Perkin's County Public Transit to have limited service September 14th

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Union Pacific's new CEO, who came into the job last month with a reputation for cost-cutting, says he won't shy away from that but no one should expect the kind of sweeping changes he made when he first oversaw the railroad's operations a few years ago.

<a href="https://apnews.com/article/union-pacific-railroad-ceo-jim-vena-06b2fbdf515e7f5aa8d82c0b2cafbc88">Jim Vena</a>&nbsp;told investors Tuesday in some of his first public comments since he became CEO Aug. 14 that he's focused on improving&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/railroad-safety-derailments-tank-car-ohio-minnesota-c60f33b64e9c7dc05768a78ae20f3ce5">safety</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/business-omaha-7824a3d4042a757755ea76f55e51f641">service</a>&nbsp;at the railroad. While he's willing to invest in that, mostly he wants to make sure Union Pacific's day-to-day operations are steadily improving.

“When you’re operating the railroad, you don’t make one big mistake normally and you cause yourself to impact the system and you slow down and then you can’t provide the service,” Vena said. “What happens is you make a lot of small mistakes, and if you make small mistakes, they come back all of a sudden and add up and you wake up one day and you go, Wow! So that’s what I want to make sure that we’re on top of.”

Initially, that means Vena is looking closely over the shoulder of Union Pacific's chief operating officer, the job that Vena previously held at the railroad in 2019 and 2020. He's also working to speed up decision making at the railroad to help make Union Pacific more responsive to customers. Vena was&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/union-pacific-railroad-earnings-ceo-jim-vena-6e9cefb37dacede8874dac62061e9850">hired</a>&nbsp;after a hedge fund that was disappointed in the results under previous CEO Lance Fritz put&nbsp;<a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60ad6c502b44e43fe7a303b9/t/63fbc01f43115a3c065fa353/1677443103154/Soroban+-+Letter+to+Union+Pacific%27s+Board+of+Directors.pdf">pressure</a>&nbsp;on UP.

Vena said he's not changing from the lean operating principles he honed during four decades at Canadian National railroad, so more cuts are likely coming. But he said they won't be as drastic as in his first tenure because Union Pacific already made most of the big moves when it first adopted the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/business-aab7d3084a8d17d8d721d2cb750be323">“precision scheduled railroading”</a>&nbsp;model and slashed thousands of jobs and shut down a number of railyards across its 23-state network in the West.

Going forward, Union Pacific will also be focused on attracting new business and boosting rates to cover higher costs like the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/biden-strikes-a83dffef79d38e36dc25588b19bf54b4">raises</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/railroad-paid-sick-time-negotiations-norfolk-southern-70327831f881dcf86a43e05d22a5bdd5">sick leave</a>&nbsp;the railroad agreed to give workers over the past year to address some of their&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/business-economy-strikes-congress-d2ae4d3aecb27f176418518d977e69e1">quality-of-life concerns</a>. Both those things will also help the bottom line.

“I promise you this: we’re going to be the best,” Vena said. “We’re going to have the best margins. We’re going to have the best service, and we’re going to have the best safety record. And if we do that, customers will want to come with us.”

But the current weak consumer demand amid the uncertain economy and inflation has translated into a 3% drop in volume so far in the third quarter, even though most industrial shipments have remained steady. That will put pressure on Union Pacific’s profits.

Vena's comments about continuing to improve safety will likely be welcomed by the head of the Federal Railroad Administration who took the railroad to task&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/union-pacific-railroad-safety-fra-defects-a3727942095fc3bd585b42d60c45fa6e">in a letter</a>&nbsp;last week detailing an alarming number of defects found by inspectors this summer on freight cars and locomotives in use at Union Pacific's largest railyard.

After Vena spoke with FRA Administrator Amit Bose on the phone Monday, he wrote a letter stressing Union Pacific's commitment to addressing the concerns and making any needed changes or repairs.

September is National Preparedness Month, and Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department (SWNPHD) would like to remind everyone that this time of year it is important to review our emergency supplies and preparedness plans. It is also important to not neglect the preparedness skills that may be lifesaving in an emergency. One skill that we tend to overlook until a disaster strikes is using a communication plan.

Your family may not be together if a disaster occurs. Communication plans allow everyone to stay in touch by listing when communication needs to happen and how information will be shared. In today’s world of smart phones, many people do not memorize or remember critical contact information that they may need, especially when a disaster strikes.

Following are some key questions to explore while constructing your communication plan.

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How will you receive emergency notifications?

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Do you have a dedicated phone charger to grab and take with you if you need to evacuate?

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Do you have key information for family members written down, including phone numbers, social media names, email addresses, etc.

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Do you have emergency contact information for family members?

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Do you have your medical providers’ contact information written down?

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How will you let family members know you are safe?

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How often do your family members expect you to check in with them?

Once you have your communication plan constructed, it is important to practice your plan to ensure phone numbers are correct and everyone understands the plan. Share your family’s emergency plan with your extended family to make sure they can know you are safe as well.

National Preparedness Month

LINCOLN, NEB.–&nbsp;The Nebraska Farm Bureau Foundation awarded 24 teachers with funds in support of agricultural education and FFA programs in Nebraska.

“The Dr. Allen G. and Kay L. Blezek Teacher Retention Award is an investment in the future of Nebraska agriculture,” said Megahn Schafer, executive director of the Nebraska Farm Bureau Foundation. “We are very proud to support these teachers as they get established in their classrooms and communities. The return on investment is clear as the number of schools that offer agricultural education and FFA grows, and alumni go on to contribute to Nebraska’s number one industry.”

Recipients are all agricultural&nbsp;education teachers in their first through fifth year of teaching. Teachers are eligible for increasing awards over time. As the teachers’ impact grows in the classroom, in their FFA chapters, and in their communities each year, the Nebraska Farm Bureau Foundation aims to recognize and support their efforts. &nbsp;A longtime program of the Nebraska Farm Bureau Foundation, the award was renamed in recognition of an estate gift from Dr. Allen Blezek. Dr. Blezek was an agricultural education teacher, the first director of the Nebraska LEAD program, and a founding member of the Nebraska Farm Bureau Foundation board of directors.

The 24 recipients of the scholarships are Paige Aylward, Hershey Public Schools; Kaydie Brandl, Lakeview Community Schools; Danie Brandl, Elm Creek Public Schools; Rylee Dexter, Chamber Public Schools; Amanda Hafer, Lutheran High Northeast; Hunter Hill, Franklin Public Schools; Toriann Holly, Fairbury Jr./Sr. High; Miranda Hornug, Exeter-Milligan Public Schools; Carrie Johns, Gering High School; Allison Johnson, Falls City High School; Alex Meyer, St. Edward Public Schools; Hallett Moomey, Schuyler Community School; Katie Nolles, Stuart Public Schools; Tanner Nun, Diller-Odell Public Schools; Jocelyn Pohl, Alliance High School; Emily Santero, Morrill High School; Alex Stocker, Central City High School; Caleb tenBensel, Broken Bow Public Schools; Maggie Vyhnalek, Bruning-Davenport Schools; Brooke Wehrbein, Auburn High School; Emily Whipple, Ainsworth Community Schools, Kealey Widdowson, Gibbon High School; Cara Wolverton-Holtorf, Wilber-Clatonia; and Payden Woodruff, Palmer Public Schools.

The Hot Sheets: September 13th, 2023

Omaha, NE&nbsp;–&nbsp;Today,&nbsp;the U.S. Small Business Administration&nbsp;announced that, Firespring,&nbsp;has been named an SBA Legacy Business. Firespring&nbsp;is one of 68&nbsp;Legacy Businesses that got their start with help from the SBA and that are being recognized nationwide as part of the agency's 70th anniversary celebrations&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sba.gov/article/2023/09/05/small-business-administration-recognizes-legacy-businesses-during-sbas-70th-anniversary-celebration" target="_blank">Small Business Administration Recognizes Legacy Businesses during SBA’s 70th Anniversary Celebration | U.S. Small Business Administration</a>.

Today’s announcement follows SBA Administrator Guzman’s visit to the New York Stock Exchange&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nyse.com/bell" target="_blank">The Bell | NYSE</a>, where she rang the closing bell to mark the SBA’s milestone anniversary and celebrate Legacy Businesses that have grown from small startups into some of the most recognizable brands in the United States with the support of the SBA.

NEBRASKA Winner:&nbsp;Jay Wilkinson, Founder and CEO, Firespring, Lincoln

Over the past 30 years, Firespring, has utilized SBA funding for startup costs utilizing a SBA 7a loan, a SBA 504 loan for expansion to a new location, the Payroll Projection Program to keep employees working through the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as a COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) while continuing to weather uncertain times to once again thrive and be resilient now and for generations to come.

Tim Mittan, District Director, Nebraska SBA, states, “Firespring opened their doors as a printshop, and soon evolved into a company that built websites for other printing companies, small businesses, and nonprofits. Over the years, they have emerged as one of the largest marketing communications firms in the Midwest. Because of their commitment to communities, their team members log volunteer hours, serving local organizations, and made a substantial financial impact in local communities. Firespring used SBA services early on in their growth and have continued to reach out through the years.&nbsp; It is a pleasure to honor Jay Wilkinson and Firespring for all they do in Nebraska.”

The SBA’s Legacy Businesses recognize&nbsp;past or current small businesses that benefitted from SBA resources in their early stages.&nbsp;For 70 years, America’s entrepreneurs have relied on SBA support to help start and grow their small businesses. Today, the SBA is&nbsp;building upon its success, particularly with the historic progress made under the Biden-Harris Administration.&nbsp;The federal agency has provided billions of dollars in support to small businesses and has helped millions of small business owners build meaningful lifelong connections and help power their local economies.&nbsp;Now, amid soaring consumer confidence, historic low unemployment, and falling inflation, applications to start new businesses continue to boom under the Biden-Harris Administration. Since the start of 2021, more than 12.2 million people have applied to start a small business – including Firespring in Nebraska.

Jay Wilkinson, Founder and CEO, Firespring states, “On behalf of the employee-owners at Firespring, we are deeply honored to be a recipient of the prestigious SBA Legacy Business recognition. This recognition not only highlights our journey and growth as a company but also underscores the vital role that the U.S. Small Business Administration plays in nurturing and supporting the entrepreneurial spirit that drives our economy. We are proud to be one of the 68 Legacy Businesses that got their start with help from the SBA. As we celebrate the agency's 70th anniversary, we are reminded of the countless stories of success and resilience that have emerged from the small business landscape. Firespring's journey aligns with these narratives of growth, and we are excited to continue our mission of making a positive impact and empowering our local economy.

Omaha, NE&nbsp;–&nbsp;Today,&nbsp;the U.S. Small Business Administration&nbsp;announced that, Firespring,&nbsp;has been named an SBA Legacy Business. Firespring&nbsp;is one of 68&nbsp;Legacy Businesses that got their start with help from the SBA and that are being recognized nationwide as part of the agency's 70th anniversary celebrations&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sba.gov/article/2023/09/05/small-business-administration-recognizes-legacy-businesses-during-sbas-70th-anniversary-celebration" target="_blank">Small Business Administration Recognizes Legacy Businesses during SBA’s 70th Anniversary Celebration | U.S. Small Business Administration</a>.Today’s announcement follows SBA Administrator Guzman’s visit to the New York Stock Exchange&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nyse.com/bell" target="_blank">The Bell | NYSE</a>, where she rang the closing bell to mark the SBA’s milestone anniversary and celebrate Legacy Businesses that have grown from small startups into some of the most recognizable brands in the United States with the support of the SBA.NEBRASKA Winner:&nbsp;Jay Wilkinson, Founder and CEO, Firespring, LincolnOver the past 30 years, Firespring, has utilized SBA funding for startup costs utilizing a SBA 7a loan, a SBA 504 loan for expansion to a new location, the Payroll Projection Program to keep employees working through the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as a COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) while continuing to weather uncertain times to once again thrive and be resilient now and for generations to come.Tim Mittan, District Director, Nebraska SBA, states, “Firespring opened their doors as a printshop, and soon evolved into a company that built websites for other printing companies, small businesses, and nonprofits. Over the years, they have emerged as one of the largest marketing communications firms in the Midwest. Because of their commitment to communities, their team members log volunteer hours, serving local organizations, and made a substantial financial impact in local communities. Firespring used SBA services early on in their growth and have continued to reach out through the years.&nbsp; It is a pleasure to honor Jay Wilkinson and Firespring for all they do in Nebraska.”The SBA’s Legacy Businesses recognize&nbsp;past or current small businesses that benefitted from SBA resources in their early stages.&nbsp;For 70 years, America’s entrepreneurs have relied on SBA support to help start and grow their small businesses. Today, the SBA is&nbsp;building upon its success, particularly with the historic progress made under the Biden-Harris Administration.&nbsp;The federal agency has provided billions of dollars in support to small businesses and has helped millions of small business owners build meaningful lifelong connections and help power their local economies.&nbsp;Now, amid soaring consumer confidence, historic low unemployment, and falling inflation, applications to start new businesses continue to boom under the Biden-Harris Administration. Since the start of 2021, more than 12.2 million people have applied to start a small business – including Firespring in Nebraska.Jay Wilkinson, Founder and CEO, Firespring states, “On behalf of the employee-owners at Firespring, we are deeply honored to be a recipient of the prestigious SBA Legacy Business recognition. This recognition not only highlights our journey and growth as a company but also underscores the vital role that the U.S. Small Business Administration plays in nurturing and supporting the entrepreneurial spirit that drives our economy. We are proud to be one of the 68 Legacy Businesses that got their start with help from the SBA. As we celebrate the agency's 70th anniversary, we are reminded of the countless stories of success and resilience that have emerged from the small business landscape. Firespring's journey aligns with these narratives of growth, and we are excited to continue our mission of making a positive impact and empowering our local economy. This nomination fuels our passion to drive innovation, serve our community, and inspire future entrepreneurs. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the SBA and everyone who has been a part of our journey so far.

(Audio) 4-H Dogs Skillathon - Conversation with Caitlyn Jacobson and Ezri Bay

Professional barrel racer and motivational speaker Amberley Snyder will speak in Ogallala and North Platte in October.

Snyder is the subject of the Netflix movie, “Walk. Ride. Rodeo,” released in 2019. The biopic focuses on her journey leading up to and following a vehicle accident that left her paralyzed from the waist down.

The Mid-Plains Community College Student Life Department is organizing her visit to local communities.

The first presentation will be at 10 a.m. Oct. 23 at Ogallala High School, followed by a meet-and-greet with Snyder.

She will then speak at 1 p.m. Oct. 24 in the McDonald-Belton Theater on the North Platte Community College South Campus, 601 W. State Farm Rd, in North Platte. There is no meet-and-greet with the North Platte presentation.

Snyder fell in love with horses early in life and was barrel racing by the age of 7. She subsequently competed in junior and high school rodeos, winning multiple titles and awards.

Snyder qualified for the National High School Finals Rodeo in pole bending in 2009, her senior year of high school, and won the National Little Britches Rodeo Association All-Around Cowgirl World Championship.

She was on top of the world at that point but came crashing down in January of 2010. Snyder was on her way to the Denver Stock Show and Rodeo, driving through Sinclair, Wyo., when she looked down at her map and crossed the centerline.

Snyder attempted to get back into her lane but overcorrected and rolled her truck. She was ejected and slammed into a fence post, breaking her back.

She underwent five hours of emergency surgery and was told by her doctor that she would never regain use of or feeling in her legs.

Four months later, she was back on her horse. Eighteen months after her accident, Snyder returned to competing in rodeo.

In 2015, she was voted the fan exemption contestant at the world’s richest one day rodeo, RFD-TV’s The American. Snyder competed with the best in the industry and was just 0.6 seconds short of the winning time. She received a standing ovation from over 40,000 fans in the AT&amp;T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

When “Walk. Ride. Rodeo.” came along, Snyder served as co-producer and her own stunt double. She also co-wrote the song, “Ride,” for the soundtrack and published a book by the same name, “Walk Ride Rodeo: A Story About Amberley Snyder.”

Today, Snyder continues to barrel race as part of the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association. She qualified for the Wilderness Circuit Finals in 2021 and 2022.

Snyder also travels the country sharing her story of triumph over tragedy and has become one of the most sought-after social influencers and motivational speakers in western sports.

Snyder’s presentations in Ogallala and North Platte are open to the public. Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis in both locations.

Tickets are required and nonrefundable. They must be purchased in advance as they will not be available at the events. Tickets are $10 each with the exception of those for MPCC students and employees who will be admitted free. FFA and other school organizations will also be admitted free with pre-registration.

Tickets are available by calling the MPCC Business and Community Education department at (308) 535-3678 and asking for Jeff Smeltzer or Mandy Brandes.
