LOURDES HOMECOMING Comprehensive Plan to be unveiled at Forum Tammy Partsch The News-Press Nebraska City’s proposed new comprehensive plan will be unveiled to the public at a town hall forum Wednesday night at the Rowe Safety Complex. The plan promises to be a bit different than normal ones. “Nebraska City’s comprehensive planning process is unique,” said Nebraska City Administrator Joe See Page B8 Johnson. “We are working not only with the Nebraska Department of Roads, Olsson Associates, and the planning company dPlanit, but we also have input from students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Architecture. The students will provide a fresh look at our community and provide goals and objectives that are less mainstream from seasoned city planners.” Johnson said typical comprehensive plans are produced by professional planners. “A comprehensive plan is an extremely important document that guides the future development of a city,” Johnson explained. “The process of collecting information, gaining input, and gathering materials will provide Nebraska City with a firm foundation for policy and action. It will allow Nebraska City to function more efficiently and effectively regarding land use, zoning, and subdivision regulations.” The proposed plan will offer a broad view of Nebraska City’s progress and change in the next 20 years and beyond. Plan developers take into consideration issues, assets, and opportunities found within the community.

Descendant of slave who passed through Mayhew Cabin found Sandy Parmenter [email protected] athy Briley, Vice-President for Mayhew Cabin, has been on a personal mission to find out more about some of the known slaves who passed through the Mayhew Cabin on their way to freedom. Briley was recently able to discover that two of the escaping slaves married after they reached freedom, and their names were Sam and Jane Harper. At the time of their flight from slavery with the assistance of John Brown and his men, the C slaves were taken to Windsor, Canada. Briley found Darryl Hogan, a direct descendant of Sam and Jane Harper, still living in Windsor. Brad Mayhew, Mayhew descendant and member of the Mayhew Cabin Museum Board, travelled to Windsor, Canada to meet Hogan. Hogan and his family have expressed interest in visiting the Mayhew Cabin some day, and the museum hopes to help facilitate that visit when they are ready. The search for information about the rest of the escaped slaves will continue in the meantime.

See REWARD, B8 Suspects sought in used cooking oil theft Nikki Carlson [email protected] A slippery trail of used cooking oil that was stolen from a local fast-food restaurant zigzagged across Nebraska City streets early on the morning of Sept. 29. City Public Properties Director Dan Giittinger said his crew used about 50 bags of floor dry, or oil dry, to soak up the used cooking oil. "I would compare it to driving on ice," Giittinger said. As of Oct. 2, the Nebraska City Police Department was working on enhancing the surveillance video at Burger King, where the oil was taken from, to get more information about the suspects. Officer Chris Richardson said the police are looking for two white males in their mid-20s to 30s driving a white Chevy one-ton pickup truck pulling a black tanker. Richardson said the tanker can probably hold 2,000 gallons, one suspect was wearing a red ball cap and the front end of the pickup truck resembles the body style of a 2006 Chevy. Richardson said once the video is enhanced a better description of the suspects and the license plate will be available. The police were notified by Burger King and Dar Pro Solutions, who buys the used cooking oil from the establishment, of the stolen oil at about 9 See THEFT, B8 CHAD LARSON Call 402-209-0831 Chad Larson Seminars & Consulting www.HeartlandHub.com CONSULTING 318 S. 11th St., Nebraska City, NE Emai: [email protected] 4+<8?67+88 No entry The Nishnabotna River was still above flood stage on last Thursday afternoon in Riverton, and flooding was reported on Riverton Road on Wednesday and Thursday, causing road closings.

This is a good time to reaffirm our commitment to Nebraska’s manufacturing base and to the industry which has helped our state become one of the strongest in the nation. To grow our manufacturing base, we must make the most of opportunities which will help communities attract investments that ensure long-term growth. This takes a concerted effort to develop the workforce needed by manufacturers. Nebraska exports to more than 170 countries, selling manufactured goods and services totaling more than $7 billion dollars. Manufacturers employ nearly 10 percent of Nebraska’s workforce. The average manufacturing job in Nebraska pays nearly $55,000 annually. Manufacturing jobs are important to America’s and Nebraska’s economies as we continue to make Nebraska an even better place to live, to work and to raise a family. Nebraska’s manufacturing jobs help us do just that. Nebraska’s manufacturing sector has played a key role in our state’s economic recovery. Today, more than 100,000 Nebraskans earn their paychecks in manufacturing – and for every 100 manufacturing jobs, nearly 300 additional workers are needed to support them. Unfortunately, too many young people are not aware that a career in manufacturing can be a challenging, rewarding and fulfilling way to earn a good living. We must change those perceptions. Later this month, I will be touring some of Nebraska’s manufacturing industry sites during the 2014 Salute to Manufacturing Tour. I will be joined by Barry Kennedy, President of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce and Industry and business leaders, manufacturing employees, and students to celebrate October as Nebraska Manufacturing Month at events in four locations. Nebraska Manufacturing Month events will start at Lincoln Industries in Lincoln. The next stop will be Deshler Public Schools where I will eat lunch with kindergarten through third graders and give remarks at a Nebraska Manufacturing Month school assembly for fourth through twelfth grade students, followed by a tour of the school’s welding facility. After Deshler, there will be an T GOV. DAVE HEINEMAN event at Orthman Manufacturing in Lexington. The day’s tour will conclude at an event in Norfolk at the NuCor Corporation. In addition to this day’s events, I will also be attending manufacturing events in Columbus and Snyder during October. During the Salute to Manufacturing Tour, I want to highlight our state’s Intern Nebraska, or InternNE, program which has reached 750 actively employed interns. InternNE was a part of our Talent and Innovation Initiative that aims to advance business innovation and strengthen workforce recruitment efforts in Nebraska. Over the last three years, more than 400 companies have participated in the program and 36 percent of interns participating have worked at companies located in rural Nebraska. The InternNE program has been excellent at matching employers searching for quality employees with students seeking excellent work experiences. I’m looking forward to having even more companies becoming involved in hiring quality interns. The InternNE program began on June 1, 2011. Initially, 79 businesses applied for Intern Nebraska funding with 45 businesses fairly quickly approved to participate in the program. On InternNE.com, students can search for a paid internship, and businesses can post internship openings. According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, more than 50 percent of interns are offered and accept full-time employment. Students seeking a paid internship are invited to register on the site and then apply directly. A solid, healthy and growing manufacturing industry in Nebraska is an important part of our state’s economic equation. I’m pleased to celebrate the impact that the industry has on all Nebraskans. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Our pool is in ‘grave disrepair’ Dear Editor, I am writing in regard to a very important community issue upcoming on the next ballot; the proposed new aquatic center for Nebraska City. As most of you know, our current swimming pool is in grave disrepair. I was a lifeguard at this pool over 25 years ago and the pool was outdated and in bad shape back then. My husband and I have been very active parents involved in our summer swim team for over 17 years. We have four daughters who love swimming and spent many summers at our pool both leisurely and as members of the swim team. Our community is very lucky to have many dedicated and talented swimmers on our swim team as well as dedicated and talented parents volunteering year after year to make our swim team successful. Wouldn’t it be great to give back to these kids? Not just for the kids on swim team though, but for all our kids in this great community. Our kids deserve a fun, safe place to go in the summer. Nebraska City has so many exceptional qualities and outstanding places to visit. Our parks, golf courses, museums, orchards and our historic downtown area all make Nebraska City a great place to live and visit. Just imagine how much more attractive Nebraska City could be to visitors with a brand new aquatic center. Instead of our local families taking their children to Plattsmouth, Auburn, Shenandoah or Lincoln to enjoy a fun day in the sun, they could stay right here in town. People from surrounding communities could come here to Nebraska City to enjoy our new pool and that in turn would generate business and revenue throughout our great community. Please help in the effort to make Nebraska City even better than it is today. Please vote yes for a new aquatic center for our kids, but more importantly for our community. Sincerely, Michelle Kreifels Most sincerely, Mari Jackson Thanks for all your support After 14 years of working on the Cancer Survivors Park of Nebraska City, I would like to thank all the News-Press readers for your overwhelming interest in this project. I am happy to welcome the new owners of the property and wish them well. Congratulations to Suann and Paul Sellum for your interest in continuing this project. Sincerely, Margaret Spiers Founder, Nebraska City Cancer Survivors Park NC needs a ‘beautiful new pool’ I am writing to you to express my firm belief that a new pool is imperative to our city and to our surrounding area. We need a beautiful new pool not only for our current residents' enjoyment, but also to attract and delight future visitors. This is all part of making Nebraska City a trip destination with the possibility of becoming a new home for some of these families in the upcoming years. We have a unique and beautifully updated library, new schools and many parks, a very attractive downtown area, three wonderful golf courses, a state park with beautiful Arbor Lodge and the Arbor Farms with the Kimmel Orchard and more. In order to successfully grow, we need to show visitors what we have to offer and certainly a stunning new pool will be one of the beautiful gems that they will discovery while in Nebraska City. ‘The existing pool has outlived its usefulness’ I am writing this letter in support of the new pool. The existing pool has outlived its usefulness. The inner workings of the pool are outdated and in need of update and there is a leak which makes the children's pool unusable. For the last couple years, the Government has written regulations that would close our pool only to rescind them after backlash. Having a new pool would allow for parents of our younger children to stay in Nebraska City rather than travel around to neighboring communities to swim. I know there is a lot discussion about the location of the pool. There is not ever going to be a place found that will satisfy everyone. I think that the committee tried its best and came up with a place that would be suitable to everyone. Keeping it where it is at does use some space close to the baseball field but most of that space will never be used for anything. I know that there is concern about foul balls going into the pool but I was informed by people on the SPLASH committee that they have thought about this and are putting a higher fence to minimize it. Will there be balls hit in there? To think that there won't be is naive, but it is a reason for not putting a pool there? I do not think so. There are questions on whether the city needs to fund a pool. That is a valid question. The pool is used by generally younger people in the community and according to the city it does not break even. If breaking even is your concern let me remind the people of the community that the Public golf course loses more money than the pool does. The difference between the two is that there are 2 privately owned golf courses within 6 miles of Nebraska City, and there is not a pool within 15 miles. Finally and most importantly, I think for our youth it would be great to give them a place to relax on a hot summer day. Within the next few years, we could be looking at closing the existing pool. What are these kids going to do? I do not know but I know some will get upset with what they do and it could be eliminated with a vote for the pool." Kent Blum Nebraska City DIGGING UP ROOTS Living in a Soddie e modern women often complain about our housekeeping chores. We want our homes to be clean, sanitary, and attractive, so we vacuum, we dust, we polish and wax. Then we groan because it is all to be done over again next week. If we could step back in time and visit a woman living in an 18th century sod house on the prairie, we would soon quit complaining after seeing what their housekeeping chores were like. Most Otoe County set- W % %% SHIRLEY GILFERT tlers were fortunate to discover wooded areas when they came to homestead. They could build log cabins that might have been rustic, but they could be made % #!" ## cozy and comfortable. But as all the land in eastern Nebraska soon filled up and settlers pushed further west, they discovered a mostly treeless Nebraska prairie. The few cottonwoods found near creeks were soft and warped as they dried. Were our stalwart pioneers discouraged? Did they give up and return back east? Not on your life! They set about building their homes with “Nebraska Marble,” as they called the very sod that lay beneath their feet. Prairie grass had a much thicker root system than our modern landscaping grass and when it was cut into blocks and laid grass side down, the roots would continue to grow upward, thus entangling with the block above it and forming a strong sturdy wall. The blocks were sliced out of the ground with what they called a grasshopper plow. It could slice through those roots that were so tough you could hear a loud tearing sound when the plow cut them. After its arduous construction, the sod house would be comfortably cool in the hot summers and warm during the frigid snowy winters, but they were dark and gloomy. Doors and windows were limited because they were the most expensive part of the construction. Once built, the lady of the house did her best to make her sod house a home, but the floor was dirt, the walls were infested with all kinds of vermin and when it rained, the roof not only leaked, it often caved in. Snakes and mice didn’t hesitate to make their presence known, often dropping onto one’s bed at night when you were trying to sleep. One settler lamented that every afternoon the rattlesnakes would leave their hidden den in the wall and sun themselves by curling up on the west window sill. Another woman suggested that one must keep an umbrella handy while cooking in order to keep dirt and bugs from falling in to the food. Sometimes cheesecloth was strung across the ceiling to prevent this. Occasionally the inside walls were whitewashed or wallpapered to brighten things up a bit. Since there was only one room of approximately twelve by eighteen foot on the interior, and as many as six or more were living there, quilts were often strung up on wires to provide a semblance of privacy. The sod house was never intended as a permanent dwelling. See ROOTS, B8 Nebraska City Ongoing ■ Rainbows...Guiding Kids Through Life’s Storms, resumes in September.

PHOTO BY KIRT MANION Nebraska City runners were in action on a cool Friday afternoon at the Syracuse Country Club against some of the top runners in the state on one of the faster and flatter courses the team will see all season. Coach Ron Schaulis said the Syracuse Invite is one of the toughest meets on this side of the state. Jaycob Tharp was the top finisher for the Pioneer boys. He narrowly missed a top 25 medal winning finish with a 28th place time of 18:45. Dylan Holman was second on the Pioneer team with a 23:23. Morgan Ferraro was first on the Pioneer girls’ team with a 23:28 and a 36th place finish. Other times for the Pioneer girls were Whitney Parker, 23:45; Jessinia Hincapie, 23:40; Maria Andrade, 27:30; Makensi Blum, 27:48; and Aubrey Thurman, 28:01. Coach Ron Schaulis said the Pioneer girls’ team has a solid three times at the top of thier card and just need one more runner to step up in order to improve their team finishes at events going forward. Katie Nielsen was the Pioneer representative in the girls’ JV race. She ran 30:46. On the junior high side, Brooke Banik finished fifth on the 1.2 mile Knights keep scoring, win Kirt Manion [email protected] Lourdes’ scoring persistence, particularly in the two-point game, proved essential as the Knights won 54-30 over McCool Junction on homecoming night Friday. The Knights answered McCool Junction scores all game long and finished 6-of-7 on two-point attempts. Defensively, the Knights stepped up with big plays after McCool touchdowns as the visitors were held without a two-point make on five attempts. Lourdes first scoring drive of the night was a methodical one as the Knights covered 56 yards by converting five first downs, two by rush, one by pass and one by penalty. Tylor Sturm rushed the ball into the end zone from four yards out and Tom Gress had a two-point run. Lourdes led 8-0 with 3:38 to go in the first quarter. McCool Junction scored on a 10-yard Chance Christman run to make it 8-6 and the Knights responded right back with a score. Gress passed for 22 yards to Noah Vasa and Sturm rushed the ball into the end zone from 25 yards out. Kyle Francois had the two-point run and Lourdes led 16-6 at the 7:43 mark of the second quarter. Christman passed 44 yards on a scoring strike to teammate Seth Norquest and McCool cut the Knight lead to 16:12 with 2:14 until half. Lourdes scored again before the break, this time on a 59-yard march capped by an eight-yard Francois run and a Sturm two-point run. Lourdes led 24-12 at half. Gress opened the third quarter by setting up a screen pass and delivering the ball to Francois who raced 64 yards to pay dirt. Sturm added the point after run and the lead ballooned to 32-12.

See RUNNERS, A7 Wins on Tuesday and Thursday pushed a Knight win steak to four straight as the Lourdes volleyball team limited its errors in a win over Brownell-Talbot and then won at home over Auburn. With those results, the Knights’ record stood at 8-4. All the stats were positive in the win on Tuesday as the Knights showed aggression on the serve and the attack and was also efficient in serve receive. Scores from the Brownell-Talbot match had Lourdes winning 25-21, 25-8, and 25-16. “Every hitter had kills so our setters were doing a good job distributing the ball and getting all hitters involved,” said Coach Michelle Kreifels. Laura Box led the way with seven kills. Karley Kreifels had six. Other leaders were, Sam Heng, 5; Aliya Dreiling, four; and Katie O’Neil and Leia FitzPatrick, both with two. Lourdes had a team total of 26 kills with just 8 errors. Service numbers were similar in that the Knights had a high number of aces, 20, with few errors, five. Kreifels and Box had five aces each. Heng had four, Gabby Ragland had three, and Maggie Funke and O’Neil chipped in with two and one. Assist leaders were Kreifels, 14, and Funke, seven. Leah DeFreece led the Knights in digs with 10.

Auburn Thursday night was a pink-out at the Lourdes gym as the Knights showed support for all those who have battled or who are continuing to breast cancer. Fans and players set the mood by wearing pink attire to the game. In addition to those festivities, the Knights also welcomed students from the N.C.E.C.V.B.I., the local school for children with visual handicaps. Lourdes has a tradition of having a team meal at N.C.E.C.V.B.I school. The Knights had their sixth annual team dinner last week and hosted six students for the match against Auburn. The Knight players came out on high note in the match as energy levels were high for the opening set. Karley Kreifels and Sam Heng combined to serve the first 12 points of the match for Lourdes. “We had a lead of 15-7 and really did a great job of not allowing Auburn to go on any significant serving runs and finished the game 25-17,” said Coach Kreifels. Set two was as close as the final count of 26-24 would indicate as both teams had success. The last two points were scored on an Auburn hitting error and a well-placed kill down the line by Heng. The third set had a similar feel as Lourdes as Auburn battled evenly and, at one point, were tied at 15-15. A six-point run had Auburn up 23-17 and thinking about extending the match to a fourth set. A side out and a service run by Maggie Funke had Lourdes within two at 2321. Auburn would then call its final timeout. “ In the huddle we just talked about staying calm and playing aggressive and playing smart,” said Coach Kreifels. Big digs by Heng were key as Lourdes continued its rally and tied the third set 23-23. Another Funke serve preceded a pass from Heng to Kreifels for the kill and Lourdes led 2423. The kill might have come as a surprise to Auburn as Coach Kreifels said they may have believed the Knight player was going to set the ball to a teammate rather than smash it across the net. Funke served one last time and a long rally culminated in a Bulldog hitting error giving the Knights a 25-23 win and a three set sweep. “Maggie served with such confidence and then everyone just played with so much passion and nothing hit the floor” said Coach Kreifels. “I think defensively it was by far our best game. “And our hitters all took care of the ball. They didn’t try to do too much, they just played hard and it caused Auburn to make a few errors. “We really just dug deep and made it happen,” said Coach Kreifels. “It was such a fun game to be a part of and I am just proud of our team because Auburn is a good and hard hitting team.” Turning to the stats, Kreifels had a triple-double with 13 kills, 13 assists and 18 digs. She also had three ace serves. Heng had six kills and 24 digs. Leah DeFreece also had 24 digs. Funke had 14 assists and five digs. Aliya Dreiling had five kills. Laura Box had three kills, two solo blocks and five assisted blocks. And Katie O’Neil had three kills and assisted on five blocks.

He didn’t score thanks to the hustle of Francois, who tripped up Christman at the one. That turned out to be a huge play as McCool backed itself up with penalties and faced a 4th-and-goal at the 33-yard line. The visitors failed to convert. And Lourdes threw the knock out punch. Ethan Martinosky converted a key 3rd-and-2 on a rush play and Gress connected with Tom Ragland on a 35-yard scoring pass. Lourdes failed to convert on the two-point play, but still led 54-24. With 6:40 left to go, both squads put their reserve players into the contest. And McCool had the last scoring drive of the game, capped by a 19yard scoring run. The point after failed, making the final score 54-30. Looking at team totals for the contest, Lourdes was balanced with 209 pass yards and 160 rush yards.

Fire research has demonstrated that with today’s modern furnishings, fires can spread much more rapidly than in the past when more natural materials were used. Because of this, having a sufficient number of properly located smoke alarms is essential to maximize the amount of available escape time. For many years NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, has required as a minimum that smoke alarms be installed inside every sleep room (even for existing homes) in addition to requiring them outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home. (Additional smoke alarms are required for larger homes.) Homes built to earlier standards often don’t meet these minimum requirements. Homeowners and enforcement authorities should recognize that detection needs have changed over the years and take proactive steps make sure that every home has a sufficient complement of smoke alarms. Installing smoke alarms Choose smoke alarms that have the label of a recognized testing laboratory. Install smoke alarms inside each bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. On levels without bedrooms, install alarms in the living room (or den or family room) or near the stairway to the upper level, or in both locations. Smoke alarms installed in the basement should be installed on the ceiling at the bottom of the stairs leading to the next level. Smoke alarms should be installed at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a cooking appliance to minimize false alarms when cooking. Mount smoke alarms high on walls or ceilings (remember, smoke rises). Wall-mounted alarms should be installed not more than 12 inches away from the ceiling (to the top of the alarm). If you have ceilings that are pitched, install the alarm within 3 feet of the peak but not within the apex of the peak (four inches down from the peak). Don't install smoke alarms near windows, doors, or ducts where drafts might interfere with their operation. Never paint smoke alarms. Paint, stickers, or other decorations could keep the alarms from working. For the best protection, interconnect all smoke alarms. When one smoke alarm sounds they all sound. Interconnection can be done using hard-wiring or wireless technology. When interconnected smoke alarms are installed, it is important that all of the alarms are from the same manufacturer. If the alarms are not compatible, they may not sound. There are two types of smoke alarms – ionization and photoelectric. An ionization smoke alarm is generally more responsive to flaming fires, and a photoelectric smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering fires. For the best protection, both types of alarms or combination ionization-photoelectric alarms, also known as dual sensor smoke alarms, are recommended. Keep manufacturer’s instructions for reference.

The fall summit helps participants develop leadership and communications skill as they work together to prevent tobacco use among their peers. "No Limits has shown me how we, as young people, can have a positive impact on our communities," 16-year-old No Limits Youth Board member Joanna Hejl of Lincoln said. "It's exciting to be part of a group that empowers youth to have a positive impact across Nebraska." The No Limits Fall Summit is free for accepted applicants and includes transportation to and from Aurora. Groups are encouraged to have an adult sponsor, but sponsors are not required. Applications must be submitted by Oct. 22. More information is available at www.NoLimitsNebraska.com. Brad Penner Special to the News-Press LINCOLN - No Limits, Nebraska's youth-led tobacco prevention movement, is now accepting applications for the No Limits Fall Summit, Nov. 22 to 23 at the Leadership Center in Aurora. The summit is open to Nebraska youth ages 12 to 18, in grades seven through 12. Participants will develop strategies to fight the marketing tactics of tobacco companies in their own schools and communities. No Limits Youth Board members chose "People over Profits" as the theme for the fall summit. Sessions will examine how big tobacco companies value profits over the health of young people by using deceptive tactics to influence more teens to use tobacco. "The tobacco industry needs new customers to stay in business," No Limits project coordinator Molly Kincaid said.

We have three children (ages 4, 2, and a baby). I hold down a professional career and do a significant portion of housework as well as devote all my nonwork waking hours to caring for and teaching the children — but still I am belittled and accused of not doing enough. Her family members constantly warn her that I will leave (I have never threatened to leave). This makes her more frustrated and she takes this out on me. She can’t see the harm she’s doing to our relationship because she’s too busy looking at how “unfair” things are for her. How can I make her see how her actions hurt others? — Tired of Being Pushed Around DEAR TIRED: You and your partner are enduring the most challenging phase of family life. In the best circumstances, it is not pretty. And in the worst cases parenthood looks like your household, with two exhausted parents who — instead GASOLINE ALLEY THE MIDDLETONS Amy Dickinson is a Tribune Media Services national columnist of offering love and support — are serving up blame and recrimination to each other. You don’t outline particulars about her behavior, and you don’t say how long she has been behaving this way, but I’m going to make the (kinder) assumption that she is completely overwhelmed, and/ or possibly depressed. Has she been screened for postpartum depression? You two need as much practical help as you can get. Those family members of hers who are busy offering opinions about your relationship should grab a diaper bag and offer some practical assistance to your household. You and your partner must have some alone time, so you can work on some of these issues, connect and reconnect without the kids around.

Students were allowed dress-up days all week long, with points given for the most creative costumes. Also, there were pep rallies with games where students could win more points for their class. Each grade level decorated a portion of the school hallways to represent their class theme. Pictured above, the 2014 senior class chose the destination of America for their theme for the hall decorating contest. See more photos online and the results from Homecoming in the next edition.

As if that weren't impressive enough, the seven year old also recently began a fundraising campaign for the Children's Miracle Network and Children's Hospital in Omaha. Kadynce's interest in the Children's Hospital is real and personal: in March of this year Kadynce experienced a seizure at school, and she had another in May, the day after being crowned at the pageant, resulting in her being transferred to the Children's Hospital in Omaha. While so far a diagnosis for the cause of Kadynce's seizures has not been found, the staff at Children's Hospital left a lasting impression on the child. Kadynce's mother, Brenna, said, "The staff was amazing and did ROOTS Continued from Page A4 When the railroads made it possible to obtain lumber in the area, frame houses began popping up PLAN Continued from Page 1 planning grant from the REWARD Continued from Page 1 ing the clock on this guy.

She looked around and saw pictures of other kids that have been treated for their conditions and wanted to help those kids feel better." Brenna went on, "We were driving home one day and Kadynce asked me, “Mom, what can I sell to raise money to fill the containers at WalMart?” After I made a couple of suggestions, Kadynce had her own idea. She was eating a sucker at the time and said, “What about these?” My heart was moved as I was filled with pride that she wanted to help others. Working together, the project began. She has been selling suckers to raise money for Children's Miracle Network ever since that day." Kadynce and her mom started a non-profit called "Lollipop Limo", and at the moment Kadynce's goal is to raise $500. Brenna says that Kadynce has already raised nearly $300, but they are still looking for ways to get the word out about her project. Kadynce has a website at lollipoplimo.com that is evolving slowly, but gives a brief description of why the non-profit was started and how to donate, and has a contact page. Kadynce and her mom are also working on plans for some local fundraising events, possibly to be held at one of the local stores. If you would like to help with this cause, your donation of $5.00 buys you a carton of 8 suckers in a variety of flavors, while contributing towards the cause of supplying hospital equipment and other needs for the patients at the Children’s Hospital, and fulfilling the dream of this seven year old girl. Kadynce would like you to visit her website, and also watch for Lollipop Limo fundraising events on the weekends at local businesses like Wal-Mart and Fareway in the near future. all over the prairie.
