Post News Director Canon Rath talked with Amy Sabatka and Jackie Curtis about the upcoming play Steel Magnolias in early November. Sabatka and Curtis are actresses in the play.&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE - The North Platte Community Playhouse in conjunction with the North Platte Community College Theatre Department will present "Steel Magnolias" on Nov. 10th-12th and Nov. 17th-19th at the Fox Theatre in North Platte. Showtimes are 7:30pm on Friday's and Saturday's while Sunday's will be 2pm.&nbsp;

The show "Steel Magnolias" is a comedy-drama about a group of Southern women who bond over life's triumphs and tragedies. The play premiered off Broadway in 1987 and was subsequently adapted into a movie starring Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, and Darly Hannah in 1989. The North Platte rendition will focus on the Broadway adaptation, not the movie.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The unique twist the North Platte rendition is that the play has a double cast which means there are two actors for every role. Cast members will only perform in 3 out of the 6 shows, bringing a different perspective to every show.&nbsp;&nbsp;

For ticket prices, adults are $18 in advance or $20 at the door. High school students with a school ID can get tickets for $10 in advance, or $12 at the door. Lastly MPCC students, staff, and faculty just need to show their ID to get into the show for free.&nbsp;

Tickets will go on sale a week before the performance. Tickets can be purchased online at: <a href="https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnorthplattecommunityplayhouse.com%2F&amp;data=05%7C01%7Cjohnsonh%40mpcc.edu%7C30e3b4d63d3b4535a7c608dbc5c87d63%7C7d87cb1066c64d9e8aa442110477cbd5%7C0%7C0%7C638321237128218927%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=Wu%2B1AaK3X6wohrkXzzEHcQxWOZjdxDakusQZ%2FmL3rfc%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">northplattecommunityplayhouse.com</a> or at the playhouse box office Monday through Friday from 12:00pm - 5:00pm.

<a href="https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2023/10/20/help-keep-the-lights-on-afterschool-in-nebraskas-after-school-programs/">Nebraska Examiner</a>

Young people working in teams. Solving STEM challenges. Running and playing outside, exploring nature. Making art. Having new experiences with new friends. Growing and preparing food. Discovering passions, dreaming about their future.

All are key aspects of childhood all Nebraska youth deserve.

And every day, in both urban and rural communities across our state, after-school programs provide thousands of Nebraska youths just such opportunities for learning and growth.&nbsp; School-based and community-powered, after-school (and summer) programs provide hands-on learning opportunities complementing school day instruction in ways that excite, engage and inspire the next generation.

These experiences provide critical support to working parents, who need to know that their children are safe and engaged as they close out their workdays.&nbsp; After-school programs also create the nurturing places all Nebraska communities require to remain welcoming places for the families and businesses we need to attract and retain so we can continue to grow our economy and quality of life for all Nebraskans.

&nbsp; Thursday Oct. 26 is Lights on Afterschool Day, a national celebration of the important role after-school programs play in communities across our nation.&nbsp; On Oct. 6 Gov. Jim Pillen recognized Lights On Afterschool with a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://beyondschoolbells.org/resources/loa.html">proclamation</a>&nbsp;highlighting the benefits Nebraska receives via these programs.&nbsp;&nbsp;

True to form, Nebraskans didn’t wait for the national start to kick off our Lights on Afterschool events.&nbsp; Celebrations started last week with a combination early Lights On/Halloween celebration at Jefferson Elementary in North Platte on Oct. 13 before moving east to Omaha on Oct. 14 with a citywide celebration at the brand-new Luminarium in RiverFront Park.&nbsp; Many more celebrations are planned statewide over the next two weeks.

Importantly, this year’s celebration marks the 20th&nbsp;anniversary of the Nebraska Department of Education’s administration of the 21st&nbsp;Century Community Learning Centers, a federal grant program supporting high quality after-school (and summer) programs that has grown to serve 143 Nebraska sites.&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.education.ne.gov/21stcclc/">NDE 21st CCLC</a>&nbsp;programs have provided tens of thousands of hours of engaging, enriching programming to tens of thousands of youths in underserved communities across our state, through safe, structured opportunities for hands-on STEM learning, field trips, cooking classes and many, many more activities, facilitated by professional staff and community volunteers.

We know through our professional work that high-quality after-school and summer programs play a crucial role in helping provide youths with additional opportunities for learning and the healthy growth and development all Nebraska students need. These programs complement but don’t duplicate the school day learning and provide youth with hands-on, small group, experiential-rich learning opportunities that are too often not available during the school day. To see what these programs look like in one community, Grand Island, we encourage you to watch the following video,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://iloveps.org/films/mobile-makerspace-learning">STEM Learning on Wheels</a>, capturing an example of youth imagination and creativity unleashed by a dynamic after-school program.

Dr. Brain Maher, Nebraska’s current commissioner of education, noted the value of after-school programs when welcoming attendees to September’s GetConnected 2023, stating that the learning taking place in after-school and summer programs is just as important as the learning that takes place during the school day. For children’s growing brains and bodies, where and when learning takes place is irrelevant. What’s important is that youths are supported by caring adults and provided with experiences that support their healthy growth.&nbsp;After-school and summer programs can be the hands-on, experiential learning that excites, engages and inspires Nebraska youths to try new things, make friends and engage in new activities that may help chart a life course.

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.beyondschoolbells.org/">Beyond School Bells</a>, a program of the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation, works to build public-private partnerships to support the development of high quality, cost-effective and locally sustainable after-school and summer programs in communities across our state. While informal education programs have long been a crucial part of every community’s youth development system, we believe that the disrupted learning of the COVID pandemic will make the role of after-school and summer programs even more important both now and in the future.

Looking into the future, we see these programs expanding to every Nebraska community, providing all our youth with vital opportunities for additional learning and growth.&nbsp; For Nebraska the benefits are multifaceted and substantial – high quality after-school and summer programs help students reach their full potential, support working parents and ultimately help communities grow and prosper. We invite you to join with us in celebrating Lights on Afterschool in your community.

Snyder is the subject of the Netflix movie, “Walk. Ride. Rodeo,” released in 2019. The biopic focuses on her journey leading up to and following a vehicle accident that left her paralyzed from the waist down.

Since then, Snyder has become one of the most sought-after social influencers and motivational speakers in western sports.

Approximately 275 attended her presentation at NPCC where she shared her story of triumph over tragedy.

“Don’t ever compare your challenge to somebody else,” Snyder told the audience. “Each one of us is going to have our own challenges and our own way of handling them. There is always someone praying for what you have.”

The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners has determined the need to close the N. Sutherland River Bridge on North Prairie Trace Road over the North Platte River for a scheduled bridge replacement project.  We are currently planning to close the bridge as soon as Wednesday, October 25th, 2023 as construction will start immediately after.  The closure is expected to last until Summer 2025. 

 Please use West Suburban Road, North Hershey Road, and North River Road to detour the closure.  The detour route can also be completed using State Highway 30, North Hershey Road, and North River Road.  Exhaustive efforts to keep the existing bridge open during the construction of the new structure, or a temporary bridge structure being put in place, have been pursued and, unfortunately, are not possible due to several factors.

 They include environmental concerns and regulations, hydrological flows of the North Platte River, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' lengthy review process, and the risk of losing state funding that is vital to building the new structure.  Conversations and planning have been done with area first responder organizations to ensure that a seamless and thorough plan for responding to emergencies north of the river is in place.  Road crews have prioritized the detour routes for maintenance and snow removal, including adding aggregate materials to the road in order to mitigate wear and tear due to increased traffic. 

Conversations have also been had with the selected contractor, who has been a good partner in this process, and who is committed to working on the new structure year-round and completing the bridge on time.  Their construction workers are part of our local community.  We extend our gratitude to them and look forward to working with them throughout this construction process.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Mid-Plains Community College adjunct instructor Aida Ullrich, of North Platte, has been honored with a Cultivating Education Award from the nonprofit organization, Las Mañanitas Community Advocates.

Ullrich has served as an ESL instructor for Mid-Plains for since 2015. Las Mañanitas Community Advocates, selected her for the award based on her efforts to teach English as a Second Language to the community’s growing non-English speaking population.

Ullrich was presented with a certificate during the Hispanic Heritage Gala Oct. 13 at La Quinta Inn and Suites by Wyndham in North Platte.

“It took me by surprise,” Ullrich said of receiving the award. “It felt very nice. I was told my name was mentioned more than 19 times when they were looking for nominations.”

Although humbled by the recognition, the true award for Ullrich comes from the changes and growth she sees in her students.

“I enjoy getting the knowledge to the people who need it so they can perform better here and understand,” Ullrich said. “Most of them are family of people working here. When they tell me that they can now understand in the store when they are talked to - that really makes me feel good because they are learning.”

Post News Director chatted with Brenda Hansen and Mardel Manary who are with the North Platte Opportunity Center. The trio chatted about the sensory that the NPOC has and also the Sara Rickertsen Special Needs Grant that the NPOC received.&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE - The North Platte Opportunity Center serves individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and is dedicated to making an impact on these individual lives. The NPOC also helps individuals with their community living, and with jobs and so much more.&nbsp;

The NPOC also has a sensory side to help with individuals who struggle with sensory overload. "Sensory overload can be volume, it could be too many people, it can be a lot of different ways but it's a place for them to come decompress and unwind," said Brenda Hansen. "It's a very calming environment." Hansen has been working with the sensory side at the NPOC for almost 10 years.&nbsp;

The NPOC was recently granted the Sara Rickertsen Special Needs Grant from the Lexington Community Foundation. "We are very excited that the Lexington Community Foundation granted us the Sara Rickertsen Special Needs Grant and we are going to use that as part of our program over at the sensory side and we are getting some speech generated devices," said Mardel Manary. "We have&nbsp; 7 individuals who are nonverbal so it will help them communicate."&nbsp;

The Hot Sheets: October 22nd, 2023

Post News Director Canon Rath caught up with 4-H'er McKenna Lundvall and 4-H Development Extension Educator Caitlyn Jacobson about the 4-H Fashion Revue and Clothing Project.&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE - 4-H is America's largest youth development program across the United States that helps learn skills that will last a lifetime. The age requirement for 4-H is the ages of 8-18. There are many different categories that 4-H'ers can participate in during their time in the program. Some kids may not like showing animals as 4-H offers many other categories to participate in. One is the fashion revue.&nbsp;

The 4-H Fashion Revue is how a person can present himself/herself through clothing, grooming, facial expression and body movement is a form of communication. The goal is to help develop an understanding of personal presentation in public situations with regard to clothing, accessories and grooming. Sewing is an area that can be tough for many at first. "I did tie-dye in the beginning because I really didn't know how to sew and progressively you get more skills in sewing," said 4-H'er McKenna Lundvall.&nbsp;

If you would like to learn more in-depth on fashion revue and Lundvall's involvement with 4-H, check out the podcast above.&nbsp;

***Interview will air on Good Morning North Platte FM98.1 &amp; AM1410 on 10/23/23.
