The Falls City Library and Arts Center board and staff have announced a change in library hours starting Aug. 1. The new hours will be from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday. The library will be closed on Fridays to accommodate this change. Many requests have been made for morning hours and this is a means to meet those re-quests without additional staff. Patron visits will be posted and reviewed to see if the morning hours are favored. Please feel free to discuss this change with any member of the library staff, Hope Schawang, Kathy Kirkendall, Pat Deck-inger, Dianne Hinz and Matt Mullins, or board, Tim Heck-enlively, Sandra Hartman, Kim Oliver, Mimi Santo and Mike Dougherty.

New hoursat library;to be closedon Fridays

By Jim Langan Rainfall last Thursday night softened the earth that was moved Friday morning at the groundbreaking service for the new Wilder-ness Falls housing development at 31st and Barada Sts., which will be built over the next year with a planned completion date of July 2012. Paula (Benitz) Rhian, Development Director for EXCEL Devel-opment Group and a 1989 Falls City High School graduate, was the emcee for the event. EXCEL Development Group provides experienced, innovative development and management services specializing in senior living communities - retirement and assisted living - and affordable hous-ing. “I am a graduate of Falls City High, so it has been a fun experi-ence to get involved in a project in my home town,” said Rhian. Rhian introduced the guest speakers during the event, which in-cluded Mayor Tim Hersh, Lt. Governor Rick Sheehy and Nebraska State Senator Lavon Heidemann. Also, Janet Latimer, the President of Horizon Bank, and Tammy Ward, District Manager for Senator Ben Nelson, spoke brie y. Sheehy noted that Nebraska is doing much better nancially than most states in the country and it is because of the committed and dedicated legislators like Senator Heidemann who have kept Nebraska scally responsible and balanced the budget. “We (Nebraska) have continued to make smart investments and housing, particularly of this type is a smart investment,” said Shee-hy. “This development is a signi cant step forward in providing affordable housing to meet the needs of seniors here in Falls City.” Sheehy also commented on the design of the project with its heavy reliance on maintaining a “neighborhood” feel. “This development will create and maintain a sense of commu-nity,” Sheehy said. “Being part of a community is what makes Ne-braska a great place for families and residents of all ages.” Mayor Hersh noted the rebirth of the community he proudly serves. “It is indeed an honor to serve as your mayor and be part

By Jim Langan A urry of activity has been occurring three miles south of Falls City on Highway 73 in an-ticipation of the new Falls City Jaycees Community Field. Vol-unteers have put nose to grind-stone to ready the new arena for the annual Demolition Derby and Tractor Pull the weekend of Aug. 5-6. According to Jaycees’ Presi-dent Shawn Fouraker, the an-nual event draws approximately

Field dreamed, thengleamed at 11th hour

Work on the new Falls City Jaycees Community Field, located three miles south of Falls City on Highway 73, is nearly complete. At right, Rich-ardson Foundation representatives present Jaycees with $50,000 for the project. From left: Marc Morehead, Kevin Malone, Foundation President Steve Kottich, and Jaycees Tim Bailey, Shawn Fouraker, Becky Gossman and Jennifer Willman.

2,000-3,000 spectators per event and the net worth to the club is nearly $20,000, all of which is donated back to community and civic organizations in Falls City. City of Falls City employees and numorous volunteers have been working tirelessly since the third week of June, when Corey Snethen donated the plot of land for the new arena. There has been great support in mon-etary donations - the Richard-

son Foundation recently gave $50,000. “The 8.5 acres is worth $50,000 alone and moving the dirt and preparing the square would have cost approximately $25,000,” Fouraker said. Fouraker stated back in Feb-ruary at the DSA Banquet that the club would begin the search for the new arena and an esti-

mated timetable of four months work was approximated to get the arena ready. The group is set to complete most of the work by early next week, or in just a third of the time originally expected. “We hope to have all the big stuff done by next Tuesday,” said Fouraker. When asked how close the two events were to being can-

celed, Fouraker responded, “We were in a critical time. All our advertising and things like that were coming due.” Fouraker and the Jaycees are already looking into other events to host at the FC Jaycees Com-munity Field. A circus, hot air balloon show and more tractor pulls are among the events the group is already entertaining.

By Peter H. Gott, M.D. DEAR DR. GOTT: I can-

not thank you enough for the inspiration to lose weight. I started a life-style change a month ago and I’ve lost 15 pounds. I feel so much better, but I’m strug-

gling with bowel movements. I eat lots of fresh veggies and no fried foods, sugar, potatoes or white rice. The problem was that my bowels didn’t move on a regular basis. After I ate, I felt bloated and was miserable for days sometimes. I found a colon cleanser at my local health food store and now take one capsule twice a day and feel incredible, but the packaging doesn’t rec-ommend taking it for more than a week or so. I have a family history of colon cancer. My mother and two of her three siblings died of colon cancer. I also just found out that ve of my grandfather’s siblings died of colon cancer (he died at 91 of natural causes). I’m scared to death of getting it and want to keep my colon clean without hurting myself. Are colon cleans-ers harmful if I take the ones from the health food store that have all-natural products, espe-cially if I take them over a long period of time? I feel incredible when I have two or more move-ments a day. I haven’t felt this good in over 10 years. DEAR READER: Congratula-tions on your weight loss. How-ever, I am concerned about your

Long-term colon cleansing inappropriatebloating and constipation issues, especially given your family his-tory of colon cancer. You don’t give me your age, gender or any other medical history. How long have the bloating and constipation been an issue? Have you talked to your physi-cian about your concerns? Have you had a colonoscopy? Do you have any other health concerns or medical conditions? Do you take any over-the-counter or prescription medications? Constipation can be the result of benign causes, such as poor diet, lack of exercise or diet modi cation; moderate health concerns, such as obesity or ir-ritable bowel syndrome; and se-rious conditions, such as colon cancer. I urge you to speak with your physician. An examination, blood work and testing may be ordered. A referral to a gastroen-terologist may be appropriate. Readers who are interested in learning more can order my Health Reports “A Strategy for Losing Weight: An Introduction to the No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Constipation and Diarrhea” by sending a self-addressed, stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 U.S. check or money or-der for each report to Dr. Peter Gott, P.O. Box 433, Lakeville, CT 06039. Be sure to mention the title(s), or print an order form from my website’s direct link: www.AskDrGottMD.com/order_form.pdf.

DEAR DR. GOTT: I recently noticed that I have a hard, al-most bony bump on my right collarbone. It doesn’t hurt and I can’t remember doing anything to injure it. What could or would cause this? The right side is visi-bly larger (slightly) than the left. Any information on possible causes would be greatly appre-ciated. DEAR READER: Without be-ing able to examine you, I can-not begin to guess the cause. It may simply be a normal bony protrusion. Have you lost weight recently? If so, the bump may have always been there, but is now more pronounced because the excess fat and tissue have diminished. It could also be the result of an injury, medical con-dition such as Paget’s disease of the bone, cancer or more. Given that you don’t remember injuring yourself and it doesn’t appear to be causing any pain or other symptoms, it is likely a normal bone growth. Talk to your physician and request an X-ray just to be sure.

Armstrong Employees

A gathering of former Arm-strong employees is planned for 8 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 6, at the Family Connection restaurant in Auburn. All former employees are invited to attend. A similar gathering will be held at the same time and place on the rst Saturday in December.

“The American people may have voted for divided government, but they didn’t vote for a dysfunctional government.” “Compromise has become a dirty word” in Washington. What we have in Washington amounts to a “three-ring circus.” My favorite quotes from President Obama’s Monday night address to the nation.

Here’s another one: “Would you rather reduce de cits and interest rates by raising revenue from those who are not now paying their fair share, or would you rather accept larger budget de cits, higher interest rates, and higher unemployment? And I think you know the answer.” — President Ronald Reagan as quoted by Obama.

I’m sitting in front of my computer at the Journal of ce late Tuesday afternoon. By the time the paper is published, the “debt ceiling crisis” may have been temporarily resolved, allowing the United States of Amer-ica to pay debts already incurred. In other words, to pay our bills. But it is likely this resolution will be only temporary and we can all look forward to round two sometime early next year. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has stated his Number One goal is to make Barack Obama a one-term president. From here, it appears that is the case, the good of the country, most particularly those of us on the lower end of the economic scale, be damned. This is not governing. It is a most blatant demonstra-tion of partisanship — partisanship that has been swelling for years and now has come to this. How do we deal with the needs of our nation? We don’t. We simply oppose everything the President suggests, even if that risks putting the na-tion in default. We say “no” to any compromise, forcing the issue so that we get our way. And what is our way? Protecting exceedingly wealthy Americans and huge corporations at the expense of the less fortunate and elderly, who can get by on less. Remember when the discussion was all about jobs and bringing our economy out of a deep recession? Well, Mr. McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner, where are the jobs? Where are the jobs programs? And if the very wealthy are, as you say, “job creators,” why haven’t they created those jobs while enjoying historically low tax rates? How stupid do you think we are?

The President has advocated a balanced approach to the nation’s debt problems, which are very, very real. Substantial cuts and reform of Medi-care, Medicaid and Social Security over a 10-year period, major cuts in defense and other spending and what would amount to tax increases for the very wealthy and big corporations. It appears to me he’s gone way more than halfway in trying to reach a compromise. But compromise takes two, and one side has no interest. “The only reason this balanced approach isn’t on its way to becoming law right now is because a signi cant number of Republicans in Congress are insisting on a different approach, a cuts-only approach — an approach that doesn’t ask the wealthiest Americans or biggest corporations to con-tribute anything at all,” Obama said Monday night. In answer to the President’s address, Boehner accused Obama of cre-ating a “crisis atmosphere.” The debt ceiling limit has been raised count-less times for decades. The issue has never come to this point. So who is really creating the crisis?

I read an interesting column in The Washington Post, written by Dana Milbank and published July 19. His contention in the piece is that Ronald Reagan, the President so many are so fond of claiming as their model, would not stand a chance, especially with today’s Tea Party Republicans. As Milbank reported, President Reagan presided over 18 debt ceiling increases. Under Reagan, taxes were increased 11 times. The “cut, cap and balance” legislation served up by Tea Party Republicans and passed by the House (they claim in a bipartisan vote; something like ve Dem-ocrats voted in favor — now that’s bipartisan!), would cut government spending far below levels ever experienced under Reagan. Under the Tea Party plan, federal spending would decrease to a 1966 level. Milbank notes that Medicare was not fully implemented in 1966 and that Reagan signed a major expansion of the program in 1988. Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) is quoted in Milbank’s column: “In the year of his 100th birthday, the Great Communicator might be amazed at how far his own image has shifted from the original. He’d see his most dedicated followers using his name as justi cation for saying no to honor-ing our debts. He’d see his legacy used to play chicken with the world’s greatest economic engine.” Simply put, in today’s Tea Party, obstructionist climate, Ronald Rea-gan would not be welcome in the Republican Party, Milbank asserted.

Of course this nation needs to get a handle on spending and debt. Programs need to be reformed. We need major cuts in Pentagon spend-ing and more tax revenues. Loopholes in tax code should be eliminated. But solutions can’t come all at once. And they require some thought, not shoot-from-the-waist reactions. Leaders need to focus on the real problem in this country: unemployment and jobs creation. Until reason and com-promise are restored in Washington, we’re in big, big trouble.

Effective Aug. 15, 2011, the Beatrice Social Security of ce will be open to the public Mon-day through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. – a reduction of 30 minutes each weekday. While agency employees will continue to work their regu-lar hours, this shorter public win-dow will allow them to complete face-to-face service with the visiting public without incurring the cost of overtime. Congress provided Social Security with nearly $1 billion less than the President requested for the bud-get this scal year, which makes it impossible for the agency to provide the amount of overtime needed to handle service to the public as we have in the past. Most Social Security servic-es do not require a visit to an ofce. For example, anyone wish-ing to apply for bene ts, sign up for direct deposit, replace a Medicare card, obtain a proof of income letter or inform us of a change of address or telephone number may do so at www.so-cialsecurity.gov or by dialing our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213.

By Rod Vandeberg As I write what will likely be my nal article on the new “Falls City Jaycees Community Field,” I nd myself absolutely astonished at what this community has accomplished since it was announced in the Journal on June 23 that Cory Snethen and his children had do-nated approximately 8 acres of ground to the Falls City Jaycees so they could continue their annual Tractor Pull and Demolition Derby scheduled this year for Aug. 5 and 6. At the same time, the Jaycees generously announced their intensions to make this facility avail-able to other community fund-raising events. Following this nice announcement, I wrote “An Open Letter” to the community which was published in the June 30 Journal, and attempted to generate community support for “the second half of the story” . . . which included the need for $77,500 of community contributions for necessary site improvements, with a reminder that the project needed to be pretty much nished by July 31 . . . both major tasks to say the least! Well, it is now July 28, and once again this unbelievable communi-ty has proven that it is a monument of kindness, generosity, courage and bigness of heart with good deeds scattered everywhere!! These deeds came in both “ nancial” and “in kind” contributions from a multitude of individuals and businesses. FYI, nancial contributions have gone well beyond $100,000 and there were times when there was well over a million dollars worth of equipment working on the site at no cost! And then there were those who contributed fuel and many other things . . . and the story goes on and on! Yes, this story is amazing and one could almost write a book on its successes. The Jaycees are in the process of developing a nice 4’ X 8’ “Donor Board” which will, hopefully, contain all “Financial” and “In Kind” contributions through July 31. So, if you haven’t contributed and want your name on the Donor Board, you may still have time. I can’t promise, but we will attempt to include you. The Board will be up and on display for the Aug. 5 and 6 events. And, I, frankly, hope the 4’ X 8’ size will be large enough! As a prelude to the “Donor Board,” and in an effort to properly acknowledge everyone who has participated, the following are the names of “Financial” and “In Kind” contributors to date:

Financial Contributors $50,000 and over: The Richardson Foundation. $10,000-$49,999: The Rodney Vandeberg Family; SNC/SENT-CO/Towle Realty; Richardson County Lodging tax. $5,000-$9,999: First National Bank & Trust; Farm & City Sup-ply; Richardson County Bank & Trust. $1,000-$4,999: Dan Scholl Seed, Dan and Cathy Scholl; Brewer Farms & Fertilizer, Fred, Mark and Scott Brewer; Darin Davis; Ce-dar Hollow Foods; AirLanco; Whitetails Unlimited; Darrin and Kim Schawang; Pioneer Seed; Nutech Seed; Precision Ag Innovations; Falls City Pharmacy. $500-$999: Falls City Mercantile; Julie Bauman CPA; Prosser Family; Pack Rat/Ron Jordening/Breadeaux Pizza; Animal Health Center; Falls City Rural Fire Department; Andy Dunn/Golden Har-vest Seed; Rieschick Drilling; Hullman’s Ford Lincoln; Armbruster Motor Co.; 3 State Stockyards. $1-$499: Paul and Sarah Gibbs; Rich and Lani Little; Jim Sefried; Falls City Journal; Rodney Knaup; Stan and Stacey Duerfeldt; Del-mer and Debbie Gruber; Ray and Finck; Jones Air Conditioning; Double C Ranch; Monsignor Robert Roh; Straussville Grain; Al-bert Niedfeldt Memorial; Marty and Gail Froeschl; Brown’s Shoe Fit Company; Miller-Monroe Company, Inc.; Duerfeldt Dozing, Richard and Jan Duerfeldt; John and Barb Parrish; Home Lumber; WASP; Jerry and Linda Duerfeldt; Mike Castle Insurance; Mike Gilmore; Binkley Chiropractic; The Seeba Family; Leonard and Susan Rieger; Jones Transportation; W & D Auto Care; Neal and Marie Parsons; Stateline Ag; Bestway. In Kind Contributions: Falls City Sanitation; Halbert, Dunn & Halbert; Kevin Taft; Mike Weaver; Sapp Bros. 66; Ag Partners; T & R Farms; Johansen Drainage & Tile; Mezger Construction, Inc.; Tri-State Electric; County of Richardson; Snethen Farms; C & K Con-struction; Scholl Fertilizer; Triple S Construction; Brewer Farms; Rod Vandeberg; Farmer’s Repair Shop; Southeast Ready Mix; Merz Farm Equipment; Farm & City Supply Fischer Farms; Jackson Con-struction; Jim Hill’s; Stripes & Signs; City of Falls City; Moose Bletscher.

In conclusion, my friends, another miracle has just occurred in this great community as a result of many people coming together and working together! And please allow me to add one more com-ment which to me is very important . . . this project turned out to be an unprecedented and great partnership between city and rural, and that proved to be very, very powerful!! And while I am personally pleased and honored to have played a role in this great quasi Jaycee/community project, I am much more honored to extend my heartfelt “THANK YOU” . . . on behalf of THE FALLS CITY JAYCEES . . . to everyone who helped in any way! And, may this wonderful new facility become another one of this community’s “Crown Jewels” as the Jaycees continue to make planned site improvements, which will further enhance this facility and make it a “monument” for our future!

Post-jump photo. Larry Apel, left, and his experienced jumper, “very professional until after the jump.”

By Bill Schock After thinking about it for half a century or so, Larry Apel, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, took the bull by the horns. He made a parachute jump--just for the heck of it--at the age of 72. Larry is no stranger to the wide blue yonder. During his Air Force career, the former Falls Cityan now living in Lincoln had over 7,000 hours of ying time. It would be a good guess that during those 7,000 hours he was strapped in a parachute harness that--fortunately-- never had to be activated. There was nothing like the present to do things he had al-ways wanted to do, so Larry warmed up by going out to the Lincoln Airport and taking a ride in the B-l7 “Aluminum Overcast” which was own to Lincoln to provide short ights for World War II buffs. The day he ew, there were ve ights with l0 passengers aboard each ight. (The ights cost $399 for EAA members and $439 for non-members.) “It was a very noisy ight. We were able to walk around and go into the various compart-ments. I have over 2,000 hours in a B-50 so I was pretty famil-iar with areas but it was interest-ing and exciting to experience a ight in a WW2 vintage bomb-er,” Larry wrote to his email contacts. “Aluminum Overcast” is a restored B-l7 belonging to the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association), based at Oshkosh, Wis. Dennis Crispin of Hum-boldt is the Tour Event chairman of EAA Chapter 569, Lincoln.) In Larry’s own words, here is his account of the parachute jump: “Last week, after thinking about it for almost 50 years I scheduled myself to parachute out of an airplane. On Thurs-day I drove to the Plattsmouth airport to jump. (The Lincoln Sport Parachute Club hosts what it calls the Skydiving Boogie with a portion of the proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.) It was 93 degrees and over l00 degrees ‘feel like’ tem-perature. On the concrete ramp

At the age of 72, a parachute jumpjust for the fun of it

where we were it was probably about l20 degrees. “My jump was scheduled for 4 p.m but they were run-ning about two hours behind as there were clouds in the morn-ing. After waiting in the heat for two hours my turn came. I was going to make a tandem jump which means I am buckled to the front of an experienced jumper and we jump together using one parachute. Look at the attachment (the above photo) to see my experienced jumper. He looks a little different than I but he was very professional until after the jump. He put me in my harness and we proceeded to the aircraft. “In the aircraft were three tandem pairs of jumpers and around l5 solo jumpers. It was very hot in the airplane and we were really jammed in. As we were climbing to altitude I looked out and really thought about how this was not a very smart idea. We climbed to l4,000 feet and then the solo jumpers exited very rapidly. Then the next two tandem set of jumpers departed. “We then proceeded to the door and I jumped. I spent most of the free fall thinking I sure hope that chute opens--and it did. Before the jump, I made the

mistake of telling my jumper that I had over 7,000 hours of ying time. Now I was going to pay for letting him know, as he said we were going to spiral down thru some clouds. We spiraled to the left, then right, then left, then right—you get the idea. Then he said ‘Let me show you how we can climb with this parachute.’ I think he wanted to really give me a really exciting ride since I was such an experienced avia-tor. I nally told him that was about all the excitement I could stand in one day and we then oated gracefully down to good ole earth. “Maybe as time passes I will feel the urge to do it again. In-stead, Saturday I went to a day-lily ower show. Now that is more my speed. On Sunday then I went to visit several houses that the Daylily Society had set up for tours.”

Shubert Unit #222, ALA, met at the Shubert Library on July 12. President Eleanor Last called the meeting to order. The colors were advanced and Chap-lain Linda Patchen gave the opening prayer. There was a mo-ment of silence for the departed and then everyone repeated the Pledge of Allegiance. The Na-tional Anthem was sung and the ALA Preamble was recited. The meeting was declared con-vened. The meeting was turned over to Mrs. Patchen as Past County President. She installed the fol-lowing of cers for the next year: Tana Brown – president; Dona Hall – vice-president; Elizabeth Ketner – secretary; Lana Will-man – treasurer; and Eleanor Last – chaplain. Mrs. Patchen also gave the prayer for installa-tion. Roll call was answered by nine Senior members and one Junior member, Adelynne Mad-dox. Mrs. Ketner read the min-utes of the June 12 meeting. They were approved with the notation that Peggy Phillips dec-orated the Nemaha Cemetery for Memorial Day. Mrs. Willman gave the trea-surer’s report. Mrs. Hall has a ag for the Shubert ball eld, but it will be impossible to hang the ag until the rope has been replaced. Winning tickets for the raf e items the unit had for the pur-pose of raising money to assist with replacing the roof on the unit’s building were drawn by Miss Maddox. Mary Woodburn won the Longaberger basket, Heath Davis and Judy Bradley won the other baskets, and Mary Davis won an angel. The raf e took in $160: Mrs. Patchen made a motion that the unit add $40 to that amount. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Willman and it carried. The Department of ce wants all units to update their consti-tutions and by-laws. President Brown went over the unit’s con-stitution as presented by the De-partment of ce. Mrs. Last made a motion to adopt the constitu-tion as presented, seconded by Mrs. Patchen. Mrs. Ketner will type a fresh copy. All members were encour-aged to ll out a service-hours form which will be included in the unit reports. It has been some time since the unit’s books were audited. Gina Steele, Mrs. Last and Mrs. Ketner volunteered to audit the books. Committee assignments were chosen as follows: Girls State - Mrs. Last and Mrs. Ketner; Cavalcade of memories - Sherry Runnels; Past presidents parley - Mrs. Last; Poppies- Mrs. Steele; Education - Mrs. Brown; Legislative - Mrs. Ketner; Public Relations - Mrs. Ketner; VA&R- Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Patchen. Mrs. Steele and Mrs. Patchen assisted in serving the supper the evening of July 9. It was noted that Sandy

Shubert, wife of Post 222 mem-ber Ron Shubert, is now retired. Mrs. Brown will speak to her about becoming a member. The next meeting will be Aug. 9 at 4:30 p.m. at the Shubert Li-brary. President Brown closed the meeting. The colors were re-tired. Mrs. Patchen gave the closing prayer from Auxiliary magazine.

Falls City Utilities has repairs scheduled at the Water Plant in Rulo from Monday, Aug. 1, to Friday, Aug. 5, and those repairs will require some equipment to be taken out of service. This will result in somewhat higher hardness and iron in the water supplied to customers. The water will not pose any health threat and will be safe to use. With the possibility of a higher concentration of iron, us-ing bleach should be avoided if possible. The Water Department apolo-gizes for any inconvenience this process might cause for its con-sumers. If you have any ques-tions, please feel free to contact the Utility Department at 402-245-2724.

UNL Extension has been awarded $4.1 million from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture for a ve-year proj-ect addressing climate change and animal agriculture issues. Five other land-grant univer-sities are partnering in the project that will be facilitated through the Livestock and Poultry Envi-ronmental Learning Center. “A wide range of beliefs ex-ist about climate change and there are strong and varied reac-tions to proposals for countering global warming, which creates challenges for those involved in agricultural policymaking, prod-uct marketing and research,” said Rick Stowell, UNL Exten-sion engineer and the project’s director. “As often is the case, live-stock and poultry producers are in the position of having to prepare, to adapt and respond to conditions that might be im-posed on them -- whether it’s due to the potential impacts of more extreme weather patterns and other climate trends, or to prospective policies that may place attention on greenhouse gas emissions from their opera-tions,” Stowell said. Extension has a key role in facilitating and informing dis-cussions about climate change relative to animal agriculture, said Crystal Powers, UNL Ex-tension engineer and extension team coordinator. The overall goal of the pro-posed project is for Extension, working with partner organiza-tions, to effectively inform and in uence livestock and poultry producers and consumers of ani-mal products in all regions of the U.S. to move animal production toward practices that are envi-ronmentally sound, climatically compatible and economically viable, she said. A primary desired outcome is that stakeholder decisions re-sult in reduced greenhouse gas emissions without sacri cing America’s capacity to produce meat, milk, eggs and other ani-mal products.

The project will: -- Equip extension personnel and stakeholder representatives to assess stakeholder needs relative to climate change mitigation and adaptation and to deliver educational programs that target those needs; -- Provide web access to science-based information, educational re-sources and decision-support tools to stakeholder groups and the public on climate change related to animal agri-culture; and -- Coordinate efforts so information and resources are used appropriately at the state, regional and national levels. Other land-grant universities in-volved in the project include: Wash-ington State University, Texas A&M University, University of Georgia, Cornell University and the University of Minnesota.

By Phillip Lane, Hiawatha World On the television show, Star-sky was the dark-haired fellow, not the light-haired shaggy one. Despite that difference, this Starsky’s commitment is still to protect and serve. The four-legged Starsky has been 4-year-old Brock Graham’s constant companion since they rst started working together in May. Technically, Starsky is doing all the work. The 18-month-old dog is more than a simple pet. He accompanies the Graham family everywhere, to stores, restaurants and other outings as a seizure alert dog. Brock suffered his rst sei-zure in June 2009, an event that initially caused parents Keith and Mandy Graham to believe he had simply passed out. Af-ter a second seizure followed in January 2010, Brock was diag-nosed with general epilepsy. But the conditions got worse by May of last year. At one point, he suffered 18 seizures in 24 hours. Further tests and in-vestigation led to a diagnosis of Progressive Myoclonic Epilepsy or Doose Syndrome. The disease affects less than one percent of all epilepsy patients. This prompted a change in medication and a switch to a Ketogenic Diet, in which Brock eats three grams of fat for each gram of carbohydrate. After those changes, his seizures de-creased in both frequency and severity, though they still recur without warning. Or they did. On May 1, the Grahams ar-rived in Ohio to retrieve a sei-zure alert dog from 4 Paws for Ability, a company located near Cincinnati. Though seizure alert dogs are becoming more common, most organizations, including those in Kansas, have age restrictions on the children they work with and have two to ve year wat-ing periods. 4 Paws does not, though the tradeoff is a price that is roughly doubled, to about $13,000. The process could have proven fruitless without 4 Paws, because with another organiza-tion, Brock would not be avail-able for consideration until he

reaches the age of ve or six, and then could be waiting years until he received a service dog. Mandy said roughly two-thirds of children with Doose Syn-drome grow out of the disor-der before the age of eight, so Brock’s symptoms could disap-pear before he ever received an alert dog. The entire family, includ-ing younger son Gabriel, spent two weeks in Ohio training both at 4 Paws and in public places around tha area. “We went to the mall a lot,” Mandy said. There were over 100 dogs training at the facility while they were there, but only nine fami-lies were training in their two-week class. Starsky was chosen in Janu-ary to work with Brock, and the Grahams sent bags contain-ing shirts he was wearing at the time of a seizure to 4 Paws so

that Starsky could be exposed to them. Mandy said having Starsky around initially helped reduce the incidence of seizure events. Brock had nine seizure-free days in both May and June, but recently he has had an increase in incidents, up to ve per day, which has also caused trouble for Starsky. “We’re still learning, and Starsky is still going to make mistakes. He is a dog,” Mandy said. Starsky alerts to an impend-ing seizure by barking, and has been trained not to bark in other situations. Since coming home with the family, Mandy said he has alerted to about 75 percent of Brock’s seizures. The alert has consistently come two hours before a seizure. This allows them to get to a safe place and ensure Brock won’t be injured by a fall or other incident when a seizure occurs. Without any warning before, Keith and Mandy were required to watch constantly to ensure that Brock does not suf-fer an injury when falling due to a seizure. Mandy said Starsky’s behav-ior in public has been exempla-ry. When he is strapped into the nylon bands that mark his “uni-form” he knows to get to busi-ness. “We haven’t had any nega-tive responses here,” she said. “Around a small town every-body knows.” Away from the home, Brock and Starsky must be accompa-nied by a handler. Keith served as the primary handler in train-ing. Mandy said people often comment on the fact that there is a dog in a unexpected place, like a grocery store, but she has been told that after Starsky ap-pears from under a restaurant table, diners are surprised that a dog was on the premises. Around the house, Starsky is less businesslike. “He is still a dog and they do dog things,” Mandy said. “Once we got home a fence was neces-sary.” As a relatively young dog, Starsky is playful, but he still knows when to do his job. Dur-ing a seizure, he is trained to stay near Brock and sit on his lap. As Brock grows up, he and Starsky will build a stronger bond, attending school, slee-povers and other activities.

COBBLESTONE FESTIVAL

A Warbird ew into Brenner Field late Sunday morning. It was a World War II bomb-er, a twin-engine B-25 (Mitchell),

the same type of bomber the f a m o u s Doolittle’s Raiders ew off an aircraft carrier in April of l942 for the rst bombing of Tokyo and the rst retaliation for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, l94l, to launch the U.S. into WWII. “Devil Dog,” restored by the Commemorative Air Force, was on its way from Midland, TX, to the world-famous EAA AirVenture Oshkosh at Oshkosh, Wis., where it will be one of fea-tured World War II airplanes. The weeklong event is termed “The World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration” with l0,000-plus airplanes of every type ying in. The B-25 stopped at Brenner Field to refuel, taking on 450 gallons. The old bomber burns up about l50 gallons an hour and the crew gured they could make it to Oshkosh on what they obtained at Brenner. The airport’s long runway was more than adequate to handle the B-25. There were eight persons, including the crew, aboard “Dev-il Dog,” which was named after

‘Devil Dog’ descends on Brenner Fielda B-25 of that name own for 22 missions by Marine Corps pilots in the Paci c Theater

before b e i n g s h o t down.

“Devil Dog” is

based and hangared at Pilot’s Choice Aviation in George-

town, TX. The B-25s were manufac-tured by North American Avia-tion in Kansas City. The wartime medium bomber had a cruis-ing speed of 230 mph, a range of l,350 miles, carried 3,200 pounds of bombs, was armed with eight .50 caliber machine-guns, and had a crew of ve. Phil Chaffee, Brenner Field manager, said that over the weekend half a dozen or so airplanes bound for Oshkosh stopped at the airport to refuel.

Due to the problems caused by this year’s ooding, an extra Red Cross Blood Drive has been set up for Thursday, Aug. 4, from noon until 4 p.m. at O’Connor Hall, l8th and Fulton Street. The drive is being sponsored by Sacred Heart’s Student Coun-cil. Persons unable to donate to the Red Cross Bloodmobile stop at Prichard Auditorium on July 28 and 29 are encouraged to do-nate on Aug. 4. To set up an appointment, call Molly Chapple at 402-245-3650.

LINCOLN -- Whether from Alliance to Auburn, or Ogallala to Omaha, there is a never-say-die, hard-working attitude that unites Nebraskans. That atti-tude is exempli ed by the spe-cial way football is played at the University of Nebraska and the honored tradition of the Big Red walk-on program. Athletes from mostly rural Nebraska towns walk-on to play football for their home state without scholarships, some-times turning down scholarships to other schools, just to get a chance to perhaps one day make the team. The popular special, “Walk Ons: Huskers’ Edge,” returns to NET Television, airing Tuesday, Aug. 9, at 7 p.m. on NET1/HD. The program tells the story of the University of Nebraska’s foot-ball walk-on program, following the young men raised with Ne-braska values and dreaming of becoming Huskers and playing in Memorial Stadium. “Walk Ons: Huskers’ Edge” also airs Saturday, Aug. 13, at 12:30 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 14, at 6:30 p.m. on NET1/HD. “Walk Ons” looks at the his-tory of the walk-on program at Nebraska, including Langston Coleman, who in the early 1960s became the rst Husker walk-on

‘Walk Ons: Huskers’ Edge’ airs Aug. 9

Two of the most successful Husker walk ons: Jason Peter (top) and Joel Makovicka

when he joined Bob Devaney’s squad. The of cial institution

of the walk-on program began in 1973, the rst year of Tom Osborne’s reign as Husker head coach, because of a NCAA re-duction rule in the number of scholarships that could be of-fered. In addition to Coleman, for-mer Husker walk-on greats Jeff and Joel Makovicka, Jeff Jam-rog and Jason Peter talk about their walk-on experiences, and Osborne, current Husker coach Bo Pelini and sportswriters dis-cuss the past and present impact of the fabled program. Utilizing both vintage and contemporary footage, “Walk Ons” demonstrates how the walk-on players have contribut-ed to Nebraska’s success on the gridiron. What is consistently voiced throughout the program is how the walk-on athletes ex-hibit a hard work ethic, loyalty and the concept of never giving up -- attitudes representative of Nebraska’s tradition of blue-col-lar values.

“Walk Ons: Huskers’ Edge,” underwritten in part by Nebras-ka Of ce of Highway Safety, is a production of NET Television for broadcast on NET1 and NET-HD. NET Television is a service of NET. For a complete program schedule, visit NET’s website (netNebraska.org/television).

THE VILLAGE IDIOT MONEY BALL

By Jim Mullen Christian Lopez caught the home-run ball that Derek Jeter smacked last week for his 3,000th hit. When Lopez handed the ball to Jeter, sportswriters were shocked that the guy didn’t ask for any money. They acted as if Lo-pez returned a lost wallet lled with $150,000 in cash without even asking for a reward. Basically he did, according to some expert valuations. That’s right; experts say Lopez could have gotten as much as $150,000 for a used baseball. Funny story: Seconds after the ball was hit, it was listed on eBay for $1,999, even though it was not pos-sible for anyone other than Christian Lopez to have it in his possession. Six or seven of the baseballs were for sale by the end of the day. Not so funny story: Earlier the same week, a baseball fan fell over a railing and died while trying to catch a foul ball that retails for about $6. If he had been trying to catch the Hope Dia-mond, it wouldn’t have been worth it. Years ago I was watching “Antiques Roadshow” when a guy brought one of the appraisers an autographed soc-cer ball. The appraiser went on and on about how unique and rare the ball was and gave it a stratospheric price of tens of thousands of dollars. And it wasn’t signed by David Beckham or Pele or Mia Hamm, the only soccer players most of us have heard of. So why was it worth so much? Oh, did I forget to mention I was watching the original “Antiques Roadshow,” the British version? You couldn’t get 10 bucks for that ball at a lawn sale over here. The next week a cricket bat was appraised for thousands of pounds. Af-ter all, it was signed by Donald Brad-man. THE Donald Bradman! Oh, yeah, I’ve never heard of him, either. To tell you the truth, I thought the cricket bat was a piece from a broken butter churn. But, then, could you get more than a pound or two for Derek Jeter’s record-breaking baseball in London? So what are things like baseballs and autographs really worth if the price is so arbitrary? If a famous baseball came up at an auction, would you bid on it at all? If so, would you stop at $6? $50? $250? $1,000? Charlie Sheen once spent $93,000 on a baseball. Was that an early warning sign of celebrity akiness? Could you tell one baseball from another, a real signature from a fake? The ball with which Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in one game origi-nally sold for more than half a mil-lion dollars. When its authenticity was questioned, it resold for $67,000. And yet, it’s still just a basketball -- a bas-ketball you can’t even play with. What does the owner do with it? Hang it on the wall and stare at it as if it were a da Vinci? People are always complaining that athletes make way too much mon-ey. It sounds like collectors make way too much money, too. The only dif-ference is that no one’s talking about putting a salary cap on collectors. Or actors. Or team owners. An expert may say that a baseball is worth $150,000, but it’s not as if you can write that on a deposit slip and hand the bank teller a baseball. The hard part is nding the person who not only thinks the ball is worth that kind of money but also has that kind of money. I saw a commercial last night hawk-ing a baseball commemorating Jeter’s 3,000th hit. This is not the ball he hit, it’s just some $6 ball that says Jeter got 3,000 hits. It costs $49.99 and comes in a plexiglass cube. Autographed “by hand,” it costs $699.99. What does that mean, “by hand”? Does Jeter normal-ly use his foot? I might pay that for a baseball -- if it was also autographed by Christian Lopez.

The Peru State College Athletic Department has released the 2011 Bobcat Football schedule, along with the activities that will take place at the various home games. The Bobcats are now full- edged members of the Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC), one of the premier athletic conferences in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athlet-ics (NAIA). Of the Bobcats’ 10-game schedule, nine games will be played against HAAC foes. The lone non-conference opponent is Trinity Bible College of Ellendale, N.D. The Trinity Bible College Lions are an independent Christian school and play mainly NAIA competition. Four of the Bobcats’ conference foes landed in both the NAIA Football Coaches’ Spring Top 25 Poll and in the 2011 Victory Sports Network (VSN) Preseason 25. The MidAmerica Nazarene University Pioneers are the highest-ranked HAAC team in the pre-season polls. The Pioneers are ranked third in the NAIA and fourth in the VSN polls respectively. The Missouri Valley Vikings are ranked 11th in both polls while Baker University and Benedictine College (BC) are tied for 23rd in the NAIA poll. In the VSN poll, the BC Ravens are ranked slightly ahead of Baker at 17th, while the Wildcats are picked for 22nd. Two of the HAAC teams made the NAIA football playoffs last season. MidAmerica Nazarene University fell in the semi nals to Sioux Falls while former HAAC member Lindenwood Univer-sity bowed to St. Francis (IN) in the opening round. The VSN preseason poll ranks all of the 85 teams in the NAIA. The rest of the HAAC rankings include: 48th – Evangel University; 52nd – Central Methodist University, 56th – Peru State College, 70th – Graceland University, 72nd – Avila University, and 80th – Culver-Stockton College. Several special events highlight the Bobcat home schedule. At the rst home game, the 2010-11 Swenson Award winners will be recognized. The 2011 PSC Homecoming is scheduled for Sept. 24 with the theme of “Septemberfest.” A variety of events for Home-coming will be announced later. The 25th anniversary of the PSC Hall of Fame will be held Oct. 14 and 15 with the new inductees recognized at halftime of the football game on the 15th. Then, at the nal home game on Nov. 12, the Bobcat seniors and their parents will be honored prior to the game. Bobcat football Head Coach Terry Clark knows the ‘Cats have a tough schedule ahead of them. Clark said, “With the HAAC being one of the toughest conferences year in and year out, we know we have our work cut out for ourselves. We look forward to getting started on Aug. 14 and prepare for a new beginning.” The following is the 2011 schedule for the Bobcats with the opponents’ 2010 record in parenthesis following their name.

Four PSC foes in Top 25

Legion Seniors season ends The Falls City AL baseball season of cially ended Monday afternoon in Fairbury, the site of the B-1 district, when the FC Se-niors fell 3-0 to Hickman. The bats were cold all tour-nament for the Seniors, espe-cially in their two losses. In FC’s two losses, Monday to Hickman and in Saturday’s 6-3 defeat to Crete, the Seniors combined for merely six hits. Saturday Mitchell Harling, Josh Stoller and Logan Faller all went 1-3 at the plate. Trent Scheitel took the loss for FC going ve innings and he al-lowed eight hits and six runs, all

earned. Faller took the loss Monday against Hickman. Last Thursday, FC defeated Auburn 4-3 in their rst round district game. Faller picked up the win. He went ve innings and walked two and struck out two. Scheitel took the ball in the sixth and recorded the save. Scheitel also went 2-2 at the plate with 2 RBI. Allan Feek was also 2-3 at the plate with an RBI and Justin Chesnut scored three times. Falls City nished 4-0 against their rivals to the north. “We just couldn’t get the bats going all weekend,” said assistant coach Kory Huppert. “We didn’t get a lot of practice time at the Senior level.” FC had four players – Jake Babb, Feek, Scheitel and Ches-nut – who all missed practice time early in the season because they were away to college. “It’s tough when you don’t get that early practice time,” said Huppert. Falls City nished the year 17-10.

21st Annual

By Rod Vandeberg My dear friend of many years, Marlen Luff of Caldwell, ID, had a recent experience of a lifetime, which I just have to share with the community! Marlen, being an old UNL Varsity wrestler, traveled to the Na-tional Wrestling Hall of Fame induction ceremonies in Stillwater, OK, in late June. One of Marlen’s UNL teammates, Dan Brand, a heavyweight from Bellevue, NE, was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Incidentally, that UNL team was 17th in the nation. After his days at UNL, Dan won a Bronze Medal in the Olympics. Also present was a guy by the name of Rulon Gardner, who you may remember was an Olympic Wrestling Gold Medal Winner. Marlen says he is a really nice guy and even sent me a photo of Mar-len and Rulon . . . and, Marlen, you are not the good looking one! Thank you for sharing. It is always good to hear nice things about former Falls City residents and we are proud of you!

Exhibitors Welcome

Timothy von Behren,of Falls City, a junior at Concordia University in Seward, recently gave a pre-sentation at Christ Lutheran Church on his medical mission to Guatemala.

von Behren sees Guatemalan poverty rst-hand Tim von Behren, a junior at Concordia University in Seward, who plans to pursue a career as a physical therapist, gave a slide presentation at Christ Lutheran Church last week of his one-week Medical Mission trip to Guatemala in March 2011. The Falls City High graduate and son of John and Glenda von Behren, along with several other Concordia students, two physi-cians, a pediatrician, a professor, and a Spanish interpreter left on March 5 to deliver medications and provide spiritual support to poverty-stricken communities in Guatemala. The team gave medical care packages to families who came to the clinics in addition to pre-scribed medications and vita-min/mineral supplements. Fam-ilies who allowed the students to conduct home health assess-ments were provided with an additional protein supplement. The students played roles of both doctors and pharmacists at two sites during the week – one on the edge of a volcanic lake

and the other in a remote village high in the mountains. Before the families left the clinics, they were offered a Spanish-learned prayer. The families live in crude homes built along railroad tracks – very poor housing. Tim emphasized the importance of education in making any lasting lifestyle changes. He addressed the need for improved nutrition, effective sanitation methods, and a more ef cient use of resources in these poor communities. Tim relayed the current problems with the medical system in Gua-temala and why so many people there live in such poverty, but he also commented how despite the horrible living conditions, the children of these communities generally wear a smiling face. von Behren’s presentation was given during a meeting of the Falls City Chapter of the Concordia Guild of Seward. He was introduced by Ruth Groothuis. President Jan Huebner called the business meeting to

order after which Connie Row-land gave the devotion using a “Best Friends Forever” story from Guideposts, followed by a story written by Linda Bassler about her father and mother, Pas-tor Hans Carlson and his wife, and their last trip to the Holy Land where they unexpectedly ran into two of his sisters from Denmark vacationing in the same area. Roll call was taken with two guests, Glenda von Behren and Ramona Godemann, pres-ent. Minutes of the April meet-ing were read and led and the Treasurer’s report was given by Marleen Mehlin. The baked goods and craft auctioneers were President Jan and Connie Rowland after which the group enjoyed ice cream oats. The next meeting will be at 1:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17, 2011 at Zion Lutheran Church at Pawnee City, hosted by Pawnee City members.

LINCOLN, Neb. -- The Uni-versity of Nebraska-Lincoln’s industrial technology teacher credentialing program, the vic-tim of budget cuts a year ago, has returned in a new form with a new name, as a partnership with Nebraska’s community col-leges that will not add to UNL’s budget. “The program has been res-urrected in a new format. We’re open for business again,” said Mark Balschweid, head of UNL’s Department of Agricul-tural Leadership, Education and Communication in the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, where the new program resides. The program is dubbed the 2+2 Skilled and Technical Sciences Program. Southeast Community College and Met-ro Community College have signed agreements with UNL to implement the program. Other community colleges may follow suit. The developments come one year after UNL shuttered its program, which included an extensive shop area in Henzlik Hall, as part of $1.5 million in budget cuts. Even as they had to shut down the program, though, UNL of cials and others knew the need for industrial technol-ogy teachers across the state was still signi cant, Balschweid

UNL, community colleges collaborate on program to train industrial tech teachers

said. Tony Glenn, who coordinates industrial technology education for the Nebraska Department of Education, noted there are 576 industrial technology teachers in Nebraska schools. About 115 of those have more than 30 years of experience, so retirements are expected to create new openings over the next few years. Under the new program, stu-dents will attend SCC or Metro for their rst two years, getting their technical education and an associate’s degree. Then they’ll attend UNL for two years to learn the teaching component. They will receive from UNL a bachelor’s of science degree in agricultural education. “This approach takes advan-tages of the strengths of UNL and the community colleges,” said Dann Husmann, an ALEC professor who will coordinate UNL’s portion of the program. Glenn said it’s a great solu-tion to a serious problem. “This is a way to bolster our numbers (of teachers) and I re-ally think it’s going to be a way to get a very strong program going,” Glenn said. “With the strengths of the community col-lege system and the strengths of the ALEC department, we’re re-ally going to create some terri c teachers.” Glenn said what many

may recall as “shop class” has changed greatly with the times. “The technology is so dif-ferent, even within just the last 10 years,” he said. “And the students, if they’re going to be employable, need to understand the new concepts. They have to come into the workforce with a whole different type of skill sets.” For example, the use of computers and diagnostic tools make the automotive repair in-dustry very different than it was 20 years ago, Glenn said. In manufacturing and construction, too, computer technology has signi cantly changed the skills needed. Glenn said it’s important to note that while this program won’t have any new budget im-pact, since it will use facilities and instructors already at the community colleges and UNL, “it’s putting more on people’s plates. People need to under-stand that.” “This shows that the univer-sity is trying to meet the needs of the schools in the state and the needs of industry in the state by making sure we have a skilled workforce,” Glenn added. Glen Williams, dean of SCC’s Transportation and Man-ufacturing Division, noted that this new partnership with UNL is clearly a win for SCC, too. It marks a signi cant step forward from the past collaboration UNL had with SCC. For years, under UNL’s former program, UNL students received some techni-cal education at SCC in certain areas. “This gives us the opportu-nity to expand on that. We can blend them into our regular classes instead of trying to t separate classes in,” Williams said. Williams said he’s con -dent this partnership will result in teachers who are even better prepared to teach.

LINCOLN -- Take a trip to any grocery store and you will see entire aisles dedicated to ex-truded products such as cereals, snacks, pastas, pet foods, and pet treats. These products account for billions of dollars in annual sales worldwide. The Food Pro-cessing Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is present-ing an Extrusion Workshop Oct. 11-13 speci cally designed for the food industry. “The three day Extrusion Workshop is an introductory, hands-on workshop combining extrusion theory and techniques with pilot plant exercises empha-sizing real-world product devel-opment in a variety of food cate-gories. The workshop combines lectures and pilot plant demon-strations which allows attendees to learn, actively participate and observe extrusion equipment in operation,” explained Steve Weier, Food Processing Center general pilot plant manager. Wenger, located in Sabetha Kan., is a leading manufacturer of extrusion equipment. Experts from Wenger and UNL faculty and staff will present lectures and interactive sessions to work-shop participants. UNL is one of only a few universities that offer extrusion technology to the food industry and it is anticipated that food industry professionals from throughout the country will at-tend this workshop. The Food Processing Cen-ter is nationally recognized for its support of the food industry since 1983. The center has pro-vided technical and business assistance to hundreds of manu-facturers throughout the country and in many foreign countries. This in-depth knowledge and assistance to the industry has al-lowed them to develop a confer-ence speci cally targeted to the issues small food manufacturers encounter every day. Early registration is encour-aged for the workshop due to limited space. For more informa-tion contact: Jill Gifford, Food Processing Center, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 143 H.C.

of this project,” said Hersh. “Since my term began in De-cember, I have had the experi-ence of witnessing the rebirth of our city. “I cannot take credit for this advancement but I am pleased to be part of the positive chang-es that are taking place in and around our community.” Hersh noted the wind farm, industrial growth, and down-town revitalization and also thanked EDGE Executive Di-rector Beckie Cromer, EXCEL, the Falls City Chamber of Com-merce and the numerous others involved in the many projects. Senator Heidemann echoed Hersh’s comments, saying Falls

City has become one of his fa-vorite places to visit because of all the community improvement projects that have occurred since he took of ce in 2005. The Wilderness Falls devel-opment will include 16 town-houses. Fourteen of the duplex units will be two-bedroom and the other two will be three-bedroom units. The nished duplexes will be available for income-quali ed seniors age 55 and older, or families with at least one member age 55 or old-er. The two-bedroom units will rent for $425 per month and the three-bedroom units will rent for

$485 per month. The units will include all appliances, grounds maintenance and snow removal services, as well as being handi-cap visitable and adaptable. Rhian thanked several fund-ing partners who have invested in the development. Those in-clude the Nebraska Investment Finance Authority, which is pro-viding $3 million in affordable housing tax credits over the next 10 years for Wilderness Falls and the Department of Econom-ic Development. Other fund-ing partners include Midwest Housing Initiatives, a non-pro t organization that will be the co-owner of Wilderness Falls, FHL Bank of Topeka, Horizon Bank, Community Medical Center, the City of Falls City and Falls City EDGE.

Gov. Dave Heineman has reappointed Rod Vandeberg of Falls City to the State Highway Commission. In a letter dated June 13, Heineman wrote that Vande-berg’s appointment will begin on Sept. 14, 2011, and continue until Sept. 13, 2017. “Your knowledge and input are valuable and your service to the citizens of Nebraska is appreciated. Best wishes and thanks for continuing to serve,” Heineman wrote. Vandeberg was appointed to the Commission to complete a term, taking of ce on May 9, 2008. He served as chairman in 2010. “I enjoy the job,” Vandeberg said, while noting the funding concerns that have arisen with high gas prices, more ef cient vehicles and less fuel consump-tion, thus lower fuel tax rev-enues. Action by the Legisla-ture to enact a bill sponsored by State Sen. Deb Fischer “will help greatly,” said Vandeberg. The bill, which will take effect in 2013, will provide about $70 million annually to the Depart-ment of Roads through a one-quarter percent of sales tax rev-enues. “She (Sen. Fischer) did an excellent job.” The Commission was creat-ed by the Legislature in 1953 to insure citizen input in the plan-ning, design and operation of the state highway system. It acts as a liaison between the public and personnel of the Department of Roads regarding highway mat-ters. Vandeberg is the rst Com-missioner not from the Lincoln area to serve District 1. The Commission is made up of eight private citizens, each representing a highway district. Each commission is appointed by the governor and approved by the Legislature. Vandeberg said he is cur-rently researching “safety issues in my district.”
