ZANESVILLE This Friday, a group of local activists and members of the homeless community will be sending a cry for help, without making any noise at all.

An informal group called SOS Zanesville, which was formed as a distress signal to support those in crisis, will hold a dinner at SaintThomas Aquinas Church at 5 p.m. Friday, followed by a silent procession and candlelight vigil in downtown Zanesville. Organizers of the event hope to raise awareness on housing issues in the city and encourage short term solutions, such as a warming shelter, as well as long term ones.

We want to keep attention on it, I think its easy for peopleto be aware of something but if theyre not familiar with the ramifications that people deal with on a daily basis its easy to forget about it, said Wendy Tarr, director of the Vincentian Ohio Action Network, who is helping with the event.We need to have continued attention and understanding of the urgency of this issue and thats really the purpose of this event.

The route of the procession has not yet been determined, but will begin at Saint Thomas after the dinner. The walk will end in a candlelight vigil at an undetermined location downtown.

The dinner and following procession are open to anyone in the community and organizers hope to include those who are directly affected by the city's housing issues. Members of various community groups, such as the Zanesville Think Tank on Poverty and Friends of Putnam, along with members of faith-based organizations, have partnered to host the event under the SOS Zanesville group.

Its like an outgrowth of a lot of different activity thats already been going on in the community," Tarr said.We want to build collaboration and the issues that were talking about are really long term ... This is really just one event but SOSis like a distress call, and housing isnt the only issue where people are in distress and calling out for help.

Zanesville City Council is considering an ordinance to adopt a housing needs assessment that showed zero vacancies in surveyed government subsidized apartments, 350 households on the Housing Choice Voucher wait list and concluded "very low-income renters have limited options available."

The survey's findings, along with the arrival of winter weather and struggles to start another warming shelter, led the group to hold the event. Members of SOS Zanesville and related organizations are still searching for another property owner to come forward and help start a shelter.

Theres nowhere for people to go, Tarr said. So thats a real challenge and we know that takes a coordinated effort to address.

With Friday's silent procession and candlelight vigil, Tarr said the event is aiming to convey the severity of housing and shelter needs in Zanesville.

Its kind of a somber issue. Its dark, its cold. We want there to be light for hopeto show that theres hope and that theres also a need for everybody to be bringing light and hope to the situation, Tarr said. People might die in the cold, and we dont want to see that. We dont want to see that and sometimes just showing up and being present on an issue is whats necessary to get the ball rolling."

DOORS to the Wokingham Mens Shed were officially opened this week, with new members welcomed to join the community of shedders.

Addressing a fifty-something crowd of shedders, volunteers and members of the Town Council, Ron Baillie chairman of the Wokingham group explained how the Mens Sheds can help tackle social isolation.

In a speech, he said: This is about bringing together guys to help themselves and their community.

To get them out of their house and out of their armchair.

The Mens Shed is a registered charity, with more than 500 locations across the UK.

The shed is a place for local men and women to make new friends whilst making and mending. Common activities include woodwork and metalwork.

Acknowledging those involved in the sheds launch, Mr Baillie said: Thank you to Janet and Amy from Wokingham United Charities who gave us a grant to help with the renovations, to Oxfam who have helped with the PAT testing of equipment, and to David Cliff who has supplied us with modern, new power tools.

The shed was renovated last month after the Latimer Road Pavillion building was approved for community use.

This building was going to be demolished, said Imogen Shepherd-DuBey, leader of the Town Council said.

It was being vandalised. But when Ron got in touch in May last year, we decided that if the building is looked after, then maybe people will respect it and leave it alone.

She congratulated Mr Baillie on his perseverance to open the shed and providing a good use for the community building.

Mr Baillie thanked Cllr Shepherd-DuBey for her help finding a suitable building for the shedders to use.

Cllr Tony Lack, Deputy Town Mayor was also at the opening. He added: Thank you for creating a resource for the town.

Its really great to see this resource and Ill see you in the shed for a cup of tea when I get a chance.

Vic Gardener became a member soon after the charity started.

He said: Its a great thing. Ive got short term memory loss, and it really helps to meet other people and get out of the house.

Another shedder added: This is somewhere you can go without making an appointment, and you can learn lots of skills from other people.

Its about getting people out of the house.

Currently, the Shed has 20 members, however they hope to increase their membership to 50.

The shed is open two days a week, but if they hit their 50-member target, the shed will open more frequently.

WALLINGFORD Picking right up from their Carini Bowl rout on Thanksgiving, the Sheehan football team chewed up a second straight opponent at Riccitelli Field on Wednesday night, routing Woodland Regional 51-0 in the CIAC Class S quarterfinals.

The game was over early. The fourth-seeded Titans put up 30 points on the No. 5 Hawks in the first quarter and took a 44-0 lead into halftime.

Combined with their 56-0 Carini Bowl win over Lyman Hall, the Titans have outscored their last two opponents 107-0.

Next up for 9-2 Sheehan is top-seeded Ansonia (11-0) in Monday nights semifinals. The Chargers defeated Plainfield 30-12 in their quarterfinal.

Ansonia, coached by Wallingford resident Tom Brockett, will host Sheehan at Nolan Field.

It will be the second straight Naugatuck Valley League opponent for Sheehan.

Woodland was no obstacle. The Titans forced the Hawks to punt 3-and-out on the games opening possession. Two plays later, Terrence Bogan broke free for a 69-yard touchdown up the middle untouched.

The extra point was good and the Titans led 7-0 all of 1:55 into the game.

Woodland promptly deepened the hole. On the next drive, quarterback Tyler Bulinski was picked off by Jason Villano and the Titans wasted no time extending their lead. Jordan Davis took a pass from Kyle Simmons and broke a few tackles on his way to a 33-yard touchdown.

Woodlands next drive resulted in another 3-and-out. On the punt, Woodland fumbled the snap and Sheehans Anthony Castaldi recovered it at the 3-yard line.

On Bogans second carry of the night, he recorded his second touchdown of the game, this time punching it in from one yard.

It was 21-0 and the cycle only continued. Woodland went 3-and-out with 0 yards gained.

Sheehan took over, drove into the red zone and, facing fourth down at the 19, brought on kicker Garrett Molampy, who drilled a 36-yard field goal.

The Titans scored another touchdown on a 39-yard pass from Simmons to Michael Lemay to take a 30-0 lead right before the end of the first quarter.

Woodland finally gained success on its next drive. The Hawks gotinside Sheehans 10-yard line, but on third-and-goal, cornerback Riley Bjornberg denied the scoring opportunitywith an interception in the endzone.

On the ensuing drive, it appeared the Titanswould be stopped and forced to punt for the first time of the night.Instead, an offsides penalty against the Hawks on fourth-and-1 extended the possession andthe Titans took full advantage, scoring the next play on a 66-yard touchdown pass from Simmons to Jordan Davis.

Sheehan led 37-0 at the top of the second quarter.

The Titans scored their sixth touchdown and Bogan his third on a 21-yard run by the senior running back.

Defensively, the Titans recorded four sacks in the first half, with Thomas DiPasquale recording 2.5 sacks alone.

Sheehan began the second half with the ball at Woodlands 48-yard line after recovering an onside kick.Bogan took one carry before subbing out of the game. He became Sheehans all-time rushing leader with Wednesday nights performance.

Senior running back Russell Rutowski capped the 51-0 win with an 8-yard touchdown run. The drive took up the whole length of the third quarter as the game went on running time, quickly counting down the minutes to Sheehans semifinal showdown with Ansonia.

MIAMI -- The Miami Marlins will join Major League Baseball's trend toward artificial turf by installing the surface at Marlins Park for 2020, and they'll move in the fences for the second time in four years.

CEO Derek Jeter said an artificial surface solves the challenge the Marlins have had growing grass in the retractable-roof stadium since it opened in 2012. They'll install the same turf used by the Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers.

Five of the 30 teams in the majors now will have artificial turf. Arizona added it this year, joining Toronto and Tampa Bay. Texas' new ballpark opens in 2020.

"While playing the Diamondbacks in Arizona, we were able to get a close look and examine the new surface at Chase Field," Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill said on a team website. "We agreed as an organization that this change was for the best after our players and staff had encouraging remarks regarding the playability of the playing surface."

The Marlins also plan to move in their fence in center and right-center field. The distances are changing from 407 to 400 feet in center and from 399 to 387 in right.

The distances "will now be more in line with the field dimensions you see across many of today's ballparks," Jeter said.

Since it opened, Marlins Park has had a reputation for being pitcher-friendly. This year the stadium had the third-lowest home run rate in the majors.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo, whose team plays in Miami three series a season, said the new turf will require an adjustment.

"It does change how you play the game just a little bit," Nimmo said. "The bounces ... they can actually bounce over your head rather than right. So we'll see how it plays."

Sabre Raymond Zhao is among the newcomers getting acquainted to the college level By Helen Ly 7 hours ago Credit: Eric Zeng

The Penn men's and women's fencing teams have gone through their fair share of changes this year, but the fencers are optimistic about the teams future. A number of freshmen have joined the Red and Blue, and the transition to college fencing has proven to be a major challenge.

Sabre Raymond Zhao is a starter for the men and has done a lot to improve his skills in a college-level environment.

The main difference is youre fighting for a school, [not] yourself, so the intensity is incredible," Zhao said.

Competing for the Quakers is what gives him extra motivation to work harder, and hes quickly learned what it takes to become better.

You have to focus on these short burst of strategies, focusing on clutch situations, and working under pressure, which [are all] important aspects of college fencing," he said.

Sabre Enzo Bergamo and epee Madeline Adams-Kim both see majordifferences between fencing competitions in high school and in college.

The system points are different, and in college, its about adapting to the new format," Bergamo said. The matches are quicker than what youre used to in regular fencing.

High school was more individual and trying to get a higher ranking for yourself, but now, each time you win, you get a point for the team, Adams-Kim agreed.Its team-oriented, which I like a lot."

Being a small fish in a big pond, Zhao, Bergamo, and Adams-Kim are three of the many freshmen new to Penn fencing. However, the bond between the incoming teammates has grown exponentially.

Our team has made great efforts this year, especially acclimating the freshmen with group events," Zhao said. The group cohesion is really good."

Bergamo has found a community in the team, as the fencers share common goals and all experience growth both as athletes and people.

Get our newsletter, Dear Penn, delivered to your inbox every weekday morning.

It is a big family, and everyone received the freshman very well and is always striving to improve and [be] on the same page. he said.

In terms of personal goals, Zhao has high expectations for himself. He hopes to qualify for the NCAA Championships and is very hopeful about the rebuilding process of the team. Adams-Kim also has lofty goals, looking forward to making it to NCAA Regionals and possibly, Nationals.

With a fresh face of athletes, the fencing team continues to strive towards improvement. No matter the end result, the rookies of Penn fencing will play a crucial role in the team's success.

New to the team, these Penn fencing freshman are stepping up on the mat - The Daily Pennsylvanian

This piece was originally intended as an open letter to the Columbia Fencing Team, urging them to accept the presidential invitation to the White House. It has since been edited to reflect the time passed.

Earlier this month, the Columbia fencing team received an invitation to the White House to be honored for winning the 2019 NCAA championship. The announcement of the invitation immediately polarized our team. Some fencers expressed their intentions not to attend, others were hesitantly excited, and many were more preoccupied with the potential optics of their decision than their personal feelings about the invitation. Even though the Columbia fencing team already went to the White House last week, I still think it is important to note the significance of this eventnot only the larger significance of the teams visit but the smaller significance of the individual decisions made by Columbia fencers. Columbia fencers had the choice as to whether or not they would personally accept the presidents invitation to the White House, and the majority chose to attend.

Unfortunately, this decision did not apply to me (despite the fact that I am on the fencing team), since I was representing the country in an entirely different capacity: competing for the United States at a Junior World Cup in Laupheim, Germany. But I still would like to discuss how important I think it was for my fellow teammates to personally accept the invitation.

I consider that decision to be pretty damn brave. In todays political atmosphere, on Columbias ultra-liberal campus, during this particular election year, you may reasonably fear the social ramifications of visiting the Trump White House. You may fear political ramificationsbeing incorrectly or uncomfortably labeled as a conservative, a Republican, or worse (especially on this campus): a Trump supporter. But I urged my teammates to keep in mind one thing: This decision does not have to be a definitive statement of your personal politics. The recognition of your accomplishment does not need to be politicized, and accepting a presidential invitation does not constitute support for the incumbent. It should be possible to visit the White House out of pride in our accomplishment and respect for the office of the president of the United States without being labeled (properly or improperly) as a Trump supporter.

Furthermore, the fact that we as collegiate athletes even had the option of accepting or rejecting a presidential invitation is in and of itself a privilege. In some other countries, we may not have a choice. It should not merely be a point of pride to us as NCAA champions to be invited to the White House. It should be a point of pride to us as American athletes that we were offered an invitation, as opposed to an order.

But I know that for many fencers on the team, visiting the White House out of a sense of national pride or respect for the presidential office was insufficient. The decision still felt inherently political, and some fencers felt that declining the presidential invitation was the most effective way to demonstrate their opposition toward President Donald Trump or his policies. (A few fencers chose to attend and try to deliver a letter to the president, but thats a subject for another essay.) But I think a much stronger statement was made by the fencers who chose to attend, and in doing so, continued one of the most important legacies of American athletics.

I believe the history of American athletics has consistently demonstrated one clear message regarding the confrontation of controversy: Choosing to attend an event and taking a stand for what you believe in always makes a stronger statement than sitting at home. Take Jesse Owens, the Black track and field athlete who chose to compete at the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany (and won four Olympic golds). Take Kathrine Switzer, who registered as a man to run in the 1967 Boston Marathon, and famously evaded race officials trying to physically impede her from participating in the event. Or the members of the 1971 U.S. table tennis team, whose demonstration of sportsmanship with Chinese athletes at the World Table Tennis Championships in Japan led to a reinstatement of diplomatic relations between the United States and China. Any one of these athletes could have chosen to stay at home and all faced backlash for their decision not to. But their resolve to participate in controversial events demonstrates clear support for attendance, or at the very least activeness when faced with a controversial decision. To me, this makes perfect sense. Were athletes; sitting out does not impress us.

So my fellow Columbia fencers, even though the White House invitation (and all the controversy that came with it) already came and went, I encourage you to continue to realize how important of a statement it was to be invited and to have gone. In the future, if youre given another invitation to the White House or any other similarly significant event, make a statement that you will not allow your sport and your accomplishments in that sport to be politicized. In the future, when faced with decisions such as this White House invitation, make a statement that the spirit of camaraderie in athletics is stronger than the divisiveness of a controversial invitation. Make a statement that the Columbia fencing team is what it claims to be: a family that supports each other no matter the circumstance.

And most importantly, if you do not support President Trump (which I should now say I very often dont), consider how even more important your visit to the White House was. For those of you that attended, you have shown that your pride in your country and your accomplishment is more important than your feelings about the current president. You have shown that this current president is not the only representative of our country. He and his administration alone do not define this country. We do. And what we chose to do in this situation was more representative of our country and our countrys values than of President Trump.

The significance of the Columbia fencing team at the White House - CU Columbia Spectator

It is a common dilemma for any hard-bitten politician faced with a hostile crowd: how best to make a sharp exit to avoid embarrassment?

For one 63-year-old Tory councillor confronted with a less than receptive audience during a climate crisis debate the answer was to clamber over some bins and scale a fence.

Nancy Bikson was a last-minute replacement for the Conservative prospective MP Maria Caulfield, who was too busy to attend climate hustings for candidates in the key marginal seat of Lewes, East Sussex, at a school on Monday evening.

Explaining that she was afforded little time to prepare for the event organised by local groups, including a branch of Extinction Rebellion, Bikson said she would not be sticking around for questions after making a short speech. She attracted groans from the crowd, with one man heckling her before she even began speaking, asking: Why dont you go now?

Bikson said she cared deeply about the environment and that she did her bit but concluded, to further groans: Its all about us, there is no such thing as government. Government is just people.

Though she eventually gained polite applause, Bikson left the stage after other candidates made speeches and the event was opened to questions from the audience.

However, when she left via the fire escape she found herself outside in a dead end as the school gates were locked. Rather than trudging back through the packed hall to get out, she pondered her predicament for up to 45 minutes before opting to climb over the fence.

Biksons great escape would have stayed secret were it not for a 13-year-old girl who saw the incident at Priory school.

The teenager, who did not wish to be named, said: I left about an hour early and about half an hour after she [Bikson] left the stage. I came outside and I was about to cycle off and she was behind the gate next to our school canteen which was locked and said, excuse me, can you help me? She sounded quite desperate. I said the only way back out is through the auditorium and she said she didnt want to go back through the auditorium because of everyone. She said they all despise me and they dont want me to go back in there.

Explaining that she felt sorry for the stranded politician, the teenager added: I went back into the canteen to try and open the door from the inside [allowing her a route of escape] but it was locked. Then I got a caretaker. I said a caretaker is coming but she said, dont worry, Ill just climb over the gate. And she got up on the school bins and climbed over the gate. Shed been out there for a while.

After hearing the tale, the schoolgirls mother, who runs a business managing composers, brought the councillors ordeal to a wider audience, posting on Facebook: Lewes Tory MP Maria Caulfield failed to show for tonights climate hustings. Her last-minute replacement left the hall before the questions, having first explained that she knew nothing about climate or the environment.

She was spotted by my daughter 45 minutes later still trying to find her way off the premises without having to go back through the hall. She ended up climbing the fence via the bins. Ignominious.

Bikson apparently admitted her actions later, telling the Evening Standard on Tuesday It was only because there wasnt any other way and I didnt want to disrupt everybody. It was either that or sit outside for a couple of hours.

But when the Guardian rang to get her version of events she was tight-lipped, replying: I can neither confirm nor deny, thank you.

Lewes was previously held by the former Liberal Democrat minister Norman Baker for nearly two decades before being won by Brexiter Caufield in 2015. But the Conservatives only have a majority of just over 5,000, meaning the constituency, which narrowly voted remain during the EU referendum, is a top target for the Lib Dems.

Dashel Drasher off the mark over fences

Jeremy Scott will think about future plans rigorously after Dashel Drasher opened his account over fences in spectacular type at Haydock.

A four-time winner over hurdles, the six-year-old discovered solely the high-class Champ too sturdy on his chasing debut at Newbury however then made it solely so far as the primary fence when renewing rivalry with Nicky Hendersons cost in a Grade Two occasion on the identical monitor final week.

Bidding for swift compensation simply 5 days later, Dashel Drasher was the 10-11 favorite for the Conservatory Insulations Novices Chase and there was a lot to love about the way in which he dispatched Champagne Thriller by seven lengths underneath common accomplice Matt Griffiths.

Scott mentioned: It was a humorous race, as a result of they went no gallop and there have been numerous fences taken out.

I do not know the way a lot we will learn into it, however I am delighted as a result of he clearly jumped a lot better than he did at Newbury which was nice to see.

I am unsure the place well go now. Theres Cheltenham in 10 days time or Cheltenham on New Yrs Day for the Dipper Novices Chase, however that will likely be fiercely aggressive.

In case youre not cautious you may find yourself having your hand pressured, so well have slightly take into consideration what we do now.

I am unsure we have learnt right now. He appeared to quicken up nicely there over practically two-and-three-quarter miles, nevertheless it was a humorous race.

I believe well stick at this type of journey for his subsequent run anyway, and go from there.

Essentially the most taking efficiency of the afternoon on the Merseyside venue got here from Hendersons Maries Rock, who maintained her unbeaten report emphatically within the Be a part of Racing TV Now Introductory Hurdle.

Profitable on her solely earlier look in a Ffos Las bumper throughout the spring, the Middleham Park Racing-owned filly travelled with zest within the arms of Nico de Boinville earlier than displaying a wise change of drugs to seal a five-length success.

Middleham Parks Tom Palin mentioned: I assumed it was a powerful efficiency on simply her second begin. We thought it appeared fairly a deep race beforehand and we might have been proud of second or third, to be sincere, so she has stunned us a bit.

She was slightly bit eager early on, however general I assumed it was fairly knowledgeable efficiency.

How far shell go, I do not know, however she seems one of the crucial thrilling Nationwide Hunt horses we have had lately on the proof of what shes performed right now.

I will should run it by the syndicate and Mr Henderson, however I might be fairly eager to go for the Listed mares novices hurdle at Taunton on the finish of the month.

Coach Jonjo ONeill loved a double on the cardboard, with Ashfield Paddy (4-1) touchdown the Racing TV Conditional Jockeys Handicap Hurdle underneath Edward Austin earlier than Jonjo Jnr steered Cobolobo (9-Four favorite) to a clear-cut success within the College Of Liverpool Thoroughbred Horseracing Industries MBA Handicap Chase.

Legoland has plenty of your standard amusement park fare with some worthwhile and highly edible standouts. Its on a much smaller scale than megaparks like Disney, and the nicer restaurants are located inside the hotel and beach resort. But inside the park, the food is completely on theme.

In The Lego Movie, Lord Business masterminds Taco Tuesday, an event when he will attack Bricksburg with the Kragle, putting an end to everyone messing with his stuff. In the Lego Movie World, one of its dining options has turned a once a week event into a daily occurrence with Taco Everyday. Chicken, brisket, and crab are filling options, with guacamole, cilantro or chipotle vegetable slaw and pickled onions. You can also get a pair of specials: Bennys Out of This World Taco and Unikittys Cuckoo Taco, served in blue and pink soft tortillas, respectively, with Double Decker Sofa-Pilla bites for dessert.

In Lego Kingdoms, the Dragons Den, as youd expect, serves medieval-inspired fare. Turkey legs, bratwurst, honey-battered corn dogs, and beer from Winter Havens first and only craft brewery. Grove Roots Brewing Co. has ownership of multiple taps, so there are a few choices, including a rotating selection of seasonal and special-release brews.

Another thing to keep an eye out for: apple fries. Yes, theyre a thing at Legoland, and theyre just what they sound like: Granny Smith apple sticks fried, dusted with cinnamon and sugar and served with whipped cream or a la mode. They make a great snack stop that isnt totally unhealthy and is unique to Legoland.

At the Kickn Chicken Co., choose from a menu of salads, wraps, or tenders (including vegetarian-friendly chicken), but the best bets are the chicken and waffles or the chicken BLT. This spot is seasonal only, and the closest options are Firehouse Ice Cream for floats, shakes, and ice cream or the Panini Grill (which has great sides like the corn salad, potato salad or kale salad, but skip the panini).

Within the Legloand Hotel, there are two dining options: Bricks Family Restaurant, a buffet-style restaurant that serves breakfast (included in your stay) and dinner; and the Skyline Lounge, serving an a la carte lunch and dinner menu. And the Beach Retreat part of the park features Sandys Lighthouse Restaurant, with a breakfast buffet thats included in your stay and a la carte lunch and dinner menus with apps (nachos, eggrolls, wings), salads, sandwiches, burgers, and pizzas.

One super-cool thing about Legoland dining is that if a visitor has any food allergies or special dietary needs they don't have to miss out: a quick email to the Legoland chefs will be responded to with a list of restaurants and dishes that best suit their needs, or theyll even offer to prepare a special meal to be served at a specific restaurant at a specific time.
