County Commissioners plan to clear right-of-way■ Commissioners watch condition of county roadways. see Page 5

the wauNeta breeze

Farmers hitting the fields to drill wheat need to keep a close eye on the line be-tween their ground and Chase County’s right-of-way. While Commissioner Don Weiss, Jr. es-timates 80 percent of the county’s farmers maintain proper boundaries, others have crept closer to the road. County right-of-way extends 33 feet out from the center of the road. The practice leads to several concerns. Sheriff Kevin Mueller pointed out crops planted too close to the road obstruct driv-ers’ views at intersections and can lead to accidents. A second problem, Weiss said, is that the slope of the road is ruined. Either problem can lead to liability is-sues for the county. Sheriff Mueller said discussions about

the issue took place at a commissioner’s meeting earlier this year. When asked about the crops too close to the road, Sheriff Mueller said other counties solve the problem by mowing the crops. Sheriff Mueller suggested to wait a year and send a notice before destroying the crops. Weiss said the county won’t necessarily be mowing the crops because farmers are already expected to mow the ditches, a policy started in 2012. Weiss wouldn’t say what method the county would use, only that the crops will be destroyed. The process of alerting farmers began with placing signs. County employees began putting signs up in western Chase County only to find them removed or de-faced. Mueller said penalties for tamper-ing with the signs include theft and criminal mischief. At this time it is not known if more signs will be put up. Commissioners will be enforcing the plan in 2015. Those who continue to en-croach into the right-of-way will receive a warning before the county takes action.

300 rally together for Nebraska Kids TRUTH walk/run

Exactly 300 participants registered to take part in the Nebraska Kids TRUTH Color Me Courageous 5K walk/run in Imperial Saturday, Sept. 27. Here, participants release colored powder in to the air, creating a color cloud, right before taking to the streets for the walk/run.

Imperial color run sets new attendance recordBy Sheri hink-Wagner

the wauNeta breeze

The Color Me Courageous 5K run/walk in Imperial Saturday set a new attendance record for the group’s summer-long tour. Nebraska Kids TRUTH Campaign held four color runs over the summer–Raven-na, Alliance, Lincoln and Imperial. Exactly 300 people registered for the Imperial run, topping the previous at-

tendance record in Alliance by 24 partici-pants. Runners came from all across Ne-braska, Colorado, Kansas, South Dakota and one from Montana. “I think it really shows what an amaz-ing place southwest Nebraska is that we were able to get that huge of a crowd on a morning when there was so much else going on in the area,” said Nebraska Kids TRUTH Campaign co-founder Dave Vrbas. “All four of them this summer have been spectacular, but this one was very special to me on a personal level.” The atmosphere before and during the color run was one of celebration and hope.

Many participants ran in costume, includ-ing tutus, butterfly wings, rainbow hair and rainbow clothing. “The mood was upbeat, but everyone I talked to made it clear they were there for the cause first, and the fun second,” said Vrbas. And there was a lot of fun to be had. Before the race began Jason Kimble with Night Sounds provided music during reg-istration. There was a photo booth avail-able for participants to capture a picture before heading out. Representatives from Synergy Total Fitness helped participants warm up with a fun dance routine.

Right before participants took off for the 5K walk/run, they gathered on the grass at Imperial’s Campbell Park and threw non-toxic colored powder into the air – creating a “color cloud.” After the color cloud, participants took to the streets where participants could mark their progress as they were doused with color at every kilometer. Along the way participants were also able to take advantage of “selfie stations” and silly signs to urge them forward. After the race, participants enjoyed refreshments, cour-tesy of Super Foods.

Students provide new wheel chair for Dan AndrewsBy Lori Pankonin

JOhNsON pubLicatiONs, iNc.

Fall found Dan Andrews returning to his second year as the agriculture education teacher and FFA advisor in Palco, Kan. It also finds him enjoying the comforts and conveniences of a brand new wheelchair, thanks to the generosity and compassion of the students and community. “Shock and disbelief” are among the emotions Andrews recalls when Co-Valedictorian Kiley Marcotte stepped down off the stage during her graduation speech and asked Andrews to join her in front. Policy rules that the senior class can’t take anything left in their class treasury with them. She expressed appreciation to

Andrews who the students had come to love. On behalf of her 10-member class, she presented him with a check for a new wheelchair. “I’m still flabbergasted,” Andrews said. Class Sponsor Kathy Desaire said one of the seniors had come to her, asking if they could put their funds toward a wheelchair for “Mr. A.” Desaire was touched, saying the kids have the utmost respect for An-drews who taught them morals and values of life not included in the regular teaching curriculum. “He obviously made an impact! We cher-ish him greatly,” she added. Desaire teaches kindergarten and her students adored him as well. She ex-

Growing up in a small town leaves a person with a sense of pride and love for the smaller community atmosphere. Towns are relatively safe and high schoolers are given the opportunity to be involved in almost anything and ev-erything. Doors can be left unlocked at night without the incessant worry about burglars. For 2003 Wauneta-Palisade graduate Mandi Kramer, small town living is what she knows and loves.

Mandi Kramer, Wauneta-Palisade 2003 graduate, chose to live and work in Wauneta over city life.

Janicek, Kramer, grew up doing normal small town things. While in high school Kramer partici-pated in as many activities as she could. She showed support for both the athletic and artistic sides high school had to of-fer. “I enjoyed growing up in a small town. I did all sports, played softball in the sum-mer, did one-act and just enjoyed the high school experience,” said Kramer. Like the majority of WP graduates Kramer pursued a college career after finishing high school. She attended the University of Nebraska Lincoln where

she majored in Business and Management. In 2007 Kramer graduated from college, and was im-mediately offered a job by HomeTown Agency back in her home town, Wauneta. “ There are tons of great jobs in town that college graduates could get!” Kramer said. “I would encourage college and high school graduates to move back to their home towns!” On May 2, 2009, she married Beau Kramer son of Bruce and Kathy Kramer. Two years later Beau and Mandi were blessed by a baby girl, when she gave birth to

Marlee Fae who is now two and a half years old. Just because Kramer is now in the already demanding po-sition of being both a mother and wife, that doesn’t stop her with helping out with the fam-ily business. “I help out my father-in-law at Kramer Farms. Sometimes I take care of new safety regu-lations or food safety. It really just depends on the day.” Growing up in Wauneta, Kramer knew what she want-ed. “I’m not really sure why I stayed. I just knew I wanted to live somewhere smaller,” she said.

When asked to give some life advice to not only current high school students, but also college students and graduates Kramer said,” It’s okay if you don’t go to college. College is not for everyone. You should, however, at least get out on your own and get your own place. Try to meet new people and do different things.” Kramer is a hardworking respectable resident of Wau-neta. Without people like her Wauneta’s community would not be what it is today—a safe profitable place to either raise a family or retire.

KRAMER: Chooses life in a small townFrom Page 1

Nebraska voters can begin voting in general election MondayBy Russ Pankonin

The ImperIal republIcan

Voters in Chase County and throughout Nebraska can be-gin casting their votes Monday, Oct. 6 for the Nov. 4 General Election. Secretary of State John Gale says county election officials could begin mailing ballots to early voters as of Monday, Sept. 29. “Those will be sent to people who have already completed early voting ballot requests,” Gale said. Chase County Clerk and Election Commissioner Debbie Clark said they have only re-ceived three requests for early ballots thus far. Beginning Monday, Clark said voters can begin casting their votes at her office at the courthouse. She said voters will fill out a form to request an early ballot and then complete their vot-

ing. Gale said early voting was a popular option among voters during the 2012 presidential election. He said 26 percent of registered voters in Nebraska cast their ballots early. “We experienced a real surge in 2012 for early voting. We hope it will be equally strong in the upcoming general elec-tion. Certainly, casting a ballot early is a convenience for a lot of people who, for whatever reason, can’t get to the polls on Election Day.”

Oct. 17 final day to register Friday, Oct. 17 marks the final deadline for voters to register to be eligible to vote in the Nov. 4 election. Voters can register in the Clerk’s office. Clark said new residents in the county must register by the deadline to vote. In addition, any registered voter who has changed their

address or changed their name must re-register. Any voter registrations sent in by mail must also be post-marked on or before Oct. 17. Clark said a new Nebraska law allows people who register at the courthouse to request an early ballot and vote that same day. However, Clark said those ballots will be segregated until the residency of the voter can be verified. Gale said Nebraska residents can also complete or update their voter registration on the Secretary of State’s website at www.sos.ne.gov. Voter registration forms and early voting forms, in both Eng-lish and Spanish, are located under “Voter Forms” link on the site’s “Elections” tab. The Imperial Republican and the Wauneta Breeze will also publish the early voting appli-cation forms in their Oct. 9 and Oct. 23 issues.

plained that his ag classes were in their building. Although elementary students are no longer in Palco, last year the K-5 students enjoyed giving high fives to Andrews when he passed through the hallway, according to Desaire. He was always friendly, she said of Andrews. The students began to do some research and realized the approximate $300 in the senior funds wouldn’t go very far toward a wheelchair. They started making contacts to parents and others in the com-munity. Within hours, they had another $2,500 committed. Desaire was impressed how the gift came from the heart. Stetson Nyp, one of An-drews’ last year senior ag students said, “He is a great man! Not only did I learn a lot about agriculture from him, but I also learned a lot of life lessons. No matter how hard things get for a person, there are always others out there that care and want to help someone in need. Even though he was new to us my senior year, from the minute I met him I knew he was like fam-ily.” Nyp was among students who helped Andrews with welding and replacing parts on his old wheelchair. Since graduation, he works in the oilfield for his family-owned business and farms and runs cows on the side, utilizing his ag education. Circumstances found An-drews leaving Wauneta-Pal-isade Schools after 35 good years. He packed up numerous memories of positive student connections as the 2013 school year ended, not knowing if his future would include teaching. June found him in Palco, Kan., for a job interview where he in-

stantly felt a sense of family. Three rural Kansas com-munities of Palco (population less than 300), Damar and Zurich had consolidated their schools, a concept familiar to Andrews having experienced the Wauneta-Palisade merger. Andrews lives in Damar, teach-es in Palco four miles away and goes to church in Plainville. When school started last year, Andrews was given time to speak with all the 6-12 grad-ers even though sixth and seventh grade classes weren’t on his schedule. He wanted to introduce himself and help them to understand a part of his past and why he’s in a wheelchair. He explained that dreadful day, at age 17 when a farm ac-cident changed his life forever. His spine took the brunt when a stacking cage came down on him while stacking hay. There was one-in-a-thousand chance that he would get feeling back in his legs if a bone from his hip was fused in his vertebrae. He took that chance but it didn’t work. Although depression set in and it was a huge mental adjustment, Andrews learned the importance of making the right choices and how they can affect you. Andrews focused on student choices and how they make a difference, whether to open that can of beer, smoke that cigarette, drive too fast, finish an assignment or whatever. Emotions always ran high for Andrews and he said he became emotional as he spoke to the students. “I wear my heart on my sleeve,” Andrews told them. “I care about you and I have nothing to hide,” he said. He told them that he cried with former students in the

good times. He cried in the bad times and that they can expect that also. Shortly thereafter, Andrews was very touched by a note from Haley, a special sixth grader. She told him he may wear his heart on his sleeve but she wears her pancreas on her hip. Not only does she deal with diabetes but severe asthma and nut allergies. She thanked him for helping her realize she can still make choices to be happy. Andrews was also asked to speak at a Lions Club meet-ing. He has appreciated the “family” connection when people move snow and clear his vehicle for him, share their garden produce and are always neighborly. Andrews spent a full year in rehabilitation at the former Children’s Orthopedic Hospi-tal in Lincoln, getting released 43 years ago. He then got his first hand-controlled vehicle for Christmas, establishing a new means of independence at age 19. Making the effort to fold up his wheelchair and load it be-hind his driver’s seat is second nature for Andrews. It does cause wear and tear, however, and he had forgotten how great a new cushion and chair can feel. Students have given him a hard time about the red color in his new chair, relating it to Husker red. He thoroughly enjoys the continued student and community connections. “God put me here,” he said. Andrews’ wife, Shirley, con-tinues to reside in Wauneta where Andrews spent most of the summer. Their three children, Deanna, Richard and Derek, have given them 13 grandchildren and one great grandchild.

As to the heading above my article, it says Sunrise Happen-ings. I try to find events (hap-penings) that happen here. Seems there are some nice events, but there are weeks when there is no time to party, but at Farmers Cafe Thursday, the staff set a special table for residents who had September birthdays. It happened to be right on my birthday, 94 years for me, 96 for Leona Littlejohn, and 89 for Elfrieda Johnston and Elinor Denker. They had “happy birthday” tiaras for each one. My family, the two sons and wives, had come for the day and were at the coffee. They had a table where I joined them. They brought lunch and we had pizza and spent the af-ternoon visiting in the gazebo.Lynn and Janie went home before supper and brought big juicy hamburgers for our sup-per, again in the gazebo. That is a handy and nice place to eat and enjoy the pretty yard and all the healthy greenery. What rains we’ve had were good for trees and bushes. Diana Ham was our visitor. Cindy Sandman and her help-er, Marvene Roe, brought me

a pot with lots of little candy bars, also that represented a plant. I feel a special blessing for my family and friends. And it was a nice day to be 94. You know little folks tell their family and others “I will have a birthday” (maybe they’d name the day) and they are hoping for a party and gifts, but just to have that special day. I looked forward to this 94th one and it turned out to be a fun and happy time. My two friends, Edna Chris-tensen and Emma Hoff, and I shared the Sept. 25 date. I missed them as my day got close. Did you ever hear about the coincidence of Homer and Emma and we two played cards and found out during a card game Homer would have a birthday on May 14 and Vearl and I spoke up that is his birthday also. As the conver-sation went then Emma and I learned our birthdays were on the same date. Others of interest as you know them, Sid and Brian Harchelroad, both observe Sept. 25 birthdays. So the Hoffs and we knew we’d eat out and play more cards on May 14 and Sept. 25.

Joe E. Fanning was a man of God who loved his country, his family, and his beloved pets. His wife, Cindy Fanning, fell in love with Joe at a Bible study. Cindy was the love of his life, definitely his soul mate. They were married for 16 years. Cindy and Joe had one child, Ashley, to-gether. Joe also had three daughters from a previous marriage: Tam-mie, Julie, and Wendy. Tammie had one son, Jus-tin. Julie mar-ried a wonderful man, Darwin, who Joe loved like a son. They have a son and daughter, Zach-ary and Zoë. Wendy has a son and daughter, Joseph and Lea Rain. Joe adored his grand-children and they adored him. One of Joe’s greatest joys in life was spending time with family. A highlight for him ev-ery year was being entertain-ment director for the annual Fanning camping trip near Wauneta. Joe, always an animal lover, took special care of his pets, his Kitters and his two dogs, Cinch and Bear. Joe was a true Nebraskan and Cornhusker fan. He was born in Wauneta, Neb., on Dec. 20, 1940, and he went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday, Sept. 26, 2014. He grew up in Wauneta on the family farm. Joe attended Wauneta High School and was an avid runner in track, hold-ing the record for the mile for many years. He graduated in 1959. He was a meat cutter for many years in the Denver area.

He later owned J & J Process-ing in Hayes Center, Neb. He finished his career at Rocky Flats in Golden, Colo. Joe is survived by his loving

wife, Cindy Fan-ning, of Arvada, Colo.; his daugh-ters, Julie and husband, Darwin Van Dyke, and grandchildren, Zach and Zoë of Gering, Neb.; Wendy Fanning and grandchil-dren, Joseph and Lea Rain Blasko, of Cheyenne, Wyo.; and Ashley Fanning of San Angelo, Texas,

and grandson, Justin Kerchal, of Gilbert, Ariz. He is also survived by his two sisters, Dee Chase of Omaha, Neb., and Karen and husband, Ralph Johnson, of Golden, Colo.; his two brothers, Jack Fanning and wife, Linda, of Wauneta and Jay Fanning and wife, Jackie, of Benkelman, Neb. He also leaves behind many family members and friends who loved him dearly. Joe was preceded in death by his parents, Edgar and Winifred Fanning; his infant sister, Sue Ann and his eldest daughter, Tammie Sue Fan-ning–Kerchal. A graveside service will be held at the Riverside Cemetery in Wauneta, Neb., on Friday, Oct. 3, 2014, 11:00 a.m. MT with Pastor Todd Burpo officiating.

The admission of a prison employee that he failed to report findings about a dangerous inmate ready to be released raises serious concerns about the system and the people responsible. Nikko Jenkins has been found guilty of killing four people in Omaha within days of his release. Three outside psychiatrists and a therapist told a legislative committee investigating a series of problems with Nebraska’s Department of Corrections they had diagnosed Jenkins as men-tally ill. Psychologists within the Department said he had be-havior problems. That opinion kept him from getting necessary treatment, treatment that would have kept him incarcerated. A behavioral health adminis-trator with the department told a special legislative committee recently that he withheld the mental illness diagnosis from key personnel who could have gotten Jenkins the help he actu-ally asked for before his release. Most troubling is the fact that the prisons’ head mental health administrator told the commit-tee he didn’t read the mental illness diagnosis until Jenkins had killed the people after his release. That testimony had to be shocking – if not all too familiar sounding – to the com-mittee members who had been told a few weeks earlier that the prisons’ chief legal counsel had failed to read a Supreme Court opinion on release dates. Two ignored reports, read only after things had hit the fan. One resulted in the early release of a number of inmates who had to be rounded up and brought back to prison. The other could be directly linked to the murders of four people in Omaha. We can’t pretend to know what the daily routine is for

More prison woes, a disturbing pattern

prison officials. We do know that there has been ongoing pressure to reduce inmate numbers with the state’s prison capacity well over federal guidelines that call for mandatory releases to ease the situation. In both lengthy legislative hearings on the top-ics, that subject has come up.

We can only imagine what it is like to be responsible for a seemingly unsavory group of people who are being punished for violating laws and going against societal norms. Prison is the last line of defense between good and bad, order and chaos. The people who are behind the bars and behind the tall fences are there because that’s the way the law-abiding citizenry has determined it should be. Perhaps there needs to be a better system for vetting the people who are running the show. One can presume that guards are screened before they are hired. They have a terrible job. They have to be sure they stay on the right side of the line between right and wrong … and the temptations to cross that line are there. Likewise, the people who run the institutions need to be screened, perhaps more frequently and better. In many cases they are people who have worked their way up through the ranks. They have a lot on their plates every day, but is

it too much to ask that they pay attention to such things as Supreme Court opinions on sentencing and mental health reports on potentially dangerous inmates? In the case of Jenkins, he was cutting himself and writing on the walls of his cell with his own blood. This wasn’t a B Grade horror movie. This was a Nebraska prison system inmate. Is it asking too much for somebody to wave a red flag and somebody else to recognize the danger that signifies? As with any working hierar-chy, there is always a potential for conflict amongst the worker bees. Some are afraid to tell the higher-ups for fear of being labeled whiners or com-plainers. Others decide to take things into their own hands. Turf wars between psycholo-gists and psychiatrists are noth-ing new in state government. I really don’t care who went to school where and for how long. I do care that everyone’s opinion is heard and weighed by the people we are paying to make decisions. It would be easy to lay this at the foot of the Governor who has been in charge for the last decade. Perhaps his leadership style has left something to be de-sired. Perhaps his constant mes-sage to reduce prison population has been misinterpreted by the department heads and “respon-sible” parties in the correction’s system. It’s too late for the four people in Omaha and their friends and loved ones. But it’s not too late to start cleaning house at the Department of Corrections. The least we can ask for is that they start paying attention.

Nebraska’s continued commitment to wellness Seven years ago the State of Nebraska launched a wellness program for its employees and spouses, becoming one of the first states to offer an integrated well-ness program tied to health plan coverage. In that short time our state’s successful wellness program efforts and outcomes have been recognized for their excellence by earning prestigious national awards from the Wellness Coun-cils of America and the Council of State Governments. We were the first state wellness program to earn the coveted C. Everett Koop National Health Award and two years ago Nebraska was recog-nized as a na-tional leader in workplace wellness programs by Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Wellness programs are suc-cessful because they empower employees to make good deci-sions about their health and take action to avoid chronic illnesses that can adversely impact quality of life. Prevention and wellness efforts lead to healthier employ-ees, increased productivity, better employee satisfaction and lower future health care costs. To encourage Nebraska busi-nesses and organizations to offer employee health and wellness

programs, the Governor’s Well-ness Award was created. The award provides employers with an opportunity to be recognized for their wellness efforts. Since the program started seven years ago, I’ve had the pleasure of granting a total of 252 awards. I am very proud of the employers across the state who are investing in the health of their employees by providing worksite wellness programs and reaching the level of excellence necessary to receive the Governor’s Wellness Award. The 2014 awardees will be honored at luncheons in Gering, Kearney

and Lincoln. As part of a continued commitment to improve the health of communities across the state, the Ne-braska Work-site Wellness Toolkit also launched this

year. Located on the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services’ website at www.worksite-wellness.ne.gov, the toolkit is a free online resource for Nebraska busi-nesses. Its step-by-step approach helps employers start or expand employee wellness programs and policies focused on making it easier for Nebraskans to reach, maintain, and lead healthier lives. Wellness works every time. It’s something that’s beneficial for all Nebraskans and it’s one more way that living in Nebraska is living “The Good Life.”

A rich history, a bright future Native Americans are an important part of our state’s rich cultural heritage. For thousands of years, several different tribes – descendants of the Plains Indians –inhabited the land that is now within our state boundaries. One of Nebraska’s most famous Native Americans was Chief Stand-ing Bear, a 19th century leader of the Ponca Tribe. In 1877, Standing Bear and the Poncas were forced to relocate from their land in northeast Nebraska to Indian Territory in Oklahoma. A third of the Ponca nation perished during the treacher-ous journey. Among the dead was Stand-ing Bear’s son, whose dying wish was to be buried with his ancestors near Omaha. To honor his son’s request, Standing Bear and other members of the Ponca Tribe returned to Omaha to bury the body on ancestral land. Because they left Indian Territory without permission, Standing Bear and his fellow Poncas were arrested. Standing Bear found a lawyer and argued that Native Americans had legal rights, including the right of habeas corpus, a consti-tutional right preventing anyone from being held without a trial. In a historic ruling, a federal judge found that Native Americans also possessed the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. By attempting to fulfill his dying son’s last wish, Chief Standing Bear set upon a path to recognize the dignity inherent with his people, and established himself as a major figure in the American struggle for civil rights. To honor this legacy, Senator Jo-hanns and I introduced legislation to require the Department of the Interior to explore the possibility of creating a Chief Standing Bear National Historic Trail. The legislation is similar to a bill Congressman Jeff Fortenber-ry introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. As a member of the Senate Indian Affairs Commit-tee, I also have the opportunity to work on other unique issues fac-ing the Native American commu-nity. I have enjoyed working with Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.), another member of the commit-tee, to identify solutions to ad-dress the challenges facing Native

American children in Nebraska and across the country. I believe the limited access to opportunity for children in these communities is simply unacceptable. That’s why I’m cosponsoring Heitkamp’s legislation, the Alyce Spotted Bear and Walter Soboleff Commission on Native Children Act. This bill uses existing funding to create a national Commission on Native American Children. The commission would be

tasked with conducting a comprehen-sive study of current fed-eral, state, and local programs and support for Native American children, who are dis-

proportionately impacted by pov-erty, child abuse, crime, substance abuse, suicide, and lack of eco-nomic opportunity. Its goals are to more precisely and efficiently target limited resources, enhance knowledge growth capabilities, and expand private partnerships in Native communities. Many Nebraskans do important work every day to improve the lives of their neighbors on and off Indian reservations. I’ve had the chance to visit directly with many of these leaders, includ-ing Judi gaiashkibos, Executive Director of the Nebraska Com-mission on Indian Affairs, as well as representatives from Nebraska Indian Community College and the Little Priest Tribal College. I’ve also met with representatives from Ho-Chuck Inc., an economic development corporation that is owned by the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. I’m grateful for the good work and leadership of each of these groups in Nebraska. I was also pleased to learn that one of my former interns, Alexander Mal-lory, was named a National Child Awareness Month Youth Ambas-sador. Alex will receive funding and training to lead an initiative to educate native youth leaders on suicide prevention – a significant problem in Indian Country. While Nebraska’s Native Americans are part of our history, they are also a key part of our state’s future. As your U.S. senator, I look forward to continuing my work to strengthen all Nebraska communities.

A call to support Ukraine

washiNgtoN report

adrian Smith

On Sept. 18 I had the honor of attending a historic address to a joint meeting of the House of Representatives and the Senate by President Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine. It was a remarkable speech in which President Po-roshenko discussed our shared values, the challenges facing his country, and the need for more American support for the demo-cratically-elected government of Ukraine against Russian-backed separatists. The opportunity for a foreign leader to address both chambers of Congress is a rare gesture of unity and solidarity between our two countries. Unfortu-nately, our support of Ukraine has also been largely symbolic. President Poroshenko’s speech was a call to action and now is the time to do more to support Ukraine. In February of this year, Russian and Russian-backed forces invaded the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea, and set up an illegal referendum for the region to succeed from Ukraine. Because the region was oc-cupied by a foreign force, this referendum has no legitimacy. Shortly after the referendum passed, Russia “annexed” the territory in blatant violation of accepted international law and specifically in violation of

a treaty signed by the United States, Britain, Russia, and Ukraine guaranteeing their sovereign territory. Since then, the world has watched as

Russia continues to arm and support separatists fighting the Ukrainian government. The separatists likely used Russian military equipment to shoot down Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 killing nearly 300 innocent people, including an American citizen. There still has been no one held accountable for this un-precedented and horrific act. The United States and European nations have placed sanctions on Russia, but it is debatable what effect if any these efforts have had. Out of fear of upsetting Russia we have limited our assistance to Ukraine to non-lethal aid. During his speech,

President Poroshenko expressed his gratitude for what we have done so far but added, “one cannot win a war with blan-kets!” President Poroshenko then urged the United States to give the Ukrainian democracy the resources and tools it needs to stand against a much more powerful aggressor. He did not ask for direct American military involvement, and repeatedly stressed his desire for a peaceful solution to this conflict. I agree and believe we must do more while we have the op-portunity to help this nation defend their sovereign territory. We must also show our friends in the region we will not allow this Russian aggression and expansion to continue. The United States has histori-cally been the greatest source of good, and the greatest champion for democracy in the world. As we have seen too often in the last year, when America backs down our enemies are emboldened and seize the opportunity in their own interests. We must not forget the chal-lenges facing Ukraine, and we must support democracy and the rule of law over invasion and oppression. We need to reassert our leadership in the world, not to produce confrontation – but to ensure peace.

As trucks hit county roads with heavy loads this fall, the Chase County Commissioners opened their Sept. 23 meeting with discussion on the state of the roads. While Commissioners Jodi Thompson, Chuck Vette and Don Weiss, Jr talked about the need of mag on several roads, their main concern was a hole that developed mid-September between the bridge over the Frenchman River and Avenue 331 south of Imperial. County crews were out last week placing a temporary metal plate over the hole. A perma-nent fix will have to wait until this coming spring. Inspection of the underside of the bridge, which was put in

in the early 1970s, showed the structure to be in good shape. Commissioners completed the annual countywide inven-tory review. In addition to the regular 30 departments, the fair board also provided an inven-tory this year. The commission-ers approved the review and declared many items surplus, including old computers from the Assessor’s Office. County Assessor Dottie Bartels would like to take these items to the electronics recycling event at the Imperial city office Oct. 11. Bartels also updated the commissioners on the Sept. 9 request from Farm Service Agency office manager Linda Fegler to access the assessor’s records without being charged a fee. Bartels said that as long as FSA personnel come to the As-sessor’s Office, they can access the records for free. The commissioners will next meet Oct. 7.

No results were kept for who came in first, last or in-between. Vrbas said the race was run for fun and awareness of the cause. The local coordinator for the event was Heidi Anderson, who said she was excited by how the day turned out. “Southwest Nebraska really is generous and super supportive of things like these and always step up to the plate,” said Ander-son. “That’s what I love about being from here and bringing my family back to this commu-nity!” Vrbas said the work of An-derson and volunteers helped make the event a success, “Huge thanks to Heidi and the spec-tacular crew of volunteers and sponsors she rounded up. It was a phenomenal event.”

Funds raised serve as catalyst for mission The newly-founded organiza-tion plans to combat the emo-tional scars children face due to abuse. Nebraska Kids TRUTH (Tell,

Respond, Understand, Treat, Heal) Campaign has taken on a four-phase approach of advocat-ing for Nebraska children who suffer from any type of abuse. The TRUTH acronym was designed to address the goals of the organization. Tell–The co-founders want children to feel safe to tell an adult when they are being abused. Respond–Adult allies will pledge to respond with love, compassion and discretion. Understand–Adult allies will understand the importance of standing up for children in abu-sive situations and help them understand that abuse is not their fault. Treat–Co-founders Vrbas and Missy Blackman believe in treatment for those abused as well as the abuser. They want to empower them to receive the counselling needed and offset the associated costs if needed. Heal–Vrbas and Blackman acknowledge that no one fully heals from abuse, but hope Ne-braska Kids TRUTH Campaign

can help children on a path to a bright future through the coun-seling and scholarship programs they plan to establish. The first phase for the orga-nization is a call to action for adults. They hope to “build an army of Nebraska allies for kids.” During phase two the group plans to create a curriculum for pre-Kindergarten and elemen-tary students that focuses on the TRUTH model. Curriculum will be distributed statewide. Phase three consists of raising funds to begin a program aimed to help income-qualified fami-lies pay for mental health care needed to overcome abuse. Phase four will establish schol-arships for abuse survivors. “After four of these events, we’ve now laid a foundation to finance our mission,” explains Vrbas. Vrbas said the Nebraska Kids TRUTH Campaign’s board of directors will meet soon to prioritize which actions need to happen first. Nebraska TRUTH leaders have also been in close contact with the Nebraska Child Advo-cacy Center throughout its for-mation. “We have a good rapport and they’ve been very supportive of and excited about our organi-zation, even assembling a team for the Lincoln run,” explains Vrbas.

Broncos return home, beat Tigers 58-37By Diane Stamm

The WauneTa Breeze

After two weeks on the road, the Wauneta-Palisade Broncos beat Maywood 58-37 at home Friday night. Co-head coach Randy Geier and fellow coach Joseph Frecks were happy for the players, say-ing that despite heading into the game at 0-3 the players have continued to work hard. The Broncos wasted no time shutting down the Tigers. Billy Straub intercepted a Maywood pass on the game’s opening pos-session to set up a quick Gage Crowell score. Forcing Maywood into a three-and-out on the next time it got the ball, WP drove to the Maywood 18-yard line. The drive threatened to stall at fourth-and-16, but Straub scrambled to extend the play and found Tyler Davis open for a touchdown. Maywood rounded out the

set up a 24-yard touchdown run by Sramek. Penalties plagued Maywood on its next possession, forcing a punt deep in its own territory. Rathe blocked the kick and the ball rolled out of the end zone for a safety. The Tigers’ free kick traveled five yards and set the Broncos up for another quick touch-down, this one a five-yard run by Straub. After Maywood returned the kickoff for a touchdown to make the score 44-25, Sramek scored on another 24-yard run. Action continued hot and heavy in the fourth quarter with the teams trading touch-downs early. Between Maywood touch-downs, Crowell rumbled for a 44-yard score. WP’s younger players round-ed out fourth quarter action. “It was good to get all of the players into the game,” said

Geier. “Our younger guys have worked very hard in practice, so it was a nice reward for them.” The Broncos racked up 268 yards on the ground and 146 through the air. “We really did a good job of sustaining our blocks,” Geier said. “Tyler Davis, Brody Nor-dhausen and Chris Carl all blocked very well up front. Our backs ran hard and we executed very well on offense. Chase Rathe had success throwing the ball and Chris and Tyler Davis had some nice catches.” Geier also credited Straub for a good game on both sides of the ball. Maywood attempted 46 passes in the contest. The Bronco coaches were pleased with the team’s pass defense and pres-sure applied to the Tigers. Friday, the Broncos will travel to 2-2 Hayes Center. The Cardinals have beaten Banner County and Deshler and lost to Wilcox-Hildreth and Sioux County.

The imperial republican

Saturday marked the 13th year of the Chase County Cup, a competition between golfers from Enders Lake Golf Course (EGLC) and the Imperial Coun-try Club (ICC). Going into this year’s com-petition, which was held at the Imperial Country Club, each team had won the trophy six times. ELGC now holds a 7-6 ad-vantage after defeating ICC in match-play competition, win-ning 13.5 of 24 possible points. After the morning team competition, both teams each earned six of the possible 12 points. In the afternoon singles

matches, ELGC prevailed to retain the Chase County Cup after regaining it in the 2013 competition.

Match play format The event is played under match play rules over a possible 27 holes. In match play, the winner of each hole is determined by the lowest number of strokes on the hole by a player or team. If the scores end in a tie, there is no winner of the hole. Strokes tallied on one hole do not carry over to the next. So if a golfer or team has a bad score on one hole, the stroke score starts anew on the next hole. The first nine holes consists of four-ball team play. The 12-man teams pair up into six

twosomes to take on twosomes from the other team. In four ball, two team mem-bers score their best ball against the best ball of the other team with one point at stake in each match for a total of six team points. The second nine holes are played in an alternating stroke format. Here, the twosomes on each team alternate shots. Team members also alternate which holes they tee off on. Again, one point is at stake per match for a total of six team points. The final nine holes features 12 head-to-head singles match-es, with one point up for grabs in each singles match.

Four ball, alternating shot In the four-ball pairings,

ELGC won 4 points with ICC taking 2 points. In the alternating shot, ICC rallied back, winning a total of 4 points to make the match all square, 6-6. The cup winner would be decided by the singles matches with ELGC winning six match-es outright and halving three more for a total of 7.5 points. ICC could muster just three wins and three halves for 4.5 points to make the final tally 13.5 to 10.5 points. Golfers competing for ELGC included Eric Moreland, Cur-tis Johnson, Joe Johnston, Lee Denker, Lou Vissar, Joe Humphrey, Matt Teply, Matt Jablonski, Harold Nordhausen, Dan Fulton, Matt Borchers and Matt Klima. John Burke served

as the team’s non-playing cap-tain. Golfers competing for ICC included John Paisley, Dan Russell, Dirk Haarberg, Brad Spady, Daryl Sharp, Eric Mc-Daniel, Brad Cochran, Keithan Cochran, Russ Pankonin, Kirk Wilson, Jim Pirog and Tom Luhrs. Bob Thomas served as Imper ial’s non-playing captain. Results of the matches are as follows:

WP, Wallace and Hayes Center are listed as contenders to break into the Lincoln JournalStar rankings. RPAC foe Bertrand is 13-3 and ranked sec-ond in Class D-2.

“Providing Powerful Solutions For Changing Times”

Southwest Public Power District

Keep your fridge humming

The refrigerator is one of the home’s biggest energy hogs. But you can help it run more efficiently by: •Keeping it level. A fridge on an uneven floor can lean forward just enough to prevent the door gasket from sealing tightly when the door is closed. •Checking gaskets. Even on a level floor, a refrigerator’s door gasket can wear out over time. If your door isn’t closing tightly, replace the gasket. •Filling it up. A full refrigerator and freezer work more effi-ciently than a half-empty one. If you don’t have enough food and beverages in the refrigerator, fill it with jugs of water until about two-thirds of the empty space is taken. Same goes for the freezer: Pack bags full of ice and scatter them around in the freezer so it’s at least three-quarters full. •Cooling food before refrigerating it. Putting hot food into a refrigerator or freezer forces the unit to adjust its temperature to compensate for the heat. •Covering food before storing it in the fridge. Uncovered food and liquids release moisture and can force the compressor to work harder. •Moving the unit out of the sunlight and away from the oven. It has to work harder to keep everything cool when the outside of it is exposed to heat. •Leaving it some breathing room. So it can properly ventilate, a refrigerator needs some clearance between its top and the cabinets above it and between its sides and the walls. Likewise, don’t use the top of a refrigerator for storage. Cartons and other items can restrict airflow. •Cleaning it. Regularly wipe dust, dirt and cobwebs from the top of the fridge and from the coils behind it.
