Lady Godiva<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>By: Stan Jordan<\/b><\/p>\n

Lady Godiva was the wife of Leofric, the Earl of Merria she was a countess, she died sometime between 1066 and 1086.<\/p>\n

This picture was done by John Cullier in 1897, Herbert Art Gallery.<\/p>\n

That is where the name \u201cPeeping Tom\u201d comes from. Legend has it that all of the people were to stay inside and not look or peek, but a fellow named Tom, a tailor, peeked out of a 3rd story attic and was struck blind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the typical version of the story,\u00a0Lady Godiva took pity on the people of Coventry, who were suffering grievously under her husband\u2019s oppressive taxation. Lady Godiva appealed again and again to her husband, who obstinately refused to remit the tolls. At last, weary of her entreaties, he said he would grant her request if she would strip naked and ride on a horse through the streets of the town. Lady Godiva took him at his word, and after issuing a proclamation that all persons should stay indoors and shut their windows, she rode through the town, clothed only in her\u00a0long hair. Just one person in the town, a tailor ever afterwards known as\u00a0Peeping Tom, disobeyed her proclamation in one of the most famous instances of\u00a0voyeurism.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Another theory has it that Lady Godiva\u2019s \u201cnakedness\u201d might refer to her riding through the streets stripped of her jewelry, the trademark of her\u00a0upper class\u00a0rank. However, these attempts to reconcile known facts with legend are both weak; in the era of the earliest accounts, the word \u201cnaked\u201d is only known to mean \u201cwithout any clothing whatsoever\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

At the present time, there is a lot of repairing on the city sewer. At the north end of Main Street, a new pump and repair station. When they get down to Stone Street, that needs a new motor and all, and that is about 40ft deep. The sewer was put in around 1980 \u2013 81 and those parts are wearing out.<\/p>\n

OHIO STATE FOOTBALL<\/strong><\/p>\n

By: Stan Jordan<\/b><\/p>\n

I feel real bad and I know you do too,\u00a0 <\/span>if you follow the Buckeyes, about Nick Bosa not finishing the football season and entering the NFL draft in April.<\/p>\n

He was a defensive right end for the Buckeyes and he was the best. It will be very hard to replace him because he excelled in all of the categories of a D.E. He is 6\u20194 and 265 lbs. He was injured in the fall of 2018 with some damage to the chest and abdominal area. After missing a few games he has decided to drop out of football this season and recuperate so he can be in top shape for the NFL draft. He was born in 1997 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and went to Saint Thomas High School there and excelled and was all state all the time. He is leaving the school to put all his time in rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

All the big boys say he will be picked up in the first draft on a number five or quicker.<\/p>\n

Bosa played in all 13 games as a true freshman at Ohio State in 2016, recording 29 tackles, seven of which were for a loss, and five sacks.\u00a0His sophomore year, he became the starting defensive end for the Buckeyes in seven games. Bosa was named a unanimous First Team All-Big Ten and the Smith-Brown Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year for his 32 total tackles (14.5 for a loss) and a team leading seven sacks. Additionally, he had two pass breakups, eight quarterback hurries and a blocked kick. On September 20, 2018, it was reported that Bosa underwent core muscle surgery, ruling him out indefinitely.\u00a0On October 16, Bosa announced that he was dropping out of school to focus on his preparation for the\u00a02019 NFL Draft, where he is considered a potential first round selection.<\/p>\n
