			has assisted 70 clients with emergency orders of protection and

			$800 of last year's turkey dinner profits to set up a fund at 
			Lincoln IGA. Many domestic violence victims have no choice but to 
			"grab the kids and run." They often have no formula, food or diapers

			 Lincoln 
	man competes for chance at 'Voice of McDonald's' title 
	Consumers can vote for their favorite 
	contestant Oct. 28-Dec. 2 at
	
	www.voiceofmcdonalds.com/voting/usa 
			
            
            Rigoberto Ernst, a McDonald's crew 
			member from the independently owned and operated McDonald's at 1109 
			Hickox Drive in Lincoln, is one of the talented U.S.-based employees 
			who have a chance to advance to the "Voice of McDonald's" global 
			competition in Orlando, Fla., in April 2014 to experience a 
			whirlwind of professional vocal performance coaching, expert 
			industry advice and loads of fun. The voting started Monday, and 
			Ernst hopes to generate support through online votes through Dec. 2 
			at 
			www.voiceofmcdonalds.com/voting/usa. 
			 Voice of McDonald's is a contest that 
			aims to discover, recognize and reward the most talented singers 
			among the approximate 1.8 million individuals employed by either 
			McDonald's or its independent owner-operators worldwide. In the 
			United States, this fifth edition of the competition started with a 
			talented field of McDonald's employees. The talent search calls on 
			consumers and top music industry professionals to help narrow the 
			field to just three contestants for a world-class opportunity to 
			achieve their dreams. 
			 If Ernst is voted to move on to the 
			finals in Orlando, he will receive a star-studded experience. An 
			entourage will provide expertise on hair and makeup, wardrobe, 
			choreography, stage presence, and vocal coaching. Additionally, he 
			will have access to a panel of internationally renowned vocal and 
			music industry professionals who will serve as judges in the 
			competition and offer advice for launching a career in the music 
			industry. Pending the results of the 
			competition here in the United States, if Ernst moves on from the 
			semifinals, he will perform in two rounds of the final global 
			competition on a massive concert stage with a live orchestra in 
			front of more than 15,000 McDonald's owner-operators, corporate 
			employees and suppliers in attendance at McDonald's Worldwide 
			Owner/Operator Convention.  "Rigoberto has worked so hard for 
			this moment and truly deserves this special opportunity McDonald's 
			has given him to shine," said Jack Millan, McDonald's 
			owner-operator. "I know he will make us proud, and we can't wait to 
			hear the competition results." The global Voice of McDonald's 
			winner receives $25,000; the second prize includes $17,500; third 
			prize gets $12,500; and fourth prize yields a check for $7,500.

			 Saturday 
	a beautiful day for a beautiful event: the 30th Harvest of Talents for World 
	Hunger 
			
            
            When doors opened at Lincoln Christian 
			Church at 7 a.m. Saturday, it was for the 30th Harvest of Talents 
			for World Hunger. The prime event on Saturday offered 
			handcrafted items that were available by straight-out purchase, 
			silent auction and open auction. It also featured signature homemade 
			foods to be eaten on-site or carry-home. Inside, the aroma of 
			cinnamon and caramel pecan rolls wafted through the halls. Outside, 
			the sweet wood smoke filled the fall air as giant kettles simmered 
			beef vegetable soup. 
			 Inside and outside, there was 
			plenty of serving, eating, visiting at many different stations, 
			tents, rooms and in the main auditorium. Hungry shoppers could grab 
			a bowl of soup and a brisket sandwich, which was particularly 
			appealing to those coming in from the 5K run/walk that began outside 
			the church at 8:30 a.m. A new tea room, Hospitali-tea, served four 
			pre-ticketed sittings offering tasty homemade foods and a special 
			Harvest blend of tea.  The crowds increased all day with 
			throngs of people unhurriedly, but intensely browsing merchandise, 
			looking for just the right bird feeder, kitchen apron, hair doodad, 
			jewelry piece, knitted scarf, bakery, yard or household ornament, 
			with a thousand to choose from and numerous quick, easy checkout 
			counters throughout the building.  The day concluded with an auction 
			beginning at 2 p.m. of unique, high-quality items such as handmade 
			quilts, leaded glass designs, paintings, furniture, large floral 
			pieces and more. On Sunday, the church celebrated the end of this year's Harvest 
			of Talents with a special worship service and the presentation of a 
			check to Rick Jett, the executive director of International Disaster 
			Emergency Service. Prior to the check presentation, Carolyn Neal offered a few words. "Over a billion people go hungry, but tomorrow, that number will 
			be less because of all the faithful Harvest hearts and hands who 
			honored I Peter 4:10 and shared a measure of their time, talents and 
			resources to partner with International Disaster Emergency Service 
			and the 30th Harvest of Talents for World Hunger, raising 
			$101,068.15 for hunger relief this year," Neal said. "You gathered 
			your thoughts to pray, your family and friends, your coins, your 
			talents, and your time to volunteer, and helped to make a difference 
			that will stretch around the world in Jesus' name. On behalf of 
			those who will receive Harvest food (physically and spiritually), 
			thank YOU, bless you!!!" The check was presented to Jett by Patricia Snyder. Jett in return 
			presented "Servant's Towels" embroidered with the IDES logo and 
			bearing the words "Your faithful service has made a world of 
			difference" to Neal and Snyder. The 2013 Harvest of Talents brought in $101,068.15, bringing the 
			30-year total to $1,819,213.38. This was a record year, after the 
			previous high total of $92,499.88 back in 2008. 
			Other Harvest of Talents activities, 
			including musical presentations and teas, are conducted during the 
			year as well. Working with International Disaster 
			Emergency Service, all proceeds are used to aid those affected by 
			disaster and to relieve world hunger. Visit IDES at
			http://www.ides.org/ to see what 
			projects the agency has been working on this past year.

			community. Family patriarch Dominic, or "Doc," was active in local 
			government, the chamber of commerce and several prominent 
			organizations. He was also an avid sports fan who 
			regularly attended Lynx games in Lincoln and on the road -- 
			including traveling to Hutchinson, Kan., in 1962 when the Lynx 
			basketball team competed in LC's very first national tournament -- 
			and would often provide meals at the restaurant for teams when they 
			returned late from away games. Doc Guzzardo was recognized by LC 
			as an Honorary Letterman in 1981. He is being inducted posthumously. John has continued in his father's 
			footsteps: managing the restaurant; serving the community of 
			Lincoln, including eight years as mayor; and supporting Lincoln 
			College athletics, including helping kick off the Lynx basketball 
			Hall of Fame Club in 2010. John Guzzardo was made an Honorary 
			Alumnus of Lincoln College in 2006. The Lincoln College Athletic Hall 
			of Fame recognizes student athletes, teams, coaches, managers, 
			administrators, faculty, staff and friends who have distinguished 
			themselves in the field of athletics at Lincoln College, either by 
			their performance on an athletic team or by meritorious efforts in 
			supporting the athletic program at the college. The Hall of Fame banquet is part of 
			the 2013 Homecoming and Family Weekend activities taking place Nov. 
			4-10 on the Lincoln campus.
