Grayson Path of Jetmore, Kan., and MikeFriend of Omaha were the two candidatesinterviewed for the city administrator position.Mark Marcotte of Nebraska City and SunshineTaylor of Auburn were the two city clerk-treasurer candidates that were interviewed.The city clerk-treasurer and city adminis-trator positions have been vacant since thecouncil voted at the Dec. 1 council meetingto not reappoint Arnold Ehlers as the cityclerk-treasurer and Joe Johnson as the cityadministrator.The interviews began at 8 a.m. and thelast one wrapped up at about 10:50 a.m.New Mayor Bryan Bequette then discussedthe hiring process."All candidates have been reviewed andthe final candidates, which were interviewedtoday, have been well reviewed and scrubbedat this point," said Bequette, who was justappointed as Nebraska City's new mayorApril 15. "So with going forward, it's my jobMonday night to try and bring an appoint-ment for both positions at our next councilmeeting."City Attorney David Partsch said therewere 13 candidates a piece for both positions.Originally the hiring committee, comprisedof Finance Commissioner and former ActingMayor Mindy Briley, Public Works Com-missioner Jim Stark and Partsch, had inter-viewed the candidates. "We interviewed three for each spot andthen the mayor reviewed all of the candidates,"Partsch said. "Basically, he started his reviewprocess from scratch to review all of the ap-

plications and then selected the two for thefinal interviews." Bequette was encouraged by the final can-didates and is confident that the positionswill be filled soon. "I was impressed withthem on paper obviously," Bequette said."But I was also impressed after the interview." Street Commissioner Vic Johns and ParksCommissioner Jeff Crunk were equally im-pressed with the candidates, and it will be anail-bitter at Monday's council meeting.

"I thought we had some well-rounded out-standing candidates. I think the mayor has abig job in narrowing it down," Johns said. "Ithink we have outstanding candidates and Ilook forward to hearing his recommendation." "I think we have some very good candi-dates," Crunk said. "They have differing levelsof experience, but that could work out verywell to the city's advantage."

Otoe County Commissioners updated on bridge, road workNikki [email protected]

County commissioners zippedthrough a list of agenda itemsduring the Otoe County Com-missioners meeting Tuesdaymorning. Work on the county'sroads always remains constant.Otoe County Roads supervisorJonathan Brinkman updatedcommissioners on a couple ofongoing projects.Brinkman said the roads crewhas removed a bridge northwestof Talmage at R and 46th roadsand is replacing it with a coupleof culverts. He added that a cul-vert has been replaced at L and68th roads southeast of NebraskaCity and the crew is removingtrees and doing backhoeing workat the site, which used to be adumpsite.Commissioners also appointedpeople to serve on various boardsduring the meeting:

� William Umland, HowardBebout, Loreen Haupt and CheriWirthele were reappointed tothe Otoe County Planning Com-missioner by the commissioners.

� Erin Velazco of Syracusewill serve on the Otoe CountyVisitors Committee.

� And Stephen Wademan of

Nebraska City will serve on theOtoe County Veterans ServiceCommittee. Another road and bridge itemdiscussed was purchasing a tarkettle to fill in cracks on hard-surfaced county roads. Brinkman informed commis-sioners that prices for a new tarkettle would range between$43,000 to $48,000 and pricesfor a used one would be between$25,000 to $28,000. However,another option would be for thecounty to rent a tar kettle for$440 a day.Commissioner Rick Freshmanfelt the prices were a little steepand he also didn't want to usethe limited number of countyroads employees for the project. "We might be better off hiringthat to be done by a professionalcompany, depending on costs,and not take away from our con-struction crew," Freshman said. The commissioners askedBrinkman to get quotes fromprofessional companies to dothe work. In other news, commissionersalso discussed the county'sdeputies salaries, including court-house and Otoe County Sheriff'sOffice deputies. Chairman Tim Nelsen said a

new state statute, Legislative Bill560, has changed the law re-garding deputies now being paidhourly as of Jan. 1. Nelsen saidhe has contacted the County At-torney's Office to appoint a com-mittee to talk with the State Au-ditor's Office to make certainthe county is taking the propersteps to ensure deputies are get-ting paid what they're supposedto be getting paid. Deputy CountyAttorney John Palmtag agreedthat forming a committee wouldhelp alleviate questions or con-cerns regarding deputies' pay."There's a lot of confusion. Sowe just want to make sure thatwe get a committee together,"Palmtag said, "and just kind oftalk through the process andmake sure that everybody is get-ting paid the same through thechanges, if we ultimately have tomake some, and everyone kindof understands what's going on." After a brief recess, commis-sioners then spoke with NationalAssociation of Counties market-ing coordinator Dennis Maggartof Lincoln about the county'shealth insurance options. The next commissioners' meet-ing will be May 12 in the OtoeCounty Courthouse at 8:45 a.m.The public is welcome to attend.

Path travelled over six hoursfor his interview first thing Tues-day morning. Path said he andhis wife, Katie, are wanting tostart and raise a family in Ne-braska City because of its "small-town" atmosphere. "I am interested in the positionfor many reasons. First off, Ne-braska City would be an excellentlocation for my wife and I to startand raise a family. It brings uscloser to our family as well asprovides resources, such as stores,recreation activities, excellentschools, a great church and more,"he said. "Secondly, I am very ex-cited at the opportunity to workwith the great city staff. I haveheard nothing but great thingsfrom other sources and thereforewould greatly enjoy teaming upwith them to tackle any issuesthat currently or will face thecity."Thirdly, its the home of ArborDay.

"I can alreadyforesee my wife and I pulling ourbikes out, our walking shoes andour comfortable clothes and tra-versing every square inch of thisbeautiful community."Path is currently the city ad-ministrator of Jetmore and wasits first administrator.

"To the city council, I wishthem best of luck as they tacklethis heavy and difficult decision.It is my prayer that they are ableto determine the right course fortheir community, both now andin the future," Path said. "To the citizens of NebraskaCity, continue to provide thecouncil with your support throughcomments, ideas and attendingthe meetings.

“They came with a vi-sion.”Those are the words

carved out of the wood atthe bottom of the largewood structure on the wallof the cafeteria in Nebras-ka City Middle School. You should really check

it out, but make sure youcheck in with Joan at theoffice first.The large art piece de-

picts the first settlers herein the Nebraska Territory. In the stories I hear

about those first trailblaz-ers, those pioneers thatcrossed the Missouri Riv-er, set up homesteads, andplanted the seeds that to-day is Nebraska City Ihear a call to risk. We all have a vision,

some big, some small.Some have dreams ofmaking it big on Broad-way; some have dreamsof finding their next meal. We all have visions. We have visions for our

lives, our careers, our chil-dren, and, sometimes, wehave a vision for our com-munity.I certainly have had vi-

sions for my life. I will tell you that none

of them involved me beinga pastor in Nebraska. In fact, most of my

friends from high schoolare surprised that a) I’m

alive and b) I’m a pastor. Most of my visions in-

volved me playing outfieldfor the Atlanta Braves. It’s funny how our vi-

sion gets molded andshifted, gets reshaped aswe move along the jour-ney of life. Through the ups and

downs, the victories andlosses, the joy and pain. I have a vision for my

kids, they will be kind,they will be responsible,they will do well in school,they will go to a good col-lege, they will succeedwhere I have failed.The problem with that

vision for my kids is thatit’s not their vision. Now, I as their parent,

have some say in a few ofthose, but what they wantto be, who they want tobe will, ultimately, be up

to them to figure out forthemselves. We will have to work

together to mold andshape their vision and myvision so that it can beour vision as a family, ourvision as members of thecommunity in which welive. I think sometimes we

forget that our personalvision does not occur in avacuum.It involves other people,

it involves cooperation, itinvolves molding andshifting, reshaping andredirecting, it involvestime and energy. Unfortunately, I think

we may have lost thatpiece of the vision process.The piece that involvesworking together to makea better vision. I have a vision for this

community. I even havea platform in which toshare that vision, but myvision is incomplete. I know there a lot of

people with their own vi-sion for our community;I know there are evensome people that sharethe same vision for ourcommunity; but they arestill missing something. The missing piece is the

fact that individuals andgroups don’t share theirvisions with others that

might have a different vi-sion. We need to talk inorder to mold and shapeour visions together toseek the welfare of thecommunity.Maybe, if we could do

that, if we could work to-gether to do the hard workthat is the work of realcommunity in another 150years there will be a pieceof art seen by hundredsof children remindingthem that when their an-cestors were here “Theycame with a vision.”

At dinner every night,my family goes aroundthe table and shares theirhigh points and low pointsof the day. We call it “Fa-vorite” and “Not Favorite”.Here are my “Favorites”and “Not Favorites” of theweek.

Favorite: Standing inthe rain, getting a chanceto smile and wave at allthe participants in the Ar-bor Day Parade. It wasan honor to serve on theArbor Day Committee thisyear.

Not Favorite: Therewere two U6 soccer gamesscheduled at the sametime and our game wasplayed on a field markedout by cones without linesor goals. There was a holebig enough to fit a soccerball that almost broke myankle. We need morefields.

Working together, sharingmakes visions come to fruition

Thanks to hard work bylocal residents, downtownNebraska City got a freshlook just in time for ArborDay.As part of the Great

American Clean Up spon-sored by the Keep AmericaBeautiful campaign andorganized by the NebraskaCity Tourism and Com-merce Community Devel-opment Committee, citi-zens gathered in down-town Nebraska City onWednesday, April 22, tocollect litter and clean thebump outs.“I always enjoy partici-

pating in this,” saidStephanie Farmer. “It isone day you know you arepart of a collective effortto clean up and beautifyyour historic communi-ty.”Nebraska City has par-

ticipated in the nationalevent for many years. Pre-viously, teams have vol-unteered to beautify theentrances to NebraskaCity, local parks, and Ar-bor Lodge. The event nor-mally takes place in theweeks preceding ArborDay.Erika Simpson spent

most of her afternoonweeding a bump out atthe corner of 7th Streetand Central Avenue.“I think it is great to

walk downtown and seea beautiful space,” Simp-son said. “If you make itpretty, you can see all thecare people put into theworld.”

�� Arbor Lanes was hop-

ping Friday night for theirBowl-O-Ghetti event.

From 5 to 8 p.m. cus-tomers could enjoy all-you-can-eat spaghetti withgarlic bread and one hourof bowling. Some of the customers

said they were there toload up on spaghetti forthe next day's runningevent, but most were justthere for the fun of it, andeveryone said the spaghettiwas great. The early portion of the

evening was dominatedby families, with manyyoung children startingout by lining balls up onbowling ramps and othersfree throwing the bowlingballs all by themselves.Bumpers were up onmany of the lanes, andmore pins stood then fell,but it didn't seem to mat-ter to the children.Live folk, country and

bluegrass music was pro-vided by Laurie Fraser andPaul Baker of "CommonGround," and they were

kind enough to allow someof the children to help ac-company them with mara-cas and a tambourine. From 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.,

it was Cosmic Bowlingtime, with two hours ofbowling and one free soda,water or domestic beer,and it was the adults' timeto come out and play.

Lewis and Clark Centerunveils new interactiveSandy [email protected]

Visitors to the Lewis andClark Missouri River BasinVisitors Center on ArborDay weekend got to trytheir hands at their newinteractive exhibit, steer-ing a pirogue up the Mis-souri River.David Beck, a professor

from the University ofWisconsin-Stout and fre-quent visitor to the Centercame up with the idea forthe interactive exhibit andasked the Center if they'dlike him to create the one-of-a-kind video game forthem. Now visitors can stand

aboard the pirogue, withtiller in hand, steering andwatching the screen infront of them, which re-alistically portrays thesights, sounds, and im-pressions of what it would

have been like to navigatethe boat up the MissouriRiver in 1804. The person manning the

tiller has to steer the boatup the channel, avoidingsnags and accidentalgrounding, and steeringclose enough to shore topick up three bags of foodhunters left behind. Theeventual destination is acampsite 15 miles up-stream.According to Doug

Friedli, Program Directorat the Center, it took Beckand his students aboutone year to create the in-teractive game, and it wasjust difficult enough thatmost people might notmake it all the way to thecampsite without ground-ing or hitting a snag. Tomake it from the begin-ning all the way to thecampsite would take aboutseven minutes.

Friedli and Brian Volk-mer loaned their voice tal-ents to the production andcan be heard as part ofthe interaction during thetrip upstream.The Center was excited

to get this exhibit up andrunning and dedicated itto the "explorers of allages." The children pres-ent on Saturday lined upfor their chance to steerthe boat, taking multipleturns, and several of theadults looked like they'dlike to give it a try if no-body would see themcrash.Friedli and Erv Friesen,

General Manager of theCenter, expect this exhibitto continue to be a bigdraw to visitors and lookforward to sharing it witharea students when theycome to tour the Lewisand Clark Missouri RiverBasin Visitors Center.

David Wells, vice presi-dent and historian at theGrand Army of the Re-public Museum, acted asdocent and time travelguide in leading ArborDay visitors through ex-hibits and back in timeon Saturday.It’s been 150 years since

the conclusion of the CivilWar, but Wells did hisbest to make it seem likethe war ended just yester-day by walking around theMuseum with visitors,showing them Civil Warera uniforms, weapons,artillery, music and med-ical equipment, and askingthem to imagine them-selves in that era.For the younger visitors

the museum had justadded children's costumesthat they could try on andthey took turns becomingNorthern or Southern sol-diers or women/childrenfrom that time period.Wells said he likes to

get children interested andinvolved in the subject and

make it more interactiveto engage them. He saidchildren are amazed andamused when he tellsthem that as long as theycould walk and see, hadall their fingers and atleast two teeth (one topand one bottom), theycould have been soldiersin the Civil War.For students and older

visitors, volunteers in themuseum are more thanhappy to talk about theorigin of the G.A.R. Halland Nebraska's role in theCivil War, as well as lifeand times during the CivilWar and after. The large diorama of

Pickett's Charge makes agood focal point for a vividdescription of how andwhy that battle took place,and what went wrong forthe South, and helps visi-tors actually picture theevent.Wells said they were also

adding video footage ofthat battle from the movie"Gettysburg" to the Mu-seum's attractions, to fur-ther stir the imaginationand interest of visitors.

The Kimmel HardingNelson Center for the Artsin Nebraska City unveileda new exhibit last weekand it already has peoplebuzzing.The “BEE-NEFIT” by

Ashley Ryba of Lincoln isan interactive installationfeaturing 200 ceramichexagon cells arranged likea honeycomb. Ryba, whowas a resident artist at theKHN last fall, created herproject to educate the pub-lic about the plight of thehoney bee.“The honey bee is our

state insect and it is reallyrelevant to our area,” Rybasaid. “They pollinate athird of what we eat andare a multi-billion dollarindustry, but their declin-ing numbers is alarming.”Ryba cites a 2006 report

that indicated largeamounts of honey beeswere disappearing. Sci-entists have not exactlypinpointed the source of

the problem, but possibil-ities include increased useof insecticides and a de-crease of habitat. Rybasaid she started developingthe project as she was pon-dering the criteria for theKimmel FoundationEmerging Artist Award,which she won.“I needed to submit an

idea that had to do withNebraska,” Ryba recalled.The hexagon cells do nothave a specific function,but are designed to be con-versation starters aboutthe importance of bees.The cells are displayed

on the gallery floor at theKHN. Visitors are askedto take a cell home withthem, along with a packetof seeds. While the exhibitis scheduled to remain atthe KHN until May 22,Ryba said the project willend when all the cells aretaken.The KHN Center for the

Arts in Nebraska City isfree and open to the publicMonday through Friday,10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Holmberg, “but theirplayers are fundamen-tally sound in every as-pect of the game, butwe couldn't find manyweaknesses to take ad-vantage of. “I think we have a

envisioned, and a lot ofthat was the course. It isthe toughest one we playon all year and our scoresshowed that.”The course exposed the

team’s inconsistency, saidKinnison. “We had guysplay well in stretches, butthen we would have a cou-ple of round-wreckingholes,” he said.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPEToday’s Birthday (05/01/15). Your year orbits around home and family. You’re growing your nest egg. Focus more on planning before June 14, and implemen-tation after. Slow down around September 15. October eclipses (October 13 and 27) prompt new fun and romance as well as intro-spective discovery. Release old baggage and clutter. Prioritize love. Set your spirit free.Aries (March 21-April 19) — You’re learning voraciously. Communication flows with Mer-cury in Gemini for the next three weeks. Record flashes of brilliance to follow up on later.Taurus (April 20-May 20) — The next few weeks should be good for making money, with Mercury in Gemini. Research profitable possi-bilities. Find new ways to cut costs. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — You have a greater mental advantage for about three weeks, with Mer-cury in your sign. You are especially quick and can find the answers you need to make your case. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Allow yourself more contemplation time over the next three weeks, with Mercury in Gemini. Overlooked details could cause delays.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Negotia-tions go well. There’s more time for fun later. Your friends are eager to help and the team’s especially hot for the next few weeks, with

Mercury in Gemini.Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Career opportunities arise over the next three weeks, if you’re up for the challenge. Stay respectful with elders and authority figures.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Financial paperwork makes more sense. Review your budget over the next three weeks. Discuss desired changes with your team. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Find ways to empower your partner over the next three weeks, with Mercury in Gemini. Brain-storm solutions together. Learn from each other. Be respectful. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Carefully craft the wording of your statements. Your work is getting more very interesting over the next three weeks, with Mercury in Gemini. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Communication barriers dissolve over the next three weeks with Mercury in Gemini. It’s easier to see past the hype to the funda-mental truths of a situation. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — It’s easier to express yourself at home for the next few weeks, with Mercury in Gemini. Talk with family.

ASK AMY

Hubby’s jealousy is on the riseDEAR AMY: I’ve been mar-

ried to my husband for close to two years, and we are happy, although we have our ups and downs like other couples.

When we were dating and engaged, he had a little problem with jealousy, and I thought it would tone down after we were married.

Now, two years in, his jealousy seems to have gotten worse. He keeps tabs on my whereabouts and social media, and he ignores me if I talk to another man.

He has to be in constant contact when I’m out with my girlfriends. I’ve never cheated, or even given him the idea that I was interested in another man.

I don’t want to leave him, I just wish I knew what I could do to help him feel more secure about our relationship.

Is it time to bring up the idea of a trial separation to spend some time apart while he works on this? — Discouraged Wife

DEAR DISCOURAGED: If your husband is growing more

possessive and jealous as time goes on, it does not bode well for the health of your relationship long term.

Some spouses and partners gaslight their significant others into believing that jealousy and surveillance are signs of love and deep attachment. They aren’t. In fact, they convey the opposite of love. This behavior is pathologi-cal. It says everything about your husband’s insecurities and the lengths to which he will go to tamp down his anxiety.

I don’t believe your husband’s behavior will improve without concentrated professional help. He should understand that your marriage is on the line — and yes, a separation while you both seek counseling sounds like a good idea.
