NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — A little Nebraska boy and his family are getting used to their new life at home near Norfolk.

At last.

Keagan Sullivan spent the first 30 months of his life tethered to hospital machines.

His mother, Katlinn, has a genetic disorder that required medication to reduce the threat of blood clots. Complications set in when she was pregnant with Keagan. He was delivered early, before his lungs were developed. He weighed just 1 pound, 8 ounces.

While Keagan was at Children’s Hospital in Omaha, Katlinn stayed nearby. She went home during the week for a day or two to see her husband and their daughter, McKenna, and then headed back.

Keagan’s still dependent on machines, but now they’re all home, enjoying being together.

BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Several students will be disciplined for releasing hundreds of crickets in a western Pennsylvania high school as a senior prank.

Chartiers Valley School District tells KDKA-TV (http://cbsloc.al/1na2OXj ) that the students involved in Thursday’s prank at the high school in Bridgeville have been identified and will be disciplined. The district spokeswoman, Kara Droney, didn’t say what that would entail.

School officials aren’t saying how many Chartiers Valley High School seniors were involved, though the television station says it was about six.

School janitors and teachers were enlisted to help round up the bugs. Some of the prank was caught on school surveillance cameras.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A former fire chief has been sent to prison for stealing from his fire department in southeast Nebraska.

Forty-seven-year-old John Porter pleaded no contest in March in Lancaster County District Court to theft and attempted possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. On Thursday he was given three to four years for the theft and a year for the weapons charge.

Prosecutors say Porter manipulated accounts and stole more than $33,000 from November 2010 through January 2013. He’s repaid the money to the Southeast Rural Fire Department, from which he was fired last year.

Police say they found more than a dozen shotguns and rifles while searching Porter’s home last year. Because Porter was convicted of theft in 2006, he’s ineligible to own guns.

PILGER, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have released the names of three people killed in a fiery collision in northeast Nebraska.

The accident occurred just after 9 a.m. Tuesday in southeastern Stanton County, about seven miles north-northeast of Clarkson.

Sheriff Mike Unger identified the three as 67-year-old David Schmid and his wife, 59-year-old Elaine Schmid, from Norfolk, and 53-year-old Derek Wrase, of Joice, Iowa.

Unger says Elaine Schmid was driving a sport utility vehicle when it hit a tanker truck at the intersection of state Highways 15 and 32. The tanker soon was struck by a semitrailer. Wrase was driving the semitrailer.

The driver of the empty tanker truck, 27-year-old Brandon Wolf, of Fremont, was hospitalized.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Where art meets science is the focus of the next Omaha Science Café.

The speakers will be Kenneth Bé, who is head of paintings conservation at the Gerald R. Ford Conservation Center, and James Temme, who is director of the radiation science technology division at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

Bé will discuss technical examinations used in the art conservation studio and talk about restoration of an 1899 painting, “Pearl of Venice,” by Thomas Moran. The Ford Conservation Center, Joslyn Art Museum and the medical school worked together to produce a high-quality X-ray of the painting to learn more about the artist’s technique and the condition of the painting.

The event is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on June 3 at the Slowdown, 729 N. 14th St.

HOUSTON (AP) — A battle flag that witnessed the D-Day operation from atop the USS Texas will be displayed in a Houston museum for the first time since World War II.

The flag will be exhibited beginning Friday at the Houston Museum of Natural Science in honor of the 70th anniversary of the Allied invasion of the Normandy coastline on June 6, 1944.

The flag had been given by the ship’s crew to Emil Saul, a navigator aboard the USS Texas who was severely wounded when a German shell hit the vessel while it was part of an operation to capture the port city of Cherbourg.

Saul gave it back to the USS Texas, now a memorial named the Battleship Texas that sits in the Port of Houston.

BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — An eastern Nebraska man has been sentenced again for the stabbing death of his roommate.

48-year-old Darrell White, of Bellevue, was sentenced Thursday to 18 to 20 years in prison for the September 2010 death of Todd Berg.

White had previously been convicted of second-degree murder in the case and was sentenced to 40 to 60 years in prison. The Nebraska Supreme Court ordered a new trial last year due to faulty jury instruction. White pleaded guilty in January to manslaughter.

Assistant Public Defender Chris Lathrop says White acted in self-defense during an argument between the temporary roommates, but prosecutor Jennifer Miralles says evidence suggests that wasn’t the case.

The newspaper reports White will get credit for time he’s already served.

DALLAS (AP) — The Boy Scouts of America has formally confirmed former Defense Secretary Robert Gates as its new president.

The group’s national council voted to approve Gates for the volunteer role Thursday at the organization’s annual meeting in Nashville, Tennessee.

Gates was defense secretary for Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. He also formerly served as director of the CIA and president of Texas A&M University.

As defense secretary, Gates oversaw the end of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy excluding openly gay soldiers. He joins an organization that remains entangled in debates over its policy to allow openly gay Scouts, but exclude openly gay leaders.

Gay-rights groups and opponents of the policy continue to campaign against the organization.

The Boy Scouts of America’s national headquarters are in Irving, Texas.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Baby falcons nesting in eastern Nebraska have been adorned with colored bands as part of an annual wildlife conservation tradition.

Animal experts tagged the birds Thursday atop the Woodmen of the World Tower for this year’s Woodman Falcon Nesting Project event.

Joel Jorgensen with the Nebraska Games and Parks Commission says he and others try to tag the falcons around this time each year, when they’re about three weeks old. He says the task is important to preserve the previously endangered peregrine falcons.

Betsy Finch, rehabilitation manager at Fontenelle Forest Raptor Recovery, says after tagging the birds, the group inspects them for diseases and makes sure they’re healthy.

Tagging the falcons is part of a long-term study to track falcon populations across the Midwest and the U.S.

NEW YORK (AP) — More Facebook users can expect to see a blue cartoon dinosaur popping up in their feeds, reminding them to check their privacy settings.

No stranger to privacy fiascos, Facebook had already made the tool available to users who were posting public updates. The feature is designed to remind people how widely they share posts, what apps they use and other privacy issues.

Facebook engineering manager Raylene Yung says the tool is the result of user feedback and decisions by the company to improve the user experience. Facebook says users are sometimes worried about sharing something by accident, or sharing with the wrong audience.

Facebook will also make the default audience for new users’ posts to “friends.” Previously, it was set to public.
