The Bullock auto auction is over and all that is left is for the remaining cars at the auction site to be hauled back to their new home. According to Yvette Van-DerBrink, who conducted the auction for the Bullock family, around 2,000 people attended the sale on Sept. 6. There were over 600 bidders at the location south of Grant with another 600 online bidders. “The sale was phenom-enal,” VanDerBrink said. “People had fun and it was a good crowd. The online presence was just insane, pos-sibly because Grant is in the middle of nowhere.” Vehicles, parts and other items found new homes as far away as Texas, Florida, Arizona and Canada. The prize of the sale was a 1959 Cadillac convertible that sold for $81,000 to a buyer in Georgia. A 1949 Buick Roadmaster, as made famous by the movie, ‘Rain Man,’ sold for $38,000 to a buyer in Arizona while a Canadian buyer purchased the double upright gas pump for $13,500. One antique pedal car sold for $1,225. “We did way more than we anticipated. It was just a good sale, a hot sale,” VanDerBrink said. The Perkins County Chamber of Commerce spearheaded efforts to pre-pare the community for the

influx of people coming for the sale. Chamber and Grant Volunteer Fire Department members helped direct traffic during the sale with several businesses extending hours on Saturday. According to members of the Little Country Kitchen booth at the auction site, food sales were good. The Men-nonite Youth Group reported around 500 hamburgers served and Ride Rite Garage, which sold water and popcorn as well as battery service, explained sales were fair. Youth Development Club (YDC) members explained less than 50 meals were served and Grant Packing, which had food available at their location, served around 20 people. Subway, In and Out, Kwik Stop and 310 Central all reported slightly increased traffic on Saturday. Don Softley, Grant Volun-teer Fire Department chief, reported there were no acci-dents or calls for the depart-ment in regard to the sale. Three Gator vehicles were used by the fire department to transport between 100-150 elderly and disabled people to the sale site. Gas for the vehicles was donated by a local farmer, Perkins County Schools and the fire depart-ment. Four-wheelers were also used and were loaned to the department from area farmers. Softley estimates that over 400 man-hours were put in see sAlE, Page 3

Outside of the merger be-tween Wheatland and Grant schools, Perkins County Pub-lic Schools board president Shawn Turner has had one other topic that he’s received as much feedback on from the public: the treatment of the laptop computers by students. “I have had more comments on the abuse of the comput-ers, next to the merger, than

anything,” Turner said at the August PCS board meeting. “People really want those things taken care of.” Technology coordinator for Perkins County Schools, Mi-chelle Evans, explained that the new rules for the year are being vehemently enforced by herself and other school officials. “We went over the policy changes and proper care of the laptops,” Evans said about the first few days of school.

“We talked about what hap-pens if they get lost or stolen or have major damage. We will follow exactly what we said.” New rules were implement-ed this school year after 10-12 laptop screens were broken last school year. Policies have been changed to note that if a student is found negligent in care of a laptop, that student will be given a lower-grade model. If circumstances prove that

a student is negligent in a laptop being stolen or lost, the student is responsible for up to $500 in replacement costs. If there are no liquid spill issues or deliberate damage to the batteries of the laptops, replacing the batteries will be covered by Apple Care, the program the school utilizes through Apple Computers. All chargers and acces-sories, if damaged, will be replaced by the student at their own cost.

As a means of getting the most out of tax dollars, the City of Grant and Perkins County officials have made a switch in health care coverage for employees. For the county, the switch will mean a substantial finan-cial windfall while the city will see far more coverage for employees and families for the same money spent. The City of Grant had long had insurance for employees through NACO (Nebraska Association of County Officials), a company that served all county officials in the state. However, a ruling by the Nebraska Department of Insurance in 2013, dictated that cities could no longer be in NACO. NACO formed an off-shoot company, NACO Benefits Ser-vices, to help municipalities, however, Grant City Adminis-trator Dana Harris explained that once the door was opened to begin looking for a new insurance carrier, the city began exploring all options. After consulting with Per-kins County Commissioner Steve Tucker, the city began to lean toward CoOpportu-

nity, the company the county switched to officially Jan. 1 of this year. The plan the city agreed upon will give more coverage for the seven full-time city em-ployees than previous. Harris explained that for essentially the same funds the city is providing family coverage and a contribution to a Health Savings Account (HSA), compared to prior years when only individual employees were covered. Harris hopes this new plan will help recruit and retain employees for the city. “Working for a city, people expect good benefits and we felt as a government we need good health coverage for em-ployees and their families,” Harris said. “Hopefully, this will help recruit and retain employees when needed.” As of July 1 the NACO con-tract with the city ran out and the new contract with CoOp-portunity began and Harris noted that it is too early right now to truly tell how the tran-sition has gone. She noted there are a few adjustments that need to be made with individual employ-ee plans, but no major issues have popped up thus far. “We really don’t know as far as the overall picture how things are going yet, but the county has said they are pleased with the new cover-age situation,” Harris said. “Right now, for us, it is too early to tell.” Switching insurance has provided a large amount of money saved by the county.“This has been a huge savings for us,” Rita Long, Perkins County Clerk, explained. The original move from Blue Cross and Blue Shield to CoOpportunity would have saved the county between $160,000-$180,000 annually. With that large of a savings, the county commissioners agreed to start HSA accounts and give short-term disability options to employees in addi-tion to their regular benefits. Even with the added benefits to the 36-38 county employees on insurance, the

dennis spady Dennis Gilbert Spady was born April 7, 1936, at his Grandmother Kelly’s home in Imperial, Neb., to Clar-ence (Bruz) and Nelda (Kelly) Spady. He grew up on a farm west of Imperial and attended a ru-ral school through eighth grade. He graduated from Chase County High School in 1953. After gradu-ation Dennis worked in Kansas City, Mo., at the Buick, Pontiac, Oldsmobile plant during the day and attended college classes at night study-ing architecture. He then worked for a cabinet maker and a custom home builder. On Sept. 21, 1958, Dennis married Celia Joyce Karns, his high school sweetheart, at the Methodist Church in Imperial. Their first two years of marriage were spent in Kansas City. Dennis enlisted in the Kansas National Guard with Basic Training at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. Later he was stationed in Fort Ord, Calif., for six months of active duty. He was in the engineer-ing division and built bridges. In 1960, the couple and new daughter Cynthia returned to Imperial so Dennis could help with the family construc-tion business. Dennis worked with his grandfather George, father Bruz and uncle Kenny, all mentors of his carpentry skills. Shortly after their son Mark was born in 1962, Den-nis and Celia purchased a home in Champion, Neb., by the Champion Lake and Mill, where they would raise their family. Son Blaine joined the family in 1969. The house was remodeled several times and continued to be “home” for the rest of his life. Dennis built numerous homes in the Imperial area over the years while working in the family company, Spady Construction. This tradition continues through his son Mark and grandson Alec, and other family in the years to come. Dennis generously gave back to his community through volunteering his time to many projects. He served on the Champion School Board for several years and more recently took a seat on the Chase County Champion Mill Board. It was also com-mon to find him helping those in need of carpentry skills after regular working hours. Dennis’ love for God was evident through his various contributions to the cur-rent First United Methodist Church in Imperial. Dennis helped design and was a co-chair of the building commit-tee for the church. Dennis, his brother, sons and nephews framed the church along with help from several volunteer church members. He also gave his time and talents to the sound system of the new church. He served on the church’s Finance Commit-tee and as Stewardship Chair for several years. He received his 50-year membership pin in 2013.

obituary Dennis and Celia sponsored several youth mission trips. Later they traveled to Mexico on five different United Meth-odist Mission teams. Dennis was a loving and patient father and teacher. He took time to teach not only his children and grandchildren but also their friends how to snow and water ski. Fishing, camping and spending time at the cabin were also favorite activities. He and Celia also enjoyed vacationing. They traveled from Alaska to the Caribbean to the Holy land and many places in between. Dennis enjoyed good health most of his life. He worked as long as he was able until a few years ago when health problems brought about his retirement. Dennis’ philosophy on life was to serve. He served his church, his community, his family and his Lord. Dennis passed away Wednesday morning, Sept. 3, 2014, at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Neb. He was 78 years of age. He was preceded in death by his parents, grandson Austin Spady, sister-in-law Elva Spady and sister Doris Baldwin.

Linda mcnair Linda Lou (Staub) McNair was born in Columbus, Neb., on November 25, 1946 to Emory and Nina Staub. Her brothers John and Bill would tell you she would show her early streak of compassion by being a tattle tale, but of course that was just to keep them out of trouble. Her love of dancing, which her grand-daughters have inherited, started in high school where she was known to travel up to 50 miles to attend. She graduated from Colum-bus High in 1965 then went on to pursue her passion of nurs-ing which first revealed itself when she was a candy striper. She completed her eduction at Bryan School of nursing in 1968. She then worked for five years on the pediatric floor at Bryan Memorial Hospital. It was during this time that she met the love of her life, Pat McNair. After school, work and the birth of her oldest son Jason, the couple moved back to Pat’s hometown of Imperial in 1973. She continued to work as a nurse for 40 years at the Chase County Community Hospital. It spoke volumes that so many people requested her to be their nurse. In her last days while she was receiving care, numer-ous care givers and nurses remarked at what a wonderful nurse she was and even called her the “Best of the West.” In addition to Jason, they wanted to have a daughter and were blessed with three more sons, Ben, Alex and Sam. In time God gave them four wonderful daughters-in-law. Her favorite hobby was shopping. In fact we are expecting to receive a large floral arrangement from Dis-cover and Visa any day now. When pressed on this shop-ping issue by her husband her defense was that she had to do the shopping for four sons, four daughters-in-law, 14 grandkids and numerous friends and family. She had a tradition that started with her boys that everyone enjoyed a back to school one-on-one shopping date with Linda. She contin-

obituaryued that tradition with her grandkids and they all loved that special time with her. Her other passion in life was being a faithful prayer warrior, praying individu-ally for family and friends. Many remember the words “How can I pray for you?” coming from her. She was an FCA huddle leader for 27 years in Impe-rial and also served on the State FCA board. She was very active in women’s min-istry at the Imperial Bible Church and was involved in numerous community activi-ties. She was faithful in atten-dance at all of the grandkids activities and was known to travel many miles to be there to support them. Even as her health de-clined, her heart’s desire was to reach out to others who were experiencing trials. She loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and served Him until the end. She was preceded in death by her parents, Emory Staub and Nina (Staub) Krepel; brother Bill Staub; and nephew Darby Staub. She is survived by her husband Pat McNair; sons and daughters-in-law, Jason and Jacque McNair of Den-ver Colo.; Ben and Natalie McNair of Omaha; Alex and Kristi McNair of Imperial; Sam and Abby McNair of Imperial; and brother and sister-in-law John and Jean-nie Staub of Omaha. Grandchildren include Harper, Aiden, Hannah, Isaac, Joshua, Kyra, Taylin, Mallie, Bryn, Landree, Ali, Ava, Aria and Anna. Services were held Aug. 29 at Imperial Bible Church with Pastor Robby Clay of-ficiating. Pianist was Linda Varilek. McNair’s grand-daughters sang “Blessings.” Internment was at Mount Hope Cemetery. Casket-bearers Ed Kaiser, Jason Burke, Derek Russell, Seth Kunnemann, Matt Hanna and Matt McNair. Special absentee casketbearer was Jay Bubak. Honorary casket-bearers were the FCA kids from 1987-2014. There are memorials established in memory of Linda to FCA, Mission Nebraska, Maranatha, Ninos De La Luz and New Tribes Missions. Liewer Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.

county is saving $90,000 a year. Commissioner Steve Tucker spearheaded the notion of try-ing to save the county money by exploring different insur-ance options.

According to the auction service, VanDerBrink Auctions, the sale brought in about 2,000 people from around North America, including Mexico and Canada, and many continental states were represented, from California to Wisconsin.

to the sale. One drunk driver was picked up Saturday night. The driver was from Kansas and Brueggeman could not determine if the person was in Grant specifically for the sale. From Aug. 14 until the day of the sale the Perkins County Sheriff ’s office conducted over 51 vehicle inspections for the sale. Andi Lee, Perkins County

Chamber of Commerce presi-dent, explained that chamber volunteers put in over 200 man-hours of time to help coordinate different aspects of the sale, including parking, before and during the sale. “We came together to help showcase Perkins County. That’s what communities do, and I’m very proud of that,” Lee said. Perkins County Health

Services provided a tent for people to get out of the heat and also had medical service available during the auction. According to Jody Snogren of PCHS, not even a bandage was used and there were no medical emergencies or cases of heat stress in the crowd. PCHS staff worked a total of around 12 man-hours to put the entire triage together to ensure safety in the crowd.

INSURANCE: county saves $90,000 with switchFROM PAGE 1

“I think that this has been really great (switching insurance coverage). It has lowered insurance costs and given the county employees a HSA, which is something they can use to pay off their

deductible,” Tucker said. “It has been a win-win across the board.” The transition for the coun-ty has been smooth, accord-ing to Long. An insurance brokerage firm from Lincoln,

Benefit Management, had three different informational sessions with employees to make certain all questions were answered. “It helped put a lot of minds at ease,” Long said.

Hassebrook and Ricketts square off at state fair gubernatorial debate

T he underdog Democrat and the millionaire Republican took to the stage of the State Fair to make their cases why they should be the next

Nebraska Governor during an hour-long debate. As expected, the answers to the questions sounded well - scripted and partisan.

Democrat Chuck Hassebrook, former head of the Center for Rural Affairs in Lyons and a for-mer University of Nebraska Regent is clearly underfunded in what some have called the most im-portant governor’s race in Nebraska since 1990. His op-ponent, millionaire Pete Ricketts is an executive with TD Ameritrade in Omaha, who bested a field of six in the bloody Republican

primary which showcased some of the nastiest attack ads ever in a Nebraska race.

Ricketts said that he will “grow Ne-braska” – a phrase he repeated over and over – while Hassebrook will just “grow government.”

He tried to paint the Democrat as an Obama supporter. When asked if Obama has been good for Nebraska, Hassebrook said he “doesn’t blindly follow any politi-cal leader” and admitted that Obama’s impact on Nebraska has been “a mixed bag.”

Hassebrook touted the importance of early childhood edu-cation as part of the answer to a number of Nebraska problems ranging from prison reform to health and human services.

He challenged Ricketts to prove that he and his family weren’t behind the attack ads on Repub-lican Jon Bruning in the primary and the anti-Hassebrook ones that have already run in this campaign.

Ricketts said he doesn’t have any con-trol over any third party organizations.

Hassebrook said that Ricketts’ dad, Joe, has already spent $4 million on races in Georgia and Michigan.

Both men said they support the death penalty and prison reform.

Ricketts said he opposes building a new prison and would seek a statutory change to convert good time laws to earned time.

Hassebrook said he thinks that alterna-tive programs for non-violent offenders would reduce the need for a new prison,

capiTol view

J.L. Schmidt

but everything must be on the table. He said the governor already has the power to change good time.

On the topic of Medicare expansion, an idea that current Governor Dave Hei-neman has rejected, Hassebrook said Rickett’s intent to oppose expansion is putting partisanship ahead of common sense. Ricketts said Hassebrook’s sup-port of the expansion shows his desire to grow government.

Both men said they opposed increased government regulation that has ham-

pered entrepreneurial and small business develop-ment in the state. Both also spoke against unfund-ed mandates.

Asked about the events in Ferguson, Missouri, in specific and the status of race relations in general, Ricketts said he thinks that law enforcement needs to be more transpar-ent and lauded Omaha’s police chief for his recent handling of a shooting there.

He said work on improv-ing race relations needs to continue.

Hassebrook said he couldn’t speak to the way police in Ferguson handled their affairs and noted that the high poverty rate among black children in Omaha is a sign that race relations need to improve and early childhood educa-tion is key.

The candidates disagreed on the ballot issue, which will allow voters to decide if the state’s minimum wage should be increased.

Hassebrook said raising the minimum

wage is good for the economy. Ricketts said there are better solutions such as improving worker skills.

They agreed that higher education offered by the University of Nebraska system, the state colleges and the community colleges are important to keeping the state competitive.

They disagreed on what funding and opportunity should be provided to immigrants.

Ricketts said he supports Heine-man’s anti-Immigration policies.

Hassebrook said he supports the so-called dreamers, children of illegal im-migrants who have grown up here and want driver’s licenses and assistance to attend college.

On a quirky question, Hassebrook said he and his family would live in the Governor’s Mansion if he were elected.

Omahan Ricketts ducked the ques-tion and said it’s too early to know.

Critics often chided former Gov-ernor Ben Nelson, also an Omaha resident, for spending more nights at his west Omaha home than in the mansion.

Hassebrook said the buck will stop with him if he is elected governor and he will take responsibility for fixing the broken prison system and getting Nebraskans to work together. “Nebras-kans’ votes aren’t for sale and I’ll earn your vote,” he said.

Ricketts said the race boils down to a difference between growing Nebraska and growing government. “I want to create opportunity for all Nebras-kans.”

The candidates debate again in October.

Tribune-SenTinel ediTorial

By TIm lINSCOTTmanaging editor

Having seen up close and personal the amount of volunteer time and hours that went into getting the Bullock sale up and running, everyone involved needs to be commended for their efforts.

I especially want to shed some light on Andi Lee, Perkins County Chamber of Commerce president. Andi took a lot of responsibility on herself and was not only helping coordinate things like parking, but was instrumental in being in the trenches, on the ground level, hitting the pavement and all of those other euphemisms for working hard. Andi, along with Tiffany Long, Dana Harris, Don Softley, Nora and Dave Mendyk, Jim Brueggeman and myself, made up the core of the committee that tackled the issues of potentially thousands of people flocking to our city. Nearly 700 man-hours of planning, coordinating and executing a plan to make sure people came and left here safely and remembered what we’ve known a very long time: Grant is a special place. I want to thank everyone involved, including the Perkins County Commissioners, who also saw the need for planning and preparing for something as potentially as huge as this sale. There was not a crowd of 25,000 like in Pierce, Nebraska, at the sale in 2013, however, there was an increase of the local population because of the sale. All parties involved did their best to make sure all contingencies were looked at and plans were made to accommodate for those scenarios. There should be a fervent feeling of pride in the heart of everyone who was involved with this project as the town was prepared. Thank you all and God Bless.

Many thanks to thosewho helped Grant

Grant Tribune, this is Brooke.” Sound famil-iar? It should if you’ve called us in the last 16

months. I’ve talked to countless people on the phone, by email, and had the privilege of meet-ing many of you in person.

It’s always nice to put a face to a voice. If you don’t know me, I’m sure you recognize my last name, and chances are, if you live around here, we’re prob-ably related in one way or another. I usually just

introduce myself as Russ’s daughter, and to date that has been a satisfactory introduc-tion. Then I listen as my new friend explains how my grandpa’s cousin’s wife’s brother is married to their mother’s aunt. And there ya go! My new friend is family just like that! With Russ and Lori being my parents, I’ve grown up in the newspaper biz all my life. After teaching for five years, the ink in my veins brought me back to the busi-ness my grandparents, Loral and Elna Johnson, started several decades ago, and I’m right where I need to be. You won’t see me writing much. I’m more on the “busi-ness” side of things, but I’ve decided to follow in Mom’s footsteps and write my own column. People have asked what I’m going to write about. Guess you’ll just have to stay tuned and find out. I’m really only saying that be-cause I don’t have a good solid answer to the question.

It’s all relative However, I can tell you I will NOT be writing about politics, and I’ll leave sports up to my good friend Larry. My column’s title? “Because I said so.” I like to be right. Who doesn’t? I’m a researcher at heart and consult my friend Google on a daily basis. But my lovely cherubs don’t care about my mad research skills, and therefore, some-times, “because I said so” is just the easiest way to settle an argument. I know. I know. We all heard it as kids, and we all said, “When I’m a parent I will NOT say that to my kids!” That didn’t work out so well for me. You? This weekend I found my-self saying it to my 10-year-old son, who kept saying, “But Mom, that’s not a reason. I want to know WHY. WHY can’t you tell me WHY?” Sometimes there just is no other logical answer! I’ll leave you with the basics. I live in Ogallala and am Mommy to three amaz-ingly beautiful children who you will probably be reading plenty about, Austin (10), Tayvin (7) and Preslin (4).Needless to say, I do not get to “share a Coke” with my daughters. I’ve been asked more than once how Austin got such a normal name, and how to pronounce Tayvin’s name. Like it’s spelled. Seriously, how else could you pronounce it? I specifically put a “y” in it to avoid confusion. As for Preslin, we liked the name Presley but I had to keep the “in” theme going. I’m quirky like that. Anyhoo, I look forward to sharing my thoughts and happenings with you. In the meantime, I’m at your service here at the Grant Tribune! Talk to you soon!

Perhaps it’s human nature that we adapt, and survive. ~Stephen Hawking

St. Paul says in Romans chapter 13 that we are to be subject to the governing authorities—

because all of these authorities have been instituted by God. We might be fine with that as long as we are in agreement with those who govern over us, but what about those times when the opposite is

true, when the approval rating for Congress is at an all-time

low, and no one in government seems capable of getting any-thing right? I suppose that’s always been a problem. When Paul wrote these words the Roman Em-pire was in control of much of the known world, and the people to whom he wrote his letter probably weren’t too fa-vorably disposed toward these foreign invaders. How strange it must have sounded to them to hear Paul encourage them to be submissive and obedient to those who were subjugating them. And the same might be said of those at other times of his-tory who lived under oppres-sive regimes—such as Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein and dozens of others that we could think of. It’s hard to

imagine that our Lord would expect His people to show respect and honor to some of these evil rulers who so clear-ly were disobedient to His will and ways. But although there are times when citizens must rightly oppose an evil leader, for the most part, Paul is saying that citizens have a duty to obey the laws of the land in which they live—and to respect those in positions of authority over them. Consider the example of Jesus. He was wrongfully ac-cused and condemned by the governing authorities of His day, and yet He submitted to them—even telling His fol-lowers that they must not put up a fight. He knew that His heavenly Father had a plan in

all of this, and that God could use even corrupt officials to accomplish His set purpose. Perhaps that’s the way we need to understand this pas-sage; God is still in control. He knows exactly what He’s doing. And even as He sent His Son into a world that was totally corrupted by sin and lost in darkness, even as our Savior was obedient unto death in order to free us from sin and give us the promise of eternal life through faith in Him; so also our Lord asks His people to live as good, respect-ful citizens here—as we wait for Him to bring to completion His plan for this world and we are welcomed into our eternal dwelling.RON kRAUSe is the pastor of Zion lutheran Church in Grant

In my last offering for you to be an armchair witness to my growing up years (My life -My Party-I Will Cry) com-mentary I was potty training. Remember God is my tour guide. So—here we go!!

I have lots of questions - sometimes it takes big people

awhile to figure out my ques-tions. I can let them know I’m hungry or thirsty and don’t always have to “cry” to let them know. I like to play like my toys are real. God tells me I have a good

imagination and pretend very well. He did mention that sometimes I was too demand-ing. He said, “that’s the same old lesson again. You want what you want now. You must remember, you will get it when someone has time.”

I listen to others talk and I can talk with them. I can follow directions they give me. (an aside - at age 76 I still do that.) I asked God, “Is that weird?” He said, “No, it was good practice to use those 50 or so words I knew.”

Here they go again; Mom and Dad are planning another one of those birthday party deals. This time they say I need to hold up three fingers. God tells me in his party (my life) planning book for my “growing” he wants me to be able to check off a lot of “growing” assignments. He

Growing can bring tough lessonstells me I will be able to climb much easier and safely, I will love to throw, catch and kick balls, I will learn to ride my new tricycle. There was more to work on—holding pencils and colors like I should so I can color pictures and copy letters mommy makes for me. I will unbutton things but may still need help to button them back up.

Some other learning adven-tures were learning names of colors and matching them up. He told me I would enjoy funny stories; be able to un-derstand what others said to me and I would be able to talk more clearly in what he called sentences.

I began to wonder if I would ever get to take a day off as he still had more for me to learn in this “third” year of my life’s party. When I asked him how this was all going to happen he assured me a year was quite a long time and we, He and I and Mom and Dad would work on things one at a time.

It really did sound great that I would be able to un-dress myself and exciting that dressing myself would hap-pen also. I will be able to eat without being quite so messy. I’m sure Mom will appreci-ate that one. The last one he mentioned was I would begin to want to “share.” You know, I heard Mom and Dad use that word when I was with other kids, but I am not too cool with that! I even had to “cry” about it sometimes. After all, they gave “me” those things, not everybody else. This was going to take some doing.

So long for now. God willing I will visit with you again in October. Jo

The Perkins County Area Arts Council welcomes Imperial area photog-rapher Penny Zadina,

whose photographs are on display at Meadowlark Gallery during the month of September. An open house will be held in her honor on Sunday, Sept. 14, noon-2 p.m., during which the public can meet with the artist and enjoy

refreshments provided by the arts council.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

After graduating from col-lege in Denver, Penny real-ized she wanted to return to her home town. She married her cowboy, Brandon Zadina of Ogallala, the model for many of her photos. They live and work on her family’s third generation ranch near Enders.

Having grown up on a ranch, Zadina developed a lifelong love of the outdoors. With her studio right outside her door, she is rarely without a camera as she chronicles life on the ranch, nature and the outdoors through her

photographs. “I have always enjoyed the

outdoors, watching and ob-serving nature and all it has to offer, and growing up on a ranch gave me that opportu-nity,” she said.

Posting her pictures on Facebook, she received such a positive response from friends that she was encouraged to pursue her interest in photog-raphy more seriously.

Her subjects include brand-ings, rodeos, and everyday country life in southwest Nebraska.

In 2013 and 2014, her photo-graphs were featured at the Nebraska Cattlemen’s Ball. She has also displayed at the Chase County Museum and at several businesses.

In addition to her photog-raphy, Zadina assists on the ranch and enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter Odessa. She has been a hairstylist for 16 years, and has owned Bella Salon in Imperial for 11 years.

Working animals are a dominant theme in many of Zadina’s photos, now on display at Meadowlark Gallery in Grant.

Invitational

Football is still footballThis past weekend saw the

Perkins County High School football team play their first 8-man football game. Al-though the end result wasn’t what the local team wanted,

fans got to see that football is still football. Now there is a new trivia question. Who scored the first touchdown for PCHS in their first 8-Man foot-ball contest? Derek Sis, and it didn’t take him long to do it as he ran the opening

kick-off back for a touch-down.

Elm Creek was a big, experi-enced football team and it proved to be the difference in this contest.

PCHS is going to see a couple of teams like that especially when they en-counter Hemingford a couple weeks from now, but they will have some more experience by then and it appears the Plainsmen have an opportu-nity to improve greatly as the season moves along.

They are young and that makes it a little tougher, but I think they are headed in the right direction.

The University of Nebraska football team had a little more trouble than a lot of people thought they would have when they took on McNeese State. Ameer Abdullah made a Heisman kind of run in the last minute of regulation to get the win, but nothing came too easy for the Huskers.

I don’t even attempt to know what the game plan was for the Huskers, but I wonder sometimes when you have a player like Abdullah who is certainly better than aver-age, and he touches the ball just three times in the fourth quarter in a close game, what your strategy is there.

For awhile I thought the Huskers were going for a school record in passes thrown in a game.

Granted, I think they have a pretty talented group of receivers, but the running game isn’t too shabby either. In looking at the schedule,

Miami is a game everyone seems to be looking forward to playing. I noticed that on the internet there are already t-shirts and other apparel for sale and the game was two games away at the time. Fresno State looked like a trap game but maybe this game brought back some focus to the Huskers. It seems that every team has some players and on that any given day deal, upsets happen. The Huskers have to get better to be in the running for any-thing at the end of the season.

The Big Ten is being touted this year as a weak confer-ence. Saturday did very little to change that notion. Ohio State gets beat and they are supposed to be the best coached, most talented team in the conference depend-ing upon who you listen to I guess.

Michigan State is a decent football team and it appeared that they were going to maybe get by Oregon, but in the end the speed of Ducks got by the Spartans. That doesn’t even sound possible does it. The speed of the Ducks vs Spar-tans.

Michigan gets beat by the Irish. Purdue was defeated by Central Michigan, Northwest-ern was defeated by North-ern Illinois but Illinois won, Rutgers won, Nebraska won, Wisconsin won, Maryland won, Iowa won, Minnesota won, Penn State won, Iowa won, and Indiana didn’t play. None of the winning teams on Saturday played a team that is considered a power this year.

All of the Big 10’s fourteen teams are not regarded as top teams by a lot of the sports writers and the only thing that will change that is for the teams to win some of the big non-conference games and then do well in bowl games.

That certainly isn’t a big concern to me as a fan, because if Nebraska would win all their games, every-thing will be pretty good in Huskerland. It wasn’t such a bad weekend; even KU won a football game!

Just for fun, who scored the first basket in the cur-rent Plainsmen gym when it opened. That is a real trivia question? It was built in 1971 but we didn’t play games in it until 1972.

Taking early momen-tum, the Perkins County Plainsmen started out the 2014 football season with a flurry.

However, the momentum would not last and the Plainsmen fell 60-32 to Elm Creek.

Derek Sis ignited the crowd by taking the open-ing kick-off 75-yards for a TD. The Plainsmen gave up

a TD on Elm Creek’s first possession but fired back when Sis broke free for 37 yards and a TD. The Plains-men were up 12-8 early in the first quarter.

It turned out to be a very long first quarter for PCS, as the Buffaloes would score four touchdowns by the end of the quarter, going up 34-12 to start the second stanza.

Elm Creek would score on two big runs, one from 78-yards out, to have a 48-12 lead going into halftime.

Both squads would get into a comfort zone on defense, with each team scoring one touchdown. Charles Johnston scored on a 17-yard run for the Plainsmen.

The offense started to warm up in the fourth quarter with PCS scoring twice. Josh Johnson scored from nine yards out and Tyson Patrick would break into the open for a 30-yard TD run.

Plainsmen head coach Carlie Wells explained his team knows what went wrong.

“We started the game off well and our kids gave great effort,” Wells said. “However, we made a few errors that can be corrected. We did not turn the ball over and our kids recognized their mis-takes.”

Sis led the team in yard-age with 95 yards rushing while Johnston ended the game with 41 yards. Kiffen Cook picked up 33 yards and Johnson had 29 yards rushing for PCS.

Sis had two solo and four assisted tackles with one sack while Miles Lagler and Carson Sletten each had four solo and three assisted tackles against Elm Creek.

Elm Creek had 436 rushing yards against the Plainsmen. The Buffaloes had one fumble while PCS had no turnovers in the game.

The team heads to Hitch-cock County this Friday.

“This is when you should see your most improvement and I expect our kids to im-prove from week one to week two,” Wells said.

Hitchcock County defeated Cheylin (Kan.) 45-0 in the sea-son opener on Friday night.

‘This is when you should see your most improvement and I expect our kids to

improve from week one to week two.”

The golf season is in full swing and Perkins County is gain-ing experience with every meet.

At the Bayard Invite on Aug. 28 the team was led by Amanda Reichert, shooting a 114, earning sixth place.

Tied for 12th place with a 137 was Kyla Brueggeman and Taylor Turner turned in a 173 on the day. Cassidy Goldenstein withdrew from the action with a wrist injury.

Playing JV was Mia Holscher, ending the day with a 94. The team did not post a team score due to lack of team numbers.

The Kimball Invitational was moved to Sept. 2 from Sept. 18 and the Lady Plainsmen finished second overall with a team score of 545.

Brueggeman paced PCS with a score of 118, finishing sev-enth. Coming in eighth was Reichert with a 119. Holscher shot a 138 and Turner a 169. Goldenstein ended the afternoon with a 184.

The team turned in a score of 510 at Creek Valley on Sept. 4, however, no Lady Plainsmen placed at the invite. Reichert had a 111, Brueggeman a 117 and Holscher a 127. Goldenstein carded a 155 and Turner a 205.

Being a young team, head coach Michelle Buchanan knows there are challenges each week.

“Since four of the five players are freshmen, all courses are a challenge because they’ve never played them before,” Buch-anan said. “Everyone has consistently improved, so they have all contributed.”

The team next heads to Lexington on Friday.“It is a long drive to Lexington and we have to leave early in

the morning, so my biggest concern is getting good rest before the meet,” Buchanan said.

The 2014 Perkins County volleyball squad started the season with a solid test, host-ing North Platte St. Patrick’s on Sept. 4.

The Lady Plainsmen had some momentum in the first set, battling the Irish, but came up just shy, 17-25. The second set showed the team beginning to show some wear and tear, dropping the set 11-25.

By the third set the passing game was lacking and the Lady Plainsmen lost 9-25.

“Tonight’s game was a definite eye-opener for all the girls,” said PCS head volley-ball coach Penny Hite after the contest. “They have been working so hard in practice to master their passing, but tonight, they struggled.”

On offense the two seniors on the squad, Courtney Oster-miller and Lila Konecky, led the way with three kills each. Ostermiller also had two blocks and Konecky had four blocks with one ace block.

“Courtney and Lila did a good job of hustling. They are both very motivated and it is good to see their leadership on the court,” Hite said.

The team received a boost from sophomore Kimberly Anderson, notching two kills, six blocks (team high) with one ace block and three ace serves (team high).

“Kimberly has much to offer,” Hite said. “She is still working on putting it all

together with her serving and aggressive net play.”

Claire Maaliao had one kill and two assists while Jessica Klingelhoefer ended the night with four assists.

The team is progressing and Hite noted that had the team

not had five serving errors, the game against St. Patrick’s would have been closer.

“I liked their speed on the court,” Hite said. “The differ-ence between the first and last set was their enthusiasm. We made some great plays.”

Hite explained the team has a vision and will not stray from that vision.

“We know what we have to do to get better and we will strive for those goals before our next match,” Hite said. “We will get better.”

Before the cooler temperatures over the weekend settled in, the Perkins County cross country team participated at the Goodland (Kan.) cross country invite on Sept. 4.

PCS head cross country coach Paula Wurst feels the Good-land invite is a good way to start the season.

“Goodland is always a good competitive race,” Wurst said. “Perkins County is one of the smallest schools there, so the competition is pretty intense.”

The shorter distance (four kilometers in Kansas, not five as in Nebraska) gives the students a good workout at the start of the season in Wurst’s opinion.

“We always hope for our fourth runner to be within two min-utes or less of our first runner, this gives us a tight pack, which is important for scoring well in later races,” Wurst explained. “Kendra (Hoffert) was within two minutes of Emily (Kemling), which is where we want to be.”

The Perkins County girls squad finished fourth with 59 team points while Scott City won with 22 team points. The boys squad was sixth with 178 team points. The host-team Goodland won the boys title with 41 team points.

Girls division

Leading the Lady Plainsmen was Emily Kemling, finishing fifth overall with a time of 17:49. Mariah Curtis finished 16th with a time of 19:44 for PCS while Kendra Hoffert was close behind her teammate with a time of 19:58 and 18th place.

Samantha Snogren ended the meet with a time of 26:08 and finished 28th.

boys division

Leading the boys was Tomarcus Hutcheson with a time of 23:35 and a 32nd place finish. Tyler Thelander was close behind Hutcheson with a 33rd place finish and a time of 23:52. Chris Terry had a 36th place for the Plainsmen with a time of 24:11 while Sam Rowley was 38th (24:52).

Coy Aerni finished in 39th place (25:03) and Robi Grothman was 40th (25:05) with Shane Ourada placing 41st (25:20).

Kenyon Gaar was 11th in the JV division with a time of 27:26.The race was a good indicator for the future of Plainsmen

boys’ cross country to have the first three finishers be freshmen (Hutcheson, Terry) and a sophomore (Thelander).

“I thought that these three boys competed very well. The rest of the boys team got a feeling of where their conditioning is at, the first meet is always a good measuring stick for what we need to focus on for the rest of the season,” Wurst said.

The team heads to Chase County today (Sept. 11).“I don’t look for them to struggle much. These girls are tough.

Chase County should also be a good measurement of the boys’ continuing conditioning. I look for their times to improve over-all,” Wurst concluded.

Wildcats crush Knights by 46 pointsby ladonna swedberg

contributing writer

The Wallace Wildcats opened their 2014 football season with a picture perfect beginning as they defeated South Platte 58-12.

Wallace started their open-ing drive with great field posi-tion as they lined up on the South Platte 30 yard line. Josh May scampered 14 yards on the first play but the Knight defense came up a couple of big plays and had the Cats fac-ing a fourth and 13.

Jacob Melton was planning to pass the ball to get a first down but with the Knights defense closing in, Melton was forced to run the ball. Not only did he get a first down, he went 18 yards for the Wild-cats first touch down. Wallace took a quick 8-0 lead.

South Platte was quick to respond with a touchdown of their own. The Knights were unsuccessful at the 2-point conversion so Wallace held on to a slim 8-6 lead.

Both teams stumbled on their next possessions.

Following the punt, the Wildcats started their drive

on their 16 yard line. Josh May got things rolling

with a big 20 yard run right up the middle. A couple of plays later, Melton got loose down the sideline for a 23 yard gain. He completed the drive by following his blockers for a five-yard touchdown run.

With an incomplete pass on the 2-point conversion, the score stood at 14-6 with :45 remaining in the first quarter.

As the second quarter got underway, the Wallace defense came up big when Bi Gatobu caused a fumble when he sacked the Knights QB and Jeff Harms was quick to get on the loose ball.

The Wildcats took posses-sion of the ball on the South Platte 28 yard line.

On a first and goal at the 8 yard line, Josh May came up with a huge block to allow Melton to cross the goal line once again for another Wild-cat TD.

The Cats took a 22-6 lead.The Cats added another

score when Andrew Gardner was able to push his way across the goal line.

Wallace went in at half time with a 30-6 lead.

The Cats contin-ued to roll in the second half.

The Wildcats extended their lead, 36-6.

South Platte scored a TD and the score was 36-12.

The Cats had the ball at their own 39 yard line and it was there that Josh May broke loose for a 41 yard touch down run.

Wallace extended their lead to 44-12.

Melton went the final two yards for his fourth touch-down and gave Wal-lace a 52-12 lead.

Patriot Day8 Grant tribune Sentinel thurSday, Sept. 11, 2014

Commemorative holiday helps rejuvenate American spiritWhat do people do?

On the direction of the Presi-dent, the flag of the United States of America should be displayed on the homes of Americans, the White House and all United States govern-ment buildings in the whole world.

The flag should be flown at half-mast as a mark of respect to those who died on September 11, 2001. Many people observe a moment of silence at 8:46 AM (Eastern Day-light Time).

This marks the time that the first plane flew into the World Trade Center. Some communities, particularly in the areas directly affected by the attacks, hold special church services or prayer meetings. People who personally experienced the events in 2001 or lost loved ones in them, may lay flowers or visit memorials.

public life

Patriot Day is not a federal holiday and schools and businesses

do not close. Public transit systems run on their regular schedules. Some people and organizations may take some time out to hold prayers for the victims of the attacks, but these do not usually affect public life for more than a few minutes.

background

On September 11, 2001, four planes were hijacked. The hijackers then deliberately flew three of the planes into two important build-ings, the Pentagon in Washington DC and the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York.

The fourth crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The loss of life and damage that these hijackings caused form the biggest act of terrorism ever on United States soil. Nearly 3000 people died in the attacks and the economic impact was immense.

The attacks have greatly increased attention to national se-curity in the United States. This has

had huge implications for United States national and international politics. This is particularly true for the relationships between the United States and Islamic countries in the Middle East.

SymbolS

The most potent symbol of the events that happened on September 11, 2001 are pictures and videos of planes flying into buildings, of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center engulfed in smoke and later collapsing and of people falling from buildings. Pictures taken of damaged buildings and relatives looking for loved ones in the days and weeks after the attacks are also often shown. The flag of the United States is often displayed around im-ages of the events on September 11, 2001. This is to remind Americans that their country remained strong in the face of massive terrorist attacks.

Livestock producers urged to enroll in disaster assistance program by Oct. 1

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is encour-aging producers who have suf-fered eligible disaster-related losses to act to secure assis-tance by Sept. 30, as congres-sionally mandated payment reductions will take place for producers who have not acted before that date.

Livestock producers that have experienced grazing losses since October 2011 and may be eligible for benefits but have not yet contacted their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office should do so as soon as possible.

The Budget Control Act passed by Congress in 2011 requires USDA to implement reductions of 7.3 percent to the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) in the new fis-cal year, which begins Oct. 1.

However, producers seek-ing LFP support who have scheduled appointments with their local FSA office before Oct. 1, even if the appointment

occurs after Oct.1, will not see reductions in the amount of disaster relief they receive.

USDA is encouraging producers to register, request an appointment or begin a Livestock Forage Disaster Pro-gram application with their county FSA office before Oct. 1, to lock in the current zero percent sequestration rate.

As an additional aid to qualified producers applying for LFP, the Farm Service’s Agency has developed an on-line registration that enables farmers and ranchers to put their names on an electronic list before the deadline to avoid reductions in their disaster assistance.

This is an alternative to visiting or contacting the county office. To place a name on the Livestock Forage Disaster Program list online, visit http://www.fsa.usda.gov/disaster-register.

Producers who already con-tacted the county office and have an appointment sched-uled need do nothing more.

“In just four months since disaster assistance enroll-ments began, we’ve processed 240,000 applications to help farmers and ranchers who suf-fered losses,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

The Livestock Indemnity Program, the Tree Assistance Program and the Noninsured Disaster Assistance Program Frost Freeze payments will also be cut by 7.3 percent on Oct. 1. Unlike the Livestock Forage Disaster Program, ap-plications for these programs must be fully completed by Sept. 30.

FSA offices will prioritize these applications, but as the full application process can take several days or more to complete, producers are encouraged to begin the ap-

plication process as soon as possible.

The Livestock Forage Disas-ter Program compensates eli-gible livestock producers who suffered grazing losses due to drought or fire between Oct. 1, 2011 and Dec. 31, 2014. Eligible livestock includes alpacas, beef cattle, buffalo, beefalo, dairy cattle, deer, elk, emus, equine, goats, llamas, poultry, reindeer, sheep or swine that have been or would have been grazing the eligible grazing land or pastureland. Produc-ers forced to liquidate their livestock may also be eligible for program benefits.

Additionally, the 2014 Farm Bill eliminated the risk man-agement purchase require-ment.

Livestock producers are no longer required to purchase coverage under the federal crop insurance program or Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program to be eligible for Livestock Forage Disaster Program assistance.

To learn more about USDA disaster relief program,

www. granttribune.com/photo file photo | tribune Sentinel 2014Livestock producers suffering grazing loses due to drought or fire may

producers can review the 2014 Farm Bill fact sheet at www.fsa.usda.gov/farmbill, the LFP program fact sheet, http://go.usa.gov/5JTk, or contact their local FSA office.

The Livestock Forage Disaster Program was made possible through the 2014 Farm Bill, which builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past five years, while achieving meaningful reform and bil-lions of dollars in savings for the taxpayer.

Since enactment, USDA has made significant progress to implement each provision of this critical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk manage-ment tools; expanding access to rural credit; developing new markets for rural-made products; and investing in infrastructure, housing and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America.

For more information, visit www.usda.gov/farmbill.

American Red Cross is calling for nominations for the Heroes Game

Who’s your Hero? Do you know someone who

has performed an extraordi-nary act of courage or dedicat-ed countless hours to a special cause?

We are looking for the com-mon citizens, the unheralded and unselfish pillars of our community.

A hero from both Iowa and Nebraska will be honored

before a crowd at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, IA when the Iowa Hawkeyes and Nebraska Cornhuskers play the Heroes Game presented by Hy-Vee on Friday, November 28, 2014.

Go to www.hy-vee.com or visit your local Hy-Vee Store to nominate your hero today.

“There are heroes walk-ing among us every day—the people who put others above themselves—and it is our plea-sure to work with Hy-Vee, the University of Nebraska and the University of Iowa again to recognize Heroes across Iowa and Nebraska,” said Tina Labellarte, Region Executive of the American Red Cross Nebraska/SW Iowa Region.

A hero must be at least 18 years of age and live, work or go to school in either Iowa or Nebraska; however, the act of heroism or good deed need not have occurred in either state.

One person from both Iowa and Nebraska will be selected to represent each state at the Hy-Vee Heroes Game on

Friday, Nov. 28 in Iowa City, IA, receive four tickets to the Iowa versus Nebraska NCAA football game and have their name and hometown inscribed on the Heroes Game trophy.

Nominations will be taken Sept. 6 – Oct. 14, 2014.

Nomination forms, rules, and further information can be found online at www.hy-vee.com or may be picked up at local Nebraska and Iowa Hy-Vee stores.

Hero nominations not select-ed for the Heroes Game will be considered for recognition at the Annual American Red Cross Heroes of the Heartland events in selected Nebraska and Iowa cities and towns in 2014.

Nominations may be filled out online or mailed to the American Red Cross Omaha office, 2912 S. 80th Ave., Omaha, NE 68124, or faxed to (402) 343-7777 by midnight on October 14, 2014.

Last year’s Heroes:Caleb Amundson, Fairbury,

Neb. 19-year old Caleb Amund-son was at Harlan County Lake in Central Nebraska on Labor Day to enjoy an after-noon of jet skiing and fishing.

Little did the young man (who volunteers as a fire-fighter in rural Fairbury) know that this year’s holiday celebration would include sav-ing a life.

While at the boat ramp load-ing his jet ski onto his pickup truck, Caleb saw a nearby boater attempting to launch. Suddenly, the neighboring vehicle’s brakes gave way, plunging the pontoon, truck and driver into the water.

Recognizing quickly that the driver was not surfacing, Ca-leb dove into the murky lake.

Unable to see, Caleb focused on feeling for the truck’s mirror when he made contact with the submerged driver’s arm and pulled the man to safety.

‘There are heroes walking among us

every day, the people who put others above

themselves...” Tina Labellarte
