As the Thayer Central Board of Education, the facilities committee to raise a redesign for the campus and Ayars and Ayars met Dec. 29, the goal was obvious: to mold a high functioning facility while staying within the district’s budget of $3.5 million during the first phase of a multi-faceted project. The nearly two-hour meeting resulted in a solid savings for the district at approximately $3 million with the remainder earmarked for improvements. “It leaves the slate open for phase two and three, and money to do extra things,” Superintendent Drew Harris said at the meeting. “I think we take some of this extra money and make the whole package something every- one is going to be excited about.” The district is revamping to in- clude elementary students, who are attending school in an aging and outdated facility several blocks away from the main campus.

The board will convene one hour before at 6 p.m. In scheduling the meeting and discussing a follow-up meeting to approve the final particulars, dis- cussion broke out on the public’s low attendance at meetings and the district’s efforts to pull people in. “We have tried for five years to get the public involved,” Board Member Mike Prellwitz said. “We’ve got to make a decision and we’ve got to move.” “We have really worked hard to get the public involved,” Scott Harms of the facilities committee said. Additional comments pointed to nearly half of the attendance at meet- ings has been school staff. But Board Member Deb Craig had another take. “The public needs to be able to ask their questions,” Craig said. Craig was the one who spoke up on letting the public in on the proposed plan before the board takes its final vote and breaks ground. That comment may have stemmed from an earlier attempt to explore another design-build team, sug- gested by Board Member Brad Cooper. Cooper made several suggestions to steer the district away from the Ayars and Ayars design because there were a total of three plans presented to the board in mid-December. In satisfying the district’s phase one goals – eight classrooms; one computer room; office area; restrooms; teacher workroom; tor- nado safety area; renovations in the speech room area and Intermediate restrooms; re-carpet Intermediate hallways and library, and install fire safety equipment; and keyless entry for the Intermediate building – Ayars and Ayars padded the district’s sav- ings on the project. “It’s good that we are spending time discussing this. We don’t spend money like this on a regular basis. These are no small decisions. We want to make sure we are doing it right. These facilities will be here for decades to come and we are doing due diligence,” Harris said after the meeting. He said he appreciates all those who have been involved. The only element on the list of priority needs for phase one not addressed Dec. 29 was the indoor playground. “Do we need to look at a differ- ent design that doesn’t have these compromises? This is just one very narrow scope,” Cooper said. A temporary solution was dis- cussed – a curtain would divide the Intermediate gymnasium for a play area, and a permanent plan will come later.

Boettjer used the three-day class to teach the fundamentals of cartooning. Tony Boettjer loves art. “I love to draw. I love to paint,” the Chester resident said following a workshop he gave at Hebron Secrest Library on drawing cartoons. Children listened as Boettjer taught them how to draw shapes and lines over lines to perfect pieces meant to communicate movements or expressions. His workshop was for three days. “I saw improvement in one day,” Boettjer said about his students. “The kids were responsive. It went great.” Boettjer voluntarily taught the class at the request of Library Direc- tor Terry Olson, who said it was the library’s first drawing class. He said the class benefitted him as much as the students. Boettjer is a self-taught cartoonist with a background in sign painting, multimedia production and murals. In other words, he covers the creative grid with his eclectic style because he is well versed in art from the computer to store-front windows. He throws fine arts and caricatures in with his pool of knowledge. “I always knew I was an artist. I can’t remember one point in my life I haven’t drawn,” he said. Boettjer said his family moved to Chester from Chicago about a year and a half ago for the quieter side of life. He painted signs in Chicago, and that is what he is looking into here - a market for his sign painting business, which includes murals. His work is on the windows of the Blue Valley Community Action thrift store on 4th Street in Hebron, across from the library. Boettjer is available for promo- tional window painting at businesses, which includes announcements for sales and clearance events, as well as prices. The commission artist highlights illustration, graphic design and murals in his services. While pursuing new ventures, he keeps his talent in check. “The learning process will never be over for me,” he said. Boettjer has hooked into Fairbury’s art community and exhibited seven of his spray paint canvases featuring landscapes he applied from an upside down perspective.

Board closer to finalizing plans Rustic Acreage offers hand-cut steaks and specials in Hubbell Tammy Vostrez has cooked for so long, she wouldn’t be happy doing anything else. That’s good for her customers. “You have to have a passion for food to cook well. If you’re not a good cook, people don’t come back,” Vostrez said. She and her husband, Don, own The Acreage in Hubbell with Vostrez taking over the business about five years ago and Don coming on board following their marriage in June. Before coming to The Acreage, Vostrez owned TJ’s Place in Carleton. The Acreage opened up and Vostrez made her move to delve deeper into the restaurant business. “That’s my forte,” she said. It’s her education as well – Vostrez com- pleted dietetic technology and food service management in Hastings. The couple also operate a licensed catering business for private parties, including weddings and anniver- saries. Licensing, Vostrez said, is key to demonstrating food safety and proper temperatures for serving. She said they have a large holiday party coming up at the Blue Valley Lutheran Homes in Hebron. Vostrez said she wants to expand the catering side of her business. When asked about Acreage spe- cials, Vostrez said everything is because the noon specials are always made from scratch. The chicken fried steak is hand-breaded and the meats tenderized as Don hand-cuts steaks. The Acreage serves daily specials. “It’s just nice to have a steakhouse in the area. We do real well. We’re open every holiday and have a big holiday buffet,” Vostrez said. “We’re about the only place open on Christ- mas and Thanksgiving.” The restaurant is open Monday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 1 a.m.; Sunday evening from 5 to 10 p.m.; and every second and fourth Sunday of the month from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a buffet treat. They rang in 2016 with a steak and seafood buffet on New Year’s Eve. Vostrez said they do feature shrimp, salmon and walleye. A big part of running a successful restaurant is being well-rounded, meaning a solid staff on the floor, behind the bar and in the kitchen. They can always use wait staff, Vostrez said. The Acreage sits 80 diners comfortably on the south side of the building and its full capacity is 250. In addition to inside seating, there is an outdoor beer garden and patio. “The biggest thing is people that come here can’t believe this type of business is in such a small commu- nity,” Vostrez said. She said she’ll be there until retire- ment, but for now, Vostrez plans to “just keep going.” Tammy and Don Vostrez stand in one of the two dining rooms at The Acreage in Hubbell. The restaurant seats up to 250 diners. Williams, Robert E., 61, Hebron Kolling, Carol L., 63, Deshler Burns Carl L., 54, Bokchito, Okla.

This Week 1986…Thayer County attorney Dan Werner answers questions from newsmen as cameras whirr in the basement of the Thayer County Law Enforcement Center. Werner released a new artist’s sketch of the dead boy found near Chester last month and is asking the public for assistance in determining the identity of the youth. (Little Boy Blue)
1886130 Years AgoThe days are growing
longer. Good ear corn is reported at
18 cents per bushel. Large numbers of brick will
be needed here in the spring. It is reported that O. H. Scott
is an applicant for the Hebron postmastership.
Postmaster Fitchpatrick is preparing to put in combina-tion lock boxes in the post offi ce.
Among the topics of local interest, the questions of water works and protection against fi re are receiving considerable attention.
Elsewhere will be seen the report of County Treasurer H. C. Bigelow. It not only exhibits a gratifying condition of the county fi nances, but shows how extensive the money transactions of the county are becoming. The total cash on hand is $29,378.69.
James P. Gates, whose unaccountable disappearance from his home was mentioned last week, still remains away and his family feels much anxiety.
A German Catholic school was opened in the Catholic Church of Hebron, Monday, Jan. 4, under the direction of Rev. L. P. Fleury. The fore-noon is devoted to study from German text books and the afternoon to English. About 20 pupils are enrolled.
The masquerade at the skating rink last Friday night was a pleasant and successful social event. The scene while the maskers were skating was a unique commingling of the glittering and grotesque, the gay and grave and the brilliant, odd and ludicrous. Several of the costumes were very pretty and a number quite striking. The prize was awarded to Johnny Steward, who wore an ingeniously constructed costume entirely composed of paper and labeled “The Hebron Journal.” The prize in the ring contest was awarded to Mrs. Jessie Wetherald,, who secured 11 rings.
1896120 Years Ago Deputy Sheriff Green
traveled 150 miles this week serving summons on Thayer County bondsmen of the defunct Blue Valley Bank to appear in the suit to be brought by Thayer County.
One-hundred and thirty marriage licenses were issued by Judge McKee in 1894. In 1895, 96 only were issued; 1896 will probably prove a more prosperous year again.
J. H. Enslow of Alexandria has been appointed to fi ll the position of deputy sheriff. Mr. Enslow is an old resident of the county as well as an old soldier, and will fi ll the position with property dignity and ability.
The weather has been balmy this week, much to the disgust of the skaters and ice packers.
H. D. Breene, after having been feasted, feted and fat-tened by his numerous cordial friends during his sojourn in Hebron, departed Monday for Iowa City, to resume his position with the Rock Island Company at that place.
Hubbell: L. P. Luce has opened a feed store in the John-son building, at the northwest corner of Johnson Avenue and Ohio Street...Schuyler Gra-ham, living seven miles north of town, will move his family to Fairbury tomorrow. Mr. Graham has become tired of farming and will try barbering for a change, having bought a shop in Fairbury.
Alexandria: Frank Walls yesterday wandered over his alfalfa fi eld and came to town this morning and reported. He says his fortune is surely made, if only we get a soaking rain...Dr. G. A. Birdsall received as a New Year’s present the ap-pointment as assistant surgeon of the St. Joseph and Grand Island Railroad.
Davenport: A family of emigrants are stopping east of town waiting for the weather to moderate. They left their home in Oregon the 24th of June and have been traveling since that time and as soon as the weather permits, they will resume their journey, their destiny being Kansas City.
Carleton: Ed Ogden, who has been absent for the past three months, returned to Thayer County last week and we presume is glad to get home. He has been near
Preston and Rulo husking corn. He also made a fl ying trip to Iowa to see his little boy, who is living with this grandma.
Belvedere Blossoms: Skat-ing is the rage now and unless you are the possessor of a pair of skates, “you are not in it.”
1906110 Years Ago Jas. Pittnam, who was a
caller at the Journal offi ce, registered a complaint that the farms in his neighborhood are changing hands so frequently that he cannot keep track of the transfers. True, real estate is on the boom in Thayer county.
H. L. Weimer of Carleton was transacting business at the county sea and made a pleas-ant call at this offi ce to renew his subscription. Mr. Weimer recently bought the hardware business at Carleton and is building up a large trade from the fi ne country surrounding that village.
(The Alexandria Argus)Frank Joe is moving on the
farm that he purchased of R. G. Manners. Mr. Manners will move to town.
One of the most delightful social events of the season was a party given by the A.B.C. club in the AOUW hall last Friday evening. About 60 guests were present. The hall was tastefully deco-rated and arranged. Punch was served throughout the evening by little Miss Lois Averill. Shadow pictures of 20 of the guests were tacked upon the wall and all were required to guess the originals. Clarence Kremer then entertained the guests by performing a number of magic tricks. After refreshments, a short musical program was rendered, after which the guests departed, having enjoyed a most pleas-ant evening. The A.B.C. club was organized a short time ago, and consists of the fol-lowing young ladies: Misses Belle McDowell, Zoa Green, Effa and May Willard, Lora Allen, Berenice, Hazel and Blanch Hubbard.

The county agent drove 1,100 miles in the county in December making farm visits and on business.
Pearl Lapcheska and Nervil Elward sprung a surprise on their friends last Saturday when they went to Hebron and were married by County Judge P. I. Harrison.
1926 Buick: L. W. Peterson of Osceola drove a Buick 1926 Model coach to Bruning and on account of bad roads, ,has had the car in the local garage.

T.J.W. Bruning immediately set out in quest of the traveler and upon going south learned that Peterson had changed his plans and was returning to Osceola. He caught up with him a short distance north of town and together they returned to Bruning.
Peterson tells a straight forward story and exhibited the necessary bill of sale and insurance papers. He told the local offi cers that he purchased the car two days before Christ-mas from the dealer in Omaha and feels sure there has been a mistake in reporting numbers by the Omaha authorities.

Foundation and Guild annual membership drive
The New Year is a great time to refl ect on past accomplish-ments and look toward the future. It can also be an im-portant time to remember what is important in our lives and realize what really matters.
At Thayer County Health Services (TCHS), it is a time to stop and thank those who support TCHS in its mission to provide high quality com-passionate healthcare to the residences of Thayer County and the surrounding com-munities.
In Thayer County, we are lucky to have individuals, businesses and organizations that generously support our local hospital and clinics.
Two organizations, whose sole mission is to support local healthcare, are the Foundation for Thayer County Health Ser-vices and the TCHS Hospital Guild.
These two organizations are made up of strong volunteers that work hard throughout the year to provide fi nancial support to the hospital and clinics. The members for both organizations use their time and talents to help raise awareness and support.
These two organizations have become a strong fi nancial resource for TCHS. They hold fundraising events, secure donations, estate gifts and grants.
In 2015, the Foundation kicked off a capital campaign with a goal of $1,000,000 to help fund Phase II of the hos-pital renovation and expansion project. To date the foundation has raised over $800,000 in gifts and pledges toward their goal. The campaign hopes to raise the remaining funds before work starts on Phase II in the fall of 2016.
Phase II of the project is the new kitchen and cafeteria that will be built in the space vacated by the Rehab depart-ment. The current Rehab department will move into the new Glenn Korff Rehab and Wellness Center currently being built on the north side of the hospital’s lower level.
The Foundation and Guild are in the midst of their 2016 annual membership drive. The
proceeds from the Founda-tion’s membership drive will go toward the ongoing capital campaign for the new hospital kitchen/cafeteria. This area of the hospital is original to when the hospital was built in 1967 and needs to be updated to meet state and federal codes.
The Guild’s membership dues will be used to purchase new medical equipment for the hospital and clinics. Through their Things and Stuff shop in downtown Hebron and their other fundraising activities, the Guild is able to provide annually between $30,000 and $50,000 in new medical equipment for TCHS. With the Guild’s continued support, Thayer County Health Ser-vices will continue to have the latest medical equipment.
With the support from these two organizations, TCHS is able to provide patients with high quality healthcare. This latest building project will help improve the care provided and add new services so patients won’t have to travel as far for their care.
Your membership and sup-port for these two organi-zations means so much to patients and the staff at Thayer County Health Services. If you would like more infor-mation on how to become a member or to give a gift of sup-port toward the foundation’s capital campaign, contact Rita Luongo at 402-768-4636.
*Reminder: The Founda-tion for TCHS will hold its annual meeting on January 31, at 6:00 p.m., at the Hebron Activity Center, 329 Lincoln Avenue in Hebron.
The TCHS Hospital Guild will have their general mem-bership meeting on January 27 at noon in the Belvidere Community Center.
The public is welcome to attend these meetings. You can RSVP to attend by calling 402-768-4636 or sending an email to [email protected].

He-Hi/Thayer Central alumni plans meetings and 2016 banquet
The He-Hi/Thayer Central Alumni committee met for its 2016 organizational meet-ing.
Elected offi cers are: Presi-dent/Treasurer: Yvonne Wiedel Long; Vice President: Susie Timmerman Wiedel; Secretary: Cathy Wiedel.
The alumni meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month in the Library basement at 7:30 p.m. We are looking for new members who can give an hour a month to at-tend meetings. We really could use more input to make the alumni banquet and reunion a success.
The 2016 Alumni Banquet will be held Saturday, May 28, 2016, at the Stastny Commu-nity Center. Happy hour and
socializing will begin at 5 p.m., with dinner to follow. We are hoping to have a DJ to provide music and a dance after the banquet. Cost of the banquet ticket will include admission to the dance. Dance only admission can be purchased ahead of time.
The banquet and dance will be open to all Hebron alumni and a guest. The committee appreciates all the business sponsors who have purchased ads for the alumni newsletter in the past.
It is the hope of the com-mittee that more alumni will attend the banquet and activi-ties than in years past.
For more information, please contact Yvonne Wiedel Long at 402-768-2105.

Donate Blood Jan. 8 in Hebron
This January, during Na-tional Blood Donor Month, the American Red Cross encour-ages people to roll up their sleeves to give blood to help maintain a suffi cient blood supply for patients.
Since 1970, National Blood Donor Month has been ob-served in January to not only honor blood and platelet donors, but also to help in-crease donations during the winter months. Maintaining a suffi cient blood supply for patients is diffi cult at this time of year because extreme winter weather and seasonal illnesses often impact donor turnout.
Karla Essmiller became a blood donor in college, but the importance of giving blood hit home when several family members had medical emergencies. “It only takes once sitting in a hospital, praying that your loved one will live through the day, to know how thankful you are for every single thing done to help them,” she said. “Donat-
ing blood is a simple gift that I can make that may help up to three people live another day. That makes me feel like a hero.”
The Red Cross encourages eligible donors to resolve to give blood regularly, begin-ning in January. Donors with all blood types are needed, especially those with types AB, O, B negative and A nega-tive. To encourage donations, all those who come to donate Jan. 1-3, 2016, will get a long-sleeve Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last.
Thayer County residents will have the opportunity to donate blood on January 8, Noon to 6 p.m., at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 436 W. 3rd Street, Hebron.
To make an appointment to donate blood, download the free Red Cross Blood Donor App from app stores, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Bruning-Davenport
Unifi ed School
SSportsportsEagles play full week on hardwood
The Bruning Davenport Shickley Eagles had a full week of basketball, first competing in the Wesleyan Holiday Tournament and then facing a quick David City Aquinas team.
“We definitely had our hands full,” Head Coach Fred Kluck said.
Indeed, the Eagles slid be-hind the Monarchs 21-18 at halftime because David City scored in the fi nal 20 seconds of the second quarter.
Kluck said the team wasn’t executing, which they dis-cussed during the halftime break.
Both teams heated up in the second half, however, David City still led 41-37 going into the fourth quarter.
But the Eagles pulled away, sinking 14 points to David City’s four for a six-point, 51-45 victory over the Mon-archs.
Timely scoring and solid free throws through a bal-anced team effort resulted in the win.
“The balanced team effort was defi nitely the reason for the victory as no Eagle hit double fi gures,” Kluck said.
Riley Tegtmeier scored nine points, grabbed 10 rebounds and had three assists. He was followed by Kale Klein-schmidt and Ben Elznic with eight points each.
Kleinschmidt had six re-bounds and four assists.
Elznic went 6-8 from the line and Kendall Dickson was 3-4.
Additional scoring came from Cody Garland with seven points; Stuart Rohr, six; Sam Christensen, fi ve; and Caden
Norder, fi ve. Norder also hit a three-point basket at the end of the third quarter.
In the Wesleyan tourna-ment, BDS took on Class C1 Tekamah-Herman, C1 Douglas County West and D2 Humphrey St. Francis, a team rated No. 1.
The Eagles were slow on defense to start the tourna-ment, but fi nished 70-51 as Tegtmeier scored 19 for the game; Garland, 15; and Chris-tensen, 12.
“Sam has really picked up his game on the offensive end this year,” Kluck said. “He’s always been a solid defender, but he’s become a threat from the three-point line and shoots excellent free throws.”
Noel Gines contributed seven points; Elznic, six; Norder, fi ve; Kleinschmidt, four; and Dickson, two.
Although the Eagles were at a disadvantage in size against Douglas County West, they did come away with the 42-39 win.
It didn’t come without a struggle, however.
First, Douglas County had an aggressive scorer who inched along the perimeter.
“We had to really help out to get him stopped. Along with that, they had some quickness and shooting range, which provided a real challenge as well,” Kluck said.
That challenge led to a tie of 37-37 at the end of the fourth quarter, forcing overtime.
In the last few seconds of overtime, Tegtmeier drove and found senior wingman Garland open on the left side for a three-point basket at the buzzer.
The win sent BDS into the championship game.
“It was a huge pass, huge shot and overall, a really big, defensive team effort,” Kluck said.
Tegtmeier scored 13 points on the game and Garland, 12. Christensen had nine points for the game and Klein-schmidt, four. Elznic had four points as well.
As Humphrey St. Francis played solid defense and quick offense, BDS fell 12-0 in the fi rst half.
“I don’t know if we were just tired or intimidated or both, but I really thought we did a nice job of getting our heads straight to get back in it,” Kluck said.
In the third quarter, the Eagles were ahead 27-25, but in the fourth, Humphrey St. Francis hit a couple of key shots to take the lead. They then capitalized on free throw shots to win the game, 49-43.
“All in all, this loss and these three tournament games will probably help us,” Kluck commented. “It really gave us a chance to see some dif-ferent styles of offense and defense, and should help us prepare for the tournaments coming up.”
Christensen was the lead scorer with 13 points. Garland chipped in nine and Tegtmeier had eight. Elznic came away with six points on the boards, Kleinschmidt had four and Rohr, two.
The Eagles will be in action as Giltner visits Davenport Jan. 8. The Mudecas confer-ence tournament begins Jan. 12 for the boys.
Lady Eagles go 2-3 on week The Bruning Davenport
Shickley Lady Eagles won their fi rst game in the Wesley-an Holiday tournament, 46-44, but dropped their second game in the tournament to Friend, 52-40, and came away with a 47-36 win against David City Aquinas.
Aquinas traveled to Bruning for the game, and took advan-tage of a sluggish Eagle team in the fi rst quarter, scoring 16 points to the Eagles’ 10.
The Eagles bounced back in the second quarter and held Aquinas to six points while they scored 14 points for a two-point lead going into halftime.
Defensive pressure from BDS handed Aquinas a trou-bled second half.
“We were able to sustain the defensive pressure needed to win games and that is great to see,” Head Coach Shana Gerberding said.
The Eagles outscored the Monarchs 23-14 in the sec-ond half to win the game and set their 8-1 record on the season.
Scoring in the double digits was Megan Grote with 12 points. Carley Elznic followed with nine points; Brice Ardis-sono had seven on the game; Catherine Mick and McKenna Schardt, six points each; and Lexi Kadel, fi ve.
In the holiday tournament, Gerberding said the first quarter with Tekamah Her-man was played evenly by both teams.
The Eagles lagged two points behind Tekamah Her-man after the fi rst quarter, but stepped it up for the second quarter, scoring 20 points while holding their opponents to 11.
Ardissono made eight points during the second quarter.
“Brice hit some key buckets for us,” Gerberding said.
Blasting through foul trou-ble and turnovers, the Eagles were 9-12 from the line.
“Hitting those free throws were huge and allowed us to come out with the win,” Gerberding said. “I was re-ally happy with how the girls played with foul trouble. Our players coming off the bench played key roles in this win.”
Ardissono made a total of 10 points; Grote, nine; Mick, eight; Kadel, seven; Schardt, six; and Elznic, fi ve.
Friend was BDS’s next adversary and didn’t start out like the Eagles had hoped. Friend made 17 points in the fi rst quarter.
The Eagles increased de-fensive efforts in the second quarter and held the Bulldogs
to 13 points, but couldn’t stop Friend from a 13-point lead at halftime.
During the second half, the Eagles cut the lead to just three points, but down the stretch, Friend hit key shots, including free throws and held their lead.
The Lady Eagles will take on Sutton and Giltner, Jan. 7 and 8, respectively.

VILLAGE OF CHESTERCHESTER, NEBRASKA
DECEMBER 9, 2015The Board of Trustees of the
Village of Chester, Thayer County Nebraska, met at 7:30 p.m. at the Village Hall on December 9, 2015, for their regular monthly meeting. Board members present were: Chairman: Carbonneau and Trustees: Wassom, Pachta, Porter and Roop.
Chairman Carbonneau called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. The minutes of the previous meeting were reviewed. Wassom moved and Pachta seconded a motion to approve the minutes of the November meeting. Roll call votes: Ayes: Wassom, Pachta, Porter, Roop and Carbonneau. Nays: None. Motion carried.
The Treasurer’s report was then given. Roop moved and Wassom seconded a motion to approve the treasurer’s report. Roll call votes: Ayes: Wassom, Pachta, Porter, Roop and Carbonneau. Nays: None. Motion carried.
A discussion was held about the possibility that Viaero is looking to put in a cell tower east of town.
Bart Brinkman, of Walter Insur-ance, was present to discuss the village’s insurance with the Board. The Board thought the electrical system was insured. During a recent hailstorm, $2600.00 dam-age was done to meters and street lights but it was not covered. Mr. Brinkman found that the electrical system of the Village is not cov-ered. He will see how much it will cost to insure the system.
At the November meeting, several people had signed a com-plaint about the Eugene & Pam Bergman property pertaining to several nuisances maintained on the property. Nuisances, included junk vehicles, trailers with junk, vehicles being salvaged, pallets, tree limbs, unsightly fence made of tin & old lumber, trash, junk bicycles, tires, old wood, furniture, unfinished building, deck among other things. Mr. Bergman wanted to know what he needed to do to make this right and if the fence was working okay.
Adam & Tom Tipton, also pres-ent at the meeting, voiced their opinion on how bad the fence and the whole place looked in general. Mr. Bergman stated that nobody has a vision on what a disabled person goes through and, unlike other yards, his yard has style. Trustee Porter said that it has nothing to do with disability. It has to do with the collection of stuff in his yard and that it needs to be gotten rid of. Carbonneau
stated that it looks like a salvage yard and is also being ran that way, and the Board will be forced to enforce the nuisance ordinance because we’ve had several official complaints against the property. He also stated that, hopefully we can work together on this mat-ter. Porter stated, and the Board agreed, that Mr. Bergman needs to remedy this situation within the next thirty days.
A new contract with Nebraska Public Power District was re-viewed. Porter moved and Was-som seconded a motion to approve the twenty year contract with Ne-braska Public Power District. Roll call votes: Ayes: Wassom, Pachta, Porter, Roop and Carbonneau. Nays: None. Motion carried.
A discussion was held about the current sewer rates. With the upcoming sewer repairs, the Board decided to raise the sewer rates by fifteen dollars per month to offset the cost of the repairs. Wassom introduced, and read the same aloud, Ordinance No. 2015-4, AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A FLAT RATE SEWER USAGE CHARGE FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL CUSTOM-ERS USING THE SANITARY SEWAGE SYSTEM IN THE VIL-LAGE OF CHESTER, NE. For the use of said sanitary sewage system, each residential and com-mercial user shall be charged a flat rate of $25.00 per month . Pachta moved for adoption of Ordinance No. 2015-4. Wassom seconded the motion. Roll call votes: Ayes: Wassom, Pachta, Porter, Roop and Carbonneau. Nays: None. Mo-tion carried. Pachta moved that the rules requiring reading Ordinance No. 1015-4 by title on three differ-ent days be suspended. Wassom seconded the motion. Roll call votes: Ayes: Wassom, Pachta, Porter, Roop and Carbonneau. Nays: None. Motion carried. The Chairman in the presence of the Village Board of Trustees, signed and approved said Ordinance and the Village Clerk attested its pas-sage and approval and affixed her signature and the seal of the Vil-lage thereto. The Ordinances will be posted at the Western National Bank, Post Office and Village Hall for public viewing.
Pachta moved and Wassom seconded a motion to approve a building permit of Karry Staley for two buildings. Roll call votes: Ayes: Wassom, Pachta, Porter, Roop and Carbonneau. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Porter moved and Pachta seconded a motion to approve the building permit of Bill Riggs for storage containers. Roll call votes: Ayes: Wassom, Pachta, Porter, Roop and Carbonneau. Nays: None. Motion carried.
The Board decided not to apply for a drinking water state revolving fund grant at this time.
The Board decided to again put the recycling trailer up for bids.
For reorganization purposes, the meeting was then turned over to the Clerk who asked for nomina-tions for Chairman of the Board. Roop nominated Carbonneau for Chairman of the Board and to cease nominations. Porter sec-onded the motion. Roll call votes: Ayes: Wassom, Pachta, Porter and Roop. Abstain: Carbonneau. Nays: None. Motion carried. Chair-man Carbonneau again presided over the meeting.
Wassom moved and Pachta seconded a motion to retain JEO Consulting Group as our engineers, “We appoint Thomas L. Krueger from JEO Consulting Group, Inc. as our Street Superin-tendent”, retain Western National Bank as our official depository, retain Hebron Journal Register as our official newspaper, retain Village Attorney, Joseph Mur-ray/Germer, Murray and Johnson, retain Blobaum & Busboom as village auditors and to leave the committees the same.
