Doing your Personal Best
What does it mean to give your “personal best?”In track, that phrase means everything.Last week, as district track meets were contested, I had plenty of time to think about personal bests and the importance of comparing yourself only to yourself.From my time at Waverly, with the Nebraska City track team, to my time at Pawnee City, with the Lourdes track team, and to Tecumseh, with the Syracuse track team, my only thought was about how impressed I was with all the kids who went out there and had their personal best efforts.District track is all about Burke.

Death and Taxes
Father Time caught up with our 108th Legislature in dramatic fashion on April 18, with LB 1402 (a bill to empower parents to choose the school of their choice for their child, regardless of income) passing with 33 votes and Governor Pillen’s tax shift bill, LB 388, running out of steam before the finish line.LB 388, promised by some as a “magic bullet” for fixing our tax system, faced strong opposition from fiscal conservatives immediately.
Look for answers not exits
The NFL Draft once again breathed hope into franchises across the league, from the Chicago Bears, which selected a Heisman Trophy winning quarterback, to the Washington Commanders, which picked LSU’s standout signal caller.
