COLUMBUS Gov. John R. Kasich on Monday invited
Ohioans interested in attending the 2014 State of the State
address in Medina on Feb. 24 to submit their names online at
http://governor.ohio.gov/tickets/ to be eligible for a random
ticket drawing. This is the third year that tickets have been
made available to the public via the lottery.
Ohioans seeking tickets can sign up until 6 p.m. on Feb. 18
and request a maximum of two tickets. Individuals selected for
tickets by random lottery will be notified via e-mail by noon
on Feb. 19.
Since coming into office, Kasich has broken with the prac-
tice of previous governors who delivered their State of the
State addresses at the Statehouse in Columbus. After his first
address there in 2011, Kasich decided to take state government
to Ohioans and since then has delivered the address at Wells
Academy, a public elementary school in Steubenville and the
Veterans Memorial Civic and Convention Center in Lima.

DELPHOS City council tidied
up loose ends on the proposed one-
quarter-percent income tax increase
voters will see on the ballot on May 6.
Council had failed to pass a neces-
sary ordinance prior to passing the
resolution to place the earned income
tax increase on the ballot. Council
suspended the rules and passed on
emergency the ordinance stating the
need for the tax increase and the
resolution to place the measure on
the ballot.
The additional tax, if passed, will
generate $400,000 to be used for
parks and recreation.
Mayor Michael Gallmeier said he
is in the process of setting up inter-
views with six potential candidates
for the safety service director posi-
tion. He will let council know once
those meetings have been set.
Council also suspended the rules
and passed on first reading an ordi-
nance amending the contract with
Fenson Contracting for the Gressel
Drive water line project.
According to Fenson, when the
new line was tested, the old valves on
the pre-existing lines failed and more
materials and labor was needed to fix
the problem. Fenson asked for and
received $4,139.19.
Nathan Lee of Lee Restoration
has petitioned council for water and
sewer services to his property on
Grone Road. Council agreed to offer
the services to Lee if he signs an
agreement to annex the property into
the city within one year. A 10-inch
sanitary sewer line is within 100 feet
of the business and a storm sewer
is also available to tap into for the
property.
Ordinances allowing an agreement
for contracting with the Allen County
Sheriffs Office for dispatching servic-
es, to establishing the new position of
records clerk for the police department
and allowing a 1-year extension on the
citys refuse and recycling contract
with Allen County Refuse were heard
on second reading.
Councilman Kevin Osting asked
for a job description for the records
clerk before the next meeting.
I am not going to vote for this
until I know what the clerks are going
to be doing, Osting said.
An ordinance establishing the
employee share of health insurance
fees which includes Patient Centered
Outcomes Research Institute, reinsur-
ance fees and market share fees was
defeated on third reading. The city
will pick up the tab for fees unless
further legislation is introduced.
Council also declined to amend
the citys policy for overtime com-
pensation for non-collective bargain-
ing unit employees. As currently
written, the policy states employees
can bank up to 40 hours of comp
time to be taken at a later date at
straight time.
We have to stop letting employ-
ees build up all this time that has to
be paid out in one lump sum when
they quit or retire, Osting said. We
havent prepared for that and with the
budget the way it is now, we wont be
able to.

Mother Nature fulfilled the forecast Tuesday evening with snow arriving in
Delphos at approximately 4:30 p.m. and blanketing the streets by 8 p.m. According
to Interim Safety Service Director Sherryl George, Delphos has an ample supply of
salt for this storm. (Delphos Herald/Stephanie Groves)
Salt problem lies in distribution
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
City officials in local
communities have been busy
preparing for the next round
of snow events forecasted for
the region. Lima and Delphos
officials had enough salt to
take care of the roadways for
this snow event. In contrast,
Van Wert has had a difficult
time getting another delivery
of the ice-melter.
Early Tuesday, Van Wert
Safety Service Director Jay
Fleming said his crews and
plows were ready but at that
time, they didnt have much
salt to use on the roads. Fleming
said the city has never used this
much salt before and that they
could only take delivery of the
amount they could store.
Spencerville hires
Flowers as solicitor
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
SPENCERVILLE
Spencerville Village Council
hired Jason Flowers of
Huffman, Kelley, Brock &
Gottschalk, LLC, in Lima as
its village solicitor.
Mayor P.J. Johnson
announced he and coun-
cil members had inter-
viewed two candidates for
the position and after the
interviews, council agreed
Flowers would be the best
fit for the village. He will
take the position effective
March 1.
Both candidates were
given the scope of the duties
and responsibilities, Johnson
said. The annual contract of
$11,000 will be based upon
future needs with the water
treatment plant.
Johnson said the candi-
date is fully aware of what
is happening with the project
and the firms have experts
in those areas. He said any
work over and above regular
duties will be charged to the
village at a rate of $150 per
hour.
Furthermore, the village
will be made aware of any
over and above charges ahead
of time.
I will call the candidates
with our decision and work
on the ordinance and con-
tract, Johnson said.
Council approved the sec-
ond reading of an ordinance
allowing a one-time carry-
over of accrued vacation time
for village employee Darin
Cook. Members also sus-
pended the rules and passed
on first reading an ordi-
nance creating a new Police
Enforcement Fund.
Members approved paying
the villages bills in the sum
of $18,552.
Village Administrator
Sean Chapman gave an
update on the progress of the
water treatment plant project
(WTP). He said the meet-
ing with Industrial Fluid
Management (IFM) and
Peterman Associates yielded
a discussion and clarification
of the current and proposed
operations of the villages
three wells and how they are
controlled.

But the April 15th Deadline for
IRA Contributions Isnt.
You have only so many years to prepare for
retirement. Thats why contributing to your
Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is so important.
Fortunately, you still have time to maximize your
2013 IRA contribution before the April 15th deadline.
Choices from the Ground
Up is weekly Media In
Education (MIE) series
sponsored by:
Media
In Education
Sharing health & hope
The entries in Media in Education (MIE) coloring contest are in and the winners
have been selected. People all the way from the Ohio counties of Miami north to
Wood, from Hardin west to Van Wert added color to two black-and-white garden
scenes that were printed in their local newspaper.
Entrants used crayons, markers, glitter, beads and even pipe cleaners to bring
the pages to life. Some sent in poems, too. All of the vibrant, happy pages will be
displayed in West Central and Northwest Ohio health and senior living facilities in
February as a colorful Garden of Health and Hope to brighten up winter days.
Spring has sprung, come join the fun, and sing
dum, dee, dee, dum.
Hop along Pop, Mom drop your mop
And come hear the spring bells ring.
-Melissa L. Valle, Deshler (written at age 8)
Being healthy is a very big job
Because if you get sick youll feel like a slob.
You wont have any fun
If you cant do your cross country run.
You have to eat your veggies to stay nice and
strong
So you can run and play for very long.
Stay healthy as long as you can
So you can live long with a great plan
-Alyssa Stark, Sylvania
Seeing the owers bloom and the birds ying
and the rabbits and other animals running around.
The fresh fruit on the trees and the vegetables
in the garden and enjoying the spring air and
the sunshine.Thats what makes me happy and
healthy by seeing everything in bloom and
growing in the garden.
