A 24-year-old man from Cozad has been charged with felony theft and criminal mischief following an incident at a Gothenburg convenience store Friday morning.

Gothenburg police were called to the store around 6:30 a.m. after a report that no employees were present. Officers arrived and confirmed the store was unattended, prompting them to contact the store manager.

Inside, a skills game had been broken into, with tools nearby. The employee who was scheduled to be on duty returned and reported that $4,000 had been deposited into two bitcoin machines, even though he still had more than $14,909 in his possession.

Christian Joyce was taken into custody and arraigned Tuesday in Dawson County Court. His bond was set at 10% of $10,000, and his next court appearance is scheduled for next week, October 28, 2025, at 11 a.m.

Joyce is also facing a shoplifting charge from an earlier incident at a Lexington store this month. He had been released on his own recognizance in that case.

$18,909 Bitcoin and Cash Theft Leads to Arrest of Cozad Man in Gothenburg

The Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Lincoln County is preparing for a busy fall season with two upcoming community events — and a renewed call for volunteers to help support local children in the court system.

CASA Director Janet Vath announced that the organization will co-host a Halloween Party with the Lincoln County Children’s Museum on October 26 at AXIS and ACES. The event will run from 2 to 5 p.m. and feature games, a costume contest, and family-friendly activities. A $5 donation is suggested at the door, though Vath said anyone is welcome to attend regardless of ability to pay.

“It should be a lot of fun,” Vath said. “We just want families to come out and enjoy the afternoon together.”

Next month, CASA will host “Soups, Sips, and Stand Up for CASA” on November 14, featuring a soup supper, entertainment by a comedian, and both wine and whiskey pools. Guests can also purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win one of two quarter beefs, with tickets priced at $25 each. Tickets are available from any CASA board member, at the CASA office on the second floor of the FBNO building, or by calling 308-386-8393.

Vath said details for both events will be shared soon on CASA’s Facebook page and new website, which is expected to launch within the next week.

Alongside these community events, CASA continues its ongoing mission to recruit new volunteers to serve as advocates for children in the court system. Currently, 52 families — representing 93 children — in Lincoln County are waiting for advocates.

“Usually when you advocate, you advocate for the whole family,” Vath explained. “These children are in desperate need of voices in court.”

CASA advocates act as a consistent presence in a child’s life, gathering information about schooling, health, and home visits, and then reporting back to the court. Volunteers commit five to ten hours a month and complete a 30-hour training program that includes both classroom learning and court observation.

Vath emphasized that volunteers are not left to navigate cases alone: “I walk with you through your first case or two until you feel confident. We want advocates to feel supported every step of the way.”

She added that CASA’s role has become even more vital amid recent changes in the North Platte court system, including shifts in judges, attorneys, and caseworkers.

“Sometimes we’re the only constant person in these children’s lives,” Vath said. “Judges change, attorneys change, foster homes change — but CASA stays.”

Those interested in becoming a CASA volunteer or supporting the organization’s efforts can call 308-386-8393, stop by the office in the FBNO building, or visit CASA’s Facebook page for updates on upcoming events and volunteer opportunities.

🎙️CASA of Lincoln County Hosting Fall Events, Seeking New Advocates for Local Children

The Mid-Plains Community College Board of Governors met Wednesday night at McCook Community College, covering topics ranging from international art and student engagement to new academic programs and facility improvements.

The meeting began with a special work session featuring the American Watercolor Society’s International Traveling Show, now on display at the Wrightstone Gallery in McCook through October 27. The exhibit includes between 40 and 50 pieces from artists around the world and is the only stop for the show in Nebraska. MPCC President Ryan Purdy noted that the college has already secured the exhibit’s return for fall 2026 and 2027.

During the meeting, board members were introduced to several members of the MPCC community, including advisors of the International Club, which currently includes students from more than 22 countries. The board also met residence life assistants and student trustees Vernon Graham and Jackson DeLaveau, who are helping lead student engagement efforts on campus this year.

New hires were recognized as well, including Dr. Evan Olson, a Gothenburg native and new math instructor in McCook, and Caleb Taylor, the new Business and Community Education administrative assistant. The board also honored Karen Haller, assistant to President Purdy, who is retiring after 26 years with the college.

Among action items, the board approved the creation of a Pickleball Club, reflecting growing student interest in the sport. Purdy said the club will begin at the student level but could expand into a competitive athletic program in the future.

The college also approved the purchase of two 2022 semi-trucks for the CDL training program, expanding the fleet to five vehicles. The additions will allow students to train on both automatic and manual transmissions, preparing them for a wider range of driving opportunities.

In other business, the board accepted a bid from Beverage Construction for just under $85,000 to complete soil work and site preparation on the North Platte campus. The project will prepare space for future student housing, a need driven by rising enrollment.

Enrollment continues to trend upward across all MPCC campuses. Overall enrollment has increased by 8.5% compared to last year — the college’s highest total since 2013–2014. Dual-credit enrollment is up 23%, highlighting the success of partnerships with area high schools.

Students and community members are also encouraged to take advantage of upcoming registration opportunities.

In community news, the North Platte campus will host a Trunk-or-Treat event on October 28 from 5 to 7 p.m. at South Campus. The event is free and open to the public.

MPCC will also celebrate its 60th anniversary this Saturday with a special volleyball game against Otero. A recognition ceremony begins at 1:55 p.m., followed by the first serve at 2 p.m. Admission is free.

College officials say they’re encouraged by the momentum heading into the new year, pointing to growing enrollment, student engagement, and community involvement across all MPCC campuses.

The Hot Sheets: October 15, 2025

North Platte, NE — What began as a small garage project in Georgia has become one of North Platte’s newest downtown success stories. Hide Park Apparel celebrated its official ribbon cutting this week, drawing a packed crowd that filled the shop and spilled onto the sidewalk outside—marking another milestone for the creative small business that’s turning old footballs into game-day fashion.

Owners Josh and Katelyn Sperle were joined by friends, family, and community leaders for the ceremony, hosted by the North Platte Area Chamber and Development Corporation. The event highlighted both the business’s rapid growth and its deepening local roots.

“It’s just such a cool place for them to be downtown,” said Chamber President and CEO Gary Person. “They’ve fixed it up beautifully. It’s a production facility, but it’s also a space that really reflects their story. What started as a part-time hobby has grown into a full-time business and now a brick-and-mortar shop. It’s the kind of American dream story we love to see come true.”

Person noted that Hide Park Apparel was recently named Entrepreneur of the Year, selected from dozens of new businesses in the area. “They really springboarded the whole thing through our Big Idea competition,” Person said, referring to the local pitch contest where winners earn investment money for their business ideas. “To see them go from that idea stage to what they’ve built now—it’s really inspiring.”

Sperle recalled that journey with a mix of humor and humility. “We repurpose game-used footballs and make really cool game-day gear out of them—mostly hats, but also keychains and earrings,” he said. “We’re on pace to repurpose about 700 footballs this year and sell 10,000 hats. It’s grown way beyond what we imagined when we started.”

Hide Park’s path began in 2019 as a passion project in Atlanta. When the Sperles moved back to Katelyn’s hometown of North Platte, they continued building the business, eventually pitching at the Big Idea competition, where they earned second place and a $5,000 award to reinvest in equipment and inventory.

“This community has really believed in us,” Sperle said. “Winning the Entrepreneur of the Year award was humbling. We didn’t even know we were in the running. To see so many people show up today, wearing our hats and supporting what we’re doing—it’s just overwhelming in the best way.”

During the ribbon cutting, Sperle also took time to thank those who helped make their downtown location possible, from local contractors to the Prairie Arts Center’s Public Art Fund, which led the creation of a vibrant canteen-themed mural along the building’s wall. “We wanted something the whole community could be proud of,” Sperle said. “They absolutely nailed it.”

Mayor Brandon Kelliher congratulated the couple during the ceremony for their investment in the community. “The more small businesses we have, the better off we are,” Kelliher said. “You’ve taken a risk to build something here, and we’ll all be telling this story for years.”

Hide Park Apparel now ships to over 30 states, and the Sperles say they plan to keep expanding while maintaining their North Platte home base. “We want this to be a place the whole community can be proud of,” Sperle said. “We’re so grateful for the support—and the prayers—as we keep growing.”

Hide Park Apparel Celebrates Ribbon Cutting and Entrepreneurial Success

Lincoln County, Nebraska – In advance of the upcoming Veterans Day holiday, Lincoln County announced plans to illuminate county buildings green from November 4-11 as part of Operation Green Light for Veterans, a nationwide effort uniting counties to support military veterans. The initiative, led by the National Association of Counties (NACo), raises awareness around the unique challenges faced by many veterans and the resources available at the county, state, and federal levels to assist veterans and their families.

Now in its fifth year, Operation Green Light is spearheaded by NACo and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers, building upon successful efforts by the New York State Association of Counties and the NYS County Veteran Service Officers’ Association in 2021. In 2023 and 2024, over 450 counties participated in Operation Green Light.

Lincoln County residents, businesses and community organizations are encouraged to participate in Operation Green Light by changing one light to a green bulb. By shining a green light, we let our veterans know that they are seen, appreciated, and supported.  “Operation Green Light is an opportunity to thank veterans for both their service to our nation and their contributions to our communities,” said NACo Executive Director Matthew Chase. “With hundreds of counties coming together to light up everything from courthouses to bridges, we know veterans will see and feel our gratitude for their selflessness and courage.”

The Hot Sheets: October 14, 2025

The North Platte Public Schools Foundation and KIDS Klub are inviting the community to enjoy a night under the stars at this year’s Movie on the Field event. Sponsored by NebraskaLand Bank, the annual fall tradition allows families to watch a family-friendly movie while supporting local afterschool programs.

This year’s featured film, Moana 2, was chosen by the community through a social media vote. Gates open at 5:30 p.m., with the movie starting at 6 p.m. 

Families are encouraged to bring blankets, lawn chairs, and snacks, and enjoy tailgate-style concessions including hamburgers and hot dogs. Admission is free, with a suggested donation supporting KIDS Klub.

The event also coincides with National Lights On Afterschool, a nationwide celebration of afterschool programs keeping their “lights on” for students.

 Carrie Lineman of KIDS Klub said, “We want everyone in our community to know that they're invited...just a great way for us to give back to the community that supports us.”

Attendees can also receive stadium blankets featuring the KIDS Klub logo, available to the first 100 families. Organizers ask that guests respect the field, avoiding sunflower seeds or gum, as the event takes place on the school’s athletic field.

Now in its third year, Movie on the Field offers families a fun, free, and safe evening while supporting afterschool programs in North Platte.

The North Platte Catholic School System is off to an exciting start this fall, with enrollment on the rise and a full schedule of student activities. Wendy Dodson and Gwen Covey discussed the happenings at NPCS.

“Fall is always a very busy time at our school system with lots of events and activities. And we're especially looking forward to our biggest fundraiser of the year, Green, which is coming up in just a couple of weeks,” said Dodson.

Enrollment at North Platte Catholic Schools is up this year. Covey shared, “As you know, we just started school in August, and it's exciting to share that enrollment is up again this year. Every year, there's always some tendency to have some transfers, but we're excited to share that our numbers are back up. And what I do is I tour families, and if there's an interest for students to come our way, then I get to show them our school and what our school has to offer. And that's probably my favorite part of the job.”

G.R.E.E.N., taking place on October 25, plays a vital role in supporting the school’s operations and endowment. “This is our annual dinner fundraising gala, and it began in 2003. And really what it does is helps the endowment reach an annual goal for funding the school budget. So it's a really fun event. It's the biggest party of the year, I think, a great, fun event to plan. But it really is very important for the general operations of our school,” said Covey.

Even if attendees can’t make it in person, they can still participate. “The silent auction is completely online. So that's a great way to participate even if you can't attend. So just North Platte Catholic Schools on Facebook. The link is there. You just have to click the link and sign yourself up,” Covey explained.

With a focus on community, education, and fun, this fall promises to be an exciting season at North Platte Catholic Schools.

Community Ties Giving Program invests in safety, community vitality, and local impact

Union Pacific Railroad is continuing its long-standing support of Nebraska communities, awarding more than $300,000 in grants across the state through its Community Ties Giving Program — including several organizations in North Platte and Ogallala.

In North Platte, four nonprofits received funding for projects that strengthen community engagement and growth. The recipients include the Golden Spike Tower &amp; Visitor Center, Habitat for Humanity International, the Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation, and the North Platte Community College Foundation.

Each organization plays a unique role in supporting local quality of life — from preserving North Platte’s rail heritage to expanding affordable housing, education, and community development initiatives.

Meanwhile, in Ogallala, the Front Street Cowboy Museum was among this year’s Nebraska grantees, recognized for its work preserving local history and enriching the region’s tourism and cultural identity.

Union Pacific distributed more than $4 million nationwide to 430 nonprofit organizations this year, focusing on projects that align with the company’s four core giving priorities: safety, workforce development, community vitality, and environmental sustainability. Grant amounts ranged from $5,000 to $30,000, helping drive measurable impact in towns and cities across 23 states.

“Union Pacific is committed to empowering local organizations that are driving meaningful change,” said Liisa Lawson Stark, vice president of Public Affairs for Union Pacific Railroad. “These nonprofits are the heartbeat of their communities, and we’re honored to support their efforts to create safer, more vibrant places.”

The Community Ties Giving Program operates through an annual competitive grant process that opens each April. Eligible nonprofit organizations can learn more or apply online at <a href="https://www.up.com/CommunityTies">up.com/CommunityTies</a>.

Union Pacific — headquartered in Omaha — operates one of the largest freight networks in the United States, connecting communities across 23 western states and helping move goods that power the economy.
