OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — As a Nebraska-based organization that helps at-risk youth celebrates its 100th birthday in Omaha, the nonprofit is focusing less on the residential care model that made it well-known.

Boys Town officials announced in June that the organization was closing residential care sites in New York, Texas, California and Florida.

The organization began a century ago when a young Irish priest welcomed homeless boys into a run-down mansion in downtown Omaha. The residential care model involves placing groups of six to eight children with emotional and behavioral issues in single-family homes with married couples. The average stay is 12 to 18 months with the goal of returning kids to families.

The site closings leave nine Boys Town sites in six states and the District of Columbia.

MADISON, Neb. (AP) — Two people have been sentenced for a credit card scheme that defrauded people and businesses in northeast Nebraska.

31-year-old Jorge Navarro and 31-year-old Yaima Lugo, both of Madison, were sentenced Friday in Madison County District Court.

Court records say the two had used the cards to make several local purchases. Investigators say falsified credit/debit cards, gift cards, driver’s licenses and Social Security cards were found at the couple’s house during a search.

Navarro was sentenced to three to six years on drug and fraud charges. Lugo was sentenced to two to four years on charges of fraud and of providing false information.

BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) — Those wondering what to do with their eclipse-viewing glasses now that the Aug. 21 solar eclipse has passed now have a better option than the trash can.

The Homestead National Monument of America in Beatrice is seeking donations of certified solar eclipse-viewing glasses. The monument plans to send them on to Astronomers Without Boarders, which is collecting the glasses to be redistributed across South America and Asia for the 2019 total solar eclipse.

Donations will continue through mid-September. Donation boxes can be found at either the Homestead Education Center or the Homestead Heritage Center.

The monument sits four miles west of Beatrice, along Nebraska Highway 4.

NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — Police in Norfolk say a man has been stabbed to death, and another man has been arrested in the case.

Police say officers were called to an apartment complex Friday afternoon on reports of a stabbing and found a man with wounds outside the complex. The man died at the scene. Police had not released his name by midday Saturday pending notification of his family members.

A suspect, a 48-year-old Norfolk man, was arrested Friday night after he turned himself in at the police department. He is being held in the Norfolk City Jail on suspicion of first-degree murder.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A former Council Bluffs, Iowa, assistant city attorney has been indicted on drug charges in Nebraska.

44-year-old Don Bauermeister, of Omaha, was charged by a federal grand jury with possessing with intent to distribute about 13 pounds of marijuana.

Reached at his house by the World-Herald late Friday, Bauermeister declined to comment.

Bauermeister had been city employee since February 2003, but resigned in mid-June. At the time, Council Bluffs City Attorney Dick Wade said Bauermeister gave no reason for his resignation.

The indictment was handed down Thursday. The allegation covers a period from November 2016 to Jan. 9, 2017.

If convicted, Bauermeister faces up to five years in prison.

LOUISVILLE, Neb. (AP) — A former chancellor at University of Nebraska Medical Center retired three years ago, but has returned to work part time as a pediatrician.

80-year-old Dr. Harold Maurer says he “failed retirement” in his two-month foray into doing little besides spending time with family and friends.

His wife, Beverly, says she’s ready for him to hang up his stethoscope, but he isn’t.

His schedule isn’t intense anymore. He said he often sees one to three patients a day.

When he was chancellor, Maurer raised hundreds of millions of dollars to transform the medical center’s campus. When he worked as a physician before that, he helped develop a chemotherapy-radiation regimen for a rare childhood cancer that led to fewer amputations and more lives saved.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An anonymous donor has given more than $10,000 to the Omaha Police Department for 150 naloxone kits to help protect officers from accidental opioid overdoses.

The donation was announced by police this week.

Deputy Chief Greg Gonzalez says the kits, which are made of two-dose nasal spray, will be given to all police dog handlers and distributed among patrol officers, detective, and school resource officers.

Officers can use the spray if they suspect an opioid overdose or if their fellow officers or trained drug dogs come into contact with the powerful powdered drug fentanyl, carfentanil or heroin.

Police and first responders around the country have reported accidental exposure and, in some cases, overdose after coming in contact with powerful opioids while on the job.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A former bank employee has been sentenced to prison for embezzling more than $74,000 from a 72-year-old woman’s account.

25-year-old Holliann Casey, of Lincoln, was sentenced Thursday in Lancaster County District Court to three to eight years in prison. She had pleaded no contest to theft by unlawful taking.

A Pinnacle Bank customer reported unauthorized transactions on her account a year ago. Investigators say the woman first took her suspicions to Casey, who then tried to conceal the discrepancy by shifting funds from various accounts.

But an audit found that Casey had withdrawn $74,150 in cash from the woman’s account without her knowledge.

Bank officials reimbursed the woman for the loss.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A former Santee Community Schools superintendent and his wife are under federal indictment, accused of theft.

A federal grand jury on Thursday indicted both 61-year-old Paul Sellon and his wife, 54-year-old Sue Ann Sellon on suspicion of theft of government money between 2010 and 2014 and making false statements to the U.S. Education Department. Paul Sellon is also accused of receipt of a bribe and 10 counts of wire fraud.

Paul Sellon had already been charged in federal court with theft of $314,000 from a federal program, but a judge allowed him to withdraw his guilty plea earlier this month. The judge expressed concerns about the plea agreement where the government agreed not to file charges against Sellon’s wife if he pleaded guilty.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Mutual of Omaha executives are considering moving to a new home office in downtown Omaha.

Chief Executive James Blackledge told the Omaha World-Herald Thursday that there’s no definite plan, location or timetable but also said a decision could come “in the not-too-distant future.”

The new headquarters wouldn’t be far from Mutual’s midtown office, which sits 33 blocks west of the Missouri River. The iconic structure was built in phases, and its dark tower is adorned at the top with the company’s Indian head logo.

About three-quarters of the 109-year-old company’s 5,300 employees work in Omaha. Blackledge says Mutual has added 500 jobs in the past 3½ years.
