NE: ‘The Chocolate Life’ to Air on NET NET’s newest television documentary “Nebraska: The Chocolate Life” is a decadent journey about the sweets we love. It premieres on NET, Nebraska’s PBS & NPR Stations, at 8 p.m. CT on Friday, Feb. 8. For most of its history, chocolate was consumed as a bitter beverage, but with the addition of cane sugar, it became a celebrated confection. “Nebraska: The Chocolate Life” traces the history of chocolate, follows its journey from pod to package and takes viewers across the state to meet passionate chefs and creative craftsmen who put their signature stamp on this ancient treat. The documentary visits chocolate makers and chocolate lovers in several communities, including Columbus, Greenwood, Kearney, Lincoln, Omaha, Sidney and Tekamah in Nebraska, and Kansas City, Mo. In Greenwood, Kevin Baker started Baker’s Candies in 1986, and it is now a family-run operation. In 2017, the company produced as much as 400,000 pounds of chocolate, resulting in at least 30 million of its famous meltaway candies. At the Mill Coffee and Tea in Lincoln, Shinya Takahashi, associate professor of nutrition and health science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, sells Nama Choco chocolates he prepares in a special kitchen in his mother-in-law’s basement. The Japanese treats are a way for Takahashi to bring a taste of home to family and friends in Nebraska, especially for the Valentine’s Day holiday. Also in Lincoln, explore the city’s fascinating chocolate history with historian Ed Zimmer and longtime Russell Stover employee Margaret Lehl. The two share stories about the former Russell Stover factory in the Haymarket. At Christopher Elbow. Chocolates in Kansas City, Mo., viewers can see handpainted and airbrushed chocolates that often take days to make. Now a premiere chocolatier who creates bonbons and truffles, Christopher Elbow has a degree in restaurant and business management from UNL. During several short segments of the documentary, he discusses the ancient history of chocolate and shares the basics of growing, producing and storing it. Susie Robison of Tekamah started her love affair with chocolate as a single mother making and selling candles with her kids. Today, she’s expanded her business to include a floral shop, boutique, restaurant, bakery and Serendipity Chocolates. Robison describes how she makes all of her chocolates with real cream, real butter and “real love.” Cup of Coa is a luxury hot chocolate, made with all natural ingredients. It’s produced in Nebraska and hand-packed in Kearney at Barista’s Daily Grind. Business owner Jasmin McGinnis explains that she keeps the recipe for the tasty hot chocolate mix under wraps, while her non-coffee drinking customers appreciate it being on the menu. In Sidney, viewers meet a chocolate making duo offering their signature sweets just twice a year – on Valentine’s Day and Christmas. At Mueller’s Fine Chocolates, fondant made by Bertha Mueller and her daughter Pam Uhl, comes in as many as 60 different flavors. For just the cost of postage, the company mails its chocolates to fans in the U.S. and around the world. Melissa Stephens of Omaha explains how she went from making handmade chocolate cherries to pay for her doctorate degree to having her store, The Cordial Cherry, garnering attention from Oprah Winfrey and NBC’s “Today Show.” Stephens has designed more than 200 cordials, including her favorite, the snowman. In addition to stories about chocolate concoctions across the state, “Nebraska: The Chocolate Life” explores how chocolate brings people together. In Columbus, chocolate inspired author Deb Burma wrote the women’s Bible study “Living a Chocolate Life,” and developed a themed event, using recipes and chocolate as a way to “break down walls.” On radio Thursday, Feb. 7 and Friday, Feb. 8, NET will explore more about the decadent story of chocolate, plus offer gifts to share with those you care about, including cordial cherries, flowers, DVDs of “Nebraska: The Chocolate Life” and tickets to a sweet chocolate tasting event on Saturday, April 27, at Course Restaurant on the Lincoln campus of Southeast Community College. “Nebraska: The Chocolate Life” repeats at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 9 and 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 10 on NET..

(45) The Phonograph-Herald • St. Paul, NE. JH Boys Basketball. The St. Paul Boy’s Junior High Basketball Team played at Wood River last Monday night, January 28, with the seventh grade losing 30-18 and the eighth grade winning 33-28. “In the seventh grade game it seemed like the players were literally out in space. We just simply looked like we weren’t ready to play. We fell behind 13 to 9 at the half but we really struggled to score. In the third quarter the cats were outscored 32 so you can see that it was a very ugly quarter. In the fourth quarter Wood River got hot and outscored the wildcats 14-7 to put the game away,” commented Coach Rick Peters. Scoring for the cats were Sam Wells with 12, Ashton Meinecke 4, and Kyler Sack 2. “In the eighth grade game the cats started out strong outscoring Wood River 13-3 after one quarter, but then we got sloppy with our passing which allowed Wood River to outscore the cats 15 to 6 in the second quarter. The cats lead was a mere 19-18 at the half. In the third quarter we played much better defense as we held Wood River to 0 points and the cats scored 5 to take a 24-18 lead after three quarters. The fourth quarter saw the Eagles get to within 2 but the cats managed to hang on,” stated Peters. Leading the way for the cats was Espen Goettsche with 13, Bryce Knapp with 9, Mason Anderson and Zach Hirschman each had 4, and Luke Porter added 3. Overall the cats are now 3 and 1 on the year. The St. Paul boys junior high basketball teams both competed in the Hastings St. Cecilia Tournament this past weekend. The seventh graders played first and had a hard fought game with Doniphan Trumbull. The cats and the Cardinals battled to a 4-4 tie after one quarter as both teams struggled to get anything going on offense. In the second quarter the cats managed to score 11 to Doniphan’s 6 and the cats held a 15 to 9 lead at the half. In the third quarter the game tightened up as the Cardinal’s outscored the cats 6-3 to cut the lead to 3 after the third quarter 1815. “We were just simply missing to many free throw as after three quarters we were a miserable 3-14 and this is why the game remained close. In the fourth quarter we were 4-7 from the line and cats outscored the cardinal’s 10-6 to make the final score 28-21. I told the kids that they played really good defense and that is what won the game for them. Scoring for the cats went like this: Sam Wells 15, 5 for Ashton Meinecke, Isaac Hagen 4, 2 for Shane Kosmicki, and 2 for Kyler Sack. Sam really played well and he scored 6 of his game high 15 in the fourth quarter including going 4-5 from the line. The seventh grade then had to take on a very good Hastings St. Cecilia team and we simply did not play well. We looked a little tired and sluggish and quickly fell behind 9-0 before we got on the board. After the first quarter we fell behind 13-2 and we. just simply could not gain any ground. We had problems handling the ball, passing the ball, and we could not make anything as well. We were down 22-9 at the halftime and we did cut it down to 10 at one time in the third quarter but it was just too much of a gap to overcome. In the second half the cats were only outscored 9-8 so you can see that we played better in the second half especially on defense. The cats were led in scoring by Ashton Meinecke who was coming off the flu bug and really fought hard to play two games, he had 7, followed by Sam Wells with 6, Shane Kosmicki 4. The final score was 31-17. The cats finished in second place and even though we didn’t play very well in the last game it was fun to watch them compete and play hard,” said Peters. The eighth grade team had two trillers as both games came down to a final three point attempt for the final outcome. In the first game against Doniphan Trumbull the cats fell behind early trailing 13-8 after one and then trailing 25-14 at the half. “We made some adjustments at halftime and then the game began to tighten up gradually. The cats cut into the lead and trailed 2923 after three quarters. We began to get the ball to the high post and were making some shots. In the fourth quarter the cats kept gradually creeping closer and we managed to get to 3433 with about a minute to go. The cats were forced to foul and Doniphan made both free throws to take a 36-33 lead. The cats had one more chance as we had the ball with 4.7 seconds to go and got the ball to Bryce Knapp who weaved his way through the defense and put up a three point shot that came up short. I was really proud of the kids effort as we could have given up after the first half but we simply did not. This group is improving as we go and that is fun to watch. Scoring for the cats went as follows: Mason Anderson 11, 6 for Luke Porter, 6 for Bryce Knapp, 5 for Sam Kramer, 3 for Zach Hirschman, and 2 for John Placke. We were without the services of Espen Goettsche who was gone with the flu-bug. In the third and fourth place game the cats stormed out to a 16 to 10 lead at the half only to see the Wood River Eagles fight back in the second half and actually taking a 25 to 23 lead with two minutes to go. The cats responded by scoring the last 5 points as Zach Hirschman scores along with Mason Anderson, and then Luke Porter made a big free throw to put us up by three with 9 seconds to go. The Eagles tried desperation three but the shot hit high off the glass and the cats had another win. We could have helped ourselves out at the free throw line as the cats were 3-11 which is going to have to improve. It was our scoring balance and our defense that allowed us to prevail as the scoring went like this: Luke Porter 7, Mason Anderson 7, Bryce Knapp 5, Zach Hirschman 5, Sam Kramer 2, and John Placke with 2,” concluded Peters..

Much of the credit for the success of the Pawnee Scouts goes to the leaders. North and his brother Capt. Luther North were among the great figures of the Old West. Frank probably was unexcelled in his knowledge of the Indians and his ability to get the utmost of them. Luther, while not the leader his brother was, had a reputation as one of the best shots in the West and was a good man to have in a tight place. The Norths were really a pioneer Nebraska family, arriving in the territory in 1855, a year after it was organized. They lived in Omaha, but in three years moved up the Platte Valley to a point where Columbus is now located. After the Pawnee Scouts were mustered out of the service, the North brothers started ranching on the Dismal River, in partnership with their old friend Buffalo Bill Cody. The Norths managed the ranch,. Palmer Public Schools. OPEN HOUSE Friday, February 8th. " ($" ) !" % %" # " & $ $"# %$ $ " ) &$ ) % $ %# $ %" % -,

(51) . Page 5 that we could spend weeks discussing the idea. So although I believe I had the votes to pass my amendment, I decided to table it in the interest of saving time. Among the bills I introduced, many of which I hope to discuss in future columns, several relate to property tax relief. My most comprehensive property tax relief proposal is LB 314, which seeks to raise revenue from income, sales, and excise tax sources to replace property taxes. And obviously, as we try to put together a package to do what Nebraskans are demanding, it’s easy to upset various groups. I do want to address the only substantial complaint I’ve received relative to LB 314, which is the claim by craft brewers that they are unfairly being singled out. We have a property tax crisis in our state—Nebraskans are desperate for property tax relief. And developing a proposal to provide that relief is not an easy task. The alcohol excise tax component of the bill is roughly 12% of the revenue generated by the bill. The bill also targets high income earners, the cigarette excise tax, a variety of sales tax exemptions, and an increase in the sales tax rate, among other items. In. other words, I’m attempting to gain revenue from a wide variety of sources. As for the alcohol tax, my original intent was to utilize the existing excise tax system, and raise it by an amount that equals roughly 10 cents per drink. My thought was that 10 cents per drink would be manageable for all involved, and would be a cost that could be passed on. And note that this provision does NOT single out any one aspect of our alcohol industry. This excise tax applies to all manufacturers and distributors whose product is sold in the state of Nebraska. I do feel that an increase in the alcohol excise of roughly 10 cents a drink is a fair, reasonable and responsible way of helping to alleviate the property tax burden on hardworking Nebraskans. But in accessing revenue sources, I do not want to create substantial negative consequences for any one segment of our business community. Because of the concerns expressed to me by the craft beer industry, I will strive for a result here that will protect our small, homegrown businesses. But at the same time, rest assured that I will continue to push for new revenue to offset the property tax burden on all Nebraskans..

We were able to press them forcing many quick shots and turnovers and played really efficiently. I thought we did a nice job of attacking them and doing what we were wanting to in the fourth. We missed a few bunnies and a couple of open threes that could have put us over the top. This was also the first game for quite awhile that we didn’t shoot pretty well from the line, as we went 15-27 for the game and 3-11 in the fourth. Those are big things in these types of games especially when you are playing from behind and playing against a really hot team. We need to get off to a better start and not dig ourselves into a hole. We have a big stretch of games this next week and will look to get back on track,” commented St. Paul’s Head Coach Derek Reinsch. St. Paul was at Centura in a make-up game on Monday night, at home against Ravenna on Tuesday and will host Holdrege on Saturday in their final home contest of the season.. den Knapp six, and Grant Turek three. St. Paul was 16-25 (64%) from two-point range; 5-16 (31.2%) from three point-range; 15-27 (55.5%) from the free throw line; had 24 rebounds and 15 turnovers. “Tonight we didn’t get off to a good start against a very hot shooting Wood River team that was runner up in the Louplatte Conference Tourney. We came out a little flat and Wood River jumped on us hitting four three’s in the opening quarter. We did a nice job of battling but it just took us way to long to relax and settle into things. Our press was ineffective in the first half and we just gave up too many open threes and easy shots. I thought we could have played with more intensity. We really took off in the fourth quarter and showed a lot of fight. We played with great intensity and finally got out. Lady Jays Play Four Games in Five Days. Page 7.

Angel McKoski had 14 points and two rebounds; McKenzie McKoski ten points; Merel Kraaijvanger eight points and two rebounds; and Kiaya Radke two points and six rebounds. “This was a great game for our team.

They never gave up and that is why I am beyond proud of them. For once we played a team that was kind of in the same boat as us. McPherson County had only six girls on their team and we could relate to them in a lot of other ways as well. I am looking forward to the last week of the regular season game!, concluded Coach Morrow..

We gave up multiple offensive rebounds, and sent them to the free throw line 14 times where they hit 12 of them. Then you look at the third quarter and our defense lead to great offense for us. They only shot two free throws in the third quarter and we kept them off the offensive glass. This allowed us to get ourselves back in the game and take a five point lead going into the fourth quarter. Before we went back out on the court we talked about how we need to finish the game. Continue to battle, box them out, be patient on offense. While we did this for the most part, Ord was able to go on a run and take the lead. But our girls responded and took it right back. We were up 1 with a minute and a half left and all we needed was one stop so that we could get the ball back and close out the game with free throws. Unfortunately we fouled them and sent them to the free throw line where they hit the first free throw. They missed the second but we were unable to get the rebound and they hit a jump shot to go up two points. We exchanged a couple of possessions on offense and we hurt ourselves with a couple of turnovers, but we still gave ourselves an opportunity to tie the game at the buzzer with a great look at a three pointer from Sydney Wells. Although we didn't finish the conference tournament like we wanted to, our girls fought the whole time and gave themselves a chance to win which I’m very proud of. Looking forward to next week as we look to finish the season strong,” concluded Coach Runcie. St. Paul was at Centura on Monday, hosted Ravenna on Tuesday and will host Holdrege Saturday for their last regular season game.. $ % $)
