Each state in our nation has the opportunity to honor two great Americans hailing from their state with statues in the U.S. Capitol. When I was Governor, I had the privilege of signing legislation to change Nebraska’s statues and honor two tremendous Nebraskans: Chief Standing Bear and Willa Cather. This week as U.S. Senator, I am humbled to see that process come to fruition as we welcome the arrival of Willa Cather’s statue on June 7th.

Cather’s family moved to Nebraska at the age of nine, where she spent her&nbsp;formative&nbsp;years in Red Cloud. Upon reflecting on the impact of her family's move to Nebraska,&nbsp;Cather said,&nbsp;“By the end of the first autumn the shaggy grass country had gripped me with a passion that I have never been able to shake. It has been the happiness and curse of my life."

In 1890, after graduating high school at age 16, Cather&nbsp;enrolled&nbsp;at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Originally planning to study science and medicine&nbsp;at UNL,&nbsp;Cather’s ambitions quickly changed after seeing her first essay published. Later in her life, she described that as the launching pad of her&nbsp;success. Her classmates remember her as an intelligent, outspoken, opinionated, and talented person. Those characteristics led her to Pittsburgh to be the managing editor of a women’s magazine. While away from her home state, she honed her creative talents, writing and publishing a collection of short stories.

Cather had a career in the magazine industry for almost two decades, as she continued to develop her craft. She took the leap of faith to embark on a full-time writing career just months before her 38th&nbsp;birthday. In 1912,&nbsp;Cather published her first novel. Her second novel,&nbsp;O Pioneers,&nbsp;was published the next year,&nbsp;celebrating&nbsp;immigrant farmers and their desire to develop the prairie. This book launched Cather into the spotlight of American literature&nbsp;and brought&nbsp;much attention to her new and unique writing style.

Her most popular book,&nbsp;My Antonia,&nbsp;directly drew on her early life and followed&nbsp;an&nbsp;autobiographical theme&nbsp;through the eyes of Jim. The book was unanimously praised, and&nbsp;many,&nbsp;including&nbsp;Cather,&nbsp;claimed&nbsp;it as her&nbsp;greatest work.

Cather&nbsp;made waves again&nbsp;when she traded&nbsp;epic autobiographical novels for&nbsp;a&nbsp;streak of post-war novels.&nbsp;One of Ours&nbsp;told&nbsp;the story of her cousin’s experience fighting in the war, and was her most impactful.&nbsp;It earned tremendous praise from soldiers for the accurate depiction of&nbsp;their&nbsp;experiences, and would earn&nbsp;Cather a Pulitzer Prize.

Willa Cather epitomizes the Nebraska values we hold so dearly –&nbsp;a focus on family, a love of&nbsp;learning,&nbsp;the&nbsp;power&nbsp;of our experiences to shape us, and optimism&nbsp;for the future. She used our state and&nbsp;the&nbsp;varied&nbsp;experiences of our people&nbsp;to tell epic and innovative stories that are still revered by millions.&nbsp;She&nbsp;was a pioneer&nbsp;who&nbsp;redefined success and broke barriers. Cather’s headstone reads, “That is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great."&nbsp;Cather’s legacy is great, indeed. I am pleased that she will now be representing Nebraska inside our United States Capitol for years to come.

Along with Senator Fischer and the rest of my colleagues in the Nebraska delegation, my team and I are here to serve you.&nbsp;Contact my team and I anytime&nbsp;by phone at&nbsp;202-224-4224&nbsp;or on my website&nbsp;at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ricketts.senate.gov/contact" target="_blank">www.ricketts.senate.gov/contact</a>.&nbsp;I am honored to serve our great state and will continue&nbsp;to&nbsp;work to protect the Good Life from Washington overreach.

LINCOLN, NEB. — Summer fun is in full swing across Nebraska! As Nebraskans and visitors enjoy recreation areas across the state, troopers will be partnering with local agencies and Nebraska Game and Parks officers to keep Nebraska’s state recreation areas safe throughout the summer months.

“Nebraska’s lakes and rec areas have a lot to offer,” said Colonel John Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “Whether you’re boating, swimming, fishing, or enjoying the beach, please do so safely and follow the laws and guidelines for your rec area. And as you travel to and from your spot at the lake, always have a sober driver.”

Over Memorial Day Weekend, troopers performed high-visibility patrols in the areas around Lake McConaughy and Harlan County Reservoir. Additional campaigns will take place at highly trafficked recreation areas throughout the summer.

From June 1 through August 27, troopers will be patrolling around recreation areas in southeast Nebraska as part of this summer’s effort. During these campaigns, troopers will partner with Nebraska Game and Parks officers for boat patrols and perform high-visibility patrols monitoring for impaired drivers.

This effort is made possible thanks in part to grant funding from the Nebraska Department of Transportation – Highway Safety Office.

The Alliance High School Band will perform at the Peach Bowl, College Football Game, December 29 in Atlanta Georgia.&nbsp; A total of 97 Band Members along with Instructors, Parents and Sponsors will travel to Atlanta and take part in the Peach Bowl Parade and other activities.&nbsp; 

The Band Members have been busy already, hosting fundraisers and have several more events planned.&nbsp; The goal is to raise 100% of the money needed for the trip.&nbsp; The Band recently received a $10,000 donation from Burlington Northern/Santa Fe Railroad, and at last report had raised around $73,000, which is about half of the amount needed.&nbsp;&nbsp;

HEMINGFORD – The Hemingford Rural Fire Protection District was the recipient of a $20,000 grant courtesy of WESTCO and the CHS Seeds for Stewardship Grant Program. The funds will greatly support the department’s ongoing efforts to enhance emergency response capabilities and ensure the safety of the Hemingford community and surrounding area.

WESTCO was directly impacted by two fires in 2022 in which HRFPD assisted, including a large fire at WESTCO’s Alliance Tire Center in June and a fire at the New Alliance facility in September.

WESTCO President and CEO David Briggs said, “WESTCO is delighted to present this grant to the Hemingford Rural Fire Protection District. They play a crucial role in safeguarding our community, and we are happy to support their dedicated and selfless service. WESTCO extends its thanks to CHS and the Seeds for Stewardship Grant Program. By combining our resources, we are providing double the impact to our area and demonstrating the cooperative spirit.”

The CHS Seeds for Stewardship Grant Program is an initiative aimed at supporting rural communities and organizations across the nation. Through strategic partnerships and targeted grants, the program seeks to foster sustainable practices, improve safety, and promote social well-being.

Alliance – During the system wide power outage on Sunday, May 21st, the City of Alliance is anticipating running the generators at 3rd and Cody.

As a result of this outage water towers and pumps will also be without power; we advise citizens to conserve water to ensure adequate fire protection.

This outage is to install new hardware on the switch that feeds the City of Alliance, and is essential for the long term health of the system.

For more information, contact Electric Superintendent, Kirby Bridge at 308-762-1907.
