Omaha girl treated for S.T.D.’s after finding condom at school
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – A 6-year-old girl has undergone a battery of
tests and precautionary treatment after finding a condom on her
school playground and, thinking it was a balloon, put it in her
mouth.
The incident happened Wednesday outside Lothrop Magnet Center
in northeast Omaha.
Omaha Public Schools spokeswoman Luanne Nelson says several
children found the condom, but only the girl handled it. Nelson
says a school nurse cleaned the girl’s mouth and hands, and then
called the girl’s father.
The girl’s parents took her to a doctor. She spent several hours
undergoing tests and receiving a shot for sexually transmitted
diseases as a precaution.
Nelson says it’s not known whether the condom had been used, but
that it was sent to a hospital for testing.

Pregnant woman sues Nebraska for unborn child aid
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – A pregnant woman who was denied medical assistance because of her immigration status is suing the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, claiming that her unborn child is entitled to the benefit even if she isn’t. Sarah Roe, a 33-year-old mother of three, filed the lawsuit late last week in Lancaster County District Court. The lawsuit says Roe has received prenatal care at her own expense sporadically throughout her pregnancy. Roe, who is about 9 months pregnant, filed for benefits under Nebraska’s medical assistance program in April. According to the lawsuit, her application was denied in June. Roe concedes in the lawsuit that she is an “ineligible alien” for purposes of the program. But she says her unborn child is eligible under the Nebraska Medical Assistance Act.
Dozens of rainbow trout die at west Nebraska lake
OGALLALA, Neb. (AP) – Authorities say a lack of oxygen has killed dozens of rainbow trout in western Nebraska’s Lake Ogallala. Nebraska Game and Parks Commission biologist Darrol Eichner told North Platte television station KNOP there’s a lack of oxygen in water near the lake bottom. Eichner believes the spillway that releases water from Lake McConaughey into Lake Ogallala is the problem. The mechanics of the release mechanism doesn’t allow much air to mix with the water as it is discharged from a gate at the bottom of the outlet chamber. Thus the fish aren’t getting as much oxygen in the water as they need. He says the fish kill has happened four or five times since the early 1980s and usually occurs in in late August and extends into September.
