Have you heard about the Leaf Legacy Project from Terrytown, Nebraska? The city is preparing to begin work on the Leaf Legacy Project, funded through the Urban and Community Forestry Grant by Plant Nebraska and the USDA Forest Service. The first phase of the project will focus on Terry's Lake. The city will be seeking bids for tree pruning, tree removal and stump grinding, and tree planting. Contractors may submit bids for one or more of these activities. Mandatory pre-bid tour will be held at 10 a.m. on October 9th. Contractors must attend the tour to be eligible to submit a bid. The group will meet at the southeast entrance of Terry's Lake off Martha Road. In a recent court case reported on by our courthouse reporter Raul Fernandez, a Terrytown man pled guilty Monday to three misdemeanor charges stemming from a September incident involving the alleged violation of a domestic abuse protection order. Nicholas Salazar, 24, of Scotts Bluff appeared by video on the 5th before District Judge Leo Dobrovolny. A fourth count of public indecency, indecent exposure, a Class 2 misdemeanor, was dismissed. According to an affidavit of probable cause, officers responded to the residence around 11.03 p.m. after receiving a call from a protected party. The reporting party told law enforcement that Salazar had repeatedly called her phone despite an active protection order. She also reported that Salazar later arrived at the residence, knocked on the door, and urinated on the front door, doorstep, and inside the residence. Police reviewed security camera footage and Salazar was arrested without further incident. Find that story on our news page. That's going to do it for today's scanner news.
