Village Council will now meet Tuesday to hold a second reading on the motion to disband the department.

Among those present Tuesday were three Anna residents who are Sidney Police officers, as well as some individuals upset over the pos-

sibility of the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office taking over if the police department is disbanded.

Also present was Anna Police Chief Scott Evans, who stood in the doorway flanked by other Anna Police officers during the meeting.

Evans exchanged smiles with

members of the audience who spoke in support of him, but he did not speak.

NEWS NUMBERS

Friday, 1963, came a week early in America and Shelby County.

Sidney reacted to the shocking news of the assassination of the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, as did millions of other Americans with disbelief.

This Friday marks the 50th anniversary of the day that Lee Harvey Oswald took the life of the young president in Dallas. Most Americans old enough to remember the dark period

vividly recall what they were doing when they heard the news.

Research into archives of the Sidney Daily New from Nov. 23-26, 1963, reveals how the local community reacted to the emotional developments.

The pre-Thanksgiving weekend in Ohio, 1963, was cold and blustery, one with very little sunshine to illuminate how this tragedy could have happened. The nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holiday plans were

overshadowed with sorrow and the hunger for relevant news and understanding. No one wanted to believe this was happening.

President Kennedy had been in office two years, 10 months, and two days. He had been inaugurated Jan. 20, 1961. His Irish family upbringing was born of wealth, high ideals and a path toward greatness. His heroic World War II record set the stage for honors and national recognition.

Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vigor for life and his young family made for strong personal popularity.

First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy was followed by the world for her style choices and attractive qualities. This popularity was emphasized as they traveled in Texas for a political week end.

The crowds were large and spontaneously emotional.

The First United Methodist Church of Sidney held a 1 p.m. memorial service on Monday. The Rev. James Tyler officiated, under sponsorship of the Shelby County Ministerial Association. Special music was planned. A Holy Hour was observed at Holy Angels Catholic Church on Friday night.

Many stores , businesses and the local library closed at 11:30 a.m. Monday until 3 p.m. so the workforce could attend functions, or watch the funeral on TV. Citizens of Shelby County became aware of the tragedy by a variety of sources.

Faye Spangler, now a retired local teacher, was a student in and was in the 10th-grade study hall. The announcement was made to the entire school. Spangler recalls, “the rest of the day was a blank; we were all in a state of shock. We were glued to the TV all weekend.”

She also stated, and many echoed her thought, that “it was like a member of our family had died. It’s like it was just yesterday.”

Pat Edwards worked at the Shelby County Courthouse and recalls someone came into the office and told her the news.

Shecalled a friend working in the Sheriff’s Office and they went to the Spot restaurant for a Coke.

“It made a big impact on me,” Edwards said. “It was the first time I voted in a presidential election.” She likened this to hearing about the attack on Pearl Harbor, “one of those things you never forget.”

Many citizens recall the nationwide black and white television coverage. Many found comfort throughout the grief-filled weekend by non-stop viewing and reading newspapers in search for the latest news associated with the historical event.

Television had no commercial revenue throughout the weekend.

As in Sidney, each community in the United States did what it could to deal with the unexpected tragedy, an event for which none were prepared.

Unfortunately, America was being schooled on how to deal with national tragic events, as more were to follow. These would include the assassination of black leader Dr. Martin Luther King, and that of JFK’s younger brother, Bobby Kennedy, who was running for president at the time of his death.

Sidney joined the rest of the world with plans to show respect. Shelby County Commissioner Francis H. DeLoye, chairman, proclaimed that offices in the courthouse would be closed all day Monday, in respect for the funeral. Flags across the county were lowered to show respect.

Sidney commmission recommends replat The Sidney Planning Commission Monday night recommended a lot replat in connection with a parking lot project.

The commission recommended that City Council approve the replat of two lots at 14101440 and 1250-1280 N. Vandemark Road requested by Choice One Engineering, on behalf of Bensar Properties. The replat will create two new lots. The purpose of this replat is to shift the shared side lot line to the south approximately 56

feet. New semi-rig parking facilities are being constructed on lot. The lot-line shift is necessary to comply with the zoning code, which requires a 10-foot grass area separation between a parking facility and any property line.

In other business, the commission appointed Amy Moloney as the city’s representative to the Shelby County Regional Planning Commission to replace Dave Kreischer, whose term ends Dec. 31.

Council eyes budget JACKSON CENTER — Jackson Center Village Council at its recent meeting got a preview of the 2014 appropriations budget.

Village Administrator Bruce Metz said he is putting the final touches on the 2014 appropriations budget.

The budget for 2013 totals $4,014,763. The total for the draft copy of the 2014 budget is $4,307,119, which is a difference of $292,356.

Items that affect increase are: • Health insurance — a 50 percent increase over 2013.

• Electric generation and purchase — increase of $201,410 over 2013.

• Water/sewer truck with plow, $35,000.

• Police reporting software, $25,000.

• Utility software upgrade, $15,000.

Metz plans to have the first reading of the appropriations budget at the next council meeting.

Councilman Larry Wahrer reported that for September village expenditures were $14,582.44 more than income for the month.

However, the village had $37,822.91 in expenses just for paving projects. He said the good news is that year-to-date income is $215,451.80 greater than last year at this time.

Income tax receipts for September were $61,432.97 and this is $10,040.73 more than September 2012.

Income tax receipts for the year are running 9.2 percent greater than last year at this time.

Council adopted an ordinance authorizing adjustments in the 2013 annual appropriations. The ordinance transfers appropriations in the water operating fund and the sewer operating fund to enable the village to pay to the electric operating fund all electric usage fees for the water treatment plant and the wastewater treatment plant for this year. The payment of electric usage is being done to help meet the established debt service ratio.

Council adopted an ordinance authorizing the village administrator to enter into a contract to furnish fire protection outside the village limits in 2014. This is an annual agreement between the village and Stokes Township for the Jackson Center Fire Department to provide fire protection for a portion of Stokes Township.

Counciliman Jim Frye stated that he wanted to commend the Jackson Center Police Department on how it handled a bomb threat incident at the Jackson Center Schools. Frye stated that Chief Joe Cotterman and Officer Chuck Wirick handled the situation very well and did a great job and solved the situation by noon the next day. Mayor Scott Klopfenstein echoed the same sentiments for the Police Department and all involved and stated that Bill Reichert, superintendent of Jackson Center Schools, was very appreciative of their efforts.

Obituary policy The Sidney Daily News publishes abbreviated death notices free of charge. There is a flat $85 charge for obituaries and photographs.

Usually death notices

and/or obituaries are submitted via the family’s funeral home, although in some cases a family may choose to submit the information directly.

Today in History The Associated Press

Today is Thursday, Nov. 21, the 325th day of 2013. There are 40 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 21, 1973, President Richard Nixon’s attorney, J. Fred Buzhardt, revealed the existence of an 18-1/2-minute gap in one of the White House tape recordings related to Watergate.

On this date: In 1789, North Carolina became the 12th state to ratify the U.S. Constitution.

In 1861, Judah Benjamin, who had been acting Confederate Secretary of War, was formally named to the post.

In 1920, the Irish Republican Army killed 12 British intelligence officers and two auxiliary policemen in the Dublin area; British forces responded by raiding a soccer match, killing 14 civilians.

In 1922, Rebecca L. Felton of Georgia was sworn in as the first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate.

In 1931, the Universal horror film “Frankenstein,” starring Boris Karloff as the monster and Colin Clive as his creator, was first released.

In 1934, the Cole Porter musical “Anything Goes,” starring Ethel Merman as Reno Sweeney, opened on Broadway.

In 1942, the Alaska Highway was formally opened.

In 1969, the Senate voted down the Supreme Court nomination of Clement F. Haynsworth, 55-45, the first such rejection since 1930.

In 1974, bombs exploded at a pair of pubs in Birmingham, England, killing 21 people.

(Six suspects were convicted of the attack, but the convictions of the so-called “Birmingham Six” were overturned in 1991.)

In 1980, 87 people died in a fire at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Nev. In 1991, the U.N. Security Council chose Boutros Boutros-Ghali of Egypt to be Secretary-General.

In 1995, the Dow Jones industrial average closed above the 5,000 mark for the first time, rising 40.46 points to end the day at 5,023.55.

Ten years ago: More than a dozen rockets fired from donkey carts slammed into Iraq’s Oil Ministry and two downtown Baghdad hotels used by foreign journalists and civilian defense contractors. Health officials said a deadly outbreak of hepatitis A at a Chi-Chi’s Mexican restaurant in suburban Pittsburgh was probably caused by green onions from Mexico.

Five years ago: Wall Street staged a comeback, with the major indexes jumping more than 5 percent and the Dow Jones industrials surging nearly 500 points. Somali pirates released a hijacked Greekowned tanker, MV Genius, with all 19 crew members safe and the oil cargo intact after payment of a ransom. (The ship had been seized almost two months earlier.) Madonna and Guy Ritchie were granted a preliminary decree of divorce by a London court.

Supersized Pong game sets record PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A college professor who played a supersized video game on the side of a Philadelphia skyscraper now holds a Guinness world record for the feat.

Drexel University professor Frank Lee recreated the classic Atari game Pong on the 29-story Cira Centre last spring.

The building essentially became a 60,000-squarefoot screen as hundreds of embedded LED lights replicated the familiar ball and paddles, which were controlled by a joystick about a mile away.

Drexel officials learned on Friday the project earned Lee the Guinness World Records mark for largest architectural video game display.

Other gaming enthusiasts got to share in the fun in April. Players also tried out giant versions of Space Invaders and Tetris.

Obama honors John F. Kennedy legacy Darlene Superville Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Honoring the legacy of John F. Kennedy, President Barack Obama laid a wreath at the assassinated president’s gravesite as a nation remembers that terrible day in Dallas a half-century ago Friday. Obama also recognized a group of distinguished Americans — including Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey — with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, an award created by Kennedy.

Obama was joined at Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday by Clinton, and each president held hands with Ethel Kennedy, widow of Robert F. Kennedy, as they climbed a flight of stairs to the burial site on a steep hillside overlooking the nation’s capital.

First lady Michelle Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton helped their husbands place a large wreath of white flowers in front of the roped-off gravesite of America’s 35th

president, which is marked by an ever-burning flame.

Both couples placed their hands over their hearts as taps sounded near a U.S. flag at halfstaff before greeting Kennedy relatives, including some who arrived in Obama’s motorcade, before Friday’s 50th anniversary of the assassination.

The day of tributes began at the White House, where Obama awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to 16 living and deceased Americans for their contributions in fields ranging from sports and entertainment to science and public service.

“These are the men and women who in their extraordinary lives remind us all of the beauty of the human spirit, the values that define us as Americans, the potential that lives inside of all of us,” Obama said.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, daughter Chelsea Clinton and film director Steven Spielberg were among scores of people seated in the White House East Room for the ceremony, which Obama said is “one of my favorite events every year.”

President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama greet Ethel Kennedy, widow of Robert F. Kennedy, and other members of the Kennedy family, following a wreath laying ceremony in honor of President John F. Kennedy, Wednesday at the JFK gravesite at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va. Friday will mark the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination.

Online From page 1 which is about online behavior; and cyber ethics, about treating others online as the user would like to be treated.

“We’ll talk about the issues and what to do,” Rappach said at the beginning of the 90-minute session.

He provided additional alarming statistics: • 54 percent of girls are friends online with someone they don’t personally know.

• 75 percent have been contacted online by someone they don’t know and just 4 percent told an adult about it.

• 83 percent of boys and 57 percent of girls have seen group sex online before they are 18.

• 76 percent of first encounters with predators are in online chat rooms.

“Nothing good happens in a chat room,” Rappich said, of the Internet sites that permit mutliple people to instant-message each other at the same time.

He urged parents to become experts in the phone platforms used by their children and to set privacy controls on social networks.

“Monitor what kids are doing on their accounts,” he said.

“Definitely get your kids in the mind set of ‘no secrets in cyber space.’ Social networking is a breeding ground for people to weasel their way into (kids’) lives.”

In both sessions, Rappach stressed that once something is posted online, it remains

online forever.

“Be good net citizens. Don’t post someone else’s picture without getting their permission to do so,” he said.

He told the group how to dismantle the default geotracking on their phones. Geotracking locks into a photo the location where it was shot. If people take photos of their children at home and post the photos on Facebook or other sites, anyone can discern from the photos where those children live.

People aren’t always who they say they are on the Internet, he added, and showed a video featuring the voice of an unseen child talking with others online about how he likes to collect football mementos. As the camera pans downward, the speaker is revealed to be an adult man trying to entrap youngsters.

Online gaming is an activity that permits children to meet strangers online and to think of them as friends, he cautioned.

Another video opened an extensive discussion about cyberbullying. Rappach defined “flaming,” “dissing” and “bashing,” all terms for posting harrassing and degrading statements online.

“Kids who are being bullied don’t tell people they’re being bullied,” he said. “Kids who spend more than three hours a day online are 110 percent more likely to be victims of cyberbullying.” He listed some of the signs that indicate that a child is being bullied: • He unexpectedly stops using

the computer.

• She is angry after using the computer.

• He is nervous or jumpy when a message comes in.

Children who are doing the bullying are likely to switch screens quickly when someone approaches, laugh while using the computer, get online at all hours of the night, get upset if they’re not allowed to use the computer and avoid discussing what they’re doing online.

“If a child is being bullied, talk to the child,” Rappach said.

“Report the abuse to the police and ask school (officials) about their cyberbullying procedures.”

He told about a girl in Cincinnati who was being bullied online. Her

parents, he said, did all the right things: they alerted the school and the police, they moved the girl to a different school.

“What they forgot,” he added, “was that the Internet goes everywhere. The bullying followed her online to the new school.” She eventually killed herself. “Don’t forget the electronic piece,” he said.

Rappach closed the program by giving attendees advice on how to recognize scams, the importance of firewalls and anti-virus software, and what to do if a computer is compromised.

He recommended websites for more information, two of which are secure.nd.edu/goes-wrong and www.staysafeonline.org.

Police From page 1 sion to look at disbanding the department.

Eshleman began by discussing what council sees as key problems, some of which he said have existed for some time. They include personnel problems, training and certifications that have not been kept updated, record keeping problems, lack of evidence tracking, liability issues, lab costs and the lack of vehicle maintenance.

Eshleman reviewed the 2013 police department appropriations that totaled $152,845.

Among those costs were $116,945 in salaries, benefits and fees; $12,000 for contractual services; $15,400 for utilities and vehicle fuel; $6,000 for supplies and materials and $2,500 for capital outlay.

The sheriff has presented a proposed one year renewable contract with the police department, with a 60-day termination clause for either party. Under the contract: The Sheriff’s Office would provide policing services to the village.

There will be an Anna resident deputy who will work full-time and a veteran deputy with ties to the village, who will live in the village.

The Sheriff’s Office will provide 80 hours of law enforcement coverage to the village during a seven-day period.

The current auxiliary and part-time police

staff will have an opportunity to apply to be reserve deputies.

The current police station will be a satellite office for the Sheriff’s Office.

The Sheriff’s Office and village will agree to lease all property, including cruisers, to the Sheriff’s Office for $1 per month for the length of the contract.

Mayor’s court will continue as long as the mayor wants to hold it.

The sheriff or a person he appoints will attend all Anna Safety Committee and village council meetings.

It was pointed out that the contract will save the village $9,682 in 2014 and in 2015 will save $20,483.

Eshleman assured those present, “the village would not lose its identity or control.

Cruisers and uniforms will say ‘Village of Anna’.”

Sheriff John Lenhart told the crowd he knows it is a difficult decision.

“We want to provide you with the best service.”

Lenhart said his office will not hire a person without council’s knowledge or approval.

After the meeting, Lenhart said he believes strongly in home rule and “we will help Anna Council with security issues as we have in the past.”

Eshleman responded to a question, noting the village does not have 24-hour-a-day, seven-

day-a-week coverage currently and they need coverage for “high crime times.”

During the meeting many speakers in the audience did not identify themselves. One asked, “Why are you doing this when it was made perfectly clear the village doesn’t want this?”

Others present expressed displeasure with disbanding the police department, with some arguing they did not want the action taken. Some said they think the village is keeping “secrets” about what is going on and others were angry about the Sheriff’s Office taking over.

One of the most vocal people present was Bill Shoemaker, an Anna resident who is also a Sidney Police officer. Also attending was Sidney Police Chief Will Balling, who has expressed his displeasure with the Sheriff’s Office in recent days over Sidney Schools security issues, and Sidney Police Officer Mike McRill. They are all Anna residents.

Shoemaker said he felt having the Sheriff’s Office take over is not a better alternative.

“It’s tried and it’s failed everywhere,” he said.

He said he knows how to handle the Anna Police Department problems and “can give guidance.

People in Anna know how to run the Anna

PD,” he stated.

Some residents said they wanted to vote on the proposal to disband the police department and asked how to go about it. Eshleman told them to hire an attorney.

Eshleman said there were some issues he would discuss privately following the meeting, citing personnel issues that could not be discussed publicly.

In a phone call with Eshleman Wednesday, he told the Sidney Daily News that village council has become aware of other problems involving Evans, including psychiatric reports ordered twice by the Minster Police Department when he was employed there and problems at Sidney Municipal Court when he worked there.

Eshleman said the psychiatric reports revealed

“basically the problems we’re having with him.”

He said village council has “lost confidence in Scott to do his job.”

He noted council is still unsure if Evans is living in the village, which has also been an issue.

The next step is for council to meet Tuesday to continue discussing the problem. the meeting will be in the council chambers in the town hall “unless we hear about a big group going to hang us,” Eshleman said.

He said council will continue with readings of the ordinance to disband and that the only thing that will stop it now is if the council does not have a second to the motion on the third reading. The second reading will take place Tuesday.

Anna church plans Thanksgiving service ANNA — St. Jacob Lutheran Church, at the corner of Ohio 119 and County Road 25A (Main and Pike streets), will be celebrating Thanksgiving with a worship service

Sunday at 7:30 p.m.

The worship is open to all people and will revolve around the theme of giving thanks to God for all the gifts and blessings that we have received in

each of us to look at each other with love and not disdain, similarities and not differences.

The Scripture is not to imagine that we would live in some panacea and that we all just get along with no differences. For me the Scripture imagines a world where each of us, as God’s creation, look inside ourselves and love God with our entire being, our heart, mind, soul and strength.

And from that love we draw our ability to love each other in spite of our differences. I imagine a community where killing

and hatred cease and love and the ability to resolve our differences or simply walk away is the rule of the day. I imagine a community that bands together against injustice and hatred and a community where everyone is fed and everyone has shelter.

It will take some courage for us to accomplish this and it will take some courage to live it out, but together, loving God, we can love each other and change our community, our neighborhoods and our world.

The writer is pastor of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ, 707 N. Ohio Ave.

‘Sounds of the Season’ concert planned CARTHAGENA — The public is invited to “Sounds of the Season,” music of Advent and Christmas, Dec. 1 at 3:30 p.m. at St. Charles Senior Living Community, 2860 U.S. 127.

The Rev. Ralph Verdi, organist and composer, plus Ron Johnson, music director of Holy Trinity Parish, Coldwater, as well as choirs and musicians from local parishes in Celina, Coldwater, Maria Stein, St. Rose and Cassella, will provide seasonal music. This will be held in the Assumption

and it belongs to all of us. We are also reminded that these two commandments are tied together and everything else depends on that, or as the Scripture says: “On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

We have witnessed enough unnecessary and senseless killing and hatred to know that something needs to change. It is not good enough to point the finger at someone else or wait for someone else to pick up the load or to carry the banner. It is incumbent on

the past year and that we continue to enjoy in our daily lives.

Gobble tov! American Jews ready for Thanksgivukkah

Thursday, starting in 1942.

Jewish practice calls for the first candle of eightday Hanukkah to be lit the night before Thanksgiving Day this year, so technically Thanksgivukkah falls on the “second candle” night.

And then there’s Texas.

Before 1863, each state decided on its own date for Thanksgiving. As late as 1956, Texans were still chowing down on turkey and stuffing a week later than everyone else, according to a history put together by Chabad.org of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement of Hasidic Jews. That means Jews in that state might have also been lighting their first Hanukkah candle in 1945 and 1956.

There’s more early Thanksgiving lore and 2,000

years of calendar tinkering involving the Jewish calendar, but we’ll spare you.

Jonathan Mizrahi, a quantum physicist at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, N.M., puzzled on the convergence last January, in a blog post with buzzed-about line graphs picked up by others online. More than 100,000 people have visited the blog since then, he said, including some who questioned his calculations and prompted him to post a couple of clarifications.

He hadn’t made it clear that he was referring to the “second candle” night of Hanukkah, and he hadn’t realized Thanksgiving had shifted from the last to the fourth Thursday of November.

of the Jewish calendar makes Hanukkah and other religious observances appear to drift slightly from year to year when compared to the U.S., or Gregorian, calendar. But much of the intrigue over Hanukkah this year is buried deep in the history of Thanksgiving itself, which hasn’t always been fixed in the same spot. That caused some initial confusion over Thanksgivukkah, aka Turkukkah.

In 1863, Lincoln declared Thanksgiving as the last Thursday in November (the month sometimes has five of those) and the holiday remained there until President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a joint resolution of Congress fixing it as the fourth

Let’s not forget the food mash-ups commemorating the staying power of the Pilgrims and the fighting prowess of the Jews, along with the miracle of one night’s oil lasting eight days. Pumpkin latkes, apple-cranberry sauce and deep-fried turkey, anyone?

“It’s pretty amazing to me that in this country we can have rich secular and rich religious celebrations and that those of us who live in both worlds can find moments when they meet and can really celebrate that convergence. There are a lot of places in the world where we would not be able to do that,” Paskin said.

NEW YORK (AP) — It’s a turkey. It’s a menorah. It’s Thanksgivukkah!

An extremely rare convergence this year of Thanksgiving and the start of Hanukkah has created a frenzy of Talmudic proportions.

There’s the number crunching: The last time it happened was 1888, or at least the last time since Thanksgiving was declared a federal holiday

by President Lincoln, and the next time may have Jews lighting their candles from spaceships 79,043 years from now, by one calculation.

There’s the commerce: A 9-year-old New York boy

invented the “Menurkey” and raised more than $48,000 on Kickstarter for his already trademarked, Turkey-shaped menorah. Woodstock-inspired T-shirts have a turkey perched on the neck of a guitar and implore “8 Days of Light, Liberty & Latkes.” The creators nabbed the trademark to “Thanksgivukkah.”

Songs have popped up with lyrics like these from “The Ballad of Thanksgivukkah”: “Imagine Judah Maccabee, sitting down to roast turkey and passing the potatoes to Squanto …” Rabbi David Paskin, the song’s co-writer and co-head of the Kehillah Schechter Academy in Norwood, Mass., proudly declares his

Don’t sleep on these Cavs BY: JOHN HUSA The air is colder, the leaves are falling, and it is time for Lehman sports to head inside. The Lehman girls’ basketball team is preparing for what they hope will be a successful season.

The Cavaliers are led by seven seniors: Julia Harrelson, Madeline Franklin, Katie Heckman, Jenna Kronenberger, Jordi Emrick, Allie Sowers, and Selty Zhong. The two juniors are Ava Schmitz and Brooke Jones.

The sophomores include Emmalea Rego, Kassie Lee, Marianne Hissong, Sara Fuller, and Allie Hall. This year’s freshmen are Hannah Fogt, Sidney Chapman, Jenna Zimmerman, Grace Burton, Lexie Caulfield, and Katie Edwards.

Last year the Cavaliers had just enough players for a varsity team, but this year the numbers are up and it looks great! On top of that, the Cavaliers have all players returning from last year’s team, and have some helpful additions. With an older, more experienced team this season, the ladies are looking to turn some heads.

Senior Julia Harrelson said, “We have many talented underclassmen and a great group of seniors to lead the team. I think we are going to surprise a lot of people, and I definitely think we will be worth watching.”

Fellow senior Jenna Kronenberger said, “I am pumped for this year! With the numbers and talent we have, I think we will do very well.”

The Cavaliers are confident and ready, as they have improved their numbers and are working hard. This looks to be a promising year for the ladies, and should be an exciting season. Don’t sleep on the Lady Cavs this year, as they begin their season on November 22.

Giving back

BY: GRACE FRANTZ Throughout the year here at Lehman the students take part in many activities to give back to the community. Monthly “jeans days” are one opportunity to donate money towards various causes. Students also volunteer, tutor, donate blood, and help out various charities.

One annual event that we have is a Thanksgiving food drive. This year, the drive ran from November 114. Students were encouraged to provide any nonperishable food item or a monetary donation. The items that were donated will be distributed to The Bethany Center in Piqua, The Alpha Center Soup Kitchen in Sidney, and The Saint Patrick’s Church Soup Kitchen in Troy.

The service project was organized by the school’s National Honor Society. On average every year we have collected over 500 items that have filled many cars to make their way to their respective donation site. NHS Advisor Mrs. Pam Wendel said, “ I love doing this project as a whole school.

This years’ senior class will be going down to Bergamo retreat center in Dayton along with eight junior leaders. Since the Kairos retreat is a peer-led experience, this year’s leaders trained last year as juniors. The junior leaders who will lead their the 2015 class retreat next year include four boys and four girls. To be selected as a leader, the interested junior must fill out an application that is read by Mr. Joe Schmiesing, Religion teacher and retreat advisor. Schmiesing and a group of Lehman faculty members select the juniors who they feel will lead the class in the best possible way. This year the junior leaders are Ben Montgomery, John Schmiesing, Dylan Sherman, Travis Thornton, Brooke Jones, Kaitlin Gillman, Maria Pannapara, and Ava Schmitz. When asked about being chosen, Sherman said, “Yes, I am excited to find out what it is all about.”

There is some mystery about Kairos as the students do not know everything that is being planned by the leaders but this is what makes the experience great. Maria Pannapara said, “I am excited to go but I am a little nervous. I applied to be a leader because I wanted to strengthen my own relationship with God as well Halloween fun: Students and teachers both have fun as helping others strengthen theirs.” with the annual Halloween dress-up day at Lehman.

Kronenberger said, “I am excited to give my witness to God and hopefully influence my class. I just want to tell the junior leaders that this is your Kairos.” Heckman said, “I cannot wait to meet and build a close relationship with everyone in my small group. Junior leaders should take notes as it will help when it is time for you to plan your Kairos next year.”

Kairos is less than a month away and all are anxiously awaiting the arrival at Bergamo Retreat Center in Dayton on December 10.

You draw people from various walks of life toward you. If you are single, you could meet several different people. Enjoy dating. You will know when someone is right for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You will see a situation differently from how the majority of people around you see it. As a result, you might proceed as you wish and not bother to explain why. You will note that several people give you the benefit of the doubt.

Keep them around. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

Today’s sports Replay 10 years ago Nov. 22, 2003 Fort Loramie graduate Faye Barhorst, a freshman at Dayton, has been named the Atlantic-10 Conference Rookie of the Year in volleyball. The A-10 handed out 11 Rookie of the Week honors this season, and Barhorst won six of them.

25 years ago Nov. 22, 1988 Fairlawn got 22 points from 6-4 John Batten and 21 from Josh Brautigam but after that, the next highest was just four in a 69-51 loss to the Graham Falcons.

Brautigan opened the season with a spectacular weekend, scoring 51 points in the two games.

50 years ago Nov. 21, 1963 Houston’s Wildcats were without a coach to their name today. Head coach Marv Stewart was hospitalized early Thursday morning, with a bad case of the flu, and will be there in all probability for several days. Adding to the distressing situation, Willard Heintz is in Columbus for the weekend, serving in his capacity at president of the Shelby County Teachers Association.

Girls basketball tips off Friday The girls basketball season opens Friday night around Ohio, and one thing is certain in Shelby County — it will be difficult to top last season.

When the four state champions in girls basketball were crowned last year in Columbus, two of them were from the Shelby County League, Anna easily winning the Division III championship for the second time in three years, and Fort Loramie beating the top-ranked and No. 2-ranked teams in Ohio to claim its first Rose state girls basketball title, in Division IV. While Anna is going through some big changes this year, there’s no doubt that the Lady Redskins are again good enough to make it back to Columbus and bring home another small-school championship.

Head coach Carla Siegel has nine players returning from last season, including alleverything Darian Rose, who last year became the first player in girls basketball history at

Fort Loramie to reach 1,000 points in her junior year.

The Lady Redskins will be in action Friday night at home when they take on the Lehman Lady Cavaliers, who will be led into town by new head coach Craig Hall.

It’s one of eight games on tap Friday night involving county/area teams.

Loramie will not play on Saturday, but face a tough early-season test on Tuesday at New Knoxville, which has its top two scorers back from the team that finished 17-4 last year. Knoxville will compete this weekend in the Lima Bath Tip-Off Tournament.

Locally, the Sidney High girls, coming off their first winning season in 12 years, play host to the Russia Lady Raiders, who have a new coach in Tim Hatcher this season.

The Lady Jackets lost a lot from the 15-10 team of a year ago, including the area’s top scorer in Konner Harris.

Russia, meanwhile, has a lot Rockets have a new coach this of talent returning from a 15-9 season in Dave McFeely, who team of a year go, including took Fort Loramie to the state 5-foot-10 Kylie Wilson, who tournament backin 1997. scored 12.8 points per game Like Fort Loramie, the Lady last season.

OSU streaks had similar beginnings

On this date in

Jim Naveau

1953 — Notre Dame ties Iowa 14-14 by faking injuries in both halves. With 2 seconds to go in the first half, a Notre Dame player stops the clock by faking an injury and the Fightin’ Irish score on the next play. With 6 seconds left in the game and Notre Dame out of timeouts, two players fake injuries and the Irish score on the last play to tie the game.

1981 — Brigham Young’s Jim McMahon passes for 552 yards in a 56-28 victory over Utah.

Gordon Hudson sets the NCAA record for yards gained by a tight end with 259.

1987 — The Columbia Lions extend their Division I-record losing streak to 41 games with a 19-16 loss to Brown. Columbia gives up a touchdown with 47 seconds left in the game.

2008 — Michigan’s 42-7 drubbing by Ohio State put a merciful end to the worst season in Michigan’s 129 years of intercollegiate football. The Wolverines (3-9) lose the most games in school history.

COLUMBUS – Ohio State’s 22-game winning streak, which is expected to become a school-record 23 games on Saturday against Indiana, started under circumstances similar to those which led up to the previous record.

The c u r re n t Buckeyes share the record with the OSU football teams of 1967, 1968 and 1969.

In 1967, Ohio State football was in a downturn. The Buckeyes lost three of their first five games after going 4-5 the year before. But they won their last four games and OSU didn’t lose again until the Michigan game in 1969.

jnaveau@limanews.com

Like 1967, Ohio State began its current winning streak after hitting a low point. A 24-17 loss to Florida in the Gator Bowl on Jan. 2, 2012 completed the first losing season at OSU since 1988.

The next day Urban Meyer and his coaching staff took over and Ohio State hasn’t lost since.

Even the players who have been there through the entirety of the current streak didn’t see that kind of success coming when they got on the plane to fly home from the Gator Bowl.

“I never would have guessed that,” senior backup quarterback Kenny Guiton said.

“We all left the Gator Bowl with a sour taste. We didn’t know

what the future would hold. We weren’t headed in the right direction at the time.”

Offensive lineman Corey Linsley said, “I don’t think anybody really wanted to be at the Gator Bowl and obviously that wasn’t our expectation going into the season.

Those were the darkest moments.”

Losing to Michigan in the last regularseason game might have been an even lower point, Linsley said. “After that game everybody was like, ‘We haven’t lost to these guys in forever.’

There were two classes that went through and never lost to them.

“Coming from that moment, it’s a whole ’nother world away,” Linsley said. “There’s

Athlete of the Week

a lot of reasons why we were 6-7 and why we’re undefeated now. But regardless, I think we’ve done nothing but worked hard and earned this spot.

“It’s been one heck of a ride. Just a lot of stuff thrown at us.

For the guys that stuck it out, through everything, through the ups and downs, it’s absolutely been worth it.”

Another offensive lineman, Jack Mewhort, says OSU has grown since bottoming out at the end of a tumultuous 2011 season.

“It seems like these guys care a lot. I’ve seen guys change over the years and really become selfless people. You’ve seen guys transform from me guys into team

guys. That’s something that’s great that has happened around here, ” Mewhort said.

“I think we did a lot of growing up.”

The c u r re n t Buckeyes (10-0, 6-0 Big Ten) are carefully avoiding talking about the streak, heading into Saturday’s game against Indiana (4-6, 2-4 Big Ten).

“At the end of this game, if we get this win then that will be a heck of an accomplishment, but right now we’re just focused on beating Indiana. Because Indiana doesn’t really care about our win streak,” Linsley said.

Mewhort said, “We’re kind of done looking forward. We have our eyes on something but we don’t want to do a lot of talking about it.”

Town cleans up, team prepares for big game NORMAL, Ill. (AP) — The home where Colton Marshall and his family lived is gone — one of 1,000 damaged or destroyed Sunday when a powerful tornado plowed through his central Illinois town of Washington.

But Tuesday in Illinois State University ’s Hancock Stadium, Marshall, 18, and his teammates from Washington Community High School didn’t let the disruption from the storm keep them from a routine they’ve had for years. They put on their helmets and pads, and started preparing for a football game. This one’s a big deal: a state semifinal on Saturday.

“Yeah, this is something our town’s been looking forward to. So, no matter what, we’re going to go play,” Marshall said.

“We used to come here for team camps, so this is normal.”

Marshall, the team’s quarterback, smiled a little. The irony of escaping to the community of Normal, where Illinois State is located, was not lost on the high school senior. What he and his teammates left back home — 40 minutes to the west — is in no way normal.

Sunday’s tornado cut a path from one corner to the other in Washington, a town of about 16,000 about 140 miles southwest of Chicago. Authorities say they know of only one person who died, something that surprises most anyone who’s seen the destruction.

Less than 24 hours before the storm, Marshall and the Panthers beat Normal University High 41-7 to advance to the semifinal, putting them a game away from a shot at the state Class 5A championship. Washington is undefeated, a perfect 12-0 going into Saturday’s game at Sacred HeartGriffin High School in Springfield.

Under the circumstances, getting a team of teenagers to focus on football is a challenge. Members of the team spent time Sunday and Monday helping start the process of salvaging valuables from homes. But then, coach Darrell Crouch said, it was good for the players to get back to football.

“Us missing these next four days, there’s going to be plenty of work for the six months or a year of cleanup,” he said. “Our town’s very much a football town, so this will help our town, too.”

First though, Crouch had to solve logistical problems of getting a team that lives in a disaster zone back on the field.

About 10 of the players no longer have homes to live in. While the football field in Washington is fine, the high school — like the rest of the town — has no safe water supply, and the cars and trucks that would have taken many Washington High families and fans to the game are sitting under the rubble of their owners’ homes.

After a text and a call from one of Crouch’s old friends, SacredHeart Griffin coach Ken

David Mercer | AP

In this Tuesday photo, Washington Community High School football players finish practice at Illinois State University’s Hancock Stadium in Normal, Ill., with instructions from head coach Darrell Crouch. The team has a state semifinal playoff game Saturday but their hometown is just digging out from a powerful tornado that destroyed a number of players’ homes.

Leonard, solutions started to come together with the help of Washington High’s opponent.

Sacred-Heart Griffin has chartered six buses that will get Washington fans to the game. The school’s parents also will help with the Panthers’ pre-game ritual — providing peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Another opponent also stepped up to help.

Normal University High — the team the Panthers beaten by 34 points before the tornado —

bought Washington players lunch on Tuesday and even offered to help with laundry while the team practices at its temporary facility at nearby Illinois State.

With those tasks handled, Crouch turned to getting his team ready.

And that’s fine for players. Even with coaches being tough on them at practice, they were loose.

They finished with a handful of field goal tries, the kicker surrounded by a rowdy circle of teammates.

“Money!” one shouted as the last kick went up and appeared to be headed between the uprights, only to clank off the crossbar to a collection of groans.

Marshall, after patiently doing a round of interviews with reporters, was the last player off the field.

Sunday morning, when the tornado hit, he was at work at a hardware store. He hid in the back break room as the tornado passed within a few hundred feet. Across the

parking lot, an auto supply store was destroyed.

Now Marshall’s family is scattered. He’s living with a friend while his sister and parents are with another family.

He doesn’t know much about what’s ahead, except that Saturday afternoon he’ll play football.

“I love getting my mind off of it,” Marshall said, choking up, looking away. “It’s been awhile — feels like forever — since we’ve been on a football field.”

Injury gives Stewart new perspective

Steve Helber | AP

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart, in a motorized scooter with a broken leg, talks with Ryan Newman at the Richmond International Raceway in Richmond, Va.

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (AP) — Tony Stewart has come to loathe stairs.

Out of a wheelchair, off his crutches and only in the last week or so walking without the use of a cane, Stewart still hasn’t totally settled back into his usual routine since breaking his right leg in an Aug. 5 sprint car crash. He’s living on his own again, but his most recent digs were on the second floor, and leaving the house each day required a thorough mental checklist.

“I have a huge appreciation for just daily things that I can’t do now,” he said. “It’s like I have to plan, I have to think about stuff. When I go to leave, I don’t want to have to go back up those steps. Before

I get to the end of the hallway, I make sure I have everything I need before I get down that flight of steps.”

Being out of a race car for more than four months now has given the threetime NASCAR champion a new outlook on just about everything.

On pace to run more than 100 races this year before the injury, Stewart instead spent almost a week in a hospital following the accident in Iowa.

He spent another week in bed with his leg immobilized, and was essentially confined to the home of his business manager for about a month. Stewart needed an ambulance to transport him to doctor appointments, daily tasks

Sidney Daily News, Thursday, November 21, 2013

Tigers send Fielder to Texas for Kinsler DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Detroit Tigers and Texas agreed to a blockbuster trade Wednesday night that would send slugger Prince Fielder to the Rangers for second baseman Ian Kinsler, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made.

Fielder signed a $214 million, nine-year contract with the Tigers before the 2012

season that includes a limited no-trade provision, and the big first baseman was set to approve the deal.

Kinsler just finished the first season of a $75 million, fiveyear contract.

The deal was first reported

by CBSSports.com.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first headline-grabbing move of baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offseason, and it involves two of the American Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top teams. Detroit has won three consecutive AL Central titles

Buckeyes get past American COLUMBUS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Amir Williams scored a career-high 16 points and Shannon Scott added 13 to lead No. 8 Ohio State to a 63-52 victory over American University on Wednesday night.

The Buckeyes (4-0) struggled all night to make shots, finishing 20 of 56 from the field for 36 percent.

Scott tied a career best with nine rebounds.

Jesse Reed scored 15 points, Tony Wroblicky had 14 and Darius Gardner 10 for the Eagles (1-2).

The Buckeyes were coming off an impressive 52-35 win over No. 17 Marquette in Milwaukee on Saturday.

The 35 points were the fewest the Buckeyes have ever allowed against a ranked opponent.

Dayton hands Tech first loss ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Devin Oliver and

Jordan Sibert each scored 20 points, Vee Sanford added 15 and Dayton beat Georgia Tech 82-72 on Wednesday night.

Dayton (4-0) maximized its chances on Georgia Techâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 19 miscues to outscore the Yellow Jackets 33-6 on turnovers.

Daniel Miller finished with 20 points and Marcus GeorgesHunt had 16 for Georgia Tech (3-1).

Sibert, a junior transfer from Ohio State, began his career at Dayton with a buzzerbeating 3 that gave the Flyers a victory over Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne in the opener.

Over the last seven seasons, the Flyers have won 20 of their last 39 games against major conferences.

Beating Georgia Tech gave Dayton, which plays in the Atlantic 10, five straight wins over Atlantic Coast Conference opponents.

and reached the World Series in 2012, while Texas won the AL pennant in 2010 and 2011.

But neither team was about to stand pat. With stars like Fielder, Justin Verlander, Miguel Cabrera and Anibal Sanchez in the fold, Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s payroll had become one of the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest, and although Fielder hit 55 home runs over the last two years for the Tigers, his numbers dipped this season and he struggled in the playoffs when Detroit lost to Boston in

the AL championship series.

The trade could give Detroit more financial flexibility, with Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer a year from free agency.

Fielder, however, is still only 29, and the Rangers would be adding a big bat to the middle of their lineup while also resolving a logjam in the middle of their infield. Jurickson Profar, a highly touted 20-year-old prospect, appeared to be blocked

by Kinsler and shortstop Elvis

Andrus. Now Profar should have a chance to play regularly.

The Tigers signed Fielder to a huge contract shortly before spring training in 2012 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after designated hitter Victor Martinez injured his knee.

Martinez came back in 2013.

With Fielder gone, Cabrera may move from third base back to first.

Kinsler fills a need at second base for Detroit after Omar Infante became a free agent.

OSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roby to turn pro COLUMBUS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; All-Big Ten cornerback Bradley Roby will join Ohio Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seniors in playing their final home game on Saturday against Indiana.

Coach Urban Meyer said Wednesday night

that the fourth-year junior has decided to make himself available for the NFL draft next spring.

Roby, a 5-foot-11, 192-pounder from Suwanee, Ga., has 155 tackles in 33 games for the Buckeyes, with

seven tackles for a loss, eight interceptions, one blocked kick, a fumble recovery and a fumble caused.

In confirming Roby would give up his final year of eligibility, Meyer said it was too much to

Brownsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Little sorry for role in NC mess BEREA, Ohio (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Browns wide receiver Greg Little finally acknowledged he harmed others with his actions that led to a scandal and NCAA violations at North Carolina.

Little was one of three former Tar Heels football players who were sent letters of â&#x20AC;&#x153;permanent disassociationâ&#x20AC;? by the school. Little, Marvin Austin and Robert Quinn accepted improper benefits, including cash and travel accommodations, leading to sanctions against the program and recent criminal charges against five people for violating the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Uniform Athlete Agents Act. Little said he has not seen the letter, and was told about it by his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.

However, the third-year pro conveyed remorse for his involvement and accepted some responsibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been some wrongful accusing,â&#x20AC;? Little said Wednesday before practice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of

people that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve hurt, and I think a lot of the blame should be put on me much less than attacking other people.â&#x20AC;?

The letters, which were dated Nov. 15, prohibit Little and the others from contacting UNC athletes, bars them from campus athletic facilities and bans them from providing recruiting or financial assistance for athletics.

Little was declared permanently ineligible by the NCAA, which levied sanctions against UNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football program. In the past, Little has said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be a distraction to the school and always came short of saying he was accountable for any of the problems he may have caused.

Little, drafted by the Browns in the second round in 2011, is proud to be a Tar Heel. He often wears Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colors inside the Brownsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; facility and loves to talk about his days at the school.

And despite North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

ban, Little vowed to support his alma mater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great university and I wish things werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the way they were, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just continue to support them from afar,â&#x20AC;? said Little, who has 29 catches for 344 yards this season.

The disassociation letters came after documents from the investigation by the North Carolina Secretary of Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office outlined numerous violations such as Little and Austin arranging to receive packages of cash through the mail or a third party. In Littleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, he told investigators he received more than $20,000 in 2010 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including a $2,200 monthly allowance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; according to a June search warrant.

Little said he has spoken to officials and was told he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be charged with any criminal wrongdoing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I met with the state of North Carolina a little while ago,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said nothing legal will ever be brought up on you.â&#x20AC;?

Wizards whip Cavs CLEVELAND (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bradley Beal scored 26 points and Nene added 24, leading the Washington Wizards to a 98-91 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.

John Wall and Martell Webster both scored 15 points for Washington, which took control early and held off Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late charge.

The Wizards led by double figures midway through the first quarter, were ahead 56-38 at halftime, and pushed the margin to 27 points in the third quarter.

Cleveland trailed 86-71 midway through the fourth before Kyrie Irving scored 11 straight points to cut the deficit to four points with 2:56 remaining.

Marcin Gortatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two free throws with 1:16 left extended the lead to 92-86, and Beal added two free throws with 32.8 seconds remaining to put the game away.

Irving scored 28 points, including 18 in the final period, to lead Cleveland, which has dropped four of five.

Washington, which broke a four-game losing streak on Tuesday by rallying from a 16-point deficit to defeat Minnesota, has won two straight for the second time this season. The Cavaliers beat the Wizards in overtime on Saturday when Irving matched his career high with 41 points.

Washington raced to a 21-9 lead in the rematch, forcing Cleveland coach Mike Brown to use two timeouts in the first seven minutes. The Wizards built a 14-point lead and shot 13 of 26 in the quarter.

The margin reached 50-32 on Wallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-point play with 3:15 remaining in the second quarter, marking the first and only time the Wizards went to the foul line in the first half.

Washington built a 73-46 lead midway through the third quarter before the Cavaliers reserves cut into the margin.
