Nebraska Extension will host Farm and Ranch Transition planning workshops in Oshkosh, and Alliance Nebraska Extension will host Transition Planning workshops for farmers and ranchers in Oshkosh and Alliance.&nbsp;

Nebraska Extension Educator, Jessica Groskopf will offer tools and strategies to plan, start effectively, and complete estate plans, offer background on common mistakes during the process, and highlight essential considerations for creating and carrying out estate and succession plans.

Following Groskopf’s presentation, Bridgeport Attorney, Katie Samples Dean, who focuses on estate and business planning for farmers and ranchers across Nebraska, Wyoming, and Colorado, will discuss the basics of estate planning in Nebraska, laws and other considerations in the transition; and where to go once you leave this presentation.

“The common mistake is that most know that they need a transition plan to pass their farm or ranch to the next generation, but never get around to putting a plan into a legal document,” Groskopf said. “Over several years, at the end of the workshop, the most common comment is that the participants wished that they had started learning the steps to start and complete a plan sooner.”

The program is free to attend, thanks to support from Big Iron Auctions. Registration is encouraged.&nbsp;

Preliminary results from the 2024 Nebraska November firearm deer season show statewide harvest was down 2% from 2023 and down 24% from the 2019-2023 average.

This was more successful than expected for the Nov. 16-24 season as November Firearm permit quotas were reduced 13% from 2023 in response to declining deer populations.

Mule deer buck harvest increased 9% from 2023, while whitetail buck harvest fell 2%. Antlerless mule deer harvest declined 10% from 2023, while antlerless whitetail increased 2%. All harvest levels are down significantly from the five-year average. Total deer harvest for the firearm season has declined each year since 2019.

“Nebraska Game and Parks significantly reduced permit quotas, intending to reduce harvest this year, due to lower numbers of deer,” said Luke Meduna, Game and Parks’ big game program manager. Deer populations in Nebraska have been declining in recent years due to drought conditions, severe winters and increased permit quotas in 2019 and 2020.

“Despite those lower deer populations and permit quotas, many Nebraska hunters found success and created great memories in the field this season,” he said.

Overall, November Firearm permit success was 2% higher at 40% this year, compared to 38% in 2023.

Final harvest results will be available following the close of all deer seasons. Archery season closes Dec. 31, while muzzleloader season is Dec. 1-31. The late antlerless season is Jan. 1-15, while the River Antlerless late season is Jan. 1-15.

Hunters are invited to learn more about the 2024 season, big game research, management and more at the big game public meetings scheduled in person and online beginning Dec. 9.

The Hot Sheets: December 5th, 2024

North Platte Community College’s STEM Club and Alpha Beta Theta, the college’s chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, are hosting Angel Trees to help children in need.

It’s part of a campaign by The Salvation Army of North Platte to provide gifts to the less fortunate during the holidays. Trees are located outside the welcome centers on the college’s north and south campuses.&nbsp;

Each tree is decorated with paper ornaments including basic information about the children as well as gifts they wish to receive.

People are encouraged to take an ornament, purchase a gift listed on the tag and then return the unwrapped item in a bag, with the tag attached, by Dec. 17 to The Salvation Army, 1020 N. Adams Ave.

Gifts can also be dropped off with math and physics instructor Jared Daily, in Room 217 of the Health and Science Center, or with history instructor Dr. Glynn Wolar in Room 145A of the McDonald-Belton Building.

Salvation Army volunteers will wrap the presents and distribute them to the participating children in time for Christmas.

December 4, 2024 — American Legion P.R. Halligan Post #163 in North Platte invites the public to watch the 125th&nbsp;Army-Navy Football Game presented by USAA on Dec. 14 at Brothers Tavern. The American Legion is the first veterans service organization to be an Associate Level Sponsor of "America's Game" in its history.

The sponsorship allows The American Legion, the nation’s largest veterans service organization with 1.7 million members, to raise awareness about Be the One, its primary mission to reduce the number of veterans and servicemembers lost to suicide.

"While we know the game will provide our nation's veterans and other fans entertainment, it's also true that many are suffering inside," American Legion Chief Marketing Officer Dean Kessel said. "That's why bringing Be the One to millions of military supporters is so important. By raising awareness of the suicide crisis in forums like this, we are effectively increasing the probability of servicemembers, veterans, their families, and other military supporters to Be the One to save one life."

When seconds matter, having the most up-to-date information is critical. Now, those serviced by the North Platte 911 Center, can connect with first responders through a new tool to help keep responders up to speed as they respond to calls for service.

It’s called “Prepared 911”, a cloud-based tool, used by first responders, when necessary, upon the 911 callers’ consent. The system will ensure the adequate response is given by deploying resources more efficiently.

Callers can send live video, photo, text, and GPS, and that information can subsequently be shared with first responders. “Prepared 911” allows telecommunicators to respond to those who are not able to connect for services by confirming if help is needed via text.&nbsp; “Prepared 911” also reduces language barriers with real-time, AI-powered transcription, translation and insights.

“Prepared 911” enables 911 telecommunicators to initiate live stream video with on scene callers and better connect with community members by translating in more than 140 languages and providing access to deaf and hard of hearing residents.

The feature was released internally a few weeks ago and is now accessible to the North Platte 911 Center community when a 911 call is placed.

The ability to see what is occurring before arrival provides significant safety benefits to the first responder and can facilitate decision-making in advance of being on scene.

North Platte Post/Sandhills Post&nbsp;

Hershey, Neb. - It's been nearly 9 months since an early March snowstorm caused a partial collapse of the roof of a popular western store, KJ's Boots and Western Wear in Hershey. &nbsp;

The exciting news is that progress is now underway to demolish the current building and start the process of building the new building for the store with the hopes of having it operational in late spring of 2025.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"We're thinking maybe by the end of the week we'll have the metal stripped off of it, and we're hoping by starting next week or so, we'll have maybe pushed it over and then hopefully start cleaning up by the end of next week," said Anthony Kuhlmann, KJ's Boots and Western Wear spokesperson. "So have it [property] probably emptied out tail end of next week to the start of the next, and hopefully by Christmas we'll actually have a pad on the ground so that way we can start construction back up."&nbsp;

When construction starts on the new building, customers may notice that the exterior of the structure might have a bit of a different look but the footprint of the interior of the building is going to look very similar.&nbsp; &nbsp;

KJ's Boots and Western Wear has two parts of the building with the South side being built in 1993 and the North side being built in 1996. The partial collapse occurred on the south end of the building. After clearing out the inventory and having a chance to inspect the building, the Kuhlmann family found out how much damage there was.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"So, at the start we knew the south end was a total loss, the north end; we knew there was going to be some damage to it. As the demo has started, we're starting to see that it was probably a little bit worse than what we had anticipated to begin with and it was probably a good idea that we went ahead and we're going to demo the entire building," said Kuhlmann.&nbsp;

A local crew is overseeing tear down of the building while Vap Construction from Atwood, Kansas will&nbsp; reconstruct the new building.&nbsp;&nbsp;

KJ's Boots and Western Wear was damaged March 7 and 8 when a record amount of snowfall for much of the listening area including Hershey.

 In an article published by the POST back in March, co-owner Kevin Kuhlmann had been clearing snow all day and that Friday afternoon was set to clear snow from KJ's parking lot since the store was closed due to the weather. Kuhlmann went inside and saw the southeast side of the building had partially collapsed due to the snow. That's when calls went out for help and a Facebook post was made asking people to come help.&nbsp;

"That was quite the blur when it happened. It started out with just the family up here starting to move things out. We knew we needed to move fast. The next thing I know it was just one person showing up, we didn't know who they were, and then another person showed up and next thing you know," said Kuhlmann. "I would say we easily had a hundred people show up from the community to help us out. The support we got from the community, it was amazing. We couldn't ask for more, a better place to be."&nbsp;

KJ's Boots and Western Wear has been open since June at their second location in North Platte at 601 East Francis Street. The store is open Monday - Saturday from 9:00am - 6:00pm and on Sunday from 1:00pm - 5:00pm.&nbsp;

(North Platte, Nebraska) – With the holiday season upon us, the Tourism Advisory Council (TAC) of North Platte has decided to continue our tradition of gifting two employees of a tourism driven business a basket of goodies to help them put together their holiday feasts! Each business that is a member of TAC puts in the name of one employee or volunteer from their organization that they would like to gift a meal to. 

These names are drawn, and one Thanksgiving basket is given, and one Christmas basket is given. TAC provides the turkey for the Thanksgiving basket and the ham for the Christmas basket, and the side dishes are donated by TAC members. This year the recipient of the Thanksgiving basket is a volunteer of the North Platte Pow Wow, and they received their meal the week of Thanksgiving. The recipient of the Christmas basket is an employee of Axes and Aces, and their basket will be delivered the week of Christmas.&nbsp;

The purpose of the Tourism Advisory Council is to advance the tourism industry in the City of North Platte/Lincoln County. We raise the standard and upgrade the economy of the tourism/lodging industry and maintain a front-line training program for all front-line employees because they all have a direct influence on tourism traffic. We also encourage and maintain truthfulness and fair play in advertising and general business practices, and we try to bring about a better public understanding of the aims and benefits of the tourism industry. We are continually working to establish a forum where ideas, information, and experience regarding the tourism industry can be exchanged to help better us all.&nbsp;

When we all work together to increase tourism within our community and to educate people about the benefits that tourism has on our community, we are more successful. It takes a lot of hard-working individuals to keep every business of TAC not only running but succeeding. That is why it is important to us that we recognize one of these individuals by gifting them this holiday basket. We would like to wish happy holidays to not only the recipient of this gift, but to everyone involved in this community. We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without all of you!&nbsp;

Visit North Platte(North Platte, Nebraska) – With the holiday season upon us, the Tourism Advisory Council (TAC) of North Platte has decided to continue our tradition of gifting two employees of a tourism driven business a basket of goodies to help them put together their holiday feasts! Each business that is a member of TAC puts in the name of one employee or volunteer from their organization that they would like to gift a meal to. These names are drawn, and one Thanksgiving basket is given, and one Christmas basket is given. TAC provides the turkey for the Thanksgiving basket and the ham for the Christmas basket, and the side dishes are donated by TAC members. This year the recipient of the Thanksgiving basket is a volunteer of the North Platte Pow Wow, and they received their meal the week of Thanksgiving. The recipient of the Christmas basket is an employee of Axes and Aces, and their basket will be delivered the week of Christmas.&nbsp;The purpose of the Tourism Advisory Council is to advance the tourism industry in the City of North Platte/Lincoln County. We raise the standard and upgrade the economy of the tourism/lodging industry and maintain a front-line training program for all front-line employees because they all have a direct influence on tourism traffic. We also encourage and maintain truthfulness and fair play in advertising and general business practices, and we try to bring about a better public understanding of the aims and benefits of the tourism industry. We are continually working to establish a forum where ideas, information, and experience regarding the tourism industry can be exchanged to help better us all.&nbsp;When we all work together to increase tourism within our community and to educate people about the benefits that tourism has on our community, we are more successful. It takes a lot of hard-working individuals to keep every business of TAC not only running but succeeding. That is why it is important to us that we recognize one of these individuals by gifting them this holiday basket. We would like to wish happy holidays to not only the recipient of this gift, but to everyone involved in this community. We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without all of you!&nbsp;Anyone interested in learning more about TAC or becoming a member is encouraged to reach out to Amanda Connick at aconnick@VisitNorthPlatte.com or 308-532-4729.&nbsp;

The Hot Sheet: December 4th, 2024

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (December 3, 2024) — A leading healthcare accreditation&nbsp; organization has recognized Great Plains Health for excellence in overall hospital care&nbsp; and two specialty programs. The Center for Improvement in Healthcare Quality (CIHQ)&nbsp; awarded the hospital:&nbsp;

• Primary Stroke Center certification&nbsp;

• Joint Replacement Center certification&nbsp;

During an on-site evaluation Oct. 15, CIHQ surveyors reviewed medical records,&nbsp; observed patient care and interviewed staff across all departments, focusing on safety&nbsp; measures, patient care standards and healthcare outcomes.&nbsp;

"This accreditation touches every corner of our hospital," said Barb Petersen, chief&nbsp; quality officer. "From our environmental services team to our surgeons, everyone played&nbsp; a part in meeting these national standards. It confirms what I see every day — our&nbsp; team's total commitment to quality care."&nbsp;

The hospital's Primary Stroke Center certification validates its ability to provide rapid&nbsp; response and advanced care for stroke patients, while the Joint Replacement Center&nbsp; certification recognizes excellence in orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation services.&nbsp; These specialized certifications highlight Great Plains Health's expanding role as a&nbsp; regional healthcare leader.&nbsp;

"CIHQ's goal is to partner with hospitals to improve the care provided in our&nbsp; communities," said Richard Curtis, chief executive officer of CIHQ. "CIHQ is proud to&nbsp; recognize Great Plains Health for achieving accreditation."&nbsp;

The accreditation and certifications demonstrate Great Plains Health's compliance with&nbsp; national healthcare standards and Medicare requirements and ensures the community&nbsp; has access to quality care that meets the highest national standards.

KEARNEY – University of Nebraska at Kearney senior Abbygail Marshall sat down at a piano inside the Fine Arts Building on campus.

“I’m your metronome, so listen to me,” she told a dozen young musicians gathered in the rehearsal space.

UNK junior Noah Reimer stood beside her, ready to guide the elementary students through a performance of “Five Note Fiddler.”

“1, 2. 1, 2. Beginning. Go,” Marshall said before the small ensemble started to play.

With Reimer co-leading on the violin, Marshall provided feedback and instructions as the group worked through the piece.

“We have a wide variety of personalities and different skill levels in this room,” Marshall said. “That’s something I really enjoy. It’s fun to create a class where you have to mesh those personalities and skill levels together and find a middle ground that works for everybody. It’s just challenging in that way, the teaching aspect of it.”

Marshall, Reimer and two other undergraduate students are teachers for the UNK String Project, which provides high-quality, low-cost music instruction for Kearney-area youths in grades 3-12.

Part of the National String Project Consortium, which includes about 40 institutions across the country, the UNK program was launched in 2008 to improve access to music education in central Nebraska and inspire a lifelong passion for music among participants. About 30 students, most in elementary or middle school, are taking classes this semester.

“Music education is important because it teaches kids about a different aspect of life and gives them something to work toward that’s not regular schoolwork or sports. It makes them more well-rounded as they grow up,” Reimer said. “Even if they don’t pursue music professionally, it’s still a good thing to have in your life.”

A&nbsp;<a href="https://www.unk.edu/academics/music/index.php">music performance major</a>&nbsp;from Bellevue, Reimer started taking lessons at age 3, learning alongside his mother. Now, he plays the violin and cello, teaches private lessons at Yandas Music in downtown Kearney and performs with the Kearney Symphony Orchestra, Kearney Chamber Orchestra, Hastings Symphony Orchestra and Thornton String Quartet, a select UNK student ensemble.

He’s been part of the UNK String Project since 2022.

“I started teaching private lessons when I was in high school, and I enjoyed that. When I came here, Dr. Rogoff asked about teaching in the classroom, which I’d never done before, so I wanted that experience,” said Reimer, who won the UNK Concerto/Aria Competition in 2023. “I just want to be able to share music with as many people as I can.”

The UNK String Project offers beginning, intermediate and advanced instruction in viola, bass, cello and violin, with classes meeting twice a week on campus. The cost is just $50 per semester – and instruments can be rented from UNK if a student doesn’t own one – so it’s an affordable option for most families.

“That’s been important to us,” said UNK music professor Noah Rogoff. “Musical talent is not limited to any particular group of people. It exists in everybody, everywhere. In order to maximize the potential of that talent, we want to make it as accessible as possible.”

As director of the UNK String Project, Rogoff teaches classes and mentors the UNK student instructors, who receive a stipend for their work. He also organizes the end-of-semester concerts showcasing program participants and plans an end-of-the-year party.

“My favorite part is the joy and energy and excitement that the students bring every single day when we see them,” said Rogoff, who served as chair of the National String Project Consortium Board the past two years. “They always have a way to surprise you and make you feel the same joy that they feel. It’s really a virtuous circle where we inspire each other.”

In addition to inspiring and training young musicians, the UNK String Project supports the next generation of music educators. Although teaching positions are available for any UNK student with a background in string instruments, most of them are studying either music education or music performance.

“There’s nothing else like this in terms of giving undergraduates a chance to do hands-on teaching as early as their freshman year,” Rogoff said. “By the time they’re student teaching or going out into the profession, they feel really comfortable in the classroom and they feel comfortable directing an ensemble in a concert because they’ve had those experiences for a number of years already.”

A&nbsp;<a href="https://www.unk.edu/academics/music/undergraduate-programs/music-education-k-12.php">music education major</a>, Marshall is in her fourth year as an instructor for the UNK String Project and third year as the head teacher. She calls it her “pre-experience,” an opportunity to work directly with students and gain valuable insights before her professional career begins.

“I think it’s really fun, too,” she said. “I enjoy the kids and getting to teach them the instruments that I play.”

The North Platte native has always loved music. She began playing the piano at age 7 and violin at age 10. Orchestra and band were “always the best part of the day,” according to Marshall, who decided to pursue music education so she could share that passion with others.

“Music can be an emotional outlet for students or an escape from their everyday routine,” she said. “It also opens the door to the world. We study different cultures and different historical eras through music without even realizing that we’re doing it.”

Marshall has been part of the Thornton String Quartet, Symphonic Band and Kearney Symphony Orchestra during her time at UNK, and she’s currently student teaching at Kearney Public Schools. She’ll start her professional career as an elementary music teacher at KPS next fall.

“I hope to lead generations of children into having a love and appreciation for music in all aspects,” Marshall said. “I hope to open doors to things that they did not know were possible, whether that be other cultures, future career paths or just a deep emotional connection to music.

“Music is for everyone; they don’t need to master an instrument to be part of it.”

North Platte, Ne - The Lincoln, Logan, McPherson County Extension Office recently announced the formation of a "First Lego Robotics League". According to Extension Educator Caitlyn Jacobson, the league programs and codes robots to go through obsicle courses. Jacobson said "theres a team of young people that programs and codes a robot to go through an obstacle course. Every year the state has a competition in Lincoln along with competitions around the state; but there's a different obstacle every year and you just kinda work towards as a team figuring out how to program your robot to successfully go through this obstacle course."

Nick Newland, a local 12 year old recently signed up for the team joined Jacobson in the Eagle Media Studio to talk about the new program, Nick says, "I really like doing Legos and my mom told me about 4-H and that they have a robotics class and I was really excited because I'm really into coding and doing robotics and Legos and she told me that was for Legos too, and I was really excited when she said she could sign up."

(LISTEN TO FULL INTERVIEW HERE, Sponsored by North Platte Kubota)

Many think 4H is all about arts, crafts and animals, but according to Jacobson, "our main wheel-house is about finding out what our youth are interested in and how we can essentially get them to where we want them to go, and to grow in a positive way and be able to thrive in today's world. You know there's a whole lot of jobs in that realm that haven't even been invented yet and this is a great way for you to get their toes in and be prepared when they step out post high school when they leave and they go to college or whatever they're gonna do post high school. Then they have that experience a little little bit already so they're just that much more prepared to take whatever life throws at them. A lot of people pointed out that technology is incorporated into any job that you were going into and that's really kind of where our focus is,&nbsp; just looking at the big picture and seeing how we can help prepare our youth for right now that will help them in their future".&nbsp;
