Friday, March 21, Paws-itive Partners members traveled to receive donations of pet items from 4H Club Thedford Achievers.&nbsp; The club, made up of kindergarten&nbsp;to eighth grade students, had assembled individual baskets for dogs and cats.&nbsp; The baskets were presented to Paws-itive Partners and are to be given to pets going into foster homes.&nbsp;&nbsp;

4H leader, Jacey Anderson, explained, "I wanted to offer a community service project to the kids and do something kind for others.&nbsp; Since I had a connection with Paws-itve&nbsp;Partners and our club has lots of interest in animals, I offered this workshop as a project."&nbsp; Anderson, an avid dog owner, previously fostered a dog for Paws-itive Partners.&nbsp; Eventually, the seriously injured dog recovered from his injuries and was later adopted by Anderson and her husband.&nbsp; "This 4H project was a way for kids to purchase items for dogs and cats faced with an unknown situation.&nbsp; It was great to see the kids' kindness shine through during their planning and shopping for the pets. They are all very compassionate girls and they had so much fun doing this," Anderson said.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Items provided by the 4H members included&nbsp;food bowls, blankets, toys, dog leashes, cat litter and more.&nbsp; Additionally, each girl wrote a personal note to the foster family and dog or cat&nbsp;receiving a basket. One colorful note read, "Dear foster family, I hope you have a good time with your dog.&nbsp; I hope these items help."&nbsp; Another note read, "Puppies and dogs like this one here are special and no two are the same. Like a snowflake.&nbsp; And a human.&nbsp; We remember&nbsp;to treat them as if they are fragile, in which they are."

March 25, 2024 (North Platte, Neb.) - Weather permitting, work will resume on I-80 from reference post 238.27 to reference post 247.88, according to the Nebraska Department of Transporation.

WW Clyde of Englewood, Colorado is the contractor for this project. I-80 between Lexington and Overton will transitioned into two-lane, two-way traffic on the westbound lanes with a single lane in each direction on April 15. Eastbound traffic will utilize a median crossover to access the westbound lanes.

Preparatory work for the traffic switch will include lane closures in both directions beginning April 1, an 11-foot restriction will be in effect and speed limit will be reduced to 65 mph. Traffic phasing is required for the replacement of existing pavement for the eastbound lanes. Two-lane, two-way traffic is anticipated to remain in effect until Sept. 2024.

The purpose of the project is to preserve the transportation asset, improve the reliability of the transportation system and perpetuate the mobility of the traveling public.

Motorists should expect reduced speeds and lane reductions within the work zones and are reminded to drive cautiously through highway construction zone.

Lincoln County - A late March snowstorm was sweeping across the region beginning last night and will continue throughout today. According to the National Weather Service in North Platte, a blizzard warning is in effect until 1:00am Tuesday morning.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Expect high wind gusts and spurts of snow throughout the day and heading into the evening. "We can expect another 1-2 inches of snow possible, and winds will continue to 40-50 mph will continue into the afternoon," said Shawn Jacobs, Meteorologist for the National Weather Service, North Platte office.&nbsp;

Travel has been disrupted by the storm, and the snowstorm is affecting visibility. "Outside the city we are having near zero visibility at times in those open areas so you can expect that going into the afternoon and evening," said Jacobs.&nbsp;

Jacobs says that the impacts from this winter storm should likely be over in the evening as the winds start to calm down and blowing snow reducing visibility will stop. The storm could linger in the North Central part of Nebraska and may exit the region tomorrow morning.&nbsp;

Late yesterday, the Nebraska Department of Transporation announced I-80/HWY 30 would be closed from Ogallala to Lexington. Just before 8:30am on Monday, NDOT closed I-80 westbound from Kearney to Ogallala. Currently, I-80 westbound is closed from Kearney to Ogallala, I-80 eastbound is closed from Ogallala to Lexington and HWY 30 is closed from Ogallala to Lexington.&nbsp;

MARCH 24, 2024 (NORTH PLATTE, NEB.)&nbsp;&nbsp;— The Nebraska Department of Transportation and the Nebraska State Patrol are urging travelers to be prepared for dangerous winter driving conditions expected over the next few days. A winter storm will impact much of the state beginning tonight.

The National Weather Service is projecting several inches of snow across western and central Nebraska, with strong winds and bitterly cold temperatures. A Blizzard Warning has been issued for an area ranging from southwest to northcentral Nebraska, effective from 7:00 p.m. CT today through 1:00 a.m. CT Tuesday.

“This winter storm will create dangerous driving conditions across a large portion of our state,” said Colonel John Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “Our troopers and dispatchers are prepared to help, but before you attempt to travel during this storm, please consider whether travel is absolutely necessary.”

Do not attempt to travel in blizzard conditions. Travel may be difficult to impossible. Should you become stranded, it may be impossible for help to reach you until the blizzard ends.

If travel is necessary, check the Nebraska 511 system for valuable information regarding travel across the state. Motorists can view live cameras to assess conditions, view a map of road conditions throughout the state, check live radar to see the storm’s current location, view the locations of NDOT plows on the road, and access many more features.

“NDOT’s snowplow crews will be out as the conditions allow it but the public are reminded to slow down, wear your seat belt and never pass a plow if you choose to travel,” said NDOT Director Vicki Kramer.&nbsp;

NDOT will treat roads as appropriate, taking into consideration the different variables that could be present in the varying types of precipitation predicted in this storm.

If any motorists become stranded, call the NSP Highway Helpline at *55 or 800-525-5555 to speak directly with an NSP dispatcher who can send help.

NSP and NDOT offer these tips for safe winter travel:

Motorists are reminded to make sure everyone in their vehicle wears a seat belt and children are in a car safety seat. Do not use cruise control in wet or snowy weather and keep a full gas tank.

The Hot Sheets: March 23rd, 2024

Lincoln, NE – March 22, 2024 – One Ford F-150 truck remains in the Nebraska Lottery’s 2023 Truck$ &amp; Buck$ Scratch game. The game has closed, and holders of winning tickets have until September 18, 2024, to claim prizes.

Introduced in May 2023, the 28th edition of the $2 Truck$ &amp; Buck$ Scratch game featured the 2023 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 SuperCrew Flex Fuel truck as its top prize, as well as cash and Ethanol-enriched fuel prizes. The game has sold out and there is no ticket inventory left.

Nebraska Lottery Scratch tickets are valid for 180 days after the game closing date. The 2023 Truck$ &amp; Buck$ Scratch game began the closing process on March 22. Tickets from the game must be redeemed by September 18, 2024.

Players with Truck$ &amp; Buck$ Scratch tickets are encouraged to check them using the Nebraska Lottery mobile app, visiting a lottery retailer, or contacting the Nebraska Lottery at 402-471-6100. If the truck winning ticket expires, then the truck prize will be used in a future Nebraska Lottery promotion.

To date, seven Ford F-150 trucks have been claimed by Nebraska Lottery players in the 2023 Truck$ &amp; Buck$ game. Lucas Swarthout of North Platte claimed the seventh truck on February 12, 2024.

The truck prize is valued at $81,000, which includes $1,160 for costs associated with ownership and state and federal withholding paid by the Nebraska Lottery of $4,050 and $19,400, respectively. The odds of winning the top prize in Truck$ &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 $965 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.

One Truck Remains in 2023 Truck$ & Buck$ Scratch Game

Lincoln, NE&nbsp; – Two big jackpots are up for grabs in the next Mega Millions® and Powerball® drawings. Because of these high jackpots, the Nebraska Lottery reminds customers to set spending and time limits.

A string of drawings without a jackpot winner has grown the estimated Mega Millions jackpot to its highest level since August 2023. There have been 29 consecutive drawings since December 12 without a jackpot winner. This run has grown the estimated jackpot for the Friday, March 22 drawing to $977 million or $461 million with the cash option selected. This is the 6th largest jackpot in Mega Millions history.

Powerball has also seen its jackpot grow over the last few months. There have been 34 drawings since January 3 without a jackpot winner. The estimated jackpot for the Saturday, March 23 drawing is $750 million or $357.3 million with the cash option selected.

The dual jackpot runs have produced some large Nebraska winners.

The largest Mega Millions jackpot on record occurred in August 2023 when one winner in Florida won a $1.602 billion jackpot. The largest Powerball jackpot on record occurred in November 2022 when one winner in California won a $2.040 billion jackpot.

Because of the high jackpots, the Nebraska Lottery encourages customers to play within their means. “It’s important for Nebraska Lottery players to remember that no matter how large the jackpot is, the odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302 million, and the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million,” said Lottery Director Brian Rockey. “Your odds of winning remain the same, regardless of how many tickets are purchased or how many people play.” If you or someone you know has a problem with gambling, free help is available at&nbsp;<a href="http://problemgambling.nebraska.gov/" target="_blank">problemgambling.nebraska.gov</a>.

Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technology students at Mid-Plains Community College have earned TracPipe® certifications following a training session earlier this week.

Doug Passmore, partner at HVAC supply company Mack McClain and Associates, led the discussion in the college’s HVACR department in North Platte on Wednesday.

The training focused on TracPipe® corrugated stainless steel tubing, which is used for natural gas and propane piping. Following demonstrations and hands-on assembly activities, the students took and passed the test for TracPipe® certification.

North Platte, NE March 21,2024 – Lincoln County CASA and Lincoln County Child Abuse Prevention Council are working together to host the Mayoral Proclamation for Child Abuse Prevention Month which is in April. The event will be April 5, 2024, starting at 7 am with the CASA free-will donation breakfast at the Prairie Arts Center in North Platte. At 9 am, Mayor Brandon Kelliher will read the Proclamation to kick off the start of Child Abuse Prevention month. We will also have a silent auction with several items available to bid on. 

The breakfast will include waffles, link sausages, scrambled eggs, fruit cup, coffee, and juice. Child Abuse Prevention may be the primary work of several local organizations, but Nebraska is a mandatory reporting state, so it is the job of every citizen to watch for and report child abuse and neglect. The local prevention council will be promoting education and awareness with Bring Up Nebraska materials. The blue pinwheel campaign is a trademark sign of Child Abuse prevention. 

Everywhere blue pinwheels are placed, prevention is the message. Other activities include Dress Blue Fridays with council members inviting local businesses to dress blue and pose for a picture with council members. 

Child Abuse and neglect is a very real concern for Lincoln County. In 2023, 89 children were referred to CASA as those involved in court cases and needing a child advocate. Many of the children that go into state care are placed outside of Lincoln County because there are not enough foster homes in the area. 

Being taken from their home is a very traumatizing event for many children. They are often placed into surroundings and processes that are very different for them—even if it is a loving environment, it is entirely unfamiliar. 

 Please check the Lincoln County Child Abuse Prevention Council Facebook page and website for more information on activities during April as well as education on the Promotive and Protective Factors that positively impact family stability. 

Proclamation sponsors include Lincoln County CASA, Lincoln County Child Abuse Prevention Council, Sutherland Subway, Gary’s Super Foods, Families First, Hershey State Bank, Premier Rental Purchase, FNBO, Mr. &amp; Mrs. Randy Richards, Merrick’s, and Moxie Salon.

   MPCC Board of Governors meeting wrap up report

The Yonts Water Conference will be held on Wednesday, April 10, at the Panhandle Research, Extension, and Education Center, in Scottsbluff. The morning begins at 8:30 a.m. with registration.

The conference will begin at 9 a.m. with Dr. Xin Qiao, Nebraska Extension water and irrigation management specialist. He will discuss ways to improve irrigation efficiencies and give a research update on new irrigation technologies.

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation personnel will provide an update on the snowpack and expected runoff in the Upper North Platte River Basin. The information is critical for downstream water users planning their estimated irrigation water use and crop planting. Approximately 75 percent of the North Platte River flow comes from this area above Casper, Wyo.

Representatives from HDR Engineering and the Goshen Irrigation District will present an update on the progress of replacing Tunnel No. 1 and Tunnel No. 2, which collapsed and caused a breach of the canal in 2019. Both tunnels are in Wyoming on the main line canal of the Goshen / Gering-Ft. Laramie Irrigation districts. To learn more on the breach and its impact on growers on the system, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://cropwatch.unl.edu/tags/canal-irrigation?page=0%2C2" target="_blank">&nbsp;https://cropwatch.unl.edu/tags/canal-irrigation?page=0%2C2</a>

The morning will wrap up with Don Day of the DayWeather Podcast. He will provide a forecast and weather outlook for the spring/summer of 2024.

The Yonts Water Conference is free, but registration is requested at&nbsp;<a href="https://go.unl.edu/yonts" target="_blank">https://go.unl.edu/yonts</a>&nbsp;by April 5.

The conference is named after C. Dean Yonts, who was the irrigation specialist for many years at the Panhandle Research, Extension, and Education Center.

THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS began 20 years ago with their blazing 2006 single "Face Down" They’ve accomplished a massive amount, from 5x platinum record sales to enormous streaming numbers and a remarkable touring history, but the band’s real success begins and ends with the dedication and passion frontman Ronnie Winter has for his fans.

RANDY HOUSER W/ SPECIAL GUEST SAM BARBER SATURDAY AUGUST 17th, 2024

RANDY HOUSER has racked up over half a dozen hits and 1 billion streams. His How Country Feels album topped the charts with the title track, “Runnin’ Outta Moonlight” and “Goodnight Kiss” and earned critical acclaim for his powerful delivery of the Top 5 smash and nominated CMA Song of the Year, “Like A Cowboy.” Houser has since added a fourth No. 1 with “We Went” from his 2016 album, Fired Up. With multiple sold out shows in 2023, including an at-capacity stop at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, Houser wrapped 12 months of touring with Cody Johnson. Along with a relentless touring schedule, Houser also landed on screen roles in Martin Scorsese’s acclaimed film “Killers of the Flower Moon” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and more, as well as “The Hill” starring Dennis Quaid, that hailed as the number one most streamed Netflix movie in February 2024. <a href="https://www.randyhouser.com/">RandyHouser.com</a>

Sam Wants to deliver songs that people feel in their soul. Above all, he wants to stay true to his faith, the man he truly is, and the type of music he wants to make without boundaries or conforming. Since releasing Drowning in March Sam's social reach has soared past 2 1/2 a million followers and garnered over 4.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
