NPPD says subject has been identifed

<a href="https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2024/01/26/bill-advances-to-elect-oppd-nppd-board-members-on-a-partisan-basis/">Nebraska Examiner</a>

LINCOLN — Candidates for Nebraska’s two largest public power districts would be elected on a partisan basis under a bill advanced from first-round debate Friday in the State Legislature.

State Sen. John Lowe of Kearney, who introduced the proposal, said he was concerned that “East Coast money” has been recently poured into races for the Omaha Public Power District and Nebraska Public Power District and that labeling candidates for those offices as Republican, Democrat or nonpartisan will add clarity to elections.

“Most of the time, that one word choice will tell voters 99% of what they need to know to govern,” Lowe told fellow senators.

Legislative Bill 541 advanced from first-round debate on a 29-16 vote that split along party lines, with Republicans, like Lowe, supporting it and Democrats voting against.

Opponents of the bill, led by two Democrats, Lincoln Sen. Jane Raybould and Omaha Sen. John Cavanaugh, pushed back on the 99% comment and said candidates are elected on much more than their party label. They added that the problem addressed by the bill appears to be campaign spending, not partisanship.

Raybould said keeping “the lights on and the rates low” isn’t a partisan issue.

Cavanaugh said making NPPD and OPPD races partisan could disenfranchise voters because races could be decided in the primary if two candidates are of the same party, preventing those in the opposite party from having a voice in the race.

He and others said partisanship is what has hamstrung politics in Washington and that electing state senators on a nonpartisan basis for the Nebraska Legislature has avoided that.

“I don’t think the people of Nebraska are looking for us to inject more partisanship into our elections,” Cavanaugh said.

He added it was ironic that proponents of the bill adopted an amendment to retain nonpartisan elections for rural electric district boards, due to opposition of the change by the state rural electric association. That, Cavanaugh said, tends to prove the points raised by opponents.

Bellevue Sen. Carol Blood said that “East Coast” money was thrown out as a bad word but that it’s already been shown that East Coast money from well-healed GOP conservatives &nbsp;— the Koch Brothers and Betsy DeVos — have influenced Nebraska elections in the past.

Lowe said public power district races used to be low-cost affairs, costing $40,000 or less to campaign, but have escalated to $100,000 or more due to the influx of out-of-state money. He cited a $475,000 donation from a Washington, D.C., group to the&nbsp;Nebraska Conservation Voters Political Action Committee to influence elections.

Sen. Barry DeKay of Niobrara, a former member of the NPPD board, said he was targeted for defeat by out-of-state donors because he was a Republican and they wanted someone who supported solar and wind energy.

Columbus Sen. Mike Moser, a Republican, said Democrats opposed the bill because being a member of the party was a detriment to being elected in Nebraska, which is dominated by the GOP in most areas.

“I think all elections should be partisan,” Moser said. “It’s another clue to voter of where you come from, what you stand for … and who to support.”

St. Luke's Catholic prepares for Catholic Schools Week & Winter Festival this Sunday (Podcast)

Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department

Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department (SWNPHD) encourages women aged 21 and over to screen for cervical cancer. It is very important to get screened regularly because cervical cancer may not cause any signs or symptoms, especially in the early stages. An estimated 12,000 new cases of cervical cancer occur each year in the United States.

Cervical cancer is the most preventable female cancer with regular screening tests and follow-up. It also is highly curable when found and treated early. There are two tests that can help find it early:

· The Pap test (or Pap smear) looks for cell changes on the cervix that can be treated, so that cervical cancer is prevented. The Pap test also can find cervical cancer early when treatment is most effective.

· The HPV test looks for Human Papilloma Virus—the virus that can cause cervical cancer. This test can detect many high-risk types of HPV even before there are visible changes to cervical cells.

Depending on your age, your doctor may recommend you have a Pap test, or an HPV test, or both tests together.

There is a vaccine available to help prevent cancers caused by the HPV virus. Some of the cancers that the HPV vaccine can help prevent include throat, cervical and rectal cancers. This vaccine has been routinely recommended starting at the age of 9- 26 years but now it can also be given to adults aged 27 – 45 years.

Through a grant from the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (NDHHS), SWNPHD works to increase cervical cancer screening in southwest Nebraska through a program called Health Hub. “This program educates women on preventive health screenings, offers assistance to get their screenings scheduled, and helps them progress toward healthy living,” states Lori Rowley RN, Health Hub Program Manager at SWNPHD.

Women with no health insurance or whose insurance does not cover preventive cancer

screenings can qualify for free screenings through the Every Woman Matters Program. Residents of Nebraska can pick up an application at SWNPHD or their local medical clinic.

For more information on cancer screenings or vaccinations, talk to the public health nurses at 308-345-4223. Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department serves Chase, Dundy, Frontier, Furnas, Hayes, Hitchcock, Keith, Perkins, and Red Willow counties. The website swhealth.ne.gov contains many resources and additional information helpful to prevent disease, promote and protect health. You can also follow SWNPHD on Facebook, TikTok, You Tube and Instagram

&nbsp;2023,&nbsp;18&nbsp;floodwater&nbsp;reduction&nbsp;dam&nbsp;assessments&nbsp;were&nbsp;completed&nbsp;with&nbsp;seven&nbsp;NRDs&nbsp;–&nbsp;Lower Big Blue, Lower Elkhorn, Lower Platte South, Nemaha, North Platte, Papio-Missouri River, and Upper Niobrara White. The cities of Bayard, Plattsmouth, Gordon, and the Pathfinder and Farmers Irrigation Districts were also joint local partners.

Dam assessments are detailed inspections that analyze the current hazard classification, determine if the dam meets current design standards and evaluate if any deficiencies are present. In some cases, corrective actions may be listed to address deficiencies or to meet design&nbsp;standards.&nbsp;Dam&nbsp;assessments&nbsp;are&nbsp;funded&nbsp;under&nbsp;the&nbsp;NRCS&nbsp;Watershed&nbsp;Rehabilitation Program, which was authorized in 1981.

“NRCS is pleased to provide technical and financial assistance to partners like NRDs, communities and others for addressing dam safety,” said Nebraska State Conservationist Rob Lawson. “Our&nbsp;purpose&nbsp;is&nbsp;to&nbsp;help&nbsp;local&nbsp;sponsors&nbsp;identify&nbsp;any&nbsp;needed&nbsp;improvements&nbsp;to&nbsp;ensure&nbsp;long-term structural integrity.”

NRCS’s first focus is to complete assessments on dams that provide flood protection upstream of&nbsp;towns&nbsp;and&nbsp;cities.&nbsp;Because&nbsp;of&nbsp;their&nbsp;location,&nbsp;these&nbsp;structures&nbsp;are&nbsp;classified as&nbsp;“high&nbsp;hazard”&nbsp;by the state of Nebraska and thus receive top priority for review.

“Local sponsors&nbsp;have done a&nbsp;great job operating&nbsp;and&nbsp;maintaining&nbsp;dams over&nbsp;the&nbsp;years; however, repairs&nbsp;or&nbsp;alterations&nbsp;may&nbsp;be&nbsp;needed&nbsp;as&nbsp;infrastructure&nbsp;ages,”&nbsp;said&nbsp;NRCS&nbsp;Dam&nbsp;Safety&nbsp;Engineer Bob Sullivan. “Many of these structures were built 40 to 60 years ago.”

On&nbsp;behalf&nbsp;of&nbsp;participating&nbsp;NRDs,&nbsp;the&nbsp;Nebraska&nbsp;Association&nbsp;of&nbsp;Resources&nbsp;Districts&nbsp;(NARD) coordinates the dam assessments with NRCS and contracted with local engineering firms including JEO Consulting Group and Houston Engineering.

“We appreciate the excellent work of the NARD to coordinate these assessments with NRDs,” Lawson said. “This is a great example of federal, state, and local entities working together to accomplish mutual goals.”

“Completing&nbsp;these assessments&nbsp;is the&nbsp;first&nbsp;step in&nbsp;securing&nbsp;additional&nbsp;federal funding&nbsp;to&nbsp;help address&nbsp;any&nbsp;dam&nbsp;deficiencies&nbsp;that&nbsp;may&nbsp;be&nbsp;found,”&nbsp;said&nbsp;NARD&nbsp;President&nbsp;Dr. Orval Gigstad. “This&nbsp;program&nbsp;is vital in&nbsp;helping NRDs protect&nbsp;the&nbsp;lives, property, and&nbsp;future of Nebraskans.”

This&nbsp;partnership&nbsp;began in 2022&nbsp;when&nbsp;nine&nbsp;dam&nbsp;assessments&nbsp;were completed&nbsp;across&nbsp;Nebraska.

This morning around 7:00am MT/8:00am CT, the Sidney Police Department has announced that Nathan Robinson was captured January 23rd, at 11:30pm MT in Colorado. Robinson was spotted driving the stolen Chevrolet Cruze.&nbsp;Robinson is being held in the Fremont County Jail in Canon City, Colorado.  He is being held on Local and State Charges.

The Sidney Police Department issued a press release on Monday night about their search for a Sidney man who is wanted, and as of Tuesday at noon the man is still wanted.

The man SPD is looking for is 23-year-old Nathan James Robinson who has a warrant for his arrest in connection to Assault, Robbery and Abuse of a Vulnerable Adult.

Authorities say Robinson was last seen driving the victim's red 2012 Chevrolet Cruze Sedan bearing Nebraska license plate 39-D310. Nathan&nbsp; is described as a 5'6 white man with red hair, a bald spot and red beard.

&nbsp;For any information on his whereabouts, SPD encourages you to reach out to an officer at 308-254-5515 with any information. We will follow up on leads as they come in.&nbsp;&nbsp;
