At mid-month, rainfall accumulations totaled three or more inches across the eastern third of the State. As the month closed, snow cover was present in many areas, limiting fieldwork activities and livestock grazing. The combination of snow and rain left many feedlots muddy until cold temperatures late in the month caused soils to freeze. Topsoil moisture rated 2 percent very short, 13 short, 80 adequate, and 5 surplus. Subsoil moisture rated 3 percent very short, 18 short, 77, and 2 surplus. Field Crops Report: Winter wheat condition rated 0 percent very poor, 3 poor, 38 fair, 51 good, and 8 excellent.

No Lincoln, Neb. —The history and vision for the future of international trade for U.S. agriculture will be the subject of the next Heuermann Lecture on Jan. 12. Clayton Yeutter, former U.S. trade representative and U.S. secretary of agriculture, and Darci Vetter, the chief agricultural negotiator for the Office of the United States Trade Representative, will have a panel discussion. Heuermann Lecture Clayton Yeutter Heuermann Lecture Darci Vetter The free lecture, sponsored by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, will be at 7 p.m. at the Nebraska Innovation Campus Conference Center, 2021 Transformation Drive. A 6:30 p.m. reception precedes the lecture. Yeutter recently retired as senior adviser of international trade for Hogan Lovells, LLP, in Washington, D.C., one of the nation’s oldest and largest law firms. Previously he acted as counselor to President George H.W. Bush for domestic policy, a cabinet-level post. From 1989 to 1991, he was U.S. secretary of agriculture and was responsible for administration of the fourth-largest department of the United States in budget terms (nearly $50 billion) and sixth largest in employment (more than 100,000). From July 1985 until January 1989, he was U.S. trade representative, reporting directly to the president on all trade matters. He was born in Eustis and spent 18 years operating a 2,500-acre farm, ranch and cattle-feeding enterprise in central Nebraska. As chief agricultural negotiator at the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, Vetter is responsible for bilateral and multilateral negotiations and policy coordination regarding agricultural trade. In her previous role at USDA as deputy undersecretary, she oversaw the department’s international activities. Before joining USDA, she was an international trade adviser on the staff of the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance. Before that, Vetter spent six years at the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, including as director for agricultural affairs. She also was the director for sustainable development in the U.S. Trade Representative’s environment office. She received her master of public affairs degree and a certificate in science, technology and environmental policy from Princeton University and her undergraduate degree from Drake University in Des Moines. She grew up in Nebraska on a family farm. Heuermann Lectures are free and open to the public. •Continued on Page 3 Opinion ARAPAHOE PUBLIC MIRROR • WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6, 2016 •PAGE 2 arapahoemirror.com •Nebraska Timeline •From the Director’s Desk Virginia Valenzuela, Director Furnas-Harlan Partnership As we begin the New Year with self-focused resolutions and intentions, let’s amend to go about it from a different angle this year. Instead, let’s try to make ourselves better people from the inside out rather than the outside in, because what you value and hold in your heart manifests itself into our families, our friends, and our communities. Therefore, in order to transform our towns, communities, families, and ourselves, we need to get to the root of where our values, and actions stem from; and that’s the center and the heart of man. How is this relevant to the economic development of our region? Quite simply, we all want to see our towns, our friends, and our families prosper and flourish. However, the normative definition of prosperity and success is very superficial and only addresses the visible and shallow characteristics of our region, and never addresses the underlying wellspring from which the success or the failure of our communities ultimately stems from. Therefore, the true and deep rooted success and prosperity of our communities doesn’t revolve around how nice our homes look, how many people drive fancy cars, or how many big name businesses we have. Rather the true and honest root of success and prosperity begins within each and every person within our region, and once we address the true interior motives that drive ourselves, and make the necessary changes for the good, we will then begin to see ourselves, our families, our communities, our towns, and our region effortlessly transform into a place that is attractive to good people and good businesses. Thereby, good rooted economic development and growth flourishes naturally from good centered people and communities that whole-heartedly value, respect, look out for each other, and want to see their fellow man succeed, and aren’t afraid to sacrifice of themselves and give generously to aid in the success of others. With this being said, our communities are currently in dire need of an attitude adjustment. The prevailing mindset of: “What’s in it for me?” has got to go. There are many good people here that are trying to do good things for the sake of others, and their efforts are being suffocated and muffled by those who would rather stand by, bad mouth, and mock the efforts of those who are in the trenches working to make this area good for everybody. Therefore, it is my suggestion that one of the best places to begin with the transformation of ourselves and the attitude adjustment of our communities would be to guard our words more carefully. Words of negativity breed negativity in others. It is also true that words of kindness, compassion, encouragement, and overall positivity also breeds positivity in others. By adopting this approach, you are slowly and intentionally transforming yourself into a better version of yourself, and thus will follow, the transformation of the heart of our communities. This isn’t a quick fix process rather it is a long and slow but intentional effort to sure up the foundation of our area so that there will be a true and lasting success and prosperity of our area for years and decades to come. A community with a solid foundation will stand longer than those whose communities are rooted in superficial and shallow prosperity.

Schmidt Statehouse Correspondent The Nebraska Press Association Lawmakers are back in session today (January 6) and they hit the ground running. It’s a short session, so while they still have time to introduce new bills for discussion, carry-over items are ready for debate by the 49 officially non-partisan senators. In addition to the specific carry-over bills, there are carryover ideas, recurring themes if you will. Chief among them is the governor’s continuing promise of property tax relief. And with that promise comes the quote which shows up in Governor Pete Ricketts’ news releases often (most recently on December 15, 2015): “As I travel the state, property tax relief is the number one priority on the minds of Nebraskans,” said Governor Ricketts. During the 2015 session, lawmakers worked with the governor to bring the Property Tax Credit Relief Fund (established in 2007) to a record level making $408 million in property tax relief available over the next two years. “There is, however, more work to be done, and my administration will continue to prioritize property tax relief in the upcoming session,” he said. That sounds good on its face. But there are a number of other things that can impact that lofty goal. The Appropriations and BULL SALE?

Nebraska 2x2/2x4 Display Ad Network Revenue Committees have to be mindful of the less-than-expected tax receipts predicted by the state Economic Forecasting Advisory Board. Couple that with an increasing cry for revisions in state aid to schools. Everybody wants the state to do more, but they can’t agree on how to do it. More than 60 percent of property taxes collected in Nebraska currently go to K-12 education. Then there’s the agriculture sector, which says it is paying too much property tax in an era when crop prices are declining. Nebraska Farm Bureau President Steve Nelson says state tax policies are driving people off farms and ranches. He says the state needs to limit the amount it pays to schools. That’s the only way; otherwise farm and ranch families will go out of business forcing more consolidation in agriculture. In recent years, property valuations increased as land prices rose steadily. Those prices have softened recently and farm profitability is down. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has forecast farm income at $58.3 billion nationally in 2015, a drop of 36 percent from last year. That’s the lowest since 2006. Business and Labor Committee Chairman Sen. Burke Harr of Omaha says this session is the right time to look at Nebraska’s opportunities to prosper and grow by addressing the shortage of skilled workers that has left some good-paying jobs unfilled. He says it’s an area of common interest for the Legislature and the governor. He said items to be considered include: tax incentives to help young Nebraskans pay off student loans; rural housing development and extended job training opportunities. The Education Committee will continue to grapple with school finance reform. Waverly School District Superintendent Bill Heimann said rural school districts are very sensitive to property owners since ag landowners typically serve on local school boards. He cautioned that it is very important to remember that school districts do not determine the property valuations for land, nor do they determine how schools will be funded.

Nebraska would join 28 other states and the District of Columbia in offering coverage to more low-income, childless, working adults. Previous efforts to pass the bill have stalled under opposition from conservative lawmakers and the governor. The federal government has promised to cover 100 percent of the program’s costs through 2016 and then ratchet its share of the payments down to 90 percent by 2020. According to estimates last session, Nebraska would have saved an estimated $3.5 million in the next fiscal year by expanding Medicaid. The governor has argued that the federal government could back out of the agreement leaving Nebraska holding the bag. Expect the Legislature’s Judiciary Committee to continue its oversight of the Department of Corrections as a new director works to restore confidence and correct past mistakes made by his predecessors. There will likely be talk of constructing or remodeling some facilities and trying to expand the amount of community sentencing alternatives. It’s a new session, let the work begin. ‘Nebraska Stories’ returns to NET Television for seventh season LINCOLN, Neb. (Dec. 29, 2015) – The popular NET Television series, “Nebraska Stories,” will premiere at 7 p.m. CT, Thursday, Jan. 7, with back-to-back 30-minute episodes. “Nebraska Stories” will broadcast consecutively at 7 p.m. every Thursday and repeat at 12 p.m. every Sunday for the 13-week season. “Nebraska Stories” covers a range of subject matter which is character driven and beautifully shot. It features smart storytelling and a bit of the unexpected as it explores who we are and how we live in our great state. The premiere episodes include these compelling stories: · “Rodeo Bullfighter” is about a young bullfighter from Lexington who hopes to go professional but will have to wait until he finishes school. “Pure Energy” features 2,000 kids who compete in the National Science Olympiad on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus. “Camp Roadshow” is a behind-the-scenes special look at one of the most popular series on PBS, “Antiques Roadshow,” from Omaha. · “The Artist’s Wife” follows the journey of wife, mother and artist Mary Tejeda Brown who painted the landscape of Northwest Nebraska, even as her vision dimmed due to macular degeneration. “The Girl from Broken Bow” explores a family treasure that reveals a surprising story. “Against the Current” excerpted from the NET documentary “Medicine Woman,” tells the story of Dr. Susan La Flesche, the first Native American doctor who built her own hospital on the Omaha Reservation. Continued on Page 3 Omaha Newsboys, 1886 B o y s hawking newspapers on the streets are a thing of the past in this digital age, but they used to be ubiqFrederick Blaine uitous in Humphrey pholarger cittographed a Linies, includcoln newsboy, ing Omaprobably about ha. The 1910. Daily Bee of August 15, 1886, provided an outline of both their business and the lives they led: “There are about twenty boys who make a business of selling daily papers. About half of these sell morning papers. The other half are too lazy or too independent to make the exertion which the selling of both morning and evening papers involves. . . .Promptly at five o’clock [a.m.] the morning newsboys begin to gather about the different offices and by half past five they are ‘stocked up’ and commence to patrol their various beats with the cry, ‘Here’s yer mornin’ Bee, Herald, or Republican.’ They keep on the jump until about nine o’clock, or at the latest ten or half past, when all their papers are disposed of. A good, active boy can sell easily twenty or thirty papers in a morning, and as many or more in the evening, even without any particular sensation to cause an unusual sale. The evening boys begin their labor about four or half past, and by seven or eight o’clock have disposed of all their papers. Some of the boys fill in the hours between the issue of the morning and evening papers by blacking boots, and thereby add considerably to their earnings. “It is a mistaken idea entertained by many people that the newsboy, work as he may, can earn but just barely enough to keep body and soul together. The fact is, on the other hand, that a smart, active newsboy earns as much or more than the average dry goods clerk. It is no uncommon thing for one of these bright youngsters to make $8 or $10 a week, or even as high as $14. Ten dollars a week would be a fair average for the most active of the newsboys— and those owning the most lucrative corners. His profits are small, to be sure, for he makes but two and a half cents on each paper. But then his sales are quick, especially when he has anything to cry out in the way of a sensation. During the presidential election, and for days thereafter, it is no uncommon thing for the newsboys to make from $4 to $8 per day. “As already intimated, each boy has his ‘beat’ or corner, on which he is allowed to sell. Woe to the unprincipled newsboy who invades the territory of a fellow merchant. If the injured party is big enough he promptly proceeds to thump the transgressor in a manner befitting an apostle of the great John L. [Sullivan, the boxer]. If, on the other hand, the pirate is too large for the other man, the latter promptly gathers some of his friends to his aid and thus backed up ‘sails into’ his adversary. However, instances of such transgressions are rare indeed. There is a sort of unwritten law among the boys on this subject which is tacitly respected and observed. . . .If a newsboy for any reason quits the business he sells his corner to the highest bidder. A choice beat frequently brings from five to ten dollars.” The article went on to describe how the newsboys spent their earnings, including on theater admissions, “crap shooting,” pool hall gambling, tobacco, “and it must be confessed, liquor.” Some newsboys were required to turn over earnings to their parents, who often depended on them to help support the family. Newsboys who did not live at home or who had no family for some reason or another, lived on the street in dry goods boxes, “spacious doorways,” or slept in barns. The writer noted that a newsboy would spend as little as possible on food and lodging “rather than miss a seat in the gallery at some blood and thunder theatrical performance.” SHOP ARAPAHOE Community News •Holrook News BOBBI MOORE 962-7261 or 962-5417 Jim and IdaMae McBride attended the Wauneta/Palisade basketball game with Doug Breinig on Tuesday.

Specifically, these meetings will focus on capital improvements, which include projects like adding new lanes or building new expressways or viaducts. NDOR is updating and expanding the project prioritization process to more vigorously consider economic impacts and include more stakeholder input. To that end, the public is invited to attend one of four regional meetings where NDOR staff will introduce the expanded project prioritization process concept and ask for feedback.

Customers who have positive experiences with a small business often share those experiences with friends, family members and coworkers, and that word-of-mouth can help hardworking small businesses establish themselves in a community. But reviews don’t just benefit small businesses. Consumers are increasingly relying on online review sites such as Yelp and TripAdvisor to help them make more informed decisions about where to spend their money. A glowing review can inspire men and women to try new neighborhood eateries or prove helpful as they search for contractors to work on their homes. All types of businesses have been reviewed online, and more and more reviews are being posted by the day. Such information can prove invaluable to prospective customers, but only when reviewers post accurate and detailed accounts of their experiences with a given business. The following are a few things to keep in mind when writing online reviews. • Be accurate and detailed. When writing an online review, it’s important that men and women write reviews that are as accurate and detailed as possible. If a business left you with mixed feelings, share those feelings, explaining in detail just what you did and did not like about your experience. Businesses often read online reviews to see which aspects of their business are working and which might need some adjustments, so don’t be afraid to share your honest opinions when composing a review. • Don’t write a mean-spirited review. Though it’s important to write an honest review, a mean-spirited review will only reflect negatively on its author. Steer clear of making personal and potentially insulting comments about staff members. Readers tend to consider mean-spirited reviews with a large grain of salt, and many even dismiss such reviews as personal vendettas written by irrational consumers or even competitors hoping to make the business look bad. In addition, the business itself will likely dismiss a mean-spirited review without addressing any of your legitimate concerns. If you had a bad experience, explain what went wrong but do so rationally and without malice. • Don’t write a novel. Online reviews should be detailed but concise. Fellow consumers don’t need to know what led you to a certain business, especially if it takes you 1,000 words to explain your journey. Share only those things you would want to know about a business if you were perusing an online review site, keeping your past experiences and long-winded explanations to yourself. Men and women who rely on online reviews tend to skip lengthy reviews, so don’t waste your time writing a review that’s overly wordy. • Avoid offering alternatives. The purpose of writing an online review is to review a given business and not to point potential readers in the direction of that business’ competitors. Reviews that do the latter tend to read as though they were written by a competitor, which can make readers skeptical of the author’s intentions. Readers don’t click on a review about an Italian restaurant to learn about the new Indian restaurant around the corner, so avoid mentioning other businesses. Online review sites often are great resources for consumers looking to patronize local businesses, and such resources are even more valuable when review writers take the time to compose careful, concise and accurate reviews.

Improvements to be sold include: 1,070 rods of fence, stockwell and dugout. Total Value: $17,850.00 The pipe, rod and cylinder and pumpjack, submersible pump, pipe and pump cable are to be considered personal property and are subject to removal by the previous lessee. The stockwell in the NE4SE4 is owned by the School Trust and all right, title and interest shall remain with the School Trust. STIPULATION: Lessee will immediately make application to the Natural Resources Conservation Service for an EQIP contract to construct a stockwell, pumping plant, livestock water pipelines and interior electric fencing. The extent, construction, and design of these improvements must be approved by the Board of Educational Lands and Funds. The improvements included in the EQIP contract will be installed as soon as possible after cost-share funds are available or installed during the next calendar year after cost-share is deemed to be unavailable, by Lessee, at Lessee's sole and exclusive cost and expense. The Board may, at its discretion, agree to participate in the cost of the pipeline. The Lessee will remove any abandoned fencing materials on this property including approximately 80 rods of fence along the west side of the pasture. Grazing on the pasture in 2016 will be limited to the removal of 130 AUMs (animal unit months) of grazing or the equivalent of 100 pair for one month after October 1. For calendar years 2017 through 2021, Lessee will submit annually to the Board of Educational Lands and Funds a written grazing plan satisfactory to the Board for the use of this lease, specifying the stocking rates and grazing dates, which must be approved in writing by the Field Representative prior to the commencement of grazing each year and must be followed by Lessee. Rental on the grazing acres will be adjusted to match the grazing plan. A farm plan specifying the crops planted, fertilizer program, weed control, etc. may be required for each year of this lease. During the last year of this lease, if spring crops are planted on any acreage of this land, that same acreage cannot be planted to fall seeded crops except as a cover crop to prevent erosion or for grazing. These same acres will not be eligible for an election to harvest and any fall seeded crops thus planted will have no value at the expiration of the lease. The Board reserves the right to permit such fall seeded crops and approve an election to harvest or to appraise the crop in the last year of the lease if circumstances so warrant. In order for anyone to be eligible to bid on a school land lease, they must be able to contract in accordance with Nebraska Law and have deposited with the County Treasurer of the County in which the land is located, or with a representative of the Board, a bank draft, cashier’s check, certified check or money order made payable to the Board of Educational Lands and Funds, or cash, equivalent to the 2016 rental of said tract. Said rental deposit may be submitted at any time until the tract is announced “Sold”. If more than one qualified bidder is interested in a lease, it will be sold to the party bidding the highest cash bonus, in addition to the first year’s rent, at the auction. Bonus bids must be paid to the Board of Educational Lands and Funds immediately following the auction. Bonus bids are a one-time payment which covers the entire term of the lease. All sales of educational land leases at public auction are considered to be non-revocable offers, which shall become binding contracts only upon acceptance and approval following the sale by the Board of Educational 2. or upon acceptance and approval by the Board, Lands and Funds. Leases will be effective January Page 1, 2016, whichever occurs later. Leases will be issued only to those who sign the “Lease and Application” in person or through an Attorney-InFact who presents a Power of Attorney at the time of the auction. A sample Power of Attorney is available on the Board’s website. Lease assignments submitted to the Board within 30 days of the auction will be processed without fee. The Board’s standard form lease sets out the terms of the lease of the real estate to which this notice pertains; provided, however, any additional stipulations pertaining specifically to this real estate, which are included in this notice, shall be added to and become a part of the complete terms of the lease pertaining to this real estate. The Board’s standard form lease may be inspected at the County Treasurer’s office or on the Board’s website and a copy, which includes any additional stipulations pertaining to this real estate, can be obtained by contacting the Board’s Lincoln office or the Field Representative for this county named above. The purchaser shall, within thirty days of the date of Board approval, pay the amount of the value of the improvements (and growing crops, if applicable) as stated above, to the County Treasurer of the County wherein the land is situated. If such payment is not made on time and in full, all payments made by the purchaser to the Board may be declared forfeited and a new lease or sale of the land may be authorized. All improvements affixed to the land which are not listed above are and shall remain owned by the School Trust. No improvements shall be placed on the land by Lessee without the prior written approval of the Board; and any improvements made by Lessee without the prior written approval of the Board shall be permanently owned exclusively by the Board.
