Edinger leaving district; Brinkman to step upBY NANCY SPENCER

DHI Media [email protected]

DELPHOS — One vacant principal posi-tion at Delphos City Schools has been filled. Social Studies teacher Chad Brinkman will head Jefferson High School in August fol-lowing John Edinger, who announced his resignation Monday.

The school board voted Brinkman as principal as they said farewell to Edinger, who has been a driving force at the high school for the last decade.

“I want to thank Delphos City Schools for taking a risk on a rookie,” Edinger said in parting words to the board. “This can be a tough profession. I’ve been through four superintendents and I’ve buried two employees. Chad will do great. He thinks

outside the box and is a great father.”Edinger attended his last prom on

Saturday and said commencement on May 28 will be emotional.

“I’ve seen 350 kids come through here a year,” Edinger said. “Those were my kids.”

Edinger will head Spencerville’s digital academy beginning in August.

Brinkman has been with the district for 16 years and began his teaching career at Upper Scioto Valley in 1996. The class of 1989 Ottawa-Glandorf alum is also an Ohio State University graduate and earned his administrative certification at Urbana.

“I have a passion for education and kids,” Brinkman said. “I have been empowered in my classroom and I’m ready to lead a school, not just a classroom.”

Brinkman said he has big shoes to fill.“John Edinger is loyal, genuine and pas-

sionate,” he said. “He has done a great job as principal. I don’t see a lot of challenges right away. I’ll just keep the boat straight for a while and then see what changes I want to implement. The high school has the best staff I’ve ever worked with. They’re good. Very good.”

Superintendent Kevin Wolfe echoed Brinkman’s assessment of Edinger.

“Edinger is the best I’ve ever seen,” Wolfe said. “He truly cares about the kids and everything he does is geared toward them.”

Those who attended the recent class play may have noticed a difference in the sound quality in the middle school gymnasium. The district was the recipient of more than $10,000 in sound equipment donated by Act One Productions, Inc., in Westerville. The donation was possible through a rela-

tionship between alum and district vol-unteer Rusty Thompson, who spoke with Steve Brandenburg of Act One about what kind of sound system would work best. Brandenburg then gifted the equipment to the school, saying he was upgrading and it might as well go to good use.

Thompson asked the board to write a letter of thanks to Brandenburg and also proposed a new sound system setup for the gymnasium. Thompson’s plan includes relocating several rows of seating in the auditorium and building a cabinet at the cen-ter back of the gallery that would house the equipment and could be secured when not in use. He also recommended the purchase of a $900 24-channel, 4-bus mix board to support the new wireless equipment.

Students to roll up sleeves for new vaccine requirements

BY KRISTI FISHDHI Media Staff Writer

[email protected]

Ohio seventh-graders and seniors will roll up their sleeves for a new vaccine this year. These students will now be required to receive the meningococcal vac-cine, or MCV4, to protect against meningitis.

Gov. John Kasich signed the bill requiring students to receive the meningococcal vaccine for the 2016-2017 school year in July 2015. The new law requires sev-enth-grade students receive the first dose of the vaccine and seniors receive a second dose, or booster. Prior to the upcoming school year, students were never required to receive MCV4.

Incoming seventh-grade stu-dents have been required to receive the Tdap vaccine, which protects against tetanus, diphtheria and per-tussis, since 2012. According to Lisa Horstman from Allen County Public Health, 83 percent of stu-dents age 13-17 had received the vaccine in 2014. That number is considered high, too.

“The goal for that vaccine is 80 percent,” Horstman said.

VAN WERT COUNTY — It’s that time of the year when the community needs to start gearing up and preparing for the severe weather season, said Rick McCoy, Van Wert County Emergency Management Director. Historically, severe storms usually start affecting the county around the second to third week of May of each year.

“So far this spring, thunderstorms and tornadoes have been confined south of our area and also out into the Plains. That is about to change,” McCoy said.

A change in the jet stream along with the pattern of coming out of a strong El Nino winter means stormy days ahead for the last half of May and the month of June.

“If history repeats itself like past weakening El Nino’s, strong storms will affect the area followed by a hot, dry summer,” McCloy said.

In preparing for a possible active sea-son, the EMA is suggesting the following tips in safety preparedness:

Know how to get alerts in severe weather events and how to protect your-self. These include:

— Listen to local AM/FM radio for announcements.

— Follow EMA statements if you have a scanner on frequency 155.805 MHz.

— Purchase a NOAA all-hazards weather radio for National Weather Service alerts.

— Sign up for Nixle cell phone text alerts through the Van Wert EMA web-site.

— Follow the EMA website at www.vanwertema.com, which shares National Weather Service Radar, Watch and Warning information.

— Monitor the Van Wert EMA Facebook page for weather updates.

McCoy urges resident to get ready for severe weather season

MARION TOWNSHIP — Marion Township Trustees met Monday at the Marion Township office with the follow-ing members present: Joseph Youngpeter, Jerry Gilden and Howard Violet.

The purpose of the meeting was to pay bills and conduct ongoing business. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved as read.

The trustees then reviewed the bills and gave approval for 15 checks totaling $10,337.93.

Road Foreman Elwer reported that they started doing patch-ing on the township roads and also they did some tile cleaning along Bliss Road and Billymack Road.

Fiscal Officer Kimmet gave the trustees the Fund Status and Bank Reconciliation Reports for April 30 to review and sign.

He also asked for a resolution to move monies from with-in the General Fund due to an unexpected increase from the health district which was made by Trustee Violet.

He gave the trustees a copy of the 2017 Budget for their review.

There being no further business, a motion by Trustee Gilden to adjourn was seconded by Trustee Violet and passed unani-mously.


LIMA — The odds of beating breast cancer have never been better, thanks to advancements in early detec-tion and treatment. Lima Memorial joins this fight by bringing this latest enhance-ment in mammographic imaging to the Women’s Health Center at the Lima Memorial Medical Park.

3D mammography, or Tomosyntheses, is a new screening and diagnostic test for breast cancer offering women and their physicians a more accurate way to detect the presence of breast abnor-malities. 3D mammography is a significant advance in mammographic imaging. Traditional technology, or 2D mammography, gives phy-sicians two views of each breast from right angles, taken from the top and side of the breast. Breast tissue can sometimes overlap, creating an illusion that makes nor-mal tissue appear abnormal, or possibly hiding potential issues. With 3D technology, multiple images from varying angles are taken, allowing the radiologist to see more clear-ly through the multiple layers of breast tissue.

Early data suggests that 3D mammograms detect more cancers earlier, which means the cancers are small-er and often easier to treat. There is also greater accura-cy in pinpointing size, shape, and location of abnormali-

ties. This can result in finding cancers that might be missed with conventional 2D mam-mography. It also means less chance of being called back for more images.

“This new technol-ogy gives us more defini-tive results, as it removes superimposed distractions,” said Darlene Weyer, DO, Medical Director of the Women’s Health Center at Lima Memorial. With 2D mammography, about 5 to 12 percent of women are called back for follow-up testing, which can result in false positives and unnecessary additional follow-up testing, including biopsies. The 3D technology has been found to reduce that number by 15 percent. “This means some women don’t need addition-al imaging, which reduces stress, false positives and costs,” Dr. Weyer said.

The radiation exposure with a 3D mammogram is well within the safe zone. The total radiation dose, even when both 2D and 3D images are obtained from the same mammogram, is below the limit under the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) set forth by the FDA.

To schedule a Genius 3D MAMMOGRAPHY™ exam or more information about this important breast health procedure, please contact the Women’s Health Center at Lima Memorial by calling 419-998-4497.

LIMA — The Allen County Museum will host “Reminiscing the Golden Years

of Radio” with presenter Larry Oatman at 2 p.m. May 22.

Before there was live streaming or television, families gathered around

the radio for news and entertain-ment. From the late 1920s through the 1950s, national and local radio personalities were welcomed into the homes of Americans across the coun-try. Relying solely on their listening skills, audiences put their imagina-tions to work as they were entertained by Fibber McGee and Molly or Amos and Andy. Locally, citizens enjoyed listening to Hugh Downs, Easter Straker, Cliff Willis, Tom Francis and more.

Oatman will take attendees on a nostalgic trip back into the days of radio. He will share his audio trea-sures, recreating national favorites and local broadcasters as well. A Lima native, Oatman was a radio and television announcer for several years. He was also a disc jockey and emceed stage shows featuring rock ‘n’ roll bands and even the Glenn Miller Orchestra. He enjoys old-time radio programs and his collection currently includes over 68,000 programs.

This program is free and open to the public.

The museum is located at 620 W. Market St., Lima.

FORT JENNINGS — Do you believe in ghosts? Exploring the unexplained is the mission of a group called the Ohio Researchers of Banded Spirits (ORBS) and on Saturday, they will be coming to Fort Jennings to investigate the Jennings Memorial Hall and the original fort site and cemetery.

ORBS is one of Ohio’s top paranormal teams, and has been featured on several television shows including seasons one and two of Animal Planet’s series, “The Haunted”; Biography Channel’s, “My Ghost Story”; and on the History Channel’s “Haunted History.” The team’s preliminary assessment of these sites will lead up to a Ghost Tour to be held in Fort Jennings this October.

ORBS contacted the Memorial Hall group last year after hearing about the failed haunted house attraction shut down by a complaint to the State Fire Marshall.

“I brought it to the attention of my team, and we decided we would love to help to raise money for the cause,” ORBS Project Manager Karlo Zuzic said. “Our goal has always been to raise money for our historical landmarks so they can be around for others to enjoy”.

The Fort Jennings Ghost Hunt, coming in October, will be open to the public for an admission. The event is designed to educate and entertain participants of all ages. All proceeds from the event will return to the Memorial Hall for further preservation efforts. The October date for the ghost hunt is yet to be determined.

COLUMBUS — Senate President Keith Faber on Monday announced the return of the popular Ohio Sales Tax Holiday for Aug. 5-7, providing relief for families during the back-to-school shopping season.

Cosponsored by Senator Faber, Senate Bill 264 allows Ohio’s families to save on back-to-school sup-plies by providing a sales and use tax exemption for customers purchasing cer-tain retail items during the first weekend in August.

Governor Kasich signed the legislation last week reestablishing the event, widely hailed as successful

in its inaugural effort last year.

“Ohio’s Sales Tax Holiday will once again assist families as they send their children back to school,” said Faber. “This provides an opportunity for families to keep more of their hard-earned money while boosting sales for local retailers.”

In 2015, the tax-free shopping period was praised by both back-to-school shoppers and retailers. The legislation also requires all online vendors to waive the collection of local and state sales taxes on designated items during the three-day tax holiday.

In the Waiting Room ...

with Dr. Celeste Lopez

Space InvadersWhen you become a parent, one of the

first things you become aware of is that you no longer have any personal space. Children tend to cling. If you are in the kitchen they are in the kitchen, usually hanging on your leg. If you are in the bathroom, they are in the bathroom or pounding on the door wondering when you are coming out. Really? There isn’t an escape hatch in here; I promise I will come out.

If you want to read the newspaper, they are in your lap. When you sit down, they want you to come play with them. They surround you like orbiting planets and your magnetic force field keeps pulling them closer to you. You get used to it. You accept that the con-cept of “alone time” no longer exists for you. Don’t get me wrong; there is nothing better than snuggling on the couch with a cute tod-dler and it’s fun to have them toddling around after you like baby ducks.

The constant presence is something you come to expect, which makes it all the more difficult when they become teenagers and completely disappear from your solar system. Suddenly, the kid who was always bouncing around in whatever room I was in, the kid who wanted to watch whatever show I was watching and talk to whoever I was on the phone with, is never around. He is off with his friends, he listens to his own music, watches his own TV shows and doesn’t need me to share his leisure time.

You would think that after years of having no “me time” this would be great. I will admit that sometimes it is but mostly I miss that kid. I miss not having him there when I am

watching TV. I miss that there is no one there snatching all the cookie dough out of the bowl while I am making cookies. I miss having my “wingman” with me whenever I went to the store. That is the funny thing about kids. Just when they are getting fun and interesting, they no longer find you either fun or interesting.

Now, suddenly I am the one who is invad-ing his space. He no longer likes the shows we used to watch together, he doesn’t like the songs we used to listen to and I am way too inept at video games to make it fun for either one of us.

I suppose I should count my blessings: he still talks to me, he will go out to eat with me and he is, on occasion, willing to go to the movies with me (if he has no one better to go with).

I also now have time for reading and craft-ing. I can watch any show on TV that I want to. When I go to the grocery store, I don’t have to argue about what cereal to buy or drag him from the toy aisle. So it isn’t all bad but for you parents out there who still have your little space invaders in the house, don’t forget to enjoy every moment. They will be on their own before you know it.

VAN WERT COUNTY — The date for livestock identifi-cation and weigh-in has been announced.

Sheep, Goat and Dairy Feeder Weigh-in will be June 4 at the Van Wert County Fairgrounds. Dairy feeders will weigh in at the beef barn and sheep and goats will weigh at the Hog Barn. Animals will weigh in from 7:30-10:30 a.m. Exhibitors must be present with their animal to identify it and weigh-in but the animal must attend weigh-in to be eligible to participate in the Jr. Fair.

All exhibitors should enter off of Fox Road and will receive further instruc-tions. Once parked, exhibitors should wait until their ani-mals are identified before they cross the scales. Sheep and goat exhibitors may direct-ly enter the scales as their identification is their USDA scrapies tag.

Hog exhibitors will be asked to pick up identification tags for their animals and return the paperwork and required photo identification in lieu of physi-cally tagging on location. No hogs are to be brought onto the fairgrounds for any of the tag-ging events. FFA members will be given tags by their advisors. 4-H members can pick up their tags on June 4 during the weigh-in for dairy feeders, goats and sheep at the south end of the fairgrounds near the Farm Focus Arena. Tags can be picked up from 8-10:30 a.m.

BY TED VERHOFFTrade & Industrial

supervisor

T h e P r e c i s i o n Machining, Electricity and Industrial Mechanics pro-grams at Vantage recent-ly received the news that they were awarded an Ohio Straight A Grant for $500,000 through the Robotics and Advanced Manufacturing Technology Education Collaborative (RAMTEC) which is housed at Tri-Rivers Career Center in Marion. These grant monies will be used to supplement the two pro-grammable robots and one robotic welder currently at Vantage.

Included in the grant is money for both Motoman and FANUC industrial robots and simulators, CNC machines and certifica-tions, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC’s) and hydraulic trainers. Along

with the equipment come opportunities for students to get certifications in a variety of advanced manu-facturing operations.

“This is an incredible opportunity for not only Vantage Career Center and its students but also for the area businesses that rely on robotics in their facilities. This grant will allow us to stay current in the area of robotics and allow our stu-dents to be trained on state-of—the-art equipment,” stated Ted Verhoff, Trade and Industrial Supervisor.

The equipment and curriculum is expected to arrive in the next 6-7 months.

“Vantage would like to thank General Motors Powertrain (Defiance) and B.K. Tool (Kalida) for their letters of support in order for us to receive the grant. Students from Continental, Fort Jennings, Kalida, Delphos and Ottoville, as

well as seven other schools ,will be able to take advan-tage of this opportunity,” said Verhoff. “Advanced manufacturing continues to thrive in our region and it is imperative that Vantage

does its part in order to train our students not only for their chosen career field but also for the many col-leges that offer degrees in the advanced manufactur-ing industry.”

Pictured with the Motoman and FANUC robots are, from left, Kyle Maag (Fort Jennings), Isaac Smith (Kalida), Alex Burgei (Ottoville) and Marcus Landin (Kalida), all juniors in the Vantage Industrial Mechanics program taught by Kevin Van Oss. (Submitted photo)

What happens in Vegas … and the Draft revisited

As most everyone knows by now, I did spend a few days in Las Vegas last week-end/week, so I did miss a few days at work.

Needless to say, what happens in Vegas … There is nothing to see here!

Also needless to say, it was a lot of fun but I never imagined doing so much walking.

For all of the 2,356,434 of my loyal readers, my legs and feet are doing just … fine!

Sometimes, you just need to get away and change your perspective now and then. It does a body good.

==========Now, I will pick up from the NFL Draft.I realize that that the Draft has become BIG business; it is

a professional football junkie’s second-biggest fix (after the games themselves).

It has to be if you are going to stay enthused for three days.I have written before that I never thought it was a good idea

but, as in all things modern when it comes to sports, bigger has become (supposedly) better and definitely more lucrative.

I thought the Cleveland Browns made the smart move to trade down and acquire a bunch more draft picks instead of grabbing a “top” rookie QB and letting him get pounded.

Again, it reminded me of what that sly old fox Jimmy Johnson did in rebuilding the Dallas Cowboys after the Gil Brandt/Tex Schramm/Tom Landry brain trust let that team fall apart when it let its “we can get the player(s) no one else can” (meaning the players no one wanted!) attitude grow unchecked.

The Browns maybe have realized you don’t build with the QB first because he gets the snot beaten out of him — you build around him first, then pluck your guy.

They needed to build the roster first and with 14 picks, I think they have upgraded the talent considerably.

As I have written before, imagine if Big Ben had gone to the Browns instead of Tim Couch. I wonder if Big Ben would still be upright.

I am glad they are giving Robert Griffith III a legit chance — I think he can still play but needed a change in scenery — and Cody Kessler is a lot better than what people think.

The Cincinnati Bengals didn’t have nearly as many picks — seven — but from all accounts, they made good use of all of them.

We shall see if they begin to reverse their recent trend of taking a chance on bad boys.

As I wrote before, I think my team, Dallas, did a good think in taking Zeke Elliott out of OSU in the first round.

They also got around to drafting a quarterback, Dak Prescott, out of Mississippi State in the fourth round.

They hadn’t taken a quarterback since Stephen McGee, a “quarterback” (more like a running back playing QB) drafted in the fourth round in 2009 who started one lousy game (even with Tony Romo injuries twice shortening his season consid-erably).

Monday Roundup

’Cats rout Rangers in hardballBY JIM METCALFE

DHI Media Sports [email protected]

DELPHOS — Jefferson’s baseball crew put it all together Monday evening at Wildcat Field.

They used a 3-head-ed crew to piece together a 5-inning no-hitter.

They totaled up 12 hits, five of them doubles.

They also had only one error.

All told, it amounted to a 10-0 rout of New Knoxville.

The no-hitter was between starter Gage Mercer (2 1/3 innings, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts), lefty Jake Pulford (1 2/3 IP, 1 walk, 3 Ks) and Brett Mahlie (1 IP, 1 hit batter, 3 Ks) that combined for 81 pitches (48 for strikes).

The offense was paced by cleanup hitter Pulford (3-for-3, 6 runs batted in on two doubles and a single), third batter Jace Stockwell (3-for-3, 1 RBI, 3 runs scored) and sixth batter Eli Kimmett (2-for-3, RBI).

The only base-runners for the Rangers (2-18) were Nick Topp on a 2-out walk in the first, reaching third on a steal and an error; Topp on a 1-out walk in the fourth (2 steals); and Jared Osborne on a 2-out hit-by-pitch (steal).

“Our offense has been hit or miss; we haven’t been consistent by any means. We have gotten better as the season goes; today, we got

the swings together and we gained confidence,” Jefferson head coach Doug Geary said. “Pitching wise, we didn’t have Gage at the start of the year and we had a cou-ple others we were expect-ing to help have arm issues, so some young guys were forced to get innings. Now, basically, we’re healthy. The key from our rebound from a 1-10 start is our defense. We have played much better defensively the last half of the season.”

The Wildcats (9-16) got the only runs they needed

in the home first against Rangers complete-game starter Nathan Merges. With one gone, Damien Dudgeon walked, Stockwell singled and both scored courtesy of Pulford’s double down the right-field line. Easton Siefker’s double to left plated Dudgeon for a 3-nil edge.

Jefferson made it 7-0 in the second. With one gone, Mercer lined a hit to left, stole second, moved to third on a bunt single by Dudgeon and scored on an error on the play, with the batter advanc-ing to second. Stockwell’s

infield hit put runners on the corner. After he stole sec-ond, Pulford’s second 2-RBI double made it 6-0. The lat-ter scored on a 2-out bloop double by Kimmett between three fielders in short center.

Delphos closed scoring in the home third. Again with one down, Mahlie ground-ed a hit up the gut, burgled second and — after Mercer walked — scored on a 2-out ground-rule double to left by Stockwell. Pulford’s ground-er to center plated Mercer and Stockwell for a 10-0 edge.

Kalida Schools set to hire Stechschulte to replace venerable Coach Kortokrax


KALIDA — According to Kalida Athletic Director Adam Huber, Kalida Local Schools has concluded its inter-view process and it intends to recom-mend a new boys basketball coach at the board meeting today.

The administration has offered the position to Ryan Stechschulte, former head coach at Columbus Grove High School.

Stechschulte is a 1999 graduate of Fort Jennings High School and a 2002

graduate of the University of Findlay.He began his coaching career at

Fort Jennings High School, serving as a varsity assistant for three seasons before moving to the same position at Columbus Grove for the 2006-07 sea-son.

He then moved up to the head junior varsity coach at Grove for four seasons from 2007-11 before moving to the top position starting in the 2011-12 season after Todd Turnwald left to become the head coach at Ottoville.

While at Grove, Coach Stechschulte

had a 4-year record of 67-31, which included a Putnam County League title in 2012, sectional titles all four years and District finals appearances in 2012, 2013 and 2015.

Stechschulte replaces Hall of Fame Coach Richard Kortokrax, Ohio’s all-time winningest boys’ basketball coach, who announced his retirement from coaching boys basketball at Kalida High School on April 22 following 890 career wins.

Smith hires on as new cage coach for Shenandoah HS

BY JIM METCALFEDHI Media Sports Editor

[email protected]

DELPHOS — Challenges come to every life, so it’s what you do with them that makes for success or failure.

Former Jefferson boys basketball coach Marc Smith, who announced his resigna-tion from that post in early March, took his time to figure out how to deal with his latest challenge.

However, with his love of coaching basketball, that was always going to be part of the equation.

It’s no surprise, then, that his next move is to Shenandoah High School — in Sarahsville, near the West Virginia border in southeast Ohio — and coach boys bas-ketball for the Zeps’ varsity program.

The Zeps are part of the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference.

“I applied to five schools and was offered the job by three of them: Shenandoah; Cripple Creek in Colorado; and LaJunta in Colorado. I really liked LaJunta but the prospect of moving my fami-ly so far away was a negative for us,” he explained. “Things hadn’t fallen into place at that time to do so. Shenandoah is a good situation and every-thing did fall into place. They are a basketball school with an improving football program; they had a basket-ball coach that retired about seven years ago that won 454

games. However, they’ve had two since and they’ve strug-gled, so they are looking for a turnaround.

“I hit it off immediately with the administration and we have a similar approach to doing things; they don’t want a quick fix and neither do I. I’d like to win immediately but that’s not the immediate goal. I think what I bring to the table: discipline, organi-zation, the desire to build a youth program and build a feeder system for the high school; is what they wanted. We’re looking to build suc-cess the right way.”

He has been making the regular 6-hour round trip a number of times.

“I’ve been to their open gyms a few times now. I have talked to the players — they have nine lettermen and four starters back from a 4-19 team last year but it will take some time to find out what that really means — and their families and I like what I see: work ethic, ath-leticism, a desire to improve. I like the possibilities that are being presented to me,” he continued. “The final piece of the puzzle was that it’s a place where my daughter is really comfortable. They have a strong volleyball program and she has a desire to be part of that, plus they have an up and coming basketball pro-gram; she also is excited to be part of that as an incoming freshman.

What happens in Vegas … and the Draft revisited

As most everyone knows by now, I did spend a few days in Las Vegas last week-end/week, so I did miss a few days at work.

Needless to say, what happens in Vegas … There is nothing to see here!

Also needless to say, it was a lot of fun but I never imagined doing so much walking.

For all of the 2,356,434 of my loyal readers, my legs and feet are doing just … fine!

Sometimes, you just need to get away and change your perspective now and then. It does a body good.

==========Now, I will pick up from the NFL Draft.I realize that that the Draft has become BIG business; it is

a professional football junkie’s second-biggest fix (after the games themselves).

It has to be if you are going to stay enthused for three days.I have written before that I never thought it was a good idea

but, as in all things modern when it comes to sports, bigger has become (supposedly) better and definitely more lucrative.

I thought the Cleveland Browns made the smart move to trade down and acquire a bunch more draft picks instead of grabbing a “top” rookie QB and letting him get pounded.

Again, it reminded me of what that sly old fox Jimmy Johnson did in rebuilding the Dallas Cowboys after the Gil Brandt/Tex Schramm/Tom Landry brain trust let that team fall apart when it let its “we can get the player(s) no one else can” (meaning the players no one wanted!) attitude grow unchecked.

The Browns maybe have realized you don’t build with the QB first because he gets the snot beaten out of him — you build around him first, then pluck your guy.

They needed to build the roster first and with 14 picks, I think they have upgraded the talent considerably.

As I have written before, imagine if Big Ben had gone to the Browns instead of Tim Couch. I wonder if Big Ben would still be upright.

I am glad they are giving Robert Griffith III a legit chance — I think he can still play but needed a change in scenery — and Cody Kessler is a lot better than what people think.

The Cincinnati Bengals didn’t have nearly as many picks — seven — but from all accounts, they made good use of all of them.

We shall see if they begin to reverse their recent trend of taking a chance on bad boys.

As I wrote before, I think my team, Dallas, did a good think in taking Zeke Elliott out of OSU in the first round.

They also got around to drafting a quarterback, Dak Prescott, out of Mississippi State in the fourth round.

They hadn’t taken a quarterback since Stephen McGee, a “quarterback” (more like a running back playing QB) drafted in the fourth round in 2009 who started one lousy game (even with Tony Romo injuries twice shortening his season consid-erably).

Monday Roundup

’Cats rout Rangers in hardballBY JIM METCALFE

DHI Media Sports [email protected]

DELPHOS — Jefferson’s baseball crew put it all together Monday evening at Wildcat Field.

They used a 3-head-ed crew to piece together a 5-inning no-hitter.

They totaled up 12 hits, five of them doubles.

They also had only one error.

All told, it amounted to a 10-0 rout of New Knoxville.

The no-hitter was between starter Gage Mercer (2 1/3 innings, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts), lefty Jake Pulford (1 2/3 IP, 1 walk, 3 Ks) and Brett Mahlie (1 IP, 1 hit batter, 3 Ks) that combined for 81 pitches (48 for strikes).

The offense was paced by cleanup hitter Pulford (3-for-3, 6 runs batted in on two doubles and a single), third batter Jace Stockwell (3-for-3, 1 RBI, 3 runs scored) and sixth batter Eli Kimmett (2-for-3, RBI).

The only base-runners for the Rangers (2-18) were Nick Topp on a 2-out walk in the first, reaching third on a steal and an error; Topp on a 1-out walk in the fourth (2 steals); and Jared Osborne on a 2-out hit-by-pitch (steal).

“Our offense has been hit or miss; we haven’t been consistent by any means. We have gotten better as the season goes; today, we got

the swings together and we gained confidence,” Jefferson head coach Doug Geary said. “Pitching wise, we didn’t have Gage at the start of the year and we had a cou-ple others we were expect-ing to help have arm issues, so some young guys were forced to get innings. Now, basically, we’re healthy. The key from our rebound from a 1-10 start is our defense. We have played much better defensively the last half of the season.”

The Wildcats (9-16) got the only runs they needed

in the home first against Rangers complete-game starter Nathan Merges. With one gone, Damien Dudgeon walked, Stockwell singled and both scored courtesy of Pulford’s double down the right-field line. Easton Siefker’s double to left plated Dudgeon for a 3-nil edge.

Jefferson made it 7-0 in the second. With one gone, Mercer lined a hit to left, stole second, moved to third on a bunt single by Dudgeon and scored on an error on the play, with the batter advanc-ing to second. Stockwell’s

infield hit put runners on the corner. After he stole sec-ond, Pulford’s second 2-RBI double made it 6-0. The lat-ter scored on a 2-out bloop double by Kimmett between three fielders in short center.

Delphos closed scoring in the home third. Again with one down, Mahlie ground-ed a hit up the gut, burgled second and — after Mercer walked — scored on a 2-out ground-rule double to left by Stockwell. Pulford’s ground-er to center plated Mercer and Stockwell for a 10-0 edge.

Kalida Schools set to hire Stechschulte to replace venerable Coach Kortokrax


KALIDA — According to Kalida Athletic Director Adam Huber, Kalida Local Schools has concluded its inter-view process and it intends to recom-mend a new boys basketball coach at the board meeting today.

The administration has offered the position to Ryan Stechschulte, former head coach at Columbus Grove High School.

Stechschulte is a 1999 graduate of Fort Jennings High School and a 2002

graduate of the University of Findlay.He began his coaching career at

Fort Jennings High School, serving as a varsity assistant for three seasons before moving to the same position at Columbus Grove for the 2006-07 sea-son.

He then moved up to the head junior varsity coach at Grove for four seasons from 2007-11 before moving to the top position starting in the 2011-12 season after Todd Turnwald left to become the head coach at Ottoville.

While at Grove, Coach Stechschulte

had a 4-year record of 67-31, which included a Putnam County League title in 2012, sectional titles all four years and District finals appearances in 2012, 2013 and 2015.

Stechschulte replaces Hall of Fame Coach Richard Kortokrax, Ohio’s all-time winningest boys’ basketball coach, who announced his retirement from coaching boys basketball at Kalida High School on April 22 following 890 career wins.

They are a basketball school with an improving football program; they had a basket-ball coach that retired about seven years ago that won 454

games. However, they’ve had two since and they’ve strug-gled, so they are looking for a turnaround.

“I hit it off immediately with the administration and we have a similar approach to doing things; they don’t want a quick fix and neither do I. I’d like to win immediately but that’s not the immediate goal. I think what I bring to the table: discipline, organi-zation, the desire to build a youth program and build a feeder system for the high school; is what they wanted. We’re looking to build suc-cess the right way.”

He has been making the regular 6-hour round trip a number of times.

“I’ve been to their open gyms a few times now. I have talked to the players — they have nine lettermen and four starters back from a 4-19 team last year but it will take some time to find out what that really means — and their families and I like what I see: work ethic, ath-leticism, a desire to improve. I like the possibilities that are being presented to me,” he continued. “The final piece of the puzzle was that it’s a place where my daughter is really comfortable. They have a strong volleyball program and she has a desire to be part of that, plus they have an up and coming basketball pro-gram; she also is excited to be part of that as an incoming freshman.

“My wife and I have already found employ-ment as physical therapists in that area, which is another reason for us to go there. All we’ve

been doing in this 2-month process is what we needed to do and we’ve taken it one day at a time. Things have fallen into place and we’re trusting in the Good Lord that things continue to fall into place.”


After all, Romo will be 36 and is becoming ever more fragile as he ages.

Taking a linebacker — Notre Dame’s Jaylon Smith — in the second round know-ing he will not be available until at least 2017 (and per-haps never due to nerve dam-age after a knee injury) is boneheaded.

Listen, guys, you’re defense is still such a question

mark to the point you can’t be taking big chances like that. Not in the second round; that’s a seventh-round gam-ble, like drafting a basketball player — Rico Gathers from Baylor — who hasn’t played football since high school.

It helps to be 6-7, 276 pounds.

What I will be looking for is the hidden gem; the guy that didn’t get drafted but signed a free-agent contract and latches on to a team.

After all, there have been more than a few non-drafted guys — a la Romo — that have had pretty good careers.

I still say you need to build through the draft and the smart use of free agency but it doesn’t hurt to be lucky.

After all, the draft is only looking at results from col-lege and potential — what a guy may or may not do in the NFL.

Remember Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf?

Practical Money

Should you join the Gig Economy?

BY NATHANIEL SILLIN

Today, our standard workday isn’t so standard anymore and we’re talking more about “gigs” – alternative work arrange-ments that often depend on the latest technology and a desire to set one’s own schedule and pay. However, the question is whether everyone plans for the reality of the work or the impact self-employment in any form can have on his or her long-term finances.

Gig workers – a broad spectrum that includes temporary help agency workers, on-call employees, contract company workers, independent contractors and freelancers – were mea-sured as a startling and growing economic force in a March study by Harvard and Princeton researchers (https://krueger.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/akrueger/files/katz_krueger_cws_-_march_29_20165.pdf). According to their measure-ments, this diverse group of earners that made up 10.1 percent of the workforce in February 2005 has grown to nearly 16 percent as of late 2015.

Anyone thinking about going into business in place of or in addition to their day job should consider a planning period with the help of a qualified financial or tax expert. Major issues to cover include:

Consider qualified tax and financial advice. Switching to gig work – even if you find lucrative contract work in your field – can be an enormous shock to your finances. Cash flow can be irregular, disrupting budgets and long-term savings. It’s a good idea to get some qualified financial and tax advice so you understand the changes you might face and to keep major financial goals like retirement and college savings on track.

Setting up a business structure: While most gig economy participants settle on a sole proprietorship or some form of lim-ited liability company (LLC) business structure, (https://www.sba.gov/starting-business/choose-your-business-structure) the choice needs to be carefully considered based on your par-ticular business activity, overall tax situation and other finan-cial factors unique to you. This is probably one of the most important reasons to seek out qualified tax, legal or financial expertise – the level of personal or property risk inherent in your choice might call for a structure that offers additional protection against lawsuits or insurance claims.

Think carefully about your benefits… Unless you fit a par-ticular group exempt (https://www.healthcare.gov/health-cov-erage-exemptions/exemptions-from-the-fee/) from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or are insured by a spouse or partner, you’ll have to invest in healthcare insurance for yourself or consider the cost of being uninsured. This is a particularly important expense to plan in advance based on your health needs and the type of affordable coverage that’s available. Get referrals on qualified health insurance agents to get a full range of choices. And most of all, make a plan to keep saving and investing your money for long-term goals. Walking away from a weekly check can make that process tougher – talk about it and plan for it.

Track your spending and planning carefully. If you don’t budget or track your expenses now, it’s time to start. Being in business entitles you to certain deductions for home office expenses, equipment and other costs related to your work. So whether you use a specific software program or a computer spreadsheet or paper and pen to track your expenses, do so regularly to avoid missing items that could eventually save you money. If you’re working with a tax professional or financial planner, coordinate this recordkeeping with the work they’re doing for you. Also keep a constant discussion going about saving for the future, including retirement.

Make sure you’re really right for this. With proper planning, the gig economy can be both enjoyable and challenging. You’ll not only learn whether you can support yourself, but also whether you’ll enjoy doing it long-term. Many of us dream of being our own boss, but reality can be very different, particu-larly when managing uneven earnings and cash flow common to many new companies. It’s not just about business; it’s about whether your lifestyle and personality traits (https://hbr.org/2010/02/should-you-be-an-entrepreneur) make you right for operating a business in this economy – or any economy.

Bottom line: Plenty of people find themselves dealing either by choice or necessity with the brave new world of “gig” work. It’s important to approach it as a financial and lifestyle decision on par with starting a business.

Practical Money

Should you join the Gig Economy?

BY NATHANIEL SILLIN

Today, our standard workday isn’t so standard anymore and we’re talking more about “gigs” – alternative work arrange-ments that often depend on the latest technology and a desire to set one’s own schedule and pay. However, the question is whether everyone plans for the reality of the work or the impact self-employment in any form can have on his or her long-term finances.

Gig workers – a broad spectrum that includes temporary help agency workers, on-call employees, contract company workers, independent contractors and freelancers – were mea-sured as a startling and growing economic force in a March study by Harvard and Princeton researchers (https://krueger.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/akrueger/files/katz_krueger_cws_-_march_29_20165.pdf). According to their measure-ments, this diverse group of earners that made up 10.1 percent of the workforce in February 2005 has grown to nearly 16 percent as of late 2015.

Anyone thinking about going into business in place of or in addition to their day job should consider a planning period with the help of a qualified financial or tax expert. Major issues to cover include:

Consider qualified tax and financial advice. Switching to gig work – even if you find lucrative contract work in your field – can be an enormous shock to your finances. Cash flow can be irregular, disrupting budgets and long-term savings. It’s a good idea to get some qualified financial and tax advice so you understand the changes you might face and to keep major financial goals like retirement and college savings on track.

Setting up a business structure: While most gig economy participants settle on a sole proprietorship or some form of lim-ited liability company (LLC) business structure, (https://www.sba.gov/starting-business/choose-your-business-structure) the choice needs to be carefully considered based on your par-ticular business activity, overall tax situation and other finan-cial factors unique to you. This is probably one of the most important reasons to seek out qualified tax, legal or financial expertise – the level of personal or property risk inherent in your choice might call for a structure that offers additional protection against lawsuits or insurance claims.

Think carefully about your benefits… Unless you fit a par-ticular group exempt (https://www.healthcare.gov/health-cov-erage-exemptions/exemptions-from-the-fee/) from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or are insured by a spouse or partner, you’ll have to invest in healthcare insurance for yourself or consider the cost of being uninsured. This is a particularly important expense to plan in advance based on your health needs and the type of affordable coverage that’s available. Get referrals on qualified health insurance agents to get a full range of choices. And most of all, make a plan to keep saving and investing your money for long-term goals. Walking away from a weekly check can make that process tougher – talk about it and plan for it.

Track your spending and planning carefully. If you don’t budget or track your expenses now, it’s time to start. Being in business entitles you to certain deductions for home office expenses, equipment and other costs related to your work. So whether you use a specific software program or a computer spreadsheet or paper and pen to track your expenses, do so regularly to avoid missing items that could eventually save you money. If you’re working with a tax professional or financial planner, coordinate this recordkeeping with the work they’re doing for you. Also keep a constant discussion going about saving for the future, including retirement.

Make sure you’re really right for this. With proper planning, the gig economy can be both enjoyable and challenging. You’ll not only learn whether you can support yourself, but also whether you’ll enjoy doing it long-term. Many of us dream of being our own boss, but reality can be very different, particu-larly when managing uneven earnings and cash flow common to many new companies. It’s not just about business; it’s about whether your lifestyle and personality traits (https://hbr.org/2010/02/should-you-be-an-entrepreneur) make you right for operating a business in this economy – or any economy.

Bottom line: Plenty of people find themselves dealing either by choice or necessity with the brave new world of “gig” work. It’s important to approach it as a financial and lifestyle decision on par with starting a business.

Frank Sinatra (1915-1998) singer, actor, entertainer known to many as “Ol’ Blue Eyes” and “The Chairman of the Board”. He hailed from Hoboken, New Jersey, was a rec-ognized member of the “great ones” club, and entertained audiences for the better part of six decades. (1939-1994)

A few unforgettable songs:“Strangers in the Night” #1 Top 100 1966“My Way” #27 Top 100 1969“High Hopes” #30 1959“I’ve Got You Under My Skin” 1956“New York, New York” #32 Top 100 1977When one thinks of the greatest singers,

performers, entertainers, memorable voices of all time, Frank Sinatra will always be in the conversation. Some place his name at the very top of the list. And to think he shared star time with fellow “Rat Pack” buddies Sammy Davis Jr, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop. I suspect the real-time experi-ence of Big Band Swing music, led by Frank Sinatra singing, simply didn’t get any better back in the day.

A few interesting notations about Frank Sinatra:

He won an Academy Award for Best Actor in A Supporting Role in the 1953 movie “From Here to Eternity.”

He relied on good ears to carry a tune having never formally learned to read music.

In December of 1963, his son Frank Jr, was kidnapped. Sinatra paid $240,000 ransom for the safe return of his son.

When performing he always requested red carpet, secured by tacks no more than 18 inches between from his room to the perfor-mance stage.

Fred Silverman renamed the cartoon char-acter “Too Much” to “Scooby-Doo” based on the “scoobie-doobie-do” from Sinatra’s hit version of “Strangers in the Night”.

Through the years Sinatra kept some name-dropping company from Harry James to Tommy Dorsey, the “Rat Pack” (though they referred to themselves as “The Summit”), JFK, don’t forget Don Rickles, and enjoyed late career duets with Aretha Franklin, Bono & Willie Nelson. Married four times, Sinatra enjoyed a yo-yoing star power from 1940 to his death in 1998.

When pondering solo artists with the great-est stage presence through the 20th Century, who’s at the top of your list? Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson…?

HOROSCOPESARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20A restless spirit is the catalyst for

a new project, Aries. This week you dive right into something that will take up all of your mental energy. Try to avoid slacking off in other areas.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21Taurus, thanks to your hectic

schedule, achieving lofty goals this week may be a stretch, so aim for something a little more manageable and celebrate the achievement.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21Gemini, though you may be con-

tent to remain out of the spotlight most of the time, when you engage with others, you really can show just how compelling you are.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22You may be expected to step up

and care for people all of the time, but this week you’re the one who needs some special attention, Can-cer. All you have to do is reach out for assistance.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, you have many good rea-

sons to throw caution to the wind this week, but you may have to reign in your adventurous spirit just a little bit. You’re an example to others.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22Listen carefully to your intuition

this week, Virgo. Most of the time you can trust that little voice more than outside influences. Focus on your dreams for a bit.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, when things become com-

plicated, you’re the person people often seek to iron out the situation. You have a way of quickly getting to the root of a problem.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, even though you nor-

mally think cooly and collectedly, this week you may be at the end of your rope. Book some time for a lit-tle R&R to recharge your batteries.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

Sagittarius, positive encounters, including an unexpected meeting with an old friend, could make for an interesting week. Your social life is booming.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, you have a measured

and methodical approach to your goals. This week, though, your sense of fun may take over and steer you off course.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18Consider your words before shar-

ing your perspective, Aquarius. You do not want to hurt anyone’s feel-ings, even if what you have to say is the truth. Word things carefully.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20Your self-esteem soars this week

when you go out of your way to put others’ needs before your own. Act from your heart, Pisces.

VAN WERT — Van Wert County Sheriff Thomas M. Riggenbach announced the recovery of numerous pieces of stolen equipment on Friday. Sheriff Riggenbach stated his Office was contacted by investigators of the Ohio State Highway Patrol advising they believed a stolen piece of equipment was on a prop-erty in Van Wert County. The Van Wert County Sheriff’s Office met with the investigators and began working with the informa-tion the investigators provided.

Sheriff Riggenbach stated a search warrant was obtained by deputies for a residence in Harrison Township. During the search deputies located the piece of stolen equipment, a skid loader. Riggenbach advised deputies then went and obtained a second search warrant to search other pieces of equipment on the property believed to be stolen, as well as equipment on a second neighbor-ing property.

During the searches, two skid loaders, multiple flat bed trailers, and multiple vehicle trailers were determined to be stolen. The property confirmed stolen was from jurisdictions in Northwest Ohio and also Indiana. The stolen property was removed and secured at another location. Deputies also secured a large amount of property, equipment, and multiple vehicles. Sheriff Riggenbach said the amount of stolen equipment is valued near $200,000.

Riggenbach stated deputies are continuing to try and identify if the other property, equipment, and vehicles located on the prop-erty are stolen or who the items belong to. He did not advise how long this would take, but the Sheriff’s Office will be working with other agencies to determine this and get the property returned to the owners.

Riggenbach said no arrests have been made at this time. However, he did say that deputies have a suspect in this matter and the investigation is continuing and charges could be filed in the future. The investigators with the Ohio State Highway Patrol assisted deputies.

— Listen for area sirens. The sirens are activated when radar indicates a tornado is forming or local spotters have actually seen the tornado on the ground. Each village has a siren; the City of Delphos has 4 sirens and the City of Van Wert has five sirens. The sirens are NOT used for an “ALL CLEAR”. If the sirens shut off but are reactivated, it means the tornado threat is still approaching.

— Know where to take shelter. If at home, go to the center of the base-ment. If no basement is available, go to the center of your home in a small room such as a closet or bathroom. Get as many walls between you and the tornado as possible. Cover your head and eyes with pillows or blankets.

If in a mobile home, get out before a tornado strikes and get in a much more sturdy building.

If in a church, get out of the sanctuary as the large open span roof can col-lapse so it is recommend-ed to go to a basement or

the Sunday School rooms or restrooms.

In grocery stores or large retail stores, stay clear of the large open span roof in the center of the store because of possible collapse so go to restrooms, coolers or other designated areas.

If in a car and the tor-nado is still several miles away, drive quickly away from it and eventually make a right-hand turn getting out of its’ path. If the tornado is very close, do not try to outrun it. Get into a deep ditch or in a large culvert under-neath the roadway and cover your head with your hands.

Know your weather terms:

— A WATCH means that atmospheric condi-tions are favorable for severe thunderstorms or tornadoes to develop.

— A WARNING means severe thunderstorms or a tornado is imminent or is already occurring.

— A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM pro-duces winds in excess of 58 mph and hail of 1 inch in diameter or larger.

— A WALL CLOUD is a lowering of a cloud on the southwest rain-free base of a thunderstorm where a funnel or tornado will develop.

— A FUNNEL CLOUD is a funnel-shaped tail which is dipping up and down and spinning rapid-ly, but has not yet touched the ground.

— A TORNADO is a violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground and may roar like a freight train and may cause your ears to experi-ence a popping sound as it passes. Winds may range anywhere from 60 mph to over 300 mph. A majority of Ohio Tornadoes will move from the southwest to the northeast at a for-ward speed of at least 60 mph.

Before severe weath-er season strikes, McCoy says to prepare an emer-gency kit which includes three days of water and non-perishable foods, a flashlight and fresh bat-teries, a first aid kit, extra baby food and care items, a non-electric can open-er and other supplies you deem necessary.

PUTNAM COUNTY — While still short of their monetary goal to train two K9 teams for the county, Putnam County Sheriff Tim Meyer has announced that the program is moving forward.

In March, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office launched a public appeal for funds to acquire and train two K9 units at an estimated cost of $15,000 per team. On Monday, Meyer announced that the K9 fund — now sitting at approximately $14,000 cash in hand, with an equal amount in corporate funding pledged, but as yet unreceived — has sufficient support to warrant moving ahead with the program.

“We’re still having people contact us, they want to be involved,” Meyer said. “Without trying to be funny, this thing has legs. We want to go ahead here in May as a start date for the class (training for both officers and their canine part-ners).”

To that end, Al Gill, the individual selected by the PCSO to train the teams, is presently searching for the depart-ment’s canine partners at select kennels

in Germany.From a pool of as many as 15 dogs,

the PCSO, with guidance from Gill, Allen County Sheriff Sam Crish and local vet-erinarian, Dr. Ron Baldridge, will select their dogs; typically German Shepherds, but that may include Belgian Malinois.

“When they actually get here, we’ll go down and start the selection process,” Meyer said.

In Putnam County, two officers with the PCSO are already selected for train-ing: Greg Westrick, who will patrol during daylight hours, and Troy Stevenson, who will take the night shift.

While the primary motivator for the effort is the ongoing issue with illicit drug use and its accompanying dire, even fatal, consequences, the PCSO’s four-legged officers offer a host of positives. Searching, tracking, intimidation and protection of their partners and other law enforcement personnel in general are all a part of the benefits brought to the PCSO with the inclusion of K9 units.

“We’re more enthusiastic now, as we become more and more educated, about how many more benefits these dogs are going to bring,” Meyer said. “I’m really excited to see these guys get rolling.”

Putnam K9 program moving forward

Vaccine(Continued from page 1)

If incoming seventh-grad-ers are up to date on all of their required vaccines, then they must only receive the Tdap vaccine and the menin-gococcal vaccine.

If students entering 12th grade are up to date, then they must only receive the second dose of the meningococcal vaccine. However, incoming seniors do not need the sec-

ond dose if they received the first dose on or after their 16th birthday.

Students who do not receive the proper vaccina-tions could face exclusion from school but Horstman said the parents should receive a warning before that happens.

Allen County Public Health held a Teen Immunization Clinic today to help students receive their

proper immunizations. If stu-dents were unable to make it to the clinic, Horstman offered other options.

“They can call us or go on our website,” she said. “We have online scheduling for Wednesdays and Thursdays.”

Additionally, parents may check with their provider to see if they offer the vaccines.

If there’s one surefire secret to success for choos-ing a gift for the nurse in your life, it’s this: Think pampering. Nurses spend nearly all of their working life on their feet, bending, lifting, twisting and turn-ing -- and all in service of others. So when it’s time to show some appreciation for all that he or she does every day, a gift of self-nurturing will go a long way. Here are some easy gift solutions that are sure to be appreciated.

* Spa services: Give the gift of relaxation and rejuvenation. A certificate for a massage, facial or even a mani-pedi will no doubt be received with a smile. Feeling especially generous? Consider gift-ing a day of services at a local spa.

* Pampering products: Take a gift basket, head

to your local drug store, grocery chain or special-ty retailer and fill it with an array of soothing and beautifying products. Great ideas include shower gel, bath salts, body lotion, facial moisturizers and a bath sponge.

* The gift of time: Nurses are caregivers whose work lives revolve around the needs of others, so the gift of time can be the most special present of all. If the special nurse in your life needs some time to rest, refresh and revive, think about showering her or him with a day or even a weekend of noth-ingness. Clear the calendar. Turn off the phone. Take over the cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping and errands. Banish all the usual hustle and bustle. Sometimes nothing is the best gift of all.

* Hobby basket: Often nurses need to be remind-ed to take care of themselves and to do the things they enjoy. If your favorite nurse has a forgotten hobby or dormant interest, renew his or her focus with a basket filled with items. For crafters, a set of new supplies might rekindle a lost interest, while for the nurse who loves to get lost in a good book a selection of new magazines or books by a favorite author can spark a renewed interest in reading.

* Homemade coupon book: Treat the nurse in your life to a homemade coupon book filled with offers for a romantic evening out, weekend laundry service, a night off from doing the dishes, a car wash/car cleaning and so on. The possibilities are endless!

* Happy feet: Practical gifts can also be pamper-ing, and for nurses, the most practical gift could be a new pair of super-comfortable, ultra-supportive work shoes or some snazzy new scrubs. If you don’t want to make the purchase yourself, consider a gift certificate to a local retailer or an online specialty clothing or footwear site.

* Nice necessities: If you’re shopping for a recent nursing school graduate, you can’t go wrong with a gift certificate to a medical supply retailer or items such as an easy-to-read watch with a second hand. A roomy, insulated lunch bag and water bottle or a current drug reference guide also makes a great and practical gift.

Great gifts for the nurse in your life

From the American Cancer Society

Colon cancer incidence rates have dropped 30 percent in the U.S. in the last 10 years among adults 50 and older, primarily due to the widespread uptake of colonoscopy, with the largest decrease in people over age 65. Colonoscopy use has almost tripled among adults ages 50 to 75, from 19 percent in 2000 to 55 percent in 2010.

The findings come from Colorectal Cancer Statistics, 2014, published in the March/April issue of CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians. The article and its companion re-port, Colorectal Cancer Facts & Figures, were released in March by American Cancer Society researchers as part of a new initiative by the National Colorectal Cancer Round-table to increase screening rates to 80 percent by 2018.

Colorectal cancer, commonly called colon cancer, is the third most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death in men and women in the United States. Its slow growth from precancerous polyp to invasive cancer provides a rare opportunity to prevent cancer through the detection and removal of precancerous growths. Screening also allows early detection of cancer, when treatment is more successful. As a result, screening reduces colorectal cancer mortality both by decreasing the incidence of dis-ease and by increasing the likelihood of survival.

Using incidence data from the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiol-ogy, and End Results (SEER) program and the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tion’s National Program of Cancer Registries, as provided by the North American As-sociation of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR), researchers led by Rebecca Siegel, MPH found that during the most recent decade of data (2001 to 2010), overall incidence rates decreased by an average of 3.4 percent per year. However, trends vary substantially by age. Rates declined by 3.9 percent per year among adults aged 50 years and older, but increased by 1.1 percent per year among men and women younger than 50. That

increase was confined to tumors in the distal colon and rectum, patterns for which a rise in obesity and emergence of unfavorable dietary patterns has been implicated.

Most strikingly, the rate of decline has surged among those 65 and older, with the decline accelerating from 3.6 percent per year during 2001-2008 to 7.2 percent per year during 2008-2010. The “larger declines among Medicare-eligible seniors likely reflect higher rates of screening because of universal insurance coverage,” the authors write. “In 2010, 55 percent of adults aged 50 to 64 years reported having undergone a recent colorectal cancer screening test, compared with 64 percent of those aged 65 years and older.”

Like incidence, mortality rates have also declined most rapidly within the past decade. From 2001 to 2010, rates decreased by approximately three percent per year in both men and women, compared with declines of approximately two percent per year during the 1990s.

“These continuing drops in incidence and mortality show the lifesaving potential of colon cancer screening; a potential that an estimated 23 million Americans between ages 50 and 75 are not benefiting from because they are not up to date on screening,” said Richard C. Wender, M.D., American Cancer Society chief cancer control officer. “Sustaining this hopeful trend will require concrete efforts to make sure all patients, particularly those who are economically disenfranchised, have access to screening and to the best care available.”
