Aug. 5, 2024&nbsp;—&nbsp;The American Red Cross is experiencing an emergency blood shortage as the nation faces dangerous levels of heat and people head out for final summer travel plans. Since July 1, the Red Cross national blood supply has fallen by more than 25%, and blood donors of all types, especially those with type O blood, are urged to give as soon as possible to help patients receive lifesaving medical care.

Heat impacted almost 100 blood drives in July in nearly every state where the Red Cross collects blood – compounding other seasonal obstacles to blood donation, such as travel and summer activities. Together these factors contributed to a shortfall of more than 19,000 blood donations in July. At the same time, hospital demand for blood products remains strong.&nbsp;Blood products are being sent to hospitals faster than donations are coming in. Right now, type O inventory is so low, distributions of this vital blood type are reduced below what hospitals count on.

“It’s critical hospitals have both type O positive and O negative blood ready to go for patients in the most life-threatening situations,” said Dr. Eric Gehrie, executive physician director for the Red Cross. “Type O is especially important for victims of accidents and other trauma who are receiving emergency treatment. Now is the time for donors of all blood types to give and ensure hospital shelves can be restocked before any impact to patient care.”

The Red Cross is working with hospitals around-the-clock to meet the blood needs of patients – but can’t do it alone.

Emergency blood shortage: Red Cross supply drops 25%

(North Platte, Nebraska) – Local event organizers continue to work hard to create fun and exciting events in Lincoln County that bring in visitors and contribute to the economic vitality of our community. Visit North Platte’s Grant Awards are to be used for the purpose of promoting, encouraging, and attracting visitors to and within Lincoln County, Nebraska to attend these events. Grant funds, marketing, and operating expenses for Visit North Platte are funded solely through the lodging taxes that are collected and remitted for overnight stays by lodging properties in Lincoln County.

The Visit North Platte Board of Directors approved grant funding at the monthly meeting on July 31, 2024, for the following events which will be held in October, November, and December of 2024. The applications totaled $35,995 in requests and a total of $20,495 was awarded.

· Approved $4,000 in promotional funding for the Fire on the Prairie event. Fire on the Prairie is a two-day forging event that will be held at the Prairie Arts Center October 4th-5th, 2024. The event will feature three judges from the Forged in Fire TV Show on the History Channel. Five competitors from Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and more will battle it out in the parking lot forging actual blades during a six-hour forging event. The competition will culminate with an actual testing of the blades conducted by the seasoned judges. This is the first year that this event has featured a competition, and while that will be the highlight, there will also be food trucks, artisan booths, Dutch oven demonstrations, and a historical presentation on knives during the day Saturday. On Friday, a meet and greet will take place at Prairie Arts Center, giving the public a chance to speak with judges, bid on knives, and speak to the contestants. This event will bring fans of the art of forging, and of the Forged in Fire TV Show, to visit our area and provide a fun experience for locals as well.

· Approved $495 in promotional funding for the Playdate of Terror Haunted House. In its third season, the North Platte Area Children’s Museum will utilize the promotional funds to join NebraskaHauntedHouse.com, reaching a larger audience from outside a 100-mile radius of North Platte to come and experience this spooky phenomenon. The attraction will have a new theme from previous years and will offer four nights of scares to locals and visitors alike- and don’t let the location fool you, this spooky event is not for small children.

Cornhole is one of the fastest growing sports in the United States and helping to advertise this event across the eligible eleven states and offering the opportunity for larger payouts to competition winners will help to draw in more attendees. As the sport continues to grow it will be important to emphasize North Platte as a destination for cornhole due to our facilities and central location.

· Approved $5,000 in incentive funding to the Midwest Championship Fighting for the 4 Man Pro for Nebraska event during the Salute to Veterans event. MCF will have their Salute to Veterans event at the D&amp;N Event Center on November 9th, 2024.

August 2, 2024 (Ogallala, Neb.)&nbsp;&nbsp;— The Nebraska State Patrol is seeking assistance from the public in locating a vehicle believed to be involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash late Thursday evening in western Nebraska.

At approximately 8:40 p.m. MT Thursday, authorities received a 911 call about the fatality that had occurred on Interstate 80 at mile marker 105, near Big Springs. Troopers, as well as the Deuel County Sheriff’s Office, responded. Upon arrival, a male was located deceased outside a vehicle parked on the shoulder. The vehicle, a Lincoln Town Car, had a flat tire.

Preliminary investigation shows that while the driver of the Lincoln was attempting to change the flat tire, he was struck by a passing vehicle. The driver of the Lincoln has been identified as Dennis Hall, 72, of Clovis, California.

Witnesses reported that they saw a vehicle leaving the scene. Evidence located at the scene indicates that the vehicle involved was a semi, but there was no specific description. Troopers believe the semi would likely have damage on the front passenger side.

Troopers searched at numerous truck parking locations for a vehicle that may have been involved, but have not been able to locate it at this point. Anyone with information about this incident, or anyone who observes a semi with front-end damage is asked to call the Nebraska State Patrol at 308-632-1211.

Nebraska State Patrol Seeks Public Help After Hit-And-Run Fatality Crash That Occurred In Western Nebraska

LINCOLN, NE – Nebraska Lieutenant Governor Joe Kelly is touting the many opportunities that he and trade mission delegates had to promote Nebraska products and continued market growth during a recent week and a half long visit to Indonesia. The 20-plus member team took part in a full slate of meetings, events and activities geared primarily at showcasing Nebraska agricultural commodities including beef, pork, soybeans, corn and grains. The delegation included representatives from the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA), the Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED), the University of Nebraska, and several Nebraska agricultural business sector representatives.

“Importers are very interested to know about how our products are grown and raised. They value family connections and sustainability – all things that are important in Nebraska agriculture – and makes our state a standout in the food products we have to offer,” said Lt. Gov. Kelly. With that in mind, he and Director Sherry Vinton from the Nebraska Department of Agriculture spoke frequently about the quality of family farming operations and the pride that goes into raising the best Nebraska products possible.

“This was a remarkable trade mission, and it will reap rewards for Nebraska’s ag producers,” said NDA Director Vinton. “Our delegation was warmly received and all of the face-to-face meetings with new and existing distributors and sales representatives will prove invaluable.”

Indonesia is Southeast Asia’s largest economy, the world’s fourth-most populous country, and offers substantial market opportunities for Nebraska products. Indonesia is one of the top 10 export markets for Nebraska at $139 million and has a rapidly rising GDP and growing population. Top exports from Nebraska include soybeans/soybean meal, corn, wheat and beef.

&nbsp;The group’s robust 10-day itinerary included meetings with the U.S Grains Council, beef import associations and visits to a feed mill, a fueling station that utilizes ethanol and a tempeh factory. Tempeh is a very popular dish in Indonesia and representatives of the Nebraska Soybean Board said they were excited to explore opportunities to increase exports.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“Indonesia is a top consumer of soybean meal in the world, but the U.S. has a very small market share, so we were able to have great conversations about market opportunities for them to purchase soybean meal from Nebraska,” said Wesley Wach of the Nebraska Soybean Board. “Nebraska and Indonesia have an encouraging future when it comes to soybeans.”

Additional opportunities for networking included the Indo Livestock Expo and Forum, which is the country’s leading livestock, feed and dairy industry event and the Jakarta International Expo for Food. Following that event, members of the delegation met with the new United States Ambassador to Indonesia, Kamala Sharon Lakhdhir. Discussions focused on strengthening Indonesia’s relationship with Nebraska, opportunities that exist with soybean meal, pork, and beef markets, and doing more to accommodate halal certification requirements.

A visit to the Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta provided Lt. Gov. Kelly and participants another important opportunity to discuss halal certification standards, which ensures that food products raised and processed in Nebraska are acceptable for consumption by Muslims. More than 87% of Indonesia’s population identifies as Muslim, so the ability to provide certified halal food and other products is key to that global market.

Another highlight was a visit to the Southeast Asian Food Science and Technology (SEAFAST) Center at IPB University, a state-run agricultural school. There, the focus turned to opportunities involving student exchange programs and collaborating on research in plant and animal sciences.

At the SEAFAST Center, Dr. Chris Calkins, who is a world-renowned, emeritus meat science professor from the University of Nebraska, conducted a five-hour workshop for more than 70 culinary students. As part of the presentation, he shared the difference that makes Nebraska beef a desired menu item – a corn diet.

“Planting the seeds of understanding and appreciation in future culinary leaders has high potential for long-term payback,” said Dr. Calkins.

Dr. Jessie Morrill, assistant professor of meat biochemistry at the University of Nebraska, made similar observations. &nbsp;

“Nebraska farmers and ranchers excel in the production of high-quality protein foods, which are in high demand in Indonesia,” said Dr. Morrill. “Marketing these products to Indonesia can provide significant benefits to our producers and will also help increase dietary protein accessibility in Indonesia.”

“It was exciting to be a part of the educational efforts aimed at teaching Indonesian chefs and distributors the story behind what makes Nebraska beef so exceptional,” said Grant Potadle, founder of York Creek Red Angus in Herman, NE. “Creating that demand inside, out in the marketplace, accompanied by laying a foundation for future relationships will be highly impactful in the long-term.”

Lt. Gov. Kelly showed off his culinary skills at a beef preparation demonstration at the Grand Indonesia Ranch Market, a grocery market chain. Near the end of their visit, delegation participants went to Cinema XXI, the largest movie chain in Indonesia which imports Preferred Popcorn from Chapman, NE.

Lt. Gov. Kelly said all aspects of the trade mission were productive, with plenty of opportunities for Nebraska, considering Indonesia’s growing population of 270 million people.

“Nebraska helps to feed the world and their customers are demanding higher quality meat products, which is where we fit right in,” said Lt. Gov. Kelly.

The trade mission took place from July 15 – 24.

Haigler, Neb. - Numerous law enforcement agencies conducted a search warrant in Haigler which led to the arrest of a wanted man from Colorado.

According to the Dundy County Sheriff's Office (DCSO), on Wednesday around 11:00 am (MT), agencies conducted a search warrant at 243 East Street in Haigler.&nbsp;

Lincoln, NE&nbsp;– Smoke associated with wildfires in the Western United States and Canada may affect the air quality in Nebraska.

Issued for:&nbsp;July 30, 2024, 5 PM through July 31, 2024, 12 PM&nbsp;

Air Quality Index:&nbsp;Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups to Unhealthy AQI

Potential Air Quality Impacts from Wildfires

An advisory of possible&nbsp;Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (orange) to Unhealthy (red) Air Quality Index (AQI) impacts may occur in western Nebraska, potentially affecting the cities of Alliance, Chadron, Imperial, Kimball, Ogallala, and Scottsbluff during the late afternoon of July 30, 2024, through midday July 31, 2024.&nbsp;

Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups AQI (orange)

<a></a>During Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups AQI (orange category) conditions, members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. Sensitive groups include people with heart or lung disease, older adults, and children. When conditions rise to the orange category, sensitive groups are advised to reduce prolonged or heavy exertion and avoid intense outdoor activities. Everyone else can remain active and adjust activity duration and intensity as needed.

During Unhealthy AQI (red category) conditions, some members of the general public may experience health effects and members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects. Sensitive groups include people with heart or lung disease, older adults, and children. When conditions rise to the red category, everyone is advised to avoid prolonged or heavy exertion and those in sensitive groups should consider moving activities indoors or rescheduling.

Advisories are issued for areas of anticipated impact by notifying the media and local health departments and posting information on the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy's (NDEE) webpages and social media sites. These advisories provide information to the public on the anticipated impacts and air quality and health resources to help citizens protect their health and minimize exposure to smoke.

The state monitors smoke levels and weather conditions to determine when impacts to air quality are anticipated. Advisories are based on data from the National Weather Service (NWS), smoke plume modeling, and from ambient air quality monitors located in Omaha, Blair, Bellevue, Lincoln, Beatrice, Grand Island, and Scottsbluff.

The following Air Quality Index (AQI) is used to describe air quality and suggest actions individuals can take to protect their health.
