There are no wheelchairs in heaven. But while we are here, some of us need a little help.

The First United Methodist Church of Lincoln's congregation dedicated their new elevator yesterday after Sunday services. With that and the new ramp at the front of the church, the venerable old structure is now 100 percent handicapped-accessible.

Guzzardo's Italian Villa

In this Oct. 6, 1952, file photo, Brooklyn Dodgers' Duke Snider is greeted by the batboy on his second homer of Game 6 of baseball's World Series against the New York Yankees at Ebbets Field in the Brooklyn borough of New York. Snider, 84, died early Sunday at the Valle Vista Convalescent Hospital in Escondido, Calif., of what the family called natural causes. Snider was part of the charmed "Boys of Summer" with the Dodgers in the late 1940s and 1950s. He helped lead Brooklyn to its only World Series championship in 1955.
