The Sioux City Journal, Tuesday, October16, 1994 7 Kerrey notes parents 9 Police probe alleged sexual link between 3 at Register, carriers role in school quality DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Police are investigating evidence supplied by a private investigator that three Des Moines Register employees may have had sexual contact with some young newspaper carriers, an officer said Monday. Investigator Sam Soda said he turned over evidence an admission from one newspaper employee that he masturbated a carrier. That employee, in his 30s, implicated two other workers as haVing sexual contact with carriers, Soda said, although the investigator said the type of contact was unclear from his interview with the employee. i Soda said he had no evidence the people involved whom hedeclined tojname are linked to the disappearance of two Register He said the evidence he gave authorities included a recording of the employee admitting the sexual contact. The employee, who has been told not to plan to deliver his route until an internal investigation into the charges is completed, was questioned by the FBI in the disappearance of Register carrier Eugene Wade Martin two months ago, said Register general counsel Barbara Mack.

She said several other people were questioned in connection with the case and there was no reason to single him out for suspicion, she said. Des Moines Police Sgt. David Haviland said later in the day that the employee had agreed to take a polygraph test. The test indicated the employee was not connected to Martin's disappearance, he said. The employee was not questioned in connection with the disappearance of another Des Moines carrier, Johnny Gosch.

That case is being investigated by West Des Moines police. The employee is one of many adult carriers the newspaper hires to way of knowing whether his allegations are correct. We want the police to Gosch and Martin both disappeared while on their newspaper routes. Gosch has been missing for more than two years, Martin for two months. Soda said he has been looking into the allegations of sexual activity for about five weeks after receiving a tip from a person he described as an informant.

"The employees that this man Implicates are three, that's including himself," Soda said. "Carriers, we have six, seven. We have only made contact with three." He said those carriers confirmed the allegations. Soda said the employee showed the newspaper carriers adult pornography. "He has been sleeping with the boys, he has touched the boys, he has masturbated one of the boys.

I think it's better left at that," Soda said. deliver in large areas of the city, Ms. Mack said. "The employee has admitted to sleeping with numerous young boys, ranging in age from 9 to 14," Soda said at a news conference. "He has also admitted to having this relationship with young boys for approximately seven years." Soda said the contact did not necessarily involve intercourse, but included rubbing-the boys' bodies.

Soda heads a group called Stolen Children Are Reported Every Day, or SCARED, which was formed largely in the wake of the disappearance of the two Register carriers. Haviland said police were investigating Soda's report. "There has been some information turned over and presently it's under investigation," Haviland said. "They're going to want to talk to all the people allegedly involved." "The police are the right people to have this kind of information," said Ms. Mack.

"We certainly have no ing competency examinations and evaluations. Guidelines to evaluate the job performance of school administrators. A scientist-in-residence program to encourage involvement of scientists in schools. Several committees were established to inject the provisions of LB994 into the school districts. Most committee members are administrators, teachers or school board members and represent each region of the state.

Kerrey said the state's education system will play a major role In efforts to improve the state's economy and the life styles of Nebraskans. "It seems to me that it's important to hold fast to the belief that public education is the basis of hope to improve our society," the governor said. The governor also chided people who oppose the spending of general fund money for education, saying state money must be appropriated to improve public education. "It's all too easy for us to say that education is in pretty good shape and why is it necessary to force ourselves to be better," Kerrey said. "But it's important for us to press ahead." Kerrey also lauded the state's education system, saying it's a "miracle" that schools function so efficiently in light of the bloated bureaucracy caused by about 1,000 school districts.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) A sound statewide education system depends largely on the actions of school boards and the willingness of parents and others to scrutinize teaching, Gov. Bob Kerrey said Monday. Kerrey, speaking to about 200 educators and others on committees charged with carrying out mandates of LB994, said future actions at the local level will determine whether the 1984 omnibus education bill improves Nebraska's schools. "If one makes difficult judgments at the local level, you may find yourself involved in local controversy," the governor said.

"But it's important for all of you to remember that the local battles are where we will find out whether we can improve education in Nebraska" by implementing the many provisions of LB 994. The far-reaching LB994, passed after considerable debate, established: A requirement that students accumulate 200 credit hours, with 80 percent of the credits in core curriculum courses, before graduating from high school. That requirement begins with students graduating in the 1987-88 academic year. An entry-year assistance program in which veteran teachers closely monitor work performed by first-year instructors. A new certification standard for prospective teachers, includ Experts doubt Nebraska will repeal death penalty OMAHA, Neb.

(AP) Because the death penalty issue has become a debate of society's "demand for retribution," it isn't likely to be abolished in Nebraska, according to several law experts. "Yes, it is here to stay," said Terry Anderson, a Creighton University Law School professor and former criminal lawyer. "The debate over capital punishment during the last 15 years has been on sociological studies about whether or not the death penalty serves as a deterrent. As long as the debate centered on that question, it could go ei(herway. 'Today, the debate is no longer cehtered on that but on the people's demand for retribution.

Maybe they capital punishment will be brought up in 1985. but he said "time is running out. "The opposition to the death penalty peaked in the 1960s and early 1970s, but the pendulum is swinging back," Wesely said. "The courts definitely are trying to speed up the program." Anderson disagreed. He said he saw no "dramatic change in the timing.

I don't see judges being any more sympathetic. The process is proceeding apace and will do so in the forseeable future." Those interviewed said they expect years to elapse between sentence and execution. Richard Holtan, facing a death sentence since 1976 for a holdup killing, is three steps from execution, said J. William Gallup, his attorney. Holtan killed an Omaha bartender in 1974.

Gallup said Holtan could go to the electric chair in "about a year" if his final three court appeals fail. Robert E. Hunt sentenced to death last week for the death of a Norfolk woman, and Joubert are just entering the appeal process. Both sentences go now to Nebraska Supreme Court for review. From imposition of sentence to execution in the Joubert case, "you are still talking four to five years," Shugrue said.

want to stop someone else. But the feeling is that when you do these terrible things, we have to right to exclude you, not just to behind pentitentiary walls but to exclude you from us altogether." Creighton law professor Richard Shugrue told the Omaha World-Herald that support for the death penalty is particularly strong in such cases as the murders last year of two Bellevue youths, Christopher Paul Walden and Danny Joe Eberle. John Joubert last Tuesday was sentenced to death for those crimes. "There is a strong mood for it in the land, expecially in crimes like this," Shugrue said. State Sen.

Don Wesely of Lincoln predicted another bill to abolish Energy hearing will be at Lincoln said it would consider Exon's re-, quest to conduct a hearing in-Nebraska in 1984. "The Midwest region is heavily dependent upon natural gas to support farming operations and'. residential home heating," Exon-said. "Stable and reliable supplies of oil, natural gas and alternative types of; energy are of particular concern to-the rural and sparsely populated; areas of the Midwest which are-totally reliant on other areas of the nation for energy supplies," Exon said in announcing the Dec. 6 hearing.

WASHINGTON (AP) The U.S. Department of Energy will conduct a hearing Dec. 6 in Lincoln on the fifth national energy plan, Sen. J. James Exon, has announced.

Exon said the scheduled hearing fulfills a commitment made to him last year by Robert Odle, assistant secretary of energy. In 1983, Exon asked the energy department to conduct a hearing in Nebraska on the fourth national energy plan. Since the department didn't conduct a hearing on the previous national energy plan in Nebraska or any of the other central Plains states, the federal agency Movies Love Good Music? Love Dancing?
