NEWS ROUND-UP: Jeremy Pliva Earns Recognition For Artwork


Here are some of the latest headlines from our area:
  • DHS' Jeremy Pliva Gets Honorable Mention In Statewide Art Contest: Even with more than 3,700 entries and only about 30 percent being awarded recognition, DHS senior Jeremy Pliva recently received honorable mention in the statewide Scholastic Art Contest for his sculpture of a buck.  Pliva will be honored at a ceremony in Omaha on Feb. 24.  His artwork will be on display in Omaha until April.  We say great woodworking and painting done by this Dorchester senior.
  • DHS Freshman Scores 14 In First Varsity Start: The Friend Sentinel has a story in this week's paper that Dorchester girls basketball freshman Alli Novak got her first varsity start and scored 14 points for DHS last week in the Lady Longhorns' loss to Nebraska Lutheran.  The Dorchester girls, who beat Hampton 56-39 earlier this week, are 9-12 on the season.  They will finish the regular season with a home game against McCool Junction, tomorrow, Feb. 9.  Friday night is also parents’ night.  For the DHS girls, subdistrict play begins Monday, Feb. 12, at the D2-2 tournament at Malcolm and DHS will take on 10-8 Mead at 7:45 p.m.  The Dorchester boys will wrap up regular season play on Feb. 16 at Exeter-Milligan.
  • Storm Spotter Training Will Be March 12 This is an early notice that Jefferson, Saline and Gage County emergency management along with the Omaha National Weather Service will once again be sponsoring a storm spotter training class.  Storm spotter training will be March 12, 2018 at 7 p.m. at the Homestead National Monument, Education Center (west site), 8523 West State Highway 4, Beatrice.  Storm Spotter training is for the public who wants to learn what to look for, as well as the serious storm chaser. It is recommended that you attend a session every two years to keep up on any changes. For more information, e-mail John McKee at em@jeffconebraska.us.
