MISSOURI VALLEY, Iowa (AP) — The DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge is offering visitors a chance to test their athletic skills against area wildlife.

The refuge will offer an animal Olympics program at 1 p.m. on Saturday where visitors can see if they can jump as high as a deer or balance like a great blue heron.

The program will teach about the abilities of native wildlife.

The refuge sits north of Omaha, Nebraska, along on U.S. Highway 30 near Missouri Valley, Iowa. An entrance permit is required to enter the refuge. For more information, call 712-388-4800.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln city officials have approved a plan for new housing in its historic Haymarket District.

The city selected the Lumberworks Lofts proposal to build three buildings on the west and north sides of its garage in the south Haymarket. Mayor Chris Beutler announced the approval Thursday.

The $11.1 million development on Canopy Street is expected to include 48 housing units, 8,000 square feet of office space and 15,000 square feet of retail space.

Buetler says the move comes as more and more residents are choosing to live downtown and in the neighboring Haymarket District.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Federal officials say an inmate has been recaptured after escaping from a minimum-security work camp in Yankton.

The U.S. Marshals Service says 33-year-old Johnny Tiner was re-arrested Saturday after he was found walking on a gravel road, and then hiding in a corn field in rural Hartington, Nebraska. Authorities say tips from the public helped locate Tiner.

He was unarmed, but was wearing prison clothing when he was found. He was also dehydrated and taken to a hospital for evaluation.

Tiner was seen jumping a fence earlier in the day. He’d been serving a 10-year sentence out of north Texas for being a felon in possession of a firearm. He now faces an escape charge.

Besides Texas, Tiner also has ties to Colorado and Tennessee.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 24-year-old man who abducted and stabbed his ex-girlfriend in Omaha has been sentenced to up to 150 years in prison.

Dylan Doebelin was sentenced Friday in Sarpy County District Court to 72 to 150 years in prison. Under state sentencing guidelines, he must serve 36 years before he’s eligible for parole. Doebelin had originally been charged with kidnapping, attempted murder and stalking. In a deal with prosecutors, he pleaded guilty in April to reduced charges of assault, attempted kidnapping, making terroristic threats and weapons counts.

Doebelin forced his ex-girlfriend last summer from her job at a daycare at knifepoint, and later beat and stabbed her as she tried to escape. Authorities say good Samaritans saved the woman by distracting Doebelin and whisking the injured woman away in another car.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say they have recovered the body of a teenager who went under while swimming in the Missouri River.

Rescuers were called to the scene north of Omaha’s N.P. Dodge Park around 7 p.m. Thursday after someone reported the teen missing in the water.

Omaha authorities say that on Saturday morning, a person in a cabin on the Iowa side of the river spotted a body floating in the water and called 911. Omaha authorities say that because the teen’s body was found on the Iowa side, Council Bluffs authorities have taken over the investigation.

Family members identified the victim as 17-year-old Adrian Boatman of Omaha. They say Boatman was with an aunt and four other children Thursday when he disappeared in the river just north of NP Dodge Park.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Health officials have confirmed a human case of the mosquito-borne West Nile virus in Lancaster County.

Officials say the sickened man likely contracted the virus somewhere else. Earlier this month, a human case of the virus was reported in Scotts Bluff County in western Nebraska.

Experts say most people who are infected have no symptoms or experience only mild, flu-like symptoms. The most vulnerable people are those who are at least 50 or have weakened immune systems.

The virus is transmitted to humans through mosquitoes, which acquire the virus by feeding on infected birds.

Nebraska reported 68 human cases of West Nile virus and two deaths last year. In 2014, eight deaths were blamed on West Nile virus.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — Iowa authorities say two Bellevue, Nebraska, men have been charged in warrants with attempted murder, robbery and assault in the robbery of a Council Bluffs convenience store where a shot was fired at the clerk.

20-year-old Kayvon Berry-Smith and 19-year-old Kyntral Watkins are being held in jail in Nebraska, awaiting extradition to Iowa.

Police say the men entered a Bucky’s Express in Council Bluffs around 12:30 a.m. July 1 and demanded money. Police say at least one of the men had a handgun. After the clerk handed over money from the register, police say, one of the men fired a shot toward the clerk. The clerk was not hit.

It is not known whether the men have attorneys for the Iowa charges.
