Cass County Fair 4-H Auction
Cass County Fair 4-H Auction Supporters (family, friends, businesses, alumni) are invited to show support for Cass County 4-Hers by attending one of two 4-H auctions held during the Cass County Fair.
• The 4-H Livestock Auction starts at 3 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, August 12, in the livestock barn. Livestock judging awards will be presented to the 4-Hers before the auction at 2:45 p.m. The Cass County 4-H Council clerks this premium sale which is held for market animals only. Each exhibitor is allowed to sell one animal of each species as premium only, meaning dollars per head not cents per pound. Exhibitors retaining ownership will only receive the premium from the sale. Exhibitors of shipped animals will receive the premium from the buyer in addition to the sale proceeds from the buyer of the animal.

Think you can fish 24 Hours straight on September 7 & 8, 2012? We think you can, too!
Join park/lake clean-up on that Saturday, volunteers needed.
The Recycled Fish 24 Hour Fish-A-Thon is anglers fishing around the clock and around the country to raise awareness for the problems facing our fisheries, and money to help solve those problems.
Our lakes, streams and seas are in trouble. It is the result of many things, from over-consuming water to over-harvest of fish to pollution to invasive species. Many of the main issues come from problems in our broader environment because “Our Lifestyle Runs Downstream.”
Anglers – people who love to fish – are the first to notice, because we spend time on the water observing our surroundings. Problems in our environment often show up first in our waters – it all runs downstream. We’re doing something about it with the 24 Hour Fish-A-Thon.
We’re standing up as not just users of our natural resources, but as stewards. We’re raising the flag for simple things anybody can do to ensure healthy waters for fish and wildlife – and for each of us.
Think you can fish 24 Hours straight on September 7 & 8, 2012? We think you can, too!

For Immediate Release: The Annual Call for Legislative Page Applications
August 3, 2012, Lincoln—Every year the legislature is supported by a group of bright and energetic college students. The students are selected to serve as legislative pages. Pages are often interested in or curiosity about state government. Some have gone on to become state senators, while many others have continued to work in the public sector after they graduate from college.
Pages perform valuable services for the legislature, such as helping with preparations for public hearings, assisting senators during committee meetings, and monitoring procedural issues and controlling microphones in the Chamber during floor debate. I was delighted to meet and work with the pages for the first time this year. They clearly have a great opportunity to learn about our legislative process and receive a real insider’s perspective on how the Nebraska Legislature conducts its business. While performing their important duties, I observed that the pages still have a lot of fun and talk about the friendships they develop.
The deadline for submitting page applications and letters of recommendation for the 2013 legislative session is Friday, September 28th at 5:00 pm. The Page Selection Committee will meet in mid-October to choose individuals to fill the vacant positions. Pages work four-hour shifts and must be able to work 20 hours a week during the session. The 2013, 90-day session will begin on January 7h and continue through early June. The hourly wage for first-year pages will be approximately $9.50 per hour, and returnees will be paid $9.85 per hour. In many instances pages may be eligible to receive college credits for their legislative service.
If you are a full-time Nebraska college student with at least a 2.5 grade point average and would like to learn more about becoming a page for the Nebraska Legislature, please contact Kitty Kearns at (402) 471-2304 or send her an email at kkearns@leg.ne.gov You may also contact my office, and we will be happy to send an application form to you.
The Selection Committee chose a student page from the second legislative district in four of the past six years. I would be very proud to see another page from our district on the floor of the legislature during the 2013 session.
I am always interested in hearing your comments by mail, phone or email.
