The Syracuse Rescue Service recently received a $2500 windfall thanks to a local resident.
Syracuse resident Letha Buchholz was selected as the winner for the America’s Farmers Grow Communities, a national program
sponsored by the Monsanto Fund. The program supports farming communities by offering farmers the opportunity to enter to win
a $2,500 donation for their favorite community charity. Recipients could include FFA,
4-H, schools or other civic organizations
such as hospitals, fire department or food
pantry. The program is available in 1,324
counties across 40 states.
Eligible farmers are 21 years or older, and
actively engaged in farming at least 250
acres of corn, soybeans and/or cotton, or
farm 40 acres of open field vegetables, or at
least 10 acres of tomatoes, peppers and/or cucumbers grown in protected culture. No pur-

The Monsanto Fund, the nonprofit philanthropic arm of the Monsanto Company has
a mission to strengthen the farm communities where farmers and Monsanto Company
employees live and work. For five years,
America’s Farmers Grow Communities has
collaborated with farmers to donate over
$16.5 million to over 7,300 community organizations across rural America. This year
winning farmers will direct another $3.3
million to nonprofits to help fight rural
hunger, purchase life saving fire and EMS
equipment, support ag youth leadership programs, buy much needed classroom resources,
and so much more.
America’s Farmers Grow Communities is
part of the America’s Farmers initiative. Since
2010, the America’s Farmers campaign and
programs have advocated on behalf of farmers and their efforts to meet society’s needs
through agriculture. Today, consumers are
more interested than ever in agriculture and
how food is grown. Learn more at FoodDialogues.com.

Scheinost says volunteering
with rescue squad satisfying

chase is necessary to enter or win.
Buchholz said that when deciding on where
to direct the donation, she thought of the rescue service and their value to the community. Her family has needed their assistance a
few times, and she said she wanted to support
them through this donation.
Syracuse Rescue Squad Chief Tim Antes
said that the funds will be used for updating
some training equipment.
“We haven’t updated that equipment in
years, and it’s outdated. We are still away from
our goal, but this funding was a huge jump
start to what we need. The donation on our
end was a complete surprise. We send many
thanks to Letha for thinking of us for this
award. With these funds we can keep our
skills up to date and ready for use,” said
Antes.
The funds will be used to purchase mannequins for practicing ventilation levels.
They will also be used in county-wide EMS
classes and public education courses in CPR
and first aid.
In honor of National EMS Week May 17-23,
the Syracuse Journal Democrat will highlight
one Syracuse Volunteer Rescue Squad member
each week in May.
After years away from the Syracuse Rescue
Squad, Marcia Scheinost returned. She’s glad
that she did. Scheinost was a member of the rescue squad over 20 years ago. However, when
she moved out into the country, she was too far
to continue serving.
Two years ago, once living in the City of Syracuse, she decided to rejoin the volunteer rescue
service. At first, Scheinost wasn’t sure if she
wanted to go back, but after seeing they were
short of volunteers, she rejoined.
Scheinost said she always wanted to be a
nurse and that this was a good alternative for
her to be involved in taking care of people.
She said the most rewarding part of volunteering is helping the patients. “When you get
there and they see you’re there to help them a lot of them you just see relief like who else am
I going to call?” she said.
“Without the rescue squad, some of these people don’t have family close. It’s kind of cool to
help them.”
Since Syracuse is a small town, Scheinost said
it’s especially fulfilling that she gets to see those
patients later. Many times, she will respond to
a neighbor, a friend, or a friend’s parents.
Weeks later, she often will run into them and
see that they’re recovering.
Scheinost’s certification as an EMT took six
months and included a weekly evening class
along with every other Saturday.
Before beginning the class, around 160 hours
total, , she received training on CPR and AED.
”Things have changed considerably over the
last 25-30 years,” said Scheinost.
Scheinost said the class included a lot of
hands-on situations, but it also took a commitment to studying the information. At the
end of the class, Scheinost said was nervous
when she took a State test to become certified.
She said the test was very difficult, but thanks
to her hard work and commitment she was able
to pass and officially become an EMT.
Scheinost was recently voted as Steward of
the Syracuse Rescue Service. She now has the
responsibility of facility upkeep and maintaining the equipment.
This includes making sure the ambulances
are up on scheduled maintenance, like oil
changes, and stocked with batteries, oxygen, and
other supplies.
The hardest part of volunteering, Scheinost
said, has been that the fact that more volunteers
are still needed. With 20 members, Scheinost
said they’re on call more than if they could spread
that out to others. Currently, volunteers are on
call one evening a week and one weekend a
month. Scheinost said, If people are even a little bit interested, they should, even if they’re afraid
to check it out because they don’t know people
on the squad or don’t think they can do it.
“It’s worth checking into because I felt the
same way,” said Scheinost.
Justin Damme, a sophomore from
Cook, was one of three Concordia University, Nebraska students won Student
Project Showcase awards at the Nebraska GIS/LIS Symposium, which
was hosted by the Nebraska GIS/LIS
Association and was held April 14-16 in
La Vista. Daniel Moore won first place,
Alayna Daberkow earned second place
and Damme took third place with their
research projects.
"I was not only proud of the quality
of the work and how each student prepared and presented their research but
also on how they handled themselves
professionally," said Concordia's Professor of Geography Joel Helmer. "My
students put forth a great amount of effort and time on their projects, and this
was their opportunity to share and discuss their work with geographic information systems professionals from
across Nebraska."
Damme's third place project compared the distribution of food from
the Lincoln Community Food Bank
with demographic data from the U.S.
Census Bureau.
Helmer took students in his Introduction to Geographic Information
Systems class and Advanced Geographic
Information Systems class to the symposium to present original research
poster projects.

S-D-A students selected
as delegates for boys’ state
The Syracuse American Legion MassieRichards Post 100 is
sponsoring Ethan Orchard and Braxtyn DeGolyer to attend the 2015
Cornhusker Boys State
session from May 31 to
June 6.
The Syracuse Sons of
The American Legion
Squadron 100 is sponsoring Wyatt Petersen’s
attendance at this year’s
Boys State session as well.
In addition, Post 100 is
sponsoring the attendance of Trevor Clark to
attend the 2015 session of
the Jr. Law Academy
which will be held June 15
-19 at the Nebraska Law
Enforcement Training
Center in Grand Island.
All four attend Syracuse-
Dunbar-Avoca
High
School.
American Legion Cornhusker Boys’ State is an
annual citizenship program, sponsored by the
Nebraska American Legion and is designed to
provide youths with a better understanding of how
city, county and state governments operate.
Each boy is sponsored
by an organization, such
as an American Legion
Post, or by some other
patriotic, civic, fraternal,
or religious group in cooperation with the local
American Legion Post.
American Legion Cornhusker Boys’ State is set
up as a functional “51st
state” and each boy learns
how government subdivi-
sions operate by actually
doing the job.
Participants will campaign for offices, hold
elections, take part in
band and chorus, compete in athletics and be involved in other varied activities as part of the citizenship training program.
They will set up their
own state government
and draft bills.
Special lectures and addresses wil be delivered by
experienced public officials and professional
leaders including Governor Pete Ricketts and
Supreme Court Justice
John M. Gerrard.
National acclaimed motivational speaker JoAnne
Owens-Nauslar is scheduled to address the group.
Summer upgrades have
been approved for several
areas of the Syracuse-Dunbar-Avcoa schools.
Superintendent Brad
Buller received bids for replacing two sections of the
High School roof. One of
them needed immediate
attention, and it was decided that the other one
did not need replacement
this summer. A bid from
Weathercraft of $57,987
was approved to replace
the oldest portion of the
roof.
Carpeting has been replaced in sections over the
last several years in the
high school and elementary school. The carpet
will be replaced in the upstairs south and west hallways at the high school,
and the upstairs hallway in
the elementary school will
also be replaced.
The heating unit will be
replaced for the administration offices and teacher
break-room at the elementary building. The existing unit is over 20 years
old. Currently, they have
one thermostat for the entire area. However, ac-
cording to Superintendent Buller, this makes it
difficult to adequately control the temperature in the
inside, windowless rooms
compared to the rooms on
the outside walls of the
building.
Siemens Industry submitted a bid for $12,320 to
replace the heating unit
and rooftop condenser and
continuing with only one
thermostat. In order to install three thermostats,
there would be an additional charge of $8,355.
Trane Building Services
bid of $11,500 was approved with a two thermostat system that would
allow the superintendent’s
office to have separate controls from the principal’s
office. They did not bid a
one thermostat system,
and to add a third thermostat for the lounge area
was verbally given as an
additional $4000.
The S-D-A School District will be selling some
miscellaneous equipment.
This includes lockers,
kitchen equipment, desks,
and other various items
that have accumulated
over the years. A price list
will be created, and then
the items will be offered to
the public.
Preschool tuition for
Syracuse Public Schools
will remain the same for
the 2015-2016 school year.
Currently, the cost is $50
monthly (or $25 monthly
for children who qualify
for free and reduced lunches). A substantial portion
of the cost of preschool is
subsidized.
Superintendent Brad
Buller commented that
they might want to consider adding another section (half day class) of preschool at some point in
the future. The waiting list
fills up fast - many people
put their names on the list
years before the children
are old enough to attend.
Carolyn Volkmer has
been a Science Teacher in
Syracuse for the last 10
years. The school board
accepted her resignation
effective the end of the
school year due to her retirement. Adjustments will
be made within current
staff, and they plan to hire
a new teacher.
The school board went
into executive session in
order to discuss collective
bargaining and salary
schedule for the upcoming
school year.

The Jump Rope for
Heart event at S-D-A Elementary and S-D-A Middle School Physical Education classes K-6 was a
success!
From March 23-April 3,
students at the two schools
jumped all over heart disease and stroke by participating in Jump Rope For
Heart during Physical Education Class. The students
raised more than $6,000 +
for the American Heart
Association, which funds
research, programs and
education to fight heart
disease and stroke, our nation’s No. 1 and No. 4
killers.
“I’m so pleased with the
success of this year’s event,”
said Jeremy Goebel said
physical education teacher
and Jump Rope for Heart
coordinator. “”We all had a
lot of fun, and the kids enjoyed learning about the
importance of physical activity and how they can
play a role in saving lives.”
Jump Rope For Heart is
a program that promotes
physical activity and heart
health through jumping
rope. It is co-sponsored by
the American Heart Association and SHAPE
America-Society of Health
and Physical Educators.
Mallory Mueller, fourth
grade student at Syracuse
Middle School, was one of
many students who raised
money.
She said, “I thought it
was important to help kids
that need the money to get
new hearts and a transplant.
“It was really fun because it will help kids in
need, and jumping rope
in class was super fun!”
Third grade student
Shannon Moerer said she
thought it was important
“because the money we
raised will help people with
heart problems. It also
was a way to help me get
healthier. I thought it was
really fun to jump rope
during PE. My friends and
I also jumped raope during
recess. I liked to win prizes
for getting donations.”

77, of Gretna
Allen Ray
Swede
Spangler, age 77 of Gretna,

Allen, son of Wilson and
Clara (Miller) Spangler,
was born Sept. 5, 1937, in
Callaway.
He attended elementary
school at Redfern District

home, he worked with his
father on the family farm
in Custer County south of
Callaway. In 1960, he
joined the Custer Public
Power District as a serviceman and lineman.
Starting in the fall of
1966, Allen started studying electrical engineering
at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln.
He earned his Bachelor
of Science degree in Electrical Engineering in June
1970.
After receiving his degree, Allen accepted a position with the Omaha

Allen retired from OPPD
as the Manager of the Syracuse Center.
Allen was an active

church including Administrative Board Chairperson and treasurer.
Allen was a great role
model not only for his
nieces and nephews but
also his little brothers from
the Big Brother Big Sister
of the Midlands. He was
such a selfless Christian
person who quite often put
others first.
He thoroughly enjoyed
attending many of his family s events, often traveling
from one end of the state to
the other. He could always
be counted on to supply
M&M s to enjoy while
watching the event.
Allen was a lifelong
Husker fan, holding season
tickets and attending a
wide variety of sporting
events through the years.
He started with football
season tickets in the early
1960’s.
In leisure time, the hobbies he enjoyed were bowling, golfing, jigsaw puzzles, attending sporting
events (anything Husker
and NASCAR) and working in his gardens on his
acreage near Gretna.
He had quite a collection
of Husker memorabilia
that he obtained through
the years.
Allen was preceded in
death by his parents, Wilson and Clara Spangler.
He is survived by his brother Irvin Spangler and wife
Gladys of Callaway, brother Dean Spangler and wife
Carol of Oconto, sister

Time to evaluate your trees’ health
Gary Lesoing
Extension Educator
With recent some spring
rains and some warmer
temperatures in recent
weeks, you may be thinking about your landscape
and trees.
How did your coniferous
trees make it through the
winter?
If you have trees that
have been damaged by
wind or ice or they are just
over grown, it would be
wise to prune them if you
haven’t already.
If you have had problems with your trees in the
past with insects and/or
diseases, it is important to
evaluate them this spring
to see if they look healthy.
The last few years have
been very hard on a number of coniferous trees.
Dry and hot weather and
sometimes the addition of
other disease and insect
problems put a lot of stress
on the trees and some didn’t survive.
The variability in temperatures and rapid drop
to cold temperatures last
fall may have damaged
some trees, plus the combination of cold temperatures and strong winds
have also taken their toll on
some smaller coniferous
trees.
If you have not yet
checked your trees out this
spring, you should check
day, April 29, 2015, from
10-11 a.m. at TimmReynolds-Love Funeral
Home in Callaway.
Graveside Service with
Military Honors was to be
Wednesday, April 29, 2015,
at 11 a.m. at Rose Hill
Cemetery in Callaway with
Reverend Chad Boling officiating.
Timm-Reynolds-Love

COURTEOUS COMMENTS
This weekend
should be epic
A draft, a movie and a
major boxing match.
It all happens this week
and the SportsGuy is pretty revved up about all of it.
Thursday kicks it off in
prime time as the NFL
conducts its annual draft.
That event lasts Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The location is a new
one as the draft will be
coming to us from Chicago instead of New York,
but its the same show with
the nation’s bright college
stars finding out where
they’ll play their professional ball.
In many ways, this event
is a review of the last four
seasons of college football
in terms of the development of these athletes.
It’s a time for college
fans to well up with pride
at the selection of their
players to the NFL and it’s
a time for NFL fans to well
up with anticipation about
what the drafted players
might bring to the table
this fall.
The intrigue is found at
the top of the board as debate goes on about the No.
1 pick and it goes all the
way to the final pick on
Saturday, Mr. Irrelevant.
Don’t like football.
Maybe you like movies.
Friday debuts the next in
the Marvel series with
Avengers: Age of Ultron.
And, yes, this writer is a
big fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
James Spader voices the
baddy in this latest edition of the movie. And we
are hearing that the
Avengers roster could look
very different by the end of
the film.
I prepped myself Saturday night with a review of
the first Avengers movie.
Needless to say, I am
chomping at the bit to see
KIRT MANION
the new flick and beyond.
I say beyond because
fans will be just as interested to see the post credits scene as they will be to
see some of the scenes in
the actual movie.
Of course the weekend
also includes the much anticipated Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao fight. These guys
have been going at it verbally for years. Both are
great boxers, so a good
fight seems to be a fair
bet.
But this is boxing, and, of
course, people tune in to
see the spectacle as much
as the bout.
The walk ups, announcements of the fighters, the meeting at the center of the ring for referee
instructions, and, finally,
the fight, which sometimes
lasts quite a bit lest than
the other items on that
list.
I am going the sports
bar route for fight venue. A
30-second fight is disappointing.
A 30-second fight for
$100 pay-per-view fee—
don’t think so.
It’s rare that a non-football weekend gets me so
excited. And, with it being
only April, that’s a greatgreat-great thing.
POSITIVE APPROACHES
Safety trumps
promotions
As an author I attend a
lot of events where I promote my books.
Recently I attended an
event where I walked
around for a few minutes
to stretch my legs.
I walked past a vendor of
a well-known brand company and they offered me a
small sample of a new “energy drink.”
“No thank you.” I said.
“Why not, it will boost your
energy and I saw you sitting at your booth looking
kind of sluggish.”
I explained that I have a
condition that I have
seizures frequently and I
have to be extremely careful of anything I consume
due to an onset of my
seizures.
The individual was very
demanding they wanted
to know my type of condition, name of my doctor,
my entire situation and so
on.
They tried to convince
me that their product was
all natural and that it was
completely safe and that I
should really try it for it
would make me feel so
much better and full of
energy.
I politely declined again
and said no thank you and
walked away, but this situation had me thinking that
this happens to often.
There are to many “professionals” selling these
aka “brand name natural
products” trying to persuade customers into buying their products when
SEPTEMBER JOURNEY
Crockett, Syracuse boy
embark on great bear hunt
Did you have a hero
when you were growing
up?
I would imagine your
age would have a great
deal to do with that answer.
I think my Dad and my
Grandfather Cook would
qualify to take the honor
of being my heroes. In my
mind they could do anything.
Of course, they couldn’t
leap tall buildings in a
single bound like Superman.
They couldn’t scale
walls like Spiderman but
they could certainly do
the everyday things fathers and grandfathers
needed to do to impress
me that indeed they had
superpowers.
I am so far behind the
times I’m not “up” on the
current qualifiers for hero
status today.
I’m certain they are out
there, though.
The love of Ken’s hero
when he was a very small
boy gave his parents the
worst fright of their lives
– up to that point!
Fess Parker was the actor that portrayed the famous and legendary Davey Crockett, I believe. At
PHYLLIS BUELL
any rate there was a series
of television shows that
entranced small boys
everywhere.
Ken was one of them.
He had a little “pop” gun
and a hat he thought
looked like a version of
Davey’s coonskin cap. He
had the hunting “bars”
(bears) thing down pat.
One evening his hunting
grounds got a little too
far away.
I thought Ken was in
the barn with Merle while
he was milking. Merle
thought he was with me in
the house. Instead, he was
on his own - hunting
bears!
Quite a bit of time had
passed before we realized
wherever he was, he was
not with us!
We didn’t panic for at
least 30 seconds as we
frantically searched for
him. We called and called
– but didn’t get an answer.
Sally, his little Toy Terrier
dog was also missing.
The farmstead on which
we lived near Syracuse
was on a hill which rose
sharply from the Nemaha
river bottom. The Little
Nemaha bordered the
north side of the farm. A
tributary ran through the
pasture on the south side.
Our minds raced with
the terrible possibilities
of what might have happened.
I ran to the house and
alerted the neighbors on
our party line. They
dropped whatever they
were doing and began
walking the creek banks.
I kept looking around the
yard, trying to stay close to
the phone in case anyone
found him.
Highway 50 was being
hard surfaced past the
farm. Merle thought perhaps Ken had gone to see
the big machines. He
climbed atop a fence and
tall fence post to see if he
could spot him.
With an excited yell
“There he is”, he jumped
down, tearing his shirt
and scraping his side on
the post.
All that could be seen
was a glimpse of a tiny
black and white dog occasionally jumping up
above the tall alfalfa field
where Ken was wandering.
I have forgotten details
of actually reaching him.
We hugged and kissed
him and cried in complete relief. No doubt, we
were ready to spank him
for frightening us so
much. At that time, the
searching neighbors converged at the scene. They
joined in on our happiness
at finding him safe and
sound.
Asked why and where
he was going he answered
“I was hunting bears”. Our
young Davey Crockett
surely must have thought
the alfalfa field was a tall
forest. The faithful little
dog stayed with him,
alerting us to his whereabouts that frightening
evening.
Occasionally I run
across a rerun of old Davey Crockett and wonder if
he still thrills little boys today as he did that long ago
spring evening.
If he does, I don’t imagine they will find many alfalfa fields to go hunting
“bars”. If they do, I hope
they have a little Sally dog
to keep them safe.
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Legislators will take up
budget packet on April 30
HOPE CRAGO
ultimately these products
may be doing their customers more harm than
good.
In my case, I already
knew the ingredients in
the product the individual was selling me and it
does contain an ingredient
that instantly triggers my
seizures.
For anyone who says
they are a professional
working for a company
selling a product that you
do have to consume please
keep in mind that many
people passing your booth
do have medical conditions or illnesses.
You tell children they
have to have a parents’
consent to try your product, well if a customer says
they have a medical condition maybe recommend
they consult with their
physician before they try
your product even though
they are an adult.
See CRAGO, page 9
The Appropriations
Committee completed its
work on their budget recommendations for the
next biennium, voting 9-0
to advance the recommendations to the full
Legislature.
The budget bills will be
placed on General File by
April 28, the 70th legislative day.
The Legislature will
take up the budget package on General File beginning April 30.
According to the Legislature’s rules, the appropriations bills must be
passed no later than the
80th legislative day, which
falls on May 14 this year.
The budget, amounting
to $8.7 billion, increases
state spending by an average of 3.1 percent over
the two-year period.
The increase in spending is noticeably lower
than the average 4.3 percent increase over that
past 20 years.
The budget package
does include the concept
contained in LB 364, the
bill that I introduced to
add an additional $60
DAN WATERMEIER
million annually for the
Property Tax Credit program, which provides direct property tax relief to
property owners.
A bill to strengthen the
Commercial Dog and Cat
Operator Inspection Act
was given first-round approval this past week.
The legislation adds a
definition of significant
threat to the health or
safety of dogs and cats.
Due to recent concern
regarding the inspection
and enforcement procedures for licensed facilities
by the Department of
Agriculture, the depart-
ment has updated their
rules and regulations.
The statutory definition
mirrors the department’s
regulations, clarifying that
the department’s inspectors may impound animals or ask law enforcement to impound animals,
if conditions pose a significant threat to the
health or safety of dogs or
cats.
The legislation also provides for non-lapsing licenses, eliminating the
difficulty the department
had in taking enforcement
actions against licensees
whose license had expired.
Furthermore, the bill
removes obstacles for
unannounced inspections
and authorizes the department to charge a reinspection fee and mileage
for reinspection trips to
determine if correction of
defects found in previous
inspections have been
completed.
As amended, LB 360
increases the annual license fee for breeders by
$25 for each license fee
category and imposes a
new annual fee in com-
mercial license fee categories of $2, times the
daily average, for dogs or
cats numbering more than
ten.
The legislation would
increase the annual dog
and cat license fee in cities,
counties and villages from
$1 to $1.25. These fee increases are necessary to
adequately fund the program. The Legislature also
gave first-round approval
to a bill containing many
of the recommendations
submitted by the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission.
The legislation seeks to
define hard cider as beer
instead of wine, allows retirement homes to apply
for liquor licenses, applies
the keg laws to all kegs
containing alcohol liquor,
allows retail licensees to
bottle and sell growlers,
and offers tax credits for
beer manufacturers to utilize local barley and hops.
As introduced, LB 330
repealed the mandatory
closing time for bars.
This provision was
stripped from the bill by
the committee amendments.
LB 330 gave the Liquor
Control Commission the
authority to regulate powdered alcohol.

Community Memorial Hospital Auxiliary
CMH reception recognizes
Hospital Auxillary volunteers
Community Memorial
Hospital held a reception
to recognize the commitment of the Hospital Auxiliary volunteers. In honor of Volunteer Appreciation Week, Auxiliary Members were invited to attend a reception in their
honor at the Syracuse
Country Club April 17.
Laura Lea Fossenbarger,
Director of Quality and
Community Outreach at
CMH, stated We are very
proud of all our volunteers
and sincerely thank them
for all they do. Since 2010,
our volunteers have
recorded over 35,550
hours to make the Auxiliary Thrift Store, hospital,
medical centers and community a better place for us
all. Also, tonight s announcement of reaching
over $500,000 in gross
sales since opening seven
years ago is a huge accomplishment that everyone
should be proud of - from
those dropping off donations to those spending
hours sorting, marking,
tagging, displaying items
and running the cash register, and customers shopping at the Thrift Store.
Many of those dollars have
been invested in to the
hospital and medical centers for technology, services, needed equipment, etc
so we stay at the forefront
of providing cutting edge,
excellent patient care for all
patients and families.
National Volunteer
Week, April 12-18, 2015, is
about inspiring, recognizing, and encouraging people to seek out imaginative
ways to engage in their
communities.
It’s about demonstrating that by working together, we have the fortitude to meet our challenges and accomplish our
goals.
Otoe County Museum
of Memories will hold an
open house Sunday, May 3
from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. beginning the summer visiting hours. The museum
will be open every Sunday
afternoon through September. Sunday hosts will
be Family and Community Extension (FCE), board
members and other volunteers are welcome.
New landscaping in the
west entrance area has
been completed with new
steps, decorative rock
around the sign and flag
area with an old wagon
wheel added.
New additions have been
a beautiful framed original
documented lithograph of
the Turlington farm and a
plat map showing the
Turlington area. Also re-
ceived is a framed full page
advertisement of Steve
Gately s win of the national wrestling crown in a
match staged in the former
Eagle hall in March of 1917.
Also on display are the
photos of all the business
owners in 1993 and 2003
graciously loaned to us by
Dr. Donald Sweat. Last
year s displays of 1973 and
1983 have been returned.
Brian Volkmer, director
of the Nebraska City Museum Association, has
made a kiosk for the
Kramer Memorial building
of some of the bird and animal calls. The museum is
also working on new signage for the display rooms.
This will be an ongoing
project.
Displays have been
changed including a Sat-
urday night bath by the
kitchen stove and mannequins in the parlor
dressed in confirmation
dresses among others.
The rotating display at
the Syracuse library is by
the Syracuse museum
showing various beaded
Indian works. The displays are changed every
six weeks with six of the
museums in Otoe County.
During the summer 51
visitors of the Niehart Tour
group of Iowa visited.
In addition to Sunday
visiting hours of 1:30 to
4:00 p.m. appointments
can be made by contacting
any board member. Board
members are Phyllis Witte,
Rose Garey, Gladys Vrana,
Lael Spaeth, Shirley Gilfert, Judy Moore and Linda Parde.
Vaccinating children on
time is the best way to protect them against 14 serious and potentially deadly
diseases before their second birthday. “The recommended immunization
schedule is designed to offer protection early in life,”
said Dr. Anne Schuchat,
Assistant Surgeon General and Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory
Diseases (NCIRD), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC),
“when babies are vulnera-
ble and before it’s likely
they will be exposed to diseases.”
Public health and medical experts base their vaccine recommendations on
many factors. They study
information about diseases
and vaccines very carefully to decide which vaccines
kids should get and when
they should get them for
best protection.
If you have questions,
call your child’s Medical
Provider or Southeast District Health Department at
(877)777-0424. To find out
when SEDHD is offering
immunization clinics in
your community, visit

year. There always seems
to be some infestations of
them around southeast
Nebraska each summer.
Bagworms are a pest
that we will probably have
to be aware of each year
and treat if needed. They
usually hatch in late May
or June at the earliest and
can also hatch later in the
summer.
With the variability in
temperatures we have had
this spring, it is difficult to
predict when they may be
hatching later this year.

Volunteering opportunities for retirees
Today's retirees recognize that an
active retirement tends to be more
rewarding than simply sitting around the
house, and that attitude is reflected in the
vast number of retirees who volunteer
with various nonprofit organizations and
other programs across the globe. The
following are a handful of volunteering
opportunities for those retirees who want
to give back and make the most of their
retirements.
Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit
organization that builds and repairs
homes for people in need. It has a
program titled "Care-A-Vanners" in
which volunteers typically spend two
weeks traveling around the United States
and Canada in rented RVs (retirees who
own RVs may be able to drive their own
vehicles) building and restoring homes.
Work with children
Many retirees, especially those
without grandchildren or who live far
away from their grandchildren, find
volunteering with children to be
especially rewarding. The opportunities
to work with kids are numerous, and
retirees can choose a volunteering
opportunity where their own life
experiences come in handy. For example,
retirees who worked in the medical field
might want to volunteer their time at a
local children's hospital, where they can
assist families as they cope with a child's
illness and spend time with the children
themselves, whether's it's tutoring sick
children, reading them stories or helping
them understand their illnesses.
Retirees with considerable experience
in the business world may want to work
with a mentoring program that matches
them up with career-minded youngsters.
Meals on Wheels
Retirees tend to have their mornings
and afternoons free, making them ideal
candidates to volunteer with programs
such as Meals on Wheels, a nonprofit
organization devoted to delivering
nutritious meals to those with limited
mobility who are unable to prepare their
own meals. The program delivers more
than one million meals per day across the
United States, and Canada has its own
meal delivery programs as well. Many
Meals on Wheels volunteers are retirees,
who can decide their level of
involvement upon volunteering.
Disaster relief
Disaster relief programs may be less
predictable than more routine volunteer
programs, but retirees often make great
volunteers at disaster relief sites. Unlike
working professionals who cannot travel
to disaster relief sites without ample
planning ahead of time, retirees often
find the flexibility of retirement allows
them to pitch in when an unforesee
natural disaster strikes and volunteers are
needed seemingly overnight. Many
disaster relief programs need volunteers
who are certified in CPR or have other
unique lifesaving skills, but even retirees
without such skills can help by handling
supplies or by comforting and assisting
survivors of natural disasters

The Syracuse-DunbarAvoca boys’ golf varsity
and junior varsity teams
won the Southern Invite at
the Wymore Country Club
April 22.
“The varsity and JV boys
played very well at Southern in sweeping both the
varsity and JV divisions
in the tournament,” said
co-coach John Agena.
“Varsity took first with the
champion of the tournament, Cameron Clark,
shooting a 74.”
Other varsity players
who played well were
Braxton Beach, 88; Britton
Lyon, 84; Logan Teten,
83; and Brendon Lyon,
91, added Agena.
“The JV players also
took first at Southern with
the JV champion Derek
Weiler, who shot an 86,”
said Agena. Placing fourth
was Monty Roberts with a
94, said Agena, and placing sixth was Pierce Agena
with a 95.
“The battle for varsity
spots will continue
through playoffs,” Agena
continued. “We have seven
to 10 players all within
strokes of each other vying
for the fifth varsity spot.
“I look for that spot to be
held by many different
players as we continue to
playoff,” he continued. “It
all depends on who is playing the best that week.
They are all so close.”
A day earlier, the Rockets’ JV teams placed second and fourth in a dual
against Lincoln Lutheran
at Syracuse Country Club.
Lincoln Lutheran’s first
JV team shot 183 for top
team honors, followed by
Syracuse’s 192 and 197.
Lincoln Lutheran’s second
JV squad placed fourth in
the competition with a
score of 226.
The JV 1 scores for Syracuse were as follows:
Derek Walker, 47; Pierce
Agena, 47; Monty Roberts,
49; Grant Hallstrom, 49;
and Trevor Hillman, 52.
Aaron Halvorsen won
the individual competition with a score of 39. The
rest of the JV 2 scores
were as follows: Jordan
Long, 49; Kobe Buller, 54;
Blake Zoller, 55; and
Ethan Zastera, 57.
“Our JV played really
well against Lincoln Lutheran in the dual,” said
Agena. “We are trying to
keep our depth with Syracuse golf and getting the
JV players experience
against other teams is critical in doing so.
“The more experience
they have the better, so
when they do take a varsity spot, it is not such an
overwhelming experience
for the boys at tournaments, “he added.
On Monday, the team
finished sixth at the Beatrice Invitational with a
team score of 380.
Cameron Clark won a card
playoff to take fourth place
in the individual competition with a score of 85.
The rest of the Rockets
team’s scores were as follows: Britton Lynch, 92;
Braxton Beach, 101; Derek
Weiler, 102; and Logan
Teten. 103.
“As a team, we took a
small step backwards at
Beatrice,” said Agena. “The
team struggled with the
fast greens after playing
two other courses where
the greens were not as
fast.
“We will work to correct the putting problem
and hope we handle fast
greens better in future
tournaments,” said Agena.
“The boys are still playing really good golf and we
are looking forward to the
tournaments to come,” he
added. “Cameron Clark
continued consistent play,
bringing home the fourth
place medal.”

way back, the interstate, and had supper
with Lisa Hartman, Bellevue, filling her

From page 4
Giving them your card is better than reading their
name in the obituary column in the Sunday paper due
to mis-hap from trying your product.
My advice to consumers is to not let a sales person persuade you into buying something you do not want to buy.
If they are being too pushy as I felt this individual was
being with me you have every right to take their card and
call and contact the company they work for. Chances are
that company does not want people of that nature representing their product to begin with.
My advice if you are a professional with one of these
companies is know your product and how it affects people with common medical conditions, please respect people’s privacy and if someone says no please respect their
decline of your product.
