Lincoln – Stephanie Schwaderer of Alliance won $262,000 playing Nebraska Pick 5 from the Nebraska Lottery.

Schwaderer purchased her ticket at J &amp; J’s Pit Stop at 1308 W 3rd Street in Alliance. The ticket contained one play for the March 4 drawing with the winning numbers 12, 21, 22, 24 and 27.

When she saw what appeared to be her winning numbers drawn, Schwaderer said she didn’t believe it.

“I initially thought it was some sick cosmic joke,” she said. “I scanned it with the app on my phone and started yelling, ‘We just won the lottery.’”

She and her husband John drove back into town to scan the ticket at a convenience store to make sure they were seeing it right. They got confirmation and Schwaderer signed her ticket, wrapped it in a $2 bill and tucked the ticket into her wallet.

Schwaderer said they’ll be using their winnings to pay off their farm and to build a bakery where she’ll make breads, cinnamon rolls, muffins and more.

After the realization set in that she’d won, Schwaderer said it was an amazing feeling.

“I kind of freaked out,” she said. “Then I just vibrated for like 36 hours.”

Nebraska Pick 5 is Nebraska’s unique Lottery game: all the proceeds from Nebraska Pick 5 stay in Nebraska, and all the winning tickets are sold in Nebraska at Nebraska Lottery Lotto game retailers. The odds of winning the Nebraska Pick 5 jackpot, which starts at $50,000 and grows by $4,000 each drawing that is not won, are 1 in 501,942 while the overall odds of winning a prize in the game, which has drawings seven nights a week, are 1 in 8.

The mission of the Nebraska Lottery is to generate proceeds for good causes while providing quality entertainment options to Nebraskans. Over $803 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.

The Yonts Water Conference is an opportunity for farmers, landowners, and community members to learn more about where irrigation water comes from; the infrastructure that delivers it; and the water supply outlook for 2021

When: April 9, 2021&nbsp; Time: 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Lunch Included Where: Gering Civic Center, 1050 M Street, Gering NE&nbsp;&nbsp; Due to COVID-19, space is limited and registration is required.

Register online at&nbsp;<a href="https://unl.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7b54f93262000a132a4831590&amp;id=5a264d4724&amp;e=eda2c4639f" target="_blank">https://go.unl.edu/yonts</a>&nbsp;or call 308-632-1230 by April 5

&nbsp; This event will follow current Nebraska Extension event policy and health district guidelines including masks and social distancing. Each spring, as the planting season approaches, brings fresh questions about irrigation water:

-How much water will the mountain snowpack provide? -What’s the state of the irrigation infrastructure in the North Platte Valley? -What have we learned about it in the past year? -How does that complicated system of dams, diversions, checks and canals work?

Answers to these and other questions – as well as some fresh new questions – will be provided by presenters at the Yonts Water Conference, scheduled for April 9 in Gering. 

The spring water conference for the North Platte Valley will return in April 2021 after a hiatus, named in honor of the late Dean Yonts, UNL Irrigation Specialist who helped start the event.

&nbsp; &nbsp; The Yonts Water Conference is organized by the North Platte Water for Agriculture Committee, made up of representatives from Extension, local irrigation districts, the North Platte Natural Resources District, agricultural producers, area businesses, and wildlife groups. The committee’s work, including the conference, is supported by an Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Water for Agriculture grant.&nbsp;

More information is available at the Panhandle Research and Extension Center webpage,&nbsp;<a href="https://unl.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7b54f93262000a132a4831590&amp;id=552d662b99&amp;e=eda2c4639f" target="_blank">https://panhandle.unl.edu</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;

By Larry Pape, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission

LINCOLN, Neb. – From Auburn to Alliance, Nebraska’s beginner-friendly lakes stretch form border to border.

These lakes have been designated by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission as family friendly because they are safe, comfortable and have great fish-catching potential. They include a combination of barrier-free fishing access, fishing trails, groomed parks, concessions, playgrounds, picnic areas, and maintained fish populations.

The following are 10 of the best examples of lakes for beginners and families to enjoy for a day of fishing. Most will have bass, bluegill and catfish, with rainbow trout seasonally stocked. Go for the fishing, stay for the other local activities.

•&nbsp;Optimist Lake&nbsp;in Auburn has a walking trail around the lake and a nearby playground, campground and ballpark. Trout are stocked in October and March. Fall City, Nebraska City and Humboldt are other area towns with similar ponds.

•&nbsp;Holmes Lake&nbsp;in Lincoln is a fishing family’s dream, with lots of fish, hiking trails, playgrounds and local services. It includes crappie and bluegill that are large enough to consider keeping for a dinner of fish filets. It also includes trophy bass and channel catfish. Areas of the dam and central part of the lake shoreline is sand; great for the kids to play in while waiting for the seasonally stocked trout to bite.

•&nbsp;Ponca State Park&nbsp;has a 1-acre pond with a boardwalk to fish from and mowed grass shorelines. Fishing rods and reels can be checked out at the visitor center to catch trout and panfish. Consider spending a weekend in the cabins or campgrounds and visiting the Lewis and Clark Museum displays while you are there.

•&nbsp;Two Rivers State Recreation Area Lake No. 5&nbsp;requires a fee to fish for rainbow trout. The lake has high numbers of fish for a great catching opportunity. Enjoy fishing from mowed shorelines and a handicapped accessible dock. Two Rivers has unique railroad cabooses turned into cabins that can be rented for your park stay.

• Yanney Park in Kearney includes a beautiful&nbsp;Yanney Lake, which is ringed by a hiking and biking trail that winds its way to Fort Kearny State Recreation Area Lake No. 6. Both of these lakes offer October and March trout stocking and great bass and panfish catching opportunity.

•&nbsp;Victoria Springs State Recreation Area&nbsp;is the third oldest area in Nebraska’s state park system and will be part of Game and Parks’ centennial celebration this summer.

•&nbsp;Lake Ogallala&nbsp;and&nbsp;Lake McConaughy&nbsp;offer opportunity for a day-trip or weekend getaway that includes fishing. Trout can be caught from the shorelines or fishing docks of Lake Ogallala, or spend time on McConaughy’s sandy shores and fish for just about anything. Bring your sand toys and build a castle while you wait for a bite.

•&nbsp;Chadron State Park&nbsp;has a rare pond for Nebraska in that it is cold enough for trout year-round. Rainbow and cutthroat trout are the featured species. This beautiful location has a fishing dock and shaded shorelines. Plan ahead and reserve a cabin for a relaxing vacation.

• A golf course seems like an unlikely place to fish, but the&nbsp;Alliance Golf Course Pond&nbsp;allows fishing from sunrise until 9 a.m., Monday through Friday. Beautifully groomed shorelines, easy access and trout is the featured attraction.

By Larry Pape, Nebraska Game and Parks CommissionLINCOLN, Neb. – From Auburn to Alliance, Nebraska’s beginner-friendly lakes stretch form border to border.These lakes have been designated by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission as family friendly because they are safe, comfortable and have great fish-catching potential. They include a combination of barrier-free fishing access, fishing trails, groomed parks, concessions, playgrounds, picnic areas, and maintained fish populations.The following are 10 of the best examples of lakes for beginners and families to enjoy for a day of fishing. Most will have bass, bluegill and catfish, with rainbow trout seasonally stocked. Go for the fishing, stay for the other local activities.•&nbsp;Optimist Lake&nbsp;in Auburn has a walking trail around the lake and a nearby playground, campground and ballpark. Trout are stocked in October and March. Fall City, Nebraska City and Humboldt are other area towns with similar ponds.•&nbsp;Holmes Lake&nbsp;in Lincoln is a fishing family’s dream, with lots of fish, hiking trails, playgrounds and local services. It includes crappie and bluegill that are large enough to consider keeping for a dinner of fish filets. It also includes trophy bass and channel catfish. Areas of the dam and central part of the lake shoreline is sand; great for the kids to play in while waiting for the seasonally stocked trout to bite.•&nbsp;Ponca State Park&nbsp;has a 1-acre pond with a boardwalk to fish from and mowed grass shorelines. Fishing rods and reels can be checked out at the visitor center to catch trout and panfish.

Top 10 beginner-friendly lakes across Nebraska

Chadron High School will present "Into the Woods" musical on March 19, 20 and 21.

The Friday and Saturday performances will be at 7 p.m. with a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m.&nbsp; Chadron High School Vocal Music/Theatre Director Wendy Mahr said her students haven't had a live performance since the pandemic began in 2020. "We're going to get to be the first one, so that's kind of fun," Mahr said. "We hope people will show up, I'm kind of a bit nervous to be honest." "Into the Woods" is a musical by Stephen Sondheim. "It's not that old of a show, it's been around since the 80's," Mahr said. "It's four different nursery rhyme stories happening at the same time. Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel and Little Red Riding Hood all happening together in the same woods. There's giants and a witch. There's all kinds of things that happen...a whole bunch of irony and fun." Mahr told Panhandle Post it's a difficult theater production to put on. "I would never do [this] with high school kids just because of the vocal chops it takes, but I have such strong kids this year so I picked it and they're doing awesome," Mahr said. "With cast and crew I say we have 25 people. Because of COVID I wasn't sure what the restrictions were going to be...so I usually have a bigger cast. I have an assistant director that's Jeff Milburn; a wonderful singer....and a choreographer, that's Kat Rischling who was our student. We're on our eighth show together. She started working with me when she was still in high school with my summer drama programs. She's a fabulous choreographer." Chadron High School students have been working extremely hard for this production.&nbsp; "The theatrical rule is for every minute you see a production, an hour of rehearsal has occurred," Mahr said. "Because everything is copyrighted, you have seven weeks to prepare. The eighth week you have to be in production because everything that you've copyrighted has to go back to New York. I do auditions before the contract starts so that the kids know what parts they're going to prep for. Then we start the rehearsal process...in our case in Chadron we have to work around sports and all the other wonderful things because our kids are in so much. I use Cardinal Singer rehearsal time, which is before school and then we're the last thing at the end of day...usually at 6:30 p.m. or 7 p.m. til 9:30 p.m. or 10 p.m. They work so hard. With Jeff and Kat and I we can run three different rehearsals at the same time. " Mahr notes that the students in this production are very talented, and some have been accepted into&nbsp;prestigious colleges.&nbsp; "Chadron is statistically the strangest&nbsp;anomaly and the most wonderful thing at the same time," Mahr said. "We're so small yet...look at our graduation rate based on our stats with normal stuff, our poverty rate, etc. We just defy everything all the time, which is a just a testament to a lot things. We have kids with so much talent in so many ways. It's funny because they don't know that. I think that's one reason that makes it so great. They have no idea that they're really good because they don't have anything to compare it to. In sports you always have a defense, you see another team, in art you don't see the other teams. You don't know what other kids' musicals are like. Part of that is a blessing because they don't really have any ego, which is super great. " Chadron Senior Lateshia Ngoi has been accepted into the Julliard performing arts schools. "At this moment in her life she thinks she wants to go into music or theatre, something in the arts for sure," Mahr said. "She's self driven. She's one of those kids that any coach loves. She knew the idea of Julliard. I do think culturally there's a disconnect. She's from Canada. The wait from getting, I think it meant a lot. First of all, it was just a 'shoot the moon', they only take five kids. She says she might as well try. It's pretty darn amazing...that she went through and got in." Chadron Senior Alexis Convoy got accepted into Princeton University through the QuestBridge Scholarship.&nbsp; "Both of those girls [Convoy,&nbsp;Ngoi] are well rounded," Mahr said. "They're both&nbsp;academically, extremely strong. They both qualified for State Speech, which is really hard to do. Actually, Alexis won her district division. They are in Cardinal Singers, FBLA and all the things that our kids do. It's just amazing." Mahr said she's really excited for this musical.&nbsp; "Usually, I don't have so many seniors," Mahr said. "In Cardinal Singers I have 11 seniors out of 25. It's fun because there isn't a weak link. Like Kennedy Stack, who is a beautiful actress and singer, she's going to Kearney on a softball scholarship but is also&nbsp;auditioning for music." Tickets for "Into the Woods" are available at the high school office.&nbsp;&nbsp;

By Cindy Randall, Alliance Arts Council

The Alliance Arts Council is proud to announce a performance by guitarist Adam Gardino as the finale to their 2020-2021 season.

Adam will perform at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 1 in the Alliance High School Performing Arts Center.&nbsp;

Since 2005 Adam Gardino has been an “up and coming” fingerstyle guitarist, musician and songwriter in the Pikes Peak region. 

 His style combines the smoothness of James Taylor and the energy of Brad Paisley to deliver exciting, jaw dropping performances.  His attention to the intricacies of acoustic guitar arrangements, delivered with a voice as clear as his mountain roots continues to wow audiences today. 

At the age of 16, Adam placed in the Top Five of the International Fingerstyle Competition held in Winfield, KS.  He kept competing in the annual contest, honing his skills and stage craft, hoping to eventually squash those pre-show jitters.  Though the butterflies never flew away, in 2010 he placed 3rd behind Pete Huttlinger and Japan’s Grand Champion Akihiro Tanaka.  After graduating from the University of Colorado Denver in 2012 with a B.S. in Music Performance, he took 1st at 23 years old – among the youngest ever to win.  And most recently in 2019 he re-entered again, after the 5 year mandatory hiatus for 1st Place winners – and won for a second time! 

While working as a musician in Colorado Springs, Adam caught the eye of the legendary cowboy chuck-wagon group the Flying W Wranglers.  He joined them in 2014, and for 5 years he grew in knowledge and experience from the best country and western musicians in the business.  Highlights of his achievements include playing for the Western Music Association, the Academy of Western Artists, the annual Chuckwagons of the West Jamboree, and opening for country singer Josh Turner at the Flathead County Fair in 2018. 

You will love the friendly, easy-going demeanor Adam has on and off the stage.  Quick to break down the “invisible barrier” between performer and audience, goofy-but-true stories and jokes often accompany the high-flying stunts attempted on the fretboard.  As one critic would write, “He could play the phonebook and make it interesting.” 

 Adam will also have “Special Guests” Joe Gardino and Tony Schmid join him for a few pieces. 

&nbsp;Tickets are $10 for Adult, $9 for Seniors and $5 for Students.  Tickets can be purchased at Carnegie Arts Center and Redmans Shoes.  You can also buy tickets at the door. 

 Masks will be required and social distancing protocol will be followed. 

Adam’s performance is co-presented by Western Nebraska Real Estate, First National Bank, Gregory’s Insurance, Harris Sales and KCOW/Double Q Country Radio.
