LINCOLN&nbsp;– Governor Pete Ricketts issued the following statement in observance of Independence Day:

“This Independence Day marks 246 years since the birth of the United States.&nbsp; On the Fourth of July, we light the sky with fireworks to celebrate our nation’s founding.&nbsp; The United States endures as the greatest country on earth.&nbsp; We’re blessed to live in a Republic where we enjoy the benefits of liberty.”

“As we display the U.S. flag this holiday weekend, we’re reminded of the brave Americans who’ve sacrificed through the years to preserve our Republic.&nbsp; We also give thanks for the men and women actively serving in our military on missions around the world.”

“This Fourth of July, let’s remember that freedom isn’t something we passively receive.&nbsp; It’s something we achieve together by taking on the responsibilities of citizenship.&nbsp; In the words of Dwight D. Eisenhower, ‘The winning of freedom is not to be compared to the winning of a game—with the victory recorded forever in history. &nbsp;Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirits of men and so must be daily earned and refreshed.’”

“Over the Fourth of July weekend, let’s reflect on these words as we spend time with family and friends celebrating America.”

“Susanne, the kids, and I wish everyone an enjoyable Independence Day. &nbsp;If you’re traveling, be sure to buckle up, avoid driving if you’ve been drinking, and use caution around construction zones.”

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is inviting the public to participate in its annual summer turkey survey July 1-Aug. 31.

The survey provides useful estimates about annual production by wild turkey hens and how many poults, or young turkeys, survive the summer brood-rearing period. These records and observations inform management decisions regarding wild turkeys, their population size and habitat needs.

During July and August, survey participants are asked to record all turkeys they see. Visit outdoornebraska.gov/turkeybroodsurvey for instructions and the survey link. The link can be bookmarked on a phone for easy use in the field.

“The results of this survey have been really important in helping us understand our turkey populations,” said Luke Meduna, Game and Parks’ big game program manager. “While we have seen declines in turkey numbers across the state, brood sizes, hen, poult and tom ratios in recent years have remained consistent with historic rates.”

Denver, CO&nbsp;JUNE 29, 2022&nbsp;—Independence Day is just ahead, and your plans might include fireworks displays, a backyard picnic, or perhaps fun at the reservoir. The American Red Cross of Wyoming offers these tips so you can enjoy a fun-packed, safe holiday.&nbsp;

“We’re all looking forward to the 4th&nbsp;of July holiday. It’s a time for fun with friends and family,” said Gino Greco,&nbsp;Chief Executive Officer of the American Red Cross of Colorado and Wyoming. “We here at the Red Cross want everyone to enjoy their celebration and to be safe.”&nbsp;

The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend a public firework show put on by professionals. Stay at least 500 feet away from the show. Many states outlaw most fireworks. Leave any area immediately where untrained amateurs are using fireworks. If you are setting fireworks off at home, follow these safety steps:&nbsp;

Watch the weather and get out of the water at the first sign of lightning or the rumble of thunder. Stay indoors and away from water for 30 minutes after the last lightning flashes or thunder roars.

LINCOLN, NEB.&nbsp; — The Nebraska State Patrol has been honored by Stop Stick Ltd. for the 2021 “Hit of the Year”. The award is presented annually for an exceptional stop stick deployment that results in the safe conclusion of a pursuit.

On Thursday, Stop Stick representatives presented the award to Trooper John Lewis for his successful deployment of stop sticks during a pursuit with a man suspected of shooting Omaha Police Officer Jeffrey Wittstruck on March 21, 2021. Trooper Lewis’ deployment was chosen out of more than 4,000 stop stick deployments in 2021.

“The apprehension of this suspect was imperative, and it took exceptional teamwork from many troopers, officers, and deputies,” said Colonel John Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “Part of that team effort was an unbelievable stop stick deployment by Trooper Lewis. If the suspect hadn’t hit the spikes, he could very well have entered Lincoln and put even more members of the public in danger.”

The pursuit began when a trooper observed the suspect vehicle at the Gretna interchange of I-80, at mile marker 432. When the suspect fled westbound on I-80, the trooper initiated a pursuit. During the pursuit, many divisions within NSP and other law enforcement agencies responded.

As the suspect vehicle approached the Waverly interchange, with speeds exceeding 130 miles per hour, Trooper Lewis was able to deploy the stop sticks and contacted the driver’s side tires of the vehicle, all while his view was completely blocked by a passing semi. The suspect vehicle then exited I-80 at the Waverly interchange and the suspect was then taken into custody minutes later without further incident.

“I don’t know how Trooper Lewis did it,” said Adam Freeman, National Sales Director for Stop Stick Ltd. “He had a tractor-trailer traveling parallel with the suspect vehicle and remarkably did not flatten any of the non-target vehicles.”

Earlier this year, NSP presented the actual stop stick used in the pursuit to Officer Wittstruck as he returned to work for the Omaha Police Department.

LINCOLN&nbsp; — Fireworks will fill the sky and vehicles will fill the roads during this busy Independence Day weekend. Nebraska State Troopers will be on patrol across the state to help maintain safe roadways and assist motorists in need of help.

“As we celebrate our great country this weekend, we encourage all people to be safe,” said Colonel Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “Make safe decisions on the road and with any Fourth of July celebrations. If any part of your weekend involves alcohol, make sure to have a sober driver lined-up.”

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that from 2016-2020, nearly 1,400 motorists were killed in crashes in the days surrounding the Fourth of July. 41% of those crashes involved a drunk driver.

NSP reminds all motorists to plan ahead, ensuring that you have a sober driver. There are many options to find a sober ride, including ridesharing apps, cab companies, designated drivers, or programs like AAA’s Tow to Go program, which is available all weekend by calling 855-2-TOW-2-GO.

“This weekend will be filled with parties, fireworks, and fun,” said Colonel Bolduc. “Let’s all work together to make sure that’s how we remember this Fourth of July, rather than for a tragedy on the roads.”

Troopers will be working overtime this weekend across the entire state thanks in part to a grant for $17,700 from the Nebraska Department of Transportation – Highway Safety Office. The effort runs from today through Tuesday, July 5.

MILLS, Wyo.—&nbsp;The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has been notified of a breach of the Interstate Canal located west of the town of Lingle, in southeast Wyoming, which occurred on the evening of June 30 and the morning of July 1, 2022. At the time of breach, the canal was diverting approximately 1800 cubic-feet-per-second. No injuries occurred as a result of this breach. &nbsp;

“The Pathfinder Irrigation District and Reclamation, are assessing the situation,” said Lyle D. Myler, Wyoming Area Office Manager. “We are responding as quickly and as safely as possible to return the canal to service.”&nbsp;

More than 90,000 irrigated acres will experience a temporary discontinuation of water service. Preliminary inspections estimated the canal can be returned to service in a matter of days. Meanwhile, Pathfinder Irrigation District&nbsp;is on site working to place rip-rap in the breach to minimize flooding and retain as much water in the canal as possible.&nbsp;

The canal is over 100 years old and was constructed during 1905-1915. It follows the contour of the land for 95 miles from Whalen Diversion Dam to Lake Alice and Lake Minatare Reservoirs northeast of Scotts Bluff, Nebraska. The Canal serves Lingle, Hill, and Pathfinder Irrigation Districts. &nbsp;

The National Weather Service in Cheyenne issued a flood advisory for Highway 26 in Goshen County. According to the NWS release, flows are heading toward Highway 26 and may follow the railroad tracks into Lingle. Minor flooding is expected in the area. The public is advised not to drive through flooded areas or standing water.&nbsp;

Details and updates on facilities and operations managed by Reclamation’s Wyoming Area Office will continue to be posted on our website at&nbsp;<a href="https://u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=4tNED-2FM8iDZJQyQ53jATUT-2FeL9w-2Fd6oT9W2bKNaHZl9pWw6NaEzP-2BkCkka9BXAm83zqi_c-2BOB8316sDaZ5paYyyKRh-2FC4v8rm7BY6VL-2BnXb9ELzfCH7RplZyesblRqEoV-2Bhl8XFPh1qn426wSzKfwlLR9gJWJpO-2FcFGOS2j6Z6aYO8l-2BtIIkUnu3w648r3gTtLUCETVp3xC2sou9knuu8QSp-2FNn9I2-2BcPYepA6JdWBBqs5hlYWiAhNxjhoEMXA36qQKpd82QUBEyNVb45vy-2FFFVxZilIR9v0KZuyPU41IWm6CegEjjhrx-2FFEnyjDBCyZYpr-2BSBwUwZRkdiZ6BdS-2FTGEWIE0hfGNxiVK1-2BuPpoasFjDxRvaQM0uF0KfFco07JSLoo2t7ngpc50gauYuANjZ3q2vi6qgLZjxmyxyRMw-2FpZ5eAo-3D" target="_blank">https://www.usbr.gov/gp/wyao/</a>.&nbsp;

Breach of Interstate Canal west of Lingle, WY

Acting United States Attorney Steven Russell announced that Tess Kleinknecht, 31, of Doniphan, Nebraska, was sentenced today to 77 months in prison for possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute by United States District Judge John M. Gerrard. Following her release from prison, Kleinknecht will serve four years on supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.

On July 30, 2020, law enforcement officers went to a Grand Island residence to arrest a person federally indicted on methamphetamine conspiracy charges. While there, investigators found Kleinknecht inside the residence, and obtained a search warrant for the residence. Investigators found three bags of methamphetamine along with cutting agent and distribution paraphernalia in Kleinknecht’s belongings. A lab analyst found there to be more than 5 grams of actual or pure methamphetamine.

This case was investigated by the Nebraska State Patrol and the Central Nebraska Drug and Safe Streets Task Force, which is made up of officers from the Grand Island Police Department, Hall County Sheriff, Hastings Police Department, Adams County Sheriff, Kearney Police Department, Buffalo County Sheriff, Nebraska State Patrol, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
