Anna schools evacuated Another bomb threat written on bathroom stall Kathy Leese ANNA — Anna Local School students had their day interrupted Thursday when a bomb threat evacuated the school. This was the second such threat in the district in approximately six weeks and the third in Shelby County during the same period. Anna Police Chief Scott Evans said a threat was written on the wall of a bathroom stall, stating “Bomb at high school and elementary.� A similar threat was found in the boys restroom of the high school in September, but noted a specific date when a bomb would detonate. A student was later charged in that crime. A similar incident occurred within days at Botkins High School and an eighth grade student was arrested. Both of those cases are pending in Shelby County Juvenile Court. Evans said that on Thursday stu-

dents in both the high and middle schools, which share the same building, were evacuated to the football field. Elementary school students were also evacuated and bused home for the day. “All the kids are safe. It was orderly,� Evans said. He noted the students “weren’t told anything� about the reason for the evacuation. “This is the most orderly chaos I’ve ever seen,� he said. Evans said he received a call about the threat around 1 p.m. and two officers responded to do a sweep of the buildings to ensure that everyone had left. As of Thursday afternoon, no suspects had been identified. Evans said he called in the Allen County Bomb Squad and also had called for assistance from the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, the Botkins and Jackson Center police departments, the Ohio State Highway Patrol and the Anna Fire Department and Anna Rescue. The investigation is continuing.

Solemn events to mark JFK’s death Jamie Stengle Associated Press

DALLAS (AP) — Loose gatherings of the curious and conspiracy-minded at Dallas’ Dealey Plaza have marked past anniversaries of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, featuring everything from makeshift memorials to marching drummers to discussions about who else might have been in on the killing. But in the place where the president’s motorcade passed through and shots rang out on Nov. 22, 1963, a solemn ceremony on the 50th anniversary of his death designed to avoid such distractions will include brief remarks by the mayor and the tolling of church bells. It’s an approach that

will be mirrored Friday in Boston, where the JFK Library and Museum will open a small exhibit of never-before-displayed items from Kennedy’s state funeral and host a musical tribute that will be closed to the public, and in Washington, where President Barack Obama will meet privately at the White House with leaders and volunteers from the Kennedy-established Peace Corps program. “It’s 50 years later and it’s also a moment to look forward to the future,� said Thomas Putnam, executive director of the library, which usually doesn’t observe the anniversary. “We want our tone to be respectful and we want it to have a certain reverence, but we See JFK | 3
