The daily rosary was an important part of their life as was Sunday Mass celebrated as a family. In retirement they attended daily Mass. Rose taught herself to cook after she was married and her baking and cooking skills were outstanding. The memory of her Christmas baking; a numerous variety of cookies and candy, home-made cinnamon rolls, banana bread and cinnamon bread, is one of her precious gifts to her family.

A Burnsville man is accused of making a false bomb threat that caused the evacuation of an Amtrak train in a Montana blizzard Feb. 14. Authorities say that the threat by an intoxicated Hussein Abdi Hassan, 24, forced some 140 passengers – including two infants and six elderly people – outside into blowing snow whipped by 90 mph winds. Hassan was charged in Glacier County, Mont., with two counts of felony criminal endangerment and one count of disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor. He has pleaded not guilty and remained in jail Wednesday in lieu of $100,000 bail. According to a court affidavit, a Glacier County sheriff’s deputy responded to a call at around 8 p.m. that help was needed to remove an intoxicated passenger. The responding deputy reported that the man, later identified as Hassan, smelled strongly of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes and was unsteady on his feet.
While being taken from the train, Hassan “began to holler� and complained that he’d paid to get to Seattle, Wash. The complaints continued as the deputy drove him to the sheriff’s office. When the deputy told Hassan he didn’t have a bag when he left the train, Hassan said: “Damn fools, all of you,� laughing, before speaking in a language the deputy didn’t understand. Speaking again in English, he told the deputy, “No one will survive on that train.� Hassan laughed and went on to indicate that his bag had a bomb in it, the affidavit said. Amtrak was notified and stopped the train in a field. The sheriff’s office arranged for passengers to be taken by bus to a local school. The bomb squad from Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls found no explosives on the train. After staying overnight at the school, passengers were returned to the train at around 5 a.m. — John Gessner
