Four candidates were interviewed for the
city clerk-treasurer and city administrator
positions by the Nebraska City City Council
and mayor during a special city council meeting Tuesday morning.
Grayson Path of Jetmore, Kan., and Mike
Friend of Omaha were the two candidates
interviewed for the city administrator position.
Mark Marcotte of Nebraska City and Sunshine
Taylor of Auburn were the two city clerktreasurer candidates that were interviewed.
The city clerk-treasurer and city administrator positions have been vacant since the
council voted at the Dec. 1 council meeting
to not reappoint Arnold Ehlers as the city
clerk-treasurer and Joe Johnson as the city
administrator.
The interviews began at 8 a.m. and the
last one wrapped up at about 10:50 a.m.
New Mayor Bryan Bequette then discussed
the hiring process.
"All candidates have been reviewed and
the final candidates, which were interviewed
today, have been well reviewed and scrubbed
at this point," said Bequette, who was just
appointed as Nebraska City's new mayor
April 15. "So with going forward, it's my job
Monday night to try and bring an appointment for both positions at our next council
meeting."
City Attorney David Partsch said there
were 13 candidates a piece for both positions.
Originally the hiring committee, comprised
of Finance Commissioner and former Acting
Mayor Mindy Briley, Public Works Commissioner Jim Stark and Partsch, had interviewed the candidates.
"We interviewed three for each spot and
then the mayor reviewed all of the candidates,"
Partsch said. "Basically, he started his review
process from scratch to review all of the ap-

city clerk-treasurer position during a special Nebraska City City Council meeting Tuesday morning in City Hall. Taylor is currently the assistant office manager for the Board of
Public Works in Auburn. Mark Marcotte of Nebraska City, who senior vice president and
board member of Farmers Bank & Trust Co., was the other finalist who was interviewed
for the city clerk-treasurer position. Commissioners also interviewed Grayson Path of
Jetmore, Kan., and Mike Friend of Omaha for the city administrator position.

plications and then selected the two for the
final interviews."
Bequette was encouraged by the final candidates and is confident that the positions
will be filled soon. "I was impressed with
them on paper obviously," Bequette said.
"But I was also impressed after the interview."
Street Commissioner Vic Johns and Parks
Commissioner Jeff Crunk were equally impressed with the candidates, and it will be a
nail-bitter at Monday's council meeting.
"I thought we had some well-rounded outstanding candidates. I think the mayor has a
big job in narrowing it down," Johns said. "I
think we have outstanding candidates and I
look forward to hearing his recommendation."
"I think we have some very good candidates," Crunk said. "They have differing levels
of experience, but that could work out very
well to the city's advantage."

Otoe County Commissioners Bloody Mary
updated on bridge, road work state event
Nikki Carlson
[email protected]
County commissioners zipped
through a list of agenda items
during the Otoe County Commissioners meeting Tuesday
morning. Work on the county's
roads always remains constant.
Otoe County Roads supervisor
Jonathan Brinkman updated
commissioners on a couple of
ongoing projects.
Brinkman said the roads crew
has removed a bridge northwest
of Talmage at R and 46th roads
and is replacing it with a couple
of culverts. He added that a culvert has been replaced at L and
68th roads southeast of Nebraska
City and the crew is removing
trees and doing backhoeing work
at the site, which used to be a
dumpsite.
Commissioners also appointed
people to serve on various boards
during the meeting:
■ William Umland, Howard
Bebout, Loreen Haupt and Cheri
Wirthele were reappointed to
the Otoe County Planning Commissioner by the commissioners.
■ Erin Velazco of Syracuse
will serve on the Otoe County
Visitors Committee.
■ And Stephen Wademan of
Nebraska City will serve on the
Otoe County Veterans Service
Committee.
Another road and bridge item
discussed was purchasing a tar
kettle to fill in cracks on hardsurfaced county roads.
Brinkman informed commissioners that prices for a new tar
kettle would range between
$43,000 to $48,000 and prices
for a used one would be between
$25,000 to $28,000. However,
another option would be for the
county to rent a tar kettle for
$440 a day.
Commissioner Rick Freshman
felt the prices were a little steep
and he also didn't want to use
the limited number of county
roads employees for the project.
"We might be better off hiring
that to be done by a professional
company, depending on costs,
and not take away from our construction crew," Freshman said.
The commissioners asked
Brinkman to get quotes from
professional companies to do
the work.
In other news, commissioners
also discussed the county's
deputies salaries, including courthouse and Otoe County Sheriff's
Office deputies.
Chairman Tim Nelsen said a
new state statute, Legislative Bill
560, has changed the law regarding deputies now being paid
hourly as of Jan. 1. Nelsen said
he has contacted the County Attorney's Office to appoint a committee to talk with the State Auditor's Office to make certain
the county is taking the proper
steps to ensure deputies are getting paid what they're supposed
to be getting paid. Deputy County
Attorney John Palmtag agreed
that forming a committee would
help alleviate questions or concerns regarding deputies' pay.
"There's a lot of confusion. So
we just want to make sure that
we get a committee together,"
Palmtag said, "and just kind of
talk through the process and
make sure that everybody is getting paid the same through the
changes, if we ultimately have to
make some, and everyone kind
of understands what's going on."
After a brief recess, commissioners then spoke with National
Association of Counties marketing coordinator Dennis Maggart
of Lincoln about the county's
health insurance options.
The next commissioners' meeting will be May 12 in the Otoe
County Courthouse at 8:45 a.m.
The public is welcome to attend.
Agenda items also included liquor license
Nikki Carlson
[email protected]

a liquor license for Glacial Till
Vineyard and Winery, located

Roland Meyer for 25 acres lo-
cated at 694 N. 4th Rd.;
■ Resolution 4-28-15-10 authorizing Brinkman to sell a
1990 Chevrolet pickup truck
and a 1992 GMC pickup truck
that are considered to be "surplus" county vehicles;
■ And the purchase of metal
culverts for $16,975.60 from
Ace/Eaton Metals of Kearney.

From page A1
Path travelled over six hours
for his interview first thing Tuesday morning. Path said he and
his wife, Katie, are wanting to
start and raise a family in Nebraska City because of its "smalltown" atmosphere.
"I am interested in the position
for many reasons. First off, Nebraska City would be an excellent
location for my wife and I to start
and raise a family. It brings us
closer to our family as well as
provides resources, such as stores,
recreation activities, excellent
schools, a great church and more,"
he said. "Secondly, I am very excited at the opportunity to work
with the great city staff. I have
heard nothing but great things
from other sources and therefore
would greatly enjoy teaming up
with them to tackle any issues
that currently or will face the
city.
"Thirdly, its the home of Arbor
Day. My wife and I love trees,
orchards, walking paths … all of
which Nebraska City is known
for," he added. "I can already
foresee my wife and I pulling our
bikes out, our walking shoes and
our comfortable clothes and traversing every square inch of this
beautiful community."
Path is currently the city administrator of Jetmore and was
its first administrator.
Since he's only been the city
administrator for two years, he
admits that he may not have as
much experience under his belt
than the other candidate. However, he doesn't believe that's necessarily a bad thing.
"Being a first-time administrator for Jetmore - both their
first and mine - I have tackled
several heavy and challenging
projects.
“I was the recipient of the Early
Career Excellence Award, given
to me by my fellow city administrators in Kansas, for the sheer
amount of challenges I have faced
and successfully handled," he
said.
"Therefore to be up front, I
bring a strong work ethic to the
table, I bring my ability to learn
and understand challenging and
foreign issues and topics quickly,
I bring a strong sense of logic
that I use to carefully analyze the
issue and the solutions."
Before working as Jetmore's
city administrator, Path was an
administrative specialist III and
supervisor of quality assurance
at the Jonesboro Human Devel-
opment Center in Jonesboro,
Ark., from August 2012 to March
2013. He was also the administrative specialist II of quality assurance at JHDC from December
2010 to August 2012 and the
maintenance assistant at JHDC
for a year.
He was a preacher at the Palatka Church of Christ in Palatka,
Ark., for two years as well.
Academically, Path has a Master of Public Administration degree from Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, a Bachelor
of Science in mathematics from
the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in Lincoln, his internship
was with Sen. Ben Nelson in Lincoln and he has an Associate of
Science in physics from Northeast
Community College in Norfolk.
He said he thought the interview went well and asked Nebraska City to continue to provide
the council with support.
"To the city council, I wish
them best of luck as they tackle
this heavy and difficult decision.
It is my prayer that they are able
to determine the right course for
their community, both now and
in the future," Path said.
"To the citizens of Nebraska
City, continue to provide the
council with your support through
comments, ideas and attending
the meetings. Cities are at their
strongest when the governing
body and citizens unite and work
side by side."
Friend, the other city administrator candidate, has been the
senior account executive at First
National Technology Solutions
in Omaha since November 2011.
Friend said he was interested in
the position for two reasons.
"Two key reasons: I possess
the skills and the experience for
this position, and I believe I can
immediately help Nebraska City
grow and move forward in a positive fashion," he said. "Nebraska
City is a community that is ripe
for future growth. I am anxious
to be part of that."
Friend wrote in his cover letter
for the position that he has a lot
of years under his belt in public
policy, local government operation, communications and negotiations.
"Through my years of work in
the public sector and business
management, I have acquired a
diverse and robust set of skills in
the areas of finance and communications, and budget and
personnel management.
Also, my years as a Nebraska
Legislator provided me with a
unique understanding of urban
and rural economic development
and community relations needs,"
Competitors were: Union Bar of Gering; Kenotoe of Nebraska City; Anthony’s
Steakhouse/Ozone Omaha; Bings Sports
Bar Nebraska City; Jerrys Bar Omaha;

A percentage of proceeds will go to
the Nebraska City Museum of Firefight-
he wrote. "As chair of the Committee of Urban Affairs, I helped
write legislation relating to Tax
Increment Financing, the State's
Natural Gas Regulation Act, City
annexation, and many other regulatory and statutory areas."
Friend's work experience includes being;
■ Nebraska Chapter director
of Americans for Prosperity in
Omaha from January 2011 to
November 2011;
■ Director of the State Office
of Violence Prevention for the
Nebraska Crime Commission in

Friend studied law for one year
at Creighton Law School in Omaha, has a Bachelor of Arts degree
in mass communication from
Creighton University in Omaha
and took an executive education
course - Emerging Leadership
Program - at the University of
Virginia in Charlottesville, Va.
Friend said his vast work experience will bring "immediate"
and "long-term" benefits to Nebraska City.
"I have advanced communication skills and negotiation skills
that would add immediate value,"
he said. "I also believe that my
experience in personnel and budgetary management and analysis
would be a long-term benefit to
Nebraska City."
Friend said his interview went
well and he's anxiously waiting
to see if he gets the job.
"I am very grateful to the city
council for including me in this
search," he said. "To the citizens
of Nebraska City, I can say that
my family and I are excited about
the prospect of becoming part of
the community."

held last year, and the rest will help
offset the costs of the 144th Arbor Day
Festival.
Plans are already underway for the
third annual contest.
“Next year, we would like to have
events in advance of Arbor Day to select
only the best of the best to come to Nebraska City for Arbor Day,” said Pendrell.
“We'd need to find other Chambers to
partner with, but there is a lot of momentum behind the event and it makes
for a nice little fundraiser,” he added.
“We had a number of bars come to the
event only to scout it out for next year.”
town as being the senior vice
president and board member of
Farmers Bank & Trust Co. for 31
years.
Marcotte, who was a finalist
for the city clerk-treasurer position, said the recent sale of Farmers Bank to Premier Bank is a
great opportunity for him to make
this step.
"Working for my father, and
our family business, has been rewarding. Gaining the friendships
and trust from customers and
the business community has allowed me to enjoy a thriving
community," Marcotte wrote in
his cover letter.
"With the recent sale of our
family business, the opportunity
as City Clerk-Treasurer would
allow me to continue to be a big
part of this community. Along
with my existing memories, with
your consideration, I look forward
to a front row seat to view the
future of Nebraska City."
He feels fortunate to have
grown up in Nebraska City and
considers it "the best community
in the state of Nebraska." His
childhood memories of riding
bikes with his friends at Arbor
Lodge, swimming at the pool and
playing golf at Wildwood Golf
Course were the reasons why he
decided to stay and raise a family
in his hometown.
"Nebraska City provides an
amazing education for my children, and a safe place for them
to make the same memories I
made over the years," he wrote
in his letter. "I want to continue
raising my kids here and working
in this exceptional community."
He said being a longtime resident and his banking experience
makes him and ideal candidate
for the city clerk-treasurer position.
"I am a longtime resident of
Nebraska City with many wonderful relationships in the community," he said. "Also, my banking background with experience
dealing with customers would
make for an easy transition into
the position."
Marcotte has a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration and business management from Peru State College in
Peru.
Marcotte said he felt good about
the interview Tuesday morning.
"I appreciate the opportunity
to be a part of the interview
process and hope I am chosen as
the city's next clerk-treasurer,"
he said.
Taylor was the final candidate
to be interviewed for the city
clerk-treasurer position.
Taylor has been the assistant
office manager for the Board of
Public Works in Auburn for seven
years. She said that one of the
reasons she's interested in the
position is because she enjoys a
challenge.
"I love working in public administration and am seeking a
more challenging position," she
said.

and inner workings of local government," she wrote. "I am an
extremely quick learner, detailoriented and possess an excellent,
strong work ethic."
She said the interview went
well and she enjoyed meeting
Nebraska City's new mayor and
the commissioners.

said. "It would be a great pleasure
working with them."

DIARY OF A DAD
Working together, sharing
makes visions come to fruition
Shall We Dance?
Bill Davis, right, takes his wife, Betty Davis, for a
spin during a Shall We Dance Spring Fling event at
Morton Place in Nebraska City April 16. Ballroom
dance instructor Lance McCord taught residents
and guests how to do many ballroom dances - including the fox trot, swing and waltz - to the bigband sounds of Glenn Miller.

“They came with a vision.”
Those are the words
carved out of the wood at
the bottom of the large
wood structure on the wall
of the cafeteria in Nebraska City Middle School.
You should really check
it out, but make sure you
check in with Joan at the
office first.
The large art piece depicts the first settlers here
in the Nebraska Territory.
In the stories I hear
about those first trailblazers, those pioneers that
crossed the Missouri River, set up homesteads, and
planted the seeds that today is Nebraska City I
hear a call to risk.
We all have a vision,
some big, some small.
Some have dreams of
making it big on Broadway; some have dreams
of finding their next meal.
We all have visions.
We have visions for our
lives, our careers, our children, and, sometimes, we
have a vision for our community.
I certainly have had visions for my life.
I will tell you that none
of them involved me being
a pastor in Nebraska.
In fact, most of my
friends from high school
are surprised that a) I’m
REV. GREG BOLT
alive and b) I’m a pastor.
Most of my visions involved me playing outfield
for the Atlanta Braves.
It’s funny how our vision gets molded and
shifted, gets reshaped as
we move along the journey of life.
Through the ups and
downs, the victories and
losses, the joy and pain.
I have a vision for my
kids, they will be kind,
they will be responsible,
they will do well in school,
they will go to a good college, they will succeed
where I have failed.
The problem with that
vision for my kids is that
it’s not their vision.
Now, I as their parent,
have some say in a few of
those, but what they want
to be, who they want to
be will, ultimately, be up
to them to figure out for
themselves.
We will have to work
together to mold and
shape their vision and my
vision so that it can be
our vision as a family, our
vision as members of the
community in which we
live.
I think sometimes we
forget that our personal
vision does not occur in a
vacuum.
It involves other people,
it involves cooperation, it
involves molding and
shifting, reshaping and
redirecting, it involves
time and energy.
Unfortunately, I think
we may have lost that
piece of the vision process.
The piece that involves
working together to make
a better vision.
I have a vision for this
community. I even have
a platform in which to
share that vision, but my
vision is incomplete.
I know there a lot of
people with their own vision for our community;
I know there are even
some people that share
the same vision for our
community; but they are
still missing something.
The missing piece is the
fact that individuals and
groups don’t share their
visions with others that
might have a different vision. We need to talk in
order to mold and shape
our visions together to
seek the welfare of the
community.
Maybe, if we could do
that, if we could work together to do the hard work
that is the work of real
community in another 150
years there will be a piece
of art seen by hundreds
of children reminding
them that when their ancestors were here “They
came with a vision.”
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: Standing in
the rain, getting a chance
to smile and wave at all
the participants in the Arbor Day Parade. It was
an honor to serve on the
Arbor Day Committee this
year.
Not Favorite: There
were two U6 soccer games
scheduled at the same
time and our game was
played on a field marked
out by cones without lines
or goals. There was a hole
big enough to fit a soccer
ball that almost broke my
ankle. We need more
fields.

Lewis and Clark Center
unveils new interactive
Sandy Parmenter
[email protected]
Visitors to the Lewis and
Clark Missouri River Basin
Visitors Center on Arbor
Day weekend got to try
their hands at their new
interactive exhibit, steering a pirogue up the Missouri River.
David Beck, a professor
from the University of
Wisconsin-Stout and frequent visitor to the Center
came up with the idea for
the interactive exhibit and
asked the Center if they'd
like him to create the oneof-a-kind video game for
them.
Now visitors can stand
aboard the pirogue, with
tiller in hand, steering and
watching the screen in
front of them, which realistically portrays the
sights, sounds, and impressions of what it would
have been like to navigate
the boat up the Missouri
River in 1804.
The person manning the
tiller has to steer the boat
up the channel, avoiding
snags and accidental
grounding, and steering
close enough to shore to
pick up three bags of food
hunters left behind. The
eventual destination is a
campsite 15 miles upstream.
According to Doug
Friedli, Program Director
at the Center, it took Beck
and his students about
one year to create the interactive game, and it was
just difficult enough that
most people might not
make it all the way to the
campsite without grounding or hitting a snag. To
make it from the beginning all the way to the
campsite would take about
seven minutes.

GAR experience takes
visitors back 150 years
Sandy Parmenter
[email protected]
David Wells, vice president and historian at the
Grand Army of the Republic Museum, acted as
docent and time travel
guide in leading Arbor
Day visitors through exhibits and back in time
on Saturday.
It’s been 150 years since
the conclusion of the Civil
War, but Wells did his
best to make it seem like
the war ended just yesterday by walking around the
Museum with visitors,
showing them Civil War
era uniforms, weapons,
artillery, music and medical equipment, and asking
them to imagine themselves in that era.
For the younger visitors
the museum had just
added children's costumes
that they could try on and
they took turns becoming
Northern or Southern soldiers or women/children
from that time period.
Wells said he likes to
get children interested and
involved in the subject and
make it more interactive
to engage them. He said
children are amazed and
amused when he tells
them that as long as they
could walk and see, had
all their fingers and at
least two teeth (one top
and one bottom), they
could have been soldiers
in the Civil War.
For students and older
visitors, volunteers in the
museum are more than
happy to talk about the
origin of the G.A.R. Hall
and Nebraska's role in the
Civil War, as well as life
and times during the Civil
War and after.
The large diorama of
Pickett's Charge makes a
good focal point for a vivid
description of how and
why that battle took place,
and what went wrong for
the South, and helps visitors actually picture the
event.
Wells said they were also
adding video footage of
that battle from the movie
"Gettysburg" to the Museum's attractions, to further stir the imagination
and interest of visitors.
Friedli and Brian Volkmer loaned their voice talents to the production and
can be heard as part of
the interaction during the
trip upstream.
The Center was excited
to get this exhibit up and
running and dedicated it
to the "explorers of all
ages." The children present on Saturday lined up
for their chance to steer
the boat, taking multiple
turns, and several of the
adults looked like they'd
like to give it a try if nobody would see them
crash.
Friedli and Erv Friesen,
General Manager of the
Center, expect this exhibit
to continue to be a big
draw to visitors and look
forward to sharing it with
area students when they
come to tour the Lewis
and Clark Missouri River
Basin Visitors Center.
Thanks to hard work by
local residents, downtown
Nebraska City got a fresh
look just in time for Arbor
Day.
As part of the Great
American Clean Up sponsored by the Keep America
Beautiful campaign and
organized by the Nebraska
City Tourism and Commerce Community Development Committee, citizens gathered in downtown Nebraska City on
Wednesday, April 22, to
collect litter and clean the
bump outs.
“I always enjoy participating in this,” said
Stephanie Farmer. “It is
one day you know you are
part of a collective effort
to clean up and beautify
your historic community.”
Nebraska City has participated in the national
event for many years. Previously, teams have volunteered to beautify the
entrances to Nebraska
City, local parks, and Arbor Lodge. The event normally takes place in the
weeks preceding Arbor
Day.
Erika Simpson spent
most of her afternoon
weeding a bump out at
the corner of 7th Street
and Central Avenue.
“I think it is great to
walk downtown and see
a beautiful space,” Simpson said. “If you make it
pretty, you can see all the
care people put into the

From 5 to 8 p.m. customers could enjoy allyou-can-eat spaghetti with
garlic bread and one hour
of bowling.
Some of the customers
said they were there to
load up on spaghetti for
the next day's running
event, but most were just
there for the fun of it, and
everyone said the spaghetti
was great.
The early portion of the
evening was dominated
by families, with many
young children starting
out by lining balls up on
bowling ramps and others
free throwing the bowling
balls all by themselves.
Bumpers were up on
many of the lanes, and
more pins stood then fell,
but it didn't seem to matter to the children.
Live folk, country and
bluegrass music was provided by Laurie Fraser and
Paul Baker of "Common
Ground," and they were
kind enough to allow some
of the children to help accompany them with maracas and a tambourine.
From 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.,
it was Cosmic Bowling
time, with two hours of
bowling and one free soda,
water or domestic beer,
and it was the adults' time
to come out and play.

After a rainy Saturday,
the Sunday of Arbor Day
weekend dawned bright
and sunny, perfect for the
annual Fly-In Breakfast.
A fundraiser sponsored by
the Nebraska City Jaycees,
the breakfast has been a
popular Arbor Day event
for over 50 years.
This year, pilot Kent
Dorste of Auburn was the
first one to land at the
Nebraska City Municipal
Airport four miles south
of town. Dorste touched
down just before 8 a.m.
and was treated to complimentary pancakes and
ham. Laura Liesemeyer
of the Nebraska City
Jaycees organization said
it is a tradition to serve
pilots and their passengers
free of charge.
More than two dozen
planes landed at the airport during the course of
the Fly-In Breakfast. They
came from throughout
southeast Nebraska, including Omaha and Lincoln, and also southwest
Iowa and northwest Missouri. In addition to
breakfast, the pilots show
off their planes to the general public and are available for questions.
Over 300 adults and
children joined the Jaycees
and the pilots for breakfast.

KHN exhibit educates
public on honey bee
Tammy Partsch
Special to the News-Press
The Kimmel Harding
Nelson Center for the Arts
in Nebraska City unveiled
a new exhibit last week
and it already has people
buzzing.
The “BEE-NEFIT” by
Ashley Ryba of Lincoln is
an interactive installation
featuring 200 ceramic
hexagon cells arranged like
a honeycomb. Ryba, who
was a resident artist at the
KHN last fall, created her
project to educate the public about the plight of the
honey bee.
“The honey bee is our
state insect and it is really
relevant to our area,” Ryba
said. “They pollinate a
third of what we eat and
are a multi-billion dollar
industry, but their declining numbers is alarming.”
Ryba cites a 2006 report
that indicated large
amounts of honey bees
were disappearing. Scientists have not exactly
pinpointed the source of
the problem, but possibilities include increased use
of insecticides and a decrease of habitat. Ryba
said she started developing
the project as she was pondering the criteria for the
Kimmel
Foundation
Emerging Artist Award,
which she won.
“I needed to submit an
idea that had to do with
Nebraska,” Ryba recalled.
The hexagon cells do not
have a specific function,
but are designed to be conversation starters about
the importance of bees.
The cells are displayed
on the gallery floor at the
KHN. Visitors are asked
to take a cell home with
them, along with a packet
of seeds. While the exhibit
is scheduled to remain at
the KHN until May 22,
Ryba said the project will
end when all the cells are
taken.
The KHN Center for the
Arts in Nebraska City is
free and open to the public
Monday through Friday,
10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Pioneers drop dual
to Brownell-Talbot
Julie Mancini
[email protected]
The Nebraska City
girls’ tennis team lost
its home dual against
Brownell-Talbot/Concordia, 8-1, Monday at
the courts in Steinhart
Park.
Evy Causgrove and
Kendra
McGinnis
scored the team’s sole
victory, the No. 1 doubles match, at 8-5, according to head coach
Dan Holmberg.
The No. 2 doubles
team of Lais Baptista
Barbosa and Magen
Jorgensen fought hard,
but lost their match 98.
“I thought we might
be able to scrape together a couple more
points in singles,” said
Holmberg, “but their
players are fundamentally sound in every aspect of the game, but
we couldn't find many
weaknesses to take advantage of.
“I think we have a
good lineup,” he continued, “but Brownell
was the better team”
on Monday.
The Pioneers’ dual
record now is 3-3. The
team played Beatrice
at home on Thursday,
followed by two road
matches: one against
Gross Catholic on
Monday and one
against Wilber-Clatonia on Tuesday.
Look for results of
those matches in a future issue of the NewsPress.
Pioneer rally powered
by eight run seventh
Julie Mancini
[email protected]
The Nebraska City baseball team rallied for eight
runs in the seventh inning
and held on to beat Crete
12-8 Tuesday in a nonconference game at Tuxedo Park in Crete.
Bret Kochanowicz got
the win, pitching six innings and giving up six
hits and four earned runs.
Kochanowicz also struck
out six and walked two.
“We did a good job of
putting pressure on Crete
from the start,” said head
coach Tom Bales. “Bret
threw a very good game
and we hit the ball fairly
well.”
The Pioneers collected
11 hits in the game. Chris
Monaghan hit a double,
scored a run and had three
RBIs. Sheridan Silvius
went 2-for-3 with a double
and two RBIs, and Noah
Kasbohm went 2-for-3
and scored two runs.
“We responded well
when they came back and
tied the game in the sixth
inning and put up an eight
spot in the seventh,” said
Bales. “And it was needed
because they really battled
back in the bottom of the
seventh to give us a run
for our money.”
Kestyn Lee came on in
the seventh to shut down
the Cardinals’ rally. Lee
gave up three hits and one
earned run, while striking
out one.
On Monday, the Pioneers lost 14-0 to Beatrice
in a non-conference game.
They were limited to two
hits by Orangemen pitchers: a double by Kestyn
Lee and a single by Sheridan Silvius.
The Pioneers played
Falls City Thursday at
Clemmy Holmes Field.
Look for results of that
game in a future issue of
the News-Press.

NC opens districts Tuesday
Julie Mancini
[email protected]
The Nebraska City soccer teams’
conference play ended Tuesday
night as Elkhorn South teams shut
out the Pioneers in Eastern Midlands Conference play.
The Pioneers girls’ team lost
10-0 after beating Bennington 3-1
at home on Monday night to advance in the conference tournament.
Nebraska City will play Waverly
at 5 p.m. Tuesday in the district
tournament at Plattsmouth.
On Monday, Beki Warga was the
first to score off an assist by Presley
Marth with 12 minutes left to go in
the first half, said head coach Brian
Hoover.
Warga scored the second goal of
the game with an assist by Kaili
Little, and Marth scored the third
goal off an assist by Cloey Allgood.
Bennington scored with less than
10 minutes left in the game.
“Tessa Kinart and Brooke Knapp
continue to shine on the offensive
side of the ball.” said Hoover. “Due
to their constant work, they create
chances for us time and time again.
Emily Warden continues to improve
and provided us with several corner
kicks in the first half.”
The boys’ team lost 5-0 Tuesday
to Elkhorn South, the No. 3 team
in the state.
“We ended up No. 7 in the Eastern
Midlands Conference out of nine
teams,” said head coach Jessica
Cloey Allgood provided an assist that led to the third goal in Monday’s
3-1 win over Bennington.

our district will be Platteview, Omaha Gross and Plattsmouth.” She
added that the winner of districts
will play in a sub-state match for a
chance to qualify for the state tournament.
Golfers face tough course at Beatrice
Julie Mancini
[email protected]
The Nebraska City golf
team finished 11th out of
12 teams at the Beatrice
Invitational at Beatrice
Country Club Monday.
“It was a disappointing
day,” said head coach Scott
Kinnison. “Our team result was not what we had
envisioned, and a lot of
that was the course. It is
the toughest one we play
on all year and our scores
showed that.”
The course exposed the
team’s inconsistency, said

ASK AMY
Hubby’s jealousy is on the rise
DEAR AMY: I’ve been married to my husband for close to
two years, and we are happy,
although we have our ups and
downs like other couples.
When we were dating and
engaged, he had a little problem
with jealousy, and I thought it
would tone down after we were
married.
Now, two years in, his jealousy
seems to have gotten worse. He
keeps tabs on my whereabouts
and social media, and he ignores
me if I talk to another man.
He has to be in constant
contact when I’m out with my
girlfriends. I’ve never cheated,
or even given him the idea that I
was interested in another man.
I don’t want to leave him, I just
wish I knew what I could do to
help him feel more secure about
our relationship.
Is it time to bring up the idea
of a trial separation to spend
some time apart while he works
on this? — Discouraged Wife
DEAR DISCOURAGED: If
your husband is growing more
GASOLINE ALLEY
THE MIDDLETONS
Amy Dickinson

possessive and jealous as time
goes on, it does not bode well for
the health of your relationship
long term.
Some spouses and partners
gaslight their significant others
into believing that jealousy and
surveillance are signs of love and
deep attachment. They aren’t. In
fact, they convey the opposite of
love. This behavior is pathological. It says everything about your
husband’s insecurities and the
lengths to which he will go to
tamp down his anxiety.
I don’t believe your husband’s
behavior will improve without
concentrated professional help.
He should understand that your
marriage is on the line — and
yes, a separation while you both
seek counseling sounds like a
good idea.

Your year orbits around home
and family. You’re growing your

before June 14, and implementation after. Slow down around

fun and romance as well as introspective discovery. Release old
baggage and clutter. Prioritize love.
Set your spirit free.

statements. Your work is getting
more very interesting over the
next three weeks, with Mercury in
Gemini.

see past the hype to the fundamental truths of a situation. Pisces
(Feb. 19-March 20) — It’s easier
to express yourself at home for the
next few weeks, with Mercury in
Gemini. Talk with family.
