Hebron Christmas Stroll...

Deer tags down...

Bleich, Harold E., 72, Fairbury

Schnegelberger, Elizabeth V., 80, Missouri

Get ready for Hebron’s Christmas Stroll this Sunday, Dec. 4, hosted by the Chamber of Commerce.

The annual event features area business open houses, the “lucky shopper” contest, a freewill soup luncheon, horse drawn trolley rides, a free movie, Courthouse tours and visits with Santa.

Each year local retail stores hold Christmas open houses featuring plenty of special deals for your holiday shopping needs. Be a lucky shopper by watching for the Mystery Santa. If he asks you a Christmas trivia question and you answer correctly, you’ll win a prize.

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Grace Lutheran Church will hold a soup luncheon to get the day started. Horse drawn trolley rides by Oregon Trail Trolley Company will be on the move at Roosevelt Park beginning at 12:30 p.m.

From noon to 2 p.m., youngsters are invited to visit Santa at his house in Roosevelt Park. Kids can also bring their letters to mail in Santa’s mailbox.

During the stroll, the holiday dec-orated Thayer County Courthouse will be open for special tours.

Wrapping up the afternoon events, the Thayer County Min-isterial Alliance is sponsoring a free movie for kids at the Majestic Theatre at 2 p.m.

Nebraska Corn Board member Mark Jagels, a farmer from Daven-port, was elected vice-chair of the U.S. Meat Export Federation (US-MEF) at the organization’s recent annual conference in Tucson, Ariz. Jagels served as USMEF secretary/treasurer over the previous year.

“I had a great experience over this past year as an offi cer for USMEF and am looking forward to continu-ing to serve,” said Jagels, a fourth generation farmer who lives on the home place that was originally homesteaded in 1885.

“USMEF strives to open markets around the world and increase sales of U.S. pork and beef in those markets,” Jagels said. “Its work is important to the success of Nebraska beef and pork producers, as every pound of meat exported adds value to cattle and hogs. That, in turn, helps ensure good demand for Nebraska corn and distillers grains to be fed to those livestock.”

According to USMEF estimates, so far this year the export value of beef equates to more than $200 per head of each steer and heifer pro-cessed. For pork, the export value is $55 for each hog processed.

Jagels farms with his dad, raising corn and soybeans, feeding cattle and running a cow/calf operation. Before being elected an offi cer last year, Jagels served as a member of the USMEF executive committee representing feed grains, and has co-chaired USMEF’s Feed Grains and Oilseed Committee.

“Mark took his personal interest in expanding U.S. beef and pork exports and looked to be the Nebraska Corn Board’s representative with USMEF several years ago. He’s done an excellent job representing Nebraska producers and producers across the country,” said Don Hutchens, execu-tive director of the Nebraska Corn Board. “A year ago, he became the fi rst Nebraska Corn Board member

to serve as an offi cer on USMEF’s board in 24 years, and we’re glad he has taken on a new role this year.”

The Nebraska Corn Board so strongly believes in USMEF’s mission that it has supported the organization with corn checkoff dollars since USMEF was founded in 1979.

“Nebraska farmers recognized early on the importance of meat ex-ports to the success of the livestock industry and how that impacts the demand for feed corn and the feed ingredient distillers grains,” Jagels said. “When you consider that 95 percent of the world’s population lives outside the United States, and the fact that U.S. producers are so skilled in what they do, it makes sense to look to other countries and grow

markets. It’s how we’ll be successful long-term.”

Other officers elected to the USMEF board include Danita Rodibaugh, a pork producer from Rensselaer, Ind., who was chosen as chair; Steve Isaf, president of Interra International, Atlanta, Ga., who was chosen as chair-elect, and Leann Saunders, president of IMI Global, Inc., of Castle Rock, Colo., who was chosen as secretary-treasurer.

The Nebraska Corn Board is a self-help program, funded and managed by Nebraska corn farmers. Producers invest in the program at a rate of 1/4 of a cent per bushel of corn sold. Nebraska corn checkoff funds are invested in programs of market development, research and education.

“That’s down from last year,” said manager Delores Boman adding that the total was 616 in 2010.

Hunters had until 1 p.m. Wednes-day to turn in tags since the season was extended two days for those participating in the earn-a-buck program.

The Hebron Secrest Library will host a special Holiday Story Time, Saturday, Dec. 3, at 10 a.m. “The man with the great white beard will be joining us once again,” said Secrest librarian Terry Olson adding that everyone is welcome and to be sure to bring cameras.

“We have many wonderful children and adult holiday books right now,” she said noting that the library’s collection can be viewed online at hebronsecrest.biblionix.com. “Simply type the address into your browser’s search engine and be sure to take a look at What’s Hot.”

Olson added that OverDrive, the library’s new digital library is now activated where e-books and audio books are currently available for checking out. The digital collection is compatible with the Nook, Sony, and Kindle readers, I-Pads, I-Pods, and many other electronic devices. “You’ll need to stop in at the library to get your personal identifi cation number and password,” she said adding that the site can be easily activated from your home once you have these items.

The Nebraska Public Power Board of Directors approved a 6.5

percent average rate increase for its wholesale and retail customers to take effect Jan. 1. The City of Hebron was warned about the rate increase earlier this year. The aver-age residential customer who uses 1,000 kilowatt-hours a month will pay about $9 more.

NPPD offi cials said four percent-age points could be attributed to a 75 percent increase in coal transporta-tion costs next year, while the re-mainder of the utility’s increase was from an increase in the annual debt payments for investments in electric system plants and facilities.

Hebron council members will present an ordinance at their next meeting this Monday night showing how the increase in wholesale rates will affect local customers.

At the November meeting, the council announced a decision to raise the rates by four percent and the service fee by one dollar. “Our other option was to increase rates by fi ve percent and leave the service charge alone,” said council woman Beth Goldhammer at the November meeting.

Council president Larry Fangmeier warned the council about the ex-pected increase in October. “We are looking at a six percent increase,” he said at the October meeting, and added that the utility committee was going to research the peak period to see how much effect the raise would have. “No one likes to see their elec-tricity rates go up, but we won’t be able to sustain the wholesale increase without raising the rates.”

In November, Goldhammer said the four percent increase plus one dollar service charge really benefi ts commercial users in that a fi ve per-cent increase would have cost them more. “The one dollar increase to the service fee spreads the cost across the board,” she said and added that commercial service charges would move from $9 to $10 a month while residential fees will go from $6 to $7.

Details of the new ordinance will be presented Monday night, Dec. 5, at the regular city council meeting at City Hall beginning at 7:30 p.m. A complete agenda can be found at the city offi ces.

Legislators urge US Postal Service to reconsider study

State lawmakers approved a reso-lution urging the U.S. Postal Service to reconsider its recent study that could lead to post offi ce closures in rural Nebraska. Both Byron and Carleton are included in the study.

The resolution by Sen. LeRoy Louden of Ellsworth comes in re-sponse to an ongoing USPS review of 90 postal outlets in rural Nebraska. The Postal Service released a list earlier this summer of approximately 3,700 outlets nationwide earmarked for the study that could lead to closure.

In mid-October, Byron postal service patrons met with USPS senior manager of Nebraska and Kansas post office operations, Howard Nissen, in hopes of keeping their brick-and-mortar offi ce open. Carleton patrons met with him two weeks later.

Essentially, Nissen told Byron patrons, the secret to keeping the offi ces open was to create more revenue. Both Byron and Carleton were ‘tagged’ because both operate at a net loss, he said.

Sen. Louden said last week that the post offi ce should turn its study to pension costs and other expenses before jumping in to close offi ces widely viewed as crucial to small-town economics.

At the Byron meeting, resident Susan Tietjen said in an appeal to

keep the offi ce open that 49 busi-nesses and organizations use the Byron post offi ce.

But the Postal Service is governed by federal mandates when it comes to pensions and other expenses, like health insurance and postal rates, Nissen said. “We’re the only busi-ness in the United States that has these mandates.”

In August, the USPS said it was considering closing post offi ces in an effort to save money. The organiza-tion lost about $8.5 billion in 2010 and expects to lose another $8 billion in 2011. The federally-mandated pen-sion plan for employees is mostly to blame, offi cials said.

In September, U.S. Postal Service president and chief marketing/sales offi cer Paul Vogel said USPS needed to either ask for legislative changes that put the business on a level playing fi eld with the way a normal business operates, or continue to reduce the infrastructure, including plants and post offi ces, to become more effi cient.

Several senators have commented that their constituents continue to voice concerns about their brick-and-mortar offi ces closing. In Byron, Nissen said if the offi ce were to close there would still be delivery; however, patrons would have to travel to the Hebron post offi ce for other services.

Lawmakers approved the measure (LR8) with a 34-0 vote.

Study should include other costs like pensions

Common Sense SolutionThe special session of the

Nebraska Legislature is over and Nebraska now has an oil pipeline siting process. I signed LB 1 and LB 4 into law on Tuesday, November 22nd.

LB 4 will address the circumstances that exist regarding the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline. The Nebraska Department of Environmental Qual-ity will now work with the U.S. Department of State to develop a Memorandum of Understanding on how to move forward.

Additionally, the Nebras-ka Department of Environ-mental Quality will contract with an engineering fi rm

to conduct a supplemental environmental impact state-ment of any new pipeline segments that avoid the environmentally sensitive Sand Hills area of Nebraska. Once this process is com-pleted, the fi ndings of the supplemental environmental impact statement will be submitted for my review.

As Governor, I am re-quired to recommend to the U.S. Department of State the approval or disapproval of the proposed route. The Obama Administration will then make the fi nal decision about building the Keystone XL Pipeline.

LB1 outlines the proce-dures for siting any future oil pipeline in the State of

Nebraska. This law will require an oil pipeline car-rier proposing to construct a major oil pipeline to be placed in operation in Nebraska after November 23, 2011, to fi le an applica-tion with the Public Service Commission and receive approval before beginning construction. Extensive procedures are contained in the law for the Commission to follow before it ultimately decides whether a proposed oil pipeline would serve the public interest.

I want to thank the citi-zens of Nebraska for their thoughtful, sincere com-ments during this process. You expressed your opinions at two State Department

hearings in Atkinson and Lincoln in late September. You shared your thoughts at three days of public hearings during the special session of the Legislature.

Several members of the Legislature and I had separate meetings with the U.S. Department of State about Nebraska’s concerns. These meetings were useful, productive and positive.

I really appreciate the work of the Legislature during the special session. The end result is a Nebraska common sense solution that is refl ected in LB 1 and LB 4. Citizen input made the difference.

Livestock producers often think their prairie hay or cane hay or other grass hay looks re-ally good but when a lab tested it the relative feed value, also called RFV, was surprisingly low. Protein was good, TDN was okay, and the animals did just fi ne. So what’s wrong with relative feed value?

Well actually, nothing is wrong. But we must under-stand how RFV is calculated and how it should be used. First, relative feed value is calculated using only fi ber values. Even though protein certainly affects the value of hay, it has absolutely no affect on the calculation of relative feed value.

Relative feed value was ini-tially developed for the dairy industry. It was designed to help rank the potential energy intake of different hays by lactating dairy cows. And it does this quite well, especially for legumes like alfalfa.

Grass hay, though, is a bit more diffi cult. Grass has more fi ber than alfalfa, which lowers

its RFV. But, that fi ber often is more digestible than alfalfa fi ber. So grass hay is frequently ranked lower than it should be using relative feed value.

Also, RFV doesn’t predict performance by other types of animals, like beef cows, as well because potential energy intake does not have as much infl uence on their performance.

What this basically means is that when you feed grass hay to animals other than dairy cows, focus on crude protein and TDN.

The RFV is much less im-portant and could cause you to worry more than its worth.

UN-L Cooperative Extension for Thayer and Nuckolls Counties

The Chester Legacy group continues to keep its village on the Thayer County radar much the same as other community groups do with their own sections of the “good life” state. By promoting the town’s assets, such as the auditorium, or inviting veterans to travel south for an evening of old-time entertain-ment, such as the recently presented USO Tribute Show, the Legacy group continues to send out the message that everyone is welcome to their community on the border.

The group is behind keeping the community’s auditorium ship-shape for anyone to use and anyone who does use it will often fi nd several helping hands by way of the Legacy. So, when Jane Dodes decided to hold a tribute show to honor all veterans at the auditorium, the group jumped in to assist. And, as they say, one hand washes the other, so Dodes was only too happy to let the Legacy Group hold a free-will offering during the performance.

“We need to replace the stage curtains,” Legacy member Reuben Schleifer told me the other day. “Two years ago we had a patron approach us about what it would cost to replace them, and since then, we’ve been accepting donations and holding fund-raisers in order to do that.”

The curtains are in pretty bad shape, especially the back drop set, a fact I noticed as I was going over the photos I had taken during the USO production. They’ll cost a whopping $16,000 to replace.

According to a little history nugget printed on the USO Tribute Show program, the auditorium was completed in 1939 at a cost of $24,000; less than twice the cost of new curtains today. Half was paid by the government and half by the City of Chester through a bond drive. The project was part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal programs, the Works Progress Administration. Locals built the structure by hand in over 16,000 man hours at approximately 75 cents per hour for the labor.

Both sets of curtains, the back-drop and front stage, were installed in 1939, but the front stage curtains were replaced with used curtains approximately 25 years ago. In other words, the stained, moth-eaten, back-drop curtains are 72 years old.

Reuben said the Legacy Group has now raised $12,000 after the recent collection during the USO show. He said those who attended the show donated $1,212 between the Friday night and Sunday afternoon performances and wanted to pass that information on to those who donated.

Belvidere By LaDonna Avers

Tim, Karen and Isaac Else hosted a birthday celebration for Barb Carson, Andy Else and Addie Marsh on Wednesday evening at their home. Game day guests of Bob and Jodi Else enjoyed a Nebraska win and then gathered at a local restaurant for the evening.

The descendants of Milton J. and Mary C. Widler held their annual Thanksgiving reunion at the community hall in Belvidere. Travelers arrived from Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arizona and Colo-rado plus Nebraska residents from Omaha, Plattsmouth, Seward, Geneva, Lincoln, Hebron, Carleton, Belvidere and Bruning. Three entrants in the turkey roasting challenge had to be content with a dead-heat decision since it was too close to call. The past genera-tion recipe for baked ham being carried on by a great cook from Plattsmouth is always the grand prize winner. The great array of sweet and savory dishes of all sorts should ensure that future generations will gather and be well fed. Mother Nature cooperated to make it possible for all to come and go safely and we are thankful.

Thanksgiving is over and the rush to Christmas is well under way. There are a number of schools and organizations planning programs, parties and dinners. One of them is the Thayer County Historical Society’s Christmas party Wednesday night, Nov. 30, at 6:30 p.m., in the cafe in Belvidere. Members decided at the last meeting to have a white elephant gift exchange after the meal so remember to bring a gift.

Logan and Paula McGinness attended the McGinness Thanksgiving family reunion in Crab Orchard again this year. There were 38 members attending but the matriarch of the family, Doris Furman, was sadly missed. On Sunday Lo-gan and Paula celebrated the holiday with Gale and Audrey Rickers and family.

Linda Hudson drove to Lincoln Thursday to celebrate Thanksgiving with Angie and Ben Barrett, Sarah and Andrew. While there she also got an early start on Black Friday.

Guests of Norm and Ila Cur-rey from Wednesday through Saturday were their friends Phil, Joyce and Samantha Jueckstock of Edwardsville, Ill. Thursday afternoon was spent looking through old pictures of previous visits covering the past 20 plus years and observing a few changes in appearances. Friday morn-ing was spent checking out several stores in Hebron then the afternoon was spent tour-ing the Thayer County Mu-seum complex in Belvidere. The Jueckstocks were quite impressed with the variety of displays in the museum build-ings and thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

R a n d y a n d D i a n n e Waldmeier of Belvidere host-ed a Thanksgiving dinner at their home on Saturday, Nov. 26. Those present were Josh, Jenny, Treyton, Tara and Tyson Waldmeier of Belvidere, Den-nis and Nancy Vorderstrasse of Hastings, Brent and Lauren Vorderstrassee and Angie Mucklow of Hastings, Doug and Sharon Sellenrick of Plym-outh, Kristin Vorderstrasse of Kearney, and Jon, Anne Marie and Harrison Sellenrick of Hutchinson, Minn.

Jennifer Priefert, Omaha, spent Thanksgiving day with her parents, Russ and Bon-nie Priefert and her brother Tom Priefert. On Friday Russ and Bonnie attended the Ne-braska/Iowa football game in Lincoln.

Thanksgiving dinner guests at Ruth Yoachim’s home were Gaylene and Tim Cal-lahan and their sons, Ryan and Connor, all from Syracuse. Joining them were Kevin and Thomas Yoachim and Joshua Yoachim.

The descendants of John and Virginia Culp met once again for their annual Thanks-giving reunion at the Belvidere Community Center. There was a large group present to enjoy the day.

LaDonna Avers and her grandson, Nic Dunsmoor, drove to Hampton on Thurs-day where they had dinner at the home of Jeff and Ardys Dunsmoor. Other guests were Annie Dunsmoor and Nick Korth both from Lincoln and Nathan, Elycia and Nathaniel Avers from Stromsburg.

Sunday the congregation of the Belvidere Congregational United Church of Christ deco-rated the windows and church with greenery, a lighted tree and other seasonal decora-tions. Following that every-one enjoyed a delicious soup luncheon. Besides the soup made by MaryBeth Nicholson there were sandwiches, cook-ies etc., provided by others in the group. A time of fellowship was enjoyed by all.

The local, state and national news has been filled with reports and outrage in regard to recent child sexual abuse al-legations and those adults who failed to report the incidents. If these incidents had been reported to the appropriate authorities, it may have spared many others from the abuse.

It is hard to listen to the circumstances surrounding these cases and not be fi lled with disbelief that something like this could be kept a secret for so many years.

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated story. Child abuse thrives on secrecy. Too often adults, for whatever reason, choose to look the other way and believe it is someone else’s job or responsibility to report it. Secrecy allows the abuse to continue and ends up causing a lot of pain for so many lives.

In the state of Nebraska, every adult is considered a mandatory reporter; the law is clear that if an individual has reasonable cause to suspect child abuse and neglect, they are required to notify law en-forcement such as the police, sheriff’s offi ce or state patrol, Health and Human Services or to the Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-652-1999. All reports made to authorities are kept confi dential.

Law enforcement and DHHS coordinate their re-sponse to reports of child abuse and neglect.

• Law enforcement has the responsibility to investigate to determine if a crime has been committed. Only law enforce-ment or the courts can remove a child from his or her home.

• DHHS is responsible for the statewide reporting hotline and subsequent investigations to assess whether the child is safe.

In 2010 in Nebraska, 3,396 cases of child abuse or neglect were substantiated, involving 5,169 children. “Child abuse is a community problem, and all of us have the ability to address it,” said Scot Adams, interim director for the Divi-sion of Children and Family Services in DHHS. “Everyone has a responsibility to pay at-tention to the children around us and to report child abuse or neglect.”

For years, prevention has been geared toward children, teaching them about safe and unsafe touches. Although this is important, there is also the need for adult responsibility when it comes to protecting children. As adults we are the eyes, ears and voice that must speak up when we suspect something is wrong or when a child confi des in us. We have a moral and legal responsibil-ity to report what we know and let the authorities get to the truth.

Remember, it is not our job to investigate the abuse, but we are required by law to report it to the proper authorities. Hopefully these resent stories can serve as an opportunity to educate all of us. Although we don’t like to think so, there are offenders and victims in every community. The fi rst step to stopping abuse begins when we make a conscious decision to not turn away or second guess what our instincts are telling us. Protecting our children should be our fi rst priority.

Are you an employer need-ing to hire an employee? The Nebraska Department of La-bor currently has a National Emergency Grant available to assist employers in training new employees through an On The Job Training Program.

The purpose of the grant is for employers to hire workers who were previously laid off and who have been looking for work for an extended period of time.

To compensate the employ-ers for the additional time and training they provide new hires, the OJT program reim-burses employer up to 90 per-cent of the employee’s wage during the training period. For example, if a company hires someone at the rate of $12 per hour, the OJT program reimburses the employer for $10.80 per hour.

The reimbursement rate is based on the size of the com-pany and ranges from 50-90 percent. The smaller the busi-ness, the larger the percentage of reimbursement. This incen-tive is meant to allow smaller businesses to grow through a slowed economy.

The OJT program does have guidelines and expectations that our staff will review with each employer and job candi-date. If you are an employer who is looking for the right talent in a employee or a job seeker who was laid off from your last job for nearly 15 weeks, please give us a call at 402-223-6060.

St. John’s To Celebrate Centennial

St. John’s Lutheran Church, Chester, will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the dedication of its house of worship on Sunday, Dec. 18. This beautiful building was dedicated on the anniversary of Martin Luther’s birth, Nov. 12, 1911.

There will be a service of worship at 10:30 a.m., with Pastor Larry Steckling, pastor at St. John from 1982-1985, being the preacher. A catered dinner will follow this ser-vice.

Gary Thies, mission de-velopment counselor for the Nebraska and Iowa West Districts, will speak in an afternoon worship service beginning at 1:30 p.m. The public is invited.

Movie Showing At St. Johnʼs, Chester

A new movie, produced by Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Mo., titled, “Walther” will be shown in the St. John Lutheran Parish Hall in Ches-ter on the evenings of Nov. 30 and Dec. 7 beginning at 7 p.m.

This movie depicts the struggles faced by Lutherans in Saxony, Germany, in the early 1800’s which led to about 750 people boarding fi ve boats headed for America in late 1838 as well as the troubles they faced in the Missouri wilderness.

The occupants of four of these boats landed in New Orleans, La., in late December and made their way up to St. Louis, Mo. One of the ships and its occupants was lost at sea.

This movie was made in honor of the 200th anniver-sary of the birth of Dr. C.F.W. Walther, one of the pastors who came over from Germany who is generally looked upon as the founder of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. The public is invited to this two-part showing. Cookies will be served.

Home & Community ConnectionsPhyllis Schoenholz, Extension Educator

UN-L Cooperative Extension in Southern Plains Unit

It’s the time of the year when we enjoy holiday food. Most American adults eat more calories than they need – especially this time of the year. Many times we eat foods and do not get the recom-mended amounts of essential nutrients.

Recommended daily allow-ances recommend the amount of nutrients that should be con-sumed by an adult each day. On food packages, percent daily values tell what percent-age of the total recommended daily allowance is present in products.

Percent daily values are usu-ally based on a 2,000 calories a day diet, but the recommended calorie intake depends on gen-der, height, weight and level of physical activity.

Where these calories come from is very important. Forty-fi ve to 65 percent should be from carbohydrates, 20 to 35 percent from fats and 10 to 35 percent from proteins.

Avoid consuming products high in trans fats, cholesterol, added sugars, salt and alcohol. Processed foods like bak-ery products, margarine and french fries provide almost 80 percent of the trans fats in Americans’ diets. These foods are high in calories but offer little nutritional value and even lead to other health problems. High intakes of saturated fats, trans fats and cholesterol increase the risk of coronary heart disease.

Fat intakes less than 20 percent of calories increase the risk of not getting enough vitamin E and essential fatty acids and having undesirable blood lipids. Soybean oil, canola oil and fl ax seeds are healthy sources of fatty acids.

Consumption of omega-3 fatty acids in fi sh and shellfi sh also helps reduce the risk of heart disease.

Special attention should also be made to consume foods with calcium, potassium, mag-nesium, carotenoids, vitamin C and Vitamin E. These essen-tial nutrients are often lacking in adult diets.

Water also is crucial to a healthy lifestyle. Men should drink 3.2 quarts of water a day and women should drink 2.3 quarts.

Fiber also is important for cleansing the digestive sys-tem, but most Americans don’t consume the recommended daily allowance. Men should consume 38 grams and women 25 grams.

Along with eating healthy, exercise helps reduce blood cholesterol, prevent weight gain and maintain a healthy lifestyle by burning off ex-cess calories. Adults should perform 30 to 60 minutes of moderate activity almost daily. Moderate activity re-quires about as much energy as walking two miles in 30 minutes.

It is also important to perform strength-building exercises two to three days a week. In order to lose weight, adults should perform 60 to 90 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise a day. People with a disease, over age 40 or more than 20 percent overweight should consult a physician before beginning an exercise program.
