OGALLALA, Neb. — Mid-Plains Community College’s Ogallala campus is welcoming students this fall with a variety of classes and special programs, including late-start options and unique educational opportunities, college officials said Wednesday.

Jenny Soper, director of the Ogallala campus, said classes are in full swing, but students who missed the traditional August registration still have options. The college is offering 12-week courses beginning Sept. 15, providing a chance for high school students to earn dual credit—college and high school credit simultaneously—at no tuition cost.

“These classes give students a head start on the credits they’ll need for any degree path,” Soper said. “You only have to pay for books, and many courses are fully online now, so there’s flexibility for everyone.”

Among the classes available are English composition, college algebra, American government, and sociology. Soper emphasized the advantage of completing required courses while still in high school.

In addition to core academic offerings, the campus is hosting a conversational Spanish class. The 12-week course, led by an instructor based in Perkins County, meets weekly on Tuesdays from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Perkins County High School. Enrollment remains open at $129, including a textbook, despite a pre-registration deadline.

The campus is also providing educational workshops for the wider community. In October, State Trooper Templet will conduct three free classes covering topics such as anti-bullying strategies and recognizing the symptoms of drug and alcohol abuse. Soper said the sessions are designed for parents and community members who want to stay informed about pressing social issues.

“Whether it’s students looking to get ahead in their coursework or parents seeking educational resources, we encourage everyone to reach out,” Soper said. “Our staff is always available, and information is easy to find on our website or by visiting the campus.”

The Ogallala campus continues to highlight opportunities that combine convenience, accessibility, and practical learning experiences for both students and community members.

No Injuries Reported After Shots Fired Call in Sidney; Suspect in Custody

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — North Platte firefighter Jeremy Condon stepped back into the spotlight for the first time in nearly two decades — and walked away with top honors at the Nebraska State Fair’s Galaxy of the Stars competition.

Condon swept the event, earning the Novas Award, Shining Star Award, Superstar Award, and the Overall Vocal Performance title. That top prize includes a Nashville recording contract valued at $4,500 and a $250 cash award.

For Condon, the moment was both surreal and emotional. He told the audience that his journey back to music only began this summer after encouragement from his fellow firefighters.

“I really did when I got married, I gave music up,” Condon said. “I stopped touring, I stopped playing the gigs, and I just focused on my family and focused on serving my community. And so when this opportunity came, it was my guys kind of daring me to do it.”

His return to performing started at the You Can Be a Star qualifier at the Lincoln County Fair in July, where he won after taking the stage for the first time in 16 or 17 years.

“That’s the first time I’d ever performed on a stage since I’d gotten married,” he said. “This is the first time I’ve performed since then, and so it’s all just kind of a bit overwhelming.”

Condon also used his time on stage to recognize the talent around him, pointing out the dancers, singers, and musicians who shared the competition. “Holy cow, I wasn’t kidding when I said there’s some talent in this room,” he said. “So much talent, so much talent. Thank you very much. I’m absolutely humbled.”

For Condon, who spends his days protecting and serving his community, the awards represent more than a trophy or contract. They mark a return to a passion that had been put on hold for nearly two decades — and a reminder that it’s never too late to follow a dream.

The Hot Sheets: September 3, 2025

OMAHA, Neb. (Sept. 1, 2025) — The Nebraska State Patrol is reminding Husker fans that safety should be part of their gameday plan.

Colonel Bryan Waugh, of NSP, will announce the effort during a media event at 10 a.m. Tuesday at the NSP Troop A office, 4411 S. 108th St. in Omaha. The campaign will feature troopers from across the state, who will take part in events leading up to the delivery of the Huskers’ game ball to Memorial Stadium ahead of Saturday’s home opener against Akron.

The effort is designed to encourage safe travel to and from Lincoln on game days, with reminders for fans to drive sober, buckle up and stay alert on crowded roadways. 

This is also a good reminder that safety extends beyond the stadium and in Lincoln. Whether traveling to the game, gathering with friends or attending a large watch party, state patrol leaders say fans safety should be forefront. 

Nebraska enters Saturday's game following a 20-17 victory over Cincinnati in its season opener Aug. 28 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. 

The game ball handoff is expected to highlight both statewide teamwork among troopers and the importance of planning ahead so fans can enjoy the game safely.

The game ball will travel across all six NSP troop areas, starting in Omaha and finishing in Lincoln. Fans can follow the game ball’s trip around the state on NSP’s social media pages.

LEWELLEN, Neb. — Riders will saddle up at Ash Hollow State Historical Park on Sept. 6 for the Velvet Spurs’ annual horseback poker run, a fundraiser for the Friends of Ash Hollow.

The family-friendly event begins at 10 a.m. Mountain Time, with registration at the park’s main entrance. Riders will travel trails through the historic landmark, stopping at stations to collect poker cards. Prizes will be awarded for the top three hands, along with the worst hand.

“It’s very family-friendly. There’s no time event on it, so you don’t have to speed,” said Velvet Spurs President Jean Tobiasson. “You can take your time, enjoy looking at the wildlife and the history up there, and just bring the whole family.”

The event, now in its third year, will feature some newly mapped trails, including a lookout point offering views of Lake McConaughy. The ride is $10 per participant, with entry available the day of the event.

Following the ride, participants are invited to a potluck dinner. The Velvet Spurs will provide sloppy joes and tableware, and riders are asked to bring a salad or dessert.

If inclement weather forces a postponement, the event will be rescheduled for Sept. 20.

Ash Hollow, located at the west end of Lake McConaughy, holds deep historical significance as a Native American buffalo jump site and features preserved cultural landmarks.

For more information, riders may contact Tobiasson or register on-site the morning of the ride.

🎙️ Velvet Spurs set Sept. 6 horseback poker run at Ash Hollow

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — Battle of the Badges returns for the 16th annual event Sept. 10 at Venue 304 in North Platte.&nbsp;

The annual blood drive will take place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. &nbsp;

Donors will cast a vote for Team Red (fire and EMS) or Team Blue (law enforcement). The agency with the most votes will claim bragging rights for the year and be added to a traveling plaque.&nbsp;

The event was first organized in Lincoln County to honor first responders killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Since then, it has grown into a community tradition. In the past 15 years, more than 1,300 units of blood have been donated.&nbsp;

“This is about honoring service while also meeting a real community need,” the Red Cross said. “Every pint of blood donated can help save up to three lives.”&nbsp;

This year's donors will receive a commemorative Battle of the Badges T-shirt or a limited-edition Red Cross PEANUTS mystery T-shirt, along with a meal.&nbsp;

The Red Cross said all blood types are needed to ensure a stable supply for patients. Donors must be at least 17 years old in most states (16 with parental consent, depending on state law), weigh a minimum of 110 pounds and be in generally good health. High school students and other donors age 18 and younger must also meet certain height and weight requirements.&nbsp;

To schedule an appointment, donors can use the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit <a href="http://redcrossblood.org/" target="_blank">RedCrossBlood.org</a> or call 1-800-RED CROSS. Donors are asked to enter sponsor code “NPbattleofbadges” to register for the event. RapidPass, an online tool available at <a href="http://redcrossblood.org/RapidPass" target="_blank">RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass</a>, can also be used to complete pre-donation reading and health history questions to save time on donation day.&nbsp;

The Battle of the Badges is one of several community blood drives held each year in Nebraska. The Red Cross supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood and relies on volunteers and donors to help maintain hospital inventories.&nbsp;

KEARNEY, Neb.&nbsp;— A small plane crash claims two lives northeast of Kearney late Wednesday.&nbsp;

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it lost contact with the aircraft about 9:30 p.m. as the plane was headed toward Kearney Regional Airport. Its last recorded position placed it several miles north of the runway.&nbsp;

Search teams from multiple agencies scoured the area overnight using drones, patrol vehicles and utility terrain vehicles (UTV’s). Heavy fog forced crews to pause the operation in the early morning hours at 2 a.m. before resuming at daybreak. The wreckage was located around 10 a.m. Thursday.&nbsp;

Both the pilot and passenger died at the crash site.&nbsp;The victims are Dr. Mark H. Meyer, 77, and Kent O. Magnuson, 72, both residents of rural Kearney, Nebraska.

Flight data indicated the plane departed from an airfield near Terrace, Minnesota, on Wednesday evening around 7 p.m. &nbsp;

LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska drivers will face higher penalties for speeding beginning Sept. 3, under a new law aimed at curbing a surge in extreme speeding across the state.

The measure, LB530, raises fines for speeding violations and authorizes the Nebraska Department of Transportation to impose temporary, reduced speed limits on interstates such as I-80 during poor weather, emergencies or traffic congestion.

Under the new law, fines will increase as follows:
— 1–5 mph over the limit: $50 (up from $10)
— 6–9 mph over: $75 (up from $25)
— 10–14 mph over: $125 (up from $75)
