Good morning, Omaha.

Omaha city leaders supported the groundbreaking of a new facility by Collective for Hope—set to be the city's only center dedicated to handling grief.

The center will offer free support to teens, adults and children while helping local organizations understand grief’s impact.

Early Tuesday morning, officers with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office clocked a Honda Civic at 98 MPH in a 55 MPH zone near 144th and West Dodge Road in west Omaha and arrested driver Roman Pereira-Coc for felony DUI — his blood alcohol level was .216 and he faces a third DUI charge.

Omaha City Council approved the final plat for Civic Square Tuesday, setting plans to convert the old civic auditorium site into a mixed-use area with retail, affordable housing and a grocery store between 17th and 19th streets and Chicago and Capitol.

Developers reported $2.7 million in infrastructure contracts will start work this year and be finished by late spring or early summer—enhancing local ties with a planned collegiate extension near Creighton.

The City of Omaha has limited funds to supply inverted U bicycle racks to local property owners and will install the rack free if it is on a public right-of-way plus the city will provide a free rack for private property if the owner agrees to install it.

Omaha City Council will hear findings from the city’s poverty elimination action plan—a report over 100 pages with six key proposals for housing, transportation, jobs and education—and leaders will submit it to the state by July 1.

Thomas Coker, a 75-year-old Omaha man on hospice, had his birthday wish fulfilled when his care team and the Dreamweaver Foundation arranged for him to attend a College World Series game (a moment that honored his life-long love of baseball).

Today at the College World Series, Arkansas’ pitcher Gage Wood threw a no-hit game with 19 strikeouts—recording a strong performance that kept his team in Omaha as Murray State made history by reaching the series for the first time.

LSU beat UCLA 9-5 after a long weather delay—moving them one win away from the championship series.

KETV meteorologist Luke Vickery reviewed the rules for lightning delays as he recalled a College World Series game delay on June 20, 2011—when a severe storm pushed the Florida-Vanderbilt game to the next day after a 69-mph wind gust was recorded at Eppley Airfield and tornadoes were reported near York and Kearney.

Dr. Joaquin Santos has served as a medic at College World Series games in Omaha for 38 years — bringing four Kansas College of Osteopathic Medicine students each year to work in the dugouts — and he cherishes moments such as Wichita State’s 1989 championship as he continues his work.

For 75 years, the College World Series has drawn college baseball fans to Omaha, starting in 1947 and taking root here in 1950.

The long-standing partnership with the NCAA has secured the event in Omaha through 2036 — a legacy that continues to boost local pride and community spirit.
