Meet Sally Juilfs
Nebraska City Community
Foundation Fund Advisory
Committee Member
One of the goals of the Nebraska City Community Foundation Fund (NCCFF) is to invest in people. This is the next
in a series of “Getting to Know
Your Nebraska City leaders”
serving on the Fund Advisory
Committee (FAC). All FAC
members are volunteering their
time and covering their own
expenses for meals, travel, etc.
In an effort to showcase how
they "lead by example", read
more here about their leadership within your community
and their dedication to the mission and goals of the NCCFF.
Next up, meet Sally Juilfs!
SALLY JUILFS
1.How long have you served
on the Fund Advisory Committee (FAC) and why did you get
involved?
I have been an FAC member
for almost two years. I was invited
to attend an informational meeting by Paul Madison and felt
this foundation would be an avenue for me to contribute to the
people of Nebraska City. Sometimes all it takes is “the ask”.
the goals of the group.
It is also very exciting to see
our Young Advisory Committee
(high school students) begin to
understand philanthropy and
how giving back to your community is fulfilling and rewarding.
Watching the young adults
working and communicating
with residents of the nursing
facilities in Nebraska City could
only bring active hope into our
future.
The dreams of our foundation
will be carried into the future
by the youth of today.
2.What are some of the things
you are most proud of when it
c o m e s to t h e w o r k t h e F A C
does?
I am proud of our small group
of people pulling together, sharing ideas and striving to make
this a better place to work and
live with our families.
The Nebraska City Community Foundation Fund’s mission
is “invest in people” and I feel
this foundation honesty tries
to accomplish that.
Every member actively shares
their talents and time achieving
3 . H o w w o u l d yo u s a y y o u
personally invest in the people
of Nebraska City?
I believe in giving back to the
community in which you live
and work. Nebraska City has
been a wonderful place to raise
our children to become thriving
adults.
I volunteer my time with a
couple of different organization
within Nebraska City. Statistics
tell us 62.5 percent of all Americans engage in some sort of
volunteering in their community.
CHAD LARSON, CIC
Certified Insurance Counselor
HEALTH INSURANCE Special Enrollment Periods now
available for Life Changing Events: •Loss of Coverage
•Marriage/Divorce
•Births
•and many more!
Without volunteers we would
be unable to provide many of
the programs and services our
community utilizes daily.
4.Tell us a little more about
yourself … what you do, your
family ...
I am the president of the Ambassador Wellness Center and
with my husband Tim, we also
own four nursing homes: The
Ambassador Nebraska City,
Omaha, Lincoln and Sidney,
Iowa.
We moved to Nebraska City
in 1978 from Ellis, Kansas. Tim
and I have three adult children
Amber, Tyler and Capri and we
also have five grandchildren.
Our son, Tyler is the administrator of the nursing facility
in Nebraska City.
I enjoy spending time with
our grandchildren, sewing, gardening and traveling.
5 .Wh y s h oul d o th ers ca re
about the work of the FAC and
why do you encourage others
to invest time, talent and treasure?
Hopefully the foundation will
inspire others to seek changes
where needed, give purpose to
all our lives and be authentic
to our cause.
I would encourage my family
and friends to get involved in
the FAC whether they bake,
create or give financially, it is
rewarding.
Everyday I meet people with
an enormous amount of talent,
but maybe not enough time in
their day, then again we all
know people that can help financially or have the time to
volunteer their time.
The FAC needs all types of
people and personalities to help
create a bright future for all the
people in our community. Every
donation helps whether it is one
penny or many it all adds up.
NC’s flag
reaches
permanent
display
Tammy Partsch
Special to the News-Press
An American flag that traveled
to small towns all across the nation,
including Nebraska City, is now part
of a permanent display aboard a
naval amphibious assault ship.
In May 2014, Larry Ross, a retired
schoolteacher, and Richard Sassaman, a photographer, began their
journey from their home state of
Maine with an American flag. The
duo spent the next five months crisscrossing the United States, unfurling
the flag in at least one town in each
state and photographing it to document their visit.
By September, they reached Nebraska City and stopped by Arbor
Lodge.
Joel Lundak was working as a
docent that day, wearing his 1880s
period clothing.
“It was late in the afternoon of
what had been a slow day,” Lundak
recalled.
See FLAG, page A6
Sales Tax increase
goes into effect
The Nebraska City sales tax increased as of April 1, 2015, to help
defray the cost of the city’s soonto-be constructed aquatic center.
The current sales tax for Nebraska
City is 7.5 percent with the tax
breakdown being 5.5 percent state
sales tax and two percent city sales
tax, up from 1.5 percent.
Once the bonds for the aquatic
center are paid, the city sales tax
will revert to 1.5 percent.
ADVENTURES OF THE MUSEUM GUY
River Country Nature Center
celebrates 40-year milestone
Museums celebrate anniversaries all of the time.
Usually they commemorate an event or era connected to their mission.
However, as is in the
case of the River Country
Nature Center, the anniversary celebrates the
museum itself.
This year is the 40th anniversary of the founding
of the Nature Center by
Joe Voges.
Created as a United
States Bicentennial project,
the Nature Center was
originally housed on the
second floor of the retired
city hall/ fire department
building on North 6th
Street.
This year also marks the
tenth anniversary of the
Center in its current location of 114 South 6th Street
One of the events commemorating the anniversary will be a membership
and supporter reception
on April 16.
While celebrating the
Center’s mile stone, the
event will also be the opening for the temporary ex-
BRIAN VOLKMER
hibit; Nature from Nature the exhibit features
the chain saw carvings of
local carver Mike Riege.
The exhibit will be on
display until July.
Another event is the
Center’s second annual
Youth Fishing Clinic held
Saturday morning, May 2,
at Steinhart Pond.
Experienced fishermen
are volunteering their time
to teach eight to twelve
year olds how to set up
their gear, what bait to
use, casting, water safety
and fish identification.
WOTA menu April 3-10
April 3: Oven baked chicken, baked potato, corn, fresh fruit and veggie bar,
dessert.
April 6: Beef soft taco, refried beans, fresh
fruit and veggie bar, dessert. (WOTA
board meeting)
April 7: Pulled beef on a bun, mac ‘n’

fresh fruit and veggie bar, dessert.
Fishing poles will be provided by the Nebraska

The program is free of
charge.
However, registration is
required.
There is only room for
twenty-four youths.
Registration forms are
available at the Nature
Center, Morton James
Public Library, and the
Nebraska City Tourism
and Commerce.
These are both great opportunities to enjoy what
the Nature Center has to
offer.
Though he has passed
away, it would be easy to
think that Joe Voges would
be pleased at the opportunities created by children
and the efforts of the museum that he created forty
years ago.
IF YOU GO

Street.

In the 11th century, the
Roman Catholic Rite required that "either on the
altar or near it, there is to
be a cross, with the figure
of Christ crucified upon
it…to call to mind for the
faithful the saving Passion
of the Lord." (General Instruction of Roman
Missal).
This is to remind us in
the 21st Century that
Christ died on the cross for
the redemption of all who
believe.
The greatest story ever
told happened 2,000 years
ago when the Roman soldiers nailed Jesus to the
cross.
After his crucifixion, he
was laid in a borrowed
tomb with a large rock in
front of the opening. Was

hope gone with his death?
Did Satan win the victory
over the Christ?
Now read the rest of the
story in St. John 20:11-16
where Mary Magdalene
came back to the tomb
and was weeping.
She did not recognize
Jesus at first, until he spoke
her name. The she turned
and came face to face with
the Risen Christ.
She ran back and told
the disciples, she had seen
the Risen Lord and HE IS
ALIVE.
John 3:17, "For God sent
not his Son into the world
to condemn the world; but
that the world through
him might be saved."

DIARY OF A DAD
Renewal of spring
is resurrection
This week has been beautiful, the sun has been out,
the temperature has been
raising, the trees are starting
to bud, and the grass is
starting to turn green.
This week is also Holy
Week for Christians around
the world. This is the week
where followers of Christ
celebrate and remember the
life, death, and resurrection
of Jesus the Christ.
There is a lot of similarity in these two things.
When the grass starts to
grow, that’s resurrection.
When the trees start to bud,
that’s resurrection. When
the birds start to come back,
that’s resurrection.
When we recognize that
there are things in our life
that are changing and being
made new that’s resurrection.
As a pastor and as a dad I
can’t help but see resurrection. Dictionary.com defines
resurrection as “the act of
rising from the dead; a rising again, as from decay,
disuse, etc.; revival.”
We don’t really think
about resurrection happening in our life, we often miss
them.
We notice a lot of the
deaths, a lot of the losses, but
we often miss the new life.
In the story of Jesus, we
are like the disciples locking
themselves in a house
scared, sad, and lost.
Sometimes, we move out
of that room, we unlock the
door, we venture into, we
live into the new life, but
mostly we just get locked in
the loss.
It happens in small
things, it happens big things,
it happens in most things.
I have noticed it more
and more since I became a
father. That life I had before,
I had kids? That life is dead.
Do I miss it sometimes,
the freedom, the extra money, the time for myself? Sure,
but I would not trade it for
the new life I have as a father.
I even notice it in my
kids. When your child is
first born, they are small
blobs of poop and crying. It
is amazing!
Then they start to crawl
and a whole new life of
chasing after them begins.
Then they walk and you
wish for the time when they
were a blob of poop and
crying.
Then they want to walk
and you wish for that time
when they wanted you to
carry them. Then they start
to talk, they learn new
words, and often they say
things in a funny way, but
even that is temporary.
My daughter has always
been vocal, apparently the
apple doesn’t fall far from
the tree, she has used
words that my wife and I
were surprised someone her
age would know, but her
pronunciation of one particular word always made us
chuckle.
REV. GREG BOLT
When she said the word
“girl” it sounded like “goil”,
no matter how many times
we practiced, it always
sounded like “goil”, and it
was always the cutest thing
you’ve ever heard.
Soon though, she figured
it out and one day, “girl”
sounded like “girl” and no
longer could we smile at
our daughter’s cute little
pronunciation.
We could celebrate and
live into this new life and
new words.
When our daughter started school, our little sheltered world we had created
for our daughter came
crashing down.
Now she interacts with
more kids, kids we don’t
know, and we aren’t there to
pick her up or to comfort her
or to help her through situations.
As a parent, it’s hard
watching your child become
independent, it’s also amazing to hear her stories when
she comes home. When she
shows us all that she has
learned that day or week.
It’s great when we see her
classmates out in town, at
the park, at a restaurant, or
just walking down the street.
You can see the budding
friendships; we can see that
there are things that have
changed in our little girl.
It is amazing and terrifying, it is sad and exhilarating, I am mourning and rejoicing.
I know that my entire life
there will be parts of my life,
ways that I interact with
my kids, things I do, and
places I go that will change.
I hope that I can hold fondly to the memories remembering how we got here,
and step boldly into the new
thing that is happening.
At dinner every night, my
family goes around the table
and shares their high points
and low points of the day.
We call it “Favorite” and
“Not Favorite”.
Here are my “Favorites”
and “Not Favorites” of the
week.
Favorite: I’m excited
about the new Comprehensive Plan for Nebraska City
because I think it will help
us have a conversation about
where we want to take our
beloved city for the next 50
years.
Not Favorite: April Fool’s
Day.
FORT REPORT
Manufacturing jobs returning
to American shores encouraging
This month, a young
Nebraska woman named
Autumn was awarded a
"Women in Manufacturing STEP award" for her
excellence in science, technology, engineering, and
production.
I had the pleasure of
congratulating her for her
hard work and ingenuity
when she visited Washington.
We talked about manufacturing's importance in
providing good paying
jobs that can support families and its role in
strengthening and diversifying local economies.
During our meeting, we
also discussed a promising
trend: "reshoring."
The word “outsourcing”
appeared several years ago
to describe the business
phenomenon of companies shifting manufacturing and other services
overseas.
As more and more industrial products lost their
American branding, the
transfer in manufacturing triggered widespread
alarm.
"Reshoring,” the term
that describes the trend of
jobs returning to America,
is an encouraging pattern
U.S. REP. JEFF
FORTENBERRY
and a great opportunity to
accelerate our economic
recovery.
Our recovery’s anemic
pace has left the middle
class circling in downward
mobility, the working class
struggling for economic
security, and the poor
trapped in generational
stagnation.
Americans are confronting static wages, an
increased cost of living,
and a de-industrialized
market, which has been
further harmed by government overreach impacting the small business sector.
Declining blue collar
earning power amid an
entrepreneurial winter is
disrupting the financial
security of many families.
But we have an opportunity on the horizon.
Manufacturing is central to small business success and to economic recovery.
It has historically been
one of America's—and
Nebraska's—economic
bright spots.
Recently, it has experienced new growth. According to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Nebraska
has added thousands of
manufacturing jobs in recent years.
Many of these jobs are
found in Nebraska's First
Congressional District, in
what I like to call Nebraska's "manufacturing triangle."
The communities of
Columbus, Fremont, and
Norfolk all boast a strong
industrial base rooted in
specialized manufacturing.
A number of factors
contribute to "reshoring."
Wage rates have leveled
somewhat between the
U.S. and other nations,
while the cost of transporting raw materials and
finished products has in-
creased.
Energy costs have
dropped domestically, due
to increased American energy production and the
application of new practices and technology that
increase energy efficiency.
Another new word is
mechatronics, which combines traditional fields of
vocational education with
advanced fields in the digital age: computer technology and engineering.
Community colleges are
beginning to implement
programs in mechatronics, readying young people
for extraordinary opportunities in manufacturing
and empowering them to
use their skill sets to provide high levels of wages
and to create long term
economic stability.
It will be innovative
manufacturers like Autumn, though, who will
help
ensure
that
"reshoring" is not just a
trend, but an important
component of America's
economic recovery.
If we are serious about
rebuilding the "Made in
America" label, the innovation and vision of manufacturing leaders and
small business entrepreneurs in Nebraska offers
the nation a solid model of
how to move forward.
POSITIVE APPROACHES
The art of not giving up
This past week I have
had more than one story
of people reaching out to
me of people just wanting
to give up in life for multiple reasons, many pertaining to an illness they
are suffering from that
are limiting how the world
views them.
Others because they feel
that life is simply too hard,
but ask yourself is there
anything in life that is
easy regardless who you
are?
I believe that our great
creator created each and
every one of us differently but in one aspect we are
all the same and we will all
go through some type of
struggle at some point in
our lives, we are only humans.
Life can’t be joyous
100% of the time, it’s just
a matter how of we view
the situations that are
HOPE CRAGO
thrown at us that matter.
Just because I promote
positivity and optimism
in my life, does it mean I
am going to be like that
100% of my life all the
time, no it doesn’t.
I don’t think anyone can
be that way non-stop 24
hours a day, 7 days a week,
365 days a week for the
rest of your life but I will
pushed aside, but you
have to keep getting back
on the bandwagon and
keep putting in applications and keep getting involved in society and so
on.
Regardless of your situation never give up hope
and never stop moving
forward in the most positive manner that you
know how to.
If something doesn’t
work out like planned,
there was a reason it didn’t work out like it wasn’t
supposed to so don’t dwell
on it and move on to
something different.
Change is a great thing,
if anything I have learned
since I was in my young
teens and have embraced
ever since and loved about
life, change is one of the
best things life has to offer
so embrace it!
make it a mission to try to
live my life that way and
see the positive sides of life
out of each situation as
much as possible instead
of dwelling on the negatives.
When you are not feeling well or people don’t
understand your medical
condition or a loved one’s
medical condition it is
very hard to be in a chipper mood and positive but
you have to try to be because you run your own
destiny.
When it comes down
to it why are you letting
someone who has no purpose to you at all get under
your skin and cause unneeded stress or drama
in your life.

FLAG
From page 1
“I went out to tell them the mansion was ready to close,
but then they said they were here on a special mission
and asked if they could take my picture holding an
American flag in front of the mansion.”
Lundak, who is an Admiral in the Nebraska Navy, said
the men explained the flag would be presented to the
USS America, the United States Navy’s new amphibious troop ship.
“They were pleased the picture would be represent-
ing Nebraska, our historical roots, and reflect ties to the
nation’s history as Paul Morton had served as Secretary
of the Navy under Teddy Roosevelt,” Lundak said. “It
was truly a peak experience.”
After Ross and Sassaman left Nebraska City, they
made their way west.
The final state on their journey was Hawaii, where the
flag was raised over the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl
Harbor.
In October 2014, the flag that had traveled to all 50
states was presented to the crew of the warship USS
America at a commissioning ceremony in San Francisco.
The flag, along with photos taken by Sassamen from
around the nation, is on display onboard the ship.

shows a Braunschweig, Germany, high school student how to aim an unloaded English Enfield Tower rifle,
which would've been used mainly by Confederate soldiers, during a museum tour Monday afternoon. Braunschweig students have toured the G.A.R. museum for three consecutive years. Omaha Sister City Association and German American Society coordinator Carol Stoltenberg of Omaha said Braunschweig and Omaha
are sister cities and Omaha families have hosted the German students for a three-week stay for 31 years.
Likewise, the students of the Omaha host families also get a three-week stay in Braunschweig. The German
students toured other Nebraska City museums and attractions and stayed at the Lied Lodge & Conference
Center overnight. Engel said he enjoys the students' visit because their questions are very "in-depth." The
G.A.R. museum will be open on Saturdays and Sundays from Arbor Day weekend through Oct. 31 from noon
to 4 p.m. Tours are available by appointment.
Region V Services will be open for aluminum can
recycling on Saturday, April 18, from 9 am to Noon.
Residents are invited to clean out all those cans you’ve
been storing over the winter and spruce up for Arbor
Day. A final decision on additional Saturday hours will
be made based on demand. Regular weekday hours
continue to be Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m.
to 3:30 p.m. Region V is located at 808 Eighth Corso in Nebraska City. Call 402-873-3306 for more information.

OPPD distributes about $30.6 million
Staff reports
In 2014, the Omaha Public Power District distributed about $30.6
million to in-lieu-of-tax payments to
the treasuries of the communities
that it serves. Eleven southeast Nebraska communities benefitted from
the payments.
OPPD presented $4,646 to Otoe
County Treasurer Nicki Kriefels
Tuesday at the Otoe County Courthouse. In the previous year, OPPD
gave the county $4,435.
According to an OPPD press release, the payments are based on 5
percent of OPPD's gross revenues
from electricity retail sales in incorporated cities and towns during the
previous year. The funds are distributed among local governmental
bodies within the counties by county treasurers.
"We are happy to present this
payment," OPPD Board member
Fred Ulrich said.
"Our utility's name may have 'Omaha' in it, but we serve a much larger community.
“We are glad to make contributions such as this to the treasurers of
all the counties, cities and school districts that we serve."
The following are the payments
that OPPD has given to each county:
■ Douglas - $24,612,906,
■ Sarpy - $4,585,165,
■ Washington - $639,109,
■ Saunders - $292,589,
■ Cass - $251,197,

Watch Dogs (Dads of Great Students) participants
at Hayward Elementary are being asked to come in
Tuesday, April 7, and welcome students back from
their holiday weekend.
The Watch Dogs are volunteers who sign up to
spend the day and to provide a positive role model for
students at Hayward School at some point during the
course of the school year.
The idea is that the presence of the volunteers will
get the kids excited about returning to school.
On the first day back from a weekend, the kids go
from the gym to their classrooms, music is played, and
high fives are given to get the kids excited about being back in school.
This whole event takes a few minutes.
Participants are encouraged to arrive at the school
at 8 a.m. in the office area.
The program should be completed by 8:30 a.m. If
you are able to attend this event or need more information, contact Lenny Tietz at 402-873-1248.
All Watch DOGS are invited even those who
haven't had a chance to spend a day in school yet.
Nebraska City Public Schools are in the process of
organizing Kindergarten Registration for 20152016. Any child living in the Nebraska City Public

Beatrice museum invites lunar eclipse viewers
The parking lot at Homestead
National Monument of America's
Heritage Center in Beatrice will be
open for early risers to watch a lunar
eclipse this Saturday, April 4.
The parking lot will open at 5
a.m. with the partial eclipse starting
at 5:17 am. Totality happens at 7 a.m.,
and the moon sets at 7:09 a.m. The
Heritage Center sits on a high, open
point and thus will be a perfect
place to view the eclipse.
Lunar eclipses occur when the
Moon passes within Earth's shadow,
also called the "umbra". As a lunar
eclipse begins, the Earth's shadow
first only slightly darkens the Moon.
Then, the shadow appears to "cover"
part of the Moon, typically turning
it a dark red-brown color, the same
effect that causes sunsets to appear
reddish. The color can also be yellow,
orange, or brown in color. This is because different types of dust particles
and clouds in the Earth's atmosphere
allow different wavelengths to reach
the surface of the Moon.
While this April 4 eclipse is con-
sidered a total lunar eclipse, you
would need to be in Alaska to see the
total eclipse. In Nebraska we will experience a partial eclipse, with a
small sliver of the Moon remaining
bright.
Total lunar eclipses are rare only
about one in three lunar eclipses are
total. However, every once in a while,
four total lunar eclipses happen in a
row. This is called a lunar tetrad. This
April eclipse is the 3rd of four
eclipses in a tetrad. The next on will
occur on Sept. 27, 2015.

NC soccer teams fall
by identical scores
Julie Mancini
jmancini@ncnewspress.com
The Nebraska City
soccer teams played
conference
games
against Norris on Monday night, and the outcome was the same for
both teams: Norris 5,
Nebraska City 0.
“We were unable to
connect passes and
compete with the physicalness of Norris,” said
boys’ head coach Jessica Rice.
“We have to be more
aggressive and play the
game with intensity
from the start.”
“We have work to do
but I know we can get
there,” she added.
Midfielder Roberto
Silos attempted two
goals and goalkeeper
Armando Pro had nine
saves in the loss.
“We lost 5-0 and it
was 4-0 in the first
half,” said girls’ head
coach Brian Hoover,
who added that the Pi-
oneers let Norris dictate the style, speed,
and course of play.
“It was another game
in which we got off to
a slow start by allowing
3-0 goals in the first
20 minutes of play,” he
added. “After we settled
in, and performed the
way we can, it was
much more competitive. “
“Goalkeeper Hannah
Mitchel had a very good
game, as did Morgan
Ferraro in the midfield
and Tessa Kinart at forward,” said Hoover.
“I have to do a better
job of getting the girls
ready to play for 80
minutes,” he said. “We
will continue to improve during the course
of the season as we are
far from playing our
best. “
The boys’ team plays
next at Blair at 7 p.m.
on April 6. The girls’
team plays next at Conestoga on Thursday at
7 p.m.

Huskers remain hot
versus Horns, Jays
In front of 7,319 fans,
the largest crowd ever for
a regular-season game between Nebraska and
Creighton in Lincoln, the
No. 18 Nebraska baseball
team concluded its 16game homestand on Tuesday night with a 5-1 win
over the Creighton Bluejays, who entered the game
on a seven-game winnings
streak.
The Huskers are now
22-7 on the year and finished the homestand with
a 15-1 record. The last time
the Huskers notched 22
wins before the month of
April was 2005, when NU
entered April with a 22-3
record.
The crowd of 7,319 was
the 24th largest crowd in
Hawks Field history and
the largest crowd for Nebraska-Creighton game in
Lincoln since 2005, when
8,304 fans watched the
two teams play in the
NCAA Lincoln Regional
Final.
It was also the largest
crowd for a game at
Hawks Field since 2008,
when 8,648 fans watched
the Huskers play the UC
Irvine Anteaters in the
NCAA Lincoln Regional.
Freshman Garett King
continued Nebraska’s
dominance on the mound,
as he went a career-high
8.0 innings and issued
only two hits to improve
to 3-0 on the year.
Jake Placzek led the NU
offensive attack with another great game against
the Jays, going 3-for-5, including a double and his
first career triple.
Huskers-Horns
Nebraska completed a
three-game sweep of No.
16 Texas on Sunday afternoon at Hawks Field with
a 6-2 win.
The Huskers have posted sweeps in each of their
last three weekend series.
Nebraska’s pitching staff
shined over the series, limiting the Longhorns to
three runs on 12 hits in
33 innings of work, including one run over the
first 32 innings of the series. Nebraska’s arms
notched 33 strikeouts,
while issuing just five
walks.
Derek
Burkamper
pitched the win for NU
on Sunday.
The Nebraska City golf team started its season on the road Monday
at Auburn Country Club. Facing
six other teams and the added handicap of a strong southwest wind
that gusted up to 20 mph to start
play, the Nebraska City team finished second overall, and two golfers,
Tom Gress and Kyle Francois,
placed in the top 10 of the individual
standings.
“I was happy with the team score,”
said head coach Scott Kinnison. “It
would have been nice to score a
few lower and win the tournament,
but starting the season with a trophy
is good.”
Kinnison said the team improved
its performance at Auburn from
last year.
“Last year with four of the five
playing down here, we shot 404, so
we improved 35 strokes from last
year,” he said. “The weather being
a lot nicer than last year really
helped.”
“Individually, Tom Gress shot
an 82 and placed second,” said Kinnison. “I thought his back nine score
(38) is the type of score he is capable
of shooting every round. “
Kyle Francois finished in ninth
place with a 92, said Kinnison. “He
really worked hard to improve his
game and this was a career low for
him. I still think he has some lower
scores in him,” he added.
“Aston Crum had a 97 and lost
the tie-breaker for the 10th place
medal,” said Kinnison, adding that
Crum’s score was better than in
previous years.
Loren Steinman had a 98, said
Kinnison. “I think he also can shoot
lower if he can learn to take what
Senior Tom Gress tees off at the Auburn Country Club Monday morning. Gress shot an 82 and finished second in the individual competition

he does in practice to meets,” he
added.
Freshman Braxton Schreiner shot
a 100, said Kinnison. “He struggled
on his first holes, which can be expected in his first competition, and
then settled down and played much
better on his back nine,” said Kinnison.
NC played against Falls City,
Lewiston, HTRS, Southern and
Auburn at Auburn Country Club.
Pawnee City won the team competition with a score of 362, and Brody
Weinmann of Falls City won the
individual competition with a score
of 77.

The Nebraska City baseball team is on a roll, winning their last two games
Nebraska City won 5-3
over Norris in a non-conference game Monday
night. Kestyn Lee pitched
a complete game, giving
up three runs and three
hits.
He walked four and
struck out two, upping his
season record to 2-0.
All of Nebraska City’s
runs were scored without
the aid of a hit, said head
coach Tom Bales.
Norris pitchers issued
nine walks, five of which
led to runs, along with an
error. Brennen Bales was
also hit by a pitch and
later came around to score.
Nebraska City won 7-6
over Archbishop Bergan
in a non-conference game
that was originally called
for weather on March 26.
The Nebraska City team
collected eight hits and
seven runs in the victory
that saw the Pioneers
score five runs in the sixth
to take the lead.
Chris Monaghan hit a
two-run home run, Noah
Kasbohm went 3-for-4
with a double, and Andrew Harrah pitched three
innings to earn the victory.
“Andrew came in and
threw well enough to give
us a chance to come back,”
said Bales.
Nebraska City beat
Bellevue East at home on
Tuesday and was scheduled to play Wahoo at
home on Thursday.
Look for results of those
games, as well as the results of the Pioneers’ road
games at Yutan, Seward
and Omaha Skutt, in a future issue of the Nebraska

Peru State baseball falls to NW, receiving votes
The Northwest Missouri Bearcats
won a one-run and 10-inning decision to snap a nine-game winning
streak for the Peru State baseball
team on Tuesday.
Northwest, which hosted the Bobcats, won 8-7. With the loss, Peru
State’s record fell to 21-8.
The Bobcats will be back in Heart

but Benedictine cannot play on
Good Friday. Going into the doublehaders, the Ravens were 11-17
overall, but were 8-2 and tied for
second in the Western Division of
the Heart of America Conference
and just two games behind the Bobcats. Saturday’s start time is set for
1 p.m.

21-7 mark and winning 17 of their

Dan Kelly, President of CHI Health St.
Mary’s, said the community owes a debt of
gratitude to Dr. Thomson.
“That kind of continuity over the years is
absolutely invaluable in terms of creating a
stable and successful environment for health care,” Kelly said.
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.

SEPTEMBER JOURNEY
Feed sack fashions From flowers to ice cream
and the Madness of March
In the early 19th century, food and farm products were shipped in barrels, but after a few years
those barrels were replaced
by heavy canvas or linen
sacks for transporting animal feed, flour and other
bulk goods.
By 1929 the price had
dropped out of the cotton
market and cotton began
to replace canvas and linen
because it was now less
expensive.
In 1846, with the invention of Elias Howe’s lockstitch sewing machine, it
was easier for farmers’
wives to sew their own
clothing.
Ever resourceful, they
soon recognized the value
of the fabric in those feed
sacks and began to turn it
into everything from
dishrags to undergarments.
Initially the bags were
plain unbleached muslin
so housewives had to remove the brand by soaking
the cotton in kerosene or
rubbing it with salt and
then washing it with lye
soap.
Later Fels Naptha Soap
and bleach were used.
Sometimes the entire label didn’t get removed, but
since the sacks was initially just used for underwear, it didn’t seem worth
the bother.
Occasionally this could
prove embarrassing, as in
the case where a young
lady was strolling with her
boyfriend and tripped and
fell, skirt flying up to reveal
the statement “Southern
Best” printed on her
undies.
Another wife told about
making her husband’s
drawers from a flour sack
with “self-rising” printed
on them.
Feed companies recognized that these women
were re-using the materials they had used in packaging.
They saw a way to sell
more of their products.
They began producing gaily colored cotton sacks,
knowing that it would take
more than one sack to
make a dress or a pair of
curtains.
Women would search
for a particular pattern to
match one she already had,
thus having enough free
material to create what she
had in mind.
By the onset of World
War II, dozens of textile
mills were producing feed
sack fabric and providing
SHIRLEY GILFERT
collectible prints depicting Disney characters or
scenes from movies such as
Gone with the Wind. Some
even produced patterns
that could be turned into
dolls or stuffed toys.
This feed sack fabric remained wildly popular in
the mid –thirties. Almost
every little girl had at least
one dress made from feed
sacks. The really creative
seamstress often designed
her own clothing, creating a wardrobe of original
one-of-a-kind dresses for
very little money. I recall a
friend wearing a dress
made of burlap, lined and
trimmed with red calico
print. Both of these fabrics
came from feed sacks. It
was one of the most fashionable and original dresses I had ever seen.
By the end of the 40’s,
cotton had become more
expensive to produce so
factories started using paper for packaging, and because more women were
working outside the home,
they had less time for making their own clothing and
preferred buying it readymade, rather than sewing
it at home. So the day of
feed sack fashions disappeared.
Flour sacks are still often
used for drying dishes.
Many little girls learned
to embroider by making
sets of dish towels with
days of the week embroidered on them. But very
few women sew and the
price of fabric has sky rocketed. For those of us who
remember the days of
“flour sack fashion,” we get
nostalgic for those “good
old days.”

March has almost run its
course. We’ve enjoyed
watching the basketball
games that have become
associated with that
phrase. Some of them have
been exciting enough to
keep us up past our usual
bedtime – so you know
they were really good ones!
I wish our Nebraska
team would keep enough
spark in some nearby year
to get to the NCAA tournament again.
I wouldn’t even mind if
they didn’t make the Final
Four. Oh, well, we’ll get
‘em next year – or soon, I
hope.
In our family celebrations, our older son, Ken,
celebrated a birthday on
March 28.
I won’t tell you how old
he is but if you are good at
math, you can figure it out.
We brought him home
on our third anniversary
and we will have been married 66 years on the third
of April.
He was born during a
time when hospital and
doctor bills were very reasonable to say the least.
A week in the hospital,
delivery room charges and
everything else produced a
whopping bill of $65.
Dr. Formanack had just
gone up from $50 to $75
for the prenatal care and
delivery. How is that for a
PHYLLIS BUELL
bargain?
Carolyn and Brian’s wedding anniversary was the
25th of March.
I sent both of the celebrants a check big enough
for a deluxe supper at McDonald’s. Can’t beat that,
can you?
Since our wedding anniversary is coming up on
Friday, I had flowers put on
the altar of the church I
have been attending here
in Lincoln.
I had hoped Merle
would be well enough to
come with me, but there
seems to be a recurrence of
flu like illnesses and colds
so we didn’t think it would
be wise.
As I was leaving church
after the service with the
altar flowers, Lynn Erickson Thelen said to me “Do
you want to know a story
about the flowers?”
Lynn is a former Murdock resident and a dear
friend of ours.
My thought was now
what kind of story could
there possibly be about an
arrangement of flowers?
It seems the florist had
delivered them to the
church on Friday evening
and someone noticed one
or more of the flowers
looked a mite wilted. Saturday morning the entire
thing should have been
tossed!
One of the busy “church
ladies” took it back to the
florist.
They were very sorry
about my wilted posies and
this time the result was
spectacular. They were
beautiful and fresh.
Driving back to our
apartment that story reminded me of the ice
cream saga at our wedding 66 years ago.
We had ordered vanilla
ice cream squares decorated with pink ice cream
for a part of the refreshments.
Ralph Greene, the local
druggist was going to pick
them up in Lincoln in the
late afternoon of Sunday,
April 3, 1949.
In those days, freezers
hadn’t been invented yet
for homes and churches.
They were to have been
packed in dry ice to keep
them frozen for the reception.
When Ralph arrived to
pick them up, he thought
the package was too small.
The order for 200 servings
had somehow been misunderstood. There were
two dozen ready for him!
“This will never do,” He
told the clerk. He raised
such a ruckus that they
called workers in to the
plant and somehow got
them made and to the
church on time.
Ralph arrived with the
ice cream just as the ladies
helping with the reception
came downstairs of the
beautiful old Methodist
Church in Elmwood to begin serving.
Today, that whole scenario would not have happened.
The ice cream would
have been in the freezer
awaiting the proper serving time.
But – if, indeed there
was a problem, we wouldn’t have had ice cream, I’m
sure. There would have
been rules and regulation
about overtime, inspections, who was on call, etc.
And, in our real world of
today, he wouldn’t have
been able to pick them up
on a Sunday.
Lots of things have
changed in 66 years, including the couple that
was married that Sunday
evening so very long ago.
At least the stories
haven’t changed, they just
get funnier with the passing of time.
It’s time to think about tornado readiness
Gary Lesoing
Extension Educator
We can never be surprised at the weather we
may have in Nebraska this
time of year.
With 900 F in midMarch, and snow flurries a
few days ago in southeast
Nebraska, anything can
happen. The variable temperatures we have can potentially develop into severe weather, and even
spawn tornadoes.
Each year is different,
and 2015 is no exception.
In conjunction with the 4th
Annual Outdoor Adventure

day so stick around and join the fun.)

We have already had roller
coaster type weather with
extreme high and low temperatures in the past couple of months.
Three years ago we already had had several tornadoes in Nebraska by
mid-April. Two years ago,
many tornadoes in April
and May caused millions of
dollars of property damage
in Nebraska, including
southeast Nebraska.
Last year tornadoes inflicted terrible damage in
several cities and towns,
with Pilger devastated by
the twin tornadoes and a
number of other communities hit extremely hard in
several storms.
We have had below normal temperatures and winter like conditions not too
long ago, but now warmer
conditions are forecast.
It is important for us to
be ready for potential severe weather and tornadoes any time.
We all remember seven
years ago, when Johnson
was hit early in the season
by a tornado and then the
area was hit again later in
the season.

ASK AMY
Online friends ready for more
DEAR AMY: Three months ago, a
young man added me on Facebook.
He had been adding some people
from a certain religious group of
which I’m a part. I accepted this
Facebook friendship, as it is rare to
find friends of my faith.
Turns out he is from the same
country as my father. He thought
I was from his country, too, before
he figured out I am American. We
began chatting about our faith. As
the months have gone on, I have
become fond of him. I’d like to take
this to the next level; my parents
dated long-distance in an eerily
similar way, and I believe I could
handle that. But is it rational to fall
for someone you’ve never met? —
Long-Distance Lover?
DEAR LONG DISTANCE: This
happens all the time. In fact, in
many ways, it’s easier to fall for
someone long-distance because you
are each presenting an idealized version of yourself. I believe that people
tend to be more open about personal
values and actually communicate
better when they’re getting to know
one another at a distance.
There is nothing irrational or
inherently wrong in falling for someone this way — the heart-quickening
GASOLINE ALLEY
THE MIDDLETONS

rush when an email or text comes in
is exciting and affirmative.
However, all of the usual caveats
apply when dealing with an Internet relationship. Verify his identity
through other sources. And if he asks
for a loan or offers you a deal on an
interesting investment opportunity,
run in the other direction.
DEAR AMY: I was surprised at
your answer to “Guilt Trip Central.” This woman quickly planned
a weekend trip with her sister and
other bridesmaids without “clearing”
it with her husband first. Since when
does a grown woman need permission to take a trip? — No Guilt Here
DEAR NO GUILT: This particular
letter writer had a toddler at home.
I think it’s simply good manners to
discuss travel plans with one’s partner before committing to them. This
is not asking permission, but giving
the person who will keep the home
fires burning a “heads up.”

Today’s Birthday (04/03/15):
Fortune shadows you when you
follow your heart this year. Get
playful. Romance comes naturally.
Share for collaborative renewal
after April 4. Roadblocks disappear
after June 14. Adventure, travel and
education entice. A new professional opportunity arises after
October 13. Focus on physical,
mental and spiritual health after
October 27. Explore your creativity.
Do what you love.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — You
and a partner can stir things up
the next couple of days. Practice
improves your luck. Don’t get too
fascinated by yourself.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) —
There’s a heavy workload over the
next two days. Profit from meticulous service. Follow a favorite
recipe. Stay in close communication with loved ones.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Have
fun with friends over the next two
days. Make sure your messages
get through ... communication
breakdowns could slow the action.
Ignore kidding or teasing.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Turn
your attention toward home today
and tomorrow. Replace something
that’s missing. Study your options,
and then take on a beautification
and organization project.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Enter a
two-day voracious learning phase.
The area between right and wrong
could seem fuzzy. Study the situation. Pay a debt.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Make
money today and tomorrow. Postpone an outing until after chores
are done. Power into productivity.
Stash away the surplus.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) —
You’re stronger over the next two
days, and empowered. Get busy,
and avoid idle chatter. Take the
traditional route. Consider the
possibilities
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) —
Begin a two-day retrospective
phase. Pay attention to signs.
Peace and quiet suit you fine...
reflection and meditation find
fertile ground.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) —
Fun with friends is the order of the
day. Distractions and delays could
slow the action, especially at work.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
—Anticipate changes. Don’t talk
about it, just make your move.
Others wonder if you’re ready for
more responsibility. Listen and
watch for hidden benefits.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) —
Conditions look good for travel
and romance. A weekend escape
delights. Make or re-state a commitment. Get into action.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) —
Make a financial commitment
over the next two days. Review the
budget thoroughly first. A supportive partner makes it easier.

Observe food safety
with Easter eggs
Sarah Purcell
Extension Educator
It’s close to Easter, so it’s time for my annual
column on Easter egg safety. One of my most
memorable gatherings was a surprise 40th
birthday party for a friend, which was two
weeks after Easter.
The night before the surprise party, his wife
made deviled eggs for their family using the leftover Easter eggs. My friend never made his
birthday party. He and his entire family were
gravely ill from a food borne illness, which was
attributed to the two-week-old leftover hardcooked Easter eggs.
After Easter, so you and your family can
safely enjoy dyed eggs in food products, follow
the recommendations listed below:
Because Easter eggs are handled so frequently, wash hands thoroughly with warm water and soap before handling eggs at every step,
including cooking, cooling and dyeing. Take advantage of this occasion to teach youngsters
about cleanliness and safe food handling.
Make sure the eggs you color aren’t cracked.
If any crack during dyeing or while on display,
discard them.
Refrigerate hard-cooked eggs in their cartons
if you won’t be coloring them right after cooking. Refrigerate them again right after the dyeing process.
Hard-cooked eggs can maintain quality and
are safe to eat for up to seven days in the refrigerator. Discard after seven days.
- more Discard any hard-cooked eggs that have been
out of the refrigerator for more than two hours,
whether by accident, for a centerpiece, or for hiding. Consider the discarded eggs an inexpensive
craft project or game. Make extra eggs for eating.
Use food coloring or specially made, foodgrade egg dyes. Dissolve the dyes in water that
is warmer than the eggs. Be sure the label says
nontoxic on any crayons, pens, paints, or other
art materials you use.
Use the edible contents emptied from
eggshells immediately in recipes which included mixed yolks and whites, and call for thorough
cooking, such as casseroles, custards, quiches,
cakes, or breads.
You can also freeze the contents for later use.
Frozen egg yolks and egg whites maintain their
quality and are safe to eat for one year. Discard
after one year.
If you have any questions regarding food safety, contact the Nebraska Extension Office in Otoe
County at 402-269-2301.

for Otoe County and Southeast Nebraska. She

Comic books have healing powers
SARA GIBONEY
UNK Communications
KEARNEY - Comics
aren’t just superheroes and
villains meant to entertain
children and young adults.
Comic books graphic novels serve as educational
tools in the fields of medicine, mental and behavioral health, terminal illness and more.
Comics in Medicine and
Teaching: Rethinking
Comics as a Therapeutic
and Educational Tool,
which is April 9 and 10 at
the University of Nebraska
at Kearney, will explore
the educational and therapeutic uses of the comic
book.
Medicine is an art. And
art, in turn, can be a medicine. Think of the physician as an artisan. A diagnosis is part observation,
part testing, and part intuition...and therein lies
the art, said Paul Karasik,
an internationally recognized cartoonist and
teacher. Art as medicinal
therapy is widely understood. But using art to discuss medicine is a fairly
under-utilized.
Karasik will present
The Ride Together: Using
Comics to Speak about
Autism. Karasik co-created City of Glass, a
graphic novel adaptation of
Paul Auster’s book. The
graphic novel was named
TORNADO
From page B3
Two years ago, a tornado hit Nemaha County in May.
Remembering this, the last thing you want to hear is that
tornado season is near!
Unfortunately it is. The climate continues to be ever
changing, and the weather is extremely unpredictable,
so we should be prepared to expect any type of weather this spring and summer.
Temperatures have been fluctuating from day to day
this spring, which can be very conducive to severe weather, including tornadoes.
Are you ready for a tornado? Do you know what to
do if a tornado is headed your way?
With severe weather beginning, it's time to be prepared
for tornadoes.
What are some things we should do to be prepared for
a possible tornado?
First, you need to have a place in your home where
family members can gather if a tornado is headed your
way.
It could be in your basement or else in a center hallway, bathroom or closet on the lowest floor if there is no
basement.
If you are in a high-rise building, go to a place in a hallway in the center of the building, you may not have time
to go to the lowest floor.
Your place of work should also have a tornado plan.
If you are unaware of it, find out what it is.

the listener and the teller.
We are talking about healing from the point of view
of making whole, or settling the mind, not about
magically curing cancer,
said Williams. People affected by illness find solace,
sometimes, in reading
about others' experiences
and people who make
comics about their experiences can find that the
prolonged, intensive act of
making the comic can restructure their own story in
their mind, helping them
to make sense of it.
Williams founded the
Graphic Medicine website
in 2007 and published his
graphic novel, The Bad
Doctor. He is co-author of
the upcoming Graphic
Medicine Manifesto and
has contributed a series of
comic strips to The
Guardian newspaper.
The event will include a
public reception, which
will take place at 6:30 p.m.
April 9 at MONA.
Friday s events begin at
8:30 a.m. with registration in the Fine Arts Building at UNK. The first
speaker will begin at 9 a.m.
This is not just an event
of gabbing experts with
PowerPoint flow charts.
This is comics, said
Karasik, who will draw an
original cartoon for those
who bring a book for him
to sign. Comics are fun to
read. And the audience
will be exposed to the hidden language of what
makes comics fun to read.
Secrets will be revealed.
The event is free and
open to the public. Those
who register will receive a
free lunch on April 9.
Register for the event at

If there are storm warnings issued for your area, listen to your local radio and TV stations for updated storm
information. You need to know the difference between
a tornado WATCH and WARNING.
A tornado WATCH means a tornado is possible in your
area.
A tornado WARNING means a tornado has been
sighted and may be headed for your area. Go to safety
immediately.
If a tornado WATCH is issued, listen to your radio and
TV and be alert to changing weather conditions.
Environmental clues that indicate a tornado may be
developing include: a dark, often greenish sky, a wall
cloud approaching and large hail. Blowing debris may
also be a sign of an approaching tornado.
People say a tornado sounds like a freight train. If a
tornado WARNING is issued go to the safe place you
picked to protect yourself from glass and flying objects.
If you are outside, hurry to the basement of a nearby sturdy building or lie flat in a ditch or low-lying area.
If you are in a car or mobile home, get out immediately and head for safety as described above.
After the tornado passes, watch out for fallen power
lines and listen to the radio for information and instructions.
Use a flashlight to inspect the damage, never use candles! A gas line may have ruptured, leaving highly combustible natural gas or propane in the area. The most
important thing is to be prepared for a tornado and don’t
take the threat of a tornado lightly.
The destruction and devastation from tornadoes can
be unbelievable.

one of the best comics of
the 20th century by The
Comics Journal. With his
sister, Judy, he created
The Ride Together, a
Memoir of Autism in the
Family, which won the
Autism Society of America’s Best Literary Work of
the Year award.
The comic book in its
modern form first appeared in the 1930s. It was
not long before the form’s
educational potential was
used in Classic Comics
#1, a 1941 adaptation of
The Three Musketeers.
Comics aren’t just for
young or reluctant readers,
they have grown since the
1980s into a very sophisticated literary medium as
well, said Susan Honeyman, English professor at
UNK. They also can contain layered perspectives
and information, as they
utilize both words and images, offering multiple narratives.
Dr. Ian Williams, a
physician, comics artist
and writer from Brighton,
UK, will give the keynote
address. He will present
Graphic Medicine: Improving Health Communication Through Visual
Storytelling at 6:30 p.m.
April 9 at the Museum of
Nebraska Art.
Comics tell stories, mostly, and stories can heal.
Old time shamanic healers
knew that. Stories can heal
