DELPHOS An aging building is causing concern at Delphos

City Schools.
Jefferson Middle School
is 104 years old and will need
extensive repairs and updates in
the near future.
An elevator for handicapped-accessibility, a new roof
and old boilers have school board
members and the administration
searching for solutions.
Members of the board of education approved hiring GarmannMiller Architects Monday evening to put together a formal
presentation for the board on
future facility needs, including
combining Jefferson High School
and Middle School students into
one building at the high school,
which would entail an addition to
the existing building.
We just want need to know
what is feasible from the beginning, Superintendent Kevin
Wolfe said. We need to have a
topographical footprint, if you
will, to see if a grades 6-8 wing
at the high school will fit and if
it would work. Logistically, it
would make us even more efficient.
Wolfe has already looked into
an elevator at the middle school
building and found the minimum
cost to be approximately $75,000
per floor. The building has 3 1/2
floors, the 1/2-floor causing a
problem.
The boilers are on the 1/2floor and there is no place to put
an elevator down there, so we
will have to look at adding one
to the outside of the building and
that would be even more costly,
Wolfe explained. I dont know if
we are going to be able to come
up with a solution to make that

building handicapped-accessible
for students and thats a problem.
The city schools currently
do not have a student in the
middle-school level that needs
assistance getting around the
building.
Wolfe also talked about the
recent $999,785 Straight A. Grant
received by the school through the
efforts of teacher Missy McClurg
for a Career Connection Student
Center to be constructed in front
of the high school. The center
will be a field trip destination for
students in grades 7-12 for career
exploration at all education levels
from high school diploma to doctorate level based on 45 jobs most
in-demand in Ohio.
The building will be self-sustaining with a solar panel system
on the roof which will pay for
the utility costs of the building
and more.
Seven other area schools
will participate in the project,
including Allen East, Apollo
Career Center, Crestview, Elida,
Fort Jennings, Lincolnview and
Pandora.
Wolfe also touched on the
practice football field located
at the high school. The athletic
department brought its concerns
of standing water on the field
to the administrations attention.
Wolfe said the field would have
to wait another year.
The window project at the
high school will see the replacement of 98 windows and two
east-side door entrances. The
$138,900 project will begin
in March. The windows at the
school are original, dating back
to 1975. Their replacements will
include screens.

650 area sophomores visit Vantage Career Center

Information submitted
VAN WERT Six hundred and fifty sophomores came to Vantage on Wednesday, Feb. 3, for
Sophomore Visitation Day. Each sophomore
had the opportunity to investigate and explore
two different career technical programs of interest
to them. During each one-hour visit, there were
hands-on activities, demonstrations and presentations prepared especially for them.
Vantage Cosmetology students staged a style
show for the 10th-graders, while those visiting
Welding got a chance to try out the virtual welder.
Visitors to Auto Body used their artistic talent to
pinstripe by hand and practiced using the paint
gun in the booth.
In Auto Technology, students learned how to
use the tire balancer and the rim clamp and had
a contest to see how quickly they could replace a
spark plug.
Sophomores in Network Systems got to use
some of the latest technology Oculus 3D Rift
Virtual Reality, Google Cardboard, and Google
Glass, while those visiting Interactive Media got to
work with the 3D printer.
In Construction Equipment Technology, students
tried out the zero turn mower and skid steer.
There was a lot going on.

Craig Recker of Fort Jennings is currently
completing a degree in the Vision-funded
Program at the College of Education at the
University of Toledo, the only vision program
with a full-time professor in Ohio. Reckers
decision received attention because vision
programs throughout the country have low
enrollments and this partly explains the dearth
of vision teachers, according to UT professor
Sakui Malakpa, Ph.D.J.D.

of Postal Historys annual

Gala.
The annual gala sported
a 1950s theme with a picnic-themed catered dinner
Ebbeskotte took over

his new role four months
ago from current curator
and founder Gary Levitt.
This is our fifth gala
and attendance was down
a bit because we normally
host this on a Sunday but
with the Super Bowl we
decided to try Saturday,
Ebbeskotte continued.
We are a non-profit entity that depends on
these fundraisers to maintain the museum, said
Levitt. People ask me all
the time why a postal
museum in Delphos, Ohio.
Its because Delphos was
founded on transportation
with the (Miami and Erie)
canal and later the Lincoln
Highway. The United
States Postal Service used
these modes to move letters and packages across
the country.
Our mission is to educate the public about the
development of America
and the mails influence
on technology and culture.
The Museum of Postal
History bought its current
location in 2008 and has
been a work in progress
ever since.
I didnt make all the
decisions on my own I
depended on board members for their input and
ideas, continued Levitt.
Current plans for the
museum are to remodel
the third story above the
event center and add a
World War II Holocaust
exhibit.
Keep up to date on the

worlds of foreign affairs,
local events, fashion,
sports, finance, and many
other subjects with your
newspaper. Youll also
find entertaining features,
like cartoons, columns,
puzzles, reviews, and lots
more.

HOBY Youth
Leadership
Seminar
comes to ONU
Landeck
collects 100
cans for
100th day
ADA Calling all high
school sophomores! The Hugh
OBrian Youth Leadership
seminar for the Ohio West
Region is now accepting registrations. The seminar will
be held June 9-12, 2016 at
Ohio Northern University in
Ada, OH and is presented by
the James F. Dicke College
of Business Administration at
Ohio Northern University. The
state seminar is planned entirely
by local volunteers who believe
in the ability of young people to
make a difference in their communities. Students participate
in hands-on leadership activities, meet leaders in the state,
and explore their own personal
leadership skills while learning how to lead others. The
seminar curriculum is based on
the Social Change Model of
Leadership and develops leadership from three perspectives:
Personal Leadership, Group
Leadership, and Leadership
for Society. Students will also
have the chance to meet other
young leaders from around the
state to discuss important topics
that are currently affecting their
lives.
Attending the Ohio West
HOBY Leadership Seminar is
the first step in opening the
door to outstanding, lifelong
leadership opportunities for
local high school sophomores.
Each school in the region is
able to send one student at a
reduced cost of $195 thanks
to local volunteers, community
organizations, and businesses.
Space is limited and some full
scholarships are also available.
If you know a high school
sophomore in your community with leadership potential
who would like to attend the
Ohio West HOBY seminar,
please contact Cory Dippold
at hobyleaders@gmail.com. To
learn more, visit hoby.org or
www.hobyohio.org/west.

Tuesday was the 100th

day of school for Delphos
City Schools. Sue Barclays
Landeck first-grade class
celebrated by collecting
more than 100 canned goods

what 100 items looked like
and to also help others in
need. (Submitted photo)

What to do with the end

of the NFL season?
The
2015-16
Jim Metcalfe
National Football
League season is no
more.
Done.
Finito.
Peyton Manning
won his second Super
Bowl, the Carolina
Panthers in the
words of NFL analyst
Trent Dilfer barfed all over themselves and Cam Newton
did not put his best foot forward with his supposed post-game
interview.
To me, if you wanted to drink in all the adulation and press
before he owned it! with your Superman persona and
such, then step to the plate when things dont go your way.
Even when you dont feel like it.
I dont think you want that to be your defining moment.
Now we only have to wait another 6-plus months for another meaningful football game in the pros.
What do we do in the meantime?
Theres a lot of things.
We can redo our sock drawer.
We can re-examine the New Years resolutions we swore
wed follow and then forgot about in a week or two or
three!
This time, we will follow them for TWO weeks!
Of course, we can prepare for the coming March Madness
for mens college basketball and by some extension, womens college basketball to see who will finish second to the
University of Connecticut women.
It utterly amazes me how a team like the Lady Huskies can
seem to never, ever EVER have a bad game.
Of course, there is other news in mens basketball, as in the
University of Louisvilles self-imposed exile from this years
Big Dance due to a recruiting scandal but one wonders if we
have seen the end of that.
I dont dislike the Cardinals but are we to the point that
we can pick and choose our punishment for something that
supposedly was so bad?
Or the only major-college mens program SMU still
unbeaten but not being eligible for the post-season, either.
This might be long-time coach Larry Browns finest job,
what with his team literally having nothing to play for but
pride.
With all the supposed parity in the college game and
this year there seems to be oodles it seems to me that there
ought to be more scandals with regards to recruiting, what with
all thats riding on the outcome and how tough it really is to
recruit the few really, really top-notch players.

Jays grab dual versus Bearcats

BY JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS There was

supposed to be a tri-wrestling
match Tuesday night at St.
Johns.
The Blue Jays were
supposed to welcome in
Spencerville and Parkway.
However, due to Versailles
making it to the Division III
State Dual Team Tournament,
Parkway will now come to
St. Johns Saturday morning for the Midwest Athletic
Conference championships.
That left the severely
undermanned Bearcats and
their three wrestlers to battle the Jays, who honored
a pair of senior wrestlers:
Evan Mohler and the injured
Avery Martin; as well as two
senior statisticians: Samantha
Stevenson and Maddie
Buettner.
The Jays won two of the
three contested matches and
won the dual 34-6.
Evyn Pohlman tech-falled
Peyton Ford at 152 pounds
and Brett Vonderwell pinned
Gage Bellows at 171.
Caleb Sutherland pinned
Andrew Shawhan at 285.
What youre looking to
do in this match and the next
Saturday is to finetune for
the sectionals. What matches
you are able to get, youre
looking to prepare as best
you can, Blue Jays coach
Derek Sterling explained.
Evyn Pohlman had a great
match against Peyton Ford.
Ford finished second at the
NWC meet Saturday, so to
almost get a pin and to get a
tech fall is a good match.
Brett Vonderwell continues to fill the gas tank after
returning from his football
injury a couple of weeks ago.
He pushed it hard in the sec-

more time with each individual wrestler between me
and Tom (Wegesin), whos
always there, but its nice to
have other guys in practice to
work with.

Musings
Draw
(Continued from page 6)
Still, with all that throw in spring training around the

corner and the NBA regular-season going through its dog days
this NFL off-season might be as intriguing as any.
Last year was the NFL trying to deal with the Tom Brady
DeflateGate scandal, as well as some other personal matters,
like Johnny Manziels rehab.
With that in mind, what could be some of the matters that
the NFL might have to deal with?
There is the proposed rules change about ejections for too
many personal foul penalties that might come down the pike
and what that might do for certain players who have volatility issues.
Then there is the continuing saga of Johnny Football and
where he might end up if anywhere should the Cleveland
Browns finally cut ties after all his shenanigans.
(Please, not in Dallas! Please!)
Ive seen web sites where they have odds as to his potential
to be arrested first!
You want to bet as to how much action will be taken on
that sooner rather than later?
Lets face it, us football fans ALL have those thoughts
and more about other players that are perpetual troublemakers
in the backs of our minds as to the likelihood these things
will pass.
Especially when you think of some of the personal-conduct
issues the NFL has had to deal with the last few off-seasons,
its bound to happen.
Then there is the big decision many of us believe
its already been made but its not official about Peyton
Mannings retirement.
My guess is it will come sooner no later than the middle
of March than later.
Stay tuned.
In sectional play on
February 23 at Van Wert
High School, Pandora-Gilboa

(3-15) followed by Kalida

DELPHOS
Four
Jefferson senior girls hardwood players had their home
finale versus Fort Jennings
Monday night at Jefferson
High School.
Unfortunately for that
quartet, the Lady Musketeers
were rude guests.
They took the lead for
good to start the fourth and
held on for a 53-39 nonleague victory.
Jessica Pimpas (10 points,
3 boards), Tori Black (6
markers, 3 boards, 2 steals,
2 assists), Bailey Gorman (6
counters) and Taylor Stroh
(5 boards, 4 assists, 4 thefts)
had their Lady Wildcat swan
song.
Ive had more than a
few of these and they dont
get easier to say good-bye
to seniors, Wildcat mentor
Dave Hoffman explained.
Their final home game is
always difficult. This year
just flew by, even though its
a long season. The weather
has cooperated in that.
The Musketeers were
minus starter Abby Von
Sossan (illness).
She was sitting at home.
We also had a number of
girls that were returning
from 4-day sicknesses, head
coach Rhonda Liebrecht
explained. We told the five
girls we had out there that
they had to be ready to play
for as long as they were out
there. When we subbed, we
told them the same thing. For
the most part, we just played.
We shot very well, especially
on 3-pointers, but not our
free throws. I think partly it
was because this was like a
tournament game; this is what
well be seeing next week.
After January, where I felt we
lost some focus, we have had
to get refocused and get ready
for the tournament.
The Wildcats (10-11) led
38-37 to 0open the fourth but
theMusketeers (4-17) took
the lead for good as Vanessa
Wallenhorst (17 counters - 4
bombs - 6 boards, 4 thefts)
buried a bomb from right

of the key at 7:35. She followed it up with another
bomb 35 ticks later to give
the Musketeers a 43-38 edge.
Eventually, when Haley
Wittler put back a missed
front end of the bonus at
4:15, Jennings had its biggest lead of 47-41. With both
teams in foul trouble the
Musketeers lost senior Kylie
Jettinghoff (1:27) and senior
Jessie Young (35.9) to five
fouls the Wildcats were
within 47-45 as sophomore
Mikayla Bennett (6 markers
in the 4th period) hit two foul
shots at 2:14. The Musketeers
only hit 4-of-9 free throws in
the fourth (12-of-26 total for
46.2%) but the Wildcats were
only 2-of-14 in the same time
frame and 7-of-8 at the line
(15-of-19 total for 78.9%)
to not capitalize. A foul shot
by Wallenhorst at 1.0 ticks
gave the Musketeers the final
breathing room.
The key stat was the
Musketeers canned 18-of-36
fielders (5-of-12 downtown)
for 50 percent versus 16-of56 for the Red and White
(2-of-10 beyond the arc) for
28.6 percent.
Both teams were employing pressure defenses to try
and force tempo and get into
easier transition looks, forcing a combined 11 turnovers.
Jettinghoff picked up two
fouls within the first 2:58, one
of many to battle foul trouble throughout the game. The
teams matched shooting
6-of-13 and when Delphos
sophomore Macy Wallace (3
thefts) put in a basket at 2.1
ticks, that tied the score at 14.
Foul trouble deepened in
the second period, especially
for the Wildcats as five players were whistled for their
second fouls. The biggest
lead in the half came at 24-18
as Erin Eickholt (7 markers, 4
steals) took a coach-to-coast
rebound in for a layup at
43 ticks. The Wildcats put
together a 4-0 spurt, capped
by a Gorman foul shot at 1.2
ticks, to get within 24-22.

Lady Aces spoil Senior Wildcats

Night for Lincolnview
BY NICK JOHNSON

sports@timesbulletin.com
MIDDLE POINT- The

Lincolnview faithful said
good-bye to one senior on her
last home game of this season as the Lincolnview Lady
Lancers took on the Hicksville
Lady Aces on Saturday afternoon at the Barnyard.
The game was close early
but the Lady Aces pulled
away at the end as Hicksville
picked up the 59-41 victory.
The Lady Lancers jumped
out a 7-6 getting five points
from Katlyn Wendel including a 3-pointer. The Lady
Aces later then got five points
from Addie Bergman to help
Hicksville take a 13-9 lead in
the first quarter.
Lincolnview ended the
first period with a jumper
from Alena Looser to cut the
Hicksville lead to 13-11.
The Lady Aces opened the
second quarter with a Chelsey
Taylor foul shot and then got
three buckets from Bergman
to give Hicksville a 20-11
lead. The Lady Lancers got
a 3-pointer from Wendel followed by baskets from Kayla
Schimmoeller and another
basket from Wendel.
Wendel would knock
down a foul shot to bring the
first half score to 26-19 as the
Lady Aces went into halftime
up over the Lady Lancers.
Ashton Bowersock, the
lone Lincolnview senior,
opened the scoring in the third
quarter with a layup and, later
on, Schimmoeller got an easy
layup to cut the Hicksville
lead to 28-23.
The Lady Aces went on a
mini 7-0 run getting 3-pointers from Ashley Peter and
then a Bergman basket gave
Hicksville a 35-23 lead. The
Lady Lancers got a 3-pointer
from Alena Looser and three
points from Schimmoeller
to make the score 38-29,
Hicksville.
After a 3-point play from
Taylor give Hicksville a 43-31
lead, Lincolnview got another 3-pointer from Looser to
bring the third period score
to 43-34.
Hicksville jumped out
with an 8-0 run to start the
fourth quarter as Taylor
went 4-4 from the foul line
as Hicksville gained a 51-34
lead. The Lady Lancers
would get two points from
Frankie Carey and two points
from Maddie Gorman.

During
that
span,
Hicksville got six points from
Bergman to bring the score
to 57-38. The game ended
with a 3-pointer from Olivia
Gorman for Lincolnview and
two foul shots from Natalie
Briskey to give the Lady Aces
a 59-41 victory.
Ashton
Bowersocks
senior season probably didnt
turn out how she originally
thought it would play out when
she started her senior year of
high school. Bowersock tore
her ACL in the first week of
volleyball but she was able to
battle back at the end of the
basketball season.
Disappointing
we
couldnt get her a win. She
has worked very hard off the
court to get back here and be
able to play today. It wasnt
for a lack of effort on anyone
part but 22 (Abbie Bergman)
was a beast tonight we knew
she would be tough, and she
had a great game tonight. We
have been limiting our turnovers and we shot okay just
couldnt handle her in the
post today, said Lincolnview
coach Dan Williamson.
Last couple of game we
have been doing a good job of
rebounding. Today they were
able to get a lot of offensive
rebounds which led to second-chance points and more
fouls on our players. We had
some people out there in
spots that they dont normal
play. We were getting some
stop early on in the game and
working the ball on the offensive end to the place where
we want but we couldnt
knock down those shots. We
are improving and the scoreboard doesnt always show it
but we can see it as coaches,
finished coach Williamson.
Lincolnview drops to 5-16
on the season and Hicksville
improves to 11-7 on the year.

Lillian Wisner had 12, 24 turnovers and 18 fouls.
Jefferson totaled 34 boards (15 offensive) as Sarah Miller (8

We struggled with early turnovers and missed opportunities on easy shots. We have struggled finishing all season,
Hoffman added. We let their 3-point shooters get free too
much and that cost us. We gave up a big offensive rebound on
a free throw late. It was just an accumulation of little things that
added up to us losing today.

LadyCats send senior cagers out well

BY JIM METCALFE
KALIDA Six Kalida girls basketballers played their final home games
Saturday afternoon versus Putnam
County League foe Leipsic inside The
Wildcat Den.
They used defensive pressure to force
23 turnovers to fuel a 60-47 victory.
Brittany Kahle (13 markers - 3 treys),
Kylie Osterhage (9 markers, 8 boards,
3 steals), Allison Recker (8 counters,
4 boards, 4 assists), Joni Kaufman (8
points - 2 bombs), Cathy Basinger (4)
and Katelyn Siebeneck (4) had their
finale before the home folks.
You never know for sure how your
seniors will play on Senior Day: either
be too pumped up or nervous. I felt we
came out nervous but we settled down,
Kalida coach Adam Huber explained.
We felt we could cause them problems
with our defensive pressure. My high
school coach always stressed defense
and I get perturbed when we give up
easy baskets, like we did early. I am a
firm believer that you know the other
teams personnel and scouting reports
and if they score, dont let them do it
the way they want; we finally did that.
We got great balance today when they
focused so much on Brittany, Kylie and
Allison to a certain extent, even using a
triangle-and-2.
Leipsic head man Gary Kreinbrink
didnt want that to happen.
The difference was their role players
the ones you dont expect to be the
scorers stepped up and scored better
than usual. Thats what good teams do;
have others pick up the slack, he added.
Their defensive pressure wore us down
after we started so well. We got the
ball inside the first quarter and also hit
some perimeter shots early on but their
defense picked up. They took that away
from us, especially the second half; they
are known for good defense like that.

We know each other so well, it comes
down to execution.
Despite being on the road, the Lady
Vikings ( 12-9, 3-4 PCL) got off to a
hot start 8-of-13 shooting, with 6-2
junior Brooke Gerdeman (10 counters,
9 caroms) netting eight points inside
and Kierra Meyer (7 points, 5 assists)
five and 6-2 freshman Haley Heitmeyer
(8 markers, 7 rebounds) four. They led
by five points twice the last at 15-10
on a drive by Meyer at 53 ticks. When
Gerdeman laid in a lob at 2.1 ticks,
Leipsic led 17-14.
The LadyCats (15-5, 4-2 PCL)
who opened 5-of-15 caught fire,
especially from 3-land, and forced nine
turnovers basically with their man-toman pressure full- and half-court. With
Kara Siefker (10 markers) dropping in
two bombs, they shot 5-of-6 beyond
the arc (7-of-12 overall in the stanza)
and built up a 33-25 lead on a allalone basket by Sarah Klausing at 1:59.
Heitmeyer (1:15) and Heather Lammers
(17 counters - 4 triples - 6 boards) finished off her 11-point second-period
outburst with a transition triple from
the right corner at 48 ticks to reduce
Leipsics deficit to 33-30.
Mindy Ellerbrock (3 dimes) tied it
with a trifecta 35 ticks into the third
stanza. Cathy Basinger and Heitmeyer
traded baskets for the final tie before
Kahle buried a 3-ball from the right
wing at 5:30 to give the LadyCats the
lead for good, 38-35. Forcing nine more
errors, they pulled to a 45-37 advantage
as Kahle buried another bomb from
the key at 2:30. Once more, Leipsic
battled back with a 5-0 mini-spurt: a
3-point play by Lammers (2:16) and a
Gerdeman lob off an inbounds pass at
1:25; to get within 45-42.
Kalidas defense was at its best in the
fourth period, holding the Lady Vikes
to two fielders a 3-ball at 5:59 by
Lammers and a 15-footer by Ellerbrock
at 2:16. Kalida also forced the Vikings to

start fouling and hit 7-of-9 foul shots in
the stanza (11-of-13 total for 84.6%) to
pull away at the end.
Leipsic finished with the following: 19-of-44 shooting, 5-of-12 long
range, for 43.2 percent; 4-of-6 foul shots
(66.7%); with 32 boards (12 offensive);
and with 15 fouls
Kalida totaled 20-of-48 fielders,
9-of-22 behind the arc, for 41.7 percent;
grabbing 22 caroms (8 offensive); and
adding five miscues and 12 fouls.
Kalidas junior varsity team grabbed
a 29-21 victory.
Kalida visits Continental Thursday to
finish the regular season, while Leipsic
hosts Cory-Rawson in a BVC matchup.

David Bowie speaking
to graduating music students at Berklee College,
Massachusetts, in 1999 (BBC.
com):
Music, Its been both my
doorway of perception and the house that I live
in. I only hope that it embraces you with the
same lusty life force that it graciously offered
me. Thank you very much and remember, if it
itches, play it.

Not sure where you start and stop in
describing David Bowie. He was innovative,
influential, controversial, brilliant, a musical
kaleidoscope. Fellow artists start in with deep,
respectful commentary on the news of his
passing. Madonna on Bowie: David Bowie
changed the course of my life forever. He
was both masculine and feminine, funny and
serious, clever and wise. Justin Timberlake
on Bowie: Thank you for showing a pimple-faced, curly-mopped kid that DIFFERENT
was THE THING TO BE. Mick Jagger on

10 Valentines Day ideas Get SMART about taxes!

that wont break the
bankor the romance
BY NATHANIEL
SILLIN
Cant Buy Me Love
was a great song by Lennon
and McCartney and frankly,
a pretty good philosophy for
Valentines Day in general.
There really are ways to
enjoy a unique and memorable February 14 without
overspending. Here are 10
ideas to warm their heart and
spare your wallet:
Begin at the beginning.
Maybe your relationship
began at work, a party or
a bus stop. Returning to
that place and re-stage that
moment using little props can
re-capture memories.
Try a little due diligence.
Ask your significant other or
friend about his or her best
Valentines Day ever. Listen
for clues about gifts, activities
or places you might try. Dont
wait until 48 hours before the
holiday; you can always collect creative Valentines Day
ideas 365 days a year.
Stay near the stove. A fabulous dinner almost always
costs less at home. Plus,
its a more intimate setting
and shows dedication and
thought.
Deliver kindness, not
presents. Instead of wrapped
gifts, what about chores or
crafts? Focus on a gift based
on something you know how
to do rather than something
you could just buy.
If its a night out, do your
homework. Valentines Day

can be one of the most crowded and expensive nights to go
out. If you have a restaurant
or event in mind, research
everything you can about the
food, ambiance and specials
at various times of day particularly during early, fixedprice periods and slower days
of the week.
Grab those coupons, free
passes and points. Mileage,
restaurants and online discount clubs can offer a range
of options. Points can be used
for discounts or free nights
out on Valentines Day or
immediate dates. Decide
which offers are the best
deals and leverage them the
best that you can.
Consider substitutions and
alternatives. Why have that
glass of champagne or celebratory cocktail at the restaurant if theres a happy hour
nearby where you can save a
little money? Consider mixing and matching venues on a
night out to save money.
Declare a staycation. Visit
museums on half-price days
or out-of-the-way eateries
you always thought about trying. Even local hotels might
be a better deal than traveling
a greater distance.
You dont have to run
for the roses. A dozen roses
are a classic gift. But there
are potentially cheaper and
equally beautiful flower alternatives. If your loved one has
a green thumb, consider potted plants or seeds they can

sow later. Remember, spring
is right around the corner.
If you must bling, bling
responsibly. If this Valentines
Day involves a wedding
engagement or another grand
gesture of romance, plan well
in advance so you can get
advice on what youre buying
and ensure its in line with
your loved ones taste. Maybe
a relative with a beautiful
ring might offer it or sell it at
a friendly price.
Bottom line: Valentines
Day is about the people, not
the bill. A little time and creativity can help you devise a
memorable day without digging too far into savings.

Its that time of year again. Seems as
though were just coming up for air after
paying our holiday bills and boom, theres
Uncle Sam again at the front door with his
hand extended.
You cant escape income taxes, but by
knowing these facts you can be SMART
about them:
S Student loans. Is your child in
college? The maximum deductible interest
on a qualified student loan is $2,500 per
return, depending on your modified adjusted
gross income (MAGI) and your filing status.
Restrictions apply and can vary. For instance
there is no deduction if your MAGI exceeds
certain limits, if youre married but filing
separately, if you are claimed as a dependent
or if the loan is from a related party or a qualified employer plan.
M Mortgage interest. For most homeowners, mortgage interest is the largest
deduction they claim on their tax returns.
Typically, you can deduct 100% of the interest paid on your home loan (certain rules
apply).
A Annuity income. An annuity is a
series of payments that take place at certain
intervals over a specified period of time.
When you buy an annuity with money from
a taxable account, part of each annuity check
you receive is tax free because it represents
the return of your principal. The rest is taxable income. Annuities bought with tax-de-

R Retirement plan contributions. It
may be to your advantage to contribute as
much as you can to a retirement plan, especially if your employer has a matching program. With an employer-sponsored 401(k)
for instance, your contributions are made
before taxes are calculated on your pay, thus
reducing the amount of income taxes you
pay while youre employed. Distributions
are ultimately taxable. But in the long run,
you may pay less in taxes because your tax
rate may drop after you retire. An individual
retirement account, or IRA, is a personal savings plan that allows you to set aside money
for retirement while offering tax advantages.
You may be able to deduct some or all of the
contributions made to your IRA.
T Tax professionals. Confused? You
arent alone. More than 80% of Americans
file their taxes with the assistance of a professional or by using tax software.1 A trained,
certified tax professional can often identify
credits and deductions that you didnt know
about. A good way to find a tax professional is through the referral of a trusted
friend or relative. Thinking about retirement,
annuities or life insurance? Your Western

Risk Factors for Developing Heart Disease

Age. Aging increases your risk of damaged and narrowed arteries and weakened
or thickened heart muscle.
Sex. Men are generally at greater risk
of heart disease. However, womens risk
increases after menopause.
Family history. A family history of heart
disease increases your risk of coronary
artery disease, especially if a parent developed it at an early age .
Smoking. Nicotine constricts your
blood vessels, and carbon monoxide can
damage their inner lining, making them
more susceptible to atherosclerosis. Heart

attacks are more common in smokers than
in nonsmokers.
Poor diet. A diet thats high in fat, salt,
sugar and cholesterol can contribute to the
development of heart disease.
High blood pressure. Uncontrolled
high blood pressure can result in hardening
and thickening of your arteries, narrowing
the vessels through which blood flows.
High blood cholesterol levels. High
levels of cholesterol in your blood can increase the risk of formation of plaques and
Warning Signs of a Heart Attack

Some heart attacks are sudden and intense
the movie heart attack, where no one
doubts whats happening. But most heart
attacks start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Often people affected arent sure whats
wrong and wait too long before getting help.
Here are signs that can mean a heart attack is
happening:
Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks
involve discomfort
in the center of the
chest that lasts more
than a few minutes,
or that goes away
and comes back. It
can feel like uncomfortable pressure,
squeezing, fullness or
pain.
Discomfort in
other areas of the upper body. Symptoms
can include pain or discomfort in one or both
arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
Shortness of breath with or without
chest discomfort.
Other signs may include breaking out in a
cold sweat, nausea or light headedness.
As with men, womens most common heart

attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely
than men to experience some of the other
common symptoms, particularly shortness
of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw
pain.
Even if youre not sure its a heart attack,
have it checked out (tell a doctor about your
symptoms). Minutes
matter! Fast action can
save lives maybe
your own. Dont wait
more than five minutes
to call 9-1-1 or your
emergency response
number.
Calling 9-1-1 is almost always the fastest
way to get lifesaving
treatment. Emergency medical services (EMS)
staff can begin treatment when they arrive
up to an hour sooner than if someone gets to
the hospital by car. EMS staff are also trained
to revive someone whose heart has stopped.
It is best to call EMS for rapid transport to the
emergency room.

atherosclerosis.
Diabetes. Diabetes increases your risk
of heart disease. Both conditions share
similar risk factors, such as obesity and high
blood pressure.
Obesity. Excess weight typically worsens other risk factors.
Physical inactivity. Lack of exercise also is
associated with many forms of heart disease
and some of its other risk factors, as well.
Stress. Unrelieved stress may damage

your arteries and worsen other risk factors
for heart disease.
Poor hygiene. Not regularly washing
your hands and not establishing other
habits that can help prevent viral or bacterial infections can put you at risk of heart
infections, especially if you already have
an underlying heart condition. Poor dental
health also may contribute to heart disease.

Preventing Heart Disease

1. Get regular health screenings
High blood pressure and high cholesterol

can damage your heart and blood vessels.
Without testing for them, you probably wont
know whether you have these conditions.
Regular screenings can tell what your numbers
are and whether you need to take action.
2. Eat a heart-healthy diet
Eat a diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables,

whole grains and low-fat dairy products,
which can help protect your heart. Beans,

other low-fat sources of protein and certain
types of fish also can reduce your risk of
heart disease. Limiting certain fats you eat
also is important. Following a heart-healthy
diet also means drinking alcohol only in
moderation.
3. Exercise for 30 minutes on

most days of the week
Getting some regular, daily exercise can
reduce your risk of fatal heart disease. And

when you combine physical activity with
other lifestyle measures, such as maintaining a
healthy weight, the payoff is even greater.
4. Maintain a healthy weight
As you put on weight in adulthood, your

weight gain is mostly fat rather than muscle.
This excess weight can lead to conditions
that increase your chances of heart disease
high blood pressure, high cholesterol and
diabetes.
5. Dont smoke or use tobacco
Smoking or using tobacco is one of the most

significant risk factors for developing heart
disease. The good news, though, is that
when you quit smoking, your risk of heart
disease drops dramatically within just one
year. And no matter how long or how much
you smoked, youll start reaping rewards as
soon as you quit.

Trivia
Answers to last Saturdays questions:

The first president to host a menorah-lighting ceremony in the White House in celebration of Hanukkah was Bill Clinton, in 1993.
Human cannonballs fly through the air at 60-70 mph. No gunpowder is used to propel
them. These days, most are sent soaring by compressed air or springy bungee cords.
Todays questions:
Of all the U.S. cities with populations over a half-million, which has the greatest number of bicyclists per capita?
Who are the only two Broadway headliners to win Tony Awards for playing characters
of the opposite sex?
Answers in Saturdays Herald.
A young man asked an old rich man how he made his money.
The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest and said, Well, son, it was 1932. The
depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my last nickel. I invested that nickel in
an apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the
apple for ten cents.
The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples. I spent the entire day
polishing them and sold them for 20 cents. I continued this system for a month, by the
end of which Id accumulated a fortune of $1.37.
Then my wifes father died and left us two million dollars.
