(AP) — An Omaha woman has been given five years of probation and an order to pay restitution on forged payroll checks.
Federal prosecutors say 39-year-old Tara Heitkamp was sentenced on Monday for making and possessing a forged security.
Prosecutors say Heitkamp was a bookkeeper at a real estate management company when she embezzled nearly $28,600. Prosecutors say she used a signature stamp to sign extra, unauthorized payroll checks to herself from 2007 through 2010.
(AP) — The Grand Island council has approved a $5,000 contribution to a legal fight fund for keeping a veterans home in the south-central Nebraska community.
The City Council voted 9-0 Tuesday night to approve the expenditure. The money will join the $5,000 pledged by Hall County and the $2,500 promised by both the Grand Island Area Economic Development Corp. and the Grand Island Area Chamber of Commerce.
The $15,000 will be used to determine how Grand Island could challenge the state decision to build a replacement home in Kearney, which Gov. Dave Heineman announced on July 12. The Grand Island Veterans Home has been part of the community since the Soldiers and Sailors Home opened in 1888.
(AP) — Scientists have found a clue to the cause of age-related memory problems. It’s part of the quest to one day tell if those misplaced car keys are just a senior moment or an early warning of something worse.
Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center examined donated human brains, and found a gene in an important memory region quits working properly in older people. It produces less of a key protein.
Then they adjusted levels of that protein in mice, which become forgetful when they age in much the same way that people do. Lower levels of the protein made healthy young rodents perform worse on memory tasks. But boosting the protein made forgetful old mice as sharp as youngsters again.
The research was reported in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
(AP) — Officials say the new Interstate 80 interchange on the east side of Kearney will do far more for the city than just feed tourists to the Great Platte River Road Archway.
The interchange opened Tuesday with fanfare and visitors including Gov. Dave Heineman, U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer and other officials.
The interchange was first sought to stimulate and accommodate city growth. The city for years had but one way off and on the interstate. The new interchange will help the growing city as well as help the city provide emergency services.
Joel Johnson of the archway foundation board says the interchange indeed will help the tourist attraction, which has declared bankruptcy. The route from the longtime Kearney interchange to the archway museum required westbound travelers to double back.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 26, 2013 — The East Stadium expansion will be the most obvious change for Cornhusker football fans when they arrive at Memorial Stadium to set a stadium attendance record in Nebraska’s season opener vs. Wyoming on Aug. 31. The expansion elevates the height of the stadium’s east side, adds 6,000 new seats, 38 suites and a new club level and increases the stadium’s average attendance to more than 91,000. In addition, for the first time in two years, all stadium gates will be open.
There are also some new policies and procedures in Memorial Stadium:
> Mobile tickets will be accepted; tickets can be stored on mobile devices and scanned at the gates.
> Bags larger than 13 inches by 10 inches will not be allowed in the stadium (security will use containers at the entrances to measure bags).
> Escalator and elevator access will be restricted to those fans holding tickets to their respective areas in the premium level and the 600 East Stadium level.
> No entry or re-entry will be allowed after the start of the fourth quarter.
> A free bike valet service will be provided at Cook Pavilion by UNL Campus Recreation. For details, go tohttps://bike.unl.edu/bikevalet.
Other stadium policies remain unchanged from previous years.
Tickets at all gates will be scanned with an optical reader for entrance and for re-entry if someone leaves the stadium. No re-entry is allowed beginning at the start of the fourth quarter.
Fans will again have the ability to report safety concerns to UNL Police via SMS (Short Message Service) text messaging. Anyone with a cellular phone and SMS capabilities can initiate a text message to 69050, keyword, “UNLPD,” and type in their complaint and location. Standard SMS rates will apply. The text number is the same as the one used in 2012.
UNL students will be seated in Sections 9 through 14 in the southeast corner of Memorial Stadium, and all student seating is general admission. Students with tickets for East Stadium seating (Sections 9, 10 and 11) must pick up a required wristband at the tent east of Gate 23 beginning four hours prior to kickoff each game; when stadium gates open, they will enter Memorial Stadium through Gate 23. Wristbands are not required for students with tickets for South Stadium seating (Sections 12, 13 and 14, entering through Gate 24). UNL student tickets are sent to the students’ valid NCard which will be scanned at the gate for admission. They must be scanned in and out just like a regular ticket. All transfers of student tickets will be done electronically via https://www.huskers.com. If the transfer is made to a non-UNL student, the validation fee will be charged and a print-at-home ticket is issued. If transferred to another full-time student, then the ticket will be sent to the recipient’s NCard. Validated student tickets for East Stadium seating require a wristband.
Fans are asked to help the “Big Red Go Green” in a stepped-up recycling program this fall by depositing their plastic bottles and cups in marked recycling bins located near every trash receptacle.
Memorial Stadium gates will open 1 hour and 30 minutes before kickoff of each game and ticket holders are encouraged to enter the gate number printed on their ticket. Express lanes will be in effect at stadium gates again and fans are encouraged to “travel light.” Ticket-holders who are not carrying items that are subject to inspection (purses, fanny packs, camera bags and water bottles) can use the express lanes. Fans carrying such items must use the other lanes. Backpacks are not permitted in Memorial Stadium.
The Husker Nation Pavilion will be back for its 10th year, with most activities taking place on the Gass practice field, where the Huskers practice daily northeast of Memorial Stadium. It will be open 3 hours prior to kickoff and will provide free and fun activities for the whole family, games, music, autograph signings and appearances by current and former athletes across many sports.
Stadium Drive on the west side of the stadium will also have food vendors and some game-related activities.
Memorial Stadium policies:
> Stadium gates open 90 minutes prior to kickoff.
> Outside chairbacks are not allowed in Memorial Stadium. Some 20,000 chairback seats will be available for rental at $5 each.
> Backpacks are not allowed in Memorial Stadium.
> The Athletic Ticket Office and Huskers Authentic open 4 hours prior to kickoff.
> Memorial Stadium, like all university buildings, is a non-smoking area. Those who want to smoke must leave the stadium to do so. Tickets will be scanned for exiting and re-entry. Re-entry is available at each gate. Persons re-entering the stadium are subject to rescreening. No re-entry beginning at the start of the fourth quarter.
> The following items are prohibited in Memorial Stadium: Guns, knives, backpacks, glass, cans, coolers, beverage containers, video cameras, umbrellas and pets. People will be asked to return such items to their vehicles or home. Purses, fanny packs, and small camera bags are allowed but are subject to search. Plastic water bottles are permitted but may be inspected.
> Alcoholic beverages of any type are not allowed in the stadium. In addition, consumption of alcohol is prohibited in city and university parking lots and property.
> Throwing of any object in the stadium is prohibited. Any person throwing any object is subject to immediate removal from the stadium. Rules allow game officials to penalize the home team if objects are thrown onto the playing field.
> The Stadium Assistance Team, wearing orange jackets bearing the word “Security,” can help with any problems fans may encounter. If fans become separated from their friends, they should report to any First Aid station for assistance.
> Lost and found areas are located at the Guest Relations Desks in both the East and West Stadiums..
Parking and traffic policies and procedures:
> Most parking lots on the UNL City Campus are reserved for those who have paid reservations on game days. Most lots surrounding the stadium have been converted to reserved stalls, with patrons assigned to specific numbered stalls. Paid public parking on City Campus is available at $15 per stall at the Parking Garage at 17th and R streets.
> Parking for people with disabilities is available for $15 per vehicle on a first-come, first-served basis in Booster Lots 5 and 9 on the south side of Salt Creek Roadway between Stadium Drive and 14th Street northeast of Memorial Stadium. Lots 5 and 9 have free cart shuttle service to the stadium. This shuttle is radio equipped and will be stationed during the game at the northeast corner of the stadium and on the east side for those patrons needing to return to their vehicles. Contact the Athletics Ticket Office at 402-472-3111 for pre-purchase opportunities. Charter and shuttle bus parking is available on W Street between 14th and 16th streets.
> Parking lots will open at 6 a.m. for games with kickoff scheduled before 6 p.m.; for games that start at 6 p.m. or later, lots will open at 11 a.m.
> UNL Red/White shuttles, with parking at the 17th and R Parking Garage, will drop off patrons on the east side or at the northwest corner of Memorial Stadium. This is a convenionent ADA drop-off point for those patrons who cannot walk long distances. There is a $15 charge for parking in the 17th and R Parking Garage.
> Stadium Drive, the street on the west side of the stadium, will be closed on game days.
> Star Tran will offer the Big Red Express shuttle service to and from the stadium from sites around Lincoln. The cost is $5 each way or $10 round-trip. Season passes are available for $60. For additional information, go tohttps://startran.lincoln.ne.gov or telephone 402-476-1234.
> The taxi cab drop off/pick up location will be at the corner of 14th and Vine streets east of the stadium, and north of Memorial Stadium on Salt Creek Roadway. Other passenger drop-off and pick-up will not be allowed in front of the stadium before or after games. The recommended drop-off location is 12th and R streets.

A Utah man got a free night of lodging in North Platte after he was caught with a stolen vehicle.
At around 7:50 p.m. on Tuesday, North Platte Police responded to the Flying J Travel Center at 3400 South Newberry on the report of suspicious activity.
Officers learned that witnesses had seen two subjects unloading their belongings from a newer Jeep with Utah plates. The subjects then left the vehicle unattended.
When Officers arrived, the duo was standing on the east on-ramp of Interstate 80 attempting to hitch hike.
Officers ran a check of the vehicle’s license plate and learned it had been reported stolen from North Salt Lake, Utah.
Following an investigation, Officers determined that 23-year-old Denver Lindsey, of North Salt Lake, had been the driver of the vehicle. Police say the other subject, a transient, had been the passenger.
Officers found probable cause to arrest Lindsey for felony Possession of Stolen Property. He was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center.
The transient was not cited and was released from the scene. The Jeep remains at the North Platte Police Department impound lot.
Lincoln – Nebraska will make five appearances on the ESPN family of networks during the Big Ten season, as the Big Ten Conference announced its 2013-14 Big Ten schedule Wednesday afternoon.
Nebraska’s Big Ten slate is highlighted by the Big Ten home opener against NCAA runner-up Michigan on Thursday, Jan. 9, in a game which will be carried on either ESPN or ESPN2. Nebraska will also make four appearances on ESPNU during Big Ten action, taking on Penn State (Jan. 23 in State College; Feb. 20 in Lincoln) and Northwestern (Feb. 8 in Evanston; March 1 in Lincoln). In addition, Nebraska’s Feb. 23 game against Purdue is one of three games under consideration for a CBS national telecast that afternoon, but a final determination on that will not be made until early February.
College basketball fans at Pinnacle Bank Arena will be treated to six games against NCAA Tournament qualifiers, as the Huskers will take on Michigan, Ohio State, Minnesota, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin during the Big Ten slate in their first season in the $179 dollar building.
The Huskers will be tested early during Big Ten action, with three of the first four games coming on the road. Nebraska opens conference action on New Year’s Eve with a familiar opponent, as the Huskers will face Iowa in the only regular-season contest between the schools. Dating back to last season, it is the third time in Nebraska’s last six conference games the teams have faced off, as the teams played twice in the final five Big Ten games, including last year’s regular-season finale in Iowa City. Nebraska’s two-game road trip continues onSaturday, Jan. 4, as the Huskers will travel to Columbus, Ohio, to take on defending Big Ten Tournament champion Ohio State.
Nebraska then returns home for its Big Ten opener, as the Huskers will host the Wolverines in the first Big Ten men’s basketball game at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Jan. 9, before traveling to Purdue on Sunday. Jan. 12. The Huskers will close the month of January with three of their next four games at home, highlighted by a Martin Luther King Jr. Day matchup with Ohio State on Monday, Jan. 20 at 6 p.m., and a visit from defending Big Ten regular-season champion Indiana on Thursday, Jan. 30.
Nebraska will hit the road for the first half of February with three of its first four contests away from Lincoln, including a rematch with Michigan on Feb. 5 and road tilts with Northwestern (Feb. 8) and Michigan State (Feb. 16). The only home game in that stretch is a matchup with Illinois on Feb. 12, the fifth straight Big Ten home matchup against an NCAA tournament qualifier. Nebraska returns home for matchups with Penn State (Feb. 20) and Purdue (Feb. 23), as the Huskers will play four of their final six games at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Nebraska will close the regular season by taking on Wisconsin on Sunday, March 9.
Nebraska’s four single-play opponents for the 2013-14 season are Iowa (away), Michigan State (away), Minnesota (home) and Wisconsin (home).
Other television information for Big Ten games will be announced by the conference office and its television partners at a later date. Nebraska’s non-conference schedule was announced earlier in August, while start times and television information will be announced in September.
The Huskers, under second-year Coach Tim Miles, return three starters from a team that went 15-18 in his first season, including guard Ray Gallegos and forwards David Rivers and Shavon Shields. Gallegos, who averaged 12.5 ppg in 2012-13, led the Big Ten in 3-pointers per game and ranked second in school history with 83 3-pointers, while Shields averaged 8.6 points and 5.1 rebounds per game as a true freshman. Rivers started NU’s final 17 games at forward and averaged 5.6 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. In all, nine letterwinners return for the Huskers in 2013-14, while eight newcomers, including three redshirts, will suit up for the Scarlet and Cream this season.

(AP) — A Montana judge who sentenced a former teacher to 30 days for raping a 14-year-old girl is standing by his comments that the girl was older than her “chronological age” when it came to sexual matters.
But District Judge G. Todd Baugh says that doesn’t make 54-year-old Stacey Rambold’s actions any less of a crime. The girl killed herself in February 2010 while the case was pending.
In handing down the sentence Monday, Baugh said the girl was “older than her chronological age” and “as much in control of the situation” as the teacher.
Baugh said a 14-year-old girl can’t consent, but this situation was not a “forcible beat-up rape.”
He says the girl’s death also complicated the county attorney’s case.
