AMCAD named for integrated justice project AMCAD, a leading provider of software solutions to the broader government system including courts, jails, prosecutors, probation, county clerks, recorders offices, and other government offices, announced the Shelby County Ohio Court of Common Pleas, General, Domestic Relations, Probate and Juvenile Divisions, Clerk of Court, the Shelby County Prosecutor, and

the Sidney Municipal Court selected AMCADâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s integrated justice platform as the sole solution for their county-wide integrated court case management system. Once fully implemented, AMCADâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solutions will provide increased efficiency and effectiveness to Shelby County citizens.

After a competitive and comprehensive process managed by the Ohio Courts of

Shelby County and the City of Sidney that was focused on selecting an integrated case management solution, the county and city together selected the AMCAD Justice Platform due to its premium technology, fully integrated suite of products and dedicated customer support.

In October, AMCAD entered into an agreement with the City of Sidney and Shelby County

to implement the AMCAD integrated Case Management System (AiCMS); the AMCAD integrated Capture System; AMCADâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business intelligence solution, ROAM; ACCEPT, AMCADâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electronic commerce solution; and AMCADâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eUniversa electronic filing solution.

City pool admission prices may increase Michael Seffrin mseffrin@civitasmedia.com

Admission prices at the Sidney Municipal Swimming Pool may increase for 2014.

Sidney City Council heard a city staff proposal Monday night to raise prices, to adjust hours to allow families to use the pool after

work hours, and to offer adult lap swimming.

Council will consider approving the changes at its Nov. 11 meeting.

Parks and Recreation Director Duane Gaier told council that the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five-year plan and the 2014 budget call for a 5 percent increase in pool rates annu-

ally. Prices were not increased in 2013 in an effort to boost attendance. But attendance actually fell this past summer. The weather was a big factor, said Gaier, who pointed out that other pools in the region also reported lower usage.

Daily pass atten-

dance dropped 25 percent this summer, going from 13,302 in 2012 to 9,909 this year, according to figures in Gaierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report. Season pass sales have declined every year since 2010.

To attract more business, Gaier recommended changing hours of operation from the cur-

rent 1 to 7 p.m. to 1:30 to 7:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and to allow lap swimming from 6:30 to 7:30 at the south end of the large pool for people age 13 and older.

The rest of the pools would remain open for family swimming.

Change smoke detector batteries For 26 years, in partnership with the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC), Energizer has reminded families to “Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery.”

The program urges all Americans to adopt a simple, lifesaving habit: changing and testing the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when they change their clocks back from daylightsaving time each fall, this year on Sunday.

The Sidney Department of Fire & Emergency Services reminds residents that one easy step can help save their lives and the lives of those around them.

Everyone is encouraged to use the extra hour they “gain” from daylight-saving time to review their home fire safety plans, change the batteries in their own smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, test the alarms, and remind friends, family, neighbors, and fellow community members to do the same.

“Hundreds of fatalities occur every year when individuals neglect to ensure their smoke alarms have fresh batteries,” said Deputy Chief Ron Wolfe.

“The habit of changing batteries during this campaign is a simple step that can help save the lives of so

many families each year.”

The IAFC reports that while 96 percent of American homes have at least one smoke alarm, 19 percent of those alarms are not working, mostly due to missing or dead batteries.

On average, home fires kill 540 children, age 14 and under, each year.

A working smoke alarm can provide crucial extra seconds to escape a burning home. Two-thirds of home fire deaths result from fires in homes without working smoke alarms. By encouraging the “Change your Clock, Change Your Battery” program, it is hoped more families adopt this simple habit to help them stay safe.

The peak time for home fire fatalities is between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most families are sleeping.

Smoke alarm maintenance is a simple, effective way to reduce home fire deaths.

Children and senior citizens are most at risk, and a working alarm can give them the extra seconds they need to get out safely, fire officials said.

A working smoke detector doubles your chance of surviving a home fire.

Families should also prepare a fire safety kit that includes working flashlights and fresh batteries.

Pool From page 1 Hours Friday and Saturday would be 1 to 7 p.m., with no lap swimming, and pool rentals would be available those days from 7 to 9. On Sunday, hours would be 1 to 6:30 p.m., with no lap swimming, and pools rentals 6:30 to 8:30. None of these changes would result in fewer hours of operation for the pool.

Proposed new daily admission prices (with 2013 rates in parentheses) are preschool, $2 ($2); student, $4 ($3.25); adult, $4 ($3.75); and senior adult, $3 ($2.75).

For season passes, the new prices would be student, $48 ($46); adult, $70 ($66); family (up to four people), $115 ($110); additional cost for up to two people, $12 ($11.50); senior adult, $48 ($45).

To promote sales of season passes, the city will offer them at a 5 percent discount from the Christmas shopping season to May 30.

Councilwoman Katie McMillan said that in light of utility rate increases the city must impose in connection with mandated wastewater treatment improvements, “my personal opinion is we should not raise the (pool) rates.”

McMillan, who is council’s representative on the Recreation Board, also relayed some board member comments on proposed changes at the pool. Members said the adult lap time is “a great idea” and that the $4 daily admission price represents “cheap entertainment” for a whole afternoon.

From page 1 Authority, Regional Planning Commission and the WORTH Center in Lima. He currently is advancement chairman and troop leader in Boy Scout Troop 97. In the past, he served a full term on City Council and was appointed to fill an unexpired six-month term of a resigning councilman.

He is married with two adult children and two grandsons. He and his wife, Susie, reside at 2129 Broadway Ave. All of Sidney’s four wards are on the ballot Tuesday, but the 2nd Ward is the only one where there is competition for City Council.

The candidates have responded to questions about various issues facing the city.

1. Why are you seeking a Sidney City Council seat? What do you feel you can contribute? What experience and qualities will you bring to council?

Craynon: I believe I am the best qualified candidate to represent the 2nd Ward. I am running for City Council because I am concerned about several things, including: many of our city streets deteriorating, too many buildings being abandoned and left for the city to demolish, and residents having to pay extremely high utility rates.

I have previously served on council and understand the relationship between the city staff, council and the taxpayers of Sidney. If elected, I will listen to all sides of any issue, ask for alternatives, if appropriate, and make a decision based on the best interests of my fellow citizens.

McMillan: I am seeking another term as City Council representative for the 2nd Ward because I enjoy being involved in my neighborhood and community. It has been an honor serving on council for the last five years. I also play a big part in the “Community Cares Team” for my employer. Council has a number of projects in the works that I would like to see completed, including the OEPA mandates with respect to the sewer plant improvements, a water source for the future, and the airport project, which has been ongoing for over 35 years. When you don’t have longevity on council, projects can be on the books for many years.

2. What are the most pressing issues facing Sidney and how would you address them?

McMillan: Sidney, like most communities, faces challenges of revenue, street repair and updating outdated infrastructure. Council recently approved a new five-year plan that addresses the needs of our community.

Objectives of the plan are to preserve the current level of services while addressing the growth of the community. The plan assumes a slow economic recovery, includes conservative projections of revenues and expenditures, achieves all of the minimum cash-fund balance reserves, and anticipates vacant positions will remain such. City staff has done a tremendous job of staying on track with the plan in the past and I’m confident they will continue in the future. We as individuals must also be part of the solution by promoting a healthy family unit, being an extension of our education system at home, and putting action to a genuine concern for each other.

Craynon: The most pressing issue facing our city is to continue to provide adequate services to our residents without placing an undue financial hardship on them.

The staff needs to work closely with our city employees who have the insight and experience and can be helpful in finding ways to cut costs and streamline city services.

3. With the reduction in state funding and other decreases or elimination in munici-

pal income sources, what actions should council undertake to promote revenues of sufficient amounts to meet the needs of the residents of Sidney?

Craynon: With federal and state funding diminishing, we must find new sources of revenue to finance upcoming infrastructure projects such as roads and water and sewer lines. Our city staff and council must work together to obtain any available grants and continue to put pressure on the state to release funds to assist local governments.

McMillan: The city provides police and fire services, utilities, trash pickup, and public transportation while maintaining the roads, senior center, cemetery, airport, parks and swimming pool. Stategenerated shared revenues have been cut.

Local Government Fund (LGF) distributions have been cut by 50 percent, estate taxes, gasoline tax receipts and motor vehicle license tax receipts have all declined. State and federal government really put a crimp in local communities. With that said, council has maintained good stewardship over public funds. One way we can increase revenue is to watch spending.

Budget cuts have been ongoing since 2007 and 55 vacant positions have not been filled (27 seasonal and 28 full time) since 2008. Council approves a tight budget every year and I am proud of our city staff as they do more with less.

4. What role should council take in connection with economic development opportunities that are presented to the city?

McMillan: The city works closely with and provides substantial funding to the West Ohio Development Council to make known financial and employment incentives available under Ohio law. The Zoning Board, Planning Commission and council also guide the city’s development according to Imagine Sidney 2020. Council works hard to keep utility and service fees low to attract new businesses.

We stay in touch with our local companies to assist them with maintaining and/or expanding their businesses. In addition, we continue to eagerly listen to proposals that are made directly to us to see if there are ways we can assist developers.

Craynon: Council and the city manager work closely with the Chamber of Commerce and the West Ohio Development Corporation to locate new businesses and factories in Sidney. We must assist these businesses any way we can and offer tax incentives for those that decide to locate in our town. The city should also work with local Realtors and the Sidney Schools to provide assistance in locating personnel associated with the new business 5. What is your position on an income tax increase or a property tax levy for a specific purpose, such as streets, fire/police, parks? Also, what is your position on use of property tax assessments to finance street repair and water/sewer line replacements?

Craynon: I am against any income tax increase and/or increased property tax levies/assessments to fund the aforementioned specific projects. I feel the taxpayers in Sidney are paying more than their fair share and any increases are unwarranted at this time. We have many retired homeowners whose sole source of income is Social Security and any tax increases would impose an undue hardship on these households.

Before voting to increase taxes, rates or assessments, I would have to be 100 percent convinced that without such an increase, the city and our residents would

suffer and there are no other viable alternatives.

Any proposed increases of income or property taxes should be placed on the ballot for the voters to decide.

McMillan: A typical road reconstruction cycle should run every 20-25 years and resurfacing every 15-20 years. Our current budget allows for about 2-2.5 miles of road repair per year, depending on the width of the road, asphalt prices and the street damage caused throughout the winter.

The voters did not support the quarter percent income tax increase for street repairs two years ago. As a result, we’re patching the streets in hopes that the economy recovers and we can do more. Council continues to watch spending in order to increase revenue for capital improvements.

6. The city is pursuing the creation of an alternative water source. What is your position regarding acquisition of property by eminent domain in connection with this?

McMillan: The new water source project has been an active project since 2006. This new underground source is critical to the continued operation of city services.

It provides a consistent source of clean water for our future. Eminent domain is a last resort.

Council and city staff work hard to collaborate with our neighbors to ensure the best solution for all parties is achieved.

Craynon: The city can legally acquire property by eminent domain under certain conditions but I would hope that the needed property can be obtained by the city making a fair offer to the landowners. Otherwise, if the matter is litigated in court, there will be extra time and expenses involved.

7. What should the city be doing to minimize the size of the rate increases needed to finance the EPAmandated improvements to the wastewater treatment plant and collection system project?

Craynon: The current additional monthly fee of nearly $22 on each single-family residence was not fairly imposed. For example: Port Jefferson residents, who are users of our sewer system, did not receive an increase.

Certain industries which are heavy users of our sewer system did not receive an increase. I believe the city needs to look at the overall usage and redistribute these fees appropriately.

McMillan: I believe the city is being financially responsible as we work through this unfunded mandate. Ohio EPA has interpreted the Clean Water Act through new regulations on ammonia, E. coli and wetweather bypass limits.

Communities now must improve the wastewater treatment and collection systems within a designated timeline. Sidney has carefully scheduled the improvements and corresponding user fees and rate increases over the life of the project, and council has done everything we can to keep rates as low as possible.

We continue to work with Ohio EPA and hope that they will reinterpret the rules they have to enforce.

8. What should the city do to improve the community’s image regarding property maintenance standards, vacant/abandoned properties, and street, sidewalk, curb and gutter repairs?

McMillan: Council continues to review and tighten ordinances regarding property maintenance while keeping personal property rights in the forefront. For every person out there that wants tighter restrictions there is another who is adamantly opposed to them.

Craynon: We have building codes in place

which could be enforced more vigorously. An ordinance should be created whereby the owners of abandoned properties would be cited into Municipal Court for health or safety violations. If the absentee owner is served notice to appear and does not show, the court could find the owner in contempt and issue a warrant. Once the warrant is issued, the owner should not be allowed to make any property transactions or obtain any type of license in Ohio until brought before the court.

Unfortunately, many of the abandoned buildings are owned by out-of-state residents, but this would prevent them from again becoming landowners in Ohio until the matter is resolved in Sidney.

9. Concerning public safety, does the city need a third fire station and fully staffed police and fire departments?

How would the city pay for these improvements?

Craynon: I am aware that for several years, the city has discussed placing a fire station in the north end of Sidney.

Because of the high costs of building the station and the additional equipment and personnel needed to staff this facility, this has been placed on the back burner. Both the police and fire departments have experienced a shortage of personnel in recent years because of budget cuts and in spite of this, they have been able to perform their duties admirably. The city needs to continue funding both of these departments with adequate staff and personnel until we are on solid financial footing and can build another station.

McMillan: Yes and no. A third fire station would greatly improve the response time for our citizens on the north side of Sidney. Under current financial restraints, the only way for us to move on this project would be to increase taxes. To build the station would cost $1 million and annual operating costs would be another $1 million.

A levy may be the only way for that to happen under the current economic circumstances.

Citizens of Sidney have to decide what we want.

I am extremely proud of our fire and police teams who continue to provide first-class services in response to every call. All departments are doing more with less as we work through an unclear economic outlook.

10. Council is considering the closure of Wilkinson Avenue at its southern intersection with Ohio 47 due to concerns about traffic safety. What is your position on this?

McMillan: Council learned Monday night that the line-of-site distance for the Wilkinson Ave intersection at a design speed of 45 mph is 500 feet. Cars traveling south on Wilkinson entering onto State Route 47 have a 173-foot sight distance of cars traveling west. This is a safety concern, primarily if the driver intends to turn east onto State Route. Council also learned that making the Wilkinson egress a right turn only could increase the liability on the city due to intentionally implementing a trafficflow pattern that contradicts established design standards. Nevertheless, businesses and residents have voiced their opposing viewpoints on the closure of the intersection stating. I am in favor of keeping the intersection open with possible additional signage to improve safety; i.e. no left turn from Wilkinson, hidden intersection, caution.

Craynon: The simple solution would be that anyone exiting Wilkinson Avenue onto Ohio 47 should be required to make a right turn only.

This would eliminate the need for drivers to cross through the median to make a left turn.

Town creates early Christmas for ailing boy PORT CLINTON (AP) — A northern Ohio community is decking the halls to provide an early Christmas for an ailing boy with cancer who said he wanted to be home for the holiday.

As some towns readied for Halloween trick-or-treaters, the Christmas cheer was in high gear in Port Clinton on Wednesday despite 60-degree weather. Dozens of supporters gathered near 13-year-old Devin Kohlman’s apartment as several tons of shaved ice was used to mimic drifting

Former band director on trial BELLEFONTAINE — A victim’s mother was scheduled to be the first to testify in the trial of John “Tim” Shook, 816 S. County Road 24, DeGraff, taking place in Logan County Common Pleas Court this week.

The former Riverside High School band director is on trial for six counts of sexual battery, two counts of attempted sexual battery and five counts of gross sexual imposition. Shook is accused

of molesting three students at the school over a two-year period.

A jury of nine women and three men was seated Tuesday. After lunch, the jury took a bus trip to Shook’s residence then to the Riverside school building.

Following the trip, Chief Assistant Prosecutor Eric Stewart opened the case against Shook, and testimony began Wednesday.

According to the report obtained from the Sheriff’s Office, an elderly resident reported there was a small, black animal behind the television in her living room. She reported it had been there for about a month and wouldn’t come out.

The deputy noted there was a calm adult cat in the living room.

It is presumed no bear was at any time actually on the premises.

He is also the first recipient of the association’s Carpe Diem award, the highest recognition a staff member can receive.

Jerry McClannan, chief volunteer officer of the YMCA of Darke County, recently announced that the Y had been engaged in a nationwide search for a new CEO. The CEO Transition Committee completed its work and made its recommendation to the board of directors.

“We are delighted with the selection of Sam as our next CEO,” said McClannan. “The selection committee was impressed with his leadership and his depth and breadth of experience. His passion for the mission is contagious. He is committed to the development of community, and we are pleased to have him as our new CEO.” Casalano said he looks for-

The future is not found but made. In collaboration with our staff, volunteers, supporters and members of this community, I believe the best is yet to come.”

That kind of attitude is what has endeared Casalano to his coworkers in Sidney.

“For what he has done for our Y and for what he is yet to do at the YMCA of Darke County, we can only humbly say thanks for the kind of person he is and for having shared a good part of his life with the rest of us,” Thomas said. “Our prayers, gratitude, and our very best wishes go with him!”

Today is Thursday, Oct. 31, the 304th day of 2013.

There are 61 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on the door of the Wittenberg Palace church, marking the start of the Protestant Reformation in Germany.

On this date: In 1795, English poet John Keats was born in London.

In 1864, Nevada became the 36th state.

In 1926, magician Harry Houdini died in Detroit of gangrene and peritonitis resulting from a ruptured appendix.

In 1938, the day after his “War of the Worlds” broadcast had panicked radio listeners, Orson Welles expressed “deep regret” but also bewilderment that anyone had thought the simulated Martian invasion was real.

In 1941, the Navy destroyer USS Reuben James was torpedoed by a German U-boat off Iceland with the loss of some 100 lives, even though the United States had not yet entered World War II. Work was completed on the Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota, begun in 1927.

Iraq seeks U.S. aid after troop withdrawl LARA JAKES

AP National Security Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly two years after pushing out the U.S. military, Iraq is asking for more American weapons, training and manpower to help fight a bloody resurgence of al-Qaida that has unleashed a level of violence comparable to the darkest days of the nation’s civil war.

The request will be dis-

cussed during a White House meeting Friday between Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and President Barack Obama in what Baghdad hopes will be a fresh start in a complicated relationship that has been marked by victories and frustrations for each side.

“We know we have major challenges of our own capabilities being up to the standard.

They currently are not,”

Lukman Faily, the Iraqi ambassador to the U.S., said in an interview with The Associated Press.

“We need to gear up, to deal with that threat more seriously. We need support and we need help.”

He added: “We have said to the Americans we’d be more than happy to discuss all the options short of boots on the ground.”

“Boots on the ground”

means military forces.

The U.S. withdrew all but a few hundred of its troops from Iraq in December 2011 after Baghdad refused to renew a security agreement to extend legal immunity for Americans forces that would have let more stay.

At the time, the withdrawal was hailed as a victory for the Obama administration, which campaigned on ending

the Iraq war and had little appetite for pushing Baghdad into a new security agreement. But within months, violence began creeping up in the capital and across the country as Sunni Muslim insurgents lashed out at Shiites, angered by a widespread belief that Sunnis have been sidelined by the Shiite-led government, and with no U.S. troops to keep them in check.

Health website has security issues LAURIE KELLMAN and RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama claimed “full responsibility” Wednesday for fixing his administration’s much-maligned health insurance website as a new concern surfaced: a government memo pointing to security worries, laid out just days before the launch.

On Capitol Hill, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius apologized to frustrated people trying to sign up, declaring that she is accountable for the failures but also defending the historic health care overhaul. The website sign-up problems will be fixed by Nov. 30,

she said, and the gaining of health insurance will make a positive difference in the lives of millions of Americans.

Obama underscored the administration’s unhappiness with the problems so far: “There’s no excuse for it,” he said during a Boston speech to promote his signature domestic policy achievement. “And I take full responsibility for making sure it gets fixed ASAP.” The website HealthCare.gov was still experiencing outages as Sebelius faced a new range of questions at the House Energy and Commerce Committee about a security memo from her department. It revealed that the troubled website was granted a temporary security certificate on Sept. 27,

just four days before it went live on Oct. 1.

The memo, obtained by The Associated Press, said incomplete testing created uncertainties that posed a potentially high security risk for the website. It called for a six-month “mitigation” program, including ongoing monitoring and testing.

Security issues raise major new concerns on top of the long list of technical problems the administration is grappling with.

“You accepted a risk on behalf of every user … that put their personal financial information at risk,” Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., told Sebelius, citing the memo.

“Amazon would never do this.

ProFlowers would never do this.

Kayak would never do this. This

is completely an unacceptable level of security.”

Sebelius countered that the system is secure, even though the site’s certificate, known in government parlance as an “authority to operate,” is of a temporary nature.

A permanent certificate will be issued only when all security issues are addressed, she stressed.

Spokeswoman Joanne Peters added separately: “When consumers fill out their online … applications, they can trust that the information they’re providing is protected by stringent security standards and that the technology underlying the application process has been tested and is secure.

Security testing happens on an ongoing basis using industry best practices.”

Israel plans more than 1,500 new settlement homes JOSEF FEDERMAN Associated Press

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel announced plans Wednesday to build more than 1,500 homes in Jewish settlements in east Jerusalem and the West Bank, dealing a setback to newly relaunched peace efforts hours after it had freed a group of long-serving Palestinian prisoners.

The construction plans drew angry condemna-

tions from Palestinian officials, who accused Israel of undermining the U.S.-led talks by expanding settlements on the lands where they hope to establish an independent state. U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon also condemned the Israeli decision, and Washington said it would not create a “positive environment” for the negotiations.

Israel had freed the 26 Palestinian prisoners as

part of a U.S.-brokered agreement to restart the talks. The construction was meant to blunt anger over the release of the prisoners, all of whom had been convicted of murder in the deaths of Israelis.

Israel’s Interior Ministry said 1,500 apartments would be built in Ramat Shlomo, a large settlement in east Jerusalem, the section of the holy city claimed by

the Palestinians as their capital. It also announced plans for archaeology and tourism projects near the Old City, home to Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy sites.

Israel first announced the Ramat Shlomo plan in 2010 during a visit to Israel by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, sparking a diplomatic rift with Washington that took months to mend.

Wednesday’s decision is

the final approval needed, and construction can begin immediately, officials said.

Ofir Akunis, a lawmaker from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party, said construction also had been approved for several West Bank settlements.

Taking care of business

Point of YOU!

BY: JOHN HUSA With tournament underway and another successful regular season by the Lehman volleyball team, the girls look to make a another run for state, following in the tradition of Lehman’s three state championships in 2000, 2005, and 2010.

This year the team is led by the two veteran seniors Erica Paulus and Ellie Cain.

The juniors are Olivia Slagle, Ellie Sargent, Ava Schmitz, and Margo Baker. Sophomores are Madeline Smith, Michelle Duritsch, Marianne Hissong, and Adrianna Sehlhorst. Freshmen are Sidney Chapman and Camille Odle.

The Cavaliers had a slow start to the season, but since then they have kept things rolling and are dominating the competition. In their first year in the Northwest Central Conference (NWCC), they went a perfect 6-0 and won the conference title. The Cavaliers finished the regular season at 14-8.

Junior Ellie Sargent said, “I am very excited to make another run in the tournament. We know we can go far, and are going to give it our all.”

Senior Erica Paulus said, “My favorite part of the season has been how close all of us on the team are.”

Young but talented, the Cavaliers have proved they are growing up this season and will not be stopped. The Cavaliers have a great history of doing well in the postseason, and we wish them the best of luck. So come out and support the Lady Cavaliers as they take care of business, one game at a time.

BY: GRACE FRANTZ What is your point of view?

What has your year been like?

How has Lehman impacted you? The Lehman Catholic Cavalcade Staff wants to be sure your voice is heard and your story is told. That is why we have chosen the 20132014 Yearbook theme to be “Point of YOU.” With this theme people will have the opportunity to voice their fond memories and what they enjoyed this school year.

Whether it is scoring the game winning goal in a soccer game, going to the state science fair, or an embarrassing moment you wish to never forget, we want to know!

The Cavalcade Staff is really enthusiastic about the 2013- 2014 yearbook. We have been brainstorming for weeks and have come up with some neat and different ideas to incorporate everyone’s story, in a way that we believe Lehman has never seen. Senior Journalism student Madilyn Brown said, “I am really excited to put all of the ideas we have been working so hard on into action. Being a part of the yearbook staff, The Calvacade, is always the best part of being in Journalism class. Each of us get to bring out our creativity and it is so much fun to see the final product that we create for our school. ” The Yearbook staff is incredibly excited to get started on the yearbook and we hope you will be excited too!

Halloween, a Lehman Tradition BY: LAUREN VANDERHORST The Celtic people started with a festival, Pope Gregory III made a feast day, countries made a tradition, and Lehman turned Halloween into a way to help change lives.

Halloween was not always called “Halloween.” It started out as the festival of Samhain. The Celtic people thought October 31 was a time that the dead would come and destroy crops so they would dress up, make bonfires, carve pumpkins, and all sorts of different things in hopes of scaring away the ghosts.

This day eventually became known as All Hallows’ Eve, which inspired Pope Gregory III to name November 1 the feast day of All Saints, the day after All Hallows’ Eve. All Saints Day was created to remember and honor all the saints and martyrs.

Over time, countries started making it a tradition that on All Hallows’ Eve (Halloween), children would dress up in costumes, go trick-or-treating, make jack o lanterns, watch scary movies, and listen to frightening stories. In the United States almost 90 percent of children participate in this annual event. Dressing up in costumes is not just for little kids; the students at Lehman participate in this ongoing tradition too!

Students at Lehman not only dress up for fun, but they dress up for a cause. Every student that dresses up on Halloween donates $3 to Multiple Sclerosis research. This tradition was started by the Student Council in 2005 with guidance from Terry Sheffield, the Student Council advisor at Lehman at the time. The Student Council wanted to have a fun way to raise money and it has become just that. Students every year participate in this tradition and have gone far and beyond the norm when it comes to costumes.

If one happened to be walking around Lehman on the Halloween dress up day, one would find all sorts of creative costumes. There are traditional costumes like superheroes, villains, and animals, but Lehman students like to mix it up by dressing up as teachers, the shark and the man being eaten by the shark from the movie Jaws, Lego people, Sesame Street characters, and so much more.

The creativity never stops here at Lehman and certainly not on Halloween. All the students have loads of fun with seeing who is dressed as whom and taking pictures. All also remember the reason behind the dress-up event and that is to help those with Multiple Sclerosis.

‘Finding our wings’: Jesus is coming again!

At God’s appointed time, the risen and ascended Son of God, Jesus Christ, will return to the earth. Those who love him and have a relationship with him will rejoice, while his enemies will be filled with fear.

Jesus gave this revelation of himself to the Apostle John nearly 2,000 years ago, and it stands as both a comfort and a challenge to God’s people today.

Tony Campolo (“Let Me Tell You a Story”) wrote the following illustration years ago, “Finding Their Wings”: “Every Sunday, the ducks in a certain town waddle

pied with “things” which take up our everyday lives, leaving little or no time for a “Spirit”-filled, loving relationship with God. God’s words are true: “The word of the Lord is right; and all his works are alone in truth. The counsel of the Lord standeth forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations” (Psalm 33:4, 11).

All of God’s words are true and trustworthy.

Unlike humanity, God does not lie, change his words, or leave his promises unfulfilled. The Bible contains the words of a holy, trustworthy, and

unchangeable God. Jesus said unto those who believed in him, “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed.” The Bible teaches us that when you receive Jesus Christ as Savior, the Spirit of God comes in and gives you new life. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).

Is the holy spirit living in you?: Only those who have received Jesus Christ have the Holy Spirit living in them. And only the Holy Spirit can

produce the fruit of love, joy, and peace in an individual. The Bible says you must confess your sins and receive Jesus Christ by faith as your Lord and Savior. When you do so, you begin a relationship with God, and he promises that you will be forgiven and receive eternal life.

Are you ready?: “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31).

The writer is the pastor of New Life Church in Port Jefferson.

Program topic: How to Survive Archdiocese mulls in the Sandwich Generation background checks VERSAILLES — St. Denis and Holy Family parishes in collaboration with Catholic Social Services will hosting their third offering in the 2013 “Parish Café” series on Nov. 13.

The programs are designed to provide information and professional support to those who wish to bring faith and values into the everyday life of their family.

This speaker series is open to the general public without cost.

Programs will be held at St. Denis Catholic Church basement, 14 E. Wood St., on the second Wednesday of each month, unless otherwise noted.

The program topic,

“How to Survive in the Sandwich Generation,” will be held Nov. 13 from 6 to 7 p.m. Guest speakers for the presentation will include staff members from Catholic Social Services of the Miami Valley. Sarah Hensley, care manager for CSSMV Senior Services, and Kim Custenborder, development coordinator for CSSMV, will discuss community services available for seniors.

Recommendations on how and when to access needed services for seniors will be discussed. Presenters will also provide helpful insights on how to encourage aging parents to accept the help that they need and dis-

cuss how to balance the demands of raising children, working and caring for an aging parent.

“It is hard to balance family, work and caregiving,” Hensley said.

“We hope to address concerns that family members have on how to find time for their children, their loved ones, their relationships and most importantly themselves.”

For more information about the Parish Café programs, contact Jane Pierron of St. Denis and Holy Family at 937-5264945 or visit Facebook pages of St. Denis or Holy Family Catholic Parishes or Catholic Social Services for updated information.

CINCINNATI — The Archdiocese of Cincinnati has contracted with a criminal background check company to screen all its clerics, employees, and volunteers in order to provide the safest possible environment for the children under its care.

Currently, criminal background checks are conducted by Archdiocesan employees. Effective early next year, SELECTiON. COM, a national, Catholic faith-based background check company located in the Cincinnati area, will begin providing all background check services for the Archdiocese, said Tom Coz, the safe environment coordinator for children and youth.

“While child safety was the primary concern in

reviewing our current processes,” Coz said, “we were also able to identify a solution that will be less expensive to our volunteers and our parishes, and less invasive to our volunteers, while at the same time allowing for a more streamlined process for parishes and staff to submit to and view background check results.”

Since January 2013, SELECTiON.COM has been performing background checks for the archdiocese using its proprietary criminal database called Search America Plus, in order to compare results with the archdiocese’s current Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation and FBI fingerprinting program.

Coz said the benefits of

the new process include: • Volunteers can execute their applications from home without having to drive anywhere to present themselves to a fingerprint station.

• The cost of an electronic database background check for persons who want to volunteer to work with children in the archdiocese ($25) will be less than in the previous process ($28 for a BCII check plus $30 for an FBI check for a total of $58).

• SELECTiON.COM’s operating system, Fastrax, and the VIRTUS online child protection program will work together, thereby streamlining the process because it will only be necessary to register once for both programs.

Is there any treatment for this? What kind of doctor would I see? How long would you expect this to last? —T.S. ANSWER: You have the classic symptoms of disembarkment syndrome, also called mal de debarquement. Whereas most people getting off a boat or ship will have the sensation of moving for a few hours, in people with this syndrome, the symptoms may continue for months or even years.

It seems to be more likely in women, and may have an association with migraine headache.

Interestingly, going back on a boat can make it better in the short term, but worse later.

One treatment is clonazepam, which provides some short-term relief. Standard treatments for vertigo usually do not help. Fortunately, most cases do get better after some weeks or months, but 18 percent still have symptoms even a year later. An expert in balance problems, often an ENT doctor, would be most likely to be familiar with this condition.

The booklet on vertigo explains dizziness in detail and outlines its treatment.

Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Roach — No. 801, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

100 years Oct. 31, 1913 Many hogs between McCartyville and Minster have died with cholera within the past six weeks.

Although some of the hogs that have apparently contacted the disease do recover, most of them die.

Some which are apparently well in the evening are found dead in the morning. John Dieters reports that he lost 54 hogs with the disease, while less than a dozen recovered. There appears to be no remedy to check the disease.

––––– Be ready for a little surprise when you enter the polling place on election dayespecially if you happen to be a mere man.

Instead of one, two or three ballots you may now expect to receive from the election officers, you will be tendered a half-dozen.

––––– Dr. Hugh Beebe was elected president of the Miami Valley Homeopathic Society at their meeting held in Dayton. This is quite an honor for one so young as Dr. Beebe.

75 years Oct. 31, 1938 An overturned lantern, setting fire to hay and straw on the floor, resulted in the complete destruction of the large barn on the Issac Troast farm, located about a half-mile north of the Midway filling station, early last evening. Mr. Troast accidently kicked over the lantern while he was doing his chores and in a few moments the flames and spread rapidly through the building.

––––– Classes at Perry High school in Pemberton have elected their officers for the coming year, with the senior class, naming Gene Burchett, president, Charles Borland, vice president, and Miss Mary Bodemiller, secretarytreasurer.

––––– Five special elections will be held in Shelby County at the annual vote. St. Patrick’s Rural school district and Perry Rural school district are both asking for

two extra mills for operating expenses.

The former to run for three years and the latter for two years .

Russia school district is asking approval of two extra mills for a period of five years for operating, while Green township schools are seeking three mills for three years. A local election is to be held in Turtle Creek township.

50 years Oct. 31, 1963 Three Sidney teachers are in Cincinnati through November 2 participating in the 12th annual conference on the improvement of instruction.

The conference is sponsored by the Ohio Education Association. Present from Sidney are Cynthia McRill, fourth grade teacher at Central Elementary, Neil Hennon, science teacher at Sidney High School and Webster Geib, principal of Parkwood Junior High School.

––––– Nearly an inch of rain swept over Shelby County late Thursday gave farmers hope of saving their 1964 wheat crop, relieved the threat of grass fires and may have helped pasture conditions. The gauge at the Sidney Daily News measured .93 of an inch of rain.

25 years Oct. 31, 1988 D AV E N P O R T, Iowa — Frontiersman William F. Cody, known as Buffalo Bill was born in 1846. After making trips West with wagon trains and riding for the Pony Express, he served as a Union scout during the Civil War, Cody’s nickname came from shooting 4,000 buffalo in 18 months to supply meat for railroad workmen in Kansas. In 1872, Buffalo Bill Cody became a showman, appearing in Wild West shows and circus performances which featured his amazing shooting skill. Cody died in 1917 and is buried on Lookout Mountain, near Golden, Col.

Odds and Ends SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) — One of two oarfish found in Southern California waters earlier this month had a host of parasites living in its giant, serpent-like body.

Scientists from the University of California, Santa Barbara last week dissected the 18-foot oarfish found off Catalina Island and found large, larval tapeworms in its intestine. An adult spinyheaded worm also was found embedded in the intestine.

Scientists say the discovery of the parasites is important because it tells them what the natural enemies of the oarfish are and could indicate where the elusive fish lives or hunts for food.

A snorkeler found the carcass of the oarfish Oct. 13. Several days later, another oarfish washed ashore in Oceanside.

It’s not known how either died.

The rarely seen deep sea-dwelling creatures can grow to more than 50 feet.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Friday, Nov. 1, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You want to clean up messy details and misunderstandings regarding banking, debt, taxes, inheritances or insurance matters. Good. You couldn't pick a better day.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Intense discussions with others might present ways to improve the relationship itself. Be open to this.

Be open to observing yourself.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Look for ways to introduce improvements at work, because they exist.

You might see methods to cut costs or promote efficiency.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) If you're involved in sports or the arts, today is a good day to improve and hone your technique. Parents might see ways to improve their relationships with their kids.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a good day to clean laundry areas or anything to do with plumbing, garbage and recycling. Get rid of what you no longer use. Be ruthless.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You'll be convincing in all your communication with others today. This is because it's easy for you to put all of yourself into what you have to say.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might see ways to handle your money better. Actually, you might see ways to get a new job or get more use out of something you own. You are financially resourceful today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Think about physical exercises and your dietary habits in terms of what you can do to improve yourself today. You might even look in the mirror and see how you can spruce up your image.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Discussions about philosophy, religion and politics will be intense today. People are in their corners, and they are committed. Nevertheless, you might change someone's mind.

YOU BORN TODAY You project an aura of self-confidence and often are attracted to mysteries, detective work, even danger. No doubt this is because you like excitement in your life. You have excellent focus and are a good problem-solver. You get things done fast because, whatever you do, you give it your all. This year, an important decision will arise. Choose wisely.

Today’s sports Replay 50 years ago Oct. 31, 1963 Joe Buneta will have both size and experience on his Holy Angels cage crew for the Wings’ forthcoming campaign. No less than five lettermen will be back from last year’s combination, which annexed top laurels in the tough Holiday Tournament at Wapakoneta St. Joseph. Tvwo of the veterans are rangy, including Jerry Geise, a senior center, and Tom DeLong, a junior forward, both measuring six feet, four inches.

25 years ago Oct. 31, 1988 The title game of the Sidney Class A District Volleyball Tournament matched the powerful offense of top-seeded Fort Loramie against the hustling defense of secondseeded Fairlawn. In the end, strength proved to be too much as the Lady Redskins prevailed 15-8, 15-12. Statistical leaders for Loramie were Stacey Sherman with a perfect setting performance, Theresa Middendorf 16 of 18 hitting, and Janet Meyer 15 of 17 hitting.

Greenville stands in way of 5-5 record Ken Barhorst There’s no playoff berth on the line, no league championship to win.

But for the Sidney Yellow Jackets, it’s still a big game Friday night when they travel to Greenville for the regular-season finale.

Sidney goes into the game with a 4-5 record after backto-back losses the last two weeks. And finishing even on the year at 5-5 would mean another step in the right direction, says head coach Adam Doenges.

“We talked about it with the kids this week. It’s a big difference between 5-5 and 4-6,” he said. One, from the standpoint of not finishing the season as a losing team, and two, it shows we’re moving in the right direction.”

The records don’t lie on that account. Sidney had two straight 0-10 seasons before Doenges led last year’s team to a 4-6 mark. So 5-5 would

The Little Brown Jug is up for grabs Friday night whenb Sidney visits Greenville.

be a step up.

“Obviously, everyone wants to win that last game of the year,” Doenges said.

“It’s big for us because we feel like we’ve been competitive in all our games but two (Trotwood and Springboro), and put forth our best effort in those games. So when you look at the totality of it, if 5-5 is what we can get to,

40517466

They have a core group of five or six players that are really good and could start for about anybody we play.

And they rely on them to win the game. This is not a team to take lightly.”

Sophomore quarterback Clay Guillozet is having a good season, hitting 108 of 199 for 1,218 yards and 11 touchdowns. And the leading rusher is Ryan Eldridge with 662 yards.

“Guillozet started last year as a freshman and he’s a good one,” said Doenges.

“And they have a linebacker who will play Division I some day. Their defense revolves around him.”

Sidney gets Anthony Yates back after six weeks out due to an injury.

“He was starting to play some really good football when he got hurt,” said Doenges. “He’s been gone for six weeks and he’s anxious to get back out there.”

Lady Cavs just three wins from goal Rob Kiser

Civitas Media

The Lehman girls soccer team has gone where no Shelby County high school soccer team has gone before.

On Saturday night, the Lady Cavaliers, 17-11, will play Hamilton Badin, 12-4-4, at 6 p.m. at Lebanon Junior High in a Division III regional final. “I had a speech prepared for the girls last November,” Lehman coach Tony Schroeder said. “We talked about the goal this year being to win state and we are three wins away. When you get to the elite eight like this, it can come down to a lucky bounce.

But you need to have to the drive to get that lucky bounce and they have that.” And Schroeder knows they wouldn’t be where they are without some great fan support, as could be heard in their 4-2 regional semifinal win over Summit Country Day. “The fans were so loud, I told the girls before the game, they (the players) will probably be hoarse after the game, because they were going to have to talk louder. “It was great.

It was one of the loudest crowds I have ever heard for a high school soccer game.” Schroeder also praised all those that helped his players along the way. “I think it says a lot about the Sidney and Piqua youth soccer programs to produce a team like this,” he said. “I coached a lot of the kids from Sidney.

It shows how important all the volunteer coaches and everyone like that

are.” And the Lady Cavs, who have played their last two games on turf, have gotten help from Piqua High School. “We are hoping to get one more practice there Thursday,” he said about Alexander Stadium/ Purk Field. “We really appreciate Piqua’s generosity in letting us get some practices there on turf.” As for Saturday’s game, Schroeder expects quite a challenge. “We play a tough schedule, but I think Badin plays an even tougher one,” he said. Their losses have come to Summit Country Day, St. Ursula and Alter, who are still alive in D-I and D-II and McNicholas, who just lost to Alter. And one of their ties came to defending D-III state champion Middletown Fenwick, who is still alive in the Columbus regional.

“With the exception of one or two games, everyone they play is really tough,” Schroeder said.

“They like to possess the ball with their midfielders. Our scouts say they can make things happen from midfield quickly.”

Midfielder/forward Madi Kah will play for Ohio University, while sophomore Malia Berkely plays for the national ODP team. “They have some outstanding players and so do we,” Schroeder said.

Lehman has allowed just seven goals all season. “We feel like our two defenders, Carly Baird and Jordi Emrick, are the two best in the state,” Schroeder said.

“McKenna Guillozet and Madeline Franklin do a nice job back there and so does Hannah

Fogt (off the bench).”

“Then you have to hand it to (keeper) Grace Frantz, who is a fouryear starter and we have Marla Schroeder playing right in front of her.

We feel like defense is a strength.” On offense, Ashley Keller had three goals against Summit and Taylor Lachey added one. “We are playing really well on offense and those girls are doing a nice job of

finishing. “Sara Fuller had misses some time and came back against Bethel. “She is playing with a fractured bone in her foot and had two assists against Summit.

She really makes a difference.” Nine of Lehman’s 11 starters are seniors. “I think that is our biggest advantage,” Schroeder said. “Seniors play with a different intensity level this time of year.”

While Lehman was

effective with the long ball Tuesday, Schroeder expects a different game Saturday. “I think we are going to possess the ball more, because Badin likes to posses the ball,” Schroeder said. “Whoever gets the lead is going to be trying to hang on.” And Schroeder hopes the will be his team as they try and take another step in the history books.

Former Brown Hanford Dixon to be at benefit auction Saturday

Former Cleveland Browns defensive back Hanford Dixon will be in Sidney Saturday to sign autographs in support of an auction to benefit local Browns fan Charlie Cable.

Cable suffers from cancer.

The auction, sponsored by the Big Four Browns Backers, will begin at 1 p.m. in the AMVETS hall, 1319 Fourth Ave. Dixon will be at about 3 p.m.,

organizers said.

In addition to the auction, there will be raffles and door prizes. Food will be available for purchase.

Among the items to go on the auction block are Browns die-cast memorabilia, stick pins, old and new buttons, a 1994 limited edition pin head set, media guides from the early 1970s, more than 100 hats including

I’d say yeah, that’s progression.”

The Jackets were no match for Trotwood last week.

“Until you actually go out and watch them play against your players do you really appreciate the athleticism those guys bring,” Doenges said of the Rams. “We had that look of dejection in the second quarter, but we bounced back. We told them, this is not what we do anymore. We’re going to go back out in the second half and give our best effort. And we did.”

The opponent Friday, the Greenville Green Wave, has just a 1-8 record, but Doenges said there are a lot of things to make a coach nervous.

“The weather, it’s their senior night, we have to travel 55 minutes… A lot of factors that make you apprehensive,” he said.

“And they’ve played some very competitive games, too.

Cavaliers shoot for outright NWCC title The Lehman Cavaliers will likely wrap up an outright Northwest Central Conference championship Friday night when they travel to Upper Scioto Valley to end the regular season.

They will then likely host a playoff a week from Saturday in the Division VII playoffs.

The Cavs are coming off another lopsided win, 60-0 over Waynesfield at Sidney Memorial Stadium. And the best news coming out of that

game is that the team is healthy.

“We’re as healthy as we’ve been all season,” said Lehman head coach Dick Roll, who sat out junior standout Greg Spearman two weeks ago.

The Cavs face an Upper team that got off to a good start, but injuries piled up.

“I think this team is probably the best team we’ve faced since Fort Loramie,” Roll said.

“They got off to a good start (3-1) but had some

injuries. But they look good on tape and do a lot of good things.”

And there’s one other concern.

“We’ve never played well up there,” he said.

We’ve won both times we’ve gone up there, but we haven’t played well.”

Fort Loramie The Redskins are trying not to look ahead to week 11, but it’s tough.

“We talked at practice,” said coach Matt Burgbacher.

“We’re got our playoff shirts ordered now, and one

thing the kids always see me wearing is playoff shirts from 2009, 2010, 2011 and last year.

Because it never gets old. This will be our fifth year in a row, and it’s still a great feeling of accomplishment. That’s what makes football different. You have to earn your right to be there.”

Before that, however, the Redskins want to nail down the runnerup spot in the NWCC behind Lehman, and to do that, they need to beat a Riverside team

that has carved out a good season, coming in with a 5-4 record.

The Pirates have a 1,000-yard runner in Connor Cotterman with 1,120, and Tanner Lane is just 40 yards away from giving them two to hit that mark.

“Riverside is a very impressive team,” Burgbacher said. “It’s not the same Riverside.

They’ve only got four seniors, so they’re doing it with a lot of underclassmen.

Anna

The Rockets’ season will end Friday night when they travel to Rockford to play the Parkway Panthers in a matchup of 3-6 teams.

The Rockets took Marion Local down to the wire last week, leading in the fourth quarter before falling 14-3.

Ru n n i n g back Christian Williams was back in action and rushed for 125 yards against the stout Flyer defense. That put him over the 1,000-yard mark at 1,018.

A virtual Halloween Social networking basics

BY LINDSEY DIERINGER Halloween is here and there cannot be a better time to experiment with what is truly scary and downright terrifying. It is a time for haunted house gimmicks, horror movie marathons, and things that are used to make us jump, scream, and run to turn on the lights. However, in recent years, the more the classic methods of fright have lost their appeal and entertainment. For those who seek to get scared, or those who have simply grown accustomed to the traditional methods to the point where they are not stimulated by it anymore, the world of video games has changed just for you. All the time spent being chased by nonthreatening volunteers in costumes and the same standard plot of horror films has grown old. Now we can get scared by being plunged into a videogame world plagued with monsters, psychos, and everything else that was ever a reason for humans to be afraid of the dark. In video games, where one can enter a world of sheer terror, the control and survival is left to the player.

Here are just a few of the haunted games available: Scratches (PC). When the Blackwood Estate is inherited by a struggling author it all seems like the perfect place to withdraw to for some peace and quiet. Soon the player learns of the manor’s horrible past that begins when the author starts to hear the awful scratching noise during the night.

Call of Cthulhu (Xbox/PC). Influenced by H. P. Lovecraft’s delightfully horrifying tales, Cthulhu Mythos is a private investigator hired to find a missing person in a strange little New England town. Mythos uncovers the towns’ dark secrets involving murder, mayhem, and the ferocious supernatural all the while dealing with his own unstable psyche. When Mythos is exposed to too much horror and he will begin to hallucinate terrifying visions.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent (PC). Amnesia has made it’s name as one of the most horrifying videogames ever developed (averaging between 810 out of 10 in ratings). Released in August 2012, a player awakens in Prussian Brennenburg Castle as Henry Molaison who has no memory of who he is. The only thing he knows is that something sinister is hunting him and with no weapons, limited light source, and the creatures being capable of running as fast as the player, the only hope is to hide or play for a miracle.

For more scary videogame titles, refer to the YouTube channel TatsTopsVideos for “Top 80 Scary Horror Games (Part 1, 2, & 3).”

Social Networking has become a major part of today’s society. People of all age groups use various sites to interact with others. From Facebook to Twitter, millions of people are being connected every day.

There are many pros and cons to social networking. For example, some of the pros are that you can be connected with anyone in the world that also uses that social network. Also, it gives people more ways to express themselves. Although, there are also some cons to social networks, such as cyber bullying. Since the mass popularization of social networking, cyber bullying has become a big issue.

Some of the most popular social media sites are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Vine, and Youtube. If you are new to social networks, there are a few things you may want to learn about a few of these sites.

Facebook, for example, was a site originally created to connect college students.

It is now used to connect everyone together. To use Facebook, you need to know that there is a page for everything you can think of. From inspiring pages with quotes to make you feel better, funny pages that just make you laugh, to business and info pages that can give you all the info about certain topics. All you have to do is search in the top white bar to find anything.

Twitter was a site created as a social experiment to see if people could say what they wanted to say in only 140 characters. This is one of the things you must know, that when you tweet, you only have 140 characters. Another thing you need to know is that to say something directly to someone, you must tweet them. This means that you must put the ‘@’ symbol then their user name to say what you want to say.

Instagram is a site that was created to allow other people to share their photos. Things you must know about Instagram are the hash tags. Hash tags are used to tag/describe a picture you post. Hash tags (#) in all social media sites help to be able to search for topics.

Finally, there is YouTube. YouTube is a site that has videos of everything. From music videos to cute cats talking, and sometimes full-length movies. Something that you should know about Youtube is that there are videos for close to everything. Many contributors make a series of videos, and there are also many news channels on YouTube making it a place to go for daily updates. YouTube has helped get information, news, and talent all across the world. Often a video will go “viral” which means it has reached a very high number of viewers.

The best way to learn about social media is to try it out, but make sure you are safe online and don’t give out too much information about yourself.
