Mom Helps Cheerleaders Grab Boys' Beer

A woman let her teenage daughter lean out of a moving van to take beer from a vehicle that was driving alongside on a southeastern Nebraska highway, authorities said Wednesday.
Terry Kisling, 47, of Hickman, was driving the van of high school cheerleaders to a football game in Nebraska City earlier this month when a group of boys pulled up next to them in a sport-utility vehicle, Norris High School principal John Skretta said.
One of the girls apparently signaled to the boys and asked for a beer, and Kisling inched the van closer to the SUV, letting her daughter lean out to grab the can, he said.
"To say that we were shocked and taken aback would be an understatement," said Skretta, who said he learned of the incident last week. "It's almost unfathomable."
The vehicles didn't touch and nobody was hurt. The beer was passed around the van for several girls to drink, Skretta said.
Kisling was charged with procuring alcohol for minors, contributing to the delinquency of minors and reckless driving, said Chief Deputy Mike Holland of the Otoe County sheriff's department. Kisling is due in court Nov. 26.
A woman responding to a message left by The Associated Press at a telephone number listed for Kisling said Wednesday that the listing was wrong.
Authorities said they did not know how fast the van was traveling. Nebraska Highway 2 is a divided four-lane highway with a speed limit of 65 mph, Holland said.
Kisling, one of many parents who volunteer to drive students to school activities in district-owned vans, will not be allowed to drive students for the school again, Skretta said.
The girls were disciplined by the school and would likely not face additional charges, Skretta said. He would not say how the school punished the students.

Selig Considers Punishing S.F. Giants’ Owner?
An article in the San Francisco Chronicle claims that MLB Commissioner is contemplating punishing the Giants owner Peter Magonwan for his allegedly willful refusal to deal with Barry Bonds’ former trainer Greg Anderson. What exactly Mr. Selig might do about this is up to discussion but some believe the punishment may come in the form of awarding the San Jose south bay area, what has always been considered Giants territory to the Oakland Athletics as they continue to look for a new stadium site.
