am Bohmfalk has some good
advice for dealing with duct
tape.
“It’s all about patience and not
getting your hair in the tape,”
she said.
Bohmfalk, the assistant director at the
Hastings Public Library, was helping kids
turn duct tape into useful items during
the library’s Ductigami program Sunday
afternoon.
Dozens of kids turned out for the
event and made wallets, purses, bookmarks and more.
“We did a craft project with duct tape
last winter and the kids had so much
fun with it, they said, ‘We want to do
that again,’ ” said children’s librarian
Kathy Schultz.
Participants used provided patterns or
made up their own designs to create art
pieces completely out of duct tape.
“It’s just a fun craft with all the fun
and crazy patterns of duct tape now,”
Schultz said. “It’s not just the gray color,

More Americans hunted for bargains over the
weekend than ever before as retailers lured them
online and into stores with big discounts and an
earlier-than-usual start to the holiday shopping
season.
A record 226 million shoppers visited stores
and websites during the four-day holiday weekend starting on Thanksgiving Day, up from 212
million last year, according to early estimates by
The National Retail Federation released on
Sunday. Americans spent more, too: The average
holiday shopper spent $398.62 over the weekend, up from $365.34 a year ago.
Art and Anna Destrada from Port Chester, N.
Y., were among the holiday shoppers. They started shopping on Thanksgiving evening at a
Walmart store, went to various malls in New
Jersey on Friday, and got some deals at Macy’s
on Saturday. They spent a total of $2,000 on
gifts for themselves and others, including a Wii
videogame console, clothing and jewelry.

The tables were lined with more than
a dozen rolls of duct tape in bright colors like purple and neon green and patterns like zebra stripes and leopard spots.
Eleven-year-old Abby Cully had
planned to make a wallet completely out
of neon pink duct tape but there wasn’t
enough.
“So I had to use this pink, the zebra
pink,” she said.
The change in colors midway through
the project gave Abby a two-toned wallet

A price increase has made peanut butter a
scarcity at food banks and pantries around the
country, but Tribland charities say their donations haven’t been affected.
Peanut butter prices have gone up 30 percent
or more because hot weather in states like Texas
and Georgia hurt this year’s peanut crop, and
because some farmers switched to more profitable crops, such as corn and cotton, according
to The Associated Press.
“I know the price of peanut butter has gone
up, but people have been generous and we are
not experiencing any shortage of peanut butter,”
said Rita Johnson, secretary of the Board of
Directors for Sutton’s food pantry, The Bread
Box.
According to an Associated Press story, with a
jar of peanut butter running about $3 or $4 at
grocery stores, food banks in other parts of the
country say they expect to receive fewer donations; buy less; pay more for what they do buy;
and consider offering protein alternatives such
as canned tuna or chicken.

ROSIE G. LOSCHEN
Wilcox resident Rosie Grace
Loschen, 85, died Saturday,
Nov. 26, 2011, at her home
near Wilcox.
Services are
10:30 a.m.
Tuesday at St.
John’s
Lutheran
Church in
Wilcox with
the Rev. Mel
Loschen
Mertens officiating. Burial will be at St.
John’s Lutheran Cemetery in
Wilcox. Visitation with family
present is 5-7 p.m. today at
Jelden-Craig Funeral Home in
Hildreth.
***
Rosie’s death followed a valiant fight to recover from injuries incurred as a result of a
traffic accident that claimed
her husband of nearly 63 years
on May 12th of this year. In
the last five weeks, Rosie faced
courageously the cancer that
claimed her life Saturday.
“I have fought the good
fight, I have finished the race, I
have kept the faith. Now there
is in store for me the crown of
righteousness, which the Lord,
the righteous Judge, will award
to me on that day—and not
only to me but also to all who
have longed for his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:7, 8.
Rosie was born Sept. 26,
1926, on a farm northeast of
Macon, Neb., to Frank and Katie (Pollman) Rohnke. The Rev.
Carl Weber, pastor of Zion Lutheran Church, Macon Neb.,
baptized her on Oct. 31, 1926,
and the Rev. W. Borchardt also
of Zion, confirmed her on May
5, 1940. Rosie attended Franklin County Rural School District number 75, also known as
Lonesome Lane, through 8th
grade. She then attended
Franklin High School. She
graduated in 1944, having
passed normal training and
soon after, passed the state
teacher exams which qualified
her to teach country school.
Rosie started teaching in a
school two miles north of
Franklin, and then taught two
more years at District 25, located three miles north of Macon.
Rosie married Harold John Loschen on June 6, 1948, at Zion
Lutheran Church. They started
their married life on the farm
where Harold had lived since
the spring of 1936, and where
they continued to reside until
death.
Rosie was a loving wife,
mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, and friend. She
loved the Lord and spent
many hours studying the scrip-
tures and enjoying hymns and
songs. She spent her life on the
farm working beside her husband, living and teaching her
faith, and encouraging lifelong learning in all aspects of
life. She was the family historian, an avid gardener, bird
watcher, and exceptional cook.
She frequently reminded her
grandchildren to save their
coins and get a good education. She was a member of St.
John’s Lutheran Church in
Wilcox, where she had been
active in the choir and Lutheran Women’s Missionary League. She had faithfully served
as a Sunday School teacher and
Bible Study leader throughout
much of her life.

(Pollman) Rohnke; motherand father-in-law, John and

***
Fumiko was born in Tokyo,
Japan, on Dec. 31, 1933; her
parents were Sitwo and Awathee (Itye) Ichikawa. Fumiko
had two sisters, Yaeko and Tokiko; and one brother, Masuo.
Fumiko’s family had a hard
time during WWII when Tokyo was bombed and their
home was destroyed twice; she
was 9 years old and hungry.
She would talk about going a
week without anything to eat,
only water to drink. She never
wanted to feel those terrible
hunger pains again, or her
family to feel them. After the
war was over, she dreamed of
coming to America, as she
thought all Americans were
rich and lived in big houses
with swimming pools. She got
the chance to come to America
with her friends, James and Sugi Miagishima, who worked for
the US Army. They came to
Alamogordo, N.M., where they
worked for the Air Force at
Holloman AFB. She got a job at
the cafeteria on the base. This
is when she met George Anderson. Their first date was July
13, 1958; they were married
Oct. 31, 1958. On Aug. 6,
1959, their daughter, Irene,
was born. Shortly after Irene’s
birth, George was transferred
to Germany. Fumiko and Irene
joined George when family
housing was arranged. While
George was serving in the Air
Force, Fumiko learned to cook
a dish from the area where
they were stationed. Fumiko
was a homemaker who loved
being a mother, grandmother
and great-grandmother. They
moved to Hastings in 1994.
She enjoyed cooking, shopping, sewing and was proud to
be an Air Force wife and an
American citizen. She was loyal to her family and friends.
She loved having her grandchildren and great-grandsons
come to visit. Fumiko enjoyed
meeting her coffee friends at
Allen’s espresso bar.
Fumiko was preceded in
death by her parents; and
brother, Masuo Ichikawa

Times writer who covered
JFK assassination dies
DAVE GRAM
MONTPELIER, Vt. — On
Nov. 22, 1963, Tom Wicker was
in the first press bus following
John F. Kennedy’s motorcade
when the president was assassinated. Wicker, The New York
Times’ White House correspondent, would later write in a
memoir that the day was a
turning point for the country:
“The shots ringing out in
Dealey Plaza marked the beginning of the end of innocence.”
At that moment, however,
all he knew was that he was
covering one of the biggest stories in history. “I would write
two pages, run down the stairs,
across the waiting room, grab a
phone and dictate,” Wicker
later wrote. “Dictating each
take, I would throw in items I
hadn’t written, sometimes
whole paragraphs.”
Although Wicker didn’t even
have a reporter’s notebook that
day and scribbled all of his notes
on the backs of printed itineraries of the presidential visit, his
story captured the detail and
color of the tragic events.
Wicker died at his home in
Rochester, Vt., after an apparent heart attack Friday morning, his wife, Pamela, said. He
was 85.
“He’d been ill with things
that come from being 85,” she
said. “He died in his bedroom
looking out at the countryside
that he loved.”
Wicker grew up in poverty in
Hamlet, N.C., and wanted to
be a novelist, but pursued journalism when his early books
didn’t catch fire. He worked at
weekly and daily newspapers in
North Carolina before winning
a spot as a political correspondent in the Times’ Washington
bureau in 1960.
Three years later, he was the
only Times reporter to be traveling with Kennedy when the
president was shot in Dallas.
Gay Talese, author of the
major history of The New York
Times, wrote of Wicker’s coverage: “It was a remarkable
achievement in reporting and
writing, in collecting facts out
of confusion, in reconstructing
the most deranged day in his
life, the despair and bitterness
and disbelief, and then getting
on a telephone to New York
and dictating the story in a
voice that only rarely cracked
with emotion.”
One year later, Wicker was
named Washington bureau
chief of the Times, succeeding
newspaper legend James
Reston, who had hired Wicker
and called him “one of the
most able political reporters of
his generation.”
In 1966, Wicker began his
“In the Nation” column,
becoming, along with colleague
Anthony Lewis, a longtime liberal voice on the Op-Ed page.
Two years later, he was named
associate editor of the Times, a
post he held until 1985.
He ended his column and
retired to Vermont in 1991 but
continued to write. He published 20 books, ranging from
novels about gritty, hard-scrabble life in the South to reflections on the presidents he knew.
Among his books was “A
Time to Die,” winner of the
Edgar Allan Poe Award in 1976,
which recounted Wicker’s 1971
experience as an observer and
mediator of a prison rebellion at
New York’s Attica prison.
Wicker, the son of a railroad
man, started in journalism in
1949 at the weekly Sandhill
Citizen in Aberdeen, N.C.,
where he was paid $37.50 a
week to report on such local
news stories as the discovery of
“the first beaver dam in anyone’s memory on a local creek.”
He moved on to a local daily
and then to the larger
Winston-Salem Journal, where
he worked for most of the 50s,
with time out in 1957-58 to
serve as a Nieman fellow at
Harvard University.
Today is Monday, Nov. 28,
the 332nd day of 2011. There
are 33 days left in the year.

Sunday, making a brightly colored wallet for her mother.
Fellow returnee Zoe Emons,

isn’t as easy you might think.
“I tried to make a flower,”
she said of last year’s class. “It
didn’t work so well at all. There
were instructions but I didn’t
follow them all that well. They
were difficult.”
Johnson Bui, a member of
the library’s Teen Advisory
Board, was encountering some
difficulty, too.
“I’m trying to make a wallet
but I’m kind of confused about
what to do,” he said.
Several members of the Teen
Advisory Board attended Sunday’s
program to help out and make
their own duct tape art.
Schultz said she was pleased
with Sunday’s turnout.
“We never know how many
to plan for when we hold
events like this,” she said.
Schultz said she was glad to
see the duct tape disappearing.
“This is just fun to see them
being creative,” she said. “I don’t
think the directions are that
easy, but they do a good job.”
Shortage: Peanut butter
in ample supply here
LAURA BEAHM/Tribune
Cutting a strip of zebra-striped duct tape, Jonathan Roberts
(left) and Ben Howie work on a duct tape wallet Sunday
afternoon at the Hastings Public Library.
Food banks get cheaper prices
by buying in bulk, but the
higher cost is still noticeable.
The Cleveland Foodbank in
Northeast Ohio bought a truckload of peanut butter in June
for $12.95 per dozen 18-ounce
jars, but that rose to $18.31 by
October. If peanut butter
becomes nearly as expensive as
some meats, the latter might
provide more nutrition at nearly the same cost, food bank
president and CEO Anne
Goodman told the AP.
In Sutton, The Bread Box
officials coordinate a mobile
food pantry with Catholic
Social Services in Hastings for
the Sutton community at least
once a year. Food items in the
pantry truck are offered to the
community, and after a twohour window of operation,
anything left is donated to the
local pantry.
Johnson said that at the
most recent mobile food
pantry at Zion Lutheran
Church in Sutton, jars of
peanut butter were among the
items left over.
“We’re doing fine with our
peanut butter,” she said. “I
guess we might be the exception to the rule. I don’t know.”
The Bread Box is seeing no
shortage of donations in general, in part thanks to food drives
by the Sutton High School
chapter of Family, Career and
Community Leaders of
America and Sutton
Elementary School. The Bread
Box collectively received 1,743
pounds of food then.
Judy Young, support specialist for Catholic Social Services,
said she hasn’t seen a shortage
of peanut butter donations and
doesn’t expect that to change.
“If we need peanut butter,
people give it to us,” she said.
“I don’t believe we’ll see a
change in that. People are very
generous donating to Catholic
Social Services. I don’t see that
being a problem for us.”
Ken Spray, treasurer for the
Clay County Food Pantry’s
board of directors, said his
organization hasn’t seen a
shortage in peanut butter
donations either. He said he
could see that change if donations are influenced by rising
peanut butter costs.
“It’ll probably lag a little bit,”
he said. “I don’t doubt we’ll see
a change in it. What we give to
those people in need depends
on what we have on hand.”
Peanut butter is a popular
food item with families, Spray
said.
“It’s a great addition to any
gift box because it’s used in a
lot of things, and children love
peanut butter,” he said. “If we
have it, it’s included.”
Johnson said every box of
food The Bread Box gives
includes a jar of peanut butter
and a jar of jelly, “provided we
have them on our shelves to
give out.”
“Peanut butter has protein,”
she said. “If you’ve got children
at home you need to feed, you
can give them a peanut butter
and jelly sandwich and give
them protein. Not all protein
needs to come from meat. We
give peanut butter all the time
to make sure people have at
least one good source of protein. We give beans, too.
Peanut butter is a staple on
almost every shelf. I know it is
in my house.”
Peanut butter actually is not
that popular of a food item at
CSS in Hastings.
Young said it is given out
when people ask for it and there
is not a great demand. She
attributes that lack of demand
to the fact that peanut butter
and jelly sandwiches are included in the sack lunches CSS gives
out daily through its Open
Table Sack Lunch program.
“That may be why don’t
have as many requests as other
places,” she said.
Stores: Robust start to holiday season
LAURA BEAHM/Tribune
Janelle Albin of Hastings points to a gap in lights as her son, Tyson, helps decorate the front porch of his parents’ home
Friday morning.
Halls: Hastings residents decorate outside
the back deck, which looks out
over Lake Hastings and can be
seen from U.S. Highway 281.
“I’ve got snowflakes and we
do greenery back there,” she
said.
Janelle braved the Black
Friday sales to find the decor
she needed.
“I did go out and try to buy
a certain kind of tree, but I didn’t find it so it was a wasted
trip,” she said.
When the lights on the front
porch were finished a few minutes before 11, the family went
inside to warm up and watch
the game.
Meanwhile, on West Seventh
Street in Hastings, Jeff and
Carolyn Krueger were taking
part in their Thanksgiving
weekend ritual of hanging
Christmas decorations on their
home.
“He’s the one doing it. I just
help,” Carolyn said.
Jeff stood on his ladder and
talked as he hung brackets and
lights above the couple’s singlecar garage.
“Oh, I like wreaths and
angels and stars, stuff like
that,” Jeff said. “Nothing blowup or anything like that.”
The couple said they prefer
to stick with their simple decorations rather than adding the
inflatable lawn decorations that
have become popular in recent
years.
Even so, the couple tries to
update their collection of decorations every few years.
New last year was a flat,
light-up picture of the Nativity.
“This will be our second year
for this,” Carolyn said, holding
up the decoration. “We tried to
hang it on the big window and
it didn’t work.”
Carolyn said she decorates
the inside of the house but
leaves the creative design of the
exterior up to her husband.
“I help out. I hold the lights
or hand him stuff, whatever he
needs,” she said.
Carolyn has taken the reins
in the past — dragging out the
ladder and hanging the lights
— when her husband was deer
hunting.
But regardless of who does
the decorating, the house has
looked different each of the 17
Christmases they have lived
there.
“We never know what we’re
doing till we do it,” Jeff said. “I
just kind of feel where it goes.”
“We’ve saved for Christmas
and put away money all year,”
says Anna Destrada, 49. “We
stayed within our means so we
can make a few splurges.”
The results for the first holiday shopping weekend show
that retailers’ efforts to lure
shoppers during the weak economy are working. Some like
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and J.C.
Penney have been making a
stronger push online to better
compete with the likes of rival
Amazon.com. And major
chains like Macy’s, Target, Best
Buy extended the traditional
start to the shopping season by
opening their doors at midnight on Thanksgiving evening.

First Amendment

”
Lincoln Journal Star
The recent kerfuffle over Christmas trees shows
that our national discourse has devolved to an
abysmal level.
Christmas tree growers like Don Spilker of
Lincoln thought they were on the way to better
marketing of live Christmas trees.
They wanted to imitate promotions like the
“Got Milk?” campaign launched by the milk
industry or the “Beef. It’s what’s for dinner” campaign by the cattle industry.
Then Gretchen Carlson of “Fox and Friends”
said Nov. 9 that the Obama administration is
“Grinching 15 cents out of your pocket potentially.” In a nanosecond, conservative zealots all
across the map were claiming that President
Barack Obama wanted to put a 15-cent tax on
Christmas trees. Within a few hours, the permission for the marketing program was withdrawn by
the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
As nearly as our research was able to determine,
the fuss started with online commentary at the
Heritage Foundation website on the evening of
Nov. 8 by David S. Addington, who repeatedly
called it a “Christmas tree tax.”
He concluded, “And, by the way, the American
Christmas tree has a great image that doesn’t need
any help from the government.”
Mr. Addington, allow us to lead you out of the
overheated offices of Washington-based think
tanks into the cold reality of business competition.
In the real world, the sale of live Christmas trees is
plummeting, down from 37 million in 1991 to 31
million in 2007.
This is the challenge facing business people trying to make a buck growing live Christmas trees.
So 3 1/2 years ago, they started working on a way
to more effectively market live trees by assessing a
fee on growers — not customers, mind you. The
growers were trying to pool their own money for
an advertising campaign.
In order that the program would not burden
mom-and-pop operations, the growers exempted
businesses that sold fewer than 500 trees a year.
The growers went through the usual procedures
required by the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
including two periods for public comment. Rules
were published in the National Register on Nov. 8.
By the next day, after the onslaught of misinformation, the program was suspended by the
Obama administration.
“For me, it’s hard to understand when it had
such a long comment period time and there were
so few negative comments against positive comments,” said Spilker, who is on the board of the
National Christmas Tree Growers Association.
What happened was that ideological zealots saw
a way to zap their political opponents. They didn’t
care about the facts. They didn’t care about business people trying to earn an honest buck.
Maybe Addington and his buddies prefer fake
Christmas trees. No problem there. It’s a free
country. But they don’t have a right to use fake
facts.
Living ‘Black Ops’ fantasy on Black Friday
I
stuffed an extra bottle of pepper spray in
my coat pocket and patted myself down
to make sure I hadn’t forgotten to bring
my brass knuckles, nunchucks and a
blackjack. My fingernails were filed to
sharp points, and I wore steel-toed boots and
a Kevlar vest.
Was I totally prepared for this mission?
Would I make it back in one piece? I considered adding football pads, but they might
have caused more problems than they solved
in a tight space. I did go with wrist guards
and knee braces. I double-checked my pockets
and ran through the checklist in my head.
Good thing; I almost forgot my shopping list.
That would have been a rookie mistake — to
go Black Friday shopping without a list. On
that path lies certain death.
Full of the Black Friday spirit, I headed to
the mall. It wouldn’t be light yet for four
hours, the perfect time to scout the place, to
check the perimeter, to plan my parking, to
take the high ground before the enemy takes
the field.
Too late! The parking lot was full! And no
cars were leaving. There were cars in front of
me and behind me. None of them could park,
and none of them could leave. If I stopped for
even half a second, the horns started to blow,
followed by insults shouted out open car windows. Each time I thought I’d found a space,
it turned out to be just a very small car. How,
I wondered, were they ever
going to get a giant wall-size
TV in that dinky little thing?
Why, oh why, didn’t I think
to bring a tank? I could have
parked it on top of that little
tin can.
It took me an hour to find
a spot in Overflow Parking
Jim
Lot No. 3. Then I had to wait
Mullen
for the shuttle bus to get me
back to the mall.
By the time I got there, it looked like New
Year’s Eve in Times Square. I considered coming back the next week, but I knew I’d be taking the chance that all the good stuff would
be gone. Everyone knows the only time the
stores are full of merchandise is the day after
Thanksgiving. After that, they are totally
empty, stripped to the bare walls. When I
thought of the faces of all the disappointed
children who would get nothing if I didn’t get
inside and buy myself a 60-inch TV for 30
percent off and then spend a few bucks on
some silly trinkets for the kids on the way
out, I nearly started to cry.
Suddenly, I was filled with the true meaning of Christmas shopping. I reached under
my coat and felt for my Taser. I’d blast the
grandma pushing the stroller in front of me,
and in the ensuing panic I’d move to the
head of the line.
I pressed it into her neck and pulled the
trigger. Nothing. I forgot to charge it. It was
totally depleted. I’d forgotten how much I
must have used it working down at the collection agency. You wouldn’t believe how many
people haven’t finished paying for the stuff
they bought last Black Friday.
Grandma turned around and bit my trigger
finger while alternately kicking me in the
groin and punching my face. Grandma
turned out to be a he, and the stroller was just
a prop to gain sympathy.
It wasn’t working. The day hadn’t gone the
way he planned, either. No one seemed to
notice our little dustup; they were all on their
iPhones trying to find deals on newer and
better iPhones or squabbling among themselves for a better spot in line. This was getting out of hand. I didn’t see any store security at all.
Then it hit me — all I had to do next year
was buy a security guard’s uniform. I could
walk down the line telling people to calm
down and keep order, walk right up to the
front door as the store opened and enter in
front of all the people who had waited all
night. After all, isn’t that what Christmas is all
about?

’m not in the habit of passing along anything from the blizzard of frequently
clever, often outrageous, mostly anonymous and sometimes funny but surprisingly right-on-target Internet offerings
forwarded by friends. Most of them, I have
learned not to open.
But at the risk of being accused by my journalistic colleagues of being bereft of any fresh
ideas or taking the cheap way out of producing a column, I couldn’t resist passing this on.
In this season when we are supposed to be
thankful, many of us of a certain age can look
back and not only be unashamed but grateful
about the way we were. It is a short treatise
on the cost, as Kermit the frog might say, of
being green.
Checking out at the grocery store, the
young cashier suggested to the older woman
that she should bring her own grocery bags
because plastic ones weren’t good for the
environment.
“That’s our problem today. Your generation
did not care enough to save our environment
for future generations, including mine,” the
clerk admonished.
The customer paused, thought a moment
and then launched an eloquent defense of
her generation.
“You’re right,” she said. “Our generation
didn’t have the green thing in its day. Back
then we returned milk bottles, soda bottles
and beer bottles to the store. The store sent
them back to the plant to be washed and ster-
ilized and refilled so they
could be used over and over.
In other words, they really
were recycled. But we really
didn’t have the green thing
back then.
“We walked up stairs,
because we didn’t have an
energy-burning escalator in
Dan K.
every store and office building and we didn’t climb into
Thomasson a 300-horseposwer pollution
machine when we had to go
a mere two blocks. But we didn’t have the
green thing.
“Back then, we had one TV or radio in the
house, not a TV in every room. And the TV
had a small screen the size of a handkerchief
not one that looked like the size of Montana.
In the Kitchen we blended and stirred by
hand because most of us we didn’t have
power draining machines to do everything for
us.
“When we packaged a fragile item to send
in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or bubble
wrap. Back then we didn’t fire up a riding
mower and burn gasoline. We used a pusher
that ran on human power. We exercised by
working so we didn’t need to go to a health
club to run power consuming treadmills that
operate on electricity. But you’re right we didn’t have the green thing.
“We drank from a fountain when we were
thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bot-
tle and we refilled writing pens with ink
instead of buying a new pen when it ran out.
We replaced a dull razor blade with a new one
instead of throwing away the whole razor. But
we didn’t have the green thing.
“People took the streetcar or bus and kids
rode their bikes to school or walked instead of
turning their moms into 24-hour taxi services.
We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an
entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. We didn’t need a computerized gadget
to receive a signal beamed from satellites
2,000 miles in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.”
She finished her lesson to the startled clerk
by noting how sad it is that “your generation”
laments how wasteful “we old folks were”
because “we obviously didn’t have the green
thing back then.”
Then just as she was picking up her plastic
bags full of groceries, she stopped and looked
at the clerk. “Don’t misunderstand,” she said
in a kindly tone. “I don’t want to turn back
the clock, but just to remind you that all the
conveniences we both enjoy come with a
large price no matter what their color. Bless
your heart, dear, and have a nice day.”
So in the interest of complying with the
directions at the bottom of this missive, I am
passing it on to all the other selfish old people
who have received a lecture from a smartmouthed young person.

Howard News Service.

BSDC looks to move on from abuse
BEATRICE — The leader of the
Beatrice State Developmental
Center says he’s keeping residents’
families apprised of the latest abuse
investigation but hopes the center’s
troubles are behind it.
Chief executive officer Dan
Howell told the Daily Sun that
telling families their loved ones may
have been abused is among the
most difficult things he’s had to do
in 27 years of leading organizations.
“To sit across a dinner table or
coffee table in the living room and
tell the parents of the people we
support here that their son may
have been abused,” Howell said,
“that was a very, very challenging
week.”
Five center employees were fired
and criminally charged after a
report released in September said at
least seven residents were routinely
slapped, shoved, violently pinched,
punched, ridiculed and choked,
often until they fell unconscious.
Other workers who didn’t report
the abuse were fired or disciplined.
After the abuse came to light,
Howell traveled the state to talk
with residents’ families, and he
continues to talk with them about
progress in the investigation.
“They were angry, they were
hurt, they were questioning themselves as to why they didn’t see it
when they were on our campus or
when their loved one was home,”
Howell said. “I really have to give
each of the guardians credit
because none of them accused us of
any wrongdoing. There was just
general anger and frustration.”
The center has been dealing with
allegations of neglect and abuse for
years. A U.S. Justice Department
investigation reported about 200
cases of alleged neglect and abuse
at the center from late 2006 to late
2007, concluding it had a “cultural
undercurrent that betrays human
decency at the most fundamental
levels.”
The state promised in a settlement with the Justice Department
to provide better care at the center.
But seven months later, 18-year-old
Olivia Manes died there after
receiving what state officials
acknowledged was inadequate care
in the hours leading up to her
death. The state paid her family a
$600,000 settlement and, in
January 2009, removed 47 residents
considered medically fragile from
the center.
The 160-resident center has been
working to regain its federal certifi-

WIND CITED AS FACTOR
IN DEADLY CRASH
KEARNEY — Heavy wind may have contributed to a Nebraska crash that killed an
Illinois resident.
The Nebraska State Patrol told KOLN-TV that
66-year-old Arlyne Borja, of Skokie, Ill., was
among six people in a car that crashed Saturday
evening on Interstate 80 near Kearney. Borja
died of injuries suffered in the crash. The other
passengers were treated for minor injuries.
The patrol says the driver lost control and
the car rolled into a median. Authorities site
wind as a factor.
PAIR OF GRASS FIRES
WOOD RIVER — Firefighters have been
busy fighting a pair of wind-fanned grass fires
in the Wood River area.
Capt. Nick Lammers, of the Wood River
Volunteer Fire Department, told the Grand
Island Independen that firefighters spent about
two hours Saturday afternoon fighting the first
fire. Some area farmers were also enlisted to
help plow a fire line.
The fire burned more than 20 acres before it
was put out.
A few hours later, another grass fire was
reported in the area. It was quickly put out.
Lammers says high winds made battling the
fires difficult. The National Weather Service
reported wind gusts of 52 mph in Wood River
on Saturday.
ANTIQUE PIANO STOLEN
LINCOLN — An antique grand piano has
been stolen from the porch of a Lincoln home.
Police Capt. Michon Morrow told the
Lincoln Journal Star that the upright piano was
discovered missing Thursday morning.
The owner told officers that she had gotten
the 1893 Everett Eastlake piano a year ago but
couldn’t get it up to her second-floor apartment, so she was storing it on the unsecured
front porch.
The piano has several identifying features,
including “George H. Nelson, Feb. 14, 1927”
inscribed on the lid. Police hope they’ll be able
to recover it when the person who took the
piano tries to sell it.
ANIMAL CAUSES POWER OUTAGE
NORTH PLATTE — Businesses on the south
side of North Platte were forced to turn away customers after an animal knocked out power.
Municipal Light and Water Electric superintendent Scott Standage told KNOP-TV that a
bird or squirrel got tangled in some power lines
and took out the main breaker in a power substation. Electricity was out for about an hour
late Saturday morning.
The North Platte Telegraph reports the problems at the substation sparked a fire in some
nearby brush. The fire department’s Jeff Henkla
told the newspaper that firefighters battled the
fire for about two hours as high winds threatened to spread the flames.
Last year, a turkey got tangled in some power

rather than being certified as one
center, the state has opted to divide
it into five separate, independently
licensed facilities on one campus.
Three of the facilities have regained
federal certification, and a fourth
has had its certification visits and is
awaiting word on the outcome.
Howell said he doesn’t believe
the latest abuse investigation will
affect the process to have the fifth
facility certified.
“The area that had alleged abuse
has been closed,” he added. “I

The center has also been reviewing how it handles the reporting of

LINCOLN — The family of a
Nebraska boy who committed suicide after being teased by his peers
says schools need to adopt strong
anti-bullying measures.
Ben Lewis’ family told the
Lincoln Journal Star that the 15year-old with Asperger’s syndrome,
a mild form of autism, had always
been picked on for being different.
But the teasing got worse after the
family moved to Lincoln from
Omaha in October.
The family doesn’t blame Lincoln
schools for Ben’s death last week.
But one of his uncles, Dan Green,
said schools need to have strong
anti-bullying policies and back
them up.
“Schools preach about their commitment to strict anti-bullying policies, but what goes into the policies? What should parents do?”
Green said. “There’s got to be someone who parents can reach out to.”
Green said schools should suggest
steps parents can take to combat bullying, including referrals to outside
counselors to work with families.
Lincoln High School Principal Mike
Wortman said school officials weren’t
aware Ben was having problems.
Wortman said when officials do
learn about bullying, they talk to the
students involved and work to find
a solution. The school also spends
time trying to teach all students
how they should treat each other.
Family members said Ben had
trouble communicating because of
his Asperger’s syndrome, so even
though he’d mentioned some problems, they didn’t realize how severe
they were. Ben would quickly
change the subject when asked
about the bullying.
But during the week before his
death, Ben mentioned to his family
several times that he was being
picked on and that students in
Lincoln seemed meaner than in
Omaha. Ben and his mother had
moved to Lincoln so she could look
for work while his father continued
working construction in Omaha.
The day before he shot himself,
Ben told his grandmother that he
wanted to go home because it was
easier to deal with students at his
old high school. The next day, Ben
seemed to be happy and he went
out with his grandmother, Deanna
Bibelheimer, to run several errands,
she said. After they returned home,
he found a gun hidden on a high
closet shelf and took his own life.
Money and toys in demand for Goodfellows this season
WILL VRASPIR
wvraspir@hastingstribune.com
With less than three weeks left
until the Goodfellows campaign
distributes boxes of food and toys
to about 220 needy families in the
area, Chief Goodfellow Ryan
Murken said toys and money are
needed to ensure the success of the
program.
Friday marked the start of donations for the Goodfellows campaign, which will provide more
than 500 people with food and
toys for Christmas.
Last year, the bulk of toys collected for the program were distributed
to families with children up to 10
years old. Organizers had previously kept some toys stored for use in
later years to ensure there were
enough age-appropriate toys for
each child on the list.
“This is the first time we didn’t
really carry anything over,” Murken
said. “We’re basically starting from
zero this year.”
With the amount of toys donat-
ed in previous years, Murken
believes enough toys for each age
group will be donated to provide
children with gifts this year. He
said the clean slate allows people
in the community the opportunity to donate any items without
concern about filling a specific
need.
“We want people to be able to
donate anything they want,” he
said. “It’s a pretty wide audience
we’re reaching out to.”

Toys and cash donations are accepted

INJURED OFFICERS
LINCOLN — Police say a
24-year-old Lincoln woman
has been arrested, accused of
injuring two police officers.
Two officers were sent to an
apartment Saturday afternoon
on a call alleging domestic
assault.
Capt. Jim Davidsaver told
the Lincoln Journal Star that
a woman at the apartment
kicked and punched the officers.
The officers were treated at
the scene. One suffered a broken bone in her hand.
The woman was identified
as Margaret Langdon. She
faces two counts of assaulting
an officer, one of resisting
arrest and one of domestic
assault.
A phone listing for
Langdon could not be found.
Online court records don’t yet
list the case.
HOMICIDE VICTIM
OMAHA — Police have
released the name of man
who was pronounced dead in
the front yard of his home in
northeast Omaha.
Officers were sent to the
scene at little after 11:30 p.m.
Sunday. They found 26-yearold Lorenzo Bush, who had
been shot. Medical personnel
pronounced him dead at the
scene.
Police say Bush’s death is
being investigated as a homicide. No arrests have been
reported, and police say
detectives aren’t searching for
a suspect. A woman at the
home was being questioned.
Two children in the home
have been turned over to
social services.
BODY FOUND
MADISON — A Madison
woman has been charged with
concealing human remains
after her husband’s body was
found in their home.
The Norfolk Daily News
reports 63-year-old Jeanne Fry
was arrested Tuesday after an
officer obtained a search warrant for her camper trailer at a
Madison campground. Police
say the camper smelled of rotting flesh and the decomposing body of Jack Fry was
found under a blanket.
Fry was reported missing by
a relative in August. Police say
he died sometime in the past
few months.
Police say his wife said she
didn’t call authorities because
her prayers told her not to.
Jeanne Fry faces up to five
years in prison if convicted.
She’s being held Saturday in
the county jail on $50,000 bail.
Court records don’t list her
attorney.
RAPE CASE
OMAHA — More charges
have been filed against a man
accused of raping a Nebraska
college student.
Three counts of use of a
deadly weapon were added
this month to the list of
charges against 30-year-old
Joshua Keadle. He’d previously been charged with three
counts of sexual assault and
one count each of false
imprisonment and terroristic
threats in the alleged
Halloween 2010 rape of a
Peru State student.
Keadle, a suspended student from Swansea, S.C., has
pleaded not guilty. His trial is
set for Dec. 5 in Nemaha
County District Court.
Keadle also pleaded not
guilty in Dodge County to sexually assaulting a teen in 2008.
Both cases were filed after
Keadle’s arrest in the
December disappearance of
student Tyler “Ty” Thomas,
who hasn’t been found. No
charges have been filed.

Omaha man seeks new trial in murder case
MARGERY A. BECK
OMAHA — An Omaha man sentenced to life in prison last year for
killing his ex-girlfriend is asking the
Nebraska Supreme Court to grant him a
new trial.
Patrick Bauldwin, 47, was convicted
of second-degree murder and sentenced
last November in the February 2006
slaying of 40-year-old Pasinetta Prince.
Bauldwin insisted throughout the trial
and to the judge at his sentencing hearing that he is innocent.
Prosecutors have said that DNA evidence on Prince’s and Bauldwin’s
clothes led police to arrest him three
years after Prince was found strangled in
the basement of her home. She had also
been badly beaten.
Bauldwin’s public defender argues,
among other things, that police failed
to thoroughly investigate other men
who might have had opportunity and
motive to kill Prince. State prosecutors
point to a bevy of evidence police
amassed against Bauldwin, including
injuries Bauldwin had sustained in
what they believe was Prince’s
attempts to fight off her attacker.
The state’s high court will hear arguments in the case on Dec. 8. Douglas
County Public Defender Thomas Riley
argues that the lower court erred by
allowing Bauldwin’s statements to
police and DNA evidence. He says the
lower court also shouldn’t have
allowed a picture of Prince’s injured
larynx and tongue into evidence, and
that Bauldwin’s life sentence was
excessive.
The Nebraska Attorney General’s
office counters that none of Prince’s
arguments have merit.

Forgotten World War I-era flag remembered
PETER SALTER
Lincoln Journal Star
ADAMS — The flag was a message to
the small town.
Don’t forget: Your boys are at war.
Your boys are in harm’s way.
The women of the Red Cross sewed
more than 90 blue stars on a bed of
white, one for each young man who
said goodbye to Adams and crossed the
ocean to fight in the Great War.
Later, they turned two of those stars
gold — each for a young man who
wouldn’t return alive.
The community dedicated the flag in
the heart of June 1918, a patriotic program that started late so farmers could
put in a day’s work.
The Adams Globe extended the invitation: Our boys are at the front. Here is
one way we can show our patriotism
and love for them by raising a flag with
a star for every man in the service from
our community.
But then World War I ended, the boys
came home and the town did forget.
The flag was folded and rolled, tied with
a green string, stuffed in a box and
locked in the town safe with village
board minutes, voter lists, maps and
ledgers.
Untouched for decades.
Until this summer.
Bev Buss is an amateur historian, but
she wasn’t searching for a mystery
when she stopped by the village hall in
late July or early August.
Community Day was coming up.
Chicken barbecue, tractor pulls — and
Bev’s local history display at the
American Lutheran Church. That was
new, so she wanted a mention on the
town’s scrolling sign.
At the hall that day, they showed her
the safe they’d yanked from the old village hall.
“They said, ‘There’s all this old stuff
here. You want to go through it?”’
The safe stood more than 5 feet high,

display an almost street-width service flag dating from 1918, in Adams. The flag, discovered in an old safe, was sewn
by the Adams area Red Cross. More than 90 stars sewn on represent area men who served in World War I. The community dedicated the flag in June 1918.
weighed half a ton and didn’t come up
from the old building’s basement easily.
“Three guys couldn’t budge it,” said
Darwin Buss, the town’s maintenance
supervisor and Bev’s nephew. “We had
to pull it out with the backhoe.”
In it, Bev found bound volumes of
voter lists from the 1930s, board minutes from the 1890s to the 1980s, city
financials from 130 years ago.
“The big thing we found, of course,
was the flag.”
It was in a cardboard box labeled:
Service Flag 1918. No other explanation.
Bev took news of the discovery to the
town’s unofficial official historian.
“She was just so thrilled to see the
flag. It was amazing to her we’d found
something like that.”
Bryleta Pittam had helped Bev with
her history display. And now she
encouraged her to find the flag’s story.
Bev hit the Internet. Service flags were
introduced by an Army captain in
Cleveland, a father of two sons fighting
on the front lines in France. Two blue
stars on white, bordered by red.
The flags caught on — a quiet way for
families to pay tribute — and blue stars
were soon hanging in living room windows across the nation.
Gold stars, too, sadness stitched over
the blue if the soldier died.
But Bev didn’t find anything on community flags, no evidence of group
efforts, like her town’s. Even before she
really knew what she had, she added
the flag to her Community Day history
display.
“One particular vet, he was moved by
it. He just stood and looked and looked
at it.”
She made a handful of trips to the
State Library in Lincoln, searching for
clues in old editions of the Adams Globe.
And late last month, she found what she
needed to bring the flag back to life.
Adams was a bigger town in 1918,
she said, maybe 1,000 people. A patriotic town, too, with nearly 100 men
enlisting from the area, and dozens of
women forming a Red Cross chapter.
They raised money and sewed pajamas, hospital shirts and napkins. But
sometime before the summer of 1918,
they started stitching the flag — more
than 4 feet wide, nearly 10 feet long.
Goodfellows: Money, toys in demand this season
In addition to toys, cash
donations are needed to purchase food for the 220 families served by the program.
Murken said that is the main
purpose of the cash donations.
“Those cash donations that
allow us to purchase food is
vital to the campaign,” he
said. “Without that, the program wouldn’t be nearly as
strong as it is. (Cash donations) are absolutely vital to
what we do.”
Murken said the cash donations are budgeted to provide
the most food possible for the
campaign. While large donations are welcome, he said
even small individual donations are appreciated.
“It doesn’t have to be a
huge donation,” Murken said.
“Every little bit helps.”
Cash donations also add
flexibility to the program.
Murken said monetary
donations make it possible for
the Goodfellows campaign to
provide families with both
food and toys during the holiday. If a toy is needed for a
specific age group and hasn’t
been donated, the cash dona-
tions can be used to ensure a
toy for every child.
“It allows us to have the
flexibility to be able to do
that,” he said. “We’re unique
in that we provide both food
and toys. That’s part of what
makes Goodfellows unique
and special.”
Fabric: Woman sews quilts for troops and their families
“I think that’s how she kept
six girls busy,” Baird said of the
quilting.
In 1994, Baird and her husband, Phil, moved from
Omaha to Dodge, where she
got a job at VOGIES Quilts &
Treasures. She started as a clerk
and later became a teacher and
pattern designer. She still travels part time with VOGIES,
which has become an online
and on-the-road business.
Years ago, Baird bought a
commercial long-arm quilting
machine.
“I get paid to quilt for other
people,” she said of her profession. “There’s no shortage of
work.”
In 2007, Baird designed a
pattern for VOGIES of a
“Welcome Home Soldier” quilt.
The quilt features a home, flags
and trees.
“It started out because I have
three cousins who went to
Desert Storm from Murdock Terry, Berry and Perry Read,”
she said. “I thought about
them and my son (Nathan)
who was in the Marines and
my dad was in the Marines.”
She dedicated the design to
them. She made a quilt for a
nephew who was in the U.S. Air
Force and gave it to him at the
airport. She’s made two other
“Welcome Home Soldier” quilts
which are out in circulation.
The quilts draw lots of emotional response.
A woman at a “Threads
Across Nebraska” show in
Kearney began to cry when she
saw one of the quilts. When
someone asked if she was all
right, the woman pointed to
the quilt and said every soldier
should have one.
Baird has received emails and
phone calls from people
who’ve made quilts using her
pattern. One woman made
three of the welcome home
quilts — all in one year — for
her grandsons.
Baird also has become
involved in another project
called “Quilts of Valor.”
Started in 2003, the Quilts of
Valor Foundation is working to
make quilts for all physically
and psychologically wounded
service members from the War
on Terror. Thus far, the nationwide foundation has awarded
more than 57,000 quilts.
In 2010, Baird asked friends
if they’d help make a Quilts of
Valor display for the Dodge
125th anniversary celebration.
Friends pieced the top and she
did the quilting. Now, Janice
Ladehoff, June Vogltance and
Mary Ruskamp, all of Dodge,
and Vicky Oakley of Bellevue
have made quilts which Baird
will mail soon.
“It’s such a good feeling
when you ask your friends to
do something like this and
they’re busy, but they donate
their time and fabric without
hesitation,” she said, adding,
“Each quilt will have a label of
who did the piecing and who
did the quilting and where
we’re from. It will have as
much history as we can provide for them.”
Most recently, Baird also has
become involved in the Home
of Brave quilts, a grassroots
foundation that makes quilts
for families of fallen soldiers.
For this project, individual
quilters each made a quilt
block. An Omaha woman
assembled the quilt top. Baird
completed the machine quilting and recently sent the quilt
to another woman who will
bind it. The quilt will be presented to a family member,
typically a parent or widow,
whose loved one died.
Thus far, almost 75 Nebraska
soldiers have died in the War
on Terror. Quilters in Nebraska
have made some 50 quilts for
family members in this and
other states.
“We’re presenting 10 quilts
on Nov. 5 and eight quilts on
Nov. 12,” said Melinda
Armstrong of Bellevue, eastern
Nebraska coordinator.
The organization plans to
continue making these quilts.
Baird and her friends plan to
continue making the Home of
the Brave quilts and Quilts of
Valor.
“It’s a continuous way to
keep giving and as long as
there are people who haven’t
received one, then we’re just
going to keep donating time
and resources until everybody
has one,” Baird said.
And with each quilt, Baird
hopes to send a message.
“You want to send comfort
and appreciation and love,”
she said. “You may not know
these people, but how can you
not feel a sense of gratitude,
respect and love?”

t’s been a roller coaster season for the
young Hastings College men’s basketball team, and it’s only 10 games into
the season. There have been glimpses
of strong play and then there have
been instances where the youth is evident.
But it all came together in the second game of
the Thanksgiving Classic on Saturday when
Hastings College knocked off the No. 11
McPherson 106-105 in overtime.
Broncos head coach Lance Creech was
pleased to see his team play an efficient game.
“They were tough and resilient; I don’t
know what more to say,” Creech said. “There
were several times where it was a two-possession game and the kids got tough. We made
plays that we had to. It wasn’t the best defensive effort we've had by any stretch. But I'll
tell you what, when you rebound the ball and
take care of the ball, especially in the second
half and throughout the overtime, it’s pretty
good.”
The game came down to the wire with the
Broncos trailing 103-105 in overtime. With 14
seconds remaining, sophomore Tobin
Reinwald drove to the right, but kicked it out
to junior Dane Bacon who then made the
extra pass to an open Charles Ferguson, a 6foot-4-inch junior, in the left corner. Ferguson
rose up and buried a three to give the Broncos
a 106-105 lead. McPherson’s final shot was no
good, and the Broncos’ upset was complete.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Thirty-six years
after he was hired as an assistant basketball
coach at Syracuse University, Bernie Fine is
out of a job amid an investigation into
child molestation allegations against him.
Fine was fired Sunday night after a third
man accused him of molesting him nine
years ago.
“At the direction of Chancellor Cantor,
Bernie Fine’s employment with Syracuse
University has been terminated, effective
immediately,” Kevin Quinn, the school’s
senior vice president for public affairs, said
in a statement.
Fine, who turns 66 in December, held
the longest active streak of consecutive seasons at one school among assistant coaches in Division I. He has denied the allegations.
Zach Tomaselli, 23, of Lewiston, Maine,
said Sunday that he told police that Fine
molested him in 2002 in a Pittsburgh hotel
room. The third accuser to come forward,
Tomaselli said Fine touched him “multiple” times in that one incident.
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said he supported the university’s decision to fire his
longtime assistant and expressed regret for
his initial statements that might have been
“insensitive to victims of abuse.”
“The allegations that have come forth
today are disturbing and deeply troubling,”
Boeheim said in a statement released by
the school. “I am personally very shocked
because I have never witnessed any of the
activities that have been alleged. I believe
the university took the appropriate step
tonight. What is most important is that
this matter be fully investigated and that
anyone with information be supported to
come forward so that the truth can be
found. I deeply regret any statements I
made that might have inhibited that from
occurring or been insensitive to victims of
abuse.”
Tomaselli, who faces sexual assault
charges in Maine involving a 14-year-old
boy, said during a telephone interview
with The Associated Press that he signed
an affidavit accusing Fine following a
meeting with Syracuse police last week in
Albany.
Tomaselli’s father, meanwhile, maintains
his son is lying.
Two former Syracuse ball boys were the
first to accuse Fine, who has called the allegations “patently false.”
Bobby Davis, now 39, told ESPN that
Fine molested him beginning in 1984 and
that the sexual contact continued until he
was around 27. A ball boy for six years,
Davis told ESPN that the abuse occurred at
Fine’s home, at Syracuse basketball facilities and on team road trips, including the
1987 Final Four.
Davis’ stepbrother, Mike Lang, 45, who
also was a ball boy, told ESPN that Fine
began molesting him while he was in fifth
or sixth grade.
When the accusations first became public Nov. 17, Boeheim adamantly defended
his lifelong friend.
In an interview that day with the PostStandard, Boeheim attacked Davis’ reasons
for going public with his accusations.
“The Penn State thing came out, and the
kid behind this is trying to get money,”
Boeheim said. “He’s tried before. And now
he’s trying again. If he gets this, he’s going
to sue the university and Bernie. What do
you think is going to happen at Penn
State? You know how much money is
going to be involved in civil suits? I’d say
about $50 million. That’s what this is
about. Money.”
No one answered the door at the Fine
home Sunday. Before Fine’s firing, his
attorneys released a statement saying Fine
would not comment beyond his initial
statement.
“Any comment from him would only
invite and perpetuate ancient and suspect
claims,” attorneys Donald Martin and Karl
Sleight said. “Mr. Fine remains hopeful of a
credible and expeditious review of the relevant issues by law enforcement authorities.”

After Nick Novak missed a 53-yard
field goal, Denver’s Matt Prater
kicked a 37-yarder with 29 seconds
left, making Tebow 5-1 since he was
elevated to starting quarterback.
Tebow wasn’t watching as Novak
lined up to try the 53-yarder.
He was praying, of course.
Did Tebow ask for a miss?
“I might have said that. Or
maybe a block. Maybe all of it,” the
Denver quarterback said with a
laugh.
Whatever, it worked.
Novak pushed his kick wide right.
Tebow moved the Broncos down
the field for the kick that sent the
Chargers tumbling to their sixth
straight loss.
With that kick, there now hasn’t
been a tie in the NFL since
Cincinnati and Philadelphia ended
deadlocked at 13 on Nov. 16, 2008.
“This is a special team, a special
team when you have a bunch of
guys that when things aren’t going
good we get closer instead of
pulling apart,” said Tebow, who
grates on some people because he’s
openly religious. “The No. 1 reason
we are like that is because we
believe in each other, we believe in
the coaching staff.”
Coach John Fox believes in his
quarterback, even if Hall of Famer
John Elway, the Broncos executive
VP of football operations, isn’t totally sold on his third-down conversions and passing numbers.
“Tim has outstanding ability,”
Fox said. “He proved it at a high
level of college football in the SEC
at Florida. (The option is) something that he is comfortable with. I
think our team has adapted to it.
Right now it’s working in the run
portion of our offense. We still have
some growth to do in the pass portion.”
Tebow has been a savior for the
Broncos since Fox elevated him to
starter in the wake of his performance in a close loss to the Chargers
on Oct. 9 in Denver.
The Broncos (6-5) have won four
straight to trail Oakland by one
game in the AFC West. Additionally,
they’re 4-0 on the road under
Tebow.
Tebow led Denver from its 43
after Novak was wide right on a 53yard field goal attempt with 2:31
left in overtime. Novak made a 53yarder in the first quarter, a careerbest, and was wide right on a 48yard try early in the fourth quarter.
Tebow had a 12-yard gain and
Willis McGahee ran 24 yards up the
middle to set up Prater’s winning
kick, which was right down the
middle. McGahee finished with 117
yards on 23 carries.
Tebow, the talk of the NFL
because he runs the read option
and often struggles while passing,
carried 22 times for 67 yards — the
most carries by a quarterback in a
game since at 1950, according to
STATS LLC.
He also threw for one touchdown
and finished with a better rating

Urban Meyer hired as Ohio State coach
RUSTY MILLER
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Urban Meyer is coming back to coaching and joining beleaguered
Ohio State, ESPN reported Monday.
The sports network did not cite a source for its
report, but Meyer worked for ESPN the past year.
There are unconfirmed reports he has agreed to
a multiyear contract that will pay him almost $6
million a year.
Meyer won two national championships in six
years as the coach at Florida. He left the Gators a
year ago, citing health concerns and a desire to
spend more time with his family. Now, the 47year-old Ohioan will be returning to his roots by
becoming coach of a Buckeyes team facing
NCAA problems.
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith did
not immediately respond to a request for comment. No announcement has been set by Ohio
State, although there were reports a team meeting set for Sunday night has been moved to
Monday afternoon.
Meyer takes over a program that has been hit
by several suspensions and the forced resignation of coach Jim Tressel. The Buckeyes completed a 6-6 season under interim Luke Fickell with a
40-34 loss to rival Michigan on Saturday.
In 10 seasons as a head coach — two at
Bowling Green, two at Utah and six at Florida —
Meyer has a 104-23 record, winning three
national coach of the year awards. His teams are
7-1 in bowl games, including the Gators’ 41-14
victory over unbeaten and top-ranked Ohio
State in the 2007 Bowl Championship Series title
game. They are also 4-0 in BCS bowl games.
Meyer had persistently denied all the talk surrounding him and Ohio State. Soon after Tressel
was pressured to resign, Meyer said he wasn’t
interested in leaving ESPN, where he was a college football analyst.
“I am committed to ESPN and will not pursue
any coaching opportunities this fall,” he said in
a statement released the day after Tressel lost his
job. Just last week he said no job had been
offered to him nor was he pursuing one.
His comments came amid weeks of speculation
he was Ohio State’s first choice to take over a program that has a glittering past but has faltered
over a troublesome last 12 months.
He inherits a program still facing NCAA sanctions. But he also inherits a young team led by a
freshman quarterback, Braxton Miller, who would
seem to be a perfect fit for his spread offense.
A native of Ashtabula, Ohio, Meyer becomes
the 24th head coach at Ohio State. He succeeds
Fickell, who took over last spring when Tressel’s
10-year reign came crashing down. Tressel was
forced out for knowing but not telling his superiors that Buckeyes players had most likely broken
NCAA rules by taking cash and free or discounted tattoos from the subject of a federal drug-trafficking investigation.
Tressel was forced to resign on May 30.
Missing several top players because of NCAA suspensions stemming from the tattoo mess, the
Buckeyes were hit with more suspensions when
three players accepted $200 in cash for attending
a charity event and others were forced to sit out
or had their existing suspensions extended for
being overpaid for summer jobs.
Ohio State’s .500 record marked the most losses at Ohio State since John Cooper’s 1999 team
also went 6-6 overall and 3-5 in the Big Ten.
The Buckeyes had already lost their string of
six Big Ten titles when the school was forced to
vacate the 2010 season for the NCAA violations.
The school has also self-imposed two years of
NCAA probation, offered to return $339,000 in
bowl revenue from 2010 and to give up five
scholarships over the next three seasons.
Ohio State is awaiting final word from the
NCAA’s committee on infractions. The committee
tagged Ohio State with a “failure to monitor” label
— second only to a lack of institutional control on
the list of most egregious charges against a university. The school could still be hit with a bowl ban,
a loss of more scholarships, or other penalties.
At the time of his retirement — after being
taken to a hospital, dehydrated and complaining
of chest pains — Meyer said, “After spending
more than two decades motivating and celebrating the young men I’ve been so proud to coach,
I relish the opportunity to cheer for my three
terrific kids as they compete in their own respective sports. I know how fortunate I am to be in a
position to make this choice.”
He and his family celebrated Thanksgiving at
their Florida home.

HC: Broncos pull off upset at home
Continued from page B1
he knew it felt good.
“(I was thinking) please go in,
please go in — and it felt pretty
good,” said Ferguson, who finished
with five points. “I’ve been changing my shot a little bit this season,
and the coaches have been working
with me. It felt good coming out of
my hand. I was pretty confident in
my shot at the time.”
Ferguson wasn’t the only Broncos
player who was confident the shot
was going in. Reinwald, who finished with a game-high 39 points
and eight rebounds, said Ferguson
was the right guy for the shot.
“It was the best shot that we
could take on the floor at that
time,” Reinwald said. “I drove as far
as I could and skipped the ball over
to Bacon, and he made a great pass
to (Ferguson). We have confidence
in each other and everything to
knock down that shot.”
Creech said the situation was
ironic because of a text messaging
conversation he had with Ferguson
the night before. Creech said he
was joking with Ferguson that anytime he wanted to make a shot he’s
welcome to do so. Ferguson just
replied with, “I will be better
tomorrow, I promise.”
Hastings College trailed the
Bulldogs through most of the game,
but for the final nine minutes the
two teams were essentially trading
buckets for the lead. With 16 seconds left and the game tied 89-89,
Reinwald hit a three-pointer to give
the Broncos the lead. McPherson
senior guard Aaron Frazier got the
long offensive rebound from a
missed three and sent the game into
overtime with a three of his own.
The situation was similar to one
Hastings College faced in the first
game of the holiday classic. The
Broncos were up three with a little
time left when Creech elected to
have his team foul before Tabor
could shoot a three. HC won that
game 70-68. But Creech thought
there was too much time remaining
after Reinwald’s three to foul
McPherson.
“There was more time on the
clock (against McPherson). The
thing you don’t want to have happen is foul and potentially give up
the offensive rebound,” Creech
said. “Last night there was about 7
seconds when we elected to foul on
that one. In hindsight I’d be
cussing myself saying we should’ve
fouled if we would have lost, but
sometimes it’s a little better to be
lucky than good.”
Early in the game, it became evident that McPherson was signifi-
cantly quicker than the Broncos
defense. But Alex Thayer, a freshman from Superior, stepped up and
provided Hastings College with a
spark on defense.
“He’s quick,” Creech said. “He’s
quick and he’s a heady basketball
player. We just had to make a
change and it’s a team thing that
our upperclassmen understood, and
they took their role accordingly.”
Thayer said: “I knew coming in
the only way I was going to be able
to see the floor is to give a good
effort and play some good defense.
I just went in there and did the best
I could, and I worked out, I guess.”
The Broncos’ victory gave
McPherson its first loss of the season and avenged an 87-82 loss earlier this season. Reinwald finished
7-of-9 from three-point range and
hit all eight of his free throws, but
it was his two turnovers that
Creech was most proud of.
Sophomore Brady Lollman recorded 17 points and five assists, and
junior Jake Marvin added 15 points.
Reinwald said everybody on the
team stepped up and filled their roll
in the victory. He said it came
down to making the winning plays,
and that’s something the Broncos
did all night. Creech said the win
should give HC momentum head-
ing into Wednesday’s rivalry game
against Doane.
“We’re just really one of those
young teams you have to take it
step-by-step and slowly but surely,”
Creech said. “We have a tough test
on the road against Doane
Wednesday, and that’s a big-time
rival for us. We have to figure out a
way to translate these things into
conference wins because we do not
have very many conference opportunities left. You just have to build
on the positive and try and correct
the negative.”

Brady, Patriots rout Eagles 38-20
ROB MAADDI
PHILADELPHIA — Tom Brady
saw running lanes, tucked the ball
and took off scrambling.
That’s no misprint.
Brady threw for 361 yards and
three touchdowns and the New
England Patriots beat the
Philadelphia Eagles 38-20 Sunday
in a rematch of the 2005 Super
Bowl.
Picking apart defenses is nothing
new for Brady. But the most
impressive number on the stat
sheet was his rushing total. On a
field where Michael Vick is usually
the one making dazzling plays with
his legs, Brady ran for 28 yards. It
was his second-highest total. Brady
had 31 yards on the ground against
Jacksonville in Dec. 2006, two years
before knee surgery left him even
slower than he was.
“Yeah that’s a rarity,” Brady said.
“There’s just a few times where I
felt it opened up in the middle and
I just took off. I’m not moving very
fast, they’re converging pretty
quickly, so I just got down there as
fast as I could.”
Filling in for the injured Vick for
the second straight game, Vince
Young couldn’t keep Philadelphia’s
fading playoff hopes alive despite
passing for a career-best 400 yards.
The AFC East-leading Patriots (83) stayed in the hunt for the No. 1
seed in the conference behind a
surgical-like effort from Brady.
The six-time Pro Bowl quarterback finished 24 of 34, Deion
Branch had 125 yards receiving and
Wes Welker caught eight passes for
115 yards and two TDs. Brady’s
favorite targets, tight ends Rob
Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez,
also chipped in.

HC WOMEN DOWN NO. 17 STERLING
STERLING, Kan. — The Hastings College
women's basketball team topped its fourth top
25 opponent this season Saturday as the
Broncos defeated NAIA Division II. No. 17
Sterling 59-55.
HC coach Jeff Dittman said the game was
tied with about five minutes left to play when
Hastings pulled away down the stretch and
improved to 7-0 on the season. The loss knocks
Sterling to 3-2 on the season.
Tanasia Uhrig led Hastings with 18 points as
she connected on 4-of-8 3-point attempts.
Laurel Zwiener and Alicia Statler both finished
with 12 points. Statler was 5-for-6 from the
floor and Zwiener was 5-for-10 from the floor.
"We had a couple of key offensive rebounds
down the stretch and I thought we did a nice
job getting some second chance points,"
Dittman said. "We also had a couple of oldfashioned 3-point plays thrown in there down
the stretch.
"I thought Sterling played very well, they
really got after it. This was a win that we had to
scratch and claw for. I'm very pleased to come
out of there with the win."
The Broncos finished with 16 offensive
rebounds in the win and held Sterling to just
39 percent shooting for the game.
Hastings returns to action Wednesday for the
team's second conference game of the season.
Doane hosts Hastings at 6 p.m.

Fine: Long-time Syracuse assistant coach fired
Tomaselli said the scandal at Penn
State involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky prompted
him to come forward. Sandusky is
accused in a grand jury indictment of
sexually abusing eight boys over a 15year period.
Amid the child sex-abuse scandal,
Penn State’s trustees ousted longtime
football coach Joe Paterno and university President Graham Spanier. The
trustees said Spanier and Paterno,
who is not the target of any criminal
investigation, failed to act after a
graduate assistant claimed he saw
Sandusky sexually abusing a young
boy in a campus shower in 2002.
Former school administrators Tim
Curley — who is on administrative
leave — and Gary Schultz are charged
with not properly alerting authorities
to suspected abuse and with perjury.
They maintain their innocence.
“It was the Sandusky stuff that
came out that really made me think
about it,” Tomaselli said in the phone
interview. “A lot of people were slamming ESPN and Bobby for saying anything. I wanted to come out. ... It
made me sick to see all that support
for Fine at that point. I was positive
he was guilty.”
Tomaselli told the Post-Standard
that he didn’t ask Syracuse police or
federal authorities for help in getting
the criminal charges dismissed against
him in Maine.
Tomaselli was arrested in April on
11 warrants charging gross sexual
assault, tampering with a victim, two
counts of unlawful sexual contact,
five counts of visual sexual aggression
against a child and unlawful sexual
touching and unlawful sexual contact, Lewiston police said Sunday.
They did not say what led to the
charges. He has pleaded not guilty.
Tomaselli told the Post-Standard he
met Fine after he and his father, Fred,
attended a Syracuse autograph session
on campus in late 2001.
The newspaper reported that Fine
later called Tomaselli’s parents to
arrange for Tomaselli to go to
Pittsburgh with the athletic department staff on a chartered bus, spend
the night in Fine’s hotel room and
attend the team’s game on Jan. 22,
2002.
Tomaselli told the Post-Standard
that he had dinner with the team,
then returned to the hotel room
where he accused Fine of putting porn
on the TV and fondling him in bed.
Tomaselli attended the basketball
game the next day, sitting several
rows behind the bench, and rode the
chartered bus back to Syracuse, the
newspaper reported.
“The one time there was multiple
incidents in that one night, but there
was only one night that he ever sexually abused me,” Tomaselli told the
AP.
However, during a phone interview
with the AP, Fred Tomaselli said: “I’m
100 percent sure that Bernie Fine was
never in contact with Zach. He never
went to Pittsburgh to a game, never
been to that arena.”
“I brought him to a couple of
games in Syracuse. We always sat in
the nosebleed section and left after
the game. He never stayed for any
overnighters and never even got
within shouting distance of Bernie.”
During his long career with
Syracuse, Fine tutored the likes of
Derrick Coleman, LeRon Ellis and
John Wallace in his role of working
with post players. Coleman was the
top pick in the 1990 NBA draft, Ellis
was the Clippers’ 22nd overall choice
in 1991, and Wallace was picked 18th
in 1996 by the New York Knicks.
Boeheim and Fine met at Syracuse
University in 1963, when Fine was
student manager of the basketball
team. Fine graduated in 1967 with a
degree in personal and industrial relations and went into business for himself.
In 1970, Fine was named basketball
and football coach at Lincoln Junior
High in Syracuse and went to
Henninger High School the next year
as the junior varsity basketball coach.
He became varsity basketball coach in
1975. When Boeheim was chosen to
succeed Roy Danforth at Syracuse in
1976 Boeheim offered Fine a job as an
assistant.
Fine was an integral part of the staff
that guided Syracuse to the national
championship in 2003. During his
tenure the Orange also made two
other appearances in the NCAA title
game, losing in 1987 to Indiana and
in 1996 to Kentucky. He also guided
the U.S. Maccabiah team to a silver
medal at the 1993 World Maccabiah
Games in Israel and has served as
director of a successful basketball
camp in the Northeast.
The Post-Standard also reported
that Zach Tomaselli was invited by
Fine to a party at his home after the
Syracuse-Pitt game on Feb. 1, 2003 —
a game where Zach Tomaselli said
Fine arranged seats for him and his
father several rows behind the bench.
Tomaselli told the newspaper his
father, who was unable to attend the
party, allowed him to go to Fine’s
house and stay the night.
While there, Tomaselli told the AP,
Fine asked him to get into bed and
that Fine’s wife, Laurie, was there
when it happened.
“I told them (police) that Laurie
was standing right there when Bernie
asked me to sleep in a bed. Laurie
knew all about it,” he said during the
phone interview.
On Sunday, ESPN played an audiotape, obtained and recorded by Davis,
of an October 2002 telephone conversation between him and Laurie Fine.
Davis told ESPN he made the
recording, which also has been given
to Syracuse police, without her
knowledge because he knew he needed proof for the police to believe his
accusations. ESPN said it hired a voice
recognition expert to verify the voice
on the tape and the network said it
was determined to be that of Laurie
Fine.
Davis also acknowledged in an
interview with ESPN that he and
Laurie Fine had a sexual relationship
when he was 18, and that he eventually told Bernie Fine about it.
“I thought he was going to kill me,
but I had to tell him,” Davis said. “It
didn’t faze him one bit.”
During the call to the woman,
Davis repeatedly asks her what she
knew about the alleged molestation.
“Do you think I’m the only one
that he’s ever done that to?” Davis
asked.
“No ... I think there might have
been others but it was geared to ...
there was something about you,” the
Steelers’ D holds on for 13-9 win over Chiefs
DAVE SKRETTA
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The way quarterback Ben Roethlisberger sounded
Sunday night, the Steelers not only should
have lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, they
shouldn’t be allowed to show their faces
in Pittsburgh any time soon.
The Steelers eked out a 13-9 victory
over a team that has now lost four
straight, and if not for an interception by
Keenan Lewis with 29 seconds remaining,
could well have lost. But the fact
remained that Pittsburgh came out on
top, and is still tied with Baltimore atop
the AFC North.
“It’s tough,” Roethlisberger said,
“because it’s a mixed feeling type of thing:
You’re happy to get the win, but you’re
disappointed the way the offense played. I
think that’s what team’s all about. The
defense stepped up huge today.”
Yes, things may have been miserable for
Pittsburgh on offense, but clearly Big Ben
wasn’t giving enough credit to the guys
on the other side of the ball.
The Steelers picked off Chiefs quarterback Tyler Palko three times and recovered
a fumbled snap, despite playing most of
the way without star safety Troy Polamalu,
who experienced concussion-like symptoms after banging his head into the knee
of a Chiefs player while making a tackle.
All those miscues kept Kansas City out of
the end zone for the second straight week.
“It was a situation where we didn’t feel
like Palko could get it over our heads,”
safety Ryan Clark said. “The play Keenan
made at the end, that’s a signature play
for him and for our defense.”
Roethlisberger finished 21 of 31 for 193
yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Steelers (8-3), despite playing
with a broken thumb on his throwing
hand that hurt the whole game.
“Absolutely not,” he said. “It was not
comfortable.”
Roethlisberger proved that he’s better
than Palko with one good hand, though.
The journeyman quarterback, making
his second consecutive start in place of
the injured Matt Cassel, fared little better
than he did last week against New
England, when he tossed three picks in his
first NFL start. Palko finished 18 of 28 for
167 yards and four big turnovers.
The Chiefs claimed former Broncos
quarterback Kyle Orton off waivers
Wednesday with the intention of having
him compete with Palko for the starting
job, a competition that might already be
over. Orton didn’t arrive in town until
Friday, so he didn’t have time to learn the
playbook before Sunday night.
“He’ll have a much better chance this
week to compete,” Chiefs coach Todd
Haley said, “and like I said, Tyler is the
starter, but whatever position we say, if
someone gives us a better chance to win,
that’s the guideline we generally follow.”
Kansas City led 3-0 in the second quarter when Palko’s first interception, which
Ike Taylor returned to the Chiefs 8, resulted in a 21-yard field goal by the Steelers’
Shaun Suisham.
The second pick was returned by Ryan
Mundy, who had taken over at safety for
Polamalu, to the Kansas City 24. The
defense appeared to hold Pittsburgh when
Chiefs linebacker Tamba Hali sacked
Roethlisberger on third-and-7, but safety
Jon McGraw was called for defensive
holding to give the Steelers a first down.
Three plays later, Roethlisberger found
Weslye Saunders in the back of the end
zone.
“He was kind of one of the last
options,” Roethlisberger said. “I saw Wes
coming in the back of the end zone, he’s
kind of a big target, so I just kind of threw
it up to him.”
Ryan Succop added a 49-yard field goal
later in the second quarter for Kansas City,
his second of the game, but Suisham
answered with his own 49-yarder on the
final play of the first half.
Succop added a 40-yard field goal with
6:11 left in the fourth quarter.
Polamalu left the game in the first quarter when he tackled 290-pound Chiefs
offensive tackle Steve Maneri, who had
caught a pass in the flat after lining up in
the backfield.
The reigning Defensive Player of the
Year hit his head hit Maneri’s knee and
crumpled to the turf, where he lay while
trainers came out to check on him.
Polamalu was a bit wobbly when he stood
up and coach Mike Tomlin said after the
game that he was experiencing “concussion-like symptoms.”
Roethlisberger showed little evidence of
the broken thumb that caused him to be
somewhat limited in practice, hitting 10
different receivers. He got some help from
Rashard Mendenhall, who ran for 57
yards, and a defense that kept giving the
Pittsburgh offense prime field position.
The Steelers squandered a promising
opportunity in the first quarter, driving
inside the Chiefs 10-yard line. Backup running back Mewelde Moore had the ball
poked out by Hali and it was recovered by
Javier Arenas in the end zone for a touchback.
Kansas City gave the ball right back when
Palko fumbled the snap moments later.
Pittsburgh also had a decent drive end
midway through the scoreless third when
Roethlisberger underthrew Antonio Brown
down the sideline. Kansas City safety
Travis Daniels swooped in to make the
interception, but the Chiefs’ bumbling
offense couldn’t capitalize.
That wound up being the story of the
game.
“We’re excited about winning — and
winning on the road — and making the
necessary plays,” Tomlin said. “We produced turnovers tonight, and that was big
for us.”
Notes: Kansas native Martina McBride
sang the national anthem. Modern
Family’s Eric Stonestreet, who attended
Kansas State, threw the ceremonial first
pass. ... Steelers C Maurkice Pouncey left
in the first half with an illness.
Tebow: Tebow finds a way to win
than Philip Rivers, 95.4 to 77.1. Rivers
was pressured all day by Elvis Dumervil,
who had two sacks, and rookie Von
Miller, who had one.
Novak didn’t have an explanation for
his OT miss.
“I had a good warmup and hit that ball
pretty decent,” he said of the 53-yarder
he kicked in the first quarter. “When you
make the first kick of the game from 53,
it gives you a lot of confidence for the
next kicks to come.”
The Chargers (4-7) are on their longest
streak since ending 2001 with nine
straight defeats and are last in the division, three games behind Oakland with
five to play.
“There’s nothing I can say to make it
sound good,” Rivers said. “It’s about as
rough as it gets.”
San Diego’s Ryan Mathews, who was
having the best game of his two-year
career, was on the sideline for the crucial
possession when Novak missed. Fullback
Mike Tolbert was thrown for a 4-yard loss
the play before Novak missed.
Turner didn’t have an explanation for
what happened.
“He came out and I don’t know why he
came out,” Turner said. “We’re in the
middle of the drive. I assumed when he
came out that he came out for a play and
then he didn’t go back in.”
Mathews ran 22 times for a career-high
137 yards.
Tebow had two nice completions in
leading the Broncos to the tying score,
Prater’s 24-yard field goal with 1:34 to go
in regulation.
Rivers was 19 of 36 for 188 yards.
Tebow was 9 of 18 for 143 yards.
The Chargers took a 10-0 lead midway
through the second quarter when Rivers
hit Antonio Gates on a 6-yard scoring
pass in the back of the end zone to cap a
15-play, 91-yard drive.
Tebow threw an 18-yard TD pass to Eric
Decker just before halftime to pull to 107.
Novak kicked a 25-yard field goal early
in the third quarter. Denver had a long
drive later in the quarter before Prater
kicked a 41-yard field goal to pull to 1310.
Notes: It was Mathews’ third career
100-yard game, all against Denver. ...
Broncos CB Cassius Vaughn injured an
ankle in the first quarter and didn’t
return. ... Injured Chargers were LG
Brandyn Dombrowski (foot), TE Kory
Sperry (ribs), LB Na’il Diggs (chest) and
Corey Liuget (tibia).
woman on the tape said.
On the tape, she also says she knew
“everything that went on.”
“Bernie has issues, maybe that he’s
not aware of, but he has issues. ...
And you trusted somebody you
shouldn’t have trusted ... “
During the call, Davis tells her he
asked her husband in the late 1990s
for $5,000 to help pay off his student
loans.
“When he gave you the money,
what does he want for that?” she
asked.
He tells her that Fine wanted to
engage in sexual activity in several
ways.
“... And I’d try to go away, and he’d
put his arm on top of my chest. He
goes, ‘If you want this money, you’ll
stay right here,”’ Davis said.
“Right. Right,” she said. “He just
has a nasty attitude, because he didn’t
get his money, nor did he get what he
wanted.”
In an email to the Syracuse
University community, Cantor said
that taped phone call was not given
to the school by Davis during its 2005
investigation.
On Friday, federal authorities carried out a search at his Fine’s suburban Syracuse home but declined to
comment on what they were looking
for.
New York State Police spokesman
Jack Keller said troopers were called to
assist the U.S. attorney’s office at the
search. At least six police vehicles
were parked on the street during the
search, which lasted around nine
hours. Officers carted away three file
cabinets and a computer for further
examination.
Carolina fires Maurice amid
rough start to season
RALEIGH, N.C. — The last-place Carolina Hurricanes fired
coach Paul Maurice on Monday — the second time he’s been dismissed by the club.
The team announced the firing in a statement and said it would
announce a new coach later in the day.
Carolina dropped to 8-13-4 this season following Sunday
night’s 4-3 loss at Ottawa and has lost 10 of its last 13 games,
including three straight. The Hurricanes are last in the Southeast
Division and 14th in the Eastern Conference, and begin a threegame homestand Tuesday night against division leader Florida.
Carolina ranks 28th in the league in goals allowed, giving up an
average of 3.24, and has one of the worst power-play units in the
NHL, scoring on just 12.2 percent of its chances with the man
advantage.
Maurice, who helped shepherd the club’s move from Hartford
to North Carolina in the late 1990s, returned to the Hurricanes in
December 2008 when Peter Laviolette was fired. He guided their
run to the 2009 Eastern Conference final, the club’s only playoff
appearance since they won the Stanley Cup in 2006.
Before that, they hadn’t reached the postseason since Maurice
led them to the 2002 Stanley Cup final — the highlight of his first
stint with the team.
The 44-year-old Maurice received a three-year contract in 2009
that ran through this season. His combined record with the team
was 384-391-145, and his career record of 460-457-167 includes
two years with Toronto sandwiched by his stints with Carolina.
He was first fired by Carolina in 2003-04 following an 8-14-8-2
start.

Fiance’s adult son is short
on money, long on demands
D
EAR ABBY: My fiance
and I plan to be married
in the coming year. It
will be the second marriage for
both of us. My
intended has
an “adult” son
I’ll call “Jeff,”
who graduated from college last year
and makes
good money.
His father has
helped him
Dear Abby
out by paying
his tuition, car loan, rent, a
generous allowance and various other loans that have never
been repaid.
Jeff comes up short almost
every month because he blows
his money on vacations, clothing, electronic gadgets, etc., so
he needs $500 to $1,000 to
“get on his feet.” If his father
refuses, Jeff resorts to namecalling and emotional blackmail.
I earn a good living and have
a tidy nest egg, and I’m concerned that Jeff’s irresponsibility and his father’s enabling will
put a comfortable retirement
for us in jeopardy. I feel like
this is my business, too — but I
don’t want to come between
father and son. What’s your
advice? — THRIFTY IN
WYOMING
DEAR THRIFTY: Your concerns are legitimate. Your
fiance is doing his son no
favors by footing the bills for
his irresponsible behavior. But
on some level he already
knows that and may be doing
it because he feels guilty about
the divorce from Jeff’s mother.
Before marrying your fiance,
discuss this with an attorney to
be sure your interests will be
protected. The assets you accumulated before the marriage
should be kept separate, and
there should be a clear understanding that any monies you
earn will not benefit his son,
who appears to be a bottomless
pit.

DEAR ABBY: My husband
and I divorced several years ago
because of his cocaine habit.
He had been taking money
from our accounts, etc.
After our divorce I met someone. It was several months
before I agreed to a date. He’s
honest, fun, good-looking,
hardworking and helps my
family when he can. My problem is on our first date he told
me he’d been a drug user and
had spent time in prison. He
said that was in the past. He
got counseling, loves his new
life and would not break the
law again.
My children know about his
past and say, “It’s no big deal;
it’s the 21st century.” We date,
nothing more, but he alludes
to wanting to propose. I’m
afraid that when my parents
and people in my small town
find out about his past, they’ll
be shocked and I’ll be
shunned. I can’t believe this is
an issue in my life again.
Is it OK to date an ex-drug
addict? Do some people beat
the odds and stay clean? I’m
scared that maybe I should
have run away after that first
date. Please advise. — WAITING FOR THE OTHER SHOE
TO DROP
DEAR WAITING: What did
this man go to prison for? Was
he selling drugs to support his
habit? Stealing? Did he commit
a violent crime?
While your children may
think his past is “no big deal,”
it IS a big deal. However,
whether it’s a deal-breaker is up
to you. If you had thought so,
it would have been over after
he mentioned he’d had the
same problem as your ex-husband.
Some former addicts stay
clean. Others have been known
to backslide. If you love this
man and he maintains his
sobriety, consider his proposal
sometime in the future. But I
see no reason for you to rush
into anything — do you?

Outgrown or worn jeans can be
used to make something new. Rather
than throw them away, create a gift
for the holidays, or donate them for
others to reuse. Here are a few ideas:
Purse: Make a purse from the pockets. You simply cut the pocket out
and glue, then use a safety pin or
Velcro to attach the leg seams, beading or ribbon for the purse handle.
One reader, S.W. from Missouri,
shares: “I made denim purses to give
away as goodie bags for my daughter’s party. Each girl received a personalized purse with a candy bar, hair
accessories and a push pencil inside.
The girls loved them! I even had
other girls at my daughter’s school
asking me if they could pay me to
make them one.”
Denim book cover: Made much
like a brown-bag textbook cover, this
makes a cute gift idea for the student
in your life. Don’t forget to glue on
the pocket — it’s perfect for holding
pencils. For a tutorial visit: margotpottertheimpatientcrafter.blogspot.com/2
009/09/i-love-to-create-recycleddenim-book.html. You can slip a bit
of ribbon underneath the pocket
before you glue it and use it as a tie
enclosure, too.
Pillow: Cut off the legs, sew the
openings and use the zipper to stuff
the pillow. Another reader, Kim from
Florida, shares: “You can make a nosew pillow easily. Use a pair of jeans,
two rubber bands, cotton batting and
decorative ribbon. Cut one of the legs
off the jeans. Cut off the bottom hem
of the leg so both ends are frayed.
Secure a rubber band tightly about
four inches from the end. Stuff the
pantleg from the open end, leaving
four inches of unfilled space at the
top. Put the other rubber band on
this end and secure it tight. Cut two
lengths of ribbon to the desired
length, wrap one ribbon around each
rubber band and tie as desired.”
Denim bibs: Trace the outline of
one of your own snap-on bibs onto

the jeans. Cut it out, then add a snap
or Velcro. For a tutorial, visit: thimblythings.com/2009/06/01/in-praise-ofdenim-bibs/.
Clothespin holder: Take an old pair
of blue jeans and cut off the legs. Sew
the holes completely shut, leaving
the waist open. Cut a canvas belt into
two strips. Now, sew the strips like
suspenders to the jeans. Hang it on
your clothesline using a coathanger.
You can also sew the strapping
together under the hanger to keep it
from falling off. This works well with
toddler overalls, too.
Cell phone case: Use two pockets
from a pair of toddler jeans. Leave
extra material above one pocket to
fasten the top pocket, which will
serve as the flap, to the bottom pocket. The pockets can be sewn together
or glued using fabric glue. One pocket
holds the phone, the other pocket
works as a flap to close the case. For a

Best bridge
books from
this year
NewsMakers
A
s we approach the
holiday season,
let’s look at some
of the recently
published bridge
books that might appeal to
the player on
your gift list.
“The
Rodwell
Files” by Eric
Rodwell with
Mark Horton
(Master
Point Press)
won the best
Phillip
book of the
Alder
year award
from the
International Bridge Press
Association.
In nearly 400 pages,
Rodwell, one of the greatest
players of all time, reveals
how he thinks about the
game, using many examples.
This deal from the book
contains important points. It
arose during the semifinal
between China and the
United States at the 2009
Bermuda Bowl in Brazil.
One club showed 16-plus
points. Double promised 5 to
8 points.
Against three no-trump,
Nick Nickell, West, led his
fourth-highest heart. Declarer
won in the dummy and ran
the spade jack, which held
the trick. Then, being greedy,
he ran dummy’s spade 10.
West produced his king and
returned his remaining spade.
South won and played a
heart, but West took his ace
and shifted to a club. Ralph
Katz, East, won with his ace
and cashed two spade tricks
for down one.
Here are the key points: (1)
Do not always assume that
because a finesse worked
once, it will work again. (2) If
declarer is taking a losing
finesse that you think he will
repeat, duck on the first
round. (3) Count your winners. When South won the
second trick, he could have
led a heart to guarantee nine
tricks via two spades, two
hearts and five diamonds.

This Nov. 3 photo shows a copy of the new children’s book,
“Sammy in the Sky,” in Portland, Maine. The story was written by Barbara Walsh and illustrated by Jamie Wyeth.
Book aims to help kids
cope with loss of a pet
DAVID SHARP
PORTLAND, Maine —
First there was Marley, the rambunctious Labrador retriever
whose death brought readers to
tears in John Grogan’s “Marley
and Me.” Now there’s Sammy,
a mixed-breed hound who’s
the subject of another tear-jerker, a children’s book, “Sammy
in the Sky.”
When her beloved hound
dog died, Pulitzer PrizeWinning journalist Barbara
Walsh watched her young
daughters tearfully struggle
with their loss and with tough
questions. Walsh quickly realized there was a story to be
told, one that she hopes will
help other families deal with
the loss of a pet.
But it wasn’t easy getting the
book published, even after
Walsh enlisted celebrated
American artist Jamie Wyeth to
fill the pages with illustrations
in watercolor, acrylic and pencil.
Book agents and publishers
were squeamish about the subject matter, yet Walsh and
Wyeth didn’t want to sugarcoat
the pain and sorrow that
unfolds in “Sammy in the Sky.”
“Agents didn’t want to go
near this book. They said, ‘It’s
too sad, it’s too real,’ ” Walsh
recalled.
“That’s my point. There’s
nothing else like this out
there.”
Sammy, a mixed-breed
hound, became the family’s
first pet, purchased from a dog
pound for $30 by Walsh’s husband, Eric Conrad, while they
were living in Florida. Sammy
became a cherished family
member, earning Eric’s oftrepeated moniker, “the best
hound dog in the world.”
The hound showed love and
patience. He licked Emma’s
cheeks when Barbara and Eric
brought her home from the
hospital. He slept next to her
crib.
“She’d play doctor and wrap
him in bandages and put bonnets on his head. He would just
sit there. She used to sleep on
him. He was her pillow,” Walsh
said. “He was this amazing,
gentle hound who looked after
her. And she considered him to
be her best friend.”
As pet owners know, all good
things must come to an end.
The family, by now living in
Cape Elizabeth, Maine, discovered a lump on Sammy, and he
was diagnosed with cancer at
age 12. The girls were told to
enjoy their time with him,
because it was drawing short.
PENTAGON VISIT AHEAD
FOR ‘DANCING’ CHAMP
BYE, BYE: MCLEAN CLEARS UP
‘AMERICAN PIE’ ORIGINS
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta has invited soldier-turned-actor J.R.
Martinez, winner of this season’s “Dancing
with the Stars” competition, to meet him at
the Pentagon.
During a 10-minute telephone call Friday,
Panetta told the dance champion he demonstrated the strength and resilience of wounded
veterans, Pentagon spokesman Capt. John
Kirby said.
Martinez credited his military training for his
performance on the ABC show, Kirby said.
Martinez and professional partner Karina
Smirnoff bested fellow finalists Rob Kardashian
and Ricki Lake in the finale broadcast Tuesday.
Martinez, 28, was severely burned over more
than 40 percent of his body when the Humvee
he was driving for the U.S. Army in Iraq struck
a land mine in 2003.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — Don
McLean says “American Pie” was written in
Philadelphia, not the upstate New York bar
that has long laid claim to it.
The Post-Star of Glens Falls says the 66-year-old
singer and songwriter tells the newspaper that
contrary to local lore, he didn’t write the song on
cocktail napkins at the Tin and Lint in Saratoga
Springs. He also says the first time he performed
the song wasn’t at Caffe Lena, a famous coffeehouse around the corner from the bar.
McLean says he wrote “American Pie” in
Philadelphia and performed it for the first time
at Temple University.
“American Pie” hit No. 1 in the Billboard
charts in late 1971.
JEAN DEFENDS CHARITY
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Haiti hip hop
star Wyclef Jean says he’s proud of the way his
charity responded after the earthquake almost
two years ago.
He says his Yele Haiti Foundation rebuilt an
orphanage and set up a system of outdoor toilet and shower facilities in one of the largest
shanties in the Haitian capital.
Jean’s comments Sunday follow reports published by The New York Post saying his foundation collected $16 million in 2010 but less than
a third of that went to emergency efforts. The
Post also says $1 million was paid to a Florida
firm that doesn’t appear to exist.

OMAHA — A rural cable network is celebrating the career of movie cowboy Roy Rogers by
airing the performer’s old movies and planning
a float in the Tournament of Roses parade.
The celebration organized by RFD-TV began
earlier this month on the 100th anniversary of
Rogers’ birthday. The network is trying to
introduce younger viewers to Rogers.
Last year, RFD-TV bought Rogers’ horse Trigger
and dog Bullet at auction. The stuffed and
mounted animals will be featured on the float
that will conclude the Tournament of Roses
parade on Jan. 2. The parade will air on RFD-TV.
Between now and the parade, the Omahabased network plans to air episodes of the Roy
Rogers Show and some of Rogers’ movies weekly.
