Man on parole accused of sexual assault
HAPPY THANKSGIVING Opinion Man on parole accused of sexual assault Nikki Carlson ncarlson@ncnewspress.com A Union man, who is currently on parole for first degree murder, was arrested by the Otoe County Sheriff's Office Nov. 23 on suspicion of sexual assault of a child. Laddie Dittrich, 69, was re- leased on parole May 30, 2013. Dittrich was on parole for a first-degree murder conviction, where he was one of three men convicted of killing John Wisotzkey of Omaha in 1973. He served a 40-year sentence. City and county attorney David Partsch said Dittrich's original sentence for the first-degree mur- der conviction was life in prison, but that was changed by the Nebraska Board of Pardons to 80 years in prison to life. Dittrich allegedly touched an underage female inappropriately on Nov. 23. According to an affidavit, an OCSO deputy responded to Dittrich's residence at 9:02 p.m. to ONLY ONLINE ■ Blogs: Diary of a Dad INSIDE: ■ Calendar See Page A5 ■ Police Reports See Page A3 ■ Opinion See Page A4 ■ Classifieds See Pages B4-5 ■ Obituaries See Page A3 Staff Reports www.ncnewspress.com Nebraska City Police Department Chief David Lacy holds a police department collectors challenge coin Nov. 20.

TODAY’S WEATHER See the full forecast online at ncnewspress.com COMING IN PRINT What began as a way for officers to show pride and camaraderie is now forming into an opportunity for the Nebraska City Police Department to give back to the community. The NCPD is selling collectors' challenge coins for $10 for people to show their support for the police department. Plus the coins, which are the size of a silver dollar, would make great stocking stuffers. "It symbolizes a representation for Nebraska City and the Nebraska City police," Sgt. Chris Angus said. "We're trying to make the community proud of who we are." One side of the coin features NCPD patches that officers wear on their uniforms - the Arbor Lodge State Historical Park mansion - with the words of the department's core values: professionalism, integrity and fairness. The other side has the Nebraska State Seal in gold coloring against a navy background. The idea of creating and selling coins began after Angus graduated from the FBI National Academy Program on the Marine Corps base in Quantico, Va. He saw patches With the "Farmer's Almanac" predicting a major winter ahead, the International Society of Arboriculture has recommendations to protect trees from stress and injury during the freezing cold. "The polar vortex that enveloped much of the country last season caused significant damage to the tree population in a number of cities, from breakage during heavy snow and ice storms to winter burn from cold winds," ISA Executive Director Jim Skiera said. "Fortunately, we can do something now to prepare our trees and shrubs for what winter may bring." The ISA recommends the following: ■ Mulch - Add a thin, protective layer of organic mulch around trees in the fall to help retain water and reduce stress from extreme temperatures. ■ Water - Winter droughts require watering as much as summer droughts. Occasional watering during the winter months on young trees is recommended, but only water when the soil and trees are cool, not frozen.

She's been an artist since she was a young girl. Now at 74, she is still creating and showing her multimedia artwork. Amy Sadle's "Waters of Italy" impressionist art show began Nov. 1 and runs through Jan. 1 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Loft Gallery in the Nebraska East Union building. Sadle said the inspiration for her show stemmed from a trip to Italy about three years ago. Sadle said she suffered from a stroke in August 2013. While she went through rehabilitation, she continued working on her impressionist oil paintings, in which she used a knife to paint. "And they're juicy with a little bit of humor here and there," she said.

The annual event is held the first Sunday in December and features a local pianist playing the Center’s Steinway piano in the formal parlor.

Dunnigan was appointed by Governor Heineman to the position in 2008 after serving in the Department for over 30 years. “It has been a great privilege to serve the citizens of the state and I will miss all of the wonderful people that I have worked with across the state,” said Dunnigan The Department has broad water management authorities, including floodplain management, interstate water management, permitting, and dam safety. During his tenure, Dun- nigan was able to provide a strong foundation to support effective water management activities across the state by engaging local partners. Dunnigan’s early days as director found him wrestling with key interstate water matters in the Republican River and Platte River basins. His leadership was instrumental in resolving those critical interstate water matters and improving the overall resilience of Nebraskans to respond to extreme droughts and floods.

Dittrich refused to discuss the incident with deputies. Partch said Dittrich is still incarcerated in the detention center. His bond was set to $250,000 during a bond hearing Nov. 24. Partsch said his bond is on hold, however, due to his parole. Dittrich's preliminary hearing will be Dec. 22 in Otoe County Court. Partsch said a sexual assault of a child charge is a Class 3A felony, which means Dittrich could be facing a maximum of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine or both. ice and snow accumulation can break or split branches, and animals chewing or rubbing also causes injuries to trees. According to a press release, some tree experts say the biggest concern during the winter months is tree failure. "Snow loading, ice or wind storms create conditions ripe for falling trees," ISA board-certified master arborist Tim Kastning. "Trees with weak points or defects will start failing in 50 milesper-hour wind gusts, but some winter storms are so extreme that normal healthy trees can also fail." Kastning is also a certified arborist-municipal specialist and president of Grace Tree Service in Hayden, Idaho. ISA, which is headquartered in Champaign, Ill., is a nonprofit organi- zation supporting tree care research and education worldwide. ISA manages the consumer education Web site www.treesaregood.org, which aids in the association's mission to educate the public about the importance and value of proper tree care.

Legend has it that a wealthy lieutenant had purchased bronze medallions for members of his military unit during World War I. One pilot wore it in a leather pouch around his neck. The pilot's aircraft was shot down and he was forced to land behind enemy lines where he was captured by a German patrol. He was stripped of his personal identification and then taken to a small French town where he escaped. He travelled to a French outpost where he was almost killed because he didn't have identification. However, a French captor recognized his squadron's insignia on the medallion and decided to give the pilot a bottle of wine versus an execution. Lacy keeps his coin in his pocket on- or off-duty just in case one of the of- ficers challenges him to produce his coin. The challenge part is a game that officers can play within the department. Like any game, there are rules. For instance, an officer can approach another and ask for that officer to produce a coin. If the officer can't then he or she officer owes the requestor a drink. If the officer does have the coin, then the requestor owes the drink. "It's kind of a game between people that hold them, but it's also a symbol to show what organization you belong to," Lacy said. Lacy said the coins are for sale at the police department, located at 1409 Central Ave., online at www.nebraskacitypd.com or by simply asking an officer. "If someone's interested in it and they see an officer, just flag an officer down and I'm sure he'll make arrangements to try and get you one," he said. Angus said that because this is a new police department fundraiser, the goal is to raise enough money to give it back to the community. "We're trying to build our fundraising funds," Angus said. "Once we get to a certain point we're going to branch out to the community." Lacy said an idea that the department has is to set up a scholarship for a high school student who is wanting to enter a law enforcement career. Lacy hopes people will enjoy the coins as much as he does. "They're neat gifts, and being made out of metal they'll last forever just like a coin," he said. "When my days are done maybe my son or my grandkids would want to have one as something to remember me by when I'm gone from this world." PAROLE Continued from Page 1 The deputy detained Dittrich at the back of the house and waited for another deputy to arrive at the scene. Dittrich was placed in a patrol car and taken to the Otoe County Detention Center. According to the affidavit, a deputy drove to Omaha, where the victim was with her father.

He also toured the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C., where he saw all of its annual challenge coins on display. Angus thought it would be an excellent opportunity to promote pride and honor to his department. He ordered 100 coins about two months ago. Every police officer has already received a coin, and the rest are for sale. Angus said there are about 62 coins left. "It is kind of a neat little deal. There are a lot of people out there that do collect them," NCPD Chief David Lacy said. "I have shown them to other people and they think they're pretty neat." 4+<8?67+88 ■ Laddie Dittrich, 69, of Union was arrested at 9:56 p.m. by the Otoe County Sheriff’s Office for suspicion of sexual assault on a child. ■ Danelle Westling, 38, of Cook, Neb., was arrested at 4:40 p.m. by the OCSO for an Otoe County warrant.

"Life Pages" features the four phases of life - youth, young adults, mid-life and old age and death - in type and scattered woodcuts. "It's about what you experience during those periods, like becoming a grandparent, being young and full of love and romance, being a little girl and becoming self-aware and relationships and families," she said. Sadle is passionate about art history, history, research and art education. She's a strong supporter of keeping the arts live in communities and in education. She said in order to maintain a "healthy" community, having the arts is essential. "In American high schools, 6 percent of the people will stay in once of the art forms for their entire life - writing, photography, painting, music for a part of their living," she said. "I've advocated a lot with the Nebraska Arts Council and the National Arts Council. When you learn the most and become an artist … it is not born in you, but the gift is to love it and the desire to do it, and create and look and practice. And most of us do that is in grade school, and that's where you need strong education." Sadle said her life's journey has been memorable. "It's just been quite a ride," she said. "I've had a wonderful life." As a girl, she grew up in a motion picture house. She graduated from Atlantic High School in Atlantic in 1958. She attended the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa, and the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, R.I. "I didn't want to go to college. I wanted to go to art school, but my mother thought it was a good idea (to go to college)," she said. "I loved to learn. The whole experience of college was wonderful." After only eight dates, she married the love of her life, Jack Sadle, Nov. 21, 1959.

"He slept in a telephone booth all night when he came up to propose, and I laughed at him for two days. But he was a hunk and I loved him." She has quite an extensive resume and her artwork has taken her to many places around the world. Some of the awards and honors she has received were: Who's Who in American Art/Women, Young Outstanding Women of America, the Nebraska Art Council's Artist in the Schools and Artist Mother of the Year second in the nation. Some of the magazines she's been featured in were: Pallet Talk, American Artist and NEBRASKAland. Among the many publications that she's authored are: "Creating A Winner In Any Media", Hunter Hall" and "Home of Wooden Ships and Iron Men". Some exhibits and tours that's she's been involved in were: an Invitational Fundraiser at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha and the "Blossom, the Art of Flowers" international tour at the Houston Museum of Natural Science in Houston in 2007, in which she was one of 50 winners selected from 1,749 international artists. Sadle has also been a teacher of art for many years. She still teaches people at her studio in Syracuse. For those interested in a few lessons from Sadle, they can contact her at (402) 580-8425. Sadle loves that art gives her the freedom to experiment and explore her own values. "Every day's exciting," she said. Sadle's art show at UNL runs through Jan. 1.

Inside well-meaning rants and poorly written bills are the unintended comment that they don’t believe people can be trusted to act like adults. It’s no wonder so many people complain about the “nanny state” that tries to control every aspect of a person’s life. Now, some Ohio legislators want to tell you what to do on a holiday. “Thanksgiving Day is supposed to be a day when we retreat from consumerism,” says Cleveland’s Democratic state Rep. Mike Foley, the author of a bill to regulate commerce on Thanksgiving Day. “It’s a day when you hang out with your family, go play touch football, have a big turkey dinner, and complain about your crazy uncle or cousin — but you don’t think about super blockbuster sales at Target.” That is exactly what the pilgrims and Native Americans were thinking when they held the three-day feast to celebrate the first harvest in the new world. I know Abe Lincoln was getting ready for a big postturkey flag football game when he proclaimed the first official national holiday for Thanksgiving. On the holiday created to encourage Americans to offer, “Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens,” Lincoln was really just looking for an excuse to complain about his crazy wife’s crazier brother. I understand that these legislators think they are protecting workers’ rights, but honestly, if some people find joy in shopping on a day off from work, someone else can make a profit from it. These guys are criminalizing capitalism. I enjoy sitting around eating and talking to family members I see a few times a year. I wouldn’t go to a mall on a holiday to save my life. But I know that I am not a good judge of what is typical. I wouldn’t go shopping on any day if I could avoid it. No employer truly forces anyone to work on a holi- S KENT BUSH day. Most employees have personal or vacation time. If your boss demands all employees work on a holiday, you can find a new job in the service industry. If that is the only job you can get or if you like it, maybe waiting until after work to enjoy a turkey leg is the price you pay for paying the bills. First, we require all workers to be off on Thanksgiving. What next? Will they require gravy on all mashed potatoes? Isn’t that what Lincoln would have wanted? Foley said his inspiration for the bill hits close to home. Foley says he was inspired to write the bill last year while leafing through newspaper circulars advertising Thanksgiving Day sales. “My wife said, ‘You’re a legislator, do something about this,’” he said. “And I thought, ‘Well, I am.’” First, let’s take a moment to bask in the glow of successful newspaper advertising. Did you hear the thump when today’s paper hit the porch? Make sure you check out those deals and tell them you saw it in the newspaper. Second, his wife wanted him to do something about it. Why couldn’t he focus those efforts on improved race relations, job creation or world peace? Instead, Foley picked Thanksgiving retailers as a target. I won’t shop on Thanksgiving this year. But I also will refrain from sanctimonious sermons against those who do. They aren’t breaking any laws – at least not yet. Kent Bush is the publisher of the Butler County (Kansas) Times Gazette and can be reached at: kbush@butlercountytimesgazette.com LETTER TO THE EDITOR Letter received about the proper way to wear an Army beret To the Editor, oday I received a nice letter from a very informed person apprising me of how to wear an Army beret correctly. These instructions were correct for that new style, which has been out for a number of years. However, I wish to give the letter writer some information. The final unit I served with was a tanker battalion, and the Tam was a part of our uniform. I was terminated from that unit June 30, 1977 and transferred to the Retired Reserve. I remained in that status until July 18, 1986, when I officially retired. I have various other headgear, but I find that the Tam is comfortable, appropriate and easy to wear. I hope this letter will help people understand that my Tam is to be worn as it is, and it is very easy to care for. T Chap (LTC) William P. Moore, Retired P.S.: The envelop should have been addressed to Ch. BROCK’S BEEF Preserving American values? he good ole' boys at Fox News were less than impressed with President Barack Obama's Thursday night prime-time address on immigration. The President announced his plan to use executive authority on immigration policy, protecting 4 to 5 million illegal immigrants from deportation. deportation "Mass would be both impossible and contrary to our character," the President said. "What I'm describing is accountability — a commonsense, middle-ground approach: If you meet the criteria, you can come out of the shadows and get right with the law. If you're a criminal, you'll be deported." Obama also made it clear that this was not amnesty, but a temporary delay on deportation for those who contribute to the American way of life. "Scripture tells us that we shall not oppress a stranger, for we know the heart of a stranger – we were strangers once, too," the President said. Friday morning, Tucker Carlson of Fox & Friends accused the President of misusing Bible quotes to support his position. “… For this guy specifically, the president who spent his career defending late-term abortion, among other things, lecturing us on Christian faith? That’s too much. That is too much. This is the Christian left at work, and it’s repugnant. “To quote scripture? That’s out of bounds.” T JIM BROCK Elisabeth Hasselbeck, also on Fox & Friends, added, “That’s not what the scholars behind the Bible would interpret as proper use.” Let's look at the scripture, Exodus 22, 21-24 (NIV): "Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt. Do not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless. If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry. My anger will be aroused, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your children fatherless." How else would "scholars behind the Bible" interpret that? To be honest, we as Americans have a lot to learn about the Bible, and it's arrogant for us to think we have the authority to speak on God's behalf – particularly politicians and those who serve as a political party's sounding board. We are a nation that picks and chooses what parts of the Bible to shove down the throats of its citizens, and few people have a problem with it. Often times, it isn't the "Word of God" that moves the masses – it's the person conveying the message. Latter-day prophets who mix right-wing American nationalism with Christian theology are effectively polarizing. Case in point: A June 2007 New York Times report tells the story of President George W. Bush's immigration overhaul, which "collapsed" in the Senate. The bill offered "legal status to millions of illegal immigrants while trying to secure the nation’s borders," the report said. Sen. Jeff Sessions (RAla.), who opposed the bill, said talk radio was “a big factor” in the defeat of the immigration bill, as "supporters of the bill wanted to pass it quickly, 'before Rush Limbaugh could tell the American people what was in it,'" Sessions said in the report. Does Rush Limbaugh have that much power? You bet he does. He is the King of the Conservative Airwaves, and the people listen – intently. Limbaugh is loved by his devoted listeners because he has made racism, xenophobia and homophobia acceptable through the context of "conservative values." He is a pusher, and the drug of choice is justifiable discrimination. Nearly every human being on Earth battles with some form of prejudice, and Rush is able to cajole the conservative base into believing such contempt is warranted in preserving America. And is "preserving America" simply code for American apartheid? One has to ask. The party of "Christian values" should think twice before asking questions like "Why can't we just round them all up and send them all home?" and "Why should I have to press 1 for English in my own country?" Not too long ago, the former was asked in reference to black Americans, and the anecdotal solution was "round them all up and send them back to Africa – if they'll even take them." The question you have to ask yourself is – will America cease to exist if we let 5 million immigrants stay? Are the alarmist tactics of the Right truly meant for our benefit? Sure, we are a nation of laws, but our leaders – Republican and Democrat – shouldn't be able to choose which ones to follow based on popularity, and the consequences of breaking those laws shouldn't be easy on some and harder on others. If corporations are truly people – as former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney says – then they should go to jail just like the rest of us. The same is true with the Bible – God either loves all of us, or He doesn't love any of us. And our love for God is based on how we treat each other. Matthew 25:40 says, "The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'" Ponder that! FISHIN’ PREACHER Cost of Maturity Luke 14:28 “For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?” ESV don’t think we grow up in certain areas until we see how much it cost. I became zealous about coasters when I bought my first coffee table. My kids think I’m the “Door-Nazi”. Well, that all started for me when I paid my first propane bill. I walk with my feet in the ten and two positions because I have to work much harder to fall and/or roll my ankles. This is because a couple years ago I slipped on the ice and thought I was dead, and I also rolled both of my ankles hiking. How about emotional maturity? I think I’ve learned that I AARON JEFFERS negativity and cynicism never pay-off because those things have made me pay dearly. I try to give everybody the benefit of the doubt, or if they’re treating me bad, not to judge them. Anyway, they might be going through a rough season and need somebody to break the cycle by cutting them some slack. Maturity is designed to naturally occur physically and emotionally when we see the cost. Jesus teaches us in Luke fourteen that the same holds true for spirituality. When you’re not seeing maturity in areas of your spiritual life; trying harder, struggling, and/or selfhelp probably isn’t doing much. But if you see the cost God paid to make you free from the sin your struggling with now, I bet you might start seeing some real growth in that area. God’s mercies are new every day because he paid the bill for us to have a fresh daily start. Hebrews 5:13, “For everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child.” See the cost of your righteousness with eyes of faith and the body will eventually follow.

R Nebraska-based companies scored in annual nationwide LGBT report Staff reports WASHINGTON - The nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights organization - the Human Rights Campaign - on Nov. 19 released the 2015 Corporate Equality Index results. The CEI is an annual report assessing LGBT inclusion in major companies and law firms nationwide. It is a national benchmarking tool on corporate policies and practices related to LGBT workplace equality. According to a HRC press release, the 2015 CEI revealed that a "record 366 businesses - spanning nearly every industry and geography - earned a top score of 100 percent" and the distinction of "Best Places to Work for LGBT Equality." The press release said 781 companies were officially rated in the 2015 CEI, which is up from 734 companies in the 2014 report. "The report also unofficially rated 190 Fortune 500 companies who have yet to respond to the CEI survey about their LGBT policies and practices," according to the release. Nebraska companies and law firms scored an average of 79 percent. The following companies are the top four LGBT friendly companies in Nebraska: ■ ConAgra Foods Inc. earned a 100 percent, ■ Kutak Rock, LLP, had a 90 percent, ■ Union Pacific Corp. scored a 70 percent ■ And Mutual of Omaha Insurance had a 60 percent rating. "When it comes to LGBT equality, corporate America is a leader, not a follower," HRC President Chad Griffin said. "At every turn, from advocating for marriage equality to providing vital support for transgender employees, this country's leading companies have asked, 'What more can we do?,' and they've worked tirelessly to achieve new progress. "That kind of leadership changes countless lives around this country, and sets an important example to other companies around the globe," Griffin added. He warns, however, that despite steady progress, LGBT workers still face some obstacles. "Too many companies still don't guarantee these vital workplace protections, and too many LGBT people - transgender people in particular - face high rates of unemployment and discrimination in hiring, keeping them from every getting a foot in the door in the first place," Griffin said. The following is key information contained in the 2015 CEI report: ■ The total number of companies earning a 100 percent was 366, up from 304 in the 2014 report and 189 two years ago, ■ The total number of participants who now cover gender identity in nondiscrimination policies is 89 percent, up from 86 percent in 2014, ■ The total number of Fortune 500 companies that have gender identity protections is 66 percent, up from 61 percent in 2014. ■ And 190 Fortune 500 companies received unofficial scores based on publicly available information. According to the press release: "Just as the CEI has successfully steered the country's top corporations, law firms and their influential leaders toward breaking new ground in workplace equality - from enacting LGBT non-discrimination policies to extending same-sex partners benefits - it has also helped companies move toward full inclusion for their transgender employees." The total number of companies participating in this year's CEI that now offer transgender workers at least one health care plan that includes transgender-inclusive coverage is 418 - a 22-percent increase since 2012. The five categories the CEI rates companies and top law firms are: ■ Non-discrimination policies, ■ Employment benefits, ■ Demonstrated organizational competency and accountability around LGBT diversity and inclusion, ■ Public commitment to LGBT equality, ■ And responsible citizenship.

The funds represented proceeds from the 23rd annual Wells Fargo Nebraska Open golf tournament held in September. Gary Thompson, a member of the Nebraska Public Power District Board of Directors, and Monica Balters, relationship manager at Wells Fargo Bank, presented three checks, each in the amount of $5,200, to representatives from each SCC campus during the regular monthly meeting of SCC’s Board of Governors. Checks were presented to Bob Morgan, dean of virtual learning/Beatrice Campus director; Bev Harvey, vice president for student services/Lincoln Campus director; and Ed Koster, vice president for technology/Milford Campus director. Kelsey Hajek, a student on SCC’s Beatrice Campus, also took part in the presentation. The money will go into the scholarship fund on each campus. Thompson thanked Wells Fargo for its ongoing sponsorship of the tournament, the proceeds of which have surpassed $1.25 million in scholarship dollars for students attending five of Nebraska’s community colleges. “We have a great partnership with Wells Fargo, our title sponsor,” Thompson said. “This is the largest event the Nebraska PGA puts on.” Balters said SCC has received more than $250,000 from the tournament since it began. A total of $78,000 was raised during this year’s tournament. Endorsed and administered by the Nebraska Section of the PGA and the Nebraska Golf Association, the tournament is coordinated by the NPPD and has been held at the Elk’s Country Club in since 1992. Protect trees for winter with these handy tips Staff reports With the "Farmer's Almanac" predicting a major winter ahead, the International Society of Arboriculture has recommendations to protect trees from stress and injury during the freezing cold. “We can do something now to prepare our trees and shrubs for what winter may bring," said ISA Executive Director Jim Skiera. The ISA recommends the following: ■ Mulch - Add a thin, protective layer of organic mulch around trees in the fall to help retain water and reduce stress from extreme temperatures. ■ Water - Winter droughts require wa- See more listings, plus auctions at ! ! ! ! # tering as much as summer droughts. Occasional watering during the winter months on young trees is recommended, but only water when the soil and trees are cool, not frozen. ■ Prune - Winter is a good time to prune trees because the tree structure is easier to see when there are no leaves. Limit pruning to dead wood and poorly placed branches to save as many living branches as possible. ■ Prevent injury Heavy ice and snow accumulation can break or split branches, and animals chewing or rubbing also causes injuries to trees.

I have been getting a lot of criticism from people in my extended family about my career choice, along the lines of, “If God gave you extra intelligence, you should take advantage of it and go into a field like medicine.” To me, this insinuates that nursing is subpar and easy to achieve. It’s really hard for me to deal with this banter about my future. I want to become a nurse practitioner, but my loved ones think a more suitable career would be engineer or doctor. Do you think I am making a good choice or not challenging myself enough? — Career Confused DEAR CONFUSED: You are going into medicine. And your basic response to anyone questioning this should be, “I’m excited to be a nurse. And — by the way ... you’re welcome.” Anyone spending time in a hospital as a patient or worried loved one realizes quickly that nursing is one of the most stressful and GASOLINE ALLEY THE MIDDLETONS Amy Dickinson is a Tribune Media Services national columnist challenging professions in medicine. Please — fly the flag proudly for nurses. But if you find you can’t, then perhaps this challenging profession is not for you. DEAR AMY: “Grace to His Will” was wondering how to label her loving platonic (gay) friend when introducing him. I loved your response, that labels aren’t necessary. But I do think “dear friend” is the best label there is. — Loving Friend DEAR FRIEND: Beautiful. I agree. Not every single human subtlety need be described for instant identification.
