SPRINGVIEW, Neb. - A Nebraska snowplow will bear the name chosen by a Keya Paha County grade-schooler. Madison Stout won the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) Name-A-Snowplow contest for District 8 by coming up with the name Slusher Crusher.

The statewide contest invited students from kindergarten through 6th grade to submit creative names for the snowplows, with NDOT choosing two winners from each of its eight districts.
