within reach.

»»» When Dad started having chest pain, the first few minutes were critical.

The Good Samaritan Hospital paramedics transported him to the Level II trauma center where the heart team utilized their advanced cardiac technologies to determine the problem. In their state-of-the-art cath lab, they opened his blocked artery in less than 30 minutes, preventing any heart damage. I guess time really is heart muscle, which is one reason why Good Samaritan was the first accredited Chest Pain Center in the state.

Our family is really blessed to have such a skillful, caring place close by. When seconds count, the best care from arrival to dismissal is…within reach.

The medical center, centered on you.

“The people of Kearney, there’s something genuine here,” Spotted Bear said.

KEARNEY — Before organizers could even begin As visitors filed across the bridge from the archdiscussing what went right and what didn’t during the 2010 Dancers of the Plains powwow, a visitor from way’s main campus to the powwow grounds Saturday North Dakota was thinking about ways to improve the afternoon, Ronnie O’Brien said the 2010 crowd compared with the size of the 2009 powwow, which event. attracted an estimated 5,000 people.

Looking on as native dancers circled in the pow“It looks every bit as big as last year, even bigger,” wow arena at the Great Platte River Road Archway, one of the architects of the earth lodge completed said O’Brien, who is director of education for the archnearby two weeks ago said he would be telling his way and the powwow’s lead planner. friends in North Dakota to join the powwow next year.

The 2010 powwow featured additional vendors in “We’re already thinking how to extend an invitation its food court. Visitors could purchase native artwork for more dancers and to help build up this event. Why and souvenirs.

Spotted Bear, an Arikara from the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota.

This year’s powwow will be June 17 and 18 at the archway.

Spotted Bear led a team of 22 workers from North Dakota and Oklahoma in building the 54-foot diameter earth lodge that was an emotional focal point during the weekend powwow. Pawnees have not built an earth lodge for generations, so the knowledge was dying.

The powwow attracted audiences of several thousand as members of the Pawnee tribe of Oklahoma and Arikara Tribe of North Dakota reunited for the first time in 300 years at the archway.

Spotted Bear said the spirit during the powwow and the helpfulness of many people during the earth lodge project impressed him.

“I really like the dancing and the drums, and compared to 2009, this is a pretty g o o d crowd.”

Saum said it’s fitting to have the powwow at the archway.

“This is the P a w n e e s ’ homeland. I’m glad we’re doing it here,” she said.

Beads of perspiration covered dancer David Kloeckener’s forehead as he took a break from the arena Saturday afternoon. The 22-year-old Cherokee photography student from St. Louis said he was uncertain what he’d find in Kearney.

4th Annual

WINE & JAZZ FESTIVAL May 20th & 21st, 2011

KEARNEY —The event is in an outdoor entertainment tent in the Museum of Nebraska parking lot at the corner of 25th Street and Central Avenue.

Last year’s event featured six Nebraska jazz bands and wine from 14 of the state’s wineries. More than 1,000 people attended the event last year.

Dana Moss drove more than 150 miles from Selden, Kan., to attend the festival last year.

“My mom found an advertisement for this,” Moss said when asked how she found out about the Wine & Jazz Festival. “We were a little reluctant to make the drive, but it’s been awesome.

The whole setup has been fantastic.”

Add smiles to your windowsill when you start your summer herbs in these fun pots handcrafted in Bangladesh.

Moss, along with her husband, mother and another friend, made the trip to sample Nebraska wines and to hear the music.

She and her party left the tent after purchasing five bottles of wine.

Shariatpur Faces Planters, Bangladesh, $28

“It’s very comfortable here,” she said. “Everyone’s very nice. The music has been fantastic.”
