She will recite all 3 poems again to compete against the 8 other top reciters in the nation.

MARSHALL COUNTY — Preparations are under way for what may turn out to be one of the most interesting municipal elections in the county. As the May 5 primary for both Plymouth and Bremen city positions draws near, the Marshall County Clerk’s Office has been patiently and steadily working away at what they need to have done before that 6 a.m. door swings open at polling sites. Voting will take place from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Voting will take place at three poll locations. In order to vote, potential voters must have a photo I.D. with them. “It can be an expired photo I.D., but the expiration date has to be after November 4, 2014, the date of the last general election,” said Donna Pontius, recording secretary for the Election Board. “It can’t be expired more than six months.” The National Guard Armory, located at 1220 W. Madison Street, and the Knights of Columbus Hall, at 901 E. Jefferson Street, are the two locations for voting in the Plymouth municipal elections. In Bremen, voting will be held at Bremen High School, 511 W. Grant Street in Bremen. Election school takes place at the Commissioner’s Meeting Room on the second floor of the Marshall County Building. It is here that poll workers will receive their instructions and tasks before the big day. Inspectors, judges, and sheriffs will assigned and learn their duties to ensure a smooth voting experience for all who walk through the polling doors. Judges operate the voting machines, clerks check I.D.s in the poll books and ensure that voters are who they say they are, and sheriffs greet voters at the door while keeping the peace. During her regular weekly work to prepare, Pontius and others will pack the inspector bags, which will have everything that they will need for the election. Maps, signs, precinct maps, instructions for voting, casting ballots, provisional and emergency ballots, tally sheets, voting cards, and all the forms the inspector may need are contained in their kit. Poll books will be printed this week on Thursday and Friday. “When we get the electronic boll book it will be so much better. We will save trees, and its the green way to go,” said Pontius See Election, page A3 Old Clark Station and new wheel tax discussed by Common Council By Rachael heRBeRt-VaRchetto Staff Writer PLYMOUTH — Old ground was retread concerning the Clark station in the town of Plymouth at the April 27 Common Council meeting. During council member reports, Mike Delp inquired what the current status of the Clark Station was. During the past year, including most recently at the February 9 meeting of the Common Council, owner Michael Iqbal had appeared to give an update that all repairs on his building had been completed minus the windows. Due to condensation, further work had been halted. It was noted that more recent changes to the property have included stone being laid in place of a driveway. Iqbal is required to have a parking lot paved within one year of the business being opened, regardless of who owns the property, according to council members. “I think we need to give him a deadline and step it up, I think this has been going on for a year now and I think it’s time we stepped up and did something,” said Mayor Mark Senter. “It’s time to make something happen there. If it’s not, then we need to take further action,” said Council Member Learning through play Pilot Photo/ Jennifer Brittin Riverside fifth graders in the Innovation Academy wrote and produced a play about the Revolutionary War as part of the curriculum in their Project-Based Learning classes. Students invited parents and family to come and see the efforts of all their hard work as they performed in “A Fight for Freedom” Tuesday evening.

The Plymouth Board of Public Works and Safety were offered recommendations on three bids for city projects at their April 27 Office hours Weekdays 8-5 936-3101 1-800-933-0356 [email protected] Sports: 936-3104 [email protected] meeting. In division one, Thieneman Construction was selected for the Ledyard Water Treatment Plant project, rounding out at $3,132 million even. Three deductions and an increase for additional paving will not be accepted, however projects for the base bid of putting in new offices, a conference room, and a locker room will be left in. The water main extension project, division two, was awarded to Haskins Underground at $439,607. The project came in at $70,000 to $80,000 under the projected budget. Division three, concerning the Ledyard Water Treatment Plant storage building, was awarded to Michiana Contractors at $251,380. It was slightly over the engineer’s estimate at $245,000. The total of the project would be $3,937,987 with a three percent contingency. The board approved the project tentatively on the basis that prices do not change or increase. Quotes were then opened for the Waste Water furnace and A/C unit for the old administration building. Peregrine Heating and Cooling bid for $11,981. Company Bowen Tinshop Inc. set a bid for $6,825. After reading the bids, the board moved to take them under advisement until a later date. City Attorney Sean Surrisi pre- sented resolution 2015-655. The resolution would transfer a motor vehicle to the Board of Aviation Commissioners (BOAC) for $4,000. The vehicle comes from the police department as a replacement for the courtesy vehicles the airport lets out to pilots who come in. The resolution was passed, with Surrisi stating that it will be up to the BOAC to then pass it before the vehicle is transferred over. %(+,1'(9(5<352-(&7,6$ 1920 N.

Coury April 18, 1922 – April 27, 2015 PLYMOUTH — Dorothy Winters Coury, loving wife of Joseph F. Coury passed away peacefully at home on April 27, 2015 surrounded by her husband and loving family. Dorothy was born on April 18, 1922 in Wheeling, W.Va. She graduated from Triadelphia High School and Elliot Commercial College in Wheeling, W.Va. She married Joseph F. Coury in Boston, Mass. on April 29, 1944. They lived in Maine, Virginia, South Carolina, California, Florida, Illinois, and Indiana. They retired in Plymouth and Fort Myers, Fla. in 1985. She is survived by her husband Joe, married for 70 years and 363 days, daughters Susan Jerutis, Mary Gifford, (Ron), Patty Kucera, (Gerry), grandchildren, Jennifer Jerutis (John Ore), Megan Leyes, (Brian), Sarah Jerutis, (Tim Escudier), Jason Jerutis, (Lindsay), Geoff Gifford, Ben Ostrander, (Claire), Adam Gifford, (Nora), Peter Ostrander, (Kaitlyn) and Sam Ostrander. Great-grandchildren, Margaret Leyes, Matthew Leyes, Diego Gifford, Molly Leyes, Eliana Gifford, Teddy Escudier, Veronica Ore, Eleanor Jerutis, Auggie Escudier, Amelia Gifford, Frankie Ostrander, Elizabeth Jerutis, Rosa Ore, Hennessy Gifford and Lucy Ostrander. Dorothy was preceded in death by her father, Guy Herbert Winters, mother Elizabeth Jane Rodecker Winters, sister Eleanor Lee Weisner, and son-in-law Ronald Jerutis. In addition to her loving family of children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, Dorothy was an accomplished artist. Painting, needlework, reading and gardening were among her many interests. She loved playing golf with the 18 holers and was recognized in Golf Magazine for her hole in one at St. Charles Country Club in St. Charles, Ill. Her daughters remember her for her wonderful cooking and baking skills. She enjoyed having lunch with her daughters in Geneva, Ill. as well as in Chicago. Family was important to Dorothy for she cherished the time she spent with her nine grandchildren and 15 greatgrandchildren. They enjoyed the times at Fort Myers Beach and Pretty Lake. Dorothy was always a kind and thoughtful lady. Her volunteer activities included being a Girl Scout Leader. In Plymouth, she was a St. Joseph Hospital volunteer and auxiliary member, a volunteer at Heart and Hands, a volunteer helping the Plymouth Public Library at the Blueberry Festival and volunteered with her husband at the Boys & Girls Club. She was also a volunteer in the hospital at Geneva, Ill. She also enjoyed special time with friends as a member of the Red Hat Society. Because Joseph’s career took the family to many different states at different times in their lives, Dorothy made sure her family was healthy and happy no matter where they ended up living. She always put her husband and children first before herself. Dorothy was a member of St. Thomas Episcopal Church. Family services will take place followed by a public visitation to celebrate Dorothy’s life on Wednesday, April 29 from 4 – 7 p.m. in the Johnson-Danielson Funeral Home, 1100 N.

Superintendent Dan Tyree told members there were six funding options for the board members to categorize the projects into: Capital Projects Fund, Building Project, Bond, Donations, Partnership or Not a Priority. He stressed that no decisions were being made, they were only placing projects in categories where they think the funding would work. Following the work session Tryee will work with Curt Pletcher from Umbaugh, the schools financial consultants, to review the projects in their categories and estimated amounts and then bring them back to the board in a public meeting. Topping the list of facilities recommendations is the replacement of all or part of the Lincoln Junior High School. Overcrowding is an issue and looking down the years there doesn’t seem to be a reduction. The estimated maximum cost is listed at $30,000,000. The project was listed as a building project. The next item on the list is a competitive swimming pool. The Plymouth Aquatic Club has been meeting monthly for the past three years. School board members put the $7,000,000 pool in three categories; partnership, donations and the school’s capital project fund for the annual rental agreement. Security entrances at Washington and Webster Elementary Schools are also on the list of projects. Estimated cost of Washington is $60,000 while Webster’s is $25,000. The school board suggested funding these construction projects through the Capital Projects Fund possibly over a two year period. The varsity basketball court floor is the original floor. It was put in place in 1976. Over the years there have been four sandings but there is no more wood to sand down. Estimated cost to replace the wood floor with a new wood floor is $150,000. The board determined seeking donation would be the best option. Superintendent Tyree said, “The football field has completely lost the crown which means the water doesn’t drain off but stays standing out in the middle of it.” He commented that natural turf would require stripping the field down, re-crowning the field, reworking the drainage and replacing Argos Open Routes The Pilot News has motor routes open in the Argos area.

MaryLou was born on Sept. 5, 1937 in Ravanna, Ohio to Paul B. and Maude A. (Heeter) Smith. She would marry Donald S. Fritz and the couple would soon settle in Plymouth. Together Donald and she would start up F & K Enterprises, where MaryLou would handle all the bookkeeping. The couple enjoyed traveling to Florida in their RV during the winter months. She loved memories made with her children and many grandchildren. MaryLou volunteered with the local Girl Scouts for over five years, accompanying the girls on many trips so they could earn their badges. Her favorite trip with the girls was to the Grand Canyon. She was one of the original founders of the Maumee Muzzle Loaders of Marshall County and was a member of the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association. MaryLou is survived by her husband, Donald of Plymouth, and their children: Lonnie A. (Sandra) Stutler of Indianapolis, Shane E. (Shannon) Stutler of Texas, and Bryan W. (Vikki) Stutler of Plymouth, as well as, nine grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and eight great-greatgrandchildren. Also surviving are her siblings: Rosie Mesh of Ohio, JoAnn Smith of Texas, Paul David (Megan) Smith of Arizona, and many nieces, nephews and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents; son, Chuck Stutler; brother, Chuck Smith; and grandchildren, Brenda Lee Stutler and Amber N. Stutler. Private family services will be held. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the donor’s choice.

Tyree suggested artificial turf which would run $750,000 to $900,000 depending on what is found when they got underneath of it. Tyree also commented on the amount of maintenance natural turf requires. It was estimated that 25 to 30 games a year are played on the field with the 7th and 8th graders from LJH, freshmen, junior varsity and varsity football teams. The project was placed on the donation list. The fence around the track needs to be replaced. A black vinyl fence is estimated to cost $35,000 and could be a bonded project. Tyree said, “Our football facility is really on its last legs. The bleachers are at the end of their life.” They are inspected annually but there are problems each year to be addressed. Estimated cost to replace the home bleachers is $750,000. This project was put on the bond list. To go along with the bleachers, a new press box is necessary. The current one has sustained water damage over the years and to replace it was estimated at $80,000 using the maximum square footage allowed without an elevator. This too was placed on the bond list. Staying with the football field project is a new entrance and fencing. Currently patrons stand in the parking lot to purchase tickets. This portion is estimated to be $200,000. The proposals it to remodel the current concession stand, restrooms and storage for the entrance for $100,000. These projects would be on the bond and funded through donations. The final projects were additions to the administration building. Tryee presented plans for a two story addition on the east end with storage, records retention and additional offices at $200,000. The addition on the west end would include three new offices and a professional development area at a cost of $250,000. These projects were placed on the Capital Projects Fund list with the idea of spreading the two projects over a couple of years. To reiterate the process, the projects were placed in the suggested funding categories but that is not an indication of anything other than possible funding sources if they were to pursue. There were no commitments made on any of the projects discussed last night. This article appears curtsey of our news partners at WTCA 1050 AM 106.1 FM. It is printed here with permission. Election, from front with a smile. Absentee voting has been slow to trickle in with 64 ballots cast since the start of absentee voting. “It’s been smooth as far as the number of people turning ballots in. I think there’s those that believe more people would have turned out, but we’ll have absentee voting until noon on Monday,” said Pontius. The next absentee voting time will be 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the courthouse. For more information, visit http://www.co.marshall. in.us/?page_id=1229 for information on the local election.

Page A3 Tax, continued from front Don Ecker. According to City Attorney Sean Surrisi, Iqbal had assured that things were moving along and being taken care of. The board passed a motion to call for a hearing at the May 11 meeting about the case. In new business, a new code enforcement officer has been appointed, Officer Lisa Plants. According to Chief David Bacon, her duties have been rearranged as she has begun to learn the particulars of the job while still working as a radio dispatcher. Any concerns for properties that need checking on can go through Bacon himself. So far, Plants has been working on trash on properties and high grass primarily through documentation. Concerning trash, Mike Delp reported that he had checked into a property on the southern side of town that had received complaints on vehicles. Speaking with Bacon, the chief stated that as long as the vehicles “were operable and plated”, there was nothing that could be done to have the property owner remove them. By state statute, nonworking cars cannot be left out in public view, and must either be stored in a facility or hidden by a fence of some type. Signs have become an issue recently. Mike Delp stated that lately he had noticed temporary signs either being placed in the right of way or being left and forgotten. “We need to be proactive on doing this and try and have people follow the ordinances as best we can and not have signs sitting around too long,” said Delp. Moving on to their last serious topic of issue, the Mayor predicted that a wheel tax would likely be taking effect in the near future. As part of a proactive step towards what may be inevitable to the county, the Mayor stated he would like to craft and send a letter in support of the wheel tax to the Marshall County Commissioners, who may soon be deciding on the issue. A wheel tax is a proposed additional tax paid when a person purchases a license plate. It was stated that that rate could range from an additional $25 to $40. The move is prompted by a lack of funds as given by the state. “The state is forcing us to raise the money anyway,” said Delp. Money from a wheel tax goes strictly to roads and their maintenance. Cities, towns, and the county will receive a certain portion each of the tax.

Have you ever given an answer that makes the questioner blink? Twice? By RacHael Probably not. We PHilliPs Midwesterners like others to think we are normal. Occasionally, though, I regale a cornered listener with tales of jobs I held during my dirt-poor college days. I waitressed at the sole restaurant in a Western cowboy town that remained open after the bars closed. During another summer, my brother and I cleaned phone booths. We also cleaned telephone companies, creameries and lumberyards, where I viewed the first girlie pictures I had ever seen. Tidying a lawyers’ office, Ned and I sniffed open whiskey decanters and decided the turpentine-like scent precluded tasting it. Working these jobs, I learned the value of hard work, fortitude, and singing high operatic scales while cleaning men’s restrooms. For a year, I worked as a nurse’s aide in a county home for patients like Glen, who pantomimed shooting the staff. Albert sneaked up behind us, intoning the word, “Mur-r-rder-r-r.” I combed the nursing home grounds for bottles of booze James, who ran a thriving smuggling business, had hidden. After that job, even a secretarial position in academia seemed tame. Other workers push occupational limits as well. Refrigerator de-toxing aside, I do not regard cleaning as risky business — but washing windows on the Sears Tower? Ulp. Few adventure films feature dusting, but consider the heroism of a cling-to-the-scaffold I-max screen maintenance guy. Then there are the paper-towel sniffers. Yes, such an occupation exists, and according to IJ Review, pays anywhere from $19,000 to $52,000 per year. A tough shift might demand ice packs on the nose, as well as the everyday easy chair, but hey, someone has to do it. According to Readers Digest, airplane repossessors make lots more money. However, when I consider the levels of displeasure foreign governments might level at me, a milliondollar paycheck (and funeral) hold little appeal. Nor do I aspire to be a lion keeper or a snake milker, or any other caregiver to dangerous animals — though my mom experience running children’s birthday parties would qualify me. Those who prefer underwater excitement can work as divers who inspect oil rigs, lay pipes and weld. Or they can dive for pearls while establishing meaningful relationships with passing sharks. Amazingly, some golf ball divers, according to the IJ Review, make almost as much money. Association with sports never fails to generate big bucks, right? My son, who earned college money recording statistics at AA baseball games, might disagree. If he had truly applied himself, though, he could have become a “keeper of the Cup,” a Stanley Cup-sitter who accompanies the coveted hockey trophy wherever it goes. Modeling appears an equally cushy job. After all, models wear gorgeous clothes, visit exotic locations, and attract unending “wow!” tributes we all envy. However, have we considered the stresses of smiling on command for hours? While starving? Even at my wedding, I, well-fed as always, grew tired of posing my pearly whites. No modeling agencies have beaten a track to my door. But even if I could model, I’d rather work as an ice cream taster. Or as a water-slide tester. Better yet, wouldn’t we all like a career as a bed tester? Some consider that snoozy job equivalent to my writing profession. I do spend plenty of time in my PJs and bathrobe – necessary because inflexible waistbands stifle creativity. I park in a comfy chair with my laptop, and the necessary daydreaming (we writers call it brainstorming) sometimes morphs into napdreaming (subconscious research). Like William Faulkner, I work when inspired. He said he was inspired at 9 a.m. every morning. I am inspired anytime from 6 a.m. on, depending on my deadline, six days a week, and occasionally seven. I have experienced peril in my job, climbing a fire tower so I could refresh my acrophobia and write authentically about my characters’ fear of heights. I have spooked myself riding a nighttime ferry to an Ohio River pirate cave in order to experience the terror my nineteenth-century heroine felt. I have even faced editors who couldn’t find a Starbucks. Still, I think I’ll take this job. And I love it. CoFFee Corner Two and a half days Last week I spent an unexpected two and a half days in the local hospital. Thursday I went to see my family doctor about my high heart rate. He sent to me to the emergency room. After some preliminary assessments I was moved to the critical care unit where I stayed until Saturday afternoon. Sunday morning I was back in church but this time with a much lower heart rate than the week before. Once again I was impressed by the care that is available here in Plymouth. I was well pleased with my family doctor, the staff of the emergency room and critical care, and my cardiologist. This was my third trip to an emergency room. The first was at Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne and the second the hospital in Kendallville. Both time times were because of fainting spells. On both occasions I also received excellent care. My two and a half days in the hospital confirmed Diane’s and my choice of Plymouth as a place to retire. As one gets older the availability of good medical care is essential. Most of my medical needs can be addressed within 10 minutes of my home. The furthest I have to travel is 40 minutes to South Bend. Within easy driving distance are all of the facilities available in Chicago, Indianapolis, and Cleveland. ... From the heartland By Dave Hogsett Plymouth is a place where good medical care is available. My two and a half days in the hospital were also a reminder of how fragile life is. We can make our plans, look forward to executing our intentions, something happens and we find ourselves on a completely different track. The end of last week was nothing like I had planned. The lawn did not get mowed. I was not able to work out. Sometimes interruptions into our lives bring only temporary changes. At other times they can cause significant alterations. My life has become more complicated with the addition of three new medicines. I now have to work them into my schedule: remembering to take the right one at the right time with or without food. One of the medi- cines I am now taking is to counteract possible negative consequences of two of the others I am taking. Hopefully, my heart will settle down and I can get back to my basic three pills. We can never be sure what tomorrow will bring. All of which we can be sure is that God will be there to walk with us. Very often when visiting a person in the hospital, I would read Psalm 23. It gives the assurance that even when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, God is by our side. His rod and staff are there to give direction and comfort. My lawn is in need of mowing. Seeds need to be gotten into the ground. Unwanted plants are beginning to grow. A little edging would be helpful. There is a good prospect that by pacing myself I will be able to get everything done. Another two and a half days in the hospital may be a part of my future. I could spend my days worrying about this prospect. That might just hasten its coming. My intention is to with a degree of good sense live each day as a gift from God to be lived and enjoyed.

Less corruption, not cheaper construction ahead in Indiana with repeal of ‘prevailing wage’ law Indiana has just passed legislation that would eliminate the “prevailing wage” for public construction projects. Indiana passed what is known as a “little” Davis-Bacon Act in 1935. That act today requires that any nonroadway project involving more than $350,000 in public funds would require a five-person committee to set wages for contract workers. This committee consists of representatives from local business, labor, contractors, government and taxpayers. Indiana’s new legislation eliminates this rule so wages are no longer part of the bidding process for public works projects. Proponents of the measure point to large cost savings to public infrastructure, while opponents argue it will hurt local construction companies and workers. Given a great deal of good research on the matter, it might be wise to see what recent studies conclude on these issues. From my reading of the available research, several recurring themes emerge. First, the passage of this law will have little or no impact on skilled workers. Their effective wages are already primarily set in markets, not by committees. The biggest wage impact will be on low-skilled workers in construction, whose wages are now set by committees. Markets will value Commentary By MicHael J. Hicks them less and we ought to expect fewer of them on construction sites, with lower pay. The best studies on the issue also point to a reduced union wage premium and more racial equality in construction wages. The latter is an important point, because racial discrimination as part of the DavisBacon Act has been a persistent issue in its application. Why this might be the case is related to a later point. Second, there have been several studies of the effect of prevailing wage on construction costs. They overwhelmingly point to little or no impact on individual project costs of eliminating prevailing wage. One of the best studies looked at the Midwest where legal changes offered a clean natural experiment and found no savings. I think that is the likely impact in Indiana because most contractors will hire more skilled workers and fewer unskilled workers as several have testified. The real impact of the repeal of the prevailing wage law is that it weakens the largest source of public corruption in local government: the over-cozy relationship between public officials and the participants of the prevailing wage committees. This relationship makes it too easy to trade political support for construction projects with local vendors and unions. The end of prevailing wage spreads the competition for contracting outside the voter pool. The impact should be obvious. The limitations on the cost studies outlined above are that they can only identify cost overruns on individual projects. Whether or not a project was unnecessary or shoddily built is not part of the construction data. It is, however, part of the common experience of local government construction projects. Many folks cannot say so openly, but taxpayers, good contractors, skilled workers and honest politicians should welcome the end to the prevailing wage laws in Indiana.

The 1985 graduate of Glenn, who served the last nine seasons as Glenn’s offensive coordinator, will officially become the school’s next head coach at the May 6 school board meeting. “I’m a John Glenn guy,” Groves said. “We’re going into a new conference (the Northern Indian Conference) and I’m excited for the kids.” “We felt like Damon was the perfect fit,” John Glenn School Corporation superintendent Richard Reese said. “Damon is a homegrown product, who has dedicated many years to his teaching and coaching careers in the John Glenn School Corporation. “We’re excited because we know he’ll bring his excitement and knowledge of the game of football to our program.” Glenn athletic director Chris Mannering said Groves met the three main criteria he and the search committee were looking for. “Damon brought a lot of qualities that we wanted here at John Glenn,” Mannering said. “One was previous head coaching experience. Another one was someone that was in the community, a teacher. And someone that can develop young men into adults and leaders within our community.” Groves replaces Dave Sharpe, who after just two years stepped down as Glenn’s head football coach to take the same position at LaPorte High School. In Sharpe’s two years in Walkerton, the Falcons were a combined 12-10, including 7-3 in 2014. Glenn advanced to the 2013 sectional championship before losing to eventual Class 3A state champion Andrean. Groves said the opportunity to be Glenn’s head coach somewhat fell into his lap. Once Sharpe took the LaPorte job, Groves felt as though he had to seize the chance to lead the Falcon program. “Was I looking to be a head coach again? Not really,” Groves said. “Did I miss being a head coach? Yes and it suddenly opened up.” This will be the first program Groves, a 1990 graduate of Ball State, has been in MCT phoTo The San Antonio Spurs’ Tim Duncan is fouled by the Los Angeles Clippers’ DeAndre Jordan (6) while attempting a shot in the first quarter of Game 5 in the Western Conference quarterfinals at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Groves will meet his team as head coach for the first time today and is expected to officially become the program’s new head coach at a May 6 school board meeting. charge of since leading West Central’s football program for five seasons (1997-2001). Groves led West Central to a 33-21 record during his tenure, which included a 1998 Midwest Conference Coach of the Year honor. That same year he led West Central to the conference championship as well as a Class 1A sectional title. In addition, Groves had West Central ranked among the top 10 in 1A for 38 straight weeks. From 1990-93, Groves served as a volunteer assistant coach at Glenn and was the school’s athletic director for a year-and-a-half before going back to the classroom in 2004. He was Glenn’s freshman head coach in 2004-05 and a varsity assistant coach in 2005-06 before becoming the Falcons’ offensive coordinator. Groves plans to keep the coaching staff intact from last year as he will continue calling the team’s plays con- Girls tennis Concord hands Plymouth 1st loss Plymouth’s girls tennis team suffered its first loss of the season, a razor-thin 3-2 loss to visiting Concord in a Northern Lakes Conference meet Tuesday in Centennial Park. Three of the matches went three sets, and two of those went to tiebreakers. Haley Harrell and Libbie Portteus lost in three sets to Holyn Eldridge and Mandy Meserve, 7-6(1), 0-6, 7-5 at 1 doubles, while Plymouth 2 doubles tandem Kendall Dreibelbis and McKenzie Scheetz defeated Alexa Klopfenstein and Shannon Purcell 6-2, 2-6, 7-6(2). Lanae Singleton lost in three sets to Concord’s Alana Brubaker 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 at 2 singles, meanwhile. Apart from the 2 doubles win, Plymouth’s other victory came at 3 singles, where Jess Stillson beat Kindra Pressinell 6-3, 6-1. The Lady Pilgrims slip to 8-1 overall with a 2-1 NLC record.

Today he will meet with the Falcons for the first time as their head coach. As far as coaching philosophies go, Groves will naturally adapt to his personnel, but there are some traits his Falcon teams rely on. “I’ve always been a Wing-T guy and the Wing-T is run-oriented, but with the personnel we have coming back we’ll probably incorporate more of a passing game than I’ve ever had,” he said. With senior-to-be quarterback Daniel Wallace returning, it’s easy to see why Groves wants to incorporate more of a pass-happy offense. Groves will have a large senior class next fall to work with, including some kids who are athletic and tall that can catch the ball. On defense, expect Groves’ teams to line up in a 3-4 formation, which will allow them some flexibility, especially when they face Results Doubles: 1.

In the end, his loyalty to Glenn and its school system helped him get the job. “We wanted somebody who was willing to be here five to 10 years,” Mannering said. “We knew he wasn’t going to be looking for another job, this was going to be it. That was important to us.” “We wanted someone that has proven his desire to coach here,” Reese said. “He will meet the needs of our program and take us to the next level.” What is that next level? “You’ve got to win titles of some kind, trophies,” Grove said. “It’s not going to be easy.

Jordan tipped it in, but touched the ball inside the cylinder, a ruling upheld on video review. Game 6 is Thursday in San Antonio.

CUBS 6, PIRATES 2 MLB ChiSox and Orioles will play without fans BALTIMORE (AP) —After a pair of postponements caused by rioting in Baltimore, the Orioles and Chicago White Sox will play Wednesday at Camden Yards in what is believed to be the first game without fans in major league baseball’s 145-season history. Because of the unsettled environment in Baltimore, where rioters burned a drug store and set police cars ablaze on Monday night, officials moved the game up five hours from its original 7:05 p.m. starting time and closed it to the public. In addition, Baltimore’s Friday-to-Sunday series against Tampa Bay was shifted from Camden Yards to Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, with the Orioles remaining the home team and batting last. “All of the decisions in Baltimore were driven first by the desire to insure the safety of fans, players, umpires and stadium workers,” Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred wrote in an email to The Associated Press. “Only after we were comfortable that those concerns had been addressed did we consider competitive issues and the integrity of the schedule.” Although the Orioles won’t be performing in front of their fans Wednesday and will lose three home games, they understood the situation and had no complaints. NFL NFL gives up tax-exempt status WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Football League is giving up its tax-exempt status. In a letter to team owners, Commissioner Roger Goodell says the league office and its management council will file tax returns as taxable entities for the 2015 fiscal year. Goodell says the NFL has been tax-exempt since 1942, though all 32 teams pay taxes on their income. Goodell says the change will not alter the function or operation of the league, since all the teams already pay taxes. Some members of Congress have criticized the NFL, which generates billions in revenue, for being tax-exempt. Goodell says the status has become a “distraction.” Goodell forwarded the letter to the owners to Congressman Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee.

Pilot News • Wednesday, April 29, 2015 CHICAGO (AP) — Dexter Fowler had three hits and two RBIs, Travis Wood tossed seven strong innings and the Chicago Cubs won their fourth straight. Kris Bryant, Starlin Castro, Junior Lake and Addison Russell each had an RBI as the Cubs scored all their runs with two outs. Wood (2-1) extended his solid start to the season by allowing two runs and five hits. He lowered his ERA to 3.04. Starling Marte accounted for Pittsburgh’s offense with a two-run homer in the fourth. Pirates starter Jeff Locke (2-1) took the loss after giving up six runs, five earned, and eight hits in 3 2-3 innings. DIAMONDBACKS 12, ROCKIES 5 PHOENIX (AP) — Diamondbacks pitcher Archie Bradley was hit in the face by a line drive but walked off the field and gave a thumbs up to the crowd, apparently avoiding serious injury. Mark Trumbo went 4 for 4 with a two-run homer and a two-run triple to lead the Diamondbacks, who ended a four-game skid after a frightening scene early on. Bradley was struck on the right side of his face by a liner off the bat of Rockies slugger Carlos Gonzalez in the second inning. The 22-year-old rookie lay virtually motionless on the mound for several minutes as trainers attended to him and anguished teammates squatted nearby. Eventually he was rolled over and helped to his feet. CARDINALS 11, PHILLIES 5 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Matt Carpenter tripled and doubled, and the St. Louis Cardinals had season highs in runs and hits to help Michael Wacha remain unbeaten. Matt Holliday and Matt Adams each added three hits for the Cardinals, who finished with 15 hits. Jason Heyward reached base four times and Jon Jay drove in two runs. Wacha (4-0) drove in two runs and pitched 5 2-3 innings to win for the fourth time in four starts. Severino Gonzalez (0-1) yielded seven runs and 10 hits in 2 2/3 innings in his major league debut. MARLINS 4, METS 3 MIAMI (AP) — Michael Morse hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning that sent the Miami Marlins to victory. It was the Marlins’ first win against the Mets this season in six tries. Miami has won six of seven overall. Steve Cishek, who blew a save in Monday’s 3-1 loss to New York by allowing a three-run homer to Daniel Murphy in the ninth, walked leadoff hitter Curtis Granderson before earning his second save of the year in four opportunities. Bryan Morris (3-0) pitched a scoreless eighth for the win. Juan Lagares hit a threerun double and Murphy had three hits for the Mets (15-6), who lost for only the third time in 16 games. NATIONALS 13, BRAVES 12 ATLANTA (AP) — Dan Uggla drove in five runs, three on a homer in the ninth inning, to help the Washington Nationals rally from the franchise’s biggest deficit to beat the Atlanta Braves 13-12 on Tuesday night and snap a sevengame losing streak.

Plymouth adult softball revelation that ace Masahiro Tanaka will be out at least a month because of a mild forearm strain and right wrist tendinitis overshadowed the New York Yankees’ victory behind Brian McCann’s two doubles that drove in three runs. Chase Whitley (1-0) was making a spot start that was meant to give Tanaka and others extra rest. But the right-hander from Alabama could find himself in the rotation for a while after giving up six hits and one run in five gritty innings. He was pitching at the same time general manager Brian Cashman was explaining Tanaka’s injuries. Brett Gardner had an RBI groundout against Jake Odorizzi (2-2) in the Yankees’ second win over Tampa Bay in this series and 10th in 12 games overall. Chris Martin yielded a twoout single in the ninth before finishing for his first career save. ROYALS 11, INDIANS 5 CLEVELAND (AP) — Kendry Morales’ three-run homer capped a six-run seventh inning for the Kansas City Royals. Kansas City’s big inning came after Cleveland had taken a 5-3 lead on Brandon Moss’ three-run homer in the sixth. Alcides Escobar’s two-run double off Scott Atchison (0-1) tied the game. Escobar scored the go-ahead run from second on Mike Moustakas’ infield hit and Morales later hit his third homer of the season to dead center off Bryan Shaw. Brandon Finnegan (1-0) picked up his first career win despite allowing Moss’ home run. The Royals had a seasonhigh 18 hits. Cleveland manager Terry Francona met with his team for a pep talk following Monday’s defeat, but the Indians lost for the eighth time in 11 games. GIANTS 2, DODGERS 1 NEW YORK (AP) — The LOS ANGELES (AP) — Madison Bumgarner pitched eight sharp innings in his fifth career matchup against Clayton Kershaw and batterymate Buster Posey homered, leading the San Francisco Giants. Bumgarner (2-1) gave up a run and five hits, struck legal problems and questionable behavior during most of his championship reign. Jones was arrested in 2012 after crashing his Bentley into a telephone pole in Binghamton, New York. He had his driver’s license suspended after being charged with DWI, but did no jail time. Last August, Jones and Cormier were involved in a brawl in the lobby of the MGM Grand casino while appearing at a pro- motional event. Jones was fined $50,000 and ordered to do community service by the Nevada Athletic Commission. In early December, Jones tested positive for metabolites of cocaine while training. Jones was allowed to compete because the test was conducted out of competition, and he beat Cormier at UFC 182. When the failed drug test became public, Jones publicly apologized for a “mistake,” but spent just one day YANKEES 4, RAYS 2 out nine and walked one while throwing 110 pitches. Last year’s World Series and NLCS MVP is 3-1 lifetime against Kershaw, who was his mound opponent six nights earlier in San Francisco when neither got a decision in the Giants’ 3-2 win. Santiago Casilla pitched a perfect ninth for his sixth save in seven chances. Kershaw (1-2) allowed two runs and seven hits over seven innings before he was lifted for a pinch-hitter. ATHLETICS 6, ANGELS 2 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Sonny Gray struck out six and walked one over eight impressive innings, Brett Lawrie hit a three-run homer in the first that held up, and the Oakland Athletics snapped a season-high fourgame losing streak. Josh Reddick hit a solo homer and a two-run single to back Gray (3-0), who retired 13 straight batters during one stretch to help the A’s avoid dropping to five games below .500 for the first time since June 30, 2012. Oakland bounced back against the defending AL West champions after being swept at home over the weekend by Houston. Gray allowed two runs and six hits in his 105-pitch day. He lowered his ERA to 1.98 before Evan Scribner struck out the side in order to finish the 2-hour, 6-minute game. TWINS 3, TIGERS 2 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Mike Pelfrey turned in his second consecutive strong start, Kurt Suzuki had two hits and the go-ahead single in the seventh inning. Pelfrey (2-0) begrudgingly started the season in the bullpen after spending most of 2014 on the disabled list. He struck out seven and allowed one earned run on three hits over seven innings. The big right-hander has won his last two starts while allowing only one earned run in 14 innings. Eduardo Escobar clapped his hands and pumped his fists as he stood on second base after his seventh-inning double scored Eduardo Nunez to tie the game. Suzuki followed with a single up the middle off Anibal Sanchez (1-3) to give Minnesota the lead. Jones, cont. from Page A5 the show goes on. Anthony Johnson is ready for this fight, and Daniel Cormier was beyond pumped to get this opportunity.” Jones’ talent and personality have made him one of the sport’s most prominent figures and a staple of the UFC’s major pay-perview shows. He became the youngest champion in UFC history in March 2011, and he defended the 205-pound belt eight times. Earlier Tuesday in Albuquerque, the 27-year- old Jones made his first court appearance with his lawyer, but left without speaking to reporters. He faces a felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident involving death or personal injuries. Jones was released Monday on a $2,500 bond. A judge did not impose travel restrictions on Jones. According to police, witnesses said that Jones ran from a crash Sunday that hospitalized the pregnant woman but quickly came back to grab “a large handful of cash” from the car. Authorities say the accident occurred in southeastern Albuquerque when the driver of a rented SUV ran a red light. Officers found a pipe with marijuana in the SUV as well as MMA and rental car documents in Jones’ name, according to the police report. Although Jones (21-1) reigns atop the sport after his lengthy run of dominant fighting, he has endured in a drug rehabilitation center before checking himself out. Jones is a native of upstate New York, but lives in New Mexico and works under prominent local trainer Greg Jackson. Jones has two brothers who play in the NFL. Albuquerque is a hub for MMA fighters who train at Jackson’s gym and use the city’s high altitude to prepare for bouts. Results, cont. from Page A5 turned in a 53.

Pilot News • Wednesday, April 29, 2015 Fun & Advice Page A7 We’re just mad about saffron Dustin BY MICHAEL ROIZEN, M.D., AND MEHMET OZ, M.D. In 1966, when Donovan crooned “I’m just mad about Saffron/Saffron’s mad about me,” we don’t think he knew it takes 70,000 to 250,000 purple saffron crocuses to make one pound of the amber-red seasoning. (It’s made from dried stigma, the part of the flower where pollen germinates.) No wonder it costs $75 or more an ounce. But its delicate flavor, wonderful color and nutritional payload (vitamin B-2, flavonoids) turn out to be only part of its powers: A new study reveals that taking the spice (most sold in North America is from Spain Blondie and Kashmir) is a more effective way to prevent and control post-exercise pain than taking an anti-inflammatory pain reliever called indomethacin; it is a NSAID, like ibuprofen. Researchers had a group of inactive 18-year-olds go through a series of strenuous exercises: Those who took the powdered saffron (300 milligrams, or 1/100 of an ounce, daily for one week before and for three days after working out) were pain-free for 72 hours after exercising; those who took the NSAID had minor pain 24 hours later; and those who took neither had severe muscle pain for three days afterward. So the next time you’re getting ready to take a hike, join a charity walk-a-thon, do a fun run or are just looking for a flavor treat, cook up some paella, vegetable soup or Moroccan seafood stew, and add some saffron. Luckily, it takes just a pinch (and you can buy it by the gram) to impart its flavor and goodness. MoMents in tiMe The History Channel Chuckle of the day... Someday is not a day of the week.

Cat-box deodorizer? -- Heloise EASY FIND AND CLEANUP Dear Heloise: I purchased a refrigerator that is the right size for me. However, it was becoming annoying to dig around trying to find leftovers, etc. I decided to try using turntables. I bought 18-inch and 12-inch turntables. I use one on the middle rack, and it stores large jars and most leftovers. The smaller turntable is on the top shelf to hold jam, jellies, condiments, etc. Now everything is easy to see and easy to reach. If you use this, please sign me “Dude, NorCal.” Hey, Dude! (“Hey Jude” -- are you humming the song? I am.) We think alike. I have turntables in our refrigerators. It’s easy to find a jar 255 Homes for Sale of relish, mustard, pickled mushrooms, etc., and it helps keep the shelf clean. Please write again! -- Heloise REMOVING SLICES Dear Heloise: I just read your column about a reader having trouble removing pie slices from the pie pan. I saw this on a cooking show: If the pan is a tinfoil type, take shears and cut into the side in two places. Cut the pan as far as you can, then fold it down. You should be able to get a pie server in to take out the first slice. The next slices should be easy to get out. Hope this helps the reader. -- JoAnn F., Lincoln, Calif. COOLING RACK Dear Heloise: I seldom bake, and my kitchen is very tiny. I do not have a cooling rack. Usually, when I take something hot from the oven, I lay two table knives on the counter, one pointing in each direction. Then I set the hot pan on it to cool. Works well. Recently, all my table knives were in the sink to be washed. I thought, “Now what do I do?” I opened my cupboards and took out four cans of fruit, set them on the counter and put the hot pan on them. A great idea! -- Frances H., Kane, Pa.

Dennis Wenzel. For more information contact 574-780-9240 or visit www.toastmasters.org.
