North Platte, Neb. – Great Plains Health is proud to announce that Danielle&nbsp; "Dani" Smith, MSN, RN, has been named one of the 2024 Nebraska Nurses 40 Under 40. This&nbsp; prestigious recognition was presented at the Nebraska Nurses Association Annual Convention&nbsp; held at the Younes Conference Center in Kearney on October 4, 2024.&nbsp;

The 40 Under 40 program, jointly organized by the Nebraska Organization of Nursing&nbsp; Leadership (NONL) and the Nebraska Nurses Association (NNA), recognizes 40 nurses under&nbsp; the age of 40 who are currently licensed as RNs or LPNs across the state of Nebraska.&nbsp;

Tina Pate, Chief Nursing Officer at Great Plains Health, shared her thoughts on the&nbsp; achievement: "Watching Dani grow in her career has been incredibly rewarding. Her passion&nbsp; for patient care is infectious, and she has this amazing ability to connect with both patients and&nbsp; colleagues. Dani's not just a talented nurse; she's a natural leader who inspires those around&nbsp; her. This recognition is well-deserved, and I couldn't be prouder of her."&nbsp;

Upon receiving the award, Dani Smith expressed her gratitude: "Nursing isn't just a job for me.&nbsp; Every day, I have the privilege of making a difference in people's lives, and that's what drives&nbsp; me. This award is an honor, but the real reward is the incredible team I work with at Great&nbsp; Plains Health and the trust my staff place in me to guide them to provide the best care to our&nbsp; patients. They push me to be better every day."&nbsp;

The 40 Under 40 program highlights nurses who significantly contribute to leadership within&nbsp; the nursing profession through various avenues, including clinical practice, education and&nbsp; teaching, administrative leadership, research, writing/publishing, policy involvement, and&nbsp; healthcare innovation.&nbsp;

Kim Houtwed, NNA Executive Director, explained the spirit behind the recognition: "When we&nbsp; look at these young nurses, we see the future of healthcare in Nebraska. They're not just&nbsp; providing excellent care; they're reimagining what nursing can be. Whether it's a nurse&nbsp; developing a new patient education program or another advocating for policy changes, these&nbsp; 40 Under 40 honorees are shaping the future of our profession."&nbsp;

Great Plains Health congratulates Dani on this well-deserved recognition and her continued&nbsp; commitment to excellence in nursing.&nbsp;

The Hot Sheets: October 19th, 2024

United States Attorney Susan Lehr announced that Eddie L. Houpt, age 60, of North Platte, Nebraska was sentenced on October 17, 2024, in federal court in Lincoln, Nebraska for one count of distribution of 5 grams or more of actual methamphetamine. United States District Judge Susan M. Bazis sentenced Houpt to a total of 100 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Houpt’s release from prison, he will begin a 4-year term of supervised release.

On June 12, 2022, a Confidential Informant (“CI”) set up a controlled buy from Houpt.&nbsp; Law enforcement provided the CI with $1,300 to purchase two ounces of meth from Houpt.&nbsp; Houpt picked the CI up and drove around for a little while before dropping the CI off.&nbsp; During the drive, the CI provided Houpt the money and Houpt gave the CI a container which had two baggies containing a white crystalline substance.&nbsp; The State Crime Lab confirmed the substance to be 42.68 grams of a meth mixture containing at least 40 grams of actual meth.

This case was investigated by the Tri-City Drug Enforcement Team (TRIDENT). TRIDENT is a task force with law enforcement personnel from the Adams County Sheriff’s Office, Buffalo County Sheriff’s Office, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Grand Island Police Department, Hall County Sheriff’s Office, Hastings Police Department, Homeland Security Investigations, Kearney Police Department, and the Nebraska State Patrol.

On January 30, 2023, the CI purchased 36 grams of meth actual from Hopkins and a coconspirator at Hopkins’ residence.&nbsp; A search warrant was served on Hopkins’ house on February 7, 2023.&nbsp; During the search, law enforcement found multiple baggies of meth throughout the house, to include: the bedroom, Hopkins’ purse, and in a toilet of a bathroom.&nbsp; Law enforcement also found 2 bongs, 29 pills, owe notes, 3 scales, spoons with residue, 224 rounds of 9mm ammunition, a box of Winchester 380 ammunition with 23 rounds in it, and empty baggies in the home.&nbsp; The baggies of meth were tested by the State Patrol Crime Lab.&nbsp; The lab confirmed the samples contained 35.85 grams of a meth mixture.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Historical Society plans for use of grant funding

Cattle producers can maximize the productivity of their farm ground while improving soil health by grazing cover crops.

Producers can learn more about the benefits of cover crop grazing and practical management strategies to optimize productivity from both University educators as well as producers during the 2024 Cover Crop Grazing Conference.

The conference will run from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. (CT) at the West Central Research, Extension and Education Center in North Platte.

“The Cover Crop Grazing Conference is designed to give producers timely, practical information they can immediately apply to their operations,” said Mary Drewnoski, UNL beef Extension specialist who will be presenting about her research findings at UNL. “With expert insights, up-to-date research, and producer perspectives, attendees will not only gain valuable knowledge but also have the chance to interact directly with both industry leaders and fellow producers. Whether you’re just starting with cover crops or looking to fine-tune your system, this event will be worth your time,” she said.

The event will include a trade show, presentations about annual forages for winter grazing, selecting and using temporary fence, planting dates and forage production, and insights from a producer who has effectively incorporated cover crops into his farming and ranching business.

“Cover crops and annual forages are becoming increasingly important tools for cattle producers looking to maximize the productivity of their land while improving soil health,” Drewnoski said. “This conference provides a great opportunity to learn about new research-backed strategies and real-world practices that can boost profitability and sustainability.”

Registration is $40 and includes lunch. Please register at&nbsp;<a href="https://unl233.acemlnb.com/lt.php?x=3DZy~GDDJFPP6HOtyt~OV.Oh2q-giQ~0k~sxkKI4KXTO5HR9_Uy.0Ol02Y2hi_f1nuovbHLEIFCe" target="_blank">go.unl.edu/CCGrazing24</a>&nbsp;by Monday, Nov. 4. Payment via cash, check or credit card will be accepted at the conference.

“This is an exciting day for our office. Opening this office will enhance our ability to recruit and retain talented lawyers to western Nebraska, and it will expand our ability to assist our law enforcement partners in this portion of the state,” Attorney General Hilgers expressed at the opening event in Ogallala.

The area is office and conference space shared within the Nebraska Association of County Officials (NACO) new office building, officially opened with a ribbon-cutting on Thursday, October 10th.
