   Governor Pillen Seeks Applicants for NPPD Board 

Columbus, Neb. –&nbsp;The shores of Lake Maloney will be treated for Spiny Naiad, an abrasive plant that has sharp leaves and branches which limits recreational activities, such as swimming, along the shoreline of the lake.

To control the growth of Spiny Naiad along the shores, Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) and the Lake Maloney Property Owners Association (LMPOA) have contracted with Aquatic Controls to treat some of the impacted shorelines and bays with an herbicide. Weather permitting, the application will take place on June 17 and will cover most of the residential shorelines and public access areas where Spiny Naiad is growing.

“NPPD and LMPOA have worked closely with the Nebraska Game and Parks to research the best way to control the spread of Spiny Naiad in a way that is safe and effective. Aquatic Controls is experienced in treating Spiny Naiad and will be able to complete the application with minimal impact to activities at the lake, the day of the application,” says NPPD Senior Environmental Specialist Justin King.

The herbicide application will be completed from a boat to treat approximately 40 acres of Lake Maloney’s 1,650 acres of water surface. The lake will remain open for regular use on June 17, however for the safety of the contractor, and to help with efficiency of the application, NPPD asks lake goers to avoid areas where work is being completed.

There will be a Celebration of Jim Salestrom’s life on Friday, June 21, in the University of Nebraska at Kearney’s Fine Arts Recital Hall beginning at 7:00 p.m. CDT.&nbsp; The presentation is planned to highlight some of Jim’s life, experiences, career, and his music.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Doors to the celebration will open at 6:00 p.m.&nbsp;

As written in his obituary, James Kevin Salestrom impacted countless lives throughout his long and successful musical career. To his family he was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, and brother. He was born February 20, 1956 in Omaha, NE to Virgil and Janice Salestrom. He is survived by his wife Pamela Dailer Salestrom, his daughter Casey, son-in-law Brandon Freeman and son James Salestrom Jr. of Nashville, TN. The true joy of his life was his grandson - Casey and Brandon’s son, Thomas James. Jim also dearly loved his brothers Chuck and Tom Salestrom and their families.

To his fans Jim was a joy to listen to, a world class singer/songwriter and an Emmy winning performer. His love of music started at the early age of 7 when he got his first guitar. As he got older, he started writing songs, and formed several groups in Nebraska with his brother Chuck. The most notable of these was Timberline, which further launched his career.&nbsp;

He played guitar and sang in Dolly Parton’s band over the course of decades. Her shows took him all over the world. Jim also had a close relationship with John Denver and performed with him throughout the years. He shared his love of life and positive spirit through his music. He worked with countless wonderful musicians and performed for 5 U.S. Presidents, and numerous members of the U.S. Supreme Court.

He treated everyone with love and respect. Jim was known for his humor, infectious smile, positive outlook on life and a gift to make everyone feel special. He sang like an angel, and luckily his music will endure long past his lifetime.&nbsp;&nbsp;Amazingly, he was still performing shows three weeks prior to his death&nbsp;

Jim passed away on Wednesday, November 22 surrounded by loved ones at his home in Arvada, CO after a decade-long battle with cancer. He was 67 years old.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Jim’s family has planned 3 separate events starting in Kearney on June 21, then Breckenridge CO on June 26, and finally in Big Sky, Montana on August 5th. &nbsp;Memorials are suggested to the&nbsp;Grateful Music&nbsp;Foundation--&nbsp;a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation located at 133B Pheasant Tail Lane in Big Sky, Montana.

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission will consider recommendations for a 2025 mountain lion hunting season at its June 21 meeting in Ogallala.

The meeting begins at 8 a.m. Mountain time at the Petrified Wood Gallery, 418 E. 1st&nbsp;St.

For the first time, a hunting season will be proposed for mountain lions in the Wildcat Hills. If approved, a Wildcat Hills Unit will be created, joining the existing Pine Ridge Unit and Niobrara Unit as areas that would allow mountain lion harvest.

The Wildcat Hills Unit would encompass parts of Scotts Bluff, Morrill, Cheyenne, Garden, Kimball, and Banner counties. The objective for the unit is to provide a harvest opportunity for hunters that will keep the lion population resilient while slightly reducing their numbers.

Game and Parks’ genetic surveys in 2023 estimate there are 70 mountain lions in the Pine Ridge, up from the last estimate of 33 in 2021. Surveys that will allow population estimates for the Niobrara and Wildcat Hills are presently being conducted. Twenty-seven mountain lions were documented in the Niobrara Valley during 2023, and 24 were documented in the Wildcat Hills.

Season 1 in all three units would take place Jan. 2, 2025, through the end of February. The season would end immediately in a unit if the annual harvest limit or female sub-limit were reached. The Pine Ridge limit would be 12 mountain lions with a sub-limit of six females, the Niobrara limit would be four mountain lions with a two female sub-limit, and the Wildcat Hills limit would be three mountain lions with a two female sub-limit.

Up to 960 permits could be issued by lottery in the Pine Ridge Unit, up to 320 permits in the Niobrara Unit, and up to 240 permits in the Wildcat Hills Unit. Permits are available to residents only. An auxiliary season that allows the use of dogs would be March 15 through the end of March if the annual harvest limit or female sub-limit were not reached during Season 1 in any unit. A number of permits equal to the number of lions remaining in the limit would be issued by lottery to unsuccessful permit holders from that unit who apply for the auxiliary season.

In other business, commissioners will consider changes to park regulations that would:

Commissioners also will consider these fishing regulation changes:

In addition, there will be staff recommendations to:

Staff also will present the results of a survey on Lake McConaughy and Lake Ogallala, a report on Lake McConaughy, and an update on outreach efforts in west-central Nebraska.

 <li>The removal of the no-live-baitfish restriction will be recommended for Lake Wanahoo.</li><li>At Two Rivers State Recreation Area Lake No. 5, also known as the trout lake, a recommendation would shorten the time a trout tag is required to fish the lake by one month. It also would remove the tag display requirement and allow anglers to release any caught trout.</li>
 </ul>In addition, there will be staff recommendations to:<ul>

North Platte, Ne - March 7 &amp; 8 of 2024 will be one the Kuhlmann family will remember for a long time. The night of March 7 was the evening that the area received a record snow of over 15 inches, 14.6 inches of that came over a 6-hour period, some portions of the area received closer to 20 inches of snow. At the KJ's Boots &amp; Western Wear store at the intersection of I-80 and the Hershey/Dickens road south of Hershey, all the snow that fell caused the business's roof to fail. Connie Kuhlmann (owner) said her husband Kevin had gone to the store on the afternoon of March 8 to clear their parking lot and scoop the walk when he went into the store around 5pm and realized part of the roof had collapsed.

A phone call went out from Kuhlmann at the time to friends and family, to rush to the store and try to get the inventory out of the building before a larger problem developed. Within an hour of the call, a dozen people showed up to help with trailers, moving dollies and manpower. Later a Facebook post for help went out on the local Hershey page, and within 15 minutes much of the community of Hershey came to the aide of the Kuhlmanns.

(POST PODCAST with Connie Kuhlmann, sponsored by <a href="http://www.npkubota.com">North Platte Kubota</a>)

Nearly 3 months later, KJ's has reopened in North Platte in the old Sun-Mart building, now home to New Life Church, MEGA Gymnastics and CMH Interiors. Plans are still in the air for the old KJ's building in Hershey, but Connie Kuhlmann says "we hope to reopen in Hershey, but in the meantime North Platte has become our new home."

KJ's opened in North Platte on June 1, and is running a 20% off special through June 15th during the Buffalo Bill Rodeo, part of Nebraskaland Days. Store Hours 9m-6pm Monday-Saturday, 1-4pm on Sundays.&nbsp;

The Hot Sheets: June 11th, 2024

June 10, 2024&nbsp;— As World Blood Donor Day approaches on June 14, the American Red Cross stresses that blood and platelet donors are critically needed right now to combat a drastic shortfall in donations over the last several weeks.&nbsp;Donors of all blood types are needed, especially those with type O blood and donors giving platelets.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Record-breaking summer travel and severe weather conditions are expected to persist all season long, which may prevent donors from being able to give. When fewer people donate, less blood is available for hospital patients.&nbsp;Make a blood or platelet donation a priority this summer. Book a time to give now by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App.&nbsp;&nbsp;

June 14 is World Blood Donor Day, a day meant to raise awareness of the need for a safe, diverse and stable blood supply, and to recognize volunteer blood donors. This is the perfect time to give, especially for those who haven’t given in a while, or who have never given before.

Those who come to give June 10-30, 2024, will get a $15 e-gift card to a merchant of choice.
