Council OKs first phase


of wastewater treatment
plant reconstruction
BY GREG SCHERGER
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
Delphos City Council met in regular session Monday evening for the final time in the
month of July, one week ahead of schedule,
with respect to attendance ability for members
and to address a variety of legislation on second
reading.
All members of the council and of the administration were present.
Council approved authorization for Mayor
Gallmeier and or Safety Services Director
Shane Coleman to enter into agreement with the
Ohio Public Works Commission States Capital
Improvement Program to fund improvements
to the Delphos Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Through the program, new treatment membranes and their associated support structure
will replace original equipment that has not
performed as necessary.
Council also passed a resolution that will
address a portion of the overall $4.3 million

project, focusing on an initial cost of $1,006,000


for the re-construction of roughly the first third
of the wastewater treatment plants re-configuration. The city will receive a $232,000 grant
and a zero percent 20-year loan in the amount of
$640,000 to apply to the total cost of the project.
The intent is to bring the initial pilot portion of
the full project on line as soon as possible, then
address the remainder of the re-construction
project, to improve the overall effectiveness of
the plant.
Improvements will also reduce overall costs,
especially with regard to electrical costs, and
bring the facility in compliance with EPA mandates.
Council also passed four ordinances, all on
second reading, including the provision to annex
approximately 10 acres to the city located
along Grone Road on the east side of the city
bringing Lees Restoration into the city limits.
The Allen County Commissioners previously
expressed their approval of the annexation.

DELPHOS Bequests,
buses
and
building
improvements were at the
center of discussions during
Mondays meeting of the
Board of Education of the
Delphos City Schools.
District Superintendent
Kevin Wolfe updated the
board on continuing repairs
to Franklin Elementary,
advising members that, to
date, repairs have proven
principally cosmetic and
that no significant structural
issues have been recorded.
He then turned attention to
the high school and its aging
windows.
Wolfe reported that
an initial estimate on the
removal and replacement of
existing windows at the high
school ranges from between
$900 and $1,200 per window. Settling on an easily manipulated $1,000 per
window, and allowing for
the replacement of roughly 80 windows, he reported

that a complete update of


the schools window would
cost the district approximately $80,000.
Its a bus, Board
President Andy North said,
acquainting the anticipated
project cost with the cost of
acquiring a new school bus,
but how much is that going
to save us in heat?
The board discussed the
issue, considered the possibility of attacking the
renovation in stages, then
directed Wolfe to acquire
an estimate for the entire
project as a whole.
It seems to me that wed
be better off financially, that
we would get a better rate
if we bid it as one project,
North opined.
The board also reviewed
plans for new bathroom
facilities at the middle
school. Wolfe presented members with revised
blueprints for the roughly
$125,000 renovation, following which the board
unanimously directed Wolfe
to begin the bid process.

Dukes

April 28, 1940July 12, 2015


DELPHOS Richard
L. Dick Dukes, 75, of
Delphos, died at 4:47 p.m.
Sunday at St. Ritas Medical
Center.
He was born April 28,
1940, in Lima to Richard
Edwin and Vera Louise
(Rahrig) Dukes, who preceded him in death.
Dick is survived by five
siblings, Renee L. Dukes
of Round Rock, Texas, and
Kevin R. (Nancy) Dukes,
Keith E. (Deb) Dukes,
Maria M. Axe and Dodie
M. (Gregory) Seller, all of
Delphos.; his loving Aunt,
Carolyn Brandehoff; several nieces and nephews,
great-nieces, great-nephews
and cousins.
He is a life member of St.
John the Evangelist Catholic
Church, a 1958 graduate
of Delphos St. Johns High
School and a 1963 graduate
of the Dayton Art Institute.
His pride and joy were his
two cats, Dusty and Sassy,
who he loved dearly.
Dick retired after 45 years
at the Birkmeier Monument
Company
in
Delphos,
where he served in numerous capacities. When first
joining the company, Dick
was instrumental in starting
up and heading the design

department where he innovated personalized artwork


in monument design, thereby
changing the entire industry
using this concept. He continued to develop new ideas
and techniques, being the first
in the industry to do hand
etching and color painting on
monuments. Several years
later he transitioned into sales
and management, while continuing to focus on specialized monument design. He
was well known, liked and
respected in the monument
industry.
His great talent as an artist is immortalized through
his many landscape and still
life paintings he gifted to his
family, friends and St. Johns
Church. He was a member
of and an award winner at
the Wassenberg Art Center
in Van Wert. He was honored
to design the Coat of Arms
for the late, Bishop Albert
H. Ottenweller and the St.
Elizabeth Ann Seton Navy
Chaplain Medal for the late,
Reverend Thomas W. Kuhn.
Dick served for many
years on the Delphos St.
Johns Cemetery Board. He
was also a member of the F.O.
Eagles Aerie 471 of Delphos;
a past member of the B.P.O.
Elks Lodge #54 in Lima; a
past officer of the Delphos
Club; and a past member of
the Delphos Country Club.
A memorial Mass of
Christian Burial will begin
at 11 a.m. Tuesday at St.
John the Evangelist Catholic
Church. A private family
burial of his cremains will
be at a later time. The family
will receive friends from 9:30
a.m. until service begins.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be
made to the St. Johns Parish
Foundation.
Arrangements are being
made by his long time business friend, Thomas E.
Bayliff of Spencerville.

Remembering the War

Three local veterans recollect WWII


BY STEVEN COBURN-GRIFFIS
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgriffis@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Tom Brokaw called them
the greatest generation, those men and
women who rode out the Great Depression
and then rallied to the cause when the United
States entered into World War II. On Sunday,
three veterans of the second war to end all
wars talked about their experiences to a small
crowd at the Canal Commission Museum,
lending understanding to how that phrase
came to be coined.
Art Grothouse, Harold Liebrecht and Burl
Morris are three men from disparate military
branches air force, army and navy, respectively all of whom served, at one time or
another, in the Pacific Ocean theater. All three
spoke, unselfservingly, of hardship and sacrifice; with pride in service to country and compatriots; and with an understanding of their
role in a necessary war. The men occasionally
smiled as they spoke, remembering lighter
moments. For the great part, though, they
were somber, both with the effort of remembering and with the memories, themselves.
Liebrecht related, in brief, his efforts in the
Phillipines and then his stint in Japan where
he saw firsthand the effects of what was then
the most terrible weapon ever devised by man.
I remember being in an LST (landing
ship, tank) heading for Japan, we slept in
tents there for a while, he said. I was in the
occupational forces there for about a year. I
got a chance and we went down to where they

dropped the bomb. I walked through some of


that. Everything was chipped. Everything was
burned out.
For Morris, entering the war was a family
event, something he did with his brother, both
mens eyes open to the responsibilities they
were assuming.
My brother and I both decided that we
didnt want to be drafted and we went and
signed up and joined the Navy, he said.
They did a lot of testing psychological
testing, other kinds of testing. I dont know
how they determined what you were qualified
for, really. I was sent to hospital corps school
and my brother was sent to signalmen corps
training. After three solid months of training
for hospital corps, my line of duty then was to
really take good care of all people.
Grothouse entered into military service on
December 26, 1941, volunteering in order to
gain acceptance into the air force. After training for six months at a new base in Wichita
Falls, Texas, he first served in a bombing
group in Anchorage, Alaska, and then, later,
in the Phillipines. There, he played a role in
the fulfillment of that famous promise, I shall
return.
MacArthur always said that theyd run
him out of the Phillipines and he always said
that he was coming back, Grothouse said.
Well, we kind of softened the place up for
him and he invaded the Phillipines.
For two hours the men spoke, answering
questions and relating their remembrances,
their understandings of an era and a generation that was as fierce as it was great.

OTTAWA From 1959


through April 1975, the
United States was engaged
in a prolonged struggle
between nationalist forces attempting to unify the
country of Vietnam under
a communist government.
Many Americans watched
the conflict from the safety
of the dinner table or sofa.
Members of the U.S. military
on the ground, a very alien
ground, found themselves
dropped in a jungle landscape
to fight a hidden enemy, protecting villagers who may or
may not have been working
against them.
And as they combated
guerrilla warfare that included ambush, booby-traps as
well as the effects of chemical weapons and defoliants
employed by the United
States government to expose
the enemy, one life line connected them all: the American
Huey helicopter.
They brought the soldiers
into the war, they brought
them supplies, said Ann
Wiechart, a Core Member
of the American Huey 369
Organization. If they were
injured, it brought them out of
the war. They brought these
guys home. And when they
hear the sound of the Huey,
its a healing for them.
The American Huey 369
Organization began in 2005
when Air Force pilot John
Walker saw an ad on Ebay
for a grounded Huey, and
purchased it for restoration.
Although Walker himself is
not a Vietnam veteran, he
understood the significance
of the aircraft, especially
for those who were. While
on the road as a salesman,
Wiecharts husband Gary, a
Vietnam veteran, also saw a
similar ad and told his wife
about it.
Gary Wiechart discovered that Walker and other
volunteers were in the process of developing the
National American Huey
History Museum (NAHHM)
at Grissom Air Force Base
(GAFB)/Grissom
Air

Lisa Wiechart Meyer captured this photo of her brother

Garys graveside. Gary Wiechart was Vietnam War veteran. (Photo submitted)
Museum in Peru, Indiana. He
stopped at the museum while
on the road and was given a
tour, even though the museum was closed that day.
He said, Someday I want
to give back, said Ann.
Well, Garys not here anymore to give back, but they
are giving everyday.
Gary died from cancer,
with complications from the
malaria he contracted in the
war, while his brother-in-law
Jim Dickman was making
arrangements for the organization to bring a helicopter to
Fort Jennings Bicentennial.
Gary was to take part in
an American Huey 369
Organization Honor Flight
during the event. Gary and
Anns son Matt was placed
on the Honor Flight.
Since that time, a special connection has formed
between the organization and
Gary and Anns daughter,
Angie. Angie convinced her
mother to attend one of the
Huey events.
And I cant explain the
power that comes over you
once youre connected with
it; the healing, said Ann.
And thats what its doing

for these veterans.


One of the two restored
flight-ready Huey helicopters, soon to be three, will be
onhand at the Rhythm and
Ribfest in Ottawa on July 18.
Veterans and other visitors
will be able to touch the aircraft, sit in it and have its history explained by volunteers.
Veterans will have the opportunity for one-one-sessions in
the helicopter.
Its the thank-you that
they did not get when they
came home. Its therapy,
said Ann. And they encourage us to go up to veterans
and say thank-you.
Membership flights will
be also offered at the festival. A membership to the
association is $100, with a
percentage of the flight going
to a designated charity and to
the museum.
Ann Weichart believes
that a flight on a Huey is one
that will not be forgotten. She
said, What theyre there for
is the sound of hope, for any
veterans of the Vietnam War
or any wars after that, their
families and to educate the
general public.

Nearly 30 Putnam County retired
teachers and their guests toured the
amazing Window Creations facility near
Ottoville on July 9.
Reggie Buehrer and his son lead
tours for the group through the complex
explaining how stained glass windows
are designed, restored, disassembled and
assembled. Up to 18 people are actively involved the business, including the
entire Buehrer family, and they have
learned to do most processes in house.
Three-dimensional glass work is
unique to Window Creations, and is
used more often since windows are often
times absent in contemporary buildings.
PCRTA also had the opportunity to view
sketches for St. Barbaras Church that is
being rebuilt in Cloverdale.
Before the tour, association members

Under new business, President
Luersman presented some ideas for
future fund raisers for the scholarship
fund which included book signings by

a trip to a performance at ONU in Ada
or the Niswonger PAC in Van Wert, or a
possible bus trip with the proceeds going
towards the fund.
The 2016 meeting dates were

K of C donates to St. Johns


Science Department
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
The Delphos St. Johns junior high
and high school science department has
recently positioned themselves to make
a huge advancement into the technology
world thanks to a very generous donation
from the Delphos Knights of Columbus
Golfing Committee. This donation has
enabled Delphos St. Johns to purchase
five sets of state of the art Physics
equipment from Vernier Software and
Technology.
The recently purchased equipment
will allow the junior high students to collect data by using sensor probes. These
sensor probes will allow the students to
conduct experiments dealing with temperature, motion, force, conductivity,
gas pressure, heart rate, light, magnetic

field, pH, and voltage. A device, called a


LabQuest 2, will allow for graphing and
analysis capabilities. The Vernier equipment will make it easier to collect, analyze, and share data from various experiments. The equipment, which also has
wireless connectivity, will encourage
collaboration and personalized learning
both with and among the students. This
new technology and software is compatible with computers, Chromebooks,
iPads, and Android devices.
This equipment will also allow physics students to study Newtons Laws of
Motion, Atwoods experiment, friction,
momentum, harmonic motion, pendulums, collisions, free fall, acceleration,
interaction of forces and many other
aspects of objects in motion. Students
will also conduct experiments to study

Ohms Law, series and parallel circuits.


Students will now be able to collect all
data electronically, make graphs, and
even study videos of objects in motion.
They will be able to transfer the data and
graphs to laptop computers in order to
print the information for easier interpretation and analysis. The information can
also be projected onto a SmartBoard for
all students to see and analyze.
The science teachers are very grateful
to the Knights of Columbus for their
generous donation. Their generosity will
allow for hands-on scientific exploration
which will help the students to master
numerous concepts and thus help prepare them for future careers in the areas
of science, technology, engineering and
math.

July a waiting game


for Ohio MLB fans
Now that we have reached the official midway point of
the Major League Baseball season, we can look back and look
ahead.
We look back at
some
disappointJim Metcalfe
ments.
We Ohio fans
of the Cincinnati
Reds and Cleveland
Indians began the
season with high
hopes as EVERY
fan of EVERY Major
League
Baseball
team does as hope springs eternal in Major League Baseball
in spring training! and dreams of hoisting high the World
Series trophy.
Alas and alack for those of you Shakespearean fans
among my growing legion (or my semi-growing legion!) of
fanatics both of us have had many a night of groanings and
gnashing of teeth.
I havent given up hope for my Redlegs and I wouldnt
mind the Indians making a long run in the post-season, either.
I think that would be ideal for those success-starved cities in
the far corners of the Buckeye State.
However, ending the first half losing three
out of four to the Giancarlo Stanton-less Miami
Marlins
left a bitter taste in my mouth and a sinking
feeling in
my gut that it wont be long before the feared fire sale that
we Reds fans have experienced a time or two in our time on
this mortal coil we call Planet Earth will occur.
Maybe it has to happen.
The reality of being a small-market team even with a
rabid fan base among some financial powerhouses: not
only the long-time Evil Empires of the New York Yankees
and Boston Red Sox but now the Los Angeles Dodgers (even
the presence of Earvin Magic Johnson amongst the ownership group only quells by dislike a little), Los Angeles of
Anaheim Angels and others; makes it much harder to keep a
strong team together when too many are entering their contract
years.
They have a $110 million-plus team salary and that only
places them 16th of the 30 teams. Sixteenth!!
After all, what team in MLB wouldnt want to bolster their
starting rotation with a Cy Young-caliber ace like Johnny
Cueto, who has been the focus of hot and heavy trade talks but
is apparently signed for another year?
You know he is due and will get a MAJOR increase
from his $10 million-plus salary.
Or acquire a Cy Young-caliber flamethrowing closer like
Aroldis Chapman?
He will definitely command a big raise from his current $8
million-plus salary.
Or Mike Leake, making almost $10,000,000 on a 1-year
contract?
They have a lot of contracts expiring, like Billy Hamilton,
that will need at least a minimum raise.
I do not relish the job Walt Jockety and the like along
with owner Rob Castellini will have to do in the next month
as we move forward.
Everything I have written for the Reds I can repeat for the
Indians.
We wont like it if the inevitable occurs for either or both
teams but as they say every spring training, hope springs
eternal.

Doty Classic postponed but


officials still hopeful to race
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com

LIMA Mother Nature has not been


kind to the Tri-County and Limaland
area this spring and summer.
She has wrecked many an athletic
event.
Limaland Motorsports Park at 1500
Dutch Hollow Road in Lima has not
escaped her wrath.
The latest event to be scratched a day
is the 27th annual Brad Doty Classic
sponsored by Ohio Logistics.
It was originally slated for today
but due to the excessive rains that have
plagued the area the past week, it has
been pushed back a day to Thursday.
Thats why we set it for a 2-day
window. We have always run it on a
Wednesday and the rain date is the next
day, Brad Doty, the namesake of the
prestigious event, explained Tuesday
during the annual pre-race press conference. You really dont want Mother
Nature to influence the race but this
year, we decided to move it back to
give her a chance to dry it out today. Its
supposed to be sunny with some wind to
help dry it out Wednesday. Its not even
the track; its the parking lot and the pit
area that needs to dry out.
This is the third time weve had to
push it back a day and the race has only

been canceled once in the 90s. It will


be a relief if we can get that checkered
flag to drop Thursday and get the racers
on their way for the rest of the season.
There will be fans from all over the
country and even the world we had
a few from Australia here last year. We
dont want those fans that have to drive
a distance to drive all day, thinking thats
its dry and sunny here, and not know
racing has been postponed.
One might expect the track itself to
be super muddy but Doty says that isnt
always the case.
Actually, the rain can make the track
harder than you expect; when rain is
expected, as it has been for a while, they
pack the dirt harder in anticipation so it
can drain better. I live 2 1/2 hours east
of here in Ohio and we have not gotten
near the rain the Lima area has, he continued. I look forward to this race every
year; its special. Several years ago, I
became a partner; I have a stake in it, so
its even more special. I understand promoters a lot better now that I did when
I was racing, thats for sure; you want a
good race and a pleasurable experience
for the fans and the race officials at
Limaland know how to put on a show.
The schedule is the same Thursday:
pit gates open at 3 p.m. and grandstand
gates open at 4. Hot laps commence at
6:30 p.m. and racing starts at 7:30 p.m.
There are no facilities for campers but

they are welcome on a limited basis.


We have averaged 45 cars here
the last 10 years its been at Limaland.
You will have the best of the World of
Outlaws racers, he said. There are
12-14 teams that have full-time rides,
which means they have to show up
for every race for the points; they run
between 80 and 90 races during the
year throughout the country. Plus, you
will have outsiders and the University
of Northwestern Ohio Circuit champion
will be here as well. Its great competition.
I was a long-time driver but saw my
racing career pretty much come to an
end in an accident in 1988. The first benefit race was at Attica Raceway Park in
1989 and a couple years after that, they
asked me if they could rename it in my
honor. I had no affiliation with it until
2005 when I became a full-time partner.
In 2006, it moved her to Limaland and
its been growing ever since. This is one
of the premier quarter-mile high-banked
ovals in the country and one of the premier races. Its so satisfying to see the
grandstands full and great racing. Its
a boon to the Lima ecomony and just a
great event. I have such great partners
in this.

OHSAA adopts national recommendations for


minimizing concussion risks in FB practice
Information Submitted

COLUMBUS Beginning
immediately, the Ohio High
School Athletic Association
has joined dozens of states
in adopting recommendations from the National
Federation of State High
School Associations (NFHS)
Concussion Summit Task
Force, which will reduce the
risk in football for concussions and head impact exposure.
The
recommendations were approved by the
OHSAAs Joint Advisory
Committee
on
Sports
Medicine in June and presented to OHSAA Commissioner
Dan Ross and the OHSAA
staff. The OHSAA Board
of Directors unanimously
approved the changes in a
conference call vote Monday.
The changes, which are
listed below, become effective immediately, beginning
with the start of football practices in Ohio on August 1.
The NFHS is the governing
body of high school sports in
this country and Ohio follows
its playing rules.
With the support and
leadership from the football
coaches association, we have
been out in front of concussion awareness and education, and these changes will
now bring Ohio up to a place
as a national leader in this
area, Dr. Ross said. Like
many of our regulations,

these guidelines are to be


followed and monitored by
member schools and coaches, but we are fortunate in
Ohio that many coaches have
already been following these
safety measures. There will
always be a risk for concussion, but football is safer now
than it has ever been, and
these guidelines will make it
even safer.
The three principles that
the guidelines reflect include
exposure of an individual
athlete to full contact in terms
of frequency and duration,
the cumulative effect of the
exposure on an individual
athlete, and recovery time
for each athlete after contact.
The recommendations adopted for immediate compliance
include:
Spring, Summer and All
Off-Season Contact
Already the rule in Ohio,
there is no contact permitted
except during the season, and
pads may not be worn at any
time except during the season. (Many states that allow
spring football practice and
contact in the summer have
a much higher rate of concussions.)
Preseason Practice (all
practices prior to the first
regular-season game)
Note: the following regulations apply to individual student-athletes. Position
groups, etc., can alternate
contact to adhere to the regulations. Also, contact with

soft equipment such as bags,


shields, sleds, etc., does not
count toward contact limitations. Additionally, the task
force noted that preseason
practices may require more
full-contact time than practices occurring later in the
regular season to allow for
teaching fundamentals with
sufficient repetition:
1. Physical Examinations:
Already the rule in Ohio, a
medical examiner must certify each individuals physical fitness no less than once
each calendar year and these
signed forms must be on file
at the school before any candidate for a team may participate in practice.
2. Acclimatization Period:
Already the rule in Ohio, a
five-day acclimatization period is mandatory prior to any
contact drills. Only helmets
are permitted on the first
and second days of practice.
Shoulder pads may be added
on days three and four. Full
pads may be worn on the fifth
day. Full contact is permitted
on the sixth day.
3. Full Contact Limited
During Two-A-Day Practices:
When more than one practice
takes place in a day, full contact is permitted only during
one of the practices. With the
importance of recovery time
to help minimize concussion
risks, consideration should
also be given to the timing of
full contact during the next
day (i.e. if full contact occurs

during session 2 of two-adays, there should not be full


contact in session 1 of two-adays the following day).
Practice During the
Season (all practices after
the first regular-season
game)
Note: the following regulations apply to individual student-athletes. Position
groups, etc., can alternate
contact during the week to
adhere to the regulations.
Also, contact with soft equipment such as bags, shields,
sleds, etc., does not count
toward full contact limitations:
1. Limit full contact on
consecutive days.
2. A student-athlete is limited to 30 minutes of full contact in practice per day.
3. A student-athlete is limited to 60 minutes of full
contact in practice per week.
4. A student-athlete can be
involved in full contact in a
maximum of two practices in
a seven-day span.
These regulations are
being put into place for the
safety of our student-athletes, and it is incumbent
on coaches to monitor the
contact in their practices,
Ross said. Our coaches are
educators and leaders. They
want whats best for kids, and
these regulations are in line
with these safety recommendations.

Kalida ACME keeps


on pitching to success
By Charlie Warnimont
DHI Media Sports Editor
sports@putnamsentinel.com

ARCHBOLD - Pitching
has been a key to the success
of the Kalida ACME team
this summer.
The Wildcats received
another solid pitching performance Tuesday evening and
used a pair of timely fly balls
to defeat Miller City 3-0 in
the semifinals of the District
2 ACME district tournament
at Archbolds War Memorial
Field.
The win sends Kalida (145) to the ACME district finals
tonight at Archbold against
either Ayersville, Archbold or
Miller City at approximately
7:30 p.m.
Miller City (11-4) drops
into the losers bracket and
will play the ArchboldAyersville winner at 5:30 p.m.
Trent Siebeneck was the
latest Kalida pitcher to shine
on the mound. Siebeneck
tossed a 2-hit shutout and
used three big plays by his
defense to preserve the shutout. Siebeneck had four
strikeouts in the win and
walked two batters.
Our pitching has been
real good, Kalida ACME
coach Gary Zeller said.
Trent Siebeneck came out
and threw a 2-hit shutout and
you cant do much better than
that. Trent has been pitching good all year. We had
a couple of errors but good
pitching will keep you in the
game.
Both of Miller Citys hits
came in the same inning as
Justin Schnipke had a 1-out
single but was forced at second base on a Lane Hiltner
ground ball to shortstop.

Hiltner stole second base


before Jackson Lammers
walked. Logan Dukes followed with a sharp single
to right field. Kalidas Brady
Laudick came up throwing
and fired a strike to home
plate, where Jeffery Knueve
slapped the tag on a sliding
Hiltner.
Miller Citys other scoring
threat came in the sixth as
they loaded the bases with
one out.
Lammers reached second
base on a throwing error to
start the inning before Jacob
Schimmoeller and Corbin
Niese worked one out walks.
Kuhlman hit a slow roller to third base that Austin
Klausing charged and flipped
a throw home to get Lammers.
Bryce Riepenhoff followed
with a ground ball to third
that Klausing bare-handed
and ran to the bag for the third
out of the inning.
We had a couple of nice
plays to get us out of potential big innings, Zeller said.
Brady threw a runner out at
home plate and Austin had
two big plays in the sixth
inning at third base. He had
that force out at the plate and
then that bare-handed catch
and both of those were huge.
Its all about timely hitting, Miller City ACME
coach Beau Pester said.
Their pitcher threw well
and we didnt get many runners on. It was just a bad
hitting night. And when we
did have runners on, we just
couldnt get that timely hit.
Their pitcher did a good job
of mixing speeds and keeping
us off-balance.

(Continued from page 6)
Kalida took a 1-0 lead in the second inning as Austin
Klausing started the frame being hit by a pitch. After two fly
ball outs, Trent Gerding singled before walks to Derek Buss
and Austin Swift forced in a run.
Kalida added a run in the fifth as Swift singled and was
sacrificed to second by Siebeneck. Swift took third on a passed
ball before scoring on a sacrifice fly to center by Laudick.
The same trio helped account for the Wildcats third run as
Swift reached second base on a throwing error. A ground ball
to second by Siebeneck moved Swift to third before he scored
on a sacrifice fly to left by Laudick.
Kuhlman took the loss for Miller City as he allowed three
runs on five hits with two strikeouts and two walks.

Local Roundup

UNOH workers survey the Limaland Motorsports Park racetrack along the backstretch Tuesday. The wet weather that
has hit the area the last week and affected the track, the parking lot and the pit area caused race officials to postpone
the race until Thursday. (DHI Media/Jim Metcalfe)
(Continued from page 6)
Then on Victory Lane,
its such an emotional time;
I see winners with tears in
their eyes and it brings tears
to mine.
One of those drivers that
hopes to grab the trophy, the
UNOH All-Star Sprint Speed
Week Circuit Champion
Greg Wilson, plans on giving
it his best shot.
Ive been racing here
since 2004. Its such a beautiful facility and such a competitive atmosphere, Wilson
said. Brad was such a great
racer and an even better
ambassador of the sport. Its
a premier event on the schedule here. Ive had my share
of success at the track and
have some confidence going
in with a couple of wins the
last two years, plus being the
Circuit champ. I come from
Findlay, so this is like my
home track, so I want to do
very well here.

OHSAA

I had such a great team to


work with before but, either
being wise or foolosh, I have
become an owner of the
team. What helps me in that
is that Ohio Logistics, the
sponsor of this event, is also
one of my sponsors, along
with Hercules Tire and several others.
That brings on headaches
of its own but its the racing
that is in Wilsons blood and
the title is the goal.
My whole goal is to get
into the 40-lap feature. I
know for me, getting ready
to run in this race is not so
much adrenaline but nerves,
he added. You want to do
well here for your sponsors,
your team and your fans; like
I said before, this is my home
track. There are so many
great racers that will be here
but if you worry too much
about the competition, you
probably wont do well anyway. I know this; I and my
team will give 110 percent

(Continued from page 6)


As the report also states, these regulations
will evolve and may become more restrictive
as additional concussion research emerges.
In addition, the NFHS Concussion Summit
Task Force has advised the OHSAA to review
its current policy on total quarters permitted,
which currently stands at 50 quarters total for
the season for high school student-athletes
and 32 quarters for 7th-8th grade student-athletes (or 28 quarters if only seven games are
played). The Task Force also asks the OHSAA
and all member schools to:
1. Continue to work with the football
coaches association and all member schools to
ensure that coaches have completed the NFHS
Fundamentals of Coaching course, which is a
requirement in Ohio.
2. Continue to place emphasis on proper
fitting and care of helmets.
3. Continue to place emphasis on proper

to try and bring home the


trophy.
The one that started this
process that became the
Brad Doty Classic was Gene
Frankart.
I didnt know Brad personally before his accident
but I knew of him from the
World of Outlaws. He ran a
couple of times at the track I
co-own, Attica, he explained
of his involvement. Shortly
after he was injured, he had
no income and a big family,
so we decided to run a benefit
for him in 1988. Basically,
we passed the hat among the
drivers and we chipped in
some of our own. Two years
later, we asked him if we
could rename it the Classic
in his honor and he agreed.
According to Frankart, it
wasnt so easy to actually
benefit Brad.
The thing was, he
wouldnt take the money; he
donated it to the Spinal Cord
Foundation. As it gained

tackling and hitting techniques at all times,


especially before full contact begins.
4. Know and follow the state law on
concussion management protocol: http://
www.ohsaa.org/medicine/Concussions/
ConcussionRegulations.pdf
5. Develop and put into practice an
Emergency Action Plan (will be distributed
by the OHSAA in the fall 2015 as part of the
Anyone Can Save a Life program).
6. Whenever possible, have a certified
athletic trainer present at all football practices
and contests.
7. Continue to place emphasis on hydration.
8. Continue to place emphasis on inclement
weather regulations.

Task Force can be found at the following

IMPROVING THE ALL-STAR GAME


MLB POWER RANKING
ADAM JONES OWNS MAX SCHERZER
LOOK BACK AT 2014 MIDYEAR RANKING

Lets Revamp the


All-Star Game

Charlie Miller

Athlon Sports
Baseball Editor
@AthlonCharlie

Last years MLB Power Ranking at the All-Star break:


A year can make a huge difference
1. As
2. Brewers
3. Dodgers
4. Angels
5. Braves

his is the 14th season that the All-Star Game has counted. If
you recall, way back in 2001, both teams ran out of pitchers and
the game ended in a 7-7 tie after 11 exciting innings, leaving fans
at Miller Park and TV viewers disappointed, to put it mildly.
So, in all his wisdom, Commissioner Bud Selig along with TV
executives led efforts to bring some meaning back to the All-Star
Game, as if the real meaning of an exhibition for the fans had ever left.
The result, of course, is that the All-Star Game now determines homefield advantage for the World Series.
I dont understand how players and teams accept determining homefield advantage by teams elected by the fans in a popularity vote.
With the starters voted in by the fans, some players elected by a survey
of players, and other reserves selected by the managers, how can we expect the best of each league to be there? And without the best vs. the best,
how can we use this game to determine home-field advantage?
The All-Star Game no longer reflects the way the game is played on
a daily basis. Again, how can we allow a game in which no pitcher will
log more than a couple of innings to have such a significant effect on
the World Series? And managers take great pains to get everyone in the
game. Either the All-Star Game is an exhibition in which every player
gets in, or its a serious, must-win game. Straddling that line just doesnt
work.
Here are my suggestions to improve the All-Star Game for the fans.

2) Restructure the voting


I like giving the fans a say in selecting players. Im okay with fans
selecting the starters. But rather than allowing every player to be nominated, narrow the field for the fans. Begin the voting process on June 5
with only six players on the ballot at each position, nominated by the
players and managers. This would prevent undeserving playerslike
Omar Infante of the Royals this seasonfrom being elected to start.
3) Reduce the roster
Do we really need 34 All-Stars from each league? If you take 10 pitchers and have one sub for each position, that would be 26 players. Add
four to make it an even 30. I know its a small change, but it will allow
for some stars to play deeper into the game, which would be a good thing,
in my opinion.
4) Fine-tune the Home Run Derby
Im not a fan of the Home Run Derby, but I understand the popularity.
Open the festivities on Monday night with the Home Run Derby with a
few tweaks.
First, I would create second and third levels in the stands in the outfield that would offer bonus points for hitting longer home runs. In some
stadiums, this could simply be the upper decks. But the hitters should
be rewarded for longer, more prodigious clouts. After all, the longer the
home run, the more fans seem to get excited. I would make the third level
almost impossible to reach. The scoring would be simple and easy for
fans to grasp. A point for a home run in the first level, reaching the second
level would be three points and the third level even more.
Secondly, I would divide the home run area into nine sections from
foul pole to foul pole. Hitters would receive bonus points for each section reached with home runs. That rewards hitters who have power to

Or, some things stay the same

All-Star Game in Cincinnati.

all fields. Again, simple scoring would reward hitters a bonus point for
hitting a home run into a second section. Then maybe even two bonus
points for the third section. Seeing guys trying to go oppo could be fun.
I welcome the bracket aspect of the derby this year. But I would suggest
three innings for each match, and allow only three outs per inning.
I would play the final round like the old Home Run Derby of the
1950s. The two players would alternate for nine innings to determine the
champion. I think that would add drama.
5) Make it a complete All-Star week
Or at least four full days. After the Home Run Derby on Monday
night, I would play the Futures Game the night before the main event. I
really like the idea of the Futures Game. Its a terrific way to reward prospects and give the fans a glimpse into the future, so I wouldnt change
much other than the timing and pitting American League prospects vs.
National League prospectsnot World vs. U.S. The Futures Game
should be played at the site of the All-Star Game on Tuesday night, in
prime time, when theres no other baseball, rather than on Sunday afternoon opposite a full slate of games as it is now. After the All-Star Game
on Wednesday, honor the past with an Old-Timers All-Star Night. That
would be an outstanding opportunity to honor the past and give retired
players another moment in the spotlight. Rather than having the recently
retired John Smoltz face an aging Willie Mays, have a three-inning game
with older players from the 1950s and 60s. Then have a seven-inning
version with more recently retired players like Cal Ripken, Barry Bonds,
Mark McGwire, Chipper Jones, Pedro Martinez, Greg Maddux, Smoltz
and Tom Glavine. You think fans wouldnt flock to see those guys in
uniform one more time?
Oh, and the solution for home-field advantage for four games in the
World Series? How about taking the most wins in interleague play? After
all, that seems to be a more fair and accurate way to judge the better
league anyway.

All-Star break coming at a good time for reeling Redbirds.


Bucs treat Cardinals rather rudely with a pair of walk-offs.
Enter break 4.5 games better than rest of American League.
Good for baseball that Clayton Kershaw will be at All-Star Game.
Angels have been rocking since GM Jerry DiPoto resigned.
Won 14 of last 20 heading into the break.
Beginning to create a little space above AL East foes.
Non-pitchers hitting just .237.
Torrid start turns into horrid July.
Second-best record in AL.
Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant give HR Derby a Cubs flavor.
Swept by first-place Royals last week, then swept Astros.
Nothing helps a team get well like hosting the Phillies for three games.
Will Jays make a big splash at the trade deadline?
Will Os make a big splash at the trade deadline?

As good as Max Scherzer has been this


season and over his career, Adam Jones
of Baltimore has the Washington ace
figured out. After homering twice off of
Scherzer on Sunday, Jones is now hitting
.500 with a 1.500 OPS after 22 regularseason at-bats against Scherzer in his
career. Thats Jones highest average
against any pitcher with as many as 20
at-bats.

TURN BACK THE CLOCK


July 18, 1961
The Milwaukee Braves pull off a double
steal and triple steal in the same inning. With Cincinnatis Jim Maloney on
the mound and Johnny Edwards behind
the plate, Hank Aaron steals third and
Joe Adcock second with Joe Torre at bat.
After a walk to Torre, the three pull off a
triple steal with Aaron stealing home for
the only time in his career.

know the last year there were no American League starters from either Boston
or New York in the All-Star Game?

TRIVIA ANSWER: 1945 was the last time neither team had a
starter in the All-Star Game.

1) Keep it an exhibition game


I know that players treating this game as meaningless is what caused
MLB to overreact in the first place. But heres a thought: Tie players
foundations to the game. Most players have a cause they support, and
if they dont already, being selected to play in the All-Star Game would
give them a reason to find a cause. Only foundations and charities of
players who participate will benefit. Winning players foundations will
benefit more than those of the losers. How many players will beg out of
an opportunity to boost their charitable work? No more than are begging
out now.

The Indians are just 5-14 in reigning Cy Young winner Corey Klubers starts. But it isnt all about
Klubers ineffectiveness. Cleveland has been shut
out three times in his starts, scored just one run
another three times and tallied two runs four times.
Kluber has, um, enjoyed the worst run support
in baseball this season. In the three shutouts,
the Indians were victimized by Dallas Keuchel,
Jeff Samardzija and Sonny Gray...The Cubs Chris
Coghlans consecutive games played streak ended
last week at 150. The new active leader is Kansas
Citys Kendrys Morales at 123...The Cubs Jake
Arrieta ended the first half on a roll. Over his last
five starts, the righthander is 4-0 with a 1.13 ERA,
34 strikeouts and just 21 hits and four walks allowed. If the Cubs are to attain equal status with
St. Louis, Arrieta could play a huge role. For his
career, he owns a 1.63 ERA and 1.047 WHIP in nine
starts against the Redbirds... Mark Buehrle, a
38th-round draft pick of the White Sox in 1999,
has now won at least 10 games for 15 consecutive
seasons. Hes also logged at least 200 innings for
the past 14 seasons and is well on the way to doing
so again this season.

Trashy Teddy Seth McFarlane and his foul-mouth furball strike again. Starring Mark
Wahlberg and Amanda Seyfried.
Directed by Seth McFarlane
R
The bawdy little talking
furball is back. Writer-director
Seth McFarlanes raunchy teddy
bear returns in all his crass,
computer-generated comedic
glory for another round of
surrealist stoner silliness with
his Bostonian best friend, John
(Mark Wahlberg), in this sequel
to the $550-million-grossing
2012 hit.
It begins, as many movies do,
with a wedding, as Ted (voiced
by McFarlane) ties the knot
with his gum-smacking bride,
Tami-Lynn (Jessica Barth).
Soon, however, theres trouble
in paradise: Ted and TamiLynn discover they cant have a
baby, for a couple of reasons
including that Ted, a teddy bear,
lacks the necessary anatomical
equipment. And trying to adopt
creates another problem, which
comes to loom large: The legal
question of whether Ted is a
person or a piece of property.
How you feel about the
humor in Ted 2 will likely align
with how you feel in general
about the work of McFarlane,
whose TV show Family Guy
established and enshrined him as
a golden boy of rollicking, ribald
politically incorrect hilarity. For

some, hes a brilliant, envelopepushing social satirist. Others


lean to the more offended
side of the critical spectrum,
noting his penchant for crude
jokes, scatological humor and
the sharp, scathing edges on
the blades of his irreverent,
insensitive lampoonery.
Theres plenty of all of that,
however you feel about it, in
Ted 2, from the dazzling Busby
Berkeley-inspired
musical
opening credits sequence to the
almost nonstop parade of crude
jokes, celebrity cameos and
gurgling bong hits that follow.
I wont say its not funny, and
some of it is flat-out hilarious.
McFarlane runs his characters
(which include Amanda Seyfried
as a newbie attorney who takes
on Teds personhood case)
through a gamut of R-rated
punch lines and crazily comical
setups. A Liam Neeson walkon, as a grocery-store customer
overly concerned about the ageappropriateness of his breakfast
cereal, is a total hoot. (Stay for
all the credits for the full payoff.)
Jay Leno gamely goes along
with a joke about gay sex.
Characters come to expect the
same (obscene) search suggestion
for any Google query. Teds
bachelor partyremember, hes

a bearfeatures a unique kind of


porn. There a profanely inspired
moment of speculative banter
about what the F. in author F.
Scott Fitzgeralds name really
stands for.
But some things seem
unnecessarily drawn-out and
repetitive, with gags and ploys
from the first movie recycled or
repeatedlike a subplot with
creepy stalker Donny (Giovanni
Ribisi), who wants to slice into
Ted to see what makes him tick.
At one point, John yells Dj
vu! I hear you, sir!
The Kardashians, rocker
Steven Tyler and Harrison Ford
all but assuredly wont like the
jokes made at their expense,
but quarterback Tom Brady was
clearly aboard for his scene, in
which Ted and John infiltrate
his bedroom for an ill-fated
artificial-insemination scheme.
If some of that sounds like
the bottom of comedy barrel,
perhaps youll be a bit more
uplifted by Ted 2s underlying
civics lesson about gay rights,
the struggle of blacks in America
and the inherent dignity of all
living things.

Making summer more energy efficient


BY NATHANIEL SILLIN
Its expected to be a hotter summer this
year, but dont confine your money-saving
efforts to the thermostat.
The warm months can be the best time
to focus on cutting year-round energy costs.
Free of snow, ice and wind, its easier
to spot problems, do repairs and budget
for energy-efficient appliances and fix-up
projects that can save considerable money
in the future.
Your first step should be better tracking
and analysis of the energy you buy. The
most common sources of energy spending are home utilities and fuel costs for
vehicles. However, if you own a vacation
home, operate a business within your residential space or have different vehicles for
land or water, see if you can separate those
numbers so you can more clearly identify
usage patterns month to month and find
ways to cut back.
Think about an energy audit. Whether
you do it yourself or pay for the services of
a certified professional summer is the best
time to do a basement-to-rooftop energy
audit. Some utility companies have home
energy audits online so you can see where
your energy is going. Prospective homeowners might make an energy audit part of
their home inspection process. According
to the U.S. Department of Energy, in 2014,
the average American spent 60 percent
of their energy dollars heating rooms and

water. Another 16 percent goes to lighting,


cooling and food refrigeration. The remainder nearly a quarter of total home energy
uses covers all miscellaneous energy use
in the house.
Then focus on the thermostat. In the
summer, confine heavy air conditioning
use to the hottest nights, and the rest of the
time, try to set the thermostat a little higher
than you do now. For example, the U.S.
Energy Department says that setting your
air conditioning to 78 degrees instead of
72 can save between 6-18 percent on your
summer cooling bill. Before you spend
money on a programmable thermostat or
convert your real-time utility billing to a
budget plan, note that some research questions their value. First, see how much you
can save by shutting off vents and doors
and drawing curtains in unused rooms and
spaces. If you dont have pets, you may
consider setting your thermostat significantly higher than 78 before you leave for
work.
Lights out. Weve all been admonished
to turn off the lights when we leave a room,
but there are other things we can do to capture random, or vampire, energy waste.
Sensors, dimmers and timers can reduce
lighting use, and installing power strips can
keep computers, microwaves, cable boxes,
DVRs and high-end TV sets from sucking
energy even when theyre not turned on.
Unplugging between uses works too. Also,
swapping conventional incandescent bulbs

for compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) can


provide lighting that lasts longer and saves
money on replacements.
Check for tax credits and rebates. Make
a call to your tax professional, check the
Internal Revenue Services website (irs.gov/
uac/Form-5695,-Residential-Energy-Credits)
and EnergyStar.gov for news on residential energy credits for specific replacement
appliances and energy-saving improvements
to your home. Keep in mind that Congress
traditionally acts late each year to renew old
credits or to approve new ones.
Consider energy-smart landscaping.
Keep in mind that well-placed trees and
shrubs can shield a home from the sun and
the elements year-round and potentially
save 25 percent on energy costs annually.
Cars, gas, and public transportation.
If you drive, consolidate errands, fill up
your tank at cheaper times and consider
smartphone apps to find low gas prices for
commuting and vacation use. And if you
dont regularly use public transportation,
start testing it during the summer. The
additional walking most people do when
they take public transportation has health
benefits as well.
Bottom line: This summer, dont just
try to keep cool. Save money by changing
your year-round energy behavior.

LIMA When patients do not feel well, going to the doctor may
be inconvenient or difficult. St. Ritas Health Partners has introduced
a new technology MyChart E-Visits that allows some patients
to communicate electronically with doctors from wherever they are.
Patients with conditions including: back pain, a cold or cough, diarrhea, heartburn, sinus problems or urinary problems can use MyChart
E-Visits. With the E-Visit system, patients will answer a series of questions to inform the doctor of symptoms. The doctor will respond with
recommended treatment or prescribe medicine, if needed.
According to Ronda Lehman, chief operating officer of St. Ritas
Professional Services, MyChart E-Visits are another nice option for
mothers with small children or patients with transportation issues.
E-Visits are timely and convenient.
Patients can expect a response within 24 hours Monday-Friday.
Based on how patients answer E-Visit questions, they may be asked to
schedule a face-to-face visit with their healthcare provider.
MyChart E-Visits are available only with doctors who participate
in the program. If a patients doctor does not offer E-Visits, the patient
will need to schedule an office visit. E-Visits also require patients to
have an account through MyChart a secure, online medical record
and communication system.

Did you know?

Pregnancy
food
cravings have been the
butt of many jokes,
and many husbands to
pregnant women expect
their better halves to request chocolate, French
fries or strange combinations such as pickles
and ice cream during
a pregnancy. Although
theres no definitive
answer why pregnancy
cravings occur, some
feel they must be tied to
nutritional needs, serving as the bodys way
of telling a woman that
it needs particular nutrients. Authors of a study
published in Frontiers in
Psychology delved further into the pregnancy
cravings conundrum.
Coauthor Natalia C. Or-

loff, a graduate student


at SUNY Albany, determined cravings may
be more psychological
than nutritional/physical. She surmises that
women crave certain
foods because these
foods tend to be forbidden or off-limits
in a society so focused
on healthy eating.
During pregnancy, it
may be more socially
acceptable to bite into
a hot-fudge sundae or
enjoy a cheese-topped
burger. However, no
woman, pregnant or
otherwise, should overindulge.
Overeating
can cause weight gain
and potentially negative
consequences for mothers and their babies.

(Continued from page 1)

(Continued from page 1)

She is also a four-time winner of the Buckeye


Creativity Award in the Junior/Senior Division of the
Ohio State University Lima Campus Allen County High
School Creative Art and Writing Competition and a frequent winner of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas
Writing Competition in the essay division.
Winhover can be found at the Delphos Public Library
most evenings performing her library page duties. She
doesnt consider the position a job.
This is my favorite place to be in the world and
this is the best job ever! Winhover said. When I was
younger, I read so much that my parents limited the
number of books I could check out and I had to check
out at least one non-fiction book because I hated reading them. If I screwed up, I was grounded from my
library card.
Her favorite author is Ally Carter, a young-adult
and adult fiction writer. She writes books about spies,
thieves and teenagers. Winhover had the opportunity
to meet Carter and it cemented in her mind what she
wanted to do.
I have read all of Carters books and its pretty cool
to see someone like that in the flesh, Winhover said.
While her dream is to be a published author,
Winhover is trying to be realistic.
I know its really hard to get published, so Im
going to school for professional writing, which will
qualify me for grant-writing and technical writing, she
said. Ill write for me on the side.
Winhover will start her college career in August
at Miami University. She is the daughter of Jay and
Carolyn Winhover and has an older sister, Nicole.

Environmental Health Director


Britt Menchhofer at the Van Wert
County Health Department advised
residents to remove all wet contents
as soon as possible.
She listed mattresses, padding,
stuffed animals, drywall, and furniture as items that should be removed
if contaminated by the floodwater.
Wet carpeting, furniture, bedding, and any other items holding
moisture or water inside the building can develop mold within 24 to
48 hours, according to the Federal
Emergency Management Agencys
National Flood Insurance Program.
If an item has been wet for less than
48 hours, help control mold growth
by cleaning with a phenolic or pineoil cleaner (non-ammonia detergent,
soap, or commercial cleaner) and
disinfecting with a 10 percent bleach
solution (1-1/2 cups of bleach in
a gallon of water). Items should
then be completely dried and monitored for several days for any fungal
growth and odors. If any mold develops, throw the item away.
Menchhofer also said residents
need to dry out the area that has
flooded, which can usually be done
using fans pointed towards the
wet area. FEMAs National Flood
Insurance Program also suggests

Council
(Continued from page 1)
James Kimmett was re-hired as an intermittent
employee for the city, returning from retirement
on an as-needed basis within the wastewater treatment plant. Kimmett holds and has maintained
his Class III Operators License and is qualified
to function in the position of the Wastewater
Superintendent, when needed, at a rate of $25.00
per hour, without benefits.
Numerous streets within the city will see tar
and chipping re-surfacing efforts in conjunction
with the Allen County Engineers. Included in
the efforts are re-surfacing to Main Street from
10th to near the Putnam County line at Pohlman
Road; 13th Street to Washington St.; 9th Street
from Franklin Street to Pierce Street; Ft. Jennings
Road from 3rd to 5th street; Pierce Street from
1st Street to the CCX railroad crossing; and
Franklin Street from Cleveland Street to the CCX
railroad. Total cost to the city for the project is
$15,103.60, appropriated from the Maintenance
Fund. Completion of street improvements is
expected in August.

Murder

Council wrapped up its legislation review,


accepting the contract between the Ohio Council
8, American Federation of State, County, and
Municipal Employees (AFSCME ) AFL-CIO
and the City of Delphos, retroactive to July 1,
2015.
Delphos resident Vicky Tucker advised council of the difficulties that she has experienced
with mold in her Moening Street home and the
ill effects that she has suffered as a result of flood
and sewage water backing up into the crawl space
at her residence. She indicated steps she is taking
to remedy the problem and urged council to take
whatever steps they can to improve the sewer
problems plaguing the city, especially evident due
to the recent record rainfall of the past six weeks.
Council discussed at some length possibile avenues to provide for additional service within the
Maintenance Department to keep the sewer system as clean and functional as possible. As part of
that effort, council requested that residents avoid
blowing grass clippings into the street. The clippings quickly bridge and clog street drains adding
to back up problems and limiting drainage.

using portable dehumidifiers.


Menchhofer advised residents
should thoroughly clean all hard surfaces that has contamination from
floodwater.
Mold can cause respiratory
problems especially with young children, Menchhofer said.
She also mentioned elderly people
having more problems with mold.
It can especially aggravate asthma, Menchhofer noted.
While cleaning mold, Menchhofer
reminds residents to wear a mask,
rubber boots, and sturdy clothing as
a means to limit bare skin contact.
Also residents should open a window or make sure they have fresh air
flowing through the facility they are
cleaning because exposure to fumes
from bleach and other cleaning materials can be harmful as well.
Besides mold, the floodwater can
also cause issues with private wells.
If flooding has been near or over the
casing, the well should be properly
disinfected, which a list of how to
do this can be found on the Van
Wert County Health Departments
website.
Menchhofer said if people are
concerned about their well water, the
Van Wert County Health Department
will do water samples to see if it is
safe to drink.

(Continued from page 1)


Council then passed three ordinances on
emergency, each related to street construction
and repair. The first accorded Bluffton Paving
a contract within the village. The second
modified language in an ordinance concerning
a state-prioritized construction effort along
State Route 309, the villages portion of which
is $220,000. Finally, council addressed a language change in an ordinance which allows
the village to seek grant funding from Ohio
Public Works. Under the provisions of the
revised ordinance, the village will seek a sum
not to exceed $173,101 from OPW, with
the monies used to greatly offset the villages
$220,000 share of the SR 309 project.
In other business, council:
heard that plans are moving ahead for the
construction of a new Town Hall and scheduled a council-as-a-whole meeting to review
architectural plans and estimated costs on July
30 at 7 p.m.
were informed that the village received
a portable breath analyzer through participation in the State of Ohios Click It or Ticket
campaign.
were informed that a village resident,
Connie Plummer, has volunteered the materials and labor to clean up the triangle near
Neiderts.
The next regular meeting of the Elida
Village Council is scheduled for July 28 at
7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall.

The board also approved the


purchase of a single 66-passenger
Bluebird school bus from Cardinal
Bus Sales and Service at a cost of
$75,380. The board initially considered the purchase of two buses,
but, in light of the potential cost
involved in replacing windows at
the high school, opted to purchase
just one.
District Treasurer Brad Rostorfer
advised the board that the district
received a bequest from a Jefferson
High alumnus. Melvin Hoover,
class of 1954, willed the district
$50,000 as the principal for a continuing scholarship fund. Rostorfer
and Board President Andy North
speculated that the donation will
generate roughly $2,000 to $4,000
annually.
While the board gratefully accepted the bequest, debate continued as
to which financial vehicle would
provide the greatest benefit, how best
to administer the funds. Discussion
on the matter was tabled pending
review by the finance committee
and further research into available
options.
Addressing an opportunity to
improve the science curriculum at
the middle school, Wolfe informed

available at no cost to children.


Prizes include bicycles

eligible for any prizes.
Fishing has been really
good lately. Crappie, bluegill, catfish, bass and even
some large carp are biting

the board that the Van Wert County
commissioners approached the
district with a proposal. See the
Change, an academic program that
offers physics curriculum assistance
targeted at middle school students,
may be made available at little
or no cost to the district through
the commissioners. Typically associated with a $50,000 fee, Wolfe
explained that the commissioners
have offered to pay most, if not all,
of the cost through a grant available
to them. At most, he felt that the
district might have to pick up its
share of a $10,000 surplus not covered by the grant.
Im meeting with the other three
schools sometime in the next week
or so to discuss this, Wolfe said.
Id hate to see the other districts get
this and we dont.
Wolfe was directed by board
members to update them as new
information becomes available.
The board also awarded Katherine
Hickey a one-year contract as multiple handicap teacher at Franklin
