Monday Oct 12 2026 – Scanner News

While the month of October is Pastor Appreciation Month, we also recognized and celebrated National Pastor Appreciation Day yesterday on Sunday to remind everyone how important it is to support our local Christian leaders. The entire month is recognized as National Clergy Appreciation Month, so you still have time to show your appreciation. Local pastors like personal things like hand written thank you notes, gift cards for groceries, gas, or food, covering a weekend of duties, helping arrange a day off, or even home cooked meals or baked goods. October is Pastor Appreciation Month.
 
Speaking of the weekend, it was a windy one.

 

The area experienced some gusty conditions that apparently brought some poles down onto 42nd Street in Scotts Bluff. A power outage was also caused by those downed poles, with local authorities and NPPD working hard to get things restored. Kite Festival out at the Soccer Complex was also affected, with the Scottsbluff Rural Fire District responding to a balloon stuck in some wires.

 
And the Sunday Scanner is out, packed full of stories over the past week. Check it out on Panhandlescanner.com or on our Facebook page. But the weekend was also with some tragedy.

 

A 17-year-old motorcyclist was killed Sunday afternoon in a collision on US Highway 385 and West 3rd Street in Alliance, followed minutes later by a separate crash in which a vehicle struck a local furniture store. Emergency responders were dispatched to the first crash at approximately 1.35 p.m. on Sunday, with information indicating a southbound passenger vehicle attempted to turn east onto West 3rd Street, crossing into the path of the oncoming motorcycle. The teenage motorcyclist sustained fatal injuries.

 

That’s going to do it for today’s Scanner News. Thanks again for listening and may God bless. I’m Brian Hale.
