The Mid-Plains Community College Imperial Campus will offer a personal property inheritance workshop Oct. 11.

“Who Gets Grandma’s Yellow Pie Plate?” will be led by Brandi Hilton-Hagemann, extension educator for Rural Prosperity Nebraska.

The program is designed for people of all ages seeking useful information about the inheritance of personal property of low monetary but high sentimental value. It will provide research-informed practical strategies to protect family relationships when passing on personal possessions.

Items such as pie plates, quilts, jewelry, photographs, books and documents of family significance are often overlooked during estate planning sessions because they are considered non-titled property, yet decisions about those items can become major challenges for family members.

Hilton-Hagemann will help participants set personal goals, decide what is fair for their family situation, discuss why belongings have different meaning for various family members, consider distribution options and consequences and practice conflict resolution tactics.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The class is scheduled for 5:30-8 p.m. at the MPCC Imperial Campus in Imperial.

The cost is $15. Registration can be done online at&nbsp;<a href="https://bceregister.mpcc.edu/" target="_blank">bceregister.mpcc.edu</a>, by calling the campus at (308) 882-5972 or emailing&nbsp;<a href="mailto:imperial@mpcc.edu">imperial@mpcc.edu</a>.

Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department (SWNPHD) encourages residents to get their flu shots and COVID-19 booster shots to protect against respiratory illnesses this winter. Cases of COVID-19 were minimal in the health district over the summer, with an average of 2 cases per week. SWNPHD saw a small bump in case numbers at the end of summer and expects another wave of widespread infections during the fall and winter.

Influenza (flu) and COVID-19 are caused by viruses that are ever evolving and changing. This means that as our immune systems fight off infection, the viruses adapt to avoid being detected. When large numbers of people are infected at the same time as happens with flu and COVID, the viruses change more quickly. This is why researchers work to provide updated shots often, to better protect against the more recent strains of flu and COVID-19 that have been circulating.

Influenza (flu) is a potentially fatal, contagious respiratory illness caused by viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs. Flu vaccines prevent and diminish the severity of flu-related illness, reducing the need for medical care and hospitalization.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Most people infected with the virus experience mild respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. However, some people become seriously ill and require medical attention. The COVID vaccines significantly reduce the risk of developing severe COVID-19 complications and hospitalization, protecting against avoidable severe illness or death.

Everyone ages 6 months and older are recommended to get the updated flu shots and Covid shots, which will be available at SWNPHD offices in McCook and Ogallala starting in October. For those who recently had a COVID shot, they can get the updated shot two months after their last dose. 

According to the CDC, it is safe and acceptable to receive COVID-19 vaccine and flu vaccine during the same appointment. These are separate shots and are not combined into one shot. Check with your healthcare provider if you have questions about getting multiple vaccinations at one time. 

For more information, call SWNPHD at 308-345-4223. Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department serves Chase, Dundy, Frontier, Furnas, Hayes, Hitchcock, Keith, Perkins, and Red Willow counties.  Follow SWNPHD on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok or view the website at www.swhealth.ne.gov which contains many resources and additional information helpful to prevent disease, promote and protect health.

Flu Shots and COVID-19 Boosters

North Platte Community College’s jazz band has been invited to open for and play with the Glenn Miller Orchestra next month.

The performance will begin at 4 p.m. Oct. 8 at The Golden Husk, the historic theater located in downtown Ord.

“We are thrilled that the Jazzy Knights are providing preshow entertainment,” said Jennifer Winder, adjunct music instructor. “Most of all, we are grateful for the opportunity to perform with the iconic Glenn Miller Orchestra - a chance of a lifetime for any musician. This is sure to be an unforgettable performance for our Mid-Plains students.”&nbsp;

With its unique jazz sound, the Glenn Miller Orchestra is considered to be one of the greatest bands of all time.

It is the most popular and sought after big band in the world for both concert and swing dance engagements. The present Glenn Miller Orchestra was formed in 1956 and has been touring around the globe ever since.

The fact that NPCC students will be part of the Ord performance brings the orchestra full circle, as founder Glenn Miller got his musical start while in elementary school in North Platte in the early 1900s.

After his father brought home a mandolin one day, Miller promptly traded it for an old, battered horn, which he practiced every chance he got. The instrument would lead to a lifetime obsession with music for Miller, who would come to be known as the father of modern U.S. military bands.

His orchestra’s best-selling records include Miller’s theme song, “Moonlight Serenade,” and the first gold record ever made, “Chattanooga Choo Choo.”

In 1954, Miller was the subject of a partly fictionalized film biography, “The Glenn Miller Story,” starring James Stewart. Miller posthumously received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003.

During the concert in Ord, orchestra director Eric Stabnau and the 18-member ensemble will play many favorite original Miller arrangements as well as more modern selections performed in the Miller style and sound.

Along with the orchestra, vocalist Jenny Swoish, will perform individually and as part of The Moonlight Serenaders® vocal group.

Tickets are available at The Golden Husk by calling (308) 730-8133, through the Ord Area Chamber of Commerce at (308) 728-7875 and online at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.goldenhuskarts.org/" target="_blank">goldenhuskarts.org</a>. Admission is $25 for adults, $12 for students 18 and younger and $75 for a family pass.

The event is possible thanks to the support of the Nebraska Arts Council and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment.

Possible chance of severe weather in North Platte Thursday

Post News Director Canon Rath chatted with councilman Ty Lucas about the September 19th North Platte City Council.&nbsp;&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE - The September 19th North Platte City Council meeting has officially passed by. This week's city council meeting was a rather quick one as there was not a whole lot of agenda to discuss. The approval of fireworks for the North Platte Public Schools was granted, Ty Lucas also talks about user fees, another discussion was the housing problem in North Platte, and finally Lucas gave his perspective from the Union Pacific rail car that caught on fire last Thursday.&nbsp;

Lucas gives a good insight on the topics discussed in this city council meeting recap. If you would like to hear the two conversations about the meeting, check out the podcast.

This week's city council meeting was a rather quick one as there was not a whole lot of agenda to discuss. The approval of fireworks for the North Platte Public Schools was granted, Ty Lucas also talks about user fees, another discussion was the housing problem in North Platte, and finally Lucas gave his perspective from the Union Pacific rail car that caught on fire last Thursday.&nbsp;Lucas gives a good insight on the topics discussed in this city council meeting recap.

The North Platte Community College music department has received a grant that will make it easier for students to perform at community events.

The music department was awarded a&nbsp;$5,224 grant from the James and Betty Keenan Fund. The money was used to purchase 12 new iPads that the music students can load their sheet music onto for community performances.

The iPads will be especially useful during windy days and in venues with constricted spaces. They will also be used for Music Theory and other classes.

“We are touched by the generosity of the Keenan family – they see the value music has in the lives of our students,” said Kristin Simpson, music instructor. “We are excited to use the iPads. Not only are they practical, but they align perfectly with the forward-thinking we strive for within the NPCC music department.”

Simpson said she’s grateful to the NPCC administration and Grants Coordinator Kristin Borman for their support of the endeavor.

<a>“These iPads will benefit the education, growth and development of our students as musicians, which is the number one focus of our department,” said Simpson. “We are thrilled to be able to increase our technological capabilities.”</a>

Hershey Public Schools has completed Phases 2 &amp; 3a of the renovation project which began in the fall of 2022.&nbsp; The overarching goals of phase 2 &amp; 3 were to renovate the 1959 building and to increase instructional space in all elementary classrooms.&nbsp; This included converting the 1959 gym into a K-12 Library/Media Center and collaboration space, special education, and Guidance classrooms.

 A secure entrance into the building was also constructed in Phase 2 of the renovation project. This entrance was constructed at the South Bus Doors of the 1959 portion of the building.&nbsp; This entrance is utilized during business hours and all individuals are required to enter here to meet with a receptionist before entering the building during normal business hours.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hershey will be hosting an Open House for all stakeholders to come and see the updates to the facilities.&nbsp; The open house will be held in conjunction with the annual PK-6 Open House on Tuesday, September 26, 2023.&nbsp; We are excited to announce that Hershey State Bank &amp; Hershey Agency will once again sponsor the event.&nbsp; The event will include a short presentation by Dr. McConnell (in the east gym), Group led tour (throughout the elementary classrooms), and a meal (South parking lot) presented by Hershey State Bank and Hershey Agency!&nbsp; The public is invited to attend either tour and are welcome to participate in all events! Parents and students are encouraged to choose a session that fits your child's grade level!&nbsp;

**Please park in the south gravel lot OR west crushed rock lot.&nbsp; The south concrete lot will be closed for the refreshments to be provided by Hershey State Bank..&nbsp; Each session will start in the East Gym!&nbsp; Enter through the South HS Commons Door.&nbsp;

The set up for this year’s Open House will include 2 sessions: 4:30-5:30 PM &amp; 5:30-6:30 PM. Each session will follow the same setup, starting with a short presentation in the (#1)east gym, followed by a teacher/principal led group tour (#2), finishing the evening with a meal (#3) sponsored by Hershey State Bank and Hershey Agency.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

If possible, we encourage PK-2 parents to attend Session I with 3-6 parents attending the second session.&nbsp; Our goal is to have equal sized groups.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Lincoln, NE – September 19, 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 26 consecutive Powerball drawings since July 22 without a jackpot winner. This run has grown the estimated jackpot for the Wednesday, September 20 drawing to $672 million or $320.5 million with the cash option selected. This is the 10th largest jackpot in the history of the game.

This jackpot run has produced one big Powerball winner 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>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 $936 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.
