According to a Nebraska State Patrol officer at the scene about 2 miles south of Page, the driver of a silver Chevy Lumina that was reported stolen from Woodbury County, Iowa, was arrested after a brief high-speed chase on Nebraska Spur 45-A. The officer said the stop originally was for driving 20 miles over the speed limit. The driver then failed to yield to law enforcement and a two-mile pursuit ensued. The vehicle malfunctioned and the driver was taken into custody. The driver is expected to be charged with possession of stolen property, speeding, no operator’s license and driving left of center, according to the Nebraska State Patrol.   The Page Fire Department held its annual appreciation supper on Monday, Feb 8.
In addition to the monumental year awards, Kathy VanEvery was honored. Kathy VanEvery has been an active EMT on the Page Fire Department for the past 30 years, and chose to not renew her EMT license when it became due at the end of 2015. Even though Kathy has decided to retire as an EMT, she remains an important part of the Fire Department in assisting at calls, helping with dispatching duties at the Fire Hall, and being available to all members and sharing the vast knowledge she has acquired over her years of service.

The SEARCH program helps very small, financially distressed rural communities with predevelopment feasibility studies, design assistance, and technical assistance on proposed water and waste disposal projects. Village of Page Chairperson Donald Linquist said, “We are very pleased and appreciative to have been selected to receive funding for our project via the SEARCH Grant. The USDA does an extraordinary job of assisting smaller communities here in rural Nebraska with grants for various projects which would otherwise exceed the financial resources of villages such as ours and for that we are very grateful. This grant will help us pinpoint any potential water system concerns so that they may be addressed in a timely manner." This rural development grant will be used for the development of a preliminary engineering review on Page’s aging water system.
