North Platte, NE, September 9, 2024&nbsp;– The Canteen District is the proud recipient of a Union Pacific Railroad Community Ties Giving Program grant, which will construct a public art piece to replicate the historic North Platte Canteen story in which to promote, represent, and foster an environment to Downtown North Platte.

“The Canteen District is incredibly grateful to work together with Union Pacific and our community partners to honor the history of the North Platte Canteen. This grant will significantly enhance our ability to contribute a meaningful and lasting artistic landmark to the community,” states Shae Caldwell, Canteen District President.

Union Pacific’s Community Ties Giving Program provides small- and medium-sized grants that align with the railroad’s priority cause areas in safety, workforce development, community vitality and environmental sustainability.

(Audio) 4th Annual International Bazaar set for September 28th in North Platte 

United States Attorney Susan Lehr announced that Brad Jay Leeper, age 47, of North Platte, Nebraska, was sentenced August 29, 2024, in federal court in Lincoln, Nebraska, for distribution of 5 grams or more of actual methamphetamine and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Senior U.S. District Judge Joseph F. Bataillon sentenced Leeper to a total of 84 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Leeper’s release from prison, he will begin a 5-year term of supervised release.

Beginning in 2021, the FBI and CODE Drug Task Force opened an investigation into drug trafficking in the North Platte, Nebraska area. In June of 2022, they were able to conduct a controlled buy, set up over Facebook, involving Leeper. The buy was audio recorded and surveilled by law enforcement. Leeper was present as the passenger in the vehicle involved in the controlled buy, personally handed the meth over, and was recorded advising the total weight as 28.38 grams. Subsequent testing by the state crime lab confirmed the substance was 100% pure meth and weighed 28 grams.

Leeper was federally indicted and on January 23, 2024, law enforcement went to Leeper’s trailer home to serve the arrest warrant. Leeper was taken into custody near the front door and gave officers permission to enter his trailer to ensure no one else was present for officer safety. When officers entered the trailer, they observed, in plain view, a 9mm handgun. When asked, Leeper then consented to a complete search of his trailer which located 53 rounds of ammunition, as well as a loaded syringe with suspected meth/fentanyl, a smoking bong, a mirror with meth residue, baggies with meth residue, and additional unused syringes. &nbsp;At the time of his arrest, Leeper had three prior felony convictions out of Nebraska state courts. He was also on state probation.

This case was investigated by the CODE Task Force which is made up of law enforcement agencies throughout a 22-county area in west-central/southwest Nebraska and includes the North Platte Police Department, Dawson County Sheriff’s Office, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, Red Willow County Sheriff’s Office, Frontier County Sheriff’s Office, Nebraska State Patrol, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)

When asked, Leeper then consented to a complete search of his trailer which located 53 rounds of ammunition, as well as a loaded syringe with suspected meth/fentanyl, a smoking bong, a mirror with meth residue, baggies with meth residue, and additional unused syringes. &nbsp;At the time of his arrest, Leeper had three prior felony convictions out of Nebraska state courts. He was also on state probation.This case was investigated by the CODE Task Force which is made up of law enforcement agencies throughout a 22-county area in west-central/southwest Nebraska and includes the North Platte Police Department, Dawson County Sheriff’s Office, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, Red Willow County Sheriff’s Office, Frontier County Sheriff’s Office, Nebraska State Patrol, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)

(Audio) MPCC: Glen Miller Orchestra, September courses and more!

The Glenn Miller Orchestra will perform Oct. 1 at the McDonald-Belton Theater on the North Platte Community College South Campus, 601 W State Farm Rd.

Beginning at 6:40 p.m., the Jazzy Knights will provide the preshow entertainment with the orchestra taking center stage at 7 p.m.

Tickets are available through the North Platte Business and Community Education office by calling (308) 535-3687. Admission is $35. There is a four-ticket limit per person. Tickets will not be sold at the door.

All are welcome following the performance to a reception in the fireplace area.

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 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.

🎤Forward Ever: Ms. Wheelchair America Tamara Blackwell

Pawsitive Partners Humane Society is launching the second of two Lower Income Love My Cat spay and neuter programs of 2024 - but with&nbsp;a big change.&nbsp; Love My Cat is for lower income cat owners and people helping to spay and neuter stray/unowned cats.&nbsp; 

Love My Cat addresses the cat overpopulation&nbsp;crisis affecting the cats, of course, as well as city resources&nbsp;and non-profit organizations. Paws-itive Partners' goal is to improve lives and save as many animals as possible by reducing their reproduction cycle.

Since 2011, Paws-itive Partners' Lower Income Love My Cat has completed 7,800 cat spays and cat neuters with veterinary clinics in North Platte and Sutherland.&nbsp; "As impressive as that number is," said Jo Mayber, Paws-itive Partners president, "There has been a decrease in people using Love My Cat.&nbsp; With new changes&nbsp;to LMC, we hope to increase numbers again and make it work for more cat owners."

Instead of the usual one-month-long&nbsp;programs, Paws-iive Partners' Lower Income Love My Cat is running from September&nbsp;3 to December 31, 2024.&nbsp; Advantages of the additional time are two-fold.&nbsp; One, this allows veterinary clinics to complete more surgeries without the hectic schedule as in the past and, two the&nbsp;longer time gives cat owners time to save money for the $45 per cat fee.&nbsp; Costs for groceries, clothing, eating out and all, have&nbsp;risen as has pet care.&nbsp;

 If a cat owner cuts back on a few non-essential items briefly they will save the $45 investment in their pet's health in no time.&nbsp;&nbsp;For those without transportation, Paws-itive Partners is offering to take the cat owner and cat to LMC veterinary appointments.&nbsp; For persons willing to trap unowned&nbsp;neighborhood cats, Paws-itive Partners has humane traps to loan.&nbsp; "With our low-cost LMC program and additional options, there shouldn't be any reason why cats are going unaltered," Mayber reminds everyone.

To register for Lower Income&nbsp;Love My Cat go to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="http://www.pawsitivepartnersnp.com/">www.pawsitivepartnersnp.com</a>or call Marcia Eaton at 308-520-1095 or Tami Smith at 308-660-5561.&nbsp; They will collect information and give a Pet ID Number so the cat owner can&nbsp;schedule&nbsp;with&nbsp;a participating veterinary clinic.

Lower Income Love My Cat month is Paws-itive Partners' largest annual expense of $25,000. This four-month-long program is expected to be even higher but with more results.&nbsp; In addition to Love My Cat, Paws-itive Partners spays and neuters&nbsp;dogs and cats year-round.&nbsp; The non-profit organization provides emergency veterinary care for sick and injured animals.&nbsp; Paws-itive Partners relies on fundraising, donations and volunteers to care for animals.&nbsp; &nbsp;

The Hot Sheets: September 6th, 2024

<a>September 5, 2024 (North Platte, NEB.)&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>—&nbsp;&nbsp;Investigators with the Nebraska State Patrol have conducted alcohol compliance checks in Lincoln County.

During the evening hours of Wednesday, September 4, investigators conducted alcohol compliance checks in Lincoln County.

In total, 10 businesses were checked. One of those businesses sold alcohol to a minor for a compliance rate of 90%. The business that failed the compliance check was Avid &amp; Candlewood Suites.

Businesses that sell alcohol to a minor are referred to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission. Clerks who sell alcohol to minors are cited for procuring alcohol for a minor.&nbsp;This project is funded 100% by the Region II Human Services SUPTBG ($427,899.00, 6B08TIO85820-01M002) through SAMHSA, contracted through the NDHHS, Division of Behavioral Health.

Alcohol-serving businesses and employees have access to training resources through the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission.
