MADISON, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska tourism group is seeking a bird’s-eye view to promote a local county fair.

The local visitors’ bureau has contracted with a drone company to fly over the Madison County Fair. The drones will shoot footage for the Norfolk Area Visitors Bureau, which will post the videos on its website.

Kim Kwapnioski, the bureau’s director, says drone footage marks the next step for a website that offers virtual tours, pictures and videos of the region.

Kwapnioski says the bureau wants to extend the drone technology to places like Cowboy Trail and AquaVenture water park so viewers get a complete sense of Norfolk’s attractions.

LINCOLN — A man drowned while swimming with his family at Branched Oak Lake Saturday, July 11.

Guerrero Perales, 67, of Crete, had been swimming at the Area 10 beach when a family member realized he had walked or swam toward the buoy line that separates the swimming area from the lake and not returned.

Perales’ family called 911 around 8:30 p.m. Saturday. Dive teams first searched for Perales, but were unsuccessful. Two teams of emergency responders in boats equipped with side scan sonar recovered his body at approximately 12:30 a.m. Sunday morning.

Emergency responders included personnel from the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Department, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, Raymond Fire and Rescue, Ceresco Fire and Rescue, Lincoln Fire and Rescue and the Nebraska State Patrol.

DENVER (AP) — Environmentalists and the energy industry have fought decisive battles over fracking in New York, Oklahoma and Texas, but the outcome is still unclear in Colorado.

A ballot fight could be shaping up for Colorado’s 2016 election.

A task force convened by Gov. John Hickenlooper tried to find a compromise in the debate over how much the industry should be regulated, but it didn’t go far enough for fracking critics.

Karen Dike of Coloradans Against Fracking says the panel did little to address fracking’s potential health and environmental effects.

She won’t say if the group plans to put measures on the 2016 ballot, but she doesn’t rule it out.

Frank McNulty, a Republican former state lawmaker who sponsored a pro-industry ballot measure in 2014, expects opponents to turn to the voters.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police say two northeast Nebraska girls who were the subject of an Amber Alert were found safe in Omaha, and the aunt suspected of taking them was arrested.

The alert was issued Friday afternoon for the two Hartington sisters, 11 months old and 9 years old.

Within two hours, a tip from the public led officials to an Omaha hotel, where they found the girls.

The girls’ 33-year-old aunt, Leah LaCroix of Aripeka, Florida, was arrested without incident. LaCroix is charged in an arrest warrant with two counts of kidnapping.

Before her arrest, authorities had said they believed LaCroix was armed and that the girls were in danger.

LaCroix remained jailed Saturday and could not be reached for comment. There is no attorney listed for her in online court records.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Police say a sport utility vehicle that crashed into a south Lincoln business caused about $20,000 in damage to the building.

Police say the crash happened around 1:40 a.m. Friday, when a Jeep ran into Cardinal Management in the Pine Ridge office complex.

The accident was only discovered after a Lancaster County Sheriff’s deputy driving by saw the Jeep lodged in the building’s wall.

Police say alcohol was found in the Jeep. A 28-year-old man believed to be the Jeep’s driver was found walking nearby with cuts on his face and blood on his shirt. He was treated at a local hospital and ticketed by police.

HUBBARD, Neb. (AP) — A newly opened lake in northeast Nebraska is drawing anglers and recreationalists from the area, including across the Missouri River in Iowa.

The gates on the Danish Alps State Recreation Area near Hubbard opened Wednesday.

Located just south of Nebraska Highway 35, the park is named for the local hilly terrain that is reminiscent of the Danish homeland of the immigrants who settled in the area. The 746-acre park includes RV and tent camping, equestrian camping facilities, day use areas, a walking and hiking trail and equestrian trail.

The centerpiece is 226-acre Kramper Lake, named after Vince Kramper, a Dakota City farmer and conservationist. The lake has been stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, black crappie, walleye and channel catfish.
