2 days ago | omahadailyrecord.com | Pablo Fernandez |Pablo Fernández

Wood is, by far, the most common material used in the U.S. for single-family home construction. But wood construction isn’t engineered for long-term durability, and it often underperforms, particularly in the face of increasingly common extreme weather events.

Will you donate $132 to honor your fellow physician, Dr. Susan La Flesche Picotte? The Nebraska Medical Association put the word out to its members in 2021. Who’s that? Nebraska doctors asked. After they learned her story, $600,000 in donations poured in. In 1889 — 132 years before the ask — La Flesche made American history when she became the first Native American to earn a medical degree.
Would Past Generations Be Proud Of America Today?

1 week ago | omahadailyrecord.com | Tom Becka

I’m writing this column on Father’s Day. On this day, I’m thinking about all my dad taught me about America. He was a WWII veteran who was proud of his service and proud of his country. As I grew up in the 60s, he taught me we weren’t perfect, but America was still the best country out there. I wonder what he’d think of America today. I wonder what he would think about the optics of the military parade.

At 20 years old, he was no longer the popular high school wrestler and football player in suburban Omaha. He was lost inside paranoia and violence. A doctor gave him a name for it: schizoaffective disorder. When he was arrested in March 2019, Jacque Palczynski begged to get her son out of the Douglas County Jail. An employee gave her a form. “She gave me hope that he would be able to go to a hospital,” Palczynski said.
Paperwork

The military has been called out, families’ lives have been ruined, and people are living in fear, all because immigrants who want to live and work in this country in peace don’t have the proper paperwork. Are there violent gang members and drug dealers in the country illegally? Yes, most certainly. Should those people be deported or locked up for a long time? No doubt. But do you really think violent drug dealers are moonlighting as dishwashers, roofers, maids, gardeners, and other hard menial jobs?

WASHINGTON — Small business owners and community leaders from rural regions in Western states including Alaska, Colorado, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Utah pressed lawmakers on Capitol Hill this week to preserve clean energy tax credits on the chopping block in the Republicans’ “one big beautiful” mega-bill, now in the Senate.
Want A Sustainable Child Care System? Invest In Family Child Care Educators

1 week ago | omahadailyrecord.com | Jessica Sager

When I was growing up, I learned quickly what it means to be a caregiver. My brother faced a host of physical and mental health challenges, and I helped him navigate a world that didn’t always meet his needs. That experience shaped my life, and ultimately, my work with family child care educators, who show up for children and families every single day. Caregiving is essential, especially for families with young children. And yet, in our society, caregivers are ignored.

OMAHA — Putting a face on the personal toll of worksite immigration raids, Douglas County Board Chair Roger Garcia on Wednesday shared that his own family member was among the nearly 80 people detained in Tuesday’s high-profile federal operation.

So is the mom of a college friend.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that China will make it easier for American industry to obtain much-needed needed magnets and rare earth minerals, clearing the way for talks to continue between the world's two biggest economies.

Trump’s comment on social media came after two days of high-level U.S.-China trade talks in London. Details remain scarce.

(Nikos Frazier / Omaha World-Herald via AP)Omaha is about to embark on a new era. Well, sort of a new era. I wonder how much will really change since the new Omaha mayor has kept almost every department head of the old Omaha mayor.
