Nice hobby

Looking for something new to try?

A man nicknamed ``Humble Bob'' stuffed himself with 11.5 pounds of a local specialty called chili-spaghetti in only about 10 minutes to claim victory in a holiday eating contest.
     Bob Shoudt won $2,500 at the inaugural Skyline Chili Spaghetti eat-off Monday at Kings Island amusement park.
     ``Humble Bob'' dashed to an early lead, sucking down more than two pounds in less than a minute.
     Shoudt, of Philadelphia, is ranked No. 5 by the International Federation of Competitive Eating.
     He did so well at vacuuming up the pasta mixture Monday that he narrowly beat the federation's top-ranked competitive eater, Joey Chestnut. Chestnut won this year's July 4 hot dog-eating contest at New York's Coney Island with 59 dogs in 10 minutes.

Another form of fuel

Posted by on Aug 20 at 12:53 PM

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) _ What's better than butter? How about butter biodiesel? Today, the butter sculpture is being unveiled at the New York State Fair. The nearly half-ton of butter will be converted into fuel when the fair ends. The butter-to-biodiesel project is the work of students at the State University of New York's College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Grad student Dan Nicholson notes butter is already 80 percent fat and oil. The conversion process removes remaining water and protein. Nicholson says the 900 pounds of butter will result in 96 gallons of biodiesel. No word, though, on recycling toast. ^<

NBA Award

Posted by on Aug 11 at 01:25 PM

The Krvn sports department was recently awarded a second place award at the Nebraska Broadcasters convention. The award was for the feature we did last fall on the Lexington high school football team of 1957 that was inducted into the Nebraska high school hall of fame. We ran the feature during our halftime show the weekend that the team held a big reunion in Lexington. It was a lot of fun to put together.

Bio

I live in Elm Creek with my wife Carol and my son T.J., who is a senior at Elm Creek High School. I'm a native of Minden and I graduated from high school there in 1992. I have been the sports director at KRVN since 1997. Before that, I worked three years at KUVR in Holdrege. I attended broadcasting school at the Brown Institute in Minneapolis, and I attended Central Community college in Hastings for a year as well. I enjoy announcing our local sports broadcasts and putting together the sports reports on KRVN AM & FM. I have been fortunate enough to win 19 sports awards from the Nebraska Broadcasters Association and Associated Press during my time at KRVN. I also announce the midday show on the River from 10 until 2 each weekday.
