INDIAN VILLAGE
mm GRin fWf
By Mary Fastenau
He started with a thread of suspense and
slowly wound it around the room until
every imagination had become a captive
of his tale.
fhe cowlicks and toothless grins of the
first and second graders were all part of
his story, willing prisoners of his charm and
story-telling ability.
In reality, the gray-haired and bearded
man stood in a classroom of Lincoln's
Pershing Elementary School, but the minds
of his audience were in Arkansas exploring
the depths of "Ghost Cave," from which
no one had returned alive.
The gray-haired story teller is Duane
Hutchinson, pastor at Wesley House, a
campus ministry. The stories he tells are
ones he collected while doing "people re
search" and taking information from the
minds of the "old-timers."
Ghost stories
He said he goes to about three public
schools a week during' October, but nor
mally tries to limit it to about two a
month. He explained that he visits more
during October because of his ghost stories.
Those ghost stories are believable, so
believable that every first and second
grader was going to go to Arkansas to look
for the gold that had been left by the
Spaniards.
One little girl, dressed in a blue turtle
neck shirt with matching eyes, which were
so big with wonder that they filled up her
glasses, assured the reporter that she was
going to Arkansas that night. She said she
might even miss school the next day.
Another little fellow in a flowered shirt
and plaid pants also had his trip planned.
He was going to go down into that cave
and "punch him in the eye" just like he did
to his brother.
Love of writing
Besides telling stories, Hutchinson also
is learning puppeteering. Before the
children left the room, he instructed each
one to come shake hands with his puppet,
who remains nameless.
As he drives away from the school, he
admits that he enjoys telling stories, but

Duane Hutchinson, a campus minister at the Wesley House, entertains second
graders with his charm and story-telling ability.
that his first love is writing.
He has combined story-telling and writ
ing, and soon will be writing a book of Ne
braska ghost stories. He said he has about
50 that he has collected to include in the
book.
Being an author is not a new experience
for Hutchinson. He has written a book
entitled, Doc Graham, Sandhills Doctor
and also wrote a biography of Gov. J.
James Exon, he said.
He is now working on a story about the
first airplane pilots in Nebraska.
Hutchinson said he does his research by
talking to "old-timers " in the Sandhills
He said he knows many of these people be
cause he grew up between Elgin and
Clearwater, Neb., where his father raised
horses that were pastured in the Sandhills.

Local candidates hold debate
It was a day for the candidates a person
doesn't hear about much.
They don't have high priced media cam
paigns to bring their message to the public.
They have to depend on real people-to-people
campaigning.
Thrusting a piece of campaign litera
ture into a prospective voter's hand and re
peating the same line hundreds of times.
"Hi, I'm John Doe, running for dog
catcher and I'd appreciate your vote on
Nov. 7."
These candidates abandoned their door
to door campaigns Sunday and appeared at
the Lincoln League of Women Voter's
Great Debate at Gateway Shopping Center.
They debated with their opponents for
about 10 minutes discussing their positions
on issues concerning their offices, but
often only repeating what their opponent
had to say.
As Ken Sherwood, democratic candi
date for county clerk said, "I have a
problem with my name, it comes after
Dick Baker (his Republican opponent who
spoke first) in the alphabet and I find my
self repeating what Dick Baker has said."
After the speech, it was back to the en
closed mall to shake more hands, each
candidate sharing a table with their
opponent.
The offices represented ranged from
register of deeds and county weed commis
sion to state legislature, their pay scales
ranged from nothing to $22,000 annually
for some county offices.
And the candidates for these offices did
their best to get elected, passing out litera
ture and balloons adorned with their
names, put there by a friend with a magic
marker.
