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

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.

Woman claims
to have been
abducted, assaulted
Information submitted
VAN WERT Van Wert
Police are investigating a
reported possible abduction
and felonious assault in Van
Wert. The dispatch center took
a call at 6:55 a.m. Tuesday
from a woman who claimed
that she had been held for
more than 24 hours before she
was able to escape.
A search warrant was issued
for 412 1/2 S. Washington St.
and the warrant was execut-
ed at 10:46 a.m. the same
day. Evidence found at the
scene by the Van Wert Police
Special Response Team led to
the arrest of two men.
Elmeco R. Crisp, 38, for-
merly of Van Wert but now
listed at a Lima address was
arrested on charges of abduc-
tion and felonious assault.
James D. Wilson, 57, who
lives at the home that was
searched, was arrested for
felonious assault.
The two men are being
held at the Van Wert County
Correctional Facility. No fur-
ther details have been released
at this time. The investigation
into the incident is continuing.
1 child dies, 1 hospitalized after cruise incident
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP)
A 4-year-old boy died
and a 6-year-old boy was
revived and taken to a North
Carolina hospital after both
were pulled from a cruise
ship swimming pool off
the states coast Monday,
according to officials who
offered few additional details
Tuesday.
Norwegian said on its
Facebook page that the
ships emergency medical
team responded to a report
that the children were unre-
sponsive on its pool deck
and quickly administered
CPR.
After extensive efforts,
the younger child could not be
revived, the Facebook post
read. We extend our deep-
est sympathies to the family
during this extremely difficult
time and are providing full
assistance and support.
It was unclear wheth-
er the boys were related.
The survivor was flown
to CarolinaEast Medical
Center in New Bern with
his grandmother and a
nurse from the ship. The
boy was later transferred to
Vidant Medical Center in
Greenville. Hospital spokes-
woman Chris Mackey said
Tuesday that the boys par-
ents did not want the boys
condition shared with the
public.
Norwegian Breakaway, an
18-deck ship with a capacity
of 4,000 passengers, is one
of the cruise lines newest
ships and has a New York
City theme with a colorful
mural on the exterior hull
designed by pop artist Peter
Max featuring images of
the Manhattan skyline and
Statue of Liberty. The ves-
sels year-round home port is
Manhattan.
It has several pool areas,
including an aqua park with
a play area for young chil-
dren. Theres also a super-
vised program for children
ages 3 to 17 called Splash
Academy.
Norwegian Cruise Line
spokeswoman AnneMarie
Mathews declined to spec-
ify at which pool the chil-
dren were found. She also
declined to say whether the
children signed into care at
Splash Academy or were
supervised by their family.
Except for Disney Cruise
Line, pools aboard cruise
ships usually are not watched
by lifeguards and swimming
is at the patrons own risk,
though Norwegian ships
have specific pools for chil-
dren, said Andrew Coggins,

Child traffic deaths drop
43 percent over decade
ATLANTA (AP) Children are dying
less often in traffic accidents: Over a decade,
the number who died in crashes dropped by
43 percent, according to a new government
report.
Health officials say the increased use of car
seats and booster seats drove the decline. Still,
one-third of the children 12 and under who
died in 2011 were not buckled up.
The first step is buckling up. Every child,
of every age, on every trip, said Dr. Tom
Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
The CDC report focused on crash deaths
of children 12 and under and covered 2002
through 2011, when traffic fatalities overall
declined to levels not seen since the 1940s.
Young children traditionally have been
only a small fraction of total traffic deaths. In
the last year of the study, children accounted
for 650 of the 21,000 deaths of drivers and
passengers. Preliminary CDC figures for 2012
show child deaths continued to fall, to 637.
Children arent going drinking, and theyre
not typically out at night, said Jonathan
Adkins, deputy director of the Governors
Highway Safety Association.
Teens and young adults account for the
largest share of deaths, he added.
The CDC study was not designed to answer
why the deaths of younger children declined.
But experts credited a large growth in state
laws requiring car seats and booster seats, and
in programs that promote buckling kids up.
But theres been a racial disparity in how
well thats worked. Almost half of the black
and Hispanic children who died in crashes
in 2009 and 2010 were not in safety seats or
wearing seat belts, compared to a quarter of
white deaths, according to the CDC.
That may be related to income, experts
said. Car seats can run well over $100 and be
challenging to install. Larger proportions of
minority families may have trouble getting the
money or help to put them in. Frieden noted
there are community programs that provide
help and subsidies for car seats.
Health officials urge parents to keep all
children 12 and under in the back seat, and
use car seats and booster seats until seat belts
fit properly. They recommend that car seats
should face the rear up to age 2.
Last month, the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration proposed new regula-
tions to better protect kids in car seats from
side-impact crashes.

Morrison presents
Treasures of Americas
Civil War Battlefields
Information submitted
CELINA The Feb. 27 meeting of the Western Ohio Civil
War Roundtable will feature speaker Denny Morrison.
Morrison of Bluffton explores Civil War battlefields with
a hi-tech metal detector. He has hunted the Treasures of
Americas Civil War Battlefields in many of the places we
remember from history or have discussed in our meetings.
Morrisons presentations are fun, informative and fast mov-
ing. His presentation for the meeting will showcase some of his
most interesting trips and some items gathered (legally) from
the 150-year-old fields. He will also explain how those items
related to the soldiers who lost them.
The meeting will take place at 7:15 p.m. at Wright State
University Lake Campus in Celina in Room 117 Dwyer
Hall. All are invited to attend.

Ohio: 16 wildlife officers did no on-duty hunting
COLUMBUS (AP) Sixteen
of 18 wildlife officers a watchdog
said illegally hunted while on duty
have been cleared by the state
and were returned to their jobs on
Tuesday.
The officers have their guns,
trucks and law enforcement pow-
ers back after being on administra-
tive assignments since December
as an internal review was conduct-
ed, Ohio Department of Natural
Resources spokeswoman Bethany
McCorkle said.
One officer, in Highland County,
has been referred for further disci-
plinary review, McCorkle said.
Another officer, in Columbiana
County, has retired.
McCorkle said the state review
uncovered new evidence unavail-
able to Inspector General Randall
Meyer. She said phone records,
logs and individual accounts
determined the officers, who all
have home offices, werent on
duty when they hunted.
These officers take great pride
in their work, and were pleased
to have them back on the job,
McCorkle said. This was never
about their integrity. It was a
record-keeping issue.
Meyer had requested to inter-
view the officers, which they
declined.
Meyer had found in comparing
deer harvest and payroll records
that the officers had hunted while
on duty or were off duty at the
time their deer harvests were
recorded and therefore falsified
payroll records to collect pay for
hours not worked.
The inspector generals report,
issued in December, said lack
of accountability and supervi-
sion along with failure of wild-
life officers compliance with the
communication policy was not
only a legal issue but a safety
concern.
Meyer launched the probe after
an earlier investigation resulted
in the convictions of two Brown
County officers. He said he sus-
pected it was more than an iso-
lated incident.
McCorkle said Meyers com-
parison of deer harvest and pay-
roll records failed to tell the whole
story. She said the investigation
considered officers on duty once
they entered their vehicles, though
they have very flexible sched-
ules that can include making
checks from home in the mornings
and attending public meetings at
night.
The state has put new record-
keeping protocols and officer edu-
cation requirements in place to
prevent similar problems in the
future, she said.
The departments 140-member
Wildlife Division has at least one
wildlife officer in each of the states
88 counties. Officers returned to
work Tuesday in Adams, Belmont,
Butler, Champaign, Columbiana,
Defiance, Fayette, Franklin,
Gallia, Geauga, Hocking, Holmes,
Mercer, Sandusky, Stark, Vinton
and Wyandot counties.
According to Meyers findings,
the Highland County officer har-
vested deer while on state time on
two dates in late 2009. On a third
date in January 2011 he harvested
a deer on state time or his work
hours were reported improperly,
the watchdog reported.

Auditors reach out on
homestead exemptions
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
This years changes in the State
Budget has impacted the Homestead
Exemption, which is a form of prop-
erty tax relief that results in a reduc-
tion in real estate taxes for those
who qualify. The exemption is an
additional reduction in real estate
taxes beyond the other property tax
deductions and rollbacks that prop-
erty owners will continue to receive.
Allen County Auditor Rhonda
Eddy-Stienecker said there has been
a massive marketing push to get the
information out to the folks who are
not registered for the program.
We created brochures and sent
them out to social groups and passed
them out at the Allen County Fair
during Senior Citizens Day, she
said.
Eddy-Stienecker reported that at
the end of tax year 2013, the county
had 8,302 taxpayers enrolled in the
Homestead Exemption, which saved
taxpayers a total of $3,3000,581, an
average of $397 per year.
Putnam County Auditor Robert L.
Benroth said the change in the law
makes it harder for people to qualify.
Before, the exemption was age-
based those who turned 65
or were permanently disabled were
qualified, Benroth said. Now, it is
income-based and includes individu-
als making a $30,500 Ohio Adjusted
Gross Income (OAGI) or less.
Benroth explained that the tax-
payer receives a discount up to
$25,000 in market value $8,750
assessed value 35 percent on
their value and the tax savings var-
ies depending on the tax rate in each
district.
For example, residents living in
Ottawa are subject to taxes from
the county, city, school district and
township where they live, Benroth
detailed.
He said for tax year 2013, there
were 2,565 taxpayers receiving the
Homestead Exemption, which saved
each taxpayer $254.35 to $400.25.
The total homestead reduction for
the county was $797,992.
Van Wert County Auditor Nancy
Dixon said there are 2,897 tax-
payers enrolled in the Homestead
Exemption, which saves each tax-
payer between $274.40 and $398.44
per year on their taxes.
The grandfather clause is por-
table and can be used in any Ohio
county a resident would move to,
Dixon stated. It allows anyone who
qualifies for the 2013 tax year to be
accepted without income verifica-
tion.
Dixon emphasized it is very
important that taxpayers who quali-
fy under the grandfather clause are
aware of this reduction. She said
anybody with questions on qualify-
ing for the exemption or who needs
help with the paperwork can call or
come into the auditors office. She
said the paperwork can be mailed to
the resident.
To qualify for the Homestead
Exemption without means-testing
(income verification), a property
owner must have turned 65 years
old in 2013 or earlier; or be totally
and permanently disabled as of Jan.
1, 2013, as certified by a licensed
physician or psychologist, or a state
or federal agency; or be the surviv-
ing spouse of a person who was
receiving the previous Homestead
Exemption at the time of death and
where the surviving spouse was at
least 59 years old on the date of
death.
To qualify for the Homestead
Exemption with means-testing, an
individual must have turned 65 years
old in 2014 or later or be totally and
permanently disabled as of Jan. 1 as
certified by a licensed physician or
psychologist, or a state or federal
agency and have an Ohio Adjusted
Gross Income (OAGI) of less than
$30,500.
The application requires individu-
als to show evidence of age, such as
a drivers license, birth certificate,
or Medicare Card. For more infor-
mation, call these county auditors
offices: Allen 419-228-3700 ext.
8794, Putnam 419-523-6686 and Van
Wert 419-238-0843.
Health director
to return to
private practice
COLUMBUS (AP)
Ohios governor says the state
health director is stepping
down later this month to return
to private medical practice.
Director Theodore Wymyslo
has led the Ohio Department of
Health since 2011. He previ-
ously worked as a family phy-
sician in Montgomery County.
Gov. John Kasich said in a
statement Tuesday he respect-
ed Wymyslos desire to return
to practicing medicine and
working with patients.
Wymsylo has advocated
for so-called patient-centered
medical homes, a model of
primary care focused on
keeping patients healthy.
Hes also had a prominent
role recently in an abortion
clinics closure.
Wymsylo revoked the
license of a suburban
Cincinnati clinic and ordered
it closed, questioning whether
it followed rules to provide
patient backup care.
A judge on Friday allowed
the clinic to remain amid a
court fight.
Girls spent days
in apartment
after dad died
COLUMBUS (AP) A
central Ohio coroner still
hasnt determined what killed
a man whose two young
daughters apparently spent
several days in their apartment
with his dead body.
Franklin County coroner
Dr. Jan Gorniak tells The
Columbus Dispatch that she
is waiting on toxicology tests
to help determine what caused
the death of 48-year-old Earl
Davis.
Columbus police said offi-
cers forced their way into the
apartment last Thursday night
and found Davis body. His
two daughters, ages 5 and 6,
were hiding upstairs.
Heart Land Patriots plan free screening of movie, Agenda
Information submitted
VAN WERT Your Van Wert County Heart
Land Patriots begin 2014 with a showing of the
critical movie AGENDA as the feature event
of their next meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the
Youth Room of the Trinity Friends Family Life
Center, 605 North Franklin Street, Van Wert.
AGENDA was birthed as the product of a
Letter To The Editor written by Idaho leg-
islator Curtis Bowers concerning the drastic
changes which had taken place in the American
culture. Bowers letter produced a fire-storm of
reaction as for weeks after, local newspapers
were filled with responses from readers. In addi-
tion, folks protested at the State Capitol, and it
became the subject of a feature news story on
television. Bowers carefully leads viewers on a
fascinating, historically-accurate journey, inves-
tigating the people and groups that have success-
fully targeted Americas morality and freedoms
in their effort to grind down America.
Produced in 2010, AGENDA features inci-
sive facts and revelations from more than 15
conservative voices across the religious and
political landscape. The voices heard in the
film faithfully sound the alarm concerning the
continuing deterioration of the liberties long
enjoyed by Americans, and the moral strengths
which at one time characterized the American
populace. The Patriots strongly encourage area
residents to invest the time to view this film,
and follow the steps outlined in the closing
moments which provide a genuine hope to stop
Americas decline.
Further information on the Patriots or the
film may be obtained by contacting the Rev.
Keith Stoller at 419-968-2869.

Weather strands car
near Eicher home
BY LOVINA EICHER
It is Thursday morning
and the temperature is 14
degrees. That seems warm
after all of these sub-zero
temperatures weve had all
week.
The children returned to
school this morn-
ing after being off
since last Friday
due to the extreme
cold temperatures.
My husband Joe
and daughter
Elizabeth were
home on Monday
and Tuesday from
the factories due
to the bad weath-
er.
We barely saw any traffic
go by during those two days.
It was still dark on Tuesday
morning when a lady came
to our door asking for help
to get her car out of a ditch
close by our house. She was
on her way home from work
and said our house was the
only one with lights on. Joe
and the boys went to help
shovel her car out of the
snow and get her back on
the road. They had to dress
warm and were cold by the
time they were back in the
house. The temperature was
18 below zero with the wind
chill even colder.
Yesterday was the funeral
of my Aunt Frances, age
79, from Berne, Ind. We
regret that we were unable
to attend because of the bad
weather. Our most deepest
sympathy goes to the fam-
ily. They, too, are without
both their parents now. That
makes such a lonely feeling
and I can sympathize with
them. Frances is my Dads
sister and is the fourth of the
13 siblings to pass. Life sure
brings changes in different
ways.
I recently had a letter
from my oldest sister Leah
announcing the exciting
news of the birth of her
daughter Elizabeths third
child named Rosemarie.
This makes six grandchil-
dren for Leah and Paul.
Brother Amos and Nancy
have 11 grandchildren.
Little Harley Coblentz
born recently to nephew
Joe and Amanda
is grandchild
No. 9 for brother
Albert and Sarah
Irene. What made
Harleys appear-
ance so special is
that he is the first
grandson after
eight granddaugh-
ters. My parents
would be so proud
of their 25 great-
grands to enjoy and spoil
but our dear Lord had other
plans for them. We never
want to question His ways.
It always gives me a sad
feeling that our three oldest
children are the only ones
of our children who really
remember much about their
grandparents. They were
such loving grandparents
but our Heavenly Father
knows best.
Last Friday turned out
to be a very cold day but
with many willing hands,
9,000 sub sandwiches were
made by 12:30 p.m. This
was to help a local Amish
family with their hospital
bills. Im guessing 175-200
people gathered to help with
this event. What a blessing
to help each other in times
of need.
Daughter Susans 18th
birthday was that day so we
celebrated that evening with
sub sandwiches, Swiss roll
bars (which she preferred
over cake) and ice cream. It
was an easy meal after being
gone during the day to help
make the subs.
While the children were
home yesterday, we baked
chocolate chip cookies and
made noodles.
Susan cut her and Mose
out two new outfits. The
material was part of her gift
from Mose. She is taking
more of an interest in sew-
ing and wants to sew the
outfits with me coaching
her.
Last week I cut out and
sewed three dresses for
daughter Verena. She is in
need of more dresses. I want
to teach her how to sew her
own dresses, too, but am
short one sewing machine
due to it needing adjust-
ments. I keep hoping our
good friend Terry will show
up at our front door one
day when he gets back in
the area. He always does a
good job of getting it back
in working order.
The last few times we
made noodles I have used
a different recipe and really
liked it better than the one I
usually used. I will share it
with you and see if you will
like it too.
NOODLES
3 cups egg yolks (usually
1 dozen yolks make a cup)
1 cup boiling water
3 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons vegetable
oil
3 pounds flour
Beat egg yolks really well
then add water, salt, and oil.
Keep beating while adding
water, salt and oil. Pour egg
mixture over the flour and
mix together very well. Put
in an airtight container for
10 minutes before rolling
out and cutting or putting
through noodle cutter.

PAULDING The St. Johns girls cag-
ers took the lead later in the first period and
eventually rolled up a 55-38 non-conference
victory over Paulding Monday
night in The Jungle of Paulding
High School.
Pacing the Lady Blue Jays
(6-13) were sophomore post
Sydney Fischbach with a game-
high 19 markers and seven boards,
freshman Madilynn Schulte with
12 (3 treys) and eight from junior
Rebekah Fischer (2 bombs).
For the Lady Panthers (5-12),
sophomore Jaycie Varner netted
eight and seven each by senior
Sierra McCullough and junior
Suzanne Reinhart.
Both teams struggled to find the points in
the first period: the Jays due to poor shooting
4-of-17 from the field (16-of-46 overall,
5-of-18 from 3-land, for 34.8%) and the
Panthers due to eight turnovers (24 overall,
14 for the visitors) against St. Johns full-court
man defense, though they canned 4-of-6 shots
(13-of-28 for the night, 1-of-2 downtown, for
46.4%). Schulte popped off the bench for five
points, including the 3-ball from the left wing
at 1:40 that gave the Blue and Gold the lead at
9-8, from which they never trailed. Her third-
chance basket at 10 ticks put them up 11-8.
The Jays continued to build to their lead in
the second period ever so slowly. Pauldings
6-0 freshman, Faith Vogel picked up her
second foul at 6:25. Five different Blue Jays
scored at least a point but they
only shot 3-of-10 in the stanza,
while Paulding registered six more
miscues against the Jays half-court
defensive plan. The Jays biggest
lead of the half was 20-12 on a free
throw by Schulte at 1:05 before
a countering single by Brooke
Combs at 52.9 ticks made it 20-13
at halftime.
We seemed to be walk-
ing through our cuts the first half
instead of going hard, Jays coach
Dan J. Grothouse explained. That
affected our shooting; we werent
getting clean looks. Defensively, we were
solid most of the game. We gave up a little
more paint penetration than wed like but
we generally contained them and didnt give
them open looks.
The Jays started to heat up in the third
stanza, hitting 5-of-9 from the floor. However,
they got to the line 10 times and hit nine
(18-of-27 for the game for 66.7%), with
Fischbach leading the way with 7-of-8 (9
points in the canto). The Panthers were 6-of-
8 at the line themselves (11-of-16 overall
for 68.8%). The Jays enjoyed their biggest
advantage at 39-23 on a pair of tosses by
Fischbach at 24.3 ticks before a 3-point play
the old way by Abby Pease at 10.5 ticks and
a 19-foot jumper in transition by Blue Jay
junior Rebekah Fischer at 2.1 ticks accounted
for a 41-26 St. Johns lead.
As Paulding tried to rally in the fourth,
getting the opening basket at 7:42 by
McCullough, Schulte hit a pair of triples to
make sure it didnt happen. The Jays finished
the outing with a 14-12 edge in the finale.
Our problem, as usual, was one quarter.
Generally this year, its been the third and
it was true again tonight, Paulding coach
Lyndsi Schultz explained. We just couldnt
score nor could we stop them. We got a cou-
ple of key players Abby and Brooke in
foul trouble. We did better the second half
handling the ball but their half-court defense
in particular gave us trouble, which we knew
would be the case.
St. Johns ended up with 33 rebounds
(16 offensive) as junior Halie Benavidez and
freshman Jessica Geise added four each and
19 fouls. Schulte dished three assists.
Paulding amassed 22 caroms (2 offensive)
as Vogel and Varner had four each and 19 fouls.

Thompson heading to
Columbus and ODU
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Today is National Signing Day for high
school football players to make it official where they will
continue their gridiron careers
at the next level and sign their
national letters-of-intent.
Jefferson senior Ross
Thompson verballed his choice
a month ago but made it public
today as he will attend Ohio
Dominican University and play
for the Division II Panthers.
They are an up-and-com-
ing team. They went 10-1
last year (losing in the open-
ing round of the Regionals)
and won the GLIAC (Great
Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference) last fall,
Thompson explained. Their
head coach, Bill Conley, was a
long-time defensive line coach
for Ohio State University under
Earle Bruce, John Cooper and Jim Tressel. Hes forgotten more
about football than a lot of people know.
Another reason Thompson gave was how friendly the
coaching staff, led by Conley, seemed on his visits.
I know a lot of coaches are nice when they are with
their recruits, he explained. I talked to a couple of guys I
know that play there: Derek Rieman of Columbus Grove and
Anthony Sumpter of Elida; they both told me the coaches
know when to be friends and when to be coaches. I also
attended a couple of camps and got the same impression; they
know how to turn it off and on when they need to. Thats what
made it seem genuine concern for me.
Being in Columbus is also a drawing card for me and my
major Public Relation and Marketing. Its in a cove, almost
secluded, and yet a 5-minute walk away and there is East End
Mall and OSU isnt that far away. If I want the hustle and bustle
of the big city, its not far away. Plus, its only about 2-hours
drive away, so its easy for my parents and other family to come
and attend games. My grandparents also live in Columbus.
On the radar most of the process were teams like Ashland,
with Youngstown State a late caller once he verballed.
However, all things put together came up the Panthers.
We had a pile at the start that kept building and we whittled
them down over time, he said.
The all-over defender for the Wildcats noted his position at
the next level is inside linebacker.
Right now, they have a junior guy coming back there,
Warren Shields. There are no guarantees as to playing time as
a freshman, though; its open, Thompson added. All they tell
me is to work hard from here on out and see what happens. Next
Wednesday, they will send all their scholarship recruits their off-
season program to use until summer. They will then have what
is called an Accountability Day where they will time me in the
40 (yard dash), the bench and a few other lifts, just to make sure
I havent slacked off and Ive been working the program. They
want me to come in at 230-235 pounds Im 6-2, 220.
Its relaxing to have this out of the way. Im relieved; its
nice to have it over with and I can focus on the rest of basket-
ball season, then baseball in the spring. I will be working out
as well, which I would have been anyway.
Lady Lancers use defense to stymie Musketeers
By JOHN PARENT
DHI Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
FT. JENNINGS The Lincolnview Lady Lancers used strong
defensive pressure and some timely baskets to establish a lead over
Fort Jennings on Monday night, then salted the game away with a red-
hot shooting fourth quarter.
Lincolnview claimed a 46-32 non-conference victory at the Fort.
The game was played near dead-even for the first quarter-and-a-
half thanks largely to a 3-for-13 shooting performance by
the Lancers in the first quarter.
The Fort Jennings size was an issue early on for the
Lancers as Kylie Jettinghoff opened the scoring for the
Musketeers and Cassie Lindemans lay-in gave Fort
Jennings a 6-4 advantage.
The Lady Musketeers scored on each of their first two possessions
of the second quarter when Lindeman knocked down a 13-foot jumper
and senior Emily Kehres followed with a hoop on the low block, giv-
ing Jennings the 10-7 lead.
Unfortunately for the home team, they would manage just a single
free throw the rest of the half and suffered through a 2-for-16 shooting
performance.
The Lady Lancers held a 17-11 lead at the break.
The shooting woes that hampered Jennings moved across the floor
to the Lincolnview side in the third, as the Lancers misfired on their
first seven shot attempts.
The Musketeers, who trailed by as much as nine at 20-11, chipped
away. Lindeman got inside to cut the lead to seven, then came away
with a steal and a layup to get it down to five.
After an Ashton Bowersock baseline jumper made it 22-15,
Lancers, For Jennings ripped off six straight to close within one at
22-21 and Jettinghoffs hoop from the low block closed the Musketeers
again within one at 24-23.
Fort Jennings shot for the lead but Gabby Clippingers jumper
missed the mark, leading to a long rebound for Lincolnview. Junior
Julia Thatcher grabbed the board and raced down the floor, picking up
contact on her way to the hoop. Thatcher converted the old-fashioned
3-point play with 21 seconds showing on the third-period clock and
Lincolnview had survived a 3-for-14 performance with the lead intact.
Thats kind of been Julias calling card, noted Lancer head coach
Dan Williamson. For about the last month or so, shes had a knack for
stepping up when we need her to and making a big play.
In the final period, it was all Lancers.
Lincolnview connected on 8-of-14 from the field in the fourth and
outrebounded the Musketeers 17-5 in the second half to win going
away.
That rebounding difference was key, according to Williamson: We
gave up (11) offensive rebounds in the first half and we gave them just
one in the second half. I think that was the key, was keeping them off
the offensive glass.
Musketeer coach Rhonda Liebrecht was unavailable for comment.
Fort Jennings claimed an 18-14 victory in the junior varsity contest,
which was limited to two quarters of play.
Lincolnview is at Ada Thursday, while Fort Jennings is at Elida 2
p.m. Saturday (makeup game).
Lady Jays rack up cage victory
Thompson
T-Birds use quickness, pressure
D to disrupt Blue Jays
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
LIMA The kind of quick-
ness and athleticism the Lima
Central Catholic boys cagers
have is difficult to simulate in
practice.
St. Johns found that out in
the contest with its long-time
archrival Tuesday night at Msgr.
E.C. Herr Gymnasium, with the
Thunderbirds using its assets to
bounce the Jays 57-33 in front of
a less-than-full crowd due to the
snowstorm striking the area.
That defense, both full-court
and half, held the Jays (10-5)
to 12-of-38 shooting (5-of-17
downtown) for 31.6 percent and
forced 15 miscues. They used
the long arms of 6-4 sophomore
Dantez Walton (10 markers, 5
boards) to be at the top of their
press and harass shooters like
Ryan Koester (6 points).
We were shell-shocked from
the start. You cant simulate what
they have in practice; you can
talk about it and see it on film but
until it hits you, you really dont
get a handle on it, St. Johns
coach Aaron Elwer acknowl-
edged. We stayed with them the
first period but it eventually got to
us as the game wore on. They are
so deep and athletic.
That is the plan, according to
LCC (13-2) coach Frank Kill.
We knew wed have to be
disciplined early because St.
Johns was going to be patient
and basically we were. We gam-
bled a couple of times and paid
for it but mainly, we were sound,
Kill said. Montez in particular is
such a key for us. Hes 6-4 but
he has a 6-7 wing span; thats a
long of length to start with. He
may not get the steals but he gets
the deflections that lead to steals.
Once we got a couple of layups
off turnovers early, that got us
going defensively.
The Jays scored first after
nearly two minutes on
a baseline drive from
junior Evan Hays (4
rebounds, 3 dimes).
However, LCCs
pressure took its toll
right off the bat, forc-
ing six errors in the
first period. Though
Hays did a nice job
on Indianapolis-
bound LCC senior
Martyce Kimbrough
(8 markers), Walton
(4 in the period and
sophomore Tre Cobbs (19 points
- 3 treys - 3 steals) were another
matter. A Cobbs 3-ball at 1:10
gave the hosts a 13-7 edge before
senior Eric Clark hit a 15-foot
pull-up from the right wing with
45 ticks left to account for a 13-9
LCC edge.
LCCs defense really did the
job the second period, holding
the Blue and Gold to a 3-ball
by Koester (6 minutes) and a
basket by junior Andy Grothouse
(18 markers, 2 bombs) midway
through. On the other end, Cobbs
nailed seven markers and a step-
through underneath by Xavier
Simpson (14 markers, 5 boards,
5 assists, 4 thefts) with 31 ticks to
go gave the Thunderbirds a 28-14
halftime edge.
The Jays had their best quar-
ter of the night in the third, only
committing one turnover and
shooting 6-of-11 from the field.
In particular, Grothouse erupt-
ed for 12 counters (both 3s).
However, the only other score
was a 3-pointer by Koester. Thus,
when Grothouse pow-
ered for a short basket
with 29 ticks showing,
St. Johns was only
within 40-29.
The Jays needed to
get stops and heat up
in a hurry in the finale
to have a shot at a rally;
didnt happen. Simpson
and Kimbrough hit
back-to-back triples to
open the period and
Cobbs a deuce to make
it a 48-29 spread. After
that, the closest the Jays could get
was 17 and the benches emptied
as time wound down.
We did a good job on
Kimbrough, whos a tremen-
dous shooter. Cobbs was the one
we felt we could sit back on,
Elwer added. We didnt want
them to get a lot of paint touches
or penetration there and didnt
see him hit too many 3s before
tonight; he hit three tonight,
which just made our job tougher
on defense.
That was good to see for Kill.
If we can get a third consis-
tent outside shooter to go along
with Martyice and Xavier, that is
what weve been missing. Were
going to be tough to deal with if
that continues, Kill added.
St. Johns concluded with
4-of-7 free-throw shooting
(57.1%), 19 boards (4 offensive)
and seven fouls.
LCC finished shooting 22-of-
48 from the field (6-of-16 long
range) for 45.9 percent and 7-of-
8 at te line (87.5%); with 30
rebounds (8 offensive) as Jake
Williams had eight, 16 foiuls and
only eight errors.
There was no junior varsi-
ty action due to the impending
storm. It will be made up at a
later date.
The teams return to the court
Friday: St. Johns at home versus
Versailles and LCC taking on
Bloom-Carroll.

MIDDLE POINT The
Lincolnview Lancers have had
a tough time getting their perim-
eter shots to fall of late. When
Temple Christian paid a visit on
Tuesday evening, Lincolnview
decided, instead, to pound the
ball inside.
The starting front court of
Chandler Adams and Hayden
Ludwig responded and com-
bined for 21 first-half points as
the Lancers rolled to a 68-44
win over the Pioneers.
The Lancers worked
the ball into Adams
early and often and
the sophomore center
more than held his own
against the Pioneers
post defense.
Looking at the
scouting report coming in,
we felt we had an advantage
inside and we went to (Adams)
early and he was able to come
through for us, noted Lancer
head coach Brett Hammons.
He was able to get position,
make some post moves and get
to the free throw line. Then he
knocked down his free throws.
The effort he gave was tremen-
dous.
Adams connected on all four
of his free throws in the first
quarter and added two more , to
go along with three field goals,
in the second. Ludwig, mean-
while, was connecting from the
outside as well as scoring on
the block.
Ludwig drained an 18-foot
jumper from the wing to estab-
lish an early 7-2 lead for the
home squad. He buried a base-
line jumper later in the period,
then added a pair of low-post
baskets in the second quarter.
All those interior points,
freed up senior Kyle Williams
to get rolling from the outside.
Having Chandler step up
like that in the first half and
Hayden step up, it opened
things up for Kyle, added
Hammons. Hes been strug-
gling the last couple of games
but he was able to get some
open looks and knock down
some shots. When other guys
start scoring, it makes things
easier on (Williams), it makes
things easier on Justis (Dowdy),
as well.
It just makes us an all-
around better team when teams
have to worry about more scor-
ing threats.
After taking a 32-20 lead
into the break, the Lancers real-
ly got rolling in the third quar-
ter as point guard Austin Leeth
made an impact on defense and
with his passing. Leeth found
Williams with a beautiful pass
on a back door cut, then hit
Williams for a catch-and-shoot
three on the next possession.
The Lancers opened up a
40-24 lead when Dowdy found
Ludwig ahead of the pack
for a basket and foul and
Ludwig added a mid-
range jumper and a pair
of inside scores late in the
quarter for a 48-26 advan-
tage headed to the fourth.
The Lancers drained
each of their first seven shot
attempts in the final period,
with Leeth assisting on three of
them, to seal the game.
Like I told him, points
arent everything. Austin came
out and had eight assists and
five rebounds and I thought he
did a great job distributing the
basketball, noted Hammons
of his point guard, who was
held scoreless on the night. His
turnover ratio has been great
(this season). He was able to
manage the team tonight and
get the ball to those guys at the
right times. Hes the guy who
runs our offense and gets things
going.
Under Leeths guidance,
the Lancers committed a total
of just six turnovers for the
game while forcing 18 by the
Pioneers. Temple falls to 4-15
with the loss while Lincolnview
gets back to even at 8-8 on the
year. The Lancers shot 15-for-
27 in the second half, including
3-for-5 from beyond the arc.
Lincolnviews JV squad
claimed a 49-8 victory.

DEAR BRUCE: Do you
think its wise for someone to
buy bank shares in this hurting
economy? -- L.S., via email
DEAR L.S.: If you are very
knowledgeable, it may be that
there are some good bank shares
worth considering. We are talk-
ing about many banks. Lets take
them one at a time.
The big ones and the large regional banks oftentimes are
decent buys. Banking rules very much favor them, and they can
manipulate the rules in ways that small banks can only dream
of. Small neighborhood banks (there are around 8,000 in the
country) are not places where I would choose to invest. In most,
but not all cases, the shares are depreciated, and I dont see any
immediate recovery in their future.
With that being observed, you have to consider each indi-
vidual bank on its own merits. On balance, the small banks are
recovering and eventually the shares may reach the plateaus they
were at just a few years ago. But I would not have much interest
in that type of an investment. You have to examine them and see
which one suits your needs.
DEAR BRUCE: I have a property worth approximately
$100,000. When I shopped around to purchase homeowners
insurance from four different national carriers, the replacement
costs ranged from $200,000 to $250,000. Why are they so high
compared to the actual value, and how can I get this cost low-
ered? My premium is based on this amount. -- K.S., via email
DEAR K.S.: I understand where you could be confused. You
are trying to find out why the assessed value of your property is
so much less than the replacement cost. That should be pretty
obvious.
Lets say the building is assessed at $100,000. It is probably
worth more than that because most properties are worth more
than the assessed value. Lets say its worth $150,000 to sell it,
yet if it was to burn down, it might cost $500,000 to replace.
Replacement value is the only way to go when insuring a
property, not actual cash value. If you have insurance covering
only the cash value, the $150,000, if the place burned down, you
wouldnt have enough money to replace the house. You only
have the amount noted on the policy. You want enough money
to replace what you have lost and thats only accomplished with
replacement value, not actual cash value.
DEAR BRUCE: Years ago I foolishly bought two timeshares,
thinking it would be nice for my two small children when they
grew up. I am 68 years old now and making out my will. My
children want nothing to do with these timeshares and the fees
that go along with them. I know I cant sell them. How will this
work after Im gone? Can I exclude these in my will so that my
children wont be forced to inherit them and assume responsibil-
ity for them? -- K.M., via email
DEAR K.M.: I would agree that you foolishly bought the two
timeshares, but you had the best of intentions. The kids clearly
are knowledgeable and they want nothing to do with them. They
dont wish to inherit them, and you know you cant sell them.
You might try leaving them to a charity that will accept them.
If no one accepts them, there is no reason for anyone to be bur-
dened with them. There is no reason to put them into your will.
What you might wish to do is just stop making the payments
and see what the timeshare company will do. There is little they
can do but sue you.
DEAR BRUCE: I live in Pennsylvania, and I should be retired
by the end of the year. My property taxes are $4,500, give or take.
My wife and I are thinking of moving to Delaware, but the
house prices are high and my pension would be taxed. We also
are giving some thought to the Hilton Head area, but once again
my pension would be taxed, but property tax is low.
What are your thoughts about our idea of moving? I hate to
leave, but the winters are long here and the upkeep on the house
is expensive along with the taxes. -- M.M., via email
DEAR M.M.: I understand why you are concerned about your
retirement; $4,500 in property tax is expensive. You mentioned
two other states where taxes would be taken from your pension.
You might wish to consider Florida or Texas. Both have no
income tax, so thats not an issue. Further, the property taxes are
significantly less than those you have mentioned.
I dont suggest you just pick up and move, but I suggest you
might go to Florida or Texas for a month or so in the summer and
see how you handle the heat. I made the move to Florida many
years ago and I havent regretted it for five seconds.

recently he has been employed as an execu-
tive at Regional Health based out of Rapid
City, SD. During
his tenure there,
his responsibili-
ties provided him a

ences in the areas
of human resource
management, per-
formance manage-
ment and opera-
tions.
In his new posi-
tion, Gisi will have
responsibility for
the Departments
of Cardiology,
Surgery (including
Outpatient Nursing
and Endoscopy),
A m b u l a t o r y
Surgery, Lab,
Medical Imaging,

Improvement. Mefferd was later promoted
to Director of Case Management, Utilization
Review and Quality Improvement and since
2,000 has served as Director of Quality
Improvement.

Health care law
to reduce labor
participation
WASHINGTON (AP)
Several million people will
reduce their hours on the
job or leave the workforce
entirely because of incentives
built into President Barack
Obamas health care overhaul,
the Congressional Budget
Office said Tuesday.
That would mean job loss-
es equal to 2.3 million full-
time jobs by 2021, in large
part because people would opt
to keep their income low to
stay eligible for federal health
care subsidies or Medicaid,
the agency said. It had esti-
mated previously that the law
would lead to 800,000 fewer
jobs by that year.
The new findings could
provide a new political weap-
on for GOP opponents of the
overhaul, though the White
House pointed out that the
reduction would be due to vol-
untary steps by workers rather
than businesses cutting jobs.
CBOs findings are not
driven by an assumption that
(the health care law) will lead
employers to eliminate jobs
or reduce hours, said White
House Press Secretary Jay
Carney.
The agency also reduced
its estimate of the number of
uninsured people who will get
coverage through the health
care law. The budget experts
now say about 2 million fewer
people than had been expected
will gain coverage this year,
partly because of the web-
site problems that prevented
people from signing up last
fall when new markets for
subsidized private insurance
opened.
On a positive note, the
new estimates also say that
the health care law will, in the
short run, benefit the econo-
my by boosting demand for
goods and services because
the lower-income people it
helps will have more pur-
chasing power.
And the agency predicted
that federal budget deficit
would fall to $514 billion
this year, down substantially
from last years $680 billion
and the lowest by far since
Obama took office five years
ago.
But the budget experts see
the long-term deficit picture
worsening by about $100 bil-
lion a year through the end of
the decade because of slower
growth in the economy than
they had previously predicted.
Advocates want disabled
included in wage hike
WASHINGTON (AP) More than
a dozen advocacy groups are urging
President Barack Obama to include men-
tally disabled workers in his call to raise
the federal minimum wage for employees
of government contractors.
The groups, including the National
Organization on Disability and the
National Down Syndrome Congress, said
Tuesday they are concerned that Obamas
plan for an executive order raising wages
to $10.10 an hour wont cover many dis-
abled people who now earn less than the
current federal minimum of $7.25 an hour.
Thousands of disabled workers are
employed by government contractors
under a federal program that allows com-
panies to pay a subminimum wage to
those with intellectual or developmental
disabilities.
We believe that all Americans should
be afforded minimum wage protections,
including those workers with disabilities,
the groups said in a letter to Obama and
Labor Secretary Thomas Perez.
A White House spokesman did not imme-
diately respond to a request for comment.
Under a law that has been in place since
1938, employers can seek permission from
the Labor Department to operate shel-
tered workshops where disabled employ-
ees are segregated from other workers
and paid less than minimum wage as
little as pennies an hour. About 420,000
disabled are employed in sheltered work-
shops around the country, though advo-
cacy groups estimate that less than 50,000
work for government contractors.
Wages for these workers are a fraction
of the minimum wage, calculated based
on comparing their productivity level to
that of a nondisabled worker. Disability
rights groups have tried for years to end
the program, calling it a relic from a time
when disabled people were treated with
little respect or dignity. They say a White
House order that at least raises wages of
federal contract workers who are disabled
would be a step in the right direction.
But in a conference call with advocacy
groups last week, White House officials
indicated the executive order was unlike-
ly to include disabled workers earning
less than the minimum wage, said Ari
Neeman, president of the Autistic Self-
Advocacy Network.
Were trying to get them to reverse
their position on that, Neeman said.
They were of the position that they do
not have the legal authority to do this. Our
position is that they do.
Obamas executive order is expected
cover about 10 percent of the 2.2 million
federal contract workers overall, since
most of those employees already make
more than $10.10. It wont take effect until
2015 at the earliest and wont affect exist-
ing federal contracts, only new ones.
Facebook barrels ahead on 10th anniversary
NEW YORK (AP) It has been 10
years since a Harvard sophomore named
Mark Zuckerberg created a website called
Thefacebook.com to let his classmates find
their friends online.
They did. And in the decade since, so
have more than a billion people, not just
American college students but also farmers
in India, activists in Egypt and pop stars in
South Korea.
Facebook has transformed how much
of the world communicates. Zuckerbergs
insistence that people use real identities,
not quirky screen names, helped blur, if
not erase entirely, the divide between our
online and offline worlds. Long-lost friends
are no longer lost. They are on Facebook.
From its roots as a website with no
ads, no business plan and a hacker ethic,
Facebook has grown into a company worth
$150 billion, with 6,337 employees and
sprawling headquarters in the heart of
Silicon Valley. Born in the age of desktop
computers, three years before the iPhones
debut, Facebook is now mainly accessed
on mobile devices. Many of these mobile
users never had a PC.
People often ask if I always knew that
Facebook would become what it is today. No
way, Zuckerberg wrote where else
on his Facebook page Tuesday. I remember
getting pizza with my friends one night in
college shortly after opening Facebook. I
told them I was excited to help connect our
school community, but one day someone
needed to connect the whole world.
Facebook has had plenty of stumbles
along the way, from privacy concerns to
user protests when Facebook introduced
new features, not to mention a rocky public
stock debut in 2012. Even its origin was
the subject of a lawsuit and a Hollywood
movie.
So far, though, Facebook has trudged on.
As Facebook enters its second decade,
the company faces a new set of challenges
in reaching the next billion users, the billion
after that, and the one after that, including
the majority of the world without Internet
access. It must also keep the existing set
interested even as younger, hipper rivals
emerge and try to lure them away.
There are 1.23 billion Facebook users
today, or roughly 17 percent of the worlds
population. Although thats far from con-
necting the whole world, Facebook is here
to stay. Its reached critical mass.
One of the things Facebook has been
good at is that its very easy to use and
understand, said Paul Levinson, professor
of communications and media studies at
Fordham University. Its a much friendlier
system than any email system.
Javier Olivan joined Facebook Inc. as
vice president of growth and analytics in
2007. It was a different time. Myspace was
the dominant online hangout with 200 mil-
lion members. Facebook had 30 million.
Facebooks user base had been acceler-
ating steadily, Olivan said, as it expanded
from Harvards campus to other colleges,
then high schools, and in 2006, anyone over
13. Users in the U.K. and other English-
speaking countries then began signing up.
But around 2007, growth plateaued.
The thinking at the time was (that) well
never have 100 million users, Olivan said.
Thats when the growth team was created.
If Facebook was going to connect the
world, as its mission states, it couldnt be an
English-only service. So Facebook turned
to its users to help translate the site. A
Spanish version came in 2008, followed by
dozens of others. Growth accelerated again,
and volunteer translators are still adding
new tongues, whether thats native African
languages or pirate slang.

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Boyfriend should stop
pointing out mates age
Dear Annie: I am 69 years
old, and my lovely lady friend
is 65. Weve only been dating
for seven months, but I love
her very much. However, a
few things about her drive me
up the wall.
We live apart, and that is
fne she stays with me for
a week and then goes
home for a week.
Heres the problem.
She is an impulsive
shopper. She never
leaves a store with-
out picking up some-
thing, even though
she doesnt need it.
Secondly, she is a
terrible procrastina-
tor, changing our
meeting times con-
stantly. Finally, and
worst of all, she is a
huge risk taker. She
tries to impress everyone and
acts as if she is still in her 30s.
Recently, in the middle of
a freezing snowstorm, she told
me she was going to the gym.
I said, Are you nuts? Her
comment was, I am a good
driver and know how to han-
dle the snow. A few months
ago, we were at the ocean, and
she decided to see how far out
she could swim. The lifeguard
fnally had to whistle her to
come back in. She told him,
I know what I am doing.
She once tried to hand-feed
a raccoon. She now wants to
try skydiving and zip lining.
I reminded her that she is 65
and needs to be a little more
careful. But she gets mad at
me when I say things like that,
commenting that shes been
doing these kinds of crazy
things all her life.
I am really afraid that one
day her luck is going to run
out. How do I address this sit-
uation without upsetting her?
Or am I being overly protec-
tive? Worried
Dear Worried: Please do
not assume that age is a fac-
tor. Plenty of 65-year-olds
are perfectly healthy and ex-
tremely active. Unless your
friend has a physical condi-
tion that limits her zip lining
and skydiving, dont upset
yourself over it. Hand-feeding
a raccoon is simply idiotic,
however, and some of her be-
havior indicates that she lacks
sound judgment. If thats a re-
cent development, she should
see her doctor. Otherwise, we
suggest you stop reminding
her how old she is. She seems
sensitive about it and is likely
to overcompensate.
Dear Annie: I am a care-
giver for my husband, who
was diagnosed with Lewy
body dementia three years
ago. Before that time, I had
never heard of Lewy body
dementia, nor did
I know that there
are actually four
distinct dementia
classifcations: Al-
zheimers, Lewy
body, frontal lobe
and vascular.
At this time,
there are 1.3 mil-
lion Americans
who have been
diagnosed with
Lewy body de-
mentia, which is
the second most
common progressive demen-
tia and is believed to be under-
diagnosed. These individuals
are drug sensitive, and the
incorrect drugs can cause full-
blown dementia.
Anybody who shows signs
of dementia should see their
primary care physician and
request a referral to a neurolo-
gist for proper diagnostic test-
ing the sooner, the better.
Trinidad, Calif.
Dear Trinidad: Thank
you for calling this to our at-
tention. Aside from the fa-
miliar cognitive symptoms of
dementia (which are also com-
mon to Alzheimers), Lewys
includes visual hallucina-
tions, as well as movement
disorders that may be related
to Parkinsons. The earlier it
is diagnosed the sooner treat-
ment can begin. Those who
wish to know more about
Lewy body dementia can con-
tact lbda.org.
Dear Annie: After reading
North Carolina and Less
Generous, I realized that we
have become too busy to say
thank you.
Children raised by loving,
considerate parents have no
time for them; grandchildren
dont visit grandparents or
acknowledge gifts. I fear that
decency and values are slowly
leaving the younger genera-
tions. If changes arent made,
it will be a sad world to live in.
The future is up to them. May
those who still possess good
manners be a signifcant infu-
ence on their peers to prompt
change. Parent in Conn.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2014
Size up your situation and figure
out what you want. Do not slow
down until you reach your goal. Use
your desire and determination to
get started, and the rest will fall into
place. Stay focused and strive for the
success youve been searching for.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Investments will pay off. Fixing up
something you want to sell will add
to its value and give you a sellers
advantage. Dont worry about
pleasing everyone. Do whats best
for you.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
Participate in community events to
develop new friendships. A journey
that takes you somewhere mentally,
spiritually or physically will be
enlightening. Strive for perfection.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Discuss your plans with someone
you respect or trust and you will
find a way to make your dreams
come true. Concentrate on whats
important; taking on too much will
deter progress.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Review your personal situation and
consider how you can make an
important relationship better. Special
plans will help bring you closer to the
one you love.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Look for ways to get ahead and
come up with a plan. Lady Luck is
in your corner so take advantage
of a moneymaking endeavor. A
contribution will raise your profile.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Participate in something in order
to make interesting connections.
Trips will prove eye-opening and
adventurous. Friends will help bring
greater clarity to a situation that
youve been questioning.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont
make unrealistic gestures. Think
twice before you retaliate. Make sure
you have the correct facts. Focus on
whats important and what will help
you get ahead.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Mixing and mingling will bring you
satisfaction and greater confidence.
Your social attributes will put you in a
good position, resulting in popularity.
Take advantage of an opportunity.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Invest in your skills, talent and
knowledge, and you will raise your
profile. Instigate a move and make
decisions that will allow you greater
freedom to explore avenues of
interest.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Emotions will escalate if you have
ignored a situation that can affect
your personal life. Dont overreact
when stability is required. Put your
energy into physical rather than
mental encounters.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
-- Throw a creative slant into the mix
when it comes to your work, and you
will outshine any competition you
encounter. Make a purchase that will
grow in value. Invest in yourself.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Social events should also broaden
your outlook and bring you in contact
with interesting people. You will gain
popularity through your ability to
please others. Love is highlighted
and romance encouraged.

Answers in Thursdays Herald.
A man was pulled over for speeding down the high-
way; the officer came to the drivers window and said,
Sir, may I see your drivers license and registration?
The man said, Well officer I dont have a license, it
was taken away for a DUI.
The officer, in surprise, said, What, do you have a
registration for the vehicle? So the man replied, No
sir, the car is not mine I stole it, but I am pretty sure I
saw a registration card in the glove box when I put the
gun in it.
The officer stepped back, There is a gun in the glove
box?!? The man sighed and said, Yes sir, I used it to
kill the woman who owns the car before I stuffed her in
the trunk.
The officer steps toward the back of the car and says,
Sir do not move, I am calling for backup.
The officer calls for backup and about 10 minutes
later, another highway patrolman arrives. He walks up
to the window slowly and asks the man for his drivers
license and registration. The man said, Yes officer here
its right here.
It all checked out so the officer said, Is there a gun in
the glove box sir? The man laughs and says, No officer
why would there be a gun in the glove box. He opened
the glove box and showed him that there was no gun.
The second officer asked him to open the trunk
because he had reason to believe that there was a body
in it. The man agrees and opens the trunk, no dead body.
The second officer says, Sir I do not understand, the
officer that pulled you over said that you did not have a
license, the car was stolen, there was a gun in the glove
box and a dead body in the trunk. The man looks the
officer in the eyes and says, Yeah and Ill bet he said I
was speeding, too.

New wave of heroin
claims Hoffman and others
NEW YORK (AP)
Heroin was supposed to be an
obsolete evil, a blurry memory
of a dangerous drug that dwelled
in some dark recess of American
culture.
But smack never really disap-
peared. It comes in waves, and
one such swell is cresting across
the nation, sparking widespread
worry among government offi-
cials and driving up overdose
deaths including, it appears,
that of Oscar-winning actor
Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Fueled by a crackdown on
prescription pain killers and an
abundant supply of cheap heroin
thats more potent than ever, the
drug that has killed famous rock
stars and everyday Americans
alike is making headlines again.
Heroin has this sort of dark
allure to it thats part of its mys-
tique, said Eric Schneider, a
professor at the University of
Pennsylvania who wrote the
book Smack: Heroin in the
City, a historical account of the
drug. What Ive heard from
heroin users is that flirting with
addiction is part of the allure: to
sort of see how close to that edge
you can get and still pull back.
Senate sends farm bill to Obama
WASHINGTON (AP) Congress has
given its final approval to a sweeping five-
year farm bill that provides food for the
needy and subsidies for farmers.
Ending years of political battles, the
Senate on Tuesday sent the measure to
President Barack Obama, who is expected
to sign it. The Senate passed the bill 68-32.
The bill provides a financial cushion for
farmers who face unpredictable weather
and market conditions. But the bulk of its
nearly $100 billion-a-year cost is for the
food stamp program, which aids 1 in 7
Americans.
House Republicans had hoped to trim
the bills costs, pointing to a booming agri-
culture sector in recent years and saying
the now $80 billion-a-year food stamp pro-
gram has spiraled out of control. Partisan
disagreements stalled the bill for more than
two years, but conservatives were eventual-
ly outnumbered as the Democratic Senate,
the White House and a still-powerful bipar-
tisan coalition of farm-state lawmakers
pushed to get the bill done.
The final compromise bill would get
rid of controversial subsidies known as
direct payments, which are paid to farmers
whether they farm or not. But most of that
programs $4.5 billion annual cost was redi-
rected into new, more politically defensible
subsidies that would kick in when a farmer
has losses. The food stamp program was
cut about 1 percent; the House had pushed
for five times that much.
Senate Agriculture Chairwoman Debbie
Stabenow, D-Mich., said before the bill
passed that she and her House counterpart,
Rep. Frank Lucas, R-Okla., tried to craft a
bill that would work for all regions of the
country, from traditional row crops, to
specialty crops like fruits and vegetables,
to livestock, to organics, to local food
systems.
Those incentives scattered throughout
the bill a boost for crop insurance popu-
lar in the Midwest and higher subsidies
for Southern rice and peanut farmers, for
example helped the bill pass easily in the
House last week, 251-166. House leaders
who had objected to the legislation since
2011 softened their disapproval as they
sought to put the long-stalled bill behind
them. Leaders in both parties also have
hoped to bolster rural candidates in this
years midterm elections.
The final savings in the food stamp
program, $800 million a year, would come
from cracking down on some states that
seek to boost individual food stamp ben-
efits by giving people small amounts of
federal heating assistance that they dont
need. That heating assistance, sometimes
as low as $1 per person, triggers higher
benefits, and some critics see that practice
as circumventing the law. The compromise
bill would require states to give individual
recipients at least $20 in heating assistance
before a higher food stamp benefit could
kick in.
Some Democrats still objected to the
cuts, even though those cuts are much
lower than what the House had sought. The
Senate-passed farm bill had a $400 million
annual cut to food stamps.
This bill will result in less food on the
table for children, seniors and veterans who
deserve better from this Congress, while
corporations continue to receive guaranteed
federal handouts, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand,
D-N.Y., said. I cannot vote for it.
At the same time, some Republicans
took to the Senate floor to say the bill
doesnt do enough to trim spending.
Its mind-boggling, the sum of money
thats spent on farm subsidies, duplicative
nutrition and development assistance pro-
grams, and special interest pet projects,
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Monday.
How are we supposed to restore the con-
fidence of the American people with this
monstrosity?
McCain pointed to grants and subsidies
for sheep marketing, for sushi rice, for the
maple syrup industry.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, a long-
time member of the Agriculture Committee,
said he would vote against the bill because
the compromise does not include provi-
sions he authored to reduce the number
of people associated with one farm who
can collect farm subsidies. Grassley has
for years fought to lower subsidies to the
wealthiest farmers.
The bill does have a stricter cap on the
overall amount of money an individual
farmer can receive $125,000 in a year,
when some programs were previously
unrestricted. But the legislation otherwise
continues a generous level of subsidies for
farmers.
In place of the direct payments, farm-
ers would now be able to choose between
subsidies that pay out when revenue drops
or when prices drop. Cotton and dairy sup-
ports were overhauled to similarly pay out
when farmers have losses. Those programs
may kick in sooner than expected as some
crop prices have started to drop in recent
months.

(Continued from page 1)
Chapman said IFM brought
a control specialist, Water
Superintendent Jim Cave was
there and they were able to
work together and address the
concerns IFM had.
During the meeting, they
discussed the water treat-
ment plants building layout
and schedule, foundation/
slab design, electrical design,
Plumbing/HVAC, OEPA
review/approval, IFM process
equipment delivery/instal-
lation, state and local permit
requirements and the overall
schedule.
The process equipment
and building have been ordered
and the building should be here
around the end of February,
Chapman announced. The
foundation will be started at
the end of March or the begin-
ning of April.
Chapman said the most
critical item is the process
equipment filters and nano
membranes which is sched-
uled for delivery around April
1.
The village has received
the Sanitary Survey Report
from the Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency (OEPA)
regarding the water treatment
plant inspection that occurred
on Dec. 19. Chapman said
a few items needed to be
addressed, including removing
five-gallon pails of hydrau-
lic oil from a wellhouse and
using proper language in the
Contingency Plan. There were
other recommendations noted
by the OEPA which will be
addressed as part of the WTP
improvement project.
All in all, our water system
passed the sanitary survey with
flying colors, Chapman said.
In addition, Chapman
explained a leak was discov-
ered in the one-inch plastic
chlorine feed line at the water
treatment plant. He said Cave
and Bill Becker replaced a
three-inch section of the line
the same day and got the plant
back to normal operations.
We do not have plans
to replace this line since it
is being eliminated from the
WTP operations when the new
plant improvements are done.
As part of the new plant, we
will no longer use gas chlorine;
all chlorine will be in liquid
form, which is much safer to
handle, he said.
Chapman said he spoke
with Allen County Refuse
General Manager John Berens
regarding recyclables in the
village. Berens outlined ACRs
procedures for collecting and
transporting recyclable materi-
als. Berens expressed his con-
cerns with the lack of recy-
clables coming from the vil-
lage community and said when
compared to Delphos and
Elida, Spencerville produces
the least amount of recyclables
per household.
I am planning to come
up with a means to get the
word out to the public to see if
we can get more people recy-
cling, Chapman stated. One
thing I may try is Facebook
and/or Twitter.
As reported and discussed
during previous council meet-
ings, there are two properties
slated for demolition 210 S.
College and 205 S. Elizabeth
Streets. Chapman recently
received a notice from Don
Corley of WSOS stating there
may be a delay in the demoli-
tion process. He said there are
mortgage holders that need to
be notified and sign off on
the properties and the village
needs the owners signature for
210 S. College.
Initially, the village dis-
cussed assessing the costs for
the demolitions on each of the
properties tax bill, including
the amount received in grant
form.
Chapman said the esti-
mated cost of demolition for
210 S. College Street is $7,025
and 205 S. Elizabeth Street
is $5,675, plus a 10-percent
administrative fee the village
will pay. Chapman said the
grant allocation is $11,682 and
the estimated cost for demoli-
tion of the two structures is
$12,700, which would make
the village responsible for the
remaining $1,018 (or $509 for
each property). The villages
out-of-pocket expenses for this
project will total $2,288, based
on the construction estimates.
Chapman said his opinion
is the village assess the actual
amount the village pays out-
of-pocket, which is $1,261.50
for 210 S. College Street and
$1,026.50 for 205 S. Elizabeth
Street.
Chapman said it is coun-
cils decision and is a critical
issue requiring a decision as
soon as possible. After discus-
sion, council motioned to take
Chapmans recommendation
and add an additional $100
administrative fee to the cost
of the assessment.
Due to Presidents Day, the
next village council meeting
will be held at 7 p.m. on Feb
18.
City
(Continued from page 1)
Here is correspondence read from
Delphos citizen Tim Honigford:
Dear council members,
I am writing to you in order to
express my opinion on centralizing dis-
patch for the city of Delphos. I am
strongly for going with Allen County
Dispatch, and doing away with Delphos
dispatching. The reasons I feel this way
are as follows
1) COST SAVINGS - There will
be a $140,000 savings to the city for
the second year of consolidation, and
subsequently thereafter. That is serious
money, and let none of us forget, this
town is facing an ongoing, long-term
budgetary problem in the water, sewer,
and general funds. There is no current
margin for error with larger expendi-
tures for any bad surprises for street/
road and water/sewer line repair or
replacement.
2) Sheriff Crish gave an excellent
presentation about his departments
capabilities, and he was forthright and
honest in saying that the transition will
include working on getting some bugs
worked out. He seemed straight up to
me, and I think that he and his depart-
ment can come through for our towns
citizens and patrolmen. I think it can be
a win-win partnership.
3) There is an offer by Sheriff Crish
to try and grandfather into his depart-
ment the existing Delphos dispatchers;
this means no loss of a job for them!
That is a big plus the only inconve-
nience for them would be a little farther
drive to work.
4) The Delphos Police main lobby
could still be open a certain amount of
hours when Police Chief Kyle Fittro is
there, if he is more of a hands-on deck
working Chief. He could augment and
supplement the part-time filing clerks,
who could also do some public ques-
tion-and-answer response for anyone
wanting information at the lobby. Also,
with regards to the matter of EMS/EMT
training for current dispatchers being
removed from possible services at the
lobby: I feel that this objection, coming
from opponents of central dispatching,
is a red herring and a disingenuous
smoke and mirrors attempt to distract
from the essential facts in this decision.
5) For the voting members of coun-
cil to agree to go with Allen County
Dispatch would be the first serious
move of any import by the legislative
side of this towns government, indicat-
ing that the focus and seriousness neces-
sary to try and meet the fiscal problems
of the town is starting to take hold. Up to
now, since this crisis was brought forth
back in July 2013, in my opinion, other
than the executive decision to go with
furloughs and layoffs, the legislative
side of the lectern has been deficient
and unresponsive, to say the least, as far
as trying to come to constructive terms
with this fiscal ordeal.
6) Without every avenue of cost
savings being followed through to its
logical conclusioni.e.(the Delphos
voter who faces another tax increase on
the ballot might vote against it because
he/she may feel not enough has been
done to save money for the town by
its elected officials). You, our council
members, are encumbered to come up
with the civic courage to take this step
of eliminating Delphos dispatch, and
going to Allen County. It is the right
thing to do!
Respectfully,
Tim Honigford
Citizen of Delphos
Salt
(Continued from page 1)
We contracted for 420 tons this year and right now, we
have some left over for intersections only, Fleming said.
He said the problem is the city cannot get any additional
salt until other contracts are filled.
Fleming spoke with optimism about a conference call with
the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) later in the
afternoon regarding acquiring additional salt for the remaining
winter months.
We have been asking for a delivery for the last couple of
weeks, Fleming said. Id be happy to pay more per ton.
Tuesday evening, Fleming reported the conference call
ended with positive results or his city and other municipalities
struggling with the same problem.
The Van Wert County Garage made 100 tons of salt avail-
able to the city, Fleming said. We appreciate that a great
deal.
In addition, he explained ODOT will be dispersing 150,000
tons of salt to different areas experiencing shortages through-
out the state.
Interim Delphos City Safety Service Director Sherryl
George said Delphos received a delivery of 150 tons of salt
last week. She said the city is locked in with a $38 per ton
price through the county.
We have been preparing for this next snow event by clear-
ing the snow mounds in the middle of the roadways from the
previous snow falls, George said Tuesday. The plows are on
the trucks and crews are ready to go.
Limas Director of Public Works Howard Elstro said they
have 400 tons of salt on hand and the crews are ready to do
what it takes to clear the roadways.
As soon as the event begins, there are 8-12 employees and
trucks deployed, Elstro explained.
He said there has been a huge run on salt this year and dis-
tribution is the problem, not the supply. Elstro said Lima also
paid $38 per ton this year, which is quite a bit cheaper than the
$62 per ton rate five years ago.
During a typical year, we use an average of 14,000 tons
of salt, Elstro said. From the beginning of the season to Jan.
16, we have used 17,000 tons of salt and its only the begin-
ning of February.

We started to make harder
cuts in our offense the second half
and thats why we were getting
better shots. We shot more con-
fidently, too, Grothouse added.
Sydney gave us a great game
today but thats been typical of
our season. One game, we get
a good performance out of one
player and the next, they tend to
disappear. We are trying to get
consistency from game-to-game
not only as a team but as individu-
als but its a long process.
