Man wins, loses, wins million in one afternoon
CRETE, Neb. — Larry Hatch stayed cool when he and his wife won $1 million — as he did later when he lost it for about three hours.
On a trip to Nebraska to visit their sons, Larry and Leita Hatch stopped at Burger King where Larry Hatch bought a large soft drink.
ODDITIES
When he peeled the "Cash is King" contest sticker off his cup, he found the only $1 million ticket in the nation.
Hatch was excited but tried to keep it quiet said his son, Jeff.
He went to a grocery store to copy the ticket because Burger King's copier wasn't working.
It was gone.
Back at his sons' house, Jeff asked to see the winning ticket.
ratch's other son, Rocky, returned to Burger King while Hatch went back to the grocery store.
He coolly walked in and picked up the stub, which appar
ently fell out of his pocket when he paid for the copies.
It must have been on the floor in the checkout lane for about three hours.
A Burger King manager, J.W. Walker, said Hatch would have to keep the ticket until prizes were verified Dec. 31.
Homeowners buy bats for natural pest control
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — University of Florida researchers said more homeowners were installing backyard bat houses to encourage the flying mammals to hang around and provide natural pest control.
"A few dozen bats can make a big difference in a neighborhood," said Mark Hostetler, extension wildlife specialist with UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
"Many species can eat 1,000 flying insects per night, including mosquitoes, moths, flies —
Interest in backyard bat houses has increased among Florida homeowners since July, when mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus were first detected in the state.
anything they can catch," he said.
Bat houses provide shelter during daylight hours when bats are inactive, Hostetler said. Inside, bats hang vertically from the walls, crowded together to share body heat.
Gainesville veterinarian Debbie Kemmerer said bat houses could help educate the public and dispel myths about the winged creatures.
They don't land in people's hair, and the incidence of rabies in bats is extremely low, she said. They also don't suck people's blood.
Feuding parents find safe harbor to drop off children
NOBLESVILLE, Ind. — Divorced parents who would
rather not see each other when they pick up their children for visits won't have to anymore.
Parents will be able to pick up and drop off their children at a new family center expected to be open by this time next year.
The facility will also serve as a site for court-ordered supervised visits.
Start-up costs for the facility are expected to be about $60,000, said Kelly Kochell, executive director for Hamilton Centers.
the organization offers youth counseling, runaway shelters and other services.
Between 700 and 1,000 families in Hamilton County are in need of the service, said board member Jenny Budreau.
The facility will be staffed by a full-time licensed health professional and a security person, Kochell said.

Concert pays tribute to famed violinist
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — It was Isaac Stern's last standing ovation at Carnegie Hall. After some six decades and 200 performances there, Stern was gone. And yet he wasn't.
A month after his death at age 81, the man who prevented one of America's citadels of culture from being turned into an office tower was remembered Tuesday with a free concert inside the auditorium named for him.
The Isaac Stern Auditorium's 2,800 seats were all filled, and 400 other people watched the concert via closed-circuit TV elsewhere in the 110-year-old building.
"Now Isaac joins those spirits within Carnegie Hall," he said.
"Welcome to Isaac Stern's favorite room," Carnegie Hall Board Chairman Sanford I. Weill told the audience. "Isaac loved to say what made Carnegie Hall so special was the spirit of Tchaikovsky, Horowitz, Toscanini and countless others in these walls.
Stern, one of the 20th-century's leading violinists, had a gift for speech and an eye for young talent. The music did the speaking Tuesday.
The first piece was said to be one of his first great loves — the Allegretto ma non troppo from Beethoven's Op. 70 No.2 trio. Dvorak's Romance in F Minor, the only piece on the program in a minor key, was next. The concert culminated with the lush first movement of Brahms' Op. 18 sextet.
The construction workers building the subterranean Zankel Hall addition halted their efforts, making way for Itzhak Perlman, Emanuel Ax, Yo-Yo Ma, Midori and other top musicians who paid tribute to the man who helped cultivate their talents and guide their stellar careers.
In a fitting tribute to the future, these performers were joined by 24-year-old violist Jessica Thompson and 23-year-old cellist Efe Baltacigil, who participated in the last two Isaac Stern chamber music workshops.
Stern, whose smiling face graced the cover of the program, would have loved seeing this intergenerational display of fire and passion.
Weill invited the audience to give a final standing ovation.
Emmys rescheduled to air Sunday night
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES—The third time will be the charm for this year's Emmy Awards ceremony, or the twice rescheduled show won't happen at all, producers said Tuesday.
The ceremony honoring television's accomplishments was postponed from its Sept. 16 date because of the terrorist attacks. Organizers scrapped it again Oct. 7 when the United States began retaliatory strikes in Afghanistan.
The show is now scheduled to air Sunday night on CBS.
"There will be no more moving of the dates," said Bryce Zabel, chairman of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. "If there is (world) news to be heard, we will deal with it by simply going forward."
He said the event had changed dramatically each time it had been rescheduled.
Workers have hurried to rebuild sets to fit the Shubert Theatre, which seats only 1,800 people - compared to the 6,000-plus available at the original Shrine Auditorium venue.
Gary Smith was brought in as executive producer to replace Don Mischer, who left
to begin work on the opening and closing ceremonies at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
The dress code has shifted from black tie to business attire, host Ellen DeGeneres has rewritten or dropped countless jokes, and moments planned to honorvictims, heroes and survivors of the attacks have been restructured as news develops.
A segment featuring NYPD Blue star Dennis Franz introducing clips of firefighters and police officers rescuing people on Sept. 11 has been replaced.
"It has nothing to do with anyone's feeling that it's not without merit," Smith said. "When something becomes overexposed it has less impact."
He said the show would still honor emergency workers but declined to discuss details, wanting to keep it a surprise.
A new piece of the show will document Hollywood's involvement in times of war, with CNN talk-show host Larry King introducing clips of celebrities entertaining troops form World War II to the Persian Gulf conflict to event today, Smith said.
