New cell tower

planned for Burchard

U.S. Cellular wants to build a 300-foot tower near Burchard. The company is currently seeking a permit to build.

The company said it will in-crease coverage in Burchard and areas west of Pawnee City. It will be among more than 360 U.S. Cellular sites in Nebraska. The Burchard site is expected to be ready to go this summer.

The company already has a cell site between Table Rock and Pawnee City.

A company spokesman said, “To select locations for new cell sites, U.S. Cellular has a team of system performance engineers who drive through our network coverage area, sometimes hun-dreds of miles a day, to test the signal strength and call quality. The customer experience is a top priority for U.S. Cellular, and we listen to customer feedback to help identify the communities that would benefit from another cell site.”

Karen Mezger loves being a guid-ance counselor.

“Just helping young people find their way in life, finding meaning to their lives. I absolutely love it or I would not be here,” she said as she sat behind her desk at HTRS. Mezger has been the guidance counselor since 2004 when Daw-son-Verdon merged with HTRS. She had been at Dawson-Verdon teaching from 1975-1979 then took time off to raise her children. She came back in 1998 as the guidance counselor at that school.

The guidance counselor is the key player in a student's desire to go to college. These counselors oversee the academic and personal progress of the student when they reach high school and through graduation.

The process of going to college starts when they are freshmen. Mezger has a file cabinet in her of-fice and each drawer has the file of the students graduating a particular year, from 2014 to 2017. That helps keep her on top of the prog-ress of each student, and, of course, her talks start with grades.

She tells the freshmen starting out that the first semester grades they will be working toward are very important. By getting them thinking grades from day 1, she

gets them focused on what they will have to do in four years to put themselves in position to go to a college they want.

The freshmen also learn how to read their transcripts, and each is given a Credit Check sheet that tells them what classes they have taken and what their credits to date are.

“They are constantly aware of where they are on their graduation process,” she said.

Besides grades, she tells the freshmen how to get involved in school, for their own good and for the good of the school.

Sophomores take the next step by asking 1. Who am I now? 2. Where am I going? 3. How am I going to get there. These questions continue to point them forward toward a career. Mezger helps with a class called Introduction to Careers. The students start an activities resume that will list employment, refer-ences, and the like.

When the students are taught how to think about where they are going, they are shown the need for good grades, how to get scholarships, and the importance of community service. They attend one major career day program, like Explore It at SCC in Beatrice.

Sophomores take a Plan Test, which is a pre-ACT test, something they will need good scores on to get

into the school they want. It is an interest inventory test that reveals much about the students.

As juniors, they hear it again - get the grades. They also look at the upper division credits the students will be taking in high school. They take several tests like the PSAT, a preliminary for the SAT, another college entrance test. There is also the ASVAB, that is a huge interest inventory and aptitude test that the military uses, a test of basic skills.

“All of our kids take this test whether they are going to college or not. It confirms that they are on the right path,” Mezger said.

Juniors also take a Compass Test which is a test to determine apti-tude for a two-year program.

The students look at all their scores from these tests to help de-termine which way to go. A student with less than perfect math scores, for instance, who wants to be a math major in college, knows he or she has to improve to reach the destination.

Mezger advises juniors to make one college visit as they get ready for the final year in high school.

She also tells them to job-shadow. If there is a job a student likes, he or she can follow for a day a person with that job to see what it entails.

New homes in Pawnee

City?By Ray Kappelrkappel@pawneenews.com

Picture 50 new homes in Paw-nee City.

That's what Global of Sidney, Iowa, has planned for Pawnee City. The city is in dire need of housing and the company owned by Jack Price is hoping to make dreams come true.

What they offer is homes that are pre-cut and which are built from the ground up. They could be going up on 5 lots owned by the Chamber of Commerce and Block 37 near the ball diamond.

The homes are energy-efficient, says Jack Price, president of the company. Price, a retired police officer, started the business in 2008. They also make storm shelters and safe rooms.

Pawnee City 6th, 7th and 8th graders tried to get a Lego up on the com-petition at the state qualifier Lego Robotic Championships Saturday at Humboldt. One team from Pawnee City, The Dewds, won the Robot Design award and will be going to state. The team is made up of Logan Newman, Michelle Wenzl, Jacky Schultheiss, Eliza Hunzeker, and Marcus Gray.

The state tournament is held at SAC Air Museum Feb. 22.The top eight teams at the state qualifier go to the state tournament and

there were 21 teams in all competing Saturday.The competition combines Legos with computer technology. Small robots

are built out of legos and are then programmed to perform a task.It is not just any task. The competition picks out an issue each year for

the students to work on. This year's theme is Nature's Fury. The students

are to look at a natural disasters and come up with an innovative solu-tion to that disaster. One Pawnee City team is doing volcanoes, another thunderstorms, and another tsunami. That's the 6th grade. The 7th and 8th grade teams are working on tornadoes.

The 7th and 8th grade team is an after-school program for anyone who wished to join. The 6th graders work on their projects during school time.

The students are judged in three categories, the robot games, the pre-sentation, and core values. The robot games are the actual performance of the robot with the task. The presentation gets the students to research a real-world problem and make a presentation about their solution to a panel of judges. Core values is a competition that is given to them at the state qualifier. The task will be how well they work as a team.

“It's problem-solving, it's high energy. It's kid-driven. It's just fun,” says computer teacher Julie Pierce. She and Mary Moser coach the teams.

2003-10 Years AgoIt isn’t every day that an artist

gets the opportunity to display their work in a public forum, but for four lucky art students at Pawnee City that day could be just around the corner, as their designs for a 5’ 40 lb fiberglass catfish were selected from a pool of more than 70 “fishy” ideas for the Fremont, “Big Fish of the Platte” display expected to be unveiled in mid-April “There will be a total of thirty-one cat-fish on display in Fremont,” said Pawnee City Art Teacher , Deb Kubik, whose design was also selected for the project. April Morse submitted an idea titled “Tune A Fish”; Leah Frederick will use glass beads to convey her idea of “Exploring the Glassy Waters”; Denny Schund, will need to make a hat for his “Cat-fish Hunter” and Correy Hin-richsen, will have some cutting to do a for his design which uses an array of colors and flames on the body of the fish.

We had our share of bitter cold weather earlier, but now we have had our share of high winds. The winds across the state were as high as 65 miles per hour, but down in this corner of the state the velocity was lower, but not by much.

Many garbage cans found new homes, but do not know if there was any damage by the wind. It would be a surprise if not.

Even with milder temperatures, there is still snow in bunches here and there about town and country.

* * *What’s your name? And what does

it mean?Everybody’s got one, and some of

them are down right confusing. Names tend to follow trends.

Years and years ago there was Mary, John, Jane, Joseph, William, Rich-ard, Anne, and what were termed the “common names.”

Often people were named for a parent, grand parent, aunt or uncle.

Did you ever notice in years past that there were names that were popular for a while, and then other names gained in popularity?

I remember times when school

programs would list three or four Emily’s in a class, and one class had a bunch of girls (more than three) with versions of Laurie, Lori, Laura, and Lora. One year there were three boys with exact first, middle, and last names.

There was a time when Biblical names were popular. Joshua, Zach-ary, Joel, and Noah to name a few.

Many times in the Bible when someone was named, the meaning of the name was listed with it. And there are a few times when men’s names were changed.

A publication listed some of the more strange names given to babies and some just made one shake your head in disbelief.

But what happened? What is the cause of some of these names, and what happened to spelling?

There are several ways to spell ‘Katelyn’ or ‘Caitlin’. And some names one wonders how is it pronounced? Then when it’s pro-nounced, I’m back to wondering how to spell it. There’s a lot to be said for spelling phonetically, but it won’t get one any points when it’s written.

One of the interesting things I

heard about naming was about the little girl with a name pronounced Fee Molly. When the mother was asked why the name Fee Molly, she said she had nothing to do with it. The birth certificate h a d h e r name writ-ten in by the attend-ing person. I t r e a d : “Female”.

My first name is the name of my m o t h e r ’s best friend. The middle name I was given is from a song. (Sounds like today, doesn’t it.) But my birth certificate only has an initial, no middle name. So do I have one?

You might as well enjoy your name; you had no choice in the matter so you can’t be blamed! Be you a Male or “Female”.

A Rose by any other name but then there is Mary, Jane and Laura

The annual meeting of members of the GERMAN MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION OF NEBRASKA

By Ray Kappelrkappel@pawneenews.com

Mike Rath brings more than 30 years of law enforcement experi-ence to his job as Chief Deputy at the Pawnee County Sheriff's Department. Rath's first day was Jan. 13.

“I love this place. It's a nice county. People who live here are very friendly. The quality of life is outstanding,” he said.

Rath has been to Pawnee City nu-merous times from where he lives in Wymore. He has been assistant police chief there for 13 and a half years.

He owns a home in Wymore and is trying to sell it to move to Pawnee City. He and his wife, Amanda, have three children, a son, Hunter, 14; a daughter, Sydney, 12; and a daughter, Abbi, 6. They all go to Wymore Southern School.

Rath is 52 and has been in law enforcement since he was 17. He is a third generation cop. His dad is semi-retired from the Buffalo County Sheriff's Department and his grandfather was chief of police at Bayrd, Nebraska.

Rath grew up in Kearney and attended Cameron University in Lawton, OK, graduating in 1997 with a bachelor's in psychology and

a minor in criminal justice.He was a criminal investigator in

the Army for 20 years, retiring in 1999. He attended the Oklahoma State Police Academy and his first job was in Walters, OK, a suburb of 5,000 of Lawton, OK. After the Walters job, he moved to Wymore to serve there.

He said he liked coming to Paw-nee City and County because he had more area to cover, rather than just the town of Wymore.

He said Pawnee County is not crime-ridden but does have its is-sues, like a problem with drugs. He is looking forward to helping the county solve those issues.

The Library Book Club is reading “Sister Chicks on the Loose” by Robin Jones Gunn. They will meet on Feb. 19 at 7 p.m.

The next book club will be March 19 and they will be reading “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” by Mark Hadden.

Some of the new book titles at the library include “Takedown Twenty: Stephanie Plum” by Janet Eva-novich and “Ice Storm” by Anne Stuart. Children's fiction that is new includes “Tiny the Snow Dog” by Cari Meister and “The Winter Pony” by Iain Lawrence.

There are many new DVDS in also.

Nine hunting related incidentsin Nebraska reported in 2013

LINCOLN - Nine hunting-related incidents were reported to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission in 2013, one of which resulted in a death. Four of the incidents involved the discharge of a rifle, four the discharge of a shotgun and one involved a fall from an elevated stand. Seven of the incidents, including the fatal one, involved one person shooting another. One incident involved a self-inflicted injury. Four incidents occurred while hunting upland birds, two while hunting big game, two while hunting nongame animals and one while hunting furbearers.Over the past decade, there has been an average of 10 hunting incidents per year in Nebraska in which a person is injured or killed. Approximately 175,000 people hunt in Nebraska each year."Hunting safety is everyone's concern, and Nebraska hunters do an excellent job of ensuring safety each year," said Mike Streeter, Nebraska hunter education coordinator.To find a hunter education course in Nebraska, visit HuntSafeNebraska.org.

"The Salvation of the State is Watchfulness in the Citizen."

The Weather Channel recently ranked Lincoln, Nebraska, as the 7th coldest in the nation based on 30-year-averages for December through February in the 20 cities which are persis-tently the coldest.

Those of us who regularly observe either the 60-day or 90-day spew at the Tower of Babble are often left to wonder how all that hot air from legislative debate doesn’t alter those cold temps. Especially in this, the 60-day -- election is right around the corner -- short session of the nation’s only unicameral. And especially in this year when the venerable Defender of the Downtrodden – Ernie Chambers of Omaha -- has added the mountain lion to his list … and an inordinate number of senators are running for higher office … and the last-year Governor wants tax reform.

At least two lawmakers are following his lead and offering tax cut plans. Even though the specially ap-pointed team of 13 state senators tasked with a study of the tax system and recommending ways to change it said it didn’t need massive tinkering now, Sens. Charlie Janssen of Fremont and Beau McCoy of nearby Elk-horn have both offered plans. Both are Republicans. Both are running for governor. Both refused to sign the final report of the Tax Modernization Committee. Did I mention that both are hoping to be the Republican gubernatorial nominee (along with four others)?

Janssen e-mailed his plan to the media several hours before McCoy, who carried the governor’s water on a

couple unsuccessful tax reform bills last session, outlined his proposal at a news conference in Omaha.

McCoy offered two bills – LB669 and LB670 – to trans-fer $85 million from the state’s cash reserve to the Property

Tax Credit Cash Fund and to lower the agricultural land valuation from 75 percent of actual value to 65 percent over a three-year phase-in. He said his plan would give counties, cities and school districts time to prepare for the impact. Like my plan? Vote for me.

Janssen’s bill – LB721 – would offer the agricultural land valuation reduction from 75 percent to 65 percent next year. It would also gradually lower individual tax-payer rates over four years. For some, the rates would decline from 6.84 percent to 5.5 percent over four years. He is also offering a bill that will show how to pay for the reductions. Like MY plan, vote for me!

Senator Bill Kintner of Papillion offered a couple measures – LBs708 and 709 – that would phase in state income tax exemptions for Social Security and military retirement benefits.

Chambers offered LB675 to end tax exemptions for religious organizations. He said that taxing churches and cathedrals is Biblical – rendering unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s.

So how’s that? Hot enough for you? Not bad in the middle of the nation’s 7th coldest city. But we’re just getting started.

Legislative Session Heats Up Nation’s 7th Coldest City

As we begin the 2014 Legislative Session, I outlined in my State of the State address to the Legislature that Nebraskans deserve tax relief. I emphasized that I look forward to working with the Legislature and our citizens to keep Nebraska moving forward.

I want to thank our citizens for their dedication and commitment to their communities, our state and the United States of America. Our Nebraska values of personal responsibility, family, hard work and fiscal responsibility have kept Nebraska in better shape than the rest of the country.

We’ve learned how to compete in global markets. We’ve strength-ened Nebraska’s education system by focusing on academic excel-lence and academic improvement. We care about our children and their future. That’s why the biggest and most important issue facing the State of Nebraska now and into the future is high taxes.

There are basic economic prin-ciples that are critical for our economy. Tax relief is a major driving force for economic suc-cess. Nebraska’s strong agriculture economy won’t continue to exist with unreasonably high prop-erty taxes. When agriculture fares poorly, so does rural Nebraska.

The success of small businesses is also an essential component of Nebraska’s economic vitality. High taxes limit their growth and their ability to create new jobs. Over the past decade, median family incomes in Nebraska have declined. Food prices are up, health care costs are increasing and middle-class family take-home pay is down.

In a recent study, the Tax Foun-dation, a highly respected national non-partisan tax research group, reported that there are “significant negative effects of taxes on eco-nomic growth even after control-ling for various other factors such as government spending, business cycle conditions, and monetary policy.” It went on to state, “Taxes on income and wages reduce the incentive to work. Progressive in-come taxes, where higher income is taxed at higher rates, reduce the returns to education, since high incomes are associated with high levels of education, and so reduce the incentive to build human capital.”

Tax issues are multifaceted in Nebraska. Local governments

decide prop-erty tax rates. State govern-ment sets in-come tax and sales tax rates. I appreciate the discussion that the Tax M o d e r n i z a -tion Commit-tee had regard-ing taxes, but it’s time for the Legislature to act.

When local government spending increases, property taxes go up. We need our partners in local govern-ments to slow the rate of growth in local spending in order to achieve real property tax relief.

In rural Nebraska, record high property taxes are hurting our farmers and ranchers because they have experienced dramatic growth in ag land values. Without action, their economic prosperity is at risk. We can help our farmers and ranchers by supporting the Nebraska Farm Bureau proposal to lower ag land valuations from 75 percent to 65 percent.

That’s one part of tax relief. The other challenge is Nebraska’s high income taxes and the Ne-braska Legislature sets those rates. Nebraska’s income tax rates are among the highest in America and higher than all of our neighbor-ing states except one. Lowering Nebraska’s income tax rates are essential to attracting higher pay-ing jobs.

The bottom line is this: taxes are too high in Nebraska and we can do something about it. We can help Nebraska’s middle-class families, farmers, ranchers and small busi-ness owners this session.

Nebraska can afford tax relief. This week, I reported to the Ne-

braska Legislature that Nebraska can afford up to $500 million in tax relief over the next three years. The State of Nebraska has $1.2 billion in cash in its checking and savings accounts and Nebraska is over taxing its citizens right now. We need to change that. Nebraska has a growing economy, a strong cash reserve and we have worked hard to control state spending.

The choices we make today are about Nebraska’s future. We need to increase the take-home pay of Nebraskans by providing them tax relief.

Finishing what I startedI started a craft project re-

cently. Actually, I’m finishing a craft proj-ect I started many years ago – like, 20 yea r s a g o . S o it kind of feels new in a way.

S o m e -where in the neigh-borhood of 20 yea r s ago, I got a pattern for a N a t i v -ity Scene made from plastic canvas. I know it had to be that long ago because I actually had time to make a stable with a star above it, an angel, chickens for the loft of the stable, a palm tree, a drummer boy, Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus in a manger, and two wise men. That’s right, just two wise men.

I’m sure I had good intentions, but somehow I got busy and never got around to finishing the third wise man. I even had the forms cut out to make him, but I never got back to the job. This year, I got out the Nativity Scene again and decided that I should really get that other wise man done. I can do without the camel and the cow and the sheep, but I really do need a third wise man.

I could still find the pattern book and the forms I had cut out, but I only had about half the colors of yarn left. Luckily, I had made a list of the name of each color I used. That made it a lot easier to find the right colors of yarn to fill in. Then these cold days gave me motivation to do something that didn’t involve going outside.

I worked the base of the figure first because it is the easiest. Then, I began on one part of the actual wise man. I had worked on it enough to get the pattern of stitches down and finish about one-third of the body when my son walked by and looked at the piece I was working on. “The head’s lopsided,” he told me. I looked at it closely. Then I got out the other piece of the wise man’s body and compared. Darn it! He was right.

All these years, this piece of the wise man has been sitting in the envelope with a lopsided head. Unfortunately, the head is lop-sided small instead of large. This means that I will have to get out the sheet of plastic canvas and cut out a whole new piece just so I can add about six extra squares to one side of the head.

That discovery kind of bummed me out, but I am determined to have all three wise men before I put the Nativity Scene away this year. I got the new colors of yarn to match with the old, I still have all the other supplies to fin-ish it, and I will not be defeated by a lopsided piece of plastic canvas.

I am almost tempted to try to hide the imperfection, but even if no one else noticed, I would always know and it would bother me every year. It’s not that hard, or time-consuming, to cut out a new piece. I just have to be patient.

That’s the hard part. I just want to be done, but here I have to back up a pace and start over. Perhaps impatience is what got me in this spot in the first place. I really have no memory of cutting out the pieces. In fact, I thought I had cut out pieces to some of the animals, too, but I didn’t find them. All I found was a “slightly imperfect” wise man.

But I can fix him. I can make him better, stronger, and more symmetrical than he was before. It won’t cost me six-million dol-lars either. Although I’m not sure what the going rate is on patience. I guess I’ve waited 20 years for this moment – what’s another half hour going to matter?

Identity theft has been the number one consumer complaint at the Federal Trade Commission for 13 consecutive years. According to a report released by the Bureau of Justice Statistics in December, these crimes cost men and women across the country over $24.7 billion in 2012 alone.

Unfortunately, far too many hardworking citizens have endured this difficult and stressful experience. Identity theft leaves victims – especially the elderly – feeling vulnerable. Personal information ranging from their bank accounts to household information has been egregiously compromised.

Recently, news broke that during the holiday shop-ping season, the popular retail store Target suffered a massive data breach. Initial reports suggested that 40 million customers had their debit and credit card information stolen. Days later, it was announced that the names, addresses and phone numbers of up to 70 million more customers had been pilfered as well. While details of the breach are still under investigation, potentially more than 100 million Americans – nearly one third of our population – have fallen victim. The number of those violated is staggering, and notably, they account for just one breach.

The scope and volume of information stolen in data breaches put consumers at greater risk of having their identities stolen. Experts suggest it gives criminals increased resources to devise new ways to impersonate victims. It also enables scammers to trick people into providing even more private information, such as PIN and social security numbers.

As many Nebraskans may know, the widely used social media platform, Snapchat, was also recently hacked. Phone numbers of 4.6 million of its users were stolen. It has also been reported that three other retailers, who have yet to be identified, may have been attacked as well. The American people have enough on their minds. They shouldn’t have the added burdens of fighting identity theft and scammers. Identity theft is not just an inconvenience. It threatens the credit ratings of hardworking citizens, and it’s an enormous tax on people’s time.

This growing crisis has exposed the glaring need to

update our data security system. Effective measures to do so will require congressional action. As a member of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, I hope to work with my colleagues on this pressing matter. The committee has an important role in assessing vulnerabilities in our current system and working towards policies that successfully address potential problems.

On January 10, I sent a letter to the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Commerce Committee urging them to sched-ule hearings to examine recent data breaches. These hearings would better enable lawmakers to explore how we can both prevent and minimize the impact of data breaches in the future.

I believe that it is important to hear from security experts, consumers, and businesses owners who have firsthand knowledge of these data storage systems and their weaknesses. Smart policy results from an open, collaborative process with input from all those affected. Our first reaction should not be to automati-cally dispense fresh reams of red tape. Rather, policy solutions must be thoughtful, targeted, and deliberate to be effective.

I look forward to working with my colleagues, both Republicans and Democrats, on proposals that truly enhance our data security, protect consumers, and make life easier for the American people.

During the week of January 20, I’ll be using the Senate’s “state work week” to travel the state and meet directly with Nebraskans. I plan to be in the Omaha area, Lincoln, South Sioux City, Wakefield, Wahoo, and Oakland. I look forward to visiting these communities and discussing many of these and other topics that are on people’s minds.

Thank you for taking part in our democratic process. I look forward to visiting with you again next week.

other great grandma. She was left out of last week's story on Madison.

Calvin Lee Roy Flanagin was born on April 25, 1925, in Pawnee City, Nebraska to Iiron Flanagin and Laura Siske Flanagin. His mother died in 1928 from tubercu-losis when Calvin was a toddler and Calvin also contracted the illness and as a result was sent to live in Colorado for nearly three (3) years at a sanitarium until he recovered from such disease. When Calvin returned to his family, he lived with his father and stepmother, Mildred Avery, and step-brother, Russell Stone, while his sister, Alberta lived across the road with their grandpar-ents, Rudolph and Rosalina Siske. Calvin’s father and step-mother had five more children, James, David, Lewis, Gary, and Charleen, and all of the children attended Gravel Hill Country School in rural Pawnee County southeast of Pawnee City before completing their education in Pawnee City Public Schools. Previous to the outbreak of World War II Iiron and Mildred moved with their family to California to work with Iiron’s brother, John Flanagin.

As a result of this move, on his 16th birthday, Calvin went with his father to a Navy enlistment center and enlisted in the United States Navy in 1941. Following his completion of boot camp at San Diego, Calvin was shipped to Pearl Harbor where he was await-ing assignment to the U.S.S. Texas on December 7, 1941 when Japan attacked the United States by bomb-ing Pearl Harbor. Calvin served in the United States Navy on various ships throughout World War II and his service included being in both the Atlantic and Pacific theatres of war. Calvin was honorably discharged from the Navy on April 25, 1946.

While in the Navy, Calvin met his future wife, Cecilia Agnes Gilbert in New Orleans and they were married on January 12, 1945. After Calvin’s discharge from the Navy Cecilia and he lived in New Orleans where Calvin worked as a stevedore and in an auto body shop before they moved to California where he worked on a ranch and later as an oil field worker. During these years they enjoyed the birth of their son, David Edward on August 19, 1949 and Katherine Laura on May 10, 1952.

In 1957 Calvin and Cecilia moved back to Pawnee City with their children and Calvin began working in a rock quarry for Hopper Broth-ers and he worked in this capacity as a skilled welder and foreman for more than thirty years until his retirement. Calvin also owned and operated the Parkside Drive-Inn for a short time until he commenced his next career in lawn mowing.

BEATRICE - The Pawnee City Indians made the most of their #3 seed at the Class B Mudecas Basketball Tournament last week as they knocked off top-seeded Bruning-Davenport-Shickley in the finals to claim the 2014 Class B Championship.

Pawnee City vs. MeridianThe Indians began their cham-

pionship run on Tuesday, January 14th with a 52-25 victory over the #6 seeded Meridian Mustangs.

Pawnee City led 11-6 after the first quarter and 23-11 heading into the locker rooms. They edged Meridian 9-8 in the 3rd quarter before going on a 20-6 scoring spree in the final quarter to close the door.

Chase Grizzle paced the Indians with 19 points and had 5 treys, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks. Voy Pearson and Scott Borcher followed with 8 points each while Pearson added one trey and 2 as-sists and Borcher had 5 steals, 5 assists and 4 rebounds.

Pawnee City vs. Diller/OdellThe victory moved the Indians

into the semifinal game on Thurs-day, January 16th against the #2 seeded Diller/Odell Griffins.

P.C. trailed 9-13 after the first quarter and 24-25 at the half, but put together a solid second half with 23 points while holding the Griffins to just 14 to avenge an earlier season loss.

Pearson led the Indians this time

with 16 points and had 3 treys, and 2 steals. Grizzle also hit double figures with 10 points with 1 trey and had 2 steals, 2 assists and 2 rebounds. Borcher led in rebounds with 7.

Pawnee City vs. B-D-SThe win vaulted the Indians

into the championship game on Saturday, January 18th against the top-seeded Bruning-Davenport-Shickley Eagles.

Pawnee City got off to a quick start including back to back treys by Pearson and Grizzle for an 8-2 lead and led 12-4 after one quarter of play.

B-D-S made a mini-run of their own, but Borcher and Grizzle cancelled those points out with nice drives in the paint to put P.C. up 21-13.

Borcher came right back with a pullup jumper and then a trey at the three minute mark. With 2:13 showing, Pearson hit his 2nd trey of the night to make it 29-13 in the Indians' favor.

Borcher drove the paint for two more buckets and his 15th point of the game. Unfortunately, that would be all he would score for the rest of the game.

P.C. seemingly had the upper hand, but B-D-S wouldn't go away in the 2nd half. The Eagles opened the 3rd quarter with two treys, a basket underneath and two freethrows to cut the lead to 26-33.

Grizzle finally broke the scoring slump for P.C. at the two minute mark with a trey from the corner to go back up by ten, 36-26.

Tyler Gyhra added a basket soon after, but B-D-S came back with two more freethrows. With just 5 seconds left on the clock, Grizzle knocked down another key trey to give P.C. a 41-28 lift at the end of the period.

B-D-S was making another slight comeback in the 4th quarter when Grizzle hit another clutch trey at the 6:28 mark. That made it 44-32.

After a quick B-D-S time out, the Indians went into another scoring slump. The Eagles, on the other hand, went on a 10-0 scoring run to cut it back to a very tight 42-44 game with four minutes left.

Grizzle came through in the clutch once again as he banked in a trey at the 3:32 mark to put P.C. back up 47-42.

After an Eagle miss at the other end, the Indians worked on running the clock down in the final two minutes and Grizzle was fouled twice. He made 3/4 freethrows to put P.C. up 50-42.

B-D-S scored at the other end and sent P.C. back to the line, but Borcher couldn't connect on the 1&1. With 28 seconds left, the Eagles knocked down a long-range trey to cut the lead back to three, 47-50.

Grizzle was fouled quickly, but missed both of his freethrows to give B-D-S yet another chance. This time they couldn't hit the trey and Grizzle was fouled after the rebound. He calmly downed both attempts to seal the 52-47 victory

and the Class B championship.Grizzle led the Indians with 27

points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists while Borcher finished with his 15 points and had 4 rebounds and 2 assists.P.C. 11 12 9 20-52Meridian 6 5 8 6-25

Lewiston vs. FCSHLewiston came into the Class A

tourney as the #8 seed, but gave the Irish all they wanted on Tuesday, January 14th.

The Tigers were tied with FCSH at 13-13 after the first quarter and were ahead by a 27-26 slight mar-gin at the half. FCSH outscored them in the last two periods how-ever, 15-10 in the 3rd and 19-16 in the 4th period for the 60-53 win.

Cutter Singleton poured in 26 points to lead the Tigers with four treys and also had 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 rebounds before fouling out. Hayden Albers also hit double fig-ures with 12 points and 2 treys and had 6 rebounds and 2 assists. Billy Speckmann added 10 points with one trey and had 5 rebounds.

Lewiston vs. ParkviewWith the loss, Lewiston dropped

into consolation play on Saturday, January 18th where the competi-tion didn't get much easier.

They faced the #4 seeded Parkview Patriots, but came away with a 61-51 victory. LHS jumped out to a 15-10 first quarter lead and were up 27-24 heading into

the locker rooms. They edged the Patriots 18-12 in the 3rd period and 16-15 in the final quarter to hold on for the win.

How to Get More from Your Income Tax RefundTips and Advice on Spending Wisely

By: SENCAIncome Tax season will soon be

upon us. For those who are for-tunate enough to qualify for a re-fund it is often the excitement of having "extra" money to spend on something new or something that catches our eye. For many who have struggled throughout the year making ends meet, a tax re-fund is often viewed as that "fun" money to buy the things a person wants more so than take care of the "needs" that seem to be over-whelming at times.

While this may seem to be a cycle that is tough to break, Southeast Nebraska Community Action Part-nership (SENCA) will be provid-ing opportunities to help families invest those dollars into the great-est asset they have, themselves! In addition to the FREE Income Tax preparation SENCA provides to qualifying families through the VITA (Volunteer Income Tax As-sistance) program, SENCA is now offering FREE Adult Financial Literacy classes. These classes will cover: Money Management, creating a Spending Plan, and will provide information on programs offered through SENCA, such as Home Buyer Education, IDA (In-dividual Development Account), and other services that help south-east Nebraska families achieve economic stability. All classes are 6 hours in length, so if interested in the evening classes, please note that you will need to attend both evening sessions in order to com-plete the class.

There will be two different six hour classes available on scheduled Saturdays. Saturday, February 1st and Saturday, March 1st in Auburn at the Nemaha County Hospital from 9:00 am to noon and from 1:00 to 4:00pm, lunch that day is on your own, you are welcome to bring a sack lunch. Tuesday, Feb-ruary 4th and Thursday, February 6th in Falls City at the Falls City Senior Center, from 5:30 to 8:30 pm both evenings. Monday, Feb-ruary 10th and Wednesday, Febru-ary 12th in Nebraska City at the Center for Children and Families, class times each night from 5:30 to 8:30 pm.

Due to limited availability, pre-registration is required. You can register by calling 402-862-2411 extension #115 or by calling the SENCA Outreach office in your county. The deadline to register for the February 1st, 4th, 6th, 10th, and 12th classes will be Thursday, January 30th. The deadline to register for the March 1st class is Wednesday, February 26th.

To learn more about SENCA pro-grams and services, please visit WWW/MM;I_CJJJH£ and "like us" on Facebook at www.Fiice-bqok/Soncj.1.

A proposal from Stallbaumer Construction in the sum of $10,700 was presented to the Board for insulating and lining the City Mainte-nance Building to accommodate the Fire Department.

Once electrical is hooked up, Maintenance can complete insulating building. Deadline for completion of the Project is currently set for the end of January, 2014.

Ron Kaster has contacted the person who showed interest in purchasing the Grapple a few months ago and reported he is no longer interested. Village to keep equipment for time being.

The matter of Street Projects for 2014 will remain on the Agenda to be discussed at future meetings until a definite plan is in place.

Clerk advised that she is still waiting for the bid from Moser Tree Service to remove 2 dead trees at the DuBois Cem-etery, will follow up on this and will pres-ent to the Board once received.

A motion was made, seconded and ap-proved to keep Don Miller as Chairman, Ron Kaster as Street Department Head and Ralph Kaster as Water & Sewer De-partment Head for 2014.

PSC Dean's ListPeru State College has released its Dean's List for the fall semester.

Making it from this area are:Pawnee City-Lana Hege, senior; Katheryn Hebner McAhon, senior.Burchard-Preson Sunneberg, junior.Humboldt-Michelle Renee Carlin, senior; Brandi Edmond, senior; Chel-

sea Jane Shaw, senior.To make the Dean's List, a student had to have a grade of 3.5 or higher.

Southeast Community College in Nebraska has released its Dean’s List for the quarter recently com-pleted on the Beatrice, Lincoln and Milford campuses.

To be recognized on SCC’s Dean’s List, a student must com-plete at least six quarter credit hours of the term with a minimum grade-point average of 3.5. Classes with a grade of “P” (Pass) do not count toward the six-hour minimum.

Following is a list of students who requested that a release be

sent to your newspaper. Students are listed in alphabetical order by hometown.

Rachel Lee, Pawnee City, Aca-demic Transfer; Katie Osborne, Burchard, Business Administra-tion; Michaela Parks, Pawnee City, Business Administration; Amber Turnbull, Baileyville, Academic Transfer; Tyler VanWinkle, Stein-auer, Diesel Technology-Truck; Ryan Wissler, Pawnee City, Diesel Technology-Truck;

HTRS moves forward on building plans

The HTRS school board con-tinues to move forward on a pos-sible building of an addition to the school.

They are looking at building a fit-ness center/weight room and 8-9 classrooms and a commons area at a proposed cost of around $2.5 mil-lion.

The architect Larry Chilese has been selected and now the school board plans to meet with two fi-nancial groups, DA Davidson and Ameritus on Feb. 6 at 6 p.m. No action will be taken at that time, but a lot of questions will be asked, said HTRS superintendent Clinton Kimbrough.

By adding several classrooms this may allow the school to bring over two grades from Table Rock, pos-sibly the 4th and 5th grades to the Humboldt site, Kimbrough said.

The decision to build has yet to be made, he stressed. The school board can still back out of the project, he said. Until they select a company to build it, the plan is just that, a plan.

Continued from page 1

The seniors are almost there. Mezger works with the seniors in an advisory group. Seniors get their resume ready to go and it has to be letter-perfect to pass inspec-tion by Mezger. College visits start that final year, and they are told to apply to at least two schools.

Then they start writing essays to apply for scholarships. Using searches with Education Quest and Nebraska Career Connections, they find info on careers, funding, and scholarships.

They also have to make decisions about housing, whether it will be an apartment to go to SCC or a dorm to go to a larger school.

HTRS is blessed with generous scholarships. The HTRS School Foundation gave out $16,000 to 14 students last year. Local Humboldt scholarships amounted to $6,000 and there were Table Rock schol-arships for $1,600.

Gist Scholarships, from a one-time local banker, totaled $36,000 for students going to UNL. Last year eight students received that money.

Mezger tells her own story of finding a career, and it has helped

shape her ideas about possibili-ties. She was in a sewing factory in Auburn working alongside her mother. She was happy with that job and thought that was the job

she wanted to have. College didn't seem possible. Then she talked to the guidance counselor at Auburn High School. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Ray Kappel/RepublicanKaren Mezger guides many students toward college at HTRS.
