage for the event. Art and Helen Tanderup hosted the event on their 160 acre family farm which is eight miles north and one mile west of Neligh, and lies on the path of the proposed pipeline and at a Native American Trail of Tears crossing. The Tanderups, and approximately 100 other landowners, have formed the Cowboy and Indian Alliance, a collective united with a common goal to stand opposing the threat against their land and clean water. They refuse to sign easement contracts with TransCanada, the corporation promoting the controversial 1,179 mile crude-oil pipeline. Tickets to the event sold for $50 each. Proceeds, after expenses, were pledged to help fund pipeline opponents: Bold Nebraska; the Indigenous Environmental Network; and the Cowboy and Indian Alliance. The coalitions have united in the fight against the Keystone XL pipeline. Other performers at the “Harvest the Hope” concert were Lucas Nelson and Promise of the Real with Micah Nelson (Nelson’s sons); Native American musician Frank Waln from Rosebud, South Dakota; and “Stopping the Pipeline Rocks AllStars,” who are a group of Nebraska musicians who teamed up to record an album to benefit the anti-Keystone XL cause. Activists and politicians spoke to the crowd between performances about climate change, clean, renewable energy solutions, and corporate On the left is Randy Thompson, one of the plaintiff landowners in the Eminent Domain Lawsuit.

Native American leaders have pledged to take whatever steps necessary to stop the pipeline from crossing sacred lands. Nelson and Young both played sets of their familiar tunes including Young’s “Who’s Gonna Stand Up” which he wrote about the pipeline fight. The two performed one special number together - an anti-pipeline rendition of the classic Woody Guthrie folk song “This Land Is Your Land” with lyrics written by Nebraskan Jim Pipher. At the end of the day, audience members formed a three-deep human chain across the path where Tran- sCanada intends to bury a 36-inch diameter pipe. Pipeline fighters said they hope the support of the two Rock and Roll Hall of Famers will take their message further than ever before, especially in light of the regional and national coverage received by the concert with reporters from Rolling Stone, Neligh News Leader, New York Times, Lincoln Journal Star, Omaha World Herald, and The Atkinson Graphic all present. There were also several television station reporters at the event. ——The Keystone XL tar sands oil transportation pipeline would cross an international border between Canada and the United States, there- Roughly 8,000 concert goers came to rural Neligh, Nebraska for the Harvest the Hope concert, featuring headliners Willie Nelson and Neil Young.

WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED Read by more than 5,000 readers weekly! 2 Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press . . . – The First Amendment Opinion The Plainview News Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2014 Ag products in Nebraska are in high demand for local craft breweries Babbling Brook Julia Jackson Nebraska News Service The importance of being pica It took me quite a while in my “professional” life to realize that there is sometimes more than one way to do something. Take, for instance, measurements. The United States uses inches, most of the rest of the world uses centimeters. We use miles, others use kilometers. I’ve heard of liters, but we use gallons. And in the printing industry, we use the “pica.” There’s a whole backstory to the measurement known as the pica, and its smaller counterpart, the point. And it all makes really good sense once you’re considering paper, sizes of lettering, “leading” or the space between lines and a host of other “jargon” included in the printing industry. It makes a lot of sense, however – that there are six picas in an “inch,” and 12 points in a pica. When you start considering fonts and font sizes, that’s where the “point” part came from, the height in “points” is now what you pick while typing something in Word. My favorite use of the pica is when measuring sizes of paper and trying to locate the correct measurement to fold a piece of paper. A normal-sized piece of regular paper is 8.5 inches wide and 11 inches tall – not exactly easily divisible numbers for determining where to fold the paper down so its “exactly” in half or thirds. In fact, 5.5 inches isn’t too bad, but you’re already into a fraction, and when using machinery that’s 40 years old, there isn’t much “exactness” to be had any longer. On the contrast, a piece of paper in picas is 51 picas wide and 66 picas tall. The width really isn’t too much better, but 33 picas for half and 22 picas for a third and 16.5 for fourths if you’re really getting crazy. Using our current measurement system – or “imperial” system, if you’re so inclined – you’re looking at a third of a sheet of paper as 3 (and a little more than) 5/8. Not really easy to set a machine driven cutter to. Learning the new system, in terms of newspaper management and measurement was a great asset in this case, even if the system is antiquated and we don’t use galleys to lay out lead-set type anymore, the measurement system still works great. The same could be said for a number of considerations, as our current education system is quickly approaching yet again. Small classes, big classes, travel time, in-house, teachers from other communities, teachers in the school’s communities, tradition, new ideas, visual, tactile, color coding or manual or digital all come into play. At the end of the day – things get measured. But there are instances in which each type – imperial or typography centered – that make the most sense for the context you’re looking at them with. Picas are actually 1/72 of a foot, the very system that generated the entire paradigm. I’m normally all for testing out new systems – but you have to be willing to know when to cut off a loser. “You gotta know when to hold ‘em, and know when to fold ‘em” – as the great Kenny Rogers would say, or sing. Vision and motivation, and discussions upon discussions heap themselves onto the process that, in the end, needs a decision made and progress forwarded, the hard part…is accepting the consequences and cutting the dead weight away once you realize its dragging you down or backward. The November vote is approaching, make sure you’re able to make reasonable decisions before it arrives. LINCOLN—Craft breweries and distilleries in Nebraska are pushing for more agricultural products that can be bought locally. Several Nebraska agricultural producers and craft beer makers gathered Friday to testify for an interim study before the Legislature’s General Affairs and Agriculture committees in favor of the benefits of producing and using Nebraska agricultural products in breweries and distilleries. Hops, barley and wheat are among the products in high demand for the growing craft brewery industry in Nebraska. Stephen Baenziger, an agronomy professor at the University of NebraskaLincoln, said the production of barley in Nebraska can be used for human and animal consumption as well as a craft beer ingredient. Baenziger said that the benefit to local farmers is that craft breweries are more lenient when it comes to barley production. “When you’re working with a craft brewer, they’re much more creative with their batches. They’ll work with people.” By “working with people,” Baenziger means the standards a craft brewery operates under when accepting farmers’ batches. Baenziger said that big breweries look for consistency in batches - a specific, uniform crop across the board. Craft breweries can take a more diversified batch of barley and find ways to use it in different styles of beer. For farmers, the advantage lies in being able to sell a portion of the batch rather than having an entire batch rejected by a bigger company for lack of consistency. Brian Podwinski of Lincoln, Blue Blood Brewing founder, spoke on behalf of Nebraska Malt, a group working to bring Nebraska agriculture into the forefront of the brewing industry. Podwinski said he hopes more barley can be produced to meet the growing demands of the craft beer makers. To do that, Podwinski said the farmers have to be a priority for the brewing industry. For Nebraska Malt, that comes down to making sure farmers are able to sell their entire crop, even if it isn’t up to craft beer production grade. Nebraska Malt wants to be able to distribute the unapproved crop, most likely by selling it as feed. Podwinski said this would take the pressure off of farmers to sell their product on their own because Nebraska Malt could distribute the leftover crop. “We’re trying to take care of the growers to make sure we have growers,” Podwinski said. He said that if brewers want to keep farmers growing barley, they have to ensure that the farmers are getting the benefits of selling it over commodities like corn and soybeans. Empyrean Brewing Company operations manager Jim Engelbart of Lincoln also testified in favor of locally grown products in craft beer production. Engelbart said he was surprised about the lack of barley production in Nebraska. “The demand is definitely there,” he said. But for Engelbart and other craft beer producers, the market isn’t as big as they would like. Part of this is farmer’s lack of understanding of the crop and the industry’s demands for it. Scott Kinkaid, an agricultural producer in northeast Nebraska, said the farming industry has changed from what it was when he was younger, but hop production could prove beneficial to farmers. “It’s something that, I think, offers a great deal of potential,” Kinkaid said. “I think we have a lot to learn.” Kinkaid said he sees hop production as not only beneficial to the craft brewery market, but as a way to sustain farming families. “I see the hops as something that could really benefit families with kids as a way to go out and earn money,” Kinkaid said. Moreover, Shad Rhynalds of Rhynalds Hops Growers in Prague is a model for the kinds of industries brewing companies want to see more of in Nebraska. Rhynalds Hops supplies hops to multiple brewing companies in Nebraska such as Empyrean Brewing, Upstream, Zipline and others. Rhynalds said there are multiple benefits to growing locally and having local breweries buy locally. “The product is fresh and brewers can physically see where and how their hops are growing,” Rhynalds said. Rhynalds agreed with Engelbart that demand exceeds supply. “We have proven we can successfully grow hops in Nebraska and there are multiple markets for their use,” Rhynalds said. “A Special Place” 710 Main Street • Creighton, Neb.

At the present time, the biggest downfall of our current library is not being handicapped accessible. The library has many steps – not only on the outside of the building, but also the inside. We have many people in our community who cannot use the library for this fact alone – they cannot get into the building! Have you checked out the floor plan for the new library? No steps to access the library! Everyone will be welcome! There’s plenty of space to relax and do some casual reading or enjoy a game of scrabble with friends. The library will be able to offer an attractive and enticing display of magazines and books. For those who use the library computers, it won’t be nearly so crowded! Libraries are essential in a process of giving citizens access to knowledge. In digital times they are needed more than ever before. Get your library card and you’ll be able to borrow an electronic book through our Overdrive program, use the free internet, or even get help to improve your digital skills! Yes, our Plainview library offers all of the above! When was the last time you visited or used our local library? Stop by and visit with Donna or LaJean, our library directors.

The cemetery was mowed and well-kept, the Klown Museum was fantastic and the restaurant at the Legion Club as so nice – good food and super service. I was impressed!

Sarah Watson had her score of 146 not used in the team scoring. However, this was a personal best 18-hole score for Watson. She was hampered on the front nine, as she did not have her contacts until the back nine. With them, Watson was able to have only one double-digit hole as she improved eight strokes on the back nine. In reserve action, Jordyn Betts received the runner-up medal with 7262 for 134. Betts, for various reasons, has not played a lot competitively this season. “If Jordyn can continue to shoot well, she could still help the team in the three matches that are left this season,” said Knaak. Jaydin Doerr also played in reserve action and finished with 84-80. “These were some of Jaydin’s better rounds as she continues to improve at a game that was totally foreign to her at the start of the season,” said Knaak. Doerr is determined to put in the time in the off-season to improve tremendously when she returns for her second season of golf. Sharyn Sheppard was unable to compete at the meet as she had an unexpected conflict arise. The season is drawing to a close as there are two meets left before Districts on October 6 at Fair Play Golf Course in Norfolk. Laurel Invite The second-annual tournament between the five-schools from the former NENAC Conference that have a golf team was held at Laurel this year on September 27. Crofton won the meet with 436, while Plainview finished in third with 462. Stephanie Sorensen received the third-place medal with a 96. Sorensen started the meet with a par on two of the first three holes, but was unable to accomplish this again on the front and shot a 52. She started the back nine with a birdie and ended with a par on the back, leading to a 44. Morgan Hampton started off slowly on her first three holes, but recovered by having two pars in her finishing six holes to shoot a 54. Hampton was on pace to shoot another good round, said Coach Larry Knaak, but a double-digit score on a par five did her in, and she ended with a 60. However, this was still good enough for the 10th-place medal. Matti Watson shot a 58 on the front that had been fairly standard, as she had never seen these courses before. Watson usually scores strokes lower on the back nine, said Knaak, but she was denied this and shot a 59 on the back. Heidi Nelson shot a personal best 18-hole score of 135, as she was able to shoot a 69 on the front. Nelson then matched her personal best nine-hole score of 66 on the back.

This is the largest meet that the team participates in during the season. “We didn’t fare very well, finishing 13th out of the 19 teams at the meet,” said Coach Larry Knaak. Columbus Scotus won the meet with 391, and Battle Creek was second with 401. Plainview had 488, higher than they have been for “some time,” said Knaak. Stephanie Sorensen finished in third with an 89. She was tied for eighth with several girls after the front nine was finished with a 48. She then shot the low round of the tournament of 41 on the back nine to overtake everyone but the two front nine leaders. Morgan Hampton had two rounds of 61. “Morgan had several good holes, but was hampered by a very slow group ahead of her group that disrupted her rhythm,” said Knaak. Matti Watson struggled on both of her rounds, said Knaak. She shot rounds of 62 and 65. “Both Morgan and Matti have been able to lower their back nine scores after seeing the course,” said Knaak. “Since Wayne is an 18-hole course, they did not have that luxury today.” Heidi Nelson finished the team scoring with 150. Nelson’s short game gave her problems, said Knaak, as she was unable to adjust to the different speed of the greens. • Friday, October 3 Picture Retakes, Plainview Elementary Dance, Cross Country, Girl’s Golf Parent Night Football with Creighton, here, 7 p.m. Sunday, October 5 Sunday Dance, American Legion Club, 2 p.m. 3 Cross Country runs in Crofton Invite HOME/RENTER’S Thursday, October 2 Chamber General Meeting, McGrew Q, noon Zion Ladies Aid, Zion Church, 1:30 p.m. Plainview United Methodist Women, Executive meeting, 1:30 p.m.; General meeting 2 p.m. Cross Country, Stanton, 4 p.m. Golf Dual with O’Neill, here, 4 p.m. Volleyball with Hartington, here, 5:30 p.m. Handi-Van Board, City Office, 5:45 p.m. AA meeting, St. Paul’s Catholic Church basement, 8 p.m. Girls Golf struggles in Wayne; fares better at the Laurel Invite • (402) 336- 4110 www.waldorealty.net • COMMUNITYCALENDAR The Plainview News Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2014 See Lois Moser at 412 W.

Elaine’s Tavern & Cafe Meetings Klick and Klatter In recognition of the anniversary of 60 years of being a club, the Klick and Klatter Club made a donation of $60 to the Library foundation when they met on Wednesday morning, Sept. 24, at a local café. Fern Steinkraus was a charter member of the club, and is the only charter member who is still a member of the club, as an honorary member. “What is your favorite book or magazine?” was answered for roll call by the four members in attendance. A birthday card was signed for Steinkraus and a card was signed for Ruth Hoffart, honorary member, as well. President Shirley Hoffman brought the scrapbook that she keeps about the club, and members enjoyed reading the articles and viewing the pictures. A picture was taken for the scrapbook in recognition of the 60th anniversary. Members were reminded about bringing unused Christmas cards to the November meeting to be packaged and given to residents at the Manor for their use. Hoffman was leader for the day and the card game, 7-Up, was played with prizes given. The October 22 meeting will be held at 9:30 a.m. at Serendipity with Janice Knaak as leader. CLIP & SAVE LINCOLN- While new rideshare services are growing rapidly and have increased transportation access in cities across the country, many argue these services operating illegally under current state laws, which was the debate at the Nebraska Capitol on Sept. 11. Uber and Lyft, two of the most popular rideshare services, are operated by a mobile app. When passengers are looking for a ride, they can order and pay for a driver to pick them up through the app. The drivers are everyday citizens who use their own vehicles to transport passengers. These rideshare services were first introduced to Omaha this spring and have now expanded into Lincoln, with the hope that they could expand in the state even more. Uber now operates in approximately 200 cities and 45 countries. “I know Nebraska. I know Nebraska needs services like ride sharing,” said Dave Barmore a representative from Uber and a Lexington native. During the hearing, the Transportation and Telecommunications Committee heard testimony from the Nebraska Public Service Commission, the Omaha City Council and Uber, Lyft, taxicab and insurance company representatives to determine the legality of these services and whether changes are needed to state laws for such services to operate in the state. The Public Service Commission and taxicab companies argued these services are illegal because they aren’t operating under the same “common carrier” standards as taxicab companies. “These companies need to play by the same rules we’ve had to for years,” said Kirby Young, Servant Cab coowner. Some of the specific regulations in question are that these ride-share companies don’t perform the same kind of background checks, don’t have the proper insurance and can charge different rates compared to the cab companies. The Public Service Commission has begun issuing citations to some Uber and Lyft drivers because of these violations. Uber and Lyft have said in these cases the company will be in charge of paying the citations, not the driver. The representatives from Uber and Lyft said they don’t fall under the definition of common carriers and said they properly regulate their services according to their own insurance and background check procedures. They emphasized their services are safe and are important in increasing transportation options in communities. While the services currently only operate in cities, committee Chairwoman Sen. Annette Dubas of Fullerton asked about the applicability to rural areas where transportation services are especially lacking. “I don’t know what it looks like, but there is room for innovation,” Dubas said. Lawmakers are expected to consider the issue in the next legislative session that begins in January. But in the meantime, Dubas asked about the “800pound elephant in the room.” What do these services do now if they are operating illegally under state laws? Uber and Lyft said they would be open to creating some sort of interim agreement with the state and continuing to operate, while the Public Service Commission and taxi cab companies said the services should stop until legislation has passed that allows them to operate legally. “We deal in a rule with black and white rules, not grey matter,” said John Davis, director of operations for Happy Cab.

Box 9 Plainview, NE 68769 Bracing for Winter According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, predictions for this winter range from mild and dry, to cold and dry, to cold and snowy, to cold and wet, depending where you live. Some areas will get above-normal snowfall and others above normal rain. The other almanac, Farmers’ Almanac, uses terms like Frigid and Flakey, and Crisp and Very Stormy. In other words, it’s going to be cold in most places. Before true winter arrives, take the time to get ready. There are quite a few steps you can take to be safe and warm this winter. Your Car: ¥ Get a maintenance inspection that includes oil change, fluids top-off and tire and brake check, as well as a new set of windshield wipers. ¥ If you live in cold country where you’re due to have lots of snow or possibly flooding from extra rain, fill a box with winter gear in case you’re stranded on the road, and keep it in your car: flashlight with beacon, mylar emergency blankets and rain ponchos (one for each person you’re likely to have in your car), a collapsible snow shovel, high-carb and protein snacks, bottles of water, waterproof matches, a wind-up radio that also charges cellphones, extra gloves and hats, and if you have room, a quilt. Your Home: ¥ Before it gets too cold, apply caulking to the exterior of windows to block drafts. Add clear plastic sheeting to the inside of windows (the kind you shrink with a hair dryer) to block the cold that radiates in from the glass. Check for drafts in front of outlets and block with plastic plugs or outlet insulation. ¥ If power goes out, it might be out for days. Bottled water will allow you to fix soups and hot cereals if you have a small camp stove to heat water outside. Add some canned food to your supply, and make sure you have a manual can opener. Load up on batteries for the flashlights, and make sure each person has one. If you have pets, babies or seniors in your home, consider any special needs they might have. ¥ If you can, send extra money to your utilities each month so you’re not hit with high bills during the coldest months.

Microwave for 30-45 seconds, and then use to scrub the interior of your microwave. If you have clinging stink, fill a glass bowl with 2 cups of water and add a half cup of baking soda. Microwave to a rolling boil, 3-5 minutes. Allow it to steam for 5 minutes and wipe out.” — K.F in Connecticut ¥ Fresh versus frozen in the seafood aisle: Unless you’re at the docks, most seafood in the grocer’s fresh fish case is thawed from frozen. Always ask. It’s much cheaper to buy frozen and thaw it yourself. ¥ A great idea for mini ice packs: Freeze ketchup packets you get from takeout food. They are great for icing small bumps or bug bites. ¥ Kids always breaking crayons? For rough little artists, here’s a quick fix: Cut short lengths of plastic straws to fit over the crayon. Slip over and tape closed. It gives the crayon a little more structure and protects it from breaking when a child presses down to color with a flourish! ¥ “If you need to keep your 1-yearold corralled in the bath, try using a laundry basket.

Barney Peterson and Mike Naprstek will have the bragging rights as Champions until next September after besting Sam Davidson and Tom Ostronic in the playoff. Sixteen members participated in the first year of the League with hopes that the number will at least double in 2015. The Ladies had many good turnouts on Monday nights in 2014 with a Stagette being held every other week. The Two-Ladies Scramble was held on July 28th, which is open to area golfers and locals alike. Golfing prizes and door prizes seem to abound that evening along with a special dinner. The Ladies also have a Thursday morning group that had a dozen playing every week. All the ladies should remember next Spring, that Monday evenings and Thursday evenings are for swingers to have a fun time.

Runge will begin her duties at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Plainview on Sunday, Oct. 5 and will be ordained here on Monday, Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. Runge grew up in a small town near the Mississippi River, graduating from Rockridge High School, Black Hawk Junior College and Augustana College in Rock Island, Ill. Once her two daughters, Laura and Rachel, were born, she returned to school at Marycrest College in Davenport, Iowa to obtain her teaching degree in elementary and secondary education. She worked at Eastern Iowa Community College as an employment specialist, serving flow-income in- dividuals and families, dislocated workers and students with disabilities to help then return to school, find a new job or learn skills necessary to prepare them for the workforce. In 1998, she became a Rehabilitation Counselor for the State of Iowa and also worked as a part-time Radio Broadcaster at WDLM, a Christian radio station in East Moline, Ill. In 2003 she completed a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling at the University of Iowa with a specialty in Disability Law and Ethics and in 2006 she became a child protection worker and dependent adult abuse investigator for the State of Iowa. In June of 2010 she retired from her career with the State of Iowa and entered the Wartburg Theological Seminary in Dubuque, Iowa in the Master of Divinity Program, and graudated in May of 2014. During seminary, she completed an 11-week Clinical Pastoral Program at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha and completed her internship at Osseo Evangelical General election early ballots to be sent out Ballots for the general election will be in the hands of some Nebraska voters as early as next week. Secretary of State John Gale says county election officials will begin mailing ballots to early voters starting on Monday, September 29. “Those will be sent to people who have already completed early voting ballot requests,” explained Gale. “Then five days later, starting October 4, Nebraskans will be able to show up at their county election office and vote there.” Early voting was a popular option among voters during the 2012 presidential election. Twenty-six percent of registered voters in Nebraska cast their ballots early. Creston Fertilizer Co. Inc. Bloomfield Branch and Bloomfield Ag and Aerial Service, Inc. “We experienced a real surge in 2012 for early voting. We hope it will be equally strong in the upcoming general election. Certainly, casting a ballot early is a convenience for a lot of people who, for whatever reason, can’t get to the polls on Election Day.” October 17 marks another key deadline for Nebraska voters. Any registrations sent in by mail must be postmarked by that day. Also, that’s the last day voter registrations can be completed at Department of Motor Vehicle offices, county treasurer offices, state agencies or departments. Any Nebraska resident needing to complete or update their voter registration can go to the Secretary of State’s website at www.sos.ne.gov. Voter forms are located under the “Elections” tab. That is the same place where voters can request an early voting form be mailed to them. Forms are in both English and Spanish. Steve Barney CURTISS LAW OFFICE, P.C., L.L.O. Bruce D. Curtiss, J.D.

After Confirmation I became a Sunday School teacher, and taught upper elementary grades for over 30 years. Prior to entering the seminary, I spent three weeks every summer for 15 years working as a camp counselor and program director for Lake Geneva Christian Youth Camp, a non-denominational Christian program in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.” “In this capacity I worked with other women directors in the Girls Camp Program to design the structure of a week-long program including arranging speakers, teaching bible classes, picking a theme for the week, designing biblical instruction to go with the theme, designing daily and special activities around the theme, developing devotional boxes for counselors to use during evening devotions, and serving as a liaison between camp administration, program staff, counselors, and campers,” said Runge. “In my home church I served as a Sunday School teacher, Bible study leader, church council member, and as chairperson of the Worship and Mutual Ministry Committees. During worship services I also served as an Assistant Minister, Lay Reader, and Communion Assistant. As part of the outreach program at my home parish I also visited with members who are shut-ins, residents in nursing homes, and who are hospitalized.” The church’s previous pastor, Nathan Metzger, moved to Adams to accept a call there a few years ago, and the church has been served by P.M.A. Jacquelyn Samway in the interim. “B” team falls to Crofton The Lady Pirate “B” team lost to a good Crofton team, 21-9, 4-21 and 1115. “The girls put up a good fight in the first set,” said Coach Deb White, “but then Crofton’s strong servers took over. We will really need to concentrate on serve receiving and setting the ball up.” Leading scorers in the first set were Hannah Stoffel, five points; followed by Katilynn Dougherty with four points. Kaydi Daudt had two points and Destiny Rickard had one. Abby Rafert was the lone scorer in set two with two points. In set three, Destiny Rickard and Abby Rafert each scored two points and Raven Higgs had one point. Kaydi Daudt, Kaitlynn Dougherty and Hannah Stoffel all had 100 percent serving for the day.
