BOATING SAFETY COURSE AT HASTINGS
A boating safety course will be held at the Hastings Police Department on Friday, June 21, according to Scott Eveland, Boating Safety Officer for the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.
According to Eveland, the Nebraska Boating Safety course is required of all power boat operators born after December 31, 1985, which includes operators of personal watercraft and all other motorboats. It is also required of all operators at Lake Hastings. The minimum age to operate a motorboat in Nebraska is 14 and 16 at Lake Hastings.
The course covers everything from equipment requirements to safe boat operation and accident prevention, and is a great course for both new and experienced boaters. Boat owners who complete the class may qualify for insurance discounts. Parents are encouraged to attend with their children and boaters of all ages are welcome. Students must be at least 14, or turning 14 this calendar year to be certified. The homestudy with proctored exam option allows students to study online, then attend a shortened review and test session. That session will be offered June 21 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. The $10 fee for this course has been waived. Preregistration is required and there are minimum student requirements for the class to be held.
In order to have time to prepare, students should register no later than seven days before the class. To register for the class, or for additional information, contact Boating Safety Officer Eveland at (308) 289-0017 or scott.eveland@nebraska.gov For information on additional classes in Nebraska, visit www.boatsafenebraska.org. |

A Midsummer Night’s Trail Run to be held in Hastings
Registration for the Third Annual A Midsummer Night's Trail Run (MNTR) opens April 1. With a race date of July 13, 2013, this unique running event challenges runners of all abilities to "kick the conformity" of the Saturday morning 5K and compete in a 4-mile nighttime trail run through beautiful Prairie Lake Recreation Area.
Precisely at 9:04PM the event kicks off, with participants navigating a unique off-road course through nature at night. Participants are encouraged to bring their own headlamp or flashlight to light their path in the later stages of the race.
“Last year’s pool of runners hailed from over forty Nebraskan cities and several surrounding states,” commented founder Jed Kautz, “and we expect to have a record-breaking number of participants this year. Plus we’ve added distance as a fun challenge for returners and newbies alike.”
Participants receive a limited edition 2013 Dri-Fit Technical shirt, post-race party with live entertainment, plus drawings and giveaways from a few awesome sponsors. Proceeds benefit expansion of Hastings’ Pioneer Spirit Trail. |
