OXFORD MAN WAVES HEARINGS An Oxford man has waived hearings in Furnas County District Court Tuesday on new charges filed in a Sex Trafficking of a Minor investigation. An attor-ney for fifty-six-year-old William “Billy” Quinn submitted the written docu-ments indicating Quinn pled not guilty to all 15 charges against him. Charges include five counts of First Degree Sexual Assault of a Child, two counts of Human Sex Trafficking of a Minor, three counts of Manufacturing- Visual De-piction of Sexually Explicit Conduct, two counts of Possession- Visual Depiction of Sexually Explicit Conduct, two counts of Enticement by Electronic Communi-

cation Device and one count of Child Abuse. The charges stem from alleged incidents involving a minor female from June 2019 through January 2020. Some of the charges carry a maximum penalty of life in prison. A date for Quinn’s next court hearing in Furnas County District Court was not immediately set.

NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH Nebraska Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and local emergency managers across the state are urging Nebraskans to plan now for potential disasters. “We want to urge all Nebraskans to make an emergency plan with their families during National Preparedness Month,” said NEMA Assistant Di-rector Bryan Tuma. “Make your plan today, and be prepared to take care of yourselves for at least 72 hours after a disaster.” Local officials and relief workers may not be able to help everyone immediately after a disaster so it is recommended that you have your own food, water and supplies and other essentials in the event of an emergency. There are a variety of tools online which can make assembling your kit a fun family project. Check out the Family

Disaster Preparedness Kit available on NEMA’s website for an easy to assem-ble list of items to include in your kit. Visit nema.nebraska.gov and click on the Are You Ready? Information for even more information on preparedness. Emergency Planning information for families, pet owners, senior citizen and people with functional needs, as well as, those who work in agriculture, busi-ness, health care facilities and schools, is available on the www.bereadynebraska.com, a site maintained by Nebraska local emergency managers.

COLLEGE SAVINGS MONTH State Treasurer John Murante thanked Governor Pete Ricketts for issuing a proclamation declaring September ‘College Savings Month’ in Ne-braska. Studies have shown that planning early and having a dedicated sav-ings plan such as Nebraska’s NEST529 account – can dramatically increase a child’s chances of achieving the dream of higher education. The declaration reads, in part, “We recognize the challenges ahead as we strive to make sure that our children have the education, knowledge, and skills needed to excel

and to become contributing members of our state’s strong, vibrant workforce.” The declaration continues that it “is in the best interest of the State of Ne-braska that access to post-secondary education, including community colleges and technical schools, be available for all our children. Encouraging parents to save for their children’s education promotes the public purpose.” “Choice in education helps empower the next generation of Nebraskans to achieve their dreams,” said Gov. Ricketts. “College Savings Month highlights the importance of saving and planning ahead, which will help give your kids more options as they pursue the education or vocational training program of their choice.” “This College Savings Month, as students embark on the next step of their educational journey, we are reminded that their bright futures in higher education are right around the corner and it is wonderful that people are still thinking about their children’s future. I am proud to work alongside Governor Ricketts to continually raise awareness and ensure that Nebraska students understand the value of higher education and are encouraged to look for creative and responsible ways to save,” Murante said.

The Big Ten must disclose additional information related to its

decision to postpone fall sports and do so in the next 10 days,

the Lancaster County District Court ruled Wednesday. The order

comes less than a week after eight Nebraska football players

sued the league on multiple counts for its decision to push back

fall sports. The Big Ten must produce all documents reflecting

whether an official vote was taken on the decision, including

the official tally but not including how individual members

voted. It must also reveal in full its governing documents and

bylaws it submitted 13 pages of bylaws to the court last week

but redacted more than 11 full pages. “The court’s order recog-

nizes the time-sensitive nature of the lawsuit,” said Mike

Flood, the lead attorney for NU players, in a statement.
