creatitis. Other causes are possible. One is an extremely high level of blood triglycerides, a form of fat. Viruses are another cause. Mumps, chickenpox, coxsackie (a widely distributed virus responsible for intestinal problems) and the hepatitis B virus target the pancreas. And finally, there’s idiopathic pancreatitis — inflammation for which no cause is found. Acute pancreatitis gives rise to severe, upper-abdominal pain that often bores into the back. Nausea and vomiting are common. The pain doesn’t come and go. It’s steady and can
last for days to a week. Treatment is resting the gland by not stimulating it with eating. Nourishment is provided through intravenous feeding. Pain medication is essential. One of the complications of pancreatitis is infection of the gland. That’s the reason why some doctors prescribe antibiotic therapy from the start. About 10 percent of acute pancreatitis patients go on to have a chronic inflammation of the gland. Looked at with more upbeat statistics, 90 percent of patients are completely well after the acute condition has been controlled.

Adults who carry on online romances with 13-year-old girls are called predators for good reason. DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of four years, “Taylor,” and I are opposites in that I like to be on time and he is generally late. We usually work this out by leaving for an event I choose at the time I want, and leave for his friends’ gatherings when he wants. My problem is leaving for the airport when we travel together. We use public transportation, which takes 45 minutes, but things can go wrong and make it longer. Taylor would like to leave so we arrive at the airport 45 minutes be-
Oct. 20, 1912 N.C. DeWeese, senior member of the firm N.C. DeWeese and Son, dry goods merchants, this week announced that he expects to retire from the business after a successful career of 47 years. C.B. DeWeese, the junior member of the firm, will also retire from the dry goods business in order that he may devote his entire time to the business of the Sidney Cement Stone Co. which he has been conducting for several years. ————— Beulah, the little four year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. T. Martin, had a narrow escape from death last evening, while playing on the road in front of her home in Jimtown. The youngster apparently became excited when the driver of the big touring car, from Lima, sounded his horn to warn her. She ran in front of the car and was struck. Fortunately the driver had slackened the speed of the machine and although thrown for some distance she was not seriously hurt. —————
fore our flights. This causes me a lot of stress because security lines can be long and I’m afraid of missing our plane. We have had to run through airports in order to avoid being left behind. I’d like to be at the airport an hour and a half before flight time to be safe. Taylor hates waiting in the terminal when security is light and thinks we could be doing other things with our time. Please save me from our next argument and tell us who is right. — FRAZZLED TRAVELER IN SAN FRANCISCO DEAR FRAZZLED: You are. Better to be safe than sorry, especially when you have nonrefundable tickets, I have been on flights when seats were given to standby passengers because the ticketed passenger was held up for some reason. There are worse things than having to kill a half-hour at the airport. Missing your flight is one of them.
Oct. 20, 1937 It was announced today that the popular Joey Ray’s orchestra will furnish the music for the first annual Fireman’s Ball to be held the evening of October 28 at Avon Lake. Funds received from the dance will be used to purchase some much-needed equipment at the fire department. ————— Maneuvering a pair of touchdowns in the first half followed by two perfect conversions, Sidney High’s Yellow Jackets scored their first victory over Piqua High in six years and their fifth successive win of the current campaign before an overflow crowd at Julia Lamb field here by a 14 to 13 margin, It was only the sixth win for the local eleven in the series between the two schools dating back to 1905. —————
50 years Oct. 20, 1962 LOS ANGELES — Walt Alston today was named to manage the Los Angeles Dodgers for a 10th season, scuttling rumors that he would be fired because his team blew the National League pennant on the final day of the season. The announcement was made by E.J. (Buzzie) Bavasal, general manager and vice president of the Dodgers. ————— Timothy G. Baumann younger son of Mr. and Mrs. W.F. Baumann of 879 Johnson Drive, recently was elected to
Alpha Omega Alpha National Honor medical society. Membership is based on high scholarship and is composed of a “nucleus” of medical students whose future holds promise of a high standard of service to the medical profession and the public. Baumann is a senior at Marquette University School of Medicine, Milwaukee, Wis., and will terminate his studies upon receiving his doctor of medicine degree in June 1963. —————
25 years Oct. 20, 1987 The verdict is in and Sidney Senior John Webster is guilty, guilty of being the best soccer player this community has ever produced. The evidence is overwhelming. He is in his fourth year of varsity soccer at the school and by the time his junior year was completed he had already broken the career scoring record at Sidney of 28. He scored one goal as a freshman, 13 as a sophomore and 17 last year to shatter the previous mark set by Chris Puckett. As this season began, there was really only one more goal for Webster to shoot at, the single season mark of 20 held by Mark Clayton. And Tuesday night at Greenville, he erased that record too, scoring twice in a 2-2 tie for his 21st and 22nd goals. ————— When the safe retrieved by French divers from the wreckage of the RMS Titanic is opened Oct 28, Sidney resident John Whitman, director of the Titanic Memorial Museum, will be on hand for the ceremonies. Whitman was to leave Dayton for the flight to England. After the safe is opened, he plans to continue on to France, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Germany and Italy. Whitman was invited to attend the televised ceremonies by the French government and the trip is being funded by the Cunard line, which absorbed the Titanic’s original owner, White Star Line. ————— These news items from past issues of the Sidney Daily News are compiled by the Shelby County Historical Society (498-1653) as a public service to the community.
