Booth at fair to return assets
By Jerry Guenther
Senior Reporter
Some students attending the Nebraska State
Fair may get more for their money than they
*A booth operated by the State Treasurer s
Department in the Devancy Sports Center is
returning unclaimed assets to their righilu
owners. , , Cl .
Dcena Kurnke, who works in the Male
Treasurer’s Deparimcnl and was operating the
booth Tuesday morning, said thousands ot
Nebraskans have unclaimed assets held by the
State Treasurer’s 011 ice.
Kurnke said the assets, w hich include aban
doned checking and savings accounts, arc
turned over to the State Treasurer’s Oil ice il
the lawful owner cannot be located and il there
has been no activity in the account for seven
years.
The institutions holding the unclaimed as
sets give them to the State Treasurer s Ollicc
along with the last known address of the ac
count holder, Kumkc said.
Besides checking and savings accounts,
Kumkc said, many Nebraskans have un
claimed insurance benefits, cash dividends,
utilities deposits and safely deposit box con
tents that arc wailing to be claimed.
The State Treasurer’s Office often is fur
nished with incorrect addresses or incomplete
names, Kumkc said, so it can be difficult locat
ing the rightful owner.
Since the fair opened Friday, Kumkc esti
mates, thousands of people have slopped at the
booth. About a dozen have discovered un

those sources arc so confident they’re right,
they should identify themselves.”
Regent Robert Allen of Hastings said he
thinks Warner cannot accept the lacl that the
board made a change when it terminated
Roskcns because Warner has become a close,
personal friend of Roskcns.
“He (Warner) is taking it personally,” Al
len said.
In response to the regents' accusations,
Warner said he had expressed reluctance to
claimed assets.
‘‘It’s not been dead or boring at all,” she
said.
The average value of unclaimed assets is
about $30 to $40, Kumke said, though some
people have claims of more than $2,(XK).
If the owners of the unclaimed assets cannot
be located, Kumke said, the State Treasurer’s
Office invests the money and distributes the
interest from the assets to Nebraska school
districts.
There is no time limit for owners to claim
their assets, she said
Bill Janccck of Dodge was among those
who stopped at the booth Tuesday morning to
see if he had any unclaimed assets.
“I didn’t have anything,” Janccck said.
“All I have is this pair of pants, this shirt and
this old cap.”
Janccck, a retired mailman, recognized the
names ofmany residents in Dodge and Cuming
counties who did have unclaimed assets with
the Slate Treasurer’s Office.
Dawn Koch of Omaha found her mother-in
law’s name on the list, but later discovered the
claim was paid out.
Kumkc said computer errors occasionally
include names on the list even after they have
been located.
“It can be disappointing because they think
they may have found something,’’ she said.
Terri Wright, a student from the University
of Nebraska at Omaha, said she was disap
pointed because she didn’t find several thou
sand dollars under her name. But she said she
thought it was “definitely worth looking.”

tion that someone would make the exact state
ment they did.”
“I certainly did not initiate it (the story) at
all,’’ Warner said. “1 told the reporter I had
heard similar stories.”
Warner said the two sources he spoke to
were “very reliable.”
“There is sometimes a fine line between
vote trading and consensus -- ‘You do this and
I’ll do that,’” Warner said. “That nevertheless
links the issues.”
