Experience Works participant Nancy Davidson (r) assists Thayer County Entreprenuership Program member Traegan Sieber last winter as they get ready for the county show. Davidson, who works for the Thayer County Economic Development Alliance through the U.S. Department of Labor training program for seniors, says she particularly enjoys working with the students.

Nancy Davidson likes having something to do, a reason to wake up in the mornings, to get out of the house. “I’m a very sociable person,” says the 66-year old. “I like visiting with people. I like to stay busy.”

And a little extra cash doesn’t hurt, either, but when you’ve entered your senior years, it can be somewhat tough to land a job, even a part time one. Which is where Experience Works comes in.

Experience Works is a national, charitable, community-based orga-nization that helps older adults get the training they need to fi nd good jobs in their communities.

Courthouse renovation started...Phase one of the courthouse renovation started earlier this

month with the replacement of the third fl oor windows. In the outlined renovation, the third fl oor is expected to house both the county and district courts. Workers from Schweitzer Wood-working of Milford are removing old glass bricks and replacing them with updated modern panes of glass. The new windows will match the windows gracing the lower fl oors on the rest of the structure. The workers will be installing the new windows for the next several weeks.

Hebron Girls Scouts have been col-lecting trash for over 20 years; they sort it, separate it, recycle it and in so doing, provide a signifi cant service to the City of Hebron. City leaders recognized the importance of the service two decades ago and began paying the scouts $50 a month to keep the recycling center going. And for its efforts, the local service unit is allowed to keep the money each trailer load of material sells for.

“We work with Burton Enter-prises from Henderson who pays us a stipend for our recyclables,” said the Troop 480 membership during a report to the city council earlier this month. The troop, consisting of members Megan Bulin, Rachael

On August 15 at 3:45 p.m., a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of U.S. 81 and Highway 136 resulted in injuries to four people including both drivers.

Drew M. Minchow, Fairbury, was eastbound on Highway 136 in his 2000 Jeep SUV when he failed to stop at the U.S. 81 stop sign and ran into a 2007 Lincoln pickup driven by Isaias Corona-Rodriguez of Sioux City, Iowa. The SUV hit the Lincoln in the driver’s side back door and both vehicles were totaled.

A passenger in the back seat of the Lincoln was transported by Hebron Rescue to Thayer County Health Services with disabling injuries to the abdomen and pelvic area. Also taken to the hospital were driver Corona-Rodriguez with possible injuries to his lower leg and another passenger with possible injuries to the head.

Minchow was also taken to Thayer County Health Services with visible injuries to his head.

Neither drugs or alcohol were suspected in the accident.

Retired couple visiting all U.S. counties...Ted and Jane Tofari added Thayer County to their collection of

U.S. counties they’ve visited Monday morning this week. The travel-ers have been visiting U.S. counties for 17 years. “There are 3,142 counties in the country,” Jane said during her visit. “Thayer County is stop number 2,458.”

Ted and Jane Tofari have seen quite a few states in their travels. In fact, they’ve seen quite a bit of each state they’ve visited because their mapped route takes them to each county in each state. For the record, says 72-year old Jane, there are 3,142 counties in the country. As of Monday morning, the Tofaris chalked up number 2,458 after stopping in Thayer County.

“We head straight to the county seat where we take a picture of the courthouse,” Jane said Monday morning during her visit to Hebron. “We also have the county seal stamped in our notebook where we mount the picture of the courthouse.”

Jane added that Ted, who is 74 years old, uses a metal detector to fi nd a coin in the courthouse lawn which is also mounted next to the picture in the notebook. To fi nish the page, Jane takes a second picture of some-thing that she fi nds most interesting about the county. “We have over 90 albums at home,” she said, which is in South Carolina. “We plan to fi nish Nebraska this week then move into Kansas.”

Calling themselves the County Counters, the couple worked their way through North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Utah and Nebraska so far this year. “We’ve been doing this for 17 years,” she adds, although they had to take an eight-year break from 2002 to 2010. “We just started again this year and have less than 700 counties to go.”

Most of those are in New England, the rest of the Great Plains and Alaska, places where winter weather makes access problematic some-times. The retired couple travel across country pulling a camper with a pickup and have restricted their trips to summertime travel since their fi nal destinations are more easily reached in fair weather.

Jane said she and Ted love to chat with people about their travels and welcome comments and questions at [email protected]. “We should be home to answer email closer to Thanksgiving,” she said. “We’ll be on the road a little while, yet.”

Fangmeier, Kelsey Long, Madison Reese, Lauren Edgecombe, Allison Tietjen, Tashia Mumm and Bryanna Dudgeon, presented a power point of information to the Hebron City Council at its regular meeting August 1. Led by Deb Fangmeier and Deb Bulin, the troop, representing the Hebron Girl Scout Service Unit, used the presentation as a request for a per-monthly raise in funding to keep the local recycling center going.

“In the year 2007, we recycled 2.77 tons of material and received $488,” reported one of the troop members. “In 2008, it was 2.7 tons of material and we received $451. In 2009 we recycled 3.61 tons and received $368 and last year we recycled 4.3 tons and were paid $454.”

For the last trailer load in April 2011, the Unit received only $59.95, the lowest amount the Unit has ever received for recyclables. Along with the declining dollar amounts for the trash, the Scouts no longer receive any payment for No. 1 and No. 2

plastic, or tin even though they con-tinue to collect and sort the material. The report indicated that $40 of the $50 the City pays goes to the troop who ran the center for a particular month. The troop uses the money to buy materials, attend activities, and other troop expenses.

Ten dollars from recycling is used in the general running of the local Girl Scout program including starter funds for Daisy and Brownie troops, council identifi cation strips, product salespersons, silver and gold awards, and special events for the entire service unit. “We have had to cut funding to other projects because of lack of money,” said one of the troop’s members. “Projects such as travel expense for girls going to council activities.”

Hebron Girl Scouts are also re-sponsible for several other commu-nity projects including the purchase of playground equipment, the Santa House, a prayer garden, school recy-cling, donations to Blue Valley Com-munity Action, backpack meals, and fl ag collections and burning. Right now, half of the girls in Hebron who are eligible belong to Girl Scouts. As a comparison, only 12 percent belong to the organization nationwide.

The recycling center, located at Fifth Street and Holdrege Ave., is shared by both Hebron Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. The Boy Scouts col-lect newspaper and cardboard.

Council members expressed ap-preciation to the Girl Scout troop for sharing the information about the community service they provide and authorized the monthly payment be increased from $50 to $200.

Apparently my comment stating the Deshler High School track was a “muddy mess” during the Thayer County Relay For Life event held in Deshler this year was incorrect. While I knew the event was moved to the church because the track was not usable after it rained, I failed to understand that it wasn’t due to mud, but that organizers felt the material would be a hindrance to wheelchairs.

According to Deshler mayor and event co-organizer Naomi Grupe, the track is made of a loose composite material which is “great for walking, very kind to the joints...however, when it’s damp, the material gives somewhat [and] our concern was it would not be easy for wheelchair use.”

My comment about the track apparently ruffl ed some feathers and I stand corrected. I realize and appreciate the hard work event organizers and volunteers go to every year for the Relay For Life event given I am a survivor myself, and it was not my intention to undermine their good works.

* * *I just returned from a northern exposure vacation - went to

Itasca State Park in Minnesota to see, again, where the great Mississippi River gets its start. Mostly I went for the cool, dry weather; I always get a little prickly in late August around here because the heat and humidity go on and on and on...

Anyway, I’ve made it a part of my travels to fi nd a “world’s largest” item no matter where I go because I live in a town that touts one. For example, on this latest trip I found the world’s largest tiger muskie (it’s a fi sh) in Nevis, which is just east of Park Rapids which is just east of Fargo, if that helps. I bring this up because Monday I met a couple, Ted and Jane Tofari, who are making it a point to visit every county in the United States. (See “County Counters count Thayer County” on the front page.) I was particularly drawn to their story for, like me, there’s a quest involved, and I probably could have stood around talking to them all day had I still been on vacation. I especially wanted to look through the 90 or so binders of county courthouse photos, pictures of interest and state seals they have, but Jane said those were stored at her home in South Carolina.

I asked if I could take their photo on Hebron’s porch swing offering up our local “world’s largest” as a possible point of interest – she said the picture was fi ne, but her “point of inter-est photo” for Thayer County would not be the porch swing. Which, after giving myself a mental slap on the head, made sense because her points of interest are county related, not city related. Kudos to her for sticking to her quest – I took their picture on the courthouse steps and fondly thought about my growing collection of photos from my own quest.

this heat and humidity – 31 days ‘til Autumn.

2011 Nebraska State FairThe 142nd Nebraska

State Fair kicks off next week. Last year, the State Fair moved to Grand Island and it was a huge success. This year the State Fair runs August 26 through Septem-ber 5 and it should be better than ever.

Last year’s fair drew 309,400 people through the gates. Like many Ne-braskans, I attended, and I enjoyed visiting the attrac-tions and seeing the sights the new location and facili-ties had to offer. The new state-of-the-art livestock buildings take center stage on the grounds. The climate controlled birthing pavilion and milking parlor allowed children of all ages to learn more about livestock pro-duction in our great state.

This year additional im-provements have been made to the grounds including the addition of trees, grass and rocked areas. The State Fair Board has worked hard to create a better traffi c fl ow, with a new entrance on the east side of the grounds and an on-grounds shuttle ser-vice to make getting around the fair even easier.

Fairgoers can expect to see new shows and attrac-tions this year including RFD-TV’s Trigger and Bullet Happy Trails Tour, Dr. Lori’s Antique Apprais-als Comedy Tour, Aussie Kingdom, the Movie Stunt Adventure and Street Beat Parkour Percussion.

Kids of all ages will enjoy the Stuhr Museum’s 1890s living history railroad town in the Kidz Zone,

along with fair favorites, Hedrick’s petting zoo and racing pigs show.

You’ll also be able to take in a great show while at the fair, including performances by Cheap Trick, Willie Nel-son, LeAnn Rimes, Jeremy Camp, Crystal Gale, the Band Perry and Nebraska’s own Larry the Cable Guy.

Some annual favorites are back as well. Nebraska’s Largest Classroom will be in session with State Fair ex-hibits providing a fi eld trip opportunity for K-6th grad-ers and teachers from public, private and home schools across the state. Our State Fair is an excellent example of a modern fair experience, featuring Interactive Educa-tion.

The annual Veterans Day Celebration will be

held on August 29th. The day begins with a special recognition of Vietnam War veterans during a 9 a.m. event at the Heartland Event Center.

In addition to concerts, midway rides, games, and food vendors, the Nebraska State Fair celebrates the business and educational accomplishments of major industries in the state, with displays featuring the latest farm equipment, new tech-nologies and agricultural products.

Everyone associated with the State Fair has worked hard to make the second year at Grand Island even better than last year. I’ll be there several days and I hope you will too. See you at the Fair!

Children go to pre-school and school to learn, but par-ents and caregivers should be teaching their children social-emotional skills too. Social-emotional skills are skills that help children know how to behave in social set-tings and how to express and handle emotion.

Parents can teach children how to succeed in school by teaching them how to fol-low directions. To learn this skill, start with something simple like “Take your plate and put it in the dishwasher.” Repetition helps with learning instruction. Another example is playing a game because they must follow the rules.

Children must also know how to pay attention in a classroom. Reading a book or performing one activity for extended periods of time helps children gradually in-crease their attention span. As children are expanding their attention span, adults may have to help children. For example, adults could show children many different ways of stacking blocks and encourage them as they play with the blocks.

Another crucial skill is knowing how to share and take turns, which helps them be considerate of others. Par-ents and caregivers must guide children through this process so that children understand the importance of sharing. Instead of saying, “We need to share,” and grabbing a toy away from the child, adults need to explain why they must share and set a good example by doing it themselves.

Children must also learn how to solve problems with words instead of getting an-gry. A child who screams and yells does not know how to express his or her emotion in a healthy way. Instead of im-mediately scolding children for losing their temper, ask them what they could have done instead of getting angry. Then have them practice the

right behavior.For younger children, learn-

ing can be done with praise. Children need about five positive interactions to every negative interaction to keep on learning. Do not just scold them for doing wrong; praise them for doing something right. However, if a child has a negative behavior, such as biting or kicking, he or she will need 13 positive interactions for every negative interaction to change that behavior.

At the core of teaching children social-emotional skills is parents and caregiv-ers building relationships with their children. Adults build relationships with children by spending time with them and paying attention to them. Talk and listen to your child and get to know his or her likes and dislikes. Laugh and joke with them. Give them chances to make decisions, such as which shirt they want to wear to school, to help them understand the importance of making their own decisions.

Parents and caregivers should keep in mind that children need time to learn, so adults must provide patient reminders and explanations repeatedly over a period of time. Adults must also consis-tently model good and healthy behavior for the children.

In the end, children cannot be expected to behave like adults because they are still kids. What is important is that they learn age-appropriate social-emotional skills.

13:1 Ratio and Helping YoungChildren With Social Skills

Spring calving herds across the Midwest and Southwest will soon be planning to wean the calves. Some producers may wean the calves from young or thin cows during late September in order to regain some body condition before winter adds to the nutrient requirements. However, many herds will wean at the more tra-ditional times of late October to early November.

Calves that are enrolled in Value-added programs must be weaned at least 45 days prior to sale date. During those 45 days the calves must grow and gain effi ciently. Therefore it is critical that these calves go through the weaning process with a minimum of stress and start to gain immediately.

Methods to reduce stress on the calves have become of great interest to producers. Therefore, weaning strategies have been studied in recent years. California researchers weaned calves with only a fence (Fenceline) separating them from their dams. These were compared to calves weaned totally separate (Sepa-rate) from dams.

The Separate Calves could not see or hear their dams. Calf behaviors were monitored for fi ve days following weaning. Fenceline calves and cows spent approximately 60 per-cent and 40 percent of their time, respectively within 10 feet of the fence during the fi rst two days. During the fi rst three days, Fenceline calves bawled and walked less, and ate and rested more, but these differences disappeared by the fourth day.

All calves were managed together starting seven days after weaning. After two weeks, Fenceline calves had gained 23 pounds more than Separate calves. This differ-ence persisted since, after 10 weeks, Fenceline calves had gained 110 pounds (1.57 lb/day), compared to 84 pounds (1.20 lb/day) for Separate calves. There was no report of any differences in sickness, but calves that eat more during the

fi rst days after weaning should stay healthier.

In fact, another study con-ducted at Ohio State Univer-sity indicated that Fenceline calves had a lower incidence of respiratory diseases. Produc-ers that have tried Fenceline weaning will remind us that it takes good, well maintained fences and adequate water supplies for both sides of the fence. Remember, a large number of cattle are going to be congregated in a small area for several days. Therefore water availability for both cows and calves is critical. To wean and background, even

for short periods, Fenceline weaning should be consid-ered.

by James K. Uphoff, Ed.D.(For an August issue of the Oakwood Register)

(This article is reprinted in the Hebron Journal-Register with Dr. James Uphoff’s per-mission.)

The University of Nebraska: Lincoln is now a part of the Big 10+ Conference. From both academic and athletic reasons the Cornhuskers bring a long and strong history of achievement.

Yes, my graduate degrees are both from UN:L and the man who was our head football coach for 25 years and is now our Athletic Director, Tom Os-borne, Ph.D. was a classmate of mine all four years at small Hastings (NE) College.

Let us look at the Academic credentials UN:L brings to the Big 10+. They LEAD the na-tion with 291 student-athletes in the COSIDA ALL Sports Academic All Americans. In football they again LEAD the nation Academic All-Ameri-cans with 99. Same with Vol-leyball at 36 A A-A and with Softball at 27 A A-A.

The fan-base leads the na-tion with a Dayton Dragons type of attendance record: NCAA record for football — 311 Consecutive home sell-outs. And the fans are knowledgeable about their sports. After a home game, the visiting team is cheered as they leave the fi eld — even when Texas had just broken a 40-game home win streak! (I was there for that sad game, but was so very proud of my native state fans).

Athletic success has been equally successful. Since 1970

Welcome Nebraska to Big 10+

the football program has won 5 national championships. Volleyball has been national champions three times since 1995. Men’s gymnastics was NCAA champion from 1979-1983 and then again in ‘88, ‘90, and ‘94.

Since 1970 my football Cornhuskers have played 34 games with 9 of the 11 Big 10+ teams (Not Purdue or TOSU) Big Red won 28 (82%) of those games. They score a total of 1,292 points vs. 404 for the Big 10. Penn State has a 3-2 edge over the ‘Huskers. A split was with both UMi and UWi at 1-1 for each. Nebraska led the series against MN 8-0, Iowa 5-1, IN 4-0, MSt 4-0, UI 2-0, and NW 1-0.

I am proud of my home state and my educational background. The bright red N on our football helmets is “reproduced” each year in my front yard fl owerbed.

Academic success is a key part of our heritage which is why we like to remind everyone of the importance of knowledge (minus the k since we are not Kansas fans!) N = nowledge! :-) Athletic and Academic success can be close partners and this is the heritage that Nebraska brings with it to the Big 10 ++. We open at W on Oct 1, 2011 and TOSU plays at Lincoln on Oct. 8, 2011. (3 teams with Red the dominant color for each!)

Our Oakwood schools have worked very hard to follow this same goal of mutual suc-cess and I am proud to have played a small part in our local efforts to show that the old adage about dumb jocks does not fi t here with our Lumber Jacks and Jills.

—Dr. Uphoff is now in his 53rd year as an educator and his 45th year with WSU.

Thayer County Quilt Guild began its 2011-12 season Aug. 18 with a covered dish supper at Courtyard Terrace. There were 24 quilt guild members and four guests present.

The guest speaker for the evening was Shirle Chaffi n of Lincoln. Her program was on making quilts both large and small using panels. She showed quilts she had made and told members of new ideas on using panels to make quilts.

As a quilt guild the group usually has a quilt challenge each year. Margaret Karnatz and Gloria Bernadt have planned the challenge for the coming year which guess what? Each member is to make a quilt item using a quilt panel of choice, so each can use some of Shirle’s ideas.

Many quilters had entered items at the Thayer County Fair. Winning the cash prizes presented by the Quilt Guild were Julie Easton, “Best Use of Color;” Verleen Vorderstrasse,

“Best of Show Large Quilt;” Cole Schardt, “Best Youth Exhibitor;” Sue Fintel, “Best of Show Small Quilt.

Projects that the quilt guild will do during the year include: Each month a collection is held for the Blue Valley community cupboard, suggested to bring for August, canned vegetables; however, members can bring other items too if they wish and sew pillowcases for children who are in the hospital, these pillowcases will be used at Thayer County hospital.

Many members showed items for show and tell they had fi nished over the summer months.

The Sept. 15 meeting will be at Courtyard Terrace in Hebron beginning with snacks at 7 p.m., and program start-ing at 7:30 p.m. Program for September will be Flour Sack Quilts-A Trunk Show by Glo-ria Hall.

Anyone interested in quilt-ing is welcome to join us.

The second of the works of the flesh mentioned by Paul in hisepistle to the Galatians is impurity, which is a translation ofthe Greek word “akatharsia.” The word “akatharsia” originallyreferred to something being literally dirty or unclean.

However, in the Greek OldTestament it referred to ritualuncleanness, which prevented aperson, such as a menstruatingwoman, from approaching thetemple or engaging in religiousrituals. Jesus and his disciples wereaccused of “akatharsia” by thePharisees when they ate withoutwashing their hands. (Mark 7.1-6)Jesus responded to the Pharisees bytelling them that they werehypocrites, following the letter ofthe law, but failing to realize that itis not what goes into one’s mouththat makes them impure, but ratherwhat comes out of their mouth,

since our words have their source in our hearts. Impurity,then, is more properly considered not the literal uncleannessof our bodies, but the metaphorical impurity of our hearts andminds. Impurity, therefore, is a work of the flesh which taintsthe whole person. Our hearts, minds and personalities becomedefiled by impure thoughts and deeds. We should eachprayerfully consider whether our hearts and minds are pure,and strive to rid ourselves of impure thoughts.

Impurity

For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication,theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy,slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they

defile a man.

Post 5328 gives to Operation Paperback...Nancy Davidson (l) also does volunteer work in the community

besides working through Experience Works. Pictured above, sh accepts a $50 check from Thayer County Gold Star Veteran’s of Foreign Wars Post 5328 Commander Lonnie Jacobitz (r) to use toward “Operation Paperback.” Davidson has been collecting and sending books, magazines, cds and dvds to libraries at bases for soldiers. “We send them wherever they’re needed; Germany, Iraq, Korea, wherever,” she said. Davidson said the recent donation from Post 5328 would most likely be used for postage and that she is still accepting any donations of the items mentioned above. “I have a blue tote in front of my house for drop-off,” she said. Otherwise you can contact her at 402-768-8271 if you have items to donate.

Experience Works...Continued from front

cuts, Experience Works could fall victim to the govern-ment hatchet.

Started in 1965 by Lady Bird Johnson, the organization was originally a beautifi cation program called Green Thumb. At that time, and according to Experience Works history, rural leaders who recalled farmers working on county roads during the Great De-pression to pay their taxes, encouraged the former fi rst lady to use the “green thumbs” of low-income farmers to pro-vide the skilled labor for her beautifi cation program.

From this concept was born through the U.S. Department of Labor, the only federal program that currently serves the training and employment needs of older workers.

“I saw the Experience Works pamphlet in the li-brary,” Davidson said, “and fi gured I’d see what it was about.”

Today, now that the program has extended beyond beautifi -cation, participants come from a variety of work backgrounds and education levels. But, as is true with technology, the passage of years can make skills rusty, especially if those skills haven’t been used for awhile.

“I was never taught how to use a computer,” Davidson said. “We didn’t have them in school like the kids do today, and today, you almost have to know how to use one if you want to work somewhere.”

Although the Experience Works program extends be-yond its roots of yesteryear, its community service emphasis has not. Working hand-in-hand with government non-profit organizations such as libraries, schools, parks, hospitals, and county exten-sions, the program seeks to assist seniors in getting the necessary training to re-enter the workforce.

“Experience Works is basi-cally training,” said Thayer County Economic Develop-ment Alliance director Ar-lis Hohl. “Organizations like TCEDA teach Experience Works participants like Nancy new job skills that pertain to the job at hand. In this case, Nancy does some offi ce and computer work as well as helps with hands-on activities.”

TCEDA often assists the commissioners in recycling

projects, helps the County Extension with an entrepre-neurship program and aids in community-based projects.

But Nancy’s assistance in these projects may soon be in danger as the House and Senate begin to hash out cuts to programs. “I’ve already lost two hours a week,” Nancy said, and although she sur-vived an Experience Works statewide employment slash last month, her hours were cut from 20 to 18.

Also, while the hope is to turn the training session into a regular job, rural areas such as Thayer County have diffi culty with the fi nal step. “Job scar-city in our rural areas makes it diffi cult to place someone like Nancy even though she may be trained well enough to fi nd employment,” Hohl said and added, “There has to be a job to step into.”

So while they wait to see if Experience Works will survive the potentiality of even more cuts, Hohl says she appreci-ates the help Nancy gives to the TCEDA organization

much the same as Nancy val-ues the training she receives from TCEDA. “Arlis and I work pretty well together,” Davidson said. “I enjoy my job here.”

Dear Editor:Saturday afternoon Dale

and Sallie Pfeifer had con-tacted and arranged for Tex and Mary and Roger Tibbs to perform in Davenport. It takes a lot to get performers such as these people to come to a small town like Davenport.

Only a slim crowd showed. It was well-advertised as they distributed fl yers all around and the Hebron Journal did a great writeup on the pro-gram.

Truthfully, I was embar-rassed and disappointed more local people and others did not attend. Tex and Mary gave a fi ne performance by singing, playing guitar, oboe and up-right base. They sang so one could hear and not have to turn down their hearing aids for the loudness.

Roger played the guitar, sang and yodeled. He has a great performing personality on and off the stage. He and his wife came from New Zea-land. They joined with Tex and Mary to tour the Midwest.

The United Methodist Women’s group served coffee and tea and homemade cook-ies at intermission. Tickets for the afternoon were $8. Where could you go and enjoy an af-ternoon of entertainment and coffee and cookies for that? One comment I heard was that they should have charged $50 or $60, so see what you missed?

Davenport is lucky to have Dale and Sallie to organize a concert such as this and now aren’t you sorry you didn’t attend? I know, you are going to say you had other plans. I did, too, but I changed mine and I am glad I did.
