By KAY LOUTHDHI Media Staff Writer

[email protected]

The annual health rankings for Ohio areout by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundationand for the third year in a row, PutnamCounty remains in the top three rankingsfor overall health in the state. Van Wert andAllen counties are not as positive but are farfrom the worst rankings.

The assessment shows the good andthe bad about the health of ourselvesand our neighbors. This assessment is

one of the tools local health depart-ments use to determine strengths andweaknesses.

There are two numbers in the rankingsto consider; Health Outcome, the length andquality of life; and Health Factors, whichare measured by behavior, social and eco-nomic factors. Putnam ranks third in bothnumbers. Van Wert County ranks 19th inhealth outcomes and 41 in behaviors. AllenCounty ranks 36 in health outcomes and 28in behaviors.

Reed denies motion todismiss in Edelbrock case

BY STEVEN COBURN-GRIFFISDHI Media Editor

[email protected]

LIMA — Jennifer Edelbrock appeared before Judge Jeffrey L. Reed in LimaCommon Pleas Court on Thursday. With a formal trial date set for Tuesday, the embat-

tled former accountant appeared in a last-minute pretrial coordinated by her attorney,John Grzybowski. On March 15, Grzybowski filed a motion to dismiss all charges,claiming that Edelbrock’s right to a speedy trial had been compromised.

With the motion, Grzbybowski argued that the State failed in its responsibility tobring Edelbrock to trial within the time period required by state law — 270 days.

“The tolling provisions that are in effect have been exceeded in this case and thatMiss Edelbrock, who was arrested on or about May 29, 2015…the 270 days necessaryto bring her to trial have been exceeded in this case,” Grzybowski argued.

Responding to Grzybowski’s statement, Allen County Assistant Prosecutor TerriKohlrieser asserted that tolling provisions — events that create a delay in the prosecu-tion of a case, such as evidentiary requests from the defense — and tacit agreementswith the defense allowed for an extension of the time allotted.

The crux of the State’s argument revolved around ongoing investigations into allegedcriminal activity on Edelbrock’s part and the fact that a trial date was originally set forJan. 5.

Genuine. Hilarious.Kind. Dedicated.C o m p a s s i o n a t e .Hardworking. Joyful.Those are just a few ofthe words Todd Nikolai’sfamily used to describehim.

Todd’s wife of sixyears, Wendy, said herhusband was a true giverwho loved helping hisneighbors, friends andfamily. People weredrawn to him becauseof his generous natureas well as his incrediblesense of humor, whichwas present during somescary medical issues.

Todd had his secondheart valve replacementa few months before hisdaughter, Carina, now8, was born. Just a halfhour after that procedure,he underwent emergencycoronary bypass surgery.Wendy said it was a mir-acle he survived that day,and it was his humorand determination to be agood father that got himthrough.

“He was driven bythe birth of his child tobe better and stronger.He wanted to be ableto hold the baby, so he

really worked throughhis health challengeswith that as an incen-tive,” Wendy said. “OnceCarina was born, he wasthe happiest Daddy. Hewas just enthralled withCarina.”

But on June 3, 2008,Wendy’s world came toa halt when her 40-year-old husband died from abrain hemorrhage.

Wendy remembersbeing approached byone of Life Connectionof Ohio’s procurementtransplant coordinatorsat Kettering Medical

Center. She was sur-prised to learn that evenwith Todd’s medical his-tory, it was still possi-ble for him to save livesthrough organ, eye andtissue donation.

After talking with therest of Todd’s family andensuring her Catholicfaith supported donation,Wendy made the deci-sion to let Todd’s giving

spirit live on in others.That day, Todd saved

three lives through organdonation and enhancedthe lives of more than60 others through tissuedonation.

“It was such an uplift-ing experience for me.Donating my husband’sorgans to give life to oth-ers lifted me through thegrief of his death. I feltblessed,” Wendy said.“It’s amazing to thinkthat a little bit of himgoes on and keeps otherpeople alive. Not all ofus can do that. It’s aprivilege.”

And a little bit ofhim is still with Wendyin the form of Carina.Carina exhibits Todd’smannerisms and looks

like him, too. Carina hassome memories of Todd,mostly from the last sixmonths of his life.

“Todd had a brainhemorrhage six monthsbefore he died, but hesurvived that. I honest-ly believe he was sup-posed to go then, butGod gave us an extra sixmonths, and because ofthat, Carina remembersher Daddy,” Wendy said.

A few months afterTodd passed away,Wendy and Carinawere eating pizza withWendy’s sister, Kathy,

and her future husband,Liam. Liam folded thecrust of his pizza beforehe ate it, and Carina “gin-gerly touched Liam’sarm and said softly, ‘MyDaddy used to eat hispizza that way.’” Carinaalso remembers doinganimal-themed jigsawpuzzles with her dad.

W i s e - b e y o n d - h e r -years Carina is veryproud of her father.

“About a year ago, wewere praying at night,and Carina said some-thing amazing,” Wendysaid. “She told me, ‘I

miss my Daddy, butDaddy is helping otherpeople live.’”

Paws to Consider

Are you hungry to learn about cat behavior and aggression?

BY BONNIE JONES, DVM

If you love cats as much as I do,you may occasionally wonder whythey behave the way they do. I, forone, am intrigued by their manypersonalities and behaviors that Iwitness at home and work. Becauseveterinarians are often askedto address cat behavior issues, I

thought I would expound on a fewof the more common ones.Most know I have a reputation as

the “Diet Doctor.” When I informcat owners that “Tommy” is tubby,the frequent reply is that their catis a tyrant when it comes to food.Fat cats seeking food will literallycontrol their “staff” with obnoxiousvocalizations. Some cats tenderlypaw their owner’s faces or walkacross their heads while they sleep,acting as alarm clocks to order uptheir breakfast. Other cats will go sofar as to wrap their front legs aroundtheir humans’ legs whenever theyapproach the cat’s feeding station.

To address these annoyingbehaviors and perceived constant

hunger, give your cat consistencyin its feeding routine and stick to it!Remember that cats are “grazers.”In the wild, they must hunt for food

to survive. That survival is based onsmall, frequent meals of prey. Tomimic this, feed your cat more thantwice daily, and always at the sametimes of day.

Pre-measure an appropriate 24-hour allotment of food for your catand divide it into three to five meals.By giving your cat predictable mealtimes, it will feel more secure, and

even meet you at the feeding stationwhen its biologic tummy clock tellshim it is appropriate. Be sure to plana bedtime feeding for cats that bang

on bedroom doors at night or actlike morning alarm clocks.

Besides food-seeking felines,cat owners express concern aboutcat aggression that can take onthree forms. The first, “misguid-ed aggression,” occurs when someevent stresses a cat. That cat thenimmediately turns on whatever orwhoever is closest, instead of the

actual target or source of the stress.For example, if your cat sees a straycat outside your window while afellow housecat is sitting next tohim, that housemate may find itselfthe victim of a sudden attack. Thismisguided aggression may then berepeated between those two catsfrom that point forward.

Next is “inter-cat aggression.”This form of aggression is moretypical when a new cat is introducedinto the household and, either thenew cat tries to take over by pick-ing on submissive cats in the home,or pre-existing cats may choose toattack the “newbie.” Both misguid-ed and inter-cat aggression can bedifficult to impossible to eliminate

so you should seek your veterinari-an’s advice on management of thesepotentially dangerous situations.

Methods to manage these aggres-

sive behaviors may include drugtherapy for the aggressor, includingfluoxetine (generic Prozac), clo-mipramine and amitriptyline. Yourveterinarian may suggest that youhave the cats do pleasant thingstogether such as dine in the sameroom at a distance, then graduallydecrease the space between the twocats at meal times. Artificial phero-

mones (aerosolized cat chemicals)distributed via diffusers, wipes andsprays may be used as well in theenvironment and on the cats tocreate a calming response similar tolavender for humans.

Please note these two forms ofaggression may not ever be entirelyeliminated. Sometimes one cat willneed to be re-homed or the cats mayneed to live separately at all timeswithin the home to keep the peace.

The third form of feline aggres-sion occurs when family cats stalkand “sneak attack” their humans.This behavior stems from a stronginstinctual prey drive… and bore-dom. Cat owners describe thesecats as lying in waiting in concealed

places, then pouncing on familymembers’ legs as they pass by.Some of these cats latch on withteeth as well as toenails, resulting

in great bodily harm to their lovedones.

Cats carrying out this form ofaggression need jobs, indoors oroutside. I recommend hiding theirfood and toys to make them huntfor a living when indoors. Becausethis situation is potentially verydangerous to people, spending atleast some time outdoors to exercise

and release aggression would helptremendously.These are only a few cat behav-

iors that veterinarians are asked toaddress. Many more exist, includ-ing over-grooming and inappropri-ate eliminations (a problem thatwarrants an entire column of itsown!). Don’t let your cat’s behaviorruin quality of life for you or fellowhousecats. Seek your veterinarian’sadvice! The sooner these behaviorsare diagnosed and treated, the morelikely they are to be resolved.

Lovina writes down her huge recipefor canned vegetable soup

BY LOVINA EICHER

We’re having another warm day with thetemperature in the mid sixties. Yesterdaywas even warmer plus it was also sunny.We did laundry and hung it all outside onthe lines. By the afternoon hours everything

was dry. It sure gives a person spring fever.It was so good to be able to wash, dry, andfold clothes in one day and have it all putaway. We had an extra huge laundry as wewashed some bedding, coats, etc.

Today it is cloudy and no sun but it isstill nice to be able to have a few windowsopen. So nice to smellthe fresh air blowing in.

Susan’s friend Mosecame last night to cookdown some more sapinto maple syrup. Sinceit has warmed up again,the sap is really runningfrom the maple trees.

Son Joseph, 13, isnow getting aroundwithout crutches. Hestill favors the leg and itstill gets painful if he overdoes it. He walkswith a limp but is back to milking our cowBessie every morning and evening.

Son-in-law Timothy is still not allowedto put weight on his foot. It is improv-ing more every day, but he is so ready towalk without the aid of crutches. DaughterElizabeth had plans to come spend the dayhere but Timothy ended up being sick thismorning so she stayed home with him. Sheplans to come tomorrow, which I alwayslook forward to. I didn’t see her since lastFriday so we have lots of visiting to catchup on. Daughter Lovina, 11, spent the week-end with Timothy and Elizabeth helping outwherever needed. She loves spending timeover there.

Saturday we helped sister Emma andJacob butcher two hogs. We were done earlyin the afternoon. The hogs were smallerthan ours so things went a little faster. Ponhoss was made and lard rendered. We hadbreakfast pizza for breakfast, along withchocolate chip bars, jello cake, and peanutbutter pies.

For lunch the menu consisted of friedpork tenderloin, mashed potatoes, gravy,dressing, corn, macaroni salad, celery andcarrot sticks, sliced cheese, tomato slices,and jalapeños that sisters Verena and Susanbrought home from Florida. The dessertsleft over from breakfast were also on themenu plus ice cream.

My sisters had a nice time in Florida.Glad they are back home.

Saturday afternoon as Mose was bottlingthe maple syrup, some enjoyed ice creamwith maple syrup as a topping. I didn’t try it

but the ones that did really liked it.Daughter Verena spent the weekend in a

community in Indiana at a friend’s house.With Verena and Lovina both not home, thehouse seemed empty.

Sunday afternoon we had Joe’s cousinLeander, wife Rosina, and family as our vis-itors. We enjoyed popcorn while we visited.The Leanders have four married sons andone lives only a few miles from us. Theyhad supper with their son Leander and wifeKaren.

We spent the day just at home relaxing.With my husband Joe working every otherSaturday and butchering in between on

Saturday, we were glad to rest.I would like to express my thanks to

Carol for the gift certificate from RidgewayBooks. I am enjoying some new books that Ialways wanted to purchase. May God blessyou for your kindness!

These changes were presented to the Ohio Wildlife Council at Wednesday’smeeting. The council will vote on these amended proposals and all other fishand wildlife proposals at their next meeting, according to the Ohio Departmentof Natural Resources (ODNR).

The newly proposed 2-day gun season dates are Saturday and Sunday,Dec. 17-18, rather than the originally proposed Wednesday and Thursday, Dec.28-29. The newly proposed dates for muzzleloader season are Jan. 7-10, 2017,one week earlier than originally proposed.

Public input collected over the last two months from a variety of constitu-ents indicated that more people preferred the 2-day season the weekend beforeChristmas and the muzzleloader season during the first weekend in January.

An adjustment to the dove season was also proposed. The opening day forthe second split has been proposed to be Saturday, Dec. 17, two days later thanthe original proposal of Dec. 15, in order to comply with federal regulationsfor season lengths.

Big Ten Spring Football Preview/Power RankingsBy Steven Lassan

Athlon Sports

Ohio State and Michiganenter 2016 as the frontrunnersto win the Big Ten title, but bo thteams enter spring practice withplenty of work to do.

The Buckeyes return quar-terback J.T. Barrett and a fewrising stars on defense. However,only six starters are back forcoach Urban Meyer. The skillplayers need to be restocked andthe defense has to reload in thetrenches and in the secondary.

The Wolverines are loaded ondefense and at the skill positionsbut can a clear answer emerge atquarterback?

The only storylines in theBig Ten this spring aren’t justfrom Ohio State and Michigan,as there’s a rebuilding effortunderway at Michigan State onoffense, Iowa is looking to fillin the necessary pieces to winthe Big Ten West again, whileNebraska hopes to take a stepforward in coach Mike Riley’s

second season.Spring practice is set to beginaround the nation for all 128teams over the next few weeks

Here’s a look at the biggestquestions facing the 14 teams inthe Big Ten this spring:

East Division Indiana2015 Record: 6-7, 2-6 Big TenReturning Starters: Offense: 6,

Defense: 7Top Priority in Spring Practice:

Finding Nate Sudfeld’s ReplacementQuarterback Nate Sudfeld fin-

ished his career in Bloomington asone of the most prolific passers inschool history. The battle to replaceSudfeld begins this spring and juniorcollege recruit Richard Lagow is the

early favorite with Zander Diamontsidelined due to offseason surgery.Lagow threw for 2,285 yards and21 scores at the junior college levellast season and also spent time inhis career at UConn and OklahomaState. With Diamont sidelined,Lagow will have a chance to stamphis place at the top of the depth chart.If he can’t, Austin King and DannyCameron are the next options in themix this spring. Another storyline towatch for Indiana is the transitionon defense to new coordinator TomAllen.

Maryland 2015 Record: 3-9, 1-7 Big TenStarters: Offense: 4, Defense: 5Top Priority: Quarterback PlayIt’s no secret Maryland’s quar-

terback play was a major issue lastseason. Four different signal-callersreceived snaps and combined for 29picks and a sluggish 47.2 completionpercentage. Needless to say, newcoordinator Walt Bell has his handsfull this spring. Perry Hills passedfor 1,001 yards and eight scores lastseason and added 535 yards andthree touchdowns on the ground.He’s the frontrunner to take the firstsnap, but Caleb Rowe, Gage Shafferand Shane Cockerille will push fortime in the spring. True freshmanTyrrell Pigrome arrives this summer

and is a name to watch in the fall. Michigan2015 Record: 10-3, 6-2 Big TenStarters: Offense: 8, Defense: 6Top Priority: Quarterback PlayThe linebacking corps is anoth-

er unit to watch in spring practicebut it’s safe to assume all eyes inAnn Arbor will be on the quarter-backs. Jake Rudock’s 1-year stintat Michigan resulted in a 3,000-yard (3,017) season and the Iowatransfer leaves big shoes to fill.Houston transfer John O’Korn is thefrontrunner but freshman BrandonPeters, Wilton Speight, Shane Morrisand Alex Malzone will push forsnaps. How quickly will coach JimHarbaugh find the right answer?

Michigan State

2015 Record: 12-2, 7-1 Big TenStarters: Offense: 4, Defense: 5Top Priority: Filling the Voids

on OffenseWith only nine returning starters

this spring, both sides of the ball aregoing to receive plenty of attentionin East Lansing. While the defensehas personnel losses at each level,the needs are greater on the otherside of the ball. Quarterback ConnorCook expired his eligibility, leavingDamion Terry and Tyler O’Connoras the top candidates vying for timethis spring. The offensive line losesstandouts Jack Conklin (LT) andJack Allen (C) and two of the topreceivers – Aaron Burbridge andMacgarrett Kings – also expired theireligibility. The cupboard isn’t barebut it will take some time for the newpieces to fall into place for coachMark Dantonio.

Ohio State2015 Record: 12-1, 7-1 Big TenStarters: Offense: 3, Defense: 3Top Priority: Restocking the

Skill PositionsIt’s hard to mention just one

position in this space. The Buckeyesreturn only six starters for 2016and lose several key pieces on bothsides of the ball. Quarterback J.T.Barrett is the unquestioned No. 1quarterback headed into spring ball

but the supporting cast is filled withuncertainty. Who replaces EzekielElliott at running back? SeniorBri’onte Dunn, junior Curtis Samueland freshmen Antonio Williams andMike Weber will battle for snaps inthe spring. Michael Thomas, JalinMarshall and Braxton Miller departfrom the receiving corps, whichleaves Noah Brown and Corey Smithas the likely go-to targets in 2016.However, the Buckeyes need morethan just Brown and Smith. Truefreshman Austin Mack is a nameto watch. Talent isn’t an issue butMeyer and his offensive staff needtime to restock the weapons aroundBarrett.

Penn State2015 Record: 7-6, 4-4 Big Ten

Starters: Offense: 9, Defense: 5Top Priority: Offensive LineIt may seem like a broken record

but the offensive line is once again ahuge issue for Penn State. This unithas a new coach in former Minnesotaassistant Matt Limegrover and he’stasked with improving a group that’sallowed 83 sacks over the last twoyears. The good news? The talentand depth have improved undercoach James Franklin. Four startersreturn and two freshmen – AlexGellerstedt and Connor McGovern – enrolled in time to compete thisspring. In addition to this group,keep an eye on the defensive line andTrace McSorley’s first opportunity towin the starting quarterback spot inspring practice.

Rutgers2015 Record: 4-8, 1-7 Big TenStarters: Offense: 8, Defense: 7Top Priority: Transition to the

New Staff The Scarlet Knights hit the reset

button after a 4-8 record last season.Kyle Flood was fired and Ohio Stateassistant Chris Ash was hired asthe program’s new coach. Ash wasa solid hire for Rutgers but this ishis first opportunity to be a headcoach at the FBS level. Additionally,he’s inheriting a team in need ofsignificant work on both sides of

the ball. The offense averaged only21.3 points a game (conference-on-ly matchups) last year and entersspring with a quarterback battle onits hands. Additionally, top receiverLeonte Carroo must be replaced andthe offensive line has to improveafter surrendering 25 sacks last year.Seven starters are back on defensebut this unit gave up 34.9 pointsa game last season and struggledto stop the pass. How much of adifference will Ash make in oneoffseason?

Lancers pull away from Tigers in D-IV semisBY JOHN PARENTDHI Media Regional

Sports [email protected]

COLUMBUS -Lincolnview used a 13-1 runto break open what had beena 30-30 game late in the thirdquarter and pulled away latefor a 52-39 win over JacksonCenter in the Division IVState Semifinals on Fridayafternoon at Value City Arenain Columbus.

The Lancers (27-1) willplay Willoughby Cornerstone

for the state championship onSaturday afternoon.“We knew Jackson Center

was going to be a toughopponent; they were 24-4 fora reason,” Lincolnview headcoach Brett Hammons said.“I thought our guys battled;we weren’t the greatest in thefirst half, but we came out inthe second half and executeda little better and made someshots.”

Lincolnview connect-ed on 10 of 15 (67 percent)of its second-half field goaltries and outscored JacksonCenter 31-18 after halftime.The Tigers were held to just6-for-22 (27 percent) in thefinal 16 minutes of action.

“Just like it has in the first26 games that we’ve won,our defense hung tough andwas able to pull through andget us the win,” Hammonssaid.

“Lincolnview was whatthey were billed to be,”

Jackson Center head coachScott Elchert said. “They arean extremely good defensiveteam; they challenged us onevery shot, whether it was aperimeter jumper or a shotinside.”

With the score knottedat 30-30 and time windingdown in the third quarter,Hammons opted to play fora last shot. The ball found itsway to senior Trevor Neate,who pulled up from 17 feetand drilled a jumper at thehorn for a 32-30 lead.

“We got out to that lead

(26-21) in the third quarterand they were able to bat-tle back,” Hammons said.“That’s the first time in awhile we have executedat the end of a quarter andTrevor was able to get rightto where he likes to pull upand shoot, and with his lengthand height, he was able to getthat shot off. I think that gaveus momentum going into thefourth quarter.

It didn’t take long forthe Lancers to seize controlof the game. Just 15 sec-onds into the fourth, DerekYoutsey took a feed fromChandler Adams in the cor-

ner and drilled a 3-pointer fora 35-30 lead.“That was a big momen-

tum swing,” Elchert said.“Not so much maybe thatthey hit the last shot of thequarter, but they came rightback out and got the (3-point-er) on us. We just didn’t

recover from that point on.”A pair of Adams free

throws, his bucket in the lowpost and hoops by HaydenLudwig and Youtsey putLincolnview ahead 43-31and all but sealed the game.Jackson Center clawed backto within six with 2:17 left,but Lincolnview made 7 of 8free throws down the stretchto seal the win.

Adams led three Lancersin double figure, finish-ing with 14 points and sixrebounds as the Lancers out-boarded the Tigers 27-19.

Youtsey added 12 points andsix boards while Austin Leethprovided 10 points, includinga pair of 3-point field goals inthe second quarter.

On the other end of thecourt, Leeth drew the defen-sive assignment on DrewSosby, Jackson Center’ssenior guard who averag-es 19.5 points per game.Sosby was a first-team all-state selection and a D-IVCo-Player of the Year. Leethharassed the Tiger leader intomissing 14 of his first 15shots before a pair of bucketsin the fourth quarter broughthim to a 7-point output.

“He’s the guy we alwaysput on every team’s best play-er, as long as it’s a guard,”Hammons said. “We’vebeen razzing him becausethe last couple of games helet (Connor) Lautzenheisergo off for 36 (points) andhe let the kid from St. Pete

(Jared Jakubick) have 20, sowe congratulated him therein the locker room that heheld a Division IV Player ofthe Year to seven points. Ithought he did an outstanding

job on him.”The Tigers (24-5) were

led by 6-6 junior BradyWildermuth, who finishedwith a game-high 20 pointsin the loss. Jackson Center

was held to 33 percentshooting for the game whileLincolnview connected at a58-percent clip.

Cornerstone’s Bothwell presentsone final challenge for Lincolnview

BY JOHN PARENT

DHI Media Regional Sports [email protected]

COLUMBUS — All that standsbetween Lincolnview and its first statetitle since 1997 is a a 12-loss team whichis led by a sophomore.

Michael Bothwell isn’t just anysophomore, however. The lefty scored30 points on 8-for-13 shooting duringWilloughby Cornerstone Christian’s73-67 win over Columbus Wellington onFriday morning in the first Division IVState Semifinal, capping a 3-game runthat has seen Bothwell average almost34 points per game.

“They are going to be a challenge,”Lincolnview head coach Brett Hammonssaid of facing the Patriots this afternoon.

“The style that they play is different thanours.”Cornerstone has three players who

average more than 10 points per game,including Bothwell, who scored 20points per game during the regular sea-son.

Austin Leeth is likely to draw the

initial defensive assignment on Bothwell

after the Lancer senior held Drew Sosbyto 7 points on 3-for-19 shooting onFriday afternoon. Bothwell’s explosivescoring ability makes it unlikely that oneplayer can handle him, however.

“It’s going to take an entire teameffort to try to contain him and stophim,” Hammons said.

While the Lancers have had successthis season when pushing the pace,Hammons notes that Cornerstone mightlack the size to compete with the Lancersin the half court.

“I think we have the length and somesize to get the ball down low,” Hammonssaid. “We’re going to continue to try toplay to our strengths because that’s whathas gotten us to the state championshipgame.”

If the Lancers are to win on Saturday,taking care of the ball will be a key.“They get up and press full-court,

they run and jump, throw multiple full-court traps at you, they’ll play a half-court zone some; it’s going to be achallenge,” Hammons said.

The Lancers have been getting

healthy lately, with senior Trevor Neate

continuing to play his way through afoot injury that cost him time down thestretch this year. Neate scored 12 pointsin the Lancers’ 52-39 semifinal win overJackson Center.

“Trevor Neate was huge for us,”Hammons said. “He’s almost back to100 percent. Today is probably the bestperformance he’s had for a while.”

Junior Brandon McQueen averages10.5 points per game for Cornerstoneand scored 20 points off the bench onFriday. Neate started the first 20 gamesof the year for the Lancers before suffer-ing his foot injury and has been comingoff the bench since his return. With justone game left to play, Hammons saysNeate can provide the same type ofspark as a reserve that McQueen does

for the Patriots.“When you can bring a guy off thebench like that, that can provide a sparkthe way he can, we’re going to take it,”Hammons said. “To his credit, he hasaccepted that role since he’s come back;he’s been great.”

The game tips off at 5:15 p.m. today.

Top Priority in Spring Practice:Getting Defensive

Lovie Smith’s first spring inChampaign is all about buildingrelationships and getting familiarwith his new team. This is Smith’sfirst job in the collegiate ranks since1995, so there’s going to be plenty oftransition and kinks to work throughon both sides. Smith has a strongtrack record on defense and that’s ahuge area of need for the FightingIllini with just four returning starters.Each level was hit hard by departuresand this unit also suffered anotherblow via the transfer route when T.J.Neal departed to Auburn. Illinois hasa few issues to address on offense butquarterback Wes Lunt and receiverMike Dudek are a good duo to buildaround. How quickly will the playersadapt to Smith and transition to thenew schemes?

Iowa

2015 Record: 12-2, 8-0 Big TenStarters: Offense: 5, Defense: 8Top Priority in Spring Practice:

Finding Playmakers at ReceiverThe Hawkeyes are in good

shape for another run at a Big TenWest Division title but there are afew areas for coach Kirk Ferentzto address in spring workouts.Quarterback C.J. Beathard is one ofthe top signal-callers in the Big Tenbut his receiving corps was hit bydepartures. Leading receiver MattVandeBerg is back, while receiv-ers Tevaun Smith (32 catches) andJacob Hillyer (16 catches) and tightend Henry Krieger Coble (35 grabs)expired their eligibility. That’s 83 ofthe team’s 227 receptions from lastseason and that number grows to 103if you count the departure of runningback Jordan Canzeri. In additionto leaning more on VandeBerg, thecoaching staff will be looking formore from Jerminic Smith, Riley

McCarron and Jay Scheel. Who stepsup at receiver and tight end thisspring?

Minnesota


Adjusting to the New OffenseMinnesota’s revamped secondary

deserves a mention here but the big-gest spring storyline in Minneapolisis the offense. The Golden Gophershave finished 11th or worse in theBig Ten in scoring offense in twoout of the last three years. Newcoordinator Jay Johnson has to getmore out of this group but thereare pieces to build around in 2016.Quarterback Mitch Leidner returnsafter throwing for 2,701 yards and

14 scores last season and running

back Shannon Brooks is back aftera promising freshman campaign.Leidner will be limited this springdue to surgery. Receiver is an areaof focus for Johnson after KJ Mayeexpired his eligibility (73 catchesin 2015). Drew Wolitarsky and tightend Brandon Lingen are back butthe Golden Gophers will be look-ing for more out of Eric Carter andRashad Still. The offensive line alsofeatures some uncertainty and thecoaching staff will be keeping aclose eye on the progress of juniorcollege recruits Vincent Calhoun andGarrison Wright this spring.

Nebraska


Line of ScrimmageThe progression of quarterback

Tommy Armstrong is a key sto-ryline to monitor out of Lincoln butNebraska won’t take a step forward

without retooling in the trenches.The Cornhuskers lose three start-ers on the offensive line and mustreplace three on the defensive side.Left tackle Alex Lewis and centerRyne Reeves leave big shoes to fillbut the losses are even heavier ondefense. Tackles Maliek Collins andVincent Valentine left early for theNFL and end Jack Gangwish expiredhis eligibility. Will the Cornhuskersfinish spring with answers on bothsides of the ball?

Northwestern


The Passing GameDefense and a strong ground

attack led Northwestern to a 10-3mark last season. But even with 13starters back this spring, the Wildcatswill need more out of the passingattack to push for 10 wins onceagain. Quarterback Clayton Thorson

threw for 1,522 yards and sevenscores and rushed for 397 yards andfive touchdowns in his first year asthe starter. He’s expected to takea step forward this spring but thesupporting cast at receiver has itsshare of question marks. Dan Vitale(33 catches), Christian Jones (23)and Miles Shuler (15) expired theireligibility. Austin Carr (16 catch-es) and running back Justin Jackson(21) are the top returning targets.Northwestern needs more out ofThorson and the receiving corps.

Purdue


David Blough’s DevelopmentThere are several areas requiring

attention for coach Darrell Hazell this

spring but David Blough’s develop-ment is critical for the Boilermakersto have any shot at finding improve-ment in the win column next sea-son. Blough had his share of upsand downs as a freshman last year

and finished the year by throwing

for 1,574 yards and 10 touchdowns.New QB Terry Malone has to getBlough to take the next step, as wellas generate more big plays from apassing attack that generated only 28plays of 20 or more yards last year.

BOWLING

(Continued from page 6)

Adams had 6 points in the opening minutes of the game,attacking the basket both from the post and off the dribble.

“We knew we had to attack down. When we get the balldown low, it’s what we do best,” Adams said. “We knew if wecould get Wildermuth in foul trouble it would help us out alot. He didn’t get in foul trouble but we still attacked and dida heck of a job.”

Jackson Center’s largest lead came at 17-12 when freshman

Trent Platfoot hit the second of his two 3-pointers. From there,an 8-0 Lancer run, highlighted by consecutive 3-pointers byLeeth, put Lincolnview back on top.

“He hit two huge threes to keep us in the game when wewere struggling,” Hammons said of Leeth’s long-range accura-cy. “I couldn’t be more proud of him. A lot of people talk aboutour other four starters, but he’s key. If he’s not part of our team,we wouldn’t be here.”

The Value of Fasting

“When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disgure

their faces to show others they are fasting.”

Matthew 6: 16

PUTNAM COUNTY

There are lots of good reasons to limit our intake of food, ranging from health and nan-

cial reasons to emotional and spiritual benets. An ancient idea that has recently gained

traction is the practice of fasting. Instead of trying to limit one’s calories each and every day,

some scientists are proposing the idea of Alternate-Day Fasting or ADF. ADF regimens typ-

ically allow the person (or animal, lots of experiments have been done using rats and mice)

to eat whatever he or she wants one day and then requires them to fast or consume a very

limited number of calories the next day. More research needs to be done, but preliminary

ndings are promising, suggesting that ADF may reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease

and even cancer. Some are even suggesting we could live longer if we followed an ADFregimen. But, how might such a regimen benet us emotionally and spiritually? Fasting and

self-mortication can obviously be taken to extremes where they become unhealthy and

even life-threatening. But, most of us suffer from the opposite problem: we are too self-in-

dulgent. Delayed gratication and a sense of accomplishment is one of the byproducts of a

successful fast. Eating can bring momentary pleasure but controlling one’s appetites gives

a deeper sense of lasting joy.
