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.

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.

They’re back, and look what they brought with them
Capitol View
By J.L. 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

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.
Health and Human Services
Committee Chair Sen. Kathy
Campbell of Lincoln says she
is ready to take another shot

at expanded Medicaid coverage to help more than 79,000
Nebraskans who can’t afford
insurance even though they are
working. 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.

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.”

Nebraska Department of Roads to hold
public meetings across the state
The Nebraska Department of
Roads (NDOR) has scheduled
four public meetings across the
state to begin discussions on
how to best invest $600 million
in state highway improvement
projects under the next cycle of
the Build Nebraska Act (BNA). 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. In addition, staff will present
the current list of candidate
projects and give attendees the
opportunity to suggest additional projects for consideration.
Each of the following public meetings will be held from
5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. on their
respective dates. The public is
encouraged to attend any of the
following meetings.
•Meeting 1: Alliance January 12, 2016 Knight Museum & Sandhills

Ashland, NE 68003
Based on feedback from
these meetings, NDOR staff
will refine the expanded prioritization process and begin scoring projects. Additional meetings will be held in spring 2016
to discuss specific projects; announcement of the next round
of BNA projects is planned
for summer 2016. Actual construction of the selected projects is not anticipated to begin
until 2023 or after.

Online reviews can benefit shoppers and retailers alike
Word-of-mouth has long been an ally of small business. 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.

It’s that time of the year when snow,
ice and cold weather can affect our
physical and mental health. Think how
nice it would be not to have to go out on
cold, windy days. Not to have to shovel
snow or move around on the ice and to
not have to pay high utility bills. These
are just some of the many benefits that
moving into a nursing home or assisted
living can provide for you. Other benefits
include 3 square meals a day, 7 days a
week that you don’t have to cook or buy
groceries for. Transportation to your
doctor appointments if you don’t want
to travel alone or drive yourself, we go
as far as Hastings if needed. We have
activities a couple times daily and we
always have staff around to visit with.
We also have physical, occupational, and
speech therapies available. The Beaver
City Manor and Assisted Living provide
you or your loved ones a home away
from home. We have both semi private
and private rooms available at this time.
Come to our small family-like home

that we are constantly improving, and
have lunch with us. If interested contact

$23,214.00
December 31, 2021
Predominant Land Use: Dryland cropground and grassland
This tract is located 6 miles east of Beaver City, NE.
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.
All monies received by the Board’s agents will be deposited subject to approval of the lease by the Board of
Educational Lands and Funds. In the event a lease is not approved, the appropriate refunds will be issued.
All County Farm Service Agency information for the Board of Educational Lands and Funds is public
information and is obtainable by contacting the local office.
