OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Union Pacific is trimming the ranks of the railroad's management employees as part of the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/union-pacific-ceo-jim-vena-railroad-23365ccd844a91a7ba9d0cfd6b36fe0b">new CEO's push</a>&nbsp;to eliminate layers of bosses involved in decision making.

The railroad, based in Omaha, Nebraska, said Wednesday that it is eliminating less than 5% of its roughly 5,600 management jobs.

Everyone who is losing their job was encouraged to either apply for a job helping operate or maintain Union Pacific's trains or to stay on for several months to help tackle one of about a couple dozen special projects.

Fewer than 275 management jobs were being eliminated, but the final number of cuts will depend on how many managers take other jobs with the railroad.

<a href="https://apnews.com/article/union-pacific-railroad-ceo-jim-vena-06b2fbdf515e7f5aa8d82c0b2cafbc88">CEO Jim Vena</a>&nbsp;made streamlining the organization one of his first priorities after taking the job in August.

“You can’t have nine levels from the CEO to the people who actually do the work and expect that the message is clear, the decisions are made clear and there isn’t some hiccup in the decision,” Vena&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/union-pacific-railroad-thirdquarter-earnings-0ad0474a2bbf4dc0d29c0e1c880aa101">told investors</a>&nbsp;last month. “And I want to drive it so that we have way less layers. And that means with less layers, the people out in the field are empowered to make the right decision.”

A spokeswoman for the railroad said Wednesday that the management layoffs are part of the larger effort to change its culture and “focus on empowering employees on the front lines to drive decision-making.”

Before the layoffs announced Wednesday, Union Pacific eliminated about 100 operating jobs recently in response to a decline in the number of rail shipments with the economy in flux.

But both sets of job cuts represent a relatively small part of Union Pacific's total workforce of about 33,000. The railroad is one of the nation's largest, operating more than 32,000 miles (51,499 kilometers) of track in 23 Western states.

These latest cuts are also much smaller than the ones Union Pacific made after it started overhauling its operations in 2018 to rely more on fewer, longer trains that operate on a more set schedule. Before those changes began, the railroad employed more than 44,000 people. Those bigger cuts that UP and all the major railroads made over the past six years have been criticized by labor unions who say they left the workforce spread too thin to keep up with crucial preventative maintenance and inspections. The railroads say the cuts simply helped them become more efficient and they need fewer workers today because they're using fewer locomotives and railcars to haul a similar amount of freight.

The head of the Federal Railroad Administration&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/union-pacific-railroad-safety-fra-defects-a3727942095fc3bd585b42d60c45fa6e">questioned the wisdom</a>&nbsp;of the recent cuts of train crews and maintenance personnel in a letter to Vena after federal inspectors found hundreds of problems when they visited Union Pacific's massive railyard in western Nebraska this summer.&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/palestinian-territories-ohio-canada-business-accidents-d57651e17b2f9e0163c50298106950a3">Safety</a>&nbsp;has been a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/railroad-safety-derailments-tank-car-ohio-minnesota-c60f33b64e9c7dc05768a78ae20f3ce5">concern</a>&nbsp;across the industry after a Norfolk Southern&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/politics-pete-buttigieg-evacuations-ohio-explosions-64908a6416662b5866809387f210aee5">train derailed</a>&nbsp;in eastern Ohio in February, spilled hazardous chemicals and caught fire.

KLFD hosted its annual 2023 chimney sweep

North Platte, NE: Eric Stearns returns to his hometown on November 3rd for the opening reception of his latest ceramic work in a show titled&nbsp;Ra•ku.&nbsp;You are welcome to meet the artist during the 5:30 - 7:30 pm reception at the Prairie Art Center.&nbsp;

"Ra•ku&nbsp;showcases my latest exploration into color palettes inspired by the world around me," says Eric Stearns. "Although this body of work features my pierced and raku-fired ceramics you may already know, the forms and colors are fresh and unique."

Raku is a method of quickly firing ceramic artwork. Eric removes the pieces from the kiln at 1450° F, when they're still red hot. The art is given about a minute or two to cool before placing it in a metal container with a few sheets of newspaper. The paper ignites and smokes then the container is closed. 

The reduction atmosphere affects the glaze colors and the smoke turns unglazed parts of the clay black. The drastic thermal shock also produces cracking in the glaze —known as crazing since it is deliberate. The piece is removed from the container once cool and cleaned up to remove residual soot and ash, revealing the brilliant glazes.&nbsp;

&nbsp;Born and raised on a ranch near North Platte, Nebraska, Eric Stearns earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree with a Professional Emphasis in 2003 from Doane College in Crete, Nebraska. After college, he opened his first studio, Stearns Ceramics, in North Platte, NE.

After teaching full-time, as well as assisting his family on the ranch, Stearns decided to commit more fully to his art and received a Master of Fine Arts at Fort Hays State University in 2008 studying under Linda Ganstrom. He is now Associate Professor of Art and Chair of the Department of Art and Design at Doane University in Crete, Nebraska.

City of McCook releases statement on the small plane crash

KEARNEY – The statistics are staggering.

Nearly 1 in 5 Nebraskans have a mental illness, yet access to behavioral health resources remains extremely limited in many parts of the state. All but five of the state’s 93 counties are designated as mental health professions shortage areas and 29 counties don’t have any behavioral health providers.

“The need is great, especially in rural Nebraska,” said Krista Fritson, a licensed clinical psychologist and professor in the University of Nebraska at Kearney’s Department of Psychology.

In Kearney, for example, she notes that it can take anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple months to access certain behavioral health services. That’s a problem, especially with rates of anxiety, depression and other mental health conditions on the rise since the COVID-19 pandemic started.

Recognizing this shortage back in 2009, the state Legislature created the Behavioral Health Education Center of Nebraska (BHECN) to help recruit, train, support and retain mental and behavioral health professionals. BHECN is based at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, with rural sites at UNK, Chadron State College and Wayne State College.

This collaboration between the Legislature, academic institutions and community partners has made a positive impact, with the state’s mental and behavioral health workforce growing by 38% from 2010 to 2020. However, there’s still a lot of ground to gain.

“Given the fact that 88 of Nebraska’s 93 counties are designated as mental health professions shortage areas, these programs and the support for our students and mental health providers are crucial in order to continue to increase the number of professionals in Nebraska,” Fritson said.

In addition to her role as a faculty member, Fritson serves as director of the BHECN location at UNK, where a new pilot program is building on this momentum. The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.unmc.edu/bhecn/career-pathways/student-trainee-opportunities/bhop.html">Behavioral Health Opportunities Program</a>&nbsp;(BHOP) was launched this summer to continue expanding and enhancing this professional pipeline.

Similar to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.unk.edu/academics/health_sciences/scholarshipprograms.php">Kearney Health Opportunities Program</a>&nbsp;(KHOP), a successful partnership between UNK and UNMC that recruits and trains future health care professionals, BHOP is designed as a pathway program for students seeking behavioral health careers in Nebraska. Unlike KHOP, students in the behavioral health program can complete their entire education through UNK, starting in the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.unk.edu/academics/psychology/index.php">undergraduate psychology program</a>&nbsp;before advancing to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.unk.edu/academics/csp/clinical-mental-health-counseling.php">clinical mental health counseling master’s program</a>.

Participants receive BHECN-funded financial assistance – covering 100% of tuition and most student fees during the final year of their undergraduate program and 25% of tuition during their first three years in the master’s program – and they’re eligible for additional funding to support conference travel and other professional development activities.

The inaugural cohort is comprised of six UNK students selected – two from the master’s program and four undergraduate seniors. As members of the same “learning community,” these scholars participate in monthly activities that allow them to build relationships and professional skills, including recent sessions that focused on equine therapy and meditation and mindfulness.

They also receive one-on-one mentorship from licensed behavioral health professionals currently working in the field, as well as opportunities for job shadowing and internships.

“For me, the most important thing is the real-world experience,” said Robyn Springer, a BHOP participant and graduate assistant for BHECN. “There are things you can learn from a book, but until you actually get out there and dip your toes in the water, you don’t know what it’s really like.”

Springer helped run a local roofing business for nearly three decades, then she went through a divorce and decided to return to school in search of “something different.”

“Once I started the psychology program, I realized I was home,” she said. “This is where I belong. I just love it.”

She earned her bachelor’s degree from UNK in May and is currently pursuing a master’s through the clinical mental health counseling graduate program. Along with the support system she has through BHECN and UNK, Springer has gained knowledge and professional connections by shadowing local therapists.

“That helps tremendously. We’re still students, so there are so many questions that we have about getting into this field,” she said.

“The experiences BHOP provides will allow us to begin our careers with so much more confidence, which is huge,” she added. “This program definitely provides that leg up.”

Moving forward, Fritson hopes to see BHOP incorporate other academic programs, such as social work, and expand to additional institutions across the state.

“We know that we have six individuals who are going to be master’s-level therapists in this area in three or four years because of this program,” she said. “That’s the kind of progress we need in order to improve access to care and the quality of care for Nebraskans.”

Members of the inaugural Behavioral Health Opportunities Program cohort, listed by hometown, are:

Gering – Olivia Longmore (undergraduate)

Kearney – Robyn Springer (graduate student)

Dundy County Sgt. Lucci was given vague information about the location of the stolen vehicles and was able to locate that vehicle and Rural Dundy County. That vehicle has since been returned to the owner. The investigation into other involved person continues and we will update information as we can.
