2014 Relay for Life Kick Off set Tuesday

BY NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Relay for Life is the American Cancer Societys signature event. It offers everyone in the community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. On Tuesday, the 12th Delphos Relay for Life will kick off from 6-8 p.m. with a gathering in the Delphos Eagles Community Room. Teams who register before Tuesday and hold a fundraiser that night will earn Relay Bucks. This years theme is Tune in for Cure with teams using television shows as inspiration for decorating campsites, theme laps and fundraisers. Last years 22 teams raised $96,717.49. Delphos 11-year total is $1,039,490. The 2014 goals is $90,134 gross. Delphos American Cancer Society staff partner is Jamie Orzco of Van Wert. Orozco said she Relays for a very personal reason. I have lost both of my grandmothers to cancer as well as many other family and friends, she said. I have watched them struggle, suffer and fight and lose. I want an end to his horrible disease that takes too many lives. We have all been affected in some way and enough is enough. We need to end this fight. Orozco will lead the Delphos group to understand the why behind the work done at Relays for the American Cancer Society. By helping your event see the big picture and by sharing the best practices from around the state, we can maximize the growth, potential and quality of your Relay for Life, she said. I am thankful for the chance to make a difference with so many others. This years Relay will be held June 20 and 21 at the community track at Jefferson High School. Team meetings are set for 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 11, March 11, April 8, May 13 and June 10 at the Delphos Eagles.

FCCLA collecting tabs, cans to fight hunger

Jefferson FCCLA will sponsor a competition/drive amongst grades 6-8 the week of Jan. 13-17 to collect pop tabs and cans. The tabs and cans will then be cashed in to donate the money to a national non-profit No Kids Hungry- Share Our Strength. The campaign seeks to end childhood hunger in America by ensuring all children get the healthy food they need every day. It connects kids in need with nutritious food and teaches their families how to cook healthy, affordable meals. The campaign also engages the public to make ending childhood hunger a national priority. FCCLA is also asking for the communitys help by donating any tabs or cans they may have by sending them with a Jefferson Middle School student or dropping donations off to the school office. Members will ask local businesses to also collect for one week and donate their cans and tabs. Pictured above are FCCLA members Lexy Carpenter, Sara Zalar and Maggie Kimmett, who are organizing the local campaign. For more information, contact Bev Tuttle at btuttle@delphoscityschools.org or leave a message at 419-692-6466. (Submitted photo)

Building demolition changing downtown landscape

Cintas Corp. is moving forward rapidly with the demolition of the former Van Dyne Crotty building at the corner of Fifth and Main streets. The only portion of the building remaining is the truck bay area. In 2006, Cintas Corporation of Cincinnati purchased Van Dyne Crotty, which maintained a local facility. Not long after the acquisition, the Delphos location was closed. The property will remain in the possession of Cintas, who has said the area will be seeded once the building demolition is complete.

20 million currently infected with HPV in US

they are infected. HPV is a group of more than 100 viruses that infect the skin in males and females. Some types of genital HPV cause genital warts and others are linked to abnormal cell changes on the cervix detected through Pap tests that can lead to cervical (uterine cervix) cancer. The National Cancer Institute estimates 12,340 new cases and 4,030 deaths from cervical cancer in the US in 2013. The most current data available from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that in 2010, there were 11,818 women in the US diagnosed with cervical cancer and 3,939 women who died from the disease. It is estimated that one out of every 145 women in the US will be diagnosed with cervical cancer in their lifetime. The Womens Preventative Healthcare Projects Case Manager Jan Huckeriede said early detection and maintaining annual exams is the best defense. She said one of the big misconceptions is ladies think a Pap test is the same thing as a pelvic exam, so when they hear that the CDC and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommend a Pap test every three years instead of every year, they think they dont need a yearly pelvic exam. She said women who have had a hysterectomy due to cervical cancer need a Pap test each year. A pelvic exam checks all organs, making sure everything is the right size and shape with no enlargements, Huckeriede detailed. The exam includes a clinical breast exam where the doctor checks for lumps, nodes and tenderness. Huckeriede stresses the importance of keeping the same physician since continuity of care is very important. The Womans Preventative Healthcare Project provides clinical mammograms, ultrasounds, biopsies, annual physicals and Pap tests for women who are 40-64 years of age with no insurance and who fall within 200 percent of the poverty level. At this time, we can not accept

DELPHOS January is Cervical Health Awareness Month and it is an opportunity to encourage women to schedule their annual well-woman visits. Well-woman visits focus on a womans overall health and wellness and includes a full checkup, documentation of health history and habits and setting health goals. It is also an opportunity to attend to preventive care which includes immunizations, screenings, counseling, and other services. The National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC) reports that there are approximately 6 million new cases of sexually-transmitted Human papillomavirus (HPV) occurring in the U.S. each year, with at least 20 million people currently infected. Approximately 70 percent of women and men will come into contact with the virus during their lifetime and most do not know that
new ladies into the program unless there is an abnormality, Huckeriede said. Even if ladies dont fit the criteria, they can call us and we will direct them to a facility that can help them. In addition, it is a opportune time for parents to talk with their pre-teens about getting the HPV vaccine. Van Wert County Heath Departments Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Nurse Linda Bissonette said prevention is key and health professionals highly promote HPV vaccinations for females age 9-26 and boys through the age of 21. She said most insurances cover preventative vaccinations and anyone wishing to receive a vaccination should call their insurance company to check on coverage before making an appointment at the clinic. Our focus is on 11-12-year-old boys and girls who are at the best age to build antibodies against the disease and less likely to have had a sexual encounter, Bissonette explained. See HPV, page 10

Second chances One New Years resolution will save Ohioans

BY KAITLYN THOMPSON Lifeline of Ohio community Outreach Coordinator January represents a fresh start and inspires us to make new resolutions to try a new activity, enjoy life more or support a new cause or charity. We wish to become better people: more giving, compassionate and understanding. We look forward to the new year full of possibility and hope. According to Forbes Magazine, while 40 percent of us make New Years resolutions, only eight percent accomplish our goals. What about making a resolution this year thats simple and easy to keep, and saves and heals lives? Consider registering to Donate Life! Many dont realize only one percent of the population will be able to donate organs at the time of their death. Today, there are more than 121,000 Americans and 3,500 Ohioans waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant. The only opportunity these men, women and children will have to follow their own dreams for 2014 is to receive a transplant from a generous organ donor. Ring in January by saying yes to organ, eye and donation today at your local BMV agency or by visiting www. lifelineofohio.org. Once you register, share your decision to donate with your family so they can help support your wishes. Thank you for being a hero of donation!

Be good to yourself. That should be a New Years resolution of everyone. Most of us have a certain amount of work we have to do but its more fun to spend time doing the things we want to do, the things that are good for the spirit. Weve been snowbound for several days now and some of you have cleaned out those dresser drawers or kitchen cabinets, and then sat down to watch TV. There are some good shows on television, especially on PBS. Many of us have become great followers of Downton Abbey on Sunday nights. If you really want to relax and get a bunch of laughs, watch Duck Dynasty. I plan to use this winter for a threemonth sabbatical when I can hibernate in sweat suits and nice warm slippers. I have so many hobbies or fun things that I like to do. I would take up quilting if I had time. Some might say I could manage my time better and thats probably true. I am trying to organize all my papers of genealogy and local history. Then there are those hundreds of pictures to put in photo albums scrapbooks. Im really looking forward to these three months before we have to start such things as cleaning up the dried up ferns on the asparagus patch. The quickest way to rev up my endorphins is to sit down and start scrapbooking. My mother introduced me to that hobby when I was in about the sixth or seventh grade, and I still have those treasured books. I also have her high school scrapbook; she graduated in 1926 from St. Johns. Among the little papers I found in one of her books of favorite poems was the following: Your Hobby and Mine By Ethel Durnal Posegate Webster says a hobby is a Favorite pursuit. That we know was truly spoken, And theyre loads of fun to boot. A hobby may be ANYTHING that lets you feel relaxed. But quickly becomes LABOR, if
That
Be good to yourself
lowing list will help you on your way: genealogy, local history, photography, bird watching, gardening, flower gardening, fishing, travel, painting or drawing, music, sports, volunteering, reading books or poetry, the Internet, Facebook and collections, such as stamps. I know one man who has a huge tool collection and has written two books on tools. I have a vase collection that Mom got me into way back during World War II. We had a friend in the Army stationed in California who sent me that first vase made out of a piece of California Redwoods. It has a place of honor, among my many other vases, some of which belonged to my grandmothers. Some hobbies are more for women, such as crocheting, weaving, knitting, quilting, scrapbooking, baking, ceramics, embroidery and counted cross-stitch. They arent just for women. Just recently, when I was at Aero Printing, a young man came in to make copies of pictures and articles for his sons sports scrapbook. Some hobbies are more interesting for men, such as woodworking, wood carving, hunting, fishing, checkers, electric trains and the HAM radio. The late Paul Baumgarte was a good example of a HAM radio operator. ALSO - write your memoirs, your life story or autobiography. Everyone has a story to tell. One of the most interesting autobiographies that I have found is The Life and Times of Erma Miller Wehri Morman. This lovely woman from Kalida was married twice and has nine children, one who lives in Delphos. She has numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She describes the traveling she and her husband did with the children, before the day of disposable diapers. She describes life on the farm, life during the depression and World War II and many other tales. Her book is hand written and contains many pictures. A Delphos man, well call him Dick, has written The Story of a Lifetime, which begins with stories of his parents and grandparents. He includes life in the U. S. Army and school days. Some of his most interesting tales tell about two boys spending many happy hours along the Auglaize River in Fort Jennings. Louie Dickman, who had a bar and restaurant in Fort Jennings, paid Dick and his friend, Bob, 50 cents for every turtle they caught. They had spending money and Julie Dickman cooked up some good turtle soup. I have two large paragraphs written of my story, which will include my husband, our kids and their kids, our parents and grandparents. I am also working on the life story of my aunt, Christine, who grew up in Germany when Hitler came to power. This should give you something to start on. So be good to yourself and get started on a good hobby, today or tomorrow. The snow flakes are falling again so let me share this poem with you: Wrapped in Winter By Garnett Ann Schultz The world was wrapped in winter This tiny world called home, A blanket soft as cotton As natures beauty shown, A touch of magic wonder In snowflakes as they fell, And life held quiet beauty That wintertime could tell. The lane was wrapped in winter Each tree wore ermine white, With fence posts capped in splendor Within the dark of night, The pathway snug and cozy Between the banks of snow, And stars shone down from heaven Touched by the afterglow. The earth was warm with winter In peaceful, quiet bliss, Beneath snows magic blanket A silent happiness Within the arms of nature All safe and glowing there, God wrapped His world in winter Then left a sunbeam fair. The above poem was take from a Salesian Inspirational Book.
Chinese biz to put plant at former Ohio GM site

COLUMBUS (AP) A Chinese company will build an automotive glass-making plant in southwest Ohio, creating about 800 jobs and revitalizing a former General Motors factory site, officials said Friday. The chairman of the Fuyao Glass Industry Group Co. and the owner of the site signed an agreement at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus. The company is making a $200 million investment at the site in Moraine, near Dayton. Ohio officials said its the biggest Chinese investment yet in Ohio. The plant is expected to begin operations late next year, employing about 800 people within three years. The General Motors assembly plant employed 1,100 workers when it closed in late 2008. Ohio has been through some difficult times, but we are doing better, Ohio Gov. John Kasich told Fuyaos chairman, Cao Dewang. Kasich said the deal reaffirms the states leadership role in the automotive industry. Fuyao plans to buy more than 1 million square feet of space in a deal worked out with the states private development arm, JobsOhio, with involvement by local and regional development officials. Details of incentives offered the company have not been finalized and were not immediately disclosed. Ohio said other Midwestern states and some in the South also competed for the plant. The company said Ohios location, workforce and business environment were key factors in the decision. The manufacturer expects to start hiring for management positions in May, with manufacturing employees coming onboard at the end of the year, Cao told reporters. Fuyao plans to begin production by June 2015. Speaking through a translator, Cao said he did not anticipate the deal falling through. This investment is actually due to the demand of our customers, he said. And they believe we should be here, because we provide a large percentage of their products.

your mind is overtaxed. SOME hobbies are for pleasure, just those things we can enjoy. Which let us rise above such tasks that commonly annoy. Then, of course, there are some hobbies, used alone for recreation. Activities that let minds reach TOP heights of elevation. There are beneficial hobbies those that reimburse mankind. Hobbies that will show a profit, when the budget lags behind. There is NOTHING like a hobby to build character for some, And through hobbies what a blessing handicaps are overcome They refute that awful feeling that all USEFULNESS is gone. Lives are rehabilitated - with these hobbies comes the dawn. Of a new and brighter era, that brings hope to saddened hearts. EVERY hobby is God-given when new courage it imparts. Now some folks like our minister - just make hobbies of HARD WORK. No matter WHAT arises you will find they never shirk. Training YOUTH for active servicethats their hobby that has PAID.

COLUMBUS Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine recently announced the top 10 list of consumer complaints filed in 2013. Consumer complaints help us determine which issues are most affecting Ohioans, DeWine said. We handle complaints through our informal dispute resolution process to assist consumers and businesses in reaching a mutual agreement to resolve the issue. Were here to help. The 2013 top 10 consumer complaint categories were: Motor Vehicles Collections, Credit Reporting or Financial Services Do Not Call Internet, Phone or TV Services Household Goods or Property Improvement Professional Services Shopping, Food or Beverages Health and Beauty Sweepstakes or Prizes Mortgage Among motor vehicle complaints, consumers reported the most problems with used car sales and obtaining titles. DeWine reminded consumers to contact the Attorney Generals Office if a car dealership fails to provide a title within 30 days of the sale. Also among the nearly 26,500 total complaints filed in 2013 were 578 complaints involving identity theft, a fast-growing complaint category. DeWine launched an Identity Theft Unit in September 2012, and 2013 was the units first full year in operation. The unit helps identity theft victims rectify the effects of identity theft, such as fraudulently opened accounts or purchases made on existing accounts. Consumers who believe they have been treated unfairly should contact the Attorney Generals Office at 800-282-0515 or OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov.

People in Wisconsin felt their homes rumble and things fell off the wall. Maine residents observed loud noises and shaking outside their homes. Yours truly heard several noises outside her home and felt it shake a few times Monday and Tuesday. My husband and I looked all around the house and could not find any signs of what we heard so we shrugged it off and went about the business of staying warm and trying to get the dog to do his business in the short time he would stay outside. Were they earthquakes? Not exactly. It was frost quakes. According to geologists, a frost quake occurs when water freezes near the top layers of soil, expands and breaks. The frozen ground expands and it breaks and its the breaking that causes the shaking and might cause objects to rattle and houses to rumble. Usually found in extreme polar regions, frost quakes were experienced this week due to recordlow subzero temperatures. Some places that hadnt seen such temperatures in decades also experience frost quakes. So now you know the rest of the story. A little trip off the path I loved Paul Harvey. When I purchased my uncles car, it only had an AM radio (gasp). So when I was traveling to and from a second-shift job in Ohio City, I would listen to things most others didnt.

Americans are becoming weather wimps

1900 as calculated by the computer models was 12 degrees on Christmas Eve 1983, nearly 6 degrees chillier than Monday. The average daytime winter temperature is about 33 degrees, according to Carbins database. There have been far more unusually warm winter days in the U.S. than unusually cold ones. Since Jan. 1, 2000, only two days have ranked in the top 100 coldest: Monday and Tuesday. But there have been 13 in the top 100 warmest winter days, including the warmest since 1900: Dec. 3, 2012. And that pattern is exactly what climate scientists have been saying for years, that the world will get more warm extremes and fewer cold extremes. Nine of 11 outside climate scientists and meteorologists who reviewed the data for the AP said it showed that as the world warms from heat-trapping gas spewed by the burning of fossil fuels, winters are becoming milder. The world is getting more warm extremes and fewer cold extremes, they said. We expect to see a lengthening of time between cold air outbreaks due to a warming climate, but 17 years between outbreaks is probably partially due to an unusual amount of natural variability, or luck, Masters said in an email. I expect well go far fewer than 17 years before seeing the next cold air outbreak of this intensity. And the scientists dismiss global warming skeptics who claim one or two cold days somehow disproves climate change. When your hands are freezing off trying to scrape the ice off your car, it can be all too tempting to say, Wheres global warming now? I could use a little of that! But you know what? Its not as cold as it used to be anymore, Texas Tech University climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe said in an email. The recent cold spell, which was triggered by a frigid air mass known as the polar vortex that wandered way south of normal, could also be related to a relatively new theory that may prove a weather wild card, said Rutgers University climate scientist Jennifer Francis. Her theory, which has divided mainstream climate scientists, says that melting Arctic sea ice is changing polar weather, moving the jet stream and causing more weirdness.
A rising tide
Moderately confused
Maybe Christie could use an Obama hug

WASHINGTON In the days since revelations surfaced about New Jersey Gov. Chris Christies office orchestrating the now-infamous George Washington Bridge lane closings, Ive had at least four different reactions. Listed in chronological order, they were: Hes dead; maybe not so bad if he didnt know anything; OMG, an elderly woman died! Hes gone. Latest and hardly least, Christie may emerge relatively unscathed as the media displace him as villains. To stipulate, we recognize that Florida Sen. Marco Rubio made the sanest observation when asked Thursday to comment. I think the right approach is to be a bit prudent here and not jump to conclusions, Rubio said. I dont know anything about this. So for me to comment beyond that would just not be, you know, appropriate. Ahem, well, fine. There you have the difference between a senator in line to replace Christie as the leading Republican presidential candidate and everybody else. On the train from New York to Washington Thursday, two words continuously rose above the din: Chris Christie. The best summation of how the scandal is playing politically came from two high-profile consultants who happened to be on falsehoods about people KATHLEEN PARKER ed keeping the health insurance
Point of View
the same train Republican Mary Matalin and Democrat James Carville. BFD, said Matalin when I asked her thoughts. May I quote you? Yes. Carville, somewhat less concise, said he gave Christie a C-minus on his two-hour news conference, down from an initial B-plus. The lower grade followed further consideration that revealed contradictions and fuzzy details that didnt add up, he said. As just one example, also notably mentioned by Rush Limbaugh, Christie said he hadnt slept for a couple of days, but he had just found out about his staffs involvement the day before. Slip of the tongue, or vagueness in the service of subterfuge? Perhaps more to the point of Christies future, Carville noted that Limbaugh and other high-profile conservatives arent defending the governor. Even so, many Republicans in the Matalin camp see this as much ado about little, especially compared to, for instance, President Obamas repeat-

they like under the Affordable Care Act. Democrats see this as the inevitable ruin of a bully run amok. But another consequential feature of this controversy is an emerging narrative that, barring the unforeseen, could shift focus from Christies administration to the greater villain the media. Judging from my overflowing inbox, theres a growing sense on the right that Christie is being unfairly battered by a media all too eager to help defrock the Republican front-runner. Needless to say, one bad deed (Obamas falsehoods) does not excuse another (misusing power to punish a political foe). The bridge scandal is compelling precisely because it fits the welldocumented bullying image of Christie, notwithstanding his denials during the news conference. I am not a bully, he said, reminding us mostly of I am not a witch. Or I am not a crook. Christies style was always going to be problematic for him in the primaries, especially in the polite South. But now he also can be viewed as a victim not only of malignant, malicious and mind-bendingly stupid staffers but also of a two-faced, pro-Democratic media. The media are not monolithic, as we like to remind people. But we do have a
tendency to focus on the latest scandal. And it does seem that we tend to treat Republican scandals as more delicious than others. This is owing less to the sins committed than to the greater sin of hypocrisy. The higher the bar, the harder they fall. But Christie isnt a strong exhibit in the mean-media argument. More than a Republican, he is a colorful, larger-than-life character who speaks loudly and carries a big stick. Cameras will always find the most interesting landscape, and Christie has that turf covered. More to the salient point, as the leading Republican presidential candidate, he can hardly be ignored. Coverage of this fiasco isnt disproportionate to the man, even if it may be to the event. If, indeed, Christie had no knowledge of the lane closings and if, in fact, he was betrayed by idiots even though he hired and trusted those idiots then he could survive. Those are big ifs. What is certain is that the only thing the Republican base hates more than a liar and a bully is a bullying media. Once that common enemy is established, the perceived victim often becomes the victor. Kathleen Parkers email address is kathleenparker@ washpost.com.

Love letters
Since 1973, the US Postal Service has been issuing stamps with various images that depict Love. I cant think of another subject that brings warmth to every heart. Long before there were stamps or even envelopes, there were love letters. Its possible that you might find in your attic, in the back of a hidden drawer or locked away in a chest, a group of letters that have long been put away and maybe even forgotten. But a quick whiff of perfume or a glimpse of the handwriting or just a pretty ribbon tied so neatly around some faded pieces of paper and once again, you feel that flutter in your heart. As you drift through those letters you will find the deepest, most intimate thoughts of two lovers in love. You might stumble across letters written by soldiers in harms way trying to reassure their loved ones that they are doing fine while the reader might truly read the fear that lies between the lines. You might find poems, quotes or even sketches almost anything that would bring a tear of happiness to the readers face. I remember sitting out on the jetty watching the waves of the Atlantic Ocean crash, tumble and recede as I would scratch out a few stanzas of a poem to the woman who later became my wife. Do you recall getting letters from your sweetheart and flipping it over to see if there were these four letters S.W.A.K.? Though we gotta say good-bye for the summer, but darling I promise you this, Ill send you all my love every day in a letter, sealed with a kiss. Do you feel like you want to flip on a 45 or can you recall Brian Hyland singing this on American Bandstand? One of my favorite tunes about letters goes back to 1956 with Pat Boones recording of Love Letters in the Sand. That song spent five weeks at the top of the charts on the Billboard. Andy Williams released his version in 1959 followed by Vince Hill and Little Willie Littlefield. The first major hit recording of this song was in 1931 by Ted Blacks Orchestra. Letters we received or wrote are much like the first time we heard a particular song; we associate a time or place or how we felt with every word or note. I know these things have their place but I just dont get the same feel of opening up my browser and email program or if I get texted, twittered, tweeted, LinkedIn or Facebooked. (I guess there is some consolation, the last two show up as errors in my spell-checker). The thought that the repository for 99 percent of those items is the Trash also leaves me feeling flat. The fact that these are all void of calligraphy or even cursive or handwritten lines is just one more reason to lament the passing of this art form. My 5-year-old grandson can fly through time on his IPad but he stills looks forward to postcards or greeting cards from his relatives. So where is this all leading, you ask? On Feb. 9, the members and guests of the Museum of Postal History are going to Celebrate Love. This is the theme for our third annual Gala Dinner and we are looking to give you something special to celebrate with your special someone. Yes Valentines Day is just a week away and we thought that enjoying good food, drink and entertainment might put us all in a better mood after experiencing a miserable start to winter. We will have prizes and a few surprises as we hope to unveil a new exhibit about Love Letters and written letters in general. I am hoping that our readers will assist me by sending me or allowing me to copy some of their personal correspondence. I think it would be most fitting to display these items as some of our visitors might recognize family names or friends. For more information about obtaining tickets for this years Gala, call me at 419-303-5482 to place your reservation or leave a message on the museum phone at 419-204-5315. Checks for $25 per person can be mailed to MPH, PO Box 174, Delphos OH 458330174. Your tickets will be waiting for you at the door that evening. Drinks and hors doeuvres will be served at 5 p.m., a buffet dinner begins at 6 p.m. and a short program will be offered at 7 p.m.

Jays sneak out Smiths late free throws with MAC win lift Wildcats in OT
By LARRY HEIING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com MINSTER The St. Johns boys basketball team kicked off of busy stretch of games with a hard-fought 45-42 victory at Minster in Midwest Athletic Conference action. With weather canceling games and the usual late start with the football playoffs, the Blue Jays have only played six games coming into Fridays contest with a 5-1 record. Sundays heavy snowfall and sub-zero temperatures even canceled basketball practice until Wednesday. Although Coach Aaron Elwer couldnt get his team on the court, the rest may be welcomed with an upcoming schedule five games in the next eight days for the Blue Jays. Minsters gym was dark during the introduction of Wildcat players before the game. The lights seemed to stay out for the Blue Jay offense in the first quarter, with St. Johns only scoring four points. The Blue Jays missed their first six shots before Eric Clark blocked a Minster shot and laid it in at the the other end to break the ice at the 4-minute mark. St. Johns only other points in the opening stanza came on an assist by Clark to junior Tyler Conley under the bucket and the Jays trailed 9-4 at the end of the quarter. The lights finally came on for the Jays: a bucket by Andy Grothouse and his resulting free throw after being fouled on the play brought the locals within two. Ryan Koester stole a Minster inbounds pass under the St. Johns bucket and laid it in to tie the score at nine with only 20 seconds off the clock. The lead went back and forth for the rest of the second and Clark hit a shot at the buzzer to cut into the Minster lead 19-17 at halftime. For the first half, St. Johns only hit on 7-ofBy JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com

23 shots for a 30.4-percent average, along with 2-of10 from long range (20%). Luckily, Minster wasnt much better, shooting 38 percent on 8-o- 21 and 1-of-7 from 3-point range (14%). The usually timid Conley came alive after the halftime break, scoring on a layup to knot the score at 19. Clark gave the Jays the lead with a pull-up jumper and Grothouses spin-move layup extended the lead to four. Conley and Minsters Eli Wolf were huge influences on the floor during the third at both ends of the court, with Minster taking a 30-27 lead heading into the final eight minutes. Minsters lead went to a handful when Jacob Stechschulte finally connected after three offensive rebounds by Minster. St. Johns came right back, scoring the next seven points on a Grothouse triple and two buckets from Conley. After Minster tied the score at 34 on a Wolf turnaround, Koester grabbed an offensive rebound under the Jays basket and put it back in midair for a 2-point lead. From there, St. Johns made a perfect six free throws for a 44-42 lead. See JAYS, page 7

Ohio muzzleloader hunters bag more than 16,000 deer COLUMBUS Ohio hunters braved record-setting cold temperatures and howling winds to harvest 16,464 whitetailed deer during the states 4-day muzzleloader season, Jan. 4-7, according to the ODNR. The extreme cold that moved across the state during the final two days of the season did not deter some hunters as more than 3,800 deer were checked on Monday and Tuesday. Counties reporting the highest number of deer checked include: Guernsey (652), Coshocton (630), Muskingum (593), Tuscarawas (592), Belmont (561), Harrison (513), Licking (511), Athens (485), Jefferson (472) and Carroll (458). Muzzleloaders are traditional hunting implements that emphasize accuracy and the value of the first shot. The popularity of muzzleloading rifles for hunting and target shooting continues to grow. Types include flintlock, percussion cap, in-line percussion and muzzleloading shotgun.
Zipadelli offered to crew chief Stewart again

Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Tony Stewart and Greg Zipadelli won 33 races and two NASCAR championships together over a successful decade together. They split after the 2008 season when Stewart left to become co-owner of StewartHaas Racing and Stewart begins this season with his third different crew chief since Zipadelli. Its certainly evidence Stewart has struggled to find the same chemistry he had with Zipadelli all those years. So why not just reunite with Zipadelli? Zipadelli told The Associated Press on Friday it crossed his mind and he even he offered last year to return to the pit box this season with Stewart. The 3-time Cup champion wouldnt entertain the idea. He wouldnt let me. He shot me down pretty quick, explained Zipadelli, who as vice president of competition at SHR manages all four of SHRs Sprint Cup teams. Zipadelli admitted he misses calling races and the competition side of being a crew chief something he didnt anticipate when he left Joe Gibbs Racing after the 2011 season to move into a management role for Stewart. He still got into the action calling 10 races in 2012 for Danica Patrick but was strictly behind the scenes all of last year. I miss the adrenaline. I really do, said Zipadelli, who also thinks the crew chief position has changed the last few
Hunting is the best and most effective management tool for maintaining Ohios healthy deer population; hunters have harvested more than 185,000 deer so far in the 2013-2014 hunting seasons. Ohios deer-archery season is open through Feb. 2. The DOW remains committed to properly managing Ohios deer populations through a combination of regulatory and programmatic changes. The goal of Ohios Deer Management Program is to provide a population that maximizes recreational opportunities, while minimizing conflicts with landowners and motorists. This ensures that Ohios deer herd is maintained at a level that is both acceptable to most and biologically sound. Until recently, the populations in nearly all of Ohios counties were well above their target numbers. In the last few years, through increased harvests, dramatic strides have been made in many counties to bring those populations closer toward their goal. Once a countys deer population is near goal, harvest regulations are adjusted to maintain the population near that goal. More information about Ohio deer hunting can be found in the 2013-2014 Ohio Hunting and Trapping Regulations or at wildohio.com. Hunters who received a 2013-14 Ohio deer hunter effort and harvest survey are encouraged to complete it when the season ends. This survey is an important tool in Ohios program and information provided in the survey is vital for establishing regulations. The survey is conducted with a random sampling of hunters to help eliminate bias. A list of white-tailed deer checked by hunters during the 2014 muzzleloader hunting season is shown below. The first number following the countys name shows the harvest numbers for 2014 and the 2013 numbers are in parentheses. See WILDLIFE, page 7

The weather will probably be worse and outside of a player here or there on both sides, nothing else has changed. This outcome wont either. NEW ENGLAND: Every time you feel like its time to bury the Patriots, they respond. They had a chance to rest up and heal up some and Belichick is a master at preparing his team with extra time. SAN FRANCISCO: I realize when these teams played at Carolina, the Panthers won. That seems like a different 49ers season. SAN DIEGO: With the weather actually supposed to be nice, that suits the Chargers. Plus, they controlled the football both times this season and kept Peyton and Company off the field; the Broncos defense isnt much different now. BOB WEBER SEATTLE The Seahawks go for a sixth straight home playoff contest win and their 16th victory in 17 home games. Their defense led the league this year and has forced 28 interceptions and a passer rating for opposing QBs of 63.4. Russell Wilson continues to shine as one of the new stars in the league. Tough place to play and the whole 6th Man Factor will spell the end to the Saints. NEW ENGLAND My heart says Colts more importantly, my wallet says Patriots. Ill be rooting big time for the Colts; however, all this time for Bill Belichick and Tom Brady to prepare points me towards the Patriots. SAN FRANCISCO What was the first think out of 49ers QB Colin Kaepernicks mouth after their win in Green Bay WE OWE EM. Kaepernick will have all his weapons available with the return of Michael Crabtree and a solid defense to keep the Panthers and Cam Newton in check. VERY, VERY PHYSICAL GAME 49ers will prevail.

Here are the Games: Divisional Playoffs: New Orleans at Seattle; Indianapolis at New England; San Francisco at Carolina; San Diego at Denver. matchup for the NFL. Cam Newton will lead Carolina in this one against Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers for a chance to play in the NFC title game. I am going to go with Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers in this battle of NFC titans by a score of 24 to 13. Denver: The Chargers, coming off a huge upset of the Cincinnati Bengals, come into this matchup riding high against the well-rested Denver Broncos. Peyton Manning (he is no Andy Dalton) from the Broncos is looking for one last Super Bowl and I dont think the Chargers will be able to deny him in this matchup. I look for Denver to roll big in this game by a final score of 45 to 17 in this game. CHARLIE WARNIMONT Seattle The Seahawks struggled to the finish line, if thats what you want to call it with a comfortable lead in the standings. The Seahawk fans are among the 12th man in the NFL and will provide the home team with a definite edge in this matchup. New England - Going with the home team; not sure why. The New England defense is banged up and the Colts are coming off a superb second half against Kansas City one week ago. Can this patchwork defense of New Englands stop the Colts Andrew Luck and T.Y. Hilton, who hooked up for 224 yards and two scores. The Patriots like to run the ball and that will keep the ball away from the Colt offense. San Francisco - Carolina won their regular-season meeting by one point, 10-9. San Francisco is the hottest team in football right now and the Panthers have had a week off with the bye. The 49ers Michael Crabtree didnt play in the first meeting and could be the differencemaker in this one. Denver - San Diego nearly cost Denver home-field advantage in the playoffs with their mid-December win in Denver. The Chargers have played well twice against the Broncos this season, holding them around 30 points both times. Peyton Manning has struggled in opening playoff games but with last seasons double-overtime loss to Baltimore still biting at them, look for the Broncos to prevail in a close game.
Saints, Seahawks clash in NFC divisional playoff

Associated Press SEATTLE When they walked off the field in Atlanta last January after blowing their chance to play for the NFC championship in the final seconds, there were varying emotions brewing in the Seattle Seahawks locker room. Anger, disappointment and reflection were wide spread. Some, like quarterback Russell Wilson, were already peeking ahead what appeared to be a bright future. Others never wanted to experience those emotions again. We never want to feel that feeling again, Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman said this week. I think as motivated as New Orleans is from what happened to them the last time they came here, were just as motivated from what happened in Atlanta. We dont ever want to go there and feel that feeling of regret, of disappointment, of anger, of frustration, of all those things that you felt after that game that you felt like you should have won. The Seahawks chance at making amends for what happened in last seasons playoffs arrives today when they host New Orleans in the NFC divisional playoff. But now the Seahawks arent the upstarts with little pressure and limited expectations. They are the top seed in the NFC coming off a 13-3 regular season that matched the best in franchise history and well aware anything short of a trip to the Super Bowl would be a massive disappointment. After having last week off, the Seahawks say theyre ready for this playoff experience. When we first got there last year a lot of the guys we didnt know what to expect. Were just young wanting to go out there, have fun and do our best, Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin said. Now we kind of expect the atmosphere we know what were going into and we know its going to be amped up so were going to be just as amped up to repeat it. In many ways, the feelings the Seahawks had leaving Atlanta last season are similar to what the Saints felt leaving Seattle in December. The performance New Orleans put forth in a national spotlight was surprisingly unimpressive. Drew Brees was confused, Jimmy Graham was invisible and the Saints aggressive defense was exploited by Wilson. The 34-7 loss to Seattle was significant in
and Andy Dalton!!! The best QB in the league, and maybe all-time, in Peyton Manning will be waiting on you. Mile High Stadium will be rocking whatever the weather conditions are and I see this as a possible rout for the Broncos. ERIN COX SEATTLE: I picked this game wrong before and Im not doing it again. This pick and the next pick are very much based on my personal views of the team I want to lose, not the team I chose to win. Other than that, I think Seattles fans will help them win this one again. INDIANAPOLIS: My dislike for Brady and Belichick far outweigh any sense of reason but I do really like the way the Colts are playing right now. Luck will be in the Colts favor. SAN FRANCISCO: Again, this is my team of choice for the rest of the season because my boyfriend likes them. DENVER: I want to see Peyton Manning make this season all about him (so I can forget the horror of Dallas). MIKE WULFHORST New Orleans: Now that the Bengals have been eliminated the Saints are now the team to beat for the Super Bowl this year. Seattle is an up and coming team in the NFL but still a year away from competing for a championship. The Saints win this one by a score of 27 to 13. Indianapolis: Tom Brady vs. Andrew Luck in this huge matchup of AFC rivalries. The Patriots have quite a bit of playoff experience in this matchup, while the Colts are a young and hungry team. I look for Andrew Luck and Trent Richardson to lead the Colts to victory in this one by a score of 34 to 27. Carolina: This is going to be an good olfashioned slobber-knocker (Editors Note: A little Good Ole JR from WWE, eh?!) with 2 great defenses duking it out in this one. Also two up and coming quarterbacks matching up in this dream

forcing the Saints into challenges they faced, having to win in Week 17 just to make the playoffs and having to spend the entire postseason away from the comforts of New Orleans. They passed the first two tests, beating Tampa Bay in the season finale to wrap up the No. 6 seed in the NFC then picking up the first playoff road win in franchise history in a 26-24 win at Philadelphia last week. Now the Saints get a chance at a bit of redemption. The piercing noise of CenturyLink Field and the style that Seattle plays will no longer be surprises. And theres a bit of history on the side of the Saints. Since 2005, No. 6 seeds are 5-2 against No. 1 seeds in the divisional round. I was just hoping we have another opportunity and here we are with that opportunity, Brees said. The Saints are subtly different for better and worse since that December blowout. They are more committed to running the football over the last three games and capped with 185 yards rushing last week against the Eagles. That commitment will be severely tested by Seattles No. 1 ranked defense that gave up 13 yards rushing to St. Louis the last time it was on the field. They are also better on the offensive line with the decision to replace Charles Brown at left tackle with Terron Armstead. But New Orleans is littered with injuries, the latest being linebacker Parys Haralson being lost for the season with a torn pectoral last week. Running back Pierre Thomas is also an unknown with a chest injury. Theres going to be attrition when you look at a 16-game schedule and you hope that you stay healthier than most and you hope that you are able to keep most of your starters intact, New Orleans coach Sean Payton said. Weve had a handful of injuries defensively, a few on offense and I think the key is developing the younger players, developing your back up players throughout the work week. Seattle is also different from the first meeting, although theres no track record to know just what adding Percy Harvin to the offense will mean. Certainly the addition of Harvin who missed all but one game of the season after hip surgery makes Seattle more dynamic and could provide a needed boost to an offense that slumped the final four weeks of the regular season.

More than 40,000 Ohio students participated in NASP as part of their physical edu-
Wildcats
cation curriculum during the 2012-2013 academic year. The state tournament has openings for 1,512 student archers from certified NASP schools across Ohio. Registrations will close once the 1,512 openings are filled. ODNR will host the 2014 State NASP Tournament from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Feb. 28, in conjunction with the 2014 Arnold Sports Festival at Veterans Memorial, located at 300 West Broad St., Columbus, Ohio 43215. NASP is a school curriculum currently taught in 650 Ohio schools, making Ohio the third-largest program in the United States. Instruction takes place during two weeks of physical education classes and is designed to teach international target archery skills to students in grades 4-12. Students with high-ranking scores may be eligible for scholarships through Hocking College in Nelsonville. Individual archers and teams may also qualify for the NASP National Championship, which will be held May 9-10, 2014, at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Ky. April Bartenschlag of Philo High School in Duncan Falls scored a 296 out of 300 at the 2013 NASP National Tournament. She was named the top high school female archer, top overall female archer, won a $5,000 college scholarship and was named to the NASP All-American Team. Last year, ODNR certified 370 new instructors from 57 schools in 49 different school districts as Basic Archery Instructors and awarded $57,000 in grants to help with start-up costs. New schools can apply for up to $2,500 in grant money to start an archery program at their school. Ohio was the 10th state to participate in NASP, introduced by the DOW in 2004 with 12 pilot schools. Statewide expansion began in January 2005. Growth in NASP has continued across the state; more than half of Ohios 88 counties currently have at least one school participating. Schools interested in learning more about NASP may contact Matt Neumeier, shooting sports coordinator for the DOW, at 614-2656334 or at matt.neumeier@dnr.state.oh.us.

AKRON Ohio wildlife biologists are frequently contacted by concerned residents who spot coyotes in highly-developed areas. This is often not cause for alarm. Coyotes are highly-adaptable animals that live in a wide variety of environments; thus, there is no need to report sightings to wildlife officials unless the animal appears hurt, sick, or habituated. Here are a few steps to keep in mind when you encounter an urban coyote in the Buckeye State. 1. Understand that coyotes are common throughout Ohios 88 counties and are regularly seen within city limits. Read more about coyotes at www.wildohio.com 2. There are no wolves living in the wild in Ohio. 3. If you spot a coyote on your property, make sure to remove all attractants to deter the coyote from returning. This includes removing garbage and pet food primarily before nightfall and cleaning up around the grill. Do not feed coyotes directly. 4. Coyotes prey primarily on small mammals such as rabbits and rodents. However, interactions with domestic pets do occur sometimes. Keep small dogs and cats inside (especially after nightfall) or leashed when outside. Motion-sensitive lighting also tends to be helpful at keeping wildlife away from your home. 5. Occasionally, an inquisitive coyote will stay put and watch you curiously. Make noise. Clap your hands and shout; the coyote will likely move on at this point. If it doesnt, throw objects like rocks at it to scare it away. A coyote that loses its fear of humans could potentially become a threat. 6. If the coyote visiting your yard does not respond to harassment techniques such as loud noises or it is presenting a conflict even after removing attractants from your yard, contact a nuisance trapper. They use highlyregulated techniques to reduce urban wildlife conflicts. Coyote populations in rural areas can be managed through legal hunting and trapping methods. Consult the yearly Ohio Hunting and Trapping Regulations digest for more information. Sportsmen and women interested in pursuing coyotes are encouraged to attend a free, informational workshop provided by Division of Wildlife on Jan. 22 in Akron.
Jays
Minster had a chance to tie the game with 11 seconds left but Koester grabbed the rebound on the missed shot and was fouled. With St. Johns in the double bonus, he made 1-of-2 from the charity line for a 3-point lead. Minster had one last shot for the tie but one of the smaller players on the court, Clark, came up big with a block of Minsters Brandon Hoying at the buzzer to seal the victory. Its always good to win on Friday night in the MAC, Elwer said after the game. The last four times that weve traveled to Minster, its turned out to be a defensive struggle. Id rather learn by winning a close game than suffering a tough loss and this was a tough win for us. St. Johns came into the game allowing only 41.2 points per game, which is tops in the league under the defensive category. On the offensive side, St. Johns was lead by Grothouse with 17 points, Clark with 11 and Conley with 10 points. Their second-half shooting percentage improved to 47 percent to give the Jays an average of 38.6 percent for the game. Minsters shooting percentage also improved to 50 percent in the second half with a game average of 43.9 percent. The deciding factor in the outcome was foul shots with Minster only shooting 30 percent on 3-of-10. St. Johns, on the other hand, made 8-of-11 (73%). Delphos also won the battle on the glass, grabbing 24 rebounds to 19 for Minster. The next action for St. Johns is tonight at Shawnee, with Minster taking on Ft. Loramie.

Ask Mr. Know-it-All

by Gary Clothier Q: I have a question about the Pittsburgh Steelers. Why is the logo on one side of the helmet instead of both sides? -- D.D., Lake Jackson, Texas A: The Steelers iconic symbol -which is extremely similar to the Steelmark logo belonging to the American Iron and Steel Institute -- features three diamond shapes representing the materials used to produce steel -orange for ore, yellow for coal and blue for steel scrap. The diamond shapes are called hypocycloids.

Helmets commemorate winning season

In the 1950s, when helmet logos became popular, the Steelers added each players number to either side of the thengold helmets. The Steelmark logo made its debut in 1962. The logo was placed on one side only (the right side) to make sure the idea was a good one. The 1962 Steelers finished 9-5 and became the winningest team in franchise history up to that point. To do something special for their first postseason game, the helmet color was changed from gold to black, which helped to highlight the new logo. Because of the interest generated by having the logo on one side of the helmets, the Steelers decided to leave it that way permanently. Q: I have been watching Criminal Minds since it first came on TV. They use the term unsub when referring to an alleged criminal. I have searched, but I cannot find anything on the word. -- B.L., Torrance, Calif. A: Unsub is short for UNknown SUBject. Q: When a U.S. president leaves office before the term is over, the vice president takes over the duties. Who replaces the vice president? -- J.M., Torrance, Calif. A: The 25th Amendment, ratified in 1967, solved the problem of how to replace

a vice president. The president nominates a new vice president who must be approved by a majority in the House and Senate. Before the 25th Amendment, a vacancy in the office was left unfilled. Q: Why are bottle and can openers called church keys? -- P.S., Walnut, Calif. A: Early bottle openers, with a large, flat shape, resembled simple keys. The design was patented in 1900. Some say that the name is used as a sarcastic euphemism -- clearly the tool was not designed to open churches, of all places.

GOP House targets health Massive Target breach care law; 67 Dems join in could have lasting effects
WASHINGTON (AP) The Republican-led House voted overwhelmingly Friday to bolt new security requirements onto President Barack Obamas health care law, with 67 Democrats breaking ranks to join with the GOP. It was the first skirmish of what is certain to be a long and contentious election-year fight. The vote was 291-122 with Republicans relentlessly focusing on Obamacare, convinced that Americans unease with the troubled law will translate into significant election gains in November. Dozens of Democrats, nervous about their re-election chances or their campaigns for other offices, voted for the GOP bill. Americans have the right to know if the presidents health care law has put their personal information at risk, and todays bipartisan vote reflects that concern, said Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. Among the Democrats joining the Republicans was Rep. Steve Israel of New York, the chairman of his partys campaign committee dedicated to electing Democrats. I voted for this bill because I want to make sure confidential information is protected. Thats just common sense, Israel said in a statement. This is an added consumer safeguard on top of the many consumer protections in the law that already exist. MICHELLE CHAPMAN AP Business Writer NEW YORK Fallout from Targets pre-Christmas security breach is likely to affect the companys sales and profits well into the new year. The company disclosed on Friday that the massive data theft was significantly more extensive and affected millions more shoppers than the company reported in December. As a result of the breach, millions of Target customers have become vulnerable to identity theft, experts say. The nations second largest discounter said hackers stole personal information including names, phone numbers as well as email and mailing addresses from as many as 70 million customers as part of a data breach it discovered last month. Target announced on Dec. 19 that some 40 million credit and debit card accounts had been affected by a data breach that happened between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15 just as the holiday shopping season was getting into gear. As part of that announcement, the company said customers names, credit and debit card numbers, card expiration dates, debit-card PINs and the embedded code on the magnetic strip on the back of cards had been stolen. According to new information gleaned from its investigation with the Secret Service and the Department of Justice, Target said Friday that criminals also took non-credit card related data for some 70 million shoppers who could have made purchases at Target stores outside the late Nov. to mid-Dec. timeframe. Some overlap exists between the two data sets, the company said Friday. That means that more than 70 million people may have had their data stolen. The latest developments come as Target said that just this week it was starting to see sales recover from the crisis. The company, however, cut its earnings outlook for the quarter that covers the crucial holiday season and warned that sales would be down for the period. But with the latest news, some analysts believe the breach could be a financial drag on the company for several more quarters. This is going to linger like a black cloud over the companys financials for the first half of the year, said Brian S. Sozzi, CEO & chief equities strategist at Belus Capital Advisors. Meanwhile, the Attorney General from New York announced that it is participating in an investigation into the security breach. Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman called the latest news deeply troubling. Molly Snyder, a Target spokesman, told The Associated Press that she didnt have new details to share about how the data breach was conducted. The company has only said that its point-of sale system in its U.S. stores was compromised.
Chemical spill brings W.Va. capital to standstill

JONATHAN MATTISE Associated Press CHARLESTON, W.Va. A chemical spill left the water for 300,000 in and near West Virginias capital city tinted bluegreen and smelling like licorice, with officials saying Friday there was no indication of when it might again be safe for even mundane activities like showers and laundry. Federal authorities began investigating how the foaming agent escaped a chemical plant and seeped into the Elk River. Just how much of the chemical leaked remained unclear. Officials are working with the company that makes the chemical to determine how much can be in the water without it posing harm to residents, said West Virginia American Water president Jeff McIntyre. We dont know that the waters not safe. But I cant say that it is safe, McIntyre said Friday. For now, there is no way to treat the tainted water aside from flushing the system until its in low enough concentrations to be safe, a process that could take days. Officials and experts said the chemical, even in its most concentrated form, isnt deadly. However, people across nine counties were told not to so much as wash their clothes in water affected, as the compound can cause symptoms ranging from skin irritation and rashes to vomiting and diarrhea.
HPV
HPV facts: HPV can infect anyone who has ever had a sexual encounter, even without going all the way. HPV is spread through skin-to-skin contact, not through an exchange of bodily fluid. In most cases, the virus is harmless and most people have no symptoms. The body clears most HPV infections naturally. HPV can be contracted from one partner, remain dormant and then later, be unknowingly transmitted to another sexual partner, including a spouse. Though usually harmless, some highrisk types cause cervical cell changes that, if not detected in time, can turn into cancer. The majority of women with an HPV infection will not develop cervical cancer but regular Pap tests are important. Cervical cancer most commonly takes 10-20 years or more to develop; women
who are no longer sexually active should still have Pap tests. Cervical cancer is the first cancer in women to be identified as being caused almost exclusively by a virus. The best way to screen for cervical cancer is a Pap test, which may be done alone or, for women age 30 and older, in combination with an HPV DNA test. HPV infections in women over 30 are less likely to be cleared naturally, so an HPV test can be helpful in letting health care providers know which women are at greatest risk of cervical cancer. Regular Pap tests, supplemented by appropriate HPV testing, will detect virtually all pre-cancerous changes and cervical cancers. Genital warts usually appear as a small bump or group of bumps in the genital area. They can be small or large, raised or flat, or shaped like a cauliflower. Health care providers typically diagnose warts by looking at the genital area during
an office visit. Warts can appear within weeks or months after sexual contact with an infected partnereven if the infected partner has no signs of genital warts. If left untreated, genital warts might go away, remain unchanged or increase in size or number. They will not turn into cancer. Latex condoms can reduce but not totally eliminate the risk of HPV transmission. HPV type 16 is linked to some head and neck cancers. Approximately 30 percent of oral carcinoma is related to HPV. Oropharayngeal cancers (cancer of the tonsils, back of throat or base of the tongue) are rare but the risk increases with the number of oral sex partners. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call the Womans Preventative Healthcare Project at 419238-4500 or 1-800-901-9727. For more information and statistics, visit seer. cancer.gov.

There are six ball boys and ball girls stationed on a tennis court during a championship match at Wimbledon two at the net and one in each of the four corners of the court. Todays questions: Where does the water in the Panama Canal originate? Whose likeness did First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt want carved alongside the presidential sculptures on Mount Rushmore?
