Following the pathway to college

DELPHOS College-bound
juniors Kelli Kramer and Reid
Corzine from Jefferson High School
and Liz Winhover and Austin Heiing
from St. Johns High School are each
busy with their own agendas when it
comes to finishing out their school
year.
Each of the students are maintain-
ing good grades by working extra
hard on coursework that has proven
to be a little more challenging.
Im doing all right with my
course work, Winhover said. Im
working extra hard at chemistry and
trigonometry because those are the
areas that I struggle in.
My course work at OSU branch
campus is going great, Corzine said
excitedly. Im averaging a 90 per-
cent and I am very happy with the
class.
He said he has been having a hard
time in his high school classes but
said its nothing he is not able to fix.
My grades are very good, as
of now, Kramer explained. The
coursework is a touch on the chal-
lenging side but achievable.
Kramer says shes really enjoy-
ing all of her classes, especially AP
Statistics and AP Literature. Math
Analysis, or Pre-calculus, includes
work that is a little more challenging
compared to other classes.
My grades have remained about
the same throughout the year, Heiing
stated. It has been a little bit harder
to keep up on homework because of
the amount of time I am putting into
sports but Im managing it.
He said this semester he started
taking Trigonometry and that has
been his hardest class this year.
They are all involved in many
extra-curricular activities and with
spring soon to be in full bloom, their
schedules are sure to get hectic.
Im in the school play,
Godspell, Winhover said. Im
looking forward to the start of soccer,
volunteering at St. Ritas Medical
Center, the play, 4-H and prom.
I am looking forward to march-
ing band over the summer, Kramer
said. I will be a senior this season
and have full control of my section
and have a say in the music we play.
Basketball season just ended, so
I am starting to go to baseball now,
Heiing said. The junior class has
started planning our prom, which is
coming up in May.

Former county
employee sues
commissioners
BY NANCY KLINE
DHI Correspondent
news@delphosherald.como
PUTNAM COUNTY
Patricia Clementz, Cloverdale,
a former maintenance cus-
todian employee for Putnam
County, has filed a small
claims case against the Putnam
County Commissioners with
Commissioner John Love
named as the defendant. The
case indicates she is seeking
her sick pay after being dis-
charged on August 28, 2013.
According to public records
in the commissioners office,
Clementz, requested upon her
doctors orders, a change in the
description of her work duties
due to certain disabilities. Upon
review of the request the com-
missioners denied the request,
stating she was unable to per-
form the essential job duties of
her position. The records cited
the Ohio Administrative Code
123:1-30 that allows for invol-
untary disability separation.
Records indicate that
Clementz on Sept. 10, signed
an agreement that provided for
her to be paid for her unpaid
vacation time. The agreement
also advised she should apply
for disability benefits.
The commissioners indi-
cated verbally that she was
to apply for disability prior to
receiving her unpaid sick leave.
Putnam County
Commissioner Jack Betscher
said, normally you lose your
sick pay once you leave a gov-
ernment job, unless you are
employed at another govern-
ment job, then the sick pay is
transferred to the new govern-
ment job.
In this case, the commis-
sioners agreed to pay her sick
pay if she filed for disability
coverage.
Records indicate Clementz
has accumulated $2,664.51 in
sick pay.
When the commissioners
were informed she had not filed
for disability, they stopped the
payment.
In a phone conversation
with Betscher, Clementz indi-
cated she had been advised by
her attorney not to apply for
disability.
Clementz then filed a theft
charge against Commissioner
John Love, claiming the money
had been placed in her account
and then taken out. There is
no record of any transfer of
money.
This theft charge was
investigated by the Putnam
County Sheriffs Department
and turned over to Special
Prosecutor Joseph R. Burkard,
Paulding County, for review.
In his statement, Burkard indi-
cated I do not find that there
be criminal charges filed.
Clementz also filed a dis-
crimination charge with the
Ohio Public Employees
Retirement System, stating dis-
crimination based on her dis-
ability. The hearing for this
filing was held in Columbus
on March 18. Betscher and
Love were in attendance at the
hearing, but Clementz did not
appear. The case was thrown
out when she did not appear.
The small claims case will
be heard by visiting Judge
John T Rohrs III on Friday.
Clementz is seeking $1,916.78
in small claims.
Clementz began working
for the county in December
1998.

Officials: four dead
at Fort Hood,
including gunman
BY PAUL J. WEBER and
WILL WEISSERT
Associated Press
FORT HOOD, Texas A gunman opened fire Wednesday
at the Fort Hood military base in an attack that left four people
dead, including the shooter, at the same post where more
than a dozen people were killed in a 2009 mass shooting, law
enforcement officials said.
One of the officials, citing internal U.S. Justice Department
updates, said 14 others were hurt. The officials spoke on
condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to
release information by name.
A U.S. law enforcement official said the shooter died of
what appeared to be a self-inflicted wound. The official spoke
on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is
ongoing.
A Texas congressman said the shooting happened at a
medical center at the base. Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of
the House Homeland Security Committee, also identified the
suspect as Ivan Lopez. But additional details about the gun-
man were not immediately available.
The injured were taken to Darnall Army Community
Hospital at Fort Hood and other local hospitals. Dr. Glen
Couchman, chief medical officer at Scott and White Hospital
in Temple, said the first four people admitted there had gun-
shots to chest, abdomen, neck and extremities and that their
conditions range from stable to quite critical.
The 2009 assault on Fort Hood was the deadliest attack on a
domestic military installation in U.S. history. Thirteen people
were killed and more than 30 wounded.
The military offered few details on Wednesdays attack. After
the shooting began, the Armys official Twitter feed said the post
had been locked down. Hours later, all-clear sirens sounded.
On Wednesday evening, a fatigue-clad soldier and a mili-
tary police officer stood about a quarter-mile from the main
gate waving away traffic. Other lanes were blocked by a police
car and van.
Meanwhile, relatives of soldiers waited for news about
their loved ones.

VAN WERT Lincolnviews latest annu-
al drama presentation will have a different
venue. The schools production of You Cant
Take It With You will be presented on the
stage at Van Wert Civic Theatre.
Second-year director Crystal Cully is
thankful for the unique opportunity.
We are very blessed. Were limited on
our resources because of our size; see we
were brainstorming a way to help the kids,
she pointed out. Also, the Civic Theatre in
town is really a gem, so it really seemed like a
really good dual partnership to get more eyes
in here and get them involved. When they
graduate, they can still be active in commu-
nity theatre and it gives them the experience
in real theater with a stage, make-up room,
props and all that fun stuff.

Todays the anniversary
of the day that I lost you,
And for a time it felt as though
my life ended too.
But loss has taught me many things
And now I face each day,
With hope and happy memories
to help me on my way.
And though Im full of sadness
that youre no longer here,
Your infuence still guides me
And I still feel you near.
What we shared will never die
It lives within my heart,
Bringing strength and comfort
while we are apart.

Dear EarthTalk: What are some cool apps
that work with a mobile phone that can help
me get in better touch with the environment?
Mitchell Brown, Troy, Mich.
Not surprisingly, there are thousands of green
apps out there that make it easier for people to find
and share information to help us all become better
stewards of the natural environment.
The American Lung Associations State of the
Air app shows live color-coded air quality maps
for any U.S. location and includes both ozone and
particulate pollution counts. The app also provides
air quality alerts, short-term forecasts and oppor-
tunities to learn more about air quality risks and
to contact lawmakers to push for more stringent
pollution regulations. Another way to find out
whos emitting what nearby is via aMobileFutures
Pollution, a free app that compiles information
from various pollution databases around the world
and then shows users which big polluters are emit-
ting what near them. Coverage includes 1,380
cities, mostly in Europe and the U.S.
Ethical shoppers will appreciate the
GoodGuide, a free app that shows how any
of 120,000 food, personal care and household
products stack up in terms of sustainability, fair
wages and even health risks. Users just snap a
picture of an items bar code to get the low-down
on whether or not its a good buy. And the free
JouleBug app turns living greener into a game,
taking specific sustainability-oriented steps such
as reducing energy use, recycling more or buying
local and translating these small acts into positive
units of impact. Embedded videos demonstrate
ways once can green up daily life.
Adair Systems 99 cents GasHog app makes
it easy to track a cars fuel efficiency. Enter the
odometer reading and amount of fuel added each
time you refill the tank and the app calculates the
fuel economy of the previous tank and compares
it to historical averages. The app also offers tips
for improving fuel economy. And Avegos free
CarmaCarpooling app matches nearby drivers
with riders to share the commute and the expense.
At the end of the trip, the rider can send a pay-
ment through the system to the driver to cover a
share of gas and wear-and-tear.
PaperKarma is a free app to help reduce junk
mail. Users input their address information once and
then snap a picture through the app of any unwanted
junk mail. Behind the scenes, PaperKarmas auto-
mated system notifies the publisher to take the users
name and address off their list.
Another popular app is Light Bulb Finder, a
free app designed to help ease the transition from
older incandescent bulbs to more energy efficient
replacements. Users enter in their zip code the
app automatically inputs average regional elec-
tricity rates accordinglyand then choose which
type of fixture, size/shape and wattage bulb(s)
they are looking to replace. The app then sug-
gests options that use less energy and shows how
much money the user can expect to save with the
newer bulb(s).
Its nice to know that the little screens weve
become increasingly dependent upon and
which otherwise tend to distract us from nature
and the outdoors can also be used for the bet-
terment of the environment.

2 Ohio cities competing to get 2016 GOP convention
CINCINNATI (AP) Cleveland and Cincinnati
are the two Ohio cities still in contention to host the
2016 Republican National Convention with the list
of possible cities narrowed to six on Wednesday.
Columbus, the third Ohio city to bid for the
convention, has been knocked out of competition
along with Phoenix.
The Republican National Committee said the
four other sites still in the running are Dallas,
Denver, Kansas City, Mo., and Las Vegas.
A Republican team will visit the six cities for
a more in-depth look at financing, convention
venues, media workspace and hotels. The selection
committee will then decide after the Republican
National Committees spring meeting which of the
six cities will receive official site visits from the
full committee delegation. The final decision is
due by fall.
At stake is a national convention that brings in
as many as 45,000 visitors and up to $200 million
for the local economy.
Ohio has not hosted a national political conven-
tion since 1936, and the Ohio Republican Party
chairman said in a statement Wednesday that the
state party will do everything possible to support
Cincinnatis and Clevelands bids. No Republican
has ever taken the White House without Ohio.
The road to the White House runs through
Ohio, which makes us the perfect state to host
the Republican National Convention, state party
Chairman Matt Borges said.
Las Vegas has emerged as an early leader in
the competition, but Cuyahoga County Republican
Party Chairman Rob Frost said having three cities
bid and two make the latest cut illustrates Ohios
importance in national elections.
I think thats a real strength, Frost said, adding
that it was up to Cleveland to show it can meet all
the requirements for the convention.
Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson said that citys
fundraising efforts are coming along well. He
declined to discuss the details.
Republican officials have stressed that the city
hosting the convention must raise $55 million in
private funds and have sufficient convention and
hotel space and adequate accommodations for the
media.
Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley said in a state-
ment that Cincinnati is confident it will be at the
top of the list once the committee sees all the city
has to offer.
In a statement congratulating Cincinnati and
Cleveland, Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman
said Columbus was proud of the work it had done to
pursue the convention. The city is planning to pur-
sue the Democratic National Convention, Coleman
spokesman Dan Williamson said Wednesday.
Ohio has been hoping to reassert its political
clout with the three bids for the Republican con-
vention. But the state is competing against fast-
growing states with newer infrastructure and the
more diverse electorate that the party is trying to
attract.
Marsh youth spend spring break serving others
VAN WERT For the past sev-
eral years, the youth at The Marsh
Foundation have completed service
projects during their spring break that
revolve around the theme of the home-
less and the hungry. This year, they did
the same and even added a short trip to
the Appalachian area of Kentucky.
Activities coordinator Sherry Grone
and CSP worker Christina Flinn coor-
dinated a project with the Appalachia
Service Project organization in Chavies,
Ky. Two youth traveled to Kentucky
and were able to help a retired police
officer make repairs to his residence.
According to Grone, the trip was a
successful one.
We traveled to a new location in
hopes of sharing another corner of
the world with our students, to help
them grow and learn more about their
own abilities and the world around
them, she said. They learned the
value of hard work and staying on task
even when youre physically tired; and
they gained valuable perspective on the
struggles we all face in life.
The groups that stayed back com-
pleted several projects locally. Two
groups visited the Lima Rescue
Mission, serving and cleaning up a
meal there. Another group packed
senior boxes at the West Ohio Food
Bank and served the Friday night meal
at the Bread & Bowl at the Van Wert
First United Methodist Church.
George, Hilinda and Katie Marsh
left a strong legacy by being compas-
sionate and helping the less fortunate
in the Van Wert community. Hilinda,
especially, left behind writings that
were very spiritual in nature.
In her funeral memorial it was quot-
ed, Many were the days when she
went about in her well-provisioned
carriage, helping the sick and needy, in
the very joy of her Master who went
about doing good. In the church [she
was] a humble and conscientious fol-
lower of the Christ; a leader for years in
the Ladies Society of the church. Our
sense of loss is deep; we shall ever hold
her services in grateful remembrance.
The Marsh Foundation continues
to build on and carry out that legacy
and this is the inspiration behind these
service projects.
Serving children and families since
1922, The Marsh Foundation is a not-
for-profit childrens services agency
that provides behavioral treatment in
a variety of settings. Services include
group homes, treatment and family fos-
ter care, an intensive treatment program
and independent living. Located in Van
Wert, the organizations group homes
are licensed for up to 30 children ages
717, offers an on-campus school for
grades 212 and provides a variety of
clinical services to group home resi-
dents, foster children and community
members.
The mission of The Marsh
Foundation is to inspire hope, to
teach and to care for children and
families. For more information about
The Marsh, visitwww.marshfounda-
tion.org.

Natural Resource Conservation
Service explains new farm bill
JAMES HOORMAN
Putnam County Extension
Ag Educator
The new Farm Bill has been passed
and now the rules are being writ-
ten. Here are a few details from
the Natural Resource Conservation
Service (NRCS) website on how the
2014 Farm Bill consolidates conserva-
tion programs.
The 2014 Farm Bill is streamlin-
ing key conservation programs while
investing about $18.7 billion in con-
servation programs offered by USDA-
NRCS over the next five years. The
bill provides about $3.4 billion for fis-
cal 2014 for NRCS administered pro-
grams. NRCS addresses concerns and
deliver environmental benefits such
as improved water and air quality,
conserved ground and surface water,
reduced soil erosion and sedimenta-
tion or improved or created wildlife
habitat. Key program changes include:
Financial assistance programs:
The Environmental Quality Incentives
Program (EQIP) will absorb the
Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program
and make similar practices avail-
able. The Conservation Stewardship
Program and Agricultural Management
Assistance will be continued. The
Agricultural Management Assistance
(AMA) helps agricultural produc-
ers use conservation to manage risk
and solve natural resource issues
through crop insurance and other pro-
grams administered though the Risk
Management Agency.
The Conservation Stewardship
Program (CSP) helps agricultural pro-
ducers maintain and improve their
existing conservation systems and
adopt additional conservation activi-
ties to address priority resources con-
cerns. Participants earn CSP payments
for conservation performancethe
higher the performance, the higher the
payment. The Environmental Quality
Incentives Program (EQIP) provides
financial and technical assistance
to agricultural producers in order to
address natural resource concerns and
deliver environmental benefits such
as improved water and air quality,
conserved ground and surface water,
reduced soil erosion and sedimenta-
tion or improved or created wildlife
habitat. Examples include cover crops,
grass waterways, buffers, and manure
storage.
Easement programs: Under the
Agricultural Land Easements com-
ponent, NRCS helps state and local
governments and non-governmental
organizations protect working agri-
cultural lands and limit non-agri-
cultural uses of the land. The agen-
cys key easement programs will be
merged into a new program called the
Agricultural Conservation Easement
Program (ACEP). ACEP includes the
former Wetlands Reserve Program,
Grasslands Reserve Program and
Farm and Ranchlands Protection
Program. Funding for wetland and
grassland protection expired Sept. 30,
2013, and the 2014 Farm Bill rein-
states funding for these critical efforts
under ACEP. ACEP provides financial
and technical assistance to help con-
serve agricultural lands and wetlands
and their related benefits. Under the
Wetlands Reserve Easements compo-
nent, NRCS helps to restore, protect
and enhance enrolled wetlands.
Partnership programs: The agen-
cys regional conservation efforts have
a home in a new program called the
Regional Conservation Partnership
Program (RCPP). RCPP promotes
coordination between NRCS and its
partners to deliver conservation assis-
tance to producers and landowners.
NRCS provides assistance to produc-
ers through partnership agreements
and through program contracts or
easement agreements.
RCPP combines the authorities of
four former conservation programs
the Agricultural Water Enhancement
Program, the Chesapeake Bay
Watershed Program, the Cooperative
Conservation Partnership Initiative
and the Great Lakes Basin Program.
Assistance is delivered in accor-
dance with the rules of EQIP, CSP,
and ACEP and in certain areas the
Watershed Operations and Flood
Prevention Program. RCPP encour-
ages partners to join in efforts with
producers to increase the restoration
and sustainable use of soil, water,
and wildlife on regional or watershed
scales.
Below are key dates related to
program roll out: (Please note, these
dates are subject to change)
EQIP/AMA Applicants can
expect to be notified of funding
decisions by mid-May and contracts
development starting. end of May.
CSP Applicants can expect to
be notified of funding decisions by
early June.
CSP Contracts for 2010-01
and 2010-02 sign-ups will have an
opportunity to re-enroll for an addi-
tional five years, under certain con-
ditions and specified criteria. NRCS
will begin implementing this option
by the end of this fiscal year.
ACEP Applications for agricul-
tural land easements will begin to be
accepted by April 30, with applicants
notified of funding/enrollment deci-
sions by July 31, and contracts/agree-
ments in August. Wetland reserve
easement applications are currently
being accepted. Funding decisions are
also expected by July 31.
NRCS also offers farmers con-
servation technical assistance (CTA)
to address natural resource oppor-
tunities, concerns or problems on
private and non-federal lands. This
assistance can help land users main-
tain and improve private lands and
their management or implement bet-
ter land management technologies.
All owners, managers, and others
who have a stake and interest in
natural resource management are
eligible to receive technical assis-
tance from NRCS. To receive techni-
cal assistance, contact the Putnam
NRCS office or the Putnam County
Soil & Water Conservation Service.
(NRCS, 2014).

USDA sets date for soybean Request for Referendum
WASHINGTON The U.S. Department of Agriculture
announced Monday that it will offer soybean producers
the opportunity to request a referendum on the Soybean
Promotion and Research Order as authorized under the
Soybean Promotion, Research and Consumer Information
Act.
The Act requires the Secretary of Agriculture
to conduct a Request for Referendum every
five years after the initial referendum, which
was conducted in 1994. The last Request for
Referendum was conducted in 2009. Soybean
producers, who are interested in having a
referendum to determine whether to continue
the Soybean Check off Program, are invited to
participate.
The Request for Referendum will be conducted at USDAs
county Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices. To be eligible to
participate, producers must certify and provide documenta-
tion that shows that they produced soybeans and paid an
assessment on the soybeans during the period of Jan. 1, 2012,
through Dec. 31, 2013.
Beginning May 5 and continuing through May 30,
producers may obtain a form by mail, fax, or in per-
son from the FSA county offices. Forms may also be
obtained via the Internet at ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/
SoybeaninformationontheSoybeanRequestforReferendum
during the same time period. Individual producers and other
producer entities may request a referendum at the county
FSA office where their administrative farm records are main-
tained. For the producer not participating in FSA programs,
the opportunity to request a referendum will be provided
at the county FSA office where the producer owns or rents
land. Completed forms and supporting documentation must
be returned to your local county FSA office by fax or in per-
son no later than close of business May 30; or if returned by
mail, must be postmarked by midnight May 30 and received
in the county FSA office by close of business
on June 5.
USDA will conduct a referendum if at least
10 percent of the nations 569,998 soybean
producers support a referendum. Not more than
one-fifth of the producers who support having
a referendum can be from any one state.
The Soybean Check off Program is admin-
istered by a 70-member producer board and is designed to
expand uses of soybeans and soybean products in domes-
tic and foreign markets. The national Soybean Check off
Program is financed by a mandatory assessment of one-half
of 1 percent of the net market price of soybeans.
Notice of the Request for Referendum was pub-
lished in the March 4 Federal Register. For more infor-
mation, contact James Brow, Research and Promotions
Branch; Livestock, Poultry and Seed Program, AMS,

Global growth drives
Monsantos 2Q higher
ST. LOUIS (AP) Monsantos
second-quarter earnings jumped 13
percent on strength from its core seeds
and traits business.
The agriculture products compa-
ny topped Wall Street expectations
for both profit and revenue, sending
shares higher Wednesday.
Monsanto earned $1.67 billion, or
$3.15 per share, 7 cents better than
what analysts polled by FactSet had
projected. A year ago, the company
earned $1.48 billion, or $2.73 per
share.
The performance was particularly
strong, given the slow start to a quar-
ter in which winter storms delayed
shipments.
Chairman and CEO Hugh Grant said
that almost 80 percent of Monsantos
quarterly growth came from its core
seeds and traits business.
Revenue climbed 7 percent to
$5.83 billion, just edging out Wall
Street projections.
The expansion of the companys
global corn and soybean business-
es drove sales throughout the most
recent quarter.
Monsanto Co. has dominated the
bioengineered-seed business for years
and recently began expanding its
footprint in emerging markets like
Argentina, Brazil and parts of Asia.
While the vast majority of
Monsantos business comes from
genetically enhanced seeds and her-
bicide, the company is also making
investments in computerized tools for
the agricultural sector.
Last quarter the company
announced a new agreement with U.S
agricultural distributor WinField to
explore collaborations on agriculture-
based information technology. And
in October, it spent $930 million to
acquire the Climate Corp., a Silicon
Valley startup that uses weather fore-
casting and data analysis to increase
harvest yields.
The St. Louis company reaffirmed
its 2014 forecast for earnings of $5 to
$5.20 per share. Wall Street is looking
for $5.24 per share.
Shares of Monsanto added 86 cents
to reach $114.42 Wednesday.
Food supplier
recalling 8,700
lbs. of chicken
ENID, Okla. (AP) A
food supplier with operations
in Oklahoma is recalling more
than 8,700 pounds of frozen
chicken products because of
misbranding and undeclared
allergens.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture says the prod-
ucts from AdvancePierre
Foods were formulated with
milk and soy, which are not
declared on the label.
The recall affects 10-pound
bulk cases of Our Down
Home Style Chicken Breast
Fritters for Chicken Frying.
The USDA says the products
were distributed to food-
service establishments in
Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana, Kansas,
Montana, Nebraska, North
Dakota, New Mexico, New
York, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah
and Virginia.
The USDA says its
received no reports of ill-
nesses.
Advance Food Company
was founded in Enid, Okla.,
in 1973. In 2010, the company
merged with Pierre Foods to
create AdvancePierre Foods,
which has headquarters in
Ohio.

Wildcat baseballers
walk past Polar Bears
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DOLA Sometimes the game of baseball is about hitting.
Sometimes its more about patience.
Jeffersons crew only garnered seven hits but earned 15
walks and four hit batters en route to a 15-2 5-inning rout of
Hardin Northern on a pleasant overcast Wednesday in Dola.
We showed good patience at the plate but one of the things
we need to address is being mentally focused from the start.
We need to pay attention to such things
as the opposing pitchers warming up and
seeing what hes got, Jefferson coach
Doug Geary began. We need to make
adjustments from that: some did and
some didnt and you could tell the ones
who didnt because they werent staying
back. That is something we need to learn
because those types of mistakes cost you
in close games.
The Wildcats (2-0) loaded the bases
in the top of the first against Polar Bear
(0-2) starter Colton Spearman (0-1; 2 1/3
innings pitched, 3 hits, 9 runs, 8 earned,
8 bases-on-balls, 2 hit batters, 1 strikeout) on a 1-out walk to
Austin Jettinghoff forced at second by Ross Thompson,
who then stole a base a hit batter (Nick Fitch), a double
steal and a walk to Hunter Binkley but they remained loaded.
Jacob Gossard got aboard on an error to lead off the home
half against Jefferson sophomore Josh Teman (1-0; 3 IPs, 3
hits, 2 ERs, 2 BBs, 4 Ks) and reached third on a Kyle Lamb
sacrifice and a stolen base but couldnt score.
Jefferson went up 1-0 in the second. Teman led off with a
walk, stole second, took third on Ryan Bullingers blooper to
right and scored on an error on the play. Jace Stockwell then
bunted his way aboard but was eventually called out by the
home-plate umpire for running outside the base-paths.
Rylie Drumm singled to start the second and advanced on
a 1-out pickoff error but was then picked off by Teman for the
second out.
Jefferson erupted for 11 runs in the
third and sent 17 batters to the dish
against three pitchers. Thompson (walk)
and Fitch (hit batter) started and stole the
next base. Binkley beat out a slow roller
to third to load the bases. Jordan Herrons
comebacker scored Thompson. Teman
walked to juice the sacks and Fitch
scored on a wild pitch. Back-to-back free
passes to Tyler Rice and Bullinger plated
Binkley for a 4-0 lead.
Stockwell then plated Teman and Rice
with a single to center to make it 6-0.
Jettinghoff walked to reload the bases and end Spearmans
stint on the mound, bringing in Brett Roby. An out hence, Fitch
grounded a 2-run single into right and Jettinghoff took third
on an error on the sequence. Binkley was plunked to load the
sacks once more. A wild pitch plated Jettinghoff for a 9-0 edge.

Knights hammer Jays 12-0 in 5 innings
By LARRY HEIING
DHI Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Just 10 days ago, the
Crestview Knights were in Columbus
winning the 2014 Division IV basketball
state championship.
Wednesday night, the Knights were
in Delphos playing their first game of
the baseball season against homestand-
ing St. Johns at Stadium Park.
Crestview head coach Jim Wharton
has seven round-ballers on his baseball
squad this year and is getting a late jump
on the spring season.
We still have our basketball players in
a transition phase from the hardwood to
the diamond and are slowly getting their
arms into shape, Wharton explained. We
arent allowing them to throw much yet
but well get there. As a matter of fact, this
is our first game and also the first time we
played infield this year.
The Knights looked like they were
in mid-season form as they ruined the
home opener for the Blue Jays with a
12-0 victory in five innings.
Crestview hit the field running after
Cam Etzler walked against Blue Jay
starting pitcher Eric Vogt and then stole
second base. Damian Helms base hit
scored Etzler for the Knights first run
of the season. Isaiah Simerman sin-
gled to left as Helm stopped at second.
Nate Owens followed with another base
knock to left to score Helm for a 2-0
lead. After the Knights loaded the bases,
Logan Roop hit a sac fly to the outfield
for another run and managed to score
four times in the opening inning. Vogt
managed to limit the damage by retiring
the next two batters.
The bottom of the inning saw the Blue
Jays go down in order and trailed 4-0.
St. Johns coach Ryan Warnecke said
after we played well the night before
at Wapakoneta, we just came out flat
tonight. Its tough to come back against
a strong program like Crestview when
we werent ready to play and they took
advantage.
The Knights came right back in the
second inning, scoring three more runs
on four consecutive hits. Vogt then set-
tled down to again retire the last two bat-
ters to escape the second-inning threat
and trail 7-0.
The Blue Jays finally showed some
life as Buddy Jackson continued his
hot start to the season after going
3-for-3 Monday night with a single
to right field. J.R. Keirns followed with
another hit and St. Johns had two on
with no outs. Austin Heiings grounder
to third retired Jackson on a force out.
Gaige Seffernick hit a shot to second
that retired Heiing and the Knights
overthrew first base on the double-play
attempt. Keirns alertly headed for home
but was thrown out on the play to end
the inning.
Vogt retired the first two batters he
faced to open the third inning and then
the wheels fell off as the Blue Jays
committed three straight errors leading
to two more runs scored by Crestview.
Seffernick was called in to pitch by
Coach Warnecke and he recorded a
strikeout to end the inning.
The Blue Jays again went down 1-2-3
on three strikeouts and trailed 10-0 after
three innings.
After the Knights scored another run
in the top of the fourth inning, the Blue
Jay bats came to life. Kyle Pohlman led
off with a liner to left but was forced
out on Ben Wrasmans fielders choice.
Jackson remained perfect on the year
with a single to center as Wrasman
headed to third. A Keirns blooper fell
in for a hit and the Jays had the bases
loaded. Wrasman was picked off of third
base and Heiing singled to right to fill
the bags again. The scoring threat ended
when Seffernick grounded out.
Crestview scored again in the top of
the fifth and the Jays went down after
Jesse Ditto and Josh Warnecke reached
base to end the game after five innings.
Simerman was a perfect 4-of-4 at
the plate and scored four times for the
Knights.
Jackson was again the bright spot for
the Jays behind the plate and was perfect
in his two at-bats and has a team high
five hits in the young season.
The Knights left nine runners on base
and the Jays stranded five.
St. Johns visits Jefferson 5 p.m.
tonight (weather permitting); Crestview
hosts Parkway 5 p.m. Friday.
Score by Innings:
Crestview 4 3 2 2 1 - 12
St. Johns 0 0 0 0 0 - 0
WP: Adrian Camp (1-0); LP: Eric
Vogt (0-1).

Is the Apocalypse upon us?
By JIM METCALFE
Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
I really hadnt thought through last
weeks decision by a regional director
of the National Labor Relations Board
to allow football players at Northwestern
University to form the first players union
of college athletes.
Obviously, we havent heard the last of
this case but it does open some different
cans, so to speak.
If this case continues and it eventually
is decided that, yes, college athletes can
unionize, it will most definitely change the
games of collegiate athletics forever or
at least for a while!
The Northwestern player that really
seemed to push this matter, senior quarter-
back Kain Colter, wont even be able to take
advantage of this because he is graduating.
I can see some of their arguments: mak-
ing sure players are taken care of as far as
injuries go, especially with the increased
emphasis on concussions, and likely to also
include different rules of transfer, insur-
ance, etc.
Who doesnt want to make sure their
medical bills are taken care of should they
suffer a devastating injury playing a sport
especially football and have their
education taken care of should they no lon-
ger be able to play because of it?
Generally, I think they are but in this
day and age, everybody wants every T
crossed and every I dotted.
A coach can change jobs seemingly at
whim I know there are buy-out clauses,
etc. or be fired but a player has to sit out
a year should they want to change schools.
Players especially at the Division I
level but theoretically for all levels are
supposed to pick a school for academic rea-
sons but we know if they dont feel a cer-
tain comfort level with the coach(es), they
arent generally going to attend that school.

An error on a Herron grounder
scored Fitch and a hustling Binkley.
Consecutive free passes (Teman,
Rice, Bullinger) got Herron home for
a 12-0 edge, bringing Riley Drumm
to the mound to register the final out.
The Polar Bears got their only
two runs in the home third. Thomson
walked to commence the frame and
took second on a 1-out wild pitch.
Gossard hit a sinking single to center
to put runners at first and third and
then stole second. Both scored on a
2-run double to right center by Roby.
Jettinghoff started the Wildcat
fourth with a triple to deep cen-
ter and scored on a wild pitch.
Thompson walked and Fitch was
again plunked, bringing Cory
Thomson to the mound. An out
later, Adam Rode forced Fitch at
second. Teman lined a single up the
gut to get Thompson home for the
Cats 14th run.
HN got runners aboard against
Jettinghoff in the fourth on a 1-out
single (Storm Drumm) and a 2-out
free pass (Bradlee Watts) but failed
to take advantage.
Delphos got its finale this
night in the fifth. With one down,
Stockwell lined a shot to center and
Jettinghoff walked. The latter was
forced on a Thompson grounder
and Fitch walked to juice the bases.
An outfield error on a fly ball hit by
Binkley allowed Stockwell to score
for a 15-2 edge.
Binkley hit pinch-hitter Zack
Logan with two outs in the Polar
Bear fifth but left him there.
Josh did a nice job in settling
down. Toward the third inning, he
was popping the fastball, Geary
added. We got some other pitch-
ers in to get them an inning.
Defensively, we were OK after we
got ourselves into the game more.
Again, we need to be ready to play,
no matter our opponent; we cant
take anything for granted.
Polar Bear coach Brady Mast
knew this one was going to be a
toughie from the start.
We have our senior ace and
threw him Monday. Today was a
try-out for the rest of our staff,
Mast explained. Our starter is a
senior and had never pitched before.
He showed some progress but the
third inning caught up to him. Our
second pitcher had never pitched
before, either, and neither did our
last pitcher. He did OK for his first
time on the mound.
Both teams return to the dia-
mond today: Jefferson in its home-
opener versus St. Johns and Hardin
Northern versus Fairbanks.

Wildcats
Should they be punished for want-
ing to leave should that coach leave for
whatever reason?
That opens up more cans of worms.
They also feel they should be able
to get some of the gravy when it comes
to licensing their jerseys and images on
video games, for which I dont believe
they are allowed to participate.
I can kind of understand that as well
because, well, people buy that jersey for
that specific person.
I think that one of the other motivat-
ing factors for players in their minds
is that because of the heavy involve-
ment that is playing major-college foot-
ball particularly: the practices, work-
outs, film study, etc., that is an all-year-
round scenario anymore; its difficult for
them to get a work-study job during the
school year so they can occasionally
be just a student and do such things as
laundry and keep their grades up.
Even NCAA President Mark Emmert
acknowledges some of this (they can
make money in the summer but time
is more limited for them with reporting
early for camp and such) by calling for
a $2,000-per-player stipend to help ath-
letes defray some expenses; some want
more because of the millions that are
brought into their colleges and confer-
ences.
Plus, any student on a scholarship has
to keep their grades up or else lose it,
though if they dont have the added time
needed to play intercollegiate sports,
they find it easier to do so.
Here is the thing that makes me
kind of leery. In this situation, Colter
will have gone through college on a
$75,000-per-year scholarship to play
football.
Now this is for the 85 guys on schol-
arship this season, definitely not chump
change but what they consider too little.
Thats an awful lot of money that
he doesnt have to borrow or connive
or, well, work for to get his college
degree, meaning he wont graduate fac-
ing a $300,000-plus debt even before he
starts working.
A lot of students would covet that
scenario in this day and age.
Northwestern is a private university,
which means their fees are generally a
lot more to attend college.
I dont think a scholarship at a public
university like Ohio State or Michigan
for the sake of this discussion, not
that team up north is valued close
to that but instead of $300,000, its more
like $100,000.
Now, unless I am wrong, if they are
now considered employees and can be
unionized, that compensation which
the university calls grants will now
be considered wages and can be taxed.
If they are unionized, will these rules
be applied to all universities and there-
fore all scholarships will be the same?
Will there be one union to cover all of
the teams or some? Or different sports?
Do we really want to bring the poten-
tial for strikes, holdouts and such into
the college game, not just football but
basketball, baseball, etc.? For both men
and women?
Do you see where this is going?
Do you see why this is far from
resolved?
I know I dont have all the ins and
outs of this and is probably far more
complicated.
Is this clear as mud?
Musings
Carpenter adjusting to
new role out of the car
By JENNA FRYER
Associated Press
Ed Carpenter had a fast car last year at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where he
won the pole for the Indianapolis 500.
What he didnt have were many drivers
or teams willing to help him prepare for the
biggest race of the year.
As a single-car team, Carpenter was
essentially alone on an island, unable to get
help on data and much-needed setup infor-
mation. He didnt want a repeat this May, so
he recently hired J.R. Hildebrand to drive a
second car at Indy for Ed Carpenter Racing.
Last year we had a situation where we
had a fast car all month long, and as a single
team, you try to go out and get with the four
or five Andretti teams and they dont neces-
sarily want to work with you, Carpenter
said. Yeah, we were all Chevrolet teams at
the time, but we were all racing each other,
too. Now knowing that J.R. and I will be
able to coordinate and work together, it will
be a huge benefit that we didnt have last
year.
Hildebrand nearly won the Indy 500
as a rookie in 2011 but crashed exiting the
final turn and was passed for the win by
the late Dan Wheldon. So Carpenter gets
a teammate who can lead laps at Indy and
hopefully help ECR dial in its cars at a much
faster rate.
Its one of the many big decisions made
during the offseason by Carpenter, who as
the only owner/driver in IndyCar had to
make a very big decision about his own
career.
Carpenter decided in November to run
only on ovals, where he excels, and to turn
his car over to Mike Conway on road and
street courses. It meant he was out of the
car for the first time since 2011 at Sundays
season-opening race at St. Pete.
Carpenter assisted Conway from the tim-
ing stand, wearing a headset.
Its certainly different, Carpenter said.
Theres times I want to be in the car, I am
still competitive and want to race as much
as I can but Im also really excited about
having Mike on board with the team and the
steps we are taking, moving forward with
him. Sometimes, if theres
any confusion or Im not
understanding what hes
saying, its like, Man, I
wish I could just go throw
my suit on and get a feel for
what hes talking about.
Im committed to the
team and I still feel good
about the decision to bring
Mike in and I think its
going to pay dividends down the road
because I care about the business of our team
and Ed Carpenter Racing. We are trying to
become stronger and more sustainable.

RENEWED LICENSE: Ashley Force
Hood renewed her NHRA Funny Car license
this week while driving sister Courtney
Forces Funny Car during a test session at
The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
She made four passes during the test,
which Force Hood did to certify herself in
case John Force Racing should ever need a
backup driver. She has no immediate plans
to return to full-time or part-time racing.
The hardest part was when I was starting
out my team was brand new, so we were all
kind of messing up and learning together,
she said after Mondays test. Getting in this
Funny Car, all these guys are established and
have a routine with Courtney. I just wanted
to do everything right and not mess them up
or mess the car up.
A 2-time U.S. Nationals Funny Car win-
ner, Force Hood stepped out of her Funny
Car in 2011 to have a baby with husband,
Daniel, who works for the race team.
It was weird to be in Courtneys seat and
get tips from her, she added. My husband,
Dan, the last few weeks has been walking me
through the routine. He was letting me know
what was different. For the most part it is not
that much different from when I drove.

JEFF GORDON
TREATMENT ROOM:
The Jeff Gordon Childrens
Foundation has redesigned
the Jeff Gordon treatment
room at the Childrens Blood
and Cancer Center in Austin,
Texas.
CBCC is part of the Dell
Childrens Medical Center of
Central Texas, which serves
more than 40 counties. The Jeff Gordon
treatment room features custom graphics
created by Red Eye Designs of Charlotte,
N.C., that depict Gordons No. 24 Chevrolet
SS making a pit stop at last months race
in Las Vegas. The room was repainted in a
complementary color matching the flame
design on Gordons car, and the cabinetry
features graphics that replicate the tool boxes
used by the Hendrick Motorsports team.
The funds to sponsor the room were
raised by the Austin Chapter of the JGCF
Promise Circle, which is comprised of vol-
unteers who work in their communities with
leading cancer treatment centers.
The Jeff Gordon Childrens Foundation
has contributed more than $14 million to
support children battling cancer and invests
in research, provides access to treatment and
offers patient support programs.
These kids fighting cancer are some of
the greatest champions I will ever know,
added Gordon, a father of two. We wanted
to create a space that was fun and exciting
and a reminder that their visit to the hospital
was just a pit stop on the way to victory over
cancer.
McIlroy: Golf waiting
on new dominant player
By KURT VOIGT
Associated Press
HUMBLE, Texas Rory McIlroy cant remember a time
when mens golf has so clearly lacked a dominant figure, or fig-
ures, heading into the Masters.
Welcome to the Tiger Woods-less 2014, a year full of those
hoping to contend on the PGA Tour rather than one player who
expects to win each and every week.
McIlroy, speaking following his pro-am at the Houston Open
on Wednesday, said he hadnt talked with Woods since news
broke of Mondays back surgery that will keep him out of next
weeks visit to Augusta National.
The Northern Ireland golfer and former world No. 1 also said
golf overall, not just next weeks Masters,
is seemingly as wide open as its been dur-
ing his time as a pro.
Its almost like golf is waiting for some-
one to stamp their authority on the game
and be that dominant player, McIlroy said.
Australias Steven Bowditch earned his
first PGA Tour win at last weeks Texas
Open in San Antonio, becoming the tours
17th different winner in its last 20 events
dating back to the beginning of this
season at the Frys.com Open.
The parity is a far cry from Woods peak
when he won nine events in 2000 and eight
in both 1999 and 2006. And Woods isnt
alone in his dominance after the turn of the century, with Vijay
Singh also winning nine times in 2004.
McIlroy mentioned both Woods and Singh on Wednesday
while also saying golf needs a few players to sort of put their
hands up and try and be, you know, the dominant players in this
game because thats what people like to see.
Jimmy Walker leads the tour this season with three wins. The
Texan, in another sign of the changing of the guard in golf these
days, went 187 starts on the PGA Tour without winning before
capping a stretch of three wins in eight tournaments at the AT&T
Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in February.
Bowditch joined Walker in the first-time winner ranks last
week, earning his first trip to the Masters in the process.
Even Bowditch, while occupied with this weeks Houston
Open and preparing for next weeks trip to Augusta National, had
a sense of what Woods absence will mean to the game.
Tiger, in any atmosphere, creates an unbelievable atmo-
sphere, Bowditch said. What Tiger has done for the game of
golf is unbelievable. To not have him there at the Masters is not
the greatest.
Woods has had his share of challengers over the years, includ-
ing McIlroy and Phil Mickelson, among others.
Mickelson, however, has battled injures of his own lately
including a muscle pull that forced his withdrawal from last
weeks Texas Open.
Adam Scott is second in the world rankings as he prepares to
defend his championship at the Masters, and both he and McIlroy
are among those at the top of any list of contenders hoping to heed
McIlroys call.
McIlroy appeared on his way to assuming that role when he
climbed to the top of the world rankings in 2012 but a club change
led to an inconsistent 2013. He did win the Australian Open in
December, however, and didnt lack for confidence about the state
of his retooled game on Wednesday.
I dont have to worry about equipment stuff, or do I need a
driver that turns over more at Augusta, do I need this or that,
McIlroy said. Everything is just more settled.
McIlroy also left little doubt about who he hopes claims the
mantle Woods has left vacant for now.
I hope its me, he added, smiling.
Mickelson set to return to action at Houston Open:
Mickelson has never shied away from suspense, though its usu-
ally limited to his play.
The 4-time major winner, who withdrew from last weeks
Texas Open after pulling a muscle in his right side, waited as long
as possible to end the guessing about whether he would play this
week ahead of the Masters.
Mickelson finally announced his intentions to indeed play at
this weeks Houston Open on Wednesday afternoon through a
post on his website. The decision came after two days of light
practice at Augusta National, where Mickelson said his side felt
sore as opposed to hurting.
I feel that to give myself the best chance at the Masters I have
to play in Houston, Mickelson said. If I thought I would injure
myself further I would have withdrawn from the tournament but
the last few days have been good.
Mickelson didnt play in Wednesdays pro-am, fueling specu-
lation that he might withdraw from the tournament he won in
2011.
However, tournament director Steve Timms said that had
been planned for six weeks long before his injury. Timms said
Mickelson had already agreed to take part in a sponsor dinner
rather than play in the pro-am.
The worlds No. 5 player helped solidify the Houston Opens
spot as a preferred Masters tuneup by committing to play in 2008
and every year since. He finished 16th last year.
Mickelsons return to the 7,441-yard Golf Club of Houston
formerly known as Redstone Golf Club before an ownership
change highlights a stellar field that features the winners of 34
major championships. Its a field that includes McIlroy, Henrik
Stenson and Sergio Garcia, among others, as well as defending
champion D.A. Points.
First and foremost, theyre after the winners share of the $6.4
million event while also using the courses slick greens and
tight rough to prepare for the Masters. After a schedule change last
year, the tournament is back in its normal slot.
And thats just fine with McIlroy, who tied for 45th at the event
last year while still in the infant stages of a club change.
McIlroy finished 19th at the Houston Open in 2009 before
missing the cut a year later. The former world No. 1 was winless
on the PGA Tour last year, though he has been trending upward
since including a win over Adam Scott in the Australian Open
in December.
He finished second at the Honda Classic last month before
tying for 25th at Doral.

Kazmir leads Athletics past Indians 6-1
By JOSH DUBOW
Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. With
All-Star Bartolo Colon gone to
New York and projected open-
ing day starter Jarrod Parker out
for the season with an elbow
injury, the Oakland Athletics are
relying heavily on newcomer
Scott Kazmir to help anchor the
rotation.
Kazmir sure made a favor-
able first impression.
Kazmir shut out his former
team into the eighth inning in his
Oakland debut and the Athletics
beat the Cleveland Indians 6-1
in the first game of a day-night
doubleheader on Wednesday.
You always want to make
that good first impression and
thats what he did, catcher
Derek Norris said. If he had any
type of pressure on his shoulders
to do something good I think
thats pretty much eliminated.
Alberto Callaspo hit a 2-run
homer and Yoenis Cespedes,
Jed Lowrie and Brandon Moss
added RBI hits for the Athletics,
who broke out offensively after
being shut out Monday in their
big-league record 10th
straight opening loss.
But behind a strong
performance from
Kazmir (1-0), the As fol-
lowed an opening day
defeat with a victory for
the seventh time in those
10 years. Kazmir allowed
just three hits and no
walks in 7 1/3 scoreless
innings, striking out five.
Corey Kluber (0-1) failed to
make it out of the fourth inning
and lost for the first time in 13
starts since June 27. He gave up
five runs and eight hits in 3 1/3
innings.
The teams played the earli-
est doubleheader in baseball his-
tory following the first rainout
in Oakland since May 5, 1998,
on Tuesday night. The previous
earliest doubleheader came on
April 7 in 1971, 74 and 96,
according to STATS.
Josh Lindblom was called
up from Triple-A
Sacramento as
Oaklands 26th man
to start the second
game against Zach
McAllister. The Indians
added reliever C.C. Lee
to the roster for the sec-
ond game.
The rain delayed
Kazmirs Oakland
debut by a day but it was well
worth the wait for the As as
he looked like the pitcher who
thrived down the stretch last sea-
son when he helped the Indians
make the playoffs.
He gave us a taste of our
own medicine from what we
saw last year, Indians outfielder
Nick Swisher said. I just hate
that it happened to us.
Kazmir parlayed that success
into a $22 million, 2-year con-
tract as he replaced Colon in the
rotation.
Kazmir found his groove
after allowing a pair of fly balls
to the warning track in the first
inning. He allowed only singles
to Michael Brantley in the sec-
ond and Jason Kipnis in the
fourth, and a double to Mike
Aviles with one out in the eighth.
Dan Otero gave up a 2-out
RBI single in the ninth to Carlos
Santana that ended the shutout.
Oakland scored twice in the
second inning to take a 3-0 lead
despite losing a replay challenge.
The disputed play came with
runners on first and third and
one out when Josh Donaldson
hit a grounder to third. Carlos
Santana threw home and umpire
Mark Wegner ruled that Gomes
tagged Derek Norris before he
touched home.

DEAR DOCTOR K: For
years Ive heard that chronic
stress is bad for your health, but
recently I heard something that
made me take this seriously:
Stress causes our cells to age
faster. Is this really true?
DEAR READER: Ill bet
youre talking about research
showing that stress affects the
telomeres. These structures
are a part of every cell in our
body. And if thats what youre
asking about, it really is true. In
fact, its part of a discovery so
important that it was honored
with the Nobel Prize.
The telomeres are the
ends of the chromosomes, the
structures inside each cell that
contain the genes. Over time,
the telomeres get shorter. When
they get short enough, the cell
dies.
What does this have to do
with stress? Chronic stress
leads to shorter telomeres. The
first study that showed this was
published in 2004. The senior
author, professor Elizabeth
Blackburn of the University of
California-San Francisco, was
one of the scientists awarded
the Nobel Prize. The study
included mothers caring for
chronically ill children. The
women under the greatest stress
had the shortest telomeres. It
was as if their cells were 10
years older than the women
under the least stress.
Since that study, many
other studies of people of
all ages, in different kinds
of stressful situations, have
come to the same conclusion:
Chronic stress leads to shorter
telomeres -- to cells that are
older and closer to the end of
their lives.
Most of these studies have
been done in older adults,
but some have been done in
younger adults. For example,
young pregnant women
exposed to major stress during
their pregnancies (such as
from the illness or death of a
parent) have shorter telomeres
than young pregnant women
with relatively stress-free
pregnancies.
This even is true in
children. Children exposed
to lots of violence appear to
develop shorter telomeres.
Chronic stress in childhood,
like physical abuse, can lead to
shorter telomeres that remain
short into middle age.
Professor Blackburn
puts it this way: Telomeres
powerfully quantify lifes
insults.
What does having older
cells have to do with health?
A growing number of studies
show that people with shorter
telomeres are much more
likely to develop certain types
of cancers, heart disease and
dementia. In fact, some experts
are predicting that we will soon
be routinely measuring the
length of a persons telomeres
as part of assessing his or her
health.
Could stress-reduction
techniques slow cellular
aging? In a review article
published last year in the
scientific journal Nature,
professor Blackburn says the
answer probably is yes. She
describes preliminary studies
of stress reduction combined
with increased physical
activity and dietary changes. It
appears from these studies that
the telomere shortening may be
slowed.
The story of telomeres and
cell aging is a prime example
of how scientists interested in
how our cells work can make
unexpected discoveries about
what makes us sick -- and how
to prevent it.

Q: At the end of the movie Cinderella Man,
there is information about James Braddock and
his family. It mentions that his two boys did
not go into the boxing game, but both became
involved in the construction business. Is this
correct? -- F.L., Gardena, Calif.
A: The 2005 film Cinderella Man is
the story of James Braddock, a boxer who
was considered washed up, and who made a
comeback to capture the championship title from
1935 to 1937. He was an inspiration to many.
Braddock and his wife, Mae, raised three
children: Jay, Howard and Rosemarie. Jay
Braddock lived in New Jersey with his family,
where he worked for the Bergen County Sheriffs
Office and also worked with heavy equipment.
He died in 2001. Howard Braddock works with
heavy equipment. He lives in New Jersey with
his family. Rosemarie (Braddock) DeWitt passed
away in 1995. Her daughter -- Braddocks
granddaughter -- Rosemarie DeWitt is an actress
who appeared in Cinderella Man as well as
Mad Men, The Odd Life of Timothy Green
and Rachel Getting Married.
James Braddock died in 1974 at age 69. In
the film he was played by Russell Crowe. Mae
Braddock was played by Renee Zellweger.
Q: I am a longtime reader of Sports
Illustrated. When was the first issue published,
and what was the cover price? When did they
start the swimsuit edition? -- J.B., Port Huron,
Mich.
A: Sports Illustrated, a weekly magazine
dedicated to sports, was first published on Aug.
16, 1954. The cover was a picture of a nighttime
baseball game between the Milwaukee Braves
and the New York Giants. The cover featured
Eddie Mathews of the Braves batting, Wes
Westrum of the Giants catching and umpire
Augie Donatelli behind the plate. The single-
issue price was 25 cents.
The first Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition
was launched on Jan. 20, 1964, with German
model Babette March on the cover.
Q: What was the first Sherlock Holmes story
written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? -- E.N.N.,
Salinas, Calif.
A: The first Sherlock Holmes novel is A
Study in Scarlet (1887). The Sherlock Holmes
canon consists of four novels and 56 short
stories.

Picture taking makes em-
ployees uncomfortable
Dear Annie: Im 18 years
old. I work two jobs to save
money for college next year,
one during the week and the
other at a coffee shop on the
weekends. Last week, my boss
from the coffee shop sent an
email to all employees say-
ing that we are
now required to
take a daily pic-
ture of ourselves
on a work camera.
At the end of the
month, the own-
ers (a husband and
wife) will judge
who is the best
dressed and give
the winner a $100
gift certifcate.
Annie, all of
the workers at this
shop are high school and col-
lege-age females. This makes
us uncomfortable, but we are
afraid of losing our jobs. There
already are video cameras that
send black-and-white images
directly to the bosss offce.
My parents said that theyd be
supportive of whatever I de-
cide. I really like and need this
job. Yesterday, I dressed very
well, but didnt take a picture.
Five minutes ago, I received
an email reminding me that
the pictures are mandatory.
What do I do? -- Confused
Employee
Dear Confused: We sus-
pect your employers think this
is an incentive for you and your
co-workers to dress better.
While the photographs dont
seem discriminatory, they do
appear to be an unreasonable
requirement for employment.
Your best bet is to get together
with the other employees and
talk to your bosses. Let them
know that you are uncomfort-
able with this new demand
and ask whether they can fnd
another way of getting the pre-
ferred results (like an enforced
dress code).
Dear Annie: I am a
51-year-old married man liv-
ing in New Jersey. My retired
parents live in Pennsylvania,
and my older sister lives not
far from them.
Last November, my wife
and I bought a new house 10
minutes from our old one. My
parents wanted to see our new
home. They rely on my sister
to drive them long distances,
so she sent an email with the
details about when and how
long. She also asked, Is there
anything we can bring? I re-
sponded that she could bring
four of our familys favorite
sandwiches for lunch. The
next night, she sent me a nasty
email asking how I could ex-
pect them to bring lunch. She
said it is the hosts
job to provide some-
thing to eat.
Annie, Ive gone
to their houses many
times and have al-
ways brought these
sandwiches because
I know everybody
likes them. (Ive
never accepted pay-
ment.) After receiv-
ing that nasty email
from my sister, I told
her she is no longer
welcome here. Now my par-
ents say I am the bad guy and
should have bit the bullet and
provided lunch on my own.
Was I wrong? -- Offended
Brother
Dear Brother: While the
host should provide refresh-
ments, this is family, and such
things can be treated infor-
mally. The fact that youve
brought sandwiches is gener-
ous, but that was your choice,
not theirs. And your sister
should not have asked about
bringing something if she was
not willing to comply. Her
email was rude and incendiary,
and your response shoved the
argument into the stratosphere.
You should each apologize.
We suggest you swallow your
pride and take the frst step
before this estrangement be-
comes permanent and all of
you lose out.
Dear Annie: I wholeheart-
edly agree with Mom about
the PG-13 movies for chil-
dren. How sad that we, the
American public, allow this
to continue and even make it
proftable. Television is even
worse. We all allow the lowest
common denominator to set
our values and standards. I re-
alize that someday my grand-
children will be dealing with
their children being exposed
to much more flth.
I grew up in the 50s and
wish I could bottle the inno-
cence my friends and I en-
joyed and give it to my grand-
children. Instead, parents
today seem to be rushing their
children toward adulthood. --

FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 2014
A lot of support and helpful advice
will come your way this year. You will
reach your goals if you continue to
show honesty and meticulous work
habits. Share your ideas and dont
be dissuaded by those who disagree
with your plans. Focus on forging
ahead.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Damaging rumors will run rampant
if you are overly attracted to one
of your co-workers. Protect your
reputation and your job by keeping
your personal life a secret.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
A romantic opportunity will come
your way when you least expect
it. If your working conditions need
improvement, get together with
your colleagues and take some
recommendations to your employer.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- We
all go through periods when we feel
restless and need to experience
something different. Making a change
to the way you look or to your routine
will lift your spirits.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
Look in on relatives who have health
issues. Keep your work plans a secret
until you are ready to make your play.
Now is a good time to implement
personal changes that youve been
contemplating.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your
attention to detail will make a good
impression. Delegate jobs that you
cant complete to someone you have
faith in. Your self-confidence will
attract positive attention.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- A social function may lead to
confusion, deceit or unpredictable
motives. Someone may be trying to
take advantage of your knowledge or
connections. Avoid making promises.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Make sure you have all the pertinent
details before making accusations or
demands. You have a lot to lose if
you are uninformed. Keep your ideas
under wraps for now.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Take a break and slow down. Your
stress level is high, and you could be
risking your health if you dont deal
with minor issues now.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
-- Your goals may be admirable and
your intentions good, but you could
lose a few friends along the way.
Dont turn into a know-it-all, or you
will alienate those around you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Be mindful when choosing your
friends and colleagues. You will be
offered help, but you must impart
guidance if you want things done to
your specifications.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Its time to stop making excuses
regarding fitness and diet programs.
Procrastination will only make things
worse. Get moving; the goal is to look
better and feel healthier.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Trouble may be brewing. Its
essential to keep open the lines of
communication between you and
your partner or colleagues. Dont
wait until its too late, when youll only
regrets.

In Ecuador there is a mountain that is closer to the sun,

on the planet. It is the summit of Mount Chimborazo,
which is about 1.5 miles closer to outer space than
Everest. Although Everest is 29,035 feet above sea level
to Chimborazos 20,565 feet, the Ecuadorian mountain
is closer to the stars because it gets a big boost from the
26.5-mile bulge that encircles the imperfectly shaped earth

One day a genie appeared to a California man and

The genie frowned. I dont know. It sounds like quite
an undertaking, he said. Just think of the logistics. The
supports required reaching the bottom of the ocean, the
concrete and the steel! Why dont you pick something
else?
The man thought for a while and then said, Okay, I

are thinking, why they cry. I wish I knew how to make a
woman truly happy.
The genie was silent for a minute, then said So how

Nonprofit insurers struggle in new marketplaces
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) A
smorgasbord of options and lower
prices for consumers were two of
the chief selling points for President
Barack Obama as he promoted his
overhaul of the nations health insur-
ance industry, predicting Americans
would see competition in ways we
havent seen before. Companies were
even started as a way to encourage
innovation and competition, namely
23 consumer-run, co-op insurers cre-
ated with the help of $2 billion in
federal loans.
But rather than promote competi-
tion, the co-ops and smaller nonprof-
its in some states have languished
behind major insurers, attracting in
some cases minuscule shares of the
market. While Obama celebrated an
early projection this week of 7.1 mil-
lion enrollees under the Affordable
Care Act, its too early to say whether
the law ultimately will foster sufficient
competition to keep premiums and
deductibles affordable for consumers.
Many of the nonprofit insurers are
startups and have faced challenges
as they tried to attract customers,
including: the computer problems that
plagued many of the signup websites;
plans that werent priced to compete;
and a failure to develop brand recog-
nition, due in part to restrictions on
advertising and lobbying that were a
condition of the co-ops accepting the
federal funding.
Between no lobbying and no
direct marketing, thats what you get,
said Ken Lalime, CEO of HealthyCT,
a co-op in Connecticut. Its kind of
tough to get your name out there and
get exposure.
Like nonprofits in other states,
HealthyCT watched in recent months
as customers chose big-name insur-
ers on the marketplaces created under
the federal health care law. Before
Mondays enrollment deadline,
HealthyCT had 3 percent of signups
in the state.
Just 5 percent of enrollees in
Washington states marketplace had
chosen community nonprofit insurers
by the end of February. In California,
more than 95 percent of people sign-
ing up for coverage went with four
major insurance companies rather than
seven regional or community non-
profits. About 97 percent of Oregons
enrollees have selected plans offered
by the larger insurers in the state while
3.3 percent chose the two co-ops.
In New Mexico, an estimated two-
thirds of those signing up selected one
of three major insurers. And through
February in North Dakota, where Blue
Cross Blue Shield had 80 percent of
the market before the law went into
effect, just 516 people chose coverage
offered by the nonprofit Medica.
When you had the lions share
before, youre going to have the lions
share again, said Neil Scharpe, a
service contract specialist with North
Dakota Center for Persons with
Disabilities, who coordinates enroll-
ment outreach workers.
The federal government, which
operates the insurance marketplaces
for 36 states, has not released data
on what type of insurers people
enrolled with on those marketplaces,
said Courtney Jenkins, a spokeswom-
an for the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services. In the absence
of federal data, The Associated Press
surveyed the status of nonprofit insur-
ers in numerous states, primarily those
running their own marketplaces, or
exchanges. In some states, some of the
larger insurers are also not-for-profit.
And while the federal government
has loaned $2 billion to the 23 co-ops,
officials are not expressing concern
with their enrollment figures or their
ability to repay the loans. Jenkins
said her agency is encouraged so far
but will be monitoring the co-ops
progress.
Medicare to
release billing data
for 880K doctors
WASHINGTON (AP)
Patients may soon get an
unprecedented look at how
their doctor compares to other
physicians, after Medicare
announced Wednesday it
plans to publicly post billing
data for more than 880,000
practitioners.
Considered the mother lode
of information on doctors, the
Medicare claims database has
been off-limits to the public for
decades, blocked in the courts
by physician groups. The
American Medical Association
has argued that its release
would amount to an invasion
of doctors privacy. Consumer
groups, insurers, employ-
ers and the news media have
sought the information to help
them evaluate clinicians.
Wednesday, the Obama
administration came down on
the side of disclosure.
Medicare Deputy
Administrator Jonathan Blum
said in a letter to the American
Medical Association that the
agency intends to post the data
publicly as early as next week,
Wednesday.
Over the past 30 years,
the landscape has changed
with respect to physician
information that is available
to the public, wrote Blum.
As a result, the health care
system is changing from a
system dominated by dearth
of usable, actionable infor-
mation to one where care
coordination and dramatically
enhanced data availability
will power greater innovation,
higher quality, increased pro-
ductivity and lower costs.
Big donors may give even
more under courts ruling
WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme
Court ruling Wednesday erasing a long-
standing limit on campaign donations will
allow a small number of very wealthy
donors to give even more than is currently
the case, according to students of the com-
plex campaign finance system, and could
strengthen the establishment in both parties.
While Republicans cheered the ruling
on philosophical grounds and Democrats
criticized it, there was a general agreement
that the decision itself was unlikely to ben-
efit one party over another.
This is not a decision that advantages
one party over the other. It advantages
wealthy people over everybody else, said
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
On a 5-4 ruling, the court struck down
a limitation on the amount any donor may
give to candidates, committees and politi-
cal action committees combined.
Only 646 out of millions of donors
in the election cycle of 2011-2012 gave
the now-defunct legal maximum, accord-
ing to the Center for Responsive Politics.
For the current election cycle, the limit is
$123,200, broken down as $48,600 to all
candidates combined and $74,600 to all
party committees and political action com-
mittees in total.
The ruling will mean there will be much
greater emphasis by the campaigns and the
parties on those donors with the biggest
checkbooks who can make those very large
contributions, said Bob Biersack, who
works for the CRP and is a 30-year veteran
of the Federal Election Commission.
Whether thats good or bad depends on
your perspective on how this whole system
should work, but it absolutely means that
the small number of people who can give
at those levels will be asked to give more,
he added.
The ruling leaves unchanged a parallel
system in which individuals donate unlim-
ited amounts, sometimes undisclosed, to
certain outside groups. Biersack said the
same small group of 646 donors gave a
total of about $93.4 million in the last
campaign. Their largesse will still be avidly
sought, as Republican presidential hopefuls
recently demonstrated by travelling to Las
Vegas to meet with casino magnate and
conservative donor Sheldon Adelson.
In the realm of limited donations,
Cleta Mitchell, an election lawyer for
Republicans, said the courts ruling means
that various party committees and candi-
dates no longer will have to vie for money
from the same contributors. The law per-
mits a donor to contribute $5,200 for the
primary and general election combined to
any candidate, and if they did so, could
donate only to nine office-seekers before
reaching the $48,600 limit to all federal
office-seekers.
Similarly, while Republicans and
Democrats in Washington each maintain
a national party committee, a Senate cam-
paign committee and a House campaign
committee, a donor could give the maxi-
mum allowable amount to only two of the
three without violating the overall limita-
tion the court discarded.
He said this summer, he
will have ACME baseball
and then start high school
football practices, which
will begin late in July.
Both Corzine and Heiing
have been working at local
businesses to earn money
and gain invaluable people
skills and Kramer looks for-
ward to those same rewards.
I have been working at
The Topp Chalet for almost
two years now, Corzine
said. They have been great
to me in the past and work
around my busy schedule.
I plan to pick up a job
soon, Kramer said. I
know the skills and values
gained from work experi-
ence will benefit me and
help me move towards a
more independent future.
I currently work at Pats
Donuts and Kreme, which
helps me interact with peo-
ple by providing customer
service, Heiing said.
As with any life decision,
each of the juniors are feel-
ing some anxiety with their
tentative college or major
selection.
When thinking about
college, I guess Im the
most worried about pick-
ing the right one to attend,
Winhover said.
She questions if it [the
college] will also have dif-
ferent programs in case she
changes her major or if it
will have organizations she
can network through, etc.
My biggest fear is that I
will not meet a requirement
to get into my dream college
because of the harder class-
es I am taking, Corzine
explained. My GPA has
fallen, but with enough hard
work Ill be able to raise it
and I will be fine.
My biggest fear would
certainly be the debt that
comes from attending col-
lege, Kramer detailed. I
have heard horror stories of
the accumulating debt that
comes with a degree, which
have driven me to research
any scholarship that I may
qualify for.
My biggest fear at this
point is that Ill change my
mind on the major that I
want to pursue, Heiing
stated.
At this time, it is advan-
tageous for juniors to com-
pose a resum of activities,
honors, leadership positions
and jobs to use for applica-
tions and scholarship forms.
I am currently putting
together a list of all my
activities and the organiza-
tions I am in, Winhover
said.
I do not have a com-
plete resume and I do have
a partial one I composed for
National Honor Society,
Kramer said.
I have not compiled a
resume of anything, but it
is a very good idea and I
will think about making one
shortly, Corzine replied.
I have began writing
down all of the extracur-
ricular activities, volunteer
work, etc. so that I have it
on hand as reference when
I apply to colleges and
for scholarships, Heiing
explained.
One thing on each of the
students list of things to do
is take the ACT test this
April.
Pathway
The cast and crew are currently in
rehearsal for the show which plays
April 11-13. Finishing touches on the
set are being made.
Cully reported, I think with any
high school show its pretty chaotic
but thats the fun of it, I think. Its
crazy at times but thats what makes it
fun and interesting. Last year we did
a murder mystery, so we were hoping
to do to something well-known and
funny.
Along with the student cast headed
by Zoey Lippi, Tyler Stewart and
Mikinzie Dull, Off Stage Productions
Dan Bulau appears as Grandpa.
According to Cully, this show is about
twice the size of last years murder
mystery, Rehearsal For Murder.
This show is about twice the size,
so its been twice the process! she
exclaimed.
You Cant Take It With You won
the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1937
and has been an audience favorite for
years.
Its set during the Depression,
so it really makes you think about
whats important,Cully said. This
family is really quirky and strange.
From the outside they are looked at
as really peculiar. They get matched
up with a businessman and that kind
of causes them to think about their
whole lifestyle and his lifestyle; are
you after money and success and all
that or you can be with your family
and do what you are passionate about.
Itll make you think but itll make
you laugh too.

Tayra DeHart, 33, said she had last heard from her husband,
a soldier at the post, that he was safe, but that was hours earlier.
The last two hours have been the most nerve-racking Ive
ever felt. I know God is here protecting me and all the soldiers,
but I have my phone in my hand just hoping it will ring and it
will be my husband, DeHart said.
Brooke Conover, whose husband was on base at the time of the
shooting, said she found out about it while checking Facebook.
She said she called her husband, Staff Sgt. Sean Conover, imme-
diately to make sure he was OK, but he could not even tell her
exactly what was going on, only that the base was locked down.
Im still hearing conflicting stories about what happened
and where the shooting was exactly, Conover said in a tele-
phone interview, explaining that she still did not know how
close the incident was to her husband.
I just want him to come home, said Conover, who moved to
Fort Hood with her husband and three daughters two years ago.
President Barack Obama vowed that investigators would
get to the bottom of the shooting.
In a hastily arranged statement in Chicago, Obama said
he was following the situation closely. He said the shooting
brought back painful memories of the 2009 attack.
Obama reflected on the sacrifices that troops stationed at
Fort Hood have made including enduring multiple tours to
Iraq and Afghanistan.
They serve with valor. They serve with distinction, and
when theyre at their home base, they need to feel safe,
Obama said. We dont yet know what happened tonight, but
obviously that sense of safety has been broken once again.
The president spoke without notes or prepared remarks in the
same room of a steakhouse where he had just met with about 25
donors at a previously scheduled fundraiser for the Democratic
National Committee. White House officials quickly pushed tables to
the side of the room to make room for Obama to speak to the nation.
The November 2009 attack happened inside a crowded
building where soldiers were waiting to get vaccines and rou-
tine paperwork after recently returning from deployments or
preparing to go to Afghanistan and Iraq.
Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan was convicted and sentenced
to death last year in that mass shooting. He said he acted to pro-
tect Islamic insurgents abroad from American aggression.
According to testimony during Hasans trial last August,
Hasan walked inside carrying two weapons and several loaded
magazines, shouted Allahu Akbar! Arabic for God is
great! and opened fire with a handgun.
Witnesses said he targeted soldiers as he walked through
the building, leaving pools of blood, spent casings and dying
soldiers on the floor. Photos of the scene were shown to the 13
officers on the military jury.
The rampage ended when Hasan was shot in the back
by Fort Hood police officers outside the building. He was
paralyzed from the waist down and is now on death row at the
military prison at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas.
After that shooting, the military tightened security at bases
nationwide. Those measures included issuing security person-
nel long-barreled weapons, adding an insider-attack scenario to
their training and strengthening ties to local law enforcement,
according to Peter Daly, a vice admiral who retired from the
Navy in 2011. The military also joined an FBI intelligence-
sharing program aimed at identifying terror threats.
