Board Passes Bond Issue Resolution
Gene C. Neddenriep, Superintendent
Following a recommendation from a community taskforce
committee, which was formed to study the K-12 facility
needs, the Malcolm Board of Education passed a Bond Issue Resolution calling for a school bond election on Tuesday, September 9 t h , 2008. The issue would be in a principal amount not to exceed $8.3 million for the purpose of
paying the costs of constructing additions to and renovations of the existing school facilities, and providing the
necessary furniture, equipment and apparatus for such
facilities. The committee spokesman, Steve Schmalken,
indicated the committee worked diligently to study the K12 current and future needs. He noted the elementary
and middle school are in the most need of regular and
special education classroom space and significant renovations to the elementary indoor air quality and fire sprinkler systems, are needed. The board is working with the
bonding agency to keep the proposed and current bond
levies less than the original high school issue passed eleven
years ago. Please watch for future articles in the “Clipper”
that will designate times for community information meetings.

Summer Weights
JH Track Finishes Strong
Lisa Baker, Junior High Track Coach
It was a tough season for the Junior High Track Team. The weather
was cold and wet, and we had
strong competition from other
teams. But, there is a happy ending to this story. The athletes consistently improved and we coaches were repeatedly impressed by the athlete’s dedication and
drive. The students pushed themselves to compete well as a team and kept beating their personal
bests; an important skill in an athlete and in life. It
was very rewarding to watch the students push
themselves against all odds. As parents, you should
be very proud of your children. Way to go Clippers!
Malcolm Booster Meeting
All interested parents and patrons
are welcome to become a part of
the Malcolm Boosters. The Boosters support Malcolm athletics
through hosting an annual volleyball tournament, holiday basketball tournament, wrestling invite,
and numerous other athletic events. The money
raised by the Boosters is put back into the athletic
programs of the school. The next meeting of the
Boosters will be Sunday, August 17th at 7:00pm in
the Administration Building. If you have any questions, please contact Kevin Lostroh at 796-2585.
Just a reminder that there is summer weightlifting for all 7-12 grade
athletes. The 9-12 grades are conditioning at 6:30am every Monday through Thursday and the 7-8 graders are conditioning on Tuesday and Thursday at 8:00am.
Football Practice Times
Mr. Amen, Head Football Coach
Football conditioning will
begin on Monday, August
4th. Times will be announced
at Football Camp. Actual football practice will begin on
Monday, August 11th from
3:45pm - 6:45pm with a halfhour break during practice.
There will not be two-a-days as in previous years
due to high gas prices. Rather than have the student-athletes travel to Malcolm twice a day, we
will hold a longer single practice. If you have any
questions, please contact Mr. Amen.
Football Letter Addition
Malcolm sophomore (2007-08) Cody Densberger
lettered in football for the 2007 season. He was

Attention Malcolm Parents
Fourth Grade Field Trip
Jack Tarr, CAA, AD - Troy Pritchett, Assistant AD
Brittany Jennett, Fourth Grader
This letter is to bring to your attention
something you can do for your student athletes and the Malcolm athletic programs.
The Malcolm Boosters help promote athletics and help the athletic department raise
money for equipment that may not be able to be budgeted for. Over
the past two years, this group has raised and given to the school
over $30,000 worth of equipment for the weight room, track, football, basketball, wrestling, volleyball and other programs.
On April 23rd, the fourth graders went to the Museum
of Nebraska History, Morrill Hall, and the State Capitol.
We need your help. The parents that are on the board and run this
organization have juniors and seniors - thus, they will be leaving the
program in the next couple of years. This means we need your involvement. We need you to serve on the Booster Committee, attend
monthly meetings, and help with Booster activities. Some of the
events that the boosters sponsor are:
Host Volleyball Tournament
Run Cross Country Invite
Football Chain Gang/Clock
Host Wrestling Invite
Host Track Invite
Clock/Book/Lines for volleyball games
Run District/Conference Meets
Host Holiday Basketball Tourney
Clock/Books for basketball games
Host Athletic Banquet
Why do they do this? We have one of the best facilities in the state
for a Class C-2 school. It takes a lot of hard work, time and energy
to put on a program like Malcolm has. If you want to continue this
program, we need your help. Please consider this an invitation to
become active in the Boosters.
We would like to invite you to join us on Sunday, August 17th at
7:00pm in the Administration Building. As AD’s of the school, we
are asking for your help next year - and the years beyond. Please
help keep this program the great one it is!
“You may be disappointed
if you fail,
but you are doomed
if you don’t try.”

Museum of Nebraska History
The Museum of Nebraska History was the first stop
of our field trip. We got to see a buffalo skeleton, touch
the buffalo and things that are made from it. There was
a sod house that was made in the 1880’s. We were able
to go inside and see things that would be in a sod
house. It was very dark and just one room. A string
was used to close the door.
They had a general store made to look like one that
was in Seward, Nebraska. They had a windmill on one
of the displays. Windmills were used for pumping water. When the wind blew, it would turn the pump below
it to bring up the water. There was a big picture of
Nebraska on the ground. We found where we live and
where Malcolm is. It was a great place to be!
Morrill Hall
There is a big mammoth in the front entrance of the
building. It was founded in 1922 in Lincoln County,
Nebraska. There were games to play, like a game that
had a magnifying glass and you would have a little scoop
and under the magnifying glass you could see what
you picked up in a big picture. I played a game that
you pick a country and find things in the ground.
State Capitol Building
We walked in and went through
the Hall of Fame. The images
were leaders of Nebraska some we knew and some we
didn’t know. Our tour guide
showed us the ceiling and floor.
They were made out of marble.
For example, the floor had pictures of ladies doing different
types of jobs. We got to lie
down on the floor and see the
ceiling that had pictures of symbols. A little bit below
the ceiling were pictures of pioneer families. We went
to the Supreme Court Room where the seven judges
make their rulings. This is used during the first week of
each month.
Thanks to MPTO for funding part of this trip.

Summertime - Activity Tips
Have you planned activities to keep your teen busy this
summer? Research shows that teens who are involved in
constructive and adult-supervised activities are less likely
to use drugs. Following are some creative ideas to engage
your teen in summer fun:
• Plan a supervised camping trip with friends
• Take a trip to a free museum or public zoo
• Visit colleges on-line or plan a college trip
• Volunteer at least once a week
• Take a dance or cooking class-learn a new skill
• Train for a sporting event, like a triathalon
• Become a mentor or camp counselor

Malcolm won their first State Cross Country Championship in 1988! Twenty years later, I would like to
invite you all back to Malcolm for a Cross Country
Reunion. I hope this event will allow us to reconnect
with old teammates and meet individuals that have
carried on the tradition of excellence over the last 20
years.
This year’s
C r o s s
Country
season will
kick-off
with a time
trial at
Branched
Oak Lake on Thursday, August 28th at 6:00pm. The
traditional picnic will follow. If any of you have the
old TEAM shirts, bring them for display or wear them
to the time trials. I would like to organize those who
can participate into co-ed teams. We will participate
in the picnic following. Friday night the football team
kicks off their season at home at 7:00pm. Come out
and cheer on the Clippers! If you haven’t been by the
school in the past few years, you will want to check
out the new stadium and all-weather track.
On Saturday or Sunday, it would be great if we could
have some sort of barbeque or banquet. In order to
plan for this I will need to know how many are interested. If you could e-mail me with your interest at:
malcolm.harriers@gmail.com that would give us a
head count. Families are welcome and encouraged to
join in these events.
This could be a lot of fun and I hope you can all
make it!

Minutes – Board of Education
July 17, 2008 Special Meeting
The Board of Education, School District 148 of Lancaster County, Nebraska met in Special Session on Thursday, July 17, 2008 at 6:00
PM at the district Board Room, 10004 NW 112th St, Malcolm, to receive, review, consider and take all necessary action on the K-12 Facility
Study and recommendations submitted by the Facilities Taskforce Committee. Notice of this meeting was provided by posted notice on July 11,
2008 in five public places. The following Board members were present for this meeting: Michelle Bice, Donald Densberger, Keith Groeling,
Cheryl Lindner, Kevin Lostroh and Craig Vanderkolk. Superintendent Gene Neddenriep was present as were nine community members of the
Taskforce Committee, Pat Phalen of DLR and Cody Wickham of D.A.Davidson & Co. President of the Board, Don Densberger called the
meeting to order at 6:00 PM and noted that the Open Meetings Act is posted on a bulletin board on the North wall of the meeting room.
Pat Phalen of DLR began discussion by thanking the members of the Taskforce Committee. Steve Schmalken of the Committee then
reviewed the process the Committee used in their study and the various factors they took into consideration in determining the needs of the
District. Ultimately, the Committee made a recommendation to the Board of Education calling for a Resolution for a Special Election in Lancaster
County School District 148 on September 9, 2008 for a bond issue not to exceed $8.3 million dollars. Mr. Phalen then reviewed some details of
the facility study and recommendation, including renovation of the HVAC system in the elementary school to alleviate the Indoor Air Quality issue,
and the costs of such as well as the addition of some new classrooms, a new elementary reception area and moving some special use rooms to
the outside perimeter of the building for easier access by the public. Cody Wickham discussed financing of the bond issue and suggested a bond
payment schedule which would lessen the impact of a bond levy until the current bond issue has been paid off. He indicated the bond issue could
be structured to level the tax levy so future residents would pay more toward supporting the school. It was noted that the combined issues would
have a lower tax levy than the high school bond issue did initially.
After further questions and discussion, Craig Vanderkolk moved to accept the Facility Taskforce Committee recommendation and
introduce a Resolution (copy of which is attached to the minutes on file, and herein included by reference.) calling for a Special Election in the
Malcolm Public School District on September 9, 2008, for a bond issue not to exceed $8.3 million dollars. Keith Groeling seconded the motion.
With no further questions, vote by roll call was as follows: YES – Bice, Densberger, Groeling, Lindner, Lostroh and Vanderkolk. NAYS – none.
Motion 7-2008-71SP passed.
Groeling moved for adjournment, seconded by Lindner. By voice vote - all voted in favor. Chairman Densberger declared the meeting
ended at 6:56 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Dianne Y. Kleist
