For the calendar quarter beginning on&nbsp;October 1, 2024,&nbsp;the local sales and use tax rate changes will be:&nbsp;

There are no changes in county&nbsp;lodging tax&nbsp;rates for October 1, 2024.

As a reminder for the upcoming calendar quarter of July 1, 2024, there are no local sales and use tax rate changes or county lodging tax rate changes.

Per recent legislation (LB 1317, Section 81) changes were made to the&nbsp;state&nbsp;sales and use tax rate for&nbsp;Good Life District&nbsp;(GLD) transactions.&nbsp; Effective on&nbsp;July 1, 2024&nbsp;the&nbsp;state&nbsp;sales and use tax rate is 2.75% only on those transactions sourced to a GLD area that are also within the city boundaries. 

Transactions made within a GLD but that are OUTSIDE the boundaries of a city have a&nbsp;state&nbsp;rate of 5.5%. This currently only affects the GLD Nebraska Crossing Village District (GLD 802-802) which is located both outside and inside of Gretna’s city boundaries.&nbsp; The GLD Avenue One (GLD 801-801) is located entirely within Omaha, so this GLD has a&nbsp;state&nbsp;rate of 2.75%.&nbsp; 

Changes are being made to our sales and use tax returns for this change. &nbsp;The Sales Tax Rate Finder on our website will show these different rates on and after July 1, 2024.&nbsp;

Too learn more about this year's judges, check out their bios below.

Kristina Sigaty is from Aberdeen, SD. She has been involved in the rodeo queen world since entering her first contest in 2003. Since then, she has been honored to represent South Dakota as the 2006 and 2007 SDHSRA Queen, Jr. Miss Rodeo South Dakota 2008, 2009 South Dakota 4-H Rodeo Ambassador, and Miss Rodeo South Dakota 2013, finishing in the Top 10 at Miss Rodeo America and earning the Wrangler Jacket Award and High Ticket Sales. 

Serving as Miss Rodeo South Dakota had a massive impact on her life and career trajectory, and she has remained involved as a board member for Miss Rodeo South Dakota, Inc. to continue to offer those opportunities to today’s cowgirls. Growing up on a family farm, Kristina has also remained heavily involved with agriculture as the merchandising/ origination manager at Frederick Farmers Elevator and market analyst with Fiebiger Consulting. 

She also serves as a board member for the Bear Creek Roughriders Saddle Club, producing their barrel racing series and coordinating a variety of clinics and programs for club members. In her spare time, she enjoys trail riding, knitting, embroidering, crocheting, reading, and spending time on the lake with her husband Brandon and daughter Kimber.

Codi Miller was born and raised on a small grain and cattle ranch in southwestern North Dakota. As a child, she attended a one-room schoolhouse and participated in 4-H for 10 years. Her pageant and modeling career started when she was 15 when she&nbsp;competed in the Bahamas at Miss Teen USA as the youngest contestant. She also competed in San Antonio, TX at Miss Collegiate America, plus 6 years in the Miss USA System.

In between beauty pageants, Codi followed in her mother's footsteps in the rodeo and rodeo queen world. She was the ND High School Rodeo Queen, 2-time State Champion in Pole Bending, and is now the State Director of the high school queens' contest.  Codi was Miss Rodeo North Dakota 2014, and placed Top 10 at Miss Rodeo America. She is currently the National Director of Miss Rodeo North Dakota Pageant Organization, where she has founded a new scholarship program.&nbsp;

Codi enjoys spending her time helping young women in their personal and professional goals. She is a new homeowner and enjoys decorating and remodeling her little home, as well as owning and operating a western upholstery business.  Codi believes her time in pageants and rodeo has helped her achieve career goals and building relationships all over the country. She hopes each woman her can see the benefits, win or lose!&nbsp;

Joni, originally from Nebraska, and now making her home in Florida, is a former Miss Rodeo Nebraska 2015. Her early years were spent on her family's working ranch in the Sandhills of Ericson, Nebraska, where she played an active role in raising Angus cattle and American Quarter Horses. In her free time, she loved being outdoors, engaging in activities like 4H, hunting, fishing and traveling to rodeos &amp; pageants.&nbsp;

Shortly after obtaining her nursing degree and working as a full-time nurse she met her husband, Ian&nbsp;Heinisch, a UCF Middleweight, and former All-American Wrestler. Shortly after marriage, her life journey took her to the Sunshine State, Florida. Today, Joni co-owns a functional medicine practice, treating patients all across the county. Her true passion lies in promoting health and wellness among individuals.

Even though she's currently immersed in the south Florida lifestyle, Joni's heart remains rooted in the charm of small-town agriculture, and the outdoor way of living, remaining as active as she can in her family's ranch in Nebraska. Together with her husband, she cherishes the beauty of Florida's outdoors, spending quality time exploring its natural wonders.

Joni's genuine interests include agriculture, preserving the traditions of family ranches, rodeo queen pageants, and advocating for the conversation of the outdoors. Through their ministry, she and Ian share the gospel message on a global scale, a testament to the significant impact of faith in their lives.

Shes wishes good luck too all the contestants in the Miss Rodeo Nebraska pageant

(Audio) North Platte City Council Meeting, June 4th recap

Fort Cody Summer Music Series concert lineup

The Behavioral Health Education Center of Nebraska (BHECN) will be traveling across Nebraska&nbsp;this summer&nbsp;to discuss with providers the impact of $25.5 million in American Rescue&nbsp;Plan&nbsp;Act (ARPA) funds on behavioral health care in the state.

At the request of the Nebraska Legislature, BHECN distributed the funds in 2023 to address the state’s behavioral health workforce shortage and behavioral health issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic.&nbsp;

BHECN, housed at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), used a comprehensive application and review process to allocate the funds to more than 100 projects around the state to help address key behavioral issues on various fronts.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.unmc.edu/bhecn/arpa/awardees.html" target="_blank">See a full list of BHECN-ARPA Awardees here</a>.

This summer’s trips will unite recipients through a series of statewide gatherings, where they can share project progress, explore avenues for additional support from BHECN, exchange best practices, and foster stronger networks.

“The BHECN-ARPA project presents a uniquely powerful opportunity to address enduring behavioral health workforce challenges, especially those compounded by the pandemic,” said Marley Doyle, MD, director of BHECN. “We eagerly anticipate engaging with Nebraska’s outstanding organizations in person, witnessing their groundbreaking efforts, which are poised to improve the lives of so many Nebraskans.”

Jessie Buche, director of the ARPA Awards Program, added, "BHECN is particularly enthusiastic about showcasing the remarkable achievements of BHECN-ARPA awardees in the inaugural year of their projects."

The BHECN-ARPA awardee gatherings will be held:

Tuesday, June 11&nbsp;– 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. CDT at the University of Nebraska&nbsp;at&nbsp;Kearney’s Ockinga Seminar Center.&nbsp;

Tuesday, June 18&nbsp;–&nbsp;9 a.m. to 1 p.m. MDT at Chadron State College&nbsp;in the student center’s Scottsbluff Room.

Tuesday, Aug. 6&nbsp;– 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. CDT at Wayne State College.&nbsp;﻿&nbsp;

Wednesday, Aug. 7&nbsp;– 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. CDT at UNMC.&nbsp;

Media are invited to attend the events. (Best time may be from 10:10-11:30 a.m.; a BHECN awardee will present and then awardees will meet to discuss successes and challenges.)

“Nebraska confronts numerous behavioral health workforce challenges, and our awardees are addressing those challenges head on,” Buche said. “We are excited to hear their insights and amplify their important work.”

By Western Nebraska Community College

SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. -&nbsp;Recent Western Nebraska Community College graduate Jordon Underwood of Oshkosh was named a Distinguished Chapter Member by Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society.

The awarded members are selected based on a student's embodiment of the Hallmarks of the Society through active participation in their chapter. It is awarded to students with exceptional leadership, scholarship service, and fellowship with their chapter and community. Only 30 students are recognized nationwide.

"It&nbsp;was a great honor I got the ability to receive a medallion for this award," Underwood said. "I was really thankful for friends, family, professors, and the PTK organization for this award."

In addition, he was also the recipient of the Board of Governors Award at the WNCC Student Award Ceremony in late April. This is the highest award conferred by WNCC, given to an outstanding graduating sophomore who best exemplifies the qualities of excellence in academics, leadership, and service to the college and the community.

During his time at WNCC and through his college project through PTK, Underwood spoke with students from area high schools about his experiences and the role that WNCC specifically played in his education.

"PTK and WNCC have made a big difference in my life," Underwood said. "I got the ability to meet new people and develop friendships that will last forever."

Underwood received his associates degree in May and plans to continue his education next fall at Chadron State College to pursue a bachelor's degree in elementary education.

For more than 90 years, Western Nebraska Community College has been educating residents of Nebraska's Panhandle. With campus locations in Alliance, Scottsbluff, and Sidney, WNCC offers educational, training, and growth opportunities for students, partners, and community members throughout its 12-½ county service area.
