Social Center to celebrate 35 years of service to town Farm Bill meetings to be held for producers University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension and the USDA Farm Service Agency are joining to provide educational meetings across Nebraska on the 2014 Farm Bill. “The new farm bill provides producers a new, updated safety net for crop producers, but also provides a new, complex set of decisions,” said Brad Lubben, UNL extension policy specialist. “It’s important that growers have information they need as decisions regarding commodity program selection are complex and will last for the duration of the farm bill.” Information on the new farm bill and the new commodity program decisions is already available to producers on UNL’s farm bill webpage at http://farmbill.unl.edu. To extend this information and reach producers across Nebraska, UNL Extension and FSA are collaborating to deliver a series of educational meetings in every FSA service region across the state. The meeting series began in October and continues through January, with more than 30 meetings each in the months of November and December. Each meeting will feature the county executive director from the local FSA office to address farm program details and a UNL Extension educator from the region to address the analysis and decision tools available to help producers make good decisions regarding the new farm program. Specific topics will include: The farm program sign-up process, including required documentation and deadlines Base, yield and commodity program decisions and considerations for your operation Calculation of farm program payments Online decision-aid tools to help you determine which program is best for your operation. Input data specific to your operation to examine various options “The meetings will be a great opportunity for producers to learn more about the programs, understand the choices and tradeoffs between the revenue and price safety nets, and begin to analyze their options and decisions on farm programs and related crop insurance provisions,” Lubben said.

The Plainview Social Center will be hosting a Birthday Dinner in honor of the Center’s 35-year anniversary on Sunday, Dec. 7 from 11:30 to 1 p.m. with a short program to follow at 1:15 p.m. The Plainview Senior Center, now Plainview Social Center, is a non-profit organization with 35 years of history in Plainview. Throughout those 35 years, the Center has been providing meals to area seniors and the public through dinein and delivery services, health education clinics, nutrition education clinics, activities and fund-raising events, as well as providing a hall for event rental and public gatherings such as public forums and spe-

cial speakers. The birth of the Senior Center stemmed from many seniors in the area not having anything or any place to go for meals or activities. A suggestion box was placed at the Post Office in 1977 and many comments were made about the elderly having nowhere to go. So, members of the Plainview Chamber of Commerce, Norma Allen and Walt Rose, called for an open meeting of the senior citizens of Plainview to discuss the possibility of forming a “club.” This meeting was held in September of 1977 with 22 people present. At that time, a committee was created of Walt Rose, Norma Allen,

Plainview Telephone takes Club’s Parade of Lights Trophy The Plainview Community Club hosted the second annual “Parade of Lights” in downtown Plainview on Saturday, Nov. 29 with 11 entries this year.

Cindy Fluckey, Allen Thieman, Clyde Fitch, Cecil Casselman and Lydia Mueller, to investigate further a program for area seniors. The first formal meeting was held at the home of Norma Allen, and plans were made to have a Christmas carry-in dinner and a raffle of a television to help raise money for the center. This dinner was held at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church with nearly 100 attending. Corporation papers were drawn up, and the Senior Citizens became “incorporated” on January 20, 1978. Carry-in dinners were held each month at the Legion Club building, and on January 24, 1979, the senior citizens group purchased the American Legion Club building (where the Center currently stands) with Norma Allen and Cecil Casselman signing the purchase agreement. Donations were collected to pay for the building with 538 families donating – the entire cost of the building was raised in a six-month time period. The first officers were Norma Allen, Gordan Raff, Cindy Fluckey and Doug Russell. In 1979 it was decided to join the Northeast Nebraska Area Agency on Aging and to enter the meal program for the elderly. The first congregate meal was served to 94 people on October 22, 1979. Home delivery was added later to the program as well. “Today, 35 years later, we are still in the same building,” said Manager Diane Elwood, “serving home-delivered meals and congregate meals, with the NNAAA. Many changes have happened throughout the 35 years, with the biggest one being the name change.” In the Center’s recent history it was agreed to change the name of the Plainview Senior Center to the Plainview Social Center, to inform and encourage the public at large that the building is not only for use by the elderly, but for all age groups. “We still continue to have many social activities, health education and nutrition events going on,” said Elwood, “and we’ve also added coffee each morning.” Board members currently serving on the Center’s management team are Gene Scott, Larry Petersen, Lois Moser, Janet Scott, Betty Kudera, Clint Post, Fayetta Miller, Larry and Darlene Bonge and Linda Beasley. Staff members are Diane Elwood, manager; Donna Petersen, cook and Jennifer Weinrich, housekeeper. All are invited to the birthday dinner on Dec. 7.

“Breaking the Gridlock”

Babbling Brook A fan, not super fan This week there was some pretty interesting news to come out of the University of Nebraska. The athletic director decided to fire long-time coach Bo Pelini, and then the world exploded. The end. Actually, there were some really interesting stories and profiles that came out about “Raging Bo” in the few short days that have followed, like two (but it feels like years already.) The part that I really didn’t understand, and haven’t understood for a really long time, is that the highest paid employee in our state is our football coach at the University. For what Mr. Pelini was making for his modest 9-3 seasons would’ve paved nearly all of Plainview’s unpaved streets, built and paid for (in just three years) our entire lagoon system, rebuilt our transfer station, re-constructed at least four blocks of downtown Plainview with brand new buildings in a year, or given free rides to all of our students for approximately 10 years (and then some.) Seriously folks, $7.5 million dollars. $150,000 a month for the next 50-some months. To coach football. I understand that the “program” brings the University a lot of money – in fact, I bet most of us would absolutely be astounded at how much money transfers in and out and through our University thanks to our football program. And therein lies the rub. Where the money goes, so goes the program, and the directors, and the coaches. Whoever provides the funding (Big 10, Big 12, Boosters, Alumni, Administration, Students), that’s where the attitude and staff goes – it’s a simple matter really. Win football, direct the entire course of education funding for thousands of students – don’t win football, well….we can always find some other “poor jerk” to take on $150,000 a month (more than doctors, surgeons, Presidents and some third-world countries) make in a lot more time. Go Huskers….? No one is worth that kind of money - not CEOs, not world leaders and certainly not football coaches.

YOUR VIEW As a concerned parent I urge you, the people of Plainview, to attend a Special Meeting of the Plainview Ball Backers Program on Monday December 8th at 7:30 p.m. at the Community Building. The Ball Backers Board is in need of members willing to serve a one year term to continue to keep the Summer Softball and Baseball Program running. The Ball Backers Board organizes and facilitates the Summer Softball and Baseball program for the youth of Plainview. If there is not enough people willing to serve on the board, the Ball Backers Program will cease to exist. Last summer more than 100 youth participated in the ball program,

please do not let these children miss out. Not only does the Ball Backers Program serve the youth of this community, it also helps provide revenue to our town with numerous teams coming into the community throughout the summer patronizing various businesses. Please plan to attend the meeting Monday evening. If you are unable to attend the meeting but would like to help the Ball Backers Program please call Kim Miller at 582-3417 or Mary Dougherty at 582-4786. Parents, grandparents, citizens young and old please step up to the plate, so our children will have the chance to hit a home run! Paula Hoffman

By: Deb Fischer US Senator

Despite gridlock on many of the big issues in Washington, I have made a concerted effort to find areas of agreement with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle. As a result of my persistence, I have made progress on a number of issues important to Nebraskans, including regulatory relief. A recent example is Congress’s passage of my bipartisan Enhance Labeling, Accessing, and Branding of Electronic Licenses (E-Label) Act. Behind this bill is a story worth sharing. The chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee is Jay Rockefeller, a long-time liberal senator from West Virginia. As a member of that committee, I had an introductory meeting with Chairman Rockefeller. Based on our initial conversation, it was unclear whether we would be able to find much common ground on policy matters. Undeterred, I made it a mission to pursue legislation we could work on together that would both help Nebraskans and prove that a liberal West Virginia senator could collaborate with a conservative senator from Nebraska. I also had a limited opening to work with Chairman Rockefeller as he is retiring at the end of this year. My E-Label Act provided an opportunity for us to come together. The E-Label Act would ease certain regulatory requirements on manufacturers of products such as phones, computers, and other electronics, by giving them the option to meet the physical label requirement digitally. The Federal Communica-

tions Commission (FCC) currently requires most device manufacturers to etch or otherwise permanently place regulatory information and symbols on the exterior of approved products. As electronic devices in the marketplace become smaller, physical label requirements may become increasingly difficult to meet and more costly for manufacturers. The e-label option promises to lower costs for both producers and consumers. After drafting my bill, I reached out to Chairman Rockefeller to seek his support. I was pleased that the chairman agreed to be the lead Democrat sponsor of my legislation and together, we were able to rally our Senate colleagues on both sides of the aisle. As a result, the bill passed with unanimous approval on September 18, 2014. On November 13, 2014, the House of Representatives – led by Congressman Bob Latta (Ohio-05) – unanimously passed our bill, which is now awaiting President Obama’s signature before becoming law. Sending a bill to the president is no small feat; in the past two years, only 185 bills have passed Congress and actually become law. This commonsense legislation will provide relief for job creators, increase options for consumers, and bring outdated regulations into the 21st century. Moreover, our legislation will go a long way to increase options and lowers costs for manufacturers while also making required regulatory information more easily accessible to consumers. I look forward to the President signing the E-Label Act into law and I am confident the FCC’s Office of Engineering and Technology will do

I agree. Reaching accord on smaller, yet important issues can lead to greater trust among senators, which is necessary for progress on the larger challenges facing our nation. Since taking office, I have held over 280 public meetings across the state since taking office in 2013. Nebraskans consistently tell me that they want lawmakers in Washington to step up, work together, and do their jobs. I will continue to do my part to build relationships, work with my colleagues, and advance meaningful solutions for all Nebraskans. Thank you for taking part in the democratic process, and I will visit with you again next week.

a good job updating our labeling rules. Notably, FCC Commissioners Michael O’Rielly and Jessica Rosenworcel were vocal supporters of our legislation. I will continue to find opportunities to work with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle. As an Omaha World-Herald editorial recently noted, despite ideological differences with Senator Rockefeller, “a constructive relationship developed, and Rockefeller lent his support to a Fischer bill, passed by the Senate, about regulatory requirements for the manufacture of electronic devices. Lawmakers need to see if consensus on the smaller issues can help lead to sensible legislative action on the bigger ones.”

The Plainview Library Foundation would like to say Thank you to the community of Plainview for their support in passing the library bond. We will continue to work hard to make the new library a reality.

To promote radon awareness and make it easier for Nebraskans to test their homes for radon, the Northeast Nebraska RC&D has once again partnered with the North Central District Health Department to offer free radon test kits. Winter months are an opportune time for Nebraskans to test for radon in their homes. During winter, homes are closed up and can trap the toxic gas. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer for people who have never smoked. “Radon is a radioactive gas. You can’t see it, taste it or even smell it. It comes from the decaying of naturally occurring uranium in the earth’s soil and exists in varying amounts in most soils. It enters the home through cracks or holes in concrete floors or walls, sump pits, and drinking water from private wells. Once radon becomes trapped inside an en-

closed space, it can accumulate,” said Dick Haskin of the local RC&D. The free tests kits are a quick screening method which indicates potential radon problems. They should be placed in the lowest livable level of the house. North Central District Health Department does follow up with anyone who has a test result of 4.0 pCi/L or above which is a health standard set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. For more information on radon, radon test kits and radon mitigation, call North Central District Health Department, 1-877-336-2406 or visit the EPA’s website at www.epa.gov/radon. North Central District Health Department serves Antelope, Boyd, Brown, Cherry, Holt, Keya Paha, Knox, Pierce, and Rock Counties. Kits can be picked up at the RC&D office during business hours of 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday each week.

P.O. Box 9 Plainview, NE 68769 Wrapping Up 2014 To get a running start on 2015, make time between holiday obligations to take care of financial and household business that needs to be wrapped up before the end of the year. Here are some possibilities: ¥ Are there any credits cards you can pay off now and start the New Year with a zero balance? ¥ Make donations to a charity so you get the tax deduction for 2014. Review Charity Navigator, CharityWatch and GuideStar to be sure your money is going to a worthy cause and not administration fees. ¥ Calculate your tax withholding to be sure it’s on target so you don’t pay extra taxes starting in 2015. Births, deaths, marriage and divorce all are reasons to review your withholding. Don’t cut it too close, but paying extra (and getting a big refund in April) means you’re giving an interest-free loan to the government. ¥ Determine whether you can make an additional contribution to your 401(k). Whatever you put in your account is tax deferred until the money is withdrawn. ¥ If you own a home, make one additional mortgage payment before the end of the year. Do it early enough that it arrives in the mail and is processed so it shows up on your end of year Form 1098 statement. ¥ Check the balance of your medical flexible spending account and try to use it up before the end of the year when you could lose it. You’re only allowed to roll over $500 into 2015. Some companies allow a grace period to March before the funds must be used or lost, but determine your company’s policy to be certain. Make appointments for eye exams and glasses, have periodic lab work done and schedule a medical checkup. ¥ Review your life-insurance policies and retirement accounts, not only to see if they need to be changed in any way, but to consider the beneficiaries of both. If there have been births, deaths, marriages or divorces, or minors becoming adults, you might want to make changes. ¥ Open an IRA, if you don’t have one. The income is tax deferred. The limit is $5,500, or if you’re age 50 and older, the limit is $6,500. ¥ If you have property taxes that are partially due in 2015, pay the total amount in advance and deduct on Schedule A.

¥ Is it a great price? Before you rush to stock up, read the signs in the grocery stores to make sure the item that looks like such a good deal really is. Sometimes, products are “featured” with a tag that looks like a sale price, when the real price is only pennies more or no savings at all! ¥ Honey has antibacterial properties? Yep! Try rubbing a bit of it over a small cut for faster, more natural healing. ¥ “To separate yolks from egg whites, simply crack eggs into a shallow bowl and ‘suck’ the yolk out using an empty plastic water bottle. Squeeze the bottle slightly, then position the mouth of the bottle at the yolk and let go. It will magically slide up into the bottle, leaving the whites behind!” — T.T. in New York ¥ Make your own gift wrap from everyday items like newspaper (think color comics) and children’s drawings, which can be glued together along the edges. For a really unique wrapping, try inexpensive fabric. ¥ “This time-tested tip will keep your houseplants in the green while you’re away from home: Set plants in the bathtub in an inch or less of water. If your flowerpot does not have drain holes, get a short length of cotton rope and feed it from the topsoil to the tub. This will keep plants alive and thriving for a week or more.” — D.R. in Florida ¥ Unmatched socks are handydandy cleaners and have so many uses. Keep one by the dryer to get all the lint off the trap. Shake it out or pop it into the wash when needed.

Scavenger hunt benefits Pantry... Coach Mike Holton with Jaydin Doerr, Becca Wills, Merrick Alexander, Taelyr Beery and Kailee Rafert.

Hearing that the Plainview Food Pantry was in need in food, specifically canned items, FCCLA members held a scavenger hunt for food Monday, November 24th after their monthly meeting. Members collected 100 items which will be donated to the Plainview Food Pantry. Those participating in the drive were Logan Jacobsen, Jessica Stark, Heidi Nelson, Natalie Lingenfelter, Sharyn Sheppard, Cassie Mosel, Autumn Ickler, Andrew Nelson, and Chance Jacobsen. 

Bowlers open season at Kickoff Classic, Nov. 29 Submitted Article

Plainview bowlers traveled to Hastings to compete in the annual Kickoff Classic for the upcoming bowling season on Saturday, November 29th. Both teams were part of a 16 team competition in C and D. Once the number of teams were filled they cut off the entries. The format for the tournament was 15 games of Baker’s team competition with bonus pins given for each one on one match they win. The boys finished the tournament with an 8-7 record and rolled a total of 2,360 pins for an average score of 157. This was good enough for ninth place. Coach Mike Holton said, “I thought the boys did an exceptional job and it gave them an idea of where

they could improve in practice for the season. Colin Wright and Lane Campbell led the team competition but Dallas Jipp, Kenny Hart and newcomer Klay Cash bowled well. Carter Scott our other bowler was put on a pacer team and was able to compete in all 15 games and the experience will help him down the road.” The girls faced tough competition and led all of the teams in girls’ competition after the first five games rolling an 894 or a 178 average. After 10 games the girls slipped a little into second place with a 1,592 or a 159 average but came back strong in the final games to wind up with a 2,414 or a 160 average. This was good enough to earn them a runner-up finish behind McCool Junction and beating out Norfolk Catholic. “The girls were excited throughout

the match and really showed a lot of class,” said Coach Holton. “Merrick Alexander and Kailee Raefert led the girls in frames scored but without the other three girls, Jadin Doerr, Becca Wills and Taelyr Beery, we wouldn’t have gone very far.” The polls came out for pre-season this week and Plainview is the top rated team in the state in Class D. “The girls have to prove it throughout the year but I know that other teams will be gunning for Plainview,” said Holton. “We were missing Ashlyn Hoffart for the tournament and we will only be a stronger team when she returns.” The first competition for the boys and girls will be on Saturday, Dec. 6th in Leigh facing Clarkson-Leigh and Humphrey.
