DALLAS — From a street in downtown Dallas to the shores of Cape Cod, a somber nation paused Friday to remember John F. Kennedy 50 years after the young, handsome president was gunned down in an open-top limousine.

A half-century later, the assas-sination still stirs quiet sadness in the baby boom generation that remembers it as the beginning of a darker, more cynical time. The anniversary ceremonies reflected that solemnity, with moments of silence, speeches by historians and, above all, simple reverence for a time and a leader long gone.

“A new era dawned and another waned a half-century ago, when hope and hatred collided right here

in Dallas,” Mayor Mike Rawlings said at the largest memorial ser-vice, in Dealey Plaza, the scene of the Nov. 22, 1963, shooting.

“We watched the nightmarish reality in our front yard. Our presi-dent had been taken from us, taken from his family, taken from the world.”

Rawlings told about 5,000 peo-ple gathered under gray skies in near-freezing temperatures that the slaying prompted Dallas to “turn civic heartbreak into hard work” and helped the city to mature.

Kennedy “and our city will for-ever be linked in tragedy, yes,” he said. “But out of tragedy, an opportunity was granted to us how to face the future when it’s the darkest and uncertain.”

Rawlings unveiled a plaque with

The Bellevue Board of Education paid trib-ute Thursday evening to the Bellevue High School varsity boys golf team, which participated in the state golf tournament this fall.

Members of the team, Ryan Wilburn, Thomas Pressler, Isaac Hartley, and Dylan Dewitt, each received a certificate from Athletic Director Brian Schubert as well as congratulations from each board member.

The team placed 11th in the tourney.

They also won the NOL for the first time in 20 years, and also won the golf sectionals and were second in the districts which quali-fied them for the state tournament. Not pres-ent were team members Tyler Rospert, Tom Hosang, and their head coach, Jan TerVeen; they will receive certificates for their accomplish-ments.

The board appoint-ed Donna Allen as a trustee for the Bellevue Public Library Board of Trustees; her term will begin Jan. 1, 2014, and expire Dec. 31, 2020.

They also approved a field trip for the BHS Drama Club to attend the Ohio Education Thespian State Conference at Dublin Scioto High School, March 28-30, 2014. Angie Sommers and Cindy Bickhart will chaperone 27 students.

Membership in the Ohio School Boards Association’s Legal Assistance Fund mem-

bership for 2014 was also approved.

Under personnel, the board approved:

• The certificated (teaching) appointments of three substitute teach-ers, Janelle Raifsnider and Stephanie Bischoff, both effective Oct. 30; and Rebecca Bohn, effec-tive Nov. 5.

• The certificated supplemental appoint-

ment of Brian Schubert as OHSAA tournament manager for the 2013-14 school year.

• The certificated sup-plemental resignation of Mike Raifsnider as assistant varsity football coach, effective Nov. 4.

• Family medical leave for Wanda Sanders, BHS aide, effective Oct. 31 through Feb. 7, 2014.

• A list of volunteers for

the current school year, including Jill Colizoli, Kathryn Coll ings, Rosemae Hammill, Fran Hartenfeld, Michelle Knisley, Cathy Lawrence, Sharon McGinn, Jan Miller, Ron Miller, Ruth Miller, Deb Murray, Dorothy Sherck, Pat Shoemaker, Katherine Smith, Colleen Swartz.

• The classified retirement of Sandra Zimmerman, who has been a six-hour cook/cashier at the high school, effective Thursday, Nov. 21. She has been a dis-trict employee for 18 years.

The board adjourned into executive session for the dual purposes of discussing a personnel issue and also an issue which requires, by fed-eral law, keeping the matter confidential; no action was taken.

Newly elected board member, Neil Carlson, who will replace Melanie Ray beginning Jan. 1, was invited to sit in on the closed session with other board members.

They will next meet in regular session on Thursday, Dec. 19, at 6 p.m. in the Robert Regula Learning Center at Bellevue High School, 200 Oakland Ave.

Golf’s success earns praise

KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghanistan’s president on Friday rebuffed American demands that he sign a secu-rity pact allowing U.S. forces to stay in the country for another decade, while the U.S. defense secretary warns that planning for a post-2014 military pres-ence may be jeopardized if the deal isn’t finalized by the end of the year.

The stakes are high as Afghan tribal elders and other regional leaders met behind closed doors for a second day to debate the draft agreement seen as nec-essary to enable thousands of American soldiers to stay beyond a 2014 deadline primar-ily to train and mentor govern-ment security forces who are still struggling to face a resil-ient Taliban insurgency on their own.

Karzai stunned the U.S. when he urged delegates on Thursday’s opening day of the consultative council known as the Loya Jirga to approve the security pact, but said he will leave it to his suc-cessor to sign it after the April 5 elections.

His spokesman, Aimal Faizi, stuck to that stance on Friday despite U.S. pleas, saying “there is no deadline for us except what the president said in his speech.”

The Obama administration has said it will pull all its forces out of Afghanistan without a

security deal, as it did when Iraq failed to sign a similar agree-ment.

The U.S. invaded Afghanistan following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to go after al-Qaida, which was being shel-tered by the Taliban. The longest and costliest war in U.S. history

has proven deeply unpopular at home and among its allies, who also have said they will not com-mit any troops after 2014 unless the security deal is signed.

U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Friday he can’t rec-ommend that President Barack Obama continue planning for a post-2014 force in Afghanistan unless Afghan leaders promptly sign the security agreement.

Hagel said that without an agreement the U.S. will have no clear understanding of what the Afghan people want, what an acceptable role for U.S. forces will be or how to carry out that mission.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Karzai agreed ear-lier this week to the language of the agreement, which would remain in force until the end of 2024 and beyond, unless termi-nated by mutual agreement or by either party with two years’ written notice.

The draft agreement gives the U.S. legal jurisdiction over troops and Defense Department civilians who may get in trou-ble, despite deep divisions in Afghanistan over whether the Americans should have immu-nity.

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

and Dave Furney and Jessica, all of Brandon, Florida.

Also surviving are his brothers, Keith Wickman and Ken Davenport, of Bellevue; sister, Cathy Eschedor, of Fremont; his aunt, Joann Laub, of Bellevue; and many nieces; neph-ews and cousins.

The Bellevue Hospital Foundation is once again sponsoring the annual Lights of Love at TBH. Donations are now being accepted to purchase a Light of Love in honor or in memory of a loved one.

Donors can also pur-chase a personalized red heart keepsake ornament in honor or memory of a loved one.

“The 28th annual event is a time when community members may lovingly remember those special individu-

als who have touched their hearts,” said Kate Herring, Foundation Director. “Cost of each light is $5 while the cost of the keepsake orna-ment (which includes a Light of Love on the tree) will be $15, and all proceeds will benefit the Foundation’s charitable projects.”

The Lights of Love tree will be on display at TBH beginning the first week of December and continuing through the holiday season. The trees will be displayed in the

Main Entrance hallway and will feature white lights changing to red lights of love bulbs as purchases are made in honor or memory of a loved one.

Lights of Love or keep-sake ornament orders can be made at any time through the holiday sea-son.

Checks should be made payable to The Bellevue Hospital Foundation. Forms are available at TBH’s Gift Shop, by contacting TBH Administration at

419.483.4040, Ext. 4200, or online at www.tbh-foundation.com.

Send payment and information to TBH Foundation, 1400 W. Main St., Bellevue, OH 44811.

An American Red Cross Bloodmobile will be held at The Bellevue Hospital on Tuesday, Dec. 3. The event is open to the public.

The American Red Cross and The Bellevue Hospital are sponsoring the event, to be held from 9:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. in Conference Rooms A and B at the hospital.

“Because of the spe-cial handling and stor-age required for blood products and the lim-ited shelf life of the blood (42 days), we urge those who wish to donate to call ahead for an appointment,” said JoAnn Ventura, direc-tor of marketing at The Bellevue Hospital.

“To donate, you need to weigh between 110-350 pounds, be at least

17 years old, be in gen-eral good health, and be feeling well the day of the blood drive.”

A person can donate blood every 56 days. The American Red Cross needs approxi-mately 250 donors-a-day to supply the blood needs for 18 northwest Ohio hospitals. The Red Cross is in specific need of O-negative blood (universal donor), but all blood donors are wel-come and accepted.

To be eligible to donate blood on Dec. 3, a donor cannot have given blood after Oct. 8, 2013.

To schedule an appointment, call The Bel levue Hospi ta l Centralized Scheduling Department at 419-483-4040, Ext. 3067. Walk-ins will also be accepted.

People talk about many things with their loved ones: from day-to-day details to big events. Sharing stories with those who matter most isn’t just important today; it will be especially significant when it’s time to commemo-rate a life.

Foos & Foos Funeral Home has announced its participation in “Have the Talk of a Lifetime”SM, a national effort to encourage families to have conversations about life and what mat-ters most. These discussions can help families make important decisions about how they wish to remember and honor the lives of their loved ones.

Through meaningful memorializa-tion – that is, taking time to reflect on the unique life of a loved one and remember the difference they made – families and friends take an important step in the journey toward healing after death.

Individuals and their families have more options than even before for memorializing their loved one at the end of life. From simple to very elabo-rate, there are a variety of ways a family can honor their loved one in a personal and meaningful way.

“Memorialization is so much more than it used to be,” said Lisa Critelli, marketing director. “It can reflect

a person’s life story – their values, interests and experiences – and be transformative, healing and comfort-ing. Meaningful memorialization starts when loved ones talk about what matters most: memories made, les-sons learned and how they hope to be remembered.”

Foos & Foos Funeral Home is offer-ing individuals and families in the community of Bellevue a free brochure, Have the Talk of a Lifetime, that will help them begin a conversation about life.

“It’s not easy to talk about death,” said Critelli. “I think this brochure will be particularly helpful because it focuses on life, rather than the details of a service. Its life stories – fam-ily vacations, pieces of advice, favorite pastimes – that will help you remember those who matter most and begin to heal after they die.”

Call Foos & Foos Funeral Home at 419-483-5484 or stop by the office locat-ed at 151 Yorkshire Place, Bellevue, to request a free copy of the brochure.

“We are here to support and encour-age people as they ‘have the talk’ with their loved ones,” said Critelli. “Please call us if we can help you or if we can provide additional information about your memorialization options.”

remarks Kennedy was sup-posed to deliver later that day in Dallas. His remarks were followed a mourn-ful tolling of bells and a moment of silence.

The plaza includes the Texas School Book Depository building, where sniper Lee Harvey Oswald perched on the sixth floor above the presi-dent’s motorcade.

A stage for the memorial ceremony, just south of the depository building, was

backed with a large banner showing Kennedy’s profile.

Video screens showed images of Kennedy with his family.

Shortly after sunrise, Attorney General Eric Holder paid his respects at Kennedy’s recently refur-bished grave at Arlington National Cemetery, where a British cavalry officer stood guard, bagpipes played and a flame burned steadily as it has for the last half-century.

About an hour later, Jean Kennedy Smith, 85, the last surviving Kennedy sibling, laid a wreath at her brother’s grave, joined by about 10 members of the Kennedy family.

They clasped hands for a short, silent prayer and left roses as a few hundred onlookers watched.

In Dallas, the bitter weather was far different from the bright sunshine that filled the day Kennedy died.

TIFFIN — The National Center for Water Quality Research at Heidelberg University is a collaborator in a major grant from the U.S. EPA that will study the causes of harmful algal blooms and low oxygen levels in Lake Erie, both of which are seriously threatening the lake’s ecosystem and the regional economy.

According to the EPA, the $500,000 Great Lakes Restoration Initiative grant will fund crucial scientific work to answer questions about the role of nutrients, such as phosphorus, in the development of harmful algal blooms that occur in western Lake Erie.

“The answers to these questions will help tar-get efforts to protect the western basin and to restore the entire Lake Erie ecosystem, said Susan Hedman, EPA Region Five administra-tor/Great Lakes National Program manager.

The project, titled “Assessment o f Nutrient/Eutrophication Dynamics in Western Lake Erie,” will be headed up by the Ohio Lake Erie Commission. Heidelberg’s share of the award will be $95,000 over two years, said Dr. Kenneth Krieger, direc-tor of the NCWQR. Research scientists Remegio Confesor, Laura Johnson and R. Peter Richards and a student will handle Heidelberg’s responsibilities with the grant.

Other collaborators are

the University of Toledo, Case Western University, The Ohio State University and LimnoTech Inc., one of the country’s leading water sciences and envi-ronmental engineering consulting firms.

With its extensive research and long-term and complex data sets, the NCWQR is well suit-

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

Our program is the only one in the region providing you with a long-standing record of top performance in comprehensive SPINE CARE as well as SPORTS MEDICINE

8 THE BELLEVUE GAZETTESaturday, November 23, 2013 Opinion

To the Editor:On behalf of the Board

of Trustees, I want to thank the community of Bellevue for their gener-ous support during the 2013-14 Bellevue United Selective Fund and help-ing us to surpass our goal.

This community over the years has been a very caring and concerned community when it comes to helping your neighbor and those in need. In these uncertain economic times, it is refreshing to see ‘neigh-bors helping neighbors’ in Bellevue. And the most rewarding aspect of this annual fund drive is the money raised goes to help Bellevue Charities chosen by the donors.

There are just too many people to try and remem-ber to thank for this fund year and I do appreciate all who helped and acted as co-chairs. I do want to thank Chairman Steve Wasserman and Erica Hager from the Firelands Federal Credit Union for heading up this years’ campaign. I really appre-ciate their leadership and relentless work toward achieving the Drive goal of $165,000. Steve and Erica had a number of co-chairs who worked

tirelessly as well and I do appreciate their efforts too.

I would also like to rec-ognize the following com-panies in our community that have always stepped up during our fund drive to lead the way. Namely, Bunge, International Metal Hose, Norfolk and Southern Corporation, The Bellevue Hospital, the American Baler Co., Mitsubishi Chemical, Bellevue Manufacturing, Firelands Federal Credit Union, First National Bank, Bellevue City Schools, City of Bellevue and AFSCME Ohio Council 8, First Energy Foundation, Great Lakes Packers, Janotta and Herner, Croghan Colonial Bank. And for all the businesses and companies in Bellevue who encourage participa-tion in this campaign. I also need to recognize Diane Sabo and Bonnie Ball for heading our neighborhood campaign for a job well done.

Thanks also go out to The Bellevue Hospital and staff for hosting our meetings and lunches, your generosity is great-ly appreciated as well. I don’t want to forget Becky Brooks of the Bellevue Gazette for

their continuing great coverage throughout the six-week campaign and beyond. Lastly, many thanks to my Board of Trustees for their direc-tion, leadership and dedication all year long. They are Bob Birr, Glenn Cunningham, Deborah Hawkins, Judy Journay, Jeremiah Ray, Charles Sabo and Rose Marie Sartor.

As a reminder, there are no paid positions with the BUSF as the Board of Trustees and all who volunteer their time and talents each year do so because they care about their commu-nity and helping others. All donations pledged will be fully disbursed to these 501C3 organi-zations to help those in need around our com-munity.

Tax deductible contri-butions are still being accepted. If you are inter-ested to pledge, contact Steve or Erica at FFCU 419-483-4180, Trustee Rose Sartor at 419-483-5670 (Cunningham and Associates), or myself at Croghan Colonial Bank 419-483-6108.

Dear B e l l evue Community,

The Bellevue Music Boosters would like to express their apprecia-tion for the commu-nity’s recent support of their seventh annu-al pie sale. Over 130 volunteers helped to make 1,018 pies in four hours and 45 minutes. The proceeds from this event benefit our entire K-12 music program.

We would like to espe-cially thank Bassett’s Market and their staff

for assisting us in sev-eral ways with this proj-ect. Root’s Poultry sup-ported our efforts for the seventh year.

This endeavor would not be possible without the help of JES Foods and Eshleman Fruit Farms. We thank The Bellevue Gazette, The Norwalk Reflector and The Sandusky Register for their assistance with advertising this event.

Thank you to St. Paul’s UCC Church and

Daycare for their hos-pitality and for shar-ing their facility for the day.

A great big shout out to the individuals who peeled, sliced and stirred 7,126 apples to make this possible.

There are still pies available for a $10 donation. They may be obtained from Eshleman’s Fruit Farm in Clyde.

Sincerely,Bellevue Music
