Trojans host Onekama

Lake City’s varsity baseball and softball teams were on their home diamonds Tuesday night as the Trojans played host to the Portagers from Onekama in non-league doubleheaders. LC’s “boys of Spring” split their games, winning the opener 6-3 with some gritty defense, as demonstrated by their third baseman (above), before drop-ping the nightcap 19-2.

McBAIN – After getting roughed up in their baseball season opener against cross-town rival McBain last week, the Comets of Northern Michigan Christian Schools welcomed Leland to town Tuesday night.

Behind a solid pitching effort from Josh Rozeveld and some timely hitting, the Comets edged Leland in the nightcap of the doubleheader by a score of 9-8 after three innings of play to notch their first victory of the season.

The first game of the evening went Leland’s way, however, with the score 20-9 in the visiting team’s advantage when the game ended after five innings.

“Josh Rozeveld pitched well in the second game,” NMCS coach Michael Perry credited. “There was definite improvement in these games over our first one [against McBain].”

Over the course of the eight innings played Tuesday night, the Comets

McBAIN – With a half-dozen of their Seniors away enjoying their class trip, the McBain Ram-blers faced a tough back-to-back in their schedule this week with doubleheaders against Frankfort and Houghton Lake on Monday and Tuesday.

The Frankfort twinbill was es-pecially challenging for McBain, as the Panthers came into the game ranked number-one in their division. The Ramblers played close with Frankfort in the opener before coming out on the short end of an 8-1 score with hurler BJ Sterk getting tagged for the loss. Sterk issued five walks, but he also sent five Panthers down

on strikes.Trevor Lutke, Jared Larr and

Shawn Bonham did their best to try and pick Sterk up when their respective turns in the batters box came around, all pinging out base hits, but it the Ramblers were un-able to string enough hits together at opportune times to plate enough runs to stay with Frankfort.

The nightcap wasn’t nearly as close as McBain committed too many errors and the Panthers got away from them early on the way to a 15-0 shutout win in five in-nings of play.

Larr was hit with the loss as the pitcher of record for McBain, but Rambler coach Chad Grundy pointed out it was his team’s defensive miscues which made

the difference in the game as Larr threw well enough. Larr fin-ished with seven strikeouts while walking three. Offensively, the Ramblers got hits from Hunter Thompson, Logan Nemeth, Sterk and Cody Deruiter.

McBain faced Houghton Lake Tuesday and came away with a split, winning the first game 6-3 and dropping the second 4-3.

Lutke notched the pitching vic-tory in the first game, overcoming eight walks by only giving up two hits and striking out seven. Coming through at the plate for McBain were Thompson and Tom Bow-ers with two hits and Nemeth and Lutke with base rips of their own.

In the second game, Houghton Lake scored early once again, plating three runs in the opening stanza, and the Ramblers were unable to rally despite a strong effort from Nemeth.

Nemeth went six innings to strike out seven Bobcats while surrendering three walks.

Offensively, the Ramblers were led by Thompson, Sterk, Larr and Nemeth.

Voices

by Chris Bernard

Cross-country comparisons of something so subjective as happi-ness are bound to be controversial. But, aside from the gorgeous beaches and nature preserves, there’s one thing that sets this little country apart. From this one factor come many more desirable aspects of living there.

Costa Rica made a remarkable decision in 1949 to dissolve its armed forces and invest instead in education. Increased school-ing then created a far more stable society, less prone to the conflicts that have certainly raged else-where in Central America.

Education boosted the economy too, enabling the country to be-come a major exporter of com-puter chips and improving English language skills (so as to attract American eco-tourists).

That’s not all. Rising education levels also fostered impressive gender equality, such that it ranks higher than the U.S. in the World Economic Forum’s gender gap index. So naturally the females there are more productive than is true in most of the region. Face it, folks: Central America is not a place we’d describe as egalitar-ian.

Likewise, education nurtured improvements in health care, with life expectancy about the same

as ours. Rising education levels also led the country to preserve its lush environment, as an economic asset. Costa Rica is said to be an ecological pioneer, introducing its carbon tax over ten years ago. In a collaborative effort of Columbia and Yale Universities, Costa Rica was ranked at Number 5 in the world, the best outside Europe.

Emphasis on the environment hasn’t sabotaged their economy but rather has bolstered it. Indeed, Costa Rica is one of the very few countries that’s seeing migration from the U.S. I can see why. Yan-kees are heading south to enjoy a low-cost retirement. I’m thinking, in fact, that we’ll be seeing large numbers of all English-speaking retirement communities along the Costa Rican coast.

In this sense, we’d do well to emulate their contentment. Cultural emphasis on family and friends and on social capital over financial capital, certainly play a big part in their lifestyle.

It seems pretty clear to me that Costa Rica’s national decision to invest in education rather than arms has paid rich dividends. Maybe the lesson for us is that we could devote fewer resources to shoring up foreign armies and more to enriching schools, both here and abroad.

I sure would like to conduct my OWN research there!

ASPIRIN USEThe most recent approach to cardio-

vascular (CV) event prevention urged the use of 162mg a day (2 baby aspirin). There are some “experts” now back-pedaling on the use of aspirin (ASA) for prevention.

We are aware aspirin is great for SECONDARY prevention, to prevent recurrent CV events. Its prevention outweighs its risk of causing bleeding. The story changes for PRIMARY pre-vention.

ASA is found to prevent only about one initial serious CV event for every 1,000 patients/year, and can cause a similar amount of bleeding problems. Providers have been starting women at age 50-55 and men at age 45.

What has changed is the idea ASA should not be used for PRIMARY pre-vention. The American Diabetes Asso-ciation has updated guidelines and rec-ommends using ASA for patients with a 10-year cardiovascular risk. This indi-cates diabetic men over 50 and women over 60 with other risks (hypertension, cholesterol problems, smoking, family history of heart or vascular disease, or are showing signs of spilling albumin [a protein indicating kidney stress]) should be treated with ASA.

Regarding ASA use, if folks do not meet the criteria, I will be stopping this medication. Now, it is also suggested 81mg is enough. Blood pressure needs to be less than 150/90mmHg before initiation of ASA. Uncontrolled hyperten-sion increases the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. Don’t change you present ASA regime without talking to your provider.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20No one can ever achieve perfect balance, Aries, so don’t put so much effort toward this goal. There’s no need to be perfect; you’re fine just the way you are.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Everyone is waiting for you to get down to business, Taurus. The time is right to get to work and make everyone proud. But don’t get too far ahead of the pack.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21You’re texting, calling, and emailing people all day long. No one can claim that you aren’t the center of information. But you may be spending too much time gossiping instead of working.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Agree to disagree with someone at your office. Sometimes an argument is not worth the effort, and proving a point does not lead to success. Take some time to relax on Tuesday.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Try to see the bright side of your employment situation, Leo. No job is perfect, including your own. But any job can have bright spots. Get a new perspective.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Don’t criticize others, Virgo, when you’re guilty of doing the same exact thing. Worry only about yourself the next few weeks. You’ll be much hap-pier that way.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23The answer to a problem may seem obvious, Libra. But you may want to dig a little deeper. Chances are you are missing something if the answer is too easy.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22With so many tempting options, it can be extremely hard to make a

decision, Scorpio. Don’t fall for just glitter and glamour, however. Look for something of substance.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Some bit of information is escaping you, Sagittarius. Keep thinking and it will come back. Leo is a thorn in your side this week. But the problem will soon blow over.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Follow the routine and stick to the basics this week, Capricorn. Now is not the time to try something new. Go with what works. Aquarius offers good advice.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18A great idea comes out of the blue and provides inspiration for future projects, Aquarius. Embrace it and enjoy the ride. Cancer means well but could be meddlesome.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Nothing is set in stone this week, Pi-sces. So try a few different scenarios and you may discover something that works for you.

Here’s How It Works:Sudoku puzzles are format-ted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

In loving memory of Tim Brunner

4-18-1961 to 7-28-2002When tomorrow starts without me and I’m not there to see. If

the sun should rise to find your eyes all filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn’t cry that way you did today, while

thinking of the many things you didn’t get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that

you think of me, I know I’ll miss you too. But when tomorrow

starts without me, please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name and took me

by the hand. He said my place was ready in Heaven far above, and that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love. So when tomorrow starts without me,

don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me I’m

right there in your hearts.
