Nation marks anniversary of JFK death Deputies to be out in force through end of November FREMONT — The Sandusky County Sheriff’s Office will have extra patrols through Nov. 30. Overtime shifts will be scheduled in an attempt to promote safety among drivers, as well as draw awareness to the other traffic on the roadways during Thanksgiving season. The deputies assigned to the over time duties will work different shifts through the end of the month, according to a press release. The deputies will enforce all traffic laws, with emphasis on OVI and speed enforcement. The overtime is a part of a grant received by the Sandusky County Sheriff’s Office from the Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services Traffic Safety Section.

Ceremonies somber across the country JAMIE STENGLE NOMAAN MERCHANT Associated Press

DALLAS — From a street in downtown Dallas to the shores of Cape Cod, a somber nation paused Friday to remember John F. Kennedy 50 years after the young, handsome president was gunned down in an open-top limousine. A half-century later, the assassination still stirs quiet sadness in the baby boom generation that remembers it as the beginning of a darker, more cynical time. The anniversary ceremonies reflected that solemnity, with moments of silence, speeches by historians and, above all, simple reverence for a time and a leader long gone. “A new era dawned and another waned a half-century ago, when hope and hatred collided right here

in Dallas,” Mayor Mike Rawlings said at the largest memorial service, in Dealey Plaza, the scene of the Nov. 22, 1963, shooting. “We watched the nightmarish reality in our front yard. Our president had been taken from us, taken from his family, taken from the world.” Rawlings told about 5,000 people gathered under gray skies in near-freezing temperatures that the slaying prompted Dallas to “turn civic heartbreak into hard work” and helped the city to mature. Kennedy “and our city will forever be linked in tragedy, yes,” he said. “But out of tragedy, an opportunity was granted to us how to face the future when it’s the Jacquelyn Martin | AP darkest and uncertain.” Members of the Kennedy family, including former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Rawlings unveiled a plaque with Jean Kennedy Smith, fourth from left, hold hands Friday as they pay their See JFK | 2

respects at the gravesite of President John F. Kennedy at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va., on the 50th anniversary of Kennedy’s death.

Afghan president rebuffs US troop deadline PATRICK QUINN Associated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghanistan’s president on Friday rebuffed American demands that he sign a security pact allowing U.S. forces to stay in the country for another decade, while the U.S. defense secretary warns that planning for a post-2014 military presence may be jeopardized if the deal isn’t finalized by the end of the year. The stakes are high as Afghan tribal elders and other regional leaders met behind closed doors for a second day to debate the draft agreement seen as necessary to enable thousands of American soldiers to stay beyond a 2014 deadline primarily to train and mentor government security forces who are still struggling to face a resilient Taliban insurgency on their own. Karzai stunned the U.S. when he urged delegates on Thursday’s opening day of the consultative council known as the Loya Jirga to approve the security pact, but said he will leave it to his successor to sign it after the April 5 elections.

Afghan soldiers stand guard Friday in an area as security tightens in the Afghan capital, Kabul, where thousands of delegates from different groups meet for the Loya Jirga, or the consultative council in Kabul, Afghanistan. President Hamid Karzai urged tribal elders Thursday to approve a security pact with Washington that could keep thousands of U.S. troops in Afghanistan until 2024.

His spokesman, Aimal Faizi, stuck to that stance on Friday despite U.S. pleas, saying “there is no deadline for us except what the president said in his speech.” The Obama administration has said it will pull all its forces out of Afghanistan without a

security deal, as it did when Iraq failed to sign a similar agreement. The U.S. invaded Afghanistan following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to go after alQaida, which was being sheltered by the Taliban. The longest and costliest war in U.S. history

has proven deeply unpopular at home and among its allies, who also have said they will not commit any troops after 2014 unless the security deal is signed. U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Friday he can’t recommend that President Barack Obama continue planning for a post-2014 force in Afghanistan unless Afghan leaders promptly sign the security agreement. Hagel said that without an agreement the U.S. will have no clear understanding of what the Afghan people want, what an acceptable role for U.S. forces will be or how to carry out that mission. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Karzai agreed earlier this week to the language of the agreement, which would remain in force until the end of 2024 and beyond, unless terminated by mutual agreement or by either party with two years’ written notice. The draft agreement gives the U.S. legal jurisdiction over troops and Defense Department civilians who may get in trouble, despite deep divisions in Afghanistan over whether the Americans should have immunity.

Annual Lights of Love project set at The Bellevue Hospital The Bellevue Hospital Foundation is once again sponsoring the annual Lights of Love at TBH. Donations are now being accepted to purchase a Light of Love in honor or in memory of a loved one. Donors can also purchase a personalized red heart keepsake ornament in honor or memory of a loved one. “The 28th annual event is a time when community members may lovingly remember those special individu-

als who have touched their hearts,” said Kate Herring, Foundation Director. “Cost of each light is $5 while the cost of the keepsake ornament (which includes a Light of Love on the tree) will be $15, and all proceeds will benefit the Foundation’s charitable projects.” The Lights of Love tree will be on display at TBH beginning the first week of December and continuing through the holiday season. The trees will be displayed in the

Main Entrance hallway and will feature white lights changing to red lights of love bulbs as purchases are made in honor or memory of a loved one. Lights of Love or keepsake ornament orders can be made at any time through the holiday season. Checks should be made payable to The Bellevue Hospital Foundation. Forms are available at TBH’s Gift Shop, by contacting TBH Administration at

‘Talk of a Lifetime’ brochure available People talk about many things with their loved ones: from day-to-day details to big events. Sharing stories with those who matter most isn’t just important today; it will be especially significant when it’s time to commemorate a life. Foos & Foos Funeral Home has announced its participation in “Have the Talk of a Lifetime”SM, a national effort to encourage families to have conversations about life and what matters most. These discussions can help families make important decisions about how they wish to remember and honor the lives of their loved ones. Through meaningful memorialization – that is, taking time to reflect on the unique life of a loved one and remember the difference they made – families and friends take an important step in the journey toward healing after death. Individuals and their families have more options than even before for memorializing their loved one at the end of life. From simple to very elaborate, there are a variety of ways a family can honor their loved one in a personal and meaningful way. “Memorialization is so much more than it used to be,” said Lisa Critelli, marketing director. “It can reflect

a person’s life story – their values, interests and experiences – and be transformative, healing and comforting. Meaningful memorialization starts when loved ones talk about what matters most: memories made, lessons learned and how they hope to be remembered.” Foos & Foos Funeral Home is offering individuals and families in the community of Bellevue a free brochure, Have the Talk of a Lifetime, that will help them begin a conversation about life. “It’s not easy to talk about death,” said Critelli. “I think this brochure will be particularly helpful because it focuses on life, rather than the details of a service. Its life stories – family vacations, pieces of advice, favorite pastimes – that will help you remember those who matter most and begin to heal after they die.” Call Foos & Foos Funeral Home at 419-483-5484 or stop by the office located at 151 Yorkshire Place, Bellevue, to request a free copy of the brochure. “We are here to support and encourage people as they ‘have the talk’ with their loved ones,” said Critelli. “Please call us if we can help you or if we can provide additional information about your memorialization options.”

Participants can also order their Lights of Love by enclosing a check or money order and the following information: name, address, city, state, zip, how many lights ordered (at $5 each), how many ornaments ($15 each) and in honor or memory of whom. Send payment and information to TBH Foundation, 1400 W. Main St., Bellevue, OH 44811.

About an hour later, Jean Kennedy Smith, 85, the last surviving Kennedy sibling, laid a wreath at her brother’s grave, joined by about 10 members of the Kennedy family. They clasped hands for a short, silent prayer and left roses as a few hundred onlookers watched. In Dallas, the bitter weather was far different from the bright sunshine that filled the day Kennedy died.

BRANDON, Fla. — Kevin Lee Wickman, 45, passed away on Saturday, Nov. 16, 2013, after a courageous battle with lung and brain cancer. Kevin was born in Bellevue on March 2, 1967.

He lived most of his adult life in Florida. Kevin is survived by his son, Justin Furney and grandson, Liam, along with their family, Bonni

Opinion

WHAT OUR READERS SAY

Thanks, Bellevue, for support To the Editor: On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I want to thank the community of Bellevue for their generous support during the 2013-14 Bellevue United Selective Fund and helping us to surpass our goal. This community over the years has been a very caring and concerned community when it comes to helping your neighbor and those in need. In these uncertain economic times, it is refreshing to see ‘neighbors helping neighbors’ in Bellevue. And the most rewarding aspect of this annual fund drive is the money raised goes to help Bellevue Charities chosen by the donors. There are just too many people to try and remember to thank for this fund year and I do appreciate all who helped and acted as co-chairs. I do want to thank Chairman Steve Wasserman and Erica Hager from the Firelands Federal Credit Union for heading up this years’ campaign. I really appreciate their leadership and relentless work toward achieving the Drive goal of $165,000. Steve and Erica had a number of co-chairs who worked

tirelessly as well and I do appreciate their efforts too. I would also like to recognize the following companies in our community that have always stepped up during our fund drive to lead the way. Namely, Bunge, International Metal Hose, Norfolk and Southern Corporation, The Bellevue Hospital, the American Baler Co., Mitsubishi Chemical, Bellevue Manufacturing, Firelands Federal Credit Union, First National Bank, Bellevue City Schools, City of Bellevue and AFSCME Ohio Council 8, First Energy Foundation, Great Lakes Packers, Janotta and Herner, Croghan Colonial Bank. And for all the businesses and companies in Bellevue who encourage participation in this campaign. I also need to recognize Diane Sabo and Bonnie Ball for heading our neighborhood campaign for a job well done. Thanks also go out to The Bellevue Hospital and staff for hosting our meetings and lunches, your generosity is greatly appreciated as well. I don’t want to forget Becky Brooks of the Bellevue Gazette for

their continuing great coverage throughout the six-week campaign and beyond. Lastly, many thanks to my Board of Trustees for their direction, leadership and dedication all year long. They are Bob Birr, Glenn Cunningham, Deborah Hawkins, Judy Journay, Jeremiah Ray, Charles Sabo and Rose Marie Sartor. As a reminder, there are no paid positions with the BUSF as the Board of Trustees and all who volunteer their time and talents each year do so because they care about their community and helping others. All donations pledged will be fully disbursed to these 501C3 organizations to help those in need around our community. Tax deductible contributions are still being accepted. If you are interested to pledge, contact Steve or Erica at FFCU 419-483-4180, Trustee Rose Sartor at 419-4835670 (Cunningham and Associates), or myself at Croghan Colonial Bank 419-483-6108. Dave Sabo, President Bellevue United Selective Fund (BUSF)

Boosters’ pie sale successful Dear Bellevue Community, The Bellevue Music Boosters would like to express their appreciation for the community’s recent support of their seventh annual pie sale. Over 130 volunteers helped to make 1,018 pies in four hours and 45 minutes. The proceeds from this event benefit our entire K-12 music program. We would like to especially thank Bassett’s Market and their staff

for assisting us in several ways with this project. Root’s Poultry supported our efforts for the seventh year. This endeavor would not be possible without the help of JES Foods and Eshleman Fruit Farms. We thank The Bellevue Gazette, The Norwalk Reflector and The Sandusky Register for their assistance with advertising this event. Thank you to St. Paul’s UCC Church and

Heidelberg lab collaborating on grant to study algal blooms in Lake Erie TIFFIN — The National Center for Water Quality Research at Heidelberg University is a collaborator in a major grant from the U.S. EPA that will study the causes of harmful algal blooms and low oxygen levels in Lake Erie, both of which are seriously threatening the lake’s ecosystem and the regional economy. According to the EPA, the $500,000 Great Lakes Restoration Initiative grant will fund crucial scientific work to answer questions about the role of nutrients, such as phosphorus, in the development of harmful algal blooms that occur in western Lake Erie. “The answers to these questions will help target efforts to protect the western basin and to restore the entire Lake Erie ecosystem, said Susan Hedman, EPA Region Five administrator/Great Lakes National Program manager. The project, titled “A s s e s s m e n t of Nutrient/Eutrophication Dynamics in Western Lake Erie,” will be headed up by the Ohio Lake Erie Commission. Heidelberg’s share of the award will be $95,000 over two years, said Dr. Kenneth Krieger, director of the NCWQR. Research scientists Remegio Confesor, Laura Johnson and R. Peter Richards and a student will handle Heidelberg’s responsibilities with the grant. Other collaborators are

the University of Toledo, Case Western University, The Ohio State University and LimnoTech Inc., one of the country’s leading water sciences and environmental engineering consulting firms. With its extensive research and long-term and complex data sets, the NCWQR is well suit-

ed as a partner for the grant. The lab is a leader in surface and ground water research and monitoring in the Great Lakes region and beyond. Researchers regularly perform chemical analysis of freshwater samples, biological assessment of aquatic communities and watershed modeling.
