LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska officials say they’ll complain to Kansas about smoke from its agriculture burning that sometimes makes it unhealthy to breathe in some parts of Nebraska.

The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department issued a health warning Wednesday, warning people to stay indoors.

Gov. Pete Ricketts’ spokesman Taylor Gage says Nebraska officials will follow up with their counterparts in Kansas. On Wednesday he said the “air quality today is unacceptable.”

Lincoln Mayor Chris Beutler’s (BYTE’-lur’s) chief of staff, Rick Hoppe (HAH’-pee), says officials are reviewing all options, “including potential legal action.”

Officials have said the smoke originates mostly in Kansas’ Flint Hills area. A Kansas Department of Health and Environment spokesman says he can’t immediately say what Kansas’ response might be.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A woman who was struck in the head by a discus at a 2014 state track meet in Nebraska has been awarded $350,000 in a settlement.

83-year-old Bernice Gorecki filed a lawsuit in 2015 after being hit by a student-athlete’s discus while standing in the visitor area of the track meet at Burke High School in Omaha.

She and her husband sued the Omaha Public Schools and the Nebraska State Activities Association, alleging the entities failed in their duty to keep spectators safe.

District spokeswoman Monique Farmer says a spectator fence has now been pushed back farther.

Gorecki’s attorney, David Mullin, says he can’t comment on Gorecki’s injuries or her recovery.

BANCROFT, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have charged a father and son in the slaying of a northeast Nebraska man whose body was found in his burned home.

Court records say 27-year-old Derek Olson is charged with second-degree murder, arson and related crimes. His father, 48-year-old Jody Olson, is charged being an accessory to a felony. Both men remained in custody Thursday, pending $1 million bail. Derek Olson’s attorney declined to comment. His father’s didn’t immediately return a call from The Associated Press.

A court affidavit says the body of 64-year-old Ernest Warnock was found March 11 in the rubble of his home north of Bancroft. Investigators have determined that he’d been stabbed to death during an altercation before the fire began.

ELGIN, Iowa (AP) — The owner of a gun that a 4-year-old boy used to kill himself in Iowa last summer has been charged with illegally owning the firearm after telling police he uses marijuana.

Daniel Henriksen, 29, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to being an unlawful drug user in possession of a firearm. He wasn’t there when 4-year-old Jayden Choate shot himself in Henriksen’s trailer on June 17 in Elgin, a town in northern Iowa.

An affidavit signed by an Iowa agent says the boy and his younger brother and sister were trying to nap while their mother and another individual were sitting on the deck. The agent says Jayden found Henriksen’s handgun and unintentionally shot himself.

The affidavit says Henriksen, as a marijuana user, was ineligible to own the gun.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln man suspected of setting a veterinary clinic on fire Jan. 1 has pleaded not guilty.

43-year-old David Fenstemaker was arrested two days after the fire at the Pet Care Center in Lincoln on suspicion of second-degree arson and burglary.

Police say surveillance video captured a masked man inside the clinic the night of the fire.

Less than an hour later, firefighters put out a small fire that caused an estimated $20,000 in damage, mostly to the contents of an office and break room.

No staff members were there at the time, and no animals were injured.

A trial date in the case has not yet been set.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Two sisters injured in a Kansas waterslide accident that killed a state lawmaker’s 10-year-old son have reached a settlement with the water park’s owner.

Attorney Lynn Johnson on Wednesday confirmed the out-of-court deal with the Schlitterbahn park over the “Verruckt” slide accident last summer.

Johnson wouldn’t reveal details of the settlement. The sisters’ names haven’t been publicly released.

Authorities said Caleb Schwab was killed and the sisters injured last Aug. 7 while riding the Verruckt, which was billed as the world’s tallest waterslide. That ride has since been closed, and a Schlitterbahn spokeswoman says it will be demolished as soon as a court rules it’s no longer needed for evidentiary purposes.

Schwab’s family reached a settlement in January with Schlitterbahn and the raft’s manufacturer.

Caleb was Rep. Scott Schwab’s son.

PAPILLION, Neb. (AP) — A lack of drainage infrastructure is blocking progress and growth in one of the few places still available for development in Omaha’s metropolitan area.

The Legislature on Thursday will debate state Sen. Sue Crawford’s bill aimed at making it easier to pay for a sewer system that would be built in stages and eventually cost $220 million.

The bill would allow cities and villages to form a public agency with a county to manage an entire region’s sewer system.

There’s a push for legislation as Sarpy County prepares for the construction of a freeway, which would cross the southern portion of the county that currently lacks sewers.

The first phase of sewage work would begin in 2019 should the bill pass.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 46-year-old Lincoln woman has been charged with sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy.

Sunny Gibbons was arrested Thursday and charge with first-degree sexual assault of a child. If convicted, she faces 20 years to life in prison.

Police began investigating after the boy, who is now 16, told a school official that Gibbons performed sex acts with him last year on two different occasions.

Gibbons remained jailed Tuesday in lieu of $750,000 bail. Her public defender has asked the court for a bond reduction. That hearing is set for Wednesday.

Gibbons’ public defender did not immediately return a phone message Tuesday seeking comment.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Changes have been announced at Omaha’s Eppley Airfield as crews prepare to build a new six-story parking structure.

Eppley will close its surface and canopy lots on Thursday to prepare for the construction.

The new parking structure, which will hold 3,000 cars, was approved by the Omaha Airport Authority in December.

The $66.5 million project is scheduled to begin in May and take about two years to complete.

During that time, rental car operations at the airport will be relocated to the canopy lot south of the terminal, which will be closed to public parking.

MONROE, Neb. (AP) — A May sentencing has been scheduled for a Columbus man convicted in a Platte County crash death.

Gudiel-Hernandez also pleaded guilty in an unrelated drunken driving case after prosecutors amended the charges.

His sentencing is scheduled for May 22.
