BOYS TOWN, Neb. (AP) — Boys Town celebrated 100 years of caring for children this month.

The famous facility filled a time capsule with letters, artwork, commemorative objects, a yearbook and other items to mark the occasion. It is slated to be opened 100 years from now.

The facility was started in Omaha in 1917 by Father Edward Flanagan as an orphanage for troubled boys. It was made famous in the 1938 movie starring Spencer Tracey and Mickey Rooney.

Today, Boys Town is a national organization that operates sites around the country and serves girls and families as well as boys.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — A fifth-grader from Nebraska has won a national contest to design a poster reminding people to lock up household poisons.

The Nebraska Regional Poison Center says Daisy Villatoro won the contest’s middle division for third, fourth and fifth graders.

Villatoro is a student at Knickrehm Elementary in Grand Island, Nebraska.

Her artwork will be featured on the national poster for poison prevention week in March. Her poster encouraged people to “Bee Smart” and lock up household poisons where children can’t get them.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln officials are expected to approve city building code changes that would allow some residents to build tiny homes, guest houses and small studios on their property.

The City Council will vote on the proposal on Monday.

Areas that are zoned for duplexes and single-family homes would be allowed to add a small, one-bedroom addition of no more than 800 square feet (74 square meters).

Ann Post is an attorney for the Home Builders Association of Lincoln. She says builders have had more requests for smaller houses alongside a larger family home, often because families are now caring for elderly family members.

Local builder Dan Klein says allowing smaller homes on more lots will give more flexibility when meeting families’ needs.

HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) — The city of Hastings has sworn in its new chief of police.

Dozens of people turned out Wednesday to see Chief Adam Story take the oath of office.

Last month, the City Council voted unanimously to hire Story as police chief to replace Pete Kortum, who is retiring and plans to move to Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Story has been with the Hastings Police department for 22 years and was in the running for the top job five years ago when Kortum was hired.

Story says the last five years have given him the opportunity to grow and prepare to the position of police chief.
