À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
What could be more fun than experiencing Costa Maya in a custom-made Dune Buggy just like Joe-cool used in the late 60's. Enjoy the feeling of freedom as you drive down the coastline to your special beach getaway.
Your brand new open-top beach buggy awaits you at the pier and after a safety briefing, you will jump into your buggy and set off with your experienced guide leading the way. Your tour commences with a drive through the downtown area of Costa Maya where you will no doubt draw glances from everyone as you cruise on by. A short stop will be made in this colorful fisherman's village during which your guides will give you an orientation as to your location and a brief introduction to the area and points of interest.
Climbing back in your buggy, you will leave the village behind, all the while keeping your eyes open for rare birds and resident iguanas. An exhilarating off-road experience eventually brings you to a beautiful secluded beach where you will enjoy a 1-hour beach break. The beach features all the modern facilities and conveniences so you are invited to make the most of your time here. You can choose to simply relax and kick back on a hammock while enjoying a complimentary snack and soft drink, or stroll down the pristine beach and go for a swim in the inviting waters of the Caribbean Sea. Those who are seeking more activity can engage in a rousing game of beach volleyball.
Following your time at the beach, it's time to jump back aboard your buggy and make the return trek to the pier where your tour concludes.
Please note: This tour includes travel over bumpy and uneven ground. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests, guests with mobility concerns, recent back or neck injuries, heart conditions, epilepsy or pregnant women. Those with diabetes, respiratory conditions or on any form of Blood Pressure medication will not be permitted in the water at the beach. The trails can be very dusty or muddy. Flat, comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes; sun caps; sunglasses and sunscreen (biodegradable) are suggested. Guest wishing to swim should bring a swimsuit and towel. Tour participants taking part in any water activities do so at their own risk and responsibility. The minimum age to participate is 3 years old and the minimum driving age is 21 years old. Those who wish to drive must bring a valid driver's license and be able to drive a manual shift. No one under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be allowed to operate the vehicle. Infant car seats are available upon request. Children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult parent or guardian. Participants may be required to sign a release form before being allowed to take part in this tour. While complimentary chips and salsa are available, additional food items are available at the beach at an extra cost. The cashier accepts only cash, either U.S. dollars or Mexican Pesos.

|Cloverland children need more protection
Dear Editor:
After reading the article in last week's paper about Cloverland's public hearing on the sex-offender ordinance, I?felt I?needed to let the public know what was not written about and why we were all so upset.
To us, a school bus stop is a child-safety zone. It does not matter how many children wait at a bus stop. In fact, it is actually more dangerous when there are only a few children at a bus stop versus several children. If a town hall and boat landings are considered child-safety zones, why then is a bus stop not considered a child-safety zone?We have been requesting the Cloverland Town Board and Plan Commission for their help with our current situation. When we asked for a sex-offender ordinance, town Chairman Scott Maciosek and a few others would point out to us that they were concerned about getting sued from the state.
Finally, Nov. 7, 2012, they agreed to ask the town board to move forward with an ordinance our town attorney, Jack O'Brien, wrote up — an ordinance that we feel had a chance of getting our current sexually violent person removed from Chickaree Lake Rd. The ordinance referred to child-safety zones as "areas where children are likely to be because of transportation or otherwise (school bus stops)."
The ordinance also stated that if a sex offender is in a child-safety zone, "that at the end of their current rental term, in the case of a lease, the registered sexual offender is required to abandon that permanent residence."
These two important parts of the ordinance were completely omitted in the new draft by attorney Steve Garbowicz. The only change that we agree with is the setbacks increasing from 1,000 feet to 2,000 feet.
The state is in the process now of renewing the lease with the landowner. We had an opportunity of possibly feeling safe again in our neighborhood and now, because of the planning commission's decision to go ahead with the ordinance drafted by Garbowicz, that hope is gone.
There were many mistakes made in placing this sexually-violent person across the road from a school bus stop and a family with two little girls. It's summer now and they don't feel safe to play in their own yard.
I wish we could have convinced the plan commission to help us and send a message to the state that they shouldn't be so careless in placing these people. This is an experiment that we feel we have the right to not be a part of. I wish at least our local officials felt the same way. We were not even notified.
In fact, in a letter I?received from state Rep. Rob Swearingen, he told me, "With regards to public notification of the sex offender living in your neighborhood, I was informed there was not an organized meeting scheduled." The Department of Health Services informed Swearingen "that the local law enforcement and local department of health opted out of a meeting."
And yes, Francine Gough, I know this town ordinance wasn't just for my family. To me, it was about the sexually violent person's closest neighbors and other children in Cloverland by making sure a bus stop is considered a child-safety zone. I've also contacted senators and Rep. Swearingen about changing laws in how they place these sexually violent persons. I?would like to sincerely thank those board members — Joe Eisle, Marty Ketterer and Bob Brownell — who tried to help us and for not giving up on our children.

Jones Leads No. 25 FGCU Past USC Upstate, 2-0
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The No. 25 FGCU men's soccer team remained unbeaten in A-Sun conference play following a 2-0 victory over USC Upstate on Friday evening at the FGCU Soccer Complex. Sophomore Deion Jones (Tampa, Fla./Freedom HS) recorded the opening goal and assisted junior Cristian Raudales (Bradenton, Fla./Manatee HS) for the second tally of the night.
With the win, FGCU extends its program-record win streak to five games and improves to 7-2-2 on the season, including 3-0 in the A-Sun. The Eagles also extended their home unbeaten streak to eight games (7-0-1) dating back to last season, and are now 6-0-1 in their last seven A-Sun home contests. USC Upstate now stands at 1-6-3 overall and 0-3 in the conference.
"The guys in the back really controlled the game. They played very smart, they managed the game the best we could ask and they limited their chances," said head coach Bob Butehorn. "I was interested to see how we would play after earning our first-ever national ranking and I was pleased with our effort."
A foul on Upstate in the 19th minute of play gave Jones a free kick opportunity on the left corner of the 18-yard box. Scoring what would prove to be the decisive tally, the sophomore approached the ball and bent an outstanding shot around the right side of the Spartan defensive wall into the left side of the goal to give the Eagles an early 1-0 lead. It was Jones' third goal of the 2010 campaign, and his first game-winner since scoring the decisive goal in the 2-1 win over then-No. 13 USF (Sept. 1).
Neither team would touch the back of the net for the remainder of the half and the Eagles headed to the intermission with a 1-0 lead. FGCU held an 8-2 advantage in shots.
The Eagles added an insurance goal when Raudales became the third player to net three goals on the season. Another free kick opportunity was presented to Jones at the 63:05 mark, this time assisting on a ball sent into the box from 30 yards out that found Raudales in front of the net for a well-executed header goal.
Controlling the tempo for the majority of the game, FGCU went on to take the 2-0 victory and stay unblemished in conference play. The Eagles more than doubled the Spartans' shot total, 15-6, and also took a slim 3-2 advantage in the corner kick count.
With three second half stops, redshirt junior keeper Adam Glick (Leola, Pa./Conestoga Valley HS) wrapped up the contest with four saves, while McCabe deflected six shots on goal in the match. Glick now has 21 victories and 12 shutouts in his FGCU career.
The No. 25 Eagles will remain at the friendly confines of the FGCU Soccer Complex for a Sunday night showdown with regionally-ranked ETSU at 6:00 p.m. Slotted fourth in the A-Sun preseason poll behind FGCU, the Bucs are also behind the Eagles in the NSCAA South Region rankings at No. 9 in this week's poll. ETSU bolsters its ranking with a 1-0 victory over BCS foe Clemson and a 2-1 defeat of four-time NCAA tournament participant Bradley. However, the Bucs head into the weekend matchup with the Eagles following a 2-0 loss at Stetson on Friday evening, bringing their record to 7-3 overall and 2-1 in the conference.

Rising rock band Dashboard Confessional hit the road this fall for a six-week tour to support its new album, A Mark, Mission, A Brand, A Scar. The tour was notable for its highly theatrical lighting by co-designers Jack Funk and Warren Flynn.
"They were interested in going to the next level," says Flynn, who adds that the tour was booked without a significant lighting budget, so lead player Chris Carrabba paid for the gear himself. Interestingly, Flynn says, Carabarra and his bandmates "didn't want flash and trash. They wanted to create a more theatrical look." To achieve this, Flynn, who has worked as a programmer on such Broadway shows as Thoroughly Modern Millie and Wicked, says he and Funk talked to Carrabba "about the story behind the songs," adding that his Broadway work has taught him to focus on narrative when designing. Flynn adds that the look of the tour was "intimate — it was as much about the audience as the band. They're so involved — they sing along with them and sometimes they're almost as loud as the band."
To get the desired theatrical look, Funk and Flynn designed a rig dominated by a series of six towers of varying heights (12', 10', and 8') placed upstage to down. (The towers were covered in frosted Plexiglas®.) On these were placed 12 Martin Mac 2000s, which Flynn calls "the best moving lights on the market right now." (Christie Lights supplied the gear.) Working with house PAR cans and dimmers in each facility, the designers built their looks using lots of deeply saturated colors, along with some pastels and gobos, covering the band from side and high-side positions.
Flynn is known as an advocate of the grandMA console, from MA Lighting (distributed in the US by A.C.T Lighting). Working on a very tight time schedule, he says he and Flynn programmed 22 songs in two days, writing the cues so they could cope with any rearrangements of the playlist ("The grandMA has enough faders to do that," he adds.) They rehearsed with the band at a theatre in Port Chester, NY, where they learned just how important the audience was to the band. "They couldn't understand why the Macs wouldn't get out in the audience fast enough," he says wryly. "They wanted plenty of light on the audience."
Despite considerable challenges in terms of budget and time, the tour came together quickly, to the satisfaction of one and all. Flynn says "Chris liked how it all came together." He notes that he and Funk shared all lighting duties; he also cites the contributions of production manager Brian Bavido, and crew members Michele 'Suki' Dukes, and Mike Flynn. He's particularly proud of the latter, who is also his son, making for two generations of Flynns in the lighting business. Funk served as lighting director for the tour.
The tour ended in November, but the band has a couple of dates in December and is scheduled to go out again in the spring to play a number of bigger venues.

We are a group of engineering students and part of our final project consists of interfacing a microcontroller to a phone (i.e. through a serial port) so that we may have the phone send SMS if the microcontroller software chooses to do so.
What we are not sure of is how to make this connection between the microcontroller and a cell phone. Is this a serial connection? what communication protocol does it use?
Your help on this would benefit our project tremendously. Thank you in advance for your help. Please cc any answers to email@example.com

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Some Minnesota lawmakers are looking to force the release of Lou Gehrig's medical records, saying they might provide insight into whether the Yankees star died of the disease that now bears his name or from repetitive head trauma.
Their effort comes despite opposition from Mayo Clinic, which holds the records, and skepticism from experts that the records would prove anything.
Rep. Phyllis Kahn, a self-described baseball fanatic, concedes the records "probably won't show anything" but says they're worth a look.
The Minneapolis Democrat became intrigued after reading about a study in 2010 that suggested a potential link between repetitive brain trauma in athletes and ALS. She and other lawmakers want to change state law to allow release of health records of patients who have been dead more than 50 years.

2 men accused of shoplifting beer in Tucson

Originally published: Dec 28, 2012 - 8:37 am
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Authorities say two men are in custody for allegedly shoplifting beer from Tucson convenience stores as many as 100 times this year.
Tucson police 35-year-old Robert Bowman and 29-year-old Raymond Monday have been booked into Pima County Jail on suspicion of organized retail theft.
Police say the two men were suspected of stealing four 30-packs of beer from a midtown Circle K.
The Arizona Daily Star says police believe the pair might be connected to between 75 to 100 beer skips.
Police say the shoplifted beer was sold at a home at a discounted price.
Authorities didn't immediately provide information Thursday on whether either Bowman or Monday had lawyers for their cases.

The big catch: Palm Beach Gardens OL Avery Young picks Auburn
By Jeff Greer
The most anticipated decision in Palm Beach County recruiting has been made.
Palm Beach Gardens offensive tackle Avery Young signed a national letter of intent today to play for Auburn, spurning Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Miami. His highly anticipated choice, which was broadcast by ESPN on national television, ended months (and even years) of speculation over where the prized lineman would attend college.
"I'm gonna go War Eagle, baby," Young said, referring to Auburn's fan chant.
In recent days, Miami made a serious push for Young, visiting the hulking senior in Riviera Beach. The Hurricanes landed several other big names in the area, including Miramar cornerback Tracy Howard and West Boca Raton linebacker Jawand Blue.
But it was Auburn that landed Gardens' left tackle, impressing him with a strong official visit this past fall. Young (6-foot-6, 290 pounds, No. 1 on the Big Board) announced his decision in front of a crowded Gardens High auditorium, signing with running back Roshard Burney, who honored his commitment to West Virginia.
The signing tips the scales of the local recruiting lottery, giving Auburn one of the best classes in the area. Auburn also signed Dwyer tackle Patrick Miller, who enrolled early at the school after LSU told him there wasn't room for him in Baton Rouge.

How you can write a rhyming poem,
Write a line, no matter what,
Then find a rhyme (for 'what', try 'not')
Then comes the hard bit, every time
To find a sentence for the rhyme.
You'll often feel that you're a clot,
Trying to end a line with 'not'.
But, don't despair, there'll come a time
When you will find a fitting rhyme.

Steven Gutierrez to Showcase Piece at Ingenuity Festival in ClevelandSteven Gutierrez, Assistant Professor of Digital Media at Lake Erie College, has been accepted to showcase his piece at this year's Ingenuity Festival September 20-22.
His piece "Symbiosis" will demonstrate the symbiotic relationship we have with trees. In symbiosis, Gutierrez projects visuals of oxygen and carbon dioxide that follows the passing audience using video tracking methods. In this way, they can actually see the gas exchange between the virtual trees and themselves.
"I hope that by allowing the viewers to see the oxygen and carbon dioxide projected and interacting with the audience, everyone will be reminded that humans need plants to be able to breathe."
In addition to this piece, Gutierrez with integrated media, digital art and technology major Chas Irish, worked with the Boys and Girls Club of Cleveland to make another art project within the environmental theme. They taught kids from age five through 16 what art and technology is about, how it relates to the environment and how to solder and work with solar panels.
The festival is free and open to the public. It is located on the lakefront north of the FirstEnergy (Browns) Stadium and the Great Lakes Science Center. For hours and directions, click here.

The Perpetual Motion Wall is a long, southeast-facing wall located about 400 meters northeast of The Volcano Formation and slightly southeast of Star Wars Rock. Located atop a rubble pile, and the highest summit in the area, it's southeast face looks out over an enclosed valley guarded by large boulders which makes the approach somewhat tricky.
Getting There
Several approaches are possible, but the easiest is to head east past the south side of The Volcano Formation until the formation comes into view and then scramble up boulders into the valley below the southeast face, where you'll find the route Perpetual Motion (5.10d). This approach is longer, but has the advantage of getting a visual on the wall as you near the formation.

Sneak Peek: Brisbane's New Traders Hotel
A few weeks ago we told you about a Traders Hotel opening its first property in Brisbane, Australia. Now, after an opportunity to see what everyone was talking about, we can bring you our thoughts on the mid-range cousin of the Shangri-La brand.
The official handover from Holiday Inn to Traders took place early August and the transformation has been non-stop since then. Although not 100% complete, the major renovations have been finished and we have to say, they're pretty nice. Designed for most any type of traveler, the decor is comfortable, yet still stylish, sleek and clean.
The room hues and furnishings were carefully considered with fresh colors and design that will still look good in a few years, so no tired decor here. Fairly monochromatic, each room has an accent color of spring green which is nice and modern. We were told that it was chosen for its energetic qualities to revive weary travelers.

Shangri-La's Traders Hotel is Now Open in Brisbane
Traders Hotels is looking to gain some traction in the highly lucrative AustralAsia tourism market with their first property in Brisbane inside a former Holiday Inn. The official handover was completed earlier this month but aside from a new name slapped on the outside, the property has gotten a complete brand overhaul.
If you're not familiar, the Traders brand is an offshoot of the high-end luxury brand, Shangri-La Hotels. Traders hotels offer a mid-market price point yet caters more to the savvy business traveler who likes a little design with their hotel stay. We not talking uber-luxury, but an affordable option with great customer service and quality on-property amenities.

Traders Hong Kong Opens Sunday Smelling Musky Not Musty
We're big fans of both Traders hotels - the more affordable, city brand from Shangri-La – and Hong Kong, too, so the coming together of the two is something we're very excited about. Yes, Traders HK is opening August 1.
It's taking over the hotel-formerly-known-as Hotel Jen, in the Western District, with views of both Victoria Harbour and the Peak. Although it's not being gutted for the takeover, it and its 280 rooms were renovated (as the Jen) in 2008, and the hotel was getting good TripAdvisor reports before it changed hands.

question about 6v batteries
Is it uncommon for a 6v battery to weaken overnight if it is very cold. And if I leave it hooked up to a charger overnight will the charger not continue to charge once it completes thereby harming the battery.. thanks

Re: question about 6v batteries
Simple answer is yes a battery could lose some of it's effectiveness in very cold weather whether it is a 6v or a 12v. Automatic battery chargers sense when the battery had achieved full charge. A battery charger is overkill. A battery maintainer is a good idea especially if your battery is getting a little weak.

I have 4 of them now as well as a dedicated 12v maintainer for a lot of my equipment. I find that if I use the maintainer and keep Ellie's battery well charged I have no problems starting and she usually starts on the 1st or 2nd turn of the starter. A good buy in my mind especially when it is -30C/-30F outside

Re: question about 6v batteries
I have several of the units like Rudi pictured. Different label, but that could just be a Canada/US thing.
Automatically selects between 6V and 12V.
Re: question about 6v batteries
Make sure your battery charger is automatic,so it will do as Rudi said.The chargers will have automatic written on them.You can ruin batteries charging them overnight with without the automatic feature.Don't ask how I know this...LOL
Re: question about 6v batteries
You need to be sure you read the owners manual for the charger you have.
Mine will charge 6v and 12v batteries.
However, the AUTOMATIC Mode only works on the 12v settings.
6v charge is MANUAL, you must disconnect it yourself to stop the charge.

If I had to put money on the line, I'd bet that the Jazz will hold on to the 8th seed in the West and make the playoffs over the Rockets. They currently lead the Rockets by just 1/2 a game, but own the tiebreaker over Houston and all of their remaining games are at home. The Rockets did get some help from Oklahoma City last night when they beat Phoenix, and I think the Suns will continue to fall with games against the Clippers, Spurs, Nuggets, and Jazz remaining.
So to me this comes down to Jazz or Rockets. The Rockets remaining schedule is pretty soft with two games against New Orleans, plus games vs. Golden State, and Miami's B-team (they have the 2nd seed locked up, I'm guessing they'll be resting starters on April 22nd). The Rockets are capable of winning out and getting to 36 wins, but will need the Jazz to lose a game to make the playoffs. Utah's 3 remaining games are against Phoenix, Orlando, and Portland; all at home. If I had to pick the best opportunity for them to slip up and lose one, it'd be Phoenix. If Dwight Howard returns, maybe the Magic game could be a loss too, but he'll probably be resting until the playoffs start. The best case scenario for the Rockets would be for them to win out, the Suns beat the Jazz on April 24th, and then the Suns lose to the Clippers, Nuggets, or Spurs. It's certainly possible, but the Jazz will probably win out. Another year picking at #14; the best darn lottery team in the NBA!

Woman wins discrimination suitJune 15,2013Woman wins
discrimination suit
MONTPELIER A Vermont woman has won a lawsuit saying she was discriminated against by her employer based on her gender and age.
The federal court ruled that because a man can negotiate a higher salary than a woman, that doesnt mean a salary difference is justified.
The Burlington Free Press reported that Wendie Dreves of Grand Isle, who managed the Hudson News retail store at the Burlington International Airport, successfullysued the Hudson Group.
U.S. District Court Judge William Sessions concluded that any gap in the pay of men and women is an implicit statement to our children that we value the work of our daughters less than that of our sons. He said it sends a message that Congress, the Vermont General Assembly, and Court reject.

Tight ends coming to forefront for Patriots
The Patriots' TE trio of Alge Crumpler, Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski have exceeded expectations and become a bright spot in the preseason.
Report: Patriots sign rookies Cunningham, Gronkowski
The Patriots have agreed to terms with two more of their 2010 draft picks, signing OLB Jermaine Cunningham and TE Rob Gronkowski to four-year contracts, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The New England Patriots say they don't have any comment on published reports that Gronkowski has an infection in his broken arm that could keep him out into the season.||||||| The Boston Herald reported on Sunday that Gronkowski has an infection in the area where a metal plate was installed to repair his left forearm. Doctors will have to wait for the infection to go away to replace the plate, and Gronkowski would need 10 weeks after that to recover, the paper said. Patriots spokesman Stacey James said the team doesn't expect to comment on the report.
Gronkowski has undergone surgery on his broken left arm, a person with knowledge of the operation tells The Associated Press. Gronkowski suffered the season-ending injury Sunday when he caught a pass from Tom Brady in the first quarter and landed out of bounds on the arm for an incompletion in New England's 41-28 playoff win over the Houston Texans.||||||| Gronkowski had earlier surgery after breaking his left forearm on Nov. 18 in a 59-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He missed five games and returned for the season finale, a 28-0 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
Gronkowski needs surgery on his broken left arm, a person with knowledge of the injury told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not released details of the injury.||||||| Gronkowski was injured on the Patriots' eighth offensive play of Sunday's 41-28 victory over Houston. He previously missed five regular-season games and is done for these playoffs.
Gronkowski is active for Sunday's playoff game against the Houston Texans.||||||| The record-setting pass-catcher missed five games with a broken left forearm before returning in the regular-season finale. That means he missed New England's 42-14 victory over the Texans on Dec. 10.
Gronkowski caught a 23-yard touchdown pass on Sunday against the Dolphins, his first game after missing the previous five with a broken left forearm.||||||| "It felt good. I haven't gotten hit in a while," Gronkowski said. "I got limited reps (but) you always want to get some reps before heading into the playoffs."

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Aqib Talib was indicted by a Texas grand jury Friday on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
Talib allegedly shot at his sister's boyfriend and tried to hit him with a handgun on March 21 in Garland, Texas — just outside of Dallas. He turned himself in March 30 and posted the $25,000 bond, according to the Tampa Tribune.
Jay Reisinger, Talib's attorney, said in a statement that it is "important to note that the indictment is merely a formal accusation," and that Talib has not been convicted.
"The grand jury was not privy to a number of important facts. We are very confident that once we have the opportunity to present all of the facts, this matter will be resolved in Mr. Talib's favor," the statement said. "Aqib looks forward to putting this matter behind him and returning to the game of football."
Talib, 25, is accused of pointing a 9mm handgun at Shannon Billings, 40, his sister's boyfriend, then swinging the gun at him. Police documents say it slipped out of Talib's hand and fell, and that Billings picked up the gun, which was rendered inoperable after hitting a fence.
According to the documents, Okolo Talib — the player's mother — arrived at the scene, jumped out of her vehicle with a gun and shot at Billings. Talib is accused of shooting that gun several times at Billings after obtaining it from his mother.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) recently inked light heavyweight Houston Alexander to a new five-fight contract extension, locking-in the services of the hard-hitting Nebraskan slugger well into 2009 if the promotion decides to keep him on the roster, according to WrestlingObserver.com.
Alexander was relatively unknown to the masses until he burst onto the scene with two destructive performances inside the Octagon, taking out top contender Keith Jardine in his debut back at UFC 71: "Liddell vs. Jackson" in May 2007 and then crumbling Alessio Sakara at UFC 75: "Champion vs. Champion" less than four months later.
"The Nebraskan Assassin," however, quickly returned to Earth with back-to-back losses to Thiago Silva and James Irvin. In fact, Alexander didn't last more than four minutes combined in those two bouts.
Despite his recent struggles, Alexander remains a fan favorite and a crowd pleaser win or lose. That's more than likely the reason the promotion made the decision to keep him around.
He will have his opportunity to get back on the winning track against Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist Eric Schafer at UFC Fight Night 15 in front of a hometown crowd at the Omaha Civic Auditorium in Omaha. Neb., on September 17.

|Wildcats score late, sink Blue Jays
|Friday, April 05, 2013 11:32 AM
They didn't do so on a brilliant Thursday before a nice crowd against cross-town rival St. John's in the Playing Hardball Against ALS (PHAALS) contest held at Wildcat Field.
They didn't need to as seniors Drew Kortokrax and Zach Ricker combined for a 2-hitter and the 'Cats scored a late run to nab a 3-2 victory.
"This was the first close game we've had since our scrimmages; every other game had been won or lost relatively easily," Jefferson head coach Doug Geary said. "We had to find a different way to win the game. We came up with some big hits. We had our number-9 hitter (Gage Townsend-Schleeter) come up with a sacrifice that helped us score our first run and a big RBI to score the second. This was a great game — we had a warm day with a big crowd against a rival — that gets you ready for the Northwest Conference opener Thursday; every play was significant."
Tied at 2-2 entering the top of the seventh, the Wildcats, the visitors this day, got a leadoff walk to Austin Jettinghoff by St. John's senior starter Troy Warnecke (0-1; 6-plus innings, 6 hits, 3 runs, 1 earned, 5 bases-on-balls, 7 strikeouts; 106 pitches, 67 strikes) and Zach Kimmett barely missed a home run to deep left, hitting off the fence for a double and finishing Warnecke's stint on the mound. Kortokrax greeted lefty reliever Drew Wagner with a fly ball deep enough to center to plate Jettinghoff and move Kimmett to third. Wagner fanned the next two to get out of the inning only down 3-2.
"I probably should have taken Troy out at the start of the inning — we were talking about it between innings — but he earned the benefit of the doubt with how well he pitched," St. John's first-year coach Ryan Warnecke explained. "He kept us in the game. We knew Jefferson could hit the ball and they did; we just couldn't match them, which we knew we had to."
In the bottom half, Ricker (1-0; 2 IPs, 1 hit, 1 unearned run, 3 Ks) hit Ben Wrasman with one down. A wild pitch and an error on the sequence allowed Wrasman to slide into third. However, Ricker put something extra on as he retired the next two via a called third strike and a groundout to end the contest.
The Wildcats loaded the bases in the top of the first on a 1-out double to deep center by Ricker and 2-out free passes to Kimmett and Kortokrax but could not score.
The Red and White got up 1-0 in the second. Zavier Buzard walked to lead it off and an error on Jordan herron's grounder allowed both runners to stay aboard. Gage Townsend-Schleeter bunted both up a base and Ross Thompson (2-for-4) ripped a line shot up the middle to get Buzard home and put runners on the corners.
However, two pop-ups kept the damage at 1-0.
The Blue and Gold got a 2-out free pass to Geise in the third and he stole the next two bases but the Jays couldn't get him in.
The Wildcats went up 2-0 in the fourth. Buzard got on courtesy of an error and scored an out hence as Townsend-Schleeter crushed a 2-bagger to left. Ricker walked with two outs but both runners remained on base.
Kortokrax slashed a 1-out double to the base of the fence in right in the fifth but got no farther.
The Jays slashed their deficit in half in the home half. Clay Courtney got on courtesy of an error and Craig Klausing walked. An out later, both advanced on Ben Wrasman's nibbler and, with Geise at the plate, a wild pitch scored Courtney. Geise walked but Kortokrax registered his eighth and final K to get out of the frame.
St. John's tied it in the bottom half against Ricker. With one down, Ryan Buescher was safe on a fielding error and moved up on a wild pitch. An out hence, Courtney blooped a hit into short left and Courtney, running all the way, scored when the ball wasn't fielded cleanly to knot the score at 2-2. Klausing's fielder's choice ended the inning.
"That's the Drew we saw at the end of his sophomore year. He missed last spring with an injury," Geary added. "He pitched 87 pitches against Van Wert but didn't have the same velocity or control that he had today; it was back. We didn't want him to go over 90 pitches today. Zach gave is outstanding relief today; he really put something extra on his pitches after he hit Wrasman."
"Kortokrax is one heck of a pitcher; we haven't faced anyone this year with that kind of heat and we really got nothing going against him," he added. "We're not used to seeing live pitching; we've been facing coach-pitch, so we're catching up. I think we'll start turning that around as we get more at-bats. We made a couple mistakes fielding the ball that hurt us and that has been a strength for us so far this year."
Both teams return with doubleheader action Saturday: St. John's playing Antwerp and Lincolnview at Lincolnview starting at 11 a.m. and Jefferson hosting Parkway for a noon twin-bill.

Science at the First National Youth Film Festival
Date: Monday 21st October to Friday 8th November 2013
Time: 09:00 AM to 06:00 PM
Location : National Locations
Cost : Free Events
The BFI are launching the UK's first National Youth Film Festival from 21 October – 8 November 2013, and teacher should know all the (free!) things the festival has to offer them.
- Over 1500 cinema screenings of 136 films, including premieres
- Education resources for EVERY film title
- Filmmaking workshops
- Bespoke toolkits for schools to run their own Film Festivals
- Filmmaking competitions
- Film Character Dress Up day on the first day of the festival
- Brilliant speakers (household names in filmmaking)
- Live Q&A with a director
It is designed to bring the curriculum to life (there will be a variety of cross-curricular innovative learning tools provided throughout), as well as being a hugely exciting inspirational experience, which teachers can use as a reward for their pupils.
Films for science teachers and students
The film festival includes Environment film strand called "What on Earth?", and there will be 17 films associated with this strand. The films will look at the amazing planet we live on - Earth. The extraordinarily enormous Universe and the nothingness of space in-between fascinates and frightens us in equal measure. The films in this section look at our relationship with the Earth, with nature and with the creatures that we share the land with, reminding us just how fragile, resilient and precious our world is. But it's not all deadly serious as we trip through the ages bumping into the odd dinosaur and prehistoric man and woman on the way. There's even some talking food too - mmm!
