Classes began in Crofton this week, and once more, students of St. Rose Catholic School were welcomed by a familiar face ... Sister Charlotte Schuele, principal.
This year is a milestone for Schuele as she was honored for living 50 years of her life as a nun, a member of the School Sisters of St. Francis. She grew up in Chicago but has served her “mission” of teaching in the northeast Nebraska area for over 25 years.

When Rex Reist decides to fulfill a dream, he does so in a very big way!
Reist, 26 and a Lansing, Mich. resident, rode through Crofton Saturday afternoon, July 30, on his way from his hometown to Seattle, Wash.
Pulling a small bicycle trailer with his blue road bike, Reist came through town on Highway 12, having spent the previous night in the yard of the Bow Valley church.
“I got a late start today because the wind was really tough and I thought, ‘Why fight it!’” he said with a smile. “But now it’s really nice.”

Ed Hollander doesn’t mind the slower pace of a small town.
In fact, Crofton’s new police officer says it actually makes his job much easier. “Once you get to know who’s who and who drives which vehicle, then when you see an out-of-county or out-of-state vehicle driving around late at night, you tend to keep an eye on it,” he commented.
Not that the 27-year-old plans to be stopping every non-familiar vehicle in town. He simply knows the nuances of being a small town policeman.
