Lincoln County Most Wanted

Listen to the full interview with Ryan Purdy and Daniel Stinman on our Kubota Podcast Page

North Platte, Neb. - Mid-Plains Community College leaders say student involvement, academic success, and continued investment in campus facilities were among the major themes at this week’s Board of Governors meeting.

President Ryan Purdy began the meeting by recognizing the North Platte Community College Volleyball Team for a standout season. In their first year back in Division I, the Lady Knights not only hit a .500 record but also earned a Region IX Tournament berth and defeated Western Nebraska for the first time in nearly three decades. 

“They were picked to finish toward the bottom of the south,” Purdy said, “but they were actually seeded number three going into the tournament.” He added that the team “won more Division I games than they ever anticipated,” and noted that the players also excel in the classroom.

Student engagement continues to trend upward, driven in part by Trustees Jackson Dellevoet and Vernon Graham, who reported on campus activities ranging from athletics to student events. 

Purdy praised their leadership, saying, “I can't say enough about Vernon and Jackson and that student piece.” He added that both campuses have seen strong turnout at theater performances, music concerts, and family events such as trunk-or-treat and Santa’s Workshop.

Purdy also updated the Board on the recent Nebraska Community College Association meeting, where MPCC honored several recipients. Rascal Martinez received Alumni of the Year, Susie Bolt was named Faculty Member of the Year, and Sean Aiton was recognized as Staff Member of the Year. Purdy said the association’s legislative advocacy is essential, noting that Executive Director Courtney Witzig “really helped us reach out to the legislative representatives around the state.”

Financially, the college continues to operate from a stable position. Purdy said MPCC maintains several months of reserves to cover periods without state aid, explaining, “We have to try to have some money in the bank” because aid is distributed only twice a year. The Board approved more than $2 million in expenses and accepted a clean annual audit. Purdy noted the audit came back with “zero findings,” adding, “A lot of that is kudos to the business office…they have to stay up on reporting regulations.”

Several major upgrades were also approved. A new advanced birthing simulator will replace the decade-old model that has been used for nearly 500 practice deliveries. 

“It’s very real life,” Purdy said of the new system, which allows nursing students to train through high-risk and emergency scenarios.

The Board also approved first-floor renovations in McMillen Hall, which Purdy described as overdue. He said the remodel will improve enrollment services and help with student flow through the building. Additional paving work on North Campus will complete the college’s long-term transition from asphalt to concrete. 

“It's the finalization of getting rid of the asphalt,” Purdy said. “We think it’s cheaper to maintain and more durable.”

A new air-brake simulator will bring the diesel technology and CDL training programs up to current industry standards. Purdy said the purchase replaces equipment that is decades old and will give students realistic diagnostic tools used in agriculture and transportation.

Marketing and Public Relations Director Daniel Stinman outlined several upcoming dates for students. Spring registration is open, and classes begin January 12. The winter session starts December 8, offering short, accelerated courses during the semester break. Nursing program applications remain open until January 15, and MPCC scholarship applications will be accepted through March 1. Stinman also noted that Santa’s Workshop returns December 4 on both the McCook and North Platte campuses, and all MPCC locations will close for Thanksgiving break at 3 p.m. on November 26.

The next MPCC Board of Governors meeting is scheduled for December 17 at 6:30 p.m. on the North Platte North Campus.

North Platte, Neb. - North Platte’s skyline is changing — but local leaders warn that buildings alone won’t fuel the city’s next growth chapter. According to Gary Person of the North Platte Area Development Corporation (NPADC), one of the city’s biggest challenges isn’t construction or capital: it’s getting more people into the workforce.

Right now, NPADC estimates that just 62 percent of the traditional working-age population (ages 16–65) is actively in the labor force, leaving nearly two in five residents unengaged — a statistic that could become a bottleneck as economic activity surges.

“Our workforce participation rate is solid, but it’s not where it needs to be for the scale of growth that’s coming,” Person says. He points to booming sectors — hospitality is expanding rapidly, with about 25 new restaurants over the past three years — and says companies are already feeling the strain.

Beyond low unemployment, Person emphasizes the importance of making work appealing: “We want people to feel self-worth, to feel like they’re contributing — not just a paycheck,” he said. Strategic planning, he notes, isn’t just about building homes and roads — it’s also about training, ensuring competitive wages, and building a welcoming, inclusive community. Childcare is part of that equation, too: without reliable childcare, many potential workers can’t commit.

It’s a balancing act: build enough housing, attract enough business, but also ensure that people can and want to work. For leaders in North Platte, that’s the real test of long-term growth.

🎙️As North Platte Booms, Leaders Push to Bring More People Into the Workforce

Listen to the full interview with Mayor Brandon Kelliher on our Kubota Podcast Page.&nbsp;

North Platte, Neb. – The City Council convened Tuesday evening for its November 18 meeting, tackling a mix of routine items and major agenda points affecting the city’s development and services.&nbsp;

The meeting opened with standard procedures, including the Pledge of Allegiance and invocation. Mayor Brandon Kelliher noted, “We always appreciate those folks that come and do the invocation for us…they do a really nice job for us, so we appreciate that.”

On the consent agenda, the council approved the termination of a real estate option agreement with 308 BMX, Inc., a group that had attempted to create a BMX track in North Platte. 

Kelliher said, “They really did a lot of work and really tried hard to get it going, but they weren’t able to raise enough money. The group may reform in the future and try again at some point.” The city will incorporate a mobile pump track purchased by the group into Curley Park near Madison Middle School, which Kelliher described as “a great feature…with a dedication sign for the folks that helped provide that park.”

The council also approved interlocal advanced life support (ALS) agreements with nearby communities, ensuring coordinated support for emergency services. 

“This is a great service that our local first responders provide," Kelliher explained, "they want to protect people not just in North Platte, but people in the whole area.”

Lease agreements for two cell tower sites were another discussion point. Kelliher noted the evolving nature of cell technology and what the future may look like, saying, “We’ve all really only been carrying around cell phones for about 20 years…so what will it look like 20 years from now?”

Annexation ordinances covering several parcels along East 6th Street and other areas also drew attention. 

Kelliher emphasized the city’s goal of community uniformity: “The main reason that we’re looking at annexing this area…is to have uniformity in our community. It allows us to push the edge of the influence out on the community and help to define what’s allowed in those areas.” 

Concerns about drainage and water tables were discussed, with the city planning to collaborate with Nebraska Park Roads and, potentially, Union Pacific Railroad to address potential issues. The annexations are on their second reading and will return for final consideration at the December 2 meeting.

In a public hearing, the council approved the purchase of property at 2001 East 2nd Street, a fire-damaged and long-vacant home. 

Kelliher explained, “The neighbors had begun to complain because there were things living in houses that shouldn’t be in houses when they get abandoned…she [the owner] was interested in selling, kind of relieved to have it resolved.”

Finally, the council discussed solar power generation. While solar remains popular, Kelliher said, “Connecting it to the city power supply…would increase the average citizen’s bill by about 5–6%. It’s very risky, and we just can’t make the numbers work. Adding that additional cost over the next couple of years isn’t a good move for the citizens of North Platte.” 

He added that the council would reconsider solar in the future if a larger opportunity arose, particularly if it involved significant job creation or economic development.

Kelliher also highlighted the upcoming dedication of the new skate park at Centennial Park on Friday, noting that the council president will stand in for him. “We’ll hopefully have some skaters out there showing us their stuff, and I’m sure they’re going to have a great time,” Kelliher said.

The council’s next meeting is scheduled for December 2, when annexations and other ongoing matters will be discussed.

Whitney Jennings of Seneca, Neb., has been selected as Mid-Plains Community College’s Business Student of the Month for November.

Although she initially planned to attend college out of state, a tour quickly changed her mind.

“I realized how much opportunity was right here at home. The small class sizes, supportive instructors and rodeo program made Mid-Plains the perfect fit for both my academic and rodeo goals,” Jennings said.

Jennings is studying Agri-Business, Entrepreneurship and Leadership and is a member of the MPCC Rodeo Team. She was nominated for the honor by MPCC Business Instructor Jean Condon.

“Whitney shows an amazing commitment to her education, team members and her college experience. Along with her success in the classroom she is hard-working, a great communicator, has a strong work ethic and tremendous leadership skills as she interacts with other students,” said Condon.

Although Jennings is uncertain where her future will take her, she plans to find ways to grow and make a difference in the western industry.

“I was inspired to pursue a business degree because I wanted to understand how to turn my passion for agriculture and horses into a successful career,” Jennings said. “I’ve always known I wanted to own my own business someday, and studying business gives me the tools to manage finances, communicate effectively and make confident decisions.”

Jennings is on track to graduate the spring of 2026.

“I am very thankful for the people and opportunities I’ve had here at MPCC. Between the business program and the rodeo team, I’ve grown both personally and professionally and learned lessons I’ll carry for life,” Jennings said. “I’m proud to represent the college and thankful for the instructors who go out of their way to help students succeed.”

LINCOLN COUNTY — Early Sunday morning, a vehicle accident near the Lake Maloney outlet resulted in a fatality.

At approximately 2:21 a.m. on November 16, Lincoln County Deputies were dispatched to a report of a vehicle on fire along North Lake Road. According to initial reports, it appeared the vehicle had struck a tree and was fully engulfed in flames.

Deputies, along with the North Platte Fire Department, arrived to find the vehicle completely ablaze. After extinguishing the fire, emergency responders discovered the driver, who was the lone occupant, still inside the vehicle.

Preliminary evidence indicates the vehicle was traveling westbound on North Lake Road, approaching the east end of the dam near the Anderson Subdivision, when it left the roadway, struck a tree, and caught fire.

Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office Crash Reconstruction Investigators were on the scene and are conducting a detailed investigation, including the identification of the driver.

The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office extends its condolences to the family of the victim during this difficult time.

Vehicle Fire Near Lake Maloney Claims Life

Listen to the full interview with Lenny Hassel on our Kubota Podcast Page.&nbsp;

North Platte, Neb. - North Platte families, get ready to lace up your sneakers! The North Platte Elks Lodge is hosting its annual Hoop Shoot contest, giving local kids a chance to show off their basketball skills in a fun and friendly competition.

Lenny Hassel of the Elks Lodge shared the details on the upcoming event. The Hoop Shoot is a free throw contest open to students ages 8 to 13, with age determined as of April 1, 2026. Participants will shoot 25 free throws each, and both the winner and runner-up in each division will receive a medal.

The contest will be held Sunday, December 7, at Adams Middle School Gym, 1200 McDonald Rd. Girls will take the court at 1:00 PM, followed by the boys at 2:00 PM. Hassel explained that the event typically lasts about an hour per division but could run slightly longer if more kids show up.

Hassel emphasized the Elks Lodge’s commitment to youth programs, saying the contest is free to ensure all children can participate. 

“We’ve been doing this for over 40 years,” he said. “The Elks Lodge has various youth programs, from scholarships to dictionary distributions for third graders in Lincoln County. We want to get kids involved and active.”

Nationwide, over 2.5 million students participate in Hoop Shoot contests every year. Locally, last year’s event welcomed roughly 30 to 35 children, though Hassel hopes to see even more this year. With multiple baskets set up, organizers are ready to accommodate as many participants as possible.

No pre-registration is required—kids can simply show up and sign in, making it easy for families to join. Every participant will leave with a memorable experience, and winners will receive recognition for their efforts.

The North Platte Elks Lodge Hoop Shoot hopes to keep kids active, having fun, and wants to celebrate community spirit heading into the holiday season.

🎙️North Platte Kids Invited to Free Annual Elks Lodge Hoop Shoot on December 7

North Platte, Neb. - North Platte High School’s Bulldog Production students had a week to remember when alumnus Chris Gorman, now Senior Vice President at Hurrdat Media, returned to campus for workshops, classroom sessions, and hands-on experiences.

Gorman, who grew up in North Platte and graduated from NPHS before earning his degree in Organizational Communication and Marketing from the University of Nebraska at Kearney, spent two full days and an evening sharing his insights and experience with students.

From the moment he walked in, his energy and passion were evident. He worked with the podcasting team, spoke with digital media students about careers in content creation, and even visited the entrepreneurship class to explain how creativity and business intersect. During the last home football game, he joined the live sports production crew, helping students capture and produce content in real time.

“He talked to all those sections about careers and opportunities in digital media,” said Phil Willey, digital media instructor. “And he was really motivational too. He talked about how kids didn't have to be in like a little box… just like finding things that they're interested in,” adding that Gorman shared how his own career path was shaped by following his passions.

Gorman encouraged students to take risks and speak their ideas aloud. “Now is the time to go do the crazy thing or to like say your dream out loud,” he told them. He shared the story of a podcaster at Hurrdat who launched a top-ranked show simply by voicing an idea that seemed impossible. “She has sponsors, she’s on her first year of shows that she’s done, she’s getting recognized like out in the wild,” he said.

The visit offered more than inspiration. Willey highlighted how Gorman’s guidance during the football game production gave students practical skills in capturing and repurposing content. 

“They came back with several social media videos they wouldn’t normally have had,” Willey said. “It was a really cool, hands-on lesson in thinking about content from every angle.”

Willey said students also learned that there isn’t a single path in media. Gorman described his own career as “chaotic… tough… crazy hours,” but ultimately one he “absolutely love[s].” He stressed the importance of curiosity, hard work, and passion — lessons that resonated deeply with the students.

For the students, seeing someone who walked the same halls achieve professional success was both inspiring and tangible. “It’s really cool having somebody of a different level who did something with where they came from and brought it back to the community,” Willey said.

The hands-on, real-life experience didn't end there for NPHS students. They also traveled to Lincoln for a behind-the-scenes look at Husker Vision, the University of Nebraska’s athletic media production operations. There, they toured the facilities, watched how live sports broadcasts are produced, and participated in a high school media day simulation. Willey said the experience was eye-opening. 

“A lot of kids were blown away… a couple of them said that’s where they’re applying for college,” he said. The Lincoln trip offered students a real-world connection to the lessons they were learning from Gorman and a glimpse at professional media production at a high level.

Gorman praised Willey’s dedication and the school’s commitment to students. “I’ve never really, especially like in my adult life post-college, seen a teacher like that connect with students the way he does,” Gorman said. He noted Willey’s energy during a full Friday — from early morning classes to late-night teardown after the football game — and added, “The future is in good hands if we have educators like him.”

The visit was made possible through the NPPS Foundation, which seeks to connect alumni with students. Director Terri Burchell said, “The NPPS Foundation continually looks for ways to engage Bulldog alumni to share their talents with their high school alma mater, North Platte High School.”

Gorman plans to return to North Platte, promising, “I’ll definitely be back to talk to those students.” 

For Bulldog Production students, the week was more than a visit — it was a masterclass in creativity, risk-taking, and professional growth, leaving a lasting impact and a renewed energy for their own projects.

Thanksgiving Week Garbage Service & Transfer Station Hours

North Platte, Neb., – A widespread internet disruption is affecting users around the globe today as Cloudflare, a major internet infrastructure provider, experiences a significant service outage. The incident has temporarily taken down multiple websites and online services, including X, ChatGPT, and hundreds of other platforms that rely on Cloudflare’s network.

The outage began early this morning, around 6:48 a.m. ET, according to reports. Cloudflare confirmed the disruption on its&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/">status page</a>, citing “internal service degradation” and intermittent impacts to some services. Early indications suggest the issue may be partially linked to scheduled maintenance at some data centers.

This is not the first major internet disruption in 2025. A month ago, an AWS (Amazon Web Services) outage caused widespread service interruptions, affecting thousands of websites and cloud-based applications. Additionally, Cloudflare experienced a global outage back in June, which similarly knocked out numerous online platforms and highlighted the risks of centralized internet infrastructure.

Cloudflare provides critical services including content delivery, DNS, and web security, meaning that when its systems falter, the effects ripple across the internet. Users have reported error messages, slow load times, and inaccessible platforms. For newsrooms, businesses, and individuals, the outage underscores how much daily internet activity depends on centralized infrastructure providers.

Affected platforms have acknowledged the issue and are working with Cloudflare to restore normal operations. Some users are experiencing intermittent connectivity even as engineers address the problem.

For those trying to access impacted websites, experts advise waiting for updates from the service providers and monitoring Cloudflare’s&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/">status page</a>&nbsp;for real-time information.

As the situation unfolds, it is a reminder of the hidden systems that keep the internet running—and how vulnerable those systems can be.

North Platte, Neb. - The North Platte City Council will meet Tuesday, November 18, at 5:30 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers. Residents can attend in person or watch live on YouTube at <a href="http://www.northplattene.gov/watch">www.northplattene.gov/watch</a>.

The meeting will cover a range of important topics affecting the community. Council members are expected to consider annexing multiple parcels of land along East 6th Street, review proposals for real estate sales including 2001 East 2nd Street, and discuss the city’s approach to solar power generation.

Routine matters will also be addressed, including approval of meeting minutes, financial reports, and emergency medical service contracts with local and regional providers. The council will review lease agreements and communications site contracts, which are intended to support city services and infrastructure.

A public hearing will be held on the proposed property sale at 2001 East 2nd Street, and while the discussion on solar power will not result in immediate action, it offers a glimpse into the city’s focus on renewable energy options.

Residents wishing to speak during the meeting must identify themselves and address the council through the mayor. The city requests that concerns regarding city employees be addressed privately rather than in the public forum.

Mayor Brandon Kelliher and city officials will also provide updates and informational items to the community during the session.

North Platte, Neb. - The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners will convene Monday, November 17, 2025, at 9 a.m. in the Commissioners Room at the Lincoln County Courthouse, with a livestream available on the county’s YouTube channel.&nbsp;

The board will begin by reviewing minutes from the November 10 meeting before moving into routine business, including claims, treasurer’s receipts, and right-of-way applications submitted by Spectrum/Charter and Dawson Public Power District.&nbsp;

At 9:15 a.m., commissioners will recess and reconvene as the Board of Equalization. During that session, officials will consider minutes from the previous meeting, certificates of correction, and tax list corrections submitted by the County Assessor. The board will also address tax list matters involving property owner Cindy Daves, including corrections for years prior to 2022 and for tax years 2022, 2023, and 2024. After completing equalization business, commissioners will return to their regular agenda.&nbsp;

At 9:30 a.m., the board will take up two subdivision applications. One request comes from Fredrich and Colleen Wahl for Prairie View Estates 2nd Administrative Subdivision on East Blue Stem Lane. The other is an application from Raymond and Darice Sundstrom concerning the Clemmons Subdivision near South Highlands Drive. Both items will be reviewed with potential action to follow.&nbsp;

Following those discussions, commissioners will consider a Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over grant proposal at 9:45 a.m. and then review an agreement with Oak Creek Engineering for fracture-critical bridge inspections scheduled for 2025. A series of interlocal agreements with the City of North Platte will follow, including arrangements for emergency management services, network services, and road maintenance, beginning at 10 a.m. and continuing through 10:30 a.m.&nbsp;

At 10:45 a.m., the board is set to review a resolution outlining rules and regulations governing Lincoln County Board meetings.

The meeting will conclude with updates from elected officials, department heads, and commissioners.
