SMITH, page 3 Rain/snow mixture blankets Johnson County area in first major snowstorm of the year By Ann Wickett News Editor A winter Linus blew through the Johnson County area this past weekend dumping six inches of snow on the area. Local weather observer Mark McDonald said he melted some of the snow and recorded .79 of precipitation. Ac- cording to McDonald, the Johnson County area was only expected to get one to two inches of moisture and ended up with the first major snowstorm of the year. McDonald explained that this storm cell gained strength as it moved to the northeast. A warmer front moving from the Gulf Coast brought the warmer temperatures and rainfall Saturday morning. Then the northern cold front turned the rainfall into snow. McDonald said the cold front came through this area about six hours earlier than expected because of the quick drop in temperatures. This created icy road conditions and later snow packed road conditions in the area Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning. In addition, wind gusts up to 38 mph created snowdrifts three to four feet high and poor visibility for traveling. Dave Klepper, maintenance supervisor for the Nebraska De- partment of Roads said he had all five of his crewmembers plowing snow non-stop from Saturday night throughout the day on Monday, February 2. Klepper also com- mended the two employees from the construction department who also assisted with removing snow so the maintenance crewmembers could take a break. Klepper said his crew attempted to apply chemical on Saturday night and Sunday to the highways to break up the ice and snow and clear the roads, but the tempera- tures got too cold and the chemi- cals didn’t work. By Monday, the temperatures were warm enough for the chemical to work and Klep- per expected most of the highways to be clear for safe traveling. Since another round of snowfall is expected on Wednesday, Klep- per said his maintenance crew would be sharpening the blades of the snowplows and mixing up chemicals in preparation for this next storm. The total number of customers without electricity at the peak of the storm in the Omaha Public Power District’s 13-county terri- tory was 19,713. Paula Lukowski, OPPD supervisor of customer communications, wasn’t able to get a breakdown for Johnson and Pawnee counties alone. The total number of outages for the south rural portion of OPPD’s terri - tory, including Pawnee, Johnson, Richardson, Nemaha, Otoe and Cass counties was 1,735 at 6:30 a.m. Sunday with a peak outage of 3,271 by 11:30 a.m. In reviewing these totals, Lu- kowski explained that OPPD crews would make progress, and then more outages would occur because of the heavy winds.

FirstBank of Nebraska in Sterling will be opening at its new location on Feb. 9 By Ann Wickett News Editor The Sterling branch of the First- Bank of Nebraska will be opening at its new location, 225 Highway 41 on Monday, February 9th. An official open house will be held at a later date. The Board of Directors for the FirstBank of Nebraska decided to move to a location for improved visibility and the ability to provide a drive-thru with a 24 ATM service for its customers. This new facility will also have expanded business hours. The FirstBank of Nebraska in Sterling will now be open Mon- days through Fridays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. Drive-thru hours will be Mondays through Fridays, 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays from 7:30 a.m. to 12 noon. “Being located on Highway 41 will be more convenient for some of our customers that do not live and/or work in Sterling,” said Russ Trauernicht, vice president of the bank. “Moving from the downtown fa- cility has been difficult because we have been such a fixture there for so many years, but FirstBank felt this move was the only way we could accomplish our future goals as a banking institution going forward. It was also a way for FirstBank of Nebraska to show our customers we plan to be part of the Sterling community for a long time,” Trau- ernicht said. Doug Magill, branch president and a member of the board of direc- tors said the design of the building is something that has worked in other communities. Ken Wentz of Wentz Construction was the gen- eral contractor during the construc- tion. “What makes this building special is the fact that it was built by locally known contractors and sub- contractors,” said Magill. “We want to thank Ken Wentz for keeping the construction of this project moving on time. Everything went smoothly and I think that’s the advantage of using locally known contractors,” he added. The dimension of the new bank facility is 55 feet by 50 feet. Kylie Wiseman is a new employee who will assist customers as a tell- er. Employees at the FirstBank of Nebraska in Sterling will be sharing duties with other bank branches. “This will be an opportunity to fully utilize all our employees,” Magill said.

Julie Smith, a tenacious prosecutor, begins

third term as Johnson County Attorney

By Ray KappelSunrise Publications

Johnson County Attorney Julie Smith said law enforcement helps keep communities like Tecumseh nice places to live.

“Society couldn’t function with-out laws,” she said.

Smith is starting her third term as County Attorney. Following law school at the University of Kansas, she returned to Nebraska as Deputy County Attorney in Johnson County in 2004. When the previous county attorney ran in another county, she ran unopposed for county attorney in 2006.

She is very much a Nebraskan and small-town girl. She grew up on a farm east of Cook, the daugh-ter of Ron and Dorothy Smith. She and her younger brother, Rick, operate a law practice next to the post office in Tecumseh.

They share the caseload 50-50 and they answer the phones, do all their own typing, office cleaning, and filing and even pull out the push reel manual lawn mower that sits in their closet to take care of the lawn. A big American flag hangs outside the entrance to their office.

One of her fondest memories of the farm is the bucket calves she and her brother bottle fed. There

was a da i ry close by and w h e n t h e y had twins the Smiths would take home one for a bucket calf, and they would raise it.

The Tecumseh Military Band will give a dance at the opera house on Wednesday evening next, February 10. A large orchestra will be in at-tendance and a general good time is assured. The Military Band is one of Tecumseh’s best assets, and has “put Tecumseh on the map:” Prof H.H. Rohrs has the band in hand and re-hearsals have prevailed throughout the winter.

The band must be helped finan-cially if it is to continue, and it certainly should. Solicitors are now in the field selling the dance tickets, which are $1.each, the ladies being admitted free. Everyone should buy the tickets whether or not it is expected to use them, and help the boys just at this time, for the band’s finances are running low.

Vesta, NEB.-Mrs. C. H. Ziegler, Mrs. C. E. Krotzer, Miss Alice Todd and John Ostrander, were passen-gers to Tecumseh, Monday evening, to witness the play, “The Winning of Barbara Worth”.

The storm of the first of the week drifted the roads full of snow again, which makes it very hard for the rural mail carriers and teachers.

Walk This Way.With Sub-zero temperatures and

several inches of snow it becomes very tempting to sit on the couch and relax. However, despite the weather tempting us to sit still it is very important to get moving, especially going on walks. Walk-ing has several health benefits and is relatively easy to do.

Recent studies greatly encour-age the need for walking. For example, in one study for patients with Type 2 diabetes it was shown that walking for 45 minutes for 3 days a week greatly reduced blood pressure, increased fat metabolism, and helped reduce patient’s weight. Besides helping with the health of

the body, walking also has benefits for the mind. In a separate study there was a strong link with walk-ing 3 days a week and decreased levels of depression.

Not only does the weather tend to keep people from walking, but so does pain. Often people do not feel like going for walks because they have pain from osteoarthritis in their joints, especially their knees. As previously mentioned in another of our articles, it has been shown that walking over 6,000 steps in one day reduces the pain for those with osteoarthritis.

Walking not only is beneficial for your health, but is fairly easy

to start doing. When compared to other forms of exercises walking is inexpensive, because all you need is a pair of shoes and the desire to get outside and walk.

If you are interested in begin-ning a walking program. We have provided a list below of frequently asked questions and answers:

1. If you are busy throughout the day. Plan a time over your lunch break or after work and make walking a part of your day.

2. If you enjoy talking, begin walking with a friends or co-workers so that you are able to socialize during your walk.

3. If it is cold or snowy outside,

feel free to walk from one side of your house to the other.

4. If you don’t have the time or don’t feel that you are able to walk for 45 minutes at one time. That is okay, short walks throughout the day are also beneficial. Often it is fun when you notice an increase the amount of time you walk.

Community MenusJohnson County Hospital Earns Trauma Center Designation

Johnson County Hospital has successfully passed the state designation process to be an official Basic Trauma Center for the Nebraska Statewide Trauma System. This system is a network of healthcare facilities across Nebraska that helps provide access to trauma care in every part of the state, rural or urban.

Linda Branting, Trauma Nurse Coordinator at Johnson County Hospital, said the trauma designation has been an evolving process for the hospital and has included meeting state requirements regarding equipment and training for physicians, nurses, mid-level practitioners and pre-hospital providers.

“This designation is the culmination of a lot of time, effort and coopera-tion between the local EMT units in Johnson County, our local emergency manager, Johnson County hospital staff and administration, and the Te-cumseh Family Health professional staff,” said Trauma Medical Director Dr. Stacey Goodrich. “A special thanks to Linda Branting who was the major contributor to this project in terms of time, effort and expertise. I am confident the foundation we have laid will improve the delivery of emergency care in our area for many years to come.”

As part of the Statewide Trauma System, Johnson County Hospital also has access to quality improvement programs, statewide and regional pro-tocols for standardized patient care, and access to the Nebraska Trauma Registry.

“We meet quarterly with hospital staff, Johnson County Emergency Manager Clint Strayhorn, and Johnson County EMTs. These meeting have helped all of us improve our processes and our knowledge in treating trauma patients.” said Branting. “The trauma designation’s emphasis on triage, treatment, and transfer to the facility that can best serve the patient’s needs means improved outcome for our trauma patients.”

The Basic Trauma Designation is one more way Johnson County Hospital continues to provide high-quality healthcare to the residents of Johnson County and the surrounding communities.

•Stormcontinued from page 1

A transmission line from Brock to Cooper Nuclear Station in Browns-ville impacted large numbers of customers in the south rural portion of OPPD’s territory.

Crews spent Sunday patrolling the transmission line, knocking ice off of the lines. The heavy coating caused “galloping” to occur. This outage impacted Peru State Col-lege. The following link, http://stormandoutage.com/2015/02/01/ice-weighty-effect-power-lines/explains what happens when “gal-loping” occurs. When the wind blows, electrical wires start mov-ing up and down in an oscillating motion. Wires encased in ice act like an aerodynamic airplane wing. Galloping can cause wires to touch, resulting in a fault or a subsequent outage. This increased movement can also cause cross-arms to break bringing electric lines to the ground.

Heavy, wet snow, ice and winds contributed to the outages. The weight of the ice and snow brought down tree limbs, and the continuous whipping winds taxed some of the structures, as well, breaking cross-arms and bringing lines down.

Monday, February 2 was Ground-hog’s Day and Punxsutawney Phil of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter. We’ll have to see how accurately these predictions play out after having such nice weather in the fall and through the first half of winter.

Another snow storm is predicted to come through on Wednesday and by the time readers see this article they may already be digging out from that one!

“As it turns out, I loved it. When I finished the semes-ter, I decided to go to law school,” she said.

She paid for law school by getting a job as assistant complex director in campus housing at the University of Kansas. That gave her a modest paycheck and an apartment within walking distance of the law schools and her meals.

“It was just what I needed, and I had a wonderful experience in law school in Lawrence,” she said.

Smith graduated with honors. She said the thing about law school is the reading required. She had to do so much reading she gave up reading for pleasure to concentrate on the reading needed for her classes. She didn’t take up reading for pleasure again until she got out of school.

When she returned to the area, Smith again attended St. Paul’s Church of Christ in Osage, the church where she was baptized and confirmed. The pastor doing both her baptism and confirmation was Ken Tubbesing, who recalls that she and her brother Rick were the brightest students in the confirmation class.

Her church and her faith are very important to her, she said. She has been the organist for the past eight years, playing for weddings and funerals as well as the regular services.

Her faith has kept her strong in a job that requires toughness. She has had several tough cases and been satisfied to see justice done, especially in cases where

the victims were abused.One of her special cases was the Michael Engstrom

case. Engstrom, you may recall, robbed the Casey’s in Pawnee City at gunpoint and then went on a high speed chase with law enforcement officers where he fired on several officers. She is very close to the law enforcement officers and getting a 107-year sentence for Engstrom was very satisfying, she said. He is cur-rently in Kansas serving life imprisonment for murder he committed there. His sentence in Nebraska runs concurrent with the Kansas conviction.

Smith said crime is often caused by illegal drug use. She said you see it often that other crimes can be traced back to a person’s drug use.

How a person is brought up also often determines their future, she said.

“People often turn out like their parents,” said Smith. If there was drug use in the home, the kids are often influenced by it.

Besides her job as county attorney, Smith also got her EMT license in 2006 and is a member of the Cook and Tecumseh rescue squads.

“I am generally able to respond to calls when I am not in court,” she said.

In the courtroom Smith is, I believe, feared. She is a tenacious prosecutor and does her homework. She loves being county attorney and lot of people count on her to keep the county safe.

•Assaultcontinued from page 1

to perform a search for the chips. Simmons, who was lying down on an upper bunk, jumped down and started to walk out with the chips. When Daire told him to stop, Sim-mons became aggressive, according to Daire.

Daire testified that Simmons swung his arms and clenched his fists and was hitting him. The two wrestled to the floor and Simmons worked free Daire’s can of pepper spray and sprayed Daire in the face.

“Let’s see how you like that,” Sim-mons reportedly said.

Daire radioed for help and Sim-mons tore the radio mic out of his hand. Carol Armknecht, the case manager, came to Daire’s aid. When she heard the radio go dead she knew her worker was in trouble. Other help arrived, from the Emer-gency Response Team. Armknecht testified that she gave Simmons a 30 second burst of pepper spray to subdue him but that some of the spray actually got on Daire.

Daire testified that he could not see, being temporarily blinded by the spray from Simmons. They cuffed Simmons in handcuffs and leg restraints and took him down-stairs. Daire went to a shower to clean off the spray and was later sent to Johnson Medical Center for additional treatment.

Simmons was treated in a separate room and also told to shower. Both men had abrasions and cuts from their scrape.

Besides having his eyes shut, Daire also had bruised ribs and his face was swollen and red.

In answer to the charge that Sim-mons assaulted Daire with a dan-gerous instrument [the pepper spray] the defense argued that pepper spray is not considered a dangerous weapon by the correc-tional facility. He said it is used to subdue someone who is being ag-gressive after they fail to respond to commands from correctional

officers. But it is not dangerous, he contended.

He said dangerous weapons, by that term, are not allowed inside the facility except for the guard towers. That means, he argued, that pepper spray, which each officer carries, is not considered a dangerous weapon.

The other defense argument was that Daire is not considered an of-ficer and for that reason the charge should not be considered a felony.

Some time was spent between Judge Daniel Bryan, Nelsen and Smith looking what the statutes say about what is considered a danger-ous weapon and what is considered an officer. Bryan said the state proved its case on both counts. A dangerous weapon, according state statute, is something that causes bodily injury, even if that instru-ment is not by itself considered dangerous. The statute from several years ago did not define officer, but recent amended statutes do and they include correctional employees as well as the correctional guards in the provision about who is an officer discharging his or her duties.

When he took the stand, Simmons, who is serving a sentence to 2050 on bank robbery and manslaughter

convictions denied he struck Daire or sprayed him with pepper spray. He also said he had a receipt for the potato chips that showed he bought them in the commissary.

Nelsen also pointed out that the correctional facility took 13 months to get the case to the county at-torney. He said evidence was de-stroyed during that time period that could of exonerated his client.

Warden Brian Gage was called by the defense to testify in regard to taping activity in the prison. Gage said the prison only keeps tapes made by the cameras 30-90 days. Nelsen said state statute requires the correctional facility to keep evidence for a number of years.

The Warden testified that there were two cameras in the area of the incident. A DVD of the incident was played in court, but Nelsen said it didn’t show action inside the cell.

Simmons waived his right to pre-sentencing and Judge Bryan then sentenced him to three years to be served concurrent with his previous convictions.

A tale of two budgets“It was,” as Dickens wrote,

“the best of times.” Revenue and spending in Nebraska are in “a better place” now than they have been in years, says the Legislature’s Appro-priations Committee Chairman Sen. Heath Mello of Omaha. This could make drafting the biennial state budget a smoother process.

“Our main job as a state is paying for incarceration, medication and education,” Mello told the Lincoln Journal Star. “And the reality is we’ve got to do those things fairly well before we are able to tackle other challenges.”

One of those “other” challenges will be finding the property tax relief that the new governor is already promoting. The good news is, Governor Pete Ricketts isn’t the first one to ever promote the idea.

“There is one consistent message I have heard in every corner of the state: property taxes are too high,” Ricketts said in his State of the State address to law-makers. “My budget adds $60 million each year to the property tax credit relief fund—an increase of nearly 43 percent—for a grand total of $400 million in prop-erty tax relief this biennium. This property tax relief will help all Nebraskans: homeowners, small business owners, and our farmers and ranchers,” he said.

That’s a laudable goal that speaks well to fulfilling a campaign promise. Coupled with the mention of reducing agricultural land valuations and growing the economy by providing more jobs, it’s the stuff that pleases voters. To his credit, the governor did ac-knowledge spending for prisons and the state’s largest agency, the Department of Health and Human Services.

I like Mello’s take: incarceration, medication and education. It costs millions to build a new prison –

which most people seem to want to avoid. Likewise, Mello notes, prison reform could be costly as the state examines a plethora of ideas for alter-natives to incarceration and changes in sentencing.

Medication -- who is paying how much for the health and welfare of the state’s neediest citizens – is another huge expense. To say nothing of the costs of reforming the broken health system in Nebraska. Education – the annual battle of school funding – is a perennial issue in search of a fair and equitable solution, which remains elusive.

On paper, the process appears to be simple. The governor proposes his budget, the Appropriations Committee proposes theirs. State agencies are called before the committee to justify their budget requests. Senators who propose bills that would require money from the state budget are also called to testify. The committee blends it all together and presents it to the full Legislature for approval.

The proposal goes through three rounds of debate, as with any bill, and the final product heads to the governor. Depending on how much of the measure reflects his proposal and how much compromise has been made by both sides along the way; the budget is either approved and signed by the governor or sent back with vetoes. Lawmakers then have a chance to override the vetoes or accept them.

But it’s not THAT easy. There will be debate, there will be headlines. There will be name-calling, there will be compromise. It’s a frustrating time; it’s an educational time. It will be the best of times. It will be the worst of times. Come along for the ride. It’s your money.

Expanding Education Opportunities

I presented my budget recom-mendations and key initiatives about how we can Grow Nebraska in my first State of the State ad-dress to the Unicameral on January 22nd. This year, my priorities will focus on creating jobs, cutting taxes, easing regulatory burdens, and expanding educational op-portunities. This column focuses on the second two priorities that I laid out in my remarks: easing regulatory burdens and expanding educational opportunities.

When we get a property tax bill we can see exactly how much we are paying. The cost of regulation, however, is hidden, but it is a job killer all the same. As governor, I will stand up to the overregulation forced on us by Washington, D.C.

Whether it is new health care mandates on employers, EPA over-reach on carbon emissions and the Waters of the US, Washington just does not get it.

Here in Nebraska, we want to set a good example. I will be asking all of my state agency directors to make it a priority to innovate ways to reduce regulatory burdens and bureaucratic delays. Proper regula-tion protects our health and safety. Overregulation delays progress and growth. We can do better and we will.

As we seek to create jobs, slow the growth of government, reduce taxes, and fight burdensome regu-lations, we must also continue to strengthen our education system. While balancing our budget, we must ensure we put a priority on proper school funding and improv-ing educational outcomes.

In particular, I will focus on ca-reer and vocational training. There are great career opportunities all across the state. I visited Ash Grove Cement in Louisville and they were telling me if you get a 2-year electrician’s degree out of high school, you will start working for them at $22 or $23 per hour. Stay there a year and pass two tests

and you will be making $28 an hour. That’s a 21-year-old making $56,000 a year plus full benefits and the start of a great career.

Every manu-facturer I have talked to has said they can’t find enough skilled labor, and that is a barrier to ex-panding. To address this, I propose an investment in innovation.

My budget includes fund-ing a pilot program with an invest-ment of $250,000 each year to form a public-private partnership to create a career and vocational training program. Good-paying jobs in the skilled labor force, ag-riculture, and manufacturing are a great option for our young people.

As Nebraskans, we have a tra-dition of honoring the men and women who serve our country. My budget recommendation also includes an additional $120,000 per year for a total of more than $488,000 of tuition assistance for the patriots who serve in the Ne-braska National Guard. We need to help them further their education as well.

As we work together, I want you to know about the culture we are fostering in my administration. Every day, I want my team to ask a couple of questions: How can I serve the people of Nebraska better today? What can we do to make Nebraska a place people want to be and grow our state?

If you have any questions of your own, you are welcome to contact my office at 402-471-2244 or [email protected]. Working together with your help and input, we can Grow Nebraska for the next generation.

It’s a funny world

We descended the stairs in single file, me behind because we were on her turf. We turned on the landing before tak-ing the last set of stairs and I found m y s e l f looking at an engraved sign on the wall: Area of Refuge.

I f o u n d t h a t s i g n funny – I w a s f o l -lowing my daughter to the basement of her dormitory where we would find the pop machine. In a way, we were looking for refuge. We found it in the laundry room. I could just imagine refugees finding comfort hiding in a laundry room complete with machines vending snacks and drinks. Hopefully, they would have pocket change.

The world is a funny place if you know how to look at it. I went shopping with my daugh-ters recently. We went to the mall and walked for several miles (more or less) with me bringing up the rear. The girls walk much faster than I do and are a lot less prone to window shopping. We came up to a marble-like pillar in the store and there was a sign which made me laugh: For Your Convenience an Elevator is Lo-cated in China.

My first thought was that an elevator located in China wasn’t all that convenient to people in Nebraska. Of course, the sign-makers intended to send people to the dishware department, but I had a good laugh thinking about needing a passport to find the elevator.

I think a lot of people don’t see the humorous aspects of life that exist all around them. My mind is always in the mood for a good laugh, so it easily finds things to laugh at. I was driving on a highway quite a distance from home recently. When I am in unfamiliar territory, I tend to pay more attention to signs along the road. I saw one sign that had no words on it, just figures that would communicate to all people of any background. The sign showed a person with an open book and an arrow pointing the way. That was hilarious to me: I would think that people look-ing for the library would be able to read.

The humor isn’t just in the signs we see. Have you ever read the warnings on devices you buy at the store? I bought a one-inch diameter curling iron which warned me not to use it to curl my eyelashes. Really! I was looking for toilet bowl cleaner that you drop in the tank and I read the packaging to find one that wouldn’t be harmful to pets. One package said: Not harmful to pets but it is not recommended to encourage pets to drink fre-quently from the toilet. Do their dogs ask permission? Mine just sneaks into the bathroom when he’s thirsty. No encouragement necessary.

Sometimes, the humor comes from other people who see the signs but clearly do not under-stand them. Once, when I was driving with the radio on, a woman called into a radio talk show to complain about the deer crossing signs along the Inter-state Highway. She felt the state should not encourage deer to cross such a busy road but should place the signs in low-traffic areas so the deer could cross in safety. The radio show’s host suggested that the signs were there to warn motorists. The woman agreed but then added that if the state would move the signs to less traveled roads there wouldn’t be so much danger to motorists when the deer crossed. She apparently didn’t realize that deer don’t look at signs, even if they are pictographs.

I enjoy stand-up comedy and humorous characters and situa-tions in movies and books, but a person doesn’t have to depend on other people to bring a good laugh to their lips. All you have to do is look around with your eyes and ears open.

Property tax issue to be addressed by Revenue Committee again

This past week, the Legislature debated whether the fees for is-suing a marriage license and providing certified copies of mar-riage records should be increased. The marriage license fee hasn’t been increased since 1995. The proposed increase, from $15 to $50, would cover the counties’ administrative costs for issuance. Currently taxpayers are subsidiz-ing a good portion of the cost. Amendments are pending to lower the proposed increase to $30 or $35. Under LB 88, the cost of providing a certified copy of a mar-riage record would increase from $5 to $16, which would align the fee charged by counties with what is charged by the Bureau of Vital Statistics.

Chief Justice Michael Heavican delivered his State of the Judiciary this past week. In his speech, he mentioned that the Judicial Branch participated in the Council of State Government’s Justice Reinvest-ment Working Group, along with the Executive Branch and Legis-lative Branch. The analysis from the CSG group found that people sentenced to probation have lower recidivism rates than people sen-tenced to prison and emphasized the value of increasing the use of sentencing alternatives.

Chief Justice Heavican reported on two effective sentencing alter-natives available for our courts, instead of more costly incar-ceration sentences. Nebraska’s 16 problem-solving courts served more than 1,000 people last year, resulting in an estimated $15 mil-lion cost savings. Drug courts emphasize education and employ-ment and results have shown that 95% of active participants are gainfully employed or attending school full-time. Furthermore,

an evaluation of the drug courts portrayed that 95% of those who successfully complete the program remain crime-free one year after-wards. The second alternative is the Specialized Substance Abuse Supervision (SSAS) program, which provides an opportunity for otherwise prison-bound substance abusers to be intensively super-vised by probation while receiving treatment. This program has seen 91% of participants remaining crime-free one year after being successfully discharged from the program. Additionally, an average of 94% of graduates were gainfully employed.

Several bills were heard before the Revenue Committee this past week that attempt to deal with the issue of high property taxes. Senator Kate Bolz of Lincoln introduced LB 186, which would establish a refundable income tax credit program. At a projected cost of over $200 million annually, this “circuit breaker” legislation aims to provide income tax credits to people whose property taxes or monthly rents are high compared with their incomes.

I introduced LB 178, which would lower the valuation on agri-cultural land from 75% to 55% for school district taxation purposes. Nebraska farmers and ranchers today represent less than 3% of the state’s population but pay more than 30% of the total property taxes collected statewide. Furthermore, in the last decade, property taxes on agricultural land has increased 162%, compared with the 40% in-crease in residential property over the same time period. Although I realize this legislation isn’t the end solution to the property tax problem, I feel that it is a first step, in that it helps address the dis-

proportionate burden placed on rural land owners in the support of their school districts. The increased state aid which would be gen-erated by this bill would be approximately $55 mil l ion , after the reduc-tion in valua-tion is phased in over a four-year period.

Grand Island Senator Mike Gloor introduced LB 259, which pro-poses to exempt the first $25,000 in value of personal property. The fiscal impact on this bill is ap-proximately $40 million per year.

More bills have been introduced with the goal of lowering property taxes in our state, which I will report on in coming weeks. If you have any questions or comments on legislation proposing property tax relief or on other issues before the Legislature, I encourage you to contact me with your thoughts and opinions. I can be reached at District #1, P.O. Box 94604, State Capitol, Lincoln, NE 68509. My email address is [email protected] and my telephone number is (402) 471-2733.

An unavoidable deadlineDeadlines are a part of life. Sometimes we

dread them because they force us to be done with something whether we are ready or not for it to be completed. The stress of a deadline helps some people work better while others can become physically ill. Stress and deadlines are part of our modern life.

My deadline for this article was January 30th. The paper comes out February 5th. The Super Bowl has not been played yet so I cannot talk about the game. Ground Hog day has not hap-pened yet so I cannot talk about a longer winter or an early spring. My deadline has left me little inspiration to talk about and yet you may find it odd that I don't write about the happenings of this week.

There is one deadline that people do not like to talk about and that is death. It is our final deadline in life. We have until our last breath to love the people around us. We have until that end to ask God to forgive our sins and believe in His Son, Jesus. There is a deadline for us to believe, follow, and serve God. Death without faith in Jesus is separation from God. Belief in Jesus as our Lord and Savior is salvation from the deadline. Death is no longer

separation from God but part of our journey to God. Christians are called to serve God until they reach the deadline. The hope given to us in Christ is meant to relieve the fear and anxiety that death can create in us. Was I good enough? Did I do enough? The answer is Christ. He died for us. God will and does forgive our sins. The question now is do I believe in God and the Son before the final deadline. Belief in Jesus is an imperative for Him in the Gospels because He was working with the deadline of Good Friday. It was an imperative for us to believe because no one knows when their final deadline will arrive. We need to believe and follow Jesus today for tomorrow may be too late. The dead-line is part of life.

Bill would raise cost of getting married

LINCOLN--Marriage can be more complicated than it seems.

That’s what the senators and spec-tators at a hearing on LB88 found out on Jan. 21.

LB88, first introduced by Sen. Kathy Campbell of Lincoln on Jan. 8, would increase marriage license fees from the current $15 to $50. The fee for copies of a license would also increase from $5 to $16 under the proposed bill.

Campbell and other supporters presented the bill and their reasons for backing it to the Judiciary Com-mittee. She and other supporters stated that the $15 fee isn’t enough to cover the work that goes into is-suing a marriage license.

“What is the state’s interest in people being married?” Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha asked Dan Nolte, the Lancaster County Clerk who supported the bill.

“Those who are seeking (a mar-riage license) should pay the cost,” Nolte said.

The $15 fee hasn’t changed since 1995, 20 years ago. Adjusted for inflation, the $15 fee would cost $23.30 today. LB88 would double that cost.

Currently, there is no waiting pe-riod for processing a license. Nolte said issuing a marriage license takes about 15 minutes if paperwork is filled out ahead of time. He said following up with the couples is the time consuming part.

Chambers disagreed with any fee increase saying it’s unnecessary and doesn’t do the people of Nebraska a service.

“In other words, this is a way for the state to gouge people, isn’t it?” Chambers said. “I would not pay a fee to get married, when you could not pay me to get married.”

Compared to some of Nebraska’s neighboring states, it seemingly has the best deal. Iowa charges $35, but has a three-day waiting period. Colorado has no waiting period, but charges $30, which is still twice as much as Nebraska’s marriage license fee.

Some senators see the bill as an advancement.

“As someone who’s not married yet, I’m particularly interested in this bill,” Sen. Adam Morfeld of Lincoln said.

Morfeld said he agreed with Campbell and bill supporters that the current fee isn’t enough to cover the time and work of issuing the document.

Campbell said that the extra cost of the marriage license that isn’t charged to couples is currently be-ing covered by property taxpayers.

“It really bothered me,” Campbell said. “It feels inadequate that the property taxpayer covers the rest of it.”

“I’ve been married for 46 years,” she said. “If I paid one dollar a year, I’d be almost even.”

STERLING - On Tuesday, Janu-ary 27th Sterling played host to the Class C2 5th rated Sutton Lady Mustangs. This would prove to be quite the test for the Lady Jets. But early in the game Sterling looked to be up for the challenge.

Sophomore Taylor Cockerill would get the scoring started for the Lady Jets with a layup and then get three assists, one to senior Becky Williams and two to junior Bailey Kahler who hit a fifteen foot jumper and a three-pointer and Sterling would jump out to an early lead. The Lady Mustangs would fight back though, behind some steals and some offensive rebound put-backs. By the end of the first quarter Sutton was holding a 19-13 edge.

The second quarter the Lady Jets couldn’t get some shots to fall and with a few missed layup opportuni-ties and with some nice ball move-ment and aggressive rebounding by the Lady Mustangs the Lady Jets would be down at halftime 34-20.

The third and fourth quarters Ster-ling started to find the range from outside hitting some three-point buckets, one by Cockerill and two by junior Erika Goracke. But in the end the Lady Mustangs would be too much as they hit their free-throws down the stretch and held on for the hard fought victory 54-43.

Coach Cockerill on the game, “I thought our girls played real hard tonight. We asked the girls to play a defense that dared Sutton to shoot the outside shot and not go out on them. It was working well as they only hit five shots from the perimeter of their forty-two shots they took. Our problem was we did get out a little too far at times and they pounded us on the offensive glass or they would just turn the corner around us with their speed and get to the lane, where they did most of their damage. But wow did our girls work hard tonight. We

never gave up and made them play all four quarters for the victory. I told the girls that when they work that hard, win or lose it makes me proud to be their coach. Lady Jets have always been known for their character, work ethic and willing-ness to sacrifice for the betterment of the team and tonight was a very good example of those traits from our ladies. We may not have gotten the victory, but we can build on the effort.”

Sterling was led by Taylor Cock-erill and Erika Goracke with 15 and 13 points respectively.

Sterling scoring: E. Goracke 13, Kahler 7, Cockerill 15, Williams 6, Lempka 2.

Sterling vs. LewistonOn Friday, Jan 30th Sterling

hosted Lewiston. Tonight the story would be defense. While Lewiston would run a box and one defense on Sterling’s sophomore point guard Taylor Cockerill to try and slow her down it would not matter as the other girls would pick up the slack.

Sterling’s defense would come up with many big plays in the first quarter to put this game out of reach early. Junior Bailey Kahler would score twelve of her fifteen points in the first quarter. She would hit two or each type of shot in the quarter: three-point shots, two-point shots and free-throws. Senior Becky Williams would get two buckets inside and juniors Erika Goracke and Hannah Jasa would each score with a three-points and two-point shot respectively. By the end of the first quarter Sterling had built a 21-2 lead.

The second quarter Goracke and Williams would each be the benefi-ciary of the zone defense not keep-ing track of them as they knocked down shots. By halftime Sterling had stretched its lead to 33-5.

Coach Cockerill on the first half “It did not surprise us that they went Box-1 on Taylor as it seems to be a theme for teams right now. But we have some different wrinkles

Lady Jets only loss of week to C2 rated Sutton

offensively where we can get our posts a little closer to the hoop off of screens and our guards did a good job of hitting some fifteen foot jumpers coming off the high screens. I thought Becky (Wil-liams) did a nice job of being patient on the post offensively and running the play the way we asked and it led to her getting some easy buckets, while fellow post Hannah (Jasa) really pounded the glass for

seven rebounds. As our lone senior Becky is really leading the way in-side, as she works hard and under-stands the concepts we are applying during different situations. She has shown some great leadership quali-ties this year, as she thinks about the team first and what she can do to help us win. What more can a coach ask from a senior?”

Sterling would go keep the de-fense up and get to the running

clock in the fourth quarters. Ster-ling would go on to victory 58-19. Sterling had three girls in double figures, Goracke 17, Kahler 15 and Williams 11. Sterling is now 14-4 and is the number two seed in the Pioneer Conference Tournament this week.

Sterling scoring: E. Goracke 17, Kahler 15, Cockerill 6, Eckhardt 2, Williams 11, Jasa 7.

TECUMSEH - The Johnson County Central Thunderbirds post-ed two more wins last week over the Malcolm Clippers and the Cones-toga Cougars.

JCC vs. MalcolmThe Thunderbirds hosted Mal-

colm on Tuesday night, January 27th and came away with an easy 51-31 victory.

JCC led 16-10 after the first quarter and were up 31-17 by the halftime break. They outscored Malcolm 20-14 in the final quarters to cruise to the 51-31 win.

Mitch Faris led all scorers with 20 points with four treys and had 6 rebounds and 3 steals. Sam Sterup added 11 points with one trey and had 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Mi-chael Clark added 3 points off of one trey and led in assists with 5.

JCC vs. ConestogaThe Thunderbirds also hosted the

Conestoga Cougars on Thursday night, January 29th and captured an easy 70-43 victory.

JCC led 16-10 after the first quar-

ter and then increased that lead to 31-17 at the half. They outscored Conestoga 20-14 in the final quar-ters and won by a twenty point margin, 51-31.

“We came out focused and strong against Conestoga,” said Head Coach Chris Hutt. “We made 11/14 shots in the first quarter to overpow-er the Cougars 25-10. We wanted to get better and improve and our guys did that across the board. We were locked in. We shared the ball and found the open man with 17 as-sists. Several of our players played their best game of the year and this is the time to do it. Now we need consistency in our performances from game to game.”

Sam Sterup led the team in scor-ing with 14 points and 1 trey and had 6 rebounds and 2 steals. Faris and Zac Borrenpohl each scored 10 points with Faris hitting 2 treys and pulling in 7 rebounds with 7 assists and Borrenpohl grabbing 4 rebounds with 2 assists and 2 steals.JCC 16 15 10 10 - 51

JCC overpowers opponentsEagles use huge 4th quarterto defeat P.C. on road

JOHNSON, PAWNEE CITY - The Johnson-Brock Eagles faced two quality teams this week in Falls City Sacred Heart and Paw-nee City and pulled out one win.

Johnson-Brock vs. FCSHThe Johnson-Brock Eagles host-

ed Falls City Sacred Heart on Thursday, January 29th and lost by a 54-71 score.

J-B trailed 10-15 after the first quarter, but made it a 26-28 game at the half. FCSH went on a 25-10 run in the third quarter while both teams scored 18 points in the final period for the Irish win.

Head Coach Nick Krenk com-mented, “Against Sacred Heart we played a great first half and then had a defensive let-up in the 2nd half which allowed them to extend the lead. We had a tough time stopping them in transition and gave up too many shots around the basket for us to be successful. It was our first loss at home of the season, but hopefully we will get another opportunity at them in either Conference Tournament or Sub-Districts.”

Devon Clark led the team in scoring with 19 points and had 9 rebounds. William Speckmann followed with 7 points and had 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.

Johnson-Brock vs. P.C.The Johnson-Brock Eagles came

away with a very tough 44-38 win on the road over Pawnee City on Friday night, January 30th. The Eagles trailed 4-10 after the first quarter, but went on an 11-3 run in the 2nd quarter to go up 15-13 at the half. They went on to out-score P.C. 19-8 in the 3rd quarter and 20-17 in the final period for a 44-38 victory.

“Offense was at a premium on the road against Pawnee City,” said Coach Krenk. “Both teams re-ally struggled to put the ball in the basket the first 3 quarters. Pawnee

was able to knock down back-to-back-to-back 3s in the 4th quarter to take the lead, but we were able to battle back with a 3 and lay-up of our own. The difference in the game was turnovers as Pawnee turned it over 7 more times. We showed a lot of toughness late, and I am proud that we were able to regain the lead after faltering in the early stages of the 4th quarter.”

Devon Clark led the Eagles once again with 16 points and had 7 rebounds and 1 steal. Jaxson Balm added 9 points with two treys and had 3 rebounds and 3 steals. Ben Bohling scored 8 points, led the team in rebounds with 10 and had 2 assists.J-B 10 16 10 18 - 54FCSH 15 13 25 18 - 71 J-B Individual Statistics: D. Clark 8/21-3/7-19, Balm 2/7-5/7-9, Speck-

Despite China’s refusal to approve Syngenta’s GMO seed, Syngenta continued to sell its seed to U.S. corn farmers. When China banned U.S. corn imports, the price of corn fell drastically, and corn farmers across the country lost BILLIONS of dollars.

We represent individual farmers. Our team represented over 2000 individual farmers in the Rice GMO claim. We opposed the class action and secured more for the farmers we represented. Our group of lawyers will continue meeting with farmers with respect to each farmer’s individual Syngenta claim.
