Calamity bill saves Elidas Easter Break
BY CYNTHIA YAHNA Herald Correspondent news@delphosherald.com ELIDA House Hill 416 saved Easter Break at Elida Local Schools. The bill signed by Gov. John Kasich on March 26 allowing school districts an additional four calamity days once they have used the days included in their contingency plans for inclement weather. Elida School Board President Christine Ulrich announced the news Tuesday after a special school board meeting. A unanimous vote by the school board allows the district the flexibility to allow students an Easter Break on April 17, 18 and 21, Ulrich said. The district had used the original five days allowed by the state and four more during this past winters storms with near-record snowfalls and sub-zero temperatures. Following the vote, board members entered into an executive session to discuss contract negotiations.
Holdgreve reaches $50K goal for cancer research

Information submitted DUBLIN In December of 2010, three months after his testicular cancer diagnosis, 1994 St. Johns High School graduate Jay Holdgreve established the Jay Holdgreve Endowment for Testicular Cancer Research at The Ohio State Universitys James Comprehensive Cancer Center. In just over three years, the goal of raising $50,000 was reached. With this milestone attained, the Jay Holdgreve Endowment for Testicular Cancer Research at The Ohio State Universitys James Comprehensive Cancer Center becomes officially endowed, meaning it will fund testicular cancer research for decades to come. Reaching $50,000 in such a short time period is amazing, Holdgreve said. I could not have done it without the support of my family and friends. Fundraising for the endowment has been a grassroots effort with Bowling for the Boyz, an annual bowling fundraiser at the Delphos Recreation Center, playing a major role. The three that were Holdgreve previously held brought in more than $25,000 and the fourth is to take place on April 12. More information can be found at tcare.org under the Bowling
Hiking with Faith: A journey of hope and encouragement

BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Amy Stull Kwiatkoski and her dog, Faith, are hiking the North Country Trail (NCT) in hopes of becoming the first woman and dog team to complete the 4,600-mile trail. Their journey began on March 22 at the Michigan/Ohio state line and based on a 15-20-mile-per-day schedule, the duo we will be at end of their itinerary on or around Nov. 1 in Alton/Lowell, N.Y. Our daily miles will most likely fluctuate due to our stamina/health, the terrain and weather, Kwiatkoski said. We have not scheduled any days off but will take those as needed. Along the trail, she and Faith are sharing their message educating people on senior dogs and encouraging them to support local shelters and rescues. With over 40 percent of Americans living within an hours driving distance from the trail, we hope to reach many caring people, Kwiatkoski said. We are encouraging people to give these animals forever homes and if people cannot foster or adopt, they can support a local shelter or rescue group. Kwiatkoskis hiking companion, Faith, is an 7-year-old, blue-eyed Husky mix breed. I adopted Faith from a Kentucky animal rescue when she was about 3 years old, Kwiatkoski said with a huge smile. She is a beautiful, intelligent and amazing creature. Kwiatkoski explained that when she taught elementary special education, she used Faith in the classroom as a therapy dog. At the beginning of the year, many students realized they were not strong readers and would be reluctant to read aloud to me, she detailed. I would ask students to read to Faith, then discretely stroll by accessing their reading abilities. If a child became distracted and stopped reading, Faith would gently paw at the page. Faith is also incredible with helping Kwiatkoski socialize and train the many foster dogs she and her husband have had in their home. Kwiatkoski works with Northern Michigan Animal Rescue Network, in Topinabee, MI and The Au Sable Valley Animal Shelter in Grayling, Mich. Our shelters and rescues are inundated by the vast number of senior dogs that come through the door on a daily basis, she said. For some reason, some people think that senior dogs arent as worthwhile or valuable as the younger dogs but I want to change that way of thinking. She said adopting an older dog is a truly amazing and Amy Stull Kwiatkoski and her dog, Faith, are hiking the North Country Trail positive experience.

Lawmakers approve deal to allow Tesla in Ohio

COLUMBUS (AP) Electric car maker Tesla Motors could operate three dealerships in Ohio under an amended bill unanimously passed by the state Senate on Tuesday. Passage comes after Ohio auto dealers struck an agreement last week with the California-based Tesla that would allow the company to continue operating its existing stores in Columbus and Cincinnati. Under the deal, Tesla could open one more store, which is planned for Cleveland. It then would be barred from opening others. The measure would prohibit other manufacturers from selling vehicles directly to the public. Ohio had been among states proposing to block Tesla from setting up additional direct-sales galleries on grounds that they undercut traditional auto dealerships. Dealers in Ohio saw Tesla as a threat to a system in which nearly all dealerships are independently owned franchises that are separate from manufacturers. They had told state lawmakers that their businesses can only prosper when the law separates manufacturers and dealers. The issue arose after the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles issued a license to Tesla authorizing the company to open its own stores in Cincinnati and Columbus. Senate President Keith Faber, a Celina Republican, said the agencys move was out of step with prior precedent, and the bill seeks to address the decision. Asked whether others in the auto industry have had problems with the state franchise law, Faber told reporters, Other than Tesla and their unique brand of marketing, I have never heard a concern outside of Tesla.

Household getting ready for Spring cleaning

BY LOVINA EICHER The temperature shows 33 degrees on our thermometer. That is 20 degrees warmer than yesterday morning. We had a snow earlier this week, just enough to cover the ground. Once the sun came out, the snow didnt last too long. With the beginning of April next week, it makes us even more eager to see warmer weather arrive. My husband, Joe, and the boys are hauling manure every chance they get. The manure pile was too frozen to start earlier. Church services will be held here in five weeks so its time to get started cleaning up everywhere. The yard needs to be raked but its still been too cold to work outside. Id rather wait until a warmer day to do that. Meanwhile, here in the house, we are doing odd-andend jobs to start preparing for spring cleaning. Today, daughter Verena and I plan to wash the laundry. Hopefully after that we can wash off some walls in the bedrooms upstairs. The boys bedroom will be the worst room to clean. I do not know how they manage to get disorganized so fast. We want to start with their closet and drawers, which will probably be as far as we get this afternoon. We received a birth announcement from niece Verena and husband Melvin. They were blessed with their first child after being married 11 years next month. How exciting it must be for them! Little Micah Dean was born on March 11. Melvin and Verena live about five miles from here. We hope to drive over sometime to meet their precious son. We also have two wedding invitations hanging on our refrigerator. Congratulations to Benjamin and Arlene and also to Devon and Jolene. We wish both couples Gods richest blessings to a long and happy married life together. Its hard to believe that Joe and I were married over 20 years already. Time has gone so fast and God has been a great help through good times and bad. Tonight are parent/teacher conferences at the school, which brings the third quarter to a close. Im not sure how many days will be added yet because of the weather this winter. Spring break will be April 7-11. I wish they could use that week for make-up days so school wouldnt go so far into June. I must get started. There is too much work waiting on me. Try this pizza. If you like barbecued chicken, Im sure youll like this. BARBECUED CHICKEN PIZZA 4 large boneless chicken breasts 1 medium onion, chopped 2 8 ounce packages of mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup barbecue sauce pizza dough 1 cup chopped green peppers 1 cup chopped ham prepared mustard 1 cup pizza sauce 2 tablespoons oil Prepare your favorite pizza dough. Cut chicken into bite size pieces and saute chicken and onions in oil until chicken is tender. Place pizza dough in 15-x-10-x-1 inch pan. Spread a thin layer of prepared mustard on dough. Combine barbecue and pizza sauce and spread evenly over mustard. Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes, then spread chicken, ham, peppers and cheese over dough. Bake another 15 minutes, or until done.

In a body thats t, theres no room for smoking. The link between smoking, disease, and death is strong, and the message that smoking kills is clear. But not everyone is listening.

We know what goes through peoples bodies when they smoke, but what goes through their minds? Often, its wrong ideas about smoking. Smoking affects you from head to toe: It makes your hair stink. It makes your breath stink. Smoking causes cancer in the mouth and throat. It causes heart disease and stroke. Smoking causes lung cancer and other lung diseases. It leaves you short of breath and Where do we get all these facts about smoking? Much of them come from the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. You can nd it online at http://www.cdc. gov/mmwr/mmwr_wk.html. M o r b i d i t y ? Its a fancy word for the number of people with a disease. M o r t a l i t y ? Thats the number of people who die. Hmmm. What does smoking have to do with disease and death? Oh yeah: Smoking kills you. Its right there in the report.
Dont fool yourself
Write a letter to the newspaper editor that explains your views on smoking in public (restaurants, hospitals, ofces, schools, etc.). Think about the rights of smokers to smoke around nonsmokers. less able to run around, climb stairs, or kick a soccer ball. A lot of young smokers think they can quit whenever they want. Theyre wrong. Cigarette smoke contains nicotine, a drug that makes addicts out of people who never wanted to get hooked. Most kids who smoke have tried to quit in the last year but couldnt. Most adult smokers became addicted before they turned 18. Some kids who smoke think they can smoke for a year or two without risking their health. Theyre dead wrong. Based on the number of people under 18 who smoke, experts predict that some ve million kids who are alive and smoking today will die early. A few kids think smokers look cool. Oh yeah? After a few years of smoking, you get what doctors call smokers face: deep wrinkles and gray skin. In fact, doctors can tell if a person smokes just by looking at them. And thats cool? Bleccch.

Lady Cougars open on winning note vs. Jeffcats

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com VAN WERT Without a heavy west wind Tuesday night at Jubilee Park, the Jefferson at Van Wert fast-pitch softball opener would have likely been a pleasant contest to watch. Still, despite that wind, both teams played a solid opener as the Lady Cougars grabbed a 5-3 non-league victory. The host Cougars the game was moved from Jeffersons park to Van Wert due to wet grounds used two hurlers: Brooke Bowen (3 innings pitched, 1 hit, 2 unearned runs, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts) and freshman Kateri Steinecker (1-0; 4 IPs, 2 hits, 1 ER, 4 BBs, 4 Ks). They spoiled the debut of Jefferson sophomore pitcher Claire Thompson replacing graduated 4-year varsity pitcher Taylor Branham in going the distance (6 IPs, 8 hits, 5 runs, 4 earned, 3 BBS, 6 Ks; 101 pitches, 65 for strikes). Weve been working a lot with Claire on consistently throwing strikes. She came out nervous but got better as the game wore on, Jefferson coach Josiah Stober explained. She has big shoes to fill in replacing Taylor, a great pitcher for us, but she did a nice job, especially considering we didnt have a chance to scrimmage anyone due to the weather this spring, so this was the first live batting she faced. Van Wert head man Mike McClure had a similar lament. This was our second time on the diamond and first game. Overall, you have to be happy with that, he observed. We played a relatively clean game overall pitching, hitting and defensively. There were a few mis-

Jefferson sophomore Claire Thompson fires toward home during the teams season-opening fast-pitch softball game at Van Wert Tuesday. (Delphos Herald/ John Parent) takes but not many; considering the circumstances this spring and the wind, which can cause havoc, Id say we did well overall, though its a long season. The Wildcats got their first two runs in the top of the first. Senior Hannah Sensibaugh got aboard on an infield error and advanced on a 1-out passed ball and wild pitch. After junior Samantha Branham walked, a wild pitch plated Sensibaugh and moved courtesy runner Riley Tippie to third, from where she scored on a sacrifice fly by sophomore Jessica Pimpas for a 2-0 edge. Van Wert tried to get one back in the home half. Senior Alyssa Bowen walked and burgled second but Thompson fanned the next three. The Cougars took the lead for good in the bottom of the second. Claire White singled to right center and Sage Royer blooped a hit to short center. Both advanced on a wild pitch. Miranda Stottsworth walked to juice the sacks. Samantha Rohrbacker lofted an outfield fly ball that was dropped for an error, allowing White to score but Royer getting forced at third. Kelsey Spridgeon garnered a free pass to load the bases and a wild pitch plated courtesy-runner Phoebe Eutsler for a 2-2 game. Alyssa Bowen flied out to left to get Rohrbacker home and Tiffany Ricketts ripped a double to left that scored Spridgeon for a 4-2 edge. Sensibaugh singled with one down in the top of the third but was caught trying to stretch it into a double by leftfielder Emily Bair. The Lady Cougs scored their last run in the bottom of the third. With two down, Royer doubled to right center and came plateward via a bloop to right by Stottsworth. She ended up at third on two wild pitches but stayed there. The Lady Cats threatened with a big fourth frame against Steinecker. Back-to-back free passes to Branham and Pimpas started it. An out later, junior Shayla Rice doubled to right center to score courtesy-runner Tippie for a 5-3 deficit and put Pimpas at third. An out later, freshman Abby Parkins walked to load the bases but they were left that way. See JEFFCATS, page 7

From there, the rest of the afternoon belonged to the Lady Raiders as Wayne Trace rolled to a 13-0 victory over the Big Green in the softball season opener for both schools. Baumle, a junior pitcher/ infielder for Wayne Trace, finished the night with three singles and a home run while driving in three runs to lead the red, white and blue to the season-opening win. The Raiders Molly Crosby kept Ottoville off balance all night long, allowing only three hits and two walks while striking out ten. It was a good way to start the season, commented Lady Raider head coach Jack Baumle. The girls did a good job of making adjustments at the plate and we were able to hit the ball pretty good today. Pitching-wise, Molly threw the ball pretty well overall and defensively we made plays when we needed to. It is a good win to open up with. After Crosby set the Big Green down in order in the first, Baumles blast quickly put the Raiders in front 1-0. With two outs still in the first, the red, white and blue wasnt done. Crosby and Carley Wright put together back-to-back singles as the Raiders put runners at first and second. After Madison Zartman entered as a courtesy-runner for Wright, the Wayne Trace running game went to work. Crosby moved to third on a passed ball and then advanced home as the throw to third was errant by Ottoville catcher Mazzie Brinkman. Zartman also came around to score on the play to make it 3-0 Raiders at the end of one inning. Wayne Trace widened the margin to 4-0 in the second. Bailey Bergman reached on an Ottoville error to start the inning, moved to second on a Carrie Thrasher single and advanced to third on a Baumle infield hit. Bergman then scored when Mackenzie Swary reached on a fielders choice. We were able to take advantage of scoring opportunities, continued the Raider mentor. The red, white and blue then broke the game open in the third. Wright and Libby Stabler each hit 1-out singles before a two-run double from Bergman plated Zartman, who again ran for Wright, and Stabler to push the advantage to 6-0. Bergman, Brenda Feasby and Thrasher also scored in the inning as the Raiders grabbed a 9-0 lead entering the fourth inning. The girls did a better job of hitting their pitch as the game went, noted the elder Baumle. I thought early on we werent as patient and we didnt get the pitch we wanted to hit. As we came through the lineup the second and third time, we were much better hitters in that aspect. Wayne Trace completed the scoring with four runs in the fourth. Emilie Linder opened the inning by reaching on a dropped third strike and scored on a Stabler single. Stabler, Bergman and Madison McClure also scored in the inning for the Raiders to set the final margin at 13-0. Ottoville had a runner at second in the third, fourth and fifth innings but was unable to advance them any further. Stabler added two singles and a RBI for the lady Raiders with Thrasher also posting a pair of singles. Wright posted two hits as well for Wayne Trace. Swary, Crosby and Feasby recorded a single each and Bergman posted a double along with two runs batted in. Swary drove in a pair of runs as well. Nikki Burgei led Ottoville with a double while Courtney Von Sossan and Kendra Eickholt had a single each. Von Sossan took the loss for the Big Green, allowing 15 hits, 13 runs (six earned) and three walks while fanning one in the contest. The Big Green returns to action Thursday as Ottoville visits Allen East in a nonleague battle. Wayne Trace will host Paulding in a nonleague affair on Thursday as well, weather permitting.

Power back in the spotlight following St. Pete win

JENNA FRYER Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Will Power left a late dinner and headed out on foot through the downtown streets of St. Petersburg, where nearly every stranger he passed congratulated him on his win. It was the same way at the restaurant, as diner after diner stopped by his table. Even the manager, who moved things around on a crowded Sunday night to accommodate the winner of the season-opening IndyCar Series race. Power was a bit embarrassed. But attention is the price of winning, and Power had not done much of that over the last 23 months. After opening the 2012 season with three consecutive wins, Power fell into an unusual slump. He didnt win again that season, but used consistency to remain in the title hunt, only to cough away his chance at the title by crashing early in the finale. It was a heartbreaking defeat for Power, who lost the championship in the final race of the season for the third consecutive year. Losing is the lowest form of misery for the hyper-focused Australian. His fitness and diet regime are obsessive, his quirks can be considered eccentric and Power has been accused more than once of being consumed by racing and what it takes to be a champion. Yet as he slumped through most of 2013 he was winless the first 14 races and the one-year anniversary of his last victory came and went Power found that hed never been happier. He learned to accept defeat. It required him learning how to let it go, to stop obsessing over the smallest of details, and to go into every race weekend determined to have some fun and not stress about the championship. Ive just got to keep reminding myself, It doesnt matter if you lose, Power said after Sundays win. Youve just got to keep reminding yourself that its a race, and you race hard to win a race. I just race now, race hard. Thats the only way to think of it, not think of points. I want to win a championship, but I like winning races. Hopefully the two come together and it happens. It finally came together for Power in the 15th race last season at Sonoma, where he picked up his first win of the year. He won at Houston, and again in the season finale at Fontana, the same place hed crashed away the championship a year before. Power finished fourth in the final standings, his worst result since he became a fulltime driver for Team Penske in 2010. But he won three of the final five races, and that was good enough for him. I hate attention. I just loved last year. No one paid attention. I could just do my thing, he said. I hope it continues. I dont want people to talk about me. I like to be low key. I dont like to be in the limelight. And he wasnt during the offseason or the buildup to the St. Pete opener. The attention was instead on new teammate Juan Pablo Montoyas return to IndyCar after more than a decade away, or Tony Kanaans move to replace Dario Franchitti at Target/Chip Ganassi Racing. There was talk about Scott Dixons bid to defend his series title, Sebastien Bourdais quick pace in offseason testing and Ryan Hunter-Reays attempt to return to his championship form. Nothing about Power. That changed Sunday, when he led a race-high 74 of 110 laps and cruised to the win. That makes four of the last six, dating back to last seasons strong close, and now one cant help but wonder if Power will again be in the mix to win everything this year. Will is quick no matter what. If he gets out in front, its going to be hard to take it away from him, said Hunter-Reay, who beat Power for the title in 2012. Hes going to be in the hunt for the championship no matter what, unless he has some crazy bad luck. Will definitely hasnt skipped a beat. Hell be a definite pain in the rear end this year. So whether he likes it or not, the attention is on Power. And no matter how hard he tries, he still cant shake his compulsive urge to win every time he gets in the car. But he can manage it a whole lot better. Can you have fun not winning? Do I have fun? No, he admitted. You know what? You come here to win. Good, hard racing is fun. You start at the back of the grid, you finish up third, thats fun. Theres nothing worse than just struggling, though, not having the car or equipment to do well. That gives you a good hit your self-confidence, you start to question yourself. I just remind myself that everyone is human, youre capable of doing everything everyone else is if you work hard.

Jefferson baseballers open Jays open on short end of baseball loss with shutout of Kalida
By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com KALIDA A more veteran Jefferson baseball squad ruined the head coaching debut of Kalidas Joe Recker with a solid overall performance in an 8-0 opening-game shutout on a gorgeous spring afternoon and early evening Monday at Holy Name Ballpark in Kalida. Jefferson senior righthander Ross Thompson (1-0; 5 innings pitched, 1 hit, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts) and fellow senior Jordan Herron (2 IPs, 1 hit, 4 BBs, 2 Ks) combined on the 98-pitch 2-hitter (56 strikes). The only hits came from Kalida freshman Noah Lambert one a double while junior Brent Hovest had a pair of walks. Jefferson worked its way for eight hits and eight walks against a trio of Kalida hurlers sophomore southpaw starter Austin Swift (3 IPs, 1 hit, 2 earned runs, 5 BBs, 1 K, 1 wild pitch), sophomore Trent Gerding (1 IP, 5 hits, 5 ERs, 1 BB, 1 WP, 1 hit batter) and senior Randy Zeller (3 IPs, 2 hits, 1 ER, 2 BBs, 2 Ks, 1 HBP). Junior Ryan Bullinger had the only multi-hit game, going 2-for-2 (1 run, 1 run batted in), while senior Austin Jettinghoff slapped a 3-run dinger in the 5-run fourth inning, Thompson walked three times (2 runs), sophomore Josh Teman two times and freshman leadoff hitter Jace Stockwell was plunked twice. We had a good overall performance. It started with Rosss pitching he did what you expect a fourth-year varsity pitcher to do; throw strikes and get ahead of the batters, Jefferson coach Doug Geary noted. We played good defense behind him, which is one of the areas we know we have to do well. We got good production throughout our lineup, especially the bottom part of the order. Weve got some young kids that helped us out tonight and well need them to continue that. Despite the loss, Recker liked what we saw overall. We only had two really bad innings and they were costly. Weve got a young group out there and we improved from start to finish, he added. Austin struggled to find the strike zone and threw a lot of pitches in three innings; we know he will get better from today. We lost to a quality program and a quality team tonight. For me, as long as we learn from this, I can live with that. Thompson drew a 2-out walk in the top of the first inning, stole second and advanced to third on a passed ball but went no farther. The visiting Wildcats went up 2-0 in the second. With one down, Herron and Teman walked and senior Tyler Rice grounded a single into left that plated pinchrunner Damien Dudgeon and moved Teman to third. After Rice was caught stealing by Hovest, a wild pitch with Bullinger at the plate scored Teman for a 2-0 game. Thompson earned a 1-out walk in the third but was eliminated on a forceout by junior Nick Fitch. A passed ball advanced him to second but he was left stranded. Kalida finally nicked Thompson in the bottom of the third on a 1-out double to the fence in left center by Lambert but he went no farther. The Red and White Wildcats exploded for a 5 spot in the fourth against Gerding, sending 10 to the dish. Herron led off with a single to center, stole second, went to third an out later on a comebacker by Rice and scored as Bullinger switching from batting lefty to righty slapped a double that hugged the right-field line. Stockwell was hit by a pitch and a wild pitch moved both runners up. Jettinghoff then went yard over the left-field fence (around 320 feet) for a 6-0 scoreboard. Thompson lined a hit into right, stole second and, after Fitch walked, scored on a shot that hit off the pitchers mound and into short center by freshman Hunter Binkley for a 7-0 spread. Hovest led off the home half with a single and advanced to second on an error on a 1-out pickoff try. However, an out later, he was gunned down by Fitch trying to burgle third. Teman started the Delphos fifth with a walk against Zeller and was caught stealing by Hovest. An out later, Bullinger lined a hit to right and Stockwell was again plunked. However, both runners were stranded. The visitors tacked on the final run in the top of the sixth. Thompson commenced it with another free pass and Fitch hit a bad-hop single past third baseman Lambert. Junior Kurt Wollenhaupt laid down a perfect sacrifice and Thompson scored from third on a Herron bounce-out to second for the eighth and final run of the night. Kalida mounted a threat in the bottom of the sixth against Herron. Lambert walked and two outs later, Hovest and Zeller also walked to load the bases. However, the hosts could not score and left the bases juiced Kalida junior Colton Farrell garnered a 1-out walk in the last of the seventh and advanced on a 2-out liner to left by Lambert. However, Farrell was forced at third by Drew Hovest for the final out. Jefferson visits Hardin Northern tonight, while Kalida is off until a home doubleheader at 10 a.m. Saturday versus Elida.

By LARRY HEIING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com WAPAKONETA It was opening day on Monday in ballparks across the country for Major-League Baseball under sunny blue skies and warmer temperatures. Monday also marked a new season for St. Johns baseball coach Ryan Warnecke as he fielded a team with many question marks with only two returning starters from last year. The Blue Jays traveled to Wapakoneta for the season opener. They out-hit the Redskins 8-7 but committed a four errors that led to a 6-3 loss. St. Johns went down 1-2-3 in the first inning and the Redskins scored on an RBI double by Chase Culver to take a 1-0 lead. After a Kyle Pohlman walk in the top half of the second inning, junior Austin Heiing got the first hit of the season for the Blue Jays with a drive that fell into rightcenter field. Heiing was erased when the Redskins pulled a double play off a grounder by Gaige Seffernick to end the inning. The home team erupted for three runs in the bottom of the inning, highlighted by doubles by Nate Kaeck and Nick Bruns, to lead 4-0 after two innings. The Jays scored their first run of the 2014 campaign when Buddy Jackson led off with a single and advanced to second on an error. Jacob Youngpeter followed with a walk to continue the scoring threat. After Andy May and T.J. Hoersten were retired, senior Ben Wrasman came through in the clutch with a single to score Jackson. Wapakoneta was held scoreless for the first time in the bottom of the third when Hoersten caught Chase Culver attempting to steal third base during his stretch. The Blue Jays showed that they paid attention to the off-season coaching as they worked together in perfect harmony to run down Culver in the pickle play to end the scoring threat. Heiing got his second hit of the game with a single up the middle and advanced to second on a perfect bunt by Seffernick. Jackson then got his second knock with an RBI single to right to score Heiing and the Jays cut the lead in half 4-2. The bottom of the inning was a remarkable display of the Blue Jay defense. After Quinn Lotridge hit the fourth double of the game for the Redskins to the wall in center field, Wrasman hit the cut-off man Seffernick who turned and fired a bullet to Jackson at home plate to nail Koch who was attempting to score. Jackson was also a human wall behind the plate as he knocked down numerous pitches in the dirt to keep the base-runners in place. After the Redskins pushed across a run, third baseman J.R. Keirns grabbed a rocket off the bat of Culver for the final out of the inning. May opened the fifth inning with a single to right field that knocked starting pitcher Martig from the game. Lefty Zack Goliday entered the game and retired the next three Blue Jay batters with two strikeouts twice registering 75 mph on the scoreboard. See JAYS, page 8
Jeffcats
(Continued from page 6) The home team challenged in the bottom of the fourth. With two down, Ricketts walked and Steinecker singled but they could get no more. Van Wert kept the pressure up in the host fifth. With two outs, Stottsworth blooped one just behind third sacker Rice but nothing became of it. The Wildcats tried to rally more in the top of the sixth. Pimpas led off with an infield hit off the pitchers glove but was forced out at second by freshman Danielle Harman. Harman never went farther. VW got a leadoff bad-hop single by Spridgeon that handcuffed sophomore second baseman Kiersten Teman but she was forced by A. Bowen. She stole second and moved to third on a 2-out wild pitch but remained there. The visitors had one last chance in the seventh. With one gone, sophomore Sophie Wilson walked but was eliminated on a grounder by Sensibaugh. She advanced on a wild pitch but became the fifth and final stranded base-runner for the visitors. Overall, this was a good opener. We got better as we went along, Stober added. Again, when you consider the lack of actually getting much practice time or any scrimmages outside, then throw in the wind, and we played a pretty good defensive game. Our bats were making contact, which isnt bad for the first live pitching weve faced. Jefferson visits Hardin Northern 5 p.m. tonight. Our plan going in was to throw Alyssa for three innings because we have another game Wednesday and she will likely start that one, too, McClure added. We were hoping to have a bigger lead but it didnt happen. We had some timely hitting to get some reasons. Again, it was a nice overall effort. Van Wert is at home (4:30 p.m.) tonight versus Lincolnview.

UConn again sends men and women to Final Fours

By PAT EATON-ROBB Associated Press STORRS, Conn. Shabazz Napier and Niels Giffey were texting Stefanie Dolson on Monday moments after the UConn women beat Texas A&M to earn their way into the Final Four. The guys were making fun of her postgame television interview and teasing her over a reverse layup she had made after putting the ball high off the glass. But most of all, they were congratulating her for helping to secure the schools bragging rights as the college basketball capital of the nation. Thats the magic about UConn, Giffey said Tuesday as his team prepared to leave campus for Dallas and their own Final Four. You just have those two big-time programs and everyone gets along really well. The womens 69-54 win, coupled with the mens 60-54 upset of Michigan State on Sunday, advanced both UConn teams to the national semifinals in the same year for the fourth time. We were in the hotel room and watching their game, and when we realized they won and made it to the Final Four, we all ran out to the hallway screaming and excited, Dolson said. Its just a camaraderie between the two teams, and its pretty special and something not a lot of schools have. There have been just seven other schools that have sent both its mens and womens team to Final Fours in the same year. Louisville did it last season. Georgia was the first to do it in 1983. The feat has also been accomplished by Duke, Oklahoma, Texas, Michigan State and LSU. But UConn is the only school to do it more than once. In 2004 they went a step further, becoming the only school to win both the mens and womens national titles. The teams have appeared in a combined 20 Final Fours since 1991. Whats happened and whats happening is just nothing short of remarkable, and the only people who probably dont celebrate it enough are the people in Connecticut us, womens coach Geno Auriemma said Monday. We at times take this stuff for granted that, yeah, were UConn and were supposed to be there. I like that, but I think every once in a while we should sit back and go, What weve done is absolutely remarkable. The teams open each season bonding in a joint practice they call First Night. This year, for the first time, that included a scrimmage, with each coach leading a mixed roster of men and women against each other. They share the same weight room in Gampel Pavilion, and split the court for practice time. That will change this spring when a new $40 million practice facility next door opens, with separate courts for each team. But we share so much, classes, what we do, DeAndre Daniels said. Weve always been close, and we always will be close. Auriemma is much closer to Kevin Ollie than he is to former mens coach Jim Calhoun. But that frosty relationship never extended to the players. Ray Allen said he was waiting for the Huskies at their locker room when the women won the first of their eight national championships in 1995. Dolson has helped lead the student cheering section at the XL Center during the mens games. Auriemma sometimes lifts weights with the mens players. They will, on occasion, sit in the stands during his practices to watch and learn. Napier said he treats the guys just as if they played for him. Hell come to me and hell be like, You need to stop fouling so much, or You need to take control of the team, just give me advice thats much needed, he said.

Woods has back surgery, will miss the Masters

By DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press Tiger Woods chose surgery to heal his ailing back over a quest for another green jacket, announcing Tuesday that he will miss the Masters for the first time in his career. Woods wrote on his website that he had surgery Monday in Utah for a pinched nerve that had been hurting him for several months, knowing the surgery would keep him from Augusta National next week for the first time since he was a senior in high school. The No. 1 player in the world is a 4-time Masters champion. After attempting to get ready for the Masters and failing to make the necessary progress, I decided in consultation with my doctors to have this procedure done, Woods wrote. Id like to express my disappointment to the Augusta National membership, staff, volunteers and patrons that I will not be at the Masters. Its a week thats very special to me. It also looks like Ill be forced to miss several upcoming tournaments to focus on my rehabilitation and getting healthy. The Masters gets the highest television ratings of any golf tournament and Woods commands most of the attention, even though he last won a green jacket in 2005. He won his first Masters in 1997 when he set 20 records, from youngest Masters champion at 21 to his 12-shot margin of victory. I know Tiger has been working very hard to return to form and as I have said many times, Tiger has a lot of years of good golf ahead of him, Jack Nicklaus said. I hate to see him robbed of some of that time by injury. But we all know he is doing what is in the best interest of his health and future. I wish him well on a speedy recovery. Nicklaus played 154 straight majors for which he was eligible until he missed the 1998 British Open because of an ailing left hip that he had replaced a year later. Nicklaus rarely had injury problems in compiling 18 professional majors, the record that Woods wants. Woods has been stuck on 14 majors for six years. Woods has had four surgeries on his left knee, and now his biggest concern is his back. He has been coping with back issues since last summer: a twinge in the final round of the PGA Championship and spasms in the final round of The Barclays that caused him to fall to his knees. Then, they returned with alarming regularity recently in Florida. He withdrew after 13 holes in the final round of the Honda Classic with what he described as lower back pain and spasms. Woods shot the highest final round of his career at Doral a week later when he said his back flared up again in the final round. He skipped the Arnold Palmer Invitational, where he was the 2-time defending champion, to rest his back and do everything possible to be at Augusta National next week. Tiger was gracious in keeping us updated of his condition and making us aware of his decision, Augusta National chairman Billy Payne said. We wholeheartedly offered our best wishes for his immediate and long-term recovery. Woods wrote he had a microdiscectomy for the pinched nerve, performed by neurosurgeon Charles Rich. A microdiscectomy is a type of minimally invasive spine surgery to relieve pressure and pain caused by a herniated disc. Operating through a small incision in the lower back, surgeons remove small disc fragments that are pressing against spinal nerves. Recovery can take several weeks and doctors typically advise against bending and twisting the back until patients are completely healed. This is frustrating, Woods said. But its something my doctors advised me to do for my immediate and longterm health. His website said repeating the motion of a golf swing can cause problems with a pinched nerve, and that the injury could have become worse if he had continued to play. Woods said he hopes to return to golf this summer, though he could not say when. Its possible he could at least start chipping and putting in three weeks. He will have to wait until the U.S. Open maybe longer to resume his quest to match Nicklaus in the majors. Woods won his 14th major at the 2008 U.S. Open on a badly injured left leg that required season-ending surgery two days after his playoff win at Torrey Pines. He has not won another major since then. This would have been the 20th straight Masters for Woods, dating to 1995 when he tied for 41st as the U.S. Amateur champion. He missed the British Open and PGA Championship in 2008 after knee surgery, and the U.S. Open and British Open in 2011 to heal more injuries in his left leg. But he never missed the Masters, even after the scandal in his personal life at the end of 2009. Woods had been out of golf for nearly five months dealing with a car crash into a fire hydrant, revelations of multiple extramarital affairs and 45 days in a Mississippi clinic when he returned to Augusta National under intense scrutiny. He tied for fourth. Even though he hasnt won the Masters in nine years, he had only finished out of the top 10 one time, in 2012. Woods has 79 career wins on the PGA Tour, three short of the record held by Sam Snead. He already was off to the worst start of his career. Its tough right now, but Im absolutely optimistic about the future, Woods said. There are a couple (of) records by two outstanding individuals and players that I hope one day to break. As Ive said many times, Sam and Jack reached their milestones over an entire career. I plan to have a lot of years left in mine. Americans get top seed for new International Crown The International Crown on the LPGA Tour has all the trappings of the best team event in golf until the Olympics in 2016. And considering there will be no team medal awarded in Rio, the LPGA event might be best team format in golf after the Olympics. The Americans nudged South Korea as the top seed for the International Crown, which features eight teams of four players on July 24-27 at Caves Valley in Maryland. The combined world ranking of their four players Stacy Lewis, Paula Creamer, Lexi Thompson and Cristie Kerr added to 32. South Koreas ranking added to 33 with Inbee Park, So Yeon Ryu, Na Yeon Choi and I.K. Kim. Japan is the No. 3 seed with 131 points, illustrating a large gap after the top two countries. The other teams are Thailand, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan and Australia. A new tournament, which required more planning than usual, means England and teen star Charley Hull will have to sit this one out. The eight teams were locked in when the International Crown was announced in November. Englands four best players amounted to No. 9. Over the last four months, Hull won her first pro tournament on the Ladies European Tour, and her ranking went from No. 119 to No. 67. Holly Clyburn moved up 23 spots to No. 98 with two good finishes. If the teams were determined Sunday the cutoff for players England would have been the No. 7 team and Australia would be out. But there was reasons for teams to be locked in eight months in advance: sponsorship, promotion and television. If we waited until later, you cant knock on someones door and say, How would you like to support the International Crown in three weeks? LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan said Tuesday. And we wanted to make sure we had quality television deals in the countries that are playing. We have good TV deals. But this event is more significant for a lot of countries than a regular tour event. He plans to start announcing some of the sponsors this week at the LPGAs first major of the year. As for players who qualify for the teams, Whan said he could see moving the deadline back as the International Crown gets more traction. For the first year, however, he thought it was important for players to have more than enough time to build their schedules around it. These arent just LPGA players; eight of the 32 players who qualified for the International Crown are not LPGA members. Three players from the top 10 in the world will not be at Caves Valley because their countries did not have enough highly ranked players: Suzann Pettersen (Norway), Lydia Ko (New Zealand) and Shanshan Feng (China). Whan expects there to be some flaws, and he would be prepared to identify them after the first year. When you bring a brand new idea to the game, be prepared to be critiqued. And on the flip side, reach each one and dont be put off, he said. New doesnt come easily.
Jays
(Continued from page 7) Wrasman made an ESPNquality Web Gem diving catch of a drive by Cody Morgan to the gap in right center field. Wrasman sprinted and dove to catch the ball before it hit the ground to record the first out of the inning. After Kaeck grounded out, Metz and Bruns walked. Coach Warnecke made a trip to the mound for the pitching change. Jorden Boone walked the first batter he faced (Koch) to load the bases but got out of the jam when Lotridge flied out to left field. Pohlman led off the sixth inning with a single to center and advanced to second on a pitch in the dirt. Seffernick advanced Pohlman to third base in text-book fashion with a ground-out to second base. Jacksons third hit of the contest drove in Pohlman for his second RBI and the Jays trailed 5-3. The Redskins got an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth and the Blue Jays went down quietly in their final at bat for the 3-run loss. After the game, Warnecke was happy with my teams performance. This is our first time out this season with seven new starters and I thought we played really well. We made some mistakes and that was the difference in the game. We need to get back to work and cut down on our errors. Former Blue Jay catcher and assistant coach Austin Reindel summed up the game, telling his players That Ive played at Wapak many times and this is the closest weve ever been to them. Wapakoneta only committed one error in the game. Winning pitcher for the Redskins was Martig. Hoersten pitched well for the Jays but still suffered the loss. The next game for St. Johns will be their home opener (weather permitting) at 5 p.m. tonight against basketball state champion Crestview.

Reverse mortgage is not for everyone

DEAR BRUCE: I have a friend who will be 62 years old in June 2014. She is seriously considering a reverse mortgage. Are reverse mortgages a good idea? Personally, I dont trust anything the government has to offer. -- Janie, via email DEAR JANIE: First, there is nothing wrong with reverse mortgages. Whether or not they are a good thing for your friend is another matter altogether. Its important to understand what a reverse mortgage is. Simply put, it is a loan against the equity in the home that does not have to be paid until such time as the owner is no longer in the picture or stops living in the home. The fact that most are guaranteed by the government is not a problem from my prospective. You say your friend will be 62, which means she will get a relatively modest amount of money. Why? Because she could live in the house 20 or 30 more years. Generally speaking, I dont think a reverse mortgage is really smart for everyone. I dont think its wise to consider until a person is in her early to mid-70s. I would have to know more about your friend to be more helpful. She must be cash poor. If you want to give me a brief overview of the specifics -- how much she owes, income, etc. -- I am happy to comment further. DEAR BRUCE: Is it legal for a company to charge a customer a processing fee for each check they receive for payment? -- Reader, via email DEAR READER: If you are talking about the fee on your checking account, absolutely! The company can charge what it wishes, and you have the choice to take it or walk. If you feel that you are being overcharged, you can avoid this by moving the account somewhere else. It may very well be that this kind of fee is charged only on relatively modest-sized checking accounts. The reality is, on low-balance accounts, there isnt any profit to be made. I understand your frustration, but you have to understand that a bank is a business and has to make a profit. DEAR BRUCE: I want to

purchase my first home, but I want to get a great deal. Since the housing market dropped, I believe I have my choice of whatever falls in my price range. I would like to start by looking at homes that have been foreclosed on or went bankrupt. Can you tell me where I can find this kind of information? -- F.H., via email DEAR F.H.: Everybody wants to get the best deal possible, and I certainly cant fault you in that. Yes, the market has dropped, and you believe you may have the choice of whatever falls in your price range. But let me tell you, in some markets, youre already a little bit late. Some markets have rebounded very well; others are still soft. You are going to have to determine what type of market you are looking at and move accordingly. You can contact lenders about homes that have been foreclosed upon. Thats easy to find out at your county seat, where the foreclosure documents are filed. You can also contact banks directly and ask who the brokers are that are handling the foreclosures. It may very well be that you should consider homes that are not in foreclosure -homes being sold by people who are trying to get out from under. If nothing else, you are going to find that type of transaction is a lot clearer and easier, certainly less timeconsuming. I admire your wanting to get a good deal, but dont be blinded by the idea that if you are not ripping somebody off, you are not getting the best deal. (Send questions to bruce@ brucewilliams.com.

German Mutual holds annual meeting, elections

Information submitted The German Mutual Insurance Company of Delphos annual meeting and election was at the home office located at 112 E. Third St, Delphos, on March 17. Don Wiechart was appointed to serve as election clerk and Rick Hellman as judge. The results were as follows: Four At Large positions on the board were up for vote. Ed Etzkorn, Denny Elwer, Mike Schimmoeller and Irvin Moenter were elected to serve as directors for 2014. The Allen County Directors position was on the ballot with Steve Ostendorf re-elected to serve a three-year term on the board. Joyce Gable also was re-elected to serve a three-year term as Allen Countys representative on the Audit Committee. Due to the merger of United Mutual Insurance Company of Hancock County, an amendment was passed to add a director from Hancock County to the Constitution and Bylaws of German Mutual Insurance Company of Delphos. The current Hancock County director will be Thomas Higbie. Another amendment to the Constitution & Bylaws that passed was due to a request by Ohio Department of Insurance to add a section that outlines the duties and responsibilities of the nominating committee. Immediately following the annual meeting, the board met to elect officers for the upcoming year. Etzkorn was re-elected to serve as board president; Elwer was also re-elected to serve as vice-president and Schimmoeller will again serve as treasurer for 2014. Irvin Moenter, director at large; Rick Hellman, Putnam County director; Steve Ostendorf, Allen County director; Craig Pohlman, Van Wert County director; and Thomas Higbie, Hancock County director, make up the eight-member board. The company, founded in 1863 and incorporated 17 years later, has served the insurance needs of area farmers and homeowners for 151 years. The eight board members along with Barbara J. Coil, board Secretary, continue to direct the business of The German Mutual Insurance Company to insure its members against loss or damage. The officers along with the board of directors provide leadership to the company representing every policyholder. An interested, active membership is of vital importance to German Mutual.
Samsung: Patents developed by Google engineers

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) Samsung fired back at Apples accusations of patent theft Tuesday, saying the South Korean tech giant didnt write any of the Android software on its smartphones and tablets, Google did. Not one of the accused features on this phone was designed, much less copied, by anyone at Samsung, Samsung attorney Peter Quinn said. The accused features on this phone were developed independently by some of the software engineers at Google, up the road in Mountain View. The finger-pointing took place in U.S. District Court in San Jose, where Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. are accusing each other of stealing ideas from each other. At stake: more than $2 billion if Samsung loses, about $6 million if Apple loses. On opening day, Google Inc. which is not named in the litigation was clearly a large part of it. The trial marks the latest round in a long-running, worldwide series of lawsuits between Apple and Samsung over mobile devices. Quinn told jurors that Apples gripe is with Android, a Googledeveloped smartphone operating system that now makes up about 70 percent of the global market. Apples lawyer Harold McElhinny had anticipated the tactic. Dont be misled by that, he said in his opening statement. This case is not about Google. It is Samsung that has made the decision to copy these features, it is Samsung, not Google, that chooses to put these features into their phones, and it is Samsung that has made the decision to keep on infringing on Apples patents. Google declined to comment on the controversy. The trials first witness, Phil Schiller, Apples senior vice president of worldwide marketing, said the relationship between the companies has soured since Samsung launched the Galaxy smartphone. It appeared that Samsung was going to be doing a lot of copying of our product. It looked like an attempt to copy the iPhone, he said. Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who died in 2011, was widely invoked throughout opening day. Apples McElhinny asked jurors to remember where they were on Jan. 9, 2007, and he shared video of Jobs proudly unveiling the iPhone to cheering crowds that day in San Francisco. Samsung went far beyond competitive intelligence and crossed into the dark side of intentionally copying, McElhinny said. Quinn countered that Apple is claiming overly broad rights to ideas. They dont own the only way to search on a phone, they dont own the only way to sync, they dont own the only way to unlock with a swipe, he said. Consumers may end up paying the ultimate price in the case. Experts say the litigation could lead to more expensive smartphones and devices, and slow the overall pace of mobile innovation. Rutgers Law School professor Michael A. Carrier said the litigation is a drain on employees time and could lead to companies reinventing the wheel to try to steer clear of patents. Apple accuses Samsung of infringing on five patents on newer devices, including Galaxy smartphones and tablets. Specifically, Apple claims Samsung stole a tapfrom-search technology that allows someone searching for a telephone number or address on the Web to tap on the results to call the number or put the address into a map. In addition, Apple says Samsung copied slide to unlock, which allows users to swipe the face of their smartphone to use it. In a counterclaim, Samsung says Apple stole two of its ideas and used them for iPhones and iPads, including a wireless technology system that speeds up sending and receiving video.
Under fire: GMs Barra deflects hard questions

WASHINGTON (AP) General Motors CEO Mary Barra didnt squirm on the hot seat Tuesday. On the job less than three months, she calmly answered or deflected tough questions from a congressional committee about faulty parts responsible for at least 13 deaths and the recall of 2.6 million cars. Barra frustrated lawmakers by fending off questions, saying she was awaiting the results of an internal GM investigation. She didnt know why GM waited more than a decade to recall cars it knew had defective ignition switches. She didnt know who was responsible for the decisions that delayed the recall. But experts on corporate damage control said she didnt have much choice and gave her high marks for her performance on the hot seat. Barras rope-a-dope is the best of GMs bad options today, said Washington crisis management consultant Eric Denzenhall. There isnt a corporate lawyer in the country thats going to allow her to engage in freelance speculation about things she doesnt know yet. No, thats not satisfying to the public and media, but the alternative is much worse. Investors shrugged. General Motors Co. stock, down more than 7 percent since March 11, barely budged Tuesday, slipping 8 cents to $34.34. Barra apologized for GMs slowness in warning customers about the problems and promised to change the automakers culture to put a new emphasis on safety. Barra held her ground, claiming that todays General Motors is a different company from the one whose corporate culture allowed this issue to fester for a decade, said Jack Nerad, executive editorial director Kelley Blue Book.

REAL
Rectal exam is uncomfortable but useful

DEAR DOCTOR K: Im a healthy man in my 50s. I dread having a physical because of the digital rectal exam. What can the doctor even tell by doing this? Is it really necessary? DEAR READER: The digital rectal exam isnt fun -- I speak as both a doctor and patient. But it is a risk-free way to check for abnormalities of the anus, rectum and prostate gland. Your rectum is the last few inches of your bowel, just above the anus. As you know, during the exam, your doctor inserts a gloved and lubricated finger into your rectum. You may lie on your side on an exam table with your knees pulled up toward your chest. If that position isnt comfortable, you can have the exam performed while you stand, bent over the exam table. As the doctors finger enters, you feel a pressure, but it is not painful unless you have an abnormality in the anus, such as an inflamed hemorrhoid. The exam takes about one to two minutes. The exam allows your doctor to feel the wall of your rectum, checking for unusual lumps, swellings or tenderness. In men, the doctor will feel the prostate gland through the wall of the rectum. He or she will check for suspicious nodules, as well as for abnormalities in the glands size or shape. (Ive put an illustration of the procedure on my website, AskDoctorK.com.) Doctors use the digital rectal exam both to evaluate symptoms and to screen for diseases even when you dont have symptoms. The symptoms that prompt a rectal exam are those that affect the digestive system, genitals and urinary tract. For example, a doctor may do the exam to check the prostate in a man who complains of frequent urination. The digital rectal exam is useful for both men and women. It screens for disease by identifying potentially cancerous masses in the rectum, prostate or female genital organs. Examination of the female organs also requires a second finger in the vagina and a hand gently pushing on the abdomen. The other way the digital rectal exam screens for disease is to test a small stool sample for unsuspected blood. A person can have a small amount of bleeding in the digestive tract that doesnt show up as visible blood in the bowel movement. Small amounts of bleeding are detected by chemical tests

of the bowel movement. Many different conditions in the digestive tract can cause bleeding. Some are very serious, such as cancer. Others are not serious, such as hemorrhoids. So finding signs of blood in the bowel movement doesnt tell the doctor whats wrong; it just signals that theres a problem that needs to be diagnosed. The digital rectal exam cannot feel most cancers of the intestine: They occur too far up in the large intestine for a finger to reach. Colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy and barium enemas (performed less often these days) can see cancers that the finger cannot feel. (Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

By 1652, the Dutch West India Company established its jurisdiction over the area. Houses were built and families started. In 1664, the English replaced the Dutch, and they renamed the settlement Albany. In 1673, New York was taken back by the Dutch, and Albany was renamed Willemstadt. Finally, in 1674, the English took back the land, and the community was again named Albany -- its current name.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
HI AND LOIS
THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 2014 You will have to make some difficult decisions this year. Taking on too many projects at once will not earn you the recognition you desire. Focus on the most advantageous opportunity and devote all of your time, effort and expertise toward that goal. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your easygoing personality will draw attention and attract new alliances. Attend functions that allow you to share ideas, concepts and plans. Service groups or cultural get-togethers will lead to potential partnerships. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Dont make promises you wont be able to keep, or youll face an emotional dilemma. Listen to friends and relatives who offer valuable advice, not ridicule and negativity. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Sharing opinions and listening to the people around you will be the first step in pursuing the home projects you have in mind. You should avoid criticizing others and instead offer them worthwhile solutions. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Postpone any plans until you are confident that you have all the details worked out. You can avoid tension by not revealing your aims until your plan is a sure thing. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be feeling emotionally stifled. Getting out will enable you to make new friends. Take a close look at your present relationships and decide if changes need to be made. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Its a fine time for artistic expression. Whether you enjoy painting, music, literature or some other pastime, take on a project that will showcase your talent. Put aside problems and enjoy the moment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Too much time spent helping others will lead to you neglecting the people and interests that mean the most. Take time to pursue activities that provide stimulation and greater happiness. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Budget wisely today. Your home improvement ideas may be more costly than you originally planned. Get in touch with older relatives who could use your help or offer you sound advice. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- There may be a rift with someone you deal with daily. Have a heartto- heart talk to determine the extent of the problem, and be willing to compromise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- New possibilities or positions in the workplace are coming your way. Other people are impressed with the efforts you have put forth. Be prepared to make a career move. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Plan physical activities that will get you motivated and inspired. It could be as simple as a brisk walk or a hike in the country. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A small change can boost your spirits. Consider making improvements at home. Ask a friend or family member to pitch in, and it will help you form a closer bond.

Faith
(Continued from page 1)
On Jan. 3 this year, my husband and I adopted a 10-year-old lab/mix named Shep, Kwiatkoski explained. Within three days, he blended into our house like he had been here since he was a puppy. Her inspiration for taking on a challenge of this magnitude began when she was 12 years old after reading Peter Jenkins book, Walk Across America, which chronicles his two year walk with his Husky dog, Cooper, beside him searching for himself and his country. Several years ago, I learned about the NCT, which was created in the early 1980s, she said. The fact that the trail runs close to my home in northern Michigan and near family in Ohio convinced me that this is the long-distance trail of my dreams. To date, only five men have thru-hiked the NCT. Kwiatkoski and Faith intend to be first female and dog team to complete the trail. Kwiatkoskis inherent passion for the Great Outdoors is evident through her life experiences. Right out of college, I moved to Colorado and became a White Water Raft Guide, she detailed. I guided the Upper Colorado River and lived in a tent for three summers. That is where she met her husband, Bob, who was the Head Boatman for the rafting company. One winter she and Bob lived in Texas, rafting on the Rio Grande River. Another winter, they lived in a rustic cabin no water or electricity in the mountain canyon of the Big Thompson River in Colorado. I often think of those simplistic days and yearn
to experience living so close to nature again, she explained. After moving to Michigan four years ago, she has had a difficult time finding steady employment as a Special Education Teacher. Last year, she was hired for a one-year teaching position on Mackinac Island. After returning from the Island, Bob and I decided that now would be a prime opportunity for me to attempt my life-long dream of a longdistance hike, she said. Kwiatkoski urges people to get involved by contacting a local shelter and/or rescue group to adopt, foster, sponsor, volunteer, donate or educate. There are many ways to help and this is a list of things people can do to get involved: Adopt a dog; Like and share adoptable dogs on Facebook; Gather gently used towels and blankets from friends and family to donate to local shelters; Volunteer to walk the dogs at my city animal shelter; Share information about local adoption events on Facebook; Volunteer to help during an upcoming local adoption event; and Make fleece blankets and donate them to a local rescue or shelter.
