The Perkins County Chamber of Commerce will be sponsor-ing a ‘Pink Out’ day on Thursday, Oct. 16. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the cham-ber is urging all Perkins County citizens to wear pink in sup-port of breast cancer awareness and research. The monthly chamber meeting on Oct. 16, held at noon at the Perkins County Senior Center, will feature a talk from Jody Snogren and Adrienne Turner of Perkins County Health Services who will be giving a presentation on breast cancer awareness. The public is invited to attend to hear Snogren and Turner speak. “We hope everyone wears a pink ribbon, shirt or anything that shows support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is such an important topic to be aware of and the chamber is behind furthering the cause of education in our community on these topics,” Andi Lee, Perkins County Chamber of Com-merce President, said.

In a strange twist of fate, Laurie Fagullar has followed Mary Bieber around the region. Bieber was postmaster in Keystone before heading to Brule. Fagullar took her place in Keystone, and when Bieber went from Brule to Grant, Fagullar took her place in Brule. Now that Bieber is retiring from Grant, Fagul-lar will assume her duties as postmaster. Fagullar took over duties as Postmaster in Grant Oct. 1 and a special goodbye party was held Oct. 3 at the post of-fice for Bieber, who is retiring. No stranger to Grant or the people in the community, Fagullar worked as a clerk in Grant from 2000 to 2004. She was driving two-and-a-half hours a day from her home in Ogallala to Sidney until July of this year, when the transi-tion to Grant started. “I am familiar with the town (Grant) and recognize

many of the faces and there are a lot of new ones,” Fagul-lar said. Thus far things have been going smooth for Fagullar, however, she said it has been hectic but she’s getting into a routine now. “The amount of volume this office handles, I am not sure anyone realizes that,” Fagullar, a 17-year veteran of the post office said, noting that there are three additional offices under her watch, Elsie, Madrid and Venango. “It is pretty busy all around.” Fagullar and husband, Marc, have three children and five grandchildren. Hobbies for Fagullar in-clude tennis, canoeing, camp-ing, working out and ‘visiting grandchildren,’ including three in Texas and two in Omaha. Fagullar said she welcomes people coming in to meet her as it will help acclimate her to the community. After 27 years with the post office, Bieber is retiring to

spend more time with her grandchildren in Omaha. “I have a grandson in high school now and I want to be free to see his sports and activities,” Bieber said.Bieber, a Big Springs resident, was post master in Grant since 2008. “Working with the people will be what I will miss most,” Bieber said. “The community has been really good to me. Everyone has been really good to work with.” There will be some minor changes coming to the post office soon. New parcel lockers will be installed in the lobby to help people who cannot get to the post office during regular business hours. In the next month tile in the building will be replaced, so scheduling will be posted at the post office. “It will be a great improve-ment once it is all done,” Fagullar said, noting plans are still in the works for the tile project.

Accidents serve as seasonal safety reminderby Tim linscoTTmanaging editOr

Two accidents at intersec-tions on county roads in the last two weeks have resulted in injuries to area residents and serve as a reminder to Perkins County Sheriff Jim Brueggeman how important it is to be aware while driving this time of year. On Sept. 25, the Perkins County Sheriff ’s Office, Elsie Volunteer Fire Department, Grant Volunteer Fire Depart-ment, Madrid Volunteer Fire Department and Perkins County Ambulance service were called to the scene of a two-vehicle accident with injuries. The accident occurred at the intersection of Road 344 and Road 757, located south-west of Elsie. A silver 1984 Chevrolet Blazer driven by 54-year-old Kevin Kugler of Elsie was driving southbound on Road 344 when it collided with a green 2008 Ford F250 pick up driven westbound on Road 757 by Douglas Curtis, 53, also of Elsie. The Blazer was estimated to be a total loss while the F250 was estimated to have $20,000 in damages. Both vehicles were towed away from the scene due to damages. Kugler and Curtis were

both transported to Perkins County Health Services in Grant by Perkins County Ambulance. Kugler received disabling face injuries and was later life-flighted by Air Link to Regional West Medical Center in Scottsbluff, according to a report from the Perkins County Sheriff ’s Office. Curtis had visible, but not disabling, hip and upper leg injuries and was released from Perkins County Health Services later the same day. “There were both natural and human factors leading to the cause of the accident, including foggy conditions, driving too fast for weather conditions and a disregard for traffic signage at the intersec-tion,” Sheriff Brueggeman said. “We are extremely for-tunate this was not a fatality accident investigation given the circumstances.” Brueggeman reminds drivers that this is the time of year to be extra cautious while driving, especially in rural areas. “As we draw nearer to the harvest season and begin to see a change in fall weather patterns, everyone needs to slow down and pay extra attention as they approach intersecting roadways,” Brue-ggeman said. The accident resulted in a

citation issued to Curtis for failure to yield. On Wednesday, Oct. 1 at ap-proximately 9:38 a.m. another injury accident happened near Grainton. The accident occurred at the intersection of Roads 352 and 759, one mile east and half a mile north of Grain-

ton. A white 2001 Chevrolet Ta-hoe driven by Joey Isenbart, 27, of Wallace, was westbound on Road 759 when the vehicle ran a stop sign and entered the intersection of Road 352. A maroon 1999 Chrysler LHS sedan driven by Jacob Melton, 16, also of Wallace,

was northbound on Road 352 when it struck the Tahoe broadside in the intersection. Both vehicles went into the ditch on the northwest corner of the intersection. The Tahoe rolled one time before coming

Towing the line has been a precedent for the Perkins County Commissioners and they are once again doing just that with the 2014-2015 budget. The tax request for the year is up slightly, $73,126.30, which includes a three percent county employee raise. That three percent raise equates to much more than $73,000, however, the switch-ing of insurance coverage by the county in January has resulted in over $90,000 being saved annually by the county, wearing the budget increase down to $73,000. A payback of the Trailblaz-er pipeline of $25,000 is also included in the $73,000 budget raise. Because of an increase in valuation, the tax levy of 35 cents per every $100 of valuation is now down to 27.95 cents. “We lowered the levy sub-

stantially,” Perkins County Assessor and budget preparer Bonnie Appel, said. A main focus of the budget for the year will be the paving of the Elsie, Paxton road. To pay for the project, a 20-year schedule has been drawn up by the county commissioners with funds set aside for the project. “This will be paid back by money that has always been budgeted in the paving fund,” said Appel, noting $300,000 has been set aside a year for the project with more this year to make a double pay-ment. The road project has a $2 million price tag. New windows for the court-house has been in the works for nearly two years. The proj-ect is slated to have a price tag of $247,382.85 and is slated to begin this month. “Even with putting in new windows, they (the commis-

After purchasing the Plainsman Inn, Jason and Ashleigh Noyes jumped right into making additions and improvements to the property with many more planned for the future.

A long term goal of the couple was to cater to every-one, locals and otherwise.

New to downtown Grant was Poppe’s Posies, a flower shop and gift store under the own-ership of Michele Poppe.

Poppe and longtime friends and co-workers, Alicia Patrick and Robbin Cornelius, had over 33 years of experience in floral design. They worked together at Grant Floral before deciding to own a separate shop at 150 Central.

Ryan and Taren Hendricks purchased the Plainsman Inn RV Park and Storage from Warren and Cindy Chris-tophersen.

A juggling act took place at the Perkins County Court-house with three of the offices switching floors to be more ac-comodating to both the public and each other.

The county attorney office was moved from the first floor to the second floor, and the vet-

eran’s office was moved from the third floor to the first floor after renovation. The county court office relocated from the first floor to the third floor.

Hope that a theatre be built in Grant was revived when work on renovation of the building purchased for that purpose began.

Many delays were encoun-tered in the planning of a building to replace the Grant Theatre which burned Dec. 26, 1962. The delays were frustrat-ing and disappointing, but the probability of completing the project was finally assured.

He moved to Black Hawk, Colo. in 1971 and later served on their city council. He attended classes at the Communtiy Council of Denver and became a certified waste water operator in 1976. He operated the waste and wa-ter plant for Black Hawk and Central City, Colo. for several years and later was the owner/manager of Crooks Palace in

obItuaryBlack Hawk, the oldest sa-loon in Colorado. Terry later moved to Boise, Idaho where he was involved in a wind-shield repair business called Star Technologies.

Terry had been failing in health and died at the Ukiah Valley Hospital in Ukiah, Ca-lif. on Sept. 24, 2014. He had reached the age of 66.

Terry was an avid sports fan, especially following his beloved Nebraska Cornhusk-ers and Perkins County High School Plainsmen.

Terry is survived by his parents, Wayne and Barbara Aten of Goodland, Kan.; his three brothers: Steve and his wife Karen of Tulsa, Okla., Gregg and his wife Denice of Lincoln, Neb. and Shane and his special friend Dana of Ukiah; nine nephews and nieces, many other family members and friends.

DHHS/Nebraska Medical Center to care for second Ebola patientAt the request of the U.S.

State Department, the Nebras-ka Department of Health and Human Services along with the Nebraska Medical Center agreed to open the Nebraska Biocontainment Patient Care Unit to provide treatment to a second person with Ebola.

The man contracted the virus while working in West Africa.

Dr. Joseph Acierno, Chief Medical Officer and Director of Public Health for the Ne-braska Department of Health and Human Services offers this statement:

“The Nebraska Biocontain-ment Unit was built with the purpose of providing special-

ized care to people with po-tentially deadly and infectious diseases.

“We have the expertise and training and we have a second person who needs our help. Once again, DHHS and the Nebraska Medical Center will open the Biocontainment Unit.

“We believe we can safely open our doors and provide the best possible care while protecting the public.

“We understand if some people have concerns. I want Nebraskans to know that we have highly-trained profes-sionals ready to provide quality medical care in a safe, self-contained environment. This situation is of minimal risk to the Omaha area and the rest of Nebraska.”

Celebrating Halloween just wouldn’t be complete without a visit to a haunted house for some chills and thrills. This year, teens, families, and adults are invited to brave the corridors of not one, but three haunted attractions located in Brule Oct. 23-26. The event, which includes food, a hay rack ride, and other activities was designed to appeal to all ages without skimping on the fear factor of the haunted attractions. According to Jennifer

Haunted attraction scheduled for late OctoberShipp, one of the creators of District 13, “Young kids and parents can ride the hay rack ride, get some food, and then take a ride on the train to see the houses in Brule that have been decorated for Halloween while older kids go through the haunts.” The haunted attractions are appropriate for ages 10 and up but scare actors are trained to approach groups of teens and adults differently than young people. Patrons will park on the

southwest side of town and then take the hay rack ride to the three different haunted attractions in Brule including Dr. Doom’s Science Room, Mr. Wiggle’s Wood Shop, and the Prom Night Massacre. Two of the haunts are located in the old Brule school and the third is at the community hall. Visit www.schooldistrict13.com for more information or contact John or Jennifer Shipp at info@schooldis-trict13.com or 308-289-3099 for more information.

Native Americans, rock legends and the pipeline

Help me get my head around something here friends. There are nearly 21,000 miles of hazardous liquid and natural gas pipelines

in Nebraska already. So what makes the battle over the latest one proposed – the Keystone XL – so special? Just asking.

Nearly 8,000 people gathered on an Antelope County farm on a beautiful fall Saturday afternoon to listen to mu-sic legends Willie Nelson and Neil Young perform. The crowds gathered in protest of the pipeline and in support of alterna-tive energy proposals. They also saw members of several Native Ameri-can tribes honor the musicians who have been familiar performers at the scattered series of Farm Aid concerts over the years.

The Nebraska Pipeline Association says the prairie is criss-crossed by interstate, intrastate, and distribution lines. Those pipelines may include large-diameter lines carrying energy products to popula-tion centers, as well as small-diameter lines that may deliver natural gas to busi-nesses and households in your neighbor-hood, the Association says. The industry association calls pipelines the safest method for transporting energy products, but admits that when pipeline incidents occur they can present significant risks to the public and the environment.

The Nelson-Young concert and a number of protest-related activities have been sponsored by a group called Bold Nebraska.

That group’s activist leader Jane Kleeb says a report by University of Nebraska civil engineering professor John Stans-bury predicts that there could be as many as 91 leaks in the anticipated 50-year lifespan of the Keystone XL pipeline if it is built.

Stansbury apparently researched pipe-lines’ history and TransCanada regula-tory filings to predict that the leaks could potentially put 6.5 million gallons of tar sands oil in the Ogallala aquifer and es-

sentially contaminate drinking water.In May, TransCanada – the company

that wants to build the Keystone XL Pipeline – submitted a revised route to the State Department, bypassing an original Sandhills route but still passing over parts of the massive aquifer.

That action followed President Obama’s rejection of the original route some months earlier.

Protestors have planted crops and built a barn and Native Americans have plant-ed sacred grasses in the proposed path.

The outdoor concert occurred on land near Neligh that also lies in the proposed path. While the Harvest of Hope Concert was going on, looking not-unlike a min-iature Woodstock or another version of Farm Aid, thousands of other people were driving trucks with trailers and SUV’s and station wagons along the multi-stop Junk Jaunt route from Arcadia to Wood River and a number of points in between.

I was driving in the Sandhills as well, enjoying the beauty of the crops and the trees and the sky filled with puffy

white clouds on a day that was perfectly perched on the edge of fall.

Occasionally I would see an orange and white pipe with a warning sign poking up several feet out of the ground, often at the edge of a pasture or near the rustling stalks of brown and nearly ready for har-vest corn or soybeans.

Over the years, I have come to recog-nize these as the indicator that pipelines are buried below.

Knowing this and seeing the passion of the folks who are protesting the Keystone XL, I have pause to wonder if we need another pipeline … another threat to the peace and tranquility of the environment and the lifestyle we have come to appreci-ate in one of those mostly square states out west.

But I also have to ask if there is a politi-cal agenda or a social undertow that I do not recognize.

It has been six long years since this pipeline was proposed.

Hopefully we can see the matter re-solved sometime soon.

letter to tHe editor

Dear Editor: We are all receiving e-mails, Facebook, Twitter, fliers, TV, radio and newspaper ads asking for donations because the opponent is running attack ads. Then when one looks at the ads the candidate is running, they are attacking the opponent. Most are personal attack ads that have very little to do with the issues that affect our way of life. The objective is to get the voter to vote against someone rather than for someone. Each of us grew up in different environments and has differ-ent life experiences. From those experiences we develop phi-losophies that shape our views on how governing bodies should function. Some just want to be left alone with no interference from governing entities. Others feel that society needs to have more oversight to make sure everyone is treated more evenly. Since we all have different philosophies it becomes very im-portant that the voter carefully examine what each candidate’s beliefs are and how they represent one’s personal views. Therefore; each voter has the responsibility to evaluate each candidate and then vote for the one that represents their own

Please vote, and vote earlyphilosophy and to determine if the candidate is qualified to hold the office they are running for. Internet is an excellent tool for researching candidates, espe-cially those that are running for federal or state offices. Wiki-pedia is an excellent source that in most cases provides enough information to make a rational decision as to which candidates represent your philosophy and qualifications. Remember, Wikipedia can be edited so one will have to make a judgment call on the information accuracy. Forums, debates and conference calls with candidates can also be helpful, espe-cially if you have specific questions that need further clarifica-tion. Once you as a voter make a decision, don’t be afraid to vote. Unfortunately, only 15-20 percent of the voters nationally take time to vote. Remember, if you don’t vote you automatically voted for the winner, whoever that is. Please vote, and vote early so when you see or hear attack ads they can be ignored, because you have already voted.

every day, no matter what else is happening, sometime after our evening meal, I have a job to do. Every night it is my job to empty the clean dishes from the dishwasher and fill it up with dirty ones. It isn’t a particularly demanding

job, although it does take one skill that most of the people in my house don’t have – the ability to reach the higher shelves where some of those dishes go. In the story of Joshua, we find that he had a particular job to do as well. His job was to lead the people of Israel into the Promised Land, and drive out the people who were already living there. We know that Joshua trained under Moses for over 40 years to learn his leadership role. But Joshua also had a set of skills that made him well equipped for the job he was given to do. Joshua demonstrates an aptitude for military leadership very early in his career. In Exodus 17 the Israelites are attacked by the Amalekites, and while Moses remains the leader of the people, it is Joshua who is sent to lead the battle – he is the field general. Joshua’s victory suggests he is the right man with the right skills to lead the military inva-

sion of the Promised Land. He’s the right man for the job. Sometimes when we need a job done, it’s easy to know who the right person is for the job. If the pipes are leaking water, we need a plumber; if the car is leaking oil, a mechanic is the right person. Sometimes deciding who the right person is to lead a church can be a lot harder. A newly started church needs a different kind of leader than one that has been around for 100 years. A large church needs a different kind of leader than a small one. Finding that right fit for a church can be a hard task in itself. Of course, it isn’t just plumbers, mechanics, generals, and pastors who have a job to do. We all have a task that we have been given, and like Joshua we have been given the skills we need to do that task. If you are a child of God – a believer in Je-sus Christ – you have a place in His church, with some task He would like you to do. And He has given you abilities, spiritual gifts, and fellow believers to help you in whatever task. You just might be the right man for the job. So what task does God have for you? You won’t be leading a conquest of the Promised Land like Joshua, but whatever it is, God is asking you to do that job. Will you go and do what God has asked and equipped you to do?

We all have a job to do

within the Nebraska Press Association is an internal industry newsletter called,

‘The Green Sheet.’The reason for this is the

newsletter used to be mailed out each week to NPA members

on green paper. Today an electronic version is sent out that is no longer green, howev-er, the name still sticks.

Inside there is informa-tion pertinent to the field, including tax tips for small business owners, new

postal regulations that will be coming up and columns from around the U.S. dealing with the profession.

Journalism, like teaching, is a job done for love, not money. When you add up the hours an average journalist works and the pay scale, I estimate the average person in this industry makes about $4 an hour.

The job doesn’t leave you at 5 p.m. You carry it with you for days, no, years. No, make that decades.

My mentor, Fred Arnold, Jr., said his job was on the ceiling every single night.

I didn’t really know what he was talking about until I bought my first newspapers. Every single night I’d stare at the ceiling, thinking about what needed to be done the next day or how I was going to handle a specific financial situation.

The news dictates your life in this profession. I remember being on a date with my wife early in our relationship and a fire truck whizzed past the restaurant where we were eat-ing. I left her some money and grabbed a camera.

That story reminds me of the things that people in this industry have to deal with on a

daily basis.A young lady that held many

state records in track and field from Wilber had a rough time for a while after a car accident, a story which I covered.

Later she married and had a baby.

I remember typing the birth announcement and thinking about how good her life had become with the new job, mar-riage and baby.

A few weeks later I pulled a FAX out of the machine with her death notice. Accidental death from prescription drugs and alcohol.

The people around you are friends, family, neighbors and you interact with them a lot through various events.

There are also moments from photographing a young man’s lone high school career victory in wrestling and seeing the joy on his face, to covering a major industry coming to town.

In this industry we see people born, die, succeed, fail. We are privy to all of this and post these reflections the best way we can each week.

Yes, the job averages 50-60 hours a week. Yes, the indus-try is not known for glamour or high paychecks, but yes, it is an industry that we all love.

This week is National News-paper Week. I am reminded during this week of the long hours, stress and dilemmas that come with the job.

I am also reminded of the successes, being able to highlight the lives of people and shining a spotlight on a community.

Horace Greeley once noted, ‘Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you’re at it.’

Hearing the son of legend-ary writer Tom Allan, Tam, speak at a press convention once, he noted that his father had two great dance partners in his life, his wife and jour-nalism.

I am grateful for the chance to live and dance every day in this job.

this past weekend a friend treated me to a great couple of days with tickets to the

Women of Faith conference in Lincoln.

We enjoyed great speakers, amazing singers, and time to reconnect with God. Confer-ences such as these are always

so uplifting and a breath of truly fresh air for the soul.

song “Momisms” which had trended on social media a while ago.

She was quite hysterical. Not only does she do stand-up but she writes parodies of pop-ular songs as well as original songs. One of those songs was titled, “Those Ain’t Pants.”

Now, we all know the cur-rent fad in wearing leggings as pants. Some people can pull it off, others, not so much.

As we exited Pinnacle Bank Arena with thousands of other women, I couldn’t help but notice just how many of them were not wearing pants.

I personally have a few pairs of “not pants” of my own, but I have certain rules about what shirts/dresses I wear with them. Clearly, others do not.

Sliding to a slightly different topic, skinny jeans. Wowza. “Jeans” is a catch-all term, as

they can pretty much be made of anything, including leather and lycra to name a couple.

I can very honestly say I am pretty sure getting into and out of said pants is not a one person job for many folk, and I wonder how many times they’ve peed their pants sim-ply because said pants were cemented to their thighs.

In all reality, skinny jeans are just glorified leggings with a zipper and pockets. And let us not forget jeggings, the leggings made from jeanish material.

Some schools have actually banned leggings and yoga pants, deeming them distract-ing to male students. I’m sure this ban will refocus the atten-tion of teenage males to their schoolwork. No doubts there.

As for this new “tuck in your shirt and wear your

jeans up to your shoulders” fad? Give your mom’s high school jeans back, girls. That look just isn’t flattering on anybody.

But I suppose, to each her own. I will wear what I wanna wear and so will you.

I do think it’s unfortunate how society has placed such judgemental standards on us. I’ll admit I have looked at someone (probably in Wal-Mart) and thought, “they should NOT be wearing that,” and don’t lie, you have too. But such is life. If all we had to worry about in this world were the kind of pants or not pants we were wearing, it would be a pretty ideal place.

But sitting here in my not pants, I thank God for it anyway.

Pants fads never fade, they just stretch out over time

A native of Nebraska, Ron and his wife Diane live and teach in Chappell.

Ron earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1971, and spent over 20 years in the upholstery business.

He began teaching art in 1992 and has focused on fine art painting, entering compe-titions and shows throughout the region since 2000.

His paintings reflect the value of hard work and fine craft, the freedom and energy of youth, the power of faith, and strength of character that comes from age.

He incorporates metaphors, similarities and connections into his work by juxtaposing objects and ideas. A common theme is the use of quilt im-ages in landscapes.

Working to put together a complete game where the offense and defense worked in sync with each other, Perkins County High School head football coach Carlie Wells was able to do just that Friday night in Chappell.

The Plainsmen picked up the first victory of the eight-man era with a 66-16 disman-tling of the Creek Valley Storm.

“Our offensive unit would get the game ball. We ex-ecuted better than they did up front on the offensive line,” Wells said. “But, overall, it was a team effort.”

There is still some work to do as a team, according to Wells.

“Offensively we are doing a better job blocking and executing our assignments. We still have to recognize changes teams are throwing at us,” Wells said. “We need to tackle better and do a better job defensively as a team.”

On offense, seven different PCS runners picked up posi-

and Dylan Malmkar picked up four solo and three as-sisted stops. Patrick had three solo and two assisted tackles with Cook having two solo and three assisted stops.

The Plainsmen had 16 dif-ferent athletes with tackles in the game.

This Friday the Plainsmen face Sutherland at home with a 6:30 p.m. kickoff.

Plainsmen get first win of the seasontive yards on the ground, with three Plainsmen picking up 80 yards or better in the contest.

Mitchell Sestak had 128 yards rushing with two touch-downs in the game, showing his big play capability. Sestak had four total carries in the game, averaging 32 yards a carry.

Josh Johnston had 123 yards rushing on 11 carries. Johnston averaged 11.2 yards a carry against the Storm. Derek Sis racked up 99 yards with one touchdown while Charlie Johnson showed his versatility with 81 yards rush-ing and was 2 of 3 passing for two touchdowns and zero interceptions.

Johnston was the top receiver with both catches for all 37 yards and both TD’s from Johnson.

Tyson Patrick had 48 yards and one TD in the game while Kiffen Cook had 12 yards in the game. Michael Beck marked nine yards against the Storm.

The Plainsmen had 500 yards team rushing in the contest.

Leading the defense for the

Plainsmen was Johnston, piling up eight solo and six assisted stops. Tim McClung had eight solo and five as-sisted stops with one fumble recovery.

Sean Sando had seven solo and one assisted tackle while Johnson had six solo and one assisted tackle in the game.

The Wallace Wildcats com-peted in the Wallace Triangu-lar on Tuesday, Sept. 30.

The Cats’ first opponent was the Brady Eagles.

The Lady Wildcats started out a bit timid in the first set, and struggled a bit more in the second. A determined Eagles team wanted revenge after an earlier season loss to the Lady Cats. They battled to win the match in two, 17-25, 15-25.

Leading the team offen-sively against the Eagles was sophomore Maggie May (two aces) and senior Mickayla Sheets (one ace) each with five points. Sophomore Myah McConnell had three points, and senior Hayley Storm had one point.

Leading the team with set assists was May with 11.

Defensively, senior Chris-tina Daniels had five kills and one block. Junior Abbey Rohde had three kills, Storm had two kills and one block, and sophomore Madisen Messersmith had one kill.

Lady Cats split in home triangularMaywood

The Lady Cats then had to face the Maywood Tigers. The Wildcats won this match in two sets 25-19, 25-12.

Let down a bit by the loss to Brady, the Lady Cats came out of the locker room a bit flat. The Tigers took advantage of the deflated Wildcat team, and scored some points early, but the Wildcats rallied back and won the first set 25-19.

In striking contrast to the first set, the Cats were ready for the Tigers, taking the early lead in the second, and refusing to relinquish it. The Tigers made every effort to fight back, but the Cats domi-nated the second set 25-12.

Leading the team offen-sively against Maywood was Madisen Messersmith with 10 (one ace), followed closely by McConnell (seven aces) with nine. May had four points (two aces), Storm and Rohde each had two points (one ace), and senior Alissa Rosentrater and Sheets each had one point. Leading the team with set assists was May with 11, followed by McConnell with four, senior Emma Franklin

with three and Sheets with one.

Defensively, Rohde led the team with nine kills and one block. Storm had five kills, Sheets and Madisen Messer-smith each had two kills, and McConnell, May and fresh-

man Hannah Nelson each had one kill.

On Friday, Oct. 10 the Lady Cats will host the Broncos from Mullen for Homecom-ing, with C team starting at 3 p.m.

DiD you know?• Sports nicknames: Thomas “Pepper” Johnson- This New York Giants football player received his nickname from his grand-

mother. He loved pepper so much, he put it on everything he ate.

this past week I spent at home, not doing much just trying to get rid of some infection that

made it difficult to really enjoy the time. I was however wanting to get to feeling better for the weekend because there were a number of college foot-

ball games, an opportu-nity for the Plainsmen to hit the W column, and the Husker volleyball was going to be on TV twice.

Friday evening was a pretty good start even though at first I

didn’t think it was going to be too good. It did start well for the Plainsmen football team and I listened to the game on the radio and their win over Creek Valley in a pretty convincing manner and watched the Husker volleyball team start about as bad as you could in a big game and lose 25-12.

The Plainsmen schedule early in the season was tough. I think I am correct in saying that the combined record go-ing into Friday night’s game of the four teams that had de-feated the Plainsman was 16-0. Being as young as the Plains-men are and playing that tough of a schedule early is al-ways going to be difficult. You always want to finish strong and now the Plainsmen have picked up experience against very good teams—now a win that will hopefully help them pick up wins in the rest of the regular season.

Even though Friday went well, Saturday was another story. First of all the Husker volleyball team came out just a little flat, I thought which was normal after getting a win over a team like Penn State and even though I thought they would eventual-ly win vs. OSU. They just kept letting the Buckeye women stay close and even with three match points to their favor lost 3-2. That certainly takes

Pitching with Pritch

Larry Pritchett

NU controls own destinythe luster off a big win. But they will regroup and hit it hard in the next game.

All day Saturday there were games that you just could not believe were going completely against the book. Kentucky, who hasn’t been real strong in many years, beat the Ole Ball Coach Steve Spurrier. Alabama goes down, Texas A&M goes down, Oklahoma goes down, and Oregon had already lost on Thursday, so it was pretty well set up for the winner of the Nebraska and Michigan State game to move up in the rating for this week. Then things went south in a hurry. Nebraska wins the coin toss and defers but picks the wrong end of the field and MSU got the ball and the wind to start the game.

The Huskers did some things early that should have helped but turned into nothing. The Huskers took possession of the ball three times in Michigan territory and drove into Michigan State territory five times and never scored in the first half. The MSU defensive line killed the O-line of Nebraska. I think the O-line problems showed up early in the first quarter when Jake Cotton, Nebraska’s 305-pound guard, had a slow motion backward false-start penalty.

I am sure that is getting thousands of YouTube hits as Cotton very slowly falls on his fanny looking like he just took a sniper shot. It was just a five yard penalty and it looked funny but I am sure Bo wasn’t laughing.

Then in the fourth quar-ter bang! Nebraska scores 19 points and actually has a chance to win the game after De’Mornay Pierson-El runs a punt back 60 some yards to pull within five. MSU misses a field goal and NU starts what could have been a great come-back win. It ended with an interception and NU’s first loss of the season.

Nebraska certainly has control of their own destiny. Win out and they are in the championship game. Win and advance. Lots of things are going to have to change for that to happen. Let’s hope it does.

It was a beautiful day for golf at the West Wind Golf Course in Ogallala on Mon-day, Oct. 6

The Perkins County girls golf team was ready for the challenge of district action, however, no athletes quali-fied for the state invite.

“Overall, this was not our best team outing. Several girls were very disappoint-ed,” Michelle Buchanan, head PCS girls golf coach, said.

The experience was a learning one for both golf-ers and coach.

“I learned that each players perception of golf is different which affects the way they choose to play the game,” Buchanan said. “I also learned that we will spend more time on dividing courses, holes into different sections that will help players strategies to improve their game.”

Two break-out performances on the day belonged to Cassidy Goldenstein and Taylor Turner. Both achieved personal re-cords on the day.

Goldenstein shot a 139 and Turner a 143.Buchanan is already preparing for next year’s season.“The experience the girls got this year is huge going into

next year,” Buchanan said. “Now they will be able to use their experience to map courses as well as understanding their individual skills to improve their scores.”

A busy week of activity kept the Perkins County Lady Plainsmen volleyball team gain-ing experience.

The team first travelled to Imperial for the Chase County Triangular on Sept. 30.

PCS faced Chase County and dropped two straight sets to the Lady Longhorns, 14-25, 7-25.

“Serve receive was a struggle for us the en-tire night,” PCS head volleyball coach Penny Hite, said. “They know what they need to work on.”

Leading the team on offense was Kimberly Anderson with three kills.

Lila Konecky had one ace serve with one kill while Kadie Hanson picked up two kills and two assists. Claire Maaliao ended the match with two assists and three blocks.

could have capitalized on them.”Hite noted that it was ‘just an off night for

our primary passers.’Hanson had one ace serve with one kill and

four assists.Konecky led the team in kills with four while

Maaliao had five assists (team high) and one kill. Anderson had three kills.

“Intensity to finish still needs to be our focus as we strive to reach our goal this season,” Hite said. “It is a tough mountain to climb, how-ever, I know that this team has it in them to be great.”

PCS vS.SedGwiCk County

On Oct. 2 the Lady Plainsmen hosted Sedg-wick County (Colo) and a raucous crowd helped spur on PCS in a tight game.

PCS went down in three close sets, 22-25, 18-25, 16-25.

Each set the Lady Plainsmen would make a run and get close to the Cougars, but would succumb in the end.

“They fought hard and continued to close the gap,” Hite said.

A collision at the net between Anderson and Maaliao put Maaliao on the bench. The change in the line-up caused some confusion for the PCS squad, according to Hite.

“We had to change things drastically in the third set and we couldn’t overcome the changes that we had to make,” Hite said. “But those players did the best they could to make it work.”

Josie Osler had a standout game with five kills, two blocks and going 6 for 6 setting.

Anderson had eight kills while Sydney Wilson had one kill. Konecky ended the game with three kills and Maaliao and Hanson each had two kills.

Konecky had a team high six blocks and Anderson picked up five blocks.

Maaliao led PCS with 10 assists while Han-son had six and Osler had two.

PCS vS. SouthweSt

On Oct. 4 the Lady Plainsmen faced South-west (Bartley) and were defeated in straight sets, 17-25, 4-25, 11-25.

“The JV won in two sets and the communi-cation they had didn’t carry over to the varsity court,” Hite said.

Jessica Klingelhoefer, Osler, Hanson and Konecky were all 100 percent on serving with Hanson finishing with eight digs and Osler had seven.

Anderson had five kills in the game while Konecky finished with five.

by ladonna swedbergcontributing writer

Wallace traveled to Bart-ley last week for a difficult game against the Southwest Roughriders.

The Wildcats put up a tough battle but were defeated 34-20.

Southwest got off to a great start by putting up three touchdowns in the opening quarter while holding Wallace to just one. Josh May scored the Wildcats’ only first half touchdown when he crossed the goal line on a two yard run. The PAT was unsuccess-

ful so the score at the end of the first quarter showed the Roughriders leading 20-6.

By the time the second period started, both defenses stiffened and neither team was able to move the ball very effectively.

The scoreless quarter al-lowed Southwest to take their 20-6 lead into halftime.

Wallace looked like a dif-ferent team when they came out in the third quarter. They moved the ball right down the field on their first possession but on a first and goal at the five yard line, fumbled and turned the ball over.

The Cats defense wasted no time getting the ball back. The Roughriders had a third and 10 at their own 10-yard line when Jeff Harms recov-ered a fumble.

The Wildcats had a first and goal at the eight yard line. It took four plays but Josh May was able to bully his way into the end zone. With 2:57 remaining in the third quar-ter, Wallace had cut into the Southwest lead as the score stood at 20-12.

The Roughriders didn’t allow the Blue and White to celebrate very long as they quickly responded. On the

second play of their drive, quarterback Alec May got loose down the sideline for a 57 yard touchdown run. A completed pass on the two-point conversion increased the Southwest lead to 28-12.

May found a big hole for a 34 yard run and then he contin-ued to battle for yards as the fourth quarter got underway.

The Wildcats added to their score when Tanner Clough found a wide open Jeff Harms on a third and goal from the 10-yard line. May was able to tack on the two-point conver-sion to make the score 28-20.

With momentum on their

side, the Cats defense came up with a big four and out stop and forced the Roughriders to punt.

Wallace had the ball at mid-field and they were looking to put up another score but they came up short on a fourth down play and turned the ball over on downs.

Southwest was able to score on their next drive and a good chunk of their yardage on the drive was a result of penalties. They were unsuccessful on the PAT so with 4:57 remaining in the game, the Roughriders increased their lead to 34-20.

The defenses controlled the

rest of the game. Both teams were forced to

punt after three downs on their next two possessions.

Due to technical difficulties, there are not yet any stats for the game but there were some definite standouts.

Josh May had an amazing game running the ball and Jeff Harms and Bi Gatobu once again made their pres-ence known on the defensive side of the ball.

The Wildcats will host the Mullen Broncos for the 2014 homecoming game on Friday at 7 p.m.

Kris Pearson never thought it would happen to her. But shortly after her son Jeff was born, she and her husband Scott became the parents of a child with cancer and their lives were forever changed.

Kris’ son Jeff recovered from cancer, but she’s never been the same. Today, she ad-vocates for Childhood Cancer Awareness and this October she’s spearheading a fund-raiser for Childhood Cancer Awareness in partnership with the District 13 Haunted Attraction in Brule.

The Pumpkin Carving Con-test will raise funds for both a family impacted by cancer as well as a childhood cancer research organization based in Columbus.

Entrants will write their checks directly to the cause that appeals most to them when they drop off their carved pumpkin; 100 percent of the money from entry fees will go to these charitable causes.

The grand prize winner of the Pumpkin Carving Con-test will receive $100. Second through sixth place winners will receive a Sammy’s Super-heroes t-shirt.

Pumpkins will be displayed and judged in Brule at the District 13 Haunted Attrac-tion between Oct. 23- 26.

Several drop-off locations are available between North Platte and Brule. Contact Pearson at 308-530-9970 or visit the www.schooldistrict13.com web site for more informa-tion.

HASTINGS (AP) —Nebraska farmers and ranchers who want to fix some of their equipment will be able to save a little money, now that the state has dropped its sale and use tax on repair and replace-ment parts.

The Hastings Tribune says the state last week dropped the taxes it had been charging on repair and replacement parts for agricultural ma-chinery and equipment that qualify.

The change was prompted by legislation the Legislature passed earlier this year. The bill was sponsored by Sen. An-nette Dubas of Fullerton.

The Nebraska Farm Bureau has cited estimates that the state’s farmers and ranchers collectively will save between $9 million and $10 million a year.

Nebraska drops taxes on farm

Tree pruning with a purposeFall is a great time to be

outside in landscapes and gardens, taking stock of which plants are looking good and which plants seem to need a little help.

It is natural to want to “do” something to help a tree—prune it, fertilize it, polish it—wanting to touch it in some way.

Pruning is an oft needed maintenance treatment for good tree health, and to keep a tree and yard safe and looking good.

Pruning without a good reason is not good tree care practice.

Pruning just because a neighbor is doing it may not be beneficial for the tree, and

could result in too much live tree tissue being removed.

This can cause the tree to become stressed, and perhaps decline.

In fact, industry tree prun-ing standards (ANSI A300) say no more than 25 percent of a tree’s foliage should be re-moved in a single season, and if the tree cannot tolerate a lot of pruning, even less should be removed.

When determining how much pruning a tree can tolerate, an arborist may consider if the tree: is healthy, is still growing rapidly or has matured and slowed its growth, had its roots severed or damaged recently or in the past, suffers from disease, is

a species tolerant of heavy pruning.

“All that said, fall is a good time to prune to meet cer-tain tree growth goals,” said Tchukki Andersen, a staff arborist with the Tree Care Industry Association.

A good arborist will work to set an objective for the pruning job (such as what is desired when the work is done).

Pruning objectives usually include one or more of the fol-lowing: Reduce risk of damage to people or property, manage tree health and direction of growth, provide clearance for vehicles or roadways, improve tree structure, increase or improve aesthetics, restore

shape.“Once tree pruning objec-

tives are established, the arborist can provide specific details on how trees could be pruned to get the desired result,” said Andersen.

The pruning process can be overwhelming to those not familiar with shade and orna-mental tree pruning.

A qualified tree care expert trained in tree and woody plant health care can answer questions, as well as help with tree pruning goals.

Make sure to ask for tree pruning to be done according to ANSI A300 standards, the generally accepted industry standards for tree care prac-tices.

Owners of irrigated land in the Upper Republican Natural Resources District will con-tinue to pay a $10-per-irrigated-acre occupation tax for the new budget year. The URNRD board approved the occupation tax request, along with their tax request for the 2014-15 budget.

Their property tax request of $2,055,350 represents an increase of 2 percent over last year’s request. Irrigated land owners can expect to pay an occupation tax going forward. The $4.5 million in occupation tax revenues enables the URNRD to pay for their share of the bonds sold for the augmentation projects. Due to the increase in valua-tion across the district, the tax

NRD keeps occupation tax at $10 levellevy will drop from $0.085 to $0.065. The NRD is limited to a levy of $0.085.

Kansas to tour n-CorPE

Officials from the Kansas water resources and planning departments and the Depart-ment of Agriculture recently toured the Lincoln County augmentation project. URNRD Manager Jasper

Fanning said Kansas, Ne-braska and Colorado sat down together recently for compact discussions. One of the issues under dis-cussion is the amount of credit Nebraska and Colorado should receive for their augmentation projects. In non-binding arbitration, the arbiter ruled that Nebras-ka was entitled to full credit. Presently, 69 percent of the

pumping from the Rock Creek project and 54 percent from the Lincoln County project count towards compliance. Presently, Nebraska is stor-ing water necessary to meet compliance in Harlan County Dam. For Nebraska to receive credit, that water must pass over the state line. Fanning said Kansas wants to continue storing the water in Harlan rather than having

it released at a time it can’t be used. He said Nebraska believes they are in position to be in full compliance. Plus, the state has arbiter’s rulings on augmenta-tion credits in their favor. The question remains whether the states can come together on an agreement, Fanning said. The fact that the states are talking represents a step forward, he added.

A new app will give high school agri-science teachers a tool for teaching biotechnology to their students.

“The Journey of a Gene” is the product of a partnership between Iowa State University and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The project uses the example of soybean and the dis-ease, sudden death syndrome, to illustrate the process of genetic engineering.

The project began with a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant for more than $5 million titled “Transgenic Approaches to Sudden Death Syndrome in Soybean.” ISU scientists Madan Bhattacharyya and Alison Robertson envisioned an extension component that would target agri-science teachers who also lead FFA chapters across the country.

Bhattacharyya and Robertson thought an app that could be used on a smartphone or tablet would work best for teachers and their students. Robertson was familiar with UNL agronomy professor Don Lee’s teaching in genetics and biotechnology, and they partnered with him and UNL’s Plant and Soil Science eLibrary to develop and evaluate the app.

Grace Troupe, one of Lee’s graduate students, took the app development on as her master’s project.

She started with UNL and Lincoln programming experts and was led to Crowd Favorite, a small app development company. She used existing Plant and Soil Science eLibrary resources and worked with videographers to capture the work of scientists from UNL and ISU.

The app, at http://passel.unl.edu/ge/, shows “the real science behind genetic engineering,” Troupe said.

The Journey of a Gene breaks down the genetic engineering process into four sections in showing how soybeans can be engi-neered to be resistant to sudden death syndrome.

In the video, scientists explain techniques used in the process.“We hope the app will capture the attention of youth and

educate them in plant biotechnology, which will likely play a key role in the successful second green revolution to feed the ever-growing population in the 21st century,” Bhattacharyya said.

Bhattacharyya added that he hopes exposing students to bio-technology through the app might even encourage some to enter plant science as a career.

Troupe said the team will be getting feedback from teach-ers and further refining the app. It will be piloted with college

New app to help in teaching biotech in high schools

students this fall to see how it changes their attitudes toward genetic engineering, and the app will be used next spring in the Nebraska FFA contest. Troupe also is presenting it in other regional meetings.

The app gives science teachers a way to present very compli-cated but critical, science-based information to their students.

“The reason they don’t teach this very much is they feel it’s a really difficult subject. They worry about misunderstanding the science,” Troupe said.

She cited the example of one teacher who used to spend 10 min-utes on genetic engineering in class in the past; now, using the app, he wants to do eight full class periods on the topic.

“These classrooms have our future producers and consumers. They need to understand this technology so they can make bet-ter decisions,” Troupe said.

UNL’s Plant and Soil Sciences eLibrary produces educational material covering aspects of agriculture ranging from genetics to soil science to agronomic practices.

Founded in 1999, the eLibrary is a collaborative project be-tween the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture.

There are three ways to get help:

1. Call UNL Extension in Perkins County 308-352-7580 to make appointment in Grant on Nov. 3, 10 or Dec. 1.

Tax-filing and payment extensions expire Oct. 15The Internal Revenue

Service today urged taxpay-ers whose tax-filing extension runs out on Oct. 15 to double check their returns for often-overlooked tax benefits and then file their returns elec-tronically using IRS e-file or the Free File system.

More than a quarter of the nearly 13 million taxpayers who requested an automatic six-month extension this year have yet to file.

Although Oct. 15 is the last day for most people, some still have more time, including members of the military and others serving in Afghani-stan or other combat zone localities who typically have until at least 180 days after they leave the combat zone to both file returns and pay any taxes due.

Before filing, the IRS en-

courages taxpayers to take a moment to see if they qualify for these and other often-over-looked credits and deductions:

• Benefits for low-and moderate-income workers and families, especially the Earned Income Tax Credit. The special EITC Assistant can help taxpayers see if they’re eligible.

• Savers credit, claimed on Form 8880, for low-and moderate-income workers who contributed to a retire-ment plan, such as an IRA or 401(k).

• American Opportunity Tax Credit, claimed on Form 8863, and other education tax benefits for parents and col-lege students.

The IRS urged taxpayers to choose the speed and conve-nience of electronic filing. IRS e-file is fast, accurate and

secure, making it an ideal op-tion for those rushing to meet the Oct. 15 deadline. The tax agency verifies receipt of an e-filed return, and people who file electronically make fewer mistakes too.

Of the more than 143 million returns received by the IRS so far this year, 85 percent or nearly 122 million have been e-filed.

Taxpayers who purchase their own software can also choose e-file, and most paid tax preparers are now re-quired to file their clients’ returns electronically.

Anyone expecting a refund can get it sooner by choosing direct deposit.

Taxpayers can choose to have their refunds depos-ited into as many as three accounts. See Form 8888 for details.

• Sound travels 4.3 times faster in water than in air. • About 78 percent of the average human brain consists of water. • Macadamia nuts are toxic to dogs.
