Elida Village Council welcomes new members; taps Flick president
BY CYNTHIA YAHNA Herald Correspondent news@delphosherald.com ELIDA Village Solicitor Austin Klaus officiated the swearing in of the new Elida Village Council members for their term beginning Jan. 1, through Dec. 31, 2017, at the first meeting of the year on Tuesday. Those taking the oath of office were: Claude Paxton, Chris McNamara and Rhonda McCoy. Former Council President Kim Hardy, the new mayor of Elida as of Thursday, welcomed the council members to their new positions. Council also voted Larry Flick as its new president. Hardy takes the place of longtime Mayor Ron Klopfenstein, who passed away in December. Chris McNamara reported she received a complaint about snow plowing on the cul-de-sac at Morning Glory Drive. Apparently it has not been plowed properly, McNamara said, I personally have no real complaints. I believe the village does way better than any other parts of the city. You can tell we are the best one. Flick spoke on residents concerns about placing a stop sign at the intersection of Baxter and North streets. They are worried about the hazards of people crossing there, he added. According to Village Administrator Scott Fessler, the intersection does not meet the criteria set forth by ODOT for a four-way stop sign. Fessler spoke about annexation of 2651 Baty Road and that American Township officials are looking over the possibilities with the owners Mr. and Mrs. Crites. The trustees want to make some changes to the annexation, so at this time we need to postpone voting until we get the changes in writing, he said. Council approved a resolution to amend the setting of salaries to be paid for elected officials on a monthly basis versus quarterly. They also approved the action to notify The Delphos Herald and The Lima News of the village meetings. Hardy reported on the state of the village for 2013: The year 2013 benefited the residents of the village in many ways. New hires were Matt Dunahay, who is a parttime employee for mowing and different needs of the village. We also have a new police chief. Dale Metzger was chosen out of the numerous resumes the village received. Chief Metzger began his duties in December. Metzger has many years of experience and was chosen by being the best fit for the village needs. We look forward to his knowledge that will benefit the residents. See ELIDA, page 12

Thinkgates software connects educators with information through integrated performancemanagement tools, giving teachers and administrators better information when and where they need it most through an app-like interface, or dashboard, which does not require a lot of training. The next meeting will be held in the school library at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 19. The public is welcome to attend.

Get physical
Many people do not get enough exercise. Children sit in schools, many adults sit at desks or behind counters, and people of all ages play video games, watch television and spend hours sending texts or email. If you do not exercise a lot, even a little physical activity can improve your health. And if you are starting a tness program, it is important to start slowly and build up strength and endurance. Different physical activities require different skills. Like all people learning exercise techniques, athletes need to learn specic skills and combinations of skills. For instance, a skateboarder needs one set of physical skills, a dancer other skills, a basketball player still others. In the movie The Karate Kid, the karate teacher, Mr. Miyagi, begins his training of the boy Daniel by asking him to wax his car, sand his deck, paint his fence and paint his house. After days of this grueling x-it work, Daniel complains that he isnt any better at karate than he was before he became Mr. Miyagis free handy-man. Then the master shows his student that the ways in which he was waxing the car, sanding the deck, painting the fence and painting the house were actually strengthening and training his muscles. Recognizing and building different skills can improve understanding of physical tness and lead to healthy exercise. What physical skills can you develop in winter time?

Landmark

Family totaling 21 enjoys New Years Eve gathering

BY LOVINA EICHER Happy New Year to all you wonderful readers. I hope 2014 will be a great year for everyone! Here in Michigan, 2014 is bringing us frigid temperatures and lots of snow. Around eight inches of new snow was dumped on us New Years Day. It made for some very pretty scenery. This morning, our mercury on the thermometer dipped way down to minus 14 degrees. It only warmed up to 13 degrees all day. On New Years Eve, my husband Joe, our eight children and I, Timothy, Mose and my sisters Verena and Susan all went to sister Emma and Jacobs house for the evening. We all stayed the night there so their house seemed pretty lively with 21 people there. The children were excited to be able to stay up playing games until midnight and shout Happy New Year to the dark world outside. Four air mattresses were blown up to help make enough beds for everyone. The next day, we had a brunch, which was a haystack breakfast. The haystack menu was biscuits (cut up in bite sized pieces), scrambled eggs, hash browns, tater tots, bacon (crumbled), ham (diced), onions (chopped), tomatoes (chopped), green peppers (chopped), hot peppers, salsa and cheese sauce topped with sausage gravy. To make a breakfast haystack, everyone takes whatever they like and stacks it on top of each other in a pile on their plate. Haystack is one of my favorite breakfasts. Along with haystack, there were all kinds of desserts such as chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal whoopie pies, peanut butter and cherry pies, butterscotch muffins and a variety of Christmas candy. Also coffee, tea, orange juice, grape juice and milk were served. We had exchanged names for the gift exchange earlier in December. After brunch, we all exchanged gifts, which was exciting to see who had our name. I had sister Susans name and sister Verena had my name. The rest of the day was spent playing games, singing and visiting. Everyone had snacks before leaving for home. It was a short, enjoyable day. Our parents always had the family together for Christmas on New Years Day. Everyone would gather early in the morning to have breakfast together. Dad and

Mom would have wrapped gifts for everyone. Such an excitement for all the grandchildren. Now us siblings take turns having the family every year although most do not take it around Christmas anymore so that takes a lot of the fun away. Usually the gathering is held around springtime. It is brother Alberts turn for the 2013 Christmas gathering but havent heard of any plans so it is probably this summer sometime. It is nice for the four of us siblings that live here in Michigan to at least get together in memory of our dear parents on New Years Day. A blessed 2014 to all.

Lady Green notches PCL win over Rockets

By BOB WEBER DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com OTTOVILLE Tuesday night, the Lady Rockets of Pandora-Gilboa traveled to Ottoville to take on the Lady Green in their annual Putnam County League matchup. The Lady Green trailed nearly the entire contest but was able to rally in the last five minutes of the game to come away with a 27-26 win. The game started with the Lady Rockets using their experience (starting five seniors) compared to the Lady Green (starting one senior, two juniors and two freshmen) to take an early lead in the first quarter before the Lady Green narrowed the Rockets lead to 9-7 after the first stanza. The first half was a turnover-fest. Both teams could not buy a bucket and time after time either threw the ball away or had it stolen by their opponents. The Lady Rockets were led in the first half by senior Megan Maag with eight of her teams 15 first-half points. The Lady Green countered with their senior, Taylor Mangas, who chipped in six of her teams 14 first-half points. At the halftime break, the Lady Rockets went to the locker room with a 15-14 lead. As the second half began, both coaches could see that this night was going to continue to be a rough one. Turnovers continued to rule the play of the game and when either team was able to muster a shot on goal it struggled to find the bottom of the net. The third quarter found the Lady Rockets able to extend their lead to three, 24-21, over the home squad. Along with Megan Maag, fellow seniors Vanessa McCullough and Olivia Maag led the visitors with a total of nine points in the quarter compared to seven by the Lady Green. Going into the fourth quarter, two distinct coaching philosophies were played out on the court. Lady Rockets Head Coach Jessica Liedtke stayed with her five seniors and didnt substitute bench players throughout the second half. Contrary, Lady Green Head Coach Dave Kleman substituted freely, especially in the final quarter, to try to keep fresh legs and the defensive pressure on the Rockets. The Lady Green, in the final five minutes, was able to take the lead behind the scoring of two of their youngest players on the team. Freshmen Alicia Honigford and Brooke Mangas combined for all six of the Lady Green points to lead the comeback win over the Lady Rockets 27-26. With the win, the Lady Green go to 6-5 on the year and 3-1 in the Putnam County League. The Lady Green will be right back in action with another Putnam County League game at home against the Kalida Lady Wildcats Thursday night at 6 oclock. The Lady Rockets (7-5, 2-2 PCL) will be back in action Thursday night also with a varsity-only contest against McComb starting at 6 oclock. In the junior varsity contest, the Lady Green notched the win by a score of 55-29.

New Bremen handled our pressure pretty well but as we altered our defenses we played three or four until we found one that worked, a triangle-and-2 we did better at forcing mistakes. Delphos finished shooting 14-of-41 from the field, 2-of-14 long range, for 34.1 percent; with 27 boards (8 offensive); 15 turnovers; and 13 fouls.

St. Johns pushed the lead back to 29-20 after free throws made by three different Blue Jays (Evan Hays, Eric Clark and Andy Grothouse). The game turned when Kyle Schroer attempted a shot over the 6-5 Tyler Conley and was stuffed, then a mystery whistle sounded and play stopped except for Elijah Kahlig, who alertly picked up the blocked shot and nailed the 3-pointer. After a Grothouse free throw, Fort Recovery got within one with treys from Backs and Darien Sheffer. Conley found Grothouse under the bucket for an easy layin and the lead was 32-29. The Indians got their first lead of the game when Kahlig hit a pull up and Backs hit a triple for the 2-point margin with 2:10 left in the third. The Blue Jays took the lead back with an offensive rebound tapped out by Alex Odenweller to Hays and back to Grothouse for the bucket. Fort Recovery scored the last four points of the third on buckets by Kahlig and Backs for a 38-35 lead heading into the final period. Ryan Koester tied the game with a three from the corner after neither team scored for almost two minutes to open the final stanza. Fort Recovery began to attack the basket with a layup by Sheffer. The Indians got fouled enough by the Jays to be in the bonus with 4:55 to play. Luckily enough for the locals, Fort Recovery shot poorly from the charity stripe, making only six out of 13 for the night. But these few made freebies gave the Indians a 44-38 lead. The Blue Jays battled back with a banker from Grothouse and a triple from Koester and suddenly it was a 1-point game. When the pressure was on, Sheffer converted three out of four free throw attempts for a 4-point lead. Grothouse hit a pair from the charity line to cut the lead to two with 2:11 remaining. Conley was also cool under pressure when he made his pair of free throws to tie the contest at 47 with only 1:15 left. See JAYS, page 8

Optimism after hearing over NFL salary cap fight

By R.B. FALLSTROM Associated Press ST. LOUIS Attorneys for the NFL and the players union went before a federal appeals court Tuesday, arguing over whether to reopen the socalled Reggie White case that helped set league labor policy for years amid allegations that team owners set a secret salary cap. Both sides had 20 minutes in oral arguments before the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and both sides left the proceedings feeling optimistic. The word collusion was uttered exactly once. The hearing was held in the same courtroom where in June 2011 dozen of players showed up in force to urge the appeals court to declare the lockout illegal. The courtroom was packed with about 200 people, so many that folding chairs were brought in to seat some out-of-work and retired

players. This time around, the setting was decidedly low-key. There were no famous faces among the 20 or so attendees, counting at least a half-dozen lawyers for both sides and attorneys awaiting cases later on the morning docket, and no media throng waiting beyond the steps of the Thomas F. Eagleton Courthouse. I think it went well, NFL attorney Gregg Levy said. The court was well-prepared. The NFLPA is appealing a ruling by U.S. District Judge David Doty in Minneapolis rejecting the unions attempt to reopen the lawsuit that guided labor matters from 1993 until a collective bargaining agreement was reached in 2011. Among other reasons, union attorney Jeffrey Kessler said, the case should be revisited because the agreement did not cover retired players and others not in the union. See NFL, page 8

Judges decision means NFL may have to pay more

By RICK FREEMAN Associated Press NEW YORK The NFLs concussion settlement popped back into the national consciousness Tuesday and its no closer to being resolved just as the league was set for a big couple of weeks. On the cusp of a championship weekend with two appealing matchups ahead of the first Super Bowl in the New York area, the NFL is facing the possibility that it will have to pay more money to reach a settlement on the concussion issue. The leagues deal with former players hit a snag when a federal judge asked both parties to back up their assertions that the settlement is fair to both sides. Based on the 12-page ruling issued by Judge Anita B. Brody Tuesday, the NFL may have to pay out more money. Brody denied a motion that was meant to serve as a preliminary approval for the settlement, seeking more information. She wrote that she was primarily concerned that not all retired NFL football players who ultimately receive a qualifying diagnosis or their (families) will be paid, and that the lawyers for both parties have not addressed those concerns. Meanwhile, former players looking to receive assistance for the injuries they suffered while playing in the league will have to wait longer to be compensated. The two sides agreed in late August, just before the season kicked off and the issue largely went to the back burner, awaiting Brodys decision. The weekly accounting of brain injuries on the field, despite efforts to reduce them, did still make headlines. Both sides said they would try to assure the judge the money will last. Also, they can modify the deal in other ways to assuage her concerns, too. We are confident that the settlement is fair and adequate and look forward to demonstrating that to the court, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said. Brody pointed out that the class of approximately 20,000 could overwhelm the fund, even if only 10 percent of its members file claims against the $675 million set aside to pay claims, working out to $337,500 per player. The maximum payments in the settlement include $5 million for a younger retiree with Lou Gehrigs disease, $3 million for serious dementia, and $25,000 for an 80-year-old with early

Lions hire ex-Colts coach Jim Caldwell

By LARRY LAGE Associated Press DETROIT Jim Caldwell got a ringing endorsement from one of his mentors when Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew was doing his homework. The Lions hired Caldwell on Tuesday to replace fired coach Jim Schwartz, ending a search that included a phone conversation between Mayhew and Tony Dungy. Martin called me and said were looking for a leader who can help turn our locker room into a winning one and to help us get the most out of our investment in Matthew Stafford, Dungy recalled in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. I told Martin that Jim Caldwell is exactly what youre looking for. Hell lead by making people accountable and by being a role model on and off the field. And with his attention to detail and history of developing quarterbacks, Stafford is going to flourish just like Peyton Manning did with us in Indianapolis. Detroit wanted to replace Schwartz with someone with experience as a head coach, ideally with a track record of tutoring quarterbacks. Caldwell helped the Indianapolis Colts reach the Super Bowl after his debut season in 2009 but was fired two years later after a 2-14 season while Manning was injured, dropping his three-year mark to 26-22. Before Caldwell was hired by the Dungy-led Colts in 2002 to be their quarterbacks coach, he had the same job for Dungy with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Caldwell was hired by Baltimore two years ago to be their quarterbacks coach and was promoted to offensive coordinator late in the 2012 season. The Ravens went on to win the last Super Bowl. See CALDWELL, page 8

dementia. The rest of the $765 million represents neurological testing and education. Lawyers will be paid on top of that by the NFL, meaning the suit would cost the league $900 million or about 10 percent of one years annual revenues. Brody also took issue with another part of the original agreement, writing in a footnote that she was concerned that the agreement prevents participants from suing the NCAA and other amateur football organizations. At the time they reached the deal, the players lawyers said that they would have faced huge challenges just to get the case to trial. They would have to prove the injuries were linked to the players NFL service and should not be handled through league arbitration. On Tuesday, a statement from the players lawyers, Christopher Seeger and Sol Weiss, read We believe this is an extraordinary settlement for retired NFL players and their families and have received overwhelming support as they have learned about its benefits. We look forward to finalizing this agreement so they can soon begin taking advantage of its benefits.

Broncos Moreno has made most of second chance

Associated Press ENGLEWOOD, Colo. His return from offseason knee surgery still a few days away, Knowshon Moreno sauntered over to the sideline one hot August afternoon in training camp. In front of him were two young running backs having trouble picking up first downs and blitzes. Asked who he thought would win the featured role in the Denver Broncos backfield, Moreno nodded and flashed a sneaky smile, then spun back to the trainers room. Enough said. Neither Ronnie Hillman nor Montee Ball would pry the football from his grasp, something nobodys been able to do since Atlanta linebacker Stephen Nicholas stripped him on Sept. 17, 2012, which resulted in Morenos 2-month banishment to the scout team. That penance left Moreno determined if I ever do get that call again to let neither the opportunity nor the football slip through his grasp again. Willis McGahees injury gave Moreno that shot at redemption and hes lived up to that pledge ever since: in 479 touches since that fateful fumble against the Falcons, Moreno has gotten up with the football in his hands all 479 times. He plays this game in a way that I absolutely love because its every bit of who he is and he gives you every bit of what he has, Broncos running backs coach Eric Studesville said. Hes so amped up and hyped up before the game because hes so excited for it and then he plays with that intensity and that energy and that effort. Moreno holds nothing back, not even his tears, which were captured by TV cameras during the National Anthem when the Broncos visited Kansas City last month. Moreno said in those moments before kickoff, he reflects on all the good and the bad things that have happened in his life and in football and how much he appreciates the opportunity to play the game. Thats when the tears flow. Ive always been that way, high school and in college, Moreno added. I guess its just my thing, you know? I play with my emotions on my sleeve. Moreno has had his share of ups and downs in the NFL. After replacing McGahee in 2012, he ran for 510 yards and three TDs in the final six games but blew out a knee early in Denvers playoff game against Baltimore. Without him, the Broncos were unable to run out the clock in the fourth quarter behind an undersized Hillman, which led to their loss to the Ravens in double-overtime. That prompted the Broncos to draft Ball, the bruising 215-pound Badger who scored an NCAA-record 83 touchdowns at Wisconsin, and Hillman bulked up to 195 pounds in the offseason. While Moreno continued his rehab from his knee injury, Ball and Hillman battled for the No. 1 job but both made too many mistakes to earn the trust of the coaches or Peyton Manning. And while all eyes were on them, Moreno the Broncos biggest back at 220 pounds quietly got healthy and brought fresh legs and experience to the equation. This season he became the first running back in team history to top 1,000 yards rushing and 500 receiving and he scored a careerhigh 13 TDs. Morenos proficiency at catching the ball out of the backfield proved the best antidote for all the beatings Manning was taking at midseason, when opponents quit defending Denvers record-setting offense with zones in favor of more man coverage, which freed up another pass-rusher to go after the quarterback. Moreno is not only the Broncos best running back at picking up the blitz but his sure hands keep linebackers busy in coverage or freeze them on play-action, which makes the Broncos, who scored an NFLrecord 606 points, all the more dangerous. He has just been a rock for us back there, said Manning, who praised Morenos uncanny ability to navigate through traffic while also challenging tacklers head on. Moreno has been a pleasant surprise to Manning, who knew what he had in targets Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, Wes Welker and Julius Thomas but spent the offseason wondering what he would have with him in the backfield. You never know coming off an injury, especially that running back position, Manning added. Hes been a huge part of our offense this year. Morenos biggest game came at New England in November, when he rushed for 244 yards on 37 carries in a game the Broncos lost 34-31 in overtime. The rematch is Sunday when the Broncos (14-3) host the Patriots (13-4) in the AFC championship with the winner heading for the Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium, about an hours drive from Middletown, N.J., where Moreno grew up. Its one more opportunity hes determined not to let slip away. Patriots secondary set for rematch with Manning FOXBOROUGH, Mass. The Denver Broncos tried to beat the New England Patriots less than two months ago by running the ball. It didnt work. With a Super Bowl berth at stake in Sundays rematch, Peyton Manning figures to have a better day. Well have to be on top of our game, Patriots safety Steve Gregory said. Their pass defense has been pretty close to that lately. The Patriots intercepted Andrew Luck four times Saturday night in their 43-22 divisional-round win over the Indianapolis Colts. And in their next to last regular-season game, they picked off Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco three times in a 41-7 rout at Baltimore. Theyre traveling again this week, to Denver for the AFC championship game, with a deep, experienced secondary. And though Flacco and Luck are impressive quarterbacks, Manning appears to be on a different level regardless of how he did last time out vs. New England. What you are always trying to strive for is consistency, Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia said Tuesday, certainly in a position like the defensive backs where there is a lot of communication. In their first meeting with the Broncos, the Patriots won 34-31 in overtime after trailing 24-0 at halftime. Manning had season lows of 19 completions, 150 yards passing, a 52.8 completion percentage and a 70.2 passer rating. With the wind whipping, and the running game rolling behind Knowshon Morenos 224 yards, Manning threw 36 passes, five below his average. His longest completion gained 17 yards, although tight end Julius Thomas sat out with a knee injury.

Linebackers lead way for 49ers into NFC title game

Associated Press SANTA CLARA, Calif. From the pick six that closed Candlestick to a pair of goal-line stands in Carolina, it seems like whenever San Francisco needs a big play from its defense one of the 49ers decorated linebackers steps up. With Pro Bowlers NaVorro Bowman, Patrick Willis and Ahmad Brooks playing alongside talented pass rusher Aldon Smith on coordinator Vic Fangios defense, the Niners version of the fearsome foursome has played a major part in their advancement to the NFC title game on Sunday night in Seattle. Bowman, Willis, Brooks and Smith have combined for seven sacks, one forced fumble and an interception in road playoff wins in Green Bay and Carolina that set up the showdown with the Seahawks with a spot in the Super Bowl on the line. We just try to stay together and lead this defense, Bowman said. We all can do special things that a lot of guys cant do in this league. Vics just done a great job drawing up the right plays and what he wants us to do out there. Were blessed to have all four of us on the same page. What makes this unit so effective is how well they work together. Smith and Brooks are elite pass rushers, able to chase down quarterbacks with their speed and overpower blockers with their strength. Willis and Bowman are the do-everything inside backers, who plug holes against the run, blitz when needed and chase running backs and tight ends in coverage. While Willis came into the year as the most decorated of the bunch as a 5-time All-Pro and Smith the most feared with 33 sacks his first two seasons, it is Bowman who has led the group this season when the Niners needed it most. Smith missed five games to receive substance abuse treatment and Willis showed a few signs of slowing down, turning Bowman into the on-field leader of the group. He was named first-team All-Pro for the third straight season and has been mentioned as a candidate for Defensive Player of the Year after recording a career-high five sacks, two interceptions, five forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. That earned him the ultimate praise from Willis. I said, Man, youre having the kind of year that linebackers want to have. I know youre most certainly having the kind of year that I would love to have, Willis said. Hes my brother. Im always going to be his biggest fan. Hes my teammate. Im just glad to see him do well. When one of us does well, we all do well. Thats how we think as a team. The crowning moment of Bowmans year came in the regular-season home finale against Atlanta. With the 49ers in danger of losing the final scheduled game at Candlestick Park and having their playoff status put in doubt, Bowman delivered one of the most impressive plays of the season. It started with him blitzing up the middle against Matt Ryan. But after getting the center to commit, Bowman retreated and was in perfect position when Tramaine Brock broke up a slant pass to Harry Douglas. Bowman grabbed the ball out of the air and ran 89 yards for the touchdown that sealed the 34-24 victory and clinched the playoffs for the Niners. He just comes up big all the time, defensive lineman Ray McDonald said. Its paying off for him because hes a hardworking guy, hes always on top of his game. Bowman was at it again in Sundays 23-10 win over Carolina, fighting off two blockers before tackling Cam Newton at the 1 late in the second quarter. After a sack by Brooks and another goal-line stop by Bowman, the Panthers had to settle for a field goal. San Francisco drove for the go-ahead score in the closing seconds of the half and never trailed again. That was the second impressive goal-line stand as Brooks stopped Newton on fourth down from the 1 earlier in the second quarter. Back-to-back sacks by Bowman and Brooks knocked the Panthers out of field goal range in the closing minutes of the third quarter in what proved to be their last chance to stay in the game. Throw in an interception earlier in the game by Willis that set up a field goal, and it was a dominating day.

5 things to know about Alex Rodriguezs lawsuit

Associated Press NEW YORK Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez sued Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association in an effort to overturn the season-long drug suspension imposed last weekend by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz. Here are five things to know about the complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan: WHAT IS RODRIGUEZ CLAIMING? His lawsuit accused the Major League Baseball Players Association of bad faith, said its representation during the hearing was perfunctory at best and accused it of failing to attack a civil suit filed by MLB in Florida state court as part of its Biogenesis investigation. His lawyers criticized Michael Weiner, the union head who died from a brain tumor in November, for saying last summer he recommended Rodriguez settle for a lesser penalty if MLB were to offer an acceptable length. The suit claimed Major League Baseball engaged in ethically challenged behavior and was the source of media leaks in violation of baseballs confidentiality rules. It said Horowitz acted with evident partiality and refused to entertain evidence that was pertinent and material. And it faulted Horowitz for denying Rodriguezs request to have a different arbitrator hear the case, for not ordering baseball Commissioner Bud Selig to testify and for allowing Biogenesis of America founder Anthony Bosch to claim Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination in refusing to answer questions during cross-examination. WHAT WAS THE REACTION? Former major league All-Star Tony Clark, who took over from Weiner as the union head, issued a statement saying it is unfortunate that Alex Rodriguez has chosen to sue the players association. His claim is completely without merit, and we will aggressively defend ourselves and our members from these baseless charges. The players association has vigorously defended Mr. Rodriguezs rights throughout the Biogenesis investigation, and indeed throughout his career. Mr. Rodriguezs allegation that the association has failed to fairly represent him is outrageous, and his gratuitous attacks on our former executive director, Michael Weiner, are inexcusable. When all is said and done, I am confident the players association will prevail. WHAT DID THE ARBITRATOR FIND? Horowitz, in a decision made public as part of the lawsuit, concluded Rodriguez used testosterone, human growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 in 2010, 2011 and 2012 in violation of baseballs Joint Drug Agreement. He wrote MLB was justified in citing violations of the collective bargaining agreement because Rodriguez played an active role in inducing Biogenesis of America founder Anthony Bosch to issue his own public denial on Jan. 29 and attempted to induce Bosch to sign a sworn statement on May 31 saying he never supplied the player. Still, Horowitz cut the suspension from 211 games to 162 plus the 2014 postseason. WHATS NEXT? MLB and the union will file answers, and Rodriguezs lawyers may ask for a preliminary injunction to block enforcement of the suspension, which starts with the Yankees season opener on March 31. Rodriguezs lawyers may attempt to depose Selig and others, but MLB could ask U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos to quash any subpoenas. Its not clear

Clark seeks dismissal of Pujols suit

By JIM SALTER Associated Press ST. LOUIS Jack Clarks comments implying that Albert Pujols used steroids were too vague to do any real harm and a court should dismiss the lawsuit pitting the two former St. Louis Cardinals stars against each other, Clarks attorney said Tuesday. A motion filed Monday on behalf of Clark seeks dismissal of the defamation lawsuit filed by Pujols in October. The suit followed comments Clark made on his St. Louis radio show, The King and the Ripper Show, in August. Among other things, Clark said he knew for a fact that Pujols was a juicer. Pujols has vehemently denied using performance-enhancing drugs. Clark and his WGNU-AM show co-host Kevin Slaten were fired within days of the comments and the stations owner broadcast a lengthy apology and posted similarly contrite statements on its website. The lawsuit names Clark but does not name the radio station or Slaten. Clarks attorney, Albert Watkins, said Clarks on-air comments were too vague to cause real harm to Pujols. You call someone a juicer, in fact, there are multiple definitions of juicer, Watkins said. It could mean illegal performance enhancing drugs, legal performance enhancing drugs. Simply saying that my client asserted that Mr. Pujols was a juicer, under the law that governs defamation actions, is not enough, Watkins said. Pujols attorney, Martin Singer of Los Angeles, did not return a phone message seeking comment. The lawsuit seeks unspecified dam-

whether the legal process will take weeks or months. Supreme Court decisions have set narrow grounds for judges to vacate arbitration decisions, instances such as corruption or not following the rules agreed to by the parties. WHAT IS THE JUDGES BACKGROUND? Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, in 1960, Ramos is a graduate of Yale and Harvard Law School. He was an assistant U.S. attorney in Brooklyn from 199202, between stints as an associate at Simpson Thatcher & Bartlett, and a partner at Day Pitney, where he was a member of the white-collar and internal investigations practice group. At the U.S. Attorneys Office, he became deputy chief of the narcotics section. In 2009, he was the court-appointed defense lawyer for Oussama Kassir, a Lebanese-born Swede convicted of 12 charges of plotting to help al-Qaida recruit and then sentenced to life in prison. Ramos served for eight years as commissioner of the New York City Commission to Combat Police Corruption following his appointment by former Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The judge was nominated for the bench by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate in December 2011.

Spartans turn over Lady Dawgs

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com LIMA Lima Seniors full-court pressure defense was a nuisance to the depleted Elida Lady Bulldogs Monday night, forcing 34 turnovers on their way to a 75-50 non-league girls hardwood triumph at Spartan Gymnasium. The Lady Spartans (10-2) received a terrific all-around game by senior Indiya Benjamin 18 markers, 10 steals, six assists and three boards along with 18 counters from Essence Cowan (5 steals, 5 boards) on 5 treys and 10 by Imari Haynes (5 blocks, 4 steals). Elida down senior lead guard Kylie Downton and junior Sabrina Kline received 12 markers from sophomore Bailee Kuhn off the bench and 11 by junior Abby Waddle. Still, Elida co-coaches Chrissy Billiter and Elise Jenkins didnt use that as an excuse. We have six seniors and three juniors who have experience and were at the point in the season where we have to see who wants to play. It doesnt matter who starts or who comes off the bench or who we have; we just need to play basketball, Billiter said. Elida scored first at 7:11 on a basket by senior Torie McAdams but Benjamin hit a 3-point play off a steal at 6:35 to take the lead. The Lady Bulldogs took their last lead on a deuce by Waddle but Cowan hit a free throw and Benjamin a deuce to give the Lady Spartans the lead for good at the 5-minute mark. By the time senior Cassidy Slusher scored for Elida next at 2:00, the Spartan edge was 12-6. Seniors 1-2-1-1 diamond press and pressure man defense forced 13 Bulldog miscues in the first period but thanks to 7-of-22 shooting, they could only build an 18-8 lead at the 40-second mark on a steal and layin by Thompson before two singles by McAdams at 13.3 seconds made it 18-10. Benjamin had nine counters and five steals in the first stanza. The turnovers continued into the second stanza for Elida, though it was only nine this time around. However, thanks to 8-of-24 shooting from the field by the Spartans, they couldnt take advantage. Elida was within 26-21 on a 3-ball from the key by Waddle at 1:50 before Lima Senior had a killer spurt 11-2, keyed by four markers from Thompson, to take a 37-23 advantage on a buzzer-beating, high-bouncing Benjamin triple from the key. Lima Senior continued its harassing full-court pressure into the third stanza forcing 10 more mistakes but this time, they took better advantage as they canned 11-of-22, including 4-of-6 trifectas. With Elida focused on trying to stop Benjamin and Thompson who had her nose bloodied at 3:41) Cowan caught fire, nailing all four bombs en route to 14 markers in the stanza. Seniors biggest lead was 62-26 on a transition layin by Haynes at 1:34 before Elida got a basket by Waddle (1:09) and a 3-ball by senior Lauren Nolan (48 seconds) around a Cowan bomb to get within 65-31. With Senior pulling off the press and starting to sub, as did Elida, the Bulldogs outscored the hosts 20-10 with Kuhn dropping seven to finish off the contest. Its more mental right now than physical. We were within five points late in the second quarter but we didnt find their big scorers and Benjamin hits a big three to end the half, Jenkins added. In the third period, you could just see us lose our confidence and were repeating the things we struggled with last year; we started to play scared. We cant rebuild the girls confidence during a game once they lose it; we have to do it in practice. Elida shot 19-of-51 fielders (3-of13 long range) for 37.3 percent and 9-of-16 at the line (56.3%); stacking up 46 boards (15 offensive) as McAdams had eight, Waddle seven and Kuhn and Carly Stetler six each; and 13 fouls. Thats how we ant to play; we want to press the crap out of our opponents. The only thing we didnt do well the first half was convert, Spartan coach Vince Halliday explained. The second half, we simply started to make shots. Essence hit a couple of threes and that opens things up for others; we need her to do that with teams focused on Indiya and Rion. Lima Senior totaled 30-of-85 shots 7-of-22 3-pointers for 35.3 percent and 8-of-15 free shots (53.3%); 48 caroms, 24 offensive, as Shaquayla Johnson nabbed 11 and Miea Ward seven; 17 errors; and 13 fouls. In junior varsity action, Lima Senior edged Elida 45-43. Xavier Houston led the Lady Spartans with 11 and Asia Wilson and Keyamari Cornelius-Fuqua with 10. Hope Carter and Mallory Etzler led the Lady Dawgs with 11 each. Both return to action Thursday: Elida hosting Van Wert in the WBL and Lima Senior welcoming in unbeaten Notre Dame Academy in the TRAC.

Kershaw, Price, Scherzer among 146 in arbitration

NFL

NEW YORK (AP) Cy Young Award winners Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Max Scherzer of the Detroit Tigers headed 146 players who filed for salary arbitration. Tampa Bay pitcher David Price, Pittsburgh third baseman Pedro Alvarez, Cincinnati pitcher Aroldis Chapman, Arizona outfielder Mark Trumbo, Baltimore catcher Matt Wieters and Washington pitcher Jordan Zimmermann also were among those who filed Tuesday. Players are set to swap proposed salaries with their clubs Friday and hearings will be scheduled for next month in St. Petersburg, Fla. Of the 133 players who filed last year, none went to hearings the first time since the process began in 1974 that every case settled. After peaking at 35 hearings in 1986, the number of cases argued hasnt reached double digits since 2001. Players in arbitration averaged a 119 percent increase last year, according to a study by The Associated Press.

Caldwell

(Continued from page 6)

(Continued from page 6)

The Lions will introduce Caldwell as their coach Wednesday during a news conference at Ford Field. We believe Jim is the right man to lead our team and deliver a championship to our fans, Lions owner William Clay Ford said in a statement. The Ravens struggled on offense in 2013 and mightve replaced Caldwell if he didnt get another job. Baltimore ranked 29th on offense overall 30th rushing and 18th passing last season with Super Bowl-winning quarterback Joe Flacco and running back Ray Rice. Still, Caldwells body of work was enough to also make him a candidate to lead the Washington Redskins and Titans. Former Tennessee coach Mike Munchak and ex-Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak were also considered by the Lions. Im excited because he has worked with some good coaches and he did a good job with the Colts, Lions offensive guard Rob Sims said in a telephone interview. Players seem to like him, so Im looking forward to being a part of the next chapter of Detroit Lions football with him leading us. Caldwell won his first 14 games with the Colts in 2009 before losing the final two games of the regular season while resting Manning and most of the other starters. The Colts lost to the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl. Indy was 10-6 the following season and won another AFC South title, then lost to the New York Jets in a wild-card game. With Manning

Jays

out for all of Caldwells third season, the Colts lost 14 games and Caldwell lost his job. In Baltimore, Caldwell replaced offensive coordinator Cam Cameron toward the end of the 2012 regular season and he seemed to give the offense a boost as it went on to win the Super Bowl against San Francisco. Helping the Lions win one playoff game would be a relative feat: Detroit has only one playoff victory more than two decades ago since winning the 1957 NFL title. Caldwell, who won two playoff games in his first season with the Colts, will be counted on to use his experience with quarterbacks to make Matthew Stafford better. Detroit drafted Stafford No. 1 overall in 2009 and after two injury-shortened seasons, he has been spectacular at times and shaky at others. When the Lions needed him most, he was at his worst last season. He had an NFL-high 14 turnovers from Week 11-16 as Detroit dropped five of six games, plummeting out of first place in the NFC North and wasting an opportunity to win a division title for the first time since 1993. Caldwells first job as a head coach was at Wake Forest, which fired him in 2000 with a 26-63 record over eight seasons. Caldwell, who is from Beloit, Wis., played defensive back for Iowa and began his coaching career in 1977 as a graduate assistant with the Hawkeyes. Caldwell later went on to coach quarterbacks, wide receivers and outside linebackers from 1982-84 for Bill McCartney at Colorado.

The lawsuit filed in May 2012 claimed the NFL imposed a secret salary cap during the uncapped 2010 season that cost players at least $1 billion. The league denied the allegation, although four teams were punished for overspending and undermining competitive balance, with Dallas and Washington hit with future-cap reductions. The case landed in appeals court after Doty rejected a claim of collusion in December 2012. Doty had previously sided with players during more than two decades of judging NFL labor matters. Kessler said players were offended at the insinuation of gamesmanship involved in the appeal and added the CBA has no relevance in the proceedings. Levy argued that there was no legal precedent for the appeal, calling it an extraordinary premise. He noted that all parties involved have prospered

since the agreement, reiterated the leagues position that the collusion claim was moot and said the lawsuit was beyond the statute of limitations. At one point during Levys argument, Riley said he thought the district court ruling was pretty thin. Levy replied: Its right on the money. A decision from the threejudge panel is expected in two or three months. Well get back to you in due course, Chief Judge William Riley of Omaha, Neb., told both parties. White filed a class-action lawsuit in 1993 seeking more open free agency and a salary cap. The resulting agreement was in place until 2008 when the NFL opted out, saying its costs were too high and that it needed givebacks from players. Before the lawsuit, the NFL had limited free agency known as Plan B, in which teams were allowed to protect 37 players and had the right to match offers for free agents or receive compensation. White died in 2006.

Fort Recovery worked the ball outside of the Jayss defense and called timeout with 20 seconds remaining to set up for the last shot. Kahlig responded for the Indians, hitting a jumper from the top of the key for the win. After the game, coach Aaron Elwer said that third quarter was tough, allowing them to score 22 points. But give our kids credit; they battled back in a tough environment and tied the score in the fourth. Kahlig made a big play at the buzzer when he needed to. The Blue Jays were led in scoring with Grothouses 18 points. Clark hit back-to-back 3-pointers in the second quarter and finished with 10 points. Koester and Conley chipped in eight apiece. For the game, the Jays made 11-of-14 free throws. The Indians were led by Kahlig with 18 points. Backs and Sheffer both added 10 points each.

Delphos Family Physicians Big bill should be paid out of savings receives mark of excellence
Information submitted DELPHOS Carl. S. Wehri, M.D., president, Delphos Family Physicians, Inc., is pleased to announce that his laboratory has met all criteria for Laboratory Accreditation by the Commission on Office Laboratory Accreditation and has received the Mark of Excellence by meeting or exceeding national benchmarks of quality in the COLA Accreditation Achievement Program. COLA is a national healthcare accreditation organization and is approved by the federal government. Accreditation is given only to laboratories that apply rigid standards of quality in day-to-day operations, demonstrate continued accuracy in the performance of proficiency testing and pass a rigorous on-site laboratory survey. Wehri has earned COLA accreditation as a result of a long-term commitment to provide quality laboratory services to his patients. Delphos Family Physicians, Inc., is also affiliated with the majority of insurance plans in the surrounding area. Wehri has also recently completed the requirements for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, is an approved medical examiner for DOT drivers and is listed on the national registry of certified medical examiners. DEAR BRUCE: I have a bill for $13,000 that needs to be paid as soon as possible. My question is, where should I take the money: from my CD 401(k), which has no penalty, or use my savings account, which has $15,000? -- R.S. Via Email DEAR R.S.: You mentioned that you have a 401(k) with a bank CD. How much can that be paying you? I wouldnt take the money out of the 401(k) because it is tax-protected, but I most certainly wouldnt leave it sitting in a CD. The market is the only place that I would recommend. As to your savings, pay the bill and keep the $2,000 in your account, then pay yourself back as quickly as you can. As you will come to find out, it goes in very slowly and comes out enormously fast. DEAR BRUCE: My husband and I are having a disagreement regarding Roth IRAs. Together we earn around $100,000. I was told that we should open a Roth IRA and my husband says we shouldnt. Can you tell me who is correct? -- Cynthia, via email DEAR CYNTHIA: You havent told me much about your and your husbands ages and individual incomes. But, by and large, a Roth has many advantages. Not the least of these is that you put money in a Roth with taxes having already been paid. From that point forward, until such time as you cash it in, there are no taxes and nothing on the interest that is earned. The younger you are, the smarter this is. There will be more time for your money to work hard for you without paying taxes on those returns. I am assuming that you will put the money in the Roth in a reasonably solid investment, one that should return somewhere between 7 percent and 8 percent a year. Thats a goal that is relatively easy to obtain in the market. DEAR BRUCE: I am 66 years old. My friends tell me to start opening up, to spend a little and enjoy it. My house has been remodeled and is ready to sell. Its valued at $170,000. My only debt is a home equity loan of $14,000. My investments and cash are $210,000. My Social Security is $1,760 a month; my pension is $1,557 and Im drawing $800 a month from investments. So I deposit $4,117 in my checking directly each month. My budget allowance (including taxes and insurance) is $3,104 monthly. I also have a part-time job that pays me $10,000 a year. Should I have a more freewheeling attitude about money? I have physicals twice a year, and feel only the loss of my great wife of 43 years. -- Steve, via email DEAR STEVE: I am with your friends. Go out and enjoy your life. Who are you saving it for? At 66 years old, you are a very young man. I am not suggesting you go out and spend more than what is

BUSINESS

Smart Money
coming in, but you have close to $1,000 a month plus the part-time job over and above your monthly expenses. By all means, take a cruise, get a hobby, do something that pleases you. You cant take it with you. DEAR BRUCE: Is it necessary to have a child as executor? We are 70 years old with three adult children. We asked our oldest son to be executor and have given him power of attorney, as well. We have an issue with one of the others. She is very upset about him being chosen, plus she does not get along with the other two. Our son says he doesnt want to do this, but will anyway. Would it be wise to have an attorney as executor? We would like to relieve the stress in our family over this issue and do not know which way to go. I can imagine that an attorney might say its OK, but is it prudent in your opinion? Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated. -- Alvin, via email DEAR ALVIN: The direct answer is you could have anyone you choose be your executor. The fact that your daughter doesnt get along with the other two siblings is lamentable, but thats the way life is. If your oldest son doesnt want to do it, dont force him. On the other side of that, it would be a lot cheaper if he did because he wont charge you. An attorney certainly will charge you to be the executor. I dont think you are going to relieve the stress in your family very much. Maybe the other son would be executor, but I dont see any reason to pay an attorney to try to avoid stress. Its going to be there no matter what. DEAR BRUCE: How much emergency money should I have in savings in case I get laid off or an unexpected bill comes in the mail? -- Y.P., via email DEAR Y.P.: There is no magic number. It used to be common to recommend having three months of after-tax income. Frankly, it isnt as necessary today as it once was. Rather than saving the money in cash and receiving very little income from it, you can invest that money and rely on credit cards for a month or two of income should an emergency happen. But when I say emergency, I mean a true emergency, not something you simply feel a need for. The credit cards should be used only when absolutely necessary.

Beanie Babies maker avoids prison

CHICAGO (AP) The billionaire businessman behind Beanie Babies learned Tuesday that he wont go to prison for hiding at least $25 million from U.S. tax authorities, and the judge who gave him two years probation instead went to great lengths to praise his charitable giving. H. Ty Warner, one of the highest profile figures snared in a federal investigation of Americans using Swiss bank accounts to avoid U.S. taxes, issued a brief apology before he was sentenced in Chicago federal court. The toymaker, who pleaded guilty to a single count of tax evasion, said he felt shame and embarrassment for what he had done. Warner, 69, could have been sentenced to up to five years in prison, and a prosecutor Michelle Petersen asked U.S. District Judge Charles Kocoras to give Warner at least a year behind bars. Peterson detailed how Warner meticulously hid his income more than $100 million at one point by filing false tax returns for at least 11 years, and pointed out that another area businessman caught in the same dragnet, Peter Troost, got a year in prison from another judge in that courthouse for hiding far less $3 million.

Company in W.Va. oil spill under scrutiny

MITCH WEISS Associated Press CHARLESTON, W.Va. When state inspectors showed up unannounced at Freedom Industries to investigate a licorice odor wafting across West Virginias capital city, company executive Dennis Farrell seemed to brush off any cause for concern. But inspectors quickly found what was already contaminating the water for some 300,000 people: a chemical oozing from an above-ground tank and escaping through an old, cracked containment wall. A bag of absorbent material had been placed nearby and weighed down with a cinder block in a failed attempt to stop the flow. When they approached the tank, (Farrell) said they just discovered a leak, Jesse Adkins, the inspectors supervisor, said. The encounter between state officials and Freedom Industries provides a window into the little-known and lightly regulated firm whose spill of a coal-cleaning chemical contaminated the drinking water for West Virginias capital city. The consequences from the spill government investigations and lawsuits mark the biggest crisis that Freedom Industries has faced in its nearly 22-year history since one of its founders went to prison on tax charges. The U.S. attorney has pledged to determine who is responsible, and numerous businesses have sued because they

were forced to close and lost money until the water was safe again. A spokesman for Freedom declined to comment Tuesday. The companys president, Gary Southern, answered questions at a brief press conference Friday that ended shortly after he complained that he was tired. Farrell said Tuesday that he could not discuss the spill or the companys operations. Its not that we dont want to, Farrell said. Its that one, were a little busy, and two, were not ready. The terminal with the leak which hadnt been inspected by state officials since 2001, when it was owned by a different company operating under more stringent rules was bought by Freedom Industries last month, state officials said. It was previously owned by Etowah River Terminal LLC, which has long shared ties with top-ranking officials at Freedom. A 2001 corporate filing lists Farrell as the manager of Etowah. Etowah and Freedom officially merged at the end of December. Freedom Industries traces its start back to 1992, when Carl Kennedy II filed the incorporation papers. Kennedy and Farrell owned a 50-50 stake in the venture, according to a legal claim that Freedom Industries filed years later against Kennedy. During its early years, the company sold chemicals designed to prevent dust on dirt roads from becoming airborne. It averaged roughly $50,000 to $60,000 in annual revenue.

All you have to do is check out the diet books on best-seller lists to know that healthy eating can take many different forms. But even a perfectly nutritious plan wont improve your health if it costs too much, lacks flavor or is hard to follow because the meals take too long to prepare. Consumer Reports recently evaluated the pros and cons of five nutrition regimens. -- The Plan: DASH The promise: Fresh food with a limit on fat, sodium and sugar. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension plan -- better known as the DASH diet -- is so heart-healthy that you might expect it to be tasteless and even difficult to follow. But its not, and its OK to make changes gradually. The plan is heavy on vegetables, fruit, whole grains, low- or no-fat dairy and lean protein, and light on saturated fat, added sugars and salt and meets the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Pros: Studies have found that the DASH diet can lower blood pressure and decrease LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides, but not at the expense of satisfying your taste buds.

of eating as opposed to a structured diet, Consumer Reports notes that youre on your own to figure out exactly how youll shape your own Mediterranean menu, not to mention what youll do to stay active. -- The Plan: Paleo The promise: A meat-lovers dream come true. If cave people didnt eat it, then you shouldnt either. Thats the premise of the Paleo diet, although it has not been scientifically tested. The regimen gives a thumbs-up to lean meat, fish, seafood, fruit and nonstarchy vegetables, and a thumbs-down to cereal grains, legumes, dairy products and processed foods. Pros: The plan tends to be low in sodium and sugar, and the emphasis on fruit and vegetables makes it easy to meet goals for dietary fiber. Cons: It is difficult to meet the recommended intake of many nutrients, so Consumer Reports recommends proceeding on this food plan with caution. -- The Plan: Vegetarian The promise: Plant-based. Vegetarian has become a catchall for any eating plan that doesnt allow meat, chicken or seafood. A well-

Cons: Portion sizes need to be carefully monitored, and keeping to the daily sodium recommendation -- for some people less than 1,500 milligrams per day -- can be a challenge. -- The Plan: Mediterranean The promise: Wholesome meals with family, friends and wine. An easy way to know what is allowed on a Mediterranean-type meal plan is to ask whether your great-grandmother would recognize the food. If so, then chances are its on this plan: fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, healthy fats and fish and seafood. It also includes poultry, eggs, cheese and yogurt in moderation, and sweets and red meat no more than a few times a month. Pros: Studies have found that the Mediterranean diet can reduce the risk of certain cancers, Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Cons: Because its a way

planned vegetarian diet, however, has just as many health benefits as any other nutritionally sound plan. Pros: Research, including a study of 73,000 men and women published in JAMA Internal Medicine in June, suggests that following a vegetarian diet can help lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels and the risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. Cons: You might end up bulking up on starches, and menu options are limited when dining out. -- The Plan: Volumetrics The promise: The staples of this plan -- water-rich foods like broth soups, fruit, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, lean meat and fish -- not only help control hunger by filling you up but they also do it with fewer calories. Pros: This type of dietary pattern is associated with a decreased risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. Meals are filling and nothing is off-limits. Cons: Meal prep can be tedious for people who dont like to cook. DISTRIBUTED BY UNIVERSAL UCLICK FOR UFS

Recognizing risk factors can reduce chances for stroke

DEAR DOCTOR K: Im a woman in my 60s. A good friend recently had a serious stroke. Is there anything she could have done to prevent it? DEAR READER: Some strokes come out of the blue; they cant be predicted or prevented. Perhaps your friend suffered from such a stroke. However, most strokes occur in people who have risk factors for stroke, such as an unhealthy lifestyle or a medical condition that is not being adequately treated. Most strokes happen in people who could have done more to protect themselves against one, but didnt. To me, thats hard to understand. A stroke can be devastating. It can take away your ability to move, talk and understand the world around you. It can leave you utterly dependent on other people to help you with all the daily activities of living. What happens in a stroke? The blood supply to a part of the brain suddenly is lost. Unless that blood

supply is restored, a part of the brain dies. Without a regular supply of oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood, brain cells cannot remain alive. The most common cause of a stroke is a sudden blockage in an artery. Its called an ischemic (iss-KEEmic) stroke. A buildup of fat in the wall of a brain artery (a plaque of atherosclerosis) can cause a blockage. A clot traveling through blood can get wedged in the artery. Less often, a stroke occurs when an artery in the brain bursts, causing a hemorrhage. This, too, severely damages a part of the brain. There are many things people can -and should -- do to reduce their stroke risk:

-- Lower blood pressure. Maintain a blood pressure of less than 120/80 mm Hg. Reduce salt in your diet and eat more fruits and vegetables. Those dietary changes will help lower blood pressure. If needed, take blood pressure medicines. -- Lose weight. If youre overweight, losing as little as 10 pounds can have a real impact on your stroke risk. -- Exercise more. Exercise at a moderate intensity for at least 30 minutes, five days a week. This will reduce your risk of getting a stroke (and many other illnesses), even if you dont lose weight from regular exercise. -Drink in moderation. Moderate alcohol intake lowers the risk of stroke. Women can have one drink per day; men can have up to two. -- Take medicines your doctor has recommended for

heart and blood vessel conditions. For example, a daily baby aspirin or a blood thinner for atrial fibrillation, or sugarlowering medicines if you have diabetes. -- Quit smoking. Smoking accelerates clot formation. Use aids such as nicotine pills or patches, counseling or medicine to help you kick the habit. I dont know if your friend could have prevented her stroke, but I do know that most people whose lives are forever altered by a stroke could have done more to prevent it.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 2014 Stick to what you know, and avoid any sudden and inconsistent moves that could threaten your reputation. Conservative action and expertise will help you overcome opposition and accusations. Stand tall and proceed with confidence. Play the game of life to win. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Listen carefully, but dont allow your emotions to sway you in one direction or another. It would be better to mediate, rather than participate, in an unwinnable debate. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Show everyone how capable you are. A proposal will bring in extra cash and change the way you live. Dont let a secret affair cause emotional grief. Honesty is the best policy. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You can make your dreams come true with a little time and effort. Join organizations that share your interests and expertise. A special person should be treated to a romantic evening. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your changing or inconsistent attitude will cause disruptions with the people you deal with personally and professionally. Think twice before you make a sudden move. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Relax, and enjoy friends and family. Make personal changes that will keep you up to date mentally and physically. A pleasurable trip will entice you, but caution while traveling will be essential. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Set your goals high, and get ready for action. Consultation with experts will enable you to cut corners and reach your destination quickly. Mix business with pleasure. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -If you feel uncertain, step back and observe. The more information you gather, the easier it will be to make a tough choice. Refuse to get upset about matters you cannot change. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- An emotional matter will skyrocket if you dont control the situation. Prepare to make last-minute changes if it will help you avoid an unsavory entanglement. Focus on personal relationships. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Take steps to ensure that things go the way you plan. Dont leave anything to chance, and take steps to correct any situation that you feel has the potential to head in the wrong direction. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Too much, too fast leads to disaster. Watch what everyone else is doing and protect your interests. Empty promises can be expected. Get what you want in writing, or take a pass. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Let your mind wander and your imagination take over. Take a look at your friendships, lifestyle and home base. An unconventional arrangement will inspire you to be more adventuresome. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- An investment opportunity may look like a sure thing, but look before you leap. You arent likely to have all the facts required to make an educated choice. Dont take a risk. COPYRIGHT 2014 Feature Syndicate, Inc. United

I am so pleased to announce Wastewater Superintendent Nelson Bear is a completed License 2 holder as of December. This completes our requirements needed to run the wastewater plant. We are very pleased to have him on board as wastewater superintendent. Two lift and recirculation pumps were also installed at the wastewater treatment plant in 2013. The village did purchase a 2013 Sierra 2500 HD pickup for the Streets Deptartment. All paving projects were

completed in the streets department for 2013. The water department has, in-house, the third and final pump to be installed this year. The water meter project has approximately 50 meters left to install that are of the more difficult installation type. This means that 1,551 have been done. Jones and Henry engineers have entered into contract with the village for screen improvements at the wastewater plant. Jones and Henry will also be doing a 20-year facilities plan to coordinate the next 20 years at the wastewater plant. The fines and fees collected for

the year 2013 was $190. The heart of the village is based on the dedication, skill and work that all the men and women do on a daily basis for the residents of the village of Elida. I thank them for all their efforts and hard work in 2013 and look forward to another good year in 2014. To close, I must acknowledge the passing of our mayor, friend and good man in Ron Klopfenstein. We thank him for his many years of faithful service and dedication to the residents of our village. The next village council meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Jan. 28.
