GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — The new $14 million passenger terminal being built at Grand Island’s airport will be more than triple the size of the previous facility.

The new terminal is expected to be done in March at the Central Nebraska Regional Airport.

Airport Executive Director Mike Olson says the additional size will be clear to the 60,000 passengers a year who pass through the facility.

Inside the terminal, a mural on the floor will remind passengers of the Platte River. And a new jet bridge will allow passengers to board planes without stepping outside.

Federal grants are covering roughly $11 million of the project’s costs.

DETROIT (AP and Post) — A recall began Friday for more than 71,000 Britax infant car seats.

The recall covers the B-Safe 35, the B-Safe 35 Elite and the B-Safe 35 Travel System made from Oct. 1, 2014 to July 1, 2015.

Federal regulators say the seats have handles that can develop cracks that can lead to fractures.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the seats were sold at Babies R Us, buybuy BABY, Target and other stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com, Diapers.com and other online retailers from November 2014 to January 2016 for between $210 and $250.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The highest court in Kansas has struck down a Wichita voter-approved ordinance that reduces penalties for possessing small amounts of marijuana.

The Kansas Supreme Court issued its ruling Friday. The case has been closely watched by activists in other Kansas communities who are considering similar voter-led initiatives if state lawmakers continue to block reform of marijuana laws.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt argued the ordinance conflicts with state law.

Wichita voters approved the ordinance in April, with 54 percent in favor.

The city council says it put the measure on the ballot because 3,000 people signed a petition for it.

The Supreme Court had earlier put the measure on hold while considering its legality.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Court of Appeals ruled in a split decision that the state’s constitution protects a woman’s right to an abortion independent of the rights granted by the U.S. Constitution.

The court made the statement Friday in a 7-7 ruling that maintains a temporary hold on the state’s first-in-the-nation ban on a common second-trimester abortion method.

Tie votes from the appeals court uphold the lower-court ruling being appealed. That means seven judges agreed with a lower court judge, who ruled that the Kansas Constitution’s Bill of Rights has general statements about personal liberties that create independent protections for abortion rights.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Kansas City, Kansas, man has pleaded guilty to a bomb hoax that caused the disruption at the Kansas City International Airport.

David James Cain pleaded guilty Thursday to conveying false information.

Prosecutors say Cain left his truck parked in front of Terminal B for more than an hour in August 2014. After announcements were made threatening to tow the truck, Cain told several Southeast Airlines employees a bomb was in the vehicle. Police and FBI bomb experts found no explosive materials.

The terminal was evacuated for about two hours, causing significant delays for the rest of the day.

A sentencing hearing has not been set.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Columbia man has pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy to distribute synthetic heroin, which resulted in the death of another man.

Nick Connor Burris pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court. Co-defendant Marquette Deandre Murrell, of Columbia, pleaded guilty to the same charge in December.

Columbia police say Burris admitted he supplied the drug to an 18-year-old man who was found dead of a drug overdose in August 2015. He admitted he bought the drug from Murrell, who told him it was 95 percent pure and should be diluted. Burris mixed the synthetic heroin with Benadryl before giving it to the victim, whose name was not released.

Burris and Murrell each face up to 20 years in federal prison without parole, plus a fine up to $1 million.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Leaders of a Kansas City anti-violent crime coalition say last year’s 109 homicides were troubling but not an indication the focused deterrence approach to fighting crime is failing.

Two years after the Kansas City No Violence Alliance was formed, the city’s homicides dropped to 81 in 2014, which was their lowest point in 42 years. Officials lauded the number but cautioned that the coalition’s success couldn’t be determined so soon.

They’re saying the same thing now after last year’s homicide count returned to its 10-year average. And so far in 2016, the city has 11 homicides, which is more than it had at this point in previous years.

Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker says the coalition’s approach will eventually identify the small percentage of the criminal population committing violent crimes.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Kansas City man charged in the shooting deaths of three people, including his 1-year-old son, has married the woman who says she witnessed the killings.

Jackson County prosecutors say they believe the marriage was intended to prevent Shellana Victoria Davis from testifying against Joseph L. Nelson because of the state’s spousal privilege law.

Nelson is charged with killing his former girlfriend, their son and the woman’s current boyfriend in September.

The Kansas City Star reports court documents indicate Davis told police she saw him shoot the victims after he argued with his former girlfriend, 17-year-old Bianca Fletcher. He then allegedly shot the other two victims to eliminate witnesses.

The state says in court documents that Davis’ witness account was the basis for the felony charges against Nelson.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Missouri Supreme Court has set a May execution date for a man convicted of killing a deputy and two other people 13 years ago.  The court on Thursday issued a warrant of execution for 66-year-old Earl Forrest. His execution on May 11th would be the first this year.

Forrest was convicted of killing Harriett Smith, Michael Wells and Dent County Deputy JoAnn Barnes in December 2002.

Smith was killed at her Salem home in a drug dispute, and Wells was visiting her. Barnes died in a shootout when officers went to Forrest’s home to investigate the killings.

Missouri executed 10 men in 2014 and six last year, but the pace is expected to slow because most of the remaining death row inmates still have court appeals pending.
