(North Platte, Neb.)&nbsp;&nbsp;— A multi-agency effort led to the recovery of a missing juvenile and the arrest of two men on several charges in Thomas County.

Monday afternoon, NSP was notified that a stolen vehicle was believed to be traveling through Nebraska on Highway 83. The vehicle, a Toyota Sienna, had been stolen out of Colorado. Authorities in Colorado reported that a missing juvenile may be in danger traveling in the vehicle with two men.

Troopers, deputies from Thomas, Logan, and Lincoln Counties, as well as the Nebraska Brand Committee began searching for the vehicle. At approximately 3:10 p.m. Monday, the van was located on Highway 83, south of Thedford and a trooper performed a traffic stop. Deputies arrived on scene quickly to assist.

The trooper safely located a missing 13-year-old girl inside the van along with two men. The girl had been previously reported missing from South Dakota. Further investigation revealed that the men had also stolen a vehicle in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. That vehicle contained a rifle. The rifle was located by law enforcement on the side of Highway 83 and authorities believe it was thrown from the van as the trooper was approaching.

The two men were identified as Marquise Spotted Eagle, 20, and Datavion Taylor, 23, both of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. They were placed under arrest for possession of a stolen vehicle, possession of a stolen firearm, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, aiding and abetting, child endangerment, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Both men were lodged in Lincoln County Jail.&nbsp;

NSP is also working with authorities in Colorado and South Dakota on this investigation.

The Hot Sheets: August 15th, 2024

With the annual dove season opener on Sept. 1, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission has some reminders for hunters, as well as recommendations for areas to hunt.

Doves are abundant statewide and, with generous bag limits, provide some excellent wing-shooting opportunities. Doves may be hunted statewide Sept. 1 – Oct. 30, 2024, with daily bag and possession limits of 15 and 45, respectively. Bag and possession limits are for mourning, white-winged and Eurasian collared-doves in aggregate. Shooting hours are 30 minutes before sunrise until sunset.

Sunflowers, millet and wheat, which generally provide good food sources and dove hunting opportunities, were planted on numerous wildlife management areas earlier this year. For a listing of these “dove fields,” view the 2024 Dove Hunting Fact Sheet at&nbsp;<a href="https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Foutdoornebraska.gov%2F%3Futm_medium=email%26utm_source=govdelivery/1/010001914d45dc2d-68d4e5ae-b752-4fdc-b0f5-79ba38eb74ad-000000/YRVs6Dsb8ZgImvEfcZInV9ySwAFH3kb7je0CQTp2XEQ=366" target="_blank">OutdoorNebraska.gov</a>&nbsp;on the “<a href="https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Foutdoornebraska.gov%2Fhunt%2Fgame%2Fother-small-game%2F%3Futm_medium=email%26utm_source=govdelivery/1/010001914d45dc2d-68d4e5ae-b752-4fdc-b0f5-79ba38eb74ad-000000/7mqOtnNNzCzioK7wlkTuU8h26wE1yTjwcnyvDJt6RvM=366" target="_blank">Other small game</a>” webpage.

Preseason scouting is recommended due to changing habitat conditions.

Private lands throughout the state, where permission is required, also provide excellent hunting opportunities for doves.

Nebraska residents 16 years and older and all nonresidents are required to have a valid Nebraska small game hunting permit, habitat stamp and Harvest Information Program number. Federal and state migratory bird hunting stamps, or duck stamps, are not required to hunt doves. Shotgun plugs restricting it to no more than three shells also are required.

Hunters who harvest a dove with a leg band should contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at&nbsp;<a href="https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/http:%2F%2Fwww.reportband.gov%3Futm_medium=email%26utm_source=govdelivery/1/010001914d45dc2d-68d4e5ae-b752-4fdc-b0f5-79ba38eb74ad-000000/WwMrCJN9FoSrqRRnzHShVDjCxzIOG3ou8f_tJUgUgNA=366" target="_blank">reportband.gov</a>. In addition, randomly selected hunters will be asked to save one wing from each dove during the first week of the season and mail them postage-free to the Service.

Eurasian collared-doves also may be harvested between Oct. 31, 2024, and Aug. 31, 2025, with bag and possession limits of 15 and 45, respectively.

This year the unique competition will be held at Pals Brewing Company and is also in correlation with the Western Nebraska Craft Beer Festival.&nbsp;

Teams of up to three will compete to score the most points by launching avocados at targets using catapults, trebuchets, slingshots, water balloon launchers — basically, any launcher that is human-powered.

This is a competition of precision starting with pool play and then transitioning to a single elimination bracket. Teams will be launching the avocados at upside down cattle tanks with point values written on the bottoms. The purpose is to accumulate points. Prize money will be awarded to the final four teams with first place receiving $3,500, second place taking home $2,000, and the other top two teams winning $750 each. The competition is capped at 60 teams. On Friday, September 13th an optional practice event will be held at Pals Brewing Company, giving teams a chance to hone their devices at the actual competition site. Teams must RSVP in advance for the practice event to insure they have a time slot reserved. Then, on Saturday, September 14th teams will be required to attend a pre-launch meeting and mechanism inspection on competition day with check in running from 8:30am-9:30am. Then, the competition will kick off and avocados will fly starting at 10:20am.&nbsp;

Teams that register for the National Avocado Launching Championship will be offered half price general admission tickets to the Western Nebraska Craft Beer Festival.&nbsp;

Spectators of the National Avocado Launching Championship are welcome free of charge.&nbsp;&nbsp;

National Avocado Launching Championship Presented by the U.S. Army

Omaha, Neb.- Union Pacific Railroad today announced its famed&nbsp;<a href="https://www.up.com/up/heritage/steam/4014/index.htm">Big Boy No. 4014 locomotive</a>&nbsp;will stop in more than three dozen communities during its fall tour across 10 states, including four public display days in Houston, Fort Worth and the Chicago area.

As part of the tour, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.uprrmuseum.org/uprrm/">Union Pacific Railroad Museum</a>&nbsp;will be auctioning off four cab rides on Big Boy No. 4014, with proceeds going to two worthy causes: the Union Pacific Museum Association and Union Pacific’s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.up.com/up/employee/upec/friends/index.htm">Friend to Friend Network</a>, a nonprofit that benefits railroad families in times of need, such as medical or natural disaster hardships. The auction starts Monday, Aug. 12 and ends Monday, Aug. 19. Details can be found at&nbsp;<a href="https://rarauctions.com/upm">https://rarauctions.com/upm</a>.

The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.up.com/up/heritage/steam/schedule/index.htm">2024 Heartland of America Tour</a>&nbsp;kicks off Aug. 28, from Cheyenne, Wyoming. During the tour, Big Boy will pass through Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming.

The 2024 Nebraska Broadcasters Association Convention proved to be a rewarding one for Eagle radio stations in Alliance, Chadron and North Platte.  During the event's Pinnacle Awards banquet, three awards were received by Eagle employees.

Double Q Country Sports Director and "voice of the CSC Eagles" Dave Collins received the Gold Award in the "Best Sports Play-By-Play" category.&nbsp; Collins, who has won several NBA awards for his sports broadcasting efforts, travels with Chadron State Eagle teams throughout the year to bring games to radio listeners all over Nebraska.&nbsp; Collins met his wife Shaunda in Chadron where she is a Full Professor in the Communications Department at CSC. They enjoy spending time with their infant son Braylon, traveling all over the country, running half-marathon races and attending games together in new stadiums.

Also receiving a gold award Wednesday night (his 10th NBA award overall) was Eagle Radio Alliance/Chadron Director Of Creative Services Jason Wentworth.&nbsp; "Wenty " took home the Gold for "Best Promotional Announcement."&nbsp; Joining Wentworth in the production of the winning "Jingle Cash promo" was Kalin Krohe; the two have been creative partners for years.&nbsp; "Kalin brings his sense of humor, vocal variety and improvisational skill to all of our commercial projects.&nbsp; I couldn't do it without him!"&nbsp; Wentworth, who has been at KCOW for 26 years, celebrates 2024 as the 25th anniversary of his KCOW morning show.

Last, but not least, North Platte Marketing Consultant Carla Beck received a Bronze award in the highly competitive "Best Commercial" category.&nbsp; Her commercial for Axes and Aces was titled "The Big Game."

It should be noted that unlike some state broadcasting associations, where awards are split up among "small market", "medium market" and "large market" stations--assuring a greater likelihood of an entry winning--the Nebraska Broadcasters Association votes for all entries equally.&nbsp; This means the three winning entries above managed to defeat some of the largest, most powerful radio stations in Omaha, Lincoln, and other large city stations.&nbsp; &nbsp;

&nbsp; Sandhills Energy is thrilled to announce that eight of our community solar projects across Nebraska have been selected to receive nearly $30 million in loan funding through the USDA’s Powering Affordable Clean Energy (PACE) program. The Nebraska community solar projects selected are part of our ongoing collaboration with the Municipal Energy Agency of Nebraska (MEAN) to provide renewable energy to 16 municipalities across 15 sites in the Midwest.

PACE program funding, coordinated by USDA Rural Development’s Rural Utilities Service (RUS), includes a significant loan with a forgiveness component. The loan amount is used to reduce the cost of power, passing all savings onto the rate-payer. In awarding the $30 million in funding, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack said, “Rural communities are the backbone of America, and the Biden-Harris Administration is proud to partner with them to create a more affordable and sustainable future that will benefit rural families, businesses, and the health of our planet for generations to come.” He added that “the project we’re announcing today will create good-paying jobs, lower energy costs for consumers, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and strengthen the resiliency of our nation’s electric grid.”

Sandhills Energy was also highlighted by RUS Administrator Andrew Berke at the Nebraska Governor's Ag and Economic Development Summit in Kearney, Nebraska. “The PACE project we are announcing today – and many others to come – reduces costs, creates jobs, and provides new economic opportunities for rural Americans. This gives people in rural America a better chance to succeed and stay in the rural communities they love.”

Construction on these community solar installations began in June with groundbreakings in Alliance and Sidney, Nebraska. As the developer of these solar facilities, Sandhills Energy brings extensive expertise in utility-scale renewable energy to enhance grid resiliency for the participating communities, which include Gering, Imperial, Ansley, Pender, Crete, and Stuart, Nebraska. Our focus on economies of scale allows these communities to benefit from reduced power purchase prices, traditionally available only to larger regional utilities. This ensures that member utilities can provide cost-effective electricity with stable rates for decades to come.

For more information about the PACE program, the USDA Rural Development’s RUS, and our projects across Nebraska, please refer to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.usda.gov/media/press-releases/2024/08/08/biden-harris-administration-partners-rural-utility-bring-affordable" target="_blank">USDA’s press release announcing the funding</a>.

About Sandhills Energy&nbsp; <a href="https://sandhillsenergy.com/" target="_blank">Sandhills Energy</a>&nbsp;is a renewable energy development company based in Nebraska and Iowa. Focused on commercial and utility generation, Sandhills Energy has extensive experience in project development, from identification to engineering, construction, and operations. Sandhills Energy provides renewable energy development at any scale. Sandhills is well-positioned to work closely with utilities, municipalities, and landowners to accelerate the growth of renewable energy adoption by utilities and farming communities.

In awarding the $30 million in funding, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack said, “Rural communities are the backbone of America, and the Biden-Harris Administration is proud to partner with them to create a more affordable and sustainable future that will benefit rural families, businesses, and the health of our planet for generations to come.” He added that “the project we’re announcing today will create good-paying jobs, lower energy costs for consumers, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and strengthen the resiliency of our nation’s electric grid.”Sandhills Energy was also highlighted by RUS Administrator Andrew Berke at the Nebraska Governor's Ag and Economic Development Summit in Kearney, Nebraska. “The PACE project we are announcing today – and many others to come – reduces costs, creates jobs, and provides new economic opportunities for rural Americans. This gives people in rural America a better chance to succeed and stay in the rural communities they love.”Construction on these community solar installations began in June with groundbreakings in Alliance and Sidney, Nebraska. As the developer of these solar facilities, Sandhills Energy brings extensive expertise in utility-scale renewable energy to enhance grid resiliency for the participating communities, which include Gering, Imperial, Ansley, Pender, Crete, and Stuart, Nebraska. Our focus on economies of scale allows these communities to benefit from reduced power purchase prices, traditionally available only to larger regional utilities. This ensures that member utilities can provide cost-effective electricity with stable rates for decades to come.For more information about the PACE program, the USDA Rural Development’s RUS, and our projects across Nebraska, please refer to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.usda.gov/media/press-releases/2024/08/08/biden-harris-administration-partners-rural-utility-bring-affordable" target="_blank">USDA’s press release announcing the funding</a>.About Sandhills Energy&nbsp; <a href="https://sandhillsenergy.com/" target="_blank">Sandhills Energy</a>&nbsp;is a renewable energy development company based in Nebraska and Iowa.

Sandhills Energy secures nearly $30 Million in funding for Nebraska Community Solar Projects

Lincoln, NE - Marilyn Miller of&nbsp;Ansley&nbsp;is the fifth winner of a 2024 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 SuperCrew truck in the 29th edition of the Nebraska Lottery’s $2 Truck$ &amp; Buck$ Scratch game.

Miller purchased her winning Truck$ &amp; Buck$ ticket at Casey’s #2068 at 609 Plum Creek Parkway in Lexington. She was presented with her new truck at Casey's on Thursday, August 8 by Nebraska Lottery officials.

Miller said she and her husband Duane were heading home from an auction in Grand Island and decided to stop in Lexington for some supper. They decided to make a quick trip to Casey’s to fill up their vehicle and she popped inside to cash in a few winning Scratch tickets.

“I won $20,” she said. “And so I took that $20 and spent $10 of it on five Truck$ &amp; Buck$ tickets.”

One of those tickets ended up winning her the pickup. She called the Nebraska Lottery the next day and her truck was delivered to her in Lexington about a week later.

“I’m still speechless, I guess,” she said. “It’s just neat that I won.”

“That’s not even a once in a lifetime deal,” Duane added. “It’s probably once in ten lifetimes.”

The 29th edition of the Nebraska Lottery’s popular $2 Truck$ &amp; Buck$ Scratch game features the 2024 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 SuperCrew truck as its top prize. Players have the opportunity to win one of eight Ford F-150 trucks as well as thousands of cash prizes. The truck prize is valued at $81,500, which includes $976 for costs associated with ownership and state and federal withholding paid by the Nebraska Lottery of $4,075 and $19,560, respectively. The odds of winning the top prize in Truck$ &amp; Buck$ are 1 in 336,000, while the overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.69.

The mission of the Nebraska Lottery is to generate proceeds for good causes while providing quality entertainment options to Nebraskans. Over $991 million has been raised for the Nebraska Lottery’s beneficiary funds since the Lottery began in 1993. All 93 counties in Nebraska have benefited from projects funded with these Nebraska Lottery proceeds.
