(AP) — A federal agency is proposing nearly $133,000 in fines for a Hastings cold storage plant, alleging more than a dozen safety violations.

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration says in a news release that workers were exposed to anhydrous ammonia at the Nebraska Cold Storage Inc. plant.

OSHA inspected the plant in March. The agency says some of the violations involve the failure to correct deficiencies in equipment and to document responses to violations found in a 2010 safety audit. The agency says 12 of 22 violations found three years ago remain uncorrected.

The plant manager didn’t immediately return a call Tuesday from The Associated Press.

The company can contest the citations and proposed penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

(AP) — A northeast Nebraska man has been sentenced to several years in prison for using a hidden camera to exploit young girls online.

Attorney General Jon Bruning said in a news release Monday that 36-year-old Eric Baker, of Ponca, was recently sentenced to five to seven years in prison for two counts of possession of child pornography. He also received four to six years for unlawful intrusion and one year for possession, distribution of obscene material.

Baker pleaded guilty to the charges in July in Dixon County District Court.

Prosecutors say Baker used a hidden camera smartphone application to take photos of minors who were undressing. He posted several photos to a pornographic website.

Baker is also accused of possessing child pornography on his computer’s hard drive.

(AP) — The University of Nebraska Medical Center has announced it will offer a dual master’s degree in pharmacy and public health beginning in the fall of 2014.

The university says the new dual degree offers the academic framework for pharmacy students to acquire public health knowledge and skills.

Gary Yee, professor and associate dean in the UNMC College of Pharmacy, says the optional dual track will increase the number of graduates trained to meet the unique pharmacy and public health care needs of rural and underserved people.

The dual program allows a student to complete both degrees with fewer credit hours than needed to complete the two degrees separately.

UNMC joins five other Big Ten offering the dual degree. They are Iowa, Maryland, Wisconsin, Ohio State and Rutgers.

(AP) — A 26-year-old man has died after a rollover accident northeast of Blue Hill in south-central Nebraska.

The Adams County Sheriff’s Office says the accident was reported a little before 8:30 p.m. Sunday. It occurred at a rural intersection around eight miles northeast of Blue Hill.

The two other people in the car were taken to Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital in Hastings.

The names of those involved have not been released.

(AP) — A U.S. district judge has announced his intention to take senior status, creating an opening on the federal bench in Omaha.

Judge Joseph Bataillon (buh-TAL’-yuhn) says he’ll maintain a full caseload after he takes senior status on Oct. 3 next year.

Chief District Judge Laurie Smith Camp says she’s grateful that Bataillon “has chosen to remain with the court in senior status, continuing to build on his impressive legacy.”

Bataillon has been one of Nebraska’s three regular district judges since October 1997, after being selected by President Bill Clinton and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Nebraska has three senior judges: Warren Urbom, Richard Kopf and Lyle Strom.

Bataillon’s replacement will be nominated by President Barack Obama, typically after conferring with Nebraska’s two U.S. senators, Mike Johanns and Deb Fischer.

(AP) — A Lincoln man has claimed his $1 million Powerball prize.

The Nebraska Lottery says Dustin Wood bought his ticket at a Russ’s Market on Washington Street in Lincoln. It matched five of the six numbers drawn for the Sept. 11 drawing — 11, 19, 33, 42 and 52. The ticket didn’t have the correct Powerball number of 33.

Wood claimed his prize Friday, saying he was shocked when he found out he’d won. He says he’ll save the money for the future.

Eight Nebraska Lottery players have won the $1 million prize in Powerball since the game was modified on January 2012.

(AP) — Authorities say the body of a 79-year-old woman has been found after the Colorado floods, bringing the death toll to eight.

The Larimer County Sheriff’s Department said Monday the woman was found on the bank of the Big Thompson River on Saturday.

It’s not clear why the death wasn’t announced until Monday.

The woman’s name was not released.

Authorities say the woman was one of three people considered missing and presumed dead. They initially said she was 80.

(AP) — A 4.9 magnitude earthquake jolted much of western Wyoming on Saturday, but no damage was reported.

John Bellini, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colo., says the temblor occurred at 7:16 a.m. about 45 miles underground. The nearest city is Fort Washakie, about 9 miles east of the epicenter.

Bellini says “it was felt widely in western Wyoming, but this is too deep of an earthquake to cause any damage. … A lot of people might have felt something but they wouldn’t know what they felt because it woke them up.”

The area west of Yellowstone National Park experiences a handful of earthquakes a year.

(AP) — Opponents of the Keystone XL pipeline are celebrating the completion of a barn built in the project’s expected path.

Organizers planned several events Sunday to thank volunteers and mark the completion of the solar- and wind-powered barn.

Billionaire investor and philanthropist Tom Steyer is scheduled to speak at the Sunday afternoon dedication ceremony. Steyer has spent more than $2 million fighting the pipeline that’s designed to carry Canadian crude oil to the Gulf Coast.

The barn has been constructed about 15 miles northwest of York.

The groups behind the barn project say pipeline firm TransCanada will have to either destroy the barn or tweak the pipeline route if it gets permission to build the project.

(AP) — Dozens of women and children learned ways to defend themselves in a class held to honor an Omaha woman who was shot to death in August.

Family, friends and strangers attended the self-defense benefit on Saturday. The two-hour class was held as a fundraiser for the family of Andrea Kruger, who was killed on her way home from work.

Authorities have charged 26-year-old Nikko Jenkins with her murder and his uncle, 51-year-old Warren Levering, as an accessory in her death.

Kruger’s sister-in-law, Lori Roberts, says the benefit was designed to empower women. The event raised a few thousand dollars for the Kruger Family.

Organizers from Life Time Fitness say demand was so great that they plan to start a weekly adult self-defense class.
