Officials at Midland University in Fremont say they plan to acquire the former Dana College campus in Blair in July.

Midland President Ben Sasse announced Thursday the private university planned to “have the keys in hand” by July 19, and then would launch a fundraising campaign.

Midland officials hope to raise $11 million in the next 18 months as they work to expand to the campus in Blair, about 20 miles from Fremont.

University officials say the move is needed because of steadily increasing enrollment.

Plans call for Midland students to be on the Blair campus beginning in 2015 or 2016.

(AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court has ordered an Omaha landlord known for his refusal to pay taxes and rants against federal and state laws to stop practicing law without a license.

The case was brought by the high court’s Commission on Unauthorized Practice of Law. The commission found that Paul Hansen was holding himself out as a lawyer and counsel, but not as an attorney. Regardless, the commission determined that Hansen was practicing law without a license and ordered him to stop. In response, Hansen said in a letter that his actions were taken “on land not ‘of’ the United States” and indicated he was not subject to U.S. laws.

On Friday, the Nebraska Supreme Court disagreed and issued an injunction telling Hansen not to hold himself out as a lawyer.

(AP) — A 24-year-old Nebraska woman is fighting a fundamentalist Christian college that’s insisting she repay $6,000 in federal loans and grants because she didn’t complete her final semester after she was expelled because of a lesbian relationship.

Grace University insists that Danielle Powell owes the money to cover federal grants and loans that, by law, must be repaid to the federal government. School officials declined to discuss specifics of the case, citing federal student privacy laws.

Powell says scholarships covered her tuition and that federal loans wouldn’t need to be repaid in that amount. She also notes she was kicked out despite undergoing months of counseling and spiritual training insisted upon by the school after she was suspended shortly before she was set to graduate in 2011.

(AP) — Bacteria linked to Legionnaires disease have been found in the water system at the Department of Veterans Affairs facility in Grand Island.

The VA is working with the city and environmental testing labs to find the source of the Legionella bacteria, the strain and the proper course of treatment.

Officials say no cases of Legionnaires’ disease, a form of pneumonia caused by some strains of Legionella, have been reported at the facility.

About half the Legionella strains do not cause disease.

A VA website says the Grand Island facility includes a community living center, a residential substance abuse unit and an outpatient clinic.

(AP) — Three women who work at an Omaha day care center face charges for allegedly leaving a 5-year-old at a Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant.

Omaha police say 36-year-old Marya N. Douth, 23-year-old Mary S. Deng, and 26-year-old Gesma M. Ajang, all of Omaha, were ticketed for child neglect. They are accused of leaving the boy alone at the entertainment center on June 5.

A Chuck E. Cheese’s employee told police that the child had been left alone for nearly half an hour by his day care providers from U.S. World Daycare Center.

A phone call to the Omaha day care on Thursday was not answered.

(AP) — Philadelphia officials have identified an inspector who fatally shot himself a week after a building collapse that killed six people as a dedicated 16-year veteran of the Department of Licenses and Inspections.

Deputy Mayor Everett Gillison says 52-year-old inspector Ronald Wagenhoffer was found dead in his truck Wednesday night with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

City officials say he was the Department of Licenses and Inspections employee who conducted a May 14 inspection of the building, weeks before the June 5 collapse.

Gillison says the department is in mourning and Wagenhoffer “did nothing wrong.” Wagenhofferleaves behind a wife and son.

The downtown building was being demolished when it collapsed onto a neighboring Salvation Army Thrift Store, killing two employees and four customers. Police allege a heavy equipment operator had been high on marijuana.

(AP) — A 59-year-old northeast Nebraska woman has been accused of misusing nearly $11,600 of her son’s Social Security disability payments.

Margaret Hunt, of Battle Creek, is charged with felony theft by deception and intentional abuse of a vulnerable adult.

The Office of the Inspector General for Social Security says Hunt was not living in Nebraska for several months while her disabled son, 30-year-old Leroy Tomes, was living alone in a trailer in Battle Creek. The office’s report says Tomes was in poor health, had little heat during the winter, and not much food or medicine.

A public phone listing for Hunt couldn’t be found. An attorney for Hunt, Brad Ewalt of Norfolk, declined to comment on Thursday.

(AP) — The Oklahoma medical examiner’s office has confirmed a 22nd fatality from the May 31 tornadoes and flash floods after a girl’s body was recovered from the Oklahoma River.

The office said Thursday the cause of the girl’s death has not been determined.

Oklahoma City Fire Department Deputy Chief Marc Woodard says the girl’s body was recovered Wednesday in Oklahoma City, about two miles from where she and her family sheltered from the tornado in a storm drain. Woodard says she hasn’t been formally identified.

He says another child is still unaccounted for after the May 31 flooding.

A total of 48 deaths have been blamed on storms that raked across central Oklahoma in May, including two people who died on May 19 and 24 who were killed on May 20.

(AP) — A new state audit has found problems with travel expenses and deficit spending within the Nebraska Supreme Court.

State Auditor Mike Foley released a report Thursday that said the court incurred expenses roughly $220,000 above the amount appropriated by state officials in fiscal 2012. Foley says the court covered those excess expenditures with funds from fiscal 2013, contrary to state law.

Auditors also identified more than $3,800 in improper travel expenses, mostly due to hotel expenses for court employees that the audit team considered unnecessary.

In a written response, court officials say they are reviewing their accounting procedures and making improvements to their travel policies.

(AP) — Officials in Columbus are moving ahead with an effort to ease the search for grave sites at a city-owned cemetery.

The city’s cemetery board on Wednesday unanimously supported buying a digital directory that stores burial plot information.

Board members had hoped officials overseeing two Catholic cemeteries would join in a cost-sharing plan, but that effort fell through.

The board recommends the city spend up to $30,000 to buy a digital directory and place it in a kiosk at Columbus Cemetery. If that effort is a success, the board could propose another one at Roselawn Cemetery.

The money would come from local sales tax revenue.

The Columbus City Council will need to approve the project before it moves forward.
