CHAMBER STAFF

Charles Lieske, Executive Director

JoAnn Boshart

Denise Christensen

Resa Lavicky

Executive Assistants

S P R I N G 2 0 1 5 N E W S L E T T E R

We are pleased to announce the addition of Resa Lavicky to our staff beginning this April.

Resa replaces JoAnn Boshart who has been a dedicated staff member for three years.

Resa will use her past experience in business to help the Chamber maintain its membership

database and accounting. Resa’s former employers describe her as outgoing and organized

with a commitment to customer service.

Resa, who lives in Bee, has most recently worked in Lincoln and grew tired of the commute

and time away from family. She is excited to begin working in and for the community.

In July, 2013, the Chamber

embarked on a new adventure

when it acquired the former

Presbyterian church at 4th and

Jackson, with the goal of creat-

ing a theatre and community

hall for the Seward area.

The original vision included

many facets: providing a venue

for local and visiting talent to

perform in the theatre, becom-

ing a gathering place for locals

in the community hall, matur-

ing into a mechanism for tour-

ism (attracting out-of-area

dollars for our local business-

es), as well as providing budg-

et relief for the Chamber

through non-dues revenue that

could be raised through rentals

and performances.

As we continued on our jour-

ney with the project, we found

many generous donors and

supporters who helped us

maintain this building without

drawing a single penny from

Chamber dues or reserves. Our

challenge came as we pursued

building upgrades. In order to

remodel in a fashion that

would maximize both the thea-

tre component and income

from non-dues revenue, the

Fire Marshal required expen-

sive upgrades.

Our goal was to raise these

renovation funds through

grants. We found that most

entities offering grants restrict

their giving to non-private

501c3 entities. Because the

Chamber is involved in politi-

cal issues, we have a 501c6

status. Our partnership with the

Arts Council didn’t solve that

problem, because their 501c3

is registered with the IRS as a

private foundation. The need

for a stand alone 501c3 with

the proper designation was

clear.

The Chamber took steps to

help establish the Olde Glory

Foundation, and the Olde

Glory Council, a working com-

mittee established by the

Chamber board, was replaced

by a stand alone board for the

Olde Glory Foundation. The

IRS quickly approved the new

entity. The Olde Glory and

Chamber Boards have been

working together to transfer

the assets and liabilities associ-

ated with the building to the

new foundation.

Beyond its capacity to apply

for a large pool of matching

grants, the new foundation’s

ability to be focused on the

theatre, rather than rental

income from additional meet-

ing space in the basement,

reduced the requirements of

the Fire Marshal and the ex-

penses associated with that.

Other upgrades will be able to

take place more quickly, such

as the expansion of restroom

facilities, theatre chairs, light-

ing, and other improvements.

The Chamber is proud to have

been a catalyst for the creation

of the theatre and community

hall. As we turn over responsi-

bility for the daily operation of

the facility to the new founda-

tion, we look forward to help-

ing promote Seward and its

businesses to those who attend

events in the venue.

Kiwanis Ag Recognition Banquet a Huge Success The Kiwanis Club of Seward held their 47th Annual Ag Recognition Banquet on Monday, March 16th. It was their biggest banquet ever serving 460 people. With Cargill's donation of $750 and a portion of the proceeds, Kiwanis raised at least $1,625 for the ELIMINATE Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus project. MNT is a swift and painful killer disease that killed 49,000 newborns in 2013 alone. Rod Flower, KLKN-TV News Anchor was the emcee for the evening. Guest of Honor was Governor Pete Ricketts.

Seward County Hall of Agricultural Achievement The Chamber of Commerce awarded the Seward County Hall of Agricultural Achievement award to David and Diane Mooney, who operate a diversified farming and cattle feeding operation in

southwestern Seward County. The Mooney's became involved in the operation in the spring of 1990 after helping Diane’s parents, Otto and Darlene Wiemer, with harvest in the fall of 1989. Technology

in production agriculture has come a long way since the Mooney’s joined the operation in 1990. GPS technology and more modern equipment have been welcome additions, but perhaps the most significant change was going from selling fat cattle on the commodity market, to an alliance with Dr. Ray Matzner (of David City) and marketing All Natural (non-hormone, non-antibiotic) USDA Certified cattle. Today the Mooney’s primarily sell their All Natural Cattle to Tyson Foods in Lexington, Nebraska and National Beef in Liberal, Kansas. Although the Mooney’s had a large learning curve in moving their beef production from the commodity market to the All Natural program, the benefits have been significant to the operation. They had to source cattle that would fit their program and then once they had the cattle, they had to adjust their management to meet the qualification of the All Natural Program from both a growth and health standpoint. With much education, perseverance and hard work, the All Natural Beef production has proved successful.

Agribusiness of the Year The second award given by the Chamber was new this year, the Agribusiness Award. Recipients of this award were Marlin and Margie Burkey.

Marlin and Margie were married in 1949 and started farming in 1950 on the home place of 240 acres located halfway between Milford and Beaver Crossing. Between farming and trucking, this operation

went on until one day Marlin rode to Omaha with his brother Lorence and they stopped at John Deere and Co. Marlin was browsing around the place when he was asked if he could be helped with anything. "Well, yes", he replied. “Are we ever going to get a John Deere dealer at Seward so we don’t have to drive to Friend all the time?” He was told “yes, as soon as we can find an individual to open a dealership in Seward.” The next week Marlin received a phone call from a John Deere representative wanting to know if Marlin would be interested in a dealership. Marlin, along with Lorence, found the only piece of ground around Seward available to locate the business. They held a farm sale on March 20, 1963. On April 1, 1963, Seward Implement Company was established as Seward’s new John Deere dealership by Marlin and Lorence Burkey on four and one-half acres of ground purchased from Dr. H. C. Riggert along the east edge of Seward. A 150 ft. by 60 ft. cement block building was erected for the new business. In the fall of 1968, Marlin purchased Lorence’s share of the operation and in the fall of 1970, Marlin’s son Brad became a part of the business. During 1974, it became necessary to expand the parts department and office area. A 4800 sq. ft. steel building was attached to the west side of the existing structure. Because of the expanding equipment line, a 9000 sq. ft. addition was attached to the north end of the original building in 1981. During this time there were several floods, but with the help of the community, the task of cleaning up was made much easier. In 1994, Seward Implement purchased the David City John Deere business. In 1997, Seward Implement was sold to Perry Case and relocated to near I-80 as Plains Equipment Group.

Outstanding Farm Family The Kiwanis Club of Seward gave an award to the Slawnyk Family as the Outstanding Farm Family. The Slawnyk farm in western Seward County, was established by Mrs. Harry Slawnyk’s (Jane) family in September of 1883. Her great grandparents, Wendelin

and Dorothy Buller, moved to Utica from Illinois. The farm began with Hereford cattle. Jane’s grandparents, Anthony (Tony) and Margaret Buller, later joined the farming operation and lived on the farm place where Mark and Diane Slawnyk now live. Jane's parents, Arnold and Jane Buller, began farming in the early 1940’s with horses; but by 1944, Arnold had purchased a new John Deere B. They continued to raise and feed Hereford cattle. Jane Buller was born in 1945. In 1965, Jane married Harry Slawnyk in Utica and they continued the family farming operation raising cattle, hogs, hay and row crops. Harry was born in Fillmore, Saskatchewan, Canada and moved to Lincoln, Nebraska after high school and met Jane on a blind date. When they were married in 1965, they lived in a trailer house and then began farming in 1966 with Jane’s parents, Arnold and Jane Buller, and farmed until Harry’s retirement in 2010. They had two sons, Mike and Mark. Mike was killed in a pickup accident in Waco, Nebraska in 1991. Mark and his wife Deanna are now farming. Harry loved raising cattle and sheep and Jane was a stay at home mom. She raised hogs in a 10 sow farrow to finish operation and later worked for 25 years at Seward Animal Hospital. In 2010, the farming operation was turned over to their son, Mark and daughter-in-law, Deanna. Mark and Deanna raise seed corn for Monsanto and also own cattle that are kept near Broken Bow. Mark also is adapting to change in farming technologies that help make decisions to keep their operation efficient and profitable.

Thank You Chamber Members The Slawnyk Family wishes to thank you for helping to sponsor this event. We enjoyed the evening.

Eric Rieger (HOTTEA) used yarn and

stencils to create the installation called

“Wildlife” in Minneapolis, Minnesota,

in 2011.

NEWS RELEASE FROM CONCORDIA

UNIVERSITY—Two events will give the

community an opportunity to interact with

Emmy award winning and nationally re-

nowned artist Eric Rieger (HOTTEA), the

featured guest of Concordia University’s

2015 Jones Fine Art Series. In addition,

HOTTEA will create new, unique instal-

lations of his art in downtown Seward,

Nebraska, between April 8 and 11.

HOTTEA typically works with yarn to

create installations that co-exist with a

space non-destructively and brings atten-

tion to neglected and forgotten spaces.

Yarn creations like HOTTEA’s are called

yarn bombs.

“HOTTEA is an artist with a fascinating

background and a passion for creating

environmentally safe and beautiful alter-

natives to graffiti,” said Concordia’s

Department Chair and Professor of Art

Don Robson. “It is a blessing to have him

sharing his talents, demonstrating his

techniques and making himself available

to meet families and students in Seward,

and it is our honor, along with Jones

National Bank and Trust Company, to

have him as our special guest for this

year’s Jones Fine Art Series.”

Families can watch HOTTEA build his

masterpieces in downtown Seward at

Jones National Bank and Trust Company

and the courthouse on the Seward square.

They are invited also meet him at two

events:

Open House and Artist Talk Thursday, April 9, 5 to 7 p.m.

Jones National Bank & Trust Co.

Meet and Greet with HOTTEA Saturday, April 11, 9 to 10 a.m.

JD’s Coffee Shop

Families are also invited to help welcome

HOTTEA to Seward by creating their

own yarn bomb between now and April

11 and sharing a photo of it on Facebook,

Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag

#yarnbomb. Examples include wrapping

yarn around trees, mailboxes, benches and

other objects. Some yarn bombers crochet

or knit yarn into a design and use the

finished piece to surround an object.

Information about HOTTEA and instruc-

tions for yarn bombing will be available at

downtown businesses on the Seward

square, at Jones National Bank and Trust

Company and cune.edu/yarnbomb.

View HOTTEA’s Emmy award winning

video, get more information and discover

yarn bombing inspiration at cune.edu/

The Jones Fine Art Series, made possible

by Concordia University, Nebraska and

Jones National Bank and Trust Company,

is meant to enhance the music, theater and

art experiences available to Concordia

University and the Seward community.

Concordia University’s A Cappella Choir tours Midwest Concordia University A Cappella Choir

will travel to Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and

Missouri for its annual tour April 8-12.

Melodrama, May 28-June 14

"Egad! The Woman in White

(Sealed in a Madhouse)"

This laugh oriented, old fashioned melo-

drama is based on Wilkie Collins' classic

and it's wild, fast and funny. It features a

disreputable (and hilarious) villain who

dispatches his adversaries with nefarious

ease and even seals his wife in a mad-

house to steal her vast fortune! He battles

a wicked countess in one of the most

uproarious fight scenes ever staged! When

all else fails, he engineers mock funerals.

But he's scared of the mysterious "woman

in white" who's escaped from the asylum

to seek him out. Abandoned wives, inso-

lent servants, lawyers, hypochondriacs

and manly drawing masters parade across

the stage in gales of comedy terminating

only when the villain is brought to justice

in an audience cheering, outrageous and

spectacular finale.
