Blue Valley Community Action Partnership (BVCAP) has requested funding to bring a unique home rehabilitation and home owner-ship program back to Fairbury. The program will pur-chase homes within Fairbury, rehabili-tate the property, lease the property for two years and finally sell the property to the leasee. BVCAP first piloted the program in three communi-ties, including Fair-bury, in 2011.According to Ben

Schwartz, Grant Development and Public Relations Office for BVCAP, “Purchase Rehab Lease Resell is a one-of-a-kind program in the State of Ne-braska, a hybrid model that combines the

pool is getting closer to opening day. As construction continues, administrative issues are also be-ing addressed.According to City Administrator

Colin Bielser, the pool is now fully staffed at 35 employees.“The pool doesn't require 35 peo-

ple. At full staff, the pool requires ten people,” Bielser explained. “We have more, obviously, because some kids only want to work part-time, some kids full-time. Some kids have camp or sports. So we have a depth chart.”Lifeguards are paid at minimum

wage. Salaries for assistant pool managers and the manager de-pend on qualifications. As for life-guard training, certification fees are paid 50/50 by the City and

the staff. Then, at the completion of the season, the city reimburses the employee for their 50 percent.The Public Works Committee

recommended allowing two free swim days at the city pool, June 3 and Aug. 5. At the Fairbury City Council meeting the evening of Tues., April 16, the Council voted unanimously to approve that rec-ommendation.Admission prices for the pool

have now been established. The daily rate is $4.50 for an adult, $3.50 for youths 12 years old and under, senior and military rate is $3.50 and the twilight swim (6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.) is $2.50. A ten-punch pass can be purchased for

Blue Valley Proposes New Lease Purchase Programstrengths of BVCAP’s rental and home owner-ship programs.”The program will operate in four stages.One: An income-qualified applicant identi-

fies a home they would like to purchase, and BVCAP buys the property.The lease-purchase program participant in-

come eligibility must be verified during the ap-plication process. BVCAP proposes assisting families whose incomes do not exceed the 120 percent area median income limit. Applicants must show a positive landlord history for the previous two years and criminal background checks must show no history of criminal activ-ity in the past three years. An applicant’s abil-ity to be financially able to purchase the home and sustain ownership within two years of the initial lease signing will be evaluated. It must be determined that barriers to home owner-ship may reasonably be addressed during the rental period.Once the participant has been accepted into

the program, the participant would be re-sponsible for locating a house that meets the

qualifications determined by BVCAP, which will then purchase the property.Two: An approved contractor rehabilitates the

home, bringing it up to state standards with an anticipated lifespan of 20 years.Schwartz said, “The main areas of emphasis

are safety, first and foremost, and then energy efficiency.”He also noted, “It’s also beneficial not only to

the applicants but also to the community as a whole. Most homeowners don’t stay in the home for longer than ten years, so it could be two or three households that will benefit from the work that’s done on these houses over the next 20 years.”Three: For two years, the program applicant

leases the home from BVCAP. During this time BVCAP owns and manages the property, while the applicant undergoes Housing Counseling to become mortgage ready.In a letter to the Fairbury City Council,

Lufkin Hired As NewCode Enforcement Officer

The official will have the use of a city vehicle for enforce-ment du-ties.The new

City em-ployee will be expected to monitor and enforce various ordinances and regula-tions related to zoning, land use, building, public nuisances, ani-mal, health and safety, blight and other matters of public concern.

Concerns were expressed about the intersection where the train tracks cross Highway 136 in Jan-sen at the April 9 county commis-sioners meeting.“Well, at that intersection, when

they load a 100 unit car train,” explained County Commissioner Michael Dux, “they block the intersection, which is normal, but they need to have all four direc-tions signed, and in my opinion, the most critical way is from the west, because if you’re coming from the south, the north or the east, you can tell that the inter-

Jansen Intersection Discussedsection is blocked, and the detour is from the west anyway.”Of particular concern are the

semi-trucks heading to the grain elevator. Dux said, “We’ve seen people making u-turns in the middle of the highway with semis and that’s certainly not safe.”Count Commissioners reviewed

a letter from the Farmer’s Coop-erative to the Nebraska Dept. of Roads, requesting a 250 clearance to the road crossing.

SHAZAM!

Holt was once a circus star, but he went off to war and when he returned it had terribly altered him. Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) hires him to take care of Dumbo, a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him the laughing stock of the struggling circus troupe

We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s case, by shouting out one word - SHAZAM! - this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult superhero Shazam.

Giving Back—(Above) Members of the Fairbury Grace Lutheran Church Youth Group donated $500 to the St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital at the KUTT radiothon on Friday. On hand were, from left to right, Josh Robertson, Trevor Steinmeyer, Tara Schroeder, Makenzie Layton, Isaac Robertson, Cash Kroll, Krystal Schroeder, Ava Kroll, Adaline Linscott, Heidi Layton. (Right) Miss Jef-ferson County, Tara Schro-eder, spoke on air about the donation.

$40. Season passes are $75 for an individu-al, $125 for a family of four, $200 for a family of five to eight members and a military pass is $60. Swimming lessons are $40 for a ten-hour course. A two-hour rental for a pool party is $100 for groups of less that 25 people and $150 for more than 25 people.For purposes of comparison, here are the

rates at some of the other pools in the region. Please remember, these pools vary greatly in size and the communities vary in population.For the DeWitt pool, the daily rate is $5, sea-

son passes are $45 for an individual and $85 for a family. Children five years old and under are admitted fee.At the Wilber pool, the daily rate is $5, $40

for a ten-punch pass, $75 for a single pass and $150 for a family pass.At the Geneva Aquatic Facility, the daily rate

is $4 for children or adults, $50 for an indi-vidual pass and $90 for a family pass.At the Hebron Municipal Pool, the daily rate

is $2.50, Mon. through Fri., or $3, Sat. & Sun., $55 for an individual pass and $90 for a family pass.After the recent City Council meeting, Bielser

was asked if the pool was still expected to open by Memorial Day.“That is our target date and I have not been

told any different,” he responded. He then added, “I can't control weather.”

Schwartz said, “It is the end goal of this program to prepare new buyers in such a way that they have money to bring to the table, can readily achieve the required first mortgage loan, and have a compre-hensive understand-ing of what it means to be a successful homeowner.”Each month, a por-

tion of the rent will be set aside from the rent and placed in an escrow account. The money collected in this account will be available for the household to be used for the down payment when the household transitions from leas-ing to ownership.Ownership respon-

sibilities will be split between BVCAP and the tenant. The household will be responsible to pay rent, utilities, and standard property upkeep. BVCA will cover the property tax, homeowner’s insurance, and capi-

tal expenditures while also providing tenant serves and general property manage-ment.Four: After two

years, the applicant purchases the home from BVCAP.The Nebraska De-

partment of Economic Development is ac-cepting applications for up to $500,000 in Nebraska Afford-able Housing Program funds this year. Ap-plicants must provide ten percent match-ing funds. On Tues., April 16, Schwartz and Housing Director Kim Clark appeared at the Fairbury City Council meeting to request $50,000 in LB-840 funds for the program.Schwartz said, “If we

are fully funded, this program will rehab at least four homes here in Fairbury, more if funding allows.”The City Council

voted unanimously to approve the distri-bution of $50,000 to BVCAP.

Highway Dept. Superintendent Jason Eyer said, “Why we’re discussing this is that we know a lot of the trucks are turning around on the highway there. You know we get several complaints about that.”Dux added, “And the Co-op has been call-

ing dispatch for 911 services, so they’re all aware (that the road may be blocked), but that doesn’t help with the semi-trucks.”The problem is caused when truck drivers

don’t realize the road is blocked by a train un-til they have passed the detour, and then have to turn around on the highway.Dux said, “I’m getting more phone calls

and complaints that it is not signed from the west.”The sign that was there had to be lashed to

a pole in order to prevent wind from knock-ing it over, but that placed it far enough from the road that it wasn’t always seen by drivers. The Commissioners suggested the solution was a larger, permanent flip sign that is heavy enough not to be knocked over by the wind and can be flipped up when needed.Tom Goodbarn with the Nebraska Dept. of

Transportation (NDOT) was on hand to dis-cuss options. “You can’t put non-standard highway signs out on the highway,” he said.“We can do a better job of signing but just

drop a letter to the department and ask us and we’ll work with that,” Goodbarn said. “De-scribe the problem, submit the problem and we’ll work out the right permit, get the right sign up there.”

of two duplex structures, comprising four housing units, which has already been com-pleted. The request had previously been reviewed and recommended by the LB-840 Economic Development Review Committee on March 18, 2019.The City Council voted unanimously to ap-

prove the issuing of funds.The LB-840 Committee also recommended to

approve a request from the City of Fairbury for $125,000 to conduct road improvements on 13th Street between A and Elm Streets, in-cluding the construction of curb and gutter as well as installing six inch concrete pavement.During the hearing, City Councilperson

Douglas Brown said, “When I started this gig 15 years ago, that was one of my goals, to fix the streets. I feel that there’s a better place to spend that $125,000 then on 13th Street from A to Elm Street. I know it does qualify for LB-840 because there is one commercial business there. I question the access to that. There’s not a lot of retail traffic at that commercial business, and if there was traffic, I think they would probably access it from A Street any-way. I would sooner see this $125,000 go to the industrial park. We have a new business

going to relocate up there and we have some existing business, and anyone that’s been up there knows that those roads need some work. That’s just my thoughts.”“I would tend to agree,” Councilperson Ed

Friesen said. “I agree with Doug, in that it seems like it would be a better deal to spend that money there.”Brown made a motion to not approve the

resolution. The motion was seconded and voted on. The motion was passed, with only Roger Bailey voting no.

Double WinterDid we just live

through a double-winter?This has been the

longest, coldest, and snowiest winter I can remember. At the dimmest point, we had multiple weeks in a row where the tem-perature never rose above freezing. Then came all the flooding, tragic accidents, and death; making this winter feel even more grey, overcast, and never-ending.Our community has

experienced far too much loss these past few months. Lent, in many ways, sought us out this time around, as most of us didn’t have to work very hard to find the spirit of the season. Most years, I feel dis-connected during the season of Lent. Our comfortable American lifestyle often makes it difficult to feel dis-traught and in need. But this year was different. Lent nestled

her way into my heart and mind, along with the feelings of loss and doubt. This year’s Good Friday service felt like a homecoming, captur-ing the feelings of loss most of us have within our current circumstances.Thank God for Eas-

ter! A new day is com-

ing, and a new earth along with it. This is not the end and death does not have the final word. We have received but a foretaste of the life to come in Christ. Right now, we see as in a mirror, dimly, but one day we will see Christ face-to-face. God will make all things new. And he will make his home among his people. He will wipe away every tear from our eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. Christ has conquered death. “Where, O death, is

your victory? Where, oh death, is your sting?”I heard a song by

Craig Campbell on the radio yesterday that said, “When I die, I want to live on the outskirts of heaven.” The song went on to say that he didn’t want to live with gold roads, mansions, and pearly gates; but in the nat-ural world of rivers full of fish, hayfields, blue skies and green grass. It’s a common misconception in our culture that we will spend eternity in heaven, playing harps in white robes sit-ting on clouds. That doesn’t seem like an eternity worth living – or dying – for. I love baseball,

mountains, long walks, and sitting on the porch watch-ing my kids play in the yard. I long for a world much like this one; minus the pain, tragedy, and conflict.

One where I can ex-perience both God and his created beauty simul-tane-ously. And, thank God, that is exactly what Scripture has promised. That is the good news of Easter! Jesus is risen! In him is life eternal, and he is coming back for us. And with him, he will bring a new heaven and a new earth – much like the earth we know and love today. But death, sorrow, and pain will be no more. We will delight in God and his creation, just as he intended from the beginning. And, hope-fully, no more winter – unless we desire to go sledding.Thanks be to God.Pr. Victor PetersonFairbury/Endicott/

The Easter season gives us all a chance at reflection and renewal. We can take stock in our lives and look around our community to see what is right and what can be changed for the better.There has been a lot of talk about the

upcoming 150th celebration of Fairbury amongst those helping put the celebra-tion on, namely the Fairbury Community Foundation and the Fairbury City Museum board. Unfortunately, that is where all the talk is coming from, not the community in general, but those organizing the celebra-tion.There are efforts to improve the Fourth of

July celebration in Fairbury by having at-tractions downtown to keep people around after they stop at the Flea Market. The ef-forts and buzz is coming from a small group of folks trying to get the celebration, and moreover, the community, jumpstarted.Everyone should be helping spread this

buzz about the Fourth of July and the 150th celebration. Start talking now, start planning now, start the ripple effect now to make it engrained in everyone’s mind that these events are worthwhile and these events are beneficial to everyone, the busi-ness owners, the civic groups, the everyday citizens. Let’s put the thoughts in our heads and get the word spread far and wide. The Fourth of July Flea Market is a tre-

mendous draw to the area, but people come to the park, shop a bit, then leave. We need to keep them around and see the business-es downtown and the other attractions we have, like the new pool, which will be open in a few weeks.The 150th celebration can be the start of

an annual celebration here in town that should draw folks from the region. Germanfest ran its course and the region

has an opportunity to capture some out-of-town folks other than racing fans to see what we have to offer.Apathy won’t get us anywhere and many

communities don’t have the opportunities we have here in Fairbury.All it will take is some synergy, which

starts with us as a community.

Last week LB 657, The Nebraska Hemp Act passed the first round of voting on a 37-4 vote. LB 657 is my personal priority bill this year. The way it is going now leads me to believe Nebraskans will be able to plant in-dustrial hemp this spring. Two more rounds of debate and it goes to the Governor to be signed into law.The Revenue Committee released their prop-

erty tax relief proposal last week. The proposal is $500 million dollar relief package. I along with other senators were pushing for that number to be closer to $800 million. That is the number that would provide meaningful property tax relief for our landowners, in my opinion. I am looking forward to the upcoming floor

discussion on property taxes. The legislature is motivated to get something done this year. I am cautiously optimistic at this point. I will be very active when this comes up for debate and hopefully I will be able to educate my col-leagues and eventually get them on our side. If you have any questions please call my

office at (402)471-2711 or send me an email at tbrandt@leg.ne.gov or my Legislative Aide Camdyn Kavan at ckavan@leg.ne.gov.-Senator Tom Brandt

Put The Gun Debate To RestIt is past time to put the sage of the Gatling

gun to rest. Up to now we have heard a lot of whining about how Plymouth got ‘jobbed’ out of possession of this artifact. Here is a more plausible account. Once upon a time a group of civic minded person decided to cre-ate a memorial for Plymouth area residents who had served in the Union army during the Civil War, said veterans were members of the Grand Army of the Republic (see GAR markers in your cemetery).The interested citizens applied to Washing-

ton and requested that a canon be donated to serve as a memorial for placement at a local cemetery. They got a naval Gatling gun, circa 1886, instead. This was not what they had in mind and the gun languished for many years with Plymouth area businesses before it was loaned to the Jefferson County Historical Soci-ety. Subsequently, in the early 1960s, the re-cord shows it was donated to the museum by the then mayor of Plymouth. Whether or not there are minutes to reflect town board action from over half a century ago is immaterial, regardless of the opinion of select attorneys.A notice in the county-wide newspaper ad-

vising persons who had loaned items to the museum to collect said items or they would become property of the museum. I know this

because an item my grandmother loaned was forfeited to the museum. No one from Plym-outh at that time thought it important enough to retrieve the gun. Or, like my family, maybe they were unaware of the notice. The location of the gun, however, was not controversial until recently when it was learned that the artifact had considerable monetary value.The Gatling gun is currently displayed at the

Fairbury City Museum in a room with other military memorabilia from our nations’ wars dating back to the Civil War. How is relocating it to the Jefferson County Court House in con-junction with a World War II county veteran’s recognition an improvement or more appro-priate? It is not. Leave the gun where it is. Anyone from the county who wants to view it may do so. The City of Fairbury does not need to make amends, nor apologize for anything. There is not the slightest reason to believe that anyone pressured the original donation. Finally, the court house location is not a me-morial to Civil War veterans. Locating it at the court house would be a concession to a small group with a contrived grievance. Enough is enough. Put the matter to rest and leave the gun where it has been, in the museum, for the past six decades./s/ Stephen C. Deger

SOUTH SIDE BURNS

Fire Consumes Everything From the Post Office to

Groff's Restaurant.$200,000

ESTIMATED LOSS!Fire Starts in Neuman &

Bone's Lumber Yard And in One Hour the Entire Block

is in Ruins—Sparks Fly over the Court House and Meth-

odist Church Burns.

FIRE broke out about three o'clock Thursday after-noon in the rear of Neuman & Bone's Lumber yard. In ten minutes the yard was in aflame, while great volumes of dense, black smoke poured over the town. The wind was blowing a gale from the south and before anything could be done to check the flames in the least, the whole south side of the square was burning. From Neuman's lumber yard, the fire spread quickly to Switzer's lumber yard which is just across the alley east. Every-thing was dry as tinder and the immense piles of dry pine in the two lumber yards made fuel for the flames which soon developed into a roaring, rag-ing demon of fire. The rear of almost every building on the south side of the square caught fire almost at the same instant. The frame build-ings south of the post office caught and went up in smoke in no time. While the fire was at its worst the court house caught fire and almost at the same instant fire broke out in Weeks' lumber yard at the northeast corner of the square and in several other places on the north, east and west sides. Nothing but the herculean ef-forts of the citizens saved the entire city from destruction. The wind increased in volume, but shifted to the west so that the fire district was changed. The old court house build-

ing on the south side of the square, occupied by Groff's restaurant, was saved and the building next to it, where the Hub clothing store was located, is partly saved. Ev-erything else in the block was consumed, including Neuman & Bone's lumber yard, Swit-zer's lumber yard, the post office building including the Fairbury Telephone central office, J. C. Hartigan's law of-fice, and Ryburn & McAnulty's insurance office above; G. P. Weisel's drug store, with Dr. Andrews' office and sev-eral roomers above; Tincher & Dickenson Bros store with roomers above; Thornton's hardware store with W. H. Barnes' law office, and a tin shop above; McLaurin's harness shop with roomers above; the Harbine bank; Mor-ris, bakery, occupied above by Mr. Morris for a dwelling; Leroy's jewelry store; H. H. Todt, shoe store; Pease's drug store, occupied in the second story by Mr. Pease for a dwell-ing; McDonnell's general store and Sprague's feed store, oc-cupied above by the Steeles opera house, Dr. Clay Brock and Wm. McPhail's offices; the Hub clothing store, with Dr. Dodge and Dr. Gahagen of-fices and some roomers in the rear.The fire struck about the

middle of the block first and McDonnell's and Pease's were the first to go. The old Farm-er's Home hotel, a wooden structure facing the west, added fuel to the flames and made the fire harder to keep back. It went up in a few min-utes. The rooms in this build-ing were used by Landlord Johnson of the Parker house as an overflow, and below by O.L. Stewart for a poultry es-tablishment. Little was saved.On the other sides of the

square everyone fought to save their property. Garden hose, pails and dippers were used to carry and throw water and everything which would burn was kept wet. The whole population hurried out and everybody worked like bea-vers. At Jenkins' and Sar-bach's corners the heat was terrific, but these places were

saved with little damage. The awnings were let down over the plate glass and by keep-ing them wet, the glass was saved from cracking from the heat. The wind blew sparks all over the northeast part of town, as far north as Geo. Aden's new house northeast of the high school building, a pile of rubbish caught fire. Dr. Dodge's residence, three blocks from the fire, caught, but was put out. When the fire on the south side was beginning to be controlled, the roof of the Methodist church caught and in a few minutes the entire structure burned down. The parsonage adjoin-ing also caught in the roof and was partially consumed.The fire had hardly started

until it was seen that help would be needed and dis-patches were sent to Bea-trice, Lincoln and Belleville. The Beatrice Fire Department responded and arrived about 4:30 in time to do valuable service, altho the fire was pretty well under control. The police were unable to keep order and Col. McDonnell wired the adjutant-general for orders to call out the militia. The order was sent and Co D patrolled the burnt district from five o'clock on.The Fairbury Fire Depart-

ment, with two hose carts and one hook and ladder cart, did excellent work, many of the members risking their lives to save property.

MIDWEST HEMP FORUM'S CLATONIA HEMP FARMERS FORUMWhere: Clatonia Community CenterWhen: Friday May 3rd, Noon-4PM

GEORGE WASHINGTON MADE HIS FORTUNE IN HEMP AND SO COULD YOU!! CLAIM YOUR FREE TICKETS TO-DAY AT hempfarmersforum.comIn December of 2018 President Donald J. Trump signed the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 which legalized interstate commerce and the Agricultural Production, Sale & Transpor-tation of Cannabis Sativa with less than 0.3% THC by volume. Your State Senator Tom Brandt has co-sponsored and priori-tized legislation following President Trump's lead. The legaliza-tion of hemp at the federal level has opened up a new industry for our region. Hear from Farmers currently growing hemp in places like Canada & Oregon, local harvesting equipment experts and processors like John Lupien of Bastcore. Hear what they have learned and what to look out for in this rapidly growing industry! Former Senator Norm Wallman will give remarks, and locals Alex Seyfert & Colin Fury will give an intro-duction to the history of hemp and its uses in the marketplace. If you are interested in adding hemp into your operation as you look to diversify---for oil, seed, or fiber production, this event is for you.

It’s very important that your air conditioning system is regularly maintained and repaired or replaced when it is no longer working properly. Old air conditioning units will only require more energy to operate. Make sure you that clean filters, vents and ducts help your air conditioning system perform efficiently. As your HVAC system draws air in and over its coils, it also pulls in the accompany-ing dust, dirt, and debris. If left to build up, the system will have to work harder to pull air through the system. Additionally, the pollen, dust, and other contaminants can create an unhealthy indoor environment. How to set your thermostat

during the summer: For each degree you can com-fortably raise the thermo-stat, you save 3% to 5% on your monthly air condition-ing bill. Keeping your ther-mostat around 78-degrees will reduce your cooling bill and still be comfortable. While you are away from home, set it four degrees higher than your normal. If you keep the house at 75 degrees, set it to 79 while away.Don’t turn your thermostat/

air conditioner off when leav-ing on vacation or for an ex-tended period of time. Do not set your thermostat higher than 84 degrees. The heat and humidity can damage your home and possessions

in the form of mold, warped wood, and pest problems.If you want your A/C to keep

pumping out that cold air, it’s important to keep the out-door unit clean and free from debris and make sure that the surface that the unit sets on it completely level for proper functionality.

Cooling Tips To Help You Save Money

The Benefits of Pruning In Early Spring

Trees take care of you and your property by providing shade, oxygen and aesthetic beauty – now is the time to say “thanks” by giving them the care they need. Proper pruning paves the way for healthy spring growth, giving your trees the best chance to thrive.

Help Control DiseaseDuring the warm season, fresh cuts are more vulnerable to

insects, which are hosts to tree-killing bacteria and fungi. Pruning during the dormant season protects your trees from the spread of dis-

ease and makes them less vulnerable to attack once temperatures heat up and insect activity increases.Some trees, like oaks, should only be pruned during the dormant sea-

son because they are especially susceptible to oak wilt disease, which is known to spread extremely fast in the spring and summer.Faster Healing ProcessWhen you prune a tree, you are actually wounding it. Like people, trees

need adequate time to recover from their wounds and bounce back. The dormant season, when trees are already at rest, is the best time for them to heal. Pruning trees before new growth begins exposes them to less stress and allows for more robust new growth in the spring.Protection from Harsh WeatherWithout dense foliage in the way, arborists can get a better picture of

the tree’s storm readiness, meaning how it will handle extreme weather. Removing weak and vulnerable branches gives trees more structural strength to withstand severe weather, especially wet spring snows and high winds.Benefits the Existing LandscapePurposeful pruning opens the tree’s canopy, allowing more sunlight to

reach grass and other plants at a time when light is scarce.

Concentration and memoryStudies show that those

working around nature are more productive and better able to concentrate on the task at hand.Overall happinessHaving flowers and

ornamental plants in your office, at home or in your yard im-proves your mood and increase posi-tive energy, making you more relaxed and happier. And the more time you spend outside, surrounded by nature, the more positive your outlook on life.Improves relationships and

increases compassion

According to the study, the longer you spend time around plants and landscaping, the

better your relationships and the more compassion you feel for others.

LearningThe more time children spend around plants and landscaping, the better they learn and more they concentrate. It even helps those with Attention Deficit Disor-der to concentrate and

engage with the world around themIt’s clear: the more time

you spend outside in your garden, the better you’ll feel. It helps you disconnect, decom-press and just feel better.

Stop in for all your DIY projects this Spring!

Style your Home for the Spring SeasonLike you, many

homeowners will be interested in painting their homes and giving it a new lease of life.Whether you are

wanting to change the exterior color of your home or just giving it a fresh coat of paint, it’s pulling up to your freshly painted home that gives you that “oh yeah” moment.If you are ready for

a change this spring with new paint colors for your interior walls, cabinets or ceilings, just being able to open the windows while the paint dries is a great spring plus.Painting the walls

can give a completely new feel for a room. Some are saying for

this spring, colors that are of copper descent, greens or blues will be in for 2019, you could always be wild and do one accent wall, so whatever your taste, you can always consult with your local paint store to help.A rather small yet

significant painting project like cabinet painting can improve the look of the kitchen entirely, just make

sure to choose colors that work well with other elements in the kitchen.Choose a calming

color for the bedroom such as a blue, green or light brown are popular this year, but pick a color that improves your mood and gives you a good night’s sleep.Or like some who

don’t like to paint, hire a professional.

the highest preferred setting for your grass type and only cut the top 1/3 of the grass blades at any one time, even if this means you have to mow again after several days. Mow a Dry LawnSome say the best

time of day to mow a lawn is in the early evening. Mowing at the peak of day, when temperatures are high-est, stresses both the lawn and the mower. If you wait until the early evening, the lawn is usually dry (unless it has rained during the day), the sun is not as intense, and the lawn will have ample time to recover before the next afternoon’s heat arrives. If it does rain, wait for your lawn to dry before mowing, as cutting wet grass can result in an uneven trim. Vary Your Mowing Pat-

ternEach time you mow,

do it in a different direction. If you always

cut your lawn using the same pattern, your grass learns which direction it’s being cut from and begins to lean in the direction you mow. By varying the mowing pattern, you help avoid forming ruts in the lawn. Don't Mow on a Sched-

uleMow as often as

needed for your grass type, growing condi-tions, growth pattern, and season. Sticking to a schedule, like ev-ery Saturday, doesn’t allow your lawn to be mowed when it actu-ally needs it. Wait Before Mowing a

New LawnAfter spreading grass

seed, it’s best to wait for your new grass to get off to a great start before mowing. New grass seedlings can be

cut for the first time when they've reached mowing height, which varies by grass type. No matter what type of grass you have, do not cut more than the top of the grass blades. A dramatic cutting can shock and stress new grass plants, slowing down the growth of your new lawn.Leave Grass Clippings

on Your LawnWhen mowing, leave

the clippings on the lawn. Grass clippings break down quickly and return beneficial nutrients to the soil. Mow often enough so too much isn’t re-moved at once and clippings are small. Removing too much of the grass blade shocks the grass and leaves piles of long clippings on the lawn that do

not break down quick-ly and can smother growing grass.Hint: If you do bag

clippings, toss them in the garden as mulch or compost them, but only if you haven’t used any lawn weed control products.Keep Your Mower

Blade SharpFor the cleanest

cut, sharpen mower blades at the first sign of wear. Dull blades tear up grass, causing ragged, brown edges. Continually using a dull mower blade can also cause your grass to weaken over time, making it more sus-ceptible to disease, insect damageHeed These Helpful

Lawn Care RemindersWhen using a push

mower, always push in a forward direction.

Have The Best Lawn On The Block

Getting The Most Out Of Your RemodelWhen planning a house remodel, it

can be tempting to skip to the excit-ing stage of choosing new paint colors, fixtures and fittings, but in order for any renovation to go smoothly, there are several things to think about before you even begin.When it comes to kitchen remodels, the

sky’s the limit as far as costs are con-cerned. But rather than gutting your exist-ing kitchen down to the studs and starting from scratch, you can do a minor kitchen remodel – which may include upgrades such as new flooring, new countertops, new appliances, and refurbishing the cabi-nets – and get back most of the money you put in.Siding isn’t the obvious thing people think of

when it’s time to remodel, but it makes a big im-pact on the overall value of your home. Replac-ing the siding is a renovation that’s well worth the money. New windows don’t just look better – they also

have unexpected benefits like keeping your en-ergy costs down. Potential buyers want replace-ment windows and are willing to pay top dollar for them. A bathroom remodel isn’t a quick or cheap

weekend project, but you’ll get back almost as much as you put in, especially if you stick to neutral color palettes and updated fixtures. No one wants to pay to replace a roof – they’d

much rather it was already done, and recently. This unglamorous yet essential upgrade is worth the money you spend when you can add, “new roof!” to your listing. You know that plain old front door you have?

Taking it to the next level by replacing it with a grand entry door complete with glass side pan-els. It makes your house look more welcoming and appeals to a broad range of sellers.

six during the 18-hole tourna-ment while Feulner carded no higher than a seven on any hole.The consistency led to both

placing in the top 15 out of 37 golfers at the event. Thayer Cen-tral’s No. 1 golfer, Feulner, fired a round of 94 to finish in 13th at the six-team event.Petersen led his team with a

round of 95, tying for 14th place with the score.Devin Wanamaker had the

second-lowest score for the Jeffs (105) and placed 21st with the 18-hole score. Jake Martin, who has not consistently been in the Jeffs varsity lineup, was Fair-bury’s No. 3 golfer on the day. He carded a 120, the 26th best score of the invite.Martin rebounded from a score

By Nathan HeuerTo be the best you

have to beat the best.The Fairbury and

Thayer Central track and field teams com-peted against some of the most elite track athletes in the state on Thursday at the third annual Nebras-ka Track and Field at Papillion La-Vista South High School.The Jeffs, who took

22 athletes to the prestigious event, earned a total of six medals between the girl’s and boy’s squads.Putting forth one

of their best efforts of the season was Fairbury’s Isaac Robertson and Dillon Weichel.The latter recorded

a personal-best time in the 300-meter hurdles (43.23 sec-onds) and finished in seventh place with the mark, missing out on a medal by .14 seconds. Weichel’s previous best time in the event was 43.86 seconds.The Concordia Uni-

versity track and field recruit clocked his ca-reer-best time in the slowest heat of the festival, as he took first place in the first of three heats. It’s something that shows his head coach, Derek Garfield, that his po-tential is tremendous.“He is a well-round-

ed hurdler that has a great combination of speed and great form. I would have liked to have seen him in the fast heat at the festival to see how he could have finished being pushed but I was really happy with his performance on Thursday. Meets like the Festival will prepare him for the stretch run where we hope to see him qualify for the state

track meet,” Garfield said.Robertson earned

one of the Fairbury boys two individual medals on Thurs-day with a jump of over 41 feet in the triple. While the senior didn’t get a personal-best mark at the meet, Robertson crossed the 41-foot barrier for just the second time in his career in the finals at the festival.The three-sport ath-

lete placed fourth in the event with a jump of 41 feet 1 inch. Robertson topped re-turning Class A state qualifier Kaden Ross of North Platte in the event, who finished in fifth (40-11).Garfield thought

Robertson’s perfor-mance on Thursday is around the same type of one he’ll need if he wants to make it to Omaha for the state track meet next month. The Fairbury boys head coach is confident he’ll be able

to accomplish the feat as Robertson’s consistency is some of the best he’s ever seen.“He is one of the

most consistent jumpers I have coached when it comes to being on the board. His ap-proach is always spot on which allows us to tweak his phases throughout track meets and in-between jumps. He has really started to improve his second phase of the triple jump which has benefited him greatly.“He has a great

work ethic and is very coachable. That combination along with great talent has helped him have tremendous year,” Garfield said.Dylan Starr added

an individual medal to the Jeffs collection by finishing fifth in the high jump with a 5 feet 10 inch clear-ance.In the girls division

junior Sara Huss

showed off potential in an array of events including the discus, 400, and 1,600 relay.Huss secured a

silver medal in the discus (135-4), a fourth-place finish in the 400 (1:01.77), and was the lead leg on the Lady Jeffs fourth-place 1,600-re-lay that featured Cora DeBoer, Mikwena Lierman, and Mikasa Lierman.Jessa Eden added to

the Lady Jeffs suc-cess in the discus by placing fourth (126-4). The duo of her and Huss have now placed in the top four in discus of every meet they have gone to this season.“Sara and Jessa

have been consistent all year in the discus and continue to work hard. This will help them over the last part of the season,” Fairbury head girls track coach Matt Ed-son said.Thayer Central

sent 20 athletes to

the meet and while the Titans weren’t at 100-percent health, they still earned a pair of medals at predominantly Class A event.After resetting her

high jump record on Tuesday at the Superior Invite to 5 feet 4 1/2 inches, sophomore Chloe Souerdyke cleared 5 feet 2 inches at Thursday’s meet to take third place. Five girl athletes cleared 5 feet 2 inches at the meet but failed to clear 5-4, leaving the final placements up to attempts it took to clear 5-2, etc.Grace Souerdyke

kept the Souerdyke record-breaking theme going for the Lady Titans at the festival with an all-time best mark in the triple jump. The senior broke the school-record in the event, recording a mark of 33 feet 3/4 inches. She finished in seventh place with

the distance, missing out on a medal by 2 1/2 inches.“Grace has had the

triple jump record in her sites for a long time. It was great to see her achieve the goal of breaking that record. The previous record was held by Angie Wit of 32 feet 11 inches that was set in 2003. “Grace is focused

on being technically sound. She is very good at self- evaluat-ing and then correct-ing. She is great to coach because she can take the recom-mendations, I give her and directly ap-ply them to the next jump,” Thayer Central head girls track coach Deb Vorderstrasse said.Thayer Central’s

3,200-relay team (Trey Fischer, Keegan Casey, Dylan Fischer, Zach Koss) took third

In the Fairbury swimmers first meet of the season on Thursday, sophomore Mikwena Lierman punched her ticket to state in two events at Lincoln Northeast High School. Lierman was a part of the Beatrice-Norris-Fairbury-Friend 200-medley relay team that set the school record with an automatic qualifying time of 1:57.17. The three-sport athlete also auto qualified in the 50 freestyle (25.40).

By Nathan HeuerIt was the Emily

Swanson and Sky-lar Pretzer show on Thursday at the Friend Invite and the returning state plac-ers team reaped the benefits.The Diller-Odell duo

combined for five gold medals on the Lady Griffins way to a runner-up finish as a team. Cross County won the girls division with 114 points while Diller-Odell accu-mulated 91 to take second place.Swanson secured

three golds including first place finishes in the high jump – tied the meet record with a 5 feet 2 inch clear-ance – the 1,600-me-ter run (6 minutes 12.9 seconds), and the long jump (15 feet 6 1/4 inches). The junior added a bronze medal in the 300

Griffin Track Teams Earn Runner-Up Honors, Claim Nine Gold Medalshurdles with a time of 49.9 seconds.With Swanson find-

ing success in every event she has com-peted in during the season (800, 1,600, 100 hurdles, 300 hurdles, pole vault, high jump, long jump) Diller-Odell head coach Terry Arnold is unsure of what events she’ll compete in come postseason time but knows it’s a good problem to have.“Emily had a good

day in long jump yesterday, which I was not surprised about. We still have a few weeks to really figure out where she best fits at the dis-trict level. She has a few running events and a few field events that she could have good success with. We just need to find where she can have the most success,” he said.

Pretzer, a sopho-more, won the 200-meter dash (27.5) and the 100-meter dash (12.9). In the long jump Pretzer finished in third place with a leap of 15 feet 1 inch.Junior Mackenzie

Vitosh added to the Griffins collection of gold medal with a first-place finish in the discus (99 feet 11 inches).Outside of the six

gold medals earned by the Lady Griffins, Diller-Odell claimed 12 additional med-als from athletes who placed inside the top six. The fact is some-thing that Diller-Odell head coach feels is crucial to having team success.“Winning an event

and getting 10 points is big towards com-peting for team plac-ings, but every point matters. Someone

going out and placing fifth in the 1,600-me-ter run or something of that nature not only gets us points but takes points away from other teams. I was pleased with the way everyone compet-ed,” Arnold said.The Diller-Odell boys

replicated the girls outing as the Grif-fin boys took second place in the boys division. Diller-Odell tallied 86 points to take second place as a team, seven points greater than third-place East Butler. Freeman won the team title with 162 points.Diller-Odell earned

13 individual med-als, two of which were gold, and placed in the top four in each relay event.Austin Jurgens

garnered a first-place finish in the discus (134-6) and Armando

Jones accomplished the same feat in the pole vault with an 11-foot clearance.The Griffins 1,600

relay (Daylin Craw, Ryan Arnold, Ar-mando Jones, William McLaughlin) also took claimed top-honors with a time of 3:43.4.Jurgens and

McLaughlin placed second in one indi-vidual event apiece, doing so in the shot put and 300 hurdles. Jurgens had a best mark of 40 feet 7 1/2 inches in the shot put, while McLaugh-lin clocked a 44.2 second time in the 300 hurdles to take second.Meridian also com-

peted at the meet and the Lady Mustangs had a pair of top two finishes in field events. The school-record holder in the pole vault, Andi Kort, cleared nine feet to

win the event.Junior Halle Pribyl

recorded a career-best mark in the triple jump (32 feet 10 1/2 inches) and placed second with the distance.The Meridian girls

placed sixth out of the 10 teams compet-ing at the event.Micah Noel had the

best outing on the Mustang boys team with two fourth-place finishes. He did so in both throwing events, the discus (121-6) and the shot put (38-6 1/2). Meridian took eight

place in the boys divi-sion.Meridian will head to

Osceola on Saturday for the Crossroads Conference track meet, while Diller-Odell will head to Pawnee City on Sat-urday for the Pioneer Conference meet.

By Nathan HeuerIt was a record-setting week for the

Souerdyke sisters, Chole and Grace, and the younger got the first record of the week for the Thayer Central girls track team.Chloe Souerdyke, a sophomore, reset her

high jump record that she set as a fresh-man a year ago at Tuesday’s Superior Invite. Chole cleared 5 feet 4 1/2 inches in the event to earn a gold medal and raise her previous record by a 1/2 inch.Grace Souerdyke, a senior, would go on to

set the school’s triple jump record at the Ne-braska Track and Field Festival on Thursday (33 feet 3/4 inches).Thayer Central head coach Deb Vorderstras-

se gave some insight between the sister’s close relationship and their competitive nature.”Having each of the Souerdyke girls be suc-

cessful in their events to great for both,” Vorderstrasse said. “They have been raised in a very competitive environment, and it shows.

Souerdyke Raises The Bar On High Jump RecordThey were joking the other day that they might switch events for the day, just to get more personal bests.”Chloe’s gold-medal performance on Tuesday

was one of four first-place finishes for the Lady Titans.Sydney Havel won the 100-meter hurdles

(17.6 seconds) and fellow hurdler Madelyn Wells won the 300 hurdles (51.2 seconds).The school-record holder in the pole vault,

Mikenzy Andersen, earned a gold medal in that event with a 10-foot clearance, tying her school-record that she has now cleared four times this season.The Thayer Central girls finished in sec-

ond place with 103 points, 21 points behind champion Hastings St. Cecilia, and five points ahead of third-place Grand Island Central Catholic.In the boy’s division, Thayer Central won the

team title by the slightest of margins, edging

out Superior to claim top honors.Returning state placer Zach Koss had argu-

ably his best day on the track this season with personal-best times in the 400-meter dash (52.32) and the 800-meter run (2:01.10). Both times were good enough for first place.For the first time this season Phillip Price ran

the 300 hurdles and according to his time the fact would be hard to believe. Price clocked a first-place time of 43.15 seconds, which is the fastest time in the area this season. He also won the 110 hurdles in a time of 16.18 sec-onds.Keegan Casey and Damian Stewart placed

first and second in the mile to earn their team a combined 18 points. Casey clocked a time of 4 minutes 54.73 seconds while fellow senior, Stewart, was just under six seconds behind him (5:00.43).Thayer Central will compete at the Southern

Nebraska Conference meet in Milford on Sat-urday starting at 10 a.m.

Trap Team Has GreatDay At Nebraska City

By Nathan HeuerThe Fairbury, Wilber-Clatonia, and Tri

County track teams all found a great deal of success at Tuesday’s Dan Tesar Invite as all six squads placed inside the top five in their respective divisions at the 10-team meet.Wilber-Clatonia came away from the meet

with a team title in the boys division via three gold-medal performances and 14 top four finishes.Fairbury finished in third place in the boys

division along with Tri County, who took fourth place, just one point behind the Jeffs.In the girls division, Fairbury snagged run-

ner-up honors as a team with 119 points. Lincoln Lutheran narrowly edged out the Lady Jeffs for the girls team title with 120.33 points. The Wilber-Clatonia girls team claimed a fourth-place finish with 48 points. Tri Coun-ty was a close fifth with 45 points.Wilber-Clatonia senior Michael Pulliam tied

his pole vault school-record that he set earlier in the year (April 9) at Tuesday’s meet with a clearance of 14 feet 6 inches. The Doane foot-ball commit won the event by three feet.Mason Combs garnered the Wolverines

second and final individual gold of the event with a personal-record in the triple jump. The freshman leaped 41 feet 11 1/2 inches. The distance would have earned him a sixth-place medal in Class C at last year’s state meet.The Wolverines 3,200-relay team crossed the

finish line in a season-best time of 8 min-utes 33.38 seconds to win the race by nearly six seconds. The team consisted of Dawson Hoover, Tommy Lokken, Layne Evans, and Seth Vlasak.Doane football recruit Coltin Rezabek earned

Wilber-Clatonia’s lone individual silver medal by jumping 19 feet 4 1/2 inches in the long jump.Wilber-Clatonia’s 1,600 relay team (Evans,

Drey Heller, William Chica, Luke Skyes) also finished in second place (3:39.76).For the first time this season Tri County

senior Creighton Niemeyer was entered in the 3,200-meter run and the three-sport standout thrived in his first outing in the event since last year. Niemeyer clocked an area-best time by over 22 seconds and placed first at Tues-day’s meet with a time of 10 minutes 9.15 seconds.Niemeyer doubled down in the 800 meters,

winning the race by a slim .74 seconds over Lincoln Lutheran’s Jacob Meyer. The senior clocked a season-best 2:00.06 in the race.Fellow Trojan senior Evan Larson claimed

runner-up honors in the pole vault (11-6) and third in the 1,600 (4:54.74).The Fairbury boys track and field team were

paced by a trio of top-two finishers in Dylan Starr, Dalton Buxton, and Isaac Robertson.Buxton threw a career-best 137 feet 10

inches in discus and the distance gave him a comfortable advantage over runner-up Noah Sauberan (126). The senior also finished sixth in shot put.Dylan Starr won the high jump by tying his

personal-best clearance of six feet. Robertson added to the jumping success of the Jeffs with a runner-up finish in the triple jump (40-6 1/4).Fairbury head boys coach Derek Garfield was

pleased with his team’s finish as there was plenty of improvements made in both field and running events.“Bringing home some gold medals is always

a great thing. We are starting to be very com-petitive on the track as well with a lot of kids bringing home medals,” Garfield said. “In the last few years we have scored the majority of our points as a team in the field events and it

Dan Tesar Invite Dominated By Area Athleteshas been great to see us score points on the track side of things.”The Fairbury girls were in a two-team race

with Lincoln Lutheran for the team title until the very. Lincoln Lutheran slightly separated from Fairbury in the final two events (400 relay, 1,600 relay) to win Tuesday’s invite. The Warriors took first in the 400 relay and third in the 1,600 relay while the Lady Jeffs won the 1,600 relay and placed fifth in the 400 relay.Fairbury head girls coach Matt Edson didn’t

view the finish as a disappointing but rather an outstanding performance by his team to accumulate as many points as they did (119).“The meet Tuesday was an exciting finish; it

came down to the last two events. We ended up a close second to a good Lincoln Lutheran team. However, scoring that many points in a meet is outstanding and I’m proud of the girls for that,” Edson said.Sara Huss was golden in every event she

competed in (400, 200, 1,600 relay, discus), earning her team 30 points individually and an additional 10 as a part of the 1,600-relay team (Cora DeBoer, Jami Mans, Mikasa Lier-man).While her performance set the tone for the

Lady Jeffs runner-up finish, Fairbury brought home an additional nine medals from athletes who placed in the top four.Sophomore Mikwena Lierman was runner-

up in the high jump (4-10), triple jump (32-3), and as the lead leg of the Lady Jeffs 3,200 re-lay team (Mikasa Lierman, Ellie Ohlde, Alissa York).Mikasa added another silver medal to the

Lierman sister’s collection from the meet via a runner-up finish in the 800 (2:35.63). The siblings tallied a combined total of five top-four finishes.Hastings track and field recruit Jessa Eden

was a close second in the discus to her team-mate, Huss.She recorded the second-best throw of her

2019 campaign with a toss of 132 feet. Jo-sephine claimed another silver medal for the Lady Jeffs, doing so in 3,200 (13:05.55).Tri County’s Andie Koch continues to make

strides towards her peak form after overcom-ing a lingering knee injury to start the sea-son. She placed third in the 1,600 with a sub six-minute time (5:53.21). The time marks the second instance this season she has ran the 1,600 below six minutes.Koch was the second leg on the Lady Trojans

3,200-relay team that set an area-best time – by over 18 seconds – crossing the finish line in 10 minutes 17.42 seconds. The time is 2.84 seconds off their fourth-place time at state in Class D a season ago.The 3,200 relay squad featured Hannah

Holtmeier, Ella Crawford, and Madison Kir-choff alongside Koch.Holtmeier claimed Tri County’s lone indi-

vidual gold medal in the girls division and the standout sophomore accomplished the feat in the 800 by crossing the finish line in 2 min-utes 32.82 seconds.Returning Class C state bronze medalist

in the triple jump, Wilber-Clatonia’s Aleen Souvannavong, tallied over 41 percent of her team’s points at Tuesday’s meet with a gold-medal performance in the triple jump (33-9) and a runner-up finish in the long jump (15-10).Souvannvong was also a part of the Wol-

verines third place 400 relay (Megan Tinsley, Anne de Bie, Nevaeh Honea).Shayee Bloom also played a critical role in

Wilber-Clatonia’s success in the girl’s division. She earned runner-up honors in pole vault (9-0) and was the second leg on the Wolver-ines runner-up 1,600 relay team (Rylee Sand, Honea, Abby Rezny).Up next for Wilber-Clatonia is the Southern

Nebraska Conference track meet on Saturday at Milford. Tri County will compete at the Pi-onner Conference meet on Saturday in Paw-nee City.
