ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Walt Disney World has erected a lighthouse sculpture to honor the memory of a 2-year-old Nebraska boy who was killed by an alligator last year at one of its hotels.

Area television stations reported that the lighthouse was installed within the past week near where the boy died at the Florida resort.

Last year, an alligator grabbed little Lane Graves, who was playing along the Seven Seas Lagoon beach outside Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. The child’s father, Matt Graves of Omaha, jumped into the water to try to free his son, whose body was found 16 hours later. His death was ruled an accident.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Police have released the name of a man killed by a hit-and-run driver in Grand Island.

Police identified him as Justin Foster, who’d moved to the city from Arizona a couple months ago. He was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident early Monday morning.

Authorities are still looking for the driver and the vehicle that hit Foster. No arrests have been reported.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A former council member for the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska who’d pleaded guilty to stealing from the tribe’s casino in Iowa has been given five years of probation.

A U.S. district judge in Omaha also told Lawrence Payer on Monday that he must pay $36,000 in restitution. Payer had pleaded guilty to theft from a gaming establishment on Indian lands.

Also Monday in Omaha, another former tribal council member pleaded guilty to the same charge. The sentencing for Thomas Snowball is scheduled for Nov. 6.

Authorities say nine former council members conspired to siphon more than $327,000 from the WinnaVegas Casino in Sloan, Iowa.

HARTINGTON, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a northeast Nebraska man was fatally injured when he was struck by a vehicle while walking across a highway.

The accident occurred just before 6 p.m. Monday on the south end of Hartington.

The Cedar County Sheriff’s Office says 55-year-old Daniel Leise had been working with other volunteers at a nearby cemetery before he was struck by the eastbound vehicle while crossing Nebraska Highway 84. The Sheriff’s Office says Leise died later at a Sioux City, Iowa, hospital.

The office says the vehicle was driven by 72-year-old Alton Halle, also of Hartington.

The accident is being investigated.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A federal appeals court has ruled that the due process rights of a man serving decades in prison for the 2004 shooting death of a Nebraska soccer player were not violated.

Lucky Iromuanya was convicted of second-degree murder for the death of 21-year-old Jenna Cooper, a starting University of Nebraska-Lincoln soccer player. Iromuanya never denied firing the shot outside a Lincoln party that struck Cooper in the neck, but said he only intended to fire a warning shot at a drunken man who confronted him.

On Monday, an 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel said Iromuanya’s jury would likely have been instructed to consider a manslaughter conviction if his trial had been held after 2011 — the year a Nebraska Supreme Court decision determined that manslaughter is an intentional killing without malice upon a sudden quarrel.

But, the panel said, the 2011 case could not be applied retroactively.

OSMOND, Neb. (AP) — Investigators for the Nebraska State Fire Marshal have been unable to determine what caused a fire that destroyed a building in downtown Osmond.

Nobody was in Tiger Town Food & Floral Center when flames erupted July 9 in the three-story brick structure.

Investigators say the blaze was accidental, but the cause is unknown.

The fire left the northeast Nebraska community without a grocery store for its 770 or so residents.
