An idea to help the hungry becomes reality
SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) — An idea begun last year by four people in western Nebraska to feed the hungry is doing just that — to the 
tune of more than 300 people a week.
Ron McFarland, of Gering says that the idea was born when he and his wife and another couple began talking about want to feed the hungry.
On a cold night in January 2011, the four served their first home-cooked meals from their minivans to 42 hungry people.
They served the meals every Friday night, and more people began to show up.
Now the service, known as The Matthew Project, serves an average of 168 each Tuesday and Friday night from a large truck with the help of 122 volunteer cooks.
City of Lincoln staff define rights of house renters
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Those hoping to make a little extra money by renting out their Lincoln homes during Nebraska football games are in for some bad news.
It’s against city ordinance for those outside the downtown district to rent their homes out on a short-term basis.
City staff looked into the matter after seeing a story about a company that’s listing Lincoln homes for rent during home-game weekends.
Assistant City Attorney Jeff Kirkpatrick says short-term rental falls under the definition of “lodging house” in the city zoning code. The zoning code says lodging houses are allowed only in downtown Lincoln.
Mike Doyle of Rent Like A Champion says that’s too restrictive. Doyle says most communities use a permit system to keep track of short-term rentals.
North Platte is one of six cities receiving grant money

Grand Island will receive $270,010 to help pay for sewer upgrades that the city is investing $1.3 million in.
All the other cities are receiving $175,000 grants.
Columbus and Fremont plan to use the money to rehabilitate several homes in their areas.
Kearney and North Platte plan to use their grants for street and sewer projects.
Norfolk plans to rehab four downtown businesses and complete street work.
Bullpen Collapse Costs Rockies in Loss (LISTEN LIVE TONIGHT on ESPN Radio 1410)
A chance for another series win and a winning road trip slipped away from the Colorado Rockies in a 9-6 loss to the San Francisco Giants yesterday afternoon. The Rockies’ four-man rotation experiment has exacerbated the stress on their bullpen, and that was in evidence in what would be a fatal eighth inning. With six outs to go and a 6-4 lead, the normally reliable but overworked Matt Belisle allowed a run to score and departed with the bases loaded and one out. Closer Rafael Betancourt came in and promptly gave up a game-tying sac fly and a game-losing three-run home run to the Giants’ Hunter Pence. Eric Young Jr. had three hits and drove in a run to lead the Rockies offensive attack in the defeat. The Rockies return home tonight to open a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers. ESPN Radio 1410 has the action, with the pregame show at 7:05 and first pitch at 7:40.
Husker Training Camp Update: OT Moore Leaves Team ‘Temporarily’, May Transfer

Sophmore tackle Tyler Moore, who started the first four games of his true freshman season and was expected to contend for a starting role this year, is not presently with the program. Bo Pelini described Moore’s absence as temporary, saying he has some personal issues to work through. But reports out of Tampa, Florida have suggested that Moore, who hails from nearby Clearwater, may be close to transferring to the University of South Florida.
