DELPHOS The third weekend
in September is a special time for
Delphos, with the annual Canal Days
Festival drawing area residents of all
ages, with something for everyone.
The Toast to the City takes place the
Thursday before Canal Days week-
end, an official kick-off for the fes-
tivities.
Delphos residents Sue Vonderwell
and Gina Fritz are two of the women
responsible for planning the toast.
Ive been a part of the com-
mittee since 2009. I work at First
Financial Bank and was interested
in community involvement, not only
on a personal level but also a busi-
ness level, Vonderwell said. When
Diane Sterling asked me to join, I
thought it might be a nice way to get
involved and since all the other com-
mittee members were friends of mine,
that made the decision even easier.
My husband Eric is one of
the original four guys on the Core
Committee who took over Canal
Days planning quite a few years ago,
Fritz commented. It was a rather
small festival before they took over.
Adding The Toast was a great idea
and Diane approached us wives to
help. I was there all weekend helping
anyway, so I was thrilled to be a part
of planning this event.
Each of the nine women have their
own tasks but on the whole, planning
is a collaborative effort.
I am in charge of ordering the
wines and serving it as well as help-
ing with all other aspects, Fritz said.
We work extremely well as a group.
Our entire committee works togeth-
er on all aspects, Vonderwell added.
Weve worked together for enough
years that we have it down to a science.
We each have our own forte so to speak,
but we pretty much do whatever it takes
to make this evening a great kick-off for
Canal Days weekend.
The theme for Canal Days 2013
is Feel the Magic, and The Toast
ladies have booked Paul Krendl of
Krendl and Company to be the enter-
tainment.
This years theme is all about
magic, Fritz said. We are lucky to
have a home-grown magician return-
ing for the weekend to entertain us.
Were thrilled he agreed to come.
Krendl will perform two 15-minute
shows and an hour-and-a-half show.
With three months until Canal
Days, Vonderwell says the committee
doesnt have everything planned out
yet but some things are in the works.
There will also be several local
restaurants in attendance so guests
can sample what our great city has
to offer, she said. Along with wine
samples, it is sure to be a great eve-
ning once again.
Both women enjoy the time they
spend helping to get Canal Days off
to a great start.
I honestly dont have a favorite
part of the Canal Days experience.
Its my favorite weekend of the year,
Fritz said. Volunteering for Canal
Days is highly satisfying. The hours
my husband and the Core Committee
puts in on a strictly volunteer basis
is amazing. Many of us are small
business owners, so any way to make
Delphos thrive is important to us. We
are all very proud of our small town
and seeing all come together for a
weekend of fun is awesome.
I really enjoy the camarade-
rie of the entire Canal Days staff,
Vonderwell said. They have so much
fun but they work hard at the same
time. I also like that this gives me
an opportunity to take a break from
home, work, just normal everyday
life. I get the satisfaction of a job well
done. At the same time we are mak-
ing money for our city and thats what
Canal Days is all about, our city.

very rewarding.

Ohio veterans running out of time for bonuses
By LISA CORNWELL
Associated Press
CINCINNATI Time is
running out for eligible mili-
tary veterans to claim Ohio
bonuses of up to $1,500, and
officials are worried that thou-
sands of veterans may miss out
by not applying.
Navy veteran Robert Erb
III describes his bonus for ser-
vice in the Persian Gulf and
Afghanistan war eras as a real
blessing for him and his fam-
ily.
You dont join for the ben-
efits, but they can really help
when you come back home,
said Erb, 41, of northeast
Ohios Fairport Harbor.
Ohio voters in 2009
approved a $200 million bond
issue to fund bonuses for
veterans of the Persian Gulf,
Afghanistan and Iraq war eras,
and the Persian Gulf-era appli-
cation deadline is Dec. 31.
While over $55.7 million
has been paid to more than
66,000 veterans or family
members for all three bonus
periods since August 2010,
there could be as many as
90,000 who havent applied,
including probably several
thousand from the Persian
Gulf era, according to the
Ohio Department of Veterans
Services.
Our Persian Gulf-era vet-
erans need to take action right
away, department Director
Tom Moe said.
While about 10,000 veter-
ans from that era have received
bonuses, officials cant
say how many still need to
apply, department spokesman
Michael McKinney said.
The U.S. Department of
Veterans Affairs estimates just
over 100,000 Ohioans served
during the Persian Gulf era.
But the VA looks at a lon-
ger time period than the bonus
period and state and county
officials say they dont get
general information from the
Department of Defense on
returning veterans and when
they served.
The VA estimates that
75,000 to 80,000 Ohioans have
served since 9/11.
State officials and county
veterans commissions that
help with the applications
have worked to provide bonus
information through traditional
media ads, social media, vet-
erans events and other means.
The state last week approved
a direct mailing to Ohioans
with birthdays from 1950 or
later who identify themselves
as veterans on drivers license
renewals, McKinney said.
But officials know they
havent reached everyone.
The executive direc-
tor of the Cuyahoga County
Veterans Service Commission
in northeast Ohio says veter-
ans tend to put more weight
on what they hear from fel-
low veterans.
Despite all we do to get
the word out, most tell us:
My buddy told me, Robert
Schloendorn said.
The executive director of
the Butler County Veterans
Service Commission in south-
west Ohio believes some may
be reluctant because they
think its a handout.
By The Associated Press
Some facts on Ohio bonuses for veterans for service
during eras of Persian Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
Eligible veterans may receive $100 for each month
spent on active duty in the compensated periods up to a
maximum $1,000 for service in specified war zones.
Eligible veterans on active duty, excluding train-
ing, serving anywhere else during those times may
receive $50 a month up to a maximum $500.
Veterans may receive a bonus of up to $1,500 for
all eligible service during the compensated periods.
Family members of veterans killed in action or
who died from injuries or illness sustained in Persian
Gulf, Afghanistan or Iraq service in specified war zones
may be eligible for a $5,000 bonus and whatever bonus
the veteran earned per month up to a maximum $6,500.
Bonuses not subject to state or federal income
taxes.
Bonus applications available online at www.
veteransbonus.ohio.gov or at any of Ohios 88 county
Veterans Services Commission offices.
Veterans may call 1-877-OHIOVET for paper
applications and to determine documentation needed to
support applications.

The couple was keep-

Work begins on solar array at Vantage Career Center
BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Correspondent
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT - The Beatles song,
Good Day Sunshine, will hold
extra meaning at Vantage Career
Center starting later this summer.
Superintendent Staci Kaufman
told the Times Bulletin that final
permits for the schools solar array
were approved on May 31 and con-
struction on the project began on
June 3. She expects electricity to be
produced for the school building by
August 1. That sounds like a quick
turnaround but in reality this project
has been years in the planning.
For the past three years we have
been interested in solar power,
Kaufman said. Once we knew
we would be providing alternative
energy training for wind turbines, it
made sense to add the solar aspect
for the curriculum.
The idea began three years ago
with one company but Vantage later
changed to Solar Planet as its part-
ner on the project. Negotiations
with Solar Planet were complet-
ed earlier this year and now the
array construction is moving for-
ward quickly thanks to good pre-
planning. Two years ago when the
Vantage grounds were already torn
up for the recent building and reno-
vation project, conduit was placed
for the array. That thinking ahead
means that all the below ground
infrastructure was ready to go when
the permits were completed. As a
part of the agreement, Solar Planet
will reimburse the school for the
costs of the conduit installation.
Kaufman said the project is a
one-megawatt array comprised of
approximately 4,200 solar panels.
This is larger than the originally
planned three-quarter-megawatt
production and when it is up and
functioning fully on a clear day, it
could provide up to 80 percent of
Vantages electricity requirements.
The system runs off a dual meter
through AEP and the school will
draw its electricity first from solar
power before tapping into the grid.
Much like the wind turbine agree-
ments in Van Wert County, the
school owns the land but Solar
Planet is the owner of the array. The
agreement spells out the costs of
the electricity over the 25-year life
of the contract and Kaufman said it
will save the school money.
Many of the peak electricity pro-
ducing days for the solar array do
not fall within the school year for
high school students but most of
the adult programs at Vantage are
conducted year-round. That does
cut into the fiscal savings but does
not take into consideration the main
benefit of the solar array.
(Solar) wont be a new program
(at Vantage Career Center) but there
will certainly be aspects of that
worked into our existing programs,
Kaufman said. Neither wind alone
or solar training alone is enough to
generate the demand to outweigh
the costs of providing a new pro-
gram. But we have found, as career
tech has across Ohio, that the alter-
native energy field programs work
best when linked to your build-
ing trades, your electricity, because
the concepts are common across
those trades. So you start with the
basic core and then you add alter-
native energy as a component of
that curriculum. She pointed out
that alternative energy theories and
study is already a part of the science
programs at Vantage. The array will
keep the school at the forefront of
training as only a handful of other
school districts across Ohio provide
the same opportunity.
Kaufman said it is hard to over-
state how valuable a teaching tool
the array will provide. Much of the
readouts are Internet-based so stu-
dents and teachers will be able to
access the solar power grid to see in
real time what is happening in the
array. Solar Planet has also agreed
to construct a green energy lab.
Trade and science students will be
able to access the lab for classroom
experience. Kaufman said plans to
make it available for field trips for
nearby schools as well. The green
energy lab should be completed
next Fall.
Offcials expect electricity
generation by August
Construction on the solar array at Vantage Career Center began on June 3. It is expected to be producing
electricity for the school by August 1. (Times Bulletin/Lindsay McCoy)
Marion Township
Trustees
The Marion Township
Trustees held their regu-
lar scheduled meeting on
Tuesday. at the Marion
Township Office with the
following members present
Joseph Youngpeter, Howard
Violet and Jerry Gilden.
The purpose of the meet-
ing was to pay bills and
conduct ongoing business.
The minutes of the previ-
ous meeting were read and
approved as read. The trust-
ees then reviewed the bills
and gave approval for 14
checks totaling $12,356.08.
Fire Chief Tom Hadding
and Trustee Paul Basinger
from American Township,
were present to discuss the
upcoming Fire and EMS
Contract. After some dis-
cussion, they stated that if
there were no changes made
to the contract, the cost of
the contract is projected to
remain the same.
Road Foreman Elwer
said that the county is work-
ing on the Townships Road
Program with it almost
being completed.
Fiscal Officer Kimmet
gave the trustees the
Fund Status and Bank
Reconciliation reports for
their review and signature.
A resolution was need-
ed to change the Annual
Appropriations, which is in
the resolution section 79,
and will be part of these
minutes.
He gave the trustees a
copy of the budget for 2014
for their review and advised
that he will put the required
ad in the paper regarding a
public hearing to be held on
July 8.
Youngpeter and Gilden
attended a viewing regard-
ing vacating an alley in
the Landeck area. They
asked Elwer to contact the
Engineers office to see if
the county records agreed
with the survey that was
done.
Trustee Gilden stated that
the Zoning Appeals Board
will meet on June 27.
There being no fur-
ther business, a motion to
adjourn by Gilden was sec-
onded by Violet and passed
unanimously.
Tornado blows sign from Willshire to Findlay
BY LINDSAY MCCOY
DHI Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
WILLSHIRE - The power of the storm
system that moved through the area on
Wednesday was again revealed on Friday
when a resident of Findlay called to report
they had found a sign from Willshire. D.D.
Strickler, a local real estate agent, reported
he had a for-sale sign for a home on State
Route 81 just west of Willshire prior to the
storm.
After Wednesday nights tornado struck
the area of Willshire, this real estate sign
could no longer be located. Strickler
contacted Van Wert County Emergency
Management Director Rick McCoy on
Friday morning advising he had received
a phone call from a woman in Findlay
reporting she had found the realty sign
stuck in the eves of her home.
McCoy contacted the National Weather
Service Office in North Webster, Ind.,
and spoke with meteorologists on just
how the sign had been carried over 70
miles to the northeast when the entire
storm system and tornado was headed in
a southerly direction. Upon reviewing the
radar, satellite,and computer data, it was
determined that a low level jet stream was
present right over Willshire when the tor-
nado hit which enabled this storm to spin
up a tornado.
When the realty sign was hit by this tor-
nado, the updraft of the storm was strong
enough to carry the sign to the top of the
storm and into the moving jet stream which
was positioned over Willshire as well as up
through the Findlay area. It carried the sign
throughout the distance of the jet stream
and dropped it in Findlay.
It was amazing to watch all of the char-
acteristics of this storm and not see more
damage done to the area, said McCoy.
The Willshire tornado was rated an EF-0
with winds of 80-85 mph. Another tor-
nado was confirmed a half-mile south
of Van Wert/Mercer County Line Rd. on
River Trail Rd. A third tornado struck the
Wapakoneta area. Weather Service person-
nel also concluded that four different tor-
nados touched down in Henry County near
the Napoleon area.
This instance of a sign being carried
such a far distance shows the extreme
power and ability of the storms that cross
through the Van Wert area. While the
county often does not see the cataclysmic
storms that are seen out West, these smaller
storms have the potential to leave an area
with unique and sometime strange damage

Flu cases in Ohio
most since state
began tracking
DAYTON (AP) The Ohio
Department of Health says flu
cases this past season were the
most since it began keeping count.
Stats show that 5,200 Ohioans
were hospitalized with the flu
from September last year through
mid-May 18.
Thats even up from 2009-
2010 when the swine flu pan-
demic when there were 3,200
flu-related hospitalizations in the
state.
State health officials tell The
Dayton Daily News that its hard
to say why there were so many
cases during the past flu season.
They say theres no indication
that a new virus led to the spike in
hospitalizations.
The numbers do show that the
flu season began about a month
earlier than normal and hospital-
izations started going up in mid-
December.

Man of Steel takes flight with $125M debut
LOS ANGELES (AP) Man of Steel leaped over
box office expectations in a single weekend.
The Warner Bros. superhero film earned $113 million in
its opening weekend at the box office, according to studio
estimates Sunday. The retelling of Supermans backstory
earned an additional $12 million from Thursday screenings,
bringing its domestic total to $125 million. Original box-
office expectations for Man of Steel ranged from $75
million to $130 million.
They finally got the Superman formula right, said
Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-office tracker
Hollywood.com. Superhero movies really are the bread
and butter of the summer box office. The fact that Iron
Man 3 has the biggest opening of the year so far and Man
of Steel has the second biggest opening of the year just
proves that.
Man of Steel, which stars Henry Cavill as Superman
and Amy Adams as Lois Lane, also nabbed the record
for Junes biggest opening away from Toy Story 3, the
Disney-Pixar film which banked $110.3 million when
it opened in 2010. Superman Returns, the previous
Superman film starring Brandon Routh in the titular role,
launched with $52.5 million in 2006.
The new take on Supermans origin also performed
solidly overseas, earning $71.6 million from 24 territories,
including the Philippines, India, Malaysia and the United
Kingdom, where Man of Steel earned $17.1 million. The
film, which also stars Russell Crowe and Michael Shannon,
is set to open next weekend in 27 more territories, such as
Russia and China.
Sonys This Is the End debuted in second place in
North America behind Man of Steel with $20.5 mil-
lion in its opening weekend. The comedy starring Seth
Rogen, James Franco and Jonah Hill as versions of them-
selves trapped in a mansion during the apocalypse opened
Wednesday, earning a domestic total of $32.8 million. The
film cost just $32 million to produce.
We knew we were going to have competition, but we
felt our movie stood on its own and had its own voice,
said Rory Bruer, Sonys president of worldwide distribu-
tion. I believe weve absolutely proven that. To have this
amount of money in the bank with its cost of production,
good reviews and word of mouth really puts our feet on
solid ground.
In its third weekend at the box office, the Lionsgate illu-
sionist heist film Now You See Me fleeced $10.3 million
in third place, bringing its total domestic haul to $80 mil-
lion. Universals Fast & Furious 6 arrived in fourth place
with $9.4 million, while the studios invasion horror film
The Purge starring Ethan Hawke scared up $8.2 million
in the fifth spot.
The super openings of Man of Steel and This Is the
End helped to lift the box office 50 percent over last year
when Madagascar 3 and Prometheus held on to the top
spots. Man of Steel will face off against stiff competition
next week when Paramounts zombie thriller World War
Z and the Disney-Pixars prequel Monsters University
both debut.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at
U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.
