West Nile Virus found in our area

By Ray KappelNews Editor

West Nile Virus is in the area.The Southeast Nebraska Health De-

partment recently tested mosquitoes in Richardson County and they were found to be carrying West Nile Virus.

SENHD covers Pawnee, Johnson, Richardson, Otoe and Nemaha Counties. They are allowed by the state one trapping station for mos-quitoes and this is in Falls City. They have a man there who does it on a regular basis.

That means it is likely in our im-mediate area as it is being found statewide, according to Lisa Bloss of the SENHD.

West Nile encephalitis is caused by West Nile Virus, a virus previously only found in Africa, Eastern Europe and West Asia. West Nile is closely related to St. Louis encephalitis virus which is found in the United States and to Kunjin virus which is found in Australia, some Western Pacific Islands and parts of Southeast Asia. People can only become infected with West Nile virus after being bitten by an infected mosquito, according to SENHD. There is no evidence that people can get West Nile virus from infected animals or people, or that people can transmit the West Nile virus to other animals, birds or people, SENHD said in a news release.

People over 50 years of age have the highest risk of developing a severe illness because as we age our bodies have a harder time fighting off disease. People with compromised immune systems are also at increased risk; however, anyone can get the virus. People with mild infections may experience fever, headache, body aches, skin rash and swollen lymph glands. People with more sever infections may experience high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stu-por, disorientation, coma, tremors, occasional convulsion and paralysis. If you have any of these symptoms

contact your doctor.Pawnee City Councilwoman Sandi

Corbitt-Sears has had West Nile Fe-ver. The West Nile Virus can cause the West Nile Fever.

She was living in Sterling at the time about 10 to 11 years ago when she was visited a friend’s house and got bitten by a huge mosquito. She woke up the next morning with aches and found her temperature to be ris-ing. When her temperature hit 102, she called the doctor in Tecumseh and it was 103 by the time she got there.

The doctor didn’t administer the test for West Nile Fever because it was costly, but he felt sure she had the fever as one of his physicians as-sistants had it the previous summer.

Fever is a way the body fights the bacteria as a high temperature makes the body a poor host, Corbitt-Sears said.

She said there wasn’t much they could do except supportive treat-ments like taking Tylenol to relieve the pain. She said her whole body ached, even her hair ached and her eyelashes ached.

To this day she gets random muscle soreness, though she can’t be sure it is connected to having the fever.

The SENHD advises people to avoid exposure, avoid being out-doors when mosquitoes are most active, especially between dusk and dawn. Make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens. Repair or replace screens that have tears other other openings. Try to keep doors and windows shut especially at night. Eliminate all sources of standing water where mosquitoes can breed, including water in bird baths, ponds, flowerpots, adding pools, old tires and any other receptacles. When outdoors, wear shoes and socks, long pants and long-sleeved shirt, apply insect repellent that contains DEET, picariidin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR 3535, according to label instruc-tions. Consult physicians before using repellents on small children.

Saying goodbye to veteran and motorcycle activist, Jimmy Wray

Ray Kappel/RepublicanLongtime motorcyclist activist and member of several veterans organizat ions, Jimmy Wray passed away recently. His celebration of life was Saturday at Wherry's Mortuary in Pawnee City. Members o f ABATE, a motorycle rights group and the famous Legion Riders were on hand to honor him. Tracy Seuss of Carter Lake stands with a flag as Wray's friends and admirers lined the area with flags.

RememberingAlan Richard

By Ray KappelNews Editor

Alan Richard lived a life of service to his community.

Richard died July 24 follow-ing heart surgery. A very large crowd gathered to fill the DuBois Community Building Friday morning to pay their respects and to cherish their memories of a man who left a big problem of how to replace him.

Attorney Joe Stehlik said it best when he said it would take five people to replace Richard, that his contribution to his com-munity was larger than one life.

Richard was born May 26, 1945, in Humboldt while his father was serving overseas in World War II. He was the son of Hartley and Lillian (Stalder) Richard. He graduated from Humboldt High School in 1963 and attended Peru St. College. He married Martha Kay Bock ( Martie) March 25, 1965 at Frieden’s Church in Bern, Kan. They had two sons, Joseph Allan and Jon Alan.

He worked for the gas com-pany in Papillion in his early life, becoming involved in his community, especially the fire department. Bob Olson of Papil-lion said Richard was one of the best firemen they ever had.

He and Martie voted for the country life eventually and moved to a ranch near Pawnee City, where he was known in several communities around Pawnee City.

Richard took a responsible and active interest in his community, sharing his ideas & ideals. His path to public service began in Papillion, NE in the 70’s when he served as President of the Chamber of Commerce, was on the Board of Adjustment for 2 terms and was a 20 year member of the Papillion Volunteer Fire Department. At the time of his death, he was President of Paw-nee County Development Cor-poration, Board Member of Five Rivers Resource, Conservation and Development Inc., Pawnee County Promotional Network, Southeast Resource Network, P4P, Southeast Nebraska Eco-nomic Development Association and Pawnee County Board of Adjustment. He was Pawnee County GOP Chair, a member of Pawnee City Historical Museum and a PCHS Booster.

Richard was always trying to improve Pawnee City and he led PCDC to back several projects that have brought a richer life to the people of this area.

Nelson officiated at the Memo-rial Service and read 1 Corin-thians Chapter 13, which gives a beautiful idea of what love is. Richard loved people in a big way. When he talked of his grandchildren there was an extra sparkle in his eyes.

Becki Smith spoke during the time open to the public and said Richard and Martie had done so much for the Pawnee City com-munity since they moved here in the late 1990s.

“He has touched so many,” she said.

To close the streets or not to close the streetsBy Ray KappelNews Editor

Harvest Bash is coming in October, and most everyone wants a crowd of people here for the celebration. Should they close the streets or leave them open, is a question that is often asked when there is an event downtown.

The businesses in town like having their stores filled with customers, but they don’t want parking for the celebration to hurt their business. Last year, much of the parking for Nider’s Thriftway was taken up with people not necessarily interested in buying grocer-ies. The people who wanted to buy groceries had to walk a couple of blocks. Also, there is

the safety factor with streets open. We are all afraid of an accident with so many people in so small an area.

Councilman Charlie Hatfield started rais-ing the issue this year long before we get to Harvest Bash, the issue of closing the streets. Should we close all the streets around the square, or leave some open for the busi-nesses?

And if we close some streets and not others are we showing favoritism toward a few?

Hatfield doesn’t think all the streets should be closed, but if they did it would show no favoritism.

Subway and True-Value Hardware owner Marie Glenn came to a recent City Council meeting to voice her opinion. She pointed

out that Subway only allows their franchises to close three days a year, so she must stay open. She doesn’t want the street in front of her stores closed for that reason. She also wanted three parking stalls be designated for her customers. The other businesses along that street are usually closed on Saturdays.

Harvest Bash organizer Nanette Hatfield said three activities at the celebration require use of the streets: the classic car cruise-in; the giant pumpkin weigh-off; and the antique tractor and machinery show.

“Though we had lots of positive comments after the Harvest Bash last year, many men-tioned that it was kind of spread out and that it would be nicer if the pumpkin weigh-off and the stage weren't so far away from the other

activities. With this in mind, the committee plans to have the pumpkin weigh-off on the street east of the courthouse this year, and we would like to have the stage and entertain-ment just north of the courthouse,” Nanette Hatfield said.

One problem they are trying to fix was the bike registration. Last year it was held at the courthouse and this year it will be moved to the school lunchroom this year to free up some downtown parking spaces, Nanette Hatfield said.

Charlie Hatfield wants public input on the issue. People can email ideas or suggestions to pcityhall@neb.rr.com or regular mail to City Hall in Pawnee City.

Scouts slap on the paint

to beautify schoolThe Boy Scouts Troop 322 is do-

ing good work again.They have been sprucing up the

Pawnee City High School area, re-painting benches, the time capsule, and the planter boxes.

They began last Wednesday night and finished Friday night. They planned it for a couple of weeks, noting how much paint and other supplies they would need.

Joel Cabrera is in the group of Scouts and is working on his Eagle Scout Award. The Scouts use this project as part of their community service work.

Cabrera is only one merit badge from it plus finishing his project. He also has to accomplish an Eagle board of review.

He is 17 and a junior. He is active in sports music and drama. He is a very kind and caring young man,

and likes being helpful.

Scouts gives Cabrera a chance to learn so many skills to become a well-rounded person. He also p i c k s u p b a -sic outdoor and camping skills which is some-thing he enjoys. He has made many friends in the process.

Each Eagle candidate has to sub-mit a project and receive approval. It should benefit a church, school or community group in some way. Scoutmaster Kristi Robison said “We chose the beautification project because school has always been

very important to us and it has such a big impact in Pawnee City.”

Pawnee City Superintendent said, “We recognized that some areas around our campus needed some cosmetic work. A fresh coat of paint and some simple restoration can go a long way to sprucing

things up. We need to maintain our facilities so that we have a space for our students that we all can be proud of. What we wanted to do required quite a bit of labor so we partnered with the local boy scouts, who are always looking for ways to provide service to their community,

to arrange for them to come and provide the labor. We’re very grate-ful to Alan Smyth and the scouts, particularly Joel Cabrera who chose this as his Eagle Scout project, for giving back to their school and community.”

The Pawnee

The purpose of the first part of this column is to mention things that may have been observed around the town or area, and to inform those readers who live out of the area of changes.

Since my computer will be out of service for a while, this is a pre- written column, and there will be no “observing” this week.

Now that’s not exactly true, for I observed a small lizard or salaman-der coming into my porch! I don’t think I have seen one of those in 50 years. He, or she, (how does one tell?) was four or five inches long, or about the size of the geckos in Florida. He was not to be discour-aged, and I was just grateful he didn’t desire to come into the house.

I shall miss the other ‘livestock” that inhabit the acreage.

I never was fond of the many, many opossums that frequented the porch, and I had a healthy respect for the raccoons that were determined to stare me down, and defiantly keep on pursuing whatever food or course of action they had in mind.

The various skunks were most reasonable, because the only bad odiferous ones bombed west of the house.

I shall always remember the huge gentle skunk with the salt and pep-per tail. There was no stripe to him (or her); he truly had very tall and bushy salt and peppered colored tail.

Each night at about 10, this woods kitty would appear coming up the sidewalk from the south, with Silly Sally (the dog) escorting the skunk, tail wagging.

They had a mutual admiration society going on.

The skunk would go into the porch, dine, or snoop around, and leave the same route each night...

around the house to the north and on to the tim-ber. He had even worn a path!

If I arrived home near tha t hour, I w o u l d s h i n e t h e headlights toward the porch and wait a while to be sure I didn’t have a memora-ble encoun-ter. Several times I sat out the skunk dinner hour in the car.

Also to be missed are the deer that sauntered up the driveway, or across the front yard. And the turkey hens that raised broods in the brush and trash pile.

For the first time in these 46 years there will be no dogs or cats here. There are oodles of stories about the domesticated animals, but maybe another time when I’m reminiscing.

I shall miss the awesome view of the sun rises and the sun sets from this hill!

The first morning after we moved here in March of 1969 my husband, Richard, took me outside and sang the song, “Mocking Bird Hill” as the sun was just rising in the east. Ya can’t beat a memory like that!

On the other end of the day, the nights out here away from most city lights, give a gorgeous view of the stars and the moon. And to make this August more memorable for me, there are two full moons during this August.

Those will be visible no matter where I live.

Aaric Sterup would rather be cooking

than bakingBy Ray KappelNews Editor

Aaric Sterup likes cooking over baking because you can take any-thing and make it your own. You can add and subtract because cook-ing is not an exact science. He said baking is exact because if you don’t follow directions closely you can alter greatly the outcome of what you are baking.

He is 31 and lives in Tecumseh. He commutes to Lincoln to work for the Gallup Poll.

He is this month’s Cook of the Month.

He got his start at a very young age cooking around the house and then cooked at Pizza Hut and was a dish washer at Frazier’s. He learned by watching Larry Frazier cook.

He was working at a eating place in Tecumseh when a couple of bartenders he worked with decided to move to Colorado. They told him they were hard up for cooks in towns like Parachute, Colo., a gas and oil boom town. Grand Junction is about 60 miles further west.

“It’s a little bigger than Tecumseh but it has a lot of traffic,” he said.

He got a job as line cook at the White Buffalo in Parachute. He worked his way up and sort of fell into the executive chef position when someone they hired for that position didn’t work out. They let him do it and he did well and got to keep the job.

He was there for five years and had about eight people under him. Before 2009, he made about 150 lunches and 200 dinners a day. Things started to die out after 2009 when the oil boom started to go bust.

Sterup still likes to cook and he hasn’t taken another cooking job because they often want him to start out as a line cook. He’s been there, done that.

Cooking for a group of eight friends and family is still a treat for him.

Soups and steaks and anything slow cooked are his specialties. He has had the experience of being

applauded for his cooking, a couple of times people demanded not just asked for the recipes.

He chose three recipes for us. His Crab Stuffed Morel Mushrooms have a more earthy flavor to match the morels when they are in season. He adapted this recipe for one he used for button mushrooms. The rosemary and thyme scalloped potatoes he made on the fly for a catering job. The last recipe is a pork shoulder roast.

Crab Stuffed Morel Mushrooms recipe

1/2 lb morel mushrooms1 roasted red pepper, diced1 roasted green pepper, diced12 oz lump crab meat1/2 white onion, diced2 tbsp lemon juice (approx one

lemon)2 tsp salt 2 tsp black pepper2 dashes Worcestershire sauce1 tbsp sriracha

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Pre heat oven to 425. Place halved mushrooms on a baking sheet and brush with garlic butter. Spoon stuffing mixture into mushrooms and bake 12-15 min-utes. Transfer to plate and drizzle hollandaise sauce over mushrooms and garnish with fresh chopped parsley

some basic hollandaise sauce reci-pes can be found here:http://www.food.com/search/hollandaise+sauce

Note that these amounts are an approximation as I do not usually measure things out. If you do not have morel mushrooms buttons or other types can be substituted but generally take a little bit longer

to cook. If you don't want to go through the trouble of making your own hollandaise sauce I suggest custom culinary sauce as is it much better than the powdered stuff you can get at the store.

Rosemary and thyme scalloped potatoes

10 Large russet potatoes 1 tbsp chicken base 1 small clove of fresh chopped

garlic1 tsp of coarse black pepper ½ tsp white pepper 1 tsp onion powderapprox 1 ½ tsp rosemary approx 1 ½ tsp thyme

1 quart of heavy whipping creamPre heat oven to 425. Slice pota-

tos thinly and submerge in water for about 10 minutes. Mix all ingredients together except for the rosemary and thyme. Layer potatoes in a 2 quart baking dish. Once the bottom layer is covered drizzle heavy cream mixture over potatoes. Lightly sprinkle rosemary

Changing the culture of corrections a welcome idea, but is it doable?

Changing the culture of the Nebraska Department of Cor-rectional Services is a necessary and daunting task that could take some time.

I applaud new director Scott Frakes for initiating the process by scheduling a survey of ran-dom employees while promising anonymity. Let's hope that works. Let's hope even more that the attitude change starts from the top down.

Frakes has characterized the situation as a culture of fear. The stories we get are of guards “forced” to work overtime for fear of retribution. Their higher-ups say the overtime is necessary because the 13 institutions in the system are short-staffed. They are short-staffed because people hear the stories about staffing and overtime.

Prisons, not unlike the police agencies that are respon-sible for rounding up the very folks who often wind up on the other side of the bars, are para-military organizations. Guards answer to sergeants who answer to lieutenants who answer to captains who answer to wardens who answer to the director who answers to the governor.

There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with that struc-ture except that it tends to promote a culture of fear. Written or not, each level has its quota system and the people working at each level know what they have to do to succeed, or advance in the organization. The same is true – to an extent – in other government agencies and the corporate world. Who among us hasn’t had a fearful moment in our working life.

But, it’s a different problem in corrections where the product is not merchandise or sales or service. The product is people, people who have been stripped of their freedoms and are at the mercy of the system and the people who run it. The guards and officers have to have a certain amount of apprehension hanging out every day with some of society’s worst. No doubt that leads to some attitude problems on both sides of the bars.

Kudos to Frakes for wanting to understand the staff. He knows the system because he worked his way up the ladder in the Washington state prison system. Surely he remembers his days as a guard and an officer on his way to the top. He should have some idea of how the people he wants to interview think and react.

Governor Pete Ricketts’ chief human resources officer will lead the study. Frakes says about 300 randomly selected staff will be interviewed. I’d be more comfortable if an independent person or group was leading the way. Remember how you felt

when you got called to the principal’s office where good things rarely happened? And to whom does the human resources officer answer?

For that matter, to whom does the governor answer? The people? And how do the people have any say beyond the ballot box? The Legislature? Well, we all saw how well that worked out during the governor’s first session with the 49 who were elected to represent the views of Nebraskans.

Frakes says the state Department of Health and Human Services will design the interview and staff from the de-partments of revenue and labor, administrative services and the Nebraska State Patrol will do the interviews. No one from the Corrections Department will interview staff.

That’s a good start, but these are all folks who answer to folks who ultimately answer to the governor. What’s to say that the culture of fear doesn’t exist in this situation as well? Who will do the analysis of the collected data? Who will interpret it?

How about the inmates, the people on the other side of the bars who are also affected by this culture of fear. Where is their voice? Wasn’t that lack of being heard one of the things that caused the recent riot at Tecumseh that left two inmates dead and hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage?

Would it be that difficult to interview 300 inmates? Would it be out of line to have the information analyzed by independent psychologists and sociologists?

Will the information be released in a written report presented to the media by the governor and the director? Or will it be explained in a series of statewide town hall meetings with the families of inmates and prison workers invited to participate in question and answer sessions.

It’s a great idea to try to change the culture, Mr. Direc-tor. But don’t do a superficial job and tell the rest of us it feels better. Show us something.

Fair memories

The county fair was the high-light of the summer when I was a kid. Sis and I worked all sum-mer long to earn money for the fair. Of course, w e w e r e w o r k i n g for our dad s o w e ’ d have done it anyway; b u t D a d paid us.

We were pretty lit-t l e w h e n we started w e e d i n g beans. At that time, a hoe was your best defense against weeds that had the audacity to grow in the rows. The weeds that grew between the rows of beans would be taken out with the cultivator, but you had to walk the field to get the weeds that grew in the row with the beans. Nowadays, the chemicals get the weeds better and the beans take the chemicals better; but when we were six or eight years old, you had to walk the beans.

Going to the field with Dad was fun for us – when we were six and eight years old. We loved going along with Dad and the fact that we had to handle a hoe hardly slowed us down at all. The hoe handle was taller than we were, but it is a light-weight instrument and it made us feel really grown up to be allowed to use it. (It didn’t take too many years for this feeling to fade.)

Dad paid us a quarter an hour to walk beans. We were pretty impressed to be earning our own money and Dad told Mom that the quarter an hour was a gift. He was right. I can remem-ber those days. The idea was to walk between the rows of beans and either pull or chop out all the plants growing there that weren’t beans. Sounds simple.

Sis and I were proud to be helping. We carried our hoes like Legionnaires doing “shoul-der arms” and we walked down those rows as fast as we could go without breaking into a jog. We did stop every now and then to chop out a weed (chopping out as many beans plants as we did weeds). When we got to the end of the row, we would sit down together in the shade of the beans and wait for Dad to catch up. For some reason, probably because he was “old”, Dad was always the last one done.

By the time we were done weeding beans, we had “earned” about four dollars for the fair. We thought that was a lot and we plotted and planned how we were going to spend that money – every quarter of it. Being smart consumers took some time and we meticulously planned how every quarter would be spent. We were a lot more careful about spending our money than we were about earning it.

Those days are long gone now. I don’t really miss walk-ing beans, but I do miss doing things with my dad. He didn’t try to lie to us and make the work seem like fun – but he showed us that hard work was honorable. Even though we didn’t start out working very hard, we did get used to the idea that it was our job to go to the field with Dad. Then, as we got older, we gradually figured out the working part of the job.

Those were my “good old days”. My dad would talk about his “good old days” and make sure we knew that those days weren’t really so good. Work was harder and comfort was in short supply.

The comfort was in knowing that my Dad was taking care of business the right way. We weren’t living in Depression days and I had no reason to feel that my failures could cause us to lose the farm. Dad was strong enough to carry us – literally and figuratively.

Best of all, Dad knew that after the work was done, there was a time for play. Fair time was always that time. I enjoy the fair now – but I always remember the fairs back in the good old days.

Rural Ramblings

By Carol Sisco

Congressman Adrian Smith

Barriers to quality health careOne of the greatest challenges we

face in our country, especially in ru-ral areas, is access to quality health care. Unfortunately, the President’s health care law and the continuous flow of red tape from federal agen-cies continue to threaten the ability of Americans to receive the care they need.

More and more Americans are los-ing their insurance due to the failure of Obamacare CO-OPs. Though misleading, the term “CO-OP” in this context stands for the Con-sumer Operated and Oriented Plans created by the President’s health care law. The CO-OP program was included in the law to provide low-cost government startup loans for new insurance providers, but it has quickly become yet another broken promise of Obamacare.

CoOportunity Health, the CO-OP which served Nebraska and Iowa, was the first to collapse and left more than 80,000 Nebraskans again searching for insurance. When Tennessee’s Community Health Alliance faced potential insolvency a few months later, the CO-OP received permission to suspend enrollment. For unknown reasons, CoOportunity Health was not allowed to do the same. I am still working to get answers from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as to why this hap-pened and am disappointed in the lack of information I have received.

Last week, the Louisiana Health Cooperative announced it was dis-continuing insurance policies and

would not offer coverage in 2016. This latest failed CO-OP will leave 17,000 Louisiana consumers with-out insurance at the end of this year.

Millions of Americans lost their insurance after being told they could keep it, and now many are losing coverage a second time after trying to comply with the law. I have introduced legislation to ex-empt CO-OP customers, including Nebraskans who purchased policies through CoOportunity Health, from paying Obamacare’s individual mandate penalties if they lose cov-erage. No one should be penalized under a law when the law’s own failures prevented compliance.

To bring more attention to this issue in Washington, I hosted a briefing for congressional staff this week on Obamacare CO-OPs. With a panel of health insurance experts, we discussed the background of the CO-OP programs and signifi-cant concerns about their financial stability. This program has already received two billion taxpayer dol-lars, and there are currently no in-dications these loans will be repaid.

Though the President’s health care law remains one of the top threats to quality care, other regulations from Washington are impeding providers’ ability to make decisions in the best interest of their patients. The House Ways and Means Health Subcommittee, on which I serve, hosted a productive hearing this week on rural health disparities. I had the honor of inviting Shannon Sorensen, CEO of Brown County

Hospital in Ainsworth, to testify about the impacts of onerous regu-lations stretching the resources of rural hospitals.

To help ensure access to quality rural health care, I have intro-duced two bills with bipartisan support. The Critical Access Hospital Relief Act, which now has more than 70 cosponsors in the House, would remove the burdensome 96-hour precer-tification requirement for patients at Critical Access Hospitals. This unnecessary rule forces provid-ers to put regulatory compliance above patient welfare when making medical decisions. Additionally, I have introduced the Rural Health Care Provider Relief Act to delay physician supervision requirements which make delivering care diffi-cult in rural areas with few doctors.

As Congress works to address our country’s health care challenges, I am hopeful my rural health bills will move forward soon to give our providers the flexibility they need to best serve all patients. Ameri-cans face many barriers to qual-ity health care, but I will continue pursuing patient-centered solutions while fighting red tape and failed policies.

A shocking lack of compassionMany of you have been follow-

ing the horrible revelations in the news about Planned Parenthood. The footage detailing their callous role in the harvesting of baby body parts is alarming and potentially illegal. Moreover, comments on these videos stating that certain doctors are intentionally altering the method of abortion by moving bodies within the womb to obtain organs suggest a clear violation of the law.

Americans are right to be out-raged by the lack of compassion for these women and their unborn children. This is an organization that receives over half a billion dollars in taxpayer funding each year. Something needs to be done.

Throughout my time in public service, I have been committed to supporting common-sense, pro-life measures that offer compassion for women and unborn children in difficult circumstances.

Nebraska was the first state in the country to pass a 20-week abortion ban, which I supported as a state senator. That legislation passed by an overwhelming vote of 44 to 5. Pro-life and pro-choice senators came together and supported the bill because it was good policy.

In the U.S. Senate, I am a co-sponsor of a similar bill, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. According to numerous stud-ies and medical experts, this is the point at which unborn children are capable of feeling pain. The major-ity of the American people support limits on late term abortions. This reasonable policy adopted by the Nebraska legislature should now be adopted at the federal level.

Meanwhile, the Planned Parent-hood scandal deserves decisive action. We must put an end to these horrific practices. For this reason, I joined Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa

and several of our colleagues to introduce legislation that would halt funding for this organization. Our bill would ensure that taxpayer dollars are redi-rected to state and local health departments, c o m m u n i t y health centers, and hospitals that provide women’s health care services. The services inc lude, but are not limited to : d iagnos-tic laboratory and radiology services, well-child care, prenatal and postnatal care, immunizations, and cervical and breast cancer screenings.

In Nebraska, there are six feder-ally-qualified health centers and 36 clinic sites that have served over 64,000 people. From Omaha to the panhandle these centers provide care across our state. Ultimately, our bill directs federal funding where it should be: supporting women’s health, not Planned Par-enthood.

Targeting this funding is not enough. Planned Parenthood’s ac-tions require a thorough and care-ful investigation. For that reason, I recently joined 49 of my Senate colleagues in a letter to HHS Sec-retary Burwell, drawing attention to the legal, ethical, and policy issues raised by these videos. In our letter, we called on Secretary Burwell to cooperate with ongoing and future investigations into these practices.

I hope you will continue to follow this issue and voice your concerns as we move forward.

U.S. Senator Deb Fischer

Letter to the editorMedicare

the cornerstone of retirementMedicare is a cornerstone of

retirement security for millions of retired Americans. It provides guaranteed health coverage to nearly every senior in the country. Medicare celebrates its 50th birth-day, however, the program finds it-self under threat like never before. Politicians in Washington like Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio are pushing to privatize the program and end the Medicare guarantee by turn-ing it into a privatized "premium support" system.

Let's get one thing clear: When politicians talk about "premium support", they are talking about ending Medicare as we know it

They are talking about denying retirees health coverage, shifting costs to seniors, and throwing mil-lions of people into poverty.

These kinds of changes are not aimed at doing what's best for our nation's retirees. They are meant to line the pockets of giant insurance companies at the expense of older Americans. With a half-century track record of success, Medicare must be protected from the likes of Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio. The health of our nation's seniors is too important.

Sincerely yours,Ronald T. Oates

"Cross Walk" entertained at Presbyterian ChurchIt was a well-attended program

Sunday afternoon at the Presbyte-rian Church in Pawnee City of area music lovers who came to hear a mixed quartet and a pianist, all from this area.

Cross Walk, a gospel singing quartet pleased the audience with selections of familiar songs, often with a different rhythm and chord make up.

Tenor Allyn Remmers explained the name Cross Walk. The Cross is because most of their selections are religious. Walk comes from the first

letter of the their names; W - Will Behrends, who sings bass; A for Allyn. L is for soprano Lisa Othmer and K is Kim Butler, the alto.

Among the familiar songs on the first segment were “Surely the Pres-ence of the Lord is In This Place” Well-known hymns but with dif-ferent rhythms, and chord makeup were “ Little Brown Church”, “Blessed Assurance and “Lord, Listen to Your Children Praying.”

Sunday School type songs were “Do Lord”, “This Little Light of Mine”, and “Jesus Loves Me” and

the ever popular “Let us Have a Little Talk with Jesus. “Some where over the Rainbow and “It’s a Won-derful World” were crowd pleasers.

Midway in the program Eric Biehl, pastor of Salem’s United Church of Christ, played a piano solo prefaced by an explanation of how the song came to be. In sum-mary he stated it is in brokenness we find faith. He said his selection was simple called, “Prayer”. It was aptly titled.

The concert was sponsored by the Pawnee County Arts Council.

Free and reduced price lunch program eligiblity rulesThe Nebraska Department of Education’s Nutrition Services office has announced the Income Eligibility

Guidelines for free and reduced price meals for persons unable to pay the full price of meals served under the National School Lunch, Breakfast, Special Milk and Child and Adult Care Food Programs.

Participating schools, child care and adult care centers have a copy of the policy, which may be re-viewed by any interested party.

Application forms are being given to all households with a letter to parents, guardians or adult partici-pants. To apply for free or reduced price meals, households should fill out the application and return it to the school or agency. Additional copies are available from the school principals or agency administrator. The information provided on the ap-plication will be used to determine eligibility and may be verified at any time during the year by school or other program officials.

For the school or agency of-ficials to determine eligibility, the household must provide the

following information on the ap-plication: names of all household members; the last four digits of the social security number of an adult household member or a statement that the household member does not have one; total monthly household income by source; and the signature of an adult household member certi-fying that the information provided is correct. Children who are mem-bers of Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) assistance units or Supplemental Nutrition As-sistance Program (SNAP) or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) households are automatically eligible to receive free meals. Participants at adult care centers receiving Food Stamps, FD-PIR, SSI or Medicaid are automati-

cally eligible to receive free meals. Applications may be submitted at

any time during the year. The same meals will be made

available to all enrolled participants regardless of race, color, sex, age, national origin or disability, and there is no discrimination in the course of the meal service. Nonpric-ing programs provide meals at no separate charge. Pricing programs provide free and reduced price meals to those meeting the approved eligibility criteria. Persons who be-lieve they have been treated unfairly in receiving food services for any of these reasons should write immedi-ately to the Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20250.

Back to school - get up to date on vaccinesBack-to-school season is here. It’s

time for parents to gather school supplies and back packs. It’s also the perfect time to make sure your children are up to date on their vaccines.

“Getting children all of the vac-cines recommended by CDC’s im-munization schedule is one of the most important things parents can do to ensure a healthy future for their child,” said Chris Eltiste, Im-munization Nurse. “If you haven’t done so already, now is the time to check with your doctor to find out what vaccines your child needs.”

Vaccines protect against a number of serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. When chil-dren are not vaccinated, they are at increased risk for diseases and can also spread diseases to others in their classrooms and community – including babies who are too young to be fully vaccinated, and people with weakened immune systems due to cancer or other health con-ditions.

Vaccines are among the safest and most cost-effective ways to

prevent disease. Protecting your children from preventable diseases will help keep them healthy and in school. When a child comes down with a disease such as whooping cough, chickenpox or the flu, he or she may miss a lot of school while recovering – and somebody will need to stay home to provide care and make trips to the doctor.

If you haven’t already, check your child’s immunization record and schedule a visit to their physician or clinic. Doing so now will avoid a potential last minute rush and will help make sure there are no surprises on the first day of school. Most schools require children to be up to date on vaccinations before enrolling or starting school in order to protect the health of all students. If you are unsure of your state’s school immunization requirements, check with your child’s doctor, school, child care provider, college health center, or the Southeast Dis-trict Health Department.

Parents can check their student’s immunization records and learn about required immunizations by

visiting, http://sedhd.org, calling 877-777-0424 or by contacting their healthcare provider. The Southeast District Health Depart-ment offers immunization clinics for healthy adults and children who are un-insured and under-insured in Auburn, Falls City, Humboldt, Ne-braska City, Pawnee City, Syracuse and Tecumseh.

Summerfield grocery store the work of women who wanted to save it

By Ray KappelNews Editor

For more than 20 years, the Com-munity General Store in Summer-field, Kan. has been the “Little Store With More.”

Back in 1991, the store was up for sale and citizens became concerned that the town would have to do without a store. Several community women talked it over and decided they didn’t want to do without a store in town, so they bought it.

“We wanted to keep it in town,” said one of the owners, Becky Wiebe. Besides her, the other women involved in the store Cherie Frazee, Gay Frazee, Laura Meg-

brunn, Rosie Megbrunn, Mary Smith and Linda Thomas. Wiebe, the two Frazees, and Laura and Rosie Megbrunn live in and around Summerfield.

The store hooked up with Affili-ated Foods to provide their custom-ers with their grocery needs. A grocery store in Axtell, Kan. and the Summerfield store go together to order the $9,000 a week minimum that Affiliated Foods requires to be a member.

There are no other stores with those kind of arrangements in Af-filiated Foods. The Summerfield store and the Axtell store were grandfathered in.

They offer a wide variety of food.

They do meat and cheese trays, a hot meal at noon on Mondays, and they cut their deli meat fresh. And there are sandwiches they can make for you. They sell 3-2 beer as well.

They are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sat-urday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday 9:15 a.m. to 10:45 a.m.

They’ve had many memorable moments over the course of own-ing the store. For instance, they have a man who comes in every Thanksgiving and buys 20 turkeys to donate to the City Mission in Lincoln.

The Community General Store is located in downtown Summerfield.

From left, Becky Wiebe, Patty Hazenkamp and Lori Barr make sure things run smoothly at the Community General Store.

Tecumseh Senior Legion team comes up one run short at Area tournament

ADAMS - The Tecumseh Senior Legion Baseball team competed in the Class C Area 4 tournament at Adams, July 24-July 30.

The Tecumseh boys opened the tournament against Wymore in a 5 p.m. game on a hot Friday afternoon, July 24th. However, a thunderstorm blew through the area, which delayed the game for almost two hours. When the game ended around 9 p.m. that night, Tecumseh was handed an 8-0 loss.

Tecumseh’s Head Coach Zach Kaster said Chase Hain was a key player in this game as he hit two of three with two singles.

The second round game was delayed on Saturday because of scattered showers. On Sunday afternoon, the Tecumseh boys faced Tri County and a 20-0 shut-out behind the pitching efforts of Connor Freeman who had a four-inning shutout in this game. Then Nick Goracke came in as relief pitcher for the final inning.

“Everyone hit the ball in the game,” said Kaster. Tecumseh was ahead 2-0 in the fourth inning and everyone came out and swung the bats to score 18 runs in the final two innings.

On Monday afternoon, the Te-cumseh boys once again played in above 90-degree weather in a 2 p.m. game against Daykin-Merid-ian. The Tecumseh team got off to a great start as they scored a quick

four runs in the first two innings. Of course, Daykin-Meridian an-swered back as they scored two runs in the sixth inning to tie the game 6-6. In the seventh inning, Daykin-Meridian scored another run to win the game.

Overall, the Tecumseh Senior Legion team finished their season with a 5-14 record.

Kaster said Tecumseh Legion team had a lot of new and young players this year and will only lose three seniors next year. He also recognized the Juniors who stepped up and contributed big hits and big outs for the Seniors throughout the season.

Kaster said Zac Borrenpohl never had an error in the outfield this season. Andrew Belding pitched well throughout the sea-son and served as the Seniors’ leading hitter. Justin Long did a great job behind the plate block-ing a majority of the pitches that came his way.

Tyson Parrish was a great utility player for the Seniors as he con-tributed in the outfield, infield and pitching duties. Connor Freeman was a key player at third base as well as pitching as he accom-plished one shutout game in the conference tournament and one shutout in the Area tournament.

“We have some Junior players coming up next year who will be capable of filling key positions and create some momentum for us going into next year,” Kaster concluded.
