Employees of Maxon America and Maxon Systems donated 45 toy bears to the Platte County Sheriff’s Department last week. The sheriff’s department gives the bears to children who have been involved in accidents, domestic disputes or other traumatic events. The donated bears began with donations from one of Maxon’s vendors, Bushart Office Supply. Employees became excited about the idea and brought in more bears. The Edgerton Boy Scouts and the Dearborn Methodist Church have also donated bears to the sheriff’s department. Pictured were Maxon employees who organized the event, including Jerri Smith and Mary “Sam” Simmons, with Captain Frank Thurman of the Platte County Sheriff road patrol.


Plans for installing an estimated $24,000 networked computer system during Christmas break at North Platte Elementary were discussed at the school board meeting last Wednesday. The system, which will include a computer for every classroom, is being funded by a matching funds program the district initiated a few years ago. The district will match 100% of funds that an organization raises for school related equipment and programs.
