of drug related crimes in the area, Van Asperen believes that the area will see an increase in prescription drug related crimes. She went on to say that

By Timothy LinscottJefferson County Commission-

er Mark Schoenrock reiterated to the Fairbury Journal-News late last week that the sole rea-son for the county withholding funds from the Jefferson Coun-ty Historical Society is due to the fact that an organized plan for the funds provided by the commissioners has not been presented.“We want to see a good plan

from JCHS with using taxpayer money,” Schoenrock said of why funds are being withheld. He said there are a number

of differing views on what to do with the funds, however, Schoenrock said he feels the plan for using those funds are not well organized at the mo-

ment and plan needs to be reviewed by the county before moving forward with giving out funds for projects to JCHS.“To extend those funds, at

this moment, is not in the best interest of taxpayer funds,” Schoenrock said. “A simple plan, pretty straightforward, is what we are looking for and we’ll review that plan and act accordingly.”Schoenrock noted he is a life-

long member of JCHS and all of the commissioners want JCHS to succeed.“We’re all invested in this and

we want to make things hap-pen, beginning with a plan,”

New Events Added To Relay For Life

Eight teams participated in the 13th annual Relay For Life in Fairbury on Saturday night. As of Saturday night, $15,400

was raised, but organizers noted it did not include the basket and silent auction totals as of press time.Organizers noted that the same

number of teams participated as in recent years, however, funds raised were significantly down.A new item added to this year’s

event was a parade that went around the downtown square. The local and rural fire depart-ments had trucks on display and participated in the parade, which was led by the Fairbury

color guard and the sheriff’s department.Two parade floats including

cancer survivors were the main attraction of the parade.“I feel survivors appreciated the

float as it was much easier on some to not have to walk in the heat,” Krystal Schroeder, leader of the local Relay For Life, said. “The new luminaria ceremony was also very well received. The interaction of survivors, caregiv-ers and volunteers who made The “Sands of hope” that was also illuminated by glowsticks, left an impact and was very moving.”

Paying It ForwardLocal Fire Fighters Have Act Of Kindness For Fallen OfficerBy Nathan HeuerSix members of the Fairbury

City and Rural Fire Depart-ments made their way to Con-cordia, Kansas this past Friday to help honor the passing of former Concordia Senior Police Officer Marc Henry.Fairbury City Fire Chief Steve

Zimmerman, assistant fire chief Gary Alsman, captain Todd Stewart, and Fairbury Rural Fire Chief Kenny Krause, as-sistant fire chief Judd Stewart, and captain Luke Bennett left for Concordia at 7 a.m. on Fri-day to fulfill the duties of Con-cordia Fire Department for the day while they attended Henry’s funeral.“We basically, we flew the flag

for him and then covered their station for fires and accidents. We left at 7 a.m. on Friday and we were back by about 4 p.m,” Zimmerman said. “Just a cour-

tesy thing we’ve had with area departments. Flying that flag we feel, it was donated by a fire fighters widow in his memory and we feel it’s appropriate whenever there is a fire fighter involved or law enforcement we feel appropriate to fly the flag for them. This was a joint ven-ture basically between the six of us that went.”

The gesture was a returned favor as the Concordia Fire De-partment, including Concordia Fire Chief Eric Voss, showed the same act of kindness for the Fairbury fire departments in 2013 and 2014. Voss, who served with the fire department in Fairbury for seven plus years before heading to Concordia, returned to Fairbury with his

City Council InjectsSales Tax Money For Pool

By Minette TomaschThe Fairbury City Council

passed a motion with a major-ity vote (council member Brad Kuzelka voting ‘no’) to take $300,000 from the half cent sales tax for the second issu-ance of the swimming pool and other park improvements. The second issuance was set for $2,075,000. City administrator, Collin

Bielser, advised the council that they could interject the sum of $300,000 from the half cent

sales tax to lower from the 4.2 million to an estimated $3.9 million. Kuzelka voiced his continued

disapproval of the bond word-ing interpretation that resulted in the other park improvements for City Park. The money being interjected had a specific use for only road improvements. Other council members concurred that the ‘other park improvements’

Schoenrock said.According to Steve Block, President of

JCHS, a plan is being developed, but get-ting bids to complete the plan is what is taking so long.“The plan is no good without prices,”

Block said. “We are working on getting some bids on projects so they (the com-missioners) have an idea on how much these projects are going to cost. We can tell them what we want to do and what needs to be done, but without a dollar amount on what it will cost, it doesn’t give them an idea, or give us really an idea, so we are in the workings of it.”Block hopes to have bids in for projects

by the next JCHS meeting, which is slated for July 2, and finish putting the plan together at the meeting for review by the commissioners.“We have had some people come look at

things and we are waiting for their bid or we are waiting for people to come look at a few things,” Block explained. Block said his top priority right now

is fixing the large, round window of the Baptist Church in Steele City. Working on other projects at the church and differ-ent buildings in Steele City are also high priorities for Block at the moment.“We want to get that taken care of right

away, but finding people to do specialty work is not easy,” Block noted. “Finding people that can do that work is difficult, but I have a few names of companies in Lincoln and one in Beatrice I am calling, so that is where we are at, is trying to find that specialty work.”Block has already procured bids for the

roof of the church already and is set to implement those into the plan.“We want to get everything put together,

I am looking to get a few other bids on some projects and I am hoping to get this plan put together and present it to the commissioners after July 2,” Block said.Block explained that if anyone is inter-

ested in putting in a bid, call him at (402) 613-1299.“We will take as many bids as we can

get, but sometimes it is hard to just get one or two bids,” Block said.

The Fairbury Elks Lodge held a special ceremony on the evening of Thursday, June 14. Members of the lodge went through the history of the nation’s flag. From the defiant “Don’t Tread on Me” to the sombering “POW” flag, the ceremony concluded with the singing of “God Bless America” and a message to remember the significance of the nation’s flag and all it stands for.

God Is EternalThe Word, in John

1 is, among other things, is Life & Light. This next passage builds on that, a message of light. Let me explain. God is eternal – ex-isted for all eternity. Somewhere in that eternity, He chose to create the universe. At that point God cre-ated time and space. He spoke light into existenceGenesis 13 Then God said,

“Let there be light”; and there was light.God communicates

with His creation, He is the Word. It is a characteristic of light – to be seen, obvi-ously. God’s desire is that His creation knows Him; knows that He is the creator, and that He is light. He wants to be seen. That is the meaning of glory. He desires that we read the Word & come to know and love Him in return. It is a message sent. There are three

things to learn from such a message. They are important for us to understand. The Three Lessons from a Message of Light. We need to know these because we are involved in that mes-sage. And I will show you why.We could also call it

The Three Principles of Evangelism; very, very basic principles we all need to know. 1. Requires a Mes-

sengerThere is more about

John later. Here it is enough for this one point: there is a mes-sage & there must, therefore, be a mes-senger (There came a man sent from God….).He is just a man –

He is not the light. He is special – he is used of God – sent by God; but still a man. The Light he proclaims is far more than just a man. This is some-thing that must be proclaimed – testify/reveal the light. The entire book of

John is built around this premise – tell people / testimony. You might think that is the preacher’s job. Or you might think that is Billy Graham’s job, or now Frank-lin’s, an evangelist. It is neither. It is your job. The preacher equips you. You can

reach people I have never even heard of; family and friends that only you have contact with. Matthew Henry

writes this, “Christ’s light needs not man’s testimony, but the world’s darkness does. John was like the night watchman that goes round the town, proclaiming the approach of the morning light to those that have closed their eyes.”2. It is UniversalJohn 1:9, There

was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.Here again because

of Who He is – He enlightens EVERY-ONE. John could shed light on only the environs of Jeru-salem & Judea. This Light is universal and turns the lights on all/everywhere. There is good and there is evil. There is light and darkness. Everyone, everywhere instinc-tively knows there is a God.Sin – people today

do not want to hear about sin – old fash-ioned. But the Bible is clear, everybody sins. Everyone needs the Light and forgive-ness and they know they need it. The biggest problem is for the churched. They think they already have it, and some do. Many do not but

they will defend the dignity of man and his inherent good-ness, rather than his inherent need. They will speak of a

spark of deity in all humanity, even MS 13, while argue for the killing of unborn babies.Everybody needs a

savior. Because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and the penalty of sin is death. This leads naturally

to #33. Demands a Re-

sponseThere are two re-

sponses only. Every-one falls into one or the other, like the sheep and Goats of Matthew 25: 32 “All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one anoth-er, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; 33 and He will put the

sheep on His right, and the goats on the left. Those on the right inherit eternal life; those on the left eternal fire.Two response & only

two First response:

Rejection: John 1:10-11, 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. Even those who claim to know God will reject Him like the Jews. He is not their kind of savior. They will defend to

the death a solution that does not solve the problem. I see this apparent,

in a small way, in the march against guns, (consequently against NRA, against Trump, against Republicans). But not against sin, or broken homes, or drugs, or sex. Which amounts to

anything except the truth. (“The world didn’t know Him”, even “His own didn’t receive Him”.) These people claimed to be a people of God – God’s chosen. They knew the He-

brew Bible forward and backward. So I plead here with

those who claim to be a believer because they are a member of a church – were baptized as an infant. They think, therefore, they are a Christian because they are a Lutheran or a Catho-lic or an Episcopa-lian.I, myself, am a

perfect example. I was baptized. I was confirmed at the age of twelve – top in my class in the Episcopal Church. But I didn’t know Jesus Christ – I did not know I was a sinner in need of a savior. “I am an Episcopalian, isn’t that a Christian”? Not necessarily Lessons of a Mes-

sage of Light1. Requires a mes-

senger2. Is Universal – Ap-

plies to Everyone3. Demands a Re-

sponseAnd that response

may be negative – we need to know we may get rejected. But that is not because of us, it is part of the les-

son of a message of light. You may be think-ing, “Not for me – I am no evange-list, I’m no debater – I’m not a theologian, I don’t know enough”. Nonsense – you know what has happened to you if you have been born again. But there is a sec-

ond responseSecond Response:

John 1:12-13: 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. Acceptance is faith – born again; born of God. This message is not from us – it is from of God. Whether or not they

believe is not up to us. We are the mes-senger – the message is universal, for all – True Light. We don’t dictate the response. It is the response that usually scares us off. Rejection is hard – but it is part of the lesson of a message of light. Simple faith; to

those who believe in His Name. And there is no other name. Acts 4:1212 “And there is sal-

vation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.” Our responsibility:

be there – be ready when they give up and quit trying to save themselves. We have the message of Light - Jesus SavesThe Three Lessons

of a Message of Light1. Requires a Mes-

senger That’s you2. It is Universal

A The Fairbury Journal-News Views Wednesday, June 20, 2018

The parks plan developed two years ago estimated the storm sewer improvements in City Park to cost $625,400, according to city administrator Collin Bielser. Biels-er recently said in a video that around $700,000 would be used for storm sewer improvements in the park. When asked about it, he noted the estimate two years ago was $625,400, but when asked how much of the $5 million would be used he replied, ‘actual cost of storm sewer im-provements cannot be determined until the project is let out for bid.’Assuming $3.5 million for the pool and

another $700,000 for storm sewer, that’s $4.2 of $5 million.The city council could save that

$700,000 to be spent on curb and gutter in the park and save the taxpayers mon-ey. The city council could scale back on slides, astroturf and other amenities and get the pool down to $3 million, instead of $3.5 million and save taxpayers money.The original plan called for one large

slide but if bids were favorable, a second large slide would be added and, accord-ing to Bielser, the council approved con-struction of the pool with the second large slide. There will be four slides in all, two large,

a family slide and a smaller slide for young children.With families on a fixed income, I’d save

the money. With a potential water project coming to fix the Crystal Springs line, I feel the city needs to save money. If we are merging fire departments and

possibly merging the police with the sher-iff as a means of saving money and be more efficient, then why spend more on a project that came in under budget?

Editor: I have heard statements from people that

the restaurants are not open in downtown Fairbury on Sunday.One restaurant does not open until 5:00

on Saturday evening. It would be nice if this restaurant would open at 5:00 on Sunday until 9:00 p.m. Other restaurants should do the same thing. This would help visitors who come to visit

family members and tourist attractions that Fairbury has to offer. If the owners don’t want to open their res-

taurants the only solution to this problem is having a truck stop cafe open 24 hours. A good location would be across from Mc-Donalds on K Street. This would be a good location because it has two motels in the area. The truck stop would have a shop area where people could buy stuff and truckers could park their big rigs and stay at either motel of their choice. The Fourth of July is coming up and the

eating places should go about it the same way. Think about this: My idea would be fun and more enjoyable for visitors to come to Fairbury. I think this should be men-tioned to the planning committee, Chamber

of Commerce and City Council. These committees should talk about my

idea among themselves and action should be taken.I also want the restaurant open north of

the post office and the bowling alley open also. This would take a person that has res-taurant experience and knows how to run a bowling alley. Has some mechanical experi-ence. Fred Fredrick, Fairbury

The article in the June 6, 2018 edition of the Fairbury Journal-News concerning the Jefferson County Historical Society didn’t get the whole picture since the reporter failed to contact the Board of the JCHS to get the other side of the situation. A lot of the misinformation was corrected

in a follow-up article in the June 13 edition. However, there is one point raised by the critics of JCHS that still needs to be clari-fied. In the June 6th article Tammy Katz was

quoted to the effect that the replacement of the floor in the gift shop was a project that could have waited. I have been involved with the Rock Island Depot Museum for 20 years and come to Fairbury frequently. The floor in the gift shop used to consist of old tiles, many of which had been broken and some of which were missing entirely. This left an uneven surface which could have resulted in a trip or fall for the women who man the gift shop or museum visitors. The last thing JCHS wants is for someone to be injured while visiting the Rock Island Depot Mu-seum.The new floor was put down by Tom Rem-

menga, a volunteer who has done count-less hours of volunteer service for buildings owned by JCHS. The labor was free and the cost of the new flooring came from funds at Waddell-Reed which were given to JCHS for use only at the depot. Katz characterized the building as a “non-

critical building.” The reality is that the depot, along with other JCHS buildings, has had little or no maintenance done during the reign of the former JCHS curator. The depot needs work just like the other build-ings. Katz criticizes money spent on the depot which she feels is done at the expense of repairs to other buildings. She has been repeatedly told that the money from the bequest from the Walt Hanners Estate can only be spent at the depot and that money will be used at the depot. She just doesn’t get that. Rather than criticizing Tom Rem-menga’s work, she should thank him for all his volunteer efforts.Very truly yours, Richard L. Schmeling, Lincoln

Pastor Schmidt of Grace Luther Church Retires

After serving both God and the Fair-bury community for over 30 years, Pas-tor Charles Schmidt of Grace Lutheran Church has retired. His wife, Brenda, who has served Grace Lutheran as Parish educator since 1999, has also retired.Originally from

rural Elgin, Schmidt came to Fairbury in 1987. Prior to that, he was the director of Christian educa-tion for five years for Emmanuel at Alliance and then served a rural con-gregation as a Pastor at Zion St. John at Wisner.“So really, three

congregations is all I’ve served,” Schmidt said.The bulk of his

career has been here is Fairbury and has been an important fixture in the com-munity. According to Mrs. Schmidt, “In 30 years, he’s officiated over 300 funerals.”In addition, a new

educator has been hired to take over Mrs. Schmidts’ role. “Education is re-ally our baby,” Mrs. Schmidt said. The church has

already selected what is called an “Intentional Interim” pastor, Glenn Meyer,

who will serve for 12 to 18 months while the search for a permanent pastor continues.Among Schmidt’s

most heartfelt mem-ories is one recent Sunday morning in October, when the congregation pre-pared a celebration for his 30th an-niversary and even took over one of the Church services for him.The Schmidts are

pleased that their legacy of work for the community will continue. “We have a pretty vibrant jail ministry,” Schmidt said. “The hospital has always been really helpful and appreciative of what you do when you come in an emer-gency, when you stand with a family or whatever.”The church also

has a radio minis-try and many other services.Post retirement, the

Schmidts decided to movie to Lincoln. They purchased a home about six months ago and have been slowly transferring their belongings to the new house. In fact, the final truckload was delivered on Wednesday, June 13 and the Pastor’s last

day was Sunday, June 17.“Our families are

there,” Schmidt explained. “Our children and grand-children all live in Lincoln.” The Schmidts have

three children and nine grandchildren.In addition to

spending more time with family, the Schmidts also plan to do some more traveling. They have already visited 25 countries through-out their travels, mostly in the U.S. and Europe.“I have a brother

who lives in Andor-ra, which is between Spain and Frances,” Mrs. Schmidt said. Andorra is the sixth smallest country in Europe. They will be spending three weeks in the tiny European nation.“Then we are going

to Wisconsin the end of July,” Schmidt added. “For a family vacation.”Schmidt said, “I

would really like to thank the communi-ty for the opportuni-ties we have had and the openness of the various institutions of the community to having religious ser-vices and spiritual leadership.”

missioners held a discussion for the possibility of va-cating Navy Road off of 562 Avenue. Residents of the area were present for the discussion. Tim Farmer, acting highway supervisor for Jefferson County, informed the com-missioners that the strip of road in

question was never formally closed to the public and is still the responsibility of Jefferson County.The gate that was

put up to deter the public from traveling down the road; how-ever, it was brought to everyone’s atten-tion that the road was never formally closed.

The commissioners were asked to ap-prove the measures of whatever it would take to improve the road. It was decided that dirt would be brought in or do-nated by the land-owners in the area, if they could, to repair and improve the road conditions.

SPORTSDILLER-ODELL | FAIRBURY | MERIDIAN | THAYER CENTRAL | TRI COUNTY | WILBER-CLATONIA

By Nathan HeuerGoing out on a

winning note was a desire for both Rylee Pieper and Erin Johnson heading into Friday’s South-east Nebraska All-Star Volleyball Game at the Truman Cen-ter on the Southeast Community College campus.The Meridian all-

stater’s from this past season ended their 2017 campaign with a loss to John-son-Brock in the Class D-1 state title game for the second year in a row, so the west squad team-mates were pre-sented the opportu-

nity for redemption and a mild taste of revenge.Johnson-Brock’s

Kaitlin Simon and Brynn Westenburg lined up on the other side of the net for the east squad, giving Johnson and Pieper a chance to beat a pair of team-mates that defeated them for the Class D-1 crown.The Meridian duo

did just that, as the West team defeated the East team in five sets 25-22, 20-25, 25-20, 14-25, 15-6.“It feels good to end

with a win, espe-cially in the fifth set 15-6. We just came out and knew

GOING OUT WITH A WINPieper, Johnson On Winning End Of All Star Game

we wanted to win. It always feels good beating a couple of state champs,” Pieper said.Johnson shared a

similar feeling.“It was good. I was

glad to get to play one more game, so a win was good,” she said.Johnson and

Pieper were joined by Meridian head volleyball coach Bob VanWesten on the West squad. He served the assistant coach of the team under head coach Andrea Reed, who is the head coach of Fillmore Central.The long-time head

coach of the Mus-

tangs volleyball team said he was pleased with the team’s unity with only having two practices under their belt.“Our girls all played

well together. They really meshed well with only a couple of practices. Just seemed like good friends right away,” he said.In four of the five

sets, Johnson and Pieper took the court for the west team and the duo con-nected for numerous kills in the game. As for her other teammates, Johnson said as a setter it was a bit challeng-ing at the start to

form a connection with her hitters but by the fifth set it was smooth sailing as she quickly learned what each teammate was looking for in her sets.“By that time (fifth

set) I knew how they wanted there sets. It was hard at the be-ginning but you just gotta ask them what they want and try to give it to them,” Johnson said.Pieper will continue

her volleyball career at Peru State while Johnson will con-tinue to set for the Concordia volleyball team this upcoming fall.

Everything in life has a beginning, a middle, and an end.Heck, New York

Yankees center fielder Joe DiMag-gio’s consecutive hit streak came to an end after 56 games in 1941.After working at the

Fairbury Journal-News for nearly 30 years, the last 26 years covering sports I have decided to move on to a new chapter in my life.Following a stint in

the mortuary profes-sion out of state I returned to Fairbury in the late 1980’s , and was hired at the Fairbury Journal-News by then owner Bill Nuckolls.After doing various

jobs for a few years at the paper, the sports editor at the time Mike Carnes felt I would be a worthy individual to cover and report sports since he was planning to leave the newspaper and get into radio broadcast-ing.With his passion

for the job he taught me what it would take to become a sports writer, report-er, and an editor.To this day, I truly

thank Mike and Fred Arnold for allowing me this opportunity.Throughout my

tenure at the paper, I have worked for two publishers, Fred Arnold and Timothy Linscott that both knew their share of sports.There are going

to be a number of things I’ll miss about my time here.First I believe cov-

ering sports for four area schools which grew to six in the past two years would be at the top of my list.All the games

which I covered and the athletes I got to meet and write about were special to me.During my time I’ve

been fortunate to view many superb athletic achieve-ments both individu-ally, and as a team.Some of the feats

include the Fair-bury Jeffs basket-ball team placing runner-up in Class C-1 in 1995 and 1999, Fairbury Jeffs cross country team winning the Class C State Championship in 1999, Fairbury Lady Jeffs softball team runner-up in Class C in 2003, North Central’s Lady Cougars volleyball team qualifying for the first time to the Kansas State Vol-leyball Tournament

MVP honors with 14 points, 10 coming in the second half for the West team. On the boy’s side, the East

team dominated the contest throughout, leading by as many as 18 points by crashing the boards due to a distinct height advantage. The East squad featured four players 6-foot-4 or taller, while the West squad's only player over 6-4 was Crete's Klay Uher, who was listed at 6 feet 5 inches.Waverly's Tanner Wubbles

Area farmers need to be on the lookout for above normal summer tempera-tures, as it could lead to possible yield problems and drought conditions.Allen Dutcher, as-

sociate state clima-tologist in Lincoln, says that the first problem of the year started in April with delayed planting.“Planting delays

were common due to below normal temperatures state-wide,” Dutcher said. “Most of the major delay areas were the north central, north-east and Panhandle regions.”The slow April start

was quickly made up for in early May. The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) reported that Nebraska is cur-rently ahead of pace planting, but was behind until about the third week of May.North central,

northeast, west

central and central Nebraska contended with wet soil after the most recent bliz-zard. With the below average tempera-tures, April unof-ficially came in as the second coldest April on record since 1893. May could enter the Top 10, even the Top Five warmest on record. The temperature dif-ference between the two months should exceed 15 degrees.According to the

Climate Prediction Center, Nebraska, along with the Da-kota’s, will receive equal chances for above normal, nor-mal or below normal temperatures. Pre-cipitation also has equal chances for the state.Dutcher claims

that the dry spring the state has ex-perienced has left much of southeast and south-central Nebraska 4-6 inches behind normal for the soil moisture recharge period.“If these conditions

continue through the growing season,

drought damage is likely,” Dutcher said. “If we can get a mini-mum of one inch of moisture a week through August, we will likely see normal to above normal crop yields.”The state has seen

D1 drought condi-tions, mainly in the south-central re-gion, which has now extended into Jeffer-son, Saline and Fill-more counties, with an area in Richard-son County. Another small pocket exists in Cass, Sarpy and Otoe counties.“The drought areas

mentioned are a concern, like the areas south of I-80 and west of the drought sections,” Dutcher said. “If we keep experiencing precipitation deficits, the drought areas will keep expand-ing.”The driest locations

include east central Nebraska (north of the Platte River) and the wettest areas are found in the central Sandhills. Dutcher says it will take 2-4 weeks of less than

50 percent normal moisture for changes to appear on the Drought Monitor.“If rainfall stays on

a consistent basis with normal to above normal moisture, yields will be good. If dryness and heat patterns continue, areas south of I-80 are going to experi-ence below trend-line yields,” Dutcher said. “If the dryness and heat continue to build northward,

it will push further and potentially im-pact the northern half of the state as early as late June, but the more likely scenario would be July.”Dutcher believes

that temperatures are going to be eas-ier to predict, with an above average to well above average chance of warmer than normal condi-tions.“Precipitation is

the wild card, but with temperatures likely to be warmer than normal, below normal moisture would intensify drought conditions,” Dutcher said. “Nor-mal moisture could cause yield losses due to above normal temperatures and higher water use. Lastly, above normal temperatures with precipitation would likely result in above normal yields.”

It seems like we went from winter to summer in a hurry this year with no springtime to speak of; the cold weather gave way to hot and dry conditions over just a few weeks. The dry weather means that most of the 2018 spring seeded crops are in the ground across the county; but it’s still a busy time on the farm. With that in mind, I would just like to remind pro-ducers of the July 16, 2018, spring-seeded crop report-ing deadline. Once you are done plant-ing, please call our office at (402) 729-6134 to schedule your certification ap-pointment. If you’re not finished plant-ing by the deadline or you acquire new acreage after the acreage reporting deadline, here are a few things to keep in mind:•If the crop has not

been planted by the acreage reporting date, then the acre-age must be report-ed no later than 15 calendar days after planting is com-pleted.•If additional acre-

age is acquired after the acreage report-ing date, then the acreage must be reported no later than 30 calendar days after purchase or acquiring the lease. Appropriate documentation must be provided to the county office in this instance.Contact the office

with any certification questions.As we move into

summer, here are some other remind-ers from our office:Report Non-Insured

NEBRASKA WHEAT CROP REPORT JUNE 13, 2018

According to the USDA Crop Progress Report for the week ending June 10, 2018, topsoil moisture supplies rated 2 percent very short, 21% short, 74% adequate and 3% surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies rated the same as last week with 4 percent very short, 21% short, 74% adequate and 1% surplus. Winter wheat conditions rated 2 percent very poor, 7% poor, 23% fair, 52% good and 16% excellent. Winter wheat head-ed was at 88 percent, which is behind last year’s 99 percent, but above the 85 percent five-year average. Producers in the northern Panhandle re-

ported no moisture received this last week and drought stress is beginning to show up. Nearly all of the wheat is headed and flower-ing, with some starting to turn color. Sawfly is present and there will be damage, howev-er, the extent is not yet predictable. Overall, the crop is rated 75% good to excellent in the area. Southern Panhandle producers’ report 100

percent of the wheat is headed, with some areas showing 75% flowering and 50-60% in the milk stage. Some random areas caught a little rain, along with some patchy hail. Soil moisture appears to be adequate in most areas of the region. No major disease concerns have been reported. In addition, extensive hail damage was observed in parts of Cheyenne County where the storms hit the end of May.Southwestern Nebraska, again this week,

did not receive any rain, according to area producers, but soil moisture appears ad-equate at this time. There are reports of some minor leaf rust and heads are in the grain-fill stage. Overall, conditions are good. In south central Nebraska, producers

report dry conditions with topsoil moisture supplies below average. The wheat in the region is slow to mature, but there is some color. Rain is needed to fill the heads. No disease stresses have been reported. Wheat conditions in the area range from average to below average, mostly due to drought condi-tions throughout the season.Producers in southeastern Nebraska

reported dry/drought conditions, with no rainfall across the region and no subsoil moisture to draw from. It appears that the crop is maturing prematurely in some areas and will be ready for harvest in the next couple of weeks, with yields being sacrificed as a result. The overall condition for wheat in the area would be rated at fair to poor.

Buyers of agricultural land are wondering if now is a good time to make a purchase, while at the same point in the market, sellers are asking if they should sell. Are land values still trending down or have they bottomed and high-er prices are on the horizon?Individual landowners and

investors are both scratching their heads as to the current land market and where it might go. The underlying strength in

values of good quality farm and ranch land is supported by a number of factors. Num-ber one is the fact that there is currently less land for sale on the market than normal. In addition to these factors

supporting current values, land is a long-term invest-ment and there are reasons supporting land prices in the decades to come. One is the expectation that there will

continue to be an increas-ing demand for food and fiber due to world population growth and the improve-ment in personal incomes around the globe. Even with the recent increase in tillable land around the world and increasing crop yields, growth in grain demand is projected to stretch production to its fullest. The other side of the land

market indicates that it is appropriate to sell during this time period. For one, agricul-tural land values remain his-torically strong even though they have dropped from the highs of several years ago. For those who have owned ag land for a period of more than a decade or for those who have recently inherited land, today’s values far exceed those of the past. The decision for those contemplating a sale of the farm or ranch is wheth-

er to sell now and capture what still is a very good price or hold for a later sale.Therefore, at what point

will an additional amount of land for sale in an area move prices down?The concern in the market is

at what point does the ex-pectation for some additional land coming up for sale meet with the potential for less op-erator demand to lower land prices?At this time, there are good

reasons to support the tale of two land markets with one saying it is a good time to sell and one indicating it is time to invest. Other pos-sible effects could be weather, crop yields, energy prices, government policies, and world events that can over-ride the current status of the land market. The next several years will decide the direction for the land prices.

for 2018 County Committee ElectionThe U.S. Department of Ag-

riculture (USDA) Farm Ser-vice Agency (FSA) encourag-es all farmers, ranchers and FSA program participants to take part in the Jefferson County Committee election nomination process.FSA’s county committees

are a critical component of the day-to-day operations of FSA and allow grassroots input and local administra-tion of federal farm pro-grams. The Jefferson County Committee is composed of 3 elected members, one from each local administrative area (LAA). Each member serves a three-year term. This year LAA #1 is up for election. LAA #1 is com-prised of Buckley, Antelope, Rock Creek, Pleasant, Endi-cott and Newton Townships.To be eligible for nomina-

tion and to hold office as a committee member or alternate, a person must fulfill each of the follow-ing requirements: (1) be a producer with an inter-est in farming or ranching operations, (2) participate or

cooperate in any FSA pro-gram provided for by law, (3) be a U.S citizen, (4) be of legal voting age, (5) meet the basic eligibility requirements and (6) reside in the LAA in which they will be serving.County committees may

have an appointed advisor to further represent the lo-cal interests of underserved farmers and ranchers. Underserved producers are beginning, women and other minority farmers and ranch-ers and land owners and/or operators who have limited resources. Also consider un-derserved are Native Ameri-cans, persons under the poverty level and persons who have disabilities.All Nomination forms for

the 2018 election must be postmarked or received in the local USDA service center by Aug. 1, 2018. For more information on the county committee and the election process, contact the Jefferson County FSA Of-fice at (402) 729-6134. More information on FSA county committee elections and appointments can also be found online at: www.fsa.usda.gov/elections.USDA Partners with Texas

A&M to Help Veterans Seek-ing Agriculture Loans and CareersUSDA announced a part-

nership between the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Texas A&M’s AgriLife Extension Service to help military veterans obtain loans and pursue careers as farmers and ranchers. Secretary Perdue joined lo-cal dignitaries, members of the Armed Forces, veterans, and community leaders at the Dallas Farmers Market to unveil the new pilot pro-gram.USDA’s Farm Service

Agency (FSA) is collaborat-ing with AgriLife Extension Service on the pilot, which is part of the Texas A&M Battleground to Breaking Ground project. The pro-gram makes it easier for veterans to meet federal re-quirements to get FSA direct farm ownership loans, which

can help provide access to land and capital.The pilot program, which

will include 15 to 18 vet-erans, will roll out in three phases: an introductory workshop, a business plan-ning curriculum, and a production curriculum over a period of 12 to 18 months. Typically, loan applicants

must participate in the busi-ness operations of a farm for at least three years during a 10-year period. However, as part of this pilot program, participants can combine the certificate they receive with their military leader-ship or management experi-ence to satisfy this require-ment. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, ap-proximately 45 percent of armed service members are from rural America.Pilot program applications

will be accepted from inter-ested veterans between June 15 and July 20, 2018, until 11 p.m. central standard time, apply here. For more information about USDA programs, visit newfarm-ers.usda.gov/veterans or https://www.farmers.gov.To learn about other ways

USDA is supporting vet-erans, visit https://www.usda.gov/our-agency/initia-tives/veterans, and watch https://www.youtube.om=OAeLqXHUU3w. As always, if you have

questions about FSA pro-grams, contact our office.DATES TO REMEMBER:July 16 – Deadline to re-

1880Luther Nelson lost

his job as Deputy County Clerk when Ham Clapp, the County Clerk, con-cluded that what-ever extra help he needed could be done by his wife.

1886 At market prices

it took the pro-ceeds from three bushels of corn to buy a ticket to the Sells Bros. Circus showing here. At-tendance wasn't as large as had been expected. Mr. Fikes, mail

carrier between Fairbury and Bow-er, gave up his job when nursery stock shipments were added to his load. Kesterson & Tolleth took over the con-tract and expected to make a profit by running a hack line.

1890A tornado wiped

out the town of Bradshaw in York County.

1896 An “old people's

service” at the Fairbury Methodist Church listed over 100 present who were past 50 years of age, 30 over 60 years, six over 70 years and three over 80.The Rev, J.O.

Cramb preached the sermon. A night attempt to

rob the Bower Post Office was foiled when a son of Clem Hedges opened fire with a revolver on two masked men.

1906 There was some

delay in organizing a YMCA in Fair-bury due to the rule that all directors be members of an Evangelical church. Business was good

on Rock Island passenger trains. A through train on the Horton line brought the first sleeping cars ever seen in Beatrice on its run to and from Fair-bury.

1916 The Fairbury

Journal began pub-lishing the railroad timetables for arriv-

al and departure of all passenger trains. At that time there were three railroads, Rock Island, Union Pacific and Burling-ton, with 14 four and two trains daily, respectively. Nearly all of them carried mail. A hack from Fairbury met two of the four Burlington trains at Kesterson on the B & M line. A “culvert” or “low

bridge” 100 feet long, was to be put in at either end of the southwest bridge over the Little Blue River. The Fairbury

Journal reported many autos weren't operating properly on “gasoline” that contained kerosene, due to the lack of laws setting fuel standards. Kerosene then was priced at 9 cents a gallon, gaso-line at 24 cents.

1926 About half the

stock subscriptions needed to organize a Farmers Union Cooperative Cream-ery here had been subscribed. Fairbury had only

11 surviving Civil War veterans, Frank Abbey, W.H. Av-ery, A. Deffer, J.K. Diller, D.S. Groff, H.J. Hole, Henry Lenger, G.W. Shook, George Staley, I.N. Thompson and A.C. Wheeler. All were over 80 years of age.

1936 A public meeting to

consider the grass-hopper threat was held in Fairbury. The Jefferson

County Historical Society considered erecting a building to house historic objects. The Fairbury State

Bank was chartered by the state.

manager of the Hested Store in Fairbury, was pro-moted to supervisor for Hested stores in eastern Nebraska. Harold Meyer was named to succeed him. Keith Stephen-son and Bill Nuck-olls were Fairbury Representatives at

Cornhusker Boys' State.

1956 Floyd Catlin, a for-

mer Fairbury may-or, was named man-ager of the Jefferson County Museum. The Cincinnati

Reds staged a base-ball clinic for 47 youths here. Doyle Lade and Dick (Karabatsos) King, scouts in the Reds' organization, were in charge of the clinic.The Fairbury

Windmill Co. sold eight towers to be used for flood-lights along the St. Lawrence Seaway, announced Morris Speir, Windmill Co. president.

1964Movies playing at

the Bonham Theatre were “Don’t Give Up the Ship,” starring Jerry Lewis, and “The 30 Foot Bride of Candy Rock,” the last movie starring Lou Costello and the only one without his former partner, Bud Abbott.Patti Quigley ap-

peared on the “Joe Martin Show” after winning Miss Fair-bury Crown. Her talent presentation was a tap dance routine to “Chat-tanooga Shoe Shine Boy.”

1966 The Fairbury

Journal Special award winners at the FHS commence-ment had been Mike Rinehart, Sousa music award; Neil Waring, Gallamore award for athlete-citizen, and Joseph Gasper, Bausch & Lomb science award. Dial telephone ser-

vice began in Fair-bury. The change affected some 30 employees in the traffic department of the local exchange. First phone service here had been in 1888.

1970A small twister

demolished the tile and concrete chick-en house on the Fred Drexler farm.Don Shearon’s

Flag Day column

told of E.F. Diers of Sheridan, Wyom., known to his friends as “Pops,” who re-fused to use post-age stamps that bore the image of the American flag as he did not want to “desecrate” the flag. “These all look fine in a collector’s album, but it makes me sad to get a letter that started out with a beauti-ful emblem of our nation pasted in the corner, but when it reached me it had been desecrated with a black blob of a canceling machine by some employee of the government.” He added, “If I cannot get a 6-cent stamp other than a flag, I use two 3’s.”Movies playing at

the Bonham were “Bloody Mama,” the largely fictional ac-count of the life of Ma Barker, starring Shelley Winters, and “El Dorado,” a western starring John Wayne and Robert Mitchum.

1976 Local grain mar-

ket prices included wheat $3.77 a bushel, yellow corn $2.73, milo 5.32 and soybeans $6.

1986 Thayer County

resident Kathy Retzlaff, 35, was the first female to attain the rank of mas-ter sergeant in the two-state 89th Army Command. Ethel and Leland

Pettigrew, owners of the Klean Klose Shop, a dry cleaning operation in Fair-bury, since 1946, decided to retire and sell the business. cGina Durfee,

daughter of Ed and Gayle Durfee, was installed honored Queen of Job’s Daughter Bethel No. 34 of Fairbury at the Masonic Tem-ple.

2002Peg Friesen of

Fairbury released a CD of music entitled “Peg Friesen: From the Heart.” The CDs were distributed through the Jan-sen Bible Church, of which Freisen had been a member since 1981. Trea-sured Pieces, locat-ed at 524 E Street, held an open house and signing for Fri-esen on Thursday, June 20.

2006Shane York and

Jeremy White, both from Fairbury, re-turned home after serving 1 ½ years in Iraq.

2017The Fairbury Pub-

lic Library hosted author and baseball

historian Phil S. Dixon, who gave a talk on the Kansas City Monarchs, the longest-running (1920-1965) fran-chise in the his-tory of the Negro Leagues. The pro-gram was titled “Kansas City Mon-archs in our Home-town.”
