Thayer Central senior Russell Heitmann of Hebron competes at the National Poetry Out Loud contest in Washington, D.C., Tuesday.
THAYER CENTRAL SENIOR GIVES HIS ALL FOR SECOND YEAR AT NATIONAL POETRY READING CONTEST
TONY HERRMAN
[email protected]
H
EBRON — For the
second year in a
row, Russell
Heitmann battled
his way past dozens
of competitors in a field of hundreds of thousands of high
school students to return to
Washington, D.C., and almost
win a national poetry reading
contest.
The 18-year-old Thayer
Central senior won the Nebraska
Poetry Out Loud state championship in March in Lincoln and
went on to the national competition, which was Monday and
Tuesday in Washington. He was
one of nine finalists but did not
place.
“I felt like I gave the two best
performances I could have, and I
just left it in the hands of the
judges,” he said Wednesday
morning. “With something like
this it’s kind of subjective how
they see it or don’t see it. I don’t
have regrets. I gave everything I
absolutely have, and it still was a
neat experience for me.”
In Washington, 53 teenagers
— representatives from each
state plus Puerto Rico, U.S.
Virgin Islands and the District of
Columbia — are separated into
three regional divisions based on
time zone. Three finalists from
each region competed on the
second night.
Heitmann was also one of the
non-placing finalists in
Washington in 2012. He said he
was one of about five finalists to
repeat in 2013.
Heitmann recited “The
Universe of Primal Scream” by
Tracy K. Smith and “Poem with
One Fact” By Donald Hall. To
win the state competition he
also read “England in 1819” by
Percy Shelley and would have
read it Tuesday if he would have
been one of the final three participants.
“Poem with One Fact” is a carryover from Heitmann’s run in
2012.
In the poem, Hall writes about
feeding frozen rats to a pet boa
constrictor, a frozen German
shepherd to a pet cheetah and a
frozen Texaco station to an
imported London taxi.
“It is such a fun poem to perform and there’s always new
things you can learn about it,”
Heitmann said. “It’s not such a
straightforward poem that ‘this
is what it means and this is how
you do it.’ I’m always learning
about new ways to possibly
interpret different aspects of the
poem, and it allows me to ramp
up my performance because
when you’re still learning about
a poem you don’t get bored with
it and it lets you go at and do it
better each time. Plus, I think
the audiences enjoy it. I usually
get a few chuckles out of a somewhat serious crowd.
“I could have gone through
the list and tried to find another
one, but if I have something
that works, why not keep it and
try to make a run with it again?”
Karen Boatright, TC English
teacher who helps coordinate
the school’s Poetry Out Loud
program, said Heitmann is comfortable in front of an audience.
“We’re really excited for him,”
she said. “He’s a very talented
individual, and I think he exudes
confidence and he just has a love
for being in front of an audience
and delivering whatever that is if
it’s a play or poetry. I just think
he will go far.”
She isn’t surprised by
Heitmann’s success.
“He’s just really talented,” she
said.
Heitmann was one of 375,000
students from about 2,000 high
schools across the country to
compete in Poetry Out Loud this
year.

LINCOLN — Lawmakers attempted to break
an impasse Wednesday on a stalled Medicaid
expansion bill, with an appeal to rural senators
whose districts include small-town hospitals.
Sen. Steve Lathrop of Omaha raised the issue
as lawmakers debated an unrelated bill. He was
followed by several others who have led the
push to expand coverage as part of the federal
health care law.
Supporters have said they have enough votes
to pass the measure (LB577), but they fell short
of the support needed to end a filibuster last
month. It’s unclear whether Wednesday’s move
swayed any opposition, but at least one senator
who questioned the measure said he was willing
to allow an up-or-down vote.

Downtown Hastings is typically a busy place
but it could become even more frenetic the first
Friday of each month.
Hastings First Friday, which kicks off this
week, is a collection of activities the first Friday
of the month coordinated by the Hastings
Downtown Center Association.
The Downtown Center Association’s website
lists dozens of activities happening during the
event. Jessi Hoeft, director of the Downtown
Center Association, said people have been surprised to hear about so much activity occurring
in the same spot at the same time.
“To be honest with you, a lot of those things
were going on anyway,” she said. “We just
pulled them together. There always is a lot going
on in downtown Hastings. It’s just that we spearheaded it this time and we’re just making people

That’s because her husband,

purchase the house built by
first-year construction students

In the end, the Sindts made
the top bid of $149,000 on the

Holly Louise Bock Rossen,
the second child of Berta Mae
Bock Burda and Charles D.
Bock, was born December 24,
1967, in Beloit, Kansas. She departed her life Monday, April
29, 2013, at the age of 45
years.

born, Gabriella Mae and

Skye gained two stepsons,
Derek and Jake Rossen. Skye
worked side by side with her
husband Matt in their rental
properties, and their two
homes. She was a great interior
designer. Holly’s passions were
her family, first of all her three
daughters, which she lived for.
She had a passion for coaching
cheerleaders, and choreographing for the drill teams, one of
which was her daughter,
Fhallon’s. She loved being with
her family at the lake and
watching her stepson Jake run
track.
While in Texas, Holly was a
stunt coach for the Plano
Football League. Holly was the
head coach for the Lakeside Jr.

team.
She was a devoted daughter,

3 children, 1 adult dead
in Schenectady, N.Y., fire
Words: TC senior finalist
at national poetry contest
Continued from page A1
“So to be in the top nine
from a little, small, Midwestern
school in Nebraska, it’s phenomenal — but he’s a phenomenal kid,” Boatright said.
It has been a “fantastic”
experience to repeat as the
Nebraska Poetry Out Loud
competition, Heitmann said.
“Not only do you get to hear
so many great poems, but you
get to meet a lot of cool people,” he said. “Especially at
nationals, the kids who are performing are just fantastic kids
and they have such a love for
poetry and the arts.”
Heitmann traveled to
Washington with his parents,
Darcy and Anne, and his
younger sister Rachel, a Thayer
Central sophomore. Rachel
pushed Heitmann at the
school-level competition each
of the last two years and
Heitmann believes his sister
could continue his success.
“I’m going to be there rooting her on,” he said. “It really
is a tough journey to make it to
the national level. The
Nebraska state competition was
just as competitive as my semifinal here at nationals. It’s a
tough journey to get here. By
no means is it a cake walk. I
believe she has the talent and
ability to do well.”
He personally received $200 at
the national competition and
$1,000 for winning the state
competition. Thayer Central will
receive $500 of poetry books for
his placing at both the state and
national competition.
Heitmann personally delivered the books purchased with
the money he received last
year. It was enough for every
teacher in the district to have
several poetry books.
“That was a lot of fun to see
the kids get those books and
the teachers excited to get
those books,” he said.
Because Heitmann repeated
as state champion, Thayer
Central will receive a total of
$2,000 worth of poetry books.
“Having $2,000 worth of
poetry books in our school that
weren’t there before, knowing
I’m responsible for that is really, really cool,” he said.
Heitmann will attend
Hastings College in the fall, but
he is uncertain of his major
and a future career.
“I want to do something that
will make me happy and hopefully provide something for the
community and for others and
it’s not just a self-gaining career,”

Medicaid: Lawmakers return to stalled debate
Continued from page A1
Republican Gov. Dave
Heineman has argued that the
expansion is unsustainable.
Many Republicans in the officially nonpartisan Legislature
oppose the bill.
The expansion measure
would offer Medicaid to more
low-income adults under the
Affordable Care Act. It was
originally required under the
health care law, but the U.S.
Supreme Court ruled that the
federal government can’t
penalize states that refuse to
expand the program.
Lathrop argued that the original health care law was based
on a trade-off: The federal government would take away
Medicare benefits — about
$220 million per year from
Nebraska hospitals — and
expand Medicaid to offset the
loss. When the Medicaid
expansion was deemed optional, he said, hospitals throughout the state were faced with
cuts in federal reimbursement.
Lathrop argued that a failure
to expand Medicaid could lead
to hospital closures or cuts in
services that would force rural
Nebraska residents to travel farther for dialysis treatments,
immunizations, ambulance
services and prenatal care.
“If that’s a hospital in your
small community, that’s a consideration, because you’re contributing to the atrophy of rural
Nebraska if you do not recognize that those hospitals are a
critical part of what makes the
community a community,”
Lathrop said. “It’s like taking
the courthouse, taking the coop. You take the school. You
take the hospital, and what’s
left? A bar and a gas station.”
Sen. Kathy Campbell, the
Medicaid bill’s chief sponsor,
said she is still trying to persuade
lawmakers that the bill would
serve Nebraska’s long-term interests. The bill was pulled from
debate in April after lawmakers
failed to reach the 33-vote
threshold needed to pass it.
Speaker of the Legislature
Greg Adams has said he won’t
allow it back on the agenda
unless Campbell can show him
that she has support from at
least 33 senators.

CCC: House sells for $149,000

Student Aaron Skrdlant of
Fairfield said his biggest challenge with this project was the
cabinetry, which is one of the
biggest selling points of the
home each year.
“You have to be a lot more
precise,” he said. “It has to be
spot on with our instructors.”
And while that was his biggest
personal challenge, Skrdlant said
it was also his favorite aspect of
the entire project.
“Even though it was the
hardest part, it was also the
coolest part,” he said. “It’s actually a lot different than framing
and doing the roof.”
The woodwork was also a
challenge for classmate Eric
Gunn of Juniata, who found a
lot of challenges in cutting the
corners on the base trim pieces.
“You have to have a lot of
patience about it,” he said.
“You have to have a real precise cut so it fits just right. You
have to be very exact.”
When asked beforehand what
their goal price was for the
home, the students said they
wanted it to at least surpass last
year’s winning bid of $135,000.
“Hopefully, it will go higher,”
Gunn said. “It’s pretty exciting.
It’s good to just see it all come
together.”
Bidding started at $90,000
and jumped up to $140,000
within a few minutes by two
competitive bidders. Then Erik
Sindt joined in and pushed it
up to $147,000 before Ruhter
called for a 10-minute break in
the bidding.
After the break, Sindt
jumped the price to $148,000
and then $149,000 where it
stalled before he won the bid.

Wildfire slowed, but worse conditions await

BANNING, Calif. —
Firefighters were able to beat
back a powerful wildfire that
bore down on a dry Southern
California city, limiting the
damages to a single house and
curbing the threat to hundreds
more.
But the difficult conditions
that helped fuel the 4 1/2 squaremile blaze in Riverside County
on Wednesday could be even
worse in parts of the state
Thursday.
Winds at the fire site were
hitting 30 mph and could gust
to 40 mph, which could halt
progress crews made overnight
ple and struck shortly after firefighters fought another blaze
about a half-mile away.
The investigation will look
for any connections between
the two nearby fires, but Fire
Chief Michael Della Rocco said
they are believed to be unrelated.
Two adults and four children
lived in the upstairs unit, Della
Rocco said. The father was
killed along with three of his
children. Della Rocco said they
haven’t been able to locate the
mother, who was not in the
house at the time of the fire.
in battling the blaze, said
Riverside County fire spokeswoman Jody Hagemann. The
fire was 40 percent contained
on Thursday morning, with
only sporadic flame showing.
“It makes fire conditions
unpredictable and more dangerous,” Hagemann said of the
winds.
The federal government has
agreed to pay 100 percent of the
cost for new Medicaid recipients
from 2014 to 2016. Aid would
gradually decrease until 2020,
when the federal government
would pay 90 percent of the
costs for patients who fall under
Medicaid expansion.
Supporters have floated a
series of compromise measures,
including a sunset proposal on
the expansion that would let
lawmakers reevaluate it, or
withdraw altogether if the federal government fails to fund it
as promised.
Sen. Jerry Johnson of Wahoo
said he still had unanswered
questions about the Medicaid
expansion, after talking to hospitals in his district.

more aware of that.”
The Downtown Center
Association worked with the
Hastings Museum of Natural
and Cultural History to establish the Hastings First Friday
educational program
Juxtaposition, in which two
speakers will discuss two different topics.
“I think it gives people an
option to learn a little something without feeling like they
are committed to a whole
evening on this program,” said
Russanne Erickson, museum
curator of education. “It gives
them an introduction to a
topic they had never thought
to learn more about.”
The May speakers are Russ
Specht with “The Secret World
of Balloon Animals” and
Michella Marino with “Diary of
a Roller Derby Girl.” The program will be 6-7 p.m. inside
the Stein Building at 620 W.
Second St.
“I think it’s exactly what
Juxtaposition is supposed to
be, putting two unlikely things
next to each other,” Erickson
said. “Where else can you learn
a little bit about roller derby
and about balloon animals? I
think it’s really interesting and
fun, and I hope other people
do, too.”
Art opportunities will be
abound in downtown Hastings
during Hastings First Friday.
The May event includes the
last night of the Elinor
Bartholomew Fine Arts Festival
and a reception for the
Hastings College Junior Thesis
Exhibition at Graham Gallery
as well as several public art
demonstrations.
Because of the weather,
many Hastings First Friday May
activities most likely will take
place inside businesses.
“It’s really kind of a game of
explore downtown and you’re
going to have to go into the
shops and find out what’s
there,” Hoeft said.
Hastings First Friday is
emblematic of what an active,
cultural center downtown
Hastings has become, she said.
“There’s always something
going on and our streets are
full in downtown with the
movie theater and WineStyles
and Murphy’s,” she said. “It’s
just kind of nice to see some of
the arts things come along, as
well.”

One of the economic puzzles of the recent recession is the decline in labor-force participation,
from 66 percent at the start of the recession to
63.6 percent as of last month, the lowest level
since 1979.
However, even with the major economic indicators trending upward and the unemployment rate
down to 7.6 percent, the workforce still declined
by half a million, bringing to 6.4 million the number of “missing” workers.
Two explanations suggest themselves, both bad.
First, the underlying labor market could be far
weaker than previously believed; second, that large
numbers of unemployed workers have completely
given up and are unlikely to return to the workforce even as hiring continues to pick up.
They don’t just disappear. They work off the
books for cash in the gray economy; they take
early retirement; or, as 8.9 million of them have
done, they go on disability insurance, up from 7.1
million at the start of the recession.
However, The Wall Street Journal says, “A close
look at the numbers suggests both fears, though
real, may be exaggerated.” The explanation, at
least part of it, is as plain as the wrinkles on our
faces.
Labor-force participation has been in long-term
decline through both recession and recovery, and
the trend would have continued regardless.
Explains the Journal, “The main reason is demographics: Americans are much more likely to work
between the ages of 25 and 54 than when they are
older or younger.”
The baby boomers are aging and retiring, and
the youngest of their children are not yet in the
prime of their working lives. The older and
younger segments of the population are the
fastest-growing. “Adjust for the changing population and the ‘missing’ workforce shrinks to about
4.3 million,” notes the Journal.
Young people make up an increasing percentage
of the population, but they increasingly choose to
go to college, and employers, with more experienced workers applying for jobs, are less inclined
to hire youths.
The recession and greater life expectancy have
prompted many older workers to put off retirement, leaving fewer vacancies. Put it all together,
the Journal says, and the labor force is only missing about 3 million workers. That’s not so good if
you’re one of the 3 million, but in an economy as
large as ours, 3 million is a manageable number.

Oklahoma City definitely hosts Run to Remember
I
had the privilege of running the
Oklahoma City Run to Remember half
marathon with family and friends last
Sunday. The event drew 24,000 runners
from across the country and around the
world to run full or half marathons, as well as
shorter races and relays.
The annual event memorializes the 168
people — including 19 children — who were
killed when terrorist dirt bags disemboweled
the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building with a
fertilizer bomb on April 19, 1995. Each year
Oklahoma City pulls out all the stops to welcome runners with grand aplomb.
With the Boston Marathon attack still so
raw, this year’s OKC marathon was particularly powerful, in a city that completely understands the impact of deranged men’s violence.
Runners were encouraged to wear green
shoelaces to honor the OKC victims, and red
socks to honor Boston’s. Race organizers invited Boston runners who were stopped short of
finishing their race to join the OKC runners
free of charge. Community members threw
open their doors to provide housing, as well
— a shining example of Southern hospitality
for which Oklahomans are famous.
The race’s staging area is adjacent to the
Oklahoma City National Memorial and
Museum, and when the horn sounded at 6:30
a.m., runners passed by the Memorial’s West
Gate that bears the glowing numbers 9:03 —
the moment the world changed forever —
and an inscription that reads “We come here
to remember those who were
killed, those who survived
and those changed forever.”
Indeed, it’s an event that
can leave a person forever
changed. Banners bearing
victims’ names lined the
course, and runners galore
wore and carried signs with
Tamera
names of relatives, friends, or
Schlueter complete strangers who died
that fateful day. “Remember
the reason” flashed everywhere you looked.
Images seared into my brain, like firemen
in full gear walking in formation to honor
first responders who were killed, as well as
those who died in the fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas. Helicopters zigzagged
overhead, part of a heavy police presence that
constantly patrolled the crowd for signs of
Boston-esque trouble. But in a crowd that
size, it became painfully obvious that ensuring safety is a grand illusion.
But the most enduring image I took away
from that day was the broad-shouldered
Marine barking out a crisp military running
cadence as he deftly passed me by. “M Motivation! A - Ability! R - Recon! I Initiative! N - Note Worthy! E - Endurance! C
- Courage! O - Obstacle! R - Reality! P - Pride! S
- Shoot to Kill! What’s that spell? Marine
Corps! Your Corps! My Corps! Marine Corps!”
Runners thanked him for his service, and
he shouted “You’re welcome!” without miss-
ing a beat. Something tells me the man had
no problem calling cadence through the
entire course.
There’s so much more I could tell you —
about the lung-busting Gorilla Hill, with its
huge inflated gorilla and spectators dressed
like bananas, or how the blocks before the
finish line were crammed with a crowd cheering so loud you’d swear it was possible to sail
across the finish line on a breeze. I wish I
could show you the enormous First Church
that hosted a “blessing of the shoes” pre-race
service, and a hearty breakfast served with a
smile. I wish you could see beautiful downtown Oklahoma City, which was completely
revitalized after the bombing — proof of a
community that banded together as “One
City — One Nation — One Resolve,” determined to honor all those affected with something positive and lasting. I wish you could
tour the museum, which will shake you to
the core, or the chairs upon the grassy hill
where the Murrah Building once stood. They
will make you cry.
There’s so much more I missed — the 168
seconds of silence before the race began, the
Sunrise Service at the Survivor Tree, and a
National Anthem sung so sweet it left people
in tears.
I guess I’ll have to go back for another run
to remember.

n the morning of April 24, two
prominent drivers of policy and
politics converged at
Washington’s perpetually gridlocked intersection of governance
and the news media. There they artfully
merged and sped merrily away in the far right
lane of the information highway.
But good governance was not well served
by those artful drivers: the politically assertive
chairman of the House Committee on
Oversight and Government Reform, Rep.
Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and the news personalities of the Fox News Channel’s morning
show, “Fox & Friends.”
Indeed, the ones who were harmed most
directly were the trusting Fox viewers —
because they were the ones who were being
artfully maneuvered and ultimately deceived.
But we all need to care. Because in a real
sense, we were all being harmed — just for
the sake of yet another round of Washington
name-calling. And what was lost in all this
was the fact that Issa and his House
Republican colleagues do have some important concerns that needed to be aired, understood and resolved.
Issa went to his soul mates at Fox News to
air conclusions of a report by the chairs of
five powerful House committees that have
probed last Sept. 11’s security debacle at
Benghazi, Libya, where U.S. Ambassador
Christopher Stevens and three others were
killed by terror-bent attackers. But Issa and his
Fox friends buried their best message with a
performance of conservative kabuki as news
theater.
First, you need to know this wasn’t a report
by five House committees to the full House of
Representatives — just a report by the
Republican committee
chairs, addressed only to the
House Republicans.
Second, it was widely covered elsewhere as the political claim it actually was.
CNN’s Jake Tapper reported:
“House Republicans say
Secretary of State (Hillary)
Martin
Clinton personally signed off
Schram
on cuts in security at the
diplomatic mission in Libya
before the attack last year. ...” The
Washington Post report was headlined: “GOP
report faults Clinton on Benghazi security.”
But “Fox & Friends” co-anchor Steve Doocy
performed coverage contortions to avoid
mentioning it was a Republican assertion. He
called it “a government report” and called Issa
only a “congressman ... who led the investigation,” never mentioning his party.
Doocy’s segment began with a video of
then Secretary Clinton testifying at a hearing
that she hadn’t seen or denied requests for
more security in Libya. Next, Doocy spoke —
and to do his inflection emphasis proper justice, I need to use capital letters to designate
where his voice rose almost an octave and
doubled in decibels:
“That was then-Secretary Clinton testifying,
under oath, that she had ZERO KNOWLEDGE
about requests for more security before the
Benghazi attack. But a new, scathing government report from the House reports that wasn’t even the truth.”
Next, we saw Issa declaring: “Well, secretary
of state was just wrong. She said she did not
participate in this, and yet only a few months
before the attack, she outright denied security
— in her signature, in a cable, April 2012.”
Time out. Actually, Clinton testified at
length about the fact that while the State
Department procedure is to email masses of
memos over what is said to be the secretary’s
emailed signature, the secretary actually sees
very few memos. Most, she testified, are decisions by subordinates several steps down the
command chain.
That procedure is anachronistic, absurd and
should be ended at once. Every memo should
carry the name of the highest-ranking official
who wrote or at least approved it. Of course,
Issa knows about State’s anachronistic procedure. But, instead, he accused Clinton of making “wrong” statements, without evidence
that she actually saw or approved the April
19, 2012, email that bore her name.
But we do know this: From the way Obama
officials have failed to refute the unsupported
Republican claim that Clinton had a role in
denying increased security for Benghazi, we
cannot just accept Clinton’s version of it
either. After decades of covering government
officials, I know that they know the fastest
and best way to stomp out a false accusation:
just put out the facts.
So far, the Obama administration hasn’t
done that — not even after this latest
Republican attack.
Maybe, in the theory of what new brooms
can do best, Clinton’s successor, Secretary of
State John Kerry, will help all sides — and all
of us — by sweeping away this decaying political debris. He recently promised Republicans
that if there’s a document they need, “I’ll
work with you to try to get it.”

Driest 365 days on record
NORTH PLATTE RECEIVED
7.23 INCHES OF RAIN
IN ONE-YEAR PERIOD
The Associated Press
NORTH PLATTE — North
Platte has just experienced its driest 365-day period in recorded history, according to National
Weather Service records.
The service said 7.23 inches of
rain fell between April 28, 2012,
and Saturday. The office recorded
1.22 inches on April 27 last year
and less than an inch on any rainy
day since.
Weather service meteorologist
Bill Taylor said that North Platte
hasn’t been this dry since the Dust
Bowl years.
“The last time that happened
was from June 10, 1931, to June 9,
1932, when they had 7.87 inches,”
Taylor said.
The National Drought Mitigation
Center at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln says much of
west-central Nebraska remains in
exceptional or extreme drought.
Another year like this would
“do quite a bit of damage to the
grasses and the Sandhills,” Taylor
said.
The average precipitation for a
calendar year is 20.23 inches in
North Platte, weather service
records say. Last year the area had
10.04 inches from Jan. 1 through
Dec. 31.
The wettest 365-day period
recorded for the area ran from July
18, 1950, to July 17, 1951, when
38.1 inches of precipitation fell. A
drought soon followed.
“We had years in the mid-’50s
where we had several years in a
row where we only had 10 to 12
inches, Taylor said.
Severely dry years rarely repeat
themselves the following years, he
said.
“Looking back at history, we
should recover somewhat, precipitation-wise,” Taylor said.

CRASHES KILL 2 PEOPLE
LEXINGTON — Separate traffic crashes
have killed two people in central Nebraska.
The first crash occurred near Cozad on Tuesday
afternoon. The Nebraska State Patrol says 29-yearold Sulaymon Usmanov of West Springfield,
Mass., was in the sleeper cab of a semitrailer that
veered off Interstate 80 and overturned in a ditch.
The patrol says Usmanov was killed and the truck
driver suffered minor injuries.
The second crash occurred Tuesday evening
about two miles west of Westerville on
Nebraska Highway 70 in Custer County. The
patrol says a car driven by 25-year-old Joseph
White, of Sargent, hit the rear of a tractor driven by Joe Willhoit. Willhoit was killed. The
extent of White’s injuries is unclear.
4 INJURED IN CRASH
WATERLOO — Four people have been
injured in a two-vehicle collision near the eastern Nebraska village of Waterloo, and officials
say slick road conditions may have contributed
to the crash.
Douglas County Chief Deputy Sheriff Marty
Bilek says the crash happened around 5 p.m.
Wednesday on a bridge near West Maple Road
and Highway 275. He says sleet was falling at
the time and icy conditions had been reported.
One person is critically injured and three
others are seriously injured. An infant in one of
the cars was not hurt.
Bilek says a northbound vehicle crossed the
center line and hit the other car. Southbound
lanes of Highway 275 were closed following
the crash.

Traci Specht, playing Audrey, announces the arrival of the longlost Maxine and Stephanie during rehearsal for “Leading Ladies”
Monday night at Hastings Community Theatre.
Shakespearean actors, who find
themselves so down on their
luck that they are performing
“Scenes from Shakespeare” on
the Moose Lodge circuit in the
Amish country of 1958
Pennsylvania. When they hear
that an old lady in York, Penn., is
about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English
nephews, they resolve to pass
themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash.
Jack and Leo learn the relatives
aren’t nephews, but nieces.
“They decide to go ahead with
the plan because they are actors
and they have the costumes and
all of that,” Kottwitz said.
Romantic entanglements
abound, especially when Leo
falls head-over-petticoat in love
with the old lady’s niece, Meg,
who’s engaged to the local minister.
“Sometimes it’s hard for us to
sort out who is what gender at
what time.” Kottwitz said. “It
really echoes those gender-bending themes of ‘Twelfth Night’
and ‘As You Like It,’ and a lot of
Shakespearean plays have a lot of
that gender-shifting stuff.”
Just preparing for the play was
difficult for cast member
Brendan Nierman, who plays
Leo.
“When I got the script I read it
the night I got it,” he said. “I
only made it halfway through
before I had to stop because my
side hurt so bad from laughing
and I picked it up the next day

Wearing a dress and heels for
much of the play was interesting
for Nierman and Corey Vom

Life and death is always on
artist MaKayla Kort’s mind.
Her display “What remains...”
in downtown Hastings includes
collections of ceramic bird skulls.
The titles of the pieces: “From the
Battles,” “From the Pressures,”
“From the Ashes,” “Within the
Lines,” “Within the Mind,” and
“Within the Hope” are meant to
finish sentences that begin with
her show’s title.
They aren’t meant to be morbid.
“They’re supposed to be representations of skulls, which is kind
of dark and creepy,” Kort said.
“But I want you to think about
what would’ve happened to each
bird in their life or the different
personalities or characteristics in
what the skull would’ve held.”

Law officers discuss pipeline security
The Associated Press
LINCOLN — Nebraska law
officers have been discussing
security arrangements for construction of the Keystone XL
pipeline, even though it hasn’t
been given a final federal
blessing.
The Nebraska State Patrol
invited county sheriffs and
prosecutors along the
pipeline’s Nebraska path to a
meeting in Grand Island last
week.
Nance County Sheriff Dave
Moore said the law officers
were anticipating Nebraska
protests that would echo those
occurring along the pipeline
leg between Cushing, Okla.,
and refineries on the Gulf
Coast in Texas. On Monday
two people were arrested after
chaining themselves to a piece
of equipment at a pipeline
construction site in Hughes
County, Okla.
Moore said the seven uniformed members of his eastcentral Nebraska department
wouldn’t be able to handle
construction security alone.
“We’ll rely on the State
Patrol and hopefully on the
federal government for some
outside help,” he said
Wednesday. “That’s what this
meeting was about — just so
we’re all on the same page and
to understand that people do
have their rights.”
Nebraska State Patrol
spokeswoman Deb Collins said
they know there could be
problems.
“We don’t expect to have
issues. A meeting like this is
just an opportunity to be better prepared if there would
be,” she said.
The proposed $7.6 billion
pipeline would cross Montana,
South Dakota, Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
Pipeline developer
TransCanada also has proposed connecting it to the
Bakken oil field in Montana
and North Dakota.
Pipeline opponent Jane
Kleeb, who also is executive
director of Bold Nebraska, said
the law enforcement meeting
was troubling. Meeting behind
closed doors, without inviting
opponents, was “a pretty onesided conversation” about
something that hasn’t happened in Nebraska, she said.
There’s no reason to fear
protesters in Nebraska, Kleeb
said.
“Will we engage in civil disobedience? Yes,” she said.
“Will we be violent? No.”
Art: Junior thesis students
bring different approaches
Continued from page A5
Kort, a Grand Island High School
graduate majoring in psychology
with minors in studio art and
Christian ministry, plans to pursue a
career in art therapy after she graduates.
Art therapy emphasizes the
process of creating art as much as
the end result.
That process is present in her own
work when she transforms an “egg”
of clay into her bird skulls.
“I think the process of creating
anything, when it’s coming from
inside the individual, can bring up a
lot about one’s self,” she said. “It
can be a healing process or a stressrelieving process.”
She said she has learned a lot
about herself through creating her
skulls.
“I just went with ‘the clay is in
my hands this is what I’m creating’
and then ran with it, but in the end
looking back at it I can see what I
was thinking and how I wanted
each piece to relate to humans and
their own little lives,” she said. “I
think anybody could benefit from
art therapy even if they’re not creative.”
Kreager said all six students have
unique styles, which is what makes
a successful show.
“Artists need to find their own
visual voice in their artwork and we
don’t want them to all come out
making the same widget,” he said.
“We want them to be individuals in
expressing their ideas and lives
through their artwork.”
Describing her contemporaries’
work, Kort said in making engraved
linoleum prints Knake depicted
camouflaged animals.
Knake focused on the delicate patterns within each animal. She wants
her viewers to get close and look for
the animal hidden in the print.
Groves created shadow boxes of
paper illustrations depicting characters like Harry Potter and Ariel from
“The Little Mermaid.” Kort said the
pieces focus on creating little worlds
that the viewer could look at and
get swept into at that particular time
or setting.
Kort said in assembling the photo
montages, Baudouin used her journalism background to showcase
people’s insecurities about their bodies. She finds the human body beautiful and wanted to show what people are normally trying to hide.
Anchors are omnipresent in
Neville’s acrylic paintings.
Kort said Neville’s show represents
the “anchors” in his life and things
that have kept him grounded.
Bodies of water have been a big part
of his life and the anchor is his
favorite symbol.
Howe’s paintings and drawings
are in honor of her grandma.
The students will all talk about
their work during lectures from 6-9
p.m. Saturday at the Wilson Center.
“It’s part of their education,”
Kreager said. “If you’re going to be
an artist you need to able to speak
about your art and articulate your
ideas, know where your ideas are
coming from. It’s part of being a student and learning how to be an
artist.”
Hospital vaccination bill clears final vote
The Associated Press
LINCOLN — Nebraska lawmakers passed a bill Wednesday that
would require many health care
clinics to offer tetanus, whooping
cough and diphtheria vaccinations to patients before they’re
discharged.
Patients wouldn’t have to
accept the vaccinations, and
many hospitals already offer
them. But Sen. Bob Krist of
Omaha said he introduced the
legislation to minimize future outbreaks.
Whooping cough resurfaced last
year in force in Nebraska, along
with the rest of the nation.
Douglas County, which encompasses Omaha, experienced its
largest outbreak since the 1930s.
“Whooping cough, we thought
we had under control for years,”
Krist said. “We’re finding out now
that isn’t the case. There are a lot
of adults out there who will
cough it away, and not pay attention until it really manifests
itself.”
The vaccines could be covered
by Medicaid, Medicare, private
payers or insurance.

Corey VomWeg (right) as Jack Gable tries to restrain Leo Clark, played by Brendan
Nierman, as they rehearse “Leading Ladies” Monday night at Hastings Community
Theatre.
Ladies: Production opens Friday
Continued from page A5
Both actors are over 6 feet tall. Nierman
wears size 14 women’s shoes, and Vom Weg
wears size 15.
“Our first challenge was finding shoes,”
Kottwitz said. “We wanted their shoes early,
so they could rehearse in them and get used
to wearing heels.”
Nierman said the shoes only have two-inch
heels, so the experience wasn’t so bad. He is
thankful Kottwitz did not put Jack and Leo
into stilettos.
Vom Weg said it has been strange wearing
women’s clothes.
“I’ve never done it before and I’ll probably
never do it again after this, but it’s a fun show,
so it’s worth it in the long run,” he said.
The show, he said, is one of funniest he has
worked on or seen.
Cross-dressing characters makes for some
quick costume changes. Vom Weg has five
costume changes in the second act alone, one
that occurs backstage during just eight lines of
dialogue from full dress to full suit.
That is one of the reasons why the backstage crew is as large as the cast.
“We’re very grateful for those who are helping us out with the tech on this show,”
Kottwitz said.
Delta Fajardo-Norton, who plays Meg, said
she has never worked so hard to get a character.
“She’s supposed to be sweet and innocent,
but I don’t think I pull it off very well,” she
said. “She’s supposed to naive about the
world, but she really wants to experience a lot
of things. As I go through the play, I get more
brave and then at the end I’m, in my opinion,
sarcastic and mean but for a good reason.”
Other cast members include Traci Specht as
the delightfully naive Audrey. Jesse Nielsen
plays Duncan Wooley, the fussy minister; and
Sue Medsker-Nedderman is Meg’s dying Aunt
Florence. Other members of the cast include
Bob Nierman as Do and Chris Langenberg as
Butch.
Directing a broad comedy has been a new
experience for Kottwitz, who had previously
only directed dramas.
“It’s been very interesting for me to discover
the science of comedy,” he said, “The timing,
when you land the line, when you find the
humor in the middle of the line that you really don’t want the audience to laugh out loud
for but you want them to get the joke, too.”
“Leading Ladies” was written by playwright
Ken Ludwig, who also wrote the popular
comedies “Moon Over Buffalo” and “Lend
Me a Tenor.”
The show includes era-appropriate music
from composer Leroy Anderson. He gained
notoriety for his song “The Typewriter.”
“The audience is going to get a real kick out
of it,” Nierman said. “It’s not that hard to follow unless you’re actually on stage and then
every time before you go on you’ve got to
check to make sure what costume you’re
wearing.”

Red Cross creating advisory board for Hastings community
HASTINGS TRIBUNE
[email protected]
The Mid-Rivers Chapter of
the American Red Cross is creating an advisory board to help
shape the presence of the
organization in the Hastings
community.
Last fall, the office in
Hastings was consolidated
under the umbrella of the
Central Plains Chapter in
Grand Island, leaving only a
minor Red Cross presence in
Hastings.
Judy Hoch, a Hastings resident who serves on the Central
Plains Chapter board, said the
Hastings office is still open
three days a week with someone there to answer questions
and lead programs.

Island office, Hoch said the
goal is to create an advisory
committee in Hastings that
could provide ideas and support to the Central Plains
Chapter.
“What we’re looking for here
in Hastings are people interested in what the Red Cross does.
We are not a fundraising
group,” Hoch said.
She said the advisory group
would be comprised of people
who want to help bring the
Red Cross back to the front of
people’s minds in Hastings.
The group would meet on a
quarterly basis or as needed to
generate ideas for a Red Cross
presence in schools and other
places in the Hastings area.
“There are so many things
that the Red Cross does besides
disasters and blood drives, and
we need to get that message
into service clubs, church
groups and anywhere that we
can take our message of help,”
she said. “We want to connect
with military families, children,
etc.”

Friendship with bomb
suspect leads to charges
DENISE LAVOIE AND
ALLEN G. BREED
The Associated Press
JORDAN STEAD, seattlepi.com/AP
Demonstrators back away from a “flash bang” object used by police during a May Day
protest in Seattle Wednesday.
Violence mars May Day rally
RAQUEL MARIA DILLON, ELLIOT SPAGAT
AND GENE JOHNSON
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Supporters of immigration reform rallied across the nation on May
Day in lively gatherings that were marred by a
burst of violence in Seattle, where police fired
pepper spray at rock-throwing protesters in
clashes that left 17 people arrested.
Thousands joined May Day rallies in dozens
of cities from Concord, N.H., to Bozeman,
Mont., many of them offering support for legislation under consideration by Congress that
would overhaul immigration laws and bring
many of the estimated 11 million people living
in the U.S. illegally out of the shadows.
In Salem, Ore., Gov. John Kitzhaber was
cheered by about 2,000 people on the Capitol
steps as he signed a bill to allow people living
in Oregon without proof of legal status to
obtain drivers licenses.
Hours after a peaceful march concluded in
Seattle, several dozen protesters, some covering
their faces with bandanas, began pelting police
with rocks and bottles. Officers responded with
pepper spray and “flash bang” grenades —
releasing smoke, a flashing light, and a loud
noise — to disburse the crowd.
Seventeen people were arrested and eight officers
suffered minor scrapes and bruises, police said.
As the protesters moved through downtown
Seattle, they threw street barriers, trash cans and
newspaper bins on the streets in an attempt to
block advancing police officers. Windows of
local businesses were broken and vehicles with
people in them were banged around.
The spurt of violence was reminiscent of the
gathering a year ago when some protesters
broke windows and set fires.
“We’re a bigger and better city than this. I
look at this and I am disappointed that this is
the picture the world sees of us,” Seattle Mayor
Mike McGinn said.
BOSTON — Just hours
before one of the Boston
Marathon suspects and his
brother allegedly gunned down
a campus police officer, authorities say he exchanged a series
of text messages with a friend
who’d become suspicious after
seeing what looked like a familiar face being flashed on television.
Dias Kadyrbayev, a student at
the University of Massachusetts
Dartmouth, texted his college
buddy Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, saying he looked like one of the
bombing suspects.
“Tsarnaev’s return texts contained ‘lol’ and other things
Kadyrbayev interpreted as jokes
such as ‘you better not text me’
and ‘come to my room and
take whatever you want,’ ” an
FBI agent wrote in an affidavit.
Those texts set off a series of
events that on Wednesday led
to Kadyrbayev and his roommate Azamat Tazhayakov,
natives of Kazakhstan, being
charged with conspiring to
destroy emptied fireworks and
other evidence linking their
friend to the deadly April 15
blasts. Robel Phillipos, who
graduated from Cambridge
Rindge and Latin High School
with Tsarnaev in 2011, was
charged with lying to investigators about the April 18 visit to
his friend’s dorm room to
retrieve the items.
Tazhayakov also told authorities that during a meal about a
month before the terror attacks,
Tsarnaev informed him and
Kadyrbayev “that he knew how
to make a bomb.” That is significant because, before he was
advised of his rights not to speak
with authorities, the 19-year-old
bombing suspect allegedly said
that his older brother had only
recently recruited him to be part
of the attack.
Three people were killed and
more than 260 wounded on
April 15 when two bombs
exploded near the marathon’s
finish line. Tamerlan Tsarnaev,
26, died after a gunfight with
police days later. Younger brother Dzhokhar was captured and
remains in a prison hospital.
North Korea sentences American
in possible bid for talks with U.S.
SAM KIM
The Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea — A
Korean American detained for
six months in North Korea has
been sentenced to 15 years of
hard labor for “hostile acts”
against the state, the North’s
media said Thursday — a move
that could trigger a visit by a
high-profile American if history
is any guide.
Kenneth Bae, 44, a
Washington state man
described by friends as a
devout Christian and a tour
operator, is at least the sixth
American detained in North
Korea since 2009. The others
eventually were deported or
released without serving out
their terms, some after trips to
Pyongyang by prominent
Americans, including former
U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and
Jimmy Carter.
With already abysmal U.S.North Korean ties worsening
since a long-range rocketlaunch more than a year ago,
Pyongyang is fishing for another such meeting, said Ahn
Chan-il, head of the World
Institute for North Korea
Studies think tank in South
Korea.
“North Korea is using Bae as
bait to make such a visit happen. An American bigwig visiting Pyongyang would also burnish Kim Jong Un’s leadership
profile,” Ahn said. Kim took
power after his father, Kim
Jong Il, died in December 2011.
The authoritarian country
has faced increasing criticism
over its nuclear weapons ambitions.

Four from Tribland sign with HC men’s basketball
FIRST SET OF RECRUITS
FOR NEW COACH GAVERS
MIKE ZIMMERMAN
[email protected]
New Hastings College head men’s
basketball coach Bill Gavers lived up
to his nickname “Cheetah” in signing
his first recruiting class.
And Gavers, who was announced
as the Broncos’ coach in March but
doesn’t officially take over until June
1 and is still teaching at Grand Island
Central Catholic, didn’t have to go far
to get the competitive players he
wants for his system. Four Tribland
standouts signed to play for the
Broncos in a ceremony Wednesday in
the Legacy Room at Lynn Farrell
Arena.
HC signed St. Cecilia’s Ceasar
Teano, Silver Lake’s Jaydn Grabill and
Adams Central twins Matt and Marc
Brown.
Gavers, who left Grand Island
Central Catholic to coach at Hastings
College, said he’s excited to not have
to compete against three of the four
anymore. Every season, Grand Island
Central Catholic plays St. Cecilia and
Adams Central.
“Ceasar drove us crazy for years (at
St. Cecilia). He likes to live in the corner and he buried so many 3s against
us. He can really shoot the basket-
ball,” Gavers said. “When you can do
that, you can be an asset to any team
because people have to honor that.
“Then, the two Brown boys … they
held us to seven points in a half.”
Teano said that part of his decision
to play for the Broncos had a lot to
do with his relationship with Gavers.
He knows exactly what he’s getting
from his new coach.
“I’ve got to listen to him now, so
we’ll see how things go,” Teano said
with a laugh. “I’ve known Coach for
a while because I’ve been to quite a
few camps where he’s running things.
We’ve got a good relationship. He
had seen me even before high school.
Playing against him, he knows what I
Celtics stay

have. He’s probably got my scouting
report locked down.”
A 5-foot-11 shooting guard, Teano
averaged 9.6 points and 2.3 rebounds
per game and earned All-Tribland
third-team honors in his senior season that was shortened by an injury.
He didn’t play for the first half of the
year for the Bluehawks, and admits
he’s not quite 100 percent yet. Teano
also considered Doane, but it was too
hard to pass up an opportunity to
stay close to home and play for
Gavers.
“I think a lot of had to do with my
little brother and sister still in high
school, so I want to watch them play,”
he said. “Being close to home so that
my parents can come to games is really important to me, and I think the
main thing is academics is huge.”
Matt and Marc Brown also couldn’t
give up the chance to stay local and
play basketball. It lured both brothers
away from attending school at South
Dakota School of Mines.
Matt led the state-qualifying
Patriots in points (11.0 ppg) and
rebounds (6.2 rbg). He said that, originally, he and his brother didn’t plan
on going to the same college.
“We didn’t know,” said the 6-3 forward. “We thought we were going to
a different college, but we like the
same stuff.”

TRIBLAND FACES OF SPORTS: Doug Phelps
BRIAN MAHONEY
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The 11-0 deficit in Game
5 was wiped away. The 3-0 deficit in the
series might be next.
The Boston Celtics are two victories from
NBA history, and from extending the
Knicks’ postseason futility in a most
improbable manner.
Kevin Garnett had 16 points and 18
rebounds and the Celtics stayed alive in the
playoffs, cutting New York’s lead to 3-2 with
a 92-86 victory Wednesday night.
The Celtics will host Game 6 on Friday
night, needing two wins to become the first
NBA team to overcome a 3-0 deficit to win a
series.
“Our mentality has been like a Game 7
mentality. It’s an all-out mentality. One that
is no tomorrow. Period. Point blank,”
Garnett said. “We put ourselves in this 3-0
position and now we’re just trying to fight
our way out of it.”
Brandon Bass added 17 points, steadying
Boston as it shook off an 11-0 deficit and
pulled away in the second half to stop the
Knicks again from achieving their first playoff series victory since 2000.
“That shows you how resilient we are.
Down 11-0, it could have been easy to say,
‘All right fellas, hey, we made a great effort
but it just wasn’t good enough,”’ reserve
Jason Terry said. “We know we’re just starting to jell as a team and injuries have
plagued us all season long, but in this series
it’s all about heart, who is willing to go out
there every night, every possession and
leave it all out there. If that’s not good
enough, then we’ll be going home.”
J.R. Smith, back from his one-game suspension for elbowing Terry with the Knicks
way ahead late in Game 3, missed his first
10 shots and finished 3 of 14 for 14 points.
Jeff Green scored 18 points and Paul
Pierce had 16 as he and Garnett, the two
franchise stalwarts, extended this season —
and perhaps their Celtics careers — at least
one more game.
“Obviously being down 2-0 or 3-0 or
whatever it was, we could have folded shop.
Nobody in here is going to quit,” said Terry,
who scored 17.
Carmelo Anthony scored 22 points but
was just 8 of 24 in another dismal shooting
night for the Knicks, who blew a big lead in
this game and now the series. They face an
unwanted trip back to Boston instead of the
rest this aging roster could surely use before
the second round.
If they get there.
“I think we’re fine,” Knicks coach Mike
Woodson said. “Sure we would’ve loved to
close it out and move on, but nobody said it
would be easy.”
The Knicks would host Game 7 on
Sunday.

Doug Phelps of Hastings High demonstrates his jumping style during a workout session a couple of days after he had cleared 7 feet
during the Big Ten meet at Fremont in May 1975, which ranked among the top performances in the nation at the time.
The state’s first to 7 feet
MIKE ZIMMERMAN
[email protected]
I
n 1975, Doug Phelps put his
name and Hastings High in
the record books.
Phelps was the first
Nebraskan to surpass the 7foot barrier in the high jump. His
record-setting jump earned him
Athlete of the Year honors by the
Omaha World-Herald and
Lincoln Journal Star.
At the end of his final state
meet, he also received a standing
ovation from a crowd of more
than 9,000 fans after clearing 610 for his third straight Class A
gold medal. He also made a
young fan’s dream come true
when he accepted an autograph
request. He was the star for the
Tigers.
But maybe the most significant
thing he took away from those
successful jumps is that he could
land them on a nice, soft mat —
not a pile of sawdust.
“I was real lucky because there
was a huge advancement in the
technology of track and field at
that time. My predecessors were
jumping off
asphalt and
landing in
sawdust or
sand,” said
Phelps, who
was inducted

vaulters pole,
and we ended
up with pits with easy-landing
areas.”
A new technique in high jump
— the Fosbury flop — also played
a large role in his jumping success.
Not only were his predecessors
jumping into piles of sand or saw-
dust, but they also had the difficult task of having to roll forward over the high jump bar.
That means a jumper would run
at an angle to the bar and lift
their front leg over before the
body followed.
Dick Fosbury won gold in the
1968 Olympics by introducing
the flop technique, which is now
the standard style in competition.
To perform a flop, a jumper
builds up speed and curves the
run just before the jump, twists
his or her body in the air so that
they travel over the bar backwards with the stomach facing
up.
“It was significant for me
because I was one of the first generation of Fosbury floppers,”
Phelps said.
The flop created an instant
change to the sport of high jump,
and it allowed more athletes to
push for greater heights.
Since Phelps first cleared the
hallowed 7-foot mark, 11 other
Nebraskans have reached that
same mark or higher. The all-time
state high school record was set
in 2007 by Randall Carter of
Papillion-La Vista at 7-4.
Phelps made the leap when
there were new changes to the
sport. He said that athletes now
are able to keep getting higher
because of better training techniques.
While it’s what his athletic
career will be remembered for
most, Phelps admitted that he
didn’t plan on focusing solely on
the high jump. But injuries ended
up changing that.
He tried his hand in a variety of
events in track and field.
“I even threw the shot put
when I was a freshman,” said
Phelps, who also starred on the
Tiger basketball team and was a
kicker on the football team.
An ankle injury he suffered in
basketball his junior year limited
what events he could do in track.

Royals rally from 5-run hole to beat Rays 9-8
DAVE SKRETTA
The Associated Press
COLIN E. BRALEY/AP
The Kansas City Royals Mike Moustakas (8) and Eric Hosmer
celebrate the Royals’ 9-8 win Wednesday over the Tampa Bay
Rays in Kansas City, Mo.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The
Kansas City Royals were trying
to dig out of an early five-run
hole against Tampa Bay on
Wednesday night, and had the
bases loaded with one out and
Lorenzo Cain at the plate.
He grounded into an
inning-ending double-play.
Funny thing happened,
though: It didn’t seem to deter
the Royals one bit.
In the ultimate show of
resiliency, Kansas City kept
plugging along, scratching
away at the Rays’ big lead.
And by the time the Royals
put up five runs in the sixth
inning, they were well on
their way to a 9-8 victory on a
cold, blustery Wednesday
night.
“We had opportunities early
to get a big hit and just couldn’t,” Royals manager Ned Yost
said. “But they just continued
to battle, get good at-bats and
get in good position until we
could break through like we
did in the sixth inning.”
Elliot Johnson homered
against his former team early
in the game, but Lorenzo Cain
and Jeff Francoeur provided
the key hits during that sixthinning rally. Both of them fin-
ished with a pair of RBIs, helping Kansas City earn its second straight come-frombehind victory.
“Our goal is to get the first
one or two guys on every
inning and then let whatever
is going to happen, happen,”
Francoeur said. “Tonight we
were able to do that.”
Matt Joyce, Ben Zobrist and
Luke Scott each homered for
the Rays, who dropped to 4-11
on the road this season.
Starting pitcher Jeremy
Hellickson allowed four runs
in five innings.
“That’s a pretty revealing
statistic that in 10 of our 15
losses we’ve had the lead and
given them up,” Rays manager
Joe Maddon said. “We just
can’t do that.”
Bruce Chen (2-0) pitched
two scoreless innings in relief
of Royals starter Luis
Mendoza, and Greg Holland
worked a perfect ninth inning
in a light drizzle for his seventh save.
Kansas City will go for the
series sweep on Thursday,
assuming the game is even
played. The forecast calls for
temperatures in the upper 30s
with a good chance of rain or
snow.

Clippers fall to Grizzlies again, 103-93
JOE RESNICK
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The Los
Angeles Clippers won Game 7 on
the road against the Memphis
Grizzlies to get past the opening
round of the playoffs last year. This
time, they’ll have to do the same
thing in Game 6 just to take the
rematch series back home.
And the biggest question mark
Friday night will be the status of
Blake Griffin.
The three-time All-Star was limited to 19 1/2 minutes in the
Clippers’ 103-93 loss Tuesday night
because of a high ankle sprain. The
injury occurred when he was taking
part in post drills during Monday’s
practice and stepped on Lamar
Odom’s foot.
“I kept being optimistic,” said
Griffin, who finished with four
points, five rebounds and five
assists. “Our training staff did a
great job giving me treatment. I’ve
never had a high ankle sprain
before.”
Griffin was late joining teammates on the floor for warmups
because he was getting his right
ankle worked on. No one in the
organization let on after Tuesday’s
workout, and coach Vinny Del
Negro didn’t broach the subject
during his pregame briefing with
reporters.
“It’s tough. It’s tough. B.G. tried
to give it a go, like we all knew he
would,” said point guard Chris
Paul, who tied a career playoff high
with 35 points. “Right now, we’re
fighting for our lives. It’s a tough
blow, but what can you do? We’ve
got to find a way to get through it
and figure it out. That’s what the
playoffs are all about.
“We’ve got to be desperate. That’s
how it is,” Paul added. “I’ve said the
playoffs don’t start till somebody
loses at home, so I guess now they’ve
started. We lost here at home. Now
it’s do or die in Memphis.”
Once the game started, Griffin
ignored the ankle issue and
attacked the Grizzlies in the same
reckless manner that has been his
trademark since he came into the
league. But he played only 19 minutes — six in the second half —
and finished with four points, five
rebounds and five assists. He also
got a technical foul from referee
Jason Phillips just 3 minutes into
the game after scoring on a fastbreak layup and shoving center
Marc Gasol’s arm.
“It’s just an unfortunate thing
that happened,” Del Negro said. “It
was just a freak accident. It was a
pretty bad sprain. I give Blake a lot
of credit. He’s got a lot of swelling
in there. He had therapy all of last
night and therapy today, and he
battled through it. He was active,
but as the game went on, it just got
fatigued and sore and worse and
worse. ... We wanted to protect him
and make sure he was all right. I
know how hard he worked. It’s just
unfortunate timing.”
Zach Randolph scored 10 of his
25 points in the fourth quarter and
Mike Conley added 20 points for
the Grizzlies. Gasol finished with
21 points and eight rebounds in a
foul-plagued 31 1/2 minutes. He
picked up his fifth with 5:39 left in
the third quarter, and still managed
to be a factor in the fourth.
“Zach did an amazing job under
the basket,” Gasol said. “He drove
when he had to drive and he
attacked the pain when he had to.
He read every situation perfectly.
But we won with defense. That’s
how we won. They have a tremendous team and they have so many
options. So you have to be really
careful.”
Memphis took its biggest lead,
65-52, on Conley’s three-point play
with 6:28 left in the third quarter.
The Grizzlies opened the fourth
with a 73-65 advantage before the
Clippers closed on Paul’s layup and
Matt Barnes’ fastbreak slam off a
long pass by Jamal Crawford.
From then on, it was up to Paul
and the reserves to bail out the
Clippers. But Randolph was too
much to deal with again, following
his dominant efforts in Games 3
and 4.
“It’s real important just for me to
have my confidence,” Randolph
said. “But we haven’t done anything yet. We’ve still got one game
on Friday, so we need to come in
and focus and try to finish our
business.”
Added Del Negro: “We’re not
going to lay down and we’re never
going to give up.”
Durant, Thunder struggling to close out Rockets
JEFF LATZKE
The Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Without
All-Star Russell Westbrook running
the point, Kevin Durant and the
Oklahoma City Thunder are struggling to close out the Houston
Rockets.
So much for a sweep. This is suddenly a series.
James Harden scored 31 points
and sank seven 3-pointers while
fighting flu-like symptoms, and the
Rockets beat Oklahoma City 107100 Wednesday night to pull within 3-2 in their first-round playoff
series.
Harden made the first seven 3s
he tried and Houston led by as
many as 16 to win its second
straight, getting halfway to becoming the first team in NBA history to
overcome a 3-0 series deficit.
“We just came out here and
played pressure free. Go out there
and just hoop, that was our mindset going into the game,” Harden
said. “The same thing back at
home: just go out there and hoop.
We’re an eighth seed. Nobody’s
expecting us to win. So just give it
what we’ve got. Simple.”
The Rockets have made it look
much easier since Westbrook was
lost for the rest of the playoffs to
knee surgery before Game 3. With
back-to-back wins, Houston had
Durant blaming himself for just
about anything that went wrong
for the Thunder even though he
scored 36 points and almost singlehandedly kept his team in the
game.
When asked about how first-time
starter Reggie Jackson has done filling in for the injured Westbrook,
Durant faulted himself for
demanding the ball too often from
the young point guard. When
questioned about Kevin Martin’s
awful three-point performance on
1-for-10 shooting, Durant offered
that he needed to be more encouraging to the sixth man.
Try as he might, Durant can’t do
it all.
“They don’t really care about
anybody else on the team,” the
three-time NBA scoring champion
said. “So, when I have the ball,
there’s like four guys guarding me
sometimes and I’ve just got to
make the pass. Tonight, we didn’t
make some shots, but I trust that
we’re going to make those wideopen ones. I’ve got faith that we’re
going to make those shots.”
Harden could hardly miss. Had
he stopped after his first seven
attempts, he would have tied
Robert Horry’s NBA record for most
3-pointers without a miss in the
playoffs.
“I just tried to go out there and
give it all I had,” said Harden, who
left Houston’s morning shootaround because of a lack of energy
and then slept all day.
“It was a win or go home, so I
got some shots to fall and I just
tried to not think about it.”
The Rockets played without starting point guard Jeremy Lin for the
second straight game because of a
bruised chest muscle. Key reserve
Carlos Delfino didn’t play in the
second half because of a sore left
foot.
They still had plenty of offense,
getting 21 points and 11 rebounds
from Omer Asik and 18 points and
five 3-pointers from Francisco
Garcia as six players scored in double figures.
Oklahoma City eliminated half
of Houston’s big lead before managing to stymie its own comeback.
Apparently doubting they could
overcome an eight-point lead on
their home court without
Westbrook, the Thunder resorted
to intentionally fouling Asik — a
54 percent free throw shooter —
with 5:33 to play. Asik went 8 for
12 from the line, extending
Houston’s lead to 101-92 with 3:53
remaining before Oklahoma City
gave up the tactic.
“It kind of slowed the rhythm
down a little bit,” Durant said.
Durant was scoreless in the
fourth quarter, missing all five of
his shots, and picked up a technical
foul with 22.5 seconds left for complaining to referee Bill Spooner.
“They do a great job taking it out
of his hands in that fourth quarter.
They were sending guys, faceguarding him throughout the quarter,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks
said. “We have to figure out ways
to get him moving and open.”
Reggie Jackson contributed 20
points for the Thunder. Kevin
Martin, who was acquired in a preseason trade for Harden, missed his
first nine shots before making a
jumper in the fourth quarter.
What was missing most, though,
was Westbrook.
“They miss him everywhere.
How would you not? He’s one of
the top players in the league,”
Houston coach Kevin McHale said.
“They probably miss him in the
locker room, miss him in
shootaround, miss him on the bus,
miss him on the plane, miss him
on offense, miss him on defense.
Did I miss anything?”

CHICAGO — The owner of the Chicago Cubs

the heart of Wrigleyville on Chicago’s North

HC: Broncos sign four from Tribland
Continued from page B1
At 6-4, Marc led the Patriots in
blocks (14) and he plans to bring
that same defensive attitude to the
Broncos program.
Gavers said it made his recruitment easier having seen and
prepped for those three guys in
high school.
“Seeing people in person is a
whole separate thing,” the coach
said. “Films have lied to me.”
The only exception is Grabill,
who starred for Silver Lake this
past season by averaging 15.5
points and 7.8 rebounds per contest. He was a member of the AllTribland third team. His school
didn’t play GICC, but Gavers
was able to see the 6-2 guard
workout with his team and likes
KATHY WILLENS/AP
New York Knicks forward Iman Shumpert (21)
and Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce fight
for the ball in the first half of their game
Wednesday in New York.
NBA: Celtics win
Continued from page B1
“I told you from Game 1 that this wasn’t going
to be a breeze, it wasn’t going to be a walk in the
park, them guys were going to fight and they’re
showing some fight right now,” Anthony said.
“They threw a couple punches at us now and it’s
time for us to do the same.”
The Celtics were the first of the eight NBA
teams that have come from 3-1 down, beating
Philadelphia in 1968, and put themselves on the
short list of teams that have erased a 2-0 deficit
the next year in the NBA Finals.
So perhaps it would be fitting if they were the
first to overcome 3-0.
“I think so. I mean, I think that would be wonderful, and someone’s going to do it and I want it
to be us, obviously, since that’s the situation we’re
in,” Boston coach Doc Rivers said before the
game. “Someone will do it, and I really want to be
a part of that.”
He’s still got a chance.
The Knicks limited the Celtics to 75 points per
game while winning the first three, and nearly
came back to win Game 4 on Sunday even without Smith. So they felt good even after missing
their first chance to wrap it up, when Anthony
was 10 of 35 in an overtime loss.
Point guard Raymond Felton said the Knicks
still feel in control of the series “for sure.”
“I mean, this is what playoff basketball is about.
Yes, we wish we could have swept them, yes we wish
we could have won that game tonight. Sometimes
things don’t happen that way,” he added.
what he sees.
“I was very impressed with his
athleticism,” the coach said. “He
gets up high, he runs the floor
well, he’s strong, he’s just a really
athletic kid, and I think he’s got a
huge upside.”
Grabill said he chose Hastings
College over Doane and the
University of Nebraska at Kearney.
“I’ve always come to basketball
games here. What it came down
to is it had what I wanted to do
academically and it’s a good program,” he said. “Those two reasons really got me here.”
Gavers said that the four signees
aren’t going to be his only recruits
this season, but he wanted to get
what he liked from the local talent
pool first.
“There’s talent locally, and obviously that creates a lot of interest,”
he said. “It’s a good thing. HC has
a good name everywhere.”
The coach also said that each
guy will need to work this summer
and get stronger in conditioning.
But just because they’re freshmen
doesn’t limit their chances in getting on the court. Gavers said that
former head coach Lance Creech
did a good job of getting the current players on the roster to a high
level of play, but even they’ll have
to compete for playing time.
“It doesn’t matter what grade
you’re in or what size you are,” he
said. “We’ll give every guy a good
look.”
Gavers managed to land four
recruits and work with his current
team while splitting duties
between Hastings and Grand
Island. In his practice time with
the Broncos, he’s remarked that
the players have been eager and
coachable. He hopes that the new
recruits will also display that desire
to learn.
“We’ve got a lot of talent back. I
think those guys are hungry,” the
coach said. “We’ve identified the
things we need to do to get to a
championship level. That’s what
we want to do, and our players
want that. We’re on the same
page.
“The big question we ask them
is, ‘How good do you want to be?’
Our players understand what they
want and are willing to go out and
work for that.”
7 feet: Phelps now a professor at Hastings College
Continued from page B1
“I focused on the high jump my
senior year because I got injured in
basketball and had a problem running. I couldn’t long jump or pole
vault anymore,” Phelps said.
That senior season, he would
break the state record five times
under the coaching of Garold
Moser.
After high school, Phelps competed for the University of
Nebraska. As a Cornhusker, he was
a three-year letterwinner and in
1978 he won both the indoor and
outdoor Big Eight championship in
the high jump.
His success wasn’t unique in that
it required hours and hours of practice, but the difference was that he
gladly took on the role of improving his skills and other aspects of
the high jump in his own free
time.
“I think there are some sports
that are more individualized that
you could work on on your own,”
he said. “I had great coaching, but
there was a lot of times during the
summer, and in my career, where
you could work on your own
time.”
That discipline, Phelps said,
played a role in his life after athletics.
Former Tribune sports writer
Dave Henion actually predicted
that in his story published May 26,
1975.
Henion wrote: “But the important thing about Phelps is this —
he would still be the same person
even if he could high jump only 58. That says something about the
Tiger standout. During his career he
has grown up as a person, an athlete who has ‘got it together.’ It will
serve him in good stead in years to
come.”
Now 56 years old, Phelps is an
associate professor of science education at Hastings College. He helps
future science teachers and is also
in charge of an instructional tools
class, focusing on technology in
the classroom. He’s also the coordinator of the master of arts in teaching program.
He married his high school
sweetheart, Diane. They have three
daughters.
“She was my original cheerleader,” he said.
He used his expertise gained in
high school and college to help
coach track and basketball at
Lexington for 10 years. He also has
helped high jumpers at Hastings
College.
All of his girls played sports in
high school, but he didn’t impress
on them that they had to meet his
athletic success.
One daughter, Katie, ended up as
an All-American in track for the
Broncos. But he took more satisfaction in his daughters’ love for
music.
“They really were good athletically. But I admired their other talents,
especially in music, that I did not
try and push them into athletics,”
he recalled, with a laugh. “I tried to
be supportive and coach their traveling basketball teams and stuff like
that, but when they felt it was time
to devote most of their time to
music, I was fine with that.”
Royals: Kansas City rallies from down 5 to beat Rays
Continued from page B1
It was 66 degrees and partly
sunny at first pitch Wednesday,
but the weather deteriorated
quickly. The temperature dropped
into the upper 40s by the later
innings, and winds gusting more
than 30 mph to right field turned
every ball hit out of the infield
into an adventure.
“When we were in batting practice, we were all in short sleeves
and sunglasses, and once the game
started it dropped from that point
on,” Yost said. “It definitely cooled
way, way off.”
Tampa Bay was hot from the
start, jumping out to a 2-0 lead on
Joyce and Zobrist’s back-to-back
homers. The solo shots also gave
Tampa Bay at least one homer in
16 straight games, setting a new
franchise record.
Kelly Johnson’s RBI double and
Desmond Jennings’ sacrifice fly
made it 4-0 in the second, and
Evan Longoria’s triple in the third
turned into another run on James
Loney’s base hit.
Kansas City clawed back in the
bottom half when Johnson homered over the wall in right field, his
first home run since last
September when he was still with
the Rays.
Scott answered for Tampa Bay
with a solo shot in the fourth, but
the Royals scored again in the bottom half when Gordon’s two-out
base hit cut the Rays’ lead to 6-2.
Kansas City kept peppering
Hellickson in the fifth, this time
with a leadoff double by Billy
Butler and an RBI triple by Cain.
Mike Moustakas followed with a
sacrifice fly to center field that
allowed Kansas City to get within
two runs.
“It looked like we were behind
the eight-ball,” Butler said, “but
we just stayed within ourselves
and kept pecking away.”

you’re likely to be unusually receptive to new concepts. This asset will
prove to be quite valuable
in helping you recognize
someone else’s ingenious
idea.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
— Don’t hesitate to make
a change to a current
project if you feel it
would help. Even if
you’re uneasy, you’ll
quickly find your comfort
zone.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) — You may get an
opportunity to spend
time with someone
whom you don’t know
well. This person could
very quickly turn into a
good friend.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) — This is a good day
to begin to distance yourself from an endeavor
that has proved unproductive. You’ll find that
once you get out, associates will likely do the
same.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) — If you’re wondering why a recent acquaintance is starting to warm
up to you, the answer is
simple. You no longer are
judging this person as
harshly as you once did.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) — A whole new
way of adding to your
resources might come
about through an unusual set of circumstances.
You’ll have to be on your
toes to spot it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) — You are about
to enter a new cycle
where your athletic skills
could begin to peak. Take
part in as many sporting
activities as you can.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) — Should you
amaze yourself in coming
up with an ingenious
concept for making or
saving money, believe it
and use it. It’s the real
deal.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) — Everybody around
you might require assistance or a backup, but
not you. You’ll function
best when operating independently.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) — If you’re not afraid
to experiment, you could
be closer to a major
achievement than you
think. With only a few
minor adjustments, you’ll
have what you desire.

Middle schooler’s hearing
aids can’t tune out laughter
D
EAR ABBY: Last year, I
began to lose my hearing due to a genetic disorder and now I have to wear
hearing aids. I
will be a freshman in high
school next
year. My
teachers all
have to wear
microphones
so I can hear
them.
Dear Abby
I’m scared
other kids will
make fun of me for being different. I have already gotten
laughed at. What should I do?
— EMBARRASSED TEEN
DEAR EMBARRASSED TEEN:
When people laugh at a person
who has a disability, it is usually out of ignorance. Because
this happened at school or
another place where there is
adult supervision, you and
your parents should talk to the
principal or person in authority
and explain why your hearing
aids and the microphone are
necessary. Your parents should
also have a meeting with the
principal of your high school
before you go.
When I was in grammar
school, a classmate of mine
had severe hearing loss.
Because the students understood what her problem was,
she was never ridiculed.
P.S. Making fun of a child
who has a disability is a form
of bullying, and should be
treated as such.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 25 and have
been with my husband for
nine years, married for four. I
cheated on him twice. He
caught me both times.
Even though I strayed, he
decided to stay. But now he
treats me like I’m a child and a
prisoner. He took away my
phone, my Internet and I can’t
go anywhere. He says this is
my punishment for what I did.
Do I really deserve that? I
know we’re both wrong, but is
he more wrong? — BROKEN
WIFE
DEAR BROKEN WIFE: From
where I sit, you are equally
wrong. How long ago did the
cheating incidents occur? If
they are recent, you two
should be in marriage counseling. If they were long ago, then
you must decide if you want to
live the rest of your life being
treated as a child and a prisoner.
Your husband doesn’t trust
you because you haven’t been
trustworthy. But taking away
your phone and Internet and
keeping you under lock and
key will not help you to rebuild
it.
You two need more help
than anyone can give you in a
letter, and I hope you will seek
it. If he won’t go for counseling, you should go without
him because I don’t think the
status quo can last.

DEAR ABBY: My sister and
brother-in-law passed away two
years ago. I am the only living
relative of their 28-year-old
son, “Louis.” He is a loner,
spoiled and a poor houseguest.
I invite Louis over only because
I don’t want him to be alone at
holiday times. My husband,
teenage daughter and I have
nothing in common with him,
and frankly, he spoils our holidays.
How can I stop inviting my
nephew without feeling guilty?
Or is there another solution? I
hate to make waves. — HOLIDAY HATER IN CANADA
DEAR HOLIDAY HATER: If
you invite your nephew for
FEWER holidays you will be
able to ease your conscience,
enjoy more holidays and allow
the young man a chance to
become more proactive in
planning entertainment for
himself.

DEAR ABBY: Is it presumptuous for someone to open the
message card on a flower delivery before you get home when
the flowers are for you? —
KIMBERLY IN MARYLAND

helpful, but nosy. And it
wouldn’t be out-of-line to tell
the person not to do it again.

Ask Mr. Know-It-All — No need to cry over changes
BY GARY CLOTHIER
United Media
Q: One of my favorite movies is
John Waters’ “Cry-Baby.” I have rented the movie and have seen it on TV.
There are some slight differences in
the two versions. Why? — W.Z.,
Rochester, N.Y.
A: “Cry-Baby” is an homage and
spoof of the 1950s teen-rock melodramas. The 1990 film features many
well-known actors, including Johnny
Depp, Amy Locane, Iggy Pop, Traci
Lords, Ricki Lake, Patty Hearst and
Willem Defoe, just to name a few. As
for slight variations in the movie, I
am told it’s not unusual for scenes to
be shot more than once, one time for
the big screen and another for the little screen. The change could be due
to length or content.
Q: I recall Elvis Presley studied
karate. Was he good? — M.L.G.,
Newton, Mass.
A: Presley received his first-degree
black belt on March 21, 1960. He
received honorary advancement
through the years, which culminated
in an honorary eighth-degree black
belt in 1974. Presley trained and
taught in regular classes with other
students in Memphis, Tenn.
Q: What was the artist El Greco’s
real name? — F.J., Chico, Calif.
A: El Greco was born Domenikos
Theotokopoulos. El Greco, which
means “the Greek” in Spanish, was
born in present-day Crete in 1541
and died in Toledo, Spain, in 1614.
Q: Even though Holland is famous
for its windmills, I know they did not
originate there. I forget where. Help.
— L.B.L., Rolla, Mo.
A: Windmills originated in Persia
(Iran) about 1,300 years ago.
Q: I’ve heard of the artist Grandma
Moses. What was her real name? Was
she really a grandma? — O.Z.,
Crawfordville, Fla.
A: Folk artist Anna Mary Robertson
Moses (1860-1961) didn’t start painting until she was in her 70s. She
became famous for her American
primitives. She had four children, 11
grandchildren and numerous greatgrandchildren.
Q: Chanel No. 5 is my favorite perfume. Why No. 5? — B.A.L., Aiden,
Ga.
A: Designer Gabrielle “Coco”
Chanel (1883-1971) introduced her
first perfume in 1921. She chose the
fifth perfume sample she was given,
and decided to keep the name,
“Chanel No. 5.” According to the
company, she considered five to be
her lucky number. She introduced
her perfume on May 5, the fifth day
of the fifth month.

NBC RENEWS 5
OF ITS DRAMAS
NEW YORK — Television
producer Dick Wolf will be
busy next season.
NBC said Friday that it has
renewed five of its dramas for
next season. Two of them —
the long-running “Law &
Order: Special Victims Unit”
and “Chicago Fire” — are
made by Wolf and his team.
“Revolution,”
“Parenthood” and “Grimm”
were also given the guarantee
that they will go on for
another year. Each was given
a full-season order of 22 new
episodes.
It’s less than a month
before broadcast networks
reveal next season’s schedule
to advertisers. NBC’s
announcement gives makers
of these series some extra
time to map out the stories
going forward and to write
scripts.
J
ules Renard, a French
author, said, “The only
man who is really free is
the one who can turn
down an invitation to
dinner without giving any
excuse.”
This week
we are studying responder’s rebids.
Look at the
auction and
South’s
hand. Can
Phillip
North have
four hearts for
Alder
his sequence?
What should
South rebid?
North cannot have four
hearts; if he did, he would
have rebid two hearts (the
major), not two diamonds
(the minor). So, as there cannot be a 4-4 heart fit, South
should rebid two no-trump.
This is game-invitational,
indicating some 10-12 points
and at least one stopper in
the unbid suit, hearts. (If you
use two-over-one game-forcing, you would respond one
no-trump forcing, then rebid
two no-trump over two diamonds.)
After North raises to three
no-trump, West leads the
spade king. How should
South plan the play?
What a dirty trick by West,
leading a spade instead of a
heart! South has six top tricks:
one spade, four hearts and
one diamond. If the diamond
finesse is working, there will
be no problems. But if it
loses, declarer will need a club
trick.
South should duck the first
trick and take the second
spade, to find out the break.
Then he should overtake one
of dummy’s heart honors as
cheaply as possible and run
the diamond jack. East wins
with his king and shifts to a
low club. What should declarer do?
If West has the club ace,
the contract has no chance.
So South should put up his
king, hoping for the best. If it
wins, he can claim.

This TV publicity image released by Fox shows James Purefoy as serial killer Joe Carroll confronting his next victim in the
“Welcome Home” episode of “The Following.”
Report: TV violence persists
DAVID BAUDER
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Violence,
gore and gunplay were staples
on prime-time television even
in the most sensitive period
directly following the
Newtown school shooting.
A study of 392 prime-time
scripted programs on broadcast
networks shown during the
month following Vice President
Joe Biden’s January meeting
with entertainment industry
executives on the topic revealed
that 193 had some incident of
violence, according to the
Parents Television Council.
Some are cartoonish — quite
literally, with Homer strangling
Bart for mouthing off on “The
Simpsons” — but there is plenty of gunplay, stabbings and
beat-downs.
Here’s a sample of the incidents captured by the PTC
between Jan. 11 and Feb. 11:
u A character on ABC’s
“Body of Proof” says he dreams
of ripping a woman’s brain out
while she’s still alive, but he’s
shot as he’s about to stick a
hook up her nose. Then he’s
pushed off a balcony and killed.
u A woman on Fox’s “The
Following” jams an ice pick
into her eye.
u A prison riot episode of
CBS’ “Hawaii Five-O” includes
one man trying to kill someone in a laundry room press, a
man snapping someone’s neck
with his legs and a man injected with something that causes
a violent convulsion.
u A man threatens hospital
workers on NBC’s “Chicago
Fire” with a gun before he’s disabled with a Taser.
u A gun fight on ABC’s
“Last Resort” is ignited by one
man stabbing another in the
abdomen with a screwdriver.
u A man on CBS’ “Criminal
Minds” is shot dead by the FBI
as he tries to cut the eyelids off
a gallery owner’s face.
u Two characters on Fox’s
“Bones” wake to find a corpse
hanging from the canopy
above their bed, dripping blood
onto them.
u An already bloody man is
dragged into a warehouse on
CBS’ “The Mentalist,” choked
to death and thrown in a furnace — all witnessed by a little
boy hiding in the building.
u A man writhes in pain on
Fox’s “Fringe” before a parasite
violently bursts out of his body.
He’s surrounded by the bodies
of others who had met the
same fate.
u A scene in ABC’s “Grey’s
Anatomy” features a woman’s
nightmare about sawing her
leg, as blood spurts and she
screams in pain.
u A gymnastics coach is
stabbed several times in the
groin on NBC’s “Law & Order:
SVU.”
u A man working on a coffee cart on “The Following” is
doused with gasoline and
burned alive.
u On CBS’ “Blue Bloods,” a
man aims a gun at a group of
children in the park before he
is shot dead.
u Even President Grant on
ABC’s “Scandal” gets into the
act, removing an oxygen mask
from a woman’s face so she suffocates.
Real life has continued to
intrude on television entertainment as the months go by.
NBC pulled an episode of its
serial killer drama “Hannibal”
after the Boston Marathon
bombing, as did ABC with a
“Castle” episode where a character stepped on a pressure-sensitive bomb. Some Newtown
parents objected to a recent
“Glee” episode that depicted a
school shooting.
“I think it is only going to
get worse,” said Dr. Victor
Strasburger, pediatrics professor
at the University of New
Mexico School of Medicine,
who has written frequently on
the topic of violence in the

feature a new story and characters.
Activision Blizzard Inc. said
“Ghosts” will be released Nov. 5
for PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
and next-generation consoles.
The game is being developed
by Infinity Ward, the Encino,
Calif., studio that created the
original “Call of Duty” and
reignited the military first-person shooter franchise with
2007’s “Call of Duty 4: Modern
Warfare” and its two sequels.
The previous “Call of Duty”
game, “Call of Duty: Black Ops
II,” crossed the $1 billion mark
in worldwide retail sales 15
days after its release last year.
media. He said media executives are “not willing to own
up to their public health
responsibilities.”
TV executives are reluctant
to talk about violent content,
and when pressed question any
link between what they air on
television and aggressive
behavior in real life. Schedules
get shifted around when tragic
events are in the news, but
there’s no indication they have
changed the types of programs
being made. Policy debates
have largely overlooked the
issue, focusing instead on background checks for gun owners
or bans on assault weapons.
In the past, networks have
disputed some of the PTC
methodology. Some comedic
moments are counted as violent episodes in PTC’s study
when they could be questioned, like a play swordfight
on “The Cleveland Show.” The
PTC doesn’t detail the one violent incident it counted on
Betty White’s “Off Their
Rockers,” but it’s hard to imagine comparing it to the serial
killer on “The Following.”
“I’ve had a hard time finding
these studies to be very useful
to parents or anyone who is
looking at this objectively,” said
Jim Dyke, executive director of
TV Watch, a Washington-based
advocacy group that opposes
government involvement in
television programming.
Still, it’s a sobering body
count.
The parents’ group said it
found not only an increase in
gore from other studies it has
conducted over 18 years but a
greater specificity and darkness
to the violence.
“There has been no accountability, in my opinion, in terms
of the degree and amount of
violence,” said Tim Winter, the
parents’ group president.
Broadcast networks find
themselves squeezed by cable
networks that are able to be
more explicit in what they
show; Dyke, in fact, said it is
unfair for a group like the PTC
to study broadcast violence and
not include what’s on cable.
There’s also a feeling that
they’re giving viewers what
they want. The explosive popularity of AMC’s “The Walking
Dead” among young viewers
has clearly made broadcasters
take notice.
Talking about the gore
involved in “The Following”
shortly before it went on the
air this winter, Fox entertainment chief Kevin Reilly said
nightmarish scenarios are part
of the entertainment menu
that a broadcast network needs
to provide to its viewers.
CBS RENEWS ‘TWO
AND A HALF MEN’
FOR ANOTHER YEAR
LOS ANGELES — CBS
says it’s bringing “Two and a
Half Men” back next season.
The network announced
the decision Friday on
Twitter. It didn’t address
whether the full cast would
return.
The series stars Ashton
Kutcher, Jon Cryer and Angus
T. Jones as Cryer’s son.
Jones’ character is serving
in the Army this season and
has been somewhat less visible on “Two and a Half Men.”
In January, the 19-year-old
actor apologized to CBS after
calling the popular sitcom
“filth” and “very inappropriate.”
CBS declined comment on
Jones’ future with the sitcom,
now in its 10th season.
‘SCREAM’ SERIES
NEW YORK — MTV is
getting ready to blast viewers
with a brand-new “Scream.”
The network says it will
produce a pilot for a TV-series
adaptation of the wildly popular slasher films. The series
would reinvent the horrorcomedy franchise that began
with the original release in
1996 and spawned three
sequels, the most recent in
2011.
MTV said the films’ original
director, Wes Craven, is in
discussions to direct the onehour pilot.
