PPHD: Panhandle virus risk dial moves to red, severe risk of COVID spread

LINCOLN – Resident Nebraska disabled veterans now may apply for a lifetime vehicle park entry permit at no charge.

Thanks to the passage of LB 770 by the Legislature, introduced by Sen. Tim Gragert from Creighton, a permit will be issued if the veteran:

• was discharged or separated with a characterization of honorable or general; and

• has been deemed 50 percent or more disabled as a result of military service or receives a Veterans Administration pension as a result of permanent, non-service-related disability.

Application forms are available at&nbsp;<a href="https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDExMDkuMzAxMTA3MDEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwOi8vb3V0ZG9vcm5lYnJhc2thLmdvdi8ifQ.56-bQl_0ebJC5gX_69pYrU-woB62n3phSg1fPBhgFuo/s/497221906/br/88221297624-l" target="_blank">OutdoorNebraska.org</a>&nbsp;or any Nebraska Game and Parks Commission office. Forms must be signed by a Veteran Service officer. Signed forms can be returned to Game and Parks or mailed to: Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, P.O. Box 30370, Lincoln, NE 68503-0370. The Commission will begin issuing permits on Nov. 16.

Those who already have disabled hunt and fish combination permits are prequalified for the veteran lifetime park entry permit but still must submit an application.

“We owe all of our veterans a debt of gratitude for their sacrifices in their service to our nation,” said Game and Parks Director Jim Douglas. “We’re thrilled we have such wonderful state park areas for them to enjoy.”

Similar to Game and Parks’ annual vehicle park entry permit, the lifetime permit is a windshield sticker but of a unique design. Disabled veterans can get one free lifetime vehicle park entry permit. A park entry permit is required of each vehicle entering a Nebraska state park, state recreation area or state historical park.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts has announced new restrictions requiring masks in some circumstances to slow the spread of the coronavirus, but he still rejects the idea of a statewide mask mandate.

 Ricketts said Monday that masks will be required at businesses where employees have close contact with customers for more than 15 minutes, such as salons and massage parlors. 

At bars, masks will be required when people aren’t drinking or eating. 

The state set another record Sunday when 794 patients were hospitalized with COVID-19, a more than doubling of virus-related hospitalizations in three weeks.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The number of people hospitalized with the coronavirus in Nebraska continues to increase steadily. The state said another new record was set Sunday when 794 were hospitalized with COVID-19. That number has more than doubled over the past three weeks as cases continued to surge in the state. Nebraska reported 1,574 new cases Sunday to give the state 83,969 total cases since the pandemic began. The state's online virus tracker said the number of deaths linked to the virus remained unchanged at 703 Sunday. The rate of new virus cases in the state remained the seventh-highest in the nation on Sunday

Nebraska virus hospitalizations continue to set records

LINCOLN, Neb. -- As kids and parents navigate the uncertain territory of being back in school during a pandemic, a new&nbsp;<a href="https://edarxiv.org/vsx4q/" target="_blank">University of Nebraska-Lincoln study</a>&nbsp;shows elementary teachers nationwide believe just 3 out of 5 of their students were prepared to advance to the next grade level after schools shut down during the health emergency last spring. Report co-author Marc Goodrich, assistant professor at the university, said just one-third of teachers were able to hold daily virtual meetings in real time with students, and most had to ask kids to practice math and reading skills on their own. "But that's not a substitute for direct instruction, especially for the students who are struggling to acquire reading or math skills," Goodrich said. "Without that sort of face-to-face interaction, a lot of students might continue to fall behind." School closures were in sync with CDC guidelines for kids to avoid contracting and spreading COVID-19 by staying at least 6 feet apart, not possible in most classrooms. But closures also exposed a profound digital divide across the country, with many kids unable to attend class because they didn't have internet access or computers. As many as 11 million students in grades K-5 received no instruction at all for up to 22 weeks of the school year. Despite tremendous efforts by schools and teachers to provide instructional opportunities for students, Goodrich said the research suggests remote learning restricts access to high-quality education, especially for the most vulnerable students. He noted that even before the pandemic, students from wealthier families had higher academic achievement than disadvantaged students, and the health crisis amplified those disparities. "The lack of regular internet access, and the lack of opportunities to engage in live instruction that we saw - that were disproportionately affecting students from low-income backgrounds more - might lead to achievement gaps widening," he said. Researchers found nearly 7 in 10 teachers did not believe remote instruction was effective, or were unsure about its effectiveness. Goodrich said his team plans to do multiple follow-up surveys throughout the school year to continue to track how COVID-19 is impacting education.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Authorities are investigating the death of an Iowa inmate who was found unresponsive and covered with a sheet on his cell floor at the State Penitentiary in Lincoln.

CHADRON – Chadron State College Social Work seniors Taylee Neefe of Hemingford, Neb., Katelyn Wheeler of Imperial, Neb., and Celeste Cardona of Mitchell, Neb., are among the 11 students making final preparations to distribute LGBTQ+ informational videos on flash drives next week as part of their class (SW 435). The original videos are customized for different audiences, including students in elementary, middle, and high schools, their parents, and educators. The project is a socially distanced option that takes the place of an annual&nbsp;<a href="https://www.csc.edu/news/story.csc?article=12368" target="_blank">Social Work&nbsp;</a>conference.

Cardona said educating rural communities has been the main goal of the group.

“As social workers, we want to advocate for several different groups. You’re never educated enough on any topic. What you may have thought 20 years ago about LGBTQ-plus has&nbsp;changed. The definitions, the terms, everything behind it,” Cardona said.

Wheeler said she was initially unprepared for the project.

“I think it's helped me open my eyes a little bit more and now I know how to talk better with others to educate them,” Wheeler said.

The students have contacted educators in western Nebraska and their hometowns about the project, and plan to distribute flash drives to those who are interested. Anyone who would like a flash drive may email Social Work Professor Bruce Hoem at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:bhoem@csc.edu" target="_blank">bhoem@csc.edu</a>.

In addition to learning about the topic from counselors and other resources, the Social Work seniors have worked to improve their technical recording skills.

“It’s definitely been hands-on for us. We had to come up with our scenarios or interviews. Then on top of that we learned how to take and edit videos which is something I don’t think any of us thought we were going to be doing when we started planning the conference back in January. It’s way out of our comfort zone but we like to push ourselves,” Neefe said.&nbsp;

Other members of the class are Makayla Brown of Hershey, Neb., Katlyn Buss of Peetz, Colo., Caprise Cominiello of Burlington, Colo., Kara DeCrocker of Minatare, Neb., Alyssa Jensen of Spearfish, S.D., Lydia Haselhorst of Randolph, Neb., Paola Rodriguez of Marquette, Neb., and Ariel Simbana of Ridgewood, N.Y.
