OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 47-year-old Douglas County Jail inmate remains hospitalized after a weekend altercation with several guards.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A group of Omaha high school students will participate in a local chapter of a nationwide mentor program so they can eventually design a new addition for Norris Middle School.

Nearly 80 students from four high schools will meet weekly with professional mentors during the spring semester as part of the Architecture, Construction and Engineering Mentor Program. The mentors come from nearly 30 participating companies in Omaha and will help students work on their design and collaboration skills.

Norris Middle School is scheduled for a $26.5 million renovation and addition. School officials hope the students in charge of designing the addition will gain exposure and connections to future jobs.

The students toured the school last week and will present their designs in May.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The city of Lincoln has started a pilot emergency assistance program to house vulnerable families whose homes have been labeled as uninhabitable.

The city is putting aside $20,000 to help people get into an affordable home or apartment with money for temporary housing, the first month’s rent or a security deposit. The pilot program is a joint effort between the Health department and Building and Safety departments.

The city plans to contract with the Community Action Partnership of Lancaster and Saunders counties to provide case management services. Local Health Department Director Judy Halstead says families without resources whose homes are considered uninhabitable will be referred to Community Action, where caseworkers are expected to respond quickly.

CLARKS, Neb. (AP) — Residents of a Merrick County village that lost its last local grocery in 2015 are considering establishing a co-op store.

Clarks residents have been invited to an informational meeting on Feb. 22 at the old grocery store. The goal: Sell $175,000 in shares for the project to continue.

After a previous grocery closed in 2011, local investors bought the building and opened Len and Jo’s Supermarket. It went out of business in 2015. Since then, residents have been patronizing the local convenience store or driving 10 miles to the nearest supermarket in Central City.

A community survey in the town of about 360 conducted in 2015 showed 89 percent of respondents consider a grocery store to be important.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Afghan family became among the last refugees to land in Omaha before President Donald Trump’s executive order freezing all refugee resettlements took full effect.

Rahimullah Rahimi, his wife and three young children arrived at Eppley Airfield on Wednesday after flying from halfway around the globe.

Lacey Studnicka, who helps coordinate refugee resettlement for Lutheran Family Services of Nebraska, says the group had a lot of families scheduled to come in February, but that it received cancellation notices.

The president’s order suspends all refugee resettlements for 120 days and bars for 90 days any travel into the U.S. from seven Muslim-majority countries. It also indefinitely barred Syrian refugees and cut the number of refugees that will be accepted this year from 110,000 to 50,000.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Montana and federal officials have reached a deal that allows the mass slaughter of wild bison migrating from Yellowstone National Park, while sparing 25 animals that American Indians want.

The Associated Press obtained details of the agreement Thursday.

The spared animals will be kept at a government research facility to monitor for disease and later relocated to Montana’s Fort Peck Reservation.

A dispute over their fate had stalled the park’s plans to kill up to 1,300 bison this winter to curb the species’ migration into Montana.

Park administrators last year proposed relocating a small group of bison to the reservation as an alternative to slaughter.

When Montana livestock officials objected over disease concerns, park officials said they would kill the animals. Gov. Steve Bullock temporarily halted all slaughters on Jan. 19, lifting that order Thursday.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 23-year-old Lincoln man has been sentenced to four to eight years for causing a motorcycle crash that killed his girlfriend in 2014.

Tyler Wilson was sentenced Thursday in Lancaster County District Court. Wilson pleaded no contest in December to manslaughter in the case.

Wilson was driving his motorcycle with his 21-year-old girlfriend, Jessie McCain, on the back of the bike in July 2014. Prosecutors say he was traveling at more than 80 mph on a street where the speed limit was 40 mph when he hit a Jeep, killing McCain.

Wilson had faced up to 20 years in prison.
