<a>(North Platte, NEB.)&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>—&nbsp;&nbsp;Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) Carrier Enforcement Division conducted local commercial vehicle inspections on Wednesday, August 21st, in North Platte, Nebraska.

During this effort, the Metropolitan Aggressive and Prevention Selective (MAPS) Team conducted 39 vehicle inspections. Troopers discovered 95 violations of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and state law. Troopers placed 12 vehicles out of service (not allowed to return to the road). Additionally, troopers placed 3 drivers out of service.

Vehicles are placed out of service for a variety of reasons relating to bad brakes or tires, or other problems that pose immediate safety risks. Troopers issued a total of 11 citations during the inspections.

During the inspections, troopers also issued a total of 11 CVSA decals. The decals indicate that the vehicle did not have any immediate safety issues.

The effort focuses on commercial vehicles that may not pass-through weigh stations as part of their regular routes.

The MAPS Team is funded largely by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Troopers check for compliance with federal safety regulations and enforce laws pertaining to weight, size, registration, dyed fuels, and permits associated with commercial vehicles. The MAPS Team was implemented in 1998 and consists of troopers from the Nebraska State Patrol Carrier Enforcement Division.

Kearney, Neb. –&nbsp;Th Nebraska Kearney volleyball team reported to fall camp today (Aug. 19) in preparation for its season-opener in three weeks.

The Lopers have just four days of “fall camp” as they scrimmage Metro State (Aug. 23/7 p.m.; Aug. 24; 12 p.m.) and Colorado School of Mines (Aug. 24/10:30 a.m.) this weekend. UNK then faces Colorado State-Pueblo next Friday (Aug. 30/5 p.m.) in its final tune-up. All scrimmages are free and open to the public, but match results will not be recorded.

Head coach&nbsp;Rick Squiers, 758-108 in his Loper tenure, and his staff must replace All-Americans Emersen Cyza (outside hitter) and Jaden Ferguson (right side) but plenty of firepower returns to help the Lopers duplicate last year’s 29-6 record. UNK reached the second round of the NCAA’s ultra-tough Central Regional, were MIAA Tournament runners-up and finished 10th&nbsp;in the final national poll.

North Platte redshirt junior setter&nbsp;Peyton Neff&nbsp;is a returning All-American with newcomer libero/defensive specialist&nbsp;Alli Wiese&nbsp;(Mattawan, Mich.) a two-time All-American playing for Hillsdale (Mich.) College. UNK added more experience in the backrow in redshirt junior&nbsp;Aleena Peterson&nbsp;(Kansas City) from Southwest Baptist. &nbsp;Next, fifth-year senior right-side&nbsp;Lauren Taubenheim&nbsp;(Lincoln Pius), senior outside&nbsp;Asha Regier&nbsp;(Newton, Kan.) and sophomore middle&nbsp;Mia Berg&nbsp;(Eureka, Mo.) have each earned All-MIAA honors in their careers. Finally, eight freshmen have come aboard.

UNK begins the year Sept. 6-7 in California with the home opener set for Sept. 10 vs. Peru State.

LINCOLN —&nbsp;The Federal Aviation Administration awarded $18 million to 24 Nebraska airports this summer as part of a nationwide effort to enhance airfield safety and infrastructure.

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s FAA awarded the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.faa.gov/airports/aip/2024_aip_grants/aip_a2.pdf" target="_blank">Airport Improvement Program</a>&nbsp;grants on June 28 and July 26 to Nebraska. Across four rounds of grants so far this fiscal year, the FAA has distributed&nbsp;<a href="https://www.faa.gov/airports/aip/2024_aip_grants" target="_blank">more than $1.13 billion</a>&nbsp;to 235 airports across 35 states and Washington, D.C., to improve runways, airfields, airport facilities, signage, lighting and markings.

The federal grant program includes approximately $3.3 billion in annual funding.

“These grants underline a national commitment to promoting safety, efficiency, environmental stewardship, infrastructure and security across America’s airports,” the Nebraska Department of Transportation said in a Monday news release.

Among Nebraska’s largest recipients were:

Airports in the following Nebraska cities also received grants: Atkinson, Auburn, Bassett, Blair, Cambridge, Central City, Columbus, Cozad, Fairbury, Falls City, Gordon, Grant, Hebron, Imperial, Lexington, Lincoln, Nebraska City, Plattsmouth, Rushville and Seward.

The FAA states that airports are entitled to a certain amount of&nbsp;<a href="https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2024/02/15/biden-administration-picks-airports-for-nearly-1-billion-in-terminal-upgrades/">grant funding</a>&nbsp;each year, based on passenger volume. If a capital project exceeds available entitlement funds, the FAA can supplement with additional, discretionary spending.

Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department

Do you drink private well water? Let us test it for FREE. During the month of September Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department (SWNPHD) is partnering with University of Nebraska Lincoln researcher Shannon Bartlet-Hunt as part of a community water project to provide free testing to private well owners in southwest Nebraska. The tests will look at nitrate, nitrite, and phosphate levels.

Drinking water quality is important for the health of you and your family. Many factors can change the condition of your well water. Events such as heavy rainfall, agricultural products like fertilizers and pesticides, or even the condition of your well can result in contamination of your drinking water. Many common well water contaminants do not change the color or taste of your water and cannot be detected without testing. SWNPHD recommends that private wells used for drinking should be tested once every year for bacteria, nitrates, and pH levels.

To get your water tested, follow these steps:

The purpose of this program is to increase awareness and accessibility of well water testing. It is not affiliated with or under the direction of any regulatory body, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Your sample results will be used anonymously for the purpose of mapping well water contaminants throughout Nebraska, but your well will not be registered or tracked in any database. You may choose to submit your water sample for testing without finding out the results.

Private Well Testing

North Platte, Neb. -&nbsp; A 66-year-old woman has been arrested by police after buying minors tobacco, alcohol products according to officials.&nbsp;

According to the North Platte Police Department (NPPD), the police department received a tip from the Lincoln County Crime Stoppers that 66-year-old Nanette Timms was procuring alcohol and tobacco products for minors in the North Platte area.&nbsp;

In a press release from NPPD, Timms was using her phone to communicate with minors. Minors would pay her in online transactions and cash payments for alcohol and tobacco products. Timms would have juveniles pick up the products in person at various locations or would leave the items outside her residence.&nbsp;

On Friday, August 16th, investigators observed Timms obtain a large amount of alcohol at Walmart. Investigators witnessed her meet up with two parked vehicles in the parking lot, and Timms placed the alcohol and tobacco products into each of the two vehicles, according to officials.&nbsp;

Law enforcement contacted the two vehicles occupied by the minors and made contact with Timms. One vehicle was occupied by three juveniles and the other was occupied by one juvenile female. The alcohol, liquor, and tobacco products were then seized by law enforcement.&nbsp;

NPPD states Timms was placed into custody on four counts of Procuring Alcohol to Minors (Class I Misd.) and three counts of Selling or Giving Tobacco or a nicotine Product or Device to a Minor (Class III Misd.).&nbsp; More charges are pending upon completion of the investigation. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The North Platte Police Department would like to thank the anonymous caller who provided this information to Crime Stoppers.&nbsp;
