OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A funeral has been held for a 2-year-old Nebraska boy killed by an alligator at Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

The Mass for Lane Thomas Graves was held Tuesday at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in west Omaha. It was limited to family and friends. Lane was pulled into the water and drowned last week despite the frantic efforts of his father.

In a statement, Matt and Melissa Graves thanked the “friends and strangers who share in our loss and who have shown us profound compassion.”

The Graves have established the Lane Thomas Foundation, saying all donations will go to charity. On the foundation’s website they say, “while there is no way to mend our hearts, we can do good work in his honor.”

HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say an 18-year-old driver has died after crashing into a tree in Hastings.

Hastings police say the accident occurred around 3:30 a.m. Monday when a vehicle driven by Joshua Hedlund ran off 12th Street and struck the tree. Three passengers with him were injured.

The crash is being investigated.

STANTON, Neb. (AP) — A 22-year-old man is accused of stabbing his brother in northeast Nebraska’s Stanton County.

Sheriff Mike Unger says the man used a dagger to stab his 19-year-old brother in the abdomen Monday at a Stanton residence. The younger man was taken to a hospital.

The older brother was arrested on suspicion of assault and use of a weapon. Online court records don’t show that he’s been formally charged yet.

COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — A California company plans to build a solvent plant in the eastern Nebraska city of Columbus.

Santa Barbara-based Greenyug LLC announced Monday that the plant will be erected next to the Archer Daniels Midland ethanol plant. Greenyug will use feedstock from ADM’s wet corn mill to make the solvent.

The new plant is expected to employ up to 20 full-time workers. Greenyug Vice President Luca Zullo said the plant would cost tens of millions of dollars but would not provide a more specific figure.

Construction is expected to begin late this year and be finished by late 2017. The plant will produce the solvent ethyl acetate, which is used in such products as paint, coatings, pharmaceuticals and adhesives.

DENVER (AP) — Legal marijuana is giving Colorado a stinky conundrum. Visitors can buy the drug, but they can’t use it public. Or a rental car. Or most hotel rooms.

Some legalization advocates believe they have a solution — pot clubs. Denver voters may consider a ballot measure this fall to make the city the most populous place in the nation to expressly allow pot clubs.

But marijuana clubs have proven a harder sell here than legalizing the drug in the first place. Colorado’s constitution doesn’t allow nor ban public use. The result is a patchwork of local club policies.

No other states with legal recreational pot have licensed clubs statewide. Alaska is working on regulations to allow consumption where the drug is sold, but the regulations aren’t up and running yet.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nearly $18,000 worth of snakes and feeding rats have been stolen from an exotic pet store in Omaha.

Surveillance video shows a burglary being committed at Bart’s Exotic Pets early Friday. The intruder collected eight ball pythons, including one valued at $5,000, in a little more than a minute and a half.

The suspect also stole $1,500 in frozen rats.

Store owner Don Everson says he believes the thief is a former customer. He intends to press charges.

Everson says the ball python is a constrictor snake found in sub-Saharan Africa. Growing from 3 to 5 feet, it’s the smallest of the African pythons and is popular in the pet trade because of its typically docile temperament.
