LincoLn JournaL Star Thursday, March 14, 2019 A5 00 1 domestic-related assaults and disturbances that showed a pattern of be- havior that had escalated to what happened May 29, 2016. Early that day, police were called to the 1500 block of Street, where 32-year-old Jacinda Sta- bler was bleeding from stab wounds on her head, back and right hand, according to court records. She had been sleeping with her three small chil- dren when she awoke just before 3 a.m. to find some- one standing over her, stab- bing her. She kicked her attacker, who ran.

In an interview in 2016, Jacinda Stabler said she spent two nights in the hos- pital and needed 36 staples to repair her wounds. She had told police she was in the process of di- vorcing Eddy Stabler but think he was respon- sible. Athea Stabler later admitted it was her. She told police her brother was upset about the divorce and wanted to cut off his hair and scar her face so she forget him, according to an arrest affi- davit. She said he gave her $200 and a quarter-ounce of methamphetamine after she did it.

In court Wednesday, Reid said he understood Jacinda position that she want her children to grow up without a father. But he also feared what more they would be exposed to if he were out of prison and part of their lives. Lancaster County Dis- trict Judge Andrew Jacobsen said fact of the matter is the jury did find Mr. Sta- bler guilty of these offenses after a Jacinda Stabler, he said, was left with wounds that were hideous to even look And the jury found that Eddy Stabler had put the plan into motion. is something I can- not ignore despite Mr.

Curt Friesen of Henderson asked Barnard why, if the incident took place in Beatrice, should those living outside the town be responsible for paying the judgment. is a unique situa- tion and it looks to me like a sales tax would be the most fair way for this particular Friesen said. is something that happened in the city. To spread that load evenly seems to me to be the most After 68-year-old Helen Wilson was murdered in her downtown Beatrice apartment, Beatrice Police launched an investigation that later went cold. A private investigator hired by the Wilson family, Burdette Searcey, was later hired by the Gage County Office, where he conducted the investiga- tion that led to the arrest of Joseph White, Ada JoAnn Taylor, James Dean, Thomas Winslow, Kathy Gonzalez and Debra Sheldon in 1989.

Five of the six took plea deals in the case White maintained his innocence throughout and it until a review of DNA col- lected at the scene in 2008 was it determined that one of original sus- pects, Bruce Allen Smith, was in fact responsible for the crime. Smith, who died in an Oklahoma prison in 1992, had earlier been ruled out as a suspect after an Oklahoma City police lab technician wrongly said his blood did not match blood collected from apartment. Hanging over Wednes- hearing were two of other options he introduced for paying the Beatrice 6 judgment. LB473 would allow Gage County to apply to the state treasurer for a low-interest loan to pay the judgment in full, but as senators noted, would still result in high property taxes until the loan was paid back. No loan has ever been requested from the state, which has raised questions about the process, plus believed the $30 million loan would come from the already depleted cash reserve, which law- makers hope to bolster this year.

And LB474, which would add federal judgments to the list of claims that could be filed under the State Tort Claims Act, would com- plicate already tight two-year state budget. No action has been taken on any of the three bills. reach the writer at 402- 473-7120 or journalstar.com.

On Twitter Census From A3 people are doing a great job in receiving gra- tuities, making well above the minimum said Halloran, who is in the restaurant business. those that we need to work with them to get them to a level of serv- ing that they can make those kinds of Halloran said built-in inflation for tips with the cost of meals go- ing up. true, Hunt said, that labor laws require employ- ers to supplement wages and tips up to the $9 min- imum. noncompli- ance with these provisions are she said.

Sweeps done by the state Department of Labor in 2012 showed that 84 per- cent of restaurants were not complying with the re- quirement. And workers reported during a hearing they were afraid to report violations for fear of retaliation, Hunt said. Hunt argued that four surrounding states Iowa, South Dakota, Missouri and Colorado pay a higher subminimum wage to tipped workers, ranging from $4.30 an hour in Mis- souri to $8.08 in Colorado. Since the time the tipped subminimum wage went to $2.13 an hour in 1991, the minimum wage for other workers has increased seven times, Hunt said. She said the creation of the two-tiered wage sys- tem in 1966 fundamen- tally changed the practice of tipping, shifting the re- sponsibility of compensat- ing servers from business owners to customers.

In reality, Hunt said, that responsibility has contin- ued to shift to taxpayers, in the form of supporting low-income restaurant workers with supplemental food stamps and Medicaid. Sen. Mike Groene of North Platte said the bill only gives a raise to the high-end tipped wage earn- ers, and hurts rural restau- rants. is a rich pay he said, we serve enough meals in a small-town cafe in a week that they do in the Old Mar- ket or the The small-town cafes employ high school kids, and the bill would take those jobs away, Groene said. then again, we care about small-town Ne- braska, do he said.
