Milan Brehm just returned home from Peacham, Vermont, where he
attended the wedding of his nephew, Travis Fentiman, and
Anne-Marie Trudeau, on Saturday, October 2nd. Travis is the
youngest son of Marilyn & Harry Wimer of Lincoln, and Dan
Fentiman of Auburn. Travis' grandparents are Margaret Brehm
of Lincoln, and the late Richard Brehm and the late Glen and
Verda Fentiman. Travis and Anne-Marie will be living in
Greenville, SC. Milan said the fall colors were beautiful,
but, due to the hurricanes, it rained a lot of the time he was there.
Gramma Christie Brehm couldn't go because she was at home
spoiling her new grandson, Aiden Santiago, who was born
Thursday, September 23, to Erin and Carlos Velazco,
who live in Syracuse now. Eight pounds, eleven ounces, and
20 1/2 inches long. And he has lots of dark hair - Tonya is
going to have to give him his first haircut before he is a
month old! Big brother says: "Baby Aiden is a cute baby brother."
Uncle Randy is so glad to have an up and coming
little hay crew some day!

Southeast Nebraska Development District (SENDD) has
left the Village Office information on the Regional Owner
Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program. Applications
are due by November 15, 2010, and will be processed on a
first-come, first served basis until funds are depleted. The goals
of the program are to increase the attractiveness of communities
in Butler, Otoe, Polk, and Saunders Counties, prevent the spread
of blight, increase the number of habitable dwelling units,
promote continued home ownership, discourage abandonment
or neglect of homes, and provide assistance to those persons of the
greatest need. (Rental units and mobile homes are NOT eligible
for assistance.) Copies and information are available during
normal business hours.

The Community Foundation will again be raffling off a
one-of-a-kind .22 rifle for Groundhog Day. Tickets can be
purchased at the Village Office, Countryside Bank, or from
any Foundation member.

Jean Lucas, Lois Ebert, Sandi Kimbell, and Alberta Block.
The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.

been updated to include the books which are currently on
the shelves for loan. A number of duplicates and outdated
books were deleted from the system. More details will be
forthcoming regarding what records will be kept in the
Library. Peggy also reported that she had visited with someone
from the Nebraska Library Commission. Ideas for events, classes,
story times, etc., were discussed. The sign for in front of the
Library will be ordered at a later date, pending final plans for
the building. A Grand Opening will be held in the near future.
In order to best serve the community, a short questionaire

for the most interested people. Until then, the hours will be
4:00 - 6:00 pm on Tuesdays.

hours getting the Library ready to open as a Community Library.
