HOLIDAY
CONTEST
Otoe County Commission chair says farewell

[email protected]
As the holiday season approached, Otoe County Commissioners met for the final time in
2014. It was the also the final
meeting for one commissioner.
Commission Chair Woman
Carol Crook finished the meeting
to say farewell.
"I am proud to be an Otoe
County resident after these six
years," Crook said. "The advisory
groups we have, the appointed positions, the county employees,
the elected positions … this has
been an outstanding group of individuals that have helped me
get my answers to to use as a resource … I can't thank you guys
enough for the six years."
Crook began tearing up as she
reflected on her last six years in office and thanked her family for
their constant support.
"I don't think the county knows
the pressure that goes on the
family of a county commissioner.
You're absent from certain things,"
she said. "Having them confronted at meetings, at restaurants, at
what their mother is doing or
what their wife is doing and that
he (her husband) doesn't have
control over me are some of the
things that have happened over
the last six years. So I cannot
thank my family enough for their

Zabawa said Pioneer Family is a new ice-breaker-type idea at the school where faculty and staff
are grouped with all of the third- through fifth-grade students to learn more about each other
and "create positive interactions between students and staff across different grade levels"
while doing fun activities. "It's just one more person that that kid could talk to, relate to, confide to," she said. Every Wednesday, students anxiously wait for the last 15 minutes of class to
go to Pioneer Family. Some activities students have done are making Christmas ornaments,
drawing with sidewalk chalk, talking, taking "family" pictures with different themes and playing games.

A shooting range/gun club operating just north of Nebraska City has
been ordered to cease operations until further notice.
The operators of Nebraska City
Firearms Association, located at 876
N 58th Road, have been operating the
so-called gun club illegally, as the required conditional use permits have
not been obtained, said Otoe County Zoning Administrator Dave
Schmitz.
The club is operated by property
tenants, whose full names could not
be confirmed at the time of this report.
Schmitz said he sent a cease-anddesist letter to property owner James
Engelkemier after receiving a complain from a neighbor.
"It was never approved, and, as far
as I know, the landowner never approved it being there," Schmitz said.
"Until they get a conditional use permit, there's nothing that can be done.
It's contrary to zoning regulations,
and it's illegal."

A convicted felon was arrested
Dec. 19 by the Nebraska City Police
Department after yelling profanities at an officer.
Corby Newburn, 39, of Nebraska
City was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct and a felon in possession of a deadly weapon.
At about 2:15 a.m., a NCPD officer
was patrolling an area near 2nd Avenue and 8th Street and heard a male
yelling. According to an affidavit,
the officer saw Newburn, who was
wearing a black sweatshirt, walking
south along 8th Street. The officer
made contact with Newburn, who
told the officer that he was walking
to the store.
According to the affidavit, the officer smelled alcohol on Newburn's
breath and observed that his eyes
were bloodshot.

During the regular December meeting, the Omaha Public Power District
Board of Directors voted to
increase the average residential customer's bill by
about $1.63 a month as of
Jan. 1, 2015.
OPPD has approved the
district's Corporate Operating Plan for 2015. The
new operating budget will
include a 1.6-percent average general rate increase for
customers.
According to a press release, OPPD's retail rates
are predicted to remain 10
percent below the regional
average and 20 percent below the national average.
OPPD Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer
Edward Easterlin said that
management worked hard
to minimize the size of any
rate increase and its impact
on customers. According to
the release, Easterlin discussed the challenges the
district faces in the coming
year and explained why
the increase is needed to
maintain the utility’s ability to provide reliable, safe,
affordable and environmentally sensitive energy
services.
According to the press
release, the major factors
for the rate adjustment included increases in the Fort
Calhoun Nuclear Station
operating costs, increasing
employee and retiree health
and benefit costs and rising
capital expenditure costs
targeted at maintaining
system reliability and future
load growth.
The projected revenue
requirements for 2015 total
about $929 million.
Easterlin said that without a rate increase, the projected revenue for the upcoming year could decrease
about $15 million below
the what's needed.

The new operating plan
includes a new rate rider
that was presented in November. The press release
stated that "the measure is
designed to help attract
new large industrial customers and new load
growth to the district's service territory,
"The rate would only be
offered if the new loads
would not have otherwise
located in the district's service territory, when the district has excess generating
capacity, and when providing a discount that lowers the overall costs for
other customers," the release stated.
Also approved were proposals to purchase replacement parts for the intermediate pressure turbine at Nebraska City Station Unit 2, which had
tripped offline Nov. 28 due
to high vibration and is
currently offline.

BROCK’S BEEF
Most of this is
our fault
he year 2014 has
been anything but
uneventful, but it
should be noted that our
report card isn't looking
too good.
After careful review,
and some help from the
work of "The Newsroom"
creator Aaron Sorkin, I
have concluded that we,
the media, bear most of
the blame.
We have failed to do
our jobs effectively in the
manner prescribed by the
United States Constitution.
These days, we are more
like drug peddlers and

And then came the technological boom of the 21st
century.
The digital crack pipes
we carry around in our
pockets deliver everything
from e-mail and social
networking to games, music, video and TV. While
we once relied on the
evening news and the daily newspaper, news is now
We do what we have to do,

do it for the accolades.
We are often pariahs in our

either don't do enough or go

the GOP.
Those who don't fall to
the extreme right or left
typically allow ratings to
dictate how they will spin
their stories.
It wasn't always like
this.
News stories are now
menu items, and dollars
dictate what is newsworthy, what is covered and
how it is covered.
Whether you get your
news from a TV network,
newspaper, magazine or
website, everyone falls
somewhere on the political spectrum.
If you're angry with
someone, you wouldn't
seek advice from his or
her close friend or relative, so why would you
get your news from a
source that doesn't mirror
your political, religious
and philosophical views,
especially when you'd
rather be patronized than
given a truthful assessment?
But finding objectivity
is the rub, as reporters
who resist the urge to editorialize in news stories
are slowly going the way
of the 8-track player.
Because let's face it,
who REALLY wants fair
and balanced - if there
really is such a thing? The
straight news story, which
doesn't always involve a
scandal, a murder or some
type of negativity, can be
boring.
Using our national discourse as a yard stick,
most news is boring unless the storyteller can
convince the reader or
viewer of which side is
right and which is wrong.
But our job is not to
entertain - it is to inform.
At some point, some
charlatan had the bright
idea that the two would
make a profitable hybrid.

forms, many of which are

Those of us who continue to fight the good
fight are faced with tight
budgets, causing the quality and quantity of our
coverage to suffer.
We do what we have to
do, but we don't do it for
the money, and we certainly don't do it for the
accolades. We are often
pariahs in our own communities, because we either don't do enough or go
too far when we do.
And that is a good
thing, because at least our
communities care enough
to complain. A critical
community is better than
an indifferent one. Criticism is support, whether
you realize it or not.
The media serves the
general public, but cannot
be controlled by it. It
seems paradoxical, but it
really isn't.
I, for one, am not ready
to give up on my chosen
profession, which the
First Amendment names
and protects specifically.
Thomas Jefferson once
said, "Were it left to me to
decide whether we should
have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer
the latter."
A former colleague of
mine once said that freedom of the press only exists for the man who owns
one. I disagree, as the
owner is as beholden to
revenue as his employees. I just hope that as we
usher in 2015, our nation
will once again embrace
the beauty of a free and
fair press, both of which
have been lost to dollars
and a lack of sense.
Ponder that!

DIARY OF A DAD
An awesome week
ast week I got to
do something I
love to do. I got to
distribute presents,
clothes, and food to 73
families and over 150
kids participating in the
SENCA Angel Tree Program.
This is the second year
my wife has coordinated
the program and it
wouldn’t be possible
without the generosity of
tons of folks in Nebraska
City, from Home Realty
to several churches, from
American Meter to
Cargill, from individuals
to families. Donors
worked together to provide those who otherwise
wouldn’t have a Christmas an opportunity to
celebrate in the traditional American way.
Hearing the joy in people’s voices, watching the
relief in their faces, seeing
the relaxation in their
body language, listening
to the thankfulness of
their words always brings
me joy but it also got me
to thinking.
What if we were able to
L
REV. GREG BOLT
spread the generosity, joy,
and thankfulness around
and magnify it throughout the year?
In town this year there
are several programs that
provide similar services
as Angel Tree. There’s
Toys for Tots, Shop with a
Cop, Warm Toes, not to
mention what individual
churches do for those in
their midst. What if we all
banded together to provide much needed relationship, assistance, and
connection throughout
the year?
I’m not quite sure what
that would look like exactly, I’m still formulating

ticular situation - such as

wishes to express
its gratitude to the Nebraska City Police Officers participating in their
"Shop with a Cop"
Christmas service project. Given the chaos that
has occurred recently in
New York and Ferguson,
this community service
project is a great reminder of the caliber of
high-character people we
have working for our local law enforcement
agencies - NCPD, Otoe
County Sheriff 's Office &
Nebraska State Patrol.
They truly care about
our communities.
Unfortunately, we are
also reminded in the news
daily of the dangers our
nation’s law enforcement
officers face and the sacrifices they make to protect
the citizens of this country
and ensure public safety.
We encourage engaging
in a constructive dialogue
on issues facing today’s
law enforcement officers.
Too often, the true operational nature of today’s law
enforcement is misunderstood or purposefully mischaracterized.

step toward helping the
justice system and the
public understand exactly
what these public servants

to protect the public under
all circumstances and ensuring the safety of our
communities. We thank
you!

Focus on
growing the
economy
ecent economic
news has been
broadly reassuring. Retail sales are
strong, November saw
the best job gains in
three years, the federal
deficit is shrinking, the
stock market is robust,
and the Fed is expressing
enough faith in the economy that an interest rate
bump next year is conWe are excited about sidered a certainty.
Yet the public remains
the NCPD's newly adoptunconvinced.
This is parted use of body worn camly because perceptions
R
it in my head but my first
thought is to have a donor
family partner with a
family in need for the
year. They would get to
know one another and
maybe be able to address
some of the underlying
and ongoing issues.
Maybe in March one
family takes the other to
dinner, maybe in April
the other family hosts
dinner in their home.
There’s a ton of options.
The idea would be to address the needs of people
throughout the year and
foster relationship and
the possibility of opening
up each other to people
they might never interact
with.
This might be a
“polyanna” idea, but I
think it’s worth a shot.
Recognizing that there
are countless things that
we could learn from one
another. A donor family
might start by thinking
they were just helping
someone in need and realize that they have received far more than they
have given. A family in
need could sign up thinking they would be able to
receive some assistance
and realize they have far
more to offer than they
once believed, with the
hope that both families
develop a positive relationship that will last a
lifetime.
This idea would take a
lot of investment, mostly
investment of time and
energy. As we continue in
the season of Christmas
let us not forget the generosity that we have
shared in these last days,
but shift it from a quick
blast to a slow release
with amazing growth potential.
If we are, in fact, our
brother’s keeper this opportunity could be beneficial to the entire community.
At dinner every night,
my family goes around
the table and shares their
high points and low
points of the day. We call
it “Favorite” and “Not Favorite”. Here are my “Favorites” and “Not Favorites” of the week.
Favorite: Being able to
help people..
Not Favorite: Senseless

spin that violence towards their own gains.
ity. For many middle- and
lower-class families, economic circumstances have
not changed very much.
Strong numbers do,
however, offer one unambiguous piece of good
news: The pressure on policy makers to focus on
near-term or immediate
problems has eased, which
means they can now focus
on the fundamental question of economic growth.
As Princeton economist
Alan Blinder, political
strategist Al From and others have pointed out, now
is the time for policy-makers to concentrate on creating the environment in
the country for sustained,
non-inflationary economic growth.
To begin with, we have a
chance to get our fiscal
house in order and pursue
long-term deficit reduction. This means modernizing entitlement spending
and shaping a tax-reform
package that focuses on
investments to boost productivity and help the
economy to grow for
everyone. It also means
eliminating public subsidies to individual enterprises—that money can
better be spent on boosting
the economic skills of ordinary Americans through
education and training.
There are other steps
government policy-mak-
We need to expand trade
through open markets and
simplify the regulatory
structure so that it protects
Americans without burdening companies beyond
reason. And we must address our nation’s deferred
infrastructure needs,
which hinder the smooth
functioning of every business that relies on transporting its goods.
The same applies to reforming government itself. A government that
does not work well — that
wastes money, fails its regulatory responsibilities,
and cannot make timely
decisions — undermines
economic growth. Finally,
policy-makers need to remember that economic
growth means providing a
ladder out of poverty for
the truly needy.
Free, competitive markets are the best way to deliver goods and services to
Americans. Government
must not get in the way of
that system. Nor should it
stand idle.
The right response by
government to our economic challenges is not to
focus on the immediate
economic problems of the
day, but to invest in economic growth for all.

FAREWELL

joyed every single minute
of serving with you. You're
a great bunch. We gotten a
lot of stuff accomplished.
We have a lot of things to
do."
Crook acknowledged
Jerad Sornson of Nebraska City in the crowd. Sornson will be sworn in as a
county commissioner on
Jan. 8 in the Otoe County
Courtroom with other reelected and elected county
officials. Crook didn't run
for reelection.
"And Jerad, I know with
your enthusiasm and attendance of these meetings … I have all of the faith
in the world that you're
going to be able to continue to work with these gentlemen," she said.
Commissioner
Tim
Nelsen acknowledged
Crook for her work on the
commission.
"On behalf of the commissioners we would like
to thank Carol as well. Carol came in with four of the
five of us as a new group,"
Nelsen said. "We basically
started over again reconstituting the board and
we've had some amazing
things happen during her
zoning," Schmitz said. "It's
something that's going to
be a part of the existing
plan from 2002. We're
making an addendum to
the existing plan we have
and then it will be addressed in the new plan,
which won't be approved
probably until the end of
next year at the earliest. It'll
be a part of the new comprehensive plan."
Nelsen called the project
"monumentous."
"Every 10 years we have
to do a complete rezoning
of the county," he said.
Commissioners
approved Schmitz's request
and also approved:
■ The LGR Subdivision,
which stands for Larry and
Gayle Royal, at 402 S. 8th
Rd., south of Palmyra.
■ The resignation of
Donna Crownover as the
Otoe County Visitors Committee administrative assistant. Her replacement
will be discussed at the
next meeting on Jan. 13.
■ For Otoe County
Emergency Management
Director Gregg Goebel to
make a request to the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency for grant
funds for the development
and revision of the Local
Emergency Operations
Plan.
(time) on the board and I
think it's important to note
some of those things and
remember them."
Nelsen said Crook
helped fund 14 major
bridges and helped lower
the levy over 20 percent
during her time in office.
"Something that's never
been done in the history of
the county," Nelsen added.
"Carol's been an integral
part of this since day one
and she's going to be
missed by the commissioners. And she is always
welcome to come back."
Crook shook her head
in response.
County officials hosted a
surprise farewell party for
Crook in the multipurpose
room in the basement of
the Otoe County Courthouse after the meeting.
Commissioners had a
short list of agenda items
to go through at the meeting.
Otoe County Zoning Administrator and Surveyor
David Schmitz asked commissioners to approve a
"basic" energy element to
be added to the existing
Comprehensive Zoning
Plan.
"We wanted to do this
because that day of Jan. 1,
2015, we're really supposed
to have some type of plan
in the county where there's
tanks and by the highway.
He's only got 15 acres, and
I don't know how he can
come up with a shooting
range on that small a property with all that stuff
around him."
"I think it's dangerous
for the public."
Otoe County Sheriff Jim
Gress said he has received
two noise complaints in
the last month, but nothing
in the last week or so.
Gress said if shooting resumes, the sheriff 's department will respond and
"shut them down." A report
will then be filed with the
county attorney.
GUN
Continued from Page A1
In order for the gun club
to resume operations, the
property owner must obtain the necessary permits,
which must be approved by
the Planning Board and
County Commissioners,
Schmitz said.
According to the club's
w e b s i t e ,
www.ncfaclub.com, members will have access to "a 15
acre playground" that includes a 12-lane archery
area, a skeet/trap/clay pigeon area, a 65-by-30-yard
pistol area and and elevated shooting platform called
"The Crows Nest."
Full metal jacket rounds
are allowed on all "normal
paper target boards," the
site says.
The site also states that
there are no caliber restrictions.
"If you have any questionable firearms that you
believe may be even outside
of OUR criteria, please feel
free to contact us [and]
we will be happy to let you
know if we have an area
you can fire your more restrictive calibers and
weapon systems. No full
metal jacket on reactive
targets on the rifle
range…yet," the site says.
Schmitz was unaware
that a website existed until
speaking with The NewsPress.
"I don't know what the
guy thought he was doing,
but it has to go through the
owner," Schmitz said.
The club owners/tenants
could not be reached for
comment at the time of
this report.
County Commissioner
Ron Hauptman, who lives
near the property, said the
noise has been a nuisance.
"It was awful," he said.
"There were some that
were kind of rapid fire – I
did hear that. That was
kind of scary to have them
shooting.
"I look at it this way – it's
by the railroad tracks and
the pipeline with the big

Two other individuals

the officer they were looking for a couple of missing
dogs.
The affidavit states that
the two individuals
walked away, and Newburn stood on the corner
of 8th Avenue and Central

was leaving the scene.

What are some of the
things you are most proud
of when it comes to the
work the NCCFF does?
Teaching the spirit of
giving to our young students is an opportunity for
all of us to see a bright future for this community.
Their creativity has been
inspiring. We have seen
the changes the non-traditional scholarships awarded by NCCFF have made in
the lives of our friends and
neighbors. Providing first
and second chances
strengthens our community.
The idea that Nebraska
City, through the NCCFF,
was asked to participate
as one of four Nebraska
communities in the Sherwood Challenge is amazing
and a vote of confidence by
leaders beyond Nebraska
City. Soon the NCCFF will
be able to fund more local
projects making Nebraska
City an ever stronger place

36.
"We are heading in the
right direction," said Ali S.
Khan, M.D., M.P.H., dean
of the University of Nebraska Medical Center
College of Public Health.
"With a real concerted
effort, we can reach No. 1
by 2020."
Since joining UNMC
in July, Dr. Khan has traveled across the state to
talk about how to improve the state's health indicators. He supports
UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, M.D., and his
strategic goal to work
with all health systems
and private and community partners to help
make Nebraska the
healthiest state in the
union by 2020.
The report, "America's
Health Rankings: A Call
to Action for Individuals
and their Communities,"
analyzed the health of the
nation holistically with
in-depth data and analysis. Its focus is on behaviors, community and environment, policy and
clinical care to provide a
comprehensive picture of
the nation's health. Indicators are: low birth
weight, smoking, obesity,
drug deaths, physical inactivity and adolescent
immunizations.
First, the good news -
Nebraska ranks:
· First - High rate of
high school graduation.
In the past two years, high
school graduation increased 12 percent from
82.9 percent to 93 percent for incoming ninth
graders. Nebraska is tied
with Vermont for the
highest graduation rate
in the nation.
· Second - High immunization coverage among
children. In the past year,
immunization coverage
among children increased
by 9 percent from 72.6
percent to 79 percent for
children aged 19 to 35
months.
· Third - Low rate of
drug deaths.
· 10th - In the past year,
the number of children in
poverty decreased by 27
percent from 19.6 percent to 14.3 percent.
· 24th - In the past year,
preventable hospitalizations decreased by 13 percent from 63.8 to 55.8
per 1,000 Medicare beneficiaries.
Still, it isn't all good
news. In areas that need
work, Nebraska ranks:
· 16th - In the past two
years, the percentage of
adults with diabetes increased 10 percent from
8.4 percent to 9.2 percent.
· 21st - Percentage of
adults who are smokers
(self-report smoking at
least 100 cigarettes in
their lifetime and currently smoke).
· 23rd - Public health
funding.
· 27th - Percentage of
adults who are obese.
· 44th - Percentage of
adults who self-report
drinking alcoholic beverages on at least one occasion in the last month:
women - four or more
drinks at one sitting; men
- five or more drinks at
one sitting.
This marks the 25th
year that UHF has issued
state rankings in partnership with the American Public Health Association and Partnership
for Prevention.
America’s Health Rankings is the longest-running report of its kind. It
provides analysis of national health on a stateby-state basis by evaluating a historical and comprehensive set of health,
environmental and socioeconomic data to determine national health
benchmarks and state
rankings. The rankings
employ a unique methodology that is developed
and annually reviewed
and overseen by a Scientific Advisory Committee
of leading public health
scholars.
The data in the report
come from well-recognized outside sources,
such as the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, American Medical Association, FBI,
Dartmouth Atlas Project,
U.S. Department of Education, and the Census
Bureau.

in full, go to www.americashealthrankings.org.
How the states rank
Here are the top 10
states, and the last:
1 - Hawaii
2 – Vermont
3 – Massachusetts
4 – Connecticut
5 – Utah
6 – Minnesota
7 – New Hampshire
8 – Colorado
9 – North Dakota
10 – Nebraska
to ACS
ather than participate in a gift exchange, two
fourth-grade classes at
Hayward Elementary
School in Nebraska City
made a donation to the
American Cancer Society
as a way to give back this
holiday season.
The students donated a
total of $324.40 the ACS.
"When I asked the stu-
R
dents where they wanted
to give the money, one student suggested giving to
fight against cancer," said
Jennifer Borg, fourth-
grade teacher. "Other students agreed as many said
they knew someone who
had or has cancer and felt
it was an important cause."

Application deadline for YES Abroad Scholarship is Jan. 7
The application deadline for
the 2015-2016 Kennedy-Lugar
Youth Exchange and Study
(YES) Abroad scholarship program is January 7, 2015. The program provides full scholarships
to American high school students to experience overseas
communities and cultures,
preparing students to collaborate
on today’s global challenges such
as human rights, community
development, workforce development, climate change, and
global health.
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs,
the YES Abroad program enables students to study for one
academic year in countries that
may include Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ghana, South Africa, India, Indonesia, Macedonia,
Malaysia, Morocco, Oman,
Philippines, Thailand, and
Turkey. The merit-based scholarship covers domestic and international travel; applicable
visa fees; medical benefits; room
and board; tuition at the local
high school; orientations; and
fees for educational and cultural activities.
Participants in the program
fully immerse themselves into
the culture of their host family
while attending local high school.
Erica, a current scholarship recipient from Wisconsin, who
was named the October 2014
American Abroad of the Month
by the State Department, said:
“My time in South Africa has given me a chance to learn from
daily life in my host school, while
focusing my attention outward to
my host family and community.
Every day I am both a student
and teacher to my peers, and I
have learned so much not just
about what it means to be Zulu,
Xhosa, or Afrikaans, but also
what it means to be an American. I have found that it is in the
informal conversations between
classes and sport where I have
learned and shared the most.”
A 2012 participant, Hannah,
who studied in Malaysia for one
year, stated that “the YES Abroad
program opened my eyes. I
learned about a new culture and
shared my own. I now have two
homes, two families and countless friends from around the
world.”
Interested students should visit www.yes-abroad.org to learn
more the program and to apply.
Contact the YES Abroad program at [email protected]
or 800-237-4636 x2151 if you
have questions about the program or application process.

NOTICE
The Nemaha Natural Resources District will hold a
public hearing on Thursday,
January 15, 2015, at 6:00 p.m.
at the District office to receive
written and oral testimony concerning the adoption of
changes to the District’s
Chemigation Program Rules &
Regulations.
A recent change to state law
requires all natural resources
districts to establish chemigation permit application fees
that are sufficient to cover ongoing administrative costs and
the cost of the annual inspection program. The NNRD is
considering adoption of proposed Chemigation Rules to
comply with this requirement
and establish District-wide
policies by rule.
A brief description of the proposed rules & regulations are
described below.
•A person wishing to use
chemigation must obtain a permit from the NNRD.
•Permits expire on June 1 of
each year.
•Chemigation permit application fees are $50 for a new
permit, $20 for a renewal permit, $50 for a special permit,
and $100 for an emergency
permit.
•The NNRD will inspect
chemigation safety equipment
as required by the Nebraska
Department of Environmental
Quality’s Title 195 to ensure
proper installation and function.
•Applicators must possess a
valid chemigation applicators
certification.
•The NNRD may approve,
deny, suspend, or revoke a
permit if the chemigation system does not comply with the
Nebraska Chemigation Act
Title 195 or the District’s
Chemigation Rules and Regulations.
A complete copy may be obtained at the District office at
62161 HWY 136, Tecumseh,
Nebraska, (402) 335-3325, MF 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. or on

need to make their Christmas brighter. Once again, Home Real Estate was
proud to help sponsor this program. Our agents donated a portion of their
commissions for October, November and December, to this worthy cause.
Thank you to everyone that helped us reach our goal and helped those who
could use more merry in their Christmas! Whether you sold or purchased a
house, where a portion of the commission was used to sponsor families,
picked an ornament off our tree, or sponsored an entire family, your generosity is greatly appreciated! Blessings to you all for a happy and healthy
New Year!
