North Platte, Neb. – Great Plains Health has once again been honored with&nbsp; the American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines®-Stroke Gold Plus Quality&nbsp; Achievement Award. This prestigious recognition demonstrates Great Plains Health's&nbsp; continued commitment to delivering advanced stroke care to patients, following the latest&nbsp; research-based treatment guidelines.&nbsp;

Stroke ranks as the fifth leading cause of death and a major contributor to disability in the&nbsp; United States. It occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, either by a clot blocking a&nbsp; blood vessel or by a vessel rupturing. This interruption of blood and oxygen supply to a part of&nbsp; the brain results in the death of brain cells. Swift identification and treatment of stroke are&nbsp; crucial for enhancing survival rates, reducing long-term impairments, and speeding up&nbsp; recovery processes.&nbsp;

The Get With The Guidelines program harnesses the expertise of the American Heart&nbsp; Association and American Stroke Association to support hospitals across the nation. This&nbsp; initiative ensures that patient care aligns with the most current, evidence-based guidelines.&nbsp; Specifically, the Get With The Guidelines - Stroke program is designed to enhance in-hospital&nbsp; stroke care by promoting adherence to these guidelines. By doing so, it aims to minimize the&nbsp; long-term effects of stroke and potentially prevent fatalities.&nbsp;

Ivan Mitchell, Great Plains Health chief executive officer, stated, "At Great Plains Health, we&nbsp; are dedicated to improving patient care. This award reflects our team's tireless efforts to&nbsp; provide high-quality, evidence-based care to our community, ensuring that more people in&nbsp; Greater Nebraska can lead longer, healthier lives."&nbsp;

“We are incredibly pleased to recognize Great Plains Health for its commitment to caring for&nbsp; patients with stroke,” said Steven Messe, M.D., volunteer chairperson of the American Heart&nbsp; Association Stroke System of Care Advisory Group and professor of neurology and director of&nbsp; fellowships of neurology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“Participation in Get With The Guidelines is associated with improved patient outcomes, fewer&nbsp; readmissions and lower mortality rates – a win for health care systems, families and&nbsp; communities.”

Update: July 12 - Z 93.5 Country &amp; Flatrock 100.7 continue to be "Off The Air" on your radio due to a June Thunderstorm that damaged the radio tower south of Paxton, Nebraska. Crews identified the damaged parts, removed them, and the radio station is waiting for those parts and pieces to be manufactured, and shipped to meet the specific requirements of the radio tower. Eagle Communications management still expects the stations to be back up in July, although a specific date can't be locked in at this time. Listeners to these two radio stations can still listen online at <a href="https://z935country.com/">www.z935country.com</a> and <a href="https://flatrock1007.com/">www.flatrock1007.com</a> while we are off the radio dial.&nbsp;

(posted in June) Paxton, Ne - May and June thunderstorms were frequent and devestating to many in western Nebraska, Eagle Communications in North Platte and Ogallala weren't immune to storm damage.&nbsp; In the overnight hours of Thursday, June 13 as strong storms moved across the area,&nbsp; the radio tower that is home to Z 93.5 Country (KZTL-FM), Flatrock 100.7 (KRNP-FM) and KOGA-FM 99.7 is believed to have been struck by lightning causing the stations to go off the air. Eagle management was able to turn Flatrock 100.7 back on early Friday morning after that storm passed, but ultimately both KRNP and KZTL were unable to stay "on the air".&nbsp;

A tower crew from South Dakota was able to make it to the tower site, south of Paxton, Nebraska on Sunday, June 23 and began it's inspection of the tower. They would find holes in the hard transmission line about 97 feet up the tower along with burn scars in multiple spots up the tower, eventually finding a large elbow piece of the transmission line cracked with evidence of moisture in the line in addition to the electrical burns on the transmission line.&nbsp;

"Both Z 93.5 Country (KZTL-FM) and Flatrock 100.7 (KRNP-FM) are currently off the air while repairs are being made, we hope to have replacement transmission line, and all the parts and pieces that will be required to get us back on the air in place early in July" according to Eagle Communications' Nebraska Operations Manager Derek Beck.&nbsp;

Beck went on to say "we're still broadcasting, and you're still able to hear the local shows you enjoy on our stations, at <a href="https://z935country.com/">www.Z935country.com</a> ,&nbsp; <a href="https://flatrock1007.com/">Flatrock1007.com</a> or of course on our news and information websites at <a href="https://sandhillspost.com/">www.sandhillspost.com</a>&nbsp;&amp; <a href="https://northplattepost.com/">www.NorthPlattePost.com</a>.&nbsp;Everything is business as usual otherwise, we're just only available online while we make repairs for these stations".&nbsp;

The tower that was damaged by the storms is owned by Vertical Bridge,&nbsp; the largest private owner and operator of communications infrastructure in the U.S., with more than 500,000 sites nationwide. The tower is leased by Eagle Communications.

Eagle reached out to iHeart Media (KOGA-FM) in Ogallala by email for comment about the transmission line outage that also affected 99.7's main feed line but did not receive a reply as of the posting of this story.&nbsp;

West Central Research, Extension and Education Center

NORTH PLATTE, NEB.–– When visiting North Platte, the Golden Spike Tower or the Buffalo Bill State Historic Park might be at the top of the list. Yet, for some North Platte natives like Jennifer Robinson, Tree Lane Road might be the only destination in mind.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Many of Robinson’s fondest memories growing up are tied to Tree Lane Road: Cross country practice. Traveling to church. And capturing key moments with pictures. After finding her love&nbsp; for Tree Lane Road at an early age, Robinson is now giving back with the donation of a tree.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“Tree Lane Road is a beautiful place, and it has brought me a lot of joy,” Robinson said.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Now residing in Atlanta, Georgia, as a yoga instructor and studio manager, Robinson takes every&nbsp; opportunity to visit Tree Lane Road when she returns home.&nbsp;&nbsp;

With every visit, Robinson noticed the condition of the hackberry trees that were established in&nbsp; the early 1920s after the West Central Research, Extension and Education Center (WCREEC)&nbsp; opened in 1904. Robinson regularly received updates from family on the state of the trees and&nbsp; any weather events that may have impacted them.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The timing of Robinson’s donation coincidently comes after a recent storm damaged many trees at the research center and by Tree Lane Road. Due to the storm, six trees along Tree Lane Road were cut down for safety reasons while others were trimmed.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“The donation was timely because we had space for about five new trees to go in and were able&nbsp; to balance out the loss and damage of the road” facilities manager, Bob Skates said.&nbsp;

No matter how many cities or countries Robinson has lived in, she has considered North Platte to be home. When asked by her partner, Jaye Budd, what she wanted for Christmas, she knew that&nbsp; she wanted to help Tree Lane Road, a key part of what makes North Platte home for her.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“Someone did something for you before you were alive that makes your life easier today, or adds&nbsp; beauty to the way you live,” Robinson said. "It is not a large amount of money to buy a tree, to&nbsp; do something, to give beauty to someone in the future. That is just a way to pay it forward.”&nbsp;

Robinson’s ties to Tree Lane Road are a clear example of how the University of Nebraska– Lincoln creates opportunities for communities to connect, whether that be through local&nbsp; programs, Nebraska Extension, or a place that brings community members together.&nbsp;&nbsp;

When thinking of the direct impact Tree Lane Road has had on the community of North Platte,&nbsp; Robinson sees it as a place to experience nature, connect with others, and capture memories.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Robinson hopes that others who have been touched by or enjoyed Tree Lane Road will follow in&nbsp; her footsteps and choose to donate a tree themselves.&nbsp;

“Someone planted those trees and did something for a future generation,” she said. “It is&nbsp; connecting to the past, to the present and by planting and adding more trees to keep it alive, we are connecting to future generations."&nbsp;

VALENTINE, Nebraska&nbsp;– The Middle Niobrara Natural Resources District (NRD) recently conducted a thorough assessment of stream restoration projects within the Long Pine Creek Watershed (LPCW) following significant rainfall. Between June 17-21, 2024, Brown County landowners reported 9-11 inches of rain in the area. The restoration projects demonstrated remarkable resilience, exhibiting only minor erosion along the streambanks.

“Due to the diligent planning involved, we are elated to see that the conservation work has stood up to such significant rainfall,” said Middle Niobrara NRD General Manager Mike Murphy. “These efforts not only protect our natural resources but also enhance the quality of life for the residents and landowners within the Long Pine Creek Watershed.”

These stream restoration initiatives are a collaborative effort involving local landowners, the Nebraska Environmental Trust, the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy, USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Ainsworth Irrigation District, the Brown County Commissioners, the Natural Resources Commission, and the Middle Niobrara NRD. The projects were identified and implemented as part of the Middle Niobrara NRD’s Water Quality Management Plan, with the initial phase focusing on developing the plan and identifying priority areas within the LPCW.

Between 2020 and 2023, three key stream restoration projects were executed to address critical issues such as water quality, fish and wildlife habitat preservation, stream instability, headcuts, scouring, erosion, excess sedimentation, and streambank degradation. These efforts aim to improve water conditions, addressing the LPCW’s status on the 303(d) impaired waters list. LPCW stream restoration work included bank stabilization, riprap, and re-seeding or vegetative covering to reduce erosion.

The outcomes of these projects are significant. They protect and enhance habitats across 36 miles of stream, improve water quality over an additional 27 miles of streams, and safeguard over 6,800 acres of land. These initiatives directly benefit more than 210 individual landowners and provide indirect benefits to more than 2,900 residents within the Long Pine Creek Watershed.

The stream restoration projects were funded with $1,746,530 from the Nebraska Environmental Trust, $1,907,000 in federal funding, and supplemented by $652,819.71 in local match contributions.

The Hot Sheets: July 11th, 2024

It's the time of year where corn is starting to grow and driving out on rural roads may impact your vision when coming up to intersections. When approaching an intersection, double check both ways before entering the intersection. 

Drivers may have the right of way at a controlled intersection, it's best to slow down or come to a complete stop to double check both ways before continuing through. The Nebraska Department of Transportation states the maximum speed limit on a gravel road is 50 mph.&nbsp;

In 2022, Nebraska Game and Parks confirmed the presence of a hybrid variety of the invasive aquatic plant Eurasian watermilfoil in Iron Horse Park Lake at North Platte. This aquatic plant grows dense mats and can overtake a waterbody quickly.

Game and Parks staff plan to use an aquatic herbicide called ProcellaCOR, which is a reduced risk herbicide, to treat the hybrid Eurasian watermilfoil. ProcellaCOR has no restrictions for water recreation, fishing, or fish consumption. Staff plan to treat the western half of the lake on July 11 and the eastern half on July 25, weather permitting.

“While Zebra mussels often are the species most folks think about, invasive aquatic weeds can also have a large impact on our Nebraska waters,” said Kristopher Stahr, Game and Parks’ aquatic invasive species program manager. “This treatment is a good reminder to always Clean, Drain, and Dry your watercraft to prevent anything from moving from one waterbody to another.”
