CHS gym look is changing to reflect 

South Loup, including actual bobcat 

All things Bobcats continues to grow, 

this time with an actual bobcat. 

Callaway school will soon have a 

mounted bobcat on display in the hallway 

in front of the gym. 

Activities Director Jarod Rush said 

the finished taxidermy mount arrived in 

November and they are now waiting for 

Nebraska Prison Industries to finish a 

glass trophy case for the preserved mascot 

and trophies won as South Loup. 

Arnold Public Schools is also undertaking 

its own efforts to obtain and 

display a Bobcat much the same. 

Rush said the challenge was finding 

a bobcat suitable for taxidermy. Some 

candidates were too small or of poor 

quality for the project. They finally 

bought a carcass from a “guy north of 

Merna” that met specifications and it 

was taken to a taxidermist in Cozad. 

“Of course, when you’re looking 

for one you can’t find one, and when 

you aren’t, they’re all over the place,” 

Rush said. 

Contributions to the Callaway 

Community Foundation Fund 

(CCFF) continues to come in. Local 

businesses have contributed to 

give the fund a boost. 

Progressive Fertilizer and 

Propane has opted to contribute 

$5,000 per year for 3 years 

while Meyer Insurance Agency 

and Callaway True Value have 

contributed $5,000 per year for 

2011 and 2012. 

The majority of these contributions 

will help Callaway reach the 

$75,000 total needed to qualify 

for a grant of $25,000 from the 

Hunt Family Challenge from 

Great Plains Communications. 

Mark Kimball of Progressive 

commented that he felt if “small 

towns like Callaway are going 

to continue to prosper and of- 

When the trophy case is ready, this bobcat will greet visitors to the CHS gym. 

Big donations 

edge CCFF toward 

endowment goals 

The result is a fearsome looking cat, if 

not guaranteed to strike fear and trepidation 

into visiting opposing teams, will 

be a fine symbol. 

This is not a taxpayer-funded project. 

Rush said Curtis Stallbaumer has headed 

collection from private donors and to 

date around a dozen have done so. 

The bobcat cost $150 and another 

$700 was needed to mount it by an 

experienced professional. 

Rush said he expects the trophy 

case to be here and the cat on display 

sometime in February. 

“We would have ordered the case 

ahead of time but we didn’t know how 

big the mount would be,” he said. “It’s 

a good thing we waited because the 

trophy case we have now is not wide 

enough.” 

Anyone wanting to help pay for the 

project, donations are welcome. 

Also appearing new in the gym is a 

large South Loup banner sign on the 

south wall made by the Arnold High 

fer some extras needed in the 

community, then we all need to 

contribute to make this happen.” 

He said, “Taxes can’t pay for 

everything.” 

It was noted that Progressive is 

donating over a 3 year period, in 

which Mark said their reasoning 

was “We don’t consider this current 

fund drive of $75,000 a total 

but just a first step, first phase to 

build the Callaway Community 

Foundation Endowment Fund. 

We hope that others will continue 

to contribute even when the first 

$75,000 is raised.” 

Meyer of Meyer Insurance 

Agency said one of their reason 

for contributing is that “We have 

been so blessed to be a part of this 

community. It is a chance for us 

See “CCFF” on Page 3 

School shop class with its sign business. 

Rush and Mike Weverka mounted it on 

the wall just before Christmas. 

On the west wall are poster-size 

photos of CHS senior athletes. Rush 

said this project was started by the senior 

parents and is paid for by outside 

sources though Rush was not sure by 

whom. The seniors will get these posters 

upon graduation. 

Rush called it a nice idea and hopes 

it builds into a yearly tradition. 

“If we could ever come up with the 

money for our floor, I think the gym 

would be pretty much completed,” Rush 

said. “Bears” still graces the floor finish 

and it will be expensive to repaint and finish 

in light of tight budgets right now. 

Also to be unveiled will be a new 

wrestling mat at the South Loup Invite 

in Callaway on Jan. 20. It was paid for by 

sponsors whose logos are emblazoned 

along with the South Loup Logo in the 

center. SORC and Pinnacle Bank were 

the main donors.

Curriculum 

Principal Jane Brown reported 

on a curriculum committee 

meeting. New education standards 

will require that students 

graduate with at least 30 credit 

hours of science by the Class of 

2015. Brown reported the school 

is shooting for 2014 to get ahead 

of the curve. 

As it stands, sophomores not 

seeking higher science curriculum 

such as physics can eliminate 

science from their schedule after 

the two required classes. Once 

implemented, juniors will need 

a third class to meet requirements. 

Juniors will take the Nebraska 

State Accountability (NeSA) science 

testing for real this year and 

those students who have been 

out of the science curriculum 

since the end of their sophomore 

year could be at a disadvantage, 

she said. 

Brown reported that science 

teacher Lynette Svenson has 

come up with a plan for a third 

class that could include a science 

fair, health, NeSA prep, and test 

skills for ACT. Juniors could also 

take chemistry or physics. 

The challenge is packing another 

class into the day. Svenson, 

who was at the meeting, said she 

can do it but it will mean the loss 

of her only planning period. 

Reading groups were also 

addressed. Svenson and math 

teacher Darin Ellis said while 

they enjoy heading up these reading 

groups to engage students in 

comprehension and oral reading

Meanderings 

by Michael A. Wendorff 

It’s becoming more difficult every day to take 

anything said or done by our national leaders with 

more than a grain of salt. Perhaps it’s middle age or 

some kind of hormonal imbalance on the part of this 

crotchety old editor but it’s becoming difficult for 

me to look at a senator, congressman or president 

without suspicion they’ve been bought and paid for 

by interests other than that of the American people. 

When President Obama presents a plan to pare 

down the military as the wars we have been engaged 

in wind down, we hear the Republican leadership 

vociferously condemn the cuts as destroying our 

fighting capability and a pulling back of the United 

States as a world power. What I hear in the background 

are special interests, campaign contributors, 

and lobbyists for the military industrial complex that 

sell Uncle Sam his guns trying to keep the status quo 

in the name of profit. 

When I read where Obama appointed an administrator 

to the new Consumer Finance Protection 

Bureau while Congress may or may not have been in 

recess, I hear Republicans screaming foul because 

they didn’t get their shot at the guy appointed. Conservatives 

say they want more oversight of this new 

agency and the president overstepped his bounds. 

What I hear in the background is those same influences, 

this time from the financial industry, 

which does not want Uncle Sam looking over their 

shoulders as they cook up new versions of financial 

derivatives and hidden fees to lure consumers into 

further financial corners like the ones that already 

have us in a fix. Yes, I am cynical. 

In this election season of discontent, we see a field 

of GOP presidential wannabes who rage at the president 

if he so much as uses a different hand for his 

jump shot in the White House gym. They desperately 

need to look good while making the president (and 

their opponents) look bad so they’ll say anything to 

get our attention. Truth is only an option. I find it 

even more difficult to extend them any of my own 

sense of credulity. I long for a conservative candidate 

with the style and substance of a Ronald Reagan 

and without the apparent craven need to pander to 

whatever extreme right wing nut jobs demanding 

allegiance to their extreme causes. 

Do I think Obama is a good president? It’s hard 

to tell one way or another through the static of 

political rhetoric. Certainly the extremes of his own 

party are not happy because we haven’t become 

good socialists. The economy is improving but not 

quickly enough yet for credit to be directed his way. 

Our wars are winding down and Osama bin Laden 

is dead but terrorism and despotism still dominate 

the world stage. What have we accomplished? Who 

can we blame? What have we gained? What have 

we lost? We’ll have to decide that this November. 

Beware of extremists on both sides. 

Obama is certainly no worse than Jimmy Carter 

and no better than Bill Clinton. I believe he is a decent 

man but do not agree with many of his political 

views. Would any of the opposition have done better 

— or will do better? 

By the way, so long to Sen. Ben Nelson who will 

retire rather than run again. He may be among the 

last of the political moderates (though my conservative 

friends disagree). The state GOP continues to 

jeer but have be breathing a sigh of relief. Nelson 

may look like somebody’s sweet old granddad but he 

was a consummate political infighter as a number of 

broken contenders can well attest.

Dear Fellow Nebraskans: 

Education is a key priority 

in our state and educating our 

sons and daughters is an investment 

that will pay dividends for 

individuals, families and communities 

throughout our state. 

Education success and economic 

success are directly linked. In 

Nebraska, we are committed to 

creating higher paying jobs and 

developing a highly educated 

workforce so that our graduates 

and young professionals are prepared 

for high-quality, high-skill 

jobs with Nebraska companies. 

Fulfilling this vision requires a 

focused effort on student and 

school achievement. 

I would like to share with you 

Nebraska high school academic 

results in several areas. This information 

includes high school 

graduation rates, the statewide 

reading assessment results, 

the statewide math assessment 

when it was very important to 

stand firm. 

Sometimes I’m in Capable, 

and I go there more often as I’m 

getting older. 

One of my favorite places 

to be is in Suspense. It really 

gets the adrenalin flowing and 

pumps up the old heart! At 

my age I need all the stimuli 

I can get. 

And, sometimes I think I am 

in Vincible, but life shows me 

I am not!

Even though they are old

how to pronounce it!) 

“Figure of speech in which 

the latter part of a sentence 

or phrase is surprising or unexpected; 

frequently used in a 

humorous situation.” 

“Where there’s a will, I want

it is important to note the

Nebraska schools build on 

a tradition of excellence. Sharing 

this information is meant 

to prompt discussion between 

educators, parents, and communities

Nebraska schools began to administer

Governor looks at state education results 

by Craig R. Christiansen 

Executive Director 

Neb. State Education Association 

I wrestle every January, as 

does much of America, with the 

dilemma of New Year’s resolutions. 

It is an old custom about 

what changes should be made 

in our personal lives, work or 

relationships. Some take resolutions 

very seriously and carefully 

ponder and write down their intentions 

as a kind of contract with 

themselves. Others think about 

making resolutions for change, 

but never quite get around to specifically 

articulating a plan. The 

result is that New Year’s resolutions 

are often the object of humor 

or derision and, sometimes, regret 

in the realization that another year 

will pass without any real attempt 

at improvement. 

The problem with New Year’s 

resolutions is that they are almost 

never big enough. They fail, not 

because they are too difficult or 

long-term, but because they are 

too immediate, too private, and 

too focused on the individual. 

Most resolutions do not involve 

the community, family, friends, 

club or other social institutions. 

These groups could provide 

support and encouragement to 

reach goals that are far beyond 

our personal vanities. Instead, 

resolutions usually focus on such 

individualist concerns as how 

many times to go to the gym, 

how many calories to cut, how 

to quit smoking, or how often to 

review our high school French. 

Important, strategic decisions 

that promise significant change in 

our lives involve much more than 

When resolutions 

matter for schools 

focusing on just ourselves. 

Strategic, long term 

So, what are the social institutions 

that make the most 

long-term difference to the quality 

of life? Whatever else our 

lists contain, they undoubtedly 

include public schools. How can 

we talk about improving the quality 

of life without talking about 

a renewed commitment to our 

local schools? 

Resolutions that count are 

strategic. They span time, sometimes 

generations. No one makes 

New Year’s resolutions that 

are intended for just one day. 

Some even argue that there is a 

direct correlation between the 

proposed time duration of the 

resolution and its significance, 

but most resolutions are lucky to 

last a year. 

The effects of any support we 

can give to our local schools may 

last for generations. The offer to 

mentor an individual student 

or share special expertise with a 

teacher or her class (or with the 

entire school), giving a financial 

contribution for special equipment 

or materials, or simply being 

a volunteer at our local school are 

all great examples of a New Year’s 

resolution that makes a difference 

for others. 

What issues should get our 

renewed commitment at the 

beginning of the New Year? 

What really makes a difference 

in the quality of life in our communities? 

Good parenting and 

special attention to the youngest 

members of our communities, 

including health, constructive 

play, and safe homes, streets 

and playgrounds are not just the 

responsibility of parents. These 

are critical components — with 

the local school — in the education 

and development of our children. 

And they are the perfect objects 

of resolutions that matter. 

For us ... or others? 

So, are we serious enough 

about our resolutions to make 

such a contract? The point is 

While poverty and diversity 

are challenges for our schools, 

we are determined to strengthen 

Nebraska’s education system by 

eliminating academic achievement 

gaps. The best opportunity 

to reduce poverty and to provide 

every young person hope is with a 

quality education. We have good 

schools in our state, but as good 

as they are we need to do even 

better in the future.

that, if we are committed to the 

support of public education, safe 

communities, and a head start 

for our children, why do we keep 

making resolutions such as eating 

good carbs or spending more time 

with the dog? 

Resolutions that matter can 

make a difference for our communities 

and the futures of our 

children. Consider being a mentor 

or volunteering in your local 

school. Become active in your 

community or neighborhood 

association to make our public 

spaces safe and clean. Volunteer 

to be a Big Brother or Big 

Sister. Actively support political 

candidates or elected officials 

that support education and child 

welfare. 

So, what will our resolutions be 

this year? Are they just for us ... or 

do they involve others? This year 

— make resolutions count.

by Jean Woodward 

The first potluck dinner of 

2012 was held at noon, Jan. 4, 

with 20 people in attendance. 

Ole Chesley led us in grace, and 

after enjoying a delicious meal 

of a variety of choice dishes, 

President Wanda opened the 

meeting. 

Secretary and Treasurer’s 

report were given. A letter was 

read from Modern Mothers 

asking for volunteers to help 

prepare food for the firemen 

in case of a disastrous fire in 

our area. A sign-up sheet was 

passed around for those who 

could be called to help. 

With no other business on 

the agenda, several poems 

were read to the delight of all. 

This is a good time to gather 

for friendship and to enjoy 

a good, healthy meal and we 

would welcome more people 

joining us. Remember to mark 

1 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 18 on 

your calendar for our Birthday 

Party. Who can resist cake and 

ice cream? 

Those who wanted stayed 

and played cards in the afternoon.

skills, it does take away from 

valuable time with students in 

their own subject matter. Ellis 

said he would like to see the 

return of an eighth period. 

Superintendent Pat Osmond 

also noted that wedging another 

class requirement into an already 

packed schedule, or rearranging 

schedules to accommodate it and 

other classes, will likely bring about 

unintended consequences no matter 

how carefully it is done. 

This brought about discussion 

on the need to create time for 

teachers and administration to 

meet more regularly to discuss 

these kinds of issues and improve 

communication. 

These issues were tabled for 

a future meeting. 

In other agenda business, 

the board: 

n heard from Osmond that a 

descendent of Professor Windom 

Rosene had donated a 1930s era 

Callaway letter sweater to the 

school. Rosene was a teacher 

and administrator at Callaway 

Public from 1916 to 1935 and is

to give back to the community, as 

a way to say thank you for all the 

community does for us.” 

Pitkin commented that Callaway 

has been here for 35 years 

as of 2012 and “The community 

has been very good to us over 

the years. We were able to raise 

our sons here and make a good 

living, all thanks to the Callaway 

Community so this was an easy 

decision to contribute back to the 

Callaway Community.” 

All three men representing 

these businesses expressed the 

hope that all the businesses in 

Callaway would be contributors 

to this fund. 

“We contribute these funds 

sort of as a challenge to other 

businesses, to encourage them 

to contribute as well,” Pitkin said. 

“Working together we can lay the 

groundwork for strong future for 

the needs of Callaway.” 

All gifts, regardless of the 

amount, are part of building the 

total. It is a great opportunity to 

a highly regarded figure in local 

history. The sweater will be put 

on display at a later date. 

n heard that the school has 

received a check for $436.80 

from Box Tops for Education. 

Elementary students, staff and 

parents have been collecting the 

box tops for about 10¢ each for 

use in the activity fund. These 

funds will be directed to the 

elementary. People are encouraged 

to continue collecting them 

for the school. 

n heard from Brown that the 

school was lice free as of the end 

of Christmas vacation. 

n heard that Osmond is 

in discussion with Southwest 

Distance Learning Network, to 

which the school now belongs, 

and ESU 10 which is offering 

the same service. Both have presented 

and Osmond will bring a 

recommendation to the Feb. 13 

meeting. 

n voted 6-0 to appoint Osmond 

as authorized representative 

to sign for all federal funds. 

This is a routine yearly action. 

help keep build the community 

and keep it vibrant. Meyer and 

Pitkin agreed with Kimball that 

they hope to see the fund grow 

way beyond the first $75,000 but 

that the fund would continue to 

grow significantly.

Boys pull out OT 

win, lose next two 

South Loup boys basketball 

had it’s ups and downs coming 

out of the Christmas break going 

1-2 in a grueling week. 

The Bobcats started with 

an amazing comeback, 56-50 

overtime victory over Amherst 

(7-3) on Jan. 3, in which Aaron 

Stryker scored 34 points. 

A visit to Sandhills/Thedford 

(9-2) was not quite so 

dramatic as the Knights kept 

Bobcat scoring down in a 

46-33 loss. 

Burwell’s (10-1) only loss 

came at the hands of topranked 

Ravenna. The Longhorns 

used their nimble height 

to roll over the Bobcats 55-39 

in a home game Saturday. 

South Loup (4-4) has come 

through a pretty tough schedule 

and Head Coach Jeff Cole 

said he is glad they don’t have 

anymore Burwells on their 

schedule. The rest is more 

doable. 

The Bobcats will be back 

on the road with a contest at 

Maxwell (4-7) on Friday the 

13th and then head back to 

Lincoln County for a go at a 

quality Brady team (9-1).

Litchfield. 

Cole said if the Bobcats play 

like they did in the first quarter 

against Burwell, he likes their 

chances against anyone left on 

the schedule. 

South Loup vs. Burwell 

It certainly looked good 

as South Loup got up early 

leading 11-7. Eamon Schwarz 

put down a three and a two 

while Tanner Cline added four 

points on two buckets. 

But shortly into the second 

period, Burwell was up 

22-11. 

South Loup managed to 

keep pace until the Longhorns 

rattled off a run shooting over 

defenders and using such 

unheard plays at this level 

as the alley-oop where the 

point guard “shoots” toward 

a streaking post on the way 

up who catches and puts it 

home. The Bobcats saw this 

several times. 

Meanwhile, Burwell kept 

Stryker under wraps and out 

of rhythm on the outside. 

Schwarz and Stryker each 

finished with 7 points while 

Stryker also led rebounding 

with six for South Loup. 

Burwell out-rebounded the 

Bobcats 35-25. 

“I thought other than rebounds, 

our kids played really, 

really well. We just lost the ball 

game. I thought they left it all 

out on the floor so I was pretty 

pleased with their effort.” 

Cole noted that when you

can start players all between 

6-foot-3 and 4 who are athletic, 

it’s pretty hard to stop. 

“They just have basketball 

bodies. And when they can 

shoot and move like that, what 

are you going to do?” 

No shame in losing to a 

good club like that. Of note, 

the Bobcats held Burwell to 

its second lowest point total 

of the season. Ravenna held 

the Longhorns to 44. 

South Loup at S/T 

Another tall team that was 

able to shoot over South Loup 

defenders, said the coach. 

The Knights jumped out 

early 14-4 but led just 17-10 

at the half and then out-scored 

South Loup 29-23 to close out 

the game. 

Rebounding was again an 

issue as the Knights more 

than doubled up on the boards 

50-23. 

Stryker led Bobcat scoring 

with 12 points. 

“The kids gave a good effort 

but they just couldn’t 

keep them off the glass,” Cole 

said. 

South Loup at Amherst 

Now if the last two games 

were a struggle, the overtime 

win versus Amherst was 

amazing. 

Stryker went 6-of-8 from 3 

point range, sank 8-0f-10 free 

throws and scored 34 points 

to bring the Bobcats back from 

47-40 to tie the game at 50 to 

put it OT. 

“We played a really good 

game,” Cole said of the Bobcats. 

“They (Amherst) were a 

good ball club and the shots 

we made were all contested. 

That was probably the most 

complete game we’ve played 

and it doesn’t hurt that Aaron 

shoots 10-of-14 from the floor, 

either. He was definitely in 

the zone.” 

South Loup jumped out 

early but lost intensity in the 

next two periods falling behind 

41-36 at the end of three. 

It then mounted a 13-8 rally to 

put it into overtime and then 

blanked the Broncos 6-0. 

Cole said that usually the 

first team to score in OT has 

the advantage and that proved 

the case here. 

South Loup hit 14-of-19 free 

throws for 74% of which Justin 

Ross was clutch hitting 5-of-6 

including three in OT. He had 

nine points overall.

Lady Bobcats still falling but are 

improving daily along the way 

Christmas break ended with 

a crash for the South Loup Lady 

Bobcats who opened the second 

half with one makeup game and 

two more contests Jan. 3, 5 and 

7. It was all a struggle in scoring 

for the varsity.

at the Amherst Invite last Saturday 

scoring 25 points and 

medaling two Bobcats. 

The meet marked the return 

of state-returning 120 pounder

said the Bobcats are glad to have 

Eggleston back on the team. On 

this day, he wrestled as a JV so 

his points did not count on the 

team score. 

Junior Garret Dockweiler 

continues to improve coming 

away with second place at 160 

for his best finish of the season. 

His only loss of the day was to 

Wyatt Schake of Amherst who 

pinned Dockweiler in 1:42 of 

the championship match. 

the Bobcats 57-33 on Saturday, 

Sandhills/Thedford (9-2) took 

them down 51-22 on the Lady 

Knight home court Thursday and 

Amherst (7-3) rolled past 44-18 

on Jan. 3. 

Head coach Abe Hinman said 

it was a tough week playing three 

games back-to-back with just one 

partial practice. “You have to kind 

of let them get their legs back 

under them.” 

“We had three pretty tough 

teams. I felt that early on we really 

didn’t play all that well but, for 

some reason, they played with a 

little bit more passion on Saturday, 

which was good to see. With 

the long week, had they decided 

to not play, it could have gotten 

pretty ugly.” 

South Loup (1-8) will have 

another long road haul this week 

starting with Maxwell (7-5) on 

Friday the 13th, and then right 

back to area Saturday with a tilt 

against state-rated Brady (10-1). 

This coming Thursday, Jan. 19, 

the Bobcats will be at Litchfield 

(4-6). 

Oh, and state-rated Mullen (9-1) 

will come to Arnold for another 

makeup game this Tuesday.

Coleman said Dockweiler 

continues to improve and 

noted that his loss came at the 

hands of the returning state 

runner-up. 

Others scoring points for 

the Bobcats were Jacob Mason 

(120), Kyle Pierce (145), and Ian 

Beshaler (182). 

It was a Bronco kind of a 

day as Amherst rolled up 246 

points to take the team championship 

while Plainview was 

got all the shots they wanted and 

scored in double figures in every 

period. 

Hinman noted it was the offensive 

glass where the Longhorns 

really hurt the Bobcats with a 27-9 

advantage and a 43-30 margin 

overall. 

Yet, South Loup seemed to 

get some scoring under way in 

the fourth quarter hitting 7-of- 

10 free throws and making some 

shots down the stretch. The coach 

said they have been practicing 

free throws a lot and it’s starting 

to show. 

“That’s been another positive 

thing,” he said. “The girls have 

been coming in the mornings to 

shoot free throws and it’s paying 

off.” They just need to get to the 

line more often, he added. 

Shayla Dockweiler came off 

the bench to score 8 points, including 

a steal with a breakaway 

lay-up at the end and Michaela 

Weverka finished with 8 boards 

and Jordan Rush had 7. 

The Bobcats also cut their 

turnovers down to 24. 

South Loup at S/T 

Up 35-10 early, Sandhills/ 

Thedford cruised the rest of the 

way. 

Rush and Shayla Dockweiler 

both led the Bobcats with six 

points but Rush also brought 

down 10 boards. South Loup was 

also 4-of-6 at the line but got only 

nine shots from the field. 

South Loup at Amherst 

Up 40-12 at the half, Amherst 

called off the dogs in the final two 

periods scoring no points in the 

third and just four in the fourth. 

South Loup simply struggled 

to score putting up just 8-of-33 

from the field and 2-of-8 from 

the line. 

For all that, Rush still had 

10 rebounds and 7 points while 

Weverka recorded 8 boards. 

JV beats Burwell 

South Loup JV girls weathered 

an 15 point first-quarter Burwell 

second with 141.5 points and 

Medicine Valley amassed 127 

points for third. South Loup 

finished 14th out of 18 teams, 

including the combined scoring 

of unattached wrestlers. 

“We had 13 guys wrestling 

for us so we were finally pretty 

healthy as a team,” Coleman 

said. He said it was a tough meet 

but thought much of the team 

“wrestled on its heels.” 

“Hopefully this weekend we 

will get some good wins and 

some confidence,” he said. 

The Bobcats will compete 

in the SEM Invite at Sumner 

starting at 1 p.m., this Friday. 

On Saturday, they journey to 

Shelton starting at 10 a.m.

Medal comes to war vet 68 years later 

Sailor aboard ship 

during the liberation 

A little more than 68 years 

after the Battle of Leyte Gulf 

in World War II, a Machinist 

Mate on the USS California 

was recognized for his role in 

helping to liberate the Philippines 

from the Japanese. 

That mate, Dave DeLong 

received the Philippine Republic 

Presidential Citation 

Unit Badge and the Philippine 

Liberation Medal from the 

Philippines Office of Veterans 

Affairs in the mail on Dec. 21. 

DeLong was serving on 

the California, a part of the 

invasion force landing at 

Leyte to take back the island 

nation from the Japanese. 

Recognition for battles that liberated 

the Philippines. 

Japan sent a three-prong 

naval task force to throw the 

American fleet back thereby 

leaving the troops on the 

ground isolated. It almost 

worked but superior U.S. 

naval power and numbers 

shattered the Japanese fleet 

in a series of engagements in 

October 1944. 

DeLong’s ship was sunk 

in the attack on Pearl Harbor, 

raised, refitted and put 

back into action. He was 

assigned to the ship following 

the sinking of his first berth 

on the USS Yorktown which 

was bombed and torpedoed 

during the Battle of Midway. 

Four weeks later he was helping 

to refit his new berth. 

At Leyte, the California 

was part of task force commanded 

by Rear Admiral 

Jesse B. Oldendorf, with six 

old slow battleships (five of 

which had been sunk or damaged 

at Pearl Harbor), four 

heavy and four light cruisers, 

and 26 destroyers. The force 

was charged with the task of 

stopping the Japanese Southern 

Force expected to pass 

through Surigao Strait. 

The ships and sailors were 

ready for the Japanese commanded 

by Admiral Nishimira 

as they entered the strait 

with the intention of sneaking 

around to trap and attack the 

fleet at Leyte. 

“We ambushed them,” De- 

Long said. “They didn’t know 

we were there. The reason 

they were there was because 

they had another task force 

coming down from the north 

and they were going to trap us 

in the Leyte Gulf.” 

While the California was in 

the Gulf as forces cleaned up 

after the successful invasion, 

DeLong said the Japanese 

were sending in a scout plane, 

the men came to call “Check 

Point Charlie,” every evening 

just before dark to check on 

the American fleet’s status. 

His task force waited for the 

scout plane to come and go 

and then steamed out in the 

night for Sirigao Strait as the 

Americans knew the Japanese 

were coming. 

The Japanese were first 

attacked about 11 p.m., 

on Oct. 24 by PT Boats firing 

torpedoes while reporting 

back the position of the enemy 

to U.S. commanders. As 

the Japanese force advanced 

into the strait, it came under 

a devastating torpedo attack 

by U.S. Destroyers from both 

sides of the strait. 

The American destroyer 

attacks were so successful 

that when the Japanese 

force came within range of 

the battleships and cruisers 

positioned across the Strait all 

U.S. Postal Service 

announces rate increases 

for most classes of mail 

Beginning Jan. 22, it will cost 

a penny more to mail letters 

to any location in the United 

States. It will be the first price 

change for First-Class Mail 

stamps (Forever stamps) in 

more than 2½ years. However, 

customers can continue to mail 

letters at today’s prices by purchasing 

their forever stamps 

before Jan. 22. 

“That’s why Forever stamps 

were created, to help consumers 

ease the transition during 

price changes,” said Callaway 

Postmaster Melva Phillips. 

The new single-piece First- 

Class Mail pricing will include: 

n Letters (1 oz.) — 1-cent 

increase to 45¢ 

n Letters additional ounces 

— unchanged at 20 cents 

n Postcards — 3¢ increase 

to 32¢ 

n Letters to Canada or 

Mexico (1 ounce) — 5¢ increase 

to 85¢. 

n Letters to other international 

destinations — 7¢ 

increase to $1.05 

Prices also will change for 

other mailing services, including 

Standard Mail, Periodicals, 

Package Services and Extra 

Services. While actual percentage 

price increases for various 

products and services varies, the 

overall average price increase 

across all mailing services is 

capped by law at 2.1%, the rate 

of inflation calculated based on 

the Consumer Price Index. 

New for all customers is 

a 3 month pricing option to 

rent PO Boxes. 

“The overall price increase 

is small and is needed to help 

address our current financial 

crisis,” said Phillips.” 

The price of Shipping Services 

will also change on Jan. 

22. The overall price change 

for all Shipping Services is 

4.6%, with Priority Mail prices 

increasing an average 3.1% and 

Express Mail prices increasing 

an average 3.4%. 

The new Mailing and Shipping 

Services prices are available 

at www.usps.com/newprices.htm. 

Priority Mail pricing will 

offer an average 6.8% discount 

off retail prices for customers 

using online and other 

authorized postage payment 

methods. For commercial and 

online customers, a new, larger 

Regional Rate Box C (12x12x15 

inch) will be added to the existing 

two sizes. 

Prices will also be adjusted 

for other shipping services 

products and services, including 

Parcel Select, Parcel Return 

Service, International Mail, 

Premium Forwarding Service 

and Post Office Box Service. 

The Postal Service receives 

no tax dollars for operating expenses 

and relies on the sale of 

postage, products and services 

to fund its operations. 

that remained were the battleship 

Yamashiro, one heavy 

cruiser and one destroyer. 

The overwhelming gunfire 

of the Allied ships sank the 

Yamashiro and reduced the 

cruiser Mogami to a blazing 

wreck. One destroyer survived. 

When the second half of 

the Japanese force followed 

on behind, its commander 

saw the devastation, became 

discouraged and withdrew. 

The overall result of the 

last gasp attempt to throw the 

Americans out was that the 

Japanese Navy was essentially 

rendered ineffective the 

rest of the war. 

The California helped support 

the landing at the main 

island of Luzon after the first 

of the year. DeLong said on 

the fourth day, the ship sustained 

a kamikaze hit which 

damaged the after fire control 

tower. Most of the electronics 

equipment used to aim the 

ship’s guns were wrecked and 

this forced the ship and crew 

to withdraw back to port in 

Bremerton, Wash. 

Though Luzon was their 

last engagement, the ship and 

crew supported numerous 

invasions as the Americans 

threw back the enemy island 

by Island. They were supporting 

the invasion of Saipan, 

one of the bloodiest battles 

of the war, when a Japanese 

tank dug into a cave managed 

to hit the battleship with a 

round from two three miles 

out to sea as the big guns 

were laying down a barrage 

in support of the invading 

troops. It hit the crows nest. 

“Two or three guys got 

Purple Hearts out of that,” 

DeLong said with a chuckle at 

the irony of a battleship being 

attacked by a tank. 

DeLong took shore duty 

until the Japanese surrendered 

and the war ended. He 

was honorably discharged on 

Sept. 18, 1945. 

He came home, got married, 

was hired by Custer 

County Public Power as a 

lineman and later an engineer, 

raised his family and 

now lives in retirement with 

wife, Phyllis, in Callaway. The 

war was left behind but the 

memories still linger. 

The Presidential Unit Citation 

Badge was first issued in 

April 1967, and the Liberation 

Medal, July 1986. The awards 

were a way for the Philippine 

nation to say thanks to those 

soldiers, sailors, marines and 

airmen who liberated the

country from the brutal occupation 

of the Japanese. 

He said there are probably 

several thousand veterans of 

the liberation that are still 

eligible to receive the medal 

and ribbons. There are fewer 

every day. “It’s an award for 

me but it’s also an award for 

those who didn’t make it,” he 

said. 

DeLong said he did not 

hear about it until attending 

an annual reunion of the 

California’s crew. He sent the 

necessary information to the 

Philippine government and, 

to his surprise, was issued the 

awards. 

The California was cut up 

for scrap years ago and its 

surviving sailors are now old 

men. Just one more reunion 

is slated as most have become 

too infirm to make the trip. 

Out of the original 2,000 men 

who served on the ship, only 

14 made it to the one DeLong 

attended two or three years 

ago. Most of those, he said, 

were in wheelchairs. 

DeLong said he will send 

the medals and ribbons to his 

daughter, DiAnne and her 

husband, who are members of 

USS Yorktown CV 10 Association. 

“She’s the historian in 

the family,” he said.
