Omaha Plumbing Company Ordered to Repay Wages

dept.-of-justiceOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha plumbing company accused of falsifying payroll records has been placed on probation and ordered to repay more than $138,000 in wages.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Nebraska says Vincentini Plumbing paid employees less than the prevailing wage between June 2010 and July 2011 while the business performed work on two building projects for the public school district in Council Bluffs.

Vincentini Plumbing does business under V & V Construction. A message left for the construction company was not immediately returned Tuesday night.

A press release Tuesday says the company was given three years of probation on charges of violating federal law that requires participants on a qualifying federal contract to pay a prevailing wage. A federal court imposed a $25,000 fine and ordered more than $138,000 in restitution.

Nebraska Jail Director Gets Probation for Drunken Driving

Scotts-Bluff-County-SheriffGERING, Neb. (AP) — The Scotts Bluff County jail director has been fined and ordered to serve 12 months of probation for drunken driving.

61-year-old Ron Johns was sentenced on Monday. The fine and court costs totaled nearly $1,100. Johns had pleaded guilty in April to misdemeanor driving under the influence.

An arrest affidavit says Gering police were contacted on July 29, 2014, about an accident. An officer found Johns’ vehicle with extensive damage in the middle of a road at the crash scene.

The officer says in the arrest affidavit that he smelled alcohol coming from Johns and that Johns slurred his words as he talked to the officer. Johns was arrested after a preliminary breath test.

That’s Not Mistletoe…North Pole Won’t Block Pot Sales

marijuana-jointNORTH POLE, Alaska (AP) — North Pole residents can put marijuana on their Christmas list next year.

The city council in North Pole, Alaska, rejected a measure Monday that would have banned marijuana dispensaries. Marijuana became legal in Alaska in February, and sales begin next year.

Even Santa Claus — yes, that’s his real name — testified in favor of selling pot in this Christmas-themed town, where light poles resemble candy canes.

Claus said he is medical marijuana patient, and he’d like to buy pot in North Pole instead of making the short drive to Fairbanks.

Some worried how others might perceive North Pole if marijuana dispensaries are allowed. But one council member noted North Pole already allows the sale of alcohol, cigarettes and guns.

Chief: 2 Sidney Officers Who Killed Knife-Wielding Man Back On Duty

sidney-policeSIDNEY, Neb. (AP) — Sidney’s police chief says a Nebraska State Patrol investigation has essentially cleared two officers who fatally shot a man armed with a knife.

Sgt. Chad Borgmann and Officer Austin Smith have returned to duty after being put on paid leave following the April shooting of 44-year-old Dana Hlavinka. Chief B.J. Wilkinson said Monday that patrol investigators concluded that the officers followed policy.

A grand jury will be convened to examine the case, which is required after someone dies in police custody or while being arrested.

The officers had responded to a domestic dispute on April 19 at a Sidney residence, where a bleeding woman had been seen running away. The officers entered the home and were confronted by Hlavinka, who was holding a knife.

12 Nebraska Health Plans Propose Double-Digit Increase

health_careLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A dozen individual health insurance plans in Nebraska are proposing double-digit premium increases for next year, citing higher medical and prescription drug costs and greater use of services.

The proposed hikes would apply to plans sold on the health insurance exchanges created under the federal health care law, as well as individual coverage sold through brokers and agents.

UnitedHealthcare Life Insurance Company proposed one plan with a 10 percent increase, while Time Insurance Company is proposing a more than 32 percent increase for one of its plans.

The rate proposals were posted online by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Rate increases were only disclosed on the website if they were proposed to grow by 10 percent or more.

Omaha Mayor: City-Based Texts on Private Phones Won’t Be Public

Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Omaha mayor has issued an executive order that says city-related text messages on the personal cellphones of city employees won’t be considered a public record.

But the Nebraska attorney general’s office says otherwise, concluding in a legal opinion issued last month that government-related texts are public record even if they’re on a private cellphone.

It weighed in on the issue after the Omaha World-Herald asked the office to clarify the status and public’s access to officials’ texts involving government business. The newspaper’s executive editor says the mayor “openly defies” the attorney general’s legal opinion on the matter.

Mayor Jean Stothert’s order announced Monday discourages city staff from conducting business through texts and advises them to instead communicate through email.

Trial Set for Central City Man Charged with Attempted Murder

judgeshipCENTRAL CITY, Neb. (AP) — An October trial has been scheduled for a 48-year-old Central City man charged with attempted murder and other crimes.

Ricky Clauff pleaded not guilty on Monday in Merrick County District Court to five felony and seven misdemeanor counts. His trial is set to begin Oct. 13.

The charges stem from an April 1 incident in Clarks. Court documents say Clauff threatened to kill his niece’s boyfriend, chasing the man around town on foot and trying to run him over in a car.

Nebraska Foundation Buys $895K House for System President

university-of-nebraskaLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The University of Nebraska Foundation has bought an $895,000 house in Lincoln for the University of Nebraska president.

The university said in a news release Tuesday that the deal closed Monday on the house. It is owned by the foundation and, besides future occupation by President Hank Bounds and his family, will be used for events with students, university employees, donors and others.

A Lincoln house bought in December 2013 to become the official residence was later judged unsuitable and put on the market. University spokeswoman Melissa Lee says it remains unsold.

In 2012 the Board of Regents returned to the long-standing practice of using nonstate funds to provide an official residence. The university had done so for more than three decades until 1996, when a fire destroyed the home.

Derrick Johnson, Dontari Poe miss Chiefs offseason workout

 

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dontari Poe walked gingerly off the Chiefs’ practice field Tuesday with back pain, and linebacker Derrick Johnson sat out with inflammation in his knee.

The Chiefs were getting back to work with the second week of organized team activities when Poe walked off the field. A team spokesman did not say how long he might be out.

Johnson worked out last week. He missed nearly all of last season with a torn Achilles tendon.

Wide receiver Chris Conley was back on the field after missing time last week to attend the NFL’s rookie premier, while linebacker Justin Houston remained absent from the voluntary workouts after getting the franchise tag earlier this offseason.
