Cultural exchange students need host families
Dear families,
First of all I have to say thank
you, that you are so friendly for tak-
ing me for four months.
To my person in general. My name is
Maximilian Erbarth, I am 15 years old,
and Im in the 10th grade on the Protestant
Gymnasium Werther, short EGW, and I
also have a 13 year old brother who also
visits the EGW. In our household there is
also a dog named Anton and two cats with
the name of Casimir and Idefix. The cat
Idefix is a Rag Doll, which comes from
America. The other cat Casimir is very
big and his race is British. Anton, the dog,
comes from Hungary and is a sheepdog.
I am very interested in the sports,
but especially: boxing, soccer and
track and field athletics. These are the sports I do my self, but box-
ing only from time to time. I play soccer in a local club. This
club is named BV Werther and is a very good soccer club.
So it is easy to know that sport is also my favorite subject in school. What
I also like a lot is English and History.
In the future I would like to be a Personal trainer, so I would like to go to
Cologne, where I would like to study sports.
In my spare time I like listening to music or game on my Xbox 360 games
like Assassins Creed, Darksiders or Fifa. What I also like doing in my free
time is meeting friends or go jogging.
This is the first time I go to America and it would be so cool if it works.
America is the country, where almost all the movies play. So it is very inter-
resting.
Why I would like to go to America? There are a lot of reason why I would
like to go to America. One is the High School. I do not know how it works:
when the school starts, when does the school ends, how are the lessons,
the subjects, the school teams and of course I would like to see a American
Football game.
All in one, I would like to know more about the every day life of an
American and Id love to know more about the American multidiversity.
Another reason is , that I would like to eat a tipical American food, for exam-
ple American ice cream, corn dogs, hot dogs or real American brownies.
I cant wait to to get to know you
With kind regards
Maximilian Erbarth
Dear host family!
My name is Charlotte Klotz and I am 15
years old. I live in Verl with my parents and my
two older sisters Annika and Mirjam. Mirjam is
a student from my school and Annika studies
history and history of arts.
I think that I have a strong personality
with strengths and weaknesses. I am an inter-
ested, target-oriented and motivated person. My
friends often describe me as a helpful girl who
quickly adapts to new circumstances. I have a
lot of different hobbies which I could practice
in America. I play Volleyball in the local club.
We are a really good team. Therefore we play
in the district league. I dance also in a dancing
chorus. Every year we have a performance in the
theatre. If you are interested in it I could show
to you on a DVD how we perform. Besides I do
Yoga for my relaxation and I have to say that I really love it. Furthermore I
play an instrument: the guitar. All this is very important for me. But my friends
and family are important for me, too. Sometimes I love to spend time with
them, for example, to have a sleepover or drive into the next city. I cannot wait
to do all these funny things together with my host family and new friends in
Delphos. It would be really great to spend time in your family.
As I grow up in a Christian family, religion is a natural part of my life.
Consequently I wont have any problems to accept your Christian attitude and
values.
As a guest I will be able to integrate into your everyday life. Please give me
the opportunity to visit you and to have four funny months together. Perhaps
we will become friends for our whole lives.
I am ready to take off!
Yours,
Charlotte

The Millers stayed near Loch Ness. We saw movement in the water. Was it the Loch
Ness Monster? (Submitted photos)
Miller journey to the
British Isles: part 1
Louise Miller and her
husband, Robert Cookie
Miller of Ottoville, took a
trip to Scotland, Ireland and
Wales in the fall of 1998 with
Bob and Arlene Bendele, their
close friends and neighbors.
The following is an excerpt
from the journal Louise kept
throughout their journey,
accompanied by photos.
We drove to Detroit in
Bob and Arlene Bendeles
van. Bob is driving today and
it is a beautiful day. We are
leaving Detroit International
in a Continental Airline
480. This plane took us to
Newark International Airport
in one hour and 10 minutes.
We then boarded a 757 to
Glasgow, Scotland, crossing
over Boston; Halifax, Nova
Scotia; and then Dublin,
Ireland.
We arrived in Glasgow at
6:25 their time. It was 59
degrees. So tired! We slept
for an hour or so, then walked
to a shopping area. Arlene
was surprised by the chunky
heels. We ate at a pub. I had
a light-colored burger, fries
and a lager. Later, I had a
latte at a Seattle Coffee Shop.
We are eating with the group
from Globus Travels this eve-
ning, at the Thistle Hotel.
The group, 23 altogether,
met in the hotel for a drink
and dinner. We met a couple
from Annapolis, Maryland.
Al and Jackie Herbert joined
us and we took a cab and
went to a pub, where we
laughed heartily over a lager.
They explained to us a ten-
nant is a half-pint or a heavy.
Al is a retired police captain
in Washington D.C.
We had breakfast at 8 a.m.
We are trying to get a grip
on their money. One hundred
pennies equal a pound. Two
50 pence equals a pound.
Twenty tiny silver equals a
pound. Prince Charles 50th-
birthday crown is 10 pounds.
Scotland was a ship-
building and coal-mining
country. There is a lot of
unemployment. Now they are
into electronics and finance.
Scotland is a mere 300- x
600-mile country. We are
going through Dumbarton.
There are stone houses and
stone fences. They have had
the wettest summer ever but
it is getting drier and warm-
er now. The highlands are
cooler.
There are 13 miles of sea
between Scotland and Ireland.
There are five million people
in Scotland; 66,000 people
speak Gaelic.
The rainy weather made
for lots of mud and that mud
made kilts necessary. The bag
they carry is called a spurren
and it contains oats. The tar-
tan plaid that they are famous
for means criss-cross thread
and their hat is a tam.
We did see a wedding party
where the groom wore a kilt.

FAA to close 149 air
traffic towers under cuts
By JASON KEYSER
The Associated Press
CHICAGO Under
orders to trim hundreds of
millions of dollars from its
budget, the Federal Aviation
Administration on Friday
released a final list of 149
air traffic control towers that
it will close at small airports
around the country starting
early next month.
The closures will not
force any of those airports
to shut down, but pilots will
be left to coordinate takeoffs
and landings among them-
selves over a shared radio
frequency with no help from
ground controllers. Those
procedures are familiar to
all pilots.
Since a preliminary list
of facilities was released a
month ago, the FAA plan
has raised wide-ranging
concerns, including worries
about the effect on safety
and the potential financial
consequences for communi-
ties that rely on airports to
help attract businesses and
tourists.
We will work with the
airports and the operators to
ensure the procedures are in
place to maintain the high
level of safety at non-towered
airports, FAA Administrator
Michael Huerta said in a
statement.
Airlines have yet to say
whether they will continue
offering service to airports
that lose tower staff. The
trade group Airlines for
America said its member
carriers have no plans to can-
cel or suspend flights as a
result of the closures.
The FAA is being forced to
trim $637 million for the rest
of the fiscal year that ends
Sept. 30. The agency said it
had no choice but to subject
most of its 47,000 employ-
ees, including tower control-
lers, to periodic furloughs
and to close air traffic facili-
ties at small airports with
lighter traffic. The changes
are part of the across-the-
board spending cuts known
as sequestration, which went
into effect March 1.
The airports targeted for
tower shutdowns have fewer
than 150,000 total flight
operations per year. Of those,
fewer than 10,000 are com-
mercial flights by passenger
airlines.
Airport directors, pilots
and others in the aviation
sector have argued that strip-
ping away an extra layer
of safety during the most
critical stages of flight will
elevate risks and at the very
least slow years of progress
that made the U.S. aviation
network the safest in the
world.
One of the facilities on
the closure list is at Ogden-
Hinckley Airport in Utah,
where air traffic controllers
keep planes safely separated
from the F-16s screaming in
and out of nearby Hill Air
Force Base and flights using
Salt Lake City International
Airport.
Theres going to be
problems, said Ogden air-
port Manager Royal Eccles.
There will be safety con-
cerns and ramification
because of it.
Opponents of the closures
are also warning of possible
disruptions to medical trans-
port flights and flight schools
training the next generation
of pilots.
The 149 air traffic facili-
ties slated to begin closing
on April 7 are out of a total
of 516 control towers in the
FAAs national network.
The targeted towers are all
staffed by contract employ-
ees who are not FAA staffers.
There were 65 other facilities
staffed by FAA employees on
the preliminary list of towers
that could be closed. A final
decision on their closure will
require further review, the
FAA said.
The agency is also still
considering eliminating
overnight shifts at 72 addi-
tional air traffic facilities,
including some at major
airports like Chicagos
Midway International and
General Mitchell Airport in
Milwaukee. There was no
word Friday on when that
decision will come.
The targeted towers are
located in nearly every state.
Hundreds of small air-
ports around the country rou-
tinely operate without con-
trollers. Pilots flying there
are trained to watch for other
aircraft and announce their
position over the radio dur-
ing approaches, landings and
takeoffs.

Ohio man randomly attacked,
beaten at Laundromat
MIDDLETOWN
Police are asking for the
publics help to solve a bru-
tal and unprovoked beating
of a man at a Laundromat
in southwest Ohio.
Police say 57-year-old
David Jones was minding
his own business Sunday
in Middletown when an
attacker came up behind
him without saying a word
and started viciously hit-
ting him in the head with
a stick.
The Cincinnati Enquirer
reports that Jones was able
to grab the suspects glass-
es and part of the weapon
used to beat him before the
attacker fled.
Jones was treated at a
local hospital for head inju-
ries that required 18 staples
and five stitches.
Jones says he had never
seen his attacker before in
his life.
Anyone with infor-
mation is asked to call
Middletown police at 513-
425-7724.
Lawyer in Ohio
boys hanging
wants probe
reopened
BY JULIE CARR SMYTH
COLUMBUS Almost
seven years after a black teen-
ager died in a hanging at an Ohio
church camp, a lawyer for his
family asked Friday for the crimi-
nal investigation to be reopened
after another camper invoked the
Fifth Amendment at a deposition
in the wrongful death suit brought
by the dead boys mother.
In an email to Logan County
Sheriff Andrew J. Smith, attorney
Cliff Arnebeck said the witness
request for protection against
self-incrimination is enough to
raise new questions about the
death of James McCoy III.
McCoy was found hanging
from a tree in a remote area of
Camp Cotubic, a Christian camp
near Bellefontaine where the
youth group from his Columbus-
area church, Church of the
Messiah of Westerville, was on
retreat in April 2006. It was his
18th birthday.
A 2007 lawsuit filed in
Franklin County Common Pleas

STATE/LOCAL
One hundred years ago
during the month of March,
the people of Ohio expe-
rienced a time of terror.
Delphos and the whole tri-
county area were no excep-
tion.
It was the Flood of 1913
Ohios Greatest Weather
Disaster. It lasted four or
five days, March 23 27.
Those who were up to see
the sunrise on Easter morn-
ing, recall that the Eastern
sky was a brilliant red. As
the saying goes; Red in the
morning, sailors warning.
red at night, sailors delight.
This was very true, the rain
started on Easter morning
and didnt know when to
stop.
Until the deluge ended it
had dropped 4 to 11.16 inch-
es of rain on most parts of
Ohio. Bellefontaine claimed
the heaviest downpour with
11.16 inches and 10.61 inch-
es fell at Marion.
Dayton was the hardest
hitsome even referred to
it as the Dayton Flood. Four
rivers converge on Dayton;
the Great Miami River, the
Mad River, the Stillwater
River and Wolf Creek.
Numerous tributaries of the
normally serene and beauti-
ful Stillwater River swelled
that river, which carried
the water off to the south.
Within less than one mile, all
four rivers converged inside
the city limits of Dayton, a
city of 130,000 at that time.
So just what caused this
calamity? Alan Eckert, a
well known Ohio author
described in his book A
Time of Terror that the
development of three great
air mass over the United
States would later settle
over Indiana and Ohio. The
first was an eddy of wind
spawned in the tropical
air of the Gulf of Mexico.
It grew into a still warm
wind which headed north-
ward, crossing Florida and
Georgia, bringing summer
like weather to Atlanta. It
speeded up as it funneled
through the Cumberland Gap
and brought unseasonably
warm temperatures to parts
of Kentucky. It raced across
the Ohio River at Cincinnati
and then sped northward to
Dayton.
Eckert wrote: Another
eddy began in the mouth of
the St. Lawrence River, drift-
ing slowly toward Quebec
as it grew to gale propor-
tions and then hurled itself
southward past Montreal and
Ottawa and Toronto. It was
an icy blast of frigid Canadian
air, when it howled through
Detroit and at Toledo the
temperature plummeted. It
then headed due southward
toward Dayton.
He continued: The third
eddy formed in the north-
ern Great Plains and quickly
became a wind of hurricane
force in central Nebraska,
ripping and tearing a great
swath through the dormant
fields. It struck Omaha on
Easter Sunday and dealt
the city a devastating blow,
leaving thousands home-
less and hundreds injured, a
few dead. (Some weather
reports referred to this as a
tornado.) It passed over Iowa
and Illinois and did a lot of
damage to Indianapolis on
its way toward Dayton.
These three great air
masses collided over a wide
expanse of farmland from
Indianapolis on the west,
Fort Wayne and Lima to the
north, Columbus to the east
and south to Dayton. This
area covered about 2500
square miles of the country.
The storm was helped by
the ground already reach-
ing a saturation point from
melting snow and ice and
several light rains. The colli-
sion of these three air mass-
es brought a rainfall which
deposited nearly nine inches
of water on every foot of
those 2,500 square miles.
That amount of water was
enough to fill a hole in the
ground, measuring 25 miles
in length, a mile in width and
25 feet in depth.
The four rivers, each
traveling approximately 25
miles per hour, met at 7 a.m.
on 25 March 1913 inside the
city limits of Dayton.
During the next few days
the residents of Dayton lived
amid terror and horror.
Whistles sounded at the
National Cash Register
(NCR) Tuesday morning to
warn Dayton residents of
the flood. By evening on 25
March, 14 square miles of
Dayton were under water,
much of it an a swift current
10 15 deep. The Miami
River was 18 feet deep in
Daytons Union Station,
imprisoning 600 people for
three days. Water 16 feet
deep in the Dayton Public
Library caused the loss of
45,000 books. Nearly 1500
horses were estimated to
have drowned in Dayton.
At Dayton, the flood crest
reached 29 feet at 1:00 AM
on March 26. This was eight
feet higher than the flood
of 1866. Downstream in
Hamilton, the Miami crested
just two hours later, at 34.6
feet, 13.5 over the previous
record of 1898. (River levels
are measured above some
local benchmark and cannot
be compared from one city
to another except in relative
height above the previous
record.) Many, Many other
Ohio towns experienced
severe flooding.
Now, back to Delphos
and west central Ohio and
northwestern Ohio.
The rain started on Easter
Sunday and continued with
heavy rains on Monday
morning. The Flat Fork
Creek was on a rampage.
Many residents awoke on
Monday morning to com-
plete shock; upon seeing
their homes surrounded by
water.
The most serious condi-
tion existed along Flat Fork
Creek on South Washing
Street, where a number of
homes were completely sur-
rounded by water and the rap-
idly flowing stream in front
of the residences prevented
many from leaving their
homes. Chief Kehres was
called to South Washington
Street on Monday morning
to rescue the family of Chas.
Fulton. Their residence
was completely surrounded
by water and the floor in
a portion of the house was
covered with several feet of
water. A wagon was secured
and run up to the rear of the
residence and Mr. and Mrs.
Fulton and their son were
assisted from the house in
this manner. Other residenc-
es located on Washington
Street west of the C. H. &
D. Railroad, surrounded by
water are those of Mrs. Mary
Kuntz, Chas. Henney, Chas.
Strayer, Luther Foster, Emiel
Hugo, Mrs. John Ostendorf,
J. C. James, James Wiley
and Chas Griffth. Three resi-
dences on the opposite side
of the street are partially sur-
rounded and the residence
of Elias Bryan south of
Suthoff Street on the east
side of Washington Street
was in a lake of swiftly
flowing water. Letter files,
catalogs, etc., stored in the
basement under the Delphos
Manufacturing Companys
office were damaged when
water backed into the base-
ment.
The people in the south
part of the city west of the
canal had an experience simi-
lar to that of several weeks
ago, when the canal over-
flowed its banks and flooded
that section, but the condition
was much worse on Monday
morning, than on the pre-
vious occasion. The canal
overflowed its banks and
flooded the surrounding terri-
tory. There was one expanse
of water from a short dis-
tance south of Cherry Street
to far beyond the corporate
limits of the city. Residents
employed boats and rub-
ber boots in getting out of
the flooded district. Among
the residences surrounded
by water are those of Jos.
Buessing, John May, Antle
Miller, Henry Kaverman,
Mrs. Henry Kaverman, Jos.
Moorman, James May, Otto
Sheeter, Mrs. Henry Brabant
and Mrs. Hoover. The Soutlh
Delphos school ground was
also under water. For a dis-
tance of several blocks on
South Clay Street the side-
walks and street were cov-
ered with water. This was
just a start of it. All rivers
and streams in the area would
soon be out of their banks.
Ottawa, which is often
flooded when the Blanchard
River goes on a rampage,
sent out two calls for help
on the 25th. They said The
whole town is under water.
The call asked for men,
boats and food. The answer
from Lima was immedi-
ate. The C H & D Railway
Company, through which
the urgent request for suc-
cor was sent, at once noti-
fied Mayor Shook and the
police that it was prepared
to send a special train. The
train left at one oclock in
the morning, carrying 30
volunteers, 1,500 loaves of
bread and 20 baskets of pro-
visions. Traffic to the north
of the city of Ottawa, either
by steam or interurban lines
was cut off.
The flood struck cities on
the east side of the state,
from Akron on down. It hit
the towns in the center, such
as Columbus, and all the
way up the west side of the
state. Cincinnati was hit later
when all the water emptied
into the Ohio River.

Tax the Rich Revenue
Bill May Be Limited
Congressional tax experts
aimed today to hold the tax-
the-rich bill to a total of
about $300,000,000 of new
revenue, despite assertions
that such a program would be
a mere political gesture.
Republicans point out that
much revenue would do little
toward balancing the budget
in view of the tremendous
New Deal expenditures. The
$300,000,000 would be less
than 10 per cent of the deficit
for the fiscal year just closed.

M.H. Westrichs Horse
Victim of Airplane
Accident
An airplane flying low
over the city caused a horse
belonging to M.H. Westrich
to break its leg and neces-
sitated the killing of the ani-
mal.
Mr. Westrich had just
hitched the horse to a wagon
when an airplane, flying close
to the ground, passed over.
The horse became frightened
and ran away, with the result
mentioned above.
Most horses are now auto-
mobile broke, but the task of
getting them accustomed to
airplanes is still to be accom-

Steam Engine Explodes
An explosion in which
one man was seriously
injured, took place on the
Dan Sherrick farm eight
miles southeast of Delphos
Thursday afternoon.
The crown sheet of a trac-
tion engine blew out and the
engineer, Jacob Shenk, was
severely burned from the
chest down. It is thought that
he will recover, but will be
laid up for some time.
The outfit was hull-
ing clover at the Sherrick
farm at the time of the acci-
dent. The clover huller took
fire and was badly dam-
aged. It was brought to the
Mueller Implement and Auto
Companys plant for repairs.
The outfit is owned by
14 farmers and has been
operated by Shenk, who is
a member of the company.
The engine was bought from
other parties who had been
operating it. It is claimed that
a soft metal plug had been
removed and been replaced
by an iron plug and that this
fact was not known by the
present owners and that this
was responsible for the acci-
dent.

Eighteen Towns Without
Power and Light
The people of Delphos
were forced to get along
without electric lights and
power Friday morning. They
were not alone, however, as
the people in 17 other com-
munities in Northwestern
Ohio were also without
power while about forty
manufacturing plants were
forced to suspend operations
because of a double break
at the North Western Ohio
Light plant in Delphos.
At about 12:15 Friday
morning the light plant was
compelled to cut off their
big turbine engines, drawing
fires and suspend operations
because of the splitting of the
valve heads on the two boiler
feed pumps. The breakage
was very likely due to defec-
tive castings. It was a singu-
lar coincidence that both of
the heads should break at the
same time.
Arrangements were made
for the immediate welding
of the broken heads. The
workmen were busy all night
but could not get the plant
in operation in time to sup-
ply current to the factories
which depend upon the com-
pany for power. The Delphos
Manufacturing Company,
Droitcour & Eysenbach, and
a number of the smaller con-
cerns in Delphos are entirely
dependent on the local plant
for power and were com-
pelled to shut down as a
result of the break.

BOB HOLDGREVE
Window
to the
Past
There were several dicey items in the
news this week.
The Steubenville rape trial was rather
disturbing. I followed the case a little and
found the whole thing a wake-up call. We
are teaching our children to be callous
toward their fellow human beings. We are
losing our compassion - our empathy. We
are losing what makes us human; what
separates us from all other mammals.
Others stood by as a young woman was
dragged from party to party and assaulted
and videoed (went viral) and photographed
(shared a lot). Not a single person tried to
stop what was happening. No one stepped
forward and said this is wrong. They used
their smart phones and shared and tweeted
and made the poor girls experience public
and more humiliating and more horrifying.
Theories support the mentality of her
fellow partiers. When there are numbers of
bystanders, no one does anything because
they think someone else will or that it must
not be that bad if no one does. Everyone is
waiting around to see what everyone else is
going to do so no one does anything.
After she was violated and degraded,
then some were upset with her because her
attackers were football players. Its a foot-
ball town and the people were crazy about
their football team. They were heroes. They
were just boys being boys. Aw shucks, they
were just havin a little fun. They didnt
know it was wrong.
And thats what got me the most. They
didnt know it was wrong.
How is that possible?
If youre not familiar with the case do a
little Googling and catch up and come back
and well talk.
If our teens are this disconnected what
is our future? Are they so desensitized they
cant see how horrific and heart-wrenching
this case is? How did such a cruel and
degrading act become something thats
OK. They posted pictures of it like it was
Grumpy Cat or whatever.
I dont know any woman who has heard
this and not shuddered at the thought of
what happened to that girl. None of the girls
who witnessed something at those parties
that night came forward. Now it has been
reported the victim and her family are being
harassed through the same media that help
convict her rapists.
Just saying the word is uncomfortable.
If it hadnt been recorded in some man-
ner, the victim may have never reported it.
Those young men and their peers would
still think its OK. Some still do.
Social media has proven to be a double-
edged sword - it taketh and it giveth. Its a
blessing and a curse.
We obviously need to have our young
people put down their phones and other
gadgets for a second and plug back in to
their families, their role models and their
support systems. We need to have them
look us in the eye and we need to make sure
they get it because right now, they arent
batting an eyelash.
NANCY SPENCER
On the
Other hand
BY KIRK DOUGAL
The sound you may have
heard echoing out of the
Times Bulletin office ear-
lier this week was our head
exploding.
While this open-
ing statement is
hyperbole, of course,
one of our greatest
pet peeves recently
made itself known
again. It is the notion
of either including
everyone in awards
or doing away with
them altogether, just
so someones feel-
ings are not hurt.
David Fabrizio, the princi-
pal at Ipswich High School in
Massachusetts, on Wednesday
announced he was canceling
the schools long-standing
tradition of Honors Night.
The event recognizes the aca-
demic achievements of stu-
dents at the school. In a letter
to parents, he said his reason
for the decision was the real-
ization that not winning an
award might be devastating
to some students.
This follows only a day
after a report that revealed that
elementary school systems in
Kingston, South West London
and Surrey in England have
enacted best friend bans.
The school officials reason-
ing in this case was that chil-
dren should not need to suffer
the pain of splitting up with
their best friend. Also, some
children may not make close
friends and they would feel
left out. So at these schools,
all children were told to play
in large groups only.
Excuse us while we tape
our head back together.
There have always been
winners in life. In fact, life is
based upon winning. Darwins
Theory of Evolution sat upon
a foundation of certain genet-
ic traits being passed down
to offspring by the winners,
those people/animals who
stayed alive.
But even more impor-
tant than winning is losing.
Yes, losing. Look again at
the quote by Wilma Rudolph
at the top of this editorial.
Notice that she put more
emphasis on what came out
of learning from losses than
from winning races.
Another world class ath-
lete thought the same way:
Ive missed more than
9000 shots in my career.
Ive lost almost 300 games.
Twenty-six times, Ive been
trusted to take the game win-
ning shot and missed.
Ive failed over and
over and over again
in my life. And that is
why I succeed.
This person was
cut from his high
school varsity bas-
ketball program as
a sophomore and
instead was sent to
the junior varsity
squad. In his place
was named another sopho-
more, a classmate, by the
name of Leroy Smith. While
Smith went on to play NCAA
Division I basketball and
later have a solid professional
career in Europe, the speaker
of this quote used that sting-
ing rebuke of not making the
varsity to fuel his passion for
decades.
He was so good on the
junior varsity team that the
varsity players used to sneak
out of the locker room before
their game just to watch him
play. He later said that when
he needed extra energy in a
practice or game - even on
through college and the NBA
- he would close his eyes and
imagine Leroy Smith. When
his fame grew and he later
needed to check into hotels
under an assumed name, he
checked in as Leroy Smith.
When he left basketball for
a brief career in baseball,
his farewell speech said that
everyone should have the
opportunity to play - no mat-
ter who, _______ or Leroy
Smith, it doesnt matter.
When Nike later launched a
marketing campaign for this
player, his nemesis on the
court in the commercial was
named Leroy Smith.
This person used the snub
in favor of Leroy Smith
to send himself to athletic
heights that no one else has
ever achieved.
This person was Michael
Jordan.
We fully understand
that not everyone can be a
Rudolph or Jordan. In fact,
that is our point.
Because the vast major-
ity of us will never achieve
the highest of the highs, we
need to learn to deal with
defeat, learn how to suffer
through rejection, and emerge
on the other side with the
focus and the drive to be the
best that we can possibly be
in our lives. That is why it
drives us mad when we hear
about participation trophies
in little league or certificates
for everyone who shows up at
the local science fair.
Last June, David
McCullough made headlines
nationwide when he spoke
at the Wellesley High School
graduation ceremony. He told
the departing seniors, You
are not special. You are not
exceptional. Contrary to what
your U9 soccer trophy sug-
gests, your glowing seventh
grade report card no mat-
ter how often your maternal
caped crusader has swooped
in to save you, youre nothing
special.
McCullough went on to
say that it had become an epi-
demic of thinking in America
that just taking part in an
activity was worth accolades.
He went on to say, I said one
of the best so we can feel bet-
ter about ourselves, so we can
bask in a little easy distinction,
however vague and unveri-
fiable, and count ourselves
among the elite, whoever they
might be, and enjoy a per-
ceived leg up on the perceived
competition. But the phrase
defies logic. By definition
there can be only one best.
Youre it or youre not.
Yes, there have been, and
always will be, winners and
losers in life. And, yes, life
is not fair when some people
seemingly skate through eas-
ily to accolades while oth-
ers work tremendously hard
to just miss an award. But
how much better is it to learn
that lesson as a 12-year-old
little league baseball player
or a 14-year-old trying out
for band than to wait and
learn it as a 25-year-old at a
job. There is a reason why we
have so many young people
who can not handle less than
stellar reviews. It is because
we have taught them growing
up that just participating is
good enough.
We need to stop depriving
our children of these valuable
learning lessons. Sometimes -
no matter how hard it is - we
need to let them lose.
Let Them Lose
Dont turn a blind eye
Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in
life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the
time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again,
you are going to be a champion someday.

You know last year at
this time we were
slathering on the
sunscreen and
running around
in shorts and
tank tops enjoy-
ing the 85 degree
weather. Everyone
was busy putting
seeds in the gar-
den and check-
ing to make sure
the lawn mowers
were ready to go
to work. We were
counting how
many robins could be spot-
ted frolicking in the yard,
and we were watching all
the new signs that spring
bringstrees budding and
grass greening up; new life,
new beginnings. By human
nature, we are an impatient
being, but Ill bet its unani-
mous that everyone is good
and ready to smell newly-
mown grass again.
If youve got someone
who still needs a prom dress,
be sure to stop in. Dresses
are half price and there are
still some very beautiful,
glitzy gowns. Youll prob-
ably find your post-prom
outfit here as well. Theres a
nice dressing room to try on
your selection, too.
With the promise of
Spring coming (eventu-
ally), remember to get your
camping gear here. Theres
everything from
silverware to
rugs to toys for
the kids as well
as swim suits
and straw hats.
Also remember
that when youre
doing your annual
Spring cleaning,
to donate your
nice, gently used
items to the Thrift
Shop instead of
putting them at
the curb. It seems
like all of the departments
are in need of itemsthey
go out just about as fast as
they come in, which is a
great problem to have. The
shop is always busy sorting
and selling, which helps us
help those in need. If the
drop off window is full, you
can knock at the back door,
and well gladly take your
donation there, or you can
call 419-692-2942 to make
arrangements for your drop-
off. The drop off window
is located at the rear of the
building on the First Street
side.
Last minute Easter
itemsget them now.
Theres still a lot of nice gift
items you can pick up here.
I saw some very cute little
bunnies and some great story
books and toys for the kids.
As always, we could use
your large and small shop-
ping bags. I had one nice
lady tell me she was so glad
to see this little suggestion in
the paper because she didnt
know what to do with all her
bags. She promptly dropped
them off in the drop-off
window. We could even use
your newspaper wrappers.
We use them to tie onto sold
items that are too big to sack.
See, theres a use for re-use
of almost everything under
the sun. Dont pitch it
drop it off.
As we go into this holy,
blessed time of the year,
the Thrift Shop would like
to wish everyone a Happy
Easter and to extend our
thanks for your continued
patronage. We would also
like to remind everyone
that we will be closed on
Thursday and Good Friday,
but will have regular busi-
ness hours on Saturday
before Easter.
Since spring is a time of
new beginnings, maybe vol-
unteering at the Thrift Shop
could be your new begin-
ningwed love to have
your help. Call us at 419-
692-2942.
Until the next time, thats
this months report.

Fish Ohio Report
Regulations to Remember:
The daily bag limit for walleye on
Ohio waters of Lake Erie through April
30 is 4 fish per angler with a 15 mini-
mum size limit. The daily bag limit
for yellow perch is 30 fish per angler on
all Ohio waters of Lake Erie. The trout
and salmon daily bag limit is 2 fish per
angler; minimum size limit is 12. The
black bass (largemouth and smallmouth
bass) daily bag limit is 5 fish per angler
with a 14 minimum size limit.
Although cold weather has lim-
ited fishing opportunities on Lake Erie,
when weather has allowed, walleye have
been caught by trolling crankbaits around
Catawba and W of South Bass Island;
use caution when boating in cold water.
The water temperature is 36 degrees
off of Toledo and 35 degrees off of
Cleveland, according to the nearshore
marine forecast. Anglers are encour-
aged to always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-
approved personal flotation device while
boating.
Steelheads: Mainstem rivers and
tribs are open; high flows are receding.
Muddy to stained conditions will con-
tinue for the next few days but clarity
will improve. Fishing conditions will be
best in smaller tribs first, then in main
streams later in the week. Fresh steel-
head are well-distributed throughout the
stream reaches. There have been several
reports of large fish being caught - up to
18 pounds- in the last week. Spin-fishing
anglers were using eggs, jigs tipped with
maggots, or minnows; fly-fishers were
using streamers, egg patterns, including
sucker spawn, and woolly buggers and
other nymphs.
Vermilion River: Fish from the
Vermilion boat ramp up to Birmingham.
Rocky River: Fish from the
Metroparks marina to the dam above the
Cedar Point Rd. pools.
Cuyahoga River: Fish in Cleveland
Harbor and up into the Cuyahoga Valley
Natl Park.
Chagrin River: Fish from the soccer
fields upstream to the North Chagrin
Reservation metropark.
Grand River: Fish from the Fairport
breakwall up to Harpersfield Dam.
Arcola Creek: Fish the river mouth,
estuary and creek in the Metropark.
Ashtabula River: Fish from the river
mouth up through Indian Trails Park.
Conneaut Creek: Fish from the river
mouth up to the state line.
-
MAUMEE RIVER (34 F): The
water level is normal; water clarity is
poor. Bluegrass Island is accessible at
this time. Fishing Effort: low. Walleye
fishing is slow. Most anglers use a float-
ing jig-head fished on an 18- to 24-inch
leader with a 1/4- to 1/2-oz. weight
depending on the water current; anglers
seem to have the best success tipping
the jig-head with a twister tail of white
or chartreuse color. Sporadic catches
have been seen from Orleans Park to
Jerome Road. The walleye run is just
starting with some in the river but they
are not very active at these temperatures.
The bite should pick up as soon as the
water begins to warm. Do NOT keep any
shorter than 15 inches; please take a ruler
with you. Black bass must be immedi-
ately released until June 28th..
SANDUSKY RIVER (35 F): The
water level is near normal; water clarity is
poor. Fishing Effort: medium. Walleye
fishing is slow. Most anglers use a float-
ing jig-head fished on an 18-24 leader
with a 1/4-1/2-oz. weight depending on
the water current; anglers seem to have
the best success tipping the jig-head with
a twister tail of white or chartreuse color.
The best area to try is around the Miles
Newton bridge. The walleye run is just
starting with some in the river but they
are not very active at these temperatures;
the bite should pick up as soon as the
water begins to warm. Do NOT keep any
walleye shorter than 15 inches; please
take a ruler with you. Black bass must
be immediately released until June 28th.

BY JOE KAY
DAYTON Sam Thompson
reached back with his right hand,
snared the slightly off-target pass
and dunked it in one forceful
motion, providing Ohio State with
its grandest slam.
And far from the only one.
Thompson had career highs
with 20 points and 10 rebounds on
Friday night, part of a dominating
performance by Ohio States high-
flying front line, and the Buckeyes
ran away to a 95-70 victory over
Iona in the second round of the
West Regional.
The second-seeded Buckeyes
(27-7) are in prime March form
with nine straight wins, including
their last five games of the regular
season and a run to the Big Ten
tournament title.
We have a lot of confidence,
Thompson said. We know that
if we come out and do the things
were supposed to do on both sides
of the ball, we could beat any team
in the country.
Given a chance to run the floor
against an over matched team, the
Buckeyes left Iona (20-14) looking
up and marveling.
Theyre jumping above any-
one on our team on a lot of the
plays and finishing a lot of dunks
and a lot of things we cant even
get up in the air to get near, Iona
coach Tim Cluess said.
Forward Deshaun Thomas has
led the Buckeyes in scoring dur-
ing their winning streak, averaging
17.6 points per game. He had 24
points as the Buckeyes fast breaks
led to dunks and a season high in
points, thrilling the large Ohio State
contingent.
Even Buckeyes coach Thad
Matta a traditionalist when it
comes to scoring style enjoyed
the dunk show.
Its something kids thoroughly
enjoy doing, probably to a fault,
Matta said. I think guys growing
up would probably rather be able to
dunk than run a clean pick-and-roll.
So weve tried to scale them
down in terms of that. The dunk
shot is obviously a crowd igniter. It
does all those things. But honestly,
I want the two points, and lets run
back and play defense.
Aaron Craft had a season-high
six steals and seven assists for the
Buckeyes. Shannon Scott tied his
career high with 10 assists. Ohio
State plays either Notre Dame or
Iowa State on Sunday, one win
away from a fourth straight trip to
the round of 16.
Iona returned to the court where
it suffered the biggest meltdown
in NCAA tournament history last
year, blowing a 25-point lead. The
Gaels are 1-9 all-time in the tourna-
ment with their only win over
Holy Cross in 1980 later vacat-
ed because of NCAA violations.
Tavon Sledge scored 20 points
for Iona, which had 19 turnovers
that led to 29 of the Buckeyes
points.
Matta had his best moment
yes, singular as a college player
at University of Dayton Arena,
hitting a game-winning shot for
Butler. His visits as Ohio States
coach havent been so pleasant.
The Buckeyes failed to make it out
of Dayton intact in their two previ-
ous NCAA appearances, going 1-2
overall.
The Gaels used their record-
setting 78-72 loss to BYU last year
as motivation to return and give a
better showing. They were back,
but fared no better against a much
better team.
The Gaels got the games first
lead, pulling ahead 4-0 on baskets
by Taaj Ridley and David Laury.
Ohio State led only 7-6 heading
into the first timeout.
Ohio State turned up the inten-
sity behind Craft, who made a
diving save on a loose ball that
started an emphatic fast break.
The Buckeyes swatted away the
Gaels shots and stormed the rim
for dunks during a 15-0 run over
the next 4 minutes.
The Gaels were only 4-of-21
with six turnovers while Ohio State
extended its lead to 27-8 midway
through the opening half. Even
when Iona did something impres-
sive, it backfired. Thomas got one
of his shots blocked right back to
him, then put it up again and got
fouled, resulting in a pair of free
throws.
The Gaels arent used to get-
ting roughed up like that. They
were second in the nation with 80.7
points per game and 15th nation-
ally with 8.4 3-pointers per game.
Ohio State brought their offense to
a standstill.
They finally got their fast-break
offense going and wiped away
most of that 18-point deficit. Sean
Armand hit a 3-pointer he set
a school record for 3s this season
and a pair of free throws during
a 13-3 spurt that cut it to 37-33.
Ohio State ended the comeback
with the games most sensational
play, Thompson reached behind
his body with his right arm to snag
Scotts alley-oop pass for a dunk.
Up 43-33 at halftime, Ohio
State went on a nine-point run
behind Thomas and Thompson for
a 19-point lead that would never be
seriously threatened.
EAST REGIONAL
INDIANA 83, JAMES
MADISON 62
DAYTON Freshman Yogi
Ferrell scored 14 points in the first six
minutes as top-seeded Indiana slam
dunked its way past James Madison.
Not taking any chances with a No.
16 seed, the Hoosiers (28-6) started
fast and built a 33-point lead in the
second half over the Dukes (21-15)
and opened the tourney with a state-
ment they intend to be around for a
while.
Looking every bit like a team
capable of cutting down the nets in
Atlanta next month, Indiana will
play Temple in the second round on
Sunday.
Ferrell finished with 16 points,
eight rebounds and six assists, and
Cody Zeller had four dunks for
Indiana.
Freshman Andre Nation led
James Madison with 24 points.
TEMPLE 76, NORTH
CAROLINA STATE 72
DAYTON Khalif Wyatt
scored 31 points, finishing the game
with an injured left thumb that had
him grimacing before his clinching
free throws, and Temple broke with
its one-and-done NCAA tournament
trend.
The ninth-seeded Owls (24-9)
opened a 17-point lead before Wyatt
the Atlantic 10s player of the year
and top scorer hurt his left thumb
and left the game briefly, returning
with black tape on the non-shooting
hand.
Every shot was an adventure, but
he made enough including six
painful but perfect free throws in the
final 32 seconds to keep Temple
around for more than one game. The
Owls had lost their opener in four of
their last five NCAA trips.
No. 8 NC State (24-11) trailed
most of the game and came up short
of a deep tournament run on the 30th
anniversary of its national title.
Richard Howell had 14 points and
15 rebounds for NC State.
MIAMI 78, PACIFIC 49
AUSTIN, Texas Durand Scott
had 21 points and Miami had a tri-
umphant return to the NCAA tourna-
ment.
The Hurricanes (28-6), who may
be even better than their No. 2 seed
in the East Regional would indicate,
put the game out of reach with a 14-0
run midway through the first half of
their first NCAA tourney game in five
years. Pacific (22-13), the California
team that played its last game for retir-
ing longtime coach Bob Thomason,
was no match for the Atlantic Coast
Conferences regular season and
tournament champions. Miami plays
Illinois on Sunday.
ILLINOIS 57, COLORADO 49
AUSTIN, Texas Brandon Paul
and D.J. Richardson made consecu-
tive 3-pointers to give Illinois back
the lead with 6 minutes left and the
seventh-seeded Illini pulled out a
tough win over Colorado.
Illinois led by 16 at halftime only
to watch Colorado rip off a 21-2
run in the second to grab the lead.
The Illini looked desperate until Paul
and Richardson coolly knocked down
their shots to put Illinois ahead 48-44.
Four free throws by Paul eventu-
ally put the game away for the Illini
(23-12).
Paul led Illinois with 17 points.
Askia Booker scored 14 points for
Colorado (21-12).
MIDWEST REGIONAL
DUKE 73, ALBANY 61
PHILADELPHIA Seth Curry
scored 26 points, Mason Plumlee
had 23 and second-seeded Duke beat
Albany.
The Blue Devils (28-5) will meet
seventh-seeded Creighton in the third
round Sunday.
Duke shot 58.7 percent (27 of 46),
just off its season-beat 60.8 percent
against Florida State.
The Blue Devils, who lost 75-70
to 15th-seeded Lehigh in the second
round last year, never really pulled
away from the Great Danes (24-11),
who got as close as eight points with
4:40 to play.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski
extended his all-time lead with his
80th career victory in the tournament
that he has won four times.
Jacob Iati had 15 points for Albany,
which was making its third NCAA
appearance, all since 2006.
CREIGHTON 67,
CINCINNATI 63
PHILADELPHIA Doug
McDermott had 27 points and 11
rebounds, and Gregory Echenique
scored 13 points to help Creighton
hold on.
Ethan Wragge added 12 for the
Bluejays, who won their NCAA tour-
nament opener for the second straight
year.
McDermott, the two-time Missouri
Valley Conference player of the year
and 2012 All-American, made all 11
free throws to help the seventh-seeded
Bluejays (28-7) move on to play Duke
on Sunday.
Sean Kilpatricks driving layup
after Cincinnati had the arrow on a
jump ball cut it to 64-63 with 17
seconds left.
Austin Chatman sank two free
throws for Creighton. Kilpatricks
attempt at a tying 3 rimmed out, and
the Bearcats were whistled for travel-
ing after grabbing the rebound.
Kilpatrick scored 19 points, and
Cashmere Wright had 15 for the 10th-
seeded Bearcats (22-12) in their cam-
ouflage-patterned shorts.
WEST REGIONAL
MISSISSIPPI 57, WISCONSIN
46
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Marshall
Henderson shook out of a shooting
slump and scored 17 points in the sec-
ond half, giving the Rebels their first
NCAA tournament win since 2002.
For the cold-shooting Badgers (23-
12), the upset loss snaps a string of six
straight first-game victories. Ole Miss
(27-8) trailed 25-22 at halftime and
Henderson, who led the Southeastern
Conference with 20 points a game, had
only two points on 1-for-11 shooting.
But the flamboyant and outspoken
guard found his touch just in time for
Ole Miss, and wound up hitting 6 of
21. His back-to-back 3-pointers tied
it 36-36 and his layup and two free
throws in the final minute sealed the
win.
Reginald Buckner had nine points
and 12 rebounds. Sam Dekkar had 14
points for Wisconsin.
The Rebels will play No. 13 La
Salle on Sunday.
LA SALLE 63, KANSAS
STATE 61
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Jerrell
Wright made three foul shots in the
final 30 seconds, and No. 13 seed
La Salle advanced after blowing an
18-point halftime lead to beat fourth-
seeded Kansas State.
Wright, who scored a game-high
21 points for the Explorers (22-9),
made the first two free throws to give
La Salle a 62-61 lead. Kansas States
Jordan Henriquez missed in the paint
at the other end, and Wright made the
first of two more free throws with 9.6
seconds to go.
The Wildcats (27-8) raced
down court, but point guard Angel
Rodriguez got hung up in the cor-
ner by the Kansas State bench, and
his off-balance shot over the corner
of the backboard missed everything
as the final buzzer sounded and the
Explorers leaped off their bench to
celebrate the upset.
Henriquez and Shane Southwell
scored 17 points each for Kansas
State.
OHIO STATE 95, IONA 70
DAYTON Sam Thompson had
career highs with 20 points and 10
rebounds, part of a dominating per-
formance by Ohio States front line
against Iona.
The second-seeded Buckeyes (27-
7) have won nine straight, including
their last five games of the regular
season and a run to the Big Ten tour-
nament title.
Deshaun Thomas had 24 points as
the Buckeyes fast breaks led to dunks
and a season high in points, thrilling
the large Ohio State contingent in
Dayton.
Aaron Craft had a season-high
six steals and seven assists for the
Buckeyes. Shannon Scott tied his
career high with 10 assists. Ohio State
plays either Notre Dame or Iowa State
on Sunday, one win away from a
fourth straight trip to the round of 16.
Iona (20-14) returned to the court
where it suffered the biggest meltdown
in NCAA tournament history last year,
blowing a 25-point lead against BYU.
Tavon Sledge scored 20 points for
Iona, which had 19 turnovers that led
to 29 of the Buckeyes points.
IOWA STATE 76, NOTRE
DAME 58
DAYTON Freshman Georges
Niang matched a season high with
19 points and Iowa State, showing
it can do much more than just fire
away from outside the 3-point line,
dismantled Notre Dame.
The 10th-seeded Cyclones (23-
11) led the nation in 3-pointers this
season, but the Cyclones were just as
effective from short range in ousting
the Fighting Irish (25-10), who played
their final game as a member of the
Big East and will join the Atlantic
Coast Conference next season.
Melvin Ejim added 17 points for
Iowa State, which shot better than 70
percent for much of the second half.
Tom Knight scored 14 to lead the
Fighting Irish.
SOUTH REGIONAL
FlLORIDA GULF COAST 78,
GEORGETOWN 68
PHILADELPHIA Sherwood
Brown scored 24 points and Bernard
Thompson had 23 to lead Florida
Gulf Coast to an incredible NCAA
tournament debut, a 78-68 win over
second-seeded Georgetown.
The Eagles, in their second sea-
son of being eligible for Division I
postseason, became just the seventh
No. 15 seed to beat a No. 2.
FGCU (25-10) will play the win-
ner of the game between seventh-
seeded San Diego State and No.
10 Oklahoma in the third round on
Sunday.
A night after Americas old-
est university, Harvard, pulled off
a major upset over fourth-seeded
New Mexico, one of its youngest
FGCUs first student was admitted in
1997 got one that was even bigger.
The Eagles took control with a
21-2 run that gave them a 52-33 lead
with 12:28 to play, though the Hoyas
used a furious rally to get within
72-68 with 52 seconds left. It was
another disappointing NCAA exit for
the Hoyas (25-7), who have lost to
a double-digit seed in their last four
appearances.
Markel Starks had 23 points for
the Hoyas.
NORTH CAROLINA 78,
VILLANOVA 71
KANSAS CITY, Mo. P.J.
Hairston scored 23 points, James
Michael McAdoo added 17 and
North Carolina unleashed a flurry of
3-pointers to subdue gritty Villanova.
The never-say-die Wildcats (20-
14) erased a 20-point deficit that
North Carolina built in the first half
and then nearly climbed out of a
nine-point hole in the final minutes
after the Tar Heels hit three consecu-
tive 3s and once again appeared to
take control.
The victory set up a possible
dream match up in the third round
for Kansas fans, who have been jam-
ming the Sprint Center in down-
town Kansas City, about 30 min-
utes from the Jayhawks campus.
The eighth-seeded Tar Heels (25-10)
take on the winner between Western
Kentucky and No. 1 seed Kansas,
where Williams coached for 15 years
and rang up more than 400 wins.
JayVaughn Pinkston had 20 points
and Darrun Hilliard scored 18 for
Villanova.
FLORI DA 79,
NOTHWESTERN STATE 47
AUSTIN, Texas Erik Murphy
had 18 points to lead four Florida
players in double figures and the
Gators shut down the NCAAs high-
est-scoring team.
No. 3 seed Florida turned this
one into a rout with a 19-1 run in
the second half and held the 14th-
seeded Demons (23-9) to their fewest
points this season 34 below their
average. Patric Young had 16 points
and nine rebounds for Florida (27-7).
Kenny Boynton and Scottie Wilbekin
both scored 11. DeQuan Hicks had
12 points for the Demons, who upset
Iowa as the No. 14 seed in their last
NCAA tournament seven years ago.
They couldnt repeat that feat against
the Gators, who lost in the regional
finals each of the past two seasons.
Florida plays Minnesota or UCLA
on Sunday.
SAN DIEGO STATE 70,
OKLAHOMA 55
PHILADELPHIA Jamaal
Franklin scored 21 points, James
Rahon had 17 and San Diego State
earned its third NCAA tournament
victory.
The Aztecs (23-10) did nothing
spectacular, but everything well and
used a modest 8-0 run late in the
second half to snap a tie game and
take control. Romero Osby scored 22
points for the 10th-seeded Sooners
(20-12).
The Aztecs are in the tournament
for the fourth straight season but they
had only won games in 2011 when
they reached the round of 16.
KANSAS 64, WESTERN
KENTUCKY 57
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Jeff
Withey scored 17 points and top-
seeded Kansas struggled to put away
scrappy Western Kentucky in a 64-57
victory Friday night that avoided
what would have been the biggest
upset on a day full of them in the
NCAA tournament.
The Jayhawks (30-5), flum-
moxed by the Hilltoppers full-court
pressure, trailed 31-30 at halftime.
Kansas eventually built an 11-point
lead in the second half, but couldnt
put Western Kentucky away until
Ben McLemores two foul shots with
11 seconds left in the game.
McLemore and Travis Releford
scored 11 each for the Jayhawks (30-
5), who wearily advanced to play No.
8 seed North Carolina and former
coach Roy Williams in the South
Regional on Sunday.
Jamal Crook scored 13 points and
T.J. Price had 12 for the Hilltoppers
(20-16), who would have made his-
tory by becoming the first No. 16
seed to upend a No. 1 seed in the
tournament.
MINNESOTA 83, UCLA 63
AUSTIN, Texas Andre Hollins
scored 28 points and Minnesota
rolled past punchless UCLA in what
could be Bruins freshman Shabazz
Muhammads last in college and
coach Ben Howlands final one lead-
ing the program.
Austin Hollins scored 16 for the
11th-seeded Gophers (21-12). The
Gophers eased some pressure on
coach Tubby Smith by giving him
his first NCAA tournament win in
six seasons.
Another early-round exit by the
sixth-seeded Bruins (25-10) wont
help Howland, who is facing pub-
lic speculation back home about his
future despite winning the Pac-12
regular-season title this year.
Muhammad, expected to leave
for the NBA, led the Bruins with 20
points.

Maumee and Sandusky
River Spawning Runs: Walleye
Fishing Forecast for 2013
Walleye are present all year
long in these rivers in relative-
ly low numbers; however, the
number dramatically increases
during annual spawning runs up
these tributaries from Lake Erie.
A variety of factors trigger the
run, including, water temperature,
river flow and photoperiod (hours
of daylight). Spawning occurs
anytime from mid-March through
mid-April but frequently the peak
activity occurs the last week of
March through the second week
of April. Walleye spawn when
water temperatures range from
42-52 F. High river flows will
also increase the number of wall-
eye in the river, especially if river
temperatures are warmer than
Lake Erie temperatures.
Predictions for 2013: This
should be an excellent year to
harvest walleye from these spots.
In the Maumee River, walleye
from the strong 2003 year class
will continue to dominate harvest
again with contributions from
the 2007, 2008 and 2009 classes,
with some 2010 fish showing
up. These will range from 19-28
inches, with most of the male
walleye being around 21 inches
and the female in the mid-20-
inch range; some large walleye
from the 1996, 1999, 2001
and 2003 classes in the 22- to
30-inch range will be caught this
spring. Walleye over 30 inches
may date back to good year class-
es from 1993-94 or even from
the late 1980s; fish caught in past
years have been as old as 26.
The best area to fish is from the
Conant Street Bridge upstream to
the end of Jerome Road in Lucas
County. In the Sandusky River,
the 2007 and 2009 class will be
the dominant contributors to the
run with fish from 2001, 2003,
2006 and 2008 contributing to the
harvest; the larger fish here will
come from the 1998, 1997 and
1994 classes. The best area to fish
is from Bradys Island to Rodger
Young Park.
How to: Most anglers fish the
rivers by wading or from shore.
Car-top boats are sometimes used
in both rivers. Trailered boats are
used in the lower portions of both
rivers; ramps are available on the
Sandusky just north of the State
Street Bridge in Fremont and on
the Maumee at the foot of Maple
Street and at Orleans Park in
Perrysburg. Caution is strongly
recommended in both rivers as
they are often high in the early
spring and quite treacherous. The
best baits for walleye are float-
ing jigs tipped with white, yel-
low or fluorescent-colored twister
tails; lures are available at bait
stands set up along the Maumee.
Reminders: Anglers are reminded
that there is a 15-inch minimum
size limit the entire season for
walleye on Lake Erie, the bays
and the tributaries up to the first
dam; thru April 30, anglers may
take a daily limit of 4 (singly
or in combination) of walleye,
saugeye and sauger. For fish-
ing report information, check the
DOW web page at www.wildo-
hio.com or call: 800-WILDLIFE,
8 0 0 - B U C K E Y E ,
888-HOOKFISH or Wildlife
District Two at 419-424-5000.
For local information: Maumee
River - call the Perrysburg
Chamber of Commerce (419-874-
9147); for the Sandusky River,
call the Sandusky County Visitors
Bureau (419-332-4470).
Special regulations for black
bass (includes smallmouths) are
in place for Lake Erie and its
tributaries, including the rivers,
up to their first dam: season is
closed to possession through June
28 - any caught must be released
immediately unharmed; and they
are protected by a 14-inch mini-
mum length limit at all times.
On the rivers, there is also a regu-
lation limiting hook size through
May 1st; it shall be unlawful for
any person to use a line having
attached more than one single
hook (no treble hooks) or a
lure having more than a single
hook larger than 1/2-inch
from shank to point. The area
on the Maumee with this restric-
tion is from the Grand Rapids
Providence Dam to a line in
Maumee Bay from Little Cedar
Point to Turtle Island; for the
Sandusky, from where the Toledo
Edison Power line (Old Ballville
and Fifth Street Line) crosses the
river at the southwest corner of
Rodger Young Park in the City
of Fremont to a line in Sandusky
Bay running 1/4-mile east of,
and parallel to, the full length of
the Conrail Railroad Bridge in
the Bay (from N 41 degrees 29
35.4, W 082 degrees 49 18.0
to N 41 degrees 28 02.4, W 082
degrees 47 58.2.
Sections of the rivers are
closed to night-time fishing
through May 1; it is illegal to
engage in fishing between sun-
set and the following sunrise.
The Maumee is closed from the
Ohio turnpike bridge to the Old
Waterville interurban bridge at
the end of Forst Road, in Wood
County, and from SR 578 Bridge
to the Grand Rapids Providence
Dam. The Sandusky is closed
from where the Toledo Edison
power line (Old Ballville and
Fifth Street line) crosses the
Sandusky River at the southeast
corner of Rodger Young Park (in
the City of Fremont) to the north-
ern tip of Bradys Island. One
section of the Sandusky is closed
to all fishing during the walleye
spawning run; from the Ballville
Dam to the Toledo Edison power
line (Old Ballville and Fifth
Street line) located at the south-
east corner of Rodger Young Park
(in the City of Fremont) is closed
through May 1.

(Continued from Page 1)
Dear Host Family,
The American Way of
Life, the swing state Ohio,
the windy city of Chicago, the
home country of Facebook,
Apple, Google and Random
House I have heard a lot
about America. Now, I want
to make my own experience
and no longer just listen to the
old stories of my parents, who
s t u d i e d
in Illinois
more than
20 years
ago.
M y
name is
Marie and
I am four-
teen years
of age. My
family and
I live in a
small house
with a nice
garden in a quiet neighbor-
hood of Verl, the partnership
town of Delphos.
I have a younger brother
named Felix with whom I get
along well. My father Harald
works in the books logistics
industry, so maybe thats why
I like reading so much. My
mother Andrea takes care of
us all and supports us wher-
ever she can.
We try to spend as much
time as possible together and
we all have similar interests.
We all like swimming, hik-
ing and travelling to foreign
countries.
Swimming is one of my
favorite hobbies. As a mem-
ber of DLRG Verl (German
Life Saving Federation), I
learned to swim faster than
my dad and how to rescue
people.
Furthermore, I play the
clarinet in the youth orches-
tra of Verl. Over the year we
play at several local parties
and the music genres we play
include the latest pop songs as
well as modern classic com-
positions.
For half a year I have taken
part in a trainee program of
our church. We have been
trained to guide youth groups
and to get along with differ-
ent types of people. During
the program, we have learned
to solve conflicts within a
group, attended a first aid
course and prepared a Sunday
service in our church.
Since the beginning of
the winter term, I have had
the chance to study history
at the University of Bielefeld
in a special program for high
school kids. History is one of
my favorite subjects besides
foreign languages such as
English and French.
As far as concerning my
personality, everyone says
that I am a reliable, trustwor-
thy as well as polite person.
I like to meet new people
from all different sorts of
countries.
I would like to experi-
ence the everyday life of an
American family and be able
to improve my English skills.
I would be honored if I get a
chance to meet you.
Yours,
Marie Horstman
Dear Host Family,
My name is Desiree
Dridger. I am 14 years old and
I live in a small town called
Hvelhof, Germany. Hvelhof
is near to Verl which is the
sister town
of Delphos.
I live
in a nice
house with
my moth-
er, Anna,
my father,
Viktor, my
older sister
Kat har i na
and our cat
Boba. My
older broth-
er Michael
moved out last year. Even
though he does not live far
from our house I miss him a
lot because we are all very
close.
I am a student of
Gymnasium Verl and I am
in the 9th grade. My favorite
subjects are English, German
and Art.
Sometimes I watch movies
in English and with every
new word I learn, I understand
more and more. I also like
to be creative. I enjoy paint-
ing pictures and I like to do
handicrafts. These preferences
help me a lot to do well at
school.
My friends and family
describe me as an open-mind-
ed, helpful and funny person.
They say I am easy going and
I always try to do the best of
every situation. They also say
that I am a reliable person
and they can always count
on me.
In my free time I spend
much time with my cousins
children. My cousin Elena, 28,
has one child called Lara. She
is 10 month old. I love her like
a little sister and she makes
me happy every time I see
her. Elenas sister Irina, 30,
has two children. Christian is
22 months and his little sister
Corinna is 6 months old.
I also go dancing with my
friends in my free time. We do
standard dance. It is a lot of
fun and I am looking forward
to it every week. I like meet-
ing my friends in my free time.
Our common hobbies are tak-
ing photos. We often look for
great locations and have a lot
of fun taking pictures of each
other. Sometimes we go shop-
ping in the city center or we
go to the movies. Sometimes
we make movie nights and
sleepovers and it is always a
good time!
I have a very big family
with lots of aunts, uncles and
cousins. Three of my cousins
had lived in America before,
two of them as Au Pairs and
one also as an exchange stu-
dent. They have told me a lot
about their experiences and
I have been fascinated about
living in the USA myself ever
Dear exchange family,
Regrettably I do not know
anything about you yet but
I can tell you a lot about me
and my life, so you will get a
greater chance to get to know
me.
My name is Joana Brintrup,
I will be 15 on 23rd January
and I go to Gymnasium Verl.
My parents, my little sister,
our dog and me live in Verl.
Although I really love my
family, I am eager to do this
exchange.
I really like to do the
exchange to Delphos, because
it is my biggest dream to tem-
porally live in America instead
of just hearing about it.
I cannot find the right
words to say how much I want
to stay with you - an American
family! It
is some-
thing like
wi s hi ng
for rain
w h i l s t
s t a n d -
ing in the
desert.
I am a
very small, thin girl with blue
eyes and long light brown
hair. My original hair colour
is blonde, but I like it better
with brown.
I am an energetic person
and I go to the gym regu-
larly. A lot of my time I spent
on the ice rink. Sometimes
my friends and me go there,
inline-skate or we go swim-
ming together. Now and
then we go to the cinema,
eat ice-cream or are having
a picnic. I really love girls
evenings! Talking to my best
friends is always nice and
hearing about their new sto-
ries is so funny.
I like excursions, too.
Wherever we go, it is always
great fun! Camping is very
exciting. The wildlife is so
amazing! I often take photos
of animals or the nature. I
especially love taking pho-
tos with my family and my
friends! In my opinion you
have to hold on to special
moments. Therefore photog-
raphy is one of my hobbies.
Another one is diving,
because there are so many
amazing things I have never
seen before, but unfortunately
diving is only possible when
I am on vacation with my
family.
After school I would like
to study medicine to become a
psychologist and I want to be
married with about two chil-
dren. Sometimes I babysit the
children of our neighbors and
friends, because I really love
children! Maybe its because
I have a three years old sister
and a five years old cousin I
like to play with. In addition,
I am going to absolve my
student internship in the kin-
dergarden in January.
I am very sociable and not
afraid of meeting new people.
In school I heard that
American Football is one of
Marie
Horstman
Joana Brintru
Desiree
Dridger
the most common sports over
in the USA. Is that the case
where you live, too? If so, I
would love to go to a match
and watch it life, since we do
not have that sport in the area
where I live, so I have never
been to one before and I only
know it from television.
I also heard a lot of Thanks
Giving, but I do not know
much about it.
I heard you are Catholics.
I am a Catholic, too, but I
wonder if the way you are
living your religion differs a
lot to ours. I would love to
get to know more about it and
involve myself if I may and if
I get the chance to.
The school system is some-
thing interesting, too. Going
to High School sounds won-
derful and cool.
My biggest wish is to
improve my English and to
speak it fluently, because I
love the English language.
Obviously it is never as real-
istic as one can learn it in the
country where it is spoken. I
noticed that when I went to
England with my godmother
and my cousin Dylan. We
stayed with her mother in law
and I noticed how motivat-
ing it is to communicate with
people whose mother tongue
is English. Finally, I hope
to make some intercultural
friendships which hopefully
will last for a very long time
and from which both sides can
benefit.
I am a reliable and honest
person.
Yours faithfully,
Joana Brintru
Dear Host Family,
My name is Nicole
and I am fifteen years old.
Unfortunately I do not know
anything about your family
yet, so I will tell you a little
bit about
myself and
my life in
Germany.
T h e
m o s t
i mpor t ant
thing in
my live is
my family.
My fam-
ily mem-
bers are
my mom
El i sabet h,
my dad Meinolf and my little
brother Manuel. Our house
here in Verl is 100 years old
but our apartment is very
modern. We have a big gar-
den that is next to the busiest
street in Verl, so its very loud
and difficult to relax there.
At the moment I am in
the 9th grade of our local
high school which is called
Gymnasium Verl. My
favorite subjects are History,
French and English, which is
probably one of the reasons
why I want to go to America.
My biggest wish for
the future is having the
chance to travel the world
and America would be a good
start.
In Germany we listen a lot
to American music and watch
American films so I know
a lot more about the USA
then about other countries but
there still is a lot more to learn
about it, because the US has
such an interesting lifestyle
and culture!
My hobbies are tennis,
dancing (I dance since I was
little), playing the keyboard
and parkour which is a sport
where we try to get over dif-
ferent obstacles.
In my pastime I meet
friends, draw and read fan-
tasy books. My favorite books
are Harry Potter and City
of Bones I always try to
find new interesting books but
most of the time one of my
friends tells me about a good
book she has read and so I
then read it myself. When I
meet my friends, we talk for
hours about different things
and sometimes we watch
films together. Its a lot more
fun to watch films together
because after that we have a
new theme to talk about. My
favorite film is Pirates of
the Caribbean and because
of that my favorite actor is
Johnny Depp.
One thing I really love
is listening to music. I like
Bruno Mars, Nickelback and
Olly Murs a lot but I mostly
listen to the current charts. I
often try to play these songs
on my keyboard but it is really
difficult without the notes.
I would be pleased to meet
your family and visit America
because until today, I have
only seen it on TV.
Many greetings,
Nicole Aschhoff
since.
My whole family supports
me in every way because they
know that it is important to
me and it is enrichment for my
life. Nevertheless I do a lot to
make it happen. I started shar-
ing out newspapers to make a
little contribution to the finan-
cial part.
I am excited about getting
to know American football. I
am interested about seeing a
game myself.
I hope that staying with
your family also makes me
a part of you. I want to see
how you live and get to know
the differences and similari-
ties between both countries
and families. Spending a lot
of time with you will make
me happy. This exchange is
a really big opportunity and
chance for me in my life and
it will probably be a great
adventure with lots of new
experiences!
I am looking forward to
hear from you.
Nice greetings,
Desiree Dridger
Dear host families,
Unfortunately I dont
know anything about you, so
Im just going to tell you
something about me.
M y
name is
Adela, I
am fif-
teen years
old and
I live in
Hvelhof.
Hvel hof
is a small
town next
to Verl,
so I have
to take
the bus to
school. I
am 1.68 meters tall, I have
blue eyes and brown hair.
My friends say Im
very friendly and humorous.
Furthermore, I am a fam-
ily person and Im always
honest. My mum says that
I am ambitious, reliable
and self-confident. You can
have a lot of fun with me
but you can also talk to me
about problems. Of course
Im not perfect. Sometimes
I am very direct, I always
say what I think. But thats
not bad.
My hobbies are photo-
graphing, playing tennis and
volleyball and go swimming.
In my free-time I like to meet
friends, go to the cinema or
shopping. I love animals and
I often play with my dog,
a brown Labrador-Lady
named Thea. In addition I
like family outings and read-
ing books.
In between times I listen
to music. My favorite movies,
books and series are Harry
Potter, Twilight, Inkheart,
Titanic, Avatar, Desperate
Housewives and the Vampire
Diaries.
I dont have a favorite
food. Im not picky.
Bullying, dispute and
injustice are things I dont
like. I hate insects and bore-
dom.
I have a little brother who
is 9 years old.
With our family we live
in a nice house. I even have
a great-grandmother who is
really funny. I am Catholic
and I was baptized.
Last year was my broth-
ers first communion and next
year is my confirmation. My
family is very important to
me.
Now Im in class 9 and I
am class representative. My
favorite subjects are English,
history and sports.
From 1980-87, my grand-
parents owned a house in
Punta Gorda, near Fort Myers
in Florida and so they have
been there many times for
holiday. They always tell me
that it is very beautiful in the
USA. That sparked my inter-
est for this country. America
is my favorite country and its
my biggest desire to be there.
I am very curious what it will
be like to attend an American
school. The possibility to
learn more about your cul-
ture, religion and life sounds
great. Of course I want to live
like an American teenager.
This means that I want to see
a football game and much
more. The chance to improve
my English means a lot to me.
I hope I was able to give you
a first impression of myself.
I would be very happy if you
choose me.
Best regards,
Adela Bredenbals

Dear Host Family,
In this letter I try to give you
an impression of my personal-
ity and to introduce myself, my
family, the things I usually do
and the place where I live.
My name is Carlos Enrique
Speit and I am a 14 years old
boy from Germany. I live in
Verl. My family and I live in a
nice semi-detached house with
a little garden. My fathes name
is Matthias Speit. He is 46 years
old and works as a radio and
television technician. My moth-
er Birgit Speit is 44 years old
and works at a local newspaper
as an industrial sales representa-
tive. I have got a little sister.
Her name is Alicia and she is 12
years old and very funny. She
goes to the Gymnasium in Verl
as well.
My family is very important
for me and we spend a lot of
time together. Twice a year we
go on vacation. In summer we
go somewhere at the sea and in
winter we go skiing in Austria.
I am visiting the 9th grade
at the Gymnasium in Verl. My
school is about 20 minutes
away from my house so I go
to school by bike. My school is
very big, there are around 1,000
students. Mostly I like school
because I can see my friends.
My favorite subjects are Maths,
English and
Sports.
In my
leisure time
I like to
play soc-
cer. I play
in a local
club (FC
Kauni t z) .
I also like
r e a d i n g
books and
go skiing. My friends and I
often meet for playing soccer
or go in the cinema. Sometimes
we only listen to music.
My family and my friends
used to say that I am reliable,
polite, adaptable and open for
new experiences.
In Europe you always hear
about the American Way of
Life and you also hear about
the school spirit there and I
want to experience all that and
want to be a part of it. But
there is so much more I could
discover and learn about the
country. I also want to get to
know the culture and the tradi-
tions of the USA.
In an exchange I could col-
lect so many important experi-
ences for my future life and
which help to let my personal-
ity grow further. What I also
expect is having the chance to
improve my English. I would
like to meet new people and
make friends and I would like
to find a second family.
I am finishing my letter now.
Yours sincerely
Carlos

Dear Host Family,
My Name is Maja
Sophie Wiesel, Im fifteen
years old and I live in Verl,
Northern Westphalia, thats
a little town in the middle
of Germany, two hours away
from Berlin, with my family.
Unfortunately I dont know
anything about you yet, so
I just would like to tell you
something about me and my
life.
We enjoy living in this
area because my parents have
got very
interesting
jobs and
my brother
and I have
many good
friends and
our grand-
p a r e n t s
live near-
by. My
friends and
my family
are the most
i mpor t ant
people in my life, because
I can talk about everything
with them and I hope that
Im a good friend for them
as well.
I like reading books and
writing short stories or poems
in my free time. So I am very
happy that I got an intern-
ship at the local newspaper
in January 2013 and I hope
that it will be exciting. Once
a week I go walking and since
a few weeks I join a course
for kickboxing. I also love
to take pictures of nature and
my friends. In summer I like
to go swimming and on some
weekends I babysit the kids
from our neighbors. And of
course I enjoy being together
with my friends and having
fun with them!
My family and I travel a
lot during the holidays - I was
in eight different countries
so far and its amazing how
different the cultures of the
countries are. I was already
in the USA this year, we
visited Florida in the Easter-
holidays. It was my first time
in the States and it was such
an amazing experience to
see how the people live there
and how big just one state
of the USA is. I think that
this time in Ohio will be a
complete new experience for
me, because the school sys-
tem is very different from the
German school system and
it must be very interesting to
attend an American school
and experience the daily life
of the American people. Id
like to improve my English
and learn to speak fluently!
I think that the exchange
will have a big influence for
my life and my personality.
I like to try new things,
find out about the American
way of life, the people who
live in Delphos and the lan-
guage. And of course I hope
that Delphos will become a
second home to me!
I really hope that I will
become a part of your family,
but I think thats no problem,
because Im open-minded
and Im laughing very much!
If you are interested I could
cook some typical German
meals for you.
This exchange program
will be a challenge for me,
because for the first time I
will be apart from my family
for four months, but the expe-
riences and new friends will
make this exchange unforget-
table.
I hope we will have a lot of
fun together and see us soon
Kind regards
Maja Sophie Wiesel
Dear host family,
My name is Maximilian
Mller. I am 14 years old and
I live with my parents and my
two older brothers in Verl, a lit-
tle city in the west of Germany.
The names of my brothers are
Lukas and Johannes. Lukas
is 16 years old and in year
ten at Gymnasium Verl, the
same school I am at, but I am
in class nine. The other one
is 19 years
old and
makes an
apprentice-
ship as an
audio visu-
al media
designer.
M y
f r i e n d s
w o u l d
describe me
as a funny,
honest and
flexible person. For eight years
I play soccer and tennis in a
club.
Furthermore, this year we
celebrated my confirmation
and I do voluntary work in our
church community whereby I
get my youth director translu-
cent. At the moment I work
with young kids and people
with disabilities. I enjoy it,
because it is an important
experience for me. When I
am grown up I want to be an
engineer as my father is.
I would like to go to
America, because I am very
interested in other cultures
and especially the USA has
an interesting and exciting
culture, so I would like to
leave Europe for this amazing
adventure. I could improve my
English and learn about the
differences between the life in
my partner city Delphos and
life in my hometown Verl!
When I am old I want to
have seen a lot of the world,
one reason why I love travel-
ling and discovering new coun-
tries. Moreover, I would like to
get to know the American
way of life that I have already
heard so much about.
As English is my favourite
subject at school, I am sure
that spending four months at a
American school will be valu-
able experience. Moreover, my
brother Lukas was in America,
close to Portland, four weeks
ago. When he returned he said
that this was the best time of
his life. He loved the American
people and the American life.
So I dont want to let this
opportunity pass, I want to
take this chance, that prob-
ably never comes again.
Maybe I can bring a piece of
Germany to the United States
of America, too.
I thank you for your will-
ingness to include me in your
family and am really looking
forward to meeting you.
Yours sincerely,
Maximilian Moeller

Dear host family,
Im very interested in
America and I would like to
spend some time in Delphos
to get to know the American
Way of live.
I am
very inter-
ested in
f o r e i g n
languages,
especially
in English
and I
would be
very happy
to have
the oppor-
tunity to
i mp r o v e
my English
skills and to broaden my
vocabulary.
But at first I would like to
tell you who I am and where I
come from
My name is Miriam
Admmer, I am 14 years old
and I live in Verl, a little town
in Germany.
I go to school at Gymnasium
Verl and I am in the 9th grade.
My favorite subjects are
English and History.
After school I do some
extracurricular activities like
Big Band and French club.
One of the reasons why I
would like to visit America
is, that I like speaking English
and I expect to improve my
English skills.
My grandfather, Friedrich
Admmer, once established
the town twinning between
Verl and Delphos, so I have
been growing up with the idea
to visit Delphos one day.
I am the youngest of a five-
headed family.
My brothers, Stephan and
Lucas, are 22 and 17 years
old. Stephan is a student of
political sciences at Leibniz
University in Hanover. Lucas
will finish school next sum-
mer.
My father and my mother
both work at a bank.
I like to cook together
with my friends or my broth-
er Stephan. Our favorites
are noodles, pizza and meat
dishes. I also love to bake
and to try new recipes, one of
my favorite cakes this autumn
was Pumpkin Pie. Together
with my friends I spend a lot
of time in the kitchen trying
new recipes and talking mean-
while.
Since I was seven years
old, I learn to play the clarinet.
Last week me and two of my
friends had a performance, we
played Suite a Tre by Karel
Schrijver, as you can see from
the picture which appeared in
the newspaper I added.
I really like to live in Verl
and therefore it suits me that
the exchange takes place in
Delphos.
I would like to get to
Miriam
Admmer
Dear host family,
In this letter I want to tell
you something about me,
my family, the place where
I live and
the things,
which I
like to do.
W i t h
my par-
ents, I live
in a house
with a big
g a r d e n ,
b e c a u s e
we share
it with my
grandparents and my uncles
family. This is very great,
because my family live direct-
ly next to me and I can come
to them every time!
My father works as a sales
manager and my mother
works as an employee at a
wholesale electrical supply
company. I love my parents,
because they are always there
and behind me.
My family is not so big,
but the most live in my sur-
rounding and I can see them
very often. With my grand-
parents, we spend every year
some time in the mountains;
you could already say it is a
tradition.
The town we live in is
called Bielefeld, a town
near Hannover, with a popu-
lation of 323,395.
My school is in Werther.
It has about 700 pupils and
is therefore a small school,
but it is nice and quite mod-
Exchange
(Continued from Page 9)
ern (two years ago the school
was expanded). I am a stu-
dent in 9th year. At school my
favorite subjects are sport and
sometimes math, not so happy
I am with geography.
My day starts at 6.45 am
with a small breakfast. After
school I make my homework.
Afterwards I like to do sport,
because I can switch off,
forget about problems and
stress.
I train every week in a
local gymnastic club and take
part in competitions with my
team. It is lots of fun! But
I also like other sports, like
football or swimming. In sum-
mer I enjoy the local outdoor
pool next to our house with
some friends. In winter I pre-
fer to go for skiing in the Alps.
I have many nice friends
and three, which I really know
for a long time (I think for
9 years). I always laugh and
have fun with them. We go
shopping, watch films or just
hang out.
It is not easy to describe
yourself, so I asked them:
They described me as a per-
son, who is considerate and
funny but reasonable too.
They see me at the beginning
a bit shy but quickly get open
minded.
I also love reading books,
at the moment I mainly read
sci-fi and love books, but it
changes often. My favorite
books are the pretty little liars
books, the series is also really
great and exiting.
Me, my parents and some
friends, spend already some
weeks in America. But I think
as an exchange student it is
a completely different thing,
because I could learn much
more things about your cul-
ture and your country. So it
would be fantastic, if you
could give me that chance.
I also would like to visit a
school in America, because
it is so different from ours in
Germany. It would be great to
try out many extra activities
after school.
At least a stay in Delphos
would expand my horizon and
would consolidate my self-
confidence.

Dear Host Family
I m writing this letter to
introduce myself and because
I hope that Im the right per-
son for you to live with for
four months.
I live in Werther, a small
city with a population of
12,000 inhabitants in the
northwest of Germany.
With my parents, my older
brother Lucas and my younger
brother Daniel I am living in a
red brick house with a big gar-
den where I can play soccer or
other things with my brothers.
Dear host family,
My name is Madeleine
Mller and I am 15 years old.
My hair is brown and my eyes
are brown too.
I have been a student at the
Evangelisches Gymnasium
Werther (EGW) since 2008.
Im in the 9 grade and my
favorite subjects are English,
French and Art.
I live in the city of Werther
with my parents and my older
brother. My father, Ralf, is
Dear guest family!
I would like to tell you
something about myself, my
family and my friends.
I was born in Egypt in the
year 1998 where I lived for
know the football traditions
in America. Actually I do not
have any experience so far
concerning the rules, but after
all I have heard, it sounds
really amazing. The height of
the season seems to be the last
football game in it, at least
some friends told me. I would
really enjoy being there as a
spectator.
One other thing which is
very important to me are for-
eign customs and traditions.
I would be very glad if I had
the opportunity to witness
Thanksgiving in America,
because it is a very important
holiday in America, but for us
in Germany it is not that popu-
lar or common.
In writing this application
I really feel my passion for
living in America, especially
in Delphos, for the reasons I
mentioned. I hope that I was
able to express my feelings
in the right way to convince
you that I am ready for an
exchange and that I am the
suitable candidate for your
family.
I look forward to getting to
know you and your family and
I would be glad to become part
of it for a while.
Kind regards,
Miriam Admmer
My mum is from Langeoog,
a small German island in the
North Sea, where my grand-
parents still are living. My dad
has always lived in Werther.
My brother Daniel and I
both attend Evangelisches
Gymnasium Werther but my
older brother decided to go to
the Max Planck Gymnasium
in Bielefeld, the next bigger
city.
We have an open house
and if you ever plan a visit in
Germany,
you will
be very
welcome.
A t
school Im
a good stu-
dent and I
very often
help other
st udent s.
My favou-
rite sub-
jects are Maths, German and
Music, I do not like French
and Art.
There are lots of things I
love doing in my free time,
but the one thing Im doing
most of the time is playing
my tuba. In 2004 I began to
play the baritone (its like a
euphonium), and in 2009 I
changed to the tuba. Im play-
ing in several orchestras in the
surrounding area now.
My favourite music groups
are jazz, classic and brass
music. I also have been play-
ing the piano for two years
now. It would be great, if I
could find a marching band or
something else, where I can
play my instrument and learn
new things about music.
When I dont make music
or do my homework I like
constructing things with Lego
technic, Fischertechnik or
Revell (cars, planes and so
on).
Apart from that Im a reli-
gious person. I go to church
with my family nearly every
Sunday. Of course I also like
to meet my friends, when I
have time to do that. Every
Friday Im doing athletics in
the sports club of Werther and
I like to ride my bike.
I hope youve got a good
impression of my person.
Yours sincerely,
Jacob Thomas
self-employed and has a com-
pany for road constructions.
My mother, Astrid, is an
office worker. My brothers
name is Patrick and he is six
years older than me.
My hobbies are dancing,
reading books, baking cakes
and taking
photos.
In my
free time
I meet my
f r i e n d s ,
b e c a u s e
they are
v e r y
important
to me. We
often talk,
laugh, go
shopping,
go out for dinner or watch a
film.
Im a very friendly person,
who laugh a lot and who like
the company of others. I am
also open for new things and
challenges. I am a family per-
son because I like being with
my family and I like to have
kids around me.
I love music thats why I
love singing but unfortunately
I cant do it well. I mostly
like rock and pop music; nev-
ertheless I am open for new
types of music.
I like to work with chil-
dren, because its very funny
and I like to see a smile on
their faces. Thats why I will
do my social internship with
kids next year.
Another important part in
my life is sport. I take part in a
dancing club. I do jazz dance
with my best friend Nele and
many other friends.
In the future I will be a
fashion journalist or a psy-
chologist, because on the
one hand I like fashion and
writing texts a lot and on
the other hand I like helping
people.
I would like to take part in
this exchange, because I want
to gain new experiences and I
want to learn something about
the American culture and the
way of life.
I heard that the people in
Delphos are the friendliest in
the USA; so I would like to
meet you.
I also would like to improve
my English skills and I think
I develop my personality and
become more self-responsi-
ble, but mostly I would like to
meet new people.
Thanks for reading.
Yours sincerely,
Madeleine Mll
eight years. But at the age of
eight I had to move with my
mother Ulrike and my broth-
er Jonas to Germany where
my father has been living for
a longer time. We moved to
Dsseldorf. I went to primary
school there and found friends
very quickly. Many of them
went to the same high school
as I did. But when I was 12
years old our family had to
move again. This time to
Werther a very small but cute
town, because my father was
offered the job of the head of
the thoracic surgery depart-
ment in the town hospital of
Bielefeld, a big city nearby.
Here I am visiting the EGW
(Evangelisches Gymnasium
Werther)
My father grew up in Egypt
just as my brother and me.
I am half Egyptian and half
German. My mother was born
in Germany in Wuppertal and
her family is living there till
today. My mothers family is
not that big compared with my
fathers but I love both.
But now I want to tell you
something about myself. My
f r i e n d s
d e s c r i b e
me as a
h a p p y ,
h e l p f u l ,
out goi ng
and cre-
ative girl.
But I per-
s o n a l l y
think that
Im also a
bit shy. I
really like to do sports in my
free time. I am doing ath-
letics, and I also participate
in competitions. I also love
swimming but I prefer doing
it in the summertime because
otherwise it is really cold.
I danced ballet when I was
younger.I love music, listen-
ing to it and playing musical
instruments. I am playing the
guitar and I can also play the
piano.
I am very creative. I
like to sew my own clothes
or decoration for our home
but I also love working with
beads and creating my own
jewelries.
The reasons why I would
like to stay four months in
Delphos are that I want to
improve my English skills and
my pronunciation. I could also
get to know the American cul-
ture and different people. I
am also very excited to spend
the time in the USA because
my brother, who went there
this year, told me a lot about
his time there and how great
and funny it was living four
months in a different country.
So now you know all the
important people and things
in my life.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have rheumatoid
arthritis and take anti-TNF drugs. Id like to
understand how they work.
DEAR READER: Rheumatoid arthritis
(RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease in
which the bodys immune system mistak-
enly attacks healthy tissue in the joints. Our
immune systems are not supposed to attack
our own tissues; theyre supposed to attack
foreign things that enter our body, particularly
germs. In autoimmune diseases, however,
something goes haywire.
When the immune system attacks any-
thing -- a foreign germ or the bodys own tis-
sue -- it acts like an army. There are immune
system cells that are like the generals: They
direct the troops. They do so by sending
chemical signals that tell other cells to attack
or to stop attacking.
One of these chemical signals is a mole-
cule called tumor necrosis factor, or TNF. Its
one of the attack signals. TNF binds to nor-
mal joint tissues and increases inflammation.
Anti-TNF drugs bind to the receptor sites on
the joint tissue cells, blocking the TNF from
causing destructive inflammation. (Theres an
illustration of how anti-TNF drugs work on
my website, AskDoctorK.com.)
In rheumatoid arthritis, the inflamma-
tion begins in the synovium, a thin mem-
brane that lines the joints. There, something
(we dont yet know what) triggers an
inflammatory reaction. As a result, joint cells
produce harmful substances that attack the
joints themselves. Synovial cells also pro-
liferate, forming a rough, grainy tissue that
grows into the joint cavity and eats away at
cartilage.
These changes cause a number of uncom-
fortable symptoms:
-- Constant or recurring pain or tenderness
in joints
-- Stiffness and difficulty using or moving
joints normally
-- Swelling in and around joints
-- Warmth and redness in joints
-- Weight loss
-- Low-grade fever
-- Fatigue
-- Prolonged morning stiffness
The goals in treating RA are to prevent or
control joint damage, prevent loss of function
and reduce pain. Joint damage begins early
in the course of the disease. To prevent per-
manent damage, the disease is often treated
aggressively from the start.
Anti-TNF agents are among a newer
generation of drugs. They can dramatically
improve the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis
and slow the progressive damage to the joints
that often occurs.
Five anti-TNF agents are now available:
-- adalimumab (Humira)
-- certolizumab (Cimzia)
-- etanercept (Enbrel)
-- infliximab (Remicade)
-- golimumab (Simponi)
Anti-TNF drugs are potent and expen-
sive, and they can have serious side effects.
But they appear to do what other drugs have
failed to do: stop the rate of joint deteriora-
tion. In fact, in a number of people with RA,
these drugs have induced something close to
remission.
For this reason, the discovery of anti-
TNF drugs has been honored with some
of medicines biggest prizes. They are just
another example of how government invest-
ment in basic medical research, followed by
drug development by the private sector, can
improve peoples lives.

Anti-TNF drugs bring relief
from rheumatoid arthritis
Dr. Anthony L. Komaroff, M.D.
Ask
Doctor K
I was at a doctors office
in a small town recently and
overheard one patient in
the waiting room talking to
another.
There are four tattoo par-
lors on Main Street and not
one dress shop. Is it me, or
has the world run off the
track?
No, theres still a dress
shop on Main Street, his
friend said. Its in the back
of one of the tattoo parlors.
There was a time when
people would buy clothes to
cover up their tattoos. Now
they buy clothes to show
them off. The thong peek-
ing above the low-rise jeans
worn by a woman on a bar-
stool doesnt begin to cover
her butterfly tattoo. The guy
in the sleeveless T-shirt sit-
ting next to her has a green
snake coiled around his arm.
There was a time when
you could live your whole
life, except for an outing to
the circus, and never meet a
woman with a tattoo. Now
all it takes is a trip to the
grocery store. Like so many
things, tattoos have moved
overnight from the realm
of renegades, delinquents
and outlaws to the world of
PTAs, debutantes and church
picnics. I know husbands and
wives who have given each
other tats as birthday pres-
ents: Honey, I love you so
much Im paying to have a
guy stick needles into you all
afternoon. I hope it doesnt
get infected.
Im not against tattoos.
Im just wondering why they
have suddenly taken over the
world. Has You cant trust
anyone without tats become
the new You cant trust any-
one over 30? Maybe, but
Ive seen plenty of older peo-
ple show up with brand-new
body art. Now its something
you do to feel younger.
When your child comes
home during his first break as
a college freshman, you can
almost bet the farm that he
or she will be sporting new
body art. If youre lucky, the
new tattoo wont be the first
thing you see when your kid
walks through the door.
A tattoo used to mean
you were in a motorcycle
gang. Now it means you can
afford to go to college. Heck,
kids might be majoring in it.
Surely todays tattoo artists
make more money than the
history, philosophy, fine arts
and English majors.
The good news is that
high-paying jobs in the tat-
too industry cant be out-
sourced to China. Tattooing
has to be done right here
at home by highly trained
and board-certified artists.
No, wait, Im sorry; I was
misinformed. Tattoos can be
done by almost anyone. Not
that theres any danger in it.
Whats the worst that can
happen? You might have to
walk around with a tattoo of
Mom misspelled on your
bicep for a few months until
you can get it expensively
lasered off.
Its hard to watch a bas-
ketball or football game with-
out asking yourself, when did
all this happen? Instead of
watching the ball, I am look-
ing at the arms of the players,
inked from wrist to shoulder,
and trying to figure out what
the pictures are. Some tat-
toos seem to have inspira-
tional words mixed in among
the symbols and figures, but
things move so fast you cant
read them. Obviously, this is
high art with deep meaning,
something the tattooed have
thought long and hard about,
unlike say, whether or not to
have children with their cur-
rent crush. Some things are
permanent; some are not.
Heres the thing that
really bothers me about tat-
toos. Now that the elders
have them, what will teens
have to do to freak out their
parents? Coming home
with your name tattooed in
Gothic typeface around your
neck isnt likely to raise the
hackles of someone who has
done the same thing. Maybe
theyll rebel by getting crew
cuts and wearing Perry Como
sweaters and taking dates to
the hop. Their parents will
wring their hands, wondering
what they did wrong.

Dear Annie: Ive
been married for 36
years. The frst 20 were
loving, but the past 16
have deteriorated to the
point of despair.
My husband, John,
is now 68. Though once
athletic and active, John
is now frail and weak.
He complains of chronic
headaches and a host of
other physical ailments,
and worst of all, he suf-
fers from major bouts of
severe depression. Hes
suicidal, and chances
are good that hell take
his life if I leave him.
John is taking medi-
cation for his depres-
sion. Ive stuck by him
because hes a decent
man and I care for him,
but I know things wont
get better. If this is what
the rest of my
life looks like,
Im afraid for
my own fu-
ture.
W h a t s
also upsetting
is that Johns
entire life re-
volves around
me. Ive en-
couraged him
to establish
personal in-
terests and
hobbies, but he wont.
Hes a chore to be with
negative and diffcult
to converse with. And
no matter what direction
I take with him when we
discuss his problems,
he ends up crying a
victim, like his mother
and sister. We seldom
go out with friends.
Traveling is out of the
question. I go alone
when I can, but hes
hard to leave beyond a
week or two.
Five years ago, I saw
a therapist who advised
me to leave John. I want-
ed to and still do, but I
dont know whether I
can handle the guilt of
turning my back on him.
We cannot afford to put
him in a long-term care
facility, but he needs se-
rious help. Our sons live
out of state with their
own families. They offer
emotional support, but
arent in any position to
care for him.
I stay busy with
friends, activities and a
part-time job. It helps
some, but I see my
own happiness slipping
away. I am trapped in a
life with a man I no lon-
ger love but feel obligat-
ed to care for because
hes sick. What should I
do? N.N.
Dear N.N.: Depres-
sion is an illness, not a
choice. Please talk to
Johns doctor about dif-
ferent medication. His
current treatment isnt
doing the job. Then
contact the National Al-
liance on Mental Illness
helpline (nami.org) at
1-800-950-NAMI and
the Depression and Bi-
polar Support Alliance
(dbsalliance.org), and
ask what help is avail-
able for you, including
respite care. You des-
perately need a break.
Dear Annie: I am 30
years old and decided
to go back
to college. I
have made
good grades.
The problem
is two suppos-
edly grown
women in one
of my classes.
It started when
one of them
broke up with
my cousin.
She blames
me.
These women talk
about me behind my
back, scream in my
face, threaten me and
throw things at me. I
have tried to be the big-
ger person and ignore
them or walk away, but
it hasnt stopped. I also
went to the dean and
the teacher and got no
results.
I am getting tired
of the harassment, and
I still have six more
months in this class.
What can I do? Fum-
ing in College
Dear Fuming: If
these women are threat-
ening you, the school
should take action. Go
back to the dean and say
you will have to notify
the police if the univer-
sity wont deal with the
situation. Then do it.
Dear Annie: This
is in response to Con-
cerned, who objected
to his granddaughter
having a photograph of
her late grandmother at
her wedding.
In the past few years,
I have attended some
weddings of people
whose beloved fam-
ily members had passed
away. One niece had a
display of both sets of
parents and all of her
grandparents, includ-
ing those who had died.
Another niece put fow-
ers on her fathers grave
the day she got married.
I attended a garden wed-
ding where there were
three chairs in the front
row with ribbons on the
back and a rose on the
seat for the deceased
parents of the groom and
the deceased mother of
the bride. I thought all
of these were wonderful
tributes. L. in Florida

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
SUNDAY, MARCH 24, 2013
A number of social alliances
could offer you some surprising
advantages in the year ahead.
However, affiliations that are formed
for solely commercial purposes
could easily turn out to be liabilities.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- Unless you tackle each of your
responsibilities as it occurs, they
could begin to pile up on you. If you
slack off, youll lose control.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Be your own person, even if your
position is totally different from that
of your peers. Dont allow anyone to
pressure you into doing something
that you dont like.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Try not to be too assertive in
situations that call for tact. Once you
start rocking the boat, you could get
close to capsizing it.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
Little of value will be accomplished
if you start making changes every
time you run into a trivial obstacle.
To perform productively, you must
be consistent.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont
take on so many financial obligations
that you would be reduced to
robbing Peter to pay Paul. Deliberate
and skillful management of your
resources will be required.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Theres a possibility that you
might start to experience unusual
amounts of stress in your personal
relationships. Stop taking everything
so seriously. Relax!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You
are likely to get an opportunity to be
of assistance to someone who has
been extremely helpful to you in the
past. Dont wait to be asked -- jump
as soon as you see your opening.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Dissension could easily result if you
pay too much attention to one friend
while ignoring all your other pals.
Unless you treat everyone equally,
youll be ostracized.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- When in a competitive situation,
take care not to underestimate your
adversaries. Dont minimize your
own skills, by any means, but be
aware of everyone elses.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Guard against inclinations to
challenge the statements of another
just because his or her beliefs differ
from yours. Both of you could be
wrong; both parties could be right.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Someone who is indebted to you
might request even further financial
assistance. The smartest thing to do
is to not throw good money after bad.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- An individual with whom youre
closely associated might make a
decision that affects you as well. If
this persons actions do not serve your
interests, take action immediately.
MONDAY, MARCH 25, 2013
A lucrative channel might
develop in the year ahead, which
could open up a second source of
earnings for you. This new avenue,
albeit a sideline, could potentially
equal your primary income.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Because youre likely to be
more motivated to win than your
competition, you will be the one
coming out ahead. Dont let up.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Try to take a recreational break, even
though the week is just beginning. Its
a healthy way of keeping unwanted
tension from building up.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- You might not be able to get
everything that you want done, but
trying to do so should enable you
to finalize at least two important
matters to your satisfaction.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
Not only are you extremely curious
about everything, youll also be
a quick study. Because there isnt
much that will escape your attention,
it equips you to impart what you
learn.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
Although financial matters could
be tricky, youll still be able to
handle things quite well, mostly
because youll be a dab hand at
improvisation.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- It behooves you to keep yourself
as busy as possible, because a
heavy workload will boost your
productivity. Slow down only when
life does.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Keep a low profile today if you find
yourself involved in a commercial
situation that has lots of competition.
Itll help you from tipping your hand
on your tactics or methods.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Youll be more comfortable
participating in activities with friends
who dont take life too seriously than
you would be with pals who dont
know how to relax.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Enormous personal satisfaction
will be gained from developments
in which you have to use your
mental abilities to circumvent tough
challenges.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Usually it isnt advisable to
offer unsolicited advice, even to a
close friend. Today, however, if you
have some constructive thoughts,
express yourself.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- One of your greatest attributes
is the ability to solve seemingly
impossible problems. Youll be able
to see what everyone else misses.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
You might have to make a decision
between several alternatives that
appear to be of equal value. However,
if you study each, youll discover
that one is slightly better.

questions:
The unusual thing
about the U.S. flag
displayed in Lompoc,
Calif., on the first Flag
Day after the 2001 ter-
rorist attack was that
is was made out of
more than 400,000 red,
white and blue larkspur
plants, each with four or
five flower stems. The
740-by390-foot propor-
tionally accurate flag
covered 6.65 acres. Its
stars were 24 feet in
diameter.
Himalayan snow-
cocks go to nest more
than 15,000 feet above

lakes. They have Rowen trees and
the birds get drunk on the ber-
ries. I believe we call these trees
Mountain Ash. We crossed the
Speen Bridge and then had lunch.
We shopped some in Ballater,
Scotland, and ate at Braemars
downstairs. Cookie had lamb.
We passed Hollyroods House,
which is the Queens residence for
working. No tourists are allowed
inside when she is in residence.
We are staying in Edinboro.
The big department store, Jenners,
is on the corner. Edinboro is the
capital of Scotland, and is built
on volcanic rock. We can see
Edinboro Castle (high on a hill)
from our hotel room. There is a
park between us and the castle.
We strolled into the park in the
afternoon, watching an old gentle-
man feeding the pigeons. Dont
you know, we left our umbrella
on a bench. Actually, the umbrella
belonged to our daughter, Lynne.
It was the kind you can fold up.
Pitts was the name of the
prime minister who started the
income tax and thats where we
get the saying thats the Pitts.
Losing your umbrella was the
Pitts.
We joined a tour into the cas-
tle. It is huge! There is a chapel
inside called St. Margarets. It
only holds 18 people. Our local
tour guide was married there in
1976. One room in the castle
holds a very, very long table, sup-
posedly for the Queens important
dinners. The walkways between
the buildings are all cobblestones.
Good for horse, but not the easi-
est walking for humans. The
buildings look old, solidly built
and certainly elegantly furnished.
The cannon on the grounds is
shot at 1 oclock every day but
Sunday.
We ate in a converted bank
nearby. It reminded me of the for-
mer bank on Limas Square, with
a very high ceiling, lots of marble
and so elegant.
Some famous Scottish people
are Beatrix Potter, who died in
1943. They say she was a very
stern lady who owned 4,000 acres.
There was Alexander Graham
Bell and Robert Louis Stevenson,
who wrote Treasure Island. And
of course, there is Henry VIII,
the often married king, and his
daughter, Bloody Mary.
The story goes that Mary had
migraines. Orange Jelly seemed
to help ease the pain, hence
Marmalade (Mary laid) came
into the language. She also was
the source of Mary, Mary, quite
contrary, how does your garden
grow.
Our tour guide is Julie from
London, England. She has a
charming accent. Julie works as
an actress in childrens theatre
during the winter months and says
most nursery rhymes have their
origin in England. She described a
car accident as a nahsty crunch.
The hood of a car is the bonnet
and the rear is the boot.
We stopped to eat in
Graesmere. I had cream of cau-
liflower soup. It was super soup!
See next Saturdays paper for

A Scottish man played bagpipes on the edge of Loch Lomond. The bag they carry is
called a spurren, and it contains oats, Louise said. The tartan plaid they are famous for
means criss-cross thread and their hat is a tam.

Queen volunteered for
Olympics Bond spoof
LONDON (AP)
Queen Elizabeth II needed
no convincing to appear in
a James Bond-themed skit
during the opening ceremo-
ny of the London Olympics
in fact, she volunteered,
according to the shows
director.
Director Danny Boyle
says he had initially
thought a lookalike pos-
sibly actress Helen Mirren
would play the role of
Elizabeth alongside Bond
actor Daniel Craig.
He tells ITVs Jonathan
Ross in an interview to air
Saturday night that when
he sought permission from
officials to film the skit he
heard back that not only
was the video a go, but the
monarch herself wanted to
be in it.
Boyle says that when
filming began, the queen
asked him if he thought she
should have a line, to which
he replied O.K., what do
you suggest?
She said Ill do some-
thing and we started shoot-
ing and she turned round
and she said her lines beau-
tifully, he said, according
to excerpts of the interview
released in advance.
The queens star turn
in the skit was considered
one of the highlights of the
opening ceremony last year.
In the skit, a tuxedo-clad
007 strides into Buckingham
Palace to escort his VIP
guest to the Olympic cer-
emony. In her acting debut,
Elizabeth swivels around in
her desk chair to face the
legendary spy and declares:
Good evening, Mr. Bond.
Two of queens corgi
dogs also appeared in the
clip.
