Today is Tuesday, Oct. 25, the
299th day of 2016. There are 67 days
left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Oct. 25, 1962, during a meeting of the U.N. Security Council, U.S.
Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson II
demanded that Soviet Ambassador
Valerian Zorin confirm or deny the
existence of Soviet-built missile bases
in Cuba, saying he was prepared to
wait “until hell freezes over” for an
answer; Stevenson then presented
photographic evidence of the bases
to the Council.
On this date:
In 1415, during the Hundred Years’
War, outnumbered English soldiers
led by Henry V defeated French troops
in the Battle of Agincourt in northern
France.
In 1760, Britain’s King George
III succeeded his late grandfather,
George II.
In 1854, the “Charge of the Light
Brigade” took place during the
Crimean War as an English brigade
of more than 600 men charged the
Russian army, suffering heavy losses.
In 1929, former Interior Secretary
Albert B. Fall was convicted in Washington, D.C. of accepting a $100,000
bribe from oil tycoon Edward L.
Doheny. (Fall was sentenced to a
year in prison and fined $100,000; he
ended up serving nine months.)
In 1939, the play “The Time of
Your Life,” by William Saroyan,
opened in New York.
In 1944, New York socialite and
amateur soprano Florence Foster
Jenkins, 76, performed a recital to
a capacity crowd at Carnegie Hall.
(The next day, a scathing review by
Earl Wilson in the New York Post
remarked, “She can sing anything
but notes.”)
In 1945, Taiwan became independent of Japanese colonial rule.
In 1954, a meeting of President
Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Cabinet was
carried live on radio and television; to
date, it’s the only presidential Cabinet
meeting to be broadcast.
In 1971, the U.N. General Assembly voted to admit mainland China
and expel Taiwan.
In 1983, a U.S.-led force invaded
Grenada at the order of President
Ronald Reagan, who said the action
was needed to protect U.S. citizens
there.
In 1986, in Game 6 of the World
Series, the New York Mets rallied for
three runs with two outs in the 10th
inning, defeating the Boston Red Sox
6-5 and forcing a seventh game; the
tie-breaking run scored on Boston
first baseman Bill Buckner’s error on
Mookie Wilson’s slow grounder. (The
Mets went on to win the Series.)
In 1994, Susan Smith of Union,
South Carolina, claimed that a black
carjacker had driven off with her two
young sons (Smith later confessed to
drowning the children in John D. Long
Lake, and was convicted of murder).
Three defendants were convicted in
South Africa of murdering American
exchange student Amy Biehl.
Ten years ago:
Acknowledging painful losses in
Iraq, President George W. Bush told
a news conference he was not satisfied with the progress of the long and
unpopular war, but insisted the United
States was winning and should not
think about withdrawing. Serial killer
Danny Harold Rolling was executed
by injection for butchering five University of Florida students in Gainesville
in 1990.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is from a
series written from 1959 to 1974 by
the late R.L. Heminger, publisher

had just completed another military
assignment.

History
Continued from page T2
Five years ago:
Deposed Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, his son Muatassim and
former Defense Minister Abu Bakr
Younis were buried at dawn in a secret
location, five days after Gadhafi was
killed when revolutionary fighters
overwhelmed his hometown of Sirte.
One year ago:
Declaring that “today is a time of
mercy,” Pope Francis closed a historic
meeting of bishops that approved an
important new direction in welcoming divorced and civilly remarried
Catholics into the church. Six people
Ohio Infantry, had been called into
federal service June 28, 1916, almost
a full year before the country had
became a belligerent in World War
I, in 1917.
During 1916, a Mexican outlaw,
Pancho Villa, had been causing trouble along the international border
and had entered Columbus, N.M., in
a bloody raid that cost American citizens’ lives. President Wilson ordered
Villa pursued and named J.J. Pershing, then a colonel in the U.S. Army,
to head a force to hunt him down in
Mexico.
National Guard units of some of
the states were called upon to join
the Pershing force, among them the
Ohio Guard. The Ohio Guardsmen
returned home March 24, 1917. Villa
eluded the American troops and the
chase was given up.
were killed when a Canadian whalewatching boat capsized off Vancouver
Island. Flip Saunders, 60, who rose
from the backwaters of basketball’s
minor leagues to become one of the
most powerful men in the NBA as
coach, team president and part owner
of the Minnesota Timberwolves, died
in Minneapolis.
Today’s Non-Show Business
Birthdays: Former American League
president Dr. Bobby Brown is 92. Basketball Hall of Famer Bob Knight is
76. Political strategist James Carville

mad.” — Adlai E. Stevenson II, American statesman (1900-1965).

The United States entered World
War I in April. The Findlay Guard, as
were the units across the state, was
kept at its barracks, upon its return
from Mexico, in anticipation of a call
for duty in World War I. A recruiting
campaign was conducted to bring the
company to its full strength and the
members of the unit were daily drilled
on Broadway. Frank J. Moyer was the
captain of the company, which had its
own headquarters on the second floor
of what (was) the Findlay Publishing
Co. building on Broadway.
While the company was still here,
a call came for some members of
Company A to go to Columbus to
join a regiment which was being put
together from over the entire state,
with soldiers from each National
Guard company. The new infantry
was to be named the Rainbow division and was to be the first to go
overseas from the Ohio Guard. A halfdozen or so of the Findlay members
of Company A left to join the newly
formed regiment.
The local company left in July 1917
for Camp Sheridan, Montgomery,
Ala., to train for its service overseas.
Other units of the 2nd Ohio regiment
came from Ada, Lima, Paulding,
Van Wert, Hicksville, Spencerville,
Bowling Green, Kenton, St. Mary’s,
Sycamore and Ottawa. Col. J. Guy
Deming, of Ada, was the commander.
At Sheridan, the 2nd Regiment was
“taken apart” and the troops assigned
to various units. Part of Company A,
of Findlay, went to the 145th Infantry,
part to the 146th Infantry and part to
the 147th Infantry. Other regiments
also were divided. The Ohio guardsmen remained in training at the
southern camp through the ensuing
winter, preparing for service abroad.
It was not until the spring of 1918 that
orders came to leave for Europe.
The division from the Buckeye
State, hearing the title of “37th,”
went into action in France and then
in Belgium. It participated in many
engagements and won many honors
for its brave and courageous battle
performance. A substantial number
of officers and enlisted men received
decorations, in recognition of their
records.
The report of the American Battle
Monuments Commission, in reporting on the 37th division casualties,
said battle deaths totaled 1,066 and
the wounded 4,321. There were 655
who were killed in action. The remainder of the battle deaths consisted of
men who died of their wounds later.
A total of 1,041 were gassed. Eighteen officers were killed in action.
Some of the battle casualties and the
wounded were from Findlay and Hancock County.
The history of the 37th division
in World War I was written by Col.
Ralph D. Cole, of Findlay, who was
with the division train and military
police. Assisting him was W.C. Howells, of Cleveland, a Cleveland Plain
Dealer staff member. The history is
in two volumes, which are in the Findlay public library. They contain more
than 1,100 pages of historical matter,
including a list of those who lost their
lives overseas.
Col. Cole represented the 37th
division at Paris in the spring of
1919 when the leaders met to form
the American Legion.
Most units of the 37th division
were discharged in April 1919.

Cash is piling up faster than
Warren Buffet can invest it
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Warren
Buffett has the kind of money problem
most people would envy: a growing
mountain of cash.
Nearly $73 billion piled up at Berkshire Hathaway by mid-summer, more
than Buffett’s conglomerate has ever
held before.
And the total continues growing
every day Buffett doesn’t make a
major investment because Berkshire’s
90-odd businesses generate roughly
$1.5 billion in cash every month.
Buffett’s options include buying
entire businesses, picking up a few
million shares of stock or investing
more in companies Berkshire already
owns, such as BNSF railroad and
the utilities of Berkshire Hathaway
energy.
So far, Buffett appears to be mostly
sitting on the cash since January,
when Berkshire completed its biggest acquisition in its history, a $32.36
billion deal for aviation parts maker
Precision Castparts.
“I think he’s looking for the right
price on something outstanding,” said
investor Andy Kilpatrick, who wrote
“Of Permanent Value: The Story of
Warren Buffett.”
Of course, not all of Berkshire’s
cash is available because Buffett
wants to keep at least $20 billion on
hand at all times just in case Berkshire’s insurance companies have to
pay a big claim or some other need
arises.
But Buffett says he’s always on
the hunt for sizeable acquisitions that
would fit well inside Berkshire, but
he won’t pay more than he thinks a
company is worth.
Buffett will only go after companies that fit his criteria for large,
proven businesses he can understand
and that have an enduring competitive
advantage.
“It’s hard to tell what he might be
looking for,” said George Morgan,
who teaches finance at the University
of Nebraska at Omaha. “All we can do
is wait and see.”
Buffett never discusses what he
might buy beforehand, and he doesn’t
talk much about all the deals he says
no to.
But that doesn’t stop investors
from guessing what Buffett might buy
next. Morgan’s favorite idea is that
Berkshire might buy Mars Candy if
the family that controls that privatelyheld firm ever wants to sell. Buffett
has long used Snickers candy bars
as the example when he explains
the concept of a durable competitive
advantage.
The fact that Mars now plans to
buy out Berkshire’s $2.1 billion in preferred stock in its Wrigley gum unit
may sour speculation about Buffett
adding another candy maker alongside Berkshire’s See’s Candy, but the
repurchase will add even more cash
to Buffett’s pile for other investments.
Other investors speculate that
Berkshire might continue expanding its utility unit. Over the past few
years, Berkshire has spent $5.6 billion to buy Nevada utility NV Energy
in 2013 and another $2.7 billion to
buy Canadian power transmission
provider AltaLink in 2014.
Buffett has said that Berkshire
will likely team up again with the
3G Capital investment firm at some
point. They already worked together
to buy Kraft Foods and Heinz, but it’s
not clear when the next deal involving
3G might come.
In the current interest rate environment, Berkshire is earning very
little on its mountain of cash, but Buffett isn’t likely to feel much pressure
from shareholders to make a quick
acquisition or start paying a dividend
for the first time since he took over
Berkshire in 1965.
After all, Buffett still controls
nearly one-third of the voting power of
Berkshire’s stock, and two years ago
Berkshire shareholders overwhelmingly rejected the idea of a dividend.
And Berkshire shareholders don’t
have to look back very far to see how
valuable a pile of cash can be.
In the wake of the financial crisis
of 2008, Buffett offered billions in
financing to Goldman Sachs, General
Electric, Harley-Davidson and others
in return for steep interest payments
and, in some cases, preferred stock.
But until Buffett finds his next
deal he’ll keep doing what he has for
decades: read more business reports,
take the occasional phone call and
wait for the right pitch.
Buffett compares investing to baseball, except that investing is a game
where the hitter can stand at the plate
indefinitely waiting for the right pitch.
“The stock market is a no-calledstrike game. You don’t have to swing
at everything,” Buffett said in “The
Warren Buffett Way.” ‘’The problem
when you’re a money manager is that
your fans keep yelling, ‘Swing, you
bum!’

Guinness declares massive
Michigan ice cream sundae a record
LUDDINGTON, Mich. (AP)
— Guinness World Records says
a roughly half-mile-long ice cream
sundae that was gobbled up in Michigan this June was the longest ever.
The Ludington Daily News reports
that the sundae measuring a little over
2,970 feet in length and fed thousands
of people lining eight blocks in the
Lake Michigan town.
House of Flavors organized the ice
cream event in Ludington, 100 miles
northwest of Grand Rapids.
According to Guinness, the previous longest ice-cream dessert was
created in 2015 in Manurewa, New
Zealand, and it was 1,957 feet and 1
inch.
Ludington’s record may be shortlived, however. MLive.com reports
Moo-ville Creamery and others in
Nashville, Michigan, tried to break
the record Sept. 17, making a dessert
that spanned 3,656 feet.
Texas skydiver loses, retrieves
borrowed shoe during jump
SALADO, Texas (AP) — A skydiving instructor in Central Texas who
lost a shoe during a stunt retrieved
the flying footwear after it bounced
off his chest and before either reached
the ground.
Shelby Palmer told KXXV-TV that
he was glad to catch the left shoe that
was part of a pair he borrowed from
another skydiver. Nobody was hurt in
the September jump.
Palmer works for Skydive Temple
in Salado. He and Christopher Elder
decided to do a stunt in which one
person holds on to another for a time,
then lets go.
Elder let go of Palmer sooner than
planned, knocking off the instructor’s
shoe.
Palmer worked his turn and
descent rate to reach the shoe, which
he grabbed and put on before reaching
the ground.
Both skydivers safely landed.

Fairness
Be fair to someone who needs an extra
hand
Try to understand what you can’t feel
Fairness is knowing and responding
that
we have different feelings, different
thoughts
Giving someone a chance if it’s not
life-threatening
Be fair if we don’t approve of someone’s
idea
If it’s not the same as ours
God is fair to all,
Even when we’re in the wrong
Fairness is an equal opportunity

My Prayer
I sit here thinking about my day.
To start it off right, I need to pray.
I pray for family and friends in need.
Can I help someone, do a good deed?
Prayer for the U.S., and all those that
lead.
It is, “your will be done,” I have to
concede.
I will end my prayer, in Jesus’ name,
My Savior, my Lord, they are one and
the same.

A Political Limerick
Campaigning is not very nice,
With attitudes colder than ice.
I wish they’d play fair,
And help clear the air.
I wish that we all could unite,
And stop all the fuss and the fight.
Behave like adults,
Despite all our faults,
And do for our country what’s right.
We all live under one flag;
A country on which we should brag.
The red, white and blue,
For me and for you.
Our loyalty should never lag.

Cheers! 1st drink
in 81 years sold in
formerly dry town
Worship and praise to the Creator
above
and affirmation of my love.
You’d think that we could just find,
A candidate honest and kind;
Who doesn’t call names,
And never defames;
I really can’t make up my mind.
Should we choose or just roll the dice?
I really don’t like either one.
Discussing it isn’t much fun.
(Peyton Manning’s my man —
I’m such a big fan!)
I wish it was over and done.
BRIDGEWATER, Conn. (AP) —
A simple plastic cup of beer has made
history by being the first alcoholic
drink sold in a small Connecticut
town in 81 years.
The affluent bedroom community of Bridgewater had been the last
dry town in the state until residents
approved alcohol sales in 2014.
The News-Times reported that the
first booze sold in town since 1935
was a cup of beer purchased at the
Bridgewater Country Fair.
Bridgewater native and volunteer
firefighter Jim Lillis took the first
sip before passing the cup to other
firefighters and fair volunteers who
gathered for the ceremonial sale.
Voters legalized alcohol sales two
years ago as developers proposed restaurants in the western Connecticut
town of 1,700 residents on the condition that they could sell booze. No
restaurants have opened yet.

Pumpkins go ballistic at
New Hampshire racetrack
LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — Pumpkins were going ballistic at the
New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Teams from as far away as Virginia came to the race track to
use trebuchets, catapults and air
guns to launch the fall fruit, some
of which made a gourd-geous arc
across the New Hampshire sky.
W hi le the pu mpk ins, some
weighing in at 1,000 pounds or
more, were the featured item, they
were not only things which were
being fired. Some smaller pumpkins flew up to two-thirds of a mile
across the speedway.
Other acts of wanton destruct io n fo r ge n e r a l a m u s e m e nt
included large, crane-like launchers to throw cars, motorcycles, a
boat and pianos.
Not all of the shots were successful. When a pumpkin misfired,
participants referred to the result
as a “pie.”
Some of the teams clearly took
seriously the task of getting their
medieval or earlier weapons systems in place and ready to launch.
“A lot of work to travel and set
up,” said Dave Shepard, a member
of the Mista Ballista team from
Fr a m i n g h a m , M a s s ac hu s e t t s .
“ Ta kes si x g uys m aybe 10 -12
hours.”
Some of the launchers demon-
strated significant shade-tree ingenuity. One team’s rig used garage
door opener springs, while another
put a half mile of surgical tubing
into service.
Category winners got a trophy
and a story to tell.
Elephant seal sets record by
swimming farthest west
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) —
Researchers with the University of
California Santa Cruz say an elephant
seal has set a record by swimming
farther west than any other tracked
elephant seal.
UC Santa Cruz officials said that
by the time Phyllis arrives back in
California in January, she will have
completed a 7,400-mile foraging
adventure. The 853-pound mother
of two covered about 3,700 miles of
ocean before turning around and heading home.
The average distance northern elephant seals usually swim during their
eight-month migration is 2,000 miles.
Año Nuevo Reserve director Patrick Robinson says UC Santa Cruz
researchers have been tracking the
marine mammals for 22 years at the
reserve in Pescadero, California.
He says they have compiled one of
the planet’s largest marine mammal
diving and tracking record.
The adventurous animal was
named after Phyllis Sooy, a late newspaper reporter and philanthropist.

In 1984, late Repubican-Courier Publisher and Editor R. L. Heminger wrote a story about a mysterious fire
at 206 East Lima St. in October 1889. The fire was attributed to a flying saucer attack. The upper portion of
the house was occupied by Dr. John Guise, his mother, and his wife. The fire began in the early morning,
and it was sheer luck that the Guise family was able to escape it safely. The fire began in the kitchen after Dr.
Guise had returned from a house call at 3 a.m. There was no fire in the stove, and Guise had taken the lamp
with him to the bedroom. At 4 a.m., Guise was awakened to discover the house on fire.
Heminger was advised that a book in 1966 listed the fire as having been started by magnetic rays from a
flying saucer. The book was called “Flying Saucers on the Attack” by Harold Wilkins. The fire was one of a
series of mysterious fires across the world that Wilkins attributed to flying saucers.
