Walt Johnson and LyDell Mairs, representatives of the Lisbon City Council, met with the Ransom County Board of Commissioners at their Tuesday, Dec. 15 meeting, to ask if the county would be interested in looking into the possibility of providing law enforcement for the City of Lisbon.
Johnson stated that he believed the proposal would create a “win-win” situation. He explained that the City was looking into the possibility of contracting with the county as a cost-saving measure. He explained, that with the added flood expenses, the city has been looking for ways to cut their budget. He added that it was the city council’s belief that the county could benefit from the proposed arrangement as well. Johnson went on to state that the city has been serving as a training ground for officers who later go on to take a job with the county, so the city council felt it would be better to join forces.

The Walter and Eileen Munkeby home, Lisbon, is always decorated in fine style for the Christmas holiday. In addition to numerous other decorations, it has a Christmas tree and a nativity set in every room. This includes the laundry room, bathroom, and the family room in the basement.
Eileen explains that she has collected Christmas decorations for her entire life. Her oldest Christmas item is a quilt that her mother helped put together. “I can remember playing under that quilt as my mother and several other ladies from our community worked on it,” she recalled. “I was around five years old at the time. They had the quilt set up on a frame and were hand quilting it.”
When it came time to divide a trunk full of quilts which her mother had collected over the years among Eileen and her sisters, Eileen chose the red, white, and green Christmas quilt because it brought back many memories for her. Now, each Christmas, Eileen brings out that special quilt and displays it in a guest bedroom. Read the rest of this entry »

Trailing at halftime by three points, the Lisbon boy’s basketball teams used a strong second half performance and wore down the visiting Northern Cass Jags in a Region 1 basketball game.
Led by pesky, Patrick Olson Lisbon’s defensive pressure kept NC from running any effective offensive sets and the end result was a Bronco victory.
It was also nice to score as Lisbon managed just 24 points in their season opening loss to Richland. The Broncos more than doubled that output against the Jags with three players in double figures to total 49.
Spencer Symington of Northern Cass led all scorers with 15 points.
Nathan Qual’s 14 points led the Broncos and he was joined in double figure scoring by Adam Coykendall and Brandon Lee who added 13 and 11. Nice balance but for the Broncos to become successful more points, rebounds, steals, you get the picture will have to come from the other two starters and anyone coming off of the bench. One needs to remember however, that this is a very young and inexperienced varsity team.
Olson and Lee led the defense with 6 and 5 steals. Lisbon forced 25 turnovers on the evening while only committing 12 infractions.
Olson made the Broncos lone three point field goal as Lisbon shot 17 of 54 from the field and made 14 of 25 free throws. Coykendall saved his teammates as Adam made 7 of 8 from the charity stripe.
The Broncos grabbed 33 rebounds with Lee’s seven the most for either squad.
Bronco Coach Kim Mark shared these thoughts after the game. “I thought that we were much more relaxed going into our second game of the season and having Coykendall playing had a lot to do with that.”
“Nathan Qual, Patrick Olson, and Brandon Lee had huge defensive games for us.”
Lisbon won the JV game while Northern Cass was victorious in the C match-up.
