The 2024 Nebraska Broadcasters Association Convention proved to be a rewarding one for Eagle radio stations in Alliance, Chadron and North Platte.  During the event's Pinnacle Awards banquet, three awards were received by Eagle employees.

Double Q Country Sports Director and "voice of the CSC Eagles" Dave Collins received the Gold Award in the "Best Sports Play-By-Play" category.&nbsp; Collins, who has won several NBA awards for his sports broadcasting efforts, travels with Chadron State Eagle teams throughout the year to bring games to radio listeners all over Nebraska.&nbsp; Collins met his wife Shaunda in Chadron where she is a Full Professor in the Communications Department at CSC. They enjoy spending time with their infant son Braylon, traveling all over the country, running half-marathon races and attending games together in new stadiums.

Also receiving a gold award Wednesday night (his 10th NBA award overall) was Eagle Radio Alliance/Chadron Director Of Creative Services Jason Wentworth.&nbsp; "Wenty " took home the Gold for "Best Promotional Announcement."&nbsp; Joining Wentworth in the production of the winning "Jingle Cash promo" was Kalin Krohe; the two have been creative partners for years.&nbsp; "Kalin brings his sense of humor, vocal variety and improvisational skill to all of our commercial projects.&nbsp; I couldn't do it without him!"&nbsp; Wentworth, who has been at KCOW for 26 years, celebrates 2024 as the 25th anniversary of his KCOW morning show.

Last, but not least, North Platte Marketing Consultant Carla Beck received a Bronze award in the highly competitive "Best Commercial" category.&nbsp; Her commercial for Axes and Aces was titled "The Big Game."

It should be noted that unlike some state broadcasting associations, where awards are split up among "small market", "medium market" and "large market" stations--assuring a greater likelihood of an entry winning--the Nebraska Broadcasters Association votes for all entries equally.&nbsp; This means the three winning entries above managed to defeat some of the largest, most powerful radio stations in Omaha, Lincoln, and other large city stations.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Lincoln, NE - Marilyn Miller of&nbsp;Ansley&nbsp;is the fifth winner of a 2024 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 SuperCrew truck in the 29th edition of the Nebraska Lottery’s $2 Truck$ &amp; Buck$ Scratch game.

Miller purchased her winning Truck$ &amp; Buck$ ticket at Casey’s #2068 at 609 Plum Creek Parkway in Lexington. She was presented with her new truck at Casey's on Thursday, August 8 by Nebraska Lottery officials.

Miller said she and her husband Duane were heading home from an auction in Grand Island and decided to stop in Lexington for some supper. They decided to make a quick trip to Casey’s to fill up their vehicle and she popped inside to cash in a few winning Scratch tickets.

“I won $20,” she said. “And so I took that $20 and spent $10 of it on five Truck$ &amp; Buck$ tickets.”

One of those tickets ended up winning her the pickup. She called the Nebraska Lottery the next day and her truck was delivered to her in Lexington about a week later.

“I’m still speechless, I guess,” she said. “It’s just neat that I won.”

“That’s not even a once in a lifetime deal,” Duane added. “It’s probably once in ten lifetimes.”

The 29th edition of the Nebraska Lottery’s popular $2 Truck$ &amp; Buck$ Scratch game features the 2024 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 SuperCrew truck as its top prize. Players have the opportunity to win one of eight Ford F-150 trucks as well as thousands of cash prizes. The truck prize is valued at $81,500, which includes $976 for costs associated with ownership and state and federal withholding paid by the Nebraska Lottery of $4,075 and $19,560, respectively. The odds of winning the top prize in Truck$ &amp; Buck$ are 1 in 336,000, while the overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.69.

The mission of the Nebraska Lottery is to generate proceeds for good causes while providing quality entertainment options to Nebraskans. Over $991 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.

Lincoln County - Law enforcement responds to three vehicle accident near Hershey Thursday morning.&nbsp;

According to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office (LCSO), around 7:30am, deputies and EMS were dispatched to MM 165 on Highway 30 which is near Hershey. Reports came in that three vehicles were involved in a accident and injuries had occurred.&nbsp;&nbsp;

As law enforcement arrived on scene, Hershey EMS were removing the driver from a Ford pickup truck. The truck sustained heavy front-end damage, and the driver was trapped inside the truck according to officials.&nbsp;

&nbsp;Investigation shows that 23-year-old Hailey Falkena of North Platte was traveling westbound in her 2007 Trailblazer when she noticed a vehicle quickly approaching her from behind. Falkena was concerned the vehicle was going to hit her but the passing vehicle, a 2002 Jeep Liberty pulled out to pass her.&nbsp;&nbsp;

According to the press release from the LCSO, an eastbound 1993 Ford pickup truck being driven by 58-year-old Daniel Richardson of Sutherland was hit nearly head on. The Jeep skid into a ditch and rolled onto its top.

Officials say the Jeep was being driven by a 14-year-old with a school permit who was heading to band practice. The two vehicles that were involved in the collision veered into the path of Falkena's vehicle, causing damage to the front of the vehicle.&nbsp;

&nbsp; Falkena did not have any serious injuries from the incident. Richardson possibly had a broken leg and possibly a broken hip along with facial injuries. LCSO says the 14-year-old sustained a fractured neck from the accident. Highway 30 had to be closed for both eastbound and westbound traffic for an hour.&nbsp;

(Audio) North Platte City Council Meeting, August 6th recap

August 7, 2024 (Lexington, Neb.) – Richard’s Electric of North Platte has been awarded a $2.3 million bid for the&nbsp;<a href="https://dawsonpower.com/2024/07/dawson-ppd-plans-substation-work/" target="_blank">upgrade of two rural Dawson Public Power District substations</a>. The award was approved at Dawson PPD’s regular board meeting on August 5, 2024. Cross Canyon Engineering designed the substations. The sealed bid process is required for projects exceeding $750,000, as outlined in the recently passed LB 969.

Once the 2024 irrigation season is complete, work will begin at Sub 26, located southwest of Gothenburg, and Sub 35, located northeast of Gothenburg. Construction is expected to start on October 1 and be complete by May 2, 2025.

The Sub 26 update will convert it from 34,500 volts to 69,000 volts. The change will increase the capacity, with up to three times more power on the existing lines between area substations. This improves efficiency and decreases operational costs. The rebuild will also modernize the design and provide options for future substation automation.

An increase in irrigation load has made upgrades at Sub 35 necessary. Over the last four years, there has been an almost 70% increase in power required at that substation. This is equivalent to adding 34, 100-horsepower irrigation wells. The loads have come from conversions to electric irrigation equipment upgrades and the re-activation of previously unused services.

Other items of discussion at the meeting include:
