COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — The Columbus Public Library has a new look for its books.

More than $47,000 in renovations and repairs have been completed.

Library director Jill Owens says the work was important, because “people associate worn-out decor with out-of-date resources and services.”

New e-readers have been added, as well as new furniture, solar shades, carpet and shelves. There’s new paint, too. The work also included relocating counter space, reorganizing sections, installing new front windows and replacing a section of the roof to prevent future leaks.

Owns says nearly $34,000 of the cost was pledged by the Columbus Public Library Foundation and Friends of the Library. The remaining amount was covered by the city.

WAVERLY, Neb. (AP) — Five people were injured in a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 80 near Lincoln, but all were expected to survive.

The crash happened about noon Monday near Waverly, northeast of Lincoln, when a sport utility vehicle’s tire blew. That caused the vehicle to roll and land upside-down, about 100 feet from the freeway.

The Nebraska State Patrol says the 23-year-old driver, Cameron McCurn, had to be freed from the SUV. He was flown by helicopter to a Lincoln hospital.

State patrol spokeswoman Deb Collins says 23-year-old Lakresha Patterson and children aged 2, 1 and 3 months were taken by ambulance to a hospital.

None of the injuries were believed to be life-threatening.

The freeway’s westbound lanes were closed so the helicopter could land.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nearly 400 teachers new to the district will be leading classes for Lincoln Public Schools this year.

That’s on top of the more than 300 teachers who were first-time district hires last year.

Associate Superintendent Eric Weber says the big class of teachers this year is needed because, in addition to the normal number of resignations, more teachers than normal retired at the end of the 2013-14 school year. Plus, an enrollment jump of around 1,000 students is expected as classes begin Tuesday. Enrollment jumped by more than 930 students last year.

The school board approved adding 50 full-time teaching positions this school year in order to meet the growth in student enrollment.

DECATUR, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska town with no swimming pool turned to local firefighters to help children beat the summer heat.

Decatur Fire and Rescue created a makeshift water park. Firefighters used hoses, dump tanks, water curtains and other equipment to create swimming pools and water slides for the town’s children.

Organizers say they thought of the idea last week and opened the water park in front of the fire department two days later. They hope to host another event next year with more planning and additional water activities.

DENVER (AP) — A 19-year-old suburban Denver woman accused of trying to help a foreign terrorist organization plans to plead guilty in the case.

Federal documents filed Friday say an agreement has been reached in the case against Shannon Conley of Arvada. She was arrested at Denver International Airport in April while boarding a flight she hoped would ultimately get her to Syria.

Details of the agreement weren’t part of the court filing, but Conley’s public defender, Robert Pepin, asked to schedule a change of plea hearing. FBI agents say Conley was intent on waging jihad in the Middle East, despite their overt efforts to stop her.

Authorities say she wanted to live with a suitor she met online, who claimed to be fighting for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities are searching for a man who reportedly jumped into the Missouri River on the north side of Omaha and disappeared.

The search began after people told authorities that the man jumped into the river around 9:30 p.m. Sunday at the south boat ramp at N.P. Dodge Park.

The search continued Monday morning along the river south of the park.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Officials are looking to expand a Lincoln facility that serves Native Americans.

Lincoln Indian Center officials want to build a new $12 million, 46,000-square foot facility and renovate their current headquarters. If it moves forward, the new building would be built west of the current center.

The new center would include a gymnasium, cultural center and administrative offices.

Indian Center executive director Clyde Tyndall says employees have outgrown the current facility, built in 1980. The old building would be used for nonprofits that may want to lease space.

Tyndall says officials will apply for a $3 million federal tax credit to help pay with the project. They also hope they hope to secure a $3 million bank loan and $6 million in grants.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Authorities say two people aboard a small plane that was reported missing have been found dead at the crash site in northern Colorado.

Routt County Undersheriff Ray Birch says rescue workers found the wreckage early Sunday near Steamboat Springs. The names of the two people on the plane have been not immediately released.

The plane was headed to Boulder from Steamboat Springs on Saturday. A search for the aircraft began when it was reported overdue. Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Allen Kenitzer tells The Denver Post that the plane was a Piper PA-28.

Routt County Search and Rescue incident commander Jim Linville says at least two other planes have crashed in the same area in the past 10 years.

DENVER (AP) — Someone in Colorado is holding the winning Powerball ticket for a $90 million prize.

The Colorado Lottery says it’s the largest Powerball jackpot ever won in the state.

It says the winning ticket for Saturday night’s multistate drawing was purchased at a Kum & Go convenience store in the small western city of Rifle. The ticketholder has yet to come forward.

The winner matched the five winning numbers — 3, 12, 31, 34, 51 — and the Powerball, 24.

The Colorado Lottery says the $90 million jackpot amounts to an estimated $54.9 million cash payout. The store will get a $50,000 commission.

Another Colorado ticket also won $1 million in the drawing. It was purchased in the Denver suburb of Broomfield, and the winner hasn’t come forward yet.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A southeastern Nebraska judge has ruled that a Kansas man’s angry texts to his ex-girlfriend were enough to convict him of disturbing the peace.

20-year-old Kyle Hudlin, of McPherson, Kansas, had appealed after being found guilty last year of the misdemeanor count. He had argued that his texts were protected under his constitutional right to free speech.

But this week, Lancaster County District Judge Stephanie Stacy upheld the conviction and $250 fine. The judge said that while the texts they didn’t contain direct threats of violence, they did contain “angry, profane, insulting and abusive language.” That’s enough to convict someone of disturbing the peace under Nebraska law.
