By EMMA MILLS
Herald-Banner Staff
At home, Sarah Shreve is a typical 9-year-old girl.
She laughs and plays with her sisters, exchanges secrets with her best friend, and dreams of becoming an art teacher.
And when the opportunity presented itself for her to win $10,000 in a national video contest for her elementary school in Lone Oak, Sarah, with the help of her mother, used her passion for art and the outdoors to create a one minute video short that has quickly landed her as a front runner for the grand prize.
But there is one thing that sets Sarah apart from the children she's competing against — at home is the only place where Sarah freely speaks.
At an early age, Sarah was diagnosed with selective mutism, a severe social anxiety disorder that leaves those who suffer from it vocally paralyzed with fear when in public, rendering them unable to communicate with anyone other than the most trusted of individuals and in the safety of a familiar place.
"Doing this video was a huge step for Sarah in overcoming her phobia," her mother, Melissa, said. "It took a lot of courage for her to decide to make it, knowing that there was the possibility that thousands of people from around the country would be hearing her speak.
She wrestled with a lot of anxiety during the process, but it was something she really wanted to do for the good of her school and so she pushed through it."
The national contest, designed by Scotties Tissue to promote their environmentally-friendly paper company and tree planting campaign, prompts children in grades 3 through 5 to make a video explaining why trees are important to their community. The grand prize winner of the contest will win a cash prize, an iPad and a trip for four to either the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone National Park.
But the real kicker for Sarah and her mom was the promise of an additional $10,000 to go toward the elementary school, as well as a tree-planting event to beautify the campus.
"Not only would the money make a huge impact on our little school, but even just having some trees outside in the front lawn would make a wonderful difference in the atmosphere," Melissa said, noting that they probably wouldn't have entered the contest had it not been for the difference it could make for Lone Oak Elementary.
"My school is truly wonderful, I think you'll agree; we have a few shrubs, but we need some trees," Sarah said in her video, shouting and waving her arms from a high tree limb.
While the video paints a picture of an excited, outgoing and playful schoolgirl, for most that have ever met Sarah it was a side of her they never knew existed.
"When I first showed the video to Sarah's principal, she was absolutely speechless," Melissa said. "Sarah has been at the school for four years and it was the very first time she had ever heard her voice."
Knowing that Sarah, in her own way, needed the mental support of her classmates, Melissa encouraged her to let them see the video, as well.
"That was possibly the biggest hurdle; the idea of her classmates seeing that side of her made Sarah really nervous because of her anxiety," Melissa said. "At first, she begged me not to let them see it, but I didn't want to enable her fear; I wanted to help her face it. So I sat down with her and told her about how all of her classmates would be so proud of her for what she had done and would be so excited to hear her voice."
After a few tears and a lot of thought Sarah agreed, so long as she could sit next to her best friend while the video was being shown in class.
"It might seem small, but it was an incredible step for Sarah to make," Melissa said. "A year ago, she couldn't have done that. This video has really been a huge source of therapy for Sarah in dealing with her disorder."
In January, Melissa and Sarah received the news that, out of the thousands of contest entries submitted from across the country, Sarah had been chosen as one of twelve finalists.
From there, the Lone Oak community began a small grassroots campaign for daily votes, largely promoted through social media, that skyrocketed Sarah to the first place ranking, where, after a brief slip to number two, she has mostly remained for the past several weeks.
"The support Sarah has had from our little community has been truly overwhelming," Melissa said. "The parents, teachers, even the students here truly care about their school, and there's power in that. To see just a small community come together like we have to try and beat the odds, it's an incredible thing to be a part of and I feel like it's really made us grow closer in our school and in our town."
Even if the votes fall short in the end, Melissa said, for her and her daughter the journey has been worth a thousand words.
"I have seen so much growth in Sarah just in these last couple of months," she said. "I told Sarah 'I'm proud of you, no matter what. You let your voice be heard, and look at the difference it's made so far.' In a lot of ways, we've already won."
To vote for Sarah and Lone Oak Elementary School, visit www.scottiestreesrock.com and follow the prompts on the front page. Voting is limited to one vote per day, per email address. All votes must be submitted by Feb.15 at 11 p.m.
As of Monday afternoon Sarah remains in first place, but the rankings will not be updated again until the winner is announced. Less than 5,000 votes currently separate the first and last place contestants. Sarah and her family also encourage voters to 'share' the website link and her story with their followers on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Global Sports Icon: Shaun White Soars to New Heights in 2010
Shaun White is now a bona fide household name.
This Oakley Team Superstar and Olympic Gold Medalist has truly rocketed to insane heights and recognition this past year.
Transcending his sport, he's not only one of the best Skate and Snowboard athletes on the Planet, he's a Global Ambassador for his sport, the center of his own awesome video game and a natural in the bright lights, red carpets and glamour that is the entertainment industry (and the "Chairman of the Board" of Spike TV's 2010 Guy's Choice Awards to boot).
But let's get back to the core of it all. He is where he is because of one indisputable fact: Shaun White is just a ridiculously sick athlete. Throwing down huge, revolutionary new maneuvers not seen in his two sports during contests, he dazzled sports fans everywhere while racking up medals left and right this year.
2010 saw him display his immense versatility with some awesome career highlights:
• The Big One: Gold Medal – Halfpipe – Vancouver Winter Olympics. All with his legendary Double McTwist 1260 that dazzled the world.
• Silver Medal – Summer ESPN X Games 16 – Vert Competition
• Skate: Dew Tour Portland Vert Title
• Skate: Dew Tour Salt Lake City Vert Title
• Skate: Dew Tour Las Vegas (Final) Vert Title
If that wasn't enough, he teamed with Oakley as a Global Ambassador to introduce an emerging Chinese market to the Snowboarding culture and the stoke that comes with it. Oakley & Shaun White Presents Air + Style Beijing lit the Chinese Olympic city, bringing East and West together in a celebration of sport, music and urban culture in early December.
The partnership between Shaun and Oakley was truly unique to the snowboard world. It was his first step into the contest world as he led the charge into Beijing using our iconic brand and his own global recognition.
With that, a glorious 2010 wrapped up in grand fashion – capping off a period in Shaun's career that saw him catapult from an awesome athlete to a true sports icon.

Students from every participating institution benefit by paying much less than the non-resident (out-of-state) tuition/fees one would pay if you transferred directly to an NSE member institution. The total costs (tuition, fees, housing, meals, fees) varies among the NSE schools.
Important: Please read the following sections on tuition plans and financing carefully. You and your parents/family must fully understand the functioning and implications of your exchange based on Tuition Plan (A or B) offered by the host institution. Within the school description in the current NSE Directory, is a black box, which indicates what payment plan(s) a school accepts.
Sometimes it may cost more if:
- You exchange to an area with a considerably higher cost of living (Hawaii, Alaska, and most large cities).
- Your host school's room and board costs are higher than WKU.
Plan A and Plan B
WKU participates on both Tuition Plan A and Plan B. This means that you may exchange to a host school that participates on either Plan.
Plan A – You pay tuition/fees to the host institution, and normally NSE members set this at the resident tuition rate with housing, meals and other fees paid to the host institution. Normally, billing will be from your host school for tuition/fees, room and board, etc. You will be enrolled at WKU in an NSE "holding" course that will be replaced by the host institution's transfer credit for your completed coursework. (See Reinstatement section below.)
Plan B – You pay WKU tuition as approved by WKU's Board of Regents, while housing, meals and other fees are paid to the host institution. Plan B students are enrolled at WKU in an NSE "holding" course that allows your WKU bill to be processed. This course will be replaced by the host institution's transfer credit for your completed coursework. (See Reinstatement section below.) You will receive two bills – one from WKU for tuition, and one from your host school for room and board. You may also be billed by your host institution for items such as an orientation fee, health fee, or course fee.
The final WKU NSE tuition is usually determined in June of each year. The NSE Coordinator will provide you the estimated tuition at the mini-advising session.

By Jennifer Solis
---- — WEST NEWBURY — West Newbury property owners got a bit of good news this week to take with them into the new year.
Finance Director Warren Sproul told selectmen on Wednesday that property taxes will increase slightly less than he originally anticipated.
During the annual tax classification hearing, Sproul reported that under a single $15.75 rate per $1,000 of assessed property value, the average property tax bill would increase by $413.98 this year.
Officials originally projected a $16.26 tax rate, which was used to figure the first two quarterly tax bills of the fiscal year.
"We projected an increase and applied it to the preliminary bills so that it would not all hit on these last two bills, but rather be spread out over all four payments," Sproul said.
Following the meeting, Sproul said, "Because of the Page School indebtedness, we had originally estimated its borrowing costs a little higher, but when the borrowing costs were realized, they were lower."
The board agreed to adopt Sproul's single tax rate recommendation. Of the total tax levy in West Newbury, 96.4 percent comes from residential properties, .084 percent commercial properties, 0.22 percent industrial and 2.5 percent personal property. Given the breakdown, the board said asking the town's businesses to pay an increased share of taxes wouldn't be fair.
Sproul said " a combination of things" has helped to limit the increase in property taxes, including "reduced debt, not spending to the levy limit and $6.5 million of additional value in the commercial/industrial/personal property class to help spread the tax burden."
He noted the average home value dropped slightly, from $454,591 last year to $454,321 this year.
The town's year-over-year budget increased by a total of 8.3 percent. The town-side appropriation rose by 2.4 percent, with a 14.6 percent spike in education costs. Of that amount, 8.9 percent was for the Page School renovation project and 5.7 percent for operational cost increases for the schools.
The town has an excess levy capacity of $152,998. Having excess levy capacity means the town's budget appropriation is smaller than what is permissible under Proposition 2 1/2.

As mamas, our lives our hectic. At any given moment, we can be changing diapers, breaking up fights, making lunch, being a human milk dispenser, and cleaning up the house all at once. We have a million things running through our brains and not enough time to tackle them all. Stress is all too common in any at-home mama's life – but what can we do to help it?
It's easy: Get moving. Exercise. Workout.
Whatever you want to call it, exercise is one of the easiest ways to calm down, de-stress and relax. Plus, burning a few extra calories and sweating it out while you chill out is the cherry on top. Next time stress starts creeping up on you, set aside 15 minutes to use exercise to your advantage and get back to your zen lickety-split.
These five exercises are as reliable as your little guy or gal finding a permanent marker the moment you buy a piece of brand new white furniture – and the ones that I always turn to before, during, or after a stressful day.
All five of these exercises will help relax your mind and muscles and get you to chill out so you can feel your best. Get in the habit of coming back to any one of these – or any of your other favorite exercises – to get relaxed and de-stressed any time of day.
1. Yoga
Yoga is the combination of movement and breath. Take 15 minutes to focus on your breath while moving your body. Some great de-stressing yoga poses are ones that challenge you, but also help you take your mind off any racing thoughts. Try sun salutation sequences, cat-cows, and a few breaths in child's pose. Find a few of your own favorite poses and make the most of your relaxation time. [Read more...]

Coed Indoor Soccer
Rules and Procedures
*NEW RULE: To eliminate the need for a full time player in the goalie box, we are adding the following rule. A goal may not be scored on a direct kick from beyond the half court line. It must first be touched by another player of either team before it will count as a goal.
Roster Rules:
- There are 6 players minimum for a team.
- There needs to 3 men and 3 women on the court at all times.
- There will be no goalie allowed in Indoor Soccer.
- The maximum number is 10 players on the roster.
- A player may not be on the roster for more than one team. This includes playing on one team in the Competitive League and another team in the Recreational League. Teams using players that are on more than one team may be forced to forfeit all games that included those players.
- Please respect all players and officials on the field.
Game Clock and Timeouts:
- There are 20 minute halves with a running clock.
- There is a 5 minute half time break.
- There will be no timeouts.
Common Infractions:
Offsides will be called when the ball is played from the defense half of the gym to the offensive half and there is not a defender between the player receiving the ball and the defenders goal.
There are absolutely no slide tackles and will result in a penalty shot. A penalty shot is taken from the penalty line in front of the goal with only one defensive player allowed between the shot taker and the goal.
Court Boundaries:
The court will be one half of the Field House as divided by the center curtain. The ball will continue in play with the following exceptions.
1. A ball that goes beyond the curtain into the other half of the gym will be out of bounds. The official will determine which team played the ball out of bounds and the other team will inbound the ball from the open end of the curtain that is nearest to the point the ball went out of bound.
2. There is no out of bounds sideline or endline. The ball stays in play off the wall.
3. If the ball goes into the equipment areas along the side walls and does not come back on its own, it is out of bounds and play will be stopped. Players may not pursue the ball into the designated equipment area to play the ball. If a player attempts to do so, the official will automatically award the ball to the other team.
4. There will be no corner kicks. All out of bounds balls will be put into play with a kick-in from the designated side line. the kick-in must be made directly to a team member and may not be kicked towards the goal.
6. Any out of bounds ball, where the official cannot determine who touched the ball, will be played at court center with a live drop by the official.
There will free substitutions any time the ball is in your defensive end. The player leaving the court will go to his/her team bench and leave the court before the sub may enter the court.

In 2011, the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) is enlisting the help of a service called TIP411 through CitizenObserver.com which is a web based crime tip application that will allow CSPD to receive crime tips from citizens via text message or the web. Up to this point this capability has been nonexistent for CSPD. This will not take the place of Crime Stoppers, but now citizens will have the ability to anonymously text a crime tip to CSPD. The tipster does remain anonymous as TIP411 assigns the tipster a generic number and that is all CSPD sees. The system will allow us to receive anonymous web tips as well. The system will allow us to ask the tipster follow up questions via the TIP411 system without ever identifying the tipster. It is our hope that citizens that may not feel comfortable calling in a crime tip may be more willing to send a short descriptive tip that will help us solve crime in Colorado Springs. Once a citizen submits an anonymous tip via text or e-mail there will be no further obligation on their part if they so desire.
CSPD does not want citizens using TIP411 to send emergency messages as the system will not be monitored in the same way that the 911 phone system is. TIP411 will be monitored 24 hours a day, but is not intended for emergency calls. What it will allow is for someone to submit a tip about a crime they know is about to happen. They may not be able to make a phone call without the suspects knowing, but they might be able to send a text message For example:
"CSPD, the suspect in your recent bank robbery is Joe Smith who lives at 123 Main St"
If you would like to submit a tip- then text your tip to 847411, or;

Ruben's Vision
For Ruben Studdard, music has always been an integral part of his life. His desires to share his musical gifts with the world ultimately lead him to enter a national competition that discovered new talent from across the U.S. The rest is history! Ruben was named the 2003 American Idol.
Ruben's love for music and his sincere desire to give back to his community lead to the creation of The Ruben Studdard Foundation for the Advancement of Children in the Music Arts. As a product of the Birmingham's City School System, Ruben experienced first-hand the significance of how music education can impact a child's life.
With budget cuts threatening the elimination of thousands of music education programs in school systems across the nation, Ruben is impassioned about the students in Birmingham never having this scenario become a reality.
Did you know?
The U.S. Department of Education found that students who report consistent high levels of involvement in instrumental music over the middle and high school years show "significantly higher levels of mathematics proficiency by grade 12."
The College Entrance Examination Board found that students involved in public school music programs scored 107 points higher on the SAT'S than student with no participation.
According to a 2003 Gallup survey, 95% of Americans believe that music is a key component in a child's well-rounded education.
Upcoming and Past Events
Here are a few upcoming and past events that The Ruben Studdard Foundation for the Advancement of Children in the Music Arts will/has participated in:
- Ruben Studdard Celebration Weekend November 16-18, 2012
- Half Marathon and 5K Fun Run
- Sponsored music camps at Jacksonville State Univeristy
- Made a significant contribution to United Way of Central Alabama
- Inducted into the Boys and Girls Club Hall of Fame
- Donated "Soulful" CDs and t-shirts to a local troop serving in Iraq
- Scholarships for high school seniors majoring in Music
- Held luncheon for exceptional Birmingham City schools music students

Funds Hub
Money managers under the microscope
A hectic schedule
The hedge fund circuit can be exhausting.
Last Thursday saw the plush fundraising dinner of ARK, the charity headed by Arpad Busson, fiance of Uma Thurman, at London's Waterloo International.
The next date in the European hedge fund industry's diary is next week's annual GAIM conference, held in Monaco (where else?).
From June 16th-18th top executives and managers will be gathered in the principality to discuss the outlook for the industry, which delivered record poor performance last year and which has seen waves of investor outflows.
The packed programme shows the industry is coming to terms with the new conditions in which it is operating.

I began my professional career covering auto racing. Matt Kenseth, Travis Kvapil, the Wimmers. All were regulars at Madison International Speedway and the numerous other local tracks when I was the auto racing writer at the Wisconsin State Journal.
When I left Madison and moved to Iowa, I stopped following racing, even as I was the auto racing writer at the Ottumwa Courier. Since landing in Burlington, I have paid little attention to the national scene.
But the days I spent in Joliet last year for the NASCAR weekend at the Chicagoland Speedway were great. I enjoyed myself and was excited when I was assigned to this year's races.
So here are some cool things that happen when you cover NASCAR races:
Being able to drive in restricted access areas as a line of cars in front of us were forced to turn around. That is such a cool thing.
Derrick Cope driving into the parking area in his Ford, sitting in the same line the rest of us were in.
I walked into the media center and the first person I saw was Tony Stewart. He and a NASCAR beat writer were just sitting there chatting. Stewart — a huge fan of Schlitz beer — is excited the beer is going back to its original formula.
I needed a last-minute story after my initial story fell through. Enter Landon Cassill, a 19-year old from Cedar Rapids who has a development deal with Hendrick Motorsports. I tracked him down at the JR Motorsports souvenir trailer. After he signed autographs, I got to talk to him in the back area of the trailer before he had to qualify for the Nationwide race.
Lunch was pastrami sandwiches, potato salad, lettuce wedges with bleu cheese dressing, and cookies. I hear last night's dinner included crab cakes. I can't wait to see what we're eating before tonight's race.
I have a 'hot pass,' which basically allows me in the garage area any time. That is awesome. You just have to be careful and watchful or you might end up as a hood ornament on a car. The activity there is frenetic so a vigilant eye is a necessity.
Check back later for updates!
I'm back, as promised.
Since I'm tired after a 12-hour day at the track, this will be brief. I may add more tomorrow as there will be a lot of time before the 7 p.m. race.
Dinner was a very uninspired shortribs from what we could tell. There was also some kind of fowl and something that was empty both times I tried to get it. Turns out it was some kind of beef, which was absolutely wonderful. It just fell apart as you stuck your fork in it. Worth the wait. Dessert was an iffy-looking chocolate banana cake pudding and a very good lemon angel food cake.
I want to give credit to the Joliet Fire Department. Just a few laps into the race, there was a commotion in the stands below where we were sitting in the press box. Someone had collapsed and was on the ground between two rows of seats in the main grandstand. Within what seemed like seconds, there were the red-shirted officials. It did not take long for more to come to the person's aid and administer CPR and use a portable defibrillator. I do not know exactly what happened, nor the outcome, but from where I sat above the emergency, the fire department personnel conducted themselves in the best possible manner.

I love wasabi!!! This recipe was so easy to make and turned out fantastic, everyone was so impressed! I toasted the sesame seeds and doubled the amount of wasabi. I used 1/2 low fat cream cheese, and half regular. The secret to shaping it into a perfect ball is chilling it for several hours before trying to shape it and roll it in the seeds. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
I cut this in half....except would go ahead and use the whole can of shrimp with just one thing of cream cheese. Anyway...to mold...I lined a small plastic bowl with saran wrap and put the mixture in that...stuck it back in the fridge for a couple of hours....then carefully pressed it into the sesame seeds. It came out more like a "round" rather than a "ball". Good though!...OK...I made this again for a dinner party and they loved it....I used low fat cream cheese (just one 8 oz package)...3/4 can of shrimp...3/4 can of chopped water chestnuts...and 1 +-teaspoon of this ready to use (and very potent) wasabi paste...let that stay in fridge overnight....then roll it in the toasted sesame seeds when you're reasy to serve....stays in a ball shape just fine.
FANTASTIC!! The flavor is outstanding. My only problem was shaping it into a ball. I used regular cream cheese. However, we will eat it with a spoon if we have to. LOL! Thanks Scout's box! Makes wonderful spread on a sandwich too!

Press release from San Ramon Valley Unified School District
After nearly five months of converting solar energy to electricity at five of its schools, the San Ramon Valley Unified School District announced Tuesday night that, based on early returns, the solar systems are meeting and in most cases, exceeding expectations.
Since October 2011 when the systems first came online, average production by the systems has exceeded 110% of "expected kWh" (kiloWatt hours).
"We are very pleased with the results," said Steven Enoch, Superintendent of Schools. "It would certainly appear that we are on track to pay back the bond and to generate additional savings which can be applied in support of our students and their learning."
The systems, which are in place at , , l, and , collectively use more than 10,000 solar panels to convert solar energy to electricity.
The solar initiative was funded with $25 million in near 0%-interest Qualified School Construction Bonds from the federal government. These will be paid off through the energy savings realized by the systems. The district projects that in approximately 16 years the bonds will be paid off and the district will then realize an estimated $2 million per year in energy savings to the District's General Fund Budget.
The District will publish an updated "Solar Energy Production and Savings" chart each month that includes current information regarding expected/actual kWh production and net/cumulative savings (avoided costs) to the district.
The chart reflecting the first five months of solar output, and more information about the Solar Initiative can be found at: http://www.srvusd.net/solar

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — The findings of the Norwood-based BETA Group, the engineering firm that undertook a city-commissioned study of the Beauport Gloucester hotel plans for the former Birdseye site, may come across as jarring, given the level of concern raised regarding parking and street infrastructure needs.
Yet neither the city nor the hotel's limited liability development company, headed by New Balance owner Jim Davis and Cruiseport Gloucester's Sheree DeLorenzo, should be surprised when looking closer at the findings.
It doesn't take an engineer to recognize that the project will command significant street improvements to the section of Commercial Street that will lead to the hotel access point, or that the proposed hotel will need sufficient parking not only for hotel guests, but for visitors attending functions in either the hotel's banquet halls or restaurant.
Now, with the report in tow, both Beauport Gloucester and city officials can begin to assess how to tackle the problems cited and raised. And unless developers and the city see any of the issues as insurmountable – and there seems no reason to think they are — there's no reason why this report is threatening the project anymore than the state's snub of the city's MassWorks grant request.
By any count, the BETA findings will make the hotel project more costly — and addressing that will largely be up to the developers. While the city is seeking the financing of up to $5 million for the water and sewer line infrastructure improvements, with $600,000 worth of help from Beauport, any improvements in the way of parking and street hotel access should be on the developer's shoulders. And while there is a context to street improvements benefitting city residents as well, the fact is, the needed curb cuts and any road changes will be designed to clearly serve the hotel and its customers.
But while the BETA report certainly raises red flags that need to be addressed before the project gains approval, they are flags that can, in fact, be addressed, and ones that should have been on the radar screen from the start.
The report clearly puts the proverbial ball in Beauport Gloucester's court for revising its plans, and it gives city officials time for exploring any street changes as well.
But that's not a threat to the project – it's a report that should prove beneficial to all.

The Tribune-Star
Ominous, but distant.
The black-and-white pages of the Oct. 23, 1962, Terre Haute Tribune conveyed the threat of nuclear war, brewing 90 miles from America's southernmost shores. Still, the stare-down between the world's military superpowers — a duel known as the Cuban Missile Crisis — seemed far-off, despite the newspaper's bold block-letter headlines and grim wire-service reports.
On Page 2 — just below the conclusions of stories about the U.S. blockade of Cuba, ordered by President Kennedy, and Congress coming to grips with the possibility of a full-scale USA-Soviet Union nuclear battle — were ads for Thursday-night prime-rib dinners at the Hotel Deming (just $2.75), and a special introductory offer on the new line of 1963 appliances at the local Sears store.
If Armageddon loomed for the Wabash Valley, fine dining plans and next year's washing machines would be irrelevant, right?
Yet, one paragraph deep inside The Associated Press story from Washington offered a hint of Terre Haute's largely unknown footnote in Cold War's most dire confrontation, involving the Soviets' buildup of nuclear missile bases in Cuba. The article explained that the Air Force was sending "superfast interceptor planes into better positions to defend the East Coast," specifically F-106s (capable of flying at 1,600-mph) and F-104s (at 1,400-mph).
The local connection, not spelled out in that day's Terre Haute Tribune, was detailed decades later in the 2010 book, "One Minute to Midnight: Kennedy, Khrushchev, and Castro On the Brink of Nuclear War" by Washington Post reporter Michael Dobbs.
As worries that Kennedy's imposition of the Cuban blockade could trigger an attack by the Soviet Union from its bases on the Caribbean island, the North American Defense Command issued a startling order for the Air Force's F-106s, the book explains. A 1.5-kiloton, air-to-air MB-1 "Genie" nuclear warhead — one-tenth the strength of the Hiroshima bomb — was to be installed on each of the F-106s. Those single-seater jets, designed to destroy incoming enemy aircraft, were then armed and dispersed to "dozens of airfields in remote locations."
One of those turned out to be Hulman Field in Terre Haute.
On the evening of Oct. 22, 1962, less than an hour before Kennedy went on national television to explain the dangerous situation to Americans, a squadron of six F-106s from Selfridge Air Force Base near Detroit scrambled toward Hulman Field — an alternate destination, according to the book, selected after fog shrouded a similar air field in Wisconsin. Five of the nuke-toting jets landed without incident in Terre Haute. The sixth, piloted by flight leader Captain Darrell Gydesen, encountered difficulties.
Last week, on the 50th anniversary of the 13-day Cuban Missile Crisis, Gydesen, now 77, recalled that tense moment in a telephone interview with the Tribune-Star from his home in Los Angeles.
The mission was extraordinary, according to "One Minute to Midnight." Sending the F-106s, piloted by one man, cross-country above populated areas contradicted the Air Force's long-standing "buddy system" doctrine, which mandated that two officers be present to maintain control of a nuclear weapon at all times to prevent an inadvertent act, the book stated; this circumstance transcended that policy.
A half-century later, Gydesen recalled it clearly.
He was 27 years old then, and a captain in the squadron. "We were just headed south toward Cuba," Gydesen said, "to join the forces Kennedy had assembled."
The choice of Hulman Field as a stationing point came with a complication. The airfield was undergoing repairs, limiting it to just 7,000 feet of available runway, the book said, but the mission went forward. Even on the flight from Detroit to Indiana, the pilots were on the lookout for Soviet aircraft or missiles, Dobbs wrote.
Upon arrival, the first five planes landed safely, well before the rubble at the runway's end. Gydesen's F-106 caught a burst of tailwind, the book said, and when he released the drag parachute to slow the jet, it didn't expand properly; he quickly realized his nuclear-armed jet was speeding down an abbreviated runway.
"The 106 needed to brake, a drag chute, to stop, and in my case, it didn't work," Gydesen said last week. "I casually mentioned to the tower, I'll be taking the barrier."
That barrier consisted of a web that raises when a controller pushes a button from the tower. If an aircraft overshot the runway, a hook on the fuselage would grab the barrier cable. Hulman Field installed that emergency system just months earlier, the book indicated. In its most crucial test — at 6:39 p.m. Oct. 22, 1962 — the runway backstop worked.
Last week, Gydesen recalled the cable caught the jet, braking and slowing it. The F-106 continued, though, beyond the runway's pavement, onto a rougher path and eventually into a field. It hit a concrete slab holding navigation equipment, breaking off the nose wheel, and dug into the grass before finally stopping.
"The plane was bent a little bit," Gydesen said. The landing gear, tires and a pressure indicator were damaged, but the nuclear warhead emerged intact.
A crash would not necessarily result in a detonation of the warhead, he explained.
He also did not think the faceoff over Cuba would escalate into a USA-Soviet war, based on his previous experiences of international tensions.
One year earlier, Gydesen was part of an Air Force squadron dispatched to Florida during the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, an unsuccessful attempt by CIA-trained Cuban exiles to overthrow that country's communist leader Fidel Castro.
"Basically, my feelings from that standpoint carried over to [the missile crisis]," Gydesen said. "Yeah, it was blustery, saber-rattling, but, no, I wasn't worried about a nuclear holocaust."
His instincts were correct.
As terms of catastrophe — such as "mutually assured destruction" — got repeated in newspaper, TV and radio reports, the two-week saga ended on Oct. 28, when Kennedy and the United Nations secured an agreement with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev for the USSR to pull its nuclear weapons from Cuba and return them to Russia. Within a month, the Soviet arsenal was headed back overseas.
Gydesen, with his jet repaired, and the Detroit squadron eventually flew south to monitor the Soviet departure.
"It was a successful effort. They took the missiles and went home," Gydesen said. "We got to escort a few Russian planes out," shadowing those cargo planes' trek up the East Coast. It was "flight cover to make sure that they didn't turn inland."
Gydesen served 12 more years in the Air Force, including a stint in Taiwan during the Vietnam war, and then retired. A 32-year career as a tax accountant followed. He never flew after leaving the military, but still has a fondness for the F-106s.
"I loved the airplane," he said. "It was a nice-flying airplane. It was powerful and very maneuverable."
And in 1962 on that runway in Terre Haute, the F-106 and Gydesen maneuvered safely through trouble, during one of the most troubling times of the 20th century.
