(Audio) Cinco de Mayo Community Celebration set for this Sunday in North Platte

(May 3, 2024) Lexington, Neb.&nbsp;– At the May Board Meeting, Dawson PPD directors voted on the level of on-peak irrigation demand&nbsp;that the District will try to maintain through load management this summer.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dawson PPD and its irrigation customers work together to keep energy costs affordable through the load management program in cooperation with its wholesale provider, Nebraska Public Power District. Dawson PPD is the 4th&nbsp;largest wholesale customer of NPPD. In 2023, Dawson PPD’s irrigation customers helped save $437,892 in electrical costs.&nbsp;&nbsp;

When Dawson PPD’s electric grid reaches the established threshold, Dawson PPD will shed load, or turn off power, to participating customers. This lowers Dawson PPD’s energy consumption during peak use times and saves on its wholesale power bill. In turn, the savings are passed to Dawson PPD’s customers in the form of steady rates and electrical system improvements.&nbsp;

The Board inspected Dawson PPD's latest addition to its fleet: a digger derrick with a reach of up to 92 feet. Over the next few years, the District plans to work on several transmission projects requiring taller poles. Today, Dawson PPD must rent cranes or hire contractors to complete some of these jobs. This vehicle eliminates the necessity of expensive crane rentals for those structural tasks and providing long-term cost savings for customers. Given Dawson PPD’s long-range work plan, the utility anticipates savings to be realized within a year or two.&nbsp;

With the end of the 108th&nbsp;Legislative Session, new laws will impact Nebraska public power districts, including Dawson PPD. Some bills of note are:&nbsp;&nbsp;

1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LB 287 will create a new statewide website intended to serve as a repository of public notices. Starting on January 1, 2025, public meeting notices shall be published in the local newspaper, posted on the newspaper’s website, and submitted to the statewide website.&nbsp;&nbsp;

2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LB 304 requires political subdivisions to disclose annual membership dues and lobbying fees.&nbsp;

3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LB 969 has increased the dollar amount for the sealed bid process from $250,000 to $750,000 for utilities with gross revenues less than $500 million, such as Dawson PPD.&nbsp;

4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LB 1358 – Each public power district with a gross revenue of less than $500 million may pay compensation to the board of directors not to exceed $13,440, and the President may not exceed $15,120.&nbsp;&nbsp;

1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Irrigation load management tests will be conducted May 14 and 15. Impacted customers will be notified in advance.&nbsp;

2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dawson PPD’s revenue is currently 7% over budget, but 3% less than last year.&nbsp;

3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board approved an update to the form for Customer Policy 209 regarding a public records request. It was updated to better reflect the language of Nebraska State Law.&nbsp;&nbsp;

4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Government Emergency Telecommunications Service and Wireless Priority Service programs have announced that electric utilities are eligible for priority access to cell phone service in the event of a natural disaster. Dawson PPD is currently working to integrate this program with Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.&nbsp;

5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dawson PPD will be hosting its annual Utility Line Camp on May 23. The camp is available to high school aged youth.&nbsp;

6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nebraska Public Power District Account Manager Chris Hegert educated the Board on how the wholesale power bill is calculated and what factors are considered. Dawson PPD and NPPD are currently in discussions for renewing their wholesale power contract. NPPD plans to have a wholesale rate increase in 2027 and 2028.&nbsp;

7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Dawson PPD Board Finance Committee is currently working to update financial standards, which will help steer conversations during a planned rate study later in 2024.&nbsp;

8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tree trimming and removal contractors are currently working in the Kearney, Lexington, and Eustis areas.&nbsp;

9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The next board meeting will be Wednesday, June 12.&nbsp;

Dawson PPD Board Members vote on the level of on-peak irrigation demand

United States Attorney Susan Lehr announced that Celso Carillo, 44, of Beryl, Utah, was sentenced on May 2, 2024, in federal court in Lincoln, Nebraska for conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute 400 grams or more of fentanyl. Senior United States Judge John M. Gerrard sentenced Carillo to 121 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Carillo’s release from prison, he will begin a 5-year term of supervised release.

On January 10, 2023, a Nebraska State Patrol trooper stopped a car driven by Alfonso Carillo, in which Celso Carillo was a passenger, for license plate violations near North Platte, Nebraska.&nbsp; Celso Carillo admitted he had two THC vape cartridges in the car. Alfonso Carillo had a pipe with methamphetamine residue on his person.&nbsp; As a result, the vehicle was searched.&nbsp; 

Three packages of fentanyl weighing a total of 6.6 pounds were found.&nbsp; Later, additional information was developed which led investigators to do an additional search of the vehicle.&nbsp; During that search, an additional package of fentanyl weighing 2.5 pounds was found, for a total of 9.1 pounds.

While incarcerated in Lincoln County, Celso Carillo wrote two letters taking responsibility for the drugs.&nbsp; Alfonso Carillo, believed to be Celso Carillo’s nephew, pleaded guilty to a state felony charge of possession of meth in Lincoln County and was sentenced to 364 days in jail in June of 2023.&nbsp; He was given credit for time served and was released.&nbsp; He was federally indicted with Celso Carillo in August of 2023, but his whereabouts are currently unknown.

This case was investigated by&nbsp;the Nebraska State Patrol.

The Hot Sheets: May 3rd, 2024

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Union Pacific managers undermined the U.S. government's efforts to&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/norfolk-southern-railroad-safety-derailment-ohio-25694e9f7fb9a5ee18c9800fb263b9a4">assess safety</a>&nbsp;at the railroad in the wake of several&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/railroad-safety-derailments-tank-car-ohio-minnesota-c60f33b64e9c7dc05768a78ae20f3ce5">high profile derailments</a>&nbsp;across the industry by coaching employees on how to respond and suggesting they might be&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/freight-railroad-whistleblowers-safety-derailments-3cd9619350bacc9c7c01c9a1910f3435">disciplined,</a>&nbsp;federal regulators say.

The meddling was so widespread across Union Pacific’s 23-state network that the Federal Railroad Administration had no choice but to suspend its safety assessment of the company, the agency's chief safety officer, Karl Alexy, told Union Pacific executives&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/railroadworkers/status/1785362654758060475/photo/1">in a letter</a>&nbsp;dated last week that labor groups posted online Tuesday.

The company indicated Wednesday that the issue was limited to one department. Its president told FRA in a response letter that Union Pacific“did not intend to influence or impede the assessment in any way.”

The agency launched safety assessments of all major railroads in the U.S. at the urging of congressional leaders after Norfolk Southern’s&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/politics-pete-buttigieg-evacuations-ohio-explosions-64908a6416662b5866809387f210aee5">disastrous February 2023 derailment</a>&nbsp;in eastern Ohio, and the episode with Union Pacific may prompt lawmakers to finally act on&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/east-palestine-train-derailment-safety-regulations-railroad-4db52c68daf68da05425b5b70363fb0a">stalled railroad safety reforms</a>.

“FRA has discovered that numerous employees were coached to provide specific responses to FRA questions if they were approached for a safety culture interview," Alexy wrote. "Reports of this coaching span the UPRR (Union Pacific railroad) system and railroad crafts. FRA has also encountered reluctance to participate in field interviews from employees who cite intimidation or fear of retaliation.”

The chief of safety at the nation's largest rail union, Jared Cassity, noted that the FRA is so small that it must rely on the railroads to police themselves and report safety issues.

“To think that a company the size of a Union Pacific is willing to go to great lengths to intimidate and harass their employees, so that they’re not honest in their assessment of a company’s safety culture. That begs the question of what else are you covering up?” said Cassity, who is with the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers' Transportation Division, also known as SMART-TD.

A Union Pacific spokeswoman said the railroad believes regulators' concerns center on a message that one manager sent out to employees in his department across the railroad with a copy of the questions FRA planned to ask to help prepare them for an interview.

“The steps we took were intended to help, not hinder, and were taken to educate and prepare our team for the assessment ethically and compliantly," Union Pacific President Beth Whited said in a response letter to the FRA on Tuesday. “We apologize for any confusion those efforts caused.”

Last year, the FRA found a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/union-pacific-railroad-safety-fra-defects-a3727942095fc3bd585b42d60c45fa6e">slew of defects</a>&nbsp;in Union Pacific's locomotives and railcars after sending out a team of inspectors, and the agency is still working to nail down what caused a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/union-pacific-railroad-safety-explosion-fra-inspections-afc2d979e5bdc2a88cb6b2bfc7583cd9">railcar to explode</a>&nbsp;in the railroad's massive railyard in western Nebraska.

Democratic Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, who cosponsored the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/derailment-ohio-safety-senate-legislation-brown-vance-82c55dc95aca9524d6ae8e6d01336dbe">bipartisan railroad safety bill</a>&nbsp;after the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/norfolk-southern-train-derailment-east-palestine-ohio-eab23ed0fd6577a5cf96e8fd301da681">East Palestine derailment,</a>&nbsp;called Union Pacific's meddling “unacceptable.”

“The big railroads keep fighting efforts to improve safety,” Brown said. “We need much stronger tools to stop railroad executives from putting their own profits and greed ahead of basic safety.”

Brown pledged to fight for a vote in the Senate soon on the bill that would set standards for trackside detectors and inspections that are supposed to catch problems before they can cause a derailment along with other changes. The House has yet to take up a railroad safety bill because Republican leaders wanted to wait until after the National Transportation Safety Board's final report on the East Palestine derailment that's expected in late June.

Whited told the Federal Railroad Administration that Union Pacific plans to launch an internal safety assessment this month, as the agency suggested, because “our goal is to be the safest railroad in North America, a place we know we can get to even more quickly with the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/railroad-safety-east-palestine-derailment-buttigieg-aar-a44191c3e7c8517995e9737e46ae7915">FRA's assistance.</a>&nbsp;”

But Cassity said he doubts an internal survey would be accurate because many Union Pacific workers are&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/railroad-safety-hotline-derailment-bnsf-610b06cac4a2f8094cdd3d51b72c74d9">afraid to speak out</a>&nbsp;about safety concerns. He said the prevailing attitude seems to be “move the freight at any cost,” making another major derailment all the more likely.

(AP) — Union Pacific managers undermined the U.S. government's efforts to&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/norfolk-southern-railroad-safety-derailment-ohio-25694e9f7fb9a5ee18c9800fb263b9a4">assess safety</a>&nbsp;at the railroad in the wake of several&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/railroad-safety-derailments-tank-car-ohio-minnesota-c60f33b64e9c7dc05768a78ae20f3ce5">high profile derailments</a>&nbsp;across the industry by coaching employees on how to respond and suggesting they might be&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/freight-railroad-whistleblowers-safety-derailments-3cd9619350bacc9c7c01c9a1910f3435">disciplined,</a>&nbsp;federal regulators say.The meddling was so widespread across Union Pacific’s 23-state network that the Federal Railroad Administration had no choice but to suspend its safety assessment of the company, the agency's chief safety officer, Karl Alexy, told Union Pacific executives&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/railroadworkers/status/1785362654758060475/photo/1">in a letter</a>&nbsp;dated last week that labor groups posted online Tuesday.The company indicated Wednesday that the issue was limited to one department. Its president told FRA in a response letter that Union Pacific“did not intend to influence or impede the assessment in any way.”The agency launched safety assessments of all major railroads in the U.S. at the urging of congressional leaders after Norfolk Southern’s&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/politics-pete-buttigieg-evacuations-ohio-explosions-64908a6416662b5866809387f210aee5">disastrous February 2023 derailment</a>&nbsp;in eastern Ohio, and the episode with Union Pacific may prompt lawmakers to finally act on&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/east-palestine-train-derailment-safety-regulations-railroad-4db52c68daf68da05425b5b70363fb0a">stalled railroad safety reforms</a>.“FRA has discovered that numerous employees were coached to provide specific responses to FRA questions if they were approached for a safety culture interview," Alexy wrote. "Reports of this coaching span the UPRR (Union Pacific railroad) system and railroad crafts. FRA has also encountered reluctance to participate in field interviews from employees who cite intimidation or fear of retaliation.”The chief of safety at the nation's largest rail union, Jared Cassity, noted that the FRA is so small that it must rely on the railroads to police themselves and report safety issues.“To think that a company the size of a Union Pacific is willing to go to great lengths to intimidate and harass their employees, so that they’re not honest in their assessment of a company’s safety culture. That begs the question of what else are you covering up?” said Cassity, who is with the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers' Transportation Division, also known as SMART-TD.A Union Pacific spokeswoman said the railroad believes regulators' concerns center on a message that one manager sent out to employees in his department across the railroad with a copy of the questions FRA planned to ask to help prepare them for an interview.“The steps we took were intended to help, not hinder, and were taken to educate and prepare our team for the assessment ethically and compliantly," Union Pacific President Beth Whited said in a response letter to the FRA on Tuesday. “We apologize for any confusion those efforts caused.”Last year, the FRA found a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/union-pacific-railroad-safety-fra-defects-a3727942095fc3bd585b42d60c45fa6e">slew of defects</a>&nbsp;in Union Pacific's locomotives and railcars after sending out a team of inspectors, and the agency is still working to nail down what caused a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/union-pacific-railroad-safety-explosion-fra-inspections-afc2d979e5bdc2a88cb6b2bfc7583cd9">railcar to explode</a>&nbsp;in the railroad's massive railyard in western Nebraska.Democratic Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, who cosponsored the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/derailment-ohio-safety-senate-legislation-brown-vance-82c55dc95aca9524d6ae8e6d01336dbe">bipartisan railroad safety bill</a>&nbsp;after the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/norfolk-southern-train-derailment-east-palestine-ohio-eab23ed0fd6577a5cf96e8fd301da681">East Palestine derailment,</a>&nbsp;called Union Pacific's meddling “unacceptable.”“The big railroads keep fighting efforts to improve safety,” Brown said. “We need much stronger tools to stop railroad executives from putting their own profits and greed ahead of basic safety.”Brown pledged to fight for a vote in the Senate soon on the bill that would set standards for trackside detectors and inspections that are supposed to catch problems before they can cause a derailment along with other changes. The House has yet to take up a railroad safety bill because Republican leaders wanted to wait until after the National Transportation Safety Board's final report on the East Palestine derailment that's expected in late June.Whited told the Federal Railroad Administration that Union Pacific plans to launch an internal safety assessment this month, as the agency suggested, because “our goal is to be the safest railroad in North America, a place we know we can get to even more quickly with the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/railroad-safety-east-palestine-derailment-buttigieg-aar-a44191c3e7c8517995e9737e46ae7915">FRA's assistance.</a>&nbsp;”But Cassity said he doubts an internal survey would be accurate because many Union Pacific workers are&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/railroad-safety-hotline-derailment-bnsf-610b06cac4a2f8094cdd3d51b72c74d9">afraid to speak out</a>&nbsp;about safety concerns. He said the prevailing attitude seems to be “move the freight at any cost,” making another major derailment all the more likely.

Union Pacific undermined regulators' efforts to assess safety, US agency says

Barry Gold, PhD, emeritus professor and former chair of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Pittsburgh, will receive an Honorary Doctorate of Science for achievement in the advancement of science and service in the health sciences fields.

Nebraskans Kent Lacey, MD, and Michael Sitorius, MD, will be honored with the J.G. Elliott Award for their significant contributions to medicine and health programs for the state of Nebraska. The honor is named for Jack Elliott, a longtime University of Nebraska regent who died in 1974.

The honorary doctorate is a homecoming for Dr. Gold, an esteemed scientist. Prior to his career at Pittsburgh, he spent more than 30 years at UNMC’s Eppley Institute for Research in Cancer and Allied Diseases and Eppley Cancer Center. At UNMC, Dr. Gold’s leadership was indispensable, both as a mentor to his fellow faculty members, and as acting, then interim director of the Eppley Institute at a crucial time.

Dr. Gold’s leadership of the Eppley Institute included establishing the foundation for building a strong program in DNA repair and the discussions which led to the founding of the Cattlemen's Ball of Nebraska. In the decades since, the Cattlemen’s Ball has raised millions for cancer research, and deepened UNMC’s outreach efforts to the state’s rural communities.

Dr. Lacey practiced family medicine in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, Jack Elliott’s hometown, for 37 years. Throughout his career, Dr. Lacey has been lauded for his mentorship of nursing and medical students and family medicine residents. And, for his caring manner.

In one especially memorable moment, Dr. Lacey made a reverse house call – while he had to stay home to watch his own kids, he invited a mother to bring her sick child to see him at his house. He recommended an ER visit for a spinal tap, which showed the young girl had meningitis.

Dr. Sitorius, a Cozad, Nebraska, native, meant to stay at UNMC for one year before going on to rural practice. Instead, over a 42-year career at UNMC, he’s arguably had as big an impact on rural health in the state of Nebraska as anyone in the past 40 years. The UNMC Department of Family Medicine under Dr. Sitorius’ leadership has had a role in training about 70% of Nebraska’s practicing family physicians. He has developed and overseen numerous initiatives to find potential medical students within Nebraska’s rural communities and see them return to the state’s rural areas as practicing physicians.
