=======================================

 WHO I AM:  My name is Margaret Minchow, and I am running for re-election to the Louisville Board of Education.

CURRENT:  I live in Cedar Creek, Nebraska, and have lived here 17 years.  My husband of 24 years is Matt Minchow, and we have three children:  Noel – who lives in Omaha and is a junior at UNO.  Nathan is a sophomore at Louisville High School, and Olivia is a 7th grader at Louisville Middle School.

PAST:  I was born in Jacksonville, Florida, but spent most of my childhood in Columbus, Nebraska.  My father was in the United States Navy, and met my mother while stationed in Naples, Italy.  They married and moved to the United States.  She was 36 years old, and he was 22.  I am the 5th of 6 children.  After graduating from Columbus Scotus High School in 1982, I attended the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, which is where I met my husband.  I worked at various jobs while in school, and ended up at First National Bank of Omaha where I worked in the Human Resources Department.  I worked in Employment Services and later in Payroll.  I retired from the “work” force when we started a family, and have been a “stay at home” mother ever since.

WHAT I BELIEVE:  People ask me - “What are your objectives?”  and “Why do you want to be on the school board?”A clear voice – one that represents every aspect of our school and its students. Meaningful results involve the entire board, not just one member. We all must work together and arrive at  conclusions that serve our student body as it was meant to. Academics – the most important direction of our school, needs to be consistently brought to the forefront of any issues.  Activities – these are the backbone – are we serving our student body to the fullest extent that our school is capable of ?  These are questions I ask myself regularly.  Then of course, we have extra-curricular, which includes athletics – are our attentions fairly distributed?  We all hear the old saying - “...nobody ever said life is fair...”.  At school, and being on the board, this is one place where I can do my best to get there.  And I have.  And I will continue to do so.

Fiscal accountability: go to www.lpslions.org.  Then on the left click on Board of Education and then on Budget Items.  This is a summary of our 2012-2013 budget.

THE FUTURE:  I am hoping to be re-elected to our school board for another 4 year term.  I feel this is an ideal time-frame, to see implementation and fruition of goals set forth by our current board.  Success is a never-ending effort, but it is attainable and in many ways is currently being enjoyed by our students.  The challenges are not over, and of course, never will be.  We must continue to work toward those goals – which include safety procedures, the continued application of up-to-date technology, and student achievement.  These are required in order to produce a successful student body,  reach our goals, and continue to build our community. Genuine words and actions – this is critical for a capable and productive school board.

WANT MORE?  Call me – 402.234.2499

I sincerely thank you for your time.  I truly do appreciate it!

Louisville Heart Attack

1 year ago today

Last 11/1/2011 Louisville suffered the most devastating injury possible, the heart of Louisville our Main Street Louisville Hardware store burned down - leaving a scorched lot, and a 100 broken hearts.

Years prior there was that freak Halloween Snow storm that paralyzed the area, and I remember the only sound that morning was the cracking of branches, and the sound of Larry out in front shoveling his walk.

He cleared a spot so he could stack snow shovels, and people could gather This was appropriate, because the one place that people would gather on such a morning of stranded cars, was of course the Hardware Store.

There was a warmth, and a certainty about that place. It was our "Rock of Gibraltar" our steady monument to the people and businesses of Main Street Louisville.

It was were things got fixed, jokes got shared, all the latest doings were discussed. When we decided to create a Community Newsletter the original Editor was Hank the Hardware Cat. It was a given, that Hank would know all of the news, because he lived in the Hardware Store where all of Louisville Life was discussed. Example: http://www.louisvillenebraska.com/whatsnew020504.htm When Hank died it was a tragedy, but nothing like the loss of our Heart.

It has been one hell of a year, locally, nationally, internationally - it has been the toughest I can remember. The loss of our Hardware Store is the event that I will most remember.

The flames, the shock, the burned out lot. I believe that 2013 will be better than 2012, in so many ways. Hey things are looking up!
Our Lions had the best football season since 1998! Hang in there Louisville.
