The Hot Sheets: February 3rd, 2024

Students from Ogallala High School are gaining valuable skills in applied technology thanks to a new Ready-to-Work Building Construction program.

The program, offered through the Mid-Plains Community College Ogallala Campus, was designed with a dual purpose in mind. It provides an educational opportunity for students who might be interested in a career in the trades and also serves as an effort to meet workforce needs in Keith County.

“We know education is changing, and we know employers are looking to hire people with skills, not just degrees,” said Mary Pierce, MPCC Ogallala Campus administrator. “Most contractors in Keith County would love to hire entry-level employees with skills.”

Casey Craig, owner of Unit #24 Welding and Construction in Ogallala, is one of them. He is the instructor for the class.

“There’s definitely a lot of need for laborers in general in the trades, let alone someone who has the basic skills,” Craig said. “That’s what we are trying to teach here, so [these students] can come into the field and have the basic skills and knowledge to be useful. I took this position because I’ve been trying to hire someone for the past two years and finally came to the realization that I could either continue complaining about it or do something about it – not just for my business and my sake but for the rest of the community.”

The RTWBC program is based out of the MPCC Ogallala Campus.

The four students in the program were selected through the high school. Together, they are building a 16 by 20-foot structure that could be used for a variety of purposes such as a tiny house, shed or workshop. It will have a porch and railing on the front. The students are learning all aspects of home building in the process – everything from framing and windows to trusses and roofing.

“I was excited when I heard about this opportunity because I want to go into building construction,” said Hailey Tolander, a junior at Ogallala High School. “We’re learning about measurements and how to cut stuff. It’s been a really fun learning experience.”

The class meets two days per week. Work started in January and will continue into March. After successful completion of the program, the students will receive a Building Construction Technology certificate from MPCC.

The finished building will be auctioned in the spring, and proceeds will be put toward a future class.

“The MPCC Ready-to-Work program has been a great experience for our students,” said John O’Neil, principal of Ogallala High School. “The opportunity to work on this project has been fun and rewarding for them. Through hands-on learning, they’re not only gaining construction skills, but also building a foundation of resilience, teamwork and tangible skills that will last a lifetime.”

The MPCC Ogallala Campus is able to offer the RTWBC program for free thanks to a combination of grant funding and sponsors.

The majority of funds for RTWBC came from an $8,333 grant that will be provided annually over five years by the Nebraska Investment Finance Authority’s Teaching Nebraska Trades program.

Teaching Nebraska Trades is designed to encourage students to enter the construction trades, especially those focused on residential housing, and to motivate them to seek out training at the community college level.

The overall goal is to build sustainable programs supporting trade education in Nebraska after the initial pilot years have concluded.

Local and regional businesses, including Ogallala’s Mead Lumber and First Star Recycling, also contributed materials for the RTWBC program.

The Hot Sheets: February 1st, 2024

<a href="https://nebraskaexaminer.com/briefs/state-audit-claims-senior-center-manager-in-ogallala-overpaid-herself/">Nebraska Examiner</a>

LINCOLN — The Nebraska State Auditor’s Office on Wednesday accused the former director of an Ogallala senior center of improperly paying herself more than $11,000 upon leaving the job.

According to an audit of the Keith County Senior Center, Jeanine “Jeanie” Herman paid herself $2,380 twice for unused vacation leave upon her exit in March 2023.

In addition, Herman obtained checks of $7,480 for unused sick leave, even though the center didn’t pay for unused sick leave, and other checks for $1,360 for “Vacation Salary” and “Sick Salary” that also were not allowed. None of the payments was approved by the center’s board of directors, the auditor noted.

The Auditor’s Office, in a five-page letter to the senior center, said it was referring its findings to the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office and Keith County Attorney’s Office for possible criminal prosecution for theft.

Attempts to reach Herman, who served two years as the center’s director, were not immediately successful Wednesday.

The senior center did not provide an official response to the audit. But a spokesperson for the center said Wednesday that it was in the process of negotiating with Herman about the alleged overpayments.

<a href="https://nebraskaexaminer.com/briefs/debate-continues-on-whether-nebraska-should-change-to-permanent-daylight-saving-time-or-permanent-standard-time/">Nebraska Examiner</a>

LINCOLN — For a second time, state lawmakers debated Tuesday whether Nebraska needs to pursue adopting permanent daylight saving time or join two states that have year-round standard time.

The debate pits golfers and broadcasters, who support the added evening sunshine of DST, against health experts who argue that our biological clocks and sleep patterns work best on standard time.

Under Legislative Bill 143, Nebraska would forego the annual “fall-back and spring-forward” changes to daylight saving time and adopt it year round — but only if three bordering states also make the change and the U.S. Congress approves.

State Sen. Steve Erdman of Bayard has introduced an amendment requiring the state to adopt year-round standard time, like Arizona and Hawaii.

He cited research from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine indicating that the “abrupt” switching of clocks every spring and fall causes an increase in heart attacks, mood disorders and auto crashes.

But permanent daylight saving time is the worst option, healthwise, Erdman said, and health concerns trump added sunshine for recreation.

“Our biological clocks work best on standard time … because that’s what God created,” he said.

Lincoln Sen. Danielle Conrad assumed sponsorship of LB 143 after its previous sponsor, Sen. Tom Briese, resigned to become state treasurer. Her primary goal is to end the annual clock changes in spring and fall.

She added, however, that the golf industry and state broadcasters are concerned about switching to permanent standard time and making Nebraska “an outlier” with other states.

Nineteen states, including neighboring Colorado and Wyoming, have adopted proposals to switch to permanent daylight saving time, pending congressional approval.

Switching to permanent standard time, Erdman pointed out, does not require an OK from Congress, and such congressional approval for permanent daylight time is iffy.

Legislators adjourned debate for the day Tuesday before getting to a vote on Erdman’s amendment or LB 143. Debate could resume as early as Wednesday

&nbsp; On 1/29/24 at approximately 14:06, Scottsbluff Police were dispatched to the intersection of Ave B and W 20th ST in reference to a four-vehicle injury accident. The investigation found that the four vehicles involved were a black 2016 Ford F350 driven by Jared Whiting 41 of Mitchell, a US Postal Service vehicle driven by Robert Hesse 49 of Gering, a white 2007 GMC pickup driven by Chesnie Le 28 of Scottsbluff, and a black 2015 Ford Expedition driven by Alan Carter 62 of Rushville.

The investigation found that the 2016 Ford F350 was north bound in the 1800 block of Ave B when it sideswiped the 2015 Ford Expedition. After the initial impact with the Expedition, the F350 continued north on Ave B until it impacted the rear end of the US Postal vehicle, causing the US Postal vehicle to impact the rear of the 2007 GMC pickup. Hesse and Whiting were treated at Regional West Medical Center for minor injuries. Le was issued a citation for Driving Under Suspension.

A medical complication is being considered as a contributing factor in the accident. The F350 and US Postal vehicle are total losses. The Expedition sustained an estimated $500 in damages and the GMC pickup sustained an estimated $4000 in damages.
