HARTINGTON - There are a lot of hard questions yet to be answered before a proposal to merge the Wynot and Hartington Public Schools could move forward.
Both school boards met in front of about 100 people here for a twohour meeting Tuesday.
The previous joint meeting in Wynot focused more on the emotions of possibly shutting down the Wynot school. Tuesday’s meeting involved more of the nuts and bolts of merger process.

ST. JAMES - A few years ago, the old Catholic school in St. James went through quite a transformation, as a use was found in the old building when it became the St. James Market Place.
Now the house that stands next door, which served as the rectory to St. James parish, is getting a makeover all its own, and will become the Rose Gate Inn.
Randy and Gloria Anderson, Wynot, acquired the house a year ago, with dreams of turning it into a comfortable, homey place for people to stay.

Before that he served as Chaplain General of the United States Air Force.

HARTINGTON - Although the telemarketing industry has appeared to have weathered the creation of the national do not call list, some telemarketing companies have needed to layoff employees or change the nature of their business.
Some telemarketers, for example, are doing more customer service work in which the centers receive calls from nonprofit groups, politicians and companies they have recently done business with, some telemarketing companies have shifted toward fundraising for nonprofit groups and business-tobusiness sales.

UTICA - The Cedar Catholic Lady Trojans defeated pretty tough competition to earn third-place honors in the Centennial Tournament here Saturday.
In first-round action, the Lady Trojans defeated the host team in two games. Cedar earned the 26-24 win in a see-saw battle, the Lady Trojans then rolled to a 25-16 decision to claim the win.

NELIGH - The Neligh-Oakdale Warriors took advantage of some ill-timed Cedar turnovers to earn a 21-14 come-from-behind win here Friday.
The two teams were virtually even in all statistical categories except for turnovers. The Trojans lost a pair of fumbles on the night.
The loss puts Cedar’s hopes of making a sixth straight trip to the playoffs in peril. Cedar is now 3-4 on the year and 1-3 in the District. The Trojans have not missed the playoffs since 1998.
