BY FRANK JORDANS Associated Press

BERLIN — Germany marked the 30th anniversary Saturday of the opening of the Berlin Wall, a pivotal moment in the events that brought down Communism in eastern Europe. Leaders from Germany, Po- land, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic attended a ceremony at Bernauer Strasse — where one of the last parts of the Berlin Wall remains — before placing roses in gaps in the once- fearsome barrier that divided the city for 28 years. Axel Klausmeier, head of the Berlin Wall memorial site, re- called the images of delirious Berliners from East and West crying tears of joy as they hugged each other on the evening of Nov. 9, 1989. Klausmeier paid tribute to the peaceful protesters in East Ger- many and neighboring Warsaw pact countries who took to the streets demanding freedom and democracy, and to then-Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev’s poli- cy of reforms. The protests and a stream of people fleeing East Germany piled pressure on the country’s Communist government to open its borders to the West and, ulti- mately, end the nation’s postwar division.

Merkel also recalled that Nov. 9 remains a fraught date in German history, as it also marks the anni- versary of the so-called Night of Broken Glass, an anti-Jewish po- grom in 1938 that foreshadowed the Nazi’s Holocaust. Light installations, concerts and public debates were planned throughout the city and other parts of Germany to mark the fall of the wall, including a concert at Berlin’s iconic Brandenburg Gate.

KANSAS CITY — A MO cold weather system had people in the Kansas City area wanting more than just a sweater. It also had them reach- ing for nose plugs.

HARRINGTON — A ME Maine lobsterman hauled in an unusual catch 5 miles off the coast — a live deer. Ren Dorr said he was setting traps when he saw a young deer Monday morning.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Uncertainty Court order allows Tigers’ Wiseman to keep playing

Associated Press MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The feel-good season for No. 14 Mem- phis plunged into uncertainty Friday. The school said sec- ond-year coach and former NBA star Penny Hardaway gave more than $11,000 to the family of top prospect James Wiseman, who then got a court order allowing him to play while the university tries to re- store his NCAA eligibility. Memphis issued an extraor- dinary statement less than an hour before the Tigers played Illinois-Chicago at home, say- ing Wiseman was going to be kept out of games based on inter- Hardaway pretation of a rule by the NCAA until the temporary restraining order obtained by Wiseman’s attorney Leslie Ballin late Friday afternoon. “The University is currently working with the NCAA staff to restore his playing status, and we are hopeful for a speedy resolution to the mat- ter,” the statement said. The 7-foot-1 Wiseman was on the court Fri- day night for the national anthem and intro- duced with the starting lineup. Wiseman scored 17 points, grabbed nine rebounds and had five blocks in a 92-46 win. Hardaway declined to take questions on the NCAA and legal issues after the game.
