High court’s abortion ruling has no clear impact on Nebraska

supreme-courtLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska attorney general’s office says the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to strike down a Texas abortion law isn’t likely to affect any current Nebraska statutes.

A spokeswoman for Attorney General Doug Peterson said Monday that attorneys in that office have reviewed the opinion and concluded that the facts and legal questions from the case don’t apply in Nebraska.

A spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of the Heartland says attorneys with her group were still reviewing the decision, and it’s too early to know whether it will affect the state.

Nebraska lawmakers considered a bill similar to the Texas law last year, but the proposal stalled in committee. Gov. Pete Ricketts, who opposes abortion, issued a statement calling the ruling a setback.

NP man accused of pouring gas on ex’s home, vehicles; threatens to ‘burn the place down’

Wesley Stickelman
Wesley Stickelman

A 45-year-old North Platte man is facing multiple charges following a disturbance on Sunday morning.

At around 7:58 a.m., officers responded to an apartment in the 1200 block of East Fourth Street on the report of a disturbance.

Officers arrived and met with a 67-year-old female, who alleged that her ex-boyfriend, Wesley Stickelman, had just left the scene on foot.

The woman alleged that Stickelman, who doesn’t live at the residence, crawled through the window of the apartment and began to threaten her, then left.

A short time later, police say Stickelman returned, kicked in the door and told the victim he was going to “burn the place down.”

He then allegedly began pouring gasoline on the front of the apartment and down the steps.  Investigator John Deal says Stickelman also poured gasoline on the victim’s vehicles. He says gas cans were found at the scene and the area smelled heavily of gasoline.

Authorities began to search for Stickelman and they eventually found him near Fourth and Tabor Streets, where they say he had a bag and was attempting to hide items behind a tree.

Stickelman was taken into custody, and officers found several large knives and a small box with matches and cotton in it.

According to Deal, Stickelman was charged with attempted 1st-degree arson, felony terroristic threats, domestic assault and burglary.  Deal said Stickelman left several Tramadol pills at the scene and, as a result, he was also charged with possession of a controlled substance.

The North Platte Fire Department was called to the scene to dilute the gasoline.

No injuries were reported.

Construction employment expected to hit Nebraska record

construction-zoneLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A new economic forecast says construction employment is expected to be the fastest-growing sector of Nebraska’s economy through 2018.

The Bureau of Business Research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln said in a report released Monday that construction employment will reach a state record this year and continue growing through 2018. The bureau report says that 2018, more than 55,000 people will be working in construction in Nebraska. That’s an increase of 9.5 percent from its pre-Great Recession peak of 50,500 in 2007.

The boost is fueled in part by an infusion of tax dollars for roads.

Moderate growth is seen for Nebraska’s economy as a whole.

Agriculture and machinery manufacturing are expected to be the weak spots. Lower crop and livestock prices have placed pressure on the state’s machinery manufacturers.

Pepsi reintroducing aspartame in some beverages

diet-pepsiNEW YORK (AP) — PepsiCo is putting aspartame back in some of its diet beverages less than a year after pulling the artificial sweetener as part of a marketing move over safety concerns.

The sweetener had been linked to cancer in lab mice and industry executives blamed the decline in sales on unfounded concerns people have about aspartame. The removal of the sweetener tested the theory that the sweetener was to blame for fleeing customers. But, the move seems to have been a misstep, with consumers dissatisfied over the change in flavor without the sweetener.

Pepsi MAX will be re-introduced to U.S. consumers this fall as Pepsi Zero Sugar and will contain aspartame. Diet Pepsi Classic Sweetener Blend will contain aspartame in its formula. But Diet Pepsi will continue to be sweetened without aspartame.

Ansley man sentenced to 17 years for child pornography

dept.-of-justiceLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A central Nebraska man and previously-convicted sex offender has been sentenced to 17 years in federal prison for receiving child pornography.

U.S. Attorney Deborah Gilg says in a news release that 42-year-old Darrell Jenkins, of Ansley, was sentenced Friday in a federal court in Lincoln.

Jenkins was previously convicted in 2005 of third-degree sexual assault in Custer County. Last year, the Nebraska State Patrol was contacted by Alliance police after getting a tip that Jenkins had been sending sexual text messages to a 14-year-old. An undercover officer posing as a minor then contacted Jenkins. Prosecutors say Jenkins then communicated lewd messages to the officer, thinking the officer was an underage person.

Police say a subsequent search of Jenkins’ home turned up dozens of videos and pictures of child pornography.

Fireworks spark western Nebraska house fire; no injuries

fireworksSCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) — Firefighters in western Nebraska say a late-night house fire was caused by fireworks.

The fire in Scottsbluff occurred late Saturday — the first night a local ordinance allows people to shoot off fireworks for the July 4 holiday.

Scottsbluff Fire Capt. Dan Hubbs says no one was injured, as the residents were not home at the time of the fire.

Hubbs says fireworks were shot into some bushes around the home, and the fire climbed up the eaves and into the attic. He estimated that about 25 percent of the attic space was damaged by fire.

Neighbors reported the blaze.

New Nebraska reemployment program wins national accolade

workforceLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A new state reemployment program championed by Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts has won a national accolade.

The National Foundation of Unemployment Compensation and Workers Compensation honored the program at a recent gathering in Kansas City, Missouri. Ricketts was presented with the J. Eldred Hill Jr. Award for excellence in public policy.

Nebraska’s first-in-the-nation program requires jobseekers who receive unemployment benefits to enroll in a personalized “reemployment plan” through the state Department of Labor. Staff members work with the unemployed person to identify their goals and connect them with other services that could help them find a new job.

Jobseekers also have to post a resume on the state’s employment services system, which employers can search.

Ricketts showered with gifts during first year in office

common-cause-nebraskaLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Christmas comes early for Gov. Pete Ricketts, and it lasts through most of the year.

The governor reported more than 400 gifts last year from constituents, friends, business associates and lobbyists. The list of items he received includes a cape, red clown’s nose, a rugby shirt and Ronald Reagan candy jar.

Other gifts were more expensive, including five flight packages valued at more than $1,000 for trips to Washington and meetings of the Republican Governors Association.

Jack Gould of the group Common Cause Nebraska says such gifts serve no public purpose and should be restricted to trinkets valued at less than $5.
