The national anthem. The opportunity to sing this songlive is one not to be taken for granted. And now fourCrofton choir students will get that opportunity for them-selves at a 2019 Husker volleyball game.

On August 14, brothers Gabriel and Gavin Potts and sis-ters Karley and Quinn Schieffer journeyed south to Lin-coln, for a once in a lifetime opportunity to audition for achance to sing the national anthem at a Nebraska Corn-huskers’ sporting event.

Junior Quinn Schieffer learned about this opportunityfrom Crofton’s choir director, Katie Kleinschmit, whoemailed her the details a week before the audition itself.Within that one-week timespan, Quinn put together a quar-tet of the four previously mentioned students, had thegroup practice, and registered for the audition. “I wasn’texpecting much going into it,” stated Quinn, “there werejust so many people auditioning alongside us.”

When it came time for the audition, the group left school

early and headed to Lincoln. “We drove six hours for aone minute audition,” said sophomore Karley Schieffer,“but it was all worth it.”

“We were all really nervous going into the audition,”stated senior Gabriel Potts, “but once we got up there andstarted singing, all the pressure just went away and we didour thing. We all even messed up a little bit while we weresinging, but it was still an amazing audition.”

Despite any trouble the quartet had, the group achievedtheir goal. “I’d like to thank the community for being sosupportive of the Crofton Choir. If they weren’t so ac-cepting of us, we probably wouldn’t have had the confi-dence to even go try for this opportunity,” noted GabrielPotts. “I’m excited that I get to sing the anthem alongsidemy brother,” exclaimed junior Gavin Potts.

There is no word yet on which game the quartet will besinging for, but updates will be posted as soon as possible.“If the game is televised, please watch it for us,” askedQuinn Schieffer, “It would be great, and we’d love the sup-port.”

Gavin Potts, Gabriel Potts, Karley Schieffer, and Quinn Schieffer audition for the national anthem.

Students Audition for HuskerNational Anthem opportunity

With a presidential election com-ing next year, there is over a scoreof people saying they want the job.It is amazing that over 90% of thecandidates for president have littleor no education or experience inbusiness, only in government. Onewould think, anyone who wantsthat job would have extensive ex-perience in business since the Fed-eral Government is the biggestbusiness in the world.

Government must run like a busi-ness with a chain of command,checks and balances that has a sim-ple mission statement we call aconstitution which says: Providesecurity, infrastructure and makelaws that are fair, truthful and sus-tainable with integrity. The busi-ness plan is to invest tax dollars inthings that minimizes future ex-penses. The budget is the priority of

projects that eliminates the most fu-ture expenses and is not used to buyvotes. Government should notspend money if it doesn’t reducefuture costs.

It takes no talent to give awayyour money. It takes no talent toagree with everyone. If one doesnot stand for something, one standsfor nothing. Most presidential can-didates were responsible for areasof the country where crime is high,poverty is rampant, debt is extreme,street are filthy and law enforce-ment is weak and have no accom-plishments that solved anyproblems. If this is their resume forpresident, how do they think theycan do the job of providing secu-rity, handle the budget, clean theenvironment and stop crime?

How can this happen in a coun-try that survived and thrived on pa-triotism, self-reliance, law andorder, honesty and frugality? Thishappened because of apathy. Peo-ple don’t seem to care or they thinkthat someone else will take care ofproblems regardless of how or ifthey vote.

They forget we are a governmentof the people, by the people, for thepeople with a sense self-reliancethat is no longer taught in our pub-lic schools. Instead, blame istaught with talking points and com-plaints of how the government isnot doing enough to help with thetrials and tribulations of life.

Learning how to use social wel-fare systems is a large part of edu-cation today along withencouragement to express them-selves and be free to act in a dys-functional way. Little is taughtabout how government works, whatliberty means or problem solving.They are not teaching about theirresponsibility to society and to bepart of the solution. Instead theyencourage supporting the liberalcause that is political correct, withthe kids not realizing they are be-coming part of the problem.

All this is happening because ofapathy and being unaware, like thefrog in the boiling pot where it isslowly being boiled to death, notknowing what is happening until itis too late.

EditorLetter to the

NewslineSenior

As the school year starts, fall is uponus, and footballs, soccer balls, and vol-leyballs fill the air, I am adding anothernotable activity to the season.

I have been exploring the needs, cal-culating the costs, and allotting theavailable funds, in a process called cre-ating a budget. On the heels of complet-ing that look into the future, our auditorswill be evaluating our spending, ormaybe the records of our spending.

Hopefully, we will be in good stand-ing in the eyes of the auditors. Goodrecords are necessary for openness tothe taxpayers, and for good planning forthe future. We will be publishing thebudget, setting a hearing date for thepublic to comment or question, and set-ting a meeting date for adoption. Thatwill all take place this month.

Keep abreast of the dates as all willbe published in the Journal, and on ourCity website.

Although we know we need someextensive work or Omaha Street, and wewould like to see some work in North-side Acres, we have put those two proj-ects on hold until we have a handle oninterest and available funds.

The sewer rehab project will be mov-ing on. This is mandatory, and we willneed to explore the possible ways offunding, but it is not a choice. The goodnews is that the project insures that anydevelopment that might create morehousing or businesses will be welcomedand assured of a sewer system capableof taking care of any waste waters cre-ated by those new developments.

As I look at the proposed dates ofprogress, I realize that construction startin April is only a season away, and asSpring arrives, so will the constructioncrews.

We have had several preliminaryproposals of financing. We have beentold that we do not qualify for any out-right grants. We do have low interestrates available.

One of the popular means of fundingthe pay-off of those loans is to raise

sewer rates. The good side of that is thatall who use the sewer help to pay for it.My plan at this point is to pay for asmuch as possible as we incur the debt.We surely cannot do all, but every bitpaid ahead without interest is an asset.

We will be raising water rates in thenear future. Cedar Knox has already no-tified us about a significant rate raise.We are converting those figures into percustomer costs at this point. We are alsolooking at the possibility of basing thesewer use rate on the water use rate.This is the practice of most towns. Theargument against this is that water goingto water your lawn does not go throughthe sewer.

We are also getting requests fromfolks who come to town for weekendsor short stays, but do not live here fulltime. Those requests center around pay-ing for garbage totes that are not used.We are working on all of these situa-tions and hope to get a fair and equitableutility-use policy implemented soon.

Some more building is being done onSharon Street. There are other renova-tions and clean up going on in otherparts of town as well. Such a pleasingsight to see…

Happy September! I hope you allhad a fabulous Labor Day weekend!

I’ve been in my new positionhere at The Center for a WHOLEMONTH! I’ve still got so much tolearn so as I learn – I’m going toeducate you as well.

To start with I want to introduceyou to the Northeast Nebraska AreaAgency on Aging (NENAAA).NENAAA is one of eight AreaAgencies on Aging in Nebraska.NENAAA is composed of 22 coun-ties in Northeast Nebraska, whichcover 27,000 square miles.

The Mission of the Northeast Ne-braska Area Agency on Aging is toassist older adults to remain inde-pendent. This is done through a va-riety of programs and services.

An Area Agency on Aging(AAA) is a public or nonprofit pri-vate agency designated by the stateto provide the requirements of theOlder Americans Act at the locallevel.

Area Agencies on Aging developmulti-year plans for comprehen-sive, community-based services,which meet the needs of the olderadults in their services areas.

Area Agencies on Aging provideinformation and assistance on avail-able services and advocate forneeded or improved services forolder adults, people with disabili-ties of all ages, and their caregivers.

Area Agencies on Aging monitorand evaluate services and serviceproviders to ensure effective, effi-cient and quality services.

Service PrioritiesThe Area Agency on Aging serv-

ice priorities includes the followingcategories:

Access to service; Community-based services; In-Home services;Nutritional services; Elder Rights

This week, let’s focus on nutri-tional services:

Food is one of the most basic ofhuman needs. Yet it is somethingmany of us take for granted. Somepeople who are homebound are un-able to prepare their own meals.Others may choose not to cook ahot and nutritious meal for them-selves or want to eat alone. Forthose individuals, a home deliveredor congregate meal is the answer.Nutritious meals and or socializa-tion at mealtime may mean the dif-ference between independence intheir own home or institutionaliza-tion.

Nutritionally balanced andhealthy meals, designed or ap-proved by a registered dietician,meet one third of the daily-recom-mended dietary needs of adults age60 or older, as established by theUSDA.

The Northeast Nebraska AreaAgency on Aging (NENAAA) con-tracts with several entities – includ-ing The Crofton Senior Center - to

provide congregate and home de-livered meals. Meals are offered ona suggested contribution basis forall eligible individuals.

home delivered meals is as follows:∙ Any person aged 60 or over∙ The under 60 spouse of any per-

son aged 60 or over dining withtheir spouse

∙ A disabled person under age 60who resides in housing facilities oc-cupied primarily by older persons atwhich congregate nutrition servicesare provided

∙ A disabled individual who re-sides at home with an older indi-vidual eligible under the OlderAmerican Act (OAA)

Home Delivered MealsNENAAA contracts with several

locations to provide home deliveredmeals – including The Crofton Sen-ior Center. Well-balanced meals aredelivered to the homebound by vol-unteers or paid drivers Mondaythrough Friday. To receive homedelivered meals; eligible individu-als must meet one of the followingcriteria:

∙ The individual is homeboundand does not leave his/her homeunder normal circumstances

∙ The individual is physically in-capable of preparing meals due toimpaired vision, hearing, mobility,dementia, or alcoholism, drugs orother therapy causing loss of ap-petite and emotional instability

Physical problems∙ Spouse or caregiver of a home

delivered meal person∙ Unable to participate in a con-

gregate meal setting at the seniorcenter due to bad weather

Congregate MealsThere are numerous senior cen-

ters and nutrition sites in our serv-ice area that serve congregate mealsfive days a week, Monday throughFriday to accommodate the needs ofthe 60+ person.

All ages are welcome at our con-gregate meals! You don’t have tobe 60+ to eat here – we are onlyaided by NENAAA for those whomeet eligibility but we welcomeEVERYONE to come and partake!

Seeding options onSept. 20 agenda

The Bazile Groundwater Man-agement Area (BGMA) projectteam, along with the Nebraska De-partment of Environment & Energy,have teamed up to demonstrate anadditional seeding option for pro-ducers using a high-clearance ap-plicator on Friday, Sept. 20 nearCreighton.

BGMA Extension Educator, Je-remy Milander, said, “With the highclearance applicator, cover cropscan be planted before harvest andthe seed to soil contact will improvegermination success as compared toaerial seeding. It is hypothesizedthat the pre-harvest planting ofcover crops will allow for earliergermination and growth, which ul-timately means greater biomassproduction.” He added, “This earlygrowth will help to armor the soiland the grower may also be able toimprove germination by capitaliz-ing on late season precipitation orcrop irrigation events.”

The high-clearance applicator isequipped with a pneumatic seedingunit and in-the-row drop nozzles.This concept allows for the late-season application of seed into astanding crop; but will eliminatesome of the seed loss or drift thatcan sometimes occur when apply-

ing cover crop seed using an aerialmethod.

The project team has securedthree demonstration plots locatedwithin the Bazile GroundwaterManagement Area. The seedingdemonstration will begin on Friday,Sept. 20th at 10:30 a.m. at the JimFuchtman farm, east of Creighton.Attendees can gather at MidwestSeed of Creighton at 53105 High-way 59 to stop by and watch themachine in action. Lunch will beserved at Midwest Seed after thedemonstration.

The other cooperating producerswith demonstration plots are AlbertFriedrich of Plainview, and Garrett,Mark, and Scott Carpenter ofCreighton.

‘Blue John’ Stone

Prices for antiques and collectibles are determined by many things that change with time — age, availability, condition, decorative value, fame of maker, artist or past owner, and even who is bidding and if there is a bidding war. Most of these things change with time, so rare Beanie Babies that cost hundreds of dollars for the few years they were in demand are sold today in a dump display for a few dollars.

In the early 18th century, an attractive new stone was found in Treack Cliff Cavern near Derbyshire, England. It was a rare form of the mineral fluorite with bands of purplish-blue or yellow. It came to be called “Blue John.” Mat-thew Boulton, a famous manufacturer in the 1700s, made many urns and oth-er decorative objects using Blue John. The stone became a symbol of British art and was wanted by the elite. Recent-ly, a new vein of Blue John was found, the fifteenth known, and new jewelry and objects are being made. A pair of antique Blue John and rock crystal obe-lisks recently auctioned for $2,176.

***

Q: At an antiques show in Penn-sylvania, I saw a small quilt

that was labeled a “privy bag.” Of course I know what a privy is, but I’ve never heard of a fancy bag used to hold toilet paper in an outhouse. I have a bet with my husband that it is dealer’s joke term.

A: You lose. There are references online dating back to 2010 for

books and exhibits in Pennsylvania that feature quilted privy bags made to hold toilet paper. Some examples were at a recent show and one was priced $995. There are other kinds, some embroi-dered, some from fancy fabric and some just reusable cloth food sacks. The quilt-ed ones have almost all been reported from the Lancaster, Pennsylvania, area.

Privy toilet paper often was pages of the old Sears and Roebuck catalog, or squares of newsprint that were stored on a large nail. A decorative holder was crocheted in the 1920s-’30s from directions in some sewing magazines. A full, round, colorful crocheted skirt was made to fit a small doll. The legs of the doll were stuffed into the card-board center and the skirt covered the paper. It was kept near the seating area. A few outhouses left in the United

States today are in camping and hik-ing areas. The parks furnish a portable biodegradable kit that is carried out of the park at the end of the hike.

• On Sept. 16, 1620, the Mayflower sails from Plymouth, England, bound for the New World with 102 pas-sengers.

The Lewis and Clark Natural Re-sources District (LCNRD) providescost share to seal unused or aban-doned irrigation or domestic wells.

If anyone has a well which is nolonger serviceable and would like tohave it permanently removed fromservice, the NRD can provide costshare of up to 75 percent for the costto properly seal the well.

Sealing unused wells protects thehealth and safety of the residents ofthe LCNRD by preventing personalinjury due to accidents that can occuraround forgotten, unused wells and bydecreasing the risk of groundwatercontamination from sediment, fertil-izers, and pesticides protecting drink-ing water sources. Wells left open area direct route for contaminates toenter groundwater resources, bypass-

ing the earth’s natural filter – soil andsubsoil components.

LCNRD provides financial assis-tance, through cost-share, to properlyseal wells. Applications are availablefrom the LCNRD office or from theNatural Resources ConservationService (NRCS). Applications mustinclude a bid from a licensed wellcontractor and must be approved bythe NRD before work to seal the wellcan begin. The approved cost of seal-ing the well is reimbursed at a 75%

rate, upon receipt of the contractor’sinvoice. Components of sealing a wellnot eligible for cost-share include, butare not limited to; removal of wind-mill towers, pumps, and concrete cov-ers.

If one has a well that is no longerneeded take advantage of the oppor-tunity to seal it properly. Proper de-commissioning of water wells is amajor player in the protection of ournumber one resource, groundwater.

The Crofton High School introduction to design classis taking the tiny house trend to heart by creating theirown scale-model tiny houses.

Students create house dioramas to have a better un-derstanding of interior design. The class started by mak-ing a digital model, a vision board, and a blueprint oftheir tiny house.

Jonelle Thoene, Crofton High School Family and

Consumer Science teacher, is trying to help her studentsuse spatial awareness, elements and principles of de-sign, and math to help them design their homes in thefuture. Last year, the class was limited to one roomwhen building their homes, but this year, the classwanted to take the project a step further by expanding tothe whole interior of the house.

The class is currently on the third section of theirproject and are over half way done. “I’m excited to seehow their designs turn out,” said Thoene.
