Wright, son of Don Wright and Kathi Wright Joshua A. Zern, son of Dort and Richard Zern Colin Wright earns state tourney invite The Plainview Pirate Golf team ended their season as a team with the District tournament at the Norfolk Country Club on May 18 as they fin- ished 12th with a team score of 417, and one teammate headed to the State Tournament. For the fifth year in a row, the Plainview golf team had the District Medalist when Colin Wright outdis- tanced the field by five strokes. On a cold and windy day, Wright led by two strokes with a 40 on the front nine. He then had the only round in the 30s for the day, as he shot a 37 on the back nine to take the golf medal. Wright will travel to the State Tour- nament on May 27-28 in Lincoln on the Holmes Golf Course. Wright is a returning medalist as he took eighth- place in 2014. Continuing at Districts, Turner Dahl, playing his last game for the Pi- rates, opened with a 51, with only his last hole keeping him from the 40s. However, Dahl was unable to record anything below double-bogie on his second round to shoot a 55, said Coach Larry Knaak. Tyler Masat opened with a 55 after a rough start as his tee shots left him scrambling. Masat was able to record a 56 on the front nine, which was con- sidered the hardest, said Knaak. Kenny Hart finished the team scor- ing with 56-67. Hart, also playing the back nine first was playing decent golf when the 18th hole took its toll on him. This seemed to carry over to the front nine, said Knaak, as he was only able to score well on three holes. Klay Cash, playing in his second varsity match had his scores of 67-64 not used. “Klay lacked the experience to navigate the long holes and big greens, but gave a valiant effort,” said Knaak. The team will have Masat, Hart, Cash and Brandon Pellatz as returning members next year. “These boys will have to play some golf this summer so they can score more consistently as they will miss the low scores of Wright,” said Knaak. Wright sinks double eagle on Hole 5 Submitted Article On May 13, Colin Wright score a “two” on a Par five at the Plain- view Country Club. We have reported five holes-in- one in the first six weeks of the sea- son and, in fact, Colin had one of those. Two days after his one per- fect shot, which was in range of the 13,000 to one, he takes two shots to go 465 yards, which elevated the odds to as high as 6,000,000 (that is six million) to one. Wouldn’t make any different if it was one million, the number is al- most unfathomable. Mr. Wright hit his driver more than 300 yards, and followed it with a 52 degree wedge shot of a little more than 140 yards. The term “Albatross” is in the golf vernacular for “double eagle” as it is most rare. Gene Sarazen made one in the ’35 Masters which he referred to as “the Dodo.” Turns out Dodos are really extinct, so that’s not good – so Albatross, a very rare thing, is the present term. Not every player qualifies to be able to shoot a double eagle, or al- batross, as the authorities think that maybe 10 percent of the players can reach a par five in two shots. Now, some oddities enter into that ability to hit the golf ball a good distance. Hand-eye coordina- tion, and the timing of muscles to attain a high club head speed at the point of contact of clubface and ball, and some strength….but strength is not the most important by far. Mr. Wright doesn’t quite have the physique of a Sumo Wrestler, but he smacks the ball 280 yards- plus with regularity. An attempt to put Wright’s feat in perspective, there are about 40,000 Aces reported every year, but only a couple of hundred Dou- ble Eagles. There has been one in the 110-year history of the U.S. Open. Wright has also had an impres- sive year of High School golf, being the medalist in a number of meets this spring. On Monday, he qualified for the State Tournament by winning medalists honors at the District qualifier, shooting a 77 at the Norfolk Country Club on a very windy, chilly day. And, on May 13, he left a per- manent footprint at the Plainview Country Club. Kailee Rafert, Nicole White and Brittany Waldow are all headed to the State Track tournament this week to represent the Pi- rate track team in Omaha. Three Lady Pirates vying for State track medals Three Lady Pirates qualified for the Nebraska State Track invitational in Omaha on Friday and Saturday, May 22-23 as a result of their efforts at the District Track meet on May 14.

The Board provided tabulations were read aloud, but no public copies were available after the meeting. The News copies are avail- able for review by anyone visiting the office. Individual comments ranged from one sentence to pages of response di- rected at individual questions, some in direct opposition to a five school, multi-school or merger at all, ques- tioning the survey questions them- selves or calling for resignation of some employees, to praising the Board and staff for pursuing the dis- cussion, or in support of the five- school merger.

“What is LB840 and why we should care”By: Michael HoltonCity Administrator

LB840 is literally LegislativeBill 840 which was passed by theNebraska Unicameral in 1991.Even though the law has beenaround nearly 25 years, it really hasnot caught on as quickly as theyhad hoped.

There were several restrictionsinitially and that hampered commu-nities in using it like they wanted.Several revisions later and nowPlainview has LB840 in place and

the sales tax rev-enue that hasbeen collected sofar amounts toover $90,000.

So now, whatare we going todo with the fund-ing?

That is a goodquestion that isanswered first by

what we can do with the funding.The LB840 plan is on our websitewith the city and describes possi-bilities. The public has the abilityto have input every six months onwhat they would like to see themoney used for and there is a board

that oversees its use. Ultimately,the city council has final say in anyproject or assistance that is directedtowards economic development inPlainview. If you are a small busi-ness that is looking for some kindof help or in need of financial as-sistance, don’t hesitate to call me atthe office and we can talk about theapplication process and differentways to help.

This week I posted on the City ofPlainview’s Facebook page a videothat was created by a young mannamed Derek Hoffart. It is a droneflyover and close up video of Plain-view and there were some amazingthings to see.

First of all, kudos to Derek forfilming this at sunset as the areanever looked so beautiful. Second,the city looked neat and clean andcontrary to what some people in ourown community might think, won-derful. The video made it clear tome that from the top down, Plain-view is a wonderful little town witha tremendous amount of assets thatwe need to protect.

We have a community that peo-ple all over the world can envy.There are other little towns thatshow many of the same character-istics but Plainview is ours.

The only political statement thatI will make as a city administratoris that we have several assets thatmake up our community and weneed to protect and keep them vi-able. That is what LB840 is for andwe need to help in any way we can.The highest priority at this time isto use some funding to develop ahousing sub-division. Incentivesare being created to entice people tobuild in Plainview. We need tomake sure that we have a reason forpeople to want to move to Plain-view.

Anyone in economic develop-ment can tell you that the main rea-sons that anyone would want tomove to a smaller town like Plain-view are amenities that attract themin the first place. Having a cleantown, good schools, recreationalactivities, hospital, clinics, swim-ming pools, churches, grocerystores, etc. make up most new-comer’s lists. Plainview representsall of these.

Last but not least, we need tokeep our community clean and oneof the issues that I have noticedlately is a lot of people blowinggrass on the streets.

That is against the city code andpunishable with a fine. The grass

can clog up the storm sewers andcreate issues for our street sweeperwhen we clean the streets.

Please be careful to blow thegrass back into the lawn or at thevery minimum, use a blower toblow the grass that is on the streetsback onto the property.

This is not as big of an issue forresidents that live on gravel streetsbut is a bigger issue for those wholive on paved streets with stormsewer drainages.

A Magical PlaceThere are lots of people that say nothing ever changes in small towns,

and that a “life” can’t be afforded here like in the big city.I’ve always had an affinity for taking quotes from supposedly smart

people and using them inefficiently.Regardless, the concepts of appreciating what you’ve got are difficult

to consider if you’ve never really seen what it is you have and how thatrelates. You can’t covet the grass on the other side, until you’ve seen it,tasted it, smelled it and felt it under your feet.

Once you do – you almost always realize that its practically the samegrass, or, for instance, be full of fire ants like down south, or sandburs likeout west or lacking water like out west.

The best way to enjoy life in a small town is as an entrepreneur. Yourbusinesses is yours and you can be as successful as you want to be, pro-vided it’s a business people need and/or want.

The most stable way to enjoy life in a small town is to work for some-one else – and in most cases in little communities that means workingfor the government.

I would wager that with Plainview’s current setup at least 30 percentof our jobs are government related – City, school, state shed, county, ESUand everything in between.

That makes for some odd situations sometimes. Two-thirds supportingone-third to support two-thirds, it almost can’t make sense.

I don’t mean anything by it – I just find it an interesting observation.I don’t know exactly what people expect when they move to a small com-munity. The Internet provides the access to the luxuries of the world, butit can’t change your location.

All the luxuries of the City are not obtainable here, but that’s why welike it. Unfortunately it’s a thing that can only be realized when it is ex-perienced and also depending on one’s demeanor.

Interesting, nonetheless.

Dear Friends of Plainview AreaHealth System Foundation,

Two years have quickly passed andwe want to once again express ourgratitude for the support and generos-ity toward the Plainview Area HealthSystem Foundation (PAHSF) shownby you.

Since the purchase of the facility byAlegent Health, many changes haveoccurred, but the one thing that has re-mained the same is the strength, ded-ication, and contributions put forwardby PAHSF. After Alegent Health pur-chased the Plainview Hospital, theyalso acquired Creighton UniversityHospital and changed the systemname to Alegent-Creighton Health.Alegent Health was always a part ofCatholic Health Initiatives (CHI). In2013, CHI became the sole sponsorand owner of Alegent CreightonHealth. As a result, our system wascombined with other CHI facilities inNebraska and renamed CHI Health.

As with all large systems, we havelocal needs which are not covered bythe system’s capital budget. As timeschange new goals or pieces of equip-ment may be needed to assist our fa-cility in improving the care for ourpatients. That is where funds throughthe PAHSF have been put to great use.

Looking back donations to PAHSFhave been used to purchase manyequipment items including a cardiacstress testing system, a nurse call sys-tem, flat screen televisions, and anEKG machine. An Anesthesia Ma-chine was purchased in order to beable to perform more surgeries withinthe facility. Most recently, contribu-tions to the Foundation have beenused to purchase new furniture for thepatient rooms and to partially fund thepurchase of a Mobile C-Arm Xraymachine. Without these continuedcontributions it would not become areality to purchase this equipment ormake these updates all of which better

the care for our patients.Looking into our future over the

next two years we would like to ac-complish two major updates that willdirectly affect our patients here at CHIHealth Plainview. The first is to in-stall automatic/handicap accessibledoors at the west entrance of the hos-pital. These are the doors which pa-tients who are receiving PhysicalTherapy enter through.

Currently the doors have to beopened by hand and the concrete walkneeds to be raised to meet the floorlevel to accommodate a person in awheel-chair.

A generous gift of $5,000.00 hasbeen received that was designated bythe donor for this specific project.However, bids for this project indicatethe estimated cost to be $15,000.00.Making these doors handicap accessi-ble will make it not only easier butsafer for our patients on a daily basis.

The second project is to put in a cir-cle drive that will come to the frontentrance of the clinic on the east sideof the facility. This drive will be alarge project and we hope to breakground in the spring of 2016.

With the construction of this drive-way patients will be able to bebrought to the front door of the clinicwith very little walk needed beforeentering the building. The estimatedcost of this project is $20,000. Thehospital employees have donated$11,000 which they designated to beused for this project.

As you can see we have a coupleof busy years ahead of us. With yourcontinued generous donations andsupport these projects can be put intoaction to continue to help better ourlocal facility.

Sincerely, Nathan Stec

GAFCertifiedBoard members of the Plainview Li-

brary Foundation have decided to re-lease the list of donors from its creationin 2001 to the present capital campaign,starting with $100 donors.

Some question had been raised aboutrecognition given to those that had sup-ported the Foundation since its inceptionand the new Library project was created.

The Foundation had, as it always has,published listings of donors twice a year,of donors “as of” a certain date – and allthese donors were at one time listedthere, but as a one-time special recogni-tion, they will be published again here.

There may be repeats from the cur-rent list (which will continue its once-a-month publication in a few weeks), butthese are donations from 2001 to Janu-ary of 2015 of $100 or more.

As in the previous publications, thename following the “In Memory” list-ings are the givers.

COMMUNITYCALENDAR

Minutes released fromlast committee meetingMay 12, 2015

The 5-school study committee meton May 12, 2015 in the PlainviewHigh School Media Center. The meet-ing was open for the public to attend.Four members of the public were in at-tendance.

Superintendent Alt welcomed thecommittee members and members ofthe public. He suggested that membersof the public contact their respectiveboard members and/or administratorsto answer any questions they may haveabout the ensuing discussions.

Sub-committee reports were given.The curriculum/instruction committeereported that a question about curricu-lum and the committee’s response wasposted on the 5-school website. At-tempts to publish the question/re-sponse in area newspapers did notwork out because of wording limits,etc. in some of the newspapers.

Mr. Alt reported that the architecturecommittee recently met with FEH As-sociates of Sioux City and that a meet-ing was scheduled with the ClarkEnersen Partners of Lincoln. Mr. Altalso indicated he had met individuallywith Ayars & Ayars (design/build con-cept) of Lincoln and Neumann-Mon-son-Wictor Architects of Sioux City.The architecture committee will meetfollowing the Clark-Enersen meetingand discuss how the committee willproceed with the process of selecting

an architectural firm. A lengthy discussion was held dur-

ing the Economic/Labor committee re-port. Mr. Jensen indicated thecommittee hoped to schedule a meet-ing with local businesses in May. Dar-ren Vanness posed the possibility offorming a committee to gather infor-mation and prepare responses pertain-ing to “alternatives” to merging, suchas distance learning, sharing staff, etc.The concern is that the general publicdoes not understand the positives andnegatives of alternative options beingsuggested. Although a later agendaitem allowed for discussion of staffingissues, this item was brought into thediscussion on alternatives. Schools areexperiencing difficulty in hiring fullyendorsed teachers to fill some posi-tions. Creating a common bell sched-ule and common calendar among thefive districts was offered as a sugges-tion. Sending out a “mailer” or factsheet was discussed and the superin-tendents and a representative fromeach board will meet to work on thisfollowing the end of the school year.

Bloomfield reported that they didnot have very many people attend theircommunity meeting. They expressedthat they had some good questions andcomments with concerns being trans-portation, college prep classes, and theeffect on community businesses.Creighton has held a couple of com-munity meetings, one being held at theVFW. They have focused on decliningenrollments.

Plainview reported they had sent outtheir survey and the board would bemeeting soon to look at the data andthe comments received. Wausa indi-

cated they have not moved forward atthis time with a survey.

Discussion was held pertaining tothe trip to Southern Valley, Centura andCross County. Darren Vanness hadwritten a report on his observationsduring the trip and also commented ontelephone calls he made to businessesin some of the communities visited.Jeff Jensen will post a copy of Darren’sreport on the 5-school website. TomSauser of Plainview will be asked topost a copy of the trip DVD’s on you-tube and link it to the 5-school website.

Mr. Jensen handed out a copy of thepros and cons of consolidation.

A short discussion was held onstaffing issues, but this topic was cov-ered more fully during an earlieragenda item.

It was discussed that each board ap-point a member to serve on a trans-portation committee.

Osmond will host the next 5-SchoolStudy Committee meeting on July 8,2015 at 7:00 p.m.

The Plrate and Lady Pirate junior high track teams took first place at the Plainview Invitational to cap off a successful yearof track and field.

Junior high Pirates winPlainview invitational

The big talk at the Course is ColinWright scoring a double eagle, butmore on that in a separate article.

There were also two more holes-in-one, but instead of being a rarity, therehave been five already this year,which kind of makes it “ho-hum,” ex-cept, of course, to the guys who gotthem.

We had a nice turnout for the firstSeniors Two-Man of the year on the12th with the locals taking care ofwinning the flights, but the visitorsdid okay in the Place and Show spots.

Three way tie in the Third Flightwith Shafer and Janevek, Haines andMcGee and Bonta-Meuret all shoot-ing 75s. Second Flight had Dalton-Wakely, Schumaker-Winkleman andNaprstek-Peterson taking third, sec-ond and first with 74, 73 and 72, re-spectively.

The Top Flight had Tadken andDillon tying with Anderson and Jonesfor second and third with 69s, leavingthe big prize money going to Merazand Knaak for the umpteenth time byshooting the low score of 67.

Last week the Stag Committee fedribeye sandwiches to 18 hearty souls.This week, the 21st, the younger Pe-terson is filling in for Potter and planson having grilled chicken and cheesypotatoes. Not to be pessimistic, butdoing chicken on the grill takes a lit-

tle expertise, so one may hope there islots of taters.

Next hamburger feed is the lastSunday of May, and then June is herewith all kinds of events lined up.

Ladies on Monday nights, YouthLessons every Tuesday except on the10th (a Wednesday), the Two-ManScramble, and sign up now on the 7th,Texas Golf every other Wednesday,the Couples Tournament on the 13thand, of course, the Open.

Please let Kathi know when youcan work and what you would like todo. It’s going to warm up real quick,honest….come out and enjoy.

Youth winRed Crossscholarships

The Red Cross Blood Drive HighSchool Scholarship Program rewardsschools and students for the outstand-ing contributions they make to thelocal blood supply.

The amount of scholarship moneyreceived is based upon the number ofdonors at the blood drives in whichthe students help to run and work at.This year, Plainview High Schoolreached Platinum Status through highdonations.

Receiving honor cords this yearwere Heidi Nelson, Natalie Lingen-felter, Ashley Shaffer, Morgan Hamp-ton, McKenzie Brozek, StephanieSorenson, and Ryan Pellatz.

This status ranking allows for thedistribution of $2,000 of scholarshipmoney. Scholarship awards are issueddirectly to colleges or educational in-stitutions on behalf of the winningstudent during the student’s secondsemester. Students must be an activeparticipant in several Red Cross blooddrives throughout their high schoolcareer and should exhibit a leadershiprole in the coordination and recruit-ment of blood drives. The awardsprocess takes into account most unitsrecruited and most hours committedtowards supporting the blood pro-gram.

Financial need is also taken intoconsideration when making the finalstudent selection. This year four re-cipients were selected for the 2015Red Cross Blood Drive Scholarship.Each student will receive a $500scholarship to the college of theirchoice. Recipients were StephanieSorenson, McKenzie Brozek, HeidiNelson, and Natalie Lingenfelter

The Red Cross recognizes highschool seniors for their work in or-ganizing blood drives, requitingdonors, and donating blood person-ally. To qualify for the Red CrossHonor Cord, students must have ei-ther donated blood or recruited at leastfive people to donate blood, and par-ticipated as volunteers in a school orcommunity blood drive at least threetimes during the course of their sen-ior year.

The Red Cord Honors Programrepresents more than just a student’sdonation to give life; it also symbol-izes their giving nature, and the po-tential they have to change the worldfor the better.

LINCOLN—State senators over-turned the Governor’s veto on a billthat will increase gas taxes for Ne-braskans Thursday.

LB 610, introduced by Sen. JimSmith of Papillion, is intended to cre-ate a fund to mend Nebraska’s infra-structure, specifically roads andbridges.

“The funding needs are massiveand our communities are desperate forour help and we need to offer that helpnow,” Smith said.

The bill will raise total gas taxes31.6 cents per gallon over a period offour years, creating an additional fundof $25 million annually for the state

and $51 million for cities and coun-ties.

“When I travel the state, Ne-braskans tell me that they need tax re-lief, not tax increases,” Gov. PeteRicketts said in a statement. “Ourstate already has the 13th highestproperty taxes, the 15th highest in-come taxes, and this tax hike makesour gas tax rate the 16th highest in thenation.”

The bill passed with 30 votes infavor (30-16), the exact numberneeded to overturn the Governor’sveto.

“It’s never a good tax policy toraise taxes,” said Sen. Beau McCoy ofOmaha who opposed the override.
