yours in working order. I've been admiring the green one

bank - Renee, thanks for being an inspiration!

On Saturday, April 23, Abby Vodicka participated in the

Governor's annual Easter Egg Hunt. During her visit she

personally was introduced to Governor Heineman and

First Lady Sally Ganem. During the Easter egg hunt she

collected quite a stash of goodies. Also during this trip,

Abby and grandparents toured the state capitol just before

the hunt.

NEWS FROM 100 YEARS AGO

Friday, 5-5-1911, The Otoe Union:

Unadilla's population in 1900 was 243; in 1910 it was

209. There was a push to rebuild the new buildings on

Main Street in a straight line. Most merchants were working

out of temporary buildings. A son was born to Edward

Smack near Hopewell. Ordinance #70 was passed

stating that any building erected in Block 39 (Main Street)

must be constructed of brick, stone, or other incombustible

material and have a fire-proof roof.
