BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — A man who confessed that he’d killed his wife in an Omaha suburb will be tried on a charge of first-degree murder.

The judge ruled Monday that 38-year-old Brandon Norton, of Bellevue, will face the upgraded charge for the slaying of 32-year-old Jennifer Norton. Her body was recovered from the Missouri River on June 8.

Norton initially was charged with second-degree murder, but prosecutors say investigators found information that warranted the new charge.

He was arrested after walking into the Sarpy County Jail on June 5 to tell authorities that he had killed his wife the day before and dropped her body from a bridge into the river. He reported that he’d choked her to death after an argument.

The Scribner council voted 4-0 Monday to put a proposed ordinance on the November ballot. Last month the council gave the proposal an initial approval.

The push for such rules comes as the area prepares for an influx of workers for Costco’s new chicken processing plant in neighboring Fremont.

The Costco plant will employ 1,000 workers when it opens next year and could change the face of Scribner’s population, which is 96 percent white. Many officials interviewed for a state labor study have said the plant will likely require new residents to fill half the jobs.

Scribner’s ordinance mirrors a similar ordinance in Fremont, which went into effect four years ago.

CHI Health recently planted five raised garden beds with nonprofit City Sprouts at the Creighton University Medical Center campus, the Omaha World-Herald reported.

Officials intend the $326,000 project to provide produce to CHI Health patients. Nutritionists, physical therapists and behavioral health specialists can also use the garden to teach lessons on healthy eating and stress management.

The health system hopes to expand the garden to get neighbors involved, said Audrey Matthews, CHI Health’s healthier communities coordinator. CHI Health plans to hire a community health worker to identify families facing food insecurity, which refers to those who may not always know when or where they’ll get their next meal from, she said. The worker will make home visits, educate families about urban agriculture and help them plant gardens in their backyards.

Organizers will begin identifying families in South Omaha this fall, according to Matthews.

The health system is also working with local nonprofits, including City Sprouts and the Latino Center of the Midlands, to connect South Omaha residents to more fresh produce, Matthews said.

City Sprouts offers gardening classes in Spanish, said Roxanne Draper, the nonprofit’s executive director.

The Latino Center has a demonstration garden to show residents how to plant raised beds on their own.

Matthews said, “The more opportunities we can provide for the community to come to the property and be engaged, the better.”

The ticket was bought at the Good2go Travel Center. The ticket figures matched all five white ball numbers but not the Powerball number drawn Saturday night.

Winning Nebraska Lottery Lotto tickets expire 180 days after the drawing. Prizes of $20,000 or more must be claimed in person at lottery headquarters in Lincoln.

The exhibit featuring images from Union Pacific’s collection will debut in Omaha this fall before moving to museums in Utah and California next year.

When the exhibit is displayed at the Joslyn Art Museum from Oct. 6 through Jan. 6, all three commemorative railroad spikes that marked the completion of the transcontinental railroad will be displayed.

The exhibit will then travel to the Utah Museum of Fine Arts in Salt Lake City. It will be displayed there next year from Feb. 1 to May 26.

The final planned display will be at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, California next June 23 through Sept. 29.
