Hundreds killed, injured yearly despite Move Over law

BY STEPHANIE GROVES
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
Since 2004, Ohioans have been required
by law to move over when law enforcement,
emergency vehicles and tow trucks are on
the side of the road. In December 2013,
the Ohio General Assembly passed Senate
Bill 137, expanding the law to include
approaching construction and maintenance
vehicles to protect the safety of these workers operating on Ohio roadways.
MoveOver.Ohio.Gov reports that across
the nation, hundreds of people are injured
or killed every year when they are struck
by a vehicle after pulling over to the side
of the road or highway. These struck by
crashes have claimed the lives of many first
responders, roadside assistance and construction workers and includes: 23 highway
workers each month; one law enforcement
officer every month; one tow truck driver
every six days; and six firefighters each
year.
Ohio Department of Transportations
(ODOT)
Deputy
Director
of
Communications Melissa Ayers said since

2008 there have been approximately 969
collisions with ODOT vehicles and the
traveling public.
We still believe its very important
to Slow Down and Move Over for all
roadside workers, she added. These are
hard-working men and women who at the
end of the day want to make it home safely
to their families and friends.
ODOT Public Information Officer Paul
Pegher said in 2013 alone, across the state
there were 4,373 work zone crashes with
1,118 injuries and 19 fatalities including

workers and travelers. He added that from
2008 to 2012, ODOT vehicles were struck
590 times and 359 of those occurrences
were due to drivers failing to move over
one lane.
It amplifies the need for workers and
travelers to be more cautious, Pegher said.
Its a matter of public safety.
The new version of Ohios Move Over
Law requires motorists slow down and,
as conditions permit, shift to an adjacent
lane when approaching construction, main-

Executive Director Phil Hayne will retire

service.
Phil has spent over 40 years in service to

had an individual of his caliber at United Way
of Greater Lima, Clark said. His leadership,
passion and dedication to our organization
is something we appreciate very much. He
assured me he is staying in the Lima area so
we havent seen the last of him, Im sure.
FORT JENNINGS Mayor Jim Smith, council members

and Maintenance Supervisor Ted Wrasman discussed the
options needed if they were to opt purchasing a new plow truck
for the village during Tuesday nights Fort Jennings Village
Council meeting.
We have had issues with the truck and the wiring under the
bed is in bad shape, Wrasman said.
The villages current truck, equipped with a plow and dump
bed, was purchased in 1998 and has close to 71,000 miles on
it. Wrasman reported it has also had problems starting, has
shut off, the bed is rusting out and it has been stuck in snow a
few times.
Councilman Walt Pitney said he has seen a medium duty
GMC with low mileage for around $25,000.
Ive seen an older unit, a 1995 Ford 1-ton with a snow
plow, wet line dump with 30,000 miles which hasnt been driven out on the road on the Deals site, Pitney detailed.
We should probably consider purchasing a new truck,
Smith said. A 2-wheel drive would be OK and we probably
dont want anything any larger than the 1-ton we have.
We need something small enough to get through tight
alleys, Wrasman added. Four-wheel drive would been have
been helpful the few times the vehicle was stuck in the snow.
Council members approved last months meeting minutes
and paying the villages bills in the sum of $69,962.
Smith told council members all the paperwork is in the
hands of Public Utilities Commission of Ohio for the electricity aggregation. Council members have been working diligently
to move the village into an electricity aggregation plan since
discussions began this past summer.
Theres a 30-day waiting period, Smith said. We should
hear something next month.
Smith also updated council members on the OWPC grant for
the construction project on First Street slated for later this year.
Poggemeyers initial cost for the engineering was $5,500,
Smith said. I called and spoke with them asking them to lower
the costs and they took off $1,000, bringing the cost down to
$4,500.
Smith said a new contract will be drawn up and he will sign
it when it is in his hands.
Conversation turned to the property that may be annexed
into the village that Smith reported on in November 2014. He
said the plat of land is partially in the corporation limit and
the property owner cannot begin construction until the land is
annexed and utilities are planned and/or run to the property.

White House: Affordable Care sign-ups top 11 million

WASHINGTON (AP) More
than 11 million people signed
up for subsidized private health
insurance under President Barack
Obamas law this year, the White
House announced Tuesday evening.
But that preliminary estimate
11.4 million people comes with
a couple of asterisks:
The final number could grow
because the administration is offering a grace period for people who
started applications but couldnt
finish them before last Sundays
official deadline. They have until
February 22, this coming Sunday.
Also, Democratic lawmakers are
pressing Obama to grant a second
chance to sign up for uninsured
people facing tax penalties.
The final number could shrink
if consumers whove enrolled
for 2015 coverage dont follow
through by paying their share of
premiums.
The Affordable Care Act is
working, Obama said in a White

House video. Its working a little better than we anticipated.
Certainly, I think, working a lot
better than many of the critics talked about early on.
Last year, 8 million people had
initially signed up. But by fall,
just 6.7 million were still in the
program. Some of those who left
found other coverage, through a
job for example.
According to independent studies, at least 10 million uninsured
people gained coverage last year as
the health care laws big insurance
expansion got under way. One part
of the law offers subsidized private
health insurance tailored to workers and families who dont have
coverage on the job. Another part
expands Medicaid to serve low-income adults in states that accept it.
The nonpartisan Congressional
Budget Office estimates that this
year there will be 19 million fewer
uninsured Americans than if the
law had never passed.

Sign-up season for private plans
went relatively smoothly this year,
a turnaround from the technology meltdown that embarrassed the
White House last year. Coverage is
offered through online health insurance markets, also called exchanges. The federal HealthCare.gov
website serves 37 states, while the
rest run their own markets.
Although HealthCare.gov was
slowed by a glitch on Saturday, an
independent assessment for The
Associated Press found that the
website worked smoothly overall
during its big weekend.
Catchpoint Systems, which
monitors website performance,
found that HealthCare.govs signup page was available more than
99 percent of the time from last
Friday through Sunday, and typically loaded in about 4 seconds.
Catchpoint CEO Mehdi Daoudi
called that very good.
Separately, privacy concerns
have been raised about HealthCare.

gov this year, after The Associated
Press reported that the site was
quietly sending some personal
consumer information to companies that specialize in analyzing
Internet data for performance and
marketing. The administration
quickly scaled back the practice,
but theres an ongoing congressional inquiry into the matter.
This biggest question hanging
over HealthCare.gov this year has
nothing to do with technology.
Early next month, the Supreme
Court will hear arguments on
another challenge to Obamas law.
The plaintiffs in the case say the
literal text of the legislation only
allows the federal government to
offer subsidies in states that set up
their own insurance markets. Most
states have not done so.
If the court sides with the plaintiffs, millions of people would lose
financial assistance, and most of
those would drop their coverage.

with private businesses, offering

Kasichs administration has worked
to boost transportation revenue amid
lagging federal outlays.
Government data reviewed by
The Associated Press show Ohios
spending from the federal highway
trust fund fell nearly 8 percent from
2008 to 2013. The downward trend is
widespread among states.
Michael Leachman, director of
state fiscal research at the nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy
Priorities, said both federal and state
gas taxes are producing less revenue due to a combination of factors,
including Americans driving more
fuel-efficient vehicles and the tax
not being adjusted for inflation for
decades.
States are in a pickle, Leachman
said. Theyre not dealing with this
in Congress, so states are having to
figure out how theyre going to deal

In the same vein, the Republican
governors administration sought and
received authority to sell $1.5 billion

been sold, with about $930 million

Leachman said such programs are
inventive but the cash they generate isnt significant. The
$850,000 a year in logo
fees would pay for about
three feet of roadway,
he said.
The financing problems are severe and so
these kind of ticky-tacky
things can help, but
theyre not going to solve
the problem, he said.
Still, State Farm Insurance has
purchased rights along Ohios major
interstates to display its logo on a
fleet of highway assistance vehicles
in a program the state and the company say is mutually beneficial. State
Farm is paying Ohio $850,000 a year
over the next four years, with an
option to extend to 10 years.
The freeway service patrol program helps stranded motorists with
flat tires, dead batteries or empty gas
tanks and responds to accidents from
6 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays on major
interstates in Cincinnati, Toledo,
Cleveland, Columbus, Akron/Canton,
Dayton and northern Kentucky, said

ODOT spokeswoman Melissa Ayers.
State Farm spokeswoman Angie
Rinock said Ohio is the 12th state
where the insurance company has
participated in such a program.
It aligns perfectly with what we
do, Rinock aid. It goes right back
to our mission, which is to keep
people safe. She said there has been
virtually no pushback about increased
commercialization from the public,
as has sometimes been the case with
the branding of stadiums and concert
venues.
A separate logo program that
allows hotels, gas stations and restaurants to advertise along state roadways has brought in $2.8 million to
$7.6 million a year since 2009, state
figures show.
In another effort to stretch state
dollars, Ohio signed an agreement in 2012 with the private firm,
Management Consulting Inc., or
ManCon, to manage its vehicle and
equipment parts. The arrangement is
projected to save the state about $5.6
million over the life of the three-year
contract, Ayers said.

Day and open house
VAN WERT On Feb. 6, Vantage hosted over 700 sophomores for Sophomore Visitation Day. Each sophomore had
the opportunity to investigate and explore two different career
technical programs of interest to them. During each one-hour
visit, there were hands-on activities, demonstrations and presentations prepared especially for the sophomores.
Vantage Cosmetology students prepared a style show for the
10th-graders, while those visiting Welding and Auto Body got
a chance to try out the new virtual welder and virtual painter.
Students visiting Carpentry went out to the building site to
inspect the progress being made on this years house project.
In Auto Technology, students learned how to use the tire balancer and the rim clamp. Sophomores in Network Systems got
to use some of the latest technology Oculus 3D Rift Virtual
Reality, Motion Capture and Google Glass, while those visiting Interactive Media got to experience the new 3-D printer.
Community members and alumni also came out in force to
celebrate Career Technical Education Month on Monday night
at the annual Vantage Open House. Many sophomores who are
considering attending Vantage for their junior and senior years
brought their parents to the evening event.
Below are a few frequently asked questions and answers
- about coming to high school at Vantage.
Q: Can I go to college after Vantage?
A: About 41 percent of Vantage graduates continue their
education immediately after high school graduation at a twoor four-year college. Students are urged to check with their
guidance counselor to be sure that all requirements for college
entrance are met.

The temperature has dropped down to the

teens this morning. It sounds windy outside.
Today is Thursday so its laundry day
again. We usually wash laundry on Mondays
and Thursdays. Usually by the next morning
the clothes are dry on the lines in the basement. Oh, how nice when spring weather
comes and we can wash clothes, dry them
outside, and have them folded in one day.
Daughter Loretta came home from school
sick on Monday forenoon. She hasnt been
able to go back yet. I called the doctor and he
thinks it is probably the flu.
Tomorrow and Monday there isnt any
school, as its midwinter break. My plans are
to take Joseph to the dentist to get a small
cavity filled and to get some groceries.
Sons Benjamin, 15, and Joseph, 12, went
over to Timothys house two nights this week
to help him with his work. They really enjoy
spending time helping him.
Son Kevin, 9, usually takes care of our
chickens. He has been bringing in around 40
eggs every day from the new chickens we
raised this fall. Kevin still has his run-ins with
the mean rooster.
Last Saturday my husband, Joe, and sons
helped Jacob and Emma dress a beef. With
Loretta being sick, I havent had time to ask if
they need help this week in cutting it up.
Brother Amos is back to work but has still
been having dizzy spells. He has seen several
doctors, but so far they havent really been
able to figure out what is causing them. He
still works construction workhelping build
Menards buildings. They have quite a few
hours of traveling to do every day. I hope its
nothing serious. Amos has always been a hard
worker and its hard to get him to slow down.
Hes ten years older than I am and will be 54
this year.
Daughters Verena, 17, and Loretta, 14,
recently attended their friend Graces birthday
party. They enjoyed the evening with friends
and made some new ones.
Joe plans to smoke the summer sausage
this coming Saturday. He is hoping it wont
be too cold outside.
We still have lots of snow piled outside.
The driveway is cleared off and the roads are
dry, which is nice to see.
This week Ill share a recipe that I tried for
ham and bean soup. Not too many in our family like ham and beans, but if you do, I would
suggest you try this recipe. I sent some over
to Jacob and Emma, and they really liked it.

OTTOVILLE For
the second night in a row,
Ottoville High School hosted
McComb in basketball action.
And for the second time, the
Big Green said good-bye to
their seniors with a big win
over the Panthers.
On Monday evening, the

68-31 victory over McComb
and Tuesday night was the
boys turn as they won easily
61-40 in non-league action.
In pregame ceremonies,
Ottoville honored a pair of senior
cheerleaders: Anna Bendele and
Megan Lambert. Also recognized were basketball players:
Colin Bendele, Kyle Bendele,
Tyler Roby, Austin Honigford
and Brandt Landin.
McComb got the scoring
underway as Blake Glaser hit
a 3-pointer for the Panthers
only lead of the contest. The
Big Green went on a 10-0
run, highlighted with triples
by Roby and Honigford. On

the defensive side, Landin
swatted away three McComb
shots to keep the Panthers
scoreless. Drew Bryan
stopped the Big Green streak
with a jumper but Ottovilles
offense stayed in high gear
as Honigford found Kyle
Bendele open under the bucket for two. Nick Moorman put
the Big Green up 14-5 scoring
on a fast break and Landin
finished out the first-quarter
scoring with an old-fashioned
3-point play.
After playing a nearly
perfect first eight minutes,
the Ottoville offense was
slowed by seven turnovers
in the second quarter. After
the Panthers scored first,
Landin lobbed the ball into
Kyle Bendle for the layin.
The Panthers managed to cut
the deficit down to 19-13 but
Roby ended any thoughts of a
comeback with a turnaround
baseline jumper.

Kalida spoils Lady

Vikings Senior Night
BY CHARLIE WARNIMONT
LEIPSIC Kalida girls basketball coach Adam Huber
was concerned how his team might come out for their Putnam
County League showdown with Leipsic Tuesday evening.
His Ladycats were amped up and ready to play Saturday
when the game was cancelled because of the weather conditions. As his team prepared for the makeup game Tuesday evening, he wasnt quite sure if they could get that emotion back.
His concerns were quickly answered in the opening minutes
of the game.
Kalida scored the first seven points of
the game and never trailed as they defeated Leipsic 54-44 to ruin Senior Night for
the Vikings.
With the win, the Ladycats claimed at
least a share of the PCL title as they are
6-0 going into their league matchup with Continental Thursday
night. Kalida is 16-5 overall, while the Vikings dropped to 6-1
in the league and 16-4 overall.
I was a little bit concerned as we were ready to go Saturday
and they were pretty disappointed when we had to turn around
and go back to school. I didnt know how that extra time would
work against us or for us, Huber said. In practice yesterday
(Monday), it wasnt the greatest practice we have had. I knew
we were ready game plan wise. They took it to heart, did exactly what we asked them to defensively. We clinched a share but
we have a game left Thursday. Well enjoy this tonight and get
back to work tomorrow.
Kalida senior Jackie Gardner helped the Wildcats get off
to a good start forcing a turnover on Leipsics initial possession, then hitting a 2-pointer and 3-pointer to give Kalida a
5-0 lead. A Kylie Osterhage basket made it 7-0 before Brooke
Gerdeman finally broke the ice for Leipsic with a short jumper.
Kalida ended the opening quarter with a 15-12 lead as Brittany
Kahle and Gardner both had a 3-pointer to help offset nine
firstquarter points by the Vikings Gerdeman.
Leipsic senior sharpshooter Shalynn Morman pulled the
Vikings within a point twice in the second quarter but her
points were few and far between for the Vikings as she finished
with 11 points (her final six in the fourth quarter), which is five
points below her average. Besides helping Kalida get off to a
good start offensively, Gardner along with teammates Nicole
Recker, Joni Kaufman and the rest of the team helped keep
Morman from getting into a rhythm offensively.

DELPHOS A night after Ottoville

knocked down 14 3-pointers in a rout of
McComb, the Lady Big Green returned
to the court to take on non-league
archrival St. Johns Tuesday afetrnoon
at Robert A. Arnzen Gymnasium.
This night, the Green didnt need
to be so hot from beyond the arc; their
defense did it for them in a 44-31 victory.
The game was postponed due to
Saturdays weather.
The loss spoiled Senior Night activities for five Lady Blue Jays (8-13):
Emilee Grothouse (6 markers), Tara
Vorst (4 steals, 2 assists), Rebekah
Fischer (2 boards), Sam Kramer (2
boards) and Halie Benavidez.
The Ottoville (14-7) combination of
defenses was helped majorly by a whopping 26-11 edge off the backboards
(12-3 offensive), especially a 17-1 edge
the first half.
After battling to a 12-all tie to end
the first eight minutes of action, the
Blue and Gold got a 3-ball from Lexie
Hays (7 counters, 3 dimes) at six minutes and a triple by Madilynn Schulte
(team-high 9 markers) at 4:40 sandwiched around a basket by Ottoville
senior Lexie Wannemacher (6 rebounds,
5 steals) to take its biggest lead of
18-14. The hosts would not score again
the first half, missing two more shots
in a low-paced contest and turning it
over three times (22 total). Meantime,
Ottoville got started wth a hoop-andharm by junior Nicole Kramer (gamehigh 14 counters) at 3:15 and took the
lead for good on a triple by senior Annie
Lindeman (10 markers) at 2:20. Senior
Haley Landwehr dropped a triple at
1:40, Kramer a 10-footer at 1:00 and
Ottovilles Alicia Honigford (25) and Lexie Wannemacher (hidden) are outnumbered on this rebound effort as St. Johns Emilee Grothouse, Sydney Fischbach,
Lexie Hays and Madilynn Schulte surround them during non-league girls cage
action Tuesday afternoon at Arnzen Gymnasium. (DHI Media/Kenny Poling)
Lindeman another bomb at 33 ticks for
a 28-18 halftime edge.
It was a familiar scenario for us
tonight. We were executing some good
things offensively the first 20 minutes
or so and it made our defense much
better as well, Blue Jay mentor Dan
J. Grothouse explained. Then we hit
the wall. Ottoville picked up its defense
and we went into panic mode. Ottoville
is too good to not expect that to happen

and we just stopped doing everything
we had been doing well. We got into a
hurry with shooting, passing, ballhandling; we didnt want the ball. Then we
stopped getting to their shooters. You
do that against a good team and you see
the result.

T-Birds pull away to win over Spencerville

By JEREMY SCHNEIDER
LIMA Momentum is a powerful force in athletics. A
slight swing one way or the other often means the difference
between victory and defeat.
Lima Central Catholic took momentum and a
double-digit lead into halftime of its boys basketball
matchup Tuesday with Spencerville and, despite a
putrid third quarter, went on to beat the Bearcats
64-48.
Sometimes momentum doesnt show up on a stat
sheet or play-by-play but it did Tuesday. Zach Goecke
hit a pair of free throws with 4:15 remaining until
halftime to pull Spencerville with three points at 25-22.
From there, though, LCC found its legs and went on an
11-2 run. Dantez Walton had four points and Nick Taflinger
drilled a 3-pointer during the run.
We had to find the shooters. (Mason) Nourse was getting
looks, (Jacob) Meyer got some good looks and I said we have
to find those shooters, LCC coach Frank Kill said. When we
find those shooters, when you close out, it makes for a longer
rebound and got us some easier baskets.
The Thunderbirds (18-2) needed that run because, prior to that,
Spencerville wasnt showing signs of going anywhere. LCC built
a 13-6 lead midway through the first quarter but Spencerville
closed the quarter little 8-5 burst to gain some new life.
And again in the second quarter, after Tre Cobbs opened
scoring with a 3-pointer, Spencerville (12-7) clawed back with
a Jacob Meyer 3-pointer and 3-of-4 shooting at the free throw

line to pull within 25-22.
Spencerville went 1-of-9 from the field in the third quarter
and still managed to gain ground on LCC. The Bearcats went
7-of-10 from the free throw line in the quarter while LCC
managed just three field goals.
We didnt come out of halftime with a lot of momentum
but it woke our guys up to say, Hey, this is a good
team that could bounce back. We remember last year
and two years ago, Kill said, referencing back-to-back
Bearcats wins in the series. Those were not good
feelings.
The fourth quarter more resembled LCCs effort in
the final part of the second quarter. Cobbs and Walton
iced the game with dominating performances in the
quarter; Cobbs had eight points and Walton had seven of the
22 scored by LCC.
Defensively in the second half, the difference was we
closed out on their shooters, Kill said. I dont even know if
they made a three in the second half because of the way we
contested the shots. In the fourth quarter, we stepped up our
game and attacked more.
Walton narrowly missed out on a double-double, leading
all players with 20 points and nine rebounds. Cobbs provided
ample support, adding 18 points.
Nourse came off the bench to lead Spencerville with 13
points. Damien Corso had nine points and Dakota Prichard
had six points and six boards.

Lady Panthers scorch the nets in 60-54 win

By JIM COX
ROCKFORD In a well-played
game between evenly-matched teams,
Parkway edged Waynesfield-Goshen
60-54 Tuesday night.
Both teams are now 8-13.
The game featured some outstanding
shooting with both teams hitting over
50 percent from the field. There were
18 made 3-pointers, nine by each team,
and 13 of those triples came in the first
half.
Thats by far the best weve shot
the three all year long, said Parkway
coach Chris Weirrick. That was pretty
exciting. What wasnt so exciting for
me was Waynesfield has not shot threes
well all year long and they were 9-of-13,
69 percent from three. I didnt think we
played terrible defense, they were just
hitting their shots.
The wild fourth quarter was totally
different from the first three periods. It
was the only quarter during which the
teams didnt shoot well and neither team
made a 3-pointer. For the first time, free
throws became a factor as nine of the
games 15 attempted foul shots were in
those last eight minutes.
Parkway seemed to be in control
with a 52-41 lead and six minutes left
in the game but the the Tigers Jenna
Crawford hit three straight open layups,
all on assists from Paige Crawford.
Jenna Crawford also sank an and-1
after the third bucket, and it was 52-48
with 4:28 left. Panther freshman Haley
Hawk swished two free throws, and
Parkways Sarah Gehron (12) tries a jumper over a Waynesfield-Goshen defender during Tuesdays non-conference meeting in Rockford. The Lady Panthers built an early lead and held on for a 60-54 win. Kayle Heckler led the
Panthers with 16 points while Gehron added 13 along with a team-high seven
rebounds. (DHI Media/Pat Agler)
Terra Walls nailed a bucket from the left
elbow, pushing the Lady Panther lead
back to 56-48 at 3:02, but the outcome
was far from decided.
Jenna Crawfords two foul shots and
a Kiley Valenti layup cut it to 56-52
with two minutes left. Sarah Gehron
landed an eight-foot baseline jumper,
but Valenti escaped for another layup,
pulling the Tigers back to within four at
58-54 with 1:03 remaining.

A missed shot at each end, a Parkway
turnover, and an in-and-out Waynesfield
layup led to a back-court foul sending
Kayle Heckler to the line where she
sealed the deal with two free throws at
0:04.

Cardinals wear down Musketeers in hoops

By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
FORT JENNINGS Fort Jennings
was already minus three injured starters:
senior veterans Connor Wallenhorst (out
for the season) and Nick Von Sossan
and junior Alex Berelsman; when New
Bremen came to town for a non-league
boys cage clash Tuesday night inside
The Fort.
The Cardinals used their superior
depth and relentless man-to-man defense
to force 29 turnovers and grab a 69-48
triumph.
The teams stayed relatively even in
the early going, with the Musketeers
(5-13) who used some variety in
their defensive schemes, especially man
and a box-and-1 scoring first and the
Cardinals (12-8) answering. That was
true for the first four baskets for each
team, with the Musketeers taking their
final lead of 8-6 at 3:40 on a putback by
freshman Brandon Wehri. However, he
was faced with foul trouble most of the
game several players battled fouls
on both sides as the visitors were called
for 25 and the hosts 18. An Alex Britton
(8 points, 8 boards) put back a miss at
3:20 for the final tie and Braden Elshoff
(3 steals) scored inside at 3:00 to give
the Cardinals the lead for good at 10-8.
Despite both teams committing eight
miscues in the ragged first period, the
Cardinals shot 7-of-10 and took a 17-8
edge on an inside deuce by Nolan Fox
(10 counters, 4 caroms) at 15 ticks.
The visitors cleaned up their ballhandling in the second stanza four turnovers while the Musketeers trying
to meld different cogs into the lineup
due to those injuries didnt (8 errors).
In addition, five offensive rebounds
(15 for the game out of Bremens 32
total) helped the guests shoot 5-of-16
(Jennings 3-of-5). The foul line came
into play as well with the visitors hitting
9-of-10 in the stanza (14-of-17 overall
for 82.4%) and the hosts 8-of-11 (19-of30 for the contest for 63.3%). Bremens
largest margin was 35-17 on a pair of
Fox singles at 2:28 before Jennings got
it down to 37-22 at the half on two foul
shots by Drew Grone (13 markers, 8
boards, 3 robberies) at 48.5 ticks.
Fort Jennings still struggled against
the Cardinals D in the third, committing nine more errors and only getting
nine shots (4 makes). New Bremen
canned 9-of-18, with seven players scoring at least a basket, and built a 56-32
edge on a short baseline J by Greg
Parker at 1:30.
The Musketeers kept battling and
went to a 1-2-2 zone at the start of
the fourth. As well, they showed more
aggression and got to the line frequently
(hitting 9-of-14). The closest they could
get was 62-47 on a drive down the
lane by Austin Kehres (19 counters, 9

boards) at 3:42. However, both benches
emptied after that.
In toto, New Bremen canned 27-of61 fielders, 1-of-13 beyond the arc, for
44.2 percent; and added 18 miscues.
Carson Manger was the third player in
double digits with 11.
Its tough to have injuries like that;
were trying to mix and match people
and its tough to gell so quickly. We had
too many turnovers and counting their
offensive boards, they had a lot more
opportunities, Musketeer coach Keith
Utendorf explained. Still, I am so proud
of the effort of these guys. They kept at
it and I saw a lot of positives to build
on from here on. We should be getting
healthier in the near future and well
have to work those guys back into the
lineup.
For the night, Fort Jennings counted
14-of-35 shots (1-of-6 behind the arc)
for 40 percent; and amassed 32 caroms
(11 offensive).
Thats the defense we try to play;
wear teams down by just keeping after
people. We go to our bench early and
often, New Bremen coach Adam
Dougherty said. The games we lose,
we dont stay close enough to allow our
depth to pay off. We also have a good
inside-out mix but we basically try to
go through our inside people as much as
possible offensively.
In junior varsity, New Bremen
claimed a 42-35 victory.

Tate Myers downed 15 for the victors, while Jeff Hoersten countered with
11 for the Orange and Black.
New Bremen visits St. Johns Friday.
Fort Jennings visits Pandora-Gilboa
Saturday night.

Washingtons star-studded
rotation reports to Florida.
Matt Harvey continues his
comeback with the New York
Mets. Joe Maddon takes over
the Chicago Cubs and Russell
Martin gets a closer look at
Torontos pitching staff.
While much of the
Northeast and Midwest navigates bitter cold and piles of
snow, spring training begins
in earnest this
week when pitchers and catchers
file into camps
in Florida and
Arizona. World
Champion
San
Francisco is one of four
National League teams slated
to begin on Thursday and
most of the majors pitchers
and backstops will be in place
by this weekend.
Following several massive
free-agent deals and blockbuster trades, there are plenty of compelling story lines
heading into baseballs first
spring training since Rob
Manfred took over as commissioner in January.
The Nationals strengthened their already solid rotation by signing free agent
Max Scherzer to a $210 million, 7-year contract. Now
the pressure is on Scherzer to
deliver on that big deal and
help the reigning NL East
champions advance deep into
the playoffs for the first time
since the franchise moved to
Washington.
While Scherzer will
attract plenty of attention this
spring, it looks as if Tanner
Roark will have to adjust
to a bullpen role after he
had a breakout season a year
ago, winning 15 games with
a sparking 2.85 ERA. The
right-hander is a nice insurance policy for manager Matt
Williams should any of the
starters get hurt.
Harvey missed all of last
season for his recovery from
elbow ligament-replacement
surgery, and got an early start
on spring training by report-
All in, or sit out: NBA teams decide as trade deadline nears
NEW YORK The East was a 2-team race at last years trade
deadline and Larry Bird made the move he thought would win it.
When the Indiana Pacers acquired Evan Turner from
rebuilding Philadelphia, they hoped it would provide the
scoring punch to beat out Miami and reach the NBA Finals. It
didnt and Turner is now in Boston.
Now the Pacers are trying to get in the postseason, two
games out of eighth place and seeking a spark that could slingshot them past others down the bottom of the playoff ladder.
Bird promises to be as aggressive as when his team on top.
Were always looking to improve the team and obviously theres a lot of improvement that needs to be done, the
Pacers president said recently. So well look
around the league and talk to a lot of different people and see whats out there and hopefully we can
do something that makes us better.
If not, he said, hell wait until the summer.
Thats what every NBA team has to decide in
the next couple of days.
The trade deadline is Thursday afternoon and with
many teams in contention, the question is whether
that makes them more conservative or cautious.
Help could be found in the hours before the NBA returns
from its All-Star break. But some will be hesitant to tinker
with so little time left in the season. The Turner deal, in which
Indiana traded popular veteran Danny Granger, certainly
didnt help its locker room chemistry.
Plus, teams can plug holes by simply opening their wallets,
without costing any assets.
Houston signed Josh Smith after he was waived by Detroit,
Amare Stoudemire is headed to the Mavericks once he clears
waivers and other veterans could be bought out and become
free agents after the deadline.
One of the most intriguing moves could involve Ray Allen,
who will have contending suitors if he opts to play after sitting
out all season.
The teams most motivated to deal might be the disappointing ones. Brooklyn probably cant find a taker for Deron
Williams with all his injuries and dollars left on the $98.5
million contract he signed in 2012, but was close to moving Brook Lopez earlier this season. Denvers rocky season
should have contenders calling to inquire about Arron Afflalo,
Ty Lawson or Wilson Chandler.
The right move can help someone surge through spring.
The wrong one could mean an early start on summer.
Dont count on top stars changing teams none has at the
deadline since Utah surprisingly sent Williams to the Nets on
the eve of the 2011 one. Teams more likely trade at this point
to clear cap space for the summer, which is why the New York
Knicks could seek a deal for Jose Calderon after already shipping out guards J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert.
Cleveland acquired them and, along with getting Timofey
Mozgov from Denver in a separate deal, perhaps proved the
best moves for this season were already made.
Dallas acted quickly to acquire Rajon Rondo from Boston
in December, not long before Memphis capitalized on the
Celtics youth movement to deal for Jeff Green.
For Golden State and Atlanta, the current NBA leaders,
their winning moves maybe came long ago.
The Warriors got Andrew Bogut from Milwaukee at the

2012 deadline to provide some muscle in the rugged West.
Five months later, the Hawks acquired Kyle Korver from
Chicago and he could be headed for the best perimeter-shooting season in NBA history.
When I got traded to Atlanta I was coming from Chicago
and I wasnt really all that excited about it, to be honest with
you. But all the people that Danny Ferry kept on bringing
in, theyve been not just good basketball people but good
people, Korver said. When I was a free agent two summers
ago, I chose to come back. We had some opportunities to go
to some teams that already were more established and could
win but I just really believed in what Atlanta was building and
what they were doing.

to Arizona after a banner
offseason that included the
addition of Maddon, who had
a 754-705 record during his
successful nine-year run with
Tampa Bay.
Cubs President
Theo
Epstein
pounced on the
quirky skipper
after he opted out
of his contract
with the Rays, dumping Rick
Renteria after just one season. Epstein is counting on
Maddon to ease the transition
of the organizations impressive stable of prospects to the
rigors of the majors.
The Cubs were one of
baseballs most active teams
over the winter. Same goes
for Toronto, which is seeking
its first playoff appearance
since it won the World Series
in 1993.
Martin was one of the
majors most prized free
agents over the winter, and he
opted for an $82 million, fiveyear contract with the Blue
Jays. The three-time All-Star,
who was born in Toronto
and raised in Montreal, hit
.290 with 11 home runs and
67 RBIs with Pittsburgh last
season, helping the Pirates
to a second straight playoff
berth.
Here are a few more things
to watch heading into spring
training:
HERE COME THE
CHAMPS
The last team to win consecutive World Series was
the New York Yankees from
1998-2000. The next team to
take a crack that feat is San
Francisco, which beat Kansas
City in seven games for the
title last fall.
See MLB, page 8

MLB
Green
(Continued from page 6)
The good news for the Giants is they have plenty of experience when it comes to defending the title, having also won
the World Series in 2010 and 2012. But they failed to make the
playoffs following each of their previous two championships,
slipping to a 76-86 record in 2013.
One spot to watch this spring is third base, where Casey
McGehee replaces Pablo Sandoval after the slugger signed
a $95 million, five-year deal with Boston over the winter.
Madison Bumgarner returns after throwing a whopping 270
innings last year, and Matt Cain is back after he had surgery in
August to remove bone chips from his right elbow.
MANY HAPPY RETURNS
The comeback capital of the majors is New York, which
has Harvey hoping to return to form, and three intriguing situations with the Yankees. Left-hander CC Sabathia is back after
he missed much of last season with a degenerative cartilage
problem in his right knee, and Masahiro Tanaka is looking
for a healthy second season after he was limited to 20 mostly
impressive starts last year due to an elbow injury.
But one of spring trainings biggest stories is the return of
Alex Rodriguez after the three-time AL MVP was suspended
for last season for violations of baseballs drug agreement and
labor contract. Rodriguezs last major league game was Sept.
25, 2013, against Tampa Bay, so no one really knows what to
expect from the 39-year-old slugger.
Reds first baseman Joey Votto (left knee), Rangers first
baseman Prince Fielder (neck surgery), Orioles third baseman
Manny Machado (right knee surgery) and Rockies shortstop
Troy Tulowitzki (left hip surgery) are among the other noteworthy comebacks to watch this spring.
NEW FACES IN NEW PLACES
Maddon gets to give the ball to Jon Lester every fifth day
after the lefty signed a $155 million, six-year contract with the
Cubs. Lester went 16-11 with a 2.46 ERA with Oakland and
Boston last year.
Kalida
said. I thought our offensive

execution against the man, we
got a little quick and didnt
get good shots. Thats what
nice about having a lot of
juniors and seniors that have
been through the wars. They
have seen all these situations
and they responded in a positive way. Im really proud of
them.
They did a great job pressuring us right out of the
gate, Leipsic coach Gary
Kreinbrink said. They set
the tempo early and we never
really able to climb out of
the hole. That is two games
in a row now, that we fell
behind early and havent been
able to get all the way back.
Give them credit , they played
great. Jackie Gardner hit big
shots early to get them off to
a good start. Give them credit
for hitting some big shots
early to get the lead.
Gardner led the Ladycats
with 23 points and Allison
Recker added 11 points.
Gerdeman led the Vikings
with 13 points and Morman
finished with 11 points.
Leipsic won the junior
varsity game 33-28.

Shalynn is a great player

and we were just trying to
make it tough on her, Huber
said. For the most part I
thought we did a really nice
job on her. Jackie, Nicole and
Joni Kaufman, you have to
credit everyone, because it
takes five players to guard a
player that good. We were a
little torn on how we wanted
to guard them but we started
Jackie on their point and she
forced a turnover right away.
Jackie set the tone for us
defensively and everyone fed
off that energy. It was nice to
see all five working together
on defense.
After Mormans three
made it a one point game at
20-19, Kalida finished the half
with a 7-0 run as Osterhage
had a basket, Kaufman hit
a three-pointer and Allison
Recker two free throws.
Kalida continued their
momentum into the third
quarter as they built an 11
point lead at 36-25 on an
Osterhage three. Leipsic
scored the final four points
of the quarter as the Ladycats
took a 36-29 lead to the fourth
quarter.
Although they never led
in the game, Leipsic made
things interesting two minutes
into the fourth quarter with a
6-1 run that had them within 37-35 on a Kelly Nadler
free throw. Kalida ended the
drama there with a 10-2 run
that was highlighted by six
points from Gardner, that
started with a steal and layup
before hitting two free throws
and a jumper in the lane.
Brittany Kahle and Allison
Recker added baskets as the
Ladycats were up 47-37.
Leipsic pulled within
seven at 49-42 with 1:26 left
on a Morman three as that
would be as close as they
would get.

Now, Where Was That?
After an Ottoville miscue, McCombs Clay Grubb

scored his 1,000th career
point on a fast-break layup.
Following a brief break in the
action to honor the milestone,
the Panthers had a chance
to cut into the lead but converted only two out of five
attempts from the charity
line. Honigford sunk a pair
of free throws for the final
points of the first half as the
Big Green led 23-19 at the
break.
Ottovilles offense was
back, opening the second
half with seven unanswered
points on a pair of baskets by
Landin and a triple by Roby.
Drew Siferd got the Panthers
in the scoring column in
the second half but Bendele
answerd with a triple from
the corner. Meanwhile, Kyle
Bendle scored after grabbing
a loose ball under the rack
and hit a turnaround from the
paint as the Big Green lead
was now 43-28 after three
periods.
Ottoville put away the
game quickly in the opening
minutes of the final quarter as Landin and Honigford
scored. Following a Panther
bucket, Landin struck again
with a pull-up jumper from
the foul line and scored on
an inbounds alley oop from

Roby. The Big Green landed a total of five 3-pointers
during the game and a final
one by Roby gave Ottoville a
20-point lead, 54-34. The Big
Green also displayed great
team play as Moorman got
the assist to Kyle Bendele
for two. McCombs Jordan
Skilliter hit his second trey of
the game but Landin matched
the feat with a hoop-and-foul.
During the free throw, coach
Todd Turnwald pulled the
seniors off the floor one by
one to be recognized by the
hometown fans for the final
time.
What a great way to go
out for our seniors, remarked
a proud Coach Turnwald.
All five of our seniors had
a huge game to defeat a very
good McComb squad. In fact,
that is the best game Ive
ever seen Austin Honigford
play - he is our point guard
and it made it happen for
everyone.
Landin led the Big Green
offense with 16 points and
classmate Roby was right
behind with 14, including
a pair of 3-pointers. Kyle
Bendele was also in double digits with 10 points.
Ottoville shot 54 percent
from the field and was 12-of13 from the foul line.
We had three straight
Jays
Ottoville mentor Dave Kleman

altered his game plan some since his
etam had played the night before.
We seemed to be a little leg weary
at the start. (Assistant coach) Vaughn
(Horstman) made the suggestion to sub
early and often and then we got our second wind, Kleman added. We played
much better the second quarter. We hang
our hats on our defense and that part
of our game has been pretty steady all
season. St. Johns played pretty good
defense on us for the most part as well.
The Jays drought continued into the
third period, lasting another 3:45
missing four shots and adding three
more miscues as Ottovilles lead
reached 36-18 on two freebies by Alicia
Honigford at 4:53. A Schulte bomb from
the right wing finally broke the drought
at 4:15 but the Jays would again have
another drought the rest of the third
and Ottoville took a 38-21 edge on a
Lindeman 4-footer off a back-screen set
with 1:12 showing.
It was a good learning experience for our guys, no doubt.

Its a game that prepares you for the tournament, Spencerville
coach Kevin Sensabaugh said. We just lost a game. Its not
like we lost our season all of the sudden.
The Bearcats lead the Northwest Conference standings by
1/2 game over Crestview.
We talked about some of the things right now in the locker
room we did wrong, some of the things we need to correct, but
we also understand that we are young and were learning still,
Sensabaugh said. Every game is an opportunity. So we say,
O.K., we didnt play well enough tonight to win, so we put
this in the rearview after we watch film and we try to move
forward.
The Bearcats went 19-of-27 from the free throw line, led by
Nourse and Corso, who combined to go 11-of-17. Meanwhile,
LCC attempted 11 foul shots and hit five.
However, the T-Birds made up for that disparity with a huge
advantage on the glass, outrebounding Spencerville 26-16.
The first quarter was about as good

as it gets. There were seven lead changes and seven made 3-pointers: four by

Hays hit a 10-footer for the Jays at

7:02 but the Jays simply didnt have the
firepower this day to mount much of a
threat as their deficit never fell below
the final score. The five seniors finished
the game and their home careers
on the The Vatican court.
Both teams struggled with turnovers the first period, splitting a total
of 12. They both shot pretty well as the
Jays were 5-of-7 and the Green 5-of-9,
with Kramer coming off the bench for
seven in the period. When Jessica Geise
popped off the pine for a basket with 32
ticks on the clock, the score stood 12-12.
In sum, Ottoville connected on 14-of33 shots (4-of-12 long range) for 42.4
percent; 12-of-15 from the line (80%);
and totaled 20 miscues and 10 fouls.
Overall, St. Johns canned 12-of-28
fielders (4-of-11 beyond the arc) for
42.9 percent and 3-of-6 at the stripe
(50%); and 14 fouls.

rebounds and thats usually something we concentrate on and
we just didnt do a very good job of that, Sensabaugh said. If
you dont rebound and take care of the ball late in the season
against good teams, youre not going to win.

For the game as a whole, field goal

shooting was virtually even with W-G
at 53 percent, 21 of 40, and Parkway
at 52 percent, 22 of 42. The Panthers
were 7 of 10 from the stripe, the Tigers
3 of 5. Parkway had 12 turnovers while
Waynesfield committed 14. The key statistical difference was on the boards, with
the Panthers winning that battle 23-12.
Heckler again was outstanding in all
facets of the game and led all scorers
with 16. Gehron, Hawk, and Kayla Walls
added 13, 9, and 9. The Lady Tigers
had excellent scoring balance among its
five starters, as Abbie Van Horn, Jenna
Crawford, Paige Crawford, Valenti, and
Sydney Buffenbarger scored 12, 11, 10,
10, and 9, respectively.
The Parkway junior varsity is
10-10 after its 43-32 win. The balanced Panther scoring attack was led by
Sydney Crouch with seven. The W-G JV
squad is now 11-10.

Unverferth recognized for

innovative product design
KALIDA The American Society

of Agricultural and Biological Engineers
has announced Unverferth Manufacturing
Company, Inc., has won a prestigious
AE50 award for its innovative Equalizer
tracked undercarriage for grain carts.
AE50 competition entries are submitted
annually by companies around the world
with up to 50 of the best products chosen
by a panel of international engineering
experts. The judges select products that
will advance engineering for the food and
agricultural industries.
The AE50 awards program is sponsored by Resource magazine to emphasize
the role of new products and systems in
bringing advanced technology to the marketplace. These engineering developments
help farmers, food processors and equipment manufacturers cut costs, enhance
quality and increase profits.
About Equalizer Tracks
Increasing flotation and minimizing
soil compaction is at the top of many
farmers minds during harvest to maximize next years crop yield. The Equalizer
track undercarriage for grain carts provides
added flotation and is designed to keep the
carts footprint evenly distributed across
varying terrain. The undercarriage features
a patent-pending pivot point that allows
each track to not only oscillate up and
down, but also left to right for equalizing
the carts footprint over uneven terrain.
The undercarriage features the industrys first 42-inch wide belt with shallow
tread design provides 15-percent greater
footprint, over 60 square feet, yet retains
a 12-foot, 8-inch length for easier turning
around corners and minimizing berming.
Hydraulic belt tensioning provides easier
track alignment, optimum ground contact
and even weight distribution. Two sets
of four pivoting bogie wheels rotate up
and over ground contours for even greater
ground contact. Each tracked undercarriage
is standard with an automatic greaser for
Juggling too many remotes?

SAN
FRANCISCO
(AP) How many remotes
does it take to watch television, stream Netflix or
record your favorite show
on DVR?
The Ray Super Remote
wants to declutter your coffee table and become the
central nervous system of
all of your home entertainment systems. The touchscreen device, released
Tuesday, is designed to
control TVs, cable boxes,
DVRs, video game consoles and Internet streaming players such as Roku
and Apple TV. Whats
more, it runs on software
that learns viewers preferences so it can list programs suited to personal
interests.
As we looked at ways
to reimagine TV, it seemed
like the remote control
needed the most help,
says David Skokna, CEO
of New York-based Ray
Enterprises. We think we
have a big opportunity to
do something magical.
Priced at $199, the
remote wont be released
until May or June, but
pre-orders are being
accepted online at http://
www.ray.co . It requires a
Wi-Fi system and pay-TV
boxes to work properly.
This isnt the first
attempt to build a smarter
remote control. Logitech
and a few other electronics companies have been
making universal remote
controls for years. More

recently, a variety of mobile
apps have been offering
ways to turn smartphones
and tablets into multipurpose remote controls.
After nearly three years
developing his device,
Skokna is counting on the
Ray remotes versatility
and intelligence to stand
out from the other options
on the market.
The Ray remote controls more than 200,000
devices and can run applications that will enable it
to control other Internetconnected home appliances, such as Googles Nest
thermostat. The search
and recommendation features are set up to eliminate the need to spend
a lot of time looking for
content. Users can tell the
remote what kinds of programming interests them,
such as soccer or comedy,
so shows fitting those categories are automatically
highlighted on the nearly
5-inch screen.
The remotes battery
lasts for about 10 days, and
can be easily recharged in
a power station that doubles as a holding tray.
The biggest question
facing the Ray remote may
be this: How many people are so frustrated with
juggling multiple remote
controls that they will be
willing to spend $199 on
another device?

American lobster: The new

Chinese New Year delicacy
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) Now on the menu in Beijing for
Chinese New Year: lots and lots of American lobster.
Exports of U.S. lobster to China have rocketed in the past few
years, largely to satisfy the appetites of the communist countrys
growing middle class, to whom a steamed, whole crustacean
flown in live from the United States is not just a festive
delicacy and a good-luck symbol but also a mark of prosperity.
And thats good news for Maine, far and away the nations
No. 1 lobster state, where the boom has put more money in the
pockets of lobstermen and kept shippers and processors busy
during the usually slack midwinter months.
For Stephanie Nadeau, owner of The Lobster Co., a wholesaler in Arundel, Maine, the demand has meant 14-hour nights
spent stuffing wriggling lobsters into crates so they can reach
China in time for the Lunar New Year, which falls on Thursday
this year. She said she sends 100,000 pounds a week to China
this time of year.
Theres lot of orders, lots of demand right now, Nadeau
said. It is a race to get them there for Chinese New Year.
On the other side of the world, every morning at 9, the
Auspicious Garden restaurant in Beijing receives 800 lobsters
that have just crossed the Pacific aboard a cargo plane. In the
evening, hundreds of diners fill the two-story restaurant in the
gigantic Pangu Seven Stars Hotel for a nearly $80 all-youcan-eat buffet with the New England specialty as the main
attraction.
Xu Daqiang, a 35-year-old businessman who was at the
restaurant for the first time on a romantic date with his girlfriend,
said food-safety concerns in China make him choose expensive
high-class restaurants where he can find imported seafood.
Cao Lijun, a 24-year-old Shanghai resident celebrating her
friends birthday in a party of four, alluded to lobsters reputed
aphrodisiac properties when she said with a half-laugh: How to
say it? It makes my husband healthier. Really, this is what we say,
because it is high in proteins.
Lobsters and other foods seen as luxuries are popular at Lunar
New Year and other festive occasions. The bright red of a cooked
lobster is considered lucky, as is its resemblance to a dragon.
China also imports lobsters from Canada, Australia, South
Africa, the Caribbean and elsewhere, but the market for the U.S.
variety is exploding, with the demand strong year-round, not just
at New Years.
American exports of live or processed lobster to China
climbed from $2.1 million in 2009 to $90.5 million in 2014, federal statistics show. China took about 12 percent of U.S. lobster
exports in 2014, up from 0.6 percent in 2009.
Settling an estate is easier

when information is shared
DEAR BRUCE: I am 71,
divorced, and recently updated all the information my four
sons need to manage the final
details of my will. My total
estate is in the million-dollar
range. I have named my oldest son (who is an attorney) as
my executor and sent him a
copy of the will. I sent the others a list of my account numbers and contact information,
passwords, final wishes, etc.
Do you think it would be
appropriate to send each of
my other sons a copy of my
will? Ive worked with senior
citizens and their families for
several years, and most families Ive met know little or
nothing of their parents holdings and wishes. Id like to be
more open with my children,
and we are all on good terms.
What are the pros and cons?
-- P.B.
DEAR P.B.: I cant think
of any cons and a whole raft
of pros, assuming you are
accurate when you say, We
are all on good terms. Case
closed! The more information
they have available to them,
the simpler it will be to settle
the estate.
DEAR BRUCE: I am 75
years old. I have been drawing Social Security for several
years. I receive $56 a month.
I do receive a retirement from
the U.S. government, but with
gas prices and taxes going up
all the time, it seems that we
never have any money.
My wife draws $556 a
month in Social Security. Is it
too late for me to draw Social
Security off of her account?
-- G.H.
DEAR G.H.: By all
means, you should make an
application to find out if you
can draw Social Security off
of your wifes account. Since
youre receiving such a tiny
amount, its very likely that
your wife would have a certain amount of spillover on
your behalf.
If I were you, I would make
an appointment at the Social
Security office. Have all the
facts regarding both of your
incomes, etc., in writing when
you get there, and the likelihood is that the Social Security representatives can tell
you what to expect. If you are
told you cant draw from your
wifes account, I wouldnt
drop it there. Consult one of
the many attorneys who specialize in these matters.
DEAR BRUCE: I am 27
years old and have only been
in the workforce after college
for a year. I already feel behind in terms of investing in
savings, retirement, etc., but
I dont think it is too late for
me to start. I dont want to go
through life financially naive.
Is there a book you can recommend for me, something

along the lines of Investments/Retirement for Dummies? -- Erin
DEAR ERIN: You should
be saluted for recognizing that
you are starting a little behind
and you wont catch up unless
you start. I dont think its too
late for you to start, either, as
you have pointed out.
There are many books
available, but you can also
go right to the many online
search engines and find a
potpourri of information.
You can also start by reading
the business section in your
local newspaper and magazines that are written for the
non-knowledgeable
investor. You will find after a few
months how much youve
learned. At your age, you
have a long way to go, and I
congratulate you on your mature approach to the subject.
DEAR BRUCE: The
401(k) plan my employer
offers is based almost entirely on bonds. My employer
provides a 1 percent match.
While that might be right
for someone close to retirement, I doubt that its right
for me. Im 26 years old.
What should I consider when
deciding whether to take my
money out of the 401(k) and
move it to a higher-yield investment, such as an indexed
stock market fund? -- Megan
DEAR MEGAN: Since
your employer provides a
match, even though you may
find that the employers plan
is based entirely on bonds, the
1 percent is a freebie and certainly not money you should
give away unless you can find
a better plan that provides a
far greater return. That should
be simple to determine.
Then look around for
something better-suited for a
younger person such as yourself. I would recommend the
marketplace. Over a long period, this is almost always going to go up. Time is on your
side.

DEAR WORRIED WIFE:
Because there have been more than

your husband hasnt discouraged
them. Confront him. Tell him you
feel what shes doing is a threat

stopped. But before you do, make
copies of the texts so you can confront the woman with them if she
doesnt stop.

I now live in a different state and,

obviously, a different era. Neighborhood kids constantly use my
steep driveway to ride their bicycles, tricycles and scooters without
asking permission.
Am I right in thinking this is
rude, because in my opinion, they
are trespassing? Not only could I
be held responsible if one of them
gets hurt on my property, but they
also are extremely loud and do this
while my children are trying to nap.
They have been asked to stop, and
I have threatened to talk to their
parents, even though I dont know
where they live. What do I do? -FRUSTRATED HOMEOWNER
DEAR FRUSTRATED: Discuss this with your insurance broker. You are correct that if one
of the children gets hurt on your
property you could be liable. You
also need to be more proactive than
you have been. Tell the kids they
are disturbing your children who
are trying to nap, and if the kids
dont go away, find out where they
live and talk to the other parents.
It would be cheaper than having to
install a gate in front of your driveway.

esophagus, the swallowing tube that

connects our mouth
to our stomach.
Our
stomachs
make acid to help digest food. The lining
of our stomachs is
built to resist injury
from the acid. The
lining of the esophagus, however, is easily injured by acid.
To protect the lining
of the esophagus from
acid, there is a circular
ring of muscle where
the esophagus joins
the stomach. Its called
the lower esophageal
sphincter, or LES. The
ring opens to allow
food weve swallowed
into the stomach.
Then it clamps down,
preventing acid from
reaching the esophagus.
In GERD, the LES
doesnt clamp down
enough. As a result,
stomach acid squirts
up into the lower
esophagus. This irritates the lining, causing the sensation of
burning.
Fortunately, diet
and lifestyle changes
can help prevent reflux. Here are some
things you can try:
-Eat
several smaller meals
throughout the day,
rather than one or two
big meals. A stomach full from a big
meal (and acid) is
more likely to cause
GERD.
-- Relax when you
eat. Eat slowly.
-- Remain upright
after eating. Try not
to bend over or strain
to lift heavy objects
for at least three hours
after eating.
-- Avoid eating
within three hours of
going to bed. Do not
eat bedtime snacks.
Food (and acid) in
the stomach refluxes more easily when
youre lying down.
-- Lose weight. Excess pounds increase
pressure on the stomach and push acid into
the esophagus.
-- Loosen up.
Avoid tight belts,
waistbands and other clothing that puts
pressure on your
stomach.
-- Avoid foods that
can trigger reflux:
Dr. Anthony
Komaroff
On Health
high-fat foods, spicy

dishes, tomatoes and
tomato
products,
citrus fruits, garlic,
onions, milk, carbonated drinks, coffee
(including
decaf),
tea, chocolate, mints
and alcohol. They
all relax the circular
muscle and make reflux more likely.
-- Stop smoking.
Nicotine stimulates
stomach acid production. It also impairs
the function of the
muscle that keeps
food and acidic juices
in the stomach.
-- Chew (sugarless) gum. It increases saliva production,
soothing the esophagus and washing
acid back down to the
stomach.
-- Discuss your
medications
with
your doctor. Certain drugs, including aspirin and other
NSAIDs, oral contraceptives, narcotics,
certain
antidepressants and some asthma medications can
cause heartburn.
-- Raise your
beds head. Elevate
the head of your bed
by placing a wedge
under your upper
body. Dont elevate
your head with extra
pillows. That makes
reflux worse by bending you at the waist.
-- Exercise wisely. Wait at least two
hours after a meal before exercising.
-- Try herbal remedies. Certain herbs,
including
chamomile, ginger and licorice, may help relieve
heartburn symptoms.

overdo it, you can actually make your skin

look worse, according to ShopSmart, the shopping magazine from the publisher of Consumer Reports.
Its also easy to overdo it on nail polish removers, tooth whiteners, facial cleansers and
wrinkle creams. How do you know if youre
guilty of beauty-product overkill? ShopSmart
outlines the signs and how to prevent it:
-- Exfoliation products
When you overdo it, by using an exfoliant
too often or too vigorously, you can easily end
up with red, blotchy skin and even abrasions.
Just as you can scratch wood with sandpaper,
you can scratch the surface of your skin by aggressive scrubbing, says Dr. Barbara R. Reed,
a clinical professor of dermatology at the University of Colorado Hospital in Denver.
Play it safe. Exfoliating once or twice per
week is plenty. If you have highly sensitive
skin, acne or rosacea, go easy with strong exfoliating products such as alpha hydroxy acid
scrubs or mechanical brushes, which can make
your skin condition worse.
-- Nail polish removers
When you overdo it, your hands might
look fresh, but if you use the wrong type of
polish remover too often, your nails could become brittle and discolored. Most nail polish
removers contain acetone, which dehydrates
the nails, says Dr. Erin Gilbert, an assistant
professor of dermatology at SUNY Downstate
Medical Center in New York City.
Play it safe. Limit the use of nail polish remover to a max of once per week. After removing polish, rinse your hands and nails with
water to remove the chemicals and rehydrate
the nails. Then moisturize your nails with hand
cream or cuticle oil.
-- Teeth whiteners
When you overdo it with at-home whitening strips, you can cause permanent damage
by softening tooth enamel, irritating the dental
pulp where the nerves are and even burning
the gums and other soft tissues in the mouth,
warns Dr. Gigi Meinecke, a dentist in Potomac, Maryland, and a spokeswoman for the
Academy of General Dentistry. If your teeth
become chalky white, she says, youve had
a profound effect on the micro-hardness
of the enamel. The tooth now is susceptible to
abrasion even from a toothbrush. If you find
that food is getting stuck between your front
teeth, you may have burned away that small
triangle of gum that normally sits between
each tooth.
Play it safe. ShopSmart suggests using
whitening strips as directed daily for just a
week or two. Then use them for a day or two
every other month to maintain the results.
-- Facial cleansers
When you overdo it with sudsy or foaming
cleansers -- especially those with salicylic acid
or glycolic acid -- you could strip natural oils
from your skin. That can cause dryness, itchiness, flakiness and inflammation -- and emphasize the appearance of fine lines.
Play it safe. Vary your cleansing regimen
with the seasons. In the warmer months, when
youre sweating, a sudsy or foaming cleanser
will do a better job of cleansing and reducing
clogged pores. Most people need to cleanse
once a day if their face is dry, and twice a day
in the summer if it is sweaty or oily, Reed
says.
-- Wrinkle creams
When you overdo it on retinoid creams
-- especially strong prescription formulas -which work by stimulating collagen production and increasing cell turnover, you can end
up with red, dry, peeling, stinging and burning
skin.
Play it safe. A little goes a long way, says
Dr. Sonia Badreshia-Bansal, a dermatologist
who is also a clinical instructor at the UCSF
Medical Center. You only need a pea-sized
amount for the entire face. Also, start slowly
with a low retinoid concentration, using it every second or third night. Applying a gentle
neutral moisturizer, such as CeraVe PM, over
your retinoid can reduce the irritation factor
by half, Gilbert says. You can gradually work
up to nightly use and a formula with a higher
concentration.

Do Just one thing

An electric space heater can be an efficient way to heat a room because it heats
only where you want, not the entire house.
When shopping for a space heater, the Department of Energy recommends you buy
one that has the Underwriters Laboratory
(or UL) label on it, which means that it has
passed certain safety tests. Choose one that
has a thermostat on it; this allows you to
choose the right heat settings for your home
so you wont be overheating a room. Be sure
to keep space heaters away from automatic
thermostats in your home -- it could trick the
thermostat into thinking your whole home is
warmer than it is. Finally, get the right size:
Measure the room and then use the space
chart on the box to find the right size at the
store.

Just Biden being

Biden? VP's odd
moves give pause
WASHINGTON
(AP)
Heres the thing about
impromptu moments in politics: Often they work, sometimes they fall flat, but occasionally they turn out downright awkward. Vice President
Joe Biden learned that the
hard way Tuesday twice.
Hosting a White House
summit on violent extremism,
Biden sought to draw a parallel between Minneapolis,
where local leaders are working to prevent radicalization
of Somali youth, and his
hometown of Wilmington,
Delaware, which Biden said
also has a large, very identifiable Somali community.
I might add, if you ever
come to the train station you
may notice that I have great
relations with them, because
an awful lot of them are driving cabs, and are friends of
mine, Biden said.
His audience a group
of religious and community leaders, many of them
Muslim or of African descent
responded with muted,
uncomfortable chuckles as
Biden continued without
skipping a beat. For real.
Im not being solicitous, Im
being serious, he said.
To some, the observation
smacked of a well-publicized gaffe that then-Sen.
Biden made in 2006, when
he told an Indian-American
supporter that in Delaware,
you cannot go to a 7-Eleven
or a Dunkin Donuts unless
you have a slight Indian
accent. Amid the resulting
dust-up, Bidens aides said
he simply meant to highlight the vibrant IndianAmerican community in his
home state.
Just a few hours before
musing about the preponderance of Somali cabbies, Biden
was swearing in new Defense
Secretary Ash Carter when he
got up close and personal with
the wife of the man who now
runs the most powerful military in the world.
As Carter began speaking
in the Roosevelt Room, Biden
beckoned Stephanie Carter
from across the room, then put
both hands on her shoulders
as her husband thanked Biden
for presiding over the ceremony. Bidens hands lingered
for roughly 20 seconds until
he leaned in and whispered in
her ear.
What, pray tell, was the
vice president confiding in
Carters wife? Its anybodys
guess, but within seconds
Carter reached back and put
his own hand on his wifes
shoulder as he thanked his
perfect wife Stephanie for
her support along his professional path.
Both incidents sparked
prompt and voluminous reactions on social media, as
viewers who caught the events
on TV or heard about them
later pondered: Just what was
Biden thinking?
No stranger to improvisation, Biden over decades has
built a brand on his tendency
to speak his mind, endearing him to those who crave
authenticity from political
leaders. Bidens supporters
brush off his more jarring
moments as just Biden being
Biden.

Did NSA plant spyware in

computers around world?
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Did the
National Security Agency plant spyware
deep in the hard drives of thousands of
computers used by foreign governments,
banks and other surveillance targets
around the world?
A new report from Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab said its researchers identified a new family of malicious
programs or worms that infected computers in multiple countries, primarily
overseas. Targets appeared to be specifically selected and included military,
Islamic activists, energy companies and
other businesses, as well as government
personnel.
Without naming the United States as
the source of the malware, the report
said one of the programs has elements
in common with the so-called Stuxnet
worm, which the New York Times and
Washington Post have said was developed
by the U.S. and Israeli governments to
disrupt Iranian nuclear facilities. Based
on their similarities, the creators of both
programs are either the same or working
closely together, Kasperskys report said.
The malware was not designed for

financial gain but to collect information
through pure cyberespionage, added
Kaspersky researcher Vitaly Kamluk. In
its report, the firm said the malware was
extremely sophisticated and expensive
to develop.
NSA spokeswoman Vanee Vines
declined comment Tuesday, but cited a
2014 presidential directive that instructed U.S. intelligence agencies to respect
Americans privacy while continuing to
conduct overseas operations necessary to
guard against terrorism or other threats.
Kaspersky researchers said some of the
spyware was designed to burrow into the
essential software that comes pre-installed
on a computers disk drive, known as
firmware. Once there, it was difficult to
detect and virtually impossible to remove,
and it could gain access to vital codes,
such as the keys to deciphering encrypted
files. Kamluk said compromising firmware is a difficult technical challenge that
likely requires knowledge of the manufacturers source code normally a closely
guarded secret.
White House puts immigration

plans on hold after ruling
WASHINGTON (AP) The Obama administration put its
new deportation-relief program on hold Tuesday on the eve of
its launch, complying reluctantly with a federal judges order
that roiled immigrant communities nationwide and seemed to
harden an already-tense stalemate on Capitol Hill.
President Barack Obama promised an appeal and predicted
hed prevail. But for tens of thousands of immigrants in line
to begin applying today for work permits and deportation
stays under his directives, their plans were canceled, at least
temporarily.
Talking to reporters in the Oval Office, Obama said he disagreed with the ruling by U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen of
Texas that the administration had exceeded its authority. But he
said that, for now, he must abide by it.
Were not going to disregard this federal court ruling,
Obama said, but he added that administration officials would
continue to prepare to roll out the program. I think the law is
on our side and history is on our side, he said.
On Capitol Hill, the Homeland Security Department stood
10 days away from losing funding, but Hanens ruling made
a compromise on that dispute look more distant than ever.
Republicans are blocking funding for the agency unless
Democrats agree to cancel Obamas immigration orders, and
they seized on the ruling as validation for their position.
Congress must reassert its waning power. We must re-establish the constitutional principle that the peoples representatives control the purse, said Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, a
leading immigration hardliner.
Yet Senate Democrats, who have been blocking a Housepassed bill that would fund the department but also undo
Obamas actions, said the ruling from Hanen did nothing to
budge them.
For show dogs, complex monikers are the name of the game
NEW YORK (AP) His name says it all:
Sumluv Robert Deniro Johnson was bred to be a
star.
His drama-queen mother is Susan Lucci. His
high-jumping dad: Magic Johnson. Deniro himself
is a grand champion at the art and sport of being a
Chinese shar-pei.
Why Deniro?
Hes a ham, owner Maria Johnson of Newark,
New Jersey, said this week as Deniro stared down
Westminster Kennel Club dog show visitors as
though auditioning them for a movie of his own:
Pet This.
With mash-up monikers and more initials than a
doctors office diploma wall, its no wonder show dogs
leave some spectators asking just whats in a name.
But the fanciful-sounding handles arent just for
show. They reflect dogs credentials, pedigrees and
characteristics, plus breeders systems for distinguishing one litter of puppies from another.
Sometimes, theyre just plain pun.
Naming the puppies is one of the most enjoyable parts of having a litter. We have a lot of
fun with it, says Dalmatian breeder Mary-Lynn
Jensen of Windermere, Florida. Her latest pups are
getting names related to the HBO drama Game
of Thrones. Previous litters were named after
champagne appellations, beers, Disney characters,
United

Campaign Chair Mike Swick,
president and CEO of Lima Memorial
Health System applauded the successfull campaign and wished incoming Co-chairs Phil Buell of Superior
Federal Credit Union and Karen
Grothouse of Spherion much success
in 2015. He also noted the real reason
behind a good campaign.
Another important part of the
annual campaign is its volunteer
novelist Janet Evanovichs Stephanie Plum mystery

series and phrases that include aint or mind.
Perhaps the most irresistible: Woodwynds
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotted Mind, aka Shiner.
A primer: Show dogs and many other purebreds
have formal registered names that go in breed
records. Whether chosen by breeders or owners,
registered names generally begin with the breeders kennel, such as Sumluv in Deniros case or
Woodwynd in Shiners.
Names might include other kennels or dogs
from the pups pedigree. Registries may add a number or an owners name if needed to differentiate
one Rover from another. Abbreviations before and
after dogs names denote their accomplishments,
such as GCH for grand champion in traditional
breed judging, MACH for agility master champion or OM for obedience master.
Then the dogs have everyday call names.
Theyre generally chosen by owners and may or
may not relate to registered names. Adding another layer, breeders might use temporary puppy
names before the dogs go to their owners homes.
Names can function as a quick-reference code
for recalling a dogs lineage or litter. Many breeders
name litters in alphabetical order all A names
one year, B the next, and so on.
Others like to get a little more creative.
