&nbsp;(NORTH PLATTE, NEB.)&nbsp;&nbsp;— Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol arrested five people following a pursuit with a stolen vehicle Tuesday in Keith County.

At approximately 12:10 p.m. MT, a trooper observed a westbound Nissan Versa speeding on Interstate 80. The trooper also received information that the vehicle had been reported stolen in Iowa. The vehicle exited I-80 at the Paxton interchange and the trooper attempted a traffic stop. The driver exited the vehicle and appeared to be complying with the trooper, until one of the passengers exited the vehicle and entered the driver’s seat. The original driver then entered a passenger seat and the vehicle fled. The trooper initiated a pursuit.

The vehicle fled westbound on I-80. Additional units were able to successfully deploy stop sticks to bring the vehicle to a stop near mile marker 140, just west of Paxton. All five subjects inside the vehicle were then taken into custody without further incident.

The original driver, an 18-year-old male, was arrested for obstructing a peace officer and no operator’s license. The second driver, Yovani Alfonso Rivas, 32, was arrested for willful reckless driving, flight to avoid arrest, and no operator’s license. The three other subjects were identified as Carlos Alberto, 26, Jordan Medina, 26, and an 18-year-old male. All five occupants are from Venezuela. All five were arrested for possession of stolen property $5,000+ and lodged in Keith County Jail.

The Keith County Sheriff’s Office assisted in this incident.

NORTH PLATTE - The Trevin Jeffs and Travis Roberts Benefit will be taking place this Saturday from 12pm - 2pm at Budke Powersports in North Platte.

Jeffs and Roberts were both injured in a motorcycle accident on Oct. 8th. Both riders sustained broken bones and other injuries.

The 17th annual Nebraska Kids Fitness and Nutrition Day (NKFND) was held in McCook on Wednesday, October 11th at the McCook Community College Peter and Dolores Graff Event Center with around 250 fourth grade students. The event was also hosted at Perkins County Schools in Grant on September 20th with approximately 160 fourth grade students attending the Mountain Time Zone event. Students came from across the nine counties in Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department (SWNPHD) to participate in this fitness and nutrition event.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"The kids love this event, and it is a great learning experience for the students. Volunteers teach them about fitness and nutrition and have a lot of fun while working with the students," says Sarah Minnick, NKFND Coordinator at SWNPHD.&nbsp;&nbsp;

NKFND was developed and funded in part by the Nebraska Beef Council and the University of Nebraska at Kearney. SWNPHD, McCook Public Schools and Perkins County Schools co-chair the event with the partnership and support of McCook Community College, McCook Lettering, and the Nebraska Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.&nbsp;&nbsp;

This one-day event includes six nutrition stations and fifteen fitness stations. Nutrition stations include information about how to read food labels, portion sizes, and how to build good eating habits. Fitness stations show the students how to practice balance and dexterity, coordination, and the benefits of exercise for heart health and chronic disease prevention.

Elementary schools participating at the McCook event included: Arapahoe, Cambridge, Hayes Center, Hitchcock, Maywood, McCook Central Elementary, St. Patrick, Medicine Valley, Southern Valley, and Southwest. The event in Grant hosted elementary schools from Chase County, Dundy County-Stratton, Perkins County, Paxton, Prairie View, Wauneta/Palisade and Perkins County Christian School.

“The Kids Fitness and Nutrition Day would not be possible without the sponsors and the volunteers,” states Minnick. Over 50 volunteers were teaching and assisting at the fitness and nutrition stations at both events. “Our thanks go to both the volunteers and sponsors for helping give these students a boost toward a healthier future.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

Post News Director Canon Rath chatted with Mid-Plains United Way Executive Director Haven Smith and Anegla Hipp, the Mentoring Coordinator at Community Connections. Smith recaps the FNBO Chili Cook-Off and gives us a more in-depth looking into Mid-Plains United Way. Hipp talks about the mentoring program at the Community Connections&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE - The Mid-Plains United Way kicked off their 2023-2024 campaign with the 28th Annual FNBO Chili Cook-Off. For this year's event, over 240 people attended and almost $4,000 was raised. The event this year raised $500 more than last year.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Mid-Plains United Way supports 11 non-profits and serves in a 16-county region. "The non-profits provide services and programs that improve education and health and finical stability for people in need," said Mid-Plains United Way Executive Director Haven Smith.&nbsp;

One of these organizations that is supported by the Mid-Plains United Way is Community Connections of Lincoln County. Community Connections is a non-profit that matches youths with mentors. Many of the youths will be matched up with mentors that have very similar skill sets.&nbsp;

Teammates is another program that matches youth with mentors. However, Community Connections has a slightly different approach than Teammates. "Well just that, you know (Teammates) school based, there meeting at the school at a set time each week. There are kids who need maybe some mentoring outside of the school," said Mentoring Coordinator Angela Hipp. "We think the relationship can really flourish when they are able to go do that."&nbsp;

The Hot Sheets: October 16th, 2023

Post News Director Canon Rath chatted with Wendy Dodson about the upcoming 21st Annual G.R.E.E.N Event taking place on Saturday, October 21st.

NORTH PLATTE – The 21st annual G.R.E.E.N. fundraising event for the North Platte Catholic Schools is planned for Saturday, October 21st at St. Patrick High School. Generating Resources for Educational Excellence Now is the largest single event of the year for the North Platte Catholic Schools Endowment Trust, which works year-round to generate around $600,000 for McDaid and St. Patrick’s schools.&nbsp; 

Endowment Director Wendy Dodson says that this year’s event will feature all of the things that supporters have loved about G.R.E.E.N. over the years… A delicious meal, an online silent auction, Heads or Tails game, Lucky Lotto drawing, live auction, and Spirit Wagon raffle. Plus, guests may also try their hand at the Wall of Wine and the Wall of Whiskey and enjoy some fun entertainment with the Polka Police.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dodson says that since the G.R.E.E.N. event began in 2003, it has generated over $2.1 million dollars in&nbsp; support of the North Platte Catholic Schools. These funds have been used to establish a teacher&nbsp; retirement fund, support general operations of McDaid and St. Patrick’s, fund school improvement&nbsp; projects and technology, and to provide tuition assistance for families.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Tickets to G.R.E.E.N. are $75 per person, which includes drinks, dinner &amp; entertainment. Call or visit the Endowment office to register: 308-534-5939, 601 S. Tabor Ave. on the NP Catholic Schools campus. You may also purchase tickets and register online at: https://onecau.se/green. Or, text “green” to 243725.&nbsp; You do not have to be present to win the Lucky Lotto or Spirit Wagon drawings. You may register to bid on auction items and participate online, even if you are unable to attend the event in person. The&nbsp; G.R.E.E.N. Silent Auction will open for bidding at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 19th.&nbsp;

***Interview will air on Good Morning North Platte FM98.1 &amp; AM 1410 on 10/16/23.
