Council OKs tax incentive for K&M Tire warehouse

BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS A proposed 84,000-squarefoot warehouse addition at K&M Tire on
Spencerville Road in Delphos will move
forward after Delphos City Council passed
on emergency measure a tax abatement for
the company and property owner Langhals
Enterprise, LLC.
Company President Ken Langhals
addressed council prior to the vote and outlined the project.
The new building will be going up on
the south side of the existing building,
Langhals said. I am asking for the tax
abatement so I can put that warehouse up
here. There are a lot of other states I have
warehouses in that would be more advantageous as far as doing business but I live
here and would prefer to keep it here.
The addition will create 25 jobs in the

Group Director Jeff Sprague also addressed
council on behalf of K&M Tire.
We do keep an eye on these projects and
make sure the companies are doing what
they said they would when they ask for the
abatements and Mr. Langhals has fulfilled
all his obligations when he presented the
project and we revisit all these agreements
within Allen County each year to make sure
what was proposed is happening, Sprague
said.
Sue Gerker, director of the Delphos
Economic Development Group, outlined
her duties and what she is doing to prepare
Delphos to attract business and industry.
I am doing an inventory of available
lands and buildings in Delphos so we are
ready when people come looking, Gerker
said.
She also outlined the Community
Recruitment Area program and urged
Delphos to develop the program locally.

FORT JENNINGS Veteran and Ombudsman Director of
Ohio ESGR (Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve) Randy
Gasser spoke with council members at the Tuesday night meeting
detailing the plans for an unprecedented military event during Fort
Fest this August.
On Aug. 15 the Saturday of Fort Fest there will be a
military event encompassing making Putnam County Military
Supportive with as many as 72 Fort Jennings employers and many
surrounding county employers participating in a group signing of the
Statement of Support a non-binding document stating their support for the Guard and Reserve. Gasser is looking for 500 signatures.
All the news media coverage including CNN, ABC and NBC
will be handled by Washington. Governor Kasich and state representatives have been invited, Gasser said. The National Guard
Armory will supply security and Governor Kasich will have his
own security team. This will be the largest event of this kind ever
held in the state.
The event will begin in the old high school gymnasium at 10:30
a.m. where there will be presentations from retired Major/General
Paul Mock, Major General Mark Bartman, retired Brigadier General
Steve Koper, Medal of Honor recipient Corporal Ronald Rosser and
POW USAF Captain Guy Gruthers.
Gasser said there will be many static military vehicle displays,
dignitaries may arrive in Huey helicopters and there is a tentative
plan for a fly-over at noon.
We will also present the Patron Award to a National Guard or
Reserve member, Gasser said. The event will be moved to the new
high school gym if there is inclement weather.
More details will be released when plans are firmed up.

Kiwanis Club of Lima distributes 1,500 tree seedlings
The Kiwanis Club of Lima made its annual foray out in to the county with tree seedling for first-graders. The club
distributed 1,500 Chestnut Oak seedlings and the Allen County Soil and Water Conservation District delivered about
the same number of fir trees to third-graders. The Kiwanis Tree Project was started in 1986 by James A McDonell,
a Kiwanis member who acquired trees with his own resources and delivered them to two Lima schools. The project
grew over the years and when Mr. McDonell passed away in 1992, the Kiwanis Club of Lima took over the project and
expanded it to include all Allen County first-grade students. Above: Kiwanis member Millie Hughes gives seedlings

House panel

2016 primary
COLUMBUS (AP) An
Ohio House committee has
approved a bill moving the
date of Ohios 2016 primary
election back a week.
The bill passed by the
Government Accountability
and Oversight Committee on
Tuesday would move the primary to March 15 in 2016.
Its currently set for March 8,
the first Tuesday after the first
Monday of the month.
Sponsoring Rep. Mike
Dovilla, a Berea Republican,
says the date change would
meet newly-set Republican
National Committee rules that
take delegates from states that
hold their primaries too early.
Democrats voted against
the bill. They said that moving the primary to May 3 or
after would help both parties
maximize their delegates.
1 dead, 18 ill
with botulism
symptoms after
church picnic
LANCASTER (AP)
One person has died and at
least 18 others are ill with suspected food-borne botulism
after attending a church picnic
in central Ohio, a hospital said
Tuesday.
The Fairfield County
Medical Center in Lancaster
said in a release that three
people were in intensive care
Tuesday, 10 had been taken to
other hospitals and five were
being treated in the hospitals
emergency department. One
death has been confirmed,
spokeswoman Donna Stalter
said Tuesday night.
The release said the hospital believes all the patients
were among 50 to 60 people
who attended a church potluck picnic at Cross Pointe
Free Will Baptist Church on
Sunday.
One patient on Tuesday
morning was determined to
have suspected botulism by
a neurologist at the hospital, and two other cases were
identified soon after that,
according to the hospital.
Symptoms include double vision, blurred vision,
drooping eyelids, difficulty
swallowing and shortness of
breath, health officials said.
Botulism is a rare but serious paralytic illness caused by
a nerve toxin that is produced
by a certain kind of bacteria,
Department of Health spokesman Russ Kennedy said.
He said the department
worked with the federal
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention to arrange
for a botulism anti-toxin
to be delivered to Ohio on
Tuesday night from a national
stockpile to be used to treat
patients. The departments lab
is also testing the patients and
will assist the county health
district in investigating the
source of the illness.
The hospital stressed that
botulism is not contagious.
Symptoms usually begin
within 18 to 36 hours after
consuming
contaminated
food, but can occur up to 10
days later.

St. Ritas brings 3D

Mammography to region
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
LIMA It seems that

everyone you ask has a story
about how Breast Cancer has
touched thema mother, a
daughter, a sister, a friend.
herself. Breast Cancer is the
most common cancer among
American women, except for
skin cancers. And about 1
in 8 women in the US will
develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime. And
while research continues to
uncover promising treatments
for the disease, clinicians all
agree that early detection is
critical to improving success
stories for patients.
The team at the St. Ritas
Womens Wellness Center
has taken yet another step
in the fight against breast
cancer. On Tuesday, the first
3D Mammography unit was
available to patients. The St.
Ritas Foundation is simultaneously raising money to
purchase two additional units
with hopes to have those in

place by 2016.
There are certain individual characteristics that will
make 3D mammography the
better choice for patients,
says Nicole Nelson, Medical
Director for St. Ritas
Radiology
Department.
Those with dense breasts
or who have scar tissue, for
example, will be encouraged
to consider this new option.
This new mammography
exam will feel very similar to
the traditional 2D; however,
the images will allow doctors
to examine breast tissue layer
by layer. So, instead of viewing a flat image, fine details
are no longer hidden by tissue
above or below.
In addition to detecting 41
percent more invasive breast
cancers, 3D mammography
also has shown to reduce false
positives by up to 40 percent,
reducing the stress and sleepless nights for women who
are called back for further
testing.

Girl scout camps set open houses
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
Girl Scouts of Western Ohio invites girls in grades K-12
to visit Camp Whip Poor Will in Warren County and Camp
Woodhaven in Lima to learn more about summer camp.
Activities include a fun camp activity and tour of camp facilities.
The Camp Whip Poor Will Open House will be held from
2-4 p.m. Saturday and the Camp Woodhaven open house is
from 1-3 p.m. Saturday.
Going to camp is more than making smores and sitting
around the campfire, Outdoor Program and Partnerships
Team Leader for Girl Scouts of Western Ohio Vicki Proctor
said. Girls grow and feel empowered by doing things on their
own. They overcome fears, learn how to work as a team, and
develop leadership skills. From sleeping in a cabin, to making
new friends, to rock climbing, a whole new world is opened
up to them, often for the very first time.
A portion of the funds raised through the annual Girl Scout
Cookie Program helps to provide the financial assistance, or
camperships to girls and their families who are experiencing financial hardship.
Every girl should have the opportunity to experience the
fun and excitement of Girl Scout Camp! said Proctor.
People interested in attending the open house can contact
Proctor at vickiproctor@gswo.org or 937.279.6534.
Camp Registration open now
Girl Scout Camps are located in Allen, Defiance, Miami
and Warren counties. Girls can select from a menu of exciting
activities including archery, swimming, watercrafts, acting/
drama, hiking, adventure trips, and more. Prices for individual
sessions start at $20. A complete list can be found in the 2015

Girl Scout Camp Brochure or online at gswo.org/camp.
Benefits of Outdoor Experience
According to a recent study by the Girl Scout Research
Institute, More Than Smores, girls benefit immensely from
time spent outdoors. Girls who regularly spend time outdoors
eclipse their peers who spend less time outdoors in environmental stewardship, more readily seek challenges, and are
better problem solvers all important traits in 21st century
leadership.
Outdoor experiences are also particularly beneficial to girls
of comparatively low socioeconomic status (SES). More Than
Smores finds that lower-SES girls who have regular outdoor
exposure through Girl Scouts are likely to credit Girl Scouts
with helping them become leaders.
People can find out more information about Girl Scout
camps, volunteer, or join at gswo.org, 888-350-5090 or customerservice@gswo.org.

A beautiful April spring day! Sun is shining and the mercury on the thermometer keeps rising. I love this weather and all
the signs that spring is here. The tulips are looking really nice.
Everyone here at the Eicher house is gone for the day
except me. My husband Joe, son Benjamin, and daughters
Elizabeth, Susan, and Verena are all at
their jobs working. The four youngest are
at school.
It is too quiet with everyone gone
except for Elizabeths two Yorkie dogs,
Crystal and Izzy. Right now they are both
sleeping. It takes me longer to get things
done without Verenas help. Yesterday I
washed all the laundry and it is surprising
how much longer it takes if you do it all
alone. It was a nice laundry day and the
girls helped me get the clothes in and fold
them after they were home from work. It
goes so much faster when everyone takes
their own clothes up to their bedrooms.
On Friday, son Benjamin was in a two-vehicle accident
on his way home from helping Mose at his sawmill. We are
thankful he wasnt hurt and the rest involved had only minor
injuries. It could have been such a different ending. God truly
was watching over them. It reminds us how quickly life could
change.
We are enjoying dandelion salad. I will share the recipe this
week since we have quite a few new readers that might like
the recipe.
We had to get back into the school routine after the children
were home for a week on spring break. Joseph, 12, milks our
cow Bessie before he gets ready for school in the mornings.
He times himself on how long it takes to milk her. He is getting faster at it. He said he wants to milk her in eight to ten
minutes like I can. I told him he has to build his muscles up
and he should be able to. When we milked cows at home we
had some that milked easy and some harder. Bessie is an easy
cow to milk.
I want to make butter from the cream this afternoon. Susan
brought a yogurt starter home from Moses mother Rosanna
and tried her luck at making yogurt with Bessies milk. She
tasted Rosannas yogurt and really liked it when she was at
their house. I never made yogurt so hopefully I will learn now.
Before I go on with my work I want to answer some letters
from my readers. It is a busy time of the year so please bear
with me. Ill try my best to answer everyone.
I owe a big thank you to my friends Jim and Ruth. I live in
Michigan and my mail goes to South Holland, Illinois. Jim or
Ruth always delivers my mail. I really do appreciate the time
they take to do this.
Also, thanks to Pauline for sending the box of books for
the girls. They were very excited. You will receive a personal
reply from them.
May God bless everyone who has in some way helped or
encouraged me to keep writing!
This is a recipe for dandelions smothered in our favorite
homemade sour cream. You can, however, use just the sour
cream part for other seasonal greens as well. This same sour
cream is great when used with in-season, fresh-from-the-garden lettuce and endive. Home-cured ham also goes well with
it. Any unused sour cream can be refrigerated for up to two
days.
Dandelion Sour Cream Salad
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup apple cider vinegar
2 1/2 cups whole milk
Salt (to taste)
4 hard-boiled eggs, diced
4 cups packed young dandelion greens
Combine the mayonnaise, vinegar,
milk, and salt in a quart jar. Shake
until smooth. Put the eggs and dandelion
greens in a large bowl and pour the sour
cream mixture over them. Serves 4 to 6

St. Johns comeback

falls short at Minster
By LARRY HEIING
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
MINSTER The St.
Johns baseball team played
its first of six straight road
games Tuesday night under
blustery conditions at Minster.
The Blue Jays fought back
from an 8-run deficit but
fell 9-6 in Midwest Athletic
Conference action.
St. Johns threatened in the
first inning against Minsters
Matt Trushaw as Seth Linder
became the first base-runner
of the contest, drawing a 1-out
walk. Jaret (a.k.a. Buddy)
Jackson stroked a solid double
to the fence in right, putting a
pair of birds in scoring position. Trushaw avoided further
first-inning trouble with a
strikeout and ground out as
the pair was stranded.
Eric Vogt started for St.
Johns and retired Minster in
order as the game remained
scoreless.
Jorden Boone reached for
the Jays in the second inning
after getting hit by a Trushaw
pitch but became the third runner left on base by St. Johns
in the first two innings.
The Wildcats JR Nixon
doubled to lead off the home
half of the second and later
scored on a ground out. Drew
Ripploh also doubled in the
inning and came home on
a wild pitch. St. Johns displayed disciplined defense by
the infield as shortstop Josh
Warnecke
fired to catcher Jackson to
nail a Wildcat base-runner,
saving a run as the Jays trailed
2-0.
After being shut out
against MAC foe Coldwater
on Friday, St. Johns finally
broke their scoreless streak in
the third inning. Senior Austin
Heiing led off with a single to
center and moved into scoring
position with a theft of second.
Vogt took matters into his own
hands, singling down the
third-base line to plate Heiing
as St. Johns trailed 2-1.
The Wildcats added a pair
of runs in the third as names
from the 70s accounted for the
majority of the offense. Peter
Falk (Columbo) led off with
an infield single and scored on
a hit by (President) Nixon to
extend the lead to 4-1.
After St. Johns went down
in order in the top of the fourth
inning, the Wildcats blew the
game open with five runs,
highlighted by a Ripploh triple with doubles by Falk and
Nixon.
Brandon Slate came on in
relief for the Jays and retired
Minster in order in the fifth
inning, allowing the St. Johns
offense an opportunity to
reload.
Junior Jesse Ditto led off

with a shot to center for a double. The Jays put runners on
the corners on a hit by Jacob
Youngpeter. Boone scored
Ditto by doing what a senior
should do by putting the ball
into play with a ground out to
second. Warnecke continued
the
rally with a hit to score
Youngpeter as the Jays
chipped away to trail 9-3.
The Jays defense helped
Slate retire the Wildcats 1-2-3
for the second straight inning
with a double play to head to
their final at bat.
Seth Linder led off the seventh inning with a double, followed by Jacksons third hit
of the night to put two on with
no outs. Vogts pop to center
was misplayed by Minster in
the high winds as mayhem
took place on the base-paths
with an overthrow back to
first base scoring Linder and
Jackson. Youngpeters second
base knock drove in Vogt and
suddenly St. Johns was back
in the game. Minster reliever
Falk recorded the last out to
end the comeback and sent
cold, wind-blown fans back to
their cars.
St. Johns bats came alive
to pound out 13 hits in the
game but stranded nine runners on base.
Minster, meanwhile, had
11 hits but used timely hitting
to score three more runs to
secure the win.
The Blue Jays (6-5, 0-3
MAC) road trip continues
tonight against Bath (Western
Buckeye League) at 5 p.m.

DELPHOS With a
gusty wind blowing out at
Jeffersons Lady Wildcat
Field Tuesday afternoon, one
might have expected a more
offensively-oriented fast-pitch
softball clash.
One would have been right.
The visiting Lady Pirates
went yard three times twice
by freshman Amber Logan
and smacked six extra-base
hits in holding on for a 10-6
non-league triumph over the
host Lady Wildcats.
Continental (5-3) got leadoff batter Alex Quigley to
third on a single to open the
game, stolen base and fielders choice.
Jefferson tried to go up in
the home first against Pirate
complete-game starter Emma
Recker on a 1-out free pass
to Claire Thompson, a Jessica
Pimpas sacrifice and an
infield single up the middle by
Shayla Rice. Rice stole second but both runners remained
stranded.
The visitors went up 2-0 in
the top of the second against
Jefferson complete-game starter Thompson. Amelia Weller
got aboard on a dropped third
strike and throwing error and a
Logan round-tripper to center.
However, Weller was called
out for missing third rounding the bases. The second run
came on a 1-out forceout of
Jeffersons Kaylin Hartsock slides in for a score before the ball can get to Continental
catcher Amber Logan during non-league fast-pitch softball action on a windy Tuesday afternoon at Lady Wildcat Field. (DHI Media/Jim Metcalfe)
Ashley Mansfield (who had
singled) by Jade Zachrich and
then a run-scoring 3-base hit
to center by Alivia Homier.
Delphos got one back
in the home half: a Kaylin
Hartsock leadoff knock
to center, two passed balls
(the second with one out)
and a Maddy Jettinghoff
ground ball to third baseman
Quigley, with Hartsock beating the throw home for a 2-1
deficit.
Continental went up 6-1 in
the visitor third. Kayla Troyer
singled and McKenna Scott
rocked an RBI triple to center. On a dropped strike three,

catcher Samantha Branham
threw out Recker but in the
process, Scott beat the relay
throw home. Weller singled
and was safe on a dropped
throw on Logans grounder.
Both adanced on a Mansfield
groundout and scored on a
looped single to the outfield
grass behind first base by
Zachrich for a 6-1 edge.
Jefferson again had a
golden chance in the home
half. With one down, Pimpas
singled to left and Rice
smacked a double to right

center. Branham bounced to
shortstop Scott, who nabbed
Pimpas at home. A stolen
base moved Branham up but
both runners were left on
base.
Jefferson again threatened in the home fourth
a 1-out single to left by
Jettinghoff, a steal and a
fly ball to right by Sophie
Wilson.
Sarah
Thitoff
bounced back to Recker and
she got Jettinghoff at home.

Simerman tosses two-hitter; Knights top Lincolnview

By JOHN PARENT
sports@timesbulletin.com
CONVOY With winds gusting
upwards of 40 mph, every fly ball, every
pop up and every throw became an adventure when Lincolnview took on Crestview
in Convoy on Tuesday evening.
The Knights got the better of things on
the scoreboard, taking advantage of eight
walks and six Lancer errors in securing a
6-0 Northwest Conference victory.
Crestview sophomore Zechariah
Simerman was the beneficiary of a 7-hit
Knights attack, though the home team
had to make some changes to its usual
approach based on the difficult conditions.
The conditions were not enjoyable for
anyone, Crestview coach Jim Wharton
allowed. No one wants to play in this
stuff but I thought both teams handled it
as well as you could possibly handle it.
Crestview (6-4 overall, 3-0 NWC)
stole 10 bases as a team without being

caught and often did so on the first pitch
of an at-bat.
Its tough (to throw in this wind),
Wharton noted of his teams aggressiveness on the bases. Were thankful that we
have a strong senior (Nate Owens) behind
the plate to deter them (the Lancers) from
running. In this situation, we did some
things that were not normally going to
do, like run on the first pitch, or bunt with
two strikes.
Simerman was in command throughout for the Knights. He struck out two
Lancers in the first inning, one more in
the second and needed only 10 pitches to
strikeout the side in order in the third.
Entering the top of the seventh,
Simerman had thrown only 57 pitches
and, thanks to a nifty 5-4-3 double play,
used only six more to complete his 2-hit
shutout. He finished with seven strikeouts
on the day.
Im very proud of Simerman and how

he threw today, Wharton added.
Two walks and two Lancer errors
accounted for a pair of unearned Crestview
runs in the home half of the first. Three
more Lincolnview errors in the second
accounted for another unearned run as two
more Knights reached base in that frame
via base on balls.
It was a tough day, Lincolnview
coach Eric Fishpaw admitted. It was
tough for the hitters, tough to play defense;
it was a tough day.
Crestview sealed the game in the fifth,
as Justin Overmyer walked to start what
would become a 3-run rally against two
Lincolnview hurlers. After Overmyer
stole second and was bunted to third, he
scampered home on a wild pitch to make
it 4-0, Crestview. A walk to Simerman
ended the day of southpaw Jalen Roberts.

Augsburger quiets Lancer bats, preserves Parkway win

By JIM COX
DHI Media Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com
ROCKFORD With a gale blowing out, Tuesdays

Parkway-Lincolnview softball game promised to be a good day
for hitters.
Indeed, for 3 1/2 innings, it looked like one of those anybodys-game slugfests.
Katelin Augsburger had other ideas.
The sophomore reliever came in with two outs in the top of
the fourth and shut down the Lancer bats in a 10-8 Panther win.
Parkway is now 7-1 while Lincolnview drops to 5-8.
Tonight was a tough night for pitchers with the wind blowing straight out but Katelin really came in and changed the
complexion of the game, said Parkway coach Mark Esselstein.
We feel like weve got several good pitchers on the team and
if ones not on her game on a given night, somebody else can
come in and shut the other team down.
The Lancers whacked four solid balls in the top of the
first but only one got through for a hit centerfielder Julia
Thatchers leadoff single and she was left stranded.
Parkway took a 2-0 lead in the bottom half after two outs.
Shortstop Alyx Slusher bounced a single through the left side.

First baseman Haley Hawk lofted a wind-blown fly ball to right
which dropped for a double, scoring Slusher. Third baseman
Terra Walls crushed a double to center, scoring Hawk 2-0,
Panthers, after one.
Lincolnviews hot bats found the holes in the second, scoring three times on five singles shortstop Bayley Neate, left
fielder Devann Springer, first baseman Zoe Miller, second baseman Sidney Jenkins and Thatcher.
The Lancer lead didnt last long. Parkway batted around
in the bottom of the second, scoring six times, again after two
were out. After catcher Zoey Pond walked and pitcher Kayle
Heckler was hit by a Macala Ashbaugh pitch, five straight
Panther batters hit safely Slusher (single), Hawk (double),
Terra Walls (single), Selena Burtch (double) and left fielder
Alisa Gray (single), to make it 8-3, Parkway, after two.
Springers solo homer to left in the top of the third narrowed
the margin to 8-4 but Heckler then drilled a 2-run homer to
center in the bottom half to lead 10-4.
The Lancers continued their hot hitting in the fourth, however.

Pirates
(Continued from page 6)
Continental made it 7-1 in
the top of the fifth on a line
single by Mansfield, an error,
a comebacker by Zachrich and
fielders-choice grounder by
Homier.
Delphos got within 7-3 in
the bottom half. With an out,
Pimpas singled up the middle
and Rice doubled to deep left.
Branhams knock to center
plated both. However, she was
caught stealing by Logan.
The Pirates finished their
scoring in the sixth. Scott
led off with a solo bomb to
left. Recker doubled to deep
left and Logan went yard to
straightaway center to bring
home courtesy runner Briley
Collier for a 10-3 margin.
The Pirates eventually left
Mansfield at third and Homier
at second.
Delphos made it interesting
in the bottom of the seventh.
Thitoff walked to start it and
moved up on wild pitches (the
latter with one down). Pimpas
(3-for-3) slapped a run-scorer to center and advanced on
a wild pitch. Rice (4-for-4)
knocked her in with a slice
to right center. She advanced
on a wild pitch, a Branham
comebacker and an RBI knock
to right by Hartsock. However,
Recker got the final out of the
game.
We have our moments
our innings when we played
well all around. Then we have
our innings when we seem
to lose focus, Jefferson head
coach Josiah Stober explained.
Its more of the mental focus
we talk about a lot with the
girls, about knowing where
to be and where to throw the
ball. We need to get to the
point where we are laser-focused every pitch; were better
in that regard but need to keep
improving. You also have to
credit Continental for hitting
the ball hard; the wind was
blowing out and they have
some power.

Meyers pitching propels

Bearcats past Wildcats in NWC
By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
SPENCERVILLE Jacob Meyer

tossed a 1-hitter over six innings to
pace Spencerville to an 8-0
Northwest Conference shutout of Jefferson on a chilly
and very windy Monday at
Spencerville High School.
Meyer threw 98 pitches (59 for strikes) and issued
two walks while whiffing 10.
Brady Nolan mopped up with
one hit in relief.
Brandan Herron took the loss for the
Wildcats as they used three pitchers.
Spencerville (4-7, 2-1 NWC) drew
first blood in the home first against
Herron. Jaret Montenery led off with
one of his three walks, stole second and
scored on a double to right center by
Hunter French.
The Bearcats made it 3-0 in the home
second. Thad Ringwald started it with a
liner to center, advanced on a sacrifice
by Brady Becker, took third on a wild
pitch and scored on Luke Carpenters
knock to right. An error on a pickoff try
advanced Carpenter a base, he moved
to third on a groundout to short by
Nolan and after Montenery walked
scored as Herron was called for a
balk to make it 3-0.
Jefferson (3-10, 1-1) had its first
base-runner against Meyer in the top of
the third with a 1-out free pass to Kurt
Wollenhaupt. Jacob Boop grounded
wide of first base and was safe on a hit
as no one covered. However, a strikeout
and a forceout at second hit by Gaige
Rassman ended the threat.
Spencerville tried to add to its lead in
the home third. With two down, backto-back singles by Mitchell Youngpeter
(center) and Ringwald (just off the second basemans glove into center) and
a walk to Becker loaded the bases.
However, they were left loaded.
Augsburger
With one out, Heckler

plunked Jenkins with a pitch.
Thatcher forced Jenkins at
second for the second out.
Right fielder Stephanie
Longwell walked and catcher Alena Loosers bloop single to right plated Thatcher
and put runners on the corners. Longwell scored when

We hit with some power
tonight. We can usually string
hits together and it seemed we
werent doing that but then
we went deep, Pirate coach
Jordan Streicher said. Amber
is a freshman and she hit two;
perpahs they were wind-aided
but she hit them well. What I
like is our defense. Emma typically is not a strikeout pitcher; she is around the strike
zone and typically gets a lot of
ground balls and our defense
made no errors behind her
tonight. I was impressed with
their 3 through 5 hitters, especially number 25 (Pimpas).

just tagged him with hits.

Spencerville visits Bluffton today in
a makeup game from April 9.
Jacob was fantastic today; he was
mixing up his pitches, changing speeds
and had great control. This was by far
his best high school outing and hes only
a sophomore, Spencerville
coach Troy Montenery said.
Our pitching has been solid
all season. What has started to
come around is the defense and
our bats. The defense was first
in that regard and our offense
has been strong the last two
games. If you can put all three together
regularly, you have a chance to win most
if not all of your games and just
play well.
Jefferson visits Elida 5 p.m.
Wednesday.
The Black Attack made it 5-0 in the

home fourth. Nolan led off with a free
pass and advanced as Montenerys fly
ball was dropped for an error. Meyer
bunted both up a base and French lined
a 2-run single down the left-field line to
made it 5-0.
The Red and White
got a 1-out base-onballs to Herron and
Brett Mahlie pinchran. However, he was
picked off by Meyer.
Spencerville hung
up a 3-spot in the sixth
against reliever Jacob Pulford in his
second inning. Pinch-hitter Damon Blair
walked and was pinch-run for by Logan
Rex. Montenery and Meyer also worked
free passes to load the bases. With
French up at bat, a wild pitch plated
Rex and moved Montenery and Meyer
up. An out hence, Freewalt launched a
single to short right center to score both
runners and bring in Boop. Youngpeter
walked and Ringwald got aboard on an
infield hit wide of first in which there
was a late cover. Becker flied out to
center and Youngpeter was too far off
second, getting doubled up.
Jefferson rebelled briefly in the top
of the seventh against Nolan. With
one down, pinch-hitter Easton Siefker
launched a double to right. An out later,
an error on Nick Fitchs grounder put
runners on the corners but they stayed
there as the last out was record.
Meyer was hitting his spots and
he had all three pitches clicking; it
was almost as if he was fooling with
us today. You have to give him all
the credit for our inability to score or
do much offensively, Jefferson coach
Doug Geary observed. On their end,
they got their leadoff man on four times
in six innings and all four scored. When
they got runners on, they manufactured
runs by getting the hits to bring them in.
I felt Brandan was solid today; he had
fewer walks than his last outing. They
shutting out Parkway in the

fourth, fifth and sixth innings.
During Augsburgers 3 1/3
innings, she struck out eight
and walked none, while giving up no runs on four hits.
She was remarkably efficient,
throwing 58 pitches of which
43 were strikes. Augsburger
was credited with the win
because Heckler didnt pitch
the minimum four innings,
which is a requirement for
starting pitchers in a seven-inning game.
Eight of the nine Parkway
starters had at least one hit,
led by Hawk (3 for 4, including two doubles, two runs,
two RBI), Terra Walls (2 for

Low wages, trade deals luring

auto plants and jobs to Mexico
DETROIT (AP) Mexico has
become the most attractive place in North
America to build new automobile factories, a shift that has siphoned jobs from
the U.S. and Canada, yet helped keep car
and truck prices in check for consumers.
In the past two years, eight automakers have opened or announced new
plants or expansions in Mexico. Just last
week, Toyota announced a new plant in
Guanajuato to build the popular Corolla,
work now done in Canada, while Ford
unveiled plans for Mexican engine and
transmission factories.
Low labor costs and fewer tariffs are
the swing factors. A worker in Mexico
costs car companies an average of $8
an hour, including wages and benefits.
That compares with $58 in the U.S. for
General Motors and $38 at Volkswagens
factory in Tennessee, the lowest hourly
cost in the U.S., according to the Center
for Automotive Research, an industry
think tank in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
German auto workers cost about $52 an
hour.
Mexico also trumps the U.S. on free
trade. It has agreements with 45 countries, meaning low tariffs for exporting
globally. That, along with low labor costs,
convinced Audi to build an SUV factory
in the state of Puebla. The German automaker will save $6,000 per vehicle in
tariffs when it ships a Q5 to Europe,
compared with building the same vehicle
in the U.S., says Sean McAlinden, chief
economist at CAR.
Audi also sells the Q5 in the U.S.,
where tariffs on cars built in Mexico
were dropped under the North American
Free Trade Agreement.
The cost savings also should allow
automakers to add expensive fuel-saving

features to meet stricter U.S. government
gas mileage requirements without raising
car prices. Two-thirds of cars made in
Mexico are shipped to the U.S.
While Mexicos auto industry booms
and workers welcome the above-average
wages, they are speaking out more loudly
about working conditions.
Mexican auto production more than
doubled in the past 10 years. The consulting firm IHS Automotive expects it
to rise another 50 percent to just under
5 million by 2022. U.S. production is
expected to increase only 3 percent, to
12.2 million vehicles, in the next 7 years.
Automakers now have 18 factories in
Mexico, many built in the past 10 years.
In four years, five more will be built,
moving the country from the worlds
seventh-biggest auto producer to fifth.
The shift means jobs that could have
gone to the U.S. or Canada went south.
The number of auto-making jobs in
Mexico has risen almost 40 percent since
2008, from 490,000 to 675,000 last year,
according to government and industry
statistics. During the same period, U.S.
auto manufacturing employment grew 15
percent to nearly 903,000.
Toyotas new plant will create 2,000
new jobs, while Fords $2.5 billion
investment will add 3,800 jobs.
For Mexican workers, the plants
originally appear like marvelous places
because you can earn a salary in exchange
for good work, says Huberto Juarez, a
professor at the Center for the Study of
Economic and Social Development at the
Autonomous University of Puebla.
Some Japanese automaker plants start
workers at 90 to 150 pesos per day, or
$6 to $10, Juarez says. Others, such as

Volkswagen, have paid more than double
that. Juarez says Mexicos auto-making
wages are now below China, but better
than Mexicos minimum wage of $4.50
per day.
There is pressure to improve working conditions at Mexican factories.
Last week, three former Mazda factory
workers publicly complained of injuries
and of being worked longer than legally
allowed. A union official announced protests in support.
Even so, Juarez says workers probably
will stay put. The big threat is always
going to be unemployment. Thats why
they stay. Because you leave there and
where are you going to go?
Initially, automakers with Mexican
factories faced quality problems due to
an unskilled work force. But companies
with longtime factories in Mexico, such
as Ford and Nissan, have resolved those
issues, according to McAlinden.
Despite shipping costs, its still cheaper to build cars for the U.S. in Mexico,
McAlinden says.
A U.S.-built Chevrolet Sonic subcompact costs about $700 more to make
than a comparable Mexican-built Ford
Fiesta, McAlinden says. Thats even with
a labor agreement at the Sonic factory
in Michigan that allows 40 percent of
the workers to be paid lower wages than
longtime union employees.
The United Auto Workers complain
that companies building in Mexico are
taking advantage of slave-like wages.
American manufacturing workers
could have had good paying jobs that
respect basic human dignity, says UAW
President Dennis Williams.

place, Schnedar said in an interview.

The FDA hasnt revisited its oversight of homeopathic
products since 1988, when it essentially exempted the industry
from basic production and quality control requirements, like
listing ingredients and dosing levels on product labels.
Zicam and hundreds of other homeopathic remedies are
often sold alongside over-the-counter drugs like Tylenol and
aspirin at pharmacies across the U.S. But homeopathic medicine is based on a 200-year old theory unsupported by modern
science: that ingredients which create certain symptoms in
healthy people are effective in treating the disease that causes
the same symptoms.
A key principle of traditional homeopathy holds that the
more diluted a remedy is, the better it works. Today, many
remedies marketed as homeopathic contain heavily diluted
drugs, vitamins and minerals. For instance, Zicam contains a
heavily diluted dose of zinc as its active ingredient.
On Monday, industry executives and lobbyists argued
that the current FDA framework works well for homeopathy.
Representatives from the Consumer HealthCare Products
Association, with represents homeopathic manufacturers,
emphasized that consumers like having easy access to alternative treatments.
But industry critics argued that many consumers do not
understand how homeopathic products differ from conventional medicines.
Stocking homeopathic remedies labeled for specific symptoms or conditions alongside conventional over-the-counter
drugs on the pharmacy or supermarket shelves is innately
misleading, said Dr. Adriane Fugh-Berman, an associate professor at Georgetown University Medical Center.
She and others want the FDA to require homeopathic remedies to undergo the same safety and effectiveness reviews as
conventional drugs. But failing that, Fugh-Berman said that
the products should carry a disclaimer warning that they have
not been shown to treat or prevent any disease or condition.

WASHINGTON (AP) A top federal drug regulator says

that increased safety problems with homeopathic remedies
contributed to the governments decision to revisit its oversight of the products at a public hearing this week.
The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday wrapped
up a two-day meeting to hear from supporters and critics of
products like Zicam Allergy Relief and Cold-Eeze, alternative
remedies that are protected by federal law, but not accepted by
mainstream medicine.
Similar to dietary supplements, the FDA does not review
the safety or effectiveness of homeopathic remedies before
they are sold. But unlike supplements, homeopathic medicines
can state that they are intended for specific medical symptoms
and conditions.
The FDAs Cynthia Schnedar, a director of drug compliance, said the agency has issued 40 warning letters to homeopathic product makers since 2009 amid increasing U.S. sales.
In perhaps the most serious case, in 2009 the FDA ordered
the maker of Zicam to stop marketing three products that
contained zinc gluconate. The agency linked those products
to 130 reports from consumers who said they lost their sense
of smell.
In 2010, the FDA warned about reports of toxicity in children taking Hyland Homeopathics teething tablets, which
contained irregular levels of an ingredient called belladonna.
And last month the agency warned U.S. patients with asthma not to rely on homeopathic products claiming to treat the
respiratory condition, which can cause fatal complications if
not properly managed.
Despite such problems Schnedar stressed that this weeks
FDA meeting was a listening session, and that the agency
has not reached any decision about whether to alter its regulations.

A reverse mortgage
could become an
advance on inheritance
DEAR BRUCE: Our two
sons, in their early 40s, are
both hard-working family
men who are struggling to
get ahead. We are considering
a reverse mortgage to give
them some money as an advance on their inheritance. I
am thinking a line of credit
up to $100,000. I have studied reverse mortgages and am
aware of the interest that adds
up each year, which will lessen the equity in the home at
the end of the contract.
What is your opinion of a
reverse mortgage, and how
do you feel about using it for
this reason? -- Bill
DEAR BILL: My opinion
of a reverse mortgage depends on what you want the
money for, how much equity
is in the house, and your ages,
because the younger you are
(62 is the minimum for both
parties on the mortgage), the
less money you will be able
to borrow since you have a
longer life to live.
All that being said, if the
$100,000 is not an amount
you are likely to need, if you
realize that you will not be
able to borrow more money even though the equity is
there, and you recognize that
you effectively reduced your
net worth $100,000, I have no
quarrel.
Using a reverse mortgage
as an advance on inheritance is another matter altogether. Its an interesting way
of describing this arrangement, and not at all a bad concept.
DEAR BRUCE: I have a
credit card and checking account at the same bank. When
I overdrew my account, the
bank took the overdraft fees
out of my credit card. Can
this be right? -- G.F.
DEAR G.F.: It all depends
on the rules that the credit
card issuer established and
what you agreed to. The fact
that you overdrew the account may very likely make
the money available through
your credit card or other accounts in the institution.
The first thing you should
do is ask to see the credit card
agreement you signed when
you opened the checking account. I am sorry, but the likelihood is the bank does have
that right.
DEAR BRUCE: I recently got into a car accident in a
gas station parking lot. The
cop said that the other party
was at fault. When I make my
claim to my insurance company, how do they determine
who pays -- my insurance or
the other party that was at
fault? -- G.P.
DEAR G.P.: The fact that
the police officer said the
other party was at fault is not
going to hurt you, but dont
make the mistake of thinking
its iron clad because of what
he said. He wasnt there, and
he is only making his decision based on who said what.
When you make your
claim to the insurance company and give your version
of what happened, you are
certainly going to make the
case that it was the other partys fault, but that isnt necessarily going to be the answer
either. Because the accident
happened in a gas station
parking lot, which is private
property, and apparently no
one was injured, the authorities are going to take very
little interest in this.
Tell your story to your
claims adjuster and tell him,

Money
in your opinion, why the other party is at fault. From there,
it will be up to the insurance
company to determine.
DEAR BRUCE: I will be
purchasing a home close to
a pond. The pond isnt that
big, but I am wondering: Am
I required to have flood insurance? -- Reader
DEAR READER: Whether you have to purchase flood
insurance is a matter of statute at this point. If the home
youre purchasing is in a
flood-designated area and the
community involved has determined that this is an area
covered by flood insurance,
the likelihood is youll have
to purchase it.
On the other hand, since
its a small pond, its unlikely
that that alone would require
you to have flood insurance.
In any case, go to the lender,
explain the circumstance and
have the lender determine if
flood insurance is needed.
DEAR BRUCE: My parents have several pieces of
property in Georgia, Florida and South Carolina that
they wish to leave me and
my three siblings. Which is
the best way of leaving it to
us: leaving it in their will, or
transferring the deeds to us?
-- L.T.
DEAR L.T.: This is almost
a no-brainer. Unless there are
some other reasons that you
have not pointed out to me,
you would be far better off to
have them leave the properties to you in their will.
The reason is simple. Up to
the current limit of over a million dollars, there will be no
taxes if you transfer the property through death in a will. If
your parents deed the property to you while they are alive,
then of course there would be
a considerable amount of gift
tax involved.
Be certain their wills are
very clear as to who gets
what. I think youre far better
advised to pass the properties
on through the process of a
will rather than transferring
during their lifetime.
DEAR BRUCE: Do you
think its wise to take gap
insurance through my bank
when purchasing a new car?
-- L.C.W.
DEAR L.C.W.: Whether
or not you carry gap insurance through your bank is
your call. Guaranteed Auto
Protection is used when your
vehicle is declared a total
loss. If your car is totaled,
your insurance will pay the
market value, which is often
less than what you still may
owe. The gap insurance will
cover the difference.
On balance, gap insurance
may be needed, but if you feel
that you cant afford the extra
cost, then I dont think its for
you.

Justice Dept. opens

Baltimore police probe
BALTIMORE (AP) The Justice
Department said Tuesday it has opened
a civil rights investigation into the death
of Freddie Gray, a black man who suffered a fatal spinal-cord injury under
mysterious circumstances after he was
handcuffed and put in the back of a
police van.
After the probe was announced, at
least 1,000 people gathered at a previously planned rally at the site of
Grays arrest. Protesters marched to a
police station a couple of blocks away,
chanting and holding signs that read
Black Lives Matter and No Justice,
No Peace slogans that have come
to embody what demonstrators believe
is widespread mistreatment of blacks
by police.
Pricilla Jackson carried a sign reading,
Convict Freddies killers, that listed
the names of the six officers suspended
with pay while local authorities and the
U.S. Justice Department investigate the
death. Jackson, who is black, said she
wants Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake
to know that she and others have been
brutalized by police.
Theyre hurting us when they throw
us to the ground and kick us and punch
Canal
us, said Jackson, 53.

At least one an activist was detained
when he jumped past police barriers.
Grays mother, Gloria Darden, was
overcome with grief and carried away
at one point by several men, writhing
and sobbing uncontrollably, her face
obscured by a hood and dark glasses.
The crowd parted to let her through.
Another female family member collapsed in tears and was also helped
away.
As the sun fell, some protesters lit
candles and the demonstration peacefully dispersed. More protests were
planned for later in the week.
Gray, 25, was taken into custody
April 12 after police made eye contact with him and another man in an
area known for drug activity, police
said. Gray was handcuffed and put in
a transport van. At some point during
his roughly 30-minute ride, the van was
stopped and Grays legs were shackled
when an officer felt he was becoming
irate, police said.
Police Commissioner Anthony Batts
said that Gray asked for an inhaler, and
then several times asked for medical
care. He was eventually rushed to a

The $50,000 grant allows all entities from New Bremen to
Delphos to build a consortium a shared voice to ask state
representatives to put money back into the community. Spencerville
Village Administration has passed a resolution to pay $4,000 toward
the market study which will be complete by Poggemeyer.
The market study will help create a brand for this section of the
corridor and leverage each community, Mills said. Its not just
about recreational trails, its about economic development and getting people off the trail and spending money in town.
Council members passed the ordinance adopting water system
operation rules. They also placed on their second reading two resolutions, the first authorizing St. Marys to file an application to the
State of Ohio to participate in the Local Government Fund Program
and the second authorizing designation of depositories for active and
interim funds.
Council also suspended the rules and passed on their first reading
an ordinance increases the wages of full-time officer Kyle Miller
and a resolution authorizing participation on Ohio Department
of Transportation (ODOT) Cooperative Purchasing Program.
Additionally, council suspended the rules and passed on emergency
a resolution authorizing the County Engineer to proceed with 2015
County Road Program.
Police Chief Darin Cook announced the high school will have a
mock crash starting at 1:30 on May 7.
We will have the fire and EMS departments on hand and we are
trying to get Life Flight involved, Cook said. The schools SADD
team organized the event and I am very proud of them. High school
students and their parents will participate in the mock crash.
Cook also reminded residents to not put refuse containers at the
curb any earlier than 6 p.m. on Sunday night for pick up on Monday.
Some residence are setting heavy items at the curb huge
televisions, mattresses and box springs, etc. they should call ACR
(Allen County Refuse) to make them aware of the oversize items to
be picked up, Cook said.
Chapman said pre-season pool passes will be available on the
following dates: 6-8 p.m. Thursday, 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, 6-8
p.m. May 7, 9 a.m. to noon May 9 and 6-8 p.m. May 21. Passes
Event
Fort Jennings residents
who receive an opt-out letter
can chose to do nothing and
become an aggregation customer, Smith said. Those
who already have a provider
can leave their plan and join
the aggregation plan.
Smith said he has been
looking into a BWC (Bureau
of Workers Compensation)
grant and thought there may
be a $40,000 funding for
radio water meters.
There may be equipment
we can use to help automate
some of the maintenance
tasks for the village, Smith
reasoned.
Smith reported the park
clean up took place last
weekend.
The park was in good
shape and Ted (Wrasman,
Maintenance Supervisor)
picked up and removed the
majority of the debris prior to
mowing the grounds, Smith
said. We cut down a tree
and raked up some leaves.
Well work on getting the
tennis court nets up in the
near future.
Smith said he thought it
would be a good idea to start
on cleaning up the section of
river bank running from the
State Route 189 bridge to
the bend, as well as removing trees and naturally-growing obstructions from both
sides of the bridge before the
weeds start taking over.
We want to make the
intersection safer and more
attractive, he said. Theres
tree limbs laying everywhere
and we may be able to get the
Lions Club involved.
He said the Lions Club
hospital.
Gray died Sunday a week after his
arrest of what police described as a
significant spinal injury.
Exactly how he was injured and what
happened in the van is still not known.
Justice Department spokeswoman Dena Iverson said investigators are
gathering information to determine
whether any prosecutable civil rights
violation occurred.
Its not uncommon for federal investigators to look into allegations of excessive police force. Justice Department
investigations in the last year include
probes into the fatal shooting of an
unarmed black 18-year-old in Ferguson,
Missouri a case that resulted in no
charges against the officer and an
ongoing review of a police chokehold
death of a New York City man.
Theres a high threshold for bringing federal civil rights charges against
police officers in such cases. Federal
investigators must show an officer willfully deprived a person of his or her
civil rights by using more force than the
law allows, a standard thats challenging
in rapidly unfolding confrontations in
which snap judgments are made.
will be available at the Village Utilities offices located at 524 N.

Broadway Street. Information can be found on the villages website
and Facebook page.
Chapman reminded council that National Bike to School Day is
May 6.
We have scheduled a Walk/Bike to School day for this day, he
said. All parents and students are urged to walk or bike to school
this day.
The village and school have partnered on this event and the police
will be patrolling the proposed route to school, which has yet to be
determined. Information on the event is included on the villages
website and the school is providing information to share with students and their parents.
The traffic control panel damaged when an Allen County Refuse
(ACR) truck struck it at Fourth and Broadway in March has been
replaced. A recent storm knocked out two of the LED red lights on
the traffic signal and these two fixtures have been shipped and are
scheduled for replacement in the next week.
Crew members used two tanks (+/-450 gallons) of liquid asphalt
while durapatching, Chapman reported. They patched all larger
holes in the roads and still have smaller holes to patch. We will turn
our focus to other items for a month or two and then get the patcher
out to finish patching smaller areas prior to Summerfest.
Chapman gave these updates:
Pool prep work began last week and will continue through
opening day;
The fence work at Old Acadia Park has started and should wrap
up this week;
The ball diamonds at Old Acadia Park have been prepped and
are ready for the season;
The County Road Program preliminary project list has been
established and will take place as time and weather permit;
The seasonal employees should begin around the first to middle
part of May; at that time, crews plan on beginning a lot of the excavation work, including water line replacements, etc.; and
The Annual Garden Club Plant Sale will be May 6-7.
The next village council meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on May
4 at the municipal building.
This is another building

block and is much like the
Enterprise Zone agreements
with tax incentives for businesses, industry and residents,
she said. It is geared to those
who are ready and willing to
invest in their properties. There
are three different CRAs in
the city of Van Wert and Allen
County has several as well.
Delphos is not involved and
we need to make Delphos as
enticing as possible.
The city would also need
a housing board and housing
officer as part of the program.
These things are not visible or glamorous but we need
them in place, she added.
Gerker also touched on
councils recent nix of legislation to participate in a survey
of the Miami-Erie Canal in
Delphos for a proposed towpath along and near the waterway.
There were several groups
that were saddened when the
towpath survey was declined
by council, Gerker said.
Maybe we can get some help
for that. Economic development goes hand in hand with
community development.
Johnny
Appleseed
Metropolitan Park District
Director Kevin Haver touted
his upcoming .75-mill levy on
the May 5 Primary Ballot.
We asking for an additional .75 mills, Haver said. It
has been 22 years since weve
asked for new money and the
levy we currently have in place
is bringing in $250,000 less
than when it was first passed
due to the elimination of the
tangible personal property
tax and a decrease in Local
Government Funds from the
state that everyone is feeling.
The additional millage will
cost $26.25 for each $100,000
of valuation and raise approximately $1.25 million a year.
That sounds like a lot of

money but when you figure
overall Allen County property
valuations from 2003 to 2013
went down $87 million and
8-10 percent of property taxes
go unpaid, the park is losing
some of that right off the bat,
Haver said.
The 12 parks in the district are need in maintenance,
repairs and renovations.
We have pit latrines that
need replaced with modern
flushing facilities for safety
reasons, Haver began. They
are a concern for small children and the fairer sex seems
to have a problem with them
as well.
Haver said he has three
pages of items that need work
on the parks.
We had 655,00 visits to our
park areas last year and this is
conservative, he said. Not all
the entrances have counters so
there were more.
Council heard on first reading two pieces of legislation
to fill meter reading positions.
Former city employees Larry
Lindeman and Jeff Rostorfer
will be hired as water meter
readers and be paid $150
per coupon book completed.
Mayor Michael Gallmeier said
there are 13 books in all. The
readings will cost $7,800 per
quarter and $1,950 per year.
This is going to be a
good thing for our citizens,
Safety Service Director Shane
Coleman said. All the meters
will be read and there wont be
estimating.
Councilman Del Kemper
asked that the meters be read
in the same order at each reading so residents dont get extra
days on their statements.
I know that is an issue and
we will see if we can correct
that, Coleman said. This will
also move us closer to monthly
readings and monthly billing.
I know that quarterly bill is
sometimes a hardship for peo-
ple.
Council heard on second
reading the salary restoration
ordinance which returns
department heads and the
administration back to full pay
from a 7-percent pay reduction
enacted when the city began
observing a 3-hour furlough in
October 2013.
Also heard on second
reading was an ordinance to
accept the application for the
annexation of .958 acres of
land owned by Kenneth R.
Brinkman, Michael E. Coil and
Barbara J. Coil on Pohlman
Road. Washington Township
trustees and Van Wert County
commissioners have already
approved the annexation; an
ordinance enacting the replace-
will be finishing the concrete

work (walkways) at the park.
The purchase of a new
maintenance vehicle was discussed.
Councilman Walt Pitney
said when it comes to bid
assistance, there is only one
dealer in the area; the Chevy
dealership.
At some point the truck
will stop running, Smith
said. We need to explore our
options now.
The biggest problem
is the condition of the bed;
its rusting out, Wrasman
explained.
We dont want to put any
money into it, Pitney said.
Smith asked Pitney to look
at state pricing.
The mower decks have
been installed and we have
begun mowing, Wrasman
said. All equipment is running fine.
Smith asked council members if they would be opposed
to he and Wrasman working on Fort Haven Park this
spring. There was no opposition.
Theres a lot of leaves at
the backstops to shred and
bag, Smith said. The ball
diamond needs some work
and so far, there has not been
a lot of weeds.
Wrasman will continue to
mow the grounds on either
Tuesday or Thursday.
Smith said there are pot
holes needing filling.
The Township had some
cold mix and well get some
of that to repair the roads,
Wrasman said.
The next village Council
meeting will be held at 7:30
p.m. on May 19 in the old
high school library.

Abatement
The Herald 9
ment of codified ordinances that conflict with recent

Ohio Revised Code changes.
Changes were made to traffic
codes, general offenses codes
and fire prevention codes.
Council asked to see a detailed
list of the changes proposed;
and an ordinance amending the
rates for emergency medical
services to include a 5.4-percent Milliman Medical Index
increase. The new charges will
be: Emergency basic life support (per person/per conveyance) $616.23; emergency
advanced life support 1 (per
person/per conveyance)
$672.25; emergency advanced
life support 2 $784.29; and
mileage (per loaded mile)
$12.04.
Todays joke:
Hearing a scream from the playroom, the mother
rushed in and found her infant daughter pulling the
hair of her 4-year-old brother. After separating them,
the mother said to her son, Dont be upset with your
sister, honey. She didnt know she was hurting you.
No sooner had the mother returned to her chores
then she heard more screaming. This time she rushed
in and found the baby crying. Now what happened?
she asked.
Nothing, said the boy, except that now she
knows.

official name of Theodore

Roosevelts
Rough Riders? -- A.K.,
Glencoe, Ala.
A: The official
name for the group was
the First United States
Volunteer Cavalry. The
newspapers referred to
the group by many different names, including Teddys Terrors,
the Rocky Mountain
Rustlers and Teddys
Riotous
Rounders.
Rough Riders is the
moniker that stuck,
even though Roosevelt
was not particularly
fond of the name.
Q: I would like to
know what became of
the beautiful actress
Teresa Wright. She
was in a lot of good
movies. -- T.A., Chattanooga, Tenn.
A: Muriel Teresa
Wright was born Oct.
27, 1918, in New York
City. While in school,
she became involved
in theatrical productions and appeared
in her first film, The
Little Foxes, in 1941.
She was nominated
for three Academy
Awards, and she won
once, for her supporting role in Mrs. Miniver.
Wright was married twice and had two
children. She died of a
heart attack at age 86
on March 6, 2005.
Q: I heard of a major league baseball
player who, after hitting a home run, ran
backward around the
bases. Is this true? -C.W., Scranton, Pa.
A: James Anthony
Piersall of the New
York Mets wanted attention when he hit his
100th career home run.
On June 23, 1963, with
Dallas Green on the
mound for the Philadelphia Phillies, Piersall hit the ball out of
the park. To celebrate,
he ran the bases in the
correct order while
facing backward. His
stunt gave him the publicity he wanted, but
manager Casey Stengel was not amused.
Piersall was cut from
the team two days later. He then signed with
the California Angels,
where he finished his
17-year career in 1967.
He hit a total of 104 career home runs.
Piersall

Girl who lost her virginity

must learn to protect herself
I need some advice on whether

I should be making a big deal out
of it, or just ignore it and move
on. -- ANXIOUS IN OHIO
DEAR ANXIOUS: Please
dont ignore it. You treated your
first time like it was something
casual, and that is sad. It IS a big
deal, not only because of what
it indicates about your level of
self-esteem, but also because you
dont know whether you have
been exposed to an STD. Did the
boy use a condom?
Mature girls know to protect
themselves when engaging in
sexual activity. It is important that
you be checked by a gynecologist
for STDs and learn about effective birth control. If you dont
have a doctor you can confide in,
Planned Parenthood can help you.
DEAR ABBY: I find myself
in an interesting situation that I
never thought could happen. Im
a 43-year-old gay male who had
an extremely difficult time coming out when I was 19. My parents werent initially supportive,
but things did get better down the
line.
I have had zero luck at any
long-term gay relationships, but
as I get older, my sex drive has diminished, and I think Id be happy
with a female companion -- if sex
wasnt a factor. What should I do?
-- INTERESTING CONDITION
IN TEXAS
DEAR CONDITION: Gay
men marrying straight women
bility -- as long as the lady clearly

understands that you are gay and
doesnt harbor the fantasy that she
can change you.
DEAR ABBY: My friends often come to me for advice. It could
be anything -- relationship, family, self-harm or bullying. Its usually something I dont know how
to deal with and dont have experience with. I try to say words of
encouragement like, Itll be OK.
Ignore it. Think on the bright side.
Dont be so hard on yourself.
I know these are things they
have heard before and will ignore,
but I dont know what else to say
or do. These people are more
outgoing than I am, so I guess it
makes them targets. Abby, what
can I do? -- D. IN KANSAS
DEAR D.: Its all right to be
encouraging, but when someone
asks for advice you know youre
not qualified to give, you should
be upfront, admit it, and suggest
the person talk to an adult. This
is particularly important when
the problem concerns things like
self-harm or bullying, which may
need an intervention.

Jeanne Phillips, and was founded

Lower risk of diabetic nephropathy

is possible with life-style changes
DEAR DOCTOR
K: I have diabetes.
My doctor says Im
at risk for diabetic
nephropathy. What is
that? What can I do to
prevent it?
DEAR READER: Diabetic nephropathy is kidney
disease that is a complication of diabetes.
Your kidneys are
made up of hundreds of thousands
of small tubes that
filter your blood and
help remove waste
from your body. In
people with poorly
controlled
diabetes, these structures
thicken and become
scarred. Over time,
the kidneys lose their
ability to remove
waste products from
the blood.
To prevent diabetic nephropathy,
you need to control
your blood sugar.
Diet and exercise
can powerfully lower it. Im sure you
already know what
you should be doing
in terms of lifestyle
changes, but its
worth repeating. Aim
to:
-- Achieve and
maintain a healthy
weight.
-- Exercise regularly. Aim for at least
30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise, most days of the
week.
-- Eat a healthy
diet:
*Avoid
added
sugars.
*Minimize
refined carbohydrates
like white bread and
white rice.
*Minimize saturated fats and cholesterol.
*Limit calories.
*Emphasize vegetables, fruits, whole

grains and healthy
oils.
You also need to
control your blood
pressure. Like diabetes, high blood
pressure injures the
kidneys. In fact, the
combination of both
diabetes and high
blood pressure is particularly damaging to
the kidneys.
Even worse, your
kidneys play a crucial role in the bodys
control of blood pressure. If they are damaged further, your
blood pressure can
get worse. Its a vicious cycle. Failing
to take care of your
blood pressure leads
to more kidney damage. That leads to
higher blood pressure
-- and that leads to
more kidney damage.
You get the point.
Aim to keep your
blood pressure below
130/80 mmHg.
Lifestyle changes to control blood
pressure begin with
weight loss, regular exercise and a
healthy diet. In addition, cut back on salt
in your diet, limit alcohol and quit smoking.
Any person who
has diabetes and
high blood pressure
should also take one
of two types of blood
pressure medications.
These drugs -- angiotensin-converting
enzyme
inhibitors
(ACE inhibitors) and
angiotensin
receptor blockers (ARBs)
-- protect against
kidney damage in
ways that go beyond
lowering your blood
pressure.
Dr. Komaroff
Dr. Anthony Komaroff
On Health
You also should

avoid
medications
that can have harmful side effects on the
kidneys. For example, ask your doctor
if you should avoid
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drug
(NSAID) pain relievers such as ibuprofen
(Advil, Motrin).
A
low-protein
diet, in which protein
contributes 10 to 12
percent or less of total calories, also may
slow or stop the progression of kidney
disease.
Once the damage is done, kidney
disease cant be reversed. But if you
do develop diabetic
nephropathy, good
blood sugar and
blood pressure control, and treatment
with one of the two
types of medications
I mentioned, can
slow its progression.

-- Dont make important decisions. Confusion and uncertainty will prevail, making it
difficult to do the right thing.
Exposing too much personal
information will put you in a

84 percent of vehicles need service in spring

BY STEPHANIE GROVES
DELPHOS Ohios summer heat, dust

and stop-and-go traffic, topped-off with
the effects of last winters extreme cold will
take a major toll on many vehicles. Owners
could be poised for a breakdown which
will happen at the most inconvenient time
and location if they dont lessen the odds
of mechanical failures through periodic
maintenance.
April is National Car Care month and
the time to get vehicles ready for spring and

summer driving by taking care of any maintenance or repair issues that may have occurred or been ignored during winter. According to Car Care Councils (CCC) results
of vehicle inspections held at community
car care events across the country during
April and October 2014, it was revealed
that 84 percent of vehicles needed service or
parts, up 5 percent from the 2013.
Knippen Chrysler Jeep Dodge Service
Manager Michael Knippen said owners
should have cabin air filters filters that
clean the air entering the heating and air
conditioning system changed, as well as have all lights and fluids inspected.
Typical spring weather brings hazardous rainy driving conditions and slick, wet roads and it
is important to make sure a vehicles tires, brakes and windshield wipers are ready for the weather. A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and
fill the vehicles windshield washer reservoir with solvent.
Tires should have a 3/32-inch tread depth, Knippen stated. Driving with tires under-inflated can damage the tires and driving with them over-inflated can cause uneven wear. Tire
pressure information can be found on the drivers door or vehicle manual.
All tires - including the spare - should be checked for tread life, uneven wear and cupping,
cuts and nicks in sidewalls and pressure while the tires are cold once per month. An alignment
may be needed if theres uneven tread wear or if the vehicle pulls to one side. Tires should be
rotated about every 5,000 miles.
Brakes should be inspected as recommended in the vehicle manual or sooner if there are noticeable pulsations, grabbing noises or longer stopping distance. Minor brake problems should
be corrected promptly.
Brakes are semi-metallic and sometimes make a squeaking noise, which is normal, Knippen said. If it becomes a prevalent sound, owners should have brake linings inspected for wear.
When checking lubricants and fluids the CCCs survey indicated the three top failure rates
were: low washer fluid at 27 percent; low or dirty motor oil at 25 percent; and low, leaky or dirty
coolant at 17 percent.
Along with spring related maintenance, owners should be sure to have routine service performed including oil changes, replacement of air, fuel, and PCV filters. Engine drive-ability
problems such as hard starts, rough idling, stalling, diminished power demand attention from
service technicians at professional shop. Batteries can fail any time of year and the best way to
detect a weak battery is to have a service technician test it with professional equipment.
Once summer rolls around with higher temperatures consistently reaching the upper 70
and 80 degree marks, the chance for overheating and breakdowns increase. Typically, vehicle
cooling systems should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level,
condition and concentration of the coolant a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water should be
checked periodically.
Antifreeze is good for 5 years or 100,000 miles and after that, the system should be flushed
and filled with new coolant, Knippen said. Old coolant forms deposits which plugs up the
heater core. It also forms deposits in the radiator and decreases the vehicles cooling capabilities.
CCCs survey found when checking power steering, brake and transmission fluids, each had
failure rates of 13 percent and below.
Typically, vehicles with 60,000 miles require transmission service and at 100,000 miles, a
tune up is recommended, Knippen added.
A vehicle with a marginally operating Air Conditioning (AC) system will fail in hot weather.
Owners can check their air conditioning by starting the vehicle, turning the system on and
checking if there is cold air, Knippen said. If not, the system may be low on freon since there
are several components that can leak the coolant.
Motorists should also have an emergency kit stocked with items they would need in the event
of a breakdown including necessary medications, first aid supplies and portable cooling devices battery-powered fans jumper cables, flashlights, fresh batteries, flares, basic tools, duct
tape, gloves, bottled water, granola bars and a mobile phone with charger.

Multiply gas savings with vehcle maintenance

As gas prices continue to
drop, motorists should take
advantage of their savings at
the pump and invest it back
into their vehicles. By spending a little now to increase fuel
efficiency, drivers can multiply
fuel savings and save more
money at the pump, says the
Car Care Council.
The national average of the
cost of a gallon of gas has been
above $3 since 2010 but is expected to dip below that mark
this year, according to a recent
forecast by energy information service GasBuddy.com.
Gas prices are expected to
fall below $3 per gallon on average, and that means motorists can count on significant
savings at the pump, said Rich
White, executive director, Car
Care Council. A small investment in simple and inexpensive auto care will add up to
better fuel economy and even
more savings.
The non-profit Car Care
Council encourages motorists
to be car care aware and perform simple steps to improve
fuel efficiency and save money.
Engine Performance: Keep
your car properly tuned to improve gas mileage by an average of 4 percent.
Tire Pressure: Keep tires properly inflated
and improve gas mileage by up to 3.3 percent.
Air Filters: Replacing clogged air filters

on older vehicles can improve fuel economy
and will improve performance and acceleration on all vehicles.
Gas Cap: Damaged, loose or missing gas
caps allow gas to vaporize into the air.
Fix It: Addressing a serious maintenance
problem, like a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve mileage by as much as 40 percent, according to www.fueleconomy.gov.
In addition to vehicle maintenance, modifying driving habits, such as observing the
Distracted driving laws

quickly changing use of
smartphones while driving
Motor Oil: Improve gas mileage by 1 to 2

percent by using the grade of motor oil recommended by the manufacturer.
(ARA) - Distracted driving is receiving lots of attention - in the media and in the
legislature. One cause of distracted driving is use of electronic devices, and since January, new federal regulations
prevent commercial drivers
from holding mobile phones
while driving. In many states
and communities, local laws
extend this restriction of
talking or texting on mobile
phones to include private citizens.
Thirty-five states have
banned texting while driving,
Ready your car for spring and summer travel

(MS) -- The return of warm weather
marks the return of road trips for millions
of motorists across the country. Whether
going to the beach or heading off to parts
unknown, hitting the open road with the
windows down is a time-honored tradition for drivers of all ages.
But such road trips can prove disastrous if drivers dont take the right steps
to prepare their vehicles for spring and
summer travel. The following are a few
ways motorists can ensure their car is
ready to tackle the open road.
* Tighten things up. Loose parts, such
as exhaust clamps, license plates, and
interior trim panels, can create rattles
and cause parts to get damaged or fall
off. Whats more, rattling sounds can be
a noisy nuisance for drivers and passengers alike. Permatex Threadlockers can
be used to keep the nuts and bolts from
coming loose and save parts replacement
costs.
speed limit and avoiding quick stops and

starts, can also increase fuel efficiency. Consolidating trips, avoiding excessive idling and
removing unnecessary items from the trunk
are also easy ways to lower fuel consumption.
The Car Care Council is the source of information for the Be Car Care Aware consumer education campaign promoting the
benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance
and repair to consumers. For a free copy of
the councils popular Car Care Guide or for
more information, visit www.carcare.org.
* Wash your car. A newly washed car

not only looks good, but its often much
safer as well. Take your car to a car wash
a few days before the trip and have the
vehicle thoroughly cleaned.
* Fix foggy headlight lenses. Many
spring and summer road trippers travel
at night so their days can be spent soaking up some sun at the beach or lake.
Before heading off for parts unknown,
motorists should inspect their headlight
lenses to reduce risk of accident. If the
lenses are yellowed and foggy, thats likely because salt, ozone and road debris
has dulled them to a point where vision
can be impaired, placing drivers and
their passengers at risk.
* Check the battery. Over time, battery
terminals and cables will start to corrode.
Such corrosion will eventually eat away
at the batterys parts, creating a bad connection that sooner or later will require
the battery be replaced. Check the bat-
tery before your trip and remember to

clean the battery periodically as part of
routine vehicle maintenance.
* Address windshield nicks and
bullseyes. Nicks and chips in the windshields are a common problem regardless of the season. But such damage is
most prevalent in the winter because of
the extra debris thats on the road. These
nicks and cracks need to get fixed as
soon as possible to prevent them from
spreading and resulting in the need for
a windshield replacement. Oftentimes,
motorists can address nicks and bullseyes in their own driveways in a matter
of minutes. For example, the Permatex
Bullseye Windshield Repair kit is tailor
made for do-it-yourselfers, requiring no
heating or mixing while ensuring each
repair is virtually undetectable.
More information on easy repairs
that you can do yourself can be found at

and about a third of those also

require phone usage to be
hands-free.
These laws are coming to
light for good reason. More
than 18 percent of fatalities
in distraction-related crashes involved a mobile phone,
according to the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration. And two-thirds
of Americans report they
support restricting the use of
hand-held mobile phones will
driving, according to a survey
by AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.
For businessmen and
women, smartphones are a
lifeline to getting business
done - while on the road. The
smartphone has become their
entire office - handling phone
calls, emails and viewing
documents.
Due to quickly advancing
technology, people are more
reliant on mobile phones
for both personal and business use. Hands-free devices
are allowing people to keep
both hands on the wheel and
their eyes on the road, while
still being able to take calls
and handle email using their
voice.
The Plantronics Marque
M155 Bluetooth headset is
discreet and lightweight - a
hands free device design to
fit a smartphone users communication style. If a call
were to come in while youre
behind the wheel, just say
answer to hold the conversation. Texting, tweeting and
managing emails also can be

done using your voice so you
can enjoy your ride and keep
your eyes on the road.
If youre always on the
go - whether its on the road
or moving from one meeting
to another - the Plantronics Voyager PRO HD offers
maximum performance with
crystal clear audio quality
and extended battery life. The
over-the-ear design is perfect
for all-day wear so you can
spend your day on the road
without missing any of your
work.
Legislation is getting
tougher on mobile phone use,
and the penalties are pretty
steep. For example, the federal law preventing commercial
drivers from holding mobile
phones can result in a $2,750
fine, along with the risk of
license revocation. Various
states have various laws restricting mobile phone use.
Since last July, New York which restricts drivers from
texting and driving - has issued 119,000 tickets to texting drivers.
April is Distracted Driving
Month, making this a good
time to review how handsfree devices on your mobile
phone can help you stay more
focused on the road in front
of you. Visit the Plantronics
blog at blogcentral.plantronics.com/distracted-driving to
learn more about how laws
are changing to reduce distracted driving events and
keep roadways safer.
