Honest track coach gives Catholic school state title
NORTH ATTLEBOROUGH, Mass. – North Attleborough High was declared the winner of the state Division 2 meet Sunday, edging Central Catholic High of Lawrence by one point.
But when North Attleborough coach Derek Herber combed through the results Monday, he found a scoring error. He told his athletic director, who informed the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association and Central Catholic officials.
With the change, North Attleborough finished third. But the school’s athletic director told The Sun Chronicle that the community is more proud of the team now than after it was anointed champion.
Ministry to remove billboard with Hitler quote
AUBURN, Ala. – The founder of a children’s ministry in Alabama says a billboard featuring a quote from Adolf Hitler has been covered and will be removed.
The Ledger-Enquirer of Columbus, Georgia, reports the billboard at the Village Mall in Auburn features five smiling children beneath a quote from Hitler in a 1935 speech on the Nazi youth movement: “He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future.”
It was displayed on the sign with a Bible verse from Proverbs: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
The billboard immediately sparked comments on social media. Lamar Advertising officials say the billboard was rented by Opelika, Alabama-based Life Savers Ministries. Live Savers Ministries founder James Anderegg told the newspaper, “We are pulling the billboard and certainly never intended to cause confusion.” He added that in hindsight, it would have been better to quote Herbert Hoover who said, “Children are our most valuable resource.”
