(GERING, Neb.) -- The Nebraska Court of Appeals has upheld a lower court decision to try Corey Rotherham as an adult. Rotherham, now 17, was 16 at the time of the incident and had requested his case to be moved to juvenile court. Both the trial court and appeals court agreed that the case should remain in adult criminal court. Rotherham is charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and use of a weapon to commit a felony. The charges stem from the stabbing death of 15-year-old Wyatt Reeb in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. Devante Castellaw, identified as the person who carried out the stabbing, has already been convicted and is serving 55 years to life in prison. What happens next? Rotherham's case will continue to adult court. A pre-trial hearing is scheduled for May 20. Trying a minor as an adult can significantly increase potential penalties and changes how the case is handled. Appeals courts typically defer to lower courts unless there is a clear error, so this decision suggests the judges found the original reasoning legally sound. Craig Wayne Boyd. You may recall that the country artist won season seven's season finale of NBC's The Voice. Craig will take the stage May 8 for a special benefit concert right here in Scottsbluff, supporting families impacted by recent panhandle fires. The event commemorates the theater's 80th anniversary, where if you remember, was built from the ashes of the old Egyptian theater. All funds will go to the Oregon Trail Community Foundation to help families rebuild after these devastating fires. The concert begins at 7 p.m. and tickets are available through the Midwest Theater. Craig Wayne Boyd Friday night at the Midwest Theater. In Banner County, the sheriff's department is reminding folks of the current road construction going on. "There are 2 areas of road construction in Banner County. Both on Highway 71 about mm 45 & mm 43. Both areas go down to single lane each direction and the speed limit in the work zones is 60 mph. Reminder speeding fines are doubled in work zones when workers are present. Give the workers a break and slow down for them." That's going to do it for today's Scanner News.

False Guilt (Trapped By Guilt) - Elevate Your Day with Andi and Brian Hale

Guilt is a natural reaction to sin. If we’re not careful, it stops being a reaction and becomes a lifestyle that guides our decisions, influences our truth, and leaves us leading a life of condemnation. There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. – Romans 8:1 For a long time, condemnation and I were good friends. I sensed it from peers, authority, and even myself. It wasn’t the size of the mistake, but that someone disapproved of something I did or said. I allowed their disapproval to open the door to a life of guilt, where I ended up never feeling good enough. Eventually, I got so comfortable with guilt that I would even accept it for things I hadn’t actually done. To condemn means to express judgment, show strong disapproval of, and to pronounce unfit for use or service. It renders us useless and keeps us enslaved. Condemnation shouts our failures and highlights our mistakes until we believe we are unworthy and undeserving of God’s freedom. Left with shame, we are taken captive by fear, anxiety, stress, regret, and confusion, and begin living as slaves to the consequences of our sin. Or do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is binding on a person only as long as he lives? – Romans 7:1 How do we recognize we’re living with guilt and condemnation? Our actions and words are full of justifications, criticism, anger, or a million apologies. Words like lazy, untrustworthy, unloved, and unforgivable fill our minds. We feel like a bad friend, spouse, and parent, and often assume we deserve the guilt we carry. As real as these thoughts and feelings are, they’re all lies. Lies work because they mimic God’s truth. It’s true. We have broken His laws and deserve punishment, but God doesn’t condemn us. He provides a way out. He knew laws and rules, on their own, wouldn’t save us or move us into a close relationship with Him. It’s why He sent His son. The law has the power to expose sin, and Jesus has the power to stop it. When we ask for forgiveness, Jesus replaces our guilt with grace every time. I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. – Romans 12:1 Jesus didn’t come to forgive the sin and leave us with the guilt of it. He died to extend grace, offer forgiveness, and erase guilt. Don’t let lies cause you to miss or dismiss God’s truth. Is there a lie you are accepting? Start stepping into grace by asking God to help you identify the lies you are believing.

Self-Image to God's Image (Free Me From Me) - Elevate Your Day with Andi and Brian Hale

From Free Me From Me by Ryan Wekenman And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush. And the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” – Genesis 2:8-17 ESV The first two chapters of the Bible are glorious. In Genesis 1–2, God breathed his breath into us and called us good. At first, we were created beings who were content to put God at the center of the story and take our place as image bearers, but it didn’t take long for everything to unravel. Theologians call Genesis 3 “the Fall.” It was the moment sin entered the picture and created separation between us and God. But what really happened when Adam and Eve ate the fruit? The answer to that question is found in the lie the serpent spun. “God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil” (Genesis 3:5 NIV). Adam and Eve took the bait. Instead of trusting God’s design as image bearers, they decided to define their own rules. And in that moment, it was like a giant spotlight shone down on them, exposing their flaws and following them everywhere. As though they had become the center of the story, the headliner everyone had come to see. They put themselves at the center of the story and were so overwhelmed with their shortcomings that they overcompensated by going into performer mode: “They sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves” (Genesis 3:7 NIV). You might say they ran to the costume box and pulled out the only thing they could find for their performance—fig leaves. That’s the moment these devotionals are about. Because we replay that moment every single day. The spotlight comes on, we perceive that we are center stage, and we start singing for our supper. Of course, our fig leaves have become more robust. Some use money. Or success. Or status. Or knowledge. Or influence. Or humor. Or morality. Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses’ face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end, will not the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory? For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory. Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has come to have no glory at all, because of the glory that surpasses it. For if what was being brought to an end came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory. Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end. But their minds were hardened. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. – 2 Corinthians 3:7-18 ESV You, me, Adam, Eve, and everyone else are attempting to put on such a spectacular performance that it merits the giant spotlight shining on us. And that is an awful lot of pressure. The only solution is to get out of the center of the story and remember our job is simply to reflect God’s image to the world. Today’s Truth Statement: I am created in the image of God.

Responding to The Resurrection (He is Risen) - Elevate Your Day with Andi and Brian Hale

He Is Risen! The Reality of the Resurrection by Daniel Kolenda How does one respond to the resurrection? It doesn’t matter who you are. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done. You can experience the power and the presence of the risen Christ, and it’s as simple as ABC—Acknowledge, Believe, and Confess. First, you must acknowledge that you have messed up and gone in the wrong direction—away from the God who loves you. The Bible calls that repentance, which means to turn. Right now, you have the opportunity to turn back to God, ask for His forgiveness, and receive the grace and mercy Christ died to give you. When you turn back to God, He will welcome you with arms open wide. Next, you must believe. This is more than just mental assent—it is trusting your life and eternal soul to what you know is true. You cannot earn salvation, and you don’t deserve it—that’s the bad news. But the good news is that God offers it to you as a gift because of Jesus. You must fully trust in that gift! The Apostle Paul gave simple directions: “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation” – Romans 10:9–10 After you believe, you must confess. That means to publicly attest to your faith in Christ, though you might be persecuted or rejected. Even today, many people give their lives for their witness of the risen Christ. Jesus said, “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven” – Matthew 10:32–33 Your faith in Jesus is not just a private matter. When you confess Him, you become His ambassador in the world. If you’re ready to acknowledge, believe, and confess, why don’t you pray right now in your own words —or you can use this prayer: Father God, I come to You a sinner, needing salvation. I have messed up and cannot save myself, so I cast myself upon Your mercy. Forgive me. Take my sin, my shame, my addictions, and my darkness. Give me Your righteousness, Your freedom, Your light, and Your love.

Why The Resurrection Matters To You (He is Risen) - Elevate Your Day with Andi and Brian Hale

The heart of the gospel, the good news, is Christ was raised from the dead. He is risen indeed! That means faith is fruitful rather than futile; preaching is powerful rather than pointless; the disciples were dependable rather than deceptive; salvation is certain rather than imaginary, and death is defeated rather than victorious. Because Christ rose from the dead, those of us who believe are of all people the most blessed and the happiest because the resurrected Christ lives inside of us. Because Jesus rose from the dead, one day we will rise too! What a glorious truth! Remember, Paul didn’t say they were just believers in the resurrection. He said they were witnesses of the resurrection, and there’s a big difference between a believer and a witness. A witness testifies to what he has seen, heard, and personally experienced, which makes Christianity different from every other religion and every other philosophy. And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. – Acts 4:33 ESV The resurrection is not just a historical fact. It’s not just a sign from God validating Christ. It means Jesus is alive right now, and He can be known by you, right here, right now. You don’t have to take anyone’s word for it. Living people can show up for themselves. That is the ultimate evidence of the resurrection of Jesus Christ—the reality of His power and His presence. You don’t have to merely believe it; you can witness it for yourself. When we witness Jesus alive, we become like the disciples, who, despite the forces trying to silence them, continued to share the truth of the good news of Jesus’ resurrection. The resurrected Christ was at the core of the gospel the disciples preached. None of them changed their story, even while being tortured. None of them simply stopped talking about the resurrection and quietly went away. They all gave their lives, proclaiming Jesus had risen from the dead!

Let's start off with some crime news today. Lots of cases to report from around the panhandle. Let's start off in Alliance in Box Butte County. Thomas Wiendell, 74, pled no contest to a Class 3A felony charge of 3rd degree sexual assault of a child. Wiendell was originally charged with three different counts. Two other counts were plea bargained down. You may remember the ATV or UTV crash on Highway 71 last weekend where scanner traffic indicated a rollover accident occurred near the Banner County / Scotts Bluff County line in the Wildcat Hills. Until now we had not learned the fate of the man due to the seriousness of the crash. Panhandle scanner has learned that the man is in critical condition still and still needs our prayers. On Tuesday morning a large swath of Chimney Rock Public Power District's patrons were without power. To find our original post on that visit Panhandle scanner on Facebook where you'll find the outage map and a link to that site where you can check your area anytime there's a power outage. In fact there have been so many power outages lately we have added a tab on our website under PanhandleScanner.com under the resources tab. The National Association of Letter Carriers Annual Food Drive is set for May 9th, 2026. Scottsbluff and Gering City Letter Carriers will be collecting non-perishable food donations to stock our local food pantries. Any amount will help. You will see more about this event as we draw closer. They supplied us with a photo this year. Let's pick out our favorite mail carrier and tell them how much you appreciate them! Be ready to set that food out, May 9th. Be sure to visit PanhandleScanner.com for more resources like Nebraska 10 Codes, Mile Markers, the Panhandle Alert System, Tornado Shelters and more. That's PanhandleScanner.com. And of course don't forget our public record every Monday through Friday when available. That's PanhandleScanner.com or on social media on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Threads and others.

I'm sure everyone's heard about the devastating wildfires this past month and the community is coming together to pray for rain. HorizonServe is hosting a community prayer gathering at the Scotts Bluff County Fairgrounds to pray for rain on April 19th at 3pm. Currently, the majority of Nebraska is considered to be under severe drought or extreme drought. We have seen multiple wildfires already this year, including the largest in our state's history, impacting numerous lives, as well as farmers and livestock producers. Right now, the Pathfinder Irrigation District in Western Nebraska has 25 days of water available for the growing season. All of these facts tell us that we need rain. We believe it is God who gives rain on the earth and sends waters on the fields. So like the prophet Zachariah encouraged, we're going to ask the Lord for rain in the springtime, for he sends the thunderstorms. Join us as members from church bodies all across the panhandle to gather to pray for rain, God's blessing and provision. Sunday, April 19th, 3pm, Scotts Bluff County Fairgrounds, join us in praying for rain. Speaking of events, the Christian Motorcyclists Association will be meeting in the Roma Italian restaurant large meeting room out at the Scottsbluff Airport on Tuesday, April 14th at 6.30 pm. That's the Christian Motorcyclists Association Chapter meeting. Late Saturday night, according to Stormchaser Adam Luchio, there was some tornado activity in South Central Nebraska. But in Chester Nebraska, one tornado slipped under the radar and went unwarned. This prompts us to remind everyone to make sure you have multiple ways to get alerts, never depend on only one source.
