Lady Pirates in sub-district finals gameOn Thursday night, Feb. 17, the Lady Pirate

basketball action continued in a sub-district final with a tough and scrappy Niobrara-Verdi-gre team.

The Lady Pirates came ready for a physical fight and with the help of their work in the weight room the team finished on the win-ning end 45-39.

“Defensively we challenged most shots and did a nice job defending in the paint. Re-bounding was the name of the game and that was a big part of our success,” said Coach Mike Pardun.

Peace Akinnigbagbe took the lead with 13 points and Abbie Kromarek was right behind with 11 points. Other scoring was huge as the team was neck and neck with the Lady Cougars all the way until the last three min-utes of the game. Teya Boyer had 9, Madelynn

Dougherty 5, Brittani Gutz 3 and Keanu John-son and Heather Pendergast each had 2 points.

Rebounding was a huge game changer for the team, and Akinnigbagbe and Boyer bat-tled to get 30 combined rebounds. Akinnig-bagbe ended with 17 and Boyer with 13 while Kromarek had 8, Pendergast 6 and Johnson 5.

With this win the Lady Pirates advanced to the District Finals on Friday against a compet-itive Fremont Archbishop Bergen team in Wis-ner at 7:00 p.m., if the Lady Pirates win, they’ll be entered in the State Tournament, which starts play on March 7.

Sub-Districts win over Creighton Subdistricts kicked off on Tuesday evening

in Niobrara with a tough Creighton Lady Bull-dogs team.

The Lady Pirates led all of the game and got the big win 47-43 to advance to the finals on Thursday evening against the number one seed Niobrara-Verdigre Lady Cougars.

“From the start of the game we set the tone for how we were going to play. We were ready to go and made a nice mix of free throws and shots to maintain the lead” said Coach Mike Pardun.

Scoring for the Lady Pirates was Abbie Kro-marek 15, Peace Akinnigbagbe 14, Teya Boyer 9, Brittani Gutz and Heather Pendergast 3 each, Marque Albin 2 and Madelynn Dougherty 1.

Akinnigbagbe took control of the re-bounds and led the team with 14 boards and Pendergast and Kromarek each took down 6 rebounds.

The Plainview Volunteer Fire Department will be hosting its 62nd annual Junior Fire Patrol for all students in the fifth-grade in Plainview, starting on Tuesday evening, March 1.

Junior Fire Patrol runs for five weeks in a row, and begins at the fire hall each Tuesday at 7 p.m.

The group will be following “school rules” in case of inclement weather (if school is closed, no fire patrol.)

Anyone with questions should contact Rick Mosel.

5th Graders invited to Junior fire Patrol

Seven members of the Plain-view Pirate wrestling team trav-eled to Omaha’s CHI Center for the 2022 NSAA State wrestling tournament this past week – and brought home two first-place, one second-place and a lot of ex-perience for a number of younger grapplers.

“Our performance was very good throughout the tourna-ment,” said Head Coach Dean Boyer. “Putting three guys in the finals was a big accomplishment and helped us finish fifth as a team.”

Making his fourth debut at the tournament – senior Scout Ashburn, 132 lbs., nabbed his third first-place and fourth medal from the State tourna-ment with a fourth-place finish

in 2019, and first in 2020, 2021 and now 2022.

“Scout did what he has done during his high school career,” said Boyer. “He doesn’t make many mistakes and puts himself in positions that he can score from. He avenged an overtime loss by winning an overtime match in the finals. That was Scout’s 186th win of his career which is a school record at Plain-view.”

In his second state tourna-ment appearance – junior Tan-ner Frahm, 145 lbs., wrestled his way to not only his first state medal for the Pirates, but also took the first gold in the champi-onship bout for 2022.

“Tanner defeated Foster from Sutherland in the semi’s that had

beat him 6-4 during the season,” said Coach Boyer. “Then went on in the finals and won 4-1 over a wrestler that we had split with during the season. Tanner’s con-fidence really increased from the beginning of the season to the end.”

Scoring the third medal for the Pirates was junior Kyler Mosel, who visited Omaha for his second state appearance, and pulled in a second-place medal at 138-lbs. at the 2022 event.

“Kyler wrestled a very solid tournament,” said Coach Boyer. “His runner-up finish was a 5-3 loss to a wrestler that we had lost 15-5 the previous time we wres-tled him. Kyler gets another year to make it to the top.”

Though wins were tougher to

come by for the remaining Pi-rates – Jordan Mosel at 126; John Lejia at 152; Wyatt Doerr at 160 and Xander Albin at 285 – every-one had at least two matches at the “big show.”

The three-time State Cham-pion Pirate team suffered a little under the weight of not having a full team to wrestle, but still nailed down fifth-place overall with 71.5 team points from the matches won. Sutherland won the Class D state tournament with 141 team points, Mullen was second with 93, Winside ended up in third with 92 and Thayer Central was fourth with 72.

“All of our qualifiers return ex-cept Scout which will be a big loss,” said Boyer. “but with six

guys returning with state tour-nament experience. That will give us a big boost next year.”

Individual results for the Pi-rates at the State Tournament in-cluded:

126: Kyler Mosel lost 7-3 to Kohl of Sutherland; won 18-3 in tech fall over Sayer of Cambridge and lost 6-2 to Hemmingsen of Riverside.

132: Scout Ashburn won 14-3 in major decision over Jacobs of Hay Springs; won 7-1 over Conn of Arapahoe; won 7-3 over Bruns of Sutherland and won in tie breaker 1 over Kuehn of Kene-saw, 2-1. Ashburn took first-place.

138: Kyler Mosel pinned Cor-bett of Cambridge; won 3-0 over Heaton of Hyannis; won 7-2 over

Randall of Pender and lost 5-3 to Peterka of Sutherland. Moselwon second-place.

145: Tanner Frahm won 16-1in tech fall over Gracey of Mullen; won 18-1 over Bertrand of Axtell in tech fall; won 4-3 over Fosterof Sutherland and won 4-1 bydecision over Escalante of Win-side. Frahm won first-place.

152: John Lejia lost by pin toGrint of Twin Loup and lost 6-5 to Dowding of Palmyra.

160: Wyatt doer lost by pin to Kuester of Neligh-Oakdale andlost 12-4 in major decision toHarvey of Mullen.

285: Xander Albin lost 3-0 toFraher of Guardian Angels Cen-tral Catholic; won 7-5 over Hubl of Hitchcock County and lost 3-1 to Mueller of Summerland.

Opinion2 The Plainview News Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2022

Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of

speech, or of the press . . . – The First Amendment

Ombudsman Part Deux So a few weeks ago I offered up my services as an “om-

budsman” of sorts. I realize that I’m not trained, I realize that I’m not a “profes-

sional” and I realize that you’d all have to trust me to be able to do that.

I guess I offered it up because I realize that there are also things wrong with our community that we really can’t seem to find the guts to try to fix.

No one will talk about them, no one will expose them, and no one will even attempt to fix them.

Drug addicts or users, child molesters, spouse and child abusers – physical and mental, cheating spouses, drug ped-dlers, thieves, peepers, embezzlers, tax frauds, cheats, liars, ma-nipulators – it doesn’t take a very good throwing arm to find someone to hit.

I’m not perfect, I’ve never claimed to be – but I can tell you I steer away from certain activities for one reason and one rea-son alone – not because I’m afraid of being labeled, and not because I’m afraid of the activity itself – I cannot imagine or comprehend having to go to the bathroom in public.

I’ve never been inside the prisoner area of a large detention facility – I’ve toured Pierce and Antelope county jails perhaps one time in my life – but the number one fear of mine would be having to use a toilet situated in the middle of a room full of people.

Maybe things have changed. For those of you that “poo-poo’ed” my offer and were brazen

enough to share that opinion with me, or even if you scoffed in your little dark space – let me tell you, we’re behind the 8-ball on this one.

A fellow newspaper in Lexington offered up a story this week about the Safe2Help hotline that has been offered to all, in this case specifically for schools in Nebraska – as a partner-ship between the Boys Town National Hospital and the Ne-braska Department of Education.

First I’ve heard of it, but I’m sure it’s not the first some of you have heard.

It does take direct participation from the school, and the “claim to fame” is that the tips that the center receives are com-pletely anonymous. No one, not even the school district (in this case), can find out who placed the call.

One of my favorite movies is “Pump Up the Volume” starring the one and only Christian Slater. It has a few low points of ex-cessive this or that, but that’s, of course, the point. Slater, through his rogue behavior as a black-flag radio host, is able to gather sentiments anonymously through his P.O. Box, and by callers through a disguised phone system.

We’re fortunate around here – Plainview hasn’t always been – but we certainly have been lately to have avoided the tragedy that comes with this type of unmarked and un-dealt-with behavior.

But the thing we can do – the thing we should (and perhaps used to) all feel obligated to do, is to say something when it’s noticed. No one can get help unless someone knows they need help.

In this era of “ultimate sharing” and almost unrestricted ac-cess to all things personal and private – we’ve still got people hiding in our midst that are causing irreparable damage – usu-ally to our young people. And we just allow them to continue shopping beside us, attending events in the same bleachers and patronizing businesses.

Make no mistake – people that have paid their dues to so-ciety should not be under any type of scrutiny, if we do that, we erode the purpose of the entire system – forgiveness, but if they’re doing things that are harmful, and no one is stop-ping them – that’s unforgivable on our part.

We have all the tools we need to dig out this infection and eliminate it – but it takes all of us actually caring, and perhaps even doing something, to begin healing it. I’m sure we can go another 25-50, even 100 years, with this rotting infection in our community – but at some point – something will blow up, perhaps literally, and we won’t be able to avoid it.

If you can ask one thing of me as a “representative” if you like that term better, will be to do the same thing – investiga-tion, advice or direction – and you’ll remain as anonymous as it can be.

JANE OF ALL TRADESAmy Dummer

BOSS OF SAID BOSSApril Curtiss

By: Dr. Darron Arlt PHS Superintendent

I’ve been following the pro-

liferation of property tax re-quests due to the faulty school formula for some years now. It seems every legislative session, there’s a huge push for prop-erty tax reform, and rightfully

so. Too many

folks feel the problem is due to out of control school spending. But it’s not a school spend-ing problem, it’s a school

funding problem. I wouldn’t even try to ex-

plain the Tax Equity and Educa-tional Opportunities Support Act (TEEOSA). It’s been said that if you understand TEEOSA, you aren’t paying attention. It’s immensely complicated and it doesn’t even apply to Plain-view Public Schools.

We are considered a “non-equalized” district which means that we don’t receive any funds through the TEEOSA formula. We’re one of 157 out of 244 school districts that do not receive equalization aid from the state. Based on our property tax valuations (re-sources) and our needs to edu-cate our students, the state determines that we don’t need additional financial aid from the state.

The current “rules” for fund-ing public education are dis-proportionately reliant on property taxes. That puts a lot of pressure on local school boards to determine, through their levying authority, how many property tax dollars to request.

The total levy 10 years ago for Plainview Public Schools was $.93 per $100,000 of as-sessed valuation. The general levy in the 2012-2013 school year was $.88. This fiscal year, the general levy is $.59.

Total property valuations have fluctuated significantly during that time with a low of

$438,000,000 in 2012-2013 and a high of $748,000,000 in 2016-2017. In the rural area we know all too well that farm-ers/landowners shoulder a dis-proportionate burden of property taxes going to public education.

One of the latest attempts by the Unicameral to limit school property tax requests and replace it with a more eq-uitable formula (LB 986) failed to advance this session but will come back in another form for sure.

I’m also closely watching LB 890 which is designed to bring most schools into the TEEOSA equalization formula. No bill that I am aware of at this point attempts to influence local control about investment lev-els in their local school. Our 2-3 year vision at this point for Plainview Public Schools would see a likely increase in general fund dollars needed for per-sonnel due to enrollment in-creases and wage increases for hourly rate classified staff.

We hope to offset this in-crease by decreasing the build-ing levy. We’ve invested millions of dollars in the health, safety, and modernization of our facilities with the building levy. For 3 years we were at $.095 cents and we reduced that this year to $.07. Our hope is to further decrease that to maintain a $.65 to $.69 cent total levy in the next several years.

I will do my best to keep you posted about legislation mov-ing through the Nebraska Uni-cameral that affects public education and more directly, Plainview Public Schools.

FUND Thought of the Week

~ Confucious

“If you continue to think the way you have

always thought, you will continue to get

what you have always gotten.”

Local

Plainview FCCLA members celebrated FCCLA Week by cre-ating different activities throughout 14th-18th.

Monday found FCCLA Mem-bers handing out over 400 can-dygrams that were made after school the previous week. Each day 7-12 students would find candy treats in their locker lock-ers from FCCLA members with different sayings.

Monday was “You are always so thoughtful and sweet,” Tues-day “You are witty and have Twix up your sleeve,” Wednesday “You are marvelous and magnificent,” Thursday was “You bring color to

this world,” and Friday was “You make everyone feel jolly.”

During announcements each day FCCLA trivia questions were asked with prizes given to the homeroom class that was the first to email Mrs. Jacobsen the correct answer. Monday’s ques-tion was “Where is FCCLA Na-tional Headquarters?” Mr. Yilk’s homeroom won with the fastest correct response of Reston, Vir-ginia.

Tuesday, Miss Hansen’s home-room won by answering “family” to the question “What is the cen-tral focus of FCCLA?” “What does FCCLA stand for?” was Wednes-

day’s question and Mrs. Jacob-sen’s homeroom class won by answering with “Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America.” Thursday’s question was “What does STAR stand for?” Mr. Juden’s class won with their quick response of “Students Tak-ing Action with Recognition”. To end the week, Friday’s question was “What are the 3 Rs of mem-bership?” Mrs. Teton’s class won by saying “Recruit, Retain, Rec-ognize”.

The FCCLA also held a dona-tion drive that week for Bright Horizons.

Each homeroom was encour-aged to donate with the win-ning class to receive Casey’s

donuts, orange, and chocolatemilk. The winning class was Mrs. Clemens’s with 21 donations.The community also was in-volved in donating. Everyonethat brought items to the school and game on Friday received afree FCCLA Cookie.

By the end of the night boxesof items were collected alongwith $20 in monetary donations. The items, which are too numer-ous to count, will be delivered to Bright Horizons in Norfolk thisweek. FCCLA members want tothank everyone who donated.These needed items will be ap-preciated by survivors of domes-tic violence within ourimmediate area.

The World Day of Prayer serv-ice will be held Friday, March 4th - at the Plainview Congrega-tional/UCC church at 2 p.m.

All are invited to attend the service.

World Day of Prayer is a worldwide ecumenical move-ment of Christian women of many traditions who come to-gether to observe a common day of prayer and action each year on the first Friday in March. Each year a different country serves as the writer of the World Day of Prayer worship service, “interpreting the Bible in their own context, and lifting up is-sues of mission, justice and peace.”

Offerings collected during the services are granted by WDP na-tional committees to non-profit organizations that deal with is-sues identified by the writer-country. The WDP motto is “Informed prayer. Prayerful ac-tion.” World Day of Prayer USA promotes justice and equality for women through prayer part-nerships, service and celebra-tion.

The program this year is writ-ten by the women of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. They call this year’s participants to worship with the words “I know the plans I have for you,” inspired by Jeremiah 29: 1-14.

The Plainview Pirate junior high boys’ basketball team hosted the Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family team last Tuesday, Feb. 18, winning both the “A” and “B” games against the Bulldogs.

According to the Plainview Schools website, the game also served as Coach Robin Reed’s final game of his Plainview bas-ketball coaching career, as Reed had announced his intent to re-tire after this school year. Reed has coached for 37 years, a good majority at Plainview Public Schools

In the “A” game the Pirates won over the Bulldogs, 35-26.

The Plainview team started out 12-4 in the first, and went even, 10-10, in the second, to lead the game 22-14 at the half-time break. In the third the Bull-dogs regained a point on the Pirate lead, but with a 7-5 fourth quarter it wasn’t enough to take the lead and win the game, giv-ing the Pirates the win.

Scoring for Plainview were Kohen Lingenfelter with a big 17 points to lead the team. Wyatt Schroth added 12 points, Brae-den Kment had three points, Lenyn Ickler had two points and Bastion Curtiss added one.

The “A” team ended the sea-

son with a 4-9 record. The Pirate “B” team also took

a win over the Bulldogs, in a bit closer fashion, winning 14-12 after two quarters of play.

The Bulldogs took the first quarter 8-6, and the Pirates outscored the Bulldogs in the second quarter, 8-4, to take the last second lead and win the game.

Braden Kment scored six points, Bastion Curtiss had four points, and Wyatt Schroth and Blake Foster each netted two points.

The “B” team ended the sea-son with a 4-5 record.

The Plainview Pirate 5-6th Grade Boys Basketball team trav-eled to Verdigre to play in the Booster Club’s Tournament on Saturday, February 19, 2022.

Their efforts for the day, were not in vain as they were able to come away earning the third place medals for the day.

The boys fell short in the first game, losing a close 29-22 game to Bloomfield and moved to the loser’s bracket, where they were able to rally back and work their way through the bracket with wins against Santee 21-8, and Niobrara/Verdigre 15-7 to put the Pirates in a position to earn a medal and face Bloomfield again.

The undersized Pirates played

tough against the Bloomfield Bees, but unfortunately, the re-bounding and second chance shots of the Bees gave them the advantage and ended the Pi-rates tournament with a loss 30-22.

Scoring throughout the day was led by Jameson Dobler with 33 on the day, followed by Colt Hoffmann 13, Cody Hoffmann 10, Brayden Bruha 8, Jaxon Je-linek 6, Jake Zuhlke 4, and Caleb Thayer and Lincoln Forbes rounded out the scoring with 2.

Rebounds were led by Colt Hoffmann with 13, Cody Hoff-mann and Lincoln Forbes fol-lowed with 10 each, Jason Jelinek and Jameson Dobler grabbed 7 each, Jake Zuhlke and

Maddyn Ickler with 4 each, Bray-den Bruha with 3, Ethan Kemnitz with 2, and Caleb Thayer and Connor Slater each added 1.

Steals were led by Colt Hoff-mann with 12, while Jaxon Je-linek added 8, Jameson Dobler 6, Cody Hoffmann 5, Brayden Bruha 4, Lincoln Forbes 3 and Ethan Kemnitz 1.

Plainview’s 5-6 Grade Boys are coached by Leighton Medina, Spencer Hille, Karter Lingenfel-ter and Brendan Weber. The coaches said they were proud of the efforts of the boys and happy to see the increased con-fidence as the day progresses.

The Pirates will be back in ac-tion on March 5th at the Plain-view Ball Backer’s Tournament.

The Plainview Pirate boys’ basketball team had a run of bad luck heading into the sub-district tournament, falling in their last three games, be-fore heading to Elgin on Feb. 22 to take on Bloom-field in the first round.

Most recently, the Pirates played a game against Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family at home, falling 70-27 to the Bulldogs on the Plainview home court.

The Bulldogs got off to a big head start, outscoring the Pirates 17-2 in the first quarter, and adding another 16 by the halftime break, leading 37-6. After a 21-11 third quarter, and a 12-10 fourth, the Pirates conceded the loss 70-27.

Scoring against the Bulldogs for the Pirates were Spencer Hille with eight points and added to his record-breaking “Points in a Season” according to Coach Adam Yilk, topping the previous record of 251 at the Creighton game on February 11.

Waldow marked five rebounds to lead the Pi-rate defensive effort, Hille had four, Maertins had two and Ickler, Brendan Weber, Camden Dummer, Medina and King each were credited with one.

The H/LHF game was the final “regular season” game for the Pirates, and they entered the sub-dis-trict D1-5 tournament at Elgin High School on Tuesday evening, Feb. 22. A win there would put them in the sub-district finals game against either Elgin Public/Pope John or Osmond on February 24 in Elgin at 7 p.m.

against the Creighton Bulldogs, falling to the Creighton team on their home court, 56-48.

The Pirates were out to an early lead, 13-9 in the first, and added another eight in the second to hold the game at 21-18 at the halftime break, but in the third, the Bulldogs turned up the head, adding 22 points to their score and giving up only nine to the Pirates to take the lead, 40-30. An al-most even 18-16 in favor of the Pirates in the fourth, and the Bulldogs stole the win 56-48.

Zion youth ready for performancesA Pierce County-wide survey

has had its deadline extended to March 1 to make sure everyone that wishes to respond will have time.

The organization hosting the survey will be pre-senting the findings at the Pierce County Planning Commission meeting in March.

Those interested should navigate to w w w . p i e r c e -county2032.com and begin the 15-20 minute survey from the website prompts.

From the website itself: “Participation in this study will

require approximately 15-20 minutes of your time. The survey will consist of questions asking about your opinion of Pierce County area and other commu-nity issues. Please respond ac-

cordingly based on your ownpersonal experience.

There are no known risks ordiscomforts associated with thisresearch. Any information ob-tained during this study that

could identify youwill be kept strictlyconfidential. The in-formation obtainedin this study may bepresented to theleaders of PierceCounty, however,the data will not con-tain any identifying

information.” The survey itself asks opinions

on everything from the wants tothe needs of Pierce County as awhole – infrastructure, renew-able energy, road conditions,housing market – a wide rangeof topics.

It will take about 10-20 min-utes to complete.

County planning survey deadline extended

The March 1 deadline for any non-incumbent to file for open election seats this season will be coming up next Tuesday.

Anyone wanting to register to appear on the ballot for Plain-view Mayor, Plainview City Council, Plainview Board of Edu-cation, should visit with the City of Plainview offices or Pierce County Clerk’s office prior to the close of business on March 1.

Local filings for this Primary election cycle as of Tuesday, Feb. 22 included:

City of Plainview, Mayor, one seat available: Brian J. Schlote (inc.); Bob Smith (inc. on council); and Curtis Brand

City of Plainview, Council, two seats available: Bob Burriell, Cor-rine Janovec

Plainview Board of Education, three seats available: Wyatt J.

Frahm (inc.), Tim Rasmussen (inc.), Melissa Doerr

To be placed in the Primary election this may, a race must have “one more than twice the number of seats available” or it will be pushed through to the General Election.

As of Tuesday’s listing, the City of Plainview Mayoral race will be in the primary, but Council and Board of Education will both, ef-fectively, be automatically elected with the slate that has filed.

If one more file for the City Council and one more for Board of Education, the races will still proceed to the General Election in November, but any more fil-ings than that and they will be in the Primary.

Filing deadline nears for Primary Election

Youth at Zion Lutheran School have been preparing for a performance, “We Like Sheep” as written by Kathie Hill.

The group will be performing the pro-gram on two occasions, February 23 at 1 p.m., and on February 25 at 7 p.m.

The February 25 event will be open to the public.

From the performance jacket: “We Like Sheep” is based on the parable

of the 99 sheet. It follows the antics of “Grimey” who leaves the flock only to realize

that the Good Shepherd will leave the 99 just to find her.

As the remaining ewes and rams reflect on the love Jesus has for them, everyone learns that “no matter how ‘baaaad’ we are the shepherd loves us” and celebrates when Grimey is brought back into the flock.”

Cast members include: Grimey: Alaina Lingenfelter Shepherd: Jacob Berglund Wooley: Savannah Lingenfelter Whitey: Chloe Mullins

Ramsey: Josiah Barron Curley: Gracelynn Lingenfelter Ewenice: Nyomi Barron Blacky: Jake Fischer Little Ewenice: Giselle Barron Sheepy: Jacob Berglund Kindergarten Sheep: Finley Fischer,

UpdateLegislative

By: Senator Tom Briese District 40

In the legislature, we continue

to debate legislation on the floor in the mornings, followed by committee hearings in the after-noon.

In my last column, I described my LB 986, which we debated on the floor for several days during the last couple weeks. As you may recall, it would have placed a cap on the property tax ask-ings of school districts, of the higher of 2.5%, or the Consumer Price Index (the standard meas-ure of inflation). Unfortunately, even after I offered to amend it to further address some of the concerns of the education com-munity, it was trapped by a fili-buster, and failed to advance.

Following the 986 debate, we moved on to Senator Walz’s bill to inject additional state dollars into public schools.

Although I agree with the general concept, I had at least three serious concerns about her proposal, not the least of which was her effort to take away the dollars dedicated to property tax relief in the Nebraska Property Tax Incentive Act (sometimes re-ferred to as the LB 1107 tax credit), which my current LB 723 seeks to protect. After she asked that the bill be tabled in the face of considerable opposition, the Speaker suggested he would put it back on the schedule if we could reach an agreement.

I indicated to Senator Walz that I could be supportive if the

LB 1107 dollars are protected, ifit provides more aid to ruralschools than currently proposed,and if there would be a provisionin it (at least similar to what I pro-posed in 986) that would guar-antee the new dollars yieldproperty tax relief. We will seewhat becomes of it.

As of press time for this col-umn, we are currently debatingLB 939, Senator Linehan’s pro-posal to reduce individual andcorporate income taxes in Ne-braska. And although I continueto prioritize property tax relief, Ido believe it is important thatwe take steps to reduce incometaxes in our state as well. A com-bination of LB 939 and my LB723, which is on select file andwill preserve the LB 1107 dollarsfor property tax relief, is a pack-age that can put more dollarsback in the pockets of all Ne-braskans.

In the General Affairs commit-tee, we continue to discuss mybill that will set some parame-ters for the granting of newcasino licenses. I hope to havean amendment to be advancedto the floor soon.

We are at the halfway point inthe session, with a lot of workyet to do. Committee hearingswill wrap up on March 3, and allday debate will begin then. Asalways, I encourage you to con-tact my office with any com-ments or questions onlegislation and issues facing Ne-braskans. My office phone is(402) 471-2631, and my email [email protected].

WhirligigsWhirligigs were invented centuries

ago. They are both toys and tools, indicators of wind direction and the weather. Sources disagree on where the first were made; it was probably in China about 400 B.C. or by Native Americans about 550 B.C. The whirl-igig must have a spinning part and a base and many were made in fanciful shapes. The oldest known pictures of a whirligig were in tapestries made in medieval times.

There are many names and many shapes of whirligigs. Old sources call them pinwheels, gee-haws, whirlyjigs or whirlys. Vintage examples have waving arms, flags, angels’ wings, a man chopping wood, horses running and much more. They are also popular children’s toys or garden ornaments.

A political whirligig was sold by Garth’s Auctions in Ohio a few years ago. It is a figure of President Theo-dore Roosevelt with a top hat and monocle riding on a penny farthing cycle. Roosevelt served from 1901 to 1909, so it must have been made after 1901. He is holding a red counterbal-ance vane that turns the bike with the wind. The handmade whirligig sold at Garth’s for $865.

Q: I believe I have a pair of Apache wedding mocca-

sins. Apache Indians killed my great-grandfather in Bisbee, Arizo-na, in 1885. He was the deputy sher-iff. His gravestone reads, “Killed by Apache Indians.” I’d like to find the appropriate museum or collector that would be interested in them.

A: Indian moccasins can sell for several hundred dollars. Val-

ue depends on decoration, rarity and condition. Any information you have about the moccasins and how they were obtained adds provenance. Sev-eral museums, including some in Arizona, have collections of Native American items. Search the internet to find them. Those near the area where your great-grandfather lived might be interested in the connection to the local legend. If you want to sell the

moccasins, look for an auction house that sells Indian items. They can give you an idea of their value and sell them for you. Be sure to ask what their com-mission and other charges are.

***CURRENT PRICES

Basket, gathering, woven, split oak, two flattened arched handles, c.1885, 11 x 19 inches, $75.

Clothing, coat, fur, raccoon, full length, wrap collar, six brown buttons, cloth lining, label, Brooks Brothers New York, man’s, $140.

• On March 13, 1836, Texan Gen. Sam Houston begins a series of stra-tegic retreats to buy time to train his ill-prepared army, which consisted of 374 poorly equipped men. A month later, his newly trained army won a stunning victory against Mexico’s Santa Anna.

• On March 10, 1902, the U.S. Court of Appeals rules that despite his claims, Thomas Edison did not invent the movie camera. It did admit that Edison invent-ed the sprocket system that moved per-forated film through the camera.

• On March 8, 1917, the February Revolution begins when riots and strikes over the scarcity of food erupt in Petrograd. A week later, centuries of czarist rule in Russia ended with the abdication of Nicholas II. Vladimir Lenin returned home and took control of the Russian Revolution.

• On March 11, 1942, U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur abandons the island of Corregidor under orders from President Franklin Roosevelt. Left behind were 90,000 American and Fili-pino troops, who would soon succumb to the Japanese offensive. Only one-third of those left behind survived to see MacAuthur’s return in January 1945.

• On March 12, 1969, the London drug squad appears at house of Beatle George Harrison and his wife Pattie Boyd with a warrant and drug-sniffing canines. Sgt. Pilcher, the man behind the raid, was convicted of planting drugs in other cases and went to jail in 1972.

• On March 9, 1979, Major League Baseball teams are ordered by the MLB commissioner to allow equal access to all reporters. The order came after Sports Illustrated reporter Melissa Ludtke’s successful lawsuit for refusing her access to clubhouses at Yankee Stadium during the 1977 World Series.

• On March 7, 1988, representatives of the Writers Guild of America called a strike for all the union’s members. The five-month walkout was estimat-ed to cost Hollywood some $500 mil-lion, as many viewers began watching cable channels.

• Valentina hot sauce was named for the intrepid Valentina Ramirez Avi-tia, who at 17 posed as a man to join the Mexican Revolution. She made it all the way to the rank of lieutenant before being expelled upon the acci-dental discovery of her braids.

• American fashion model Jeremy Meeks’ police mugshot was so good that he got a modeling contract while still in jail.

• In 1524, a wooden statue of the Vir-gin Mary at Latvia’s Riga Cathedral was accused of being a witch. At its tri-al by water it was thrown into the Dvi-na River, where it floated, resulting in a guilty verdict — and burning.

• Missing a remote? Try looking where you last sat: A 2011 study found that 49% of the time it was in a couch, while 8% were found in the bathroom, another 8% in a dresser drawer, 4% in the fridge/freezer (your guess is as good as ours on that one) and 2% turned up outside.

• Twelve-year-old Rhiley Morrison swallowed 54 magnetic balls to see if he could get metal to stick to his stom-ach, as well as what they looked like when he went to the toilet. He survived the experiment after six hours of sur-gery and a two-week hospital stay.

• The wood frog can hold its urine for up to eight months.

• Violets can be smelled for only a few moments at a time because their scent comes from ionine, which shuts smell receptors off after simulating them. After a few breaths, the scent pops up again.

• In 2016, the Swiss city of Lausanne banned “silent disco” events because they were too noisy.
