Heaccepted a job at the school in Randolph where hetaught English and Spanish for 24 years.In 1972, Bradley found out he was adopted. Hewas 25 years old at the time and living in Randolph.His brother was a Vietnam veteran and hadbeen exposed to Agent Orange.When he found out his brother was in kidneyfailure he made the trip back to New Jersey andoffered to give his brother one of his kidneys.At that time, Bradley was informed he wasadopted and it probably would not work.“My brother was adopted, too, and he had neverknown either,” Bradley said. “My mother, who hadadopted me, showed me the papers and I saw mybirth mother’s name and the place where I was bornwhich was a home for unwed mothers.”That name and the place of birth were the onlythings Bradley had when a search was done to findhis mother forty years later.The only person Bradley told he was adopted washis wife, Sherry, until years later when he sharedthe information with his youngest son.“I told my son when he was in eighth or ninthgrade. I didn’t think it meant anything to him buthe never forgot it,” George said. “Several yearslater my two sons talked to their sister and toldher to try and find my mother.

She was happy forme, as I have a good life with my adoptive parents.She told me why she had done it.”George’s birth mother had been young,unemployed, divorced and already had one childto care for. She had moved back in and was livingwith her parents.Even though she had thought it was the bestthing to do at the time when she met George forthe first time she told him she was afraid he mightbe angry with her.George and his wife immediately startedto make arrangements to travel to the eastcoast so he could meet his mother but theplans were soon interrupted.“My kids all wanted to go to,” he said.“My daughter Stephanie especially wantedto be there when I met my mother for thefirst time.”George and Sherry flew to New JerseyDec. 6, along with their two sons,Christopher and Nick, and their wives;daughter, Stephanie, and their son-in-law,and their three grandchildren.It was a happy reunion for everyone.Within just a few days Bradley felt abond with his four sisters – Diana, Debbie,Donna and Denise. Even though it hadbeen 65 years, he also felt a connection tohis mother.“Once I met her – she was my mom,”George said. “My sisters love me like abrother and I love them as my sisters. Theytook me and my family in like they knewus. We met almost all of them except forone nephew that lives in Florida.”The whole family gathered that Sundayfor a big Italian dinner.“My birth mother’s name is SantaDiDolce. My grandparents came fromSicily,” George said. “I am half Italian.”More trips are in the works for Bradley’s family.George and Sherry plan on visiting their familyin New Jersey once or twice a year and many ofthem will be coming out to Nebraska.His mother, who is 87, would also like to makethe trip to her son’s home in Randolph.George Bradley flew to New Jersey Dec. 6 to meethis birth mother, Santa DiDolce for the first time.She doesn’t want to fly but would come out bytrain.Even though it took 65 years, Bradley couldnot be any happier with the reunion with his birthmother.“I have been blessed with two mothers,” Bradleysaid.The Hartngton Senior Center Will Host This Friday’s Hartington Chamber of Commerce Coffee

Schulte went overa few of them, including theEaster Egg Hunt, the EasterBasket Giveaway, and the annualCandlelight Christmas.“We’ve heard it is the best onewe have ever had,” Schulte said.During her mention of theCandlelight Christmas event,Schulte thanked Darrell and LoriKathol for providing some of theBY JACOB SNYDERCEDAR COUNTY NEWSHARTINGTON —Dan Leise,general manager of Cedar-Knox, said although much haschanged since the companywas started, their missionremains the same, to providesafe, reliable, affordable, highqualityelectrical service tocustomers.Sunday, CKPPD receivedan appreciation award at theChamber of Commerce Banquetfor being in business 75years.“I think we have been a pillarin this community,” Leise said.“We take pride in what we haveaccomplished over the years.”In October 1937, Cedar andthe east part of Knox countiespartnered to form Cedar-KnoxPublic Power District, and inDecember 1938, over 200 ruralcustomers were energized. Thefirst board of directors includednine individuals and HaroldMartindale was the first generalmanager of the company.These nine proceeded forwardwith what was considereda “daunting” task. In thosedays, local farmers volunteeredto help set poles and stringwire to move the project alongand make this dream a reality.People were reluctant atfirst, but after the war, everyonewanted the power. By1950, almost 100 percent ofthe rural people had electricity.Martindale remained thegeneral manager for 45 yearsbefore Jerry Litz took over thereigns in 1983. Several moreheld the position over the yearsbefore Leise was appointed togeneral manager in 2006.As has been the case sincethe company’s birth, CKPPDonly has one location, westof town in Hartington. Thecompany serves all of CedarCounty and the eastern halfof Knox County and employs27 people.Today, the company not onlycontinues to offer electricity forthe area, but also offers a scholarshipand a few educationalprograms as well.In August 1981, the HaroldMartindale Memorial Scholarshipwas established inrecognition of his many yearsof service to the District. Thescholarship is awarded to adecorations downtown.Thanks were also handed outto those who came to the meetingsin 2012 and for those whodonated time and manpower forall the events, especially CandlelightChristmas.For 2013, Schulte urgedpeople to continue attendingmeetings and giving their inputbecause the Chamber believesit is very important. Meetingsare typically at noon on the firstWednesday of the month.“We welcome your attendanceand ideas at the meetings in2013,” Schulte said.Following Schulte’s review ofthe past year, Treasurer KarenFlamig then went over the financialstatement for December2012, explaining how much theChamber brought in and whatthe expenses were.Discussion then shifted tosharing and talking about a fewideas for activities in the upcomingyear. Some of the ideasincluded a possible Farm and AgDay and a street dance.A Farm and Ag Day would bewhere people in the agriculturebusiness would set up boothsand/or bring in display itemsdealing with their business.The Farm and Ag Day wouldbe a chance to not only supportChamber helps mark 75 yearsfor Cedar-Knox Public Powerstudent at Northeast CommunityCollege who is in theUtility Lineman Program.Also, each year the NebraskaRural Electrical Associationholds a Youth Energy Campin Halsey. It is a week-long funand educational program forteenage attendees from acrossthe state.The camp is intended to exposeyoung men and women tothe public power model and theprocesses of safely producingand distributing electrical energyto homes and businessesacross the state.Technology has certainlybeen part of many changesthe business has gone throughin 75 years because of howrapidly it has progressed inrecent years.“Indeed, our core missionremains static, but there is acontinual need for employeesto learn and evolve with excitingnew technologies andequipment that can improveour system and the lives ofconsumers,” Leise said.Another significant change,Leise said, is the growing numberof wind farms that are goingup. He said it has not necessarilychanged how the CKPPDoperates, but it is just anothersource of electricity to use.Leise said some things hebelieves the company doeswell are being there when thecustomer needs them. Thecompany prides themselves inproviding prompt service.“I think we provide goodcustomer service,” he said.For the future, CKPPDhas been working on and willcomplete in the next year, anautomated metering system. Itwill allow for employees to beable to read the meters fromthe comfort of the office.“It will also help us to monitorour systems,” Leise said.Building up the CKPPD hasbeen a collaborative effort bymany from the past and present,Leise said. He added thatMartindale essentially broughtthe company to life and builta foundation on which thedistrict stands.“Since then, many wonderful,dedicated employees havelabored with him and continueto make the Cedar-Knox storya successful one,” Leise said.Hartington Chamber president Karma Schulte presents a plaqueto Cedar Knox Public Power Director Dan Leise, and formerdirector, Jerry Litz, in honor of CKPPD’s 75 years of serviceto Hartington and the surrounding area.people in this particular line ofwork, but also a chance to educateothers about the agriculturebusiness. Bruning said it wouldbe a good idea because Hartingtonis after all, an agriculturalcommunity.Schulte then opened up thefloor to hear people’s opinionabout these events. While manythought the ideas were good, theysaid it would need a lot of workand planning, and it would besomething that could be donein the future, but likely not thisyear.As for the street dance, thegeneral consensus was thatit would be a good idea, but itmight have to be done after thedowntown revitalization projectis complete.The final activity of the eveningwas to elect and install officers.Kristi Bruning was re-electedas Chamber secretary and KarenFlamig was re-elected as Chambertreasurer. Mary Grosskop,Julie DeBlauw and Gary Howeywere all elected to the Board ofDirectors.These officers then got up,raised their right hands, and wereinstalled.

This decision lies with theinspector.“It is kind of up to the inspector’sdiscretion,” Schmidt said.Areas of concern can range frombroken planks on the deck, erodingproblems, gravel accumulation on thedeck, or a delineator might be missing.Delineators are used to enhance visibilityof a feature on a highway system.In addition, I have introduced LB60,which would remove Knox County fromthe brand inspection area.

He explained that, since July,OCR has increased its newsroom staff room 185 writers andeditors to 300.I could write several columns about the changes at OCR,but I can sense Rob’s excitement when he discussed his workwith America’s “largest community newspaper,” a descriptioncredited to Ken Brusic, executive editor.After spending my afternoon interviewing Carl Redman andRob Curley, I found it difficult to understand why Safer referredto newspapers as “dying.”I found it even harder to understand after reading a story inNews & Tech today that six of eight publicly traded newspapercompanies showed increases in their stock prices in 2012. Notsmall increases, but double-digit increases.I love talking with folks who are excited about working fortheir newspapers. I visited with two newspapers in Virginiaand Kentucky over the past few weeks to work with their staffs.Both papers are doing well and continue to invest in the future.It’s no coincidence papers that invest in the future thrive.And while the Orange County Register may be America’s largestcommunity paper, you can bet that thousands of communitypapers will continue to serve their communities and surpriseMorley Safer at the same time.My suggestion?Newspaper readers need to remember that their local newspaperis providing a vital service to the community as it has foryears.

They also take time tounderstand how people run theiroperation as if it were there own.The way the company sees it, isthey are only as successful as theircustomers are, according to theirwebsite. The also said that is thereason they invest time, energy, andresources to ensure the purity andquality of what they deliver.Kathol said one way the companyhas changed is it has gone from beinga small industry to a high-techoperation. What started in easternIowa and Illinois has moved westwardto Colorado and southwardto Texas. Corn growing has gonefrom open-pollination to geneticallymodified organisms, also known tomany as GMOs.Open pollination is achievedby insects, birds, wind, or othernatural mechanisms. The seeds ofopen-pollinated plants will producenew generations of those plants. Onthe other hand, GMOs are a resultfrom a discipline called GeneticEngineering which involved takinggenes from one species and insertingthem into another. One particulardifficulty the company has faced isthat the seed business keeps gettingearlier and earlier, Kathol said.“People are more demanding andexpect more,” Kathol said.To meet these demands andexpectations, Kathol said it is importantto keep up and educated aboutthe technology, planting processesand products, which he believes thecompany does well.“I think we are knowledgeable inknowing what the proper productis for the proper situation,” Katholsaid. As for the future, Kathol saidhe wants to continue giving peoplethe best service possible by providingthem with the right product forthe right situation.Rural WaterContinued from page 1As a result, the surfacewater treatment plant in thebankrupt Devils Nest Developmentwas purchased and theProject was born. Lewis andClark Lake is used as the watersource.Work on the distributionsystem and refurbishing thetreatment plant began April21, 1981, and the first waterwent was pumped Oct. 1,1981. One 165 miles of pipeand one booster station served283 rural users and two towns,Crofton and St. Helena.Three additions have beenmade to the original project.The Project now serves 822service connections, whichincludes four villages, threehousing subdivisions, Gavin’sPoint Dam facilities, LakeviewGolf Course and Lewis andClark State Recreation Area.The project goes as far eastas Obert and south to the edgeof Hartington with a total of392 miles of pipeline.The treatment plant usesthe excess lime treatmentprocess to clarify the waterpumped from the Lewis andClark Lake. This process alsosoftens the raw water down.Carbon filtration to controltaste and odor has been addedto the system and the water isfluoridated and chlorinated.If enough people commit,Brooky Bottoms may becomepart of the service area.“To start the process, weneed a $25 engineering fee,which we are asking for tonight,”Jueden said. This fee isnon-refundable.After paying the fee, the applicantmust fill out a WaterUse Agreement and an easementso access can be gainedto their property for line maintenance.The cost will be around$7,000, which is just a roughestimate, according to Jueden,for a meter pit and to install LibraryContinued from Page 1out the building by selling carpet squares at $30 a piece topatrons and businesses. Within four months, the library hadraised $20,000, enough to complete the project without usingany taxpayer funds.“That’s a lot of local support,” Anderson said. “That just showsyou how much they love and appreciate our small town library.”Anderson explained that the library is always looking for newideas and ones the patrons want. They currently offer a hostof programs for people of all ages.One program that has been around a long time, classes forthose who want to learn the basics about computer, is beingoffered again this year. However, the difference is this year, itis free of charge to patrons, thanks to a B-TOP grant.The B-TOP grant is one feature of The American Recoveryand Reinvestment Act. The ARRA has provided $7.2 billion toexpand access to broadband services across the United States.Grants were provided to about 140 libraries across the UnitedStates. The Hartington Public Library received one for $15,000.Music Monday is a music program for children ages kindergartenand younger. While listening to age appropriate songson tape and CD, children use their hands, legs, and musicalinstruments to keep the rhythm and act out songs.There is also a summer reading program, which is for childrenages preschool to those entering sixth grade. The programstarts at the beginning of June and spans five weeks. Includedin it are opportunities for children to come to story times thatinclude songs, crafts, games and other activities. Andersonsaid there are about 175 children currently in the program.The art gallery, which is funded by the Hartington LibraryFoundation, is another attraction offered by the library. It wasopened to promote art exhibits and enhance the role of arts inthe community.“Our art gallery draws a lot of traffic,” Anderson said.Last month, Hope Dendinger, Hartington, displayed hercontemporary abstract artwork. In January, Wayne State artstudents Shelby Kuehn, Danny Rizor and Lora Sehi will displaySchiferl named toSDSU Dean’s ListBROOKINGS, S.D. - MeganMarie Schiferl, Fordyce, wasnamed to the dean’s list duringthe Fall 2012 semester at SouthDakota State University.To earn dean’s list distinctionsat SDSU, students completea minimum of 12 creditsand must have earned at leasta 3.5 grade point average on a4.0 scale.it. The pit would be locatednear the edge of the property,Schroeder said.A meter pit is contained insidea 15 inch by 6 foot PVCpipe buried on the homeowner’sproperty. Inside this pit isthe shut off valves and othernecessary plumbing. The meterunit in the pit is located atthe bottom of the pit under aninsulation pillow.The homeowner is then responsibleto install plumbingfrom the meter pit to the pointof use. If you choose not toconnect right away, the othercustomers will be paying for it.A major reason for doing thisis so there are not any “stragglers,”Jueden said.From there, the cost wouldbe $36 a month plus $4.50 per1,000 gallons you use, whetheryou use it or not, accordingto Schroeder.“The more people that hookup to the line, the cheaper itis going to be for everyone,”Jueden said.Water usage must meet severalother conditions as well.Each property will require aseparate meter. No sub-metersare allowed. Also, therecan be no cross connectionswith alternative water sources.Jueden said they do this toavoid the possibility of contamination.Meters will be read by theProject and billings are sentout each month. Water serviceobligations run a minimum offour years for payments.Failure to pay the monthlyrates will result in a disconnectionof the customer’s waterservice. Though, in extenuatingcircumstances, it wouldbe good to contact a memberof the Project team.“If there is a hardship inyour family, we are not just goingto come out and turn yourwater off,” Jueden said. “Contactus and we will work withyou.”Library Director Tami Anderson, and assistant, Carol Craig, displaythe certificate announcing the Hartington Library’s five-starrating from the Library Journal Index of Public Library Service.their artwork.Two story times are also available. One meets every Wednesdayat 10 a.m. It is a 30-minute program for children ages 3-5and helps them get acquainted with the library, books andother children their age.Also, the library offers a theme-based monthly Story HourSeptember-April, on the last Thursday of every month, at 4p.m., for children grades preschool through second grade.In the end, Anderson said she believes the library is a bigpart of the community and she wants to continue seeking newways to expand and provide new programs for patrons.“We just try to provide what our patrons enjoy,” Andersonsaid. “And we also try to anticipate what the patrons want andneed.”www.hartington.net

It's theCedar County News on-line!And Coming SoonKeep watchingfor more details!Draining wetlands could costproducers USDA program benefitsLINCOLN – Nebraska farmersare urged to talk withUSDA Natural ResourcesConservation Service officialsbefore draining any wet areasor bringing new land intoproduction. NRCS State ResourceConservationist ShaunVickers says farmers are undertremendous economicpressure to produce crops,which may cause growers toconsider altering wetland areasto make them more farmable.As farmers prepare for theupcoming planting season,they should be cautious withdraining, altering or fillingwetlands in their fields, saysVickers, since their eligibilityfor USDA farm program benefitscould be at stake.“If you have a wet areawhich you’re considering altering,come in and talk to theNRCS staff. We can do a wetlanddetermination to knowif that area is a wetland ornot and keep you in compliancewith your current conservationplan,” says Vickers.“The ramifications of alteringwetlands can be significantin terms of the potential forlosing USDA financial assistanceand also in the amountof time that it takes to resolveunapproved alterations.”Since the 1985 Farm Billwas passed, there have beenprovisions in place to protectwetlands and highly erodiblecropland. Farming a wetlandunder natural conditions isnot a violation. However, Vickersexplains, “Draining, tiling,altering or filling a wetlandfor the purpose of producingan agricultural commoditycauses the farmer to becomeineligible for USDA programbenefits.” Vickers says, “It isbetter to find out where yourUSDA defined wetlands are locatedand the potential consequencesof altering them so asto avoid confusion later.”Some maintenance activitiesare allowed; however, producersshould be careful tomake sure the extent of theoriginal manipulation is notexceeded. “The best thing todo is check with your localNRCS office before taking actionaround wetlands,” saysVickers.Vickers says producersshouldn’t wait to visit withNRCS conservation staff.Some eastern Nebraska countieshave several wetland determinationrequests alreadyon hand, so the earlier communicationbegins, the better.Landowners are also encouragedto visit NRCS staffabout voluntary conservationprograms that provide farmerspayments for preservingor restoring wetlands. Landownersbenefit by retainingownership and access to theirland. They no longer try tofarm marginal cropland, andhave possible income opportunitiesfrom recreation, grazingor haying. During 2012,over 4,000 acres of wetlandswere restored across Nebraskawith NRCS assistance.For more information aboutwetlands, conservation programsor compliance issues,visit your local NRCS field officeorwww.ne.nrcs.usda.gov.Farmers and Ranchers Cow/Calf College is set for Jan. 22LINCOLN — The annual Farmers and Ranchers Cow/CalfCollege “Partners in Progress – Beef Seminar” will be Jan. 22at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center and Great PlainsVeterinary Education Center near Clay Center.Registration will be from 9-9:50 a.m. with coffee and donuts.The program will start at 9:50 a.m. and concludearound 3:45 p.m.This year’s theme will center on recovering from the 2012drought and preparing for the potential of a 2013 drought.This program is sponsored by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension’s Farmers and Ranchers College and willfeature several outstanding speakers discussing issues andmanagement strategies that can affect the profitability of allbeef producers, said Dewey Lienemann, UNL Extension educatorin Webster County.“The seminar is packed with experts in climate, forages,animal nutrition and reproduction and will provide informationthat should help in planning for the upcoming year,”Lienemann said.There is no cost for the event and the public is invited.Preregistration is required by Jan. 18 to ensure a seat, lunchand proceedings for the day.The Cow/Calf College will kick off with a 9:50 a.m. welcomeby John Pollak, director of the USMARC.

The first settlers realized the value oftrees. They planted millions of trees/shrubson barren homesteads to help fulfill their basicneeds for protection, building material, fuel,and food. Planting trees quickly became a Nebraskatradition and Nebraska proudly becameknown as “The Tree Planter State”. Today, allNebraskans benefit from the trees planted byour forefathers.“The need for trees remains important today.The job is not finished” said Dennis Adams,forester with the Nebraska Forest Service andUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension.Adams estimates that there is a need to annuallyplant about 6 million trees/shrubs for allconservation purposes in Nebraska, including:• Energy Conservation. A good shelterbeltcan reduce home heating and cooling costsby up to 30%.• Crop Protection. A good field windbreakcan increase average dry land crop yields upto 15% and may make the difference betweena crop and no crop in a severe drought year.• Livestock Protection. A well-designed livestockwindbreak reduces stress on livestock,increases weight gain, and can decrease cattlemortality during severe winter storms.• Wildlife Habitat. Trees and shrubs provideHARTINGTON — The 2013 tree plantingseason is just around the corner and the timeis now to plan your windbreak or conservationtree planting.

There are severalcost share programs available to help with thecost of establishing tree planting, call to seewhat could work for you.It is important to consider how continueddrought conditions could impact your treeplanting. If you are planning to establish afarmstead windbreak or other tree planting youmay need to have a plan to water the trees intimes of stress over the next couple of years.HARTINGTON — The Cedar Knox RuralWater Project Advisory Committee providesa $500 scholarship to a high school senior inmemoriam of Galen Jueden.Jueden was a dedicated 14-year employeewho gave 100 percent, all the time, to thecustomers and staff of the Cedar Knox RuralWater Project.

Well-placed shelterbelts canminimize snow drifting on roads, driveways,and in farmsteads, or distribute snow moreevenly over fields.• Soil Conservation. Well-designed fieldwindbreaks help prevent wind erosion of soilon bare cropland.• Water Quality. A cover of trees and shrubsminimizes soil erosion, stabilizes stream banksin riparian areas, and removes soil contaminants.• Wood Products. As trees grow they providevaluable firewood, lumber, biomass and othervaluable wood products.• Food. Many trees and shrubs are a valuablesource of fruit and nuts for humans andanimals.“Often trees and shrubs planted for onespecific conservation purpose also provide additionalbenefits,” Adams said. “For example, ashelterbelt planted primarily to prevent snowdrifting in the farmstead driveway also reducesenergy costs, attracts wildlife, and adds beautyas extra benefits,” he added.The Nebraska Conservation Trees InitiativePartnership is a consortium of local, stateand federal agencies that includes: Nebraska’snatural resources districts, the Nebraska Associationof Resources Districts, the NebraskaForest Service, the Nebraska Department ofAgriculture, and the USDA Natural ResourcesConservation Service, USDA Forest Service,and USDA Farm Service Agency.
