NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (July 29, 2025) — After two days of competition on North Platte’s premier golf courses, the 2025 North Platte Junior Ambassadors Golf Tournament crowned its age-group champions Tuesday following the final round at Rivers Edge Golf Course.

The annual two-day event brought together dozens of young golfers ranging from age 7 to 18. The opening round was held Monday at Lake Maloney Golf Course, with Tuesday’s final round challenging players with the tighter fairways and hazards of Rivers Edge.

In the 16-18 boys division, Reid Loop emerged as the overall winner with a two-day total of +8, fending off a charge from Logan Hayes (+16) and Camden Weaver (+17). Loop’s consistent play across both days proved key as he held off a competitive field of 19 players.

Among younger players, Cooper Rippen took the Boys 7-9 title with a total of +10, finishing ten strokes ahead of runner-up Carter Schwartz (+20). Rippen’s opening round lead held strong despite pressure from the field.

Henry Amen dazzled in the Boys 10-11 category, shooting a tournament-best -8, the only sub-par performance across all age groups. Elias Champ placed second at -1, while Ryan O’Neill finished third at +11.

The Girls 16-18 division was won by Allie Jones with a two-day total of +25, ahead of Sawyer Swarm (+30) and Ansley Cadwallader (+59).

In the Girls 8-10 division, Merelise Champ topped the leaderboard at +25, while Hadley Amen claimed the Girls 11-12 title at +17. Micajah Long shot +38 to win the Girls 14-15 flight.

The Junior Ambassadors tournament remains a showcase for youth golf in western Nebraska, offering players a chance to compete in a formal setting and prepare for future high school and collegiate competition.

Union Pacific Railroad Press Release

Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE: UNP) and Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE: NSC) today announced an agreement to create America’s first transcontinental railroad. These legendary companies will seamlessly connect over 50,000 route miles across 43 states from the East Coast to the West Coast, linking approximately 100 ports and nearly every corner of North America. This combination will transform the U.S. supply chain, unleash the industrial strength of American manufacturing, and create new sources of economic growth and workforce opportunity that preserves union jobs.&nbsp;

Under the terms of the agreement, Union Pacific will acquire Norfolk Southern in a stock and cash transaction, implying a value for Norfolk Southern of $320 per share based on Union Pacific’s unaffected closing stock price on July 16, 2025[1], and representing a 25% premium to Norfolk Southern’s 30-trading day volume weighted average price on July 16, 2025. The value per share implies an enterprise value of $85 billion for Norfolk Southern, resulting in the creation of a combined enterprise of over $250 billion.

“Railroads have been an integral part of building America since the Industrial Revolution, and this transaction is the next step in advancing the industry,” said Jim Vena, Union Pacific Chief Executive Officer. “Imagine seamlessly hauling steel from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Colton, California and moving tomato paste from Huron, California to Fremont, Ohio. Lumber from the Pacific Northwest, plastics from the Gulf Coast, copper from Arizona and Utah, and soda ash from Wyoming. Right now, tens of thousands of railroaders are moving almost everything we use. You name it, and at some point, the railroad hauled it.”

The Union Pacific Transcontinental Railroad will connect people, strengthen communities, and build a stronger, more competitive America. Both railroads envision every union employee who wants a job in the combined company will have one.

Together, the companies aim to be the safest railroad in North America and deliver the service customers rely on with operational excellence. The combined company will deliver faster, more comprehensive freight service to U.S. shippers by eliminating interchange delays, opening new routes, expanding intermodal services, and reducing distance and transit time on key rail corridors. A more truck-competitive solution, the Union Pacific Transcontinental Railroad will decrease highway congestion, reducing wear-and-tear on taxpayer-funded roads. Today, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern invest approximately $5.6 billion annually in infrastructure, innovation, and network expansion.

“Norfolk Southern, like Union Pacific, is a railroad integral to the U.S. economy, with a storied 200-year legacy of serving customers across 22 states in the eastern half of the nation,” said Mark George, CEO of Norfolk Southern. “Our safety, network, and financial performance is among the best we’ve had as a company, as is our customer satisfaction. And it is from this position of strength that we embark on this transformational combination. We are confident that the power of Norfolk Southern’s franchise, diversified solutions, high-quality customers and partners, as well as skilled employees, will contribute meaningfully to America’s first transcontinental railroad, and to igniting rail’s ability to deliver for the whole American economy today and into the future. Union Pacific is a true partner that shares our belief in rail’s ability to deliver for all stakeholders simultaneously, and we are excited for our future together.”

“This combination is transformational, enhancing the best freight transportation system in the world – it's a win for the American economy, it's a win for our customers, and it’s a win for our people,” Vena said. “It builds on President Abraham Lincoln’s vision of a transcontinental railroad from nearly 165 years ago and advances our Safety, Service and Operational Excellence Strategy. I am confident this historic transaction will enhance competition to benefit customers, communities, and employees while delivering shareholder value.”

The Hot Sheets: July 29, 2025

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (July 28, 2025) — Longtime Lincoln County Commissioner Joseph Hewgley was honored Monday morning during a surprise reception at the Lincoln County Commissioners meeting, celebrating four decades of service to the county.

Commission Chairwoman Micaela Wuehler led the recognition, presenting Hewgley with the prestigious Admiral’s Award on behalf of the Nebraska Governor. She also presented a personalized plaque created by Squared Away Engraving of North Platte, and thanked Hewgley for his leadership and mentorship over the years.

“Joe has been a mentor to many,” Wuehler said. “His knowledge, consistency, and dedication to conservative budgeting have left a lasting mark on Lincoln County.”

Sheriff Jerome Kramer also took the podium to present a plaque of appreciation on behalf of the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. He praised Hewgley’s long-standing support and collaboration with law enforcement.

State Sen. Mike Jacobson presented a Certificate of Appreciation and acknowledged Hewgley’s strong working relationship with the Nebraska Legislature.

“Joe has brought decades of knowledge and common-sense leadership to the table,” Jacobson said. “His work has benefited not just Lincoln County, but the entire state.”

In addition to Hewgley’s recognition, the board also honored Jeff Snyder, a Lincoln County Roads Department employee, for 10 years of service. Roads Superintendent Jason Schultz presented Snyder with a certificate and thanked him for his continued dedication to the county’s infrastructure.

“Jeff’s commitment to his work ensures our roads remain safe and reliable,” Schultz said.

Both recognitions were met with warm applause and standing ovations from those in attendance.

Marriage Licenses Issued this week in Lincoln County (July 27, 2025)

North Platte, Neb. – On Friday, July 25, at approximately 7:02 p.m., officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to a report of a motorcycle crash involving injuries at the intersection of 6th Street and Jeffers Street.

The investigation determined that 26-year-old Tyler Irish was traveling northbound on Jeffers Street on a motorcycle. At the same time, 45-year-old Derrick Harrison was riding a bicycle westbound on 6th Street. Harrison reportedly bypassed vehicles stopped at the stop sign on 6th and entered the intersection, continuing westbound.

Another northbound vehicle in the right lane may have obstructed Harrison’s view of Irish, who was traveling in the inside northbound lane. As Harrison entered that lane, Irish attempted to brake to avoid a collision but was unable to stop in time.

Following the impact between the motorcycle and bicycle, Irish was thrown from the motorcycle and struck a metal signpost at the south end of the Jeffers Street viaduct.

Responding officers immediately began CPR and deployed an automated external defibrillator (AED) until the North Platte Fire Department arrived and took over lifesaving efforts. Irish was transported to Great Plains Health, where he was later pronounced deceased.

Harrison was also transported to Great Plains Health, where he is currently receiving treatment for his injuries.

The Nebraska State Patrol assisted in the ongoing investigation.

WATCH Swine, Poultry & Rabbit Shows LIVE from Lincoln County Fair

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (July 25, 2025) — A local firefighter took top honors at the “You Can Be a Star” talent show Thursday afternoon at the Lincoln County Fair, earning a spot in the statewide Galaxy of Stars competition next month.

Jeremy Condon, a firefighter with the North Platte Fire Department, opened the competition with an original song, accompanying himself on guitar. Moments after his performance, he had to leave the fairgrounds to report for duty — unaware that just two hours later, he would be named the winner.

The show is part of the Galaxy of the Stars program created by Wynne Adams and held annually at county fairs across Nebraska. As the first-place winner, Condon automatically qualifies for the statewide finals at the Nebraska State Fair in Grand Island. The top prize at that competition is a $4,500 recording package in Nashville.

Thedford’s Brayden Hickman, 14, was named first runner-up. Hickman also competed in last year’s local talent show. Second runner-up honors went to Gavon Schurr.

The event drew a crowd of spectators and showcased a range of local talent across all age groups.

Wynne Adams, who hosts and organizes the event, said the show continues to be a platform for young performers and emerging artists to shine on a larger stage.

The Galaxy of Stars State Finals are scheduled for late August at the Nebraska State Fair.

The Hot Sheets: July 25, 2025

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — Families in the North Platte area are invited to a one-stop community health event this Friday, July 25, at Mid-Plains Community College’s North Campus, where organizers hope to eliminate barriers and connect residents to vital services — all while having a little fun.

Running from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., the Community Health Fair is a collaborative effort led by organizations including Hope Esperanza, Great Plains Health, West Central District Health Department, North Platte Public Schools, and People’s Health. This year’s event moves to the college’s North Campus at 1101 Halligan Drive, with health booths, safety resources, and school-readiness support available to the public at no cost.

Maria Rodriguez of Hope Esperanza, a nonprofit helping bridge language gaps and connect underserved residents to resources, said the event is designed to streamline back-to-school preparations for local families — particularly those new to the area.

“It’s a one-stop shop where parents can take their children to get vaccines, health screenings, school registrations, safety education, and so much more,” Rodriguez said in a radio interview this week. “We have a lot of newcomers, and we’ve been encouraging them to come, because they can get almost everything done in one visit.”

Booths inside the college cafeteria will feature health screenings, vaccinations, educational materials, and community resources. Outside, families can enjoy kid-friendly activities including a helicopter landing by LifeNet at 4:30 p.m., free backpacks for children who complete activity cards, and grilled food provided by Sustainable Beef, using a grill donated by First Interstate Bank.

Hope Esperanza will also provide language access services for non-English speakers — a core part of its mission, which began with outreach to minority communities but has since expanded to serve all residents.

“We started this to bridge the language gap, but we saw the greater need across the whole community,” Rodriguez said. “This is also a great place to learn about resources people may not need now but could need in the future.”

Rodriguez credited funding from the Nebraska Blue Foundation for helping make the event possible. Part of the grant supports the health fair, while the remainder will fund ongoing health-focused programs through Hope Esperanza.

With school just weeks away, organizers hope families will take advantage of the opportunity to prepare — and enjoy a fun Friday afternoon.

“Bring the kids — there’s something for everyone,” Rodriguez said. “We hope to see you all there.”

NORTH PLATTE, Neb - A fast-moving thunderstorm dumped torrential rain across western Nebraska Wednesday afternoon, triggering flash flooding in parts of Ogallala and North Platte.

According to the National Weather Service in North Platte, the storm brought between 1.50 and 2.00 inches of rainfall within a single hour, overwhelming storm drains and sending water spilling over streets, sidewalks, and low-lying areas.

In Ogallala, several intersections were temporarily impassable, with water pooling across residential blocks and portions of downtown. Local law enforcement urged drivers to avoid flooded roadways and use caution during the heaviest part of the storm, which struck between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m.

In North Platte, flash flooding swamped storm drains and sent small creeks spilling out of their banks. City crews were dispatched to clear debris from blocked drains and monitor flood-prone areas.

No major injuries were reported, but officials said some vehicles were stranded, and a handful of basements experienced minor flooding.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb - With the help of a $10,000 grant from the Nebraska Blue Foundation, HOPE Esperanza is expanding its efforts to improve health access and education in the North Platte area.

The grant will support the organization’s HOPE for Health: Empowering Community Wellness program, including the upcoming Community Health Fair scheduled for Friday, July 25, from 3 to 8 p.m. at Mid-Plains Community College’s North Campus. The annual event is expected to serve more than 900 individuals with access to free health screenings, vaccinations, school registration assistance, food and safety resources, and other vital services.

“When we serve diverse populations, breaking down barriers to health and cultural understanding is critical,” said TinaMaria Fernandez, founder and executive director of HOPE Esperanza. “We’re working to remove obstacles like language, transportation and access to care so that everyone has a chance to live a healthy life.”

The Nebraska Blue Foundation’s support will also fund five key areas of HOPE Esperanza’s year-round wellness programming:

“The work HOPE Esperanza is doing in North Platte is so important,” said Jay Warren-Teamer, executive director of the Nebraska Blue Foundation. “This grant is a great example of how we can champion health and well-being for communities across Nebraska.”

The Nebraska Blue Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska, awarded $300,000 in grants to 20 nonprofits this spring to support preventive care and senior wellness statewide.
