Response to J.L. Schmidt CapView (2/13/24) Column RE: LB45

A recent editorial in this publication showed no understanding of the constraints on city governments regarding rundown properties, citing LB 45. While it would be most desirable for all property owners to keep their properties in peak condition, that is not the reality; thus, communities across the state are left with buildings which continue to deteriorate. 02/28/2024 05:00 AM

Blue River Basin model project completed

After several years of development, the Blue River Basin model is complete and is already being used to evaluate possible water use impacts in the Upper Big Blue Natural Resources District. Given the drought conditions in much of the district in the last growing season, this resource is especially timely as it will help the NRD board to “protect water supply for all beneficial purposes,” one of the 12 areas of responsibility shared by all NRDs and dictated by state statute. 02/28/2024 05:00 AM

Demo work in Clay Center nearly complete

Demolition work on the north side of the Clay County Courthouse square was nearly complete late last week, as buildings owned by Joe Cooney came down over the course of the past three to four weeks. The building that once stood just east of the USDA Service Center office, shown here at the left in this photo, leaving just two buildings on that side of the square in Clay Center. The easternmost building collapsed in the late afternoon hours of Saturday, Oct. 14. Broken Arrow Excavating of Pleasant Dale razed the buildings, and cleared out the debris, changing the downtown landscape in Clay Center. The collapse put the Clay County Emergency Management office, along with the Clay Center Fire Department, with assistance from other area fire departments, as well as linemen from the South Central Public Power District, as well as Black Hills Energy to help secure the area following the collapse. 02/21/2024 05:00 AM

Bringing the border crisis under control

Bringing the border crisis under control

The crisis at our Southern Border is enormous, unprecedented, and is putting Americans at risk. According to United States Customs and Border Protection, more than 1 million migrant encounters have been recorded at the border since October 1, 2024—a mark reached faster than any previous fiscal year on record. To this point in Fiscal Year 2024, 50 individuals whose names appear in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Terrorist Screening Database have been stopped trying to enter the United States illegally. This is greater than the number of terrorist watchlist encounters at the border in FY17-FY22 combined. 02/14/2024 05:00 AM
