Village Reorganizesfor New Year

And the winner is...Jarret Buchholz draws a winning name for a plate of goodies during last Thursday night’s elementary Christmas program in the school gym, while other National

Honor Society members get ready to spin the raffle wheel for another winner. With all students in Grades K-12 involved in making treats such as “Reindeer Fodder”and “Christmas Crunch,” the 3rd annual Spirit of Christmas Food Drive Treat Raffle went really well this year, with $1,300.00 already raised before the concert began.Many tickets were sold prior to the event that weren’t included in the tally. “The raffle had everyone’s attention, hoping they would be the winner,” said one observer.“The kids would cheer when names were called.” One-hundred-percent of the money raised from the raffle went directly to Arnold’s food pantry. “We like the project.With all of the students being involved, they learn that some people are in need,” said NHS sponsor Debby Moninger. “It is remarkable that the small community canrally around a cause and have such a large impact on people in need,” said NHS member Leighton Bubak. Donations to the food pantry can be made all through theyear at Pinnacle Bank, or by directly donating items.

The Grinch and dog Maxcome to life at the RialtoThe Grinch made four appearances at the Rialto Theatre last weekend following showings of the 2018

release of “The Grinch” based on Dr. Seuss' beloved holiday classic. The Grinch, pictured here lettingexcited children pet his dog Max, and the movie, sponsored by Arnold Chamber, drew a great crowd ofover 200 kids and adults from in and out of town in its first weekend. The realistic Grinch character wasbrought to town by Clint and Debbie Connelly, and treats were provided by the Rialto. The movie will beshowing again at the Rialto this coming weekend.

I thoughtI heard Santa but it wasnot him. I was bummed. Ihad never caught Santa.Furthermore, Alexpushed me into snow oneChristmas when I was 5years old. I had thought Iwas drowning. It wasdark and cold outside. Ifelt as cold as a dog with-out hair in the snow.Moreover, one year Isnuck to see my presents.I was scared and thought,“Oh no, what if I gotcaught?” There were lotsof bright colors like red,green, and blue. I waseager to see my presents.I hoped my mom wouldnot see me. Clearly, aslong as I am alive, I willremember my specialChristmas memories.

Jaxsen and Iwent on the trampolinewith snow. Finally, myfamily got presents atChristmas. My presentwas a tablet. I was happyand screaming and cry-ing. I took pictures on mytablet and played games.It had a password on thetablet. Clearly, until I die,I will remember my won-derful Christmas memo-ries.

Christmas MemoriesMy Christmas memoriesare wonderful in manyways. First off, my familyhad a fire in our fireplace.We can smell smoke fromthe fire. The fires madeus cozy and warm. Thatmade us have very hotfaces. We all were gratefulfor the fire. The fire wasvery red. It glowed. Ourfamily was nice to eachother. In addition, I like tobuild with my brothers.We built tunnels andforts. My brothers and Ihave snowball fights. Ican hear loud cars driv-ing by our house. Outsideit smelled fresh. I restafter because I was verytired. Last, I like to deco-rate the tree. My familyhas a fake tree. It is very

heavy so we have momand dad carry it. We listento music when we are dec-orating. We dance to-gether. I cared for myfamily. We unbox orna-ments that bring backmany memories. Whenwe are done, the tree isbeautiful. We play aroundthe tree and have a lot offun. My mom puts thestar on top of the tree tomake it more beautifulthan before. Clearly, assoon as Christmas comesaround, I think of mywonderful Christmasmemiories.

My Christmas Memories

What Christmas memo-ries do I like the best? Ini-tially, I was checking cowsabout 1 o'clock A.M. Icouldn't see five feet infront of me because of thesnow. It was warm in thepickup and I could smellpickup exhaust. Therewas so much snow. Itlooked like a falling whitewall. I hoped the calvesweren't dead. My dad wastalking and I saw the treerow a tiny bit. Moreover,getting stepped on by acow, when I was on mysled is just one of myChristmas memories.Clay and I were hurt andmad at the cows thatstepped on us. Snow wasbrushing against my leg.Clay yelled, “Ow.” I wascold so I sucked on mycoat. Furthermore, it wasfun when I went sleddingand ramped. At first I wasmad at my bother Crewfor pushing me because I

went too fast. I got coldafter I landed in the snow.I was really eager to tellother people about that. Iheard everybody yellingawesome. It seemed like Iwas flying. Then, one ofmy memories was whenthere was a row of balesand on top of that therewas snow. I jumped on itand fell through. I wasitchy because of the hay.It was tight between thebales. In the beginningbecause of the crunchingsound I was creeped out.It was warm down there.I heard Paisley saying,“Where are you?” Clearly,after high school, I willstill remember thesespectacular memoriesfrom Christmas.

It smelled likesmoke because it was coldoutside. We were coldwhile we were building.Some of the snow got inmy mouth. It was excit-ing! Furthermore, one ofour best traditions iseverybody read andpassed around the Bible.We get to have blankets,because it is almost al-ways cold every year atgrandma's and papa's.Everybody is very quietwhen an adult starts toread the Bible. Some-times it is hard becausethe words are so small.There are lots and lots ofwords. Every time we doit, it's always dark. I feelwarm and joy inside.Clearly my favoriteChristmas memories arewonderful!

My Christmas Memories

When my family deco-rates for Christmas, I re-call the best Christmasmemories. First, we go tomidnight mass. When weget there it is really quiet.We listen to the priestwhile we are being quiet.Then we listen to thechoir. The people usuallyhave 5 songs but on mid-night mass we have 10songs. There are a lot ofpeople that sing with thechoir. The drums and theother instruments areplayed. Next, our familyhas a train around ourtree. Sometimes the trainhits a fallen ornamentand derails. My brother'strain carts fall if some-thing is sticking on thecart's wheels. Every yearwe put cameras on thetrain to make sure that ifit derails it will be caughton camera. My train isvery loud. Our family'smagic elf on the shelf tiedhimself to the track onenight. Karson's train andthe cole cart are bothblack. The box car is re-ally yellow. One oil car isas gray as a shirt. The ca-boose is red. Clearly, Ihave the best Christmasmemories.

The cookies weresweet, frosted and deli-cious. They were neat andorginized on the cookingsheet. I was hot andsweaty because the ovenwas so hot. I got comfy onthe couch and ate a Santacookie. Actually, althoughI have good memories ofmy childhood, my Christ-mas memories mean a lotto me.

By Aron Redinger********

My MemoriesI have more than a lif-time of wonderful Christ-mas memories. To begin,Tysen, Jaxon, Braxtonand I found snow forts be-side the community cen-ter. My friend and Iplayed a game of throw-ing snowballs at the zom-bies. We were going tobuild a tunnel but thesnow was packed in toomuch. All of us foundsome ice in puddles bythe snow fort. Moreover,my grandma and I set upa winter scene behind hercouch. The winter sceneis a yard wide. We made afrozen pond. The pondlooked like a clear win-dow. The pond is madeout of tin foil. Truly, myChristmas memories arewonderful.

By: Brody********

Christmas MemoriesI have a couple Christ-mas memories. To begin,my family went sleddingin our pasture. We wentsledding on a very steepand large hill. Makenna,Quinlee and I werescreaming louder than acreaky door because wewere excited to go sled-ding. My sisters and Iwent sledding on a sixfoot long sled, three peo-ple could fit. It was freez-ing outside. It was about30 F out there and therewas a blanket of snow.There was about 8 inches!Furthermore, every nightmy family would openone of our Days UntilChristmas count down ac-tivities. Our days untilChristmas count down isa gold picture frame withyarn and clothes pins.Mom would get stuffready and she wouldsometimes get the hotchocolate out. Everybodywould be excited! It wasvery, very loud in thehouse. My family wasthere to open the pocketswith me. Then momwould start to yell reallyloud at my younger sis-ters because they werefighting over the littlepockets. The pockets hadlittle notes. Let's just saythat one of the pocketssaid, “Drink hot choclatewith a candy cane in thehot choclate.” Then we

I have two favorite orna-ments. They're both bar-bie ornaments. I namedmy ornaments, one isnamed Annison and theother, Ally. Ally was givento me by my parents justlast year. Annison, I thinkwas given to me about 2years ago by my parents.Ally's dress is beautiful, itis sparkley red. Ally alsohas a big star behind her.Annison's dress is alsobeautiful, the top part ofthe dress is strapless andred with silver sparklesacross the top. The bot-tom part of her dress issilver with flowers en-graved into it and a redlacing over the top. Thereason I like these orna-ments is because I starteda singing group withthem and two other orna-ments. They will sing anew song every day in De-cember. It will end on the25th of December.

Josie Christensen********

My Favorite OrnamentMy favorite ornament isa little crib with a littlebaby in it. I made it whenI was in the lowest gradein Sunday school. It ismade of a pod from amilk weed. I like it be-cause it represents Jesuswhen he was born.

My Amazingmemories

All my Christmas mem-ories are 100 percentamazing. To begin with,gingerbread houses arereally messy with ourfamily. Also there's redgumballs on Morgan'sgingerbread house.There's Jolly RancherCandy Canes on the tableand Morgan's screamingbecause his house just fellover. Again we're alllaughing and having fun.The frosting smells assweet as honey. Some ofthe frosting tastes deli-cious. There's candy onthe floor and table. Fur-thermore, I love stayinghome and hanging outwith my family. We'dwatch funny Christmasmovies and cuddle up onthe couch. My family andI would always try stayingwarm and we would havelots of fun. Also, there'scookies in the kitchenand smashed popcorn, onthe couch and floor. Ourcat climbed into the treewhile dad yelled at her.Then mom got her downand now everybody ishappy. Clearly, as long asI am still alive, I will re-member all my amazingChristmas memories.

ran the floor, gainingmany points off of transi-tion layups.“Going into the game weknew that we had to be ontop of our game becausewe were missing our twobig guys, Drew and Grant.Our starting lineup waspretty short, Cole is 5’11and jumped for the tip atthe beginning of thegame. Since we were soshort we knew we had toget out and use our speedagainst them. We ad-vanced the ball as fast wecould and got a lot oflayups off of that. Oncethey started crashingdown on our drives to thehoop we kicked the ball

out and shot confidentlyas a team and knockeddown some outside shots.We played great defenseand that led to forcingturnovers and breakawaylayups,” said Jace Con-nell.Connell was the leadingscorer for the Bobcats,putting up 23 points, andsnatching 4 rebounds. Be-hind him was ColeGracey, who had 12points of his own. ConnorRosfeld and LeightonBubak were also big scor-ers in the game, with Ros-feld having 10 points andBubak having 9.Due to South Loup get-ting a big lead early in the

game, the whole benchreceived quality playingtime. Brett Halstead cameinto the game andknocked down two insideshots to add 4 points tothe board. He was also bigon the block, having 5total rebounds.The Bobcats’ nextmatchup was againstBrady at the HolidayTournament held inMaxwell on December 17.The Cats then played inthe second round of thetournament on the 18th.South Loup boys nowhave a record of 3-1.

CALLAWAY— On Decem-ber 11, the South LoupLady Bobcats took to theirhome court, where theyadded another victory totheir season. Defeatingthe SEM Mustangs 44-28,the Lady Cats broughttheir season to a win-lossrecord of 3-2.South Loup’s defense tostart the game off wasstellar, as the Cats heldthe Mustangs to just 7points in the first half.The Bobs performed wellin every aspect of thegame, as they secured 40total team rebounds inthe game, which included16 offensive rebounds.Hustling was also a key inthe match, as the Bobcatswere able to snatch 7steals.“I think we knew thatwe had to play good de-fense against Pleasantonand we did and I believe

it carried over into theSEM game. We knew weneeded to come outstrong and prove to every-one it wasn’t luck that webeat Pleasanton and wehad to play good againstSEM to do so,” com-mented Kalie Glendy, ajunior point guard.South Loup lost somespeed heading into thesecond half, but they stillmaintained enough dis-tance between them andSEM to secure the win.The Cats defense wasn’ttheir only strength on thenight, as they also playedvery well offensively.Glendy had an excellentgame as she brought in 10points, 5 rebounds, and 2steals against the Mus-tangs.The Bobs are only im-

proving their team chem-istry as the season goeson. Their next match-upwas against the Medicine-Valley Raiders at Curtison December 14.

ley’s 2-3 defense, we wereable to hit more outsideshots. The Raiders de-fense always shifted re-ally far over with themovement of the ball, sothe guards had a lot ofopen shots, especially ifwe threw a skip-pass,”said Bailey Schwarz.See next week’s paperfor the results of theMaxwell Holiday Tourna-ment.

son said, “You have totake a step back to go for-ward.” Even though theCats didn’t do as well asthey had hoped, theylearned lots and gainedexperience. “It was probably the

best I wrestled because ofthe coaches working us,and pushing us to get bet-ter. The competitionshowed us what we needto improve and gave us aglimpse of what we mightsee at districts,” saidsophomore Jesse Connell.The Cats will travel toBroken Bow on Friday,December 21st for theirlast meet before Christ-mas.

Senator Tom Brewer43rd District12-07-2018

The 1st session of the106th Legislature of Ne-braska begins in a month.Our constitution says theLegislature only has to dotwo things: It has to meeton the first Wednesdayafter the first Monday inJanuary (the 9th of Janu-ary this year), and it hasto pass a balanced budget.The first day of session weelect the speaker and allthe committee chairs andall 49 Senators are as-signed to committees. The “Committee onCommittees” figures outcommittee assignments.For a supposedly non-par-tisan legislature, theresure is a lot of partisanpolitics involved in thisprocess. It’s difficult butvery important work be-cause you live with theseassignments for twoyears. Some time ago I publiclyannounced my intentionto run for the Chair of theGovernment, Militaryand Veterans Affairs Com-mittee. I am humbled byhow much support I havereceived from my fellowsenators so far. The elec-tion of committee chairs

is the very first order ofbusiness on the first dayof the session, so we willknow by close of businesson the 9th of January if Iam elected.I am trying to changemy committee assign-ment from Banking,Commerce and Insuranceto the Education Commit-tee. How we pay for K-12public schools is an im-portant part of finding asolution to our propertytax crisis. Nebraska is49th in the nation interms of how muchmoney the legislature ap-propriates for schoolfunding. Forty-eightother states spend morethan we do and this hasled to a severe over-re-liance on property taxesto fund our schools. Property Tax relief con-tinues to be my top prior-ity. I think we have a slimchance to come togetherand get something passedthis session. To that end, Isee three keys to success:(1) We need to elect achairman of the RevenueCommittee who will getproperty tax bills votedout of that committee. (2)We need to get a lot ofbills voted out, and theyneed to be voted out earlyin the session. The more

Senators with a bill onthe floor, the more skinthere will be in the game.The more Senators whocan claim a little creditfor property tax relief, thebetter. (3) Most impor-tantly, the Speaker (Sen.Jim Scheer) needs to bere-elected and he needs tolead on this issue like hedid last session. Unfortu-nately this wasn’t able tohappen until very late inthe session, but he wascertainly very effective.His leadership early inthe session is an essentialcomponent to successwith this issue.I do believe this sessionis going to be very hard.There is going to be a bigfight over the budget thatmuch is clear. However,the collective personalityof this legislature is goingto be completely differentwith the 13 new senatorsin the mix. New or old Iknow every senator in thebody ran their campaignat least in part on solvingthe property tax crisis.Therefore I think it’s tooearly to be a pessimist. Ithink all 49 senatorsknow in their heart weneed to finally solve thisproblem. I hope we’re nottoo hard on each otherand we have enough good

Senator Brewer’s Update

Our nation’s natural re-sources have no betterfriend than farmers andranchers whose liveli-hood depends on them.From growing crops toraising livestock, theirlong term success is de-pendent upon sustain-able practices. This is whyPresident Obama’s op-pressive Clean WaterRule, also known as Wa-ters of the United States(WOTUS), was unwel-come and even offensiveto people throughout theMidwest.WOTUS sought togreatly increase the EPA’sauthority to regulate“ephemeral streams” -those which flow onlywhen it rains or snowmelts – by expanding thedefinition of navigablewaterways under theClean Water Act. How-ever, a vast array of legalscholars, state officials,and federal judges haveagreed this Obama-eraregulation is both outsidethe will of Congress anddownright unconstitu-tional.It’s not at all difficult to

imagine the ways inwhich an activist admin-istration might use theseexpanded powers to issuea litany of burdensomeand unnecessary regula-tions surrounding every-thing from irrigationditches to water puddles.As a result of the EPA’s ac-tions, I introduced a jointresolution to repealWOTUS under the Con-gressional Review Act(CRA), which allows Con-

gress to overrule any newregulations. The resolu-tion easily passed boththe House and Senate,but was vetoed by Presi-dent Obama.When President Trump

took office, he attemptedto roll back the rule al-most immediately. Unfor-tunately, the courtsintervened saying the cur-rent rule would have tobe replaced with a com-pletely new one, ratherthan rolled back. Much tothe relief of farmers andranchers across the coun-try, the EPA announced areplacement rule thisweek which both honorspast court decisions andincludes a more appropri-ate definition of naviga-ble waterways.Under the new rule, the

EPA will continue to do itsjob while respecting therights of farmers andranchers to steward ournatural resources as theyhave for generations. I ap-preciate President Trumpfor his efforts to shieldour agricultural produc-ers from burdensome reg-ulations and I’m proud tohave played a part inbringing the Obama ad-ministration’s overreachto light. I look forward tothis rule being finalizedfor the benefit of ourrural economy.

...and the Grinch’s small heartgrew three sizes that dayFor several weeks, the Rialto Theatre has been preparing for The Grinch’s

arrival, but who knew Cindy Lou Who would also be there? During Fridaynight’s showing of “The Grinch,” while the movie was still playing, 3-year-old Julieauna M. Hunt snuck behind the curtain thinking she was going toget some more popcorn and caught Debbie Connelly fixing the Grinch'sSanta hat. Her eyes lit up and she asked the Grinch, "What you doing?” Shethen slowly got closer and asked, “Where’s your puppy?”“This was very surprising because she is only 3 years old, and as I recall,

the youngest one to not be afraid and most definitely the only child thatwanted to give him a hug. She was the real life Cindy Lou! His heart mayhave grown three sizes that night,” said Debbie. Julieauna is the daughter of Travis and Heidi Hunt.
