Nebraska Funeral Home disciplined following cremation of remains without a license. September 27, 2026 9:06 pm by Karli Ferry 8 total views, 8 views today Suzanne Gage This week, Nebraska's Chief Medical Officer placed Dorsey Funeral Home and Cremations on probation following a petition filed by the Nebraska Attorney General's Office. On June 4, 2026, the Nebraska Attorney General's Office filed a Petition for Disciplinary Action in response to Dorsey Funeral Home and Cremations for cremating the remains of three decedents whose bodies were unclaimed in May 2025 as part of a training exercise. The establishment was not licensed at the time of the cremations. The Petition charged the facility with operating without a license and aiding and abetting the provision of false statements on death certificates of the three decedents. The Order entered by the Chief Medical Officer places the Dorsey establishment license on probation for a term of two years and requires the establishment to be supervised by a licensed funeral director and embalmer who is actively engaged in the practice in Nebraska and whose own license is in good standing.
Nebraska Ethanol Board expands. The Nebraska Ethanol Board (NEB) recently welcomed three Nebraska ethanol producers to the board as new voting members. Todd Good from Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Joe Shanle from Trenton Agri Products (TAP), and Brent Hoops from Chief Ethanol were appointed by Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen to fill the three newly-created ethanol producer seats on the NEB, effective immediately. The NEB's strategic plan legislation, Legislative Bill (LB) 815, passed earlier this year by the Nebraska Legislature with supermajority support and subsequently signed into law by Gov. Pillen, included provisions to add three ethanol producer seats to the NEB. The seats became open on Sept. 1 and were required to be filled with initial appointees within 30 days. Gov. Pillen also reappointed Jamie Bearup to the NEB labor position for a four-year term, and Scott McPheeters was reappointed for another term, now in the general farming position. McPheeters replaces Michael Thede, who retired from the NEB at the conclusion of his term on August 31. The NEB now has nine voting members, each representing a sector of the fuel value chain. Ethanol producers Good, Shanle and Hoops join Chairman Jan tenBensel (wheat), Vice Chairman Scott McPheeters (general farming), Secretary Randy Gard (petroleum marketers), Jamie Bearup (labor), Taylor Nelson (corn), and Tracy Zink (sorghum) as voting members. The Board is also supported by a technical advisor. University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chemical Engineering Professor Dr. Hunter Flodman holds that position.
LPD releases results of summer speeding enforcement campaign. Lincoln Police have released the results of a three-month traffic enforcement campaign aimed at preventing speeding and reducing serious and fatal crashes. The enforcement project ran from June 1 through August 31, with officers working overtime to patrol high-traffic corridors and areas where serious collisions are more likely to occur. LPD Public Information Manager Erika Thomas says speed remains one of the primary contributing factors in fatal traffic crashes. During the campaign, officers made 826 traffic stops and issued 994 citations. Thomas says speeding accounted for 326 citations, while another 322 citations were issued for registration violations. Officers also issued 79 insurance citations, 72 seatbelt violations, 20 stop-sign violations and five traffic-signal citations. Three citations involved child seatbelt violations. The enforcement effort also resulted in eight criminal charges, 11 warrant arrests and 30 for driving under suspension. LPD says the high-visibility campaign was funded through its traffic-safety partnership with the Nebraska Department of Transportation Highway Safety Office.

She has a master's in business administration and bachelor's degree in communication and mass media from Northwest Missouri State University. Sharpe will be primarily located in Norfolk and work throughout the state with Nebraska's manufacturing sector. Her role will be convening and coordinating leaders from education, workforce and policy partners to create initiatives, build networks and increase NE Chamber manufacturing membership and the impact of manufacturing.

She will begin her role in September. "Erin has an established network and is a leading influence in Nebraska manufacturing, which will be greatly beneficial to manufacturers and industry partners," said Young. "Her experience at iHub and leadership in northeast Nebraska are a great fit with the NE Chamber."

"We are incredibly grateful for her contributions and proud to see her take on this important statewide role. We congratulate Erin and look forward to continuing our work together in support of Nebraska manufacturers and the future workforce they depend on."
