Krause family gives donation, challenge A Plainview family has claimed the first, hopefully of many, spots in the Diamond level of giving for the Plainview Library Foundation s recently started capital campaign to finish raising funding for the town s new library. Jim and Jan Krause of Plainview have contributed funding to place them in the Diamond category of giving, $50,000-$99,000, with the hopes of spurring support from other members of the community to make the dream of the new library a reality in the next few months. The Foundation currently has through its own funds, a Community Development Block grant, a popular-vote, recently approved $500,000 bond and funds from the City s one-third sales tax received around $880,000, with the Krause s donation, as well as numerous others listed below, putting the group well over the $900,000 mark. Currently the estimated cost of the new facility has been quoted at $1.25 million, leaving around $225,000 left to collect before the bond and grant can be collected and construction can begin. The 7,000 square foot building could be under construction as soon as June of 2015 if the funding is raised in time. Please give our future generations the reading and educational opportunities that come with a new facility, as well as providing our community a gathering place for leisure reading, technology use and conversation a new building that is accessible to all, wrote the Krause family with their donation. As an added benefit to donors, the Plainview Library Foundation has received approval for special tax credit funding to allow donors up to 40 percent of their donation in a tax credit from the Nebraska Department of Economic Development. Details are included in a story near this one. Each month, The Plainview News will be dedicating a special portion of the paper to listing the current amount raised and donors for the capital campaign until the project receives its funding. Wednesday March 18, 2015 Library wins tax credit award from State Development group The Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) has awarded $50,000 in Community Development Assistance Act (CDAA) tax credits to support a multipurpose pool project in Chadron, and construction of a new library in Plainview. Plainview will use $25,000 in tax credits to replace its existing library, built in 1916, with a new American with Disabilities Act compliant 7,000 sq. ft. facility that includes an expanded children s section, a designated computer area, and a community room for meetings, conferences and training. Recent planning efforts identified the need for a new library and residents played an active role in its design. Last November the City passed a $500,000 bond to help pay for the new facility, estimated at $1,194,144. Construction is slated to begin May 2015 and completed September Local businesses have verbally committed to financially support the project once construction commences. For more information, contact Paula Hoffman at or prhoffmans@hotmail.com Chadron will use $25,000 in tax credits to renovate and repurpose its municipal pool as a year-round multifunctional health and wellness center. The City, Chadron State College, and Chadron Community Hospital are partners in the project. Not only will the pool be fully enclosed, but upgrades will provide for zero-depth entry, lap lanes for swim teams, water aerobics classes, instructional lessons, and other organized events. A separate therapy pool, restroom and shower area will provide added privacy and built-in safety features apart from the main pool. An indoor track has been proposed for installation along the facility s external wall. Other additions will include a multipurpose meeting room with kitchenette, and parking lot enhancements. The aquatic health and wellness center will be open to the general public and stakeholders including Junior high groups score at WSC... Pine Ridge Job Corp, Chadron Public Schools and After School Program, Chadron Sharks Swim Team, and the local Special Olympics chapter. For more information, contact Steve Cleveland at , or scleveland@fnb4me.com The CDAA program awards tax credits to donors, thereby encouraging private investors to financially support their local nonprofit community betterment organizations efforts to undertake more community service and development projects. The credits represent 40 percent of each contribution, and reduce a contributor s state income tax burdens. Every dollar contributed to a project results in a $0.40 tax credit return. Donations may be in the form of cash, services, or materials. The minimum eligible contribution for a tax credit is $50. For information about the CDAA program, contact Jenny B. Mason, CDAA Coordinator, at , or jenny.mason@nebraska.gov On Tuesday, March 10, the Junior High Music groups traveled to Wayne State College to compete in the Middle School Music Festival. The choir began the competition for Plainview and sang Inscription of Hope and Ja-Da. The choir was accompanied by Jan Krause. Shortly after the choir sang, the band took the stage. They performed Beyond the Stars and Kitty Hawk March. Both of these groups were judged by a panel and had the opportunity to work with the judges to improve their skills. Both of the groups received a One - the top rating. All are invited to watch these excited musicians perform their contest music on March 24th in the Tartan gym at 7:00 p.m. Following the concert, the Junior High Band will partake in their celebration of their rating by throwing 25 pies in Mrs. Hahn s face. FA holds Parade for Life... he Plainview FFA group at Plainview High School held their annual Tractor Parade for Life last week on Thursday afternoon. he FFA youth raised sponsorships and recruited drivers and businesses to assist with the event, raising funds for the Relay or Life organization.

2 2 The Plainview News Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press... The First Amendment Babbling Brook Works This past week at church we were discussing the difference between salvation and works. I know that s a bit deeper than I regularly get in this space, especially on a personal note. Some of you may laugh, but typically I pick on policies and decisions here, not people specifically, so when I start talking about works some of you may get nervous (as would I.) Lately, I confess I ve been a bit critical it s bad habit of mine. Continuing the church line, I ve been called a fundamentalist, a legalist or even worse (or better, depending on your definition) a Calvinist at times. I d be happy to explain, one of the things I ve always been interested in with rural communities is their ties to their religion regardless of which way that swings. I ve come to the point in my life where I ve decided that unless I can witness things with my own eyes, or hear it with my own ears, I have a difficult time believing it. I m a bit of a self-learner and discoverer. I guess the point comes down to, I usually judge things by the way they work not what they say or what they promise or what I ve been told. I like to see how things work. If my kids tell me they ve made their bed, it s a simple thing to go to their room and check for myself if they ve done it or not. If a high schooler promises they ve done their assignments for the week, it s a simple thing to check. If a college student says they haven t spent most of their time drinking, but studying, the proof will come out at semester with their grades. If a church says they preach the gospel as found in the Bible, the work will show in its members, the way they treat others and carry themselves. If someone says they appreciate and care for the community and have its best interests in mind from the very young residents to the very old you ll be able to see it in their works. The best part about this system is, the opposite is often true as well. If someone says they care about something, and it dies, there is only question to be raised about their sincerity. It s a pretty simple concept, and it s better than just taking someone s word for it, because it s immediately accountable. It doesn t matter how many stories you get to line up, or how many witnesses you have on your side if you have a video recording showing someone stealing from the bank. Discerning facts is a work that I ve become accustom to in the last number of years. That may sound a bit counter-intuitive as facts are supposed to be facts regardless of who says them. Unfortunately, as mankind has proven time and time again, history is written by the winners and especially when there is little to no opposition, the powerful often have ability to attempt to wrest decisions from the hands of truth. I ve always had a bit of a problem with authority especially that which, in reality, is on a different page of the same book. What I mean is sometimes authority can be fabricated by title, money or following, and yet those people, in the end, are still people, regardless of the authority they believe they have. Authority is a dangerous thing, we all fall prey to it absolute power corrupts absolutely and another thousand anecdotal quotes that only mean something if you ve experienced the situation where they re true. Looking at hard evidence (video, recordings, or attendance) and making decisions based off of results seems to be the best, and perhaps, the only reasonably sane way of doing things, especially in this time we live in of instant transmission of information, the ability to vet things immediately, the time when large decisions need to be made and accountability is in short supply. Vague when I wanted to be more specific, typical.

Callahan Promotions, Inc., Opinion By: Michael Holton City Administrator People Change, Seasons Change People change over the years. Sometimes we see good changes and at other times we do not. Our surroundings affect the way we see things or the way we act around others. The weather often plays a role in the way we behave. I know that I have anxiously been waiting for the good weather. The job you work at can also affect your attitudes and decisions if you let it. Working for the city has been an eye opener to say the least. Farmers are anxious to get into the fields while others are ready for activity to begin with the spring. Everything seems a little cheerier with Easter right around the corner. Last week I was able to spend time looking at the ball fields getting ready for softball and baseball while looking at clean up in the parks. Building new buildings, houses and other improvements give signs of life to a community. Beautification comes alive and flower beds which now lay dormant or have dead plants in them will be revitalized. Trees are planted while others are cut down to make room. Paint is put on objects to bring out the color and vibrancy of the warmer weather. Children anxiously wait for fresh air, except for those who hibernate with their video games. The swimming pool will be seen getting ready while the schools are anxiously awaiting their summer break. Frisbee golf, as well as real golf, come alive and the picnic baskets will soon cover the parks. However, there are others who hate the spring for various reasons. Allergy season may run them down. Others see the end of basketball season as the end of their happiness as well. May graduations signal an end of one era and the birth of another. Plainview is a steady influence for many who want to hold on to something that gives them comfort. Plainview is home. It is easy for people who live in Plainview to find something to complain about but it is their complaint and not someone else s from out of town. I get that. Property tax relief bill fails to advance From the Legislature By: Senator Kate Sullivan The headlines in the March 12 daily papers were very dramatic and somewhat misleading when it comes to the future of property tax relief. LB 350 failed to advance from the Revenue Committee this week with just two committee members voting to advance the bill. STATE TALK Kate Sullivan Although the intent of LB 350 is to lower the property taxes paid by agricultural land owners, the biggest benefits would not go to farmers and ranchers in rural Nebraska. The benefits from LB 350 would primarily accrue to farmers and ranchers near urban areas. The property tax revenue lost from farmers and ranchers near urban areas will be recovered by higher property taxes on business and residential property owners in those areas. It s a tax shift. Out here where we live, this tax shift can t happen to the same extent because we don t have as many business and residential property owners. Political subdivisions with large amounts of agricultural land in their taxing district would have to make up the lost revenue by increasing their levies or through cuts to local services funded by property tax revenue. This includes schools, cities, counties, NRD s, community colleges, ESU s, rural fire districts and countyowned medical facilities. Estimates of the shortfall are in the $138.5 million range statewide. The loss to schools alone is estimated to be $94 million. LB 350 would transfer approximately $25 million to the state aid fund to be distributed as equalization aid in the state aid formula per year beginning in FY17-18, more than two years down the road. Unfortunately, 158 out of the 245 school districts in the state don t receive equalization aid through the state aid formula. Most are small, rural school districts with large amounts of agricultural land in their taxing districts. 158 school districts will receive no benefit from LB 350, leaving them no choice but to raise their levy and negating any possible property tax relief for the agricultural land owners in those school districts. Although the Revenue Committee declined to advance LB 350, we continue to work on other proposals for actual, substantive and sustainable property tax relief. It s my personal belief that we can provide that solution by increasing state funds to public schools to directly reduce the percent of school funding derived from property taxes. With more than half the legislative session remaining, there s plenty of time to develop proposals that will actually work.

The same reason we have Plainview pride is the same reason why people from Osmond, Pierce, Creighton, etc. have pride in the community that they live. All communities have shortcomings that are there because of what they prioritize for their community. We may not have the biggest and best of something but we have amenities that other communities do not. In that regards, Plainview is unique. In several ways Plainview is like many small rural communities that is home to many diverse opinions and attitudes. It is comprised of neighbors, family and friends. I was once told by a good friend who works in the state office that the best thing about small towns is the friendships that you can make and the ability to rely on neighbors to be there when you need them. He also told me that it was the worst things about small towns as well. Everyone knows everyone else s business and gossip can run rampant. Several years ago I wrote an article that someone became incensed with and I told that person the article was not referring to them at all but if the shoe fits, then I guess you will have to wear it. Plainview can be Plainview s best friend but can also be our worst enemy. If this community wants something done, it gets it done. That is probably one of the most remarkable qualities that I admire about our town. Being a city administrator, my job is to bring as many resources as I can to assist in many of these projects. With LB840 dollars in the picture, I think we can make great headway. As I have said before many times, the future of Plainview looks bright. We may have to reinvent ourselves a few times to find out who we really are but for a reality check, Plainview is a great place to live and raise a family.

Federal overreach By: Deb Fischer US Senator The federal government has an important role to play in protecting its citizens. The laws passed and the regulations imposed are supposed to prevent harm when bad actors take advantage of our open society. But these regulations should be both justified and rare. Unfortunately, this has been the exception, not the rule. Under this administration, we are witnessing an onslaught of federal regulations that are impacting Nebraska s industries and our way of life from our state s water resources to the livestock industry it seems to be open season for the federal government. That s why this week, I d like to discuss a few of these burdensome rules and my efforts to replace them with balanced policies that will foster growth. Last spring, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Army Corps of Engineers proposed changing the definition of waters of the United States (WOTUS) for all Clean Water Act programs. By making this definition broader, Washington s regulatory reach would extend indefinitely, claiming jurisdiction over almost all water, from farm ditches to residential ponds. I believe WOTUS is a direct attack on the people of Nebraska, and our citizens should have the opportunity to voice their concerns about this damaging rule. I decided that the best way to involve our citizens in the debate was to bring the U.S. Senate home to Nebraska. Over the weekend, I chaired a field hearing of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee in Lincoln. We heard from a diverse group of stakeholders, including representatives from the agriculture community, homebuilders, natural resource districts, and state and local governments. They shared valuable feedback, which will now be on record for the Obama administration to review as it continues its rule-making process. But the attack on our water resources was only the beginning. Just last month, a federal committee responsible for helping develop national nutrition policy released a new report that could affect our state s farmers and ranchers. As part of their guidelines, the committee insisted that Americans should eat less red meat and consume more fruits and vegetables. This may seem mundane, but the report is the foundation for our national food policy, including guidelines for school lunch programs nationwide. Given the far reaching economic impact of this proposed change, I was alarmed to see that the committee s recommendations were based on environmental concerns, not on science. That s why last week I sent a letter to HHS and USDA with 29 of my colleagues objecting to the report. The committee s recommendations are misguided and, if enacted, could have a devastating impact on Nebraska s number one industry agriculture. Any changes to our nation s food policies must be based on sound science and outside experts. Our agricultural producers, and the millions of Americans they feed, could be harmed for generations by inaccurate and unfounded reports like this. This leads me to yet another example of the federal government s overreach. Recently, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) put forth a new proposal that would place unnecessary limits on rifle ammunition used by hunters and sports enthusiasts. Gun owners in Nebraska and across the nation have a fundamental right to bear arms that is protected by the Second Amendment. Furthermore, the right to use this class of rifle ammunition is protected by the Law Enforcement Officers Protection Act of Upon receiving the letter I sent with my colleagues last week condemning this overreach, the ATF announced that it is scrapping the ban. I m relieved that the bureau reversed its course and did the right thing for American hunters and sportsmen. As your Senator, I will continue to press this administration to adhere to the principles of good regulation independence, openness, efficiency, and responsibility. I will also work to ensure that the Nebraska perspective is heard and helps guide the debate in Washington. Thank you for participating in the democratic process. I look forward to visiting with you again next week. Going Somewhere?

7 Local The Plainview News 7 Ag land tax break stalls by Fred Knapp, Reporter/Producer, NET News Reducing the taxable value of ag land from 75 to 65 percent of market value was a staple of last year s campaign by Gov. Pete Ricketts, and is supported by the state s largest farm organization, the Farm Bureau. But when the Revenue Committee voted on the proposal Wednesday, only two of eight members voted for it. Instead, the committee endorsed a proposal to lower personal property taxes that could include everything from farmers tractors to business computers. In an interview Thursday, Grand Island Sen. Mike Gloor said his bill has certain advantages. This really is related to both property tax, since it s (a) personal property tax credit, and it s geared more toward small businesses and the production of ag land not the owners of ag land, but in this case, people who farm that land, he said. In other words, the break would go to someone who owns a tractor or combine, not someone who owns a section of land. It would also go to businesses that own personal property, like machinery. The bill exempts the first $15,000 worth of personal property used to produce business income from taxation. At the statewide average tax rate, that s about a $300 saving. Critics of the ag land tax break argue that in mostly rural counties, the measure would do very little to relieve property taxes. That s because there aren t many homes or businesses, so lowering the value of ag land could simply result in local P A N C A K E F E E D governments raising the property tax levy rate to bring in the same amount of money. Scheer acknowledged the ag land proposal is not a cure-all for high property taxes on farmers. It certainly shouldn t be perceived as a silver bullet, but it s at least something that we can do this year. Quite frankly, it was one of the only things that was introduced to try to do anything with ag property values. It doesn t work for everybody. It will work for some. My point would be, for those people it helped, that s great, and those that we didn t, we ll have to look at again next year. But at least we ve done something, he said. But Gloor argued that the perception of doing something could work against real property tax relief for the ag sector. The way this is being sold, if I m an urban senator, I m going to say if this passes Okay, we did our thing. And don t come back to us and complain if you haven t gotten what you thought was you wanted. And the whole discussion about more substantive change in how we pay for education in this state which is really where the problem lies goes to the back seat, as opposed to the front seat, where it needs to be, he said. Both the ag land bill and the personal property tax proposal would cost the state about $25 million, either in additional school aid or in paying counties for lost revenue. And both have been named priority bills, meaning the contest between the two approaches may not be over.

ItÕs time to start investigating the possibilities and get them signed up. Look into day or sleep-away camps at colleges near you. Look for math, computer and science camps run by older students. Drama majors especially love to introduce theater to kids. The fees for these day camps are typically fairly low. For older kids, combining sleepaway camp with their interests could lead to new career possibilities. Spending a week on a farm could lead an animal lover in the direction of veterinary medicine. A water or oceanrelated camp could lead to a career in marine ecology. A week at video camp could open opportunities in television, digital media, advertising and more. When it comes to special interests, no matter what they are, thereõs a camp for it. If your child wants to get a head start with SAT tests, there are prep camps for that. Photography, rock music songwriting, entrepreneurship, wilderness adventure they all have camps. Check and explore the information in the drop-down menus. Search through the offerings at It has comprehensive listings of sleep-away camps, day camps, co-ed, boys, girls and traditional camps. Use the dropdown menus to search for camp types, activities and locations. For kids who want a new experience, search for camps that emphasize Nashville music, rodeo riding, PGA golf or hockey. Look for teen travel camps that provide tours and camps all over the globe. Language majors can take advantage of language immersion camps and tours, and more. There s even a roller-coaster camp! It involves visiting amusement parks across the country in one, two, three, four and six-week camps. For younger children that you want to keep nearby, check the resources around you for traditional camps at recreation departments, the YMCA and churches. TheyÕre sure to provide plenty of summer activities: swimming, boating, archery, sports, arts and crafts, and singing around the campfire. When it comes to choosing a camp, the American Camp Association has must-read information at Look for How to Choose a Camp: Safety Tips.

Five members were present. In the absence of the President, Vice President Judy Wilson conducted the meeting. Jane Jensen noted the very generous contributions from several members. The Secretary will send personal thank you notes to those who contributed $100 or more. The Society will also place a thank you in the Plainview News for the additional monies. It was suggested to add a request of addresses to the newsletter in progress, and also in the sign in book in the Depot. The secretary reported on a recent Chamber meeting she attended. The welcome packet was discussed. The Society will see about adding either a postcard or a rack card to the packet. The Secretary also reported that the information for the events poster/flyer would probably have to be into the News office before the next Historical Society meeting. Much discussion ensued, with the outcome of a rough draft notice being suggested. It will contain the hours of the Open House, notices of the machinery display, the Hawthorne exhibit, the Woody look-alike contest judging, and the 2:30 p.m. entertainment at the Depot on Saturday afternoon. The Woody look-alike contest will be judged at the band shell park on Saturday night, with the winner riding in the parade on Sunday. An appropriate pickup truck will need to be found, along with a way to judge the contest. The debut of the Nebraska movie exhibit will need coffee and cookies to be provided by the membership. Also, The Society will put bricks up for sale. Some will be decorated, some plain and possibly a fun list of what to do with a brick to be given with the brick purchases. Open hours at the Museum were discussed. No real decision was made at this time. Because of the window work, which will hopefully be done by the first of June, the official opening of the Depot Museum will be at the Open House in conjunction with the Klown Days Festival. It was reported that The Heritage Museum meeting will be April 11 in Wakefield from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 ADVERTISE WITH US The Plainview News plvwnews@plvwtelco.net p.m. RSVP s will need to go to Jan Jorgensen at RC&D. More information is available from the RC&D office or from Barb Stout of Wakefield ( ).
