Nebraska City’s park system
stands at the center of discussions
aimed at increasing the utility of
available green space in town
while improving access and driving the local economy forward.
The discussions began last fall
when a group of architecture students from the University of Nebraska visited Nebraska City to
talk with a group locals about a
comprehensive plan for development.
The comprehensive plan project
came as part of the students’
course work and as the result of
a $25,000 grant from Olson and
Associates, Inc., of Omaha.
One of the topics of those original discussions was the idea of
building a new sports complex
in Nebraska City.
Enter Jim Thurman.
The lifelong local businessman
crafted an idea to repurpose green
space at Wildwood Park, currently
the Wildwood Golf Course, to allow for new ball fields, an amphitheater and a hiking and bik-
ing trail.
Those ideas hit Facebook and
met with much positive enthusiasm as respondents commented
and shared in impressive numbers.
Armed with the ideas from
those original discussions, the
University of Nebraska students
worked on accessing the feasibility
of re-working Wildwood Golf
Course.
Good news.
It appears to be a feasible idea.
That doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed to happen.
It does mean that the discussion
will continue. Thurman said he
isn’t interested in seeing discussions squashed. He is inviting
the community to get involved.
And to share their ideas, whether
they agree with his concepts or
not.
Interested parties can look up
Thurman’s Web site for more
specific information about his
ideas at ourparknc.com.
Just to clear up any potential
confusion, Thurman’s title of the
Web page, Our Park, is not suggested as a change of name at
Wildwood Park. It is the title for
Pictured is a conceptual design for park possibilities in Nebraska
City. The picture was taken from the ourparknc.com site, a Web
site built by local businessman Jim Thurman to educate the public on the possibilities for a new sports complex. One of the features of the Wildwood site is the mature trees not featured at
other newly built sports complexes. Thurman said the trees
would be part of the design of the new park and that care would
be taken to assure that the design of a new sports complex fit
into and did not detract from the park.
the discussion and the emphasis
is on the word Our.
“The reason I made the Web
site is to educate people,” said
Thurman. “The whole idea is to
have open communication. This
needs to be a community project.”

Young girls took their places
at cooking stations with their
mentors March 24 to embrace
foods from different cultures.
Mentees and mentors of the
Nebraska City TeamMates program huddled around cutting
boards and ovens in the Nebraska City Middle School Family and Consumer Sciences room
to create food that they've never
made before.
Sixteen-year-old Becky, whose
last name can't be used, formed
shrimp balls with her hands
and made falafel and tzatziki
sauce. Becky said she enjoys
cooking with her grandmother
and she has enjoyed the fiveweek-long cooking class.
When her shrimp balls were
done cooking, her mentor, Jeanna Stavas of Nebraska City,
watched as Becky popped one
in her mouth.
"They were really good,"
Becky said surprisingly. "All
you do taste is shrimp and sugar
and that's about it."
Stavas, who is also the
innkeeper of Whispering Pines
Bed & Breakfast, is the cooking
class teacher. She often offers
cooking classes for the public,
but she has always wanted to
teach children how to cook.
"And that's kind of where this
idea evolved from because I just
always wanted to do classes for
kids," she said.
The March 24 class, the third
week of class, was all about
meatball madness. The first
class was an introduction to
cooking, and the second was
breakfast meals. The fourth and
fifth classes will focus on pizza
and pasta.
"Jeanna doesn't mess
around," TeamMates coordinator and mentor Stacie Higgins
of Nebraska City said.
Higgins said the cooking class
was made possible through a
$500 Cargill grant and a private
donation from a donor who
wished to remain anonymous.

Mentor Denise Davis of Nebraska City particularly liked
the breakfast cooking class.
"I've made omelets before,
but I've never made them in a
Ziploc bag in boiling water,"
Davis said.
"So that was a neat trick to
learn about an alternative way
to make omelets."
Davis' mentee, Andrea, whose
last name can't be used, cut up
and assortment of ingredients
to make spicy black bean cake.
The cake was fitting for Andrea
because she was celebrating her
ninth birthday during the
March 24 class.
As her cakes were served to
everyone at the end of class,
her peers sang "Happy Birthday" to her before she took her
cakes home to celebrate with
her family and grandmother.
"Grandma is coming over to
my house for my birthday and
my family will get to try (the
cakes)," Andrea said.

Otoe County commissioners approved for the county to work with
Nebraska City commissioners to
enter into an agreement to file for
a preliminary application to recognize an area of town as one of five
enterprise zones in Nebraska.
Omaha Public Power District and
Nebraska City Area Economic Development Corp. have teamed up
to assist the county and city with
the project that could potentially
draw in business and housing incentives in the chosen area. The
area that qualifies as an enterprise
zone is from 1st Corso from West
3rd to 19th streets.
"Last year, the Legislature passed
a law for communities to declare
enterprise zones within counties.
They're doing five counties as guinea
pigs or test subjects this year," Otoe
County Commission Chairman Tim
Nelsen said. "There's actually very
little, very few parts of Otoe County
that does qualify within meeting
the statutes."
OPPD Economic Development
coordinator Brook Aken said that
this area of town qualifies as an
enterprise zone because of its high
level of population, poverty and unemployment.
Aken added that if new businesses
are attracted to the area then Arbor
Rail Line, which OPPD owns, could
be used in the future as well.
"We think that this program presents a good opportunity that maybe
not a lot of communities across the
state will take advantage of since
it's not really determined yet what
all of the possibilities and benefits
are with it," she said. "But we think
it would be a good opportunity for
Otoe County."
NCEDAC Executive Director
Stephanie Shrader said support
from the city and county is being
sought because the area is located
in and outside of city limits.

What can be done about
herbicide-resistant weeds?
Herbicide resistance in
weeds is an important issue that needs to be met
head-on.
With the increased use
of glyphosate (Roundup
or other generic brands),
this issue has come up often in crop production
meetings. Initially Roundup was used on Roundupready or glyphosate-resistant soybeans. Now there
are also several generic
glyphosate products on
the market and almost all
the soybeans planted in
Nebraska are glyphosateresistant.
Roundup-ready
or
glyphosate-resistant corn
hybrids are now used extensively throughout the
Cornbelt. Many farmers
are using glyphosate for
both soybeans and corn.
This heavy reliance on
glyphosate can lead to resistance problems if herbicides with different
modes of action are not
used as a part of a farmer’s
weed management strategy.
People may think weed
resistance is something
new, but actually it is not
new at all. It has been
around for several years
with many herbicides with
different modes of action.
Modes of action are the
chemical methods or pathways that the herbicide
uses to kill the weed. Waterhemp is a very common
weed in Nebraska and surrounding states. It first
developed resistance to
triazine herbicides, such
as atrazine in corn. Then
it developed resistance to
ALS herbicides, i.e. Classic,
Pursuit, Accent and Beacon.
Then waterhemp developed resistance to the PPO
inhibitors, i.e. Cobra, Valor, Blazer and Flexstar.
Now it has developed resistance to glyphosate in
several states. Waterhemp
has also shown to be resistant to HPPD in-
hibitors, such as Callisto
and even growth regulators, like 2,4 – D and Banvel.
To say the least, waterhemp is a very resilient
weed. There could be circumstances where waterhemp is resistant to more
than one herbicide. This
is what is called stacked
resistance. While this is a
big concern, there are
management practices
that can be done to prevent resistance from developing and reducing the
impact if herbicide-resistant weeds have been
identified on your farm.
Here in southeast Nebraska, its known that
glyphosate
resistant
marestail exists and
glyphosate-resistant giant
ragweed has been confirmed in Nemaha and
Richardson counties. Waterhemp is probably resistant to more than one
herbicide on farmers in
southeast Nebraska as
well.
So how can farmers
keep herbicide-resistant
weeds from increasing?
There are a number of
strategies that can be done
to minimize the impact of
herbicide-resistant weeds
in fields.
First, it is important to
understand the biology of
the weeds present. People
need to know when they
emerge and when they are
most susceptible to herbicides.
An example is if its suspected that glyphosate resistant giant ragweed is
present, fields must be
managed to control this
weed with other herbicides.
Giant ragweed is an early emerging weed. In soybeans it may be advisable
to delay planting to get as
many of the weed
seedlings emerging prior
to planting.
Giant ragweed is susceptible to 2,4- D so in
no-till systems a pre-plant
burn down containing 2,4
– D would be effective. Be
sure to follow label directions for planting following 2,4 –D. It is very important to plant into a
weed-free field and keep
fields as weed-free as possible.
Some other best management practices for herbicide resistant weeds, include:
■ Use a diversified approach to weed management focused on reducing
the seed bank;
■ Use multiple effective
modes of action against
troublesome or herbicideresistant prone weeds;
■ Apply the labeled herbicide rate to weeds no
larger than the maximum
labeled size;
■ Emphasize cultural
management techniques
that suppress weeds by
utilizing crop productivity
and competiveness, i.e.
different crop rotations,
different planting dates;
■ And prevent weed
seed production.
While the increase of
herbicide-resistant weeds
is a concern, the impact
can be reduced by following these good management practices.
The new “2015 Weed
Management Guide” has
a specific section where it
evaluates the efficacy of
herbicides on several herbicide resistant weeds,
helps people select the best
sites of action to use for
controlling various herbicide-resistant weeds and
assists in identifying the
best strategies for control
of these weeds.
There is also research
being conducted at field
sites to evaluate strategies
to use for control of herbicide-resistant weeds.
If people do not have a
‘2015 Weed Guide,” the
online version can be accessed
at
www.ianrpubs.unl.edu.

FISHIN’ PREACHER
Texting reminder:
Is God calling you?
Psalm 106:7 “Our fathers, when they were in
Egypt, did not consider
your wondrous works; they
did not remember the
abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled by
the sea, at the Red Sea.”
ESV
My phone whistled while
I was in the shower. I
thought, “Hmm. I wonder
whose texting me?”
I dried off, swiped the
screen, and it was my calendar saying, “Lunch appointment: Steelville,
noon.” The time was
eleven o’ seven.
From my house that was
a forty-five minute drive,
and I had forgotten this appointment. The reminder
saved my bacon.
God points out numerous times that nations and
individuals could’ve made
life much easier on themselves if they would’ve just
taken the time to remember Him.
They could’ve experienced a life of rest and
peace if they put their energy in remembering God.
The progression is that
when a person or nation
doesn’t remember God,
they naturally fall into rebellion. This in turn spirals
life into turmoil, grief, and
anxiety.
I think every time we
hit a roadblock or hard
spot in our life, that it’s like
a whistle-text reminder to
AARON JEFFERS
remember God.
You really get to know
God when you see him
bring you through life’s
tough spots.
I remember the time I
worked as a boat salesman, and we were pinched
for cash. I wanted to go see
my dad on Father’s Day,
but it would have cost us
money we couldn’t spare.
My wife and I prayed
that if it was God’s will for
us to go, that he would
provide.
I get a call at the boat
shop from a guy in
Spencer, Indiana…my
hometown, where my dad
lives.
He said, “Hey, I’ll pay
your expenses to drive my
boat back from Indiana if
you’ll sell it for me.”
“Would Father’s Day
weekend workout?” I
shook my dad’s hand on
Father’s Day. I’m glad we
remembered to ask our
heavenly Father.
GUEST COLUMNIST
Being skeptical
can be dangerous
Alvin Guenther
alvguenther@gmail.com
Have you ever questioned or been skeptical
during a challenging point
in your life?
Have you ever been
skeptical and questioned a
politician face to face demanding an explanation
for their stance or vote on
a political issue?
Have you ever been
skeptical or questioned the
instructions your boss just
issued?
Have you ever questioned or been skeptical
of the “tyranny of the majority”?
Carl Edward Sagan, astrophysicist, astrobiologist
and science communicator
in other natural sciences,
stated that skepticism is
dangerous.
Dangerous because
when we are skeptical we
begin to question. When
we begin to question we
open up the possibility of
change and in defense of
the status quo defenders
become defensive and
sometimes highly agitated.
Awkward and uneasy moments may abound.
Remember some of the
TV interviews with the former Cornhusker football
coach?
Prior to his death on December 20, 1996 at the
age of 62, Sagan stated
that he believed that
schools in general had
done a poor job of educating students in the art of
questioning.
What has been found,
however, is that the new
millennium generation is
more open to disciplined
questioning to pursue
thought in many directions.
More open because they
see a need in change of
leadership and management paradigms.
Many of the new jobs being filled today are lower
paying and offer less ben-
efits and the new millennium generation isn’t
afraid of the boss and will
quit the job if necessary.
The new millennium
generation’s demands become even more tumultuous if we reside in an
area that is highly traditional and opposed to
changes in the status quo.
Often this tumultuous,
hostile environment is a
catalyst to youth exodus
or the “brain drain”.
In his essay, “Self-Reliance”, Ralph Waldo
Emerson stated, “A foolish
consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds”. Little
minds, perhaps, because
of objective, rote learning
we have become simple
programmed robots. Programmed robots needing
to be directed by political
demagogues “to vote party
lines” even though our vote
is not in our personal best
interest.
Or, little minds perhaps
because our ability to discover the real truth of the
history of the United States
has been censored by the
status quo demagogues in
an attempt to keep the
truth from young exploratory minds.
Perhaps, the need to
throw objective (A), (B),
(C), (D), or (E) tests into
the trash can to favor subjective testing is long past
due.
If Carl Edward Sagan
was correct and schools
have done a poor job in
teaching questioning, then
we must incorporate the
art of critical thinking and
Socratic questioning into
the methods, goals and objectives of our school curriculums.
Critical thinking is the
process we use to disseminate, analyze and judge
assumptions underlying
our and other individuals
thought processes and actions.
See GUENTHER, page 6
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Term limits and organ donation
topics before legislature
The question of whether
term limits should be extended was debated bylawmakers this past week.
As introduced, Legislative Resolution 7 is a proposal for a constitutional
amendment to increase
term limit provisions, so
that a state senator could
serve two consecutive sixyear terms, rather than
two consecutive four-year
terms.
LR 7 CA was prioritized
and advanced by the Executive Board with committee amendments.
The committee amendments would instead allow
a state senator to serve
three consecutive fouryear terms.
After the committee
amendments were filed,
Senator Paul Schumacher,
the sponsor of LR 7 CA,
offered an amendment to
change the resolution
back to the introduced
version.
Term limits were adopted through the initiative
petition process in 2000,
after three previous attempts were struck down
by the courts.
Since that time, measures to repeal term limits
or to lengthen them have
not been successful in the
Legislature in 2003, 2005
and 2009.
In 2012, a proposed
constitutional amendment to increase term limit provisions to three consecutive four-year terms
DAN WATERMEIER
was passed by the Legislature, but was not approved by voters.
Proponents of the measure stress the importance
of experience and institutional knowledge.
They bring up the difficult learning curve faced
by new senators, who are
inundated with an abundance of information.
With term limits, it has
become more common for
committee chairs to be
selected after just two
years of service, not giving
much time to fully understand the issues associated with their committee
subject matter.
Opponents point out
that the people have already spoken on this issue.
They oppose trying
again so soon after a similar attempt was defeated.
They also welcome the
more frequent turnover
in service, saying that it is
an opportunity to bring in
new ideas.
Some senators supported the two consecutive
six-year option because
running twice instead of
three times would lower
the amount spent on campaigns.
It also would allow senators to focus on their
service rather than raising
money for their campaign.
Opponents feared that
the second six-year term is
too long without being
accountable to voters.
The Legislature adjourned for the week prior to taking a vote on the
amendments or the advancement of the resolution.
LB 47, a bill that I introduced that was chosen
as a speaker priority bill,
was debated by the Legislature this week.
It would make the question mandatory, rather
than optional, asking applicants for driver’s licenses whether they wanted to place their name on
the Donor Registry.
The purpose is to increase the numbers of
donors in Nebraska,
which will in turn save
more lives.
Senator Ernie Chambers led the filibuster arguing that free-speech
rights should not require
a person to answer this
question.
I offered an amendment
for a third choice, allowing
applicants to answer “yes”,
“no”, or “elect not to an-
swer”.
I felt this was a suitable
compromise and would
still keep the intent of the
bill intact.
Many senators spoke in
support of the bill, mentioning how the transplant program has saved
or bettered the lives of
people they know.
However, a small number of senators still remained opposed, signaling many more hours of
debate.
It is unknown at this
time if the bill will be up
again. Since it is a speaker priority bill, the speaker has the discretion to
make this decision.
LB 538, which requires
performance audits of tax
incentive programs, received first-round approval this past week on a
37-0 vote.
LB 538 was introduced
by the Legislative Performance Audit Committee, of which I chair.
The primary goal of the
legislation is to produce
information that will allow
lawmakers to draw clear
conclusions about how
well tax incentives are
benefiting Nebraska’s
economy and meeting
program goals.
If you have any opinions
on these issues or other issues before the Legislature, I encourage you to
contact me.

FROM THE GOVERNOR
Nebraskans seeking tax relief
Over the last 19 months
I have logged tens of thousands of miles crisscrossing our great state and
listening to the thoughts,
ideas, and concerns of our
citizens.
Throughout my travels
the number one issue I
hear about from hardworking Nebraskans is
the need for tax relief.
Whether it’s farmers and
home owners seeking relief from Nebraska’s high
property taxes or businesses being held back by
our second-highest-inthe-region income tax
rates, the message is clear:
Nebraskans want and deserve tax relief.
A bill scheduled to be
heard before the full legislature will do the exact
opposite. LB610 would
increase the gas tax paid in
Nebraska by six cents per
gallon.
While that may not
seem like a lot, this increase would be added to
the about 25.6 cents Nebraskans are already paying in state gas tax per gallon of gasoline. If this tax
GOV. PETE
RICKETTS
increase passed, state gas
taxes alone would account
for about 13 percent of
the cost of fuel at today’s
average price of $2.39 per
gallon. At this level, Nebraska’s gas tax rate would
be about twice our state’s
top income tax bracket.
Not only does a gas tax
increase impact nearly
every Nebraskan, it is one
of the most regressive taxes, impacting those who
can least afford it the
most. Tax increases, like
the proposed gas tax hike,
take away money that low
and fixed-income Ne-
braskans count on to pay
for food, utilities, and
medication.
While proponents of the
gas tax increase have
raised important concerns
about the state of Nebraska’s roads and bridges,
there are alternatives our
state should first explore.
Raising taxes should never be the first line of defense. Right now, I am
conducting a national
search for a new roads director to find someone
who can take a fresh look
at how Nebraska can approach road construction
differently. Other states
have done it through ideas
like public/private partnerships and working to
improve operations and
flexibility within the current regulatory framework.
In 2011, then State Senator Deb Fischer led the
effort to pass LB84, the
Build Nebraska Act,
which allocated one-quarter of a percent of Nebraska’s sales tax to roads
construction.
This was a sensible ap-
proach that provided
much-needed additional
funding to help ensure
that our state’s roads priorities receive funding and
made it easier for our state
to budget for roads construction. Most importantly, it was done without
increasing taxes.
That is exactly the approach I plan to take with
our new Department of
Roads director. We will
look for new ways to approach roads funding,
construction, and regulation.
We will also do it knowing that we have been
charged with safeguarding
taxpayer dollars.
I urge all Nebraskans to
reach out to your respective state senator and express your concerns about
higher taxes.
We did not become a
high tax state overnight,
and we will not lower taxes all at once. But we cannot bring our taxes down
if the first step is a tax increase.

From page 1
New fields could provide more options for baseball and softball players. Currently, there are some 480
users of Nebraska City’s baseball
and softball fields, but only six fields
(three baseball and three softball) to
accommodate those numbers. Thurman said teams are often forced to
find green space for practices instead
of using field space.
Coaches schedule practices in the
hopes that fields are open but find
that their practices conflict with
other teams.
Thurman said efforts have been
made to create schedules for the
fields but with so many teams that
can be a difficult and complex undertaking.
Daily users could drive the local
economy. Thurman said when he
thinks about projects like the sports
complex, the vision includes the
concept of the daily user, the person
from outside the community who
comes to Nebraska City to spend
money at local businesses. Tournaments held at the new complex
would draw in people from outside
the community.
In addition to games, the hiking
and biking trails and the ampitheater could be draws for visitors as
well.
An increase to daily users could in
turn spur on economic development with new businesses locating
in Nebraska City to take advantage
of new business traffic.

C. Probing rationale, reasons and
Whether people like his idea or
not, Thurman said he would like to
hear what they have to say. And if
they have different ideas, that’s fine
too.
As for Thurman’s ideas for Wildwood, the process is under way to
further actualize those plans and
give the community a clearer vision
of what could be.
Thurman said he is working with
Olson and Associates and, with the
help of LB840 funds, hopes to have
some more definite architectural
renderings of the Wildwood possibilities and a price tag for the total
project.
The process of actualizing plans
could reach completion by the end
of April and will be presented at a
meeting of the Nebraska City City
Council.
At that point, citizens can look at
the plans and formulate more ideas.
The city’s leaders and residents will
have something to think about. And,
if desire exists to move the project
forward, work will need to be done
to create the monies that will fund
the project.
A new sports complex at the Wildwood site could have many impacts
on Nebraska City. Here are a few of
BOARD
From page 1
Nelsen said if the area is
chosen, then a committee
comprising of two city
council and county commissioners and three citizens living within the district would be formed to
keep the project moving
forward. He added that
there's no cost involved
for the city or county for
filing the application.
"So the first step is for
the county and the city to
enter into an agreement to
file for an application. If
we're chosen then the state
is going to work with us on
the development of those
areas," Nelsen said. "If the
board grants permission,
then we're going to go to
the city council meeting
and ask them to approve
the initial application and
move forward."
Commissioners also discussed whether to keep
insurance provider BlueCross BlueShield or to
look into another insurance provider for county
employees.
Nelsen said the out-ofnetwork status issue between
BlueCross
BlueShield and the
Catholic Health Initiatives
network, which includes
CHI Health St. Mary's in
Nebraska City.
"It's been a year now
since we were first notified
by BlueCross that certain
aspects of the hospital locally would not be eligible
for BlueCross BlueShield
services," Nelsen said. "It's
been about a year since
that fight with CHI started and I think that as we
New soccer fields could give approximately 300 youth soccer players a place to have practices and
games. The youth teams are currently playing games at Red Fox
Run, but those fields will not be
available, possibly as soon as 2016.
Thurman said the Red Fox Run
fields were initially created as part of
an economic development idea and
were never intended to be permanent. Although soccer organizers
are currently working toward a plan
as to where future events will be
held, a new complex could be the ultimate solution to the issue.
are getting closer to the
budget year, it's probably
a good time to have the
conversation again.
"Do we want to go out
and look for other alternatives? Do we want to
continue to hope that
BlueCross is going to cut
some kind of a deal with
the CHI hospital in Nebraska City?" he added.
County employees attending the March 24
meeting expressed their
opinions. Most said BlueCross BlueShield offers
great benefits, but they
don't like the situation between the insurance
provider and CHI.
"My biggest problem is
that NACo tells us during
one of the recent conference calls that they believe CHI and BlueCross
are further apart than they
were last year at this time,"
Nelsen said. "Another
thing that scares me a little bit is if we change in
mid-year, will we start
over on deductions?"
No decision was made
regarding the county
switching
insurance
providers. Nelsen said
commissioners would like
to speak with representatives of CHI Health St.
Mary's and the National
Association of Counties
regarding options, and
then get feedback from
county employees.
In other news, members of the Otoe County
Board of Adjustment were
approved to be reappointed during the meeting.
Those who were reappointed were:

he appreciates the nine-hole lay out

COOKING
From page 1
Andrea's favorite class was also the breakfast class
because she made smoothies with strawberries, watermelon, honey and bananas.
Fifteen-year-old Britnie, whose last name can't be
used, and her mentor, Martha Schaffer of Nebraska
City, made Asian cole slaw and teriyaki beef skewers.
Britnie had never made either before and was excited to try them.
"It's something new," Britnie said.
One thing she's learned from the class is how to
mince garlic. She said before taking the class she wasn't "that good" at cooking, but she's acquiring some
new knowledge in the kitchen.
Eleven-year-old Jenna, who's last name can't be
used, and her mentor, Janice Horan of Nebraska City,
worked feverishly on turkey meatballs with cranberry
sauce.
Jenna had proven that she can take the heat of
working in a kitchen as she pulled her golden brown
meatballs out of the oven.
"You get to learn stuff and try new things," Jenna
said. "I've learned how to use the knife and how to cut,
and learned new recipes to make."
Twelve-year-old Tegan, whose last name can't be
used, and her mentor, Kristina Larson of Nebraska
City, were put in charge of making mini Asian meatloaf.
While waiting for her meal to cook in the oven,
Tegan said that she loves Chinese food and the
cooking class.
"Most of its healthy (food) because there's vegetables," Tegan said. "There is food that I've never
tried before, like sweet potatoes, ginger, hoisin
sauce."
Higgins said that even the adults had learned something from the class.
"I think that every adult would say that they've
learned something here," she said. "This wasn't just
kids cooking."
Stavas said having a cooking class outside of her
own kitchen took some planning.
"It takes a little bit more planning for me to do classes here and make sure that I have all of the ingredients," she said. "I've also learned how to partner people up with a recipe and planning the recipes, and also
trying to expose these kids to something that they may
not have had before - different types of foods that
maybe they're not used to having and they many not
be able to try."
Today from 3:45 to 5 p.m. mentees will pair up with
their mentors for another night of awakening their
taste buds and adding another wrinkle to their
brains as they're exposed to more homemade food.

Husker baseball team
tops Longhorns twice
The Nebraska Cornhusker baseball team
topped No. 16 rated
Texas in the opening
two games of a threegame set at Haymarket
Park over the weekend.
Nebraska defeated
Texas 3-1 on Friday
night and came back
with a 15-inning 1-0
walk off win over the
Longhorns on Saturday.
The two teams were
scheduled to play a
third game on Sunday.
A three-run fifth and
a seven-plus inning
gem by Husker starting
pitcher Chance Sinclair
proved key on Friday
night.
Austin Darby got
NU’s three-run fifth
started with a base hit
and the Huskers quickly had two runners in
scoring position when
Austin Christensen,
who had missed the last
10 games with a hamstring injury, followed
with a double.
Freshman Elijah Dilday broke the scoreless
game with a RBI single,
his first RBI as a
Husker, and Jake
Placzek loaded the
bases with a bunt single.
Ryan Boldt gave the
Huskers a 2-0 lead with
a RBI groundout and
Jake Schleppenbach
chased French from the
game with a RBI single,
the Huskers fifth hit of
the inning. Reliever Ty
Culbreth took over and
stopped the bleeding
with an inning-ending
double play.
Josh Roeder, a native
of Plano, Texas, took
the mound in the ninth
and struck out the first
batter he faced. Collin
Shaw then roped his
14th double of the year
into right field to give
the Longhorns life.
Roeder bounced back
and retired UT’s No. 4
and 5 hitters in order
for his eighth save of
the season and the 26th
of his career.
Deadlocked in a
scoreless game in the
bottom of the 15th inning, senior Austin
Darby delivered a oneout base hit to left field
and Texas’ Ben Johnson booted the ball, allowing Tanner Lubach
to score from second
base for the game-winning run for Nebraska
on Saturday night.
The 1-0 victory
clinched the series for
the Nebraska and
raised its record to 207 on the year.
Kyle Kubat, Jake Hohensee, Colton Howell
and Jeff Chesnut limited the Longhorns to
four hits and three
walks while piling up
19 strikeouts.
Maverick Baseball
Brett Sasse, a former Nebraska City High School pitcher and current sophomore with the University of Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks, has been dealing well of late with six appearances and a 2.38 earned run average
in 11.1 innings pitched. He has struck out nine and walked three. Sasse was scheduled for his first start of
the season last week at Kansas State, but the game was called due to weather. No make up date has been
announced. Sasse did throw for a single scoreless and hitless inning in the Maverick’s 2-0 loss to Oral
Roberts on Friday.

Waverly, weather beat NC teams
Julie Mancini
jmancini@ncnewspress.com
The Nebraska City soccer teams were unsuccessful against the Waverly
Vikings Thursday night.
The girls’ team lost 5-1 on
the road, and the boys’
team lost 1-0 at home.
For the girls’ team, Cloey
Allgood scored the goal
and Beki Warga had the
assist, according to head
coach Brian Hoover.
Worsening weather and
a lack of on-field communication caused problems
for the boys’ team at Pioneer Field.
“We lost 1-0 as we had
an ‘own goal’ 2 minutes
in the first half after a defensive miscommunication,” said boys’ head
coach Jessica Rice. “Five
shots were taken in the
entire game for both teams
as the weather played a
major factor in the decision. “
Coach Rice recognized
senior defender Clayton
Patton and junior midfielder Brayan Cervantes
for their efforts during the
Waverly game. “Defensively, our left back, Clayton Patton played extremely well. His effort
and dedication to this
team is very much appreciated,” she said. “Also,
Brayan Cervantes played
well as he did his best to
lead his team from the
midfield.
“We have a lot of games
left and a lot of work to
do,” said Rice. “If we play
better together, we will be
successful.”
Junior midfielder Brayan Cervantes showed good
leadership during the team’s game against Waverly
last Thursday.

ASK AMY
Time for secret to be revealed?
DEAR AMY: I am the only family
member who knows that a dying
relative has had a secret romantic
relationship for more than a decade.
This relative has been divorced
for almost 20 years. My relative
does not know that I know, and I’ve
had no contact with the significant
other. My relative is suffering from
a terminal illness and lives in my
household. I believe this person
would find great comfort in the
physical presence of this significant
other, but is forgoing that comfort
out of fear that the family will not be
supportive.
It pains me there is something
that might make this difficult
experience more bearable, especially
because I firmly believe that our
family would be accepting.
My relative can only consistently
muster the energy to open letters
that come every few days from this
person. Other mail stays untouched.
I can’t decide if the possibility of
comfort outweighs the potential
devastation of having this secret
revealed. — Worried Family Member
DEAR WORRIED: I believe you
are overthinking this. Your family
member is spending his or her final
days in your home. You can — and

should — offer anything to help.
“Is there anyone you want to see?”
“Can I take you to see someone — or
bring someone here to visit with
you?”
Your family member will either
welcome an offer or shut you down.
Be there; be open; be loving and
generous. Don’t make assumptions.
Let all bets be off.
DEAR AMY: “The Other Mother”
described her experience as a birth
mother who surrendered her child
for adoption and didn’t want to be
contacted.
I found her attitude heartbreaking. I’m also a birth mother, forced
to give up my child for adoption
when I was young. I’ve been searching for my child for many years.
The Other Mother does not speak
for me. — Sad
DEAR SAD: “The Other Mother”
presented a little-heard point of
view. Thank you for yours.

HOPE FOR TODAY
Dear Editor,
As I look back on my
journey as a cancer patient and advocate, I am
thankful for the support
of Nebraska City residents.
Working on the cancer
survivors' park and ministry have prepared me
for the next step. I am
currently involved in a
review of a book being
written for cancer patients. This book is part of
Stephens Ministry, a
worldwide caregiving
ministry started in the
1970s.
A group of local residents is being trained to
become Stephens ministers. The book for cancer
patients, survivors and
their families will be available later this year.
Since I have been part
of the book review team,
it has given me a chance
to share my life experiences with the editors of
this book. One story is
how I relate an experience
I had last fall at a local
hospital to my experience
of going through cancer.
I was exiting the building when I found that I
had become trapped in
the vestibule door area. It
lasted for one and a half
hours until a visitor who
was coming downstairs
found me. The sensors to
the electric doors had
shorted out. I tried the
emergency lever on the
heavy glass door and it
was stuck. I even tried
pounding on the doors to
signal some women walking their dogs on a nearby street. They thought I
was waving, and they
waved back.
I relate this life experience of being trapped for
90 minutes to how I felt
as I was going through
cancer treatment.
1. A cancer diagnosis
can cause you to feel
trapped in an unwanted
situation.
2. Having cancer can
be like trying to open
heavy glass doors that
have become stuck. It is
impossible to do it on
your own.
3. You feel alone and
scared because you don't
know what the final outcome will be.
4. You need to pray for
your situation.
5. You may meet others
who are critical of your
situation and question
why you did not handle
things differently. The reality is that if they were in
the same situation the
may also react the same
way. A person's treatment
choices have to be up to
him.
The upcoming book
will have stories and comments from cancer patients all over the country,
including myself.

Leypoldt publishes memoir entitled:
Lost in Wonder, Love and Praise
Tammy Partsch
Special to the News-Press
Pulling together his experiences as a pastor,
businessman, husband,
and father, former Otoe
County resident Chuck
Leypoldt has published a
book about his life.
The memoir, “Lost in
Wonder, Love, and
Praise,” is titled after a
line in the Charles Wesley
hymn “Love Divine, All
Loves Excelling.”
Leypoldt has spent his
entire life in Nebraska.
The son of a preacher,
Leypoldt grew up in
Methodist church parsonages across the state.
His book details his
childhood when he was
influenced by, as he says,
“Methodism,
Cornhuskerism, and Republicanism.”
The book also chroni-
cles Leypoldt’s time in
college at Nebraska Wesleyan University, and his
life after college.
His connection to Otoe
County began in 1979
when Leypoldt was assigned as pastor of the
United
Methodist
Churches of Douglas and
Burr.
Leypoldt also
served as the business
manager and grain merchandiser of Douglas
Grain, Inc., from 19791981.
Leypoldt expanded his
career in 1981 when he
started working for Douglas Real Estate and
Dunlap Insurance in
Douglas, a job he held
until 1987.
Leypoldt also worked
for Farmers Bank in Douglas, serving as assistant
vice president in 1981 and
1982 and executive vice
president and CEO from
1982-1987.
During that time, from
1983 to 1985, Leypoldt
was the Clerk Treasurer of
the Village of Douglas.
Leypoldt and his wife,
Christine, have two grown
children and three grandchildren. He has been
retired from Church Mutual Insurance Company
since 2012.
“Lost in Wonder, Love,
and Praise” is interspersed
with Biblical Scripture
which Leypoldt relates to
his own life.
It also contains many
photographs that Leypoldt has taken over the
years.
Copies of “Lost in Wonder, Love, and Praise,”
which was released in
January 2015, can be ordered from Leypoldt’s
w e b s i t e ,

Divisions regarding Christ
involve divinity not history
Clint Decker
Guest Columnist
The Quran says about
Jesus, “Christ Jesus the
son of Mary was (no more
than) a Messenger of Allah, and His Word,” The
Quran 4:171.
The Jehovah’s Witness
New World Translation
says He was “a god” (John
1:1). Notice the small “g.”
Rabbi Shraga Simmons
says that, according to Judaism, “Jews do not accept Jesus as the messiah.”
The existence of God is
denied by millions. However, world religions, historians and most people
agree in the existence of
Jesus. Agreement gathers around what He did
calling Him a good man,
miracle-worker or powerful teacher. Interestingly though, when we move
from “what Jesus did” to
“who He was” division begins.
The main point of tension is this statement Jesus is the one true God
in human flesh. Despite
centuries of heated disagreement such a statement reveals who He really is.
It all started with Jesus
who once said about Himself, “Whoever has seen
me has seen the Father,”
John 14:9. Or in other
words, “When you see me,
you see God.”
Again, most people also
agree Jesus died, but why
did He? Those who actually conspired to put Him
to death tell us it was because He claimed to be
God. They once accused
Him saying, “you, being a
man, make yourself God,”
John 11:33.
His fierce opponents
did not realize how they
were helping the world
to know who He truly
was. Jesus ultimately died
because He claimed to be
God, which He did openly for all to see and hear.
Then three days later He
rose from the dead validating everything He had
spoke of.
Why does this point of
Jesus being God matter?
The Nebraska City Ministerial Association would like to invite the community to our Community Good Friday Service at Noon on Friday, April 3.
The service will take place at First
Presbyterian Church (1005 First Corso).
Peru State College has
partnered with the Rural
Futures Institute Nebraska legislators, the University of Nebraska Medical
Center (UNMC), area
health departments and
others to offer an innovative online course titled
Principles of Community
Engagement in Public
Because it changes everything.
What if an atheist who
agreed in the existence of
the historical Jesus also
believed He was God? It
would change everything.
What if a Muslim who
accepted that Jesus was a
great prophet also believed He was God?
It would change everything.
What if a Jew who
agreed that Jesus was a
great teacher also believed
He was the true Messiah?
It would change everything.
Most
importantly
though, what do you believe? A good man cannot
forgive your sin; only Jesus can. A miracle-worker cannot remove your
guilt and shame; only Jesus can.
A powerful teacher cannot redeem your life from
the pits of despair; only
Jesus can.
Believe in Him with all
your heart, soul, mind
and strength. May Jesus
be your hope for today.
Pastor Bill Switzer of Bethel United
Church of Christ will be provide the
message and an offering will be collected to assist those in need of financial assistance for the Otoe County
Handi-Bus.
Health: Service Learning,
Community-Based Participatory Research, Leadership and Civic Engagement (SOC 395).
The objective of the
course is to utilize community-based participatory research, civic engagement, and service learning
in order to increase com-
munity capacity as well as
the confidence of rural
people to address their
challenges and opportunities in public health.
The course is being piloted at Peru State College
this spring and will be offered at other Nebraska
State Colleges in spring
2016.

A moving team from Action Movers
in Omaha, a company that specializes in
moving pianos, hauled a Conover baby
grand piano from Farmers Bank &
Trust Co. and delivered it to Lourdes
Central Catholic School last Thursday.
The movers took the legs off the piano,
wrapped it in moving blankets and
rolled it out of the building on a moving
dolly. Arvon and Lu Marcotte donated
the instrument to the school, where it
will be used primarily for performances, said music teacher Lesley Gould. It

will “live” on the stage in the Lourdes
Theater.
“We’ll have lots of opportunities to use
it throughout the year,” said Gould,
who said Lourdes was “thrilled that Lu
and Arvon were so generous to give us
this great gift.” Gould added that Mrs.
Marcotte’s sister was an accomplished
pianist who played the baby grand regularly.
“The Marcottes have taken care of the
piano,” she added. “It’s in excellent
shape.”
