UPDATE: Nebraska State Engineer Matthew Manning has responded to a query by the Journal-Advocate, stating he has no comment on Donald Ostrander’s letter (see below.) In an email received Wednesday morning, Manning said officials are negotiating in good faith, contrary to Ostrander’s accusation. “Nebraska is confident that it is proceeding with a viable project, in accordance with the law, under proper procedure, and consistent with permitting requirements,” Manning said.

The road to a replacement for Sterling’s recreation center and Logan County’s Heritage Center is going to be a long one. Wade Gandee, director of parks and recreation for Sterling, told his Parks, Library and Recreation Board recently that it’s going to take more participation by stakeholders to even arrive at a design that’s acceptable to the public, and only then can they look at what it will cost.
Sterling turns to Nebraska firm for flooding problem solution

2 months ago | southplattesentinel.com | Jeff Rice

City officials hope a Nebraska consulting firm can devise a way to prevent flash-flooding at the intersection of Third Street and Chestnut during heavy thunderstorms. The block of Third between Chestnut and Poplar has flooded during heavy downpours for the past two summers causing traffic problems and some damage to buildings in that area. This despite extensive rebuilding of the city’s storm sewer system in the downtown area while the S-Curve was being built.
Venus goes to the city

Yesterday, I told myself, “Jennifer, you could feel better about your Methuselah age if you tried a little harder.” So, I made an appointment at Ulta, a beauty supply company. I told them I wanted someone to show me how to apply makeup. I intentionally put only lotion on my face, put my chin down and shoulders back, and walked into the glitz, glam, and mirrors. Did I mention everyone in the place was under twelve, beautiful, and eager? I wanted to leave.
Finding relief in the shadows

Computer and phone apps have brought folded paper roadmaps to the edge of extinction. Instead of fussing with printed maps while driving with one’s knees, global positioning satellites {GPS) provide directions with amazing clarity and accuracy. Running late and getting lost are no longer valid excuses to avoid unpleasant encounters with our least favorite family members. Detours and road construction are no match for GPS units that provide cautions and traffic concerns in real-time.
Same feeling-different story - South Platte Sentinel

As I write this morning, a wildfire is burning close to Loveland. Isn’t it interesting how news can trigger fear, compassion, and worry in a nanosecond? The smoke billowing in the sky fed thoughts of what I should do and people I feared could be affected. I was also thankful and in awe of the firefighters who stepped up to help and the aviation masters who flew above spreading retardant and water. My mind jets up, down, and all around, mostly involving the worst possible outcome.
Migmatites and river rock

Every now and then it is helpful in one’s life to embrace gee-whiz moments that keep us knowledgeable, informed, and humble to say the least. Out of such consideration flows inspiration and, hopefully, degrees of wisdom. To ponder something larger than ourselves gives nod to our divine author and creator. “How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you made them all… (Psalm 104:24 NIV).”Nothing exemplifies that more than a good river rock or two.
Exercise both brain and body

I’ve been thinking about the word happy recently. It means different things to different folks, but it is a universal concept, and most people would say they want to be satisfied. I consider myself happy most of the time. There are triggers that drop me into a dark hole, but not often enough to cause complaining. I’ve overly tasked myself lately, and it occurred to me that I’ve had a consistently higher mood. It has to do with working and being busy—good busy.
My mother warned me about this

Jul 29, 2024 | southplattesentinel.com | Ken Frantz

It might be too late for me. In the category of “distractions my mother warned me about,” I failed to pay heed to the wiles and siren call of one of my greatest temptations in life. If you seek perfect form and unblemished fruit, fragrance and complementary colors that alert the senses, including a tease to the palate, then I can do no better than to recommend late-summer peaches.
