Second shot: Hillary Clinton running again for presidentWASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary

Rodham Clinton jumped back into presidential politics on Sunday, announcing her much-awaited sec-ond campaign for the White House. “Everyday Americans need a cham-pion. I want to be that champion,” she said.

As she did in 2007, Clinton began her campaign for the 2016 Democratic nomination with a video. But rather than follow it with a splashy rally, she instead plans to head to the ear-ly-voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire, looking to connect with voters directly at coffee shops, day care centers and some private homes.

“So I’m hitting the road to earn your vote. Because it’s your time.

And I hope you’ll join me on this journey,” Clinton said at the end of a video, which features a series of men, women and children describing their aspirations.

This voter-centric approach was picked with a purpose, to show that Clinton is not taking the nomination for granted. Only after about a month of such events will Clinton will give a broader speech outlining more specif-ics about her rationale for running.

The former secretary of state, sen-ator and first lady enters the race in a strong position to succeed her rival from the 2008 campaign, President Barack Obama.

Her message will focus on strength-ening economic security for the mid-

dle class and expanding opportunities for working families. The campaign is portraying her as a “tenacious fighter” who can get results and work with Congress, business and world leaders.

“Americans have fought their way back from tough economic times. But the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top. Everyday Americans need a champion and I want to be that champion,” she said in the video.

“So you can do more than just get by. You can get ahead and stay ahead. Because when families are strong, America is strong.”

Clinton’s strategy, described ahead of the announcement by two senior advisers who requested anonymity to discuss her plans, has parallels to

Obama’s approach in 2012. He framed his re-election as a choice between Democrats focused on the middle class and Republicans who sought to protect the wealthy and return to poli-cies that led the country into recession.

Clinton will face pressure from the progressive wing of her party to adopt a more populist economic message focused on income inequality. Some liberals remain skeptical of Clinton’s close ties to Wall Street donors and the centrist economic policies of her husband’s administration. They have urged her to back tougher financial regulations and tax increases on the wealthy.

Slow recall normal part of aging

BY STEPHANIE GROVESDHI Media Staff Writer

[email protected]

Do you ever find yourself forgetting where you put your keys or not being able to remember the title to a movie you’ve seen recently or find yourself standing in the middle of the kitchen not knowing what you went in there for?

According to the National Institute on Aging (NIA) memory loss can happen at any age for any number of reasons. For some people, these simple acts of forgetfulness are scary because they lead to thoughts of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s of Northwest Ohio’s Program Manager Linda Pollitz, LSW, said that as people age; their brains change; it happens to every-one.

“Some may forget people’s names or have trouble in recalling the names as quickly as they used to,” Pollitz explained.

There are a variety of conditions, disorders and injuries people can sustain that causes a lack of oxygen to the brain and contributes to age-related memory loss.

Sleep Apnea is a treatable sleep disorder which causes breathing to stop briefly and frequently throughout the night and is linked to mem-ory loss and dementia.

“Not enough oxygen gets to the brain and people wake with ‘foggy brain’ in the morning,” Pollitz explained. “After people take the steps for treatment for the disorder, their memory and overall health increases and improves.”

Symptoms of sleep apnea are waking with headaches from the hundreds of brain interruptions per night due to the brain being stressed and having daytime fatigue or if a partner complains of loud snoring.

According to The Journal of Neuroscience, when sleep apnea is not treated, it affects spatial navigational memory, including the ability to remember directions or where you put things like your keys. The research suggests that deep sleep, also known as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, plays an important role in memory.

Silent strokes cause vascular cognitive impairments that can devel-op gradually and change brain function, causing mild to severe memo-ry problems. Blocked or reduced blood flow in the brain deprives it of oxygen and essential nutrients.

FINDLAY (AP) — A plan to reduce flooding along the Blanchard River in northwest-ern Ohio, which includes build-ing a 10-mile channel to divert water away from downtown Findlay, would cost nearly $66 million, according to the federal agency overseeing the project.

The price tag, though, is much less than earlier estimates of well over $100 million.

Much of the cost would go toward constructing the diver-sion channel southwest of Findlay that would send flood-water away from the city before slowly sending back into the river.

A levee stretching for 1.5 miles to keep the river’s flood-water from spilling over also is a part plan released Friday by The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The project would not be finished until at least 2027, The Courier reported.

Controlling flooding along the river is a top concern in Findlay, where five major floods have caused millions of dollars in damage since 2007. Government funds have been used already to buy flood-prone property and homes along the river, but city leaders say a long-term solution is needed.

The Army Corps is planning a public meeting on April 22 in Findlay to discuss the project. It said that flood control will save the area about $3.8 million a year.

Flood plan costs $66M

MIDDLE POINT — Roberta Jeanette Hitchcock, a lifelong resident of Van Wert County, passed away Saturday, April 11, 2015, at Otterbein Senior Living Community in Cridersville at the age of 89.

She lived on the family farm near Middle Point until recently.

In 1990, she was selected as Para-Professional of the Year by the Ohio Council of Children with Behavioral Disorders for “providing encouragement, consistency and enthusiasm for the program.”

Roberta was known for providing encouragement in all aspects of her life. Her warm smile, easy laugh and interest in others inspired those around her to use their talents.

Roberta’s greatest joys were her family and friends. She loved cooking, baking, crafting and being outside. She liked to meet people, lun-cheons, learn new things and throughout the years explored a variety of experiences with her children and grandchil-dren.

Visiting hours are 2-8 p.m. Tuesday at Alspach-Gearhart Funeral Home, 722 S.Washington Street, Van Wert.

oiU reviews alcohol laws with prom season in mind

inForMAtion sUBMitteD

COLUMBUS – Prom season in Ohio is upon us and agents with the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s Ohio Investigative Unit want parents and stu-dents to understand Ohio’s alcohol laws. Agents hope parents and students make the decision not to participate in illegal and dangerous behavior, such as providing alcohol to minors and consuming underage.

“While we know alcohol consump-tion takes place before prom, most of the illegal activity happens after prom has concluded,” said OIU Enforcement Commander Eric Wolf. “Either way, the excitement that comes along with prom can easily turn into a time of tragedy because of the increased occurrences of underage drinking at after-prom parties. We urge parents not to provide a place or

allow alcohol consumption to take place on your property.”

To help foster good choices, parents and teens need to understand Ohio’s underage drinking laws.

It is illegal to provide a place for your child and his/her friends to drink in a “safe” environment. In fact, parents may not provide alcohol to children who are under 21, who are not their own, even in their own home with the other parents’ permission. Those convicted of provid-ing alcohol to a person under 21 years of age face maximum sentences of six months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.

It is illegal to purchase alcohol for anyone under 21. Anyone who purchas-es, sells or gives alcoholic beverages to underage individuals faces a $1,000 fine and/or up to six months in jail.

If you are under 21 and are caught

driving with a blood alcohol concen-tration of .02 percent or higher, a level that can be reached after just one or two drinks, you can be arrested. Punishment is suspension of your driver license for at least 90 days up to a maximum of two years, plus four points added to your driving record. Having an open container of alcohol in a motor vehicle is also illegal.

Together, we must commit to making a safer Ohio, by stopping senseless trag-edies associated with irresponsible and illegal underage alcohol consumption. If you have information about a bar, store or carryout selling beer and/or liquor to persons under the age of 21 or you have information of an underage house party, please notify the Ohio Investigative Unit by calling the #677 on your cell phone and your complaint will be investigated.

Having More Retirement Accounts is Not the Same as Having More Money.When it comes to the number of retirement accounts you have, the saying “more is better” is not necessarily true. In fact, if you hold multiple accounts with various brokers, it can be difficult to keep track of your investments and to see if you’re properly diversified.* At the very least, multiple accounts usually mean multiple fees.

Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could help solve all that. Plus, one statement can make it easier to see if you’re moving toward your goals.

Hunters prepare for wild turkey season

INFORMATION SUBMITTED

COLUMBUS – For many hunters, spring in Ohio brings the unmistakable sound of gobbling wild turkeys as Ohio’s annual hunt of this popular game bird begins. The 2015 Ohio spring hunting season opens April 20, with the youth wild turkey season on Saturday and Sunday, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).

Hunters harvested 16,556 wild turkeys during the 2014 youth and spring turkey sea-sons. The total checked in 2013 was 18,391 wild turkeys.

The ODNR Division of Wildlife anticipates approximately 70,000 licensed hunters, not counting exempt landowners hunting on their own property, will enjoy Ohio’s popular spring wild turkey season before it ends May 17. The spring and youth turkey seasons are open statewide with the exception of Lake La Su An Wildlife Area in Williams County, which requires a special hunting permit.

Hunters are required to make their own game tag to attach to a turkey. Game tags can be made of any material (cardboard, plastic, paper, etc.) as long as it contains the hunter’s name, date, time and county of the kill. Go to the Turkey Hunting Resources page at wildohio.gov for more information about the game check process.

All hunters must report their turkey harvest using the automated game-check system. Game-check transactions are available online and by phone seven days a week, including holidays. Hunters with a turkey permit have three options to complete the game check:

— Online at ohiogamecheck.com;— Call 877-TAG-ITOH (824-4864); or— Visit a license agent. A list of agents can be found at

wildohio.gov or by calling 800-WILDLIFE (945-3543).Landowners exempt from purchasing a turkey permit,

and others not required to purchase a turkey permit, can-not use the 877-TAG-ITOH option.

Landowners and others not required to obtain a permit have the following game-check options:

— Online at ohiogamecheck.com;— Visit a license agent; or— Call 866-703-1928 for operator assisted landowner

game-check (a convenience fee of $5.50 applies).Hunters are required to have a hunting license and a

spring turkey hunting permit (exceptions are listed in the current Hunting Digest). The spring season bag limit is two bearded turkeys. Hunters can harvest one bearded turkey per day and a second spring turkey permit can be purchased at any time throughout the spring turkey sea-son. Turkeys must be checked no later than 11:30 p.m. the day of harvest.

The youth-only turkey hunt is Saturday and Sunday for youth possessing a valid youth hunting license and youth turkey permit (exceptions are listed in the current Hunting Digest). Youth hunters must be accompanied by a non-hunting adult, 18 years of age or older. Only two wild turkeys may be checked by a youth hunter during the two-day season. Additionally, if two turkeys are harvest-ed in the youth season, no additional birds may be taken by the youth hunter for the duration of the season.

Hunting hours are 30 minutes before sunrise until noon from April 20-May 3. Hunting hours from May 4-17 will be 30 minutes before sunrise to sunset. Hunting hours are 30 minutes before sunrise to sunset during the two-day youth season.

Hunters may use shotguns or archery equipment to hunt wild turkeys. It is unlawful to hunt turkeys using bait, live decoys or electronic calling devices or to shoot a wild turkey while it is in a tree. The ODNR Division of

Wildlife advises turkey hunters wear hunter orange clothing when entering, leaving or moving through hunting areas in order to remain visible to others.

Wild turkey breeding activity is primarily controlled by the increasing amount of day-light. Hens typically start incubating eggs around May 1 in Ohio. Ohio’s current wild turkey population is approximately 165,000.

Wild turkeys were extirpated in Ohio by 1904 and were reintroduced in the 1950s by the ODNR Division of Wildlife. Ohio’s first modern day wild turkey season opened

in 1966 in nine counties, and hunters checked 12 birds. The wild turkey harvest topped 1,000 for the first time in 1984. Spring turkey hunting opened statewide in 2000, and Ohio hunters checked more than 20,000 wild turkeys for the first time that year.

ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protec-tion of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR website at ohiodnr.gov.

April is 9-1-1 education monthSUBMITTED BY KIM BRANDT

Van Wert County 9-1-1 Coordinator

Just three numbers to dial seems simple enough but with today’s technology, do you know how to make 9-1-1 work for you? Here are 10 things everyone needs to know about 9-1-1:

1. Knowing WHEN to call and what to expect when you call 9-1-1.

9-1-1 is the phone number you can call from any phone any place in the USA when you need help or see someone that needs help right away. Knowing what to expect when you call 9-1-1 can help reduce fear and feelings of helplessness in an emergency.

In an emergency, seconds matter, so being knowledgeable and prepared can make all the difference.

It is appropriate to call 9-1-1 when you need help to save a life, stop a crime or report a fire. You should be dialing 9-1-1 if someone is hurt and in need of immediate medical assistance, or if you are in immediate need of law enforcement or a firetruck. 9-1-1 is for emergency use only.

2. If you dial 9-1-1 for a non-emergency matter, you are tying up resources that could be needed for a real emergency. If you accidentally call 9-1-1, stay on the line and tell the dispatcher that you do not have an emergency. Harassing and making prank calls to 9-1-1 is a crime.

3. Know WHERE you are.This is the most important place to start.

Van Wert County 9-1-1 has current technology and up-to-date mapping that helps us find you. However it depends on cell phone signals, cell towers and your device as to how accurate the information we get is.

If you are on the road when an emergency strikes, tell 9-1-1 what road you are on, look around for road signs, house numbers or mile markers to help us locate you. What’s your loca-tion will be the first question 9-1-1 will ask you. Be prepared to answer. Make a real effort to be as detailed as possible. Landmarks can be helpful if you don’t know where you are. If you are in a large building with multiple levels, you can help emer-gency services by letting them know which floor you are on, which apartment you are in, etc… If you are in a school or a factory, telling 9-1-1 which door to enter is very helpful.

4. If you have an immediate choice between calling 9-1-1 from a landline or a cellphone, use the landline to call 9-1-1. Cellphones are not always routed to the closest 9-1-1 call center, causing a slight delay in getting your call to the proper PSAP.

5. One thing to make 9-1-1 work for you is-

Knowing how to use your phone, be it a cellphone, VoIP phone, landline phone, etc. It is your job to be knowledgeable about the devices your family could use to call 9-1-1 as well as the potential lim-itations associated with them (such as VoIP phone likely won’t work during a power outage).

Contact your service provider for more information on device limita-tions. Something else to consider: if you are traveling, do others with you know how to access your phone if it is locked? Could your children or grandchildren call 9-1-1 for you on your cellphone if needed? I go to preschools and teach kids about using 9-1-1. When, what numbers to dial and why to dial 9-1-1. What we can’t teach them is how to access 9-1-1 on your device/cellphone.

Our current 9-1-1 set-up accepts voice calls only. Texting 9-1-1 is not an option today in Van Wert County. Lock your keypad when you are not using your phone so 9-1-1 is not accidentally dialed by mistake. For the same reason don’t put 9-1-1 on speed dial. Don’t give old phones to chil-dren as toys. A wireless phone with no service can still call 9-1-1.

6. Never hang up.You may have called 9-1-1 by accident, or your

situation may have resolved itself, but it is import-ant to let 9-1-1 dispatch know this. If you end the 9-1-1 call abruptly, dispatch is going to assume that something has gone very wrong on your end and will either call you back or send help anyway. Make sure the dispatcher tells you it is OK to disconnect before you hang up. Keep in mind that dispatch can send help to you while they have you on the phone; they do not need to disconnect to get help coming to you. Make sure you hold the line as long as it is safe to do so, so that you can provide any necessary information or assistance to the 9-1-1 Operator.

7. When you have 9-1-1 on the line stay calm and ready to give information and listen for instructions; you are the eyes and ears for 9-1-1 while you are on the line. If you are crying or yelling, it can be difficult for 9-1-1 to understand you. The calmer you can be the faster services can be sent. 9-1-1 is here to help you until emergency responders arrive. Be ready to listen and follow directions. The 9-1-1 dispatcher can talk you through providing first aid until help arrives. Lives have been saved thanks to 9-1-1 callers and 9-1-1 dispatchers.

8. Post your address clearly in prominent plac-es in multiple locations outdoors and indoors. Having your address clearly visible at the end of your driveway and on your home itself will ensure

that the first responders aren’t left wondering if they are in the right location. Make sure you use numbering and lettering that can been seen clearly during the day and at night. Make sure it is visible no matter which direction help is coming from.

Posting your address in a prominent place inside your home is important as it is easy to forget your own address during an emergency. It could be helpful for a babysitter or other visi-tors in your home during an emergen-cy if they need to call 9-1-1.

9. Report missing street signs in your neighborhood immediately. Making sure that your neighborhood has all the proper signage not only helps family and friends find your

home but it can be crucial during an emergency situation when time is of the essence.

10. For parents, teach your kids what 9-1-1 is. Help your kids memorize information that will be useful to 9-1-1 call takers, such as their name, their parents’ names, their address and phone number. The more comfortable they are the more quickly they can provide vital information to the 9-1-1 call taker who can then provide vital information to the appropriate responders.

Engage in ongoing, age-appropriate training with your children. Once is never enough; your job isn’t done after your kids understand the basics. As the years pass, technology will change and so will your child’s capacity for providing crucial details to the 9-1-1 call taker.

I hope this information is helpful to you. Please contact me if you ever have 9-1-1 questions. I’m available to talk to your class or club about 9-1-1. My office number is 419-238-3866 and my email address is [email protected]

You can find Van Wert County 9-1-1 Operations on Facebook.

During April, I always like to recognize our 9-1-1 dispatchers for National Telecommunicators week. They are the calm voice on the other end of the line. They are on duty night and day 24/7 to send help your way. I send my heartfelt thank you to each and every 9-1-1 dispatcher today for the work they do.

Engagement ‘Furious 7’ keeps speed, tops box office with $60.6 million

NEW YORK (AP) — The high-oc-tane thriller “Furious 7” maintained speed in its second week, racing away with $60.6 million at North American theaters and bringing its box-office total to a robust $252.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Universal’s “Furious 7” more than lapped the competition. The only new wide release of the weekend, the rodeo romance “The Longest Ride,” opened with $13.5 million.

That was good enough for third place for the Fox release, which stars Clint Eastwood’s son, Scott Eastwood. In second was the DreamWorks ani-mated alien adventure “Home,” which pulled in $19 million in its third week of release.

But “Furious 7” continued to dom-inate the marketplace, dropping only 59 percent from its remarkable $147.2 million debut last weekend. Globally, it has already crossed $800 million in its first two weeks of release, according to Universal.

The weekend international total — an eye-popping $195 million — was boosted by the film premiering in China on Sunday, where it earned an estimated $68.6 million in just one day.

Over 10 days, “Furious 7,” which prominently features a tribute to the late actor Paul Walker, has already out-grossed all previous installments of the 14-year-old franchise.

At its current pace, “Furious 7” will likely become the highest grossing film in Universal’s history. The stu-dio’s “Jurassic Park,” from 1993, holds Universal’s mark with $1.02 billion worldwide.

It’s a summer blockbuster-sized result for “Furious 7,” but by opening in April, it has little competition in its way. On a much smaller scale, the critically acclaimed sci-fi film “Ex Machina” drew the year’s largest theater average of $62,489 in four theaters.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, the latest international num-bers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final domestic figures will be released today.

1. “Furious 7,” $60.6 million ($195 million international).

2. “Home,” $19 million ($15.2 mil-lion international).

3. “The Longest Ride,” $13.5 million ($3 million international).

4. “Get Hard,” $8.6 million ($1.4 million international).

5. “Cinderella,” $7.2 million ($12.6 million international).

6. “The Divergent Series: Insurgent,” $6.9 million ($7.9 million internation-al).

Rocky Mountain National Park faces crowd challengesR O C K Y M O U N TA I N

NATIONAL PARK, Colo. (AP) — Officials at Rocky Mountain National Park are considering clos-ing certain areas of the park on the busiest days if those areas get over-crowded, saying too many people and vehicles are putting a burden on trails, roads and wildlife.

The park had a record 3.4 million visitors last year, and officials have begun talking about ways to protect park resources.

Too many people in the park can affect the trails, roads and wildlife, but they also can hinder the natural experience park users are seeking with crowds and noise, said Rick Fedorchak, chief of interpretation and education.

“If you’re at Bear Lake on a summer

day, you’re not going to hear those natu-ral sounds until you’re a quarter mile up the road,” he said.

Weekends in the summer have long been busy in the park, but visitation has spread out through all seasons with snowshoeing and sledding in the winter, fall colors and elk rutting, spring flow-ers and, of course, beautiful summer days.

On Sept. 27, officials counted a record 13,295 vehicles, the Loveland Reporter-Herald reported (http://tinyurl.com/ln3zw2b).

“The weather was beautiful,” said Kyle Patterson, park spokeswoman. “The colors were amazing. The elk were rutting,” with their bugle calls that attract wildlife lovers from all over the country.

Park officials have already taken

some steps to reduce crowding.Shuttles run from locations in the

nearby town of Estes Park to prime stops in Rocky Mountain National Park to cut down on vehicles and emissions in the park.

The buses also create challenges with large groups of people dropped off in a single location at the same time, Fedorchak said.

Park rangers are urging people to visit on weekdays if they can, and to hike and climb in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the prime time from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. There are also signs that warn people when areas are full.

Patterson said officials do not antic-ipate implementing a one-in, one-out rule, and closures are not expected anytime soon.

Toddler disc jockey fascinates South African fansJOHANNESBURG (AP) — At first it seems like a fluke

— a 2-year-old playing with the knobs and buttons of a sophisticated music system. Yet, the tiny boy is in control of the big beat of the bass-heavy house music. He is South Africa’s youngest disc jockey, DJ AJ.

At a shopping mall appearance, a crowd gathers around the young boy as he bops his head to the beat, his large headphones slipping off. Adults whip out their cellphones to capture the moment while children just stare.

Oratilwe Hlongwane is still learning to put together words but the toddler is already able to select and play music from a laptop and has become a viral phenomenon on South Africa’s social media.

His mother, Refiloe Marumo, credits his father’s decision to buy an iPad for his then unborn son. Glen Hlongwane planned to download educational apps to speed up his child’s education. Hlongwane, a gymnastics coach and aspiring DJ, also downloaded a disc jockeying app for himself.

At about a year old, DJ AJ learned how to manipulate

the gadget. Not satisfied with number recognition games, he began to fiddle with his father’s DJ app.

The parents were blown away when their son, still in dia-pers, repeated what he had learned on the app on actual DJ equipment, playing with sound effects and bouncing between songs. A cellphone video of him playing went viral and now DJ AJ has nearly 25,000 Facebook fans.

His newfound fame has brought special appearances and sponsorship deals many older DJs dream of.

But celebrity has also brought some criticism as some accused his parents of abuse and profiting from their child’s precocious ability.

“I’m not going to exploit my kid,” said his father. DJ AJ’s parents will not allow him to play in clubs or at parties.

Hlongwane and Marumo are adamant that they will not force their son to be a DJ when he grows up, but say they believe his affinity for electronic equipment will probably decide his future.

Hlongwane said: “I can see a future Bill Gates here.”

Angela Lansbury, Kinks’ Davies win at UK’s Olivier Awards

.LONDON (AP) — An American classic directed by a Belgian and a musical about a very English rock band were the big winners at Britain’s Olivier theater awards Sunday — but it was an 89-year old theatri-cal Dame who brought the

house down.The Arthur Miller drama

“A View From the Bridge” and The Kinks musical “Sunny Afternoon,” won the most prizes, and there were roars of approval when Angela Lansbury took the best supporting actress trophy for playing scatter-brained psychic Madame Arcati in Noel Coward’s comedy “Blithe Spirit.”

“I am so infinitely grate-ful to have this baby in my hands. You have no idea,” said London-born Lansbury, who already has an honor-ary Oscar, five Tonys and a damehood, the female equiv-alent of a knighthood.

“Here I am creeping up to 90 and feeling like a million dollars,” said the “Murder, She Wrote” star, who first appeared onstage in the 1940s.

She said theater is “life — and thank God I’m still in it.”

“Sunny Afternoon,” the story of 1960s rockers The Kinks, took four priz-es including best new musi-cal and acting trophies for John Dagleish and George Maguire, who play battling brothers Ray and Dave Davies. The real-life Ray

Davies won the outstanding achievement in music prize for the play’s score.

He said the unruly North London lads in The Kinks were “four of the unlikeliest pop stars you”ll ever see.”

“People are the source of my material,” said Davies, whose songs include “Sunny Afternoon,” ”Waterloo Sunset” and “Lola.”

“So the next time you’re sitting in a park somewhere and you see someone like me looking at you — don’t phone the police.”

A bold, pared-down revival of “A View From the Bridge” won three prizes including best revival and best director, for Ivo van Hove.

Mark Strong was named best actor in a play for his slow-burning performance in Miller’s tragedy of blood and honor in Brooklyn.

Strong said the response to the play from audience members had been incred-ible.

“They don’t just want autographs anymore,” he said. “They want to talk about what they’re seeing and they want to kind of compare their own experi-

ences to what they’re seeing onstage.”

Mike Bartlett’s “King Charles III,” which imagines Prince Charles taking the throne with disastrous results, was named best new play.

“Thank you to the royal family for not closing us down for treason,” Bartlett said.

Another king, Henry VIII, was also crowned with an Olivier. Nathaniel Parker was named best supporting actor for playing the monarch in Hilary Mantel’s “Wolf Hall” saga, which has just trans-ferred to Broadway.

“Downton Abbey” star Penelope Wilton was named best actress in a play for the Nazi-era drama “Taken at Midnight.”

Rising star Katie Brayben won the prize for best actress in a musical for playing songwriter Carole King in “Beautiful.” Her co-star Lorna Want was named best supporting actress.

Founded in 1976, the awards honor achievements in London plays, musicals, dance and opera. Winners in most categories are chosen by a panel of stage profes-sionals and theatergoers.

Caffeine High: Space station getting Italian espresso maker

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The next space station grocery run will carry caffeine to a whole new level: Aboard the SpaceX supply ship is an authentic espresso machine straight from Italy.

SpaceX is scheduled to launch its unmanned rocket with the espresso maker — and 4,000 pounds of food, science research and other equipment — this afternoon.

The experimental espres-so machine is intended for International Space Station astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti of Italy. It was supposed to arrive in January, shortly after her arrival, so she could get some relief from the station’s instant cof-fee. But it ended up on the back burner after a station shipment from Virginia was lost in a launch explosion.

The espresso maker is dubbed ISSpresso — ISS standing for International Space Station. Italian coffee giant Lavazza joined forces with the Turin-based engi-neering company Argotec and the Italian Space Agency to provide a specially designed machine for use off the plan-et. NASA certified its safety.

NASA’s space station pro-gram deputy manager, Dan

Hartman, said it’s all part of making astronauts feel at home as they spend months — and even up to a year — in orbit. Already, Mission Control gives astronauts full access to email, phone calls, private video hookups, and live news and sports broad-casts.

“The psychological sup-port is very, very import-ant,” Hartman told report-ers Sunday. “If an espresso machine comes back and we get a lot of great comments from the crew … It’s kind of like the ice cream thing, right, when we fly ice cream every now and then. It’s just to boost spirits. Maybe some rough day, a scoop of ice cream gets them over that hump kind of thing.”

The SpaceX Dragon sup-ply ship also holds experi-ments for NASA’s one-year space station resident Scott Kelly, who moved in a couple weeks ago. Russian cosmo-naut Mikhail Kornienko also will remain on board until March 2016.

This will be the California-based SpaceX company’s seventh station supply run since 2012, all from Cape Canaveral.

For the third time, SpaceX

“Baby To Graduate Review”

Presbyterian Church

Jane (Miki Dull) and Tarzan (Skyler Whitaker) sing sweetly together as they begin a friendship. (Submitted photo)

Musical review

BY KATHRYN COOPER

What a lesson for our world today! Lincolnview’s production of “Tarzan” is a drama of two worlds that blend and clash but learn from the heartaches that result. Tarzan is a musical that tells the story of a human baby adopted by a gorilla family/tribe deep in the jungle. The original story was written by Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1914 and then was made into a Disney movie released in 1999. The Broadway musical version came on the scene in 2006. The musical score and lyrics were written by Phil Collins.

As you walk into the Civic Theater for this production, expect to be overwhelmed by the exotic set. With the intimate seating, you feel like you could be dancing along with the tribe. The music is energetic and full of life and it’s really difficult not to want to join in.

The jungle “father”, Kerchak (Braxton Matthews), stands strong defending his family against predators and outsiders, wanting only the best for them.

His sweet wife, Kala (Olivia Snyder), adds great dimension to the story with natural tal-ent and a lovely voice, desperately pleading to let the baby outsider in after grieving over a tragic incident.

The Ensemble lends strong voices and intensity to the decisions each character has

to make. Terk (Taite McKinney), Tarzan’s best friend in the jungle, is a joy to watch and listen to as he involves Tarzan in silly antics and serious thoughts.

Tarzan (Skyler Whitaker) is well cast as an innocent but powerful example of the “Noble Savage.” He and Jane (Miki Dull) sing sweetly together as they begin a friendship and Tarzan’s world is turned upside down. The other supporting characters, Father (Nick Motycka), Mother (Claire Clay), Porter-Jane’s father (Chandler Adams), Clayton (Jacob Pollock) and Snipes (Max Rice), as well as the young Tarzans (Connor Johnson, Kaden Hohman) all give their special touches to round out the action in the drama. The music and Ensemble give power to the story.

Kudos to Stacie Korte for the musical direction, to Kinsey Dobbelaere for helping with the lovely set, Kim Pollock for the cho-reography, Eric Miglin for running the sound and especially to Chad Kraner, director of the play, for his vision and time to bring this pro-duction to fruition.

Tickets are selling and there is only one weekend left to see this show. The only chance to see it may be Thursday as the final Saturday and Sunday shows are nearly out of tickets. Email [email protected] to reserve tickets.

Carpenter’s 2-run homer in 11th lifts Cards over Reds

By MARK SCHMETZERAssociated Press

CINCINNATI — The St. Louis Cardinals want leadoff bat-ter Matt Carpenter to drive the ball. He sure did Sunday.

Carpenter hit a 2-run homer off Kevin Gregg in the 11th inning, lifting St. Louis over Cincinnati 7-5 in a game that featured the major-league debut of Cuban right-hander Raisel Iglesias for the Reds.

Carpenter’s 392-foot drive to center on a full-count pitch from Gregg (0-1) followed Kolten Wong’s single and delighted Cardinals’ manager Mike Matheny.

“We’ve talked to him about utilizing his power,” Matheny said. “You’re going to see that from him from time to time.”

Carpenter’s go-ahead drive followed Jhonny Peralta’s 2-run, tying homer in the eighth off of Jumbo Diaz, which quieted the crowd of 41,446, Cincinnati’s third sellout of the 6-game homestand.

“That was huge,” Carpenter said. “He’s been swinging the bat well all season.”

Carlos Villanueva (1-0) pitched two innings, working out of a bases-loaded jam in the 10th by striking out Todd Frazier. St. Louis took two out of three in the series and has won 13 consecutive 3-game series against Cincinnati, putting a damper on a homestand that opened with four consecutive wins and frustrating second-year manager Bryan Price.

Cabrera rocks Cleveland, hits 2 homers in Tigers’ winBy TOM WITHERS

CLEVELAND — Nobody rocks Cleveland like Miguel Cabrera.

Detroit’s menacing slugger homered twice and drove in four runs as the Tigers moved to 6-0 for the first time in 30 years with an 8-5 win over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday.

Cabrera, who entered the series bat-ting just .182, hit a 2-run homer in the first inning off T.J. House (0-1) and J.D. Martinez added an insurance solo shot in the ninth as the Tigers finished off a series sweep, improving to 18-5 in Cleveland since 2013.

Cabrera went 4 for 4 with his first two homers of the season, a double and single. With Cabrera needing a triple for the cycle, Indians manager Terry Francona intentionally walked him in the eighth even though there was a run-ner on first.

During the 3-game series, he went 11 of 14 (.786) with six RBIs and raised his average to .520.

“He’s special, man. He’s special,” Tigers second baseman Ian Kinsler said. “He’s fun to watch and a game should be sold out just because of him. People should just want to come watch him hit. It’s incredible.”

Not to the Indians.Cabrera pounds Cleveland pitching

like no one else. For his career, he’s bat-ting .357 with 37 homers and 118 RBIs in 133 games against the Indians, who haven’t figured out a way to even slow him down. Cabrera has 23 homers — the most by any player — at Progressive Field, which had its right-field section remodeled during the winter. Cabrera

threatened to renovate left field with his two homers.

The Tigers are 6-0 for the first time since 1985 and they’ve served early notice that they’re going to give up their spot atop the AL Central without fight.

“I’ll put it in perspective,” manager Brad Ausmus said. “It’s the first week of the season and I’m not ready to throw any parties.”

The Tigers jumped to a 6-0 lead after two innings, giving Kyle Lobstein (1-0) a comfortable cush-ion. Joakim Soria worked the ninth for his second save.

The Indians had a rough opening weekend at home in their spec-tacularly remodeled ballpark. In addition to being swept by the division’s 4-time reigning champions, All-Star outfielder Michael Brantley missed two games with a back issue and Cleveland lost catcher Yan Gomes for at least six weeks with a sprained knee.

After the Indians pulled within 6-3 in the third, Cabrera led off the fourth with his second homer.

Francona said the Indians would have walked Cabrera when they could but there weren’t opportunities.

“He’s that good a hitter and when he feels that good at the plate, that’s a bad feeling,” Francona explained.

The top of Detroit’s lineup did the majority of the early damage, as the Tigers top five hitters went 6 for 6 with six runs, a homer and three walks in the first two innings.

Detroit didn’t let House get out of the second, rocking the left-hander for six runs and six hits in 1 1/3 innings — the shortest outing of his career.

Cabrera put the Tigers up 3-0 in

the first with a 410-foot shot onto the pedestrian plaza in left. No injuries were reported.

ACE MENDINGDetroit’s Justin Verlander (strained

right triceps) threw a bullpen session with no discomfort Sunday and is expected to pitch in a simulated game Wednesday in Pittsburgh. Verlander threw about 45 pitches including cur-

veballs.TRAINER’S ROOMTigers: DH Victor Martinez

was in the lineup despite leav-ing Saturday’s game in the sev-enth inning with a left leg injury. Martinez appeared to hurt himself on an overswing. He hit an RBI single and gingerly jogged to first

before he was replaced by a pinch-run-ner. Martinez has had multiple surger-ies on his left knee, most recently in February.

Indians: Brantley missed his fourth game with a back issue. Francona added Brantley felt “slightly better” after rest-ing Saturday and believes two more days — the Indians are off today — of rest will help. Francona remains hopeful Brantley won’t go on the disabled list but hasn’t ruled it out.

UP NEXTTigers: RHP Anibal Sanchez starts

as Detroit opens a 3-game interleague series in Pittsburgh. He blanked Minnesota on three hits over 6 2/3 innings in his season debut.

Indians: After an off-day, RHP Carlos Carrasco starts the opener of a 2-game home series with the White Sox. Carrasco struck out 10 in his first start last week, one day after signing a 4-year, $22 million contract.

Jordan Spieth, 21, captures Masters victory for the ages

By DOUG FERGUSONAssociated Press

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Jordan Spieth got more than redemption and a green jack-et Sunday. He took his place among the best in the game with a Masters victory for the ages.

One year after Spieth lost a bid to become the young-est Masters champion, the 21-year-old Texan turned in one of the most domi-nant wins ever at Augusta National. He never let any-one get closer to him than three shots after his record start. He never gave anyone much hope on Sunday.

Spieth closed with a 2-under 70, missing a 5-foot par putt on the final hole that would have set yet another record. Instead, he tied the score set by Tiger Woods in 1997 at 18-under 270.

“This was the ultimate goal in my golf life,” Spieth said.

For all the talk about the Grand Slam bid by Rory McIlroy and the return of Woods, this week was about the arrival of another star.

“It’s awfully impressive,” McIlroy said after finishing

fourth. “It’s nice to get your major tally up and running at an early stage in your career. It’s great to see, great for the game, and I’m sure there will be many more.”

Spieth became the first wire-to-wire winner at the Masters since Raymond Floyd in 1976, and this might have been even more special. Craig Woods in 1941 is the only other Masters champion who led by at least three shots from the opening round to the trophy pre-sentation.

Phil Mickelson tried to make a run. So did Justin Rose. Neither got closer than three shots at any point, and it wasn’t long before Spieth was making another birdie putt to take the drama out of the back nine.

Mickelson (69) and Rose (70) tied for second. It was the 10th time Mickelson has been runner-up in a major. Woods jarred his right wrist then he struck wood under the pine straw on the ninth

hole. He recovered and closed with a 73, 13 shots behind.

Spieth won for the third time on the PGA Tour and fifth time worldwide. He will rise to No. 2 in the world rankings, still a ways to go to catch McIlroy at the top. When McIlroy won back-to-

back majors last year to establish himself as the game’s best play-er, the quest was to find a rival.

Spieth pro-vided the answer on perhaps the biggest stage in the sport with his record-setting week at Augusta.

“I thought today might be

easier having played with the

lead on Saturday. It wasn’t,” Spieth said. “It’s the most incredible week of my life. This is as great as it gets in our sport. … I’m still kind of shock a little bit.”

And he will keep the edi-tors of the Masters record book busy. Among the marks he established this week:

— The 36-hole record at

14-under 130.— The 54-hole record at

16-under 200.— The most birdies for

the tournament at 28.— The lowest opening

round by a champion at 64.— The youngest player

to lead after the opening round.

“He has no weaknesses,” Mickelson said. “He doesn’t overpower the golf course, but he plays the course stra-tegically well. He plays all the shots properly. And he has that ability to focus and see things clear when the pressure is on and perform at his best when the pressure is on.

“That’s something that you really can’t teach,” he said. “Some players are able to do it, some players aren’t. And he is.”

Spieth showed early he was up to challenge. Rose, starting the final round four shots behind, rolled in a 10-foot birdie putt on the first hole, and Spieth calmly made his birdie putt from just inside him. Spieth went out in 35 to build his lead to five shots, and one putt later, the Masters effectively was over.

‘Cats defuse Rockets in softball twin-bill

By JIM METCALFEDHI Media Sports Editor

[email protected]

PANDORA — Sometimes the game of fast-pitch soft-ball is simple: catch, field, throw and hit.

Jefferson’s crew did that well — as well as show extreme patience at the plate — and was rewarded with a 23-2, 16-4 twin-bill sweep (both in five innings) on a brilliant yet windy Saturday morning/afternoon at Pandora-Gilboa High School.

In game 1, the Wildcats had 15 hits, worked their way for 10 free passes and took advantage of 11 wild pitches and eight miscues.

The Lady Wildcats (2-3 after the 2 contests) got start-ed right away in game 1 — sending 15 batters to the dish and scoring 10 times against Lady Rocket starter Brittany Riegle; they used nine wild pitches, four walks, three crucial errors (leading to 9 unearned runs) and four hits — with Danielle Harman’s single scoring two and Claire Thompson and Shayla Rice each doubling for one run batted in — to their benefit. In the process, leadoff hitter Sarah Thitoff (4 runs, 2 RBIs) and No. 2 hitter Thompson (2-for-5, 3 runs, 2 RBIs) each scored twice at the top of the order; eight of the regulars in the lineup scored at least once in the first frame.

The top of the second frame was almost a carbon copy, save the Red and White “only” plating nine and send-ing 14 to the dish. This time, they used eight hits — two each by Kaylin Hartsock (5 runs scored) and Harman (4-for-4, 3 runs, 3 runs batted in) and especially a 2-run double down the right-field line by Rice (3-for-5, 4 RBIs) — two free passes and an error to go up 19-0 after two innings. This despite the fact that Wildcat head coach Josiah Stober began to play station-to-station ball in an effort to not run the score up even more.

The Lady Rockets (0-6) finally got to Jefferson starter Thompson in the third with two hits: Alysee Augsburger led off with a single. Eventually, she would be throw out at home by third baseman Kylee Haehn. Kristen Mullins knocked in Madi Dulaney (walk, wild pitch, fielder’s choice) for P-G’s first run.

The visitors made it 22-1 in the visitor fourth with the benefit of no hits: three bases-on-balls and two mis-cues were the culprit. Jessica Pimpas got an RBI on a 1-out bases-loaded walk — ending Riegle’s pitching in the open-er and bringing in Mullins — and Rice bounced out for the third run.

P-G made it 22-2 in the home fourth: a Reigle single, two wild pitches and a Paiten Dulaney groundout.

Delphos added the final run of the contest in the fifth on a 1-out walk to Hartsock, a double to left center by

Harman and a 2-out error on a grounder by Thitoff.

In the nightcap, the Lady ‘Cats only had seven hits but managed nine walks and made the most of eight wild pitches and five errors.

It began with a 3-run first against Rocket starter Mullins, keyed by two errors, a walk and two hits: one a 2-run single to center by Maddy Jettinghoff (2-for-4, 3 RBIs) that plated Thitoff (3 runs, 2 walks) and Thompson (2 runs, 2 walks). The third run scored on a groundout by Kiersten Teman (Hartsock; 2 walks, 2 runs).

Delphos went up 7-0 with a 4-run second. They had one hit — a 1-out single by ninth hitter Sophie Wilson (2-for-3, 3 runs) — and four straight walks: Thitoff, Thompson, Pimpas and Hartsock; to plated Wilson and Thitoff. Two wild pitches plated Thompson and Pimpas and finished off Mullins (for Reigle).

P-G got two back in the home half against Teman on three hits, including run-scor-ing knocks by Katlin Fortman (Heidi Cherry) and Jordan Guthrie (Madi Dulaney).

The Red and White bat-ted around in a 5-run third, using three hits — including a run-scoring triple to the right-field corner by Pimpas (Thitoff) and a single by Jettinghoff (Hartsock) — a walk, a sacrifice, a wild pitch and two errors to also even-tually get Mackenzie Harvey, Wilson and Thitoff in for a 12-2 advantage.

The Lady Rockets added one more to their side in the home half: an error on Reigle’s grounder, a stolen base and two more errors.

Jefferson pushed three more across in the fourth for a 15-3 edge: a single by Harman, a hit batter (Harvey), two wild pitches to score Harman, back-to-back free passes (Wilson and Thitoff) and run-scoring groundouts by Thompson and Pimpas.

The hosts got their final run of the day in the home fourth: a 2-out hustling dou-ble by Shaha Hovest and a run-scoring single to left by Mullins.

Teman led off the Jefferson fifth by being hit by a pitch and scored on two wild pitches and a groundout by Harman.

“We had a great overall day. We’ve been working on our approach to the game, especially at the plate,” Stober observed. “We put the ball in play and yet showed great patience. We fielded the ball pretty well except for one inning and were in good posi-tion. We pitched well both games; it’s all about throw-ing strikes and letting our defense make plays behind us.”

Only shove by Harvick this time at Texas comes on the track

Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas — The only shove by Kevin Harvick in Texas this time came on the track.

With 20 laps left in the Duck Commander 500 won by Jimmie Johnson, Harvick tapped the rear of Joey Logano’s car to push past the defending race winner.

“You knock them out of the way, and that’s the chance you take when you block,” said Harvick, whose runner-up finish late Saturday night marked the ninth time in 10 races he was in the top two.

“It’s the end of the race. I blocked him and he got into me. I get it,” said Logano, who kept his car off the wall but quickly slipped several spots before recovering to finish fourth. “Early in the race that’s not acceptable. End of the race, we’re racing for the win. I’d do the same thing.”

But remember, it’s still early in the NASCAR Sprint Cup season — not the eighth of 10 races in the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship as Texas is in the fall.

Five months ago, when Johnson also celebrated in Victory Lane, Harvick helped escalate a post-race melee in Texas when he pushed Brad Keselowski toward Jeff Gordon on pit road after those two drivers made contact late while racing for the lead.

Johnson joined season points leader Harvick as the only two-time winners in 2015. He took the lead for good in his 72nd career win on a third-to-first pass with 14 laps remain-ing on the 1 1/2-mile, high-banked track.

It was Johnson’s fifth Cup victory at Texas, extending his track record with his first in a spring race there. He held off Harvick and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. for his fourth win in the last six races at the place where he has led 1,017 laps in his career.

“The end of the race was nutty,” Johnson said. “Just a fun

race. … A very good night for our sport, a lot of great racing.”And the only fireworks afterward were the ones lighting up

the Texas sky following the first Cup night race of the season.Harvick, Logano and Martin Truex Jr., who finished ninth,

are the only drivers to finish in the top 10 in all seven races this season, and they remained 1-2-3 in points. Keselowski got his sixth top 10 by finishing fifth behind fellow Team

Penske driver Logano.Jamie McMurray, who had taken only two tires

for the final restart on lap 314 of 334, was still lead-ing Harvick when they slid high through Turns 3 and 4. That left the bottom wide open for Johnson, who figured he would at least get past Harvick.

“I thought, ‘Man, we’re going to get them both here,’” said Johnson, who did for the 29th and last lead change of the night.

He led nine times for 128 laps.Before crossing the line eighth in Martinsville

two weeks ago in the previous Cup race, Harvick had finished first or second in eight in a row. That was the longest such stretch since seven-time series champion Richard Petty did it 11 consecutive times

in 1975. The streak for Harvick started with a run-ner-up finish to Johnson at Texas in November.

“Maybe we’ll just save the first-place finish for the Chase race,” Harvick said.

Earnhardt finished third for the third time this season, bouncing back from a 36th-place showing at Martinsville, and is seventh in points.

With a season-opening Daytona 500 win last year, Earnhardt immediately secured a spot for the 16-driver Chase. There is no early victory this time, but 20 races remain before the Chase drivers are locked into place. That is plenty of time to get a win, if that is indeed a necessity.

Youngpeter fans 15 in 1-hitterBy LARRY HEIING

DHI Media [email protected]

LIMA — The Lima Central Catholic Thunderbirds faced a Delphos baseball team for the second time in less than 24 hours over the weekend.

On Friday night at Delphos Jefferson, the T-Birds pounded out 12 hits result-ing in 17 runs.

On Saturday at Players Field, Jacob Youngpeter limited LCC to one hit as the Blue Jays won 6-1.

The game started as a pitchers’ duel between Youngpeter and Anthony Venturella for the T-Birds as both dom-inated the opposition the first time through the batting order.

The first hit of the game didn’t occur until the top of the fourth inning as St. John’s Eric Vogt rocketed a deep drive to the center-field fence and advanced to third on a wild pitch; the Jays had runners on the corners when Youngpeter drew a 1-out walk. Josh Warnecke drove home the first run of the “holy war” with a single to plate Vogt. St. John’s coach Jerry Jackson knew that runs would be hard to come by in this duel and gave the steal sign to his base-runners. First, Youngpeter stole third and Warnecke moved into scoring position swiping second. Senior Jorden Boone beat out an infield hit deep in the hole at short as the Jays loaded the bases. Aaron Reindel got the job done with a grounder to second, scoring Youngpeter. St. John’s scored again as Warnecke came home on a Venturella wild pitch and led 3-0.

On the mound, Youngpeter struck out five Thunderbirds in a row, putting his game total for Ks in double digits at 10 in only five innings.

St. John’s tacked on another run in the fifth off of T-Bird reliever Bitler Rumer as Vogt got aboard with his second hit of the afternoon and Boone added his second base knock for a run batted in giving the Jays a 4-0 lead.

LCC’s only run of the game came in the fifth inning as Jacob Judy reached with a 2-out walk and scored on a single by Joseph Eisele. Youngpeter’s battery-mate, Jaret Jackson, gunned down Brad Stolly attempting to steal to erase a rare Thunderbird base-runner.

Youngpeter appeared to get stron-ger as the game wore on into the sixth inning, recording a pair of strikeouts. Catcher Jackson also displayed his great throwing arm, nailing Venturella on a steal attempt for his second punch out.

The Blue Jays took advantage of wildness from the T-Birds’ third pitch-er of the game, Ethan O’Connor, in

the seventh inning. Austin Heiing led off with a walk and came all away around on three straight wild pitches by O’Connor. Seth Linder also walked and quickly stole second, followed by the third walk of the inning as Jackson went to first. The Jays scored their second run of the inning without even laying the bat on the ball as Linder stole third and came home on the overthrow.

Lima Central Catholic’s batters simply couldn’t catch up to Youngpeter’s fastball in the seventh inning, going down in order on three straight strikeouts.

“Youngpeter was overpowering this afternoon,” said Coach Jackson. “It was an outstanding pitching perfor-mance backed up by great defense by his teammates. Our team also had some timely hits today against some tough Thunderbird pitching. We have a stretch of five games next week and Youngpeter saved a lot of arms with his performance today.”

Youngpeter faced only 26 Thunderbird batters in the game. His mastery on the hill resulted in 15 strike-outs and scattered four walks for his

second win of the young season.St. Johns improves to 4-2 on the

season and entertains Putnam County League foe Kalida tonight at 5 p.m.

“It was a nice homestand but today was a game we should have won,” said Price, who joined the team in 2010 as pitching coach. “Since I’ve been here, the Cardinals has been a team that has beaten us. At the end of the World Series, no one cares how many times you beat a certain team, but to reverse that, yes, it’s important to me.”

Iglesias allowed three runs and five hits in five innings with two walks and four strikeouts. Signed last July to a $27 million, 7-year contract, he became the first Reds player since Mike Leake in 2010 to reach the majors without play-ing a minor-league game.

Iglesias gave up two hits and a walk through the first four innings, then fell behind 3-1 in the fifth. Yadier Molina doubled leading off and Carpenter hit a 2-run single and scored from first on Jason Heyward’s double into the right-field corner. Heyward was thrown out trying to stretch his hit into a triple, with

second baseman Brandon Phillips mak-ing the relay after Jay Bruce’s throw.

St. Louis starter Carlos Martinez struck out a career-high eight in six innings, giving up two runs and four hits.

Bruce led off the second with his second homer of the season and Billy Hamilton cut the Cardinals’ lead to 3-2 in the sixth with his first homer.

Frazier had a 2-run single and Phillips followed with an RBI hit to give Cincinnati a 5-3 lead in the seventh.

BREAK TIMEThe Reds varied their starting eight

for the first time this season, with Brennan Boesch replacing Marlon Byrd in left field and Brayan Pena taking over for Devin Mesoraco at catcher. Pena was the last position player to play for the first time this season. Byrd and Mesoraco both were 2-for-20 (.100) in the first five games.

TIMEOUTReds manager Bryan Price was eject-

ed by crew chief Joe West in the top of the eighth after Jon Jay was hit by

a pitch. The ejection was the third for Price, who is in his second season as manager.

TRAINER’S ROOMCardinals: Catcher Tony Cruz was

expected to rejoin the team in St. Louis on Sunday night. Cruz started paternity leave Friday.

Reds: Catcher Brayan Pena left the game in the seventh after injuring his left shoulder in a fall at first base while beating out a leadoff bunt.

ON DECKCardinals: Adam Wainwright will

pitch for the first time in eight days when he starts St. Louis’s home opener today against Milwaukee. The right-hander’s second start of the season was pushed back by last Tuesday’s rainout in Chicago.

Reds: The Reds get their first look at under-renovation Wrigley Field when they open their first trip of the season today in Chicago. Leake is 4-0 with a 1.71 ERA in his last four starts against the Cubs.

Local Roundup


“It’s not a real serious sit-uation that’s kind of bugging you but it’s in the back of your mind.” Earnhardt said. “One thing I don’t know about this new system is: Will we have 16 winners this year? I don’t know. It don’t look like it the way Harvick’s running.

“If he wins enough races, the odds are not really good to have 16 winners. And if we don’t win a race, I think we’re a good enough team to put enough points together to get one of them spots in

the back. So I’m probably worrying for nothing.”

James Hinchcliffe wins wet Indy GP of Louisiana

AVONDALE, La. — James Hinchcliffe cruised to what may go down as the easiest victory of his IndyCar career Sunday at the inau-gural Indy Grand Prix of Louisiana.

The Canadian had a wet track and a fortunate pit strategy to thank for his fourth career victory.

Hinchcliffe, racing for Schmidt Peterson Motorsports, pitted only once on Lap 13 and then

spent much of his day leading the field around the NOLA Motorsports Park under a full-course yellow flag.

Because of several wrecks in the traffic behind him, 25 of the 47 laps were run under caution. The race was supposed to run 75 laps but ended — fittingly under cau-tion — as a timed race.

The last chance the driv-ers had to race under green was cut short by a spec-tacular 3-car wreck involv-ing Simon Pagenaud, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Sebastien Bourdais early in the first lap of a restart with less than 10

minutes remaining.The wreck began when

Hunter-Reay squeezed Pagenaud onto a wet spot, which caused the Frenchmen to slide onto grass and then back on track at the next turn, where he essential-ly broadsided Hunter-Reay and drove him into Bourdais before all three cars slid back off track and into a tire wall.

Pagenaud was out of his car quickly and first informed Bourdais what had happened, then appeared to chastise Hunter-Reay.

Movie Review

Friendly divorce may be best for unhappy marriageDEAR ABBY: I’m 38,

married for 16 years and the mother of two small children. I was recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer and had a hys-terectomy to remove it.

My husband has cheated more than once in the past, and since my recovery I have realized I never forgave him for it. I kept quiet and pre-tended I didn’t know. Now I am bitter, angry and hurt. He goes out and stays out con-stantly. He does help with the kids, but I know I don’t be-long here. I know what I want, and it’s not this life with him anymore.

I know I can leave at any time, but I feel my children deserve to be raised with both parents in the home since nei-ther of us had that when we were growing up. (My father died. His parents divorced when he was a toddler.) His family has been my family since the beginning of our re-lationship.

I want my children to grow up thinking marriage is for-ever and growing old with your partner is great. I want them to have what I did not. If we are civilized and “pretend to be in love,” would my chil-dren be OK? I’m willing to stay in this marriage until they are old enough and on their

own before I walk away.Will they understand that

I sacrificed my happiness for them to live with both par-ents? I want to be in love and happy, but would rather raise my babies with their father than someone else. Your ad-vice is greatly appreciated. -- WILLING IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR WILLING: OK. First, let’s talk about your di-agnosis and the treatment you had. Being diagnosed with a life-threatening illness can cause anyone to rethink how one has been living one’s life. It can cause all sorts of repressed emotions to boil to the surface, causing anger, bitterness and hurt. Before making any life-changing de-cisions, please talk with your doctor, a marriage counselor and your husband about those feelings.

If you think that staying in an unhappy marriage with a man who goes out and stays out constantly while pretend-ing to be in love would be healthy for your children, I’d be less than honest if I didn’t warn you that you would be doing them a disservice. Even if you could pull it off and the kids didn’t sense the tension between you and your hus-band, how do you think they’ll feel when they are older and

realize what they were led to believe was a happy marriage was a lie?

Because you feel so strongly about raising them with your husband, my ad-vice is to make every effort to clear the air and work out your marital problems with him. That said: It takes two to tango. If he is unwilling to cooperate, all of you might be happier if you separated and agreed to an amicable divorce and shared custody. I’m not saying it would be easy, but it can be done if both parties are willing.

DEAR ABBY: I recent-ly received an invitation to a small wedding that specified the attire to be “dressy casu-al.” I’m thinking of wearing a pair of nice black slacks, a white sweater and a black leather jacket.

Is it appropriate to wear black at a wedding ceremo-ny? And who is the dress code guru who decides these mat-ters? -- DAN ON THE WEST COAST

DEAR DAN: MY “dress code guru” for weddings is Emily Post. According to Em-ily, “dressy casual attire” for men is a seasonal sport coat or blazer and slacks; a dress shirt, casual button-down shirt, open-collar or polo shirt; op-tional tie and loafers or loaf-er-style shoes with socks. The rule about not wearing black to a wedding was discarded years ago, and it applied to women -- not men.

VERSAL UCLICK

Directed by Robert SchwentkePG-13

What’s in the box?That’s the question that drives the plot of

the second movie based on author Veronica Roth’s young-adult Divergent trilogy about love, loyalty, politics and identity in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic Chicago.

Shalene Woodley returns as Tris, a “Divergent” who doesn’t fit into any of the dystopian society’s other rigidly prescribed factions based on personality and aptitude: Abnegation (selflessness), Amity (peacefulness), Candor (honesty), Dauntless (bravery) and Erudite (intelligence). As the movie opens, the subdivided system has fallen apart, insurrection has swept across the land, and the ruthless Erudite overlord (Kate Winslet) blames it all on rebel Divergents.

Peace, we’re told, can only be obtained by opening a rune-covered, boxed-up do-dad containing a secret message “from the founders” of the long-ago, walled-in society that that has ultimately disintegrated into chaos and ruin. And the only person who can open the box—through a series of grueling, simulated tests, or “sims,” that are like wiring into a life-or-death computer game—is a Divergent.

Winslet’s icy CEO/empress orders her minions to round up Divergents until she finds one who can pass—survive—all five sims, each based on one of the factions. What’s in the box, that drives her to coldly sacrifice others to obtain it? The search is futile…until they find Tris, the purest, most “divergent” of all the Divergents.

Some viewers have faulted the Divergent series as being too derivative of The Hunger Games, which—fair enough—also featured great-looking, well-coiffed, repressed young people in a grim future world, fighting each other, held against their will and railing against an unjust, repressive, totalitarian regime. But every franchise of anything has its fans, and Roth’s trio of novels—like The Hunger Games—will also be stretched into four films before it finally wraps up in 2017.

Insurgent, in addition to Woodley, finds several other young actors returning to their roles, including hunks Theo James, Ansel Elgort and the series’ true secret weapon, Miles Teller, who provides much-needed levity—and what little real surprise there is to be found in the thin storyline. Octavia Spencer and Naomi Watts are newly aboard, and their relatively seasoned maturity frequently gives them the air of grownups navigating a bustling high school hallway.

The plot is convoluted and confusing, moving at a gloopy glacial pace punctuated by spasms and spurts of running, chasing, shooting and scuffling. The special effects, when Tris is hooked up to the sims contraption, are bombastic, jarring blowouts that pummel, rather than dazzle, the senses. Some of the large interior scenes seem designed, propped, costumed and photographed less like pieces of a dystopian drama and more like a Broadway musical—I halfway expected someone to break into a song called “Beyond the Wall” or “United We Diverge.”

What’s in the box? Oh, that: The setup for two more movies!

—Neil Pond, Parade Magazine

Hot youth reunite in grim dystopia for part two of ‘Divergent’ trilogy. Starring Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, Kate Winslet and Theo James.

Do just one thing

by Danny SeoThe most-used ap-

pliance that has the shortest lifecycle is the coffeemaker. The reason why is simple: They get used often, and they are usually left on for hours at a time. To maximize the lifespan, clean it by mixing equal parts water and white vin-egar in the coffeepot, and run it through the whole process, as if you were brewing a pot of joe. This re-moves trace minerals and buildup inside. Then run a whole pot of regular water to re-move the faint taste of vinegar. If you can, don’t allow a freshly made pot of coffee to sit on a burner all day long; this wastes energy and wears out the machine.

Monday, April 13, 2015You’ll tend to be ahead of

your time this year. Give oth-ers a chance to catch up, and be prepared to express your ideas explicitly if you want others to participate in your plans. Your vision must be crystal clear if you want assis-tance. Believe in yourself.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The most important re-lationships are often the ones that get taken for granted. If you have been neglecting someone, make amends and vow to be more attentive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can avoid tension in the workplace if you stick to your own duties. Don’t get drawn into debates with col-leagues or superiors if you want to get ahead.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone will have a profound impact on your life and future. Learn more about a hobby or service that intrigues you by surfing the Internet or visiting the library.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Pay attention to what your friends, family and col-leagues want and need. Pa-tience will be required when dealing with elders. Turn a negative into a positive by learning from someone’s valu-able experience.

Memory loss could be a sign that an individ-ual’s medication needs to be adjusted. Several types of drugs can affect memory, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including: sleeping pills; antihistamines; anti-anxiety, cholesterol-lowering and diabetes med-ications; antidepressants; and certain painkillers.

Nutritional deficiencies can also cause memory issues. A lack of sufficient B12, a B vitamin essen-tial for normal nerve function, can lead to confu-sion and dementia. On a daily basis, people need 2.4 micrograms of the vitamin in their diets from natural sources like dairy products, meat and fish.

Significant stress or anxiety can lead to problems with attention and memory which is common for people juggling home and work responsibilities and are not sleeping well. Usually, easing stress can improve memory. Untreated chronic stress can lead to depres-sion, which also affects brain function.

“Stress, anxiety and depression are psy-chological aspects of memory loss. Someone who is socially isolated and does not engage their brain may have issues with memory,” Pollitz said. “Alcoholism and substance abuse can also affect memory.”

Other conditions that can lead to problems with memory include infections.

“There can be memory issues with urinary tract, kidney and other outward infections,” Pollitz detailed. “I was working in a facility; a lady who knew me said hello to me one

day and the next, she had no idea who I was. The build-up of toxins from the infections increases memory loss and confusion.”

Pollitz said head injuries, specifically con-cussions, may include confusion and trouble with memory and concentration. “I talk with kids who play soccer and football about pre-vention,” she said. “I talk with seniors (elder-ly) about preventing falls and educate them on exercising to maintain good balance.”

She said anesthesia from surgeries and chemotherapy drugs can also have long-term effects on memory.

“Medication is a big factor in memory loss. Everyone is different and any drug an indi-vidual takes — whether it is a new prescrip-tion or a combination — can cause memory problems and side effects,” Pollitz explained.

According to Alzheimer’s.org, memory screenings make sense for people concerned about memory loss; those who feel they are experiencing warning signs of dementia; whose family and friends have noticed changes in them or who believe they are at risk due to a family history of Alzheimer’s disease or a related ill-ness. Screenings are a useful tool for people who do not have concerns now but want to gauge their memory now verses future comparisons.

A memory screening is not used to diag-nose any particular illness and does not replace consultation with a qualified physi-cian or other healthcare professional.

“It would do her well electorally to be firmly on the side of average work-ing people who are working harder than ever and still not getting ahead,” said econo-mist Robert Reich, a former labor secretary during the

Clinton administration who has known Hillary Clinton for nearly five decades.

The GOP did not wait for her announcement to begin their campaign against her. The party’s chairman, Reince Priebus, has outlined plans for a broad effort to try to under-mine her record as secretary

of state while arguing that her election would be like giving Obama a “third term.”

Republicans have jumped on Clinton’s use of a person-al email account and server while she was secretary of state, as well as her handling of the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya.
