FINDLAY Whirlpool Corporation, the

worlds largest global manufacturer and marketer
of major home appliances is building on the companys 40 years of commitment to sustainability
by using wind energy to power its manufacturing
facility located in Findlay.
The Findlay Wind Farm is an $18 million Wind
for Industry project, financed by One Energy,
which provides energy solutions for large electric
consumers. On-site wind energy generation is
designed to significantly reduce an industrial facilitys electric consumption from the grid.
The wind farm will have five wind turbines with
Whirlpool utilizing two and nearby Ball Company
using three. Through clean, renewable wind energy producing zero greenhouse gas emissions, the
turbines are expected to offset an estimated 22
percent of Whirlpools electric consumption. Each
turbine is expected to generate enough electricity
equivalent to the amount required to power 300400 average homes.
Were excited to join One Energy and
the Findlay community for this project, said
Dale Laws, Vice President Findlay Operations,
Whirlpool Corporation. For more than 40 years,
Whirlpool Corporation has made a number of
significant advancements in sustainability. The
Findlay Wind Farm project is an example of how
global companies like Whirlpool can make a positive impact at the local level, and the global level
by minimizing the impact of our operations on the

environment.
For each turbine, Whirlpool Corporation will
create one $5,000 Megawatt Scholarship to be
awarded each year the turbine is in operation. Two
scholarships (one per turbine) will be awarded
annually to a graduating high school senior from
the local school districts. The scholarships are
designed to encourage education in the technologies and industries of the future. Eligible students
will be those seeking a two or four year technical
degree in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at an accredited
college.

St. Johns 5K
Walk/Run
Week celebrates
passion, mission
DELPHOS St. Johns administration, faculty and student body maintain a deep passion for faith, arts and academics: the core foundation that
exudes from alumni and future graduates.
St. Johns High School Principal Adam Lee said Catholic Schools Week
gives the school time to celebrate Catholic faith and beliefs.
A lot of times we get wrapped up in our daily functions, Lee said.
This week is a celebration focusing on the mission of the school, staff,
parents and supporters of St. Johns; a dedication to what makes St. Johns
a great school.
St. Johns Elementary Principal Nathan Stant said Catholic Schools
Week is focused on faith, academics and service where they recognize the
parish, community benefactors and teachers.
Family is so important, Stant said. We focus on all the families
and parents that support and promote volunteerism throughout the year
whether its traveling to sporting events to support a team or helping
during a fundraising event those families and individuals are always
there.
Lee said St. Johns has a unique faculty who are extremely dedicated to
the school, students and families.
The old saying goes you dont go into teaching for the money, which
is especially true of teachers working in a private school, he said. Their
passion for their students and their development is great to witness each
day. We have an amazing faculty; they come to school with energy and
are prepared to engage students. That energy is felt by the students and
encourages the Catholic foundation. Lee said parents really make St.
Johns special.

ELIDA Echoes from

last years tumultuous hiring of Village Administrator
Dave Metzger continue
to reverberate in Elidas
municipal building. Last
December,
questions
regarding the appropriateness of Metzgers hiring
were raised. Council ultimately presented a unified
front and supported the
decision. However, during
Tuesdays meeting of the
village council, Councilor
Claude Paxton requested that council discuss
the possibility of forming
a personnel committee, a
committee that would assist
village officials in the hiring process.
This is a safeguard for
the village, he said.
While Paxton went to
great lengths to assure all
present that his perceived
need for such a committee
had its genesis long before
he was even on council, the
shadow of last years controversy and confrontations
were manifest.

NYC economy lost $200M from fizzled storm
NEW YORK (AP) New York City lost an estimated

$200 million in economic activity in the fizzled snowstorm and
decision to shut down the transit system a loss that wasnt
crippling overall but had the biggest impact on small businesses and hourly workers.
Consumers who would have otherwise bought cars or made
other major purchases will likely do so a day or two later, said
Adam Kamins, an economist with Moodys Analytics, which
came up with the preliminary loss estimate. He noted that
many employees forced to stay home Tuesday were able to
telecommute.
For example, a holiday where people arent working
would have a greater impact on the economic output than this
storm, Kamins said.
Evan Gold, senior vice president for Planalytics, a firm
that advises companies on weather issues, estimated the economic losses for the total Northeast, including New York,
Philadelphia and Boston, at $500 million.

Advocates push
for maintaining
Medicaid expansion
COLUMBUS (AP) A
coalition of behavioral health
groups say an extension of
Medicaid has benefited
low-income Ohioans living
with mental health disorders
and addictions, and lawmakers should continue it.
The Coalition of Health
Communities on Tuesday
shared what it viewed as success stories from the Medicaid
expansion, citing cases in which
residents otherwise would not
have had coverage to help pay
for treating their addictions or
mental health disorders.
The federal-state Medicaid
program provides health care
to low-income residents.
In 2013, Republican
Gov. John Kasich expanded
Medicaid eligibility to cover
more people, as allowed under
President Barack Obamas
health care law. The governor
needs legislative approval to
continue to fund it after June.
Kasich is expected to seek
continued support for the
expansion. Hes to unveil his
budget proposal on Monday.
The reconstruction of the U.S. 224 interchange with Interstate 75 in Findlay was completed late in 2014. The $10.6 million project,
constructed by Miller Brothers, Archbold,
was one of the first projects in the state to
be completed with revenue from Governor
Kasichs Jobs and Transportation program
which leverages future funds from the Ohio
Turnpike to rebuild the states infrastructure
and create construction jobs.
The replacement of a culvert on Ohio 18
in Defiance replaced a deteriorated sandstone
arch culvert, constructed in 1937, with a box
culvert measuring 18 feet wide by 10 feet
high. The project extended the culvert to twice
its original length to approximately 126 feet
long. The project bid amount was 711,000.
Work completed last year by contractors
within the district totaled $93.9 million in
highway improvements which included $15.8
million for resurfacing of approximately 192
lane miles of highways, $11.6 million for the
replacement or rehabilitation of nine bridges,
and $5.5 million in culvert, slide repair and
miscellaneous maintenance work.
The current I-75 reconstruction project,
being performed by Beaver Excavating of
Canton, represents $60.8 million of the total
construction program amount for 2014.
In addition to those projects completed by
contractors, ODOT District 1s own highway
forces completed the following during 2014:
Used 15,000 tons of asphalt in pavement repair
Chipped and sealed 90 lane miles of
state highway
Placed 17,000 tons of berm stone
Repaired 8,000 feet of guardrail
Used 15,000 gallons of material to seal
pavement cracks
Applied 180 miles of traffic paint
Repaired 9,000 signs
Sealed 15,000 square yards of bridge
decks
Repaired 2,000 square feet of bridge
deck
Installed 6,000 feet of culvert pipe
These dollars and stats represent an investment in keeping our pavements and bridges
among the highest rated in the state. We will
continue to be an example of excellence in
government through well planned construction
and maintenance practices, said Slusher.

75 and other projects upcoming in the area,

transportation.ohio.gov/dist1.
Ohios highways are essential to keeping
and creating new jobs. With a mission to
provide easy movement of people and goods
from place to place, the Ohio Department of
Transportation (ODOT) is responsible for
maintaining one of the largest transportation
networks in the nation. Guided by ethical
principles and accountability, ODOT works
to improve safety, enhance travel and advance
economic development. As a $2.8 billion
enterprise, the department wisely invests in its
core services of snow and ice removal, annual
construction program and highway maintenance operations.
Opening of major section

of I-75 in Lima marks
significant milestone
LIMA The Ohio Department of
Transportation (ODOT) District 1 has
observed special times in its history.
The completion of the relocation and
expansion of U.S. 30 in Hancock, Wyandot
and Crawford counties in 2008, and of U.S.
24 in Defiance, Paulding and Henry counties
in 2009 are certainly notable.
But the district has never rebuilt an interstate.
In 2012, ODOT District 1 began the first
of three projects to reconstruct the existing
lanes of Interstate 75 and reconstruct all interchanges and bridges in the city of Lima and
Allen County from just north of Ohio 81 near
Stewart Road to the Auglaize County line.
The reconstruction of Interstate 75 is
not a typical highway construction project, said Kirk Slusher, Ohio Department
of Transportation District 1 deputy director.
The accomplishment of planning, designing
and constructing a project of this scope should
not go unheralded.
With two years left to go before the third
and final phase of the $150 million project is complete, transportation officials are
reflecting on what has been achieved so far
on the reconstruction of Interstate 75 in Allen
County and other significant projects completed in 2014.
Slusher noted some the most significant
milestones of the Interstate 75 reconstruction
project to this point:
The northern section from Ohio 81 to
Fourth Street was completely opened to traffic late last fall. Reconstructed interchanges
at Ohio 81, Ohio 117/309 and Fourth Street
are operating with the latest in traffic signal
technology.
The safety upgrade of Ohio 117/309 from
east of Ohio 117 to the Allen County fairgrounds completed its first full year of operation in 2014. The project added a raised-curb
median, constructed U-turn locations, upgraded or installed traffic signals and consolidated
driveways. A similar project on the west side
of Lima, completed in 2012, resulted in a
45-percent reduction in injury accidents.
The Real American Strength slogan,
signature gears logo and blue color denoting Lima and the Allen County region are
displayed on the interchanges and bridges.
ODOT worked closely with city and county
representatives to include its branding initiative in the project to define the area to motorists along the Interstate 75 corridor.
To the departments knowledge, this is the
only area in the state where an aesthetic theme
was used throughout a region on several structures on an interstate.
Other significant highway projects completed during 2014 within District 1:

Coalition: Veterans groups

electronic raffles raised $12M
COLUMBUS (AP) Electronic raffle machines operated by
fraternal and veterans organizations brought in millions of dollars
for Ohio charities during the past three years, according to a coalition of groups that is fighting an effort to shut them down.
The legality of those machines is the focus of a pending lawsuit by the Ohio Veterans and Fraternal Charitable Coalition,
which said Monday that the machines generated $12 million
over three years to benefit veterans groups and other charities,
The Columbus Dispatch reported.
The legal fight started in 2013, when state Attorney General
Mike DeWine declared that the machines at hundreds of Ohio
posts and lodges are illegal slots games and temporarily shut
down the devices. The coalition sued, and the raffle machines
have continued operating as judges issued a temporary restraining order and refused the states request to dismiss the lawsuit.
DeWine contends the machines amount to illegal games of
chance. The coalition argues that the raffle machines should be
classified as bingo games operated for charity and permitted
under state law.
Meanwhile, a new set of games has entered the picture
with approval from the state. The Ohio Lottery Commission
installed about 700 next-generation electronic lottery machines
at about 200 veterans posts and fraternal lodges last fall, with
up to five machines provided to each facility for free.

Hog butchering, Amish

style, plus recipe for
hamburger-veggie soup
BY LOVINA EICHER
Another week has gone by already. These
last weeks have been extra busy with working
on our beef and pork.
On Saturday we butchered the four pigs we
raised. They were pretty big already. After all
the hams, pork chops, bacon, and ribs were cut
out, the bones were trimmed of the meat and
the meat cut into strips for the grinder. The
bones were cooked in a big black iron kettle.
After the meat was soft enough to come off
the bones, it was taken off and put through the
grinder.
The juice that is left from cooking the
meat off the bones is saved and returned to
the kettle after it is measured. We then return
the meat and add flour, salt, and pepper to the
kettle to make Pon Haus (something similar to
Scrapple). After it is cooked to the right thickness it is poured into cake pans, baking ware,
or whatever you want to use. After it is cooled
you can slice and fry it as a meat.
The lard was rendered in the big black kettle
and we now have many gallons of lard again. It
turned out really nice and white. I like when it
isnt dark from being cooked too long.
The sausage is ground and seasoned. A lot
of work goes into a day of butchering. We still
have some sausage to make into breakfast links
and brats and more meat that needs to be packaged for the freezer. We are gradually working
on that this week. Today we are canning beef
vegetable soup. We cooked the beef from the
bones to put in the soup. How thankful we are
to be able to fill jars and the freezer with meat
for another year.
Saturday, January 24, daughter Susan will
be 19 years old. It will also be sister Lizs 46th,
so happy birthday wishes to both of them.
The schools closed their doors yesterday
due to icy roads. This morning they had a twohour delay because of the roads. It worked out
well yesterday, as I could take Kevin to get
his new leg braces repaired. A few screws had
fallen out and he was unable to use the braces.
They help him a lot so we didnt want to have
him be without them too long.
I will share a recipe for hamburger soup.

Hamburger Soup
2 tablespoons butter
1 pound ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup sliced carrots
2 cups tomato juice
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/3 cup flour
4 cups milk
Melt butter in saucepan and brown meat.
Add onions and cook until onions are transparent. Add remaining ingredients except milk
and flour. Cover and cook over low heat 20-25
minutes until vegetables are tender. Combine
flour and one cup of the milk and stir into soup
mixture. Bring to a boil. Add remaining milk
and heat, stirring frequently. Do not boil after
adding remaining milk.

For the new readers of this column: a few of

our children have limb-girdle type 2A muscular
dystrophy. Kevin needs the leg braces to help
keep his heels on the ground. They help him
stay balanced when he runs or bikes. Thanks
for all your prayers and encouragement. It is
not an easy thing to accept, but we know God
makes no mistakes. We need to put our full
trust in God.
Congratulations go to Joes sister Loretta
and Henry! They were blessed with their tenth
child. A little girl named Damaris Joy was born
to them on December 31, 2014the final day
of 2014.

Cats hang tough before falling to Raiders

By KEVIN WANNEMACHER
DELPHOS Delphos Jefferson put

forth one of its better efforts of the
season Tuesday night but the Wildcats
came up just short as Wayne Trace held
on for a 68-57 victory in girls nonleague basketball action at Jefferson
High School.
The Wildcats outrebounded the
Raiders 47-27 on the night but were
unable to overcome 21 turnovers in
dropping to 6-10 on the season. Despite
the miscues, Wildcat head coach David
Hoffman was pleased with the effort.
This was one of our better efforts of
the season, noted Hoffman. We did a
lot of good things tonight and the girls
played hard and battled all night long.
A couple of stretches where we didnt
make good decisions were the difference
but for the most part, I was very pleased
with the effort tonight.
Jefferson jumped in front early, getting a Bailey Gorman basket and a pair
of buckets by Heather Pohlman to go on
top 9-6.
Wayne Trace, though, quickly
answered.
Two Shayna Temple free throws,
followed by baskets from Erin Mohr
and Gracie Gudakunst, put the visiting
Raiders on top 12-9. The Raiders added
a 3-pointer by Leah Sinn, a pair of
Jefferson senior Heather Pohlman pulls up for a jumper over a pair of Wayne
Trace defenders Tuesday night during girls non-league cage action inside Jefferson High Schools gymnasium. (DHI Media/Kenny Poling)
Gudakunst foul shots and a Danae Myers
bucket to extend the margin to 21-12.
Wayne Trace went on to post a 25-17
advantage after eight minutes of action.
We had a little stretch there in the first
quarter that we didnt make good decisions and they made us pay, Hoffman
continued. They have a lot of length and
athleticism and it hurt us tonight.
The visiting Raiders continued to

expand the lead in the second quarter.
Nine straight points by Wayne Trace,
capped by a Temple bucket, made it
34-19 with 4:38 left in the first half.
Jefferson answered with a run of its
own.

WildKittens run past Blue Jays

By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
BATH TOWNSHIP
The St. Johns girls basketball team would like to know
what semi trucked them
Tuesday night.
That was Bath, who
handed the Lady Blue Jays
a 53-18 demolition in nonleague action inside The Bath
Tub.
They were better, more
athletic, more skilled, more
disciplined and more physical than we were. They
are also well-coached; that
is a tough combination to
beat, St. Johns mentor
Dan J. Grothouse observed.
At times, we did compete
but they force you to play
basketball; that means you
have to make quick decisions
with the ball at a high speed.
We werent ready for that
tonight.
The stats didnt lie:
Bath (14-1; ranked ninth in
Division II in the latest AP
poll) canned 50 percent of
its shots 21-of-42, including a hot 8-of-14 long range
to 22.6 percent for the
Lady Jays (6-10) 7-of-31,
including 2-of-14 from deep.
The WildKittens who
started five seniors forced
12 turnovers, committing
only eight; and dominated on
the glass 32-17, 11-5 offensive.
The domination started
from the opening tap as the

Jays were held scoreless for
the first 6:36, missing five
shots and turning it over twice
against the ever-changing
WildKitten defenses. On the
other end, the hosts took the
lead for good on a 3-ball by
Brittanie Ulmer at the 7-minute mark.. They connected
on 6-of-13 shots in the
canto, while the Jays
were 2-of-8 a triple
by Madilynn Schulte
at 1:24 and a short
banker by Sydney
Fischbach (6 markers,
3 boards) at 52 ticks.
When Haylee Brenek
(10 counters; 4 boards)
swished a triple from the
right wing as time expired,
Bath led 16-5.
Our game plan all year
has been to switch defenses
constantly because we are a
good defensive team; however, we really wanted to work
on correcting some of the fundamental mistakes wed been
doing lately, Bath mentor
Greg Mauk explained. One
thing I can do with this group
is start five seniors; in my 17
years, I dont think Ive had
a class where I could do that.
They know how to play basketball well together.
The Jays turned it over on
their first four possessions
of the second quarter (7 in
the period) and they went
even colder from the field
1-of-5, as Fischbach hit
another short banker at 1:30.
However, Bath didnt go wild

as they were only 4-of-13.
When Ulmer drained a trifecta at 1:10, their lead was 26-7
at the half.
The Jays had their most
success offensively in the
third stanza seven markers: a Fischbach inside score
(6:53), a deuce by Rebekah
Fischer (4 counters) at 1:56 and a
triple from the key
by Lexie Hays at
53 ticks. However,
3-of-12 shooting
wasnt near enough
to keep pace with
the deep and talented WildKittens as they
were a near-perfect 8-of10. Bri Smith (9 markers, 5
rebounds) hit a pair of triples right away and Brenek
five points. When Kennedy
Metcalf hit a 19-footer from
the left side with 26 ticks
showing, Bath led 45-14.
All that was left to decide
in the finale was the final
score and both teams were
playing their second- and
third-teamers as the clock
wound down.
St. Johns was 2-of-4 at
the line (50%) and totaled
10 fouls.
Bath was led by 11 points
from Madison Dackin and
five assists by Alyssa Manley.
They were 3-of-6 from the
stripe (50%) and added nine
fouls.
In junior varsity action,
Bath won the 2-quarter affair
24-8.
Lindsey Singhaus led the
hosts with nine; Ellie Csukker
topped the Jays with four.
Both teams are in league
action Thursday: St. Johns at
St. Henry (6 p.m. JV) in the
MAC and Bath hosting Van
Wert in the WBL.

Braun, Myers lift Cougars past Kalida

By BRIAN BASSETT
VAN WERT The Van Wert

Cougars hosted the Kalida Wildcats in a
rare mid-week, non-conference contest
at the Cougars Den on Tuesday and
came away with a hard-fought 55-46
win.
It was a great team win, explained
Van Wert coach Mark Bagley. We have
some guys who have been struggling a
little bit over the course of time and really came out tonight (and played well).
The Cougars (5-8) clawed back from
an early deficit to tie the game at 11 after
a quarter.
A jump shot by junior forward Josh
Braun gave the Cougars a 13-11 lead
to open the second and the team held
a fairly comfortable margin throughout
the remainder.
The basket by Braun was a sign of
things to come for the junior, who had
a game-high 15 points and added six
rebounds. He scored 10 of his 15 points
in the first half.
Brauns classmate and front-court
partner Drew Myers also had a big night,
mostly in the post. Myers recorded 14
points, 12 in the second half, to aid the
Van Wert offense.
Josh Braun and Drew Myers gave us
a huge lift tonight, said Bagley. But it
wasnt just them. It was everybody who
played tonight. Thats a good basketball
team we just beat.
Van Werts leading scorer, senior
guard Connor Holliday, was held to
a modest 10 points on the evening,
something Bagley attributed to Kalidas
scheming.

Ada shows versatility in NWC Eagles turn it up to

notch Irwins 200th win
girls win over Spencerville
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
SPENCERVILLE The Ada girls
basketball showed its versatility Monday
night against Spencerville.
The Lady Bulldogs used the 3-point
shot to get a big first-period lead.
They then showed their ability to
attack the basket the final three periods
in putting together a 65-45 Northwest
Conference victory inside The
Ville of Spencerville High
School.
The game was postponed
from Jan. 6.
The Lady Bearcats (6-8,
1-4) was minus Schylar Miller
(out since the season started) and Caitlyn
Probst (since Thursday), thus having to
alter their rotation and go deeper into
the bench.
Ada has numerous offensive weapons that are very skilled. We wanted to
take away their penetration in particular;
you have to try and take something
away, Spencerville head man Greg Ekis
explained. Unfortunately, they hit the
3-ball in the first quarter, built the big
lead and forced us to come out of our
zone; they beat us off the dribble. On our
end, we adjusted our rotation without
Schylar and now we have to do it again
without Caitlyn. Were working at it.
Ada head coach Bill Taflinger was
happy for the game.
We have struggled offensively for
a while. This is the best weve played
offensively in quite a while, he added.
We came out hot at the long ball and
when they got out of their zone, that
opened penetration for us. That is an
area we could exploit with our quickness; we have a number of girls that are
quite adept at getting to the basket and
either scoring or opening up easy shots
for others.
The hosts came out in a 2-3 zone in
an effort to deny Ada (13-3, 4-1) that
penetration and force them to shoot
over the top. Unfortunately, the visitors

started hot from beyond the arc 5-of11 and 8-of-19 overall as Tori Wyss
(19 markers) hit two bombs and Alexis
Amburgey (10 counters, 7 assists, 5
boards) five markers. All the Black
Attack could get was three triples by
Emilee Meyer (18 points, 4 caroms) as
they were 3-of-8 shooting, thanks mainly to six turnovers (16 for the night).
When Haley Wyss buried a 3-ball from
the left wing at 4.1 ticks, Ada led 21-9.
Spencerville went almost
all man-to-man using some
1-2-2 trapping schemes in the
half- and 3/4-court thrown in
opening the second period
and the Bulldogs took advantage of their quickness. Both
teams shot well Ada 5-of-10 (6 markers by T. Wyss) and Spencerville 6-of-11
(5 markers by Jenna Henline) as the
visitors maintained their lead between
seven and 13. That was 35-22 as
T. Wyss hit a reverse layin at 1:50
to make the halftime score 35-22.
The Bearcats remained efficient
from the field in the third period
6-of-9 with Meyer knocking down three fielders. However,
they turned it over five more times to
make themselves less effective. Ada
was even more effective as they canned
7-of-13 (T. Wyss netted 5 points) and
their lead was 51-34 as Carlee Marshall
(assist to Amburgey) laid one in with 1.1
ticks to go.
Spencerville needed to heat up in a
hurry in the finale but they went 5-of-15.
Ada finished 6-of-13, led by six counters by Rachel Wildman (14 points, 7
caroms) and their lead reached 20 twice.
Overall, Ada canned 26-of-55 from
the field (5-of-18 from 3-land) for 47.3
percent and 8-of-13 at the line (61.5%);
with 33 rebounds (14 offensive); six
errors; and six fouls.
Spencerville ended up 20-of-43
shooting from the floor (3-of-12 beyond
the arc) for 46.5 percent and 2-of-8 from
15 feet (25%); with 25 boards (8 offen-
sive) as Jacey Grigsby (6 assists) added

five; and with 13 fouls.
In junior varsity activity, Ada grabbed
a 38-35 triumph.
Alyssa Vore dropped 14 and Grace
Nelson 10 for the victors, while Carliegh
Hefner and Allison Adams countered
with seven each for the Bearcats.

Lady Knights pull away from Van Wert

BY BRIAN BASSETT
VAN WERT - The Van
Wert Lady Cougar basketball team couldnt have
started any better against the
Crestview Lady Knights in a
non-conference, cross-county rivalry between the two
squads at the Cougars Den
Monday.
Van Wert scored the
games first six points and
led 8-4 after a quarter but
eventually the stifling Lady
Knight defense helped the
hosts take the lead and cruise
to a 44-27 win.
Save for the first five
minutes of the game, when
the Lady Cougars seeming
scored at will, Crestviews
defense gave Van Wert fits.
The Lady Cougars (4-12)
only managed a 29 percent
(9-of-31) clip from the field
and missed all eight 3-point
attempts.
Defensively, I thought
we played pretty well,
said Crestview coach Greg
Rickard. We made them
work for some shots.
The game ended up being
an unfortunate change-ofpace for the Lady Cougars,
who scored six unanswered
points our of the gate:
Baskets from senior forwards
Alexis Dowdy, Erin Morrow
and Emily Bair.
I cant put my finger on
it, admitted Van Wert coach
Lance Moonshower. We
came out with a really good

amount of energy. We kind

of did all the stuff we talked
about doing in practice the
last couple of days. Then for
some reason we just totally
got away from it. We just
seemed to lose our energy.
Crestview (15-0) eventually answered with a
layup from junior forward Emily Bauer to
get on the board at the
4:44 mark of the first
quarter. A Bauer jump
shot with 15 seconds
left in the first made the
score 8-4 after one.
The Lady Knights only
converted on 2-of-10 shots in
the first quarter.
Offensively, we
didnt shoot the ball
well in that first half,
said Rickard. We
had some good looks.
Were going to have
to work on that. We
were able to score inside
but our perimeter shooting
wasnt very good in the
first half.
Crestview battled back
and took its first lead of the
game on the teams only
3-pointer of the first half - a
basket by Bauer to give the
Lady Knights a 11-10 lead
with 5:29 to play in the second.
Crestview held the Lady
Cougars to only one field goal
in the second period to run its
lead to 17-12 by halftime.
(The girls) responded
well, said Rickard. We
were down 6-0 We knew
that if we could play some
(Continued from page 6)

The whole team was shooting with confidence for Bagley.
The Cougars shot 51 percent (20-of-39) from the field on the
evening, including an impressive 12-of-15 in the second half
to close out the game.
Meanwhile the Cougars held Kalida (9-6) to only 39 percent (17-of-44) from the field.
I think overall this year weve defended really well. We
havent always rebounded well, added Bagley. We knew to
the key to the game tonight was, low man wins. We did a pretty good job on the boards I think it was pretty even and
we need it to be that way for us to have a chance.
Senior forward Devin Kortokrax led the Wildcats with 13
points, while junior guard Grant Unverferth added 11.

defense and wear them down

a little bit our scoring would
come around.
After holding the 4-point
lead after one, the Lady
Cougars converted on only
1-of-11 in the second quarter
to allow the visitors to take
the halftime lead, something
Moonshower
attributed to a loss in
energy that the team
had in the early stages
of the game.
We cant put our
finger on why the energy level died so much,
he described. We just lost it.
And we never seemed to get
that same spark back.
Crestview continued to roll in the third
despite
converting
on only 4-of-10 shot
attempts. This was
thanks in large part to
senior guard Kennis
Mercer, who shot 3-of-4, all
of which were outside jump
shots. Mercer ended the evening with nine points for the
Lady Knights.
Kennis shot well, continued Rickard. Shes capable we know that. We were kind of
waiting for that game for her to
kind of get back on track, and
she shot well tonight.
The Lady Knights left
their mark in the fourth quarter, scoring 18 points during
the stanza to put the game out
of reach. Moonshower contributed a lot of Crestviews
success on the evening to
senior forward Lindsey
Motycka, who finished with
12 points and five rebounds

for Crestview.
The biggest problem we
had was guarding Motycka
in the post, Moonshower
explained. Shes just so dang
aggressive in the post. Our
girls tended to just get pushed
down deeper and deeper and
deeper. We just couldnt stop
her down in there.
The Lady Cougar coach
was pleased with his teams
defense overall, however.
Van Wert held Crestview
to only 39-percent shooting
(17-of-44) from the field,and
Moonshower noted the parallels between this game and
the teams first meeting which Crestview won 45-19
on Nov. 28.
I told the girls if you
hold teams to 44 points you
should win games, not (lose)
by 17. We did it in the first
game against (Crestview).
We held them to 45 in the
first game. I was pleased with
our defensive effort.
Bauer led all scorers with
14 points and added eight
rebounds. Eight lady Knights
scored in the contest.
Were a balanced team
and thats how we like it.
Thats what were aiming
for, Rickard said.
In contrast, only four
Lady Cougars scored points,
all senior starters, led by
Morrows 12 points. Morrow
added five rebounds to lead
the Van Wert in that category as well. Dowdy added
seven points, while Bair tallied six.

FINDLAY Excellent shooting helped Kalida to an early

lead on Liberty-Benton Monday evening.
That was before the Eagles turned up their game a notch
or two. Liberty-Bentons defense slowed the Ladycats offense
in the second quarter and their offense followed suit missing
just one shot in the second eight minutes. Their deadly touch
allowed the Eagles to turn a 4-point deficit into a double-digit
halftime edge on their way to a 59-44 non-league win over
Kalida.
The loss dropped Kalida to 11-5 on the season, while
the Eagles remained perfect on the season at 14-0. LibertyBentons win was the 200th career win for coach Nate Irwin,
who is a graduate of Columbus Grove High School.
Kalida came out with the hot hand on a chilly Monday
evening as two 3-pointers by Brittany Kahle and one by Jackie
Gardner helped stake them to a 9-7 lead. The Eagles tied the
game at 9-9 before four points by Kylie Osterhage and two
by Allison Recker had the LadyCats leading 15-9. Two free
throws by Nicolette Devincentis allowed Kalida to take a
15-11 lead to the second quarter.
The second quarter was a different story for Kalida as the
Eagles suddenly found their
range as the LadyCats cooled off.
Liberty-Benton hit 9-of-10 shots
in the second quarter, that included three 3-pointers, as they turned a 5-point deficit into a 30-18
lead with a 17-0 run.
Liberty-Benton opened the second quarter with a basket
before Kahle drained her third 3-pointer of the game giving
the LadyCats an 18-13 lead. When Kalida scored again in the
half there was 1:08 left on the clock as Nicole Reckers basket
ended a 17-0 Eagle run.
Kalida was a touch matchup for us, Irwin said. We were
kind of nervous coming in. They are pretty athletic at all five
positions and we didnt like some of our matchups. They shot
the ball well early on, better than we had seen them shoot it.
We shot it well the second quarter, got a comfortable lead and
it got a little hairy at the end, but we still had an 8- to 10-point
lead and were able to survive. They didnt
quit. They battled down to the end.
Hiegel sparked the Eagle run as she
scored all 10 of her points in the game, that
included a pair of 3-pointers. Katie Simon
added five points as she also hit a 3-pointer.
Krista Simon scored the Eagles other basket during the run.
We are fortunate to have a good mixture of size and shooters on the perimeter, Irwin added. Were not just a 3-point
shooting team. Weve had teams before that were very 3-point
dominant and had to shoot the three but we have a good balance and we still want to work our way inside-out and get as
many easy looks inside and when they take that away Lauren
is a good passer and Katie is a tough matchup as she can do
both, shoot from the outside and take the ball inside.
We executed our game plan offensively to a T the first
quarter, we did exactly what we wanted to do and got the shots
we wanted, Kalida coach Adam Huber said. The second
quarter we got those same shots and we didnt make them and
they started making shots. We broke down defensively some
and they were open on some of those shots and we know they
can shoot. You dont win 14 games in a row for no reason.
Offensively, Kalida continued to struggle in the third quarter as they were held to three points, hitting just one field goal
attempt. The Eagles continued to add to their lead with nine
points as Katie Simon had six of them. The fourth quarter saw
the LadyCats regain their offensive stroke as they outscored
the Eagles 19-17. Three times in the final quarter Kalida came
within 13 points, but could get no closer.
I cant fault my girls, they played hard until the end. We
just ran into a better team tonight, Huber said.
Katie Simon led the Eagles with 19 points and Devincentis
added 17 points and six rebounds. Hiegel finished with 10
points and Kotey grabbed nine rebounds for Liberty-Benton.
Kahle paced Kalida with 13 points and three steals and
Gardner had 12 points. Osterhage finished with eight points
and five rebounds.
On winning his 200th career game Monday night, Irwin had
this to say: This is a team award. Weve had a ton of players,
coaches, assistant coaches and junior high coaches over the
years. I told the girls in the locker room I have yet to make a
shot or get a defensive stop out on the court in a girls basketball game. These type of awards, I get a plaque with my name
on it, but these are awards for the program and Im proud of
what our program has done over the past 10 and a half years.

Browner tells Pats to hit

Associated Press
Brandon Browner is telling his New

England teammates not to hold back
against Seattles Richard Sherman and
Earl Thomas.
In an interview with ESPN, Browner
talked about the toughness both
Sherman and Thomas showed in the
NFC championship game playing with
injuries. Sherman suffered a sprained
elbow, while Thomas suffered a separated shoulder.
But Browner said he would also target those injuries.
Im going to tell my teammates go
hit that elbow, or go hit that shoulder,
Browner said in the interview.
Asked if he would tell his teammates
that, Browner replied, Most definitely.
Try and break it if you can. Youre
going to be my best friend after the
game but at the end of the day I know
you want the Super Bowl as bad as I
do.
Asked about Browners comments,
Seattle players didnt seem to take
offense.
I would expect nothing less. This is
the Super Bowl. What do you expect?
Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin
asked. I understand the fans want it to
be classy, said publicly, and everything
to be said politically correct, but that
is the truth of the matter. We want this
game just as much as they do and they
want this game just as much as we do.
I expect nothing less from Brandon
Browner. We go after them in an aggressive fashion just as much as they are
going to go after us.

Raider points in the third quarter.
Improvement is a key for us, Hughes
stated. I think we have continued to show
improvement and our underclassmen have
become more and more consistent for us.
The Wildcats chipped away at the deficit in
the fourth quarter but Wayne Trace held on for
the 68-57 win.
Pohlman led Delphos Jefferson with 11
points on the night while Brooke Culp and
Wallace added 10 points each. Culp also
picked up 14 rebounds and dished out three
assists for Jefferson.
Shelby Koenig also had seven boards for
the Wildcats, who outrebounded the Raiders
47-27 on the night.
That is an area that we have to do a much
better job at, Hughes said. Jefferson went to
the boards and they did a good job of being
the aggressor. But we have to be much better
in that aspect.
Jefferson finished the night 21 of 60 from
the field (35 percent) and the Wildcats hit
11 of 19 at the charity stripe (58 percent).
Delphos Jefferson also had 21 turnovers compared to Wayne Traces 10, half of which
came in the fourth quarter.
We did do a good job of taking care of
the basketball tonight, concluded the Raider
coach. The girls found the open person and
made sure we took good shots for the most
For the Super Bowl, Ephesus

Lighting engineers expect to provide
nearly 20 percent more light than ever
for an NFL game.
The way we are lighting the field for
Super Bowl 49 will allow NBC cameras
to get more clarity and a greater
depth of focus, said Joe Casper,
founder of Ephesus Lighting.
As a result they will be able
to zoom in tighter on replays
and super slow motion without
the flicker-effect or blurriness
that is often associated with
zooming in. This should help replay
officials have the best possible pictures
to make the right call.
When we went into the sports LED
lighting business we wanted to focus
on three attributes, Casper added. We
wanted to improve player performance,
give the fans at home and at the game
a better experience, and reduce energy
usage. The ability to help referees make
the right call is an added benefit that
may help change the outcome of a game
for the better one day.
NEW HATS: The first thing
Seahawks and Patriots players received
as gifts when they reached Phoenix were
new hats.
As they got off their charters at Sky
Harbor Airport, they were handed special New Era hats that feature reflective
material both on the top of the caps
visor and the under-brim. When exposed
to a camera flash, even from a phone, it
emboldens the Super Bowl logo and the
date and location of the game.
Even Patriots owner Robert Kraft
readily accepted one, and tight end Rob
Gronkowski reached back to get an extra
souvenir.
Belichick and The Beast talk but dont say much at Media Day
By EDDIE PELLS
Associated Press
PHOENIX Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch
knew he had to talk. It didnt mean he had to say anything.
So, in essence, he didnt. And now, onto our regularly
scheduled Super Bowl Media Day, where the players and
coaches are window dressing, and its really more about whos
asking the questions.
There was Barrel Boy. A pair of buck-toothed sock puppets. A guy sporting a purple shirt, a bicycle helmet and seven
Go Pro cameras, so I can catch all the angles, precisely.
These characters are the sort that have helped turn an event
that began as a convenient place to fill up the notebook in
advance of the NFL title game into the full-fledged theatre of
the absurd it has become.
On Tuesday, about 2,000 reporters make that people
with credentials filed into the U.S. Airways Center, worked
their way down the stairs past a marching band playing a
version of Blondies 1980 hit, Call Me, and got down to
business.
The New England Patriots filed in and the clock started
ticking down from 60:00.
As the reporters, cameramen and Nickelodeon superhero
Pick Boy elbowed for position, the questions began.
As expected, New England coach Bill Belichick wasnt
forthcoming about much. But now, thanks to a question asked
by a kid, we know his favorite stuffed animals are those cute
little monkeys you put your fingers in to make them talk.
Those wishing to someday see Patriots quarterback Tom
Cats
more questions about deflated footballs

but he was in a joking mood by the end
of his 15-minute news conference.
After former NFL tight end Johnny
Mitchell, who now works for ESPN
Brazil, softened the coach with endearing praise before asking him
how hed like to be remembered,
Belichick replied: If we have an
opening on our staff, if youd like
it, well put you out in front there.
The dour Belichick even cracked
a big smile and everyone laughed
out loud.
I appreciate the compliments but
again, its really not about that right now
for me, he said, regarding his legacy.
What its about for me is this week and
our matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.
What did or didnt happen in any of
other five, six Super Bowls I coached,
five Super Bowls as a head coach, three
that I was involved in as an assistant,
this now being the ninth one, this is the
one that is really important.
LIGHTING THE WAY: In a season
during which the NFL has seen more
controversy than it could ever anticipate,
it would not surprise anyone if the Super
Bowl were decided by a replay challenge being upheld or overturned.
So the NFL is making sure it has
the best possible technology for those
replays.
This season, University of Phoenix
Stadium became the first NFL venue
illuminated with high output LED
Lighting. Not only does such lighting
dramatically reduce energy usage by
more than 75 percent, but the Ephesus
LED system provides much more light
evenly distributed throughout the playing surface than ever before.
part.
That is something we have to continue
to work on, Hoffman stated of the Wildcat
turnovers.
Mohr paced the Raiders with 21 points
with Temple adding 19 points, seven boards
and six assists. Mohr also posted four assists
and five steals. Myers and Gudakunst also hit
double figures with 12 and 11 points, respectively.
Delphos Jeffersons junior varsity moved
to 10-3 on the season with a 44-35 win over
the Raiders, who fall to 7-7.
Devyn Carder and Sarah Miller each bucketed 13 points for the Wildcats with Carder
also posting three rebounds, six assists and
three steals. Mikayla Bennett added 11 points
for Delphos Jefferson.
Estie Sinn and Chelsie Sinn topped Wayne
Trace with 13 and 11 points, respectively.
Delphos Jefferson hosts Lincolnview in
Northwest Conference play Thursday before
welcoming in Ottoville in a non-league battle
Saturday. Wayne Trace travels to Ayersville
in a Green Meadows Conference battle
Thursday.

Bradys etchings were in luck. Sort of. A sketch artist got a

credential and spent the morning penning out pictures of the
Man himself: Life imitating art imitating Leroy Neiman.
Looking for a Joe Namath-like guarantee at Media Day?
The game will be on Sunday, promised Patriots tight end
Rob Gronkowski.
Oh, there were moments of actual reporting going on
some even done by people other than ESPNs Chris Berman,
NFL Networks Deion Sanders and the rest of the reporter-celebrity crowd that fields as many questions as they ask.
Patriots owner Bob Kraft, who had his last say on the
deflated-footballs matter during a surprise showing at the New
England news conference Monday, came out Tuesday and
stood in a corner not to talk about Deflategate but, among
other things, to talk about why he talked about Deflategate.
The reason I did what I did yesterday was so that all of our
fans and (me) and my family can enjoy this game, he said.
Belichick stood by his guns. He wasnt going to mention it
anymore: Were just focused on Seattle this week.
Speaking of Seattle, about a half-hour before the Seahawks
took to the floor at the jammed, claustrophobic arena that the
NBAs Phoenix Suns call home, a crowd started gathering
around Podium No. 6. Lynchs name was up there. Quite a
surprise, considering he spent last years Media Day in a corner, surrounded by teammates who wouldnt let any reporters
near him.
An hour with The Beast? Seemed promising.
Then, he climbed the stairs, set his timer, said he was doing
this so he wouldnt get fined and pronounced he would answer
every question the same way until his time was up.

What! Facebooks
down? No storm selfies
during brief outage
Mayor Kim Hardy thanked Paxton for

his decision to discuss the possibility of a
committee rather than surreptitiously taking
action. He then referenced the events, his
role in them and assured council that, in the
end, everything worked out to the good.
I know that I kind of threw this situation
on everybodys thoughts, Hardy asserted.
Im not going to beat myself up all year
about that; Im not going to do it. And heres
why: eventually, the system worked. Issues
came up and were put out there. The system
worked in the sense that council found out
and learned that they have power when it
comes to employment. And it was left up to
council as a whole, the decision whether to
keep the individual at that time, or not.
He then expressed a number of concerns he
felt represented significant obstacles should
council opt to establish a personnel committee.
As many of these objections had their basis in
legal precedent, he lamented the absence of the
villages solicitor, Austin Klaus, and strongly
advised council to include Klaus in any future
discussions.
Council President Larry Flick was unflinching in his opposition.
I think weve got more than enough committees that do nothing now, he said. To add
another committee with no future in it, at this
point I dont think we need it.
For their parts, council members John Dillon
and Mike Sebenoler espoused a compromise
solution that would eliminate the need for
a committee, yet keep council informed on
employment processes. They proposed maintaining the system as it stands, with Hardy
assuming the lions share of the work, but to
then have Hardy, or whoever stands as mayor,
bring findings and considerations to council in
executive session.
While no final decisions were made, council
appeared willing to consider assuming a more
significant role in future employment decisions.
In other business, council also approved
emergency legislation that allows for the creation of a fund to deal with expansion of the
villages water treatment system.
The next meeting of the Elida Village
Council is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Feb. 10 in
the village offices.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP)

No storm selfies, hookups, status updates. With Facebook and
Instagram down for nearly an hour
overnight, what were legions of
users to do?
Turn to Twitter, of course. To
talk about Facebook. The hashtag
#facebookdown generated a cascade of tweets, including an image
of a T-shirt with the words I survived #facebookdown. Companies
such as Coca-Cola took it as a viral
marketing opportunity.
Of course companies that
depend on Facebook and Instagram
to reach their customers, like the
dating app Tinder, had to wait.
More than 7,500 websites had services affected by the Facebook outage, according to Web tracking
firm DynaTrace.
For most, though, it was just a
blip. While Facebook certainly has
become an important communications tool for some 1.35 billion
people worldwide, a temporary
shutdown does not have the same
crippling effect as the loss of electricity, water, the Internet or a citys
public transit system. Its also a
lesson, perhaps, in what happens
when we rely heavily on a free service that, while very stable, cannot
promise 100 percent uptime.
Kind of like the snowstorm that
was supposed to cripple New York
City, this didnt have much of an
impact on Facebook, said Debra
Aho Williamson, an analyst with
research firm eMarketer. It was
over quickly, it was easily fixed
and life came back to normal fairly
quickly.
Its possible that companies that

rely on Facebooks login tool to let
people access their sites and apps
lost a little bit of traffic or a tiny
bit of ad revenue, she said, but its
unlikely to have had a big effect
given the brief nature of the outage.
Life will go on, I think well all
survive, Williamson said.
At midday in Asia, users of
PCs and Facebooks mobile app
reported they lost access. Facebook
and Instagram also were down
simultaneously in the United
States, Australia and the U.K. After
Facebook was restored, some users
reported that the site was loading
slowly or not functioning fully.
On its website for developers,
Facebook said the major outage
lasted one hour.
Facebook says an internal technical change affected its configuration systems and denied that it
was hacked. Lizard Squad, a group
notorious for attention-seeking
antics online, had claimed responsibility on Twitter for the outages.
Guillermo Lafuente, a security
consultant at MWR InfoSecurity,
said a technical fault is more plausible than a hack. A denial-of-service attack would have made the
sites unreachable rather than accessible with an error message displayed, he said. Facebooks use of
multiple data centers also meant an
attack on one would have affected
one region; this outage was global.
Also, restoring service would be
a matter of reversing the technical
changes, which matched with the
brevity of the outage, LaFuente
said.

between Lee said. When people come to St.
Johns, they become part of the family.
Lee said teachers professional development opportunities provide them with a toolbox of techniques to reach out to each student
with individualized instruction.
Rather than the old style of structured
lecture and note taking, students are more
hands-on, engaged and educated in multiple
ways, Lee explained.
Elementary Math and Reading coursework is much more accelerated, Stant said.
We want to make sure students are reading at
their grade level. For example, kindergartners
are reading now and when I was their age, I
was reciting ABCs.
Lee said St. Johns has special traditions
that encourages and sets up a foundation
for each students success after graduation,
whether they plan on going to college, acquiring a certification, or going directly into the
job market. He said that requires adjusting the
curriculum to the times.
We are offering college-level coursework through a partnership with Rhodes State
College, Lee said. Some of our teachers are
certified in technology-based courses and this
next year, we have the potential of expanding our offerings to include medical-oriented
coursework. This gives our students more
opportunities to excel in the future.
Lee said the school works to perfect a students learning experience each day by adding
classes and adjusting core courses to give the

students and teachers the tools to do so.
Currently, we are researching an afterschool robotics program, Stant said. We
also have 60 iPads focused for first-graders
which we use to teach them to use from a
Catholics perspective in a manner Christ
would want us to use them.
Stant said they are also engaging students
through adaptive assessments with readyto-learn scores used to impact the students
individual learning experiences.
There may be a classroom with three or
four students using an iPad, another three or
four students with a teacher and another set
of students reading together with all of them
learning the same content, but with a different
method, he added.
Lee said something he feels gets lost is the
perception that St. Johns is a college-prep
type school or for those financially advantaged.
We welcome everyone, Lee said. Its
not our goal to only make each graduating
student college ready, we want to give students every opportunity to pursue a military
career, certifications or enter the workforce.
Our main goal is to give them the tools and
make sure they are successful in their faith
and their future.
Lee and Stant invite parents to visit the
school and see what the institution has to
offer.
Dont let finances or other misconceptions keep you away, Lee said. Come in and
talk with us. Our doors are always open.

Bad timing on car purchase

poses a real challenge
DEAR BRUCE: I bought
a used car from a dealership. Not long after I bought
the car, the financial picture
changed.
I overpaid for a 3-yearold car with 30,000 miles
on it, and I financed the
car for $18,000. I am barely able to make the almost
$400-a-month payment. Now
I am trying to figure out a
way to unload the car and get
the $17,900 or so I still owe
so I can pay off the bank, get
out from under and regroup.
What recourse, if any,
do I have, or am I into this
thing for the next six years,
since that was the term of
the agreement? What can I
do short of a repossession,
which I am reluctant to do
because, unless I am mistaken, that would be a huge
black mark against my credit. What are your thoughts on
this? -- N.A.
DEAR N.A.: I can sympathize with you, but how did
things go so bad so quick?
There are only one or two
possibilities for you, and neither of them is particularly
attractive.
The first possibility is to let
the car be repossessed and
youre right, that is going
to do a real number on your
credit. I would think very
carefully before I let it go on
repossession.
Second is to borrow money
so you can make the payment,
then pay the car off or sell it.
This is your best alternative.
DEAR BRUCE: How can
one determine if a dear friend
has died? I lost contact with
my friend years ago. His
telephone and address are no
longer current. He had a serious health problem and I fear
he passed. How can I know
for sure? -- James
DEAR JAMES: There are
a number of ways to locate
your friend and find out if he
is no longer with us. This can
be a difficult task, but one
with very little cost involved.
You didnt mention if he
lived near you. If so, ask
around the neighborhood
or previous areas where
she lived. Someone might
have leads to continue your
search. If he was a college
Bruce Williams
Smart
Money
graduate, you might contact
the school and find out if it
knows where he might be,
or if theres a record of his
passing.
Also contact the health department in the area to see if
it has information. And finally, you can investigate online
for past obituaries. I wish
you well in your search.
DEAR BRUCE: My
husband passed away two
months shy of his 83rd birthday. I will be 82 in September.
I was under the assumption that a surviving spouse
receives the higher of the
Social Security amounts. Not
so in my case. I am receiving
$125 less than my husbands
awarded amount.
When I went to my local
Social Security office, they
told me that they subtract my
amount from his, use some
formula and I receive that
amount. This makes a big
difference in my budget. Can
you explain this? -- M.W.
DEAR M.W.: There is no
way I can explain the rationale of the Social Security
Administration. I do know,
that in the event that you
cant get any satisfaction
from them, there are many
attorneys who specialize in
representing folks such as
yourself. Generally these
guys get paid only if they
manage to increase your income. Its certainly worth
pursuing.
The formula used by Social
Security is absolutely mind
boggling! I have never seen
one of these situations that
the average person, myself included, could understand. At
the very least, you might gain
more knowledge on this subject by contacting an attorney.

from marathon question
to spice up their love life
things like role-playing and other non-extreme variations during
intimate times. My suggestions
were met with rolling eyes and
retorts like, Im your wife, not a
hooker. I finally gave up and try
to be content with what we have
together.
Then one evening she surprised me and did one of the
things I had suggested. It was very
nice and she seemed to like it, too.
I didnt know what to say to her.
Thank you somehow seemed
condescending. We have done
nothing like it since.
I doubt if the answer is in the
etiquette books. What should I
have said to her to let her know
how much I appreciated her loosening up and hope it will perhaps
make her more comfortable spicing things up in the future? -- ETIQUETTE ADVOCATE IN SAN
DIEGO
DEAR ADVOCATE: Praise
is a powerful incentive. Flowers
would have been nice. But since
you didnt send any, try this: Invite your wife out to dinner at a
nice restaurant. Tell her how surprised and delighted you were
with the special surprise she gave
you. A small gift to commemorate
the occasion couldnt hurt either.
A satisfying sex life is all about
communication, and if my mail is
any indicator, if more wives were
uninhibited in the bedroom, there
would be a lot less business for
the professionals.
DEAR ABBY: I have been
dating a wonderful man for two
years and am in hopes of getting a
proposal soon. We are both committed to staying pure before mar-
glad I did it.

Since he has never felt any
breasts, if I tell him, my fear is he
will get hung up on the thought,
I wonder what REAL breasts feel
like. On the other hand, if I dont
tell him and sometime in the future he finds out, he may be like,
I cant believe you kept that from
me. What would you advise? -RETICENT IN KENTUCKY
DEAR RETICENT: Many
women have breast enhancement
surgery so their figures will be
more balanced. For the reason you
have mentioned, you should tell
your boyfriend. It should make
no difference to him. However, if
it does, its better that you know
now before you spend any more
time on someone who measures
the worth of a woman by how
real her breasts are.
P.S. If he wants to know what
real breasts feel like, tell him to
go hug his mother.
THOUGHT FOR THE
DAY: Ill pass along this pithy
sentiment shared with me by former California Gov. Gray Davis.
In a commencement speech to

of nutrients, recently picked local produce is the
way to go. But if fresh produce is inconvenient or
beyond your budget, frozen fruits and vegetables
680 Snow Removal
provide plenty of nutrition.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are indeed more nutritious, but the difference between fresh and frozen produce may not be as stark as you think. Researchers at
the University of California-Davis found that:
-- Fresh and frozen produce are similar in terms of carbohydrate, protein, fiber
and mineral content.
-- Fresh produce can lose half of its vitamins and beneficial plant-derived chemicals during storage or cooking.
-- More water-soluble vitamins such as C are lost during the frozen packaging

process than fat-soluble vitamins such as A and E.
Another point to consider is that not all produce sold as fresh really is fresh.

PROMPT & EFFICIENT SERVICE
If youre looking for truly fresh produce, your best bet is to go to a farm stand
or local farmers market. True, some farm stands sell fruit that is not picked-thismorning fresh. But if the produce is labeled as locally grown, it probably is fresh.
If you ask a farm stand clerk if the produce was picked today, you will usually get

an honest answer.
As my wife would be the first to tell you, Im not a foodie. Im more of a
gourmand than a gourmet. So I asked a colleague for some advice.

in Detroit. At birth, Henry Morgan was known as Henry Lerner Von Ost Jr., while Harry Morgan was Harry

his name because of the other
Henry Morgan, went on to star
on television and the big screen.
Q: I have three questions about one of Americas
greatest playwrights, Tennessee
Williams: Is Tennessee his given
name? What college did he attend? When did he die? -- F.L.,
Richmond, Ill.
A: Thomas Lanier Williams III was born in Columbus, Miss., on March 26, 1911. He attended the
University of Missouri and Washington University in
St. Louis; he received his Bachelor of Arts from the
University of Iowa in 1938. He then moved to New
Orleans, where he changed his name to Tennessee. Despite tremendous success in his life, he struggled with
depression and drug and alcohol addiction. He choked
to death on a pill bottle cap on Feb. 24, 1983, at his
residence at the Hotel Elysee in New York City.
WINTER OLYMPICS DID YOU KNOW? According to Time magazine, a train ride from Moscow
to Sochi takes 37 hours to complete. The two cities are
just under 1,000 miles apart.
Q: Back in the 1950s, there was a puppet hound dog
on TV that sang a chocolate commercial. What was the
name of the dog? How about the chocolate? -- H.C.,
Marion, Va.
A: Oh, I can still hear the jingle today, N-E-S-T-LE-S, Nestles makes the very best CH-A-A-A--KLUT,
and then there was the distinctive snapping of the jaws
that every kid had to imitate to end the commercial.
The dogs name was Farfel.
WINTER OLYMPICS DID YOU KNOW? At
$51 billion, these are the most expensive Olympics in
history. The original budget was $12 billion. The last
Winter Olympics, in Vancouver, cost $8 billion.
Q: The name The Flying Graysons keeps coming
to mind. I assume they are from a circus act I saw as
a kid. Do you know anything about them? -- C.J.A.,
Sanford, Maine
A: The Flying Graysons died in a trapeze accident
in the Haley Circus. Dont worry, though, they are fictional -- they were the parents of Dick Grayson, better
known as Robin, the Boy Wonder, who is the sidekick
to Batman.
WINTER OLYMPICS DID YOU KNOW? Do
you remember Lori Lolo Jones? After a successful
collegiate track and field career she participated as a
hurdler in the Summer Olympics in 2008 and 2012.
She didnt medal in Beijing or London, so she decided to give bobsledding a try. Jones is made the U.S.
Olympic team for 2014, and will be trying for a medal
in Sochi.

Did you know tea is the No. 2 most popular

beverage in the world, right after water? Since
tea is gaining popularity for its taste and health
benefits, it makes sense to wonder if the tea
youre brewing and sipping is environmentally
friendly and grown with the farmers in mind.
When buying tea, look for varietals that are
certified by independent nonprofit organizations like the Rainforest Alliance or Fair Trade
USA, which have standards to make sure the
growing and labor practices are sustainable.
And major tea companies are taking steps, too,
creating Tea 2030, a project of Forum for the
Future that works to create global sustainability. Brands like Tazo Tea, The Republic of Tea
and Lipton are members of Tea 2030.

White House drops plan to

scale back college savings plans
WASHINGTON (AP) The White House said Tuesday it
is dropping a proposal to scale back the tax benefits of college
savings plans amid a backlash from both Republicans and
Democrats.
President Barack Obama made the proposal last week as
part of his State of the Union address. It was part of Obamas
plan to consolidate and simplify a sometimes confusing array
of tax breaks for college students.
Resistance from Congress was swift. Republicans publicly
criticized the plan, and aides said House Democratic Leader
Nancy Pelosi pushed senior administration officials to drop it
as she flew with the president aboard Air Force One from India
to Saudi Arabia.
Other Democrats also privately weighed in against the
plan, including Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, the top
Democrat on the House Budget Committee, and Sen. Charles
Schumer, D-N.Y.
A White House official said Tuesday the proposal had
become a distraction.
We proposed it because we thought it was a sensible
approach, part of consolidating six programs to two and
expanding and better targeting education tax relief for the middle class, said the White House official. Given it has become
such a distraction, were not going to ask Congress to pass
the 529 provision so that they can instead focus on delivering
a larger package of education tax relief that has bipartisan
support.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they
were not authorized to be quoted by name.
Obamas plan would reduce the tax benefits of future contributions to the popular 529 college savings plans. Current
accounts would have been grandfathered, so existing funds
could still grow and be withdrawn, tax-free.

Yahoo CEO heeds

shareholders call to
spin off Alibaba stake
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer
is spinning off the companys
$39 billion stake in Chinas
Alibaba Group Holding in a
move that wards off a potential shareholder rebellion.
The highly anticipated decision announced Tuesday will
enable Yahoo to avoid paying
billions of dollars in future taxes
while intensifying the pressure
on Mayer to prove she can rejuvenate one of the Internets oldest and best-known companies.
A newly formed entity called SpinCo will inherit
ownership of Yahoos 384 million Alibaba shares when the
tax-free spinoff is completed
toward the end of this year.
Existing Yahoo shareholders
will receive stock in SpinCo,
which will be designated as a
registered investment company. The breakup is an attempt
to ensure most Spinco shareholders profiting from future
sales of Alibaba stock will be
taxed at a lower rate than Yahoo
Inc. would have paid had it
held on to the stake, said Mark
Luscombe, principal federal tax
analyst for Wolters Kluwer Tax
& Accounting.

Todays joke:
A little boy came home with his parents from church one Sunday. He seemed a
little depressed, so his mother asked him if something happened in Sunday school
class that he would like to talk about. He told his mother Well, we were singing
songs and the teacher made us sing about a poor bear named Gladly that needed
glasses and I cant stop thinking about him. She said he was cross-eyed and I feel
bad for him.
The mother couldnt understand why the teacher would teach such a song in
Sunday school so she decided to call her. To the womans amazement, the teacher
said she only taught hymns that morning. Then the teacher began laughing out loud
and said to the mother, I know what Jeffreys talking about! We learned the hymn
Gladly The Cross Id Bear.
