LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Grants are now available for communities that want to plant trees in Nebraska.

The Trees for Nebraska Towns program is accepting grant applications through Oct. 1, and roughly $200,000 is available this year. The program focuses on creating plant diversity and sustainable landscapes.

Grant coordinator Kendall Weyers says Nebraska communities have lost between 30 and 50 percent of their tree canopy to disease, insects, weather and other ailments over the last few decades. The grants seek to replenish those lost trees.

Projects must offer a clear public benefit to qualify, and must be located near or within a community’s incorporated limits. Possible sites include parks, schools, college campuses and courthouses.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a 20-year-old car driver has been killed in a rollover crash on the south side of Lincoln.

The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office says Trevor Underwood, of Eagle, was driving east on Saltillo Road just after 11 p.m. Saturday when he lost control of his car. It rolled after entering a ditch and ejected Underwood.

His passenger was flown to BryanLGH Medical Center West for treatment.

Authorities say alcohol use is believed to have been a factor in the crash.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Health inspectors conducting food checks at the Lancaster County Super Fair this week found food being stored at unsafe temperatures and some unsanitary conditions.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports that the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department inspection inside the fair buildings found corn dogs that weren’t being kept hot enough and meats in malfunctioning coolers that weren’t cold enough.

Joyce Jensen says the food in question was immediately thrown out.

Other violations included flies in food preparation areas, unclean surfaces and inaccurate thermometers, improperly washed fruits and vegetables.

The fair ends this weekend. No food-related illnesses from the fair have been reported.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An editor at Nebraskaland Magazine has researched and written a guide that focuses on where people can fish in and around Omaha.

The free, eight-page publication is called “Fishing the Metro: A Guide to Omaha’s Lakes and Waterways.” It was written by Nebraskaland associate editor Jeff Kurrus and includes a map and information on restrictions, facilities and the fish types at each location.

The publication was included in the July issue of Nebraskaland. It’s now available wherever fishing permits are sold in the Omaha area and at Nebraska Game and Parks Commission district offices and service centers.
