All Care says access to affordable dental care is lacking nationwide, especially for people on Medicaid. The nonprofit hopes to raise $1.3 million for the clinic, which it says will eventually serve 8,000 patients per year. KMTV calls this a developing story, so more details may follow.

Omaha's average gas price slides to $3.76 a gallon as Veterans Day events fill the metro

If you're filling up this week, the pump is finally cutting you a break. The average price for a gallon of gasoline was continuing to slide going into Monday, and it's $3.76 a gallon in Omaha. An analyst cites a "seasonal shift, not politics."

Planning to mark Veterans Day? Events around the Omaha area offer chances to remember, celebrate and connect, with ceremonies, concerts and networking planned this week. We suggest Offutt Brass: the Air Force musicians play a free concert at The Durham in Omaha on Wed., Nov. 11, at 2 p.m.
