survey coming to
Elwood residents
Tri-Basin NRD to offer back-up water system
operator services to Villages in District
In an effort to help protect
drinking water supplies for
district residents and to support
the work of utilities departments of villages in Tri-Basin
Natural Resources District
(NRD), the district’s directors
voted at their March meeting
to offer back-up Water System
Operator services to villages
that desire such assistance. In
recent years, it has sometimes
been difficult for smaller villages in the district to hire and
retain personnel to maintain
their water systems and complete associated record keeping. Tri-Basin staff will contact
villages of less than 500 people
with community water systems
(Wilcox, Funk, Smithfield,
Atlanta, and Loomis) to see
if they are interested in using
Tri-Basin staff as back-up
operators. If enough interest
is shown, two Tri-Basin water
technicians will be trained to
provide the services.
In another effort to protect
the district’s groundwater
supply, Tri-Basin Directors
approved the diversion of
approximately 500 acre-feet
of high Platte River flows
into Central Nebraska Public
Power and Irrigation District’s
(CNPPID) E-65 Canal in
mid-March. TBNRD and the
Nebraska Department of Natural Resources will pay CNPPID
roughly $25,000 to divert the
water, which will help recharge
groundwater in the Platte Basin
area of the district.
Tri-Basin Directors moved
forward with steps in the
Integrated Management Plan
(IMP) processes in two of the
river basins in the district. In
the Platte Basin, directors
designated Larry Reynolds of
Lexington as a representative
and Joe Larson of Loomis as
an alternate to participate in
meetings to update the existing
basin-wide Platte Basin IMP.
They also agreed to invite
the stakeholders who were
involved in the process of
developing the original IMP to
participate again. In the Little
Blue Basin, directors approved
a contract with JEO Engineering to facilitate stakeholder
meetings necessary to develop

a voluntary IMP in cooperation
with Little Blue NRD.
Tri-Basin NRD’s board also:
•Approved “Bridges to Opportunity” agreements with
Farm Service Agency (FSA)
Offices in Gosper and Phelps
Counties. These agreements
allow FSA employees to share
information about Tri-Basin
NRD’s conservation programs
with their customers.
•Approved one Farm Service
Agency farm plan, one certified
irrigated acre transfer, and
one request to adjust certified
irrigated acres.
•Approved three applications
for well decommissioning costshare funds totaling $1,500
and ten applications for TriBasin NRD and NSCWP costshare funds totaling $3,973.11.
Tri-Basin NRD’s next Board
of Directors meeting will be
Tuesday, April 5 at 1:30 p.m. at
Tri-Basin NRD, 1723 Burlington
in Holdrege, Nebraska.

At their respective February
meetings, the Elwood Public
School Board and the Elwood
Village Board of Trustees
agreed to the formation of a
four-member committee to
survey the Village and the
surrounding community about
the need and feasibility of a
joint project to build a wellness
center.
The committee is comprised
of one School Board member,
Kristi Diefenbaugh; a faculty
member, Lori Knoerzer; a Village Board member, Tom Martin and community member,
Kate Reiners. The committee
has prepared a survey that
will be mailed before the end
of March to everyone in the
68937 zip code. A link will also
be available to take the survey
online.
Upon the completion of the
survey, the committee will hold
a public meeting in April or
early May to share the results with the community and
receive further input. Look for
the announcement of that date.
At that time, the committee will
be seeking additional committee members.
Dawson Area Development
is working with the committee
to secure grant funding to offset the costs to the School and
the Village. There are no plans
to fund this project through a
bond issue.
Look for the survey in the
mail and share your thoughts!

Plans coming together for 150th birthday
Capitol View
By J.L. Schmidt
Statehouse Correspondent
The Nebraska Press
Association
Had it not been for a presidential veto, Nebraskans could
be celebrating 150 years of
statehood this year.
It was July 1866 when a
group of Radical Republicans
– take a minute to wrap your
head around that one – proposed making Nebraska the
37th State. Andrew Johnson,
a Jacksonian Democrat who
was the 17th President of the
United States, let the measure
die without his signature when
Congress adjourned.
That’s called a pocket veto,
undoubtedly named for the
practice of putting it in your
pocket and forgetting about it.
Johnson became President after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Jackson didn’t
think that the proposed Nebraska constitution fit his idea
of Reconstruction and blocked
the move.
Those Radical Republicans
came back with the Nebraska
statehood idea again in January of 1867 and offered the
Edmunds Amendment which
would require Nebraska and
any future states to allow blacks
to vote whether their state constitution approved of it or not.
Johnson vetoed the measure
on January 29, 1867. Congress
re-passed it – imagine those
Radical Republicans overriding
a veto – on February 9 which
set the stage for the official
March 1, 1867, recognition of
Nebraska statehood.
But the fighting wasn’t over.
The focus shifted to Omaha,
the site of the territorial capitol
since 1854. A group of politicians living south of the Platte
River wanted the capital moved
to somewhere south of the
Platte. Debate on the subject
was so heated that “fists and
guns” were brandished, according to one report. Makes
the war of words in Nebraska’s
104th Legislature seem tame
by comparison. A Capitol Commission was appointed to find
a suitable location south of the
Platte.
After months of study, the
commission landed on Lancaster, a small village with two
stores and a shoe shop. History
reports that there were 6 or 7
houses and about 30 residents
in Lancaster which, of course,
later became Lincoln.
Nevada was the 36th State
in 1864. Three years later Nebraska became a state. It was
seven years, 1876, before the
38th State – Colorado – came
along. This statehood business
is tough stuff. No wonder it’s
important to make a big deal
out of the 150th birthday – the
sesquicentennial. Besides, it’s
easier to pronounce than the
125th birthday was – the quasquicentennial.
I have always loved history
and am truly looking forward

to what promises to be a real
statewide event. Given that
plans call for a three-day statewide train tour, I am excited that
folks in opposite ends of the
state may have an opportunity
to see the other end. Living in a
state separated by a time zone
from end-to-end to say nothing
of vast weather differences – it
was 46 with pea-size hail in
Scottsbluff the same day it was
79 with sun and wind in Lincoln.
My love of history has caused
me to question the westward
expansion. I often wonder if the
people who decided to park the
oxen and wagon in what became Nebraska were less adventuresome than the folks who
made it to Wyoming or Idaho
or Oregon and Washington. Or
were they just tired? Or did they
really see Nebraska as the land
of opportunity?
Perhaps the stories about
having to hoist those wagons
over the Oregon Trail bluffs at
Windlass Hill (north and west
of Ogallala) made some people
have second thoughts about
moving on west. Or it could
have been tales about cowboys
and Indians.
Maybe it was the first example of Nebraska Nice. I’d like
to think that Nebraskans were
hardy stock who decided they
didn’t want their kids to be born
in Wyoming or Colorado or Nevada or Utah. Maybe they had a
premonition that California was
going to crumble into the ocean
one day.
Bottom line, chances are if
you are reading this column
you know exactly why you are
in Nebraska. Your ancestry may
not span that entire 150 years
– mine goes back to 1902 and
includes places such as Havelock, Fremont, Hastings, Sutton and Scottsbluff in the first
couple decades. If you are a native who can trace roots back to
the homesteads, good for you.
If you moved here for college
and decided to stay, or grew up
here and moved away and then
came back, welcome home.
I encourage all of you to check
out the dedicated website for
the 150th birthday event. You’ll
find out that this great state is
bigger than agriculture and football and politics and tourism. It’s
a delightful tapestry of all that,
and more!

A bill which took
up a large amount
of time this week
was LB 745,
which would increase available
funds for Nebraska’s Game and
Parks Department, by allowing
the department to charge more
for some types of permits. Nebraska long ago decided on
responsible fiscal policy toward
our natural resources by working to ensure that much of the
operations of Game and Parks
would be funded by fees collected by the department. As
time has gone by, inflation
has raised their costs, but the
amount they are permitted by
law to charge has not. In order
to ensure that that operational
cost increase doesn’t draw
more from the state, I believe
it is best to support Game and
Parks by simply adjusting what
is paid by those who enjoy all
that it offers. In addition to managing the fish and wildlife, they
also have responsibility for all
of the state parks and outdoor
recreation resources. The bill
came up against several hours
of filibuster by Senator Chambers, who emphasized his
support for a ban on mountain
lion hunting, and objected to
increased budgetary authority
for Game and Parks, which administers all hunting permits in
Nebraska.
By the time you read this,
we will likely have debated LB
900, which would lift the helmet
requirement for Nebraska motorcyclists over the age of 21,
replacing it with a protective
eyewear requirement. I believe
that this will be an important
step for Nebraska away from
“nanny state” thinking, and toward an emphasis on personal
freedom, coupled with personal
responsibility for the decisions
we make. The bill will also raise
motorcycle registration fees
and penalties for operating a
motorcycle without a license to
do so. The money would be put
toward a new Motorcycle Safety
and Brain Injury Trust Fund.
On Thursday of last week,
the legislature was treated to
delicious bake & take cinnamon
rolls from the Nebraska Wheat
Growers’ Association. My colleagues deeply appreciate what
Nebraska wheat growers do to
feed the state, the nation, and
the world; and of course as a
wheat grower myself, I know
firsthand the positive impact
that our farmers have on Nebraska’s economy.
I always enjoy hearing from
the Nebraskans I represent.

concerns that you might have.

was in jail facing charges from
the accident. Keith forgave him
and from this started the Todd
Becker Foundation where the
team travels throughout the
Midwest sharing Todd’s story.
The program includes photos of
Todd in his senior picture, in his
football uniform, pole vaulting,
with his girlfriend, the mangled
car that took his life and his funeral.
It is the hope of the Foundation that it will make the
students think about their life
choices. Keith said. “You can
cry out for help all you want but
there will come a day when our
choices will come back to haunt
us. Whether you’re read or not,
too young or old, everybody will
be held accountable.”

Rianna’s Beef bits
Many people always know
certain dates of celebrations
like July 4th, our Nation’s independence; Valentine’s Day on
February 14th; and April Fools
Day on April 1st! But did you
know we celebrate National Ag
Day every year in March? In
fact, every year the Agriculture
Council of America celebrates
the contributions of farmers
and ranchers for a whole week.
This year National Ag Week is
March 13th through the 19th to
draw awareness to the incredible things farmers and ranchers
provide like food, fiber, pharmaceuticals and fuel.
My goal this week is to tell
as many people as I can why I
love living on a ranch and how
farming and ranching touches
their lives every day! Happy Ag
Week!
Rodeo Queen titles held by many in the area, more opportunities this summer
The rodeo royalty season is
coming to an end and these
young ladies will be looking
for a chance to hold new titles. There are some young ladies that may be looking for their
first title or pageant. Hopefully
the information in this article will
be of help to them.
This past year was the first
time ever in at least 50 years
that rodeo royalty titles have
been held by several area ladies. Following are pageants in
the area and those whose titles
are held by local young ladies.
The Miss Wilsonville Rodeo
Junior Queen title is currently
held by Chaise Friehe of Culbertson. This title is for young
ladies 15 years of age and
younger. This year’s pageant
will be Friday evening, June 3,
at 7 pm. The first category is
Horsemanship held in the rodeo arena just southof Wilsonville. Anyone interested in this
title should contact Ashley RiceGerlach at 308-340-4566.
The Miss Teen Rodeo Nebraska Queen is Taytum Dickman of Elwood. Taytum shall
give up her title in June. Anyone interested in trying out for
this title doesn’t have long to
enter as the entries have to be
in by April 1, 2016. This title
is the second highest rodeo
royalty held in Nebraska. The
pageant is held in conjunction
with the Miss Rodeo Nebraska
Pageant on June 12th through
June 15th in North Platte. This
title is for young ladies from 15
to 18 years of age. Contact
Kathy Ewing at 308-530-0590.
The Miss Southwest Nebraska Rodeo Queen title is
currently held by Jenna Langer
of Superior. There is another pageant held at the same
time for the Junior Queen Title
which is currently held by Rebel Sjeklocha of Hayes Center. The pageant date is July
16th at the Red Willow County
Fairgrounds in McCook. Both
titles are in unison of each other. The queen title is for young
ladies 16 to 20 years of age as
of January 1st. The Junior
Queen title is for ages 15 and
under as of January 1st. These
two ladies will perform their last
duties at the first night of the
Red Willow County Rodeo on
July 23rd. They will be crowning the new title holders before
the rodeo that night. These two
young ladies will relinquish their
titles after the rodeo and the
new title holders will begin their
title duties on Sunday morning,
July 24, during the rodeo slack
performance. Contact Myrna
Harper at 308-364-2584 or on
Facebook under Southwest Nebraska Rodeo Queen Association. Entries are due by June
25th.
Miss Elwood Rodeo Queen
title is currently held by Chyanne Friehe of Culbertson. The
pageant will be held on July
24th, beginning at 9 am at the
Gosper County Fairgrounds
in Elwoood. The crowning will
take place at the rodeo that
evening. Contact Jennifer Kohl
at 308-746-1792 for entry information. The current title holders have
done many tasks during their
reigns. Not only helping at rodeos and riding in parades,
they also have helped at many
county fairs, visited manors and
hospitals, done mock rodeos
for daycare facilities and given
talks/speeches at various organizations and schools. They
have been promoting the
Southwest Nebraska area and
the rodeo they represent. Many
area people are proud of these
young ladies, plus all the ladies
who have held the titles in the
past.
All three of the local pageants are Nebraska State
Rodeo Association title holders. The Miss Rodeo Nebraska
pageants are of the Professional Rodeo Association. We have

A. Reynolds, 87, of
Lexington, Nebraska, passed
away Thursday, March 10,
2016, at Plum Creek Healthcare Community in Lexington.
She was born April 28, 1928,
at Benkelman, Nebraska, to
Vernard and Hazel (Walters)
Gummere. Shirley grew up
and attended school in Benkelman where she graduated from
Benkelman
High
School
with the class
of 1945. She
taught
school
for a year prior
to attending the
University of Nebraska. While
at the University she met Norman while roller skating. Shirley had taken a fall and Norman
was there to pick her up.
Shirley was united in marriage to Norman W. Reynolds
on February 29, 1948, in Benkleman. This was Leap Year, so
Norman always figured he only
had to buy an anniversary gift
every four years, Shirley didn’t
think that was quite as funny. The couple made their home
south of Lexington where they
farmed, ranched, and raised
horses. They raised horses for
many years, achieving national
recognition with a quarter horse
stallion, Zippo Pine Bar. She
loved attending horse shows
with her children and grandchildren. An amazing story about
Norman and Shirley is they
never went anywhere without
the other. It was a true love story, and they are together once
again.
Shirley was an active member of First United Methodist
Church, Chapter GR, P.E.O.,
ELWOOD BULLETIN • PAGE 6
Shirley A. Reynolds
Order of the Eastern Star, leader for Job’s Daughters, several
bridge groups, and the Investment Club.
She enjoyed all Lexington
activities involving youth. She
could be seen at all the sporting events, musical events, etc. She cheered on every child
from Lexington as if he or she
was her own. The Nebraska
Cornhuskers also held a special place in her heart, and as
a younger woman she rarely
missed a game. She enjoyed
entertaining, spending time with
family, especially the grandchildren, and loved cooking for
the farm and ranching crews
throughout the years.
Shirley was a classy lady who
enjoyed dressing nice, as her
mother owned Hazel’s Town &
Country for many years. She
had a wonderful smile, and a
kind nature, and was a friend to
all.
Shirley is survived by two
sons; Larry and wife Jeanne
Reynolds of Lexington, Nebraska, Rod and wife Susan Reynolds of Lexington, Nebraska;
son-in-law, John Snider of Lexington, Nebraska; seven grandchildren; Shannon and her husband Dan Keller of Lexington,

at Wessels Lawn
soon much of their life revolved
around them. She knew the
bloodlines and the personalities
of the stock and could match
buyer and horse perfectly and
she had a knack for remembering everyone she ever met
or visited with over the phone.
One of her proudest accomplishments was selling the first
Morgan horse to Germany in
1979. Myrna truly loved people
and greatly cherished all the
lasting friendships they made.
She dedicated much of her
life and time to the promotion of the Morgan horse. She
served on the National Committee Board for the AMHA for 17
years, was the editor of the Missouri Valley Morgan Horse Club
Newsletter for over 16 years
and announced the Morgan
Show at the Nebraska State
Fair for nearly 40 years. She
was also a member of the FCE
for 60 years where she served
as Western Director and a
member of the Congregational
Church in Curtis until it closed.
Myrna loved collecting recipes, coupons, big purses and
bold jewelry…anything with
bright colors. She loved gardening, canning and flowers.
She cherished all her dear
friends with the FCE club, the
Morgan Horse community and
all her neighbors, relatives &
friends.
Above all, she was proudest
of raising her family. She is survived by Harvey, her husband
of 60 years, Harlan (Tammy),
Curtis; Gina (Dennis) Essink
Syracuse; and Harris (Joanie)
Maxwell, grand- children Hance
Grunden, Curtis; Megan (Dawson) Welch and sons, Lane
& Jett Moorefield, Brandon &
John Essink, Syracuse; Jace
& Dallas Grunden, Maxwell;
her brother Jerrold (Jan) Hibbs,
Smithfield, and a host of family
& friends. She will be missed
by all who knew & loved her.
She was preceded in death
by infant son, parents, Arnold &
Vera Hibbs, in-laws, Forrest &
Blanche Grunden.
