NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (June 18, 2025) — North Platte’s City Council held a brief but productive meeting Tuesday night, highlighted by community recognition and a handful of routine agenda items. Mayor Brandon Kelliher joined FM 98.1 and Z93.5 Country Wednesday morning to recap the meeting and discuss ongoing city initiatives.

Among the highlights of Tuesday’s meeting was the swearing-in of a new fire department lieutenant, Lt. Archuleta, and recognition of North Platte’s 42nd consecutive year as a Tree City USA. The annual Tree Board presentation emphasized the city’s commitment to tree maintenance and sustainability.

The Council also honored community mentor Steven Heinzle, who recently received the State of Nebraska’s Mentor of the Year award for his work with youth through Community Connections.

On the business side, the Council approved updates to the city’s snow removal program to better align with city ordinances. Council members also approved board appointments and reappointments to the Board of Adjustment — including Sonya Voycheske, Jarid Childers, and Tanner Pettera — and discussed the importance of their role in handling zoning variances.

Mayor Kelliher described the Board of Adjustment as a kind of “last resort” for zoning appeals. “Sometimes people have extenuating circumstances, and this board provides a fair, thoughtful process to determine if an exception is warranted,” he said.

The Council also approved annual grant applications for the North Platte Public Transit system and a small grant through the Nebraska State Historical Society, which could support city-led or third-party historic preservation efforts.

Looking ahead, Mayor Kelliher spoke about a potential temporary four-way stop at Philip and Buffalo Bill Avenue when school resumes, in response to local traffic concerns. “It’s something we’re considering as a test,” he said. “We’ll get public feedback and see if it makes sense long-term.”

The mayor also promoted Thursday morning’s Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast, a long-standing Nebraskaland Days tradition. This year’s keynote speaker is Dr. Ron Titus, an educator, author, and North Platte native. The event begins with breakfast at 7am at Venue 304, with tickets available online at Nebraskalanddays.com or at the door.

In the closing portion of the interview, Mayor Kelliher emphasized the importance of transparency and public communication in city government. “It’s an important part of living in a democracy to be able to watch and pay attention to what your government’s doing,” Kelliher said. “We try to make it easy — through our website, live YouTube streams, social media, and community media like the North Platte Post and local radio.”

He encouraged residents to stay informed and to reach out with feedback. “When people are informed, they can contact their representatives, call them, email them, or even run into them at the store,” he said. “We love hearing from the public — it helps us make better decisions.”

One future challenge on the city’s radar: downtown parking. With more businesses thriving and second-story apartments filling up, parking demand is growing.

“It’s a great problem to have,” said Kelliher. “Ten years ago, you didn’t have trouble finding a place to park downtown — now, it's a regular concern, especially with events at places like Venue 304, the Fox Theatre, and local restaurants. We’ll have to look at long-term solutions, and we’ll need public input as we do that.”

Mayor Kelliher closed by encouraging residents to enjoy the many events happening during Nebraskaland Days. “It’s a great time to be in North Platte,” he said. “Get out and enjoy it.”

NORTH PLATTE, Neb - The thunder of hooves and history returns to Nebraska this month as the 2025 Pony Express National Re-Ride makes its way across the state June 18–20, retracing one of the most storied mail routes in American history.

The annual 1,966-mile reenactment began in St. Joseph, Missouri, and will continue around the clock until reaching Sacramento, California. Riders carry a mochila—an iconic leather mail pouch—on horseback across eight states, passing through historic towns and landmarks just as riders did in 1860 and 1861.

In Nebraska, the ride kicks off Wednesday, June 18, at Lyman with a ceremonial handoff from Wyoming. Riders will gallop through key heritage stops including Scottsbluff National Monument, Chimney Rock, and on into central Nebraska.

Locally, the route will include events in Ogallala at Tri-Trails Park around 8:30 a.m. on June 19, celebrating the area's rich pioneer legacy tied to the Pony Express, Oregon Trail, and Texas Trail. Later, the riders will pass near North Platte and that evening, riders will pass south of Gothenburg near Midway Ranch—an important nighttime relay stop—and continue eastward toward Fort Kearny.

The original Pony Express operated only briefly—from April 1860 to October 1861—but its impact was lasting. Riders braved the elements to carry mail between Missouri and California in just 10 days, bridging vast distances before the transcontinental telegraph.

For communities like North Platte, once a vital hub on the Overland Trail and later the Union Pacific Railroad, the Pony Express symbolizes both frontier resilience and the foundations of modern communication.

This year’s ride offers a living history experience and a moment to honor the grit and courage of the young riders who helped shape the American West.

North Platte City Council to Address Liquor Licenses, Cruise Night, and Snow Removal Program at Tuesday Meeting

NORTH PLATTE, Ne - When Tanner Drueke was a little boy, he rummaged through his dad's old rodeo gear bag, finding the remnants of Bart Drueke's bull riding career.

And that was just more fuel for the Sutherland man’s love of rodeo.

Now Drueke, age 21, is competing professionally in the PRCA and will ride at the Buffalo Bill Rodeo in North Platte on June 20. He also competes in regional associations like the Nebraska State Rodeo Association (NSRA) and the Mid-States Rodeo Association (MSRA).

He rode bulls, like his dad, in high school, but he also rode bareback horses, and that’s where he found his niche.

In high school, Drueke qualified for the Nebraska State High School Finals three times, then went on to the National High School Finals Rodeo three times.

He attended Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne, Wyo., rodeoing collegiately, and graduating with an associate’s degree in electrical technology.

By the time Drueke was born to Bart and Crystal, his dad had pretty much quit rodeoing, but Tanner saw the memorabilia around the house, the mementos of his dad’s rodeo career, and he loved it.

“I saw all the stuff on the wall and thought I wanted to do it,” he said.

Now, he’s working for a rancher near Paxton and rodeoing professionally. His goal is to be among the top fifteen bareback riders in the Prairie Circuit (the pro rodeos in Nebraska Kansas and Oklahoma), and compete at the Prairie Circuit Finals Rodeo in Kansas in November.

He’s sitting eighth in the Prairie Circuit right now, and has won a few checks, including a second place finish in Strong City Kan., a fourth place finish in Abbyville, Kan., and a third place in Springfield, Neb., enough to keep him on the rodeo road.

Another young bareback rider from Nebraska will compete in North Platte at the Buffalo Bill Rodeo.

Spencer DeNaeyer, Seneca, is friends and traveling partners with Drueke.

A 2022 Mullen High School graduate, he competed at the Neb. State High School Finals and at the National High School Finals Rodeo, finishing eleventh at Nationals his senior year.

DeNaeyer went to Odessa (Texas) College, earned a degree in ag business, and rodeoed for them.

Now he lives in Cheyenne, Wyo. with his fiancée Kaydence Bartlett. He broke his wrist during a ride at a rodeo in Montana last September and is just now back to riding. &nbsp;

The break, in the scaphoid bone of the wrist, is usually a “career-ender,” DeNaeyer said. It required surgery, but he’s back to competition. It hurts, but “not that bad,” he said. “Not enough to quit” rodeoing.

Like Drueke, DeNaeyer’s dad competed in rodeo, but as a saddle bronc rider. DeNaeyer rode bulls for a while and did some saddle bronc riding, but it was the bareback riding that he took to.

Getting on bulls is “pretty scary,” he said. “At least the bucking horse is trying to get away from me instead of chasing me and trying to kill me when I get off,” like a bull would, he joked.

The Buffalo Bill Rodeo attracts big-name talent, and that can be intimidating for young cowboys like Drueke and DeNaeyer, who are just getting started.

But it can also be incentive, DeNaeyer said. “It’s hard not to ‘fan-girl’ over the cowboys I’ve watched on TV since I was twelve,” he said. “But you have to snap out of it and say, I’m here to beat you now. I’m here to win. You’re not there to get autographs, you’re there to take money.”

This will be the third time for him to compete in North Platte. Two years ago, he won third place. &nbsp;

Over 450 cowboys and cowgirls will compete at this year’s Buffalo Bill Rodeo, in eight events: bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, barrel racing, breakaway roping, and bull riding.

Performances start at 7:30 pm June 18-21. Slack, the extra competition that doesn’t fit into the evening performances, is at 8 am on Jun 18-19.

Tickets range in price from $11-$24 and can be purchased online at NebraskalandDays.com, at the NebraskalandDays office, and at the gate.

The Hot Sheets: June 17, 2025

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (June 16, 2025) — A Wyoming man is facing multiple charges after leading law enforcement on a high-speed pursuit across Lincoln County early Monday morning.

Brandon Isaacson, 44, of Rock Springs, Wyoming, has been charged in Lincoln County Court with operating a motor vehicle to avoid arrest and criminal mischief. Additional charges may be pending.

According to an arrest affidavit, a Lincoln County Sheriff’s deputy clocked Isaacson’s black pickup truck traveling at 101 mph near Highway 30 and West County Road in Sutherland—at one point reaching that speed in a 40 mph zone.

The deputy initiated a traffic stop at Highway 30 and O’Fallon Road, but the vehicle sped away again, reaching speeds over 100 mph before turning onto Front Road.

The pursuit continued east, where Isaacson reportedly passed a semi and hit 80 mph at the Birdwood overpass between Hershey and North Platte. Authorities say he lost control navigating a curve and drove into a ditch between Front Road and Kovanda Road, near Bailey Yard in North Platte.

Isaacson allegedly knocked over a power pole and came to rest in a residential yard. He then fled on foot but was found hiding in tall grass and arrested.

Wyoming Man Arrested After High-Speed Chase, Crash in Lincoln County

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (June 16, 2025) — A North Platte man has been arrested and charged with attempted kidnapping and stalking following a weekend incident involving an 18-year-old woman.

Victor M. Martinez Fonseca, 21, was taken into custody Saturday night and booked into the Lincoln County Jail. He faces felony charges in Lincoln County Court.

According to an arrest affidavit, a North Platte Police investigator was on patrol just after 10:30 p.m. when a female driver flagged him down near Fourth and Walnut Streets. She honked her horn repeatedly and waved frantically to get the officer’s attention, while a 2011 Honda Accord followed closely behind her vehicle.

The investigator stopped the Accord and spoke with a passenger, Christane Gallimore, who claimed they were checking on a woman seen walking barefoot. However, the driver who flagged down the officer told a different story.

She said she had just dropped off her friend, an 18-year-old woman, when Martinez Fonseca exited the Accord and approached them. With one leg still inside the vehicle, he allegedly gestured for the young woman to get into his car and repeatedly ordered her to do so.

The driver said she quickly got her friend back into her own vehicle and took her to the rear entrance of her home. After ensuring her friend was safely inside, she continued driving down the alley—at which point Martinez Fonseca allegedly followed her and even attempted a pit maneuver to force her to stop.

North Platte Man Charged With Attempted Kidnapping After Late-Night Pursuit

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (June 16, 2025) — As the 70th annual Miss Rodeo Nebraska pageant unfolds this week in North Platte, three young women from across the state are competing for the prestigious title ahead of the Buffalo Bill Rodeo's opening night Wednesday.

Contestants Brylee Thompson of Hershey, Jessica Lange of Crofton, and Maycie Johnson of Oakdale are showcasing their horsemanship, public speaking, fashion, and rodeo knowledge as they vie for the honor of becoming Miss Rodeo Nebraska 2026.

The competition began with horsemanship at the Wild West Arena and continued with impromptu interviews, a barbecue meet-and-greet, and formal speeches. Contestants will also be evaluated on their social media engagement, a modern element of the pageant that reflects the evolving role of rodeo queens as public ambassadors.

Thompson, who began competing in pageants at age 10, called it a “privilege” to be in the running for Nebraska’s top rodeo title. “You rarely bring your own horse to a rodeo as Miss Rodeo Nebraska,” she said. “It’s important to be able to ride different horses and navigate each arena confidently.”

Lange, representing northeast Nebraska, emphasized how social media has expanded the reach and impact of the role. “I don’t have a large cheering section here, but through social media, so many people back home can follow the pageant and support me,” she said.

Johnson, the third contestant, is newer to pageantry but comes from a background in barrel racing. “It’s about the bond between you and your horse,” she said. “That trust and communication is everything in barrel racing and something I’m excited to bring to this experience.”

This year’s style show, a fan-favorite event where contestants display Western fashion flair, will take place Tuesday night at Venue 304 in downtown North Platte — a new location for the occasion. Doors open at 6 p.m., followed by a fundraising auction at 6:30 and the show at 7.

The pageant will culminate Wednesday with the coronation of Miss Rodeo Nebraska 2026, just before the start of the Buffalo Bill Rodeo at the Wild West Arena.

The Miss Rodeo Nebraska Pageant Association, founded in 1955, celebrates its 70th anniversary this year. The winner will spend the next year promoting the sport of rodeo and the Western lifestyle, traveling across the country and representing Nebraska on a national stage.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (June 13, 2025) — The Lincoln County Detention Center is temporarily housing 63 immigrants who were transported by federal Immigration Enforcement on Thursday evening, according to a statement from Sheriff Jerome Kramer.

The individuals will remain in custody while undergoing legal proceedings to determine their eligibility for work authorization in the United States.

“I agreed to accept these individuals because we have access to the resources necessary to ensure the process is handled quickly, fairly, and accurately,” Kramer said. “This is about helping people get their status corrected — not punishment.”

Sheriff Kramer said a dedicated team is already in place to support the effort, including interpreters from Hope Esperanza and several legal aid professionals. He noted that the team is being provided at no cost to Lincoln County taxpayers.

“It’s my hope that, where appropriate, we can help detainees complete the process to correct their work status, and reunite them with families or employers,” Kramer said.

He emphasized that none of the immigrants being housed are violent offenders, and that the safety of the community and current inmates at the facility remains secure.

Lincoln County Detention Center Housing 63 Immigrants for Federal Processing

HERSHEY, Neb. (June 13, 2025) — Texas country star Casey Donahew will headline this year’s Hershey Fall Festival concert, capping off a full day of community celebration in downtown Hershey on Saturday, Aug. 23.

The announcement was made Friday morning during an interview on Eagle Media’s Q-Country Classic's 107.3 and Z 93.5 Country between host Derek Beck and Zach Janus, promoter with Flexed Entertainment.

“We’re excited to bring Casey Donahew to Hershey,” Janus said. “He’s been a favorite in Nebraska for more than a decade, and this show is going to be a perfect way to end a day full of festival fun.”

Donahew, a mainstay of the Texas country music scene, has built a loyal following with hits like White Trash Story, Double-Wide Dream, and Let’s Not Say Goodbye Again. He recently released a new album, which fans will hear live under the stars in Hershey for the first time.

“He’s good beer-drinking music,” Janus said. “If you’ve seen him once, you’ll want to see him again—and if you haven’t, this is the time.”

The concert will take place on a stage set up in downtown Hershey, with the village’s signature rail line as a scenic backdrop.

Kicking off the evening will be Nebraska native Drew Phillips, a rising country artist who has opened for Donahew in the past. Phillips, dubbed the “hometown cowboy,” is returning to the Hershey stage following a successful past appearance at the festival.

Festival organizers have shifted the event to late August in recent years to better fit local schedules and family budgets.

“With school back in session and summer winding down, it’s a great excuse to get out and enjoy one last big celebration,” Janus said.

Tickets for the concert are now on sale and can be purchased through Flexed Entertainment and Hershey Fall Festival social media pages. Physical tickets will be available locally through Outhouse Tickets.

Eagle Media also kicked off the celebration with a ticket giveaway Friday morning, inviting listeners to call in for a chance to win a pair of tickets ahead of Father’s Day weekend.

More details about the day’s events at the Hershey Fall Festival will be announced in the coming weeks.

OGALLALA, Neb. (June 12, 2025) — A Nebraska State Trooper narrowly avoided injury early Thursday when a semi struck his patrol vehicle on Interstate 80 in western Nebraska.

The incident happened around 12 a.m. MT in a construction zone between Roscoe and Ogallala, where only one lane of traffic is open in each direction. Troopers had responded to a disabled semi blocking westbound traffic and were directing vehicles through the area.

As traffic was being managed, a westbound semi failed to slow down and collided with the trooper’s parked cruiser before striking the trailer of an oncoming eastbound semi. The trooper was outside of his vehicle at the time and was able to run to safety.

No injuries were reported. The driver of the westbound semi was cited for reckless driving. I-80 was closed for more than an hour following the crash.

The Keith County Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation at the request of the Nebraska State Patrol.

LINCOLN, Neb.&nbsp; — Twelve Nebraska counties have been designated as primary natural disaster areas following prolonged drought conditions, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced in a letter to Gov. Jim Pillen on June 2.

The designation, made by USDA Deputy Under Secretary Brooke Appleton, comes after data from the U.S. Drought Monitor showed that the counties either endured severe drought (D2) for eight or more consecutive weeks or experienced extreme (D3) or exceptional (D4) drought levels during the growing season — thresholds that trigger federal assistance.

The affected counties include Blaine, Brown, Dawson, Deuel, Hooker, Kimball, Lincoln, Logan, McPherson, Platte, Rock and Thomas.

This Secretarial disaster declaration allows farmers and ranchers in both primary and contiguous counties to apply for Farm Service Agency (FSA) emergency loans. These loans are designed to help producers recover from losses by financing the replacement of essential assets such as livestock or equipment, covering operating expenses, or restructuring existing debt.

Eligible producers have eight months from the date of the declaration — until February 2, 2026 — to submit loan applications. Each application is evaluated on its individual merits, including the extent of production losses, available collateral, and the applicant’s ability to repay.

Producers seeking assistance are encouraged to contact their local FSA office for guidance on the application process.

The Hot Sheets: June 12, 2025

(North Platte) Today, Senator Mike Jacobson of North Platte announced his intention to seek re-election to continue serving Legislative District 42. The district comprises Lincoln, Hooker, Thomas, McPherson and Perkins Counties.

"When I ran for legislature over three years ago, I promised to put our district first over politics and get results for my neighbors,” Jacobson said. “Over the last three years my track record has proven that I’ve lived up to that promise—working with my colleagues to find solutions to the most important challenges facing our families, our communities, and our state.”

In the 2025 legislative session Jacobson was instrumental in the passage of legislation that supports funding for rural critical access hospitals such as Great Plains Health. He also led the conversation for property tax relief and sponsored legislation to create greater railroad safety measures in light of 2025 derailments.

“Serving as your senator has been the honor of my life,” Jacobson said. “From North Platte to Mullen and Thedford, I’ve listened to every taxpayer and family and worked hard to be a strong voice that represents the best interests of our district, and not those of special interests. I look forward to continuing what we started in getting results for our district.”

Jacobson serves as the Chair of the Banking, Commerce, and Insurance Committee, as well as on Natural Resources Committee, Committee On Committees, and the Executive Board.
