The Plainview City Council ap-proved the 2014-2015 budget on thefirst hearing, tabled an electrical rateincrease and scheduled a specialmeeting to discuss employee wagesfor the new year at its Septembermeeting on Tuesday, Sept. 9.

City Administrator Michael Holtonpresented the new year’s budget forthe Council and the public hearing,and City Accountant Mike Pommerexplained the figures and changes forthe year.

The Council had reviewed thebudget and all the changes at a work-shop held earlier, and had no changesto the presented information.

According the to budget paper-work, and Pommer’s analysis, theCity budget (including the PlainviewManor) will hold within about$400,000 of last year’s total, increas-ing to just more than $6 million intotal expenditures.

Pommer said that $400,000 in-crease was split about half and half

between the City and the Manor,which, when paired with the City’slower valuation this year, created a taxasking of around $239,000.

Pommer also said that the City ofPlainview currently has about fourmonths of expenses in cash reserves,or about 33 percent of the 50 percentof the total budget that is allowed insavings.

The Council heard one commentduring the hearing from Brook Cur-tiss about electrical rates paired withincreases, and the topic was also dis-cussed later during the electrical rateincrease discussion.

The Council approved the budgetunanimously, Council member JoeGrof absent.

Following a bit later on the agendawas a request from City Administra-tor Holton to increase electrical rates8 percent in the next billing cycle toadjust for costs passed down from thepower supplying companies.

Holton said that this increase,

would make for the last five years a32 percent increase total. Startingwith a 24 percent increase over threeyears, which actually stretched overfour years with one year blocked forincreases, to “get caught up in cost.”

This latest 8 percent was proposedfor the same reason, as the powercompanies are charging more for elec-tricity, so the rates will continue torise on the consumer end.

Holton said he would be in favor ofa resolution that would automaticallyraise rates every time an increase incost was discovered, but the Councildecided to table the issue and lookinto area rates again to see wherePlainview falls in competitiveness atthe October meeting before decided toincrease rates.

With one last budget-oriented dis-cussion, the Council scheduled a spe-cial meeting on Tuesday evening,Sept. 16 to review increasing wagesfor the new year.

In other business the Council:* Heard that the Plainview Manor

had made final arrangements on thefacility’s bond for its latest construc-tion, and would be holding a “bondburning” on September 25;

* Approved extension paperworkfor the CDBG housing rehabilitationgrant program;

* Discussed sale of two lotsthought to be owned by the City, dis-covered they were not, and agreed tohave the City’s available property andrest of the nuisance property land“finished off” so that all the lots couldbe sold at public offering at a laterdate. There are still currently five orsix lots that are available for salearound town, inquiry can be made atthe City offices.

Natalie Lingenfelter poses in front of part of her display for the Historical and Depot Museum.

A local Girl Scout, Natalie Lingen-felter, has made significant progresson her Gold Award project, chroni-cling and creating a display of themovie “Nebraska” for the PlainviewHistorical Society.

Alongside that project, Lingenfel-ter is in need of interviews, memora-bilia and donated items that can helpfill out the display.

Thus far, she has received a num-ber of donations, including:

Todd and Sharon Diedrichsen weregenerous enough to donate the bus

bench, prize winner t-shirts, prizewinner seat cushions, and prize win-ner certificates. Joe Grof donated aprize winner cap just like the oneWoody wore in the movie. TheHawthorne population sign was pur-chased with funds from the keynotegrant. The sign is a replica of the orig-inal and was purchased from LoveSigns out of Norfolk.

The next step in Lingenfelters’sproject is to interview locals who hada part in the movie or worked with themovie crew. The interviews will take

place at the museum during the nextfew weeks.

Lingenfelter is still in need of pho-tographs taken by the residents ofHawthorne. She can be reached byphone at (402) 582-4748 or at 208North Elm Street Plainview, NE68769 or by e-mail atnatalieling@live.com.

This past week, visitors from localcommunities got a sneak peek at thedisplay. They had fun sitting on thebus bench and getting their phototaken in Hawthorne.

Department ofRoads reminds ofthe rights-of-way

Earlier today my organization lostone of our own photographers, Re-becca Kroeger, in a car accident inMinnesota. For someone who hasbuilt a career on writing, I can tell youit has never been more difficult to findthe right words to express our sadnessand to describe who Rebecca was as aperson.

There is no way to accurately de-scribe her vibrant personality andwillingness to help anyone she could.Nothing scared her, and she took theworld by storm every chance she wasgiven. I have never been more proudof anyone I have ever had the chanceto meet.

That, I can tell you, is the most dif-ficult part of today. I feel so incredi-bly honored to have had the chance tobe a part of this young lady’s life andto get the chance to see her grow up infront of my very own eyes.

I had the privilege of meeting thisbeautiful woman just after her junioryear of high school as her counselorfor South Dakota Girls State Journal-ism City. Girls State brings highschool women from across the state toparticipate in a mock government,while young journalists put together adaily newspaper for coverage of theweek-long events.

Rebecca walked in that Monday af-ternoon, and I instantly knew she wasvibrant, young, passionate and an

overall incredible individual. Her owncamera in tow, she came prepared tobring her craft to everyone taking partin our program — taking hundreds ofphotos at every single event that week.

I can also tell you everyone on mystaff felt the exact same way abouther. It is never easy, as an individualor an organization, to hear such heart-breaking news, and telling my staffwas the most difficult thing I haveever done in my entire life.

I could see in each of their eyes asthey welled with tears a heartbreak Icannot describe. Ask anyone whoknew Rebecca, and the first thing theywill tell you is how vibrant her spiritwas.

When I think of Rebecca, I think ofjust that — a creative, talented womanwho was so gifted in her ability tocapture photos and create beautifulimages. Her Instagram, Facebook andTwitter were all full of her passion.She lived and breathed art and pho-tography.

But with that privilege of knowingsomeone so special comes the greatresponsibility of honoring her mem-ory in any way possible. I can onlyhope as I grow as a person I exudehalf of her spunk, her beauty, her kind-ness and her creativity. Each andevery day is a gift, and if everyonelived life as full as Rebecca’s, thisworld would be the most beautifulplace.

Rebecca will be missed by many,not only at The Volante and GirlsState, but in the state of South Dakotaand the campus of USD.

It’s Getting to be Election Time!

Destiny?I’ve never really understood the need for everyone to feel like they’re spe-

cial or distinct and different from everyone else.When I was younger, everyone always encouraged me to make goals - to

make lists of things I could dream about and then work toward making thosethings reality.

While attending meetings as an older person, I find myself often sayingthat ‘we’ need to stop being reactive, and start being active in the decisions andmovements we decide to take.

Are you seeing an odd pattern here?Self-fulfilling prophecy has always been an interest of mine. There are mul-

tiple mental issues that make people believe that just because they’re com-fortable with something, they’re actually a part of it - something along thelines of the Stockholm Syndrome, no doubt.

Lately, with the advent and movement of Facebook into our every day lives,many of these “apps” can be found - “What’s your perfect profession?” “Whatcolor are you?” “How many parts cupcake are you?”

All sorts of really redeeming things.One of my favorites falls into the numerology category - taking your name

and exchanging the letters for a number value and then using those numbersto make something else, or perhaps choose random things from a list to makea new name. Something like that.

What it really amounts to is a new, digital version of MASH or that gamewith the paper that folds a few different ways like a flower and you pick your“destiny” from whatever flap you happen to land on.

Partially, we do this for entertainment, but then you find those people thatreally believe in astrology or your fortune cookies or some such stuff.

For all the times that something like that really works out, there are liter-ally hundreds of times it does not work out. So I’m not really sure why peo-ple place so much stock into it.

Myself? I’m a much more reactive person.I see a situation, and decide how I’m going to react. I enter into a problem

and solve it along the way. I’m more of a “go with the flow” type person thana planner and/or goal setter.

I suppose that makes me rather un-motivated, but I’m having fun workingmy way through things, so I don’t really bother to notice.

My birthday, for instance, falls on Constitution Day. My dad’s birthday falls on Flag Day.My wife’s birthday is on the Summer Solstice.My anniversary falls directly between my sister and mother’s birthdays.All those things, in my desparate attempt to find self-worth, must mean

something. They can’t all just be random!When I couple the above with the fact that I was born in an even year, my

daughte was born exactly 25 years later and my son’s birthday is two days be-fore Thanksgiving (just close enough to eat 3-4 times) I must solidly concludethat my life has meaning and worth and value and I can now sleep at night andconcetrate during the day into being the best I could ever imagine to be.

The problem is, I can’t imagine attempting to find worth that way.I don’t swing the other side of the gate so far as to say that everyone is in-

trinsically valuable. There are some people in our society that are hamperingrather than helping.

One part of “destiny” that I can never reconcile all the way is that of the ex-istence of “hope.”

True hope doesn’t depend on your frame of mind or if you’re happy or not.It doesn’t depend on having experienced some horrific series of events. Hopeis generated from something beyond ourselves - but it rubs directly againstwhat everyone else believes about destiny.

I can sit around and wait for the world to fall in my lap, or I can work hardto change it. I can wait for the government to feed me, or I can work to changemy situation. I can be uncomfortable and uncontent with every situation I’veclearly gotten myself into and become a grumpy old man, or I can work tochange it.

Education about hope has to be one of the biggest things we are lacking inour world today. “Teaching a fisherman to fish” is a very similar line of think-ing.

Would you rather have a handout or have someone show you how to getyour own?

Since today is Constitution Day, will you rise up and regard your rights andliberties, or will you allow someone to tell you what they are?

Will you take my word for it, or will you do your own research?Everyone cares about something, and I find it fascinating to determine what

it is, and not why they care so much about it, but why they don’t care aboutthe same things I do. It’s probably my “destiny” to find out.

I love informing people and watching what they do with the truth. Fasci-nating stuff.....

November is not too far around thecorner.

This means that the ballots will beflying and that issues will be decidedin the election. It is exciting to me asthe local elections have several issuesto be decided. Let’s start with the bondthat is being proposed for the new li-brary.

The way thelanguage is set upit shows that thequestion will readthat the bond of$500,000 be ap-proved for thebuilding of a newlibrary using prop-erty tax dollars ifthe money is notraised by retail

sales tax. The reason that the language was

used like this was to ensure that the citywould cover the amount owed eachyear. The payment on the bond will beapproximately $33,000 and the retailsales tax which was passed by the voteof the people is running close to$36,000 in collection a year for the li-brary. Here is the straight facts regard-ing the issue on the ballot.

You do not have to vote for the bondnor are you forced to. The facts of theissue are that you have already passeda sales tax that is collecting money aswe speak for the construction of a newlibrary. Construction costs on a libraryare not going to go down each year asthe money is being collected. Thereare also several grant applications inthe works for the building of a new li-brary and it is possible that the full$500,000 may not be needed. Simplefacts are that the bond will not increaseyour property tax based upon the cur-rent situation. Could it change in 15-20 years? Sure, it could but so could alot of other things.

If we can get retail sales tax to in-crease over the next 15-20 years wemay not be even discussing this. Now,the question becomes if we need a newlibrary? My advice to all citizens whoquestion this is to go to the current li-brary and take a look and then formyour own opinion.

The second question on the ballothas to do with the LB840 issue. It israther simple in that it is a detailed planthat lays out what the economic dollarsthat are currently being gathered can beused for.

Once again, as citizens of Plainview,you have already passed an economicdevelopment retail sales tax and this

issue simply points out how the dollarscan be spent and who has the authorityover it. The straight facts of this issueare simple as well.

You can choose to not pass this issueand the money will continue to be col-lected without any purpose or you canpass the issue and have a say in the pur-pose. If you are interested in seeing theLB840 plan and how it will work youcan go to Plainview’s website and lookit over and form your own opinion.

As public officials we are bound bylaw to neither support nor go against anissue on the ballot but to deliver thefacts. Sometimes issues can be con-troversial in nature like school bond is-sues, fluoride treatment, election ofcandidates to public offices, overridingthe levy to collect more taxes but nei-ther of these issues are that.

The last issue to deal with are thevoting of the candidates.

These are varied and determine pol-icy for several boards. Elected officialsare the voice of the people no matterwhat else is said. Vote on the candidatethat will execute policy based upon thewill of the citizens of the communityor region.

The one area that has always beenweak is the will of the people beingdictated by a vocal minority while thesilent majority complains. Candidates

have agendas which is proper andcommon but they should not be drivenindividually by guiding self-interests.If you are unsure what those interestsare, ask the candidate. They may notbe in favor of items that you want tosee addressed or not addressed.

Local elections are at the root ofdemocracy and too often they are notexercised to their fullest ability. Getregistered to vote if you have not al-ready registered and make sure to voteyour conscience regardless. If you areunsure of some of the issues, feel freeto call the candidates or call me at thecity office if you need something to beexplained in greater detail.

The bottom line is it your vote andyour decision. Make the most out ofit.

YOUR VIEWWriting letters to the editor is not re-

ally my forte and something I have notdone in the past but we have a very im-portant issue coming up on the ballot forthe citizens of Plainview on November4, 2014.

The LB 840 plan requires a vote ofthe people of Plainview which will de-termine the future of economic develop-ment as well as the social benefit ofliving in a smaller community. This votewill decide if we are to thrive on thegood things that can happen to us if weput forth the effort or live in the some-what same old rut we tend to do so eas-ily.

The LB840 plan will give the Plain-view area many more economic devel-opment opportunities then we presentlyhave. This will give us an economic de-velopment plan and strategy to use forour future direction.

You can read the plan in its entiretyon the City of Plainview website or get

a copy in writing if you wish. The fund-ing of this program has already been es-tablished by the voters of Plainview byproviding a portion of the sales tax.

This plan will not raise the amount oflevied tax on property. We need theguidance of a plan that will address theneeds of the Plainview community.

Approving the LB840 plan will givedirection and guidance to the City Coun-cil and any new members that areelected. Also will do the same for anynew Economic Development Coordina-tor that eventually steps into that posi-tion.

The plan spells out how the funds canbe used under the direction of an Advi-sory Committee with final approvalcoming from the City Council.

As you can see this is a major issuefor the community and a bold step for-ward.

“I know no safe depositary of the ul-timate powers of the society, but the peo-ple themselves; and if we think them notenlightened enough to exercise theircontrol with a wholesome discretion, theremedy is not to take it from them, but toinform their discretion by education.This is the true corrective of abuses ofconstitutional power.”

Thomas Jefferson to William C.Jarvis, 1820

September 17, 2014 begins the na-tional celebration of Constitution Week.

The week-long commemoration ofAmerica’s most important document isone of our country’s least known officialobservances. Our Constitution stands asa testament to the tenacity of Americansthroughout history to maintain their lib-

erties and freedom, and to ensure thoseinalienable rights to every American.

The United States of America func-tions as a republic under the Constitu-tion, which is the oldest document stillin active use that outlines the self-gov-ernment of people.

This landmark idea that men had theinalienable right as individuals to be freeand live their lives under the own gov-ernance was the impetus of the Ameri-can Revolution. Today, the Constitutionstands as an icon of freedom for peoplearound the world.

However, as Thomas Jefferson noted,without education about this remarkabledocument, the public cannot make thedecisions necessary to preserve the re-sponsibilities and rights our Constitution

guarantees.There are many sources available to

promote education about the Constitu-tion. Our public libraries, our localschools, colleges, programs on televi-sion and the Internet are just a few. Readyour Constitution. Learn and understandyour rights and responsibilities.

Without this education, America mayfind that these very important founda-tions of our country are fading away.

An informed citizenry can change thecourse of history and improve the qual-ity of life in our great country.

day, Sept. 12 at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Plainview.P.M.A. Jacquelyn Samway officiated the service and burial was in the Pleas-

ant View Cemetery north of Plainview.Sue Johnson served as soloist for “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” and “Jesus

Bearers were Mark Carpenter, Warren Peterson, Chris Rasmussen, Tony Ras-mussen, Bill Whitten and Gary Johnson.

Military honors were provided by the Plainview American Legion Post #148and Plainview V.F.W. Post #5330.

Darold O. Rasmussen was born on July 8, 1924 at Vi-borg, S.D. to C.O. and Carrie Rasmussen and died Sep-tember 9, 2014 in Plainview.

He attended schools in Viborg and Centerville and wasa member of the 1942 Centerville High School graduatingclass.

He worked then on the farm with his father until he wasdrafted into the U.S. Army in 1945. Following his servicehe briefly returned home to farm and then moved to PortAngeles, Wash. where he worked for two years.

He worked as an automotive parts man in Sioux City andNorfolk from 1948 to 1952.

It was while working in Norfolk that Darold met Ferne Johnson. The cou-ple married on February 5, 1950 at Bethany Lutheran Church and enjoyed 63years of married life. Their marriage was blessed with three children, Daniel,Jolene and Gordon.

The couple farmed for 16 years until they opened Plainview International,which they owned and operated until 1983.

During his years in business Rasmussen developed many long lasting rela-tionships with his customers which he dearly valued. He was active in hisadopted hometown of Plainview and served in numerous organizations and ontheir boards. He was particularly proud of his service on the Plainview SchoolBoard during the reorganization of the Plainview School District. He alsoserved as American Legion Commander, County Commander, on the Board ofDirectors for the Plainview Development Corporation and Chamber of Com-merce and as a member of the Plainview City Council.

He was a man of faith and was an active member of Our Savior’s LutheranChurch.

Ramussen enjoyed working for the betterment of the community and vol-unteered countless hours on projects including the Veteran’s Memorial, addi-tion of the Klown Doll Museum, and the promotion of Plainview and Nebraskawhile wintering in Lake Havasu, Ariz.

He was known as “The Balloon Man” and delighted in twisting balloons forchildren, especially entertaining children with special needs.

During retirement, he liked working on his golf game at the Plainview Coun-try Club with his standing foursome of good friends, Wil Naprstek, Stub Couch-man, and Warren Hoffart. Four of Ramussen’s five “hole-in-one’s” wereobtained at this course. He also gained much satisfaction from his woodwork-ing and carving projects.

Nothing brought Rasmussen more pride and joy than his family and espe-cially his grandchildren who are left with wonderful memories of a devotedfamily man who loved a good laugh and a game of cards.

He was preceded in death by his parents, wife, Ferne, brothers and sisters-in-law Earl and Lorraine Rasmussen, Ray and Iona Rasmussen, sister andbrothers-in-law, Ada and Jim Oakland, Dale Carpenter, and Al Parmenter.

1942 in Council Bluffs, Iowa to Thomas and FrancesGuinan and died September 12, 2014 at her cabin on theMissouri River, after fighting a short, but brave, battle withcancer.

She married Robert Grubbs of Orchard on Sept. 21,1987.

Grubbs was successful at all she did. She owned and rantransmission shops for the last 40 years, but the greatestand most rewarding job was being a grandmother — at thisprofession she truly excelled. Her grandchildren meanteverything to her.

She was a wonderful, caring wife, mother, sister, and friend, and will alwaysbe remembered for her generous and forgiving nature.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her two sisters, Joan Wood andMary Pierce, her brother Lawrence Guinan and a beloved grandson, JakobAdamson.

Bonnie N.L. Grubbs is survived by her husband, Robert Grubbs; daughtersand sons-in-law: Teresa and Marvin Dixon, Kathy and Alan Travnicek andJoAnn and Shayne Jaros; sons and daughters-in-law: Mark Sigler, Ed andMichele Grubbs, Mike and Laura Grubbs, Mark and Lana Grubbs and GreggGrubbs; grandchildren, Joshua Cecetka, Ryan Grubbs, Madalynn Dixon, JohnGrubbs, Lydia Sigler, Will and Emmy Jaros and Adelia Sigler; siblings: Terryand Aneta Guinan, Mickey and Carol Guinan, Johnny and Judy Guinan, Patand Dorothy Guinan and Dean and Lois Kenkel.

Marcus B. Kamrath, 24Funeral services for Marcus B. Kamrath, formerly of Battle Creek, were held

at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Battle Creek on Thursday, Sept. 18.Father Dave Belt served as celebrant, and burial was at the Union Cemetery

just south of Battle Creek.Father Joe Wray served as organist and music was provided by the Kirby

girls.Casket bearers were Kamrath’s cousins, Branden

Stoural, Troy Philpott, Aaron Philpott, Matt Gross, StevenKay, Jason Allen, Ryan Wolken, and Jason Bernhardt. Hon-orary casket bearers were his friends. In honor of Kam-rath’s love for football, the casket bearers will be wearinghis jerseys of his two favorite teams, the Nebraska Corn-huskers and Green Bay Packers.

Marcus Bradley Kamrath was born on September 22,1989 to Marcus Kamrath and Tammi Stoural and died onFriday, Sept. 12 as the result of a car accident in StantonCounty.

He was a member of St. Patrick’s church in Battle Creekand attended school there.

As a Battle Creek Brave, he grew up loving football and was also involvedin basketball, wrestling, and track and he graduated from Battle Creek HighSchool in 2008.

Thanks to the influence of his mother he became a “Cheesehead” at a veryearly age as they were both ardent fans of the Green Bay Packers professionalNFL football team. Although the Packers were forever his “number one” team,he also naturally developed a passion for cheering on the Nebraska Corn-huskers.

In fact, his love for the state’s home team led him to study at the Universityof Nebraska in Lincoln where he not only went to as many Husker games aspossible, he also earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Hospitality, Restau-rant, and Tourism Management this past year.

After serving an internship the previous year at Divots in Norfolk, he natu-rally found himself employed in Sales Management at The Cornhusker MarriottHotel in Lincoln. However, his true love was instilled by his father—getting hishands dirty and working on cars.

This irresistible calling led him to shut the office door and purchase a tool-box and go study Auto Body at the Southeast Community College campus atMilford where he was just finishing up the final touches on his prized posses-sion—a 1981 El Camino he got when he was 16 years old.

In addition to working on cars, Kamrath enjoyed almost anything that in-volved getting dirty— whether that was jumping with four wheelers or racingdirt bikes with his crew of hometown buddies known as the “Pit Bike Ban-dits.”

Kamrath will be remembered by his family for his infectious smile and con-tagious laughter, as well as his heartwarming hugs. He had a knack for quicklymaking friends with anyone of any age, including complete strangers and “did-n’t possess a mean bone in his body.”

He was a natural entertainer and was known for his hilarious text messages,snap chats, and voicemails.

Anyone who ever heard his Harry Caray impersonations or one of his manyjokes enjoyed his natural gift for making others laugh. His zest for life servesas an important lesson for us all to find the positive in every situation and to liveeach day to its fullest.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents: Bill Stoural, Betty Stoural andEarl and Dortha Kamrath; as well as two of his uncles: Bradley Stoural andRoger Kamrath.

Marcus Kamrath is survived by his parents: Tammi Stoural and MarcusKamrath of Battle Creek, and many aunts and uncles including the following:Merlin Kamrath of Battle Creek, Vernon and Janice Kamrath of Laurel, De-lene Kamrath of Omaha, Terry and Tracy Stoural of Battle Creek, Kevin andDiane Stoural of Battle Creek, Vicki Volquardsen and Kelly Fries of Norfolkand many cousins whom he fiercely loved.

In Lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the family for a future des-ignation in Kamrath’s name.

The last scheduled event of the yearat the Plainview Country Club washeld on September 9 with the playingof the fifth Senior’s Two-Man Scram-ble of the season.

The team of Doerr-Sterkel won thefirst-flight with a decent score of 65.There was a tie in the second flightwith the Ralston-Hammer and Shaf-fer-Stelling teams both shooting 71.The 24 aging competitors enjoyedpork steak dinners after their 18 holesof scrambling.

There were roasters full of chilicooked up for the September StagNites, but the men are going to comeup a little short as after only twoweeks, the roasters are empty. Theguys should learn to ration their pro-visions a little better.

There will still be many days ofgood weather in the coming weeks, socome out and enjoy…chili or no chili.

Notice: The high schools girls golfteam will host the annual PlainviewInvite this Saturday, Sept. 20, so thecourse will be closed until mid- or lateafternoon. The girls will also have thecourse at 4 p.m. on the 22nd for a Tri-angular for a couple of hours.

Irrigation tops Club NewsA little recap of the year would

have the installation of the new irri-gation system as #1.

The original fairway irrigationlasted almost exactly 30 years, butwas needing more repairs as timewent on so even though the costseemed high, a new system was cer-tainly needed.

With the diligent work of the Boardmembers, the open wallets of ClubMembers, and the generosity ofBecky and Lance PIttack (providing anew pickup through the WoodhouseDealerships for a raffle) a good sizedchunk of the tab has been paid off.

The Sunday night meals fed an av-erage of more than 50 folks eachweek with the profits going toward

the irrigation bill.More than 550 meals were served

through the summer with the Boardmembers each taking a turn with theKnaak and Michael couples cookingone night the last of August.

The annual Plainview Open provesto be a success year after year, the firstSenior’s Open was held this year inAugust and was a harbinger for a suc-cessful annual tournament.

The flower beds at the front drivesof the club and around the differenttee boxes certainly adds to the beautyof the course. Then, there is the golfcourse itself. Mark Acklie and hisgrounds crew keep the course in beau-tiful shape which makes membershipat Plainview the best bang for a buckin Northeast Nebraska, or maybe thewhole state.

Golf Note: A couple of weeks ago astatistic was cited from the PGA thatpros make only 55 percent of the puttssix feet and less. Johnny Millerpointed out at the final Tour Champi-onship and the FedEx final that BillyHorschel had made 95 out of 95 of his5 foot putts and less. He won$10,144,000 – Billy, not Johnny.

At their second tournament in threedays, the Plainview Lady Pirate golfteam traveled to the Evergreen golfcourse in Battle Creek.

Evergreen is a links course with na-tive grass instead of mown grass oflonger length than the fairways. Eventhough the native grass was played as amodified lateral hazard, it still led tosome high scores, said Coach LarryKnaak.

The only team to have played thecourse was the home team, BattleCreek. O’Neill continued to play wellas a team, as they took their third teamchampionship this season, by defeatingBattle Creek, a team that had beatenthem at Pierce last Saturday.

O’Neill had 388 while Battle Creekhad 407. Plainview shot 474, almost 30strokes lower than their previous bestthis year.

Stephanie Sorensen improved in thestandings from the Pierce meet as shefinished third with a 90. She had a 46on the front nine as two triple-bogiesmarred a round of three pars and abirdie. On the back, she had two doublebogies to go with four pars.

Morgan Hampton was unable to con-quer the two par fives into the wind onthe front nine, and shot a 49. However,Hampton had three pars in a row to giveher a boost, and although she still hadtrouble with those two holes, she shot acareer low of 41. Her 90 placed her in16th –one stroke off a medal.

Matti Watson struggled with heropening three holes before she startedto play much better, and finished with a48 on the front, said Knaak. Improvingon those three holes on the back nine bythree strokes, Watson had a 53 on theback nine to finish 18th.

Playing a different kind of course,and also a new course, took its toll onthe two new sophomores, said Knaak.The very large greens gave them prob-lems.

Sarah Watson opened her round witha bogie, but the rest of the round in-cluded several lost balls in the nativegrass, to give her an 82. Starting the sec-ond round on the same hole, Watsonrecorded another bogie, but was onlyable to improve one stroke to finish at81.

Watson’s 163 ended the teams coringfor Plainview.

Jaydin Doerr had her score of 179 notused. “Jaydin does not have enough ex-perience to be able to play well on acourse like Evergreen,” said Coach

Knaak. However, she is learning withevery hole played and will improve a lotthis season, said Knaak. As an example,Doerr had three bogies for her highlight.

The Pirates host their own tourna-ment this Saturday, Sept. 13 and, saidKnaak, would enjoy having some sup-port from the school and community.

Pierce InviteThe Plainview Lady Pirate girls golf

team traveled to Pierce on September14 for the Pierce Invitational.

The meet was won by Battle Creek’sLady Bravettes with a score of 401 withO’Neill second at 421. Plainview fin-ished 10th overall with 502, their lowestscore of the year so far.

The team did have three individualsmedal.

Stephanie Sorensen tied for ninthwith a score of 99. She shot a 47 on thefront nine that had her in fourth-place,indicating, said Knaak, that she can playwith the best girls in the area as most ofthem were at this tournament. However,Sorensen struggled on the back ninewhen she was unable to get into a goodrhythm and never had a par in theround.

Matti Watson received the 19th-placemedal with a career low score of 108.Watson started off well, said Knaak, anddid not let a couple of poor holes deterher to shoot 56 on the front. Watsonplayed very steady on the back, exceptfor one hole, to shoot 52 as only 10 girlsshot better on the back.

Morgan Hampton took the 20th-place medal and won a scorecard play-off with four other girls that shot 111.Hampton opened with a 57 on the frontthat seems to be her “usual score.”However, she was able to shoot a careerlow of 54 on the back. “With this barrierbroken,” said Knaak. “Hampton canstart to lower her scores.”

Jaydin Doerr, playing in her first var-sity match, had trouble getting off thetee as she ended the team scoring with184. Even though Doerr struggled onthe longer holes, she was able to playthe par threes well, and that kept hergoing. “As Jaydin gets used to playingother courses, she should see a markedimprovement in her game,” said Knaak.

Sarah Watson was unable to com-pete, as she became ill playing the frontnine. She was playing fairly well beforebecoming ill, said Knaak. If Watson hadbeen able to finish, Plainview may have

been able to move up in the team stand-ings.

The Lady Pirates will golf again thisSaturday, Sept. 22 at the Plainview In-vitational at 9 a.m. and again on Mon-day, Sept. 22 in a triangular withCrofton and Hartington Cedar Catholic,also on the local course, beginning at4:15 p.m.

Vs. StantonOn Tuesday, Sept. 9, the Plainview

Lady Pirate girls golf team played in adual with Stanton.

Officially, it was a forfeit win, be-cause Stanton could not field a fullteam, however, Plainview would havewon anyway, as the team shot their low-est team score of the season, 232. Stan-ton had one girl shoot 55 and the othertwo were at 70 and 71.

Stephanie Sorensen, getting back toher home course and also improving hershort game, had her career low score of42. A closing double bogie kept herfrom finishing even lower, as she con-tinues to improve her game, said HeadCoach Larry Knaak.

Morgan Hampton tied her career lowscore of 57. “Morgan started out verywell, but the two par fives in the middlegave her problems,” said Knaak.“Hampton can use this experience toeven lower her score as she learns to getbetter in her short game.”

Matti Watson continues to improvewith every outing, said Knaak, and shehas nicely filled the #3 spot in the line-up. Watson shot a 57 that tied her careerlow. Watson started out with her first ca-reer par on Hole 1 to give her a lot ofenthusiasm for the rest of the round.

Heidi Nelson, having trouble gettingonto the green, said Knaak, was able toget close with few strokes and ended theteam scoring with a 76. This also gaveher a career low.

Ashley Shaffer had her score of 80not used. “Ashley has trouble getting tothe green,” said Knaak. “That keeps herfrom scoring lower.” Shaffer is helpingout the team as she waits for theyounger players to develop.

Since Stanton did not have a reservesquad to compete against, Plainview puttheir reserves playing a full round any-way.

Sarah Watson shot 69 for a careerlow. Watson’s high-light of the roundwas that she only had one double-digithole, and that was a 10. Watson contin-

ues to move in and out of the varsityline-up, said Knaak.

Jordyn Betts with a 74 as she playsfrom the red tees instead of the golfyouth tees of last year. Betts will also beconsidered for some varsity time.

Jaydin Doerr, playing her first fullround without modifying scoring, shotan 81. With Doerr new to the game, sheneeds experience to improve.

Sharyn Sheppard has problems get-ting to the green as her length off the teein the fairway is not the greatest. Shep-pard is persistent in trying to improve,said Knaak.

Natalie Lingenfelter had three “hor-rendous holes,” said Knaak, when shereverted back to an old habit that she hasbeen working hard to change. Lingen-felter is also not long off the tee or fair-way, so she must avoid any poor shotsto get to the green.

Lady Pirates take third at Battle Creek

In a well-played game, the Plain-view Junior High football team wasdefeated by Laurel/Concord/Co-leridge 28-20 on the local field.

Plainview Coaches Robin Reedand Brett Arehart said “We have toshow more emotion during thegame. Football is a game of emotionand we need to show more excite-ment when we play. Offensively, wedid some good things in the runningand passing game. Our runningbacks ran hard. Defensively, the Pi-rates played well except for the kick-off coverage. That needs to getcleaned up. We will continue to lookfor improvement from players in allareas of the game.”

Plainview received the openingkickoff, and, after a first down,Plainview had to punt. Laurel drovethe ball 35 yards for the openingscore. The point-after was success-ful and the score was Laurel 8,Plainview 0.

After a nice 25-yard kickoff re-turn by Jake Lingenfelter, the Piratesfirst quarter ended.

Beginning the second quarter,Plainview turned the ball over ondowns and punted to Laurel. The Pi-rates played an excellent defensiveseries and forced Laurel to puntback.

Jesse Foster put together two niceruns for a first down. Connor Dahl,after two short runs, scored from 45yards out to make the score 8-6. Thepoint-after was no good.

After kicking off, Plainviewstopped the Laurel attack and forced

a punt. Jacob Hoffmann had a nice10-yard run, followed by a 13-yardKeaton Eichberger scamper, closingthe half with the Pirates down 8-6.

Laurel received the second halfkick off and scored on a 65-yard runup the middle. The point-after failed,making the score 14-6. After a nice15-yard kickoff return from Foster,Dahl scored from 40-yards out. ADahl to Eichberger pass for thepoint-after tied the score up at 14.

Laurel scored on the ensuing kickoff, going 60 yards up the middle.The point-after failed, leaving thescore 20-14 and Laurel the lead.

The Pirates received the kick offand the offensive drive stalled, forc-ing a Pirate punt. Laurel took theball on the Pirate 38 and drove intothe end zone after a six-play drive.After converting the point-after thescore was 28-14 in favor of Laurel.

Opening the final quarter, Eich-berger ran the kick off back 25yards. After a nice 25-yard run byDahl, Foster scored from 20 yardsout. The point-after failed and thescore was 28-20, Laurel. After stop-ping Laurel, the Pirate were unableto get an offensive drive going, andturned the ball back over to Laurelon downs.

The clock ran out, and the finalscore remained 28-20, Laurel.

The next game for the Pirate Jun-ior High team will be on September22 against Neligh-Oakdale on thelocal field. The game time has beenmoved from 5 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Farm economy starting to see cracksMatt OlberdingLincoln Journal Star

Low crop prices are putting a damperon the farm economy, but two of thestate’s top economists say they don’t seea long-term downturn in the making.

Corn futures recently dropped below$3.50 a bushel, their lowest level in fouryears. That means that despite what maybe a record crop, many farmers willstruggle to break even this year.

At the start of the year, the Universityof Nebraska’s Bureau of Business Re-search predicted farm income in the statewould fall more than 7 percent this yearafter several years of robust growth. InJuly, however, the BBR revised the fore-cast down to a predicted drop of morethan 13 percent. The BBR is also pre-dicting declines in 2015 and 2016 aswell.

That gels with experts who believethe national ag economy is entering atwo- to three-year period of relativelylow profitability.

UNL economist Eric Thompson, whoheads the BBR, said there definitely hasbeen a “cooling off” of the ag economythis year.

“I would present it as coming downfrom record highs,” Thompson said.“We’re still in a healthy ag environ-ment.”

While the ag economy overall maystill be strong, there is at least one sectorthat has been feeling the slowdown: thefarm equipment industry.

CNH Industrial America last monthannounced plans to lay off 240 employ-ees at its plant in Grand Island, which

makes combines and windrowers. Aspokeswoman said the decision was dueto a drop in demand.

The CNH announcement followedannouncements earlier in August byJohn Deere of plans to lay off more than1,000 workers, mostly in Iowa.

On Tuesday, Titan Machinery Inc., amajor seller of farm equipment in Ne-braska and across the plains, reported a$600,000 loss in its second quarter, com-pared with a profit of $3.8 million in thesame period last year.

“The Agriculture industry continuesto face a number of headwinds, includ-ing lower projected net farm income andlower corn and soybean prices,” TitanChairman and CEO David Meyer saidin a news release. “This has impactedfarmers’ sentiment and resulted in lowerfarmer spending for equipment as wellas more cautious spending on parts andservices.”

Creighton University economistErnie Goss said the low commodityprices are one reason for the slowdownin farm equipment sales. Another is thefact that from 2009 through the middleof last year, farmers went on an equip-ment “buying binge,” and that demandhas now dried up.

Those two factors have played amajor role in the Agriculture EquipmentSales index from Goss’s Rural Main-street survey declining to its lowest levelever in August.

Another factor that may be playing arole is the 95 percent decline in the Sec-tion 179 tax deduction that applies tobusiness equipment. It dropped from

$500,000 in 2013 to $25,000 for 2014.While the farm equipment industry

has clearly been hit hard, effects on otherparts of the farm economy are less clear.

Goss’s Rural Mainstreet Index overallfell to its lowest level in two years in Au-gust, and the bankers interviewed for itindicated they expect farmland prices tofall nearly 5 percent over the next year.Prices in Nebraska rose 9 percent lastyear.

“Agriculture commodity prices haveplummeted for crop farmers in our re-gion and are expected to move evenlower in the months ahead. This declinehas spilled over into the broader ruraleconomy according to our survey,” Gosssaid at the time.

Thompson said there is some indica-tion in the BBR’s reports and surveysthat the metro economies of Lincoln andOmaha are performing better than thenon-metro economies.

However, the non-metro economiesremain strong, he said.

In addition, some parts of the farmeconomy are doing better. For example,the low commodity prices are loweringexpenses for ranchers, feeders and dairyfarmers, which should help boost theirprofits, Thompson said.

Overall, neither Thompson nor Gosssees long-term trouble ahead for agri-cultural producers in Nebraska.

Goss cited three factors that he saidwill keep the U.S. and Nebraska ageconomy strong: growing global de-mand that will continue to increase fooddemand, a weak dollar and a strongethanol industry.

Chad GarlandLos Angeles Times

When Steve Morris began buildingunmanned aerial systems in the late1990s, he envisioned flying them overfields and collecting data that would beuseful to farmers.

But after the wars in Afghanistan andIraq, drones became largely associatedwith military strikes and surveillance op-erations. Morris said the technology be-came the subject of contentious politicaldebates and public paranoia.

“The entire dream evaporated at thatpoint,” said Morris, founder and presi-dent of MLB Co. in Santa Clara, Calif.“In an alternate universe where [drones]rose to prominence through helping theeconomy, creating businesses and jobs,people would have a different view ofthem.”

More than a decade later, attention isrefocusing on development of drones forcommercial purposes. Amazon.comInc., Google Inc. and Walt Disney Co.are grabbing headlines with plans to de-velop drones for deliveries, mapping andentertainment.

I think it’s going to change agricultureas we know it in North America. It’s def-initely going to allow producers to be-come much more efficient.- ScottShearer, a professor at Ohio State Uni-versity and an expert in precision agri-culture

But the big boom in unmanned air-

craft may come from what’s known asprecision agriculture — using high-techsystems to help farmers increase yieldsand cut costs.

In recent years, consumer-qualitydrones that are cheaper and easier to flyhave become commonplace, but FederalAviation Administration rules have re-stricted their civilian use to recreationand research in all but a few cases. Thathas led Morris and others to market theiragricultural drones overseas, where reg-ulations are not as strict.

Sunnyvale, Calif., technology com-pany Trimble began offering agriculturaldrones in January and is currently sellingthem in foreign markets. Indiana-baseddrone maker PrecisionHawk says it hasprojects in Canada, South America andAustralia.

California farmers and technologistsfrom the Russian River Valley to SiliconValley say they are eager to put drones tocommercial use here at home.

Some, like YangQuan Chen, an engi-neering professor at UC Merced, envi-sion a new “data drone valley” in thestate’s Central Valley, not far from thetech giants and venture capitalists of theBay Area.

“I see a bright future. That’s the rea-son I started my lab in the Central Val-ley,” said Chen, who was doing researchwith agriculture drones at Utah StateUniversity before joining the UCMerced faculty and starting the school’smechatronics lab in 2012.

The unmanned aerial systems can beprogrammed to fly low over fields andstream photos and videos to a groundstation, where the images can be stitchedtogether into maps or analyzed to gaugecrop health. They can also be modifiedto land and take soil and water samples.One day they could be used in the U.S.as precision crop-dusters.

“The application of these data dronesis only limited by our imagination,”Chen said.

Agriculture could be the provingground for commercial drone applica-tions, partly because operating in ruralareas far from crowds, large airports andtall buildings alleviates privacy andsafety concerns.

Many experts believe that dronescould revolutionize the industry.

“I think it’s going to change agricul-ture as we know it in North America,”said Scott Shearer, a professor at OhioState University and an expert in preci-sion agriculture. “It’s definitely going toallow producers to become much moreefficient.”

Shearer said drones already can beused to provide more timely crop dataand higher-resolution aerial imagery ata fraction of the cost of using traditionalpiloted aircraft or satellites.

“It’s a bit of a game changer,” Shearersaid.

A 2013 study by a drone trade groupestimated that future commercial dronemarkets would be largely in agriculture,with some in public safety such as lawenforcement, firefighting and emer-gency management.

The study, by the Assn. for Un-manned Vehicle Systems International,projected that the economic effect of in-tegrating drones into the national air-space would top $2.3 billion inCalifornia in the first three years, morethan in any other state, leading to the cre-ation of more than 12,000 jobs in thisstate alone.

Some experts caution that the tradegroup’s predictions may be too opti-mistic, but they acknowledge that thereis a huge opportunity for agricultural

drones.The benefits of ag drones are promis-

ing for farmers growing largely com-modity crops in the Midwest, butShearer said they may be even greaterfor those cultivating high-value crops,such as California’s wine grape growers.

Ryan Kunde, winemaker for DRNKWines near Sebastopol, has been testingdrones with the goal of one day usingthem to help make decisions in the vine-yard — where to harvest first, whatplants need more nutrients, which areasneed more water and which need less.

“Small increases in productivitymake a huge impact,” Kunde said. “It’sfarming smarter.”

Kunde began tinkering with drones in2010, and eventually formed a companyto provide drone monitoring data togrape growers for a fee. But until theFAA approves commercial drone use,that business is “kind of in a holding pat-tern,” he said.

“The market is there. We just don’thave the guidelines to regulate it,”Kunde said.

Drone advocates say wider use de-pends on the complex process of inte-grating unmanned aircraft into nationalairspace, which will start to be outlinedin forthcoming FAA rules.

That integration was congressionallymandated by September 2015, though arecent Transportation Department auditfound that the FAA is likely to miss thatdeadline. The FAA has said rules gov-erning small drones under 55 poundsthat fly below 400 feet will be intro-duced later this year, but some industryofficials cautioned that they may nottake effect until 2016.

Very few commercial operators havereceived FAA exemptions allowingthem to use drones in the U.S. Monroviadrone maker AeroVironment Inc. thisyear became the first to get approval forcommercial use of a drone over land forits Puma AE UAS, which monitors BPExploration Inc.’s remote Prudhoe Bayoil field in Alaska.

The company plans to offer cropmonitoring services for farmers,AeroVironment spokesman StevenGitlin said, but FAA rules are holding itback.

“We could deliver valuable informa-tion to farmers tomorrow, if the rules al-lowed it,” Gitlin said.

Some researchers at California’s pub-lic universities have received limitedfederal approval to fly drones as part oftheir research. Chen, the UC Mercedprofessor, is using drones to develop away to turn drone data into useful guid-ance that farmers can follow to boostyields.

At UC Davis, professor Ken Gileshas approval to fly the 200-poundYamaha RMAX helicopter, which hasbeen used in Japan for more than twodecades as a nimble crop-duster. Part ofhis research is collecting the data neededto guide future regulations on the use ofsuch remote-controlled aerial sprayers inthe U.S.

Giles, who has a pilot’s license, saidthat unlike many of the smaller drones,which can be programmed to fly a cer-tain path without human guidance, theRMAX is not autonomous. That, plus itslimited payload capacity — it can fly forabout 15 minutes at full spray beforeneeding to be refilled — could slow itsadoption for U.S. agriculture.

But the technology, he said, has thepotential to deliver “a level of accounta-bility and precision that we haven’t hadbefore.”

Drones may provide big lift toagriculture when FAA allows their use

Livestock makes big tracks at Husker Harvest DaysRobert Pore World-Herald News Service

GRAND ISLAND — Livestock, es-pecially the cattle industry, is the cor-nerstone of Nebraska agriculture and isbecoming a big part of Husker HarvestDays.

Located in the northwest corner of theHHD complex, its presence has grownnot only with the number of exhibitors,but also with shows for the public, suchas cattle handling and stock dog demon-strations.

Joe Jeffery, a Lexington veterinarian,rancher and master of ceremonies at theHHD cattle demos, is a longtime partic-ipant. Jeffery has been involved with thecattle demonstrations for 26 years.

He said the cattle industry displayshave grown in recent years, in part, be-cause of the good markets cattle pro-ducers are experiencing.

One of the chutes used in the cattle-handling demonstrations was grabbedright off the assembly line, Jeffery said,as demand for cattle-handling equip-ment is on the rise. Cattle producers arebeginning to rebuild their herds after the2012 drought, when hay was selling for

more than $200 per ton and corn formore than $7 per bushel.

Plentiful moisture has now broughtthose prices down.

The U.S. Department of Agriculturereported that the average August cornprice this year in Nebraska was $3.70per bushel, down 50 cents from the pre-vious month. The August alfalfa hayprice, at $112 per ton, was down $1. Theother hay price, at $87 per ton, wasdown $10.

Despite the rain that plagued HHDthis year, Jeffery said cattle producersare “smiling like crazy.”

“We remember, not that many yearsago, that things weren’t all that good,”he said. “Now corn prices are downwhere producers can afford to feedthem, and cattle prices are higher thanall get out.”

Jeffery said he was recently delightedwhen he sold seven head of bull calvesfor more than $10,000.

“I remember years when you wouldtake a calf into the sale barn and sell oneand they gave you the second one, andyou kept your trailer locked because,when you went out, they were putting

cattle in your trailer,” he said. “Today,they are worth their weight in gold.”

The nation’s cow herd is down to his-toric lows, though public beef demandcontinues to be high despite the highercost for beef, Jeffery said.

“There are some feedlots where thereare no critters in them,” he said in refer-ence to the low cattle numbers.

Cattle gestation takes about 273 days,and then it’s another 18 to 22 months be-fore that calf is ready for market. So, un-like chickens and hogs, it takes a whileto rebuild a cattle herd hit hard bydrought.

One of the vendors at HHD this yearwas John Kearney, a district manager forBehlen County, a farm and ranch equip-ment company based in Columbus.

Kearney, who has been coming toHHD for 35 years, agreed that the live-stock industry’s presence at the show hasgrown because of higher cattle prices.

“Cattle are at a very good price nowand on an upward swing,” he said. “It islike the corn market. It will go up, butone of these days it will come backdown when everybody is stocked backup.”

Like Jeffery, Kearney said thedrought had a huge impact across cattlecountry. Despite the heavy rain this yearin Nebraska, drought is still a fact of lifein other parts of the nation.

For example, he said the cattle indus-try in California has some of its lowestnumbers in the last 30 years. Earlier thisyear, Nebraska went ahead of Texas asthe nation’s largest cattle-feeding state asa result of the lingering drought in Texas.

Another exhibitor at HHD this yearwas the Nebraska Beef Council, whichis based in Kearney. Doug Straight, di-rector of producer communications, saidcattle producers are not only rebuildingtheir herds, but also in the market forequipment.

“There is no doubt that our fat cattlemarket is still pretty decent, and thefeeder markets as well,” Straight said.

As harvest time rolls around, theUSDA reported on Thursday that cornproduction nationwide is forecast at 14.4billion bushels, up 3 percent from boththe August forecast and 2013. Yields areexpected to average 171.7 bushels peracre, up 4.3 bushels from the Augustforecast and 12.9 bushels from 2013. Ifrealized, this will be the highest yieldand production on record for the UnitedStates.

U.S. soybean production is forecast ata record 3.91 billion bushels, up 3 per-cent from August and 19 percent fromlast year. Yields are expected to averagea record high 46.6 bushels per acre, up1.2 bushels from last month and 3.3bushels from last year.

Strong corn and soybean productionwill continue to put downward pressureon those markets, and that will help live-stock feeders.

“The livestock industry has alwaysbeen represented here,” said Straight,who has been coming to HHD for 33years. “But it has expanded over the lastseveral years.”

Representing the Gelbvieh breed as-sociation was Dick Helms, who alsoraises Gelbvieh cattle at his Arapahoeranch, Flying H Genetics.

“It is sometimes easier for people toview your cattle if you bring them to aplace where there are a lot of people,such as the State Fair or Husker HarvestDays,” said Helms, who has been at-tending HHD for more than 20 years.“But at that time (20 years ago), therewasn’t near as much cattle or cattleequipment as there is now.”

When HHD officials dedicated thenorthwest section to the livestock indus-try, he said, “it seemed to really growand blossom.”

Because of the good cattle market,“there are more dollars in the system andpeople can afford to do more things andbuy more equipment,” Helms said.“There are a lot of activities here forlivestock people.”

School Lunch vs. Brown BagAll across the country, students

hoped that the start of this school yearwould bring back their old schoollunches. It didn’t happen. Students areup in arms about the federally man-dated changes to their lunches. Olderstudents have taken to posting onlinepictures of what they’re given. Manyare claiming they won’t eat what’sbeing served, or that the portions aretoo small. Students who stay afterschool for clubs or sports are left hun-gry at the end of the day, especiallythe athletes.

They aren’t the only ones who areunhappy.

Cafeteria managers have beenscrambling to prepare meals the stu-dents will actually eat instead ofthrowing away most of the food.They’re limited in the amount of meatand grains that can be served in aweek (measured in ounces), and mustfollow guidelines about specific calo-ries by age group (as though all 7-year-old students are identical). To hittheir targets, they’ve resorted to oddpairings of food and have cut portionsizes.

Parents are left wondering whetherthey’ll forever be forced to packlunches for their kids. The answer is... probably. Even that won’t solve thewhole problem: There have been re-ports of overzealous school staff in-specting brown bag lunches. In clearoverkill, some have taken away thoselunches and provided a school lunchfor the child.

There are, thankfully, some schooldistricts that are refusing to continuelimiting their lunch offerings to whatis now legal. They’re dropping out ofthe program, giving up tens and hun-dreds of thousands of dollars in fed-eral funding to do so.

What’s a parent to do? First, if yourchild is throwing away school lunchfood or is hungry again in two hours,complain to your school district.They’re likely already in the processof deciding whether or not to stickwith the legal lunches.

Second, call the school and find outthe policy for the contents of a child’sbag lunch. If anything you chose toprovide is OK, one battle is solved.Get ready to pack lunches.

You know what your child will eatand how much, what the pediatriciansays about your child’s health andweight, and what current “foodphase” your child might be in.

Bottom line: A hungry child isn’tgoing to learn. Send your child offwith a lunch you know he or she isgoing to eat.

Plainview FCCLA Officers Ash-ley Shaffer, Heidi Nelson, NatalieLingenfelter, Caiti Ziegenbein, andAutumn Ickler along with AdivserRonita Jacobsen recently attendedthe Nebraska Family, Career, andCommunity Leaders of AmericaFall Leadership Workshop.

This annual event was held thisyear at University of Nebraska-Lin-coln’s East Campus Student Unionand featured over 275 students fromthe eastern half of Nebraska. Thisevent was held in partnership withthe Child, Youth and Family Stud-ies department at UNL.

Students at this event heard frommembers of the State Officer Team,the State Peer Officer Team, andother chapter leaders about stateand national programs, leadershipdevelopment, and chapter manage-ment. “The focus of this confer-ence is really on preparing studentleaders for the year ahead andequipping them with the skills nec-essary to have a successful year inFCCLA,” said Nebraska FCCLAState Adviser Allison Kreifels.

Students also had the opportunityto take tours of different Family andConsumer Sciences departments

and speak to the members of thosedepartments. Presentations fromTextiles, Merchandising, and Fash-ion Design, Marriage and FamilyTherapy’s Family Resource Center,Special Education and Communica-tion Discovers, Hospitality, and Nu-trition departments were wellreceived from students and advisersalike. These tours gave students thechance to learn about these fields,the education offered at UNL, andthe careers available to them.

Another highlight for studentswas hearing from speaker DustinGalyon. A Kansas native, Dustinspoke on the importance of rela-tionships and how to build authen-tic and meaningful relationshipswith those around you. With humorand heart Dustin shared the lessonshe has learned about relationshipsand how those are the things thattruly impact the person you are andwill become.

As members of the chapter bringthis information and training home,they are looking forward to imple-menting it in a variety ofways. Members will use the train-ing as they implement their pro-gram of work whichincludes organizing blood drives,gathering toys for the Toys for Totsprogram, food drive donations, and

other community service events. They will also be attending the

District 8 Leadership Conferenceon October 22 at the LifelongLearning Center in Norfolk.

FCCLA is a dynamic and effec-tive national student organizationthat helps young men and womenbecome leaders and address impor-tant personal, family, work and so-cietal issues through Family andConsumer Sciences education.FCCLA has more than 200,000members in nearly 6,500 chaptersnationally.

SERVICE RECORD

OBITUA RYMay 24, 1917, The Plainview

News, Volume 25, Number 44Death claims Leo Risse In US

Navy – Thursday, May 18, 1917Died from spinal meningitis Fri-

day nightThe sad intelligence reached here

Saturday morning of the death ofLeo R. Risse who recently joinedthe US Navy. He was taken sud-denly ill with spinal meningitisabout two weeks ago and died fromits effects Friday night at eleveno’clock. The body was shippedfrom Great Lakes, Illinois, to WestPoint where internment took placeon Monday morning, where he wasburied alongside his father andmother who had gone before.

Leo R. Risse was born in WestPoint, Nebraska May 21st, 1898,being almost 19 years of age at thetime of his death. Shortly after ar-riving at the training camp at GreatLakes, Illinois, he was taken ill withspinal meningitis and after a hardstruggle of two weeks death steppedin and claimed its reward. The de-ceased leaves three brothers andfive sisters to mourn his death.

Leo Risse was a student of thePlainview schools and was num-bered among the graduates of ’17,but when President Wilson issuedthe declaration of war, he leftschool to join the Navy and fightfor his country. He was a verybright young student with many ad-miring qualities and was popularand well-liked by everyone whoknew him. It is but a few weekssince the great patriotic meetingwas held in the Plainview operahouse, in honor of the home boyswho were leaving to take up thecolors of our country, and Leo Rissewas among the boys seated on theplatform that night. All present re-alized what might be expected intime of war and that the brave boysbefore us might never return to ourcity alive, but few anticipate deathto step in and claim one of them, asthe boys were all hale and heartyand passed their physical examina-tions in fine shape and Leo the best

of all. This only goes to show howuncertain life is “we are here today,but cannot speak for the morrow.”As soon as he was taken sick hisbrother John, residing north of townrushed to his bedside, where he re-mained until the end came. The tak-ing away of this young life wasindeed a sad blow to the relativesand friends of Plainview. The newsjoins with the friends and sorrowingrelatives in extending heartfelt sym-pathy in their sad hour of great af-fliction.
