Veterans Day 2009

------------------------------------------
On Veterans Day
The story of the Declaration of Independence is one of the most
cherished and significant chapters in the history of America. The
document is a remarkable statement of revolutionary ideas and ideals
that had never before been featured on so prominent a stage. We
learned as schoolchildren the courage and character required of the
signers of that document: they mutually pledged their sacred honor and
their lives to its ideals. Those few dozen men rightly occupy a place
in our pantheon of heroes.
Somewhere in this great land today, young men and women are signing up
to serve in the armed forces. These men and women, whether they
realize it or not, are only the latest among millions of Americans
through the centuries who have pledged their sacred honor and their
lives to the defense of their country. This pledge, an echo and a
reminder of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, was made
before them by the veterans of the Gulf Wars, Afghanistan, Vietnam,
Korea, World War II, and every other era of war and peace since the
founding of the country.
These veterans, whether career military or citizen-soldiers who served
and then returned to civilian life, faced the ultimate sacrifice. On
Veterans Day we remember and honor all who have served. Each one of
them made the pledge; some were called to honor it with their lives,
others paid with pain and injuries, many came safely through. All were
changed by the experience.
America recognizes its veterans on this day. A quiet moment of
reflection is appropriate—but each of us should break that silence by
speaking our thanks to the veterans we know, for their service and
sacrifice.

Feed the Children
came to Louisville a couple of weeks ago, a semi loaded with 1200
boxes of food, hygiene products, and gift items arrived at the First
Christian Church , DOC in Louisville. the semi was sponored by Harold
and rita Sporrer of Manning Iowa and was a gift to the Cass County
Clergy Association to distribute to people in need in and around Cass
County.
This arrived at a perfect time of need for many who have been
or are being laid off of their places of employment. Harold Sporrer
stated that it was not his money, but the Lord's. He has been a
supporter of this effort in the past. We had many helpers in the form
of deliverers, cooks, unloaders and those who prayed for the needs of
our clients.
Our prayer is that we will be able to bring hope to those in troubled times

Nebraska Parks Bulletin
2010 Nebraska Hunting/Fishing Permit Fees
2010
will be bringing about some significant changes to permitting. All of the
common hunt/fish type permits will be issued through the electronic system,
even at external vendor locations. Some permit fee changes in summary:
The
Habitat Stamp for 2010 will be $20.00 (a $4.00 increase). This also means the Lifetime Habitat Stamp will go from $320
to $400 January 1, 2010.
The
Aquatic Habitat Stamp for 2010 will be $10.00 (a 2.50 increase)….note this adds
to the cost of Fishing permits (except the 1-day). So while no increase
to the Fishing permit fees were made, their costs will increase due to the
increase in the incorporated Aquatic Habitat Stamp.
Nonresident
Paddlefish Permits will increase $20 to the 2010 rate of $40.00
A
Nonresident Combination Hunt and Fish permit was created for a fee of
$120.00 (add the required $10.00 aquatic stamp and necessary $20.00
habitat stamp and the cost will be $150 plus the issue fee ($1.00 from NPC or
$2.00 from external agent).
Resident
Lifetime Furharvest permits were established with similar cost and age breaks
as the resident lifetime hunt permit.
Perhaps
one of the more dramatic and unprecedented moves was the creation of youth
deer, antelope and turkey permits at record low price of $5.00. This
price is for either resident or nonresident participants age 15 and
below. The goal is to increase interest and participation by young
hunters.
Changes
involving nonrefundable application fees for our new ‘lottery’ type permit
offerings. These new offerings that will become available next year,
might include such things as a ‘statewide’ elk permit or a multispecies permit
that would allow the harvest of a deer, 2 turkeys, an antelope and perhaps in
some cases an elk. The actual offerings will be determined in wildlife
regulations. These permits would be offered in a similar fashion as the
Bighorn Sheep permit, where an individual can apply and be put in a drawing.

Otoe County Genealogical Society
The Otoe County Genealogical Society will hold its
November 12th meeting at the Morton-James Public Library. This meeting will
welcome all new members into the society, and will also cover topics of interest
concerning genealogical research in the Otoe County area. This meeting is open
to all who are interested in joining the society, or just wish to attend to
learn more about genealogical research in general.
During this meeting we will be conducting our
quarterly Genealogy Internet Workshop, where we will be introducing our members
to the valuable genealogical resources that are available on the Internet. This
workshop is designed to assist those researchers who are unsure of how to locate
their family's history online. So if you are new to the Internet and would like
assistance in this area, please stop by and join us in our free workshop. Also,
for those visitors that prefer to research their ancestors through more
conventional means, the library's Genealogical Reference Room will be open at
this time, and assistance will be provided by society members in this area as
well.
Our society meets on the second Thursday of every
month at 7:00 pm, and our meeting location alternates every other month between
the Otoe County Museum of Memories in Syracuse, and the Morton-James Public
Library in Nebraska City. To learn more about the society, please check out our
website, or contact the Morton-James Public Library for more
information.
