Creighton basketball will be topic for Nov. 17 Shatel Lunch

Sellout crowd turns out for former governor, first lady

Carlos Castillo, former advisor to the governor, said, “He is very, very cheap, and I say that with all the affection in the world.”

Dr. Joann Schaefer, former chief medi-cal officer forNebraska, chidedHeine-man for his attention to every little detail, even down to the typeface she used on PowerPoint presentations.

KFAB “Good Morning Show” host Jim Rose brought down the house with his spot-on voice imitation of Governor Dave. Noting Heineman’s small-town Nebraska roots, Rose said, “He was born in a sink with a silver spoon in his mouth. Rose added, “Dave is so short. His box-ers have cuffs on them.”

The man Heineman succeeded as gov-ernor, Mike Johanns, said that it became apparent Heineman had designs on be-coming governor when he entered his officeandfoundHeinemansittinginhischair.

Dr. Ken Bird, CEO of Avenue Schol-ars, hauled out a poster of Ganem as she rode in a convertible as the 1970 UNO homecoming queen. He noted that the Indian garb she was wearing was “a little

They came from all over the state to pay homage to Nebraska’s long-est reigning first couple – Dave

Heineman and Sally Ganem.

There were politicians galore, includ-ing two U.S. senators, the current gover-nor, a couple of regents and a number of state senators. A sellout crowd of 250 packed the Omaha Press Club to watch as the 39th governor of Nebraska and his South Omaha bride of more than 40 years were enshrined as the 146th Face on the Barroom Floor.

It wasn’t easy, as Heineman and Ganem had to navigate through seven roasters and emcee Hal Daub before they could receivetheirplaceonthefloor.Mostof the roasters took aim at the former gov-ernor with one recurring theme — this was a man who knows how to pinch a penny.

It started with Sen. Deb Fischer, who recounted how the governor treated her tolunchonce–“WedrovethroughMc-Donald’s, and he used a gift card.”

Rex Fisher, director of corporate rela-tions for HDR, Inc. and a frequent golf partner of Heineman, noting the gov-ernor’s “legendary cheapness and tight-waddedness,” said Heineman has worn the same pair of khaki Dockers for 10 years, never wears shorts and is using the same golf clubs he got as a graduation present in 1970 from the U.S. Military Academy. “It’s sad,” Fisher said. “He thinks he’s still governor and people care.”

inappropriate.” Bird said Heineman was “the self-proclaimed education gover-nor….even though he never did a damn thing for funding the Learning Commu-nity.”

Whentheroasterswerefinished,evenGanem had her own barb for her hus-band. Noting that the state quarter came out during Heineman’s governorship, she said, “You could say we had a two-bit governor.”

She did, however, salute the governor for his incredible work ethic. “Dave nev-er did take a vacation day,” she said. “He didn’t even go to the Great Wall when he was in China.”

Instead of slinging retorts back, Heine-man opted to take the high road. He called it “an incredible honor to be gov-ernor of the best state in the country. I got to see Nebraska at its best every day.”

It was evident the governor who served for a decade (2005-2015) was held in high esteem by all in attendance. Schaefer summed it up well, as she said, “He was a tremendous boss, leader and governor.”

New Baxter Arena opens doors to OPC Forum:Here’s what you missed if you did not attend the October Noon Forum.

Opening of Baxter Arena is perfect timing for UNO hockey team

Mike Kemp speaks at Shatel lunch By Tom O’ConnorOPC Committee Co-Chair

ou couldn’t write a better script. The University of Nebraska at Omaha–theNo.1-rankedcollegehockey team in the country for the

firsttimeinschoolhistoryafterasizzling4-0startontheroad–opensitsneware-na before a packed house.

“It’s all karma,” said Tom Shatel, sports columnist for the Omaha World-Herald and host of the Shatel Lunch Series. “It’s sup-posed to happen.”

Mike Kemp, UNO’s associate athletic director and a name synonymous with UNO hockey since 1996, entertained the crowd at the Oct. 20 lunch, three days be-fore the Mavericks’ home opener.

Kemp called the Mavericks’ new home –BaxterArena–an“amalgamation”ofseveral hockey facilities that were visited around the country while UNO’s arena was in the design stages. Of all the are-nas they saw, Kemp said, Baxter Arena is

most patterned after Matthews Arena, “a majestic old barn” built in 1905 and the home rink for Northeastern University in Boston.

“It (Baxter Arena) has a very vertical feel,” Kemp said. “Everybody is right on top of the rink.”

The arena is a multipurpose facility, he said, noting that it hosted the Aksarben Coronation and will be home for UNO basketball and volleyball games. “Arenasneedtobeheard–that’swhatgives them soul,” Shatel said. “This one has it really figured out.” One of thefan-friendly amenities, Shatel said, is that “there is a beer stand about every fivefeet.” Kemp said the new arena even includes some features that will provide a slight “home ice advantage” to the Mavs, such as the home team bench being closer to the penalty box than the visiting team bench.

He said having the hockey arena on campus is a “huge step forward” for UNO. It will help the Mavs be even more competitiveinthedifficultNationalCol-legiate Hockey Conference. Kemp said the NCHC is the “best conference in college hockey,” with six of the eight conference teams making the NCAA playoffs in 2014 and seven teams ranked in the top 20 this year.

Even though the Mavs are “a very young team,” Kemp said, “It’s going to be an incredible season…it could be one for the ages.” Shatel said having hockey return to the Aksarben area (former home of the Omaha Knights hockey team) brings back fond memories for Omaha hockey historians. “This is going to be magical,” he said.

he OPC Noon Education Forum hit the road in October for a tour of UNO’s “Palace on the Papio.” Actually, “Ice Palace” might be the

more precise description of the new Bax-ter Arena, where ice hockey will be the crown jewel of the $82-million multi-use building near 67th and Center streets (and the Little Papio Creek). The OPC Forum began with lunch in the arena’s club lounge and presentations by Mike Cera, Baxter Arena general man-ager and associate athletic director, and Josh White, senior associate athletic direc-tor. White chronicled the evolution and growth of UNO athletics as it has transi-tioned into Division I competition. The opening of the 7,898-seat Baxter Arena caps that transition, providing a campus site for a variety of university and community events. In addition to hockey, Baxter will be home to UNO volleyball andmen’sandwomen’sbasketball–atotal

of about 60 varsity sports contests during the school year. The arena also will host concerts, metropolitan-area commence-ments and other activities for an expected total of about 120 major events in a year. And then there is the community ice sheet, one of the highlights of the tour conducted by Cera. The community arena provides practice ice for the Mavericks and much more. It will be open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., with at least a third of the hours reserved for

community use. The ice will be available for open skating, youth and club hockey, figureskatinggroups,curlingandcampusrecreation. As for the main arena, “Black is the New Red” and the motto is “Wear Black. Get Loud.” From the seats to the curtains and backdrops, the dominant Baxter color is black, with hints of red and gray. The two-bowl design, with an open concourse between the two levels, puts spectators close to the action.

Making a mark is probably the hope each leader has when entering a new position. I have

to admit, last year at this time I was considering what I might try to accom-plish this year for your club. Should I go for a remodel, new events, move the club to the former Rick’s Café Boatyard building (I hear it is available again), or just play it safe?

Ultimately, when considering what I can accomplish, I have to quickly evalu-ate my strengths. After uncovering few, if any, core competencies, I then settle for things I know I can handle. Jokes aside, I usually gravitate towards mem-bership value when I am in a leadership position for any group. For me, the bottom line is found at the place that the user, client or mem-

one thing very well. I trusted the people who are on the committees at our club, as well as our restaurant management team: Steve and Christine Villamonte. Yes, if I can be remembered in these waning days of my presidency for one thing, let it be that I knew when to let good people do great work.

I appreciated having input, listening to their needs and removing any hur-dles I could. But in the end, knowing when to get out of the way might be the greatest accomplishment for any leader. Oh,andwe’vealsomadesomefixesand changes to the bylaws. We hope to approve them at the annual meeting.
