Your 401(k) offers tax-deductible contributions, tax-deferred growth of
earnings potential and a variety of investment options so its a great tool
for building retirement savings. Yet like all tools, your 401(k) must be used
properly to get the best results. Thats why you should review your 401(k) at
least annually and make whatever adjustments are needed.
Depending on where you work, you may get some 401(k) review help
from your plan provider. But if that assistance isnt available, you might want to
consult with a financial professional to make sure youre getting the maximum
benefit from your plan.
As you begin to review your 401(k), your first question should probably
be this:
How much should I contribute? At the very least, try to put in enough to
receive your employers matching contribution, if one is offered. If you dont
earn this match, you are essentially walking away from free money. Beyond
this, though, the amount you put into your 401(k) might depend on what other
retirement savings vehicles you have available. For instance, if youre eligible,
you may also want to contribute to a Roth IRA, which offers tax-free growth
potential, provided youve had your account for five years and dont start
taking withdrawals until youre 59.
Of course, its not only how much you put into your 401(k) that determines
its success its also how you choose to allocate your investment dollars.
(Keep in mind that asset allocation does not guarantee a profit or protect
against loss.) Your 401(k) may have a dozen or more investment choices,
such as stock funds, bond funds and money market funds. To choose the right
investment mix, youll need to consider a variety of factors, including these:
Your age Generally speaking, the younger you are, the more
aggressive you can afford to be with your 401(k) investments, because
youll have decades in which to potentially overcome the inevitable down
periods of the market. As you get older, you may wish to invest somewhat
more conservatively, but youll still need some growth potential in your 401(k)
portfolio.
Your goals Everyone has different goals for retirement. You might
want to retire early and travel the world, while your co-worker desires to
work as long as possible and then, upon retirement, stay close to home and
pursue hobbies. Because you each have different goals, with different income
needs, you also may need to follow different investment strategies within your
401(k).
Your other retirement income sources If you have a variety of
retirement income sources a pension from another job, an IRA, a spouse
with generous retirement benefits you may need to invest differently,
perhaps less aggressively, than if you had fewer options for retirement
income.
Apart from putting away as much as you can into your 401(k) and
choosing the right investment mix, what else can you do to get the most out
of your plan? Heres a suggestion: If you have worked at various jobs and
acquired multiple 401(k)s, consider rolling them over into one account. You
might save money on fees and reduce paperwork, but more importantly,
youll be able to concentrate your resources and pursue a unified investment
approach, with your investment dollars working together toward your ultimate
retirement goals.
As you can see, a 401(k) review and rollover can reward you in many
ways so do whatever it takes to maximize your 401(k)s performance.

Youve got until April 17 to contribute to your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) for the
2011 tax year. Thats not a lot of time, but if you have some money available, and you havent
completely funded your IRA for 2011, consider doing so before the deadline. And once youve
maxed out on your IRA for last year, why not get a jump on 2012?
Actually, you could have started contributing to your 2012 IRA as early as Jan. 2. In fact,
if you can get into the habit of fully funding your IRA each January, youll give your money 15
extra months of growth potential, as opposed to waiting until mid-April of the following year.
If you factor in all the years youll be contributing to your IRA before you retire, those extra
months of growth opportunities, repeated over decades, could end up providing you with a fair
amount of extra cash when you start tapping into your IRA at retirement.
Of course, you may not find it all that easy to come up with the full IRA contribution
amount at one time. (In 2012, you can put up to $5,000 into a Roth or traditional IRA, or
$6,000 if youre 50 or older.) But if you look at your entire financial picture, you may be able to
think of some resources. Here are a few suggestions:
* Put your tax refund to work. In 2011, the average tax refund was about $3,000, according
to the IRS. If you received that amount in 2012, and you applied it toward your IRA, you would
already have met half the contribution limit (if you are 50 or older) or more than half (if youre
younger than 50).
* Take advantage of interest payments or dividends. If you own income-producing
investments, you may find that they can help you fund your IRA early. For example, if you own
dividend-paying stocks, and you dont typically reinvest the dividends, consider putting some
of these funds into your IRA. (Keep in mind, though, that stocks can reduce or discontinue
dividends at any time). And you can do the same thing with any interest payments you receive
from bonds.
* Put other windfalls into your IRA. If you receive a windfall, such as a bonus from your
employer or a gift of cash, think about putting it into your IRA.
If none of these options present themselves, and you cant afford to write out a big check
to fund your IRA very early in the year, do the best you can to reach the contribution limit as
soon as possible. To make this happen, consider setting up a monthly automatic transfer from
your checking or savings account into your IRA. Even if you were to divide these transfers into
15 equal payments totaling $5,000 (or $6,000 if youre 50 or older), you would still be funding
your IRA more quickly than if you would have scrambled to contribute in the last few months
before the tax filing deadline.

I imagine most of you missed
the article recently on the salary
of the CEO of the Ford Motor
Company. It being written on
page five of a local page it could
be missed very easy. It made
for some interesting reading in
regard to his salary he receives.
According to the article he is paid
a total of $29.5 million dollars
and that figures out to $5.00 from
each new car sold by Ford during
2011. And also Ford made $20.2
Million for 2011.
I wonder how Henry
Ford would feel about his
workingmans car now.
I am sure most of you have
heard or read about the use of
turbines for producing electricity
I came across the following
information just the other day that
you might find interesting. First
off one of the major arguments
against the turbines was that they
make too much noise and are very
distracting. The report showed
the turbines produce 36.84
decibels, or less than the noise
heard in a library. A vacuum
cleaner produces noise of 70
decibels. Also some health issues
such as headaches, dizziness
and heart palpations occur in
those living near wind turbines.
A report released in January
by the Mass. Environmental
Protection Agency said there
was no evidence that noise or
low-frequency vibrations from
turbines trigger health issues.
This all came about because
Kalida Manufacturing wants
to install two turbines to off set
its electricity cost. I wonder if
all this information would have
prevented Mercer County from
turning down the chance for
turbines to be installed here? It
might have made it interesting!!
Thats My Opinion.......Whats
yours??

QUESTION: I have treated my pet for fleas, but they are still itching. What could it be?
ANSWER: Itching can be caused by many conditions. However, the most common condition
is flea allergy dermatitis (FAD). Even though you have taken all the precautions to prevent your pet
from fleas, your pet may still suffer the condition. Here are five facts from Dr. Carlo Vitale, a veterinary
dermatologist:
FAD is common. FAD accounts for 50% of all canine and feline dermatology cases according
to Companion animal Parasite Council (CAPC) that are reported to veterinarians. Signs to look for on
your dog are scratching around the base of the tail, rear, and groin. Cats often tend to lick to the point of
exposing bare skin or will scratch and have crusty bumps around their neck.
You pet can be affected by FAD even though you have administered a topical or oral flea
preventative. Most flea preventatives sold by your veterinarian work great for the average pet, especially
when used year round. When a flea jumps are your pet, the preventative does not kill it instantly. There
is always a delay or the preventative is designed to break the egg cycle not kill the flea. If you have a pet
that suffers from FAD, a few bites during this delay may result in hours of scratching or licking.
Fleas are not always present with FAD. You may not see any no matter how well you search over
your pet. You veterinarian may not even be able to detect a flea on your pet, either. Fleas are very quick,
and some pets have thick coats. The fleas do not want to be seen, so even a very thorough search can
come up empty. All it take is a quick pass by a nest of fleas to expose your pet to a new batch.
Your other pets will not necessarily itch. - Not all pets are affected by FAD, so one pet in your house
may suffer and the rest do not. Even after you have administered flea preventative to all your pets and
they all spend the same amount of time outdoors, one may spend the rest of the day scratching and the
other unaffected.
Even indoor animals can suffer from FAD. Fleas are not just outdoors. They may have been
transported into your house via your pet or humans. As long as they have a warm place to thrive, they
pose a risk and threat to your pet.
FAD can be treated. Dr. Vitale recommends the common treatment of a 10-14-day dose of a mild
steroid along with a vigilant protocol for flea control. Most pets will have relief from itching in one to two
days.
Consult your veterinarian for itching and scratching with your pets. They will be able to diagnose if
your pet is suffering from FAD or if another condition is indicated such as allergies or mange. They will
know the best treatment that will work for your pet.

The lucky One
A pAST FAVORiTE
By: Nicholas Sparks
Reviewed by: Georgia Rindler
Nicholas Sparks is undoubtedly
one of the most popular writers of
romance novels in the last decade.
With the upcoming movie release
of The Lucky One, his books have
been flying off our shelves. Logan
Thibault served three tours of duty
in Iraq. He saw men in his fire team
die. He saw men in his company
die. He saw men in his regiment die.
All were close to him---literally, yet
he survived. His best friend Victor
told him it was because of the
photograph. The one he found in the
Kuwait desert during his first tour.
Logan had tried to find the owner,
placing it on the message board
near the entrance to camp. After ten
days, the photo of the blonde with
the words LUCKy LADy across
the front of her t-shirt was never
retrieved. For a reason he never
understood, Logan took the photo
down and put it in his pocket. The
first noticeable incident was
the way his poker losing
streak instantly changed to
a winning streak. Logan
wouldnt have thought
anything of it, but Victor
was very superstitious---
and very convincing, not
to mention relentless. He
believed it was destiny that
Logan found the photo. And
now it was his responsibility
to find this woman. Going only
on the clues from the photo---a
banner with the words HAMPTON
FAIRGROUNDS, three evergreen
trees, and the words, Keep Safe!
E written on the back, he followed
Victors insistence. A few Google
searches led him to believe the
picture was taken in North Carolina.
So with his German shepherd,
Zeus, he walked from Colorado
to find the young woman in the
picture. Thats when the story
really begins. Without giving away
too many of the surprises, I will
tell you that Logan does find what
hes looking for in North Carolina.
He also uncovers some other things
he did not expect. Victors words
theres more haunt him. He
begins to believe finding the lucky
lady is not the sole purpose of the
journey. His fate revolves around
something or someone else.
There is more, but hes not
sure what or who it is. But
he could sense something
else was coming. And he
was right.
Nicholas Sparkss
books have always been
well-liked with our readers.
He has another winner
with The Lucky One. Its
an interesting story with
some unexpected twists. you can
find it in the fiction and large print
sections under SPA. The library also
has an audio book version of this
popular story. If the copy you want
is checked out, you can have your
name put on a request list and we
will hold it and call you when it is
returned.
Mike and Tricia Ontrop, Cubmasters for Cub
Scout Pack 96 of Coldwater, spoke to the Coldwater
Kiwanis Club on March 27, 2012. Tricia said the
pack has 45 members divided into dens based on their
grade in school. Cub Scouting is an educational and
fun-filled experience based on values. The program
teaches the boys to do their best and to help others. As
they complete projects, they earn badges and ribbons
to put on their uniforms. Recent Pack 96 activities
include: National Scouting for Food Day, Memorial
Day Services, Community Picnic, Pinewood Derby,
Family Campout, and a Christmas Party. The scouts
collected 300 bags of food and donated those items to
the local Food Pantry. They also ran the Pizza stand at
the Community Picnic. Mike noted that scouting began
in 1910 and is represented in 161 different countries.
He also presented some amazing statistics about the
leadership qualities that are gained from scouting. The
pack is seeking funds to replace its aging Pinewood
Derby track.

Page 10 May 21, 2009 - May 27, 2009
Celina Couple Receives Albert Heckler
Award from Cheryl Ann Programs
Louis and Dorothy Hoyng never imagined that theyd be-
come involved with Cheryl Ann Programs.
They were raising three happy, healthy boys in their Celina
home. Louie operated his custom upholstery shop next door,
and Dorothy worked in the high school cafeteria. They were a
typical family.
Then a very atypical thing happened. Their middle son,
Brian, was struck by lightning in 1981 when he was 16. With
that bolt out of the blue, the Hoyngs lives changed forever.
The odds of being struck by lightning are one in 280,000,
but the Hoyngs couldnt afford to spend much time thinking
about their terrible luck. They had a son who needed them
more than he ever had. The first years after Brians accident,
which left him with severe disabilities, were very difficult,
they said, as they searched for someone who could help them
help Brian.
Their school district helped as much as it could.Finally, then-
Superintendent Ralph Stelzer recommended a place the Hoyngs
knew about but had never visited as parents: Cheryl Ann.
Cheryl Ann was the best thing that ever happened to us,
Louie Hoyng said. It gave Brian his life back.
The people of Cheryl Ann helped Brian with his everyday
life. They gave him a place to go and jobs to do. He made new
friends, and enjoyed everything about his experiences there,
up to and including the bus ride out to Mud Pike.
When he would see Sam Morden (his bus aide) he would
just smile, and the people in Adult Day Services really knew
how to make him laugh, Dorothy Hoyng said.
It wasnt long before the Hoyngs were finding ways to re-
pay Cheryl Ann for its help. They were regular volunteers.
Louie Hoyng completed upholstery jobs for the unique
equipment used at Cheryl Ann, and often, said Superintendent
Mike Overman, Louie would forget to send us a bill. He
also served a term on the county MRDD board and was the
board president.
For all that, and for their tireless advocacy on behalf of
their son, the Hoyngs received the Albert Heckler Award at
the staff appreciation banquet in March. The award is given
each year to a Cheryl Ann family that exemplifies service and
advocacy.
The Hoyngs both served as good examples of first-rate
advocates for their son, Overman said. They rarely ever
missed a day spending time with him, and they always spoke
up to be sure his needs were being met. They were really spe-
cial parents for Brian, and really good supporters of our pro-
gram.
Brian Hoyng died in February 2008 at the age of 43. In the
years after the lightning strike he taught his family a lot about
patience, hope, endurance and acceptance. He introduced the
Hoyngs to a world they had only seen from the outsidebut it
was a world where they found welcome and acceptance.
We met some wonderful people during our years at Cheryl
Ann, Dorothy Hoyng said. They worked their hearts out
helping us with Brian.

Stateline Writers Meet
At the April meeting of the Stateline Writers Club, members read
profiles they had written about someone, living or dead or make-
believe, and member Eileen Whitsetts special activity of having mem-
bers combine pictures of particular scenes with a person or people
assigned to them to put into that scene brought interesting results.
Sue Miller and Gretchen Bollenbachers proposal for a special
meeting designed to attract new members was described and approved.
Members will be hosted by the Coldwater Public Library in June for
a reading of their best work.
At the next meeting, which will be on Saturday, May 16, mem-
bers will rehearse for their special program in June.
Stateline club members meet the 3rd Saturday of each month at
10 a.m. at the Celina Mercer County Library. Anyone interested in
coming to a meeting or becoming a member is cordially invited to
attend.
Celina Rotary Dog Park Dedicated
BY: BETTY LOU DENNEY/HALL
Opening day at the Celina Rotary Dog Park received
rave revues from the dogs. As the gates opened for the first
time on Tuesday May 12, dogs of all sizes were seen mak-
ing their way to the park to get a chance to run in over 3
acres of wide open spaces of the chain-linked fenced in
area. Small dogs area is an acre and the large dogs have
over 2 acres. The new park, which is one of newest and
biggest things happening in the State Parks around the coun-
try, was made possible due to the efforts of Deborha Borns,
Rotary Club President. Her friend, Darlene Lynskey, is also
working on getting a State Dog Park in her home town of
St. Marys. The two dog lovers along with many volunteers
worked many hours with the help of the State and Craig
Morton, who is the regional manager of Grand Lake St.
Marys. Together they cleared away debris from the previ-
ously unused land. The Park is located at the end of West
Bank Road
Deb Borns saw her idea come to life with the help of the
Celina Rotary Clubs major donation and businesses as well
as individuals who helped with labor and monetary dona-
tions. The idea came to her after visiting another dog park.
At the dedication ceremony Deb thanked many of the
people who made the park possible. Jeff Larmore, Past
Rotary President and Celina City Council Member spoke
as his 150 pound Newfoundland, Bentley checked out the
park. Jeff is also a large contributor to the park in honor of
the recovery of Bentley after he had been lost for several
days. Craig Morton, Regional Manager of State Park Gand
Lake St. Marys and John Hunter, Assistant Chief of the
Division of Parks and Recreation also spoke at the dedica-
tion ceremony. Deb concluded her speech with some wise
lessons that she has learned from her own dogs. A few of
which were: Never leave home without your leach and
your ID. If you stare at someone long enough, you will get
what you want. Last, if it is not wet and sloppy it is not a
real kiss.
One of the many visitors enjoying running free on dedi-
cation day was a lab /poodle mix owned by Dave Hochstien,
professor at Wright State University. He has other dogs at
home but decided to only bring one at a time. He com-
mented that this was the first time his dog had this much
exercise since he got him a year ago.
There are a few small problems to work out with the
park, such as the water faucet would not shut off and there
was a small hole under the fence in the small dog side of
the park, which of course was found by one of the little
furry visitors on dedication day. These problems will be
easily fixed. Memberships ($10) to Fur Ever Friends are
being sold to help with the upkeep of the park. The use of
the park is free to the public. One of the additions they
would like to have is benches added to the park for the
comfort of the owners.
The green stations placed around the fence for the dog
wastes were given at a discount by Florida based company
named DogiPot. Gary Brown, Assistant Operations Man-
ger, heard about the plans for the park and wanted to help
by giving discounts on the pots. The company has all Oxi-
biodegradable bags inside the pots for your dog waste. Gary
flew in from Florida to be a part of the ribbon cutting and
opening of the park. More of their products can be found
by going to: www.propet.org.
If visiting the park remember to follow the rules that are
posted at the entrance. Common sense is your guide such
as:
Dogs should have their current shots
The park has little dog and big dog sections, keep
dogs in their own spaces.
Dont leave dog unattended
Do not bring a dog that shows aggressive behavior
Keep small children under close supervision
Clean up after your own dog
Never bring a dog to the park that has an illness.
These are just a few precautions to remember. Check
the rules before entering the park and you and your dog
will have a great time The Park is open daylight to dark
everyday.

Dr. Allen Bernard, Cincinnati, sent
this April 17, 1983 advertisement from
The New york Times Magazine.
Across the top of the advertisement,
the title states, The Priceless Beauty
of Mersman. That said it all. No
matter how many name changes the
original Mersman Brothers Company
went through, the Mersman name has
always been the name which stayed
with the Company as well as the name
which stayed with the Tables.
If my memory serves me correctly,
Mersman employees received a
discount for purchasing Mersman
Tables. Some of those Mersman
employees may have purchased
Mersman Tables for their own homes
as well as their relatives homes. I
remember visiting friends and relatives
years ago, and they would proudly
show their new Mersman Tables.
People today point to their tables and
say, That is a Mersman Table.
J.B. Mersman founded this
Company at Ottoville, Ohio in 1876,
the year of our Nations Centennial
Celebration. The Centennial Exposition
was held in Philadelphia in 1876, of
which eight million people visited
the Fair, which had 249 buildings of
exhibits. Patents were being filed at
the U.S. Patent Office, E.G. Elisha
Gray and Alexander Graham Bell both
applied for patents on the telephone
in 1876. The typewriter was on
exhibit, and inspired Mark Twain to
purchase a typewriter, and was the
first U.S. author to switch from the
pen to the typewriter. Americans were
going through a wonderful era in our
history. The Railroads were crossing
the country and bringing faster and
better transportation to the interior of
America. With that faster method of
transportation, came the faster delivery
of newspapers across the Nation.
J.B. Mersmans dream of building
beautiful Mersman furniture was born
in 1876 and lasted over a century. He
moved his Company from Ottoville
to Celina in 1900. The Mersman
Company included its history in the
Mercer County Ohio History book
in 1978, and in the Celina Ohio
Sesquicentennial 1834-1984 History
Book. People seeking the history of
the Mersman Company refer to those
two books. However, when those
same people want the history of the
time Mersman Company closed, they
contact the Mercer County Historical
Society.
Therefore, I will ask you readers
to share the story of the closing of
Mersman Company at Celina. I
have been told several dates of the
Companys closing. Some people
spoke of the beginning of the end.
Others speak of the day the front doors
were locked. Would you please write
down your memories of the Mersman
Company and either email them to
me, or send them via the U.S. Post
Office? I will place your letters in the
Archival Collections of the History of
the Mersman Brothers Company at the
Mercer County Historical Museum.
For those of you who have
Mersman Furniture in your homes or
offices, you are most welcome to send
photographs of the Mersman Furniture
and tell when you purchased your
Mersman furniture.. Preservation of
Mercer Countys History, and the
Education of the Public about that
History is the Mission of the Mercer
County Historical Society, and that
includes the history of the Mersman
Furniture.
[The Mercer County Historical
Society President Joyce Alig, may
be contacted at 3054 Burk-St. Henry
Road, Saint Henry, OH 45883, or
histalig@bright.net or 419-678-2614.]

(NAPSA)-Americans have
heard a lot of mixed messag-
es about vitamins and may be
wondering if they are safe and
effective. As with most health
questions, its smart to look at
multiple information sources to
get the true picture on nutritional
supplementation.
The total body of scientific
evidence overall supports the
benefits of nutritional supple-
mentation, reports certified
clinical nutritionist Neil E.
Levin, nutrition education man-
ager at NOW Foods in Bloom-
ingdale, Ill. Surveys show that
most people trust vitamins, rely-
ing on them as a form of nutri-
tional insurance, and most doc-
tors surveyed recommend them
to their patients.
The Lewin Group has pub-
lished evidence-based research
reporting that the proper use of
certain dietary supplements can
save billions of dollars in health
care costs while improving the
quality of life and preserving the
independence of seniors.
The occasional negative
report, however sensational,
should be regarded skeptically
when contrasted with a solid
body of evidence. According to
Clearing up the confusion about
nutritional supplements
See SUpplEMENTS, page 9
When choosing supplements,
its best to base your selections
on a body of quality scientific re-
search, not just a single study.

HealtH awareness
the FDAs Consumer Update,
its a smart idea to think twice
about chasing the latest headline.
Sound health advice is generally
based on research over time, not
a single study touted by the me-
dia.
Standard study designs for
drug research shouldnt be used
for nutrient research because
drugs are novel substances not
normally present in the food
supply or the human body, while
nutrients are commonly found in
both places. This makes screen-
ing out variables much more dif-
ficult in nutrient studies, some-
times overwhelming competent
pharmaceutical researchers who
are inexperienced in the study of
vitamins and other supplements.
Several articles in prestigious
scientific journals such as The
New England Journal of Medi-
cine and The American Journal
of Clinical Nutrition suggest
that well-designed observational
studies provide more accurate
ways to evaluate nutritional ef-
fects in people than the gold
standard methods utilized in
drug research.
Jeffrey Blumberg, Ph.D., of
Tufts University points out that
you cant have a control group
with zero exposure to nutrients
because everybody eats. Ad-
ditionally, most nutrients are
interactive, with beneficial ef-
fects on multiple body systems,
yet randomized controlled stud-
ies are designed to investigate
only single outcomes. He agrees
that observational studies are a
more accurate way to see how
nutrients affect health because
they are more likely to include
the broad population and bear a
closer relationship to real-world
use of foods and supplements.
A number of nutritional sup-
plements have shown clear health
benefits supported by good sci-
entific research, including:
Vitamin D: This has
been shown to benefit bones and
teeth, strengthen the immune
system and support cardiovascu-
lar health.
Americans are often found
to be deficient in the sunshine
vitamin because so many of us
avoid direct sun exposure. Sea-
sonal flu occurs far more fre-
quently from autumn through
early spring, and intervention
studies have shown a direct rela-
tionship between low serum vita-
min D levels and the number of
respiratory infections reported.
Multiple Vitamins: The
American Medical Association
has recommended that most
people take a daily multivitamin
to supplement a healthy diet for
optimum nutrition. It helps fill in
nutrient gaps when dietary levels
may be insufficient.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: In ad-
dition to helping protect heart,
brain and nerve health, omega-
3s have been shown to have
wide-ranging health benefits
for inflammatory issues, such as
joint problems.
Vitamin E: A well-publicized
report warning against vitamin E
supplementation has been seri-
ously undermined by subsequent
reports. A vast body of evidence
actually shows major health ben-
efits from supplementing this es-
sential vitamin. Long-term stud-
ies looking at vitamin E intake
from both food and supplements,
confirmed by measures of blood
levels, support the idea that this
antioxidant nutrient prolongs life
and health in the general public.

(NAPSA)-Eating well means
planning ahead, which is essential
if you want to achieve or main-
tain weight-loss goals. With a little
knowledge and some advance plan-
ning, women everywhere can learn
how to make smart food choices that
will move them closer to their weight-
management goals. From breakfast
to dinner and snacks in between, a
successful weight-management plan
is the all-day, everyday solution.
Those looking to manage their
weight and live a more active life-
style should consider the following
tips:
Break the fast: Starting your day
with cereal can provide essential vi-
tamins and minerals. Studies show
that eating cereal as part of a nutri-
tious breakfast promotes a healthy
weight in both children and adults.
Even better, consumers now have
the freedom to enjoy granola. Special
K Low-Fat Granola, made of whole
grain granola sweetened with a touch
of honey and toasted to perfection
for a great taste and hearty crunch, is
an excellent source of fiber and has
50 percent less fat than the leading
granola-Special K Low-Fat Gra-
nola contains 3g fat per 52g serving,
while the leading granola contains 6g
fat per 51g serving. For a complete
meal, pair the granola with 23 cup of
milk or fruit.
Plan ahead: Planned snacks dur-
ing your busy day can provide en-
ergy and essential nutrients. Tempted
to hit that vending machine? Have
lower-calorie snacks on hand, such
as new Special K Fruit Crisps, with
two crispy bars for 100 fruity calo-
ries. Special K Fruit Crisps are a
crispy snack with filling made from
real fruit and a lightly sweetened
drizzle on top.
Divide your plate: Divide your
plate, conquer your weight. Fill half
of your plate with veggies or salad
(watch those fatty dressings!). One-
quarter should be lean protein-fish,
chicken or beef-grilled, baked or
poached. And the last quarter should
be carbohydrates-but watch the but-
ter and oil.

ROSSBURG, OH (March 27)
With the United States Auto
Club (USAC) Sprint division
1962 debut at Eldora Speedway
and Stan Bowmans feature win
dawned a relationship that has
spanned 50 years. A total of 181
USAC Sprint Car races among
70 different winners have filled
the record books with plenty of
history and countless memories.
That rapport continues into the
51
st
year on Saturday, April 21 and
to commemorate the milestone,
Bowmans fete will be honored.
The 50-year history goes back
to Easter Sunday, April 22, 1962;
at the peak of an era where the
road to the famed Indianapolis
500 was blazed through grassroots
tracks of the Midwest. That
phenomenon caught the eye of a
then youthful Earl Baltes, who had
recently reconfigured his growing
speedway into a one-half mile oval
to meet the minimum standards of
USAC at the time.
With the popularity of USAC
and the national point title, it was
not unusual to see the same stars
that battled in Indianapolis on
Memorial Day weekend racing
against the weekend warriors of
the Midwest throughout the rest of
the year.
Such was the case on Eldoras
Easter debut.
The starting line-up that
afternoon had Roger McCluskey,
Jim Hurtubise and Parnelli Jones
in the first three positions for the
30-lap headliner. Behind that trio
was Bowman, a local racer from
Covington, Ky, who had set his
sights on the Indy 500. It was his
third USAC Sprint Car start.
He was undaunted with the
talent that started ahead of him that
day. Bowman, running his 220
C.I. Offenhauser against the 327
C.I. Chevrolet engines of Jones
and Hurtubise, shot past Jones
down the backstretch on lap one to
inherit third spot. With fourth turn
moves on each of the successive
laps, he got by McCluskey and
then Hurtubise to take the lead and
eventual victory in a race that was
Bowmans 1962
Easter Sunday
win began 50-year
history at Eldora

Cut short at 25-laps due to rain.
The excitement and intensity
of that race triggered what has
become a 50-year staple at Eldora
Speedway.
Bowman never got the chance to
repeat the success of that afternoon,
as he lost his life in a Sprint Car
crash at Terre Haute (IN) Speedway
two months later.
As the Eldora/USAC
association continues towards
another anniversary, officials from
both entities, through input from
historian John Lucas, found it fitting
to reflect on the landmark event that
began it all. With assistance from
Lucas, Bowmans son Randy will
be on hand to reminisce about the
event, along with Diane Beck Lane,
daughter of Harold Beck, who
owned the car driven by Bowman
to victory that day.

OFF THE WALL
Observations ... by John Bruns
pARTiNG SHOTS
It was a painful experience for us
Buckeye fans last Saturday evening.
At this time the experts have already
explained to us why the Buckeyes
were in seemingly total charge of
the game for the first 19 minutes,
59 and 9/10 seconds. A double digit
lead for the Bucks at half would
have been mentally much bigger
than the nine point spread that
happened. It was the brain-dead
backcourt defense by the Bucks at
the first half horn which woke up
the sleep-walking men from Kansas.
The Jayhawks were a different crew
the second half. I have a problem
with all those basketball fans in
California, Oregon, Washington,
and other places in the Pacific
Time zone. They must be the
reason I am watching the most
important college game of the year
instead of the night time news. I
recall a time when the national
semi-final doubleheader started at
approximately 1 p.m. The starting
time was gradually moved back to
4 p.m., which was acceptable, as
the second game still ended before
I dozed off on the recliner. Perhaps
the late start caused our Bucks to
doze the second half. There was
a time when the NCAA semis and
finals were played in basketball
arenas and domes with auxiliary
seating added to the site. I seem
to recall a school pep band in each
corner with rabid student sections
from each school. In the old days,
the tournament games seemed to
have the atmosphere of a very big
time college with crazy students and
crazier alumni. The Bucks had a
one and done at New Orleans this
year, but can claim one distinction.
At the pre-game introductions of the
starters last Saturday, the television
viewers were provided with the
hometown of each player. If we go
way back, college sports started as
clubs of students from one institution
challenged clubs of students from
another college or university. The
folks in Kentucky are quite proud
of their basketball traditions at UK
and Louisville, but not one starter
on either team hails from the Blue
Grass Commonwealth. Kansas also
had no in-state residents starting,
but one was from the Missouri
side of Kansas City. The Buckeyes
however, had one starter from
Columbus, Toledo, and Findlay. A
fourth starter was urged to travel a
few miles east from Fort Wayne,
Indiana, to play at Columbus. If we
went down, at least it was cheering
for our true local boys. If we
are searching for any positives
concerning the defeat of the Buckeye
basketball team, maybe the fact that
it was the basketball team and not
the football program going down
in front of a national audience is a
plus. Despite the substantial success
of Coach Thad Mattas basketball
program, the OSU alumni live and
suffer with the football program.
They have just paid a healthy fee
for the best football coach in the
country and close will not be good
enough for Urban Meyer.
Fort Recovery dropped a pair of
games to Crestview on Saturday as the
Knights recorded victories of 13-5 and
12-2.
Coldwater swept past Indian Lake
in a doubleheader as the Cavaliers won
by scores of 5-2 and 9-3. Celina split
two games with Greenville with the
Wave taking game one 7-6 before the
Bulldogs posted a 6-4 victory in the
second contest.
Marion Local also picked up a
doubleheader sweep as the Flyers
rolled past Bradford 16-5 and 22-5.
At Celina, Kyle Berry and Aric
Fickert combined to scatter four hits
as the host Bulldogs blanked Parkway
3-0. Jimmy Luebke picked up two
hits to pace the Celina offense, which
totaled five hits.
St. Henry had only five hits as the
Redskins dropped a 6-0 decision to St.
Marys.
Alex Stammen hit a RBI double in
the tenth inning to lift Coldwater past
Lima Shawnee 5-4. Drew Klosterman
and Matt Selhorst each had two hits for
the Cavalier offense.
Marion Local rolled to a 10-0
win over New Bremen got two hits
each from Kyle Mescher and Craig
Niekamp while Niekamp also posted
five RBIs.
Fort Recoverys Elijah Kahlig and
Shawnee Pottkotter allowed only one
hit as the Indians posted an 8-0 victory
over Mississinawa Valley. Kent Retz
and Jacob Muhlenkamp posted two
hits each for the purple and white.
