NORTH PLATTE – A new school bus rolled onto the campus of the North Platte Catholic Schools, thanks&nbsp; to the generosity of alumni and donors on North Platte Giving Day, 2024. The bus was ordered last&nbsp; spring, and arrived on the NPCS campus at the end of January. After receiving a coat of “Irish” paint, the&nbsp; 65-person bus is now ready to transport students.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Endowment Director Wendy Dodson says the purchase of the bus was a joint effort between the&nbsp; endowment and the St. Pat’s Activities Association. Donations made on North Platte Giving Day&nbsp; generated roughly 75% of the funds needed to make the purchase. Special recognition is due to 1977 St.&nbsp; Pat’s alumni Dan Keenan and wife Sandy, who provided the lead gift and a matching gift for the bus.&nbsp;

Dodson says the new bus will replace one of the oldest in the school’s fleet, and will be used for travel to both athletic and educational events. Its inaugural trip will be Friday, February 7th as the Irish

“This play takes a unique look at many aspects of human nature, good and bad. Hopefully, the audience will question what humans are willing to do in the name of progress,” said NPCC Theater Instructor Ritch Galvan, who will direct the play.

Cast members include: Ady Hastings, Aaron Parshall, Bella Harwager, Lisselle Lucus, Elizabeth Tinsley, Wendi Galvan, Makannah Ronquiliio, Dustin Cartmill, Trenton Emmons, Dominic Hatch, Gianna Tejral, Anja Tejral, Leah Allen, Olivia Parshall and Kierian Tejral.

Troopers Find 110 LBs of Meth, 85 LBs of Marijuana in Traffic Stops near North Platte and Overton

North Platte, Neb., February 7, 2025 – On February 1, Great Plains Health became the&nbsp; seventh hospital in Nebraska to be recognized as a Pediatric Ready Hospital by the Nebraska&nbsp; Emergency Medical Services for Children Committee, marking a significant milestone for pediatric emergency care in the North Platte region.&nbsp;

This achievement is particularly significant as approximately 90% of children needing&nbsp; emergency care are first treated at local community emergency departments.&nbsp;

To earn this designation, Great Plains Health met rigorous standards in several key areas, including staff qualifications and training, quality improvement measures, pediatric-specific&nbsp; policies, continuing education programs, specialized equipment and supplies, and a commitment to ongoing process refinement.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"Having the right equipment, protocols, and training in place for pediatric emergencies can&nbsp; make a critical difference in outcomes," said Dr. James Smith, emergency physician at Great&nbsp; Plains Health. "Our team has worked diligently to implement these pediatric-ready standards,&nbsp; ensuring we're prepared when children need emergency care."&nbsp;

Research shows that emergency departments participating in pediatric readiness initiatives&nbsp; have improved clinical outcomes, with critically ill and injured children experiencing lower&nbsp; mortality rates compared to those treated at facilities not associated with such initiatives.&nbsp; Studies indicate hospitals with high levels of pediatric readiness can reduce mortality risk by&nbsp; up to 76%.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"This recognition reflects our dedication to providing the highest level of emergency care for&nbsp; children in our community," said Sarah Roth, emergency department clinical educator at Great&nbsp; Plains Health.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"We are continually advancing to provide our region with the best possible 24/7 emergency&nbsp; coverage at our Level III trauma center," said Stephanie Jacobson, director of emergency&nbsp; services at Great Plains Health. "Excellence in pediatric emergency care is a vital part of that&nbsp; mission."&nbsp;&nbsp;

Based in North Platte, Nebraska, Great Plains Health is a fully accredited, 116-bed acute-care&nbsp; regional medical center serving western and central Nebraska, northern Kansas, and southern&nbsp; South Dakota. With 90 physicians representing nearly 30 medical specialties, the Great Plains&nbsp; Health system offers advanced health care, including heart and vascular, cancer, and&nbsp;&nbsp;

orthopedic surgery services. Great Plains Health is a Level III trauma center, and all of its&nbsp; emergency department physicians are residency-trained and board-certified in emergency&nbsp; medicine. The system employs approximately 1,200 employees and serves a geographic area&nbsp; spanning approximately 16,000 square miles. The hospital is accredited by the Center for&nbsp; Improvement in Healthcare Quality (CIHQ) and is home to an American College of Surgeons accredited cancer center and Level II bariatric surgery program. For more information, visit&nbsp; gphealth.org.&nbsp;

About the National Pediatric Readiness Project (NPRP)&nbsp;

The National Pediatric Readiness Project is an initiative of the Health Resources and Services&nbsp; Administration’s (HRSA) Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Program in&nbsp; partnership with the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Emergency&nbsp; Physicians, and the Emergency Nurses Association. The project empowers emergency&nbsp; departments nationwide to improve their “pediatric readiness” or capability to care for acutely ill&nbsp; and injured children.

Attorney General Mike Hilgers Office

Attorney General Mike Hilgers announced on Monday that a Minatare woman who owns Campbell Pharmacy in Oshkosh, Nebraska, was sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to pay&nbsp;$76,963.90&nbsp;in restitution to Nebraska Medicaid after pleading guilty to one count of filing false Medicaid claims.

Joan Kicken, 65, was charged with one count of Fraudulently Obtaining a Payment on Behalf of a Recipient of Medical Assistance, a class IV felony. The maximum punishment for that crime is two years of imprisonment. There is no minimum. A second charge of forgery was dismissed in return for her guilty plea. Additionally, her pharmacist’s license has been revoked.

A joint investigation by state and federal officials found that Kicken submitted false claims to Nebraska Medicaid for prescription drugs that were not authorized by a medical practitioner. She was paid $76,963.90 for those false claims.

This case was investigated by the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office, the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the Drug Enforcement Administration and prosecuted by the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office.

Laura Troshynski named North Platte’s new FNBO City Ambassador

(North Platte, Neb.)&nbsp;&nbsp;— Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol SWAT Team have arrested one person following a standoff in Hitchcock County.

At approximately 5:15 p.m. Saturday, NSP received a request from the Hitchcock County Sheriff’s Office regarding an investigation in Stratton. The Sheriff’s Office had responded to a report of a domestic disturbance in which a subject had threatened a family member with a handgun. The victim was able to exit the residence and deputies determined that the subject was alone in the home, in the 800 block of Hamilton Street in Stratton.

The NSP SWAT Team was activated, along with NSP Crisis Negotiators and Drone Operators. Numerous attempts were made to communicate with the subject, but he did not respond. Troopers used drone and robot technology, as well as an NSP Police Service Dog, to determine the subject’s location inside the home.

Just after 3:00 a.m., troopers made entry into the home and located the subject hiding in the basement. He was taken into custody without incident. Keenan Jorschumb, 38, was arrested for making terroristic threats, use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony, and third-degree assault. He was lodged in Lincoln County Jail.
