County District Court on nine charges
stemming from a Sept. 12 shooting

pulled away the remaining damaged
vehicles.
Many bridges and overpasses
across the Capitol City were closed
because of slick and treacherous con
ditions. Woodhead said the Interstate
180 accident scene was the largest
and most severe collision reported
Sunday evening.
The exact number of accidents had
not been tabulated by late Sunday,
Woodhead said, but police worked the
most accidents between 6:15 and 8
p.m.
“Wc only had an hour and a half
where it was bad,” he said. ‘‘It wasn’t
a record day. Things quieted down
about 8 o’clock.”
University police said the snow
and ice didn’t cause accidents or
problems on campus. Students, how
ever, were affected by the storm as
they came back from five-day
Thanksgiving break.
Aaron Stocgcr, a sophomore ac
tuarial science major, and his brother
were driving home from North Platte
on Sunday when the storm hit.
Several cars were off the road, he
said, and he saw a lot of accidents.
Stocger said he liked snow, but
Sunday’s snowfall turned, his 3 1/2
hour drive into a seven-hour trek.
Brian Topf visited his relatives in
Fort Collins, Colo., last weekend. He
left for home on a bus on Saturday at
7 p.m. and arrived in Lincoln at noon
on Sunday.
“It snowed all through western
Nebraska. It was a big blizzard,” he
said. “All the way up to Hastings you
could barely see through the win
dow.”
Eastern Nebraska received less
than two inches of snow, because the
air did not cool fast enough to trig
ger precipitation, National Weather
Service meteorologist Rick Chermok
said Sunday.
The snow that plagued Nebraska
roads on Sunday will soon be gone,
he said. Temperatures will climb back
to the 40s and 50s by Wednesday.
Today’s high is predicted to be in
the mid-30s with 20 to 30 mph north
west winds, Chermok said. He said
Tuesday would share similar highs in
the mid-30s with no precipitation.

QVC to air Nebraska products
By Wick WHtgn
Staff Reporter
A joint venture between the Ne
braska Department of Economic De
velopment and QVC Inc. will bring
little-known Nebraska products into
the national spotlight.
QVC’sTV shopping network plans
to have a live telecast from Nebraska
in the spring of 1995. The telecast
will showcase new and unique prod
ucts made in Nebraska but not dis
tributed nationally.
Don Wright, spokesman for the
Department of Economic Develop
ment, said QVC would have a trade
fur at the state fairgrounds in Febru
ary to view Nebraska products. QVC
officials will then talk directly with
interested Nebraska entrepreneurs, he
said.
To be eligible for the promotion,
products must have a retail value of
at least $15 and be shippable. Be
cause QVC reaches 67 million homes
worldwide, manufacturers would
have to supply at least $ 10,000 worth
of the product for the promotion.
Wright said the telecast would be
more than just merchandising and
toll-free phone numbers.
“Part of this broadcast will be
clips of scenes from Nebraska,” he
said. “They don’t just hawk stuff—
it’s like college football when they
show what the universities are like. ’
Wright said many Nebraskans had
Eroblems getting their products
nown, but this promotion would
help.
“The Department of Economic
Development is always in favor of...
working out in the field with people
who have great ideas, great products,
but zero marketing capability,” he
said. “It’s hard when you’re faraway
from advertising centers to get your
product out.”
Wright said the QVC promotion
would help Nebraska businesses that
have between one and five employ
ees.
“We ’re looking for companies that
haven’t been discovered yet,” he said.
“We’re looking for the companies
that make wooden flutes. Were ex
cited to see what comes back on these
applications.”
Wright said several major Ne
braska companies got started as
“backyard businesses,” such as
Behlen Manufacturing in Columbus
and the makers of Dorothy Lynch
salad dressing from Duncan, Neb.
