Pipe Dreams to be<br />

Shown in O’Neill<br />

Everyone is welcome to a public<br />

screening of the movie Pipe Dreams<br />

at 7PM at the new O'Neill Community<br />

Center on December 11, 2011. There<br />

will be a viewing in <strong>Stuart</strong> coming<br />

soon. Time and date will be announced<br />

soon. Pipe Dreams was produced<br />

by Jane Kelly Kosek and Leslie<br />

Iwerks.<br />

This is a film about the ongoing<br />

debate of the Keystone XL Pipeline, -<br />

a 40-minute documentary that explores<br />

the social, political and environmental<br />

impacts of the $7 billion construction<br />

of the proposed Keystone XL<br />

Pipeline. This movie is directed by<br />

Academy Award nominated filmmaker<br />

Leslie Iwerks and narrated by Daryl<br />

Hannah (who was also arrested in<br />

Washington D.C. August 30th for protesting<br />

the pipeline), this film marks<br />

the third outing on the subject by<br />

Iwerks, with the most imminent potential<br />

to influence a national decision.<br />

This film uncovers the realities<br />

behind building this 1,980-mile pipeline<br />

through the heartland of America.<br />

Through interviews with landowners,<br />

politicians, scientists, engineers, environmental<br />

groups, activists and more,<br />

it discusses the increasing ramifications<br />

of America’s reliance on Canada’s<br />

tar sands, as well as the sacrifices<br />

on people, wildlife and the environment<br />

in the long term. On the opposite<br />

side, it will examine Keystone’s<br />

proposed job creations, the land reclamation,<br />

projected revenue for landowners<br />

and taxpayers, reliance on<br />

foreign oil, and pipeline safety history<br />

in America. In addition, the film will<br />

take a look at the existing Keystone I<br />

Pipeline, its ongoing leaks, and the<br />

personal stories of landowners whose<br />

land it has affected.<br />

Parkside Manor News<br />

November 28-December 3, 2011<br />

Greetings from Parkside Manor!!<br />

Monday morning was the beginning of<br />

all the holiday decorating for us. The<br />

FFA members from the <strong>Stuart</strong> Public<br />

School came to help us get in the holiday<br />

spirit by putting up the four big<br />

trees that we have. We really do appreciate<br />

these kids and their teachers<br />

doing this. The residents sat in the living<br />

room and watched the festivities<br />

going on. Each tree is different and<br />

each one is very beautiful. Judy was<br />

busy in the beauty shop today. Exercise<br />

was done right before lunch. More<br />

decorating was done after lunch and<br />

the residents helped with this. Everyone<br />

enjoyed social hour and later<br />

watched a music video.<br />

Tuesday morning Agnes Krobot<br />

prayed the Rosary with the residents.<br />

Bible stories were read to the other<br />

residents. A couple games of Wii were<br />

also played this morning. In the afternoon,<br />

the Knights of Columbus were<br />

here to host the weekly Bingo. The<br />

folks who were here to help were K.<br />

and Betty Barritt, Jim and Kathy<br />

Chvala, Gerald Fahrenholz, and Bob<br />

Tielke. The helpers enjoyed<br />

some refreshments with the<br />

residents for social hour. We<br />

were all happy to have Sandy<br />

bring in her baby to visit everyone.<br />

We all like little children.<br />

Wednesday morning the<br />

crafters met in the activity room<br />

and cut out lots of socks, mittens<br />

and trees to place on the<br />

tree. Many Christmas traditions<br />

were read about and discussed.<br />

It was really interesting<br />

to see how the traditions that we<br />

are all used to got started. In the<br />

afternoon, peanut butter and jelly<br />

sandwiches were made by the cooking<br />

group. These were served for<br />

social hour. Later, we watched the<br />

first Christmas movie of the year.<br />

Judy was again working in the<br />

beauty shop today.<br />

Thursday morning was spent on<br />

a coloring project. We colored some<br />

beautiful Christmas scenes. Exercise<br />

was done to the music tape.<br />

Diana was doing hairstyles today.<br />

There was more decorating going on<br />

in the afternoon before Thirsty<br />

Thursday. There was a large crowd<br />

on hand for this favorite activity<br />

again today. Today, we served<br />

meatballs and onion rings along with<br />

all the favorite beverages.<br />

Pastor John Ryding from Christ<br />

Lutheran Church was here to<br />

lead the Protestant church service<br />

Friday morning. Elaine<br />

Schorn played the organ for the<br />

hymns that were sung. Most of<br />

the ladies had their nails freshly<br />

polished today. Father Luke<br />

Steffes was here to celebrate<br />

Mass with the residents and<br />

people from the community in<br />

the afternoon. Ice cream was<br />

served for social hour, and later,<br />

we enjoyed some special music.<br />

Claudine was here to host the<br />

Saturday social hour. We appreciate<br />

her many years of volunteering<br />

to be with the residents<br />

on these Saturdays. There<br />

were many visitors in the facility<br />

during the weekend and we are<br />

always so grateful for each and<br />

everyone. Please feel free to<br />

come visit when you have time.<br />

2011 North Central <strong>Nebraska</strong> Public Health Banquet<br />

O’Neill – ―Pure Performance‖ was the topic presented by John Underwood,<br />

featured speaker of the North Central <strong>Nebraska</strong> Public Health Banquet on Friday,<br />

November 4 th . Over 135 people gathered from across the far reaches of<br />

Antelope, Boyd, Brown, Cherry, Holt, Keya Paha, Knox, Pierce and Rock<br />

Counties to listen to Mr. Underwood convey his research and experiences<br />

about the field of athletics and social drug use.<br />

John Underwood, President<br />

and Founder of the<br />

American Athletic Institute, is a<br />

former NCAA All-American,<br />

International-level distance<br />

runner and World Masters<br />

Champion and has coached or<br />

advised more than two dozen<br />

Olympians including World and<br />

Olympic Champions. He holds<br />

three International Olympic<br />

Solidarity diplomas for coaching<br />

and has been a crusader<br />

for drug-free sport at all levels.<br />

He has conducted the only<br />

physiological case study, of the residual effect of alcohol on elite athletic performance.<br />

The American Athletic Institute has forged a reputation as the experts<br />

in the field of athletics and social drug use.<br />

John talked about how the American Athletic Institute’s Community Programs<br />

teach individuals strategies and techniques to constantly address the<br />

ever changing and growing influences that increase risk for our youth. These<br />

programs are designed to take lessons learned in sport: teamwork, collective<br />

responsibility, discipline, loyalty, family, trust and bring these values into the<br />

community.<br />

He explained that alcohol use among adolescent athletes is fairly high, but<br />

the problem is complex. Young athletes may be more likely to abuse alcohol<br />

than their non-athlete peers and more likely to suffer behavioral and psychosocial<br />

consequences as a result of drinking. They are also more prone to binge<br />

drinking. John believes that education and prevention strategies should focus<br />

on physiological, behavioral and psychosocial consequences. At this juncture,<br />

these problems must be confronted in an immediate fashion. They must in all<br />

instances be well documented, including first time episodes.<br />

More than any other group of adolescents, we have a compelling reason for<br />

athletes not to drink, health and performance. Alcohol, a metabolic poison has<br />

only negative effects on all physiological parameters. This can be our initial<br />

rationale for non-use.<br />

The following are some of the additional benefits for student-athletes who<br />

choose not to drink alcohol:<br />

Academic or athletic performance will not be hampered;<br />

The risk of breaking school rules or the law is greatly reduced;<br />

Serious and life threatening problems related to being alcohol impaired<br />

such as drunk driving and sexual decision- making, injury, arrest,<br />

death are eliminated or reduced;<br />

There is no risk of becoming addicted to alcohol; and,<br />

The ability to develop appropriate life skills such as stress management,<br />

problem solving, conflict resolution, interacting with others, and goal setting<br />

is enhanced.<br />

Most young people would only be influenced by the first two benefits, as<br />

they are more tangible and more immediate. The latter three fall into the category<br />

of ―not me.‖<br />

North Central Public Health Banquet<br />

(Continued from page 7)<br />

John concluded with the thought that high school sports do matter! High<br />

school athletics are an integral part of many communities throughout the<br />

United States. The local sports teams are the focal point of community life: it’s<br />

a source of pride, a spot for social gathering, and where initial perception of a<br />

community begins; because of this performance matters; the performance of<br />

the athletes as well as their behavior. The choice by student-athletes to use<br />

drugs greatly affects both of these domains. The athletes are usually the leaders<br />

in the school and the way the athletes go the school goes.<br />

The 2011 recipient of the ―Dr. Richard Raymond Public Health Champion<br />

Award‖ was awarded to Kate Kunz, with the SAFE KIDS Chapter of North<br />

Central <strong>Nebraska</strong>.<br />

Kate represents the definition of a public health champion through her<br />

work of keeping children<br />

safe. She was active in<br />

bringing a SAFE KIDS<br />

Chapter to north-central<br />

<strong>Nebraska</strong> and remains<br />

strong in her coordination of<br />

the chapter for the people<br />

in Boyd, Holt and Rock<br />

Counties. Through her<br />

work and leadership, Kate<br />

brings greater awareness in<br />

keeping children safe by<br />

bringing local community<br />

partners together, including<br />

the medical community,<br />

community action agencies,<br />

law enforcement, schools, the health department and many, many of our local<br />

businesses. She coordinates the annual SAFE KIDS Health Fair that hundreds<br />

of children participate in.<br />

Kate is one of few instructors for the State of <strong>Nebraska</strong> Child Passenger<br />

Safety Program and has been influential in the certification process of child<br />

passenger safety technicians from around our State. Kate coordinates a<br />

monthly SAFE KIDS Child Passenger Inspection Station in the community of<br />

O’Neill. Car Seat Check events are<br />

held once a year in the communities<br />

of: Atkinson, Bassett, Burwell,<br />

Spencer and Valentine. Her compassion<br />

and professionalism encourage<br />

parents of young children to rest assured<br />

of their knowledge and skills in<br />

transporting their children safely in a<br />

motor vehicle.<br />

Congratulations and thank you Kate,<br />

for all that you do in safety and prevention<br />

for the health of the public.<br />

<strong>Stuart</strong> Lady Broncos vs Niobrara-Verdigre<br />

The <strong>Stuart</strong> Lady Broncos opened their season at home against the Cougars of<br />

Niobrara-Verdigre. The opening quarter saw a combination of rust and 1 st game<br />

jitters. The Lady Cougar press created problems for the offense, and gave the visitors<br />

some easy baskets. At the end of the 1 st quarter, the score was 17-5 Cougars.<br />

In the 2 nd Quarter the Lady Bronco defense finally found their legs and held the<br />

Cougars to 4 points while scoring 9 of their own. At one point the girls had cut the<br />

deficit to 3 points. At halftime, the score was 21-14 Cougars.<br />

The second half was a see-saw battle as the Lady Broncos twice cut the deficit<br />

to 2 points, but could not solve their poor shooting. Monica Vogel made a driving 3point<br />

play and Brittany Hanzlik added a 4-point play in the final 2 minutes of the<br />

game, but at the buzzer the Lady Broncos fell by a final of 47-40.<br />

Our next game is Friday December 9 th , at Taylor, NE against the Twin Loup<br />

Wolves.<br />

In the Junior Varsity game, the young Lady<br />

Broncos saw their first action of the year. Throughout<br />

the course of the 3-quarter game, the Lady<br />

Cougars were able to pressure the Broncos into<br />

making several mistakes. Combine that with the<br />

jitters of playing in the first game of the year, and<br />

our failure to make some shots in close, the more<br />

experienced Cougars were able to build a small<br />

lead and come away with a 28-19 victory.<br />

Lady Broncos Compete at Spartan Shootout<br />

Nine JV Lady Bronco basketball players motored to Spencer on Saturday,<br />

December 3 rd to participate in the Spartan Shootout. In the first round game,<br />

the Lady Broncos were matched up against the Lady Spartans of West Boyd.<br />

The first half of this game was low scoring as both teams were a little nervous.<br />

The Lady Broncos had good looks at the basket but we were only able to<br />

get three shots, 1 three pointer and two 2 pointers, to fall through the hoop to<br />

make the halftime score: Lady Broncos 7 Lady Spartans 8<br />

The offense in the second half did not get any better for the young cagers<br />

as we were only able to score a total of 8 points. The Lady Spartan were able<br />

to take advantage of our turnovers and put 23 points on the scoreboard to<br />

make the final score: Lady Broncos 15 Lady Spartans 31.<br />

I felt we were not comfortable with our offense and or our defense as we<br />

found ourselves out of position and out of rotation. We changed our offense<br />

and our defensive rotation before the second game, which proved to be a better<br />

fit for our players.<br />

In the second game, we battled the Chamber/Wheeler Central Lady Renegades.<br />

The first quarter ended in a tie score with 7 points a piece. In the second<br />

quarter, the Lady Broncos put an additional 14 points on the scoreboard<br />

as our outside and inside game was working well.<br />

Third quarter was not a good quarter for the Lady Broncos as we could<br />

only muster 3 points. Turnovers and foul trouble plagued the girls in this quarter,<br />

which allowed the Lady Renegades to score 14 points to make the score at<br />

the end of the third quarter: Lady<br />

Broncos 24 Lady Renegades 29<br />

In the fourth quarter, the Lady<br />

Broncos battled back to tie the score<br />

and then it was a back and forth ballgame<br />

until the buzzer. The score was<br />

tied at 34 and the Lady Renegades<br />

had control of the ball with less than a<br />

minute to play. The Lady Bronco’s<br />

defense denied their opponent from<br />

taking the shot they wanted, so the<br />

Lady Renegades kicked the ball to the<br />

outside and they made a 3 point basket<br />

with 12 seconds left in the game.<br />

10<br />

Mitchell. He played out in the dining<br />

room while we had lunch. Then at 2:30<br />

we had Ice Cream Thursday with<br />

Frank Murphy.<br />

On Friday, December 2nd, Mass<br />

was held at 10:00 with Fr. Luke. Then<br />

at 11:00 we had kitchen crew where<br />

we peeled cucumbers and potatoes.<br />

Then at 4:30 we had balloons.<br />

On Saturday, December 3 rd , we<br />

had Coffee Klache and then at 2:00<br />

we had our Memorial Service and<br />

Open House. We enjoyed punch,<br />

sandwiches, little cheesecakes and<br />

cakes and other goodies at the Open<br />

House.<br />

Spartan Shootout—(Continued from page 10)<br />

The Lady Broncos threw the ball in and came down the court as timeout was<br />

called with 5 seconds left. A three point play was drawn on the clipboard and<br />

we were able to get a 3 point shot off, but it went long. We were able to get<br />

the offensive rebound and put it back up for 2 points as the buzzer sounded<br />

making the final score: Lady Broncos 36 Lady Renegades 37.<br />

We played much better in this game on both sides of the ball. I was<br />

proud of how the girls were able to battle back in the fourth quarter to tie the<br />

game and to give themselves a chance to send the game into overtime. The<br />

downside of this game was our free-throw shooting as we missed all ten. We<br />

will need to work on our free-throw shooting at practice as we missed our 4<br />

free throws in the first game as well.<br />

The next JV game is this coming Friday as we will be traveling to Taylor<br />

to play the cooperative program of Taylor and Sargent, which is called Twin<br />

Loop. Come out and cheer on the Lady Broncos!!<br />

Boys Basketball<br />

Opens With Wins<br />

The boys basketball team at <strong>Stuart</strong><br />

got the season started with a pair of<br />

wins in JV and Varsity action on December<br />

1 st . The team was in action<br />

against the Cougars of Niobrara-<br />

Verdigre. In JV action, the team<br />

cruised to a 30-14 victory in three quarters<br />

of action. Mitchell Dvorak led the<br />

Broncos with 11 points.<br />

In the varsity game, the Broncos<br />

struggled to find their offensive rhythm,<br />

and consequentially, had to rely on their<br />

defense. Although it was not pretty at<br />

times, the team ended up with a 32-25<br />

victory. Ryan Larabee led the Broncos<br />

with 11 points. The next action for the<br />

team is on Friday, as the team travels<br />

to Taylor to take on Twin Loup. Complete<br />

stats from the two games are to<br />

Young Lady Broncos Capture<br />

Lady Bulldogs<br />

On December 5 th , the young Lady Broncos<br />

hosted the young Lady Bulldogs of Ainsworth.<br />

The first game of the nights was the 7 th grade<br />

game. We started this game a little slow, and<br />

we knew we had to change the pace of the<br />

game. We applied full court pressure, which<br />

proved to be a good move for the Lady Broncos,<br />

as we were able to force them to make bad<br />

passes and create more scoring opportunities for<br />

us. This was the first game we have pressed<br />

the ball with these 7 th graders and I liked what<br />

these young athletes could do on the court. At<br />

the end of the 1 st half, the Lady Broncos held a<br />

14 to 5 lead over the Lady Bulldogs.<br />

We backed off of the press during the second<br />

half and worked on half-court defense. We were<br />

still able to get turnovers to limit the number of<br />

shots the Lady Bulldogs were able to take in the<br />

third and fourth quarter. Harlee Fischer had the<br />

hot shooting hand as she made four 3-pointers in<br />

the game. The Lady Broncos tacked on 12 more<br />

points in the second half to make the final score:<br />

Lady Broncos 26 Lady Bulldogs 8. Scorers:<br />

Harlee Fischer – 18 points; Alison Stracke – 2<br />

points; Rachel Kaup – 6 points; and Bethany Alder<br />

– 1 point.<br />

In the second game, the Ainsworth 8 th graders<br />

were tall and they could run up and down the<br />

court very quickly The first quarter started out<br />

with the Lady Broncos applying full court pressure<br />

to take a 14 to 2 lead. The turnovers the full<br />

court press caused gave the Lady Broncos some<br />

easy baskets, but we also missed a lot of layups,<br />

otherwise the score would have had a larger difference.<br />

In the second quarter, we still applied full<br />

court pressure and threw in 13 more points to the<br />

Lady Bulldogs 5 points. Midway through the<br />

quarter, we backed off of the full court pressure<br />

and picked them up at half court. We were able<br />

to rotate some of the 7 th graders into the game to<br />

give our 8 th graders a much needed rest. The<br />

halftime score had the Lady Broncos in the lead<br />

by a score of 27 to 9.<br />

The third quarter was the highest scoring for<br />

the Lady Broncos as we tacked on 16 more<br />

points. We tried a different half court trap with<br />

the girls and we went to our 1-4 High offense as<br />

the Lady Bulldogs were playing us in a man defense.<br />

The Lady Broncos were able to extend<br />

their lead by 24 points at the end of the third<br />

quarter.<br />

In the fourth quarter, we were able rotate<br />

players in and out of the game. Our 7 th graders<br />

have not run the 8 th grade offense so these girls<br />

were learning as we were playing. The deficit<br />

was too much for the Lady Bulldogs to overcome<br />

Thank you to everyone for attending<br />

and patronizing the businesses<br />

of <strong>Stuart</strong>!<br />

and we won this game by a score of 52 to 25. Scorers: Monique<br />

points; Ashley Kramer – 4 points; Rachel Kaup – 2 points; Taylor<br />

Malone – 8 points; Caetlin Krysl – 5 points.<br />

We played aggressive and we hustled at all times. If the girls<br />

continue to be willing to play unselfish, play aggressive and keep<br />

attacking, great things will continue to happen for them. I am very<br />

proud of their efforts up to this point in their season. We will be<br />

playing on December 16 th at Lynch with game time set for 3:30 p.m.<br />

Good to the girls in their upcoming games!<br />
