At its meeting Tuesday, the North Platte City Council advanced the effort to remodel the Recreation Center and Cody Pool by choosing an architect to lead the project.

Omaha-based RDG Planning &amp; Design was chosen to lead the remodeling and expansion projects.

"RDG brings a wealth of expertise to the project, boasting 30 years of experience in the planning and design of sports and recreational facilities across the region, including facilities in Kearney and Omaha&lt;' the city said in a release Wednesday. "RDG recognizes the integral part that local architects and contractors&nbsp;play, and&nbsp;has assembled a project team with numerous North Platte businesses and connections."

“As the city reviewed the outstanding candidates that proposed to undertake this project, we were committed to making a decision that focused on three criteria,” said Mayor Brandon Kelliher. “First, we wanted to make the wisest use of funds. Next, we wanted to work with a firm who is a leader in sports and recreational facilities. Lastly, we wanted to ensure that our outstanding local businesses were utilized during the design and construction process. RDG has demonstrated that their vision and priorities for the execution of this project align with these criteria.”&nbsp;

RDG is partnering with local architects and contractors on the project team. North Platte Architects, Steele’s Roofing &amp; Construction, T.C. Engineering Inc., and Wayne&nbsp;Dowhower Construction Inc., are all on the project team, in addition to:

• Sampson Construction for cost estimating<br>• Engineering Technologies Inc. for mechanical and electrical engineering<br>• Performance Engineering for structural engineering<br>•Aquatic Design Consultants Inc. for swimming pool consulting

Two of ETI’s engineers assigned to the project are North Platte natives.&nbsp;

The design process will continue through early 2024, with anticipated construction set to begin early in the second quarter of 2024.&nbsp;

The process of accepting bids for the project began in January of 2023, after North Platte voters approved a temporary half-cent sales tax increase in November of 2022. The additional sales tax will go into effect this&nbsp;spring and will help raise $52.5 million to make improvements at the Recreation Center and Cody Pool, as well as relocate the Skate Park.&nbsp;

🎙️ North Platte Post Outdoor Report with Julie Geiser (March 2, 2023)

<b>By DEREK BECK</b><br><i>North Platte Post</i>

NORTH PLATTE — Wallace seventh grader Cauy Robinson wants to take over his family ranch someday. He’s off to a good start when it comes to understanding the beef industry. 

Robinson and the 4-H Livestock Judging team he competed for from Scottsbluff county placed second over the weekend at the Kearney Classic. Robinson has also been involved with the Chase County 4-H team in the past, whose team placed 1st at the Kearney Classic over the weekend. Cauy explained how most livestock judging competitions go “almost every contest we go to there's 12 classes with four calves or goats or sheep or hogs in it and you pretty much place it how you like them and then they'll (judges)&nbsp;be questions that you have to answer after the contest . They'll sit you down and they'll ask questions to everybody in the group and then&nbsp;mark your card 1&nbsp;through 4 or you'll have to give a set of reasons to them (judges) of why you placed them that way.”&nbsp;

Robinson was in the Eagle studio’s in North Platte to talk about 4-H Livestock Judging, but what we noticed immediately was Cauy’s passion for not only the livestock judging competition but his eagerness to learn, and also speak up about what he loves about it. 

He was in studio with Caitlyn Jacobson who is the Extension Educator for 4-H in Lincoln, Logan and McPherson counties. Jacobson was also impressed as Robinson spoke. “in 4H, we talk about learn by doing, and this is a great example of a hands on learning experience.” she went on to say “when they (4H’ers) go into a show ring they have a good idea of what kind of animal they have, and how to make improvements. That’s part of the learning aspect&nbsp;of the project. You learn what makes a good steer, what makes a good pig, so when you talk to a judge you can tell him hey yeah you know what;&nbsp;this is what's good about my animal and even in the showmanship you can kind of articulate some of those good qualities about your animal. It’s just a all around good hands-on learning experience and you get to learn, you get to meet a lot of different people along the way."&nbsp;

Robinson agreed, “my family shows cattle, we’re at the barn every day, all year round working them and getting them ready. And livestock judging is also a yearly deal, there’s contests in the summer, and winter.” He went on to say that he thinks judging and showing livestock go hand in hand. “not only do you learn how to talk your calf into the judge if they (judge) have questions, but you learn personally how you like to see cattle, or sheep or goats. You don’t wanna look at cattle from just here, you want to step back and get a good view, which helped me win showman ship at the state fair last year.”&nbsp;

To hear the entire conversation with this 13-year-old from Wallace, Click Play. Thank me later!&nbsp;

🎙 Roads, public transit highlight Tuesday North Platte council meeting

<b>By SCOTT CARLSON<br></b><i>North Platte Post</i>

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — Rex Hanson of the North 40 Chophouse in North Platte was on Good Morning North Platte this morning to talk about the restaurant's support of the&nbsp;new Student Success and Activity Center at the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture in Curtis.

With a donation to the project, patrons can receive gift cards to the North 40 Chophouse. A donations of $500 will receive a $50 gift card, and donations of $1,000 will receive a $200 gift card.

The Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture is a small campus with big impact on Nebraska agriculture and the veterinary profession. NCTA is hoping to double the college’s impact for students and the state’s workforce by growing their student enrollment. 

Key to this recruitment plan is the continued beautification and modernization of the campus.

 The Barn will be renovated into the Student Success and Activity Center to provide students a union atmosphere to gather, technology-enabled study rooms, a tutoring center, and an updated kitchen and dining hall that will also serve as a large multipurpose room for hosting events. 

The Student Success and Activity Center will be a central hub on campus and necessary for building community and making memories.

You can hear Hanson's full conversation with Scotty C. below.

Buffalo Bill Farm & Ranch Show | Interviews

North Platte, Ne - From his earliest memories of growning up on a Lincoln County dairy farm, Tyrell Rousey always knew he wanted to be a cattleman. Rousey was heavily involved in livestock judging in college, and after graduating he began internships for local cattlemen, eventually working for&nbsp; Berger’s Herdmasters between North Platte &amp; Stapleton as manager of the program after college. After being with Berger’s Herdmasters program for 15 years, the opportunity to lease the Berger cowherd and ranch was presented and has since transitioned to Rousey SimAngus, LLC.

The Rousey's have tried not to reinvent the wheel, but instead to evolve their heard over the years, according to Tyrell "you know whenever there's a changing of the guard you know there's always a few things that that change for sure but you know we haven't made any any drastic changes. I guess you know the saying goes if ain't broke don't fix it. You know we've got a diverse set of customers and you know.... when talking to them they've been very pleased with what we've provided to them over the years ,but there's some technology and everything evolves. We've moved forward, we've started doing some genomic testing, I guess that that's one step we've made."

Tyrell Rousey sat down with Eagle's Derek Beck recently to discuss SimAngus, and what excites the Rousey's about the future of their heard. Enjoy their conversation below, sponsored by North Platte Kubota. The <a href="https://www.rouseysimangus.com/rouseysimangus-bull-sale/">Rousey SimAngus Bull</a> sale is Saturday, February 11th at 1pm CST at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds in North Platte.

 🎧 Nebraska Cattlemen Report - Meet new President Steve Hanson

NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-A battle against cancer has nameless impacts on the patient and their family. From treatments to travel, cancer is an expensive battle to fight.

Deb Foote of North Platte has just begun her battle against Leukemia and a group of friends and family are organizing a benefit to help offset some of the expenses incurred by Deb and her husband Jeff, a Lieutenant with the North Platte Police Department.

On Jan. 29, a taco bar, bake sale, and silent auction will be held at the North Platte Moose Lodge, 1315 E. 4th St., with the proceeds going to Deb and Jeff. The Army of Angels hosts the bake sale and silent auction.

"When we first learned about it at the police department, Jeff and Deb were in Omaha and it sounded like they were going to be there for about five weeks at the time so we knew we needed to get something figured out quickly," said Investigator Lisa Citta with the North Platte Police Department.

Citta said the Army of Angels quickly volunteered to help with the benefit by organizing a bake sale and silent auction. The Army of Angels is a non-profit started by some local women who had a friend with cancer and continued to assist families battling the disease.

"The support from the community never ceases to amaze me," said Citta. "We have people calling the Department and reaching out to us on Facebook, it's just been amazing the amount of support this community continues to give to anyone impacted by something, which is really awesome."

The benefit will be a free-will donation, with all proceeds going to the Foote family.

Listen to Investigator Citta and Bobbie from the Army of Angels on Good Morning North Platte (FM 98.1).

NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-Catholic Schools Week, Jan. 29-Feb. 4, is an opportunity for North Platte residents to show their support of the North Platte Catholic Schools.

"Without the community support, so many of our schools would not be successful," said Gwen Covey with North Platte Catholic Schools.

While the students and staff will be celebrating all week long, there are several events that the public is invited to attend.

"Our Opening Ceremony will be on Monday, and that's at 9:45," said Covey. "The Mayor will come and he does a proclamation and our superintendent will speak."

The morning will also include something new and unique.

"We are going to have a glow-in-the-dark Rosary, and it's an all-school Rosary, so I think that is going to be really special," said Covey.&nbsp;

On Tuesday, Bishop Joseph G. Hanefeldt will deliver Mass in the McGahan Activity Center at McDaid Elementary, the public is invited to attend, and Grandparents will be able to visit classrooms afterward.

"We're just doing a little special thank you for our grandparents," said Covey.

Wednesday evening will be an open enrollment meeting for parents of pre- K-12 students interested in enrolling their students at McDaid or St. Pats.

Also, the Annual Irish Fest Event will be held on Feb. 26. The fundraiser is an important part of the overall operations at the schools.

"It's really how our school system survives," said Wendy Dodson, Executive Director of the Catholic Schools Endowment. "We're a non-public school, so we don't receive any state or federal funding."

Dodson said a third of their budget comes from fundraisers.

"Our two parishes in town, St. Pats and Holy Spirit, they support us financially, our school families pay tuition, then the other third of that comes from fundraising efforts."

Irish Fest has been a staple of the community since 1975 when longtime Catholic Schools Administrator Bill McGahan started it.

"It was born out of necessity at that time," said Dodson. "They were looking for one more fundraiser, one more way to bring a revenue stream to the school, and it's been a tradition over the years."

Dodson said the event would feature good family fun, with a homemade meal, games, fun jumpz, a bake sale, a raffle, and a silent auction.

For more information, follow the North Platte Catholic Schools on Facebook.

Listen to Covey and Dodson on Good Morning North Platte (FM 98.1).

🎧 North Platte Catholic Schools prepare to celebrate Catholic Schools Week, Irish Fest

NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-As the remnants of the record-breaking snowfall blanket the city, crews from the City of North Platte continue to dig out.

North Platte Mayor Brandon Kelliher is proud of the city employees who pitched in to plow, scoop and blow snow.

"We really appreciate all their dedication, they've been going almost 24/7 since early Wednesday morning, and they're going to continue that through the weekend to try to get the snow removed out of Downtown and some of the business areas," said Mayor Kelliher.

With 13.9 inches of snow, crews must get more creative to keep the city moving.

"When there's this much snow this quickly, you can't just shove it somewhere, you have to actually pick it up with machines and haul it," said Mayor Kelliher.

As usual, the areas around schools and the Emergency Snow Routes were the priority.

"The crews will get to what they can in the neighborhoods over the next several days, but realistically by the time we get some of the snow hauled away from the business districts and the main thoroughfares, it's going to be a little bit," said Mayor Kelliher.

About three years ago, the Emergency Snow Routes in the city were remapped by now-City Manager Layne Groseth.

"Layne and his crew redid where the Snow Routes are in the city," said Kelliher. "They plotted them specifically on major thoroughfares, but there's a few that you would consider not major thoroughfares that are on the Snow Route."

The main goal is access to emergency care.

"They did it that way so that no matter where you live in North Platte, you're no more than three blocks from a Snow Route," said Kelliher. "The theory being that it may not be easy to get out of your driveway or on the street, but you only have to go about three blocks and you can get where you need to go."

Kelliher said this ensures emergency personnel can continue providing services to residents.

"There are 251 miles of streets in North Platte, so it's kind of like a trip to Grand Island and back," said Mayor Kelliher. "In order to scoop all of those, it just takes time, and if we wanted to try to get rid of the snow in a day or two off all those streets, we would need to roughly quadruple our staff as well as the pieces of equipment that we have."

Mayor Kelliher said about 30 city employees are involved with snow removal. He said crews are roughly divided in half so they can run constantly. Mayor Kelliher said employees from all city departments have pitched in to help.

Mayor Kelliher said one of the things residents can do to help is to refrain from blowing or piling their snow in the streets, which causes more problems for drivers and city crews.

"Sometimes you can't avoid it, but if you can avoid it, please blow it up on your lawn, that's just that much less you have to water your lawn this Spring," said Mayor Kelliher.

Mayor Kelliher said the most important thing residents can do is be patient as the city works to get things cleared up.

Mayor Kelliher also joined Scotty on Good Morning North Platte to discuss snow removal and recap Tuesday's City Council meeting, which includes receiving a $1,000,000 grant to assist with the housing issue in the city. You can listen to that below.
