BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer [email protected] Scientists who research and try to explain the benefits of humor are learning the reasons behind what people already know; laughing makes people feel better. Humor is a mind, body and social experience that gets people’s emotions and bodies involved in the act and connects people to other people. One study found the average kindergartner laughs 300 times a day but adults only laugh 17 times a day on average. Humor therapy uses the power of smiles and laughter to aid healing by helping people find ways to make themselves and others smile and laugh more. When thinking of humor therapy, picture clowns in the chil- dren’s ward of a hospital cheering up ill children. There are hospitals that have humor carts that provide funny materials for people of any age and nurses have learned the value of providing a good laugh to those they care for. Research of the relation between the mind and the body, especially in connection with the body’s ability to heal (a field called psychoneuroimmunology), shows laughter appears to change brain chemistry and may boost the immune system. Board member of the Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor Steve Wilson said when looking at all the research on laugh- ter, it strongly leads us to the conclusion that one of the main purposes of laughter is the discharge of tension. “Laughter also energizes people,” Wilson said. “If you laugh long enough and hard enough, you reverse the physiology of stress. Anything that can reduce the ill effects of stress is an ally in health and happiness.” Wilson and other researchers say laugh therapy works because the brain can’t tell if we’re laughing for real or faking it. He says there are two kinds of laughter: dushane, or genuine laughter and nondushane, or the forced kind. Cognitively, to find things humorous, peo- ple need to be able to shift perspective, per- ceive inconsistencies and contradiction and be delighted by an unexpected punchline which causes people to shift into a playful frame of mind. When amused, people are in a state of observation, giving them psychological space or distance from circumstances affecting their daily lives. Mirth is the unique positive emotion asso- ciated with humor and can range from mild amusement to side-splitting hilarity. Partly cloudy today with highs in the mid 70s.

Mini Relay honors lives lost to cancer, celebrates lifeBY STEPHANIE GROVES

DELPHOS — The ominous weather did not dampen the spirits of the hundreds of people participat-ing in the 11th annual Mini Relay for Life Friday morning. Students and teachers from Franklin, St. John’s and Landeck schools, cancer survivors, teachers, parents and grandparents gathered to remember all the people

who lost their fight with, are battling with or have survived cancer this past year.

During the emotionally-charged opening ceremony, Franklin and Landeck Elementary School’s Principal Mark Fuerst took the podi-um and reflected on a very special lady, Pat Rode, who lost her battle with cancer this past April. As he spoke, the crowd fell silent knowing his words expressed what so many people were feeling about Rode.

“She was a very special lady who touched many, many lives during her 30-year career as a cook at Landeck Elementary School,” Fuerst said tear-fully.

Blue helium-filled balloons were then released by students honoring Rode’s memory.

St. John’s Elementary Principal Nathan Stant spoke next and said as a student at Landeck, he had fond mem-ories of the great meals Rode served.

Stant began a heartwarming

description of his friend and col-league Chris Kemper, who died from cancer in December of 2013.

was the word she lived by when she found out she had cancer in 1997.

After hearing the words, she was scared and relied on her faith to get her through the ups and downs that she knew she was about to face.

She had surgery to remove the cancer, followed by six months of chemotherapy. She went to the cancer special-ist every three months, then it was lowered to once every six months, to once a year and since last year, she doesn’t have to go back.

“I can’t complain,” she said. “I felt good and I never got sick from the chemo.”

She was also happy because she didn’t lose her hair during chemo.

Grothouse thinks she was lucky and still thanks God every day for helping her through it. Mary Grothouse shows off the 13 medals she

has received from each Relay for Life she has participated in. (Delphos Herald/Erin Cox)

Everyone enjoys a brid-al show, especially a vin-tage show. Members of the Landeck C L of C’s were entertained with a vintage bridal show put on by the members of the social com-mittee at the April meeting.

Eight gowns were modeled by four high school girls and a little flower girl. Laura Ladd

was the narrator for the show. As Laura introduced the models, she gave a descrip-tion of the gowns and told what was happening in the state and the world during that time period.

The first gown on the program was worn by Mary Matilda Miller, when she married John Eickholt

in 1912. Due to the frag-ile nature of the fabric, this gown was gently shown to the guests instead of being modeled. Mary and John Eickholt were parents of Calista Eickholt, who mar-ried Arnie Miller.

The year of 1912 was a busy time. The Chinese Republic was formed. New Mexico became the 47th state of the Union and Arizona became the 48th state. The South Pole was discovered. Dixie cups were invented. The Titanic sank. The world’s first cannery opened in England. Bull Moose Teddy Roosevelt was shot while campaigning in Milwaukee and the first street car was introduced to San Francisco, California. That was before the First World War. Then 30 years later we were in another war, World War II from 1941 to 1945. In Germany, the Jews suffered great-ly…..many, many Jews were sent to the concentra-tion camps, never to return. On the home front…..we had rationing of gas, tires, sugar, meat, cheese, but-ter, shoes, cars, etc. We also had prayer hours in the churches and an occasion-al black-out. That was all mild, compared to what our young men went through fighting the Nazi regime in Germany and in the Pacific with Japan.

1946The next gown was mod-

eled by Sydney Fischbach. She was wearing the gown of Rita Elwer, when she married Omer Pothast in 1946.

The war was over. In the USA and in the world, the

first US rocket left the earth and went up 50 miles. The first bikini bathing suit was displayed in Paris. The first mobile long-distance car-to-car telephone conversation took place. The first electric blanket was manufactured and sold for $39.50. Sixty-eight years later you can still get an electric blanket for $39.99. Nazi leaders were found guilty of war crimes and Harry Truman was the first US President to travel in a submerged sub.

1949The next gown was Calista

Eickholt’s, when she married Arnie Miller in 1949. It was modeled by Rachel Kroeger.

Very few people had TVs in 1949. NBC and CBS began broadcasting, 45 RPM records were made and Dragnet was first broadcast on radio.

1952Marie Diemer wed Tom

Kahle on 14 June 1952. Her gown was modeled by Lexi Hoersten.

In national news of 1952, the “Today Show” pre-miered. Mr. Potato Head was the first toy advertised on TV. “Guiding Light” soap opera moved from radio to TV and Birdseye sold the first frozen peas.

1964Catherine Ruen married

Melvin Heitz on 1 August 1964. Her dress was modeled by Lauren Ladd.

In the nation …..John Kennedy was assassinat-ed in 1963 and Lyndon B. Johnson became president. In 1964 LBJ declared “War on Poverty.” The Beatles recorded “I Want to Hold Your Hand”. GI Joe debuts as a popular American boy’s toy and the first Ford Mustang came off the assembly line and sold for $2,368.

1970On 18 April 1970, Jolene

Klima was wed to Ralph Bockey and Laura Warnecke Ladd was the miniature bride for her aunt.

Also in 1970 — “All My Children” premiered on TV. The US voting age was changed from 21 to 18. President Nixon signed a bill limiting cigarette advertise-ment. Elton John made his first U. S. appearance. The “Mary Tyler Moore Show“ premiers and Monday Night Football premiers. We had our first Earth Day in 1970.

1972

On 27 May 1972, Dot Klaus married Doug Geise. Lexi Hoersten modeled her gown. On the national scene, “Sanford and Son” premiered on NBC – TV. The first hand-held calculator (HP 35) sold for $395. Richard Nixon became the first US President to visit China. Gold hit a record high of $60 per ounce. A record low temperature for June was 31 degrees, in Cleveland. MASH premiered on TV and women began training as FBI agents.

1975On 18 October 1975,

Theresa “Tess” Pothast married Keith Rahrig. She wore her mother; Rita Elwer

Pothast’s wedding dress. It was just as beautiful as it was in 1946. Fischbach modeled the mother – daughter wed-ding dress.

Also in 1975 “Wheel of Fortune” debuts and is still going strong. President Ford declared an end to the Vietnam War. (Just a note: We also had the forgotten war, The Korean Conflict, back in the 1950s.) Cher divorced Sonny Bono. “Saturday Night Live” premiered. President Ford requires states to provide free education for the handicapped.

Many of us have friends that represent different aspects of ourselves. Some are a compliment to our own way of thinking and some have the opposite or contrary opinion.

I find that my best friend is a little of both. How boring would it be if you always agreed with one another? We have argued and told each other we are silly or stupid or closed-minded and yet still have remained fast friends. She has been my friend for more years than we care to count because then we would realize how old we are.

We often get together on Saturday after-noons for a movie. We talk about things that have happened to us during the week, the people we have come in contact with and those we share a mutual relationship with.

So now we have found a new obsession. I can’t explain it and I won’t even try.

“Chrisley Knows Best.” Last Saturday we re-watched the first three episodes and enjoyed them just as much as the first time.

If you haven’t seen it, the first season finale is already here and gone so you’ll have to catch reruns. The new reality show on USA is about Todd Chrisley, a self-made multi-millionaire and his family: a wife, five children and two grandchildren and his mother who lives with a woman she took in because she needed a place to stay.

I know, I know. I Googled him, too! Gasp! All is not what it appears on a “real-ity” TV show. I don’t care. I love to listen to him talk. He has fun Todd-isms and his parenting skills are off the hook. He does not play around.

His oldest two children, a daughter and son, no longer live in the Chrisley house-hold. The daughter married without her parents’ blessing and the son got into trou-ble with a married woman, was sent away to do missionary work, returned and now has a daughter of his own. He lives with Todd’s mother (70) and her friend (80).

Let me lay out a few of my favorite scenes. Scene 1: Todd has asked the chil-dren to put away their cell phones for a weekend celebration of his mother’s birth-day. As you can imagine, they act like he wants to cut their arms off! The middle boy sneaks his phone on the boat and when Todd finds it, he looks at the screen, says, “Hey, you’ve got five missed calls,” and throws it at his son who is in the lake swimming. Bye, bye phone.

This particular son makes a comment during one of his dialogues that rings true throughout the show: “I find it easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.” Trouble with a capital “T.”

Scene 2: The same son from Scene 1 has asked to attend a football game with friends but waited until the last min-ute. Chrisley rule: No last-minute plans. Parents need to be notified ahead of time and give approval.

He is told no and he goes anyway and of course Todd knows because he has GPS on all his children’s vehicles and checks their texts and in and out calls on their cell phones. When the son arrives home, he apologizes and all seems well until he gets up the next morning and finds a boot on his vehicle.

“I think you need to spend some quality time with your mother who will be driving you around for the next several weeks,” Chrisley says.

Todd Chrisley, you are a master! Well done.

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others. Ayn Rand

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Turning the tide of drug abuse in our communities

BY U.S. SENATORROB PORTMAN

Over the past few weeks, I traveled across our state, visiting with small busi-ness owners, steel workers, and students to hear their views on the challenges facing our communities. While they often spoke about how to create more jobs, bring down the cost of healthcare, and get our economy moving again, there was one issue that was on a lot of people’s minds—illegal drug use and how to prevent and treat it, especially in the wake of a heroin epidemic that is taking the lives of four Ohioans every day.

I have been involved in this issue for more than twenty years. In 1995, I joined with leaders from across southwest Ohio to form the Coalition for a Drug-Free Greater Cincinnati. I served as chair of the coalition for nine years, and I’ve taken the knowledge I’ve gained from that experience to author half a dozen laws that marshal resources and channel them towards proven approaches in drug prevention and treatment.

One thing I learned a long time ago is that the best approach to preven-tion and treatment starts at the local level. The prob-lem of drug abuse won’t be solved in Washington, D.C, but in our homes and

our communities. The fed-eral government can and should help, but it’s an issue that requires a com-prehensive approach—from prevention to treat-ment and recovery—and everyone has a role to play.

That was confirmed again at round-tables I organized over the past few weeks in Franklin and Jackson coun-ties. I heard first-hand from people of every back-g r o u n d — v o l u n -teers, treatment p r o f e s s i o n a l s , people who have lost loved ones, and folks who are fighting and beat-ing addictions they’ve been struggling with for years—about what we can do to turn the tide of drug abuse. Their perspective is one that people in Washington need to hear. On Tuesday, I joined Senator Whitehouse of Rhode Island in hosting a first-of-its-kind forum on drug addiction and recidi-vism to not only examine our approach to addiction, but also to examine why so many who leave prison end up back behind bars, sometimes within months of their release.

Our forum was an opportunity for experts and community leaders to share their experiences with each other and with lawmak-ers. We were particularly

interested in showing how we can leverage our crimi-nal justice system in our efforts to break the grip of addiction, using approach-es that we know work. A decade ago I authored the Second Chance Act, a law that supports proven

drug treatment and job training programs for newly-released inmates. In the states that have taken advantage of it, we have seen significant reductions in r e c i d i v i s m —down double-digits in Ohio alone. Now we are working on

a reauthorization of the Second Chance Act, and I have crafted bipartisan leg-islation—the Recidivism Reduction and Public Safety Act—that would apply the same proven methods in justice rein-vestment and reentry that have worked in the states to our federal prisons.

The fight against addic-tion will continue on long after we are gone, but we can and must make a dif-ference today. That dif-ference isn’t measured in dollars and cents or in numbers and statistics. It’s measured in lives saved, in dreams realized, and in communities reborn. These are things that are worth fighting for.

Portman

Well done, Chrisley

Congressman requests hearing on Redskins name

WASHINGTON (AP) — A member of Congress is requesting a hearing on the Washington Redskins’ name, calling it “another example of racial insen-sitivity in sports” in the wake of Donald Sterling’s lifetime ban from the NBA.

Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., sent a letter Friday to the chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce citing the derogatory nature of the word “redskins” and sug-gesting the committee use its influence to persuade team owner Dan Snyder and the NFL to change the name.

Waxman appears unlike-

ly to get the hearing before the committee, which is chaired by Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., and over-sees professional sports.

“The committee really hasn’t been focused on the names of pro sports teams,” committee spokeswoman Charlotte Baker said Friday in an email, “and there are no plans to schedule a hear-ing on this issue.”

Waxman pointed that Los Angeles Clippers owner Sterling’s recent ban resulted from racist comments made in a pri-vate, then added: “In the case of the Washington football team, the offen-sive conduct is public, not private.”

“ U n l i k e N B A Commissioner (Adam) Silver, the commissioner of the National Football League, Roger Goodell, has publicly defended the owner,” Waxman wrote. “In fact, he stated in a letter that ‘the name is a unify-ing force that stands for strength, courage, pride and respect.’”

Waxman suggested the committee could call both Snyder and Goodell as witnesses to explain “how their actions are consistent with the public interest.”

The Redskins declined comment on Waxman’s let-ter. Snyder has vowed never to change the name, calling it a “badge of honor.”

Memorial DayDelphos and the nation will celebrate

Memorial Day this year on May 26. This is a day set aside to honor all those who have died serving our country. The celebration of Memorial Day goes all the way back to the Civil War (1861-1865), when women in the south were already placing flowers on the graves of Confederate soldiers who had died in that war before the war had ended.

April 1866 marked the founding of The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) as a fra-ternal organization of men who had served the Union during the Civil War. The GAR went on to become a major player in get-ting benefits for veterans and the widows and children of the veterans who had died in the Civil War. In 1868, the GAR called on

all to honor those who had died in the Civil War by setting aside the 30th day of May as a day of remembering. Originally called Decoration Day, this was the day set aside to “decorate” the graves of the fallen with flowers. After WWI, all veterans who had died in any war were honored. The official name change to Memorial Day came about in 1967 and in 1971 the date was changed to the last Monday in May in order to give workers a three-day holiday. There is a push to move the date back to May 30th as the holiday has lost much of its significance as a day to honor veterans who died in service to the nation.

The Delphos Canal Museum has a large collection of military items on display thanks, in no small way, to the generous donations by the residents of Delphos to the Delphos Historical Society and later to the Canal Museum.

Starting with the Civil War, the citizens of Delphos have taken part in every war fought by our nation. Avery Brown of Delphos was, at 8 years of age, one of the youngest to serve.

Also on display in the Civil War area is an early, handmade flag that was used during a rally for Abraham Lincoln when he was first running for president.

Check out the “Honor Roll” list of Delphos men who served during WW I and look for the names of your ancestors. You could also look for the picture of Ray Louise Scott who served as a nurse in France.

Art Grothouse portrayed the “American Soldier” in a poster used by the military in World War II and we have Art’s uniform on display at the Canal Museum.

CD of A to host Poetry ContestCatholic Daughters of the

America’s Delphos Court held their April Jitney Auction at the Knights of Columbus Hall. Members were generous with donations and purchasing of “auction numbers”, making it a successful fundraising event. Patricia Hablitzel became the newest member of CDofA as all of the group participated in renewing the CDofA pledge.

Catholic Daughters made a donation of a wall rosary to the St. John’s Benefit Auction and also made a donation to Children’s Medical Mission.

The importance of the dona-tion was discussed as many children in Third World coun-

tries are need of medical ser-vices not available to them in their native land. CMM brings the children to the U.S. and finds them free medical care while they stay with host fami-lies. CMM has no paid staff, all services are donated and works entirely from donations from civic groups and generous people.

The next meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Knights of Columbus hall for the annual Poetry Contest Awards and pot-luck. Students and adults in the area who are local winners also have the opportunity to be win-ners at the state and national level.

Pain Doctor Discovers Blood Flow-Busting Material Into ‘Miracle Socks’for Diabetics and Foot Pain Sufferers!Breakthrough circulation-boosting fibers improve blood flow, relieve swelling,

boost oxygen flow, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally in as little as 5 minutes!

“Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTIL NOW!”paid advertisement

What part of your swollen, tired,or achy feet would you like to see‘go-away’?

If you suffer from poor circula-tion, injury, swelling or any condi-tion that leaves your feet fatiguedand sore, then read on to discoverthe breakthrough that can changeyour life.

Good news comes in the form ofa ‘pain-busting microfiber’ that isused to weave a circulation-boost-ing sock, called BambusaTM.

Better Blood FlowThe ‘miracle sock’ is made from

a new, patented anion-technologythat is weaved into every strand ofthread used to make a BambusaTM

sock. This special micro-fiberthread is made from revolutionarybamboo charcoal to stimulateblood flow and revitalize feet.When this material comes in con-tact with body-heat it is proven torelease circulation-boosting ions.

The 3D-weave technology usedin the material has been comparedto infrared light therapy to help re-vitalize stiff and sore muscles. Themanufacturer, who also makes aback and wrist sleeve, says the ma-terial provides almost instant reliefto any part of the body it touches,making it ideal for diabetics, ath-letes, inflammation, stiffness andswelling.

Anne M. from California agrees.“Bambusa socks are absolutely themost comfortable socks I have everworn! My feet are no longer fa-tigued!”

TherapyWithout A Prescription!When the socks were pho-

tographed using a thermographicimaging camera, results showed upto a 17% to 22% increase in bloodflow. This helped to improve mus-cle oxygenation and decrease footfatigue. The socks have been provento provide extended relief fromcold, swollen and fatigued feet.

DoctorRecommended

Pain specialistof 30 years, Dr.Jahner commentson the 3D-weavetechnology. “In-frared therapy hasbeen used foryears at medical

clinics to treat vascular and circula-tory conditions. Physical therapistsuse infrared therapy to speed re-covery. Better blood flow equalsless pain. This microfiber worksmuch the same way.”

"Circulatory dysfunction affectsMOST of the adult population inthe United States. Heart Disease,Strokes and Diabetic conditions areat epidemic levels; anything thatimproves circulation improves cel-lular health and vitality. I use theBambusa product myself and rec-ommend it to my clients. It reallyworks!” states Dr Jahner.

Results in Minutes?John G. of California claims he

Manzielmania rocks Cleveland hard

By TOM WITHERSAssociated Press

BEREA — Johnny Manziel held up his new brown No. 2 jersey and flashed a smile that beamed to Texas. With whirring cameras pro-viding the soundtrack, he was welcomed to his NFL home.

Johnny Football arrived.Cleveland may never be the same.Humble, confident and charmingly

comfortable in handling any question, Manziel was introduced Friday by the Browns, who positioned themselves perfectly in the first round of the draft to select the polarizing Texas A&M quarterback with equal amounts of skill and swag.

Sitting alongside fellow first-round pick Justin Gilbert, a cornerback from Oklahoma State taken 14 picks ahead of him, Manziel said he’s stepping into a life he believes will be even crazier than his college days.

“I’m going into it expecting madness,” he said.

Manzielmania hit Cleveland like a spring thunderstorm Friday. As of 6 p.m., the Browns

had sold 2,300 season tickets — renewals and new purchases — since the start of Thursday’s first round. In the hours after Manziel was chosen with the No. 22 overall pick, the team’s sales staff struggled to keep up with phones that barely stopped ringing.

At the team’s gift shot in FirstEnergy Stadium, fans waited in long lines to buy Manziel jerseys at $150 a pop.

The 2012 Heisman Trophy win-ner took all the attention in stride. He’s used to it, having had his every move on and off the field chronicled since the first time he scrambled out of the pocket and made a magical play for the Aggies.

“It means a lot to me, obvious-ly,” Manziel said about Cleveland’s hyped reaction. “I’ve gotten a lot of

support already but there’s work that needs to be done.”

Manziel said he doesn’t carry the burden of being Johnny Football, the kid who turns giant stadiums into his personal playground and the one who occasionally hangs out with rap stars and LeBron James.

Kalida falls short versus Miller CityBy DAVE BONINSEGNADHI [email protected] — As the baseball tourna-

ment looms, the Kalida Wildcats and Miller City Wildcats met for the second time in two weeks Friday afternoon, this time with Holy Name Ballpark in Kalida being the venue.

Miller City came away with the 6-1 victory at their place the first time around and were out to complete the sweep.

The visitors built up a 9-0 lead after 2 1/2 innings and held on for a 9-8 defeat.

Jared Fuka led off the second inning for the guests with a base hit, Ross Lehman followed with a walk and Adam Niese singled the bases loaded for Logan Dukes. He delivered on a hit, bringing home two, followed by a Jeremey Balbaugh double to clear the bases, making it a 4-0 Miller City lead. One batter later, Jackson Lammers brought in Balbaugh.

The visitors added to their total with four more in the third in nearly the same fashion; Fuka (3-for-4) led off with a walk with Lehman and Dukes reaching in doing the same. Balbaugh drove in this third run of the game on a 1-out single, giving the guests a 7-0 advantage.

They weren’t done yet as Lammers doubled in Dukes and Balbaugh to make it a 9-0 contest.

Little did the visitors know they would be their last players to cross the plate in the game as the home-town ’Cats began their comeback attempt.

Kalida sent 10 batters to the plate in the third with the first four batters reach-ing. Randy Zeller led off with a base-on-balls and Drew Hovest also reached on four pitches. Two batters later, Brady Laudick drove home the first Kalida run on a fly to center. Brent Hovest followed with a run-scoring single and after walks to Trevor Maag and Austin Swift, Kalida had the bases loaded.

Noah Lambert singled home a run and Jeffery Knueve drew a bases-loaded walk before Zeller hit into a fielder’s choice to end the inning; after the dust had cleared, the home team had cut the deficit to 9-4.

Kalida added two more in the fourth after Hovest walked and Blaine Warnimont tripled to make it a 9-5 con-test. Two batters later, Brent Hovest sac-rificed home Warnimont and the hosts trailed 9-6.

Kalida continued to chip away at the Miller City lead, getting a lone run in the fifth on a Knueve one-out double.

The home-team Wildcats nearly made the trek all the way back as they plated a run in the seventh as Swift led off the inning with a single and scored on a

Knueve (2-for-3, 3 RBIs) single to bring the score to 9-8. Nevertheless, with one on and none out, Miller City pitcher Jacob Kuhlman got Zeller and Drew Hovest to fly out to left before striking out Warnimont to end the game and squelch the Kalida comeback efforts.

Kalida will not have long to wait before its next game as they begin their tournament run today at home against the Ottoville Big Green; Miller City awaits today’s winner of the Fort Jennings/Leipsic game at Miller City on

———-Jays rained outInformation SubmittedVERSAILLES — The St. John’s var-

sity baseball team made the long trip to Versailles Friday evening for a Midwest Athletic Conference match up against the Tigers.

Unfortunately, it was Mother Nature that was the winner halting the game before the first pitch was thrown.

The Blue Jays had just taken the field for

warmups when a downpour soaked the players and spectators alike. The grounds crew at Versailles literally used buckets on the field trying to get the playing surface dry enough to start the game but after a 45-minute delay, the game was called.

No make-up date has been announced but the game has great significance on the final MAC standings after Versailles defeated Coldwater 4-1 on Tuesday. St. Henry leads the league with a 6-0 record with Coldwater and Versailles a game back at 5-1. St. John’s remains winless in the league with a 0-5 record.

The next action for St. John’s with be sectional action against Lincolnview today at Stadium Park. First pitch is scheduled to be tossed at noon unless Mother Nature has her way again.

Local Roundup

Associated Press

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — So much for that Masters hangover for Jordan Spieth.

In his first big tournament since the 20-year-old Texan tied for second at Augusta National, Spieth had another bogey-free round Friday in The Players Championship and shot a 6-under 66 to trail Martin Kaymer by one shot going into the weekend.

Kaymer tied the course record with a 63 in the opening round — becom-ing the first player with a 29 on either nine — and his encore wasn’t too shabby. He treated the second round like a fresh start, lowered his expec-tations and capped off his 3-under 69 with a pitching wedge to 4 feet on an island green with a back pin on the 17th hole.

The 29-year-old German was at 12-under 132. That matched the best 36-hole score on the Stadium Course at the TPC Sawgrass in 20 years, dating to Greg Norman’s record-setting performance. Norman made only one bogey that week.

Adam Scott, in his first tournament as a married man, kept alive his hopes of going to No. 1 in the world this week with three bird-ies in his last four holes for a 67. That was a 10-shot improvement from Thursday and enabled him to make the cut on the number at

even-par 144.Rory McIlroy shot 42 on the front nine

and appeared headed home early until making birdie on the 18th hole to salvage a 74 to make the cut.

Not so fortunate was Phil Mickelson. He missed his birdie attempt on No. 18 and had

a 70 to miss by one. Mickelson now has missed the cut in the two biggest events of the year — the Masters and The Players.

Russell Henley didn’t make a par over his last six holes — three bogeys, three birdies — for a 71 and was in third place at 8-under 136. Sergio Garcia (71), U.S. Open champion Justin Rose (71), Gary

Woodland (71), Lee Westwood (71) and Jim Furyk (68) were six shots behind.

MADEIRA ISLANDS OPENSANTO DA SERRA, Madeira Islands —

Scotland’s Scott Henry shot a 5-under 67 to top the leaderboard during the suspended first round of the fog-shrouded Madeira Islands Open.

The heavy fog that wiped out play Thursday returned morning Friday and caused a 4-hour delay, forcing organizers to shorten the event to 54 holes. Only half of the 144 players com-pleted the first round.

Portuguese amateur Joao Carlota was 4 under after 4 holes.

Golf Capsules Fish OhioOHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL

RESOURCESOhio Division of WildlifeWeekly Fish Ohio Report!CENTRAL OHIOAlum Creek Lake (3,269 acres;

Delaware County) - Crappie: Fishing jigs and minnows suspended by a float around woody cover in the upper end of the lake and in coves is a good way to fish; crappie must be 9 inches or longer to keep. White bass: Use minnows, jigs and small spinners in the upper end of the lake north of Howard Road, as well as in the creek itself, at Kilbourne. Channel catfish: The area above Howard Road has good number; try cut shad for good results.

Kiser Lake (394 acres; Champaign County) - Largemouth bass: Fish plastic baits and crankbaits in/along lily pads on the south side of lake and near woody cover on the north shore. Sunfish: As the water warms, bluegill can be caught in shallow water using wax worms or nightcrawlers under a bobber; fly fishing using floating flies and spiders can also be very productive and exciting. Channel catfish: Chicken livers fished on the bot-tom can reward an angler with channel cats or hybrid striped bass. No motors are allowed.

NORTHWEST OHIOBeaver Creek Reservoir (110 acres;

Seneca County) - Catfish have been biting; try shrimp for bait. For large cat-fish, try drift- or balloon-fishing. Boats are allowed on the reservoir with electric motors only.

Sandusky River (Sandusky County) - White bass are biting near Fremont; water is muddy, high and swift, so try tight

lines similar to fishing for catfish but with a shiner for bait tied above the sinker.

NORTHEAST OHIOMogadore Reservoir (1,104 acres;

Portage County) - Owned and operated by the city of Akron and located in the southwestern portion of the county, 3 miles east of Akron and 6 miles south of Kent on SR 43, 1 mile south of US 224. April, May and June are the best months for catching largemouth bass: cast sur-face lures, crank baits or spinners toward shore and retrieve at moderate speed. Crappie: use live minnows and jigs, par-ticularly in stumpy areas. Fishing from shore is somewhat limited but the entire reservoir is available for boat fishing; outward motors are limited to electric only.

Silver Creek Lake (46 acres; Summit County) - Owned and operated by Summit County Metro Parks and located about 2 miles south of the city of Norton, approxi-mately 1 mile north of SR 585 off Medina Line Road, the lake is contained within Silver Creek Metro Park. Largemouth bass and bluegill can be captured close to shore, especially during the spring and again in the fall. Largemouth bass: spin-ner baits, surface lures and plastic worms. Bluegill and other sunfish: wax worms, maggots or small worms. This lake was stocked by DOW April 16 with rainbow trout. Trout: worms, maggots, corn ker-nels, artificial salmon eggs, minnows or ¼-oz. spinners or spoons.

SOUTHEAST OHIOLake Logan (333 acres; Hocking

County) - Saugeye can be caught on bot-tom-bouncing jigs tipped with nightcrawl-ers or minnows or trolling crankbaits in 6-10 feet. Crappie: Start looking for white

crappie to move into shallower water around shoreline structure to spawn and focus around wood structure; try small jigs tipped with plastic tubes, plastic grubs or live minnows fished below bobbers in depths less than 6 feet. Sunfish should be biting well along the shore; fish a simple wax worm under a bobber.

Monroe Lake (39 acres; Monroe County) - Largemouth bass: Productive spots for these popular fish generally include the areas along submerged weed beds or woody cover in 6 feet; try shal-low-running crankbaits. Bluegill: Fishing should be good as temperatures continue to warm; seek out shallow areas in the upper end of the lake or on the north side in hopes of catching some bluegill on spawning beds. Submerged structure maps can be obtained by contacting the District 4 office in Athens at 740-589-9930.

SOUTHWEST OHIOEast Fork Lake (1,971 acres/32.3

miles of shoreline; Clermont County) - Crappie: Try minnows and jigs with tubes; chartreuse and white color patterns are working the best currently. Fish are gen-erally being taken in 18-24 inches, espe-cially around structure, fallen trees and in the coves.

Rocky Fork Lake (1,992 acres; Highland County) - Saugeye anglers are reporting decent fishing; try crankbaits or trolling with a Shad-Rap. Crappie have been hitting between 3-4 fee; try black or chartreuse jigs and minnows. Largemouth bass are being taken with crankbaits in water 2-6 feet deep.

Manzielmania rocks Cleveland hard

By TOM WITHERSAssociated Press

BEREA — Johnny Manziel held up his new brown No. 2 jersey and flashed a smile that beamed to Texas. With whirring cameras pro-viding the soundtrack, he was welcomed to his NFL home.

Johnny Football arrived.Cleveland may never be the same.Humble, confident and charmingly

comfortable in handling any question, Manziel was introduced Friday by the Browns, who positioned themselves perfectly in the first round of the draft to select the polarizing Texas A&M quarterback with equal amounts of skill and swag.

Sitting alongside fellow first-round pick Justin Gilbert, a cornerback from Oklahoma State taken 14 picks ahead of him, Manziel said he’s stepping into a life he believes will be even crazier than his college days.

“I’m going into it expecting madness,” he said.

Manzielmania hit Cleveland like a spring thunderstorm Friday. As of 6 p.m., the Browns

had sold 2,300 season tickets — renewals and new purchases — since the start of Thursday’s first round. In the hours after Manziel was chosen with the No. 22 overall pick, the team’s sales staff struggled to keep up with phones that barely stopped ringing.

At the team’s gift shot in FirstEnergy Stadium, fans waited in long lines to buy Manziel jerseys at $150 a pop.

The 2012 Heisman Trophy win-ner took all the attention in stride. He’s used to it, having had his every move on and off the field chronicled since the first time he scrambled out of the pocket and made a magical play for the Aggies.

“It means a lot to me, obvious-ly,” Manziel said about Cleveland’s hyped reaction. “I’ve gotten a lot of

support already but there’s work that needs to be done.”

Manziel said he doesn’t carry the burden of being Johnny Football, the kid who turns giant stadiums into his personal playground and the one who occasionally hangs out with rap stars and LeBron James.

Kalida falls short versus Miller CityBy DAVE BONINSEGNADHI [email protected] — As the baseball tourna-

ment looms, the Kalida Wildcats and Miller City Wildcats met for the second time in two weeks Friday afternoon, this time with Holy Name Ballpark in Kalida being the venue.

Miller City came away with the 6-1 victory at their place the first time around and were out to complete the sweep.

The visitors built up a 9-0 lead after 2 1/2 innings and held on for a 9-8 defeat.

Jared Fuka led off the second inning for the guests with a base hit, Ross Lehman followed with a walk and Adam Niese singled the bases loaded for Logan Dukes. He delivered on a hit, bringing home two, followed by a Jeremey Balbaugh double to clear the bases, making it a 4-0 Miller City lead. One batter later, Jackson Lammers brought in Balbaugh.

The visitors added to their total with four more in the third in nearly the same fashion; Fuka (3-for-4) led off with a walk with Lehman and Dukes reaching in doing the same. Balbaugh drove in this third run of the game on a 1-out single, giving the guests a 7-0 advantage.

They weren’t done yet as Lammers doubled in Dukes and Balbaugh to make it a 9-0 contest.

Little did the visitors know they would be their last players to cross the plate in the game as the home-town ’Cats began their comeback attempt.

Kalida sent 10 batters to the plate in the third with the first four batters reach-ing. Randy Zeller led off with a base-on-balls and Drew Hovest also reached on four pitches. Two batters later, Brady Laudick drove home the first Kalida run on a fly to center. Brent Hovest followed with a run-scoring single and after walks to Trevor Maag and Austin Swift, Kalida had the bases loaded.

Noah Lambert singled home a run and Jeffery Knueve drew a bases-loaded walk before Zeller hit into a fielder’s choice to end the inning; after the dust had cleared, the home team had cut the deficit to 9-4.

Kalida added two more in the fourth after Hovest walked and Blaine Warnimont tripled to make it a 9-5 con-test. Two batters later, Brent Hovest sac-rificed home Warnimont and the hosts trailed 9-6.

Kalida continued to chip away at the Miller City lead, getting a lone run in the fifth on a Knueve one-out double.

The home-team Wildcats nearly made the trek all the way back as they plated a run in the seventh as Swift led off the inning with a single and scored on a

Knueve (2-for-3, 3 RBIs) single to bring the score to 9-8. Nevertheless, with one on and none out, Miller City pitcher Jacob Kuhlman got Zeller and Drew Hovest to fly out to left before striking out Warnimont to end the game and squelch the Kalida comeback efforts.

Kalida will not have long to wait before its next game as they begin their tournament run today at home against the Ottoville Big Green; Miller City awaits today’s winner of the Fort Jennings/Leipsic game at Miller City on

Jennings baseball crew rallied from a 7-3 deficit after three innings with a 5-run fifth frame to take a 9-7 victory Friday at Continental.

———-Jays rained outInformation SubmittedVERSAILLES — The St. John’s var-

sity baseball team made the long trip to Versailles Friday evening for a Midwest Athletic Conference match up against the Tigers.

Unfortunately, it was Mother Nature that was the winner halting the game before the first pitch was thrown.

The Blue Jays had just taken the field for

warmups when a downpour soaked the players and spectators alike. The grounds crew at Versailles literally used buckets on the field trying to get the playing surface dry enough to start the game but after a 45-minute delay, the game was called.

No make-up date has been announced but the game has great significance on the final MAC standings after Versailles defeated Coldwater 4-1 on Tuesday. St. Henry leads the league with a 6-0 record with Coldwater and Versailles a game back at 5-1. St. John’s remains winless in the league with a 0-5 record.

The next action for St. John’s with be sectional action against Lincolnview today at Stadium Park. First pitch is scheduled to be tossed at noon unless Mother Nature has her way again.

Local Roundup

Associated Press

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — So much for that Masters hangover for Jordan Spieth.

In his first big tournament since the 20-year-old Texan tied for second at Augusta National, Spieth had another bogey-free round Friday in The Players Championship and shot a 6-under 66 to trail Martin Kaymer by one shot going into the weekend.

Kaymer tied the course record with a 63 in the opening round — becom-ing the first player with a 29 on either nine — and his encore wasn’t too shabby. He treated the second round like a fresh start, lowered his expec-tations and capped off his 3-under 69 with a pitching wedge to 4 feet on an island green with a back pin on the 17th hole.

The 29-year-old German was at 12-under 132. That matched the best 36-hole score on the Stadium Course at the TPC Sawgrass in 20 years, dating to Greg Norman’s record-setting performance. Norman made only one bogey that week.

Adam Scott, in his first tournament as a married man, kept alive his hopes of going to No. 1 in the world this week with three bird-ies in his last four holes for a 67. That was a 10-shot improvement from Thursday and enabled him to make the cut on the number at

even-par 144.Rory McIlroy shot 42 on the front nine

and appeared headed home early until making birdie on the 18th hole to salvage a 74 to make the cut.

Not so fortunate was Phil Mickelson. He missed his birdie attempt on No. 18 and had

a 70 to miss by one. Mickelson now has missed the cut in the two biggest events of the year — the Masters and The Players.

Russell Henley didn’t make a par over his last six holes — three bogeys, three birdies — for a 71 and was in third place at 8-under 136. Sergio Garcia (71), U.S. Open champion Justin Rose (71), Gary

Woodland (71), Lee Westwood (71) and Jim Furyk (68) were six shots behind.

MADEIRA ISLANDS OPENSANTO DA SERRA, Madeira Islands —

Scotland’s Scott Henry shot a 5-under 67 to top the leaderboard during the suspended first round of the fog-shrouded Madeira Islands Open.

The heavy fog that wiped out play Thursday returned morning Friday and caused a 4-hour delay, forcing organizers to shorten the event to 54 holes. Only half of the 144 players com-pleted the first round.

Portuguese amateur Joao Carlota was 4 under after 4 holes.

Golf Capsules Fish OhioOHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL

RESOURCESOhio Division of WildlifeWeekly Fish Ohio Report!CENTRAL OHIOAlum Creek Lake (3,269 acres;

Delaware County) - Crappie: Fishing jigs and minnows suspended by a float around woody cover in the upper end of the lake and in coves is a good way to fish; crappie must be 9 inches or longer to keep. White bass: Use minnows, jigs and small spinners in the upper end of the lake north of Howard Road, as well as in the creek itself, at Kilbourne. Channel catfish: The area above Howard Road has good number; try cut shad for good results.

Kiser Lake (394 acres; Champaign County) - Largemouth bass: Fish plastic baits and crankbaits in/along lily pads on the south side of lake and near woody cover on the north shore. Sunfish: As the water warms, bluegill can be caught in shallow water using wax worms or nightcrawlers under a bobber; fly fishing using floating flies and spiders can also be very productive and exciting. Channel catfish: Chicken livers fished on the bot-tom can reward an angler with channel cats or hybrid striped bass. No motors are allowed.

NORTHWEST OHIOBeaver Creek Reservoir (110 acres;

Seneca County) - Catfish have been biting; try shrimp for bait. For large cat-fish, try drift- or balloon-fishing. Boats are allowed on the reservoir with electric motors only.

Sandusky River (Sandusky County) - White bass are biting near Fremont; water is muddy, high and swift, so try tight

lines similar to fishing for catfish but with a shiner for bait tied above the sinker.

NORTHEAST OHIOMogadore Reservoir (1,104 acres;

Portage County) - Owned and operated by the city of Akron and located in the southwestern portion of the county, 3 miles east of Akron and 6 miles south of Kent on SR 43, 1 mile south of US 224. April, May and June are the best months for catching largemouth bass: cast sur-face lures, crank baits or spinners toward shore and retrieve at moderate speed. Crappie: use live minnows and jigs, par-ticularly in stumpy areas. Fishing from shore is somewhat limited but the entire reservoir is available for boat fishing; outward motors are limited to electric only.

Silver Creek Lake (46 acres; Summit County) - Owned and operated by Summit County Metro Parks and located about 2 miles south of the city of Norton, approxi-mately 1 mile north of SR 585 off Medina Line Road, the lake is contained within Silver Creek Metro Park. Largemouth bass and bluegill can be captured close to shore, especially during the spring and again in the fall. Largemouth bass: spin-ner baits, surface lures and plastic worms. Bluegill and other sunfish: wax worms, maggots or small worms. This lake was stocked by DOW April 16 with rainbow trout. Trout: worms, maggots, corn ker-nels, artificial salmon eggs, minnows or ¼-oz. spinners or spoons.

SOUTHEAST OHIOLake Logan (333 acres; Hocking

County) - Saugeye can be caught on bot-tom-bouncing jigs tipped with nightcrawl-ers or minnows or trolling crankbaits in 6-10 feet. Crappie: Start looking for white

crappie to move into shallower water around shoreline structure to spawn and focus around wood structure; try small jigs tipped with plastic tubes, plastic grubs or live minnows fished below bobbers in depths less than 6 feet. Sunfish should be biting well along the shore; fish a simple wax worm under a bobber.

Monroe Lake (39 acres; Monroe County) - Largemouth bass: Productive spots for these popular fish generally include the areas along submerged weed beds or woody cover in 6 feet; try shal-low-running crankbaits. Bluegill: Fishing should be good as temperatures continue to warm; seek out shallow areas in the upper end of the lake or on the north side in hopes of catching some bluegill on spawning beds. Submerged structure maps can be obtained by contacting the District 4 office in Athens at 740-589-9930.

SOUTHWEST OHIOEast Fork Lake (1,971 acres/32.3

miles of shoreline; Clermont County) - Crappie: Try minnows and jigs with tubes; chartreuse and white color patterns are working the best currently. Fish are gen-erally being taken in 18-24 inches, espe-cially around structure, fallen trees and in the coves.

Rocky Fork Lake (1,992 acres; Highland County) - Saugeye anglers are reporting decent fishing; try crankbaits or trolling with a Shad-Rap. Crappie have been hitting between 3-4 fee; try black or chartreuse jigs and minnows. Largemouth bass are being taken with crankbaits in water 2-6 feet deep.

PHAALS fundraiser at Wildcat FieldThe Jefferson and St. John’s varsity baseball teams posed at home plate after Wednesday’s Playing Hardball Against ALS game at Wildcat Field. The game was a fund-raiser for

the organization that was founded in 2012 by Putnam County resident Jeff Swick, also the organization’s CEO, and hopes to help those who are not only suffering with Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, but caring for those who have the disease.

(Continued from page 6)

“I’m Johnny Manziel,” he explained. “Johnny Football is what I am in the media and what is out there. I accept it and I’m very accepting of it. At the same time, I know who I am. I’m Johnny Manziel from Kerrville, Texas. I don’t let that get to me too much or let all that weigh me down or ever make me lose sleep at night.”

As he spoke, Gilbert quietly took it all in as he sat next to his famous teammate. Gilbert confessed to getting caught up in Manziel’s selection while he was in New York.

“I was on my way back to the hotel and I think my mom or somebody told me that we had Johnny Manziel so I let down the (car) window and started screaming, ‘Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Browns we’re here’,” he recalled. “I’m excited he’s here. I expect noth-ing but the best from him.”

The Browns have been wait-ing for someone, anyone, like Manziel for years.

The team has started 20 quarterbacks since 1999, a roll call that begins with Ty Detmer and includes first-round busts like Tim Couch, Brady Quinn and Brandon Weeden. Manziel’s well aware of the Browns’ failings and hopes to be the one to solidify things.

Manziel knows there are those who feel his size will limit his success. He’s the first QB under six feet to be taken in the first round since 1953.

“You can measure height,” he said. “You can’t really mea-sure heart.”

Manziel will compete with Brian Hoyer to open next sea-son behind center. Hoyer start-ed two games before sustain-ing a season-ending knee injury in 2013 but is the incumbent. When he was told by general manager Ray Farmer that the team was drafting Manziel, Hoyer replied, “bring it on.”

Cowan Lake (92 acres, 17 miles of shoreline; Clinton County) - The lake is slightly muddy at the moment but many are reporting decent fishing. Crappie: Try minnows in 4-6 feet of water.

OHIO RIVERBrown/Clermont counties - Fishing

activity has been picking up. Sauger, white bass and hybrid striped bass are all being caught. Spinners and jigs have both been successful; white, pearl, chartreuse, orange and yellow twister tails are a great choice right now.

Racine Dam Area (Meigs County) - White and hybrid striped bass: Spinners and jigs can both be successful at this time; white, pearl, chartreuse, orange and yellow twister tails have all been popular. Sauger: With the spawn over, fish will spread out in the river; however, some can still be caught in the tail waters using jigs tipped with plastic grubs or minnows.

LAKE ERIERegulations to Remember: The daily

bag limit for walleye on Ohio waters of Lake Erie is 6 fish per angler; minimum size limit is 15 inches. … The daily bag limit for yellow perch is 30 on all Ohio waters of Lake Erie. … The trout and salmon daily bag limit is 2; minimum size limit is 12 inches. … Black bass (large-mouth and smallmouth bass): Through June 27 is closed to possession (catch and release only).

Walleye: Anglers trolling have been catching fish around the Bass and Kelleys islands using deep-diving crankbaits such as Rapala deep husky jerks and Reef Runners and with worm harnesses using inline weights or bottom-bouncers; jigging works on the reefs of the Camp Perry firing range and nearshore west of the reefs — hair jigs tipped with emerald shin-ers are the most popular lures. … Water temperature is 50 off Toledo and 49 off Cleveland, according to the nearshore marine forecast.

MAUMEE RIVERRiver is at normal level, water clarity

is fair to good and fishing conditions are good - temperature is 56.5º F. Pressure has been moderate over the last few days. Wading to Bluegrass Island is possible at this time. Anglers have been catching good numbers of walleye and white bass. Surveys still show a good number of wall-eye; we are past the peak but the increase in water flow may bring new fish up the river. Fishing seems to be good in most areas but Buttonwood, Bluegrass Island and Jerome Road are producing the most as well as from the Conant Street Bridge (in the city of Maumee) upstream to the end of Jerome Road, in Wood County and below the Grand Rapids-Providence Dam in Lucas County. White bass numbers are good and should increase with the warmer weather forecasted.

SANDUSKY RIVERWater level is close to normal but clar-

ity is poor - temperature is 57º F. Fishing pressure has been moderate. Walleye fishing has been slow with very few limits being taken; we are past the peak for its run. We are likely approaching the peak of the white bass run, so it is good in most areas but the best spot seems to be between State Street and Hays Avenue bridges.

For both: White Bass anglers use a number of lures and live bait, including small jigs, spinner baits and jigs tipped with minnows. Walleye: most commonly used bait is a Carolina-rigged twister tail with a 18- to 24-inch leader with about 1/4- to 5/8-oz. of weight depending on water flow. Bright-colored twister tails usu-ally work the best. The daily bag limit for walleye, saugeye and sauger is 6 fish through February 28, 2015; minimum size limit is 15 inches. Black bass possession is prohibited.

WHITE BASSWhite bass can be caught in many of

Ohio’s larger reservoirs and their tributar-ies; Some of the best fishing in the state is in Lake Erie tributaries in the spring. These migrate up most of the Western Basin tributaries from Lake Erie each year to spawn, with the Sandusky, Maumee and Portage rivers usually having the most. White bass may be found in the rivers through early June.

Reds 4, Rockies 3CINCINNATI — Joey Votto hit a game-

ending solo homer and the Cincinnati Reds shut down Nolan Arenado in a 4-3 win over Colorado Rockies on Friday night.

Votto drove a 3-0 pitch from Boone Logan (1-1) over the wall in center for his fifth homer. Votto’s fourth career game-ending shot traveled an estimated 437 feet.

Arenado went 0-for-3, snapping his hitting streak at a club-record 28 games, the longest in the majors this season. But he also walked and scored on Justin Morneau’s tying double in the ninth, handing Jonathan Broxton (1-0) his first blown save in six opportunities.

Johnny Cueto had another strong out-ing for Cincinnati, striking out eight in eight innings of 2-run ball. The right-hander allowed five hits and walked one.

Colorado’s Jhoulys Chacin, making his second start of the season after miss-ing the first month with a right shoulder strain, allowed two runs and four hits in six innings.

Skip Schumaker hit Chacin’s second pitch of the game up the left-center gap for a double. He moved to third on Brayan Pena’s groundout to first and scored on Brandon Phillips’ sacrifice fly.

Todd Frazier drove Chacin’s first pitch of the second inning 485 feet to a party area above the center-field batter’s eye. Frazier’s sixth homer of the season was the sixth-longest in the 12-year history of Great American Ball Park.

Troy Tulowitzki led off Colorado’s fourth with his 10th homer, a 404-foot shot on Cueto’s first pitch that bounced off the roof over the Reds’ bullpen bench in left-center field.

The Rockies tied it in the fifth. DJ LeMahieu led off with a single, moved to second on Chacin’s groundout and scored on Charlie Blackmon’s single up the middle.

Pinch-hitter Billy Hamilton greeted Logan with an opposite-field double down the right-field line in the eighth inning. Schumaker sacrificed Hamilton to third base, setting up Pena’s sacrifice fly.

NOTES: Frazier extended his hitting streak to nine games, matching his career high. … The Reds will most likely acti-vate LHP Aroldis Chapman from the disabled list today, manager Bryan Price announced. The team wanted to give the closer an extra day after he pitched on consecutive days for the first time on Tuesday and Wednesday to wrap up his rehab assignment. Chapman was struck in the left eye and nose by a line drive during a spring training game on March 19.

Boyfriend’s ex still central to his life

Dear Annie: Six months ago, I became involved with a man 20 years my senior. It has become evident that his ex-wife is still very much in the picture.

They divorced 30 years ago, when he found out she was cheating. He gave her the house and half of his earnings until their c h i l d r e n w e r e g r o w n . Yet he still phones her and asks w h e t h e r she needs anything. T h o s e “needs” are usually financial, in spite of her cushy job and mortgage-free life.

What sent me over the edge was a recent visit to his mother’s house. I randomly picked up a family photo of his parents’ 50th anniversary party, and there she was -- right in the center.

I have voiced my displeasure loud and clear: Either I am “it,” or I am out! He says she is family. What is a divorce exactly if people are going to exchange gifts and phone calls and show up at family functions? -- Too Little Too Late

Dear Too Little: Every divorced couple is different. Many remain friendly with each other. Those who have children together have a lifelong bond, no matter how old the kids are. The in-laws may still consider the ex to be part of the family and so invite her to all of their functions. That is their business, not yours. While giving her money is not necessary, your boyfriend is not going to stop contacting his ex simply because you don’t like it. If you cannot deal with that, better to get out now.

Dear Annie: I am

61 years old and own my own home. I am retired and live off of my investments. I have lived in this house for 30 years and have taken good care of it.

I’ve been dating “Ralph” for five months, although I’ve known him for

20 years. R a l p h ’ s house is worth twice as much as mine, and he’s hinting that if we marry, I should move into his home. I love his house, but

if we marry and he predeceases me, I could not afford the taxes, mortgage and maintenance on such an expensive place. He’s already told me that he is leaving everything to his adult children. He claims I don’t need his assets unless I get sick.

I moved a lot when I was young. I have no children and want the security of knowing that I will not have to move again unless it’s to a nursing home. Ralph is very nice, but I’d rather live in my own house.

Also, he doesn’t want me to meet his daughters yet, so I don’t know whether they will accept his having a girlfriend, let alone a wife. -- Nancy

Dear Nancy: Tell Ralph you’d like to take things more slowly and not discuss marriage until you have met his children. But Ralph also could speak to a lawyer about setting up a trust that would pay the mortgage, taxes and maintenance on his house and allow you to live there until your death (whereupon it reverts to his children). If that would ease your mind, please look into it.

VAN WERT — Time is closing in on Primary Election Day on May 6. The Van Wert County Republicans held a luncheon for the party faithful Friday at Willow Bend Country Club featuring Ohio Rep. Tony Burkley as speaker.

Burkley, a former Paulding Coun-ty commissioner, has represented the 82nd House District since win-ning the seat in the 2012 election. He is facing a primary challenge from Brett Eley of Wapakoneta. Burkley was not the only candidate on hand since Ohio State Senate 1st District candidate Milo Schaffner also at-tended.

Burkley updated the crowd with

the latest from the Statehouse, but admitted that most of his conversa-tions lately have centered around the school calamity days bill that was finally approved by both the State House and State Senate this week. Burkley noted that he expects Gov. Kasich to sign the bill into law soon. He had introduced the bill in the House Education Committee, but got little support until Kasich announced his support for a calamity day bill. After that, the bill passed the com-mittee and the House, but stalled in the State Senate for a couple of weeks while agreements were made between the two houses. Assuming Kasich signs the bill, school districts will get four additional calamity days this year, provided the district has held classes on four other sched-uled days off, such as holidays or

during vacations.“There were some tense moments

trying to get this through, but even-tually we got it through and it’s a re-ality today.” Burkley shared.

During the speech, Burkley also pointed out that the improvements in the state’s economic situation.

“George Mason University came out with their study and ranking of all the state’s and their fiscal condi-tion. When Gov. Kasich took of-fice, Ohio was really in dire straits. The latest George Mason Univer-sity study revealed that Ohio now is ranked seventh in overall fiscal con-dition. I think we were 46th in fis-cal condition three years ago, and to make that jump to seventh is really quite tremendous,” Burkley noted.

Central Insurance honored with Quantum AwardInformation submitted

VAN WERT — The Cen-tral Insurance Companies was recently awarded the prestigious Quantum Award at the Network of Vertafore Users (NetVU) Conference in Nashville, Tennessee. The Quantum Award rec-ognizes insurance carriers that have made a defini-tive commitment to NetVU member agencies to offer superior workflow produc-tivity and profitability on

both the regional and na-tional level. Many carriers were nominated, but only three carriers were named finalists. From these final-ists Central was selected the regional winner for their commitment to con-tinual automation improve-ments.

From online training to a team of qualified service personnel ready to help in any way, Central provides training and support so agents can utilize Work-

flow Solutions to their high-est potential. The company puts a high value on agency feedback, and has several advisory councils in place to generate and encourage agency input including the Inner Circle, CSR Advisory Council, Blue Streak Pro-gram, and Premier Agency Program, as well as Online Agency Forums.

Gehres family to be honored at Beacon of Hope eventTIMES BUllETIN STAff [email protected]

VAN WERT — For the 16th time, Com-munity Health Professionals will host The Hospice Beacon of Hope Dinner/Auction. The April 3 event will honor the late Glenn D. Gehres.

The Beacon of Hope is an evening of remembrance, fun and awareness with a meal, live and silent auction items with auc-tioneer, Bob Gamble and laughter and fun with emcee, Rick Small of Mix 98.1 FM, as well as the recognition of three local busi-nesses.

The family of the late Glenn D. Gehres of Convoy has been named to present the Beacon of Hope lighthouse in memory of past hospice patients. Gehres worked as a material handler at Eaton Corporation in Van Wert and was a member of Convoy United Methodist Church. He loved the out-doors, whether it was tending his yard and garden, deer hunting, fishing in his pond or bird hunting with his dog, Duke. He was most comfortable in the woods or playing with his grandchildren.

Gehres received care from CHP’s hos-pice program before passing in September 2013 at the Van Wert Inpatient Hospice Center at the age of 54.

The Hospice Center will display the Gehres family lighthouse, along with those presented in past years. The lighthouse symbolizes hope, comfort and support pro-vided by hospice when a loved one is facing a life-limiting illness.

Three area businesses will be recog-

nized as “Friends of Hospice” for their continued support: Custom Assembly, Inc., Elmco Engineering and Van Wert Moose Lodge #1320. Through the backing of these and other local businesses, groups and peo-ple, CHP Hospice can help local patients and families through its patient care fund.

The dinner and auction is slated to be-gin at 6 p.m. at Willow Bend Country Club in Van Wert on Thursday, April 3. Dinner reservations are due by March 28. The Bea-con of Hope Dinner/Auction is the main fundraising event for the nonprofit hospice program.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Nearly 30 Ohio legislators and two civil liber-ties groups are backing a motorist’s challenge to traffic cameras that’s go-ing before the Ohio Supreme Court.

Among the lawmakers are Reps. Dale Mallory, D-Cincinnati, and Ron Maag, R-Lebanon, who are pushing legislation to ban or sharply restrict camera use in the state. The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio and the 1851 Center for Con-stitutional Law filed legal briefs this week urging the state’s high court to rule in favor of a motorist who said

the city of Toledo usurped the judi-cial system and violated his constitu-tional rights to due process.

The brief filed by the 1851 Center is joined by 29 state legislators who say traffic enforcement systems, in which administrative hearings are used to hear appeals by ticketed mo-torists, attempt to “circumvent and thwart” the state legislature’s powers as well as the courts.

“The city of Toledo’s automated traffic camera ordinance attempts to exact property from Ohio drivers through administrative hearing offi-cers, without access to an elected and accountable judge or a judge autho-rized by the state’s duly elected and

accountable legislators,” the legal brief states.

“It makes sense that legislators would intervene and try to defend their own constitutional powers,” said Andrew Mayle, a Fremont attor-ney who represents the driver in the Toledo case.

Other Ohio cities — including Cleveland, Columbus and Dayton — that use cameras for traffic enforce-ment have filed briefs in support of Toledo. The Ohio Municipal League stated that the case could potentially affect “every Ohioan who drives or owns a vehicle.”

CINCINNATI (AP) — Nearly 30 Ohio legislators and two civil liber-ties groups are backing a motorist’s challenge to traffic cameras that’s go-ing before the Ohio Supreme Court.

Among the lawmakers are Reps. Dale Mallory, D-Cincinnati, and Ron Maag, R-Lebanon, who are pushing legislation to ban or sharply restrict camera use in the state. The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio and the 1851 Center for Con-stitutional Law filed legal briefs this week urging the state’s high court to rule in favor of a motorist who said

the city of Toledo usurped the judi-cial system and violated his constitu-tional rights to due process.

The brief filed by the 1851 Center is joined by 29 state legislators who say traffic enforcement systems, in which administrative hearings are used to hear appeals by ticketed mo-torists, attempt to “circumvent and thwart” the state legislature’s powers as well as the courts.

“The city of Toledo’s automated traffic camera ordinance attempts to exact property from Ohio drivers through administrative hearing offi-cers, without access to an elected and accountable judge or a judge autho-rized by the state’s duly elected and

accountable legislators,” the legal brief states.

“It makes sense that legislators would intervene and try to defend their own constitutional powers,” said Andrew Mayle, a Fremont attor-ney who represents the driver in the Toledo case.

Other Ohio cities — including Cleveland, Columbus and Dayton — that use cameras for traffic enforce-ment have filed briefs in support of Toledo. The Ohio Municipal League stated that the case could potentially affect “every Ohioan who drives or owns a vehicle.”

VAN WERT — Time is closing in on Primary Election Day on May 6. The Van Wert County Republicans held a luncheon for the party faithful Friday at Willow Bend Country Club featuring Ohio Rep. Tony Burkley as speaker.

Burkley, a former Paulding Coun-ty commissioner, has represented the 82nd House District since win-ning the seat in the 2012 election. He is facing a primary challenge from Brett Eley of Wapakoneta. Burkley was not the only candidate on hand since Ohio State Senate 1st District candidate Milo Schaffner also at-tended.

Burkley updated the crowd with

the latest from the Statehouse, but admitted that most of his conversa-tions lately have centered around the school calamity days bill that was finally approved by both the State House and State Senate this week. Burkley noted that he expects Gov. Kasich to sign the bill into law soon. He had introduced the bill in the House Education Committee, but got little support until Kasich announced his support for a calamity day bill. After that, the bill passed the com-mittee and the House, but stalled in the State Senate for a couple of weeks while agreements were made between the two houses. Assuming Kasich signs the bill, school districts will get four additional calamity days this year, provided the district has held classes on four other sched-uled days off, such as holidays or

during vacations.“There were some tense moments

trying to get this through, but even-tually we got it through and it’s a re-ality today.” Burkley shared.

During the speech, Burkley also pointed out that the improvements in the state’s economic situation.

“George Mason University came out with their study and ranking of all the state’s and their fiscal condi-tion. When Gov. Kasich took of-fice, Ohio was really in dire straits. The latest George Mason Univer-sity study revealed that Ohio now is ranked seventh in overall fiscal con-dition. I think we were 46th in fis-cal condition three years ago, and to make that jump to seventh is really quite tremendous,” Burkley noted.

Burkley speaks to county Republicans

Gehres family to be honored at Beacon of Hope eventTIMES BUllETIN STAff [email protected]

VAN WERT — For the 16th time, Com-munity Health Professionals will host The Hospice Beacon of Hope Dinner/Auction. The April 3 event will honor the late Glenn D. Gehres.

The Beacon of Hope is an evening of remembrance, fun and awareness with a meal, live and silent auction items with auc-tioneer, Bob Gamble and laughter and fun with emcee, Rick Small of Mix 98.1 FM, as well as the recognition of three local busi-nesses.

The family of the late Glenn D. Gehres of Convoy has been named to present the Beacon of Hope lighthouse in memory of past hospice patients. Gehres worked as a material handler at Eaton Corporation in Van Wert and was a member of Convoy United Methodist Church. He loved the out-doors, whether it was tending his yard and garden, deer hunting, fishing in his pond or bird hunting with his dog, Duke. He was most comfortable in the woods or playing with his grandchildren.

Gehres received care from CHP’s hos-pice program before passing in September 2013 at the Van Wert Inpatient Hospice Center at the age of 54.

The Hospice Center will display the Gehres family lighthouse, along with those presented in past years. The lighthouse symbolizes hope, comfort and support pro-vided by hospice when a loved one is facing a life-limiting illness.

Three area businesses will be recog-

nized as “Friends of Hospice” for their continued support: Custom Assembly, Inc., Elmco Engineering and Van Wert Moose Lodge #1320. Through the backing of these and other local businesses, groups and peo-ple, CHP Hospice can help local patients and families through its patient care fund.

The dinner and auction is slated to be-gin at 6 p.m. at Willow Bend Country Club in Van Wert on Thursday, April 3. Dinner reservations are due by March 28. The Bea-con of Hope Dinner/Auction is the main fundraising event for the nonprofit hospice program.

As Fuerst pumped up the somber crowd and began the introduction of cancer survi-vors, the gathering exploded into a celebra-tion of cheers and applause recognizing each individual who beat the odds and survived the disease. After each survivor received their medal, students joined them on stage to release purple balloons into the air.

After the opening ceremony, everyone in attendance was invited to take the first “lap” together, which was a walk up and down Pierce Street between St. John’s and Franklin elementary schools.

During the walk, students and adults also began a rotation through the classrooms at the schools for healthful presentations learning how to live healthier lives and take precau-tionary measures to help prevent different types of health issues.

Professionals from the Delphos area spoke on a variety of topics, including oral cancer and prevention, fitness, drug awareness, hear-ing, paramedics, end of life, drug and health awareness, nutrition, tobacco and massage therapy.

Students paid to play games — which earned them prizes if they won — and participated in activities on both schools’ playgrounds including Plinko, miniature golf, face painting, ring toss, bean bag toss and toilet paper toss. Students shot hoops, had fun bouncing around in an inflat-able jumping pit and played other fitness games.

Closing ceremonies were held at St. John’s in the Robert A. Arnzen Gymnasium.

Proceeds from all games and donations will be given to the American Cancer Society for patient needs and to fund fur-ther cancer research.

Her daughter also found out she had cancer two years after Grothouse did. They went to the doctor together and it was there that they heard about Relay for Life.

“The nurse told us to come to the Relay for Life, which was in Putnam County in Ottoville,” she said. “We went there for three years. I’ve been to every one since it started in Delphos.”

This will be her 14th Relay for Life.“It’s nice to see everybody,” she said.

“When you start out, it’s a little bit emo-tional.”

Grothouse walks in the Survivor’s Lap and then enjoys talking with friends for a bit before heading out for a few more

laps and looking at the different booths.This year, Grothouse will serve as the

Women’s Honorary Chair.“I don’t know how I got that. I wasn’t

expecting it so I was kind of surprised to find out,” she said. “My husband said that he heard them say my name but I didn’t find out why until I read it in the newspaper the next day.”

Grothouse enjoys doing the Relay for Life and is proud of how many years she has done it.

This year since she is serving as Women’s Honorary Chair, she wants people to know that her faith gave her strength through her battle with cancer and her advice for those who have cancer is to “just pray.”

Laughter is the nonver-bal behavior that commu-nicates to others that we are experiencing the emo-tion of mirth. The unique sounds of laughter also arouse feelings of mirth in listeners, causing them to begin laughing as well.

On a physiological level, when people experience the emotion of mirth, there is an increase in dopamine activ-ity in the pleasure center in the limbic system of the brain. This is the “reward center” of the brain that is activated by positive emo-tions and activities. During times of mirth, the brain also produces endorphins, which raise people’s pain thresholds and can reduce pain they may already be feeling. Mirth also triggers a relaxation response, caus-ing our legs and arms to become weak.

President of Humorworks

Seminars in Tampa, Florida, John Morreall says all of this makes sense in light of laughter’s numerous physi-ological effects: “After you laugh, you go into a relaxed state. Your blood pressure and heart rate drop below normal, so you feel pro-foundly relaxed. Laughter also indirectly stimulates endorphins, the brain’s nat-ural painkillers.”

Socially, humor is usu-ally shared with others and people laugh most often when they are with other people. Laughter is just as contagious as yawning. People and the funny things they do are typically the focus of most humor and sharing laughs can help bond family and friends.

Researchers say humor is beneficial to people when it is affiliative, meaning amus-ing and being amused by others, or self-enhancing, having an amused outlook on life; being able to laugh

at oneself and see the humor in our own circumstances.

Benefits of mirth and humor include:

• An increase in creativ-ity, improved problem-solving ability, enhanced memory and an increased ability to cope with stress, by providing an alternative, less serious perspective on one’s problems;

• An increase in endor-phins, dopamine, relaxation response and a reduction of pain and stress;

• A reduction in depres-sion, anxiety and tension and an increase in self-esteem, resilience, hope, optimism, energy and vigor;

• Bonding with friends and family, reinforce-ment of group identity and cohesiveness, increased friendliness and altruism, increased attractiveness to others and happier mar-riages and close relation-ships.
