HARTINGTON — Mother Nature took over once again as an early spring snow storm blew through Northeast Nebraska Saturday morning, just in time to put the freeze on the Hartington Chamber of Commerce Easter Egg Hunt.
About 100 kids showed up for the hunt, many fewer than normal, kicking the Easter eggs up out of the snow and happily dropping as many eggs as they could uncover into their baskets.

HARTINGTON — The Hartington City Council weighed in Monday on current city policies about garbage collection.
City Clerk Crystal Lenzen told Council members she has been receiving several complaints from residents about being billed for “extra garbage.”
The Council first heard these concerns at their March 14 meeting, but took no action, asking City Attorney Steve Pier to review current statute.
Council members then held a lengthy discussion about current city ordinances and policies.
Lenzen said she has been using an ordinance adopted by the City Council in November 1994 as her guide.
That ordinance states all residential refuse must be placed in a durable 30-gallon or less plastic container firmly tied or with a lid firmly attached. The ordinance does not, however, refer to any additional charges for “extra garbage.”
Council member Deb Addison had concerns about collecting additional fees without some sort of a written ordinance or policy in place.
“If it is not in the ordinance how can we charge them extra,” she said. The garbage collection policy was further questioned when Mayor Brad Peitz could not find an ordinance about it in the city code book.
After looking through the book, Council members realized the ordinance had inadvertently been omitted when the code book was updated and revised a few years ago.
