(KMTV)– The city released results from a sound study done in October after noise complaints from last years concert season The study gave suggestion to both the city and the venue on how to lower the noise The Astro Amphitheater told KMTV it plans to work with the City of La Vista to lower noise levels from concerts The stage points right at these homes a few hundred yards away Adam Geisen who use to live in one of these homes before moving away due to the noise said it's nice to have proof of what he was experiencing “I knew I wasn't crazy when I first talk to you guys,” he said reporter Greta Goede went and sat in Geisen’s backyard to see how loud the music was the same night of the sound study Geisen’s backyard decibels measured 70-75 while across the pond at the venue decibels were 80- 85 Although the city may not be able to enforce the changes that need to be made to lower the noise according to city spokesperson mitch Beaumont the Astro is working with the city to lessen the volume at these homes Contractors suggested lowering the speakers five feet putting something around the speakers to direct the sound into the amphitheater and adding sound deadening material to the back of the stage wall “They have indicated that they are going to establish some better expectations with the bands coming in ahead of time telling them they need to keep it below this level,” Beaumont said The city does not have an ordinance for sound levels but it's possible the city and the astro could reach an agreement he hopes this brings change for his old neighbors “I’m not sure what I expect to come out of it I just hope the people at the bottom of the hill who are getting blasted by the speakers are in a better position now,” he said A spokesperson for the astro told me they are reviewing the sound study to find which recommendations can be done right now this is no timeline for these changes the city will be tracking complaints again this year to compare from last year (WOWT) - Traffic lights are out at the Giles Road and South 96th Street intersection in La Vista The reasons why lay just down the road: Poles snapped by the wind during Wednesday’s storm “We don’t know exactly what time we lost power,” said Megan Shonka Shonka’s bakery is located right next to the downed lines the lights were out at her shop and Shonka was worried her refrigerated goods would spoil She’s relieved her power is back on and she’s open “This was pretty scary knowing the power poles were completely out power lines were on the ground,” Shonka said “We didn’t know we could get to the bakery to address it or fix the situation with our refrigeration.” OPPD crews are outside trying to put the downed lines back up They blocked off Giles road on both sides adding another headache to everyone nearby “I was driving around a little bit today trying to run some errands,” Shonka said Chrissy Stephens who works at Bloom at JB’s Salon is also having issues “You’re trying to think wow I need to go here through the neighborhood and trying to remember where the other entrances are,” Stephens said they have to take the long way around 108th street “Nebraska weather is really up and down.You can’t really predict it all of the time but for an entire street to be shut down — that’s a little shocking to me,” Larandeau said The City of La Vista posted an update on the downed power lines on social media Thursday afternoon They said OPPD didn’t anticipate repairs would be complete until Friday An update regarding the power outages along Giles Road. OPPD crews have begun the repairs, which they anticipate taking until sometime Friday to complete. While repairs take place, both directions of Giles Road will remain closed. pic.twitter.com/Du0HSabbN5 Correction: A previous version of this story referred to an incorrect intersection An update regarding the power outages along Giles Road.

When asked if the city knew this would happen when it approved The Astro the Spokesperson for the City of La Vista Mitch Beaumont said this:"We anticipated some complaints for sure An outdoor venue at all in an established neighborhood The city also revealed to KMTV it has received complaints from over 20 different locations during the 19 outdoor shows this season "It's nice to know I’m not alone," Geisen said KMTV discovered that La Vista noise ordinances here aren't measured by decibel levels and are instead limited by time of day But the limits weren’t enough to stop this family from leaving “I don’t want to be negative about the city because I like this city "I’m not going to be here for the fix but I wanted to help my neighbors and others in the neighborhood and hopefully have something come of this," he said. Beaumont says the city will conduct a noise study during the season's last outdoor concert on Oct 18 to measure sound levels and then take measures to mitigate the sound in neighborhoods like Geisen’s (KMTV) – Wednesday's blizzard brought high wind causing power lines to snap and fall into roadways BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT: Customers finishing up lunch in the dark after high winds and snow from the blizzard caused power outages in La Vista assistant manager at Reffs Sports Bar said he opened the bar in the morning tv has been on and off all day and then about a half later everything just went down,” he said snapped power lines filled the road causing closures and traffic lights were out Sarpy county road crews have been out all day addressing issues and if neighbors come across road hazards… they should report them online at sarpy.gov (KMTV)– The pool is closing for the final time Labor Day weekend and is scheduled to be demolished in September to make room for an underpass The La Vista city pool is scheduled to be demolished next month to make room for an underpass.It sits in the way of the city's new plans The pool is in the way of connecting an underpass from Central Park to City Centre and because the pool is in poor condition the city decided to demolish it and build a new one Laura Wall moved in across the street in 1989 "The activity in the summer time I just really enjoy all the people coming "They have to close it down quite a bit because there is problems with it since it is getting older,” Wall said Other neighbors are excited to see what the city will do with the area and think the underpass is good idea It is a pretty busy street so that will probably be a lot safer for everybody Maybe a little commotion while it is getting built but I think a lot safer in the long run," neighbor Ryan Harm said La Vista will build a new pool just to the west of the old one in an area they are calling Central Park West but the city doesn't know how quickly the new pool can be constructed so neighbors will be left without one for a while The city is also unsure on when construction to the underpass will start The pool will remain open on the weekends through Labor Day before closing for the final time LINCOLN - For the first time in their 21-year school history the Papillion-La Vista South Titans are heading to the State Championship game holding the #1 overall seed in the tournament took on the #4 Millard North Mustangs for the third time this season Millard North started the Class A semifinal contest on a 7-0 run and controlled the early half of the first quarter but Papillion-La Vista South quickly caught up to trail 17-16 at the end of one The Titans continued a 13-3 scoring run from the end of the first quarter into the second quarter to jump ahead 22-17 The Mustangs scored the next four points with buckets from Deacon Courtney and Coriahnn Gallatin but the Mustangs surged during the next four minutes going on a 12-4 run to end the half and lead 34-25 Papillion-La Vista South's Bryson Bahl was nearly unstoppable in the first half of play scoring 19 of his teams points in the first half Millard North sparked the second half with a 14-4 run taking a 39-38 lead on a Major Mosser triple that sent the crowd into chaos Levi Webb laid in a put back to knot the game up at 42 with one quarter to play Both teams continued to trade buckets in the final quarter Millard North's Amari Rahaman drove to the basket for a tying lay-in The Titans scored right away to lead by 4 points but the Mustangs added another bucket with 6.6 left in the game to trail 59-57 Bryson Bahl nailed two free throws with 2.4 second left to ice the game as Papillion-La Vista South secured the 61-57 victory Papillion-La Vista South awaits the winner of #2 Omaha Westside and #6 Lincoln Southeast There were rumors circulating online. And then our friends at Creative Loafing made it official: Hooch & Hive, the beloved, cozy, bee-themed downtown spot for music, food, and drinks, was closing In a statement to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay Hooch and Hive’s “Spiritual Janitor” Dean Rosenberger wrote that the venue finds itself unable to continue in its current location ‘money talks,’ and we’ve reached a point where it is no longer sustainable to host live music here,” he added was that the location was going to become a sports bar owned by Green Iguana parent company On December 28th, I made the final drive down I-275 for one last night at Hooch & Hive. I was concerned that the Florida Maverick Artist Management event was going to be a somber affair there were only a couple more party nights before they turned the sound system off for the last time because the place was jumping and people were in good spirits as multiple acts raised their glasses to Hooch & Hive and talked about previous shows they’d played there It was no accident that Hooch & Hive became such a great spot for small acts. As a matter of fact, Creative Loafing’s Ray Roa and crew documented its opening six years ago stating that among high end noshes and wide selection of beverages “…the owners have also promised a top-notch sound system (plus plans to book national acts)” I talked to Frankie Consoli, guitarist of the local psyche rock band Florist He was in charge of sound (and got on stage – see below) I mixed the first show there and I’m gonna mix the last show there on Tuesday.” One reason people loved go to Hooch & Hive is its intimate and laid-back vibe The breezy open-air bar and the comically tiny stage feels personal allowing fans to fully immerse themselves in the music Another key factor behind Hooch & Hive’s popularity was its diverse lineup: from indie rock and alternative to hip-hop This commitment to fostering local talent has earned it a reputation in the Tampa Bay music scene drawing in fans who want to discover fresh There is no denying – it is hard out there for the indie music scene. I talked with Joe Marquez of Lychee Camp, who performed that night He said that the current incarnation of his band had their first show at Hooch and Hive and was concerned about the local arts community It’s unfortunate that Hooch is closing—it feels like part of a bigger domino effect the arts community in Tampa has been dealing with for a while The Orpheum had to leave Ybor a few years back Tampa’s rising rents and cost of living are getting out of control and the things that make the city unique are being erased Live music will always exist—we’ll just all have to learn to adapt A lot of people agree with him. With Ella’s Folk Art Cafe closing there are not a lot small rooms to see music in central Tampa New World and The Orpheum both left Ybor City and Crowbar’s fate is uncertain at best More and more artists are breaking out on TikTok and skipping the years of club shows to go straight to arenas Which means that they have never really learned that craft of performing which historically has been a prime revenue source a local music fan said “how disappointed she was that yet another independent live music venue has shut down to make way for more over development of soulless chain sports bars and restaurants We have to support indie clubs whenever we can.” Music can happen almost anywhere. The Independent has a great variety of music. As does Shuffle. Alternative places like The SPoT Skate Park of Tampa regularly hosts music Justin Depth, who performed at Hooch the night before at the final Hooch Brokenmold event but also encouraged fans to become more involved With the closing and the moving and loss of other venues over the last few years I feel like Tampa is going to have to start doing more DIY shows in more unconventional spaces due to the lack of a decent small to medium size venue The community will undoubtedly have to come together to put on these shows and people truly need to step up and start/keep supporting local live music if they want to see these shows to continue to happen but far too often do I see the people complaining about venues shuttering are the same people who don’t go to shows and participate in the scene Venues open and close. Maybe Hooch & Hive can find a new location, as New World and The Orpheum did. Maybe not. Without it as venues like it, we do not get as much musical cross-pollination as when Frankie Consoli sat in with The Dirty Janes playing one of my all-time favorite songs, “Funk 49” by James Gang, as captured in the video below by Davied in the Crowd Here are a few photos I took of the evening: XHTML: You can use these tags: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <s> <strike> <strong> Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_3" ).setAttribute( "value" It is WMNF Tropical Heatwave Week as we get really..

The Titans got offensive production throughout the lineup as five players had at least one RBI led the way with two and also pitched the final two innings "It shows the work we put in during the offseason is paying off right now but it's not done yet."
