Daily Call reports JFK assassination; residents mourn Susan Hartley Group Editor shartley@civitasmedia

PIQUA — Fifty years ago today started out as any other day for Tom Barnett.

As managing editor of the Piqua Daily Call on Nov. 22, 1963, Barnett had “just put the paper to bed” that morning, and headed out the door for a quick drive home to grab some lunch. In those days the Daily Call was an afternoon edition and was printed on the Spring Street premises.

Barnett jumped into his car and turned on the radio, not realizing that

what he would next hear would change the course of his day — and history.

“I heard the news bulletin on the car radio,” he said of the assassination in Texas of the President of the United States. “I went around the block and pulled back into the Call parking lot.

I went back in to handle the wire.”

The news bulletin about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, published in the Daily Call that afternoon, soon came across the wire. The Call’s headline read, in all caps: “PRESIDENT IS KILLED BY ASSASSIN.” “We didn’t do anything

The above headline ran in the Piqua Daily Call on Nov. 22, 1963. Editors had to stop the presses and wait on a bulletin to come across the wire in order to report the killing of the nation’s president.

locally,” for the Friday afternoon paper, Barnett said. “We just wanted to get some sort of bulletin in.”

Barnett retired this past January as a reporter for the Sidney Daily News, after spending 68 years as a journalist. And

although the Call didn’t write local stories for the Nov. 22, 1963, edition of the paper, the days that followed included articles that tell the story of how Piqua residents gathered at many of the city’s churches and how other organizations gave trib-

ute to the slain president.

School children also participated in learning about JFK’s death by watching televised programming or listening to memorial events on the radio.

One article, published the day after the assas-

sination, Saturday, Nov. 23, 1963, states: “Tearful school children, flags at half staff and stunning disbelief gave silent testimony to a president’s death here Friday.”

PIQUA — The distance between Parkland Memorial Hospital and Love Field in Dallas, Texas, is a little over 7 miles in length.

Fifty years ago today the body of

the nation’s slain president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, rested in a bronze casket in the back of a 1964 Cadillac hearse as it made this very trip as a grieving First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy rode in the hearse’s passenger seat.

The hearse that made that sol-

emn trip from the hospital where the president had been declared dead to the tarmac at the airfield where Air Force One was ready to depart traces its roots directly to Piqua and was manufactured by the Miller-Meteor Co. See HEARSE | Page 5

PIQUA — For many, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963, evokes the same emotions today as it did 50 years ago. Such was the case for Charlotte Drake, a life-time Piqua resident and patron of the Easter Seals Adult Day Services on College St., as her eyes filled with tears while explaining how she had been in study hall at the time of the news.

In fact, Drake was a junior at the Piqua High School, the very location of the Day Services where she sat and recalled the shocking announcement of Kennedy’s death over the public address system.

“He was a good president, we miss him,” said Drake, who did not take the news well, neither did her fellow classmates, a mix of stunned silence and anguished emotions.

Drake would later go home and watch events unfold on television, emphasizing Kennedy’s passing seems so long ago and that she had wanted to be a part of the president’s newly established Peace Corps program.

“It was too shocking,” continued Drake. “I cried at home.”

Drake was not the only one at the Day Services to still feel the pivotal emotions of that day. Irene Prichett, a mother of five, had been in the middle of preparing dinner when the announcement of Kennedy’s death came across the television.

“I was standing at the kitchen stove, my youngest son was just learning to walk, when it came over the news,” said Prichett who turned off the stove and sat on the couch, dinner completely forgotten. “It took my breath away. We just sat, watched the television, and talked about it. I don’t think any of us slept much that night.”

Thelma Putnam expressed similar sentiments, she had been 45 years old with a married daughter and three sons. Much like Prichett, she had been tending to the home, ironing as she watched television, when news came across of the assassination.

“It was a shock,” said Putnam. “The first thing I thought of, he’d just settled

Castro and we were going to have it a lot better here in this country —it never got to happen.”

Putnam says the assassination stopped everything and “was the news all over the world.”

Jim Wheeler, of Piqua, a driver for the Day Services and a former Piqua Daily Call carrier in the late 50s and early 60s, remembers being at work when someone came in with the news.

“I thought it was a joke,” recalls Wheeler, an employee at Troy’s Hobarts and that it feels like the tragic events of that day happened only yesterday, with everyone becoming very quiet upon the news. “I thought, that’s not true, nobody does that!”

Gov’t weighs permitting cellphone calls on planes Joan Lowy

Associated Press

Scott Mayerowitz Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rules against making cellphone calls during airline flights are “outdated,” and it’s time to change them, federal regulators said Thursday, drawing immediate howls of protest from flight attendants, airline officials and others.

Tom Wheeler, the new chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, said in a statement that the commission was proposing greater in-flight access to mobile broadband. The proposal will be considered at the commission’s Dec. 12 meeting.

“The time is right to review our outdated and restrictive rules,” Wheeler said, adding that modern technologies can deliver mobile services in the air safely and reliably.

The proposal would also allow passengers to use their smartphones to send email, text and download data. The proposal would apply to flights when they are over 10,000 feet in altitude, but not during takeoffs and landings.

The move came just 16 days after Wheeler, a former lobbyist for the cellular telephone industry, took over the post of FCC chairman. The proposal to ease cellphone restrictions was greeted enthusiastically by the Te l e c o m m u n i c a t i o n s Industry Association.

The association “supports initiatives to make mobile broadband services, including Internet access, available to passengers and flight crews aboard commercial airliners and private aircraft,” Grant Seiffert, president of the trade group, said.

“Already, substantial (information and communications technology) manufacturer and vendor interest exists in this space, and our members are investing in related opportunities for growth internationally.”

But early reaction from the airline industry and labor unions was skeptical. Flight attendants and others have worried that a plane full of chattering passengers could lead to arguments and undermine safety.

“Passengers overwhelmingly reject cellphone use in the aircraft cabin. The FCC should not proceed with this proposal,” the Association of Flight Attendants said in a statement in response to the FCC chairman’s comments.

“In far too many operational scenarios, passengers making phone calls could extend beyond a mere nuisance, creating negative effects on aviation safety and security that are great and far too risky,” the flight attendants group said.

“Our customer feedback indicates people may not want that policy, but of course tastes and desires change,” JetBlue spokesman Morgan

Johnston said in an email.

“We would prioritize making the cabin comfortable and welcoming for all — for those who want cell service and for those who like peace and quiet.”

Henry H. Harteveldt, a travel analyst with Hudson Crossing, said, “There are bad ideas, and then there’s this.”

“Unlike the ability to use their personal electronics and Wi-Fi from gate to gate, passengers don’t want this,” he added. “The constant chatter of passengers on their mobile phones has the potential to further increase tension among already stressed-out passengers. It will be a catalyst for increased cases of ‘air rage.’”

Airline pilot and blogger Patrick Smith said permitting phone calls on planes “introduces yet another stress factor into an already stressful environment.”

“Airports already are such loud places,” he said. “It’s the airplane itself, ironically, that is often the most quiet and peaceful part of the air travel experience. Is that about to change?”

Should the FCC lift its restrictions on cellphone use, airlines would still have the option of deciding whether to equip planes with picocells — small, satellite base stations — to handle calls. American Airlines spokeswoman Andrea Huguely said the airline will wait to see what the

FCC does. “However, our Wi-Fi at this time doesn’t allow voice calls.”

In October, the Federal Aviation Administration lifted restrictions on the use of most personal electronic devices during takeoffs and landings, but not cellphone calls, which fall under the FCC. The FAA based its decision to ease restrictions on electronic devices on recommendations from an industry advisory group, which said use of tablets, music players and other devices doesn’t cause dangerous electronic interfere with navigation systems on modern airliners. Passengers are supposed to put the devices on “airplane mode.” The same advisory group also recommended that the FCC review its restrictions on phone calls.

The FCC proposal is primarily a response to the advisory group’s recommendation, said an FCC spokesman, who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to release the information in his own name.

If the agency decides to move ahead with the proposal, it would be just the first step in a long rulemaking process that includes soliciting public comment. Also, the FAA, which regulates equipment airlines add to their planes, would probably have a say on whether plane should be retrofitted with picocells, the spokesman said.

as America’s protecting power in North Korea because Washington and Pyongyang don’t have official diplomatic relations.

For the U.S. government to acknowledge that someone is being held, a consular official must see the detainee and confirm the identity. In this case, since Sweden is the diplomatic intermediary for the U.S. in North Korea, one of its officials needs to see Newman.

The State Department this week revised its travel warning for North Korea to advise all U.S. citizens against going there, saying it had received reports of authorities “arbitrarily detaining U.S. citizens and not allowing them to depart the country.”

Although travel to North Korea is not common, Americans have been making the trip in increasing numbers since the country opened itself up to American tourism two years ago, said Jenny Town, assistant director of the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.

“Tourism is on the rise, especially of Americans, because it’s such an isolated state. People are kind of fascinated by the novelty of going somewhere where no one else has gone,” she said.

Travel to the country is arranged through tour companies that have local guides receive tourists and help them get around, Town said. There is no North Korean consulate in the United States, so visas are obtained abroad, often in Beijing.

But entering the country legally without a tour company would be almost impossible, since North Korea requires tourists to be accompanied by guides, Town said.

Merrill Newman was

traveling with a friend, Bob Hamrdla, who was allowed to return to the U.S., but it was not immediately known if the two men arranged their visit to North Korea through a tour company or on their own.

Newman’s son said that he heard from Hamrdla that before his father was detained he had had a “difficult” discussion with North Korean officials about his experiences during the 1950-53 war between U.S.-led United Nations forces and North Korea and ally China.

That war ended in an armistice, not a peace treaty, leaving the Korean Peninsula still technically at war.

Another U.S. veteran of the Korean War named Merrill Newman was awarded the Silver Star in 1952 for leading his Marine platoon in a series of attacks that inflicted heavy casualties on North Korean troops and for taking effective defensive actions during a massive counter-attack, according to the Military Times.

Jeffrey Newman told the San Jose Mercury News there is no indication North Korean authorities have confused his father with the other Merrill Newman, who is now 84 and lives in Oregon.

He said his father always wanted to visit North Korea and took lessons in the language before leaving on the nine-day trip. He said he believed North Korea would eventually release his father after realizing that all they have is an “elderly traveler, a grandfather with a heart condition.”

Korean War veteran Thomas Hudner, a retired Navy captain and Medal of Honor winner, went to North Korea in July to fulfill a promise he said he made 60 years ago to

recover the remains of a pilot who was trapped in his downed fighter jet.

While in North Korea, Hudner “didn’t mention the war at all” and had no complaints about how he was treated.

“We wanted to maintain as close of relations as we could and we think we accomplished that,” he said. “They were very business-like and helpful.”

Christine Hong, an assistant professor of East Asian studies at the University of California at Santa Cruz, said Westerners visit North Korea for several reasons: missionary or charity work, research, family reunification, stealth journalism to expose problems, adventure tourism, and business ventures.

Hong, who first visited North Korea with a peace delegation in 2008 and again this year to do child welfare research, called the situation with Newman “unfortunate because it leads people to jump to the worst possible conclusions” and “exacerbates the existing condition of fear and uncertainty.”

North Korea has detained at least six Americans since 2009, often for alleged missionary work, but it is unusual for a tourist to be arrested.

It remains unclear what led to Newman’s detention Oct. 26. A uniformed North Korean officer approached him on the plane and asked him for his passport before telling a flight attendant that Newman had to leave, the son, Jeffrey Newman, said Wednesday.

North Korea’s official state-run media have yet to comment on reports of the detention, which first appeared in the San Jose Mercury News and Japan’s Kyodo News service.

COLUMBUS– The Ohio Senate recently passed Senate Bill 69, sponsored by Senator Bill Beagle (R–Tipp City), which seeks to streamline and maximize the Course and Program Sharing Network.

Program Share, as it is commonly known, allows colleges, universities, and adult career centers to share existing programs with one another in order to save on costs of establishing a program from scratch.

The goal of the program is help the state’s higher education system respond more quickly to changes in workforce demand experienced on the regional or state level.

“Every day, the economy changes and places new demands on the state’s workforce,” Beagle said. “We need to do everything in our power to address these changes through education initiatives and make certain our workforce is prepared for job openings across the state.

This is a program about matching job seekers with companies in need of new talent and skills.”

The legislation would move the administration of Program Share from its current location with a brokering partner to the Ohio Board of Regents and provide incentive funding to encourage the development of program sharing agreements between schools. This new model works to reduce administrative costs and allow revenue generated to be divided entirely between the two participating schools.

S e n at e Bill 69 will now proceed to the Ohio House of Representatives for further consideration.

Ex-AP writer recalls serving as Oswald pallbearer Mike Cochran Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — On a gloomy November afternoon, I helped carry the inexpensive wooden casket of Lee Harvey Oswald to a grave on a slight rise dotted with dying grass.

With no mourners around to serve as pallbearers, it was a task that fell to me and a few other reporters covering the funeral of John F. Kennedy’s assassin. Fifty years later, I remain a reluctant and minor footnote in American history.

It was a story that began with a tip: Oswald would be buried at Rose Hill Cemetery in Fort Worth, where he had spent part of his childhood, just one day after nightclub owner Jack Ruby shot and killed him during a jail transfer on Nov. 24, 1963, itself just two days after Kennedy’s death.

As the Fort Worth correspondent for The Associated Press, I drew the assignment.

I arrived to discover dozens of police and federal agents, writers

and photographers, but no mourners waiting to bid Oswald goodbye or good riddance. A police escort delivered Oswald’s casket in the early afternoon. Much later, officers arrived with his family: mother Marguerite, brother Robert, widow Marina and her two daughters, June Lee, 2, and infant Rachel.

No one else would follow; even the minister failed to show. Shaking his head ever so slightly, Jerry Flemmons of the Fort Worth StarTelegram turned to me and said, “Cochran, if we’re gonna write a story about the burial of Lee Harvey Oswald, we’re gonna have to bury the son of a bitch ourselves.”

Sure enough, officials asked the gathered reporters to serve as pallbearers. I was among the first they asked, my reply not just “No!” but “Hell no!” Then Preston McGraw of United Press International stepped forward and volunteered, and with my top competition for scoops accepting the duty, I realized my error and joined McGraw and other reporters.

The ceremony itself was as brief as it was simple. The Rev. Louis Saunders, executive secretary of the Fort Worth Council of Churches, had been drafted to fill in for the missing minister. His words — “we are not here to judge, only to commit for burial Lee Harvey Oswald” — were barely audible, mingled with muffled sobs by Oswald’s mother and widow.

Her eyes red and swollen, Marina Oswald stepped beside her husband’s casket and quietly whispered something.

Not long after the nation’s slain president was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery with tearful family members and millions of television viewers around the world looking on, Oswald’s body was lowered into his grave at 4:28 p.m.

For years, I would continue to report on the assassination, interviewing Oswald’s mother, investigating conspiracy theories and writing stories on the anniversary of that dreadful day in Dallas.

For one of the first of those

anniversary stories, I wanted to interview Oswald’s widow. She had remarried, moved to suburban Dallas and rarely spoke to reporters.

Her new husband had reportedly brandished a pistol and chased one writer away.

Early on a cloudy November morning, I staked out their house and trudged up the steps after he left for work. I had not called ahead, but identified myself as an AP reporter when Marina Oswald opened the door.

“I am no longer news,” she said, making it clear she did not intend to talk with me.

She was slim and blonde, with arresting eyes of an intense bluegreen and a distinctive Russian accent. She was 24 and I must have stared like a smitten dolt.

“Is something wrong?” she asked.

Embarrassed, I babbled something about not having seen her since that day at Rose Hill.

“You were there?” she asked. I told her I was a pallbearer.

Surprised, she said the least she

could do was invite me in for coffee.

Several hours later, we were still talking and smoking. Denied cigarettes by Oswald during their marriage, she was now a chain smoker.

“Have you ever tried to analyze yourself?” she asked me at one point, then added: “It’s very hard to do.”

Asked about the Warren Commission’s conclusion that her husband was the lone assassin, she said: “I think about it a lot. I try to forget. It is very difficult. It is like a nightmare. … I have nightmares.”

Years later, in 1983, when working on a story about the 20th anniversary, I interviewed Marina Oswald for the second and last time. She was no less candid and still a heavy smoker.

“For a while I thought it would all blow over, just go away,” she said.

“But now I accept the fact that I must live with this the rest of my life.

“I may still be naive, but I’m not stupid.”

Editor’s Note: Mike Cochran was AP’s Fort Worth correspondent in 1963 and retired from the company in 1999.

Solemn events to mark JFK’s assassination 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

Call

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 also want it to be hopeful and end on this notion of what JFK stood for.”

The committee convened by current Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings to plan the city’s event wanted to focus

From page 1 early that Friday, recalls Jim Oda, Piqua Public Library Director, who was a seventhgrader at Wilder in November 1963.

Oda said he was sitting in social studies class when the principal made the announcement over the loud speaker.

“I remember my teacher crying,” Oda Jim Oda said. “It hit me then how important that it (the assassination) was. An adult crying.”

Other news the Daily Call reported carried specific details from the many memorial ser-

vices that were held beginning Saturday, Nov. 23, 1963, and continuing through the next few days.

One such memorial was prayer service held in Piqua’s public square by the Schnell-Westfall American Legion post.

According to the Call, prayers were offered by Ft. Norbert Adelman of St. Boniface Catholic Church and by the Rev. Keith Huttenlocker of the Church of God. Also on Sunday, Nov. 24, 1963, the congregation of Temple Anshe Emeth gathered

Local From page 1 But out of the tragedy arose a political awareness and desire to learn more, he noted.

“When you’re 20 years old, you’re not really wrapped up in politics, but this encouraged a lot of 20-year-olds, people in my fraternity and others on campus, to be involved with wanting to learn more, to follow the whole political process and understand what was going on,” he said.

Former Piqua High School teacher Chuck Asher, then at Euclid High in the Cleveland area, said the atmosphere was “unbelievably quiet” after students and teachers received news of the president’s death.

“People just couldn’t believe that this had happened to the president, who was extremely popular with both young and old,” Asher said. “It wasn’t too long before the school decided to dismiss around 12:30 p.m.”

As a U.S. history teacher, Asher had discussed previous presidential assassinations in class, but this was the first one that resonated among his students.

“I think it was hard for them to fathom that such a thing could hap-

“in a positive way more on the legacy of President Kennedy,” said Ron Kirk, a former mayor and member of the panel.

About 5,000 tickets were issued for the free ceremony in Dealey Plaza, which is flanked by the Texas School Book Depository building where sniper Lee Harvey Oswald perched on the sixth floor in 1963.

Friday’s event will include readings from the president’s speeches by author David McCullough. In a nod to Kennedy’s military service, the U.S. Naval Academy Men’s Glee Club will sing “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” and there will be an Air Force flyover.

A moment of silence will be held at 12:30 p.m., when the president was shot.

There was no shortage of events in Dallas this year marking the anniversary,

including panels with journalists and others who witnessed the events of the day, special concerts and museum exhibits.

As press aide for Texas Gov. John Connally, Julian Read was in a media bus several vehicles behind the presidential limousine. After the gunshots, he watched as the vehicle carrying the president and wounded governor sped away. Read released a book this year recounting his experience and has attended several of the events, which he called cathartic.

“Even though there are all those melancholy thoughts, the way it’s shaping up … gives me more of a comfort than any time since 1963,” said Read, who will return to Dealey Plaza on Friday.

John Judge, executive director of the Coalition on Political Assassinations,

for a special service with Rabbi Jerry Fisher offering prayers.

And, special masses were held at St. Boniface and St. Mary parishes.

On Monday, a nationwide mourning for JFK was declared, and Piqua joined in, with “city offices and many stores and industries also closed from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., hours of the State funeral for the nation’s 35th president,” the Call reported.

During a Sunday memorial service in Piqua, then-Mayor Jack Wilson said: “We are gathered here today, not just as Piquads or Ohioans, but as

first came to Dealey Plaza to mark the fifth anniversary of JFK’s death in 1968.

Judge’s group, which believes Kennedy’s death was part of a conspiracy, usually gathers on the plaza’s “grassy knoll” for a moment of silence at 12:30 p.m. Since it’ll be blocked off this year, Judge says he’s reached a “livable” agreement with the city in which they’ll gather a few blocks away and move to the plaza after the official ceremony ends.

The group has made T-shirts for the occasion with the slogan, “50 years in denial is enough” and an image like that of Kennedy on the half-dollar coin, except with a bullet hole in his head and blood.

“It was meant to be shocking because we think that not solving his murder was shocking,” Judge said. He added about 10 members of

his group will attend the official ceremony.

Other events being held Friday in Dallas include a ceremony at Parkland Memorial Hospital, where Kennedy was declared dead, to lower the U.S. flag to half-staff. In Fort Worth, the city’s Chamber of Commerce will host a breakfast at the hotel where Kennedy gave his last speech and spent the last night of his life.

In Boston, the private musical tribute will feature Paul Winter, who performed at the White House with his jazz sextet during Kennedy’s presidency, along with a U.S. Navy choir and James Taylor. Other notable guests at the event, which will be streamed on the library’s website, include Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, who is scheduled to read quotes from Kennedy’s speeches.

pen in America,” he said. “ They ’d heard about Lincoln and Garfield, but that didn’t register with them like it did on this particular day. It sent shock waves through the young people.”

Asher’s first action upon learning of JFK’s killing was to phone home.

On the receiving end of that call was Jo Ann Asher, a teacher who had taken a break to be a stay-at-home mom.

Later, she would teach in Piqua, including numerous years at High Street. She was home with her younger child when she learned that the president had been shot.

“My little daughter was taking a nap, so I didn’t have the TV on,” she recalled. “My son was in the second grade and he came home early that day. The teacher had given them the primary-school paper with the big lines and had them all print ‘President Kennedy was shot today.’ I still have that paper around here somewhere. I can still see it in my mind.

“It was such a shock.

It was such a sad day.

We all sat around very mournfully.”

From page 1 At the time, Piqua’s own MillerMeteor Co., formerly known as the Meteor Motor Car Co., produced luxury cars, ambulances and funeral coaches while they were in business between 1913 and the mid-70s.

Piqua Public Library director and noted historian Jim Oda said in an interview last year that Miller-Meteor hearses played a very important, albeit underrated, part in history.

“We don’t talk about funerals much, but here a fallen president was carried in a Piqua-made product and became a part of the Kennedy legend,” Oda said.

The JFK hearse was built locally and was later displayed during the National Funeral Home Directors Association Convention in Dallas in 1963 prior to the assassination. At the end of that convention the O’Neal Funeral Home in Dallas purchased the hearse.

Memories

After the assassination the funeral home was asked for a hearse in order to transport the president’s body.

In 2012, the hearse was sold by an Arizona auction house for $176,000 and was purchased by Colorado real estate developer Stephen Tebo, an avid car collector and owner of more than 400 cars, many of which have either a historical or pop culture connection.

Tebo maintains a private collection of automobiles, but told the Associated Press in an interview last year he hopes to open his collection, including the hearse, to the public in the future.

The previous owner of the iconic hearse was a former employee of the funeral home, who had the vehicle for four decades before deciding to sell it.

“It’s one of the most significant and historical vehicles ever offered for sale, said Steve Davis, the president of the

Tony Karsnia, a founding member and past president of the MillerMeteor Chapter of the Professional Car Society, said he and fellow members have gone to great lengths not only to preserve the history of the Piqua company, but also celebrate it.

Karsnia, of St. Paul, Minn., and fellow members held several reunions in the city of Piqua in the last decade, including their most recent one in 2009.

“It isn’t just that this hearse carried a slain president,” Karsnia said, “but it is a hearse that was hand-crafted by the people right there in your community.

I am certain that there are still people alive down there today who personally laid a hand on that car when they were building it.”

Sometimes odd is just odd The mother of a 4-yearold boy shared an interesting story with me the other day. At age 2, her son began chewing meat to the point where it became liquid, but would not swallow. The parents became worried and began attempting various means of persuading him to swallow. Nothing worked, which increased the parents’ anxiety and, likewise, the energy they put into the swallowing project.

Finally, the mother read a book of mine in which I describe a technique I developed called “The Doctor.”

It’s actually a modification of an approach to children developed by Milton Ericson, an outlier psychiatrist whose offbeat, creative work has never been given

its due in the mental health community.

Full disclosure: Whenever, in this column, I have written about this technique, mental health professionals have complained that it may well cause children to be anxious about real doctors.

To that, I can only say that over the perhaps 20 years that I’ve disseminated this recommendation concerning various problems involving young children, not one parent has ever reported that a child developed doctor anxiety. Furthermore, the “cure” rate of childhood fears, anxieties, and even major behavior problems has been remarkable.

The method involves simply telling the child in question that The Doctor

has said that the problem, him that you chew meat and whatever it is, is due to lack won’t swallow it. He told of sleep. Therefore, until us that this happens when the problem has completely a child isn’t getting enough disappeared sleep.

the story, the first of which is that if the parents’ had consulted a mental health professional, there is some likelihood the child would have become afflicted with a disorder of some sor t— sensory integration disorder, perhaps. When a problem becomes a disorder, it is rarely, if ever, cured in a day.

The second point is that the mother now realizes her anxiety was one reason — perhaps THE reason — why the problem worsened over a two-year period. When children develop problems, they need parents who are authoritative, not anxious.

Anxiety and authority are incompatible. The former cancels the latter.

The third point is that the

mother’s anxiety reflected the now-ubiquitous tendency of parents to “think psychologically” about problems that arise in or with their kids. This sort of thinking prevents problemsolving — not sometimes, but always — because the question “Why is this happening?” prevents a parent from focusing on what to do about it. The “Why?” question induces what I call “disciplinary paralysis.”

The fourth point is that we seem to have forgotten that children do odd things sometimes. These odd things do not necessarily indicate a problem.

Sometimes, odd is nothing more than odd.

Young people say online slurs common, but not OK Connie Cass Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Most young people say they aren’t very offended about the slurs and meanspirited videos mocking overweight people or gays or blacks that they encounter on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.

“You can’t let those things get to you,” says 15-year-old Vito Calli, an immigrant from Argentina whose online friends tease him with jokes about Hispanics.

In a notable shift, however, young people are coming around to the idea that it’s wrong to contribute to this ugly side of the Internet freefor-all, a poll released Wednesday shows.

A bare majority, 52 percent, of people ages 14 to 24 now say it’s never OK to engage in discriminatory language, even when it’s just among friends who don’t really mean it. That’s up from 44 percent in 2011.

A stronger majority — nearly 6 in 10 — say using slurs is wrong, even if you say you’re “just kidding.” Only about half were so disapproving two years ago.

Meanwhile, the share of young people who come across slurs online has held steady, according to the new poll from The Associated Press-

!

E E R F ual

NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and MTV. More than half of young users of YouTube, Facebook and gaming communities such as Xbox Live and Steam say they sometimes or often encounter biased messages.

Teens and twentysomethings say these slurs and taunting images they see online are mostly meant as jokes. The majority say they aren’t very offended when they see foul words online for women or gays — or even the N-word for AfricanAmericans.

“Sometimes I make a couple of jokes that might be offensive to someone and I don’t even realize it,” said Calli of Reading, Pa. “You forget there’s a person behind the computer with actual feelings.”

Because a friend chastised him, the high school sophomore has tried to stop labeling anything uncool either “gay” or “retarded.” He’s finding that a difficult habit to break.

Young people say derogatory stuff is most often posted online or texted on cellphones to be funny or cool. Less than a third believe a major reason people use slurs is because they actually harbor hateful feelings toward the groups they are maligning.

Most do see hateful thoughts as at least a minor reason, however.

Some slurs are taken more seri-

ously than others. Racial insults are not that likely to be seen as hurtful, yet a strong majority — 6 in 10 — felt comments and images targeting transgender people or Muslims are.

Almost as likely to be viewed as mean-spirited are slurs against gays, lesbians and bisexual people, and those aimed at people who are overweight.

Maria Caprigno, who has struggled with obesity since childhood, said seeing mean images on Facebook stings. But she thinks the online world reflects the rest of U.S. society.

“It’s still socially acceptable to comment on someone’s weight and what someone is eating,” said Caprigno, 18, of Norwood, Mass.

“We need to change that about our culture before people realize posting stuff like that online is going to be offensive to someone.”

Erick Fernandez of West New York, N.J., says what people share online reflects the influence of song lyrics and music videos and movies. He doesn’t approve but feels resigned to it.

“I try to call some of my friends out on it, but it’s really to no avail,” said Fernandez, 22. “They brush it off and five minutes later something else will come out. Why even bother?”

In the poll, young people said

Likewise, Calli, the high school student originally from Argentina, said he could stomach almost any name-calling but gets upset when someone uses a falsehood to denigrate immigrants.

Jeffrey Bakken, 23, a producer at a video game company in Chicago, said the bad stuff online, especially slurs posted anonymously, doesn’t define today’s young people. He says they actually are more committed to equal rights for minorities and gays than previous generations.

“Kids were horrible before the Internet existed,” Bakken said. “It’s just that now it’s more accessible to the public eye.”

The AP-NORC Center/MTV poll was conducted online Sept. 27-Oct. 7 among a random national sample of 1,297 people between the ages of 14 and 24. Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points. Funding for the study was provided by MTV as part of “A Thin Line” campaign to stop digital abuse.

The survey was conducted by GfK using KnowledgePanel, a probability-based online panel. Respondents are recruited randomly, using traditional telephone and mail sampling methods. People selected who had no Internet access were given it for free.

Troy Location:

they were less likely to ask someone to stop using hurtful language on a social networking site than face to face.

Alexandria Washington said she’s accustomed to seeing men who wouldn’t say offensive things to her in person post pictures of “halfnaked women in sexual positions,” followed by demeaning comments and slurs like “whore” and “ratchet.”

“They’ll post anything online, but in person it’s a whole different story,” said Washington, 22, a graduate student in Tallahassee, Fla. There seems to be a desensitizing effect. Those who report more exposure to discriminatory images and words online are less likely to say it’s wrong than those who rarely or never encounter it.

Context is crucial, too. Demeaned groups sometimes reclaim slurs as a way of stripping the words of their power — like the feminist “Bitch” magazine or gay rights activists chanting “We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it!”

Washington, who is AfricanAmerican, said on most days she doesn’t come across racial slurs on social media. But she stumbles upon bigoted words when race is in the news, such as surrounding President Barack Obama’s re-election, and finds them hurtful in that serious context.

Horoscope HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Nov. 22, 2013: This year you’ll want to move forward with some special plans that might involve travel, education and/or a foreigner. You will experience your life more completely, as your perspective of different issues transforms. If you are single, you might notice that the type of person you attract could be very different from your norm. Look to summer 2014 for more romantic intensity. If you are attached, the two of you will decide to take a class together or plan that special trip. As a couple, you naturally seem to make the right choices. LEO knows how to get you fired up.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-Soso; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might not have much more tolerance for your routine and might need to get involved in a more rewarding activity. Bring friends and loved ones together. Your efforts will pay off in multiples.

Let a late lunch be the start of your weekend. Tonight: TGIF! TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Handle a personal matter differently, and be willing to talk through a situation without reacting. You will gain a new perspective on what could happen if you were to get past a certain point.

Tonight: Head home first.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Make sure your checkbook is balanced

before you launch into a fun few days. You could be taken aback by everything that is going on around you today and in the next few days. You will be freer if you do not need to worry about expenses.

Tonight: Meet up with friends.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Use the morning hours for any matter for which you are vested in the outcome.

You might need to take the lead with a project. A late meeting could dissolve into an interesting and revealing discussion. Read between the lines. Tonight: Out and about.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Lie low until midafternoon, especially if you need to deal with anything important. You could be taken aback by what you hear from a loved one.

Digest this information, but test it out before you share it with others. Express your creativity. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Mars in your sign causes you to be quite pushy and demanding. You might not even realize that you have been so assertive. A meeting in the morning gives you plenty of material to mull over and make a decision about.

Tonight: Not to be found. Take off and do your thing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might need to answer to a boss, parent or someone who has influence over you. Try to attend to this matter in the morning, or at least before late afternoon.

Your tolerance will lessen as the day grows older. Tonight: Zero in on what you want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Listen to news from a distance. What you hear could change your plans and decisions. Do not hesitate to explain why you need to cancel a meeting or a dinner.

All eyes will look to you. In a sense, you are a role model for many people. Tonight: A must appearance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH A situation could become so intense that you might want to run away from it. By late afternoon, you will have an escape plan in place.

You might want to make plans to join friends for a TGIF celebration. Some of you will choose other distractions.

Tonight: Be unstoppable.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Others want your opinion. Information coming in, as well as knowledge you already have, suggests that you shouldn’t make any sudden moves. Finding an expert with whom you can brainstorm makes sense.

You might want to confirm or make plans. Tonight: With a loved one.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Tie up all loose ends on a project, clear your desk and schedule a late lunch meeting. Make the meeting as late in the afternoon as possible so that you won’t want to return to work.

You need a break. Tonight:

Surround yourself with friends, and notice a special admirer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH If you can take the day off, do. You will discover how important it can be to take some downtime for yourself.

Before you know it, you’ll feel your energy revving up. A child or loved one will delight in spending an extra hour or two with you. Tonight: Let the party go on.

n OSU has strong class

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State coach Thad Matta has signed four recruits in what some publications are calling one of the top classes in the country.

Jae’Sean Tate, a 6-foot-4 forward from Pinkerington Central High School and David Bell, a 6-10 center from Garfield Heights join the Buckeyes from Ohio.

D’Angelo Russell, a 6-5 guard from Louisville, Ky., and Keita Bates-Diop (Kaytah Bates Dee-opp), a 6-7 forward from Normal, Ill., make up the rest of the class.

Tate is the son of former Ohio State and Cincinnati center Jermaine Tate.

The Buckeyes lose point guard Aaron Craft and shooting guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. after this season to graduation. The Ohio State roster currently has five scholarship juniors, a sophomore and two freshmen.

n Ko opens with 71

NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Lydia Ko didn’t feel any differently on the first tee Thursday than she has at any other LPGA Tour events she has played, even the two that she won. It just took her a few hours before she started producing the kind of golf that brought so much attention to her professional debut.

The 16-year-old from New Zealand overcame a double bogey on her third hole with three birdies on the back nine at Tiburon Golf Club for a 1-under 71.

Ko was seven shots behind Sandra Gal of Germany, who opened with six straight birdies on her way to a 64.

Rebecca Lee-Bentham of Canada had six birdies on the back nine for a 65.

Another shot behind was a group that included Lexi Thompson, coming off a win last week in Mexico, and Anna Nordqvist, who can make more money by winning the CME LPGA Titleholders than she has all year.

First place is worth $700,000, the biggest payoff in women’s golf.

Buckeye fans feeling frustrated Don’t understand lack of respect for OSU COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — As he strolled to the locker room on Wednesday night after Ohio State’s chilly outdoor practice, Urban Meyer reflected on the speculation going on outside the team offices among Buckeyes fans about the BCS, bowl games and rankings.

“Fans get to have some fun,” the second-year Ohio State coach said. “That’s what makes college football so neat right now.”

Buckeyes fans could not disagree more.

This is not fun.

They’re riddled with angst and anguish these days because their favorite team is stuck in third place in the BCS, Baylor is charging fast from behind and there seems to be no good alternative to another bowl season of thinking what might have been.

Callers to sports-talk radio and those clicking on Ohio State booster websites can’t figure out what the Buckeyes have done wrong.

Ever since Meyer took over, they’ve won every game — 22 in a row, the longest streak in the nation. And still it doesn’t look as if the Buckeyes can elbow their way into the BCS title game ahead of top-ranked defending champion Alabama or No. 2 Florida State.

The fans’ emotions are jumbled.

Some are angry, most are frustrated.

But it’s not as if they’re marching through the streets of this white-collar city carrying pitch forks and torches.

A year after NCAA sanctions prevented the Buckeyes from putting their unbeaten team on display in a major bowl game, almost all of the Ohio State faithful have grown comfortable with their team being left behind — again — in the race for the national championship.

“Most people I’ve talked with have kind of resigned themselves to (the fact) it’s not in this team’s hands and that’s the stark reality they have to face,” said WBNS radio’s Paul Keels, the play-byplay voice of the Buckeyes and host of Meyer’s weekly coaches call-in show. “What they can cling to is the hope that this team goes unbeaten, wins the Big Ten championship, and if they can’t go to the BCS championship game, well, then you still have

something else to brag about.

“It just seems as though there’s been somewhat of a reluctant acceptance to the way the whole situation sits right now.”

Heading into Saturday’s final home game against Indiana, the Buckeyes (10-0, 6-0 Big Ten) have few chances to wow the BCS poll voters and computers.

The final regular-season game is at The Big House against a Michigan (7-3, 3-3) team that has played poorly in recent weeks.

Should the Buckeyes win those two games, they’ll most likely meet 13th-ranked Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game on Dec. 7 in Indianapolis.

The final BCS rankings come out the next day. Ohio State fans already have an ominous feeling how it’ll all end. If things turn out right, a trip to the Rose Bowl. But the Buckeyes would be playing there a few days before the national title is settled and the crystal football trophy is handed out.

It’s come to this in present day college football: A berth in the Granddaddy of all Bowls is seen as a bitter pill to have to swallow.

Ohio State’s star quarterback Braxton Miller was asked if he had any advice for the team’s most ardent fans — the ones who buy only gray cars with a scarlet interior, or who name

their kids Urban.

“Man, I have no idea. Because it’s not in our hands,” he said, smiling.

He said about all anyone following the Buckeyes can hope for is that the team wins by a landslide in each of its games.

“Just make it look easy,” he said. “Maybe (the voters) will switch it up in the future. We hope for the best.”

It’s not just the top two teams that worry Ohio State fans. Unbeaten Baylor has climbed into the No. 4 spot in the BCS rankings, right behind the Buckeyes. In the system’s migraine-inducing mathematics, the Buckeyes are 1.045 points behind Alabama and .792 points behind Florida State — but only .0013 ahead of Baylor.

“I can tell you that this week, with Baylor on their heels, there’s a little more anxiousness (for fans),” said Matt McCoy, sports director at Columbus radio station WTVN, where he hosts Ohio State-centric shows.

“I got an email from a guy who said, ‘Can you imagine if Ohio State gets passed over for the title game for Baylor?’ I can’t remember exactly what he said after that, but it was along the lines of, ‘The world is officially ended.’”

There’s also a subset of Ohio

State fans who would be perfectly happy if the Buckeyes run the table, miss out on the national title game, but end the season with winning streak — and dignity — intact.

They remember the lopsided losses in the national championship games after the 2006 and 2007 seasons — the former to a Florida team coached by Meyer.

Maybe sitting out the title game, and holding on to the possibility that the Buckeyes might have won if invited, is far better than going up against an Alabama team and possibly getting smoked.

After all, the Buckeyes are 0-9 in bowl games against Southeastern Conference teams.

One win in the 2011 Sugar Bowl against Arkansas was vacated due to NCAA violations.

But there’s always hope, right?

“There’s also the folks who say, ‘Hey, at least we’re in the championship game.’ You can think back to 2002, when they went into that title game and were heavy underdogs,” Keels said, referring to a 31-24 double-overtime victory over Miami for the Big Ten’s most recent national title in football. “They at least had the chance.

“But there are people who fall into that ‘be careful of what you wish for’ category, too.”

From suspension to pro bowl season Haden credits mistake for changing his life BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The darkest days in Joe Haden’s life lit his path to prominence.

Suspended last year for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, Cleveland’s lock-down cornerback took a hard look at himself and knew he had to make changes. It was time to grow up. Get serious.

“When I got suspended that really slowed me down and made me settle down,” Haden said. “The whole suspension thing got me to where I am now.”

Haden has moved into the elite class of NFL defensive backs. Coming off the best game of his career — two interceptions, one for a touchdown return against Cincinnati — Haden credited much of his personal turnaround with a dramatic lifestyle change, most notably his marriage last June to longtime girlfriend, Sarah.

“I think it’s mostly, honestly, the way I’m living,” said the affable Haden.

“Just me and my wife, I have a really good relationship with her. We’re doing super well just relaxing all the time. I’ve been studying the Bible a whole lot more and I’m just really comfortable with myself and how my life is going, and honestly that’s what really got me here.

“It’s just football now, all football.”

And Haden is playing it

better than ever.

On Sunday, he clamped down on Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green for the second time this season, holding him to just two catches for 7 yards. Week after week, Haden covers the other team’s top receiver and he’s done his job almost flawlessly.

So far this season, he’s matched up with six former Pro Bowl receivers and has limited the group, which includes Green, Detroit’s Calvin Johnson and Miami’s Mike Wallace, to 17 receptions for 147 yards and zero touchdowns.

With a laminated map of the Hawaiian Islands taped to the inside of his locker to give him motivation to make the Pro Bowl, he has become Haden Island.

“He embodies everything you want in a young corner,” said Browns defensive coordinator Ray Horton. “He’s athletic, he’s smart, he’s tough, and he’s a very good person on top of that.”

Haden’s maturity as a person and player has been noticeable to teammates as well as to teams preparing to face him.

Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will be mindful of No. 23 when the Steelers (4-6) visit the Browns (4-6) on Sunday in a game that could knock the loser from the playoff race.

“He’s a guy right now

that’s playing at a really high level,” Roethlisberger said on a conference call.

“He may be playing the best of any cornerback that we’ve seen all year.”

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin spoke in glowing terms about Haden, who burst onto the scene with six interceptions as a rookie in 2010.

“I don’t believe any corner is playing better that we have faced,” Tomlin said. “He’s good on the line, he’s good off the ball.

He’s got great peripheral vision. He can feel receivers and look at the quarterback. He’s very difficult to trick because of those things. He’s just a very talented player whose experience is catching up with this talent. And the end result is he’s one of the best at what he does.”

It’s not that Haden was acting like a wild man before this season. He liked to have fun and his accessibility, good-natured attitude and genuine love for Cleveland endeared him to Browns fans.

But his four-game suspension for using Adderall last year changed the way some people viewed him.

Haden sat out Weeks 2-5, and the Browns went 0-4 without their best defensive player. Unable to be around his teammates during the suspension, he went home to Maryland and stayed with his parents.

Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden (23) celebrates after scoring a touchdown on an interception in the first half last Sunday.

As tough as that time was on him emotionally, the break gave him a chance to prioritize. He prayed. He came back determined to be a better man, a better player. Once he got engaged everything fell into place.

“I just knew it was about time, he said. “It was the right girl, good girl, perfect. Just amazing.

“Honestly, just the way of life changed me. That’s the truth.”

Haden said Horton has made a huge impact on his on-field growth.

Horton has been demand-

ing, pushing Haden to raise his game. One of Horton’s tools to goad Haden has been to compare him with Arizona cornerback Patrick Peterson. Horton coached Peterson for two seasons.

“He’s definitely different than any coach I have ever had,” Haden said. “He does not really talk too much to me, he just always says little smart remarks about not doing what I should or if I am doing good, he will give me little comments.

“He mostly just lets me do me.”

Haden is doing it better than ever.

Golf duo to hit airwaves

Stenson, Poulter to host show (AP) — The dry humor of Henrik Stenson and brash talk of Ian Poulter can soon be heard on the radio.

Stenson, the No. 3 player in the world and the first to capture the FedEx Cup and Race to Dubai in the same season, will host his own show next year on SiriusXM. Also getting his own show on the PGA Tour Radio channel at SiriusXM is Poulter, the Ryder Cup stalwart who challenged Stenson for the European Tour money title that ended in Dubai.

Still to be determined are the launch dates and when the shows will air.

Stenson only looks like a stoic Swede. He has a witty outlook on life on tour, and once produced a European Tour video with a split camera in which he interviewed himself. He once pulled a prank on a fellow Swedish player by bursting through his balcony door at a hotel and feigning a hold-up. And until he won The Players Championship, he was best known for stripping to his white underwear to play a shot out of a water hazard at Doral.

His golf this year was astounding the second half of the season — a pair of top 3s in the majors, wins at the Deutsche Bank Championship and Tour Championship to

win the FedEx Cup, and then a win in Dubai to win Europe's money title.

"This has been an incredibly thrilling year for me, truly a dream season," Stenson said. "I'm looking forward to being on SiriusXM and sharing my thoughts on golf and my unique experiences around the world. It will be fun to bring my listeners along for the ride and give them an unvarnished look at life on and off the course."

Poulter, who has won World Golf Championships in Arizona (Match Play) and China (HSBC Champions), is best known for his stellar play in the Ryder Cup — along with his willingness to take on any subject. He once said in a magazine interview that when he reaches his potential, it will be him and Tiger Woods battling for No. 1.

"Those who know me know I've never been shy about sharing my opinions," Poulter said. "Now to have my own national radio show on SiriusXM will be great fun."

Poulter said he would talk on everything from fashion to Ferraris, Formula One and Arsenal, his favorite soccer team. And it won't hurt to have his own radio series during a Ryder Cup year, especially after he sparked Europe's comeback last year.
