Good morning, Lincoln.

Branched Oak Observatory hosted its first-ever First Responders Appreciation night at sundown Sunday to give first responders free access to star-gazing with high-end equipment including a Rolls Royce telescope—staff hoped the event would let them relax with family and friends—and raffle prizes were also offered.

On Sunday, firefighters responded to a fire at the Argosy Apartments in east Lincoln just after 3 p.m.—residents were evacuated and a man who tried to put out the blaze was taken to hospital after a dryer reportedly ignited and caused room damage, with the incident under investigation.

A collision between a westbound vehicle and a motorized bike crossing mid block in midtown Lincoln left the 29-year-old rider in critical but stable condition at a hospital—responders provided aid quickly.

Officials announced that the state's three largest counties will receive $13.5 million in grants (Lancaster County will get $2.65 million) to support affordable housing projects.

People’s City Mission plans a 69,000 square-foot expansion near 110 Q St.—the project will upgrade the men’s shelter to include a low-barrier section if the county provides a police presence and add a new women and children’s shelter, with planning commission approval expected on June 25.

Lincoln immigration lawyer Allison Heimes said the legal citizenship process takes a long time because outdated rules—few judges and slow hearings—create a large backlog that leaves many immigrants with insecure status while waiting for their green cards.

She stressed that following the legal path remains a lengthy process.

Former Husker and national champion Diandra Asbaty returns to Lincoln for the US Women’s Open at Sun Valley Lanes today after being added to the Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame last week.
