Stories from very old newspapers

by HELEN KAVERMAN
A couple weeks ago I went on a genealogy road trip with two of my good friendsDonna Osting and Evie Martin. We spent several hours at the Putnam County Library in Ottawa. Both ladies are very good at digging up the family tree on the Internet. Im still learning of all the websites available. My daughter has Ancestry.com so I hope to do some searching on that. Evie has Ancestry.com and several other genealogy sites that you pay a fee to use. One of these is loaded with old newspaper articles. She found newspapers dating back to 1803. This site is: www.genealogybank.com/gbnk/newspapers/doc. From the Daily Ohio Statesman of 16 June 1851 she found a story Sufferings of an Emigrant about the family of Michel Ridenhour, one of the early families of Putnam County. It follows: In 1847, previous of the gold discovery in California, Michel Ridenhour, of Putnam County, in this State, took the Oregon fever, and, with his family, set out for that distant bourne across the plains. On the way over five of their children were carried off by the measles and whooping cough. The balance reached their destination, chastened with their great loss, which saddened their stay in the new country, and rendered them discontented. They sighed for their Ohio home, and, after four years absence, sought it. By way of the Isthmus they reached Louisville, and then another child was taken from them. At Dayton, almost the last drop of the bitter cup was drainedthe mother died! One more dark shadow was in their patharrived where they had started from, the seventh child followed the spirit of its mother!-Cin. Enq. Another story was from the Lowell Daily Citizen and News (Lowell, MA) of 30 April 1858. It is as follows: An elderly man named Recker, near Fort Jennings; Putnam County, Ohio was murdered last week by his wife, who is now in jail, having confessed the crime. The circumstances were horrible. It seems that Recker was affected with a disease of the eyes, which often made it painful for him to come in contact with the light, and that while in this situation, there having been some misunderstanding between him and his wife, she dealt him a blow on the head with an iron wedge. She then sprang upon him and continued to beat his head till life was extinct...After horribly mutilating him, it is reported, that afraid that he might still be alive, she poured over his person boiling water to ascertain if there was any sensation left. Another report says that the scalding water was used to wash off the blood, and remove traces of the cause of his death. The murder was not discovered until evening, when their son, a boy about sixteen or seventeen years of age, returned from fishing, when he was requested by mother to

At first the murderer claimed that he had fallen down stairs, and broke his neck, but Mr. Boehmer, after examination, becoming satisfied such was not the fact, dispatched a messenger for the Coroner, to whom Mrs. Recker acknowledged her guilt.

Guardians will fight for clean-up of Grand Lake St. Marys

Information submitted ST. MARYS The upcoming Memorial Day weekend, which signals the beginning of summer and its activities, will be met with some trepidation for those around Grand Lake St. Marys as people in the area wonder what this season has in store for the lake. The Guardians of Grand Lake St. Marys (GO-GLSM) announced its formation today to help fight for a clean Grand Lake St. Marys. With the lake being posted with health warnings since 2009, Governor Kasichs campaign promise to clean up the lake and stop the pollution has been a hollow one, and the GO-GLSM will work with all dedicated organizations to restore Grand Lake St. Marys to the outstanding tourist destination it once was, stated Kate Anderson, GO-GLSM president. Anderson further stated; We support the best intentions of the LIA, the LRC, as well as government officials when they are working hard to instill a spirit of cooperation among all members of the GLSM watershed, but so long as many of the provisions of the Federal Clean Water Act and state law are being violated, our mission is to insist through political activism that all our elected officials have the courage to take the steps necessary to clean up the lake in an expedient manner, including new laws for substantial penalties for any violators. Far too many citizens of Auglaize and Mercer counties are continuing to pay the price as they watch their property values decline. And there is evidence that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have reduced buying mortgages of lake-related properties. Last year, Grand Lake St. Marys was the only lake in Ohio posted with a health advisory for the entire year. Business owners in the area have seen their profits drop, resulting in job losses in the area. In 2007, Auglaize and Mercer counties received $137.5 million dollars through tourism. In 2012, the total tourism dollars were only $44.5 million. These small agricultural communities have lost two-thirds of their tourism dollars, which translates into a greater financial strain for these local governments who provide necessary public services. We are focusing on the government agencies that have the responsibility for keeping the lake, its tributaries and the watershed pollution free, Anderson continued, and there has been much misinformation out there regarding the clean-up of our great lake. We do applaud ODNR Director Jim Zehringer for acknowledging that phosphate runoff is a dominate factor in feeding the proliferating algae and we support his position that farmland field tiles may be adding to the problem. If the State of Ohio were to put a moratorium on excessive manure disposal in the Grand Lake St. Marys watershed and enforced it, Mother Nature, along with some already funded mechanical remedies, could help accelerate the lakes healing process. The fact that Grand Lake St. Marys watershed has been designated a distressed watershed and the lake has been labeled Ohios most degraded, serves as factual evidence that officials at the state level are aware the remedy includes significant phosphate reduction. The solution is political and Governor Kasich, the State of Ohio legislature and all politicians associated with the GLSM watershed, including the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives John Boehner and U.S. Representative Jim Jordan, need to know with certainty that a few abusive parties are hurting real people and it is time to put a stop to it. For those interested in helping GO-GLSM fight for a clean lake, contact Kate Anderson at goglsm@att.net
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nations service. There are many stories as to its actual beginnings, with more than two dozen cities and towns claiming to be the holidays birthplace. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on May 5, 1868, by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11, and was first observed on May 30, 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873. By 1890, it was recognized by all of the northern states. It is now celebrated in almost every state on the last Monday in May (passed by Congress with the National Holiday Act of 1971 - P.L. 90 - 363) to ensure a three-day weekend for federal holidays). Some southern states still set aside an additional day for honoring the Confederate war dead. No matter where it started and by whom, the premise has stayed the same. We set aside the day to remember those who died fighting for their country, their flag and your and my freedoms. Local services this year will be held at the Veterans Memorial Park on Monday. I have witnessed the seemingly endless parade of people who come to the park to work, relax and/or remember, or all three. There have been many times, while either driving by the park or when leaving and entering the Herald parking lot, I will see

People walking in the downtown area will detour through the parks walkways and stop to read names on the pavers or memorials before going on with their day. The park also serves as a daily reminder of what some have given for their country. It is also a reminder that many are still sacrificing and will continue to do so through their bravery and willingness to do what many of us cant or wont. We had the pleasure of accompanying volunteers to the local cemeteries Saturday and a sea of crisp new flags could be seen waving from hundreds of graves when they were done. I have a feeling that this years observance will be as well attended as any other here. Perhaps even more so. Editors note: For those of you attending the Memorial Day services at the Veterans Memorial Park, if you need to sit down during the service, please bring a lawn chair. In case of rain, the observance will be held in the Jefferson Middle School auditorium.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

DEAR EDITOR: To our citizens: Its summer time again and I would like to ask everyone to show some patience and give the city employees plenty of room when they encounter them doing maintenance in alleys, on streets or wherever they may be working. If you can avoid the areas they are working, it could help prevent an accident. Thank you for your support and help in this matter. The Mayor of Delphos Michael Gallmeier DEAR EDITOR: This letter is in response to Mr. Dan Litchfields letter which appeared in the May 18 edition of The Delphos Herald. In his letter, Mr. Litchfield highlighted how much his company Iberdrola (which is Spanish owned) has provided to the local economy. Yet he failed to mention the billions of dollars the wind energy industry has received from the American taxpayer in way of subsidies, cash grants, etc., over the past 20 years (http://www.usnews.com/opinion/ blogs/on-energy/2012/09/26/taxpayers-shouldnt-subsidize-wind-energy-they-dont-want-dontuse/) Mr. Litchfield, why does the wind energy industry continue to rely so heavily on the BILLIONS of American tax dollars? The Production Tax Credit was created in 1992 to help the wind industry become competitive. Yet it remains uncompetitive. The 2013 wind energy production tax credit will cost American Taxpayers $12.1 billion dollars (http://dailycaller. com/2013/04/23/obama-budget-would-permanently-extend-green-energy-handouts/). Keep in mind that the United States borrows 46 cents of every federal dollar spent (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/dec/7/government-borrows-46-cents-every-dollar-it-spends/). Most of this money is borrowed from countries like China. When is enough, enough? It amazes me that as a country we fail to provide proper care to our wounded military veterans, fix education and health care, etc., yet we have countless billions to give to foreign-owned wind energy companies. I promise you this, the notion that wind energy is a viable and efficient energy alternative will end once the American Subsidies end! Please dont believe me or Mr. Litchfield. Do your own research. Educate yourself. Mark A. Wilson Delphos
WASHINGTON Womens reproductive rights have enjoyed a half-century or so of well-defined proponents and opponents, but the recently flourishing fertility industry, from egg harvesting to surrogacy, has produced fresh and surprising alliances among former foes. Feminists, traditionalists, Catholics, evangelicals, ethicists and atheists alike have united to combat what many convincingly view as the exploitation and commodification of women, and the violation of human rights even as perfect babies and happy families are formed. Speaking of quagmires. Latest to the arena is Louisiana, where a pro-surrogacy bill creating a regulatory structure for surrogate parenting passed both legislative houses with few dissenting votes and now faces a possible veto by Gov. Bobby Jindal. A thumbs-down from Jindal would constitute an act of principled courage given widespread public support and lobbying efforts that have included the prominent display of two beautiful, surrogate-produced children born of the bills chief author, state Sen. Gary Smith. During his push for the bill, Smith brought his children to the statehouse and circulated photographs of the two. Whatever one may feel about Smiths happy family, feel being the operative term, one should also be aware that not all surrogacy stories are so pretty. There is a dark underbelly to the surrogacy industry and it is a business including a burgeoning industry that preys on vulnerable women, com-

Never mind repercussions for the children themselves, who may have as many as five parents, from the egg and sperm donors, to the woman who carries them to the couple or single parent who adopts them. It isnt necessary to demonize anyone here. It is only fair to assume that people who want a child this much are good people with the wherewithal to make dreams come true. The women who carry others babies to term may be acting out of a sense of service or altruism, but the financial incentive cant be ignored. Surrogacy brokers are wise to their marketplace and specifically target populations that are likely to be attracted to surrogacy. Almost half the surrogates in this country are military wives, according to Kathy Sloan, a National Organization for Women board member and surrogacy opponent. Though laws, where they exist, vary from state to state, advertising in military periodicals and elsewhere lists requirements that the woman must already be a mom and thus know the ropes, as well as be a proven breeder. She must be willing to stay in place until the baby is born and, of course, surrender rights to the child. Although the woman is paid between

$25,000 and $50,000 for her surrogacy, the language of most legislation speaks only to living expenses and coverage of medical bills. Most allow for termination of pregnancy should some abnormality be discovered pre-term. In one such case in Connecticut where a fetus was shown to have abnormalities, the surrogate was offered $10,000 to abort. She declined. Because state law clearly identified the purchasers as the parents, the surrogate moved to another state, had the baby, and placed her in an adoptive home. The simplicity of the human desire for children notwithstanding, theres nothing simple about the surrogacy business and we havent scraped the surface of the metaphysical, spiritual, emotional, psychological issues with which a brief flirtation evokes mind-twisting complexities. Physical concerns, meanwhile, are plentiful. This obviously is rich territory for pro-life crusaders for whom compromise on embryos is impossible, but NOWs Sloan, a pro-choice activist, shares no such concerns. She sees surrogacy only as the exploitation of vulnerable women. She also sees a variety of class and race issues at play. The rich take advantage of the poor for designer babies, Caucasian features for carrier preferred. The U.S. is second only to India in providing surrogates, according to Sloan, who also works with the U.N. on human rights. But even India, where some women are warehoused for nine months and forbidden to leave during the pregnancy, recently has set limits on surrogacy. Here in America, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie recently vetoed a bill similar to Louisianas upon learning the darker details behind the family portraits. While no one wishes to cause pain to people who, for whatever reason, cant have a child on their own, there are more compelling principles and consequences in play. Human babies are not things; their mothers are not ovens. But bartering and selling babies-to-order sure make them seem that way. By turning the miracle of life into a profit-driven, stateregulated industry, the stork begins to resemble a vulture. Kathleen Parkers email address is kathleenparker@ washpost.com.

COMMUNITY
gently used, clean, unwrinkled, neatly folded items that have been placed in bags should be donated. It makes it very difficult to pull the donated bags of items out from the donation window when theres all kinds of loose items just thrown in there. Besides, we can reuse the bags you used to drop your items off in. Were always in need of bags. Be sure to watch for the sale colored tags you can get items at half price. The sign is posted at the front as to which color tag is the sale item for the week. Its kind of fun sort of like a treasure hunt. Come join us. We might have just what youre looking for and it might be half price, too. People have remembered the Food Pantry, and we appreciate that so much. As always, we can use any non-perishable item, which also includes diapers (all sizes), paper towels, napkins, toothpaste, deodorants, shampoos and any other personal hygiene items. Youve all been so generous and we are so blessed to be a part of this community. Without you and your donations, we couldnt help the people who truly need a little bit of extra help at this time in their life. God bless all of you. As we begin the summer months, please remember that children will be running about on their way to the pool or to ball game or to the ice cream stand, so be extra careful. We want everyone to have a safe and happy summer. Until the next time, thats this months report.

Warnecke pitches Blue Jays into D-IV Regionals

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com ELIDA The weather Friday at Ed Sandy Memorial Field was brilliant and crisp for the Division IV District baseball final. St. Johns needed an even more brilliant performance from senior starter Troy Warnecke if the Blue Jays were going to knock off the favored Miller City Wildcats and keep going in the postseason. They got that, all right, as he twirled a two-hitter to go the distance in a 3-1 victory. He gives us a second solid starter behind Curtis (Geise). Troy was outstanding today with the movement he had on his pitches, the location and the change of speeds, St. Johns head coach Ryan Warnecke said. We thought hed be solid all year and he started out with a solid fastball at the start of the year but I think he overdid it. He pitched a couple of games but then we had to shut that down some. He took that time to learn the curve ball and he used that very well today to keep them off-balance because we knew they could hit the ball well if you didnt. The Jays (11-14) advance to take on the winner of OttawaHills/Northwood at 2 p.m. Thursday in the Patrick Henry Regional semifinal in Hamler. Warnecke (2-3) also walked two, gave up an earned run and fanned three, not giving up a hit after the second frame in his 84-pitch outing (56 for strikes). I dont have an overwhelming fastball but the curve makes it more effective. I was confident today from the start, Troy Warnecke explained. I knew I could trust my defense, especially knowing how well Curt plays at short. I got stronger as the game wore on because I was just feeling it today, being in a district final and wanting to keep going. He outdueled Wildcat (17-8) freshman Jackson Lammers (93 pitches, 59 for strikes) as he went the distance (6 hits, 3 twice to take the lead for good. With one down, Curtis Geise who played a brilliant defensive game at short with six putouts, including several outstanding efforts beat out an infield hit on a chopper up the middle that shortstop Ross Lehman could not come up with. He stole second and scored as Ryan Buescher beat out an infield hit wide of first base. In the process, an error on the play allowed Geise running all the way to touch the dish. Warnecke (2-for-3) singled to right and a wild pitch moved both runners up a base. Andrew Metzger bounced out to short to plate Buescher for a 3-1 edge. The Jays had a chance to add at least another run in the sixth. With one down, Drew Wagner walked and Andy May pinch-ran. He was forced out at second on a Craig Klausing ground ball. Ben Wrasman (2-for-3) doubled to deep right but a perfect Ross Kaufman-Adam Drummelsmith-Hunter Berner relay nabbed Klausing at home for the third out. Miller Citys last threat came with two down in the top of the seventh as Logan Dukes walked but Warnecke finished strong as he induced a pop-up to Geise by Kaufman to end the game and send the Jays onward. Were playing with a lot of confidence. Defensively, Curt had a great game but so did everyone else, Coach Warnecke added. We do make our errors but we are doing a great job of not compounding them. Were getting good pitches and making plays to get out of the jams. At the plate, were not only getting runners on but were getting them home. We werent before. The Jays had the first opening in the bottom of the first as Warnecke singled up the gut with two down and a balk put him at second. However, Lammers got the third out. Miller City drew first blood in the top of the second on a pair of one-out singles (Drummelsmith and Berner) the last the final safety issued by Warnecke that put runners on the corners and a forceout by Adam Niese that plated Drummelsmith. See JAYS, page 7

St. Johns senior right-hander Troy Warnecke delivers the final pitch in his complete-game victory over Miller City Friday. (Delphos Herald/Tom Morris) walks, 3 earned runs, 4 Ks). Jackson pitched very well today. This was the best weve seen him pitch this year. He knows how to use his fastball and curve well in tandem, Miller City head coach Dusty Pester pointed out. We just didnt do well enough offensively to give him a chance to win. We had our chances but give credit to their pitcher. He did the same thing to us as Jackson did to them. When you give up three runs in a high school game, you have a good chance to win. Tied at 1-1 starting the bottom of the fifth, the Jays scored

Lady Panthers knock out Lancers in District softball

By BRIAN BASSETT DHI Correspondent sports@timesbulletin.com ELIDA - Parkway senior right fielder Olivia Smith came up with the score tied and a runner on first in Fridays Division IV district final and blooped the ball into right field. Fortunately for the Lady Panthers, Crestviews Mackenzie Riggenbach was nowhere to be found. In fact, Parkway was playing a different Northwest Conference opponent, Lincolnview, Friday at Dorothy Edwards Field in Elida and pulled away to win 6-3 thanks in part to the tie-breaking RBI double by Smith. The district championship was extra special with the memory of last seasons game, in which Riggenbach made a diving catch to end the game and Parkways season, still in the Lady Panthers minds. We talked about this point in the season. From the time Riggenbach made that catch in right field last year, we knew we would have a team (this year) that is capable of going a long way. We just want to keep it rolling, said Parkway coach Mark Esselstein. The Lady Lancers (18-5) gave Parkway (20-5) all it wanted in Fridays district cham3-2 lead. Senior center fielder Jodie Doner singled and senior second baseman Kaitlyn Brant followed suit. Sophomore left fielder Devann Springer singled Doner home and Neate plated Brant with a single of her own. Fent was lights-out from that point, however, allowing only one hit through the remainder. Meanwhile, Parkway tied the game in the top of the fourth when Terra Walls doubled and scored when sophomore catcher Zoey Pond reached on error. Junior shortstop Ashlynn Henderson singled with one out in the top of the fifth and scored on the Smith doubled which gave Parkway a 4-3 lead. The lead grew to 5-4 when Smith scored on an RBI triple off the bat of sophomore leadoff-hitting center fielder Kayla Walls. The Lady Panthers scored one final insurance run in the top of the seventh when Snyder singled and scored on an RBI single by Terra Walls to make the score 6-3. Lincolnview threatened with a Doner twoout hit in the home seventh but Fent induced a groundout to end the game and give the Lady Panthers the district title. See PANTHERS, page 7
pionship game taking an early 3-2 lead. But junior Parkway pitcher Sierra Fent sat down 12 of the final 14 Lincolnview batters and the Parkway offense scratched three runs across late to take the game 6-3. Youve got to tip your hat to Parkway. We knew they would hit the ball and they did, said Lincolnview coach Kent McClure. After a scoreless first inning, it was Parkway which struck first in the visitor second. Fent walked, stole second and advanced to third on a Lady Lancer error before scoring on a sacrafice fly by sophomore third baseman Terra Walls. Lincolnview countered with a run of its own in the home half of the second. Sophomore
shortstop Baylee Neate doubled and scored when senior catcher Lauren Calvert reached on an error to tie the game at one. It was such a tough game, explained Esselstein. Lincolnview has the heart of a champion. When we score we want to come back and shut (our opponent) down. If the other team scores, you want to answer right back. And (Lincolnview) just kept answering. Parkway scraped another run across in the top of the third when Smith singled, stole second and scored on a double by senior first baseman Kylie Snyder. Lincolnview again answered in the home third, this time with a pair of runs to take a

Elida, Van Wert sending plenty to Regional Track

By Charlie Warnimont DHI Correspondent sports@delphosherald.com FOSTORIA The 1600-meter relay squad Elida put on the track for the finals Friday had only run this event together once before this season. But with a spot in the regionals on the line, the foursome combined not only for a school record time, but a new district meet record time in winning the event. The win was not the only one for the Bulldogs Friday night as they collected a pair of district championships and advanced five events to the regional meet at Lexington next week. The Lady Bulldogs advanced in one event Friday night at the Division II district in Fostoria. The Division II regional track meet will be held Thursday and Saturday in Lexington as athletes look to finish in the top four and advance to state. Running the 1600 Relay for the Bulldogs in the finals Friday night were seniors Brandon Stinson, Nick Pauff and Quentin Poling and sophomore Clark Etzler. Elida had the third quickest time entering the finals, but took control of the race early as they won the event with a time of 3:24.22, which was a full two seconds better than the previous record set by Van Wert last season. The time also broke the Elida school record. The Cougars finished second Friday night to Elida, while Ottawa-Glandorf was third. This is only the second time we have had our best team run this, a winded Poling said. Sophomore Clark Etzler stepped up real big with a nice PR, then Brandon Stinson, Nick Pauff and myself ran good legs to round it out. We will have a good time going into the regionals next week. Overall, Poling qualified to regionals in three events as earlier in the evening he advanced in the shot put and 300 hurdles. Poling finished third in the shot put with a throw of 51-3 and he won the 300 hurdles in 39.52, which is his best time ever in the event. My shot put was not my best, but it was still a 51, which was good, Poling said. The hurdles I got out and PRed. Going into the final 100 meters, I was fourth or fifth and I pulled it out with a 39.52 which is great. Poling just missed advancing in four events as he finished fifth in the discus on Wednesday. Also advancing for the Bulldogs was Kevin Russell in the 110 hurdles as he finished fourth in 16.10. The Bulldogs 4x100 Relay team of Pauff, Desmend White, Avery Sumpter and Khory Kesler advanced with a third place finish in 44.93. The lone Lady Bulldog to advance was Sarah Suever in the 1600-meter run as she finished third in 5:25.37. It was a good meet for the Van Wert track teams at the Division II district meet in Fostoria this week. Between the boys (nine) and girls (eight) teams the Cougars are sending athletes to the Division II regional in Lexington this week. Advancing in a good number events helped the Van Wert squads finish high in the team standings as well as the Cougar men were second and the girls finished third. Lots of good things happened for us, Van Wert coach Mark Collins said. The kids ran well and did what they had to do. The boys team was the district runner-up for the second straight year and the girls team finished third in their district after an eighth place finish at the league meet last week, so that was a big accomplishment for them. Senior Jared Fleming and sophomores Seth Kopp and Nick Krugh lead the Cougars into the regional meet as each qualified in four events to the regionals. Fleming recorded one win, two seconds and a third at the district meet. Fleming won the 1600-meter run in 4:20.75, which was just two-tenths of a second off the school record at Van Wert. Fleming later finished second in the 800-meter run (1:57.96) to Ottawa-Glandorfs Jacob Leopold (1:56) and anchored the runner-up 1600-meter relay of Seth Kopp, Quincey Salcido and Nick Krugh. The Cougars ran a 3:26.35 as they finished second to Elida, which ran a 3:24.22 to break the district record. The time for the Cougars was their best of the season. On Wednesday night, Van Werts 3200 Relay team of Kase Schalois, Kopp, Connor Holliday and Fleming ran a 8:19.64 to finish in third place. Kopp, a junior, also advanced in four events as he finished second in the 400 (50.58), his best time of the season, and helped the Cougars 800 Relay team of Kevon Pierce, Terrance Branson and Krugh to a second place finish in 1:32.13, which was a season best for the Cougars. Krugh advanced with a third place finish in the 200 (23.06), which was close to his best time of the season, and he was part of the 400 Relay team that finished fourth in 44.94. Pierce, Branson and Lloyd were members of the 400 Relay team along with Krugh. Schalois is a double qualifier for Van Wert after a fourth place finish in the 3200-meter run in 9:49.36. The time was a career best for Schalois. Holliday finished fifth and his best time in the 3200-meter run. The Lady Cougars picked up one district championship as Amanda Clay won the 400 in 59.63, which breaks the accu-track school record time at Van Wert. She also was a four event qualifier for the Cougars as she advanced in the 100 (13.1) with a third place finish and she was fourth in the 200 (26.87). Clay also was part of the 1600 Relay team that advanced with a third place finish in 4:12.30. Alexis Dowdy, Alicia Danylchuk and Whitney Meyers joined Clay in this event. Alexis Dowdy finished third in the shot put with a throw of 36-8 3/4. Meyers finished fourth in the 300 hurdles (48.24), while Jacey Eikenberry finished fourth in 800 (2:28.49) Chloe Gamble finished fourth in the 3200 in 12:06.35.
OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WILDLIFE Weekly Fish Ohio Fishing Report! CENTRAL OHIO Hargus Creek Lake (Pickaway County) - Crappies are active in coves and around woody cover; use minnows or jigs suspended under a bobber. A good number of bluegill and redear sunfish up to 8 inches can be caught on wax worms in shallow areas this time of year. A large population of largemouth bass from 12-15 inches inhabits this lake, with fish over 20 inches present; these can be caught on crankbaits, plastics tubes and creature baits near points with cover. Note special bass regulation: anglers can possess 4, two under 15 inches and two above 15 inches. Electric motors only.
Kokosing River (Knox County) - Ohios first water trail, this scenic river offers paddlers and anglers access to 28 miles of river fishing. Smallmouth and rock bass can be
Panthers
caught on small crankbaits, tubes and jigs. Sunfish, crappie and catfish are present and offer good fishing. Maps and information are available from the ODNR at www.ohiodnr. com. NORTHWEST OHIO Resthaven Wildlife Area (Erie County) - Located just outside Castalia on SR 269, the area has 444 acres of water contained in 10 different ponds. Bluegill fishing is usually very good this time of year; try casting wax worms, small jigs and spinner baits throughout the pond edges. Ponds 7 and 8 should be doing the best right now; pond 8 has a boat ramp and handicapped-accessible fishing pier. Boats may be used on the other ponds; however, no ramps are available. Gasoline motors up to 9.9 HP may be used on all ponds. Killdeer Plains Reservoir

(Wyandot County) - Located 10 miles southwest of Upper Sandusky along SR 67, this features a new floating boat ramp and 241 acres of fishable water. Smallmouth bass should be biting this month; try the rocks along the island and the south shore, casting the shoreline using crayfish or leeches under a slip bobber set just off the bottom. Also, try casting dark-colored tube jigs or crankbaits along the shore. Crappie should also be biting; try the south shoreline using live minnows under a slip bobber or 1/8-oz. jigs with a twister tail tipped with a minnow. There is a 10-HP limit here. Barton Lake (Williams County) - Located on the St. Joseph River Wildlife Area, along CR J, west of CR 10, southwest of Montpelier, it is 19 acres and now is an excellent time to pursue crappie; try the inlet
near the fishing access off of CR J, especially using minnows under a slip bobber. A ramp for small boats is available. There is a limit of 10 sunfish area-wide and only 5 bass, which must be 18 inches in length, may be kept. NORTHEAST OHIO Tappan Lake (Harrison County) - The white bass bite is firing up. Anglers are catching exceptional quality fish around the dam; live gizzard shad have been a hot bait, while crankbaits are also delivering consistent action. Crappie continue to be taken on minnows and jigs near shore; wax worms under a bobber are producing sunfish. The bass bite has picked up somewhat, with soft plastics producing some good fish along the shoreline.

One thing weve always said is do not let (our opponent) have that big inning. Maybe one or two runs but dont let them have that nine-run inning We were still in the game at the end. We kept battling all the way to the end. Im happy with our girls, said McClure. Fent got the win in the circle for the Panthers. She went all seven innings allowing three runs, two of which were earned, while giving up six hits, walking one and striking out seven. Sierra is tough to hit, and Lincolnview probably did as good a job as anybody at putting the ball in play and making us play defense, added Esselstein. McClure agreed: What can you say about Fent. We did put her on for three runs, hit the ball and made contact. Junior Ashley McClure took the loss for
the Lady Lancers. She went all seven innings allowing six runs, only four of which were earned. McClure allowed 11 hits while walking one and striking out six. Snyder was 3-for-4 to pace Parkway, with a double, a run and an RBI. Terra Walls was 2-for-3 with a run and two RBIs. Kayla Walls was 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI. Neate was 2-for-3 for the Lady Lancers, with a double, a run and an RBI. Doner also added a pair of hits, going 2-for-4 with a run scored. The win advances Parkway to play New Riegel Wednesday at Findlay High School in the regional opener.

St. Johns Drew Wagner scoops the throw from senior shortstop Curtis Geise for the final out of the sixth inning Friday night at Ed Sandy Field. The Blue Jays knocked off favored Miller City 3-1 in Division IV District final action. (Delphos Herald/Tom Morris) (Continued from page 6) A pair of one-out errors in the top of the third put two on: Kaufman (third) and Lammers (second); Warnecke retired the next two. The Jays tied it in the home half. Klausing led it off with a walk and Wrasman singled to center. Geise forced Klausing at second to put runners on the corners and promptly swiped second. Buescher bounced out to second to get Klausing home. Geise was left stranded at third. In the St. Johns fourth, they had another threat. Metzger got aboard on a twobase error on his fly ball to the outfield. Two outs later, Wagner walked but both runners were left on base. A two-out miscue and a free pass put Kaufman on second and Lammers on first in the fifth frame. A diving nab of Jared Fukas liner by leftfielder Wrasman ended the threat. That began a run of six straight outs.

Past
Small beginnings
By Pastor Dan Eaton
Mini
No matter how well known or how great a person becomes, we all start out small. Yes, I know some are born into wealth and favored position because of their parents or other family members. But no matter what advantages or disadvantages we inherit, we have the opportunity to do something with our small beginnings. My small beginning started on March 13, 1948. My 19-year-old dad, and 17-year-old mom didnt have much money or possessions, but they had me and their love for one another. By the time I became a toddler, we were able to rent a house in the country. We had a vegetable garden, a well from which we pumped water and an outhouse. It wasnt much (as you can see from the picture) but it was our home and another step in our journey as a family. Proverbs 15:16-17 says, Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil. Better a small serving of vegetables with love than a fattened calf with hatred. Several decades have passed since our time in the little house at the top of the hill in Rockport, West Virginia, but Im grateful for the pictures and memories I have of
The house at Rockport. (photo submitted)
our time there. As a young man I had a desire to become rich and famous. I wanted to be a success. Those daydreams have long ago been replaced by the hope of wanting to live a life of love and making a positive difference in the lives of my family and church families Ive been blessed to pastor. Ive lived in a lot of different cities and houses but home is the place where love and family dwell. I may never live in a mansion, but I want to live my life following the example given by Jesus Christ. Jesse Jackson said, We must not measure greatness from the mansion down, but from the manger up. How true that is. In 1999, we received a call from Rev. Robert Crabtree, who was serving as the District Superintendent of the Ohio District Assemblies of God. He told me there was a hurting church in Delphos, Ohio, and that it needed someone to go and love them. As he was praying about the church, he said he thought of my wife and I and wondered if we would be interested in the opportunity (should the Lord open the door) of moving to Delphos and loving the church family back to health. After much prayer, interviews, and
St. Johns
two sermons we were elected to become the new pastor and wife of Delphos First Assembly of God and made Delphos our home in January 2000. Weve worked hard and done our best to love and serve the people of our church and the surrounding communities. Weve experienced many wonderful days and seen people saved, healed, reconciled and prayers answered. Weve conducted marriages, dedicated children, baptized people and rejoiced with those that God has blessed in so many wonderful ways. Weve also conducted funerals, seen people move away, others leave, and wept with those that were hurting. Some days I feel good about what we and the people of our church have accomplished as weve partnered with God to grow His church. Some days I feel like Ive failed because we havent been able to grow the church back to the numerical level it had in the 1980s. We recently saw Brother Crabtree, who is now retired. He remembered his phone call to us and was so happy to hear that we are still at Delphos. We exchanged a handshake and a hug. Before we parted ways, we smiled and looked into one anothers eyes with a look of understanding that is only known by those who taken up their cross and followed Jesus. Are the churchs greatest years ahead, or behind? I believe they are ahead. Will Janie and I be here when God takes Delphos First Assembly and the churches of our area who are praying to another level? I hope so. Will our years here be considered as success or failure? I guess that depends on how success is measured. I hope we have loved and loved well. Delphos First Assembly is a church where you can find safety, love, and acceptance. It feels like home to us. If you dont have a church home, we invite you to join us and to come home. Ive spent time with people who have had great worldly success and also been blessed to spend time with great men and women of God. Ive come to the understanding that we all have the opportunity to do something significant with our lives even though we all had small beginnings.
Franklin third-grader Garrett Richardson expressed his feelings about participating in the walk. It makes me feel glad to do something positive and think about the people who fought cancer, Richardson said. The playgrounds were filled with game booths like Plinko, miniature golf, face painting, football and bean bag toss. St. Johns had two inflatable jumping pits, relay races and chalk art, as well as fitness games. St. Johns first-grader Elayna Will thought the walk was a good idea. Its a lot of fun, Will said. The ring toss is my favorite. Proceeds from all games and donations will be given to the American Cancer Society for patient needs, such as transportation to and from doctor appointments, the purchase of wigs and to fund further cancer research.

Faithful Companion in the Bible In the Old Testament Book of Tobit, Tobias sets off on a trek to collect a debt to help his blind father. He is accompanied on his journey by the angel Raphael and a small dog. After all the adventures have finished, he returns home, the dog running ahead to announce his arrival. Tradition maintains that this dog even proceeded Tobias into heaven. It is this story that accounts for the sustained popularity of the name Toby for dogs. From The Intelligence of Dogs By Stanley Coren St. Patrick and the Dogs Patrick MacAlperns life was strangely entwined with dogs. Around A.D. 400, at age sixteen, Patrick was abducted by Irish marauders. He was enslaved and kept as a shepherd for six years, his sole companion being a dog. In response to a dream, he made his way to the coast, where he found the ship that the dream foretold would return him to his own land. The ship was from Gaul, and the master put it into Irish waters in order to get a cargo of hunting hounds, which were bringing fabulous prices on European markets. Not surprisingly, as a penniless slave, Patrick was received unsympathetically when he tried to gain passage. However, just as he was leaving, he was suddenly called back. Over one hundred great Irish wolfhounds now packed the holds and filled the deck of the ship. Taken from their masters and their familiar surroundings, the giant dogs were frantic and furious, ready to attack anyone who came near. Some of the sailors had noticed that during Patricks brief visit to the ship, he had spoken with some of the dogs and seemed to have a calming effect on them. Therefore, in exchange for feeding, cleaning up after, and otherwise caring for the dogs Patrick received passage to the continent. The ship was badly underprovisioned and reached a ruined and deserted section of Gaul with nothing left to feed dogs or men. Because the dogs were worth more than the ship, the crew abandoned the ship and set off on foot, heading inland. With no inhabitants or food in the area, the dogs and men were soon in jeopardy of dying of starvation. The shipmaster, who had learned that Patrick was a Christian, turned to him and in a taunting manner said, If your god is so great, then pray to him to send us food. Patrick did so, and the story goes, a miracle occurred. A herd of wild pigs appeared, seemingly from nowhere. Instead of bolting and running as might be expected, the swine stayed long enough for the starving men, with the assistance of the dogs, to kill some of them, providing meat for all. Patricks reputation rose considerably, and after the dogs were sold, the crew made a gift to him of some food and money to help him on his way. Many years later, he returned to Ireland, and his goal was to preach Christianity. It seems the news that a strange ship had just landed, from which emerged white-robed men with clean shaved heads who chanted in a strange tongue, prompted an Irish prince to go to the coast to investigate the situation, accompanied by his large hunting dog. Dichie decided that the best course was to kill these odd clerics and be done with it. With a shout, he set his dog at Patrick. The dog lept forward in full fury, but when Patrick uttered a short prayer, the dog halted, grew quiet and then approached Patrick and muzzled his hand. Dichie was so touched by this scene that he aided Patricks mission in Ireland in many ways. The point of these stories seems to be that the dogs could somehow sense or respond to Patricks piety. According to Irish folklore, Patrick repaid dogs for their deference to him by allowing the legendary character Oissain to take hounds to heaven with him when he died, where we can suppose that they are keeping Tobiass little dog company. By Stanley Coren Dog, Trapped in Sweltering Car Honks For Help Gardner ran an errand and took Max with her. When she came home a short time later she went inside the house, forgetting Max was still in the car. The dog saved his own life by honking the horn to get himself out of a very, very overheated car. Dog Leads Police to Fire Buddy and his owner, 23-year-old Ben Heinrichs, were in the family workshop, April 4, when a heater ignited chemicals. Heinrichs, who sustained minor flash burns on his face, dashed out. He then told Buddy, go get help. The dog took off and found a trooper responding to a call about the fire. Buddy led the officer to the house and the trooper guided firefighters to the scene. Kishta the Smart Cat My husbands home office is off limits to felines. The door knob to this and every other room is the lever type. The first time hubby went through his door and shut it in Kishtas face, she looked at the door knob and then at me and waited until I left so I wouldnt see her and stop her. Within minutes, she had figured out how to jump and hang onto the lever just right to open the door. The other cats promptly learned her trick by observing her. When I lock a door with a key, she eyes it thoughtfully when I lay it down, but there are limitations I guess.

ODOT provides local road report

The following is a weekly report concerning construction and maintenance work on state highways within the Ohio Department of Transportation District 1, which includes the counties of Allen, Defiance, Hancock, Hardin, Paulding, Putnam, Van Wert and Wyandot. Interstate 75 Reconstruction Project For the most recent information concerning the Interstate 75 reconstruction project through Lima and Allen County and the safety upgrade of Ohio 117/309 on Limas east side, please visit: www.odotlima75.org Interstate 75 between Fourth Street and Ohio 81 in Lima will have occasional nighttime lane restrictions during reconstruction of the existing lanes of pavement, replacement of mainline bridges and reconstruction of the interchanges. Work began in March 2013 and will continue through fall of 2015. Traffic is maintained two lanes in each direction the majority of the time. Lane restrictions generally occur from 7 p.m. until 10 a.m. the following morning. All ramp entrance and exits are currently available. Ohio 117/309 is one lane in each direction in the eastbound lanes from just west of the Interchange with Interstate 75 to Belmont Avenue (Kmart) during a safety upgrade project which will reconstruct areas of the pavement and install a raised curb median in the center of the roadway. A twoway, left-turn lane begins at Saratoga Avenue. Traffic will remain in this pattern until mid to late summer to allow for work at the interchange at Interstate 75 and on the north side of Ohio 117/309. Ohio 81 from just west of Stewart Road to just west of Neubrecht Road east of Lima is one lane in each direction in the existing eastbound lanes for pavement reconstruction. All ramp movements are currently maintained at the interchange with Interstate 75. Ohio 309 (Elida Road) between Eastown Road and Robb Avenue will be restricted to one lane through the work zone during nighttime hours only for work to extend sections of an existing concrete median curb and to lengthen a turn lane. Work will generally take
AAA projects slight dip in Memorial Day travel

Information submitted COLUMBUS - AAA predicts 34.8 million Americans, including 1.31 million Ohioans, will travel at least 50 miles from home this Memorial Day holiday weekend, Thursday May 23 to Monday, May 27. While this is a decrease of 0.9 percent nationwide and 1.4 percent for Ohio from 2012, the projected numbers remain in line with 12-year historical travel averages. The expected decrease can be attributed to a sluggish economic recovery and the impact of sequestration, which is expected to be strongest during the second quarter of this year. In addition, four years removed from the recessionary declines of 2009, pent-up demand for travel has been largely satisfied. Despite these factors, millions of travelers plan on kicking off the summer travel season with a vacation getaway. Modes of Transportation: An estimated 88 percent of American travelers (31.2 million) and 91 percent of Ohio travelers, (1.2 million) will drive to their destinations this Memorial Day. Automobile travel remains the preferred choice of transportation as it is often more affordable, convenient and flexible. More than 2.3 million leisure air travelers, including nearly 64,000 Ohioans, will fly this Memorial Day. This is an 8 percent decrease nationally and 7.8 percent decrease in Ohio. Gas Prices and Travel: A survey of intended travelers found that 62 percent of travelers will not alter their travel plans due to high gas prices (up from 53 percent in 2012). Of the remaining 38 percent of travelers who said gas prices will impact their travel plans: 27 percent plan to economize in other areas 8 percent plan to take shorter trips 3 percent plan to travel by an alternate mode of transportation Spending and Activities: Travelers expect to spend an average of $659 this Memorial Day holiday, which is 6 percent lower than last year. Transportation will account for the largest portion of the travel budget, at 28 cents per travel dollar. This is likely because, overall people are expected to drive farther distances this year. During the holiday weekend, more than half of travelers plan on visiting with friends and family (59 percent) and dining (55 percent). Other popular activities include shopping (44 percent), going to the beach (32 percent) and touring and sightseeing (27 percent).
place between the hours of 9 p.m. until 6:30 a.m. the following day. The existing median curb in both the eastbound and westbound directions will be extended at the intersections of American Avenue, Hartzler Road, Veterans Way and Arthur Avenue, and in the eastbound direction only at Robb Avenue. The project will also extend the eastbound left-turn lane at the west entrance to the Lima Mall at Hartzler Road. The project also includes curb work at the north end of the eastern Lima Mall entrance. The project is expected to be completed in approximately one month. Allen County Ohio 696/I-75 north of Beaverdam will be restricted to one lane through the work zone next week for crack and joint sealing. Putnam County Ohio 224 between Ottoville and Ohio 190; Ohio 190 between Ohio 224 and Ohio 634; and Ohio 114 between Ohio 694 and Ohio 224 will be restricted to one lane through the work zone for full depth repair. Ohio 189 over Sugar Creek in Vaughnsville closed until June 15 for a bridge deck replacement. Traffic detoured onto Ohio 190, U.S. 224 and Ohio 115 back to Ohio 189. Ohio 190 between Ohio 224 and Ohio 634 will be restricted to one lane through the work zone for full depth repair. Ohio 114 between Ohio 694 and Ohio 224 will be restricted to one lane through the work zone for full depth repair. Ohio 12 in Columbus Grove closed March 15 for 90 days for a sewer replacement. Traffic detoured onto Ohio 65 and Sycamore Street back to Ohio 12. Van Wert County Ohio 118 at various locations will be restricted to one lane through the work zone at times for drainage work. U.S. 127 from U.S. 224 to the south corporation limit of Paulding restricted through the work zone for grinding and resurfacing of the roadway. The project is expected to be completed in one month.
Answers to puzzle
Trucker bumps I-5 bridge, sees tragedy behind him
MOUNT VERNON, Wash. (AP) The trucker was hauling a load of drilling equipment when his load bumped against the steel framework over an Interstate 5 bridge. He looked in his rearview mirror and watched in horror as the span collapsed into the water behind him. Two vehicles fell into the icy Skagit River. Amazingly, nobody was killed. The three people who fell into the water escaped with only minor injuries. Officials are trying to find out whether the spectacular collapse of a bridge on one of the Wests most important roadways was a fluke or a sign of a bigger problem with thousands of bridges across the U.S.

In todays world, fifty cents doesnt buy a heck of a lot except of course, when it comes to your newspaper. For less than the cost of a soda, you can get word from across town or across the nation. For less than the price of a cup of coffee, you can get your fill of local news, politics, or whatever else is your cup of tea. With something new to greet you each day, from cover to cover, your newspaper is still the most streetwise buy in town! The Delphos Herald 419-695-0015 ext. 122
Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
SUNDAY, MAY 26, 2013 There is a good chance you will establish several enviable relationships in the year ahead. Look for people with whom you have interests in common. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -You will be adept at advancing your interests and those of others. This will be due to the unusually sharp nature of your perceptions. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Youll get the chance to adjust a troubling situation. Youll take the initiative to turn it into something acceptable. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your financial picture should start to look more encouraging. Conditions are shifting in your favor, though youll have little control over them. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Find an acceptable way to make your feelings known to someone you fancy. The allure might be mutual. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- To take control over a frustrating matter, you need gumption and grit. Its time to step up or step off. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You can become an excellent salesperson if you truly believe in your product. If youre sincere, youll be successful. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Your competency and flair in financial matters can be remarkable, if you put your mind to it. Several opportunities will arise today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Companions will find you especially appealing, if a bit mysterious. You wont be aware of your charisma, but this will only add to the appeal. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- The secret to getting people to do your bidding is to make a direct appeal to their emotions. Even though they might appear to resist, your friends really want to help. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- When dealing with a new acquaintance, try to evaluate what lies beneath the surface. Still waters run deep. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Some days, you conduct yourself so well that people cant help but take notice. It could be one of those days, so be prepared to be in the spotlight. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Dont inhibit your imagination, because your ideas could have wonderful, far-reaching effects. Youre bringing your A game. MONDAY, MAY 27, 2013 If the course youve been on for the past year seems to be the right one, keep on it. There are indications that some rewards await you at the end of the road, but if you make a sudden change, it could set you back. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Dont take on a new financial obligation if you havent yet paid off old bills. Dont let a sudden whim put you in the hole. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -You take pride in your strong, independent nature. That wont stop you, however, from being persuaded to follow some bad advice. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Try to be patient and tolerant with those who dont grasp an idea as quickly as you do. Be sure to explain things as much as necessary, and dont be afraid to repeat yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -There are times when its not only advisable but also kind to be patient with those who are having trouble keeping up. Someday, youll be in the same position. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Although its sometimes necessary to take a calculated risk to advance your interests, you should always tread carefully. Dont be too eager to depart from traditional methods. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Dont make a major domestic decision without first discussing it with a significant other. If things go wrong, it could cause trouble down the line. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Dont try to get by with a lick and a promise when it comes to your work. If what you do isnt up to snuff, it could quickly put your career in jeopardy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- By being indifferent about money matters, you are likely to let a huge opportunity slip right past you. It will cause you much regret. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Its not like you to be gabby, so dont start now. If you cant put a lid on your lips, you could easily blurt out something that should be kept confidential. PISCES Feb. 20-March 20) -If for some strange reason youre attracted to unusual gadgets and/or merchandise, be exceptionally careful. You could buy something expensive that youd never use. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Usually, when you get a bee in your bonnet, you cant think of anything else. But today, however, your focus will spread too thin. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Any problem you encounter is likely to be of your own making, owing to erratic or impulsive thinking. Make up your mind and stick to it. TUESDAY, MAY 28, 2013 It could be much easier for you to gratify your personal interests in the year ahead. Chances are, your newfound success may even be in an area where you usually meet with failure. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Any venture you undertake could turn out to be more dynamic than anticipated. Play things carefully, because you might have a tiger by the tail. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -The key to your success will be your selfless attitude. If youre willing to go all out for people, they, in return, will knock themselves out for you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be as amicable and outgoing as you can today. Relationships you establish in your current cycle will blossom into enduring friendships. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -The rewards youve been anticipating are on the way. Outside events are what have been holding you back, and circumstances have been shifting in your favor. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Whatever knowledge or skills youve acquired recently will not go unused or wasted during the upcoming cycle. Put your experience to use. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A career opportunity that could be bigger than anything you thought possible could come your way. Be ready to take advantage of it with alacrity. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Friends will be looking out for your interests, and will make things happen for you that you could never do on your own. Be sure to show the proper gratitude. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You might be able to increase your rate of progress if you raise the number of your ambitions. Theres no law that says you can only pursue one thing at a time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If youre a member of a club or organization, and youre asked to fill a particular post or position, do it. It could lead to something big. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Before you move on to a new enterprise, be sure youve gotten all that you can from your old ones. There could be some hidden payoffs. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Positive changes are afoot, especially regarding an area in which you are highly skilled. Its time to put all your knowledge to use. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Proceed with cautious optimism when it comes to your career. You could be enormously lucky, but youll still need to tread carefully.

Answers to Fridays questions: When it comes to supersonic travel, people start to lose their color vision at 4Gs four times the force of gravity. The phenomenon is called graying out. At 4.5Gs, an individual may lose his or her vision. (Humans endure 1G during normal daily living.) The sooty tern, the most abundant seabird in the tropics, spends the first four or more years of its life aloft. After fledging it only touches down when fully mature and then only during the breeding season. It spends most of its time airborne, sleeping on the wing and never landing on water for fear of becoming waterlogged and incapable of flight. Todays questions: How many innings did Jewish baseball great Sandy Koufax pitch in the 1961 game that started shortly after his 25-hour Yom Kippur fast had ended? What nickname did Englands princess Diana give her sons, William and Harry, when they were tots? Answers in Tuesdays Herald.
