The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission announced Wednesday that firefighters from multiple agencies are getting ready for the Western Nebraska Engine Academy.&nbsp; That will include training exercises at Buffalo Creek Wildlife Management Area in the Wildcat Hills near Gering on Sept. 15-17.

Chris Becker, a Nebraska Game and Parks Commission wildlife biologist, says hunters and others should be aware that burning will occur at various locations on the property and should take that into consideration if they plan to visit the wildlife area this weekend.

Becker said the annual event readies personnel for fighting fire while providing the benefits of prescribed burning. Land managers in western Nebraska often use prescribed burning to improve diversity of desirable plants and lessen the risk of catastrophic wildfire.

More information about the academy may be obtained by contacting the Gering Fire Department at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:firedept@gering.org">firedept@gering.org</a>&nbsp;or 308-436-2441.

The Alliance Bulldogs came into their road showdown with undefeated Bayard on Tuesday night looking for a win to jump start their season, but the Tigers were able to hold on in five sets 3-2, (12-25, 22-25, 25-23, 25-21, 13-15)

The Bulldogs had another slow start that put them in a difficult position down two sets against one of the better teams in Western Nebraska, if not the state in Bayard.

Looking at the match, every set besides the first was extremely close, with the 2nd set being decided by three points while the next three sets were all decided by two.

&nbsp;I n a look at how the season has gone so far, Alliance had won five in a row in a tournament in Wyoming after starting the season with a loss at Gering, but the loss for Alliance drops the Bulldogs to 5-6 on the year and is their 5th straight loss.&nbsp; Alliance will look to get on track in a match at Sidney on Thursday.

The Nebraska State Patrol is investigating a crash that involved a school bus on Tuesday morning on Highway 2 east of Palmyra. Several students were injured in the crash. 

At approximately 7:35 a.m. Tuesday, NSP received a report of a crash involving a school bus approximately one mile east of Palmyra. Troopers, Otoe County Sheriff’s Deputies, and rescue crews from Palmyra, Douglas, Syracuse, and Nebraska City all responded. 

Upon arrival, several students were found with mostly minor injuries. All nine students aboard the bus were transported to Bryan Health Center West Campus with what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries. The students were all between ages 5 and 14. Parents were reunited with their kids at the hospital. Both drivers involved were also transported with non-life-threatening injuries.

Preliminary investigation shows that the bus was westbound on Highway 2 when it was slowing to turn onto a driveway. A westbound Ford F-150 then failed to slow down and rear-ended the bus causing it to roll onto its side. NSP is investigating the crash. That investigation is ongoing.

The 2023 Nebraska Extension Fall Seed Guide is now available at cropwatch.unl/varietytest. The online guide has details on yield, protein, test weight, ratings for disease characteristics, location summaries, and weather information.

A dry fall contributed to poor fall growth and initial stand, confounded by an incredibly cold winter across the state. Significant freezing temperatures and blizzards occurred in December, led to several regions being affected by winterkill and blowouts, and the variety trials at Lancaster, Jefferson, and Clay counties were lost. Despite a delayed start to spring, timely rains in the western part of the state rescued the crop, and some fields saw extremely good yields.&nbsp;

The data in the Fall Seed Guide provides information on individual, regional, and multi-year performance of varieties available to growers as well as sneak peeks into experimental varieties being developed by Dr. Katherine Frels and the UNL Small Grains Breeding Program and other seed industry partners. Preparations and planting are already underway for the 2024 Winter Wheat Variety Trials. Updates to the testing include the addition of an irrigated trial in Scotts Bluff County. More than 70 varieties will be tested at locations across the state in 2023-2024.

Members of the Crops Testing Team can be reached via email with questions regarding the results and interpretation at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:ccreech2@unl.edu">ccreech2@unl.edu</a>,&nbsp;<a href="mailto:bmaust2@unl.edu">bmaust2@unl.edu</a>, or&nbsp;<a href="mailto:aeasterly2@unl.edu">aeasterly2@unl.edu</a>.

Testing would not be possible without the support of our cooperators across the state, who graciously share land to conduct the trials, host field tours, and manage the sites for high-quality data. We would also like to thank the Agricultural Research Division, Nebraska Wheat Board, UNL Extension, and the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture.

&nbsp;By Nebraska Attorney General’s Office

Lincoln— Attorney General Mike Hilgers announced today a settlement with Tempoe, LLC, resolving a multistate investigation into Tempoe’s advertising and leasing to consumers through retailers across the nation. The multistate investigation—which included 41 states and the District of Columbia—revealed that Tempoe’s marketing and sales practices often misled consumers to believe they were signing up for an installment plan or credit sale when, in reality, they were entering into a lease agreement. The complicated structure and the lack of required disclosures of the lease agreements caused more confusion, often resulting in consumers paying 2-3 times the purchase price of the product or service.

Through this settlement, Tempoe is permanently banned from engaging in future consumer leasing activities. All existing leases will be canceled, and consumers may retain the leased merchandise in their possession without any further financial obligation to Tempoe – resulting in approximately $33 million of “in-kind” financial relief to consumers nationwide. Additionally, Tempoe shall not provide negative information regarding lessees to any consumer reporting agency.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Consumers with existing leases do not need to take any action as Tempoe has automatically canceled their account(s) as a result of this settlement.

Finally, as part of this settlement, Tempoe will pay $2 million: $1 million to the states and jurisdictions participating in this settlement and $1 million to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which has agreed to a parallel settlement resolving the same alleged misconduct.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Forty-one (41) states and the District of Columbia are participating in the settlement. The multistate Executive Committee was comprised of Nebraska, Iowa, Tennessee, Illinois, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Texas, which led the multistate group consisting of Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Keeping Alliance beautiful takes into account what you see – well-kept streets, parks and yards, and what you do not see – litter, graffiti and vandalism. Other parts of the environment are invisible yet influence our daily lives.

The air we breathe comes to mind whenever the wind blows dirt, pollen or, more often than we like, smoke from far off wildfires. Western Nebraska skies are not exempt from global changes in the atmosphere either. Even when we strive to cut down on our individual carbon footprint, greenhouse gasses continue to rise. A dramatic commitment to switching from fossil fuels to renewables worldwide coupled with removing existing carbon dioxide from the air could turn the tide.

News stories over recent weeks and months have described a technology that promises to be a viable method for pulling out carbon dioxide. This gas (from what I found) only accounts for .3 to .4 percent of Earth’s atmosphere, yet holds the heat of the sun’s rays longer than nitrogen (78 percent) and oxygen (20.9 percent). The method is called direct air capture, which employs chemical reactions to remove the gas for storage underground or for use in products including fuel, plastic and concrete.

It is too early to tell what magnitude direct air capture would need to attain for a shift in global warming, however private, corporate and government support is promising. The Department of Energy, as part of the Biden Administration’s Investing in America agenda, announced last month as much as $1.2 billion to develop two commercial-scale direct air capture facilities in Texas and Louisiana. Combined, the sites expect to remove 2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere annually. This is part of the president’s goal for a net-zero global economy by 2050. The DOE estimates achieving the goal would mean removing somewhere between 400 million and 1.8 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide annually from the atmosphere and emissions sources by 2050, according to a news release.

There was a nagging “too good to be true” feeling reading about the government’s support. Both facilities mentioned will store the gas securely underground. On the other hand, the oil industry is interested in using the carbon dioxide to aid in producing more crude. While this cuts down on energy it still produces fossil fuels that will be burnt and release greenhouse gasses.

As technology advances, units are expected to be portable – able to fit into a shipping container for transport and glean one ton a day of carbon dioxide a day. The process, though, requires significant energy. I think these units should be powered by renewable sources to ensure the process is as green as possible. Every sizeable town, including Alliance, could operate a unit as part of the municipal infrastructure. A whole industry would accompany the building and operating of direct air capture units with a need to also transport and store the gas.

One article I came across compared this technology to how trees take in carbon dioxide. We always should be open minded when it comes to the environment. New developments may be what it takes to tip the balance or reach net-zero by 2050, but always keep in mind what you can do. We can all reduce, reuse and recycle. Plant a tree, walk instead of drive. Take an idea for a healthier planet and spread it around.

The campaign features high school athletes in the Panhandle Prep magazine from around the region who commit to saying no to the harmful effects of tobacco and how it can affect their performances in their activities.

A campaign on PPHD’s Facebook page featured four athletes from around the Panhandle who are leading the charge in their schools and communities on vowing to not use tobacco or vape products. The athletes highlighted included:

· Matthias Benzel of Alliance, “I choose not to vape or use tobacco to stay clear minded and on top of my game.”

· Sadie Davis of Gering, “I have too much going on to worry about the negative effects of smoking and vaping. I am far too busy to follow along with the addictive nature of vaping and smoking.”

· Olivia Loomis-Goltl of Bridgeport, “I choose to be tobacco free so that my teammates can depend on me to be my best in every game and so that I can continue to improve each competition.”

· Landon Amundsen of Scottsbluff, “Athletics is an important part of my life. In order to compete at a high level, I want to be at peak physical condition, which means spending time in the gym/weight room and avoiding tobacco, vaping, drugs, and alcohol.”

Each of these athletes had a post on the PPHD Facebook page and the athlete that got most “likes” on the original post on Facebook would get a $250 scholarship courtesy of PPHD. The athlete with the most “likes” for the fall season was Landon Amundsen of Scottsbluff.

As of 2020, 4.2% of Nebraska high school students smoke and 17.1% use e-cigarettes. In the last 2 years alone, vaping increased by 218% among middle schoolers and 135% among high schoolers. Teens who vape are now 3x more likely than non-vapors to become daily cigarette smokers.

Nicotine increases your heart rate, tenses your muscles, and decreases the oxygen to your brain, despite a reputation for 'relieving stress.' In young people, 5 mg of nicotine a day is enough to establish a nicotine addiction.

Young people also face increased instances of anxiety and depression and while it has always been thought that nicotine is a stress reducer, this is a common myth. In a study published by the Journal of American Medical Association, current e-cigarette users have double the odds of having a diagnosis of depression compared to those who have never vaped. Nicotine use in general can increase stress levels.

Students are the target of the tobacco industry and their harmful marketing tactics are creating new generations of tobacco users. By standing up to these tactics, area student athletes have the potential to be great leaders in their communities to help stop other students from becoming lifelong tobacco users.

PPHD highlights area athletes who steer clear of tobacco

By TENA L. COOK, MARKETING COORDINATOR Chadron State College

CHADRON – During its first year of operation, the Dr. Lois Veath Planetarium in the Math Science Center of Innovative Learning (COIL) served 2,404 people, according to Kinsley Mason, an Instructor in Physical Sciences who will be managing the planetarium for Chadron State College this academic year. The attendance was more than double the final year the planetarium operated in Math Science before its renovation and expansion.

The highest month of attendance between Sept. 2022 and July 2023 was April 2023 with 612 people.&nbsp;Attendance for Friday sessions was 486. These Friday programs were designed to attract K-12 students on afternoons when Chadron Public Schools dismissed students early. Additionally, the planetarium hosted 43 school visits from Nebraska, Wyoming, South Dakota, and one student group from Alaska.

Mason said the Earth, Moon, and Sun show was the most popular with younger crowds, while Oasis In Space,&nbsp;a tour of the solar system with a focus on sources of water throughout our solar system,&nbsp;was popular with the general public.

“I had so many people tell me they either worked in the old planetarium or had visited it and how beautiful our new facilities are. A lot of them had never been in a 360-degree theater before and it really blew them away. I also received compliments on the public speaking abilities of our student workers.&nbsp;They were such a great help and now have the experience to make this year even better,” Mason said.

Carrie Drake of Omaha and Gunnar Wainscott of Newcastle, Wyoming, ran the majority of the shows. Alec Langan of McCook, Nebraska, a member of the Familia club, presented the two shows available in Spanish.

The first-year success of the planetarium is fostering conversations with various potential partners for more collaborative events like the guitar ensemble performance April 28.

“That was such a pleasure and the turnout exceeded expectations. We loved it so much that we have already booked the guitar ensemble for the spring 2024 semester. I am also bringing back wellness events for students where we have guided meditations and allow them to sit and unwind while listening&nbsp;to music and watching visuals on the dome,” Mason said.

Other planned events include the second Creepy COIL Crawl on Halloween.&nbsp;During the inaugural event last year, faculty, staff, and students dressed up, provided treats, and hosted games for children.

Mason said the&nbsp;handicapped accessibility&nbsp;features of the new planetarium have been appreciated by visitors.

“Parents of younger kiddos can wheel them and their siblings right up to the door. It has also helped folks in wheelchairs or with mobility issues like crutches feel comfortable coming to our shows,” Mason said.

Mason said with the help of the One Sky Project and the Fiske Planetarium at CU-Boulder, the planetarium is adding the following shows that will premier during&nbsp;<a href="https://www.csc.edu/academics/sci/planetarium/" target="_blank">Free Fridays</a>: MUSCLES, One Sky Project, Forward! To the Moon, Worlds of Curiosity, Drifting North - The Arctic Pulse, 5000 Eyes: Mapping the Universe with DESI, and Cosmic Mashups.
