It took a long time for Trey Alexander and Ryan Kalkbrenner to recover from the heart-wrenching ending to Creighton's NCAA Tournament run. Coach Greg McDermott said he didn't even watch the video until late July. “We're just trying to get back to the same point we were,” Alexander said, “and we know we have to work harder than we did last year to have a different outcome.”
During the holiday season, Abide's Second Saturday offers more than food to those in need. Saturday morning, 300 volunteers helped hand out thousands of toys as well as hot meals, boxes of frozen food, and even diapers.
And those are the most recent findings from the ongoing environmental disaster cited in a 97-page complaint filed against the Kansas-based company in Saunders County District Court by the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office decisive, desperately needed action.
The complaint is the latest effort to force the recalcitrant company to end the generation of pollutants from the troubled ethanol plant and clean up the land and water contaminated by pesticides from the treated seed corn used there.
The pesticides became infused in the distiller’s grain, an end result of the ethanol-creation process, as well as being captured in the plant’s wastewater runoff and sold for use as treatment on area farmland.
