represent people from every state of
the union, Plus we have bicyclists
registered from Canada, Australia
and Sweden.
Jager said they are expecting
2,000 or more bicyclists to register
for this years GOBA tour.
Patrick Wills, a Fort Jennings
Sons of the American Legion member, is coordinating the meal in Fort

Kids scramble for eggs at Optimist Egg Hunt

Hundreds of families sprung into action at Waterworks Park Saturday morning to participate in an Easter Egg hunt
sponsored by the Delphos Optimists. Moms, dads and grandparents took photos and cheered the little egg hunters
on as they gathered as many of the colorful prize-filled plastic eggs as they could. (DHI Media/Stephanie Groves)
COLUMBUS (AP) A state

lawmaker says Ohios casinos that
have fallen short of their financial
promises shouldnt be allowed to
use freebies to attract high rollers.
Legislation that is set to be
proposed in the coming week
would stop casinos from giving
out promotional gambling credits
if the casinos havent met revenue
projections that were made before
Ohio voters approved the casinos
six years ago.
Those sites that have met their
projections would be limited to
credits of $5 million per year, said
state Sen. Bill Coley, a Republican
from West Chester.
Ohios casinos and racinos
have given away more than $500
million in promotional credits
since mid-2012, he said. Because
the credits arent taxed by the
state, they have cost the state $165
million in tax revenue, Coley said.

Poultry experts urge prevention

to keep bird-flu out of Ohio
COLUMBUS (AP)
Ohio poultry industry officials and veterinarians are
urging prevention to keep
a bird-flu strain out of the
state that has been identified
in other parts of the country.
Migratory birds appear to
have helped the spread of
the H5N2 virus that the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
identified last year on the
West Coast, The Columbus
Dispatch reports.
The federal Centers
for Disease Control and

Prevention says this strain of
avian flu has not been linked
to any human illness and is a
low risk for infecting humans,
but is deadly to birds.
The Ohio poultry industry,
including chicken eggs and
meat plus turkeys, is valued
at $1 billion. And Mohamed
El-Gazzar, assistant professor and poultry extension
veterinarian at Ohio State
University, said the strain
could reach Ohio at any time.
The flu spread through

Washington,
Oregon,
California, Nevada, Utah and
Idaho then moved from wild
birds to commercial flocks
of turkeys in Arkansas,
California,
Minnesota,
Missouri and South Dakota
and to chickens or mixed
poultry in Idaho, Kansas,
Oregon and Washington, the
newspaper reports.
COLUMBUS Ohios elderly would have more protection from financial scams and other abuse under a new bill,
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said Thursday.
Ohio House Bill 24 recently passed the House and is
now headed to the Ohio Senate. If approved, the legislation
would allow bankers, notaries, financial advisers and others
who have contact with the elderly to report possible financial
scams they believe are being used on their elderly customers.
DeWine was joined by Butler Countys Prosecutor Mike
Gmoser, whose departments elderly abuse reporting programs were touted by the attorney general. The bill would
create a state commission to prevent senior abuse.
The number of Ohioans 60 years or older will grow
by 60 percent by 2020, said DeWine during a press conference at the prosecutors office that included local Ohio
Representative Wes Retherford (R-Hamilton), one of two
lead-sponsors of HB 24.
Elder abuse is an under-reported crime in Ohio and its
really important this legislation passes, said DeWine, whose
appearance in Hamilton marked the first time hes shown
public support for the bill in its current form.
DeWine and other officials gave examples of how if the
new legislation is approved it would aid seniors.
Financial institutions, notaries, financial advisers and other
organizations that handle financial matters for Ohio seniors
would have a legal obligation of reporting potential abuse to
local and state officials. In return, if their concerns are later
proven unfounded, these financial first responders would
have increased legal protection against lawsuits.
The bill would also provide local police, fire, EMS, medical personnel and others local and state options to report suspected physical abuse or neglect of the senior citizens.
Moreover, the bill is designed to allow local and state
officials to quickly investigate possible financial scams and
enlist local judges to immediately order that money stop being
withdrawn from the accounts of seniors who are being stolen
from, helping to protect their life savings.
Besides creating an Ohio Elder Abuse Commission, the bill
would also enlist the help of Ohios Department of Job and
Family Services.
DeWine said his office already has a commission that handles such abuse complaints, but the bill would assure that a
new, expanded state commission would not depend on future
attorney generals to provide such a service.
Retherford said Ohios laws regarding elderly abuse have
not been updated in 25 years.
Gmoser, whose office in 2011 started a special task force
to investigate and prosecute people who scam senior citizens
or abuse them. This included creation of a hotline 1-888662-3673 to report problems that will be referred to local
police departments for investigation.
The county task force was created in response to a series
of cons thought to be from Spain, Canada and Mexico
that swindled thousands of dollars from unwary seniors after
claiming that a grandchild was either jailed, hospitalized or
had been in a car wreck in a foreign country.
Alerts about such scams and others are noted for the public
on the prosecutors website.
Retherford predicts the Ohio Senate will pass HB 24,
which the Ohio House overwhelmingly approved, and expects
the bill to become law by late June.

NYCs Easter
Parade brings
out creative hats
Engagement
Shafer/Kill
Curt and Shelley Shafer of Columbus Grove
announce the engagement of their daughter, Ashtyn
Michelle, to Shawn Daniel Kill, son of Dan and
Robin Kill of Delphos.
The couple will exchange vows in April at St.
Marks Lutheran Church in Van Wert.
The bride-elect is a graduate of Columbus Grove
High School and Bluffton University. She is a service and support associate at the Allen County Board
of Developmental Disabilities.
Her fiance is a graduate of Spencerville High
School and Rhodes State College. He is an occupational therapy assistant at Joint Township District
Memorial Hospital in St. Marys.
NEW YORK (AP) The

bonnets appeared on Fifth
Avenue for the annual Easter
Parade outlandish 21st
century headpieces that were
hardly bonnets, featuring
everything from bunnies and
butterflies to grassy, egg-dotted lawns and even a tall ship
on the high seas.
And the parade is hardly a parade. Instead, while
Cardinal Timothy Dolan celebrated Sunday Mass at St.
Patricks Cathedral, the avenue was milling with people
in homemade costumes that
get zanier each year.
The crowd included
Christians, Jews, Hindus,
agnostics, atheists and others,
including hundreds of tourists.
Its all about versatility, said Mary Anna Smith,
a New York custom milliner
whose business card reads
The Tipsy Topper.
The 2015 Easter Parade
bore little resemblance to the
first one that started in the
1880s as a display of the finery prosperous New Yorkers
wore to Fifth Avenue churches. In recent decades, the
street gathering has morphed
into a costume circus.
Smith wore a hat she
fashioned from an elaborate
kite and some fluffy white
stuff into a bright blue sailing
ship floating on sea foam.
Its about sailing to new
heights, said Smith.
She also created headpieces

for two friends, one a massive
butterfly and the other a tropical umbrella dripping with felt
balls and anchored to a birds
nest, then to human hair.
Steps from the parade, the
trio was tending to last-minute touches, adding bobby
pins to make sure the contraptions didnt topple.
Its Easter and I didnt
want to be too garish, said
Smiths friend, Kristen Lee
Sergeant, a Manhattan jazz
singer in a simple green dress.
But then again, I do have a
huge butterfly on my head!
For their first Easter Parade,
the Maxwell family wore costumes themed on the 1984
American sci-fi comedy film
Ghostbusters, which has
nothing to do with the Easter
theme of Jesus resurrection.
We put all these parts
together off of eBay and
different other sites, said
Ronald Maxwell, a Manhattan
computer consultant who
strapped a huge, menacing
looking proton pack to his
back, with pink and white
bunny ears on his head.
Wife Hilary Maxwell,
a dog walker, wore a
Ghostbusters-style
dress
she bought from an online
uniform supplier. And their
12-year-old son, William
Maxwell, donned a full-body,
greenish pantsuit that totally
concealed his head.

LOS ANGELES (AP) The

high-octane Furious 7 peeled out of
the gates in its opening weekend, picking up a stunning $143.6 million from
4,004 locations to easily top the domestic box office, according to Rentrak
estimates Sunday.
The expectation-shattering sum is a
studio and franchise best for the homegrown car-obsessed series, which has
continued to grow over the past few
films.
Furious 7, now the ninth-biggest
opening of all time, also unseats previous April record-holder Captain
America: The Winter Soldier, which
opened to $95 million on the same
weekend last year.
While the Fast and Furious films
have grown in popularity over the
past three films, the mega-opening for
Furious 7 was also at least partially
tied to audience interest in star Paul
Walker, who died in a car crash in Nov.
2013 before the film was completed.
Production on Furious 7 was halted while the filmmakers and Universal
decided whether or not to proceed with
the film. The team ultimately decided
to delay the release from its originally
scheduled July 2014 date.
It probably created some curiosity,
but, at the same time, (the film) fits in so
well with the overall continuing saga of
the Fast and Furious franchise, Nick
Carpou, Universals president of domestic distribution, said of Walker.
Its a motivator, but its not by any
means the prime motivator the see the
movie, he added.
There is also a sense that massive
openings like Furious 7 point to the
creeping of summer blockbuster season,
which seems to be starting earlier and
earlier as studios try to stake their claim
mark, Dergarabedian said.

on prime dates.

But for Carpou, in a 52-week-a-year
release strategy, the demarcation of a through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian
summer blockbuster is almost irrelevant theaters, according to Rentrak. Where
when it comes to getting audiences to available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also

Duke, Wisconsin step into

spotlight in national title game
By DAVE SKRETTA
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS Duke languished in the shadows of
Kentucky all season, the big blue juggernaut that nobody
seemed to be talking about. It was a rarity for a program with
such a championship pedigree, not to mention a record-setting
coach and superstar freshmen.
They can thank Wisconsin for finally returning to the limelight.
The fun-loving Badgers ended the
Wildcats pursuit of perfection in the
national semifinals and set up an intriguing
showdown in tonights title game: Duke
trying to give Mike Krzyzewski his fifth
national championship, Wisconsin trying
to capture its first in 74 years.
I dont think basketball fans that I
know would ever say that Duke didnt have a good team,
countered Badgers coach Bo Ryan, who won four Division III
titles at Wisconsin-Platteville.
A lot of people thought they had a pretty good team
because they spanked our team at our place in December, he
said. I cant say that they were ignored, thats for sure.
Yet the buzz at the Final Four this week was focused on
Kentucky. The only folks giving the Badgers much of a chance
were wearing red and white and scarfing down cheese.
Along with the coach in the other locker room.
Coming into the year, I thought theyd be the best team in
the country, and they have been, Krzyzewski said. Its just
that Kentuckys undefeated performance has overshadowed
just how good Wisconsin has been, until (Saturday) night.
There arent any shadows anymore.
Only spotlights.
The Blue Devils (34-4) have run roughshod through
the NCAA Tournament, relying on suffocating defense and
game-changing freshman Jahlil Okafor to shut down opponents. Theyre allowing just 55 points per game, one of the
finest defensive performances in tournament history.
See DUKE, page 7
SPORTS
For Wisconsin, a great win

has to be followed by another
By JIM OCONNELL
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS The scene will
bring smiles to many for a long time.
Players chest-bumping and hugging.
Fans on the fringe of delirium. A celebration perfect for highlight reels and
posters.
It has to end in a hurry, though.
Theres another game to be played.
Wisconsin has joined the list of
teams which won a game of historical
proportions only to be faced with a
game that will decide how great the
magnitude of the event will be.
The Badgers beat Kentucky 71-64
on Saturday night, ending the Wildcats
pursuit of an unbeaten season and
avenging a bitter loss in last years
national semifinals.
Now, they face Duke tonight for
Wisconsins first national championship in 74 years. If the Badgers cant
find a way to beat the Blue Devils a
team they lost to by 10 points at home
in December how will the upset of
the top-ranked Wildcats be remembered?
We know weve got 40 more (minutes), as Ive said a thousand times,
Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said Sunday.

But we know weve got some work
to do. I think last nights game simply
says, OK, it puts you in position now
to go after the championship.
Two teams that managed the great
win only to have to follow it up
days later with the game that
decides a place in history.
Duke, the team that is trying to throw a wrench into
Wisconsins dream weekend,
faced the same situation in
1991, in the same city.
The Blue Devils beat
UNLV, another team seeking the perfect season, in the
national semifinals. The year
before, the Runnin Rebels
beat Duke by 30 points in the title
game. The Blue Devils celebrated
as the soon as the buzzer sounded.
Christian Laettner, Bobby Hurley and
Grant Hill were on the court enjoying
a moment for a lifetime when reality set in in the form or coach Mike
Krzyzewski.
He ran onto the court moving his
arms in a knock it off motion. There
was a title game against Kansas to be
played in less than 48 hours.
When you win a Final Four game,

no matter who you beat, its huge,
said Krzyzewski, who is looking for
his fifth national championship. And
were all human beings. You have to
fight human nature of wanting to stay
in that moment for a little bit longer
before moving on to the next
moment.
Its not just basketball
either.
In 1980, in one of sports
moments frozen in time, when
an entire country confirmed
it did believe in miracles, the
U.S. Olympic hockey team
stunned the world by beating
the vaunted Soviet Union in
Lake Placid, New York. The
celebration of an entire team throwing
their sticks and jumping onto a pile in
front of the net is frozen in time. But
the United States wasnt done. They
had to beat Finland two days later. A
win meant a gold medal. A loss meant
no medal, not even a bronze.

St. Johns hops to 3-1

with doubleheader sweep
By LARRY HEIING

DELPHOS The start
of Saturdays triple header between St. Johns,
Lincolnview and Antwerp was
delayed an hour due to heavy
rain and cold temperatures but
the wait was worth it as the
Blue Jays improved to 3-1 on
the season with victories at
Stadium Park over the Archers
23-3 and the Lancers 3-1.
The Archers sent eight batters to the plate in the first
inning against St. Johns plating a pair of runners against
starter Eric Vogt.
St. Johns took the lead
in the bottom of the first as
Austin Heiing started the
offense with a lead off walk
and advanced to third on a
balk and a passed ball. After
Seth Linder was hit by a Matt
Jones pitch, Jaret Jackson singled to center to score Heiing.
Vogts double drove in Linder
to knot the score. The Jays
took the lead for good as
Jesse Ditto drove a full-count
pitch to right.
St. Johns erupted for six
more runs in the bottom half
of the second inning. Jorden
Boone started with a single to
center and stole second. Chad
Etgen and Heiing walked to
load the bases with as Hunter
Noel came in to try to stop
the rally. Linders grounder to
short was bobbled as Boone
scored. Jacksons sac fly to
center plated Etgen, followed
by a double by Vogt driving
in Heiing. After the dust settled, the Blue Jays led 9-2.
Collin Perry lead off the
Archers third inning with a
single down the third-base
line and came around to score
with two outs on an RBI single by Greg Kurtz, trimming
the deficit to half a dozen.
In the fourth inning, the
Blue Jays sent 20 batters to

the plate, scoring 14 runs on
seven hits to put the game
away. Jesse Ditto batted three
times, reaching base on a
pair of singles and a walk.
The other hits came off the
bats of Linder (2 doubles),
Etgen, Heiing and Boone.
Along with the offensive
outburst, a feel good story
also occurred in the inning as
senior Alex Haunhorst came
in as a pinch-hitter. He has
never played organized baseball before and drew a walk
to score Ditto.
A scary moment happened
in the top of the fifth inning as
Brandon Slate relieved Vogt
on the mound. After Jones got
aboard with a single to center,
Slate retired Michael Taylor.
Kurtzs drive ricocheted off
of Slates knee that ended
the game on a double play as
the pitcher lay on the ground
in pain. After a few tense
minutes, Slate walked off the
field under his own power.
The second game of the
day saw the Lincolnview
Lancers defeat Antwerp 12-2.
The Lancers faced St. Johns
in the finale on Easter Eve and
it turned out to be the most
egg-citing: game of the day.
St. Johns, the visiting
team on the Stadium Park
scoreboard, got on board in
the third with one down as
Heiing beat out an infield
hit and scored on a double to
center field by Linder. Jaret
Jackson roped a double to
center, plating Linder as the
Jays took a 2-0 lead.
Lincolnview loaded the
bases in the bottom of the
third as Dylan Lee and Derek
Youtsey reached on infield hits
along with a walk by Roberts.
Once again, Jake Youngpeter
nullified the Lancers threat
with a strike out.

DELPHOS Parkway
invaded Delphos for a doubleheader against Jefferson
on Saturday and emerged
with a pair victories.
Game one went to extra
innings, but a 6-run eighth
propelled the Panthers to a
12-6 win.
After Bailey Rodriguez
grounded out to open the
extra frame, Tanner Bates
got himself into scoring position with a double to the
right-center field gap. A single by Jensen Riley put runners at second and third, as
Riley moved up on a throw.
After an intentional walk
to Waytt Felver loaded the
bases, Jefferson right hander
Jace Stockwell went to a full
count on Brandon Gibson
before the Panther catcher
lined a single through the
right side, plating two runners and putting Felver at
third. After a ground out,
Brody Adams delivered a
clutch, 2-out, 2-run single
through the right side to put
the game out of reach.
Felver earned the win in
relief for the Panthers, working the final 4 1/3 innings
behind Connor Mortons
start. Felver fanned six in

his game one duties and
allowed one hit and one run
(unearned). The Panthers
had tied the game with a
3-run seventh inning, those
runs coming against Gage
Mercer.
Every Panther starter had
at least one hit in their 16-hit
attack in game one as Gibson
and Adams combined for 7

runs batted in.
Jeffersons
Gaige
Rassman went 1-for-4 with
two runs scored and two
driven in. Jacob Pulford
allowed three runs on three
hits and four walks in 3 1/3
innings in the start for the
Wildcats.
The Panthers rode the

momentum of their comefrom-behind win into game
two. Parkway plated a pair
of first-inning runs against
Ryan Bullinger, but Jefferson
came back with four runs
over the first two innings
against Gibson, on the
mound for Parkway. The
Jefferson defense helped to
give the lead back in the
third, however.
Riley reached on a
Wildcat error to start the top
of the third before a Felver
single and a walk to Gibson
loaded the bases with no
one out. A walk to Hayden
Ambromavich forced home
the tying run and, one out
later, Devin Stover brought
home Felver with an RBI
single and Caleb Heindel followed with a hit to knock in
Gibson.
Parkway scored another
run in the fourth, then scored
six times in the fifth to take
control of the game.
Just like the Panthers
did in the opener, however, Jefferson came storming
back in the nightcap.
Jefferson plated a pair of
sixth-inning runs, but trailed
15-6 with only three outs to
play with.

Astros and Indians open season today

Associated Press
HOUSTON The Houston Astros
talked all winter about how much better
they will be this season.
Today against Cleveland, theyll get
their first chance to prove it.
Left-hander Dallas Keuchel is set
to make his first career opening-day
start when he opposes 2014 American
League Cy Young winner Corey Kluber,
who signed a 5-year, $38.5 million deal
on Sunday.
I think we can do some pretty
good stuff, Keuchel said. We havent
started the season right now so its
just words but from what we did at
spring training, I think were capable of
making a playoff push and thats ultimately what we want to do.
Keuchel got the nod for opening day
after going 12-9 with a 2.93 ERA and

winning his first Gold Glove last season. The 27-year-old is trying to treat
today like any other game but admitted
he might feel some jitters.
Im sure there will be some
nerves, he recalled. I remember last year (Scott) Feldman
was pitching and I was nervous
for him. So thats to be expected
a little bit.
First-year manager A.J.
Hinch loves Keuchels presence
on the mound and is confident
he can build on his work last
season.
His stuff plays in any level against
any team, Hinch said. And handing
him the ball on opening day was an
easy decision for me because of the way
he goes about his business and the way
he attacks hitters.
The Astros made a 19-game improvement last season to snap a streak of three
straight 100-loss seasons. They beefed
up their bullpen and added more power
to a lineup that features 2014 AL
batting champion Jose Altuve in
an attempt to make another big
jump in 2015.
Theyll get a good test early
when they meet a Cleveland team
that went 85-77 last season and
fell just short of reaching the postseason. Kluber leads the rotation
after going 18-9 with a 2.44 ERA
and 269 strikeouts in 2014. That performance marked just the fourth time since
1987 that a player had 18 wins, an ERA
below 2.50 and at least 260 strikeouts.

Reds back at it on field where division was decided

By JOE KAY
Associated Press
CINCINNATI Johnny Cueto will get his uncertain
season started in the ballpark where he made a little Reds
history with one swing last September. Made the
Pirates sick at heart, too.
Cueto starts Cincinnatis opener at Great
American Ball Park today, the scene of the Reds
best moment in an otherwise drab and disappointing
season. He closed out the regular season by getting
his 20th win and knocking Pittsburgh out of the NL
Central race.
Dont think that either has forgotten.
For Cueto, its a chance to get his contract year off to a
solid start and give the Reds a good moment early in the
season. The Reds first 20-game winner since 1988 is a little
uneasy as he gets set to try.
You cant be comfortable and say you can just do it
again, Cueto said. Pitching is hard. It doesnt always work

out your way. I feel confident, but not comfortable.
The Pirates? More determined than anything.
Pittsburgh has finished off each of the last two regular
seasons at Great American Ball Park. The Pirates swept a
three-game series in 2013 to win home-field advantage over the Reds for the wild-card game, then beat
Cueto 6-2 at PNC Park before losing to St. Louis in
the division series.
Last year, they needed to beat Cueto on the final
day of the regular season to have a chance of winning the division. Instead, Cueto singled home the
tiebreaking run in the eighth inning for a 4-1 win, leaving
Pittsburgh consigned to the wild card. The Giants beat the
Pirates 8-0 at PNC Park and went on to win the World Series.
In a sense, Cincinnati is an appropriate place for the
Pirates to begin again.

Big innings pave way for

Minster in DH sweep of Jeffcats

DELPHOS
Big
innings.
The Jefferson fast-pitch
softball crew fell victim to
several big innings in its doubleheader clash with Minster
on a brilliant but windy
Saturday morning/afternoon
at Lady Wildcat Field.
The result was a 23-6,
17-4 sweep by the visiting
Wildcats.
In the opener with
Delphos not helping its
cause with eight errors and
other mistakes in the field
Minster (3-1) put up a 2-spot
in the top of the first against
starter Claire Thompson on
three singles, the big blow a
2-run slap to left by Jessica
Berelsman.
Minster went up 6-0 in the
top of a 4-run third frame
all unearned on two errors
and three hits, including a
2-run double to deep left center by Jenna Nixon.
It became 8-0 in the
Minster fourth on two solo
blasts: Regan Hahn hit the
scoreboard in left center and
McKayla McFarlin bombed
a no-doubter to center.
Jefferson answered with
all six of its runs in the bottom half against Minster
starter Rachel Wehrman.
Jessica Pimpas singled to
left, Shayla Rice beat out
an infield single to short
and Samantha Branham
walked. When courtesy
runner Kylee Haehn broke
for second, a throw to first
was awry, allowing Pimpas
and pinch-runner Kendall
Marquiss to score and put
runners at second and third.
Two outs later, a dropped
pop-up by Danielle Harman
allowed Haehn to touch the
dish. Sophie Wilson then
went yard to center field to
plate Harman and make it
8-5. Sarah Thitoff got aboard
via an error, Thompson beat
out an infield pop behind
third, Pimpas walked and
Rice was safe on a dropped
pop-up, plating Thitoff for
the Lady Jeffcats final run
of the game.
got aboard via an error
and Thompson popped an
infield single behind third
base. Pimpas walked and an
error on an infield pop off the
bat of Rice plated Thitoff for
an 8-6 deficit.
Minster sent 11 to the
dish in the fifth, getting the
benefit of three errors and
two bases-on-balls, plus four
Indians

hits. Wehrman and Hahn had
back-to-back 2-run singles to
lead the way.
The visiting Cats sent
13 to the plate in the sixth
to finish off Thompson and
bring in Kiya Wollenhaupt.
They scored eight times
using two more errors, four
walks and four safeties. The
two biggest knocks were
2-run 2-baggers by Emma
Schmiesing and Hahn, the
latter making it 23-6.
In the second game,
Minster went up 4-0 in the
top of the first against starter Kiersten Teman on two
hits, a bases-loaded walk
to McKayla Goettemoeller
(scoring Wehrman), a sacrifice fly by Jessica Berelsman
(Hahn), a wild pitch (Emma
Schmiesing) and a groundout by Alex Schmiesing
(Goettemoeller).
Jefferson got within 4-3
in the home half. Thitoff
beat out an infield hit to
short and moved to third
on a 2-base throwing error
on Thompsons grounder.
Pimpas was hit by Minster
starter Hahn and Samantha
Branham hit a fly all to center to score Thitoff. Maddy
Jettinghoff walked. Teman
forced Thompson at home
but Haehn laced a 2-run single to left to get Pimpas and
Branham in.
Delphos tied it in the second. With one gone, Thitoff
singled to right, stole second, took third on an error
on the play and scored on
Thompsons infield hit to
short. However, that was
(Continued from page 6)

Were excited about the group we have,
the right-hander said. Again, potential is
one thing and going out there and doing it is
another. Weve got to hold ourselves accountable to our own expectations, not just others.
The Indians are also looking for Jason
their final run of the day.

Minster broke the tie with
a 5-run fourth, sending 11
to the dish. There were two
errors in the process but also
a walk and five hits, plus a
fielders-choice run-producer.
The visitors made it 11-4
in the fifth on an error and
two hits including an RBI
single by E. Schmiesing
(Hahn) and a run-scoring groundout by Berelsman
(Schmiesing) to make it 11-4.
The visitors sent 11 more
to the plate in the sixth
against Wollenhaupt and
Kaylin Hartsock, using five
hits including a 2-run
singl eby Goettemoeller
and three walks to account
for the final six runs.
I thought overall, our
pitchers did a good job; that
was a focus of ours in the
off-season and we have some
young girls stepping up. We
had a pretty good approach
at the plate; we were putting
the ball in play butMinster
just made some good plays
in the field, Jefferson coach
Josiah Stober said. What
hurt us today was defense.
We werent doing the little things: catching the ball,
being in good position,
throwing the ball where it
needed to go. We know we
have to get better fundamentally but perhaps the biggest
area we have to focus on
is communication. We told
the girls after the game that
we should be talking all the
time, especially between
pitches. Well get back at it
Kipnis to rebound from an injury-plagued

season in which he hit just .240 with six
homers and 41 RBIs a year after an All-Star
season where he hit .284 with 17 homers and
84 RBIs.
I feel good, Im healthy again, said
Kipnis, who couldnt shake an oblique injury that hindered his swing last season. My

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. Brittany Lincicome ended
up in Poppies Pond for the second time in her career early
Sunday night in the ANA Inspiration.
Lincicome eagled the par-5 18th in regulation to pull even
with Stacy Lewis and outlasted her U.S. Solheim Cup teammate with a 2-putt par in fading light on the third extra hole.
Lewis had three chances to win on the 18th. She missed
birdie putts from 13 feet in regulation, 15 feet on the first extra
hole and 12 feet on the second.
Playing a group ahead of Lewis, Lincicome made a 10-foot
eagle putt to match Lewis at 9-under 279. The long-hitting
Lincicome, also the 2009 winner, finished with a 69.
Lewis, the 2011 champion, closed with a 70.
Lincicome lost a playoff to Inbee Park last year in the LPGA
Championship, one of the tours five majors. The 29-year-old
Florida player, a six-time winner on the LPGA Tour, is projected to jump from 18th to sixth in the world ranking.
Two strokes ahead of playing partner Sei Young Kim and
four ahead of Lincicome with five holes left, Lewis missed a
chance for her third major title. She has 11 LPGA Tour victories and 18 runner-up finishes, three in seven starts this year.
The 30-year-old Texan bogeyed the par-4 13th and 15th
missing from 6 feet on 13 and 5 feet on 16 and closed with
three pars.
Morgan Pressel was third at 8 under. She nearly holed her
approach on 18 for eagle and made a short birdie putt for a 70.
Kim, three strokes ahead of Lewis entering the round, had
a 75 to tie for fourth at 7 under with Carlota Ciganda (68) and
Anna Nordqvist (69). Kim had only one par on the back nine,
on the 18th when she needed an eagle to get into the playoff.
Lexi Thompson, the winner last year, was 6 under. She finished birdie-eagle for a 70.
J.B. Holmes takes Houston Open
HOUSTON J.B. Holmes used a strong start Sunday for a
Houston Open victory in a 3-way playoff against Jordan Spieth
and Johnson Wagner.
The 32-year-old Holmes birdied the first five holes and nine
of the first 12 after starting the day six shots back of Jordan
Spieth.
He had a 64, the days low round, and won on the second playoff hole for his fourth PGA Tour victory and the
$1,188,000 check. Although Holmes missed birdie putt had
given Wagner another chance, his short putt for par lipped out.
Spieth, the hottest player on the Tour heading into the
Masters, was trying to win his second playoff in three weeks,
sandwiched around a runner-up finish in the Texas Open last
Sunday. But he bowed out on the first playoff hole after his
approach shot landed in a bunker and, lying two, he couldnt
get anywhere close to the cup on his chip.
Duke
Meanwhile, Okafor and
his merry band of freshmen
Justise Winslow, Tyus
Jones and Grayson Allen
have risen to the challenge of
the games biggest stage. The
four led the way in a semifinal blowout of Michigan
State, a game never in question after the first 5 minutes.
We want to be one of those
teams that coach is bragging
about five, seven years later,
senior guard Quinn Cook said.
So thats the motivation for
us, to be special.
As if they needed any
more motivation, Krzyzewski
has been waving his 2010
title ring in their faces all
tournament. He earned it in
Indianapolis, in the same

building as this years Final
Four, and steps away from
where he won his first championship at the Hoosier Dome
in 1991.
Thats what we want to
get, Okafor said, glancing at
the glittering ring on Coach
Ks hand. Weve always
talked about us having an
opportunity to have a national
championship ring.
The loveable goofballs
from Wisconsin (36-3) are
standing in their way, and
nobody can argue they havent earned the right. Only
three other teams have faced
the highest possible seed in
every game on the way to the
championship since the field
expanded to 64 in 1985.
Its a unit that has Altuve as the leadoff hitter.

Hes coming off a sensational season where
he hit .341 to become the first Houston player
to win a batting title and set a team record
with 225 hits.
Hinch is confident that his team will hit is out
of the park plenty this season, but is curious to
see how the rest of the offense will shake out.

bodys strong again and my swing Im starting to be able to extend on balls, which I

Liriano was thrilled when he found

out hed get a chance to lead the rotation. He signed the most lucrative freeagent contract in franchise history last
December, a three-year, $39 million deal
that showed Pittsburgh is serious about
remaining a contender.
Weve got a good rotation, Liriano
said. It means a lot to me, to know they
believe in me and want me to pitch the
opener.
The most significant change on the
Pirates: Hell be throwing to a different
catcher. Russell Martin turned down the
Pirates offer and signed a five-year, $82
million deal with Toronto. The Pirates
got catcher Francisco Cervelli from the
Yankees to replace him.
The opener also marks first baseman
Joey Vottos return to the Reds after
missing most of last season with strained
him to third and Youngpeter helped

his own cause with a hit
to second that was mishandled,
scoring Vogt for a 3-1 lead.
Slate showed no signs of injury
as he took the mound in the sixth
inning and retired the Lancers in
order, highlighted by an outstanding
catch by Youngpeter in left field.
Ryan Hellman became the third
pitcher of the game for St. Johns
and surrendered a leadoff single
to Overholt. After Overholt moved
into scoring position at second on
a 2-out wild pitch by Hellman,
Youtseys grounder to short hopped
out of the fielders glove. The
muscles above his left knee. The Reds

are hoping that a healthy Votto, combined
with Marlon Byrd playing left field,
will significantly upgrade an offense that
struggled to score runs last season.
One of Cincinnatis biggest questions
involves Cueto, who can become a free
agent after the season. Hed hoped for a new
deal before the end of spring training, but
enters the season unsure of what comes next.

Kurt Wollenhaupt opened the bottom of the seventh with a
double off Carson Ford, and Eli Kimmets infield hit put two
runners on base. Another infield knock, this one by Stockwell,
loaded the bags and Jefferson proceeded to play station-to-station baseball as the next two hitters, Rassman and Mercer
each drove in a run with a single, keeping the sacks drunk. A
hit batsman knocked in another run, as the Wildcats pulled to
within 15-9 with still nobody out.
A walk to Ryan Bullinger made it 15-10 and, with the bags
still full of Wildcats, Nick Fitch unloaded them, lining a 3-run
double up the left-center field alley. With the tying run suddenly at the plate in the person of DH Brandan Herron, Panther
coach Luke Clouse turned again to Felver in relief.
As he did in game one, the senior answered the bell and
retired the next three Wildcats in order, fanning Wollenhaupt
and Kimmet to end the contest and wrap up a wild sweep.

Horoscope
By Eugenia Last
Blondie
Resist the urge to tell others

what to do. There is a difference between making positive
suggestions and being critical.
Work on your own goals and,
first and foremost, be mindful
of the requirements expected of you. An effort to avoid
excess will improve your life
and financial future.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- You may be in a bit of
a quandary regarding important partnerships. Think of the
repercussions before saying
something that you could live
to regret. Clear the air without
placing blame or criticizing.
For Better or Worse
Beetle Bailey
TAURUS (April 20-May

20) -- Putting extra effort into
your job will gain you recognition from the powers that be.
If you are humble about your
achievements, your co-workers will be less likely to react
with jealousy.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Make an effort to prove
your loyalty and admiration to
a cause or person. Plan a trip
or make arrangements to attend an event or activity that
encourages togetherness.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Unexpected visitors will
upset your schedule. Be courteous, but dont allow anyone
to take advantage of your
good nature. Put your responsibilities and needs first.

WASHINGTON (AP) As the April 15 tax deadline

nears, people who got help paying for health insurance under
President Barack Obamas law are seeing the direct effect on
their refunds hundreds of dollars, for better or worse.
The law offers tax credits so people without access to jobbased health insurance can buy private coverage. Because
these subsidies are tied to income, consumers must accurately
estimate what they will make for the coming year.
Thats been a challenge for millions of people.
Guess on the low side, get more help now with premiums,
but owe money later at filing time. Overestimate income,
expect bucks back from the taxman.
Many consumers may not have understood that is how it
works when they signed up. Some experts caution that such
complications could discourage uninsured people from getting
covered.
Rob Tuck of Dublin, California, said he had anticipated a
refund of about $400 on his 2014 taxes. But that almost has
been wiped out because he had to repay some of the subsidy.
He changed jobs during the year, and his income went up a
little.
Tuck, who works for a San Francisco area tech-support
company, said he enrolled to avoid tax penalties for being
uninsured, but feels penalized anyway now.
I was expecting to get dinged a little bit, but I was actually
kind of surprised when it came down that much, he said.
Kelsey Park started out 2014 in Dallas, earning good
commissions by selling wedding gowns. She left for graduate
school at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, and signed
up for coverage through the law. She ended up overestimating
her income because she didnt get another job as anticipated.
Parks tax refund came to $2,500, partly because she had
too much income tax withheld and partly because she received
a smaller health care subsidy than she was entitled to.
It was hard to estimate what I would be earning because
I was transitioning in life, said Park, whos studying for a
masters degree in marketing. I tend to overestimate because
I dont want to have to pay back, she said.
The average refund is large enough to offset any repayment
in most cases, according to the Treasury Department. The
White House says the Affordable Care Act is working even
better than anticipated.
High-efficiency wood heating

systems winning converts
ATHENS, N.Y. (AP)
With the touch of a finger
on an iPod-style screen,
Eric Besenfelder can monitor and troubleshoot the
shiny, wood-pellet furnace
that heats Athens Elementary
School in the Hudson Valley.
Like the smoky, outdoor
wood boilers that have proliferated in rural areas over
the past 20 years, the wood
furnace at Athens is housed
in a shed behind the building.
But thats where the similarity ends.
This burns very cleanly
and produces very little ash,
said Besenfelder, director of
facilities for the CoxsackieAthens School District, beside
the Hudson River 30 miles
south of Albany. It takes no
more maintenance than an
oil boiler. Everythings automated.
Athens is among a growing number of schools, government buildings, nature
centers and homes that have
switched from fossil fuels
to renewable wood heat

in Northern states to save
money and support the local
forestry economy.
At least 10 states offer
incentives including grants,
low-interest loans, tax credits and training programs to
promote biomass heating,
according to the Alliance
for Green Heat. The New
York Energy Research and
Development Authority is
offering homeowners 25
percent of the installed cost
of an advanced wood-pellet
boiler up to $20,000, with
a $4,000 bonus if theyre
replacing a smoky old-fashioned wood boiler. Large
commercial installations can
get 25 percent of the cost, up
to $150,000.
The Northern Forest
Center, a nonprofit based in
Concord, New Hampshire, is
promoting the biomass heat
industry by subsidizing the
installation of high-efficiency pellet boilers in model
neighborhoods. The idea is
to create a critical mass of

users to increase familiarity
with the systems and demonstrate their value.
The first such neighborhood was launched in Berlin,
New Hampshire, in 2011, and
includes 40 homes, an arts
center and two housing complexes. Homeowners have
saved close to $160,000 on
heating fuel by switching to
pellets from oil heat, according to Northern Forest Center
director Maura Adams. The
idea is catching on beyond
the model neighborhood, with
about 300 pellet boiler installations statewide, she said.
Model
neighborhoods
have also been launched
in Maine and Vermont,
and most recently, in the
Adirondacks, where the project subsidized a pellet boiler
in the Saranac Town Hall last
November. Jerry Delaney, a
Saranac councilman, said the
town expects to save $1,000
a year by heating with pellets
instead of oil.
Pope, thousands brave rain for

Easter in St. Peters Square
VATICAN CITY (AP) In an Easter
peace wish, Pope Francis on Sunday praised
the framework nuclear agreement with Iran as
an opportunity to make the world safer, while
expressing deep worry about bloodshed in
Libya, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa.
Cautious hope ran through Francis Urbi
et Orbi Easter message, a kind of papal commentary on the state of the worlds affairs,
which he delivered from the central balcony
of St. Peters Square.
He had just celebrated Mass in rainwhipped St. Peters Square for tens of thousands of people, who huddled under umbrellas or braved the downpour in thin, plastic
rain-slickers.
Easter day is so beautiful, and so ugly
because of the rain, Francis said after Mass
about Christianitys most important feast day.
He expressed thanks for the flowers which
bedecked the square and which were donated
Trivia
by the Netherlands, but the bright hues of the

azaleas and other blossoms seemed muted by
the gray skies.
Francis made his first public comments
about the recent framework for an accord,
reached in Lausanne, Switzerland, and aimed
at ensuring Iran doesnt develop a nuclear
weapon.
In hope we entrust to the merciful Lord
the framework recently agreed to in Lausanne,
that it may be a definitive step toward a more
secure and fraternal world.
Decrying the plentitude of weapons in the
world in general, Francis said: And we ask
for peace for this world subjected to arms
dealers, who earn their living with the blood
of men and women.
He denounced absurd bloodshed and all
barbarous acts of violence in Libya, convulsed
by fighting fueled by tribal and militia rivalries.
He hoped a common desire for peace would
prevail in Yemen, wracked by civil warfare.

Casinos

I think its high time that the
people who made promises to
the citizens of the state of Ohio
live up to those promises and
start delivering the revenues that
they promised, he said.
Casino officials countered
that limiting or eliminating
the credits would cost the state
even more revenue.
Eliminating or reducing these
credits would cripple Ohios gaming industry because Ohio casinos will be forced to spend less
to promote themselves, said a
statement released by Rock Ohio
Caesars, which owns casinos in
Cincinnati and Cleveland.
