Duhrmanns vehicle was not equipped with them. Ahl was thrown from his vehicle, according to the state patrol.

Course helsjvoman An area woman learned to appreciate Red Cross cardiopulmonary resj uscitation training the hard way.

On Sept. 26, Meg Reitmeier of Scribner had a heart attack prior to the start of an aquanastics class she was taking at the YMCA. Pulled from the nine-foot section of the facilitys indoor pool, she was revived by Dan Carman, YMCA director and Dan Baumert, YMCA janitor through CPR training. I was impressed that everyone at the takes that training, Mrs. Reitmeier said.

Especially when I almost drowned that day at the Y. I knew from what the doctors had said that if I had not received CPR, I would not have survived. The Red Cross comes into the YMCA each year and gives CPR training to staff members. The training program has been given for several years. Fremonts American Red Cross Chapter has requested $1,232.50 from the United Way to fund new cardiopulmonary resuscitation training equipment as requested by government standards.

The Red Cross will be purchasing Resuscitation Annie mannequins to aid their training classes. about the 25 organizations supported by United Way. The annual fund drive kicked off Oct. 2 and United Ways goal is to raise $235,384 in pledges. BY LORNA BETTS-ROTHANZL Staff writer While Fremonts United Way has been sponsoring cardiopulmonary resuscitation training for several years; the Dodge County Chapter of the American Red Cross has been offering CPR courses for about 20 years, according to Jerry Eckert, chapter chairman.

During the past spring, the Red Cross began a community CPR course which is an easier 'version to learn, Eckert said. The new course is taught by volunteer instructors as was done in the past. Updated books and training accompanied the new course material. The Red Cross offers individuals and companies CPR courses three to four times a month. Completing a public class last week, the Noyember schedule has not been posted yet.

CPR courses range from $18 for a two-day, eight-hour course covering infant through adult training. Individual child or adult courses are covered in a four-hour class at an $11 cost. The CPR classes are self-supportive, Eckert said. Class cost is used for the purchase of books and the maintenance of the class mannequins. The Red Cross currently has $4,400 in mannequin inventory, a stock that is to increase by the end of the year.

Due to Occupational Health and Safety Standards, $3,076.50 worth of equipment will be purchased for the CPR program, Eckert said. The government organization requests that our equipment be upgraded, Eckert said. United Way will be aiding in the cost CALENDAR of new mannequins and Resuscitation Annie heads with a donation of $1,232.50. The remaining cost will be funded by outsidp grants, Eckert said. CPR courses are also taught to employees of Memorial Hospital of Dodge County.

BY ABBIE GAFFEY Staff writer LYONS Area residents will be seeing some familiar places and faces on the TV tonight. Todays 7 p.m. episode of Unsolved Mysteries on NBC-TV will focus on the death of Lyons resident Anna Anton and the subsequent disappearance of the then-Lyons Police Chief Greg Webb.

Miss Anton was killed and her naked body found by a Walthill farmer on Dec. 27, 1986. She had been shot three times. Webb disappeared three days later and official murder charges against Webb were filed Jan. 6, 1987.

On July 21, 1989, a film crew from Cosgrove-Muerer Productions, the producers of the Un solved Mysteries series with host Robert Stack, filmed in Lyons, Fremont and Omaha for tonights show. Local residents involved in the murder case play themselves in the feature. Besides the numerous local residents chosen to be extras on the set, television viewers will be able to spot Mary Pieper, Lyons mayor, in a scene with actor Cork Ramer, playing Webb, in front of the Farm and Home Insurance Company in Lyons. She was the last local resident to see Webb before his departure. Burt County Sheriff Leonard Carnarsky, Thurston County Attorney Stuart Mills and Special Investigator Jerry Kreiger also appear in the show in a scene filmed at the Lous Hiway Cafe on U.S.

77 in Lyons. The case was chosen for the series because of what Cosgrove-Muerer Field Producer Chip Clements called its twists and intrigues, in a July interview with the Fremont Tribune. Some of the facets of the case have stumped law enforcement officials. It is thought that Anton and Webb, who both lived in apartments in the same pink duplex in Lyons, might have been involved and that they did know each other prior to Miss Antons move to Lyons, where Webb had been police chief for nine years. Traces of Miss Antons blood were found in her apartment, Webbs apartment and the hallway of the duplex.

The real intrigue sets in when Webb, who had worked as a mercenary in Rhodesia in 1976-77, decided to skip town. He reportedly came to Fremont, traded in his car at Jalopy Johns and stopped at the AAA Travel Agency in Fremont inquiring about passage to Central America. Webb withdrew all of his money from the bank and the last trace of him was found on Jan. 15, 1987, when law enforcement officials found his abandoned vehicle at an airport in Houston. Unsolved Mysteries airs today at 7 p.m.
