ASHLAND, Neb. (AP) — A staff member at a Nebraska summer camp has the mumps.

Officials at the Carol Joy Holling Camp in Ashland say Friday that the virus was identified quickly when the staff member noticed symptoms. He has seen a doctor and was quarantined at home. Officials say he was vaccinated but incubated the illness at a nearby university. They didn’t say which university.

The camp is not yet in session, but typically serves 1,600 campers and 20,000 other guests yearly. It is run by the Nebraska Lutheran Outdoor Ministries.

Nebraska health officials announced earlier this week that the number of mumps cases related to an outbreak at Midland University in Fremont increased from 10 to 21.

The viral infection’s symptoms include swollen salivary glands, fever, jaw pain and muscle aches.

DAVID CITY, Neb. (AP) — A 51-year-old Omaha man has been given probation for causing a collision that fatally injured two brothers from Rising City.

Christopher Pokorny was sentenced last week in Butler County to two years of probation, 400 hours of community service and was told to pay two $500 fines. He’d pleaded guilty to two counts of misdemeanor vehicular homicide.

Authorities say Pokorny was driving east on Nebraska Highway 92 on May 2 last year when his pickup ran into the back of an eastbound minivan that was slowing to turn left. Authorities say two van passengers, 8-year-old Caleb Prellwitz and his 18-year-old brother, Joshua, were injured and died later at a Lincoln hospital.

BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) — A 53-year-old man is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 3 in Gage County for stealing cattle.

Cork Tyan has taken a deal in which he pleaded guilty to theft and attempted theft. Prosecutors lowered one of the theft charges in exchange for Tyan’s pleas Wednesday.

Authorities say Tyan went to a Gage County sale barn and tried to sell some calves that later proved to have been stolen from a rancher in Hayes County. Authorities also say Tyan admitted stealing barbed wire from a Beatrice store.

Tyan has been living in Lincoln.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Douglas County prosecutors have decided not to charge a woman with vehicular homicide in the death of a 90-year-old struck by her pickup as he mowed his lawn.

A news release said Friday that Donald Fitzwater was making U-turns on 261st Street while driving his riding mower back and forth May 19 and was struck by 54-year-old Brenda Nelson’s truck. Her blood later tested out nearly twice the legal limit.

Prosecutors say Nelson won’t face a homicide charge because evidence suggests the accident still would have happened even if Nelson were not intoxicated. The mower’s presence on the road was a contributing factor.

The prosecutors say Nelson will be charged with driving under the influence. Court records don’t list the name of her attorney.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Two cars have been damaged in the partial collapse of a parking structure in Omaha.

The cars were parked on the top level when the pavement gave way beneath them around 10:15 p.m. Thursday. One car fell completely out of sight into the parking level below, but the man in the driver’s seat escaped without injury. The other car was unoccupied and was only partially swallowed.

Officials decided to wait until daylight to determine how the accident happened and to remove the damaged vehicles.

BLAIR, Neb. (AP) — Construction workers are making weather damage and other repairs at the former campus of Dana College in Blair, but who or what might benefit remains uncertain.

The campus has been closed since 2010 because an accreditation body refused to approve its sale to for-profit investors.

Omaha developer Frank Krejci bought the property three years ago for the expansion of Fremont’s Midland University, but the university dropped those plans in March.

Krejci said he’s willing to donate the property for the right use, saying, “I can be very generous.”

Blair officials soon will send literature on the property to colleges across the country.

Mayor Jim Realph wants the campus to remain “an educational area, but I’m kind of resigned to the fact that may not happen.”

DEWITT, Neb. (AP) — Volunteers have helped DeWitt homeowners build up flood protection and bolster the foundations of their homes.

During the Dirt Day event earlier this week, truckloads of dirt were spread around the foundations of 19 homes in the southeast Nebraska community of around 500 people. The homes had lost soil from around their foundations in May 2015, when Turkey Creek and the Big Blue River overflowed their banks. Many house basements in town filled with up to a foot of water.

The DeWitt Area Recovery Team organized volunteers from the Southeast Community College Ag Club to spread dirt provided by an anonymous donor. The dirt was packed down and sloped away from the foundations so rainwater runs off and doesn’t seep down and collect next to foundations, which can leak.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The new property tax valuation notices sent to about 100,000 Douglas County homeowners reflect the increases and reductions ordered by the state.

The Nebraska Tax Equalization and Review Commission had said valuations were too low for more than 75,000 homes in central and west Omaha. The commission ordered Douglas County assessor/register of deeds Diane Battiato to raise the valuations by 7 percent. The commission also said valuations were too high on about 25,000 properties in northeast Omaha and ordered Battiato to lower them by 8 percent.

The county plans to appeal the commission’s order to the Nebraska Supreme Court.

Battiato said her office mailed the valuations out Tuesday to meet the June 1 deadline.

YORK, Neb. (AP) — A man accused of lying to Nebraska unemployment officials has been convicted of theft.

50-year-old Timothy Ballard is scheduled to be sentenced July 25. He pleaded no contest Tuesday after prosecutors lowered the theft charge.

The Nebraska Labor Department says in court records that Ballard filed weekly claims for unemployment benefits for 60 weeks, between Feb. 7, 2012, and Feb. 7, 2015. The department says Ballard reported no earnings for those 60 weeks but actually was working and being paid during 32 of them.

The state says Ballard received nearly $7,900 in benefits for which he was ineligible.

Ballard lives in York.

ST. PAUL, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say several people have been injured in a crash in Howard County.

A vehicle traveling southbound crossed the center line on Highway 281 near mile marker 90, and sideswiped a northbound vehicle just before 1 p.m. Wednesday. The Howard County Sheriff’s Department says the southbound vehicle then struck a pickup head-on.

Authorities say that one person was treated at a hospital and released, while three other people remained in the hospital as of Wednesday night. Their conditions were not immediately clear.
