OLD SETTLERS CAR AND TRUCK SHOW The 2017 Mid-Plains Community College raffle car, a 1965 Chevrolet Impala, will make an appearance in Indianola on Saturday. It will be at the Old Settlers Day Car and Truck Show on Fourth Street from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Impala is the 13th vehicle restored and modified by students in MPCC’s Classic Car Restoration (CCR), Automotive Technology and Auto Body Technology programs. Every year, the students disassemble, modify and reassemble a classic car. They begin by reducing the vehicle to a shell then sandblasting the body and frame down to bare metal. From there, they embark on the long and challenging process of transforming the vehicle into a work of art. The project requires them to study and merge both traditional and modern engineering and technology. “They learn about everything from chassis, electrical systems, drivetrains, engines and the replacement and refinishing of sheet metal to plastic, fiberglass and upholstery,” said Don Wilson, Auto Body instructor and supervisor of the CCR Program. “When you have to merge analog systems with digital technology, it can get complicated. There isn’t a book or instructions when merging them, and our students must know both before they can make the various systems work properly and look amazing.”

ATTORNEY CONFRONTS ENGINEER The lead attorney opposed to the Keystone XL oil pipeline confronts a TransCanada engineer about the company’s proposed route and proposes an alternative. Attorney Dave Domina pressed TransCanada engineer Meera Kothari about the proposed entry point of Keystone XL from South Dakota during her testimony before the Nebraska Public Service Commis-sion. Domina pointed out the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission has yet to approve where Keystone XL would enter Nebraska. Domina stated there is no fixed entry into Nebraska as claimed by TransCanada in its application before the PSC. “So, South Dakota and Nebraska don’t match, do they?” Domina questioned Kothari. “No,” Kothari answered. Domina claimed the only approved entry into Nebraska from South Dakota was the one used by TransCanada when it converted the first Keystone pipe-line into an oil pipeline. Domina suggested that using the existing route would be less controversial that TransCanada’s current proposed route for Keystone XL. “Wouldn’t it be an advantage to TransCanada to be able to put in a pipeline across a route over which it had no public opposition?” Domina asked during the second day of PSC hearings on Keystone XL. Hearings continue in downtown Lincoln.

CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION IS UPSET

A request by PenAir to discontinue service to central and western Ne-braska has the state Congressional delegation upset. PenAir has filed a request with the Department of Transportation to end air service routes between Denver and Kearney, North Platte, and Scottsbluff. “Today’s news regarding PenAir is concerning for Nebraskans, especially those in our state’s rural areas and the Panhandle,” U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer said in a written statement released by the senator’s office. “Reliable air service connects our families, businesses, and communities to the rest of our country and the world. As Congress considers the FAA reauthorization this year, I will continue to shore up support for the Essential Air Service program. I will also work to reduce burdensome regulations that harm Nebraska’s small and community airports by reducing the number of available pilots and increasing service costs.” Fischer is a member of the Senate Commerce Committee. Congressman Adrian Smith is also alarmed at the prospect of PenAir ending flight service to Nebraska.

ON THIS DAY

“I laugh at myself. I don't take myself

completely seriously. I think that's another quality that

people have to hold on to... you have to laugh,

especially at yourself.” ~Madonna~

SPORTS Nebraska-Kearney has been picked a top the MIAA preseason volleyball poll

after going 17-1 in league play and 35-2 overall winning the league title last

season. The Lopers, who won the MIAA Tournament as well, received ten of

the possible 12 first place votes from the coaches. Central Oklahoma who

was third in the league last season at 15-3 was picked second receiving one

first place vote as they come off a 30-4 overall 2016 campaign. Washburn,

who was 16-2 and second in the MIAA last year, was picked third just four

points behind the Bronchos and earned the remaining first place vote. Central

Missouri was slated in the fourth spot after turning in an 11-7 league record

and going 23-10 overall while Northwest Missouri was picked fifth by the

coaches. Fort Hays State earned the sixth spot in the poll just five points

ahead of Missouri Western who was picked seventh overall. The Griffons

came in just two points ahead of Emporia State who the coaches slated in

eighth while Lindenwood sits in the ninth spot just six points behind that.

Pittsburg State was picked 10th, Missouri Southern 11th and Southwest

Baptist 12th in this year’s poll.

For the second straight game, the Royals fell victim to a big inning that

seemingly could have been prevented. On Monday, a booted double-play ball

aided a six-run outburst by the Cardinals in an 11-3 win. On Tuesday, a

couple of strange and lucky singles, a hit batter, a couple of wild pitches and

a couple of homers led to another six-run inning that led to a 10-3 Royals

loss. The Royals had just taken a 3-1 lead in the fourth on Cheslor Cuthbert's

three-run double. But Kansas City starter Jason Vargas served up a home run

to Randal Grichuk in the fifth, then hit a batter, then made a perfect pitch to

Tommy Pham, only to give up a cue-shot swinging bunt for a single. With one

out, Vargas walked Jose Martinez. Then Yadier Molina tapped a three-hopper

down the third-base line that caromed off the base into short left field. Two

runs scored, and the Cards had a 4-3 lead. "You don't want to use it as an

excuse, but perfect swinging bunt, and then perfect pitch to Molina and he

rolls over and it hits the bag," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "When you're

not going good, you're not getting the breaks, and we're definitely not going

good." Game of the four-game series is tonight. Pregame coverage on The

Big Talker 1300 KBRL-AM starts at 6:30 p.m.
