Author accounts life on Navy submarine WJUI11 from page 1 "Its sole purpose is to start f World War in,” Waller said. This is one of die reasons the crew on the submarine is like a small community where every one knows everybody else’s business. •You’ve got 162 men with 160 warheads-you don’t want a screwball,” he said. In addition to the crewmen feeling pride with the state of Nebraska, a few Nebraskans take pride in the power of the submarine. The Big Red Sub Club, an organization started in 1991 to support the USS Nebraska, brings crewmen from the sub marine to visit Nebraska, said Lloyd Johnson, a member of the organization. Johnson said they brought in the crewmen twice each year once for Nebraskaland Days in North Platte and once during football season. •They are 10 times bigger fans than anyone here," he said. Johnson said the crewmen often boasted about the subma rine when they talked to area schools during their visits. "They aren’t obnoxious. They’re just confident,” he said. "It’s their ship.” Johnson, as well as Thomas Brady, is also a fleet admiral in the Nebraska Admirals Association, an association whose members are recognized by the governor for their out standing community achieve ment Both men made Waller an honorary admiral for die writing of his book. This meant Waller had to promise never to speak nega tively about the state and “walk the plank,” or walk backwards in a circle. Waller said when he gave Gov. Johanns a copy of the book, he was forewarned. “He said I was going to have to do something pretty embar rassing,” Waller said. Professor Insects a forgotten study iATCUFFE from page 1 urgency about his work. His field studies in Central and South America have shown him the fragility of tropical forests - the habitat for many scarab beetles. *1 have returned to sites only to find than completely destroyed," he said. "There are times where I have been working in the middle of the Amazon basin, and I have heard the sound of chain saws going 24 hours a day” Ratdiffe said this loss of habi tat presented a real challenge to entomologists. "W; spend billions of dollars in space exploration to find outwhat is out there,* he said. *1 support space exploration, but I think it is equally as important to find out what is hoe on planet Earth,” he said. Ratdiffe said while there were about4,000 species of mammals on the planet, the number of insects was much higher and most of those had yet to be catalogued “There are dbout 35,000 spedes of 9carab beetles. There are about360,000 species of beetles," he said. “We have named about one million insects, but there may be as many as 10-30 million spedes, so you can see how many we have left to name and study." While moving through the aisles that hold the Nebraska State Museum's research collection, . Ratcliffe occasionally pulls out a glass-topped drawer and shows a sampte of the hddingp. Only 2 per cent of the museum's collection are on display in Morrill Hall The rest, nearly 14 million specimens, are housed in Nebraska HaH As Ratcliffe spoke of the need for education and conservation, a sign taped to the doorofthe collec tion room underlined his motiva tion. “So many specimens, so little time." prisoner snot aner trying to escape penitentiary A prisoner trying to escape die State Penitentiary was shot Wsdnesday evening. Todd Cook, 24, was shot around 6:05 pun., said Win Barber; a public information officer for the penitentiary. Barber said Cook was trying to escape by climbing the fence on die east side of die compound. Cook was then taken to Bryan LGH Medical Center Terry Teuber, spokeswoman for the Nebraska State Patrol, said Cook was listed in critical condi tion at the hospital Because a Grand Jury investi gation is done when someone dies while in custody, the Nebraska State Patrol is not releasing any information yet . ^ook was serving a liie sen tence phis 20 years for the murder of a Norfolkwoman in 1995. Mice find $35 million of cocaine during traffic stop During a routine traffic stop, State Patrol officers found 765 pounds of cocaine Wednesday. TWo troopers were headed to their Grand Island headquarters after participating inadrug search west of Kearney, Tfeuber sakL The two troopers, armed with a K-9 unit, stopped William Felts, 52, because he was driving on the shoulder about 12 miles east of Kearney, said Dennis Leonard, investigative sergeant for the State Patrol Tfeuber said the K-9 unit alert ed the troopers to the vehicle Once alerted, the troopers asked Feitsifthey could search the vehicle, and they found 765 pounds of cocaine in three U Haul boxes. "Ws estimated the street value to be $35 million,’'she said. Felts was arrested for posses sion with intent to deliver and taken to die Buffalo County Jail, she said. “This is the largest in our agency% history and the largest in cocaine history of Nebraska,” Teubersaid. High-speed chase results in arrest for drag possession A high-speed chase Friday afternoon ended after the driver rolled and crashed his car and fled on foot to avoid arrest Lincoln Police Captain David Beggs said Curtis Rollie, 22, was first noticed at 24th and Y streets. Beggs said the officers knew Rollie had a suspended license. The chase, which lasted approximately two minutes, ended on 37^ and Apple streets when RoUie lost control of his car; rofled it and hit a tree, Beggs said. Rollie then Red on foot, but was apprehended by officers a short distance later, Beggs said. Beggs said officers found 5.5 grams of crack in the vehicle and arrested Rollie for possession of crack cocaine with intent to deliv er, fleeing to avoid arrest and driv ing under suspension, Beggs said. Rollie was taken to Bryan LGH Medical Center West and then to the Lancaster County JaiL His pas senger, whose name is not avail able, was taken to Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Centex Compiled by RD Conner a 1 •' - -• — AG BOON Art History Broadcasting Classics Oology Economics Geography Hriory Human Development.
