I don’tknow how familiaryou arewith
Reddit, the social platform which can be
fascinating or totally offensive. Jokes,
original artwork, sexual innuendo, pho-
tos, discussions of space,science andpol-
itics are some of the fun categories that
will challenge your psyche.
Recently, a user posed the followingquestion to doctors, nurses, police, para-
medics, etc.: “Did you ever hear a death
bed confession and what was it?” More
than 8,000 people responded. There was
one where a lady came into the ER from
an automobile accident and needed sur-
gery. Before she went in to OR, she told
the nurse that she had a child before she
met her husband and wanted him toknow
that ifthat child ever came looking forher
tolet him knowshewas sorrythat she put
him up for adoption and that she thought
about him and loved him every day. She
recovered from the accident and was
released.The nurse hoped she was able to
build the courage to tell her husband.
Another was about a son that volun-
teered to donate tissue after hisfather had
a massive heart attack. Comparability
tests were required before it could be
accomplished. The doctor came in and
toldtheyoungmanthat hecouldnotbe a
donor because there was no match, he
was not even related. The tissue was
obtained from another. The son who
wrote the piece went on to say, “I never
told him … in my heart he’s my dad for-
ever.
Another from a lady that had a 24-
year-old cousin who died aftertwo double
lung transplants from a long battle with
cystic fibrosis. The only spot on her body
not bruised or covered with tubes was on
her cheek. So I rubbed her cheek and
shared stories of my travels to Africa and
Scotland uttering I’ll do everything I can
for you. She opened her eyes and smiled
and then closed them again. She died a
few days later after the second transplant.
She loved butterflies and talked about
them all the time. Since she passed, I’ve
had them land on me with strange regu-
larity alloverthe world. She’s with me …
I’m living for both of us.
Very uplifting after perusing the hatred
often found on Hate Book, err, Face
Book. I was thinking with yesterday
being Ash Wednesday and Easter coming
up in March how Jesus died on the cross
because the crowd said, “Kill him!” Thatsame crowd lives today, don’t they?
Thomas Jeff erson said, “Banking
establishments are more dangerous than
standing armies.” And you thought you
were the only one that felt that way.
History has a way of giving the soul that
wonderful perspective that some things
never change. I think it’s important to
note that Tom made that statement right
after being turned down for the four th
time on a special issue “Boston Tea
Par ty” Visa card. Tom’s credit rating
(490) became so tarnished that he had to
buy his horses at “Freedom Bell’s Used
Horses and Buggies” Buy Here Pay Here
Corral. I read interest rates were as much
as 4 percent back then for bad credit.
Only 60 days left to file your income
tax or seek shelter in a third world coun-
try. If only there were second worldcoun-
tries. Third world is just too far down the
ladder.
I was doing a teen dance a few weeks
back, struggling in my mind to remember the hottest, cutest girl in my eighth grade
class. A couple of hours later after arriv-
ing home, I grabbed an ice water, my BP
meds and settled down to relax for about
30 minutes before heading off to bed.
Flipping through the channels, all I could
f ind was an old historic episode of
Seinfeld from way back in the 90’s. Only
seconds went by when George hit the
BINGO button for me by mentioning the
name Blanch It all came racing back to
me Blanch Alberts was her name, what a
number every guy at Derby Junior High
in Birmingham, Mich. had eyes for
Blanch. You have to guess that she went
on to be a super star doing something or
that she married young and had seven
kids and now works at the Waffle House
doing waffles and coffee to help make
ends meet. Reruns pop up like that every
now and then don’t they?
Here are a few shows being released in
the coming months on Tunnel Vision:
• One World One Cleanser (Is this a
plot?)
• Same Haircut for Everyone
Movement (T Party extremists?)
• Homo Sapiens That Weep (Too much
emotion for me)
I’ve got to run and pick up my Nehru
jacket from the cleaners. I want to look
sharpwhen Lucyand I goout tocelebrate
Valentine’s Day tonight. Happy
Valentine’s day, everyone!

DAYTON — Jose Nieves was introduced as the seventh manag-
er in the 14-year history of the Dayton Dragons last week.
Nieves said he is excited to come to the Dragons because he
has heard a great deal about the organization and its fans. “I feel
great to be part of that,” he said. Because of its operation and fan
base, it is the closes to a major-league atmosphere that a player
can experience.
He said he is excited about the potential roster that is being
discussed. “It has a chance to be a very special team.”While he wants to have a winning team, “the main goal is to
develop players,” Nieves said. “This is a business.” The way a
min0r-league system is run is a huge part of making a major-
league team successful, he said.
As far as his managerial style is concerned, Nieves said he
likes to play “small ball … I like to be aggressive. Every single
guy in the line up counts.” Pitching and defense are very impor-
tant, he said.
He said he will teach players how to play baseball the right
way. “I’m up to the challenge … I can assure you that we’re
going to act like pros.”
Nieves, 37, brings three years of experience as a manager in
the Cincinnati Reds organization. He managed the Reds’ Arizona
League team for the last two seasons. Previously he served as
manager of the Reds’ affiliate in the Venezuelan Summer
League.
He played shortstop during a five-year major league career. He
spent parts of three seasons with the Chicago Cubs from 1998-2000 and was a member of the Anaheim Angels in 2001-02. He
played on the Angels’ 2002 world championship team.
He was born in Venezuela and now makes his home in the
Phoenix, Ariz. area.
“Jose Nieves is a tremendous worker who is devoted to devel-
oping our young players, said Jeff Graupe, the Reds’ director of
player development. “Josey’s experiences in the game allow him
to relate to players of all ages, and his high baseball IQ is shown
through the quality of his in-game managing.”
Tony Fossas and Alex Pelaez will be the Dragons’ pitching and
hitting coaches, respectively.
Fossas returns to Dayton after serving as the Dragons’ pitch-
ing coach from 2009-11. He was the pitching coach at Billings
last year.
He spent 12 years in the major leagues as a left-handed relief
pitcher. He appeared in 567 games mostly with the Boston Red
Sox, St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers.
Pelaez is starting his fifth year as a hitting coach in the Reds’organization. He served at Billings in 2012 and held the same
position for the Gulf Coast League Reds in 2009. He is in his
third season as the Dragons’ hitting coach.
He was a third baseman for the San Diego Padres in 2002.

COLUMBUS — State Senator Shannon Jones (R–Springboro)
joined fellow women legislators in the fight against women’s
number one killer, heart disease. The women united to raise
awareness for the disease, which affects approximately 42 mil-
lion women in the United States.
“More women die of cardiovascular disease than all forms of
cancer combined,” said Jones. “Women’s heart disease symp-
toms are different from men’s and are often hidden or misun-
derstood. Together we can educate our daughters, sisters, moth-
ers and friends about heart disease prevention and treatment.”
This is the 10th year of the Go Red For Women movement. As
a result of increased awareness and research, more than 627,000
women have been saved from heart diseases and 330 fewer are
dying each day.
