North Platte, Ne - Over 300 people came to watch the first Fire On The Prairie at North Platte's Prairie Arts Center. Three bladesmiths came to the PAC to create blades from Belleville, Kansas, Independence, Missouri and Omaha, Nebraska. The competition was loosely based on History Channel's "<a href="https://www.history.com/shows/forged-in-fire?gclid=Cj0KCQjw6oi4BhD1ARIsAL6pox3ofH3L6RKK7WPwkSnBUKhPPjfwMCw3RHCs3RG4eSFm8hwgcEjYAaQaAh6CEALw_wcB&amp;ef_id=Cj0KCQjw6oi4BhD1ARIsAL6pox3ofH3L6RKK7WPwkSnBUKhPPjfwMCw3RHCs3RG4eSFm8hwgcEjYAaQaAh6CEALw_wcB:G:s&amp;s_kwcid=AL!4850!3!553122422367!b!!g!!forged%20in%20fire&amp;cmpid=paidsearch_G_Forged+in+Fire&amp;gad_source=1">Forged In Fire</a>".&nbsp;

The event was judged by past contestants of "Forged In Fire", Peyton Ramm, Chris O'Brien and Garrett Elting. Elting was featured on the show on seasons 6 and 7 and told the POST he got into forging blades when he was in the Marines, he said "I had a friend of mine that got a custom knife sent to him and I thought it was the coolest thing, and I wanted to buy one and they were crazy expensive, so I decided to find out how to make one. I did a bunch of reseach when I got out of the military, I talked to my dad, and he said you wanna start making knives? And I said, let's do it, and we both put $200 together and built a forge."

The competition began around 9:30am Saturday with a crowd watching in bleachers set up in the Prairie Arts Center parking lot. The three competitors starting by cutting off a peice of a large spring off a rock tumbler. The steel on the spring was roughly an inch and a quarter thick and round that they started with, then they had 3 hours to pound the steel flat, utilizing there own fire forges to get the steel hot enough to flatten, and eventually turn into a blade with a handle.&nbsp;

Tyrell Wilson helped the Prairie Arts Center organize the workspaces and brought much of the equipment the competitors used. Wilson brought a power hammer he said was built in 1906 and hadn't ran in 40 years. Little Giant Power Hammers who build the power hammer is still a company in Nebraska City, and Wilson said you can still get parts from them for machines like this. He said he had personally spent over a thousand dollars to get it running and working again. One of the Anvals he brought was built in 1917. Wilson said these are working antiques that are over 100 years old, and his pasion is revitalizing his tools to make them work and be worth something to people.

Once the blades were completed, they were put to the test by a challenge of cutting a hanging rope, chopping on a fence post with barbed wired attatched to it and finally on it's sharpness but slicing through another rope.

At the end of the day, the judges picked Todd Ludacka with Foxhole Forge from Belleville, Kansas as the overall winner. Kevin Neubauer was second and Daniel Yoka was third. The blades were auctioned off at the end of the competition with the winning blade fetching $300 which went back to the Priarie Arts Center.

Executive Director of the PAC, Holly Carlini was happy with the first ever event and is already planning for 2025. In 2023 they did a demonstration of the forging before diving into a competition this year.

The Hot Sheets: October 4th, 2024

Scottsbluff, Neb. — Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol have arrested three people following a pursuit in Cheyenne County.

This morning, at approximately 1:05 a.m., a trooper attempted to initiate a traffic stop on a silver 2007 Buick Lucerne at the intersection of Old Post Road and Silverberg Drive in Sidney, Nebraska. The vehicle fled the scene, and the Trooper initiated a pursuit. The vehicle proceeded eastbound on I-80 reaching speeds of 130 miles per hour.

During the pursuit, the vehicle utilized the median to turn around and eventually exited I-80 into Sidney. Another trooper deployed stop sticks, but the vehicle continued fleeing. A trooper then successfully performed a tactical vehicle intervention to bring the vehicle to a stop in a ditch near the intersection of L17J and Old Post Road.

Troopers smelled smoke and all three occupants of the Buick exited the vehicle and were taken into custody. Shortly after, the vehicle caught fire. During the fire, troopers heard live ammunition popping inside the vehicle. The fire also spread to the field to the east, north of the Walmart area. The Sidney Police Department and Sidney Fire Department responded, and the fire was extinguished.

All occupants were arrested for drug and weapons charges. The driver, John Harmon, 32, of Sterling, Colorado, was arrested for flight to avoid (felony) and possession of a weapon during the commission of a felony. Passenger Kyrie Riggle, 38, of Sterling, Colorado, was arrested for possession of a controlled substance (meth). The second passenger, Dakota Schrecengost, 22, of Sterling, Colorado, was arrested for possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and had a warrant.

“Movie on the Field” Returns for a Night of Community Fun and Entertainment

North Platte, Neb – Great Plains Health has joined the annual&nbsp; "Mammos for the Masses" campaign this October, organized by the Nebraska Cancer&nbsp; Coalition (NC2), as part of a statewide effort to promote regular breast cancer&nbsp; screenings and early detection. This initiative encourages women across Nebraska to&nbsp; prioritize their health by scheduling mammograms and understanding their personal risk&nbsp; factors.&nbsp;

Dr. Todd E. Hlavaty, who has served as Radiation Oncologist for the Callahan Cancer&nbsp; Center for the last 28 years and serves on the board of directors for the Nebraska&nbsp; Cancer Coalition, emphasized the importance of this initiative:&nbsp;

"Great Plains Health is proud to join the #MammosForTheMasses campaign," Hlavaty&nbsp; said. "Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers affecting women, and&nbsp; early detection is crucial. I cannot stress enough how vital it is for women to schedule&nbsp;&nbsp;

regular mammograms and discuss their personal risk factors with their healthcare&nbsp; providers. These screenings can detect cancer at earlier, more treatable stages and&nbsp; ultimately save lives. Don't postpone this important conversation with your doctor. Your&nbsp; health is too important to wait."&nbsp;

Breast cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer among women in the&nbsp; U.S. and is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Nebraska. Regular&nbsp; mammograms are proven to reduce breast cancer mortality by nearly 40%, making&nbsp; early detection a critical factor in improving outcomes. While breast cancer is most often&nbsp; found in women aged 55 and older, it's recommended that women start screenings as&nbsp; early as age 40.&nbsp;

Several factors contribute to an increased risk of breast cancer, such as family history,&nbsp; genetic mutations like BRCA1 and BRCA2, dense breast tissue, early onset of&nbsp;

menstruation, and late menopause. Women who have received radiation therapy before&nbsp; the age of 30 are also at a higher risk. For women aged 40 to 74, screenings every two&nbsp; years are strongly recommended to ensure early detection and improve outcomes.&nbsp;

"Regular mammograms and awareness of personal risk factors are essential in the fight&nbsp; against breast cancer," said NC2 executive director, Laura Schabloske. "Women are&nbsp; encouraged to consult with their healthcare providers to determine the appropriate age&nbsp; to begin screenings and how frequently to continue them."&nbsp;

As a reminder, Great Plains Health offers an ongoing Breast Cancer Support Group.&nbsp; The group meets every third Thursday of the month from 6 to 7 p.m. in Conference&nbsp; Room A at 601 W. Leota Street, North Platte. This group is open to any women&nbsp; diagnosed with breast cancer seeking encouragement and support. No registration is&nbsp; required. For more information, call 308.568.7544.&nbsp;

To schedule a mammogram or for more information, contact your physician today.&nbsp;

Great Plains Health is a nonprofit, fully accredited, 116-bed acute-care regional medical&nbsp; center in North Platte, Nebraska. With nearly 100 physicians representing over 30&nbsp; medical specialties, the hospital offers advanced healthcare services, including heart&nbsp; and vascular, cancer, and neurosurgery care. Great Plains Health's mission is to inspire&nbsp; health and healing by putting patients first - always.&nbsp;

The Hot Sheets: October 2nd, 2024

<a href="https://nebraskaexaminer.com/briefs/ne-education-officials-weigh-in-on-school-districts-use-of-nutrition-fund-for-gym-scoreboards/">Nebraska Examiner</a>

LINCOLN — Two big digital scoreboards that a Nebraska school district purchased with funds from a student nutrition fund and installed in a school gym were not an appropriate spend, a Nebraska Department of Education spokesman said Monday.

Nebraska State Auditor Mike Foley last week issued a scathing letter to the Chase County public school district in southwest Nebraska, calling out its use of about $125,000 from a nonprofit school food account for the pair of “massive video scoreboards.”

The school district, in response, said that it was confident that it “appropriately and transparently” bought the video display boards after consulting with the Nebraska Department of Education.

A law firm representing the district told Foley’s audit team in a letter that while the boards are used for sports, they also display nutritional information. The firm said the district has a longstanding practice in which students line up on the walking track of the gym, where the boards communicate nutrition information to students on their way to the cafeteria.

The law firm added, however, that the district was ready to take corrective action if directed to do so by either the State Department of Education or the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Monday, spokesman David Jespersen, in response to a query by the Nebraska Examiner, said the State Department of Education will require the Chase County school district to provide quotes on three display monitors and notify the department of its choice. The department must approve.&nbsp;

“And the school nutrition program fund will be paid back less the approved amount based on the cost of the approved menu display,” Jespersen said in a statement.

“The original expense does not meet funding requirements for approval,” he said.
