Union Pacific announced today that its legendary steam locomotive&nbsp;<a href="https://www.up.com/up/heritage/steam/4014/index.htm">Big Boy No. 4014</a>&nbsp;will embark on a second tour this year, with a trip planned this fall in middle America, including Chicago and Houston.

The “Heartland of America Tour” will start Aug. 29 in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and include nine additional states: Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas. The eight-week tour concludes in late October.

Big Boy will make several whistle-stops in communities along its route and hold display days for the public and Union Pacific employees to enjoy the locomotive:

Additional route details and approximate times for whistle-stops will be shared closer to the tour.

In all, Big Boy No. 4014 will have visited 14 states in 2024, including five states during its summer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.up.com/up/heritage/steam/schedule/index.htm">“Westward Bound Tour”</a>&nbsp;from Wyoming to California.

Big Boy is the world’s largest operating steam locomotive. Twenty-five were built during World War II, but only eight survived. No. 4014 is the only one in operation. Union Pacific reminds all rail fans to keep safety top of mind and stay 25 feet back from the tracks when taking a picture or viewing this mammoth machine. That means never take a picture or video standing on the track or the ballast and never climb on the locomotive or equipment.

A&nbsp;<a href="https://www.up.com/up/heritage/steam/track/index.htm">steam tracking map</a>&nbsp;showing No. 4014's location and route will be available at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.up.com/up/heritage/steam/index.htm">upsteam.com</a>.

	 Union Pacific's Big Boy No. 4014 to Steam Across 10 Midwestern and Southern States in Fall Tour

(Sutherland, Nebraska, June 17, 2024) – The Village of Sutherland Board of Trustees accepted the recommendations of the Economic Development Program’s Citizens Advisory Review Committee and approved $45,085 in grant awards from the Property Improvement Program and a $1,000 award from the Digital Marketing grant program.

The awards include $2,835 for residential sidewalk replacement at 1022 Second Street, $10,000 for tuck pointing at 130 Walnut Street, $10,000 for new windows and doors at 820 First Street, $6,000 for a new front wall at 822 First Street, $10,000 for a new roof, soffit and fascia at 910 First Street,$6,250 for a new driveway at 130 Park Street and $1,000 for digital marketing for Stolen Vault Records.

According to Economic Development Program Administrator Muriel Clark, the commercial buildings at 130 Walnut Street and 910 First Street are significantly more than 100 years old, and those at 820 and 822 First Street will be celebrating their centennial in 1927. “The CARC is pleased to have these historic buildings occupied by young entrepreneurs. The care they are receiving today in this public/private partnership will ensure that they will continue to serve Sutherland for another century.” The award for a new driveway at 130 Park Street assists in the conversion of a derelict residential building into a commercial location for an expanded Sutherland business.

The Property Improvement Program also assists homeowners to replace or repair the public sidewalks at their residences. The award at 1022 Second Street will make a continuous safe and accessible sidewalk on the north side of the 1000 block of Second Street from Spruce to Oak.

The final award, $1,000 for digital marketing for Stolen Vault Records will assist the owner in making the public aware of the services available at the new location in downtown Sutherland.

Since its inception in January of 2023, the Economic Development Program, funded by the LB840 Local Option Sales Tax approved by the voters in May of 2022 has logged nearly $120,000 in receipts.

Sutherland Awards Economic Development Grants

NORTH PLATTE, NEB. – More than 250 kids and their families flooded the cobblestone streets of downtown North Platte to learn about where their food, fiber, and energy&nbsp;come&nbsp;from at the inaugural Agriculture on the Bricks event on June 8.

Hosted by the&nbsp;Nebraska&nbsp;Farm&nbsp;Bureau&nbsp;Foundation and&nbsp;North Platte&nbsp;Public Schools&nbsp;Kids Klub, the event was designed to provide the community with an opportunity to explore the vast world of agriculture. Kids and their families participated in hands-on activities and interacted with farmers and ranchers as they learned how food gets from the&nbsp;farm&nbsp;to their plate.

“Agriculture on the Bricks was a huge success!” said Emily Kammerer,&nbsp;education&nbsp;specialist for the&nbsp;Nebraska&nbsp;Farm&nbsp;Bureau&nbsp;Foundation. “Our goal was to create an accessible, family-friendly event that gave children the chance to explore and learn about our state’s leading industry: agriculture. It was awesome to see families all the way from Ogallala to Kearney come together and celebrate agriculture!”

Kids participated in activities like Cover Crop Monster to explore how farmers protect their soil by planting cover crops as well as an agricultural careers activity where they matched different careers in agriculture to the correct description to receive a prize.

“When a community understands how their food, fiber, and energy are produced, they are able to confidently make decisions about their resources,” said Megahn Schafer, executive director of the&nbsp;Nebraska&nbsp;Farm&nbsp;Bureau&nbsp;Foundation. “We are elated to see the community’s excitement in the North Platte area about agriculture and hope the conversation continues about the vitality of agriculture.”

The mission of the&nbsp;Nebraska&nbsp;Farm&nbsp;Bureau&nbsp;Foundation is to engage youth, educators, and the general public to promote an understanding of the vital importance of agriculture in the lives of all Nebraskans. The&nbsp;Nebraska&nbsp;Farm&nbsp;Bureau&nbsp;Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

He will maintain his current position with this new expanded role.

Last season, Rath called games for our sister market, Sandhills Post, calling local area games of the week on Flatrock 100.7. His duties included doing play-by-play for football and basketball.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“We are thrilled to have Canon expand his role at Eagle, becoming an integral part of our team in Alliance and Chadron,” said Olivia Hasenauer, Nebraska Regional Manager. “With his extensive experience in play-by-play coverage and his deep knowledge of the teams and players in Western Nebraska, Canon is the perfect fit.

Canon also had a once in a lifetime opportunity to call the 2020 Class D2 Football State Championship between Dundy County Stratton and Burwell for Nebraska Public Media (formerly known as NET).&nbsp;

KCOW Radio and Panhandle Post&nbsp;are excited for this next chapter and looking to be the premier provider of coverage for the Panhandle Region.&nbsp;

“This is an exciting time not only for our dedicated audience, who passionately follow AHS sports on KCOW 1400AM/92.5FM and Panhandle Post, but also for the schools we cover. In Western Nebraska, being local and embedded in our communities is crucial,” said Hasenauer.&nbsp;“We pride ourselves on providing top-notch coverage for our young student-athletes. At Eagle, we are committed to being the premier provider of news, sports, and entertainment in the Panhandle Region.”&nbsp;

Rath graduated from the University of Nebraska at Kearney in May 2023 as a dual major in Sports Communication and Sports Management. During his 5-year tenure as a Loper, he was heavily involved with the student run radio station 91.1 KLPR, where he hosted a weekly sport show, hosted a weekly sports update and did play-by-play/color for Loper Athletics. 

He spent four years on the KLPR Sports Staff and was Sports Director for his last three years of college. He has been nominated many times at the national level for his work for Loper Athletic broadcast, his weekly sports update “Loper Update” and the longest student running show “Throwin Lopes” where he created it with fellow student Grant Tighe in 2020.&nbsp;

Rath got his start in broadcasting when he was a Junior at Kearney High School when he joined the Bearcat Sports Network, which is Kearney High School’s Striv program. Canon got his start in radio his freshman year in college when he joined Platte River Radio as a board op and producer. He would regularly produce the Doug and Daddy Show, studio engineering many sporting events, and more. Rath also hosted the "Rutts and Rivals Scoreboard Show" for two years.

Eagle Media, KCOW Radio welcomes Canon Rath as the next “Voice” of the Alliance Bulldogs

LINCOLN, NEB. – Securing the next Farm Bill is essential for creating a sustainable future for agriculture and is at the forefront of producers’ minds across the country. Movement on the Farm Bill was one of the key messages Nebraska Farm Bureau (NEFB) Young Farmers and Ranchers (YF&amp;R) Committee members shared with the Nebraska congressional delegation during their annual fly-in to Washington, D.C.

Enhancing federal crop insurance remains a top priority for NEFB members and ensuring that it is not tied to climate focused practices is crucial for the long-term success of operations and the integrity of the program. NEFB commends the House Agriculture Committee for passing a bipartisan bill out of committee, but YF&amp;R members called for both the full House and the Senate to take up the legislation.

“Having the Farm Bill pass out of the House Ag Committee is a huge step in the right direction,” said Daniel Hasart, YF&amp;R committee member and cattle rancher from Cherry County. “It is important that the Farm Bill includes a legislative fix to California’s Proposition 12 and Massachusetts's Question 3 to ensure that one state or locality cannot control how we produce livestock and meat products for the rest of the country and world.

As domestic workforce availability continues to be a challenge, the H-2A program became increasingly essential in agriculture. Just under 4,000 H-2A positions were used in Nebraska alone in FY2023, however, this growth does not convey how needlessly complex and expensive the program has become. Between six straight years of exponential wage growth, agency regulation overreach, and persistent congressional inaction, many agriculture operations- including many small and medium sized operations- are struggling to operate through the program.

“We need Congress to pass legislation that pauses the Adverse Effect Wage Rate for the H-2A program at 2023 levels,” said Grant Jones, a YF&amp;R committee member, row crop farmer, and cattle rancher from Chase County. “Supporting the Farm Operations Act and freezing the wage rate will allow farmers and ranchers to pay their employees without risking financial upset of their operation.”

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) allowed reduced tax rates for many farm and ranch businesses. The law, which includes many important tax provisions, is set to expire in 2025 which would drastically increase taxes if let lapse.

“Not extending the TCJA would be detrimental to my operation,” said Courtney Nelson, Madison County YF&amp;R Committee member and row crop farmer. “From unpredictable markets to weather disasters, agriculture operates in a world of uncertainty. We need a tax code that provides certainty and will allow me to continue to operate and grow my farm and ranch.”

The YF&amp;R committee connects young farmers and ranchers from across Nebraska to develop their leadership skills, engage with their peers, advocate for policy, and serve as the next generation of agricultural leaders.

“When young producers sit across the table from their senators and congressmen, they are reminding policymakers that agriculture is thriving, innovative, and sustainable for generations to come,” said Audrey Schipporeit, director of generational engagement at NEFB. “Amplifying young producer voices encourages more young people to advocate for the future of agriculture.”

In addition to meeting with all five of Nebraska’s congressional delegates, the group also met with officials from the House Agriculture Committee, the EPA, Chief Economist with USDA, and the Chief Economist for the Senate Ag Committee.

YF&amp;R committee members that participated in the visit to Washington, D.C. included:

The Nebraska Farm Bureau is a grassroots, state-wide organization dedicated to supporting farm and ranch families and working for the benefit of all Nebraskans through a wide variety of educational, service, and advocacy efforts. More than 55,000 families across Nebraska are Farm Bureau members, working together to achieve rural and urban prosperity as agriculture is a key fuel to Nebraska’s economy.

Between six straight years of exponential wage growth, agency regulation overreach, and persistent congressional inaction, many agriculture operations- including many small and medium sized operations- are struggling to operate through the program.“We need Congress to pass legislation that pauses the Adverse Effect Wage Rate for the H-2A program at 2023 levels,” said Grant Jones, a YF&amp;R committee member, row crop farmer, and cattle rancher from Chase County. “Supporting the Farm Operations Act and freezing the wage rate will allow farmers and ranchers to pay their employees without risking financial upset of their operation.”The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) allowed reduced tax rates for many farm and ranch businesses. The law, which includes many important tax provisions, is set to expire in 2025 which would drastically increase taxes if let lapse.“Not extending the TCJA would be detrimental to my operation,” said Courtney Nelson, Madison County YF&amp;R Committee member and row crop farmer. “From unpredictable markets to weather disasters, agriculture operates in a world of uncertainty. We need a tax code that provides certainty and will allow me to continue to operate and grow my farm and ranch.”The YF&amp;R committee connects young farmers and ranchers from across Nebraska to develop their leadership skills, engage with their peers, advocate for policy, and serve as the next generation of agricultural leaders.“When young producers sit across the table from their senators and congressmen, they are reminding policymakers that agriculture is thriving, innovative, and sustainable for generations to come,” said Audrey Schipporeit, director of generational engagement at NEFB. “Amplifying young producer voices encourages more young people to advocate for the future of agriculture.”In addition to meeting with all five of Nebraska’s congressional delegates, the group also met with officials from the House Agriculture Committee, the EPA, Chief Economist with USDA, and the Chief Economist for the Senate Ag Committee.YF&amp;R committee members that participated in the visit to Washington, D.C. included:<ul>
 <li>Grant Jones, Chase County</li><li>Courtney Nelson, Madison County</li><li>Daniel Hasart, Cherry County</li>
 </ul>The Nebraska Farm Bureau is a grassroots, state-wide organization dedicated to supporting farm and ranch families and working for the benefit of all Nebraskans through a wide variety of educational, service, and advocacy efforts. More than 55,000 families across Nebraska are Farm Bureau members, working together to achieve rural and urban prosperity as agriculture is a key fuel to Nebraska’s economy.

Nebraska Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers Advocate for Action on the Farm Bill in DC

(LINCOLN, NEB.)&nbsp;&nbsp;—&nbsp;Thirteen new Nebraska State Troopers are ready to hit the road in service to the people of Nebraska. Members of the Nebraska State Patrol’s 69th&nbsp;Basic Recruit Class received their badges and were sworn-in today during a ceremony at the State Capitol in Lincoln.

“Your public service starts today,” Colonel John Bolduc told the new troopers during today’s ceremony. “You are dedicated to serving others. That means putting others ahead of yourselves. It may even mean putting yourself in harm’s way in service to others. Thank you for being willing to do just that.”

The 13 members of Camp 69 come to NSP from communities across Nebraska, Iowa, and Pennsylvania. The newly sworn-in troopers have completed 22 weeks of intense training, including extensive live-action training scenarios and rigorous academic instruction. Their training now continues in the field, pairing with veteran troopers in the field training process.

Outstanding performance in several areas of training was recognized with awards during the graduation ceremony. Recruit Garrett Swantek, of Genoa, received the Superintendent’s Leadership Award. Recruit Tomas Margritz, of Lexington, was honored with the D.R. Shearer Marksmanship Award. The O.H. Witt Academic Achievement Award was presented to Recruit Ryan Clark, of Kearney. Recruit Carissa Moore, of Crete, was awarded the Captain Mark Williams Core Values Award. Recruit Bryce Smidt, of Rockwell City, Iowa, was honored with the R. J. Buchholz Physical Fitness Award.

Governor Jim Pillen and Attorney General Mike Hilgers provided remarks during today’s graduation ceremony, which was held in the rotunda of the Nebraska State Capitol. Secretary of State Bob Evnen administered the oath of office.

“You’ve been through extraordinary challenges. You’ve overcome more than you probably thought you could 24 weeks ago,” said Governor Pillen. “I simply can’t say thank you enough. We are incredibly proud of you. You are answering the most noble calling of public service, taking care of the brothers and sisters of this great state.”

   Governor Pillen Seeks Applicants for NPPD Board 

Columbus, Neb. –&nbsp;The shores of Lake Maloney will be treated for Spiny Naiad, an abrasive plant that has sharp leaves and branches which limits recreational activities, such as swimming, along the shoreline of the lake.

To control the growth of Spiny Naiad along the shores, Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) and the Lake Maloney Property Owners Association (LMPOA) have contracted with Aquatic Controls to treat some of the impacted shorelines and bays with an herbicide. Weather permitting, the application will take place on June 17 and will cover most of the residential shorelines and public access areas where Spiny Naiad is growing.

“NPPD and LMPOA have worked closely with the Nebraska Game and Parks to research the best way to control the spread of Spiny Naiad in a way that is safe and effective. Aquatic Controls is experienced in treating Spiny Naiad and will be able to complete the application with minimal impact to activities at the lake, the day of the application,” says NPPD Senior Environmental Specialist Justin King.

The herbicide application will be completed from a boat to treat approximately 40 acres of Lake Maloney’s 1,650 acres of water surface. The lake will remain open for regular use on June 17, however for the safety of the contractor, and to help with efficiency of the application, NPPD asks lake goers to avoid areas where work is being completed.

There will be a Celebration of Jim Salestrom’s life on Friday, June 21, in the University of Nebraska at Kearney’s Fine Arts Recital Hall beginning at 7:00 p.m. CDT.&nbsp; The presentation is planned to highlight some of Jim’s life, experiences, career, and his music.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Doors to the celebration will open at 6:00 p.m.&nbsp;

As written in his obituary, James Kevin Salestrom impacted countless lives throughout his long and successful musical career. To his family he was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, and brother. He was born February 20, 1956 in Omaha, NE to Virgil and Janice Salestrom. He is survived by his wife Pamela Dailer Salestrom, his daughter Casey, son-in-law Brandon Freeman and son James Salestrom Jr. of Nashville, TN. The true joy of his life was his grandson - Casey and Brandon’s son, Thomas James. Jim also dearly loved his brothers Chuck and Tom Salestrom and their families.

To his fans Jim was a joy to listen to, a world class singer/songwriter and an Emmy winning performer. His love of music started at the early age of 7 when he got his first guitar. As he got older, he started writing songs, and formed several groups in Nebraska with his brother Chuck. The most notable of these was Timberline, which further launched his career.&nbsp;

He played guitar and sang in Dolly Parton’s band over the course of decades. Her shows took him all over the world. Jim also had a close relationship with John Denver and performed with him throughout the years. He shared his love of life and positive spirit through his music. He worked with countless wonderful musicians and performed for 5 U.S. Presidents, and numerous members of the U.S. Supreme Court.

He treated everyone with love and respect. Jim was known for his humor, infectious smile, positive outlook on life and a gift to make everyone feel special. He sang like an angel, and luckily his music will endure long past his lifetime.&nbsp;&nbsp;Amazingly, he was still performing shows three weeks prior to his death&nbsp;

Jim passed away on Wednesday, November 22 surrounded by loved ones at his home in Arvada, CO after a decade-long battle with cancer. He was 67 years old.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Jim’s family has planned 3 separate events starting in Kearney on June 21, then Breckenridge CO on June 26, and finally in Big Sky, Montana on August 5th. &nbsp;Memorials are suggested to the&nbsp;Grateful Music&nbsp;Foundation--&nbsp;a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation located at 133B Pheasant Tail Lane in Big Sky, Montana.

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission will consider recommendations for a 2025 mountain lion hunting season at its June 21 meeting in Ogallala.

The meeting begins at 8 a.m. Mountain time at the Petrified Wood Gallery, 418 E. 1st&nbsp;St.

For the first time, a hunting season will be proposed for mountain lions in the Wildcat Hills. If approved, a Wildcat Hills Unit will be created, joining the existing Pine Ridge Unit and Niobrara Unit as areas that would allow mountain lion harvest.

The Wildcat Hills Unit would encompass parts of Scotts Bluff, Morrill, Cheyenne, Garden, Kimball, and Banner counties. The objective for the unit is to provide a harvest opportunity for hunters that will keep the lion population resilient while slightly reducing their numbers.

Game and Parks’ genetic surveys in 2023 estimate there are 70 mountain lions in the Pine Ridge, up from the last estimate of 33 in 2021. Surveys that will allow population estimates for the Niobrara and Wildcat Hills are presently being conducted. Twenty-seven mountain lions were documented in the Niobrara Valley during 2023, and 24 were documented in the Wildcat Hills.

Season 1 in all three units would take place Jan. 2, 2025, through the end of February. The season would end immediately in a unit if the annual harvest limit or female sub-limit were reached. The Pine Ridge limit would be 12 mountain lions with a sub-limit of six females, the Niobrara limit would be four mountain lions with a two female sub-limit, and the Wildcat Hills limit would be three mountain lions with a two female sub-limit.

Up to 960 permits could be issued by lottery in the Pine Ridge Unit, up to 320 permits in the Niobrara Unit, and up to 240 permits in the Wildcat Hills Unit. Permits are available to residents only. An auxiliary season that allows the use of dogs would be March 15 through the end of March if the annual harvest limit or female sub-limit were not reached during Season 1 in any unit. A number of permits equal to the number of lions remaining in the limit would be issued by lottery to unsuccessful permit holders from that unit who apply for the auxiliary season.

In other business, commissioners will consider changes to park regulations that would:

Commissioners also will consider these fishing regulation changes:

In addition, there will be staff recommendations to:

Staff also will present the results of a survey on Lake McConaughy and Lake Ogallala, a report on Lake McConaughy, and an update on outreach efforts in west-central Nebraska.

Class II and Class III e-bikes would be permitted as posted.</li>
 </ul>Commissioners also will consider these fishing regulation changes:<ul>
 <li>The removal of the no-live-baitfish restriction will be recommended for Lake Wanahoo.</li><li>At Two Rivers State Recreation Area Lake No. 5, also known as the trout lake, a recommendation would shorten the time a trout tag is required to fish the lake by one month. It also would remove the tag display requirement and allow anglers to release any caught trout.</li>
 </ul>In addition, there will be staff recommendations to:<ul>
 <li>approve the transfer of approximately 88 acres of land in Hall County adjacent to Mormon Island SRA from the Federal Highway Administration to Game and Parks; and</li><li>approve permitting of hunting in some state parks and state historical parks for 2024 seasons.</li>

The night of March 7 was the evening that the area received a record snow of over 15 inches, 14.6 inches of that came over a 6-hour period, some portions of the area received closer to 20 inches of snow. At the KJ's Boots &amp; Western Wear store at the intersection of I-80 and the Hershey/Dickens road south of Hershey, all the snow that fell caused the business's roof to fail. Connie Kuhlmann (owner) said her husband Kevin had gone to the store on the afternoon of March 8 to clear their parking lot and scoop the walk when he went into the store around 5pm and realized part of the roof had collapsed.

A phone call went out from Kuhlmann at the time to friends and family, to rush to the store and try to get the inventory out of the building before a larger problem developed. Within an hour of the call, a dozen people showed up to help with trailers, moving dollies and manpower. Later a Facebook post for help went out on the local Hershey page, and within 15 minutes much of the community of Hershey came to the aide of the Kuhlmanns.

Nearly 3 months later, KJ's has reopened in North Platte in the old Sun-Mart building, now home to New Life Church, MEGA Gymnastics and CMH Interiors. Plans are still in the air for the old KJ's building in Hershey, but Connie Kuhlmann says "we hope to reopen in Hershey, but in the meantime North Platte has become our new home."

KJ's opened in North Platte on June 1, and is running a 20% off special through June 15th during the Buffalo Bill Rodeo, part of Nebraskaland Days. Store Hours 9m-6pm Monday-Saturday, 1-4pm on Sundays.&nbsp;
