People flocked into City Hall in Nebraska
City Monday evening to hear Nebraska City
Finance Commissioner and Acting Mayor
Mindy Briley's nomination for the mayor
position. So many people showed up for the
city council meeting that a short recess was
taken to relocate the meeting to the Rowe
Safety Complex across the street.
Alas, the search for a successor mayor continues.
Briley nominated Nebraska City's longtime volunteer Jim Kuhn to be appointed as
mayor.
"I have to say that this decision has not
been easy. Since Feb. 26, it's all I could think
about," Briley said to the audience. "To this
date I've received countless emails from you,
the citizens, in support of one candidate or
another, and some who are not in support of
one candidate or another. I want to thank
each citizen who did so. I considered these
when making my decision."
Briley's nomination was rejected 3-1 by
commissioners Jim Stark, Jeff Crunk and
Vic Johns because of Kuhn's involvement
with the construction of the new aquatic
center.
Crunk, who is the Nebraska City Parks
Commissioner, said Kuhn is a valuable asset
to the new aquatic center project.
"I would hate to lose him as a valuable
asset to our group ," he said. "So if I don't
say yes it's because I don't want to lose him."
Briley said Crunk's concern was with possible quorum conflicts arising.
"There will be multiple open meetings that
have to occur to get the swimming pool off
and running," Briley said.
"The conflict that that would create is that
Jim Stark and Jeff Crunk are both necessary
to be at those meetings as well. So it would
create a quorum if Jim (Kuhn) were to be
there as well."
Johns, who is the Nebraska City Street
Commissioner, said Kuhn is a shining example
of a man who's proud of his community.
"I think that Jim, no doubt, has worked
his heart out on many projects," Johns said.
"I have no doubt that he does have the best
interest of the community at heart."
The commissioners all said the successor
mayor process hasn't been easy.
Nebraska City City Attorney David Partsch
said the majority rules in the case for ap-
Nebraska City mayor applicant Jim Kuhn, right, talks to Nebraska City Utilities General
Manager Leroy Frana, left and Nebraska City Public Works Commissioner Jim Stark after
the city council meeting Monday evening at the Rowe Safety Complex. Finance Commissioner and Acting Mayor Mindy Briley nominated Kuhn to be the new successor mayor
during the meeting. The nomination was rejected by a 3-1 vote by the commission.

pointing a new successor mayor to take the
place of former Mayor Jack Hobbie, who resigned Feb. 26. Partsch added that even if
the vote had been split between the four
commissioners, then Briley's nomination
would still be rejected.
"It's a nomination process so a 'yes' vote
by a commissioner doesn't necessarily mean
that they're selecting that person above another person's name. It just means that a
nomination has been brought forth by the
finance commissioner, whether it is accepted
or rejected," Partsch said. "So it might not
necessarily be their first choice, but it would
be a qualified vote that the individual is a
qualified individual to step into the mayoral
position and take that responsibility forward
with the city."
According to state statue, Briley could only
bring forth one nomination at Monday night's
meeting.
"So if there's a nominee tonight and that
nominee is rejected then, pursuant to law,

Nebraska City native Anne Madison will
be the featured pianist at a world premier
event on Sunday in Omaha.
Madison, who graduated from Nebraska
City High School in 1990, is appearing with
Orchestra Omaha as they present “Piano
Concerto” by Jackson Berkey. Berkey, who
was the main keyboard artist for Mannheim
Steamroller for many years, is friends with
Madison and wrote the concerto for her.
“A concerto is when you have a solo instrument with a full orchestra behind it,”
Madison said. “It is a huge gift that Jackson
wrote this for me and I want to do a good
job.”

all nominations cease at that point since this
is the first meeting of the nomination,"
Partsch said. "Then it would then take a
special meeting or at the next regular meeting
that any further nominations could occur."
Briley's nomination of Kuhn has now left
his name out of the pool for the mayor
position unless a special election were to
take place.
However, Briley isn't seeking a special election. Briley said she has personally interviewed
each applicant.
"It was my pleasure for getting to know
them," she said.
A special city council meeting was scheduled
for April 15 at 7 a.m. at the Rowe Safety
Complex to continue the search for the next
mayor. The applicants that have shown an
interest in being the next mayor are Tyler
Avery, Bryan Bequette, Tracy Frey and Phillip
Wredt.
See Mayor, page A2
The daughter of Dr. Paul and Angie Madison, Anne Madison attended the University
of Nebraska-Lincoln following high school,
earning a Bachelor of Music.
She then received a Master of Music from
Baylor.
Madison lived for three years in Vienna,
Austria, attending the Vienna Conservatory
and earning an Artist Diploma, a performance-based degree.
Madison currently teaches at the Omaha
Conservatory of Music, giving lessons to students from as young as five years old to one
in his 70s.
“I enjoy teaching,” Madison said. “I like it
when they are engaged with the music no
matter what their level. It’s the relationships
I have made that are meaningful.”
The concert on Sunday is titled “Something
Old, Something New” and, in addition to
premiering Berkey’s Piano Concerto, will include Dvorak’s Symphony No. 8. The 3 p.m.
concert is at St. Paul’s United Methodist
Church at 324 S. Jackson Street in Papillion.
“Orchestra Omaha is filled with fine musicians,” Madison said. “They do a free concert
series every year so lots of people can experience the music.”
Madison said she has spent quite a bit of
time on the concerto in the past few months,
noting she usually spends about two hours a
day on the piece. Madison said this last
week was Spring Break, so she was able to
dedicate more time to her practice, spending
up to four hours a day on it.
“The longer I play the piece, the more I
love it,” Madison said. “It’s a joyful piece,
full of light.”
Madison will play on Berkey’s own ninefoot Steinway piano that will be moved to
the church for the concert. The concert is
free to the public.

From page A1
Partsch commended
Briley for her openness
with commissioners and
the public during this
process.
"She's actually been
more open and transparent than legally necessary
by making the names of
all of the interested parties
public knowledge and
knowledgeable to all of
the commissioners," he
said. "Which has been a
good process because it
allowed for public input.
I know (the commissioners) had received a lot of
input leading up to this
meeting from the public,
and I think they all appreciate that."
Here's a little bit of information about Kuhn:
■ He's a United States
Navy veteran and Vietnam
War veteran,
■ Received the Big Apple Award for restoration
of the Old Stone Cabin in
Steinhart Park in 2011,
■ He is a Nebraska City
Leadership Class 8 member and helped with the
brick work of Memorial
Way,
■ Was awarded the Nebraska Main Street Volunteer of the Year Award
in 2012,
■ Received the Nebraska City Community Foundation's Philanthropist of
the Year Award in 2013,
■ He is the chairman
of the Nebraska City Main
Street Historians,
■ Has painted and
cleaned up the public restrooms as a volunteer in
2012,
■ He is a member of
the LB 840 Citizens Advisory Review Committee,
■ He is a member of
the Nebraska City Community Foundation,
■ A supporting member
of the Nebraska City Area
Economic Development
Corp.,
■ And he's also a member of the Swimming Pool
Let's Act to See it Happen
Committee.
A couple of people in
the audience spoke to the
council to announce their
support for Kuhn.
Stark, who is the Nebraska City Public Works
commissioner, said he was
grateful for the public's
input.
"We certainly don't have
all of the answers and
don't always make all the
right decisions, but we've
found that the more input
we have the better our decisions become," he said.
"So we thank everybody
for speaking up and particularly the five that put
their names into the hat."
Johns agreed with
Stark.
"Your input is very valuable, very important, and
I appreciate every single
one of the emails and the
telephone calls that I received," Johns said. "Again
we're just at a crossroads
right now and this is just
part of the process, and I
want to thank you all that
chose to participate in
that."
After the meeting, Kuhn
understood the commissioners' decision to reject
his nomination.
"It's just the way it
works. Sometimes you're
too involved with too
many things to make
things happen. I'm good
with it.
“I'll throw my support
behind whoever they
want because I'm Nebraska City all of the way.
There ain't no looking
back," he said.
"There's no anger or
anything. It's just part of
the process. If you're a
true Nebraska Citian you'll
see how it all works and
how it all comes together
and I just do not have a
problem with that at all."
Briley encouraged all of
the applicants, including
Kuhn, to consider running
in the 2016 mayoral election.
"Regardless of tonight's
outcome, I hope all of
these candidates and more
will decide to run in the
2016 mayoral election,"
she said.
As for Kuhn running in
the 2016 mayoral election,
he's uncertain at this time.
"That's 20 months
away," he said. "I don't
know that I will or not.
I'll just have to cross that
bridge when I come to it."
Kuhn gave Briley a hug
and talked with commissioners after the Monday
night meeting. He wishes
the council well with the
continued search for the
next mayor.
"Pick the next candidate
and get somebody in there
that will help the city move
forward," he said.

Monday's meeting, which

GUEST COLUMNIST
A few questions for
Governor Ricketts
Alvin Guenther
[email protected]
and senior living facilities
provide the greatest avenue for careers offering
salaries and benefits sufficient to survive in small rural communities which will
hopefully help to reduce
the “brain drain from rural
Nebraska.
In my commentary discussing economics and the
choices we make, I specifically quoted the 24/7 Wall
Street and their itemized
list of growth factors for
communities. They specifically itemized the number
of individuals with Bachelor Degrees, infrastructure,
and the prospects for
working age population
growth.
Then why do we continue to guarantee huge
profits to national and
multi-national agri-businesses (Quantity theory of
Money – The theory that
changes in the price level
will be proportional to
changes in the money supply) via the Federal Farm
Bill. The 68346 Zip Code,
(Dunbar, NE) received a
$10,451,110 share of a ruse
of gigantic proportions referred to as the $58.6B
Federal Farm Bill. The
largest recipient in the Zip
Code area was $687,710.97
for the years 1995-2006.
History has shown that
these farm subsidies have
been one of the greatest
catalysts to the rapid erosion of rural Nebraska,
corresponding sky rocketing local property tax increases and wildlife losses.
Nebraska national and
multi-national corporations are stepping up to the
plate to gladly accept their
share of President Obama’s 2015 Pentagon Budget of $585B as subcontractors to big winners
such as Lockheed Martin
Corp., Northrop Grumman Corp., General Atomics and General Dynamics
Corp. whose profits will
leave Nebraska in favor of
Wall Street.
Would someone please
explain to me using quantitive analysis how we can
gladly accept these huge
federal tax payer funded
expenditures to enhance
the profitability of huge
national and multi-national corporations but not
accept the congressionally
approved, paid for Medicaid Redesign Act? The
Medicaid Redesign Act offers all the possibilities of
helping or aiding in the
survival of rural Nebraska,
providing protection from
approximately 1200 health
care bankruptcies per year
and sustaining or enlarging the health care work
force as well as preserving
the rural hospitals of our
state.
Professors Konecny and
Jenkins state that new
monies to our state totaling
approximately $992,000
daily to Medicaid expansion recipients and their
care givers would represent
a total influx of economic
stimulus to rural Nebraska
of $5 billion over 5 years in
new economic activity.
Why, may I ask, would
our newly elected Governor and alleged successful
businessman refuse such
an influx of new money
and economic stimulus to
the rural areas our state?
Perhaps there is a tumor in
the tissue, or other information somewhere we
have not yet been privileged to.
Having just released my
guest commentary discussing the concept that
skepticism can be dangerous, I read a news release
written by Nebraska’s Governor Pete Ricketts attempting to convince Nebraskans that the Affordable Care Act was a failure,
a threat to other programs
and offering political demagoguery and hyperbole
to not support LB 472
known as the Medicaid
Redesign Act.
My first question to Governor Ricketts would be,
‘who will benefit from your
stance on declining the
Medicaid Redesign Act?”
My second question would
be, “can you give me quantified reasons why your assumption holds that the
Affordable Care Act is a
failure? Thirdly, I would
ask, “why do you say that’?
‘Could you explain further?” I am sure further
Socratic questions would
follow.
I stated in a previous
commentary quoting Allen
Jenkins, PH. D, Professor
of Economics and Ron
Konecny, PH. D, Professor
of Management both of
the University of Nebraska/Kearney that, “One
must be careful to avoid
letting ideological positions influence the quantitative benefits”.
Using a more positive,
less threatening approach
let us talk of the quantitative benefits of LB 472.
As we all know, health
insurance costs have inflated, often with double
digit inflation, for over five
decades.
Yes, a part of that inflation resulted from shifting
the demand curve to the
right through increased
numbers of people demanding health care.
A second reason for
these health care cost increases has been the increased numbers of individuals that are not covered by insurance because
of pre-existing health conditions or just simply put,
purchasing food is a priority to purchasing insurance.
A separate group is opting to not purchase insurance. These individuals
choose instead to allow
their health care cost be
absorbed by those that do
purchase
insurance
through cost shifting.
To address that unwise
choice, the Affordable Care
Act mandate requires
everyone to purchase insurance or face a pecuniary burden or fee. The
Medicaid Redesign Act
will amortize health care
costs over time to a greater
number of insured, thus
reducing the cost for all.
This concept is utilized
by farmers, for example, to
justify the purchases of a
new combine by amortizing its cost over a greater
number of bushels harvested.
The citizens of Nebraska
are well aware of our low
unemployment rate. However, we are all keenly
aware that there are also
negative aspects to this
statistic.
Many Nebraskans are employed but
are either underemployed,
part time employed, have
given up attempting to
seek employment or in
jobs offering no health care

DIARY OF A DAD
In avoiding loss, are we really
negating the potential for gains
I was listening to the radio the other day and I
heard about this economic
theory called, “loss aversion”.
It refers to “the tendency
for individuals to prefer
avoiding losses rather than
accruing gains.”
(http://www.investorwords.com/16526/loss_ave
rsion.html#ixzz3WefBnKkG)
In layman’s terms it refers
to the fact that we feel more
pain at loss than pleasure
with the commiserate gain.
We hate to give up what
we have even if what we
have is not that valuable to
us.
This is never more evident than when you are
going through your toddlers toys attempting to
find toys to give away, throw
away, or put away.
My daughter found a
stuffed animal, I think it
came with a fast food kids’
meal or something.
It was behind and under
her bed, I don’t think she
had seen it in about 6
months.
When we dug it out and
said, alright let’s put that in
REV. GREG BOLT
the give away pile you
would have thought we had
asked her to give up one of
her fingers.
She whined, cried, and
told us that it was her most
favorite toy and she had
been looking for it forever.
She made it seem like if
we took it away from her,
her entire life would be ruined.
Ultimately it went in the
give away pile and life continued as normal.
Until the next time we
ask her to give something
up. I know I’m throwing
my kid under the bus here,
but it’s because I don’t want
to admit to you that in the
closet under our stairs I
have a plastic bucket full of
my trophies from little
league.
I just don’t want to give
them up, they have no use
to me, I still have the memories associated with those
times on the various fields
and courts as a kid.
The trophies, really, are
just taking up space—just
like those team pennants I
have from my childhood
room, and those hats I’ll
never wear again.
Even though I know, logically, I don’t need or want
them, and I know they
aren’t serving any purpose
but to take up space in the
limited storage in my
house, I can’t seem to get
rid of them.
What in your life are you
afraid of losing, not because you need it, but because you’re not sure what
you might gain in its place?
We do it all the time.
Have you ever heard the
phrase, “We’ve never done
it that way.”
That’s a function of loss
aversion.
When we are afraid to try
something new because of
the fear of what we might
lose, we get stuck, we get
frozen, we get stagnant.
It also means that we
miss out on things that
might transform our lives in
amazing ways.
If my daughter was willing to give up the toys that
she doesn’t play with she
might have an opportunity
to get more toys that she
would play with.
If I would give up little
league trophies, I could organize my storage better
and have more room in my
garage.
If we are willing to let go
of those things that we kind
of like, but don’t really use,
it could expand the possibilities of what we obtain.
At dinner every night,
my family goes around the
table and shares their high
points and low points of the
day. We call it “Favorite”
and “Not Favorite”. Here are
my “Favorites” and “Not
Favorites” of the week.
Favorite: My in-laws are
in town and I love when my
kids get to spend some
quality Granny and Opa
time.
Not Favorite: Post-Easter is always rough for pastors, it takes a lot of energy
to lead Holy Week, but it’s
totally worth it.
FROM THE GOVERNOR
In avoiding loss, are we really
negating the potential for gains
Proponents of Medicaid
expansion here in Nebraska are not giving up.
This week, the Nebraska
Legislature is scheduled to
debate whether to expand
Medicaid under Obamacare.
Since the last time I
wrote about this issue two
weeks ago, proponents of
expansion released a study
claiming that expanding
Medicaid would be an economic boon for our state.
Nebraskans, however,
should not buy into claims
that expansion of government entitlement programs
are justified as something
that “save(s), create(s) and
support(s)” jobs.
Nebraskans have never
used subjective measures
touting “saved” or “supported” jobs when determining the efficacy of entitlement expansions, and it
would be irresponsible to
begin doing so today.
History has shown that
taking money from taxpayers and giving it to another group of individuals
through an entitlement
program does not result in
real or sustainable economic development.
If you could simply grow
an economy through the
transfer of wealth by government, poverty would
not have existed under Soviet rule of Russia and our
Federal Government could
simply spend its way out of
any recession. Expanding
Medicaid will not result in
the tax relief and good-
GOV. PETE
RICKETTS
paying jobs we need to
grow Nebraska for the next
generation.
Not only is the basis for
Medicaid expansion flawed,
but it would be an expensive burden for Nebraska
taxpayers, adding an additional $158 million burden
to the state budget and
competing with other
budget priorities like meaningful property tax relief
or future roads funding.
Today, Nebraska’s Medicaid program consumes
$1.8 billion of the state’s total budget to serve about
238,000 people annually.
This year, Medicaid
makes up nearly 19 percent
of total state spending. In
1979, it represented 2.9
percent.
Just this past year, the
Federal Government recalculated Nebraska’s Medicaid match rate, creating an
additional $75 million that
the State of Nebraska must
pay just to maintain our existing Medicaid program.
As you can see, our current
Medicaid program is already costing Nebraska taxpayers more and more
money.
Expanding Medicaid in
Nebraska is a risky proposition for taxpayers not only
because of the expense but
also because we cannot
trust the Federal Government’s long-term financial
commitment to state programs.
History has shown time
and again that the federal
government frequently
makes promises of funding,
and then scales back its
commitment.
The most recent example
of this is the Federal Government’s decision to end
its financial commitment to
CoOportunity Health, a
consumer operated and oriented plan which provided
private health insurance
coverage to thousands of
Nebraskans.
CoOportunity was started as a part of an initiative
born out of Obamacare and
partially funded with federal dollars.
At the end of 2014, the
Federal
Government
walked away from its commitment to CoOportunity,
leaving the co-op insolvent
and policyholders scrambling to find new coverage.
If the Federal Government failed with CoOportunity, it would be unwise to
depend on long-term funding for expanding our Medicaid program here in Ne-
braska.
Rather than depending
on the Federal Government, let’s look for solutions
here in Nebraska so that we
can get more people covered by private insurance.
Right now, we have many
good jobs open around the
state, many of which offer
private health insurance
benefits.
This past week, I signed
Executive Order #15-03 to
create the State Workforce
Development Board to
bring together a broad
range of stakeholders to
provide state-level coordination and integration
among federal and state
workforce development
programs.
By leveraging current
workforce development
programs, we can connect
more Nebraskans with
open good-paying jobs that
have the benefits they need
rather than expanding entitlement programs.
A recent analysis predicted that up to 45,000
Nebraskans who currently
pay for private health insurance would trade their
coverage for Medicaid under the proposed expansion. Any effort to connect
Nebraskans with healthcare should avoid incentivizing people to drop private coverage.
With the approaching
debate, it is important that
your state senator hear your
thoughts on this proposed
expansion of Medicaid under Obamacare.
You can find all the information you need on how
to contact your state senator about this important
issue by visiting www.NebraskaLegislature.gov.

Pioneer baseball
drops road games
Julie Mancini
[email protected]
The Nebraska City
baseball team lost a
pair on the road over
the Easter break.
On Monday, the Pioneers lost 12-1 to Seward at Plum Creek
Park. The Bluejays took
the lead with nine runs
in the bottom of the
first inning. Nebraska
City answered with a
run in the top of the
second, but Seward
scored again in the bottom of the second and
the bottom of the
fourth.
Nebraska City was
held to a single hit from
Andrew Harrah. Chris
Monaghan walked before Harrah’s single
and scored the Pioneer
run on a ground out
by Bret Kochanowicz.
On Friday, Nebraska
City lost 7-5 Friday in
a non-conference away
game at Platte Valley.
Platte Valley scored
five runs in the bottom
of the fourth inning after Nebraska City took
the early lead. The Pioneers scored two more
runs in the top of the
seventh, but Platte Valley held on for the win.
Offensively, Chris
Monaghan went 2-for4 for the Pioneers.
Brennen Bales was also
2-for-4 with a double.
Monaghan and Bales
each scored a run and
had an RBI.
The Pioneers played
on the road Tuesday
against Omaha Skutt.
They play at 4:30 today
at home against Waverly and also have a
home game on Saturday against Omaha
North. That game will
begin at 1 p.m. at Clemmy Holmes Field in
Steinhart Park.
Blair edges NC boys
soccer team, 2-1
Julie Mancini
[email protected]
The Nebraska City boys’
soccer team lost a close
conference game 2-1 at
Blair Monday night.
“The Pioneers were
ahead 1-0 through the first
half and most of the second when Killian Keetz
found the back of the net
from a shot near the 6yard line,” said head coach
Jessica Rice. “It was his
first goal of the season.”
The Bears answered
with a penalty shot after
a foul was called in the
box, said Rice. The game
was tied 1-1, but with 35
seconds left in regulation,
Blair found the back of
the net on a low cross from
the end line.
“The Pioneers played
well and have momentum
going into the rest of the
week,” she added. “If we
play like we did last night,
we are capable of upping
our wins for the season.”
On defense, Rice commended left back Fernely
Rodriguez for his tackles
and his consistent play.
Nebraska City played
Thursday
against
Plattsmouth. Look for the
results of that game in a

“Beki Warga and Cloey
Allgood did a nice job of
controlling the midfield
and giving us a chance of
getting organized,” he said.
“Tessa Kinart provided
an offensive spark, which
gave us the opportunity
to get some shots on net.”
“Even though we lost, I
saw improvement in the
areas we are concentrating
on,” said Hoover.

ASK AMY
Gamer’s girlfriend wants out
DEAR READERS: I’ve stepped
away from my desk for a few days;
I hope you’ll enjoy these “Best Of”
columns in my absence.
DEAR AMY: I moved in with my
boyfriend four months ago. Since
then, it has come to my attention
that he stays up all night most
nights playing video games. He
then proceeds to fall asleep at
around 6 or 7 a.m. and is late for
work because he will not get up
when I try and wake him.
He then goes to bed the minute
he gets home, at 6 p.m. I am then
forced to tiptoe around our small
apartment. We have talked about
this a lot, and I keep telling him
he needs to grow up and start
being more responsible.
However, he keeps doing it
almost every night, and it makes
me really angry since I have told
him how I feel.
I really love him, but I am
beginning to worry about the
future. I want to marry him;
however, I am concerned that this
will never change. Please help
me figure out a way to make this

better. — Maddened
DEAR MADDENED: You’re
beginning to worry about the
future? I hate to be the one to tell
you, but your future is here and it’s
called “Grand Theft Auto.”
Think about it this way: These
are the good days. You’re young, in
love, and have just started cohabiting. This could be as good as it
gets with this guy.
You shouldn’t have to make this
better. He should make this better.
I would think that packing
your boxes, putting them in a
moving van and unloading them
in a different home might get his
attention; but please don’t move
out for that reason.
Move out, because your guy has
a very unhealthy lifestyle, and he’s
clearly more attached to it than to
you. (October 2003)
