This joins Nebraska City’s previous listing with Culture Trip as one of The USA's 10 Best Small-Town Cultural Meccas. The following citation from Culture Trip’s web site describes Nebraska City. Nestled on the banks of the Missouri River on the border with Iowa, Nebraska City was founded in 1855 and is the state’s oldest incorporated city. Naturally, there’s a ton of historical wonders to entertain history buffs, from the Mayhew Cabin and John Brown’s Cave, Nebraska’s only recognized Underground Railroad site, to the beautiful Arbor Lodge State Historical Park – the former home of J. Sterling Morton, founder of Arbor Day. For a small town of around 7,000 Nebraska City certainly packs a busy cultural calendar and is bestknown for the AppleJack Festival, held each September since 1969, which celebrates the start of the apple harvest.

PHOTO BY NIKKI CARLSON Otoe County Board considers Phone Pre-Trial Release program seizure Nikki Carlson ncarlson@ncnewspress.com District Judge Jeffrey Funke asked Otoe County commissioners to implement a Pretrial Release Program in Otoe County Tuesday morning. During the Otoe County Commissioners meeting, Funke said the program would help ensure that inmates who've posted bonds would return to court and would increase the public's safety because inmates out on bond would be monitored by a pre-trial release officer. Another benefit would be that the program would save the county money. Commissioner Rick Freshman said the Otoe County Jail can hold up to 21 inmates. If there's a surplus of inmates, they're then transported to the Cass County Jail at Otoe County's expense. Funke said that Cass County charges Otoe $55 per day to house an inmate. "So instead of people sitting in jail, we could release them on perhaps a lower bond with pre-trial release and not have the expense of sitting in jail," he said. Freshman said he would like more time to look at the program in detail, but said if the program will save the county money then he's interested in program moving forward. "A lot of times we pay Cass County to house overflow," he said. "And so if this program will help relieve that then it should help the county save money." Freshman added the county also spends a lot of money transporting inmates to be housed in Cass County and also transporting inmates back and forth between Otoe and Cass counties for court appearance. Funke said Sarpy County, who has had the program for about nine years, is willing to offer 29 hours of supervision weekly if Otoe and Cass counties enter into an interlocal agreement to implement the program. Funke added that Sarpy County suggested to do the work for $3,400 that could be split between Cass and Otoe counties. See COMMISH, page A6 County receives $52K scrap tire grant Nikki Carlson ncarlson@ncnewspress.com Otoe County residents are encouraged to gather up their scrap tires for an upcoming collection taking place in June. Otoe County Emergency Management Director Gregg Goebel said Otoe County has received a significant grant of $52,176 from the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality to host a free two-day tire amnesty or scrap tire collection. Goebel said the goal is to collect a total of 600 tons of tires in three locations to recycle them into useable products and to keep tires out of the county's road ditches or waterways. "If we get them picked up and we get them disposed of we don't have problems, or as much problems, with mosquitos or airborne pathogens like that," Goebel said. "Also they don't end up in our county road ditches and our waterways." Goebel said the state of Nebraska has offered the spare tire collection program for 15 years. Otoe County has participated in the program in the past, however, not in the past two years. "It's always been a good program and Otoe County's always stepped up to the plate," he said. "This is again another really good chance to get rid of all those tire we have stashed everywhere." The collection will take place June 26 and June 27 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Palmyra Disposal & Recycling Center and the Otoe County Roads shops in Syracuse and Nebraska City. Goebel said tires of all kinds will be taken except for a few. "There are very few limitations," he said. "The biggest limitations are tires with rims on them because of the weight, tires that came out of the dirt that are just caked in dirt or mud and, unfortunately, we can't take retailers' tires." Goebel said in the last 13 years, the largest tire collection in Otoe County yielded 312 tons. He's hoping to collect 200 tons in all three locations. Otoe County had received the NDEQ grant money last week. "I don't know how many counties in the state had actually received it, but I know Otoe County was one of the biggest," Goebel said. The money will be used mainly to pay Champlin Tire Recycling Inc. of Concordia, Kan., to dispose of and recycle the tires.

The cell phone belonged to Cole A. Rinne, 25, of Nebraska City. The search warrant occurred on May 8 at 5:12 p.m. Rinne was arrested and booked into the Otoe County Sheriff's Office on suspicion of possession of child pornography. Rinne's first appearance in Otoe County Court was Monday. He faces two counts of possession of child pornography, which are Class 3 felonies. His bond was set at $25,000. A Class 3 felony charge could mean a maximum of 20 years in prison, a $25,000 or both. According to an affidavit, Rinne had prior convictions of attempted child enticement and one prior conviction of failing to register as a sex offender. Rinne's preliminary hearing has been scheduled for June 1 at 1:30 p.m. in the Otoe County Courtroom.

COURTEOUS COMMENTS NFL’s hot air proves deflating The drive toward a decision in the Tom Brady/ New England Patriot Deflate-At-Your-Own-Risk scandal didn’t end in a punt on Monday. That’s we know for certain. The NFL was motivated to punish Brady and his franchise and put out a ruling that they hoped would do just that. What the NFL Commissioner and his cohorts didn’t consider, however, was the sensibility of the punishment. They didn’t know how lame their report would sound. It’s supposed to be a smoking gun document and yet all of its “evidence” is centered around words like probably and likely. And that points directly at the league’s true motivation here. They’re out to get the Patriots. Now, before anyone screams Patriot-bias, let me assure you that you won’t find it with me. For years, I have joined many other NFL fans in being frustrated by the Patriots. They have a cut-throat and win-at-all-cost coach whose aloof nature inspires dislike. They win. They win at a constant clip. They come close to breaking the rules, and, at least most of the time, stop just short of that, in an effort to win. The NFL was sick of seeing their brand associated with this style of competition and so they acted. It’s just unfortunate that they acted in this instance because it ends up looking like a witch hunt. What better way to cripple a team in the immediate future than to suspend KIRT MANION its quarterback. But why should Brady be suspended? Go through the list of other suspects that probably deserve it more. Robert Kraft, the owner who has said over and over that the Patriots did nothing wrong, has led a program that has broken the rules at least one other time with spy-gate. Coach Bill Belichick, who no doubt came up with the plan. The center, who handled the football before it got to Brady’s hands. Maybe the NFL should suspend itself for having such a lax system in place. Playing games with deflated balls damages the league’s reputation and yet there’s no independent official on the sideline responsible for safeguarding that reputation. We’ll just hope that, in the spirit of competition, all will abide by the rules. Come to think of it, let’s just allow each team to appoint a video review guy to handle their replay challenges. The NFL knows that deflating footballs is far from a scandal. They know that New England shouldn’t be punished, but they have their own agenda, and that’s why this is all one big joke. HOPE FOR TODAY Reflections on commencement By Clint Decker During May over six million students are expected to graduate from high schools, colleges and universities. These teenagers and twenty-somethings will reach a milestone and have a new beginning for themselves. If you know of a graduate here are a few pieces of commencement wisdom to pass along. Rejoice and celebrate your achievement. Years have been invested to get to this point. Do not let it slide by without enjoying the moment. Celebrate! Resolve to never give up. There were challenges in reaching this day and there will be challenges tomorrow. Researchers say that there will be over 20% of high school students and over 40 percent of college and university students who will never reach graduation. You did. You overcame. Recall the people that helped you make it. No man is an island to himself. Thank the people who helped you along the way. Henry Ward Beecher once said, "Gratitude is the fairest blossom, which springs from the soul.” Release the heartache connected with the journey. Your celebration may be bittersweet. Maybe a loved one or close friend has passed away and their absence is heart-wrenching. Maybe there is some relationship conflict sucking the joy out of the air. When you receive that diploma or degree, vow to release the pain and step into the future. Remember Almighty God. A wise King once said, “Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth” (Ecclesiastes 12:1). It is very easy to forget God when we are young. A sense of adventure, a desire to question and the journey towards independence can all lead there. Yet, He has a way of keeping us in-check. It is often found in those times of adversity when our determination and ability cannot fix the situation. We realize we are at the mercy of time, chance or others. God uses these moments to teach us that we need the intervention of someone outside of ourselves – Him. As you reach this milestone, be resolved to depend upon God with all your heart. He is real and trustworthy. May you become a follower of Jesus, God’s only Son, and may He bring you hope for today and your future. POLITICS Raising moral standards I really hate it when people endear themselves to the religious right and then fail to use that platform responsibly. To me, Jesus isn’t some celebrity’s name to drop to try to impress people. He isn’t part of a political platform or point of view. When you represent people of faith, the bar is raised. The standards of ethical and moral correctness have to be the highest. Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case. In Biblical stories, David was a shepherd boy. When he faced the giant Goliath, he showed no fear because he had already killed a lion and a bear protecting his flock. He went on to kill Goliath and end his attacks on the soldiers of Israel. Later David became king of his people. But what happens when the shepherds start fleecing the sheep instead of protecting them? Somehow, Todd Starnes has used his conservative point of view to make inroads with social conservatives. But he often plays a little fast and loose with the truth and that is no way to behave when you are broadcast by Christian media outlets. Last week, Starnes used his daily radio spot to berate President Barack KENT BUSH Obama and the liberal media for not speaking out about the death of a 25-year-old officer in New York City. Of course, he framed the officer’s death in a false-equivalence with the Baltimore protests and riots because of the death of an unarmed black man at the hands of the police. Starnes’ piece ran Tuesday morning. Obama had already commented and most media outlets – whether liberal or not - with any national interest had already covered the unfortunate death well before Starnes’ comments aired. Via a Twitter exchange, Starnes defended himself for his inaccurate comments by stating that he had to record his piece before the President or media had responded. He said it was accurate when he recorded it. I’m not sure when he hit the record button on that segment, but it must have been within minutes of the officer’s death. Facts are facts, Starnes has an anti-Obama “us against them” narrative that he has to maintain. He has not – and likely will not – correct his erroneous claims. That is unfortunate. It is a black eye not only for Starnes, but for the stations with whom he is affiliated. But the problem goes beyond pundits who push a point of view. Mike Huckabee should have no problem with credibility with the religious right. They don’t get more religious or more right than Southern Baptist pastors. But Huckabee has also been a little lax when it comes to how he makes money lately. Huckabee is famous for dropping more than 100 pounds. Like Jared from Subway, Huckabee has endorsed weight loss products. However, one plan includes medically unproven uses of cinnamon and chromium picolinate to assist in weight loss and balancing blood sugar. Anecdotes are not evidence and claiming that these things can work is one thing but endorsing them as a cure for diabetes is far from scientifically proven. Like Huckabee said on Sunday morning shows, if that is the worst thing anyone can find against him, he is a pretty good candidate. Alas, it isn’t. Huckabee rented out his email list to a company that claims there is a cure for cancer if people will just perform some sort of holy acrostic puzzle with randomly selected Bible verses. That may have worked for Tom Hanks in “The DaVinci Code” but if that is what you are banking on to cure your cancer, you might need to seek a second opinion. Huckabee said he never endorsed the cancer cure and it is no different than media outlets advertising “catheters and adult diapers.” Well, one way it is different is that catheters and adult diapers are real and the people who order those from advertisers actually get what they pay for. I understand that many people want to see someone like Huckabee do well at the polls because there are parts of his resume that are very appealing to people of faith. I want to like him too. It’s just hard when you see him taking advantage of people by pushing false products and false narratives to build audience and pad bankrolls. DIGGING UP ROOTS The story of Neescaw American History has faithfully recorded the settlement of the western frontier and the hardships our ancestors faced as they settled the Great Plains. Through books, movies and documentaries we have an accurate picture of the white settler. However, we know very little about those who were here before the white man. Oh, we have the stereotypes of the halfnaked brave or the Indian Chief with his war bonnet of feathers, but we know very little about the daily life of the Indian. In digging through some files at the Nebraska State Historical Society, I discovered the story of an Indian of the Oto tribe from his birth to his death. I found it interesting. I think you will too, so for the next few weeks I am going to tell you a true story about an Oto Indian named Neescaw. Born in 1846, He was given the name Neescaw, which in Oto language means White Water. The white man called him SHIRLEY GILFERT James Whitewater. He was the son of an Oto Indian woman and a white man and had grown up with the Crow tribe, close kin to the Otos. Little is known about his childhood other than that he had gone to a Mission school and learned to read and write, one of only three Indians in the Oto tribe that could do so. Rumor had it that he had murdered a man while living with the Crow tribe. Perhaps that is why he left their settlement. Sometime shortly be- fore 1869 he and his bride Tah-sha-mi came to live in the village of Chief Medicine Hat near the mouth of Mission Creek in Southeast Nebraska. They seemed to be a devoted couple. Tah-sha-mi was beautiful, industrious and loyal to her husband. She made him beautiful shirts and moccasins of the finest deerskin and decorated them with fine beadwork and porcupine quills. Many young braves were envious of Neescaw, but they also feared him. Neescaw seemed to have a Jekyll and Hyde personality. Although he carried the white man’s Bible to church, he also wore an Oto medicine bag around his neck and often prayed to Waconda, the Great Maker of All Things. Often he wandered alone through the timbers, shouting out loudly to Waconda and those who heard him would think he was planning a terrible mischief and asking for supernatural assistance to do so. The entire tribe feared him and even his wife claimed that sometimes an evil spirit would come upon him as he slept. The tribe decided that he had inherited an evil spirit from his white ancestor. Medicine Hat’s village was near the town of Fairbury. The Oto tribe co-existed peacefully with the town settlers and would often camp in the Fairbury town square when they were on their way to a summer Buffalo hunt. It was not at all unusual to see young Fairbury boys and Oto Indian boys playing together. On July 4, 1871, the Otos were returning from a summer Buffalo hunt when they were attracted to Mattingly’s Mill near Fairbury by a new steam whistle that was welcoming the pioneers to a Fourth of July celebration. Some of the Otos decided to join in the fun and lingered, but as the day went on, most of them left on their way back to their reservation. Neescaw decided to stay. It was a bad decision and one that would change his life forever. Next week I’ll tell you why. M A Y 15, 2015 - N E W S -P P R E S S SPORTSBEAT A G E A5 Please submit: 823 Central Ave., P.O.

Bret Kochanowicz was tagged with the loss. He pitched six innings, giving up six hits and two earned runs while striking out four and walking two. “Bret threw a good game,” said head coach Tom Bales. “Their pitcher had good movement and kept us off balance. “We finally started to get to him a little bit in the seventh,” Bales added, “but we had a hard-hit line drive by Kestyn Lee turn into a double play that ended it.” The Pioneers were held to just three hits in the game. “Our guys never quit,” Bales continued. “They played hard and stayed after it and believed they could come back and win.” “That shows the character that they have and it will bode well in the future,” he said. Four of the team’s starters--Kestyn Lee, Bret Kochanowicz, Chris Monaghan and Cody Krier-graduated Sunday. “We will miss our seniors, ” said Bales, “but they laid down a good foundation for our younger players and hopefully they will build on it.” Pioneer tennis battles gusty wind at EMC Julie Mancini jmancini@ncnewspress.com The Nebraska City girls’ tennis team battled cold, windy conditions to finish fifth in the Eastern Midlands Conference tournament on May 11 at the Nebraska Tennis Center in Lincoln. Elkhorn South won the tournament with 36 total points. “The weather conditions made tennis difficult for all players, with 45 degree temps and gusty winds,” said head coach Dan Holmberg. “Kendra McGinnis was disappointed in her performance in the second round against Kylie Hohlen, as she had beaten her in our dual a few weeks ago, but the wind was a real equalizer and minimized many of Kendra's strengths,” he continued. “I was pleased in the way she was able to mentally bounce back to win the third place match, we needed every team point we could get.” The Pioneers earned seven team points in the competition, thanks to a combination of singles play by McGinnis and doubles play by Lais Barbosa and Magen Jorgensen. “We are a singles-oriented team, so we were really proud of the two wins Lais and Magen earned in No. 1 Doubles,” said Holmberg. “We would have finished last without them. “ Here is a summary of the tournament results: No. 1 Singles: Kendra McGinnis earned third place with 2-1 record. She defeated Whitney Aman of Blair in opening round 6-2, 6-2. McGinnis lost to Kylie Hohlen of Norris 61, 6-0, then defeated Madison Tabor of Waverly 8-6 in the third-place match. No. 2 Singles: Evy Causgrove lost 6-1, 6-0 to Carly Brune of Elkhorn, and lost 8-3 to Alyssa Pracht of Waverly. No. 1 Doubles: Lais Barbosa and Magen Jorgensen lost to Blair 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the opening round, then beat Gretna 8-0 and beat Waverly 8-6 in consolation bracket to earn fifth place with 2-1 record. No. 2 Doubles: Taylor Ackerman and Brenna Turner lost to Gretna 62, 6-0 and to Elkhorn, 82. The Pioneers played Crete on Thursday in a dual match at Steinhart Park.

Pioneer golfers prep for district tourney Julie Mancini jmancini@ncnewspress.com The Nebraska City boys’ golf team placed 10th at the Waverly Invitational Tuesday at Crooked Creek Golf Course in Lincoln. The team score of 393 put them 80 strokes behind the firstplace team, Wahoo Neumann. “We had some nice rounds and some rounds that were not the best,” said head coach Scott Kinnison. “I was really happy with rounds Kyle Francois and Ben Miller had.” he added. “Kyle was pretty consistent, and it was nice to see Ben shoot below 100 for the first time this year.” Kyle Francois had the best individual score for the Pioneers golfers with a 93, fol- lowed by Tom Gress’ 94. The rest of the team’s scores were as follows: Ben Miller, 98; Aston Crum, 108: and Loren Steinman, 112. The three seniors on the team--Gress, Crum and Steinman--didn’t shoot their best rounds at the tournament, but Kinnison expects them to be ready for district play on Monday. “Sometimes after graduation weekend, there is a little emotional and physical letdown, and guys don't always play their best,” said Kinnison. “I expect them to learn from it, and all three will be ready to go next week,” he said.

Huskers wrap up season against Illinois With three games left in the regular season, the Nebraska baseball team (34-19, 9-12 Big Ten) will start its final Big Ten series of the year on Thursday in Champaign, Ill., against the No. 5 Illinois Fighting Illini (43-6-1, 19-1 Big Ten). The series runs Thursday-Friday-Saturday, with both Thursday and Friday’s games set for 6:05 p.m. Saturday’s regular-season finale is scheduled for 2:05 p.m. Both Friday and Saturday’s games will be carried live nationwide on the Big Ten Network. Nebraska comes into the series eighth in the Big Ten Conference following a 2-1 series loss to Purdue. Nebraska has struggled of late and is 4-6 in its last 10 games and is just 2-7 on the road during Big Ten play this season. The Illini are at the op- posite end of the spectrum, as they enter the weekend on a 24-game winning streak, which ties them with Texas A&M for the longest winning streak in the nation this season. The Illini have swept a schoolrecord six straight Big Ten series heading into Thursday. Illinois last overall loss and lone conference loss this season came on March 29 at Michigan State, 5-2. The Illini enter the weekend with a 1.5 game lead over Iowa for the Big Ten regular season title. The Hawkeyes wrap up the season with a three game series at Rutgers. The series will be the fourth between the Huskers and Illini since Nebraska joined the Big Ten for the 2012 season. The Huskers have won each of the first three series between the two teams, including a 2-1 series win in Champaign in 2013. Nebraska and Illinois first met in 1897, with Illinois winning 14-9, and the two clubs didn’t meet again until 2012 when Nebraska hosted Illinois for its first ever Big Ten game on March 23, 2012. The Illini won the opener, 113, but the Huskers responded with victories in the final two games to win the series. On the Radio Fans across Nebraska and around the world can listen to Greg Sharpe and Lane Grindle call all of the action on the Husker Sports Network - including KLIN 1400 AM in Lincoln - and live on Huskers.com, the Official Husker App or the TuneIn Radio App. TV Coverage Friday and Saturday’s games will be carried live on the Big Ten Network. Web Streams Thursday’s game will be streamed on Illinois’ All Access website. Friday and Saturday’s games will be streamed live on BTN2Go.com and the BTN2Go App. Earn a Bid Following a series loss to Purdue, the Huskers are still in position to reach the 2015 Big Ten Tournament. Nebraska is in search of its fourth straight trip to the postseason tournament, which will be hosted at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minn. Nebraska last qualified for four-straight conference tournaments when they were members of the Big 12, as they made 10 straight tournaments from 1999 to 2008. COMMISH From page A1 Some of the expense would include monitoring and laboratory fees, GPS or monitoring devices for program participants and drug and alcohol testing. Funke added that court judges will be responsible for determining who can participate in the program, which will cost $50 per participant. He stressed that "high-risk" or "highly-violent" offenders won't qualify for the program. He used people who've had a fourth or fifth driving under the influence offenses as being good candidates for the program. "A lot of times those people have a drinking problem, but they still have a job, they still have the financial ability to post bond. Right now they post the bond and they're out," he said. "We don't know if they're drinking, we don't know if they're drinking and driving, and this situation would give us the opportunity to monitor these people." Those in the program could be required to meet weekly with a pretrial release officer, go through continuous drug and alcohol testing, and if alcohol is an issue then a monitoring device could be installed in participants' vehicles to ensure that they can't drive while impaired. "So it increases public safety in that respect that we have people that are weeks from jail, pending a case, and so being monitored will ensure that they're complying with the law and the rules that we set forth in the conditions for bond," Funke said. Commissioners authorized Funke to proceed with negotiations with Cass County and for the county attorney's office to review them. Commissioners also heard from Mike Wieckhorst II, who farms in all directions surrounding Nebraska City, spoke about the county's "outof-shape" roads. "The roads are flat. They've got a lip on the outside edges of them and its throughout the whole county," Wieckhorst said. He asked commissioners if the roads could be crowned or rounded with the lips removed instead of pouring more rock on the roads. He knew of one road that has a ditch forming in the middle of the road. Commission Chairman Tim Nelsen said Wieckhorst could provide a list of problematic roads to all of the commissioners representing the districts where the roads are located. Nelsen added that some of the road projects that Wieckhorst discussed were on the one- to sixyear roads project plan. "These guys truly are trying to do the best that they can with the money and the equipment that we have," he said about the Otoe County Roads department. "We have about 1,280-something miles (of county roads). You could basically almost go to Denver and back with the amount of roads and there is rebuilding that goes on. Each commissioner is in charge of their own district where that's done." Commissioner Steven Lade said the county is still trying to recover from the 2010 flooding and the recent rainfall hasn't helped. "It all depends on how the weather goes and that depends on which ones we do because we have certain roads that we have to keep open," Lade said. Roads supervisor Chad Watkins said weather plays a huge role in the timeline of when road work can be done. "If you get a half-inch of slow rain on (the road), you're not going to be able to get down it even with a truck," Watkins said. "That's the biggest thing is we kind of have a timetable on when we can do that stuff and when we can't. In the springtime it's kind of hard to do that stuff. There is a plan in place." Other agenda items commissioners approved were: ■ Contracting with Mainelli Wagner & Associates Inc. in Lincoln to perform mandatory bridge inspections countywide; ■ Purchasing additional rock with Inheritance Tax funds to continue rocking roads in the county; ■ Purchasing metal culverts from Ace/Eaton Metals of Kearney for $19,015.50, to replace aging culverts east of M and 8th roads, located northeast of Douglas; ■ Purchasing metal culverts from Ace/Eaton for $5,798 to replace aging culverts north of E and 16th roads, located northwest of Unadilla; ■ And permission for the countywide scrap tire collection to take place at the roads shops in Syracuse and Nebraska City June 26 and June 27. Otoe County Roads lead supervisor Jonathan Brinkman said two roads have been closed due to the May 6 storm. Culverts are out on I and 8th roads south of Palmyra and J and 2nd roads southwest of Palmyra. Nelsen asked Brinkman to get quotes immediately to do an emergency replacement of the culverts to get the roads reopened. Brinkman said the recent rain on the west end of the county has affected 20-percent of the county and the roads department has been busy removing debris and repairing rough spots on roads. Watkins said the crew had been using motor graders Monday to work on road repairs. "We're not getting any miles upon miles of roads opened up just because of the weather that they're talking about towards the end of the week," he said Tuesday morning. "Rock truck have been running nonstop pretty much." Roads construction supervisor Ryan Neemann, who has been on the job for a week, said the weather has hindered progress. "We're trying to get back into the construction process. The rain it's really hindered everything that we've tried to get done and how fast we get that done," Neemann said. "Just hoping for better weather. You know we've got a lot of projects that we need to get going on, but the weather and mud just got us down." TIRES From page A1 Spare tires are one of the main products Champlin recycles to make park benches and picnic tables. The company also recycles milk jugs and pop bottles to make its products to promote a cleaner environment, and processes over 4 million tires annually. Goebel added that the rest of the money is used to pay people working at the collection sites and for advertising for the project. Goebel stressed that tires can't be dropped off at the three locations prior to or after the collection dates in June. Also, tires need to be dropped off during the collection sites' hours from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. "We cannot take any tires prior to those times and those dates, or after those times and those dates," Goebel said. Otoe County Commission Chairman Tim Nelsen said the scrap tire collection has been successful in the past. "It has been very successful and we hope it's twice as successful this year," Nelsen said.

Certification through the course grants an exemption to the law allowing 14- and 15-yearolds to drive a tractor and to do field work with mechanized equipment. The most common cause of death in agriculture accidents in Nebraska is overturn from tractors and all-terrain-vehicles (ATVs), said Sharry Nielsen, Nebraska Extension Educator. Tractor and ATV overturn prevention are featured in the class work. “Instilling an attitude of ‘safety first’ is a primary goal of the course,” Nielsen said. "where youth have the chance to learn respect for agricultural jobs and the tools involved." Classes consist of two days of instruction plus homework assignments. Classes are from 8 a.m. 5 p.m. each day. Dates and locations include: -- May 27-28, Fairgrounds, Kearney -- June 1-2, Fairgrounds, Valentine -- June 5-6, Event Center, Lincoln -- June 8-9, Farm and Ranch Museum, Gering -- June 11-12, West Central Research and Extension Center, North Platte -- June 15-16, Fairgrounds, Wayne -- June 17-18, College Park, Grand Island Pre-registration is strongly encouraged at least one week before a location's start date to the Extension Office at the course site.

Dr. Thomson attended Nebraska Wesleyan University, majoring in Biology and minoring in Chemistry. He was also on the pre-med track and graduated from UNMC in 1973. Thomson moved home to Syracuse and had a private practice until 1980, at which time he and his young family moved halfway around the world to India to do medical mission work. After nearly a year overseas, the Thomson family moved home to Nebraska and chose Nebraska City as their home in May of 1981. Thomson has received several awards during his 40-year career, including the Nebraska City Chamber of Commerce Individual of the Year award in the early 1990s and being named the Nebraska Academy of Family Physicians Physician of the Year in 1998. His hobbies include golf, running, basketball, and music. Thomson is the founder of the Nebraska City Apple Corps, a local men’s barbershop group. He also served on the Nebraska City Public School Board for more than 20 years and has organized yearly or twice-yearly medical mission trips to Jamaica for the past 22 years. In 1992, Thomson joined the Army Reserves and has been deployed four times in the past 20 years, most recently in 2012 to Kuwait. Thomson, who is a Colonel in the US Army Reserves, always had mixed feelings about each deployment and the effects of that event on those at home. Dr. Dean Thomson has been an integral part of the Nebraska City medical community and is well respected by his colleagues. According to Dr. Jonathan Stelling, the hospital Chief Medical Officer, “Dr. Thomson has been a great partner and the community has been fortunate to have such a compassionate and dedicated physician for so many years.” Dr. Dean Thomson will be greatly missed by so many within our community when he retires on May 22, 2015. We want to thank him for his many years of service and for all of the lives he has touched throughout his career. okay caree IIt’s t’s ok ay ffor or health heealth car long as tto o eevolve, volve, as long around it rrevolves evolves ar o ound yyou. ou. caree is chang changing, Health car nging i g, and promises omisses tto o change CHI Health pr better. fact, wee it ffor or the bett er.

PHOTO BY NIKKI CARLSON Eight great gardening tips for homeowners Sandy Parmenter sparmenter@ncnewspress.com Now that frost season is past and people are planting or have planted their gardens at home, we asked for some basic vegetable gardening tips from Richard Jauron, ISU Extension Program Specialist, and Sarah Browning, Nebraska Extension Office Extension Educator. 2 Jauron: "Harden plants started indoors or purchased in a greenhouse outdoors for several days before planting them in the garden." 5 Jauron: "When watering is necessary, water slowly and deeply. A thorough soaking once a week should be sufficient." Browning: If using a plastic ground cover to help control weed growth with mulch on top, either use a soaker hose underneath the plastic or a drip system over the top. 1 Jauron: "Before planting the garden, prepare the soil properly. This includes cultivating the area and possibly adding organic matter and fertilizer. Do not attempt to work the soil when the soil is wet." Browning: Adding Epsom Salt is actually an old wive's tale practice in this area, as the soil here is not deficient in either magnesium or sulfur, so using it to help plants grow doesn't actually help. 3 Jauron: "Keep weeds under control with frequent hoeing, hand pulling, and mulching. Excellent mulches for the garden include dry grass clippings, shredded leaves, and straw." 4 Browning: For natural solutions to insect and disease problems, a copperbased solution makes a good fungicide, and insecticidal soaps, horticultural oil, or Dipel/Thuricide, a bacteria that attacks the larval stage of pests, all work well as insecticides. All of these items can usually be purchased at a good garden center. place, and they become more susceptible to disease as they get older at the end of summer. 7 6 Jauron: "Harvest vegetables such as green beans and summer squash as soon as the crop is mature to encourage the plants to continue to produce additional fruit." Browning: Gardeners need to understand that it is hard for the plants to do well through the entire the season if nothing else is planted to take their Jauron: "Rotate the placement of vegetables in the garden on an annual basis." Browning: Garden rotation is smart, but only helps if the gardener has a separate garden space for each plant, otherwise when the ground is tilled it's all mixed together anyway, defeating the purpose of the rotation. Jauron: "Get the most from your garden space by practicing succession planting. As soon as one crop is finished plant another. 8 When cool-season crops, such as spinach, lettuce, and radishes are harvested, replant with snap beans, beets, or summer squash." Browning: Many area gardeners don't realize they can successfully plant three crops in the season here instead of trying to make one crop last all summer. With plantings such as onions and potatoes starting as early as midMarch, another crop could take their place then in late May or early June, lasting about eight weeks, and then another one could be planted. To decide if there is time to plant that last crop, keep in mind that the first frost Thinking about spring cleaning? Don’t forget your car Spring cleaning is a smart thing to do for your vehicles. A few simple steps can help boost your vehicle’s integrity and beauty while maintaining its value, plus you might even regain that new-car smell. 1. Your car is a reflection of who you are: There’s no question your car is a reflection on you. Whether it’s all about horsepower, efficient gas mileage or four-wheel drive, your vehicle represents who you are, where you’ve been and where you intend to go. The design, form and function are extensions of your style and personality. So, if you haven’t given it a wash in a while, what does that say about you? You wouldn’t walk out the door without a shower, a shave and a little spruce up. (Would you?) So why shouldn’t you show that same respect for your car? 2 . Regular car washes protect your paint job: That beautiful factory paint job will dull and begin to chip away if you don’t maintain it. Regularly washing your car and waxing it will help keep your car looking as good as it did when you pulled out of the dealer lot. 3. Professional car washes help maintain the value of the vehicle: You might be more inclined to spend money on engine issues than the car’s exterior, but stains and rusting can drastically decrease the value of the vehicle over time. Especially after a long winter, exposure to the elements can cause damage. Professional car washes at places such as WaterSavers thoroughly clean the undercarriage of your vehicle, where there may be a buildup of road salt that could cause corrosion to the car’s exhaust and muffler system. date in this area is around Oct. 15, count backward from that date the number of days for planting to harvest for the preferred vegetable and add 10 days for cold temperatures and harvesting. A last piece of advice that may come too late for many: don't make the garden too big. While it's true that plants need room to grow and are more productive with enough space, it's easy to overestimate the size of the garden you'll want to work when you start tilling and before the temperature starts hovering at 95 degrees.

DEAR AMY: I have been dating “Steve” for almost four months. He is divorced and has a young child. We are both in our late 30s. Based on conversations we’ve had, I was under the impression we were a “couple,” as we spent most of his nonchild time together. Early on, he told me that in the past his relationships were “open,” but it wasn’t something he actively looked for — they just happened. He said he was looking for a committed relationship. I admired his honesty. However, recently when I pushed for more of a commitment, he informed me that he has been in open relationships with “friends” regularly. Now he seems to be involved with two women. He’s been with one woman for a long time. Both women know about me. He also said a committed relationship can still be an open one. I’ve fallen hard for this guy. GASOLINE ALLEY THE MIDDLETONS Amy Dickinson is a Tribune Media Services national columnist Should I be open to “open?” — Feeling Naive DEAR NAIVE: It is curious that “Steve” defines his choice to sleep with multiple people as an “open” relationship with you. (If you didn’t know about it and didn’t consent to it, it’s not “open.”) I think committed relationships can work alongside almost any other kind of behavior as long as the commitment and the relationship come first. You and he need to define very clearly what the word “commitment” means to each of you. If you want to play with him and other consenting adults, then go for it. Always use a condom with all partners — especially Steve. This sort of arrangement means it’s “open season” for STDs.

Your home can really thrive this year. Give extra attention to planning changes. Make them after June 14. Nurture a romantic spark into a flame after October 13. Make personal discoveries after October 27. Give up something you don’t need that you’ve been clinging to. Grow and develop new capacities. Tend your garden with love and it flowers. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Discipline with a personal project pays off. Take advantage of intense creativity. Write, edit and record. The action is behind the scenes. Taurus (April 20-May 20) —You can solve this puzzle. Have a spiritual and philosophical conversation. Find your own personal truths. Listen to another’s interesting views and experiences. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — A careful work-related investment may be necessary. An important project benefits from your attractive presentation. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Adventure beckons. Don’t dash off yet. The itinerary could change. Jealousies could spark. Luck favors discipline. Stick to your budget. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Don’t make expensive promises. Take one step at a time. Provide clear instructions. Slow and steady wins the race. Someone’s talking about your work. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It’s a good day for agreements. Sift through fantasies and unrealistic expectations to get down to what you really want. Don’t criticize someone else’s choice. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Communicate openly now. Stay objective about a hot topic, if possible. Your personal story can make headlines. Help others understand. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — It’s time, not money, your sweetheart needs. You’re the stabilizing influence. Neither a borrower nor lender be. Keep it practical. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You can find the funding. Let people know what you need. Find treasure with the garbage. Guard against overspending or overeating. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Be gentle, especially when confronting an authority figure. Ask questions respectfully and respond honestly. Resistance is proof that your efforts are making a mark. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — In a stalemate, don’t ask for favors. Hold your temper. There may be a temporary clash between love and money. Guard against losses. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Extend a cooperative hand. Having a meticulous partner helps. You’re in the eye of the storm. Don’t talk back. Keep your wits. Communications clear the air. CALENDAR QUESTIONS?
