North Platte, Neb. -&nbsp;North Platte Giving Day is scheduled for Wednesday May 8th 2024. Families 1st Partnership will be participating and asking for donations to help prepare inmates for release as they seek a new way of life outside of crime and incarceration. This has been identified as a need by 14 different community partners who currently provide support to those incarcerated.

Inmates who do not have a plan or positive support network upon their release will often return to the same lifestyle that got them involved with crime in the first place. The inmates in the Lincoln County Detention Center could benefit from extra help to start work on a support system that will encourage taking steps to prepare for release. Often the inmates seek a trustworthy and caring individual that can help them navigate the community resources available for their needs. There are already several mentors and organizations available to provide encouragement and support, but they are now working together to take this one step farther and help the inmates with the necessary steps required to obtain an ID, birth certificate, training, education, job placement and spiritual guidance.

The group, Strengthening Purpose for Inmates, formed when community partners saw this as a gap in the community. There are several organizations and community advocates that come together each month to discuss the obstacles and barriers of inmates who will re-entry to our society after a jail sentence is complete. They’ve taken steps to work on a network of support and communication. The missing item is funds to support some of the basic things needed at release. Your donations are appreciated.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Union Pacific's first-quarter profit crept 1% higher as the railroad tightened up on expenses — particularly its fuel bill — even though it delivered slightly less freight.

The Omaha, Nebraska-based railroad said Thursday it made $1.64 billion, or $2.69 per share. That's more than&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/union-pacific-railroad-first-quarter-earnings-economy-bf63a5eeadb902e901b8aed4d8975ff9">last year's $1.63 billion</a>, or $.2.67 per share, even though last year's numbers were helped by a 14-cent gain on a real estate sale. Shipping volume was down 1% in the quarter.

The analysts surveyed by FactSet Research were expecting earnings of $2.51 per share.

“When I look at how we’re performing, I see improvement across the board,” CEO Jim Vena said. “The network is operating fluidly and efficiently, allowing us to meet the demand in the market. And that drove the financial success.”

The railroad's revenue was hurt by a drop in fuel surcharge revenue as fuel prices fell. Union Pacific said it generated $6.03 billion in revenue, down slightly from last year's $6.06 billion. But that was better than the $5.97 billion that analysts expected.

Union Pacific was able to hold down expenses 3% at $3.66 billion. That included a 14% drop in fuel expenses to $658 million in the quarter as diesel prices fell and the railroad improved its fuel efficiency a bit.

Vena&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/union-pacific-railroad-ceo-jim-vena-06b2fbdf515e7f5aa8d82c0b2cafbc88">became CEO</a>&nbsp;last summer after&nbsp;<a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60ad6c502b44e43fe7a303b9/t/63fbc01f43115a3c065fa353/1677443103154/Soroban+-+Letter+to+Union+Pacific%27s+Board+of+Directors.pdf">investors pressured</a>&nbsp;Union Pacific to replace its last leader. Its improved performance showed up in the quarter in the form of slightly longer trains — reaching an average of 9287 feet (2,831 meters) in the quarter — a 4% increase in freight car velocity, 4,000 fewer times railcars needed to be switched between trains, and better performance on what shippers want.

Some UP customers want the railroad to deliver their shipments faster while some don't care as much about speed and are more concerned about getting consistent deliveries. But the railroad is working to improve on both fronts.

“You always try to optimize the network operationally and look for ways to be able to drive efficiencies in the network. But the base plan always is, what did we sell to customers? What did we tell the customers we’re going to deliver? And make sure that that’s the base plan. And from that you build it up,” Vena said.

Edward Jones analyst Jeff Windau said the results showed “solid improvement in operational and efficiency metrics.” That will give the railroad a strong foundation for future profits when the number of shipments increases.

Union Pacific said its quarterly results have it feeling more optimistic about profit growth this year even though it still expects volume growth to be muted after losing some international intermodal business and its expectation for lower coal shipments. So it plans to restart its stock repurchases in the second quarter.

But UP executives cautioned that the economy remains uncertain as businesses and consumers wait to see whether the Federal Reserve will&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/inflation-prices-rates-economy-federal-reserve-biden-f02b969d1b44a7ccb0385be03f766de0">start cutting interest rates</a>.

Investor pressure on the railroads is in the spotlight this spring because an activist investor is&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/norfolk-southern-ancora-earnings-proxy-vote-shaw-f5383c8a2e2d87e215be48beb4e298b1">currently trying</a>&nbsp;to take control of Norfolk Southern and replace that railroad's management because its profits have lagged the rest of the industry. Vena said he doesn't shy away from that pressure because it's appropriate for shareholders to expect a return on their investment in the capitalist system.

“That’s the way business is,” Vena said. “The only reason an activist becomes involved somewhere is you’re just not performing to what you claim that you’ve been able to perform.”

UP is one of the nation’s largest railroads with more than 30000 miles (48,000 kilometers) of track crisscrossing 23 Western states.

The&nbsp;Nebraska Library Commission&nbsp;recently awarded&nbsp;Nebraska Library Internship Grants&nbsp;totaling $21,000 to eighteen Nebraska public libraries. These internship grants will support public library interns who will contribute to the scope and value of the diverse programs and activities in Nebraska’s public libraries.

“The internships are a great opportunity for students to get involved in library work. Beyond earning money and gaining valuable work experience, the student is exposed to the broad range of library services and programming. Internships provide an opportunity for the student to view the library as a viable and satisfying career choice. In addition, interns bring a fresh perspective and their own unique talents to the library,” said Nebraska Library Commission Director Rod Wagner.

Student interns will learn about library work as they shadow staff, assist with day-to-day library operations, and implement special projects. Some of the activities that students will participate in include:

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Summer Reading Programs for youth, teens, and adults

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Help plan and conduct makerspace classes, STEAM activities, story time, computer classes, and Pioneer Days events

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Assist with library outreach at the Farmer's Market

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Partner with local historian to work in the Heritage Room

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Field trips to visit other public libraries

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Partnerships with the Community Club, Library Foundation, 4-H, FFA, and County Extension

•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Basic library duties: circulation, shelving, weeding, attending library board and city/village council meetings, processing acquisitions

The following 18 Nebraska public libraries were awarded 2024 internship grant funding:

Loren Corey Eiseley Branch Library, Charles H. Gere Branch Library, Bennett Martin Public Library, Youth Services Outreach, Bess Dodson Walt Branch Library, Northeast Service Unit - Victor E. Anderson &amp; Bethany Branch Libraries

Nancy Fawcett Memorial Library, Lodgepole

Funding for the project is supported and administered by the Nebraska Library Commission, in partnership with the Nebraska Library Systems.

As the state library agency, the&nbsp;Nebraska Library Commission&nbsp;is an advocate for the library and information needs of all Nebraskans. The mission of the Library Commission is statewide promotion, development, and coordination of library and information services, “bringing together people and information.”

Nebraska’s Regional Library Systems&nbsp;consist of four non-profit corporations governed by boards representative of libraries and citizens in the region. The four systems were established to provide access to improved library services through the cooperation of all types of libraries and media centers within the counties included in each System area.

LINCOLN, NE –&nbsp;Governor Jim Pillen has signed 10 bills into law and announced his veto of a bill he says would harm Nebraska taxpayers.&nbsp;

Legislative Bill 25 would make taxpayers financially liable for lawsuits filed against towns, cities, school districts, public power districts and other local government units. Taxpayers would also be liable for broad claims of abuse committed by employees and non-employees of those public entities.

“We must hold perpetrators accountable and protect children from abuse by enforcing criminal laws that exist and by targeting wrong-doers, not taxpayers,” said Gov. Pillen. “There are civil remedies already available to children and their families that allow for compensation when harm results from abuse.”

Bills signed by the Governor include:&nbsp;LB126, LB126a, LB937, LB937a, LB1023, LB1023a, LB1317, LB1317a, LB1402, 1402a.&nbsp;

LB1317 and 1402 both have emergency clauses and are effective immediately.

The veto letter from Gov. Pillen for LB25 is attached.
