From Nebraska DMV: "The passage of LB 163 in 2011 tasked the DMV

with the development and implementation of an electronic system for

accepting and processing applications for handicapped parking

permits from allowed health care providers. This process is intended to

eventually replace the city clerk and county treasurer involvement in the

issuance process." Ask you Dr. if they have this service available.

If they do, they can apply online in your presence, and you will get

the permit a lot faster!

CAN YOU IDENTIFY THIS BOY?

Fire Chief Vodicka wants to remind all residents that open burning of

leaves, trash, etc., is no longer permitted in Unadilla and is subject to fines.

Please consider your neighbor's health conditions.

On a related note, the Board would ask that you not dump hot coals at

the burn pile. Last week someone did just that, and started the whole

pile on fire. This was not only dangerous, since it was unplanned and

unattended, it was also illegal! Please, think about the consequences

of your actions!

The Travis Burkman Benefit

This letter is on behalf of the Travis Burkman Family. Travis, husband of Karla West, is a 35 year old loving husband and father of two who has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Brain Cancer. As part of the fundraising team for the Travis Burkman Benefit, I am here seeking donations.

On December 26, 2009, Travis had a seizure while holding his twin two year old sons. A subsequent MRI showed a tumor followed by the most devastating news of all, Stage 3 Astrocytoma Cancer which a biopsy confirmed. Travis had been an otherwise healthy and active 33 year old husband and father. On February 2, 2010, Travis had the tumor removed during an eight hour surgery.

In January 2012, Travis noticed infection type symptoms around the scar on his scalp. As a result, Travis had surgery to remove a portion of his skull. During this surgery, the doctor took a biopsy the area where the tumor had been removed. He then prescribed intravenous antibiotic treatments. Travis had to function without part of his skull for three months while he received these treatments. Unfortunately, those results confirmed the Cancer was back and this time it was a Stage 4 Glioblastoma. At that time Travis began a treatment plan of taking an oral chemotherapy pill & having MRI scans every 2 months to check for change.

On August 9, 2012, Cancer growth was detected which meant the chemotherapy pill was no longer working. Currently, Travis is experiencing frequent seizures, immobility of his right hand, arm, leg, and foot as well as difficulties with speech. At this time he is no longer able to work.

Family and close friends of Travis are hosting a benefit to help him and his family with medical and living expenses. The Travis Burkman Benefit will be held on Friday, October 19, 2012 at Heidelberg's North Bar & Grill. There will be a live band, silent auction, raffle and 10% of all proceeds from food and beverage purchases that evening will be contributed to the benefit.

In order to make this event a success, we are looking to businesses for support. We are asking for a donation of any item, service, or gift card you would be willing to supply. If you prefer to contribute a monetary gift instead, the Travis Burkman Donation Fund has been set up and contributions can be made at or mailed to any Union Bank location. Please know any contribution would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for supporting the Travis Burkman Family!
