Columbus, Neb. – As winter approaches, Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) wants to remind people of the dangers of downed powerlines.

 Winter storms can bring a few different threats to powerlines including galloping, downed, and floating wires. Galloping wires occur when high winds force two adjacent power lines to hit each other, which may cause an outage. Floating wires consist of power lines that have been broken and are blowing in the wind or are not long enough to contact the ground. 

“If anyone comes upon a powerline down on the ground or blowing in the wind, they should stay clear of the area and notify their local power provider immediately,” says NPPD Vice President of Energy Delivery Art Wiese. “Broken power lines can have an electrical charge and are very dangerous if not handled professionally. They not only carry an electrical charge but can electrically charge any objects they are touching or even the ground around where a broken powerline is laying.” 

If a broken powerline is lying across a roadway, motorists should not try to drive over the line or move it from the roadway. This could result in serious injury. If a powerline were to fall on top of a driver’s vehicle, the occupants should remain inside, call for help, and wait for a professional to deenergize the line. If the occupants are forced to leave the vehicle because of a fire or other emergency, get to the edge of your vehicle and jump away from the vehicle, landing on two feet and never touching the ground and vehicle at the same time. Then shuffle your feet to move away from the area. 

Some residents may want to use a generator or grill to power their house or cook during a power outage. These should never be run or operated in an enclosed area, such as a garage, to avoid any potential for carbon monoxide poisoning. If having a generator installed, make sure it is done by a licensed professional to ensure its safe operation. 

NPPD customers can call 1-877-ASK-NPPD or go to <a href="http://NPPD.com">NPPD.com</a> to report an outage or damaged power line.

By&nbsp;Kerri Rempp,&nbsp;Discover Northwest Nebraska Director

CHADRON – Northwest Nebraska is full of old-fashioned Christmas spirit!

From shopping events that feature unique gift items for your loved ones to fun decorating opportunities and family-friendly events, Northwest Nebraska is a great place to spend the holidays. Discover Northwest Nebraska and the Chadron and Crawford Chambers of Commerce, along with several local businesses, are excited to promote a variety of holiday events this Thanksgiving and Christmas season.

“Christmas is about pictures and memories,” said Mike Kesselring of Chadrad Communications, one of the businesses involved in the marketing effort. “As we have drawn from the Northwest Nebraska Christmas celebrations and get-togethers and collected them under the banner of ‘A Country Christmas,’ it has been with that in mind.”

Events kicked off Nov. 12 with unique shopping opportunities in the Pine Bough Bazaar and the City S’liquors Fall Craft &amp; Vendor Market. Other shopping occasions include Shop Hometown Harrison Nov. 19-20, the Kris Kringle XMAS Boutique Dec. 4 and the Sandoz Center Art Show &amp; Sale, featuring live music, Dec. 3-4. Shop Small Saturday is Nov. 27, and the organizations involved with ‘A Country Christmas’ urge residents and visitors to patronize local businesses in Harrison, Crawford and Chadron.

Fun family activities range from the SWAG Greenery workshop to two parades, community tree lightings, a Christmas Cruise and some old-fashioned Christmas cartoons. Santa will make multiple appearances in Northwest Nebraska during ‘A Country Christmas’ as well, with his first-slated arrival Nov. 27 at The New Leaf.

Businesses, organizations and individuals can also help create the ‘Country Christmas’ winter wonderland with several decorating events. The annual Festival of Trees at the Dawes County Courthouse returns after a COVID-hiatus last year; or those interested can Deck the Lawn at the Courthouse by setting up an outdoor scene in the courtyard.

“We are anxious and excited to see the outcome of joining forces with so many entities in Northwest Nebraska to pull off a well-rounded ‘Country Christmas’ for our community and surrounding area. With something for all demographics to enjoy during the holiday season, we are thrilled to continue adding the Christmas cheer and holiday spirit while serving the community and our members the best way we can,” said Chadron Chamber Director Gabby Michna.

You can find the full schedule for ‘A Country Christmas’ at <a href="http://discovernwnebraska.com/a-country-christmas">http://discovernwnebraska.com/a-country-christmas</a>.

Registration forms for Festival of Trees (also available at the Chadron Chamber) and the Chadron Parade of Lights (also available at KCSR) can also be downloaded from the site.

🔊Post Podcast: Upper Niobrara White NRD's Tricia Goes 

By MOLLY LANGHORST, CSC COLLEGE RELATIONS

CHADRON - Chadron State College student Janessa Carley is the Project Strive/TRiO Student of the Month for November. Carley, a junior from Dalton, Nebraska, said she chose Chadron State College because she loves the feeling of being in a small town. Carley went to a small school where she said all the teachers knew her first name, and she chose CSC in part because she wanted her college professors to know her on a personal level, as well.

Carley is a Business Administration major pursuing three options: Accounting, Finance, and Agribusiness. Carley said she has liked working with numbers as long as she can remember so she especially enjoys accounting. She grew up around agriculture and enjoys an ag-based community, so she chose agribusiness.

In May, Carley will graduate with a bachelor’s degree and plans to begin working on an MBA with a focus in accounting, also at CSC. After graduating with her master’s, Carley plans to become a Certified Public Accountant.

Carley is a member of Xi Delta Zeta, the Rural Business Leadership Initiative, Student Alumni Council, and The Big Event Staff.

Being active in campus clubs is a priority for Carley. She believes being a part of the community and helping others is important.

“As a student who participates in many clubs, it has been a wonderful experience finding others who share the same passion as I do for Chadron State. Being a member of The Big Event staff for two years has allowed me to see this love, not only in the students, but throughout the entire community,” Carley said.

Associate Professor of Music Dr. John Wojcik enjoys the effort Carley displays as a member of the CSC Wind Symphony.

“It has been a pleasure having Janessa in the CSC Wind Symphony as a member of the clarinet section. She is a dedicated member of the ensemble and is an excellent role model for her peer musicians,” Wojcik said.

TRiO Retention Specialist Amanda Lewin appreciates Carley’s efforts in Project Strive.

“The award recognizes students who are diligent, hardworking, and active in the program and on campus. Janessa embodies all of these traits. She has been an active member of Project Strive the past three years and has helped with and attended many activities and events,” Lewin said.

Lewin said when Carley was asked to help create an activity sponsored by Residence Life Association and Project Strive, she immediately came up with an idea and plan.

“Janessa has proven herself to be an individual with strong leadership skills, which she has shown not only through her time with Project Strive, but with her academic studies and campus involvement. I have enjoyed working with Janessa and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for her,” Lewin said.

When Carley is not in class or participating in an activity on campus, she fills her free time with crocheting and playing the clarinet. She learned to enjoy the clarinet in high school and found her passion for crocheting at a young age after a cousin taught her.

Chadron State College’s Project Strive/TRiO program, located in the lower level of the King Library, is an academic enrichment program committed to help students succeed. Project Strive also focuses on career exploration, cultural and social enrichment and self-awareness. To be eligible for the program, a student must be one of the following: A first generation student where neither parent has a four-year degree, meet low income status based on U.S. Department of Health and Human Services criteria, or have a documented disability.

Panhandle police activity, Nov. 18 - Nov. 23

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The number of criminal cases that have been dismissed because of the theft of $1.2 million worth of drugs from the Nebraska State Patrol evidence room has grown to nearly 100. 

The Lincoln Journal-Star reports that prosecutors in Lincoln have dropped another 33 felony cases, adding to the 66 dismissals that occurred before the end of October.

 And more could be coming as 13 other counties in the region undertake reviews. 

On Sept. 24, Lincoln Police and the head of the Nebraska State Patrol, Col. John Bolduc, announced the arrest of a former State Patrol evidence technician, Anna Idigima, who they alleged conspired with her boyfriend, George Weaver Jr., to sell drugs stolen from the evidence room.

The US Department of Agriculture announced recently that there would be an increase in the amount received in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, SNAP, formerly called Food Stamps. This increase became effective in October and was based on the re-evaluation of what should be included in the Thrifty Food Plan.

For a single person this increase would be $16 for a maximum benefit of $250. For a household of four, an increase of $53 brings the SNAP benefit to $835. SNAP amounts had been temporarily increased under the CARES Act, but those have ended. These changes are permanent, and they are recalculated every June based on the rate of inflation. Benefit amounts then change every October.

USDA calculates the Thrifty Food Plan using a mathematical model based on the cost of food, the nutrients in food, nutrition guidance and what Americans eat. The Thrifty Food Plan was examined earlier this year, and the groceries that go into it were changed for the first time in 45 years. It better aligns with dietary guidance, reflects what Americans buy and eat, supports a healthy, active lifestyle, and can be purchased with a limited food budget.

What can be purchased with SNAP benefits? Any food for the household: Fruits and vegetables; Meat, poultry, and fish; Dairy products; Breads and cereals; Other foods such as snack foods and non-alcoholic beverages; and Seeds and plants, which produce food for the household to eat.

Households CANNOT use SNAP benefits to buy Beer, wine, liquor, cigarettes, or tobacco; Vitamins, medicines, and supplements; Live animals; Foods that are hot at the point of sale; Any nonfood items such as pet food, cleaning supplies, paper products, other household supplies, hygiene items, or cosmetics.

Is your household eligible for SNAP? Given the way costs are rising right now, especially for groceries, it may be worthwhile to check.

There are three ways to apply: paper application, online, or by phone. You will be asked about all your expenses, like rent or mortgage payments, taxes, utilities. You also have to report your assets, like property owned, bank accounts, investments. Pick up a paper application at 411 Black Hills Avenue. Fill out an online application at the website of the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS): www.ACCESSNebraska.ne.gov. Or phone the DHHS Customer Service Center: 1-800-383-4278. You can get assistance with completing the application through the DHHS Customer Service Center or Northwest Community Action Partnership: 308-430-0843. By calling and using a qualified professional, you are much more likely to be approved.

Poverty In Our Area: SNAP benefits increase

(AP) - The U.S. is in better shape approaching its second Thanksgiving of the pandemic, thanks to the vaccine. But some cold weather regions are reporting surges of COVID-19 cases that could get worse in the days ahead as families travel the country. 

Nearly 200 million Americans are fully vaccinated. 

That leaves millions without a shot in the arm. 

Hospitals in the cold Upper Midwest, especially Michigan and Minnesota, are filled with COVID-19 patients who are mostly unvaccinated.

 Dr. Rochelle Walensky of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says vaccines make this fall holiday much different.

Vaccines making Thanksgiving easier, but hot spots remain

I love Thanksgiving. I love preparing the food all day and enjoying it while sitting around a table with some of the people I love most. And there is one holiday tradition that I have grown to adore. As we sit down to eat, we share one thing we feel grateful for this year.

Practicing gratitude has been shown to improve aspects of mental health and our sense of well-being, and it isn’t hard to understand why. Saying or thinking “I am grateful for…” feels really good and doing so regularly can help shape our outlook on the world and our place in it. I know this, and still, I fail to follow through with regularly practicing gratitude like some experts recommend.

There is no time like the present, right? Let’s try it. Here are some things this Prairie Doc is feeling particularly thankful for this year:

I am thankful for my health, thankful to be alive. As I grow older, and as I continue to walk with my patients as they encounter disease and sometimes death, the simple wonder of being alive and feeling well has never felt so clear. None of us will avert death but feeling gratitude for life does make each day a little sweeter.

I am grateful for my family and friends who have sustained me through difficult times and shared in my joy. I am on the receiving end of hugs, snuggles, and the hilarious and warm actions of my children, who give me laughter and hope every day.

I am incredibly grateful to be a physician. I feel fortunate to have a profession that gives me meaning and connects me to people and my community. I am indebted to my colleagues and mentors, including my Prairie Doc cohorts and the original Prairie Doc, Rick Holm, who generously shared so much with me about being a physician.

There. That felt good. I hope you’ll try it too, around the Thanksgiving table, privately in a journal, or however it works for you. Let’s make a habit of practicing gratitude.

&nbsp; SAN JUAN, P.R. -- November 26, 2021 -- The Chadron State College men's basketball team trailed only once, after the opening basket of the game, and it led by as many as 28 with three minutes remaining in an 81-57 win over the University of Puerto Rico-Carolina on Friday in San Juan. Playing with a vastly depleted roster, the Eagles built a 43-24 lead at the half on 15 first half Jaguars turnovers. UPRC then went on a 21-8 run in the early minutes after the break, but under 12 minutes, the Jags went cold and only hit a couple of field goals the rest of the game. "Our focus kind of waned in the second half," said CSC Head Men's Basketball Coach&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/coaches.aspx?rc=551">Shane Paben</a>. "When we lose focus, we don't end up playing our defense. It was the first time in 25 years I didn't have the chance to see someone play or look at a roster. We just said, 'instead of worrying about them, we have to take care of ourselves, and worry about our offense and our defense.'" CSC shot 43 percent from the field, going 28-of-65, but it also hit 10 of its 25 three point attempts to shoot 40 percent from beyond the arc. They were only 15 of 28 from the foul line. The Eagles also outrebounded the Jaguars by nine, pulling down 45 boards to the opponent's 36. Sixteen of CSC's rebounds came on the offensive glass. Chadron State scored 23 of its points off turnovers. The leading scorer for CSC was&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4654">Teddy Parham, Jr.</a>, with 15 points on 5-of-8 shooting including 3-of-5 from downtown. He also came one board shy of a double-double, leading the team with nine rebounds. <a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4653">Marcus Jefferson</a>&nbsp;contributed 13 points, hitting three from long range, and he handed out a team-high five assists. <a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8012">Taj Toney</a>&nbsp;scored 11 and grabbed eight rebounds, while&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4652">KJ Harris</a>&nbsp;hit two three-pointers to finish with 10 points and six boards. "The opponent tomorrow is going to be vastly improved," said Paben. They probably should have beaten Adams State today. We really need to prepare ourselves, and the nice thing is, we did get to scout them today." CSC plays University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras, an NCAA Division II independent which features a high scorer named Adrian Ocasio, who lit up Adams State in the morning session for 27 points in 23 minutes. Paben noted Ocasio might win conference Player of the Year in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

"Our focus kind of waned in the second half," said CSC Head Men's Basketball Coach&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/coaches.aspx?rc=551">Shane Paben</a>. "When we lose focus, we don't end up playing our defense. It was the first time in 25 years I didn't have the chance to see someone play or look at a roster. We just said, 'instead of worrying about them, we have to take care of ourselves, and worry about our offense and our defense.'" CSC shot 43 percent from the field, going 28-of-65, but it also hit 10 of its 25 three point attempts to shoot 40 percent from beyond the arc. They were only 15 of 28 from the foul line. The Eagles also outrebounded the Jaguars by nine, pulling down 45 boards to the opponent's 36. Sixteen of CSC's rebounds came on the offensive glass. Chadron State scored 23 of its points off turnovers. The leading scorer for CSC was&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4654">Teddy Parham, Jr.</a>, with 15 points on 5-of-8 shooting including 3-of-5 from downtown. He also came one board shy of a double-double, leading the team with nine rebounds. <a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4653">Marcus Jefferson</a>&nbsp;contributed 13 points, hitting three from long range, and he handed out a team-high five assists. <a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8012">Taj Toney</a>&nbsp;scored 11 and grabbed eight rebounds, while&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4652">KJ Harris</a>&nbsp;hit two three-pointers to finish with 10 points and six boards. "The opponent tomorrow is going to be vastly improved," said Paben. They probably should have beaten Adams State today. We really need to prepare ourselves, and the nice thing is, we did get to scout them today." CSC plays University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras, an NCAA Division II independent which features a high scorer named Adrian Ocasio, who lit up Adams State in the morning session for 27 points in 23 minutes. Paben noted Ocasio might win conference Player of the Year in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

&nbsp;The Chadron State College women's basketball team (1-3, 0-0 RMAC) earned their first victory of the season Sunday&nbsp;afternoon&nbsp;over NAIA opponent Mount Marty (0-6,&nbsp;0-0 GPAC).&nbsp;

With a final score of 68-48, the Eagles&nbsp;snapped their&nbsp;17-game losing&nbsp;streak which spanned back to the end of the 2019-20 season. They will be looking to add more wins to their record&nbsp;this season with RMAC conference play right around the corner.&nbsp;

The Lancers and the Eagles&nbsp;kept the score tight in the first half,&nbsp;which finished&nbsp;29-24&nbsp;Eagles.&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7871">Jori Peters</a>&nbsp;had&nbsp;two deep three-pointers&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7873">Ashayla Powers</a>&nbsp;landed two jump shots in the paint&nbsp;in the first quarter.&nbsp;In the second quarter,&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7865">Bailey Brooks</a>&nbsp;put up two field goals, three rebounds, and&nbsp;a steal.&nbsp;Though the Lancers briefly held the lead at 15-14&nbsp;late in the first quarter,&nbsp;the Eagles&nbsp;took&nbsp;it right back and never gave it up for the rest of the game&nbsp;

The Eagles' offense turned on the jets in the second half by outscoring Mount Marty 39-24.&nbsp;They shot best in the fourth quarter, going 41.2% on field goals (7-17), 40% on three-pointers (2-5), and 83.3% on free throws (5-6)&nbsp;

The Eagles shot 35.4% on field goals (23-65), 29.2% on three-pointers (7-24), and 68.2% on free throws (15-22) while the Lancers shot 26.8% on field goals (15-56), 27.3% on three-pointers (6-22) and 70.6% on&nbsp;free throws (12-17)&nbsp;

Leading the Eagles to their victory was senior guard&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7871">Jori Peters</a>. Peters accounted for team-highs of 22 points, eight field goals, four three-pointers,&nbsp;five assists, and three steals. She went 2-4 on free throws and spent 34 total minutes on the court.&nbsp;

"The team has been working&nbsp;hard to&nbsp;improve and we&nbsp;showed&nbsp;tonight that we have taken a step forward," said Head Coach&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/coaches.aspx?rc=524">Janet Raymer</a>. "It was really nice to play at home."&nbsp;

Chadron State will travel&nbsp;Monday&nbsp;to Laramie Wyo. for an exhibition game against the Wyoming&nbsp;Cowgirls&nbsp;at 6:30 p.m. They will wrap up non-conference play&nbsp;when they travel to Kearney, Neb. to take on&nbsp;the Lopers&nbsp;(3-1, 0-0 MIAA) Saturday afternoon.&nbsp;

Peters leads CSC women to 20 point victory Sunday

&nbsp; CHADRON, Neb. -- November 21, 2021 --&nbsp;The Chadron State College men's basketball team broke into the win column in a big way Sunday evening, defeating Haskell Indian Nations from Lawrence, Kan., 118-64 in the Chicoine Center in Chadron. As the score would suggest, the Eagles were hot. They made 48 of 77 field goal shots for 62.3%, including a school record 18 three-pointers in 41 attempts. They also shared the basketball well, setting a CSC record for most assists with 35 and had seven players score in double-figures for what is believed to be the first time in school history. The old record of 29 assists had been reached three times, most recently in 1999-2000. Twice before the CSC men had buried 17 treys. This was the first time the Eagles have scored more than 100 points in a winning cause since they downed New Mexico Highlands 104-87 in 2009-10. They also exceeded 100 points versus Highlands in January 2020, but lost that game to the Cowboys 109-101 in overtime. Although the Eagles' first basket was a layup, their next five were three-pointers while they built a 17-2 lead in the opening four minutes.&nbsp; They led 26-6 midway in the first half, were ahead 53-27 at halftime and outscored the visitors 65-37 in the second half. Guard&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7854">Marcus Jefferson</a>&nbsp;led the Eagles with 21 points on eight-of-nine shooting from the field, including five-of-six from long range.&nbsp; He also had eight rebounds and six assists. Close behind in scoring was freshman&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8007">Beau Bragg</a>, who was eight-of-nine from the field while tallying 19 points.&nbsp; The others in double digits were&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7850">Brady Delimont</a>, 15; Taj-Maal Toney, 13;&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7851">Gage Delimont</a>, 12; and Teddy Parham and&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7855">CJ Jennings</a>&nbsp;with 11 apiece. Parham handed out 11 assists and claimed eight rebounds to share game-high honors with Jennings. &nbsp; Haskell's only double-figure scorer was freshman Trey Gaines with 12.&nbsp; The visitors were 23-63 from the field for 43.4%, including 9 of 30 on treys.&nbsp; Chadron State outrebounded them 41-21, and had just nine turnovers while Haskell had 23. Haskell entered the game with 2-5 record and also lost an exhibition game to Oral Roberts University in Tulsa 89-46 last Thursday night. The Eagles, now 1-4 for the season, while play their next three games in Puerto Rico this Friday, Saturday and Sunday before opening their Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference schedule on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 3-4 by hosting Fort Lewis and Western Colorado.&nbsp;&nbsp;
