City’s fiscal outlook for 2014 discussed

By Melanie Yingst Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com TROY — The fiscal outlook for the city of Troy’s 2014 was presented in a financial committee workshop Wednesday without the proposed $5 million bond issue for a Riverfront developement project, which was tabled at the request of council president Marty Baker.

Baker said the $5 million bond issue, which is factored in as part of the 2014 budget, was “too expensive, too important” and had “too many questions” to be discussed during the workshop’s budget meeting.

The $5 million bond issue in regards to the Riverfront proj-

ect includes: $125,000 to fund final Treasure Island design; $3 million for Hobart Arena renovations; $1.2 million for Marina renovation; and $.8 million for the creation of Treasure Island Park. The proposed project also includes an application for $1.3 million grant for a bridge connection from Duke Park to Treasure Island. Council already approved a $75,000 feasibility study for Hobart Arena on Monday as part of the Riverfront development project.

City council members Alan Clark, Doug Tremblay and Bobby Phillips agreed with Baker’s recommendation to table the discussion for further study.

City public service and safety

director Patrick Titterington said some of the proposed Riverfront project would be part of the workshop, but would gloss over the items to be discussed at a later date.

Baker said the proposed project was only a “ballpark estimate” at this time and did not want to spend the entire workshop discussing the details of the project.

Titterington said the proposed House Bill 5 in Columbus may impact income tax collection for the city, and that the proposed$5 million Riverfront project would boost the city’s economic development to offset those proposed losses.

Titterington said he didn’t

JFK’s death remembered 50 years later

Melody Vallieu

Staff Writer mvallieu@civitasmedia.com

Kennedy, the nation’s 35th president, lost his life in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.

Those who were old enough to remember that day — 50 years ago today — have the details etched in their memory.

A young sports editor, Joel Walker, who would go on to have a long and prosperous newspaper

career at the Troy Daily News, remembers the day like it was yesterday.

Walker said newsroom employees first learned of the shooting in the late morning when the Universal Press International wire machine began ticking out the story on the tape feed.

“It first said that he had been shot and was probably dead. We were all stunned and in disbelief,” See JFK | 2

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 solemn 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 MillerMeteor Co. At the time, Piqua’s own Miller-Meteor 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.

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 See HEARSE | 2

Neil Webster, Troy: “I was on

the phone with another gentleman. I had the radio on and I heard it and I dropped the phone. I picked it back up and the gentleman on the other line said ‘Did you hear the radio just say the president has been shot?’ And I said ‘No, the man on the radio just said it.’ It was shocking.”

Jim Meyers, Troy: “I was in

study hall in ninth grade at Wilder Junior High School in Piqua. It was a little bit of disbelief and I automatically believed it was a conspiracy. Especially when his brother was killed. Anyone involved in trying to suppress labor was in trouble back then.”

Jean Evenden, Troy: “I was a stay-at-home mother of five children, and the then youngest was 2 months old at the time. I heard it on the television while I was doing laundry. I called the principal’s wife next door and she called her husband at the school and they made an announcement.”

Betty Perrine, Laura: “I was at work at an office supply store and this outside salesman came in. He was one of those guys who tells stories. He said ‘You guys know JFK’s been shot?’ We didn’t believe him. Someone else came in and we believed them. Things stood still. I remember we didn’t work the next day, everyone just sat home for days and watched the TV.”

Dorothy Laufer, Troy: “I was ironing in my living room and I had the TV on and I heard the news. It was just a shock to me.

I saw Jackie jump up and crawl on back of him. Tears came to my eyes.”

Sharon Henning, Troy: “I was in college, my junior year.

I had been in class early in the morning and I got home and the everyone was really quiet and watching the news on TV. It was really quite tragic. I cried a lot. I had no clue what was really happening. We stayed at the television the rest of the afternoon.”

Walker said. “We just kind of walked around the newsroom and waited for more to come.”

Walker remembers that it was the beginning of the 1963-64 high school basketball season and he had an appointment at Covington High School to do a season preview story that morning.

“And I did that, but in a stunned state,” said Walker, who said over the years he has had the good fortune of meeting

most all the presidents since then through his newspaper career. “Life had to go on.”

Back at the office, staff was deciding what to do and watched the news unfold on the TV, located in the newsroom, trying to confirm his death. They held the front page past deadline for confirmation.

In the end, Walker said the staff chose the headline “President Kennedy Killed,” a series of comic-like

From page 1 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 auctioning house that sold the hearse in 2012.

Tony Karsnia, a founding member and past president of the Miller-Meteor 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.”

panels that news editor Dale Francis already had in his possession depicting the life of JFK, two stories about his death and a profile photograph of the president.

“We were the only paper east of the Mississippi to have a story and full front page like that,” Walker said. “Some had bulletins, but we had the full story.”

Walker, a 1961 graduate of Miami University, said he had met Kennedy in 1959 while working at the college newspaper, when then Massachusetts Sen. Kennedy made an unplanned stumping stop at the school’s old football field.

Newspaper staff were able to meet with him following his speech on “The College Graduate’s Responsibility in Politics.” Walker then voted for him for president.

tragic day vividly.

An employee of Hobart All Ground Power in Troy, Jenkins said he was headed up the steps of the building to the offices after hearing the news thinking to himself, “How can this be?”

“It really upset me.

Someone had killed the president,” he said. “I just remember thinking, ‘My gosh, they’ve shot the president. This isn’t the way we handle

things.’ It was a real bad time. One of sorrow. To think someone can do something like that … shoot the president. It’s unbelievable.”

Jenkins said he felt sadness for Jackie, the rest of the family — and the country.

“I’ve never got over their little guy saluting the casket as it went by,” Jenkins said.

ment.

Titterington said he would continue to monitor the departments, but cited management of both departments seemed to be handling overtime and scheduling.

Troy Fire Department Chief Chris Boehringer said although it has been cheaper to pay overtime to fire fighters to fill vacancies due to illness, injury, personal time for family such as births, the fire department is operating at its minimum.

A c c o rd i n g to Boehringer, Station 1 has four personnel on duty, Station 2 has two men and Station 3 has two men on staff per 24-hour shift.

The proposed budget included a $55,000 request for Troy Main Street support for 2014. Councilman John Schweser said downtown events have “blossomed” under Karin Manovich’s direction and asked if the salary for her position should be “bumped up.”

Titterington noted the

city needed to restore city services first, but did note that Troy Main Street had requested an additional $10,000 in the coming for downtown exterior facade repair projects.

The parks department requested to add an arborist to its staff due to the increase of work due to the emerald ash borer and the continue removal of ash trees around the city.

The Park Department has two laborer positions vacant. The parks department’s foreman position is to be abolished with the created arborist position.

The 2014 budget includes the following vacant positions: Fire department, three positions unfunded since 2007; Police, four officer positions vacant and unfunded, custodian and secretary vacant position, filled by temp agency; Engineering — operations superintendent position vacant; Human Resources, specialist position, unfunded; Recreation Department, one clerk position unfunded; Refuse, one laborer, one truck driver vacant; Street Department, one mechanic, one HEO, 1 LEO; Cemetery fund, one laborer vacant; Water billing, one account representation; Sewer Department, one account representative vacant; Sewer Treatment, one operator position vacant since 2011, mechanic position vacant, one operator position not filled after 2013 retirement due to SCADA implementation.

Outlook percent from 2013.

The general fund expense projection for 2014 is $22.73 million in operating expenses and capital expenses of $8.6 million including the proposed $5 million bond issue for the Riverfront

project.

Titterington said the revenue funds were stable, but noted the loss of revenue with the elimination of the estate tax and the phase of personal tangible property tax.

Titterington said the

2014 budget dips in to the city’s cash reserves at an estimated $800,000, the least amount in several years.

The budget also included $102,500 for the city’s Bicentennial celebration.

CITY PERSONNEL BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The city budget for 2014 accounts for various expenditures.

Approximately 28 positions remain vacant in city departments.

According to city of Troy clerk of council Sue Knight, some positions have been vacant for years and are still being shown and some vacancies are using temporary works such as the Refuse department.

Notably, three fire fighter positions and four police officer positions remain vacant. Titterington said the numbers were being monitored closely.

Councilman Alan Clark said he was concerned in the terms of “burnout” in regards to the city’s police and fire fighter depart-

Paul G. Duke Foundation grants awarded Troy — Seven nonprofit organizations supporting students, community events and recreation, and basic needs got an economic boost from the Paul G. Duke Foundation. The foundation recently announced a total of $181,500 in grants to benefit cultural growth and services for people in need in the Miami County area.

The Troy Recreation Association received a grant to support the renovation of The Rec’s historic building in downtown Troy. The Rec provides many programs and services for the community, among them the Summer Lunch Buddy program, which the Duke Foundation has supported for a decade.

The trustees believe that providing funds for the renovation was a logical expansion of their history of support for The Rec, and that the renovated building will encourage community pride and bring people to downtown Troy.

Recent grants approved: Edison State Community College Three grants were awarded to support the 2013 Holiday Evening at Edison, to provide 2014 support for the Cooperating Collection, and to support the 2014 Community Leadership Conference.

Friends of the Hayner, Inc. To support several renovation projects in preparation for the Centennial Celebration of the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center in 2014.

Habitat for Humanity of Miami County To support the home ownership and home repair programs.

Health Partners Free Clinic To support the costs of diagnostic tests provided for patients and general support if needed.

Needy Basket of Southern Miami County Inc. To support the annual December Holiday Basket Program to ensure that all families, especially those with chil-

!

E E R F h Annual

dren, are able to celebrate and enjoy the season.

Piqua Compassion Network To support implementation of the Jobs for Life job training program in the Piqua area.

Troy Recreation Association Inc. Two grants were awarded, one to support the renovation of The Rec’s historic building in downtown Troy, and the other to support the Summer Lunch Buddy program to provide Troy students in grades kindergarten through sixth with a free lunch and literacy program.

The Paul G. Duke Foundation, paulgdukefoundation.org, a supporting foundation of The Columbus Foundation, was established in 1983. It has a long history of philanthropic support for nonprofit organizations. Paul Duke, businessman and philanthropist, evolved his local Duke Garden Centers into a national lawn and garden service, Chem-Lawn. The proceeds from the sale of that business enabled Mr. Duke to generously support many community projects and charitable programs, all of which is done through the Duke Foundation.

The Duke Foundation’s grantmaking efforts focus upon programs benefiting children, young adults, and families in the Miami County area. Grants are made in the areas of the arts, education, health, and social services and are made for both general and specific project support, including seed money for innovative programs. The foundation has frequently made challenge grants for projects to encourage matching gifts or additional funding from other donors.

The Duke Foundation’s Board of Trustees includes Patricia Duke Robinson, president emeritus; Ronald B. Scott, president; Linda A. Daniel; Paul A. Hanke, Esq.; B. Mark Hess, M.D.; William J. McGraw, III; and Thekla R. Shackelford.

News on Obama should keep his word on health care: It would be better to scrap the Affordable Care Act and start over on health care reform, but considering that it is President Barack Obama’s most important achievement and his cooperation would be necessary, that’s unlikely to happen.

At the very least, the president and Congress should make the law live up to the promises they made to the American people. The president suggested he would Thursday but didn’t detail exactly how.

Democrats wonder if they are about to be bitten a second time by the president’s baby. Obama rammed the law through Congress without the vote of a single Republican and without the vote of a number of Democrats.

Nothing says that even the most important law has to get a broad consensus of support. No law says it has to have the majority of the American public’s support. A law, big or small, just needs the support of a congressional majority and the president’s signature. But it is good politics and good statesmanship to seek broad approval.

The girl we saw then is definitely not the same person we see today.

The sweet, innocent girl from years ago is now a 20-year-old pop star who has turned her nice girl image into one of a trashy vamp who seems to care more about making some kind of statement about herself.

She is now best known for being scantily clad and performing provocative dance moves, behaviors that make her a rotten role model for young girls.

Most recently, she set another bad example by smoking a joint on stage in Amsterdam at the MTV Europe Music Awards, along with the trampy dance moves.

Cyrus should be really proud of herself. Smoking a joint in a country where smokers can’t be prosecuted should really enhance her image as one who flaunts her unconventional style.

What kind of message does this send to the millions of her teenage followers?

It tells them that drugs are OK and that flaunting their bodies is how young women can get ahead. Talent alone not enough?

Cyrus should remember those who got her to where she is now.

DOONESBURY Doonesbury DOONESBURY

Attorney General missing key piece to win fight against heroin abuse Attorney General Mike DeWine made a stop in Troy on Tuesday morning with grave news — heroin use is on the rise in Ohio.

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, DeWine estimates 11 deaths a week in Ohio can be attributed to the drug.

Authorities say the number of heroin deaths have spiked because it is cheap and readily available. It’s available everywhere.

One thing DeWine candidly said was that many communities are in denial about the use of this potent drug.

And I’m afraid Troy, and Miami County, is one of those communities which is in denial.

How do I know our hometown has a heroin problem?

Because a once former friend of mine has fought the addiction to heroin for years.

Personally, I’ve never seen the drug being used or been around someone

never know that George was a struggling heroin addict. He dresses nice and clean cut. He always was polite and friendly. He even drove a sports car when his license wasn’t suspended.

George also is a talented artist. Once, George gave me a painting before he made grand plans to move to the East Coast to take a new welding job. He said it was a gift to me as someone who always believed in him despite his struggles with his mental illness and his drug problems. He never left due to his record.

Last spring, I saw my friend George’s name and picture on our county’s jail roster. While his incarceration didn’t shock me, his charges of heroin possession and theft did.

While we hadn’t spoke in months, I was devastated at this news. That day, I deleted George’s number from my phone and off of Facebook. While I felt bad, I knew I could not help

him or take his phone calls anymore.

DeWine spoke about adding up to eight more drug specialists to the Bureau of Criminal Investigation and implementing community task forces in places like Miami County.

What was missing from DeWine’s plan was how to help the heroin addict.

Rehabilitation and counseling has to be part of the getting people like George off the drug and functioning in society again. It’s recidivism rate is astonishing.

This drug is a problem here in our town and our county. There are likely a hundred or more people like George here in Troy and Miami County who need help physically, emotionally and mentally.

Until that happens, the drug abuse will continue to cycle over and over again.

M-U discusses board changes, green status Ashley Moor For Civitas Media

WEST MILTON — The passing of the Ohio Revised Code board governance was the main topic of discussion at the Milton-Union Board of Education meeting Nov. 18. Miami Valley Career Technology Center Superintendent Dr. Nick Weldy informed the group of the new changes taking place at the career center, due to the passing of the Ohio Revised Code. The changes went into place starting Sept. 23.

“The passage of House Bill 59 brought a number of changes to the career — technical education world,” Weldy said.

The first change that took place affected the number of years that members of the Miami Valley board could serve. Members were now restricted to a three-year term, and no more than two consecutive three-year terms. This will take effect for current members as soon as their current term expires.

The second change is referred to as the three-fifths rule, which means that no less than three-fifths of the members on the board can be from a district outside of the one that they are representing. These regions will be defined by the geographic footprint of the associate school districts served by the career center.

Finally, appointing board members will be able to appoint to the MVCTC board any member of the appointing board who is lawfully eligible to serve, and vice versa.

Milton-Union board member Sam Huffman attended the annual Ohio School Board Association Capital

Conference in Columbus this past week. Huffman was able to attend conferences, along with board members from all over the state, that were aimed specifically towards taking schools from average to excellent. There was also a trade show that was filled with various ideas for school construction and accessories.

Huffman found various examples of ways that batting cages could be used at the school, along with ways that it could be financed.

Going green Milton-Union Schools have applied for a chance to awarded one of the Green Ribbon schools for the 2014 school year. This award goes to any school that has good sustainability, or low cost per square foot, and integration of this knowledge in course material for students through the learning of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) and how to live a “green” life.

There are two levels to the program – first at the state level, then on to the federal level. The top 100 schools will be honored from the state in Columbus in December. This is part of a larger federal initiative by the U.S. Department of Education to increase energy independence and economic security for the future.

“Right now we are at about 89 cents per square foot, compared to most other schools that are at a dollar and ten cents a square foot,” said Milton-Union Superintendent Dr. Virginia Rammel.

The next Milton-Union Board of Education meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m.

Dec. 16 in the board conference room.

TIPP CITY — When a group of now failing mystery authors is brought together in a reality show to create the greatest murder mystery ever produced, the audience gets involved in an imaginative dark comedy. Each author brings his or her different style of mystery to the table during “Done to Death” to begin shows today at Tippecanoe High School.

They include a couple who write sophisticated murders, a young author of Bond-style spy novels, a retired writer of film noir, and an aging queen of Christie styled logical murders. As the play alternates between reality and imagination, it is packed with parody of every mystery plot, hero, and villain created in the past fifty years.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Little Doctor,” the ob-gyn who is too “busy and forgetful” to remember patients’ names and uses an all-purpose term of endearment, claiming it makes the patient “feel relaxed and comfortable.”

I am also a busy doctor, but I address each patient by name and also review their medications, lab test results and notes from the last visit. I can’t imagine anyone could feel comfortable and relaxed knowing the doctor was so busy and forgetful that he calls you by a generic endearment. It is disrespectful and a red flag. How can such a busy, forgetful doctor be alert and responsive to issues that pertain to a patient’s health? -- Conscientious Doctor

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.

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.

Solemn events to mark JFK’s assassination DALLAS (AP) — Loose gatherings of the curious and conspiracyminded 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 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 “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

AP Photo Carlos Flores holds a copy of the Dallas Morning News as work crews finish up street work on Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Thursday. Loose gatherings of the curious and conspiracy-minded at Dallas-Dealey Plaza have marked past anniversaries of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. But for the 50th anniversary, the city of Dallas has planned a solemn ceremony Friday in the plaza he was passing through when shots rang out. There will be brief remarks by the mayor and the tolling of church bells.

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 perform 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 today.

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

Memories of JFK remain clear (AP)-For those who experienced it, Nov. 22, 1963, is a date many recall with great clarity.

Most anyone can tell you what they were doing when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated and members of the Henry County Senior Center had stories of their own to share.

Paul Like of Napoleon recalled working near Swanton when his supervisor shared the news with the workers. Like said everyone kept working, but the day remained memorable for him because of that single event.

“I know I was working that day,” he said. “He was the President and I had voted for him.”

Ken Woore of Napoleon lived in California at the time and received the news via television.

“I had just turned 6 when President Kennedy was assassinated,” Woore said. “I remember back then, when the President was on TV, there was nothing else on TV. I hollered at my mom, and she told me, ‘Don’t kid around.’ She came out of the kitchen to see the news and it was a very sad day that day.”

Woore said he remembered that day even though he was young at the time, as one of the President’s speeches had made an impression on him.

“Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country,” he recited. “I had just turned 6 years old and I still remember that.”

AP Photo In this Nov. 22, 1963, file photo, President John F. Kennedy, center on foreground platform, addresses a rain-soaked crowd in Fort Worth, Texas. In an interview, Secret Service agent Clint Hill recalled, “I heard the noise outside” of a large, friendly crowd gathering, despite the drizzle, for a speech — Kennedy’s first event of a packed day.

Hildegard Mielke of Napoleon said the assassination was a blow to the entire country.

“When Franklin Roosevelt died, it felt like we were lost,” she said. “When President Kennedy died, it felt like we were lost again. I was at home and I had heard it on TV and you can’t hardly believe that anything like that would happen.”

Marlene Norden of Napoleon recalled being at school when the news

was shared with her.

“I was in the fourth grade and we were at recess when we found out,” she said. “It was sad. And I remember we didn’t have school for his funeral and it was on TV the whole time.”

Jonalex Rettig of Holgate recalled prepping a high school newspaper, when the assassination completely changed the plans for that edition.

“I was typing the headline for our school newspaper and our journal-

ist teacher came in and told us ‘Throw it away, we’re starting over,’” she said. “The headline got changed to tell about Kennedy being killed. I felt sick to my stomach when I heard the news.”

Betty Babcock of Napoleon said she found out about the news while caring for one of her children.

“I was only 21 at the time and I had two kids,” she said. “I had one that was just a month old and I was sitting on the couch, watching TV and nursing her when that came on. I thought ‘How could that happen?’”

Dolores Sauceda of Hamler recalled seeing the scene when the event happened.

“I was watching a soap opera and I had my ninth child rocking in a buggy so he would fall asleep,” she recalled. “That came on and I could see him, they were driving him to Dallas and he was waving. All of a sudden I saw him when he was next to Jackie and that’s when he was shot. It was terrible.”

Beulah Bryant of Holgate said she was working at the time, which made the initial availability of news sparse.

“I was walking back to the solder in the coil room at Campbell Soup (Supply Co.) when we were told he had been shot,” she said. “They didn’t tell us he was dead at that time, so we didn’t find out until later. It was very heartbreaking.”

Josh Brown

COLUMBUS (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.

The Troy volleyball team was one of six fall sports teams to win a Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division championship, which helped give Troy a commanding lead in the race for the GWOC North All Sports Trophy

Troy takes lead for all sports trophy David Fong

Regional Sports Editor dfong@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Thanks in large part to division championships won in six of the nine fall sports, Troy has taken a commanding lead in the race for the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division All Sports Trophy.

Each year, the GWOC North awards a trophy to the team that has finished the highest in all the combined sports throughout the

course of the school year. In each sport, points are awarded based on where a team finishes in the final conference rankings. Seven points are awarded for first place, five points for second, four for third, three for fourth, two for fifth and one for finishing sixth.

At the end of the year, the points are tallied and the school with the most points is awarded the trophy.

Suspended last year for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, Cleveland’s lockdown 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 Tom Brady and Peyton Manning have six whole lot more and I’m just really comfortMVP awards between them in the regular seaable with myself and how my life is going, son.

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.

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.”

Brady, Manning meet again in matchup of great QBs FOXBOROUGH, Mass.

(AP) — Tom Brady and Peyton Manning have six MVP awards between them in the regular season. They have three more in the Super Bowl.

On Sunday night, two of the NFL’s greatest quarterbacks will meet for the 14th time. But there’s a new twist.

One of them is mired in the middle of the league’s passer ratings instead of being near the top.

Brady and his rebuilt receiving corps have suffered through growing pains while Manning’s deep group of pass catch-

Fans

ers helped the Denver Broncos (9-1) become the NFL’s best offense going into the prime-time game against the New England Patriots (7-3).

So Brady must find a way to outscore a team averaging 39.8 points per game.

“Our offense right now is very different than it’s ever been,” he said.

“Everything that we do has a different feel to it.

We’ve had so many new players.”

Manning threw seven touchdown passes in the season opener and is the league’s second highest

rated passer. Brady didn’t reach that total until his fourth game and was tied for 18th in the rankings after Monday night’s 24-20 loss to the Carolina Panthers.

But those numbers don’t fool the Broncos.

“He’s definitely one of the best,” Denver safety Mike Adams said. “You can never count him out, whether they’re leading, whether they’re down.

He’s one of the comeback kids. He always comes back in the fourth quarter.”

He didn’t have to do that in the first matchup of

his career with Manning.

In Brady’s second start as a pro, the Patriots beat the Indianapolis Colts 44-13 in the third game of 2001.

Now, 12 years later, Brady is 9-4 against Manning with 23 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions. Manning has thrown for 27 touchdowns and 19 interceptions in those games.

And he lost his first matchup with Brady after joining the Broncos, 31-21 in Week 5 last year.

Both completed more than 70 percent of their passes in that game.

es 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 regularseason 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

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.

From page 12 the past three years.

Troy finished the fall season with 52 points.

Butler is in second with 43 points, Greenville is third with 31.5 points, Piqua and Sidney are tied for fourth with 26 points and Trotwood-Madison is sixth with 13.5 points.

Troy picked up seven points in girls cross country, boys golf, girls golf, girls soccer and volleyball, all of which won outright conference championships.

The Troy boys soccer team also won a GWOC North Division title, but shared the crown with Butler, meaning each school was awarded six points.

Troy also picked up five points in boys cross country for a second-place finish (behind Butler) and the girls tennis team earned four points for finishing third behind Greenville and Butler.

The Troy football team picked up two points for finishing in a tie with Sidney and Greenville for fourth place.

In each of the past three seasons in which Troy has won the GWOC North All Sports Trophy, it has been in first place coming out of the fall season. Last year, Troy led Butler 54.3-46.3 after the fall season concluded and finished the year with a 120.8-109.8 advantage over the Aviators, narrowly edging out Butler in the winter (39-38) and spring (27.5-25.5).

Two years ago, Troy led Butler 45.33-43.33 in the fall and won by a final margin of 117.33-111.33.

Butler edged Troy in the winter sports (42.5-42) and Troy outdistanced Butler in the spring (3025.5).

Three years ago, Troy held a 52.83-45.83 lead over Butler after the fall season and went on to win by a final total of 123.33-111.33 over Butler. Troy won the winter (46-36.5), but Butler edged Troy in the spring sports (29-24.5).

Prior to Troy’s threeyear winning streak, Butler won the trophy twice, while Troy finished second both of those years.

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

But it’s not as if they’re marching through the streets of this whitecollar 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-by-play voice of the Buckeyes and host of Meyer’s weekly coach-

Jalyn Holmes (Norfolk, Va. Lake Taylor), a defensive end who is a 2014 Ohio State verbal commitment, had a huge game with five sacks when his team won 35-7 in a playoff game against Suffolk Nansemond River last weekend. Curtis Samuel (Brooklyn Erasmus Hall), a wide receiver who is a 2014 Ohio State verbal commitment, had a 96-yard touchdown run when his team won 34-6 over Bronx John F. Kennedy in a playoff game.

Chad Mavety, an offensive lineman from Nassau (N.Y.) Community College, is scheduled to visit Ohio State this weekend when the Buckeyes play Indiana.

Jarrett Stidham, a wide receiver/defensive back from Stephenville, Texas in the 2015 recruiting class, has received an offer from Ohio State. Terrance Gibson, a quarterback in the 2015 recruiting class from Plantation, Fla., has received an OSU offer. He also has offers from Alabama, Florida State and Notre Dame.

Four of Ohio State’s 2014 verbal commitments have signed mid-year nonbinding agreements. Under NCAA rules, recruits can sign these agreements, which guarantee their scholarship offers but do not bind them to the school signing the document. The advantage to the schools is that they can then contact the recruits much more.

The agreements are for students planning to graduate early from high school and enroll in college. The 2015 OSU recruits who have signed this agreement are: Cleveland Glenville offensive lineman Marcelys Jones, Leesburg (Ga.) quarterback Stephen Collier, Oldham County, Ky. kicker Sean Nuernberger and Curtis Samuel.

OSU’s Hyde always runs hard Ohio State running back Carlos Hyde can be a load.

Even when he’s on your side.

Offensive tackle Jack Mewhort remembers the 230pound Hyde ramming into him as he ran the ball against Nebraska in 2011. It’s hard to forget the pain that two broken ribs bring.

“I was playing right guard and I pulled around on a power play and he ran right into the back of me and broke two of my ribs. I ended up playing the rest of that season with two broken ribs. I know what it feels like to get hit by Carlos Hyde,” Mewhort said.

“Obviously, he runs with a vengeance and a lot of passion.

We love blocking for a guy like that,” he said. “He runs angry.”

Center Corey Linsley also knows a little about the impact Hyde delivers.

“Two Sundays ago, we were in here (The Woody Hayes practice facility) doing a postgame practice in shorts, no pads on, and ‘Los comes running through and just smacks my back. I went back to the huddle thinking if that guy runs into me on a no pads day, what’s it got to feel like for a defender?” Linsley said. “He’s one tough, fast dude.”

Hyde (947 yards rushing, 13 touchdowns) is “completely different” this year than he was a year ago when he fell just shy of 1,000 yards with 970, OSU coach Urban Meyer says.

“First, he’s more mature,” Meyer said. “He’s 230 (pounds) as opposed to 240 and some change. He’s much faster. He’s got the acceleration now.”

With his big senior season, Hyde has accelerated himself into discussions about how he compares to the top backs of the past at OSU and about how high he might go in the NFL draft.

He is averaging 135.3 yards rushing per game. If he hadn’t been suspended the first three games of the season, he almost certainly would be in the top 10 nationally.

Add all that up and he is having a high-impact season.

Just ask his linemen.
