Throughout the month of October, the Pink Out Committee sponsored 50-50 raffles during sporting events, raffled off a va-riety of gift baskets during Homecoming activities, provided the opportunity for students to make donations along with the sale of T-shirts and a Pink Out 5K held on Saturday, October 18th. Dawn Pappas of Hair We Go, showed her support by applying pink hair

extensions during the Junior Class Chili Feed and donated all the proceeds raised to the Pink Out Committee.

From these efforts of the Bridgeport students and staff along with the community members, the school has raised an additional $1,000 for the Festival of Hope with more continuing to come in.

The Festival of Hope is an organization that works to assist those families who have a loved one going through cancer treat-ment. Funds that are donated to the Festival of Hope are used to support these families with everyday living expenses while going through these lengthy treatments.

Carol Diffendaffer, Liaison Festival of Hope, indicated that the funds raised through the efforts of the BHS Pink Out commit-tee along with the staff and community members will be used to provide additional help to local cancer pa-tients living in Morrill County.

Mark Livingston, husband of the late Brandi Livingston, indicat-ed how proud Brandi would have been of these donations. Following the Bridgeport Booster Clubs donation to the Festival of Hope, Mark shared that Brandi was a huge supporter of the Festival of Hope be-cause the funds went directly to those struggling with cancer to help with living expenses while they go through the treatments.

Along with showing their support of all cancer patients through these fund raising activities, the Bridgeport students and staff wore T-shirts with the theme Conquer printed across the back during the large group photo taken on Friday afternoon, in which

Kevin MyersThe Leyton Lady Warriors won their ninth consecu-

tive Minuteman Athletic Conference volleyball champi-onship as they defeated the Creek Valley Lady Storm in two sets on Saturday, October 18th in Chappell.

After falling behind 4-2 during the early moments of the title match, the Lady Warriors put together a 12-3 run to take control of the first set. The run was sparked by a kill block by Diedra Waite and Dani McKay kept things going as she recorded three kills. Shaela Jenkins added one kill as Leyton built a 14-7 lead.

Creek Valley battled back, trimming Leyton’s lead

to 15-10, however, McKay’s fourth kill of the set end-ed the comeback and helped the Lady Warriors roll to the 25-13 win.

Leading one set to none, the Lady Warriors jumped out to a 6-3 lead in the second set as Kaitlyn Berner, Jen-kins, Kristine Barnett and McKay all recorded kills dur-ing the early run. However, the Lady Storm went on an 8-5 run to tie the score up at 11-11.

A block by Creek Valley’s Jessie Straber and two kills by Jill Behrends helped the Lady Storm build a 16-12 lead midway through the set, but kills by Jenkins and Waite enabled the Lady Warriors to claw their way back to tie the set at 16-16.

A vis i t to our nuclear labsSenator Deb Fischer

Nebraskans appreciate the importance of maintaining our nation’s nuclear deterrent. With the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) based in Bellevue, we have a unique perspective on the importance of this national security mission. The men and women who work at STRATCOM ensure a secure and effective deterrent while pursuing a broader, coopera-tive strategy to confront global threats. While STRATCOM’s role is critical, it is one piece of a much larger nuclear enterprise.

I’m fortunate to serve as a member of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Stra-tegic Forces, which has over-sight of our country’s nuclear weapons. As part of our com-mittee work, Senator Angus King (I-Maine) and I recently travelled to Los Alamos Na-tional Laboratory, Sandia Na-tional Laboratory, and Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. I also traveled to California to visit the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Senator King and I toured the nuclear weapons complex, met with leaders and scientists, expressed our gratitude to the workforce for their important contributions, and gained a bet-ter understanding of the issues and challenges associated with our responsibilities on the Stra-tegic Forces Subcommittee.

Our national laboratories are responsible for maintain-

ing a safe, secure, and effective nuclear deterrent for the Unit-ed States and for other science-related functions in support of U.S. national security interests. The labs we visited comprise the scientific backbone of our nuclear deterrent.

Collectively, the labs main-tain our aging nuclear stock-pile and perform cutting edge-science to improve our understanding of how nuclear weapons operate. The men and women at these labs do ex-traordinary work with limited resources and dated technol-ogy. At each laboratory, we dis-cussed how science is used to ensure that aging weapons will perform the way we need them to, if they’re ever called upon.

This is an extremely com-plex task, and at each facil-ity we saw unique capabili-ties. For example, we toured the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Lab. This facility uti-lizes a large laser, which focus-es immense heat and pressure to simulate in a laboratory what happens in the core of a nuclear explosion so that sci-entists can better understand the dynamics of an explosion.

Our nuclear labs also per-form surveillance work, which involves taking weapons back to the labs, disassembling them and inspecting their compo-nents. They may find rust or other corrosion, or even com-ponent failure. The labs then use their scientific understand-

ing to predict whether that will impact the way the weapon functions. They’re also con-ducting life extension programs for our oldest weapons, where they rebuild weapons that have aged to an unacceptable point.

It is almost impossible to overstate the importance and difficulty of this task. We haven’t tested nuclear weapons since the early 1990s and we haven’t built a new weapon since the late 1980s. Our laboratories ensure these aging weapons– which were never designed to last this long–continue to func-tion without testing.

The labs also have enor-mous insight into the nuclear programs of other countries. We repeatedly discussed how U.S. stockpile work differs from that of our allies and our adver-saries around the world. While attention to our own nuclear weapons diminishes, rival na-tions like Russia and China are investing heavily in upgrading their own technology.

While the president commit-ted to modernize our deterrent in 2011, we’ve fallen short of that objective. This year, we’ve heard strong statements–par-ticularly from Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel–about how we must follow through with our modernization plans. I agree and intend to work with my col-leagues from both sides of the aisle to ensure needed resources are available for this critical na-tional security priority.

I’m thankful for the chance to visit these unique facilities and the exceptional employ-ees who work to maintain the nuclear weapons that STRAT-COM relies on to defend our nation. Nuclear deterrence remains the ultimate safe-guard for American security and it would not be possible without the hardworking men and women who make up our nuclear enterprise.

Ca p i to l Vi e wHang on, there’s an election in just a couple

weeksRemember when (what now

seems like ages ago) I suggest-ed that you keep track of the Nebraska Primary Elections by using a large sheet of paper, a pencil and an eraser to write the names of the gubernato-rial and senate candidates and keep track of them?

That list is likely as tat-tered and torn as the primary itself. But Omaha millionaire, Republican Pete Ricketts, emerged as the Republican winner and Lyons rural activ-ist and former University of Nebraska Regent, Chuck Has-sebrook, won the uncontested Democratic race. The two men, and Libertarian Mark G. Elworth, Jr. of Omaha, are on the November 4 ballot. Hassebrook is running with Lincoln businesswoman Jane Raybould (think grocery store chains Russ’s Market and Su-per Saver) as the lieutenant governor candidate and El-worth is running with Scott Zimmerman of Omaha.

Ricketts is running with his second choice for lieuten-ant governor after incumbent Lt. Gov. Lavon Heidemann stepped down when a judge issued a restraining order against him on behalf of his sister and he resigned his state post and dropped off the Rick-etts’ ticket. Ricketts went to the pool of five vanquished Re-publican gubernatorial nomi-nees and picked the fourth place finisher, State Auditor Mike Foley. Nobody saw that one coming.

Elworth filed suit to pro-hibit Secretary of State John Gale from taking Heidemann’s

name off the ballot and replac-ing it with Foley’s. Elworth argued that the deadline to change the ballot had passed. Gale argued, and the court agreed, that having the correct names on the ballot was more important.

Then there’s the race for the U.S. Senate seat being va-cated by former Lincoln mayor turned governor turned U.S. Agriculture Secretary then U.S. Senator Mike Johanns. Ben Sasse, the young and charis-matic president of Midland Col-lege in Fremont, won the Re-publican nod to face seasoned attorney and veteran Demo-crat, David Domina of Omaha. Independents Jim Jenkins of Callaway and Todd F. Watkins of Lincoln petitioned their way onto the ballot.

Jenkins, a Sandhills cattle rancher turned big city busi-nessman and Nebraska restau-rantpreneur (think Whiskey Creek steakhouses and Skeeter Barnes BBQ) won the endorse-ment of the Lincoln Journal Star, a newspaper better known for supporting Democrats.

Speaking of endorsements, the Omaha World-Herald, more often prone to endors-ing conservative Republicans, gave its editorial nod to Demo-crat Brad Ashford in his race against longtime Republican incumbent Second District Congressman Lee Terry. Lib-ertarian Steven Laird of Oma-ha is also in that race. Ashford, an Independent during his last session as a state senator, switched to the Democratic Party to challenge Terry.

Gov. Dave Heineman tried

to insert himself in that race by criticizing Ashford and leg-islative colleague Sen. Steve Lathrop for being supporters of a good time law, which al-lows Nebraska prison inmates to earn a one-day sentence re-duction for every day of good conduct. Heineman says that situation led to the release of an inmate from Omaha who killed four people within days of his release. Lathrop is lead-ing a special legislative com-mittee that is investigating mistakes by prison administra-tors that led to the early release of several hundred inmates be-cause officials ignored Nebras-ka Supreme Court opinions on sentencing guidelines. Lathrop called Heineman’s assertions political rhetoric.

Incumbent First District Congressman Jeff Fortenberry faces off against Lincoln attor-ney Dennis Crawford, a Demo-crat. Incumbent Third District Congressman Adrian Smith of Gering faces a challenge from Mark Sullivan of Doniphan.

Nebraska voters will also cast ballots in the races for state Auditor, Attorney Gener-al, Secretary of State and Trea-surer. There are 24 legislative seats open as well as slots on the state Board of Education, the University of Nebraska Board of Regents, a number of community college boards and natural resources districts.

Whoever you like in all these races, keep one thing in mind. Your vote counts, so get out there and cast it.

Stopping the latest feder al power gr abRep. Adrian Smith

While Congress has been out of session, I have spent the last few weeks traveling Ne-braska’s Third District meeting with constituents and listening to your thoughts, concerns, and ideas.

One of the issues I have heard most about is the Waters of the United States (WOTUS). This proposal would allow the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers to expand federal regulatory powers over waters of the U.S. under the Clean Water Act.

The word “navigable” was included in the Clean Water Act more than 80 times in order to limit the jurisdiction of the federal government on farms, ranches, man-made conveyances, and other local

water jurisdictions. Attempts to alter this interpretation without Congressional ap-proval are a clear overreach of statutory authority and clear-ly defy the intent of the law. Further, this change could severely harm Nebraska’s ag-riculture economy.

Common Sense Nebraska, a coalition of Nebraska orga-nizations which have come together in response to the WOTUS proposal released a report this week detailing the many problems this rule would cause for our state. The report was compiled by for-mer director of the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ) Mike Linder and indicates the rule would increase costs and uncertainty for agriculture producers.

Linder’s analysis confirms the proposal would “impose

a blanket jurisdictional de-termination over thousands of acres of private property” causing “unnecessary prop-erty restrictions and uncer-tainty as to what that actually means to a farmer or ranch-er.” This finding refutes the EPA’s claims the rule would not have much effect on farm-ers and ranchers.

As beneficiaries of clean water, Nebraska producers take numerous steps to pro-tect the natural resources of our state. We all agree safe-guards are necessary, but this proposed rule ignores safeguards already in place, and steps NDEQ has taken to work with producers to pro-tect our water.

I have written the EPA and Army Corps to express my ob-jections to this plan, and many Nebraskans are speaking out as well. The EPA recently an-nounced it would extend the comment period until Novem-ber 14, 2014. While this delay is a positive development, I question their motive of mov-ing the deadline for comments on this economically disas-trous rule until after the mid-term elections.

I encourage all interested Nebraskans to continue making their voices heard on this rule at: http://www.regulations.gov. We have fought this over-reach before, and we must con-tinue to let the EPA and other agencies know where we stand.

Ghosts, goblins and good senseGovernor Dave Heineman

Dear Fellow Nebraskans:One of America’s favorite

childhood holidays, Halloween, is quickly approaching. Many Nebraska children will dress up in funny or scary costumes and go trick-or-treating. Most adults enjoy the thought of children getting dressed up and walking the neighborhood, barely able to contain their excitement. From the candy to the costumes, Hal-loween is a fun-filled time for kids and parents alike.

Because Halloween falls on a Friday this year, it’s likely that more trick-or-treaters will be on the streets than other nights. Unfortunately, children determined to collect mountains of candy may not have their safety uppermost in mind as they prowl dark streets in their frightening frocks. It’s up to the grown-ups to take measures to protect them.

For drivers that means, first and foremost, slowing down on neighborhood streets. Chil-dren are four times more likely to be hit by a car on Halloween

than any other night of the year, when little vampires and zom-bies dressed in dark clothing may be hard to see. I strongly urge parents and caregivers to make sure children going trick-or-treating walk safely and stay visible to drivers.

Masks, which can obstruct vision, can blind children to on-coming cars or obstacles in their path. Face make-up is a much safer option, but only the kind that won’t irritate the skin, is easily removed and carries the U.S. Food and Drug Adminis-tration’s approval, especially for use near the eyes. This is a duty, too, that falls to parents.

Keep in mind that Halloween costumes can prove harmful to youngsters. If their costumes are too long, the kids may trip and fall. If they’re not made of fire-resistant materials, the out-come could be far more tragic, so make sure both costumes and accessories like masks, beards and wigs won’t catch fire.

Youngsters should be in-structed to walk, and not run, between the houses they visit and to avoid walking across

front yards where ornaments or landscaping might cause them to trip and fall. Another important tip is not to run out from between parked cars.

I want to point out that children should never enter a house unless accompanied by an adult. Also, they should visit only homes where a wel-coming porch light is on.

Though it’s been years since reports about adulterated Hal-loween treats raised fears in parents, it’s never possible to know what’s in the hearts of the people our kids visit. Par-ents should caution their kids not to eat any of the goodies they collect until mom and dad have first had the chance to in-spect them. That goes double for homemade treats.

If Nebraskans follow these basic steps, as well as using common sense with anything that springs from your own Halloween experiences, we can be sure that our little trick-or-treaters have a happy, if mis-chievous, Halloween this year. That’s something that will be a treat for us all.

Ten minutes later, David, Shawn and Dad drove into the yard and without any hesitation; they told my husband that they

would change our tire! Within fifteen minutes, they exempli-fied Warmth, Friendliness, and a Neighborly Spirit that we will Never Forget!

We would be extremely happy if your newspaper rec-

ognized these wonderful peo-ple who became “Angels” to us! Broadwater may be a small town, but they can boast to having the very biggest hearts!

A war for showRich Lowry

Compared with President Barack Obama, even Jimmy Carter is John McCain.

The former president practically synonymous with American weakness and re-treat thinks Obama was too slow to act against ISIS and gives his current strategy only “a possibility of success,” pro-vided it involves (unspecified) ground troops.

When you are too passive for Jimmy Carter, it’s time for some soul-searching in the Sit-uation Room. The late-1970s are calling and want their for-eign policy back.

The war against ISIS so far is desultory and occasional, a campaign of underwhelming force. ISIS has still been on the verge of taking the Syrian town of Khobani, abutting the Turk-ish border, and on the offen-sive in Iraq. The erstwhile JV team is defying all the military might that the world’s lone su-perpower is willing to muster.

There has been renewed talk of how, as former Secre-tary of Defense Leon Panetta put it the other day, the fight against terrorism will be a 30-year war. At this rate, it will be a generational struggle merely

to get ISIS out of Mosul.To this point, almost ev-

erything has lent credence to the skeptical interpretation of Obama’s war: That in reaction to a spectacular media event (the horrific ISIS beheadings), the president staged his own media event, an inconsequen-tial bombing campaign accom-panied by a tough-sounding, prime-time speech.

The experience of the surge in Afghanistan, the red-line fiasco and now this sug-gest that Obama is a hawk precisely to the extent he feels the politics don’t allow him to wiggle out of it.

His talk of Afghanistan as the good war in the 2008 cam-paign was too fresh for him to countenance an immedi-ate defeat. So he ordered the surge and tried never to speak of it again, and now wants to completely liquidate our mili-tary presence on the failed model of Iraq.

He had seemed determined to strike Syria after Bashar Assad used chemical weapons last year, then found a way to crab-walk away from his own earnest warnings.

The war against ISIS hap-pens to be just enough to pla-cate the public’s hawkish mood

without getting too far out in front or taking actions that will fully commit the president.

The Powell Doctrine is to use maximum military power to achieve a clear objective; the Obama Doctrine evidently is to use minimal military power to create a vague impression. Message: I care about defeat-ing ISIS, for now.

The anti-ISIS campaign is a brilliant tactical success, in the sense that we are hitting what we target. But it is a stra-tegic nullity.

It is too small to make much of a difference, and there are limits to how much can be done exclusively from the air anyway. We can bomb fixed targets, and perhaps tanks and large troop movements. The problem is that ISIS is a guerrilla force not highly vul-nerable from the air, and it becomes even less so once it is entrenched in cities.

It caused a minor furor when Obama said a few weeks ago that he didn’t have a strat-egy against ISIS yet. The scan-dal is that, with American planes dropping bombs in two countries, he still doesn’t.

NCTA to host PRCA youth rodeo camp March 29th

Youth ages 8 and up are welcome to try their hand at a rodeo camp on Saturday, March 29th at the University of Nebraska-Nebraska Col-lege of Technical Agriculture (NCTA) in Curtis.

“The NCTA Rodeo Team looks forward to hosting the Buf-falo Bill Rodeo Com-mittee (North Platte) and this rodeo camp under the auspices of the Pro-fessional Rodeo Cowboys As-sociation (PRCA),” says Bridger Chytka, NCTA Aggies Rodeo Team coach and assistant pro-fessor of animal science.

The 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. rodeo camp is free to students who pre-register on-line at: htp://www.prorodeo.com/youthrodeo.aspx

“The day camp ofers in-structon in bareback, saddle bronc and bull riding,” said Chytka. The youth will learn about safety techniques and chute procedures, the correct spurring moves, have their riding equipment checked or repaired, and work with rodeo pickup men.

“This type of camp expe-

rience is greatly benefcial to young athletes who are just startng in rodeo,” says Chyt-ka, a Hemingford natve who has competed in calf roping

since he was in el-ementary school. He is completng his firs year as the NCTA ro-deo coach, and also teaches animal sci-ence, range manage-ment and livestock classes.

Professional rodeo compet-tors for the camp will include DustinElliot of North Plate, a PRCA champion bull rider and others yet to be named. Bufalo Bill Rodeo Committe Chair-man Jack Morris of North Plate credits opportunites like the day camp for getting young-sters involved in the sport of rodeo and teaching them in a safe environment with athletes riding mechanical stock, not live animals turned out from the chutes.

In addition to PRCA Pro-Rodeo and the Buffalo Bill Ro-deo Committee, local sponsor with NCTA is Titan Machinery of McCook, North Platte and Lexington.

National Teen Driver Safety Week October 19-25Parents are key to keeping

teen drivers safe Many par-ents don’t realize it, but the #1 threat to their teen’s safety is driving or riding in a car with a teen driver. Every year about 3,000 teens lose their lives in car crashes. The main cause? Driver inexperience. Parents play a key role in keeping teens safe on the road.

Parents who are involved with their teen driver in a sup-portive way can lower their teen’s crash risk by 50 percent. Teens with involved parents are also twice as likely to use their

seat belt, 70 percent less likely to drink and drive, half as likely to speed, 30 percent less likely to use a cell phone while driving and significantly less likely to drive with multiple passengers.

Use these proven tools to use to keep teens safe behind the wheel.

•Practice. Practice. Prac-tice. Driver inexperience is one of the biggest factors in car crashes. The risk is highest in the first year drivers have their license. Experience truly is the key to safer driving. It is recom-mended that adults ride with teens for at least 30-50 hours.

•Put the brakes on passen-gers. The risk of crashing goes up when teens ride with other teens. In Nebraska the first six months that a teen driver holds a Provisional Operator Permit, they may not drive with more than one passenger that is un-

der the age of 19 who is not an immediate family member.

•Watch the clock. Fatal crashes for every age group are more likely to happen after the sun has gone down. Make sure teen drivers are off the road at night. (It is recommended that for the first six months that they do not drive alone af-ter 9 p.m.) Be sure to practice nighttime driving with teens.

•Buckle up! Make buckling up a family rule that is simply not broken. With seatbelt use, the risk of dying or being badly injured in a crash is cut in half. Stress the importance of al-ways buckling as both a driver and a passenger. Buckling up saves lives.

•Do not text and drive—Ever. Texting while driving takes your hands off the wheel, eyes of the road and mind off of driving. Distractions increase the risk of crashes, injury and death. Set an example. Put your phone away when you are behind the wheel.

•Get enough sleep. Drowsy drivers cause thousands of crashes every year. Young driv-ers are at high risk. If your teen is worn out, don’t let them drive.

•S-L-O-W Down. Driving too fast in general and driv-ing too fast for poor road or weather conditions—regardless of what the speed limit is—are two important ones. Tailgating, failure to use turn signals, and being distracted are among sev-eral other common risky habits that lead to crashes.

•Set a great example. Teens watch everything you do. Set a good example every time you get behind the wheel. Always buckle up, never drive im-paired, never drive distract-ed, drive the speed limit, and drive safely.

Remember Parents Are the Key to safe teen driving. Don’t just talk about safe driving; set your families own driving rules and get your teen to agree to them in writing through a Par-ent-Teen Driving Agreement.

Zombies to shuffle at dusk on Saturday

The 2nd annual Zombie Shuffle 5K Run/Walk is coming this Saturday, October 25th at 6:00 p.m. Participants will try to get through the route with both of their flags (i.e. brains) still at-tached.

Pa s to r’s Co lu m nPastor Allen Strawn, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church

In holy love, the Lord Jesus sanctifies us by the Gospel of His cross

Plotting against Jesus, the Pharisees attempted “to en-tangle him in his words” by asking about the payment of taxes to Caesar (Matt. 22:15). The Lord pointed to coins re-quired for the tax, and He an-swered that we should “ren-der to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s” (Matt. 22:21). But if coins bearing the image of Caesar should be rendered to him, then man— who is made in the image of God—must be rendered to the Lord. That tax is paid for us by the Lord Jesus, the im-

age of God in the flesh, by His self-offering on the cross. And from His cross, as the Lord’s anointed, He reigns as the true Caesar over all nations “from the rising of the sun and from the west” (Is. 45:6). The Lord once called and anoint-ed Cyrus “to subdue nations before him and to loose the belts of kings” (Is. 45:1). Now by the preaching of the Gos-pel, “in power and in the Holy Spirit” (1 Thess. 1:5), foreign-ers from all over the world are “turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God” (1 Thess. 1:9–10).

No-Ti l l NoT e s

“Rotat ions”Mark Watson, Panhan-dle No-till Educator

The final stop on our tour at the Dakota Lakes Research Farm; Pierre, South Dakota was a look at the dry land por-tion of the farm. I’ve always felt dry land farming is much more interesting than irrigated farm-ing. The ability to irrigate can mask some deficiencies in crop-ping rotation and soil health.

On dry land acres there is much less room for error. Proper management of crop rotations is critical to the suc-cess of a continuous no-till cropping system. Lack of car-bon inputs, lack of sufficient residues to protect the soil sur-face, poor crop diversity, and insufficient intervals between like crops can all have a detri-mental effect on how success-ful the system operates.

Properly managed rotations will build soil health which im-proves water infiltration, soil structure, microbial activity, and overall soil performance. These rotations will build soil health over time which will reward the continuous no till crop producer with improved profitability of their operation. Properly managed rotations will also help break up persis-tent weed and disease cycles leading to the production of healthier crops.

I visited with Dr. Dwayne Beck, manager of the Dakota Lakes Research Farm, about

his choice of crop rotations on his dry land acres. Dr. Beck was quick to point out that there is no standard rotation on their farm. The do have set rotations which they designed for their farm early in the de-velopment of the farm to study how rotations over long periods responded. Three rotations on their main farm have been in place since the beginning of the farm operation in 1990.

These rotations have been ongoing since that time and there is a lot of value in re-search conducted over this time period. Rotations lack-ing in carbon inputs began to lag behind rotations designed with higher carbon inputs over extended periods of time. I think it is imperative that ag-ricultural research be designed as a systems approach studied over long intervals. It is diffi-cult today to find research con-ducted over extended periods of time due to the way in which research is funded.

A few of my observations since I last visited Dakota Lakes Research Farm is the addition of a couple of crops into the cropping rotations. Dr. Beck is always looking for new crops which fit our grow-ing conditions for this region and match up well with good crop rotations.

Dr. Beck has incorporated more flax into his cropping ro-tations. Flax has been around for a long time and I think it is

used primarily as oil for crush-ing. Flax is a good fit for a cool season broadleaf in some crop rotations. Marketing of flax would be an obstacle for pro-ducers in our area.

Dr. Beck is also using flax as a cover crop following field peas. Flax is seeded shortly af-ter field pea harvest. The idea behind seeding the flax is to produce a cover crop prior to winter wheat seeding that will add ground cover and vertical structure to the field pea resi-due. Flax grows upright and produces an elongated firm stem which will aid in wind erosion control and provides the vertical structure need to catch snow over the winter months. Winter wheat is seed-ed through the growing flax.

Dr. Beck is also growing teff grass which is a C4 grass simi-lar to corn. The teff grass is grown for seed production and may be a good fit for our region. The teff grass seed is highly valuable and the possibility of producing it in our region as an alternative to dry land corn may be an option. I think there may be some grazing potential following seed harvest with teff grass. Marketing the harvested seed would be the challenge for producers in our area. Other obstacles such as crop insur-ance would also have to be taken into consideration. Next week I’ll take a look at some of Dr. Beck’s crop rotations on his dry land farm.

Major overhaul to North Platte NRD cost-share programAt the October Board meet-

ing, the Board of Directors of the North Platte Natural Resourc-es District (NRD) approved sweeping changes to their cost-share program. The programs are available to landowners in Banner, Garden, Morrill, Scotts Bluff and southern Sioux coun-ties for soil, water and range conservation improvements.

The biggest change is the switch to a continuous sign up period. Previously, sign-up was limited to two weeks in March, but in response to producer input, the Board ap-proved the continuous sign-up. The sign-up will begin on November 3rd, and applica-tion can be made at either the NRD offices or one of the three NRCS offices in Scottsbluff, Bridgeport, or Oshkosh. Ap-

plicants will fill out a question-naire in addition to the previ-ous year’s requirements.

Applications will be accepted until late February, when they will scored, ranked, and ulti-mately awarded based on rank-ings established by the staff and Board. The ranking system has replaced the “first-come first-served” approval process used previously The ranking system will allow the cost-share funds to be prioritized in a way that will help with the District’s ground water management goals. Cost-share rates will change to a uni-form 50 percent of actual cost, with a maximum amount of $3,000 per landowner.

Following the approval pro-cess, applications for the 2016 cost-share program will be ac-cepted. The 2016 applications

will be reviewed in February 2016, and process will start over again.

Landowners will have until June 1st to complete the proj-ect, and extensions will not be granted. Landowners will have to provide bills/cost verifica-tions, pictures, and map of fin-ished practice before the funds will distributed.

The Conservation Cost-Share Program reimburses cooperating landowners for a portion of the costs of installing conservation practices on their farm or ranch. Applicants must receive approval from the North Platte NRD General Manager before beginning work.

For more information and a complete list of cost-share practices, visit www.npnrd.org or call (308) 632-2749.

“Technology and Cow Herds” is one of the topics at Nebraska State of Beef ConferenceThe Nebraska Sandhills

will not be mistaken for Sili-con Valley, but technology is still important to Nebraska’s ranchers. And future profits will increasingly depend on producers’ use of new technol-ogies to track changes in pro-duction, a Uni-versity of Ne-braska-Lincoln scientist says.

Kelly Bruns, associate direc-tor at the UNL West Central Research and Extension Cen-ter at North Platte and Ex-tension Beef Specialist, will speak on “The Use of Tech-nology to Increase Cowherd and Feedlot Efficiency” at the first Nebraska State of Beef Conference at North Platte. The event will take place Nov. 4 and 5 at the Sandhills Con-vention Center.

Bruns will give an over-view of the benefits of various technologies, such as growth implants and various phar-maceutical advancements, that that the beef industry has incorporated, as well as their impact in beef production.

Producers have adapted a number of technologies in re-cent years and more are on the horizon, according to Bruns. Some of the new technologies will capture and track data generated in a beef system on hand-held devices.

He said the ability to use new technologies to track changes in production will greatly enhance a producer’s ability to decide which tech-

nologies to incorporate into production plans.

But he said producers will not need to be computer geeks or techno-nerds to under-stand and use these technolo-gies. Many of the technologies

used today have been easily adopted, as they fit well into producers’ production sched-ules and do not require addi-tional experience with com-puters to electronics.

A vast majority of produc-ers use technological advance-ments made by the industry, but some still do not incor-porate simple steps within their production plans which would improve their bottom line, according to Bruns. The UNL Beef Extension website at http://beef.unl.edu/ is a resource to learn about pro-duction steps that involve new and evolving technologies that will improve profits.

Is technology adoption necessary to stay competitive in the industry? Bruns said producers need to be aware of a trade-off they are making if they don’t use newer tech-nologies that increase produc-tion. They might choose to offset the loss of production

with a premium offered by the marketplace for not using the technology. But often these premiums are not enough to replace the lost production, according to Bruns.

Also, as prices hit historic highs for both feeder and fed cattle, pro-ducers might not see the ne-cessity of ad-vantages from technologies. But Bruns pointed out that the mar-ket is cycli-cal, and when prices return to a lower trend, the use

of technologies that improve ef-ficiency will aid producers in a competitive market.

The theme of the State of Beef Conference is “Rebuilding the Cow Herd.” It is being orga-nized by University of Nebras-ka-Lincoln Institute of Agricul-ture and Natural Resources.

Jack’s InsIghts—OctOber 2014Jack Whittier, Director, UNL Panhandle Exten-sion District

My insights this month be-gins with an observation I had this week: “The family is a key part of what we do at the Uni-versity of Nebraska.” Let me describe a couple of events that occurred this week that brought me to this realization. One recent afternoon I found myself at the back of a cattle-working facility, pushing cows up an alley and watching three generations of a family unit up ahead. They were not my fam-ily, but I was struck by what was occurring that extended well beyond simply working a bunch of cattle in the fall.

Here’s what I saw:Grandma was running the

clipboard and taking care of the record keeping. Grandpa was giving injections properly in each cow’s neck while tutoring 6-year-old grandson and 4-year-old granddaughter how to do this correctly. Grandpa was also teaching grandson and grand-daughter how to quietly move the cows up the alley into the chute, where the cows were re-strained to receive their preven-tative treatments before winter. Dad was running the head catch, checking ID tags and shouting out numbers to Grandma. Mom was administering a pour-on to eliminate parasites in and on each cow, plus Mom was over-seeing the entire operation to as-sure that cows, kids and her par-ents were safe and doing their jobs correctly.

It was well into late after-noon when the cows were finished and the calves were beginning to enter the alley in much the same way the cows had been processed earlier. Again, I was pushing the calves into the alley from a vantage point so as to witness the im-pact of this family working together to accomplish a task that played a big part of the

family’s livelihood.But, perhaps more impor-

tantly, I was watching the training, cooperation and love that was taking place in this family that evening. To add to the impact of what I was ob-serving, a large, bright, harvest full moon began to rise in the east. This struck me as a sign that all was well in that corner of the world.

This experience confirmed to me how important family units are, and added to other recent experiences in the Pan-handle District that further illustrated the importance of family to the University of Ne-braska and how its programs are designed to assist families.

Let me mention a couple of key programs administered by the University of Nebraska as a whole, and which have local spe-cialists and educators involved in efforts to help maintain fami-lies’ central role in society.

In my role as District Di-rector, I had the opportunity recently to sit in County Ex-tension Board meetings across the District and witness the passion of parents and com-munity members for 4-H. 4-H has been, and continues to be, a foundational component of the University of Nebraska. During my lifetime I have seen changes in society and I have also seen an evolution by 4-H to anticipate and meet the changing needs of youth and families. The fundamental principles in the 4-H pledge of head, heart, hands and health are as integral today as they were when the first youth 4-H club was formed in 1902.

As I look back over the many years since I was a 4-H mem-ber myself, I appreciate the mentoring I received from 4-H leaders and the involvement in my life of my parents and the parents of fellow 4-Hers. I also recall the communication skills I developed by doing 4-H dem-onstrations, the satisfaction

from the work involved to pre-pare animals for show, and the unity that came to our family as I worked alongside my siblings and parents on our 4-H proj-ects. It was a family affair.

Today Nebraska 4-H fo-cuses on six key areas called “Signature Outcomes:” 4-H Science, Animal Science, Ag-ricultural Literacy, Career De-velopment/College Readiness, Citizenship and Leadership, and Healthy Living. Each area recognizes the important role that 4-H plays in youth devel-opment and in families.

In addition to 4-H, there are other programs designed to support families. One exam-ple is the UNL Early Childhood Development program which, among other things, provides support to child care profes-sionals “….to enhance the ca-pacity of our communities to support the healthy growth, development and success of young children.” Another ex-ample is the Food, Nutrition and Health program led by Nebraska Extension that sup-ports family nutrition, fitness and healthy eating habits.

There are many other pro-grams and resources available through UNL Extension to support families, parents and youth. I invite you to contact us here at the Panhandle Re-search and Extension Center or within your local county extension office. I believe you will be surprised at the depth and breadth of what is avail-able to strengthen families.

I conclude by reflecting again on watching three gen-erations of family members work their cattle on a beautiful fall evening. This experience made me thankful for families in general, and in particular for my own family and for the privileges I have had during my career to work in organi-zations like the University of Nebraska that recognize the importance of families.

Updating yields and base acres under 2014 farm bill

Jessica Johnson; Robert Tigner; Tim Lemmon, Ex-tension Educators

Cropland owners will have an opportunity to reallocate base acres and update yields by Feb. 27, 2015, under the 2014 Farm Bill.

Updating Base AcresUpdating base acres will be

a critical decision. Landown-ers will have two choices. They can either retain the farm’s 2013 base acres or reallocate base acres based on plant-ing history from 2009-2012. Producers will not be able to increase base acres, only reas-sign current base acres to cov-ered commodities.

Many farms may find that their assigned program base doesn’t reflect their current plantinwg practices; for ex-ample, consider the farm dem-onstrated in the accompanying table. The current base is 100 acres of corn, 75 acres of wheat and 75 acres of soybeans for a total of 250 base acres. The table shows the historic plant-ings for 2009-2012, the overall average across the years, and the percentage of the total base acres planted to the respective crops. This percentage is then multiplied by the farm’s over-all assigned base.

Note that in 2009 and 2010, base acres were planted to a non-covered commodity – in this example, alfalfa. These acres are not counted towards the total historic planting. Only acres planted to a covered program commodity are con-sidered when calculating base reallocation. The equation be-low shows how the corn base re-allocation is calculated.

Corn: 125+125+100+125=475 total planted corn acres.

Total planted corn acres (475) divided by total planted base acres (950) equals 0.50.

0.50 multiplied by 2013 to-tal base acres (250) equals 125.

The landowner can main-tain the current base allocation or accept the recent planted history of 125 acre of corn, 28

acres of wheat, and 98 acres of soybeans.

When deciding whether to update or maintain base acres, the landowner will need com-pare both base acre scenarios against each commodity pro-gram, county Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC-CO), individ-ual Agricultural Risk Cover-age (ARC-IC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC), for each farm number. Two decision tools are available to help evaluate the farm programs. Links to these tools can be found on the UNL Farm Bill Website farm-bill.unl.edu.

Updating YieldLandowners will also have

the opportunity to update program payment yields for each commodity for which they have base acres, using current counter cyclical (CC) yields. Yields can be updated to reflect 90 percent of the farm’s 2008-2012 average yield per planted acre for each crop, excluding any year in which the covered commodity was not planted.

Even though a covered com-modity might not have been planted or prevented planted in a yeawr, that will not be used in the average calculation. If a farm’s actual yield falls below 75 percent of the county aver-age, a landowner will be able to substitute the farm’s low yield with a “substitute yield” or “plug-in yield” which is equal to 75 percent county average yield from 2008-2012.

Substitute yields are autho-rized to be used if:

•If the crop was planted on the farm in the crop year

•Crop yield is low due to di-saster

•Yield data is unavailable•If yield data is available

only for part of the crop grown on a farm, the substitute yield may be used on the acres miss-ing yield data

To make this clearer, let’s say a producer was consider-ing updating their yields. The substitute wheat yield for their county is 30.4 bushels per

acre. The producer reports the following yield information to their local FSA office:

2008–No yield data available2009–No wheat planted2010–40 bushels per acre2011–35 bushels per acre2012–15 bushels per acreIn 2008, the producer was

unable to provide yield data. Therefore the substitute yield of 30.4 bushels per acre would be used as the value for the 2008 yield. Because no wheat was planted by the producer in 2009, this year is not included in the average yield calcula-tion. The actual yields report-ed by the producer are used for 2010 and 2011 because they are above the substitute yield for the county.

However, the reported yield for 2012 is lower than the sub-stitute yield. Consequently the producer’s actual 2012 yield is replaced by the substitute yield of 30.4 bushels per acre. The four applicable yields, 30.4, 40, 35 and 30.4, are averaged together to obtain an updated yield of 33.95.

If this producer were to choose the PLC commodity program, the payment yield would be 90 percent of the up-dated yield calculated above, or 30.5 bushels per acre.

Yield updates only affect payments received from the PLC program under the cur-rent Farm Bill. However, this may be the only opportunity to update yields for several more years. Even if you are not considering PLC as your commodity program, the deci-sion to update yields may im-pact future commodity pay-ments, depending on future farm policy.

The decisions to be made in the next few months regarding commodity program selection are very complex and will last for the duration of this farm bill. Joint UNL Extension – FSA Farm Bill meetings will begin in mid to late October. For the latest information about the Farm Bill visit farm-bill.unl.edu.

Dutch oven cooking program at Wildcat HillsThose looking to take a tra-

ditional approach to cooking a delicious meal in the outdoors are encouraged to sign up for an upcoming program at Wild-cat Hills State Recreation Area of Gering.

Amanda Filipi, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission outdoor education specialist, will present the “Lovin’ Dutch Oven” program Saturday, Nov. 1, at 9 a.m. at the Nature Cen-ter. The deadline to register is Friday, October 24.

Filipi will demonstrate the age-old process of using Dutch ovens, cast iron pots with tight lids, to make meals and des-serts. The method, which is be-lieved to date back to the early

1700s in Holland, became a staple in the United States as European settlers moved

westward and is increasingly becoming a favorite tool of

campground cooks, Filipi said.After helping prep and cook

the meal, attendees will dine on the fruits of their labor. The cost is only $5 per person to cover the purchase of ingredi-ents. Participants are encour-aged to point out any special dietary needs upon registra-tion. Sign up by calling the Na-ture Center at 308-436-3777.

Vehicles entering Wild-cat Hills SRA are required to have a valid park entry per-mit, available from vendors throughout the state or online at outdoornebraska.org.

Since she is listed as a part-time officer with the state of Nebraska, the Police Depart-ment is limited to using Officer Murphy for only 35 hours per pay period.

That will enable the Police Department to utilize Officer Murphy for more hours. Under the current scheduling plan, Offi-cer Murphy will be used a maximum of 55 hours per pay period. In exchange for this, Officer Murphy would receive some city benefits: a 3% retirement match, paid holidays, and life insur-ance. She will not receive city health insurance benefits.

22. City Administrator Fellhoelter presented preliminary recommendations from the utilities’ rate study. This rate study was conducted by the Municipal Energy Agency of Nebraska (MEAN). The preliminary MEAN recommendation includes an electricity rate increase of 6.5% on November 1, 2014; a 6.5% increase on October 1, 2015, and then a 3% increase each year for the next three years. Under the recommendation, water rates will not see an increase this year, but water rates may see a 4.7% increase each year for the next 4 years. MEAN also recommends that sewer rates be in-creased approximately 10% each year for the next five years. For 2014-2015, the residential sewer rate would increase from $21.74 to $24.00. Waste Connections (the city’s trash contractor) has also indicated that a 2% increase will be needed for the next fiscal year. Administrator Fellhoelter estimat-ed the impact these rate changes would have on

the average residential bill for the last billing cycle (August 16, 2014-September 14, 2014). The aver-age residential bill would have seen an increase of $8.91 for that billing period if the recommended rates were in effect at that time. He stated these are only preliminary recommendations for Coun-cil and the rates will be determined at a meeting that will be scheduled for later in the month.

ESU 13 launches innovative transition project

Dr. Jeffrey D. West, Administrator ESU #13

ESU #13 has been award-ed an Innovative Transition Grant from the Nebraska De-partment of Education. This project will train job coaches to use a variety of APPS and oth-er strategies used by students to gain greater levels of inde-pendence in the workplace. Members will be furnished a mini i-pad, cover, and i-tunes card for use in this experience. This year long project includes participation in trainings, completion of assigned proj-ects, and implementation with students. Participants must actively support students with disabilities in community em-ployment settings.

Training will be conducted by Marsha Threlkeld, Senior Program Manager of WISE: Washington Initiative for Sup-ported Employment. Phylis Graney of ATP and Janine Bar-ber of ESU #13 will serve as on-site facilitators.

Through instruction and project-based learning, partici-pants will:

•Learn all features of Apple devices, how to purchase and install APPS, managing set-

tings of device•Produce a visual schedule

and task cueing system•Produce a video career port-

folio for at least one student•Use an APP to create a

goal-setting activity with stu-dents

•Demonstrate the ability to use device for data collection, job evaluations, and proving progress

•Use APPS to improve time management with students as well as provide anxiety reduc-tion for youth with autism

Jan Barber, Transition Spe-cialist at ESU #13, is excited about the project. “Not often do we provide extended training to our Job Coaches, and we should, because they are the ones work-ing most directly day in and day out with our students.”

“There are 15 para-educa-tors in this project from all across our region. While visiting schools, the whole SPED de-partment is talking about how they are beginning to imple-ment some of these ideas in community-based employment and the classroom as well. We have met

twice, and participants have monthly projects to complete which they are taking very seri-ously!” Barber went on to say.

Without Adobe Pro Con-nect, our DL system, and tech support from ESU #13, this project would not be possible. ESU #13 is the leader in the state in reaching out and utiliz-ing our technology capabilities to provide unique opportuni-ties for staff, transition stu-dents, and families we serve.

All trainings are held at the ESU #13 Technology Center lo-cated at the Harms Advanced Technology Center.

This is another example of how we at ESU #13 live our mission of “striving to achieve educational excellence for all learners through strong part-nerships, service and leader-ship.” ESU #13: Serving the Panhandle.

Shooting Sports named Morri l l County 4-H club of the year

The Morrill County Shooting Club earned the

Morrill County 4-H club of the year

honors. Through-out the past

few years, this organization has

grown from 12 or 13 members to

its current size of over 40 members.

Each year, the leaders introduce

and work with youth on the joys

of target shoot-ing. Along with teaching them

the proper shoot-ing techniques.

The students learn how to

handle firearms and archery

equipment safely.

Working to keep Bridgeport beautifulIt’s that time of year again,

time to keep Bridgeport beau-tiful. Twice a year, the Bridge-port Lions Club along with the Bridgeport Boys Scouts Troop 14 canvas the ditches along Highway 88 south of Bridge-port. Their section of the high-way begins at what is locally know as the four corners and continues three miles south.

The process of picking up the trash takes place each fall and spring. This autumn, six Lions Club members along with three boy scouts and their parents took part in the semi-annual event.

In addition to providing ev-eryone cool sodas or water af-ter completing the three miles, the Bridgeport Lions Club makes a generous donation to the scouts to help them with funds to pay for activities they attend each year.

“Tennis is not a country club sport,” began Dennis Emerick as he addressed the audience adding that tennis is a sport for rural America. Emerick sited a study reported by the U.S. Tennis Asso-ciation that attributes educational, health and social benefits from tennis participation. Emerick and the local tennis association are working to create more opportunities for youth to play.

“I think it’s an awesome sport,” said Brent VanPatten, Morrill County Community Tennis Association president. as he spoke at the MCCTA Annual Fall Meeting on Sunday, October 19 at Prai-rie Winds Community Center in Bridgeport.

At the age of forty, VanPatten began playing tennis at the urg-ing of the late Dee Berg. Years later, the pair competed in St. George, UT, where Van Patten earned a silver. He and Dee also competed in the doubles portion.

“It was an awesome experience. I can honestly say it was one of the most meaningful things I have done,” said Brent.

Thirty-eight youth participated in MCCTA events throughout

this past season in one or more of the following—classes, team tennis, tournaments and play days.

Four 6-week teaching sessions and four Play Day events were held in 2014. Junior players from Bridgeport participated in five tournaments, including events in Cheyenne, Kearney and Lincoln.

“Our own programming contributed to the fastest growing 10 & Under participation in our section,” said organizer and Ex Of-ficio member Darren Emerick, who has accepted a position as the Youth Tennis Specialist of the state of Nebraska.

Cynthia Toscano was recognized for her exemplary play this past season. Toscano has transferred to a metro Houston high school and is playing for their varsity team as a freshman as well as running varsity cross-country.

Significant donations to the MCCTA last year include $1,000 from the Bridgeport Community Center Foundation; $500 from the USTA; individual donations from Troy & Melissa Hedin, Joe and Joy Arbour, Michele Deaver and Susanna Batterman.

Plans for next year include expansion of the 10 & Under and youth tennis classes and lessons to incorporate Alliance and Chad-ron, as well as, Scottsbluff and Gering. The group hopes for even-tual expansion of the JTT league to include the entire Panhandle.

SUSAN MYERS(L-R) Levi Hanson, Andrew Hanson, members of the Bridgeport Boy Scouts, along with their mother Lydia Hanson volunteer to pick up trash with the Bridgeport Lions Club.

Another goal for next season is growth in tournament participation, the addition of one more tournament in the Morrill County area, and creation of a high school girl’s ten-nis team at Bridgeport High School for the 2016 season.

The group is looking at the organization of a NJTL at PWCC Panhandle Wood Racquet Classic and other fundraiser ideas.

Board leadership was elected for the 2015 season. Board and players in attendance are (L-R, kneeling) are Alex Barnette (junior player rep.), Troy Hedin, vice president; Brent VanPatten, president; Alicia Marx, Sarah Lang; (standing, L-R) Harrison Barnette, Lulu Lang, Melissa Hedin, treasurer; Darren Emerick, ex officio member, Tony McGrath, bus driver and son, Chase Mc-Grath; Sonja Marx, board member; and Carolyn VanPatten. Not pictured, Karen Harshbarger, secretary; Jack Berg, Michele Deaver and Dorothy Retchless, all board members.

Sarah Lang earned 2014 Junior Female Player of the Year, receiving her certifi-cate from MCCTA President Brent VanPat-ten. David Argamosa earned Junior Male Player of the Year.

Guadalupe Lang is honored by Brent VanPatten, MCCTA presi-dent, as 2014 Volunteer of the Year, while the Bridgeport Com-munity Center Foundation earned Tennis Supporter of the Year.

Brent VanPatten says, “We are very blessed to have this indoor court,” as he mentions his gratefulness to the late Dee Berg, in-strumental advocate for including tennis into the PWCC gym.

Serving local beef to the students of Bridgeport Public Schools through their lunch program was one of the main goals Chuck Lambert, Bridge-port’s new superintendent, had when implementing the beef initiative developed at the be-ginning of the 2014 school year.

Along with wanting to sup-port the health and nutrition of the Bridgeport students, Lam-bert indicated that the donation of the beef will also be more cost

effective for the school’s lunch program. At this time, the only cost the school has into the proj-ect is the processing of the beef, which is being done by KDK Meats, a Morrill County based meat locker who is also donat-ing the cost of testing the meat to help keep the costs down.

Lambert said that without KDK Meats, which is a USDA approved meat processing facility—a requirement by the government, the school wouldn’t be able to implement the program.

Upon moving to Bridgeport, Lambert presented his plan to the Bridgeport School Board and with their approval he visited with local beef produc-ers during the Morrill County Fair. Within a short period of time, ten producers stepped forward, each donating a beef to help kickoff the program.

To celebrate the success of the program and to show their appreciation to the generous donation of the local producers, Bridgeport Public Schools held an open house on Friday, Oct. 17th to thank the farm and ranch families for their donation. Dur-ing the open house, these donors along with community members attending the event were treated to hamburgers and all the fixings as well as a salad bar with choic-es of fresh fruit, vegetables and a variety of salads.

Lambert went on to explain that the school is able to get

approximately 500 pounds of meat from each animal donated indicating that to date they have received over 5,000 pounds of meat for the program. He con-tinued by saying that each time the lunch services prepares a meal with the beef that they use

about 100 pounds.The proof of the success of

the program lies in what the stu-dents say about the food to which a group of second grade students enjoying a meal with Elementary Principal Troy Malone said the hamburgers are great!

Bulldogs rout Tigers for HomecomingBridgeport defeats Bayard 50-0

Tiffaney Connelly Staff, Paw Prints

The Bridgeport Bulldogs steam-rolled the Bayard Tigers 50-0 for a royal victory during their Home-coming game played on Friday, Oc-tober 17th.

After stopping Bayard on the opening drive of the game, the Bull-dogs scored early and often as they crossed the goal line on their first three possessions.

Kaden Hall began the scoring fren-zy for the Bulldogs when he hauled in a five yard pass from Mitchell Dudden for a touchdown on the tenth play of their first possession. Wyatt Pan-kowski scored the two-point conver-sion to make the score 8-0.

Moments later after another forced Tiger punt, Pankowski put the Bulldogs up 14-0 when he scored on an eight yard run on the 11th play of their second drive.

The Bulldogs’ third touchdown

came early in the second quarter fol-lowing a Dudden interception. Six plays later, Pankowski scored on a three-yard run to increase their lead to 20-0.

On Bayard’s ensuing drive, the defense put the Bulldogs next touch-down on the board. Logan Linch in-tercepted a screen pass and sprinted 33 yards to the end zone. Pankowski scored the two point conversion to push their lead to 28-0.

With 7:21 still showing on the clock, Bridgeport’s scoring frenzy wasn’t fin-ished. After forcing yet another Tiger punt, the Bulldogs scored on their very first play from scrimmage when Dud-den hit Linch with a perfect 34-yard scoring strike. Pankowski bulled his way across the goal line with several

Celebrating Parents’ Night, the Leyton Lady Warriors fought back from a one set deficit to defeat Sedg-wick County in five sets on Tuesday, October 14th.

After dropping the first set 20-25, the Lady Warriors battled back to win sets two and three by the scores of 27-25 and 25-22. However, the Lady Cougars captured set four by the score of 25-21 to push the match to a fifth and deciding set. In the fi-nal set, the Lady Warriors jumped out to an early lead and never looked back, winning the final set by the score of 15-8.

“What a hard-fought match!” Head Coach Jodi Craig stated. “Of course we’d like to have won in three sets, but if we come out with the win in five sets and get better in the process, it’s worth having to play them all.”

The Lady Warriors finished with three hitters in double figures in kills. Shaela Jenkins led the Leyton attack with 13 kills, followed by Kai-

tlyn Berner and Diedra Waite with 11 and 10 respectively. Natalie Cruise finished with seven kills and 15 assists. Tay-lor Berner also finished with double figures in assists as she dished out 13.

Kaitlyn Berner led the Lady Warriors in serving with six ace serves and 12 points, while Cruise and Waite fin-ished four aces each. Cruise recorded 13 points during the match, while Waite tallied 12.

Defensively, Dani McKay and Waite blocked six Cougar attacks to lead the Lady War-riors, followed by Jenkins with five and Kaitlyn Berner with four. Leyton finished the match with five players with double figures in digs.

Jenkins led with 21, followed by Cruise with 18, McKay with 17, Kaitlyn Berner with 16 and Cruise with 15.

“Our serve receive and court aware-ness proved to be an asset for us throughout the match,” Coach Craig explained. “I also felt that we played more aggressive defensively, and that our bench girls who came in played their roles well. This was a great win for us, this week.”

CH A MPS: Lady Warriors defeat Minatare, Bayard and Creek Valley inroute to MAC titleContinued from B1

Once again, a Behrends’ kill followed by a Straber block gave the Lady Storm a 19-16 edge, but Leyton would battle back with a Jenkins kill and an ace serve by Waite.

With the score tied 19-19, both teams were unable to put together a run as the score went back and forth. Leyton tied the score at 23-23 with a Waite tip for a kill. Creek Val-ley hit an attack into the net giving the Lady Warriors the one-point advantage, but Payje Misegadis recorded a kill to tie the set one more time.

The Lady Warriors won the match when Creek Valley missed on two attacks as they hit one out-of-bounds and hit the other into the net.

Leyton advanced to the championship match with a first round victory over Mina-tare by the scores of 25-8 and 25-8, and followed that up with a thrilling three set win over Bayard by the scores of 19-25, 25-22 and 25-21.

“We knew going into the MAC tournament, we would have to play well to make it to the championship game,” explained Head Coach Jodi Craig. “Hav-ing to sit through three matches prior to play-ing Bayard, we didn’t come out with the intensity and dropped the first set. We were able to adjust our defense and attack plan to win the sec-ond and third sets.

“After beating Ba-yard, we knew the winner of the other semi-final game

would be tough, no matter who came out the winner. Having split with Creek Valley earlier this season, it was going to be a matter of executing on a con-sistent basis if we were going to be able to have a chance to beat them. We served aggressively and hustled defensively to keep Creek Valley out of system ear-ly in the match. The girls put together a very collaborative effort in winning the MAC title. I am very proud of the girls for keeping their composure and staying organized on our side of the court,” said Coach Craig.

Sav v y Se n i o rWhat to consider when choosing a walk-in bathtub

Dear Savvy Senior,I’m interested in getting a

walk-in bathtub for my wife that’s easy for her to get into and out of, but could use some assistance. Can you offer any consumer tips? ~Need HelpDear Need,

A walk-in bathtub is a great option for seniors with mobility problems who have trouble get-ting in and out of a traditional tub. But with so many options available today, choosing one can be challenging. Here are a few tips that can help.

Bathtub BasicsWalk-in bathtubs are spe-

cialty products that have a watertight, hinged door built into the side of the tub that provides a much lower thresh-old to step over (usually 3 to 7 inches) versus a standard tub that’s around 15 inches.

In addition to the low threshold, most walk-in tubs also have a built-in seat, grab bars, anti-slip floors and a handheld showerhead. And many higher-end models offer therapeutic spa-like features

that are great for seniors with arthritis and other ail-ments.

The kind of walk-in tub you choose will depend on the size and layout of your bathroom, your wife’s needs and preferences, and your budget. Prices for a good walk-in tub typically run be-tween $3,000 and $10,000 installed. Here are some oth-er things you should know.

Quality check: The best walk-in bathtubs on the market today are made in the USA. Also, make sure the com-pany you choose has a lifetime “leak-proof” door seal warran-ty and lengthy warranties on both the tub and the operating system.

Tub size: While walk-in bathtubs vary in shape and size, most models have high-walls (three feet or higher), are 26 to 32 inches wide, and will fit into the same 60-inch long space as your standard tub without having to reconfigure the room. If the walk-in tub doesn’t quite fit your old bath-tub space, extension kits are available to ensure a good fit.

Door options: Most walk-in tubs have an inward open-ing door, but if your wife uses a wheelchair or is a large per-son, an outward opening door may be a better option because they’re easier to enter and exit. But, be aware that because these doors swing out, they re-quire more bathroom space.

One other style to consider is the “rising-wall” bathtub made by Kohler, which sits about two feet off the ground and has a side panel that slides up and down. These tubs can be entered from a seated posi-tion, which makes it a nice op-tion for wheelchair users.

Tub type: Most companies offer several different types of walk-in tubs. The most basic type is a soaker tub, or you can

get a therapeutic tub that of-fers either whirlpool water jets or bubble massage air jets, or a combination of the two.

Fast fill and drain: One drawback to using a walk-in bathtub is that the bather must sit in the tub as it fills and drains, which can make for a chilly experience. To help with this, choose a tub that has fast-filling faucets and pump-assist-ed drainage systems, which sig-nificantly speeds up the process.

Where to shop: While there are many companies that make, sell and install walk-in bathtubs, some of the best in the industry are Safe Step (saf-esteptub.com, 800-346-6616), Premier (premiercarebathing.com, 800-934-7614), Ameri-can Standard (americanstan-dard.com, 866-423-0800) and Jacuzzi (jacuzzi.com, 800-288-4002). Many big box retailers like Lowes, Home Depot and Sears sell walk-in bathtubs too.

Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover walk-in bath-tubs, but many companies offer financing with monthly payment plans.

To get started, contact a few companies who will send a lo-cal dealer to your home to as-sess your bathroom, and give you product options and esti-mates for free.

Do l l a r S a n D Se n S eLower credit-card rate? Just ask

David Uffington

Unhappy with your credit-card interest rate? Wondering how to lower it? It might be eas-ier than you think. Sometimes you only need to ask.

According to a study done by CreditCards.com, only 23 percent of credit-card holders have ever asked for a lower rate. Of those who did ask, two-thirds were approved.

And that’s not the only thing you can ask your credit-card company for. Although only 28 percent of cardhold-ers who wanted a waiver for a late-payment fee dared to ask for it, of those who did ask, 90 percent were successful.

Apparently, there are cer-tain parameters to being given a lower interest rate or a late-fee waiver. About 72 percent of those who asked for (and received) a lower rate had in-

comes of more than $75,000. Those with incomes between $50,000 and $74,999 received a lower rate 55 percent of the time. When it came to getting a late-fee waived, the high-er-income cardholders were successful 93 percent of the time. Those in the $30,000 to $49,999 range were successful 76 percent of the time.

What this tells us is that no matter your income, if you want a lower interest rate or a late fee waived, it doesn’t hurt to call and ask. Credit-card com-panies don’t check your credit every week to see if you’re wor-thy, but they will when you call. Establish a relationship and you’re more likely to get a “yes” when you ask for something, especially if you’ve been work-ing to raise your credit score.

Other things to ask for when you’re on the phone with the credit-card company:

• A different due date each month. If your paycheck hits your account on the first of ev-ery month and the credit card payment is due on the fifth, you run the risk of being late each and every month. Ask for the due date to be pushed back to the 15th. It might take one or two cycles to get it on track.

• Are there any new pro-grams? For example, if you’re with a major card company, it likely has a number of different cards, each with different bene-fits. Be careful and do the math, but if you’re offered a card with zero interest for a period of time if you do a cash advance to pay off another card, consider it.

David Uffington regrets that he cannot personally answer reader questions, but will in-corporate them into his column whenever possible. Send email to columnreply2@gmail.com.

Seniors want to workMatilda Charles

According to a study re-leased by Merrill Lynch, seniors don’t really want to completely retire. Nearly three-quarters of us want our retirement years to include work.

Given the economy, it would seem an easy guess that we would keep working not be-cause we want to, but because we need the money. But that’s not necessarily so, per the study. Five years before retir-ing, 37 percent of us already have taken steps to having a career after retirement. Half of us do take a break between official retirement and the next career. The break lasts for two years. We then spend the next

nine years or so finding a bal-ance between work and lei-sure, with most of us opting for part-time work. A third of us become self-employed.

The study addresses myths about us:

• Retirement means the end of work. Not so. Fully 80 percent of respondents said they work because they want to.

• Retirement is a time of decline. No, again. The majority said that work keeps them young and holds off physical and mental decline.

• People work past re-tirement age because they need the money. Twice as many said they work to stay active, not for the money.

• Retirees who work keep the same type of career. No, over half have switched to new types of work, preferably with more fun and less stress.

Do the working retired have any advice for us? Yes. Be willing to try new things, do something you enjoy even if it pays less, and keep up with technology.

To see the whole study, go online to www.ml.com/retire-mentstudy. This was the third section of a four-part study. On the right of the screen look for “Work in Retirement: Myths and Motivations.”

First f lu cases confirmed in NebraskaDHHS encourages vaccination

Flu is here. The first confirmed cases of the season have been report-ed to the Nebraska De-partment of Health and Human Services. There are three, all in Douglas County.

“Several viruses are in the news right now including Ebola and en-terovirus, but it’s also important to remember that flu can be a seri-ous disease,” said Dr. Joseph Acierno, Chief Medical Officer and Director of Public Health for DHHS. “Getting vaccinated is the most important step you can take to protect yourself and your family from flu.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rec-ommend everyone 6 months and older get vaccinated for the flu in the fall, or as soon as vaccine is available.

New this year, children be-tween 2 and 8 years old should receive the nasal spray vac-

cine, according to the CDC. Recent research suggests the nasal spray flu vaccine may be more effective than the flu shot in younger children. However, parents shouldn’t delay vacci-nation if the nasal spray vac-cine isn’t available.

While flu can make any-one sick, certain people are at greater risk for serious compli-cations, and it’s especially im-portant they receive vaccine:

•Young children•Older people•People with chronic lung

disease (like asthma and COPD), diabetes (type 1 and 2), heart disease, neurologic conditions and certain other long-term health conditions

•Pregnant women Severe cases of flu can lead

to hospitalization and even death.

The severity and the length of flu seasons vary, but flu season in the U.S. typ-ically peaks between Decem-ber and February. Though

public health officials can’t predict exactly what flu sea-son will be like this year, they recommend getting vaccinated as soon as possible for the best protection.

DHHS officially started flu surveillance Sept. 28. Surveil-lance shows where the flu is and how fast it’s spreading across the state.

DHHS uses multiple sur-veillance systems to track flu viruses, including sentinel physicians who report the number of people with flu-like illness weekly, lab tests, school surveillance, hospital data, emergency department data and death reporting.

“I Wa s Th I n k I n g. . .”Pro spor ts bonanza

Susan Gillies

If you are a huge fan of pro-fessional sports, October is a very special time for you. If you are less of a fan, you may not be aware how important this is. On October 28, 2014, the National Basketball League begins its regular season. That means the top four sports all have scheduled games during the last week of October. It’s the only time of the year this hap-pens. Baseball’s World Series gets underway in October. The National Football League is in its mid-season and the Nation-al Hockey League has begun its season probably because the pond has frozen in front of the league’s office in Labrador.

For those of you who don’t like sports at all, quietly study one of these sports. Then, seemingly overnight become a fan. Your friends and family will be stunned. It’s fun to sur-prise them with a new aspect of your personality. You may even decide to stay a fan.

Most sports fans love this Oc-tober “pile-on” of sports. Others are driven crazy by too many games to watch simultaneously. Some of us wish for a time when baseball was in the summer, football in the fall, hockey in the winter, and basketball not at all (or basketball in the winter and hockey not at all). But that’s not the way it is. More money can be made with stretched out sea-

sons. There just aren’t enough months in the year to accommo-date all this money-making fun! Think of the disaster it would be if there weren’t enough games of some kind to fill up the sports channels. We’d have

to endure more hours of four guys sitting behind a desk talk-ing to each other. We might even have to go so far as to turn off the TV. Horrors!

To Yo u r go o d he a lT hEyebrow loss? Have thyroid checked

Keith Roach, M.D.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an active 63-year-old

female of normal weight. I exercise several times a week and am in seemingly good health. About a year ago I no-ticed that my eyebrows were disappearing, starting on the outer edges. They are now al-most completely gone.

During my annual physi-cal in November, my gen-eral physician found that I have thyroid nodules. Three large ones were biopsied and proved negative. Blood work, including a TSH level, is normal. Both my GP and dermatologist feel certain that the nodules are not caus-ing the eyebrow problem, be-cause I don’t have any other symptoms of thyroid disease, but they don’t know what is causing the loss. — K.F.

ANSWER: The loss of eye-brows, superciliary madaro-sis, has many possible causes, but low thyroid is the first one that most doctors think of. A TSH level is a reason-able screening test for thyroid disease, but if the suspicion is high, I check additional thy-roid tests, such a thyroxine (T4), free T4 and T3. Occa-sionally TSH still can be in the

very broad “normal” range for most people but be abnormal for that person.

Other causes of eyebrow loss include autoimmune dis-ease, inflammatory skin condi-tions and infection. Repeated plucking of the eyebrows can lead to permanent loss of the follicles. Allergies to cosmet-ics also can cause eyebrow and eyelash loss. Have you changed your makeup recently?DEAR DR. ROACH:

My wife continually tells me that I should not drink re-heated coffee because it con-centrates the acid in coffee and is bad for me. I never drink more than one cup per day, and I always use a non-dairy creamer and Splenda. I have researched this question on-line and several responses say it is not harmful. In the mean-time, she drinks orange juice every day, which has a lower pH than coffee. She sometimes complains about acid indiges-tion. Your comments? — A.

ANSWER: Acid is measured by the pH scale—with the low-er the number, the more acid in the liquid. Coffee has a pH of about 5, slightly acidic, where-as orange juice has a pH of 3, which means it is a hundred times more acidic. Reheating coffee should not change the

acid concentration.Your stomach has a pH of

about 1.5—much more acid than either juice or coffee. The caffeine in coffee can stimu-late your stomach to make more acid, and can weaken the sphincter muscle that keeps the stomach acid from going up into the esophagus. However, if it isn’t bothering you, there is no reason to stop drinking coffee.

One cup of juice usually doesn’t cause acid indigestion either.DEAR DR. ROACH:

What is a hammer toe? Is surgery always necessary?

— R.H.ANSWER: A hammer toe is a

deformity of the second, third or fourth toe, where it stays perma-nently bent. It may be caused by wearing shoes with too little toe room. Roomy shoes are always a good idea, and taping may be tried if the toe is still bendable.

Surgery is used in cases of pain that doesn’t respond to conservative treatments. Sur-gery should not be done just for cosmetic reasons.

Flexible spending accounts, commuter benefits cut your taxes

Jason Alderman

For millions of Americans, 2015 open enrollment for employer-provided benefits is right around the corner. While it may be tempting to simply opt for the same coverage you have this year, doing so could cost you hundreds–or thou-sands–of dollars in tax savings.

Have I captured your atten-tion?

Find out if your employer offers flexible spending ac-counts (FSAs). They let you pay for eligible out-of-pocket healthcare and/or dependent care expenses on a pre-tax basis–that is, before federal, state, local and Social Security taxes have been deducted from your paycheck.

Also look for a commuter benefit plan, where you can pay for certain workplace mass transit and parking expenses with pretax dollars. By con-tributing to an FSA or com-muter plan to cover expenses you would have paid for any-way, you reduce your taxable income by that amount, which in turn lowers your tax bill.

Here’s how it can add up: Say you’re married, jointly earn $90,000 a year and con-tribute 5 percent to a 401(k). If you contribute $2,000 to a healthcare FSA and $4,000 for dependent care, your re-sulting net income, after taxes, would be roughly $1,700 more than if you had paid for those expenses on an after-tax ba-sis. Use the FSA calculator at www.dinkytown.net to evalu-ate your own situation.

And, with a commuter plan,

you can use pretax dollars to pay for up to $130 a month in transit expenses (bus, train, vanpool, etc.) and $250 a month in quali-fied parking expenses and reap the same kind of tax benefit.

You can use a healthcare FSA to pay for any IRS-allowed medical expenses not covered by your medical, dental or vi-sion plans. This includes de-ductibles, copayments, orth-odontia, glasses, prescription drugs, chiropractic, smoking cessation programs and many more. Note: Over-the-counter medications, except for insu-lin, require a doctor’s prescrip-tion to be eligible. (See IRS Publication 502.)

Dependent care FSAs let you use pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible expenses related to care for your child, spouse, parent or other dependent in-capable of self-care. Eligible expenses include:

•Fees for licensed daycare and adult care facilities.

•Amounts paid for services provided in or outside your home so that you and your spouse can work, look for work, or attend school full-time.

•Before- and after-school programs for dependents un-der age 13.

•Babysitting by relatives over age 19 who aren’t your dependent.

For some lower-income families, the federal income tax dependent care tax credit is more advantageous than an

FSA so crunch the numbers or ask a tax expert which alterna-tive is best. Note: You cannot claim the same expenses under both tax breaks.

Keep in mind these FSA re-strictions:

•The IRS limits employee contributions to healthcare FSAs to $2,500 a year.

•The dependent care FSA contribution limit is $5,000 if you’re single or married filing jointly.

•Healthcare and dependent care account contributions are not interchangeable.

•Outside of open enroll-ment, you can only make mid-year FSA changes after a major life or family status change.

•You must re-enroll in FSAs each year.

You’ll also need to estimate planned healthcare FSA ex-penses carefully or risk hav-ing to forfeit your unused ac-count balance. Employers may choose to either: offer a grace period of up to 2½ months af-ter the plan year’s end to incur expenses; or allow you to carry over up to $500 to use in the following year.

With commuter plans you can change contribution amounts throughout the year whenever your needs change; you can also carry over unused funds from month to month..

October dedicated to domestic violence awareness

The month of October is well known for breast can-cer awareness, but it is also a month dedicated to raising awareness about something equally important…DOMES-TIC VIOLENCE. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV):

• One in three women (30%) and one in seven men (14%) report being a victim of domestic violence; one in five women (20%) and one in six-teen men (6%) report being a victim of sexual assault.

• 60% of Americans, 15 years of age or older, know a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault. Among the 70% of women who have experi-enced domestic violence and told someone about it, more than half (58%) said that no one helped them.

• Three out of four (73%) parents with children under

the age of 18 said that they have not had a conversation about violence in the home.

• Three quarters of Ameri-cans (75%) say they would step in and help if they saw even a stranger being abused, but al-most two thirds (64%) of Ameri-cans age 15 or older say if we talk more about domestic violence and sexual assault, it would make it easier to help someone.

In Nebraska alone, agencies dedicated to assisting victims of domestic violence served 28,700 individuals in many different capacities – answer-ing 49,940 calls to the 24 hour crisis lines operated by the network of programs; 51,855 service contacts were made in order to provide support and advocacy; an additional 2,582 service contacts were spent providing additional activities to children and youth (Nebras-ka Domestic Violence Sexual

Assault Coalition; 2012 - 2013 Statewide Report).

Domestic violence can lead to other common emotional disturbances such as depres-sion, anxiety, panic attacks, substance abuse, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Abuse can trigger suicide at-tempts, homelessness, and a slower recovery from mental illness. Children exposed to domestic violence are at risk for developmental problems, psychiatric disorders, school difficulties, aggressive behav-ior, and low self-esteem. These factors can make it difficult for survivors to be motivated to seek out resources.

So if you know someone who is currently being affected, or has been affected by domestic violence please know that help is available through Panhandle Mental Health Center and the DOVES Program.

WHEREAS, The Morrill County Board of Commissioners have received from the Morrill County Treasurer a report listing all parcels of real estate in the County on which any taxes are delinquent and which have been offered for sale at a Public Sale, and have remained unsold for want of bidders,

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED; that the Morrill County Board directs the Treasurer of Morrill County to place County Tax Sale Cer-tificates on all delinquent real estate taxes and special assessments for 2012 and prior years, to maintain such Certificates in her custody, and to purchase all subsequent taxes thereon as the same may become delinquent.

Approved and adopted this 14th day of Octo-ber, 2014.

Yeas: Metz, Oltmann and Erdman. Nays: None. Motion carried. The Board discussed the option of putting the names of the people on the list of delinquent taxes that is listed in the paper.

Bryan Hoerler, County Highway Superinten-dent, met with the Board. Hoerler had an agree-ment with Farmers Irrigation District for the damages to the roads when their ditch flooded.

He said that when he signs it, they will pay Mor-rill County $46,832.22 for damages. The Board encouraged Hoerler to sign it. Hoerler present-ed the revised “Culvert and Access Road Policy”. Motion was made by Oltmann, seconded by Metz, to approve the Policy. Yeas: Oltmann, Metz and Erdman. Nays: None. Motion carried. Erdman advised Hoerler to visit with Adams re-garding the problem on Road 112, between 81 & 83 and if it could be fixed.

Katherine Morgenstern, Petroleum Land-man, with Elk Petroleum, met with the Board regarding the CO2 Pipeline. She said they are still working on the route. She said she would like to thank the Board and Bryan Hoerler for encouraging Banner County to review this pipe-line. She named many fine citizens in Morrill and Banner County that are helping her to get these easements for the pipeline and support-ing Elk Petroleum. Morgenstern said the best route would still be in the right-of-way of High-way 88, but the State is not willing at this time to allow this. She is still working with the State to see if this can be an option. She showed maps of the various routes along county roads where the landowners are agreeable to easements. She said the private roads through the Alexander ranch would be best, but at this time, they are not agreeable. She said they are looking for the easiest and cheapest ways to complete this proj-ect. The County Board told Morgenstern that Elk Petroleum has Morrill County’s full support in this endeavor and will work to help get the easements they need.

Steve Erdman, Chairman of the Board, said he would like to discuss the matter with the County Clerk about hiring someone for six months to train, versus their recommended three months. Erdman said that he thought everyone agreed to this at budget time. He said it was totally unac-ceptable and Metz agreed. He chastised Brandt and issued an ultimatum that she either has Pam Edens, who is retiring in March, retire in January or only hire the new person for three months or that next year at budget time, her budget would take serious cuts. Brandt said that they do not realize that she has to train her employee for three separate jobs, not one, and again invited them into to see what the training entails. Brandt said that she cannot force any employee to retire early. The Board said it did not matter and they wanted it rectified. Brandt said they always say they have no control over the individual offices. They said they do not, but they do have control over the budget.

Travis Rodak, County Attorney, told the Board that after attending the NIRMA Safety Conference, he learned that County Hospitals can be a detriment to the county and certain things have to be handled differently. He said the County Board is to appoint the Hospital Board and let them operate separately, so that the hospital does not become a financial burden for the County, if something were to happen down the road.

Chairperson Erdman, adjourned the meeting at 10:44 A.M. Next meeting will be Tuesday, Oc-tober 28, 2014.

Tools and technology through t imeBridgeport fourth grade stu-

dents had the opportunity to get firsthand experience of how tools used in the agriculture in-dustry have changed over time when they vis-ited the Farm and Ranch Museum on Wednesday, September 4th.

Sponsored by the Educa-tional Service Unit out of Scottsbluff, stu-dents through-out the Panhan-dle were able to view up close how farmers from the ear-lier part of the 20th century did many of the same tasks done on farms today, but with equipment used back then. These students watched as a stationary baler was used to form square bales, witnessed how blacksmiths molded iron

into the various tools needed, and saw the various pieces of equipment used in the growing potatoes.

Along with that, they got

hands on experience using stationary corn shelling equip-ment and corn grinding ma-chinery. In addition, they were able to experience how a block

and tackle pulley system makes moving a heavy load easier than using a single pulley.

Throughout the day, the students moved through eight

different stations learning about the early days of the sugar beet industry to how steam engines were used to operate threshing machines.

Kevin Myers(L-R): Karlie Deaver, Kaylee Mitchell, Destinee Huck and Kaitlynn Warren op-erate the old fashioned corn grinder at the Farm and Ranch Museum.

PINK OUT: Giving backContinued from A1

the students and staff formed the word PINK. The t-shirts the students wore for the photo were donated by ALLO Communications and Bridgeport Public School Board of Education. Along with forming the word PINK for the photo, they also invited cancer survivors to walk with them through the Homecoming Parade.

In addition to these activities, the volleyball players, golfers and cross country runners wore pink shoelaces during their activities while the football players from both Bridgeport wore pink socks to show their support. The shoelaces and socks were donated by Morrill Coun-ty Community Hospital.

Jan Bloyd, Deb Millette and Micki McConnell, spon-sors of the students involved in FCCLA, Art Club and Students Council that formed the Pink Out committee, said they are very proud of the efforts of the students involved with the planning, organizing and conducting

the activities. They shared that this was a great opportu-nity for the students to learn how wonderful it feels to give back to the community and to those who are in need of their support.

They went on to explain that not only did the student body come together to make this a huge success, but indi-vidual students got into the mood of giving. One example they shared was the efforts of Lexi Harding, a Bridgeport elementary student who is in the fifth grade. Jan Bloyd, Bridgeport Family Consumer Science Instructor indicated that Lexi made and over 600 suckers during the Pink Out week and donated the pro-ceeds, which were presented to the Festival of Hope.
