TWO FATALITIES Two fatalities have been confirmed in a vehicle crash yester-day on U.S. Highway 83. The crash occurred at 11:06 a.m. north of McCook. The collision involved a semitrailer truck and a car. Specifics about what caused the crash or the models of the vehicle involved, pending notification of the family of those who were killed.

AGRICULTURAL POLICY President Donald Trump highlighted his administration’s agri-cultural policy during a campaign visit to the Omaha metro area. Trump pointed out he has given the go-ahead for higher ethanol content to be mixed with gasoline and sold throughout the year. “My administration is protecting ethanol, alright? That’s what you want to hear,” Trump said to the delight of the crowd. “Today, we are unleashing the power of E-15 to be fuel our country all year long, not eight months. All year long.” Earlier in the day, Trump approved the sale of the higher ethanol blend of gasoline throughout the entire year, lifting the restriction of its sale. Trump also touted the recent completion of trade talks with Canada, which will pave the way for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to be replaced with the United States-Mexico Canada Agree-ment. The president said the new trade deal will benefit Mid-western farmers and ranchers. Trump also had a warning for the Republicans gathered for his appearance. The president said that if Republicans failed to get to the polls for the mid-term elections next month, Democrats would win majorities in Congress and seek to undo his administration’s policies.

NUMEROUS DRUGS SEIZED State troopers have seized numerous drugs, including 5,000 THC hash oil vape cartridges, during three separate stops in western Nebraska on Interstate 80. The THC hash oil vape cartridges were seized during a stop Saturday afternoon when a trooper pulled over a vehicle which didn’t move over for an emergency vehicle. The trooper detected the odor of marijuana. The cartridges were taken, along with an ounce of suspected khat. Twenty-five-year-old Mohamed Abdulla of Brooklyn, New York and 43-year-old Sarhan Abdullah of New Haven, Connecticut face a number of drug charges. Both have been jailed in Lincoln County. A trooper found 26 pounds of marijuana in the luggage of a car he pulled over late Sunday afternoon for speeding on I-80. Thirty-eight-year-old Keshi Wu of Alameda, California and 36-year-old Min-chao Yu of Brooklyn, New York have been arrested on sev-eral drugs charges and have been jailed in Kimball County.

INTERESTING FACT

Chipmunks and other small rodents have fast reaction time because

they process light faster. Relative to us humans, they see the world in

slow motion.
