A new science curriculum forkindergarten through 12th gradeswas approved by the Nebraska CityPublic Schools School Board May11. During the board's monthly meet-

ing, NCPS Director of Assessmentand Curriculum School Improve-ment Teresa Frields discussed thedetails of the new curriculum withboard members. Frields said it has been over a

decade since the school district hadadopted a complete kindergartenthrough 12th-grade science curricu-lum."In the curriculum cycle, we would

have ordinarily adopted prior (afterseven years), but circumstances thatincluded new state standards in2010, changes in course offeringsand previous reading and mathadoptions taking longer to imple-ment fully led the district to holdoff with the total K-12 adoption,"she said. "Some classes have updatedbooks within that time frame, butoverall it was time to pursue newmaterials." Frields, who is also the curricu-

lum's facilitator, said the curriculumwill include elements of life, physical,earth and space sciences, and scienceand technology and the history andnature of science. "When we look at new texts, we

want to look at programs that fitour system of delivering instruction,and as well as push us to move for-ward," she said. "The programs wereviewed did a good job of addressingthe increase in science inquiry, hadexcellent alignment to the state stan-dards and also provided a technologycomponent that we didn't have pre-viously."Frields said one of the benefits of

the new curriculum is that all ofthe teachers will get new sciencekits."We've been piecemealing for years

and years and years," she said. "Ourold kits were at bare bones withteachers attempting to supplementall the time." Another benefit will be the online

interaction for teachers and stu-dents.

Twosome step up to challengeSandy [email protected]

Xander Monson and LexisBruns-Morris have been friendsand dance partners for a longtime. The two fourth gradersat Lourdes Central Catholic El-ementary School began takingdance classes together at DanceWorks in Nebraska City whenthey were three years old. Nowthey both take dance classes atMadonna ProActive in Lincoln,and Lexis also takes classes inNebraska City.The twosome have taken tap

dance, ballet, hip-hop, and Irishstep classes, and Lexis is takinga modern dance class. Bothsay they want to take ballroomdancing classes but they arestill too young. Bruns-Morris

says she has always wanted todance, and Monson's older sis-ter took dance classes so he justfollowed in her footsteps. Mon-son was really hooked, though,when he saw "Singin' in theRain" starring Gene Kelly forthe first time at five years old.Monson's mother, Cindy

Monson, saw an ad for a "5-4-3-2-1 Go! Dance Challenge" inthe Nebraska City News-Press,and then again in the LourdesPTO news and thought it mightbe something the two childrenwould enjoy. The "5-4-3-2-1 Go! Dance

Challenge" was issued by theGo Nebraska Kids organization,and intended to be a fun wayto spread the word about theirmission.Go Nebraska Kids encourages

kids to eat right, including eat-ing five servings of fruit andvegetables, three servings oflow-fat dairy, and four servingsof water. They also want themto spend two hours or less infront of the screen, and at leastone hour per day being physi-cally active.Students from Sarpy, Cass,

Colfax, Douglas and Otoe coun-ties were asked to send in videosthey had choreographed to theprogram's "Let's Go" jingle. 13entries were chosen as finalists,with one grand prize winner,Saint Margaret Mary School ofDouglas County, which received$1,000. The four most popularvideos from the counties eachearned a $500 prize.

It is not uncommon formany to commemorateholidays and not knowhow the holiday cameabout. With Memorial Day ap-

proaching, many see thisas a day to remember thosethat have passed beforeus, while others see it asthe official beginning ofsummer. The Nebraska City His-

torical Society and the CivilWar Veterans Museum areusing the day as an op-portunity to teach aboutthe holiday’s origins.Originally known as

“Decoration Day”, the firstMemorial Day was heldon May 30, 1868. It was created General

John Logan, national com-mander of the GrandArmy of the Republic. TheG.A.R. was the Civil WarUnion Veterans organiza-tion and forerunner of theAmerican Legion He designated the day

for the purpose of “strew-ing with flowers, or oth-erwise decorating thegraves of comrades whodied in defense of theircountry during the late re-bellion, and whose bodiesnow lie in almost everycity, village and hamletchurchyard in the land”. The date was chosen be-

cause it wasn’t the anniver-sary of any particular Civil

War battle. New York became the

first state to officially rec-ognize the holiday in 1873.By 1890, all northern stateshad adopted the holiday. However, it was not cel-

ebrated by the southernstates which chose indi-vidual dates to honor theirConfederate dead. After WWI, the holiday

was extended to commem-orate the dead from allAmerican wars and tookon the title of “MemorialDay”. It was not until 1971,

that the day became a na-tional holiday. By thistime, the day was also usedto commemorate the pass-ing of all friends and familymembers, not just the wardead.This Memorial Day, the

Nebraska City Historical

Society and the Civil WarVeterans Museum invitethe public to attend a spe-cial event to better under-stand the origins of theholiday. On Monday, May 25,

the film “Gettysburg; theLast Reunion” will beshown at the Civil WarVeterans Museum. This 1930’s era film

shows a reunion of the lastparticipants of the Battleof Gettysburg, Union andConfederate, meeting forthe last time on the actualsite of the battle. There will be a social

time beginning at 7 p.m.,followed by the film show-ing at 7:30 p.m. The pro-gram is free to the public.This is a great opportunityto see the Civil War Vet-erans Museum and gain abetter understanding ofthe original meaning ofMemorial Day.

It’s been a busy week inthe Unicameral. The Legislature over-

rode the Governor’s veto ofthe gas tax with no votes tospare. Consequently, the gas

tax will increase by sixcents over a four-year pe-riod beginning in Janu-ary. We discussed LB 586,

which would prohibit dis-crimination based uponsexual orientation andgender identity, for sever-al hours before it waspulled from the agenda atthe sponsor’s request. The Legislature gave

first-round approval to LB623, which authorizes dri-ver’s licenses for certainchildren of undocumentedimmigrants, and to LB643, the bill allowing med-ical marijuana. We gave second-round

approval to the prison re-form bills, which took onmore significance after theincident at Tecumseh StateCorrectional Institution(TSCI). The budget bills were

given final approval thispast week by the Legisla-ture. The Governor now has

the ability to line-item vetospecific appropriationsfrom these bills, afterwhich the AppropriationsCommittee will meet todecide which vetoes, if any,to recommend be overrid-den. LB 623 would make in-

dividuals who can demon-strate lawful status for aperiod of time by the fed-eral government under theDeferred Action for Child-hood Arrivals (DACA) pro-gram eligible for driver's li-censes. Nebraska is the only

state that denies driver’s li-censes to these childrenthat have been given legalprotection by the Presi-dent. Nebraska’s policy deny-

ing the licenses was put inplace by former GovernorDave Heineman. A similar law in Arizona

was ruled unconstitution-al last year and a lawsuit iscurrently pending in Ne-braska. After eight hours of de-

bate and a successful clo-ture motion, LB 623 wasadvanced on a 37-8-4 vote.LB 643, the Medical

Cannabis Act, was amend-ed by Judiciary Committeeamendments prior to ad-vancing from the first stageof debate on a 27-12-10vote. The committee amend-

ments are fashioned aftera similar law adopted inMinnesota, which is seenas one of the strictest lawsamong the 23 states thatallow for medical mari-juana. The Department of

Health and Human Serv-ices Division of PublicHealth would create a reg-istry of patients that wouldbe permitted to obtainmedical cannabis, if diag-nosed with a qualifyingmedical condition by a

health care practitioner. The qualifying medical

conditions listed in the billinclude cancer, HIV,seizures, multiple sclerosis,and terminal illness. Severe or chronic pain

does not qualify on its own,but must be associatedwith one of the listed con-ditions. Medical marijuana

could be used as a liquid oroil, as a pill, or in a vapor-ized form of the liquid oroil. Smoking of marijuanawould not be permittedunder LB 643.

TTeeccuummsseehh SSttaattee CCoorrrreeccttiioonnaall FFaacciilliittyyI am concerned for the

staff at TSCI. I was aware of the use of

mandatory overtime at theinstitution prior to the in-cident last week. Mandatory overtime can

lead to safety issues, aswell as job discontent. High turnover in staff

results in less experiencedemployees. The newly appointed di-

rector of the Departmentof Corrections has indi-cated that he will conducta study on staffing thissummer and I have askedto be kept updated.I am also concerned

with the costs from theTSCI incident that will fallon Johnson County dueto the death of two in-mates and the charges thatwill be filed on other in-mates. I introduced a bill earli-

er this year to transfer thefinancial responsibility forthe costs of an autopsy,grand jury payments andwitness compensationfrom the counties to theState of Nebraska whenan incarcerated inmatedies while serving a sen-tence in a state correc-tional institution. Although the bill ad-

vanced from the Govern-ment, Military and Veter-ans Affairs Committee, ithas stalled on General File. I am hopeful that some-

thing can be done to helpthe county with these“state” expenses.

During the last twoweeks of this legislativesession, I still encourageyour input. I can bereached at District #1, P.O.Box 94604, State Capitol,Lincoln, NE 68509. Myemail address is [email protected] and mytelephone number is (402)471-2733.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

You call yourself His-panic, where are yoursombrero and poncho?That was just about the

only question Bloomberg’sMark Halperin left out ofhis interview with SenatorTed Cruz (R-Texas) re-cently.The only thing he didn’t

do was tell Cruz, he hadsome “splaining to do.”It was one of the least

impressive, most defini-tive interviews you couldever see during the earlystages of a presidentialprimary season.Cruz is a Cuban from

Canada who representsTexas in the Senate.His cultural heritage is

obviously mixed due tohis European mother andCuban father’s positionswith oil companies thattook his family up anddown North America.Cruz is not “Hispanic”

as stereotypes are wantto portray them. He is notfrom a family of illegalimmigrants who workedon a farm. He didn’t overcome eco-

nomic hardship to make iton his own. Cruz’s fatherleft Cuba to attend theUniversity of Texas. His mother graduated

from Rice University inHouston. They worked in

the oil industry and didwell.Cruz went to high

school in Texas, but hiscollege years were spent atPrinceton and then Har-vard Law School.Somehow, to Halperin,

that seemed to mean Cruzwasn’t a “real Hispanic.”So in an interview that

led Halperin to issueapologies, he gave the2016 presidential candi-date a Hispanic litmustest full of questions thatwere intended to makethe reporter famous forbeing the one who dis-proved the candidate’sethnic authenticity.Halperin wanted to be

to Ted Cruz what KatieCouric was to Sarah Palin.It had nothing to do withjournalism and everything

to do with political biasand remaining a mediacelebrity.Halperin’s fame comes

from getting caught send-ing memos to other jour-nalists telling them how toproperly enact a liberalbias in their news cover-age of the 2004 Presiden-tial election.He has used his posi-

tions to create mini-his-tories of recent presiden-tial campaigns, most fa-mously with his book“Game Change” after the2008 election. Not sur-prisingly, Halperin casthimself in a cameo in thefilm HBO made based onthe book.He is far more celebri-

tant than journalist.Halperin is known for

pushing the boundariesof both credibility and de-cency as he was also sus-pended from the air atMSNBC after using aderogatory slur to describeBarack Obama during apress conference in 2011.After his interview with

Cruz where he questionedCruz on important na-tional matters such as hisfavorite Cuban music, fa-vorite Cuban food and of-fered to let him welcomeBernie Sanders into therace “en espanol.”

Halperin was forced to is-sue an apology.“My intent was to give

the Senator a chance tospeak further about hisheritage and personal con-nections to the communi-ty through some casualquestions,” Halperin said.“I rushed through thequestions, and that was amistake—it led to poortone and timing.”Halperin went on to say

in his statement that heunderstood why some feltthe questions were inap-propriate. I don’t thinkhe does. Tone and timingwere the least of his issues.Despite pressing Cruz

on food, music, languageand every other stereo-typical “marker” for His-panic ethnicity, Halperinsays that was not his in-tent.“In no way was I asking

Senator Cruz to “prove” hewas an “authentic” Lati-no,” Halperin said. “I apol-ogize to those that were of-fended, and to SenatorCruz. I promise that I willwork to make the tone andquestions better next time.”Fortunately for

Halperin, Cruz took thehigh road and said anapology was unnecessary.I would say it was neces-sary but inadequate.There is no room for

that type of belittlingquestioning in the politi-cal arena.

We’ve taken the powercompany up on free ener-gy audits for two differentplaces we’ve lived in, andit’s paid off. At one they put this fan

on the door to find everyair leak. At another they used

an infrared camera toshow the cold air infil-trating into our house. The truth hurt, but we

knew where to find theleaks, and were empow-ered to work at solutions.Your body is a spiritual

house. Be good to yourselfby letting the Holy Spirit

take his camera into everypart of your life to find theleaks. When you invite him

to shine his light in allthe places of your heart, hebrings healing andrestoration so you can liveto the fullest.Start by praying, “God,

are my eyes truly seeingyour will and way, andare my ears hearing yourvoice? Or, am I listeningto the world, the enemy ofmy soul, and my flesh toomuch?” Fourteen times in scrip-

ture it says, “They haveeyes but do not see; theyhave ears but do not hear.”That’s because the soil of

your heart is made of twoventricles, eyes that seeand ears that hear. Then, ask God if your

mind is expending energyon the wrong thoughts,and if it’s being renewedcorrectly. Thinking too much

about what others thinkabout you and passivelyletting bad thoughtscrock-pot/teabag/stew inyour brain are the bigdrainers (Romans 12:1-2and Colossians 3). Journal what God

shows you and use that asa punch-list that God, you,and “safe” Christianfriends (Every Christian issaved, but that doesn’tmean they’re “safe” to con-fide in) can prayerfullywalk with you through.

ASK AMY

Time to stop visiting granny?DEAR AMY: My mother

didn’t like having kids. She never enjoyed us when we were growing up, and she’s similar in her attitude toward her grandchildren.

I once asked her why she had my brother and me so young, and she said, “It’s just what everyone did at that time.” I’ve been willing to move past this in the hope of having a strong grandparent relationship between her and my children, but she is not interested.

I find that being around her, especially with my children pres-ent, conjures up the unhappiness I recall from my childhood.

Her own childhood was tough. Her dad was an alcoholic. She laughs at the idea of counseling.

At this stage in my busy life, I’m inclined to stop trying to spend time with her and retreat to only sharing holidays.

I am at peace with the knowl-edge that in her early 70s, her time could be limited. I feel terri-ble, but is this OK? — Wondering

DaughterDEAR WONDERING: If you

feel terrible, you should adjust your behavior so you don’t feel so terrible. Maybe do a little more than two holidays a year, but a little less than the forced march of your regular duty visits.

Everything WILL be OK, as long as you recognize your mother’s deficits as a parent and continue to move through your disappointment. When you truly understand that your mother did what SHE knew how to do, you will be free of your own anger.

Eventually, you will recognize the only triumph of this sad situation, which is that you are a loving parent. You changed course for your children. Coun-seling would be a huge plus — for you.

"Is this food safe, orshould I throw it out?" When in doubt, throw it

out! However, there are afew other guidelines thatcan help people know whenit is time to throw out food.Food can be classified

into three groups: staple,semi-perishable, and per-ishable. Staple foods likesugar, dried beans, spices,and canned goods do notspoil unless they are han-dled carelessly. However,they will lose their qualityif stored over a year. Semi-perishable foods in-

clude flour, grain products,and dried fruits. These canremain unspoiled for sixmonths to a year if properlystored and handled. Perishable foods, includ-

ing meat, poultry, fish, milk,eggs, and many raw fruitsand vegetables, need to bestored in refrigerators orfreezers and should be usedwithin several days. Allcooked foods also are con-sidered perishable foods.Although different foodshave different storageguidelines, a good standardis to throw leftovers awayafter four days.Consumers should pay

attention for obvious signsof spoilage. Milk and otherdairy products will have asour smell. Throw away allfoods that are moldy orslimy, even in just one spot. The one exception to this

is hard cheeses. If a blockof hard cheese has moldon it, cut off the mold andthe surrounding one inchof cheese. The rest of theblock will be edible.

Some foods, however, donot always have such obvi-ous signs of spoilage, andfoodborne microorganismsare impossible to detect.Pay attention to expirationdates, and do not eat foodsafter they have expired. When storing leftovers,

label them with the datethey were put in the refrig-erator or freezer. Fresh and cooked meat

should only be refrigeratedfor a few days and frozenat zero degrees Fahrenheitfor a few months. Fresh and cooked poultry

should be refrigerated foronly two days but can re-main frozen for six monthswhen cooked and up toeight months when raw. While there are guide-

lines for food storage time,several other factors willdetermine how long a food

will maintain quality andbe safe to eat. The storage life of food

is affected by its freshnesswhen it reached the store,the length of time and thetemperature at which it washeld before purchase, thetemperature and humidityof home storage areas andthe type of storage containeror packaging used.For more information, con-

tact the Nebraska Extensionin Otoe County Office at [email protected] or 402-269-2301.

DANCEFrom page 1

The Otoe County video named "Fred and Ginger"submitted by Bruns-Morris and Monson was oneof the four most popular videos. According to Monson's mother, the two children

had a tap dance routine they were learning in danceclass and the children modified it themselves to fitwith the jingle music. Monson said it only tooktwo tries to get the video done and laughed at thejazz hands and wiggle finale the two spontaneouslythrew in.The two young dancers showed a remarkably

mature comfort and trust in each other, and bothagreed they'd probably be dance partners for a longtime to come.Bruns-Morris and Monson's video, "Fred and

Ginger", can be seen online in the video gallery at:gonebraskakids.org, or family and friends can gosee them performing something a little different ina dance recital of "Cinderella" on May 30-31 inLincoln at Lincoln Southeast High School.

The Rohlfs/Horns family reunion will be 12:30p.m. the home of Arlin Rohlfs at 257 North 22ndRoad in Unadilla. This is a potluck. Meats will beprovided.

Health care is changing, and CHI Health promises to change it for the better. In fact, we started embracing new ways to keep you well more than 10 years ago. It’s called value-based care, the belief that prescribing a healthier lifestyle is better than prescribing a lot of pills. That’s why we’re building a network where doctors, clinics and hospitals work closely to organize your care for the best possible outcome. We’re doing what’s right for our patients: to mend what’s broken and restore your faith in health care.
