Then: In 1946 the HastingsCorp. built a 14,000-square-foot building at419 E. South St. for theMode O’Day Corp. factory

to manufacture women’s blouses anduniforms.

The factory opened in June 1947and remained in business untilNovember 1984, employing usuallymore than 100 people, most of whomwere women. Hastings joinedFremont; Salt Lake City and Logan,Utah; Chanute and Ottawa, Kan.;Trinidad, Colo.; and Mason City,Iowa, as cities playing host to ModeO’Day factories.

Now: Mode O’Day has been closedfor nearly 30 years but its significanceis still felt throughout the community.

“It was a good place to work,” saidWanda Williams, who worked atMode O’Day from 1961 until theplant closed. “We all worked hard butwe made some lifelong friendships.”

Justin Bieberhits new low

MESFIN FEKADUThe Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — For more than a year,Justin Bieber has had more tabloid hits thanBillboard hits: The singer’s music career hastaken a backseat to his wild boyantics, and a new arrest for aDUI charge marks a new lowfor the Grammy-nominatedpop star.

Bieber’s arrest Thursday isanother sign of the crazylifestyle that has taken over the19-year-old’s image — but amore serious one given thegravity of his alleged offenses. Authorities sayBieber failed a field sobriety test early Thursdayand he is facing driving under the influencecharges after driving nearly twice the speed limiton a Miami Beach street. Police said he also resis-ted the arrest and smelled of alcohol.

After he was charged, some key industrywatchers were hesitant to talk about theCanadian-born singer’s woes and what it wouldmean to his imploding career.

But rapper Macklemore, 30, was sympathetic.He said if he had become a mainstream musi-cian when he was Bieber’s age, people wouldalso see his struggles.

PUBLIC GETS TO USE LATESTTECHNOLOGY AT LIBRARY

Eight-year-old Selah Wenburg gri-maced after each unsuccessful attempt.

She became more and more frustrat-ed as she spoke louder and tried toenunciate better the command “take apicture.”

Eventually, she was successful.“The Internet just doesn’t like me,”

she said later. “Siri doesn’t, either.”Selah was one of about 20 people to

attend a Google Glass demonstrationThursday evening in the HastingsPublic Library auditorium. It markedthe first public access to the GoogleGlass pair the library purchased lastmonth.

Collections librarian Jake Rundlewalked attendees through using thedevice he called “a computer for yourface.” He began by demonstrating avideo chat that projected onto ascreen in the auditorium everythinghe saw.

This early version of Google Glassdoes have drawbacks, such as aninability to enlarge photos. Plus,

Rundle said he has yet to hear about apair with an eye piece on the left side.

“It’s a pretty cool piece of technolo-gy, and it will get better,” he said.

To sort through a series of photos orvideos the user can brush a fingeralong the side of the headset, similar tosearching on a smartphone or tablet.

The library was able to purchase the$1,600 glasses because a friend ofRundle’s in Minneapolis had threeGoogle Glass invites. Rundle jumpedat the chance to introduce GoogleGlass to Hastings Public Library.

Nutritionfacts label getting amakeover

MARY CLARE JALONICKThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON — After 20 years, the nutri-tion facts label on the back of food packages isgetting a makeover.

Knowledge about nutrition has evolved sincethe early 1990s, and the Food and DrugAdministration says the labels need to reflect that.

Nutritionists and other health experts havetheir own wish list for label changes.

The number of calories should be more promi-nent, they say, and the amount of added sugarand percentage of whole wheat in the foodshould be included. They also want more clarityon serving sizes.

“There’s a feeling that nutrition labels haven’tbeen as effective as they should be,” saysMichael Jacobson of the Center for Science inthe Public Interest. “When you look at the label,there are roughly two dozen numbers of sub-stances that people aren’t intuitively familiarwith.”

JERUSALEM — ShulamitAloni, an Israeli legislator whochampioned civil rights andwas fiercely critical of Israel’streatment of Palestinians, diedon Friday. She was 85.

Meretz, the party she helpedfound and led, announced herdeath in a statement on itswebsite. The party did notreveal the cause of death.

Aloni was born in Tel Avivand fought in the 1948 warthat led to Israel’s creation. Firstelected to Israel’s parliament,the Knesset, in 1965, sheserved for 28 years and held anumber of Cabinet posts.

An audacious speaker andone of few women to openlychallenge the nation’s rabbis,Aloni fought for civil liberties,women’s rights and a separationof church and state. But herboisterous crusade for secularrights was perceived as offensiveby some ultra-Orthodox.

She irritated religious Israelisby being photographed at an

Arab restaurant with a bread-basket during Passover, whenobservant Jews don’t eat bread.

She created the Citizens’Rights Movement, or Ratz, in1973, with the primary goal ofridding Israel of Orthodox rab-bis’ monopoly over marriageand divorce.

But the party later took uppeace issues and the treatmentof Palestinians in the occupiedWest Bank and Gaza Strip. Alonibecame a loud dissenting voicein the governments she servedin, often criticizing new settle-ment construction in territoriesshe believed should be reservedfor a future Palestinian state.

BETH HARRISThe Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — EdHookstratten, an attorney whorepresented a galaxy of enter-tainment and sports stars includ-ing Johnny Carson and VinScully during a career of morethan 50 years, has died at 83.

He passed away Wednesdayof complications from conges-tive heart failure at his home inBeverly Hills, his son JonHookstratten said Thursday.

Hookstratten was a powerfuland iconic force in sports,entertainment and broadcastnews while representingCarson, Elvis Presley, DanRowan and Dick Martin of“Laugh-In” fame.

His news clients includedTom Brokaw, Bryant Gumbel,Jessica Savitch, and TomSnyder.

“The Hook was a one-manforce in the agency business,the last of the great and effec-tive lone operators who kneweveryone on both sides of thetable,” Brokaw said in a state-ment. “I remember the firsttime I hired him. I was up for abig job at NBC, and when Itold the executive in charge Edwould represent me, heclutched his heart and said,‘Oh, god, the Hook!’ I knewthen I was in good hands.”

Among his sportscasterclients were Scully, DickEnberg, Merlin Olsen, DickStockton, Don Meredith, cur-rent Miami Heat President PatRiley, Marcus Allen, and cur-rent University of SouthernCalifornia athletic director PatHaden. He served for severalyears as general counsel for theNFL’s Los Angeles Rams.

“Ed Hookstratten was a bril-liant lawyer, my representativeand one of my dearest friendsin all the world,” Scully said ina statement. “He introduced

me to my wife Sandi, was ourbest man at the wedding andwas there for me during mydarkest hours. My heart goesout to his family with deepestsympathy.”

Nicknamed “The Hook,”Hookstratten negotiatedGumbel’s move from NBC in1997 to CBS with a contractthat paid the former “Today”show host nearly $5 million ayear.

Hookstratten had a reputa-tion for getting his star clientsinnovative, lucrative andunprecedented deals.

“My father was a larger thanlife personality in a town thatspecializes in them,” JonHookstratten said. “He wasobsessed with taking care of hisclients who became a part ofhis family.”

For example, he says, mostof the nutrients are listed ingrams, a basic unit of the met-ric system. Jacobson says peo-ple don’t really understand

deputy commissioner for foods,says 20 years ago “there was abig focus on fat, and fat undif-ferentiated.” Since then, health

providers have focused moreon calories and warned peopleaway from saturated and transfats rather than all fats. Transfats were separated out on thelabel in 2006.

“The food environment haschanged and our dietary guid-ance has changed,” says Taylor,who was at the agency in theearly 1990s when the FDA firstintroduced the label at the behest

of Congress. “It’s important tokeep this updated so what isiconic doesn’t become a relic.”

The FDA has sent guidelinesfor the new labels to the WhiteHouse.

your life be a spectacle and tobe challenged and critiquedand judged. And it’s definitelyhard if you’ve never had anynormalcy in your adult life orin your teenage life,” saidMacklemore, who has struggledwith substance abuse. “I thinkthat’s very challenging. I thinkif I had blown up at 22 or 23, Ithink you would have seen me

do some (crazy stuff) in public.” The new year kicked-off in

dramatic fashion for Bieber:Detectives searched hisCalifornia home looking for

surveillance footage that mightserve as evidence that thesinger was involved in an egg-tossing vandalism case thatcaused thousands of dollars in

damage to a neighbor’s home.The investigation garneredmore attention than his albumrelease, which happened justdays earlier.

A group of about 30 formeremployees gather for lunchfour times a year. Williams isalso part of a smaller groupthat meets monthly for lunch.

Like most former ModeO’Day employees, Williamsgives credit for the family-likeatmosphere toD.W. “Monte”Malouf, whomanaged theplant from itsinception untila year before itclosed.

“He was apretty caringguy and hemade sure wewere all takencare of,” shesaid. “I guess itwas team work.I don’t knowexactly what itis that kept usfriends.”

Malouf diedin April 2008but his son,Monte Jr., whoworked at theplant in themid-1970s, said former ModeO’Day employees continue tosing his father’s praises.

“He understood the businessinside and out and he was afantastic boss,” Monte Jr. said.“Some of the Mode O’Day peo-ple around here today they allgot along with my dad really,really well. Dad was extremelyfair, he was very caring andcompassionate. He wanted tomake sure his employees werecared for and they were happy.”

Monte Sr. had no ties toHastings prior to moving fromLos Angeles to Nebraska.

“Dad was working for thecompany out in California,”Monte Jr. said. “The companydecided they were going tomake a move into the Midwest,my father apparently showed a

lot of initiative. They asked himwhere he would like to moveand he chose Hastings becausethat was one of the locationswhere they were going to buildmanufacturing plants.”

The Hastings Corp. sold theMode O’Day building, which isnow home to Kelly Supply, tothe Malouf family on April 1,1956. A 7,000-square-footexpansion was added in 1962.

Monte Sr. became deeplyintertwined in the community.In addition to his involvementin Mode O’Day, he served onthe Hastings City Council, 1958-1961; as mayor, 1972-1976; andon the Adams County Board ofSupervisors, 1984-1996.

His wife, Virginia, was the

first owner and operator of theMode O’Day retail store thatopened at 518 W. Second St.soon after the plant.

Early on the factory producedeight styles of blouses and twostyles of white uniforms.

The Hastings plant thenmoved on to polyester, elastic-waist pants and polyester two-piece sets.

“It evolved some over theyears,” said Joann Krebs, whoworked in the plant’s finishingdepartment, folding garmentsand placing tags, from 1960-1984.

Clothing produced inHastings was sold throughMode O’Day stores fromCalifornia to Illinois.

Employees were paid forpiece work, based on theamount of garment pieces theywere able to produce. Bundlegirls transferred the differentpieces from station to stationalong the assembly line.

“Most people if they workedthere they excelled at that anddid well and earned quite a bitabove what minimum wagewas at the time,” Krebs said. “Itwas a system that worked andif they weren’t capable thanthey weren’t there long.”

Betty Meyer worked at ModeO’Day for 30 years, until thefactory closed, starting as aseamstress.

“I don’t think young peoplecould do that now; they’re just

not geared for that,” she said.“You had to sew, you had toput out. You couldn’t be did-dle-daddling along.”

Monte Jr. said not only didhave Mode O’Day have a fami-ly-like atmosphere, it employedseveral actual family members.The factory employed marriedcouples and mother-daughterpairs.

He met his own wife, Karla,working there.

Krebs’ husband, Norman,was one of the few maleemployees. He worked there asa machinist, fixing brokensewing machines, for aboutfive years.

With 100 industrial-sizedmachines going at once it could

get quite loud in the factory. Meyer said it was really

something to use one of thosemachines.

“You put the pedal to themetal and you run her hardand fast,” she said about usingone of the oversized sewingmachines.

In 1984 the Wickes Corp.,which owned the Mode O’Daycutting and sewing facility inHastings and other cities,announced its intentions toclose the plant later that year.The Hastings factory employed100 people when it closed inNovember 1984.

“That was a bummer becausethat was a lively employmentfor a lot of ladies and had goodwages for the ladies,” said DeeHaussler, former director of theHastings EconomicDevelopment Corp., plus secre-tary and treasurer of theHastings Corp. “That was animportant plant to Hastings forall those years.”

He was part of the contin-gent who worked for nearly 10years to lure a new sewing busi-ness into the factory before giv-ing up and selling the equip-ment in the mid-1990s.

“That was the thing wethought we could do, is buythat equipment and try to getsomebody with another opera-tion somewhere else to put asatellite operation out here andkeep employing these people,”Haussler said. “That’s whyHEDC and the Hastings Corp.felt it was important to makethe investment in the equip-ment to do that.”

It looked as if a match hadbeen found in ProductsUnlimited Inc., which manu-factured pillows and hobbycrafts for various retailers. Thatdeal fell through.

“Unfortunately, with goodintentions nothing ever cameto pass,” Haussler said. “Whatlittle operations did get goingthey didn’t last very long.”

The glasses are available forpublic use at the HastingsPublic Library and librariansalso will begin taking them toactivities for public use.

The library has created aYouTube channel for videosrecorded by users.

Selah attended the demonstra-tion with her 11-year-old broth-er, Carter, and mother, Kili.

“I’ve heard about the GoogleGlass, I think it’s interesting,”Kili said. “It’s coming technolo-gy that I want to be informedabout and aware of. The avail-ability of the Google Glass is solimited right now I didn’t wantto miss this opportunity.”

Like her daughter, Kili also

struggled to take a picture andto use Google to search. Shechalked up most of the opera-

tion issues to the auditorium’swireless Internet connection.

Overall the experience was

positive, she said. “I thought it was really

amazing,” Kili said. “I expectedit to be more difficult. I wasable to see the demonstrationin the Google Glass and see therest of the room at the sametime. It’s actually prettydoable.”

Carter, a sixth-grader atHastings Middle School, hadused Google Glass before,when Rundle brought thedevice to Carter’s reading class.

The best application forGoogle Glass is to record,watch or read about any activi-ty that would take two hands,Rundle said. The examples hegave Thursday were cooking orchanging oil.

It’s possible, he said, thatGoogle Glass could provideactive directions as someone isdriving, similar to using a GPSdevice.

However, several states aredeveloping legislation prevent-ing the use of Google Glasswhile driving.

The benefits were obvious toKili.

“I love the idea of having therecipe directions come directlythrough the Google Glass whileyou’re cooking, just so youdon’t have to constantly begoing back to the cookbookand the stove and so forth,” shesaid. “You just have it with youall the time. Similarly with thedriving directions that wouldbe incredibly helpful — a lot ofreal world applications.”

If and when Google Glassbecomes more mainstream, Kilisaid she could see her familybuying a pair.

“I’m always hesitant to getnew technology,” she said. “Iwant to wait until the bugs getworked out. I do think there

are so many good practicalapplications that if the pricewere to come down I wouldcertainly consider it.”

Selah said the device couldhelp her father, JustinWenburg, a physician at theHastings Medical Park.

“He’s always looking on thecomputer for stuff,” she said. “Ithink it would be really easyfor him to just stay there andcheck his email at work so hecan get more done at work andthen have more free time athome.”

Kili agreed that Google Glasswould definitely benefit aphysician.

“He probably would be ableto take pictures of weird rashesand send it directly to a special-ist,” she said. “He does thatwith his cellphone now, butthat would be another applica-tion.”

There is no escape. The Super Bowlwill soon be upon us and apparent-ly by law the national conversationmust now switch to football. Beinga law-abiding person, I will do my

best to contribute. I’m neither a sports writernor football expert, but I do have expertise inoccupying a sofa near the TV.

From the vantage point of that sofa, I hearthat NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell saysthe league is considering abolishing the point-after attempt that puts the final dollop ofcream on a touchdown.

Of course it is. You may think that the NFLis a football organization, but in fact it is aBuddhist-like entity on a quest for perfection.It is for gridiron nirvana that the leaguechanges its rules from year to year.

For 2013, the league made at least sevenchanges to the game. For example. Rule 5,Section 1, Article 2 now allows tight ends towear numbers 40 through 49 and H-backs towear numbers 80 through 89. Thank good-ness for that.

But the consequence of all these rulechanges is to lend a degree of almost theologi-cal contemplation to the simple business oflarge people trying to move a pigskin down afield while other large people try to stop them.

To be an official in today’s NFL you have tohave a mind that can wrap itself around theever-shifting rules and the ever-complicated sub-tleties. It has become an almost superhumanchallenge. When it comes to an impressivegrasp of nuance, Supreme Court justices appear

by comparison to be a bunchof dumbos.

Indeed, it would not sur-prise me if young peopleaspiring to be philosophersand rabbinical scholars give itall up to wear striped shirts inthe NFL. It is where theaction is, where the greatquestions of American life areanswered, such as: “Did theplayer have control of the

ball all the way through the catch? Were bothfeet inbounds?” And my personal favorite:“Did he break the plane of the goal line?”

The plane of the goal line is a special objectof fascination. As the commentators havedescribed it to those of us on our sofas, theplane is an imaginary line that extends upand out to infinity. It can be broken by an air-borne player with the ball on, above or acrossthe plane of the goal line for a touchdown solong as part of the ball passed over or insidethe pylon. That is, unless the league changedthe rule.

It is really very simple. It basically means thatyou could be home enjoying your dinner andan NFL wide receiver could suddenly flythrough your kitchen window, followed soonafter by an official deciding whether the magi-cal plane was broken. Don’t say it couldn’t hap-pen. People in the NFL perform amazing feats.

The moment I realized that the NFL ruleshad become impossibly complicated camelate in the season, when the Steelers blocked afield goal attempt by the Green Bay Packers

and recovered the ball, only for it to go out ofbounds. Incredibly, the ball was given back tothe Packers. Of course, the play was notreviewable.

Why? Perhaps deep in the rule book it saysthe ball is given to the team with the besthats worn by supporters — and you can’t beatcheese in that situation. Perhaps the rules ref-erence one of the obscure provisions of theAffordable Care Act.

Now the league may get rid of the PAT, andkickers who have little to do except readsbooks of sonnets on the sidelines will haveeven less to do. True, we will be spared thesight of men in tight pants crouching withtheir butts in the air. This is not my cup oftea, but some people like it. Unfortunately, Isuspect my wife is one of them.

Mr. Goodell is thinking about this changebecause he finds PATs almost automatic, thusboring. Yet while they succeed 99 times out of100, it is the one missed kick that is theessence of sports. Besides, when it comes toboring, nothing beats the referee going underthe hood to review a play and perhaps Skypewith his mother.

Yes, I know some of the rule changes aredesigned to stop concussions, and that iscommendable, but the NFL has a good gameand the league dates back to the 1920s. It’spast time to settle on the rules for the sake ofsofa dwellers everywhere.

The Grand Island Independent

“Good time” would become “earned time”under a prison reform plan proposed by Gov. DaveHeineman, Attorney General Jon Bruning andOmaha Sen. Scott Lautenbaugh.

Heineman, Bruning and others are trying toaddress an issue that arose last year after NikkoJenkins allegedly killed four people in Omaha afterhe was released early from prison.

State law gives inmates a one-day reduction intheir sentence, or good time, for each day served inprison. Heineman and Bruning want that good timeto be given to prisoners convicted of violent crimesonly for good behavior and completion of rehabilita-tion programs, which is done in 31 other states.

While Heineman’s proposal has a lot of merit,the issue is muddied by several issues that can belaid at the governor’s feet. First, at a press confer-ence last week the governor made a demeaningand petty comment.

Heineman said those who oppose his plan are“soft on crime” and “stand with the criminals ofthe state.” How ridiculous.

The governor was pointing the finger at two crit-ics of the state’s prison system — state Sen. ErnieChambers and State Ombudsman Marshall Lux.

The governor seems to think that anyone whohas the audacity to be critical of his administrationdeserves to be belittled. Just because someone iscritical of the state’s prison system doesn’t meanthey are “soft on crime” or “stand with criminals.”In reality, it’s just a ploy to deflect attention awayfrom the Heineman administration’s failings thatwere on display in the Nikko Jenkins case.

In fact, Lux has raised a lot of strong points thatneed to be addressed. First, a change in the goodtime law is going to make overcrowding at thestate’s prisons even worse. The state’s prisons noware holding 1,700 more inmates than their designcapacity.

To his credit, Heineman acknowledged this inhis State of the State speech. He proposed usingcounty jails and a state prison work camp inMcCook to relieve overcrowding, hiring 59 morecorrections officers and looking at alternatives toincarceration for nonviolent offenders.

The point the governor ignores is that in his 10years in office he has done little to nothing tosolve the prison overcrowding problem.

Second, Lux said that 1 in 7 inmates, or 700,were on waiting lists for rehabilitation programs.That raises the question of how the state can makegood time contingent on completion of rehabilita-tion programs when the state fails to fund the pro-grams at an adequate level.

A change to “earned time” would have to providefunding that would allow that time to be “earned.”

Most Nebraskans would agree with Heinemanand Bruning that violent criminals should have toearn reductions in their prison sentences. Thatonly makes sense.

However, they would also say that the statecan’t afford to neglect adequately funding theprison system or more Nikko Jenkins cases willarise.

NFL is just bonkers about changing rules

So maybe they knew what they weretalking about all along. It’s not as if Idoubted them or anything, but younever know. Anyone who has spentmuch time traveling, particularly on

Interstate 80, in recent years has no doubtseen huge windmill parts rolling down theroad.

I’m talking about the three-blade electricitygenerating windmills. Each of the blades lookbig enough when you see an assembled wind-mill out in a field, but they’re absolutely hugewhen being transported down the highway.

Sometimes you have to wonder if it’s reallyworth it to bring them out in this area. Isthere enough wind to allow them to spinenough to produce an efficient supply of elec-tricity? After this winter, I’ll never doubtagain.

We may not have much snow this season,but we’ve had the wind. It seems like therehave been more very windy days the past fewmonths than normal.

There has been more chasing of garbagecontainers down the street, more finding thenewspaper in the neighbor’s yard, more tyingdown the loose end of anything that didn’tget stored in the garage for the winter. Andmore days with wind chill numbers with thelittle minus sign in front of them.

We’ve even had school closings and delaysbecause of wind chill warnings. It has methinking we’ve entered into the era of thewind.

Now that I think of it, though, I may have

it all backward. All of thistime I’ve been thinkingthose were wind-drivendevices being hauled downthe Interstate to be assem-bled at their destination.

There’s a big “wind farm”up around Ainsworth. TheBroken Bow area is becom-ing home to more of themall the time. Maybe they’renot windmills; maybe

they’re actually fans generating all this arcticwind. Someone needs to see if we could getthem to turn them off for a while — thiswind is really getting irritating.

SHORT AND SWEETWhile on the topic of weather, I’m trying to

come up with a short method of letting usknow if the weather’s going to be decent ornot. The idea came to me last Saturday whilestanding in the wind all day at a Boy Scoutsevent.

The way I see it, there are three main nega-tive weather descriptions: cold, windy, cloudy.They’re offset by their positive counterparts:warm, calm, clear (or sunny).

I’m starting to think you just have to letme know if it’s going to be a double-negativeadjective day. Then I can decide if I want toventure out at all, or call in sick and hide out.Single negatives or a negative/positive mix, Icould handle.

Cold and calm aren’t too hard to handle.Cold and windy, that’s another story. Cloudy

and cold is just plain uncomfortable, but giveme sunny and cold, I should be OK.

Anytime you’re using two of the negativesto describe the day, I’m not interested. One ofeach, it should be tolerable. Two positives?Now were talking.

It’s kind of like the signs you might haveseen in some service shops. They’re the onesthat say there are three ways to get the serviceyou need — good, cheap and fast — and youcan only have two of those. You can have itgood and fast, but it won’t be cheap. Goodand cheap, but it won’t be fast. Or cheap andfast, but it won’t be good.

It’s all in the pairings of the words.That could well be the inspiration for my

shorthand weather forecast. Never mind thefour-minute weathercast. Don’t show me coldfronts and upper level winds and super-duperDoppler radar and hour-by-hour, inch-by-inch projections and whatever else youlearned in meteorology school.

Just tell me: Is it going to be a double nega-tive day or not?

If you really must insist on some details,then I’m good with saying which two nega-tives we’re in for. We could maybe even addrainy and snowy to the list of negatives so Iknow if I need an umbrella or snow boots.

With the weathercasts going much quicker,I’ll have more time to prove my conspiracytheory of the windmills really being fans.

Payton’s mother, Tabitha Manning,thanked attendees for coming to her daugh-ter’s “last party” so they could celebrate herlife.

Payton died Jan. 15 after a stray bulletentered her north Omaha home. Authoritiessay the bullet was connected to a shootingabout a block away that involved multiplepeople, weapons and gunfire.

Several Omaha leaders attended the serv-ice, including Mayor Jean Stothert and sever-al city council members.

SKIN CANCEROMAHA — Omaha Public Schools

Superintendent Mark Evans has revealed thathe has a common form of skin cancer andwill undergo treatment over the next month.

Evans, 54, who started as superintendentin July, announced his diagnosis at thisweek’s school board meeting.

Evans has basal-cell carcinoma, the mostcommon type of skin cancer.

The treatment is topical, and he does notplan on taking any medical leave.

Evans told the newspaper that studentsand staff should learn from his diagnosis toalways wear sunscreen. Evans says that as ayoung person in the 60s and 70s, he wasn’taware of the importance of sunscreen and isnow suffering the consequences.

BANK ROBBERYLINCOLN — A 51-year-old man has been

given four to seven years in prison forattempted bank robbery in Lincoln.

Online court records say Terrance Vogel, atransient, was sentenced on Thursday. He’dpleaded guilty after prosecutors reduced thecharge from robbery. The judge also gaveVogel credit for 169 days already served injail.

Police say Vogel was arrested on Aug. 6just outside a Great Western Bank branch,carrying more than $8,000 he’d gotten froma teller.

FIRED OFFICEROMAHA — An Omaha police officer fired

following allegations of excessive force willbe returning to work.

City officials said that an arbitrator in thecase ruled that Officer Bradley Canterburycan return to work.

Canterbury was one of four officers fired inApril after the March 21 arrest of threebrothers, including 28-year-old OctaviusJohnson. Johnson was grabbed from behind,thrown to the ground and later struck sever-al times while on the ground by Canterbury.Police were unaware at the time that aneighbor was recording the arrest, and thefootage surfaced online.

Canterbury, a Marine Corps veteran whowas hired by the department in 2008, wasthe only officer to appeal his firing to anarbitrator.


Stiffer penalty eyed for assaults of helpersGRANT SCHULTEThe Associated Press

LINCOLN — Assaulting afirefighter, paramedic, or socialworker could carry a stifferpenalty under a bill presentedThursday to a Nebraska legisla-tive panel.

Sen. Steve Lathrop of Omahasaid Thursday his proposalwould impose the same potentialpenalties as the crime of assaulton a police officer. Lathrop saysthe bill seeks to protect profes-sionals who are sometimesattacked by people they’re tryingto help.

The bill would upgrade theassault charge to a felony, with amandatory minimum sentenceof three years in prison and amaximum of 50 years. It wouldapply to firefighters, out-of-hos-pital care workers and employeesof state corrections and theNebraska Department of Healthand Human Services.

“They are in a vulnerable situ-ation,” Lathrop told theLegislature’s JudiciaryCommittee. “They do not expectto be assaulted ... and they’re nottrained to deal with an assault.”

The measure was partlyinspired by a woman who pulleda gun on a firefighter-paramedicin Omaha while riding in theback of an ambulance in July.Prosecutors say the gun went offduring a struggle and injuredparamedic Brock Borhart. Thewoman being treated, JustineDubois, was shot in the leg.

The 24-year-old was later sen-tenced to 11 years in prison aftershe pleaded no contest to mak-ing terroristic threats, use of aweapon to commit a felony, pos-session of a gun by a prohibitedperson and theft.

Borhart expressed support forthe bill in a letter to lawmakers,saying the incident changed hislife forever and left him withabdominal wounds, shrapnel inhis hand and burns on his leg.He said he believes Duboisintended to kill him to avoidgoing to prison for marijuanapossession and stealing a car.

“I shouldn’t have to go on amedical call to help someoneand wonder if my patient is car-rying a weapon or not,” he saidin the letter. “Sadly, though, it isbecoming a reality. I’ve wokenup more than once in the mid-dle of the night, drenched insweat, awoken by what Ithought was the sound of gun-shots.”

Assaults on firefighters andemergency responders are fairly

common in the profession, withan estimated 750,000 reportednationwide each year, said DaveEngler, president of the NebraskaProfessional Fire FightersAssociation, a state labor group.More than half of working emer-gency medical technicians havebeen assaulted, according to theU.S. Department of Labor.

In December, the FederalEmergency Management Agencyrecommended that fire agenciesequip firefighters with bullet-proof vests when responding to adangerous situation. The recom-mendation came in response tothe Sandy Hook Elementary

school shooting in Newtown,Conn., and the BostonMarathon bombings.

Engler said Nebraska’s emer-gency responders have been heldat knifepoint and firefightersassaulted.

“Unlike the average citizen,we’re called to unknown situa-tions,” Engler said. “We have anobligation or a duty to respond.And our personnel do not carryany type of weapons.”

In 2012, Lathrop successfullypushed for a law that added thesame possible penalty for assault-ing an on-duty doctor or nurse.

Sen. Ernie Chambers of

Omaha criticized the new bill,saying lawmakers shouldn’t cre-ate harsher punishments forattacking people in specific pro-fessions. He also said the billopens the door to other profes-sions, such as lobbyists and attor-neys, to ask for special considera-tion.

“If you (offer first aid) becauseyou have a job, you’re put anotch above ordinary citizenswhen it comes to the kind ofprotections you think the stateshould have,” Chambers said.“This does not actually preventany of these assaults from occur-ring.”

$1M winner able to ‘seize the day’The Associated Press

KEARNEY — Whoever boughta Powerball ticket in Kearney that’sworth $1 million has decided toremain anonymous, behind a legalcloak.

Nebraska Lottery spokesmanNeil Watson said that with thehelp of a Kearney lawyer, the win-ner or winners have created alegal entity called Carpe DiemLLC. The saying “carpe diem” isLatin for “seize the day” and

comes from a line written by afamed Roman poet, Horace.

The lawyer, Dan Bahensky, saidthe legal entity will make thingseasier for his clients.

“I think they intend to just con-tinue life as is and feel fortunatethat this happened to them,”attorney Dan Bahensky said of hisclients.

About $700,000 will be elec-tronically transferred in about twoweeks. The remaining $300,000 is

being withheld for federal andstate taxes.

The ticket was bought Dec. 21and matched five of the six num-bers drawn that night. They were25, 36, 40, 45, 51 and Powerball8.

There’s been plenty of localspeculation about who won a mil-lion bucks.

Employees at the Pump &Pantry convenience store thatsold the ticket said a woman came

into the store on Dec. 26 to verifythe winning ticket. She told thecashiers she’d didn’t know untilthat night that she’d won $1 mil-lion on Dec. 21. The woman did-n’t leave her name.

“As far as I know it’s a localKearney person,” the store manag-er, Ron Lux, said the next day.

The store has been awarded a$10,000 retailer’s bonus from theNebraska Lottery for selling thewinning ticket.

University punishing fraternityThe Associated Press

LINCOLN — The University ofNebraska-Lincoln on Thursdaysuspended a fraternity’s activitiesfor alcohol and fire code viola-tions and barred members fromliving in the chapter’s house.

Members of the Delta Eta chap-ter of Sigma Nu are now makingother housing arrangements. Theschool said freshman membersmust reside at university resi-dence halls.

Fire code violations forcedinspectors to ban the 50 or so res-idents after firefighters respondedto a call there on Sunday. Severalbottles of alcohol found insidethe house are also a violation ofschool policy, according to UNLspokesman Steve Smith.

University police officers werealso looking into whether thefire alarm had been tamperedwith.

A haze and chemical smellthroughout the house werecaused by a hand-held fire extin-guisher and household cleaningsupplies in the basement, fire offi-

cials said.“Frankly, the house was a

mess,” said Juan Franco, the uni-versity’s vice chancellor for stu-dent affairs.

“We are disappointed in havingto impose sanctions on thishouse. But it is the properaction,” Franco said in a newsrelease Thursday.

The university investigation iscontinuing, and more sanctionscould be imposed.

The national Sigma Nu execu-tive director, Brad Beachem, saidthe fraternity suspended the localchapter’s activities pending aninvestigation.

“Sigma Nu Fraternity is deeplyconcerned by this situation andfully supports the actions takenby local officials to ensure thesafety of the student residents,”Beachem said.

Franco said university adminis-trators are working with the chap-ter’s alumni and advisory boardand with Sigma Nu’s nationaloffice on steps the local chaptercould take to be reinstated.

State Sen. Steve Lathrop of Omaha has proposed a bill that would protect professionals whoare assaulted by people they’re trying to help much like police officers who are attacked.


LINCOLN — Nebraska tourismofficials are clarifying their effortsto change the state’s official sloganand symbol.

The Nebraska TourismCommission said a bill introducedWednesday in the Legislature isaimed at giving officials the powerto rebrand. The current slogan,“Welcome to NEBRASKAland —where the West begins,” includesthe image of a covered wagon. Itwas approved in 1963.

The tourism office has receivedcomplaints from the public overthe misconception that officialsare trying to get rid of an unoffi-cial “The Good Life” slogan onmany state highway signs.

Nebraska Tourism CommissionExecutive Director Kathy McKillipsays the bill is not about takingaway a specific slogan or symbol,but about creating a brand forstate tourism. They plan to unveila new slogan and symbol thisspring.

United MediaDEAR DOCTOR K: I have cirrhosis

of the liver. I also get tensionheadaches. What pain reliever can Itake for my tension headaches?

DEAR READER: One of the liver’smany jobs is detoxification — riddingthe blood of toxins. Cirrhosis, a liverdisease, interferes with the liver’s abili-ty to detoxify substances in theblood.

Your liver sees medications as tox-ins. When your liver is compromised,medications that are normally con-sidered “safe” may no longer be safefor you.

The safest pain medicine for some-one with cirrhosis is acetaminophen(Tylenol). However, even this is morerisky in people with cirrhosis. That’sbecause this medicine can be toxic tothe liver. There is some evidence thatit may be more likely to injure a liver

already damaged, such as from cir-rhosis.

I advise patients with cirrhosis notto take more than 2,000 milligrams(mg) in one day, or more than 650mg per dose. That’s the equivalent oftwo regular-strength acetaminophentablets. Take acetaminophen for theshortest time as possible. Some doc-tors believe it’s OK for people with cir-rhosis to take as much as 3,000 mil-ligrams (mg) in one day, but I’mmore conservative.

When possible, use non-drugstrategies to relieve pain. Here aresome strategies you can try when youexperience a tension headache:

— Ice or heat, and rest. Numb thepain with an ice pack, wrapped in atowel and applied to your foreheadand temples for 15 minutes at a time.If muscle tension accompanies yourhead pain, apply heat packs to yourneck and the back of your head.Retreating to a dark, quiet room to

rest can also help.— Tai chi and yoga appear to

reduce headache frequency andseverity. But they don’t help relieve aheadache once it has begun.

— Acupuncture involves insertingfine needles into the skin. This mayrelease endorphins, the body’s naturalpainkilling chemicals. Acupuncturecan be used for relieving head pain asit occurs and for reducing headachefrequency.

— Biofeedback. Head pain is oftentriggered by muscle tension. Duringbiofeedback sessions you’ll learn torecognize when you’re tensing up themuscles in the back, neck, shouldersor head — and to relax them beforethey cause pain. Biofeedback treatsand prevents tension headaches.

— Massage. I’ve had severalpatients who have found that mas-sage of the muscles in the back of theneck gave them relief, though I knowof no studies proving its value.

The Family Circus By Bil Keane

DEAR ABBY: Myboyfriend, “Chad,” pro-posed two months ago,

but he didn’t ask my parentsfor my handin marriage.My parentsare upsetabout it.

When I real-ized that Chadhadn’t gone tothem, I askedhim why. Hesaid he wasfollowing what his father haddone — proposing first andthen speaking to the parents.But Chad still hasn’t done it. Infact, he has yet to be aroundthem at all.

How do I get my boyfriendto speak to my parents? Theyare no longer as angry as theywere, but they still would liketo talk to him. I spend lots oftime with Chad’s family, but Ican’t get him to even go tolunch with mine.

Dad said that if Chad doesn’tclear the air with him, he maynot bother showing up at ourwedding! What do I do, Abby?— FIANCEE IN A FIX

DEAR FIANCEE: You appearto be quite young. If I wereyou, I would take a step back-ward and see this from yourparents’ point of view. Itappears that Chad wasn’tentirely honest with you whenhe gave his reason for not talk-ing to them. Could he beintimidated?

When a daughter marries,most parents want to knowsomething about the youngman — not only where he hasbeen, but also what are hisplans for the future, includingwhere the two of you will beliving and whether he has ajob. That Chad is hiding fromthem isn’t a good sign.

When most couples becomeengaged, the parents of thebride and groom usually gettogether and start to form arelationship. If your father has-n’t met your fiance, it makes itharder for your parents toreach out to his. When the in-laws are friendly, it makes for amore harmonious marriage.

As it stands, it appears Chad

is not interested in having anyrelationship with your family.Frankly, I can’t blame yourfather for being upset about it.

DEAR MIKE: You do nothave to quote chapter andverse when someone asks aquestion. You could say thatyou met when you were bothquite young without going intothe specifics.

Justin Bieber’s arrestThursday on suspicion of driv-ing under the influence andother offenses adds his name,and mug shot, to the gallery ofstars who enjoyed early successand eventually ended up inhandcuffs.

Bieber’s fate remains unclear.While his arrest probably won’tlead to his deportation toCanada or a lengthy jail term,it is the latest incident in astring of bad behavior that hasthe pop singer under investiga-tion for felony vandalism andfacing a lawsuit over a con-frontation with a paparazzo.

Atlanta-based attorneyDaniel Meachum, who has rep-resented Michael Vick andWesley Snipes, said that youngstars face extraordinary scruti-ny of their actions and theirresponse to early trouble willresonate for years.

“Wisdom only comesthrough experience,”Meachum said. “And, (Bieber)does not have that yet. Whatyou hope is the people aroundhim that have the wisdom canimpart that wisdom on himand to him in such a way thatit keeps him from makingsome of the mistakes that hecould make in the future.”

Here’s how some young starshave fared after their arrests:u LINDSAY LOHAN — A

star of Disney films whose act-ing received early praise andattention, Lohan’s 2007 twoarrests for DUI and drug posses-sion still haunts the actresstoday. While the 27-year-oldhas put those cases behind her,she remains on probation for anecklace theft case and lying topolice about her role in a crashin Santa Monica, Calif. Afterseveral stints in jail and rehab,a judge ordered the “MeanGirls” star to remain in treat-ment until her probation endslater this year. A return to act-ing glory remains elusive,despite several high-profile —and critically drubbed — roles.u CHRIS BROWN — The

R&B’s 2009 arrest hours beforethe Grammy Awards for thebrutal beating of then-girl-friend Rihanna shatteredBrown’s squeaky-clean image.The singer’s career reboundedand he went on to win aGrammy Award, but has stum-bled in recent months withallegations that he lied aboutperforming his communityservice, didn’t exchange theproper information after afender-bender and hit a manoutside a Washington, D.C.,

hotel. Brown now faces a tightdeadline to complete 1,000hours of community labor andcourt cases on both coastsbefore he can put the legalconsequences of his attackbehind him.u EDWARD FURLONG —

Furlong’s role in “Terminator 2:Judgment Day” made him astar at age 14, but he’s strug-gled in recent years with addic-tion and several domestic vio-lence-related cases. He avoidedjail time when he was sen-tenced in July to three monthsin rehab and counseling. Hiscareer in major Hollywood pro-ductions has been dormant foryears.u TATUM O’NEAL —

O’Neal made Hollywood histo-ry when she became theyoungest person at age 10 towin an acting Oscar for her rolein “Paper Moon.” The actressdetailed her long struggles withaddiction in a 2004 memoir,but was arrested four years lateron suspicion of cocaine posses-sion. She said she was stoppedbefore relapsing and creditedthe arrest with saving her life

and keeping her sober.u AMANDA BYNES — A

star of Nickelodeon’s “AllThat,” executives gave Bynesher own variety show whenshe was still a teenager. Thechild star avoided trouble untilshe was arrested for grazing asheriff’s patrol car in 2012.Since then, she has beenrepeatedly arrested for drivingwithout a license. The actressspent part of last year involun-tarily committed after she lit afire in the driveway of a homein her hometown of ThousandOaks, Calif. Her parentsrevealed that Bynes had beensuffering from mental illness inrecent months and was experi-encing extreme paranoia. Anattorney for the actress saidrecently that she is studying fora career in fashion design afterbeing released from a treat-ment facility.u COREY HAIM — A teen

heartthrob who starred in filmssuch as “The Lost Boys” and“Lucas,” Haim endured a diffi-cult and drug-addled transitionto adulthood. In 1993 Haimwas arrested for threatening his

business manager with a BBgun. The charge was laterreduced to a misdemeanor, butHaim struggled for years withdrugs and his co-star and friendCorey Feldman has spokenabout repeated attempts tohelp the actor. Haim died in2010 from pneumonia compli-cations and his death was rulednatural.u MACKENZIE PHILLIPS

— A young star of the 1970sTV series “One Day at a Time,”Phillips was arrested in 1977for public drunkenness andcocaine possession. She wasfired from the show and strug-gled with addiction for years.In 2008 she pleaded guilty tofelony drug possession after anairport screener found her witha small amount of drugs. Thecase was eventually dismissedafter she successfully complet-ed a drug diversion program.Phillips occasionally appears insmall TV roles and wrote amemoir that revealed she had adecade-long sexual relationshipwith her father, pop star JohnPhillips of the Mamas and thePapas.

FELICIA FONSECAThe Associated Press

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. —Captain and Tennille, the pop-ular 1970s married pop duothat sang of sharing foreverand of love keeping themtogether, are splitting.

Cathryn Antoinette Tennille,better known as “Toni,” hasfiled in an Arizona court to endher 38-year marriage to DarylDragon, or “The Captain.” Thetwo already are listed as ex-hus-band and ex-wife on their web-site, which says while theirmarriage appeared to be rock-solid, “almost all people natu-rally evolve over time, (and)sometimes hidden feelings startto be uncovered.”

The divorce petition says thecouple’s marriage is irretrievablybroken. They were married thesame year their hit song, “LoveWill Keep Us Together,” earneda Grammy award for record ofthe year in 1975.

Tennille’s attorney declinedcomment Thursday, and a callto Dragon’s number in Prescottwhere the couple retired in2008 went unanswered.

The two have no children.

The divorce petition asksthat any community property,debt and obligations be equi-tably divided. It also states thatneither Tennille, 73, norDragon, 71, is entitled to or inneed of spousal support.

While Tennille has beenactive in Prescott, voicing overa promotional tourism videofor the city in 2011, singing atlocal spots and trainingAustralian shepherd dogs,Dragon’s health kept himwanting to stay home. Tennillewrote in a blog in 2011 thattremors due to a neurologicalcondition had made it difficult,if not impossible, for Dragon toplay the keyboards and that hewas embarrassed to go out inpublic.

Kim Kapin, a formerspokesman for the city ofPrescott, said he sought outTennille and her “killer pipes”for the promotional video. Hewas surprised to hear back from

Tennille’s manager within aweek of sending a script, hesaid.

“Toni was totally preparedand committed to being direct-ed and giving us what weneeded,” Kapin said. “Not anounce of pretentiousness.”

The Captain and Tennille had14 songs on the pop singleschart, with half of them in theTop 10. Their songs also includ-ed “Muskrat Love,” “Do That ToMe One More Time,” and“Shop Around.” The duo alsobriefly hosted a variety show.

Before Tennille left therecording studio in Prescottwhere she touted the city’smild climate, roots as thestate’s territorial capital andcultural heritage on the video,Kapin asked her to sing a fewbars of “Muskrat Love.”

Christmascompetitionanswerscommence

Here are theanswers to thefirst two ques-tions in myChristmas

Competition.1. How should South plan

the play insix clubsafter Westleads atrump andEast followssuit?

Southshould finishdrawingtrumps, cashthe heart ace,play a dia-mond to dummy’s queen,ruff the heart jack in hishand, and lead another dia-mond to the dummy.

If the diamonds split 3-2,declarer is playing for anovertrick by taking two spadefinesses. So, let’s assume dia-monds are 4-1.

If East has four diamonds,South cashes the last highdiamond, then gives East thelead in diamonds. Now if Easthas the spade king, he is end-played. If he leads away fromthat king, declarer runs thetrick around to dummy’squeen, then plays a spade tohis jack. (If East does not havethe spade king, the contracthas no chance.)

Alternatively, as in the dia-gram, if West started withfour diamonds, South shouldnow lead the spade queenfrom the board. If the finesseloses, again the contract wasunmakable. So let’s have Eastcover the queen with hisking. Declarer wins with hisace and exits with his last dia-mond to endplay West, whomust either lead around intoSouth’s jack-nine of spades orconcede a ruff-and-sluff.

2. Suggest an uncontestedauction to six clubs.

This is tough. It is mucheasier to end in six diamonds,which makes with this distri-bution. I accepted anythingreasonable.

The winners will be givenin the column of March 22.

SESAME STREET PROJECT AIMSTO BOOST KIDS’ HEALTH

MARILYNN MARCHIONEThe Associated Press

Bert and Ernie jump rope andmunch apples and carrots, andCookie Monster has his namesaketreat once a week, not every day.Can a Muppets mini-makeover

improve kids’ health, too?A three-year experiment in South America

suggests it can. Now, the Sesame Street proj-ect is coming to the United States.

Already, a test run in a New York City pre-school has seen results: Four-year-oldJahmeice Strowder got her mom to makecauliflower for the first time in her life. Aclassmate, Bryson Payne, bugged his dad fora banana every morning and more salads. Aparent brought home a loaf of bread insteadof Doritos.

“What we created, I believe, is a culture”of healthy eating to fight a “toxic environ-ment” of junk food and too little exercise,said Dr. Valentin Fuster, a cardiologist atNew York’s Mount Sinai Hospital.

Six years ago, he started working withSesame Workshop, producers of television’sSesame Street, on a project aimed at 3-to-5-year-olds.

“At that age they pay attention to every-thing” and habits can be changed, he said.

The need is clear: A third of U.S. childrenand teens are obese or overweight. Manydon’t get enough exercise, and a recentstudy found that kids’ fitness has declinedworldwide. They’re at high risk for heart andother problems later in life.

“The focus is younger and younger” to tryto prevent this, said Dr. Stephen Daniels, aUniversity of Colorado pediatrician and aspokesman for the American HeartAssociation. The group’s annual conferencein November featured Fuster’s experiment asone of the year’s top achievements in heartdisease prevention.

For Sesame Street, the project offered achance to improve the lives of young view-ers and give a makeover to certain Muppets.

“While Cookie Monster is an engaging fig-ure, we felt there was an opportunity there

to really model healthy eating,” said JorgeBaxter, regional director for Latin Americafor Sesame Workshop.

The new message is that certain things likecookies are “something you can eat some-times, but there are some foods that you caneat all the time,” like vegetables, he said. Thehealthy messages have been gradually incor-porated into the television show, and its pro-ducers even made a doctor Muppet — Dr.Ruster (pronounced “Rooster”) — in Fuster’simage for the preschool project.

It launched in Colombia because U.S.schools that Fuster approached years agowere reluctant, but a wealthy family’s foun-dation was willing to sponsor the experi-ment in Bogota.

It involved 1,216 children and 928 parentsfrom 14 preschools. Some were given theprogram and others served as a comparisongroup.

Kids had training on healthy habits andhow the body works for an hour a day forfive months using Sesame Workshop-pro-duced videos, a board game (the “heartgame”), songs, posters and activities. Parentswere involved through take-home assign-ments and workshops that focused on over-coming barriers to good food and exercise.For example, in areas with poor access toparks or play spaces, parents were coached toencourage kids to use stairs instead of eleva-tors and to walk instead of taking a bus.

Children’s weight and exercise habits weremeasured at the start and 1 1/2 and 3 yearslater. Although many moved or dropped outby the time the study ended, researchersdocumented a significant increase in knowl-edge, attitude and health habit scores amongkids in the program versus the comparisongroup.

The proportion of children at a healthyweight increased from 62 percent at the startto 75 percent at three years for those in theprogram. Ironically, in Colombia, that most-ly meant that more undernourished kidsgrew to reach a healthy weight.

In New York, where the program plans tolaunch in several early childhood and HeadStart programs this spring and fall, projectleaders will have to tackle under- and over-weight kids.

“A lot of the kids are from low-income

families, shelters,” and many have pooraccess to healthy foods, said Rachael Lynch,director of educational services for anEpiscopal Social Services preschool, TheLearning Center, in Harlem. “It’s a mecca forfast food around here. We’re trying to getthem to walk past the Chinese food or pizzaor McDonald’s, to go home and make some-thing.”

Her preschool tested the Sesame Streetproject last summer and “it really took off”with kids and parents, she said.

“They love it. The kids relate, I can’t stressit enough,” to the Sesame Street characters,she said.

The program had kids work in a nearbycommunity garden one day a week to learnabout growing vegetables. They had a “mys-tery food box” to reach inside, feel and guessthe contents, then use what they found tomake a healthy snack such as smoothies,fruit salads, microwaved baked apples andapple dip.

Children took home a “weekend update”to list and draw pictures of what they ate.Parents were asked to sign it to encourage anadult focus on healthy meals.

Kateshia Strowder said the program had abig impact on her and her daughter,Jahmeice.

“We’d be in the grocery store and shewould name every vegetable. It’s amazing.Brussels sprouts — she likes it. Cabbage —she likes it,” Strowder said. “I’m not a veg-etable eater, to be honest. But I had to learnto do those things for her.”

Donte Payne said the same for his son,Bryson, a 4-year-old who also was in theHarlem program.

“It made him more interested in eatingmore healthy things,” Payne said. “Hebecame very interested in salads. He lovessalad now.”

In Colombia, the program is now expand-ing to about 20,000 children, and in Spain, aproject is starting in Madrid. In New York, afoundation Fuster runs at Mount Sinai willsponsor the U.S. launch, aided by privatedonors.

Dr. Jaime Cespedes, a pediatric and heartspecialist who helped lead the project inColombia, believes it will succeed whereverit is tried.

Study dispels‘obesity paradox’

WEIGHING MORE DOESN’T BOOSTSURVIVAL FOR DIABETICS

MARILYNN MARCHIONEThe Associated Press

The “obesity paradox” — the controversialnotion that being overweight might actually behealthier for some people with diabetes — seemsto be a myth, researchers report. A major studyfinds there’s no survival advantage to beinglarge, and a disadvantage to being very large.

More than 24 million Americans have diabetes,mostly Type 2, the kind that is on the rise becauseof obesity. About two-thirds of U.S. adults areoverweight, including one-third who are obese.

Weighing too much increases the chances ofheart disease, cancer and premature death. Butsome small studies have suggested this mightnot be true for everyone, and that Type 2 diabet-ics might even benefit from a few extra pounds— a “metabolic reserve” to help get themthrough sickness.

The new research — which looked at deathsaccording to how much people weighed when theywere diagnosed with diabetes — dispels that idea.

“We didn’t see this protective effect at all,”said one study leader, Deirdre Tobias of theHarvard School of Public Health. “The lowestrisk was seen in the normal-weight category.”

The National Institutes of Health and theAmerican Diabetes Association paid for thework. Results are in this week’s New EnglandJournal of Medicine.

“It’s a very convincing study” and largeenough to give a clear answer, said one inde-pendent expert, Dr. Patrick Remington, associatedean for public health at the University ofWisconsin-Madison.

It involved 11,427 female nurses and malehealth professionals diagnosed with diabetessometime after enrolling in two long-runninghealth studies. They were grouped according tobody mass index, a measure of height andweight. People with a BMI over 25 are consid-ered overweight, and 30 or higher, obese. A 5-foot-8-inch person would be overweight at 164pounds and obese at 197.

During more than 15 years of follow-up, therewere 3,083 deaths. The lowest risk was amongthose in the normal range — BMIs of 22.5 to 25.

For the rest, researchers saw a J-shaped curve —deaths trended higher at both extremes. Being justa little overweight did not substantially raise therisk of death, but the trend was in that direction.

The study was big enough that researcherscould look at subgroups. For those under 65when they were diagnosed with diabetes, therisk of death rose directly in relation to BMI. Thesame was true of people who had never smoked.

Trends for smokers and people over 65 wereless uniform. Smokers had higher death rates ingeneral. Smoking suppresses appetite and con-tributes to lower weight, but contributes sostrongly to many diseases that it can overshad-ow and complicate efforts to measure the effectof weight alone, Tobias said. Older people havemany other health conditions that also make ithard to see the effect of BMI.

The results support guidelines urging peopleto keep a healthy weight, said Dr. Donna Ryanof Louisiana State University’s PenningtonBiomedical Research Center.

day stretch for the Hawkettes. Throwin STC’s Jan. 14 game againstNorthwest (currently 12-1 and nowranked No. 1 in Class B), and St.Cecilia’s last four opponents enteredThursday night with a combinedrecord of 44-1.

Although St. Cecilia enteredThursday with three straight losses, theHawkettes had been competitiveagainst all three opponents — a 41-31setback to Northwest, a 63-57 overtimeloss to Minden and a 42-31 defeat toKearney Catholic.

“It was tough,” Farmer said. “Weknew what was coming. We thoughtwe would have had it. We just had toplay intense, which we did. We could-n’t have asked for much more. Weplayed hard. It just didn’t come outthe way we wanted.”

Farmer was a big reason St. Ceciliawas able to snap its losing streak, bothoffensively and defensively.

Defensively, the 5-foot-3 Farmertook on much of the responsibility ofguarding all-state senior guard TaylorMenke.

The 5-11 Menke was held without apoint in the first quarter and had justtwo points at halftime, as St. Ceciliatook a 26-14 lead into the locker room.

“(Farmer) is just so quick,” Kile said.“She understands what a point guardwants to do with the ball. When theyreverse pivot, she’s already there. Shejust does a tremendous job working onthe ball.”

Menke ended up going off for 13points in the third quarter en route tofinishing with 20 points, but Friendnever got closer than seven points inthe second half.

FAIRFIELD — The Blue Hillgirls basketball team (12-1)continue to roll through theircompetition as they defeatedSandy Creek (9-7) 55-45 onThursday.

The Bobcats utilized the free-throw line early, and often, ontheir way to winning theirninth-straight game.

Blue Hill was 23-of-38 (60percent) from the charitystripe, compared to SandyCreek’s 8-of-20 (38 percent).The Bobcats attacked the bas-

ket and got into the bonusearly on in both halves, help-ing them thwart any comebackfrom the Cougars.

“Overall, I think we playedpretty well,” Blue Hill headcoach Tim Streff said. “We’vehad some easy games cominginto tonight, and I was worriedabout Sandy Creek. We knewwe we’re going to have to stepit up, and we did after the firstquarter. We knew Sandy Creekwas a physical, defensive team.We had to be more aggressiveoffensively.

against the Cougars. “I’m excited for this win,”

Blue Hill head coach Joe Hublsaid. “Our boys have beenworking their tails off. I knowwe scored well in the secondhalf, but it was our defensethat made the stops that wehad to make in the fourthquarter.”

Girls: Blue Hill wins 9th straightSandy Creek played a man-to-

man defense, a look that Blue Hillhasn’t seen much of this season.The Cougars’ stifling defense causedproblems for the C-2 No. 9-rankedBobcats, especially early.

Sandy Creek forced 18 Bobcatturnovers in the first half, but stilltrailed 25-19 at the half. Unable tocapitalize, Sandy Creek committed19 turnovers their own.

“There were some half-timeadjustments, but it was the fact thatwe haven’t played anybody whopressured us like that,” Streff said.“Sandy Creek is a great defensiveteam. They gave us some toughlooks.”

Senior Maci Coffey had 24 pointsand 17 rebounds to lead theBobcats while junior guardMackenzi Willicott had 19 points.

“We played well together,”Coffey said. “Our rebounding waskey to getting us going in the fastbreak. That was our main goal. Ilike to go rebound the ball. That’smy job. But it’s a team effort. My

team relies on me and I rely onthem. It’s a real team effort.”

Sandy Creek senior MorganDickson had two of her team-high17 points with 5:47 left in the gameto cut the Blue Hill lead to 42-37.

Coffey and Willicott would scoreten of the next 13 Bobcat pointsdown the stretch to put the gameaway for Blue Hill.

“This game will make us better,”said Coffey. “The teams we’ll playduring district time will play mandefense. Our team needed to see alook like this.”

“You don’t just come into SandyCreek and win easily. It’s been a fewyears for us since we’ve won here. Idon’t care if it was a one-point win,or a 12 point win. We needed atough game, and this game is hope-fully going to help us out in thelong run,” Streff said.

“Jayden and I had a little chat athalftime,” Hubl said. “He’s a capa-ble player who can easily score 20points a night. He’s only a sopho-more and he’ll only get stronger.”

“Coach does what he does,” saidHamel. “He’s always after me inpractice and he’s always there togive me encouragement to gofaster, go harder, to get thoserebounds and work hard. He reallygot after me at halftime.”

Trailing 45-41 with 4:21 left toplay, Bobcat junior Jason Poe hit abasket while being fouled that cutinto the Sandy Creek lead. On theirnext possession, Hamel scooped upa missed shot and put the ballthrough the net putting Blue Hillup 46-45.

Sandy Hill would answer with

back-to-back baskets from KendallDickson and Brandon Liposky with1:50 left to play. Liposky had ateam-high 19 points for theCougars.

Trailing 49-46, Hamel andRuybalid would connect on twostraight possessions, giving BlueHill a 50-49 lead with 1:50 left toplay.

With 0:43 seconds left on theclock, Liposky would sink two free-throws to put his team ahead 51-50.

Getting to the free-throw linewas key for the Bobcats, and inparticular, Mitchell Ruybalid.Ruybalid isolated a defender andgot in the lane, drawing a foul andconnecting both free-throws. With0:32 left to play, Blue Hill led 52-51.

On their next two possessionswith the game on the line, theCougars committed costlyturnovers.

Down 54-51 with 0:03 left toplay, Sandy Creek head coach MattSwartzendruber called his last time-out. The inbound play from half-court was stolen by the long reachof Hamel, securing the win for theBobcats.

“We were just making sure theycouldn’t get any easy shots,”Hamel said. “Brandon Liposky is areally good player. We didn’t want

him to get any easy shots. Ourdefense stepped up, especiallylate.”

The Bobcats are now playingtheir best basketball of their seasonand have instituted new looks onboth sides of the ball.

“The last few games we’ve beenmixing our defense up,” Hubl said.“Our kids have adapted well to thechange. That’s been a key in ourrun because they give everythingthey have. We had a tough sched-ule in the beginning and we lostone of our best post players. Ourguys have stepped up andembraced our rotation. They’redetermined to play well.”

“We’re excited to be about .500finally,” Hamel said. “It’s good toget a good, close win. This was atough battle. I’m really excited”

TVC: Shelton/Kenesaw wins conference titleplaced fourth and Red Cloud/Blue Hill(24) rounded out the competition atfifth.

Shelton/Kenesaw head coach JoelFerguson knows his team is in a goodposition to do well as the season startsto wind down.

“I like where we’re at right now. Wejust won our home meet, and now wecome back and show some toughness,but we’re a little banged up and missingsome of our better wrestlers and thathurts,” Ferguson said. “Still we wrestledwell enough as a team to win.”

Nearly every weight class was roundrobin style with the only exceptionbeing classes where there were onlytwo wrestlers at 113, 120 and 220.

Shelton/Kenesaw’s Michael Duffy,rated No. 1 in Class C at 195 pounds,continued his unbeaten season with apair of victories. He improved to 22-0on the season.

In the final round, Duffy pinnedHarvard’s Colton Ives in the secondround to clinch the 195-pound cham-pionship.

“(Michael’s) having a great year,”Ferguson said. “His expectations arehigher than what they were last year.He wants to be back in the state finalsand wants to win gold. Every day, heworks extremely hard to get there.”

Ives went 1-1 and finished second.The Devil Dogs’ David Jimenez

(106) continued his winning ways, aswell. The fourth-ranked wrestler in hisweight class, Jimenez needed just 49seconds to pin Franklin’s DrewGoosic, who placed second. Jimenezimproved to 20-4 on the year.

Ferguson said two wrestlers whoreally stepped up in the tournamentwere Jack Duffy (152) and Chris Gard

(160). Both won their respectiveweight classes. Gard pinned SouthCentral’s Brandon Ward in 1:18 forthe championship in the final round.

“Jack (Duffy) stepped up big, win-ning conference and beating twoquality kids,” Ferguson said. “Chrisbeat a high-quality kid, too. They justshowed that they can wrestle andthey can do this.”

Ferguson said it feels good to getanother championship in front of theShelton/Kenesaw faithful.

“It’s a little bit about pride whenyou have back-to-back home meets,”he said. “People saw you win yourhome tournament, so expectations arethere for you to win again because ofwhat they saw in the past. The kids,for the most part, relished it and wres-tled very well.”

Franklin’s Mack James — rankedNo. 2 in Class D at 126 pounds — ledthe Flyers with another pair of wins,improving to 25-0 on the season. Inthe second round, James recorded his100th career victory.

“I was really excited. I finally gotmy 100th win, and it’s been a goodyear,” James said. “That was one of(my goals), and now the next one isto go undefeated all year.”

In the third round, James battledElmer Montanez of Shelton/Kenesawfor the 126-pound championship.James led 4-3 after round one, andthen dominated the next two for a12-6 victory.

“Mack’s been wrestling well lately.We just want to keep him healthy andkeep him moving forward,” saidFranklin head coach Ryan Hoffman.“Hopefully, at the end of the year, itwill pay off.”

Franklin’s Owen Grube wrestled just

one match to claim the championshipat 120. Brody Lewis (132) also won hisweight class after pinningShelton/Kenesaw’s Jaison Andrist.Tristan Christiancy won the 170-poundweight class for the Flyers. His final-round match was the second-last of thenight. Christiancy pinned SouthCentral’s Calvin DeVries with just threeseconds left in the second. The winclinched second place for the Franklin.

Hoffman was unsure about how histeam would do in the conferencetournament as the Flyers were withoutseveral wrestlers Thursday.

“We wrestled pretty well. We com-peted hard, which is what I want tosee as a coach,” he said. “We only hadseven, as we have five guys out rightnow with different injuries. We didn’tknow how the day would go, but itended up all right.”

South Central’s Dawson Messengerimproved to 22-1 after needing justone match to claim the 113 champi-onship. He pinned Shelton/Kenesaw’sDalton Kautz in 40 seconds. SC’sKaleb Shafer (138) and Logan Searle(182) also won their respective weightclasses. Searle’s two victories gave hima record of 26-4 on the season.

Harvard had two champions inDallas Doupnik Jr. (220) and DouglasJohnson (285). Doupnik Jr. handedShelton/Kenesaw’s Zac Oliver his firstloss of the season, pinning him oneminute into the first round. DoupnikJr. improved to 18-2 on the year, whileOliver fell to 22-1.

Red Cloud/Blue Hill’s James Fullerwas the Warcats’ only champion. Inthe final round, he defeated Harvard’sRafael Gurrero 7-6, giving Fuller his20th victory of the season.

STC: Hawkettes handFriend first loss of season

“We knew that she was abig player,” Farmer said ofMenke. “Coming off lastweek, we knew that we need-ed to be intense on D becausewe know our offense comesright off our defense. Whenour defense is strong, ouroffense is there.”

St. Cecilia built its double-digit lead at the end of thefirst quarter, going on a 9-0run over the final five min-utes to take a 15-3 lead intothe second quarter.

St. Cecilia’s defense heldFriend to just 1-of-14 shootingin the first quarter.

“All year long, we’ve saidthat — come out of the lockerroom with a quick start,” Kilesaid. “It’s always a big thing,no matter who we’re playing,just to have that confidenceand that rhythm.”

Farmer powered St. Ceciliain the first quarter, scoring 10of the Hawkettes’ 15 points.She kept it up in the secondquarter, scoring seven morepoints, to help St. Ceciliamaintain its 12-point lead.

Friend cut STC’s lead toseven points midway throughthe third quarter, but St.Cecilia answered with sevenstraight points — five byFarmer — and never let Friendget closer than nine the restof the way.

Farmer scored her 31 pointson 13-of-21 shooting. She alsohad six steals.

“I’ve been working on herconfidence,” Kile said. “Shehad a little confidence issuethe last week. I’ve just beenwhispering in her ear.

“I told her to be aggressive.She’s so good at attacking andthen you throw a 3-pointer inhere and there. She does somany good things with theball in her hands.”

Junior Clare Hamburgeradded nine points and 12rebounds for St. Cecilia,which is back in actiontonight against AquinasCatholic (5-8) before openingplay in the CentennialConference tournament nextweek.

A year ago, the Hawkettes

suffered a similar three-gameskid — losing against thesame three teams — beforegoing on to win theCentennial Conference tour-ney and go all the way to theClass C-2 state championshipgame before losing again.

“It’s very useful for thegames coming up,” Farmersaid “Last year, we bouncedright back. So, hopefully, we’llgo on that roll again.”

Hastings High’s Tim Thies competes in the 200-yard freestyle against Columbus Thursday atthe Hastings Family YMCA.

Swimming: Tigers fall toColumbus in hard-fought dual

“He’s just a sophomore and Ithink (Vizoso-Marino is) veryexceptional,” Hoffman said.“He’s very, very fast in the but-terfly, the intermediate and thebackstroke. He has a secondarytime in the backstroke and but-terfly right now. He’s got a lotof upside for the future.”

Foreman took home the 100back style in 1:01.65 — histhird victory of the dual. Headded a second place time of24.63 seconds in the 50freestyle.

Thies picked up a pair of run-ner-ups in both the 100 (52.86)and 200 freestyle (2:02.75).Shea added a second place timein the 100 breast stroke(1:11.77).

“We also have a freshman inTim Thies, and he’s really fast

in the 50,” Hoffman said. “Hehelps out our relays and hedoes well.”

The only Tiger who has auto-matically qualified for the statemeet, thus far, is sophomorediver Kaz Chavira. He openedthe dual on a strong note whenhe finished second in the 1-meter competition with acumulative score of 171.55.

Laura McCarthy, a junior,added runner-up finishes inboth the girls 50 freestyle(27.66) and 100 breast stroke(1:21.06).

The final tally had theDiscovers’ boys earning a 111-70 victory. The Columbus girlscruised to a 131-32 victory.

“They have some goodswimmers — Columbus isprobably our hardest dual,”Hoffman said.

But with the home crowd,and a handful of small victoriesthroughout the dual, the coachappeared encouraged after-ward.

One of those small victoriesis freshman Will Parker. Parkeris deaf, which is a challenge atthe start of a race. His team-mates help him know when togo. And Parker competed well,finishing sixth out of nineswimmers in the 50 freestyle(29.77). He also picked up twoteam points by placing fourthin the 500 freestyle (6:26.66).

As the season’s end drawscloser, Hastings High can alsobe encouraged with the future.Hoffman is in her second sea-son as head coach, but its herfourth year in the program,and this year’s team was thebiggest in her tenure.


Nadal beats Federer in semisJOHN PYE

The Associated PressMELBOURNE, Australia

— Rafael Nadal continued hisdominant streak over RogerFederer to reach the AustralianOpen final for the third time,beating the 17-time major win-ner 7-6 (4), 6-3, 6-3 Fridaynight to set up a championshipdecider against No. 8-seededStan Wawrinka.

the Open era.Nadal missed the 2013

Australian Open during aseven-month layoff for illnessand a knee injury, but returnedto win the French and U.S.Opens among his 10 titles forthe season and finished theyear at No. 1. He won theAustralian Open in 2009, beat-ing Federer in the final, and lostin a five-set, 5-hour, 53-minute2012 final to Novak Djokovicafter ousting Federer in thesemis. In other years, he’s strug-gled with injuries — it’s theonly Grand Slam tournamenthe hasn’t won at least twice.

“It’s really, really emotional

for me to be back on this court,Rod Laver Arena, and to beable to play another final,”Nadal said. “I think tonight Iplayed the best match of thetournament. I go on court(against Federer) knowing thatis a really tough match and if Iam not playing my best, I willnot have the chance to win.”

At the end of the night,Federer knew he wouldn’teven be the No. 1-ranked play-er in Switzerland next week.By reaching his first majorfinal, Wawrinka ensured he’dreplace Federer as their coun-try’s highest-ranked player forthe first time.

CANDICE CHOIThe Associated Press

NEW YORK — McDonald’sis losing customers, as theworld’s biggest hamburgerchain struggles to attract dinerswith its higher-priced sand-wiches and new offerings likeMighty Wings.

“We’ve lost some of our cus-tomer relevance,” CEO DonThompson conceded Thursdayon a call with analysts.

The Oak Brook, Ill.-basedcompany reported disappoint-

ing sales for its fourth quarter,as fewer customers visited itsestablished restaurants. Guestcounts at those locations fellnearly 2 percent globally and1.6 percent in the U.S. in 2013,according to a regulatory filing.And McDonald’s expects somechallenges to persist this year.

To win back traffic,Thompson said the chain willfocus on speedier service, bettervalue offerings and raising“awareness around McDonald’sas a kitchen and a restaurant”

that prepares high-quality food.It’s expanding prep tables andplans to beef up staff duringpeak hours for better execu-tion. It is also bringing in anew U.S. marketing chief,Deborah Wahl, formerly withhomebuilder PulteGroup andautomakers Chrysler and Ford.

After outperforming rivals foryears, McDonald’s Corp. is facinga shift in eating habits towardfoods people feel are fresher orhealthier. The company hasadded options such as chicken

wraps and breakfast sandwichesmade with egg whites to keep upwith the trend.

But it’s received a “mutedresponse.” Chief Operating OfficerTim Fenton said on the call thatsome of the new offerings “over-complicated” the restaurants, forc-ing longer wait times.

Thompson also noted that inthe U.S., fast-casual restaurantsnow appear to be performing abit better as customers with a lit-tle more to spend skew towardthose chains. However,

McDonald’s main customer base“isn’t faring quite as well in thecurrent economy.” And that’smade competition with rivalssuch as Burger King and Wendy’sall the more fierce. All threechains have been aggressivelypromoting their value menus inthe fight for customers.

To address concerns that thestrategy could eat into profitmargins, McDonald’s recentlyupdated its decade-old DollarMenu. The “Dollar Menu &More” now includes items that

cost around $2 and $5.McDonald’s said the new menuis meeting expectations.

For the quarter, McDonald’ssaid global sales slipped 0.1 per-cent at established locations asweak sales in the U.S. andJapan were countered by strongsales in Britain, Russia andFrance. The figure is a key met-ric because it strips out thevolatility of newly opened andclosed locations. For January,McDonald’s expects those salesto be flat overall.

The Associated PressTOKYO — Toyota remained

the top-selling automaker for asecond year in a row, beatingU.S. rival General Motors bysome 270,000 vehicles in 2013,and set an ambitious target tosell more than 10 million vehi-cles this year.

That would mark a milestoneas no automaker has evertopped annual worldwide salesof 10 million.

Toyota Motor Corp. saidThursday it sold a record 9.98million vehicles worldwide last

year, up 2 percent from theprevious year.

The Japanese automaker hasmade an impressive comebackfrom an earthquake and tsuna-mi that devastated northeast-ern Japan in 2011, damagingauto suppliers and hobblingproduction.

Toyota also outlined plans tosell 10.32 million vehicles andproduce 10.43 million vehiclesin 2014.

General Motors Co. sold 9.71million cars and trucks worldwidelast year, outselling Volkswagen

AG of Germany at 9.5 million. Toyota recaptured the global

sales crown in 2012 from GM,which had been the top-sellingcarmaker for more than sevendecades until being surpassedby Toyota in 2008.

Toyota, which makes theCamry sedan, Prius hybrid andLexus luxury models, hadstrong sales growth last year inoverseas markets, althoughsales fell in long stagnant Japan.

Toyota’s U.S. sales totaled near-ly 2.24 million vehicles, up 7percent from the previous year.

Its China sales were also strong,surging 9 percent to 917,000.

Toyota remained optimisticabout prospects this year forboth regions, expecting sales togrow 3 percent in the U.S. to2.3 million vehicles, whileadding 20 percent in Chinasales to 1.1 million.

The company was typicallylow-key about the braggingrights for being No. 1, reiterat-ing its comments from previ-ous years that it was merelymaking one car at a time toappeal to global consumers.

GM has also expressed simi-lar sentiments, but being thetop seller is a key morale boost-er for the employees and relat-ed companies. The healthyresults at the three rivals reflectthe momentum of growth inthe auto industry.

Toyota has undergone toughtimes in recent years, such as amassive recall fiasco in the U.S.involving more than 14 millionvehicles for sticky gas pedals,faulty floor mats, problematicbrakes and many other defects,spanning several years from 2009.

SNOW, WHITEOUTCONTRIBUTING

FACTORS IN CRASHON I-94 IN INDIANA


MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. —A couple from Michigan and aman from Chicago were killedin a massive pileup on a snowyinterstate in northwesternIndiana, authorities said Friday,as crews cleaned up after the40-plus-vehicle wreck.

More than 20 people wereinjured in the crush of semi-trailers and mangled passengervehicles Thursday afternoon onthe eastbound stretch ofInterstate 94 connectingChicago with Detroit. Two ofthose are critically injured,Indiana State Police Sgt. AnnWojas said.

Snow and whiteout condi-tions were contributing factors,

police said. A band of heavylake-effect snow was droppingup to 2 inches of snow perhour with visibility at a quar-ter-mile or less at the time ofthe wreck, National WeatherService meteorologist EvanBentley said.

Thomas Wolma, 67, and his65-year-old wife Marilyn, werekilled in the crash, LaPorteCounty coroner John Sullivansaid early Friday. The Wolmas,of Grand Rapids, Mich., werereturning home after takingcare of a relative in Wisconsinwhen they were caught up inthe massive crash, Sullivansaid, citing the couple’s son.

Sullivan said JerryDalrymple, 65, of Chicago, waskilled in his car, along with hisdog.

Two box trucks and 18 semi-trailers were among the 46vehicles involved in the wrecknear Michigan City, about 60miles from Chicago, Wojas said

at a news conference Friday.The eastbound lanes of I-94

remained closed Friday morn-ing as crews continued workingto clear the scene, state policeCpl. Larry Koebcke said. Cranesand wreckers were brought into help remove the wreckage,and officials haven’t estimatedwhen all the lanes will reopen.

Drivers stuck in the backupThursday could only wait andtry to stay warm as tempera-tures hovered around 10degrees.

Stacey Johnson, 37, had afamily emergency and wastraveling from westernMichigan to Tennessee withher three sons, ages 3, 9 and10. She told The AssociatedPress she’d researched roadconditions before leavingbecause she was worried aboutthe weather. She didn’t knowabout the accident until trafficstarted crawling and thenstopped.

Nearly five hours later, longafter she’d planned to stop fordinner, her car was still sittingon the westbound side of thehighway. A woman in the carnext to hers noticed she hadchildren with her and offeredcereal, popcorn and fruit totide them over.

Scott Collins, 17, ofChesterton, Ind., was riding ina car with three other teensand saw the crash happen justbehind them.

“One of the semis startedsliding and I think it jackknifedin the middle of the road” andcollided with another semi, hesaid. “After that happened,multiple semis locked up. ...We were pretty nervous.”

Indiana State Police Sgt. AnnWojas said 20 to 30 peoplewere injured, including onewith life-threatening injuriesand another who was flown bymedical helicopter to a hospi-tal.

NationASU REVOKES FRAT

CHAPTER AFTERRACIST PARTY

TEMPE, Ariz. — ArizonaState University announcedThursday that it is severingties with a fraternity after thechapter hosted a distastefulparty in commemoration ofMartin Luther King Jr. Day,replete with racist stereotypesand offensive costumes.

The school said in a state-ment that it has notified TauKappa Epsilon its recognitionas a fraternity chapter at ASUhas been permanentlyrevoked.

Revoking recognitionmeans the 65-year-old localchapter is no longer affiliatedwith ASU, the group won’t belisted on the university’s web-site and it cannot recruitmembers or hold on-campusmeetings.

Tau Kappa Epsilon wasplaced on probation in 2012and then suspended for host-ing a Jan. 19 party thatdepicting racial stereotypesdrew harsh criticism fromcivil-rights leaders whodemanded the universityexpel the fraternity.

University officials saidthey still are investigating theevent and deciding how tohandle individual cases of stu-dent discipline.

TWEETINGTEACHERS

WAUWATOSA, Wis. —Some school officials try to pre-vent students from tweeting inclass. But others are embracingsocial media as a learning tool,saying sites like Twitter canexpand discussions beyond aclassroom’s four walls.

Chris Lazarski teaches pub-lic policy at Wauwatosa WestHigh School in suburbanMilwaukee. The 41-year-oldjoined a national SanFrancisco-based program thatencourages kids to tweet theirreactions to current events.

Some parents say they’reworried about their kids beingexposed to social media inschool.

But Lazarski says with prop-er oversight, students learn animportant lesson on how touse Twitter for research andcommunication.

He also says the programallows his students to debatewith kids in other states,expanding the diversity ofopinion.

DO DRINKTHE WATER

MEXICO CITY — “Drinkthe water.”

It’s a suggestion alien toMexico City residents whohave long shunned tap waterin favor of the bottled kindand to the throngs of touristswho visit the city each year,bringing with them fears of“Montezuma’s Revenge.” Buta law recently approved byMexico City’s legislators willrequire all restaurants toinstall filters so they can offerpatrons free, drinkable waterthat won’t lead to stomachproblems and other ailments.

“We need to create a cul-ture of water consumption,”said Dr. Jose Armando Ahued,health secretary for MexicoCity. “We need to accept ourwater.”

Bad tap water accounts inpart for Mexico being theworld’s top consumer of bot-tled water and — worse —soda, some 43 gallons per per-son a year.

With an obesity epidemicnationwide, the city’s healthdepartment decided to backthe water initiative.

Mexico City officials say65,000 restaurants will havesix months to install filtersonce the bill is signed laterthis month. Health inspectorswill make periodic visits andimpose $125 to $630 fines tothose not complying.
