“Where Do We Go From Here?”

Babbling Brook The time is upon us Thick and thin, 20 years, some advances, some retreats, and yet, Plainview does it again. The new Plainview Public Library will be opening soon, where’s our local hype-man ready to make sure everyone fully appreciates this moment. The same type of excitement happened when the fire department got a long-overdue upgrade to their building, the addition of a new public library has more to offer than a new place to store books and introduce people to computers (among the 100s of other things to do.) It invests in our local community – to a point that people won’t fully understand for another 70 years. Plainview has always lagged a bit, not in the inception of ideas or the thoughts and progression of those ideas, but in the action part. We’re viewed as progressive – I’ve heard my contemporaries always discuss that. We’re at the forefront of discussion, but we’re typically one of the last to get things rolling and finished. We certainly aren’t the first to have a brand new library in our offerings to the community. We weren’t the first to have new pool. People have been replacing sewer systems for a long time around us. Communities have revitalized their downtown a clear 10 years before we attempted a few years ago. Even our water tower is now around 20 years old. Everything has its cycle – Plainview just happens to be on the outerlower circle of the that cycle, right before the rubber hits the pavement again, we make it out. I’m, at times, an “I told you so” type of guy – and I firmly believe that thinking positively and cleanly airing negativity, being harsh and open with criticism and discussing things thoroughly are the only ways to make sure that the right thing is being done. Two sides of an argument are necessary – not only for the determination of the “right” side, but also to make sure that you’re not missing out on any points that could affect the outcome. There’s really no point in discussing things if the only information given are “pros” or “cons” alone. Sometimes that’s a terrible process - it can ruin people’s ability to talk with one another. There’s always some part of us that determines if someone is on the “wrong” side of a conversation, it means they don’t support what’s going on or what decisions are being made. I found myself on that side of the Library conversation a few times, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t support it. Of all the people in Plainview, I like paper. I like books. I like reading. I don’t think our civilization can survive without the written word, literature in general and the historical preservation of our very society. I was just discussing this topic with someone a few days ago - in another 20 years, how many of us will be able to reproduce or even find our photos? We run the risk with digital photography of having an entire generation of pictoral history eliminated. Twenty years from now, there will be no flea markets with stacks of pictures. There will be no paper copies of pictures of “old Plainview” and there will be few and far between prints of baby pictures, graduation pictures and the like. We don’t have Harold Maucks any more storing up thousands of pictures to record history just for the sake of enjoying people. What we do have, however, is brand-spanking new library - good for all ages, and put together by a bunch of people devoting nigh and all 20 years of their lives to the betterment of Plainview. It adds not only a structure and a service, but it greatly increases the very value of our community, making it one step harder to lose, to move away from or to outlive and out-do.

By: Michael Holton City Administrator

Community building is a nonstop activity and it is hard to rest on your laurels after any one success. Plainview has many fingers into many pots and these are all part of concentrated efforts throughout the past few years. There is no time for rest. We have been a part of a new resurgence and growth in addressing many of the needs that Plainview has. Just during the past 15 years we have seen a tremendous amount of change in the community with several projects that were needed. The economy has hit the private sector pretty hard and we have lost businesses but we have also gained others. This is inevitable. The latest project that will come to fruition is the new Plainview Library. This project was a labor of love on the behalf of many citizens over the last fifteen years. On May 2nd, the new library will become a reality. The same can be said for the economic development of the community.

It was during this period of time that we were able to guide and develop Husker Ag to locate their operation of ethanol production east of Plainview. There were a lot of people who put a lot of work into getting that business to come here. There were several surveys and needs assessments that were also put out to the community and a new economic development program for the city was one of the results of those surveys. The first item on the list of economic development projects was to work with a retailer like Family Dollar to get them to come to Plainview. After months of negotiations with the corporate office, Roger Synovec and I were able to secure the land and a store to come to the community. The economic arm of the city also reached out to help form the Pierce County Economic Development Corporation (PCEDC) with Osmond, Pierce and Hadar to work on a regional level and that included several cooperative efforts like Central Valley Ag (CVA) which located a base of operations in Pierce County on Highway #81 as well as several other businesses in all of the communities. Another effort that came out of the economic development efforts was the introduction of the LB840 plan which

guides many of the latest efforts including Powerlift which is now in the old SiDump’r building. There is also the signage program which has helped existing businesses like Johnson Repair, Serendipity, Plainview Commodities, Northern Nebraska Insurance get new signage dollars to help increase their visibility. The school has also been active in several renovation efforts with the most recent being the new flooring in the old gym. Other changes in the community include the new parish hall for St. Paul’s Catholic Church, Mike McManaman’s building, Midwest Bank, Subway, CHI Home Health moving into downtown, a complete downtown historic renovation project, a new fire hall with the city and the rural fire department combining, twelve houses and buildings being torn down, new electronic sign next to the library, new swimming pool, renovated running track at the school, new scoreboards for the football fields, baseball fields, new residential homes, over a dozen existing homes rehabilitated through grants, new restaurant facilities in Serendipity and Baileyz, Casey’s expansion, new child care facility for Zion Lutheran that is open to the public, Jazzercise, new city offices in the old

fire hall, new cell phone towers, technology center for the Plainview Telephone Company, all new fiber optic for the entire community, D&M Dairy, Madison County Bank, renovation of the Band Shell in the park, Senior Center renovation to become the Plainview Social Center, Frisbee golf course, announcer booth for the Legion Ball fields, expansion of the Klown Doll Museum, renovation of the Historical Museum, new signs donated and upgraded for the east and west entrances to the community, white picket fence on the Memorial Cemetery replacing the old wire fence, new flowering berm in Chilver’s Park, new building in the park for equipment needs, and others that I am sure I missed. To top this all off, we were also a site selection for the six-time academy award nominated movie “Nebraska.” So what is next? It appears that we are in line for a new restaurant, new playground equipment for the city parks, housing expansion, and new businesses wanting to come to our town. So, as you can see, there is no time for rest and all of us need to work towards the future of Plainview so that we can all be proud of the community we call home.

Help with LB959 passes to slow Library increase in property taxes moving day By Seth Olson, Nebraska News Service

LINCOLN—On the third to last day of the session Tuesday, April 12, senators wasted no time by working through multiple bills. While many bills passed, a bill to bring back Nebraska’s winner-takeall system distributing presidential electoral votes failed, after senators rejected a cloture motion on LB10. The bill, which would award all five electoral votes to the winner of the state’s popular vote, was introduced by Sen. Beau McCoy of Omaha. Currently, two Electoral College votes are awarded to the state’s popular vote winner while the state’s three congressional districts are each awarded one electoral vote. The cloture motion offered by McCoy to cease further debate on the bill and take an immediate vote failed, 32-17. It was only one vote short of the 33 required to take a vote on the bill. Other bills saw more success. LB960, introduced by Sen. Jim Smith of Papillion, passed on a 480 vote. It will create a $450 million transportation infrastructure bank to fund new roads and bridges, including the state’s expressway system. The money will first come in July from a one-time transfer of $50 mil-

lion from the state’s cash reserve fund while the rest will be collected from state motor fuel tax from 2016 through 2033. LB959, introduced by Sen. Kate Sullivan of Cedar Rapids, passed 47-0 and is intended to slow the increase in property taxes. It adjusts the state’s school aid formula by eliminating the minimum levy adjustment at the end of the 2016-17 school fiscal year. It reduces state aid for schools with a levy below $0.95 per $100 valuation. It will limit the amount school districts across the state can levy to pay for projects relating to life safety, environmental hazards, accessibility barriers and mold in school buildings or school grounds. New projects will be funded under a three cent levy, which may not be used for construction projects. Another bill, LB1038, also passed with ease on a 48-0 vote. Introduced by Sen. Al Davis of Hyannis, the bill will allow water currently being used for generating hydropower to be used to maintain stream flow for fish, wildlife and recreation. A task force will be given $1 million a year to remove invasive plant species that reduce stream flows. Next Wednesday, April 20, is the final day of the Legislative session. ###

Top schools attend Plainview Invite By: Larry Knaak Head Coach

Four of the top C and D schools were in attendance at the Plainview Invitational Golf meet on April 16th. There was a total of five strokes separating the top four teams with Creighton taking the championship with 336. West Holt and Randolph tried for second at 339. Stanton came in fourth with 341 despite having Brook Klinetobe as the gold medalist with a score of 73. Chase Largen with 75, Mason Hale with 76, and Andrew Schnoor with 78 were the top four medalists. Plainview had their low team score for the year with 398. Tyler Masat let the Pirates as he was one stroke out of medaling with a 92. Masat opened with a 45 that is his best round of the year. A lost ball kept him from a much lower score Masat played bogie golf with the exception of two holes on his back nine. Jake Lingenfelter got off to a rough start and never was in rhythm to open with a 51. This was Lingenfelter’s first time playing in the number one position. After two double bogies to start the back nine, Lingenfelter finished with 46. Alex Haase shot 50 on the front and then set a personal best 9-hole score of 47 on the back to give him a personal best of 97 for an 18-hole score. Haase continues to play better each time out. Kenny Hart ended the team scoring with a 112. Hart played good golf except for a stretch of 5 holes that accounted for 40 strokes of his total score. When Hart learns not to try to make up for a bad shot with a super shot he can avoid this type of a stretch. Nathan Choat’s score of 132 was not used. Choat is continuing to find a rhythm in his swing that he can trust. Jason Gutz, being released from rehab played his first competitive round of golf. Gutz shot a respective round on the front of 63. His back nine had four holes that were respectable but Gutz having never played 18 holes before tired out to finish at 76. “The Pirates continue to slowly improve and with a few exceptions, I was satisfied with the progress being made.

team has work to do to overtake some of the higher placing teams.” The Pirates are to play Norfolk Catholic on the 18th, weather permitting. At Leigh, April 13 The Plainview golf team traveled to Leigh on April 13th for the Patriot Invite. Even though the Pirates finished eighth, there were several good things that happened. The Pirates were short-handed as Tyler Masat was unable to attend because of sickness. With Jake Lingenfelter having a front nine score of 38 to lead the field for the first round, the Pirates set a new low nine-hole team score of 210. Lingenfelter was helped by Alex Haase with a career low nine-hole score of 49 and Kenny Hart with 54. Nathan Choat struggled as the lack of playing time caught up to him as he had 69. On the back nine, Lingenfelter started out poorly and with a triple bogie shot 44. This allowed Lingenfelter to tie for third in the tournament. Haase continued his good play on the back nine as only a score of seven on a hole left him with a 50. Haase’s score of 99 gave him a personal best for a 9-hole and 18-hole score. Kenny Hart set a personal best nine-hole score on the back as he shot 52. This also set a career 18-hole score of 106. Nathan Choat continued to struggle on the back nine. Even though his score of 67 does not seem like it, he played much better as he ended his round. Triangular, April 12 Plainview hosted a triangular golf meet between Plainview, NiobraraVerdigre, and Clearwater-Orchard on Tuesday, April 12th. Although Ryan Wilhelm of Clearwater-Orchard was the medalist,

Plainview won 222 as Clearwater-Orchard had 229 and Niobrara-Verdigre had 259. Tyler Masat with a second place finish of 50 led the Plainview team. Masat played fairly steady golf with the exception of two middle holes. Masat was able to shake off his frustration to end on a good note except for an out-of-bounds. Jake Lingenfelter started off his round 10 over after three holes but settled down to finish with 52. Kenny Hart was able to overcome a double-digit hole and shoot his low round of the year of 57. Hart is learning better course management on his way to improvement. Nathan Choat ended the team scoring with 63. Choat has been busy with many activities and has been unable to do a lot of practicing. Choat was able to shake off the rust after 3 holes and play some good golf. Alex Haase’s 66 was not used in the team scoring. Haase is another member of the team who has to learn to get a better start. Haase has done well despite the fact that he had never played much golf before. Since all teams had several beginners on their teams, a reserve meet was held. The reserves played from the gold tees. Niobrara-Verdigre won with 260. Clearwater-Orchard had 268 and Plainview did not have a full team for an overall score, though Wes Vaughn was silver medalist with a 63. Chris Camey of Niobrara-Verdigre was medalist with 53. Brady Scott with 77 and Troy Donner with 82 completed the scoring. Both Scott and Donner had missed three days of practice because of attending the FFA convention. All three of these are in their first competitive action and have had to learn many aspects of the action.
