North Platte High School hosts Justo Lamas Concerts featuring Edgar René.&nbsp;&nbsp; After attending this program for several years at the Neville Center, Spanish teachers and administration decided a few years ago to host the concert program at the high school, opening their auditorium to area schools.

9 area schools and approximately 400 students and teachers will be attending this year’s concert entitled Levántate on Tuesday, October 31, 2023 from 10-11:30am in the Performing Arts Center.

Schools attending: Sutherland, Hershey, Brady, North Platte High School, St. Patricks, Sargent Schools, Sandhills High School, South Platte Schools and Ogallala High School.

For more information, contact Tamina Hartman.

This year’s artist is:&nbsp; Edgar René. For information on Edgar, please visit:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.justolamasgroup.com/edgar-rene.php" target="_blank">http://www.justolamasgroup.com/edgar-rene.php</a>

The&nbsp;Justo Lamas Group Concert&nbsp;is an educational program with the primary objective of promoting the study of the Spanish language. With Edgar’s music and songs students are motivated to learn the language. During the entire 90 minute show, Edgar puts out all of his energy and talent earning the attention, respect and admiration of the students. They sing their hearts out during the songs they have learned in class. Edgar also uses this opportunity to deliver an affirmative life message that encourages students to live free of drugs and other addictions. He promotes unity and communication between students and their families. He encourages the audience not to give up when facing problems and to continue struggling to achieve their goals.

The&nbsp;Justo Lamas Group Concert&nbsp;is a unique program in which there is a lot of interaction between Edgar and the students. Besides being great entertainment in which the students will enjoy the incredible talent and dynamic personality of Edgar René, the concert is also a true extension of the classroom.

Two months before the show, we send promotion materials to local area schools.

Teachers that want to attend can make reservations through our website and request a free DVD and a CD to prepare their students with the concert songs.

Teachers who have already participated in a Justo concert with their students have observed how it has created interest and enthusiasm for the Spanish language.

The program lasts two hours. An hour and a half is for the concert itself and the rest of the time is for the students to meet Edgar personally.

They can talk to him, get his CDs, posters, photos, etc. which he will be happy to autograph.

The concert is made up of different styles of music: the kind listened to by modern young people of Latin America and also folk and traditional music.

The Hot Sheets: October 12th, 2023

Lincoln, NE – October 11, 2023 – The Powerball jackpot has been growing since July without a winner. Because of the high jackpot, the Nebraska Lottery reminds customers to play responsibly.

The Powerball jackpot starts at $20 million and continues to grow each drawing until it is won. There have been 35 consecutive Powerball drawings since July 22 without a jackpot winner. This run has grown the estimated jackpot for the Wednesday, October 11 drawing to $1.725 billion or $756.6 million with the cash option selected. This is the 2nd largest jackpot in the history of the game.

This jackpot run has produced six big Powerball winners in Nebraska.

The largest Powerball jackpot on record occurred in November 2022 when one winner in California won a $2.04 billion jackpot.

Ten jackpots ranging from $2.5 million to $365 million have been won in Nebraska since the Nebraska Lottery began offering Powerball in July of 1994. The largest Powerball jackpot won in Nebraska occurred in February 2006 when a group of eight coworkers at the ConAgra Foods ham and corned beef plant in Lincoln split a $365 million jackpot.

Because of the high Powerball jackpot, the Nebraska Lottery encourages customers to play within their means. “It’s important for Nebraska Lottery players to remember that no matter how large the jackpot is, the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million,” said Lottery Director Brian Rockey. “Your odds of winning remain the same, regardless of how many tickets are purchased or how many people play.” If you or someone you know has a problem with compulsive gambling, free help is available at&nbsp;<a href="http://problemgambling.nebraska.gov/" target="_blank">problemgambling.nebraska.gov</a>.

The mission of the Nebraska Lottery is to generate proceeds for good causes while providing quality entertainment options to Nebraskans. Over $951 million has been raised for the Nebraska Lottery’s beneficiary funds since the Lottery began in 1993. All 93 counties in Nebraska have benefited from projects funded with these Nebraska Lottery proceeds.

Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department

Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department (SWNPHD) is encouraging everyone to review how they wash their hands. Keeping hands clean is one of the most important steps to take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. Many diseases and conditions are spread by not washing hands with soap and clean running water, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

You should wash your hands any time they are visibly dirty, and in the following situations: before, during, and after preparing food, before eating food, before and after caring for someone who is sick, before and after treating a cut or wound, after using the bathroom, after blowing your nose, after coughing or sneezing into your hands, after touching an animal, after handling pet food or pet treats, and after touching garbage.

Here is a reminder of the most effective way to wash your hands:

1) Wet your hands with warm water and add soap.

2) Rub your hands together, making sure to scrub all areas, keeping hands out of the water.

3) Scrub for a minimum of 20 seconds or sing/hum the&nbsp;Happy Birthday&nbsp;song twice.

4) Rinse thoroughly, then dry your hands on a clean towel.

5) Turn the faucet off with the towel, not your hand, to avoid picking up germs again.

Washing hands with soap and water is the best way to reduce the number of microbes on them in most situations. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. According to the CDC, hand sanitizers are not as effective when hands are visibly dirty or greasy.

SWNPHD can provide free handwashing lessons for children in daycare, kindergarten, first, second, third, and fourth grade this fall. Good handwashing skills can reduce the spread of illness and lower absentee rates.

SWNPHD also provides free handwashing posters on their website at swhealth.ne.gov and handwashing stickers are available for bathroom mirrors by stopping in or calling.

For more information or to schedule a handwashing demonstration, contact Paula at 308-345-4223. SWNPHD serves Chase, Dundy, Frontier, Furnas, Hayes, Hitchcock, Keith, Perkins, and Red Willow counties. SWNPHD is located at 404 West 10th (one block north of Arby’s) in McCook, 409 Broadway in Imperial and 418 North Spruce in Ogallala. Information can also be found on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Enjoy a “You Are There” experience of Luke’s Gospel. Hear it shared as the Early Church heard it—as  stories handed down  from memory through an “oral tradition” enhanced with music. Join  Paulist Father James DiLuzio for three  evenings of scripture, drama, hymns, fellowship &amp; more! Experience the Gospel of Luke as members of the Early Church experienced it — internalized, personalized, shared!

The three day event will be held Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, October 23rd, 24th and 25th at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, located at 2801 West E Street in North Platte, beginning at 7:00 o'clock p.m. each night.&nbsp;

In addition, Father DiLuzio will preside at daily Mass each morning at 7:30 o'clock a.m. at the Church.&nbsp; Each Mass will be followed by rolls and coffee in Nelson Hall, after which Father DiLuzio will share a brief spiritual message.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Hot Sheets: October 11th, 2023

WHAT:&nbsp;A 43-foot-tall Golden Spike, similar to those ceremonially used to complete the transcontinental railroad in 1869, has been commissioned by the Golden Spike Foundation to honor the tens of thousands of railroad workers who built the transcontinental railroad.&nbsp; The public art piece will begin its ceremonial journey across the United States - traveling from Kentucky to Utah along portions of the original railway route making a series of “whistle stops” along the way.&nbsp;

As the truck carrying the Golden Spike Monument rolls into cities and towns across America, events will be held in partnership with schools, railroad stations, and railroad museums to display the 7,000-pound public art piece and educate and inspire people to learn from the past and honor the memory of the thousands of workers who built the transcontinental railroad.&nbsp; Special educational displays and presentations and more will be part of the tour stops.&nbsp; For those lucky enough to spot it, the flatbed truck carrying the Monument will be emblazoned with information to follow it along on its “Driving of the Spike” route.

Next spring, the Monument will be touring the transcontinental railroad’s route from the west before it is permanently installed at the Golden Spike Park at Reeder Ranch, in Box Elder County, Utah.

WHY:&nbsp;The Monument portrays the images of railroad workers in “bas-reliefs” along the four sides of the giant golden spike.&nbsp; According to the artist, Douwe Blumberg, the artwork is intended to “give faces to the faceless”&nbsp;and celebrate the building of the railroad from the perspective of those who contributed so much to the triumphant feat. These workers, many of whom were immigrants attracted by steady employment, did back-breaking work, made horrific sacrifices, and used ingenuity to make the railroad a reality.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Douwe Blumberg and his team spent the previous 28 months creating the Monument in his studio&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in rural Kentucky.&nbsp;

WHO:&nbsp;Until the transcontinental railroad’s 150th&nbsp;anniversary celebration in 2019, the complete story of the building of the railroad had gone largely untold. The contribution of the thousands of&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;workers had been ignored. The Golden Spike Foundation, who organized the Spike 150 celebration in Utah, wanted to set the record straight by telling the whole story.&nbsp; After the celebration, the foundation commissioned Douwe Blumberg to build the Golden Spike Monument as a way to continue telling this remarkable and relatable story through public art.

WHEN:&nbsp; The tour, which follows the route of the transcontinental railroad coming from the east, is as follows:&nbsp;

Golden Spike Monument Tour making a stop in North Platte

ELVIS IS IN THE BUILDING! Joseph Hall is thrilled to be bringing his Elvis Rock N Remember tribute show! This show is directed in such a manner that really shows the roots of Elvis but yet a fast pace show that will make it difficult for you to stay in your seat. It caters to both the young and the young at heart. He's got the look, the voice, the charm and the moves that take us back to a time when parents were flabbergasted by the flauntingly provocative hip action. 

In Hall's Elvis Rock N Remember show, he achieves a powerful flashback experience to the moment when fans fell in love with the talented, handsome, carefree, energetic, high spirited young man that is Elvis Presley. The show is masterfully produced with a mixture of Elvis hits from rock n roll, country, pop to gospel, multiple costume changes and a heartfelt tribute to our veterans. He's even got the teddy bears and scarves to woo the ladies.&nbsp; A must-see for all ages!&nbsp;

Joseph Hall, born in 1984 has been paying tribute to the legacy of Elvis Presley since 2006. He starred on NBC's America's Got Talent in 2008, making 6 TV appearances, viewed by more than 90 million people and placing as one of the top 10 finalists! Sharon Osbourne impressed enough to tell him, "I've got shoes older than you, but I'd like to try you on!" Also, Piers Morgan quoted saying, " ELVIS IS BACK!" Joseph Hall has performed all over the world! 

Joseph Hall has won accolades throughout his young career including the "Spirit of Elvis " award. Joseph Hall has worked with Elvis Presley Enterprises, Legends in Concert, and has officially been recognized as one of the top tribute artists in the world today. Hall says "My goal is to capture the essence of Elvis Presley, to pay tribute with the utmost respect to his legacy, his music, his image and above all else his fans.”&nbsp;

Jacob Tolstedt has been selected as North Platte Community College’s Business Student of the Month for October.

Tolstedt graduated from Alliance High School in 1996. He currently lives in North Platte and chose to attend NPCC because it’s in his hometown.

“I have been surprised at how accepting the faculty, staff and younger students are to an older student going back to school,” Tolstedt said of his experience so far. “Faculty in the business department have been very helpful in guiding me toward reaching my goals.”

Business instructor Cathy Nutt nominated Tolstedt for the Student of the Month recognition.

“Jake is an exemplary student who is a joy to have in class,” said Nutt. “He is always prepared, willing to answer and ask questions and appreciates the opportunity to get his education. Jake is a non-traditional student who manages a full-time job and a family and is an active Boy Scout leader. Yet, he still manages to excel in his coursework. It is that dedication and commitment that makes him stand out as an excellent choice for Business Student of the Month.”&nbsp;

Tolstedt is studying business administration at NPCC. He’s on track to graduate in the spring of 2025.

“I hope to use what I am learning at Mid-Plains to further my career with Murphy Tractor where I have worked as a diesel technician for the last 16 years,” said Tolstedt.

When not in class, Tolstedt enjoys spending time with his wife, Amanda, and serves as a Scout leader for Pack/Troop 292 - a role he has had for the past 12 years.
