Some Coalition MPs have cold feet on the social media ban. Dutton will stare them downMr Carter, a former peanut farmer, served one term in the White House between 1977 and 1981, taking over in the wake of the Watergate scandal and the end of the Vietnam War. After his defeat by Ronald Reagan, he spent his post-presidency years as a global humanitarian, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. His death on Sunday was announced by his family and came more than a year after he decided to enter hospice care. He was the longest-lived US president. His son, Chip Carter, said: “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights and unselfish love. “My brothers, sister and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. “The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honouring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.” Mr Carter is expected to receive a state funeral featuring public observances in Atlanta and Washington DC before being buried in his home town of Plains, Georgia. A moderate democrat born in Plains in October 1924, Mr Carter’s political career took him from the Georgia state senate to the state governorship and finally the White House, where he took office as the 39th president. His presidency saw economic disruption amid volatile oil prices, along with social tensions at home and challenges abroad including the Iranian revolution that sparked a 444-day hostage crisis at the US embassy in Tehran. But he also brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, which led to a peace treaty between the two countries in 1979. After his defeat in the 1980 presidential election, he worked for more than four decades leading the Carter Centre, which he and his late wife Rosalynn co-founded in 1982 to “wage peace, fight disease, and build hope”. Mrs Carter, who died last year aged 96, had played a more active role in her husband’s presidency than previous first ladies, with Mr Carter saying she had been “my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished”. Earlier this year, on his 100th birthday, Mr Carter received a private congratulatory message from the King, expressing admiration for his life of public service.

In Denton, the election will likely be decided by a coin toss. In a convincing argument against the “my vote doesn’t count” lament, the election for the southwest Lancaster County village board of trustees came down to a three-way tie on election night. Six people were running for three positions. When election night came to a close, Tim Reckling, Amanda Fangmeier and John V. Juricek all had 43 votes — a three-way tie for the third seat. Once the provisional and other uncounted ballots were tallied on Nov. 15, Juricek and Fangmeier had pulled ahead of Reckling by one vote. So, now what? Well, according to state statute, there’s a mandatory recount of all three, since the one-vote margin was close enough to trigger the recount. People are also reading... That will happen Monday. Assuming there’s no change and Juricek and Fangmeier remain tied — or if it goes back to a three-way tie — state statute says the decision is made by “drawing lots.” Lancaster County Election Commissioner Todd Wiltgen gets to decide exactly how that will happen: A coin toss, drawing straws, maybe drawing from a hat. Wiltgen And his decision depends on the outcome of the recount. Wiltgen said he's inclined to have a coin toss, but If it goes back to a three-way tie, a coin toss wouldn’t work. One of the candidates could decide to withdraw, but in Denton, that’s not likely to happen, despite the fact that the dead-heat competitors are married. Juricek and Fangmeier are currently on the village board, and Juricek said they plan to see it through, but there won’t be any hard feelings once the spinning coin lands. Clearly, the small number of voters increases the chances of such an outcome, and several of Lancaster County’s smaller communities had election totals within just a few votes. But it’s a good reminder that voting does make a difference. Remember the 2000 Bush-Gore presidential election, fraught with hanging chads and court decisions, came down to a few hundred votes in Florida, where almost 6 million people cast votes. In Lancaster County, there was one other anomaly in the election, Wiltgen said. In one of the Raymond Central school board wards, no candidates were on the ballot, and the seat got 89 write-in votes. Wiltgen said he can’t assign votes to write-in candidates who haven’t filed affidavits (to avoid electing Mickey Mouse, for instance), but there was one candidate — Jason Wiig — who filed as a write-in after the deadline. That's why he wasn't on the ballot, but now Wiltgen can assign those 89 votes to Wiig. The moral there, apparently, is better late than never. As for the situation down south in Denton, Wiltgen — who was appointed election commissioner in 2023 — said he’s aware of a tie vote for a county board race in another part of the state about 10 years ago, and Juricek said there’s been a tie vote in Denton races before. This election, 277 people cast votes for the six candidates, and Juricek said a controversy over the condition of a park prompted more people to run. He chalks up the whole situation to small-town politics. And, maybe, a broader lesson for voters. A place of their own The Community Action Partnership of Lancaster and Saunders Counties now officially owns its administrative offices at 210 O St. The Lancaster County Board recently voted to release a lease and issue a deed of reconveyance following the nonprofit’s final bond payment on the building, built in 1999 under direction of then-Executive Director Beatty Brasch. Now that Community Action will no longer be paying more than $13,000 per month in debt service, it can now redirect to support client services and help keep pace with community needs. The savings comes when the community's needs have never been greater, said Community Action CEO Heather Loughman. “This monthly savings will be helpful in our efforts to keep up,” she said. The nonprofit’s programs focus on early childhood education, homelessness prevention, financial and family well-being, and hunger relief and healthy food access. In addition to its offices at 210 O St., it operates three Head Start early childhood centers and the Gathering Place soup kitchen. Last year, it provided services to nearly 18,000 people. Living well Lincoln ranked ninth in the American Association of Retired Persons latest Livability Index for large cities this year, a two-point bump from 11th place last year. Earlier this year, the mayor enrolled the city in an AARP network that examines ways to make it a more age-friendly place to live by evaluating factors ranging from housing and transportation to health services and community engagement. According to AARP, its livability index is the most comprehensive, web-based tool of its kind that scores every neighborhood and community in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Fate of the trees The Near South Neighborhood Association, which recently hosted a meeting at McPhee Elementary on a city Parks and Recreation plan to cut down 24 old trees along Goodhue Boulevard and replant 70 new trees in the area, voted on an official position on the controversial plan. It was a thumbs down, with a request for time to develop an alternative plan with community input and expertise of the International Society of Arboriculture and certified foresters in an effort to extend the lifespan of as many trees as possible. The neighborhood association got part of its wish even before members voted on an official position. City officials had already postponed the Capitol Environs Commission meeting to vote on the plan until Dec. 13 in an effort to continue discussions and find a compromise.
