AP photographer catches marriage proposal at the Eiffel Tower’s Christmas ice-rink PaRIs (aP) — It could have been a scene from fairytale movie “Frozen.” and an aP photographer snapping tourists at the Eiffel Tower’s Christmas ice-rink happened upon the fairytale moment recently. Real estate agent Jon Mcachran, 32, of Virginia Beach, Virginia, provoked instant applause when he got down on one frosty knee (and iceskate) to pop the question on the ice to his girlfriend ashley Marie Kimberl, 30, presenting her with a sparkling diamond engagement ring. Kimberl confirmed her answer to the aP: “We’re getting married!” she gushed that “it was a surprise, as our first date was on an ice-rink in Virginia.” This was not the first time that the question has been popped at the Eiffel Tower. Tom Cruise famously asked Katie Holmes to marry him there in 2005. Guidelines For Your ‘Celebrations!’ Welcome to Celebrations!, the place for your non-commercial announcements of nearly every kind.

THE COURIER TUESDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2014 2014 Best-in-theater List By MARK KENNEDY AP DrAmA Writer NEW YORK (AP) — The bestin-theater list for 2014 includes a musical with multiple murders, another w ith a cross - dressing German, one that’s set in a decadent Berlin nightclub, the revival of an America masterpiece and we celebrate someone who broke an important barrier. Our Top 10 list of the best in theater in 2014: 1. “Hedwig and the Angry Inch”: The cult story about a transgender East German rock star seemed just to be waiting for it’s time to shine on Broadway and Neil Patrick Harris turned out to be a perfect fit for her high heels. 2. “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time”: Mark Haddon’s best-selling novel about a 15-year-old boy with Asperger’s syndrome seemed an unlikely skeleton for a show, but director Marianne Elliott and choreographers Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett stage a swirling, beautifully kaleidoscopic, touching show. 3. “The Elephant Man”: One of the world’s hunkiest men went to Broadway and made himself hideous, using only his acting skills. +DSS\UG$QQLYHUVDU\ -RKQ0DUJDUHW.HDU DQG +DSS\WK%LUWKGD\-RKQ T3 CELEBR ATIONS For many young people in the audience, Bradley Cooper’s production may be the first time they come to Broadway. Now they’ll come back. 4. “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder”: It was The Little Engine That Could musical about an impoverished man who discovers he’s ninth in line to inherit a fortune. So he decides to eliminate the eight heirs of the D’Ysquith family standing in his way. Jefferson Mays plays all eight victims — two women and six men — and is the highlight of a clever, raucous show. 5. “Aladdin”: It’s got James Monroe Iglehart as a cartwheeling, high kicking genie who performs “Friend Like Me” with such skill that he gets a standing ovation. It’s also got a funny, self-mocking script by Chad Beguelin. Both make it a show everyone can enjoy. 6. “A Raisin in the Sun”: The revival helmed by Kenny Leon and starring Denzel Washington and LaTanya Richardson Jackson was a throbbing, vibrant production of the American masterpiece. President Obama even made the trip north to see it. 7. Norm Lewis becoming the first black actor to take on the title role in Broadway’s “The Phantom of the Opera.” It was a long overdue step and Lewis was classy as always: “I love the show but also to have hopefully set a precedent to see more diversity in casting,” he said. 8. “On the Town”: The 1944 romance-chasing romp by Leonard Bernstein, Betty Comden and Adolph Green is filling Broadway’s biggest theater with big, crowdpleasing dance numbers, lavish and clever visuals and superb performances from a massive cast. 9. Bryan Cranston, starring in “All the Way,” went from being Walter White, the sinister meth lord in the TV series “Breaking Bad,” to playing President Lyndon B. Johnson, an irascible, foul-mouthed oldschool politician. Cranston took home the Tony in his Broadway debut. 10. “Cabaret”: It’s a glorious revival of a show that is still glorious. Alan Cumming is debauchedly brilliant, and Danny Burstein and Linda Emond are perfect together. But the musical is so well made that Bryan Cranston could play Sally Bowles and it would be fine. Honorable Mention: A wonderfully wacky and yet poignant “The Cripple of Inishmaan,” a super cast of rising-star millennials playing Gen-Xers in “This Is Our Youth” and a searing and amazing “Disgraced.” +DSS\WK$QQLYHUVDU\ 7RP-R(OOHQ 7HQ(\FN Jerry and Helen (Sue) August will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary, Friday December 26th, 2014 with an Open House at the Greek Garden 321 South Main Street in Findlay from 1pm to 5pm.

(AP) — A sheep wearing a festive red-and-green sweater who was found wandering around Omaha has been reunited with his owner. Owner Margaret Vazquez tells KMTV she initially panicked when the sheep named Gage went missing. She says the sheep “follows me everywhere.” Nebraska Humane Society spokeswoman Pam Wiese says the sheep was reclaimed recently. The Humane Society was caring for Gage after he was found in an Omaha neighborhood. Gage shares a shed with two chickens, when he isn’t in his owner’s house. Gage is used to walking on a leash and doesn’t seem to mind that the holiday apparel he donned appears to have been designed for a dog. Vazquez says it was the first time Gage has escaped and now will spend more time indoors. R.

But here in my home I want you to know, you can’t laugh at me and my sweaters, so... Bah Hum Bug!

(a P) — Police in central alabama say a man’s own dog helped officers bust him on a drug charge. Prattville Police spokeswoman Paula Barlow says the pooch named Bo followed his fleeing master, who was being pursued by officers. When the dog stopped and wagged his tail in tall grass, she says, officers found and arrested Edwin Henderson. Barlow says the chase began when two drug officers arrived with a search warrant and Henderson took off running. after an investigator pointed at Henderson and told the dog “go get him,” that’s what Bo did. B a rlow s ay s Henders on is cha rged w ith fa i lure to obey police, manufacturing a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. It’s unclear if he has an attorney, and there’s no word on who’s taking care of Bo. General Sherman writes Lincoln about a Christmas gift EDITOR’S NOTE: This series celebrating our heritage during the 150th anniversary of the Civil War draws primarily from wartime dispatches credited to The Associated Press or other accounts distributed through the AP and other historical sources. Union forces led by Maj. Gen. William sherman reached savannah near the Georgia coast in december 1864, and the news spread quickly throughout Northern newspapers this week 150 years ago in the Civil War. “savannah Occupied by Gen. sherman” read one headline on a dispatch from The associated Press dated dec. 25, 1864. It said sherman had recently taken 800 prisoners, guns and ammunition. and in a famous line remembered long after, sherman wrote President abraham Lincoln: “I beg to present to you as a Christmas gift the city of savannah, with one hundred and fifty guns and plenty of ammunition, also about twenty-five thousands bales of cotton.” aP dispatches said Confederate ironclad vessels were blown up and the navy yard burned at savannah. The dispatch said the city of some 20,000 was quiet, and one officer called it an “almost bloodless victory.” T7 WEDDING WEDDING Jordan Martin and Brian Robinson, both of Findlay were united in marriage on August 9, 2014 at Nazareth Hall, Grand Rapids, OH.
