Murdock News - April 10, 2019

Welcome to Murdock

Easter Egg Hunt FBLA The Murdock news gets read by many people around the country. Especially people who used to live here, or grew up in Murdock.

Janie Apodaca is one of them. She sent me the following photos and what she remembers about Murdock.

Knapps MurdockDairy Icecreamstore

After we lived in Murdock for a while, my parents opened up Knapp’s Café. This is the front of the Café. Not sure of the year, but the photo shows me, my brother John, and our dog Pickup.

Inside Knapp's Café in 1963. I can hardly read my mom's handwriting, but one is a Wendt, and the other one is Bob Litchenburger.

My best memories of the town when we lived there were the businesses on Main street.

We had 2 gas stations-one was Knop’s across the street from the old post office. We had Gus Wilken’s grocery store, Slieforts (misspelled) Hardware store, my grandparents garage (Knapp’s Garage), the library right next to the firehouse, the Corngrower’s State Bank, Murdoch’s Implements, Rhodes’s Grocery Store, Mike Bornemeier. Hardware Store, Knapp’s Café, Norman’s Barber Shop, and the old Posts Office when Verl Bronkow was the postmaster.

This is my 2 brothers John and Jerry. John is pulling Jerry in a wagon from an old riding lawnmower my dad bought from the Murdock School. Not sure of the year, but my brother John who is driving is now almost 63 (next month.)

Thank you, Janie, for the stories and photos

Egg My Yard for Easter

What a fun Easter tradition. The Elmwood Murdock Knights Cheer team will "Egg" you yard with candy-filled plastic eggs. You don't have to go out at the insane hour of 5 am to try and hide the fact you are the Easter Bunny.

Just wake up weary-eyed with your kids and look out at a yard covered with eggs. EGG MY YARD

FBLA State Leadership Conference

Twenty-nine Elmwood-Murdock FBLA members attended the State Leadership Conference in
Omaha from April 4-6. At the conference, members participated in competitive events, attended educational workshops, and campaigned for state office. Eight members qualified for the National Leadership Conference.

Zane Rikli campaign booth for State Treasurer crpped

E-M junior, Zane Rikli, campaigned for Nebraska State Treasurer with the theme, “No Zane, No Gain.” As part of the campaign process, Zane gave a 2-minute speech at the opening session; set up and worked at a campaign booth for two days, and answered questions about his goals and qualifications at a formal caucus.

Zane ran against three competing candidates for the same office position, and while he did an outstanding job of representing our chapter, he, unfortunately, did not receive the majority vote to secure the office position. It was a great learning experience for him and chapter members were proud of his hard work, enthusiasm, and positive attitude during the campaign process.

Denotes qualification for the National Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas from June 28 – July 3

Updates from the Legislature merged

Highway 63 UPDATE

The first phase of the project from I-80 to Church road was completed in 2017. This opened Church road east-west and connected it to I80.

Last year, 2018, was supposed to be culverts, grading and paving from South of Church road to Alvo.
The weather put the culvert work, grading work and utility relocation work behind schedule. By the time we had the subgrade stabilized and embankments constructed it was too cold to pave.

We will go to work on subgrade reconstruction and foundation placement once the frost is out of the ground and we get some drying weather.
Paving should go fast and we hope to be paved out by July.

I know it is frustrating but grading work is very susceptible to delays with wet weather and last year had a lot of rain.

It is with the hope that we can open in July.
Please encourage anyone interested to call the district office for updates.

402-471-0850.

Our project manager is Jesse DeLosSantos.
Our Construction Engineer is Curt Mueting.
