As a way for him and his wife to introduce themselves to the rest of the area, they decided to make a float for their 4th of July parade. They decided to make a small replica of one of the nearby school houses and put it on the back of a flatbed trailer. Fogg won first prize for his float. Shortly after the parade, Fogg was contacted and asked to be a volunteer presenter in the Westfield Public School system. His topic of choice was the one-room-schoolhouses that he had just learned a lot of information about. He was a presenter for 10 years.

Judge rules against NCAA in federal antitrust lawsuit By RALPH D. RUSSO Associated Press A judge ruled against the NCAA on Friday night in a federal antitrust lawsuit, saying football and basketball players should be permitted to receive more compensation from schools but only if the benefits are tied to education. The ruling Friday night from U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken in Oakland, California, said the NCAA cannot “limit compensation or benefits related to education.” That means more scholarship money to pursue postgraduate degrees or finish undergraduate degrees, and items that could be considered school supplies such as computers. The plaintiffs in the so-called Alston cases were seeking much more. Plaintiffs had asked the judge to lift all NCAA caps on compensation and to allow schools to provide benefits beyond a scholarship to college athletes. The goal was to create a free market, where conferences set rules for compensating athletes, but this ruling still allows the NCAA to prohibit cash compen- sation untethered to education-related expenses. “It’s still significant that a federal judge ruled the NCAA violated antitrust law, but the rem- edy is relatively narrow and this is certainly not the sea change that the plaintiffs were looking for in college sports,” said Gabe Feldman director of the Tulane University sports law program. The claim against the NCAA and the 11 conferences that have participated at the highest level of college football was originally brought by former West Virginia football player Shawne In this May 13, 2018, file photo, MLB umpire Joe West, right, talks with a player in the ninth Alston and later merged with similar lawsuits, including a notable case brought by former inning during a baseball game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Washington Clemson football player Martin Jenkins.

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR ontract ridge HOROSCOPE C B By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, March 9, 2019: This year, you will be unusually expressive and direct. As a result, others will respond to you differently than they have before. If you’re single, this development could make your love life warm up consider- ably. However, don’t push any relationship to move faster than its normal pace. If at- DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker tached, you like the privacy and relaxation that you experience during one-on-one encounters with your sweetie. ARIES might criticize your style. Honor who you are.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Once again, your mood could be determined by your dream life. If so, you could feel restricted or pushed. As a result, you might decide to change your plans. Mark Buford Once you do, you could find that you’re SCARY GARY off on an adventure. Tonight: Hitting a home run, no matter what you do. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Much goes on behind the scenes. You might not be ready to share what’s occurring, except with a close loved one. One-on-one relating is emphasized when both you and the other party feel valued. Tonight: Opt to be a duo. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Even if you’re not seeing the per- son in question, a friendship will tend to Crosswords occupy your attention during most of the day. You might be hoping for a change be- DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni tween you and the other party. Accepting this person and the status of your relation- ship as he or she is would be best. Tonight: Where your friends hang. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Take charge; decide what your plans are and who you’d like to invite to join you. You might be aware that several of your friends will follow your lead. You need to wear out your inordinately high energy. Tonight: Enjoy being the lead player. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Reach out for a friend at a dis- tance who you generally don’t speak with. B.C. Mastroianni and Hart Make it a point to chat more often with this person. You enjoy him or her and re- lax naturally when connecting. You laugh a lot together. Tonight: Try out a new type of cuisine. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Deal directly with a partner who you care about. At the moment, a child or a flirtation could be difficult. You might choose to distance yourself from or rethink your attitude toward this person. You can count on a family member who is there for you. Tonight: An old-fashioned date. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie HHHH Once again, defer to a partner or friend who seems determined to call the shots this weekend. You might be happy to get out of the house and join a pal or two. Tonight: Don’t be surprised to find yourself at a spontaneous party. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Focus on a project that you want to get done. At the same time, you’ll enjoy some quiet and possibly solitary time at home. You relax and get another opportu- nity to rethink a financial decision. Think, but don’t act. Tonight: Be easygoing. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You cannot and will not con- tain yourself. Your delight at the weekend ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett and being with a loved one outweighs all considerations -- even concern with your budget. Be careful! Tonight: Let the party go on. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Your concern continues to focus on your home and domestic lives. You might want to work through a reticence on your part to really get into a situa- tion. Be willing to reveal more of your thoughts. Tonight: At home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Cryptoquip HHHH Reach out for a neighbor or rela- tive who you care a lot about. You have a great time together but rarely schedule ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe time together. A friend might suggest in- viting this person to a happening that the two of you are going to. Tonight: Let the party go on. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Opt to be less possessive of another person. Remember that everyone has his or her own uniqueness and issues. You might envy this person, but you don’t know the problems that exists in his or her life. Tonight: Make it your treat.
