Fire departments benefit helping SORC 

Fourteen area volunteer 

fire departments received an 

extra donation from Sand Hills 

Open Road Challenge (SORC) 

to help out during a busy range 

fire season. 

SORC President Don Olson 

of Arnold presented Callaway 

Rural Fire District $1,000 

Monday evening to help defray 

fuel and repair costs. This, in 

addition to the yearly donation 

of $1,350 to Callaway Fire and 

Rescue for its help during the 

annual SORC races after its 12th 

year in August. Oconto Fire and 

Rescue received similar donation 

checks from SORC. 

SORC conducts the One- 

Mile Shoot Out south of Callaway, 

along with its 55 mile 

rally on the Dunning County 

Road, and added the Halseyto-Purdum 

rally for the first 

time this year. 

Olson said the organization 

has given over a half-million 

dollars back to communities 

and area fire departments that 

help with the annual event. This 

includes scholarships for students 

at area schools as well as 

Arnold community projects. 

“That’s what it was designed 

for and so far it’s working very 

good,” he said. 

The money is made possible 

through entry fees as well 

as more and bigger sponsors 

for the nonprofit event which 

brings rally drivers from all 

over the United States. Custer 

County officially closes those 

roads on racing days. 

Vaughn Ross of the Callaway 

Rural Fire District Board said, 

“It’s nice to get the money donated 

to us. It’s a nice gesture 

the committee makes.” 

He said the money will likely

LINCOLN — NET News will 

host a debate between the two 

candidates for Nebraska’s open 

U.S. Senate seat — Republican 

Deb Fischer and Democrat Bob 

Kerrey. 

The debate will air live at 

7 p.m., Monday, Oct. 1 CT, on 

NET1/HD and on NET Radio. 

The 60-minute debate will also 

be streamed live on the NET 

website at netNebraska.org. The

Television studios in Lincoln. 

News Director Dennis Kellogg

who represent media from 

LINCOLN — Many rural 

Nebraskans are concerned 

about the future of small-town 

businesses and are willing to 

endorse various strategies to 

help them survive, according to 

the Nebraska Rural Poll. 

The 17th annual University 

of Nebraska-Lincoln poll was 

sent to 6,350 households in 

Nebraska’s 84 nonmetropolitan 

counties in March and April. 

Results are based on 2,323 

responses. 

Among the topics explored 

in this year’s poll is the future 

of small businesses in rural 

Nebraska. A recent survey found 

that as many as one-fourth of all 

Nebraska small business owners 

are likely to exit their business 

in the next five years and up to 

one-half over the next decade. 

Nationally, data pegs that%age 

much higher. 

The Rural Poll found that 

SoRc president don olson (center) presents donation checks to callaway Fire chief charlie 

Jorgenson (left) and callaway Rural Fire district Board Member Vaughn Ross. 

be deposited in the general 

fund for fuel and repairs as 

intended. 

Fire Chief Charlie Jorgenson 

said fuel costs have been up this 

year as fire and rescue units 

have responded to numerous 

range fires and calls for mutual 

aid in remote locations. This has 

resulted in more repair costs as 

equipment is used hard. Fire 

calls have tapered off in the 

last few weeks but the danger 

remains during this extreme 

drought. 

Olson said the SORC committee 

considered calling off 

this year’s event due to the 

drought but were most concerned 

that fire departments 

across the state and will cover a 

wide range of topics important 

to Nebraskans during this election 

season. 

Some of the questions will 

be selected from the NET News 

election project, Voter Voices. 

Launched in partnership with 

the Nebraska Library Commission, 

Voter Voices encourages 

citizens to share their voice on 

the issues at stake in this year’s 

election. 

Patrons at more than 30 

libraries across the state have 

recorded their thoughts on 

important issues using a simple 

set-up of a provided web camera 

and YouTube channel. They 

also posted questions they 

wanted to have answered by 

candidates in Nebraska’s U.S. 

Senate race. 

about 49% of rural Nebraskans 

believe the number of businesses 

in their community will 

be about the same in five years. 

Thirty-nine% expect there to be 

fewer businesses while only 13% 

expect there to be more. The data 

also show that the smaller the 

community, the larger the%age 

of rural Nebraskans expecting 

fewer businesses in the future. 

Another dynamic at play is 

the fact that the age group most 

likely to start new businesses 

— 35-54 — is in decline in rural 

Nebraska, said Odee Ingersoll, 

director of the Nebraska Business 

Development Center, based 

at the University of Nebraska at 

Kearney. 

“So it’s not just the number of 

people leaving their businesses, 

but the number of individuals 

who are at the age where they 

might be in a position to start a 

business is dropping,” Ingersoll 

would be out fighting fires 

and unavailable. Without the 

various fire departments on 

hand, including Callaway and 

Oconto, the events would have 

been cancelled — even up to the 

morning of each. 

As it was, Olson said, SORC 

cancelled Unlimited category 

racing this year because those 

highly modified cars were considered 

the greatest danger for 

Neb. SHIIP assists 

with Medicare Open 

Enrollment Oct. 15 

Medicare’s Open Enrollment season is nearly upon 

us. From Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, those with Medicare can 

evaluate the new benefits Medicare has to offer, and 

if they choose, make changes to their prescription or 

health coverage. Nebraska SHIIP counselors are available 

to assist those with Medicare with comparing their 

options for 2013. 

There has never been a better time to find out about 

Medicare coverage. Whether you have Original Medicare 

or a Medicare Advantage plan, there are several new 

benefits, including lower prescription costs. People who 

take advantage of open enrollment may be able to save 

money and get improved coverage. 

“Your health needs change from year to year. And, 

your prescription or health plan may change the benefits 

and costs each year, too. That’s why it’s important to 

evaluate your Medicare choices every year,” said Alicia 

Jones, Director of the Nebraska Senior Health Insurance 

Information Program (SHIIP). 

“It’s worth the time to compare options, but you 

don’t have to do it alone. Medicare and Nebraska SHIIP 

provide free, unbiased counseling,” said Jones who offered 

three ways for people to get help: 

n Get one-on-one help from the Nebraska Senior 

Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP). Call 

the SHIIP toll-free hotline at 800-234-7119 to make 

an appointment. 

n Visit http://www.medicare.gov/find-a-plan to 

compare your current coverage with all of the available 

options in your area, and enroll in a new plan if you 

decide to make a change. 

n Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) 

24-hours a day/7 days a week to find out more about 

your coverage options. TTY users should call 1-877- 

486-2048. 

said. “This is critical.” 

Forty-one% of poll respondents 

said that when a business 

owner leaves or retires, the likeliest 

outcome is that business is 

eliminated. About 31% said it’s 

likeliest that the business 

will be purchased by another 

owner, while 12% say some other 

business providing the same 

goods or services will start up 

and 11% say the business will 

transition to a member of the 

same family. 

The poll found that at least 

40% of respondents backed the 

following strategies to pursue 

when a small business owners 

is considering leaving the 

business: work with the owner 

to transition to a new owner; 

provide technical assistance or 

training to people who might 

want to acquire the business; 

and use local revolving funds for 

loans to enable a new owner to 

acquire the business. 

The poll also explored rural 

Nebraskans’ use of wills and 

estate planning. It found that 

46% have a will or estate plan, 

while about 41% do not currently 

have one but expect to have one 

prepared. Thirteen% said they 

don’t have one and don’t expect 

to have one. 

Randy Cantrell, UNL rural 

sociologist, said he was surprised 

that even among those 

in agriculture, where investments 

in land and equipment 

can be quite significant, fewer 

than half the respondents have 

a will prepared. Also surprising: 

51% of those with a high school 

diploma or less in education 

have a will prepared, compared 

to just 45% of those with at least 

a bachelor’s degree. 

The poll also found that about 

40% of rural Nebraskans expect 

their estate to go to family heirs 

starting fires in a mishap. 

The yearly donation to 

fire and rescue departments 

comes in handy. Jorgenson 

said previous donations were 

accumulated and used to help 

buy a new/used ambulance 

from Arnold. Last year’s donation 

went towards buying 

a new cot for that ambulance. 

The ambulance has since been 

sold back to Arnold. 

“Everybody benefits,” he 

said.

Meanderings 

by Michael A. Wendorff 

What could be more perfect than spending a 

beautiful autumn day sitting in the stands watching 

a college football game? The sky was a pure, 

cloudless azure blue and the sun warmed the skin 

even as a chilly breeze kept one from overheating. 

It was sort of like sitting next to the air conditioner 

vent in a warm room. These kinds of days are 

rare between summer and winter. They are to be 

treasured and stored away in memory. 

We spent a pleasant couple of hours watching 

the Concordia University Bulldogs destroy a 

hapless Dordt College Defender team. We have a 

nephew who punts for the Bulldogs, the principle 

reason we made the road trip to see the game. The 

irony is that the Bulldogs played so well the nephew 

was never needed for a punting situation. I teased 

him after game asking him what position he played. 

It was only our second time at the stadium 

where there is plenty of room and one doesn’t 

have to weave in and out of ticket scalpers on the 

way to your nosebleed seat. Every seat is a good 

one. Concordia is hardly a conference football 

power. It shared a place in the cellar with Dordt. 

Concordia’s big win leaves Dordt as the lone occupant 

of that dark place underground. 

This correspondent is not an expert on GPAC 

athletics or the teams that inhabit the conference. 

I had to ask where Dordt College calls home. I got 

several answers from around the stands which 

seemed to narrow it on the map to somewhere near 

Sioux City in Northern Iowa. I looked it up later 

and found out it’s at Sioux Center. Hunnh. 

As I sat there taking in the scene, it occurred 

to me that this where good, but not great football 

players come to keep playing the sport they’ve 

loved since the first backyard pickup game. These 

are guys who played well for their high school 

teams but never got a sniff from a Division I or II 

program. Playing for the likes of a Concordia or 

Dordt team lets those who love the game keep putting 

on the pads and living the dream for a little 

while longer. I suspect this is football in a purer 

form than it’s big money cousins on TV. Isn’t that 

what it was supposed to be? If I lived in Seward or 

Crete (home of the Doane Tigers), I might become 

addicted to attending these games. 

* * * 

In other football business, in reading the postgame 

stories about the Husker team’s kickingpuppies-and-stepping-on-baby-chicks 

destruction 

of Idaho State 73-7, it appeared even the writers 

were a bit embarrassed to report on this utterly 

uneven contest. Yeah, we like a good rout, which 

aids nacho digestion immeasurably, but it’s difficult 

to see what purpose was served other than 

enriching Idaho State’s coffers. It’s sort of like 

letting someone punch you in the nose for $100. 

How bad do you need the C note? 

It was no different, on the other hand, than 

days of yore when big, bad Nebraska under legendary 

Tom Osborne would feast on such tender 

sweetmeats before engaging real opponents later 

in the season. It’s sort of like NFL preseason 

games which are little more than scrimmages 

where the rookies can get blooded in the second 

half. In this case, I suspect Bo Pelini could have 

started the scout squad and it might have been a 

more interesting game. I wouldn’t take the gaudy 

numbers run up in this debacle too seriously just 

yet. Wisconsin comes to Lincoln this weekend.

Don’t despair 

Sitting by the window of her 

convent, Sister Barbara opened 

a letter from home one evening. 

Inside the letter was a $100 bill 

her parents had sent. Sister Barbara 

smiled at the gesture. 

As she read the letter by the 

window, she noticed a shabbily 

dressed stranger leaning against 

the lamp post below. 

Quickly, she wrote, “Don’t 

despair, Sister Barbara,” on a 

piece of paper, wrapped the $100 

bill in it, got the man’s attention 

and tossed it out the window 

to him. 

The stranger picked it up, and 

with a puzzled expression and 

a tip of his hat, went off down 

the street. 

The next day, Sister Barbara 

was told that a man was at her 

door insisting on seeing her. 

She went down, and found the 

stranger waiting. Without a 

word, he handed her a huge wad 

of $100 bills. 

“What’s this?” she asked. 

“That’s the $8,000 you have 

coming Sister,” he replied. 

“‘Don’t Despair’ paid 80-to-1.” 

* * * 

Metaphorically 

An old priest got sick of everyone 

in his parish confessing 

adultery. During one Sunday’s 

sermon he told them, “If one 

more person confesses to adultery, 

I’ll quit!” 

Since everyone liked him, 

they decided to use a code word: 

“fallen”. 

From then on, anyone who 

had committed adultery said they 

had “fallen”. 

This satisfied the old priest 

and the parishioners, and everything 

was fine for years, until 

finally he passed away at the ripe 

old age of 93. 

Shortly after the new young 

priest settled in he paid a call on 

the mayor. 

The priest was quite concerned. 

“You have to do something 

about the sidewalks in this 

town, Mayor. You can’t believe 

how many people come into the 

confessional talking about having 

fallen!” 

The mayor started to laugh, 

realizing that no one had explained 

their code word to the 

new priest. 

But before the mayor could 

explain, the priest shook his 

finger at the mayor and said, “I 

don’t know why you’re laughing; 

your wife fell three times 

last week.”

The Death 

of Common Sense 

from the London Times 

Today we mourn the passing 

of a beloved old friend, Common 

Sense, who has been with us for 

many years. No one knows for 

sure how old he was, since his 

birth records were long ago lost in 

bureaucratic red tape. He will be 

remembered as having cultivated 

such valuable lessons as: 

n Knowing when to come in 

out of the rain; 

n Why the early bird gets the 

worm; 

Worth 

Repeatin’ 

From the collection 

of Pat Young 

n Life isn’t always fair; 

n And, maybe it was my 

fault. 

Common Sense lived by 

simple, sound financial policies 

(don’t spend more than you 

can earn) and reliabl strategies 

(adults, not children, are in 

charge). 

His health began to deteriorate 

rapidly when wellintentioned 

but overbearing 

regulations were set in place. 

Reports of a 6-year-old boy 

charged with sexual harassment 

for kissing a classmate; teens 

suspended from school for using 

mouthwash after lunch; and a 

teacher fired for reprimanding 

an unruly student, only worsened 

his condition. 

Common Sense lost ground 

when parents attacked teachers 

for doing the job that they 

themselves had failed to do 

in disciplining their unruly 

children. 

It declined even further when 

schools were required to get 

parental consent to administer 

sun lotion or an aspirin to a 

student; but could not inform 

parents when a student became 

pregnant and wanted to have an 

abortion. 

Common Sense lost the will 

to live as the churches became 

businesses and criminals received 

better treatment than 

their victims. 

Common Sense took a beating 

when you couldn’t defend 

yourself from a burglar in your 

own home and the burglar could 

sue you for assault. 

Common Sense finally gave 

up the will to live, after a woman 

failed to realize that a steaming 

cup of coffee was hot. She 

spilled a little in her lap, and 

was promptly awarded a huge 

settlement. 

Common Sense was preceded 

in death, his parents, Truth and 

Trust; his wife, Discretion; his 

daughter, Responsibility; and 

by his son, Reason. 

He is survived by his five 

stepbrothers: I Know My Rights, 

I Want it Now, Someone Else is 

to Blame, I’m a Victim, Pay me 

for Doing Nothing. 

Not many attended his funeral 

because so few realized he 

was gone. 

* * * 

Old folks joke 

A strong young man at a construction 

site was bragging that 

he could out-do anyone in a feat 

of strength. He made a special 

case of making fun of one of the 

older workmen. 

After several minutes, the 

older worker had enough. “Why 

don’t you put your money where 

your mouth is,” he said. “I’ll bet 

a week’s wages that I can haul 

something in a wheelbarrow over 

to that building that you won’t be 

able to wheel back.” 

“You’re on, old man,” the 

braggart replied. “Let’s see you 

do it.” 

The old man reached out and 

grabbed the wheelbarrow by the 

handles. Then, nodding to the 

young man, he said, “All right, 

get in.”

Library News 

by Librarian Bev Stivers 

Nigel Sprouse Library 

I’m quoting an article I found 

in the August 2010 Family Fun 

magazine. Which, by the way, 

we do subscribe to in the library. 

So come check it out. 

When it comes to raising 

readers, you know the drill: 

Start young, share books aloud, 

visit the library, and be a good 

role model. 

Here are seven ways to inspire 

your kids: 

No. 1, hook them on the 

story. Start it together, pique 

their curiosity and alternate 

print and screen. 

No. 2, keep it fun. Try these 

ideas. Use a prediction board, 

have a midnight movie quiz 

or collect information during 

the day and decide if it is fact 

or fiction. 

No. 3, make it social. Read 

New acreage reporting 

dates for 2013 announced 

LINCOLN – Producers of 

perennial forage and fall-seeded 

small grains must submit their 

2013 acreage report for those 

crops to the Farm Service Agency, 

and to their crop insurance 

agent, by Nov. 15. 

In prior years, reports for 

these crops were not due to FSA 

until late June/early July. “This 

change is part of an initiative at 

the national level to align acreage 

reporting dates between FSA and 

the Risk Management Agency 

(RMA), and reduce the crop 

reporting burden on producers”, 

announced Dan Steinkruger, 

Nebraska FSA State Executive 

Director. 

Crop acreage reports are essential 

to maintaining eligibility 

for multiple FSA program benefits, 

and establishing a record 

of historical cropping. Currently 

proposed Farm Bill legislation 

continues the crop reporting 

requirement. 

“Timely acreage reporting 

not only maintains a producer’s 

eligibility for traditional conservation, 

price support and 

Omission 

One more female firefighter 

needs to be added to the list of 

Oconto volunteers in a story 

published last week. Karen 

Bomberger is among that number 

who fights fires right along 

side the men.

production program benefits, but 

is also a requirement for critical 

disaster program assistance,” 

noted Steinkruger. 

Nov. 15 is also the crop insurance 

sales closing date for forage 

production in Nebraska. 

“Given the 2012 drought 

across the state, farmers and 

ranchers should consider their 

insurance options including the 

new Pasture, Rangeland and 

Forage (PRF) Rainfall Index program 

to cover pasture drought 

losses,” said Steinkruger. 

Producers are reminded of the 

importance to accurately report 

the crop, crop acreage, intended 

use, irrigation practice, planting 

date and producer shares. Prevented 

planted acres must be reported 

within 15 days of the final 

planting date. Failed acres must 

be reported to FSA within 15 days 

of when the loss becomes apparent 

for non-insurable crops, or 

otherwise prior to disposition 

of the crop. Contact your local 

FSA office with questions or to 

schedule an acreage certification 

appointment.

The stats don’t necesarily 

show a strong game but South 

Loup was steady distributing 

attacks across the net and going 

91% serving. Sierra Monroe led 

the attack with three kills while 

Rush recorded another 3 stuffs. 

Shayla Dockweiler was 8-of-8

South Loup vs. W-P

a scrappy team

your team ought to have won. 

Senior Derek Hildebrandt 

did all of that in South Loup’s 

improved offensive attack 

Friday but the Red Raiders of 

Loup City still came out on top 

47-26 against a leaky Bobcat 

defense. 

“That was the best we’ve 

done all year,” said Head Coach 

Andy Schwarz. “I thought we 

did a good job. The backs ran 

hard and I didn’t see much 

room for improvement. We 

had a few penalties but that’s 

normal. Offensively I thought 

we did great.” 

The Raiders had some offense 

of their own protected 

by a huge, powerful line which 

freed Brady Rasmussen for 169 

yards rushing while their senior 

quarterback Austin Bochart 

connected 5-of-5 passing for 117

yards. South Loup’s speedy but 

much smaller defense simply 

could not contain Loup City in 

the District 8 opener. 

Loup City struck pay-dirt 

on its first possession with a 

34 yard Rasmussen run. The 

PAT kick missed. The Raiders 

had early success running up 

the middle until South Loup 

closed it down. In so doing, it 

opened the edges from which 

Loup City took advantage the 

rest of the night. 

It looked like more of the 

same for the Bobcats with that 

first Raiders score, but the offense 

answered back executing 

a 10 play drive down to the 1 

yard line. 

The drive appeared dead mid 

way through but punter Layton 

Dockweiler had no intention of 

kicking away on fourth-and-2

at Raiders 35. He ran around 

the right side down to the 14. 

Three plays later quarterback 

Eamon Schwarz punched it in 

for the first South Loup TD. 

Colter Glendy kicked the PAT 

to take an early lead. 

The Raiders, still trying to 

go up the middle, went threeand-punt 

giving the Bobcats the 

ball back on their own 35. Hildebrandt 

needed just one play 

to race 45 yards for the second 

South Loup TD. Glendy’s kick 

made it 14-6 and it was looking 

good with 2:58 left in the first. 

Big plays and the Raiders 

seem to go together. Starting 

on their own 34, Bochart hit 

Reilly Lambrecht for a 25 yard 

pass from the 37 down to the 

SL 18. Rasmussen took it outside 

for six. Bochart hit Austin 

Jakubowski for the 2 point 

conversion for the tie. 

South Loup would not lead 

again as Loup City went on a 

14-0 run in the second on a 60 

yard TD run by Rasmussen and 

a 2 yard dive by Bochart with 20

seconds left in the half. 

South Loup had a 15 play 

drive in the second only to lose 

it on downs at the 10. 

In the mean time, lineman 

Charlie Blowers came out 

with a bum ankle and did not 

return while linebacker Garret 

Dockweiler nursed his own 

along setting out part of the 

third. It opened the middle of 

the defensive front early in the 

third where Bochart punched 

it in from 16 yards out for a 

34-14 lead. 

The Bobcats started from 

their own 10 after a holding 

call on the run-back but 

marched it down to the Raiders 

3 where Hildebrandt scored. 

The 2 point conversion failed 

but South Loup was just two 

touchdowns out. 

South Loup pushed back 

a bit when junior Kaden Ellis 

rushed from the end to sack 

Bochart for a 5 yard loss but 

the sure-armed Raiders QB 

found a streaking Jakubowski

there to make it 40-20 with 45

“We’re really struggling defensively,” 

Schwarz said. “Some 

things it could be and some 

things it couldn’t be. I think it’s 

just a combination ... We’re not 

getting on our assignments like 

we should be. We’re still having 

a lot of breakdowns.” 

Failure to contain the outside 

is adding up to huge chunks 

of yardage being given up that 

Schwarz believes should not be 

happening. “It’s frustrating. I 

really thought we would be better 

defensively. But, I guess we 

got another game next week and 

we’ll try and get better.” 

Time began to tick away as 

South Loup, trailing but unable 

to pass effectively, kept it on 

the ground from their own 23 

down to the Raider 10 where 

Hildebrandt scored his third 

TD. The 2 pointer failed for the 

’cats final score.

Torpin grew up helping her 

mother cut blocks and tie comforters 

to use during the cold winter 

nights. With encouragement 

from her Missouri Grandmother 

she made her first quilt, “The 

Lone Star,” at age 16. 

As her quilt making improved, 

she began to enter contests, 

shows, and finally the Nebraska 

State Fair where she fulfilled a 

life-long dream of winning “Best 

Quilt” in 1991 with “Begin with 

Butterflies.” Fifteen to twenty of 

her quilts will be on display at the

Bochart scored from 43 yards 

out with 5:46 left in the contest 

and the PAT kick put Loup City at 

47. Reserves began to filter in as 

the Raiders ran out the clock. 

South Loup racked up 326 

yards on the ground and there 

were zero turnovers on this 

night. 

“We just wanted to get back 

to running the ball, doing simple 

things, and they did it,” Schwarz 

said. “They did a really good job 

up front. I was really pleased.” 

Glendy led the South Loup 

defense with 10 tackles, including 

8 solo stops. 

It was the fourth straight loss 

for the Bobcats who are now 1-4 

overall. Loup City is at 3-1 overall 

with Palmer (3-1) next up on 

their slate. 

South Loup will host Ansley/ 

Litchfield (2-2) at Arnold this 

Friday. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. The 

coach said the Spartans are 

another big team that can come 

right at a defense and throw 

pretty well too. 

The Bobcats get a week off 

before traveling to Palmer on 

Oct. 12 and then finish up the 

regular season hosting Twin 

Loup (2-2) which lost a 39-38 

heartbreaker to Palmer last
