Ogallala, Ne -&nbsp;The Keith County Area Development and Mid-Plains Community College 2024 EXCEL Tour was a HUGE Success last week! About 75 high school freshman students from Paxton Consolidated Schools, and Ogallala Public Schools had the opportunity to spend their morning touring different professional industries right here in Keith County.

KCAD said in a release, "We are so grateful for this year's participants Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, the Keith County Chamber, Ogallala City Panel, and Sapp Bros. Petroleum."&nbsp; The goal of these EXCEL Tours is to inform local students about the diverse professional career opportunities that already exist right here in their own backyard. "We hope this information encourages students to consider joining the workforce in Keith County after graduation."

When asked about their favorite piece of knowledge gained through EXCEL, one of our students said, "I didn't know that there are really cool things to do in Ogallala, and thanks to EXCEL now I do. Coming to this makes me want to come back to Ogallala."&nbsp;

November 1, 2024 (Lincoln, Neb.)&nbsp;&nbsp;— After several weeks on the road, the Huskers return home to Memorial Stadium tomorrow and the Nebraska State Patrol encourages fans to be focused for an important gameday.

“It will be great to get Husker fans back together in Lincoln on Saturday. Let’s all work together to make gameday safe on the roads and at the stadium,” said Colonel John Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “With a chance for rain during and after the game, fans should be patient on their drive home and be very cautious around pedestrians.”

The Nebraska State Patrol works closely with partner agencies on several aspects of gameday operations. Troopers partner with the Lincoln Police Department, Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office, UNL Police Department, and the Nebraska Department of Transportation to keep fans safe as they travel to and from the game, as well as in and around Memorial Stadium.

NSP also encourages fans to check Nebraska 511 for the latest information on construction zones and any potential detours that may become necessary. Fans can hear traffic reports from Trooper Brett before and after the game on the Huskers Radio Network broadcasts.

On the road:&nbsp;Fans should use routes recommended by the Nebraska Department of Transportation. Fans coming from the east should take I-180 into downtown Lincoln. Fans coming from the west should take Highway 77 to Rosa Parks Ways into downtown Lincoln.

In the stadium:&nbsp;Fans in need of assistance should contact any law enforcement officer or member of event staff. Fans can also text 402-472-0800 to reach stadium dispatch for assistance.

Anyone who observes a reckless driver or anyone in need of non-emergency roadside assistance can call *55 to reach the Nebraska State Patrol Highway Helpline. NSP’s portion of this effort is made possible thanks in part to grant funding from the Nebraska Department of Transportation – Highway Safety Office.

The Hot Sheets: November 1st, 2024

***Interviews with Landon Drews and Industrial Arts Teacher Corey Turner are located at the bottom of the article.

Paxton, Neb. - Earlier in the month, the POST met with Landon Drews, a sophomore at Paxton Schools and a member of the Paxton FFA chapter and his Industrial Arts Teacher Corey Turner to learn about Drews 2024 SAE Project and on Wednesday, Drews, Mr. Turner, Paxton students and supporters of Drews project made the trip to Paxton to watch the harvest of the dryland corn test plot.

The day, which began early Wednesday morning around 9:00am featured elementary school students being bussed over to the test plot to ask Drews questions about his project but also to learn more about different areas of agriculture.

"I'm so glad we got all the kids out here, it's so educational for them and I love having these people out here, I love the community out here and it makes me good and I like showing the community what we were doing at Paxton Schools," said Landon Drews&nbsp;

The middle and high school students came out late Monday morning and were split up in three separate groups to learn about the combine, chat with the seed dealers and learn about the crop and more, and finally also learned about the weigh wagon. The morning session was a good way for students to learn about different areas of agriculture during harvest season but also learn about the product itself from the seed dealers.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"We have a combine, and they (the students) are learning about the combine and how it works.... we got a weigh wagon which they are using for the test plot and every pass they make they will weigh the corn and then they will put it in the semi... the kids are learning about the weigh wagon and the semi..... we got some of our seed dealers inside talking about the corn plant itself, what the corn is used for and the different parts of the plant," said&nbsp;Industrial Arts Teacher Corey Turner.&nbsp;

The plot of land on highway 30 located by the Paxton Schools Bus Barn is owned by the school and farmers used to harvest the land before it was taken over by the school. Drews was approached in his 8th grade year by Mr. Turner about taking over the land and doing a project and since has taken off with it.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"Mr. Turner approached me at the end of my 8th grade year and said would you be interested in this and I really didn't know, I was kind of on the edge about it but than my freshman year I was kind of like let's get this done," said Drews. "My brother and I were sitting in the tractor discing a field around this time of year, and we were talking about how we should do a test plot, and I didn't think we were going to do a test plot originally and after that I got to get this done."&nbsp;

Mr. Turner wanted to pick a student to use the test plot of land and wanted that student to take charge of the project for more than a year.&nbsp;

"I wanted him to be able to see it through his whole high school career .... but he jumped on board first thing his freshman year and he has gone above and beyond for what I was expecting," said Turner.&nbsp;

For Drews project, the community support has been amazing and going around asking folks about wanting to donate or help with his project, folks jumped on board.&nbsp;&nbsp;Six different dealers helped support Drews project and those dealers are Channel, DeKalb, Golden Harvest, Becks, Hoegemeyer, and Pioneer. Hi-Line Coop sprayed the corn, and Harden Agency insured the crop from hail over the summer.&nbsp;

This project will hopefully help Drews earn his state degree and even earn his national degree.&nbsp;

Mid-Plains Community College Ogallala Campus’ Ready-to-Work: Building Construction Homes for Heroes program received a funding boost following a national pitch competition.

MPCC Ogallala Campus Administrator Mary Pierce and MPCC Dean of Outreach Gail Knott recently showcased the program during the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship Innovation in the Heartland Annual Conference held in Bloomington, Minn.

As a result of the program’s innovative approach, MPCC was awarded $20,000 from the Ratcliffe Foundation.

“We’re so grateful for these funds,” Pierce said. “This will allow us to move this program forward.”

Last spring, the MPCC Ogallala campus offered its inaugural Ready-to-Work Building Construction program. The course was designed to equip students with essential construction skills while addressing the critical need for skilled trades workers in western Nebraska. Led by instructor Casey Craig, students built a multi-use structure.

The initial program morphed into Ready-to-Work Building Construction: Homes for Heroes after the structure was purchased by The Connection, Lincoln County’s homeless shelter.

The building will become the laundry facility, anchoring a tiny home veteran community on property owned by The Connection in North Platte. The tiny homes will be built by students in the Ready-to-Work program at Ogallala and purchased by The Connection.

Craig said the building of tiny homes will be a huge benefit to the students and the local workforce.

“Housing is one of our most basic human needs and without it, individuals experience higher rates of chronic physical and mental health conditions, violence and mortality,” said Ashley Lewis, Director of The Connection. “The Connection Homeless Shelter is grateful to partner with Mid-Plains Community College in creating accessible, quality housing for our veterans who are experiencing homelessness through the Ready-to-Work program.”&nbsp;

Students are currently being recruited for the non-credit program, and those who successfully complete it will be awarded a certificate of achievement.

In addition to the Ratcliffe Foundation funds, the college was awarded a one-year subscription to SkillPointe, a technology platform that provides a pathway for in-depth career exploration for students. The Ready-to-Work program also is supported by a Teaching Nebraska Trades grant from Nebraska Investment Finance Authority. Additional funding sources and in-kind donations continue to be sought.

For further information on the program, partnerships and student recruitment, contact Pierce or Knott at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:piercem@mpcc.edu">piercem@mpcc.edu</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="http://knottg@mpcc.edu/">knottg@mpcc.edu</a>.

10/29 North Platte City Council Special Meeting, Tonight's Agenda

October 29, 2024 (North Platte, Neb.)&nbsp;&nbsp;— Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol have arrested three people after locating 38 pounds of suspected methamphetamine during an encounter at a gas station near Hershey.

Saturday at approximately 4:40 p.m., a trooper was getting gas at a truck stop on Interstate 80 at the Hershey interchange when he encountered the occupants of a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Jeep had five occupants, including three adults and two small children. During that contact, the trooper became suspicious of criminal activity.

A search of the vehicle revealed numerous packages of suspected methamphetamine concealed inside a large subwoofer box. The total weight of the methamphetamine was 38 pounds.

The three adults, identified as Andres Florentino-Fortunato, 29, Armando Arroyo, 47, and Daniela Torres-Hernandez, 23, all of Mexico, were all arrested for possession of methamphetamine, possession with intent to deliver a hazardous drug, and intentional child abuse – no injury. All three were lodged in Lincoln County Jail. The two children were placed in protective care.
