LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Horse riders in Lincoln are worried that the city is trying to drive them out of a park because of new attention to cross country runners.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports that veteran Pioneers Park riders have started a petition and one stable owner has filed a tort claim against the city seeking restoration of the entire bridle trail, a feature of the original park that has now deteriorated due to lack of maintenance.

Horse owners say the city has not maintained the horse paths but instead has put lots of effort into establishing and maintaining trails for runners.

Lincoln Parks and Recreation Director Lynn Johnson says the department has no intention of closing horse trails and wants to work with horse riders regarding their concerns.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri Supreme Court won’t review a lower court ruling that spares the state’s prison system from having to reveal where it gets drugs used in executions. Missouri’s high court didn’t comment Tuesday in rejecting a request to review the case from the American Civil Liberties Union, the nonprofit Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and other plaintiffs.

They say the state’s source of execution drugs should be disclosed under open-records laws. The Missouri Department of Corrections has refused to divulge where it gets pentobarbital, a powerful barbiturate.

The Missouri Court of Appeals ruled in February that any disclosure of the identities of “individuals essential to the execution process” could hinder the state’s ability to execute prisoners.

An attorney for the media groups says more appeals are planned.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — A Florida woman who drowned a puppy in a central Nebraska airport toilet has admitted violating probation by possessing a dog.

Court records say Cynthia Anderson made the admission during a Tuesday hearing in Hall County District Court. Her sentencing is scheduled Aug. 4.

Police in Edgewater, Florida, say Anderson had a dog with her when she was arrested there in October on an unrelated theft allegation. As part of Anderson’s two-year Nebraska probation sentence rendered in July 2015, she was barred from possessing animals for five years.

Officials wouldn’t let Anderson board a January 2015 flight in Grand Island because the puppy with her was so young and inadequately contained. She then was seen entering a restroom. Another woman soon reported finding the Doberman puppy dead in a toilet.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — An autopsy report concludes that a toddler fatally injured at a carnival in Wichita, Kansas, died after grabbing an electrically charged fence. The report cited Tuesday by the Wichita Eagle says 15-month-old Pressley Bartonek of Conway Springs was diagnosed as being brain dead five days after being shocked May 12.

According to the report, the toddler was at a small carnival on a parking lot when she grabbed metal fencing and became unresponsive by the time her father freed her hands. The report says that a test by an electrical company showed about 300 volts coming from the fence.

The carnival operator, Evans United Shows based in Plattsburg, Mo., has not publicly commented about the matter.

Wichita police are investigating.

LINCOLNWOOD, Ill. (AP) — Authorities say a 16-year-old girl has been charged as an adult with first-degree murder and accused of stabbing her Uber driver to death in suburban Chicago.

Lincolnwood police say they responded to a report of a man screaming for help early Tuesday when they found 34-year-old Grant Nelson of Wilmette with multiple stab wounds.

They say Nelson told them he was a driver for the ride-sharing service Uber and that his passenger stabbed him. Police say they located Eliza Wasni near the crime scene in possession of two weapons they believe she used in the stabbing.

Nelson died later at a nearby hospital. The Cook County state’s attorney’s office says Wasni is scheduled to appear in bond court Wednesday afternoon in Skokie.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas legislators have approved a new requirement that abortion providers give women information about their doctors’ histories and provide it in print in a specific type style on white paper.

The bill goes to Republican Gov. Sam Brownback after the Senate approved it on a 25-15 vote Tuesday. The House passed the measure last week. Brownback is a strong abortion opponent.

The bill would require that abortion providers give women information about the physician at least 24 hours beforehand. The information would include the doctor’s credentials, malpractice insurance, hospital privileges and disciplinary record. It would have to be printed in 12-point Times New Roman type.

Bill supporters say women need the information to make informed decisions.

Critics say the bill is meant to discourage women from having abortions.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Kansas City man who just wanted to build some putting greens for kids in his inner-city neighborhood is attracting attention from the PGA.

Chris Harris says he didn’t know much about golf when he decided to build nine holes of putting greens in a neighborhood where kids have few activities provided for them.

The project attracted support from Midwest Section PGA and some major firms in the Kansas City region. Now, plans are for a larger course that will require Harris to knock down his house and two others he owns in the neighborhood.

Brad Demo, executive director and CEO of Midwest PGA, said his organization likely will start with programming and equipment support and may eventually help raise money.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, says he’s opening up for bidding the proposed construction of a single terminal at Kansas City International Airport.

Sly James publicly announced the action Tuesday, saying more firms have expressed interest in competing for the project. He says bids would be accepted for the next three weeks.

Kansas City-based engineering company Burns & McDonnell has submitted a proposal to design, build and privately finance the new terminal, with exclusive rights to the project.

City leaders would like to put the project up for voter approval in November.

The city says it’s seeking proposals calling for a 750,000-square-foot terminal with 35 gates but expandable to 42, and a parking garage with at least 6,500 spaces.

The city would retain ownership and operation of the airport.

The Kansas Senate has rejected a proposal to restrict lobbying of the Legislature by public school districts as it debates a bill that would increase the state’s spending on education. Republican Sen. Dennis Pyle of Hiawatha offered the proposal as amendment to a bill that would phase in an increase in education funding of about $230 million over two years.

The Senate voted 23-17 against his proposal. It would have prevented school districts or school officials from using state dollars to lobby the Legislature. Pyle said state dollars should be used in the classroom.

Critics said the proposal was an attempt to micromanage school districts.

The plan to boost education funding is a response to a Kansas Supreme Court ruling in March that current spending is inadequate.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say two Lincoln firefighters have been injured by the explosion of a propane gas grill.

Residents using the grill alongside a garage behind an apartment building called 911 for help Monday evening when they noticed flames coming from a tube that attached the propane tank to the grill burners.

The two firefighters were injured when the gas tank exploded. The blast shattered apartment windows, blew a hole in the garage and scattered grill parts all over the area.

None of the apartment residents was injured. Lincoln Battalion Chief Leo Benes says the firefighters were treated for minor injuries at a hospital and then released.
