Scrap Collection Hits 100,000 lbs. . . Much More Needed - In the drive to collect 100,000 pounds (50 tons) of scrap metal, Howells hit the half-way mark today with 50,000 tons. This does not include the scrap donated to the Boy Scouts, which is estimated at more than 5 tons. Chair-man of the scrap committe, Lester Armstrong, and Marshall Frank Luxa have been busy during the past week weighing and buying the metal that has been brought in by farmers and hauled in on the village trucks. The town has been canvassed thoroughly by the Campfire Girls and Boy Scouts. The big reserve of scrap is on the farms and individual farmers are urged to collect their old metal, put it on a pule, then bring it to town themselves or notify Lester Armstrong, who will see that a truck picks it up. The scrap is being purchased by the Howells Community Club at government controlled prices. Every pound of crap is needed desperately and all are expected to do their share in this vital war effort. Scrap Slaps Japs!!!

As a token of love his parents presented Alois with a valuable gold wrist watch, and as an evidence of the friendship of those present he re-ceived a number of gifts appropriate for a departing soldier whom they showered with many good wishes for a safe and early return.

Remember a few weeks ago when I told you how to make an election-tracking chart for the 2014 primary election? Well, you’re going to have to add a few more names to the Republican gubernatorial hopefuls. State Auditor Mike Foley has made it official, he wants to be the Republican nominee. The father of six who served a few years as the state Senator from Lincoln’s mostly Catholic and pro-life 29th District has given up a sure thing run for another term as auditor to go after the top elected state job. He made a name for himself in the non-partisan Unicameral introducing five anti-abortion bills during his tenure. As auditor, Foley hasn’t been afraid to tackle the University of Nebraska system and the burgeoning mass of, some say out-of-control, bureaucracy known as the Department of Health and Human Services. He has brought light to the fact that millions in available federal dollars have been left on the table by inattentive department employees. Some have even lost their jobs as a result of his audits and public announcement of same. There’s no doubt that he would appeal to the fiscal conservatives. Some fear he may cut too much. Likewise, in a primary field already crowded with term-limited seated state senators, Foley can be seen as a front-runner. Or at least he was for a couple days until a familiar face, absent the oft-disparaged red stocking cap, emerged as yet another Republican gubernatorial hopeful. Yes, that millionaire Pete Ricketts. The 49-year-old financial whiz-kid – OK, his dad started Ameritrade – who is also part owner of the Chicago Cubs baseball team decided not to go after the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by former Lincoln Mayor, governor and U.S. Ag Secretary Mike Johanns. Ricketts failed miserably in his attempt to unseat incumbent Democrat Ben Nelson a few years ago and apparently learned an important lesson – you can’t buy an election.

John Philip Hyland, born in January of 1882, was a resident farmer of Leigh, Nebraska, and he needed a barn. Besides farming, he traded, bought, sold, raised and trained horses, and he had mules too. This barn would be ideal for keeping his livestock. J.P. hired the carpenter, John Asche, also a resident of Leigh. In 1908, John and his wife Mary, purchased a farm one mile north of Leigh. Built in 1917, this barn is 36 feet wide by 60.2 feet long. It is 43 feet in height and weighs approximately 124,000 pounds. John loved horses and every weekend he saddled up his horses and ponies for the townspeople. He taught them the fine art of horsemanship and more times than not would ride with his guests. John also loved music and was a violin player. During his youth, he belonged to an orchestra that consisted of his family members and they were called to play for dances throughout the territory. After the barn was built, many of the towns residents loved to dance but didn’t have anywhere that was large enough to hold gatherings. So the Hylands were asked and they were more than happy to open their barn for dances. The upper floor was used and the dances continued for thirty plus years. Unfortunately, in 1953, one of the horses that John was training threw his head back and broke John’s neck. Years later, the barn became known as the Belohrad barn. And presently, it is in the possession of Jarrett and Kathy Doernemann who plan to.... have barn dances?? Tuesday, September 3, the Doernemanns had a moving company make the long journey from the corner at Leigh to their property, one-half mile north of Clarkson park. The barn was prepped for moving the previous week taking the moving company approximately one and a half days. Once the movers got started Tuesday morning, it took four hours to travel from Leigh to one mile east of Clarkson’s east spur, then one mile north, back three-fourths of a mile west, followed by a north turn, to make the remainder of the trip. The driver made it cautiously around the corner of the bridge on old highway 91, across from the city park. From there it was only a short distance to the foundation where the barn will now be lodged. Jarrett commented that there is a lot of work he wants to do to the barn, but future plans are that this will be a great building for storage. Also, as if paying homage to the original structure, this barn will also be used for dances. Doernemann did mention that ideas were in the making for a cancer benefit and other similar functions. But this will not be happening for quite a while, as he wants to get all of the refurbishing done first. Thanks to some modern day engineering, this 96-year-old horse barn, didn’t have to be destroyed. The Doernemanns had the initiative to preserve this piece of history and now it will live on... maybe for another ninety-six years!!

A Funeral Mass for 87 year old Rose M. Wolff, of Dodge, formerly of Howells was held at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, September 12 at S.S. Peter & Paul Catholic Church in Howells with Fr. Leo Rigatuso, Celebrant. Visitation was held on Wednesday from 2:30 p.m until 8:00 p.m at S.S. Peter & Paul Church with a 3:00 p.m. Christian Mothers Rosary and a 7:30 p.m. Parish Rosary. Visitation continued Thursday one hour before services at the church. Burial was in S.S. Peter & Paul Cemetery. Rose passed away Monday, September 9, at Parkview Home in Dodge. Rose was born May 15, 1926 to Theodore and Barbara (Schafers) Schlautman in rural Cuming County. She attended District 51 School. On October 4, 1951, Rose married Edward F. Wolff at S.S. Peter & Paul Catholic Church in Howells. She was a member of S.S. Peter & Paul Catholic Church, Christian Mothers and the American Legion Auxillary. Rose enjoyed cooking, baking, quilting, gardening, spending time with her grandchildren and being the “Avon Lady” in Howells. She also worked at the Parkview Home in Dodge. Rose is survived by her husband Ed of Dodge; daughter Lou Anne (Tom) Eller of David City; grandchildren: Kristin (Justin) Lovitt of Howells, Thomas J. Eller of Columbus, Brandon Eller of Omaha, Justin Eller of Omaha and Jeffrey Eller of David City; and many nieces and nephews. Rose is preceded in death by her parents; sisters Mary Ridder, Agnes Faltin, Dorothy Diesterhaupt, Theresa Wellman, Pauline Wolff; and brothers Henry, Frank, Conrad, Leo, Raymond and Richard Schlautman. Memorials are suggested to Howells Community Catholic Schools or In Care of the Family. Arrangements were by Svoboda Funeral Home in Schuyler.
Rose M. Wolff•From page 2 This time around he promises there will be no red stocking cap, used in a senate race commercial in which his mom told him to be sure to wear his cap, and he says he won’t use massive amounts of his own cash. It will be interesting to watch Ricketts re-invent himself as he tries to identify with the mass of Nebraska voters who have no idea what it’s like to have a lot of money. Hopefully he’ll be able to craft a campaign platform as well. A Foley-Ricketts contest with some others in the background will be interesting. Stay tuned. There are rumors that others may be inclined to jump in the already crowded race. Meanwhile, incumbent Governor Dave Heineman has raised some eyebrows with comments in support of Douglas County prosecutors seeking the death penalty in a high-profile murder spree. That has also brought out State Senator Ernie Chambers, the leading opponent of the death penalty, who has played the race card in his criticism of the current situation. At issue is the arrest of Nikko Jenkins, a 26-year-old Omaha black man who was recently released from prison under the state’s good time laws and now faces charges for the deaths of four Omaha people. Chambers said he was troubled because the police investigation into the matter intensified only after a white woman was identified as the fourth victim. A black man and two Hispanic men were the other three victims. He questioned why investigators didn't appear to be more aggressively seeking the person who purchased the ammunition used in those killings until after Andrea Kruger, a white woman, was killed on Aug. 21. Omaha Police said the department gives utmost attention to investigating every homicide. Chambers said authorities apply a different standard when the victim is white. Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Brad Ashford of Omaha said the Jenkins’ case has also opened up the debate about good time in which a prisoner has his sentence reduced by a day for every day he serves if he hasn’t violated prison policies. Jenkins has been in the criminal justice system since he was 17 and was released early because of good time. Lawmakers may revisit the issue next session.

On Monday, September 9, the Howells rescue squad participated in a “live action” drill. They do drills like this once a month to assure that they have the proper knowledge and training when actual emergencies do happen. This month’s training and the chosen scenario were done to show that accidents and major injuries can happen in town and regardless of how far you are going you should always buckle up. Below is the scenario that was being portrayed. Scenario: Mother with two small children needs to run downtown to pick up some last minute groceries. Since she was “just” going a few blocks, not only did she not buckle up, but she did not buckle her small child in the rear car seat, also allowed her young child-who should ride in the back seat-to ride in the front seat. The child took it upon himself to buckle up. On the way to the store, and in a hurry she began to text her husband, “had to run to st...” when she inadvertently steered to the left, jumped the curb and into a large tree. Possible Injuries: Driver: slammed forward into steering wheel, then stopped short by air bag blowing her back to the seat - facial burns, cuts, possible facial fracture, missing teeth and chest or internal injuries are possible. Front passenger: although seat belted in the child was too small for the front seat. The seat was too close to the dash and the air bag blasted the child in the face. Possible injuries, broken nose, facial fracture and unconscious. Rear passenger: unrestrained small child flew out of the rear compartment, through the council and is shot into the windshield. Possible injuries include, massive head and internal injuries and spinal injuries. The victims were played by Ashley Pokorny and Wyatt Hegemann.

Breaking the Fast By the time you wake up in the morning, it has been 8-12 hours since you have last eaten. When you are told, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” it’s true. By morning, your activity and energy levels are low. Start your day with a well balanced meal. It will give you a jumpstart for the day. Research shows that children who eat breakfast do better in school, are more creative, have better concentration in class, perform better on tests, and have fewer behavioral problems. Adults who eat breakfast tend to do better at work, snack less and get more nutrients each day than adults who skip breakfast. When it comes to choices, nothing beats a bowl of cereal. In general, people who start their day with cereal eat less fat during the day, eat more fiber and get 20 percent more essential nutrients than people who do not eat cereal. Cereal is fortified with vitamins and minerals. It provides nutrients that may be missed at other meals. Choose cereals that are low in sugar such as bran flakes or oatmeal. Use sugared cereals less often or mix them with healthier choices. Be sure to try and include at least 3 food groups in your breakfast plans. Traditional options include: •bowl of cereal with low-fat or fat-free milk •peanut butter on toast •pancakes - add fruit as a topping •frozen whole grain waffles •oatmeal •100% fruit juice •Veggie omelet •French toast Be creative - there is nothing wrong with the following options for breakfast. They are not the typical choices but they are healthy options. In case you are wondering, most of these ideas came from participants in my youth and adult nutrition classes when asked the question, “What do you eat for breakfast?” •sandwiches •slice of pizza, particularly with vegetable toppings •tortillas with fillings •leftover spaghetti or macaroni and cheese •soup •yogurt parfait (yogurt, cereal and fruit) •cottage cheese with fruit •any healthy leftovers If you are rushed in the morning, try having these items on hand. These are also good ideas for snacks to have on hand throughout the day. •fresh or dried fruit •make your own trail mix in a bag – cereal, raisins, nuts, dried fruit •hard-boiled eggs •apples and cheese •cheese and crackers •whole grain muffins •low fat or fat-free yogurt •bagel with peanut butter •glass of milk or 100% juice There are lots of options. The key is to eat something to break the fast in the morning. By the way, only drinking a cup of coffee in the morning is not considered breakfast. Yes, I like my coffee too but there needs to be food with some nutrients.

Breaking the Fast By the time you wake up in the morning, it has been 8-12 hours since you have last eaten. When you are told, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” it’s true. By morning, your activity and energy levels are low. Start your day with a well balanced meal. It will give you a jumpstart for the day. Research shows that children who eat breakfast do better in school, are more creative, have better concentration in class, perform better on tests, and have fewer behavioral problems. Adults who eat breakfast tend to do better at work, snack less and get more nutrients each day than adults who skip breakfast. When it comes to choices, nothing beats a bowl of cereal. In general, people who start their day with cereal eat less fat during the day, eat more fiber and get 20 percent more essential nutrients than people who do not eat cereal. Cereal is fortified with vitamins and minerals. It provides nutrients that may be missed at other meals. Choose cereals that are low in sugar such as bran flakes or oatmeal. Use sugared cereals less often or mix them with healthier choices. Be sure to try and include at least 3 food groups in your breakfast plans. Traditional options include: •bowl of cereal with low-fat or fat-free milk •peanut butter on toast •pancakes - add fruit as a topping •frozen whole grain waffles •oatmeal •100% fruit juice •Veggie omelet •French toast Be creative - there is nothing wrong with the following options for breakfast. They are not the typical choices but they are healthy options. In case you are wondering, most of these ideas came from participants in my youth and adult nutrition classes when asked the question, “What do you eat for breakfast?” •sandwiches •slice of pizza, particularly with vegetable toppings •tortillas with fillings •leftover spaghetti or macaroni and cheese •soup •yogurt parfait (yogurt, cereal and fruit) •cottage cheese with fruit •any healthy leftovers If you are rushed in the morning, try having these items on hand. These are also good ideas for snacks to have on hand throughout the day. •fresh or dried fruit •make your own trail mix in a bag – cereal, raisins, nuts, dried fruit •hard-boiled eggs •apples and cheese •cheese and crackers •whole grain muffins •low fat or fat-free yogurt •bagel with peanut butter •glass of milk or 100% juice There are lots of options. The key is to eat something to break the fast in the morning. By the way, only drinking a cup of coffee in the morning is not considered breakfast. Yes, I like my coffee too but there needs to be food with some nutrients.
Card of Thanks We would like to thank all of you who offered your sympathies in the form of food, memorials, and kind words at the time of our mother and grandmother’s (Wilma Loftus’) death.

Your outpouring support through food, vis-its, phone calls and memorials was overwhelming, We would again like to thank the Clarkson Rescue Squad and the Alegent Creighton Hospital Staff including Dr. Castle and Dr. Schaefer, for their help. Our gratitude to Father Leo Rigatuso, Father Paul Ortmeier, Father Frank Baumert and Father Andrew Roza for concelebrating Mass, as well as Deacon Schlautman and the Knights of Columbus for leading the rosary and providing the Honor Guard at his services.

On Monday, September 9, the Howells rescue squad participated in a “live action” drill. They do drills like this once a month to assure that they have the proper knowledge and training when actual emergencies do happen. This month’s training and the chosen scenario were done to show that accidents and major injuries can happen in town and regardless of how far you are going you should always buckle up. Below is the scenario that was being portrayed. Scenario: Mother with two small children needs to run downtown to pick up some last minute groceries. Since she was “just” going a few blocks, not only did she not buckle up, but she did not buckle her small child in the rear car seat, also allowed her young child-who should ride in the back seat-to ride in the front seat. The child took it upon himself to buckle up. On the way to the store, and in a hurry she began to text her husband, “had to run to st...” when she inadvertently steered to the left, jumped the curb and into a large tree. Possible Injuries: Driver: slammed forward into steering wheel, then stopped short by air bag blowing her back to the seat - facial burns, cuts, possible facial fracture, missing teeth and chest or internal injuries are possible. Front passenger: although seat belted in the child was too small for the front seat. The seat was too close to the dash and the air bag blasted the child in the face. Possible injuries, broken nose, facial fracture and unconscious. Rear passenger: unrestrained small child flew out of the rear compartment, through the council and is shot into the windshield. Possible injuries include, massive head and internal injuries and spinal injuries. The victims were played by Ashley Pokorny and Wyatt Hegemann.

John Philip Hyland, born in January of 1882, was a resident farmer of Leigh, Nebraska, and he needed a barn. Besides farming, he traded, bought, sold, raised and trained horses, and he had mules too. This barn would be ideal for keeping his livestock. J.P. hired the carpenter, John Asche, also a resident of Leigh. In 1908, John and his wife Mary, purchased a farm one mile north of Leigh. Built in 1917, this barn is 36 feet wide by 60.2 feet long. It is 43 feet in height and weighs approximately 124,000 pounds. John loved horses and every weekend he saddled up his horses and ponies for the townspeople. He taught them the fine art of horsemanship and more times than not would ride with his guests. John also loved music and was a violin player. During his youth, he belonged to an orchestra that consisted of his family members and they were called to play for dances throughout the territory. After the barn was built, many of the towns residents loved to dance but didn’t have anywhere that was large enough to hold gatherings. So the Hylands were asked and they were more than happy to open their barn for dances. The upper floor was used and the dances continued for thirty plus years. Unfortunately, in 1953, one of the horses that John was training threw his head back and broke John’s neck. Years later, the barn became known as the Belohrad barn. And presently, it is in the possession of Jarrett and Kathy Doernemann who plan to.... have barn dances?? Tuesday, September 3, the Doernemanns had a moving company make the long journey from the corner at Leigh to their property, one-half mile north of Clarkson park. The barn was prepped for moving the previous week taking the moving company approximately one and a half days. Once the movers got started Tuesday morning, it took four hours to travel from Leigh to one mile east of Clarkson’s east spur, then one mile north, back three-fourths of a mile west, followed by a north turn, to make the remainder of the trip. The driver made it cautiously around the corner of the bridge on old highway 91, across from the city park. From there it was only a short distance to the foundation where the barn will now be lodged. Jarrett commented that there is a lot of work he wants to do to the barn, but future plans are that this will be a great building for storage. Also, as if paying homage to the original structure, this barn will also be used for dances. Doernemann did mention that ideas were in the making for a cancer benefit and other similar functions. But this will not be happening for quite a while, as he wants to get all of the refurbishing done first. Thanks to some modern day engineering, this 96-year-old horse barn, didn’t have to be destroyed. The Doernemanns had the initiative to preserve this piece of history and now it will live on... maybe for another ninety-six years!!

A Funeral Mass for 87 year old Rose M. Wolff, of Dodge, formerly of Howells was held at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, September 12 at S.S. Peter & Paul Catholic Church in Howells with Fr. Leo Rigatuso, Celebrant. Visitation was held on Wednesday from 2:30 p.m until 8:00 p.m at S.S. Peter & Paul Church with a 3:00 p.m. Christian Mothers Rosary and a 7:30 p.m. Parish Rosary. Visitation continued Thursday one hour before services at the church. Burial was in S.S. Peter & Paul Cemetery. Rose passed away Monday, September 9, at Parkview Home in Dodge. Rose was born May 15, 1926 to Theodore and Barbara (Schafers) Schlautman in rural Cuming County. She attended District 51 School. On October 4, 1951, Rose married Edward F. Wolff at S.S. Peter & Paul Catholic Church in Howells. She was a member of S.S. Peter & Paul Catholic Church, Christian Mothers and the American Legion Auxillary. Rose enjoyed cooking, baking, quilting, gardening, spending time with her grandchildren and being the “Avon Lady” in Howells. She also worked at the Parkview Home in Dodge. Rose is survived by her husband Ed of Dodge; daughter Lou Anne (Tom) Eller of David City; grandchildren: Kristin (Justin) Lovitt of Howells, Thomas J. Eller of Columbus, Brandon Eller of Omaha, Justin Eller of Omaha and Jeffrey Eller of David City; and many nieces and nephews. Rose is preceded in death by her parents; sisters Mary Ridder, Agnes Faltin, Dorothy Diesterhaupt, Theresa Wellman, Pauline Wolff; and brothers Henry, Frank, Conrad, Leo, Raymond and Richard Schlautman. Memorials are suggested to Howells Community Catholic Schools or In Care of the Family. Arrangements were by Svoboda Funeral Home in Schuyler.
Rose M. Wolff•From page 2 This time around he promises there will be no red stocking cap, used in a senate race commercial in which his mom told him to be sure to wear his cap, and he says he won’t use massive amounts of his own cash. It will be interesting to watch Ricketts re-invent himself as he tries to identify with the mass of Nebraska voters who have no idea what it’s like to have a lot of money. Hopefully he’ll be able to craft a campaign platform as well. A Foley-Ricketts contest with some others in the background will be interesting. Stay tuned. There are rumors that others may be inclined to jump in the already crowded race. Meanwhile, incumbent Governor Dave Heineman has raised some eyebrows with comments in support of Douglas County prosecutors seeking the death penalty in a high-profile murder spree. That has also brought out State Senator Ernie Chambers, the leading opponent of the death penalty, who has played the race card in his criticism of the current situation. At issue is the arrest of Nikko Jenkins, a 26-year-old Omaha black man who was recently released from prison under the state’s good time laws and now faces charges for the deaths of four Omaha people. Chambers said he was troubled because the police investigation into the matter intensified only after a white woman was identified as the fourth victim. A black man and two Hispanic men were the other three victims. He questioned why investigators didn't appear to be more aggressively seeking the person who purchased the ammunition used in those killings until after Andrea Kruger, a white woman, was killed on Aug. 21. Omaha Police said the department gives utmost attention to investigating every homicide. Chambers said authorities apply a different standard when the victim is white. Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Brad Ashford of Omaha said the Jenkins’ case has also opened up the debate about good time in which a prisoner has his sentence reduced by a day for every day he serves if he hasn’t violated prison policies. Jenkins has been in the criminal justice system since he was 17 and was released early because of good time. Lawmakers may revisit the issue next session.

Scrap Collection Hits 100,000 lbs. . . Much More Needed - In the drive to collect 100,000 pounds (50 tons) of scrap metal, Howells hit the half-way mark today with 50,000 tons. This does not include the scrap donated to the Boy Scouts, which is estimated at more than 5 tons. Chair-man of the scrap committe, Lester Armstrong, and Marshall Frank Luxa have been busy during the past week weighing and buying the metal that has been brought in by farmers and hauled in on the village trucks. The town has been canvassed thoroughly by the Campfire Girls and Boy Scouts. The big reserve of scrap is on the farms and individual farmers are urged to collect their old metal, put it on a pule, then bring it to town themselves or notify Lester Armstrong, who will see that a truck picks it up. The scrap is being purchased by the Howells Community Club at government controlled prices. Every pound of crap is needed desperately and all are expected to do their share in this vital war effort. Scrap Slaps Japs!!!
––––––––––––––––– Farewell Party For Departing Soldier Boy - Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gall honored their son, Alois, at a farewell party at their home Sunday evening as the young man leaves for Fort Leavenworth tomorrow to join Uncle Sam’s fighting forces. The guest list included relatives and friends who spent the evening informally in general sociability and at a late hour a fine lunch was served. As a token of love his parents presented Alois with a valuable gold wrist watch, and as an evidence of the friendship of those present he re-ceived a number of gifts appropriate for a departing soldier whom they showered with many good wishes for a safe and early return.
–––––––––––––––– Howells Man Finds Texas Military State - Joseph A. Novak returned last night after a two-week trip to Texas, where he visited his son, Dr. Joseph Novak, at San Antonio, and his brother, Captain Lumir Novak, at Foster Field. Mr. Novak says that Texas is humming with war activity, that troop movements are using all available transportation fa-cilities and that the people are very war conscious.

The List Keeps Growing, Death Penalty and Good Time Debates Loom
Remember a few weeks ago when I told you how to make an election-tracking chart for the 2014 primary election? Well, you’re going to have to add a few more names to the Republican gubernatorial hopefuls. State Auditor Mike Foley has made it official, he wants to be the Republican nominee. The father of six who served a few years as the state Senator from Lincoln’s mostly Catholic and pro-life 29th District has given up a sure thing run for another term as auditor to go after the top elected state job. He made a name for himself in the non-partisan Unicameral introducing five anti-abortion bills during his tenure. As auditor, Foley hasn’t been afraid to tackle the University of Nebraska system and the burgeoning mass of, some say out-of-control, bureaucracy known as the Department of Health and Human Services. He has brought light to the fact that millions in available federal dollars have been left on the table by inattentive department employees. Some have even lost their jobs as a result of his audits and public announcement of same. There’s no doubt that he would appeal to the fiscal conservatives. Some fear he may cut too much. Likewise, in a primary field already crowded with term-limited seated state senators, Foley can be seen as a front-runner. Or at least he was for a couple days until a familiar face, absent the oft-disparaged red stocking cap, emerged as yet another Republican gubernatorial hopeful. Yes, that millionaire Pete Ricketts. The 49-year-old financial whiz-kid – OK, his dad started Ameritrade – who is also part owner of the Chicago Cubs baseball team decided not to go after the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by former Lincoln Mayor, governor and U.S. Ag Secretary Mike Johanns. Ricketts failed miserably in his attempt to unseat incumbent Democrat Ben Nelson a few years ago and apparently learned an important lesson – you can’t buy an election.

Sydney Pavlik started pitching the game for the Schuyler/Howells-Dodge/Clarkson-Leigh softball game on Thursday, September 12. The girls struggled against Crete and lost 10-6. Sydney made it through one and two thirds innings before Destiny Indra came in. Destiny pitched five and a third innings. Destiny had 5K, 8BB and 3H. Hannah Baumert led the team with a double, single and a walk. Destiny Indra, Megan Bahns, Leah Grovijohn and Julie Kempf all added a hit a piece. "Although the Warriors got off to a rough start they did eventually settle down and took a good Crete team to the wire. Each game that we play the girls are gelling and getting better." said Coach Adam Indra.
