Forty-nine St. Johns High School students traveled to Washington, D.C., for the annual March for Life on Jan. 22.
(Submitted photo)
WASHINGTON, D.C.
On Wednesday the evening of
Jan. 21, 49 St. Johns students
boarded a charter bus for a
10-hour ride to the countrys
capitol. Their mission?
We went to speak out for
those who cannot speak for themselves, said Campus Ministry
Director Kim Honigford.
Abortion must be stopped.
For the past nine years,
Honigford has been leading groups of students to
Washington, D.C., to protest
the Roe v. Wade decision that
was legalized abortion in 1973.
The March for Life is a
rally and protest attended by
an estimated 650,000 students
and citizens from across the
country. The march is preceded by Masses at the D.C.
Armory and Verizon Center.

DHI Media Staff Reports

DELPHOS The Delphos-Verl Friendship Link is beginning the process for the 2015 student exchange.
We have had only two male students apply for the
exchange program, coordinator Rick Hanser said. As in the
past, the students will be scheduled to arrive in late July and
return to Germany early December. We are in search of host
families for these two young men. The preference is for local
families in the Delphos School District who have school-aged
children in the home.
Here are the students letters to their prospective host families:
Dear host family,
My name is Christian Sagemueller, Im a fourteen year old
boy and I would like to stay in Delphos for four months. Im
from Guetersloh, a city with 100,000 inhabitants, but we dont
live not in the city centre, our house is in the country side of
Guetersloh and only three miles away from the town of Verl,
where I go to school.
I live together with my parents and my grandma. A few of
our neighbors have their own farms and there are a lot of meadows and acres around our house. Near our plot of land is a little
forest and the next small village called Friedrichsdorf which
belongs to the city of Guetersloh is two miles away.
See HOST, page 10
Five-second Rule confirmed!
Is the Five-second Rule true? Want the best gum to blow bubbles? Do family members fingerprints have similar characteristics? Look no further than the Ottoville
Science Fair for the answers. Nearly 50 students packed the auditeria at the high
school Wednesday for the annual evening that showcases months of work to prove
or disprove a hypothesis. Above: Elijah Knodell shows his project that proved less
bacteria grows on meat and bread when dropped on the floor and retrieved in less
than five seconds than if the items are left for more than five seconds. Of note on
Knodells conclusion was that meat left on the counter collected more bacteria than
when left on the floor. Eighteen students will move on the Putnam County Science
Fair on Feb. 7 hosted by Fort Jennings Local Schools. (DHI Media/Nancy Spencer)
Museum receives highest national recognition

INFORMATION SUBMITTED
LIMA At a dinner held Thursday evening

at the Shawnee Country Club, Fourth District
State Representative Bob Cupp announced the
Allen County Museum has again achieved
accreditation by the American Alliance of
Museums, the highest national recognition for
a museum. Accreditation signifies excellence
to the museum community, to governments,
funders, outside agencies, and to the museum-going public. The Allen County Museum
has been accredited since 1980. All accredited
museums must undergo a reaccreditation review
every 10 years to maintain their accredited status.
AAM Accreditation brings national recognition to a museum for its commitment to
excellence, accountability, high professional
standards, and continued institutional improvement. Developed and sustained by museum professionals for nearly 45 years, AAMs accreditation program is the fields primary vehicle for
quality assurance, self-regulation, and public
accountability. It strengthens the museum profession by promoting practices that enable
leaders to make informed decisions, allocate
resources wisely, and remain financially and
ethically accountable in order to provide the
best possible service to the public.
Of the nations nearly 17,500 museums
about 1,000 are currently accredited. The Allen

County Museum is one of only 24 county museums nationally to be accredited, and is the only
county museum to hold this distinction in the
state of Ohio.

Teen suspect in custody

after bomb scare at Antwerp
BY MELINDA KRICK
DHI Media Editor
ANTWERP One juvenile is in custody
as police are investigating additional suspects
following a bomb threat that emptied Antwerp
Local School on Tuesday afternoon.
Police Chief George Clemens said a
15-year-old Antwerp male was arrested on
an unrelated probation violation around 8:30
p.m. Tuesday. The teen is facing additional
charges related to the bomb threat.
Shortly after 1 p.m. Tuesday, Antwerp
Superintendent Pat Ross contacted the
Antwerp Police Department and Paulding
County Sheriffs Office notifying them of a
bomb threat. Clemens said a statement had
been found in a restroom at the school.
The school was evacuated because every
type of threat we take seriously, Clemens
said.
The building was thoroughly searched by
the Allen County Regional Bomb Squad,
utilizing canines. Assisting the police department were the sheriffs office, Antwerp Fire
Department and EMS and county EMA director Ed Bohn. Authorities found nothing in the
building.
After the all-clear was given, Clemens
called the Bureau of Criminal Investigation
and Identification (BCII) from Bowling Green
to search for evidence in the area where the
statement had been left.
Clemens said his department then began
trying to investigate the incident and sort out
who was responsible.
The person we felt is responsible is
being held currently on a probation violation.
Additional charges are pending, Clemens
said. The investigation continues and we feel
theres probably another one or two juvenile
suspects, so more charges could be coming.
Officers were assisted in the arrest by juvenile probation officer Marv Ankney.
Prosecutor Joe Burkard said he is waiting
to read Clemens report but expects that
charges against the teen in custody could
be filed today or Friday in Paulding County
Juvenile Court. Burkard noted that typically,
a juveniles name is not disclosed in such
cases.
Clemens had high praise for the response
to the situation.

4-H Camp Palmer board seeks
company or family to name new pool grant program on
GOPs legislative plan
Treasure hunter
who found a
fortune in gold
is captured
COLUMBUS (AP) A
treasure hunter accused of
cheating his investors out of
their share of one of the richest
hauls in U.S. history $50
million in gold bars and coins
from a 19th-century shipwreck
was captured at an upscale
Florida hotel after more than
two years on the lam.
Federal marshals tracked
Tommy Thompson to a Hilton
in West Boca Raton and
arrested him Tuesday. A warrant had been issued for him
in 2012 in Columbus after he
failed to show up for a hearing
on a lawsuit brought by some
of his backers.
The U.S. Marshals Service
called him one of the most
intelligent fugitives ever
sought by the agency and said
he relied on cash and employed
other means to stay under the
radar. Authorities gave no
details on how they found him.
Thompson, 62, made history in 1988 when he discovered the sunken SS Central
America, also known as the
Ship of Gold.
The sidewheel steamer went down in a hurricane
about 200 miles off South
Carolina in 1857; 425 people drowned and tons of gold
from the California Gold Rush
was lost, contributing to an
economic panic.
In a modern-day technological feat, Thompson and his crew
brought up thousands of bars
and coins, much of them later
sold to a gold marketing group
in 2000 for about $50 million.
The 161 investors who
paid Thompson $12.7 million
to find the ship never saw
the proceeds. Two sued a
now-deceased investment firm
president and the company
that publishes The Columbus
Dispatch newspaper and had
invested about $1 million.
The dispute is a civil action.
No criminal charges have
been filed against Thompson
over the gold.
Columbus attorney Rick
Robol, who at one time
defended Thompsons company, has said there is no
proof Thompson stole anything. He said Wednesday that
he has been concerned about
Thompsons health, calling
the arrest the best thing that
can happen for everybody.
Thompson was arrested
along with his longtime companion, Alison Antekeier. The
pair had been paying cash for
the hotel room, rented under a
fake name used by Antekeier,
marshals said. The hotel is in an
upscale suburban area surrounded by golf courses, country clubs
and gated communities.
Federal marshals said that
the pair had no vehicles registered in their names and
that Antekeier used buses and
taxis to get around.
After the arrest warrant was
issued, Thompson vanished
from his Vero Beach, Florida,
mansion, where a search found
prepaid disposable cellphones
and bank wraps for $10,000
in cash, along with a book
titled How to Live Your Life
Invisible, according to court
records. One marked page was
titled: Live your life on a
cash-only basis.

Judge orders state to return

exotic animals to owner
TOLEDO (AP) A judge ordered the state
to return a dozen exotic animals including
several tigers and a lion to their owner on
Wednesday, just hours after they were taken
from an animal sanctuary near Toledo.
Ohio authorities had already seized the
animals and were transporting them to a holding facility near Columbus when the judge
ordered that they be returned for their safety.
State officials moved to take the animals
after denying the owner a permit to keep them
earlier this month. Inspectors earlier found
insufficient fencing and other problems, the
Ohio Department of Agriculture said.
Its not clear yet when the animals could
be returned.
State veterinarians first will evaluate
the animals, which were tranquilized on
Wednesday before they were loaded into
trucks and taken from the sanctuary, to determine when theyre ready for the 130-mile
return trip, said Erica Hawkins, an Agriculture
Department spokeswoman.
Were not going to transport them until
theyre safe, she said.
Its possible the state could also look into
other legal options, Hawkins said.
The owner of the facility just outside

Toledo has been fighting to keep the animals
since October, when the state said he needed
to voluntarily surrender them because he had
failed to get the necessary permits to keep
them.
Kenny Hetrick hoped to keep the animals
after volunteers helped him improve his facility. Among the animals on the site are a black
leopard, a lion, a bear, a bobcat and a handful
of tigers. Some of the tigers were formerly
used as mascots at Massillons Washington
High School.
Regulators denied Hetricks permit because
it was filed extremely late and inspectors had
several concerns about how the animals were
housed, Hawkins said.
An inspection found that the fencing was
not adequate, some padlocks and chains were
not secured and some cages had exposed
metal that could have harmed the animals,
she said.
Exotic animal owners in Ohio were required
to obtain the
state permits
by the beginning of 2014.

COLUMBUS (AP) Republicans who control the Ohio

Legislature announced a slew of legislative priorities on
Wednesday that include setting up a drug prison for addicted
inmates and creating a $100 million grant program for college
students seeking in-demand jobs in the state.
The GOP majoritys agenda for the session comes as
Republican Gov. John Kasich prepares to unveil his two-year
budget on Monday.
The House and Senate GOP caucuses announced their
plans to reporters in separate Statehouse news conferences on
Wednesday, offering some details on specific bills, along with
broad areas on which they want to focus.
One measure pitched by House Republicans would provide
grants of up to $5,000 to eligible college students seeking
careers in nursing, manufacturing and other occupations identified by the state as in-demand jobs. Successful applicants to
the $100 million workforce grant program also could get an
income tax credit of 25 percent of their annual student loan
payments.
We want to make sure our students are taking the coursework and securing a certificate or degree that will meet the
demands of our employers, said State Rep. Kirk Schuring, a
Canton Republican and bill sponsor. He said he wasnt sure yet
how many students could get the grants or how much the tax
credit could cost the state.
Majority House Republicans said the proposal was part of
a six-year plan focused on competiveness, energy, education
and health care.
Senate President Keith Faber said Republicans will
urge Ohios corrections agency to set up a drug prison
where addicted inmates can get treatment and lead better
lives.
The courts are looking for opportunities to make sure they
can help stop this revolving door, particularly in drug areas,
Faber said.
He said he didnt know how much it would cost Ohio to
operate such a facility.
Other Senate GOP plans include pushing universities to cut
students costs by 5 percent, increasing the 20-year statute of
limitations for prosecuting rape cases and cracking down on
powered caffeine.
Kasich and legislative Republicans overlap in some priorities, such as putting tougher rules on charter schools and
tackling water quality issues like the algae fouling the water
in Lake Erie. Democrats have also called for action on both
fronts.

How to apply manure

during the winter
BY JAMES HOORMAN
Putnam County Extension Ag Educator
Area livestock farmers are asking Is it legal to apply
manure to frozen and snow covered soils?
It is highly recommended that farmers avoid applying
manure during the winter BUT it is not illegal, unless
you are in a distressed watershed (e.g. Grand Lake St.
Marys in Auglaize/Mercer County).
Ohio legislators are actively debating the issue and
changes to winter application rules are expected in 2015.
The rules state any discharge of nutrients (manure or
fertilizer) into a ditch or stream is a violation and will
be investigated.
Winter application of manure in Ohio is covered by USDA-NRCS Practice Standard 633, Waste
Utilization, which states the proper best management
practices to follow. Winter application of manure is
risky and the potential for manure runoff is high, so
it should only be practiced if no other alternative, like
winter storage, exists. If manure application becomes
necessary on frozen or snow covered soils, only limited
quantities of manure shall be applied to address waste
storage limitations until non frozen soils are available
for manure application. If winter application becomes
necessary, applications are to be applied only if ALL the
following criteria are met:
a. The application rate is limited to 10 wet tons/acre
for solid manure more than 50 percent moisture and 5
wet tons for manure less than 50 percent moisture. For
liquid manure, the application rate is limited to 5000
gallons/acre.
b. The applications are to be made on land with at
least 90 percent surface residue cover (e.g. good quality
hay or pasture field, all corn grain residue remaining
after harvest, all wheat residue cover remaining after
harvest). Soybean stubble or corn harvested for silage
does not qualify for 90 percent residue cover. A good
grass cover crop of cereal rye, annual rye, wheat or
oats should qualify if there is 90 percent residue cover.
Avoid applying manure to oil seed radish crops because
the tap roots may increase liquid manure movement to
tile lines.
c. Manure shall not be applied on more than 20 contiguous acres. Contiguous areas for application are to be
separated by a break of at least 200 feet. Utilize fields
furthest from streams, ditches, waterways, surface water
(fields that present the least runoff potential and are
furthest from surface water). The purpose of limiting
the field to 20 acres and breaks is to slow down liquid
manure runoff and minimize the potential for manure to
collect on the soil surface and then exit to surface water.
d. Increase the application setback distance to 200
feet minimum from all grassed waterways, surface
drainage ditches, streams, surface inlets and water bodies. This distance may need to be further increased due
to local conditions. In northwest Ohio, this means staying away from road ditches and surface drains installed
in the fall across fields to drain surface water. In many
cases on our flat fields with surface drains, this rule may
almost eliminate the legal winter application of manure
because there is no land left to apply manure if the setback distances are followed.
Setback distances are doubled for winter manure
application. Winter setbacks should be 300 feet away
from wells and residences, public wells, springs and
public surface drinking water. If the manure is incorporated or direct injected within 24 hours, the setback
distances away from residences, private wells and sink
holes is reduced to 100 feet. For ponds or lakes, a minimum of 35 feet vegetative barrier is required if the
manure is incorporated or injected with an additional
200 foot setback distance for surface applied manure
that is NOT incorporated or injected.
e. Additional winter application criteria exists for
fields with significant slopes more than 6 percent.
Manure shall be applied in alternating strips 60 to 200
feet wide generally on the contour, or in the case of contour strips on the alternating strips. Generally, this rule
almost always prevents the winter application of manure
on 6 percent slopes because the breaks take up so much
land there is no room left to apply manure.
Farmers often ask how is the term snow cover and
frozen defined?
Kevin Elder, ODA Livestock Permitting, defines
snow covered as greater than 1 inch of snow on the
ground. A soil is frozen if a farmer is not able to inject
the manure with a tool bar. If you can inject manure
below the soil surface, the soil is not considered frozen.
Contact the Putnam Soil & Water Conservation
District office or the OSU Extension office for more
details. For OSU manure management information, visit
oema.osu.edu.

Ohio Corn Marketing program

to expand ethanol infrastructure
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
DELAWARE The Ohio
Corn Marketing Program,
in partnership with the
American Lung Association
of the Upper Midwest and the
American Lung Association
of the Midland States, is
pleased to announce, The
Ethanol Infrastructure Grant
Program, a new grant funding opportunity for petroleum
marketers to significantly
expand the reach of ethanol
compatible fuel in the Ohio
marketplace.
The Ethanol Infrastructure
Grant Program will provide
funding to fuel retailers to aid
in the purchase and installation of necessary dispensing
equipment that is compatible
with ethanol-blended fuels.
E85 and ethanol-blended
fuels contain a percentage of

ethyl alcohol and gasoline.
E85 is a blend of 85 percent
ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. There are over 16 million flex fuel vehicles on the
road today, creating a great
opportunity to reduce life-cycle carbon dioxide emissions
through the use of E85 fuel.
Using ethanol-blended fuels
can reduce ozone-forming
pollutants and air toxics.
Motor vehicle emissions
are a major source of environmental pollution. We are
pleased to be a part of this
program in Ohio, says Barry
Gottschalk, president and
CEO of the American Lung
Association of the Midland
States, The use of alternative fuels, like E85, benefit
air quality which is important
in our mission to save lives
to improve lung health and
prevent lung disease.

The Ethanol Infrastructure
Grant Program details
include:
Funding structure to aid
in the purchase of ethanol
compatible fuel dispensing
equipment and site-work
(i.e. tanks) to accommodate
installation
Priority given to petroleum-marketers looking to
install in multiple locations
Simple application process with assistance available
for completing appropriate
paperwork
Quick reimbursement
when projects are completed
Application process to
start Sunday
Over 722,000 Ohio
motorists are driving Flex
Fuel Vehicles and they
deserve access to efficient
and clean burning ethanol,
says Tadd Nicholson, executive director of the Ohio

Corn Marketing Program.
The new grants will help
Ohio fuel retailers offer more
choices at the pump, with
fuel that is produced in Ohio
by our seven ethanol plants
with corn grown by our farmers.
Please contact Brad Moffitt
at 740.787.5864 or bmoffitt@ohiocornandwheat.org
of the Ohio Corn Marketing
Program for detailed participation information.

Ohios largest food and farm conference

features three pre-conference workshops
The Ohio Ecological Food and Farm
Association (OEFFA) will host three full-day
pre-conference workshops in Granville on
Feb. 13 as part of its 36th annual conference,
Sustainable Agriculture: Renewing Ohios
Heart and Soil.
These events feature some of the countrys top experts and are designed to provide ecological growers a deeper education
than short workshops or webinars can, said
OEFFA Program Director Renee Hunt. This
year, were also offering a session geared
toward livestock veterinarians so they are better positioned to serve organic dairy clients.
These practices can be used in non-organic
dairy systems as well.
During this pre-conference workshop,
John Kempf, founder of Advancing EcoAgriculture, will help farmers learn regenerative farming principles which allow soil and
plant health to improve, not degrade, over
time. Using these techniques, growers will
discover how they can produce disease- and
pest-resistant crops, which are healthier and
more nutritious.
An Amish grower from Middlefield, Ohio,
Kempf is an internationally recognized lecturer on biological agriculture, plant immunity,

mineral nutrition and soil microbiology.
Jim Adkins of the Sustainable Poultry
Network will discuss effective and profitable
strategies for sustainable poultry production
during this pre-conference workshop. For the
past 30 years, Adkins has raised more than
50 breeds and varieties of chickens, ducks,
geese and turkeys. A licensed poultry judge,
he established the International Center for
Poultry in 1992 and has taught at field days,
workshops and conferences.
Designed for poultry producers of any
scale, this session will explore the unique
advantages of sustainable production systems while exploring the history of traditional heritage breeds and the transition
to hybrid breeds and industrial production
models. Growers will walk away with an
understanding of the breeding, feed, forage,
facilities, and care required for different
size production models, and how to make
their poultry businesses profitable through
effective financial planning, marketing and
consumer education.

Musings
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
I kind of let some things unwritten last week in my
column about DeflateGate or whatever the term is now.
One, I left out that pretty much the consensus among
the Indianapolis Colts players was they got spanked by a
better team.
Watching the game, I dont think there is any doubt
about that.
I think, though, the idea that someone, somewhere
along the line probably did something as I wrote last
week, maybe one or two balls could be underinflated for
various reasons during a first half of play but 11 boggles
the mind that might have, could have influenced the
outcome of the game is what bothers me.
Why would you do it to begin with?
Did you think you had to do something to cross the
line?
There were some things spoken during various news
conferences that bothered me and I know am not the only
one that noticed.
When Bill Mr. Bill Belichick claimed that he knew
nothing about the way the footballs are checked and such,
that rang the bells and whistles.
This man has been a professional football coach in
some form or another and with more and more responsibility as he has gone on since 1975.
This man is the utmost control freak he knows the
ins and outs of everything in this game intimately, down
to the smallest detail.
For me to accept that he knew NOTHING about the
very ball this game is about leaves me scratching my head.
Basically, he threw Tom Brady under the bus.
Then there was the reply Brady gave the other day to a
question if he is a cheat he didnt think so.
Huh?
Either you are or you arent.
Again, it leaves me wondering if the end is near.
Another part of this whole scenario is that the NFL
and its investigators who promised they would get to
the bottom of this last weekend have basically told us
forget about it, that it wont be for a number of weeks.
Richard Sherman basically told reporters he figured
nothing would come of it but, dang, the NFL would fine
Marshawn Lynch for not being cooperative with the
media!
Will the NFL just up and tell us in mid-March what the
results were and if there are any penalties should someone
be found culpable?
I hope so but with all that has beset self-inflicted in
many ways the NFL in 2014, perhaps they hope this
simply goes away.
Listen, I dont pretend to know for a fact that the
Patriots cheated or not my colleague, Erin Cox,
begged me (that is an LOL!) to write this column but
I didnt want to bring out her inner anti-Tom Brady/Bill
Belicheat/make they all go to you know where child.
I dont dislike the Patriots just bring back the old
helmets!
I just am very curious about some of the responses we
have received.
And when Bob Kraft, the Patriots owner, demands
an apology from the NFL for its witchhunt and, yes,
should it be true, the organization deserves a real apology
my response is will you give an apology should it turn
out you guys did cheat?
Unfortunately, when its all over, methinks that the
New England ball boy/locker room attendant will have to
fall on his sword and I find that reprehensible.

Mohawk eliminates
short-handed Bulldogs
BY CHARLIE
WARNIMONT
DHI Media Correspondent
COLUMBUS GROVE
In wrestling, its tough to
overcome giving away points.
That was the task ahead of
Columbus Groves wrestling
team Wednesday evening.
The Bulldogs were forced
to forfeit six weight classes
as they faced Mohawk in the
OHSAA team wrestling tournament regional quarterfinals
at Columbus Grove. Those
36 points gave Mohawk
an edge that was tough to
overcome as the Warriors
defeated
Columbus
Grove 59-18.
Preston Brubaker got the
Bulldogs off to a good start
as he pinned the Warriors
Michael Danner 34 seconds
into the third period of their
match. Columbus Grove forfeited the next four weight
classes and could only pick
up two more wins the rest of
the way. The Bulldogs forfeited two of the final four
weight classes as well.
Garret Hauenstein picked
up one of those wins for
the Bulldogs as he pinned
Mohawks Brennen Ritchey
in 42 seconds of their 160
pound match and Andrew
Nichols pinned Cole Butler
at the 3:35 mark of their 195pound match.
We gave up six weight
classes, Bulldog coach Eric

Siefker said. We have two
guys injured, another one out
for another reason and another
one on vacation. One of the
injured wrestlers is one of my
top seniors. It was a tough
night. There were a couple of
weight classes I thought we
could have won and didnt. We
have one more day of practice,
then its off to LCC for their
invitational starting Friday.
Mohawk advanced to the
regional semi-finals next
week as the defeated OttawaGlandorf 45-25 in their second match of the evening.
The Titans had advanced
to the second round of the
regionals with a 51-29 win
over Ashland Crestview in
their opening round match.

Bath advances in wrestling tournament

By JIM METCALFE
BATH TOWNSHIP
Coming off a middle-of-thepack finish 12th out of
27 teams at the alwaystough Van Buren Wrestling
Invitational last weekend, Jefferson coach Mike
Wilson was hoping his team
had bigger things in mind
when they battled in the
OHSAA Regional Dual Team
Tournament Wednesday night
inside The Bath Tub at Bath
High School.
The Wildcats first eliminated
numbers-limited
Spencerville 39-33 to make it
to the move-on round against
host Bath who conquered
short-handed St. Johns 54-24.
However, the Red and
White saw a 27-11 lead
evaporate and a key match
go against them; the host
Wildcats rode that momentum to a 47-33 victory.
Bath will move on to the
next round Wednesday at a
site and time to be determined.
The Red and White won
four of the first five contested matches to lead 27-11
(each team won a forfeit)
including a very entertaining
and action-packed 9-7 victory by Jeffcat freshman Brice
Metzger over Jared Deitsch at
145 pounds, then Bath won the
next two matches by pinfall.
For Wilson, the 170-pound
match involving junior Josh
Kroeger and Baths Tre Terry
was the turning point.
Kroeger seemingly was in
control 6-2 early in the third
period before exposing his
back on a running revsersal
and being pinned by Terry at
5:01.7.
That was just horrendous.
All I kept telling him was to
not expose his back; a reversal meant nothing, Wilson
explained. Its stuff like that
mistakes like that that
we have been talking to them
all season about and youd
think theyd finally realize it.
Its missed opportunities up
and down the lineup. We had
chances to win this and made
the same mistakes weve been
making over and over. We
had some injuries but thats
no excuse; the guys we had in
there, it was their turn. Well
watch films of this our next
Pohlman at 138. He was

behind and battled back to get
a big pin; he is impressing me
more and more. We had some
intense practices this week
and the guys wrestled that
way today. We have the LCC
Invitational this weekend and
were really looking forward
to that: 50 percent of the 40
teams are in our District.
Spencerville is also in the
LCC meet starting Friday.

match is at the NWC Feb.
7 and maybe well learn.
Spencerville head coach
Zac Clum was more than
pleased with his Bearcats as
they came so clsoe to a team
win despite forfeiting 24
points (double void at 120).
Id say thats pretty good
to give up points like that and
come that close to winning a
dual match. With our numbers due to grades for one
and we had two more that
are in occupied weight classes this is just how it is,
Clum observed. I dont view
us as a good dual team. Our
focus now is not even on the
NWC tournament its on
mid-March and on the State
individual wrestling tournament. Thats kind of where
we are looking at right now
and our focus is on getting
ready for that and finetuning

our techniques.
In the other semifinal, Bath
took advantage of the Blue
Jays who forfeited six
classes and got one in return.
Still, St. Johns head coach
Derek Sterling was philosophical about his teams plight.
Every wrestling team in
the state is dealing with injuries, so thats not an excuse.
Its something you have to
deal with, he explained. We
lost Austin Schulte at the CIT
to a broken jaw and weve
had guys move in and out of
the lineup due to injuries and
coming back. I was hoping
we could move people up
and win some matches and
we did win our fair share:
we won four of the seven
matches that went on. I was
very impressed with Evyn

College Roundup
Shutler collects 100th win for
Beaver women
By Griffin Kuras
Sports information assistant
DEFIANCE A 28-10 jag by the
Bluffton University women during the
first 10 minutes of period two sent the
Beavers to a convincing 79-54 victory
over rival Defiance on Wednesda.
The second-half explosion helped
Bluffton hand Coach Shutler career victory 100 in front of a nearly-packed house
at the Weaner Center. The Beavers
improved to 13-5 overall and 8-3 in the
Heartland Conference following the rare
season sweep of Defiance, while the
Jackets slipped to 6-12 and 5-6 in the
conference.
Junior ball handler Taylor Knight
(Perrysburg) got to the rack following
a Brenna Kurilec (Mt. Gilead/Gilead
Christian) steal, igniting a 10-2 Bluffton
run to open the second half and the
Beavers never looked back. Consecutive
Kaitlyn Pennekamp (Hamilton/Ross)
fastbreak layups put Bluffton up by three
before buckets by Knight and sopho-
more Rachel Beining (Ottoville) made

the score 38-31 just over five minutes in.
The visitors pushed the lead to 17
thanks to a Pennekamp triple and an
old-fashioned three-point play by Mikayla
Coburn (McGuffey/Upper Scioto Valley)
as the Beavers kept their foot on the
gas. Four Coburn freebies sandwiched
around layins by Knight and Pennekamp
made the score 65-44, leaving the final
score as the only blank to fill in.
Back-to-back Whitaker trifectas with the
clock winding down pounded the point home
that Bluffton meant business as the Beavers
celebrated a victory over rival Defiance for
the second time in just two weeks.
The first half was a series of runs
as Bluffton went out to a 15-6 lead just
over eight minutes in following a hoopand-harm for freshman Macey Sheerer
(Bucyrus). The home team responded
with 16 straight counters for a 22-15
advantage and the Jackets still led 26-20
with 3:29 on the clock before Bluffton
used an 8-3 spurt to pull within one (2928) at the break.
Whitaker hit 6-of-12 from the field,
including an efficient 3-of-4 from beyond

the arc. She was also a perfect 5-of-5
from the line en route to a team-best 21
points. Pennekamp was spot on with 18
points thanks to 8-of-15 shooting from the
field. Sheerer just missed out on a double-double with 11 points and nine boards,
while Coburn added nine points and seven
rebounds. Beining and Knight chipped in
with eight and seven points, respectively.
Kurilec added eight boards, four steals and
three assists for the victors.
Bluffton hit 25-of-62 from the field
(40.3 percent), including 5-of-9 (55.6
percent) from distance, while Defiance
finished a paltry 19-of-60 (31.7 percent)
on field goals. The Beavers were outstanding at the line, hitting 24-of-29 (82.8
percent). Bluffton pulled down six more
rebounds (46-40) and turned it over five
fewer times (18-13).
The Bluffton women return to action
on Saturday when the Beavers welcome Hanover College for a Heartland
Conference showdown in the Sommer
Center. Tip-off is slated for 1 p.m. as
part of a triple-header on Saturday. The
womens Alumni Game will kick off at

10:30 a.m. while the Hanover men take
on Bluffton at 3 p.m.
The Beaver men made the short trip
north to Defiance to battle the Yellow
Jackets on their turf just two short weeks
after Blufftons stunning 70-68 upset in
the Sommer Center, The result was
not the same as the Jackets rolled to a
73-51 victory. The visitors never led as
Defiance was ready to go from the opening tip. Bluffton fell to 8-10 overall with a
4-7 mark in the HCAC, while the Jackets
improved to 13-5 on the season and a
stout 8-3 record in the HCAC.
The Jackets were able to dominate throughout, riding Bernard Edwards
31 points and 18 from Mason Roth to
an easy victory. Defiance pushed its
lead all the way to 26 with 1:55 left
in the game. The only signs of life for
the Beavers came from Thayne Recker
(Arlington) and Billy Taflinger (Lima/
Central Catholic) with 35 of Blufftons
points split between the two juniors.

The Herald 7
GM John Schneider has been

architect of Seahawks success
Associated Press
PHOENIX Give Pete Carroll the

opportunity to campaign for someone
or something he believes in and hell
gladly jump at the chance.
Usually its for a player, or a cause.
But Carrolls drive this year was getting
recognition for general manager John
Schneider, the co-architect
of the Seattle Seahawks rise
who usually tries to avoid the
spotlight.
He has just worked tirelessly to continue to compete,
to find guys to make this a healthy, competitive roster, Carroll said. I mean
the hundreds of changes in the first year
was just trying to find guys. The continuation of that, it changed in terms of the
numbers, but the attitude, the approach,
John just continued to battle for it.
I dont know how he couldnt be
recognized with the drafts that hes had,
with the free agency success hes had,
with the success of our lower draft picks
that have come through.
Five years after being selected by
Carroll to be the second piece of the
Seahawks hierarchy, Seattle is in a second consecutive Super Bowl thanks largely to a roster constructed by Schneider.
Hes received little recognition for what
Seattle has accomplished during his tenure and while Schneider doesnt care,
Carroll would like to see him honored.
His insight and his ability and really
the creativity that he brings couldnt
have been more obvious,
Carroll said. But the rest of us,
I dont know. Were just playing
a game and were a team. But
I think his situation here really
should stand out and should be
recognized.
The 43-year-old Schneider has not
rested on what Seattle has accomplished
during his tenure, to the point where
the Seahawks were holding pre-draft
meetings this week in Arizona leading up to Sundays game against New
England. Asked recently if he could
have imagined Seattles success after
five years, Schneider said he cant look
at two conference titles and four playoff
appearances from a broad perspective.
We are so focused and consumed
about getting better in every area on a
daily basis that it has just built like that

over the years, Schneider said. I know
you guys have heard me talk about being
a consistent championship-caliber team.
And with that comes really tough decisions, like, every day. Obviously, its what
you strive for. Everybody just kind of
knows that. We dont talk about it. Yeah,
of course everybody wants to be a world
champion, everybody wants to win Super
Bowls. But the manner in which we did it
was a blast, the whole group. The culture
that we are in is just awesome.
While Schneider and Carroll are 20
years apart in age, they often act like
brothers. That relationship developed in
the first few months of their partnership
when Seattle went through hundreds of
roster transactions trying to remodel its
team. They often pull lines from movies like Step Brothers in meetings to
lighten the mood.
What Schneider has constructed
relies on a mix of elements: Hitting on
gems in the draft more often than not;
discovering undrafted free agents that
can contribute; and sprinkling in key
free agents when it fits the Seahawks
financial structure.
Patriots not dwelling on last Super Bowl loss

Associated Press
CHANDLER, Ariz. The road to perfection reached a
dead end in the Arizona desert. Now the New England Patriots
are back where a Super Bowl championship and an unbeaten record barely eluded them seven years ago.
Not that they dwell on their return to the place where the
best season in NFL history slipped from their grasp.
Its not where we play, its how we play, Tom Brady said
Wednesday, and Im glad were here with the opportunity to do something really special.
A win Sunday night against the Seattle Seahawks
would even the Patriots record in Super Bowls at
University of Phoenix Stadium at 1-1. New England
is seeking a championship, not closure for its 17-14 loss to the
New York Giants in 2008.
Im sure it will be a cool story if we win, saying we came
back to the same place, kicker Stephen Gostkowski said, but
I dont think about that stuff. Im just looking to make the first
kick that they send me out for.
So when a receiver leaps for a pass at the opponents
23-yard line, dont expect the Patriots to have flashbacks to
David Tyree trapping the ball against his helmet at that spot
with Rodney Harrison draped over him.
That 32-yard completion with just over a minute left, after
Eli Manning kept the play alive by breaking free with defensive end Richard Seymour tugging at his jersey, set up the
winning 13-yard touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress.
It took Patriots players a long time to get over how close
they came to a 19-0 record. Then coach Bill Belichick met
with his assistants.
One day Bill walks in, running backs coach Ivan Fears
and 2013. In 2013, he shot 60-65-64-67 to match the tournament record of 28-under 256. The former Arizona State player
tied for 24th in La Quinta in his first start since the Ryder Cup
in September. The Farmers Insurance Open is next week
in San Diego, followed by the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

LPGA TOUR
COATES GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP
Site: Ocala, Florida.
Schedule: through Saturday.
Course: Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club (6,541
yards, par 72).
Purse: $1.5 million. Winners share: $225,000.
Television: Golf Channel (Today, 11 a.m.-2 p.m.; Friday,
8-10 p.m.; Saturday, 3-5 p.m.).
Last year: Inaugural event.
Notes: The tournament opens the tours 33-event season.
Top-ranked Inbee Park is in the field along with No. 2 Lydia
Ko, No. 3 Stacy Lewis, No. 5 Suzann Pettersen, No. 6 Michelle
Wie, No. 8 So Yeon Ryu, No. 9 Karrie Webb and No. 10 Lexi
Thompson. Park and Lewis led the tour last year with three
victories each. Cheyenne Woods, Tiger Woods niece, is
making her first start as a tour member.
said. He says, we got to move on guys, start smiling.

Its a cornerstone of Belichicks philosophy. Lamenting
misfortunes leads to more of them, Fears said.
Fears, offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and defensive
coordinator Matt Patricia remain from the staff at the 2008
Super Bowl. Brady, Gostkowski and defensive tackle Vince
Wilfork are the only players from that game still on the Patriots.
It was a heartbreaker, Gostkowski said, but weve
already played in (and lost) another Super Bowl since then,
so I dont even sweat that. I have two kids and a wife
and two dogs and I didnt have any of that seven years
ago. So life has changed a lot since then.
The Patriots are staying in a different hotel, meeting in different rooms and practicing at a different site
than in 2008. The retractable roof on the stadium was closed
for that game. The current plan is to have it open Sunday.
Everything is different, McDaniels said. That was a
great season and we were trying to obviously win an incredible game and the Giants made one more play than we did. But
I dont think that has anything to do with this week.
The Patriots have made repeat visits to Super Bowl stadiums
before. They lost the 1986 and 1997 games in New Orleans
before winning there in 2002. But they had different coaches in
each game, Raymond Berry then Bill Parcells then Belichick.
Now Belichick is preparing for his sixth Super Bowl with the
Patriots in his 15 years as their coach. Hes a football historian
who prefers not to consider his place in it during the season.
His coaching philosophy, he said, is to try to give the
players a good plan and opportunity to play, to put them in a
position that theyre able to be competitive and be aggressive
and let the players play. I mean, theyre the ones that have won
our games.

I do not get why Lynch is
the way he is supposedly,
he has some social disorder/
condition that makes it difficult for him to communicate
in a social setting but the fact
that he plays a very public and
open game makes me wonder.
Still, the two may not go
together.
The thing is, he is making

The poor shooting was the tale of the take as the Beavers
were only able to hit 13.3 percent (2-of-15) from behind the
arc and 45.5 percent (5-for-11) from the charity stripe. Despite
out-rebounding the home team, 41 to 35, Bluffton was unable
to take advantage of easy opportunities which put the Beavers
in a tough situation all night long.
Recker knocked down 8-of-17, totaling 19 points as well
as adding a game-high 12 boards and two blocks for his 12th
career double-double. Billy Taflinger added 16 points and six
rebounds off the bench. Joshua Woodrich (Navarre/Central
Christian) chipped in with five points but had a monster effort
on the boards with eight rebounds.

The idea that they have

He has given you no indication this is going to happen;

treats them like his own. He also

has a son, age 6, who has cystic
fibrosis.
I love Kevin and can see myself marrying him. The problem
is, I dont think I like his son. Hes
a good kid, cute and funny, but I
dont feel love for him. Im affectionate with my own kids, but
I have to force myself to be with
this boy. I am easily irritated by
him and sometimes just dont
want to be bothered.
I know this sounds terrible,
but I dont know what I should do.
I dont want to end my relationship with Kevin because Im so
in love. But is it fair to stay with
him if I dont love his son, too? -IN CONFLICT IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA
DEAR IN CONFLICT:
Frankly, it depends upon whether
you can learn to love the boy. You
say you dont like him. Why not?
Is the reason valid? Is he mean,
dishonest, spoiled or too needy?
Or could it be that hes a living
reminder that your boyfriend once
loved another woman?
If your relationship is to work,
you may need an attitude adjustment. Can you focus on the positive qualities the boy has? That
would be a good first step. If not,
then for everyones sake, end the
relationship now.
DEAR ABBY: I am 12 and
my mom is part of a church group
(Unitarian). She recently told me
she is taking me to her church
where they are making pies for
the homeless. Even though this is
a nice act, I dont want to be a part
of it (mainly because I am very
shy around new people).
KID
DEAR SHY KID: If you
have already told your mother
the reason is your shyness, then
I cant think of a way to state it
more clearly. She may feel that
your help in the project is urgently needed, which is why shes
insisting. Or, she may feel that it
might help you to overcome your
shyness. Sometimes when people
work together for a worthy cause
they forget about themselves and
their insecurities. I hope you will
give it a try -- if only so you wont
be grounded.
DEAR ABBY: Our waitress
in a mid-level chain restaurant
was friendly and helpful, but her
tongue was pierced with a stud. It
impaired her speech, making her
hard to understand and it was visible every time she spoke.
We are pretty liberal about
most things, but it was difficult
for us to enjoy our meal. Would it
have been OK for us to ask for a
different waitress? -- PUT OFF IN
TENNESSEE
DEAR PUT OFF: Yes. If you
preferred that another server help
you, it was within your rights to
ask for one or ask to be moved to
a table in another section of the
restaurant.

Romney takes aim at Obama, Clinton in Mississippi

STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) Mitt Romney
hasnt officially declared himself a presidential candidate again, but the 2012 Republican
nominee looked and sounded like one during a
stop Wednesday in Mississippi, back-slapping
at a popular barbecue joint before delivering
a speech that questioned Democrat Hillary
Rodham Clintons foreign policy and economic
credentials.
His time at Mississippi State University
marked Romneys third public appearance since
he revealed earlier this month that hes considering in another presidential run.
Im thinking about how I can help the country, he told hundreds of students Wednesday
night.
In his comeback bid, Romney has focused
particular attention on the poor and middle class
as he tries to broaden his appeal after being cast
in 2012 as an out-of-touch multimillionaire.

How can Secretary Clinton provide opportunity for all if she doesnt know where jobs
come from in the first place? Romney said,
squarely attacking the Democrats potential
2016 nominee.
We need to restore opportunity, particularly for the middle class, Romney said. You
deserve a job that can repay all youve spent and
borrowed to go to college.
In a follow-up question-and-answer sessions, he added: The rich are fine in America.
Theyre fine almost regardless of whos the
president.
Before his evening address on campus,
Romney stopped at the popular barbecue joint
Little Dooey, bounding out of a black SUV to
shake hands with employees, townspeople and
students.
He displayed a good sense of local priorities with his choice of tour guides: MSU
head football Coach Dan Mullen and his wife,
Megan. Dan Mullen praised Romneys record
in business and as governor of Massachusetts.
I would certainly endorse Governor Romney,
he said.
When one well-wisher told Romney hed
been his choice for the White House in 2012,
the former Massachusetts governor smiled and
replied, I wish I was there right now.
A few minutes later, Romney and the
Mullens chatted over barbecue, comparing their
business, political and sports experience. When
Mullen who led his Bulldogs to an Orange
Bowl appearance last season mentioned the
difficulty of losing, Romney asked, So what
do you do?
In his address, Romney outlined three prin-
California declares electronic Museum

cigarettes a health threat
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) California health officials
Wednesday declared electronic cigarettes a health threat that
should be strictly regulated like tobacco products, joining
other states and health advocates across the U.S. in seeking
tighter controls as vaping grows in popularity.
The California Department of Public Health released a
report saying e-cigarettes emit cancer-causing chemicals and
get users hooked on nicotine but acknowledging that more
research needs to be done to determine the immediate and
long-term health effects.
E-cigarettes are not as harmful as conventional cigarettes,
but e-cigarettes are not harmless said California Health
Officer Ron Chapman. They are not safe.
New generations of young people will become nicotine
addicts if the products remain largely unregulated, Chapman
said. Last year, 17 percent of high school seniors reported
using e-cigarettes, known as vaping, according to the report.
Accreditation is a very rigorous

but highly rewarding process that
examines all aspects of a museums
operations. To earn accreditation a
museum must first conduct a year of
self-study, then undergo a site visit
by a team of peer reviewers. AAMs
Accreditation Commission, a panel of
seven museum professionals, consider
the self-study and visiting committee
report to determine whether a museum
should receive accreditation.
The accreditation process is very

said. But, after four years of diligent
work, and the support of our dedicated
board and staff, we have come through
My name is Piet Kisker

and I am 13 years old. But
before I tell you me and

I want you to know why
I want to go to America.
First it was my dream since
I was a little boy and then
in America you can see so
many things. For example: visiting sights like the
Statue of Liberty, the Grand
Canyon, the Empire State
Building, the Golden Gate
Bridge, Mount Rushmore
and so on. But these are
not the only reasons for
my interest. I want to learn
better English. I hope that
when I will come back I am
much better in speaking and
talking English. And the last
reason why I want to come
to America is because I was
already on an exchange.
That is an experience for the
life that nobody can take.
But now I will tell you
something about me. I am a
lively person, I have fun in
life and enjoy it. But I can
be a trustworthy and serious
person too I can talk with
people about serious topics.
To find new friends is not
a big problem for me. I can
share good things with people and it makes me happy
when I can make other people happy. But of course I
am not every time happy
lively.
I am polite to other children and adults. I can discuss about problems and
Host
My favourite things are

sports and music. I play soccer and badminton. I also
play the keyboard and I like
to make music using my
computer. At three years I
began to play soccer in a
local club and when I was
ten years old I changed the
club. I also play badminton in the same club and
we play many tournaments.
In the village where I play
soccer and badminton there
is a church where I am an
altar boy. This year was my
catholic confirmation. Since
I was six I take keyboard
lessons in a music school
for young people. The keyboard teacher and I like to
make our own music on the
keyboard and computer.
My father is 50 and my
mother is 48 years old and
their names are Burkhard
and Marita. Burkhard is
an engineer who works for
CLAAS. They produce farm
machinery and one product is the Lexion combine
which is also produced
and sold in North America.
My mother is a graphic
designer and she works for
Floettmann, a little firm in
our home city which publishes local magazines and
our class books. My parents
like America very much and
they have been to the States
many times.
Last year in 2013, we
Bomb
traveled to Canada and the

New England States to visit
friends of my parents. My
father is often in America
because of his job. Last time
he was in Omaha/Nebraska
in September.
I would like to visit
Delphos to see more about
the United States and
especially to see Ohio.
Important is to meet people, talk with people living in America and learn a
lot about the country and
culture. I expect differences between Germany and
the US, but I also expect
many similarities. Another
important thing would be
to increase my English language skills because Im
going to choose the English
intensive course at school.
I dont see any problems to
communicate with people in
Delphos because I got some
experience during my vacation in 2013 and with many
foreign guests from the US,
Israel, Denmark and other
countries in our house.
I would be very happy
if you would be my host

ciples that could serve as the foundation of a

campaign: national security, improving opportunities for the middle class and ending poverty.
The latter two principles are newly prominent
for Romney, and hes explained them with
references to his personal faith and work in
the Mormon church personal testimony he
didnt always offer in 2008 and 2012.
In previous campaigns, Romney fueled his
critics with high-profile missteps tied in some
way to money. No gaffe was bigger than his
remark secretly recorded at a high-dollar
Florida fundraiser that he didnt worry about
the 47 percent of Americans who believe they
are victims and pay no income tax.
On Wednesday night, he managed to joke
about his wealth, insisting his public life isnt
about generating attention or speaking fees. As
you may have heard, he said, Im already rich.
this with a renewed commitment to excellence, the community, and public trust.
The Allen County Museum offers
a singularly unique historical campus
housing the most complete and comprehensive records and collections on
Allen County, Ohio and beyond. That
history is replete with examples of people, their cultural and social institutions, their ideas, innovations, labors,
and traditions. Through its educational
offerings, the Museum presents a deeper
understanding of the present based on an
authentic relationship with the past.
Perhaps the Museums greatest
endorsement is the support it receives
from its community, both financially
and through the donation of collections.
For over 100 years, Allen County cit-
find a solution. I am ready

to try new things I have
never tested before.
So I think you want to
know what I expect for that
trip to America. I expect
really fun, sightseeing, try
new things, making new
friends, learn much about
the American culture and of
course about the language.
But I also want to tell you
more about the German
culture and history, I want
you to learn more about
Germany and that I learn
more about America. My
hobbies are in general doing
sports, meeting friends and
sometimes playing video
games. I play soccer in a
club for over ten years and
it is one of the things I want
to do every time. But that
is not the lonely thing I do.
Sometimes I go jogging and
when I meet friends we play
outside and have fun with
doing sports. To my life
in school. I am not bad in
school especially in subjects
like maths, English and
sports. I do not like subjects
like physics and chemistry. I
think maths and French are
the difficult subjects.

can meet up next year in
America.
Good bye

March
izens have generously donated their

family heirlooms with the faith that
these items would be preserved for successive generations. More recently, millions of dollars were privately raised for
the museums expansion. This positive
expression of investment in a locally
cherished institution is an affirmation
of the important position the museum
holds within the community.
Behind every aspect of the museums operation is the desire to provide distinguished service and maintain
the reputation weve worked to build,
Smith said. The best possible gift we
can give back to our community for
their support is the gift of excellence in
the preservation and interpretation of
their history.
It was my first time going on the March and I was overwhelmed when I found myself surrounded by so many people
who have the same beliefs as I do, said senior Emilee Grothouse. It
was a moving experience that I will never forget.
Honigford always hopes each march is the last.
I will continue to take students to the March for Life,
added Honigford. My hope, though, is that we never have to
go again; that abortion is delegalized.
After the march, the students attended a reception at
Congressman Jim Jordans offices. The following day, they
toured the citys monuments and Capitol before heading home.
The March for Life is a powerful expression of faith. Every
life is a gift and we are called to stand up for our beliefs. And
that is exactly what we did, Honigford added.
Police
On Sunday, officers were

made aware of a possible stolen vehicle from a residence
in Delphos. The complainant
advised officers that they
believed that the car was possibly repossessed but someone had seen it being driven in Lima. The vehicle was
located and impounded for
further investigation.

I was really elated with the response, he said. The

school did a great job getting the kids outside and transporting
them to a safe place.
I was happy with the S.O. they showed up in multiple
numbers and helped make sure the students were out and
cleared the grounds. We worked well together for the first
time weve had to do this, Clemens added. We were all very
prepared.
Not long ago, the sheriffs office implemented ALICE
training, which is a response program for dealing with active
shooters. Clemens said the training played a big part in knowing what to do and what everyones jobs are in an emergency
situation.
It was a total team effort and I could not be more pleased,
Ross agreed.
I cant praise our students and staff enough, she added.

Everyone knew their roles. The school has an evacuation
plan and also one to evacuate to an offsite location to release
students.
I also cant say enough about our first responders the
Antwerp Police, the Paulding County Sheriffs Office and the
Antwerp Fire Department. They did an excellent job, Ross
said.
The experience prompted the superintendent to offer one
reminder to parents. The instant alert system is our main
communication link to parents. Its important to keep account
information up to date, Ross said. The school sent out a total
of five messages during Tuesdays evacuation, but some families did not receive notifications.
Ross urges parents to check their account settings, available
on the schools website by linking the For Parents tab at top
right and scrolling to Instant Alert System.
