LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Two different mentoring programs will be offered again this fall to help young Nebraska hunters learn more about the sport.

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says both programs will pair recent graduates of hunter education courses with mentors who can teach them more.

Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever offers one program for hunters ages 12 to 15, so they can learn shooting and hunting techniques.

The second program for hunters ages 12 to 17 focuses on bow hunting with programs near Omaha, Lincoln, Ashland, Plattsmouth and Grand Island.

LOUP CITY, Neb. (AP) — A former Loup City teacher accused of placing spy cameras in a girls locker room has made a plea deal on three counts and awaits a judge’s decision on a fourth.

On Thursday 25-year-old Anthony Rahe pleaded no contest to felony unlawful intrusion, misdemeanor unlawful intrusion and felony possession of a visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct. A brief, nonjury trial was held on a fourth charge: felony manufacture of visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct. The judge’s decision won’t come until after closing arguments or briefs are submitted.

Prosecutors dismissed or amended the original 15 counts against Rahe in return for his pleas.

District officials say a student reported finding the camera at Loup City Public School on Oct. 8. Investigators have said school security camera footage implicated Rahe.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Economists from the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City say more borrowers raising livestock and row crops in Nebraska and surrounding states are struggling to repay loans as commodity prices stay low.

Bankers surveyed for the regional Fed’s latest report on agricultural credit conditions indicated continued problems in the second quarter.

More lenders reported a growth in the volume of borrowers with repayment problems as well as a higher number of denied loan applications compared to last year.

Nebraska bankers say they haven’t denied more loans to borrowers, but that financial situations are definitely getting tighter.

Todd Adams, chief executive of Adams Bank & Trust in Ogallala, says it’s concerning that borrowers haven’t been profitable for two years in a row.

DETROIT (AP) — Toyota Motor Corp. is recalling 337,000 vehicles for a third time.

The recall involves the Toyota RAV4 SUV from the 2006-2011 model years and the Lexus HS250h sedan from the 2010 model year.

Toyota first recalled the vehicles in 2012 because of a wobbly rear suspension. The company recalled them again in 2013 because the nuts it used to adjust the rear wheel alignment weren’t tightened properly.

This time, Toyota found that rust can form on the suspension arm threads if the nuts for the rear wheel alignment weren’t tightened correctly. If that happens, the suspension arm could separate from the vehicle and cause the driver to lose control.

Toyota will contact owners and replace both rear suspension arm assemblies for free.

FRANKLIN, Neb. (AP) — Firefighters and members of a volunteer rope team have helped rescue a worker from a water tower in south-central Nebraska.

Franklin firefighters were notified around 9:20 a.m. Thursday that a man had climbed up the 85-foot-tall tower to perform some maintenance but felt too exhausted to climb back down.

The South Central Rope Team deployed two volunteers using ropes and harnesses to lower the unidentified man to safety on the ground. Medics examined him at the scene five miles south of Franklin, and he was not taken to a hospital.
