(AP) — Grand Island firefighters can’t wear their special pink shirts while on duty.

Firefighters have created a pink breast cancer awareness shirt as part of Breast Cancer Awareness month in October. The bright pink shirts carry a message: “Grand Island Fire supports Breast Cancer Awareness.” The shirts cost $20 each, and the proceeds go to a mammogram fund to aid women who cannot afford a mammogram to get one.

But Grand Island Fire Chief Cory Schmidt said October is also Fire Prevention Safety month. He says it’s important to have firefighters in their regular uniforms as they make educational talks to area schoolchildren and the public.

(AP) — Lincoln officials have been working on a plan to promote travel options for residents.

The goal is to keep more cars and trucks off city streets because more people are riding bikes, taking buses or sharing rides to work or school.

More than 80 percent of Lincoln residents drive alone to work, a rate that has risen over the past 20 years.

A new travel options draft report says only biking has seen an increase as a travel mode, likely because of the city’s extensive trail system.

The report also says funding could be a problem. The plan could cost an estimated $184,000 the first year and $328,000 by the fifth year.

(AP) — An autopsy has been ordered on the body of an 18-year-old who had spent the night with friends in the eastern Nebraska community of Waverly.

Lancaster County Sheriff Terry Wagner says the young man was from Greenwood. The body was found in the home about 1:45 p.m. Sunday. Wagner says there were no signs of trauma.

The man’s name hasn’t been released.

(AP) — Authorities are investigating a fire at an Omaha senior living facility that injured one person.

The Irvington Volunteer Fire Department says the fire started Friday morning on the third floor of a resident’s room at the Woodbridge Senior Village. A sprinkler system put out the blaze.

Officials say the woman living inside the room suffered burns and smoke inhalation. She was taken to a nearby hospital.

Other residents were evacuated and no other injuries were reported. Some units had water damage from the sprinkler system.

The state fire marshal is investigating what caused the fire.

(AP) — Dozens of homeless children in Grand Island public schools will have warm coats this winter thanks to a donation by an organization of human resources professionals in central Nebraska.

Central Nebraska Human Resources Management Association is providing coats for 68 homeless children in Grand Island Public Schools. Last year the organization donated 33 coats.

The central Nebraska human resources group also is donating 38 coats for students in Kearney and 37 in Hastings.

Members of the association shop for new coats with money from the organization’s charitable fund.

(AP) — County supervisors in Gage County in southeast Nebraska are ready to begin sending some of their jail inmates across the state line to be housed in Washington County, Kan., but the county attorney wants to wait to get an agreement on paper.

Holding prisoners in Kansas will cost $35 per day under an agreement between the two counties. Sheriff Millard “Gus” Gustafson said on Friday he has met with Washington County Sheriff Justin Cordry to discuss details of outsourcing inmates to the 34-bed Kansas jail built in 2007. Gage County would save as much as $30 a day for each inmate it moves to Kansas.

Chief Deputy Attorney Rick Schreiner says an agreement needs to be drafted that leaves no unforeseen scenarios.

(AP) — Western South Dakota ranchers are reeling from the loss of tens of thousands of cattle in last weekend’s blizzard as pits to dispose of the dead animals are set to open Monday.

Heath Ferguson says the storm killed 96 percent of his herd of 100 black Angus and Limousin cattle, a hit worth $250,000. He says total losses topped more than 1,000 head, as six other herds were roaming the family’s 16,000 acres east of Sturgis.

Up to 4 feet of snow fell in the Black Hills area last weekend.

Ferguson says the vast majority of ranchers can’t afford insurance that covers storm-related damage and the farm bill’s Livestock Indemnity Program is in flux because of the federal shutdown. He says ranchers are an independent bunch, but need help.

(AP) — An arrest affidavit filed in Webster County Court says a Guide Rock woman found dead in her Guide Rock home in southern Nebraska was stabbed 22 times.

Authorities have arrested a mother and son in the Oct. 4 death of 68-year-old Virginia Barone.

Investigators say 41-year-old Shelley Casterline confessed to the killing after she and her son, 23-year-old Andrew Casterline, were arrested a day after Barone’s killing in central Iowa. The pair are accused of mugging a woman in a Newton, Iowa, parking lot on Oct. 5.

Nebraska court records say Shelley Casterline told police she and her son argued with Barone before she stabbed the woman.

Police say bank cards belonging to Barone were found on the Casterlines when they were arrested.

(AP) — A 53-year-old Fairbury man whose wife was killed earlier this year in a crash has himself died in a single-vehicle crash just a couple of miles from his home.

Anthony DeBourge was driving a pickup westbound on Highway 8 Friday night when he went off the road and rolled. DeBourge, who was thrown from the truck, was flown to a Lincoln hospital, where he died.

In January, DeBourge’s wife, 54-year-old Suzan DeBourge, died when her vehicle slide on an icy U.S. Highway 136 in Gage County and was hit by a pickup, killing her.

(AP) — A young passenger in a Jeep that collided with a pickup just southwest of Omaha has died.

The Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office said the crash happened around 6:30 p.m. Friday when an eastbound pickup on Highway 370 and a Jeep traveling south on 180th Street collided at the intersection of the roads.

Investigators say both vehicles ended up in a ditch.

Officials say three juveniles were in the Jeep and were flown to an Omaha hospital. A passenger in the front seat of the Jeep died. The driver of the pickup was not injured.

Officials have not released the names of those involved or the conditions of the other two juveniles injured in the Jeep.
