 (Lincoln, Neb.) – The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) is pleased to announce the advancement of two engineers – Kyle Keller and Brandie Neemann.

With over a decade of experience at NDOT, Keller, a Scottsbluff native and University of Nebraska Lincoln graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering, brings exceptional leadership and expertise to his new role. He excelled in project scoping and roadway design, overseeing high profile projects including the US-275 Expressway, I-80 expansion to Pleasant Dale and the Wahoo Roundabout. As Assistant Roadway Design Engineer, he managed project delivery in Districts 1 and 7 and contributed to NDOT's Alternative Delivery Program.

Now, as Project Development Engineer/Division Head, Keller will apply his expertise in project delivery and leadership. He will focus on internal workforce development, cultivate relationships with partnering agencies and external partners and enhance early project planning and delivery processes. Keller assumed this role on May 6, 2024.

"Kyle's expertise as an Assistant Roadway Design Engineer aligns well with the requirements of his new role. We are looking forward to the guidance and innovation he'll bring to Project Development," remarked Vicki Kramer, Director of NDOT.

Neemann, a licensed professional engineer with over 25 years of experience at NDOT, has succeeded Mick Syslo as State Roadway Design Engineer. With a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, she started her career at NDOT as an intern and advanced into various key roles, including Project Development Division Engineer for eight years. Neemann has been pivotal in major agency initiatives, including developing the capital improvement project selection process and the implementation of the Build Nebraska Act/Transportation Innovation Act, as well as NDOT’s assumption of environmental review responsibilities from the Federal Highway Administration.

The Hot Sheets: May 13th, 2024

Nebraska Extension and Central States Center for Agricultural Safety and Health at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, College of Public Health, have announced plans for the annual “tractor safety” training courses scheduled at 8 sites across Nebraska in late May and early June.

Federal law prohibits children under 16 years of age from using certain equipment on a farm unless their parents or legal guardians own the farm. However, certification received through this course grants an exemption to the law allowing 14- and 15-year-olds to drive a tractor and to do field work with certain mechanized equipment. Certification is earned by completing a Hands-On Safety Day with written test (Certification Day 1), then completing the Tractor and Equipment Safety Training with driving exam (Certification Day 2). Successful completion of a Certification Days 1 and 2 will result in certification for 14- and 15-year-old youth to be employed on farms and ranches.

Certification Day 1 will cover the required elements of the National Safe Tractor and Machinery Operation Program, including quizzes which students must pass to attend the driving portion of training. Once a student is registered, they will be sent instructions, materials, course paperwork and a link to the online course if they will not be attending in-person.

Certification Day 2 will include a driving test and equipment operation and ATV safety lessons. Students must demonstrate competence in hitching and unhitching equipment and driving a tractor and trailer through a standardized course. Instructors will also offer education about safe behaviors and laws for ATVs, utility-task vehicles (UTVs), and other off-road vehicles (ORVs).The cost of the course is $40 and includes educational materials, the online learning link (if applicable), supplies, and lunch and snacks at in-person trainings. Payment will be made via credit card if registering online or via check if registering by mail.

Youth under 14 years of age can register for and attend Certification Day 1 if accompanied by an adult. They will not be able to drive equipment, attend Day 2, or become certified. Students under 14 must still register, but will not be charged the registration fee.

Certification Day 1: Hands-On Safety Day with Written Test• May 21 – Lincoln, Logan, McPherson County Extension Office, 348 West State Farm Road, North Platte, NE

Certification Day 2: Tractor and Equipment Safety Training with Driving Exam• May 22 - Lincoln, Logan, McPherson County Extension Office, 348 West State Farm Road, North Platte, NE

Certification Day 1 (or online module) MUST be completed, with written exam, before attending Certification Day 2.

North Platte, Neb. - On May 14, 2024, Paws on the Platte will debut at Prairie Arts Center.  This marks the third time Paws-itive Partners Humane Society has brought community art to North Platte in the form of life-size dog statues.

Twenty-six businesses and individuals donated the unfinished fiberglass dog statues for area artists to paint.  "Each statue is turned into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece," said Jo Mayber, Paws-itive Partners president.  "The dogs are painted in themes from cartoon to realistic to abstract to surreal and each dog has a story behind it," Mayber said.  The wide variety of dogs is diverse and entertaining.  Some are painted in pastels and others in neon colors.  Some are embellished with butterflies, gems, mushrooms, rocks and feathers.

Paws on the Platte's debut is family friendly and open to the public at Prairie Arts Center.  The hours Tuesday are 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm and that evening from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm.  The dog statues will be displayed at Sue Perez's color pencil art exhibit.  Perez is a three time Paws on the Platte artist.  

After their time at Prairie Arts Center, Paws on the Platte dogs will move to Great Plains Health and can be viewed in the lobby beginning May 25. The pack can be viewed at different locations up to their July 26 finale art auction.  The auction is scheduled at Pals Brewing Company and the public is invited to attend.  Music, beverages and Cartright's BBQ begins at 5:00 pm.  The live auction begins at 6:30 pm.  Dog statues will be sold to the highest bidders.  The auction proceeds go to Paws-itive Partners.

Paws-itive Partners, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization helping animals in the North Platte and Lincoln County area.  They provide financial assistance to spay and neuter hundreds of cats and dogs every year.  Paws-itive Partners helps with emergency veterinary needs, cares for pets whose owners are suddenly impacted by an out-of-home medical crisis, help pets in foster/adopt situations and more.

	 Union Pacific Corporation Declares Second Quarter 2024 Dividend

Office of U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts

WASHINGTON, D.C. –&nbsp;U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) was one of 26 U.S. Senators who called on the United States Postal Service (USPS) to pause planned changes to its processing and delivery network that could slow down mail delivery until the potential impacts are further studied by the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) and addressed by the Postal Service.&nbsp;

The letter comes following this week’s news that USPS intends to transfer operations of the North Platte, NE Mail Processing and Distribution Center (P&amp;DC) to Denver, CO and convert the North Platte facility to a Local Processing Center. Ricketts has repeatedly engaged with USPS fighting to preserve the facility. In March 2024, Ricketts&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ricketts.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/USPS-North-Platte-PDC-Ricketts-Smith-Letter-.pdf">sent a letter</a>&nbsp;with Representative Adrian Smith (R-NE-3) requesting more information about the plans for the P&amp;DC. Ricketts staff also attended the public input meeting on March 28th.

“We call on USPS to pause all changes, pending a full study of this plan by its regulator,”&nbsp;the senators wrote.&nbsp;“While USPS claims these changes overall will improve service while reducing costs, there is evidence to the contrary in locations where USPS has implemented changes so far.

Dear Postmaster General DeJoy and U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors:

We call on you to pause planned changes to the U.S. Postal Service’s (USPS) processing and delivery network under the “Delivering for America” plan, until you request and receive a comprehensive Advisory Opinion from the Postal Regulatory Commission to fully study the potential impacts of these changes.&nbsp;

USPS is moving forward swiftly with plans to consolidate and alter its facilities across the country, making irrevocable changes to its processing and delivery network which links all communities. This plan includes moving mail processing further away from local communities, by transferring operations out of local facilities (“Local Processing Centers” and Delivery Units) and into more distant hubs (“Regional Processing and Distribution Centers” and “Sorting and Delivery Centers”). The plan also includes “local transportation optimization,” an initiative that cuts the number of truck trips and mail collections at USPS facilities, causing mail to sit overnight in local offices. USPS has begun to implement this change without notifying the public, causing critical delays for mail that requires overnight delivery.

We are concerned about the impacts these changes have had so far, and the potential impacts that further changes could have. In regions where USPS has implemented significant changes, on-time mail delivery has declined. In addition, it is not clear these changes will improve efficiency or costs. Despite these concerns, USPS has moved forward with announcing and approving additional facility changes across the country. The nature of these changes creates concerns that local and rural service could be degraded. For example, USPS proposals to remove all outbound mail operations from local processing facilities seem to particularly harm local mail – since mail sent to a nearby locality would first have to go through a far-away processing facility, often in another state. “Local transportation optimization” has also caused disproportionate impacts on rural areas. In some rural communities, it has eliminated the possibility of overnight delivery for critical mail like medications and laboratory tests. Taken together, these changes have a nationwide scope and would affect service across the country.

We call on USPS to pause all changes, pending a full study of this plan by its regulator. While USPS claims these changes overall will improve service while reducing costs, there is evidence to the contrary in locations where USPS has implemented changes so far. USPS must stop implementation, restore service in those areas where changes were implemented, and fully understand the nationwide effects of its plan on service and communities.&nbsp;

In particular, we urge the Postal Service to request a comprehensive Advisory Opinion from the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC), which would provide a robust and public process to study the impacts of these changes. The request and analysis must include the full scope of network changes, including the intersecting changes to facilities across the nation (conversions to Regional Processing and Distribution Centers, Sorting and Delivery Centers, and Local Processing Centers) and local transportation optimization. During a hearing before the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Postmaster General DeJoy stated that USPS would consider requesting an Advisory Opinion – and suggested that USPS may slow down “mail move” changes in 2024. Disappointingly, the Postmaster General did not commit to the scope of an Advisory Opinion, or to meaningfully stopping changes until further study is complete.

The Postal Service must promptly request a comprehensive Advisory Opinion to study the impacts of its full plan. USPS should pause all changes, including administrative approvals and on-the-ground changes, until the PRC completes this study and USPS incorporates the results. USPS must improve service immediately in areas where changes have been implemented, and restore status quo operations as much as practicable.&nbsp;

The Postal Service’s primary responsibility is to provide timely and reliable delivery to every community across the nation. While USPS must continue adapting as an agency to remain stable and serve the public’s current needs, it must proceed with caution and understand the implications of its plans in order to protect mail delivery for all communities.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Lincoln, Neb. May 9, 2024 —&nbsp;The Nebraska Women in Agriculture program, along with the Nebraska Beef Quality Assurance Program, will host the fourth annual Herd That! Conference on June 10-11, in North Platte. The event will be held at the West Central Research, Extension and Education Center, 402 W. State Farm Road.

“We are thrilled to be bringing back the Herd That! Conference for women who raise livestock or work in the livestock sector,” said Jessica Groskopf, director of Nebraska Women in Agriculture. “Livestock production is vital to our state. This event will focus on giving women the knowledge, tools, and skills they need to be successful in this facet of the agricultural industry. More importantly, it will provide participants the opportunity to expand their network.”

This year’s event will kick off on June 10 with a tour of T/D Angus. Trey and Dayna Wasserburger operate this innovative and progressive seedstock operation in North Platte, selling 500 Angus bulls a year to over 30 states. They also sell and ship semen and embryos globally.

The tour will be followed by dinner and keynote speaker Terryn Drieling, who&nbsp;grew up on a small feed yard in northeast Nebraska. She now lives and works on a large ranch in the Sandhills with her husband and their three children. When she’s not ranching, Drieling helps fellow farmers and ranchers step out of self-told lies with grace and compassion to draw good movement in conversations, relationships and life in rural America through her Good Movement Trainings and coaching.

Sessions on June 11 will feature industry experts as well as Nebraska Extension professionals in several hands-on workshop opportunities that will focus on beef cattle reproduction. Topics will include safely handling hormones, bull selection, culling cows and more. During lunch, participants will have the opportunity to hear from Trust in Food to learn about the future of sustainability for livestock producers.

“The way we handle our animals is more important than ever to our industry. As caregivers, we need to be sure we are handling our animals in the lowest-stress environment possible,” said Jesse Fulton, director of Nebraska Beef Quality Assurance. “I hope every producer tries to join us for this exceptional opportunity.”

Registration for the event is open on the Nebraska Women in Agriculture website,&nbsp;<a href="https://wia.unl.edu/" target="_blank">https://wia.unl.edu</a>. The cost for a two-day registration is $125 for participants who register on or before May 31. The two-day registration fee increases to $150 on June 1. One-day registrations are also available.

The conference will be offering continuing education credits for veterinary medicine professionals. This material is based upon work supported by USDA/NIFA under Award Number 2021-70027-34694&nbsp;&nbsp;
