Heidelberg indoor track notes
Fri, March 5, 2010 @ 2:34AM
Heidelberg's women's indoor track team, led by Judy Bataille, finished sixth at the Ohio Athletic Conference meet in Marietta this past weekend. Bataille, who received the Fred Raizk Most Outstanding Sprint Athlete honor, claimed the title in the 200 dash ( a facility and OAC championship record 25 seconds), and took runner up in the 55 dash, tying the school record of seven seconds and gaining an automatic bid to the national meet later this month. Bataille also was part of the winning 4 x 200 and 4 x 400 relays.The 4 x 200 team includes New Riegel graduate Jamie Depinet and Columbian graduate Alexis Goodman, as well as Jazmine Shaw. The 4 x 400 team included Depinet, Shaw, and Bataille, as well as Jessica Jones. The Heidelberg men placed third at the OAC meet, paced by Julius Higginbotham, who won the long jump at the meet for the third-straight year. Higginbotham jumped 7-6, good enough for a provisional qualifying mark for this months nationals.

Finally!
Wed, March 10, 2010 @ 12:48PM
This is a red letter day, or more appropriately a green-letter one. I worked outside for a couple of hours this morning. It was rather a surreal experience pushing aside piles of snow to get to all the area I wanted to work on, but after filling two bins with climbing rose trimmings, a clump of ornamental grass stalks and assorted sticks, redbud pods, ivy trails and leaves, it looks better beside the back door. Of course it is also a reminder of all that there is to do. But if the weather cooperates I will work on it a bit at a time. My sister is coming over from England for a couple of weeks in early May, so I need to have things tidied up if not planted by then. I do have a number of clumps of ornamental grasses, and I love them except for those days I have to cut back the tops ready for the new growth.

Columbian girls get thumped out of regionals
Wed, March 10, 2010 @ 2:15AM
Yes, the No. 1-ranked team got beat by 41 in the Tuesday's regional semifinals, by the No. 2 team, no less. But I don't think Columbian was so much overrated as unfortunately ranked at No. 1 Don't get me wrong, I think Columbian deserved to be in the rankings this season. The Tornadoes are a very good team, much better than what they showed against Walsh Jesuit. However, after they went unbeaten before losing in the regional semifinals last season, I never considered Columbian to be a serious state-caliber team, deserving of a No. 1 ranking. I voted them no higher than fourth or fifth all season, I believe. Tuesday was a chance to prove otherwise, not necessarily by winning but even by giving Walsh Jesuit a serious challenge. What happened was this: Columbian's success last season had it in voters' minds when the polls started, so the Tornadoes started high. Voters tend to simply keep elevating teams that don't lose over teams that drop a game or two.

Let The Madness Begin
Mon, March 15, 2010 @ 4:30PM
It is a special time of year. The NCAA hoopsfest is about to kick off and companies throughout the country are about to experience a decline in their efficiency. While workers (the term is used loosely here) are watching scores on their computer or in a bar if possible, 65 teams are hoping for peak efficiency to make their seasons last as long as possible. It will be compelling theater for the next two weeks as the top teams will try to avoid the upset. There will be some, there always is. I'll throw a couple at you before I'm done. First, let's set the record straight. For those of you who are lamenting the fact that you're team got screwed by being left out - forget it. This tournament has never been for the BEST 65 teams in the country. If that was the case the smaller conferences would not have automatic representatives. I wouldn't change a whole lot about the selection process though.

Less taxation with less representation?
Fri, March 12, 2010 @ 6:14PM
What if they threw a Congress, but nobody came? According to the U.S. Census Bureau, census information affects the numbers of seats your state occupies in the U.S. House of Representatives. I know what some of you are thinking. ... What would happen if, say, in 2020, every American in every household nationwide cooperated in a grassroots effort to answer the census with “no one is home.” Could it work? Would we actually reduce the size of Congress? Theoretically, at least, that should put a significant dent in the amount of earmarks, not to mention the overhead for staffing and whatnot. We’d still be stuck with 100 senators, but -- if everyone stood together on this -- there only would be 50 representatives, one for every state. Sorry, but the number of representatives was set at 435 in the early 1960s. This year’s census will help divide those 435 among the states.
