'Ignorance is bliss', as the old saying goes, is mostly true, if you're a child. But, as an adult, it can sometimes have devastating repercussions. Ignorance means being unaware or uninformed about the facts. I admit that I’m ignorant on most things. Most people are ignorant. Few, if any, in this world truly know everything about everything. If I’m interested in something though, I do like to do some research on it or try to learn more about it, to see if I want to continue the pursuit or not.
One of my pet peeves is to have someone promise something, when they have little or no intention of keeping that promise. When my kids would run in and say, ‘Mom, promise me that………’, I’d stop them right there and tell them that I won’t promise ‘whatever’, without knowing what it entails, but I would promise them that I’d try to do it. Just a promise to try, but it was still a promise, so I’d try.
An oath is just that. A promise. Who, of our elected officials has taken ‘the oath’ to preserve and protect our nation's constitution and its citizens? Who has broken that promise? It's one thing for a person to promise to do something, if it can be fulfilled by only him or herself. However, it can quickly become just an empty promise, unfulfilled, when it's dependent upon many others to support it.
Election Day is coming up very soon. It would be shameful, as Ben Franklin said, if voters are unwilling to learn about those running for office that they intend to vote for, or against. First - learn the facts about who you'll vote for. If you're discouraged and disheartened by the way things are going now with current lawmakers, please check each candidate's own website or read the newspaper to see what their platform is. Don't take the word of all the negative ads you see or hear on TV, Facebook or opinion talk shows. There's an old saying that goes something like, 'you can't bring yourself up by putting someone else down'. The negative ads against a candidate says more about those who are actually paying for the ads while it badmouths the opponent.
Political parties' members, whether they're elected officials or private citizens, are not - and should not - act like sports teams or athletes. Our country's state of well-being is not a game to be 'won' or 'lost'. Our U.S. representatives should be elected to have the MAJORITY of the country's best interest at hand, regardless of race, religion, gender, age, ethnicity and yes, even political party affiliation. Our representatives' votes should not be bought or influenced by lobbyists, big business, foreign countries or for personal gain. If a vote seems to have been done, due to any of those 'reasons', you might want to re-think ever voting for that person again.
For a preview of your personal ballot for your area click here: https://ballotpedia.org/Sample_Ballot_Lookup?utm_source=ballotpedia&utm_campaign=sample_ballot_sidebar
Many answers to how politicians are voting might be revealed to you by also checking to see who's financially sponsoring the candidates and incumbents. The U.S. political parties, charitable organizations, and political action committees are the means used to keep campaigns alive and functioning. The Federal Election Commission at https://www.fec.gov/ might be able to shed some light on this for you.
For those elected who are already making policy, check out their voting records at https://www.govtrack.us/ to see what they're in support of. It will tell you if they were a 'nay' or 'yea' vote.
Another source to check lifetime voting records of United States senators and representatives is BallotPedia at https://ballotpedia.org/Lifetime_voting_records_of_United_States_Senators_and_Representatives.
Nebraska voters can find out about their candidates here: http://www.sos.ne.gov/dyindex.html
Yes, it’s a lot to digest, but don’t go blindly into the voting booth without doing your own investigating. If you know nothing about those running don’t blacken that oval next to their name, just because you’ve seen his or her name on a billboard, yard sign or commercial, without knowing anything about them.
Are you a volunteer for a local non-profit group getting ready to vote for new board members or will you be heading to the polls for the national elections in less than 3 weeks? You need to know who you’re voting for and why you would vote for that person.
Remember, to be so ignorant with so much knowledge at hand would be truly shameful - and that would really disappoint Old Ben.

Nebraska State Treasurer Don Stenberg is encouraging families of children age 12 and younger to enter the NEST 529 Fall Festivities Photo Drawing, a new scholarship opportunity offered by the Nebraska Educational Savings Trust. Stenberg is Trustee of NEST.
Families of children age 12 and younger are invited to submit photos of fall scenes and festivities, accompanied by short captions, by November 10. To enter, the photo must be taken by a child age 12 or younger or must feature a child 12 or younger, who would become the beneficiary of the NEST account should the photo be chosen.
Five randomly selected winners each will receive a $1,000 contribution to a NEST 529 college savings account. Entries are being accepted by mail and online at www.NEST529.com/scholarships. The drawing is being offered nationwide.
“While our earlier announcement said the drawing was open to families of children age 8 or younger, we wanted to make this scholarship opportunity available to as many families as possible and are broadening the appeal to families of children 12 or younger. At the same time, we want to stress the importance of starting to save for college when children are young and not waiting until children are in high school to begin thinking about how to pay for college,” Treasurer Stenberg said.
“We are excited to make this opportunity available to more families and to help families start saving for college or to increase the savings families already have invested,” Stenberg said. “As we enjoy the beautiful fall scenery and the cooler temperatures, we look forward to seeing the images of autumn through a child’s eyes or with a child in the scene.
“Photos of beautiful autumn days on college campuses, for instance, remind us of just why we are committed to NEST 529. We can easily picture our own children walking through autumn leaves on their way to class. Or, maybe, we can’t because the day seems so far away. For all of us, though, we know that by setting up NEST 529 accounts, we have taken the first steps toward the future,” Stenberg said.
Scholarship rules for the NEST 529 Fall Festivities Photo Drawing are available at www.NEST529.com/scholarships and www.treasurer.nebraska.gov/cs/scholarships.

ELECTION DAY is NOVEMBER 6, 2018
8 AM ~ 8 PM
If you're not happy with how we're currently being governed, and even if you are satisfied with it, you should realize that it's your duty and privilege to VOTE. This fall's elections could prove to be truly historic. Be a part of history!
There are no more excuses for not voting on election day. You also have the option to vote EARLY in person at the election office or by mail, but YOU MUST BE REGISTERED FIRST TO VOTE and registering to VOTE is SO EASY, but there are DEADLINES to meet!
To see who and what you have the right to vote for, and deadlines, check out the Nebraska Secretary of State's webpage here:
http://www.sos.ne.gov/elec/2018/elections.html
Below are the regulation guidelines from Nebraska's Secretary of State:
Voting Deadlines for Elections
"Secretary of State John Gale outlined deadlines regarding voter registration and early voting for the coming statewide elections.
Early Voting by mail for elections start 35 days prior to an election, while Early Voting in person at Nebraska County Election Offices starts 30 days prior to the Election.
Any registered voter can cast an Early Voting ballot.
Gale listed the following deadlines for the statewide elections:
• Mail-in voter registrations must be postmarked by the 3rd Friday preceding an election.
• Voter registration closes at motor vehicle offices, state agencies, and online through the Secretary of State’s website on the 3rd Friday preceding an election.
• In-person voter registration at County Election Offices ends at 6 p.m. the 2nd Friday preceding an election. This includes registration changes such as updating an address.
• Registered voters can make requests until the close of business the 2nd Friday preceding an election for Early Voting ballots to be mailed. The day before the election is the deadline for in-person Early Voting at County Election Offices.
• 8 p.m. Central Time / 7 p.m. Mountain Time Election Day, (the hour set for the polls to close), is the deadline for all Early Voting ballots to be returned to the County Election Office. The Secretary of State’s website provides detailed information regarding the voting process. The website includes the Nebraska Voter Registration Application form, an application to request an Early Voting ballot, addresses and phone numbers for County Election Offices, and a look-up tool that allows voters to verify their registration status.
Gale reminded people to update their voter registration if they have moved within a county or submit a new registration if they have moved from one county to another. Gale urged eligible Nebraskans to make sure they are registered to vote and then take the time to cast ballots.
“Voting in Nebraska is a very user-friendly process,” he said. People with voting questions can contact their County Election Office or the Secretary of State’s Office at (402) 471-2555."
Cass County Nebraska residents, call the Election Office in Plattsmouth at 402-296-9309 with any questions you might have.

The Sarpy/Cass Health Department offers free transportation assistance to women for their mammogram appointment.
The service includes home pick-up, hospital/clinic drop-off, and return home drop-off.
Eligibility includes women age 40-75 years living in Sarpy or Cass counties.
Please call SC Health Department for more information, 402-537-6968.

SOME KIDS COULD SURE USE YOUR HELP!
The Conestoga Backpack Pantry serves the Murray, Nehawka, Union and Beaver Lake areas in southeast Nebraska, although we will not turn away anyone in need. Food packs are placed in the childrens' locker at school to take home on the weekends, helping to sustain them until returning to school the following week.
Your kind donation of non-perishable food items can be made at Cornerstone Bank in Murray during business hours, Monday-Friday: 8:00 am-4:00 pm or Murray Christian Church, Mondays and Thursdays, between 8 am and noon. We can pick up your items, too, if you cannot drop them off. Call Jill at 402-235-2527 on Monday or Thursday to make arrangements.
Some ideas are cereal, juice boxes, granola bars, cereal bars, pancake mix, peanut butter, jelly, tuna or chicken salad packs, fruit cups, raisins, cheese and cracker snacks, macaroni and cheese cups, etc. Keep in mind that some of the children are very young and are possibly 'preparing' their own meals. Easy to open containers are a good option for little hands.
Each time you shop, just pick up one thing and set it aside and after a few weeks, drop off your bag of items at the bank or church.
Thank you!

MUSICAL INSTRUMENT LENDING PROGRAM
The Great Plains Bluegrass and Old-Time Music Association has a wonderful instrument lending program, so please share this information with folks that you know. Here is the information from Jim Wood:
"We are in full swing looking for kids ages 5 to 16 who want to learn to play a bluegrass/old time instrument!
The instruments we are lending include guitar, fiddles of different sizes, banjo, and mandolin, and have recently been gifted with a fine Dobro, thanks to Doug Van Horn.
These instruments may be borrowed for a year as long as the learner has a mentor from our music association.
The mentor will be selected by the student and parent.
This mentor will give the Instrument lending committee a report of progress every three months."
If you wish to get an application to this Lending program, please contact Jim Wood at 402-397-4673 or jkwood@unomaha.edu.

ONGOING EVENTS:

Now is the Time….
“Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.” Charles E. Weller, an early typing teacher, wrote this as a keyboarding drill for his students. His idea relates to an attempt to overcome the “skills gap”.
The United States has unemployed workers while it urgently needs more than 5 million higher-skilled workers. How is that possible? Although many solutions have been offered, employers insist that unemployed American workers do not have the strong literacy, numeracy, and other workplace skills that our country needs to fill its empty jobs and compete in the global marketplace. Who knew that educating oneself is a part of patriotism?
Currently, GED programs across the nation are offering high school equivalency classes including literacy and numeracy skills, in addition to keyboarding, computer, and workplace skill training. Are you looking for a path to better employment? The Plattsmouth Adult Education Program offers classes and training in all these areas.
Classes are free and provided six times per week: Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to noon and from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church, 701 Chicago Avenue (lower building.) Classes include individual learning plans and individual study as well as group discussions. Every student will have computer time during each study period.
Call 402-296-3174 ext. 2315 for information or just come at class time and check it out. You will be welcomed by a community of friendly and respectful teachers and students. Don’t delay. “Now is the time…”
