BOSTON (AP) — The smell of burning bread crumbs has forced a Miami-bound American Airlines flight to return to Boston.

An airlines spokeswoman says Flight 1532 took off from Boston’s Logan International Airport at 6:36 a.m. Sunday, but passengers soon began smelling smoke.

The plane returned to Boston at 7:10 a.m., and the smell was found to be from bread crumbs burning in an oven. The oven was cleaned, and the flight took off again at 8:20 a.m.

The plane was carrying 150 passengers and five crew members.

BEAVER CROSSING, Neb. (AP) — Residents of the eastern Nebraska towns hit hard by tornadoes earlier this month are still cleaning up debris.

The Nebraska Emergency Management Agency says more than 700 volunteers were in Beaver Crossing Saturday to help the town’s 400 residents pick up.

Officials encouraged the volunteers to stay home on Sunday because heavy equipment will be used to pick up piles of debris that have been gathered since the May 11 tornadoes.

But volunteers will be needed again Monday.

Beaver Cross will hold a town hall at 6 p.m. Monday to discuss the tornado damage.

The tornadoes caused more than $20 million damage in several eastern Nebraska towns, but didn’t cause any serious injuries.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government is stepping up efforts to help Central American farmers fight a devastating coffee disease — and hold down the price of your morning cup.

A fungus called coffee rust has caused more than $1 billion in damage across Latin American. The fungus is especially deadly to Arabica coffee — that’s the bean that makes up most high-end, specialty coffees.

It’s already affecting the price of some of those coffees in the United States.

The U.S. Agency for International Development is concerned about the economic security of small coffee farms abroad.

On Monday, agency head Raj Shah plans to announce a $5 million partnership with Texas A&M University’s World Coffee Research center to try to eliminate the fungus.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Omaha Public Power District has scheduled three public meetings to discuss its need for easements so a high-voltage transmission line can be built in southeast Nebraska.

The 180-mile line will eventually run from a substation at OPPD’s Nebraska City Station to a substation near Sibley, Missouri.

The district must negotiate with property owners to acquire easements in Otoe, Nemaha and Richardson counties. Construction is set to begin in summer 2015.

The first meeting is scheduled to run from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday at the Lied Lodge in Nebraska City. The second will run from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Falls City Middle School gym, and the third will run from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday at the county fairgrounds 4-H building in Auburn.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A senior administrator for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta and former assistant surgeon general has been selected as the new dean of the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Public Health.

Dr. Ali S. Khan has been at the CDC for the past 23 years. Since 2010 he has been director of the Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response, overseeing the national public health security program.

His UNMC appointment is effective July 1.

The 50-year-old Khan will become the third dean of the UNMC College of Public Health, which was founded in 2007. He succeeds Ayman El-Mohandes, who held the post from 2009 through 2013 before leaving to direct the School of Public Health at the City University of New York.

COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — A century-old war memorial in Columbus damaged in a storm a year ago is undergoing restoration.

The Columbus Telegram reports (http://bit.ly/1kcGefl ) workers have installed pieces of granite and remounted two cannons at the Civil War memorial in Frankfort Square. Hopes are to have the project finished by Memorial Day.

The memorial, dedicated March 15, 1900, features a tall granite pillar topped with a 5-foot-wide eagle statue and flanked on both sides by cannons. The pillar was toppled and pieces were broken when a tree fell on it during a storm last May.

The granite has the names of more than 140 Civil War veterans engraved in it.

The Columbus City Council has approved $62,000 for the project, but most of the cost will be covered by insurance.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court says a judge was wrong to reverse a Minnesota man’s order to pay child support because a DNA test says he wasn’t the father.

The Lincoln Journal-Star (http://bit.ly/1jFKijw ) reports a majority of the split court says in Friday’s ruling that the district court overstepped authority by turning a motion to modify child support payments into a paternity challenge.

Justice Lindsey Miller-Lerman wrote that the man in the case identified only as Brian F. is still legally the child’s father.

The court sent the case back to the district court to modify the child support agreement.

Justices William Connolly and Michael McCormack disagreed saying under 1996 statutes the man had no obligation to continue paying child support if he could prove he was not a child’s father.

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s a second-term Cabinet shuffle for President Barack Obama.

Obama plans to nominate Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan to be White House budget director.

And the president is considering naming San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro as Donovan’s successor.

That’s according to people familiar with the selection process. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter by name.

The moves would raise the profile of two men with close ties to the president.

Donovan is an original member of Obama’s Cabinet and is well-liked within the White House.

Officials have praised his work overseeing the government’s response to Hurricane Sandy. As budget director, he would have significant influence over the administration’s policy and spending priorities.

Castro’s star has been on the rise since Obama tapped him to deliver the keynote address at the 2012 Democratic National Convention and his is considered a possible vice presidential pick in 2016.

(AP) — The driver of a car who died in a crash with a semitrailer west of Omaha Friday has been identified as a 19-year old Bellevue woman.

Sarah Bryhan, a 2013 graduate of Bellevue East High School, was driving the Ford Fusion that entered an intersection in rural Douglas County just before 1 p.m. Friday. The car was struck by a truck.

Douglas County Sheriff’s Sgt. Greg Kelly says a passenger in the car, 18-year-old Alisa Robertson, of Bellevue, remains hospitalized at Nebraska Medical Center.

The driver of the semi suffered minor injuries. He was not cited.

Bryhan was enrolled at Bellevue Christian Center’s college leadership program. She had recently returned from a mission trip to Haiti restoring villages from a recent disaster.

(AP) — A 6-foot emu running loose for weeks in Cass County has been killed by Plattsmouth police.

The emu named Lucy was shot near Rhylander Park by police after officers determined she posed a public safety threat.

Plattsmouth Police Chief Steve Rathman says the emu had migrated into the city and had become more of a threat to citizens.

Lucy’s owner of 10 years, Marvin Vogler, says she was wild. He says he unsuccessfully tried to recapture her for weeks and at one point asked for the help of several high school runners but no one could catch her.

Emus are typically curious, shy birds, but they have strong legs and sharp claws that can make them dangerous if they become defensive.
