Corinne reports there was a great crowd at the first Renegades game last night (Monday) at the park. They won against Waverly!!! The field and the park looked great! The hot dogs and food were really good! And running the concession stand were former Unadillians, Gail and Vanessa! Their next game at home will be Thursday night at 6:00 p.m.

FLAGS FLAGS FLAGS

by Energy Cub Reporter Bob Wilhelm

Over the past few months there has been a lot of conversation gernerated due to the activities preceding the installation of the Tall Grass Energy Pipeline. Most recently yellow flags and wooden stakes have showed up along the route the pipeline will be taking. The stretch going through the Unadilla area is coming from the Council Bluffs area to Beatrice and beyond. The company has said the pipeline will soon carry CO2 from the first of 11 ethanol plants connected to its pipeline. It will connect to areas in Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado before arriving at a sequestration site in Wyoming.
