LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Neglected areas around the Nebraska Capitol have caught the eye of a Lincoln planning expert who wants to see improvements.

Cecil Steward, a member of the Nebraska Capitol Environs Commission, wants a cohesive vision for areas to the south and east of the Capitol.

Steward, a former Lincoln planning commissioner, says the areas have a diverse mix of buildings in varying condition. Some areas have historic and some have deteriorated.

Centennial Mall on the Capitol’s north side is seeing major renovations in time for Nebraska’s 150th anniversary in 2017. Steward says other parts of the district have not yet reached their potential.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska lottery officials have announced the identity of a man who bought a Powerball ticket last month and won $1 million.

The Nebraska Lottery said in a Monday news release that Jerry Wells, of Lincoln, claimed his prize on Nov. 26.

Wells purchased his winning ticket at Roc’s Stop & Shop in Lincoln. His two-play ticket contained a play with all five winning white ball numbers from the Nov. 20 drawing.

Wells says he selects his Powerball numbers based on a combination of birthdays, ages and jersey numbers of his favorite athletes. He says he plans to use the money to pay bills and invest.

Officials say 10 Nebraska Lottery players have won the $1 million prize in Powerball since the game was changed in January 2012.

TABLE ROCK, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a southeast Nebraska man died following a single-vehicle crash over the weekend that injured his teenage son.

Pawnee County Sheriff Jayme Reed says 46-year-old Lavon Sharpe, of Table Rock, was a passenger Saturday night in a pickup driven by 15-year-old Brandon Sharpe.

Authorities say the pickup was headed west on a county road near Table Rock when it lost control and rolled over.

Reed says both father and son were not wearing seat belts and were thrown from the pickup. Lavon Sharpe was declared dead at the scene.

Brandon Sharpe was taken to a Lincoln hospital with multiple injuries. His condition is not available.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln police say a 22-year-old suspect in a gang-related shooting is dead.

Police say Musito Hector Antonio Lopez died Sunday of an apparent gunshot wound to the head. Lopez is suspected of shooting 20-year-old Erick P. Musito early Sunday after an argument.

Authorities say the men were rival gang members. They had befriended two sisters who lived together in an apartment where Musito was shot, about two blocks from the Nebraska Capitol.

Lincoln Police Chief Jim Peschong says Lopez was found dead in his mother’s mobile home about 6 p.m. Sunday after a SWAT team surrounded her home.

Peschong says Lopez fired several shots from the home. Authorities pumped gas into the trailer, but couldn’t force him out. They got a camera into the home and saw Lopez dead.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Television viewers in Bismarck, N.D., were treated to some real class this weekend when none other than the great Ron Burgundy read them the news.

Actor and comedian Will Ferrell reprised his “Anchorman” role for KXMB’s Saturday night news broadcast. The former “Saturday Night Live” star is promoting its upcoming sequel, “Anchorman 2.”

Ferrell read stories while engaging in some witty banter with the news team. He also clowned around, popping into anchor Amber Schatz’s screen while she read a story and noting after the sports segment, “I’ve never seen fighting in a hockey match before. That was fascinating.”

The team expected Ferrell to end with his “Stay classy” catchphrase, but he missed the cue, saying: “What? Am I supposed to read that?”
