The members of the group
were standing outside the Heart’s
Content store, 1265 S. Cotner
Blvd., handing out anti-abortion
rights literature. Heermann said
officers were told that the wife of
Winston Crabb, a doctor who per
forms abortions, used to work
there but does not anymore.
Members of the group have been
following Crabb, picketing his
house and his church.
Passers-by told security guards
that members of the group were
putting handbills on cars in the park
ing lot Saturday about 3:30 p.m.
The posting of bills on cars is
illegal. Because no security
guards saw the members of the
group put anything on a car, they
just asked the members to move
away from the store where they
were handing out material. Hand
ing out materials is not illegal.
The members, two males and
two females, complained but moved
on. Heermann said Lincoln Police
were called but only took a report.
No citations were given.

|Ebr driving on a suspended license.
Afto- the sales call, police went to his

rant.
As they searched him, police found

he said, and they ought to be treated
well in the home-loan process.
An $80,000 home would require
only a $2,400down payment and a 30
year, fixed-rate mortgage. Closing
costs could be kept to 2 percent, he
said.
But figuring the amount that can be
spent on a home can be difficult, he said.
“At the end of the day, nobody does
anybody any good if you get somebody
in a home they can’t heat,” Zoellick said
The company’s state and local part
counseling services to help Nebraskans
budget for their home-loan decision.
U.S. Rep. Doug Bereuter said home
ownership is impossible in some rural
Nebraska communities because neither
homes nor loans are available to small
town buyers.
He said the Fannie Mae partnership
would stimulate construction and fa
cilitate those loans — a real boon to
rural Nebraskans.
Timothy Kenny, NEFA executive
director, reminded other speakers that
Nebraska’s housing problem was only
a series of challenges, which innova
tive solutions would fix.
