A New Proposal ForGatling Gun At MuseumBy Gordon HopkinsAt the Jefferson County Com-

missioner’s Meeting of Tues., March 5, Fred Meyer was on hand to propose an alternative venue for the famed Gatling gun currently on display at the Fairbury City Museum. Meyer has proposed that the gun be placed instead on display on the main floor of the Jefferson County Courthouse.A Gatling gun is an early,

hand-cranked, rapid-fire weap-on, and is a forerunner to the modern machine gun. It was invented by Richard J. Gatling during the American Civil War, and later used in the Spanish-American War. The Gatling gun here in Fairbury is an impor-tant historical artifact, as rela-tively few remain. According to Meyer, in the early part of the last century, there were just four Gatling guns in Nebraska, “Two of them are in Minden, one is here in Fairbury and the other one was in Juniata, and they don’t know what happened to the one in Juniata.”It is Meyer’s contention that

the gun was donated with the intention of being a memorial

Dr. Richard Blatny, Sr., has been a solid foundation in the community of Fairbury for over 45 years. Blatny, Sr., has seen to the care of thousands of residents in the region and has watched families grow for gen-erations.Now, Blatny, Sr., is looking to

slow down a bit and heading into retirement. A special cel-ebration was held last Wednes-day at Jefferson Community Health and Life for the public to say goodbye to the longtime doctor.Dr. Blatny, Sr., received his

doctor of medicine degree in 1969 from the University of Nebraska College of Medicine in Omaha and completed his internship in 1970 at McKen-nan Hospital in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He served as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force from 1970-1973 and came to Fairbury in 1973. He is certified with the American

Board of Family Medicine and has served as president of the Nebraska Medical Association. Over his career he served as a past chairman of the Nebraska Medical Association Legislative Committee, past president of the Nebraska Academy of Family Physicians, past delegate to the American Academy of Family Physicians and a past member of the CIMRO of Nebraska, a former board member of Jeffer-son Community Health and Life and served as medical director of Heritage Care Center and a former board member of St. Mi-chael’s School.One of his first career high-

lights was as a flight surgeon while in the Air Force stationed in Alaska. He ended up deliver-ing his own son in the dead of winter, because the only other doctor on base was an ear, nose,

Photo by Gordon Hopkins/fairburyjournalnewsVeteran Of The Month— Emery W. Bessler of Plymouth was named Veteran of the Month by the Jefferson County Commissioners the morning of Tues., March 5. Emery Bessler graduated from Plymouth High School in 1944 and farmed with a neighbor under a “farm deferment from the military.” On March 06, 1945, he went to his local draft board and told them he wanted to serve his country in the military. He spent 17 weeks of Basic Training at Camp Fannin, Texas. His DD 214 lists him as a Clerk Typist 405. Upon returning from two weeks of leave he reported to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas and was sent to California where he and his fellow soldiers were shipped to Tokyo Bay, Japan. The trip took two weeks. Emery and his fellow soldiers were headed for the inva-sion of Japan when the Atomic Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan Aug. 6, 1945. Three days later a second Atomic Bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, resulting in Japan’s unconditional surrender Aug. 14, 1945, ending World War II. Emery was then stationed near the island of Leyte, Philippines and Guam until Sergeant Bessler was honorably discharged from the Air Force Nov. 29, 1946, after serving his country for one year, eight months and 23 days. Upon returning to Nebraska, Emery worked in the printing room at Store Craft in Beatrice for about one year before returning to the family farm for one year. At this point Emery and his brother farmed the Bruning Air Base for several years where they raised corn, milo, wheat, oats and lots of hay. Eventually he moved back to the family farm in rural Jansen where he and his wife Lois raised their family. After over 40 years of farming Emery retired and moved to Plymouth. Over the years Emery has been a member of American Legion Post 243 for 73 years where he served as Post Adjutant for nine years. He has been active in his church and served on the Church Board, Elevator Board, School Board and Natural Resource Board.

appeared at the County Com-missioners meeting of Feb. 26 to discuss concerns about the recent snow emergencies and the use of the weather alert system.Blue Rivers Basin Community

Alert System provides weather and other emergency alerts and community notifications to the citizens of Jefferson, Gage and Saline Counties. These alerts can be received by landline phone, email, cell phone and the system also posts to Face-book and Twitter social media sites. The system is sometimes referred to as “Reverse 911.”“We use it quite a bit for snow

emergencies,” said McKee. “We need more folks to sign up.”McKee then added, “I keep

reading and hearing comments that, 'We didn't know about a snow emergency.'”County Commissioner Mark

Not Enough Citizens UsingReverse 911 Service

Schoenrock said, “The County is requesting that Jefferson County Citizens sign up for the Reverse 911.”“If you get your car towed and

it costs a hundred and some dollars or whatever to go get it picked up,” McKee pointed out. “It was free to sign up to know that there was a snow emer-gency.”Cars parked on the street on a

snow route are subject to tow-ing when a snow emergency is declared.Schoenrock said, “This is for

the minutes. John, the Board would like to commend you for your proactive efforts in the nu-merous weather warnings that you've done this winter.”Schoenrock then added, “I

felt like, going into that storm last weekend, we were very well prepared. The Highway Depart-ment did a good job.”You can sign up for the service

to Union soldiers and never in-tended to end up in a museum. Meyer said, “I represent the Legion; I represent the PIA, the Plymouth Improvement Assoc.; I represent the town board; I also represent the Plymouth Alumni Assoc.”“I am very appreciative of

the Museum, the City of Fair-bury and the Museum Board for keeping it very well,” said Meyer. “They’ve done a great job of keeping it for almost 60 years now, but I get back to the fact that the intent was for it to be a war memorial for the fallen Union soldiers. It’s not a mu-seum piece.”The gun has been the subject

of a dispute between the cities of Fairbury and Plymouth for many years. The Gatling gun originally arrived in Nebraska in 1915 as a gift from the Navy to Plymouth’s Grand Army of the Republic post in honor of the Civil War veterans who orig-inally helped settled Plymouth.The gun was a part of a war

throat specialist.“That was quite an experience for me,”

Blatny, said.In his second year in Fairbury, he deliv-

ered three babies in one hour. Two of those babies, were his own twins.“We actually delivered three babies in one

hour, which was a hectic feat,” Blatny, Sr., said. “All went well.”Another Fairbury highlight was 16 years

ago when Dr. Rick Blatny, Jr., agreed to come to Fairbury to practice medicine.Many memories tied to his practice for Dr.

Blatny, Sr., dealt with not just caring for patients, but his friends.“Probably that stands out in my mind is

that I was entrusted to care for multiple generations of many of the families in Jef-ferson County and following them through their lives and I have always felt it was an honor and privilege to be entrusted with the care of these patients,” Blatny, Sr., said. “I think that probably makes family medicine special.”Blatny, Sr., plans on staying in Fairbury

and playing some golf, but having seen the world in his travels in the Air Force, he plans on exploring the United States while entering retirement.“I have lots of things on my bucket list, I

hope to get half of them done,” Blatny, Sr., said. “I plan on doing some traveling and just trying to stay very active.”Blatny, Sr., has 17 grandchildren, with

families all over the U.S. to visit.“That is reason for traveling, right there,”

Blatny, Sr., said. “I think there is so much to see in our country. I really intend on travel around the country, especially on the east coast, where there is so much history. I have not seen very much of it, so we want to travel around the United States itself and experience what is out there.”A huge Husker fan, Dr. Blatny, Sr., plans

to attend as many sporting events as he can, hunt and spend time on his farm out-side of Fairbury.

memorial in Plym-outh until Febr. of 1960, when the gun was loaned to the Fairbury City Museum. What was intended to be a temporary loan became a permanent gift after a member of the City Board signed it over two years later.Meyer provided

photos of a Gatling gun display in the Kearney County Courthouse in Min-den as an example of what he would like to see done with the gun.Meyer has looked

into creating a pos-sible display case for the gun, “I have contacted Brian Wieson, who is a cabinet maker by Plymouth. Actually, his son is a Legion member and he’s also in the Marines, and he is very will-ing to do this, make a cabinet for it. He’s thinking probably it would have to be (made) out of tem-pered glass.The Gatling gun is

estimated to weigh at least 200 pounds. Meyer said, “He would get a local slab of oak to put on the bottom of it.”The City of Fair-

bury will be cel-ebrating its 150th anniversary in Sept. of this year. Keeping that in mind, Meyer indicated he would prefer to have the

gun relocated after Sept., so as not to disrupt the celebra-tion. “I have to work with the City Muse-um Board, I have to work with the Fair-bury City Council, to make this happen, but I would like to see it by 2020, Me-morial Day.”Commissioner

Mark Schoenrock said, “Well, Fred, I think its wonder-ful. I think it ac-complishes at least three objectives. Number one, it tells the citizens of our county the his-tory of this Gatling gun. Number two, it gives all the citi-zens that will come

to the Courthouse an appreciation for the men and women who are veterans of this County that we live in freedom and peace because of their service. And number three, and maybe the most important, it will be an instructor of the rising generation of what has come be-fore them, that they live today in peace and freedom.”“Every week, there’s

going to be young men and young women coming in to get their driv-ers’ licenses. I see them in here all the time,” said Schoen-rock, holding up a cell phone. “Most of them are going to be in this thing. (Instead), they’re going to come over

and they’re going to look at this. It will be a reminder to them of what they have today and what’s come before them and that Gatling gun is a wonderful rep-resentation of that principle.”Meyer said to the

Council, “Maybe I did this the wrong way by coming to you first but I thought, you know, maybe I need to have your permission to have a spot for it be-fore, I think, before I go out and approach these other people.”Meyer will be going

before the Fairbury Museum Board on March 13 to discuss his proposal further. “I would hope to work with the Mu-seum Board and the City to make this happen.”

Repentance and ForgivenessLuke 24:44-47 -

Then Jesus said to them, “These are My words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that every-thing written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His name to all na-tions.”As Christians, we

proclaim the Law of God’s Word that shows us our sins and leads us to re-pent of our sin. We also proclaim the Gospel (Good News) of God’s Word that repentant sinners may receive the forgiveness and eternal life that God grants to all

penitent sinners in Christ Jesus. We point people to the cross, to Jesus, “the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.” John 1:29 As Christians we

want to reach out to everyone we can with the Good News of Jesus and His promise of forgiveness offered to all. When I and others, as believ-ing Christians, meet those who think they have not sinned, we must remember that we are not here to judge them, we are here to love and care for them as we have opportunity.Part of the love

and care we must show includes this humble and per-sonal admission, “It’s okay to admit the we’re a sinner. We are all sinners, I know that I am.” We struggle with sins we do or think and sins of not do-ing or saying what we should. We struggle with sins

we know and sins we don’t even rec-ognize much less admit. In the midst of struggle, holding nothing back from God, we invite all to join us in con-fessing, “God, be merciful to me a sinner.” In such humble-

ness of spirit and repentance, believ-ing and trusting in the Christ as our Savior, imper-fect and fumbling though our faith be, God promises us new life, forgive-ness and salva-tion in Jesus. “Be of good cheer”, He tells us, “Your sins are forgiven. Trust Me and follow Me!” And when we

come to those who already know the bitterness and reality of their sin, we need to sit with them and share the Good News of the love, forgiveness and mercy that God offers to all who repent of their sins and believe and trust in Christ Jesus as their Lord

and Savior. A love and forgive-ness that is offered and given, in Jesus, even in the midst of their spiritual skirmish-es!We do not need to

change the defini-tions of sin that God has given to us in His Word. We do not need to deny our sins or look for a better word. Jesus and the grace and mercy He offers to all is the answer. My trust is in Jesus and His Word. I invite you to do the same. When all is said and done, Jesus and His Word will remain. His love and promises are eternal! With the Lord there is for-giveness!

I can see parallels in different careers and journalism. In teaching, you do it be-cause you love it, not because of the pay. That goes for journalism, as well.After speaking with Dr. Richard Blatny,

Sr., this week about his upcoming retire-ment, I drew another comparison between journalism and the medical field.“You just don’t stop being a physician,”

Dr. Blatny, Sr., said.The comparison is that you just don’t

stop being a journalist, either. The caring nature of being a physician is partly why people go into medicine. The inquisitive nature of being a journal-

ist is why many go into the field. You just can’t turn off being a caring person, or someone that asks a lot of questions.I understand what Blatny, Sr., means

when you can’t stop being something you have chosen to do for your life. If someone needs medical attention, I

know he’ll provide. I remember being out-of-state once and there was an accident along the road. There were no media out-lets around and the tow truck was haul-ing one of the vehicles away. I happened to have my camera with me, so I snapped some photos and emailed them to the lo-cal paper.Once something you are passionate

about gets in your blood, it never leaves. I remember working for a publisher early in my career in northeast Nebraska and as he faced retirement, he was looking over that week’s issue.“The ink, it gets on your fingers…and

never really washes off,” he said.A few years later, I found out what he

meant. Like being a teacher, law enforce-ment, doctor, journalist, and many other jobs, once it gets in your blood, it is your life.It is something you simply can’t give up

and walk away from, because it becomes a part of your everyday life, and becomes a part of your DNA.

We are over thirty days in to our ninety day session. We are beginning to hear a lot of bills on the floor now. This last week we passed LB 399 which is a bill brought by Senator Slama. LB 399 changes the name of the Americanism Committee that is currently in law. The bill also clari-fies provisions of the Americanism Committee, gives duties to the State Department of Ed-ucation regarding the Americanism Committee and its curriculum, and eliminates a penalty. There were forty-two yes

votes, including myself and three no votes.On March 5 the

Transportation and Telecommuni-cations Committee will have a hear-ing on my bill, LB 611. LB 611 would require, for safety purposes, a crew of at least two people for any train or light engine used in connection with the movement of freight. The bill would provide for necessary redun-dancy on trains to prevent accidents by implement-ing two member crews. In cases of emergency or mechanical is-sues another crew member should be

required in order to prevent acci-dents on rail when one member of the crew may be im-paired or unable to detect issues which may lead to accidents.My rural broad-

band mapping bill, LB 549 is still sitting in the Transportation and Telecommu-nications com-mittee. I am not as hopeful as I would like to be in regards to that bill getting voted out of committee. From what I am hearing the com-mittee is wanting to wait until the Rural Broadband Task Force gives it report later this year. The Data

Subcom-mittee is going to recom-mend more accurate mapping which is exactly what my bill is. I fear we will lose another year while the rest of Nebraska moves forward while our smaller communities re-main stagnant on this issue.Please give my of-

fice a call with any concerns or ques-tions. (402)471-2711 or email myself or my Legislative Aide at tbrandt@leg.ne.gov or ckavan@leg.ne.gov. -Senator Tom

By Gordon HopkinsJefferson County Sheriff Nels Sorensen re-

ceive a call on Wed., Febr. 20 from StarCare, inquiring about billing for a helicopter Life Flight that occurred on May 7 of last year for Mark L. Scheetz, 61 year old, who was in the custody the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Dept. when he suffered an apparent heart attack. Since Scheetz was in the custody of the Sheriff’s Dept. at the time, Jefferson County is responsible for the cost. Despite being more than nine months since the flight, Jefferson County has not yet receive a bill.

When asked how much the bill was likely to be at the Jefferson County Commission-ers meeting of Febr. 26, Sorensen said, “It’ll be $50,000 to $60,000.”Sorensen also said, “That will put us over

our $25,000 deductible, so we should re-coup that from our insurance.”Scheetz was in custody under suspicion of

terroristic threats, assault and attempted murder. At approximately 10:15 p.m. on May 5, 2018, Deputies from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office went to 221 E. Reyn-olds St. in Endicott, Nebraska regarding a reported assault. Based on the evidence

to await a court appearance. At approxi-mately 1:15 a.m., May 7, 2018, jail staff found Scheetz unresponsive in his jail cell. The jail staff began medical intervention and summoned Advanced Life Support assis-tance. Scheetz was transported to Jefferson Community Health and Life and treated for a heart attack. He was then flown by heli-copter to Bryan West Hospital in Lincoln, Nebraska. Scheetz received continued treat-ment for the heart attack and died May 11, 2018 at approximately 2:30 p.m.

By Nathan HeuerThe Fairbury Journal-News’ Five Win-

ter Wonders were selected as the top per-formers in the FJN coverage area this past winter. Sports reporter Nathan Heuer and sports editor Trevor Gill voted separately on who they thought the top 10 athletes from the area were, ranking them from 1-10. Votes were averaged and the five lowest to-tals formed the FJN Five Winter Wonder.*The number beside each name represents

their average ranking between votes1. Mikwena Lierman, BNF Swimming –

1.550 Free, 200 Medley Relay, 200 Free

Relay, 400 Free RelayFrom becoming a conference champion, to

owning a pair of school records, to earning a state medal, Lierman set the bar high each and every time she entered the pool for a com-petition this past season for the Beatrice/Norris/Fairbury swim team.The sophomore set the BNF school-record

in the 50 free with a time of 24.82 during the Fete’s Fling Invitational and was a part of another school-record at the state meet. Lierman was the final leg (freestyle) on the 200 medley relay that put their name in the record books by clocking a 1:53.43 in the fi-nals at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. She did so with her sister Mikasa, who swam the butterfly leg of the relay.Mikwena earned a conference title in the

50 free in February.In the 50 free at state she finished in

eighth place after taking 12th her freshman year. The three-sport athlete also competed in the 200 free relay and 400 free relay at the NSAA Swimming & Diving Champion-ships. T2. Seth Firmanik, Fairbury Wrestling –

2.5 182-PoundsJust two years ago Firmanik was work-

ing his way into the sport as a freshman JV wrestler for the Fairbury High School wrestling team. Since then the 182-pounder has took leaps and bounds as a grappler under the guid-ance of head coach Derek Garfield and 2018 NSWCA Assistant Wres-tling Coach of The Year Cory Schweitzer.As a sophomore he placed fifth in Class B

at 182 pounds and he followed with a third-place finish in 2019 at the same weight class. Firmanik, who was also a Southern Nebraska Conference champion, tallied a 43-7 during the 2018-2019 campaign. The junior recorded the most tech falls (4) and major decisions (3) for the Jeffs during the season and was second on the team in pins with 25, only behind fellow third-place med-alist Ace York. Firmanik ended the season with a 43-7

record and after a 37-15 record his sopho-more year, and three varsity wins his fresh-man season, he now has 83 career varsity victories. If he matches his win output from this past season next season, Firmanik would end up with the third most wins all-time in program history. T2. Cole Siems, Tri County Boys Basket-

ball – 2.5Point GuardIf there is one word to describe Siems’ style

of play on the basketball court, electric may just be it.The 5-foot-9 sophomore lit up the score-

board this past season for the Trojans as he netted 31 points or more on three different occa-sions and 20 or more points 11 times. While he didn’t surpass his career high of 47 points he registered his freshman sea-son, he improved season averages across the board – 17.5 points per game, 5.4 as-sists per game, 2.7 rebounds per game, 2.8 steals per game.Siems’ season-highs (in different games)

were 36 points, 10 assists, eight steals, and 10 3-pointers made.His success as an individual directly

FIVE WINTER WONDERSFairbury Journal-News’

translated to Tri County having one of its best seasons in school history. Tri County made a Class C-2 district final and finished the season with a 19-6 record. That 19-win mark was top three in school history ac-cording to head coach Cory Jensen.4. Ace York, Fairbury Wrestling – 3.5170-PoundsGoing out in style is the very thing York

did at the 2019 state wrestling tournament. In the quar-terfinals at 170 pounds in Class B, the senior secured a state medal with a 6-4 overtime (SV-1) vic-tory over district champion Conner Wescoat of Cozad via a blast double leg takedown in extra time.The win was not only significant in the

sense of York earning a podium spot, but it also marked his 100th career varsity vic-tory of his Jeffs’ wrestling career. He is the 14th Fairbury wrestler to do so in school history. The two-time state qualifier finished in third-place in 2019 and ended with 102 career-wins, leaving him in 13th place all-time on the Jeffs’ wins list currently.On the mat York dominated where it mat-

ters most in the sport. He tallied the most takedowns on Fairbury’s roster (86) and pins (29). York finished the season with a 46-9 record.5. Sara Huss, Fairbury Girls Basketball –

5.5CenterPlaying basketball this past summer paid

dividends for the towering 6-foot-3 center. While her height is given, putting work in during the off-season to per-fect her craft established a foundation for success dur-ing the Lady Jeffs 2018-2019 season.Under new

head coach Lyle Thomp-son the junior was a featured piece in Fairbury’s offense. Huss averaged 12.4 points per game and 11 rebounds per game. During the Jeffs’ 22-game season she recorded 13 double doubles in the scoring and rebounding de-partment.The three-sport standout scored in double

digits in 18 games and also made her pres-ence known on defense, averaging an area best 1.9 blocks per game. Huss had season highs of 21 points, 18 rebounds, six assists, six steals, and four blocks – in separate contests.Huss will enter her season year next win-

ter with 642 career points and 754 career rebounds.Athletes who also received votes for the FJN

Five Winter Wonders were:Keegan Casey, Thayer Central Wrestling,

Brenner McLaughlin, Thayer Central Wres-tling, Sydney Havel, Thayer Central Girls Basketball, Brandon Seibolt, Tri County Wrestling, Damian Stewart, Thayer Central Wrestling, Creighton Niemeyer, Tri County Boys Basketball, Josiee Sobotka, Meridian Girls Basketball

Aaron T. Shemat, 27, was arrested by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Depart-ment at 2:52 a.m. in Fair-bury at the 1200 block of Third Street. According to Sheriff Nels Sorensen, Shemat was arrested for attempted first degree as-sault, use of a deadly weap-on to commit a felony, third degree domestic assault and resisting arrest, first offense.The Sheriff's Department receive a 911 call

about a domestic disturbance. The Sheriff said in an interview, “We were informed that

Aaron Shemat Arrested For Assault And Use Of A Deadly Weaponthe subject had a gun and had threatened to do her (the victim) harm.”When deputies made contact with the sub-

ject, he refused orders to desist and surren-der. Sheriff Sorensen said, “He slammed the door on them. They kicked the door in and took him into custody.”Shemat appeared in County Court in the

custody of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department Linda Bauer was the presid-ing judge. No charges were filed at the time, but the most serious offense the defendant is accused is the use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony, a class 1C felony, which is punishable by a minimum of five years and

a maximum of 50 years in prison.Shemat requested a bond reduction, as

he said he was unable to pay the $100,000 bond set. County Attorney Joseph Casson objected on the grounds that Shemat had a previous charge of failure to appear in court in 2015. Judge Bauer agreed to give Shemat the option of a $100,000 bond or a $50,000 surety bond. If he is able to make bond, there is a no-contact provision and that pre-vents him from contacting the victim.The defendant requested court appointed

council. Public Defender Scott Gropp was assigned to the case. Shemat is scheduled for arraignment on March 18.

A string of drawings without a jackpot win-ner have grown the estimated Powerball® jackpot to $381 million for the Wednesday drawing. Because of the high jackpot, the Nebraska Lottery reminds customers to play responsibly.The Powerball jackpot starts at $40 mil-

lion and continues to grow by at least $10 million each drawing until it is won. There have been 19 consecutive Powerball draw-ings since December 29 without a jackpot winner. This run has grown the estimated jackpot for the Wednesday, March 6 draw-ing to $381 million or $228.1 million with the cash option selected.While no jackpot-winning tickets have

been sold yet in 2019, the current jackpot run has produced other Powerball winners in Nebraska. In the last Powerball drawing on March 2, a $50,000 winning ticket was sold at Hy-Vee, 120 East Norfolk Avenue in Norfolk. A previous drawing on January 19 produced a $150,000 Powerball with Power Play winner at Cubby’s in Waverly.Ten jackpots ranging from $2.5 million to

$365 million have been won in Nebraska since the Nebraska Lottery began offer-ing Powerball in July of 1994. The largest Powerball jackpot won in Nebraska occurred in February 2006 when a group of eight coworkers at the ConAgra Foods ham and corned beef plant in Lincoln split a $365 million jackpot.Powerball jackpot winners have two op-

tions for collecting their payment: 30 annui-ty payments or one cash payment at present

Powerball Jackpot Continues To Risevalue. The annuity option provides annual payments that increase each year. The pres-ent cash value is less than the advertised jackpot, which is based on the 29-year an-nuity option. Winning Powerball numbers are announced every Wednesday and Satur-day at 9:59 p.m. Central Time and posted at the Nebraska Lottery website, nelottery.com.

It’s back for its second appearance and you’ll need to bring your quar-ters with you! You’ll need the loot to be able to win prizes at Quar-ter Mania on Saturday, March 9 at the Fairbury Elks. Booked as “Luck of the Irish Ladies’ Fun Night” (though men are welcome, too), the event starts with a vendor open house at 5:30 p.m. followed by the 7 p.m auction. Proceeds from the evening will go to support Homeless No More Cat Rescue.

What is Quarter Ma-

nia? It’s where guests “bid” quarters to win a prize of goods. When a shopper registers on auction day, she will receive a paddle with a number that is used for her individual bidding on the items she wants to win. The auctioneer begins by holding up a product and provides details about the item along with the bid amount. Bids range from 1 to 4 quarters per paddle. If a shopper wants to bid on an item, she puts the corresponding number

of quarters in the col-lection container at her table. Bidders then hold up their paddle(s)and wait for the numbers to be called. If a shopper has a winning number and has placed a bid, she wins the item. The Elks will offer a cash bar and snacks and hors d’oeurves will be avail-able during the event for a freewill donation. Door prizes will also be awarded throughout auction so there are many chances to win something.
