Teens rob convenience store
By Jeff Zeleny
Senior Reporter
Two boys in their late teens
who robbed a convenience store
late Wednesday apparently were
thirsty.
Not only did the two teens take
an undisclosed amount of cash,
they also swiped two cases of Miller
beer from the Gas N’ Shop at 2142
N. Cotner Blvd., said Lincoln po
lice Sgt. Ann Heermann.
One of the boys, who was about
5 feet 6 inches tall, was wearing a
Chicago Bulls Starter jacket and
black slacks. He entered the store
with his face covered by a black
ski mask, pointed a black semi
automatic pistol at the store clerk
and demanded money.
Meanwhile, the other boy, who
also was about 5 feet 6 inches tall
and stocky, grabbed the beer from
the back of the store. His face was
partially covered with a black
hooded sweat shirt.
No suspects had been identified
Thursday afternoon, Heermann
said.
Shots fired
A Lincoln man was arrested
Wednesday on suspicion of mak
ing terroristic threats and discharg
ing a weapon in the city limits,
police said.
Police were called to 32nd and
S streets Wednesday at about 8
p.m. with reports of shots being
fired. Anthony Richardson, 3230
S St., told police that another man
threatened him with a 12-gauge
shotgun.
Two shots were fired into th$
air, Heermann said, but no one was
injured. Peautray Green, 1416 S.
12th St., was arrested by police at
First and Belmont streets.
Four men were in the car with
Green, Heermann said, and one
was cited for giving false informa
tion to police. ^
Saturday a day to make a difference T
By Sarah Danberg
Staff Reporter
This weekend, for one day, Nebras
kans and the nation will lend a hand to
a community in need — its own.
The fifth annual Make a Differ
ence Day will be held Saturday.
“This is a day where everyone
makes a conscious effort to help the
community,” said Christine Vu, ad
ministrative assistant for the Nebraska
Commission for National and Com
munity Service.
The nationally recognized day is
sponsored by USA Weekend maga
zine and The Points of Light Founda
tion.
“There has been a really good
response in Nebraska the past few
years,” Vu said. “Statewide, there
will be thousands involved.”
Millions are expected to partici
pate nationally.
There are more than 20 projects
planned in Nebraska this year in cit
ies such as Scottsbluff, Ogallala,
Grand Island, Lexington and Omaha.
A variety of projects are planned,
ranging from recycling to raking
leaves.
In Lincoln, volunteers will serve
meals in homeless shelters and soup !
kitchens, visit new refugees and give I
assistance to the elderly by cleaning |
and delivering meals.
Many projects are coordinated by J
the United Way Volunteer Center I
and other organizations. Vu said any- |
one wishing to get involved should ■
contact the Nebraska Commission J
for National and Community Service I
for more information.
Make a Difference Day originally ■
was held on Leap Day of Leap Year. J
“Leap Day is an extra day,” Vu ■
said, “the perfect day to make a dif- ■
ference.”

Donations

Charlyne Berens brought the Todds’
plight to the group’s attention.
“The first step and the easy step is
to get the information out early,”
Flint said. “We will put information
in our newsletter on how people could
make contributions to the Todds.
“We will also make live announce
ments at our meetings and tell people
how easy it is to make donations.”
Berens said donations can be made
at any Comhusker Bank.
Lynda Todd said she appreciated
the help; her family is just beginning
the race to earn $250,000 by the
beginning of 1996.
“The doctors want to do the sur
gery at the first of January because
Chanel is in a phase now where her
body would be more receptive to the
surgery,” Lynda Todd said. “We
have contacted many people includ
ing the Lincoln Community Play
house, Make-a-Wish foundation and
the athletic department, so we could
see Michael Jordan tomorrow night
to help with donations,” she said
Thursday.

Jordan play tonight in the Bob k
Devaney Sports Center at 7:30 p.m.
against the Los Angeles Clippers. I
Lynda Todd said she was hoping |
Jordan or other members of the Bulls i
would help with either donations or a
speaking engagement.
Since Chanel developed the rare |
disease, which affects African Ameri- ■
cans between the ages of 11 and 30,
her mother has been active telling I
others about the illness. |
Lynda Todd said she had even
talked to the Oprah Winfrey show
about appearing.
