CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming lawmakers are pursuing two possible hate crimes bills for next year’s legislative session. 

One bill to be drafted after Tuesday's Joint Judiciary Committee meeting would require law enforcement to report hate crimes. 

The other would extend protections to more groups. 

At least 47 states have adopted hate crimes legislation since the murder of gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard in 1998. 

The Casper Star-Tribune reports that national groups such as the Brennan Center for Justice do not classify Wyoming as having a hate crime law, though the American Civil Liberties Union does.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Some Nebraska lawmakers are calling for changes in how the state picks contractors, after a child welfare service that succeeded in winning a contract with an unusually low bid failed to deliver and cost taxpayers millions of dollars. 

Members of a special legislative committee said Friday that they’d like to see changes in the process to ensure that bidders can reasonably deliver what they promise. 

Some lawmakers say they’d like to see more teeth in the appeals process.

 The committee was formed after the Kansas-based child welfare contractor, St. Francis Ministries, won the Nebraska job in 2019 by offering to do it for less than 60% of the bid an Omaha agency that had served the state since 2010.

LINCOLN, Neb.-Governor Pete Ricketts announced that Nebraska would be sending Nebraska State Patrol troopers to Texas in response to a request for support in managing the ongoing crisis in communities along the border of the United States and Mexico.

“Nebraska is stepping up to help Texas respond to the ongoing crisis on their border with Mexico,” said Governor Ricketts.&nbsp; “The disastrous policies of the Biden-Harris Administration created an immigration crisis on the border.&nbsp; While the federal government has fallen short in its response, Nebraska is happy to step up to provide assistance to Texas as they work to protect their communities and keep people safe.”

Nebraska is responding to a request for assistance from emergency management officials in the State of Texas.&nbsp; The request was made through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact, which is a partnership of state emergency management agencies.

The EMAC request follows the disaster declaration issued by Texas Governor Greg Abbott on June 1st&nbsp;in response to the emergency situation in many communities along the border.

A team of approximately 25 Nebraska State Patrol troopers will travel to Del Rio, Texas later this month where they will partner with the Texas Department of Public Safety to provide law enforcement assistance. &nbsp;The team’s deployment will last no longer than 16 days.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas will now let people carry handguns without first getting a background check and training. 

It's the latest and largest on a growing list of states to roll back permitting requirements for carrying guns in public. 

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott held a ceremonial bill signing at the Alamo in San Antonio on Thursday.

 He signed the bill over the objections of law enforcement groups who say the change will endanger the public and police. 

It’s backed by gun rights groups including the National Rifle Association.

 Tennessee, Utah and Iowa have passed similar bills this year, and GOP-controlled legislatures in Pennsylvania and Ohio are considering similar measures.

LINCOLN – Nebraska has many native pollinators, including more than 200 species of butterflies alone. Celebrate the role they play during Nebraska Pollinator Week this June 21- 27.

Through the pollination of crops, insect pollinators add more than $217 billion to the worldwide economy. Species also pollinate more than 180,000 plant species worldwide – ensuring ecosystems produce food for countless other species, including pheasants, songbirds and mammals.

Nebraska Pollinator Week is the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission’s statewide focus on the international Pollinator Week effort. Pollinator Week, in Nebraska and internationally, is an effort to celebrate and raise awareness about pollinators and their conservation.

The public is encouraged to take part in virtual and public events around Nebraska. A list of these events can be found at&nbsp;<a href="https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMTA2MTYuNDIwMjMyMzEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5uZWJyYXNrYXBvbGxpbmF0b3J3ZWVrLm9yZy9ldmVudHMifQ.zOnli1nIfJ1fhoxpee-VMOZyBa2Cjv2AEOtO9L4qwjg/s/497221906/br/108028592188-l" target="_blank">nebraskapollinatorweek.org/events</a>.

Celebrate Nebraska Pollinator Week, June 21- 27

LINCOLN – In an effort to provide better customer service, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is staggering the beginning sale dates for big game permits.

Staggering the sale dates will help the electronic permitting system run more efficiently during high-use periods. In addition, Game and Parks has added software to the system that puts online permit buyers in a purchasing queue for processing during high-use periods to maintain traffic load.

Permits with unlimited quotas will be available first, then permits with limited quotas will become available. Unlike in past years, permit buyers who choose to buy an unlimited quota permit early will not be able to purchase a limited quota permit at the same time.

Any forfeited draw permits will be offered to the next unsuccessful applicant in the drawing results.

Beginning at 1 p.m. CDT July 26, all unlimited-quota 2021 deer and antelope permits may be purchased online or at Game and Parks permitting offices.

Beginning at 1 p.m. CDT Aug. 2, residents and nonresidents may purchase any limited quota deer permits.

Beginning at 1 p.m. CDT Aug. 3, residents, nonresidents and eligible resident and nonresident landowners may purchase any limited quota antelope permits.

Beginning at 1 p.m. CDT Aug. 4, residents may purchase any remaining general elk permits. At that same date and time, eligible resident and nonresident landowners may purchase any remaining landowner elk permits through Game and Parks offices at Alliance, North Platte or Bassett.

“Nebraska has tremendous big game hunting opportunities across the state, and it is a great pastime. We’re happy hunters are excited to get out in the field this fall,” said Alicia Hardin, Wildlife Division Administrator for Game and Parks.

Game and Parks staggering dates for big game permit purchases

By Scott Carlson-North Platte Post

VALENTINE, Neb.-The life of a Nebraska Sandhills cowboy is a life that few can fathom. These cowboys are the unsung heroes. We love to eat the products their blood, sweat, and tears produced, but we seldom reflect on what it took to bring that food to our tables.

One of the greatest honors a Sandhills cowboy and their families can receive is induction into the Nebraska Sandhills Cowboy Hall of Fame.

Organizers said there were 300 tickets sold to this year's 16th annual banquet and 278 prime rib meals were served on June 5 at the Valentine Fairgrounds 4-H building.

But the highlight of the evening was the induction of nine into the NSCHF.


“COVID prevented us honoring the 2020 inductees last year, so they
were sent their award plaque without fanfare, which was just not
right; so, this year, we honored both the 2021 inductees and invited
the 2020 inductees also to come and be properly recognized as well," said Rod Palmer, an Ainsworth lawyer and rancher who started the
process of forming&nbsp;the NSCHF in 2006.&nbsp;
“I and others had thought it was long overdue, so I looked at the
Hall of Fames in the Dakotas, and Texas and fashioned ours after
them. It began with a board of directors of cowboy savvy men, one
each representing 14 Sandhills counties.

"In 2012 we expanded the counties to 20. Our website&nbsp;tells of our history, and the inductees we have honored,
including their biographies and photos.  With the nine inductees in
2021, the total is 152, nine of them women," said Palmer.

Palmer said the mission of the NSCHF is to recognize those individuals who have made significant contributions to the Western lifestyle or horse culture in the areas of competition, business, or the support
of rodeo in the Sandhills of Nebraska.

Andy Anderson and Sybil Malmberg-Berdt-Sherman County

Clarence Lanka and Chubby Dailey-Logan County

Bill Thurston, Sally Lowe Becker, Dan Powles, and David Sheets-Grant County

Bud Bonifield and Dr. Leonard "Buzz" DeNaeyer, DDS-Cherry County

&nbsp; CHADRON, Neb. -- June 17, 2021 --&nbsp;Following approval from the Nebraska State College System Board of Trustees, Chadron State College has officially added women's wrestling to its athletics' program. With women's wrestling, the first such collegiate program in Nebraska, CSC will sponsor 14 sports. Women's wrestling, a winter sport, will begin competition in 2021. A search for a head coach is underway. "Chadron State College is proud to add women's wrestling," said CSC President&nbsp;Dr. Randy Rhine. "The addition of this program supports CSC's continued movement toward equity on campus with the addition of another women's sport." CSC will join approximately 28 other NCAA institutions that sponsored the sport in 2020-21. Deemed an Emerging Sport in all three NCAA divisions, women's wrestling is expected to appear at as many as 44 NCAA schools this fall. Under the current guidelines for the NCAA Emerging Sports for Women Program, a sport may establish a National Collegiate Championship or a divisional championship if at least 40 NCAA institutions sponsor the sport at the varsity level. "We're excited to be on the leading edge of this Emerging Sport," said Athletics Director Joel Smith. "Adding women's wrestling will enrich the life of our campus and create new academic opportunities for our community and our region." CSC has a longstanding wrestling tradition dating back to 1958. CSC has produced four national champions, 48 All-Americans, and won 371 dual matches. From 1969-2020, CSC's wrestling team had at least one qualifier at national tournaments. CSC also won a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference championship in 1994-95. "Women's wrestling is rapidly growing and it has made a big impact on the continued growth of our sport," said Head Men's Wrestling Coach&nbsp;Brett Hunter. "The addition of women's wrestling at Chadron State is a great thing for our institution and I'm excited that our administration noticed its importance and got this thing rolling. This is a huge win for our sport and Chadron State College".&nbsp; For information about supporting women's wrestling contact the Chadron State Foundation at 308-432-6366.&nbsp;&nbsp;
