News was announced early this

week that Plainview Telephone

Company/Nyecom has been

named a “Smart Rural Communi-

tySM (SRC) provider” by NTCA–

The Rural Broadband Association.

SRC is a national network of

communities powered by innova-

tive rural broadband providers

that are building a brighter future

for small-town America. The pro-

gram promotes rural broadband

and its role in supporting innova-

tive economic development, ef-

fective education, efficient energy

distribution and use, state-of-the-

art health care and other impor-

tant issues for rural America.

In order to receive recognition

as a SRC provider, Plainview Tele-

phone Company was required to

affirm that it offers 25/3 Mbps

broadband to at least 50% of its

service area and must show it is

committed to program principles

of collaboration and innovation.

In Plainview’s case, Gigabit

services are now available to

100% of their customers. As a re-

sult of Plainview Telephone Com-

pany’s national recognition,

Plainview will now be celebrated

as a Smart Rural Community in

program materials and online at

www.smartruralcommunity.com,

joining a national network of sim-

ilarly innovative communities.

NTCA Chief Executive Officer

Shirley Bloomfield also recog-

nized Plainview Telephone Com-

pany for this achievement, noting,

“We are so excited to welcome an-

other Smart Rural Community

provider into this growing net-

work of innovative broadband

providers delivering the Internet’s

fastest speeds in some of the

most remote and rural communi-

ties of our country. I applaud

Plainview Telephone and the

town of Plainview for their com-

mitment to enabling cutting-

edge technologies that drive

innovation and promote eco-

nomic development in their re-

gion and nationwide.”

Nyecom named “SRC” for

broadband opportunities

This year’s Plainview Fire Department Junior Fire Patrol class

doubled up for the 2021 season with last year’s fifth-graders (now

sixth-graders) and this year’s fifth-graders making a twice-the-size

class for longtime firefighter and class leader, Rick Mosel.

This year’s fifth-graders’ Chief was Savannah Lingenfelter, and

the Assistant Chief was Season Forbes.

Last year’s fifth-graders’ Chief was Landon Hergert, and the As-

sistant Chief was Bastion Curtiss.

Both groups took their “final” test last Tuesday evening, had a

supper provided by the fire department, received their diplomas

for passing Junior Fire Patrol, and took turns riding the parade

truck.

Chris Fonner was watching

Olympic coverage in 2010 and

2014 when he became interested

in curling, and then, he saw cover-

age of the U.S. Curling Olympic tri-

als held in October of 2017 at

Baxter Arena in Omaha and de-

cided to try it.

“I found online the closest curl-

ing was in Sioux Falls, South

Dakota and attended a learn-to-

curl night,” said Fonner. “I started

at the Scheels IcePlex in Sioux Falls

the spring of 2018 and played

there for two and a half years.”

After playing in Sioux Falls, Fon-

ner found a rink in Omaha. “I

joined the Aksarben Curling Club

in a fall 2018 league. During that

time, I participated in a league

play in both Sioux Falls and

Omaha.” Fonner began playing in

Omaha to have more time on the

ice and to experience another

club. In Omaha, Fonner played at

the Baxter Arena (Holland Ice). “It

was a lot of driving!”

“There are many reasons I

greatly enjoy curling,” said Fonner.

“The friendly attitude and positive,

less-competitive spirit (we say,

“good curling” to everyone), the

unique family atmosphere on-ice

March 26, 2021

When spring arrives in Ne-

braska, snow melts, days get

longer, and we enjoy the warmer

weather and sunlight. It’s re-

freshing to get outside and re-

sume activities that weren’t

possible during the winter

months.

This year, the arrival of spring

has added significance as we get

back to a more normal life after

over a year of dealing with the

pandemic. Earlier this month,

Nebraskans from across the state

came to Lincoln to cheer on

teams playing in the girls and

boys state high school basket-

ball tournaments. On March 1st,

UNL announced plans to have an

in-person graduation ceremony

in May. Last week, we received

good news that fans will be al-

lowed to attend Husker sports

events such as the spring game

and volleyball matches. More

and more families have been

able to spend time in-person

with loved ones at nursing

homes. Students are shopping

for prom dresses. Neighbors are

planning backyard barbecues

and parents Easter egg hunts.

It’s uplifting to have more op-

portunities to hold celebrations

and gather with friends and fam-

ily. Even as spring brings hope of

many kinds, we must continue to

work together to get vaccine out

to communities to protect

against the virus. There are still

roughly 100 Nebraskans hospi-

talized around the state with

COVID-19. While the numbers of

new positive cases rapidly de-

clined across much of the coun-

try from December to late

February, they’ve hit a plateau

over the past month. It’s impor-

tant for us to stay committed to

good health practices. Stay

home when sick or if experienc-

ing loss of taste or smell. If you

get exposed, remember to quar-

antine if you’re not vaccinated.

Avoid the “Three Cs”—crowded

places, close contacts, and con-

fined spaces—and use our famil-

iar tools to slow the spread of

the virus. All of these behaviors

will help to protect our families

and communities.

We can finish strong and end

this together by signing up at

vaccinate.ne.gov or 833-998-

2275 to get the coronavirus shot.

As more people get the coron-

avirus vaccine, we’re building im-

munity across our communities.

This reduces opportunities for

the virus to spread. The faster we

gain widespread immunity, the

more we will see the return of

large concerts, athletic competi-

tions, and summer fairs.

More than a half-million Ne-

braskans have already received

at least one dose of the coron-

avirus vaccine. Currently, the

State is receiving regular doses

of three vaccines: Pfizer, Mod-

erna, and Johnson & Johnson.

The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines

require two doses, spaced a few

weeks apart. Johnson & John-

son’s vaccine only requires a sin-

gle shot. They have all been

shown to be 100% effective

against hospitalization and

death from coronavirus.

In our vaccination plan, we

gave top priority to doctors,

nurses, other healthcare workers,

and residents and staff of long-

term care facilities (Phase 1A).

Once these groups were vacci-

nated, we began prioritizing vac-

cination primarily by age. This

aligns with our data, which

clearly indicates that age is the

single biggest factor in deter-

mining risk of mortality from

coronavirus. In Nebraska, 83% of

deaths from coronavirus have

occurred among residents age

65 and older, and 94% of deaths

have been among those 55 and

older.

In Phase 1B, we dedicated at

least 90% of vaccines for Ne-

braskans age 65 and older. The

remaining vaccines in this phase

were administered to workers in

critical infrastructure. Our local

health departments have made

great progress in this phase, and

all of them moved into Phase 2A

as of March 22, 2021. In this

phase, we’re giving at least 90%

of vaccines to Nebraskans 50 and

older. The rest of the vaccines in

Phase 2A are being used by local

health departments to vaccinate

Nebraskans identified by area

healthcare providers as being at

high risk from the virus due to

underlying health conditions.

We’ve also instructed health dis-

tricts that they can vaccinate

healthy Nebraskans younger

than 50 years old if needed in

order to administer all of the

doses they’ve been allocated.

Our plan is working. The Cen-

ters for Disease Control and Pre-

vention (CDC) ranks Nebraska in

the top five states in the nation

for vaccine coverage in counties

with high social vulnerability to

the virus. As of March 26th, the

CDC also ranked Nebraska as

10th best nationally for doses

administered per 100,000 adults

(18+). We continue to work to

get vaccine out quickly to our

communities.

Please sign up immediately to

get the vaccine and encourage

your friends and family to sign

up as well. As vaccine supplies

increase, we’re quickly expand-

ing access. Some local health de-

partments have already opened

up vaccination to any adult in

their district. Your turn may be

here sooner than you think, so

don’t delay signing up.

If you have questions about

the State of Nebraska’s coron-

avirus response, email pete.rick-

[email protected] or call

402-471-2244. Again, encourage

your friends and family to sign

up for vaccination so that we can

finish strong and put the pan-

demic behind us.

As you know, the United States

Treasury is working 24/7 printing

money.

Regardless of how we may feel

about the impact on the national

debt and any other negative eco-

nomic effects, we’ll embrace the

hundreds of thousands of these

dollars that will

be coming to

Plainview Pub-

lic Schools

through each of

the three stimu-

lus packages

passed by Con-

gress in the last

year. The

amount each

school district is allocated is

based on their Title 1 funding for-

mula which is tied to a great de-

gree by the school’s free and

reduced meals eligibility popula-

tion.

In October I shared details on

how the first stimulus (CARES)

benefitted us to the tune of just

over $60,000. We used those

funds to purchase Chromebooks

for our 7-12 students which made

us an authentic 1:1 school: one

digital device (laptop or iPad)

available for every student in our

school. From my conversations

with other district leaders it ap-

pears that this was the most pop-

ular use of CARES funds spent last

year.

Last December, President

Trump signed the second stimu-

lus passed by Congress called the

Coronavirus Response and Relief

Supplemental Appropriations Act

(CRRSA). Plainview Public Schools

has been allocated $231,439 from

this stimulus to “prepare, prevent,

and respond to the coronavirus”.

There are great many discussions

going on nationwide by school

boards on how/where to direct

these funds. Each district must

submit a plan/budget which has

to be approved by their SEA (State

Education Association). District

leaders have been attending nu-

merous conferences and webi-

nars to understand what are

allowable expenses for these

funds. Primarily, it’s expected that

stimulus funds be used to make

school buildings safer from virus

spread and to address “unfinished

learning” that has occurred due to

school disruption/shutdowns and

excessive teacher absences

caused by the coronavirus. We

have until September 2023 to ex-

pend these funds.

There is some very vague lan-

guage in the “allowable uses” doc-

ument which will generate some

creative conversation I am sure as

we move forward with decisions

on where to spend these funds.

Here’s an example: Other activi-

ties that are necessary to maintain

the operation of and continuity of

services in local educational

agencies and continuing to em-

ploy existing staff of the local ed-

ucational agency.

On March 11, President Biden

signed the American Rescue Plan

Act (ARP). This is the third stimu-

lus that will funnel funds to

schools that will have until Sep-

tember 2024 to “invest” in their

schools. While we won’t know

what our allocation of ARP funds

will be until May 15, we’re told to

expect over twice the amount

from CRRSA. This means we may

have another $400,000-$500,000

coming to Plainview Public

Schools to invest in our facilities,

staff, and students. Non-public

schools also benefit from these

funds. Zion Elementary was allo-

cated $6,271 in the first stimulus.

For the CRRSA and ARP acts, non-

public schools will work directly

through the NDE for their alloca-

tions.

Our school board will be con-

sidering our investment options

in the coming months. Please feel

free to share your thoughts or ask

any questions about these stimu-

lus funds or anything else at Plain-

view Public Schools. We can all be

Congress shall make no law

speech, or of the press . . .

– The First Amendment

Something foul is a-foot

So this week something fun happened in Plainview - I’m not

quite sure what it was, but it turned out to really wreck me.

I have a bit of an allergy/sinus problem, and something this

week that descended upon our community really set me on fire.

It started as a tickle in my nose, which then caused me to

sneeze, which created a large amount of snot in my head, which

then covered the itchy parts of my nose, but then made me want

to blow my nose, which then uncovered the itchy parts and made

the tickle come back, which caused me to sneeze, and so on and

so forth until the other employees here at the News began to won-

der if I was going to sneeze up a part of my kidneys or not.

It’s not really a new thing - I’m pretty used to it. When I was a kid

I went through a number of over the counter and prescription al-

lergy medicine, my parents even took me to Norfolk to the fancy

allergy specialist.

If I’d known exactly what awaited me there, I would’ve probably

just requested a few more boxes of tissues and called it good.

They didn’t really strap me down, persay, but it really seemed

like it might’ve been a good idea. 100 scratches on your back with

some itchy-inducing things on them, and then you take the top

10 offenders from the itchy back area and apply them by shot to

the upper arm. Whichever one of those lucky numbers causes you

to swell up, and you’ve chosen your winners.

Unfortunately for me, my top three were cats, dogs and dust -

so being an animal appreciator and living in Nebraska, I pretty

much figured I was out of luck no matter what happened.

But this past week, whatever’s been after me, has, I think caused

my lungs to separate from my body and transcend my physical

being and actually become spirit like. Sure, they still provide me

some oxygen once and awhile, but they sure do seem like they’re

not attached most of the time.

Maybe it’ll freeze again next week and spare me some sniffles,

sneezes and just all around stuffyness.

Be on the lookout (hearout?)

I had a report this week of a phonecall coming to a local resi-

dent by someone that claimed to be part of Medicare.

I can assure you they were not with Medicare, but they appar-

ently had a very good speech about how they were going to send

a new card to help deal with COVID related issues, if only they

could get a little more information from the answerer.

Fortunately, this person had enough experience to know a

scam call when one was received.

I guess it’s that time of year - everyone knows that everyone

that has a social security number has $1,400 to scam out of their

pockets. If we’re not giving it to the billionaires, we apparently

have time to be buying iTunes cards and shipping them off to

Jakarta.

Don’t worry, your cards will likely be held up in some shipping

container on the back of a ship that turns sideways somewhere

around Michigan.

What a strange, newsworthy world we live in these days.

In case it needs said - the government will never ask you for

your social security number, or any other real information over the

Day of Prayer Friday, April 9th at 2

p.m.

World Day of Prayer is a world-

wide ecumenical movement of

Christian women of many tradi-

tions who come together to ob-

serve a common day of prayer and

action each year. Each year a dif-

ferent country serves as the writer

of the World Day of Prayer worship

service, interpreting the Bible in

their own context and lifting up is-

sues of mission, justice and peace

that are important to them.

This year the women Vanuatu

call prayers to worship with the

words “Build on a Strong Founda-

tion,” inspired by Matthew Chap-

ter 7:24-27.

Attendees are invited to learn

about Vanuatu’s history and rich

culture. The women share their

stories of intergenerational wis-

dom, traditions, and experiences

of God’s profound love.

All are welcome to attend.

begin when Confederate shore bat-

open fire on Union-held Fort Sumter

in South Carolina’s Charleston Bay.

Four years later, the Confederacy was

defeated at a cost of 620,000 Union

and Confederate soldiers dead.

• On April 15, 1912, the British

considered unsinkable.

• On April 16, 1947, multimillionaire

Bernard Baruch coins the term “Cold

War” to describe relations between the

U.S. and the Soviet Union, a war with-

out fighting or bloodshed, but a bat-

mainstay in the language of American

diplomacy.

• On April 17, 1964, the Ford Mus-

• On April 14, 1975, the U.S. airlift

of Vietnamese orphans ends after 2,600

children are transported to America for

adoption. Operation Baby Lift lasted

10 days and was carried out during the

final, desperate phase of the war, only

16 days before the fall of Saigon.

• On April 18, 1989, thousands of

Chinese students continue to take to

the streets in Beijing to protest govern-

ment policies and issue a call for great-

er democracy, resulting in the Tianan-

men Square Massacre and thousands

of protestors dead. Fear that a severe

U.S. reaction to the massacre might

result in a diplomatic rupture limited

the official U.S. response.

• On April 13, 1997, Tiger Woods

wins the prestigious Masters Tourna-

• Nobody knows how the Academy

Oscars.” The earliest mention was in

1932 and became official in 1939.

• In 1911, Elmer McCurdy robbed a

passenger train he thought contained

thousands of dollars, and was shot

by lawmen after making off with just

$46. His unclaimed corpse was then

embalmed and sold to a traveling car-

Thought for the Day: “The beauti-

left to learn, see or be; it’s magical,

really.” — Dulce Ruby

By Lucie Winborne

and in warming space; especially

at dedicated-ice clubs, and the

“broom-stacking” after game

where we share refreshments and

discussion.”

Despite the joys of curling, Fon-

ner does face challenges while

playing. “The optimum curling po-

sition in delivering a stone is phys-

ically hard for me to develop a

good consistent stance,” said Fon-

ner. “Alternatives can be used such

as using a “stick” while walking up-

right, even wheelchair curling. But,

most everyone can adapt and

have a fun experience.”

Fonner and his wife, Pastor

Donna, attended the 2019 Curling

World Cup tournament and Bax-

ter Arena practices at Aksarben

Curling Club where Fonner plays

in league games. The couple also

plan on attending the upcoming

US Curling Olympic trials sched-

uled at Baxter Arena in Omaha

this November.

Most recently, the couple at-

tended the 2019 Curling World

Cup which was held at the Ralston

Arena in West Omaha. The com-

petition was in a round-robin for-

mat where the US National teams

competed in men’s, women’s, and

mixed doubles competition.

“We thoroughly enjoyed the

entire tournament which was

staged over several days,” said

Fonner. “We purchased tickets that

included use of earphones that al-

lowed us to “listen-in on” the US

Team’s player communications on

ice. Good seating also allowed us

to “directly” hear the US and inter-

national teams verbal chatter their

on-ice instructions during their

highly competitive play.”

“I am currently curling weekly

at Baxter Arena in winter league,”

said Fonner. I plan to curl in a club

in Eau Claire, Wisconsin later this

year when I move there perma-

nently, probably in November

2021.”

“I took up curling when I was

69 years old, so it is never too late

to start this great retirement

sport/hobby!”

Game Procedures

Curling is a friendly, indoor ice

sport which involves two oppos-

ing teams taking turns guiding 44

pound stones made of granite

with a plastic handle down an ice

sheet to a target. The stones typi-

cally trace out a curving pat, thus

“curling.”

A game in curling consists of

eight ends. There are many rules,

but unlike many other sports, curl-

ing officials only assist as re-

quested on a point of order. The

teams themselves “officiate” their

own play using an honor system.

Team coaches are more limited in

how they coach, are not allowed

to “direct” players verbally from

their designated seating area, and

usually only consult with their

team during a half-time if used

and one “timeout” per game.

At a preliminary coin flip, teams

decide selection of having the

“hammer” which is the competi-

tive advantage in the first end or

stone color. Play proceeds via al-

ternate “delivering” two stones by

each team player in succession

starting from a stance at the

“hack” which is the rubber insert

in ice. This is akin to the starting

block in track and field. When

eight stones from each team have

been delivered, the end is com-

plete, and scoring is agreed on or

determined by the team Skips and

posted by the Vice Skip of scoring

team. The highest score after eight

wins the game.

There are four players on a

team: the lead, second, vice-skip,

and the skip who is known as the

team captain. It takes about two

hours to play on commercial

rental ice.

“Sweeping” is used when

deemed necessary to lower resist-

ance to stone travel on the liquid-

ice layer; thus, sustaining a straight

path of stone or longer travel path

into the “house” to accomplish de-

sired stone placement or strategy.

“By applying vigorous down-

ward pressure, sweeping can af-

fect the motion of a stone to stay

on a straight path or prolong its

travel into the house to become a

“counter” which is a stone

awarded one point,” said Fonner.

“There are usually eight ends

which is akin to innings in base-

ball,” said Fonner. “Ties are de-

cided usually in one additional

end. Olympic and World Cup curl-

ing generally use 10 ends, but

competitive time limits might “run

out” before 10 ends.”

Scoring

The scoring system works as

follows: at the completion of each

end, the team captain of each

team observe which color stone(s)

are closer than the opponent’s

stones to the center of the “but-

ton” which are the concentric cir-

cles.

“The color of these circles is a

visual aid only as it does not indi-

cate scoring points” said Fonner.

“Each closer than opponent stone

is awarded one point. Only one

team may score per end. Addi-

tionally, an end may be “blan-

keted” meaning there are no

stones in the concentric circles,

thus neither team scores in such

ends.”

“Many curling clubs are more

informal,” said Fonner. “There are

no officials and players control

their own game.”

Equipment

The basic equipment needed

consists of appropriate athletic

shoes that are clean and are only

used on the ice, a broom stick with

an approved head brush and a

“slider” which is a teflon footpad

used below one of your athletic

shoes. Plus, a broom stick that is

usually provided by the club each

week.

Originally, straw brooms were

used on outdoor ice lakes or rivers

in Scotland. Since curling moved

indoors, the advantage of “special

brush heads” that different clubs

used was outlawed and standard-

ized brush heads were mandated

to “level the playing field.”

“Experienced players purchase

quality shoes with a built-in slider

and quality brooms from online

suppliers or vendors at special

sales arranged by curling clubs at

an ice facility,” said Fonner. “conve-

nient curling clothing and acces-

sories are also available for

purchase.”

Quality curling shoes consist of

a built-in slider on one shoe and a

gripping pattern design on the

other shoe. Additionally, a “grip-

per” cover is used over the slider

to provide stability on ice while

not delivering a stone.

“If players wear athletic shoes,

they should be used only for ice

curling to ensure the ice surface

does not become soiled,” said

Fonner. “A portable slider is used

under one shoe while delivering a

stone.”

Extra Padding

Beginners usually adjust to trip-

ping hazards caused by heavy

weight of the stones and not

watching out when multiple

stones are in the target. “Individual

awareness is the best protection

against falls. Curlers sign a waiver

to play at their own risk,” said Fon-

ner.

“Most players wear enough

clothing to suit for warmth and

we rarely use extra padding. I wear

a knee pad on one leg for ice con-

tact while delivering stone.”

Stone Material

“The curling stones are made

from granite quarried only in Scot-

land,” said Fonner. A single stone

costs $450 dollars to $600 dollars

each. However, in a sanctioned

competition they must be pur-

chased from a matched set.

Matched sets are sold to curling

clubs, typically for four sheets of

ice with 16 stones per sheet for a

total of 64 stones.

“A new quality set may involve

an investment cost of about

$40,000 dollars or more. Used sets

are available at a reduced price,

but individuals cannot purchase

new stones separately.

Seasonal Activity

Most curling clubs curl in a sea-

son from October through March

each year. It is limited on rental

hockey ice to several different

leagues of seven week durations,

depending on other uses of

hockey arenas.

“Curling is rarely played out-

doors anymore; good stones will

suffer on outdoor ice and not

track adequately. The advantage

of indoor ice is that there is better

control of conditions, consistent

conditions for all players, layout of

curling sheets makes for more en-

joyable play, and stone control in

competitive play is more consis-

tent.”

Most clubs aspire to moving to

a “dedicated” ice curling facility

that they build new or purchase

along with necessary refrigeration

units. “They have an advantage of

scheduling year-round schedules

with no other distraction and “bet-

ter” control of excellent ice condi-

tions,” said Fonner. “Clubs use a

summer-off season for slowly

“building up” layers of high-qual-

ity ice, ongoing maintenance, and

to save higher operation costs for

refrigeration in hot water.”

Sometimes modern art is hard to

understand, and often it is meant to be

a joke. David Gilhooly (1943-2013)

was a successful contemporary art-

ist who often included big or small

realistic or comic frogs in his sculp-

tures. He is known as the founder and

father of the Bay Area Funk Art group

in the 1960s. Although he had doz-

ens of exhibitions and made art from

papier-mache, plastic, clay and trash,

he is best known for the green frogs.

His most controversial sculpture is a

crucified frog, now in a museum col-

lection. Almost all his sculptures were

fantasies, meant to be funny or have a

satirical message. He sculpted frogs in

salads, wedding cakes, pizzas, frying

pans and with hats.

Look carefully at this Gilhooly

sculpture. It sold for $2,125, although

it is only 8 inches high. Nice-look-

ing realistic sandwich with tomato,

cheese, lettuce, pickle and onion on a

sesame seed bun and — April Fool! —

don’t forget the bright green frog.

What can you tell me about

a Red Comet Fire Grenade

salesman’s kit that dates to 1943.

It’s complete with lightbulb shape

bulbs, testimonials from users, price

list, training manuals and liquids to

start small fires and put them out in

customers’ homes.

The Red Comet Company start-

ed in Denver in 1919. It made

several different types of fire extin-

guishers. The glass bulbs are called

grenades. Metal brackets fastened

to the wall held the grenade until it

was needed. When the grenade was

thrown on the fire, it broke open and

tried to put the fire out. The company

also made heat-activated brackets with

spring-loaded triggers that could break

the glass bulb to release the liquid. Ear-

ly grenades were filled with saltwater.

Later, carbon tetrachloride was used.

That substance was banned in 1980.

The U.S. military used Red Comet

fire extinguishers doing World War II.

After the war, the company hired sales-

men to sell Red Comet fire grenades

door-to-door. The company is in busi-

ness, now in Englewood, Colorado. It

no longer manufactures fire extinguish-

ers but sells and services other brands

of extinguishers and equipment.
