(AP) — Actor Mickey Rooney will always be remembered fondly at Boys Town for his Oscar-winning role in the 1938 movie about the Nebraska home for troubled youth.

Rooney, who died Sunday at the age of 93, was named Mayor for Life at Boys Town in 2003.

Rooney won a special Oscar for his role in the movie “Boys Town.” He played Whitey Marsh who was taken in by the home for wayward boys.

Spencer Tracy won an Oscar for portraying the home’s real-life founder, Father Edward J. Flanagan, and the film immortalized the Nebraska home.

Boys Town noted Rooney’s passing on its Facebook page Monday, and the movie is celebrated in its Hall of History.

(AP) — Lincoln City Council members are considering a measure that would require training, testing and certification of anyone who checks public swimming pools for quality standards.

Last year the city had to close 133 pools during inspections because the water didn’t meet quality standards.

City inspectors think that people doing the testing often don’t do it correctly or don’t know what to do when a problem surfaces.

The City Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing Monday on the proposed changes in pool regulations.

The patrol says Korey McHenry was driving east when his pickup crossed the center line and hit the westbound big rig. The semitrailer driver was taken to hospital for treatment and soon was released.

The accident is being investigated.

The fire at Mary’s Books in north-central Omaha was reported just after 11 p.m. Sunday. The building once housed a drugstore. No injuries have been reported.

(AP) — A 42-year-old Omaha woman is facing charges in connection with a man’s death, but police aren’t saying much about what happened.

Omaha police say they arrested Colleen Cannon Saturday in connection with the death of 43-year-old Darryel Fields.

Police say Fields’ body was found Saturday morning inside a home in the 6100 block of Park Lane Drive in Omaha.

Investigators determined Fields’ death was a homicide, but they haven’t said how he died.

Cannon is suspected of criminal homicide and using a weapon to commit a felony. As of Sunday, Cannon hadn’t appeared in court or had a lawyer appointed.

(AP) — A northeast Nebraska town may stop providing hospital services this summer because the Tilden Community Hospital has been losing $60,000 a month.

Tilden may convert the town’s hospital to an outpatient clinic and close the emergency room.

So Tilden residents might have to drive 22 miles east to Norfolk when they need a hospital.

Tilden hospital administrator Lon Knievel says he recommended the change to the city council because he thinks it’s the best option. But Knievel says he didn’t make the recommendation lightly.

Tilden residents received a letter last week explaining the proposed change.

(AP) — An Omaha teenager critically hurt in a rollover crash last week has died of her injuries.

18-year-old Maranda Carey died Saturday. She was the driver of an SUV that rolled on March 29 along Interstate 680 in north Omaha.

Carey, who attended Benson High, was in a medically induced coma earlier this week after suffering fractures to her face, two broken arms, three broken ribs, a broken leg and a punctured lung.

Three other teens in the SUV also were hurt.

Carey’s best friend, a 17-year-old Omaha girl, was in fair condition earlier this week. A 19-year-old man and 16-year-old girl were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and have since been released.

(AP) — York College has announced plans to construct a $3.5 million performing arts center on its southeast Nebraska campus.

College officials tell the York News-Times (https://bit.ly/1jibk3T) that the school has already received $2.2 million in gifts and pledges to go toward the project.

Construction of the 12,000 sq. ft. facility is set to begin in the fall.

A 350-seat, 5,000 square-foot theater will be the centerpiece of the facility.

Officials say the performing arts center will be focused on the day-to-day needs of students involved in York College’s music and communication programs.

The project was kick-started late last year by a $2 million anonymous gift.
