Common type of rail car has dangerous design flaw
JASON KEYSER
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — For two
decades, one of the most commonly used type of rail tanker
has been allowed to haul hazardous liquids from coast to
coast even though transportation officials were aware of a
dangerous design flaw that
almost guarantees the car will
tear open in an accident,
potentially spilling cargo that
could catch fire, explode or
contaminate the environment.
The rail and chemical industries have committed to a safer
design for new tankers but are
pressing regulators not to require
modifications to tens of thousands of existing cars, despite a
spike in the number of accidents
as more tankers are put into
service to accommodate soaring
demand for ethanol, the highly
flammable corn-based fuel usually transported by rail.
Derailments have triggered
chemical spills and massive
blasts like one in July in
Columbus, Ohio, that blew up
with such intensity that one witness said it “looked like the sun
exploded.” Some communities
with busy railways are beginning to regard the tankers as a
serious threat to public safety.
“There’s a law of averages
that gives me great concern,”
said Jim Arie, fire chief in
Barrington, a wealthy Chicago
suburb where ethanol tankers
snake through a bustling
downtown. “Sometimes I don’t
sleep well at night.”
He’s not the only one. The
town’s mayor is trying to build
a national coalition to push for
safety reforms.
The tanker, known as the
DOT-111, is a workhorse of the
American rail fleet, with a sodacan shape that makes it one of
the most easily recognizable
cars on freight routes.
The tanker itself is not suspected of causing derailments,
but its steel shell is too thin to
resist puncture in accidents. The
ends are especially vulnerable to
tears from couplers that can rip
off between cars. Unloading
valves and other exposed fittings on the tops of tankers can
also break during rollovers.

LUE HILL — When
it came to fashion,
Caroline Thallman
was 10 going on 18.
That was the recollection of her aunt Janae Bauer of
Adams, one of
several speakers during
Caroline’s
funeral
Tuesday
morning at
the United
Methodist
Church here, Thallman
where her family attends
church. The 10-year-old girl
was one of four people killed
when a school bus and semitrailer truck collided a week ago
northeast of Cowles.
Five people, including
Caroline’s younger sister, Allie,
were injured in the crash.
Allie has since been released
from Mary Lanning Healthcare
in Hastings where she was
treated for injuries. She walked
between her parents, Mark and
Cheryl Thallman, as the family
entered the church sanctuary
for Tuesday’s service.
Hundreds of mourners filled
the sanctuary.

Thallman was one of the four victims of a bus-semi collision last week in Webster County.
TRIPOLI, Libya — The
American ambassador to
Libya and three other
Americans were killed when a
mob of protesters and gunmen overwhelmed the U.S.
Consulate in Benghazi, setting fire to it in outrage over
a film that ridicules Islam’s
Prophet Muhammad. Libya’s
new president apologized
Wednesday for the attack,
which underlined the lawlessness plaguing a region trying
to recover from months of
upheaval.
Ambassador Chris Stevens,
52, died as he and a group of
embassy employees went to
the consulate to try to evacuate
staff as a crowd of hundreds
attacked the consulate Tuesday
evening, many of them firing
machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades.
By the end of the assault,
much of the building was
burned out and trashed.
Stevens was the first U.S.
ambassador to be killed in the
line of duty since 1979.
A Libyan doctor who treated
Stevens said he died of severe
asphyxiation, apparently from
smoke.

Zamparelli, Howard
Hughes’ chief designer, dies
JOHN ROGERS
LOS ANGELES — Mario
Armond Zamparelli, an internationally renowned artist who
for nearly 20 years created the
distinctive, often colorful logos,
images and posters for reclusive
billionaire Howard Hughes’
many companies, has died at
age 91.
Zamparelli, who had homes
in the Los Angeles suburbs of
La Canada-Flintridge and San
Marino, died Saturday of heart
failure, his family said.
The artist, who worked in
numerous styles and forms,
was an illustrator for major
magazines and movie posters
in the early 1950s when
Hughes came looking for someone to design posters for his
RKO Pictures’ movies. He told
his aides to find posters done
by people they believed were
the best in the business.
“He pointed straight at my
dad’s poster and said, ‘Get me
that one,”’ the artist’s daughter
Gina Zamparelli said Monday.
What followed was an association between the artist and
the increasingly reclusive billionaire that continued until
Hughes’ death in 1976.
During that time, and for a
few years afterward, Zamparelli
created numerous logos, images
and designs for such companies
as TWA, Hughes Helicopters,
Hughes Aircraft, the Summa
Corporation and the Howard
Hughes Medical Institute.
Among the most instantly
recognizable were the bright
yellow, mini-skirted uniforms
he designed for the female
flight attendants Hughes
Airwest employed in the 1970s.
He also created that airline’s
signature nameplate, which
featured bright blue lettering
placed against a bright yellow
background on every plane.
As a painter, Zamparelli created the only portrait of Hughes
that the billionaire is believed
to have sat for. Gina Zamparelli
said Hughes gave her father just
two days to get it done, telling
him he would never sit still for
a portrait again.
“We still have some of the
sketches,” she said, adding they
contain the words “OK” and
“not OK” next to various parts
that Hughes did and didn’t like.
Although Hughes grew
increasingly reclusive over the
years, Zamparelli never spoke
ill of the billionaire.
“He was a gentleman, a real
professional, and he had a marvelous sense of humor,”
Zamparelli told the Los Angeles
Times in a 1981 interview.

HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY
On Sept. 12, 1942, during
World War II, a German U-boat
off West Africa torpedoed the
RMS Laconia, which was carrying Italian prisoners of war,
British soldiers and civilians.
The German crew, joined by
other U-boats, began rescue
operations. (On Sept. 16, the
rescue effort came to an abrupt
halt when the Germans were
attacked by a U.S. Army
bomber; some 1,600 people
died while more than 1,100
survived. As a result, U-boat
commanders were ordered to
no longer rescue civilian survivors of submarine attacks.)

Protesters destroy an American flag pulled down from the U.S. embassy in Cairo, Egypt,
Tuesday. Egyptian protesters, largely ultra conservative Islamists, climbed the walls of the

black flag with Islamic inscription, in protest of a film deemed offensive of Islam.
Attack: U.S. ambassador killed
Continued from page A1
In a sign of the chaos of during
the attack, Stevens was brought
alone by Libyans to the
Benghazi Medical Center with
no other Americans, and no
one at the facility knew who
he was, the doctor, Ziad Abu
Zeid, told The Associated Press.
Stevens was practically dead
when he arrived close to 1 a.m.
on Wednesday, but “we tried to
revive him for an hour and a
half but with no success,” Abu
Zeid said. The ambassador had
bleeding in his stomach
because of the asphyxiation
but no other injuries, he said.
President Barack Obama
ordered increased security to
protect American diplomatic
personnel around world. Hours
before the Benghazi attack,
Egyptians angry over the film
protested at the U.S. Embassy
in Cairo, climbing its walls and
tearing down an American flag,
which they replaced briefly
with a black, Islamist flag.
“I strongly condemn the outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi,”
Obama said, adding the four
Americans “exemplified
America’s commitment to freedom, justice, and partnership
with nations and people
around the globe.”
Libya’s interim president,
Mohammed el-Megarif, apologized to the United States for
the attack, which he described
as “cowardly.” Speaking to
reporters, he offered his condolences on the death of the four
Americans and vowed to bring
the culprits to justice and
maintain his country’s close
relations with the United
States.
The three Americans killed
with Stevens were security
guards, he said.
“We extend our apology to
America, the American people
and the whole world,” elMegarif said.
Rail: Tanker has dangerous flaw
The flaws were noted as far
back as a 1991 safety study.
An Associated Press analysis
of 20 years’ worth of federal
rail accident data found that
ethanol tankers have been
breached in at least 40 serious
accidents since 2000. In the
previous decade, there were
just two breaches.
The number of severe crashes
is small considering the total
mileage covered by the many
tankers in service. But the accident reports show at least two
people have been killed by
balls of flame, with dozens
more hurt. And the risk of
greater losses looms large.
The rail and chemical industries and tanker manufacturers
have acknowledged the design
flaws and voluntarily committed to safety changes for cars
built after October 2011 to
transport ethanol and crude
oil. The improvements include
thicker tank shells and shields
on the ends of tanks to prevent
punctures.
But under their proposal to
regulators, the 30,000 to
45,000 existing ethanol tankers
would remain unchanged,
including many cars that have
only recently begun their
decades-long service lives.
The National Transportation
Safety Board asked in March for
the higher standards to be
applied to all tankers, meaning
existing cars would have to be
retrofitted or phased out.
The industry’s proposal
“ignores the safety risks posed
by the current fleet,” the NTSB
said, adding that those cars
“can almost always be expected
to breach in derailments that
involve pileups or multiple car-
Ethanol tankers’ safety is questioned
For decades, the DOT-111 tanker has hauled hazardous
liquids across the U.S. despite flaws that almost guarantee it
will tear open in an accident. Though incidents have been
rare, The Associated Press notes a spike in accidents as
more tankers are put into service to accommodate soaring
ethanol demands.

So many people were there that about 10 rows
of folding chairs were added for the service
behind the pews and still dozens of people stood
in back.
“Miss Caroline,” as she was known in school,
had a fondness for zebra print anything and
everything. Her first 4-H project was a zebra
print skirt she entered at the Webster County
Fair when she was 8.
“Her job was to accessorize it, and accessorize
it she did,” Bauer remembered.
The judges told Caroline the skirt was overly
accessorized, to which she disagreed, of course,
Bauer said.
To memorialize Caroline, her fellow Blue Hill
students wore zebra-print clothing to school last
week following the Wednesday collision.
The Rev. Steve Marsh, pastor of the Blue Hill
United Methodist Church, who conducted the
service, said Caroline’s family wanted the service
to be a celebration of her life.
So, rather than black, he wore a gray suit and
brightly colored shirt and tie.
“She would say, ‘I hope you’re styling for my
service, Rev. Marsh,’ ” he said.
Caroline relished public speaking opportunities and had in fact been scheduled to give a
Bible reading during the church’s service last
Sunday.
Of the four members of her family, Caroline
was the most boisterous, especially at home,
Marsh said. Mark and Cheryl told him they worried the family’s home would now be too quiet
and they along with Allie would greatly miss
that joyful, playful presence.
Addressing Allie, Marsh told her the entire
community is glad she wasn’t injured any worse.
He also told her God will give her the courage
and playfulness to be a little louder, a little more
outgoing. If her father tells her to quiet down
when she is being a little too noisy, that is a sign
of Caroline’s spiritual presence still with her.
Caroline excelled in school. Marsh heard she
was about three grades ahead in math and close
to that level in English.
“She always followed the rules at school, if not
always at home,” he said.
She was elected to the Blue Hill Elementary
School’s Character Council last year as a fourthgrader. As part of the council, Caroline helped
with service projects and focused on eradicating

“I found the people here to

Edith said.
The flowers on the walls in
her Kensington room are painted from memory. Other paintings, like that of a B-17 Flying
Fortress, are painted from models or pictures.
She painted the B-17 because
it helped end the war by
enabling the Allies to heavily
bomb Germany.
“It destroyed the enemy,”
she said.
Brookhart still remembers
the day when the streets of
Paris filled to celebrate the end
of the war.
“People were celebrating,”
Brookhart said. “Oh, you better

While she began painting at
the age of 16 and attended art
school in Paris, her move
across the Atlantic didn’t stop
her from pursuing her art.
It has always been a big part
of her life. She has kept her
skills sharp over the years, even
selling some paintings.
She went back to Paris once
in the 1970s and said she misses her native city because it is
so beautiful. She has remained
active in art clubs in Hastings

Caroline liked to make good impressions,
Marsh said, from her hair to her outfits to her perfumes. She loved to shop, and she loved to plan.
She planned the family trip to New York City
in early August, during which she talked her
father into buying her a reddish-orange top in a
Juicy Couture store.
“Caroline always tried to be on the cutting edge
of the latest trends and fashions,” Marsh said.
Appearing on television was a goal for her. In
fact, she had a sign planned out for Times
Square where the family could hopefully appear
during a broadcast of “Good Morning America,”
but that didn’t work in the family’s schedule.
Besides fashion, Caroline liked dancing.
Her aunt said she liked the “Just Dance” Wii
video game.
Dance permeated her funeral service. Before
the service began, amid family photos of
Caroline playing with friends and helping in the
kitchen, was a video from one of Caroline’s
dance recitals of a performance called “Sweet
Dream.”
Among the songs the hundreds of mourners
who filled the sanctuary sang or heard Tuesday
were “Lord of the Dance” and “I Hope You Dance.”
On the front page of one of the two funeral
programs, below a photo of Caroline, was a
quote: “Dance like no one is watching; sing like
no one is listening; live each day as if it were
your last.”
She had just recently signed up for her second
year of dance classes at T’Dance School of
Performing Arts in Hastings, where she took a
hip hop class last year.
In a Monday afternoon interview with the
Tribune, T’Dance owner Teresa Miller said
Caroline was always happy, attentive and eager
to learn more in her hip hop class with instructor Cassie McLeod. Miller talked with Caroline
about the family’s trip to New York City recently
when she signed up for classes this fall.
Allie had signed up for classes for the first time
this fall, also.
The girls were to begin their classes on the day
of the crash.
“Although she was a quiet girl, she had a lot of
spunk to her and could be sassy in her dancing,”
Miller said. “When they do that, you just know
they love what they’re doing. You could tell by
the look on her face that she loved to dance.”

Scottsbluff Star Herald
Travelers who visit the northern Panhandle to
experience the beauty of the Pine Ridge will find
abundant evidence of three recent fires and temporary limitations on where they can go.
Areas of the Nebraska National Forests and
Grasslands that were scorched by wildfire over the
past week have been closed by the U.S. Forest
Service. Chadron State Park has reopened, but also
was scorched by backfires set deliberately to protect its $7.5 million in buildings and recreational
facilities. The Hudson-Meng Bison Kill Research
and Visitor Center also has reopened.
The forest closures, which will allow assessment
of damages and protect the public’s natural
resources, will be lifted in stages. For more information, contact the Pine Ridge Ranger District of
the Nebraska National Forests and Grasslands at
308-432-0300.
Dave Kinnamon, Chadron State Park superintendent, said the backfire strategy spared
Nebraska’s oldest state park. Many of the trees
were damaged, and air quality could be a problem
if winds kick up ash. Workers are cleaning the cabins, which should be ready for rent next week.
Kirk Nelson, west regional parks manager for
Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, told the
Omaha World-Herald that the wildfire itself
reached the park’s western edge, “roaring alongside” but not damaging the swimming pool, stables and a shelter.
“It was like the fire drew a line,” Nelson said.
“The smoke and flames were so close, it just scared
the bejesus out of everybody. We feel very fortunate. From what we can gather, we couldn’t have
stopped the wildfire from ruining the park.”
The wildfire was much hotter and more erratic
than the controlled burn, he said, and would have
caused far more damage. The backfire effort helped
to remove fuels in the path of the West Ash Creek
fire, which was blazing a two-mile-wide path
toward Chadron, about nine miles north of the
park.
Like ranches and forests in the area, the park
faces a long recovery period. The entire park —
particularly the grass and other ground vegetation
— was blackened by the controlled burn. Trees,
already stressed by drought, suffered further stress
from the fire. Rain and snow will be crucial to
stemming the loss of the park’s majestic ponderosa
pines, Nelson said.
The Nebraska Emergency Management Agency
has warned that hazards remain in the area from
downed power lines and fire-weakened trees.
Rainfall would be welcome, and would decrease
the risk of more wildfires caused by dry lightning.
But the next round of heavy rains will bring new
concerns about unchecked runoff. The lack of vegetation to soak up moisture means roads, bridges
and structures within the floodplain could be
damaged.
In addition to property loss and destruction of
valuable hay and pastureland, the fires dealt a
blow to the Pine Ridge tourism industry — another costly effect of the nation’s extended drought,
and the world’s changing climate.
When does ‘happily ever after’ really begin?
H
ave you ever looked at your life
and thought, “This is not how I
imagined it would be”?
I found myself thinking that this
weekend. Actually, I often find
myself thinking that, but this time it was a
revelation.
Saturday morning, I bent over a mat in my
sister-in-law’s living room and tried, I swear,
not to snicker watching my husband and my
brother-in-law force their bodies into a pose
aptly called “downward dog.”
Picture the Blues Brothers, minus overcoats,
doing yoga.
For the record, I wasn’t so good at it myself.
I’ve done a little yoga in the past, but not in
this millennium. Limbs once limber as
saplings threatened to snap like rubber bands.
Lynne, God bless her. My sister-in-law is the
best person in the world. Seriously. You might
know some good people (I hope you do), but
they don’t have a prayer of being half as good
as Lynne, especially when it comes to good
intentions.
I do wonder on occasion exactly what she
was thinking. But I never doubt that her heart
is in the right place — an odd place, maybe,
but definitely good.
The yoga class was her idea, a surprise for
when my husband and I stayed at her house
over the weekend. She meant to tell us, but
forgot until the yoga instructor rang the doorbell.
That’s OK. I forget things,
too. Like: Why exactly were
we there? Wait, I remember.
Birthdays.
A day earlier, on Friday,
my husband and I met my
daughter and her husband
and their 1-year-old, Henry,
at the San Francisco Zoo to
Sharon
celebrate Henry’s birthday.
Randall
We saw lions and tigers and
gorillas and an ark load of
other wonders. We even stared down the
throat of a hippopotamus that opened its
mouth like an airplane hangar to catch buckets of vegetables.
Henry’s favorite thing? A rubber snake from
the gift shop. My favorite thing? Henry, of
course. And seeing his family — those of us
who could be there — take such delight in him.
On Saturday, after yoga with the Blues
Brothers, my husband and I drove to Sonoma
to attend a birthday party for Charlotte, his
granddaughter, who is one day older than
Henry.
Charlotte wore a tutu. There were cupcakes
and presents and a room knee deep with balloons. Her mom made the cupcakes. Her dad
blew up the balloons.
Charlotte’s favorite thing? A tent with a
tunnel. My favorite thing? Charlotte, of
course. And seeing her family — those of us
who could be there — take such delight in
her.
Sunday, we flew home to Las Vegas, tired,
but happy, and unbelievably sore (a little yoga
goes a long way).
Driving out of the airport, I started thinking
about my life, how different it is from what I
once thought it would be.
In my 20s, I got married, had three babies,
bought a house near the ocean and thought:
“This is it — my ‘happily ever after.’ “
I didn’t plan to be a widow. To start my life
over. To open my arms and my eyes, my
heart, mind and soul to a new way of thinking and loving and being.
But sometimes life has a different plan from
the plans we make for ourselves.
The older I get, the less I know, but of this
much I am sure: We are here to love while we
can; let go when we must; and be willing to
love again.
It might not be the life we planned. But it
could be the life we were meant to live.
Who knows? Maybe, if we’re lucky, we’ll
get little boys who like snakes and little girls
who wear tutus and the world’s best person
for a sister-in-law.
I think happiness is where you find it.
Don’t look for it in the past. It isn’t there.
Don’t wait for it in the future. It won’t come.
It can only be found in this moment, what
you make of it. “Happily ever after” starts
now.

ampaign 2012 has become a rare
contest — a referendum on the
challenger. Our smart screens are
beaming loads of dumb stuff at us
these days, as pols, pollsters and
pundits micro-think the meaning of those
essentially meaningless initial post-convention public opinion surveys.
Never mind that we all know the bounces
and blips in those initial numbers usually last
about as long as an out-of-shape pundit can
pedal a news cycle.
Missed in all of this is the real significance
of this post-convention period: 2012 has morphed into a most unconventional election. It
will require a rethinking of the conventional
wisdom that says U.S. presidential elections
are mainly a referendum on the incumbent’s
performance as a leader.
The 2012 presidential race has become a
flip-side presidential campaign — a referendum not so much on the incumbent but on
the challenger.
Voters from the political left, center and
right have basically concluded that President
Barack Obama has not been as bold and
strong a leader as they expected him to be —
especially when it came to leading the nation
to recover from the catastrophic Great
Recession that began in the last year of
George W. Bush’s presidency.
Indeed, even Obama himself has said in
recent interviews that he came into office not
realizing how much there was to the job —
that he thought it was mainly about just getting the policies right. Obama has said he fell
short by failing to realize he needed to educate Americans as to what needed to be done
and why.
So it is that independent voters have been
trying to take the measure of
former Massachusetts Gov.
Mitt Romney. But in the
Republican primaries and
ever since, Romney too
often presented himself as a
candidate who will say
whatever is needed — on
domestic, global and social
Martin
policies — to appeal to any
constituency du jour. So far,
Schram
he has failed to demonstrate
he can be bold enough and
strong enough to be a better president than
Obama.
That’s where the Democratic and
Republican candidates were going into their
conventions. And that is where they still are
today. Romney and Obama did well at their
conventions, but failed to do all they needed
to do and could have done to help themselves.
Romney’s convention speech seemed to
have been teed up by keynoter Chris Christie,
as the New Jersey governor extolled at length
that Republicans would be the party that tells
voters the tough truths. But then Romney
told no tough truths at all. No patriotic calls
for us to share the burden to make America
economically strong again. Nor did Romney
even mention the war in Afghanistan or the
sacrifices of our troops — omissions that
would have been unthinkable for a generation of Republicans, even in America’s most
war-weary times.
Obama’s convention speech similarly
seemed to have been teed up by former
President Bill Clinton’s magnificent defense of
what Obama accomplished in halting and
reversing the massive monthly job losses he
inherited — resulting in 30 consecutive
months of private-sector job gains. Also, companies have rebounded strongly under
Obama, having earned huge profits.
Yet companies are banking their profits, not
investing them back into the economy by
purchasing capital goods or hiring more
employees. Industry executives lack confidence the government will make tough choices to halt the spiraling national debt.
Obama could have seized the moment by
unveiling a bold new path forward, in the tradition of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “New Deal”
and John F. Kennedy’s “New Frontier.”
Perhaps a call for a “New Democracy” — with
the president urging Americans to lead their
leaders by demanding that Congress finally
make the tough compromises to enact real
reforms. Instead, Obama was typically inspirational but not bold.
Because this election has become a referendum on challenger Romney — more specifically, a referendum on a potential for leadership Romney hasn’t yet demonstrated —
Obama may narrowly win re-election.
But it is instructive to recall the events of
1980, a time of economic strife when many
disillusioned Americans were also very unsure
about the challenger, former California Gov.
Ronald Reagan. At their convention, even
Reagan’s top strategists were so concerned
Americans lacked confidence in their nominee that they brokered a bizarre power-sharing deal to convince former President Gerald
Ford to run as Reagan’s vice president. It
almost happened, then fell apart. But then
Reagan performed well enough in the debates
— and defeated President Jimmy Carter in a
landslide.

Driver in crash didn’t hear warnings
CB RADIO IN SEMI
NOT WORKING
SIDNEY — A truck driver
charged with manslaughter in a
chain-reaction accident that killed
five people in western Nebraska
told investigators he never heard
the warnings about stopped traffic
because his CB radio wasn’t on,
court documents say.
Witnesses told investigators
Josef Slezak’s semitrailer didn’t
appear to slow down before it collided with a Ford Mustang that
had stopped because of an earlier
wreck on Interstate 80 about 40
miles from the Wyoming border.
Both accidents happened between
4 a.m. and 5 a.m. Sunday. One
person died in the first accident,
and four people died in the second accident.
The first crash caused traffic to
back up on the interstate, and
other truck drivers told investigators there was constant chatter
about the accident on the citizens band radio as drivers
warned each other to slow down.
According to court documents,
Slezak told investigators that he
never listens to the CB and that
he didn’t see anything before
hearing a crash.
Investigators needed an inter-
preter to interview Slezak in detail
because he said he was from “the
former Czechoslovakia Republic,”
according to court documents.
Slezak declined to answer many
questions after an interpreter was
found.
Slezak, 36, of River Grove, Ill.,
was charged Monday with four
counts of manslaughter and four
counts of motor vehicle homicide.
He remained jailed Tuesday in lieu
of $1 million bond.
Slezak’s attorney, who has asked
a judge to consider lowering the
bond, did not immediately
respond to a message Tuesday.
Authorities closed I-80 for more
than 14 hours after the crashes.

MAN DENIES SEX ASSAULT
A 23-year-old Hastings man Monday denied
an accusation of sexually assaulting a 13-yearold girl on July 30.
Cory Allsman of 608 S. Colorado Ave. pleaded
not guilty in Adams County
District Court to one charge of
first-degree sexual assault of a
child, a Class 2 felony punishable by up to 50 years in prison.
Adams County District
Judge Terri Harder scheduled a
pre-trial hearing in the case
for Oct. 22 at 9:30 a.m.
During the preliminary
Allsman
hearing on Aug. 20, Adams
County Sheriff’s deputy Mike
Poplau testified that the alleged victim said she
had sex with Allsman in the back of a van at
the 3000 block of Southern Hills Drive.
Poplau testified he asked Allsman about the
sexual assault charge and Allsman admitted to
having sex with the girl, but said he didn’t
know her age at the time.
In Nebraska, anyone under the age of 16
cannot legally consent to sex.
DRUG CHARGE DENIED
A 19-year-old Hastings man Monday claimed
to be innocent of selling cocaine on two occasions in January.
Aaron M. Sullivan of 1139 W. Sixth St. pleaded not guilty to two counts of distributing
cocaine in Adams County
District Court.
Adams County District
Judge Terri Harder scheduled a
pre-trial hearing in the case
for Oct. 22 at 9:30 a.m.
According to court records,
Sullivan sold cocaine to a confidential informant on Jan. 11
and Jan. 13. Both transactions
were monitored by law

Distribution of a controlled substance
(cocaine) is a Class 2 felony punishable by up
to 50 years in prison.

WOMAN FOUND INCOMPETENT
SIDNEY — A 41-year-old woman charged
with assaulting a Sidney police officer in western Nebraska has been found incompetent to
stand trial.
A Cheyenne County judge on Tuesday
adopted the conclusion of a state psychologist
that Tammy Stansbury is incompetent to stand
trial. However, the judge noted that Stansbury
could become competent to stand trial soon. A
review hearing is scheduled for Dec. 11.
Stansbury was arrested in May after two
Sidney officers were dispatched to the U.S.
Recycling plant to deal with a woman who had
been asked to leave.
The officers say that during their attempts to
talk to and then arrest Stansbury, she kicked
one officer in the midsection, spit on him and
bit him and threatened his family.
SHOOTING VICTIM FOUND
OMAHA — Police say Omaha’s latest shooting victim was found by officers in a church
parking lot.
Officers were called to the north Omaha area
around 3:15 a.m. Wednesday on a report of
shots being fired.
There, police found a 17-year-old victim with
several gunshot wounds lying in a church parking lot. The teen, whose name has not been
released, was taken to the Nebraska Medical
Center in critical condition.
In the first crash, 27-year-old
Keith Johnson, of Big Lake, Minn.,
died after his semi hit a stalled
truck.
Prosecutors say the force of
Slezak’s truck hitting the stopped
Mustang pushed it into a Toyota
Corolla. The Toyota was shoved
under a semi that was ahead of it.
The Ford’s driver and an adult
and two juveniles in the Corolla
all died. Authorities haven’t identified those victims, but court documents say both those cars were
owned by the same couple.
An accident reconstructionist
who examined the scene concluded Slezak failed to slow down and
exercise caution on the road.

MELODY ROUND-UP
COINCIDES WITH 130TH
ANNIVERSARY OF HC

undreds of Hastings
College alumni will
join thousands of
spectators expected to
line the streets of
Hastings for the 61st Annual
Melody Round-Up Parade at 10
a.m. Saturday in Hastings.
Hastings High School and
Hastings St. Cecilia are among the
12 bands slated to participate in the
musical parade, which begins at
the corner of Fourth Street and
Colorado Avenue, proceeds west to
Hastings Avenue, turns onto Second
Street, and concludes at the intersection of Second and Colorado.
Other participating Tribland
high school bands are Blue Hill,
Deshler, Doniphan-Trumbull, Red
Cloud and Sandy Creek. Hastings
College will be performing as well.
This year’s parade was pushed
up a few weeks to coincide with
Thursday’s celebration of HC’s
130th anniversary and the inauguration of its 15th president,
Dennis Trotter, which will take
place Friday.
An estimated 3,500 people
turned out for last year’s parade,
with at least as many expected this
time around.
“I think this has become something the community always looks
forward to,” said Robin Koozer,
chair of HC’s music department.
“It’s a way for the Hastings College
community to engage the community and show we’re good citizens
and members of the community
as well.”
Sharing the spotlight in this
year’s parade are the HC
Homecoming king, queen and
runners-up, along with numerous
antique vehicles, local Cub Scout
and Girl Scout troops, and local
dignitaries. Following the parade,
spectators can enjoy free root beer
floats served at the “Floats after
the Floats” booth while supplies
last in front of the Dutton-Lainson
Plaza at the corner of Second
Street and St. Joseph Avenue.
Winners of the parade’s
Outstanding Band (by division,
based on school enrollment),
Outstanding Auxiliary, and
Outstanding Drum Major will be
awarded at 11:30 a.m. by representatives from HC’s Department of
Music in the plaza.
Originally a city/college cooperative event, Melody Round-Up is
still supported by the city through
its Business Improvement District
and corporate sponsors. Koozer
said the parade is one of the more
anticipated events on HC’s calendar each year.
“It is one of the events I would
say is rich in tradition because it is
associated with Homecoming,” he
said. “All of our alums have memories from the days when they
were involved with the parade.”
LINCOLN — Nebraska is
on pace for a 20 percent
increase in the number of
ignition interlock devices
issued in DUI cases, thanks to
a new state law that requires
the sensors for most people
convicted of drunken driving.
The law also has reduced
the number of so-called
administrative license revocation hearings by 90 percent.
Supporters of the law say
those hearings dragged out
cases for a year or more.
“It is just really incredible,”
said Beverly Neth, head of the
Nebraska Department of
Motor Vehicles.
The new law was spearheaded by legislative Speaker Mike
Flood, of Norfolk. It forces
most people convicted of firstand second-offense DUIs to
have interlock devices
installed. Drivers must exhale
into the devices before the
vehicles can be started. If a preset level of alcohol is detected,
the vehicle will not start.
The cost varies, but one
Lincoln company says it
charges $49 to install a
device, $69.95 a month to use
— the first month is free —
and $75 to uninstall.
“I am cautiously optimistic
that we can see an even
greater percentage of ignition
interlock usage,” Neth said.
“We are closely monitoring
this program to ensure compliance and to identify areas
that might be improved to
increase usage.”

Edgar community center project moving forward
TONY HERRMAN
therrman@hastingstribune.com
EDGAR — Two weeks after splitting with the local American
Legion post on a proposed community center project, city officials like
the proposed smaller building.
Members of the Edgar City
Council discussed the community
center during their regular meeting
Tuesday. Mayor Brad Brennfoerder
said this morning the council’s discussion Tuesday went “really
good,” and the project design is
just a couple small details away
from completion.
Those details include increasing
the size of the kitchen and adding
a smaller meeting room from what
architect Bruce Bailey of Lincoln
architecture firm Design Associates
presented Tuesday.
A bond issue to pay for a community center passed during the
May 15 primary election, 115-49 —
70.1 to 29.9 percent.
Edgar voters rejected a similar
proposal in November 2010 by a
margin of 91-85, or 51.7 percent to
48.3 percent, even though the debt
payments would be covered not by
tax dollars, but by interest from the
Mike Sugden endowment bequest.
Sugden left $1 million to the city
upon his death more than two
decades ago. The money was
invested early on, and the interest
it generates has been used to
finance various community
improvements in the intervening
years.
Unlike the 2010 project, which
was more of a recreation center, the
building now will have a full
kitchen, instead of a partial
kitchen, and also would include
the Edgar city office.
Because of the increased facilities
in the proposed project, the cost
cap has increased, as well, from
$400,000 in 2010 to $700,000 now.
The project still will include
amenities proposed with the 2010
project: Basketball court with
bleacher seating for 216 people,
plus a concessions area, rest rooms
and storage.
The estimate for the project proposed Tuesday, Brennfoerder said,
is around $600,000.
The Edgar American Legion had
been working with the city on the
project and pledged $80,000
toward construction costs. In late
August, members of the local post
decided it would be in the best
interest of both parties to each pursue their own new buildings.
At $600,000, the design proposed
Tuesday is close to the needed cost
estimate.
Even though the city has up to
$700,000 to complete the project,
Brennfoerder previously said the
building estimate must be less than
that amount to allow for work on
the property surrounding the community center.
The current design is around
10,000 square feet, Brennfoerder

Associates’ proposed plans for the Edgar City Hall and Community
Center.
said, which is down from around
13,000 square feet when the
American Legion was involved.
The building will include a full
junior high court. Brennfoerder
said when bidding begins the city
will receive cost estimates for a
wooden floor as well as a concrete
floor for the basketball court.
A wooden floor would cost
$15,000-$20,000 more than a concrete floor.
The next step, he said, will be to
get the design changes finalized,
hopefully within the next month,
so council members can approve it
by their Oct. 9 meeting and begin
the bidding process.
He said the hope is still to break
ground on the project in 2012.
Brennfoerder is encouraged by
what he’s seen so far.
“It was a nice-looking building
last night that he proposed, a very
user-friendly building,” he said.
Todd Wilson, commander of
Edgar’s Sons of the American
Legion Squadron No. 248, said
Legion members had a subcommittee meeting Tuesday night to finalize their building design. The
organization will send that design
to manufacturers today for project
quotes, and members will reconvene in October to review those
quotes and select a manufacturer.
The current American Legion
building is more than 60 years old
and needs to be replaced, he said.
All of the members present
Tuesday were supportive of the
decision not to go in with the city,
he said.

Supervisors scheduled the
auction of the former
Fillmore County Hospital for
1 p.m. Oct. 17.
The old hospital building at
1325 H St., constructed in

FREMONT — They look like
something out of Sesame Street
or Mister Roger’s Neighborhood,
but these tiny buildings aren’t
for Muppets or puppets, they’re
for people.
It’s a movement that’s sweeping the world, making even the
biggest, burliest men stop and
say, “Awww . how cute!” They’re
called Little Free Libraries, and
Fremont is soon to have one of
its own.
“It’s a pay it forward program
so you can take a book and read
it. If you like it, you can keep it
and bring back a different book,”
Julie Eckert, vice president of
Fremont Altrusa said.
Fremont Altrusa is a local nonprofit organization with a mission to support and encourage
women, youth and children,
promote literacy and embrace
community service.
The organization will be funding the Little Free Library, and
placing it in front of Pinnacle
Bank at 99 West Sixth Street at
10 a.m. Saturday. The organization will hold a short installation
ceremony with refreshments
available. Community members
are encouraged to attend.
Eckert got the idea after seeing
a news story on television.
She also saw it as a great
opportunity to use memorial
funds donated to Altrusa in
honor of her mother, who died
last year.
“When I saw that story, I
thought ‘That’s it. That’s what I
should do with the money,”’ she
said. “My mom loved to read.
She read the dictionary as a kid
for fun!
There are almost 3,000 Little
Free Libraries in more than 10
countries around the world —
including Pakistan, Italy,
Saskatchewan and Ghana.
LINCOLN — Top administrators from the
University of Nebraska Medical Center are expected to brief the university’s Board of Regents this
week about the impact that the federal health care
law would have on their facilities.
Bradley Britigan, the dean of the College of
Medicine, and other administrators will focus
Friday on the proposed Medicaid expansion and
how it would affect the medical center, which is
the state’s largest health care facility.
“Obviously, Medicaid patients come through the
hospital,” and the number would likely increase if
the program were expanded, said medical center
spokesman Tom O’Connor.
A university report released in August concluded
that the law would attract $2.9 billion to $3.5 billion in revenue from the federal government by
2020, and reduce so-called charity care at Nebraska
hospitals by $650 million over a five-year period.
Uncompensated costs without the expansion are
expected to top $1 billion.
The report is based on a study conducted by Jim
Stimpson, director of the Center for Health Policy
and an associate professor in the College of Public
Health.
Stimpson, who will also speak to the regents, has
said the decision about whether to expand
Medicaid will have a “huge impact” on Nebraska.
States that choose to expand their Medicaid programs would see 100 percent of their new costs
covered by the federal government between 2014
and 2016. The amount would decrease to 90 percent by 2020.
The analysis follows an earlier report by the university’s Center for Health Policy, which found that
the number of uninsured Nebraska residents
topped 271,100 in 2010 — a 67 percent increase
since 2000. Rates of uninsured were particularly
high in the so-called “rural-frontier counties” of
western and central Nebraska, regions with larger
immigrant populations and fewer companies that
can afford to subsidize employee health insurance.
The health care law has drawn strong opposition
from Republicans. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld
the law in June, but ruled that federal government
cannot penalize states that choose not to expand
Medicaid coverage.
Expanding Medicaid coverage in Nebraska would
attract between 90,021 and 108,025 new enrollees
through 2020, according to the report. Between
2014 and 2020, the expansion would cost
Nebraska taxpayers between $140 million and
$168 million.
Republican Gov. Dave Heineman has said he
opposes any move to expand Medicaid in the state.
Interlock: Nebraska ups use of devices in DUI cases
Flood said the new law
means roads are safer.
He originally called for scrapping the administrative license
revocation system, which
Nebraska has used since 1992.
Under it, police confiscate the
driver’s license of anyone
arrested for DUI and issue a 30day temporary license to be
used until a license revocation
hearing can be held.
People who think they’ve
been wrongly accused can ask
for a hearing, at which arresting officers testify and hearing
officers evaluate evidence and
recommend whether revocations should go into effect or
be dismissed. Most of the hearings result in 90-day license
suspensions.
But Flood and others say that
after an administrative license
revocation hearing is held,
pending court cases often go
on for a year or longer, or are
plea-bargained.
Flood said interlock devices
are better than the old system,
which essentially forced a lot of
people to drive on suspended

Trade deficit widens a bit
U.S. OIL IMPORTS
DROP, BUT SO DO
EXPORTS TO SEVERAL
KEY NATIONS
MARTIN CRUTSINGER
WASHINGTON — The U.S.
trade deficit grew to $42 billion
in July, widened by fewer
exports to Europe, India and
Brazil that offset a steep decline in oil imports.
The Commerce Department
said Tuesday that the trade
deficit increased 0.2 percent
from June’s deficit of $41.9 billion.
U.S. exports fell 1 percent
to $183.3 billion. Sales of
autos, telecommunications
equipment and heavy
machinery all declined.
Imports dropped 0.8 percent
to $225.3 billion.
Economists note that the
deficit would have grown
much faster had it not been for
a 6.5 percent drop in oil
imports, largely reflecting
cheaper global prices. Prices
have increased since then,
while demand for exports has
dampened.
“It won’t be long before the
deficit widens more significantly as the global slowdown takes
a greater toll on U.S. exports,”
said Paul Dales, senior U.S.
economist at Capital
Economics. Dales said trade
will likely weigh on growth in
the second half of the year.
A wider trade deficit acts as
a drag on growth because the
U.S. is typically spending more
on imports while taking in less
from the sales of Americanmade goods. U.S. growth
slowed to a 1.7 percent annual
rate in the April-June quarter,
well below what is needed to
accelerate a slackening job
market.
Growth has also weakened
around the globe, which has
hurt sales of U.S. goods overseas.
Exports to Europe fell 11.7
percent in July from June.
Many European countries are
recession, which has cut
demand for American-made
goods. The region accounts
for about one-fifth of U.S.
exports.
Exports also fell in other big
emerging economies. U.S. sales
of goods to Brazil declined 4.4
percent. Exports to India
dropped 1.2 percent.
The U.S. exported 0.4 percent more goods to China, the
world’s second largest economy. But the deficit with China
grew 7.2 percent in July to a
record $29.4 billion. U.S.
imports from China jumped
5.6 percent.
China’s economy has weakened this year and may be
worsening. On Monday, China
reported that its imports from
the rest of the world shrank in
August.
In July, exports of American
farm goods rose to all-time
high. There were also gains in
exports of commercial aircraft
and electric generators. The
gains were offset by declines in
overseas sales of autos and auto
parts and heavy machinery.
Further declines in exports
could weigh on manufacturing
and slow the ailing job market.
American employers added
just 96,000 jobs last month,
down from an increase of
141,000 jobs in July and well
below the average 226,000 jobs
a month created from January
through March.
Manufacturing, which has
been one of the few bright
spots in this recovery, lost
15,000 jobs in August.
While the overall unemployment rate fell to 8.1 percent from 8.3 percent in
July, the improvement came
only because many people
gave up looking for work
and therefore were not
counted in the government’s

economy at their meeting this
week.

AIG SHARE SALES
WASHINGTON — The
Treasury Department says it has
received an additional $2.7 billion from the sale of American
International Group stock. The
sale comes one day after the
government reported a profit
on its four-year investment in
the bailed-out financial firm.
Treasury says the banks
underwriting the sale have exercised their option to buy 83.1
million additional AIG shares at
$32.50. Together with Monday’s
$18 billion in stock sales,
Treasury says the government
has recovered a total $197.4 billion from the company. That’s
all of its original investment of
$182.3 billion plus a return of
$15.1 billion to taxpayers.
man Debbie Stabenow is
opposing House proposals to
extend the current farm policy
act and urging House
Republican leaders to take up
legislation to enact a new bill.
The Michigan Democrat said
a House-Senate compromise on
a new five-year farm bill is with-
in reach if only the House acts
on legislation approved by the
House Agriculture Committee.
She said the two sides could
settle differences in October
and pass a bill in November.
The current farm bill expires
at the end of September but
many of its programs, includ-
ing the food stamp program
which helps feed some 46 million Americans, would continue after that date.
House Republicans, concerned about a tough fight over
food stamp spending, have
proposed extending the existing bill for a year.

BRIBERY PLEA
IOWA CITY, Iowa — A
federal prosecutor says a manager at the Iowa egg farms
linked to a 2010 nationwide
salmonella outbreak will
plead guilty to trying to bribe

NEW YORK — The U.S.
government’s debt rating
could be heading for the “fiscal cliff” along with the federal budget.
Moody’s Investors Service
on Tuesday said it would likely cut its “Aaa” rating on U.S.
government debt, probably
by one notch, if budget negotiations fail.
If Congress and the White
House don’t reach a budget
deal, about $1.2 trillion in
spending cuts and tax increases will automatically kick in
starting Jan. 2, a scenario
that’s been dubbed the “fiscal
cliff,” because it is likely to
send the economy back into
recession and drive up unemployment.
A year ago, Moody’s cut its
outlook on U.S. debt to “negative,” which acts as a warning that it might downgrade
the rating, after partisan
wrangling over raising the
U.S. debt limit led the nation
to the brink of default.
Rival agency Standard &
Poor’s took the drastic step of
stripping the government of
its “AAA” rating on its bonds
on Aug. 5, 2011. Fitch Ratings
issued a warning of a potential downgrade.
In its report Tuesday,
Moody’s said it is difficult to
predict when Congress will
reach a deal on the budget,
and it will likely keep its current rating and “negative”
outlook until the outcome of
the talks is clear.
In Washington, Moody’s
action didn’t spur the politicians responsible for making a
deal to sit down at the table.
House Speaker John
Boehner, an Ohio
Republican, said he’s not confident that Congress can
reach a deal and avoid a
downgrade. No serious negotiations are expected until
after the November elections.
Boehner’s Democratic
counterpart in the Senate,
Majority Leader Harry Reid,
was far more hopeful that
“some kind of agreement”
would be reached after the
elections. Reid suggested that
the results of the election will
weaken the GOP’s resolve to
block tax increases on wealthier earners and that
Republicans will be more willing to compromise.
Moody’s also noted that
the government will likely
again reach the debt limit by
the end of the year, which
means another round of
negotiations in Congress on
raising the limit if the U.S. is
to keep paying its bills.
“Under these circumstances, the government’s
rating would likely be
placed under review after
the debt limit is reached,
but several weeks before the
exhaustion of the Treasury’s
resources,” Moody’s analyst
Steven A. Hess said in his
report.
Despite the rating cut last
year from S&P and the
warnings from Moody’s and
Fitch, the U.S. has been able
to continue borrowing at
very low rates. That’s
because investors are still
buying U.S. government
bonds, as economic turmoil
in Europe and uncertainty
in other parts of the globe
have left U.S. debt and U.S.
dollars looking like safe bets.
In contrast, bond investors
demand high rates from
troubled countries like Spain
and Italy.
The stock markets plunged
when the downgrade
occurred in August 2011. The
Dow Jones industrial average
lost 634 points on the first
trading day after S&P’s
announcement. But Moody’s
warning on Tuesday did little
to ruffle traders. The Dow
average rose 69 points to
close at 13,323.
Rep. Barney Frank of
Massachusetts, the top
Democrat on the House
Financial Services Committee,
called the Moody’s action
“nonsense.”
There’s no risk of the U.S.
defaulting on its debt obligations, Frank said in a telephone interview. He noted
that S&P’s downgrade last
year didn’t result in higher
interest rates for the government.

St. Cecilia sweeps Bobcats
NICK BLASNITZ
miscommunication, Blue Hill coach Kristi
Allen said her team made mistakes she
had never seen before, even in practice.
But with the week the community has
had, with four people dying in a school
bus-semitrailer crash last week about 10
miles southeast of Blue Hill, she said it’s
understandable.
“I think it’s just a combination of (a big
game) and the week they have been
through. I think it’s been hard for them to
come to grips with everything they are
dealing with in life and then to come and
play an awesome team like St. Cecilia,”
Allen said. “We said, it’s just one game. It’s
not our season. What they have been
through, we know there are a lot bigger
things than a volleyball match. We just
have to hit it hard and we have two big
games on Saturday to get ready for.”
The first set was back-and-forth through
much of the action. With St. Cecilia leading 15-13, Hamburger set up junior
Morgan Nikkila — a common sight on
Tuesday — for the kill. The point started a
10-3 run that led to the Hawkettes taking
the set. During the run, STC took advantage of four errors on the Bobcats. Senior
Arika Kitten had one kill and two ace

BLUE HILL — If there was one thing
to take away from Class C-2 No. 3 St.
Cecilia’s performance at Blue Hill, it’s this:
When the Hawkettes are connected on all
cylinders, it’s nearly impossible to defend
them.
St. Cecilia defeated Blue Hill in straight
sets Tuesday, winning 25-16, 25-15, 25-20.
Sophomore Clare Hamburger finished
the match with 34 assists. Hamburger
seemed to have a number of hard hitter to
set to at any given moment. If the Bobcats
(4-3) dug the ball, the Hawkettes came
right back at them with another hard hit.
St. Cecilia (5-2) showed its depth by having three players who finished with more
than seven kills.
“We have a lot of weapons, and I
thought we dug the ball well,” St. Cecilia
coach Alan VanCura Blue Hill said. “They
played really well against us. They dug a
lot of balls and we had to work hard out
there. It was a good matchup for us
because they made us work hard.”
The Hawkettes took advantage of several Blue Hill mistakes in cruising to the
sweep. Whether it was a hitting error or

blocks during the stretch.
Set No. 2 was all St. Cecilia. The
Hawkettes seemed to score in bunches,
with Hamburger recording a match-high
13 assists in the set. Nikkila led with six
kills and Kitten tallied five.
The third set had a similar start as the
second did. St. Cecilia jumped out to a 179 lead and all seemed to be in control.
With the score 23-12, some of the
Hawkettes came out of the game. But Blue
Hill was determined to make STC earn the
final set. The Bobcats scored eight of the
next nine points, making it 24-20. With
the most of the momentum now with
Blue Hill, VanCura subbed Hamburger
back into the match. And that was all it
took for St. Cecilia to end the rally.
Hamburger said the main focus of the
STC defense was on Maci Coffey. The Blue
Hill junior finished with 12 kills on the
night. VanCura said his team knew Blue
Hill would look to her, and the fact that
she still got that many kills on a defense
that had her spotlighted only testifies to
the kind of player she is. But as VanCura
told his team, it’s going to take more than
one opponent to beat his Hawkettes.

Thayer Central players celebrate their win over Sandy Creek in five sets Tuesday at Sandy Creek.
Titans rally to win in five sets
MIKE ZIMMERMAN

F
AIRFIELD — No quit.
That’s what the players on the
Thayer Central volleyball team
showed Tuesday night at Sandy
Creek.
The Class C-1 No. 10 Cougars (6-2)
scored in crunch time to nab the first two
sets, and the Class C-2 No. 5 Titans just
looked like they were having an off night.
Instead, Thayer Central (4-0) charged
back, turning up the emotion and making
a few key adjustments to come back and
win 21-25, 22-25, 25-20, 25-23, 15-12.
“We were really down. It was our intensity that won it,” Titan junior Allison
Tietjen said. “We were just not getting
excited, so Coach took us out there and
told us we better do something. And I
think we responded to it.”
Added Thayer Central head coach Kurk
Wiedel: “For us, the key is to just play
every point. Don’t worry about the point
before, and we did that early in the match.
But late, I think we just let things go. We
let the flow go.
“We lacked a lot of emotion. Just the
intensity, just being intense when you’re
at the net without the ball. I thought we
lacked the intensity, but we brought it up.”
Sandy Creek had all the momentum on
its side after the first two sets.
Both teams were close in those sets, but
the Cougars found a way to pull away when
it mattered most. Tied 13-all in the first,
Sandy Creek went on a tear to score nine
out of the next 12 points to take a 22-16
lead. The Titans put themselves back into
the set with a four-point run of their own to
get back within two. But then the Cougars
scored the final points to take the set.
The second was very similar. Both teams
battled back and forth, forcing a 21-all tie.
But like the first, it was the Cougars that
would get the points at the end to win the
second 25-22.
In those first two sets, Sandy Creek
relied heavily on senior Mikaela Shaw —
and it worked. With help from sophomore
setter Rylee Morris, Shaw tallied 15 kills.
However, Shaw was limited to only nine
more kills in the final three sets. Keeping
track of her was one of a few things Thayer
Central adjusted during its comeback.

Sandy Creek’s Morgan Dickson spikes the ball in
the first set against Thayer Central’s Lauren
Edgecomb Tuesday at Sandy Creek.
After jumping into the NAIA poll at No. 9
earlier Tuesday, the Hastings College volleyball team didn’t have a letdown in its first
match as a top-25 team since the 2008 season.
The Broncos swept Nebraska Wesleyan
25-16, 25-16, 25-14 at Lynn Farrell Arena to
run their winning streak to 10 matches.
“Anytime you get a conference win over a
good team in Wesleyan, who has good athletes and is well coached ... we’re happy to
have a good performance and to come out
with the win,” first-year HC coach Matt
Buttermore said.
Against the Prairie Wolves (3-2, 0-1
GPAC), the Broncos (12-2, 2-0) produced
one of their most balanced offensive performances of the season.
Senior outside hitter Kendra Schwein,
who was named the NAIA player of the
week earlier Tuesday, and sophomore middle Jessica Osterhaus tallied nine kills each,
while junior middle Shayna Schacher contributed eight kills.
“That’s what we wanted to focus on after
a week where we were pretty one-sided,”
Buttermore said. “We wanted to come out
and develop the rest of our offense a little
bit more. We have good middles and we
want to get them the ball, so I thought we
did a good job of that. The numbers are
much more balanced in this match than
they have been in the last few weeks.”
The Broncos finished with a .232 hitting
percentage while totaling 35 kills, with six
players finishing with at least three kills.
Hastings also had 12 team blocks while
holding Wesleyan to a .038 hitting percentage.
Nebraska Wesleyan sophomore outside
hitter Katelyn Walsh finished with a matchhigh 13 kills, accounting for nearly half of
the Prairie Wolves’ kills.
“She has a lot of range, she has power and
she’s a good outside presence, so she’s
always going to cause matchup problems,”
Buttermore said of Walsh. “We wanted to
make sure we had a good blocker in front of
her as well as get set up on the defense.
Luckily we were able to kind of get them
out of system more and were able to line up
a little better on her.”
The HC attack — led by Osterhaus and
Schwein — proved to be too much for
Nebraska Wesleyan to handle.
Osterhaus, a Sutton graduate, had her
hand in 10 total blocks. Along with her
nine kills, Schwein had two ace serves and
six digs.

Big Ten football coaches: Don’t write off league just yet
ANDREW SELIGMAN
Big Ten coaches had just one
request for the critics ripping the conference after a rough weekend.
Wait.
Nebraska coach Bo Pelini cautioned
against making “snap judgments” so
early in the season during Tuesday’s
conference call, no matter how rough
things looked.
“I don’t make much of it,” he said.
“It’s early in the year. I think there’s a
lot of football left to be played.”
A 6-6 showing that left the Big Ten
with just three ranked teams was bad
enough. But last week’s split decision
included a 1-6 mark against oppo-
nents from major conferences and
Notre Dame, plus Michigan’s narrow
win over Air Force.
So is the conference headed toward
a dull season? At the moment, No. 10
Michigan State appears to be the only
team with a realistic shot at the
national championship, and the
Spartans are facing a tough matchup
this week at home against No. 20
Notre Dame.
A year ago, the Spartans’ 31-13 loss
in South Bend cast doubt on their season, but they rebounded to finish
with 11 wins and the 11th spot in the
final AP poll. That’s something coach
Mark Dantonio was quick to point
out.
“I think we played two games,” he
said. “We’re very, very early in the season. I think last year, as I remember,
the third game we didn’t play well at
Notre Dame and people sort of wrote
us off. I think we ended up No. 9 or
something like that in the nation.
People will respond. That’s the nature
of football, the competitive nature of
things. People are going to respond,
and they’re going ... to reset their
compass and re-evaluate and move
forward. It’s very, very competitive in
the country right now in terms of
winning and losing football games.”
Michigan State was one of the
bright spots for the Big Ten, pounding
Central Michigan as expected, but No.
17 Michigan struggled to get past Air
Force despite Denard Robinson’s 426
yards of offense.
Against BCS opponents? The results
weren’t good.
Northwestern beat Vanderbilt, but
that was it for the Big Ten.
Nebraska’s defense gave up 653
yards in a 36-30 loss to UCLA that
dropped the Cornhuskers out of the
Top 25. Purdue lost by three to Notre
Dame on a late field goal, and
Boilermakers quarterback Robert
Marve injured his left knee.
Illinois got shredded by Arizona
State. Iowa managed just two field
goals in a 9-6 loss to Iowa State and
has just one touchdown after two
games. Wisconsin’s offense managed
just 35 yards rushing and 207 overall
in a 10-7 loss at Oregon State. Star
running back Montee Ball had just 61
yards on the ground, and offensive
line coach Mike Markuson was let go.
“Overall, I just wasn’t seeing the
results,” coach Bret Bielema said. “This
wasn’t something that was decided
overnight. I’ve had discussions with
Mike going back into last spring, kind
of getting to where we needed to be. I
just felt for us to move forward one of
the things as a head coach that I
decided early on in my career was if I
didn’t like the direction somewhere
was going and thought we had a

and she doesn’t care who you are,
she wants to beat you. That’s great

physical talent, too.”
Senior setter Haley Beardsley tallied 27 assists and three kills.
“She’s doing a nice job of distributing the ball,” said Buttermore,
whose Broncos have a week off
before returning to action Sept. 19
at NCAA Division II No. 1
University of Nebraska at Kearney.
“We’ve asked her to kind of step
out of her comfort zone this week
from what we’ve been doing the
last couple of weeks and she did
that.”

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre
Dame is leaving the Big East for the
Atlantic Coast Conference in all
sports but football.
The ACC and Notre Dame said
Wednesday that the school will
play five football games annually
against the league’s programs, while
Notre Dame athletic director Jack
Swarbrick said in a statement that
the Irish will also have access to the
ACC’s non-BCS bowl tie-ins.
The move allows the Irish to
maintain football independence,
while the ACC is making an excep-
tion to its all-or-nothing requirement for schools to be full members.
ACC Commissioner John Swofford
said in a statement the move was “a
terrific milestone in the evolution of
the ACC and showcases tremendous
solidarity and vision by our Council
of Presidents.”
Along with inviting Notre Dame,
the ACC also says it has increased
its exit fees for the conference’s
schools to three times the league’s
annual operation budget — which
would currently come to more than
$50 million.
It was not clear when the realign-
ment will take effect. The ACC
scheduled a news conference for
Wednesday afternoon in Chapel
Hill, N.C.
Notre Dame has played basketball in the Big East for years, but
Syracuse and Pitt are leaving the
league along with West Virginia —
and now Notre Dame. In the ACC,
the Irish will face traditional powers
like Duke, North Carolina and the
league also fits the sports Notre
Dame is competitive in, including:
lacrosse and soccer.
The ACC in turn gets one of the
nation’s premier football programs,

Titans: Thayer Central rallies
The offense also changed it
up. The Titans showed they have
four, sometimes five, girls who
can score points when needed.
The go-to player is senior
Bridgette Baden, and the game
plan was for her to get chances.
But Sandy Creek keyed on her,
and it was evident in the third
set when she was blocked twice
in a row. Wiedel said it became
clear that the other hitters needed to be given a chance.
“As soon as we started to distribute the ball evenly, the kids
started to get some confidence,”
the coach said. “We’ve just got to
do that. I think you go to your
stud. But sometimes you’ve just
got to distribute in order to make
it work.”
After taking the third set 2520, Thayer Central became a different team. In the fourth, when
it came down to crunch time
again, it was the Titans who
showed the poise to get the final
points. A big kill from Tietjen to
send it into the fifth set may
have been the point when all
the momentum went to the
Titans.
Sandy Creek battled, though,
and erased a 10-6 deficit in the
fifth set to take a 11-10 lead. But
then four Cougar errors gave free
points to Thayer Central, and
Baden finished it with an
emphatic block that made the
Titans players fall to their knees
in excitement.
“We just have to be able to
keep our composure when it’s
tight,” Sandy Creek head coach
Angie Morris said. “For this
team, that really hasn’t been the
case up to this game.”
The Cougars finished with 53
unforced errors — including 31
in the final three sets.
Wiedel pointed out that his
team didn’t have a clean match,
either.
“A lot of errors. Sometimes it’s
survival at this time of the season,” he said.
Shaw had a stellar performance, finishing with 24 kills, an

ace and four blocks for the

16 Sandy Creek points.
Sophomore Taylor Hinrichs had
eight kills, while junior Morgan
Dickson tallied six. Freshman
Chainey Tompkin had three
blocks.
Allison Tietjen finished with
11 kills, two aces and three
blocks for Thayer Central. Tarryn
Tietjen led with 25 assists. Baden
tallied 10 kills, an ace and five
blocks on the night.
“Give (Thayer Central) credit,
they played good defense,”
Angie Morris said. “We didn’t
always get our passes where we
needed it to be.
“We really hurt ourselves
tonight. We had so many service
errors and just little mistakes that
gave them easy points.”
For Wiedel, the credit to the
night goes to his leaders on the
floor.
“Our seniors have stepped up.
A year ago, we were kind of complacent,” he said. “Our seniors,
they understand what leadership
is. And I give Tarryn, Bridgette ...
all those kids a ton of credit.”

Both Hamburger and VanCura
said St. Cecilia is improving with
each match. But according to
VanCura, this week will be an
important one for the
Hawkettes. St. Cecilia hosts
Aquinas on Thursday and plays
at the Fillmore Central tournament Saturday.
“Our schedule doesn’t get any
easier. We told the kids this is a
rough week against us,” VanCura
said. “With five matches against
some good ball clubs ... it’s very
tough week, and on top of that
you throw on homecoming and
all of those activities. We’re just
hoping that our kids stay focused
and take it one game at a time
and play as well as we can.”
Allen felt her team was just
half a step behind throughout
the match. And with a young
team, it’s going to be important
to stick together through the
remainder of the season. Allen
said volleyball has been a way to
take their minds off the recent
events the community has been
through.
“Tomorrow, we have to come
back after a funeral and practice
hard. We’ve talked about when
we get on that court, that’s a
release for us. We can get our
minds off of what we’ve been
through and just start focusing
on volleyball again,” Allen said.
“This is their time to have fun.
They’re young. They’re kids and
they need to have fun, too.
Hopefully we can do a couple
fun things during practices and
get their mindset back. A little
more positveness, a little more
enthusiasm and intensity — it
was lacking tonight, which was
understandable.”

Big Ten: Coaches say not to write off league just yet
chance to have a good football

until the end just because that’s
how it’s normally done. This
one was on me as a head coach.
I righted a situation I felt I needed to do. Hopefully, we can
move forward with progress.”
The Badgers still seem to have
a clear path to the Big Ten title
game in the Leaders division.
After all, No. 12 Ohio State
and Penn State are banned from
playing in the Big Ten title game
or a bowl as part of NCAA sanctions. Indiana’s two wins are
over weak competition (Indiana
State and Massachusetts), and
Illinois and Purdue have done
nothing to indicate they’re
about to make a jump.
Then again, the conference’s
coaches think it’s too early to
rule anything out.
“One game doesn’t define a
season,” Bielema said. “The Big
Ten went, what, 6-6 overall?
Obviously, it’s not winning, it’s
not losing, but it’s right in the
middle. That’s not where the Big
Ten wants to be. We played
some pretty formidable teams.”

D
EAR ABBY: I’m really
bad when it comes to
speaking. It’s hard for
me to squeak out the few
words I can. I
am shy and
not very sociable, so when
I’m with people, even my
two friends, I
feel like I
come across as

have the right
Dear Abby
things to say.
When I’m with my family, I
don’t usually have this problem.
In public, it seems like everyone else is so much more interesting than I am. Making conversation is a lot of trouble. I
know this sounds silly, but do
you know if there is anything
that can be done about it? I
heard you had a booklet about
being more social. Is it still
published? If so, how can I get
one? — VICTORIA IN SOUTH
CAROLINA
DEAR VICTORIA: Making
conversation may seem like “a
lot of trouble” to you because
making conversation is a SKILL
that you haven’t yet mastered.
A surefire way to contribute in
social situations is to become
informed about what is going
on in the world by reading
books, magazines, the Dear
Abby column (of course) and
going on the Internet. The
more informed you are about
the world, the better you will
be.
You don’t have to be an
“authority” on everything. A
good conversationalist is interested in what other people
have to say instead of feeling
pressured to fill the air with the
sound of his or her own voice.
My booklet “How to Be
Popular” is filled with suggestions about how to polish one’s
social skills. It isn’t meant to be
read just once and then put
aside. Read it often because it
covers a variety of social situations. It can be ordered by
sending your name and
address, plus check or money
order for $7 (U.S. funds) to
Dear Abby Popularity Booklet,
P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL
61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price.
There are tips not only for
what to say, but also what NOT
to say, which is one of the keys
for becoming the kind of person other people find interesting, attractive and want to
know better. If parents, teachers and clergy know people
who need help in this regard, it
might make an inexpensive gift
that could help change the
course of their lives.
Most people can concentrate
on only one thing at a time.
One of the best cures for shyness is to forget about yourself
and concentrate on the OTHER
person by asking about what
he or she is interested in. Try it,
and you’ll find it works.

DEAR ABBY: I have this little
boy I tutor. He is 7 and says he
loves me. I’m 18. I try to tell
him I’m way too old and he
isn’t my type, but all he says is,
“Age ain’t nothing but a number.” Help! I need to know
what to do. — ALEX IN NEW
JERSEY
DEAR ALEX: Start by telling
him that the word “ain’t” isn’t
appropriate — that what he
should be saying is, “Age isn’t
anything but a number.” Then
tell him that while you are
complimented, he is there to
study — so you’ll revisit the
subject when HE is 18.

n coming months, be
alert for an unusual venture in which you will be
able to transform something that is outmoded
into a profitable endeavor.
It shouldn’t be too hard,
because it’ll be in your area
of expertise.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) — It’s admirable of you
to be compassionate and
charitable to persons who
are less fortunate than you.
However, be practical when
it comes to the extent to
which you help them.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
— Don’t be surprised if a
couple of friends turn to
you for help when it comes
to a problem that they
can’t unravel. Fortunately,
you’ll know how to resolve
their issues.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) — It is quite likely that
you’ll have a slight edge
over your adversaries in a
competitive development.
However, your margin of
error is rather thin, so
don’t push your luck.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) — It might prove
to be beneficial to try to
communicate with an old
friend who is presently
residing at a new, distant
location, if you’ve got
something he or she might
be interested in.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) — The chances of
achieving an important
objective are likely to be
better today than they will
be tomorrow. Don’t put
anything off if it can easily
be taken care of right now.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) — Pay heed to your
mate’s suggestions if a decision regarding a matter of
mutual concern has to be
made sooner rather than
later. The added perspective
could prove to be just what
the doctor ordered.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) — A project that you’re
undertaking with another
has plenty of promising
potential. However, both
parties must be patient,
because the rewards will be
slow in coming.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) — Don’t think less of
opportunities that presently offer only small rewards
because with time, some of
them could turn out quite
well. Make sure you have
an eye on long-term potential.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) — The main reason
that most conditions
appear to be so promising
is because of your ability to
overcome difficulties.
You’re able to accomplish
what you envision, and
that counts for a lot.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) — Don’t let a Johnnycome-lately associate try to
assume control of an
arrangement that you’re
better equipped to handle.
Stand up for what you
know is not only fair but
also best.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) — Trust your innate
business acumen because
it’s the asset that will put
you in the black. You’re
especially adroit at handling both your pennies
and dollars.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) —
Others are likely to find the
example you’re setting to
be an excellent one, mostly
because they’ll see you taking your responsibilities
seriously.

Frugal Living — Organize school lunch supplies
BY SARA NOEL
United Media
Packing school lunches can be
stressful for those who aren’t
“morning people.” Organization is
key to making it much easier.
The first reader tip can make the
morning run more smoothly:
Lunch organization: I put all of
the lunch foods that I can (refrigerated and pantry items) into plastic
bins on Sunday. Throughout the
week, I just pull from the bins.
Making multiple lunches is quick
and painless. — Olivia, Ohio
Note from Sara: Look at my mixand-match lunch idea list, too: frugalvillage.com/forums/foodkids/134225-mix-match-lunchboxideas.html.
Dress up a paper plate: I bake a
lot of cookies to give as gifts. Tins
make nice containers for them,
and I like to stack the cookies in
glass jars, too. Sometimes I punch
holes into a paper plate and thread
ribbon through the holes and tie a
bow. It’s a frugal way to gift cookies, and it’s a nicer presentation
than on a plain paper plate.
Different ribbons and colored
plates make this a great gift for any
time of year. You can run paper
lunch sacks through your printer,
too. Think: Gift bags and goodie
bags with cute images or messages.
— Kelly, Texas
Uses for pillowcases: I use our
old pillowcases to store things like
the food processor or large pans
that aren’t used often. The pillowcase keeps the dust and bugs/spiders off. — Zakity, Oregon
Bacon end pieces: I buy the end
pieces and grind them up into
“bacon hamburger.” I then fry it
up into bacon bits. We store them
in old 64-ounce yogurt containers
in the freezer. When we need
some, we pry some off with a fork.
The bottom layer ends up being a
mix of bacon bits and bacon
grease, so we make bacon gravy
out of it. Oh my, that stuff is heavenly! Also, when we cook up the
bits, we drain them using a mesh
colander. I then save the bacon
grease in an old 32-ounce yogurt
container. We use that to season
our cast iron. Occasionally, we will
cook with it. Homemade tortillas
with bacon grease instead of shortening is to die for. — Zakity,
Oregon
Freeze rice: I find freezing rice to
be very helpful. You can freeze it in
whatever containers you want (I
use one-pint jars, which are the
perfect size for the two of us). Both
brown rice and white rice freeze
well. I find it especially helpful to
freeze wild rice, since it has a
longer cooking time. A one-pound
can is almost $4 here. I would
never pay that, but a lot of times
I’ve been tempted to have one on
the shelf, since I don’t always have
time to cook wild rice. Having it
frozen is a big help. And adding
rice is a great way to stretch hamburger. — S.D., Minnesota
Uses for toothpaste: I could
hardly see through my car’s headlights, so I hooked up the buffer
(the kind used to buff the car
when waxing), placed some toothpaste on it, added a small amount
of water and went to town. The
headlights were clear again, and I
saved a lot of money! I also clean
my wedding band with toothpaste.
It’s silver, not gold, and cleaning
with bleach would cause it to turn
dark. Now I use toothpaste to buff
it, and it shines good as new! —

TYLER GOLDEN, NBC/AP
This June photo released by NBC shows mentors (from left) Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Adam
Levine on the set of “The Voice” in Los Angeles.
‘X Factor,’ Voice’ clash
LYNN ELBER
LOS ANGELES — The stakes are high,
the tactics are fierce and the rhetoric is
heating up.
Obama versus Romney? Nope. It’s the
contest between “The Voice” and “The X
Factor,” which escalated after NBC
abruptly moved to pit its “Voice” against
Wednesday’s second-season debut of Fox’s
“X Factor.”
The two singing contests already faced
a tussle over audience votes when NBC
scheduled a fall cycle of “The Voice” after
it proved itself as a solid spring performer.
Then, in a post-Labor Day surprise, an
apparently mischievous NBC said it was
expanding the show’s first week from
Monday and Tuesday to include a third
episode, which happens to air opposite
the first hour of the “X Factor” bow at 7
p.m.-9 p.m. Wednesday. Fox’s show also
airs Thursday.
Suddenly, the battle of the talent shows
is much more interesting.
Or make that infuriating, if you’re “X
Factor” creator, executive producer and
judge Simon Cowell. Known for his creative critiques as an “American Idol” panelist (”You sound like a cat jumping off
the Empire State Building”), he was simply blunt about NBC’s move.
Cowell took off the gloves when he
told a teleconference last week that he
was angry “because I think there’s a kind
of gentleman’s agreement.”
The implication: Networks can slap
each other around by putting dramas and
comedies head-to-head, but a talent show
is in a class of its own, like PBS’
“Downton Abbey” but with a record contract and hot modern blondes named
Christina, Britney and Demi.
“I think it’s mean-spirited and I hope
and I pray that it backfires on them,
because it’s one of the best shows we’ve
ever made,” Cowell said, adding that
three consecutive nights of “Voice” is
“too much” and viewers will choose “X
Factor.”
“But I’ve learned, don’t make any predictions,” he said, tempering bravado
with caution.
Season two represents a sophomore
reboot for “X Factor,” which did well last
season but failed to pull the 20 million
viewers he’d grandly predicted. Instead, it
averaged about 12.6 million for its performance and results episodes, which
Cowell saw as a “wake-up call” for how to
handle the U.S. version of his British hit.
(”The Voice” averaged 15.9 million last
season, with results shows coming in at
11.3 million.)

trick and returns a diamond.
Then the defenders can collect
one club, four diamonds and
two hearts for down one.
Is there a better way to get
the two extra tricks?
Yes, if South is willing to go
slowly by attacking hearts. He
loses two tricks in the suit, but
he also establishes two winners. The defense is held to two
hearts and four diamonds,
while declarer takes three
spades, two hearts, one diamond and one club.
Losing tricks early to establish winners is a common notrump strategy.

HILLEL ITALIE
RAY MICKSHAW, Fox/AP
This June photo released by Fox shows judges (from left) L.A. Reid, Demi Lovato,
Britney Spears and Simon Cowell on the set of “The X Factor.”
“I was a bit cocky,” he said in a recent
interview. “I was feeling bullish coming
off the U.K. show. And I don’t think I
really read the (American) market that
well” and how a strong show could let
“massive social network power” make it a
hit.
So is “X Factor” sharper now that firstyear judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula
Abdul are out and Britney Spears and
Demi Lovato are in? Also gone is host
Steve Jones, to be replaced before live
episodes begin in November by a likely
male-female duo yet to be chosen (Kevin
McHale of “Glee,” Kelly Osbourne and
Khloe Kardashian are among the rumored
candidates).
Yes, said Cowell, with the new judges
and new producers making a difference.
“The show looks better and feels better
than what we did a year ago. I can see an
improvement. I’m happy with it,” he said.
Spears and Lovato are “doing great,”
according to Cowell. “With Britney,
everybody expects there’s going to be
some kind of car crash with her. But it’s
not. She’s very switched on, very focused.
... She has good taste and from working
with her you can understand why she’s
lasted so long in the industry.
“She totally understands the music
business and understands the difference
between a good singer and a potential
star.”
As for Lovato, she’s a “revelation,” he
said. “She’s very smart, she’s a brat and
that’s probably why I like her.”
Lovato, 20, also is “a very hot recording
artist,” Cowell said, and one who’s closer
to the age of the audience that Fox wants
to attract, the young adults for whom
sponsors pay higher ad rates.
All that optimism, and then came the
decision by NBC that Cowell labels a
“spoiling tactic.”
NBC declined to comment. “Voice”
executive producer Mark Burnett, who
told TMZ last week that he was unaware
of his show’s added night and that it
never occurred to him the two shows
would compete, didn’t respond to a
request for comment.
He’s not afraid of a little verbal hardball, however. Recently, Burnett pointedly
noted that there are format changes for
“The Voice,” but he’s sticking with original mentors Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo
Green, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine as
long as they’re available — in obvious
contrast to Cowell’s musical chairs.
“Truly we’ve gotten so close with all
these guys, and it really has become like a
family,” Burnett said, explaining why he
opened his Malibu home for a “Voice”
news conference.
“The X Factor” should be more concerned with postseason Major League
Baseball pre-emptions as Fox airs the playoffs, said analyst Brad Adgate of mediabuyer Horizon Media.
For “The Voice,” there’s competition to
come from ABC’s popular “Dancing With
the Stars” and the potential of overkill
with two runs in a year, he said, while
“American Idol” is still on and strong in
part because Fox airs it once annually.
“Fox kind of protected it, and I don’t
think NBC is doing that with ‘The Voice,’ ”
he said. “I was kind of surprised they took
one of the few bona fide hits on the network and are running the risk of viewer
fatigue.”
Nielsen shows how people use TV differently
NEW YORK — The number
of U.S. homes that don’t get traditional television service continues to increase, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have TVs.
The Nielsen company said
in a report issued on Tuesday
that three-quarters of the esti-
rthur Ashe said, “A
wise person decides
slowly but abides
by these decisions.”
That is interesting
from someone who had to
make split-second decisions
on a tennis
court.
However, in
each deal,
declarer and
the defenders
must decide
whether to
Phillip
strive quickly to
Alder
take the number of tricks
needed to make or break the
contract, or to act more leisurely, slowly developing the necessary winners.
Which applies in today’s
deal? South is in one no-trump.
West leads his fourth-highest
diamond, East puts up the jack,
and South wins with his king.
These days, many Easts
would have responded one
heart over North’s takeout double. But it consumes no space
and cannot even be considered
a useful lead-director.
South starts with five top
tricks: three spades, one diamond (trick one) and one club.
It looks tempting to play on
clubs, where surely West has the
king. But note what happens. If
declarer plays a club to the
queen, cashes the club ace, and
plays a third club, East takes the
mated 5 million homes that
don’t get TV signals over the
airways or through cable,
satellite or telecommunications companies have televisions anyway.
Many of these homes are satisfied to use their TVs for games
or get programming through
DVDs or services like Netflix or
Apple TV, said Dounia Turrill,
senior vice president for client
insights at Nielsen.
The company’s report shows
how the nature of TV service
is slowly changing. Before the
percentage started declining
about three years ago, more
than 99 percent of TV homes
received the traditional TV signals. Now that has dipped just
below 96 percent.
Part of the decline is also
economic — service deemed
expendable by people struggling to make ends meet,
Nielsen said.

NEW YORK — A new and
uncertain era of e-book prices
has begun.
HarperCollins Publishers
announced Tuesday that it has
reached new price agreements
with sellers that conform to a
settlement with the Justice
Department over allegations that
five publishers and Apple colluded to set prices for e-books. Such
new works as Michael Chabon’s
“Telegraph Avenue” now can be
purchased on Amazon.com for
$9.99, a price publishers and
rival booksellers fear will give
Amazon dominant control of
the e-market.
Simon & Schuster and
Hachette Book Group also settled, but as of Tuesday afternoon e-prices for such fall
books from those publishers as
Bob Woodward’s “The Price of
Politics” and Tom Wolfe’s
“Back to Blood” were selling
for $14.99. A spokesman for
Simon & Schuster declined
comment, while Hachette
issued a statement saying it was
“engaged in productive discussions with e-book distribution
agents.”
Apple and two other publishers, Penguin Group (USA) and
Macmillan, declined to settle
and a trial is expected next June.
The settlement was
announced in April, when the
Justice Department filed suit,
and was approved last week by a
federal judge in New York. The
legal action stems from agreements reached between major
publishers and Apple in 2010
that allowed publishers to set
their own prices for e-books, an
effort to counter Amazon’s deep
discounts of best sellers. Over
the past two years, Amazon’s eshare is widely believed to have
dropped from around 90 percent to around 60 percent, with
Barnes & Noble.com’s rising to
25 percent.
E-books are believed to comprise around 25-30 percent of
total sales, exponentially higher than four to five years ago.
But growth has slowed over the
past year, and reasons cited
vary from the higher prices
charged under the Apple agreements to a general maturation
of the e-market, with the most
avid e-book readers already
accounted for.
With no definitive resolution
expected soon, publishers and
booksellers face a complicated
time of possible price wars or
periods when books may
become unavailable during the
busy fall season, depending
how quickly new agreements
are signed. Barnes & Noble.com
and other online retailers may
feel pressure to cut their prices
as deeply as Amazon.com. And
Random House Inc., which
agreed to a similar sales model
as HarperCollins and others but
is not involved in the legal
action, may find itself charging
several dollars more for popular
e-books than its competitors
charge
Prices for new HarperCollins
books differed from seller to
seller as of Tuesday afternoon.
Chabon’s “Telegraph Avenue”
cost $12.59 on Barnes &
Noble’s Nook and $9.99 on
Apple’s iBookstore. Molly
Ringwald’s “When It Happens
to You” was $9.74 on Amazon,
$12.99 on Barnes & Noble and
$9.99 on Apple.

Romney criticizes Obama in wake of embassy attacks
BEN FELLER AND
NEDRA PICKLER
attacks as “disgraceful” in a statement the former Massachusetts
governor released before confirmation that the American
ambassador had been killed.
Obama spokesman Ben
LaBolt said the campaign was
“shocked that, at a time when
the United States of America is
confronting the tragic death of
one of our diplomatic officers
in Libya, Gov. Romney would
choose to launch a political
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —
Republican Mitt Romney
slammed the Obama administration’s handling of foreign affairs
after attacks on U.S. diplomatic
missions in Egypt and Libya as
foreign policy pushed to the front
of the presidential campaign.
Romney branded the administration’s early response to the
attack.” The president planned
to make a statement
Wednesday morning in a
White House Rose Garden
appearance with Secretary of
State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
U.S. ambassador to Libya Chris
Stevens and three American
members of his staff were killed
in an attack on the U.S. consulate
in the eastern city of Benghazi.
Libyan officials said the attack
was carried out by protesters
angry over a film that ridiculed
Islam’s Prophet Muhammed.
Romney pounced on news of
the attacks, trying to seize an
opportunity to criticize
President Barack Obama on an
area where voters see him as a
stronger leader. Polling shows
Americans trust Obama more
on foreign policy and national
security — areas where
Republicans traditionally have
an edge in public opinion.
Deaths in factory fires up to 314
ADIL JAWAD
pulling bodies out from the site
in Karachi.
Most of the deaths were
caused by suffocation as people
caught in the basement were
unable to escape when it filled
with smoke, said the top firefighter in Karachi, Ehtishamud-Din.
The building only had one
accessible exit, and all the
KARACHI, Pakistan —
The death toll from a pair of
devastating factory fires that
broke out in Pakistan’s two
biggest cities rose on
Wednesday to 314 people,
many of whom perished
because they were unable to
escape buildings that lacked
emergency exits and basic safety equipment such as alarms
and sprinklers.
The horrific toll highlights
the atrocious state of industrial
safety in Pakistan, where many
factories are set up illegally in
the country’s densely populated cities, and owners often pay
officials bribes to ignore safety
violations.
The more deadly of the two
blazes, which both erupted on
Tuesday night, was at a garment factory in the southern
city of Karachi, the country’s
economic heart.
The death toll there rose to
289 people Wednesday, as firefighters battled the flames for
hours, said senior government
official Roshan Ali Sheikh. It
was one of the worst industrial
accidents in Pakistan’s 65-year
history, and Sheikh said the
death toll could rise because
rescue workers were still
other doors were locked, said
Sheikh.
“It is a criminal act to lock
the emergency exit doors, and
we are trying to know who did
it, and why?” Sheikh said.
Relatives of the victims said
the factory owner locked the
exit doors in response to a
recent theft, thereby endangering the workers inside.

WORK
PLANNED FOR
VALENTINE LAKES BOAT RAMPS
VALENTINE — The Nebraska Game and
Parks Commission says improvements will be
made to boat ramps in Valentine National
Wildlife Refuge.
The work will be done to ramps at
Hackberry, Clear, West Long and Pelican
lakes.
The work is expected to begin Tuesday and
be finished by early November.
Existing sites will be replaced with concrete
ramps extending into the lakes, and steel
docks will be added alongside the ramps. The
docks will accommodate changing water levels and allow anglers access to deeper water
adjacent to the shoreline.
All lakes, except Clear Lake, have other
boat ramps available for use during the ramp
project.
More information is available by calling
the refuge at 402-376-1889.

CAMPERS, RVS OFFER
PERFECT ESCAPE

ccording to Jim
Dykeman, it doesn’t
matter if you travel 10
miles or 1,000 miles
from home.
It doesn’t matter what size fish
you catch during a weekend at
the lake.
Nor does it matter if your skills
at the grill need a little bit of
work.
“If you take your kids to the
lake on a family camping trip,
they will remember that more so
than if they went to
Disneyland,” said the owner of
Dykeman’s Campers in Hastings.
“They’ll remember the steak their
old man burnt in the campfire
for years to come. And most of
all, they’ll remember the good
times they had on the trip.”
During the week, Jim and his
staff, including his sons Brad and
Wade, work with customers and
suppliers to find RVs, campers
and fifth-wheels that suit their
customers’ needs.
But, on the weekends, Jim and
his family like to get out of town
to go camping.
“I love to get outdoors, and
that helps me relate to customers,” Brad said.
The busiest season for camper
sales is in the spring and summer
when the sport is most popular.
Larger RVs and trailers are first
choices for couples that have
recently retired and want to take
long road trips.
Smaller fifth-wheels appeal to
young families — Jim calls them
“weekenders” — who want to
take quick trips and have to find
a trailer within their budget.
And many customers use their
campers for more than just
camping.
“You can use your recreational
vehicle for tailgate parties, spring
camping, football, baseball, family events,” Jim said. “There’s no
end to it.”
Maury Gartner, owner of
Transportation Equipment
Company in Hastings, sells used
trailers and campers, keeping a
variety of vehicles in the company lot at any one time.
Gartner said he recommends
locations in the Nebraska State
Park system for families who are
just getting into camping or who
are buying a trailer for the first
time. But Gartner also enjoys the
feeling of getting away from the
rush of big crowds.
“It’s so much nicer to be out
by yourself in the wide open. You
can go out in the early morning
and late evening and just soak it
all in. Plus you meet a lot of
good people,” he said.
Modern trailers can be customized in hundreds of ways to
meet the needs of the customer’s
budget and design ideas.
Amenities in some RVs include
ovens, full-size refrigerators, fireplaces, showers, TVs, and surround-sound speaker systems. At
Dykeman’s, buyers can customize
everything from the flooring and
cabinet wood to the curtains and
carpeting in their new trailer.
“It is a big investment, but in
the long run, you save a lot of

money. It is better than paying
$100 or more a night to stay at a
hotel. Plus, in a camper, you
know where everything is and
you have your own space,” Brad
said.
Jim said Nebraska is a great
place to start camping because it
allows travelers to discover new
corners of the state and spend
quality time with family.
“I think you could camp in the
state of Nebraska weekend in and
weekend out and never see it all
because our state has so much to
offer,” he said. “No matter where
you go, this is just off the charts
a good time.”
