LINCOLN Grimacing and taking deep breaths, Dave Shemek struggles just to stand.

His muscles are weak.

Hold it. Hold it. Look. Keep your eyes open, Colleen Sankey says, speaking firmly and deliberately so Shemek can read her lips.

Sankey, an occupational therapist, instead takes hold of her iPhone and speaks into it.

She is going to loosen the sling behind you and you need to work on keeping your trunk tight and your butt in and dont go with the sling, she says.

Her message displays on the screen. Sankey holds the phone in front of Shemek so he can read the instructions. Its the easiest way to communicate with him during therapy sessions because he lost his hearing. She mimics her command to Shemek as physical therapist Shannon Roth adjusts the sling that was holding him up.

The Columbus man fights to hold form. His arms are outstretched on the table in front of him. After just a few moments, his breath comes in gasps and he clenches his eyes closed.

This is really tiring. If he was weaning (off the ventilator), it would be harder. He wouldnt do an activity like this. Just breathing on your own is difficult, Sankey says.

On this day, he was able to stand for about 14 minutes.

Im so thirsty, Shemek said, trying to wet his dry lips.

A FINANCIALLY stricken, rundown, rabbit-infested farm was Susan Campbells introduction to life in the country.

A FINANCIALLY stricken, rundown, rabbit-infested farm was Susan Campbells introduction to life in the country.

The Toorak-raised landscape architect could be forgiven for wishing to return to the city, but instead she accepted those challenges and her successful fightback is reflected in todays honours.

She has received an Order of Australia Medal for service to conservation and the environment.

Its a long way from 1966 when she and her husband Sandy bought a property at Byawatha, near Wangaratta.

It was rundown and rabbit-ridden, but it was the only one we could afford and it was somewhere we thought we could make a difference, Mrs Campbell said.

It wasnt making much of a profit, there was half a sheep to an acre, and it was looked down upon by the neighbours.

It had a sign on the gate saying all shooters, please come in when we bought it because of the rabbits.

In the late 1950s and early '60s, Nebraska reintroduced wild turkeys from other states to its landscape after the big birds had been wiped out decades earlier during the nations westward expansion.

The reintroduction was so successful that turkeys have again become common border-to-border, and Nebraska is now able to pay the favor forward to another state.

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission led an effort this week to trap wild turkeys on a ranch near Whiteclay in northern Sheridan County for relocation to Montana.

The turkeys were held overnight Thursday and picked up by Montana state wildlife staff Friday morning for release in the Great Falls area.

A total of 91 birds were caught, including 13 males or toms, the commission said in a news release.

Game and Parks employees lured the birds to three roughly 400-square-foot netted enclosures and closed each door with the pull of a cord. A cadre of volunteers, largely consisting of Chadron State College students, then helped them process the birds.

Each turkey was checked by a veterinarian and placed in a cardboard box provided by the National Wild Turkey Federation. The boxes of birds were stored in a livestock trailer until the journey west.

Although they can be tricky to catch in the enclosure, the birds usually become rather docile once caught, said Todd Nordeen, the commission's big game research manager who led the relocation effort.

Nebraska has used wildlife from other states for reintroduction efforts within its borders, including bighorn sheep that were captured in Montana and brought to Nebraska.

Nordeen said Montanas state wildlife division is seeking turkeys with characteristics of the Merriams subspecies. The distinct wide white band found across the tail feathers of those birds is predominant among northwestern Nebraskas turkey population.

SPRING HILL Fighting to preserve the citys historical significance before construction on new developments, several citizens voiced concerns during last weeks transportation study.

The meeting to discuss the proposed Crossings Circle South extension, which would extend from the Crossings shopping center to Kedron Road, was the hottest topic. Understanding the difficult balance to preserve historic battleground and create better, safer connectivity for the city was the purpose of the meeting, Assistant City Administrator Dan Allen said.

This is the study to try and look at a way to solve that issue, but thats not the only issue, Allen said. Weve got property owners who are interested in their rights and wanting to do some developments on the other side, we also have a historic battlefield.

Increasing building permits issued each year is a clear sign Spring Hills growth will continue, Allen said, and with growth comes demand for retail and increased traffic issues. For the area being considered, his presentation broke down the history of the Battle of Spring Hill, three options for the proposed road extension and the balance the city is trying to achieve to ensure the Civil War land is protected.

Weve had lots of public meetings on a lot of different issues primarily to do with transportation, Allen said. And Im thoroughly convinced the typical resident of Spring Hill has no idea we have a battlefield. Were going to start to change that conversation tonight.

The project initially stemmed from complaints regarding the Crossings single roundabout entrance and the safety issues it was causing to both citizens and city officials, Allen said. Of the battlefield that remains undeveloped, around 30 acres of the western portion, where Allan said the most intensive fighting occurred, remains unpreserved.

If approved, the road would be renamed as Luther Bradley Parkway. Bradley, a Union Brigadier General, was severely wounded during the Battle of Spring Hill. His forces held the initial hill, later named Bradley Hill, then Weaver Hill, and later Battlefield Hill.

If you build a road next to a battlefield, I just dont think its appropriate to call it Crossings Circle South, Allen said.

The city hired Volkert, Inc. and Kimley-Horn & Associates to conduct a study on the area to determine the best options for laying a new road without affecting the battlefield, if that were even possible. Brad Thompson of Volkert broke down three options, each with its own pros and cons regarding the battlefield.

The road itself would be four 11-foot lanes, separated by a 15-foot landscape median, 5-foot bicycle lanes and 5-foot pedestrian sidewalks, Thompson said.

Spring Hills challenge: Balance past, future

ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va (WVIR) - Bulldozers are clearing trees and moving dirt on 73-acres just outside Charlottesville city limits, making way for a new shopping center.

The 5th Street Station is expected to bring more than 500 jobs to Albemarle County.

Everyone is working well together; the county, the developer, the shopping store management. And we're trying to stay in touch and make sure this project comes out as good as it could possibly come out, said Albemarle Co. Board of Supervisor Chair Jane Dittmar.

Currently, crews are clearing land and putting in underground infrastructure. By the fall of 2016, a Wegmans grocery store will be open. Field and Stream, Dick's Sporting Goods, Petsmart and Panera Bread will follow soon after.

The whole south side of the county is underserved for shopping. This is going to be great for them. It saves them time. It saves them transportation costs, said Albemarle Co. Supervisor Liz Palmer.

Riverbend Development is now working on the second phase of leasing retail space for the shopping center.

They have about 75,000 square feet in negotiations, so we're looking forward to finding out who might be joining the original tenants fairly soon, Dittmar said.

A road connecting Avon Street and 5th Street is expected to be completed by the year as well.

Even people that are not interested in necessarily, oh wow great shopping' and new service businesses are looking forward to easy access between those two roads, said Dittmar

Supervisor Palmer says tax revenue from the shopping center will allow the county to make other improvements in that area.
