The next judge in Gage County is ready to take the bench. Pete Ricketts announced in March that Jeffrey A. Gaertig of Beatrice would be appointed as the new judge in the First Judicial District, and will serve primarily in Gage County. On Friday, a ceremony was held to swear in Gaertig as he prepares to preside over Gage County Court. Gaertig said during the ceremony he plans to take a “plus one” approach, wherein he will treat people as they treat the court system, plus one. “We’re going to get along swimmingly-well if you treat me, or the process and court, with dignity, honor and respect,” he said.
