Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department

Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department (SWNPHD) is encouraging everyone to review how they wash their hands. Keeping hands clean is one of the most important steps to take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. Many diseases and conditions are spread by not washing hands with soap and clean running water, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

You should wash your hands any time they are visibly dirty, and in the following situations: before, during, and after preparing food, before eating food, before and after caring for someone who is sick, before and after treating a cut or wound, after using the bathroom, after blowing your nose, after coughing or sneezing into your hands, after touching an animal, after handling pet food or pet treats, and after touching garbage.

Here is a reminder of the most effective way to wash your hands:

1) Wet your hands with warm water and add soap.

2) Rub your hands together, making sure to scrub all areas, keeping hands out of the water.

3) Scrub for a minimum of 20 seconds or sing/hum the&nbsp;Happy Birthday&nbsp;song twice.

4) Rinse thoroughly, then dry your hands on a clean towel.

5) Turn the faucet off with the towel, not your hand, to avoid picking up germs again.

Washing hands with soap and water is the best way to reduce the number of microbes on them in most situations. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. According to the CDC, hand sanitizers are not as effective when hands are visibly dirty or greasy.

SWNPHD can provide free handwashing lessons for children in daycare, kindergarten, first, second, third, and fourth grade this fall. Good handwashing skills can reduce the spread of illness and lower absentee rates.

SWNPHD also provides free handwashing posters on their website at swhealth.ne.gov and handwashing stickers are available for bathroom mirrors by stopping in or calling.

For more information or to schedule a handwashing demonstration, contact Paula at 308-345-4223. SWNPHD serves Chase, Dundy, Frontier, Furnas, Hayes, Hitchcock, Keith, Perkins, and Red Willow counties. SWNPHD is located at 404 West 10th (one block north of Arby’s) in McCook, 409 Broadway in Imperial and 418 North Spruce in Ogallala. Information can also be found on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

The Hot Sheets: October 11th, 2023

WHAT:&nbsp;A 43-foot-tall Golden Spike, similar to those ceremonially used to complete the transcontinental railroad in 1869, has been commissioned by the Golden Spike Foundation to honor the tens of thousands of railroad workers who built the transcontinental railroad.&nbsp; The public art piece will begin its ceremonial journey across the United States - traveling from Kentucky to Utah along portions of the original railway route making a series of “whistle stops” along the way.&nbsp;

As the truck carrying the Golden Spike Monument rolls into cities and towns across America, events will be held in partnership with schools, railroad stations, and railroad museums to display the 7,000-pound public art piece and educate and inspire people to learn from the past and honor the memory of the thousands of workers who built the transcontinental railroad.&nbsp; Special educational displays and presentations and more will be part of the tour stops.&nbsp; For those lucky enough to spot it, the flatbed truck carrying the Monument will be emblazoned with information to follow it along on its “Driving of the Spike” route.

Next spring, the Monument will be touring the transcontinental railroad’s route from the west before it is permanently installed at the Golden Spike Park at Reeder Ranch, in Box Elder County, Utah.

WHY:&nbsp;The Monument portrays the images of railroad workers in “bas-reliefs” along the four sides of the giant golden spike.&nbsp; According to the artist, Douwe Blumberg, the artwork is intended to “give faces to the faceless”&nbsp;and celebrate the building of the railroad from the perspective of those who contributed so much to the triumphant feat. These workers, many of whom were immigrants attracted by steady employment, did back-breaking work, made horrific sacrifices, and used ingenuity to make the railroad a reality.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Douwe Blumberg and his team spent the previous 28 months creating the Monument in his studio&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in rural Kentucky.&nbsp;

WHO:&nbsp;Until the transcontinental railroad’s 150th&nbsp;anniversary celebration in 2019, the complete story of the building of the railroad had gone largely untold. The contribution of the thousands of&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;workers had been ignored. The Golden Spike Foundation, who organized the Spike 150 celebration in Utah, wanted to set the record straight by telling the whole story.&nbsp; After the celebration, the foundation commissioned Douwe Blumberg to build the Golden Spike Monument as a way to continue telling this remarkable and relatable story through public art.

WHEN:&nbsp; The tour, which follows the route of the transcontinental railroad coming from the east, is as follows:&nbsp;

Golden Spike Monument Tour making a stop in North Platte

ELVIS IS IN THE BUILDING! Joseph Hall is thrilled to be bringing his Elvis Rock N Remember tribute show! This show is directed in such a manner that really shows the roots of Elvis but yet a fast pace show that will make it difficult for you to stay in your seat. It caters to both the young and the young at heart. He's got the look, the voice, the charm and the moves that take us back to a time when parents were flabbergasted by the flauntingly provocative hip action. 

In Hall's Elvis Rock N Remember show, he achieves a powerful flashback experience to the moment when fans fell in love with the talented, handsome, carefree, energetic, high spirited young man that is Elvis Presley. The show is masterfully produced with a mixture of Elvis hits from rock n roll, country, pop to gospel, multiple costume changes and a heartfelt tribute to our veterans. He's even got the teddy bears and scarves to woo the ladies.&nbsp; A must-see for all ages!&nbsp;

Joseph Hall, born in 1984 has been paying tribute to the legacy of Elvis Presley since 2006. He starred on NBC's America's Got Talent in 2008, making 6 TV appearances, viewed by more than 90 million people and placing as one of the top 10 finalists! Sharon Osbourne impressed enough to tell him, "I've got shoes older than you, but I'd like to try you on!" Also, Piers Morgan quoted saying, " ELVIS IS BACK!" Joseph Hall has performed all over the world! 

Joseph Hall has won accolades throughout his young career including the "Spirit of Elvis " award. Joseph Hall has worked with Elvis Presley Enterprises, Legends in Concert, and has officially been recognized as one of the top tribute artists in the world today. Hall says "My goal is to capture the essence of Elvis Presley, to pay tribute with the utmost respect to his legacy, his music, his image and above all else his fans.”&nbsp;

Elvis Tribute Show coming to the Fox Theatre in North Platte

On Saturday, Oct. 7th, 2023, at 10:03 a.m., The Dundy County Sheriff's Office received a report of a Semi/Train injury accident on River Road near Parks Nebraska. The investigation showed that the Semi, a 2006 International, drive by Jason Hilker of Cambridge Nebraska, failed to yield and was struck by a BNSF train hauling coal. The semi and trailer were then separated and the Semi then rolled onto its side.

The driver of the semi was transported to Dundy County Hospital by Dundy County EMS with non-life threatening injuries and then cited for failure to yield. The roadway was closed for approximately 10 hours until the train could be repaired enough to move freely.

The Dundy County Sheriff's Office was assisted by Benkelman Fire and Dundy County EMS and we would like to thank them for everything they did to assist at the scene.

Jacob Tolstedt has been selected as North Platte Community College’s Business Student of the Month for October.

Tolstedt graduated from Alliance High School in 1996. He currently lives in North Platte and chose to attend NPCC because it’s in his hometown.

“I have been surprised at how accepting the faculty, staff and younger students are to an older student going back to school,” Tolstedt said of his experience so far. “Faculty in the business department have been very helpful in guiding me toward reaching my goals.”

Business instructor Cathy Nutt nominated Tolstedt for the Student of the Month recognition.

“Jake is an exemplary student who is a joy to have in class,” said Nutt. “He is always prepared, willing to answer and ask questions and appreciates the opportunity to get his education. Jake is a non-traditional student who manages a full-time job and a family and is an active Boy Scout leader. Yet, he still manages to excel in his coursework. It is that dedication and commitment that makes him stand out as an excellent choice for Business Student of the Month.”&nbsp;

Tolstedt is studying business administration at NPCC. He’s on track to graduate in the spring of 2025.

“I hope to use what I am learning at Mid-Plains to further my career with Murphy Tractor where I have worked as a diesel technician for the last 16 years,” said Tolstedt.

When not in class, Tolstedt enjoys spending time with his wife, Amanda, and serves as a Scout leader for Pack/Troop 292 - a role he has had for the past 12 years.

On October 8, Lincoln County Deputies and North Platte Fire and Rescue were dispatched to an injury accident involving a motorcycle.&nbsp; Further information was that the motorcycle had crashed and exploded.&nbsp; The accident was near the 2700 block of North Airport Road.&nbsp; While enroute deputies were advised that there were two motorcycles involved in the crash.&nbsp;

When deputies arrived one driver had been transported and the second was receiving medical aid from EMS and was about to be transported.&nbsp; &nbsp;North Platte Fire was extinguishing the burning motorcycle and a small grass fire that was caused by the burning vehicle.&nbsp; Deputies could see debris from the crash scattered for nearly a ¼ mile to the south of the vehicles.&nbsp; Several witnesses and a video from a nearby house confirmed that the vehicles accelerated heavily after crossing the railroad tracks near highway 30.&nbsp;

For some reason the motorcycles contacted each other at a very high rate of speed and crashed.&nbsp; &nbsp;The drivers were identified as 23-year-old Travis Roberts and 21-year-old Trevin Jeffs, both of North Platte.&nbsp; When deputies arrived at the hospital, both drivers were heavily sedated and receiving emergency care.&nbsp; A test for alcohol was not possible.&nbsp; Both drivers have many broken bones, and one driver will likely lose his leg.&nbsp;

Cozad Chamber of Commerce Open House

The Robert Henri Museum and Art Gallery in Cozad, Nebraska is pleased to announce that it is about to embark on a momentous new chapter in the museum’s long and storied history. The project will take the institution to an even higher level and&nbsp;make it a national center for preserving and promoting the art and legacy of Robert Henri.

The museum has been making steady progress for almost forty years as it first preserved Henri’s boyhood home in the 1980s, and then constructed a nine-hundred square foot gallery to house its growing collection of his art in 2014.&nbsp;&nbsp;

First, the former American Legion building (to the north of&nbsp; the current gallery), will be demolished beginning on November 1,&nbsp; 2023. Unfortunately, it was beyond rehabilitation. Construction&nbsp; will then begin, and the current timeline is to open the new gallery&nbsp; on September 15, 2024, subject to the challenges of weather&nbsp; conditions and any other unforeseen delays of course.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The new gallery will be about five thousand square feet in size. It will allow the museum to geometrically expand our collection from our current seventeen paintings to more than thirty paintings. This new building will include state of the art climate control, fire protection, and security systems along with educational and exhibition space. It will include an outdoor patio area, gift shop, office and a serving kitchen.

The $3.5 million expansion will be paid for by grants, contributions and a&nbsp; very generous donation and matching commitment from patrons Larry and&nbsp; Tammy Paulsen of $2 million. Larry and Tammy have made the display of much&nbsp; of the artwork and exhibitions in our gallery possible through donations and&nbsp; loans. Larry’s mother, Shirley Paulsen, was one of the founders of our museum&nbsp; in the early 1980s.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Our current gallery will be converted into a new library and archives&nbsp; building as it is climate controlled and has a sophisticated security system. Once&nbsp; the interior of the new building is completed, we will begin to move our current&nbsp; collection of paintings and sketches to their new home. At the present time we&nbsp; are beginning to conduct research and design the new exhibits.&nbsp;

Donations can made by going to the museum’s website or mailing them to&nbsp; the museum directly and are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. We will&nbsp; provide regular updates as to our progress on our Facebook and web pages.&nbsp;

The Robert Henri Museum and Art Gallery is a national treasure that is&nbsp; the result of the work of many volunteers, board members and professional staff&nbsp; who have toiled for more than thirty years. The effort to preserve Robert Henri’s&nbsp; legacy in Cozad started with a small group of people who saw the opportunity to&nbsp; bring recognition to the town that was once home to the acclaimed artist and&nbsp; native son, Robert Henri (Robert Henry Cozad). This group, led by Shirley&nbsp; Paulsen, bought and restored the former Hendee Hotel, Henri’s boyhood home.&nbsp;&nbsp;

With local support and generous donations from Cozad and Henri family&nbsp; members, and donors from across the United States, the Robert Henri Museum&nbsp; and Art Gallery’s collection continues to grow. The first Henri painting donated&nbsp; to the museum in 1988 was Portrait of Queen Mariana.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Since then, numerous donations and loans of Henri works have been made. In 2014, a climate-controlled art gallery was built to display the collection. Today the Art Gallery houses the largest display of Robert Henri works, or those attributed to him, in the United States. The museum and art gallery are located at 218 East 8th Street in Cozad and is open from May 1 to November 1 on Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information about the museum call 308-784-4154 or visit the museum’s web page at&nbsp; www.roberthenrimuseum.org.

Museum Announces Plans for a New Art Gallery

Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department (SWNPHD) recommends getting regularly scheduled cancer screenings to raise the chances of early detection and make treatments easier and less expensive. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to raise awareness about the impact of breast cancer, and a good time to discuss screening with your doctor.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each year in the United States, about 255,000 women get breast cancer and 42,000 women die from the disease.

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except for skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in U.S. women and remains the second leading cause of cancer death among women.

When breast cancer is detected early, and is detected in the localized stage, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%. Early detection comes from scheduling regular clinical breast exams and mammograms. Women should talk with their doctors about when to start and how often they should have mammograms.

The National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) funds state programs to provide free breast and cervical cancer screening programs for medically underserved women. The Every Woman Matters program in Nebraska will pay for screenings for women who are uninsured and meet income requirements.

There are other things you can do to lower your risk of breast cancer including:

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Eating fruit and vegetables.

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Doing regular physical activity.

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Decreasing alcohol intake.

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prioritizing relaxation and getting enough sleep.

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Understanding your risk factors and talking with your doctor.

The Hot Sheets: October 8th, 2023

Lincoln, NE – October 6, 2023 – The Powerball jackpot has been growing since July without a winner. Because of the high jackpot, the Nebraska Lottery reminds customers to play responsibly.

The Powerball jackpot starts at $20 million and continues to grow each drawing until it is won. There have been 33 consecutive Powerball drawings since July 22 without a jackpot winner. This run has grown the estimated jackpot for the Saturday, October 7 drawing to $1.4 billion or $614 million with the cash option selected. This is the 3rd largest jackpot in the history of the game.

This jackpot run has produced five big Powerball winners in Nebraska.

The largest Powerball jackpot on record occurred in November 2022 when one winner in California won a $2.04 billion jackpot.

Ten jackpots ranging from $2.5 million to $365 million have been won in Nebraska since the Nebraska Lottery began offering Powerball in July of 1994. The largest Powerball jackpot won in Nebraska occurred in February 2006 when a group of eight coworkers at the ConAgra Foods ham and corned beef plant in Lincoln split a $365 million jackpot.

Because of the high Powerball jackpot, the Nebraska Lottery encourages customers to play within their means. “It’s important for Nebraska Lottery players to remember that no matter how large the jackpot is, the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million,” said Lottery Director Brian Rockey. “Your odds of winning remain the same, regardless of how many tickets are purchased or how many people play.” If you or someone you know has a problem with compulsive gambling, free help is available at&nbsp;<a href="http://problemgambling.nebraska.gov/" target="_blank">problemgambling.nebraska.gov</a>.
