Merle Bettenhausen Passes Away at 82

 

He was not on the list.

Speedway, Indiana (April 29, 2026)………The inspirational Merle Bettenhausen, who overcame the odds to continue to race and win despite an accident that took his right arm, passed away on the morning of April 29, 2026, 26 days following a massive stroke. He was 82 years old.

Born on June 9, 1943, the Tinley Park, Illinois racer grew up in the famed Bettenhausen racing family. His father, Tony Bettenhausen, captured both the 1951 AAA and 1958 USAC National Championship. In 1961, Tony was killed in a practice crash at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway when Merle was just 17 years old.

Merle’s older brother, Gary Bettenhausen, scored four USAC national driving championships in Sprint Cars and Silver Crown cars, and made 21 starts at the Indianapolis 500. Merle’s younger brother, Tony Bettenhausen Jr., made 11 Indianapolis 500 starts and later became a team owner on the Indy Car circuit.

All three brothers were racers to the core, and by 1968, Merle was making his own name in the USAC ranks, winning the first of his eight career National Midget feature events at Indianapolis Raceway Park that year for car owner Ed Loniewski.

Merle added additional wins in 1969 and 1970 for car owner Bob Lockard at Michigan’s Spartan Speedway, Arizona’s Manzanita Speedway and Texas’ Moody & Clary Speedway. He won for Howard Lehmann at Granite City, Illinois in 1971 and at Indiana’s Whitewater Valley Speedway in 1972. Merle also wheeled brother Gary’s ride to victory in 1972 at Manzanita.

Exactly seven weeks following his most recent USAC National Midget win, Merle got the call to drive in the 200-mile Indy Car race in July 1972 at Michigan International Speedway. Just four laps into the event, Merle’s life changed forever.

After tangling with fellow driver Mike Hiss in turn two, Merle’s car slammed the outside wall. The incident resulted in the loss of his right arm above the elbow as well as extensive burns to his face. Merle spent two months at the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor, but soon vowed to race again, somehow, someway.

With the aid on an artificial limb, complete with an accompanying hook to grip the steering wheel, Merle was back in the cockpit of a USAC National Midget in June 1973 at Lost Creek, Kentucky, 11 months to the day following his accident. Despite an 18th place finish in the feature, he qualified an impressive fourth and won his heat race. Merle was officially back.

Nothing signified Merle’s return to racing more than the August 31, 1973, USAC National Midget feature at Johnson City,Tennessee’s Sportsman Speedway. There, in his 14th race back after injury, Merle swung to the outside of Billy Engelhart on the final turn to win by inches in a miraculous photo finish. Making the feat even more remarkable was the fact that Merle drove the final 37 laps of the 40-lapper without the aid of the power steering.

Merle continued to compete through the 1974 season, stating that he thought of himself as a much better and smarter racer post-injury. In fact, he ranked second in the USAC National Midget points entering July.

However, shortly after brother Gary’s accident in a champ dirt car at Syracuse, New York, on July 4, 1974, Merle announced his sudden retirement from racing at the age of 31. It had been something he was contemplating even before Gary’s accident.

“My brother Gary getting hurt at Syracuse is only part of the reason for me doing this,” Merle stated to USAC News at the time. “I've been considering quitting for several weeks and had more or less made up my mind on the way to Syracuse. I think this will be fairer to my wife and my seven-week-old daughter. I don't have any definite plans but I love auto racing and I hope to be involved in it for the rest of my life.”

Bettenhausen did stay involved, selling tires and fuel at racetracks across the country for several years, and he also worked brother Tony Jr.’s Indy Car team. Furthermore, in 1974, Merle was appointed to the Indiana Youth Council by Indiana Governor Otis R. Bowen.

With USAC, Merle made 203 career National Midget starts, 37 National Sprint Car starts, three Indy Car starts, three Silver Crown starts and even a single Stock Car start.

In 1970, he made his first two career Indy Car starts, charging 24th to 8th at the Illinois State Fairgrounds Mile, then went 11th to 7th at the Sacramento Mile. He was named the 1971 Hoosier Hundred Rookie of the Year for his 10th place result at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.

In both 1970 and 1971, Merle captured the World Midget Championship in New Zealand, and in 1974, was the recipient of USAC’s Jim Blunk Memorial Sportsmanship Award presented to the individual contributing most to the image of the professional Midget racer.

David Allan Coe Dies: “Outlaw” Country Singer Who Wrote Defiant ‘Take This Job And Shove It’ Was 86

He was not on the list.

David Allan Coe, the country singer-songwriter who helped define Nashville’s “outlaw” sound of the 1970s and ’80s, and wrote “Take This Job and Shove It,” the song that would become the anthem of disaffected workers during the economic upheaval of the decade, died at a hospital Wednesday, April 29. He was 86.

His death was announced by his wife to Rolling Stone magazine. A cause and exact location of death were not disclosed. Coe reportedly was hospitalized several years ago with Covid-19 and had mostly retreated from public appearances since then, though it is not known whether Covid played a part in his passing.

Along with Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Jessi Colter and others, Coe was a major part of the “outlaw country” movement that swept Nashville in the mid-1970s, offering listeners a rougher, rawer, more rebellious back-to-the-roots approach to country than the slick, string-heavy pop-ish “Nashville Sound,” or “Countrypolitan,” that had been dominant since the 1960s.

While Coe was a noted country singer in his own right, with hits, written by others, including “You Never Even Call Me by My Name,” “Tennessee Whiskey” and “Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile,” his most lasting impact was perhaps as a songwriter. His “Take This Job and Shove It,” with its smack-you-in-the-face opening lyric (“Take this job and shove it/I ain’t workin’ here no more/A woman done left and took all the reasons/I was working for”) was a massive and influential hit for the singer Johnny Paycheck in 1977.

The song was so popular that it inspired a feature film comedy of the same name in 1981. Directed by Gus Trikonis and starring Robert Hays, Barbara Hershey, Art Carney, and David Keith, the Take This Job And Shove It cast also included Coe and Paycheck in small roles.

Several years before “Take This Job…” became a smash, Coe wrote “Would You Lay With Me (in a Field of Stone),” a song that became a 1974 hit for a teenaged Tanya Tucker.

Born September 6, 1939, in Akron, Ohio, Coe did time in reformatories during his youth and, from 1963 to 1967 was imprisoned in Ohio for possession of burglary tools. His first album, 1970’s Penitentiary Blues, features songs he wrote while in prison. Four years later he recorded the album The Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy, which he publicized by performing in a sparkly suit and a mask.

Unlike the more conservative, clean-cut country stars of the ’60s, Coe and the other “outlaws” took on a biker look – Coe himself had been part of a biker gang – that included long hair, beards, tattoos and cowboy hats. One of his hits, 1976’s “Longhaired Redneck,” summed up the image in one song title. The look, as well as the sounds, would make a lasting impact on country music.

Throughout his long popularity, Coe toured with Willie Nelson, Neil Young and even Kid Rock. Along the way, he wrote and recorded albums and songs that pushed boundaries with their racy lyrics, particularly on the 1978 album Nothing Sacred and 1982’s Underground Album. Sexually explicit, the songs also included lyrics that were racist and homophobic, songs he would later regret. In a 2001 Billboard magazine interview, he said, “Those were meant to be sung around the campfire for bikers, and I still don’t sing those songs in concert.”

In later years Coe had serious tussles with the IRS, causing debt, bankruptcy and the lost of publishing rights to even his biggest hits. His final album, in which he collaborated with heavy metal’s Dimebag Darrell and other former members of Pantera, was released in 2006.

Complete information on survivors was not immediately available.

Gordon Snell, children’s author and husband of Maeve Binchy, dies aged 93

Snell also wrote scripts for RTÉ, including the popular children’s show Wanderly Wagon

He was not on the list. 

Gordon Snell, the children’s author, journalist and husband of the late Maeve Binchy, has died aged 93.

He published his first book for children, The King of Quizzical Island, in 1978, following it up with Amy’s Wonderful Nest, Tina and the Tooth Fairy and The Supermarket Ghost, among others.

He met Binchy in the 1970s, when she was appointed to the London office of The Irish Times. The pair married in 1977 and moved to Ireland in the early 1980s. Binchy died in 2012; the couple had no children.

Snell was born in 1932 in Singapore, where his father worked as a surveyor. In 1942 his mother brought him to Australia to settle him into boarding school. She had intended to return to Singapore almost immediately but could not do so after the Japanese invasion began.

After moving to Ireland he wrote scripts for RTÉ, including for the popular children’s show Wanderly Wagon.

In 2009 Binchy revealed that Snell had had a heart-bypass operation.

In a 2023 Irish Times interview with the writer Henrietta McKervey, Snell said: “Maeve and I always said we were very lucky, first to have met each other but also that we realised we were lucky. It’s one of the most important things.”

John Garrett: A broadcasting legend and a legendary human

John Garrett, marvellous entertainer, fine hockey player and all around good human died Tuesday at 74

 He was not on the list.

The always-at-ease, always-ready-to-laugh persona he presented on television was his true self. He was kind and generous. He cared for the people around him.

Those are base qualities for success in life and for success in the public sphere in general.

If he hadn’t been a funny goalie or funny broadcaster, maybe he’d have been a musician.

When he was young, his mother Marvel signed him and his six siblings — Joan, Bert, Evelyn, Eldon, Greg and Murdoch — up for piano lessons. She knew that it would get her kids credits for school, but she also knew it would serve them well in life.

So young John did his mother proud and got his grade 8 piano certification from the Royal Conservatory of Music. And he got his grade 2 in theory, too.

It became something of a lifelong habit; in 2020, with people mostly staying home to slow the spread of COVID-19, the man we know as Cheech got serious about his piano playing again. Years before, he’d given his daughter Krista his old piano. A couple years ago his family bought him a new keyboard and when the world stopped in March 2020, he started playing his piano more seriously again.

Musical talent is a family tradition: his younger brother Greg worked as a music teacher and still leads a choir in Ontario.

John Garrett, marvellous entertainer, fine hockey player and all around good human died Tuesday at 74 of what are believed to be natural causes. He had been in Utah to cover the Utah Mammoth vs. Vegas Golden Knights playoff series. Sportsnet announced his passing on Wednesday morning.

Along with daughters Sarah, Krista — and her children — he leaves his wife Sharon, his partner of more than 50 years.

Born June 17, 1951 in Trenton, Ont., he grew up in the small community of Glenn Miller just outside of Trenton. His father was also named John and was a school teacher and principal; mother Marvel was a homemaker.

Even as his parents pushed him academically, he proved to be an excellent goalie and played two seasons of Jr. A hockey for the Peterborough Petes, starting when he was 18. After two seasons of junior hockey he was drafted by the St. Louis Blues in 1971.

He played a seasons in the Blues’ system, but never got a sniff of NHL action as the Blues opted to give a series of NHL journeymen starts over the young goalie. Before the 1972-73 season, he was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks, but with the NHL club well-staffed in goal by Tony Esposito and Gary Smith, there wasn’t much hope for Garrett here either. Rather than being farmed out to the Blackhawks’ top farm team in Dallas, he split the season between the AHL’s Richmond Barons, who were actually the top affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers, and the WHL’s Portland Buckaroos, a club filled with veteran pros who had long ago given up on their NHL dreams.

And so when the World Hockey Association’s Minnesota Fighting Saints came calling in the summer of 1973, he jumped.

The upstart league had the players at heart, he always argued. Rare were the opportunities in the NHL for 22 year old goalies like Garrett, but in Minnesota he quickly grew into a star. His first season he split starts evenly with Mike Curran. The next season, 1974-75, he made the bulk of the starts and helped the Fighting Saints make the semifinals where they lost to the eventual Avco Cup runners-up the Quebec Nordiques. Playing goal for Quebec was Garrett’s future Vancouver Canucks teammate Richard Brodeur.

The WHA may have revolutionized professional hockey by bringing in teenagers and signing star players to huge contracts, but by Garrett’s third season in Minnesota, the seams were starting to burst. The Saints drew strong crowds but struggled to sell much more than tickets. Despite not having a TV deal and minimal support from the business community — the NHL’s North Stars drew most of the attention — Saints ownership spent big on player salaries.

Eventually the money ran out; the team was confirmed as bankrupt as 1975 came to a close. The players voted to play on but went without pay for six weeks. After receiving just one paycheque in 1976, the team voted to not board a flight to Cincinnati on Feb. 28, 1976. That proved to be the end of the Saints. The team’s better players quickly found themselves scattered across the league; in Garrett’s case he landed with the Toronto Toros, who would become the Birmingham Bulls. After two seasons in the south, he joined the New England Whalers.

Re-branded as the Hartford Whalers, they would be one of the four teams to survive the collapse of the WHA in 1979 and jump to the NHL. After eight seasons as a pro, Garrett had finally made the NHL.

He played six NHL seasons in all, first with the Whalers, then with the Nordiques and finally with the Canucks. For the rest of his life he would speak up for what the WHA did for hockey, pointing directly to his own experience as a young player.

“It was a chance for the game to expand for sure. But for players’ rights, after the WHA, in the ’80s and ’90s, look at the rights and freedoms that the players started to get. They were all created because there was a rival league and you got to choose,” he told Postmedia in 2023. “Like in my case I’m playing behind Tony Esposito and Gary Smith, so it’s, ‘Oh, yeah, you go and play in Dallas, go play in Dallas for two or three years. And if one of those guys screw-up, well, then we’ll give it a chance.’

“And the 18-year-old draft and instead of, ‘Ah well, we’re not going to draft anybody till they’re 20 because then we don’t have to pay to develop.’ The owners had all the rights. And then the WHA came in.”

His arrival in Vancouver is well-told but remains hilarious. With the Canucks lacking an experienced backup to Richard Brodeur, GM Harry Neale traded for Garrett on Feb. 4, 1983. The Canucks faced the Toronto Maple Leafs the following night; Brodeur took a shot in the side of the head, damaging his eardrum. Garrett stepped in and then started the next night in New Jersey.

Brodeur had been named as the Canucks’ representative for the NHL All-Star game two days later, but clearly couldn’t play. The timing of his injury, plus the NHL’s policy of having each team represented by at least one player meant that the easiest solution was to simply name Garrett as Brodeur’s replacement, even though he’d only been a Canuck for three days.

Garrett very nearly stole the show on a Tuesday night in Long Island and looked set to win the MVP for the game until Wayne Gretzky erupted for four goals in the third period. The powers that be had no choice but to award the Great One the game MVP, which came with a car as a prize.

After Garrett’s time as a colour commentator on Canucks broadcasts came to an end in 2023, he was honoured by the city of Vancouver with a John Garrett Day. (Ken Sim, mayor of the time, was a high school pal of Garrett’s broadcast teammate John Shorthouse).

As part of the ceremony, Garrett was given a plaque, which partly read: “Wayne Gretzky is a puck hog and stole all the glory and a Pontiac Firebird from John.” When the plaque was unveiled, there were guffaws. The meal served that day, was, of course, his favourite meal: burgers and fries.

The day also happened to be McHappy Day, which led Garrett to quip to Postmedia: “It’s John Garrett McHappy Day.”

Garrett retired as a player in 1985 and was briefly hired by Harry Neale to be his assistant general manager, but Neale was fired weeks later and new GM Jack Gordon didn’t carry on with the AGM plan, so Garrett, still under contract, was relegated to third-string goalie duty, showing up to practices but left with not much else to do. Late in the season he was sent back to AHL Fredericton where he played the final three games of his career.

The next fall, Hockey Night in Canada’s John Shannon tapped Garrett to be a broadcaster. He was a quick study. Shannon told him to just tell the viewers what he knew best. He quickly realized that personality was also an important skill for a colour commentator and by the time he arrived full-time on Canucks broadcasts in 2002, he had polished his routine.

Working first with Jim Hughson and then later, most famously, John Shorthouse, he won the hearts of Canucks fans. His love of ketchup, of burgers and fries, of meeting with fans, became legendary.

He was always ready to share time with everyone who met him. He’d always express delight when fans would show up with his 1985-86 O-Pee-Chee hockey card, which depicted him in his goalie gear but noted “now assistant general manager” on the front. The silliness of the scene was fitting for a guy who became known so much for his personality.

Shorthouse once called him the best teammate he ever had. Sportsnet host Dan Murphy, who served as their off-ice chaperon for years and was with Garrett in Utah, covering the Vegas-Utah series, said his friend was in great spirits till the very end.

After Garrett’s passing, stories have been shared widely by colleagues and fans alike, all highlighting what a kind person he was.

He will be missed.

Rapper Cleetis Mack Dies Suddenly 

He was not on the list.

Digital Underground member Cleetis Mack has died, TMZ has learned.

A rep for the alternative hip-hop group known for kicking off Tupac Shakur's career tells us Mack passed suddenly ... adding his death "leaves a void in our Digital Underground family and in our hearts that can never truly be filled." A cause of death has not been revealed ... his age at the time of his death is unclear.

Mack -- who was known as "Clee" -- joined the group in 1993, six years after it was founded in Oakland, California by Shock G (Gregory Jacobs), Chopmaster J (Jimi Dright), and Kenny-K (Kenneth Waters). His first single with Digital Underground was "Wussup Wit the Luv" ... featuring Tupac.

Digital Underground tells TMZ ... Mack was "more than a part of the movement -- he was part of the soul behind it, bringing warmth, loyalty, and quiet strength to everyone around him. He will always be remembered by his humility, love, and spirited energy, qualities that lifted those around him and made a lasting impression on all who knew him."

Founding member Shock G died suddenly in April 2021.

Mack was one of dozens of members who joined the ever-evolving band over the years. They were known for their Top 10 hit "The Humpty Dance" ... and "Same Song," Tupac's recording debut.

Roger Sweet obit

R.I.P. Roger Sweet, creator of He-Man

After suffering from dementia, Roger Sweet, who created and named He-Man while working at Mattel in the '70s, has died at the age of 91. 

 He was not on the list.

Roger Sweet has died. Best known as the creator of He-Man, Sweet was a preliminary designer at Mattel during the development of the Masters Of The Universe line. Before his death, his wife, Marlene, announced that he was moving to an assisted living facility due to dementia. She confirmed her husband’s death to TMZ. He was 91.

An Ohio native who graduated from Chicago’s Institute of Design in 1972, Sweet moved out to California to work at Mattel after college. While there, the company turned down a contract to produce the toys for Star Wars because of the $750,000 up-front licensing fee. The company had its Preliminary Design Department, where Sweet worked, designing some male action figure ideas to make up for the missed opportunity. Amid his fellow artists submitting ideas like “Robin and the Space Hoods,” Sweet submitted an idea called “Monster Factory,” though he admitted in a 2005 interview, “it was actually a barbarian fantasy.” As for the name, Sweet brainstormed as many as 50 names, including Mighty Man, Megaton Man, Strong Man, and Big Man. When he got to He-Man, a “bell rang in my head[…]it’s just one in a million.” Though he considered himself a “flyspeck on the elephant’s rear end in relation to all the work and talent that other people put into this line,” he supplied “the seed from which the Masters tree grew.”

“I originated and named He-Man,” he said in 2019. “I originated the three prototype models that brought He-Man and Masters of the Universe into existence.”

The “Masters Of The Universe” toy line hit shelves in 1982, with He-Man and Skeletor leading the charge. It was followed by a DC Comics series and, most popular of all, an animated television series, created by Filmation, in 1983. But He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe‘s popularity declined sharply around the time the Dolph Lundgren-led movie hit theaters, with revenue dropping from $400 million to $7 million. Sweet diagnosed the issue as Mattel overselling the product to stores and the declining popularity of the TV show.

Sweet married Marlene in the ’80s, and even had the designers from He-Man build a plaster wedding cake, with “HE-MAN TAKES MARLENE FOR HIS BRIDE” written on the cake and a He-Man figure holding his bride as a topper. He stopped working at Mattel after more than 15 years of service. Since then, he attended numerous Comic-Con events and, according to Marlene, “always loved talking about HE-MAN and MASTERS with all the fans.”

Though the character continued to be remembered fondly and rebooted frequently, Sweet, like many creators, never saw much of the money from its success. In February 2026, shortly after the trailer for a $200 million Amazon-backed reboot was released, Sweet’s wife launched a GoFundMe to cover her husband’s dementia treatments. Unable to continue living at home, the 91-year-old was moved to a care facility, which cost over $10,000 a month and wasn’t covered by Medicare. TMZ reports that Mattel donated $5,000 to the cause, while the fundraiser went on to raise more than $93,000, shattering its $50,000 goal.

“I am having no luck in my goal to reach the producers of the forthcoming He-Man and Masters movie,” she wrote in a March 29 update. “It would be so appropriate if they would dedicate this movie to Roger as the creator of He-Man, and also to Mark Taylor, who created Skeletor.”

Roger Sweet was born in 1935, and grew up in Akron, Ohio. He graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and the Institute of Design at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Sweet served as a lead designer at Mattel throughout much of the 1970s and 1980s and worked extensively on the Masters of the Universe toy line. Before working for Mattel, Sweet held design positions with Walter Dorwin Teague Associates, an industrial design firm, and other design companies. He worked on the accounts of such companies as Boeing, Rubbermaid, Hoover, and Procter & Gamble, and on such products as the interior of the Boeing 747 jumbo jet airliner, and the Downy and Scope packages.

In 1976, Mattel's CEO Ray Wagner declined a request to produce a toyline of action figures based on the characters from the George Lucas film Star Wars. Amid the commercial success of the film trilogy and its related merchandise, Mattel attempted to launch several unsuccessful toylines, none of which captured the public's imagination or made a significant dent in the toy market. These included Kid Gallant, a medieval knight; Robin and the Space Hoods, a sci-fi figure; and the daredevil Kenny Dewitt (pronounced "Can He Do It)?"

Sweet was a lead designer for Mattel's Preliminary Design Department throughout much of the 1970s and 1980s

He was not on the list.

Richard "Doc" Sauers, who won more than 700 games while leading the University at Albany men's basketball program for more than four decades, died Monday. He was 96.

UAlbany athletic director Mark Benson confirmed Sauers' death Monday evening. A cause of death was not immediately available.

"Doc Sauers impacted generations of student-athletes, staff and members of the UAlbany community," Benson said in a statement. "He embodied what it means to be a Great Dane - committed, compassionate and deeply invested in the success and well-being of others. Doc built lasting relationships across our program and helped shape the culture of UAlbany athletics in meaningful ways. His legacy will be felt for years to come, and he will be missed tremendously."

Sauers took over the UAlbany program in 1955, when the school was still known as the New York State College for Teachers. He spent 41 seasons as the school's men's basketball coach in two stints - from 1955 to 1987, and then from 1988 to 1997 after missing one season. He posted a 702-330 overall record and Sauers' teams made 11 NCAA Division III tournament appearances, reaching the regional finals in 1977, 1980 and 1994.

The 1985 NCAA Division III Coach of the Year, Sauers was one of just 11 men's basketball coaches with at least 700 career wins at the time of his 1997 retirement.

UAlbany's best season under Sauers came in 1993-94 when the team finished 25-3 and reached the final eight of the NCAA Division III playoffs.

"‘Doc' was Albany basketball," said Jason Graber, a UAlbany Hall of Famer who starred on the 1993-94 team.

UAlbany made seven ECAC playoff appearances under Sauers, winning championships in 1978 and 1989. The Great Danes also made four NAIA tournament appearances during Sauers' tenure.

In his 41 total years running the program, Sauers only had one losing season, which came in UAlbany's first season after moving up from Division III to Division II.

"He was respected around the country," Graber said. "Playing in the SUNYAC (State University of New York Athletic Conference) for all those years, it was just the most-respected program - and he was probably one of the most-respected coaches in the country."

In addition to coaching basketball at UAlbany, Sauers also enjoyed success as the school's men's and women's golf coach, and briefly served as the UAlbany baseball coach in the late 1950s. After retiring from basketball in 1997, he coached women's golf until 2012. He oversaw that program's transition from Division II to Division I, and was selected as the America East Coach of the Year in 2010 after leading the Great Danes to the conference title.

After retiring from coaching, Sauers continued as a special assistant to the athletic director and was a regular presence on campus.

"I work out the days I come in. I work in the fitness center; the bike or the elliptical machines, or walk 10 laps around the gym," Sauers told the Times Union in 2016, when he was being honored for the 60th anniversary of his first basketball season. "That's a mile and a half. I try to keep in pretty good shape. Even when I coached, if we came back from a long trip, I would be in the gym running laps before I went home."

He was elected to the Basketball Coaches Association of New York's Hall of Fame in 1992. He's also a member of the Capital District Sports, UAlbany and Slippery Rock University halls of fame.

From 1975 to 1995, the Great Danes qualified for 10 NCAA tournaments. In 1993–94, UAlbany established a school record for victories with a 25–3 mark, and reached the Division III East Sectional final. UAlbany also qualified for the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) playoffs seven times and won a pair of championships in 1978 and 1989.

He guided the Great Danes to 20-win campaigns on 10 occasions, and his clubs reached the 17-victory plateau in 26 different seasons. He was named the 1985 NCAA Division III Coach of the Year after Albany went 22–6 and gained a national tournament berth. In 1994, he was chosen as both the East Region and New York State Coach of the Year for the third time in his career. Sauers was inducted into the New York State Basketball Hall of Fame in 1992. He has also been enshrined by Slippery Rock University and the Capital District Sports Hall of Fame.

Sauers finished his career with a 702–330 record in 41 seasons. In his final season, UAlbany went 17–10 as a member of the New England Collegiate Conference, and rebounded from his lone losing record the previous year. At the time, Sauers was one of two active coaches with more than 40-plus seasons at the same school. He became the 15th person to coach his 1,000th game at the collegiate level in February 1996.

Soon after retiring as basketball coach, Sauers became coach of the women's golf team, leading it through its transition to Division I. He'd also served as men's golf coach from 1962 to 1973 and as head baseball coach in 1958 and 1959. He retired in 2012 after spending 57 years at UAlbany.

Steve Maslow, Oscar-Winning Sound Mixer on ‘The Empire Strikes Back,’ ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ and ‘Speed,’ Dies at 81

A seven-time nominee, he started out in the music business with the Strawberry Alarm Clock before teaming with Gregg Landaker on scores of movies.

 He was not on the list.

Steve Maslow, the top-notch re-recording mixer whose seven Oscar nominations for best sound included wins for The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Speed, has died. He was 81.

Maslow died Monday at a therapy facility in West Hills after a battle with cancer, his wife, Ronna Maslow, told The Hollywood Reporter.

The Los Angeles native also landed Oscar noms for his work on Dune (1984), Waterworld (1995), Twister (1996) and U-571 (2000).

Maslow did 200-plus features during his career, teaming with fellow mixer Gregg Landaker on more than 130 of them, starting with Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979). He specialized in dialogue and music while Landaker focused on sound effects, and he shared all his Oscar noms with him with the exception of Dune.

“Maz” also collaborated with John Carpenter on Escape From New York (1981), Halloween II (1981), The Thing (1982), Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982), Christine (1983), Starman (1984) and Escape From L.A. (1996) and with Tim Burton on Beetlejuice (1988), Edward Scissorhands (1990) and Batman Returns (1992).

Maslow was born on Oct. 17, 1944. His father worked for Mattel toys and his mother was a legal secretary. After graduating from Grant High School, he hooked up as a roadie in 1969 with the Strawberry Alarm Clock, setting up the sound for the psychedelic rock band that had a big hit with “Incense and Peppermint.”

“That opened up the whole music industry for me,” he said in 2017, and as a recording engineer, he served as a mixer on songs including “Oh What a Night (December 1963)” from Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and “Boogie Oogie Oogie” from A Taste of Honey.

With the rise of garage bands and the music industry relying less on studios, Maslow looked around for an opportunity to become a film mixer.

He segued into the movie business and worked on four films released in 1978, including the documentary The Last Waltz, and other music films followed, including Hair (1979), The Kids Are Alright (1979), Rust Never Sleeps (1979) and Stop Making Sense (1984).

Before he knew it, Maslow was working with producer George Lucas on More American Graffiti (1979), The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and picking up Oscars in consecutive years.

Maslow’s impressive film résumé also included The Wanderers (1979), 10 (1979), Ordinary People (1980), The Postman Always Rings Twice (1981), Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid (1982), My Favorite Year (1982), The Dead Zone (1983), St. Elmo’s Fire (1985), Teen Wolf (1985), Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986), Children of a Lesser God (1986), Angel Heart (1987), Broadcast News (1987), The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988), Pet Sematary (1989), Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995), Patch Adams (1998), Bruce Almighty (2003), The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005), X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), Rocky Balboa (2006), The Town (2010), The Great Gatsby (2013), The Conjuring (2013), Non-Stop (2014) and Mad Max: Fury Road (2015). There are too many movies to mention.

In addition to his wife, survivors include his son, Travis, and a granddaughter.

“We lost one of the best of the best, and so many who loved him are heartbroken today,” 16-time Oscar-nominated sound mixer Greg P. Russell wrote on Instagram. “We’ll miss you buddy, and thanks for all the memories. Anytime he ever walked onto a stage I was mixing on, he’d walk over to me and lean on my shoulder and say, ‘You’re not gonna leave it like that, are ya????’ Loved to laugh with him.”
