Uganda and Rwanda.
When she returned to Africa in June
2015, Crawford went along again, before he had to begin training to defend
his title that October, which he successfully did. Biga went on that trip through
an Andy Award from the University of
Nebraska at Omaha.
On Thursday, July 21, Omaha writer
Leo Adam Biga will talk about Crawford’s trip to Africa with his fourthgrade teacher to do humanity work.
Biga will be the speaker at the Noon
Education Forum. Unfortunately,
Crawford will not be along for the
talk.

Bud Crawford visited Africa for the second time in June 2015
“We met African, American and
European program directors, educators,
aid workers and humanitarians,” Biga
said. “Crawford was feted as a visiting
prince by sports officials, who organized a press conference he handled
with aplomb.”
Crawford made his first trip to Africa in August 2014, shortly after he
defeated Yuriorkis Gamoa in a fight
in Omaha to retain his light welterweight title. He accompanied Jamie
Nollette, his fourth-grade teacher at
Skinner Magnet School.

Hall of Fame inductees are part of Omaha history
By Judy Horan
Hall of Fame Committee
O
n June 4 at the annual OPC
Journalists of Excellence Hall
of Fame dinner, emcee Rob
McCartney introduced six 2016
inductees after reflecting on how the
history of journalism in Omaha is the
history of Omaha:
“Nine years ago, I stood in front of friends
and relatives of the journalists who were the
first to be inducted into the Omaha Press
Club Journalists of Excellence Hall of
Fame. I was proud to be invited to begin the
journey to remember pioneer journalists like
Lyell Bremser, an early voice of the Huskers;
Earle “Buddy” Bunker, who was awarded a
Pulitzer Prize in 1944 for a photo he took
for the World-Herald, and Omaha TV’s
first news anchorman, Ray Clark. “Father
Williams of Creighton University. Mildred
Brown of the Omaha Star. And Warren
Buffett, who was part of a team that broke
a story for the newspaper he owned at that
Page 2 JULY/AUGUST 2016
time, the Omaha Sun. The Sun won the first
Pulitzer awarded a weekly newspaper.
“Slowly the memories of many of these journalists are dwindling. Their stories would be
lost in history if not for reminders such as this
Hall of Fame. Some are educators passionate
about preparing the next generation to report
on the history being made today.
“The history of journalism in Omaha is the
history of Omaha, whether it’s Jim Roberts
covering the Charles Starkweather trial. Or
Jim Flowers reporting live while chasing the
second largest tornado on record.
“So let’s make some history tonight while
we induct six outstanding journalists into the
Omaha Press Club Journalists of Excellence
Hall of Fame.”
Names of the inductees will be added
to the plaque on permanent display at the
Omaha Press Club Hall of History.
The video recorded that night by
KMTV is available on the Omaha Press
Club website and on YouTube at youtu.be/

emcee Rob McCartney.
JIM FLOWERS
Jim Flowers has been a name
in Omaha news for 37 years at
KETV, WOWT and KMTV.
Most recently the award-winning
meteorologist for KMTV News,
he left a big mark on weather
reporting.
JIM ROBERTS
Robyn Freeman accepted the
award for her late father (19281967), broadcast pioneer Jim
Roberts. He was only the second
news director in KMTV history.
Among other historical moments,
Roberts covered the Starkweather
murder rampage from Wyoming.
FRANK PARTSCH
Frank Partsch was editorial page
editor of the Omaha WorldHerald for more than 20 years
before retiring. Earlier the
respected journalist was editor
of the Sidney Telegraph and a
staff reporter for the Wall Street
Journal.
DR. MARGUERITA
WASHINGTON
Barbara Samuels of Kansas
City accepted the award for
her late aunt, Dr. Marguerita
Washington (1936-2016), who
became publisher of the Omaha
Star newspaper when her aunt,
founder Mildred Brown, died.
JOHN PRESCOTT
A strong supporter of OPC
scholarships, John Prescott’s
48-year career has taken him
from television (KMTV, KHASTV, WOWT) to a great big
rollin’ railroad (Union Pacific) to
STRATCOM.
EILEEN WIRTH PH.D.
Professor Emerita of Journalism
at Creighton University, Dr. Wirth
began her career in 1969 as an
Omaha World-Herald reporter.
She has written seven books,
including “From Society Page to
Front Page: Nebraska Women in
Journalism.”
Bill, Ruth Scott will share OPC’s 150th Face
T
he names of Bill and Ruth Scott
may not show up on buildings
around Nebraska. But the imprint
of the Omaha philanthropists is
seen throughout the state. Their personal
and foundation’s financial support has
touched more than 150 local and statewide organizations.
The Scotts will be the Omaha Press
Club’s next “Face on the Barroom Floor”
on Thursday, Sept. 22. They will be the
150th “Face” since 1971 to be honored.
A reception begins at 5:30 p.m., followed
by dinner and unveiling of the “Face,” a
caricature-illustration by artist Jim Horan.
Scheduled to roast the couple are:
•Bruce Rasmussen, Creighton University
athletic director, who will be the emcee;
•Dr. Mike Sorrell, UNMC Distinguished
Chair in Internal Medicine (the Scotts
named a UNMC building in his honor);
• Judy Duffy, longtime family friend and
former neighbor;
• Nick Stergiou, Ph.D., Distinguished
Community Research Chair in Bio-
mechanics, University of Nebraska at
Omaha;
• Terry Pettit, retired volleyball coach for
the Nebraska Cornhuskers;
• Dr. Randy Ferlic, a retired cardio-thoracic surgeon and former member of the
NU Board of Regents, who is one of Bill
Scott’s longtime golf partners.
The Scotts’ philanthropy emphasis has
been public health and education. Early
childhood education, as well as quality
out-of-school-time activities, job training and human service programs have
received support from the Scotts, who
have focused much of their philanthropy
on underserved families and individuals
statewide.
The four University of Nebraska
campuses -- UNMC, UNO, UNL and
UNK -- have been major recipients of
their financial support. Locally, Creighton
University, Metropolitan Community
College, Bellevue University, College of
Saint Mary, Omaha Public Schools, and
Children’s Scholarship Fund have benefited as well.
Other benefactors of the Scotts’ generosity include Educare, Nebraska Children
and Families Foundation, Visiting Nurse
Association, Health Center Association
of Nebraska, Project Harmony, The
Salvation Army, Collective for Youth and
all the major after-school local providers.

Daub: Hold your nose and vote in November
By Chris Allen
Education Committee
ormer Nebraska Republican Congressman and Mayor Hal Daub told
an Omaha Press Club crowd that
he thinks many Americans, both
Democratic and Republican, including
himself, will hold their noses as they cast
their presidential votes this November.
Daub, currently a University of Nebraska regent, said he believes strongly in the
two-party process and the importance of
voting in the general election Nov. 8. He
spoke on June 16 at a nearly full Omaha
Press Club Education Forum.
“To tell a kid in high school that I’m
not going to vote or mark my ballot for
president is a cop-out,” he said about
people who say they are going to avoid
the ballot box this fall.
Daub says he will vote for Donald
Trump if he is the Republican nominee. He sees no reason Trump won’t be.
“I would have had a lot more trouble
voting for Ted Cruz than I have for
F
Donald Trump,” he said, calling Trump
“a blue-collar millionaire.”
“I know where he’s coming from,” he
said. Still, he said, Trump is not a perfect
candidate. Nor is Hillary Clinton, the
presumptive Democratic nominee for
president, he said.
“I suspect many people will walk into
the voting booth like this,” he said,
pinching his nose closed.
In answer to a question about the possibility the Republican National Committee
might find a way to get around Trump as
the party’s candidate, Daub said it’s possible, but very unlikely.
Daub, who will be a delegate at the
Republican National Convention in
Photo by Gary Willis
Cleveland July 18-24, thinks Trump will
win the 2d Congressional District electoral vote in Nebraska, the district that
includes Omaha, but not because of the
candidate himself.
He said ballot issues on the death
penalty and gambling will draw more
conservatives than liberals, and that will
help Trump.
Nationwide, Daub predicted a huge
number of voters.
“I expect this to break voter turnout
records,” he said, “because of the nature
of the race. But also because I think
people are just more interested in world
events.”
Daub said each presidential campaign
will probably spend $1 billion on the
election, but in all not much is going to
change between now and then.
“If you close your ears, close your eyes,
close your mouth and go to sleep tonight,” he said, “and don’t wake up until
the day before the election, I suspect you
won’t miss much.”

Broadcasting exhibit focuses on early

he exhibit “Big Noise in the Heartland: Omaha Broadcasting” continues through spring 2017 at the
Douglas County Historical Society.
Situated on the lower level of the
General Crook House Museum, “Big
Noise” focuses on the early days of Omaha
radio and television. Among the features of the exhibit are
interviews with a variety of longtime
Omaha broadcasting personalities, including Elaine Jabenis and Jack Payne.
Former Omaha Press Club President
Dave Hamer, who had a long career in
Omaha television as a photographer and
videographer, related this anecdote from
his days at KMTV: “In the days before
videotape and satellites, NBC often called
on KMTV for film of breaking stories in
the Midwest,” Hamer said. “They would
be ‘fed’ to New York on a special AT&T
line and inserted live into ‘The
Huntley-Brinkley Report.’
“Cue the raging winter blizzard, and the
New York on-air director calls for the film
to roll. It was magnificent as the storm’s
intensity increased shot by shot. And then
the final splice broke and TV screens went
white from coast to coast. On the phone
line the Huntley-Brinkley director said,
T

‘Good job, Omaha. That last shot was terrific. I couldn’t see a thing.’ And we never
told him.”
The museum is at 5730 N. 30th St.,
No. 11b, on the Fort Omaha Campus of
Metropolitan Community College.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday
through Friday and 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday

Salute to John and

OPC Foundation
By Dave Ogden
OPC Foundation
he Omaha Press Club Foundation
expresses its gratitude to the late
Tom Davis for his years of support
for the John Davis Scholarships.
Tom Davis, son of John, funded the scholarships in honor of his father, who died in
1972. Tom died in March, but his legacy
will live on in the contributions of the 160
recipients of the scholarships that began
in 1974. That year the OPC Foundation
awarded its first John Davis Scholarships
to Toni Cornelius of Creighton University
and Sharan Wilson of UNO.
Three years later, the foundation began
offering OPC scholarships to UNL as
well as Creighton and UNO. While the
