OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Omaha Fire Department has resumed its odd-even schedule for transporting critically ill or injured people to Omaha’s two Level 1 hospital trauma centers.

The department said in a news release that the schedule resumed at noon Monday for Nebraska Medical Center and Creighton University Medical Center. Creighton had been out of the rotation since January, when the state didn’t certify the hospital’s emergency room for patients requiring Level 1 care. Trauma centers treat people who require immediate and intensive attention, and Level 1 patients may need resuscitation or establishment of an airway.

Creighton learned Friday that it had been given the certification.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska judge has ruled that property owners are entitled to more information about the process that the Douglas County assessor uses to determine property valuations.

District Court Judge Peter Bataillon ruled earlier this month that the new County Assessor Diane Battiato must provide the documents that explain show valuations were determined.

Several people went to court alleging that the Assessor’s Office is ignoring the Nebraska Open Records Act and State Department of Revenue administrative rules on assessment hearings.

Battiato has been holding hearings this month with people who are disputing their property valuations, which determine a property tax bill. Despite the meetings, some taxpayers don’t believe they are getting enough information.

Battiatio says that her office is working on being as transparent as possible.

PAPILLION, Neb. (AP) — A former Iowa state Senate candidate accused of sexual assault and other misdemeanors in eastern Nebraska has made a deal with prosecutors.

Online court records say a sentencing hearing is scheduled April 3 in Papillion (puh-PIHL’-yuhn) for 69-year-old Donald Brantz. He was convicted in Sarpy County Court after pleading no contest to disturbing the peace. Prosecutors dropped misdemeanor charges of sexual assault, assault and interfering with a public service company in exchange for Brantz’s plea.

Prosecutors say Brantz, of Glenwood, was accused of inappropriately touching a woman on Oct. 10 and threatening to choke her.

Brantz ran unsuccessfully as a Libertarian candidate for the Iowa Senate seat vacated by U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst. Republican Mark Costello, of Imogene, won the late December special election.

HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) — A Hastings man has won a hearing on his request to withdraw his pleas to charges stemming from the dragging of a police officer.

The hearing has been scheduled March 24 for 30-year-old Marty Deckert. He’d accepted a plea deal on charges of attempted second-degree murder and other crimes. Other charges were dismissed. Authorities say Deckert tried to avoid arrest in July by speeding away in a car while dragging a police officer.

At his sentencing hearing on Friday, Deckert told a judge that he wanted a new attorney and said, “I may be guilty of some things that happened that day, but not enough to go to prison.” The judge denied Deckert’s request for a new court-appointed attorney but set the hearing on Deckert’s request to withdraw his pleas.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A new exhibition at the International Quilt Study Center and Museum in Lincoln will explore the role quilts had throughout U.S. history during wartime.

The exhibition features 10 quilts spanning 150 years of history. The exhibition also will feature two recent acquisitions at the quilt center. The first is an 1898 album quilt from the Spanish-American War. The second quilt was made circa 1918, the time of World War I.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Another person has been arrested in the slaying of a 46-year-old man who died two days after being found shot at a north-central Omaha park.

Arias has pleaded not guilty to a murder charge. She and Hollins remained in custody on Monday. Online court records don’t list an attorney for Hollins in the case.

BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — Bellevue police are investigating an incident where officers shot and wounded a man before arresting him.

Bellevue Police Officer Laurie Synowiecki says the 33-year-old suspect was intoxicated and armed with a rifle when officers arrived.

During the incident, the suspect raised his rifle toward the officers, and they fired on him.

A woman and two young children were also in the home, but they were hiding during the confrontation and weren’t hurt.

YORK, Neb. (AP) — Police in York say an 18-year-old high school senior is in jail on charges of making terroristic threats related to a bomb threat made against York High School last Monday.

The student was arrested Saturday morning at home.

The bomb threat was posted on the social media application Yik Yak. The threat prompted the school to ask for increased security which included officers from York police and the Nebraska State Patrol to be at the school. Students’ bags were searched as they entered school.

Police spokesman Michael Hanke says mobile electronic devices were seized from the student’s home using a search warrant police had obtained. Forensic investigators with the Nebraska State Patrol are checking the devices for evidence.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The longtime director of the marching band at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has died.

A university spokesman says Jack Snider died Friday afternoon of natural causes in Lincoln. He was 93.

UNL music school director John Richmond says Snider was an iconic figure in music at the university.

Snider led the band from the 1950s until 1975. He taught horn and brass instruments at the school for 36 years before retiring in 1986. He continued to support UNL music long after he retired.

Snider, a native of McCook, Nebraska, founded the Nebraska State Bandmasters Association, which gives out an award each year in his name. Snider also started the Lincoln Community Concert Band in 1981.

Funeral service details were not immediately available.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha has been approved again as a state-certified trauma center.

The hospital lost the designation as an adult comprehensive level trauma center in January after a review team found the trauma center failed to meet four of 160 standards.

The hospital reapplied for the designation and a review team visited the hospital on Feb. 11. The hospital was notified on Friday of its approval by Dr. Joseph Acierno, the state’s chief medical officer.

Approval means emergency response personnel may resume taking trauma patients to Creighton.

Since January the Omaha Fire Department has taken all trauma patients to the Nebraska Medical Center.

Trauma centers treat the most severely injured patients. The Omaha Fire Department transports about 120 such patients per month.
