- Nearly 1,300 pounds of newly processed beef, mostly in the form of hamburger, is now in the hands of seven area non-profits feeding those in need throughout Scotts Bluff County.
The donation came from Bucking Horse Capital LLC, a new group of former and current residents wanting to give back to the community, and their initial project was purchasing three of the cattle sold through the Livestock Auction at the Scotts Bluff County Fair.
15-year-old Keegan Todd and 10-year-old Adeline Hayward, both of Scottsbluff, and 17-year-old Kori Conklin of Morrill, were on hand at Harvest Valley Church in Scottsbluff last Wednesday, getting an opportunity to see how the cattle each had raised and showed at the fair would help the needy.
Larry Massie with 11:13 Ministries, one of the seven non-profits that benefited from the donation, told them it was significant, saying "Your beef is going to impact probably close to 4 or 5,000 people, our neighbors in t...

- Early morning air service is back at Western Nebraska Regional Airport. The first flight under the new schedule took off from Scottsbluff at 5:42 Tuesday morning, marking the return of early departures designed to give travelers more time to make connections in Denver. And airport officials say the first flight was a strong start. Airport Director Raul Aguallo tells KNEB News that 40 passengers — and one baby — were on board for the inaugural early morning departure. Aguallo says there was only one minor hiccup, with the flight delayed by just a few minutes before takeoff. The return of the early schedule is a major convenience for Western Nebraska travelers, giving passengers an earlier start and improved access to connections through Denver and destinations across the country. The airport continues to offer weekday passenger service to Denver, operated by SkyWest for United Airlines.

This City-owned property, formerly the Blue J Feeds/Jirdon Agri Chemicals location just north of the UP railroad tracks, has a dilapidated grain elevator and office building on it, and City staff will be working to write grants to obtain funding for clean up which will require remediation of asbestos and contaminated soil.
Before starting this process, officials say it’s important to gain input from the community as to what the end use of the property should be, and the session will allow attendees to break into groups and brainstorm ideas for the redevelopment/revitalization of the location.

- A high level of nitrates found in a recent drinking water sample has prompted the Nebraska Department of Water, Environment and Energy to issue a Do Not Consume order for the City of Bayard’s municipal water supply.
According to a notice posted to the city’s website Tuesday, water from the city system is not to be used for consumption, including making ice, brushing teeth, food preparation and washing dishes.
Boiling the water will not treat the condition and can make nitrates more concentrated, so residents are being told to use alternative supplies, such as bottled water or water through a filtering system designed to remove nitrates.
The notice says a sample collected Aug. 27 came back with a nitrate level of 61.6 milligrams per liter, well over the 20 mg/L threshold considered an unreasonable risk to health.
It continues that systems with drinking water nitrates above the risk level must provide an alternate source of ...

- Agriculture took center stage during a U.S. Senate debate at the Nebraska State Fair as Republican Senator Pete Ricketts and Independent challenger Dan Osborn outlined competing visions for supporting the state’s farmers, ranchers and rural communities.
Both candidates agreed on one issue that has drawn concern across cattle country: President Donald Trump’s decision to temporarily waive tariffs and allow up to 300,000 metric tons of imported ground beef into the United States. Osborn called the move a mistake that could undercut Nebraska cattle producers as ranchers work to rebuild herds following drought and other challenges. Ricketts likewise opposed the short-term policy, arguing it creates uncertainty for producers and makes it harder for ranchers to expand herds, which he said is the long-term solution to lower beef prices.
Trade policy and tariffs were another major focus of the debate. Ricketts defended targeted tariffs as a tool to create a mo...

- Well over 200 students from area high schools heard about a variety of agricultural equipment, processes and career fields last week as WESTCO sponsored their 5th annual FFA Day.
A collaboration of WESTCO and the UNL Panhandle Research Extention and Education Center, the event had students in two groups split time at the ag company’s Answer Plot east of Gering, and the PREEC office in Scottsbluff.
Alliance High School Ag instructor and FFA advisor Ashton Vivian has had her students take part since the beginning, and said she sees so much value in what the event offers. “A day like this provides a really unique opportunity for us to take some of the concepts that we’re teaching in our education classes (and) give students a chance to actually see it in practice.

- Two Nebraska Panhandle high schools — Kimball High School and Leyton High School in Dalton — have each been awarded $5,000 through T-Mobile's Friday Night 5G Lights competition, a national program celebrating small-town football and community spirit. The schools were randomly selected as weekly "$5K Fridays" sweepstakes winners. With the prize comes eligibility for even bigger awards, as both schools are now in the running for a share of more than $8.4 million in total funding — including a grand prize of $1 million toward a full football field transformation, to be announced November 12. Leyton Public Schools Superintendent Matt McLaughlin said he applied hoping to build a safe, modern, multi-use field that could serve football, soccer, track, physical education, youth sports, and community events for both Dalton and Gurley.

- Keep Alliance Beautiful to Propose New Recycling Program for Alliance Residents

- Description
- Keep Alliance Beautiful is proposing a new recycling incentive program aimed at increasing participation and reducing the amount of waste going into the city landfill. Under the proposal, up to 50 residents could voluntarily enroll in KAB’s curbside recycling program and pay an annual recycling fee of 120 dollars. Those who consistently follow recycling guidelines would receive a $5 or $10 credit on their monthly bill. KAB collection personnel would monitor recycling carts and document contamination issues. Residents with repeated contamination could lose eligibility for the credit until compliance is restored. The organization says the program could increase recycling, extend the life of the landfill, delay future capital costs and promote sustainability in Alliance. The proposal will be considered during Tuesday night's Alliance City Council meeting.
