The Hot Sheets: April 1st, 2025

Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department

Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department’s annual&nbsp;Walk to Health&nbsp;Team Challenge&nbsp;kicks off Monday, April 7th.&nbsp; This free walking program will last for 12 weeks and is open to residents of all ages in the SWNPHD nine-county service area.

“The Walk to Health program is a fun and easy way to increase your physical activity,” states Sarah Minnick, Program Manager at Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department (SWNPHD).&nbsp; “The team challenge encourages participants to walk with a friend or in a group, and research shows this helps with motivation and reaching step goals, so they are more likely to finish the challenge and get the health benefits of walking.”

This year a new step-tracking app called&nbsp;Be Well&nbsp;is being provided by Community Hospital of McCook’s Wellness for Life program.&nbsp; Participants can use the web or mobile app to create an account and connect a device for tracking, recognition, and encouragement.

“Everyone who participates in the 12-week challenge and fills out an evaluation of the program, will receive a free Walk to Health t-shirt,” explains Sarah Minnick. “Teams have fun competing against each other or going for the most steps. The top team will receive a special prize provided by this year’s sponsor Chase County Community Hospital.”

To register for the walking challenge, go to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://walktohealth.thrives.app/login">walktohealth.thrives.app</a>.&nbsp; Log in to your account or create an account if it is your first time. You may also download the&nbsp;Be Well&nbsp;app by TerryBerry from the App Store or Google Play. After you create your account, join a team or create your own by scrolling to the team section. You can register as a team of 2 to 10 people. Then add your team to the “Get Fit on Route 66” Challenge.

You will be able to connect your fitness device to track activity automatically, or you can manually enter your daily steps into the app or on the paper step journal. Instructions and step journals are available on the SWNPHD website at&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.swhealth.ne.gov/healthylifestyle/walktohealth">swhealth.ne.gov</a>.&nbsp;

For more information or to pick up paper step journals, visit SWNPHD at 404 West 10th&nbsp;Street in McCook or 418 North Spruce in Ogallala.

Acting United States Attorney Matthew R. Molsen announced that Mikayla Daleness, 26, of Lexington, Nebraska, was sentenced on March 27, 2025, in federal court in Lincoln, Nebraska, for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. 

United Sates District Judge Susan M. Bazis sentenced Daleness to 78 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Daleness’s release from prison, she will begin a five-year term of supervised release.&nbsp;

From summer 2023 into early 2024, Daleness and three others from Cozad worked together to bring pounds of methamphetamine from Colorado to the Lexington-Cozad area where the drugs were distributed. Search warrants for Facebook communications allowed investigators to identify individuals and their residences involved in the distribution of methamphetamine. 

During a January 2024 search warrant at a co-conspirator’s residence in Cozad, investigators found a loaded handgun, ammunition, methamphetamine, and distribution paraphernalia. Search warrants for the residents’ cell phones contained messages showing drug distribution. Recorded jail calls tipped investigators to the group’s travel plans to get more methamphetamine in Colorado.

 A search warrant for a tracking device led investigators to making a traffic stop on February 6, 2024. Daleness was a passenger in the car containing more methamphetamine, THC, and drug paraphernalia. A later search of Daleness’s Cozad residence turned up drug use and distribution paraphernalia.

This case was investigated by the CODE Drug Task Force which is comprised of members from the Lexington Police Department, the Cozad Police Department, the North Platte Police Department, and the Nebraska State Patrol. Investigators from the West Metro Drug Task Force in Colorado also assisted in the investigation.

Lexington Woman Sentenced for Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine

The event will kick off at 7:30 a.m. on Friday, April 4th, 2025, with a CASA burrito breakfast on the 2nd floor of the Prairie&nbsp; Arts Center in North Platte. At 9 a.m., Mayor Brandon Kelliher will read the official Proclamation, marking the beginning&nbsp; of Child Abuse Prevention Month. The burrito breakfast will serve as a community gathering to raise awareness about&nbsp; child abuse prevention.&nbsp;

While addressing child abuse prevention is the core mission of several local organizations, it’s important to remember&nbsp; that Nebraska is a mandatory reporting state. Every citizen has a role to play in recognizing and reporting signs of child&nbsp; abuse and neglect.&nbsp;&nbsp;

During April, the local Child Abuse Prevention Council will promote education and awareness using materials from Bring&nbsp; Up Nebraska. The campaign's signature blue pinwheels symbolize the message of prevention, with blue pinwheels being&nbsp; placed throughout the community as a reminder.&nbsp;

Other planned activities include Dress Blue Fridays, where local businesses are invited to wear blue and take photos with&nbsp; council members to show support for child abuse prevention.&nbsp;

Child abuse and neglect remain serious concerns in Lincoln County. Unfortunately, many children placed in state care&nbsp; are relocated outside of Lincoln County due to a lack of local foster homes. For many children, being removed from their&nbsp; homes is a deeply traumatic experience. Even when placed in loving environments, these children often face unfamiliar&nbsp; and unsettling circumstances.&nbsp;

For more information on April’s activities and resources about Promotive and Protective Factors that support family&nbsp; stability, please visit Lincoln County Children on Facebook:&nbsp;&nbsp;

Scottsbluff, Neb. — Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol have arrested a wanted person after a pursuit and standoff in Scotts Bluff County.

At approximately 11:15 p.m. MT Thursday, a trooper saw a Mercury Grand Marquis speeding on Lake Minatare Road, north of Scottsbluff. During the traffic stop, the driver accelerated and fled westbound on Lake Minatare Road. The trooper initiated a pursuit.

The suspect turned southbound on Highway 71 and continued into Scottsbluff, reaching speeds over 100 miles per hour. The driver drove through Scottsbluff on Highway 26, then turned northbound on county roads, eventually coming to a stop at a residence near Lake Minatare Road and County Road 24. The driver and passenger then fled into the home and barricaded themselves inside.

Additional troopers, as well as the Scotts Bluff County Sheriff’s Office, Scottsbluff Police Department, and Gering Police Department all responded to assist. Crisis Negotiators also responded and began attempts to communicate with the suspects. Troopers learned that there was a female inside the house as well and the suspects had access to firearms.

Communication was established and it was determined that the driver who had fled the traffic stop was preventing the passenger and the female from exiting the house. After approximately one hour, the male passenger was able to leave the house, but the driver still refused to exit or allow the female to leave.

At approximately 2:10 a.m., negotiators were successfully able to get the driver to exit the residence peacefully and he was immediately taken into custody. The female was then able to leave the home safely. Two firearms were found inside the home.

The suspect, Tyreese Monroe, 21, of Scottsbluff, was arrested for flight to avoid arrest, willful reckless driving, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, kidnapping, and an active warrant out of Texas. He was lodged in Scotts Bluff County Jail.

Acting United States Attorney Matthew R. Molsen announced that on March 26, 2025, a multi-agency operation led to the arrests of 8 individuals in central Nebraska on federal drug charges, and the unsealing of several indictments. An additional 5 people were arrested on state charges. Multiple search warrants were also executed.

Those arrested federally and a summary of their charges and the penalties include the following:

A superseding indictment was unsealed charging&nbsp;Manuel Enrique Corona-Ramirez, Shawn Norris, Trevor Hardin, and Omar Gonzalez-Garcia with conspiracy to distribute over 500 grams of methamphetamine between March 1, 2024 and February 5, 2025. Also listed in that conspiracy count are Reyes Ernesto Garcia-Urquizo and Enrique Martinez, who were arrested a month prior. A conviction on that conspiracy charge carries a possible penalty of not less than 10 years to life in prison, a fine of up to $10 million; and a term of supervised release not less than five years.

A related indictment was also unsealed charging Adelso Saravia and Adriana Zepeda Rivera with conspiracy to distribute over 50 grams of methamphetamine (actual) between October 3, 2024 and November 30, 2024. The penalties on that charge are not less than 10 years to life in prison, a fine of up to $10 million; and a term of supervised release not less than five years.

These cases were investigated by the Cooperative Operations for Drug Enforcement (CODE) Task Force which is made up of law enforcement agencies throughout a 22-county area in west-central/southwest Nebraska in cooperation with federal partners at Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Also assisting in the investigation and subsequent arrests were the Tri-Cities Drug Enforcement Team (TRIDENT) Task Force based around the Grand Island-Hastings-Kearney area, the Cozad Police Department, the Dawson County Sheriff’s Office, the Lexington Police Department, the Nebraska State Patrol, the North Platte Police Department, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

This effort is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) operation. OCDETF identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level criminal organizations that threaten the United States using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach. Additional information about the OCDETF Program can be found at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.justice.gov/OCDETF" target="_blank">https://www.justice.gov/OCDETF</a>.

An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Union Pacific Railroad announced today it has entered into an agreement with Jaguar Transport Holdings LLC to provide short line rail service in the Central Industrial District in Kansas City, a move that will enhance customer service and support regional economic growth.

Union Pacific will lease about 12 acres of land and four miles of track in central Kansas City to Jaguar Transport, a leading transportation logistics company with experience in short line rail, warehousing and transload services.

“Jaguar has a proven track record of providing premier customer service and we believe this operating change will be a win for both railroads, our mutual customers and the local economy,” said Kenny Rocker, executive vice president – Marketing and Sales, for Union Pacific. “Both parties have high expectations for growth under this exciting new deal.”

The change allows Union Pacific to focus on fast, reliable long-haul service from the site in central Kansas City, while Jaguar will offer five-day-a-week short-haul services via its new short line railroad: the Kansas City West Bottoms Railroad.

“Our new business partnership with Union Pacific will create operational efficiencies and unique economic opportunities for the region, allowing local businesses in the greater Kansas City area faster and easier access to Union Pacific’s leading rail network,” said Tim Enayati, senior vice president of commercial development for Jaguar Transport Holdings. “We’re thrilled this opportunity is happening in Missouri and Kansas, two states that have been great partners and longtime supporters of the rail industry.”

In addition to its short-line services, Jaguar owns a cold and dry storage warehouse adjacent to the property and it is finalizing construction of a new transload facility on the site that will begin accepting train cars sometime this month.

Union Pacific (NYSE: UNP) delivers the goods families and businesses use every day with safe, reliable and efficient service. Operating in 23 western states, the company connects its customers and communities to the global economy. Trains are the most environmentally responsible way to move freight, helping Union Pacific protect future generations.

Union Pacific and Jaguar Transport Holding LLC Primed for Growth in Kansas City

The Annual Re-Ride of the historic Pony Express mail service will be conducted from June 11 - 21, 2025, by the National Pony Express Association (NPEA). The event, celebrating the 165th year anniversary of “the Pony”, will start in Sacramento, CA and end in St. Joseph, MO, traveling west to east this year.

Personal letters and Commemorative letters will be carried in a mochila (a leather square that is placed over the saddle, with four locked cantinas to hold the mail) by horse and rider relays from the Sacramento River to the Missouri River. The first rider will depart Old Sacramento, California on Wednesday, June 11, at 2:00 PM PDT, and the last rider is scheduled to arrive at the Patee House in St. Joseph, Missouri, on Saturday, June 21, at 7:30 PM CDT.

The route will follow the Pony Express National Historic Trail, a component of the National Trails System. The mail will travel 1966 miles across California, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas, to Missouri.

Approximately 600 member riders from NPEA’s eight State Divisions will ride relay-style, 24 hours a day, until the mochila is delivered in St. Joseph, Missouri. Each rider will take the Pony Express Oath prior to riding with the mochila, just as the riders did in 1860.

History: The annual Re-Ride is a 10-day, 24 hours-a-day event honoring the Central Overland California and Pikes Peak Express Company. The Company carried letters and telegrams from April 1860, to November 1861, between St. Joseph and Sacramento, proving the Central Route through Salt Lake City was passable year round. Their intent was to win a federal mail contract, which, unfortunately, never materialized.

Riders Wanted: Are you interested in participating in the annual Re-Ride? Get your mount legged up to ride a leg in the annual Re-Ride. Reach out to a State President near you and find out about riding in this year's Re-Ride. Several states have ride sections available; come experience the thrill of being a Pony Express rider! State Officer Directory: H<a target="_blank" href="https://nationalponyexpress.org/about/national-directory/">ttps://nationalponyexpress.org/about/national-directory/</a>

Send A Letter: The Commemorative letters carried this year will be a vignette of Pony Express history in Nevada. The letters can be purchased by the public for the 1860 price of $5 each. Personal letters are also available for $10 each. All letters will be carried on horseback from Sacramento, California to St. Joseph, Missouri. They will be stamped as having been officially carried by Pony Express and then delivered via USPS. The letter application form can be obtained by downloading it from the NPEA website at <a target="_blank" href="https://nationalponyexpress.org/re-ride/send-a-letter/">https://nationalponyexpress.org/re-ride/send-a-letter/</a>.

Re-Ride: During the Re-Ride, updates and information about the progress across the Pony Express trail can be found at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/expressrider/">https://www.facebook.com/expressrider/</a>. A GPS Device will be carried in the mochila, that transmits real-time location of the mail. The National Parks Service (NPS) will have an interactive map to follow the transmissions at <a target="_blank" href="https://nationalponyexpress.org/re-ride/follow-the-ride/">https://nationalponyexpress.org/re-ride/follow-the-ride/</a>.

&nbsp; Lincoln, Neb., March 26 —&nbsp;The Nebraska LEAD Program honored the 29 Fellows of Class 42 during the Nebraska Agricultural Leadership Council’s Annual Recognition Banquet, held Friday, March 21, on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s East Campus. 

Hosted in partnership with UNL’s Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, the banquet celebrated the completion of the two-year leadership development program and recognized key supporters who make the program possible.

As part of their graduation, each Fellow received a digital badge from UNL’s College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, recognizing their intensive two-year study of agricultural leadership, communication and global perspectives. This micro-credential serves as a formal acknowledgment of their skills and can be shared with employers and professional networks to highlight their leadership development.

During the evening, Nebraska LEAD Class 42 Fellows shared insights from their experiences in the program and highlighted key takeaways from their two-year journey. Dr. Terry Hejny, who served as the program’s director during their first year before retiring, delivered the keynote address. He was also honored with the “Allen G. Blezek Friend of LEAD Award” in recognition of his dedication to agricultural leadership development in Nebraska.
