B-R Volleyball girls headed to Lincoln
The B-R volleyball defeated Atkinson West Holt in the District championship game last night in five sets. The girls qualified for the state tournament next Thursday in Lincoln. The official brackets have not been released, but the power points on the NSAA website have been updated and the Lady Panthers are the #7 seed right now.
That means the girls will play North Platte St. Pats in the 8:30 pm game at Lincoln North Star. Yes, there will be a regular school day on Thursday. No decision has been made yet concerning school next Friday. If they win the first round, the team would play the 8:30 pm game on Friday.
Congratulations to Coach James and Mrs. Weborg. In three years as volleyball coach Mrs. James has won over 70 games and qualified for state three straight years. And don't forget the one state championship. She is, without question, the most successful volleyball coach this school has ever had. Her record and her success speak for themseleves.

Cuming County Economic Development approved
After an informative presentation by County Clerk Bonnie Vogltance and a good discussion, the Bancroft Village Board passed the County Economic Development Interlocal agreement 5-0. Now the County Supervisors can start the process of establishing an office and hiring a developer. I know of a couple experienced developers in the area that would do a good job.
A concern that the Board expressed was that they were not involved in the early Economic Development meetings when financing was discussed, and most were unaware that these meetings were scheduled until they read it in the paper. One of the first duties of the Cuming County Economic Development Office needs to be establishing direct lines of communication with ALL Cuming County communities.
The Village Board will be appointing one community member to sit on the nine member County Economic Development Board. This person will represent Bancroft and must ensure that our community is served.
Kudos to the Village Board for not letting politics interfere with pursuing new jobs for the area.

Economic Development on Village agenda tonight
The Bancroft Village Board has County-wide Economic Development on the agenda at tonight's village board meeting. The decision to join in a County-wide effort will set the future course for economic development in Bancroft.
A YES vote to join means Bancroft is committed to working with the rest of the County to increase the number of jobs in Cuming County.
A NO vote is a vote for the status quo.
The rumor mill is that Bancroft Village board members are concerned that Bancroft will pay the same as West Point and Wisner. Each community is asked to pay $5000 and the County Board will pay the remaining $50,000. Bancroft Board members prefer a per capita fee. Unfortunately, that is not the proposal that the Cuming County Economic Development committee put forth. For your information, Kent Neumann and I were the only people from Bancroft to attend committee meetings, even though several community members were personally invited and everyone was welcome to attend. Kent Neumann proposed a per capita fee. That proposal was discussed and eventually ruled out because West Point and Wisner would pay they bulk of the cost, and they already have a large amount budgeted for Economic Development in their own communities. To my knowledge, Bancroft does not have any money for budgeted for Economic Development, making $5000 a reasonable amount.
Pender has a sales tax to support development in Pender. Lyons is involved in a County-wide effort in Burt County.
The Cuming County proposal is the best plan we have and Bancroft needs to get on board. If the Bancroft Village Board votes not to join the rest of Cuming County, the board needs to share their plan for economic development in Bancroft.
