Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department

Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department (SWNPHD) has confirmed a positive rabies case in an animal in the health district. The rabies exposure was from a skunk in Keith County, and only involved domestic animals. No human exposure occurred from this case.

“Even animals that may look friendly should be treated with caution if you are unfamiliar with them. Teaching your children about animal safety is extremely important to prevent any possible exposure to rabies,” explains Melissa Propp RN, Clinic Manager with SWNPHD.

In skunks as in other warm-blooded animals, rabies is a severe, rapidly progressing neurological disease. It spreads through saliva, most commonly through contact with an infected wild animal.

Rabies should be suspected in all animals that show a sudden change in behavior that is different from normal, such as animals normally active at night being seen during the day. Signs of rabies in animals may include any of the following:

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), rabies is a medical emergency. Any person with a suspected exposure should wash wounds immediately with soap and water and seek medical attention from a healthcare professional right away. Rabies is a deadly viral infection that affects the nervous system of humans and other mammals if not treated quickly after an exposure.

The best method to prevent rabies exposure is to ensure that pets, livestock, and horses are protected against rabies with current vaccinations. Contact your local veterinarian, local healthcare provider or public health department regarding rabies vaccination, testing, and exposures.

For more information contact Melissa Propp, RN at 308-345-4223. Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department serves Chase, Dundy, Frontier, Furnas, Hayes, Hitchcock, Keith, Perkins, and Red Willow counties. You can follow SWNPHD on Facebook, TikTok, You Tube and Instagram or&nbsp;or view the website at www.swhealth.ne.gov which contains many resources and additional information helpful to prevent disease, promote and protect health.&nbsp;call 308-345-4223.

Nebraska Department of Transportation

&nbsp;(Kearney, Neb.) — The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) is pleased to announce the winners of the 2024 Annual Snowplow Roadeo. The event, hosted by NDOT, took place in Kearney at the Nebraska Safety Center showcasing the exceptional skills and expertise of snowplow operators from across the state.


The Snowplow Roadeo is an annual event in which local competitions are held in each of NDOT’s eight districts. The top two teams from each district then advance to the state competition, where they compete for the chance to represent Nebraska at the national level. This year, the national competition will be held in late Sept. in Loveland, Colo.

After a competitive display of talent and precision, the top two teams were announced, ready to take on the national stage. The winners of the 2024 Annual Snowplow Roadeo are Chad Shaul and Tyrel Yager, from District 8 in Valentine. These teams have demonstrated their exceptional skills, dedication to safety, and commitment to ensuring safe and efficient winter road maintenance.

The Snowplow Roadeo not only celebrates the expertise of snowplow operators but also highlights the importance of their role in keeping Nebraska's roadways safe during the winter months. These skilled professionals work tirelessly to clear snow and ice, ensuring the smooth flow of traffic and minimizing potential hazards.

"I want to congratulate the winners of this year's Snowplow Roadeo," said Vicki Kramer, Director of the Nebraska Department of Transportation. "This event provides opportunity to test skill and showcase the level of sophistication it takes to keep our roads safe and open to those who use our roadways to travel to work, school and home. I appreciate the seriousness and the competitiveness, while also having a little fun, that was shown among the NDOT teams. We are proud to have such talented individuals representing Nebraska at the national competition."

The national competition in Loveland, Colo., will bring together the top snowplow operators from across the country. Competitors will face a series of challenging tasks designed to test their skills in various winter road maintenance scenarios. The event provides an opportunity for operators to learn from each other, exchange best practices, and showcase their expertise on a national platform.

NDOT remains committed to promoting excellence in winter road maintenance and ensuring the safety of Nebraska's residents and visitors. The Snowplow Roadeo serves as a reminder of the dedication and hard work put forth by snowplow operators, who play a vital role in keeping our roadways safe and accessible during inclement weather.

(Audio) One Book North Platte Community Read

North Platte, NE – Mayor Brandon Kelliher announced a significant decision regarding a possible Enhanced Employment Area (EEA) change at District 177. After thorough deliberations and consultations with various stakeholders, the changes to the EEA have been removed from the upcoming City Council agenda. REV Development, the District 177 development company, had planned to request an increase in the amount of funds that could be raised using the EEA if the City Council approved changes to the existing ordinance.&nbsp;

“After receiving input from several local subcontractors who have worked on the District 177 development and discussions with both the general contractors and the developer, I have decided to remove the Enhanced Employment Area discussion from the City Council agenda,” stated Mayor Kelliher.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Mayor Kelliher emphasized the importance of collaboration and open communication in ensuring the success of all development activities in the community.&nbsp; "The EEA ordinance changes may return to the City Council agenda only after District 177 developers largely resolve the financial disputes," Kelliher added. This approach aims to ensure that financial issues are addressed satisfactorily before further council action is considered, thereby protecting the interests of local subcontractors and the broader community.&nbsp;

“I am opposed to the idea that city government should become involved in the day-to-day transactions of private businesses however in this case city council is able to assist local businesses by creating the opportunity to clear up the financial issues,” Kelliher stated.&nbsp;

Mayor Kelliher extends his gratitude to the local subcontractors, general contractors, and developers for their ongoing contributions and input. Their feedback has been invaluable in making informed decisions that align with the best interests of North Platte’s residents and businesses.&nbsp;
