OSMOND, Neb. (AP) — Investigators for the Nebraska State Fire Marshal have been unable to determine what caused a fire that destroyed a building in downtown Osmond.

Nobody was in Tiger Town Food & Floral Center when flames erupted July 9 in the three-story brick structure.

Investigators say the blaze was accidental, but the cause is unknown.

The fire left the northeast Nebraska community without a grocery store for its 770 or so residents.

Police say officers were dispatched to the scene around 4:30 a.m. Monday to check a report about a man lying on the ground. He was soon pronounced dead.

FREMONT, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have released the name of an Omaha man whose body was recovered from a lake near Fremont in eastern Nebraska.

The Dodge County Sheriff’s Office identified the man Monday as 45-year-old Eugenijus Balsys.

His body was recovered around 9:20 p.m. Sunday from Lake Victory. Sheriff Steve Hespen says he fell off a personal watercraft earlier Sunday while moving it from a campsite to a docking location.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln officials are wondering whether to restrict public access to police radio dispatches.

Public safety officials are seeking input internally, from media outlets and others over access to the police department’s primary channels.

Dispatchers on police radio channels relay information to officers on everything from minor crashes to shootings. News outlets often depend on those channels to track crimes and accidents in the city.

Public Safety Director Tom Casady says the city’s switch to a new digital radio system by early 2018 gives the police department the option to encrypt its radio channels. He says the potential for encryption has officials weighing privacy, officer safety and criminal apprehension concerns while considering the merits of police transparency.

WEEPING WATER, Neb. (AP) — Authorities are investigating the death of a woman whose body was found in a wooded area near Weeping Water in eastern Nebraska.

NELIGH, Neb. (AP) — Some residents in a northeast Nebraska area want to move an aging school building to town so it can be used to tell the story of a time that’s gone but not totally forgotten.

Former students of Clearwater have mounted a campaign to raise the money needed to turn the century-old building into a museum in downtown Neligh (NEE’-lee).

Preliminary estimates are around $120,000 to move the building and make it functional. It will be located in Neligh’s museum complex next to the pioneer church along Highway 275, and close to the Pierson Wildlife Museum Learning Center.

The residents have been approved for a grant to help restore the facade and replace the roof, which has to be done by late summer next year.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska authorities have arrested two men accused of fleeing from an attempted traffic stop and firing several shots at sheriff’s deputies.

The Nebraska State Patrol says 38-year-old Douglas Burke of Clarks and 25-year-old Derek Hobbs of Omaha were apprehended over the weekend after a chase in Polk County.

Authorities say they drove away when a Polk County sheriff’s deputy tried to stop them Saturday night because their license plates did not match their vehicle. They say the vehicle’s passenger fired several rounds at deputies and struck a patrol car.

Authorities say the vehicle went into a ditch, and two people fled on food. Burke, the driver, surrendered to authorities shortly thereafter, and Hobbs was found in a cornfield early Sunday morning.

Authorities say they’re determining which charges to file.

WEST POINT, Neb. (AP) — Health officials say the number of people stricken in a northeastern Nebraska salmonella outbreak has risen to 22.

The Elkhorn Logan Valley Public Health Department says there have been 22 confirmed cases and six probable cases. The confirmed cases are up from 20 on Thursday.

The source of the outbreak hasn’t been confirmed, but the department says investigators have found that all of the people stricken ate at Red Door Coffee in West Point. The department says the Red Door’s owners and staffers are cooperating with investigators.

Medical experts say salmonella is caused by bacteria that live in the intestinal tracts of humans and animals. It usually is spread by eating contaminated food. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea and stomach cramps.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Community and business leaders are looking at Lincoln’s long-range transportation plan to find new ideas to address street needs.

The Citizens’ Transportation Coalition announced Thursday that the group of 25 leaders will make recommendations in January to Mayor Chris Beutler on Lincoln’s future transportation system and how it should be funded.

The coalition will look at the current and future street system. It’ll focus on five specific issues: preservation and expansion, maintenance, quality of life, investment costs and funding methods.

Burns & McDonnell consultant Danny Rotert says the coalition will have to balance maintenance needs in older parts of town with the need for growth on the edges of town.

The monthly coalition meetings and information available to coalition members will be open to the public.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court says a lower court erred in the way it admitted evidence in the first-degree murder trial of a man who bludgeoned a woman to death, but says the error was harmless.

The Friday ruling upheld the 2015 conviction of 45-year-old Anthony Burries, who is serving life in prison for the 2014 death of 38-year-old Tina Hoult.

In his appeal, Burries argued — among other things — that the trial judge wrongly admitted into evidence a threatening letter he sent to a woman set to testify for the prosecution in his trial.

The state’s high court agreed that the letter could be allowed as evidence, but said the judge failed to instruct the jury to consider only whether it showed Burries’ consciousness of guilt.
