4th of July Celebration

Yes, 4th of July was last week, but it fell on a Tuesday which didn't give me very much time to get all the photos ready for the website...sooo...here is the full parade from the Murdock 4th of July Celebration. It was warm, not as hot as some years, it was fun, it was full of patriotic spirit and red, white and blue Americana and it was wet.

Congratulations Miss Elmwood

Elmwood-Murdock FBLA Recognized with Top Honors at National Leadership Conference in AnaheimMore than 9,600 of America’s best and brightest high school students traveled to Southern California to establish their own Legacy of Leadership as they competed for top honors in several business competitions.

The Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) National Leadership Conference was held June 28–July 2 inAnaheim. Participants from across the United States and abroad attended this exciting conference to enhance their business skills, expand their networks, and participate in more than 70 business and business-related competitive events.

Jac Clements received 8th place in Accounting 1, and the team of Payton Frahm, Katrina Hansen and Whitney Koehn placed in the top 15 for their Community Service Project.Many other Knights qualified for the National Leadership Conference in California due to their success at the state level contest this past spring.

The group earned the National FBLA Outstanding Chapter and Chapter Challenge awards. To earn these awards, the chapter had to complete numerous activities during the year in the areas of membership/chapter management, community/school service, and education/progress. E-M officers and advisers then compiled a large portfolio of their work for national officials.

The Knights also secured Gold Seal of Merit recognition, which is awarded to FBLA chapters that rank among the best in the country.While students spent several days at FBLA educational workshops and competitive events, they also found time for recreational activities.

The String Beans are coming back!!

This will be EPIC!!! For those who don't know who the String Beans are...like my brother...they are not the Wiggles.

Here is the info from their website:

"From pop and country to rap and rock n’ roll, The String Beans perform a wide variety of original, family-friendly songs about all the things kids love: animals, cartoons, food, science, sports and lots more!

Each show is hilarious, inclusive and spontaneous, and each catchy tune is designed to get every audience dancing and singing along!

Since forming in 2004, The String Beans have released 10 albums, appeared on dozens of radio and television programs, and delighted thousands of fans, becoming Nebraska’s favorite entertainers for pre-school through elementary-aged audiences, not to mention parents, teachers, and communities.

The String Beans perform at fairs, festivals, libraries, schools, churches, museums, zoos and more! In their hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska, the “Beans” sold out the Lied Center for Performing Arts and consistently set new attendance records at the Lincoln Children’s Museum’s “Music & Mozzarella” concert series.

The band has also performed for the Governor’s Arts Awards Ceremony and recently completed a tour of the southeast United States with performances in Missouri, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida."

Time for the Good Neighbor Awards

We have a lot of people in the Elmwood-Murdock area who help make our community vibrant, active and a better place to live. If you know one of those people, nominate them to be forever recognized. 

This award goes back to 2004 and just take a look at all the good people who have been recognized.

 Elmwood #LittleFreePantry

The Little Free Pantry is located between Hufstader Chiropractor, the Elmwood Meat Market, and the Village Hall. 

You may not get out as often, but people are still in need of emergency supplies and cupboards are bare in some Elmwood homes. 

Earlier this month received an email from a former Elmwood resident, Ralph Parish. He would love to hear how you liked his short story and if you have any memory of Miss Kunz as a teacher. 

This will be a multi-part story series, so make sure to come back each week.

Miss Kunz taught First Grade through Third Grade for more years than I could then remember. She taught four of the five Parish children.

Read Part 1     Part 2      Part 3    Part 4   Part 5  Part 6 

Why I Love the Letter g - Part 7

On the wall just above the blackboards the twenty-six letters of the alphabet, wearing light tan on a black background, marched along the wall accompanied by the digits, zero through nine.  They were repeated on the side wall but this time in script.

One of the things that puzzled me was the lower case letter “g”. We knew the alphabet and numbers and I would study the letter g and wonder why it had that little line and dot on its forehead as if it had curly hair and why did it set on a squashed “o”.

We didn’t print it that way. We used a small circle on the line, mind you, with a downstroke going below the line and the downstroke had a left hook to complete the letter. Why did this “g” have such an elaborate form? No one prints like that.

Countless times I would study this peculiar letter but I never asked for an explanation. For a long time, the letter ”g“ gave me a wearied felling. I saw it everywhere and it rarely failed to produce the same effect. 

The terms, case, and font, had yet to be introduced and I don’t recall having asked any questions.  That was a flaw for which I have only myself to blame. That flaw would have more serious consequences some years later.

Did you see Santa in Elmwood? He was here and greeting over 100 kids at the Elmwood Firehall from young to old. I'm being indulgent here, but these are my Grandbabies and their first visit to Santa. People also shopped at Bits N Pieces which supports our local community in many ways. If you need Christmas decorations head over there. You need stockings, ornaments, clothing, purses, frames, greeting cards etc. 

The day was packed with activities opening with the Pancake breakfast to the Soup Supper at the Community Center. The Craft Fair gave an opportunity for people to buy local and support small businesses.

The Starry Night Parade was fantastic as always, it gets bigger and bigger every year and my favorite part is seeing Susie Vogler and her miniature horses. She did not disappoint this year either. Here is a video of the parade, it shows every entry, but isn't as long as the entire parade.

Operation Santa

The Elmwood Giving Tree is located in the foyer of the Clements and Drevo Law and Insurance offices on Main Street. Tags are on the tree and ready to be chosen for shopping. There are 28 tags this year please stop by, take a tag and shop for a child. 

It's sponsored by the Christian Church. It is for the kids of area families.  Each year the school determines who the letters go to and the families send their wish lists to Kris Schrader. 

Each child has a tag on the tree. No names, just boy or girl, and age with the items they asked for. Requests are wide-ranging.... clothes, gift cards, games, toys, etc.

The gifts are to be returned by December 13 (unwrapped) to the insurance office. If you have any questions you can ask Penny Richter can answer any questions (Families will pick up their gifts on December 16 at the church.

Elmwood Park Ribbon Cutting
 

The park officially opened with a red ribbon gala that was attended by a huge crowd. It was so much fun to watch the kids running around and playing. Thank you to Marie Gregoire for organizing the opening and being the emcee.

 There is the next generation "hamster wheel" at the park. If you remember the old hamster wheel and how much fun it was then you should try out the spinning tulips and spinning cage. I don't know what the official name of it is, I'm sure Julie knows. Next week I'll show you it's NOT just for kids.

Kathy (Taylor) Goerlitz

I was born in New York City and lived in Manhattan until I was 16. My family moved upstate to Monroe, NY, located in Orange County, which is about an hour North of the city. I have been married twice and have two sons; Curt Taylor of Harriman, NY and Charles Taylor of Denver, CO. I have four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

The first phase of my professional career was spent at Frontier Communications in Monroe, NY. After 22 years, I retired and moved to Maine where my husband and I owned a summer home. We purchased a home and lived in Dexter, Maine, about 8 miles from our summer place. The second phase of my professional career was spent working for Wal-Mart in Palmyra, Maine. I worked there for 17 years before retiring again.

My years of public service began in Monroe, NY, when I joined the Monroe Volunteer Ambulance Corps. I am a lifetime member and have served for nearly 51 years, 28 of which were in active service. I responded to over 2,500 calls during my active tenure. I led the organization as Chief Dispatcher and then later Vice President and President.

I further served my community on the Mombasha Fire Company, also in Monroe, NY, as the Treasurer, Vice President, and President. I earned lifetime membership from this organization as well, and my active tenure was 32 years.

While living in Maine, my husband and I were active members of the Kiwanis Club. I served the Town of Dexter on the planning board for many years, as well. I ran for and was elected to the Mayo Regional Hospital board in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine. I served on this board for 10 years.

My husband passed away in Maine in 2010. In 2015, I decided to sell my property in Maine and move to Nebraska. I arrived in July of 2016 and moved in with my sister, Maggie Smith. I lived with her until recently, when I moved into the apartments on Main St. In Nebraska, I am closer to my son and grandchildren in Denver. I enjoy spending time with my niece, Allison Meister, and her family.

I look forward to serving the community of Elmwood if given the opportunity to serve on its board. I bring a wealth of experience in public service and can help lead the board into the future.

 Brandon Collins

I was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, and grew up south of Greenwood where I learned to appreciate the value of living in a small town. I moved to Lincoln to attend college but continued to come to Elmwood to go to the roller rink, where I met my future wife, Mikaela Shrader. I moved to Elmwood in 2008.

While living in Lincoln was convenient, I missed the laid-back nature of a small town.Since moving to Elmwood, I have served as treasurer for the Elmwood Murdock Merchants Association and am currently on the board of the Elmwood Public Library. I plan on living in Elmwood for a very long time as I have loved living here for the past nine years and want my daughters Sophie (4) and Hadley (2) to grow up here. I could not imagine living anywhere else.

I graduated from Southeast Community College in the summer of 2006 with an Associates Degree in Business Administration that focused on Accounting. I pursued my Bachelors’ Degree in Business Administration from Bellevue University and graduated in the winter of 2008.

My professional life has been spent in the accounting/finance field, most recently with the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services as the Business Manager for the Regional Centers located in Lincoln, Norfolk, and Hastings.

The nine years working for the state of Nebraska has taught me numerous skills I feel can help me be an efficient trustee for the Village of Elmwood. I am competent at setting and monitoring a budget; and I also have an open mind, which will serve me well because I understand the importance of listening to others and making decisions based on research and community consensus. I also see this as a great opportunity to meet more people in the community and to continue to make Elmwood a great place to raise a family.

 Trent Shrader

When I moved to Manhattan, KS to attend Kansas State University in 2008, I was sure that I would find an exciting and improved lifestyle away fromsmall-town Nebraska. True to my expectations, I made many friends, learned a great deal, and grew as a person during my 3 years as an undergraduate. However, I didn’t find a new home. I got married to my incredible wife Karen, who grew up in Murdock, in 2012. We came back to Nebraska for the wedding. Yet I still was not convinced that my future lay back in Elmwood. When I was accepted into veterinary school at KSU, I was confident that four more years in Kansas would make it feel more like home.

It wasn’t until Karen and I had our first son, Landon James, that I started to realize what I owed this small village. As many of you reading this may be aware, Landon was born with a terminal brain disease that caused severe seizures during his entire life. He passed away in 2014, at 14 months old. During those very difficult months, the Village of Elmwood put my family on its collective shoulders and helped us cherish the moments we had with our son and let him live with dignity. Not only did the community give their time and resources generously, but they gave us hope, which was in short supply during those days.

Reflecting on my own challenges during Landon’s life, I realize that every aspect of my character that helped us survive were traits I learned from watching my family, friends, and neighbors in Elmwood and the surrounding communities: my faith, determination, drive, and devotion to my family.

This opportunity to serve on the Board of Trustees is an opportunity to use my unique knowledge and experiences to serve the community to whom I owe all my current success and happiness. Guided by my own experiences, I want to see Elmwoodutilize our unique advantages to develop and grow in the coming years.

My primary goals, if elected, will be:
1.) Develop 5, 10, and20-year plans/goals for the village – To have a vision for the future
2.) Bring professional and steady conduct to the village leadership
3.) Seek new investments for our main street and bring growth to the community
4.) Develop incentives that encourage new families to move to Elmwood

I’m honored to have this opportunity to run for the Board of Trustees and I look forward to investing in the community, just as the community has invested in me.
