2016 King & Queen voting has begun!

Our electricity was out from 1:30 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. on Thursday,

1-7, and the outage area was quite large. Kudos to the OPPD

crew for their work, it was a miserable day to be outside.

OCGS held their meeting Saturday, 1-9, at the Syracuse

Library. Election of officers were held and presentations

were given by Earl Underwood and Daniel Harder. There

was much discussion on the Nebraska Rural Schools Conference

we will be co-hosting with Peru State College in July.

New officers are: President, Betty Stuckenholz; Vice-President,

Mona Kuhlenengel; retaining their office is Secretary, Barb

Wilhelm, and Treasurer, Linda Parde. Next meeting will be 

February 20th at the Unadilla Community Resource Room.

All are welcome.

Condolences to the Richard & Kathy Lechner families

on the passing of Richard's mother, Joan K. Lechner.

She will be laid to rest in Park Hill Cemetery, Syracuse.

You know we will have a big snow eventually this winter.

Dwight & Arlin would like to remind Unadilla residents to

move their vehicles off the street when they are plowing

snow. Main street, and exit/enter streets are done first.

Then north/south streets, the first being past the Community

Center. Next the east/west streets, and lastly, the alleys.

Thanks in advance for your patience and help.

This time of year there are always lots of water problems.

It is a good time to remind the public that of all the earth's

water, 97% is salt water found in oceans and seas. Only

1% of the earth's water is available for drinking, and 2%

of all water is frozen. How lucky we are here in Nebraska!

NEWS FROM 100 YEARS AGO

Friday, 1-14-1916, The Otoe Union:

"My Stock of Winter Underwear is still large. Especially

in Men's and Boy's Union Suits, Prices are right. W.F. Hair."

School was closed due to the severe cold. The day began

at -8 degrees and ended at -21 degrees. Also, the rural

carriers did not go out and deliver mail. Several residents

were suffering from "the grippe". (According to the

dictionary, "A disease like or the same as, influenza, 

it's first known use of the word was in 1776.)
